52Please respect copyright.PENANAecGDZvczzM
University of Indonesia campus, 10:00 PM.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFGI3D3Rqh4
Students from the evening classes pour out, heading home.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA9RFQrBpEhB
Two identical twin girls in pink leather jackets stroll casually along the sidewalk toward the Seroja Indah Apartments.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAhKHlj3Kai5
Rani: "What a tiring night class."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAg0XYWnVA1b
Rina: "Yeah, especially with a killer lecturer."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAR57Wq6kXDD
The twins giggle.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAUTyJfVaVIQ
Meanwhile, in a nearby parking area not far from the apartment gate, a tall, well–built man and his two friends are busy devouring plates of ketoprak.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZzjY9kwhIf
"Weladalah.. wedus!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANA6CSK0RKwhL
Yes, these are Giono, Karto, and Turiman — The Green Gang.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAujg1k5omo4
Giono: "Well, would you look at that… Tarmin, why's your ketoprak so spicy tonight?"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAquawCZ34Gy
Tarmin: "Only used two chilis, Boss."
52Please respect copyright.PENANARHq8pY5XFP
Karto: "Of course it's spicy, Min. Those were bird's eye chilis!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAMlAiZCkG1t
Turiman and Tarmin grin like horses.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAw8q6mOH9oB
Turiman: "After ketoprak, it'd be perfect to order coffee, right Boss?"
52Please respect copyright.PENANA3dHAi6h3CV
Giono: "Sheep… That's exactly what I was thinking, Man!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAyPDnoTtapk
Karto: "Black coffee, right Boss?"
Turiman: "Two spoons of coffee, half a spoon of sugar."
52Please respect copyright.PENANA9hnrhtCwCc
Giono: "Weduss… And don't forget, stir exactly 18 times."
52Please respect copyright.PENANA2a61p5LFQ0

21–2 Yu Karmi's Snack Table
52Please respect copyright.PENANArZUtDHk0Rl
Giono gulps down a glass of mineral water, face red from Tarmin's chili blast.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA37PW7mKBPp
Giono: "Sheep… You trying to prank me, Min?"
Tarmin just chuckles, while Karto and Turiman smirk.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAdl5sNIptr0
Giono: "Hey, Karto! Go order three coffees from Yu Karmi…"
52Please respect copyright.PENANANxosVTJe2h
Next to Tarmin's ketoprak cart is a long table and chairs, covered with snacks: bread, cakes, chips, instant noodles, and coffee. This snack table belongs to Yu Karmi.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAU66uY66fxQ
Karto: "On it, Boss…"
52Please respect copyright.PENANALAopaBkUZB
Giono: "Karto, make sure one is black…"
52Please respect copyright.PENANA3NRcjVHA30
Karto: "Two spoons coffee, half spoon sugar."

52Please respect copyright.PENANAryhUmqKn5u
Tarmin: "No thanks, Boss."
52Please respect copyright.PENANA71Acviay7c
Turiman: "Tarmin's afraid the coffee will fight the ketoprak…"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAonoMtxIpbS
Tarmin frowns. Karto bursts out laughing.

Giono: "Wedus… Don't worry, Min. The coffee's on the house…"

21–3 Four Suspicious Young Men
52Please respect copyright.PENANAlGusyvmjl5
Under the dim streetlamp, in the parking lot, Giono, Karto, and Turiman enjoy their coffee and cigarettes.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA0rf8N90YSR
At Yu Karmi's table, the three chat about nothing in particular. Suddenly, Karto glances toward the apartment gate.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAHpYKrTzDMx
Karto: "Hey, Turiman! Take a look at the entrance."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAE6R9GkeiBZ
Turiman turns toward where Karto's pointing.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAjiOUZvkYoK
There stand four young men, each holding a pair of nunchaku, twirling them like fans.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAV2bkPXhQNo
Turiman: "Suspicious…"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFJY3f29eyW
Karto: "Yep. They've been there since before we started eating ketoprak."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAUOZN10DbCO
Turiman: "Looks like they're waiting for someone…"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAx0PcUSBYPY
Karto: "Judging by the weapons, they're clearly waiting for an enemy."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAhyJEjNEr4i
Turiman: "I think they're gonna beat someone up."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAzosZLGfSH8
Karto: "Yup, Man…"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAfYboE8ZBzQ
Giono, who had been ignoring them, now looks toward the apartment gate, brow furrowing.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAUwEmrdNxCK
Giono: "Karto, pay for the coffee."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAW2v7xD3gWb
Karto: "How much, Yu? Three coffees, four packs of peanuts."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAhnqgc6CJea
Yu Karmi: "Twenty thousand, Mas."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAjf0uH0kkbs
Karto hands over the money.

