Chapter 4: Dapitan City Blues

After hearing of Roe's plan of revenge, Lee tries to discuss with the others in how to stop him.

"This fatso needs to teach him some manners. He wants to make Hunyo pay after he was defeated. Just like how Kazuya did it to him."

"It sounds like my father all right." Jin said as he frowns in disappointment. "But he does not accept his defeat."

"It's pretty weird about that location. A cock fighting arena?" Lee became confused as Jin, Drey and Rodeo are shocked on his words which he replies in embarrassment.

"Hey silver dude, didn't you know about the word "cock", haven't you?"

"Uhhh... I know that word too... I'm thinking about the location that Roe kept on saying." Lee reacted while his cheeks became rosier until Rhima tells them.

"You guys always thinking about this word you meant is a manhood. It has another term at my place. Cockfighting is a fight between two animals. The cockfighting arena that Mr. Lee meant about is a battle of two roosters."

"A rooster fight?" Jin wondered which Rhima tells them.

"Actually this fight between two roosters are called sabong. Not just the fight in who is the best, it's going to kill each of them with a tari on one of their ankles."

"I get it, whoever survives that fight, wins." Drey said knowing of the battle. "We also have one at my place too. If one rooster mortally wounds another rooster with a tari it will win."

"So that's what it means about that place." Rodeo said knowing of the enemy's location.

"So these roosters are using blades to kill each other. Looks fun..." Jin said wanted to watch it which Rhima tells him.

"It was a considered as a sport. People are also doing bets in which rooster is gonna win. It's like a gambling session to me."

"Very well... we could rest up for tomorrow. We need to observe Roe's movement and his whereabouts. I'm sure that he has more plans that we haven't noticed yet." Lee said telling them to be ready to observe their enemy as Rhima informs them.

"Before we do that, I need to tell you that there's no cockfighting arena at Dapitan City. Only it has city proper and it's attractions. So I think our enemy would correct this."


Day 2: 8:00 AM

As everyone is gathered at the reception while waiting at the bus, Hunyo was surprised to see Rhima is with the same guy from yesterday.

"Rhima, how come he's still with you?"

"He's just want to accompany me, dad." Rhima replied which makes Hunyo get confused.

"He sure is strange..."

"Just let them be, Hunyo. She even likes to see the display made out of shells that you've bought on the island." Lee said making him give Jin a signal to leave.

"Let's go, Rhima..." Jin whispered as Rhima agrees as both leave.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes... after we ate dinner before they get back to their rooms." Lee replied until they saw Rolento who visits at the private resort they had currently stayed while talking to its owner.

"All right, I'll do my best to investigate this matter. I never noticed a fugitive staying this resort as his safe haven."

"Hey, Rolento... what are you doing here? You're still operating your own resort too." Hunyo greets him which Rolento replies in a smirk.

"My daughter Kikay is handling my duties. So I came here to investigate about the fugitive is on the loose."

"That's what Lee is saying about the fugitive. You mean that fat bastard from Arias Verde."

"Yeah... he's the one... I think that bastard wants to take revenge against you." Rolento said as he warns him. "That guy seems to have motives to kill you."

"..."

"Rolento, it is ready and prepared." King II arrives to see them which surprises Hunyo.

"So what's the preparations that King had prepared, Rolento?"

"I was told by the dean from UE Caloocan to do some nice activities. After this city tour, the next activity would be an MMA style wrestling match."

"Ooohhh, sounds like this is an actual fight." Lee smirked elegantly as Hunyo wanted to challenge him.

"MMA looks fun... Can't wait to face you?"

"Not just your own fighting style, Hunyo. It's more like a catch style of fighting. Just like how Craig Marduk would do." Rolento said telling him until Mr. Sakyo calls them to ride a bus.

"Seems like you're coming with us, Rolento." Hunyo said which he accepts.

"Yeah... Can't wait to find that fugitive?"

The bus finally leaves the resort as their first visit is the Rizal Shrine where their national hero takes his exile as a doctor. As they visited the place, King II just smelled someone's scent which is among one of Hunyo's colleagues which Rolento nudges him.

"King, did you smell something? It's kinda weird that you're a human who wore a jaguar mask can smell anything."

