"Ni madres, How THE HELL do we keep gettin' into these STUPID situations!?" A young, red-haired, almond-brown skinned woman named Baya screamed sarcastically. 

"Blame yuh idiotic girlfriend. If she wouldn't have pissed off the damn guards we'd be fine." Yelled a short, young man with a bright, blonde ponytail and cream colored skin by the name of Vastago.

"GRAHAHA! ¡A huevo chica! This is why I fucks with you jefa, you really know how to have fun, unlike these ñoños." Laughed Viento, a tall man with spiky hair, whose skin was as dark as the night. 

"Mi vieja, don't worry everything'll be fine mi amor just keep running! Another woman named Malum, with lime green hair and eyes, whose skin was brown as caramel, yelled out to her Baya as she smacked her butt. "¡Chale! Watch out for those damn bullets!" 

"You know when I was told t'night would be fun, I didn't think y'all meant this fun. A lady named Suelo, with beautiful dark skin that matched her curly afro, yelled before turning around. "Arghhhh I'm tired of running from these pussies though. I say we turn around and kick their ass!" 

"¡Te voy a partir tu madre!" Malum screamed at her.

Suelo turned around, pulled a rifle out, and began firing at the Pecunia Police Force that was chasing after them. 

"Son of a…I WANT THOSE PIECE OF SHITS IN HANDCUFFS, TONIGHT!" Yelled out PPF's Captain.

""""Yes sir Captain Nighson!""""

"Esto está la chingada…GET YOUR ASSES BACK TO THE FUCKING HIDEOUT AND IF YOU ANY OF YOU EVEN THINK OF DYING I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF!" 

Malum ran down an alleyway. She turned back momentarily but couldn't see anyone.

"It seems you're all alone again, are you my dear? It's been what? Five years since its creation and you've already turned this state upside down. Maybe you're not the same little girl, but Excitatur definitely isn't the same either…it's nothing like the way your books tell of it grandmother." The masked onlooker muttered to themself. "What say you R? How do you feel about our little friend?

"I wouldn't want that filthy creature cleaning my toilets, let alone entering Tournoá Tou Menos. You can't let her enter, V. She, like this country, is a stain on Emovere. A stain that needs to be removed one way or another." 

"Pahaha, there's so much hate in your heart for a place you once called home. Your rightful home might I add. But that can be managed at a later point in time, for now I believe we both have business to attend too, don't we?" 

"You mean that one? Yeah, I guess I could pay her a visit, she is my daughter after all."

Tournament let out a slight chuckle before leaping off the rooftop and disappearing into the night.

"Can't believe I let them goad me into seeing her yet they never spent a second with theirs…ahhh whatever, this should be fun." 

As R followed suit, the sound of jewelry clinging against each other could be heard appearing from behind the chimney.

"Mulahaha, so the Orange Rose is back in ol Excitatur, and it seems she has some new friends too. This should be interstin', real mighty fine interestin'. I'm so glad I bought this damn state! Could turn it into whatever I want!" 

"AYE shut up you idiot I'm trying to sleep! And get the heck off my roof before I call the police!" 

"Eh? And who do you think pays the police?"

"M-M-M-MR. K-"

"Shutcho yo trap. You see this here?" The man questioned as he continued jingling the diamonds in his hand. "This is true power right here! This is the line between me and all you penniless folks. Don't ever speak to me ever again." 

"Ahem, Sir. Since the Orange Rose is back in Excitatur, maybe we can get her to rid us of Vindicta?"

"Well, that's a mighty fine idea now isn't it, Sherly?"

"M-My name's not-"

"Yeah, yeah whatever Carly. Now I just wonder what's your asking price gonna be this time? You darn near ran me dry before." 

The state of Excitatur was a beautiful one. Its all-white building reminded visitors of an ancient city in far off lands. Excitatur is considered to be the wealthiest state in all of Emovere. Before the wars started it was the number one tourist attraction because of its rich culture and since it was next to the ocean fishers would visit often. After the wars it still held its title as wealthiest, no thanks in part to its leader, but its border had since been closed off. 

