University of Indonesia campus, 10:00 PM.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAR193HJCZ5L
Students from the evening classes pour out, heading home.
46Please respect copyright.PENANApH0MuPCOeV
Two identical twin girls in pink leather jackets stroll casually along the sidewalk toward the Seroja Indah Apartments.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAaJkRZaIA1U
Rani: "What a tiring night class."
46Please respect copyright.PENANARpgIR4cz3h
Rina: "Yeah, especially with a killer lecturer."
46Please respect copyright.PENANA35MnLhyG7x
The twins giggle.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAXiGSNbqeHu
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.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAkzqooET0ja
"Weladalah.. wedus!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAecfBQRjo3I
Yes, these are Giono, Karto, and Turiman — The Green Gang.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA02terpRmYP
Giono: "Well, would you look at that… Tarmin, why's your ketoprak so spicy tonight?"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAdcyBUZk86F
Tarmin: "Only used two chilis, Boss."
46Please respect copyright.PENANApJ16FmBetO
Karto: "Of course it's spicy, Min. Those were bird's eye chilis!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAFUm6IJ98oZ
Turiman and Tarmin grin like horses.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAjOLfhM4TiI
Turiman: "After ketoprak, it'd be perfect to order coffee, right Boss?"
46Please respect copyright.PENANANc1RiJGIuA
Giono: "Sheep… That's exactly what I was thinking, Man!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAlJooivVaG1
Karto: "Black coffee, right Boss?"
Turiman: "Two spoons of coffee, half a spoon of sugar."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAfKXuLgdtQy
Giono: "Weduss… And don't forget, stir exactly 18 times."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAgAQ4C9mMYP

21–2 Yu Karmi's Snack Table
46Please respect copyright.PENANAN4P94huaVt
Giono gulps down a glass of mineral water, face red from Tarmin's chili blast.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA0DTSxnSSIN
Giono: "Sheep… You trying to prank me, Min?"
Tarmin just chuckles, while Karto and Turiman smirk.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAL8E5cdLVik
Giono: "Hey, Karto! Go order three coffees from Yu Karmi…"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAHysoq7fRK4
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.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAFTtJTLRk7Q
Karto: "On it, Boss…"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAw0dwNsHaGU
Giono: "Karto, make sure one is black…"
46Please respect copyright.PENANABV5unbP1pM
Karto: "Two spoons coffee, half spoon sugar."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAgVkf2oawD5
Turiman: "Stir exactly 18 times. No more, no less."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAE9uiLV9Qan
This time it's Tarmin's turn to grin like a horse.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA8xZUmwOH0T
Giono: "Hey, Tarmin! Want coffee too?"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAONUz60XOuQ
Tarmin: "No thanks, Boss."
46Please respect copyright.PENANA6Eh1GjUqUE
Turiman: "Tarmin's afraid the coffee will fight the ketoprak…"
46Please respect copyright.PENANA0yxvavFwr1
Tarmin frowns. Karto bursts out laughing.
46Please respect copyright.PENANATU2pwc2pI6
Giono: "Wedus… Don't worry, Min. The coffee's on the house…"

21–3 Four Suspicious Young Men
46Please respect copyright.PENANA49SyPO9DqH
Under the dim streetlamp, in the parking lot, Giono, Karto, and Turiman enjoy their coffee and cigarettes.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAfbheyNurVq
At Yu Karmi's table, the three chat about nothing in particular. Suddenly, Karto glances toward the apartment gate.
46Please respect copyright.PENANALg9cPHhVHR
Karto: "Hey, Turiman! Take a look at the entrance."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAgBcl9JYCjG
Turiman turns toward where Karto's pointing.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAXn87VQNZz0
There stand four young men, each holding a pair of nunchaku, twirling them like fans.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA2WUCfYbKLf
Turiman: "Suspicious…"
46Please respect copyright.PENANA25qihcLCWh
Karto: "Yep. They've been there since before we started eating ketoprak."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAMJXgFWL4IJ
Turiman: "Looks like they're waiting for someone…"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAmm12t7ovuz
Karto: "Judging by the weapons, they're clearly waiting for an enemy."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAtXIMQzSFxq
Turiman: "I think they're gonna beat someone up."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAhBXoUzC7LD
Karto: "Yup, Man…"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAAI8TuYurhZ
Giono, who had been ignoring them, now looks toward the apartment gate, brow furrowing.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAXUHlhU5enA
Giono: "Karto, pay for the coffee."
46Please respect copyright.PENANATRGFdouxwp
Karto: "How much, Yu? Three coffees, four packs of peanuts."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAsQjIRoPAQF
Yu Karmi: "Twenty thousand, Mas."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAGnbe0e1W0H
Karto hands over the money.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAes5WN1QUd0

46Please respect copyright.PENANAaeV7d4Rzhj
Karto: "Three ketoprak, how much, Min?"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAyvhujNjam1
Tarmin: "All together, twenty–six thousand, Mas."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAWPdNnfOmZY
Karto hands him thirty thousand.

