Street wars (open)

At the prison

Damien sat in his cell with a smug grin, today was the day he was going to get out of here... Its been eight long years and thankfully none of his gang ratted him out as the leader. Yeah that meant all of them got stuck in here for this long.. But hey they where family and took control of the place while they where here.. Soon he could hear the foot steps of the prison guards. They stopped in front of his cell and Damien rose to his feet. The prison guard glared and frowned at Damien as he unlocked the cell and opened it. " Ok... Come with us Mr. Garcia." one of them said.


Damien smiled and nodded as he walked out of cell and followed the prison guards out the door and to the huge gate. No one was waiting for him on the other side, no surprise there really.. He was not on great terms with his blood relatives and his gang knew it would not be a good idea to be there to greet him ether. Damien then took his first steps into freedom. He did not bother looking back at the place he had been in the eight years. He put his hands in his pockets. " Its time to raise some hell..." Damien chuckled to himself. He was looking for some revenge, on the hero that took his gang down eight years ago and landed him in prison. Hercules... He did not know who the masked hero was... But he would find out one way or another.

The streets

Damien then his way to his old hideout, a old ruined factory. When standing in front of the old building Damien let out a sigh. No one was here.. He stepped forward anyway opening the door and stepped inside. He gazed at the familiar building that still showed the signs of the battle he had with Hercules... Damien formed a fist and hit a pillar he was standing next to. Damn hero... Foot steps where suddenly heard and out of instinct Damien powered up and made Psionic Blast balls ready to explode.

Pfft! Hello to you to boss.." Came a chuckle. Damien smiled when he heard the familiar voice. He then turned to see his friend who somehow managed not to get arrested eight years ago. " Wanna see the new hang out?" He said with a grin.

Damien nodded, " lead the way." he said as he powered down and the Psionic Blast balls faded away. The two then walked to the other side of the city making their way to the outskirts of the city. " It was such a great find! A abandoned underground bunker! May have been a bomb shelter or something who knows.. But its out of sight of prying eyes and huge enough to fit everyone. Its like a underground castle just waiting for its king!" The friend said with excitement.

Damien would give a smirk as he then entered his new home. He then was greeted by members of his loyal gang. They all cheered when they saw their leader, Damien smiled as he stood in front of everyone.

" Ready to raise some hell?" He asked his gang.


"YEAH" would come the reply.

" Ok, I want teams of two to head out and tag our mark around the city... To let every gang out there to know.. The black dragons are back.. And I need research done about the the one who landed me in jail.."" He commanded.


That is when his friend stepped forward. " I had a feeling you would want info on him.. So I have been looking... Hercules has gone silent since then... But there have been sightings of those using super strength in the last eight years.. Here is the list I have gathered." He said as he handed Damien his notes.

Damien was surpised and took the notes and photo's and started flipping through them and froze when he saw a familiar face... His older half brother Levi.. He had saved a guy from a burning car.. And recently too.

" Heh.... HAHAHA Ok then.... I will look into these personally..." Damien said with a dark smile.

" Also one more thing... While you where gone a new gang has become a power house in the city.. They call themselves the Invisibles.. I don;t know much about them though... Besides the fact they seem to keep gangs in check somehow.."

Damien smirked, " Is that so... Then after we kick up some hell I'm pretty sure they will come to us then... When they do we can interrogate a few of their members.. Find out who their leader is."


Later that night the Black Dragon gang members went out to different parts around the city and going into other gangs territory tagging a black dragon.

-The Next Day-
[Ammo Clan]

Casey stared at the black dragon sprayed onto a small section of Ammo Clan's exterior. He raised a brow. Regulars weren't stupid enough to do this without incurring Omega's wrath. It was stranger still, because as far as anyone else could tell, the outside of their hangout looked like just another warehouse. How would an outsider know about it...? Casey sighed, glancing to either side of him at the OHaras. "...What 'n the blue hell is this?"

Ricky looked back with a small grin. "It looks like grafitti!"

"I know that!" Casey scowled.

"Honestly, not too sure of it myself..." Riki answered earnestly, scratching at his chin. "I'm not super well versed in this, but..." He also tilted his head in attempt to inspect the tag. "Is this, like... some sort of challenge? Or...?" He trailed off, turning his gaze back to his boss.

"If it is, it ain't the Wild Fangs. They at least got the decency to communicate," Casey ruled them out. "And if it were the Red Devils, I think we'd know by now," He grumbled, looking over his shoulder expectantly. "They'd at least show up." He rolled his eyes.

"Midnight wyverns have arisen from the abyss..." Came Omega's voice. The others glanced in his direction as he approached the group. Omega narrowed his eyes, focusing on the image once more to better his assessment. "...It is their mark."

