Hanma chuckled maniacally, his laughter resonating with a touch of madness. "Hehe, looks like fate today is in my hands. If I kill you two here, Toman's strength will decline, and we can easily take over."
Takemichi, undeterred, responded with a calm defiance, "I don't think fate is in your hands because now I'm here to help them."
As the tension heightened, Hanma's eyes gleamed with an unsettling insanity, and he turned, along with Draken and Mitsuya, to witness the unexpected arrival of Takemichi and Inupi.
Hanma sneered with a crazed delight, "Hmm, who are you? Are you a delinquent too?"
Draken, alarmed, shouted, "Oii, Takemichi! What are you doing here? Get out of here now!"
Mitsuya, pointing at Takemichi, inquired, "You know him, Draken?"
Draken, with reluctant acknowledgment, responded, "Unfortunately, yes."
Takemichi, seizing the moment with a touch of madness himself, proudly declared, "Inupi, looks like we're famous enough."
Inupi, with a hint of sarcasm, commented, "Ahh, I don't think we were because they don't even know you."
Takemichi chuckled, "Aaah! You're right."
In the midst of their banter, the scene was disrupted by the sudden roar of approaching bikes.
Hanma, reveling in the chaos, questioned with a maniacal glint, "Hmm, what are they doing here?"
Takemichi seized the opportunity to inquire, "Are you...?"
Inupi proudly affirmed, "Yes, sir! I want everyone to know who we are."
Kokonoi added with a smirk, "Black Dragon members are now here, fuckers!"
Taiju, relishing the madness, remarked, "Looks like some fuckers are here for a party."
Draken, confused, exclaimed, "Black Dragon! Oii, Takemichi, how do you know them?"
Kokonoi, handing Takemichi his black jacket, revealed their identity, "Here! Black Dragon members, now led by Takemichi."
Mitsuya, struggling to comprehend, questioned, "What the hell is going on? You're the leader?"
Amidst the chaotic banter, Valhalla and Black Dragon exchanged heated remarks, setting the stage for a clash.
Takemichi, fueled by a touch of madness and a sense of justice, confronted Hanma about the reprehensible actions of Valhalla members. His cold inquiry hung in the air, "I hear that some of your members raped a girl. Are you a human or a monster?"
The tense moment erupted as Takemichi delivered a decisive kick, challenging Hanma to acknowledge his strength.
Hanma, despite the pain, smirked defiantly, "Damm! That hurts. You're really strong."
Takemichi, undeterred, slammed Hanma's face to the ground, leaving Valhalla members in disbelief at their leader's vulnerability.
As the fight reached its climax, blood stained the ground, and Takemichi's fists were marked with the consequence of each powerful blow. Valhalla members, fueled by desperation and a touch of madness, fought back fiercely, but the skill and determination of Black Dragon proved overwhelming.
Amidst the brutal exchange, Takemichi taunted with a mad glint in his eyes, "Is this the best Valhalla can offer? Weak!"
Hanma, struggling to stand, retorted, "You'll regret this, Takemichi."
The distant wail of approaching police sirens heightened the urgency. Takemichi, recognizing the imminent threat, shouted to his members, "We need to wrap this up. The police are on their way!"
Valhalla members, alarmed by the encroaching authorities and the touch of madness in the air, dispersed, leaving the scene to avoid arrest.
In the aftermath, Hanma, still recovering from the beating, sneered at Takemichi, "This won't be the end, Takemichu. We'll settle this another time."
Takemichi, standing tall amidst the dissipating chaos, responded with unwavering resolve, "I'll be waiting. Just remember, Black Dragon stands against injustice."
With the looming threat of police intervention and the echoes of madness fading away, Takemichi signaled his members to retreat. Black Dragon dissolved into the night.
In the aftermath, Takemichi gathered Draken, Mitsuya, and Peh, leading them to a more secluded area. To their surprise, Mikey, driving his bike with breakneck speed, arrived, skidding to a halt to join them.
Mikey ran towards them, concern etched on his face.
Mikey - "Draken, Mitsuya, Peh, are you alright?"
Draken - "Yeah, we are. It's all thanks to Takemichi."
Mitsuya - "Yeah..."
Mikey, learning about the situation through Emma and aware of the attack on Draken and Mitsuya by Valhalla, was genuinely concerned. He arrived slightly late, and his words carried a mix of relief and guilt.
Mikey, about to express his gratitude, noticed Takemichi's displeased expression. He hesitated, sensing something amiss.
Takemichi, with a hint of disappointment, addressed Mikey, "Late, as always. Your friends were in danger, and you didn't show up on time."
Mikey -....
Takemichi, unimpressed, replied, "You should be more aware of your gang's affairs. It's not just a matter of being a leader; it's about being responsible for those who follow you."
Mikey, taking in Takemichi's words, felt a sense of guilt. The weight of leadership weighed on his shoulders.
Amidst the charged emotions, Peh stepped forward, realizing his own part in the chaos. "I need to apologize too. I never wanted things to escalate this far. I'm sorry for dragging Black Dragon into this mess."
Takemichi, acknowledging the apology, said, "Just make sure it doesn't happen again. We don't need unnecessary trouble."
The group, now under the flickering streetlights, faced the aftermath of their clash with Valhalla. The night held a mix of relief, tension, and a subtle shift in the dynamics between Toman and Black Dragon.
