The Street Fighter Meets The Gang Leader

Chapter 34 — We Finally Meet the Scorpions



-Nickolas' POV-

The plan was prepared and explained to my members, now the only thing left to do was to put it into action. I knew it was dangerous to put this new team into a fight without some training first though so that was exactly what I was going to do.

I had called everyone into the main room of my apartment and had started calling out everyone's positions, more so Dominic knew a bit more about the gang she was now in. "First off, Zack and Blake are our weapon guys for this division, it's their speciality. Jason is our kill off. Kind of like an assassin, he'll do the individual tasks that don't require the whole group. He prefers to work alone and does it well. Dominic, you and Jake are our hand-to-hand combat team from now on." After I say this, they turn to each other and give each other a fist bump, which almost made me smile. "And of course, I play a role in every team as well as leading. "I finalize but for some reason, I see Dominic frown as if she just made a realization.

"Wait a minute! You're telling me that until now, this group of five, only had one person playing hand to hand combat?" She asked which made me hesitate in slight embarrassment before Jake put both of his hands on her shoulders and answered for me.

"Only because they knew I could handle it, Sweetheart." The answer made Dominic roll her eyes playfully, dissatisfied with the answer but wasn't going to argue.

From beside me, I could feel Blake tense up whilst Jake's hands remained on Dominic but when I looked, his face hadn't seemed to differ from normal. It was amusing seeing him try so hard to act as if he wasn't affected so I decided to leave him be.

"You all know the drill and how things are going to work so I need you guys to go off and train. You know how the Scorpions can be. We can't let them get a nudge over us!" I tried to motivate and Zack yelled back enthusiastically in response which made everyone laugh before they went off in their separate locations.

It wasn't long after where I made my rounds to make sure everything was okay, Jake and Dominic's pair being the last ones to go to but when I did my anger and confusion flared as I caught Dominic laying on a bean bag sleeping whilst Jake was gently trying to wake her up.

I walked in closer to the two which made Jake notice me and turn around in a panic whilst almost trying to hide Dominic from me. "Hey, Nick, what's up? We were just, um-" but he trailed off, looking for an excuse so I pushed him out of the way a little, so I didn't have anything in my way.

"Dominic!" I shouted to which she hummed back in reply, but her body didn't move and her arm staid over her eyes. "What the fuck are you doing? I told you to come here to train, not lay around sleeping! I don't want a weak member in my gang "I was going to carry on, but she cut me off by getting up as fast as a bullet and standing less than a meter away from me, taking off her hoodie in the process, and lifting the shirt she had underneath just enough to show off her stomach which was well-toned and a six-pack was clearly visible and defined. Her arms too, now that they weren't covered, you could see the muscles gleaming back at you.

"Call me weak again fucktard and I'll beat your ass." She threatened, voice low but dangerous before sitting back down in the position she was in before.

"Ooooo saucy!" Jake exclaimed from before me which shook me out of my dazed state before I turned back to him with a glare which made him flinch, "sorry."

I then turned back around to Dominic, still unready to give up on our argument. So, I brought out my phone and called Blake into the room we were in and a couple of minutes later he appeared with confusion written on his face. "Nick?" he asked but I didn't turn to him, my eyes were focussed on Dominic whilst my arms were crossed.

"Sis, if you're so confident in yourself I want you to fight Blake, right here and now," I announce. From before me, I could hear the twins say, "what?" in unison but I ignored it.

Dominic raised her arm off of her face to look at mine and when she saw I was serious she sighed and got up, this time slowly as if she lacked the energy. "Eleven fights today and it's only twelve pm. Could this day get anymore tiring?" she muttered in between which made me pause.

"Eleven?" I ask back which makes her look at me with a bored face. It was then that I also realized that her eyes glowed red with lack of sleep.

"Yeah, unlike you daisies who sleep the night away, I have fights lined up next to each other night after night and I had a three-hour training session with Xavier. I came here with one hour of shut-eye." I lowered my gaze after she said that. Reminding myself that I was being rude and inconsiderate. I should have thought about her situation. I should have remembered that she made her own living by sacrificing everything and that she was probably in a lot of pain right now. I looked back up to tell her that she didn't have to fight after all but by then she was already standing in front of Blake, ready to start.

"Go easy on me alright?" she said to him, smiling gently and Blake nodded back. They then stood in silence for a second before beginning. Blake ran up to her and got ready to throw a punch but at the last second, Dominic ducked, grabbing his leg and flipping him over her shoulder. My eyes widened as I saw Blake struggling to get up. She fought as if everything she had just said was a lie. Just as Blake got to his hands and knees, I looked back at Dominic to see she had a gun pointed at Blake, which he also saw and froze. His hand went to his waistline to see that it was his gun in her hands.

The room was silent for a few seconds but that was broken when someone barged into the room. "Nick, we have some trouble!" Jason shouted alarmed with Zack following behind him. "The Scorpions were sighted only two hours away from here and are expecting us tonight." I clenched my jaw and looked at my members who were also a little panicked by the news. We weren't expecting them until at least the day after tomorrow. Dominic was the only one who didn't seem panicked but instead now leaning against the wall, half asleep.

"I wouldn't worry too much about the Scorpions. We're prepared. I'm just worried about Dominic. She's too tired to fight and didn't get a chance to work with Jake either." I said, but then both Blake and Jake came forward to defend her. "Her fighting skills are amazing. You can trust that she'll be okay. Just let her sleep while we still have the time and she'll be ready." Blake said with confidence.

