  You four had walked for quite some time when you had seen the train station in the distance. "There." You pointed. They saw. You lit a square and kept on truckin'. You looked over at Ajax, who was behind you all on the walk. "Hey." You slowed down.

He looked over at you, eyebrow cocked. "I kept it." You said, taking his vest out of your bag, handing it to him. He looked down at it hesitantly, but grabbed it and threw it on. "Thanks." He muttered. You could tell he was shameful of leaving his brothers behind, so you left it alone.

You arrived at the station a short time later, opening the doors to an empty scene. "I was hoping we'd see them by now." Cowboy breathed. "They'll be here." Vermin said, pushing him forward.

You walked down a flight of stairs, followed by Cowboy, Vermin, and lastly Ajax who was walking behind you. When you neared the bottom, you saw them. Not all, but Cochise and Rembrandt were there. "Where's the rest of them?" You whispered to Vermin. "Yeah, right." he said.

You approached them. They looked rough. "Wheres everybody else?" Rembrandt asked. You four shrugged, shaking your heads. "We better go look for them." Cowboy said, walking past. You all followed suit.

You walked on for a few minutes, but none of you saw any sign of the others. You stopped to take a swig from your bottle that remained unscathed from the Hurricane rumble. "Give me a taste of that." Ajax demanded, as he put a tight hand on your shoulder and spun you around to face him. "Quiet." Rembrandt whispered. Ajax looked over your shoulder to Rembrandt. "What did you-." Ajax started angrily, but Rembrandt put his finger to his lips, then pointed down a stairwell.

You all listened closely and could hear what sounded like wheels on the floor below. You all looked at one another in silence, unsure of what to make of it.

You decided to scout for them. You walked down the stairs slowly, unsure of what would be there to meet you. When you had almost reached the bottom, when feet of a young woman and three men came into view.

You took a few more steps down, and looked up to see they belonged to Mercy, Swan, Snow, and Fox. You sighed with relief, and went to walk towards them, but they quickly shook their heads.

Swan looked at you, and gestured to the left of the tunnel. You looked carefully around the wall, and saw three boys in overalls standing there. It was a rival gang from what you guessed; matching uniforms.

You looked back at Swan, who motioned for you to head through the men's washroom down the other side. You looked up where you had walked from to let the others know, and saw Ajax already a couple steps down the flight of stairs. He and the rest of them were staring back down at you in anticipation.

You placed your finger on your lips to keep them quiet, and beckoned them to follow you. They looked confused, but obeyed.

As they walked down the stairs and made eye contact with Swan and the others, they realized the situation and followed you down into the washroom doorway. A moment later you heard the door open and looked to see Fox, Snow, Swan and Mercy walk in. "We'll hide in the stalls. When they come in, we bust down the doors and give them all we got." Swan said. He looks tired, you thought, but angrier than ever.

You looked around watching the boys' faces. Rembrandt and Mercy seemed afraid, but everyone else seemed ready. You weren't sure what you felt, and looked to Ajax for reassurance. "You're with me." He grumbled, grabbing your wrist. He led you into one of the stalls closest to the door.

Rembrandt was in the first one closest to the door, then you and Ajax in the next, Snow, Vermin, Cowboy, Cochise, Fox, and then Swan and Mercy were in the last. You put your bag down on the back of the toilet and threw Cowboy's bloodied shirt over you. You heard the door to the bathroom creak open, followed by the wheeling over the cement floor. The silence that followed was unnerving, as you heard the light footsteps cease.

It felt like you had been waiting for eternety, even though you knew it had only been a matter of seconds. Ajax was bouncing up and down excited for the rumble.

Then you heard Rembrandt's door heave open, followed by his spay can hissing. The fight had started.

Ajax kicked the stall door in front of him, almost knocking it off its hinges.

