Silver Fang Gang

"Let's get in the ring," Achara said to Xavier, seeing that he had the same desire to fight again.

"Sure, but let's use headgear, chest guards, shin guards, knee guards, elbow guards, and gloves. It'll be best not to injure each other, and we won't have to hold back at all if we use them."

"Alright," Achara hesitantly agreed and appeared to be quite disappointed.

"We still need to run this dojo and prepare sessions that we will teach, so if we hurt each other now, who's going to run this place?"

"I understand, and I have already prepared the sessions, so there's no need to worry."

"You planned something? I thought all you could do is fight?" he teased.

Getting annoyed, she pushed him into the ring and it seemed as though she hated being looked down upon more than anything, as she began attacking Xavier.

"Wait! We haven't even put all the protective gear on!" he yelled, but it was to no avail as he dodged her first attacks before jumping out of the ring.

"Hey! Come back here, you coward," she yelled as she jumped out and followed after him.

Rushing around the dojo, she continued chasing after him while Xavier continued teasing her, angering her even more.

Meanwhile, Connor was walking with Zack, who was leading him back to his home.

"You shouldn't bring someone you just met to your home, you know? What if I wanted to rob your home?"

Zack shrugged and answered, "There's not much to steal, and looking at you, if you wanted to rob me, you could just kick down the door and do so."

"Fair enough, but tell me. Why do you want to become a gangster so badly?" asked Connor.

He began telling him about how he had always been mistreated because of his appearance and size, and that in his neighbourhood he was all the gangsters' errand boys.

They would get him to buy them drinks and would beat him as they saw fit, treating him like a slave, and would go as far as to even abuse his grandmother.

His parents abandoned him when he was a baby and he was taken in by an old lady who he came to call his grandmother. She took care of him, raised him, and was the only family that he had.

His rough neighbourhood had a group of youths that called themselves a gang and were known as the Silver Fang Gang, which was an intimidating name that befitted them.

Most of them were in his high school, so even at school he wasn't safe from their abuse and most neighbourhoods had a small gang that would cause trouble for the vulnerable individuals that were in their age group.

Hearing his struggles, Connor was getting angry and, since Zack was now in their gang, he had to stick up for him and help him out.

"Take me to them," he instructed sternly after hearing all about them.

"What?! We didn't come here for that! And I thought you didn't know how to fight... Wouldn't it be best to leave it to Xavier and Achara to deal with them if they mess with me again?"

"I wasn't asking. Take me to them now."

Zack didn't bother arguing with the giant man accompanying him, as he led him to his neighbourhood and the park where the small gang of delinquents would hang around.

"Is that them?" asked Connor, seeing a group of around 8 youths that were forcing another youth around their age to crawl on the ground and bark like a dog.

Nodding his head, it was clear that Zack was afraid and intimidated as he followed closely behind Connor, who rushed over to them.

'What have I done?' Zack was worried and didn't want to cause trouble minutes after joining the gang, but there was no turning back.

-

"Hey! You little fuckers. Who's the boss around here?" called out Connor as he neared them.

It was hard not to see such a giant man coming, and they were alarmed by his physique, but they still had a massive advantage in terms of numbers and not much to fear.

"Get out of here, you don't want to fuck with us," responded one of the youths that stepped forward and seemed to be the boss.

But then, seeing Zack following closely behind him, he realised what was going on and burst out into laughter.

"Boys, let's beat up this big fucker and show him that the Silver Fang Gang is not one to be messed with. Then after that, the little fucker Zack will have to pay as well," he yelled before the rest of the youths began to cheer.

They always moved around in a large group and a few of them were carrying baseball bats, with the boss of the gang carrying a small knife, which caused Zack to back away and want to escape.

However, Connor stood there strong and didn't seem to be afraid of them in the slightest.

They were all around Xavier's age, but none of them gave off the aura and presence that he did and in Connor's eyes, couldn't compare to him at all.

"This neighbourhood is now the territory of the Outlaw Gang and if anyone has a problem with that, they can come and eat my fists," bellowed Connor.

He truly was a frightening individual, and his loud voice resounded throughout the area, but in all honesty, he was just bluffing and wasn't completely confident that he could take them down.

A street fight with no rules against multiple armed opponents was extremely difficult to win, even if he had a strong and powerful physique.

And the best-case scenario was for them all to back down and never mess with Zack again, however, it didn't seem like they were planning on doing so...
