"Hand it over boy..if you know whats best for you." One of the thugs said. He gripped a big sword in his hand and pointed it at boy. The second thug pointed a riffle at the boy and said."Unless you want to be sliced and cut up..i thing you should hand it over." he said. The boy was caught at a dead end. He seem to be holding something tightly in his fist and kept it close to his chest. He than said."No! i have to get this back to the professor at once!." he shouted. The third thug jumped in." Boy,do you have anything idea what that bracelet is? it's something thats gonna make our dreams come true and some little brat isn't gonna get in out way!. Now hand it over!" he said. Boy spit in his face and manged to get away from the thugs and dashed off."i can't let them have this..no matter what. This was my very first mission by the professor..i just can't let them! no way!." the boy thought as he ran. People in streets watched as the boy ran away and the thugs ran after him. They all hid in fear as those thugs came running back. Even if their where many of the towns folks there...that could had least called the marines. Vandal watched,abit shame of the townsfolks." I mean damn..theres three of them and a ton of you. Are you all really scared of them?" he said and popped his knuckles." I lost the due to the crowd of cowards,but..i found them. Time to help the kid." he said and ran off to the kid
The boy looked back."They are still after me..i might as well give up.." he said with a sighed. Just when the boy was about to give up,he bumped into his rescuer."Hey kid..whats up?" Vandal asked with his hands in his pocket. The boy backed up some and heard the thug's foot steps closing in. "Hey,no need to be scared of me. How about this..i help you out? just get behind me." Vandal said with a thumbs up. The boy had no choice,even if he didn't trust the Vandal he behind him. "Hey goggles..get out the way!" the thugs said."Hey,don't hate and also,it's not nice to pick on little kids ya know." he said. The first thug pointed his sword at him and sneered."Get out the way punk!." he said. Vandal popped his knuckles and smirked."You gotta make me~." he said."Fine than..eat my sword!." the thug swung his sword at Vandal with a lot of power. However,Vandal held his arm out to block the sword."Thats it?" he teased."Urg! you annoying little-." the second thug shot his gun at Vandal,which deflect off of him."You guys are so lame! wonder why people are scared of you guys." he said and got into a fighting pose. The thugs backed up some,wondering what the hell was going on with Vandal."W-what is he?" the third thug said.
"I'm a gem man." Vandal said. His fist was than coated in an hard indigo color gem."Macho punch!." he than knocked out the thug with a blow to the face. Vandal smirked and folded his arms."Yeah,i', just that-" he started to say. He say that second thug aimed his gun and fired at Vandal. Vandal quickly turned his targeted body parts into gems."My turn. Ruby sharp shooter!." he said. Vandal held out his hand and fired sharp needle like ruby from his hand. The thug was shot in his chest and feel to the ground. He than faced the third thug and popped his knuckles."You want some to?" he said. The third thug backed up,sweating like a dog."No thanks,cause i'm outta here!." he said and fled. Vandal started to chuckle,than laugh."Alright! that was pretty interesting!." he said and turned to the kid. The kid backed up,holding the item in his hand."You helped me,thanks..but your nor stealing this bracelet form me!" he said. "Whoa,cool your jets kid,i'm going to steal anything." Vandal asked."My i ask..what kind of bracelet is that and why is it so important to you?" the kid than sighed."Let me tell you my first. It's Riley and this bracelet is for my professor in orange town. He says that its very rare." Riley said. "Really? how about i join you..as your bodyguard." Vandal suggested. Riley's eyes lid up."R-Really? oh! thats great! thanks uhhh..." he said. Vandal smiled and gave him a thumbs up."Vandal,nice to meet you. Follow me ok?" Vandal started to head for his home,with the young boy behind him.
"So Vandal..do you have any dreams?" Riley suddenly asked. Vandal nodded and said."Yep,i want to be a great pirate like my old man. I promised him i would become a good pirate like him and surpass him one day." he said. "Really? a pirate? that sounds like a good dream,but its kinda dangerous to one." he said."Thats the joy of it~ so anyways,do you have any dreams?" Vandal asked. Riley nodded."Yep,i want to become a the worlds greatest researcher one day,like the professor Crikin." he said. Vandal opened the door to his house and walked inside."Well that sounds good,i hope you do!." he said. Vandal saw that no one was around."I guess they are at work..." he said. Riley sat at an table and watched Vandal reach for a notebook on the table."Who are they?" Riley wondered." My uncle and aunt. I had to live them for all my life." Vandal started and begin to write on paper."Really..i know you said something about your dad being a pirate..what about your mom?" Riley asked. Vandal stopped writing for a second."Well..she died when i was born. Thats what my dad said." he kept writing. Riley placed his head on the table."O-Oh i'm very sorry..i shouldn't had brought that up." he said. Vandal laughed."No worries! it's fine man. Alright. Ya ready to go?" Vandal asked. Riley stood up from the table."Yes. What about your-" he started to say."I wrote them a note. Now lets go!"Vandal walked passed him and tapped him on the back,than walked out the door. Riley,with a big smile on his face,followed him
The two of them got on the fair size boat."Wow,you traveled far didn't ya?" Vandal asked. "Well, Orange town isn't very far from this island,but yeah." Riley said and started to row the boat."Well if you say so..Orange island,here we come~." Vandal said and laid back.
