The Warriors ? Chaos In Staten Island
It was a clear night as Vermin, Fox, Cowboy and Snow awaited Cleon?s arrival to the subway platform.
?So this chick sees me from the other side of the bar right, and I know she?s checking me out?? Vermin continued as he was chatting with Snow.
??And the cop is right on my tail, I?m running as fast as I can but he?s still keeping up!? Fox said to Cowboy.
??so then I lay the perfect ice breaker, I tell her: When I walked in here and I saw you, I thought ?oh baby throw it my way?.? Vermin said with a smile on his face.
?She fell for you after saying THAT?! Dude I don?t think I?ve heard cheesier pickup lines before.? Said Snow as he rolled his eyes.
?Are you kidding? I?m gonna start using that line more often!? Vermin said in pride.
Meanwhile Fox and Cowboy were still talking.
?So what happened?? Asked cowboy.
?Well, We got to this gap in the catwalk, I managed to make the jump, but the cop didn?t and fell about 8 feet into a dumpster!? Fox said as he laughed.
?All right Warriors!? Said Cleon as he emerged from behind them.
?Hey Warlord!? Vermin said cheerfully.
?OK here?s the deal, you?ve heard of The Black Hands right??
?I?ve heard of them but?? Cowboy began.
?I bought some flash off of a Black Hand. White tank tops with a black hand print right?? Stated Snow.
?Exactly, they have a lot of flash dealers in Coney, and while I don?t have a problem with them doing business, I don?t want foreign colours getting too comfortable on our turf. The Black Hands? turf stretches across all of East Staten Island and lately they?ve been moving out to other turfs too. They deal flash all across the city and have big numbers on their home turf though they're spread out here and in the rest of the city. Tonight I want to see how you guys can handle parleying and negotiations with other gangs.?
?What are we negotiating?? Asked Fox.
?I want to The Black Hands out of Coney if they continue things the way they're going, I want cooperation and I want it being done controlled. They can do business here but I want it done through us, they can?t just come here and sell their sh*t without The Warriors giving it the OK.?
?All right War Lord, sounds good.? Said Cowboy smiling in excitement.
They then took off to Staten Island, chatting on the train.
They finally arrived and got off.
?All right there?s a group of Black Hands meeting you at a warehouse by Stapleton.?
?Aren?t you coming too?? Asked Fox showing a bit of anxiety.
?I?ve got other things to take care of while here.? Cleon said firmly.
?Like what?? Asked Vermin, almost whining.
?Like none of your damn business!? Cleon snapped.
?All right, all right no problem War Lord.? Vermin apologized.
When Vermin, Fox, Cowboy and Snow finally arrived they?d been through some rough areas and had a lot of eyes following them. The Warriors were noticeably nervous, they were a long way from home. They arrived at the warehouse and discovered a small army of about 30 Black Hands who were guarding the warehouse.
?Woah?They really take security pretty seriously here...? Said Cowboy as he looked around.
?Well we?re here to talk not to rumble.? Said Fox reassuringly.
?Hey! Warriors!? Yelled one of The Black Hands.
?What?? Asked Snow in a confident manner.
?You?re wanted in here!?
?All right time to talk I guess?? Said Vermin biting his lower lip.
The four Warriors walked into the warehouse, Snow looked at each of them confidently and strengthened their morale.
?So these are the Coney Island Warriors huh?? Asked a Black Hand lieutenant, he wore a blue shirt with a black hand print instead of a white.
?Yeah, we?re The Warriors.? Said Fox.
?All right then, let the chit chat begin.
?We don?t like you guys doing business on our turf without our permission.? Said Snow in a rather cold way.
?Well look what we have here! Four Warriors among 8 Black Hands only in this room, and 30 more outside, and you come here to complain! Give me one reason why we shouldn?t waste you right now?? Said the Black Hand in hostility.
?Because then you?d have all The Warriors on your ass, you?d be beat out of Coney faster than you can say ?flash? and you?d loose out big time on your business.? Snapped Fox.
?Well well, looks like we?ve got someone with good parleying skills! So The Warriors aren't all bop and no brains after all. What do you want??
?If you?re going to do business on our turf we want it done through us, controlled. You'd have our protection but we want a cut of your profits if you're going to do your business in Coney.?
?What makes you think we need your protection??
?Think your boys are invincible that far away from your home turf?!? Vermin snapped.
The Lieutenant crossed his arms.
?I don't like your attitude.? He said.
?We're not the ones being hostile here.? Said Fox.
