That day Darkwings cremated Danny and Kayo in the Crow Family base's basement. He took their ashes and went to the roof of the building along with the rest of his family. Richard had the honor of spreading Danny's ashes over the side and into the wind over the city. Darkwings held Kayo's ashes in his hands and walked to the edge of the building.
"Momoko…do you want to say a few words first?" Darkwings asked his daughter.
"Yeah" she answered. Momoko took the box of ashes in her hands. "Thank you for all you did Kayo!" she prayed loudly. She handed the box back to her dad and Darkwings shook the ashes loose over the side of the building and let Kayo's ashes dance about in the air.
"We have lost a couple of brave people in our family today" Tsujido announced to everyone. "But we will win the battle for Purgatory. You're all dismissed until then."
"Get back here now!" shouted Darkwings at Momoko. The buck naked little girl shrieked,
"No! Get away!" She opened the room door and escaped down the hallway. Darkwings ran into the hall after her. "Help! Help!" screamed the naked little girl running down the hallway. She reached a dead end and turned around to face her pursuer. Darkwings crept slowly up to her smirking.
"No where to run now!" he said.
"No! Leave me alone!" she begged. Darkwings picked up Momoko by her waist and tucked her under his arm marching back into his room.
"There is no escape!" said Darkwings to the struggling girl in his grasp. He took her into the bathroom. "You are going to be quiet and do as I say!" said Darkwings setting her down on the cold tile floor. "Get in the bath now!"
"Nooo!" whined Momoko as Darkwings began spraying her with water, preparing her for the bath.
"Momoko stay still!" shouted Darkwings at his energetic daughter. Through what Kayo had told him he had learned so much about his once shy daughter. Her full name was Momoko Hasakawa, she was blood type B+, her favorite color was orange, and she hates sweets. Her mother had left her years before with her father.
"Hold still now you little creep!" demanded Darkwings as he scrubbed the mud out of his daughter's hair.
"Nooo!" she whined as her loving dad scrubbed her scalp mercilessly. A call came from the front door,
"Hey yo! Somebody skinning a cat in there?" asked E.O.
"No, I am trying to wash this squealing little piglet here!" said Darkwings finishing his scrubbing. "Now comes the easy part, just sit still for one more minute Momo." Darkwings picked up the shower nozzle and sprayed Momoko's hair. E.O. laughed.
"Behold the 'Dark Angel Darkwings', 'The Devil with Blue Eyes', 'The Winged God of the Damned', playing hair dresser with his own wittle tiny tot." E.O. said with a huge smirk. Darkwings turned his head to E.O. and stood up with the spray nozzle still in his hand.
"You're right." he said. "Maybe after I am fixing my wittle tot's hair I could stick this in your ass all the way to your colon. Would that seem more like 'Merciless Blood Thirsty Animal' you know?" E.O.'s smile never left him as he raised his hands up and pointed his palms out in submission. "Speaking of asses, where are Battle and Stripe?" E.O. rolled his eyes.
"They're over at Chi-T's place trying to score with his hottie granddaughter." he said. "You want me to go get them?"
"No" said Darkwings. "Let those two strike out with Chao. It will be a lesson in humility for them. I'll go over there later and kick their ahh…" stopped Darkwings trying to censor himself around his daughter. "Beat them up later." E.O. raised an eyebrow and shrugged.
"So you want me and Cross to go and fuck up the rest of those Highlanders?" E.O. asked. Darkwings walked up to E.O. and punched him hard in the arm. "Dude! What the hell!" asked E.O. Darkwings again slugged him in the arm.
"Watch your mouth in front of my kid dammit!" said Darkwings. "I told you all before that I don't want her picking up bad habits from you guys! I'm not going to stand for any more of the crap you guys are teaching her!" Momoko walked up behind Darkwings and pulled on his sleeve.
"How are Battle and Stripe going to 'score' with Chao?" she asked. Darkwings raised his arm to punch E.O. again when she stopped his arm, laughing hysterically. "I already knew what E.O. meant" she explained with a big smile. Darkwings lowered his arm. He and E.O. laughed along with Momoko.
"Alright." said Darkwings finishing his laughter. "I'll take care of the Highlanders. You go out and check up on our new recruits." E.O. nodded and left the room. He turned to Momoko and kneeled down to meet her at eye level.
"You know the rules Momo. Don't leave the building without an escort and if when you come in our room, don't forget to lock the door and not answer unless someone gives you the password. Cowabunga!" Momoko nodded at Darkwings.
