Emperor's Gangstas: The Rap Battle
"Okay, so I was going to ask you," He said half confidently, "Why have you chosen to not go with this... your persuaders?" He said, pointing a finger at his loin, and then recoiled it into a loose fist. "Knowing that you have it, but chosen to crawl behind walls and its clefts like lizards retreating from the fury of a catapult on your first attempt." "I mean, why should you render my face and that of Kyle's for unsparing stony slaps?" Ryker was interrogating Jude, But the motive was to engage himself in a chat since idling would make him feel discombobulated in a situation like that, and only a mere suspicion could proselytize Jude and give him away. With a lopsided smirk, Jude looked at Ryker awkwardly, he grabbed a canned Heineken on the center table, and took a swig of it."Point of correction, I never handed you over, you and Kyle are just a bunch of simpletons who gallivant around, devoid of vigilance, and of course, dumb." "Should you go about without vigilance, to beg

The Emperors' Headache
Sluggishly, Ryker stressed his feet to push in last, There is the real deal. As much as he does not want to, he just could not turn back now. It is impossible to relinquish the stint of patronizing the emperors in this cumbersome plot that toys with lives at this point, perhaps the thin possibility of extrication would pledge allegiance. (I doubted it if I won't clasp a bullet with my brains tonight, Jude doesn't faze and he won't go down easily!) He pondered. Jude might be cool, but he is cruel, very! He is a ruthless player with a sharp eye for detail and a lack of fair play, not someone to entertain leniency when provoked. Ryker has seen this many times.He can be very devilish!Ryker was well aware of the stakes, knowing full well that a failure in their plan could mean severe consequences. But now, how he really wished to withdraw, he just couldn't. *******Stanley had looked back then stopped, while he was sluggish to enter into the compound, As he was pondering and c

The Unexpected
"Really, what? Do you think I...."He was forced to stop as the doors were jerked open, and the room welcomed determined faces in uniform, possessing simple ammunition, as more were already surrounding the building. "Freeze!" "You are under arrest."More cops troop in. "Your hands on your heads, drop your weapons. You are under arrest!" A speaker booms repeatedly from the outside. He shot a dagger look at Ryker, "F***!!!" He cursed."How dare you?" "I told you I am no fool, how dare you go against me and..." Furiously, he bit his lower lip, raised the handgun to complete the words he failed to communicate as he aimed a shot at him. With bated breath, Ryker ducked briskly. POW!!!...The bullet flew past his ear, and the ballistic deafening boom scared him out of his skin. Ryker instantly embraced a spot to hide himself,- behind a sofa placed beside the window. He had peered through the house, when they just entered and observed the spot. His gaze settled on Randy, who had

Film or Dream
As Ryker approached the orchard, the chopper's powerful flashlight zone in a moving figure, running and leaping swiftly from tree to tree.(How could that be? He did find an escape route out of that building? )Ryker walks towards the scene growing more curious.Just then, he heard his name called by a very familiar voice this time, He stopped, unsure if that is her voice he heard."What are you doing here, Ryker?" "What have you done again?" She asked impatiently. Evelyn grabbed his son by the arm and pulled him towards a waiting cab.Attempting to free his arm, "I did nothing, wrong Mom." "It's just…what I have to do." She stops suddenly still holding on tight, and with a desperate glare; "Like seriously?""Wait Ryker, tell me. Must you be involved in every chaos and commotion in town?" "And why, you of all people?""If you're not directly involved already?" She replied in an accusing manner. "Mom. Let me address something,""I am not involved in every chaos and commotion

Explanation
He opened the door to their silent abode, which seemed even quieter in comparison to the scenery outside. The familiar, comfortable scent of home drilled into his nostrils, soothing the tension and fear that had been embodied in his thoughts from the recent incident and the troubling dream.Evelyn marched up to the entrance as the taxi strayed into the night. So, Ryker left the door slightly opened and moved to the center of the room. The quietness of the night and the serenity of the atmosphere inspired him to check what time it was. He turned and walked towards the table clock, unsurprisingly it was 11:47 pm. However, he was surprised to find that most people had already retreated indoors, leaving the neighborhood quiet and calm. He loved this kind of tranquility, and all he craved at the moment was this sense of peacefulness. He dragged the jacket off his shoulder and dumped it on the cushion, and made it towards the refrigerator to get a chilled bottle of water to revitali

