4-1: The Cobra Gang
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGxeAm9G45
It was 10:30 p.m. The University of Indonesia campus was getting quiet. Night-class students were heading home, either riding⅝ motorbikes, driving cars, or walking if they lived nearby.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoN3xLA2D6
Two young women in matching pink leather jackets strolled along the sidewalk toward their apartment.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMjYXGRtg0
It was the same street they had walked earlier in the evening—when they beat up four local thugs.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU3kfCDixG
They chatted about the class they had just attended, but often their talk wandered into jokes and lighthearted stories. Occasionally, their laughter echoed in the night.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrp4FNTvGj
They were Rani and Rina.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8ljRbc0no
Rani: "Rina, look up ahead."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBSqUaCYry
Rina lifted her gaze toward where Rani was pointing.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO17GDGMHo6
Near the gates of Seroja Indah Apartments, a group of about twelve young men stood clustered together, smoking and talking. The faint smell of tobacco mixed with alcohol drifted through the air.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFmeX3gawH
Some held wooden clubs or empty beer bottles. Their stance looked suspicious.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrZgtSVey6
Rina: "What do you think they want?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XiuuV1eb3
Rani: "They're waiting for us."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHSTcgz1AG
Rina: "What do you mean?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZaV2C4glG
Rani: "See that guy over there? The one who ran away when we took down his three friends earlier?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKOr7WSPsi
Rina: "Misno."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmxpWQyyCK
Rani: "Exactly."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu1pOga3RI
They exchanged a glance.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8n7tkvDSY
Rina: "Are you scared, Rani?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSfDwethgU
Rani: "Are you scared, Rina?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD7LXdRiCW
They both smirked, then laughed lightly. Without the slightest hint of fear, they continued walking toward the apartment.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWruG2KxJ6
Their fingers brushed the inside of their jackets, where small, lightweight, razor-sharp knives were tucked away.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU85mmrrir
In the distance, Misno—the only one who had escaped the earlier brawl—watched them tensely.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR6DCnR8B3
Misno: "That's them! They're the ones who smashed Misnan, Martoyo, and Gendon!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr2lRmaSnE
The other eleven turned their heads toward the twins.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87bSXMyVoz
A thin young man stepped forward. His eyes were mismatched—one wide open, the other narrowed as if something had gotten in it. A thick mustache covered his lips, stained dark from years of smoking. His hair was thick, curly, and unkempt. A cobra tattoo coiled around his neck.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSkrsTcO39
He gripped a heavy wooden club. His name was Darko.

4-2 Beating the Thugs
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL4pIHpmiD
Darko: "So you're the ones who smacked Gendon and tossed Martoyo around."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZBDbJL6af
Next to Darko stood a short, wiry man—barely shoulder height to Rani. His long hair framed eyes that darted around constantly. His gaze wandered everywhere, not just to pretty girls. In fact, it had been restless since birth. A cobra tattoo wound around his forearm.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1BEXL8kBZ
Despite his size, his expression was fierce. His name was Kodir.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZFKws3993
Kodir: "And the ones who twisted Misnan's arm!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMxuibPn5A
On Kodir's other side stood a lanky teenager, still in puberty. His face was clean-shaven, his eyes slightly wide, and a cobra tattoo marked his neck. He yawned as if bored. His name was Kariman.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FXeKtQLHW
Kariman: "Wow, they're gorgeous! Forget choosing, I'll just take one of them!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX4zTlSz8K
The rest of the gang just watched. Some admired the twins' beauty, others didn't care, a few grinned to themselves, and—of course—Misno just stared and swallowed hard.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZT1dpfPha
Glegh!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45mLjsrpIb
Wooden clubs and empty beer bottles glinted in their hands.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaDUMzcU5N
The twins stayed indifferent.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ01Na7Onn
Darko: "How dare you beat up my boys!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Of33dfd5w
Kodir: "Let's just smash them now, Ko!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFQyJx8yJe
Kariman: "Don't be too rough, Dir."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H5ylCbxT8
Kodir: "Ha! You've got a crush, huh, Man? Always defending them!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS5qvKTvSW
Kariman grinned sheepishly.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWvdR2scut
Darko: "You're going to pay for this!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMcfa3VWK4
Kodir: "Serve us!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL1HPmeVyW
Darko: "Or we'll turn you into perkedel—Indonesian fried potato patties!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jV3etjNOQ
The twins still didn't flinch.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfYEL4ib3u
Kariman: "Better be my girlfriend instead—beats becoming perkedel, right?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4JtrSQWAW
The others chuckled or stayed silent.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO11WSXLVr
But Misno? Still staring. Still swallowing.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkeKzGJcfG
Glegh!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JOiAnJH9q
Darko, gripping the empty beer bottle, finally began to lose his patience.

