Jiang Ling. A place that held a lot of memories for Rasa. None of them good. The smell of rotting food permeated the air. Well, at least it covers the smell of rotting corpses. Rasa cursed whichever gods had made him come back to this awful place. It seemed like a nice enough city to outsiders. Lots of food, plentiful jobs, beautiful women, a vertible paradise it seemed. To those who had no where else to go, it was hell. No one would hire a kid off the streets, which meant you had to steal to live. And that usually killed you too. It was no surprise that there were very very few people Rasa's age. Most were killed off long before they reached his age of seventeen. Those that did would probably live to be a hundred. If they weren't already. He looked at the note in his hand. A blind man could have read it if he had to. The only thing printed on the tattered paper was a symbol. The same symbol that had helped him survive all those years ago. The same symbol that had tried to kill him all those years ago. But here he was, once again staring at Jiang Ling. There was nothing left to do but head into town.
When old friends called for help, a lot of things go through your mind. In the end though, you'll always go help. When those same old friends were also old enemies you thought were dead? Well, someone had to finish the job, right?

He ducked into a familiar dark alley. Someone in the shadows spoke up. "Password?"
"The dagger is sharp, but the mind is sharper." An old mantra that had framed his life from the beginning.
"No. Now get out of here before I slice you up."
Not the password? Well of course the password would change after this long, still it was worth a shot. And being threatened was only natural here, but it still irked Rasa. This kid was less then half his size! He thought he could stand a chance against someone who had seen hell? "Stand down. I, Rasa, demand to see Guy Nong. He is expecting me."
"I doubt that. Guy Nong died a long time ago. Nu Way is in charge now. Now scram!"
Rasa's anger flared for an instant then was replaced by ice. Anger won't help here. Find another way in. "Well I was going to tell you some information about Zu Dung, but since you aren't interested..." Rasa turned around and started to walk away. One step. Two...
"Wait." Bingo. He thought that might get a response. "I'll go talk to Nu Way. You wait here.

Nu Way was annoyed. "You know something about Zu Dong?" He spat on the ground. This kid was riddled with scars. Obviously a fighter, but not very bright.
Rasa showed him the symbol he had. "Information first." When he saw the reaction the mark gave Nu Way his suspicions were confirmed.
"Where did you get that?" Nu Way was ready to defend himself from even the tiniest possible threat. A rat would have set him off.
Ideas thundered around Rasa's brain. He deduced what he thought to be the most likely scenario. Nu Way had had enough of Guy Nong's preaching and decided he wanted the power for himself. Taking it by force he made the other members of the band bow to him. But things didn't go as planned. Guy Nong had gotten a message out to the only one he thought he could trust. And Rasa had shown up. So now both men knew the other as enemy. But perhaps he didn't know Rasa knew. "It's an old code from before Guy Nong's time. It means to gather for war. There's supposed to be a meeting with Zu Dung on the night of the full moon. Tonight. No better chance to hit him." A complete lie, but he doesn't have to know that.
Nu Way licks his lips, then takes the bait. "Alright, we'll strike him. This works out well and you'll get yourself some decent pocket money."
"I look forward to it. I'll see you tonight then." Rasa turned and walked off. First he had to make sure that Zu Dung gets the same message, then he had to prepare the battlefield. A lot of work and so little time to do it in.

Midnight found Rasa crouched in the shadows. He was covered with sweat and exhausted, but he smiled. Nu Way and his group showed up at the exact time as Zu Dung. "Today we have your head Zu Dung! Charge!" His men rushed into the fray. Blood sprayed across the ground. Rasa cautiously put a hand on his chain scythe and got ready to pull. It was strung from between two scaffolds and when pressure was applied would cut the supports dropping both of them to ground cutting off retreat for both groups. In a moment the bodies had piled high enough for Nu Way who began to shout for retreat. Rasa yanked his weapon hard, the scaffolds crashing down in a roar that crushed the lucky ones and trapped the rest. "What was that? What's going on?" Panic was everywhere. Even the weakened force of Zu Dung was bewildered.
Rasa scrambled to the top of a pile of rubble and started to swing his chain vertically. When all eyes were on him he began to speak. "I am Rasa! Right hand of Guy Nong! Those of you here now have forgotten the most important thing in survival. Intelligence. With only a few words I alone have brought down the two most powerful gangs in this area. Perhaps in your next life you shall be reincarnated as something with a brain." And then he hurled his scythe up wards toward the sky, cutting some rope and triggering the second trap. Lumber began to fall from the sky with deadly and inescapable force. An overturned brazier poured fire onto the wooden tomb. Rasa watched the fire burn, making sure everyone was dead before tossing the piece of cloth that had summoned him here into the fire. "That's the end of it Guy Nong. Everyone you loved, everyone you hated, and everyone who betrayed you is now dead. I hope this brings you some measure of peace down in hell." He laughed. "Well, at least now you have some company."
