Gang meeting?

As all things had settled down after their mission in keeping the ring safe, Akira was doing a task that was sent by Kamui. He was ordered to send a package that was packed with weapons inside it.

About the ring's condition, it was kept safe with the help of King Zero himself in protecting the ring. Senku Leonardo who was the leader of the Soldiers proceeded in examining the ring while sending his army in protecting the Celesta's gate on a higher level of protection, which was tighter and stricter than usual. This was because the recent invasion was gotten out of hand by the monsters that were invaded by the likes of Kirayashi and the Metamorians.

Akira was doing his job along with Yeru and with the help of Horka, whom later they met by coincidence when they were just going to their destination. Horka helped in carrying 7 packages while starting to question why there were weapons inside the boxes.

Yeru explained that it was for the Soldiers on patrol of the Celesta's gates. Kamui told them to go to the Soldier's central office and send the weapon package to the soldiers near Celesta's gates.

As they were close to their destination, they met up with Kazuya who was tying his shoelaces and appeared it was his home.

"KAZUYA! TAKE OUT THE TRASH! DON'T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE TO BEAT YOUR ASS!"

"SHUT UP, YOU NAGGY HAG! I'M GOING TO!" Kazuya was apparently having what was called a "Siblings fight". As Kazuya was about to come upstairs, Akira approached him and greeted him.

"Yo, Kazuya. Fancy meeting you here?" Akira tried to greet him, but Kazuya gave him an unfriendly welcome.

"You! Why are you here? Were  you following me?" Akira got interrogated by Kazuya while he pointed a sharp object he created with magic at his neck.

"Hey, relax. I'm not here to bust some moves on you, I'm just here to send a package and, by coincidence, I happened to meet you."

"What idiot are you taking me for? You're here to spy, are you? gaining knowledge about my family and seeking information about my weaknesses?"

"What the hell are you on about? Why be sensitive around me? Sheesh, did I do something wrong to make you hate me?"

"Not quite, just your existence bothers me."

"Whoa, what a way to say to hate someone entirely."

As Kazuya was about to start a fight, Horka and Yeru stopped Kazuya from doing violence to the whole place as it was going to damage their reputation. Kazuya finally let go and erased his magic away at Akira.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Yeru and Horka being here, you would've ended up getting stabbed in the neck. Anyway, what do you want? No, what kind of death do you want for me to get rid of you?" Kazuya was mentioning death to Akira as he stared at him with judgy eyes.

"If you really hate me that badly, at least please know that I'm not the scummiest person on earth."

"Humor him, Akira. He's the kind of guy who likes to play with death or threatened one with death to be exact. Please accept my apologies for his behavior toward you. When he is near something or someone he dislikes, he finds it extremely unpleasant. Furthermore, he threatened them on occasion only to keep them away from him." Horka quickly apologized, attempting to defuse the situation.

Akira forgave the whole thing, but he couldn't understand why he disliked people and acted that way. It felt like a tremendous sense of vengeance within him, as though someone killed his loved ones.

"KAZUYA! I TOLD YOU HUNDREDS OF TIMES! GO TAKE OUT THE- Oh, Horka! Yeru! What brings you here? Are you here to pick up my stupid younger brother?" Kazuya's sister came down and showed herself. She was going to bash the teeth out of Kazuya because of his disobedience.

Kazuya's sister was a young woman with black hair who dressed normally, unlike Kazuya, who dressed like a gangster most of the time. Unlike every other older mature woman Akira met, she had a slim body type. She had a lovely appearance as if she had put on make-up. Akira was perplexed until he realized Kazuya had dyed his hair a faintly dark red.

"Good morning, miss Amayi. Sorry to trouble you, but we aren't here to pick up Kazuya for today. We were here sending packages until we came across each other on our way to the Soldiers."

"Ah, It's fine. And ooh, who's this handsome-looking young man, I didn't know you recruit one." Kazuya's sister noticed Akira as she wasn't familiar with him being part of the gang.

