4-1: The Cobra Gang
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwlRrlMh80
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmanl3Vwxr
Two young women in matching pink leather jackets strolled along the sidewalk toward their apartment.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaomjXbcTvB
It was the same street they had walked earlier in the evening—when they beat up four local thugs.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cUgDDs3Tp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJHgfe9t4k
They were Rani and Rina.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69vJH6t5zQ
Rani: "Rina, look up ahead."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvERzFmYjO
Rina lifted her gaze toward where Rani was pointing.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizhVu4UeC9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKmTYBgSJK
Some held wooden clubs or empty beer bottles. Their stance looked suspicious.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN85yJAMeg
Rina: "What do you think they want?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJYx4kXO6a
Rani: "They're waiting for us."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwph4NcOto
Rina: "What do you mean?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P5WCqqMGo
Rani: "See that guy over there? The one who ran away when we took down his three friends earlier?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOToZqUU5J
Rina: "Misno."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdopTZrJuil
Rani: "Exactly."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqcRMdbWeI
They exchanged a glance.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmDenrrDAy
Rina: "Are you scared, Rani?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBaY4qFSp4
Rani: "Are you scared, Rina?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu18IaQA6gt
They both smirked, then laughed lightly. Without the slightest hint of fear, they continued walking toward the apartment.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNLgPtKKtV
Their fingers brushed the inside of their jackets, where small, lightweight, razor-sharp knives were tucked away.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDScGRRx5pD
In the distance, Misno—the only one who had escaped the earlier brawl—watched them tensely.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe7wQGFkHE
Misno: "That's them! They're the ones who smashed Misnan, Martoyo, and Gendon!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgzIAWk7FB
The other eleven turned their heads toward the twins.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr741MuRv3o
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zGVLaywRz
He gripped a heavy wooden club. His name was Darko.

4-2 Beating the Thugs
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWKSjeJCEc
Darko: "So you're the ones who smacked Gendon and tossed Martoyo around."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqLE5SkMmb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHDbz99WwU
Despite his size, his expression was fierce. His name was Kodir.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0xltPjzPQ
Kodir: "And the ones who twisted Misnan's arm!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhngEItaU1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc27kVL1V9
Kariman: "Wow, they're gorgeous! Forget choosing, I'll just take one of them!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO9Vx5T3IN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOPTtAYe0l
Glegh!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve9mRx1IjM
Wooden clubs and empty beer bottles glinted in their hands.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Eox97j9S
The twins stayed indifferent.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbWvVn6YdG
Darko: "How dare you beat up my boys!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINGH0pmnOi
Kodir: "Let's just smash them now, Ko!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRypiR1dp72
Kariman: "Don't be too rough, Dir."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf8xDR5tA6
Kodir: "Ha! You've got a crush, huh, Man? Always defending them!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxUsUDUd9L
Kariman grinned sheepishly.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWnsW3kYlm
Darko: "You're going to pay for this!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9szfp0f8xQ
Kodir: "Serve us!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYT8AhIjqU
Darko: "Or we'll turn you into perkedel—Indonesian fried potato patties!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQltVTOh4TO
The twins still didn't flinch.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDRI3NilXo
Kariman: "Better be my girlfriend instead—beats becoming perkedel, right?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmy2Fcu9s0
The others chuckled or stayed silent.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu4OnryWME
But Misno? Still staring. Still swallowing.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbLmMzS4q9
Glegh!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5TpmXnXB6
Darko, gripping the empty beer bottle, finally began to lose his patience.

