"I don't have any grandiose dreams or anything of that scale. But if you were to ask me what I truly want? As far as I'm concerned, I've always wanted to be a gangster"
"And I'll be your second in command, Boss"
"We'll always be together"
"Always"
And so we are back with Tyler as he is currently being put into front seat, well technically he's far away but as in a witness to this massive scale of brawl that is currently happening.
The two gangs, Ekalamosus Gang and MindCough Gang are beating the shit out of each other with neither sides yielding. Leading the charge for both factions are its leaders, Eet and Darren, who are currently in a stale position, figuring out the next move their opponent will make.
"Too scared to go for a charge you pussy" Darren taunts.
"Well yes I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer, but imma have to plan this better, something your bird brain can't comprehend shit doing" Eet replied back.
"Ho oh, attaboy" Darren replied.
Well that didn't lasted long anyways as Eet went for a direct charge. Like a raging bull going for the red flag, Eet charges at Darren at full speed, planning to tackle him.
Darren predicted this and as soon as Eet was close and ready to grab him, Darren delivers a massive punch that sent Eet to the ground.
"Predictable" Darren taunts.
Just before Darren could say another word, Eet rolled over quickly and drops Darren to the floor as well by kicking his shins which made the former lose his balance.
The two are in a stance where Eet is on top while Darren is on the bottom. Eet is going for a choke but Darren is using all of his strength to block this. It is noted that both of their eyes are intensely locked to each other.
"You know... from a distance those two looks like they're in a very passionate stance" Tyler remarks as he is watching the fight thoroughly.
"Shit, I got homework. Gotta go"
Tyler remembered as he quickly went home, away from the fighting scene. Not long after, sirens could be heard as police are coming after being notified.
As expected, the two gangs went packing to escape from the scene. Ekalamosus Gang is escaping by riding their tricycles. MindCough Gang is escaping through the river by riding their wooden boat. With no facial expressions other than intense staring at one another, Eet and Darren bid farewell to each other. They knew this is not the last time they will cross paths.
"Hey dipshit, this is never gonna end. Authorities will always interfere with our fight. How about we settle this in one way that they will never get in our way: a POTA Tournament" Darren suggested.
"Bet but we'll do it in a neutral ground. Bombsite, tomorrow at 9 AM" Eet agreed.
And with that folks, the stage is set for a tournament arc. Well, at least that's what made you believe because this story will take another turn. The night before the tournament match:
It was raining heavily and you can also hear the sound of the thunder as if a storm is approaching. Usually, it is calm before the storm but in this case, it's the other way around. Walking towards the alleyway is Eet, who is drenched in his raincoat. As he enters the alleyway, a familiar voice can be heard.
"You showed up"
Emerging from the dark is Darren, whom in contrast, was holding an umbrella.
"You know I do" Eet replied.
"I suppose so" Darren replied back.
The two men are standing face to face as the rain continuous to pour violently, opposite to the tone of the conversation between the two.
"Let's cut to the chase Eet, what do you want?" Darren asked.
"You know what I want... or rather we" Eet replied.
"I suppose that's worth having a conversation" Darren said.
"You know it's tough leading a gang man, lots of diplomacy and stuff" Eet ranted.
"I feel you, but isn't that what you always wanted?" Darren said.
"I know but it would easier if you were by my side, like you promised..." Eet said.
The rain stopped pouring and Darren's face is more visible now to Eet as he closes his umbrella. Eet removed the hood of his raincoat as well which his bald head shines the dark alley somehow.
"I think we're past that stage already monkey, there's no going back" Darren said.
"You know even though I know that's my call sign, you calling me monkey always gives me the ick. It's like it's lowkey racially motivated" Eet said.
"Oh shut up, really. You said far worse things when we play POTA. The stuff you said will get you canceled if I expose yo ass on Twitter man" Darren replied back.
The two had a light chuckle, which is kinda surprising given earlier in the story they were at each other throats remember. Back to the serious tone.
"Look I'm telling you, I said nothing about your mother alright, I must've been hacked or something. Either way, I'm sorry about that" Eet explained.
"Figured that early. You know her circumstances and no matter how much hatred we have for each other, I know you wouldn't stoop that low" Darren said.