"Other people think of me I'm not a human. But I'm really a human because I'm a Mexican priest who manages the orphanage." King II answered as he roars like jaguar. "I'm acting and growls like a jaguar because of my mask. I just smell something odd on one of those college professors."

"Yeah you're right... I'm guessing this fat bastard must be that fugitive we've been searching for. No wonder he's hanging out with Hunyo's posse." Rolento grinned to see something suspicious.

They explore all kinds of houses where Rizal lived during his four years exile as Mr. Sakyo explains when he showed our national hero's home in Casa Residencia and it's kitchen. Other Casas were built for his students, his patients and his visitors who visits him. Both Jin and Rhima are taking a view at the Mi Retiro Rock where Rizal wrote the longest poem as well as watching the sunset for hours with his wife Josephine Bracken. As everyone takes their lunch in the town proper of Dapitan City, Jin and Rhima are in a different restaurant where they could spend their date properly while they were separate with Hunyo and the rest who were eating at the buffet. Lee, Rolento and King II are watching on both of them.

"How come you're not with Hunyo, Lee?" Rolento asked which Lee grins at him.

"I hate if we get involved on Hunyo's colleagues. I decided to take a break here."

"Guess that Jin is always sticking up with Rhima nowadays. This is just like they were staying at the beach." King II commented of their relationship until the arrival of Roe where he meets his game partner Isaak.

"Ahh... Boss Roe! You're back!"

"Shhh... now just be quiet! Everyone is gonna hear you that I was here. And by the way, there's no cockfighting arena in this town." Roe said trying to shutting him up.

"Uhhh, I didn't know there's no cockfighting arena here, Boss Roe. So when do we plan on eradicating on that guy. After all you got defeated by him." Isaak said which Roe tells him.

"At the place called Gloria's Fantasyland, that's what we need to discuss of our plan."

"Looks like they're about to leave. We have to follow them, Rhima." Jin said telling her.

"Maybe it's better you put your facial disguise and hat, Jin. It's better if you're not being confused as my dad." Rhima said calmly making Jin to put his hat and facial disguise.

"It's really hard to fix my hair because my long bangs are too big to cover on my hat."

"Hee hee..." Rhima giggles at him.

At the outside of Gloria's Fantasyland, they finally take espionage on Roe's movements since its amusement park was opened during the night. To their discovery, Isaak manage to bring all of the remaining Arias Verde soldiers left in it's Philippine branch who were just escaped after being disbanded.

"I knew our back up was safe after they disband the Philippine branch, Boss Roe."

"I'm so impressed of you, Isaak. You managed to bring them before they got caught from the authorities. "

"These guys are the ones gonna put that Hunyo guy down, Boss Roe."

"Don't use them yet. I have another thing in my mind in how to take my revenge on him. Since they were just college professors who took vacation, I guess I'll try posing as like them and I will definitely find out about their next activity is going to do." Roe smirked evilly.

As Roe discusses about his plan of revenge, everyone became disappointed about this especially to Rhima knowing he wanted to kill her father. After having a city tour within Dapitan City, we can see Rolento faces off against one of Hunyo's colleagues who is specializes in Judo in a MMA grappling match. King II serving as a referee wearing a dark gray and blue long vest and his wrestling primary attire being in a different shades of purple and gray knee-high wrestling boots. Rolento simply defeats it with one grappling move.

"Wow, this guy is tough..."

"Simple, you're gonna take me down with one grappling technique. I'm not gonna use every punches during this activity." Rolento smirked which King II gives him a thumbs up.

"Those two are a complete match. We cannot beat them down with just carrying them." One of the professors said which the other one replied.

"We're not grapplers, don't ask me."

"Hmph, seems like this guy looks tough to beat. Beating them like in a wrestling match." Rodeo said amusing which Drey noticed his football uniform.

"Rodeo, is that your football uniform? Looks nice and you were really a Quarterback."

"Okay, now who likes to take me down. Because whoever beats me, your dean will give you more surprises." Rolento said convincing the others which Hunyo raises his hand.

"I'll do it... Mr. Sakyo is definitely had full of surprises. Because he knows that it was a exquisite buffet for everyone."

"You got me, Hunyo."

"Oh yeah... I know that you're a grappler. But for me, I can hold my own against you." Hunyo said challenging him which Rolento accepts.

"Fine, I guess it's you and me."

