Sorry it took so long to update this story. I HAVE A LIFE TOO! Anyway…here are the parts in the story.
Danny the boy that's treated as a guard dog is now played by Hibiki.
Bart the so called uncle will be played by no other than…Bart.
Mac and David are playing the roll as the Boss's henchmen. There was only one in the movie but it's much neater to put in two.
The man in the shop was in the movie too, I'm giving him a different name though.
Onward to the story.
I don't own Vandread or the movie Unleashed.
Chpt.2 Piano
"You stupid dolt!" Bart said as he smacked Hibiki's face. It was punishment for his pathetic performance. "I almost died because of you!" He hit him again, "Doesn't that mean anything!" Hibiki's face held the trance like expression again. Bart hit him one last time, "ARRGH! You make me so mad sometimes you know that? Mac, get the car ready, were going to our next spot."
"You sure Bart?" Mac asked, "You're pretty beaten up."
"I'm sure, if we don't show up; we'll be in worse trouble. They will think they can do whatever they please. Its bad business."
Mac just shrugged as he went back in the truck. "You're the boss."
David sat upfront with Mac while Hibiki sat in the back with his uncle, giving him another lecture about his stupidity. They drove around for a while until they came to a big where house. The words on the wall said 'Musical and Wonderful Antiques' a piano was painted in the center. It made Hibiki happy; it was like the one from his book.
"Are you listening to a single word I'm saying!" Bart yelled in the boy's ear. "You're getting on my nerves. Anyway, I'm going to teach you something."
The four of them went through the back way and down to the cellar. The only source of light at that moment was a window revealing dusty pianos everywhere.
Bart hooked up a strange red light to the wall. "Here's what were going to do Hibiki." He began, "Were going to teach you when to enter. Its quite simple really…were…"
Hibiki blanked out his annoying uncle in began to fixate on the pianos. Pianos always made him happy for some odd reason. How he would love to play one.
"Listen to me when I'm talking!" Bart hollered grabbing Hibiki's head making him face him. "When the light goes on, I want you to go into the other room. You understand? Light goes on, you attack. Light…attack. Got it?"
Hibiki gave out a slight nod.
"That's a good boy. Now keep your eye on the light."
With a slam of the door, Hibiki was left alone to stare at a turned off light. He was surrounded by temptation from all the pianos. They looked so nice. He quickly jerked his head back to the light…still nothing. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to get close to one. Hibiki walked backwards to a black piano by the wall, keeping his watchful eye on the light. His hands brushed the keyboard making an odd sound. He turned to face it…and touched the keys ever so slightly.
"She's nice isn't she?" A figure said coming downstairs. Hibiki immediately ran back to the light. "Heh…You don't need to get up on my account. I'm just here to tune her up."
The man wore a red eye patch over one of his eyes and his attire was questionable. He sat down to the piano and began to play its keys. "Oh my dear, you could use a bit of help." He said to the piano. "Hey sir, I could use a bit of help if that's alright."
Hibiki wanted to play with the piano some more but knew his uncle would be mad if he disobeyed orders.
"Come on now. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Hibiki still stayed in place.
"Are you still there? I can't see very well and its kind of a problem."
Hibiki waved his hands in the air to see if the man was telling the truth…the man didn't even notice. This guy wasn't kidding.
"Sir, are you still here?"
Hibiki gave out a small sound, "Y…Yes."
The man smiled, "Good, if you aren't so shy, would you like to help me?"
"Yes."
"Great, sit right by me."
Hibiki completely forgot what he was supposed to be doing and sat at the stool chair by the man.
"Before we gat started lets introduce ourselves." The man offered his hand to Hibiki to shake, "My name's Sam. Of course you can just call me Rabat. Most people around here do. What's your name?"
Hibiki was silent by fear. Rabat only gave out a chuckle and put his hand on the keyboard.
"Alright, Mr. No-name. If you don't want to tell me, you don't need to. Anyway let's get started then. I need you to press that key right here when I give the word." Hibiki put his finger on the selected key while Rabat tinkered with the cords inside of the grand piano. "Alright, you can begin now."
Hibiki pressed it so weakly that it barely made a sound.
"You can press it harder." Rabat assured, "it won't break."
With that Hibiki pressed it slightly harder making an odd tune.
"Yeah, that's it. Keep pressing it."
The sound became sweeter with every press until its rich sound that it should sing came. Hibiki still happily pressed the key making Rabat chuckle again.
"Calm down. You're done."
Rabat sat back on the stool and turned his to Hibiki. "You want to hear what you did?" He asked the boy.
"Yes." Hibiki happily said.
Rabat began to play. The wonderful music flowed throughout the room. It made Hibiki overjoyed. He was amazed at the sound.
"Did you like that?" Rabat asked finishing the song.
Hibiki nodded, "Yes."
"Tell me Mr. No-name. Do you hear this strange sound?"
"?"
"It kind of sounds like buzzing."
Hibiki turned his face to the light. It was buzzing as it BLINKED ON! Hibiki immediately ran off to the next room. He burst open the door to see his three companions get the tar beaten out of them.
His uncle stared at him with flaming eyes; he was in trouble when they got back home.
He was indeed in a ton of trouble. He found himself being hit again by his uncle.
"HONESTLY!" He bellowed slapping the boy, "I tell you to do one thing! ONE THING! And you can't even do that! ARGH!"
"Hey boss!" David ran in the room, "Some man wants to see you."
Bart was in no mood for this but never gave up a chance to meet with a customer. "Fine, bring him in." He then turned his face toward Hibiki, "We'll talk about this later."
Hibiki knew he wasn't going to enjoy later very much.
The man entered the room. He looked at Hibiki with interest as Hibiki stared out a window.
"Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" Bart asked the man.
"Actually yes. We met at a museum the other day. My name's Harold and I have a very profitable proposition for you and your dog over there."
"Oh really? What is it?"
"I'm head of an underground battle arena where warriors fight to the death. I've been lacking in good fighters for a while and I think that boy is perfect. You'd be paid for winning and the pay is extremely good. Do you care to join?"
That's chapter two for you. I made Rabat the piano tuner because in the movie, the man's name is Sam also (Rabat's real name is Sam if you didn't know.) so I put the two together. I forgot the gladiator man's name so I called him Harold. The other vandread characters are soon to come. Just wait and see for now. Next chapter is called Gladiator.
