University of Indonesia campus, 10:00 PM.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAZwvznh5x1R
Students from the evening classes pour out, heading home.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAiayOtVjQ7e
Two identical twin girls in pink leather jackets stroll casually along the sidewalk toward the Seroja Indah Apartments.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAB6pl2K4C9Y
Rani: "What a tiring night class."
69Please respect copyright.PENANADqLc8MiY4D
Rina: "Yeah, especially with a killer lecturer."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAIMwjwsqOiN
The twins giggle.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAy20PpN6U9D
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.
69Please respect copyright.PENANArNcckBaa03
"Weladalah.. wedus!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAc5pWUqD3uu
Yes, these are Giono, Karto, and Turiman — The Green Gang.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAJN7YImRqnn
Giono: "Well, would you look at that… Tarmin, why's your ketoprak so spicy tonight?"
69Please respect copyright.PENANALGo7nXVfzQ
Tarmin: "Only used two chilis, Boss."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAYOJL0EEecD
Karto: "Of course it's spicy, Min. Those were bird's eye chilis!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANApE8gRDz1yG
Turiman and Tarmin grin like horses.
69Please respect copyright.PENANALJO0AGGMP4
Turiman: "After ketoprak, it'd be perfect to order coffee, right Boss?"
69Please respect copyright.PENANA3TZlM0pIAt
Giono: "Sheep… That's exactly what I was thinking, Man!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANARraeRpwAgv
Karto: "Black coffee, right Boss?"
Turiman: "Two spoons of coffee, half a spoon of sugar."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAybCXPE4Itc
Giono: "Weduss… And don't forget, stir exactly 18 times."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAI0yWpFR1q1

21–2 Yu Karmi's Snack Table
69Please respect copyright.PENANAugQzejmc4l
Giono gulps down a glass of mineral water, face red from Tarmin's chili blast.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAOPPio611BJ
Giono: "Sheep… You trying to prank me, Min?"
Tarmin just chuckles, while Karto and Turiman smirk.
69Please respect copyright.PENANABIkagkbhgp
Giono: "Hey, Karto! Go order three coffees from Yu Karmi…"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAsTR4owTE2M
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.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAJKm6Zw8Nqw
Karto: "On it, Boss…"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAchFiesoSxa
Giono: "Karto, make sure one is black…"
69Please respect copyright.PENANA96m32qUwCz
Karto: "Two spoons coffee, half spoon sugar."
69Please respect copyright.PENANApUn2Cn6g2B
Turiman: "Stir exactly 18 times. No more, no less."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAeTsKI7bx4l

69Please respect copyright.PENANAGHs9ZtAP6V
Giono: "Hey, Tarmin! Want coffee too?"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAiigdGpstgz
Tarmin: "No thanks, Boss."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAzSb5fOOyfx
Turiman: "Tarmin's afraid the coffee will fight the ketoprak…"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAaM48z2iI2G
Tarmin frowns. Karto bursts out laughing.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAQteUZ4N1qp
Giono: "Wedus… Don't worry, Min. The coffee's on the house…"

21–3 Four Suspicious Young Men
69Please respect copyright.PENANAcKNHw6iIQl
Under the dim streetlamp, in the parking lot, Giono, Karto, and Turiman enjoy their coffee and cigarettes.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAF5KzQQVu5j
At Yu Karmi's table, the three chat about nothing in particular. Suddenly, Karto glances toward the apartment gate.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAB5dfyp0N9l
Karto: "Hey, Turiman! Take a look at the entrance."
69Please respect copyright.PENANASQg1Hr7poZ
Turiman turns toward where Karto's pointing.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAZfiCU080kf
There stand four young men, each holding a pair of nunchaku, twirling them like fans.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAdZGf7R2cVD
Turiman: "Suspicious…"
69Please respect copyright.PENANArnIgjTIgXV
Karto: "Yep. They've been there since before we started eating ketoprak."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAVx9Gwl97dp
Turiman: "Looks like they're waiting for someone…"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAAcbLuHcfTV
Karto: "Judging by the weapons, they're clearly waiting for an enemy."
69Please respect copyright.PENANA92wbkiWSzw
Turiman: "I think they're gonna beat someone up."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAo7frByNhs6
Karto: "Yup, Man…"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAvZNd63upn3
Giono, who had been ignoring them, now looks toward the apartment gate, brow furrowing.
69Please respect copyright.PENANACNi2S2tvDx
Giono: "Karto, pay for the coffee."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAqInXv9zaAo
Karto: "How much, Yu? Three coffees, four packs of peanuts."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAYpnNqWIaFo
Yu Karmi: "Twenty thousand, Mas."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAIWHFTYWJiG
Karto hands over the money.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAVnzZcgsQM6
Giono: "Pay for the ketoprak too, To."
69Please respect copyright.PENANABchLTHQBPh
Karto: "Three ketoprak, how much, Min?"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAATRRutDvly
Tarmin: "All together, twenty–six thousand, Mas."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAe1tzFdnlhW
Karto hands him thirty thousand.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAwAIYMKWqm8