21-4: Giono Becomes Suspicious
46Please respect copyright.PENANA6wh9xLPrV3
As the leader of the Green Gang, Giono could already read the movements of the four young men armed with nunchaku
46Please respect copyright.PENANA06etS0aEuS
Giono: "Weladalah... Karto, you and Turiman, keep an eye on them."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAj5TNH0RT6g
Karto and Turiman nodded.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAC4NQSgrBcj
Giono: "Don't let them start trouble here."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAymyiiUkd8t
Karto: "Got it, Boss!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANA3OWt3QtMx0
Turiman simply nodded in alertness.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAIKslfdCprk
Tarmin whispered something to Yu Karmi.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAikhA8Zogul
Suddenly, one of the four young men pointed ahead.
46Please respect copyright.PENANASx2OilFg0s
Giono, Karto, and Turiman turned their heads toward where he pointed.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA8sWZbwta2o
Two twin girls in pink leather jackets were walking cheerfully toward the apartment gate guarded by the four men.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA0FAsQoZtfx
Giono: "Weladalah, wedus..."

21-5 Giono Just Watches
46Please respect copyright.PENANACNLZfLeuwP
Karto: "Boss, looks like they're going to mess with those twin girls..."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAXQFfwrsEz0
Turiman: "Cowards. Four against two..."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ4fVjm1MV
As a seasoned fighter, Giono could tell from the twins' light footwork that they were not to be underestimated.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAPYc9EH3IdZ
Giono: "Karto, Turiman... stay put and watch."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAklyDmYD0SR
Karto and Turiman nodded.
46Please respect copyright.PENANATPIjALNnkH
Sure enough, the four young men ran up to the twins and surrounded them.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAAqgiXvZaty
The ninchakus spun around, creating a cage.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAN3oXtTgFhQ
The twins—Rani and Rina, experts in throwing knives—showed no sign of fear.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA1C7UrZFckE
Sensing trouble, Rani and Rina glanced at each other.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAErndRwtMG9
Rani: "Rina, are you scared?"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAO5o2MyYA8m
Rina: "Are you scared, Rani?"
46Please respect copyright.PENANARJO1LWtjoE
The two laughed lightly and took their stances.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAn718mxTHHU
Giono simply observed, holding an empty plastic cup.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAkSpJO8ZIwC
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.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6WXwY5OGI
One of the four young men, Sopian, twirled his nunchaku in front of Rani and Rina.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA6vsCm0aY3W
Sopian: "Hey, Pendi! Let's grab these two mbelgedes girls!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAlIkvNMr4iZ
Pendi: "We'll make it look like an accident..."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAIPOGFuwuPb
The four of them closed in tighter on Rani and Rina.

21-6 Nunchakus Encircle Rani and Rina
46Please respect copyright.PENANAoD378znA7P
Sopian lunged forward, swinging his nunchaku at the twins, followed by the other three.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAt6O18mVpRx
The flurry of swings and strikes kept Rani and Rina hemmed in.
46Please respect copyright.PENANATTod9lBf4s
So far, they had been able to dodge.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAVKKkQkOjUK
Occasionally, they struck back with punches and kicks, but their movements were limited.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAYHYbWvgB3c
Rina: "Rani, get the knives ready!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANA7iIrbPdoxf
Rani nodded, pulling four knives from inside her jacket.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAinGVKIR7Vc
Giono, Karto, and Turiman grew tense.
46Please respect copyright.PENANApzAziiRxud
Karto: "Cowards... you martabak ketan!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAuTKLADclhC
Turiman: "Shame on you, ganging up on women!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8UYwJFgz2
Karto: "And with weapons too..."

