I DON'T OWN THE WARRIORS OR THE DIALOGUE

After the Baseball Furies officially allied themselves with the Lizzies, they started to get more of a rep on the streets. After their battle with the Electric Eliminators, the other sets near Riverside didn't dare come in to the Furies turf. The stories about these silent warriors in face paint were scaring a lot of small time sets. Thurman knew that in order to build a solid rep, they would need a lot more victories. Thurman, Cobb, and the other Furies were discussing this on a warm April night.

"We don't have that big a rep yet." Thurman said. "We need to show off our muscle."

"Come on man. We stuck it to the Electric Eliminators and teamed up with the Lizzie's. How much more do we need?" BJ asked.

"You think that one victory gains you a serious rep?" Cobb asked, staring at him. "Thurman's right, we're not where we need to be. Not by a long shot."

"Ain't that the truth. We're like the Orphans. Those lameos think they beefing, but they're all talk and no bop." Zack added.

"What we need is to get on the Riff's radar." Thurman said. Cobb nodded.

"He's right. The Gramercy Riffs are the biggest gang in the city. Cyrus is the one and only. If we were to gain his notice, all these other mothers would think twice before armying through our territory." He added. As the Furies agreed to this plan, the lights in the club house went out.

"Shit man, a blackout." Darien said. All of the sudden, the Furies began to hear noises of glass breaking and fires starting.

"It's a full scale riot." Thurman said.

"What do we do Thurman?" Cobb asked.

"We gotta keep the field under control. The Electric Eliminators might see this as a chance to get some payback on us." The Furies soldiered up and watch over the field. For the most part, the violence was kept in the streets. BJ was swinging a bat when he saw 3 Rogues sneaking through the field with a can of spray paint. Bj whistled as the Furies ran towards the Rogues. Their leader, Luther was the first to see them.

"Screw you losers, i'm Outta here." Luther said as he ran off, abandoning his fellow Rogues.

"Luther, come back." Patches said as the Furies surrounded him and Tommy. "Please, we ain't doing nothing. Just relax..." Thurman gave the signal and the Furies began beating them with their bats. The 2 Rogues screamed for about 5 minutes until they went silent. Cobb turned away from the stiffs when he saw 3 Warriors watching them. He tapped Thurman on the shoulder and all the Furies turned to them.

"Who the Hell are these dudes?" One of them asked.

"I don't wanna find out." the other said.

"I say we take off." The third said as they began running with Thurman and the other Furies in hot pursuit. They lost them at the train station.

"Man, I can't believe they got away." Zack said.

"Who cares." BJ countered. "We totally wasted some Rogues." The power eventually came back on as they all headed back to their clubhouse and turned on the radio.

"Tonight, I got some good news for you boppers. The alliance between the Seracens and the Jones Street Boys is still going strong. In a Riverside, there was huge blackout and there were quite a few 5 finger discounts before the fuzz ended the sale. I have a message for the Baseball Furies from Cyrus. He'd like the Furies to be more lenient on boppers trying to get home."

"Screw that man." Zack said. "If someone passes through our turf, they're getting wrecked."

"It comes from Cyrus, we can't ignore a request from the Gramercy Riffs. Not if we want a rep." Cobb said.

"He's right, unless they start something, go easy on boppers going through our turf, at least for right now." Thurman said.