"I have been meaning to talk to you about the password you chose dad. I think we should change it." she said. (Me at age 6 speaking to my father)
"What's wrong with Cowabunga?" asked Darkwings. "Just like the turtles say. You know the turtles I'm talking about. The ninja ones."(My father) Momoko shrugged and looked away.
"I don't know." sighed Momoko. "That password just seems…kind of gay" (me) Darkwings crossed his arms.
"What's gay about the Ninja turtles?" asked Darkwings.
"Oh come on now, four teenaged males hanging out together in a sewer with an old rat man. The never have any girls over nor talk about them. Whenever they aren't fighting really muscular men they are always working out together." said Momoko. "They make references of each other's 'shells'. What kind of message are you getting from them?"
"Hey don't talk like that now." said Darkwings. "Your six years old, you're not even supposed to know about that stuff yet. How do you know all that?"
"I watch Saturday morning cartoons. And I watch the news a lot. When you watch both you pretty much put two and two together." explained Momoko. (This is end of conversation with father). "And a while ago I caught Uncle Danny and Uncle Richard wrestling, and the first thing I was reminded of was the turtles." Darkwings rubbed his forehead and sighed.
"Ok, now no more of the news, or Saturday morning cartoons, or remembering your uncles 'wrestling'!"Said Darkwings. "Your six, you're not supposed to be able to put two and two together. It's creepy when a kid is that smart." Momoko smiled and nodded again. "How about 'open sesame'. That good?"
"Yeah that sounds nice" smiled Momoko.
"Ok then, seeya later." he said walking out the door waving.
(I have absolutely no problem with gay turtles or people for that matter. If you have any problem with either, don't read this story.)
"Wait daddy!" yelled Momoko running up to Darkwings. She handed him a pair of bells. "Remember your promise to Kayo?" she said jingling the bells. Darkwings took the bells from his daughter and rolled them in his hands.
"No." he said. "I remember the promise I made her." Darkwings took the bells and tied them to his left ankle. He knelt down and hugged Momoko. "If you ever need me, you will be able to hear me coming with these. I will see you later." Darkwings turned around and left the building.
Darkwings walked across the street to the Green Dragon, the tea and Chinese food restaurant owned by Chi-T.
Chi-T was an elderly Chinese man who left China shortly after his family left to start new in Japan. During the third impact, his daughter was killed with his son in law, leaving him with his grand daughter Chao. He planned to return to China but Japan and China closed their borders to each other after their debate at the U.N. when they argued over whether China should send aid to Japan after the Japanese fought off the second angel. He was sent to Shirotoko after the Japanese government relocated him.
Darkwings came across the Green Dragon one day as he was coming home from the local grocery store Charlie's Corner. He had his hands full with heavy bags filled with clothes, food, and water when he saw two scrawny looking punks trying to threaten Chi-T and Chao.
"The way I see It." said one of the greasy looking kids grabbing Chao by the arm. "Since the Saints are gone, it is up to us to keep the neighborhood safe. And since it is a costly operation, I think we are gonna have to get some payment out of the local business owners. Know what I mean?" Chao snatched her arm away.
"No! We are not going to pay you a cent of protection!" she screamed at them. "Go scam someone else!"
"You little bitch you!" said the other guy raising a hand up about to smack her. Darkwings walked right behind him, groceries in hand. The guy's arm knocked the bags out of Darkwings's hands and to the ground, dirtying the clothes and spoiling the food. The two punks turned around and one said to him,
"Watch were you're walking dick holster!" Darkwings didn't even look at them as he knelt down to inspect the damage. The clothes he bought for Momoko were all full of dirt, and the eggs he had bought were broken. "Hey I'm talking to you shit lick!" He noticed the sword on Darkwings's back. "You can make up for bumping into me by getting on your knees and begging forgiveness. That and handing over that sword of yours quick and smooth like." Darkwings continued to ignore him.
"You hear him scag?" said the other punk. "He said you better make amends!" he said grabbing Darkwings's shoulder.
Darkwings grabbed the hand on his shoulder and snapped the bones in the guy's wrist. As the one punk held his hand screaming, Darkwings stepped up to the other one and grabbed his hand.
