January 5, 1975
Staunton Island, Liberty City
4:23 P.M.
An engine revs and tires screech against asphalt. A car spins around and comes to a stop in the middle of a deserted street. Two people emerge from a Yakuza Stinger and stand there. They look left and right, scanning down the road for any more cars. The street was completely empty. All of a sudden two more cars turn a corner and sped along the road. The two Yakuza were wearing red and white striped undershirts and a cerulean colored dress coat. Red ties flapped in the wind as the two walk across the street. The suns rays refract off their black leather shoes each step they took. As they walk further from their car, two Stingers slam on brakes and stop alongside theirs.
More Yakuza step from the cars, each of them wearing the exact same thing. A red and white striped undershirt with a red tie, cerulean colored dress coat and pants, and leather shoes. They also each wore dark red sunglasses. Each of them also had their black hair slicked back. Their most distinguishing feature was each of them were missing one of their pinkies.
The one furthest across the street reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out what looks like a silver automatic pistol. He keeps on pulling it out and when he finally gets it out, it is a .475 Wildey Magnum. Not just a gun, a damn hand cannon. It had a Silhouette 18" long barrel. The thing even had a wooden forearm stock. It easily could be mistaken as a combat shotgun. It had the perfect ability to blow a hole in someone wide enough to see through. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a clip filled with six bullets. He puts in into the handle and it clicks. After that he pulls the slide backwards and a bullet is injected into the chamber.
He then struts forwards ready for anything. In all, twelve people walk towards a jewelry store, obviously there destination. Some of them were laughing and talking among each other. Others were quiet and content on what they were about to do. A banner in front of them said Naruza's Jewelry Grand Opening.
"Hey! Jin! Watashi o matsu!"
The guy nearest to the shop stops and waits for the guy behind him. After the other guy caught up to him it was easy to tell that they were both very different. One was about 6' 2, pretty tall for a Jap, while the other seemed like a shrunken form of him. Jin Rakai looked about the same as he did in present day. He still had a short scar over his eye and had slightly slanted eyes and bright brown iris's. He looked pretty built and had a big tattoo across his gun wielding hand, it wasa biohazard symbol,a definite insignia of the Nakura gang. On his neck there was a cross with a dragon circling around it, another sign ofgang involvement. This was a symbol only the most trusted of the Yakuza had. The boss of Liberty City at the time, Jonny Nakura, had liked Jin so much he had appointed him his personal bodyguard. He also was appointed his own team, which he trained. Called the Death Squad, this Yakuza hit team was a force to be reckoned with in Liberty. Jin lifted his eyes from the cold pavement beneath him to the shop in front of him.
It looked like nothing was going on inside.
It looked like an ordinary jewelry shop.
However, Jin knew it was a rivaling syndicate's meeting place. He knew right now there was a meeting going on in the top floor of the two-story building. Jin then remembered what Jonny had said to him, Those bastards must pay, nobody screws with the Nakura and get away with it. I want you, Jin to lead them in this. It is your job to make sure this turns out okay.
Jin got caught up in the moment and even did the little Nakura closing salute, a right arm beat to the chest.
Several feet ahead of them, inside the tinted windowed store were several armed people.
All of them had their pistols raised and aimed for anyone who walked through the shop door. All of them were clad in red and white jackets. Someone runs down the stairs in the side of the building. He stops at the last step and yells, "Hey they are coming, get ready!"
The ambushers ready themselves and sink down onto the floor. They were out-of-view for anyone who was at the doorway and a little ways inside. Two of them were up against the
stairway ready to surround them. Jin opens the door and looks around, gun raised.
Someone behind him speaks up and breaks the silence.
"Hey, you see anything Jin?" He calls.
Jin looks left and right, seeing nothing. He then walks forwards and enters the seemingly
empty store.
"Come on in Takawa, I don't see anything."
The two enter and are followed by four or five others. Soon all of them were inside the
store. Jin puts the gun to the side and looks around again. The two people on the stairs sneaked down it and went behind them. They raise their shotguns and pump them, sliding a shell into each barrel.
Jin freezes as he hears all around them sounds of guns cocking. He and pretty much
everyone turn around and see at least ten armed men standing there, all with shotguns and pistols
trained right at them.
"Ambush!"Yells one of them.
Dozens of shots echo around the room and everyone screams. Two of the Yakuza drop to their knees and fall forwards, their arms and half of their body full of holes. The ambushers reload and get ready for another shooting. Jin and all the others split up, jumping across the room in opposite directions; the shots ring out and bullets smack the wall all around them. Takawa stands up from behind the counter and aims at the nearest guy. He fires and the huge bullet hurtles towards the guy, who just stood there, not having enough time to even put up his hands to block it. The bullet slams into his gut and goes out through his spinal cord, shattering the glass behind him. He looks downwards and screams as loud as he could. He coughs up pieces of his inside and blood, then falls forwards onto the floor..
