Jurgen and Fumiko are in a car with Bandit Cadaver. they are on their way to the H.C.P.D. with the criminal that took a few days for them to arrest. Jurgen asks to Bandit Cadaver if there is any type of music that he doesn't like. Bandit Cadaver tells him that he doesn't care much about music. Jurgen puts some music as he smiles looking at the bright moon.
Fumiko asks him if he has anything to do in the weekend and he tells her that he has a meeting with an 'acquaintance' of his. he never talks about his personal life with her even now that he confesses his feelings for her. he didn't dared to talk about anything personal with her. she keeps asking herself if he truly has feelings for her or if he doesn't think that she is worthy of knowing more about his life.
Fumiko looks at the dark sky. it starts to rain out of nowhere. Bandit Cadaver asks them if they have any food. he demands something to eat. he tells them that for their fault he didn't had anything for dinner and now he is really hungry. he keeps talking until Fumiko tells him to be quiet if he wants to have dinner.
Jurgen grabs his hot coffee and he drinks with a peaceful face. he drives feeling in a cloud with the combination of the soft, strong flavor and the hot temperature. he is drinking at this moment the perfect coffee. he sighs feeling relief. Fumiko is staring at him feeling jealous of that cup of coffee.
Bandit Cadaver feels like he is in the wrong place at the wrong time. he asks himself why are this cops behaving like two lovers from a sitcom. he looks down at the floor feeling sad for his last failure. two new spirits are sitting next to him and they whispered on the ears of the other spirits which leave the car. those two are moving slowly towards Bandit Cadaver.
"it is not over Sire. the one with the forbidden power took the experiment and he is disposed to finish what you started. the 'Seed' would be alive soon."
whispers one of the spirits on his ear.
"my lord, this is just the beginning of a world on your knees. soon some day you are going to be free."
whispers another spirit.
"then I can be anyone's prisoner with pleasure if my duty is being accomplish by someone of similar beliefs."
said Bandit Cadaver with teary eyes feeling joy.
they stop in a fast food place to buy their dinner then they went to the H.C.P.D. in which Bandit Cadaver was taken to his jail cell. Jurgen takes Fumiko to her home. she asks him if he wants to spend the rest of the night with her talking. he refuses telling her that he has things to do that are important. in front of Fumiko's home she thanks him and says goodbye. he leaves without even saying a single word.
later on the Bellucci Mansion...
Aristide Bellucci is on his bed reading the same book that he has been reading all the day. he is in the last chapter. he hears a strange noise and he knows who is the one who caused that noise. he keeps reading until he finishes the book. Aristide stands up and he walks to the hallway and in the same sofa of always he looks at Blind Thief sleeping.
it has been many years since the first time that he met him and ever since the first order that he gave him (which included killing someone) he has always done this after he is done with any job. every time Blind Thief comes to Aristide's home and he sleeps in the same sofa like a guarding dog. there are times in which Aristide feels sorry for him.
Blind Thief opens his eyes and he pulls Aristide's arm. he talks to him half asleep. Blind Thief is like a wounded animal in search of his owner. Blind Thief is that kind of animal that was born savage but was domesticated and lose his fangs. only those who do wrong to his owner are able to meet his former self. the savage side that he left behind in order to be domesticated.
"you are no longer a little kid. behave or what are the others going to think of you."
"I don't care my loyalty is the only thing that matters. nobody is more important than my boss and only his opinion is important to me."
"you are becoming an old dog. watch your tongue if you want to live longer."
"boss you are commander of my actions and if you order me to die then I would die with a smile on my face knowing that it was for your own satisfaction and happiness."
"what I have done to be the boss of a buffoon. stop talking stupid."
"but sir, I don't talk stupid, I talk loyal."
Aristide laughs as hard as possible and he cleans some tears from his eyes. he keeps laughing until he feels pain on his stomach. Aristide is about to die of laughter. he goes to the kitchen for something to drink. one of his employees asks him why is that he keeps Blind Thief alive when he doesn't show respect.
Aristide tells him that Blind Thief is an idiot who is more loyal to him than anyone would ever be. he has never met anyone more loyal than that idiot. Aristide drinks some water and he takes a glass of water for Blind Thief. he is thinking about that day in which he met Blind Thief for the first time. he is like a brother to him.
Aristide leaves the glass of water close to the sofa and he goes back to his room. he is so tired right now that he could fall on the floor at any moment.
at the moment on the bar of a luxurious Hotel.....
Mr. Blue-Ribbon sits on a corner drinking a glass of water. he doesn't drink liquor because it is bad for the skin and he takes care of his skin. Mr. Blue-Ribbon looks at Don Gratiano Bellucci who walks in front of a group of man in suit drinking. Don Gratiano talks to them in Italian. then he gets a pistol out and he shoots at them killing them.
Don Gratiano walks towards Mr. Blue-Ribbon and he sits in the same table. Don Gratiano asks for red wine. he tells to Mr. Blue-Ribbon that he loves sweet drinks. Don Gratiano is not stupid and he knows that Mr Blue-Ribbon works for Brandon Ice. he also knows what kind of killer he is. for the moment Don Gratiano is only trying to understand him to know if he is going to be a problem in the future or if he is not.