"Hey man, let go!" the punk demanded. Darkwings picked out two of the guy's fingers and shoved them straight up the guy's nostrils. While his victim tried to make sense of Darkwings's attack, Darkwings took his free hand and shoved his victim's arm, causing his fingers to go further up his nose, to his brain. Darkwings let go, and the punk dropped to the cement, dead. Darkwings turned around to the screaming man and pulled his sword out its sheath.
"Did you say you wanted this?" asked Darkwings referring to his sword. The sniveling punk tried to crawl back away from him. "Where are you going? I'm just trying to make amends." said Darkwings stepping closer.
"No dude!" screamed the punk. "Let me go!" Darkwings kept coming closer.
"I will." said Darkwings. "If you can reimburse me for my groceries." he said pointing at his spilled goods on the cement. The man pulled his wallet out of his pocket and handed it to Darkwings.
"Take it all!" he begged. "It's yours!" Darkwings looked in the wallet.
"This isn't even enough to pay for my eggs." stated Darkwings. He put the wallet in his jacket pocket and stabbed the quivering man through the face. He pulled his sword out and wiped it on the dead punk's shirt. Chi-T, thinking Darkwings came to his rescue invited Darkwings in for a free meal. There they came to the agreement that the Green Dragon would become one of the Crow Family's bases of operation.
Darkwings walked through the swinging red doors of the Green Dragon. He spotted Battle right away hitting on Chao.
"Hey baby" started Battle. "Wanna make a baby?" he asked wagging his eyebrows at her.
"Ummm." said the startled Chao. "I'm sorry but I am not looking for a relationship at this time, but thank you for the offer." she said bowing slightly.
"When are you going to learn dude." said Cross. "Chicks don't like you." he stated with a pearly white grin across his criss-crossed scarred face. Battle stepped off his stool next to the counter and grabbed Cross by the front of his shirt.
"You want to repeat that scar face? And if your answer is anything close to anything I think I just heard I'm going to slice up your face even more until your name is 'cutting board'!" Battle shouted.
Cross's grin never faded as he rose up his hands as they began to glow a white light. "Don't you ever shut up?" Cross asked.
"NO! Not when I'm awake!" Battle shouted.
A loud banging came from the tile floor as Chi-T banged his hard cane on it.
"Take that shit outside!" said the old man. Darkwings's approach was signaled by the jangling of the bells on his ankle. "Ahh! My number one customer, Mr. D!" (He asked Chi-T to call him that so nobody can identify him.) Darkwings nodded at Chi-T and looked to Battle.
"We were just playing" claimed Battle as he let go of Cross's shirt and patted him on the shoulder. "What brings you down here boss?"
"I came to find out how your mission is going." answered Darkwings. "Have you been doing what I told you?" Cross nodded.
"Yes, just like you said we have been starting random rumors in the street about your identity. There are so many floating around now that it is impossible to tell fact from fiction at this point."
"Good" said Darkwings. Chao laughed and said,
"You wouldn't say it was a good thing if you knew what they have been telling people. One rumor they sent out was that you are really six foot five inch transvestite male who dresses in ladies dresses in battle." Darkwings turned to Battle and Cross who were both looking away whistling. "Go on." urged Darkwings.
"Another one they said was that you were an insane Otaku who learned martial arts after reading it in a comic book." Chao continued. "The precise description they gave was that you are goofy looking and probably a virgin." Darkwings turned back to Battle and Cross, both giving him their "please don't kill me" face. Darkwings let out a deep sigh.
"Memo to me" Darkwings said, rubbing his forehead. "Memo to myself: Maim both Battle and Cross later today, end memo." He pulled Battle and Cross off of their stools and told them,
"Come on, we are going to visit our little science experiment. Move your asses."
"Ahh" whined Battle. "But I still have to finish my orange chicken, boss" he said motioning to his half eaten plate.
"Don't worry" said Darkwings. "You will take it to go" he said taking the plate and dumping it down Battle's pants. Chao and Chi-T both laughed.
"Gees dude!" complained Battle as he tried to remove the chicken out of his pants. Darkwings pulled out some money and paid Chao for the meal.
Darkwings led Cross and Battle two blocks down where the Crow Family's new soldier was being assembled.
Darkwings lifted up the metal screen at the front of the small office and stepped inside. They walked through the white eggshell colored room to the laboratory where professor Zaleno was working on his new enforcer.
"Is the volunteer ready yet?" Darkwings asked him.
"You came just at the right time!" said the giddy Zaleno. "I just finished and am ready to unveil him. Come over to the window and look." Professor Zaleno left Darkwings and went into the lab room. Darkwings looked through the window and saw a platform with a body covered with a tarp lying across it.