All around you, bodies were moving, leaving you and Mercy to watch in the doorways of the stalls. Vermin begun swinging punches at one of the Punks, as Cochise to his left had thrown one to the floor. Snow begun hitting one with his bat, while Swan was ducking punches. Cowboy too, had a bat, and jammed it into his attacker's ribs. Unfortunately, Ajax had opened his stall to the tallest and most beastly of them all outside his door. He looked up in disbelief, and the Punk took a swing. You heard Fox get thrown through a door, while Swan used his door to jump and kick his attacker. He took mercy and threw her into your stall. He ducked just in time as his attacker swung a bat over his head, missing and smashing the stall wall right near your and Mercy.

Cochise knocked another boy to the ground with one punch, and Vermin jumped, tackling and jumping on top of one of the boys. You looked to Ajax who had been knocked off his feet onto his back by the brute. stupidity came over you, as you leapt over Ajax and kicked the Punk in the crotch as hard as you could.

He keeled over in pain, and Ajax got up, throwing you hard behind him again. "No!" He barked at you, through a bloody lip. His eyes were filled with rage. He turned back around, kneeing the Punk in the face.

You looked to your right as Rembrandt got clocked in the face, by the leader on blades. He was short, so it took no effort when Ajax came to his aid and lifted him off his feet, throwing him against the wall. Mercy to your left now, pulled the hair of a nearby fallen Punk, biting him in the shoulder. He yelped and took a shot at her, knocking her back into the stall again. You reached over hooked him in the nose with your right fist.

Vermin had taken his opponent near the sinks, and landed a punch in his stomach. Unfortunately though, the beastly Punk was recovered from you and Ajax's attack, and grabbed Vermin from behind; punching him in the gut, and throwing him into a sink. Ajax and Snow nearby saw this, and fumed. Snow took his bat, swinging it at the giants stomach. The Punk flew back into the sinks, as two others came up behind him, throwing him into the wall. The second guy took Snow's fallen bat, and swung it at Ajax' head. Who ducked in time, and the bat collided with the tile.

The Punk's nose you had punched had turned around and smacked Mercy in the face, then punched you in the side of the face. You fell to the ground hard, holding for your right cheek.

A heavy mass then sat on top of you, as you looked up to the Punk grabbing your wrists away from your face. Swan ran over to help you Mercy and Rembrandt, but a Punk grabbed him from behind, pinning down his arms; while another punched him in the stomach, winding him.

Ajax had grabbed the bat that hit just over his head, and knocked the Punk in the face with the handle. A second guy ran up, and Ajax cracked him in the face with the other end.

While Swan was getting punched in the gut, the Punk holding his arms ducked away, as Cowboy grabbed the other and punched him in the face. Cochise then took that Punk, and ran him into the tiled walls, while Snow threw one's face into the wooden stall.

Rembrandt and Mercy remained on the floor cowering, as you were trapped underneath the guy. Ajax saw this and side-tackled the guy off of you, brawling on the floor. You sat up quick, seeing Cochise grab chains from a Punks hand, chocking him with it and flipping him over. Swan was still being beaten, when Snow jumped in and punched the side of the Punks head, knocking him sideways.

Cowboy ran to Rembrandt, Mercy, and you to help, when the leader leaped in front of him. He went to kick Cowboy in the face, but Cowboy jumped out of the way, and the Punk's rollerblade got stuck through the stall. Cowboy grabbed the leaders arm, and punched his face, so hard he fell, smacking his face against the floor.

Fox was finishing off one of his own, and ran to Vermin; who has still been knocked out from the throw. Snow swung at one with a bat, breaking it on impact. Swan ducked out a punch, and threw the guy into the stall, upside down.

The fight finally died down and people were groaning around on the bathroom floor. Mercy and Rembrandt had remained on the floor sitting in shock, as you slowly stood up, and walked over to the stall to throw over Cowboys shirt, and grab your bag.

Cowboy walked over to help lift Vermin with Fox's help, as Swan looked around making sure everyone was alright. Snow and Cochise fist bumped one another, as Ajax spat on an unconscious Punk. "Bunch of wimps." He croaked.
