Steve and Hiro walk towards the person cautiously. The person stopped right in front of them. It was a boy, he looked around the same age as Steve and Hiro. "What do you want?" Hiro asked. "You guys have to pay a fee." The boy said. "A fee for what?" Steve said. "A fee for traveling this road of course." the boy said. "Are you a bandit?" Hiro asked. "Yep, now you're going to hand over any valuables you have, how about that sword?" The bandit pointed towards Steve's Hellblade. Hiro and Steve looked at each other. "Hiro, let me have this. I need some practice." Steve said as he walked towards the bandit. Steve wasn't going to kill him, but he wanted to see how strong he was. "So, you're going to fight?" The bandit said as he took out his iron sword. Steve took out his Hellblade. "What's your name?" Steve asked. "You can just call me Rat." Rat said. Hiro watched from the side; he was interested to see how strong Steve had gotten. Steve and Rat stared at each other for a second then Steve dashed towards Rat, Rat did the same. They both clashed. Steve took his right hand off the sword and punched Rat in the face. Rat fumbled backwards. "That was cheap!" Rat said. "I'm not just a swordfighter." Steve said as he smiled. The Rat charged at Steve with a horizontal slash. Steve jumped in the air and kicked Rat in the face. Rat fell on his butt. Steve was far above this bandit; he didn't even have to use Hellblade. "Dammit! Why is everyone always stronger than me!" Rat said as he got up. "I just wanted to impress Snake." Rat wiped the blood off his mouth. Hiro stepped towards Rat. "Time to die." Hiro said as he took out his two sickles. "Wait Hiro! Don't kill him. I have some questions for him." Steve said.
