A dark alley. A lone man walks it, stumbling drunkenly. The moon wanes in the sky, barely lighting the streets.
And suddenly, the man is no longer alone as the alley comes alive. Five men step out of the shadows, one standing impossibly straight. "Well, well. Whadda we have here? You're trespassing on our turf, man."
The lone man hiccuped. "Nooo..." He moaned. "I'ma just passing thru...can't ah just go ohn?"
"Nope, nope, nope." The man shook his head, adjusting the superfluous shades he wore. "See, what we's got here is called lawbreaking and all that jazz." He nodded to the shortest of his group, he flicked open a switchblade. "And we can't just lawbreakers go just about willy-nilly. That would inspire all sorts of anarchy." He placed his arm on the drunkards shoulders. "But you sir, are in quite a bit of luck. You see, I'm feeling generous today. Alls ya gotta do is pay somewhat of a fine."
"But...I dun't have no moneys." The drunk said, trying to get away.
The short man walked over to be in front of the drunk. "That there is a shame, meester."
"Yes, it is quite the shame." A garbage can lid smashed into the face of a lanky member of the gang.
"Qué?" The short man got out right before the ricocheting projectile knocked him to the ground. His compatriot in rags soon joined him in unconsciousness as the rest of the trash can came flying through the air.
The leader, letting go of his victim, started to make a break for the alley entrance. "Big Billy, let's get outta here."
A...figure appeared before them at the mouth of the alley. "No, leaving of your own will is not how you will exit this place of darkness." He slugged Billy in the stomach, sending him crashing into a wall.
The leader turned and ran for the other end of the alley.
The figure wasted no time dashing forward on all fours, grabbing the trash can lid and turning into a spin and launching it at the leader's head.
And then he was gone. The drunk had barely been able to follow what was going on and pissed himself as he realized before stumbling out of the alley in a stupor.
