Chapter Eleven
Drug Den Skirmish
In the Drugs Den, the Junkies and Dealers huddled together in fear as Samson, Rex and Diablo surrounded them.
Because of how high they were on the drugs, they still had no idea if what they were seeing was real or not, and they were too scared to move.
Diablo smirked as he looked amongst them then saw a box of matches.
"I think I know how to keep you in one place." he smirked, then looked at Samson and Rex before directing his eyes towards some gasoline that was nearby.
"Pour that in a circle around them!" he hissed to which Samson complied and picked up the plastic container and poured it in a large circle around the group of Junkies.
Rex watched Diablo in question then the Raven struck the match and dropped it on the circle of gasoline Samson had made and at once it lit up trapping the Junkies within making them jump back slightly at the light as well as the heat.
Rex looked slightly worried, as did Samson as the fire leapt around the junkies, slightly worried other stuff would catch fire, but it didn't luckily.
Diablo then stepped into the circle and towards the Junkies opening up his wings.
"You gather here to get high on Meth!" he cawed "You dedicate your lives to this hellish drug! You throw away your lives! You commit crimes to get your next high! I cannot imagine the pains of the victims you hurt and stole from! May they be your families! Your friends, or complete strangers!"
The junkies stared up at Diablo too scared as well as too high to comprehend what was going on.
"You will pay for your sins!" Diablo shouted "Each and every one of you!"
He then looked to a hooded man close to him who had a wallet stuffed with dollar bills as well as drugs in his clothes and guessed he was one of the dealers and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck before throwing him at Samson and Rex who caught him.
"Strip search him of his dough and drugs!" he ordered to which the Panther and Doberman nodded in compliance then Diablo looked around for others like him.
"We shall target the Dealers, and show these high junkies what we do to those who supply drugs to the innocent!"
Samson and Rex nodded then stripped the Dealer who protested and tried to fight back but Samson held him tightly whilst Rex searched his clothes for money and drugs whilst Diablo picked out similar dealers, and threw them over the circle of fire.
Before long the Raven had picked out all the dealers and with Samson and Rex's help tied them tightly to chairs after stripping them of their clothes and possessions.
"I believe this is all the Dealers." Diablo said looking at all of them who looked terrified and were shivering with cold, as well as showing signs of bruising and bleeding from the bounds with consisted of wire and ropes, and even the odd handcuffs.
Rex examined the money and drugs on a nearby table and sniffed them to identify what they were.
"We have heroin, Meth, cocaine, and weed!" the Doberman confirmed.
"Thank you Rex." Diablo smirked.
"And there is over 500,000 in cash here!" Samson said "They've been doing a good job in raising funds."
"Very good." Diablo replied "No doubt taken from victims, and stolen." he turned to the Dealers, there were six of them and he was spoiled for choice of what to do with them as they were was so much he could do to punish them and make them fear him.
"What are you planning Diablo?" asked Samson walking up to the Raven.
"Much!" Diablo smirked, "We did many bad things to those Red-Necks, and I did pretty nasty stuff to the Hate Preacher, his wife and brother...driving them into insanity."
As he said the word insanity, the Raven's eyes widened with an idea.
"Yes..." he said softly "That's it!"
"Sir?" asked Rex.
"The drugs!" Diablo turned to the Doberman "We shall use what they have against them! Give them an extra dose! Then give them hell!"
Samson and Rex's eyes widened in shock.
"Overdose?" they asked.
Diablo nodded.
"Not enough to kill." he said "But enough to drive them insane! So insane there is no going back!" he walked over to the table and picked up a syringe.
"What drug is this?" he asked.
"Meth." Rex confirmed "Judging by the smell."
Diablo looked at the drug and remembered what had happened to him when the Purple Dragon's had drugged him up on the stuff.
"This made me go mad." he said "And it was a rather big dose, and I will give the same treatment to these lowlifes! And those junkies over there," he added looking at the still high and terrified junkies in the circle of fire "Will never dream to touch drugs after the treatment I give!"
Diablo then walked over to the first Dealer and injected him with the syringe, the dealer struggled but couldn't get away before he was injected.
Diablo then withdrew the needle then took another from the table and did the same to the next dealer then the next, and so on.
Samson and Rex watched in horrified fascination as all the Dealers started to feel the effects of the drug and started to get high.
Diablo then turned to them both.
"Gentlemen?" he asked "Do you wish to join me in the treatment?"
Rex and Samson looked at each other then at Diablo.
Both had been willing to follow Diablo, and were more than happy to give the Red-Necks the treatment they deserved yet felt a little hesitant here with the dealers.
"Why do you hesitate?" Diablo asked "May I remind you that I offered you the chance to punish those who have done wrong?"
"I haven't forgotten." Rex replied.
"Nor I." Samson added.
"Then why do you hesitate?" Diablo asked as he walked behind one of the dealers and placed his taloned hands on his naked shoulders before digging his sharp talons in and drawing blood.
"These bastards are as such sinners as those who killed you, and they are leading innocents off the path and into darkness, you're doing a favour, punishing them."
Samson and Rex swallowed hard and looked at each other again.
"Like I said." Diablo said "I will not force you, but understand, there are sinners in this world, and if the police won't stop this crap, why not you?" he then smirked "Since no-one now knows you exist, you can do what you wish without consequence!"
He squeezed the dealers shoulders harder making him scream.
"You fucker!" The dealer shouted "Get your stinking claws off me!"
Rex watched the Raven then turned to Samson.
"He does have a point." he said "I have fought for my country and I got nothing in return! And I felt satisfaction after giving those fucking Red-Necks the treatment they deserved!"
Samson closed his eyes as he thought hard for a second then opened them to see Diablo was looking at him with his talons over the dealers head, drawing blood from his forehead.
