|Weak Hero| Of Fangs and Claws

Chapter 7

"What?" Donald blinked and stared at Ben. 

"I said," Ben repeated. "We'll help fight Manwol,"

"Why?" Donald asked. "Did you finally decide to join the Union?"

"No," Ben declined. "But even if Myles himself hasn't directly attacked me and my friends, members of Manwol have been causing trouble for us,"

"Manwol attacked you guys?" Donald inquired.

"Eugene is an easy target and he got attacked once," Ben informed. "We beat up the ones who hurt him and made sure that Eugene is never alone when outside now. Manwol has also tried attacking the others too. None of them tried to directly go after me since I'm guessing Myles thinks his gang is no match against me. But I've heard that he's been recruiting more and more of the old Manwol and people who aren't affiliated with the Union. He also recruited some Union extras that left while you were gone,"

"Manwol thinks they're the top dog since I wasn't present in the Union for an entire year," Donald said. "This battle won't be the same as the ones you've fought. It's not only about winning, it's about making a statement. You already know the Union is full of bad guys so are you sure you're not going to regret fighting alongside us?"

"I just want Manwol to leave my friends alone," Ben told him. "Manwol needs to be taken down,"

"Did you even discuss this with the rest of your group?" Donald questioned. "They'll most likely be against it,"

"Actually we're all tired of dealing with Manwol," Alex spoke up. "You've already publicly declared that the Union can't mess with Eunjang so as much as I still don't like it, it's better to have the Union be the ruling gang instead of Manwol,"

It was finally D-Day, the day that Donald decided the Union would strike Manwol. He had instructed everyone to gather at the gymnasium where they had gathered before on the day they had attack Manwol previously.

"Good," Donald walked onto stage. "Everyone is here,"

The Eungang followed Donald onto stage. Eugene was not a fighter so he stayed back at Alex's house to keep Gray and Ariel company. The Union members were shocked to see Eunjang and began to murmur amongst themselves, wondering if Eunjang had finally decided to join their ranks.

"I know you're all confused as to why Eunjang is here," Donald announced. "They are going to be our temporary ally during this fight against Manwol. They have not joined the Union. We just share a common enemy,"

Jimmy Bae was envious. He wanted to be acknowledged by Donald Na. Yet for some reason, immediately after his return, Donald found Eunjang to be worthy enough to be considered an ally of the Union? Why didn't Donald just get rid of them like all of his other enemies? Jimmy didn't understand at all what Ben did to gain Donald's attention since Donald absolutely destroyed Ben during their fight back in middle school.

"Let's head over to Manwol's headquarters," Donald ordered.

By the way, the Mokha Duo were also still there but since they didn't really prove themselves in this timeline, they're just non-executive members who attend Yeo-Il. Dongha especially still had a pretty cruel reputation due to bullying other students but since they never beat Myles Joo like they did in the webtoon, they aren't really known outside of Yeo-Il.

Manwol was expecting them. Myles and Scorpion still kept up with the Shuttle Patch as well as kept an ear out for any useful information ever since Donald's public return. The gang was armed with metal bats, crowbars, and even knives.

"So you're alive after all," Myles smirked. "I'm gonna make you regret coming back. You should've just laid low after escaping from wherever the hell you were kept,"

Donald lunged at him, which surprised everyone. Usually he would give some sort of signal to start the fight. Donald's path to Myles was intercepted by some Manwol nobodies, but they were easily knocked out with a few punches or kicks.

Myles swung his bat at Donald's head. Donald ducked in time and uppercutted him. He didn't stop there and quickly followed with a punch to the exposed throat. All of the fights in that hellhole had made him stronger and faster, even without accessing his lion traits. He refused to give Myles an opening and delivered blow after blow.

One of Donald's kicks sent him flying a couple feet. The distance allowed Myles time to draw his two knives. He charged at Donald and had intended to cut him but he ended up stabbing one of his knives into Donald's shoulder.

"Fuck!" Myles cursed upon realizing how bad of a wound he had caused. He didn't want to kill Donald!

Everyone had noticed Donald had gotten stabbed and was beginning to freak out. "Myles you went too far!"

"Too far?" Donald seemed completely unfazed and unbothered by the knife in his shoulder and he walked towards Myles. "You fuckers are using knives. Someone is bound to get stabbed," He grabbed Myles by his throat and lifted him a few inches off the ground. "Do you want to know why this doesn't bother me at all?"

Myles began to struggled to breathe as Donald tightened his grip. "L-Let go..."

"The hellhole I've been trapped in was a million times worse!" Donald's grip got even tighter.

"Donald!" Kingsley ran over to him. "That's enough. Let him go or you'll kill him,"

"So what if I kill him?" Donald's question silenced the entire battlefield. His grip tightened even more.

"You don't have to go that far," Kingsley shook his head. "Let him go, Donald,"

"And then what!?" Donald snapped. "He'll just gather more people and attack the Union again! Look what happened when I let him go with just a broken leg! I should just end things once and for all!"

"The Union doesn't kill. We're not that type of gang," Kingsley told him. "We beat people up, but we don't kill them. Let him go, Donald,"

"Donald," Ben gently placed a hand on Donald's shoulder. "Come on, man. Let him go and then let's head back. Gray's waiting for you,"

"Cub..." Donald sighed before letting Myles go before the latter could pass out. "Myles, you're lucky that you're leaving alive. If you try anything again, they won't be able to stop me,"

"The battle is over!" Kingsley announced. "The Union has won!"

Everyone was too shocked by what had just transpired to cheer.

Donald's been stabbed and cut multiple times when fighting against other experiments.
