The Story


The place is New York City. A large subculture of gangs owns the streets at night. There are gangs of every race, income level and sex, wearing everything from top hats and tails to leather jackets.

One gang, the Gramercy Riffs, is headed by Cyrus, a charismatic leader who has molded his men into a tightly-knit crew of karate experts. He has a plan to unite all of the gangs in the city and make up an army that would be 100,000 strong and could easily take over the reins of power in the city. He calls together a giant conclave where nine unarmed envoys from every gang are sent to hear his plan.

The Coney Island Warriors are a bit wary of the idea, but nevertheless, nine men are chosen to make the long subway trip to the Bronx:

Cleon. The leader. Tough.
Swan. The War Chief. Quiet, laconic by nature, a natural military tactician.
Rembrandt. The artist. Quick-witted, emotional.
Cochise.A rough and ready fighter, a good soldier.
Vermin. He complains a lot, but he's always there.
The Fox. Small, kinetic. He moves silently, can climb anywhere.
Cowboy. Always wears a stetson. Lithe, quick, amiable.
Snowball. Tall and lean, the face and body of a Masai warrior. He rarely speaks.
Ajax. His attitude is cantankerous, at best. Rebellious with more than an overtone of cruelty.

As they round the corner, they are met by the sight of a thousand gang members, dressed in the multitude of colors of the hundreds of gangs that they represent. Ranged in a circle around a high plat form are representatives from the Blackjacks, the Electric Eliminators,the Firetasters, the Moonrunners, the Saracens, the Turnbull A.C.'s, the Zodiacs, and a hundred other gangs. It's an awesome panorama that gives the Warriors a spine-tingling pride that they are part of all this.

Cyrus appears and the murmuring quickly ends as his hypnotizing voice rings out. His call to unite and conquer the forces that have kept him oppressed is met with wild cheers.

But before he can finish, a shot rings out and Cyrus crashes off the platform. He has been killed.

The Fox has seen the killer, Luther of the Rogues, but Luther has spotted the Fox as well. In the panic set off by the murder and the arrival of a strong contingent of police, the Fox slips away into the crowd. Luther, acting quickly to protect himself from detection, begins to shout that it was the Warriors who killed Cyrus. Almost immediately, members of the Riffs fall upon Cleon and bludgeon him to death.

The word is given out to all the gangs of the city that the Warriors must pay for their crime. Unaware of the danger surrounding them, the eight Warriors plunge into the night and soon find themselves faced with battling the police, rival gangs and the venomous Luther on the perilous journey home.
