Johnathan; Ian; Jeremy; Vivian; Cassandra
Johnathan led the group to the bridge.
Ian, armed with a rifle, kept an eye on the rest of the group. "Watch your step." He said as they passed across the rickety bridge over the swelling river below.
Jeremy looked over the railing and down at the river. He shuddered. "I hate this weather." He muttered.
Cassandra shrugged. "You'll get used to it." She said calmly, as if nothing would go wrong.
Vivian shook her head. "You only say that because you're the only one here who could be featured on Wild Kingdom, Cassie." She scowled. The rainy weather was getting to her.
Cassandra turned around to face the younger woman. "Why don't you come say that to my face, runt?" She challenged. Vivian stepped forward. "You amazon." She said indignantly. Cassandra threw a punch at Vivian, but Ian grabbed her arm.
"Not here, not now." He said, glancing from one to the other.
The girls stepped away from each other, but didn't stop staring.
Zack,Kadaj,Vincent, Tifa, Aerith
Kadaj the youngest of the group walked on the railing ahead of his little group.Aw come on zack cheer up!He said.
Vincent too walked on the railing but beside Zack who was on the bridge.Come on man, I doubt she would want you acting like thisHe spoke.
Zack:Shut up you don't know what she'd want!HE snarled his hands shoved deep into his pockets.
Tifa and Aerith walked together with a sigh. They were trying to cheer zack up but nothing was working.She looked ahead and watched the people up ahead.
Ian
Ian made sure the girls stayed away from each other. Once they calmed down, he left them. That was when he noticed the other group. He wasn't usually one to get involved with other people's business...
...but Jeremy was. He carefully stepped away from the railing, not looking down. If he looked at the river below, he'd lose his mind. "Hey." He said as the group passed.
Ian shook his head, having learned of the violent gangs in the area. He didn't know if this was one of them, but he wasn't about to take any chances.
Kadaj
He stopped as the male said hi.Hey is for horsesHe smiled.
Vincent sighed and smiled.Hi
Tifa and Aerith nodded.
Zack on teh other hand just turned and looked at the river below.He took a flower he had bought for lark. He looked at it and then let it fall to the flowing river below.
Jeremy
Jeremy stepped back shyly. "I'm Jeremy Nova of the Akula Gang." He said sheepishly.
Ian let his rifle fall to the side and stepped forward. "I'm Ian Ming." He said with a smile. He had a shark tattoo on his arm with the word AKULA under it.
Johnathan kept his distance for now, being one of the more aloof ones in the group.
Vivian ad Cassandra were about to introduce themselves, but when each saw that the other was going first, they stopped, sneering at each other.
Kadaj
Kadaj of the Angelus ClanThey had recently changed their name. he eyed vivian. She was pretty.
Zack:Zack remained where he was stil moping
Vincent:Vincent Valentine, Thats Zack do excuse him his girlfriend was murdered two days agoHe sighed.
Tifa;I'm tifa
Aerith:and I'm Aerith
Ian
Ian looked at each when they spoke. "It's good to meet you." He said politely.
Jeremy looked at Kadaj. "Get your eyes off of her." He said, which earned him a look from Johnathan. "I thought you said you were just friends." He teased, stepping forward to greet the group. "I'm Johnny Jordan. I'm the leader of the Akula Gang." He, too, bore the gang's logo on his arm.
Cassandra stepped forward now. "I'm Cassandra Kendra." She introduced herself, standing next to Ian.
Vivian watched Cassandra with her arms folded and eyes narrowed.
Kadaj
He snorted and shruged the man off.I'll look at who ever I wantHe spoke.
vincent. Great he thought Kadaj is gonna start trouble.Nice to meet youHe spoke. He was second in charge along with Zack of the Angeleus Clan.
Zack sat on the railing.
Tifa:She smiled.
Aerith sighed.Kdaj don't start trouble, You will never get a girl as good looking as she is
Ian
Jeremy stepped forward so he was standing right in front of Kadaj. "You wanna say that again, punk?" He challenged.
Ian looked at his ally and rolled his eyes. "Jeremy, be the mature one. Drop it." He ordered.
Aerith
She sighed. Great.Kadaj don't even think of itShe growled.
