The atmosphere was deadly serious.
In their bid for the dazzling title of "security contractor," two major factions within Aizu City were at each other's throats.
The Chainsaw Angel Gang was the first to provoke, sending a large number of members to No. 1 Junction to issue a challenge, setting up barricades to stop the traffic.
The Katsuragi Gang also sent out 300 personal troops to confront the enemy at the other end of the passage. The members of the Katsuragi Gang were equipped haphazardly, brimming with morale. In contrast, the Chainsaw Angel Gang was uniformly equipped, formally dressed; compared to the ordinary gangs, they looked more like corporate emissaries dispatched to Aizu City.
"Go to hell!"
"Bastards!"
"Just you wait!"
"Come on over if you dare!"
The two groups insulted each other, with some gang members wearing prosthetic amplifiers capable of boosting their yells to over 100 decibels, causing splitting headaches and rumbling eardrums.
