I don't own anything in this story.
The Crow family sat at the table in their war room at the top floor. A map was layed out across the table displaying all the gang territories of Purgatory. The map itself looked like an eggshell that had been smacked in the middle. The city was divided into nine different sections.
They were now located in the Saint's old territory at the southern end of the map at the entrance to the city. The shared a border with Toras El Rabiar, or the Raging Bulls, and the city's police force. In the center of the cracked shell map were thirty smaller sections representing small time gangs normally with less than two dozen people.
"We have taken a large chunk of territory here." said Darkwings pointing to the place where they now stood on the map. "But now is the time to expand. I want every one of you on the streets now! Spread the word, the Saints are gone and the Crow family has risen to place. I want every single building and business with the Saints symbol to be painted over. I don't want to turn without seeing our Crow family signature. Then I want to start our movement into the smaller territories, we will take all the land in the middle of this map."
"But sir, don't you think we should increase our numbers a bit first? Can we afford to kick up some shit when we don't have a decent number of soldiers?" asked Danny. Judas shook his head.
"No. Darkwings, Tsujido, and I can tell that if we recruit the old fashioned way, we won't have any decent numbers for at least a month or two. If we take their turf, they'll fight for us in order to have a stake in it. Anybody who refuses, we'll use their blood to paint our names across this city."
"Move it out!" ordered Tsujido. Everybody left the room but Darkwings who sat on his bed clutching his sword in his hand. He layed back and shut his eyes, remembering when he first found this sword.
DDDDDD-2 Years ago-DDDD
"Come on boys!" Gaston shouted at them. "Step into it, then swing down! That is how you use a sword! Swing harder Darkwings! How do you expect to slice off your opponents head if you can't strike hard enough?" Darkwings was as skilled as his brothers at the sword but he was considerably weaker than them physically. After hours of practicing Darkwings rested on his stoop sweating profusely with Gaston at his side.
"I have to get stronger quicker." said Darkwings. "Is there any trick you know dad?" Gaston put his hand to his chin and rubbed his stubble thinking intently.
"No, besides the regular training you have been doing there is no other way to improve your physical strength…but there is one thing I remember. There is a cave a little ways away from here with a weapon that is infused with the power of a demon."
"Apparently during the warring states period a swordsman sold his soul to a demon to get the strength to defeat his enemies, the problem with that is when he was finished with his enemies he didn't stop. He went after his allies, neutral clans,...anyone who looked at him. A priestess had to be called in to try to vanquish the demon within him. Unfortunately she couldn't save the warrior's life and died sealing the demon's spirit in his sword. If you go there and get that sword then you might be able to steal the demon's strength."
"I want to go to this cave!" exclaimed Darkwings springing to his feet.
"Alright, I'll draw you a map." Gaston said.
"You're not coming with me?" Darkwings asked.
"No...No, I am far too drunk to go with you. I can still draw a pretty straight map though." answered Gaston staggering a little.
"But its getting dark out, you're going to let your son wonder out at night alone?" Darkwings asked. Gaston looked at Darkwings with surprise and asked,
"What are you? A little bitch? The Scooby Doo gang's parents allow them to run around solving mysteries all night long and you're afraid to go to a cave?"
"I'm thirteen you dick!" Darkwings exclaimed.
"So? When I was thirteen I was a creature of the night. I was shaking my shit at clubs and going at it in the back of cars. I was out all night and came back late in the afternoon." Gaston went inside the house and came back with a sheet of paper and a pen which he used to scribble out a map to the cave. "Now take this map and go out and find that dark scary demon filled cave, quit being a wussy!"
DDD- An hour later at the cave DDD
After an hour of wondering around the desert plain in circles Darkwings arrived at the mystic cave. Talismans lined the entrance to the cave. An old worn stone was placed at the entrance with a warning carved in it, "Do Not Enter! Evil!" Darkwings ignored the warning and walked boldly into the dark entrance.
Cobwebs coated the tunnel. Each one thicker than the last like natural barriers shielding the outside from the evil in the cave. Darkwings could feel a dark hot feeling seeping into his body as he went further and further into the cave.
