CHAPTER VI - Orm

[ edited ]

THE COLD AIR swept their skin as they walked quietly towards the old HIRUSHI warehouse. No one at the HIRUSHI's member expected that somebody would attack them, nor dare to do that knowing it might have already spread throughout the Underground about them joining. They are watched over by their faithful companion, as they say.

The Bird looked at them and signaled them to split up into 3. Ostrich leads the left group, while Owl leads the right group. Hawk assists her leader in the middle. 

"Ostrich?" said the Bird.

"Ready."

"...you?"

"As always," Owl confidently replied.

The Bird sighed strongly---ready to concentrate her mind and clear the negative possibilities that were invading her.

She knows what's about to happen. And she knows that after this battle, it would've been a mess knowing that the other groups might have known that her group, HERMES, finally stepped out of their comfortable base and started to be their usual form of a gang. It's been a long time since they fought with any other gang after the incident. Losing her focus is one of the things she's worried about right now.

I just wished I wouldn't.

"On the count of three. One..."

"Two..."

"...three."

HERMES member rashly runs inside the enemy's base, surprising the members of the HIRUSHI since they didn't expect somebody, mostly the HERMES gang would make a surprise or plan an attack on them.

They immediately got up from their chairs and didn't hesitate for a second to attack their enemy but the HERMES member quickly got to them first, not letting the HIRUSHI member start their counter-attack on them as they remembered what their leader informed them before they began.

"Never let any of the HIRUSHI members get to you. If you immediately saw the difference in their movements? Never hesitate to finish them off. They are not the same HIRUSHI gang we knew of."

And as their leader told them, the movements of HIRUSHI members are surprisingly far more different than before.

They are not the same HIRUSHI group that would force their counter-attack and get their position screwed up. They don't care about cooperation whatsoever. If they get attacked, the word cooperation means nothing to their knowledge. But now they are cooperating---giving careful thought to what they should do next.

Bird and Hawk immediately look at each other, run to the long rectangular wooden table, and leap over it.

Hawk kicked the man's back leg to throw his balance away and punched him in his left chin to knock him off.
