The Street Fighter Meets The Gang Leader

-Xavier's POV-

"Tied them all up?" I asked as I carried a passed-out Zack and Nick on my shoulders into the dining room.

The fight against all of these boys was rough. It was no wonder they were one of the strongest gangs in their generation. I was impressed, sure, but they weren't at my level, not yet. Perhaps that was why they asked Demon to join them over me and I'll give it to them for being that smart at least.

"Yeah," William replied, wrapping some bandages over a wound Arthur had while he was unconscious. "Has Dominic gone?" He then asked so I looked back through the window of the garden just to double-check before nodded at him. "So far everything's going according to plan, now the only thing left is the Men of Mayhem," I said but just as the words left my mouth, Arthur's phone started to ring. William looked at me and nodded before picking up the phone and putting it on loudspeaker.

"Arthur, we're outside, is everything ready?" A voice asked.

William replied, mimicking Arthur's voice perfectly, "Yeah, the doors are open and they're all passed out. We're ready." Then the phone hung up.

"That's an amazing act you have," I complimented, and he laughed before giving a bow, "Why thank you, I've practised it for quite some time,"

"Run!" We both turned to Arthur who was now awake, groaning in pain. "If they find out that you're the ones in here then they'll never let you live!" He tried to warn which made me smirk. I walked up to him, crouching down in front of him and lightly slapping his cheek twice.

"If we didn't know that then we'd be killed already Arthur, my boy. So, just sit tight and try not getting shot when your friends come in, alright?" I advised, making him stare at me, conflicted for a second, before looking down and giving up, not arguing with me which was my queue to get up.

I hadn't gone street fighting in a while, so my adrenaline was pumping, and I was ready to fight. Besides, doing this for Dominic's sake made it all the more worth it. I was convinced this plan was going to succeed and we would all be alright after this.

"What the fuck-"

I then heard from behind me and I knew it was the gang, so I ran, grabbed the guns we had stored under the dining table, and turned to shoot as they had started shooting. The guns were preloaded so as I ran towards them, I focused on shooting them where it counted, moving continuously and getting behind furniture to avoid getting shot. Behind me, William was shielding the gang and Arthur was using his gun to fight back so I pushed forward.

When I was close enough, I grabbed the barrel of the other guys' guns and changed to hand to hand combat which was proving effective since I was able to beat them fairly quickly. However, I also came to realise that we were heavily outnumbered. More of them would keep appearing seemingly out of nowhere. I guess it made sense since they were planning on fighting a whole other gang but now this was much harder for me.

I could feel myself getting hit, getting jabbed, getting sliced and almost toppled when suddenly I heard people getting beat up from my side but opposite where William and Arthur were defending. It confused me until I felt someone back against mine.

"I've got your back Champ so don't fall," my eyes widened, "Demon!" I was going to tell her off for being here but after blocking another punch I just shook my head and smirked, "We'll see who'll be doing the falling." She laughed back at me and with that, we fought together. We broke arms, broke legs, strangled, tied, suffocated, knocked people out until, There were only four left.

Bang.

I turned worriedly behind me but sighed in relief when I see Demon with a gun, looking back at me sheepishly.

Only three then. One being the leader.

-Blake's POV-

I gained consciousness to the sounds of shooting and someone clapping sarcastically.

When I opened my eyes, I was left shocked at the piles of bodies thrown onto the floor and around the house. Blood was splattered all over the walls and broken furniture was scattered around the house. Next to me the rest of our gang were on the floor, tied and passed out but Arthur, William, Xavier and Dominic were up and faced with three other men. One of them was the one who had been clapping.

"Well done, that was quite the show you put on for me. Also, look who's here! Princess!" The leader, I presumed, of the Men of Mayhem exclaimed before stepping forward which made me want to get up and run in her defence, but the ropes kept me from moving.

Arthur, however, noticed my struggle and looked at me with guilt. He had lied. Damn it! That meant that everything Dominic said was true. I needed to help her. I struggled harder but still to no avail. "Arthur!" I whisper called towards him angrily yet with a worry-filled voice. "Let me out of here!"

-Dominic's POV-

When the guy stepped forward, I tensed so hard that it almost hurt. Xavier noticed this and moved towards me, reassuring me that I was going to be okay.

"I see you figured out our plan. Since we convinced your brothers, I thought you'd fall for it too." He says egotistically to which I scoffed.

"When they said they knew people who'd 'erase me from the world' the only question I had was whether it was going to be with a knife or a gun. I could smell the rest of the answers out of the lies. Besides, Arthur would never make a move against our gang unless you made a threat involving me. But what Arthur failed to realise was that by killing the Skulls and Bones that would also mean killing me anyway." I glanced at Arthur to see him looking down, clearly ashamed for not noticing.

After hearing my explanation, the leader started laughing, head back, holding his stomach as if it was the funniest thing in the world. "It was going to be with a gun, classically," I rolled my eyes. "Classically." I mocked.

"Now then, you know the plan. We'll kill you first instead of last since the only reason we were keeping you alive was to keep Arthur in check. He seems to have made up his mind about going against us though, so I don't need either of you. I'll then take the rest of the gang that you've conveniently knocked out for me. I'm tired of them always getting in my way."

"Not if we can kill you first," Xavier challenged and at the same time, everyone raised their guns. No one was willing to give up their advantage to the other side, so we didn't hesitate.

The shooting began.

Windows broke and anything we could get our hands on, we used to our defence. There were yells from both sides, everyone stubborn and no one falling but finally, my vision cleared, and I could see my bullet hit the chest of the leader. He yelled out in anger and pain as he fell which distracted his two other men, allowing them to be shot down too.

What followed was an unsure silence.

I looked around, no one on our side was killed, Xavier was still standing next to me. I started to relax and lowered my gun. Xavier came over to me scanning me before bringing me into him and we both sighed out in relief. Just as I was about to hug him back though, a shot was fired.

My head whipped around, and I turned as fast as I could, but I was too late. The bullet which was supposed to hit me instead hit the chest of the man who had run in front of me.

I let my body numbly drop onto my knees after watching his fall onto the ground.

"No..." I whispered. "No no no no, this can't have happened," I said a little louder in disbelief. William quickly explained that the leader shot on his last breath and was dead but that didn't matter to me. That was just background noise now. The only person who mattered was-

"BLAKE!"