Kadaj stood up to his full ehight.Yah, I'll...Stare....At....Who....Ever.... I .... Want ....to!
Vincent.Kadaj quit it
Zack peered over. he would step in if a fight broke out but if not he'd just stand where he was.
tifa sighed nad leaned against the bridge.Don't mind Kadaj he is the trouble maker in our group
Jeremy
Vivian looked at Jeremy. "Beat him, Jeremy! Don't let him look at me that way!" She shouted to him.
Kadaj
He had saw the muscles in the males arms move and so he ducked.whether or not someone else was standing between the two he sent a kick out.
Zack:he lept down and was soon in front of kadaj and he grabed Kadaj's leg and shoved him back causing the 17 year old boy to fall.He growled but stood up and snorted.He though still looked at vivian.Zackkept his eye on kadaj.
Jeremy
Jeremy broke free, running past Zack and leaping at Kadaj.
"Jeremy!" Ian shouted, running after his ally.
Zack
He stuck himself between jeremy and Kadaj. He made to grab the male and restrain him nothing more.
Kadaj would of run right for the man but zack had intervene. He grunted.,BabyHe hissed.
Jeremy
Jeremy tried to break free, but couldn't.
Vivian stepped forward, looking at Kadaj. "Keep your eyes off of me." She said coldly.
Cassandra looked at Vivian, then at Kadaj. "I'd listen to her, if I were you. She has all the strength of a big fat ugly ape. And the looks of one, too." She warned as an insult to Vivian.
Kadaj
He snorted.I'll look at you all I wanthe spoke.He then looked at the other girl.Speak for yourself
Zack held onto him refusing to let him by.
Ian
Ian looked at Kadaj and tilted his head. "Hey, that's no way to treat a lady!" He said, stepping forward. He glanced at Vivian. "Go somewhere else for a while, please."
Vivian nodded, stuck her tongue out at Kadaj, and walked away.
Kadaj
Oh but It doesn't matter to me how you treat them in turn if you want something you should get itOkay now he was just being a complete ass
Jeremy
Jeremy still struggled. "You're a full-blown jackass!" He shouted to Kadaj.
Ian looked at the other group. "Can one of you tell your friend to shut it, please?" He asked, a bit impatient.
Zack
He kept a tight hold tightning every time the kid struggled.k
Vincent:Kadaj your an IDIOT Shut the fuck up, I 'll tell your old brotherHe warned
kadaj opened his mouth to back talk vincent ut when he said older brother his lip twitched and he crossed his arms and just turned his back on the others and flicked them off.
Jeremy
Jeremy finally broke free, walking back to where Johnny stood.
Vivian soon came back, ready to punch Kadaj's lights out if he looked at her wrong again.
Ian looked at Vincent. "Thank you." He said bluntly, then looked at Kadaj. "And don't try that again."
Kadaj
He glared but didn't dare say a word with vincent and zack there.His hands in fists.He did cast a nother glance at her.I'm leaving i got better things to do then hang around with babiesHe spoke.He started heading off
Vincent.You just got to know what to use and when with him. he is a teenagerHe smiled.
Zack sighed.
Johnny
Johnny smiled and shook his head. "Been there." He said, glancing back at Jeremy. "But we were all that way once, I guess."
Ian grinned, but something caught his attention. He could see something in the treeline. "Johnny! It's Thatcher!" He shouted, aiming his rifle at the trees.
Johnny raised his rifle to the trees. "Are you sure?" He asked
"Do I look unsure to you?!" Ian yelled.
From behind them, they could hear a scream. "Oh crap..." Jeremy said as he turned around to see Vivian running toward the group. "They're back!" She screamed. Jeremy grabbed her and held her close as the enemy closed in from both ends of the bridge.
Thom Thatcher, wielding an automatic assault rifle, plus a pistol, a few grenades and the like, approached Johnny. "I haven't seen you in a long time, kid. He said with a grin on his face. "I see you've made some friends. And don't bother fighting back; you're surrounded." There were numerous reinforcements in the trees.
Johnny looked around nervously, seeing all his old enemies around him. He said nothing. At the moment, he just kept his mouth shut.
