The Battle to End All Battles, Part 1

Get your party gown

Get your pigtail down

Get your heart beatin' baby

Got my timin' right

Got my act all tight

It's gotta be tonight my little schoolbabe

Your mama says you don't

And your daddy says you won't

And I'm burnin' up inside

Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time

Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down

Lock your daddy out of doors

I don't need him nosing around

Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down

Give me all your love tonight

• Tie Your Mother Down, Queen

The radio was blasting as Nuzo and Diana rode their way through the streets of South Beach via a motorcycle, apparently expecting the three gangs to show up at any given time. When they finally stopped outside the Warlords's base, the dark-haired Bluebird switched the radio off and his sister would take out a pair of binoculars after removing her helmet.

Looking through the binoculars, the brunette was surprised that she saw a glimpse of Psychosis knocking on the door leading to the Warlords's building. The doors would then open, and Dr. Feelgood stepped out.

"So you and your friends came back here, right?" the junkie asked.

"Yeah. What happened to Ripper and Marcie?" the Rogues's leader asked.

The Warlords's leader had nothing to say; several Warlords had investigated the burning building that used to be to Corporate Crooks's hideout, and realized that Ripper and Marcie were in the building, already burnt to a crisp.

"Let's talk about those Warriors and their friends; when they get here, don't let Mercy near Swan." Dr. Feelgood replied.

"Oh, sure. Cool." Psychosis said with a small smirk.

As Diana lowered her binoculars, she told Nuzo, "So it looks like the Corporate Crooks are done for; and since the Warriors, the Crescent Moons and the Gamers are coming to deal with the Warlords and Rogues, it's about time we meet up with them."

"They're probably looking for them right now." the dark-haired Bluebird replied.

The brunette writer put her helmet back on, and the brother-sister duo rode on, hoping to catch up with the Warriors, the Gamers and the Crescent Moons.

After exiting the subway, the three gangs began their long walk to the Warlords's hideout, anticipating the presence of not only the Rogues, but also the Warlords themselves. They were also going to free Mercy from captivity, as she was growing more impatient.

They all decided to equip themselves with various weapons: while Ajax, Snow, Vermin, Jake, Hoagie, Carabello, Berlin and Pacman preferred to fight with their fists, Swan, Vermin, Cowboy, Cochise, Slattery, Delores, Amy and Highscore chose to take knives or pipes with them. Rembrandt and Lisa, on the other hand, had both knives and their trusty cans of spray paint.

"Well, this is the end of the road for all of us. We bopped all over New York to fight those that cooperated with the Rogues and the Warlords, and found our allies in their time of need." the Crescent Moons's leader said.

"It's time for them to get made for good, so that we don't see them ever again." the Warriors's leader replied.

"Let's do this!" the dark-skinned Gamer added.

The three gangs would then show up outside the Warlords's base, ready to fight the the enemy once and for all.

Making sure the Warlords weren't around, the Warriors went inside first, followed by the Gamers, and finally the Crescent Moons. As they made their way into the hideout, Mercy was sitting on one of the couches, apparently disgusted at a sleeping Warlord next to her.

She then took notice of Swan, and immediately got up, running over to him and hugging him. "Swan, what took you so long?! I had been waiting for a few fuckin' hours while these junkies tried offering me cocaine and heroin and shit! About time my man came for me!" she said.

The Warriors's leader nodded, sporting a half-smile, before the sound of a motorcycle was heard outside. The three gangs then brought their attention to Nuzo and Diana, as the two Bluebirds discarded their helmets.

"About time you and your dumb brother showed up." Ajax told her.

"Yeah, he's trying to find a girl to get laid with." the brunette Bluebird said with a grin.

Her brother just clenched his teeth as he stared at the Warriors's main muscle, but was given a tap on the shoulder by his sister. She gave him a glare, before asking, "Did you find Dr. Feelgood and Psychosis?"

"I'm quite sure they're probably around the building, or something..." Slattery replied as he pondered.

"Oh, really? Is that so?" a voice called out.

The four gangs then discovered Dr. Feelgood and the Warlords entering the building, followed by Psychosis and the Rogues. The battle to end all battles was ready to begin!