"Is he ready?" asked Darkwings.
Professor Zaleno nodded and pulled the lever. Gears turned and whirled, pushing the platform up. Raising the patient's body up higher for Darkwings to see. The professor pulled the sheet of the patient's body and in the laboratory light Darkwings saw the face of a young boy.
The boy had a set of pointy ears coming out of the sides of his head and fangs poking out of his mouth. He looked in the boys eyes to see a light shade of forest green glaring up at him.
"He's a kid Zaleno." said Darkwings. The professor nodded.
"I picked him out of an orphanage where they had transferred him from Africa. I adopted him and began the procedure."
"Why is his skin… green?" asked Darkwings.
"I combined his DNA with the entire animal kingdom and the chemicals you gave me from Purgatory's water supply. The mixture changed his skin to a sickly green and his appearance more animal like." explained Zaleno. Darkwings glared at Zaleno and asked,
"He volunteered to do this? He doesn't look to happy to be strapped down there Zaleno."
"No, I didn't ask him about it prior, per se. But I was able to find the perfect subject for you." Zaleno said, defending himself. "Young enough to adapt to the sudden biochemical changes, no morals to deprogram, fragile psyche to mold to your will, and no one who would miss him…"
"But…" Darkwings interrupted. "I told you specifically...Specifically that I wanted a volunteer. What you have done is tortured this kid without consulting what I thought of it."
Zaleno fell silent and looked to his patient, trying to break his bonds and kill him.
"Tell me…" asked Darkwings. "Do these controls by this window control the electronic cuffs of that kid's platform?" Zaleno eyes went wide and looked back to Darkwings as he pushed the button, unleashing the green child.
The small green child let loose a primitive roar and lunged at Zaleno as he tried to escape the lab. The child reached out his clawed hand and sank it deep into Zaleno's neck, pinning him to the ground. Zaleno punched the child futilely as the green boy start clawing at his face, ripping his skin apart.
Darkwings watched in amusement as Zaleno screamed for help as his skin fell apart and blood gushed out of the wounds the little boy was making in him. The window was splattered with Zaleno's blood like a stained glass window. Darkwings peeked through the bloody window and saw the little boy standing over the sobbing Zaleno, glaring at him now.
The green child charged the lab window and broke through the glass. He swiped at Darkwings with his bloody green claws, missing each time. Darkwings raised the tranquilizer gun Zaleno had foolishly left in the waiting room and shot the boy in the chest multiple times.
After another round of blood thirsty, savage attempts to murder Darkwings with his bare hands, the bow fell down and fell asleep. Battle crept close to the child and nudged the boy with his foot.
"Looks like he's out!" he said. Battle let out a girlish scream as the child latched onto Battle's foot and bit him. Cross dropped his arms to his sides and tried to keep them from splitting as he roared with laughter at Battle's reaction.
Darkwings flipped the green child onto his back and held his arms down as he tried to reach for Darkwings's throat.
"I'm sorry. I know your pain." Darkwings' eyes glowed blue and he looked the green boy in the eye as he shared his own memories with him. "These humans…they beat each other to death, the kill one another, and when the chips are down they will eat each other. You and I… we're a whole new breed. Now you have the power to bite them back. Join me. Join my organization and the humans will have another person to be afraid of."
The green child looked at him for a moment, watching him through glaring eyes, never loosing contact with Darkwings's blue ones. The green child nodded his head.
"Good" Darkwings said picking himself and the child off the floor. He hugged the green boy like a little brother and said, "I am going to check on Zaleno here. See if he is still breathing." Darkwings stepped over the pools of blood in the lab to where Zaleno lay. He squatted down next to dying scientist and asked him,
"So…are you going to get a volunteer the next time I tell you to do something like this?" Zaleno coughed up some more blood and nodded at Darkwings, pleading for a second chance. Darkwings put his hands on Zaleno's wounds and let his blue aura engulf Zaleno's body.
"Looks like the experiment was a success." said Darkwings as he continued healing Zaleno. "I think I will call him…Beast."
"Beast…" the green child muttered not showing any sign of emotion.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD In the Crow Family War Room DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Judas, Tsujido, and Darkwings sat in the war room around the map of the city that was sprawled out on their table. Stripe and E.O. came in the door.
"What's next on today's agenda bosses?" Stripe asked Judas, Tsujido, and Darkwings.
