Upon returning to their hideout, Stallone and Harrison were brimming with joy and satisfaction over their successful attack on the royal family and the prime ministers.

As they settled in, Harrison was interrupted by a group of soldiers he had recruited to capture the Crow. They informed him that they had successfully captured the crow and that he was currently tied up in the basement.

Harrison's face twisted into a sinister smile as he praised the soldiers for their work and promised them great compensation.

He then left to meet with Stallone, eager to discuss their next move. Inside Stallone's office, the whiteboard detailing their plan to attack the royal family and prime ministers was covered in sticky notes, but one note stood out: "Main Targets: Yuki Shinobu, Yusuke Takahashi, and Makoto Neji." Stallone crossed out Yuki's name with a smile, feeling confident in their success.

“Today... Well, today is a great day. You know what, Harrison? I’m in the mood for a party tonight. I’ll let the troops know that we are celebrating our success tonight.”

Harrison agreed with Stallone on having a party but claimed that he had something to do before going to the party. Stallone was suspicious and asked Harrison what could be more important than coming to the party.

“It’s just something involving our next attack we have planned. Don't worry, it's nothing to be worried about.” Harrison responded, trying his hardest to sound as though he wasn’t lying.

Stallone instructed Harrison to get to work with whatever it was he needed to do.

Harrison left the room and went back to the soldiers, who were still waiting for him, and instructed them to take him to the Crow. As they descended the stairs, the light grew dimmer and dimmer until it was almost completely dark.

When they reached the bottom, one of the soldiers opened a metal door, revealing the Crow tied up with his arms wide and his legs free to move within a limited range.

Harrison entered the room, forcing the Crow to look at him. He taunted and mocked the crow, claiming he was no longer so tough now that he was tied up.

The Crow laughed in response, “I knew you were nothing more than a coward who couldn't face me man to man.”

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

In a fit of rage, Harrison landed a powerful right hook to the Crow's face, but the Crow laughed again and asked if that was the best Harrison had to offer.

“You’re going to die here, you masked fuck. And I'm going to enjoy killing you, but let this be known. You are going to have a slow and painful death, so go ahead and make your shit jokes. You are nothing more than a walking, talking corpse.”

“So go ahead! Kill me.” The crow yelled.

“Not yet. It's more fun watching you suffer.” Harrison claimed.

Harrison started throwing lefts and rights. Harrison enjoyed each shot more and more. But the fun had to be cut short as one of the soldiers informed Harrison that Stallone was looking for him. Harrison said to the Crow before leaving, “Enjoy the last moments you have alive.”

The metal door slammed shut as Harrison left the room and reunited with Stallone.

“Where the fuck did you go? You weren't in your room.” Stallone asked Harrison, demanding to know why he lied to him.

Harrison explained that he was trying to find where the Crow went, as they hadn't seen him in some time. Stallone wondered where the Crow was but pushed that thought aside as he was more focused on the party and announced that he would be leaving, and that Harrison should finish up with whatever it was he was doing.

However, a Jackel soldier yelled out across the bass, demanding that both Stallone and Harrison come and see this. The two rushed to where they heard the voice and noticed everyone gathered around a TV screen. On the screen was a news report detailing the attack on the royal palace.

Stallone smiled, but his smile would disappear once the reporter began talking about who was responsible for the attack.

“And for the first time, we are able to reveal who the man who orchestrated the attack is. The man is revealed to be former United States Marine, Stallone Jenson. The former US Marine is believed to be the leader of the Jackel group, who were the ones who attacked the royal family.”

Stallone was shocked. People only knew that Jackel was responsible for the attacks, but nobody knew that Stallone oversaw the group. Stallone’s once happy smile now turned to anger; he demanded to know who it was that revealed that Stallone was in charge of the Jackels.

“Which one ratted me out to the press? Speak now, or so help me, God, I will kill every single one of you!”

Everyone was silent. Stallone grabbed the television and threw it across the wall. Harrison grabbed Stallone and told him to calm down, and they would find out who it was that ratted Stallone out.

Harrison ran back down to the basement, slammed open the metal door, and saw the crow laughing.

“What are you laughing at, you mask fuck? Huh? Answer me!”

The Crow looked up at Harrison and mocked the fact that Stallone had been exposed to the public. Harrison grabbed the Crow by the throat and started squeezing, demanding to reveal who it was that sold Stallone out, but the Crow couldn’t speak until Harrison let go of his throat. Harrison eventually let go of the crow’s throat and started to punch him in the face, each punch getting more powerful each time.

The Crow, now covered in his blood, looked up at Harrison and spat his blood into his face. Harrison wiped the blood off his face, turned his back on the Crow, and left the room again, but this time stating that once he returned, he would kill him without any hesitation.
