『 DANCE FLOOR 』

"Now, now. That's just unfair. 50 against 1?" Bas said as she cracked her knuckles, neck and stretched her body and legs.

"This is getting exciting. Let's dance, then." She smirked, gripping her right fist in her left palm.

Some of the Odessians guys were not budging from their spots as they were hesitated to brawl with Bas. The rumors about her soloed a 100 men worried and scared them. There was no way in hell they wanna deal with her.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? Why aren't you guys moving?" Guy 2 asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"Don't tell me you guys are scared of this lil bitch." Guy 4 scoffed.

"About time! It's our turn to beat you to a pulp." Guy 3 exaggerated while cracking his knuckles.

"I've been holding grudges for too long. My hands are itching to kill you." Guy 1 grinned widely to Bas.

Guy 2, Guy 4, Guy 3 along with Guy 1 stepped forward and surrounded her. The other members stepped back.

"Is she really gonna single-handedly fight all of these men?" Dan thought to himself as he watched from behind the bar. He then remembered something and looked down at the gun. Should he?

Adri, who sensed his uneasiness, looked at him.

"Don't even think of using that dangerous weapon. A fight with a fist have to be responded with a fist." She said, making him taken aback.

"Ippei, take that gun and put it somewhere." Adri commanded and he complied as he had just finish with treating her wounds and bruises, and putting plasters and bandaging them. Carrying the gun with a handkerchief and went towards the back door, bringing the first aid kit along, putting it back to its original place.

"I told you she soloed a hundred men, didn't I? Fifty men is gonna be a piece of cake for her." Adri said while raising an eyebrow.

"Sorry..." He stuttered apologetically.

"What was I thinking?! Why did I ever think of using a handgun and to shoot?" He thought and face-palmed himself mentally.

"Just watch, Dan." Adri said and shifted her gaze at the dance floor, so did Dan. She now knew his name since Ippei introduced him to her.

"Do entertain me, Odessians." Bas smirked, standing in a fighting stance.

"I'm sure they gonna win against her. They're the strongest of Odessians after all." A member confidently said. 

"You're right. There's no way they gonna lost to a girl. Those rumors must be fake." Another member snickered. The other members around them agreed and smirked confidently.

Just as that member finished saying that, Guy 2 was getting punched on the face and flew towards him. The collision made him and members around him fell on their butts. This shocked the members as they continued to watch the feud at the middle of the dance floor.

Seeing his friend flew by only one punch from Bas, Guy 3 yelled out angrily, "You bitch!"

He then charged towards Bas with a fist and swung it towards her head but she ducked her head and swung his right fist upward, punching him on the chin, throwing him backwards.

Guy 1 and Guy 4 rushed towards her at the same time, Guy 1 from the right and Guy 4 from the left. They swung their fist towards her face but before their fists could land on her face, she swerved her head backward. She then kneed Guy 4 on the stomach and punched his face with her tattooed fist. She then faced Guy 1, who was standing behind her.

"I thought you gonna kill me?" Bas mocked while smirking, making his blood boiled.

"Just so you wait, you damned bitch!" He said angrily through gritted teeth before launching himself towards her.

He swung his fist towards her torso but she managed to grab his wrist with her left hand and tackled his legs while gripping his neck with her right hand tightly. Falling on his back with Bas on top of him, she smashed his head to the dance floor. He shrieked in pain. She then punched his face few times because why not, until blood was gushing out of his nose before she stood up from him and stepped on his face roughly.

"Huh?! No way she beat them down in one blow!" She could heard an Odessians member exclaimed.

"This is bad news...!" A member trembled.

"How dull. I'm so dissatisfied. You guys are just like back then. Pathetic." She snickered to the unconscious guys before kicking Guy 1 on the torso, making him rolled few meters away from the dance floor and landed in front of the Odessians members.

"Now, who else?! Who else wants to dance?" She asked loudly to the other Odessians, only to receive no response.