"We're going to find out who tipped off Pauley of Shore's demise" Judas said.
"What you mean?" E.O. asked.
"We've been thinking about it for a while now" Tsujido said. "We didn't leave a single Saint alive from Shore's gang. How did the word spread to Pauley that his brother was dead? For a while we thought he had an informant, and it turns out we were right. We found out there is a bartender near hear who gives out information and sends messages for cash."
"Our plan today is to go talk to the bartender and see who paid him to send the message out to Pauley that Shore was dead" Darkwings said. "Stripe, we want you to continue tagging the city. Get our name everywhere. E.O. you are going to hit the streets and recruit. Try and find some more soldiers to join our ranks.
"You got it" E.O. said leaving with Stripe right behind him.
"You guys ready to go?" Tsujido asked getting out of his chair and picking up his sword.
"Yeah I'm ready" Darkwings said. "I'm still upset about how things turned out with Kayo and Danny but I'll feel better when I wring the info out of the bartender's face."
DDDDDDDDDDDDDD At the bar DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
The three brothers walked into the bar. The bartender, a man in his late forties looked up and said,
"Welcome, what can I do for you? What do you need? Food, drink, information?"
"What do you know about who contacted Pauley?" Judas asked a bartender. The man's face soured suddenly and he said,
"Hey, fuck you, you, and you, and all your mothers for having you" the bartender says. "Now get the hell out of my bar."
"Sounds like you don't want to tell us" Tsujido said. "Are you sure you want to go down that road?"
"Damn sure" the bartender said smugly. "I ain't telling you nothing."
"You sure you're not going to tell us?" Darkwings said. "Not ever?"
"Never ever ever" the bartender said.
Judas picked up a bottle and smashed it against the bartender's head. Tsujido jumped over the bar and held the bartender's arms behind his back
"Hey! The Fuck?!" the bartender shouted. Judas calmly walked around the bar and starts punching the man's face in.
"AHH! AHH! AHHHHH!" The bartender shouted, growing louder after each punch. Judas pulled poloroid out of his jacket, grabbed the man's face and shouted,
"You see that?" Judas said pointing to a picture of Kimiko. "The more time I spend hitting you, the less time I spend hitting that! Now tell me what I want to know!"
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you…" Tsujido releated the man's arms and threw him to the floor. The bartender said with blooding gushing from his broken nose and battered face. "The Highlanders did it! They payed me to contact Pauley...the remaining Highlander gang was worried they were next on the chopping block so they wanted to send word to Pauley that Shore was out of the picture!"
"Excellent, I appreciate you being so straightforward" Darkwings said being sarcastic. "Now, how about a drink for the road?"
"Ok…" the bartender said spitting out blood. "W-what do you want…?"
"Get me a…Holy Bartender" Judas said.
"Oh, that sounds good" Tsujido said.
"I never heard of it" the bartender said trying to keep his blood from spilling all over his glasses.
"Ha! He doesn't know how to make a Holy Bartender!" Judas says to his brother. He turned to the bartender and said, "Well…we know how to make a Holy Bartender." The three brothers pulled out submachine guns they took from Pauley's arsenal and emptied the entire clips into the bartender.
"Hehe…hahahaha!" Judas laughed. "I love it! Holy Bartender, Wholey Bartender! That's a great one! HAHAHAHAHA!"
"We have what we want" Darkwings said as they left. "Let's go to the Highlander's territory and talk to the remaining families. As for their great leader, Nobuda Zaibats, we're going to sit down and have a civilized talk with him, and when the meeting is over we rip his fucking head off."
"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" Tsujido said. When they reached the open street they heard a voice behind them.
"Quite an impressive kill you made back there boys" a Shiretoko cop said. He stood in the black uniform, that the Japanese government had given him and the police force to monitor and control Purgatory. "I think that might cause you some trouble in the future. I can help you out…for a price of course" grinned the cop.
"Pass" Darkwings said continuing to walk away.
"You sure about that?" the cop said following them. "Have the cops on your payroll helps keep business rolling. Takes care of some competitors, and makes us turn the other way when you and your buddies are out doing something that might otherwise get you into legal trouble. It might be in your best interest to pay me."
"Get lost" Judas said following his brother's attitude.
