Eep! This took me so long to actually write. I'm just lazy. Anyway I know that a lot of you don't think Bart's a bad guy, me too. But in the movie unleashed Danny (Hibiki) had an Uncle named Bart. So I just stuck him is as the crime boss. Sorry Bart.
Chpt.3 Gladiator
Ding went the elevator as it went to the lowest level. Bart emerged with someone in a shaggy cloak. The two of them walked down the hall where they met the man called Harold by a balcony surrounding an enormous pit.
"So," Bart began looking at the floor below them. "Sign us up for this."
Harold cleared his throat, "Of course, but before you do that, may I present you to the champion." He motioned toward the pit where a very powerful vanguard was beating some pieces of metal with his sword.
"Well today he will." Bart pulled off the cloak incasing Hibiki.
Hibiki's dull eyes stared at him as the man pulled of the cloth around his neck.
"GET HIM!" Bart cried and the boy darted to a vanguard.
The vanguard wasn't even prepped for battle. It was mostly there to haul away broken vanguards. Hibiki made it charge straight at the deadly robot. With a high kick, Hibiki's vanguard thrust at the enemy robot's neck again and again and again. After the sixth time, Hibiki stopped to see the vanguard blow up.
Harold looked with awe and Bart clapped like crazy.
"That's my boy! Nice work Hibiki!"
After the champ was disposed of. Harold handed Bart a large sum of money in his hand.
"We'd like to see you again, but this time with a crowd."
"Sure thing." Bart replied.
"I also have something to ask you," Harold interrupted, "How did you turn a man into a dog?"
"It's like what my mom used to say. Get them while their young…and the possibilities are endless." And with that Hibiki and Bart left.
"So did it go well?" David asked.
"Of course it did!" Bart laughed in joy, "Just look at this sum. We won't need to work ever again. Hey I like the sound of that. Maybe I should retire."
"Where to boss?" Mac asked pleased with this idea as well.
"Hmmm…someplace sunny. Ya know, tropical. Nothing but beach and girls."
"Sounds good!"
"Yeah, and it will be all thanks to Hibiki." Bart turned to the boy staring out the window, "You know, I'm in such a good mood today, I'll buy you something."
Hibiki was silent as he watched the buildings pass by.
"Come on Hibiki. Don't you have anything you'd like?"
The truck passed the building they went to the other day.
Hibiki gave a slight smile then said, "A piano."
"What?" Mac laughed, "What would you do with a piano!"
"I want a piano."
"Mac's right Hibiki," Bart sighed, "You wouldn't know what to do with it. I know I'll get you a girl. You never had a girl before."
"I want a piano!" Hibiki repeated.
"Fine, fine. Whatever. You probably don't even know what it is. But I know. I especially know that our lives are about to change for the better."
But how Bart was wrong for just then, another truck rammed right into theirs making it tumble and flip over. After, a vanguard jumped out of the enemy truck and began to shoot them with a pistol. Once he ran out of bullets, the vanguard ran back in and the truck drove off supposing that they were all dead.
The truck was totaled, could have anyone lived? But as one of the doors opened, Hibiki fell out. His arm bleeding terribly and he limped. He was in terrible shape. Of course, Hibiki knew nothing of the outside world so he couldn't call for help. He went to the only place that made him happy.
Rabat moved toward an old piano covered in dust just like all the others.
"Hello my dear." He greeted the instrument, "I know you've been waiting all this for me so I'll devote my time to you today."
A sudden sound of footsteps caught Rabat's attention. "Hello? Is someone there?"
"…"
"It's you isn't it, Mr. No name."
"Yes…" Hibiki silently said.
Rabat began to talk to him but it all sounded too cloudy. The blood loss was too much for the boy and he collapsed in a puddle of his own blood.
Oh no! What will become of our hero? Here's a hint: He meets Dita! Next episode: My Name Is Hibiki.
