Gangdom
Chapter 1
____________________________________________________________________________
Tiga was sleeping soundly when his big mountain of a father came marching into the room. He was so big, his stomps sounded like thunder. This loud sound made Tiga wake up so abruptly, his instincts were at their highest.
His father’s eyes could not be seen under that shadow of anger, Tiga could swear he saw a vague aura around his father. There was a moment of silence in the room. The tension in the room was so thick, it was like the air became solid. He leaped back in fright. Tiga just realized that he had not checked the time.
When he checked the time it was seven o'clock he was supposed to be awake an hour ago for morning training with his father. Before he could open his mouth to explain, Tiga’s father's mighty hand hit Tiga through the window.
Tiga’s instincts helped him land on his feet. As he slowly looked up, his father was already airborne. Tiga just barely dodged his father’s wrathful fist.
“Hey wow you actually survived longer than ten seconds,” said his father with a smirk on his face.
Tiga was afraid of his father, a man with power and no tolerance of any kind. As Tiga was getting ready to change to go out, he got a notification from his phone.
“Tonight's Underground match fighters are Tiga and Lea Storm''.
“Oh, I got another fight already?”.
“Wait it’s starting in twenty minutes!” Said Tiga. “Dang it, I’m going to be late,” said Tiga. Tiga knew there was no way for him to make it to the underground tournament from where he was on time. So he decided to take the shortcut in the extremely dark alley next to his favorite arcade.
“Hey kid,” said the security guard whom’s voice was clearly shaky.
“I wouldn’t go near that ally if I were you”
There was a gang that normally hung around this area, but the gang leader was absent. Tiga saw this as a chance to take this ally as a shortcut to the underground tournament.
“It’s okay I can handle myself, sir,” said Tiga
Tiga continued walking towards the ally, just then Tiga’s sixth sense had tingled. A dagger was launched from the dark ally. It was aimed at Tiga, he immediately dodged the dagger.
“What the heck,” said Tiga.

Just then a brute emerged from the dark alley, he was charging at Tiga. Tiga had to move quickly as the brute was charging relentlessly towards him. He slid beneath the opened legs of the brute, now being behind the behemoth, he launched himself onto the back of the brute.
“Nighty Night Mr. Solo Act,” Said Tiga.
Tiga was covering the brute’s eyes so the brute couldn’t see anything. The brute tried to reach for Tiga, but to no avail, his feeble attempts failed miserably. The brute charged face-first into a wall, the impact making him fall unconscious.
“I know there wasn't only one guy in that alley talking to himself, reveal yourself”
“Okay you got me my name is Koda, say how about you join us kid”? Said Koda.
“You must be drunk if you think I’m gonna join your little pity squad,” said Tiga.
“Okay have it your way kid, such wasted potential”
“Kill him”
A barrage of bullets came from the darkness, Tiga quickly took cover behind a dumpster.
“Haha where did all your big talk go kid”
At this point Tiga would be both late and almost die, he had to make the tough decision. Tiga quoted to himself “if you can’t beat em join em”.
“Fine, fine I will join your gang”
“Ceasefire, nice doing business kid”.
Tiga sighed, “can I go now?”
“Yeah, but meet us this Saturday our boss is coming back this weekend and I want him to meet you”
Fine, fine I couldn't care less.
Tiga passed through the alley and finally made it to the underground tournament in time. He took off his sweater and pants then proceeded to put his gloves on. He then got ready to fight and practiced with some air jabs. He got out of the locker room and got ready to fight. Just then when he had emerged from the darkness of the hallway, and onto the field. He realized that his opponent was a girl.
“A GIRL?!”
“The match will begin in 3”
“Is this some kind of joke?”
“2”
“Wait we're actually going to fight”
“1”
“Don’t underestimate me, because I will crush your ego” said Lea
“Go!”
Lea was no normal girl; she was trained by her father by the age of 7, She was taught the legendary “Blur Leg”. This was a style so vicious and fast that rarely had actually gone against it and emerge victoriously.
Lea launched towards Tiga with incredible speed, Tiga could see the first three kicks. Unfortunately, he failed to see the other three. Lea had landed six kicks in one second. Tiga began to stagger backward he lost balance.
“What the I didn’t even see anything”
Just then she kicked him 2 more times.
Tiga Lost full balance and before he knew it he blacked out.
“10”
“9”
“8”
“Wait stop the countdown I can see a bit of movement”
Lea’s father sat in the back intrigued and shocked.
“I-I know this, this bloodlust it's so vague I can't quite put my finger on it.”
Tiga was still asleep something else had awakened, his alter ego state had taken over.
He got up quite abruptly, this made Lea react fast she quickly shot her leg towards his face. The crowd thought it was over for him.
“No she didn’t hit him…” said a new face that came on the scene.
Tiga had caught her foot. He moved her foot to the left. He had a very menacing smile on his face. This made Lea jump back in shock, she was very confused. Tiga removed his hands from his pocket and then put them back in his pockets.
“Who does this guy think he is?”
“He's facing Lea Storm, Doesn’t he know?”
“Oh don’t be so naive this match has already been over, since the moment he pulled his hands from his pockets,” said the new face.
Everyone was cheering on Lea Storm to go for the win, just then she fell to the ground. Everyone was confused, they didn't see anything happen.
“And, the winner is Tiga Jr!”
Tiga Jr [Altar- ego] went on to the locker room, he looked into the mirror and flashed a smile at himself.
“Oh it feels so good to be in control it's been such a long time since I was awake”
“[W-Who are you!?]”
“Hey kid, relax I’m going back to sleep don’t panic heh”
