29. arrival

Motorcycles roared as Toman arrived to Yokohama Bay 7th Wharf, where they were to clash against Tenjiku.

"TOMAN HAS ARRIVED!"

"EVERYONE! GATHER AROUND!" Chifuyu exclaimed, ordering Toman.

Ahead of Toman were, Takemichi, Chifuyu, Hakkai, Inui, Peh, Angry and Ayumu. On the opposite side, the Haitani brothers, Koko, Kakucho, Sanzu, and Izana stood firmly.

Ayumu looked up at the slender figure who stood above, "Kisaki." He muttered.

"That bastard... Of course he's just standing there, watching." Chifuyu spat.

"He's that type of guy." Ayumu added.

Chifuyu was upset, "It's as if we can't reach him unless we defeat Tenjiku." He paused for a moment, "He really had this all throughly planned out, huh."

"400 MEMBERS OF TENJIKU VERSUS 50 MEMBERS OF TOMAN!" Izana scoffed, "HOW'LL YOU HANDLE THIS CLEAR DISADVANTAGE?" Izana paused, and laughed, "DO ENTERTAIN US TOMAN!"

Laughter and taunts were heard from Tenjiku.

"You go first Shion!" Izana said.

An unattractive guy stepped up, half of his head was shaved off and his remaining hair was all over the place.

He maniacally smiled, "TODAY'S FORERUNNER WILL BE ME!" His smile grew bigger, "FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE BLACK DRAGONS! TENJIKU FOUR HEAVENLY KINGS! MADARANE SHION!"

"Motherfucker all bark not bite." Ayumu muttered furiously. "I wanna beat the shit out of that fucker."

Chifuyu stretched his arm out in front of Ayumu, "Keep your calm. You can't fight him."

"WHO WILL TOMAN SEND?"

"Forerunner? What does that mean?" Takemichi asked, gaining murmurs from Toman.

"It's the S-62 infamous ritual. They liven' up the battle by starting with a 1-on-1 fight." Yamagishi said.

Ayumu was eager to be the forerunner, until Chifuyu shot him a glance, ruining any chances of becoming the forerunner.

Takemichi stood up, "I see. Since I took the lead for today's battle. It should be me!"

"CMON STOP JOKING AROUND TOMAN!" Shion yelled out, bursting into obnoxious laughter, "Mikey, Draken, Mitsuya and Smiley! Not even one of your MVP's are around! And no one's around to be the forerunner too?!"

"Your oppenent... will be me." Peh stated as he stood in front of Shion, fearless.

"PEH!" Takemichi gasped.

"Today, you're acting as president. So step back." Peh said. "Tokyo Manji Gang, Acting 3rd Division Captain. Hayashi Ryouhei."

Shion stared dead into Peh's eyes, "Whatever! I can finish all of Toman by myself."

"This 1-on-1 fight is important. The winning team will get a huge morale boost." Chifuyu said.

"Whichever member wins this fight, their gang wouod most likely win the battle as well." Ayumu added, Chifuyu agreed.

"So you've realized why this fight is important, huh... Shion is Tenjiku's top 'Mad Dog'" Izana chuckled.

"GO SHION!"

"That dude looks lifeless already."

"DON'T GET ALL SCARED TOMAN!"

"You can do it Peh!" Ayumu silently cheered, Takashi had mentioned something about him before.

"You know, after all this time you were talking..." Peh said, his eyes adverting to his victims face.

He threw a hard punch on Shion's face, his whole face mushed together on one side, before he fell down straight to the floor.