"They deserve punishment!" Diablo hissed "They are dealing! And they might one day kill an innocent! They deserve to be punished! They deserve it!"
Samson took a breath and he began to remember the day he heard his mother had been raped and murdered, and his father killed for defending his shop as well as when those Red-Necks killed him for protecting Rex.
He turned to the dealers and bared his teeth then walked over and lifted his claws.
Diablo watched him and smirked then turned his attention to the dealer he was torturing, meanwhile Rex when for another, growling and snarling.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Knights had made it to the Drug Den, they were about ten feet away yet Tyroth and Devina could hears noises within due to their exquisite hearing.
"What the hell?" Devina asked as she narrowed her eyes listening "Have the bobbies got there already?"
"Bobbies?" Percy asked raising an eyebrow.
"The English call the Police that." Devina confirmed "Learnt it when I visited Britain a few months ago."
"It's not the cops." Tyroth growled "I'd know if it was! And also there are no police cars around if anyone had noticed!"
"He's right!" Jack said "There are no police cars!"
"Then what's going on in there?" asked Heather.
"Damned if I know!" Kate said "Unless it's a rival gang!"
"There's only one way to find out!" Tyroth said "We get closer!" he stepped forward and urged the others to follow which they did until they made it to the building.
Once they were close, Tyroth turned to the all.
"Okay, we better go in at all angles, Jack! You take Heather and Percy to the East side and find an entrance! Kate, you and Sarah stick together on the South end! Amber! You, Sharky and Devina take the North! Sephie and I will take the West!"
"You got it Boss!" Jack said.
"Confirmed!" the others said before starting to walk off.
"Ten seconds and counting!" Tyroth ordered as the Knights walked in different directions take their positions whilst Sephie started to count down the seconds.
Tyroth sniffed the air and listened hard at the shouts and screams inside.
"I got no idea what's going on in there, but I'm determined to find out!" he growled.
Sephie nodded as she counted down readying her bow and arrows.
Before long she reached ten and gave the signal to which Tyroth punched the door and broke it down, and he saw the others do the same on the north, south, west and east side.
As they forced entry, all the Knights were in shock to see the Junkies in the ring of fire, yet they were even more alarmed when they saw the dealers tied up and what or rather who was with them!
"It's him!" Jack shouted.
"Diablo!" Heater yelled.
Diablo who had been carving into one of the dealer's chests stood bolt upright in shock as he saw the Knights appear and he cursed loudly.
Samson and Rex were equally surprised.
"What the fuck?" Rex shouted.
"The Dragon and his gang!" Diablo cursed "Stand with me!" he beckoned Samson and Rex to stand with him as the Chicago Knights surrounded them.
"Who the fuck are these guys?" Samson asked.
"The ones I spoke of." Diablo confirmed "Those who do so-called good for the humans but hide like cowards!"
"Got you at last Diablo!" Sharky growled "We knew you couldn't evade us forever!"
Tyroth held up his hand to silence the mutant shark and looked at Diablo, even though he was furious, he decided to play it cool.
"Diablo." he said.
Diablo turned to Tyroth and glared.
"You!" he said "How did you find me?"
"Wasn't difficult Raven!" Tyroth growled then he looked at Samson and Rex "And who are these guys?"
"What's it to you?" Diablo asked "I saved them!"
"Saved them?" Jack asked "Fucking spare me!"
Diablo glared.
Samson and Rex were curious yet also worried as they stood close to Diablo.
"Stay close to me." Diablo said to them both "I'll look after you, I promise."
Tyroth looked at the Dealers tortured as well as the Junkies in the circle of fire cowering and terrified.
"By the Gods..." he said "Diablo...what have you done?"
Diablo sneered.
"What I believe they deserved!" he said "And you have a problem why?"
Tyroth growled.
"Don't you realise what you're doing?" he asked "You're going about this the wrong way!"
"Like how?" Diablo hissed "I am only punishing sinners! That is all!"
Tyroth growled.
"Hurting in unnecessary ways more like!" he argued as he stepped closer "That is not the Mutopian Way!"
Diablo glared and opened his wings then grabbed and Rex's arms.
"Hold onto me!" he said quietly to which the panther and Doberman grabbed onto him and the Raven flapped his wings and lifted them into the air.
"NO!" Jack shouted as Diablo flew to the roof and Sharky raced forward before anyone could stop him!
"Sharky!" Everyone shouted in protest, yet the shark ignored them and leapt into the air baring his sharp teeth and as Diablo flew though a gap in the roof he grabbed his leg!
Diablo gave a caw in pain as he felt the mutant shark's teeth sink into his leg yet he kept flying upwards, desperate to escape like he did before.
Before long Diablo was out of the drug den and above the rooftops where he dropped Samson and Rex onto the next rooftop as he tried to shake Sharky off his leg.
"Run!" he shouted to the two mutants "Save yourselves!"
"No!" Rex shouted as he stood his ground "A soldier never leaves his comrades behind!"
"Ditto!" Samson agreed.
"I can handle this!" Diablo shouted as he produced a syringe he had on himself, and looked down at the mutant shark with a smirk.
Samson and Rex watched as they saw the Raven hold up the syringe, like the ones he used to drug up the dealers and stabbed it into Sharky's neck and injected the drug within, to which the mutant Shark gasped both in pain and shock and started to convulse then let go of his leg.
Diablo let go of the syringe as the shark dropped to the ground then flew to Samson and Rex.
"Let's get out of here!" he shouted to which he flew ahead and the Panther and Doberman followed him closely as fast as they could whilst Sharky dropped back into the Drug Den.
So Diablo's Disciples and the Chicago Knights met again! Yet Diablo, Samson and Rex escaped, and Diablo's done something to Sharky! Will he be okay?
So close they were to catching Diablo! Damn!