"What are you doing here?" hissed a heavy scratchy voice from no where. "Leave this place. You do not belong!" it commanded. Darkwings didn't pay it any mind and kept on walking, letting the darkness surround and fill him. He looked ahead and saw a small shrine with long burnt out candles surrounding it. The sword Gaston told him about was lying across the table of the shrine glowing malevolently.
"Stop! What are you doing? Don't come any closer fool!" screeched the voice once again.
"Shut up" Darkwings replied. "That sword is mine now."
"What would you do with it Uriel? That damned book isn't enough? You must have a sword too?" Darkwings didn't know what the demon was talking about… and didn't care. He reached the shrine, reached out, and grabbed the sword. A piercing shriek cut the air like nails scraping on glass. A million screams echoed through the air like an enormous battle field.
A cold dark shadow erupted from the sword, looming over Darkwings.
"You want my power Uriel?!" it screamed. "You can't have it!" The shadow raised its claw like arm up high and brought it down hard across Darkwings's chest. Darkwings black blood leaked heavily from his wounds. The toxic water of Purgatory had turned his blood a dank black color over the years of drinking it. Almost instantly his skin tightened together healing his scratches. Darkwings pulled the sword out of its hilt revealing a dazzling light that made the shadow cringe in fear.
Darkwings slashed at Shadow cutting the figure in half. The Shadow growled loudly and wrapped itself around Darkwings, covering him in complete darkness. Darkwings concentrated and wings shot out of his back breaking the shadow's hold.
"An angel wielding a demon sword?" chuckled the shadow. Darkwings was growing very annoyed and chopped at the shadow repeatedly with the sword. With each swing the shadow screamed in agony. "Please…" wheezed the shadow. "An angel without mercy is nothing but a devil. So please kid…have some mercy for this devil." Darkwings shook his head.
"Sorry, I'm all out of mercy." Darkwings raised the sword of high and brought it down straight through the shadow's head down past its intangible body. The shadow dissipated and the air in the cave felt less tense. Darkwings turned around and walked out to the entrance of the cave.
"Don't take that out of here." echoed a woman's voice. Darkwings looked ahead and at the mouth of the cave stood a poised beautiful woman. Her long dark black hair came down past her shoulders to the back of her knees. Her robe was dark blue color with a white sash pulled tight across her waist. Even with the robe pooling around her frame Darkwings could still see her great figure. "Leave that evil thing here. It will bring you nothing but pain."
"Life is pain lady. Anyone who says different is trying to sell you something or stupid." Darkwings said nonchalantly moving past her.
"Please good sir." she begged following behind him. "Put the sword back, its evil knows no bounds. With it, great misery will befall the people of this land."
"The people of this land are already miserable. I'm using this thing to end their misery." scoffed Darkwings. The see through woman ran in front of him. The soft face she had on before was replaced with an ugly scowl.
"Look asshole! Just put the damn sword back! I sealed the evil spirit away at the cost of my life and have been guarding it for hundreds of years, so don't fuck it up for me, ok!"
"Shut up" said Darkwings sheathing the sword. Instantly the woman disappeared leaving Darkwings alone. With his prize in his hand he walked back to his home.
DDDD- Back in the war room DDDDD
A rapid knock on the door woke Darkwings up from his dream.
"Yo, Darkwings! We got some trouble! Come quick!" Shouted someone outside the door.
Darkwings put on his black leather jacket and followed his underling down the staircases to the bottom floor and out to the street. "We were tagging all the buildings and houses all the way outside of our territory when we got jumped. It was one of the Flower Gang." Darkwings knew little about the Flower Gang except that their main territory was a long abandoned basketball court and that their leader was a fierce blond woman that wields an insanely sharp sword.
"There she is!" his underling said, pointing to a short purple haired woman who was straddling another one of his underling's chest punching him repeatedly. She looked up from her punching bag and saw Darkwings approaching. She got up to her feet giving one last kick to the man before her. She was a few inches shorter than Darkwings (5'11) with straight shoulder length purple hair. She wore a pair of dirty poorly laced sneakers, baggy black cargo pants, on her hands a pair of workers gloves, and a purple jogging bra that showed off her midriff. She got into a boxing position, raising her gloves, and smirked at Darkwings.