4-3 Beating the Thugs – Part 2
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIoJPxk9NS
Darko: "Surrender now—voluntarily."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ0FC5oHpr
Rani and Rina stayed indifferent but alert. Both shifted into a fighting stance.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcLi9LoBBf
Kodir, already out of patience after being ignored for so long, stepped toward them and raised his wooden club.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDAwrZcTvZ
Kariman, still smitten, stayed where he was.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59aUt4UnqI
Misno swallowed hard, eyes wide, already picturing the twins turning into perkedel—Indonesian fried potato patties.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8nXVd6L6a
The rest of the gang began to advance as well.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Bf81T3Is
The short Kodir swung his club at Rani, clearly aiming to knock her down with a single blow.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL8qnLwRfr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh2zhqfY5l
Smack! Slap! Smack! Slap!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDag8D5ryH6
Kodir: "Ouch! Mercy!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6yIwGCWEa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGOUMdaEpI
Darko's eyes widened as he glanced at the groaning Kodir.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJrXfcyU6T
Kariman froze. Lucky for him, he hadn't rushed in.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DdsmvEIOs
Misno stared harder, swallowing again and again.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY90vo5TQLY
The rest of the gang, seeing Kodir's puffy cheeks, grew angrier.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJzH5a3Ntl
Misno, remembering how Gendon had been taken down earlier, suddenly lost his nerve again.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkavH4ZioYE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6asy3gvlir
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItG7IJlIqC
Darko: "Today, the hospital's waiting for you!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie1MPyBdjR
This time, Rina stepped forward to face him.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIqjnytTXp
Several swings of the beer bottle were easily dodged.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewuxRbtoqs
It didn't take long. Rina moved like lightning—her upward kick connecting with Darko's jaw.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h45QR1KPX
Thump!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkobaDXOBb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf27PjhjQu
The beer bottle rolled away into the dark.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzu2l2TK0n
Misno's eyes bulged so far they looked ready to pop out. Kariman quietly stepped back toward him.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCldKGOYGgC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kC67Cm9vv
They clearly intended to leave the twins battered and bruised.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03fwM2n5XC
Rani: "What do you think?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam31ULDZi9
Rina: "I'm thinking the same as you."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwmNeh5f1o
Rani and Rina reached inside their pink jackets, pulled out small knives, and slid them between their fingers.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcyUuWK4Xh
They were ready to throw.

4-5: Flying Knives vs. The Thugs
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIwosYIeg9
The thugs surrounding Rani and Rina kept pressing forward, shouting nonsense.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhDqIaF3iJ
Thug 1: "Finish these women!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaAx367vpN
Thug 2: "Let's make perkedel out of them!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4OtOm85m6
Thug 3: "No—make them ikan pepes!" (Indonesian grilled fish in banana leaves)
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcXevVZ59f
Thug 4: "Let's beat them up together!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cBxPbOMtF
Their noisy shouts filled the night air.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLHfuEloWR
Off to the side, Kariman and Misno exchanged glances—their courage had completely evaporated.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP6oqdj8tl
Meanwhile, Rani and Rina only smiled faintly.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LKt09tQ6j
The moment the gang moved in, the twins' knives flew.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BFImz58sY
Their matched set of throwing knives shot forward.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJbvxuDAO6
Rani leaped upward, aiming for anything from the neck up.
Rina stayed low, aiming from the waist down.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7FKxahSEn
Swish!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0fCWeN2eK
Swish!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sIIjUcHDW
Knives whirled through the air in all directions.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUJ2lyeRiW
"Ow! My cheek got nicked!"
"Ow! My leg!"
"Ow! My head!"
"Ow! My hand!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEScpzQJNs
Cries of pain erupted everywhere.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLANw3adp3v
The thugs stumbled, clutching bleeding cuts from the twin sisters' blades.

4-6: Misno Runs Away – Part 2
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxHgxczfF5
In the middle of the chaos, Kariman and Misno locked eyes again.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhdjTly81n
Kariman: "No…"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbwwDjG0jA
Misno: "Man…"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vnfWV7R4I
Their courage was gone, their faces pale as paper.
Hands and knees shook uncontrollably.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH0pT53OAp
Misno swallowed hard, eyes wide, searching for Kariman.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3U6jWH0Y6
Misno: "Where are you, Man?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhntW0qVGv8
He looked around—Kariman was nowhere in sight.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YMhHgrmnK
Turns out Kariman had already bolted from the scene!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WsZuhDQHA
Misno let out a pitiful, weak shout:
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zwilx9cYl
Misno: "Don't leave me, Man!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEjaAAUW6z
Without another thought, Misno took off at full speed, chasing after Kariman.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hYawiCDHj
Meanwhile, Rani glanced at the thugs still standing.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWxoJdbUwD
Rani: "Anyone still want perkedel?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8It30F9RyZ
Rina: "Or maybe ikan pepes?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKwxzPnMV9
The thugs hunched over in pain, eyes full of fear and panic.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ81L6tslR
Fortunately for them, Rani and Rina were only toying around—they never intended to kill.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GHhfFTr3D
Without sparing the wounded thugs another glance, the twins strolled casually toward the apartment gate.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4sa509YOX
They smiled faintly.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksYIK6X6ip
Then burst out laughing.
