“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.”
– Margaret Thatcher
HOPE
Corrupt.
This is the reality of being a gangster.
Every time you punch your fist in air, it's already symbolizes chaos. That's the harsh reality. It's either you'll give up everything for peace of mind or win for the justice you wanted.
Think about it. How can we even have a peace of mind if we can't have the justice?
Being a gangster is not that easy.
We are known for our criminal activities, violent demeanour, vicious vitality and other amiss actions. But there are these ten percent over one hundred of gangsters that is exact opposite, and we, the Seven Shadows are one of them.
We're different from them.
Behind of this shadow, I first suffered from pain. There is no such cure but to continue fighting. Dahil kung hihinto ka, the more painful punch you'll get, the more wounds you'll get.
And I did. I never quit fighting until it becomes my friend, my remedy.
The trail of pain and sorrow I had received are still fresh in my soul that is why I chose to become a fighter.
Sa apat na taon kong pakikipagbakbakan wala akong ibang inisip kundi ang paghandaan ang paghaharap namin ng Luna na siya mismong gumawa sa kung sino ako ngayon.
Mga halimaw na siyang naging dahilan kung bakit ako naging isang kagaya nila.

MALAKAS na hiyawan ang namamayani ngayon dito sa loob ng main underground fighting arena pagpasok pa lang ng leader ng Stardust Extreme sa loob ng battle ring.
"Stardust. They are staring at us," singhal ni Harley.
Kasalukuyan naman akong nakatingin sa mga Stardust na nasa kabilang bahagi ng ring. Mataman kaming nagkatinginan ng mga kasamahan ni Cyrus gayundin sina Dylan na nasa likuran ko lang.
Pagkatapos ng announcement ng mga bagong sektor at ranggo ng iba't ibang gang na ginanap sa malawak na stadium ng underground arena kanina ay maraming dumeretso dito sa fighting arena para masaksihan ang laban namin ngayon ni Cyrus, ang leader ng Stardust Extreme.
"That was expected. They really move up to first sector. Halos ka-match na natin sila kahit na three months pa lang silang lumalaban," nakangising sabi ni Franco na pumukol sa tingin ko sa puwesto ng Stardust.
Pagkatapos umikot ni Cyrus sa loob ng battle ring ay pumuwesto ito sa isang corner malapit sa mga kasamahan niya.
"Sa tingin mo kaya mo bang patayin ang gagong 'yan sa loob ng ring?" malamig na tanong ni Dylan saka tumingin ng nakakaloko sa akin. "Sagabal lang sila sa plano natin. Paano nila nalaman na hinahanap natin ang Luna? Kailangan natin silang alisin dito."
Napalunok ako.
Tangina.
This monster is really something.
Nakakatakot siyang kausapin kapag ganito ang mood niya. He can kill people just using his deathly glare.
I've been a fighter for four years but there's never been a blood flow.
Inihahanda ko lang ang ang bagay na 'yon sa Luna at ang mastermind ng lahat ng nangyari. Ang puno't dulo ng lahat.
They are shit. They are the one who made this devil inside me.
BINABASA MO ANG
THAT MONSTER
