A new boss in the city.

Chiara had found a small Underground group whose boss she wanted to challenge to a duel of life and death. The survivor was the "new" boss of the group. He couldn't say no to her because or he would lose all repscet from them.

..."So... do you want a second to get ready or something? I don't have a lot of time boys."...

He laughed nervously.

..."*What did you say was your name and your uhm... job again?"...

..."I don't know if I'm all too known around here, but I was kidnapped and need some backup. They call me Reaper. Professional Assassin in the best 0.01 %. And you, what's your name?"...

..."The names Rode, we are the 3rd strongest Underground group in NYC."...

..."You know, I'd rather not kill you. You seem smart, how about we fight till one of us breaks a bone."...

..."Alright*."...

He wanted to attack, but she jumped on his back and grabbed his arm, made him fall backwards and jumped to the side just in time. While he was on shock, she took his hand and his gang heard a crack.

..."I broke your thumb. You should be able to heal in about 2 weeks. How many people are in this gang?"...

..."We have 100 dealers, 10 snipers and 400 other men."...

Chiara grinned and helped her competitor up. The men around her clapped.

..."So, do you guys have a base? I need to see how good you guys are."...

..."*Did you hear about it? Those 3rd placed losers got a new boss."...

..."Really? Who is he?"...

..."Its a she Nick."...

..."Oh shit. Do you think what I'm thinking?"...

..."Go tell Rose and Kayla*."...

Nick ran out of his room and up into the second story. He burst into Rose's room. They were sitting on the bed staring at their computer.

..."I know where Chiara is."...

..."Already? She ran away 3 hours ago. Usually it takes longer to find her."...

..."She took over an Underground gang. They aren't as good as us, but not bad."...

..."Yeah, that sounds like her. Most likely she wants make them better and train them. After shes done with them, they'll be unbeatable. She's a ruthless teacher. She taught us Taekwondo for a day. We weren't allowed to eat till we got them basics perfect."...

..."Yeah. Remember her making fun of us eating so much and going to bed early?"...

..."Jep, she only eats once a day. I bet she doesn't sleep at all."...

Rose's eyes got teary.

..."*You know, I wish we could go back to those days before we suddenly were in such high rankings and our lives were at stake all the time. I don't know if Chiara likes this life or if she just wants to prove herself she isn't weak."...

..."I'll get her back today."...

..."How? If you challenge her to a duel, I don't know if you'll survive. If she wants someone dead, nothing can really stop her."...

..."That's what I need you for. You should come during the duel and make her not pay attention for a moment. Then I win, get a few more people for the gang and she has to stay, she'd stay, right?"...

..."Well, she is loyal... If she has a master, she would give her life for him*."...

..."Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."...

He called a few guys together.

..."*If she fights me, don't help me. Ok? Even if it looks like she's killing me, don't even dare think of helping me. Understood?"...

..."Yes boss*."...

They got in a few cars and drove into the Tributes Teritorium. That was the name of Chiaras new gang. They had planned to get attacked, but there was no one. When they reached the main house, theg silently got out and walked in stealthily.

..."Since when do enemies walk into each others houses?"...

They looked up. Chiara stood at the top of a staircase staring down at them.

..."*But I must say, we were expecting you, so no need to feel bad about anything. I'd just recommend you put your guns down. There are a few snipers with the command to shoot if I give the signal."...

..."I wanted to duel you. If I win, the gang belongs to me and I'm your new master. If you win, feel free to kill me*."...

When he said master, she clenched her fists and laughed bitterly.

..."Are you in the position to tell me what to do right now? Put down your weapons, then I'm ready to talk."...

Nick nodded and they carefully put down their weapons and pushed them a few meters away. Rode walked in from the side and put an arm around Chiara. He whispered something in her ear. Nick stiffened.

..."I doubt that you could beat my master, Night. She beat me in the wink of an eye. I didn't even touch her and was already laying on the ground."...

Nick nodded but was nervous, Rode was ok, but if she defeated him as fast as he said, he started actually thinking if he was wrong about that he was better than Chiara.

..."*So? Do you accept my proposal to a duel?"...

..."If I win, I want your gang too. Not only your death."...

..."Fine*."...

She lifted a hand and a few snipers walked out of the shadows.

..."If you dare cheat or one of your men helps you, I won't even give a signal. Theg will immediatly kill all of you."...

Then she waved a hand and a few men ran out from the side. They picked up all their weapons. Then she slowly walked down the staircase, Rode followed her carefully, ready to jump in front of her if one of them pulled out a hidden gun. Nick's men backed up a few meters. Nick himself took off all the things he didn't need and pushed them behind himself. He even took off his bulletproof vest. Chiara waited impatiently.

..."You finished? I ain't got all day. I just took over a few hours ago."...

..."Yeah, I'm finished."...

The rest of Chiaras gang appeared and watched Chiara and Nick carefully circle each other. Chiara attacked first, she kicked at his stomache only to punch him in the face often he dodged. He managed to kick her in the side what made her being herself out of his reach. This went on for a while. Then nick secretly havd the signal to one of his men and he secretly called Rose and Kayla in.

Rode noticed this and whispered in her ear while she was in front of him.

..."They are getting someone. One of our men watching outside just told me it's two girls. Your age."...

She nodded and payed attention not to look at the door. Suddenly she heard a scream. One of Nick's men held a small knife to Rose's throat. Chiara looked away. This was most likely a tactic to make her not pay attention. Then she saw Nick. He seemed as surprised as she was.
