Gangsters:Rise To The Top

Chapter – The Battle at The Twin Monarch's Base

The sun had already started to set, painting the sky in hues of crimson and gold as Mri, Ishu, Kai, Aamon, Kelly, Dipankar, Adonish, and Konica walked through the dark alleys leading to The Twin Monarch's base.

For the past few hours, they had searched everywhere for Luhit Sen, believing him to be the key to understanding why Project Zero had come after Mri. But he had vanished—no traces, no leads, just a frustrating dead end.

Now, they had only one option left: confront The Twin Monarch directly.

As they approached the gang's base, an old, abandoned warehouse near the outskirts of the city, they felt the tension in the air.

Kai exhaled. "This is gonna get messy."

Mri stepped forward, eyes locked on the large iron doors in front of them. "Good. I need answers."

The moment they pushed open the doors, the gang members inside stopped what they were doing. Dozens of them. A mix of fighters, all staring at them with dangerous eyes.

One of them, a muscular guy with a scar running down his cheek, smirked. "Well, well… Look who decided to pay us a visit."

Ishu stepped forward, his fists tight. His voice was dark. "We're not here to talk."

The Twin Monarch members barely had time to react. Ishu lunged forward.

Ishu's Rampage

Ishu had always been a strong fighter, but tonight, he was a beast.

Fueled by rage over Priyanshi's kidnapping, he became an unstoppable force, tearing through The Twin Monarch members with sheer brutality.

His first punch crushed into the face of the nearest opponent, sending him flying into the crates. Another charged at him from behind, but Ishu twisted mid-air, elbowing him in the throat before spinning and kicking another guy in the ribs.

Two enemies rushed from his left. Ishu dodged one of their attacks, grabbing the second guy's wrist and twisting it before delivering a devastating knee strike to his stomach. The first attacker swung a pipe, but Ishu caught it with one hand and headbutted him, knocking him out instantly.

Kelly whistled. "Damn, Ishu's on a warpath."

Aamon smirked. "Let him have his fun. The real fight is about to begin."

As the last of the lower-ranked gang members fell unconscious, a slow clap echoed through the warehouse.

"Not bad," a voice called.

The division leaders of The Twin Monarch had finally stepped forward.

The Twin Monarch Division Leaders vs. The Three Souls

Standing before them were four powerful fighters, each leading a division of The Twin Monarch.

1. Barun Phukan (1st Division Captain)

A heavyweight fighter, skilled in pure brawling.

6'4", built like a tank.

2. Reshan Ahmed (2nd Division Captain)

A speedster, using insane reflexes and counterattacks.

Lighter build, but incredibly dangerous in close combat.

A brutal female fighter, known for her precise strikes and ruthless takedowns.

Skilled in judo and submission holds.

4. Pradip Das (4th Division Captain)

A street-fighting veteran.

Barun cracked his knuckles. "You bastards really think you can just walk in here and demand answers?"

Mri stepped forward, eyes unwavering. "We're not here to ask. We're here to take them."

Barun grinned. "Then you're gonna have to go through us first."

The battle began.

Fight 1: Kai vs. Reshan Ahmed

The moment the fight started, Reshan vanished.

Kai barely had time to react before a blurred fist came for his ribs. He twisted his body, dodging at the last second, but Reshan was fast. Too fast.

"You're slow," Reshan smirked, appearing behind him.

Kai's eyes narrowed. "And you talk too much."

He countered instantly—spinning, launching a kick at Reshan's face.

But Reshan ducked effortlessly, appearing beside Kai again and delivering a sharp strike to his shoulder.

Kai staggered, feeling the impact.

"You rely too much on strength," Reshan taunted, disappearing and reappearing behind Kai again.

But this time, Kai was ready.

Instead of dodging, he took the hit head-on, catching Reshan's wrist and twisting it brutally.

Reshan's smirk disappeared as Kai slammed his knee into his gut.

"You're fast," Kai admitted, gripping his opponent's throat. "But you're not invincible."

With a final brutal throw, Kai launched Reshan into a steel crate, knocking him out cold.

Fight 2: Konica vs. Kriti Sharma

Kriti wasted no time—she was a submission specialist.

The moment Konica stepped toward her, she grabbed his arm, twisted it, and slammed her onto the floor.

"Too easy," she smirked, going for a chokehold.

But Konica grinned.

"You think I don't know how to get out of this?"

Using pure strength, Konica flipped his entire body, escaping her grip and twisting behind her.

Kriti's eyes widened, but before she could react, Konica's knee smashed into her back, followed by an elbow to her temple.

She collapsed, groaning in pain.

Fight 3: Kelly vs. Barun bPhukan

Barun was the biggest and strongest among the division captains.

He cracked his knuckles, stepping toward Kelly with a grin. "I hope you're ready for pain."

Kelly simply rolled his shoulders. "Just try me."

Barun charged, his fists swinging like wrecking balls.

Kelly dodged left, right, ducking under the massive punches. Each swing was powerful enough to break bones, but Barun was slow.

Kelly saw an opening.

A precise kick to Barun's knee.

The giant stumbled slightly, but grinned. "That all you got?"

Kelly didn't answer. He spun, delivering a vicious back-kick to Barun's ribs, followed by a high-speed punch to his jaw.

Barun roared in anger and grabbed Kelly's wrist.

For a moment, it seemed like he would crush him.

But Kelly smirked.

Using Barun's grip against him,Kelly twisted, locking Barun's arm and flipping him over his shoulder.

Barun slammed into the floor, unconscious.

Final Fight: Adonish vs. Pradip Das

Pradip had been waiting for his moment.

The second Adonish stepped forward, Pradip pulled out his brass knuckles.

"You're gonna regret coming here," he sneered.

Adonish didn't reply.

In an instant, his red aura exploded around him.

Pradip's smirk vanished as Adonish moved faster than he could see, appearing behind him.

A single punch.

A shockwave burst through the warehouse.

Pradip flew across the room, crashing into a wall, completely knocked out.

The Aftermath

As the dust settled, The Twin Monarch's division leaders lay defeated.

Mri turned to the rest of the gang. "Where is Luhit Sen?"

Silence.

Then, a whisper.

"...He's gone."

Mri clenched his fists. "Then we'll find him ourselves."

The battle was won.

But the war had only just begun.
