"Alright boys tonight's the night, were gonna show those bastards down at Fourth street who runs this part of town!!!" Top Dog shouted to rile up the rest of the gang.
"Yeah!!"
"Screw those bastards!!"
"Let's give em hell!!" about a hundred dark skinned guys with wicked dreads and waves carrying bats, knives and cutlasses were gathered in an old warehouse screaming at the top of their lungs . These were the members of the World Tribe gang who operated in south area of a community called Norlan in West Philadelphia.
Recently an Asian gang called Raizou had trespassed into our territory and built a base at Fourth Street and tonight they would be getting a surprise visit from our gang. Among the hundred or so guys in their mid 20s and 30s a young man no older that 18 with black and purple dreads tied up and a fade, could be seen sitting on a crate holding two knives, who although had a seemingly normal expression on his face was currently having a mental breakdown.
"Calm down Avric, Calm down, ain't nothing to worry about y-you've prepared for this all your life" he said to himself internally, feeling the cold sweat sliding down his neck and his body slightly trembling. This brown skinned youth was Avric Chrome, he joined the World Tribe Gang about six months ago, not by being some badass but, because of the leader, TopDog who was also his big brother.
Having to struggle when he was younger, his mother being sick, his dad in the dirt, his brother created this gang before Avric was even born coming to a realization that if he was gonna provide for his family the underworld was the only place that didn't have standards.
Currently the World Tribe was bigger than ever imagined, with old generation badasses like his brother and new generation prodigies like Avric the gang planned to continue until Philadelphia was under their rule. Except for one tiny problem for Avric,"I'M NOT A FRICKING PRODIGY!!!!" he screamed in his mind. Being the leaders brother everyone expected him to be some ruthless powerhouse with a mohawk, eye patch and a fancy for dead bodies.
Meanwhile the most badass things Avric has ever done is robbing a couple stores for a quick buck to pay for his Crunchyroll subscription. Although he was no sissy and could fight pretty well as he studied martial arts at a local dojo run by an old chinese guy but that's all he's never done drugs or even done another dudes girl, much less kill someone. As he was spacing out he suddenly heard a husky voice calling his name "Yo Avric" Marcus called out do his little brother who was sitting in a daze.
"Shit, he's gonna realize I'm scared, I didn't even see when he came over" he thought frightened by his brother's sudden appearance.
"What's up Marc.....how's it going" he answers trying his best to stop the trembling in his voice as to not worry his brother" but Marcus had already seen the nervousness behind his bright, violet eyes before walking up to him, and as his big brother he instantly understood.
Marcus sat down on a crate next to his brother and turned to face him ready to give some advice.
"Ya know I don't really expect you to kill nobody tonight, don't think I don't know what your thinking your my lil bro and I'm here to protect you" almost instantly Avric felt his shaking stop, his breathing calm and his pounding heart slow to a steady beat as he looked at his brother with a look of relief like he had been waiting to hear those words all his life."Thanks Marcus", every doubt and every fear was instantly pushed out of his mind.
"Give em hell little bro", I grinned from ear to ear knowing I'm gonna prove myself tonight, "I'll do my best".
Suddenly the door to the warehouse burst open as a black guy over 6ft tall with a mustache and a machete on his back came sprinting through, drenched in sweat as if he had just been running for his life. He screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice cracking with every word as he gave us a warning that would signify the end of World Tribe. "Raizou's coming, and they got guns man, everyone you can think of Glocks, AK-47 and some other shit I ain't never seen before", instantly everyone in the room went from black to white and silence took over everyone like a contagious disease, but only for a second as soon everyone started panicking.
"What the hell man how did they know we were coming!!!!!!!"
"I only got a bat man what the hell is that gonna do against a gun!!!!!"
"What are we gonna do man!!!"
"Yo am out bro, I ain't sign up for this man"
The whole gang was in chaos as guys started shouting left and right while some were bailing through the back door as the intensity of the situation increased.
As I watched the scene unfolding in front of me I turned to look at my brother, he wasn't exactly panicking bit his face was twisted in annoyance as he watched his once proud gang fall apart, he started clenching his fists until blood dripped between his fingers as he tried to think of a plan, he couldn't force his gang to face those Raizou bastards, it would be suicide.
As I looked at my brother's expression I knew what he was thinking, going up against even one Ak-47 would be terrible much less a gang armed fully armed with them plus other guns. Avrics knowledge of guns, knives and other weapons was unparalleled and could probably only be matched by a very experienced army weapons professional so he was well aware of the dangers the guns named and those unknown posed.
And in the single moment were it seemed like things couldn't get any worse...
POW!!!
A shot which unmistakeably game from a Glock 17 sounded in the air and echoed of the warehouse walls. Silence took over, as everyone turned there heads almost in unison to the front door were the body of the bearer of bad news laid dead on the ground, with blood leaking from a whole in his head, smoke lingering in the air from the shot and over a thousand Asian guys in what seemed like a gang uniform with a red dragon on the back were standing all with weapons from AKs, M16 rifle, M4A1, MP5 sub machine guns and UMPs
As the whole gang stood frozen I could only think one thing as I knew this was the end
'OH GOD!!!!'
