The next day, BF was taking a stroll through Funk City as the city still thrives brightly even after a whole night had passed. As BF strolls, he notices all the rich people around with tense expressions. BF was confused about what was happening around him until he noticed the building screen playing a news report of a murder that occurred last night.
"A male pedestrian has been found brutally murdered in one of the dark alleyways of Funk City. While officials aren't giving us the victim's identity, they deduced that the pedestrian got beaten up in the alleyway, and the suspect decapitated the victim's head from his body. It is unknown who the suspect is at this time, as the police are still investigating the suspect's weapon and identity." The news reporter said.
BF was horrified at what he witnessed, along with everyone on the news. BF quickly deduced that the slaughtered pedestrian was the same one he collected the debt. BF does his best not to look suspicious as he walks through the crowd of people. BF felt as if his heart was going to erupt from his chest in fear. He had to find someplace to calm down before losing it.
"I need something to eat... I'm not getting this tension off me when I have an empty stomach..." BF said to himself.
Eventually, he goes to a Batting Cage alley where he could eat and have some fun getting money from the batting games. Sighing in relief, BF was about to head into the Batting Cage alley when he heard a familiar female voice call out to him.
"BF!" The voice called to him.
BF turned to see GF walking over to him in a sparkling red dress. The boy had a massive blush as he saw GF again after a long while apart. BF and GF hugged each other as a way to greet each other.
"BF! Where have you been? I was worried!" GF expressed her worries about BF's safety.
"Hey, GF! Uh, I'm sorry I didn't answer your calls. I was too depressed about my family's fallout with my brother. That was stupid of me, to say the least." BF gives an apologetic expression on his face.
"You could've talked to me about it..." GF replied by putting her hands on his shoulders.
"I know. I felt like I had to step away from my family for a while now that I'm all grown up, you know? And I didn't want anybody getting involved with my family's fallout. But I realized that was a huge mistake, and I don't think you'll forgive me for that..." BF lowered his head in shame.
"Something like that would never make me stop loving you, BF. How about we head inside the Batting Cage alley to forget all that?" GF smiled a little.
"To be honest, that's what I was doing." BF smiled warmly as he and GF walked into the Batting Cage alley to have time with each other again.
BF and GF were enjoying a nice meal they bought from the chef who gave them the meals. BF was eating a Porkchop with apples and green beans, and GF was eating hash browns, carrots, and orange slices. Having finished their meals, they sighed in relief as BF and GF's hunger was satiated.
"Man, I gotta admit, the food here has a richer taste than the last time we're here," BF commented on the food the Batting Cage alley provides.
"The Batting Cage is notorious for keeping rich foods here as a way to make their customers healthy, after all," GF replied.
"By the way, BF. You did happen to see the news tonight, right?" GF asked him.
"No, but I did see the news at the city before we got here. I can't believe someone just offed a pedestrian by decapitating them. Whatever sick monster would do that must've been batshit crazy to perform such a murder. And to make matters worse, the police haven't found out the suspect's weapon and identity as of right now. You think with how things are running right now, they would find out the victim's name faster, along with the suspect's identity and weapon." BF replied, seeing the TV.
"That's true. But because money flows like sand to everyone doesn't mean technology would advance faster." GF looked at the TV, discussing the murder.
"Well, whoever the murderer is, chances are, that batshit crazy person is going to the asylum, that's for sure," BF replied.
"I couldn't agree with you more, BF." A familiar voice replied to him.
BF and GF froze as they slowly turned to see Tabi, Ayana, and Dalia walking to them. BF and GF instinctively get ready for a fight with them.
"Hey, relax. We're not here to fight..." Tabi replied calmly.
"Why are you here, Tabi? Here to harass us again?" BF spoke to Tabi in an angered tone.
"Well, let's just say I feel I have to make an apology to GF," Tabi replied casually.
"Apology to me? What are you saying?" GF replied, confused over seeing Tabi's calm state.
Tabi walked over to GF and looked her straight in the eyes.
"I want to apologize and say that I'm sorry for attacking you. I thought for sure you had something to do with my transformation, along with your parents. At least, that's what Daddy Dearest said to me. But now that I know you didn't have anything to do with that, I want to say I'm sorry." Tabi sighed, showing his guilt over what happened at the restaurant that got blown to smithereens.
"Do you mean that?" GF was surprised to hear what Tabi had to say.
"He does mean that, GF. At least now, he will not try killing you again." Ayana replied casually.
"And besides, we are his girlfriends now, so..." Dalia shrugged his shoulders.
"Hold on a minute. If you two are Tabi's girlfriends, that will make three of you..." BF had a realization.
