4-1: The Cobra Gang
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3NwMmAKmj
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzQ8SBZFAL
Two young women in matching pink leather jackets strolled along the sidewalk toward their apartment.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiTBKTQF9C
It was the same street they had walked earlier in the evening—when they beat up four local thugs.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFgjeZKZov
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRxvhvt4pd
They were Rani and Rina.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CAZxcusCJ
Rani: "Rina, look up ahead."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmgPQNDaka
Rina lifted her gaze toward where Rani was pointing.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMHCtawKgp
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD0pbA4kUQ
Some held wooden clubs or empty beer bottles. Their stance looked suspicious.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3EfsRTMOQ
Rina: "What do you think they want?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn3ySFZzlC
Rani: "They're waiting for us."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyHKGQXV8t
Rina: "What do you mean?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyEuRUWk0M
Rani: "See that guy over there? The one who ran away when we took down his three friends earlier?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk1lB77Lat
Rina: "Misno."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2mvE6L0e0
Rani: "Exactly."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStCesIMY7N
They exchanged a glance.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMqAW1ExTT
Rina: "Are you scared, Rani?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHAPEwAisz
Rani: "Are you scared, Rina?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn4wcrfTFy
They both smirked, then laughed lightly. Without the slightest hint of fear, they continued walking toward the apartment.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RpP6UgegA
Their fingers brushed the inside of their jackets, where small, lightweight, razor-sharp knives were tucked away.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkPShWWM4X
In the distance, Misno—the only one who had escaped the earlier brawl—watched them tensely.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvYWOKbCeH
Misno: "That's them! They're the ones who smashed Misnan, Martoyo, and Gendon!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTicfUzWSJc
The other eleven turned their heads toward the twins.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7fnaXhvTi
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWM1Mo6Vyu
He gripped a heavy wooden club. His name was Darko.

4-2 Beating the Thugs
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq6yh6fTku
Darko: "So you're the ones who smacked Gendon and tossed Martoyo around."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB6JQGCHdN
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0awRQhr0ri
Despite his size, his expression was fierce. His name was Kodir.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSmhKBTnAK
Kodir: "And the ones who twisted Misnan's arm!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCBvgixcwT
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YMSalSZ8V
Kariman: "Wow, they're gorgeous! Forget choosing, I'll just take one of them!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR4Id3t0Kf
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y5H01oEW2
Glegh!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpaKYKWzWI
Wooden clubs and empty beer bottles glinted in their hands.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcJ6P61eBc
The twins stayed indifferent.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9boC76yrI
Darko: "How dare you beat up my boys!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3z2FO4ID5
Kodir: "Let's just smash them now, Ko!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYtPpJ3ap4
Kariman: "Don't be too rough, Dir."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42vZe4DvPc
Kodir: "Ha! You've got a crush, huh, Man? Always defending them!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeqN1Lkhy8
Kariman grinned sheepishly.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhL7Avt8RO
Darko: "You're going to pay for this!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1piOguZmp
Kodir: "Serve us!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzZXaTZY5Y
Darko: "Or we'll turn you into perkedel—Indonesian fried potato patties!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDCUIU8Zw5
The twins still didn't flinch.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9utYIIuZFf
Kariman: "Better be my girlfriend instead—beats becoming perkedel, right?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7HaTCdqZZ
The others chuckled or stayed silent.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fUiYAEMFo
But Misno? Still staring. Still swallowing.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cYJFgLdRF
Glegh!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn1fEyDcst
Darko, gripping the empty beer bottle, finally began to lose his patience.

4-3 Beating the Thugs – Part 2
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjx6maNiiT
Darko: "Surrender now—voluntarily."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatyK2G3gw2
Rani and Rina stayed indifferent but alert. Both shifted into a fighting stance.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDkuqYNT8D
Kodir, already out of patience after being ignored for so long, stepped toward them and raised his wooden club.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7yWecdWUl
Kariman, still smitten, stayed where he was.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RUfxLFLIn
Misno swallowed hard, eyes wide, already picturing the twins turning into perkedel—Indonesian fried potato patties.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A4QJw8PD4
The rest of the gang began to advance as well.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqoOvicocl
The short Kodir swung his club at Rani, clearly aiming to knock her down with a single blow.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXIDPdmqeP
But Rani moved fast. Before the club could land, her hands shot left and right—slapping Kodir's cheeks in quick succession.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw15OQx6eZl
Smack! Slap! Smack! Slap!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKgeyLZGAW
Kodir: "Ouch! Mercy!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ywMFH13Gh
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXfBb52bMR
Darko's eyes widened as he glanced at the groaning Kodir.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rpQkWk35K
Kariman froze. Lucky for him, he hadn't rushed in.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFkyk5CHNP
Misno stared harder, swallowing again and again.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZIppIlMrT
The rest of the gang, seeing Kodir's puffy cheeks, grew angrier.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zwpD6xrN6
Misno, remembering how Gendon had been taken down earlier, suddenly lost his nerve again.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MdR2SWAcv
Kariman didn't move either—after all, if a slap could do that to Kodir's face, what could it do to his?
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBHWQQ0ouu
Though shocked, Darko's anger outweighed his fear. He brandished the beer bottle in his hand.