Don Gratiano tells him that he can drink some liquor. Don Gratiano offers to pay for his drinks. Mr Blue-Ribbon makes it clear that he hates liquor and that he is fine with another glass of water. Don Gratiano is happy with the answer of that man.
"what you did to those guys on that dark alley was majestic. there is no doubt that you are a talented young man on your area of skills. I didn't came in here to warn you nor scare you. I only wanted to welcome you in this warm and bright city."
"thanks Mr. Bellucci I am grateful to be welcome by a figure like yourself."
"just one little favor I may ask. try to not leave that many dead bodies on my territory or you are going to drag the cops towards us."
"sorry Mr. Bellucci I know that was unclean and messy."
Mr Blue-Ribbon might be a cold blooded killer who only cares about his 'hunting' but unlike other killers he is a man who shows respect to those of power on the criminal world. he knows that a man like Don Gratiano fought without powers and he won many fights. he admires more than anything those who are capable of fighting without physical power.
Mr Blue-Ribbon wanted to meet Don Gratiano Bellucci since he was younger. to put it into understandable words Don Gratiano is a role model to Mr Blue-Ribbon and his admiration for him was one of the reasons why he wanted to visit Heroic City.
"I like youngsters like yourself. a boy who knows how to pay respect to those that came before him is a boy who can grow on this line of business."
"thanks. I am thankful for your kind words Mr. Bellucci. I wish that my visit was less professional. with all honesty I am trying to stay away of your sight to not bring any kind of problems."
"don't worry that is normal. I wouldn't be the biggest mafioso on this city if I didn't had enemies or problems."
later on Arturo's home.....
Arturo is looking at a picture of Fumiko and him when they were kids. he sighs thinking in the opportunity that was taken from his hands to be happy at her side. there are many untold things about the truth that was hidden so many years ago. there are words that were never told, not even to him.
Arturo sits on a sofa and he closes his eyes imagining that Fumiko is at his side holding his left hand. a tear falls from his eyes. he is about to drink like he use to do on his days of loneliness to forget why is that he is feeling so much pain on his chest. he wants to drink until he disappears but the sad thing is that the effect of the liquor isn't eternal but something of a few moments.
someone knocks on the door and Arturo stands up thinking that maybe is Fumiko who has finally fall in love with his charms. Arturo opens the door and all his happiness is gone after seen the face of Akio Miyagawa (the younger brother of Daisuke and also the black sheep on his family) Akio enters looking at the house with curiosity. he calls someone and the rest of his band enters inside of the house (they are a band of seven. five dudes and two females.)
"what the fuck dude?"
"bro language. the band members and I. we don't believe in verbal violence."
"what I do with my fist isn't verbal, but oral."
"bro come on, is me Akio or how you call me Akito. Akitito dude the little brother you never had."
"fuck, why is that every time that you have money problems you come to me like a bloodsucking vampire. last time you left me dry on money with your eating habits."
"come on man, no love for your young sibling that you haven't seen in a long time? man I kept your secrets and I was even your sidekick back in the days."
"I guess you are what Heroes have in mind when they say no rest for the wicked."
"don't be like that bro, come on you sound like a grandpa... so can I stay on your place?"
"you pay for your things and the things of your pals. no more borrowing cash that your invisible wallet won't pay for."
"okay bro. so how is other bro?"
Arturo is looking at him with so much anger reflected on his face. he feels offended to think that he allows that younger guy to treat him like a hotel when he doesn't even communicate with his own brother. in all the days that he has known him, Akio barely calls Daisuke but somehow he is always finding ways to communicate with him. Arturo might be okay with it if wasn't for the detail that Akio is always asking for money or a place to sleep.
Arturo goes back to his sofa thinking in why is that Akio has so little respect for him when he has always been an exemplary Villain. he can't comprehend what he did wrong to deserve be treated like that.
Akio takes his teammates to their rooms (the house in which Arturo lives is a big house. he has the habit of buying big houses since his days as the leader of a big group of Villains and sometimes that is convenient when someone visits him) Arturo sleeps on the sofa for a moment.
at the moment on a secret lab that belongs to a criminal organization....
Professor Barnett Villan is sitting in a red chair drinking hot lemonade (he likes to drink hot lemonade with zero sugar) he is looking at some documents that Bandit Cadaver left about his investigation while working on his project to bring the dead back to life. the information at his hands is important to him because he has been working in a similar project for a while.
an employee walks towards him and he tells him about something interesting that they found about the work that Bandit Cadaver was doing. Professor Barnett Villan tells him that he is aware that he was trying to bring the dead back to life and the employee tells him that he was wrong about that detail.
"he didn't wanted to create soulless zombies like yourself intended. after looking carefully at the corpse in which he was working and the documents that we found. my colleagues and I, we found something interesting. he was trying to put many souls inside of a single body to give it life and a conscience of its own. he wasn't just building a mindless slave but he was giving a mind of its own to it."
said the scientific.
"wow. I creature with a mind and many souls. that is something I actually want to finish to see it for myself."
Professor Barnett Villan stands up. he looks at his cup before putting it down. he asks the employee to take him in front of the corpse to see it for himself 'the work of an actual madman.'
