Encounter
"Is everyone ready to witness a game of fists, body and strength?" as the announcer started to speak, the whole dark place roared with shouts.
"we have a new challenger! looks like we will witness bloods and cries in our floor! Let us welcome the new comer...Xena, Philommina, Belatrix, Dusty,… the REDRESS gang!"
Four determined and confident women were spotted by a light standing in a corner, prepared for battle. Their features are hidden by black masks and dark crimson combat uniforms. Shouts of scorn and disapproval erupted as they began to approach the announcer, but none of them were intimidated.
"Woah...I like the fierce and confidence. Seems like they don't know the danger infront of them," the announcer said then he laughed at the group approaching him, and Sarha, the Redress gang leader, scoffed at him. The announcer got upset instantly.
"Wow, they really have guts! I wonder how long their pride will hold out."
"and now, Let me hear your cheers for our 10th rank gang, Diana, Athena, Camilla, and Cassandra of Saphira gang, from the other corner!" he said, and as he did so, the entire space was filled with delighted, excited shouts.
The fighting location lies 50 meters below the surface, and noises inside are imperceptible to those outside. It is difficult to enter this gang location despite its several entrances. Only members of the gang are allowed to enter and exit the entryway, which resembles a maze.
Let's hear from the Redress Gang leader, our challenger, before we get started!The announcer seemed so unenthusiastic as to suggest that he didn't like Sarha's gang when he presented it. In spite of this, Redress gang maintain their confidence in front of everyone there.
"This is just the beginning," Xena said, unleashing it with a great deal of ferocity and coldness. Many other groups laughed in disbelief.
"I have heard it a lot, and I have also witnessed lots of blood shed after saying that." Hearing that, Sarha grinned under her mask, she is confident they will win this battle.
"Now, let's hear from the gorgeous and strong, and powerful leader of Saphira Gang."
The gang leader grinned at Sarha and stated, "Enjoy your moment of being well, this might be the last." Sarha scoffed again then continued to smile even though she was wearing the mask.
"Are you ready for the gang to fight now that the moment has come?" Everyone's excitement filled the room once again
"then let the war begin," and walked off the stage.
Sarha closed her eyes and inhaled. She opened her eyes and glared at the other gang leader. It infuriated Saphira gang boss Diana, who launched a fistfight, only for Xena to dodge it and give Diana an elbow punch instead. After a few minutes, the rest of the Saphira gang launched their attack, and before long, every member of the group was on the floor.
Everyone was stunned by what they witnessed and the room became silent. At that moment, the only sound audible is the four powerful ladies breathing. When Xena lifted her head, the audience let forth an astonished yell. Xena smiled and about to leave the floor when her eyes spotted a guy from the gate 3 with normal attire and it is very evident that he’s not part of any gangs and he is a normal guy. This alarmed Xena for she knew that man can be killed at any moment when any gang notice him. She was about to go near him when he saw Jino member of Jinx gang attacked him from the back.
She hurried to gate 4 so that neither she nor the guy would be noticed. Xena run to an entrance to gate 3 from gate 4 then witnessed Jino attacking the guy still but she was puzzled for the man seems all fine and not hurt. She hurried up to Jino and attacked him from behind, making sure he didn't recognize who she was. Any gang that allows a stranger into the fighting place will be permanently barred from fighting and will never be able to advance in rank, and it goes the same for protecting strangers inside the arena.
Few minutes before the gang fight..
Chyster Sandoval makes purchases for a new acoustic guitar at an instrument store. When he attempted to open his car after making his purchase, the key dropped to the ground, and a running dog bit it and ran away. Chyster chased after the dog, and at last, the key dropped out of the dog's jaws for he pick it up. While gasping for air, he heard some boisterous voices in the distance. Taking in his surroundings, he realized he was in an underground corridor. He has had great ears since birth. Even the smallest sound may be heard by him, even from a distance. He would normally overlook things like this, but the sound piqued his interest. Basing from the path he is taking he knew that danger is waiting up for him but he can’t help his urge to follow the noise. He is taking a maze and he is amazed because everyone who will take the path for the first time without a map can be lost in it. After few minutes he is hearing the noises clearer and louder. He is hearing the announcer introducing a challenger gang. So he realized he is entering a gang fisght but he continued to walk near the place. He heard the names and the succeeding announcements and voices. He saw a light and he stopped walking when he saw 2 gangs fighting in the center. He scoffed and thought of how useless they are doing but his eyes suddenly caught by a red woman in combat with a black mask mask. She was so good in fighting and she has a fair skin. Even from a far, Chyster can see the evident beauty of the woman. He smiled and his feet froze from its place. In a just a minute all the other girls was on the floor. Chyster’s eyes never left the woman with black mask then suddenly he felt a force from his back that made him knelled to the floor. He didn’t felt any and so he stand up fast and attacked back the man who hit him first.
He needs to leave the area right away since he knows he is in danger, but this man won't allow him. He attacked and threw blows since he thought his opponent would tire out quickly. He senses that the man's strength comes from the force he is receiving rather than from pain. The man pulled out a knife and was ready to stab Chyster when a woman tackled him from behind, throwing the knife far away. She was the woman he was staring at in the floor a while ago. He realized the fight was over, so he stood straight. When the man lost consciousness, he simply grinned and observed the woman more closely.Then after the man fell unconscious, she looked at him straight with care.
“run, you might be noticed by more gang members” Xena said it to Chyster and she left him. Chyster retraced his route to his car as he knew he could be in grave danger if he stayed as the woman had instructed. His excellent memory allowed him to quickly navigate the maze and return to his car. Gazing upon the subterranean entrance, Chyster grinned, knowing full well that the woman who would elevate her heart rate would be no ordinary woman.
In the other side, Xena got back to their hidden place.
“where have you gone? Why did you run a while ago?”- Philomina
“I saw a man from a far, he is not a gangster then he was attacked by Jino”
“do you know him?”-Bellatrix
“at first I didn’t recognize him but as I got near him, I was stunned” she got the attention of all her members from what she said
“Who si he?”- Dusty
“Chyster Von Sandoval” Xena calmly said
“what!!” all of the other girls shouted in shock
“how could he?” -Bellatrix
“I don’t know”- Xena
“did he recognized you?”
“ do you think he will recognize me? Even when I’m out of mask he will recognize me.”- Xena
“how could you say so?”- Dusty
“remember? Our first day in college? He didn’t even recognize me as his batchmate from highschool?”- Xena
“you have a point though, hopefully he found the way out”
“but how could he get to the fighting place? No one could do that without a map, is he a gangster?!”- Philomina
“don’t be absurd Bellatrix, he surely thinks that this is the most useless thing to do and you speak as if you didn’t know him. His intelligent level could find the way in and out of this place so I confidently said to him a while ago ‘run’ for I know he knew the way out”- Xena
