Clash in SoHo

"Hey, we're here to find the Hi-Hats." Jake told the small group of Electric Eliminators.

"Really? You wish to seek an audience with them? Because they're collaborating with the Corporate Crooks and Rogues to waste your asses?" a blond Eliminator asked.

"Yeah, so and did the Satan's Mothers, the AC's, and even the Yellowjackets." Slattery replied.

"Well, if you want to see the Hi-Hats, then you gotta get past us." a dark-haired Eliminator said.

"But what about you guys? Are you with the Rogues and Corporate Crooks? Or are you neutral?" Hoagie asked.

"We're neutral, but then again, we want to see if you guys are man enough to take us down." a dark-skinned Eliminator replied.

Jake raised an eyebrow at the bleached blond Crescent Moon, and Slattery smirked before the five Eliminators began to take on Slattery, Jake, Hoagie, Pacman and Highscore.

The first of the Eliminators, who sported dark hair and convinced the Crescent Moons and Gamers to fight them, lunged straight at Hoagie, and managed to deliver a flurry of punches to the torso area. After uppercutting him, Berlin took notice and approached the dark-haired Eliminator, punching him in the face before kneeing him in the groin and kicking him to the ground.

Meanwhile, a few other Eliminators, who were break-dancing to some music on a boom box, noticed the fight, and began to encourage the yellow jacket-sporting men to keep attacking. Back in the fight, the dark-skinned Eliminator that challenged the two gangs to a fight with them was up against Pacman.

The dark-skinned Eliminator had attempted to put the Gamer in a chin-lock, but he was able to reverse it and gave him a punch to the skull, before proceeding to deliver a bulldog on him. The Gamer then went over to help Highscore out, who was up against another dark-haired Eliminator.

Just as the second dark-haired Eliminator was about to smash Highscore's head to the fence, he was caught from behind as Pacman grabbed his arms, allowing his friend to double-team him. The blond Gamer gave him several punches to the jaw, and threw him into the fence, prompting the other Eliminators from the other side to take notice and taunt the Gamers.

An Eliminator with sandy blond hair was now toe-to-toe with Slattery, as he managed to unleash a torrent of punches and kicks on the Crescent Moons leader. However, Lisa snuck up from behind and grabbed the Eliminator, and put one of her spray cans up to his face and sprayed at him with it.

Temporarily blind, the fourth Eliminator was then laid out as the Crescent Moons's leader elbowed him in the chest, and kicked him in the shin, and finally giving him a knockout punch. The fifth and final Eliminator, who explained that the Hi-Hats were in league with the Rogues and the Corporate Crooks, managed to grab Delores and pull out a knife, aiming it at her throat.

Slattery took notice and told him, "Hands off my wife, you son of a bitch!"

The final Eliminator replied, "Just try me."

The Crescent Moons's leader attempt to take a step forward, but the Eliminator trailed the knife across Delores's skin. Fortunately, she elbowed him in the stomach and pushed herself off of him, allowing her to knee him in the chest and deliver a kick to the head.

With all five Eliminators defeated, the blond Eliminator told the Crescent Moons and Gamers, "You know, you really did well beating the shit out of us."

"Oh, yes, we did. Now we should continue our little journey of ours." Slattery said, as he and the Crescent Moons, as well as the Gamers, began to continue their trek through SoHo.

Just as the Crescent Moons and Gamers arrived outside of Chatterbox's gallery, which also happen to be the Hi-Hats's base of operations, it was now raining, much to the chagrin of Jake.

"Goddammit, we're gonna get soaked big time." he said.

"Don't worry about it, dude. I don't care if we get soaked to the skin, we just gotta get into the damn gallery and fight these weirdos." Hoagie replied.

"Right, come on!" Slattery told them before they decided to enter the building.

Once the doors were flung open thanks to Pacman, the Hi-Hats, as well as their new leader, Crackerjack, were listening to news concerning the attack on the Eliminators courtesy of the Crescent Moons and Gamers. However, they took notice, and with clenched teeth, the leader took out a knife from his pants pocket.

"If they ever get provoked, they're not afraid to express their anger through spoken words." Highscore told Slattery.

"Ah, yes, of course." the Crescent Moons's leader replied.

"Attack!" Crackerjack yelled, and with that, two more Hi-Hats went to either side of him.

"I guess it's gonna be you, me and Highscore." Jake told Hoagie.

The bleached blond Crescent Moon nodded his approval, before he, his friend and Highscore were now up against the trio of Hi-Hats.

The first of the Hi-Hats went up against the sole Gamer, and despite taking a few jabs to the stomach, he was able to surprise his enemy by kneeing him in the side, and throwing him onto a Chatterbox-esque statue. However, Pacman saved the day for his friend by attacking the Hi-Hat, using a few punches as well as snapping his neck.

Hoagie took on the second Hi-Hat, but was being closed to being choked when he punched him in the stomach, and kicked him in the face, before proceeding to punch him to submission. Finally, Jake and Crackerjack were neck-in-neck, as the Hi-Hats's leader attempted to stab one of the Crescent Moons's main muscle with his knife.

After a few tries, the leader slammed the knife into the blond Crescent Moon's torso, but was greeted by a punch to the jaw, as well as a suplex. Once the Hi-Hat was lying on the ground, his opponent stomped him on his stomach, but before he could starting coughing up blood, he raised his hands to him, indicating him to stop.

Jake raised an eyebrow, and could only watch as Crackerjack staggered to his feet, and took out what appeared to be a piece of paper from his other pants pocket. Slattery took the paper from him, and realized that it was a note that read:

"We were foolish to fight you; now the Rogues and Corporate Crooks will make us pay for failing to kill all three of you gangs.

But heed this warning: the Shamrocks are also aligned with the Corporate Crooks and Rogues and had the same mission that was given to us: to kill the Warriors, the Crescent Moons and the Gamers.

Please forgive us.

P.S. They're at the Bowery."

"That's not good...that son of a bitch, why would Michael want to side with the Rogues and Corporate Crooks anyways?" Amy asked.

"I have no clue, but I'm pretty sure we're gonna lay waste onto him when we find his ass." Berlin replied.

"Come on, let's get moving!" Slattery told the others, before they began to travel to the Bowery.
