- The Next Day -

Red took a huge sigh, following up with a huge sip out of a bottle.

“Hey… you’ll end up drunk if you keep that up.” Blue replied, letting out a sigh.

“Shut up… I am tired of waiting.” Red replied.

The door suddenly opened up. And White walked out of the door, with Grey around his arms. Red quickly stood up, running to him.

“W- Woah… Where did you find him?!” Red asked.

“A few blocks away from here… He has already lost a lot of blood.” White replied.

“What should we do to help?” Blue asked.

“Yes… I have one idea to save him.” White said.

“How? If you have one, speak it out now.” Blue replied, without hesitating.

“We need someone to transport blood to him, immediately.” White answered.

Blue’s eyes widened up.

“I- Is it already that bad?” Blue asked.

Red let out a sigh, as he walked up to White.

“I accept-” “Woah woah woah!” Blue interrupted Red.

“Would you really go that far?” Blue asked.

Red smirked.

“If that man dies… I will follow him… ” Red said.

“... He would’ve done the same for me.” Red mumbled.

Blue realized Red and Grey had a pretty interesting bond with each other. After all, Red was the first one who joined the Gang.

“Sure… Blue go make preparations.” White said.

“Also get a bed, a chair, anything useful.” Red followed up.

“S- Sure… Coming right up.” Blue said, as he ran back inside the building…

- - Place: Kuruka’s hideout - -

- Same time -

“Oi… Oi! Wake up!” Some shouted.

Uchiko vision was still blurry…

She slowly opened up her eyes, and realized that the Seppuku clan had surrounded her. Yanami reached her hand out to Uchiko.

“You okay?” Yanami asked.

Uchiko grabbed her hand. Yanami helped her up.

“Y- Yeah… I am fine… ” Uchiko mumbled.

“What happened in here?” Takumi asked.

Uchiko looked up to him, but… She can’t remember.

“I… Only remember checking up on Kuruka, after that everything went black.” Uchiko explained.

“... I know what happened.”

Someone mumbled from the distance. Takumi turned and his eyes widened up-

The person standing there… Was Kuruka.

Kuruka pulled out the syringes on his arm, and slowly walked to them while leaning on the wall.

“The person who did that was Tado...” Kuruka mumbled.

Everyone was shocked, and Rikishi frustrated.

“H- How come?” Takumi asked.

“I… Don’t know… But that piece of paper had something really bad on it.” Kuruka explained, pointing to a piece of paper on the other side of the room.

The boys walked up to it. Ukato grabbed the piece of paper and red it out loud.

“Hideout c-...” Ukato suddenly stopped, as his eyes widened up.

“Well? What does it say?” Takumi asked.

“H- Hideout… Coordinates...” Ukato mumbled.

Takumi’s eyes widened up.

“Don’t tell me...” Takumi mumbled.

The boys ran through the door in an instant, grabbing the piece of paper with them.

“Kimoto! Watch over Kuruka. We’ll be back real soon!” Takumi shouted, as they all entered the car and drove full speed.

Rikishi was still frustrated.

“Why… Why did he do this?” Rikishi mumbled to himself, driving as fast as he could...

Ukato was quiet… He realized something…

This… Might not be what he expected…

Ukato let out a sigh, looking out the window.

- - Place: Unknown - -

- Meanwhile -

“Finally, done.” White mumbled, looking at Red and Grey.

“Now, it will not take too long to give him the amount of blood he needs.” White said, wiping the blood off his hands.

Blue was sitting, still scared.

“S- So… I know we are comrades, but you are risking your life for someone our boss randomly picked...” Blue mumbled.

Red smirked. He realized that Blue was pretty confused.

“It’s because… The Boss purposely placed Grey in the scouting team.” Red explained.

Blue’s eyes widened up.

“W- What?” Blue mumbled.

“Grey, The Boss and I go from way back… I’ll explain it to you.” Red said, smiling…

- - Place: The Netherlands, Amsterdam - -

- Estimated time: 10 Years ago -

The group of older kids grabbed the other by the neck, slamming him onto the wall.

“What did you say? You punk?” One of them said, raising his fist.

The kid who was about to be beaten up, was Red.

“I said… One day you’ll get the pain back.” Red replied, grinning.

The group in front of him started to get really pissed.

“Oh we’ll see about that!” The kid said, raising his fist further back.

Just before he had the time to punch him, someone arrived in the alleyway.

“H- Hey! Stop right there!” The man shouted to the kids.

