Darklands 5

"So looks like I turned up a lil late"
"You sound like you expected something to be going on sigma"
"I was"
Well Sigma is technically the Godfather. The creator of Darklands and Angels, yet he seems to wander around alone, visiting gangs for a few hours then re-appearing some weeks later. Maybe I should tell you more.
Sigma A.K.A. SigmaDark, the Godfather, Irish Freak, Osinio Sigmata. And occasionally Oisin. What can I say, He's the legend, without him there would just be allot of small time gangs running around all other the place. He served in a SWAT team for some years till one of his colleagues tried to wipe him out, so naturally he formed a gang causes allot of havoc and totally wiped out the city's SWAT teams, then decides to retire from leading a gang.
"So why did you expect something to happen?"
"Some thugs tried to keep me out of the picture"
"You ok sigma” came he frantic voice of Flakey.
"No Corn he’s dead." Corn got another slap round the back of his head.
"Vetch grow up you little dipshit."
"You starting sigma?"
"Yeah what you gonna do about it?"
"Open a case of Stella and get this spot cleaned up. That’s what."
"Ha. So what exactly happened?"
"The Dickwad called Dragon Rider."
"Ah so what happened to him?"
"You shot him you Muppet."
"Oh yeah, well vie killed allot of people tonight."
"Who and why?"
So he started his story. And although I can't recall all the specifics it went something like this....

Sigma walked over to the bridge in the park, a dark shadow loomed in the center of it. As he approached the dim light's helped him make out the face. The face was covered with scars of every size and shape. This guy had a disfigured nose and an ear missing. He slowly turned to look at Sigma.
"Is you da one who know bout darkhands?"
"You mean Darklands?"
"Dat wat me said Darkhands"
"Yeah ok its me, what of it?"
"Me has insructer ions"
"Instructions. Do you have a have a IQ of 7?"
"Huh"
"Just get on with it what am I needed here for?"
"Oh ya me was told, dat sigma must die or me not come back."
"So you plan to kill me?"
"Ya"
"How?"
"Wit dis" the guy pulled out a small pistol with a silencer attached and began to aim at sigma.
Well sigma seen the gun, jumped onto the fence then hurled himself at the brute, swung his foot round and hit the guy as hard as he could on the left side of his face.
There was a loud crack, and the guy fell back dead. Sigma reached down grabbed the gun threw away the silencer and pocketed the gun. He had a feeling things were going to be bad and he might not have enough ammunition in his Desert Eagle.
In quick order he searched he guy for other stuff. He got a few clips, some gum, a phone and a dagger.
He made sure the guns had full ammo, checked his watch, and then dialed Darklands number...
"Hello who is this calling?"
"Its me Sigma."
The phone was hung up at this point.
Then he saw the shadows coming from all directions. There must have been at least a dozen and they all were well armed. Well to save you the hassle of reading about every twist and turn, every shot and explosion ill skip to the end. There was sigma standing alone holding an assault riffle breathing heavily. Blood covered his face but it wasn’t his. He had looted the dead, acquired allot of jewelry and phones, threw allot of guns into his car and set of to the Darklands hideout.

