A New Antagonist

The robber fired several shots at The Pirate, ready to put down what he felt was an annoying road block to his bank heist. The Pirate answered by swinging his sword and blocking each bullet, sending them harmlessly falling onto the pristine floor.

"Impossible! How did you do that?" The robber asked in shock.

"Trade secret." The Pirate replied triumphantly. "Did you want to give this one more shot?"

The robber hollered angrily and charged at The Pirate. The Pirate greeted the robber's approach with an uppercut to the chin, knocking him to the floor. The robber laid unconscious, his bottom half sticking up. The Pirate looked at Janet, whose jaw had dropped to the floor from this whole scene.

"He shouldn't be waking up anytime soon." The Pirate said reassuringly. "That was a nice grocery bag he was using to hold the stolen funds - if I were you I would keep that. Otherwise, I suggest calling the Police to get him out of your hair."

"Thank you so much!" A relieved Janet replied. "You are so amazing!"

"No worries, happy to be of service." The Pirate responded. With a successful rescue under his belt, he was getting ready to walk out the door, until a green parrot flew in and landed on his shoulder.

"Well hello there friend." The Pirate said, laughing at his unexpected visitor. "Guess a buddy like you completes the whole pirate motif, yes?"

Before The Pirate could marvel further at this development, the parrot revealed razor sharp teeth and bit into The Pirate's shoulder. The Pirate fell to the floor in pain as the parrot flew away, laughing over his apparent victory.

"Are you ok Pirate?" Janet asked in a worried tone. "Pirate? Pirate?"
