[POV:Issen]
After the fight, a kid walked up to me. Kid is an exaggeration, he was around my age. He seemed like he's been through a lot, I can tell from the way he looked at me. When he walked towards me he seemed curious, that curiosity faded into nothing. He looked like he no longer felt human emotion. I then spoke to him "Yes?"
[POV:Akio]
This guy was the leader of this gang. He seemed like he was doing well for himself, Akio actually wanted to try and befriend this guy. Ya know, get on his good side, finally have an actual friend. "That fight was amazing. Especially you and that other guy."
[Dialogue]
Issen: Oh you saw that, makes sense on why you're talking to me now. I'm Issen by the way, the leader.
Akio:So I was right? Cool, my names Akio, I actually come from a village called thorngrave, it's pretty far from here
Issen:Never heard of it... my buddy you were talking about is the Vice Leader, his name is Verlius, he is the second strongest in this whole gang.
Akio:Oh that's cool. I was surprised you guys ended up winning, so he-
Verlius: he bursted into the room "ISSEN GET OUT HERE NOW!"
Issen:"What's going on?! Gimme a second Akio I gotta check this out." He then walked out to see what happened.
[POV: Nobody]
The duo walked out into the open road, seeing all their gang members on the ground wounded. As one man stood above them all. Holding his face, hiding his smile, it was very obvious this man was no joke
[POV: Akuma]
He stood above all the bodies of these gang members as he saw the leader come outside. "ISSEN IT HAS BEEN SO LONG! SAME GOES TO YOU VERLIUS!" He said as he started to laugh in an insane manner. He then dropped down in front of the duo baring a switchblade.
[POV: Issen]
When I saw the man who took out my whole gang on his own, my jaw had dropped. It was fucking Akuma, he was in our gang 6 months ago. He was too insane and started killing people, we didn't make this gang to become a bunch of murders. So we kicked him out. I then calmed myself and collected my thoughts "What the hell do you think you are doing Akuma. They're not dead are they?" I already had a feeling they were, knowing Akuma.
[Dialogue]
Akuma: Welllllll maybe half of them are, and more if the injuries are deadly :)
Issen:You bastard... you've ruined everything I tried so desperately hard to build!
Akuma:I did? Oh I guess I just never noticed. Kidding! I just... don't give a fuck.
Verlius: he hadn't talked the whole time. He was just listening to them conversate, so he then ran in and punched Akuma in the face sending him to the ground. "HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT ISSEN LIKE THAT! YOU LOW CLASS HUMAN!"
Akuma: "GOOD SHOT VERLIUS" he said as he stood up laughing and clapping. "NOW I GET TO KILL A VICE LEADER!"
Verlius: Just go ahead and try it bastard...
[POV: Nobody]
Akuma then dashed at Verlius, in a mere second he stood behind him. His speed allegedly is unmatched. He then used his switchblade and spin around trying to stab Verlius in the side of his head.
Verlius ducked instantly, his speed was greater than Akumas in every way. He quickly did a spin around on the ground and sweeps Akuma beneath his feet sending him to the ground as he then sent a kick flying at his face before getting up. This would send Akuma into a wall.
Issen had watched the fight end up being over in a matter of seconds. That's his vice leader for you. "Good shit Verlius. Now the guards will be here soon. We should get out of here, there's nothing left of this gang. Also I met a guy named Akio, he seemed pretty interesting so let's go get him." He said as he ran back to the room he left Akio in.
Verlius brushed himself off while listening to Issen talk, he didn't want the gang to end but he had a feeling those members won't be coming back, especially the ones who are still alive but are now afraid of Akuma. He was now interested when he heard about Akio, some random guy actually walked up to the leader of the 2nd ward Zeffari gang. This kid must've been new or plain crazy. He then started to follow Issen as some guards showed up on the scene, there were a lot of them too. A quarter of the guards split off to chase the duo as they ran off to Akio.
[Dialogue]
Issen: He bursted into the room "YO AKIO WE CAN TALK LATER BUT NOW WE SHOULD LEAVE!" He said as he jumped through the window, it wasn't high up so he just landed on the ground and continued to make a break for it.
Verlius: He followed after him "GUARDS ARE HERE COME ON!" He said as he jumped through the window.
Akio: He immediately jumped up "Wait what happened-" he was cut off as guards rushed in. Akio was quick to react and jumped through the window immediately, following the duo.
[POV: Nobody]
The boys dashed all the way to an alleyway cutting away from the guards. The guards don't know their full facial features. But it would be dangerous to go out onto that street right now.
[Dialogue]
Issen: He panted hard as he spoke "Verlius Akio, Akio Verlius. Now since the guards have seen us, we should get to the small boat by the river. It leads out into the ocean and we can get the hell out of here
Verlius:But what about your mom?
Issen:She will be fine, a search party will most likely be created but as long as no harm comes to her we will be alright.
Akio:Woah woah woah, we are already leaving? Does this make us friends or something now?
Issen:Something like that I guess
Verlius: For the time being we are Associates
Akio: That makes sense, but why do I gotta go with you guys
Issen:I can tell you've been through something traumatic, I wanna know more about your life, so i'm asking you to come with us, there is a city out there not too far from this village, it'll be a 30-40 minute trip since the boat is just a rowboat.
Akio:I see... well I am all for it, I have nothing else to do.
Issen: Great let's go'
[POV:Nobody]
The boys put their hoods of their jackets over their faces. It concealed their identity as they went to the boats by the river. Akio paid for one of the boats as he jumped onto it. It was a rowboat, that's all he could afford, he had a good amount of money but he wasn't going to waste it all on a boat. Issen understood, his idea was to just steal one but this was better. They all rode down the river on the rowboat out into the sea, and onto the next location.