"HAHA" laughed the cop. "Alright, it's your loss guys!" he called out as they walked away.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD In the highlander base DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Nobuda Zaibats sat with his loyal samurai warrior followers and contemplated their next move. Their fellow Highlander affiliate gangs had refused to obey The Crow Family and were slaughtered. Their plan to sic Pauley on them had failed. Now they were running out of options and growing desperate.
"We are at a time of great peril…" Nobuda announced to his large group. "We must now decide if we should give in to the demands of The Crow Family and become an extension of their organization. I am confident of my own skills but I fear for all of you. The one thing we must remember is to be vigilant; the Crow Masters are out for blood, so they're going to make a big scary entrance"
"Master! We must not fear The Crow Family! We should attack!" one of the younger members shouted.
The sliding door of the Highlander dojo busted off of its frame and in stepped the three brothers, Judas, Tsujido, and Darkwings.
"What's up little bitches?!" Judas asked the startled group
"Sometimes fear… is the appropriate response" Highlander master mumbled.
"I have good news for you assholes! We know the entire story, so you don't have to spend an eternity trying to lie to us!" Darkwings said.
"Yes" Nobuda said. "You have destroyed yet another adversary in your way. We are convinced without a doubt that you are indeed the organization that we should swear our allegiance to."
"HA!" Judas laughed. "Can you believe the balls on this guy?" Judas asked his brothers. "Well…we did come here to kill every last one of you but I suppose we can be civil about this."
"I am glad you think so" Nobuda said.
"Unfortunately…" Darkwings started. "The original invitation has now been withdrawn. Now you're going to have to earn your way in." Darkwings turned to the Highlander warriors and announced,
"The number of people we are going to invite into our family is now twenty. As of now I count 1…2…3..." Darkwings counted the number of faces he saw. "I count forty six people in your group. I am going to start a timer…" he said pulling pushing a button on his watch. "When the timer reaches five minutes I want twenty people to be left standing. The rest…dead."
"W-what…" one of the braver Highlander warriors asked.
"The rest need to be dead!" Judas shouted. "D-e-a-d, Dead! By then we will have found who is a true devoted applicant! If there are more than twenty after the timer goes off, you all will be killed. START!"
One of the members in the back of pulled out his sword and began slashing at his comrades hoping to be one of the last twenty standing. As several bodies hit the floor the others equipped their own weapons and began battle.
"No! NO! My warriors!" Nobuda screamed in horror as he watched his underlings cut each other down. "YOU did this!" He shouted pointing at the three brothers.
"You bet start swinging bud" Tsujido said. "The clock is ticking."
"Oh I'll start!" Nobuda said running to his closet containing his weapons. He pulled a vial and an injection gun from the closet. He stuffed the vial into the gun and used it to inject the green fluid of the vial into his body. He threw the gun away when the vial emptied.
"What was that crap?" Judas asked.
"I bought it off of a scientist." Nobuda said as he twitched and spasmed. "I'm bought it for when I was going to kill you!" Nobuda suddenly started convulsing violently and he fell to his knees. His body started changing, he exploded in muscles, he grew four feet in height, and his skin visibly darkened to a dark leather color. "Do you even know how to kill me Crow Family?"
"We're going to cut your goddamned head off, and see if that works you freak!" Tsujido said.
"If you think transforming is going to stop me from beating the hell out of you, you got another thing coming!"Darkwings shouted drawing his sword. The three brothers charged the monstrous Nobuda. The brothers slashed at and swing wildly at Nobuda, all landing deep slashes, but with his new incredibly thick skin each cut made felt more like a paper cut to Nobuda. Nobuda let out a long roaring laugh as the brothers stopped momentarily, exhausted.
"That all you got Crow Family?" Nobuda taunted. He swung his powerful arms trying to hit the brothers.
"Got any smart plans Darkwings?" Judas asked.
"Punch him in the junk!" Darkwings said as he dove down underneath the oversized Nobuda and threw a devastating punch to Nobuda's gonads.
"RAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Nobuda screeched. "I THINK YOU FUCKING SHATTERED THEM!" Nobuda fell to the ground and started rubbing his crotch trying to sooth his aching testes. Darkwings pulled a gun from out of his jacket, pointed it at Nobuda, and cocked it.
"Your skin was too tight for a bullet to pass through it, but now that you opened your big friggin trap I can blow a hole through your head through the back of your throat" Darkwings said.
"AAAUUGGHHH… how did you beat me!?" Nobuda moaned in pain.
"Easy…you're my bitch" Darkwings said as he pulled the trigger of his gun and killed Nobuda. "Ah man" whined Darkwings. "Now I got brains splattered all over me."