4-4 Darko Goes to the Hospital
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYG8Ch4pYT
Darko: "Today, the hospital's waiting for you!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpMsUxWvDd
This time, Rina stepped forward to face him.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jJoOUUpbg
Several swings of the beer bottle were easily dodged.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16cu8jdTJg
It didn't take long. Rina moved like lightning—her upward kick connecting with Darko's jaw.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqh6AdLlqF
Thump!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIClrBSfHj
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UPwqqgRdz
The beer bottle rolled away into the dark.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG3XNAveUQ
Misno's eyes bulged so far they looked ready to pop out. Kariman quietly stepped back toward him.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWgbuiiKgH
The rest of the gang, furious at seeing Darko fall, surged forward, surrounding Rani and Rina, swinging wooden clubs and beer bottles.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVlpxVHM9P
They clearly intended to leave the twins battered and bruised.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXfYsTtwB4
Rani: "What do you think?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuE7OvebTU
Rina: "I'm thinking the same as you."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpaVayjbCy
Rani and Rina reached inside their pink jackets, pulled out small knives, and slid them between their fingers.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx7nRydSPu
They were ready to throw.

4-5: Flying Knives vs. The Thugs
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXG3zYimWE
The thugs surrounding Rani and Rina kept pressing forward, shouting nonsense.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6BJOmGrbX
Thug 1: "Finish these women!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPS7CpiLK6
Thug 2: "Let's make perkedel out of them!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmIDtDqCaa
Thug 3: "No—make them ikan pepes!" (Indonesian grilled fish in banana leaves)
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVkJkZXaUj
Thug 4: "Let's beat them up together!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHV6zxSTyg
Their noisy shouts filled the night air.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U4084bxpm
Off to the side, Kariman and Misno exchanged glances—their courage had completely evaporated.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPAZdZ6NJj
Meanwhile, Rani and Rina only smiled faintly.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVSSRxMEDK
The moment the gang moved in, the twins' knives flew.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wRQGJqDVg
Their matched set of throwing knives shot forward.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdhm4VATo5
Rani leaped upward, aiming for anything from the neck up.
Rina stayed low, aiming from the waist down.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5nbYmfZjN
Swish!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wX3TREL7o
Swish!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4qZn9KBta
Knives whirled through the air in all directions.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ616WkjdV7Y
"Ow! My cheek got nicked!"
"Ow! My leg!"
"Ow! My head!"
"Ow! My hand!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VS6TPp9E5
Cries of pain erupted everywhere.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UumKn99XU
The thugs stumbled, clutching bleeding cuts from the twin sisters' blades.

4-6: Misno Runs Away – Part 2
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ELMf7JLo7
In the middle of the chaos, Kariman and Misno locked eyes again.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlCeHa62bT
Kariman: "No…"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsPeM6szWj
Misno: "Man…"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6zA0JdDd9
Their courage was gone, their faces pale as paper.
Hands and knees shook uncontrollably.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1YI2pw7pb
Misno swallowed hard, eyes wide, searching for Kariman.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG0k1tbvMC
Misno: "Where are you, Man?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVkUk5An4E
He looked around—Kariman was nowhere in sight.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTPPSyESQK
Turns out Kariman had already bolted from the scene!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ds3SPybL7
Misno let out a pitiful, weak shout:
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYMzWWuzCH
Misno: "Don't leave me, Man!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCck2s8OHN
Without another thought, Misno took off at full speed, chasing after Kariman.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEyVdYWUpg
Meanwhile, Rani glanced at the thugs still standing.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR58gnaiaeC
Rani: "Anyone still want perkedel?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbZAJvMUvD
Rina: "Or maybe ikan pepes?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2F1ntivwP
The thugs hunched over in pain, eyes full of fear and panic.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPcq9KKJAq
Fortunately for them, Rani and Rina were only toying around—they never intended to kill.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuZTfyDuj6
Without sparing the wounded thugs another glance, the twins strolled casually toward the apartment gate.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89CXdRUyVd
They smiled faintly.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxjBIlszDA
Then burst out laughing.