Eventually, Malum made her way back to their hideout, but nobody was around. The hideout of Vindicta was an old run-down building just outside of Excitatur. To the public it was a regular casino, but underneath was the real attraction. Vindicta was an enormously large gang, so large in fact that it had been split up into four divisions by Malu, with each division having a total of fifty members. Baya was the commander of the Corazón, a division she ran from the hideout with most of her members disguising themselves as casino workers and security guards. Viento was the commander of Diamanté, and his division was the muscle. He ran a boxing gym in Pecunia where his division trained new potential members. Suelo was the commander of Pala, and she trained her members in the art of being a marksman. Lately was Vastagos who was the commander of Trébol, and he ran his division from Respicias, out of a brothel where his members worked as accountants and temptresses. To gain new members, the four of them and Malu would host fight clubs to scout. But there were two other reasons for the fight clubs: names and information. Fight clubs brought big names which brought money and big crowds that, with a little influence, would talk like a parrot. 

"Where the heck is every-" Malum started to say before being grabbed by her shoulders. She immediately flipped the person and punched them in their stomach.

"No mames, Baya, you damn idiot.".

"¡Chale! Why do you always do this mi amor? You know not to pop up behind me like that."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Lo siento, amor, I-I-I was j-j-just so w-w-worried." 

Malum, like she usually did, kissed her once on the forehead and then on the lips before wrapping her arms around Baya. 

"Baya…Viento…but no Suelo or Vastago? Where the hell are they!"

Viento, knowing Malum well, spoke up before she could erupt, "Cálmate jefa, they're good. The vieja said she had some shit to do."

"And Vastago?"

Baya and Viento stayed quiet as they looked at each other and then at Malum.

She took a deep breath before asking again, "And…Vastago?"

"He should be fine, love,"

"Should be…híjole, what the fuck happened to him?"

"The guards lost us, but Suelo said overheard them cochinos saying go after the little one. We haven't heard from since,"

Malum shoved Baya off of her before walking away. She tried reaching out but Viento grabbed her wrist.

"B-but-”

"Let her go, she just needs to cool off." Viento said as he hugged a tearful Baya.

Malu's anger over the years had gotten worse. Most of the time she would calm herself by boxing. This time seemed different though as she grabbed her sweater and gun, then headed out. 

"You two, there's a fight tonight so get this place up and running. And watch out for that weird motherfucker who came through. No confío en ellos, huele a serpiente. I hate snakes." 

As time passed on, she made it over the mountains near Excitatur.

"Ha...ha...hahah...haha...every damn time...I lost Papa and Mama on the same night…I can't lose anymore. This shits killing me. Every damn time, why can't I just have a moment of peace? Whoever the hell's pulling the strings around here needs to stop."

As Malum punched the dirt many thoughts continued rumbling through her mind

In the city of Potestas, there was a powerful family; the Raddix Family. They were a powerful family with her mother having the third highest position in Excitatur's council, while her Ramus was the commander of its military. Aborica and Ramus had tried for months but couldn't have a child. One night their doorbell rang and much to their surprise a child was on the doorstep in a basket. There was also a note that said: 

"Please take care of my child, I can't let her be taken by those monsters."

The then-young-couple was confused by the note, but also delighted at the thought of having a child. 

With Aborica being in such an important position, Ramus decided to take some time away from his position, leaving his vice commander in charge. 

"Hahaha, I never thought this whole parenting thing would be so difficult." Said Ramus as Malu ran around the house with her shorts on her head.

"Teehee, you would think a commander would be able to get a three-year-old." Giggled the housemaid. "By the way, I'm going to town for a while to grab a few things. I'll be back later on, so try not to burn the house down." 

"Ah, gotcha manzana pequeña! Who's Papa's little princess?"

"Look at the loves of my life, calienta mi corazón, I'm so happy to be home." Said Aborica as she gave her husband and daughter kisses.

Ramus handed Malum off to Aborica as he went to prepare dinner. 