21-4: Giono Becomes Suspicious
69Please respect copyright.PENANAXbohvsSQoA
As the leader of the Green Gang, Giono could already read the movements of the four young men armed with nunchaku
69Please respect copyright.PENANAdTfJogQQkg
Giono: "Weladalah... Karto, you and Turiman, keep an eye on them."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAuW4HncfsEu
Karto and Turiman nodded.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAFfYQn0Jnuh
Giono: "Don't let them start trouble here."
69Please respect copyright.PENANA1uny8jaJdW
Karto: "Got it, Boss!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAL7evk2NC4G
Turiman simply nodded in alertness.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAJXS2OLjG5U
Tarmin whispered something to Yu Karmi.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAi6Jx4BKSdK
Suddenly, one of the four young men pointed ahead.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA4k0HSea8GL
Giono, Karto, and Turiman turned their heads toward where he pointed.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAKh40yK6t7Y
Two twin girls in pink leather jackets were walking cheerfully toward the apartment gate guarded by the four men.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZOZGfbNKO
Giono: "Weladalah, wedus..."

21-5 Giono Just Watches
69Please respect copyright.PENANA1E1cVaW64s
Karto: "Boss, looks like they're going to mess with those twin girls..."
69Please respect copyright.PENANARAoRidskgK
Turiman: "Cowards. Four against two..."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAXOqCaFtO9M
As a seasoned fighter, Giono could tell from the twins' light footwork that they were not to be underestimated.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAH9U2nd4fFs
Giono: "Karto, Turiman... stay put and watch."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAriB5sf5Uxu
Karto and Turiman nodded.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAasbfNJ0n80
Sure enough, the four young men ran up to the twins and surrounded them.
69Please respect copyright.PENANARuQzlibopD
The ninchakus spun around, creating a cage.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAHb7aXaUQ0v
The twins—Rani and Rina, experts in throwing knives—showed no sign of fear.
69Please respect copyright.PENANANlEupnwwpq
Sensing trouble, Rani and Rina glanced at each other.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAojbx2fjgT6
Rani: "Rina, are you scared?"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAIvf1xwkDCl
Rina: "Are you scared, Rani?"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAupTkA8r6bS
The two laughed lightly and took their stances.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAABvtqtp4sS
Giono simply observed, holding an empty plastic cup.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAM1fhPgtRSi
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.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAApL7dsH5yM
One of the four young men, Sopian, twirled his nunchaku in front of Rani and Rina.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAlocWkvagYx
Sopian: "Hey, Pendi! Let's grab these two mbelgedes girls!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAA7VdoSax4G
Pendi: "We'll make it look like an accident..."
69Please respect copyright.PENANA1mQYv7GkKB
The four of them closed in tighter on Rani and Rina.

69Please respect copyright.PENANA23wvPnADil
Sopian lunged forward, swinging his nunchaku at the twins, followed by the other three.
69Please respect copyright.PENANArr5uiLVPWn
The flurry of swings and strikes kept Rani and Rina hemmed in.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAD83SNw7zfm
So far, they had been able to dodge.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA1MM57VSL1S
Occasionally, they struck back with punches and kicks, but their movements were limited.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAXrHwVFTG84
Rina: "Rani, get the knives ready!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAJCZlgUSF2Z
Rani nodded, pulling four knives from inside her jacket.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAyIV2nHuWNF
Giono, Karto, and Turiman grew tense.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAFOcWow64kC
Karto: "Cowards... you martabak ketan!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANA7JOEZsckAg
Turiman: "Shame on you, ganging up on women!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANA3EcQBpbStH
Karto: "And with weapons too..."

69Please respect copyright.PENANAqgb3jms8xs
From the exchange so far, Giono could tell these four were worthy opponents for Rani and Rina.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAlhTinUwhCp
But outnumbered, the twins began to struggle.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAuWUbi0R3GK
Suddenly—
69Please respect copyright.PENANA5euK3oWTpO
Rani threw four knives at Pendi and Panjul.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAGHgtrdbbIw
Whoosh! Whoosh!
69Please respect copyright.PENANAVhvNcymWdm
Rina did the same toward Sopian and Eko.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAnoU0L7zoHp
Whoosh! Whoosh!
69Please respect copyright.PENANAaJNsx55Zvj
All four spun their nunchakus rapidly.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAu6WGRuL1mE
Clang! Clang!
69Please respect copyright.PENANA0fQsIoaKTN
The knives clashed against the spinning sticks and fell to the ground.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAdu8CWIERRR
The twins were shocked—other than Mariana, no one had ever deflected their blades before.
69Please respect copyright.PENANACQn7ERTAEF
Sweat trickled down their foreheads.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAZuNm4QHjmn
Rani: "Damn it, they can block our knives, Rina..."
69Please respect copyright.PENANA2HqZAMp5Ip
Rina simply nodded, too busy dodging.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAIUKTZDCGFv
The four pressed their attack, driving the twins back.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAZYD88pEi10
Then suddenly—
69Please respect copyright.PENANAQUlFNpfxXT
Pletak!
69Please respect copyright.PENANAKo2hvErSOC
Panjul: "Aduh!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAYhpfJKuQVB
A huge lump formed on Panjul's forehead. At his feet lay a plastic cup.
69Please respect copyright.PENANATIa4HutAuz
A familiar voice barked:

21-8: Plastic Cup vs. Nunchaku
69Please respect copyright.PENANAqEVhtSdI90
Panjul turned toward the voice.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAcp4lBi0xlx
He saw three men—one of them tall and broad—approaching.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAnpHSJ5pNMg
It was Giono, Turiman, and Karto.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA7zJ5XbC7cB
Karto and Turiman unbuckled their belts.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA0liPs6FW3Q
Turiman's belt had a stainless steel tip shaped like an Indian head.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAywQgnzxdmo
Karto's belt had a tip shaped like a horse's head.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAZhebqF3qE4
Giono carried only the two plastic cups, one in each hand.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAaEC8Sm9FWm
They advanced toward the fight.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAmGDCmckXLr
Panjul: "Hey, Pendi, look! That thug made a lump on my head!"

69Please respect copyright.PENANAWeAa40VvPO
Karto spun his belt over his head and lashed out at Eko, the horse-head tip whistling through the air.
69Please respect copyright.PENANANwwK53l2Vb
Turiman swung at Pendi with the Indian-head tip of his belt.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAOsX0Zr0bKg
Giono moved toward Panjul, cups in hand.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAHk7jYIpvyD
Sopian still faced off against the twins.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAtcwMXik2N4
The fight began to even out.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAtOJypfVfdF
Panjul, already rattled from the earlier blow, now found himself under heavy pressure from Giono.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA8bUSsKcLWt
Panjul: "Kutu kupret!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANA6zId0IiahT
His strikes were dodged or blocked—by plastic cups.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAJlxBgFWzTj
Whack! Whack!
69Please respect copyright.PENANAn5l7KdXq8y
Nunchaku met cup—and the cup didn't even dent.

Karto hammered away at Eko with his belt.
69Please respect copyright.PENANATfZqseNzjJ
The shorter nunchaku couldn't get close.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAQo4QpSDSt1
Turiman's belt whirled like a helicopter blade, keeping Pendi on the defensive.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAWSeZEVt414
The twins easily handled Sopian—when they worked together, he was no match.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAkg7PLuvbcX
The four men's only real strength was in fighting together... but now each was isolated against a strong opponent.

69Please respect copyright.PENANArLB8bGYiA8
Sopian began to falter under the twins' relentless knife throws.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAMNBTVVSkxO
Sopian: "Damn, we came to gang up on them, now they're ganging up on me!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAYtuRh1wvjc
Panjul, too, was in trouble—Giono's plastic cups carried a strange cold energy that pushed back his stick.
69Please respect copyright.PENANASRq2yHcIBJ
Panjul: "Kutu kupret! These cups are as hard as steel and cold as ice!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAQGcBXohYAz
His movements slowed.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA3qKz4bZwM9
Eko was also losing ground—Karto's belt strikes kept him completely at bay.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAPZdEybfHaP
Whack! Whack!

Metal met wood, and Eko's arms grew heavy.

Pendi: "Bujur buneng… if this goes on, I'm gonna die here…"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAZV1CdINRLG
Facing such fierce and agile opponents, their strength was draining fast. They were growing tired.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAXh4uIXvLEO
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.

69Please respect copyright.PENANAeIHxYwm7b4
Sopian, feeling pressured by Rani and Rina's paired techniques, couldn't do much.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAkcyDNG5uuu
Sopian: "Kampret, those two girls are about to throw knives…"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAFk9zaYzIS3
His movements began to slow. The strikes of his nunchaku—two short sticks linked by a chain—were becoming sloppy.
69Please respect copyright.PENANACcBenHFzIk
Meanwhile, Rani and Rina unleashed their synchronized style.
Rani leapt high, hurling two knives toward Sopian's upper body.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAZnViTrgIbP
At the same time, Rina threw two knives aimed at Sopian's lower body.

"Ouch!"

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.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAVcVdAmTYYS
One of Rina's knives struck Sopian's hand, making him drop his nunchaku.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA916hr7ojx0
The other embedded itself in his left leg, making him limp before collapsing to the ground with a cry.

This time it wasn't nunchaku vs plastic cup, but a plastic cup smacking Panjul's head twice in a row.

The first bump hadn't even gone down before two more appeared…
69Please respect copyright.PENANAZP59yllATv