Darklands chapter 4

"Well guys suit up its time to get this operation underway."
"What’s the plan again Vetch?"
"Very simple one we'll go for good old plan A. Corn."
"Oh you mean guns blazing, firing as much lead through the air as possible and leaving nothing left vertical?"
"How many other plan A's are there you dumbass." while I was saying this Cornflake got a slap on the back of his head.
"Backups well use C and M, C being to throw in a lot of grenades and M being the one where we make a distraction and leg it. You understand that flakey?"
"I'm not a moron."
"You could have fooled me,” said the distant voice of Ska as he had already started running away.
"YOUR DEAD!!!" shouted corn as he ran full pelt after Ska.
Kasumi was trying desperately to maintain a steady face as she walked from the building. Her arm was round the waist of trouble who was looking very proud.
There we were the complete gang, Me, Kasumi, Cornflake, Skaman, TiddlyWink, Deadly sin, Westbrook, Kexos, and Trouble who isn’t technically in Darklands I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him but he’s kasumi's 'latest' so he gets to come, go figure. So the operation is simple we assassinate an assassin nice huh? This guy got in Darklands and ended up trying to kill me, and I just happen to have got information from a source, (known as DL), that’s this guy is hiring some mercenaries tonight to help him out. Before we proceed ill introduce you to one of our other members; Kexos he’s basically the new guy in the gang and technically what you’d call a laborer, no great skills but as far as guts go he’s worthy to be in Darklands.
So we pulled up and piled out of the van, grabbed our weapons and got in place to storm the front of the building, which looked hard, for a guess id have to say it was a meter of solid concrete, with a solid metal door with no visible hinges.
"Hey Vetch how the hell are we going to get inside there?" came the irritating voice of TiddlyWink.
"Kasumi has that all sorted. Just wait." at this point I strode up to the door knocked twice then turned and walked back. Presently the door opened and out walked the last person they expected to see....
Demone stood there a giant amongst men holding what was clearly a minigun, and had a big grin on his face along with a few specs of blood. Demone A.K.A Ben he is kasumi's bodyguard', and as i've already said is a titan. He's in a major gang but still finds time to be at her side scowling at all who approach.
"Well glad to see you turned up but the meeting isn’t here, they knew you were coming so left half a dozen men behind to kill you, I made sure I was one of them lil miss." he said to kasumi, he did have a tendency to ignore everyone else.
"Where is the meeting then?" asked kasumi.
"You’re not going to like it."
"Why? Where is it?” she asked nervously.
"Your hideout"
"What the fuck do thy think there doing claiming my building! Guys this is now a masacre!" i said this as I threw my G'Lock into the van and pulled out my Magnum's. (Which was a sign thing just got serious).
"I’m sorry but I cant help you, our gang has some problems of its own I must attend to. Try to keep safe." as he walked away he suddenly stopped turned around and threw a small lion teddy at kasumi then ran off.
Kasumi shouted her gratitude and hugged the small lion. By this time I had the van ready to go.

War was at hand and they had the advantage.

So we arrived to our barn which sucked when we purchased it, it was just a barn but we totally remodeled it, it is three meter thick reinforced concrete with a huge metal door that lifts open the outside of the building has had the old wooden walls attacked to it, for camouflage reasons, we have several gattling guns fitted that when activated open out and fire constant rounds at anything that moves. Every single shell has the ability to destroy a car. We also have an underground bunker filled with enough arms to keep a small army well equipped for a long time. We’ve got our vehicle collection in there, which includes a few light tanks that the military 'lost'. Basically we’ve got everything in there except what were carrying in the van and our apache helicopter that’s not too far away hidden well that we could still gain access to if we really needed to.

"Darklands to arms! this is going to be tough you all know how tough our hideout is. Many gangs have lost their members on the turf that were now standing on. Ska can you disable the automated weapons and the door from out here?"
"It'll be hard as hell but I can try."
"Get right to it time isn’t on our side"
"Guys make every shot count they have enough ammo to last them a few months and food supplies to last even longer. We’ve got about an hours worth of constant firing per weapon."
"Vetch is right, try to be accurate and cause as little damage as possible because it will be us who has the fix it all afterwards." Said Kasumi.
And so it started we all got to safe positions a Corn, Ska and Kex had sniper rifles even though I reminded them that the little glass window was bulletproof. So we sat there waiting Kasumi fired three shots at the door that just went through the wood like butter then slightly scratched the cold hard steel behind this was just to let them know we'd arrived. As we waited the skinny little runt Dragon Rider looked out from the window, To intimidate him I fired a bullet at the window which would of got him right between the eyes if the glass wasn’t there. It was pretty funny to see him fall backwards out of surprise, but it didn’t take long for him to stand up and flip us of with his hand. A few seconds later the gun doors opened and they emerged ready to fire at any movement. Kasumi threw a pebble into the air that was shot by three of them at the same time.
We sat there unable to move because of the guns. Then we all heard ska's voice in our headsets.
"Guys i’ve managed to get a EMP (electro magnetic pulse) generator set up using the vans battery, my phone and a old laptop it’ll give us about twenty seconds to get to the door and push it open."
"Way to go Ska. Guys well have to make this count that door is heavy."
So Ska turned on his device the guns instantly went limp and everyone ran to the door an ak-47 was jammed under the door and used as a lever to lift it several inches. The entire gang then lifted the door and the AK was jammed in to hold it about two-foot open. Just as we jammed the old gun there the door and the guns came back online along with the floodlights and the siren. We looked at Ska puzzled and he just laughed and said.
"A EMP disables all electrical devices they just all came on with the reboot."
"Well there goes our element of surprise."
So we crept in we were now safe from the building's defenses but there were armed thugs inside and we didn’t know how many. Bullets filled the air the second we left the entrance as we ran to cover in the hall and the difference in skill was seen straight away. There were about twenty of those mercenaries, Carrying good guns from our stores shooting randomly the only one of them who had any real skill was Dragon Rider, He was kasumi's 'previous' who abandoned Darklands and tried to get me killed many times.
The hired thugs fell like flies one after another in an ever-increasing rate until there was only Dragon and us. Things suddenly changed Dragon threw down his riffle grabbed a rocket launcher dived to the side and fired it the rocket flew forward and everything seemed to slow down we all stared as the rocket aimed straight for its mark. Kexos tried to dive but the last thing he saw was a bright white flash. We stood there stunned our comrade had been totally blown to pieces.
Things got allot worse for Dragon. Everyone started firing everything possible using duel weapons.
He sat there waiting behind a the wall of the balcony.
As we shot Corn had ran of and he appeared on the balcony we all stopped shooting and watched as he grabbed dragon and threw him of the balcony then dived of after him.
I ran over seized Dragons weapon and motioned for everyone to come over to make a ring.
Dragon knew what was happening the only way he could survive was to beat every member in hand-to-hand combat. Which wouldn’t be fun.
So they squared of corn reached into his pocket and got out a knuckle-duster that gave him the advantage. Ska then threw him another so he had a pair. And was ready to break the face of Dragon Rider.
Cornflake had it won from the first hit, a well-placed hit in the stomach to wind him and make him unable to fight for several seconds. That also made some ribs cracks. Then he started pummeling his face. We all stood there everyone except Ska and trouble was wearing knuckle-dusters on both hands ready for the worst. Though we knew it wouldn’t be necessary. Cornflake was beating Dragon Rider to death with relative ease. In fact he hadn’t been hit yet. Dragon rolled forwards pulled a small gun from his boot turned...
The noise of a bullet ripped through the air a large red circle appeared on the wall and Dragon Rider had a large hole in his forehead he fell to his knees, blinked. Then collapsed.
"You lot are lucky I came for a visit" came the unmistakable voice of SigmaDark.

