Chapter 3 - The Slums and The Crack

The guy laughs at max realising the power Max holds. But he didn't realise that he was not fighting Max at this particular instinct. He was fighting an entity. He removed his tie and his crimson coat.

The entity started moving in random pattern in a sync that made a distorted noise shattering the man's ear but the man realised what the entity was doing.

"Quite an old move you're using pal." He says with a grin on his face as he understood what the entity was doing." You're not max right now, are you?"

Suddenly the entity flinged his whole arm towards the guy. But he swiftly blocked the attack and countered the entity by shattering the bones of his left arm. The entity screamed in agony and flinched away from the guy. He looked at the left arm and slowly healed it.

"You got a long way to go. But I see potential and a future, The city's future."

The entity tried to turn back but the guy hit him in the back of the neck. The entity screamed and grabbed the guy's hand but he swiftly moved towards the left and broke his right arm.

The entity screamed in agony and tried to reach for the guy but fell on the ground head on. The domain shattered in pieces.

"So this is what that guy was referring to, well I surely need one of these people in my gang." The guy says as he grabs his tie and coat mid air and puts it back on swiftly." It's still too late for the sun to rise. Hmm, I should keep him in my Base."

A weird smell brought Max to the times he skipped college to smoke with jone. He remembered jelin leaving for jone's gang that day. The betrayal only filled him with anger and regret. He only kept repeating the words ' I have to be stronger ' over and over again but suddenly he heard a voice. If sounded like jelin screaming in pain and asking for help.

"Hey Bob wake that bastard for me will ya?"

Max wakes up from a punch delivered as hard as a Tungsten. Max flew from the bed he was sleeping to the floor which was filled with a strange aroma. "Ew, where the fuck am I?" Max says as he slowly tries to get up. A hand comes around his face and a familiar voice comes " How are you doing max my boy? Call me mr El caramandor" the guy says as he looks at max with a pleasant smile. " Or people usually call me 'Mr. Sad uncle.' "

It was the guy Max had encountered last night. "Fuck off you piece of shit" Max says as he throws his hand away. He stands up and cleans his black shirt and pants. "What the fuck do you want?" He asks

" look here my friend max, all I want you is to join my gang and work under me, I know its all coming from nowhere but trust me it will ALL make perfect sense my brotha" says Mr. Sad uncle.

" Why the fuck do you think I would ever join a gang? Even if I join a gang why would I join a gang like yours?" Max says as he pushes Mr. Sad uncle with force as a sign of disrespect.

Mr Sad uncle sighs with a dissapointed look on his face. It was if he knew the situation would come to this. "Welp atleast i tried. Ay, even if I can't convince you maybe she can" He says as he points at another room.

"What the fuck is in that room that would convince me that 'Hey I should join this gang'?" Max says as he points at the room.

Suddenly Bob max appears and pushes him inside of the room.

"J-jelin?"

Max encounters jelin sleeping in the bed as she looked sick.

Next to her was an anonymous tall man looking at him with an intense glare.

The man looked pale and his skin looked burnt. He looked like an entity from another dimension rather than a human being from this city. He was skinny and had various abnormal features.

The man came near max and greeted him. " So you scum-fuck finally decided to wake up? The name's Kishadow buddy. Make yourself home, the future looks worse from here on out" he says while holding max's face with his single hand.

Max felt a strange aura around Kishadow. As if he was hopeless towards an entity like him. He couldn't even move a single muscle with the fear Kishadow evoked towards Max.

"Enough with the bullshit kishadow, don't evoke the new ones. They haven't gotten used to it" Mr uncle says from behind. " Max i need to seriously talk with you."

"You always ruin the fun Uncle" says Kishadow grinding his teeth. He set max free and went to check on the current situation of jelin.

Max and Mr Sad uncle walk outside.

"Look here max, jelin has told me alot about you and I saw your potential last night. I just want you to join my gang. I get a new member and you get to get together with your girl." Mr sad uncle says as he smokes a cigarette

"Where the fuck did you pull out the cigarette from?" Max asked in confusion while pointing at him.

Mr sad uncle looks at him and couldn't hold back his laughing.

"Max, Estás pero si bien pendejo!"

Mr sad uncle controls himself from laughing more at max and walks away.

"What the fuck did this bastard just say to me?" Max says to himself.

"He called you a fucking idiot retard."

Max turned as he saw Bob max standing behind him with intense smile. He looked down upon max and gave a warm pat on his head.

"Don't take our words for granted kid, You're just a newbie here. Take your time to adjust." Bob max says calmly as he rubs max's hair.

Max tries to remove Bob max's hand away from his head but couldn't. "Why in the fuck are you so strong?" He asked.

"Hmm? Oh thanks for the compliment, I usually don't get that around these slums."

Bob max says with happiness.

"Slums?"

Max looks around his surrounding and finds out that he is at the eastern corner of the city.

"Why the fuck am I in the slums area of the city?" Max shouts at Bob max.

"Relax buddy. Just cause this area is filled with crackheads and buggers doesn't mean it's a great hideout." Bob replies.

"Hideout?"

"Yeah. The gangs usually ignore these areas as they find no use to steal from a beggar here. So we're practically safe here." Bob replies.

"So you're telling me you all have been in the Eastern corner of the city making a gang?" Max asked with confusion.

"Technically speaking, we usually sleep here and hide our belongings such as clothes, assets and many more. We usually go to the western part of the city most of the time." Bob replies.

"This is ridiculous" Max says as he couldn't believe a single thing.

"Ay, you'll get used to it" Bob says with an energised expression.

"Yeah like I'll agree to take apart in this 'gang' of yours" Max says with arrogance

"Ay buddy we would have never thought of taking you in our gang. But jelin convinced El caramandor to take you in. And if jelin can convince someone like El caramandor, you know you're special. Plus you get to resolve things with the girl you love, maybe even a patch up if you're lucky. It's a win-win situation buddy." Bob max says as he grabs max with his shoulders.

"Hmm.... maybe I'll consider"

"Great now let's go get Mike shall we?" Bob says while grabbing max by his chest.

"Wait wha-"

Before max could say anything, Bob max gripped him by his chest and ran as fast as he could. He dashed through the eastern city and came through the mid part of the city.

"Whoa slow down"

"We're almost there buddy." Bob max says as he grips max harder and runs faster. His quads were feeling the pump as he ran more faster as the second passes.

Shortly, they arrived at the western left corner of the city.

"D-damn i got dizzy-"

Before Max could say anything he vomited right on the spot.

"Disgusting " Bob max says. "Ah well, we're

Here!"

"Huh, that's just a field of grass with a wind mill. Did you really fucking ran across from the eastern right corner to western left corner of the city just to show me a fucking windmill?" Max says with anger.

"Not quite, look closely." Bob max says as he points at the windmill.

The windmill looked normal at first but when Max looked closely he could see a strange figure above the windmill.

It was as if the person was enjoying the air while standing above the windmill.

"Who the fuck is above the windmill right now?" Max asked while looking at Bob max.

"That would be our next target who will be joining the gang...Mike"