The ambushers see Takawa and focus on him. He jumps behind a table as they fire their
pistols at him. The shells and bullets go straight through the middle jewelry display. An unlucky Yakuza standing beside it is hit and he tumbles backwards, falling on a showcase of necklaces. Jin aims from under the table at two people running down the stairs. He fires and one of them falls backwards and rolls down. He comes to a stop against an overturned
chair.
Another Yakuza gets hit in the cheek by a SMG bullet. Teeth and blood spurts upwards, spattering the ceiling. He spins around and overturns a table, slinging gold charms everywhere. Two men arrive from the back room and fire upon two Yakuzas running for the door. One is hit in the back while running, so he falls forwards and slides across the tiled floor. The other turns around and brings out his Wildey Magnum. He fires and one of the assailants falls forwards, blood squirting from his chest. The other pumps his shotgun and fires. The pellets soar into the Yakuza and he is sent several feet backwards, falling against the door.
A Yakuza stands up from his hiding place and stupidly runs forwards straight towards two gunmen. They look at each other and then both shoot him square in the chest. He falls onto the counter and slides along it until the cash register stops him. A stream of crimson blood spills onto Takawa's hair as he puts a new clip in his Wildey. He stands up and shoots at the nearest gunmen. The first bullet grazes one in the shoulder, the second goes right through his head. He tilts backwards and slides along the wall, leaving a trail. The guy beside him looks as his friend slides along the wall, when a bullet catches him in the stomach.
He hits the wall and bounces forwards. Two Yakuza stand up from behind the counter and manage to gun down four ambushers on the stairs. They then make a break for the door. Several others arrive from the stairs and fire their submachine guns downwards. The one in the back is hit and the other, who was blocked by him gets to the door. The guy is about open the door when a hail of bullets slam into his side. He screams and falls sideways. He reaches towards Jin who was not too far away; Jin reaches towards him about to pull him away, when another bullet hits the guy in the head. His hand falls and he lies flat on the welcome mat.
Takawa rolls and dodges five or six bullets. He gets to where Jin and another guy is.
"Hey, we gotta get the fuck outta here!" Screams Takawa.
"No shit!" Yells Jubei, the guy beside Jin.
"We are the only ones left, we gotta find someway out!" Yells Jin as shots rang out.
"Fuck this!"
Jubei stands up and runs forwards firing his pistol. He screams a war cry and fires at
another ambusher, who catches the bullet in the shoulder. Several more of the red and white jacketed people arrive from upstairs and fire at Jubei. He is hit in the side and screams in agony. He reacts and raises his Wildey. He fires twice, killing two of them. After a third shot, his gun clicks. His expression then totally changes, from anger to 'oh shit I'm gonna die'. He looks down at his gun and pulls the trigger again. The two gunmen on the stairs don't even hesitate, they fire downwards at the dumbfounded target. Jubei is hit and he falls backwards, breaking a table.
"Come on, it's now or never!" Yells Jin.
He stands up and fires his Wildey. The guy on the left screams as the bullet hits his head and it just explodes, showering the guy beside him with bits of skull and brain. Jin fires again and the other guy falls forwards rolling down the stairs. Takawa puts yet another clip in his gun, pulls the hammer back, and fires at another horde of gunmen coming from upstairs. He backs up against the window and stops. He raises his gun to fire, but it clicks and the slide shoots backwards. Takawa closes his eyes and puts his hands on his head.
He knew he was going to die.
These guys weren't about to take a prisoner.
Shots rings out in the small room, Takawa makes a gurgled scream, and falls backwards through the tinted window. Jin runs forwards past all the gun fire. The gunmen on the stairs follow him with their guns and fire. Jin arrives at the entrance and doesn't even stop. He jumps through the window and smacks against the sidewalk. He quickly rises and limps across the street.
He gets to the car and jumps into the passenger seat. He slams the door and slides to the driver seat, then cranks it up. He moves the gear up to drive and guns it. The Yakuza Stinger speeds down the street passing a stop sign. A black car comes from nowhere and pursues him. Jin slams his foot down and presses the pedal to the floor. The car still manages to catch up. A guy in the backseat shoots through the window.
Jin turns the car and rams into the black Kuruma. The gunman rights himself and fires.
The bullet tears through the Stinger's window and it hits Jin in the shoulder. Just as the car
arrived at a bridge, the car veers to the left and hits an impound. The Stinger's front end goes
over the bridge railing and the back starts to tilt sideways. Jin makes a desperate jump to his right, trying to open the passenger side door. Right when he finally opens the door, the car topples over the bridge and plummets down into the bay. Two people get out and look down the long fall to the water and watch as the car sinks to the ocean floor.
Let's see... Oh yeah, this is going to be my rotation of my work, two chapters of present time and one chapter of a characters past. Sort of like the show Lost. You know, how they tell about the character's before they were stranded. Any who, I hope you liked this chapter.