"This is why you woke me up? You couldn't even handle one woman? You should know how pissed I am when I just get up." The beaten man crawled over on his hands and knees over to Darkwings.
"She got us by surprise man! Jumped out of no where and sucker punched me!" the beaten man spitted out.
"No I didn't you jerk! I told you guys to stop painting on our turf and you guys just laughed and started hitting on me" the girl stated.
"I DON'T CARE!" shouted Darkwings. "The point is your turf is now property of the Crow Family." The girl chuckled.
"Who is the Crow Family? I thought the Saints controlled this area. And who the hell are you?"
"To sum it up" started Darkwings, "The Saints are dead, they were killed by the Crow family, my brothers Judas and Tsujido and myself, Darkwings. Now who the hell are you and why shouldn't I slice your tits off?"
"I'm the second lieutenant of the Flower Gang; I am called the Rumblin' Rose. And you couldn't get close enough to me to even touch me with that sword!" said RR (abbreviation). Darkwings glared at RR and told her,
"I won't be needing it for you." Darkwings raised his fists copying her stance. RR giggled and said,
"That jacket of yours is going to affect your swinging motion. You're not going to take it off? Or do you really think it makes you look tough?"
"Our fight won't last long enough for me to take off my jacket" answered Darkwings advancing on her. RR laughed once again.
"OhhhhhhKaaaaay man, whatever you say. But what makes you so sure your going to beat me?" She asked closing the distance between them. Darkwings didn't blink as he answered,
"Well, because I have...WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" Darkwings screamed turning to his left and pointing. RR instinctively turned in that direction as Darkwings kneed her in her stomach knocking all the wind out of her. RR moved back holding her stomach with one hand, her eyes welling up with tears, gasping. Darkwings stepped toward her his arms at his side, eyes still glaring at her.
"That *cough cough* was a fuckin' cheap shot!" RR wheezed.
"If you want a clean fight then join a fighting federation, but in this city we do whatever it takes to win." RR growled and tried a right hook at Darkwings's face. Her fist stopped an inch away from his face before Darkwings snatched her by the wrist and slammed her cheek with a left hook of his own. RR fell to the ground stunned but conscious.
"Yeah bitch! That's what you get!" said one of Darkwings's underlings suddenly finding their courage.
"Shut up" said an increasingly more annoyed Darkwings. "I already have a headache and you're making it a migraine."
"Hey Darkwings!" shouted Tsujido holding a spray paint can and a pair of dog-tags. "Looks like you caught your share of action as well. Who is she?"
"Where are those dog-tags from?" Darkwings asked.
"There off a guy that tried to attack me. The tags say Dog Boyz; the guy was wearing a hoodies with some dog ears sticking out of it." Darkwings shook his head.
"Dog ears, can this town be anymore weird? Oh I almost forgot this is Rumblin' Rose as she calls herself. She claims to be a lieutenant of the Flower Gang."
"What are we planning to do with her?" asked Tsujido looking down at the wheezing woman.
"How about we have some fun with her then we send what's left of her back in a box to her leader." suggested the beaten underling with a wicked smile. RR's eyes shot open and turned to Darkwings to see his decision. Darkwings held his chin in his hand thinking.
"No. When she fought me she was my opponent, now that she can't fight she is a woman, so we are not going to turn her into a plaything ok? She will be our ticket to a sit-down with the Flower Gang's leader." Darkwings stated. RR was slightly relieved that she wasn't going to be taken advantage of. "Do you have those handcuffs on you Tsujido?" Darkwings asked his brother. RR's looked to Tsujido as he handed Darkwings a pair of cuffs which he quickly snapped onto RR's wrists behind her back.
Darkwings scooped up RR and slung her over his back with her face in his back and her butt up in the air.
"Hey check it out!" said Tsujido pointing to the little rose tattooed onto RR's lower back. "She's got a cute little tattoo on her backside. I'll give her another one." Tsujido lifted his stencil and spray painted the Crow Family emblem above her tattoo. If RR had her breath back she would have been screaming obscenities at Tsujido in disgust but couldn't manage the breath to even make a comment about his mother.
"Stop squirming" Darkwings told RR. "In time that symbol will be glorified and you will want to get a real one seared into your skin. But for now, where is the Flower Gang's headquarters?"