"Mi bombón oh how I've missed you so much," Aborica said as she pressed her cheeks against Malum's "Oh my, your hair is getting even greener. Have you been sneaking more apples? Mijita, they already turned your hair from red to green, soon your skin will as well!" 

As the three sat down and enjoyed their meal together, Ramus was about to start talking when he got a phone call. His happy expression turned into shock as he delivered the news to his wife that Aidia had attacked Excitatur. 

"Aidia??? I thought things had calmed between us my love…"

"I told them we couldn't trust The Snake King, he's always been this way! One minute he's working with someone and the next they get stabbed in the back!" Ramus exclaimed as he slammed his fist on the counter.

"I know how much this hurts you. What'll happen to your friend over there? Isn't he still captured?"

"Si…mi compa…I'm leaving. I will burn that devilish state down myself if I have too! And I'll save him as well!"

"D-Do you really have to leave, mi amor? M-Maybe it's better if we let the rest of the military handle it."

"I am a man of Excitatur and the commander of its military, sería deshonroso por mi parte no estar con mis hombres," Ramus said as he gave his wife a hug and kiss, then his daughter as well. 

"Diosas por favor protéjanlo." Aborica prayed to herself as tears wept down her face.

Malu looked on as her father left and her mother continued to cry. She tried hugging her mom but for the first time, she nudged her away and went off to her room. This day was forever scarred in Malu's mind. Her father would go on to be betrayed by his country, as his men captured and fed him to Aidia. There, they broadcasted him being slowly and brutally slaughtered for the entirety of Excitatur to see. 

"Break the fingers!" A man ordered with a devilish smirk on his face.

"Yes sir Chief Brute!"

"Cut the fingers!"

"Break the hands!"

"Cut the hands!"

"Break the feet!"

"Cut the feet!"

"Don't forget oil! We'll set his body ablaze!" Yelled a lady licking her lips.

"Yes ma'am Chief Marina!"

As the men poured oil on Ramus, they began lighting their matches.

Ramus cursed Excitatur, "You will regret the day you turned your back on the goddess and betrayed your own people! You're all monsters! Every last one of you! I promise you will suffer for this one hundred thousand deaths!" 

Soon hundreds of matches covered his body and it blew up in flames. Ramus screams echoed through the streets of Aidia and Excitatur.

"How…how could you let this happen…dear Eirini please rid of us this evil…please…" a man cried from his cell. 

As Aborica sat there the horrific scene replayed through her mind over and over again. She continuously cursed Eirini's name and cried for her husband. Malum began to cry as well as she sat outside of her mother's room, hearing her father but not knowing what was happening.

"Mommy! Por favor mommy!" She cried out.

A loud thud followed and she could no longer hear her mother or father. A few days later she was sent to an orphanage where she would eventually learn the truths of not only that horrifying night, but the day after. At her young age she didn't know, but as she grew older Malu would find out her mother's head was placed atop her father's grave with the words guilty written across. As she learned more and more about how disgusting Excitatur was, her soul grew more and more black. She had but one thing on her mind and that was to find out who betrayed her father and who desecrated her mother's grave. 

"I wish I could've left you in a better situation. All the pain you had to endure at such a young age..." a voice wept.

"Eh? Mama? Is that you?"

"Hahaha, you're such a crybaby. Grow up, we all had it hard. Heck I had my entire country ripped away from me, but you don't see me going around crying."

"Who the-" Malum called out before an arrow nicked her shoulder, "Una flecha? Who the hell still uses arrows to shoot at someone???"

"Ah, ah, ah, I'd watch my head if I was you." The lady snickered as she flicked her finger causing the arrow to fly towards Malu. 

"Brujería? I didn't know witches were still around." 

The mysterious lady yawned before thinking to herself, "ugh I grow bored of this…it's only been five minutes and she's already tired. If only he were here this would be more fun. Oh well, guess I'll make my exit for now." 

A cloud of pink smoke appeared the her and with that she vanished into the night. 

"Was that…one of those cochinos from the PPF??? No, It couldn't have been…those idiots they don't have arrows. And why did it…smell like Almendra? Whatever I need to go check on Vastago and make sure he's alright."