Darklands chapter 3

"Well guys guess what?"
"What Vetch?" said flakey rather daintily.
"I’m bored flakey"(last time I said this a bank lost a lot of money and several security guards).
"How did I know you were going to say that, ok how we going to solve this problem?"
"I don’t know, let's ask kas. KAS!!! Get your cute lil ass in here!"
"Make me!"
Huh I guess I should introduce you to kas. (Kas short for kasumi, AKA Cindy, kasamatron, and that hot ass beast.) She was the first of us to leave the DL because reb was being a dickwad. Closely followed by me, go figure. And for some reason she always wanted to be the co-leader never the leader of a gang. She is a master in the art of using a gun, so accurate I swear she could shoot another persons bullet from the air. Kas is involved in our ‘plan’ that you will come across later on. She brings the essential qualities to the gang, the looks the confidence and the general successfulness. I’m the guy who brings the dumb ideas that usually work.
Well back to the story.
"Kas I know your coming anyway so don’t be smart with me!"
"You know me too well"
"I try but you are a very weird person."
"Your kidding Vetch how the hell can you call me weird!"
"I agree with you their kasumi" came ska's reply from the rafters.
"Don’t make me hurt you Ska, and kas hurry up this is reeeeally important!"
At this point she walks into the room wearing tall black boots that clawed their way up her legs to just under her knees, a small skirt that was meant to tempt, and a tight fitting top that revealed a whole lot of stomach. She had three painted grenades hung on the rim of the skirt and carried a samurai sword with her left hand. Her hair was hanging down to the middle of her back and shining slightly in the light. All the time looking very curious about what was going on."So Vetch what’s the emergency?"
"I'm bored"
She looked stunned and slightly pissed off, she twirled around bringing her sword down in a surely fatal blow, but we know each other well and the second I seen her arm twitch I jumped forward grabbing the knife from my boot, stood up just in front of her with the knife held to her stomach and lightly kissed her on the forehead.
"Your getting slow Cindy"
She laughed at that remark and said "oh really" as she said this she grabbed the knife jumped backwards and kicked me squarely in the middle of the chest, and landed a few metres away on her feet, then proceeded to straighten her hair.
"Kas if I didn’t know any better id of thought you were trying to hurt me then."
"You would of known if I was, and by the way that’s one nil to me"
"How do you figure that out? Surely its one nil to me today"
"Oh God damit vetch your so ignorant at times I beat you then and you know it"
"You did, did you?"
"Yes"
"Really?"
"YES!"
" You lie"
"No I bloody well don’t"
"Then why you got c4 on your back? And what have I got the detonator in my left hand?"
Her jaw literally fell open as she reached round and pulled the small plastic bomb from her back. While this was happening both corn and Ska were laughing their Asses of from the rafters above.
"Guess you win Ska here’s your cash. "Whispered cornflake.
"Hey flakey!"
"Yes vetch?"
"Did you bet against me then?"
"Err... no I just owed him that"
"Sure you did dickwad. So kas back to the matter at hand i’m bored...."

