Does my best friend count?

Chapter 1
The night was foggy and dense, it seemed to hover over San Fransokyo heavily. But in the city light's were on and glowing, while many of the inhabitants were asleep there were a great many who were most definitely awake.
A great deal away from the wider more populated streets, in a dark alley a lone street light flickered on and off. In the alley sat two teens sat on the ground facing each other farther away from the loud noises. The girl was tall, well taller than her companion, she had shoulder blade length hair with choppy bangs, pale freckly flawless skin, and vivid green gold eyes, her eyes were green but around the iris was gold. She wore a blue tee-shirt with a dinosaur/unicorn eating a lollipop on it, she had oil stained overalls on and her feet were encased in red high tops. Her friend had a red tee-shirt with a robot on it, a mop of messy black hair, brown eyes, and some tennis shoes and some khaki pants.
"You're sure you want to do this Hiro? The girl asked.
"Yes Cresa," Hiro rolled his eyes, "You sound like Aunt Cass."
Cresa chuckled, and dug into her pocket she pulled out a roll of cash, "Here,"
"Aw for me?"
She laughed as she shoved him towards the light outside the alley they were hiding in.
"Get going you," she smiled
Hiro smiled and saluted her with two fingers and said, "Ten-four*"
Cresa responded, "Ten-four, now go!"
A loud clanging seemed to bang out of nowhere they jumped, the light flickered once more, on then off. The light revealed two bots one was red and was built along the lines of a square. It's boxy shape made it seem as though it would be slightly difficult to move, a mistaken assumption. The other bot was built like an ancient samurai, if samurai were round that is. The bulky bot was so big that most other bots would look a lot smaller by comparison, which was the point to begin with. The boxy red bot was controlled by a girl with almost neon pink hair and black clothes, she was focused a lot more so than her opponent. Her opponent was a large, more giant man, it is little wonder that many of his opponents cowered before him even though they hadn't started fighting. The man definitely did not seem to be concentrating as hard as the girl. The red bot knocked over the black and yellow one. The red bot opened and closed it's wire cutter hands, then moved forward to finally defeat the large man's robot. The samurai bot, turned it's head and one of it's 'hands' retracted a piece of it and a spinning circular blade appeared. Moving quickly the bot sawed the red one in half. Much to the dismay of the pink-haired girl, the shock and disbelief showed clearly on her face.
"The WINNER!, By total annihilation, YAMA!" announced a tall, skinny woman with an eye patch and dark black-blue hair.
She presented an oblong, circular pot, she took the lid off and Yama took the money.
"Who is next?" he asked and the crowds jubilant mood seemed to dim, " Who has the guts to step into the ring, with little Yama?"
One person hid their bot behind their back and another man ripped the head off of his bot. The silence seemed to loom until...
Cresa's POV
I smiled as I backed away from the center of the crowd as I heard Hiro's small, timid voice,
"Can I try?"
The crowd parted and Hiro stepped through the crowd,
"I have a robot, I built it myself"
I grinned the bot looked like he wanted a hug, he had magnetic bearing servos* and was probably one of the coolest things Hiro had ever built, even if it did kind of look like a bunny and I usually won't let Hiro forget that in any way.
Yama took one look at Hiro's bot, he looked confused, then he and the rest of the crowd (except me, duh) burst out laughing. Hiro's face to anyone except showed shock and embarrassment, but no one saw for the briefest instant the smile on his face.
"Beat it kid" said the fujita lady after she had chuckled a little, "house rules, you gotta pay to play." As she said this she put her hand on her hip.
"Oh" said Hiro reaching into his pocket and pulling out a wad of cash, "Is this enough?"
Yama chuckled again then said, "Whats your name, little boy?"
Hiro lowered the money and half smiled showing his crooked front teeth, "Hiro? Hiro Hamada"
Yama grinned manically, "Prepare your bot, Zero."
They both walked over to the ring, well Hiro did Yama was already there. Yama sat down heavily with a thwump sound, crossing his legs as he did so. Hiro sat down lightly but in very much the same manner, the look on his face, was half way between amusement, apprehension, and maybe, just maybe a little bit of fear. Yama cracked his neck loudly, for all to hear I thought disgusted. Then what Hiro did surprised me, not a bunch but you know a little, he took his hands put one on the top of his head and the other on his chin and made a crrick sound.
The fujita put her orange parasol in the middle of the ring and began to spin it.
"Two bots enter, one bot leaves, fighters ready..., FIGHT!"
Yama's bot spun around and it's shield had broken out the almost mini power saw, while Hiro's bot got up slowly and began, there was no other word waddling forward. Yama's bot quickly came forward and threw Hiros in the air, now moving even quicker the dark bot sliced his into three pieces. The clattered to the floor, Yama immediately began laughing and so did the crowd, I clenched my fists. Bot fight or no bot fight, I hated it when people laugh at my friends and by friends I just mean Hiro. He was leaning forward looking in disbelief at his "broken" bot.
"Th-That was my first fight, can, can I try again?" Hiro said sounding crushed.
"No one likes a sore loser little boy" said Yama, he chuckled "go home"
"But I've got more money"
Yama looked up to see him holding a roll of cash, a big one. He smiled they both put their money in and the lady snapped the lid of the oval container shut.
"Fighters ready?! FIGHT!"
Yama's bot drew out his circular saw and Hiro's bot magnetically came back together.
"Mega-Bot" he said as he pulled his controller out farther, "Destroy!"
I chuckled quietly at Yama's face as it went from smugness to shock and disbelief.
Hiro's bot suddenly went all out, flipping and dodging Yama's bot as he tried to hit his bot. Mega-Bot then began pulling various pieces of his bot off, then finally his head. Very much to Yama's shock, I was so glad that I was at the back because I couldn't stop laughing.
"What, what?" stuttered Yama, now usually I like stutters well let me rephrase that I like Hiro's stutter it makes him, him. But it didn't really become Yama, like at all.
"This is not possible!" he shouted,
"Hey I'm as surprised as you," said Hiro smiling at the woman who was giving him his money, with a shocked look on her face.
"Beginners luck, you turn to go again?," He looked up surprise and a flash of fear crossing his face, "Yama?"
"Great," I mumbled pushing through the crowd as two of Yama's goons dragged Hiro off, and everyone pretended that nothing had happened.
I stopped at the end of the alleyway and pinched the bridge of my nose, great now I have to save Hiro and most likely myself from the goons once I confront them.
"Wonderful" I grumbled as I walked down the alley to save my best friend.
*for you people who don't know what ten-four means it means goodbye, pretty much, I think I'll get back to you, Ten-four!