"If that's the case, why we must fight? If you knew from the beginning, why escalate this whole thing?" Eet asked.
"Maybe I was looking for a reason to fight you. After all, there's still a part of me that hasn't forgiven you yet" Darren explained.
"And what about the other part?" Eet asked.
The vibes were getting emotional between the two gang leaders. It took a whole minute before Darren could say another word.
"Part of me says I should apologize... For what I have done... And especially for what I have to do yet" Darren said as he wipes his teary eye.
"What?"
Suddenly, a group of men emerged from the shadows of the alleyway. They surrounded Eet completely.
"What is the meaning of this Darren?" Eet being confused, asked.
"The POTA Tournament tomorrow shall decide our fate. Which of our gangs reign supreme. I know you Eet very well, you're relentless. You're gonna be a tough opponent to beat and I'm afraid once you locked in, there's no stopping you... Well, you're not stupid you get where I'm getting at" Darren explained.
"You snake bastard, you're not getting away from this!" Eet angrily exclaimed.
"I was surprised when you actually came, alone. I thought you were gonna bring some of your guys well. You were always honest to your word, that's what I like about you, you know? I'll have to thank you for that" Darren said.
The group of men, whom were part of the MindCough Gang started beating the shit out of Eet. They were taking turns in doing so. Eet is trying his best but he's heavily outnumbered.
"I'm afraid I must go, I need to prepare for the tournament tomorrow. Don't worry my friend, after my gang is done with you, I'll call one your men to pick you up in your bloody state. I'm not that heartless leaving you half dead alone in this dark alleyway" Darren said.
"You... are a monster..." Eet said as he's suffering from wounds but trying to maintain composure.
"Bye for now"
Even though Darren delivered his monologue as if he's some cartoonishly evil villain, his face says otherwise. He quickly left the scene via the same wooden boat from earlier which now has four wheels for some reason.
Not long after, the members of MindCough gang were also done with beating Eet and left the scene. Just as Darren said, a member of Ekalamosus Gang arrived at the scene. Daks, the right hand man of Eet witnessed the bloodied Eet lying on the floor helplessly. He would soon assist and fetch Eet to safety.
"Boss, what happened to you?" Daks asked.
Eet didn't uttered a single word but Daks already knew.
"Those damn bastards, they will pay. I'll call backup and we gon raid their base and end everything tonight!" Daks angrily said.
"No Daks, you must not" Eet ordered.
"But Boss, why?" Daks asked.
"We must proceed with the tournament. They know they're no match for us so they resorted with this. Not a word comes out from this alright?" Eet asked a favor.
"But even if we proceed Boss, we're missing a headcount for tomorrow. None of the other guys know how to play POTA" Daks worryingly said.
"Worry not, I'll be there tomorrow no matter what"
He is not there. The day of tournament arrived but Eet is nowhere in sight. The Ekalamosus Gang were beginning to feel anxious as their leader is not yet present.
"It's unusual for Bhoskz Eet Eet to be this late huh" a random gang member said.
"Yeah" Daks replied.
The random gang member had a hunch that something is not right the way Daks keeps fidgeting. He begans whispering to his other gang members then confronted Daks.
"Is there something you're not telling us Daks?" he asked.
Cornered, Daks was forced to confess everything that happened last night.
"WTF!" another random gang member reacted.
Tension is becoming high for the Ekalamosus Gang as they are near of crashing out.
"Hey hey chill the f out, he's good alright. He managed to sustain minor injuries but he's fine" Daks said.
"If that's the case, where is he right now?" gang member said.
"I don't know, he's not picking up his calls" Daks said.
"How bout we ditch the tournament thingie and just start whooping their asses you feel me?" another gang member said.
"Dummy, Bhoskz wouldn't want that. We must proceed with the tournament no matter what" Daks iterated.
"But how? We are lacking one player" random gang member number 3 said.
"I guess we gotta find someone at least" Daks suggested.
In a miraculous way, just like when Thor arrived in Wakanda. Just as all hope is lost. Before despair comes swallowing the entire Ekalamosus Gang to its bones. A wild Tyler appeared out of nowhere.
"What are you bozos doing a circle jerk for?"
