Ruckus in the Dining Room

"What the fuck do you mean, Slattery's in danger?!" Jake asked as he, Hoagie, Carabello and Berlin arrived at the estate.

The quartet had travelled from Times Square and back to Sea Gate after recieving a phone call from Delores. The blonde beauty explained that Lunar and the Moonrunners had invaded their house and were planning to kill them both.

Eventually, Lisa, Amy and Angela made their way to the estate, and much like Jake and the others, they were out of breath from all the running. "Come on!" the blonde writer commanded, and the seven would immediately enter the house.

Hurrying to the dining room, Lisa gasped when she saw Slattery and Delores tied to two of the dining chairs. "Dad! Mom! What did they do to you?!" she cried.

"We're not hurt or anything, though I did sustain a few bruises." the leader replied.

"Where's Lunar?" Lisa asked.

"Over here, you whore." a voice called out, and the seven Crescent Moons turned to find Lunar, wielding the same knife.

"Lunar, you jerk! Untie my parents, or face...my...wrath!" Lisa yelled through clenched teeth.

"You want your stupid parents alive? Then hand over the cash." Lunar replied.

"How much? I can give you 500 dollars, so that you can spend it on more paint, or even **** from Ripper!" the blonde said.

"Oh, no, no, no...I want more than that. How about...a million?" the Moonrunner said with a glint in his eye.

"One million?! Oh no..." Lisa said, then punched Lunar across the face and replied with, "I don't think so, you asshole! I'm not giving you any money if you want to set Mom and Dad free!"

It was considered to be unexpected for the blonde writer; she would be mad if anyone tried to harm her parents in front of her. She'd even risk her life in order to protect them.

"Really?" the dark-haired Moonrunner asked, a hand on his jaw as he stood up and yelled, "Moonrunners! Get her and her friends!"

Within seconds, five more Moonrunners came in, and Jake immediately came over to one and the two got in an altercation, starting with the first Moonrunner giving him a few punches to the face. However, the blond slammed him onto the wall and punched him in the stomach, before pushing him into the dining table, where he landed on his back, a slew of food and champagne landing onto him as the table crashed.

Two more Moonrunners would soon enter the dining room, and one of them lunged at Lisa, attempting to stab her in the chest, but was given a kick to the face. Next, Berlin and Hoagie double-teamed the other one and the bleached blond delivered a roundhouse kick to him.

The next Moonrunner of the original group of six, which included Lunar, managed to attack Carabello by elbowing him in the back, but was soon greeted by a high heel to the head, courtesy of Angela. She then slammed the heel of her shoe into his throat, almost to point of not giving him any oxygen to breathe, before pushing him to the ground.

Amy was suddenly cornered by three of the Moonrunners, but immediately took out a china plate from a nearby cupboard, and slammed it onto the first one's head, then kneed the second in the crotch. The last one would be greeted by a chokehold from Berlin, allowing the redhead to escape.

Lisa immediately ran over to Lunar, but was attacked by the last remaining Moonrunner, and was then thrown out to the backyard. From there, Lisa was punched a few times in the face, before she struck back with a punch of her own.

Lunar would then attempt to stab Lisa with his knife, but Jake took hold of him, and threw him into the deep end of the large swimming pool. After several seconds of being underwater, Lunar soon came up for air and yelled while trying to catch his breath, "You...You fuckers! Allright, you win...but this ain't over yet!"

Along with the rest of the Moonrunners, the dark-haired man immediately ran out of the estate through the backyard. The Crescent Moons were apparently out of breath, before Lisa ran over to Slattery and Delores.

As she began to untie her parents, the blonde writer asked, "Dad, is it allright if we clean up the dining room? We can get ourselves a new dining table."

"That sounds fine, as long as those Moonrunner assholes don't come back." Slattery replied as he finally stood up, adjusting his tie.

Delores finally told Lisa, "I'm sorry that your father and I weren't aware that the Moonrunners were outside our house. We were just having a simple dinner, just the two of us, but then they came in to ruin things for us."

"Don't worry, Mom..." the blonde writer said with a smile. "I'm pretty sure it's the last we'll ever see of Lunar."

The older blonde smiled, and the Crescent Moons began to work together in cleaning the mess on the now destroyed dining table.

At South Beach, Dr. Feelgood was lounging at his base when he heard the sound of a door knocking. He got up to answer, and grinned as he exclaimed, "Ripper, buddy! Long time no see!"

Ripper smiled back as he and Marcie entered the building. "Allright, Feelgood, I think we got ourselves a big opportunity: our two gangs should side with the Rogues. That way, we can go after both the Crescent Moons, the Gamers AND the Warriors. Hell, we're gonna be even bigger and better than those three gangs combined. And when we're done with them, we're gonna throw a huge party, full of **** and kinky sex!" he explained.

"Absolutely fuckin' right! In fact, I'd like a meeting with the Rogues, and see if Psychosis can agree to help us out with our problems with those purple and red chumps." Dr. Feelgood said as he sat back on a sofa.

"Exactly. Let's do that!" Ripper said as he smacked his hands together and made a fist pump to the floor.