"A throuple. Yes, that's a real thing." Tabi answered, scratching the back of his neck.
"So, what are you doing here, anyway?" GF asked, curious about why Tabi, Ayana, and Dalia were at the Batting Cage alley.
"Well, since the world economy is in a bubble era as we speak, I figured we'd play a game of Batting Cages to get some money out of it," Tabi responded by pointing to the highest challenging game of Batting Cages to his right. The glowing sign representing the highest difficulty of the Batting Cage game says "Super Gold Rush."
"Woah, you going to try that difficulty of the game? You'll lose your money!" BF warned him.
"Oh, really now? Ayana, Dalia, wait here." Tabi replied as he walked off to the game.
Ayana and Dalia giggled at Tabi's confidence as they sat at a nearby table. Tabi gives $5,000,000 to the female cashier with his credit card. The cashier nodded her head as she let him into the game area. Tabi loosens his shoulders as he grabs a metal bat and prepares to start the game, with BF, GF, Ayana, and Dalia all watching him from a distance.
"I don't see how he could crush the highest difficulty of a Batting Cage game," GF spoke, unsure of why Tabi's confidence was so high.
"Watch, and you'll see..." Dalia replied.
The screen turns on, signifying the game is ready. The first baseball gets launched as Tabi readies and swings the metal bat at the baseball, hurling it onto the gold coin on the screen. The coin in question gives $300,000 to Tabi. This shocked BF and GF as Ayana and Dalia gave them smug smiles. Tabi hurls another ball at the next gold coin, getting $500,000. Then, Tabi hurls the next ball at the next gold coin, getting $700,000. Then, $1,000,000, then, $1,500,000, and then, $2,000,000.
BF and GF had their jaws dropping in shock.
"What the hell?! I heard Tabi wasn't a great baseball player! How is Tabi swinging the bat so effectively?!" BF asked in surprise.
"What Tabi is doing is using an ability called Foresight..." Dalia replied to him.
"Foresight?" GF asked, confused about what Dalia meant.
"It's an ability that allows you to predict anyone or anything that tries to attack you. It's a practical ability if you get into a tight spot in a fight. In this case, Tabi sees the baseballs as a threat, allowing him to use Foresight to predict where and how the baseballs are hurling toward him. I mean, can you blame him? I heard a person's jaw was broken from an incoming baseball once." Ayana explained Tabi's ability.
"I wouldn't blame him, either. That incident was gnarly to witness." GF replied.
Tabi then hurls another baseball into a rainbow coin that gives him $15,000,000. Then, another ball was hurled at the next gold coin, giving Tabi $3,000,000. Then, the next coin gave him $4,000,000. Then, $5,000,000. And finally, once Tabi hits the final baseball, it hurls onto the final gold coin, granting him a whopping $7,000,000 for Tabi's bank account. Ayana and Dalia cheered the goat man on, while BF and GF were just mind-blown on the flawless execution of Tabi's ability.
The prize person gives Tabi a suitcase which contains the $40,000,000 inside. Tabi gives the prize person a handshake as he takes the suitcase and walks out of the gaming area. Ayana and Dalia hugged Tabi, who responded with a seductive chuckle.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about one thing, GF," Tabi spoke to her.
"I'm sure you know by now how evil your parents are. So I'm not done with my revenge on them yet..." Tabi looked back at her and BF.
BF and GF put stern faces at Tabi, who doesn't flinch.
"If they continue to be around, they'll cause too much harm to others... You know that..." Tabi finishes saying to them as he, Ayana, and Dalia walk out of the Batting Cage alley.
GF sighed in sadness as she knew what Tabi said was true.
"Hey, don't listen to what Tabi said, okay? There might not be anything Tabi could do to stop your parents." BF tries to reassure her.
"He always knows his way around things, BF. He isn't wrong about what my parents do to people." GF replied calmly, putting her hands on BF's cheeks.
She kissed him on the cheek, which surprised BF, making him blush.
"I'm sure we'll stop him if we have to, GF. You have my word..." BF smiled warmly, giving GF a gentle hug.
GF hugged him back, trying not to let Tabi's words get into her head.
"So... You wanna try that game out, too?" BF asked her.
"You know I do." GF chuckled as she and BF walked to participate in the Super Gold Rush to get the money like Tabi.
Unbeknownst to them, however, Hank J. Wimbleton, Tricky's adversary, was watching them from outside the Batting Cage arena. Knowing BF's mysterious powers, which he showed last night to the now-deceased pedestrian, he would spy on BF to ensure he doesn't abuse his powers. He grunted as he walked away from the Batting Cage alley, hoping no one would see him.