?If you want to continue talking, I want to see how you rumble, toy!? Stated the Black Hand Lieutenant as he pointed at Vermin.
?If you really wanna get wrecked, fine by me.? Said Vermin in a cocky way.
Fox, Cowboy and Snow, along with the 8 The Black Hands made a circle around Vermin and the challenging Black Hand.
The Lieutenant charged at him, knocking Vermin down, he got up quickly though before the Black Hand managed to get the better of him. The Black Hand took another swing at Vermin but he ducked and elbowed the Black Hand in the face. While he was stunned, Vermin kneed him in the crotch and when he fell to his knees he finished it with a swift side kick to the face.
?That's it you little bastard! Nobody messes with The Black Hands! Hands!?? Said the Black Hand Lieutenant as he crawled away in pain.
?Ready!? The remaining 8 shouted.
?Wreck 'em all!? He bellowed.
One of them ran straight for Fox but he grabbed him and threw him through some chairs.
Another ran up to Snow and laid in a few punches before Snow countered with a well placed kick tot he stomach. He then grabbed the Black Hands' head and smashed it into the wall, blood gushing from the wounded Black Hands' nose as he fell lifelessly onto the ground.
Two came after Vermin. They punched away and Vermin did his best to block. He ducked and tackled one of them onto the floor and began pounding away at his face until The Black Hand was bloodied and bruised. He got up only to see Cowboy had come and taken care of the other Black hand that had attacked him before. The Black Hand took a swing at Cowboy, but he dodged, grabbed his arm, twisted and proceeded to break it as he then threw him tot he ground, howling in pain.
Another charged right at Cowboy but he ducked and flipped him right over his shoulder. He grabbed his head and bashed it into the ground.
Fox was wrestling with a Black Hand on the ground, but he clutched Fox's throat and began chocking. Fox reached for the nearest object he could find and just in time found a bottle and smashed it all over the Black Hands face. He then pushed him off of him and kneed him in his all ready bleeding face until he didn't get back up.
Vermin grabbed a Black Hand and held him from behind as Snow came in with a broken chair leg and smashed it over his head as Vermin held it down.
One last Black Hand remained. He punched Vermin twice in the face but as he went for a third Vermin knelt down and grabbed his ankles, tripping him and then finished off by kneeing laying down a vicious fist straight into his crotch, leaving him moaning in pain on the floor.
?Well I wasn't expecting this when we came to negotiate a business deal!? Vermin said to himself.
?We totally wrecked 'em! My knee got a bit hurt but we're all standing and they're not!? Cowboy laughed.
?We better get out of here though.? Said Snow.
?What's the hurry?? Asked Vermin.
?How about the 30 guys outside who won't be too happy about us wrecking their pals?? Fox said rhetorically.
?Oh crap you're right! We've gotta get out of here! Let's move we don't wanna get japped here now do we??
?We've gotta do this calmly. He was the one who challenged you to a rumble and then sent his soldiers on us. They started it. That doesn't mean they're going to let us go easily though. The Black Hands aren't knowing for brawling or tagging but when it comes to defending their flash dealing then they won't hesitate to waste us.? Fox said as he looked around the room.
?So what are we gonna do?? Asked Vermin.
?We're gonna sneak our way out of here, find Cleon, and tell him what happened. He can talk to their warlord and we'll sort this out.? Fox said confidently.
?Hey BJ I was just...oh crap...? Said the Black Hand who had just walked in.
There was a second of silence that felt like an eternity. Should they run for it? Should they take him out? Does he have someone with him in the hall? So many questions were running through The Warriors' heads.
?We're gonna get japped here...? Vermin said nervously to himself.
END OF PART 1
PART 2
The Black Hand ran off down the hall.
?Let's go wreck him!? Shouted Vermin as he began to go after him.
?No.? Said Fox as he held him back.
?Why not?? Asked Cowboy.
?We should just focus on getting out of here, we're miles away from Coney, so let's just get home before we get wasted.? Fox said, assuming command.
?He's right.? Said Fox.
They ran off silently through a different corridor and stuck to the shadows. It took at least an hour sneaking. The warehouse was massive.
?They're probably on full alert right now, so let's keep it quiet.?
They managed to sneak tot he edge of the warehouse, but noticed two scouts guarding the exit.
?We don't want them calling for help...? Cowboy whispered.
?Yeah, right.? Vermin said to himself.
?We should make a distraction...get them separated and then wreck them silently.? Snow said.
?Yeah...? Said Fox as he peeked around the corner.