*BEEP**BEEP**BEEP*
The timer rang out as the five minutes ran out. The Crow Masters looked and say that only sixteen of the original forty six remained. Apparently during the fight several of the former Highlander warriors got so caught up in their fights that they killed four extra people than was necessary.
"Welcome to the Crow Family my friends!" Judas shouted with joy as he and his brothers led the remaining warriors out of the bloody dojo.
As Darkwings led his brothers and the remaining warriors to the Crow Family headquarters he heard someone call his name.
"Hey Darkwings! Judas! Tsujido!" Stripe called from down the street. "I just finished my latest mural! I think it's my best work ever, what do you think?" Stripe called as he hung from the side of the building he painted.
The Crow Masters looked upon the side of the freshly spray painted building and saw the mural that Stripe had just completed. The mural showed the three of them sitting beneath an old tree, all of them wearing black, with Crows surrounding them as if in worship. Their faces were so clear and realistic on the mural that anyone would think that someone had stuck an oversized photograph of them all on the side of the building.
"Amazing…" one of the warriors said.
"Told ya so!" Battle said as he stepped out from the headquarters. "This guy is the best painter you could ever know." Stripe reeled down from the building and ran towards his friends. Suddenly someone shouted,
"You there! Freeze!" Gun shots rang out and fired at the end of the sentence. The Crow Family watched in horror as a look of shock came over Stripe's face and he fell to the ground.
"STRIPE!" Darkwings yelled. He sprinted over to Stripe and knelt beside him to see the damage. He examined the wounds. Stripe had been shot in the back of the head. There was nothing Darkwings could do to heal him; the brain had been completed destroyed. A bullet hole was left on Stripes face with blood pouring out of it and a look of pain and surprise frozen on his dead pale face. Darkwings looked down the street to see the shooter. On the corner of the street across from him, was the cop from before.
"Shame" the cop said without remorse. "If the damn kid would've stopped I wouldn't have had to shoot a fleeing suspect. Oh well. It's not like this could have been avoided…right Darkwings? Maybe now you should think about the benefits of having a cop as a buddy." Darkwings looked back to Stripe's body. He closed his friend's eyelids and stood up. The rest of the family was in shock. They just watched Stripe shot down in cold blood…by a cop.
Darkwings picked a loose brick from off of the road and walked towards the cop.
"W-what do you think you're doing there Darkwings?" the cop asked sensing danger.
"Get over here" Darkwings ordered in a calm voice.
"Think it through dude" the cop said cocking his gun. "You mess with a cop and you got the entire force breathing down your neck. Think you can handle that kind of pressure?"
"I SAID GET OVER HERE!" Darkwings roared as he charged the cop. The now frightened police officer pulled his gun and tried to hit the charging Darkwings. The bullets grazed Darkwings's face and torso because of the cop's now shaking hands. Darkwings gripped the brick in his hand hard and slammed it into the cop's face at full speed.
The cop fell to the ground screaming with blood gushing out of every hole in his head. Darkwings fell on top of the cop and starting beating his head in mercilessly with the brick, bludgeoning him to death.
"DIE! DIE! DIE!" Darkwings roared as he beat the cop's brains out of his skull. Darkwings didn't stop even when the officer was clearly dead. He kept hammering the officer's face with the brick until his head was nothing but a bloody pulp on the street. Tsujido and Battle had to pull Darkwings off of the officer's corpse to stop him from beating it any further.
The other Crow Family members crowded around the Stripe's body.
"Little buddy…" Battle said with tears and snot streaming down his face. Even Cross cried a few small lines of tears over the loss of one of his best friends.
"What are we going to do now...?" Battle asked feeling like the world had come to an end. Everyone turned to Darkwings, who wore a serious, calm, solemn face covering in blood and bits of brains from the cop. He stated simple and calmly,
"We're going to continue expanding. Contact all the gangs in this city. Every…last…one. We're going to hold a meeting. After we have gotten every last gang under our control. We are going to kill every last cop in Purgatory."
End Chapter.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I'm sorry for the wait. Combined with my schoolwork and my job I have had little free time to type up a good chapter. But now that I have a little free time I hope this will make your holidays a little sweeter. Thanks for all the reviews. I promise I will update another chapter much sooner than I did this one. Thank you.
Also I want to state that I have no negative view against real police officers. The ones I know, do their job very well and ethically.