"Hahaha, he's not officially a member yet, but I thought of him as part of our members." Horka knew that Akira wasn't planning to join the gang since he didn't care to begin with.

"Boss!" A voice of a man sounded like Reien Gakuto, calling out boss as they interrupt their talking.

"It's... It's Angelo!" Reien panted with exhaustion and spoke that someone named Angelo freaked him out.

After hearing the guy named Angelo, Horka's brows started furrowing.

"What is he doing here?"

"He wanted to meet you, and he brought lots of men on his side," Reien warned Horka that Angelo had brought his men alongside him.

"Damn it, bring me to him. I'll go alone."

"You can't! There are too many of them!"

"Fine, Kazuya, Yeru, and Akira, wanna come along?"

The three gave their assent as soon as Horka said it. Amayi was then requested to carry the boxes to the Soldiers while they were being supplied. They dropped the boxes and left them there as she was preparing to leave. Kazuya was also fortunate in that he could accompany them without having to take out the trash.

[11 minutes later]

They eventually meet there after arriving...

Tattoos covered every inch of Angelo's hulking frame. His left eye was partially scarred by a bear, and his face had a significant scar. He was dressed in white tank tops and had no hair, as well.

Angelo greeted Horka with a delighted smile, showing up his teeth.

Knowing Yeru Horka, he was aware of the small number of his gang members. Why he didn't want more henchmen was a mystery to him.

Horka remained mute as Angelo began to explain why he had been transported to this place.

He assumed Akira was a new member when he first met him and before he began. Akira was intimidating to look at when he glared furiously.

Akira had his antenna out wide, detecting peril around every bend. He was unsure of what his danger sense was trying to alert him to. In his head, it merely said, "Avoid." Akira warned Horka that it might be an ambush as soon as his danger sense went alert.

"An ambush?" Horka exclaimed, shocked. Angelo immediately began urging him to "Do it!" once he said that.

There was gas all around. Except for Angelo, who wore a breathing mask while they all just started coughing.

They were going to faint and were beginning to lose consciousness. They were unable to properly stand up and were unable to control their vision. They all passed out a little while later...

"We only have three cages, boss. Which one ought to be rid of?"

"Throw those two out; I have a hunch they'd cause an issue for us. They are strong, I can already tell. Put them in the sewer and feed them to the dog." Those two were being referred to by Angelo as Kazuya and Akira. He could tell because he could feel their abilities.

"Yes, sir."

As soon as they passed out, Angelo's gang members began carrying them on their shoulders as they made their way to a specific location...

Bonus chapter- About Akira...

This bonus chapter is for explaining what the character likes, dislikes/troubles, favorite foods, disliked foods, and hobbies by interviewing them...

Favorite foods: "Meat. It brings so much pleasure to my tongue and could even lift my spirits as well. I liked vegetables too, but nothing could match the tastiness of meat!"

Disliked foods: "I don't like cheese. When I ate my first cheeseburger, its taste isn't as great as I thought. I threw away the cheese and the burger tasted good without it. Though to be truthful, it tastes mediocre. Hmm? Oh, it's cheddar cheese? Come to think of it, I don't really mind eating pizza. I guess I disliked cheddar cheese then."

Hobbies: "Exploring. I really can't wait to explore the next country next time. Surely, I'll be prepared to face lots of monsters, and meet up with new friends too! I can't tell how excited I am to see the new world. Wanna come over too?"

Likes: "What I liked is probably money. Can't travel far without money, right? The fact that I often got into trouble because of my finances, never surprises me. I guess that's what I get to live in life being a peasant folk."

Dislikes/troubles: "AGH! WHENEVER I DIED OF BURNING OR EXPLOSION, MY CLOTHES ARE ALWAYS THE PROBLEM. Not just that, why must I suffer pain? Hoho, sure I get lots of experience dealing with pain. It's just why not give me the passive skill of not being able to feel pain. Oh, and I don't like staying close to Kitsune; she's really scary. And I don't suggest youngsters stay close to her either."
