The streets of Costa Brava tremble as Friezatron and Kakarot Prime continue their legendary duel, trading massive blows and shooting big lasers at each other.
"I thought I exterminated all of the Autobots, you pest!" Friezatron whines, shooting a bunch of small energy blasts at Kakarot Prime.
"Well, looks like you missed one, huh? Which means it's up to me to get revenge!" Kakarot Prime responds, swatting every single incoming projectile out of the air.
Down on the ground below, on a side street out of the way of this fight, the Beta Creightons have assembled together to torment a small bat-like creature known as Uzeris, or Uzi for short.
"Buzz off! I stole that thing fair and square!" Uzi complains in a squeaky voice, watching as the Creightons toss around somebody else's wallet between themselves. Despite her own high speed and agility, she just doesn't have the reach to catch up with it whenever the Creightons toss it around. "You know what? FINE! Keep it! Like I care."
Uzi pouts and flies away, while the Creightons point and laugh. Uzi mutters angrily to herself as she flies over Costa Brava, but suddenly, something on the ground catches her eye. A broken down computer, with some silly robot legs sticking out behind it, lying on the ground as though it fell face-first into the concrete. Uzi goes down to examine the pile of scrap, and though the computer itself is completely broken, the stabbing implement embedded into its back is still right where it was left. Uzi grabs hold of the hilt of the Multima Cutter, unsheathing the weapon and allowing for it to glint brightly in the sunlight. Upon bearing witness to the legendary multiblade, a mischievous grin crosses Uzi's face, and she carries the weapon through the air as she scours the streets for the whereabouts of the Beta Creightons. Uzi spots the Creightons walking in a disorderly fashion down the road, and without warning, she swoops down towards them, sweeping through the entire procession with one slice. The Creightons all stare blankly at Uzi, before a tidal wave of blood gushes out of their bodies and they slide apart and fall to the ground with a series of wet thuds.
"So, what am I doing, exactly?" Leaky-Eye Lucas asks into an earpiece, wiping his teary eye.
"You go to the address I told you, you go inside, you find Rookie Swangler, and you kill him." Cybr responds from the other end, speaking bluntly. Lucas, like many others, owed Cybr a favor, and Cybr chose to call on him now to try and deal with Rookie so that he can more safely go after Fedman in the future.
Lucas walks up to a large house and knocks on the door, and the door creaks open, as a man named Sir Vyvil X. Purt answers it.
"Um, I came here looking for Rookie Swangler, are you him?" Lucas says, and Vyvil raises an eyebrow, before laughing.
"Oh, I thought you were one of my fans. Sure, you can go hang out with Rookie, always good to know he's making more friends outside of his gang. I think he's in his room in the basement right now."
"Alright, good to know." Lucas walks past Vyvil, dragging his giant shovel behind him, and Vyvil nods and gives him a thumbs up as Lucas heads over to the basement stairs. Lucas goes downstairs, and is surprised to find a vast space down there, which appears to be some sort of robotics laboratory on one side of the room, while the other side is adorned with numerous racks holding all sorts of katanas, along with other miscellany. At the other end of the room, a door is ajar, and Lucas approaches it, picking up the shovel with both hands so that it doesn't scrape on the ground and make noise. Lucas sneaks into the room, and sees who he assumes must be Rookie sitting at his computer. Lucas walks up behind Rookie, and swings his shovel at him, cleaving his head in two. Lucas lets out a sigh of relief, but when he turns around, Rookie is standing right there.
"Heh, you really thought you were slick, huh? I always keep a decoy around for this exact reason." Rookie says, and Lucas looks back at the body he attacked, realizing that it's actually a cardboard box with a watermelon on top and a sweatshirt draped over it. "So, who sent you? Or are you just a hater?"
"Alright, alright, I'll talk! It's a hacker named Cybr, he put me up to this! He said if I didn't listen, he'd leak all my personal documents!" Lucas bawls, and Rookie puts his hand on his chin.
"You know what? I feel for ya. Come on, I'll let you pretend you beat me. Get a clean shot, and I'll drop." Rookie says, before standing back and holding his arms out. Lucas gulps, and picks his shovel up, before running towards Rookie. As he tries to swing, though, the shovel slips through his sweaty hands, so he misses. Lucas tries again, and this time, he loses his grip on the shovel altogether, and it falls to the ground. When Lucas tries to pick up the shovel, he accidentally steps on it, and manages to break it in half. Panicking, Lucas grabs the spade end of the shovel, and charges straight towards Rookie. Just before Lucas reaches him, Rookie grabs hold of his two swords and brings them down from both sides, slashing through Lucas entirely in an 'x' shape. Lucas falls to the ground, blood pooling around him.
"Looks like someone…had a bad day." Rookie snickers, as his Stand, Bad Day, hovers behind him.
"Well…this may pose a problem." Cybr mumbles to himself, watching this encounter through Hidden in the Sand.