Hungry Smiles
Evelyn listened to her son go on about his point of view and excuses.As a compassionate and understanding mother, she agreed with her son and asked him if he knew his parents or any of his relatives, He had once told Evelyn that he was from Cabur, which was a twelve-and-a-half-hour drive from Balltown, he attends the Balltown's football academy and that he would be signing a professional contract soon. He lived with Stanley in Ring Estate, as they were distant relatives. Ryker shrugged and opened up,"Well, he is not. Mom.""What?!" Evelyn was fuming when Ryker cut in. "You knew and you did nothing–""It's not what you think, Mom," he said in a calm voice."Okay, then tell me exactly what it is," she demanded.He was unwilling to say more, and his mother stared at him, annoyed. While Ryker was yawning and considering going to bed, his interest was piqued by the TV host who brought Sergeant Oswald Colt onto the screen during his interrogation. "So what is the good news so far,Se

Proud of Food
He took more mouthfuls of the meal he had prepared by himself as he moved towards the table and he lost the appetite for it. Ryker is not someone who necessarily regards one or two types as his best or favorite food. He is one to decide what he would devour based on how pleasing and rich it is to the palate. Ryker is just plainly proud of food in general.As Evelyn opens the containers, He smells the sweet aroma of the nice sumptuous dishes on the table, they were culpable of making him jettison his appetite for his own made breakfast. Even without eating yet, the food. Ryker knew at once, his own prepared meal might be delicious, but this is just…superb! So pleasing to the eye, and tempting to the throat, (Mom must be expecting a prestigious visitor to have prepared a meal this elegant. We normally have something of this standard on special occasions, perhaps I'm missing out on something here.) He thought to himself.(I shouldn't care much, Mom certainly would have filled me

Donald Dumb
Continuously re-wagering his returns on the blackjack game for his chances of winning are, to him, very well certain. He had not yet any issues cooking with the Vector's gang then, not until his cover blew, as they would discover a card sharper he was. [Though, blackjack not included, as it is practically impossible to cheat on its concepts].There was a stream of tension between them, and when they learned that he associates with Jude, the issues escalated.But before all that is relayed, Mostly he does tarry long in their casino. Truly, truly the Vectors' gang is a rich gang, constituted by the profligate kids in Balltown, though few rugged and violence enthusiasts were granted membership as they would defend the gang from intimidation, and maintain their credibility, of which Ryker was one.Fair enough, the gang was mostly dominated by those from the Ring's estate.Though Ryker had been a member of the Vectors, the main reason he had joined the gang was to harvest money, knowing

Okay, Yes. Hopefully…
Nonetheless, his ego failed to faze at the absoluteness.Provoked. He turned around without giving it much thought—who might be exerting such influence with a mere voice? "Will you shut your pie--- hole..." His speech rate automatically declined, but without the flippant, mean, and disrespectful tone he had started with, he completed the word. There stood over him, a man in a soldier's round neck shirt which hugged him tightly, exalting his abs and defining his expensive manliness with a really overpowering size and height. Some of the kids in the buildings came rushing towards them. He wondered for a few moments and deciphered the mysticism behind the kids' rush towards them, leaving their guardians askew and alerted. Alas! They were coming for the money he had sprayed like a prodigal son. He donned a killer scowl, forgetting that he had an intimidating figure in front of him, and made a move to shoo away the kids. But Mister Militant stooped sharply, grasped him by the arms

Chit - Chat.
Well, Ryker already had gave him his word, 'Honestly'.But doubted it, if he did meant that. He still has dangers to watch out for, as soon as he marches onto the streets.Kyle was right then, he had to admit. He should have been more morally independent and know well whatever he is consenting to, know what it was, he was walking into, and choose for himself, in or out.(I really fucked up to have allowed someone, under the canopy of friendship get so close that he had me left with no option than being such an unfortunate docile, hanging on to his hook.)Ryker, holding his phone one hand staring at the ceiling as he engaged himself in a monologue.Though, as his mind crossed the thought of Kyle, he felt a wind of concern gushed over him. He thought about the poor boy, How lucky he was to have been pummeled so hard by him during the scuffle, that the last day of the Emperors hated to descend on him… Ryker made up his mind, he would check on him probably tomorrow, when he would st