"Yeah, plus before you came, Dominic and I had talked over everything already, planned and strategized. We're ready to go." They were convincing arguments, but I still hesitated.

I looked at my sister again. Sleeping was a time where people were at peace, but she wasn't like that. She looked tense and on guard. Even when not awake or fighting, she was ready to beat whoever came near her.

That's when I decided to trust her and her strength. So, I nodded and gave further instructions. "Okay Blake, you take Dominic to a quiet room and let her get some rest. We'll move from there." It was time.

It was six pm when we were all positioned in the location that the Scorpions were last seen at. We each had at least two guns on us with Blake and Zack having more. We also made sure we had bullet-proof vests on and all other extra gear to help us out. Except for Dominic. She wasn't a fan of having any weapons on her, but I forced her to carry one gun on her for protection if none of us could reach her. She also didn't put the bullet-proof vest on saying that was just going to weigh her down but no matter how much I reasoned with her she was stubborn and settled for just a leather jacket, with her mask finishing the look.

We stood in formation. I had Jason hidden and out of sight from those who could be in front of us. Blake was a distance behind us too, looking out for our back. Zack took my right similarly to Blake whilst Jake and I took front and Dominic in the centre.

"So you actually showed up." A voice then called out, coming out of the shadows. It was Jakob, the gang leader. Behind him were three more of his members, Jordan, Kobe, and Marcel which I had to be cautious of.

"You know I'd never back down in a fight, as pointless as it may be," I reply which makes him snarl.

"Pointless? That's rich coming from you. If you would have just agreed to our contract conditions, everything could have been fine."

"Your conditions were unreasonable! You should have known negotiations were going to fail." That was probably when Jakob realized that I wasn't going to agree on no matter what and so his hands went to his waist which was my sign to be ready.

"Jordan, Kobe, Marcel, we're going with our second formation." he then says which makes the three of them step forward. This gang had seven members since only four were here I knew I had to look out for the other three as well. I took out a gun and got into position to fight when suddenly, "Wait, Jordan?" Dominic suddenly calls out which makes me whip my head around to see her stepping forward and passed me before I could stop her. "Damn you've changed!" She continues which causes Jordan to halt in confusion.

"Who're you?" He asked which makes her chuckle in reply before raising her mask a little bit which makes me inhale sharply. This was really risky.

"Dominic? What the hell?" He then exclaims, and they stepped closer to each other and into a hug. Did they know each other? I questioned as I watched them pull away.

"It's been four years! The last I heard from you was a read text message. That doesn't make you a nice person mate," Dominic started and they carried on with their little conversation until I realized Dominic was holding a finger out behind her back, signalling. She was distracting them for us.

I smirked at that and signalled round to Jason to go for Jakob.

"And Kobe! You're here too! I talked to you like twice I remember!" Dominic exclaims which drags his attention onto her. Perfect. "I thought you said you guys were nerds, why the hell are you in a gang, fighting my brother?" "Brother-?" He was going to ask when he was cut off by a gunshot.

Everyone turned to see that Jakob had been shot by his collar bone. This had snapped everyone back into a killing mode, especially Marcel who didn't wait to go and attack Dominic in rage, pouncing on her like a lion. Jordan rushed back to Jakob to start treating him which was fatal for them, their back was open.

However, it was then when two more members came out and attacked in unison with Kobe who was now holding out two guns, firing them towards me so I took cover, letting Blake and Zack handle those with a gun and Jake and Jason were occupied with those who had rushed out.

I swiftly moved towards Jordan, grabbing a gun in the meantime and pointed in at his back while it was still turned to me, however just as I got closer, he suddenly pulled out a knife and cut me across my arm making the grip on my gun weak so Jordan took the opportunity to kick the gun out of my hand and land a punch to my face.

When I got hit I almost laughed. The night Dominic and I found out we were related, and I took her back home she gave me a 4-hour training session which she reasoned I needed after seeing how I punched at the bar. During the session, we had also fought, a lot a, it was painful as fuck but ever since then no one's punches have hurt me as much as hers had. This was no exception. It was weak.

Jordan tried punching me a second time, but I caught it with my good hand, but he swung a second knife in his left hand towards my neck which made my eyes widen but before it could hit...someone stopped it.

I looked to see that Dominic was now stood next to me and she had stopped the attack by catching the blade with her fingers despite it resulting in them bleeding. While Jordan was off guard, Dominic wasted no time to give him a real punch making him fall and hit his head hard enough onto the floor to pass out next to Jakob who was struggling to get up, pointing a gun at us which I kicked out of his hand.

I looked behind me after that to see Marcel was also passed out behind us. I wave of pride went through my body for my sister. She was so fucking strong. I was going to turn back to her to compliment her when suddenly sounds of sirens were heard which made everyone freeze slightly. The Scorpions looked at each other as if expecting this which made me curse. "Looks like Oliver's backup plan worked," I hear Austin say to Tom which confirmed my theory. They planned it. "Nick we need to get out of here!" Jason then shouted at me and I nodded, signalling the other guys before taking the route we had planned out before. We kept going until I could no longer hear sirens or the shouts of men behind us. I turned with a smirk on my face but when I did, I saw that I was a member short. "Where's Dominic?" I asked but I didn't get any replies. "Don't make me ask again, where the fuck is Dominic?!" I yelled, and Jake was the first to raise his head to

answer.

"She sacrificed herself, so we wouldn't be caught by the police."