21-4: Giono Becomes Suspicious
52Please respect copyright.PENANA8GiExJACk2
As the leader of the Green Gang, Giono could already read the movements of the four young men armed with nunchaku
52Please respect copyright.PENANA3eKFUqd8AO
Giono: "Weladalah... Karto, you and Turiman, keep an eye on them."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAIwZNRSHbdX
Karto and Turiman nodded.
52Please respect copyright.PENANACmJlAANfEx
Giono: "Don't let them start trouble here."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAG1hQCzwPgN
Karto: "Got it, Boss!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAXOOrnDFgIT
Turiman simply nodded in alertness.
52Please respect copyright.PENANATTUQq9vMJ5
Tarmin whispered something to Yu Karmi.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA8rJ6wbfbTH
Suddenly, one of the four young men pointed ahead.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA877vSrtB5R
Giono, Karto, and Turiman turned their heads toward where he pointed.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5IuzGWwUns
Two twin girls in pink leather jackets were walking cheerfully toward the apartment gate guarded by the four men.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZuGtbXuW7R

21-5 Giono Just Watches
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZwb77ESgBx
Karto: "Boss, looks like they're going to mess with those twin girls..."
52Please respect copyright.PENANArPRANaZvIe
Turiman: "Cowards. Four against two..."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAXileCEWLc0
As a seasoned fighter, Giono could tell from the twins' light footwork that they were not to be underestimated.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAP9hUBXSE96
Giono: "Karto, Turiman... stay put and watch."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ8pcMsVsS
Karto and Turiman nodded.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPIafxTHKYN
Sure enough, the four young men ran up to the twins and surrounded them.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAuke946dK4f
The ninchakus spun around, creating a cage.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAuGrGJC63fB
The twins—Rani and Rina, experts in throwing knives—showed no sign of fear.
52Please respect copyright.PENANALRRPikaVLB
Sensing trouble, Rani and Rina glanced at each other.
52Please respect copyright.PENANALNBjI23ZtO
Rani: "Rina, are you scared?"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAAwCUL7yMcF
Rina: "Are you scared, Rani?"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAVde1CdPSyr
The two laughed lightly and took their stances.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAN6feLEmTCV
Giono simply observed, holding an empty plastic cup.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAJq8aK0rEF5
Karto and Turiman were itching to jump in—though often silly, they were excellent fighters, which was why they served as Giono's right-hand men.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAlBs2tMpwP9
One of the four young men, Sopian, twirled his nunchaku in front of Rani and Rina.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA2VGOjd11cf
Sopian: "Hey, Pendi! Let's grab these two mbelgedes girls!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANABQD1vlzyr3
Pendi: "We'll make it look like an accident..."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAdj41TmAVr6

52Please respect copyright.PENANAD51JP97SmD
Sopian lunged forward, swinging his nunchaku at the twins, followed by the other three.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA9lvy1QvGDP
The flurry of swings and strikes kept Rani and Rina hemmed in.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAlNbYyknXj1
So far, they had been able to dodge.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAU63la7nhy4
Occasionally, they struck back with punches and kicks, but their movements were limited.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAhaz2UDywYv
Rina: "Rani, get the knives ready!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAAgOSakR6tZ
Rani nodded, pulling four knives from inside her jacket.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAsdxcpIhsxE
Giono, Karto, and Turiman grew tense.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAbhSTn5zubb
Karto: "Cowards... you martabak ketan!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAmSCQBToSjI
Turiman: "Shame on you, ganging up on women!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAfBf3ylqkQg

