Truth Behind The Betrayal

Mri's Apartment – Aamon Speaks the Truth

Aamon sat on the couch, his face pale, his body still weak from the coma. The room was silent. Every eye was on him. Smoke lingered in the air as Ishu took a slow drag from his cigarette, watching Aamon with narrowed eyes. Kai stood with his arms crossed, his expression unreadable. Kelly sat beside Mri, listening intently.

Aamon took a deep breath. His voice was hoarse, but firm.

> "I know you all hate me for what I did," he said. "But you need to hear the full story."

Mri leaned forward. "Then talk."

Aamon exhaled sharply and clenched his fists. "Do you know how it feels to lose everything in a single night?" His eyes darkened with the weight of the past. "My parents… they were killed right in front of me."

He looked directly at Mri.

> "And I tried to reach out to you. To Kai. To Ishu." His voice cracked. "But you ignored me."

Mri stiffened. The memory came rushing back. Aamon had called him. Multiple times. But that night…

> It was the night of the family party.

Mri remembered it now. He had been so caught up with relatives, the music, the noise—he hadn't even checked his phone until the next morning.

Aamon let out a bitter chuckle. "I kept telling myself you were just busy… that you'd call me back. But you never did."

Mri felt a pang of guilt in his chest.

Aamon continued, his voice now laced with anger. "That night, something inside me broke. I realized… I had no one." His fists trembled. "I had to take revenge on my own. So I went after the man who killed them—Diroj Sen."

Kai's eyes flickered with recognition. "Diroj Sen… That bastard."

Aamon nodded. "I tracked him down. I found his base. But… I wasn't strong enough. I failed." His voice dropped. "And that's when Professor Helix found me."

Ishu frowned, crushing his cigarette into the ashtray. "That psycho scientist…"

Aamon's expression darkened. "He didn't just experiment on me. He played with my mind in a way I can't even explain. He didn't just alter my memories—he twisted my reality."

Mri's stomach twisted. "What do you mean?"

Aamon's fingers dug into his knees. "He made me believe… that the only way to truly survive… was to destroy you."

The room went dead silent.

Kai took a slow step forward. "You're saying… everything you did… was because of him?"

Aamon laughed bitterly. "Not entirely. The hate was already inside me. He just fed it."

Mri clenched his jaw. "So why are you telling us this now?"

Aamon lifted his gaze, his eyes sharp. "Because you need to be ready. Zero is coming."

The air turned cold.

Kelly frowned. "Wait… that's impossible. Zero—he suicided last time. He self-destructed."

Aamon looked at him. "That's what you think."

Kai's grip on his jacket tightened. "What the hell do you mean?"

Aamon leaned forward, his voice low. "Professor Helix is no normal human. He's beyond anything you've ever faced. If you think Zero's gone… you're dead wrong." He exhaled. "He'll be back. Stronger. And different."

Konica, who had been silent this whole time, suddenly stood up. "We can't take any chances." She turned to Kai. "We need to gather everyone."

Kai nodded. "Agreed. We don't fight this one alone."

The Gathering of the Three Major Gangs

Word spread like wildfire.

Within hours, The Three Souls, The Black Serpents, and The Black Scorpions had assembled.

More than 15,000 fighters.

They stood in an abandoned industrial area, the place large enough to hold them all. A sea of people, all prepared for war. Some wore their gang insignias. Others adjusted their weapons, their faces hardened.

Mri stood at the center, looking at the army before him.

> This was no street fight.

This was a war.

Konica stood beside him, her arms crossed. "They're all ready."

Kai exhaled. "We don't even know what we're up against yet."

Ishu lit another cigarette. "Doesn't matter. If Zero's coming, we put him down."

Aamon, still weak but standing, looked over the crowd. "Even this might not be enough."

Mri looked at him. "Then we do what we always do."

Aamon smirked. "Survive?"

Mri's eyes sharpened.

> "No. We win."

Meanwhile – Hidden Laboratory

Professor Helix stood in a darkened chamber, dozens of monitors glowing around him. His expression was calm, amused even, as he watched Zero kneeling before him.

Zero's eyes were empty. His aura had turned black, his very presence suffocating.

Helix pressed a button, and a holographic image of Mri appeared.

> "Your mission, Zero."

Zero slowly lifted his head, his blood-red eyes locking onto the image.

Helix smiled.

> "Bring me his aura."
