Chp 64: Next Stop, Oil Desert.
Hot Rod and Rock turned to see Rhine behind them. "Dang blasted Rhine!" cursed Rock, "Would you stop that!" "You know her?" asked Hot Rod. "Yes I do." said Rock, "Hot Rod, Meet Rhine Miràge." "Nice to meet a friend of Rock." said Rhine. "Like wise.." said Hot Rod, "As I was saying, When the last fighting tournament came to the area, The Badlands Bandit himself entered to prove that he was skilled enough to outlast any opponent that came his way. But it was a farce. The guy didn't stand any chance and he was beaten by almost every fighter. It was only when a so-called demon hunter came beat him that it was discovered that the village mayor had rigged his entery into the tournament." "My word!" ghasped Rhine. "Demon Hunter?" said Rock, "You don't mean Max's uncle, do you?" "That's who it was...I guess?" replied Hot Rod with an unsure tone, "The mayor's daughter force him to take care of the bandit after every match. When it had finished, she went with the bandit to see the crowning of the champion. However when he returned, she was gone." "What?!" cried Rock. "Did the bandit kill her?" asked Rhine. "No he didn't." said Hot Rod, "She came back almost a week later, but she seemed darker." "Darker.." said Rhine, "What was her name?" "You know that answer Rock." said Hot Rod, "We met her when we were with Jewels." "Wait What?!" jumped Rock, "You mean Jacky?! But I thought that was nothing more then a con from Chikanere!" Rhine remained quiet as Hot Rod said "When the bandit came back, he planted flowers near Brakwater Lake. What I believed happen is that when people saw Jacky passing through to Rustfang Village, it was Chikanere just posing as her!" "I just.." started Rock. "Um...Rock" said Rhine, "Do you not have a tournament to fight in?" "Right..." said Rock, "I want to make sure that I get to Oil Desert Zone in time." "I hear yea." said Hot Rod, "I'll get you back to town in a hurry." Then turning to Rhine, said "You need a lift?" "I wish to stay here for a bit." replied Rhine, "I'll make my way back later." "Fine." said Hot Rod grabbing Rock's hand, "Off we go!" Hot Rod raced towards Black Silver Station, dragging Rock behind him and getting there just as a bus arrived. "Ow..." grumbled Rock as he got back to his feet, "Next time I'll call a Cab." "See you around, Rock." said Hot Rod before Rock got onto the bus with Zappy darting in before the door closed.
