The Low Cut District glowed red under the setting sun, not from the neon lights, but from the burning barricades Cainen's crew had set up. Smoke billowed, thick and suffocating, blurring the edges of the broken streets and shattered glass. The message was clear: this turf was theirs now.
The gangs who'd refused the offer were left with two choices—swear loyalty or burn.
Scene 1: Arrival of the Rebels
Three gang leaders swaggered into the district, flanked by their thugs, trying to act like kings of a crumbling kingdom. Cainen and Rekka waited atop a rooftop, Kaito lounging behind them, too chill to bother standing.
Gang Leader #1 (smirking):"So, this is the kingdom of two fools? Heard you're trying to build an empire with what—two guys and a wannabe earthquake?"
Rekka (grinning):"Yeah, that's us. You're gonna love what we do to wannabes."
Cainen (stepping out, arms crossed):"Listen close. Swear to the Deadly Six, or I'll make sure your last breath tastes like gasoline and regret."
Gang Leader #2 (laughs):"You're cute when you threaten, kid. What're you gonna do? Punch us all to death?"
Kaito (cracking his knuckles):"Pretty much."
Scene 2: The Fight
Without warning, Rekka leaps down, gauntlets glowing with micro-shocks, cracking the pavement beneath the gang's feet.
Rekka: "Step one—break shit."
Metal screams as Kaito's chain-knife slices through a thug's arm, making him drop his bat with a yelp.
Cainen's fists start glowing red-hot—fire fist style. He punches a barrel, sending it flying into the nearest thug with a shockwave that flattens the guy like a pancake.
Cainen (grinning):"You want a war? I'll give you one."
The gang scrambles, fighting back with knives, bats, and dirty guns, but the Deadly Six (well, the two plus Rekka) move with brutal precision and chaotic energy. They dance through the fight, cracking jokes between bone breaks.
Kaito (mocking a thug):"Hey, watch out! You might get hurt! Oh wait, too late."
Rekka (laughing while smashing a guy's ribs):"This is the best cardio I've had all year."
Cainen (punching through a wall):"I'm gonna name this place 'Hell's Welcome Mat.'"
Scene 3: The Oaths
When the dust settles, the gang leaders are bruised, beaten, and broken.
Gang Leader #1 (panting):"Alright… we swear. To the Deadly Six."
Cainen:"Good. Now say it like you mean it."
The leaders kneel, swearing loyalty as Rekka sprays the district wall with fresh tags:
"Deadly Six Rules Here."
Scene 4: Dark Humor in the Aftermath
Later, Kaito throws a bag of shrimp chips at Cainen.
Kaito:"You wanna celebrate or just keep pretending you're some goddamn king?"
Cainen (grinning):"I'm already the king of assholes. This is just my court."
Rekka:"Should I bring the crown or just keep smashing skulls?"
DMK (floating, dry):"You're all delusional, and that's the scariest part."
They laugh.
The district is theirs—for now.
