No Guns Life

Renegade Extended

Juzo Inui returns to his office to find a renegade Extended hiding within. He is on the run from the Security Bureau who accuses him of kidnapping a boy, Tetsuro Arahabaki, from the Berühren Corporation orphanage. The renegade asks Juzo for help to protect Tetsuro and Juzo reluctantly takes on the job. Juzo takes the boy to a safe place, however he is met by a nun who reveals herself to be Karen, an Extended agent working for Berühren Corp to recover Tetsuro. The renegade appears and tries to help, but both he and Juzo are shot and Karen retrieves the boy. The dying renegade reveals that he is Tetsuro remote controlling an empty Extended body with Harmony, an experimental and illegal Berühren remote control device implanted in his body. Angered by how Berühren abused and experimented on Tetsuro, Juzo attacks the train carrying him back to Berühren HQ. (Source: Wikipedia)

Extended Remote-Control Device

Juzo destroys the train carrying Karen and the Berühren guards and rescues Tetsuro, but the incident is blamed on the Spitzebergen terrorist group. A news report claims that Tetsuro is the eldest son of Berühren Corp CEO Soichiro Arahabaki, though Juzo finds the story hard to believe. He takes Tetsuro to Mary Steinberg, and underground extension mechanic. Mary agrees to give Tetsuro some basic extensions to repair the damage to his body, but can't do much until he regains consciousness. Juzo is lured into a trap by the Berühren representative Cunningham when he tries to find his favorite brand of cigarettes, Tanegashima. The cigarettes are chemically altered to ease nerve strain and reduce wear in the nervous system of Extendeds. Cunningham admits that Testuro is Soichiro's son and attempts to coerce Juzo into giving up Tetsuro. However, with Mary's help, Juzo is able to defeat the Berühren squad, forcing Cunningham to flee. As Mary helps Juzo back to her shop, she reveals that Tetsuro has regained consciousness. (Source: Wikipedia)

Puppet

Mary fits arm and leg extensions to Tetsuro which increases his mobility, but he is still too weak to walk. The Harmony inside Tetsuro prevents her from restoring his voice, so he speaks remotely through an extended head piece. Huang from the local Kyusei Group arrives and offers Juzo a job to track down someone who is attacking children, removing their extensions, hanging the parts in public areas and leaving the children comatose. Juzo tell Huang to take care of his own turf, but believes that Berühren is behind the attacks in an effort to lure out Tetsuro. Tetsuro then asks Juzo to help track down the culprit and protect the children, but when Juzo refuses, Tetsuro uses Harmony to take control of Juzo and leaves to search for the attacker himself. He comes across two girls being chased by a Kyusei Group enforcer and saves them. He learns the girls, Anne and Ende, were sent by Berühren to catch Tetsuro but they see Juzo as a threat. Ende transforms into a spider-like Extended and attacks him, firing poisoned bullets, however she loses control of her prosthesis and collapses. Anne takes Ende back to Cunningham, requesting medical care for her, but Cunningham decides to have the two 'gears' retired for failing in their mission. Tetsuro suddenly intervenes, saving the girls once again. (Source: Wikipedia)

Trigger

Tetsuro is inexperienced in operating Juzo's body and is overpowered by Cunningham's bodyguards. Cunningham realizes that Tetsuro is controlling Juzo so he orders Anne and Ende to seize Tetsuro's body and kill Juzo. However, the girls hesitate when they realize Tetsuro’s situation and a frustrated Cunningham shoots Ende with drugged bullets before he leaves. The drugs make Ende go berserk and lose control of her extensions, mortally wounding Anne and forcing Tetsuro's mind out of Juzo's body. As Anne dies, she pleads with Tetsuro to save Ende. He attempts to use Harmony to take control of Ende, but his sub-brain shorts out due to over use. Juzo regains control of his body and reveals that he was conscious while Tetsuro was controlling him. Juzo orders Tetsuro to use his head mounted gun to stop Ende and the ensuing blast destroys her extensions and causes a beam of light to shoot up into in the sky. Later, Juzo and Tetsuro are forced to leave the Kyusei Pit which is no longer safe for them while Mary repairs Ende's extensions and works on a solution to reawaken Ende and the comatose children. Juzo chastises Tetsuro for forcefully taking control of his body, making him no better than Berühren, and forbids him from ever using Harmony on him again. Meanwhile, a woman watches footage of the beam of light caused by Juzo's gun and wonders if Juzo realizes the implications of his actions. (Source: Wikipedia)

