RW Fanfic: Mob Fic (Nine Seals) Part Seven

Part Seven

Cye and Kento met up with Rowen, who was leaning against the wall of the building, looking rather pale. Cye and Kento were quiet as they headed back to the bar. Rowen slipped away as they left their coats with Sage.

Yuli looked at them expectantly. Cye opened his mouth to speak and paused as the singer began ‘Land of Confusion[1]’. Cye turned to look at him. He pondered.

’ve seen ‘im before.... The audience leaned forward, expectant of an important revelation. Oh, ‘e was ‘ere last time! The audience smacked the author for that one. The author said ouch and went back to writing. “The problem is more serious that we thought,” Kento began. “Talpa is using the money to buy himself a body, so he can take over the world.”

Yuli frowned. “Does this mean you didn’t break his legs?”

“ ‘e doesn’t ‘ave legs, ‘e’s a floating ‘ead,” Cye muttered.

“Oh, whatever.”

“No. This is more important than that. We have to inform the authorities, and get help,” Kento said. Yuli barked out a laugh, sounding like one of those evil yip dogs.

“You are crazier than your partner, Kento. We are criminals. We do not inform the authorities, which will get us arrested. We will take care of it. You will take care of it.” Yuli waved imperiously. “You will go and not return to me until it is done.”

Kento’s face was set in a hard, angry expression. He stood slowly. Cye stood with him, and they both departed, equally oblivious to the anxious look that Rowen was giving them.

The bosses ain’t gonna like this one...

Talpa floated in front of his desk, looking properly mobster-like, even though he is merely a bookie, because according to one of the gods’ mother, mob bosses do not owe each other money, so he had to be a bookie.[2]

In front of him stood his own muscle, Kale and Sekmet. Anubis lounged on the desk. Anubis was reading through a list of located parts, and their site of construction. Talpa required feet, legs, torso, arms, hands and neck. Each was constructed at a different site, and each would cost hefty amounts of money, assuming they couldn’t just steal them.

Talpa’s main problem was finding out how to power the body after it was done. The texts he’d discovered spoke vaguely of a power source contained within nine seals. Talpa had with him four of those seals, but they would be useless without the other five. So, that was another thing he had to look for.

“Talpa-sama, it looks like the site with the legs will be done first,” Anubis said, holding up the list. Talpa smiled, a strange, freaky thing to see because after all, he is a mask.

“Excellent. Tokyo, is it? We will head their immediately. Soon, very soon, I will have all the power I need...”

Talpa let out another evil laugh, this one being the obvious result of channelling Darth Vader. Kale, Sekmet and Anubis shuddered. This guy is just getting freakier and freakier...