"Who?" Casey raised a brow. "I know you ain't meanin' actual dragons."

"Black Dragons," Omega grunted, much more restrained in his dramatic speech. He pulled the mop from his back, preparing to erase the tag, but Riki waved him off, pulling his phone out to take pictures of the image. "...Understood," he nodded, lowering his weapon. He continued speaking of what he knew. "...I admittedly recall little of them, but I recognize the symbol." He motioned at the wall. "...If my memory is correct, they appeared a year or two after Ammo Clan's founding, give or take..."

"Hah! Seriously...? If they've been around that long, then how come this is the first time I'm hearing about 'em?" Ricky snerked, raising an arm in a half shrug. "Must be a trash gang if we've never heard of 'em."

"That, I do not know." Omega furrowed his brow in thought. It had been a while since he'd heard news of them, to be honest... And it was more telling that his comrades had no memory of them at all. "Perhaps a revival or resurgence is in the works..." He pondered. Riki then gave him a quick thumbs up, putting his phone away while Omega went to work on erasing the mark.

"Hrmph. If it is some kinda challenge, s'gonna take more than a tag to get our attention," Casey grunted. "Ammo Clan don't strike first."

"Uh... Boss?" Riki leaned forward, lowering his voice. "I'm pretty sure we've broken that rule before..."

"Ammo Clan. Don't. Strike. First," Casey repeated more firmly, though there was slight amusement in his tone. He grinned mischievously.

"...But loopholes exist."

[Yuki]

""...But loopholes exist."


Sunny's ears perked up when Casey said that.


"loopholes for what?" She asked as she walked up to the group with a smile, she then soon saw what they where talking about. The black dragon graffiti that was now being cleaned up by Omega. Sunny blinked, "Oh man you guys got tagged too? This graffiti is all over the city. Heh good thing I scanned one.. I plan on doing some research on this later heh." Sunny said with smile. If this was a new threat she needed to get all the info she could in order to protect Yuki. "Buut I was hoping to hang out with ya guys a bit.. But if you are busy cuz of the graffiti I understand."

( Some time later at Aster High)


Levi had forgotten to turn on his alarm so he had over slept, he had a quick breakfast and rushed out the door. He was not even paying attention to any commotion as he tried to get to work as quick as he could. Once there he parked and rushed inside. Thankfully school had not started yet so he still had some time. He made his way to the staff room, he wanted some tea to calm his nerves. when he entered the room Julian was there and staring at the TV in the break room. His back was to Levi so he could not see his expression. " Maaan.... I forgot to turn my alarm on... Had to rush here to get here before school starts.." Levi grumbled as he started to make his tea.

[Lepa]

"Unless the idiots who did this plan on attackin' us right now, we ain't exactly busy or nothin'," Casey offered with a shrug. He then twirled his finger around dismissively. "If people got a problem with us, then they can fight us. I ain't got time for this mysterious symbol BS." He crossed his arms with a small huff.

"Yeah. After all, Boss doesn't like thinking too hard," Ricky chimed in with a grin. Casey knew he'd walked right into the insult, but he went and shoved the other man anyway.

Amidst the small commotion, a wary head poked out of the warehouse. He paused, squinting, then sighed in relief. With a swish of his long coat, he stepped out and briskly walked toward them.

"Oh, thank god," The man let out a breathy sigh, his shoulders dropping as he a mental weight lifted from him. "Looks like everyone's okay."

"...Switch..." Omega frowned. "...Have you been awaiting our arrival...?"

"Oh, shit. Yeah, we've been standing out here for like, the last 5-10 minutes. Sorry about that," Riki scratched as his head.. "I know you told us to come, but I didn't expect to see you here so early..."

"Yeah... And besides!" Ricky shrugged. "Why wouldn't we be okay?"

"You haven't seen the graffiti?" There was a concerned urgency in Switch's voice. He glanced aside at the wall where the symbol was, only to see it was gone. Ah... Omega must've removed it already, he thought. Switch shook his head. "It's all over the place."

"Yeah. Sunny said the same thing," Casey motioned towards her with his head. "Omega said it belongs to some idiot gang called the Black Dragons."

"I... suppose you could call them that," He frowned. "It's just, well... It was before your time, but... we've fought them before." He shot a worried glance toward Omega, who remained silent.

"Wait, seriously?" Casey crossed his arms in thought. "How come y'all ain't never told me...?"

Anxious, Switch pressed his lips together, cautiously glancing around. "...Well, now's a good time as ever. Come on. I'll tell the rest of you inside." He gestured to the others, leading the group into their warehouse. Switch took a seat, crossing his arms and legs as everyone else got settled. He stared at the floor pensively before he started speaking again.