4-3 Beating the Thugs – Part 2
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokoMiCyUNf
Darko: "Surrender now—voluntarily."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBarrTBqFdw
Rani and Rina stayed indifferent but alert. Both shifted into a fighting stance.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UQnSidwVz
Kodir, already out of patience after being ignored for so long, stepped toward them and raised his wooden club.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hazxEZGLu
Kariman, still smitten, stayed where he was.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhPBi8Doct
Misno swallowed hard, eyes wide, already picturing the twins turning into perkedel—Indonesian fried potato patties.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqCVTVa3H1
The rest of the gang began to advance as well.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHtfpwwNrc
The short Kodir swung his club at Rani, clearly aiming to knock her down with a single blow.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrh72WRtdi
But Rani moved fast. Before the club could land, her hands shot left and right—slapping Kodir's cheeks in quick succession.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxIxUS5RUl
Smack! Slap! Smack! Slap!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OEVN4918R
Kodir: "Ouch! Mercy!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLixObdwb3
The small man staggered backward, both cheeks swelling up like he'd been stung by ten hornets. His wooden club flew off to who-knows-where.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY64cB1jSC5
Darko's eyes widened as he glanced at the groaning Kodir.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHm8CiMvyp
Kariman froze. Lucky for him, he hadn't rushed in.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4bFsg1JZx
Misno stared harder, swallowing again and again.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkHl0O7cMY
The rest of the gang, seeing Kodir's puffy cheeks, grew angrier.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBW2KDxupg
Misno, remembering how Gendon had been taken down earlier, suddenly lost his nerve again.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3iwZ3MPQ5
Kariman didn't move either—after all, if a slap could do that to Kodir's face, what could it do to his?
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2L3GoOurT
Though shocked, Darko's anger outweighed his fear. He brandished the beer bottle in his hand.

4-4 Darko Goes to the Hospital
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0ttVj9VPs
Darko: "Today, the hospital's waiting for you!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0NRlcWDgI
This time, Rina stepped forward to face him.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRHMc82Xqf
Several swings of the beer bottle were easily dodged.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUrH6v6cM8
It didn't take long. Rina moved like lightning—her upward kick connecting with Darko's jaw.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYRyrhp4Mx
Thump!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi35y53Jqi1
Darko's body lifted off the ground before crashing onto his back. His jaw swelled instantly and shifted out of place—he'd need a doctor right away.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxwCH17W4B
The beer bottle rolled away into the dark.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m0l1QbRXo
Misno's eyes bulged so far they looked ready to pop out. Kariman quietly stepped back toward him.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL42Zzji5S
The rest of the gang, furious at seeing Darko fall, surged forward, surrounding Rani and Rina, swinging wooden clubs and beer bottles.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiEo8sSOGr
They clearly intended to leave the twins battered and bruised.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXtdqEtegu
Rani: "What do you think?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO7NMx42Ha
Rina: "I'm thinking the same as you."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXU7xM9Vd2
Rani and Rina reached inside their pink jackets, pulled out small knives, and slid them between their fingers.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcndsoA4u29
They were ready to throw.

4-5: Flying Knives vs. The Thugs
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVEfkucaUF
The thugs surrounding Rani and Rina kept pressing forward, shouting nonsense.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFatlcsHR6L
Thug 1: "Finish these women!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAHg9l094c
Thug 2: "Let's make perkedel out of them!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ln9eiGYRZ
Thug 3: "No—make them ikan pepes!" (Indonesian grilled fish in banana leaves)
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBN0eqCEbc
Thug 4: "Let's beat them up together!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBtc3yuDt6
Their noisy shouts filled the night air.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdalFbS72a
Off to the side, Kariman and Misno exchanged glances—their courage had completely evaporated.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuBtBp1pR0
Meanwhile, Rani and Rina only smiled faintly.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKD7yxV4xH
The moment the gang moved in, the twins' knives flew.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aa5178TLv
Their matched set of throwing knives shot forward.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoHsPQRKld
Rani leaped upward, aiming for anything from the neck up.
Rina stayed low, aiming from the waist down.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFycb1hz4DP
Swish!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeMNYOnl5a
Swish!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxciEt0KKM
Knives whirled through the air in all directions.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCCYxE2Y6u
"Ow! My cheek got nicked!"
"Ow! My leg!"
"Ow! My head!"
"Ow! My hand!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8NPKyaWJH
Cries of pain erupted everywhere.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrPxPXid9P
The thugs stumbled, clutching bleeding cuts from the twin sisters' blades.

4-6: Misno Runs Away – Part 2
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEZy2Vni3u
In the middle of the chaos, Kariman and Misno locked eyes again.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOj3CLRZ5B
Kariman: "No…"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsf5ylFOxQ
Misno: "Man…"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Mu7dHGp1
Their courage was gone, their faces pale as paper.
Hands and knees shook uncontrollably.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi25ga2kZEt
Misno swallowed hard, eyes wide, searching for Kariman.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCLV0opKO6
Misno: "Where are you, Man?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVrM1jtXnK
He looked around—Kariman was nowhere in sight.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9VzBsuFNy
Turns out Kariman had already bolted from the scene!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6l4afjBKL
Misno let out a pitiful, weak shout:
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp71uMeZn5s
Misno: "Don't leave me, Man!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeJYSKHnZO
Without another thought, Misno took off at full speed, chasing after Kariman.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDmGGysksp
Meanwhile, Rani glanced at the thugs still standing.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsZys0dDbQ
Rani: "Anyone still want perkedel?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vu100FfAu
Rina: "Or maybe ikan pepes?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvnlW8Rkjg
The thugs hunched over in pain, eyes full of fear and panic.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6QnuUxcAI
Fortunately for them, Rani and Rina were only toying around—they never intended to kill.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIpvllTV2G
Without sparing the wounded thugs another glance, the twins strolled casually toward the apartment gate.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvHyrMQo7h
They smiled faintly.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjXlDQIpNN
Then burst out laughing.