darklands chapter 2

"Hey guys you hear the news?"
"What news Vetch?" came the rather mournful reply from cornflake.
"Well Coldest was out taking a stroll you know the kind I mean, where a few shops loose a lot of cash"
"We certainly know those stroll’s" came a voice from the rafters.
"Hey Ska. Well while he was collecting funds a certain person may have jumped him kicked 2 bags of s**t from him and informed the police that he was there."
"Oh my god, Vetch well done."
"Thanks flakey, that’ll give Rebelgium something to think about."
Before I go any further with this conversation ill introduce you to these new faces.
Cornflake (A.K.A flakey, corn, watch ya ma call him and oi you) is the team’s munitions expert (by expert I mean he hordes it, you cant move around his room because of the dang stuff) he’s handy to have around, and a laugh at times, he’s pretty young but seen more action than a lot of the war veterans. He was very high up in the Divine legion. (A group of gangs all controlled by Rebelgium (who is the leader of angels if you were wondering)). But this son of a b***h is one guy who would fight to the death by your side and rather take a bullet to the face than let a friend of his die.
Ska-Man (A.K.A. Ska, the Ska, or that weird guy who likes to wear three quarter length pants all the god damn time). This guy is sort of a package deal he’s Corn’s right hand man so you get corn you get Ska but Jesus, what this guy can do with a computer is unbelievable once for a laugh he hacked into the pentagon and set several missiles to self destruct then framed some minor gang for it. Even you’ve got to admit that that was impressive.
Well where was I, oh yes we were gloating about the angels loosing another valued member. Well I say valued but reb don’t give a dang about anyone but the mushroom headed freak (that’s himself dumbass). Originally all of our members…(I might not have said but were the gang called Darklands which was formerly known as exile. Created by the person who created angels and saints. The legend himself SigmaDark.)… Came from the divine legion for various reasons which I’ll let you know in due time.

Darklands chapter 1

Well what a fun day I had, woke up, walked the dog, and got mugged. Guess that’s LA for ya. But the ironic thing is, it’s my job to try and catch these gang members that infect America. Which isn’t as much fun as you’d think.
Maybe I should introduce myself. I happen to be Mark Pennick. A 20-year-old male caucasian, (according to my drivers licence), working in the FBI’s Los Angeles gang crime division. The pay’s not to bad and its got one hell of a pension scheme but it gets awfully repetitive scanning through evidence trying to confirm the id of many gang members and leaders in a bid to stop their activities. Oh well that’s some boring stuff out of the way lets crack on…
“Your late for work again”
“Really I hadn’t noticed”
“Don’t get smart with me mark your over three hours late, why shouldn’t I fire you right now?”
“Well sir. I may happen to be the best guy in my division and I may also have a great reason for being late, and may have just helped us out significantly. Sir.”
“Well what’s your reason?”
“ I got mugged.”
“Oh, well in that case I think we can let you off with being late, you alright son?”
“Do I look hurt? It takes more than one of the members of Angels to take me down.”
“Your joking right, a member of Angels tried to mug you?”
“That’s what I said” at this moment I couldn’t help but grin, the old man was stunned. In case you didn’t know Angels is a criminal gang with over a hundred members, they have a very long criminal record that would impress almost anyone.
“Jesus, which guy was it? And what’s happened to him?”
“Well I don’t know his real name but the name embroidered on his chest said Coldest. And we both know he’s fairly high up in that gang what I cant figure out is why he was doing a mugging when those guys make million’s each week. I guess he gets a kick from it. He’s locked up in the police station so i'm sure we can send round the usual rabble to beat some information from him.”
“Well done Mark feel free to take the rest of the day of this could turn this whole gang problem thing right round.”
“ No thanks Sir I’ll be here working like everyone else till we’ve eliminated these gangs once and for all. But I may take half a hour or so and go visit the guys in the labs the stuff they do never stops to amaze me.”
“Feel free to”“Thank you sir. Much appreciated.”