21-7 Knives vs. Nunchakus
46Please respect copyright.PENANA9ktOGZFKlI
From the exchange so far, Giono could tell these four were worthy opponents for Rani and Rina.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAiFIm6yfxsn
But outnumbered, the twins began to struggle.
46Please respect copyright.PENANASnMAMhkrON
Suddenly—
46Please respect copyright.PENANAc0T725T4ff
Rani threw four knives at Pendi and Panjul.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA4n4kdthvht
Whoosh! Whoosh!
46Please respect copyright.PENANAsDKVpRglW9
Rina did the same toward Sopian and Eko.
46Please respect copyright.PENANANe4yfGbEJ3
Whoosh! Whoosh!
46Please respect copyright.PENANAjEivVtVWGt
All four spun their nunchakus rapidly.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7W8OVbOH4
Clang! Clang!
46Please respect copyright.PENANAAfiNMdCDr7
The knives clashed against the spinning sticks and fell to the ground.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8t0CW7JCb
The twins were shocked—other than Mariana, no one had ever deflected their blades before.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA8XuPTrR7tD
Sweat trickled down their foreheads.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA6l3fHJalb5
Rani: "Damn it, they can block our knives, Rina..."
46Please respect copyright.PENANAqogQ18Vm2l
Rina simply nodded, too busy dodging.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA9aPL6Pz6Md
The four pressed their attack, driving the twins back.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA2rCp32wGQK
Then suddenly—
46Please respect copyright.PENANAjYMO2uN2Fi
Pletak!
46Please respect copyright.PENANAsJshDWwlui
Panjul: "Aduh!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANANCWMM5wb7B
A huge lump formed on Panjul's forehead. At his feet lay a plastic cup.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAIpbjh5j2k2
A familiar voice barked:

46Please respect copyright.PENANA6uGBPMt0qL
Panjul turned toward the voice.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAhmihMhPMWa
He saw three men—one of them tall and broad—approaching.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAFZDUEX7MWi
It was Giono, Turiman, and Karto.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAZiMnO4jKfK
Karto and Turiman unbuckled their belts.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAlzux8yLAlE
Turiman's belt had a stainless steel tip shaped like an Indian head.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAlyON40uEK8
Karto's belt had a tip shaped like a horse's head.
46Please respect copyright.PENANALLQyUtKzdG
Giono carried only the two plastic cups, one in each hand.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAE3vjyahHyV
They advanced toward the fight.

46Please respect copyright.PENANABuq9WCDsgs
Karto spun his belt over his head and lashed out at Eko, the horse-head tip whistling through the air.
46Please respect copyright.PENANArEUzhVb36D
Turiman swung at Pendi with the Indian-head tip of his belt.
46Please respect copyright.PENANApU1Y9DCBPl
Giono moved toward Panjul, cups in hand.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAhita22SBcq
Sopian still faced off against the twins.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAGrMOKmyygg
The fight began to even out.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAUGWh7m0f5Y
Panjul, already rattled from the earlier blow, now found himself under heavy pressure from Giono.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6NKDNvCI1
Panjul: "Kutu kupret!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANACIjfvmO6wa
His strikes were dodged or blocked—by plastic cups.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAskNldkwQW7
Whack! Whack!
46Please respect copyright.PENANANhUNCJsDMO
Nunchaku met cup—and the cup didn't even dent.

The shorter nunchaku couldn't get close.
46Please respect copyright.PENANASkTNw7Qsdj
Turiman's belt whirled like a helicopter blade, keeping Pendi on the defensive.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAMNKJKr6zCb
The twins easily handled Sopian—when they worked together, he was no match.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAnbeAkA2Y6W
The four men's only real strength was in fighting together... but now each was isolated against a strong opponent.

46Please respect copyright.PENANAnfMJMOPtL9
Sopian: "Damn, we came to gang up on them, now they're ganging up on me!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAsDNDhG6FeF
Panjul, too, was in trouble—Giono's plastic cups carried a strange cold energy that pushed back his stick.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAf8l5WExWrg
Panjul: "Kutu kupret! These cups are as hard as steel and cold as ice!"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAZZUMaDAGnx
His movements slowed.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAuTARQbLD3S
Eko was also losing ground—Karto's belt strikes kept him completely at bay.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAmn4e2oHrfm
Whack! Whack!

46Please respect copyright.PENANAFDtEhXbed5
Pendi: "Bujur buneng… if this goes on, I'm gonna die here…"
46Please respect copyright.PENANASIpYT96LCJ
Facing such fierce and agile opponents, their strength was draining fast. They were growing tired.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAyVhXyHUVn8
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.

Cold sweat began to drip down their foreheads. Panic and unease crept in. The increasingly ferocious onslaught made their courage shrink.

46Please respect copyright.PENANA4cKwuwzEik
Sopian: "Kampret, those two girls are about to throw knives…"
46Please respect copyright.PENANAXbJr2xATro
His movements began to slow. The strikes of his nunchaku—two short sticks linked by a chain—were becoming sloppy.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAARh3ff1UGG
Meanwhile, Rani and Rina unleashed their synchronized style.
Rani leapt high, hurling two knives toward Sopian's upper body.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAs2grSl1TSF
At the same time, Rina threw two knives aimed at Sopian's lower body.

One of Rani's knives grazed Sopian's cheek, leaving a long, stinging cut. The other nicked his head, shaving off a patch of hair and leaving a bald spot.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAMoSKLzRVE7
One of Rina's knives struck Sopian's hand, making him drop his nunchaku.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAlQGsXoeMC1

The first bump hadn't even gone down before two more appeared…