52Please respect copyright.PENANAmctdTOgNYx
From the exchange so far, Giono could tell these four were worthy opponents for Rani and Rina.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAVPXSjdXajY
But outnumbered, the twins began to struggle.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ke1maNVdZ
Suddenly—
52Please respect copyright.PENANAwOlHDXz3nC
Rani threw four knives at Pendi and Panjul.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAWZMXhdpplx
Whoosh! Whoosh!
52Please respect copyright.PENANAA2vvmTkUid
Rina did the same toward Sopian and Eko.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAeIUBDkpByU
Whoosh! Whoosh!
52Please respect copyright.PENANANUmXePejSk
All four spun their nunchakus rapidly.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAi8n2dzjPPp
Clang! Clang!
52Please respect copyright.PENANAfKNopxKsil
The knives clashed against the spinning sticks and fell to the ground.
52Please respect copyright.PENANANvpE5wW6So
The twins were shocked—other than Mariana, no one had ever deflected their blades before.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA2htrOSFf21
Sweat trickled down their foreheads.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAaFdWLyPYWK
Rani: "Damn it, they can block our knives, Rina..."
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5I5h0Ids5S
Rina simply nodded, too busy dodging.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAxMlDdQVS8W
The four pressed their attack, driving the twins back.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAWs0fjJyOKK
Then suddenly—
52Please respect copyright.PENANAhNdFYq6vvL
Pletak!
52Please respect copyright.PENANAkeuaGVnvy2
Panjul: "Aduh!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAIaN3zWL09A
A huge lump formed on Panjul's forehead. At his feet lay a plastic cup.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAuUpjmtuY0V

Panjul turned toward the voice.
52Please respect copyright.PENANARaKrurkBJc
He saw three men—one of them tall and broad—approaching.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAliFE2cDr3U
It was Giono, Turiman, and Karto.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5f4MXIuDHm
Karto and Turiman unbuckled their belts.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ1mk5H5xt
Turiman's belt had a stainless steel tip shaped like an Indian head.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAHRYGnX5t18
Karto's belt had a tip shaped like a horse's head.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAONBGCBvXrf
Giono carried only the two plastic cups, one in each hand.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAdvw0eyh5yx
They advanced toward the fight.

52Please respect copyright.PENANAtRIL7LO9xq
Turiman swung at Pendi with the Indian-head tip of his belt.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAdq6wu5VKu7
Giono moved toward Panjul, cups in hand.

Sopian still faced off against the twins.
52Please respect copyright.PENANACEV4DNYVv1
The fight began to even out.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAGGFmGZc5Ue
Panjul, already rattled from the earlier blow, now found himself under heavy pressure from Giono.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAGjw2WueW8O
Panjul: "Kutu kupret!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAGqiKUXTuig
His strikes were dodged or blocked—by plastic cups.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA88IdknKdmz
Whack! Whack!
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPDb1TfySRf
Nunchaku met cup—and the cup didn't even dent.

The shorter nunchaku couldn't get close.
52Please respect copyright.PENANATRjDjUZ2am
Turiman's belt whirled like a helicopter blade, keeping Pendi on the defensive.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAn63WW3Ga3G
The twins easily handled Sopian—when they worked together, he was no match.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA3hOetCLSSB
The four men's only real strength was in fighting together... but now each was isolated against a strong opponent.

Sopian: "Damn, we came to gang up on them, now they're ganging up on me!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFIWN2veCZO
Panjul, too, was in trouble—Giono's plastic cups carried a strange cold energy that pushed back his stick.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZlCnkXYVi
Panjul: "Kutu kupret! These cups are as hard as steel and cold as ice!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANApWklSt1IKI
His movements slowed.

Eko was also losing ground—Karto's belt strikes kept him completely at bay.

Pendi: "Bujur buneng… if this goes on, I'm gonna die here…"
52Please respect copyright.PENANADeKPUFNrQg
Facing such fierce and agile opponents, their strength was draining fast. They were growing tired.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAL3I7xJJFho
At first, they had thought Rani, Rina, and the Green Gang would be easy prey. Now they realized their enemies were street-fighting masters who ruled the back alleys.

52Please respect copyright.PENANARJPnfKJdGI
Sopian: "Kampret, those two girls are about to throw knives…"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAs56W6Fp6Dq
His movements began to slow. The strikes of his nunchaku—two short sticks linked by a chain—were becoming sloppy.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAMyCXXz5CCe
Meanwhile, Rani and Rina unleashed their synchronized style.
Rani leapt high, hurling two knives toward Sopian's upper body.

One of Rina's knives struck Sopian's hand, making him drop his nunchaku.