Fox found a small stone, threw it near them and stuck to the wall.
?What was that?? one of the scouts asked.
?I don't know...check it...be careful? He replied.
?Sure thing.? The other said as he walked off.
Just as the Black Hand scout turned the corner Snow grabbed him and got him in a choke hold. Not letting go until the scout stopped struggling. He fell lifelessly onto the floor.
?Jerry! Hey! Jerry! This is not the time to be screwing around! Every time something happens you gotta go messing around...? The other scout said to himself noticing his friends absence. Just as he approached Vermin grabbed him and bashed his face against the wall until he fell unconscious.
?All right, let's get out of here now!? Cowboy said relieved.
The four Warriors burst out the door in rejoice only to stumble into a group of Black Hands on patrol.
?Yeah. We're definitely gonna get japped here.? Vermin said pessimistically to himself.
?Hands!? Shouted one of them.
?Ready!? The others shouted back.
?All right Warriors! Wreck 'em all!? Fox yelled.
The Black Hands charged at The Warriors. Vermin dodged the charging Black Hand and elbowed him in the back of the head.
Cowboy wasn't quick enough and took the charge from one of the Black Hands. They began wrestling on the ground. The Black Hand began punching Cowboy, but he grabbed and twisted the arm in one of The Black Hands' arms and twisted until it broke, he then got up and began kneeing The Black Hand in the face repeatedly until his face was bloodied and bashed.
Snow kicked one of The Black Hands in the stomach then tackled him down and began punching relentlessly.
Vermin was up against two. One of them grabbed him from behind as the one in front began punching him. Vermin used the grab to his advantage and kicked the Black Hand in front of him in the face. He then backed up into a wall, having the other Black Hand reluctantly release him. Vermin kneed him in the crotch, and as he knelt forward in pain Vermin got him in a headlock and punched mercilessly. He then dropped him and ran towards the other Black Hand he had kicked to the ground. He elbowed him in the nose, causing blood to run from it and then laid down a hard elbow to his back.
Meanwhile Cowboy was thrown to the ground by a Black Hand, as he ran in to finish him Cowboy grabbed a bottle and smashed it across The Black Hands' jaw, breaking it, he then used the shattered remains to stab him in the gut and finally threw him in a wall.
Fox was brawling with the last. The Black Hand got in some good punches on Fox, as he moved in to tackle him Fox dodged and kneed him in the face, he then tripped him, sending him to his knees before him. Fox kicked him in the head, causing him to fall down and finished it with a stomp to the face.
?Not bad Warriors. But what do you plan to do about us?? Said the Black Hand Warlord who was joined by 15 to 18 Black Hands.
?We're gonna get wasted here!? Vermin said uneasily.
?Stop right there!?
Everyone turned to see Cleon, accompanied by around 15 Warriors. He marched towards The Black Hands' warlord.
?Vermin got challenged to a rumble by one of them, when Vermin won he got angry and sent the rest on us. We had to bop our way out of that whole damn factory!? Fox told Cleon.
?What's this bulls***?? Cleon demanded.
?Well...uh...?
?Well what? Your soldiers break away from the truce during a business deal??
?We didn't...?
?Well this is what's going to happen. If you want a war, we'll give you a war. And we wont stop until every Black Hand we see is wasted or crawling on the pavement in his own blood. OR, you do business on our turf, with us getting 10% of all your flash profits.?
The Black Hands were silent. They were embarrassed and angry. But they knew they couldn't win here.
?So what's it gonna be then?? Cleon demanded.
?Fine.? He reluctantly accepted.
?Let's move it Warriors.? Cleon said and began walking.
?Hey Cleon! What...how did you...where...? Vermin had too many questions.
?Well shortly after you guys left to negotiate I went to check on you, only to get attacked by two Black Hands screaming about ?There's one of those Warriors.? I wrecked them and made a phone call, since I knew something had to have gone wrong if they attacked me despite us being there to parley. I knew you guys would be trapped behind enemy lines, so I called for some backup to make sure we'd get you guys out safe. A Warrior never abandons his brother.?
?Wow thanks Warlord!? Cowboy said gracefully.
?Too bad you missed Fox's parleying skills, he's pretty good Cleon.
?Really?? Well it's a good thing I underestimated you guys or else I never would have come to check up on you!? Cleon joked.
?Vermin's right though.? Snow clarified.
?Well nice work Fox, too bad it had to end like this though. Mark my word your skills wont go unappreciated. We're The Warriors. We'll be all city in no time.?
THE END
Hope you guys liked it