"...You guys all know that Ammo Clan isn't really out to hurt anyone. Not on purpose. It wasn't like that then, and it isn't like that now," he prefaced, glancing up at Casey. It wasn't fair to compare him to Aedan, but Switch thought he'd done a good job at carrying on his legacy. He gave him a brief nod, then continued. "But those guys... the Black Dragons..." Switch grimaced, shaking his head. "They're violent criminals, the sort that get drunk off of power. It didn't matter who they went after, so long as they could get their way."

Casey leaned back in his seat. "...And I'm guessin' they thought Ammo Clan would be an easy conquest?"

"...Not quite. They didn't even know us," Switch sighed. "...For one, the fight didn't happen here. We went out for food or something, and we just happened to be nearby when the Dragons started acting up on some people." He frowned. "Aedan did what he did best and offered them a challenge himself, but..." He shook his head. "They weren't exactly interested in friendly competition." Switch frowned again. "Then one of them said they recognized Aedan as some hero's ally-"

"That's news to me."

"Yeah, same. We figured they were just looking to make up any reason to fight, so things got pretty dicey. You know Jack and X-Cali don't back down from a challenge, and Aedan always seemed to know more than he let on, but... Some of those other guys had powers, and they weren't afraid to use them." He glanced aside. "...Or abuse them, is more like it."

"...Hmph."

"One of them... I think he might've been their ringleader? He had some kind of explosive energy sphere power," Switch lifted a hand and curled his fingers for emphasis. "I know he set at least one of them off, and..."

"Tch," Omega grit his teeth at the memory. "It knocked me clean out." The OHaras both shot up.

"What?!"

"You survived an explosion?!"

"Don't be so hasty," Omega sneered, crossing his arms. "I wouldn't be so ashamed if that was the case." He glanced aside, bristling at the thought. "It was the blunt force of a wall that knocked me out, not the explosion."

"But... Th-that force is still caused by a shockwave, dude!" Riki protested. "That's still part of an explosion! That's....!"

"Man, that ain't nothing to be ashamed of!" Ricky clenched his fists excitedly. "It's kind of, uhhh, what's the word? Badass?"

"Psh," Omega bristled again, still clearly bitter. "Becoming dead weight for your allies in a fight isn't exactly "badass."

"You weren't dead weight, though I'd prefer it over dead," Switch interjected, then continued. "...Which is what Aedan thought had happened. He only saw a smoldering pile of rubble and thought Omega died," he grimaced. "I... I think at that point the fight was already in our favor, but Aedan's fury definitely had a big part in finishing it..."

"Aedan? Mad...?" Casey raised his brows. Aedan losing his cool was almost unheard of, but if he thought one of his friends had died... "...Yeah. I wouldn't blame him. I'd lose my shit, too." He sighed. "...So that's why you were worried about them tags, huh... Hell, I'd be too if I made enemies with a guy whose power was blowing shit up..."

"(...Why're you looking at me?)"

"(...Bro, you know exactly why.)"

"...If they're truly active again, I'm hoping it's just a coincidence they tagged this warehouse," Switch murmured. "Even if we fought them off in the past, I don't want to see that sort of power thrown around here..."

"...Wouldja say the rest of them were as dangerous as that explosion guy, or...?" Casey asked, trying to get more of a gauge on the group.

Switch shook his head. "In power? No. Maybe morally, yes, but power wise, he was the biggest threat. Like, I'm pretty sure that guy was their leader, but... It's also been years." He shrugged. "...Who knows how much the group has changed since then."

[Yuki]

Well not being told to go Sunny decided to stay, she was very interested in what Switch was gonna say about the Black dragons. So she followed the guys as they went inside. She would then listen to the story about how ruthless the Black dragons where and how they ended up fighting them and Omega getting badly hurt. This was bad... If that evil of a gang was coming back to the streets not only it would be a danger to Yuki but to everyone... Taylor and the others, they already had so much to deal with they did not need a evil gang added on to it.. She would have to look into things, perhaps find a black dragon member and follow them around till they would lead her to their hideout.

When it seemed Switch was done with telling the history of what happened Sunny then stepped forward.

" Guess I am going to have to track these guys down and get info. These guys sound really bad and will be a danger to everyone, My maker, Taylor and the others and you guys.. Yeah I can't just stand around and do nothing. Any info I find I will share with you guys." Sunny said with a confident smile. This was her job after all, gathering info secretly. Sunny would contact Silver later together they would be able to track down these Black Dragons.