EMS

Tetsuro is concerned that the discharge of Juzo's head gun will attract the attention of the EMS, the police agency responsible for monitoring ex-military Over-Extendeds. Tetsuro tries to leave, but Juzo insists that he should stay for his own protection. Juzo, Tetsuro, and Mary are invited to eat crab with Juzo's landlord, Chris, however Juzo declines as he avoids getting emotionally close to anybody. Juzo goes to have his parts serviced by his neighbor Scarlet's father, but they are confronted by Olivier, the head of the EMS. Olivier takes Juzo, Tetsuro, Mary, Chris, Scarlet, and Scarlet's father into custody to protect them from Berühren. In return, she asks Juzo to apprehend two of several prisoners who escaped EMS custody during transit. Olivier admits that EMS is forced to transfer Extended prisoners to Berühren because they are the only licensed manufacturers of corsets, devices which suppress an Extended's sub-brain. Their motorcade is suddenly ambushed by Hug Bear, one of the escaped prisoners, but he is swiftly stopped by EMS' Section Chief, Kronen. Kronen mistrusts Juzo, but Olivier warns that they need his help to capture the last prisoner, Hayden Gondry, who is the first recorded renegade Extended. (Source: Wikipedia)

Hero

With Juzo's friends held in EMS custody, Olivier assigns him the task of capturing Hayden Gondry. Hayden was one of the first military Extended used in the war and is infamous for going berserk and slaughtering his own men and an inspection team, including Olivier's father, in an event called the Nightmare of Norse Scott. The records of his past activities have been lost, and the government sealed him away in prison without trial to bury the entire incident. However, Hayden has recently escaped and murdered three people. Olivier wants Juzo to bring Hayden back alive so that he can be tried for his crimes. Later, Juzo examines the home of one of Hayden's victims and has a brief skirmish with Kronen before realizing that Hayden is targeting his former colleagues who were members Tindalos, the first generation of Extended. Juzo deduces that Hayden's next target is Tokisada Mega Armed, the first Extended and a powerful businessman. Kronen takes Juzo in his vintage Corvette Stingray to an event attended by Mega Armed and they foil an assassination attempt. They discover the assassin is a decoy and not Hayden, but as Mega Armed makes his escape, he is ambushed by Hayden himself, who was cloaked to appear as a young girl. (Source: Wikipedia)

Overheating

Olivier is suspended due to her failure to obey the order to eliminate Hayden and a possible conflict of interest because Hayden murdered her father. Meanwhile, Tetsuro uses Harmony to take control of an EMS guard while Juzo and Kronen save Mega Armed from an attack by Hayden. Kronen suggests that Olivier's superiors want Hayden dead so they can cover up his crimes. He is forced to follow orders and abandon the case, however Juzo decides to keep his word to Olivier and capture Hayden alive. Hayden attacks Mega Armed again but Juzo and Kronen collaborate to apprehend him. However, Mega Armed tries to eliminate all three of them to prevent news of Norse Scott being released. Elsewhere, a girl named Pepper is frustrated that her plan to assassinate Mega Armed by taking control of Hayden with Harmony has failed. Back at EMS, Tetsuro uses Harmony to take control of a guard so he can deliver medicinal cigarettes to Juzo, and then helps Olivier escape her guards. With Hayden defeated, Mega Armed turns on Juzo and Kronen, stating that the details of the Norse Scott event must never be made public or it would ruin the reputation of extension technology. After knocking out Kronen, Mega Armed attacks Juzo. (Source: Wikipedia)