“Oh damn it...” The kid mumbled, letting go of Red and running away.

The man walked up to him.

“Are you alright?” The man asked.

“Y- Yeah...” Red mumbled, as he suddenly collapsed and closed his eyes.

- - -

I had been a stray kid since the last memories I had left in my brains…

But there was one person that caught me that day…

He, saved me from this stray life…

- - -

Red’s vision slowly started to come back, as he noticed he was laying inside a warehouse. In front of him was the person that saved him. He was talking to a group of four people, one of them was sitting on a throne. The other three stood in front of the throne. It looked like they all were ranked by rarity, there was Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond on the throne.

“How dare you bring someone inside without permission!” One of the three said.

“As I said, he was almost dead, what should I have done else?!” The man who saved him shouted.

The man named bronze slammed his hands on the desk.

“What about letting him die? Or are you that kind hearted?” Bronze said, frustrated.

Grey stopped talking and took a gulp.

“... He can stay.” The man in the throne said.

Grey’s eyes lightened up. Bronze turned to the person in the throne.

“J- Joe, are you serious about this?” Bronze asked.

“Yes, but only in one condition he can stay...” The man named Joe said.

“... You both will go to Japan with two others.” He finished his sentence, grinning.

Grey nodded.

“That’s no problem, sir.” Grey said, smiling.

He turned back to Red, who had woken up not long ago.

Grey reached his hand out, smiling.

“Welcome in the Golden Age Clan, buddy.” He said.

Red’s eyes lightened up.

- - -

After that we both trained and ended up with you two in Japan…

Since he sacrificed his trust for me… I will sacrifice my life for him.

- - -

Blue’s eyes lightened up from the story, he never imagined that kind of story.

“W- Woah… You two are almost like brothers.” Blue replied.

“True, so that’s why… I will forgive no one that messes with him.” Red said, as he started to get frustrated.

Ishido… Takumi…

One day I’ll pay you back…

- - Place: Unknown Warehouse - -

- Meanwhile -

Takumi smashed the door open of the warehouse. Their eyes widened up, the only thing they found was Tado with a letter next to him. Tado also looked like he had lost a lot of blood.

“W- What the hell?” Takumi mumbled.

Rikishi was the first one to run to Tado.

“Oi… Tado, wake up!” Rikishi shouted.

The others ran to the body and picked him up. Ukato looked at the letter he found on the ground, walking up to it.

He picked up the letter, as his eyes widened up.

“Your next...”

Those words were enough to frighten him completely.

This person was targeting them… Whoever it was…

And they don’t look like rookies, cuz they absolutely defeated Tado.

“Ukato!” Takumi suddenly shouted.

Ukato jumped up.

“Y-Yes?!” Ukato asked.

“What does it say?” Takumi asked.

Takumi sounded pretty pissed off…

“Nothing interesting...” Ukato replied.

“I didn’t ask if it was interesting or not, I asked what it said.” Takumi said, walking up to him.

“Well it says ‘Your next’, now happy?” Ukato replied.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Takumi asked.

“I don’t know… Maybe you should asked the knocked out one!” Ukato shouted back, in a sarcastic tone.

Everyone’s eyes widened up.

“O- Oi-”

“I am done...” Ukato interrupted Takumi, before he could say anything.

“... I am done with this stupid life of ours!” Ukato shouted.

“What have we done to earn this kind of ending?!” Ukato shouted once again.

“Oh I remember what we did...” Ukato mumbled.

“... We pissed of the entire Japanese mafia community because of you and your stupid clan!” Ukato shouted.

Takumi’s eyes widened up, following up with a sigh.

“Fine, if you don’t want to stay...” Takumi mumbled.

“... Then get the hell out.” Takumi followed up.

“I will...” Ukato replied.

“... I am done with you and your stupid delusions.” Ukato said, pushing him out the way and kicking the door open.

Ukato pulled the car keys out of his pocket.

“You know what?” Ukato said, as he grinned.

“I’ll start my own gang...” Ukato followed up.

Ukato opened the car door and started the engine.

“My gang will have one goal...” Ukato said, looking at Takumi.

They both looked as if they were ready to kill one another. Ukato followed up with-

“... Is to Eliminate the one who started this, so that he can say hello for me to Anne and Ryan.”

Takumi’s eyes widened up.

“You son of a-”

Before Takumi could reply, Ukato slammed his feet on the gas pedal, driving away…