"These two are gonna heated up with this fight." King II said while fixing his two large chains on his neck.

Meanwhile, both Jin and Rhima are watching their activity knowing this activity is grappling.

"I hope my dad would win this game." Rhima said as Jin replies in a rude manner while having his arm crossed.

"Basically, I would broke this guy's arm if I grappled him down. I would never expect we would stay at this bar."

"Mr. Lee told us to stay here and watch, Jin. Because they would think you were my dad." Rhima said telling him as both watch the battle between Hunyo and Rolento.

Both were equally match in combat as Hunyo takes him down with a grapple while Rolento does the same. King II realizes their battle was very serious. Therefore, two other professors came to order some juice at the bar as Rhima saw them.

"Hey, you're Hunyo's daughter, right. I didn't expect you were watching the fight."

"I wanted my dad to win that activity. Both of you are not going to participate, haven't you?" Rhima replied as Jin is under the table while indian sitting to hide as he rudely thought in disappointment.

I wouldn't expect these two would be here. Now that I can't watch the whole battle.

The two continues to fight as everyone is surprised that Hunyo is able to beat him. With that, Hunyo eventually grapples Rolento down, defeating him as King II points him being the winner as everyone makes a round of applause.

"All right... Hunyo wins..."

"I know my dad would win..." Rhima smirked as Jin angrily dismayed not to watch the whole battle as he quickly stands up while heavily bumped into his head with a "bump" sound under the table.

"Uhh... do you hear something?"

"Nah, it's just the wind... thanks for meeting you, young lady."

As the two professors leave, Rhima saw Jin got hurt his head badly when he bumps under the table due to his height.

"Are you okay, Jin? You look hurt..." Rhima said worried as Jin tells her while clutching his head.

"Seems like my head hurts, Owww...!"

Hunyo then helped Rolento stand up and he realizes that he was the one who defeat Roe during the infiltration in Arias Verde.

"I realized that it was you who threw that fatso out."

"It was an excellent match. Good for you two." Lee claps them for their performance as he informs all of the professors. "Okay, everyone. The buffet is ready!"

Everyone finally leaves after the activity as Roe evilly glared on the three of them while he continues to leave with the others.

"Looks like that fatso has some killing attempt, Hunyo. His partner had already amassed with the remaining flunkies left in Arias Verde." Rolento informs Hunyo about Roe's plan of revenge much to his surprise.

"I just took him down several days ago and was arrested by the authorities. But how did he escaped in jail?"

"I think he used the last remaining funds from their contributions, Hunyo." Lee said telling him.

"So he manages to escape in jail and he takes refuge in this resort. So that's why I didn't noticed it was really him." Hunyo said as he raises his brow in disappointment.

"You should check them out, Hunyo. That way you would find that fat bastard posing as your colleagues." Lee said as Rolento also tells him.

"Make sure, you caught him."

"Yeah..." Hunyo agrees to both of them as King II happily roars at the trio.

While everyone is having dinner at the buffet, we can both Jin and Rhima remained at the beach as she put a cold compress on Jin's head after he got bumped heavily under the table bar.

"I feel much better. Thanks for the first aid."

"Those two professors are very sneaky to see us." Rhima said as Jin takes the cold compress while he puts on his head.

"I wouldn't expect those two would be here to buy drinks. Now it's starting to irritate me."

"Seems like you haven't participate in that activity." Rodeo arrives to see them and he faces Jin while handling a cold compress on his head. "Ever since we took down Arias Verde. I wanted to challenge you in a match."

"Hmph, very well... I would accept your challenge." Jin calmly accepts the challenge as he gives the cold compress to Rhima as he stands up. "I'm not in a pretty good mood today."

"Yo! Rhima..." Drey arrives to see them and to his surprise, Rodeo decided to challenge Jin into a fight which he warms up by rolling his arm.

"You see... I'm a quarterback at my place. That makes my decision to become a soldier. I want to know if whoever is the one who had defeated Revenant."

"I hate if someone who is overconfident in their abilities. Very well, big guy... Let's do it." Jin said as he readied his fighting stance.

"I can't wait to see this fight." Drey smiled in excitement which Rhima smirks.

"Don't be happy just yet. I know this fight would be very challenging."

With that, both Rodeo and Jin charge to exchange their blows as the fight begins.
