"Holy Hyper-cow! You're on every site in the underworld!" Tony, Bop's Gorgrog friend gasped when he saw Bop entering the Mussolini Orphanage.
"What? Let me see" Bop borrowed Tony's tablet. Even though Bop was born with an incomplete vocabulary about ideologies and abstract reasoning, Bop was armed with complete knowledge of modern gadgets for some unknown reason...
"Ohh, Gahahaha, they've started to call me the mysterious "Janitor" vigilante who wipes clean the evil gangsters in the area. It says here I even beat the Orochi gang?... I thought they were called the T.H.U.G.S? Oh well, and here I thought I was about to become a criminal!" Bop sighed as he thought he was suddenly off the hook for his past crimes. [I guess good things happen to nice people, after all, maybe letting those Thugs or Orochi go was a good idea, huh] Bop mistook the three idiots he met for the notorious Orochi.
"Awe... Were no longer criminals?" Beep sadly sighed.
While Policeman Bob sighed: "Well at least I no longer have to capture you"
"No, keep reading" Tony pointed to the next page button on the screen.
"HyperCouncil Senator Taran has ordered a bounty on the mysterious fugitive's head, stating that Vigilante Justice is against HPG law and protocol! What?! I just saved those people! Why is this Taran guy putting a bounty on my head!" Bop angrily gruffed.
"Well, it can't be helped now, can it? Ya see Marcus is the only one that can challenge Taran's popularity in the current voting polls. Now that you've just put down the Orochi who've been connivin' with Taran. It looks like he's been dealt a major blow ta his popularity" Tony smiled as if Karma he had long-awaited.
"Taran experiences public backlash due to criminalizing the mysterious vigilante responsible for putting down the Orochi a gang who had known previous ties with the Senator. Kukuku, take that ya evil corrupt bastard!" Bop felt happy he at least hurt Taran's popularity.
"Now get ya wise-ass in there. The Boss said he wanted to speak to ya" Tony hurriedly told Bop to enter Mussolini's room where Meiyu and her old grandfather Wang were already talking with Mussolini.
"Wang Xiaolong, can't ya help us get more weapons, we're gonna need it if we're goin' against all of the Orochi! Please..." Mussolini pleaded in front of Chung.
"Huh... Sadly no matter how much Higs you throw at me. I simply cannot..." Chung denied Mussolini's plea.
"You know my and Meili's situation, it is too dangerous to alert the Shenlong of our presence. I can only smuggle this much weaponry..." Chung sighed.
*Clank*
"I mean NOODLES! Yes, traditional and ancient recipe passed on from family-" Bop scared Chung when he suddenly opened the door.
"Ah! It's just you! The white idiot! Don't scare me like that! Weren't you taught manners?!" Chung became angry due to Bop's interruption.
Meiyu just blushed when she saw her grandfather's embarrassing display...
"Oh, old man noodles! Why're you here?" Bop asked.
"Ah Bop, the great vigilante fugitive that saved the day! Come in come in" Mussolini happily invited Bop to sit.
"DUCIO! You're friend here!" Mussolini shouted as a series of bang and clunks rang down the stairs.
"Oh sorry pops, I was busy upstairs" A large and muscularly toned Gorgrog came down from a staircase connected to Mussolini's office holding a bonsai plant on his hands.
"Argh, you still wastin' your time with those plants, boy?" Mussolini sighed as he saw Ducio holding the plants.
"Pops! Not in front of my friends! Sheesh" Ducio felt embarrassed that his father began lecturing him in front of Bop.
"Bop! You're back! Buddy!" Ducio suddenly gave bop a tight hug which made Bop very uncomfortable...
[Atleast make it a cute girl, at least!" Bop sighed as he was crushed by the firm and sweaty muscles.
"Where's the crazy bot?" Ducio asked.
"Ah, he's outside" Bop explained.
"Aight, I'll go meet the bugger outside Hahaha, maybe he can show our boys his moves Gahaha... thanks again for helping me out" Ducio patted Bop on the shoulder as he left the room. Ducio liked Bop, at first he thought Bop was just another idiot like him, but his respect soared through the roof when Bop got them out, incapacitated the Lazy and corrupt police that locked him up for no good reason other than looking suspicious and being a Gorgrog, and finally for Bop's almost legendary feat of hacking every HyperCop in the station.
"Hah, sheesh, forgive my son. He's still a bit immature" Mussolini sighed as Ducio left.
"Y-Yeah sure..." Bop replied.
"Ok, down to business... I heard you're situation from Marcus. He tells me you're an escaped clone trying to escape this shithole by getting a ship of your own eh? Real adventurous of ya... Well here's how I see how things are gonna go down. Me and the boys are gonna help you smuggle your ship inside one of the HyperTrains but we need Marcus' mayor status to pull off something that crazy. So what we need to do right now is to put down most of the Orochi scum currently controlling most of the City. With that, they cant force votes no longer. And Kabam! We basically already have the support of the people by our side. If no other interruptions are made..." Mussolini explained to Bop the current political situation of the HyperCity 53.
"Eh? You won't just give me a ship? Why do we still need to board a HyperTrain? And why do gangsters control votes? Shouldn't the Police be putting them down?" Bop was puzzled by Mussolini's sudden reveal.
"Huh... Well, I guess it can't be helped since Marcus told me ya lived on a HyperTrain before stoppin' here at 53.
Here's a short explanation. Cities in the Un-urbanized or Rural Sectors of the HPG have, shall we say, a pretty incompetent Judicial System.
This is why those gangs can control votes in these types of areas. "Rural Sectors" as they call us, like where 53 is located at, don't get as much attention as the other HyperCities. Especially since 53 is still pretty new. In fact, it's even the newest HyperCity around, this place was still called HyperColony #9857 not too long ago. It should've been upgraded to a normal City first, but the HPG higher-ups somehow thought it would be a good idea to make an unknown random City into this sector's Capital, or a HyperCity, jus' cause it's in the middle of the sector. Ha! Talk about stupid, am I right?
Well, I guess it isn't too bad, thanks to 53's new HyperCity status, Large HyperTrains like the Zelda X8 pass through here. Hey, can't deny the benefits of fast development am I right?
Hence the small HyperCity of 53 was born and also why small minor gangs like the Orochi could come in and take its territories. But it won't be long though as the larger and more dangerous Syndicates have already set their eyes on our little town... Taran and the other Senators running for the HyperCity Mayor Elections probably already have connections to these big gangs, this is why Marcus is our only hope if we wanna keep those disgusting Gangstas off our clean streets! Ya hear me?"
Mussolini stared at Bop with intense passion as he talked about keeping the Syndicates and Gangs out.
As he heard the important background of the City he was at, Bop had only one thought on his mind...
[A-Aren't you also part of those Gangs?!]