Nathan Castor stood at the end of the bridge with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Mike Deacon was at the other side, ready with another RPG. If anything went wrong, their orders were to blow the bridge, whether their leader was on it or not.
Zack
Zack placed a hand kon the sword that was on his back.His eyes watching these people. He could tell they weren't friends.
Vincent gripped his gun which had three places bullets could come out of.
Tifa watched them. Damn she wished she had atleast brought a knife.
Aerith was not a fighter so she just stood where she was.
Johnny
Johnny stood his ground, staring at the man blankly.
Thom grabbed Johnny by the neck and pushed him against the railing. "It's your time to die, kiddo." He said arrogantly. Johnny tried to push the stronger man's hands away, but was unable to. He was slowly being strangled.
Katrina stepped onto the bridge. "Don't kill him - yet. I have some questions." She said with a smirk. She glanced at the other group. "And get the Akulas' friends out of here."
Thom walked toward Zack and his group. "You're going to want to leave now."
Camouflaged deep in the trees, William Blaze had a sniper rifle, ready to take anyone out.
Zack
His eyes narrowed and he stood his ground.No buddy, I think you want to leave. You must be new in this town as well and dumb at itHe spoke.He pulled the sword a bit from its sheath.
Vincent pulled out his cerberus and held it up.Yah buddy right now your own gang turf that don't belong to you nor us but still we were living here much longer.
Tifa stayed quiet.
Aerith:Fighting is Sensless!
Thom Thatcher
Thom folded his arms and grinned. "Oh really? In case you didn't notice, my friends here can blow your tiny little heads off." He motioned to Mike and Nathan, who had rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
William, who was still in the forest, aimed his sniper rifle at Zack's head. He fired. This was a fast bullet, so it would be hard to dodge. If he was lucky, he'd at least hit Zack in the back.
Zack
So you'd kill yourselves as well and the ones that lived would have the rest of my gang on yah like cats on a ratHe hissed. Then he winced as he felt something pierce the back of his left shoulder.Okay now you did itHe hissed brining out the sword and swinging it at thom.
Aerith screamed when she saw zack get hit.
Tifa pulled her into a hug and just glared.
Vincent spun around and fired his gun off at the others that were down one end of the bridge. Three bullets flying.
Thom Thatcher
"Small price to pay." Thom replied, backing away from the sword. He readied his AK-47 and unleashed a spray of bullets on the group.
Johnny stepped forward. "Thatcher! Wait! I'll go with you!" His words were inaudible in the noise of the gun, so Thom didn't stop. Mike signed to Thom and pulled out a grenade, pulling the pin and throwing it just before it would go off, thus making the explosion much harder to dodge.
Thom, seeing Mike's sign, stepped back before he even threw the grenade.
Zack
He was watching thom every movement so when he stepped back Zack lunged for him just missing the explosion.
vincent howeever was sent flying. He hit the railing and just sat where he landed partialy uncouncious.
Aerith screamed but didn't leave.The girls never left without the guys.
Kadaj hadn't gotten far when he heard the explosion and he pulled out his two sword. He came back but didn't go on the bridge. He tapped the man that was there on the back.excuse meHe spoke.When and if he turned around he would slash out with the sword
Thom Thatcher
Thom looked at Kadaj. What a stupid move...he just made himself a target.
Mike, who was tapped on the back, rammed his RPG launcher back at Kadaj. He wasn't stupid enough to turn his back and put himself in danger.
Ian sighed. "Thatcher's people are many more and far stronger than all of us put together. We have no choice but to lose." He said, greatly disappointed.
Zack
he growled.You don't know the strength of my clanHe spoke.
Kadaj growled and stumbled back but then lashed out again.
Aerith and tifa stood still.
Thom Thatcher
Thom aimed his gun at Zack. "Shove it, kid. This is none of your business." He said through clenched teeth.
Johnny looked at Zack, shaking his head. "He's right. This is our fight." The Akula Gang leader said.
Mike set his RPG launcher down and pulled out his pistol, firing at Kadaj several times.
Zack
HE watched and listened.FIen suit yourselves but this really isn't over. shooting me was a bad thingAnd with that he turned and left and so did the others.