"Nobody? I thought all fifty of you can come at me and fight. How upsetting..." She sarcastically pouted but then, the pout turned into a sinister grin.

"Then, I'll be the one to come at you." She grinned evilly before launching towards them, few of them were stepping back.

She excitedly swung her right fist on the guys that was on her way. Some of the guys were brave enough to launch towards her and attacked her, which surprised and excited her.

"Woah! That's the spirit! Come on! Come at me some more!" She yelled excitedly while punching them.

Lysha, who was now standing next to Adri at the bar, was shocked to see Bas. Dan and Ippei, too was shocked to see her crazily beat those guys.

"What a lunatic..." Lysha thought.

"This girl... What the hell is she? She beat those guys so easily like nothing. Those guys are like taller and muscular than her, and also older than her. So, how?" Dan thought as he watched with wide eyes.

"Miss Bas is really one of the strongest, huh? Seems like no one in this club is on par with her Heavenly Fist." Ippei said as he was amazed at the scene unfolding in front of him.

Then, suddenly, Azuna stood few steps away from Adri in front of the bar with blood stained on her forehead and a huge grin on her face.

"She just got her head smashed on the floor by Bas and yet, she still can grin?" Adri thought as she frowned at her. Oh, how much she wanted to wipe that annoying grin off of her face.

Adri stood up and faced Azuna. 

"I just realized that your boyfriend isn't here, Adri. Where is he? He's always by your side to protect you." Azuna spoke up, referring to Genki.

"Oh, ya! He's dead! He's dead, Adri! He's no longer here to protect you!" She yelled maniacally.

Adri's eyes were widened at what Azuna just said. How did she know he died. Does that mean...?

"You're the one that killed him, weren't you?" She asked, her eyes turning dark as seconds passed.

Azuna started to laugh like a psychopath loudly. "Yes! Yes! I was the one who crashed him. Must be sad, right? Wonder how being hit by a car to death feels like... Must be painful." She answered provokingly.

Azuna's answers downed into Adri. Her hands began to shake, her breathing became heavy and she felt like crying out of frustration, hatred and anger. All this time... All this time, it was Azuna all along. She was the killer all along. Adri did not get it. Why did she kill Genki when her problem was Adri. Genki was the one who decided to stay with her and protect her, Adri never asked him to do that. He did it volunteerily but why was he the one being taken away from her.

Compared to the others, he was the closest to her. He was her best friend, he was her brother and he was her partner. The fact that he died in the hand of Azuna, her long time bully, angered her so deeply to the point that her hands had stopped shaking and her breathing was calmer than before, as if something snapped in her. Well, something did snapped in her. Her demeanor changed drastically.

"I see." Adri finally spoke after being silent for a few minutes.

She clenched her fist and looked at Azuna with empty eyes that showed no emotion but darkness. Adri glared deeply into her eyes, so deep that it actually made Azuna flinch and felt uneasy from where she was standing. 

"What's with this strong aura...?" Azuna thought as she was taken aback by Adri. This is the first time Adri ever made her feel nervous. This was not the reaction she had expected from Adri when she told her that she was the murderer.

"You've taken away my partner. The moment you kill a person, you're no longer a human. You've become the most cursed devil and I'll make sure to exorcise you." She said coldly while walking towards Azuna slowly. 

"What the fuck are you talking about?!" Azuna yelled at her.

Lysha, Ippei and Dan, who were listening to everything that Azuna and Adri just said, could sensed the coldness in Adri's voice.

"Her aura and the look on her face says it all. It's written all over her face. She wants her dead." Lysha said.

"Yeah. It's a revenge for Genki." Ippei replied.

Dan was clueless of what happened between Adri and Azuna but he had connected the dots and had a rough idea of their story in his mind. The three and the other Second Division's center group's members watched the fight between Bas and the Odessians, and the fight that was about to start between the Capo of the Second Division and the leader of Odessians.

"Any last words?" Adri said coldly as she arrived few steps away in front of Azuna, without breaking the eye contact.

Oh, how the table has turned.
