Ryu was what everyone called him, the leader of a small gang of misfits, but small they may be, they somehow took over the territory of a group who had been around for nearly 50 years, in a matter of days. No one knew the full story of how it happened, but the bits and pieces people have whispered behind closed doors, was of a Demon with the name of a dragon, wielding a bat, wiping out over half of the forces by himself. No one asked if the stories where true, mostly since no one knew what the group even looked like, anyone who dared enter the territory with ill intentions never came back. The only indication of them, was the loud sound of engines in the distance, and if you heard them, you are already dead...
"Isn't this story Awesome?!?"
The rambunctious teenager asks.
"You think their talking about us? I mean everything lines up right?"
The teenager shows his phone to his uninterested classmate, wiggling it to get his attention. Finally getting his attention, the uninterested teen looks at the other boy, his friend had bright blonde hair, obviously dyed to look cooler than he actually is, it was spiked up so much that you could almost use it as a weapon.
"It's obviously about us...It even uses my nickname."
The uninterested boy responds, and the other boy basically jumps with glee, he was a very easy person to read, definitely to a fault, but that's what Ryu liked about him. Even though they where the same age, he seen him like a little brother.
"I can't believe we are a urban legend!"
"Not a legend, we actually exist --_---_."
Ryu Jolts, not in pain, but in surprise, he knows he said his name, but he couldn't hear what came out. What was his name again? How could he forget his best friends name?
Before he could ask any more questions, someone bursts into the room, a larger teenager he knew well, he knew him as a very quiet guy, but something had him shaken.
"-==--- Got caught by those old men! Their beating him bad!"
There it was again, he couldn't hear the name, but there wasn't time for that.
He stood up and ran out the door, even though he wasn't told where they where, he knew for some reason, something is wrong, but he needed to focus.
Before he knew it, he was standing before six armed men, all with clubbed and bladed weapons, in his haste, he forgot to grab a weapon, but this wasn't his first tussle.
"Looky here, if it isn't the baby dragon himself...Get him boys."
The man in the back says as he points his large knife at Ryu, the five men charge at Ryu, some readying an attack, while a few try to circle around to get an attack on his back, a useful tactic when you have the overwhelming majority in a fight. Three men circle around as two men charge head first, one with a metal pipe, the other with a switchblade of some sort.
The first attack is a swift slash at Ryu's torso, it would be a shallow cut, but a cut none the less, however Ryu dodges back just enough to avoid the slash, but before a counter attack can occur on either side, the man with a pipe, swings hard at Ryu's head. Not capable of fully dodging as he is already slightly off balance from the first dodge, he instead decides to lift his arm up to block with his arm, he knew it would hurt his arm, but better than an injury to the head. The metal pipe slams hard against his forearm, but to the surprise of his attacker, the pain seems meaningless to his victim.
Before the attacker could react, the pipe he has been holding, was grabbed with the arm he just hit his hardest, and then heard a sickening crunch, his right arm has been broken at the joint, he didn't even see the attack that did it. Before he could even scream the pipe he just used, was slammed into the side of his head, he fell over with a loud thump.
Ryu didn't have time to relax as the man with the blade, and the other three men started their assault, the man directly behind him was first to attack, a simple backwards elbow knocked him to the ground, buying him time to deal with the others. Ryu then went on the offensive, the one with the weakest defense was the man with the blade, he charged forward and swung as hard as he could, the man tried to block with his arms like Ryu did, but instead, the pipe smashed though his defenses, cracking his skull and knocking him down. he quickly turns around to deal with an attack from the man coming from his left, since both of the mans arms where up to swing his large weapon, Ryu feigns a block with the pipe, but just as the man steps into range, Ryu kicks the man in the stomach causing the man to drop the large hammer he was using, to grab his stomach in pain.
Ryu's arms already in the attack position, the man helplessly holding his stomach was a prime target, but before he could fully swing down, the large man from his right takes a strong punch at him. This was the only man without a weapon, but he didn't need it, it seemed as if his whole body could kill. Ryu Jumps back getting space from the four men on the floor, two of which could get up at any moment, but the last man doesn't give him time to worry about the others as he charges, hands to his chest, ready to punch as hard as he could, and that's just what he does, Ryu Barely able to dodge feels the pressure of the punch, even if it doesn't hit him. Ryu Grabs the large mans arm and pulls it, leading the large man to stumble a bit as Ryu cocks back and punches the man in the face, the man stunned but not down Ryu begins to wail on him with the pipe like a crazed man, The large man tries to defend, but there is only so much you can stop before you've had to much.
But before Ryu can take the final swing, a loud bang rings through the air, stopping Ryu in his tracks, He turns to see the that he wasn't the only one fighting, his best friend and the larger quiet boy had charged the leader, trying to sneak attack him, but was unsuccessful. his best friend was shot, straight through the chest, his worn out white school uniform, quickly being turned into a blood-soaked rag.
Before Ryu can React the leader turns his gun to the quiet boy and the boy who was captured, shooting two shots into the young boys. The Leader than looks at Ryu and smiles, as if he didn't just kill three teenagers.
"This is what happens when you Fuck with real Killers Kid."
Ryu couldn't understand what just happened, three of his friends, lay dead in front of him. Why doesn't he feel anything, nothing at all, not even the attack he sustained on his arm.
Something snapped, everything went dark.
nothing...
There was nothing...
He found himself covered in blood, all the men clearly dead, his friends and foes, including the leader, who was no longer recognizable as he had been beaten so bad. What happened in those few minutes he couldn't remember, but soon realized, not all the blood on him was from his enemies, he had been shot himself multiple times.
Then again...
Nothing...
