4-1: The Cobra Gang
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndhcACqD8I
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk8huNkDzj
Two young women in matching pink leather jackets strolled along the sidewalk toward their apartment.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvHXQpmxkF
It was the same street they had walked earlier in the evening—when they beat up four local thugs.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZLOJz60fL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbm3wJY1Ka
They were Rani and Rina.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjfaAw3JdF
Rani: "Rina, look up ahead."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMexrOhndkG
Rina lifted her gaze toward where Rani was pointing.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx9VA8zZIW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4buwETYwuh
Some held wooden clubs or empty beer bottles. Their stance looked suspicious.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH9aTAhwVC
Rina: "What do you think they want?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRlEAlgOCx
Rani: "They're waiting for us."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtf30b04Ra
Rina: "What do you mean?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQamvaTiveb
Rani: "See that guy over there? The one who ran away when we took down his three friends earlier?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AEV7ejH9O
Rina: "Misno."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp01L2N8YL
Rani: "Exactly."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3MiV54BYK
They exchanged a glance.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo97TPf0RO2
Rina: "Are you scared, Rani?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHmFocOjhz
Rani: "Are you scared, Rina?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoShkeOPnT8
They both smirked, then laughed lightly. Without the slightest hint of fear, they continued walking toward the apartment.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg6yIeuIFT
Their fingers brushed the inside of their jackets, where small, lightweight, razor-sharp knives were tucked away.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZudIOaDMgt
In the distance, Misno—the only one who had escaped the earlier brawl—watched them tensely.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXrd8tJdqR
Misno: "That's them! They're the ones who smashed Misnan, Martoyo, and Gendon!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSupVogzMk
The other eleven turned their heads toward the twins.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIU5ouaQjL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4R11cc0He
He gripped a heavy wooden club. His name was Darko.

4-2 Beating the Thugs
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5kTZX0EE2
Darko: "So you're the ones who smacked Gendon and tossed Martoyo around."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aujVf66rP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2skRwLKjk0
Despite his size, his expression was fierce. His name was Kodir.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzvum51yqM
Kodir: "And the ones who twisted Misnan's arm!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh58Nqtcn8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9ykrkdu2j
Kariman: "Wow, they're gorgeous! Forget choosing, I'll just take one of them!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jrIO3cYBe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5kMDyDsG1
Glegh!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4l3Ld84YH
Wooden clubs and empty beer bottles glinted in their hands.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgD0CspbOJ
The twins stayed indifferent.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8nBLZMvty
Darko: "How dare you beat up my boys!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XRFoXVH9f
Kodir: "Let's just smash them now, Ko!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1HgShhFV9
Kariman: "Don't be too rough, Dir."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCihy4IgYU
Kodir: "Ha! You've got a crush, huh, Man? Always defending them!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8XjrKVr9L
Kariman grinned sheepishly.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyivDcNV64j
Darko: "You're going to pay for this!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PFAB0qzsI
Kodir: "Serve us!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyh9Rdswq2
Darko: "Or we'll turn you into perkedel—Indonesian fried potato patties!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEpiVeSHnW
The twins still didn't flinch.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN0sJLSbJz
Kariman: "Better be my girlfriend instead—beats becoming perkedel, right?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkeMbJV9sA
The others chuckled or stayed silent.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NYhhyDplc
But Misno? Still staring. Still swallowing.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2fvoPswo6
Glegh!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLW7ElVpfi
Darko, gripping the empty beer bottle, finally began to lose his patience.

4-3 Beating the Thugs – Part 2
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5AQZW6Bmq
Darko: "Surrender now—voluntarily."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRYmipcNUs
Rani and Rina stayed indifferent but alert. Both shifted into a fighting stance.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgxq1T5EjP
Kodir, already out of patience after being ignored for so long, stepped toward them and raised his wooden club.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDdaoEzxJV
Kariman, still smitten, stayed where he was.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxAPtZzXzF
Misno swallowed hard, eyes wide, already picturing the twins turning into perkedel—Indonesian fried potato patties.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0yyL34Zup
The rest of the gang began to advance as well.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie7AeTbxKp
The short Kodir swung his club at Rani, clearly aiming to knock her down with a single blow.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoaDCHJy3q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7wvVdYapb
Smack! Slap! Smack! Slap!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv11g4QFCUc
Kodir: "Ouch! Mercy!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZo0xjygae
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ94PyDFwQF
Darko's eyes widened as he glanced at the groaning Kodir.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiPTq8MpaZ
Kariman froze. Lucky for him, he hadn't rushed in.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFuEGvsEWq
Misno stared harder, swallowing again and again.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDx5GdyJ6O
The rest of the gang, seeing Kodir's puffy cheeks, grew angrier.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Hdioksnp
Misno, remembering how Gendon had been taken down earlier, suddenly lost his nerve again.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOC7BZhtD9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIPcjjLNPN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwkoqkrs4w
Darko: "Today, the hospital's waiting for you!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRZ59up3Wt
This time, Rina stepped forward to face him.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaaBFQ2n0J
Several swings of the beer bottle were easily dodged.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA42dalRgz
It didn't take long. Rina moved like lightning—her upward kick connecting with Darko's jaw.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASTlAJxSd9
Thump!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrFjRFU4nJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHNCRDxbI0
The beer bottle rolled away into the dark.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMZ4SNAa0F
Misno's eyes bulged so far they looked ready to pop out. Kariman quietly stepped back toward him.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvekwzKN1n
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tZyuQrxfS
They clearly intended to leave the twins battered and bruised.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtvPrmj9L0
Rani: "What do you think?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mScZwZAbs
Rina: "I'm thinking the same as you."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvLCHX9kR7
Rani and Rina reached inside their pink jackets, pulled out small knives, and slid them between their fingers.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW8Gx940I5
They were ready to throw.

4-5: Flying Knives vs. The Thugs
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPobZI1bXAS
The thugs surrounding Rani and Rina kept pressing forward, shouting nonsense.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaNwZEL5xr
Thug 1: "Finish these women!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyWwrXLYPM
Thug 2: "Let's make perkedel out of them!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lN3W5eJZS
Thug 3: "No—make them ikan pepes!" (Indonesian grilled fish in banana leaves)
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wr6V5ygjh
Thug 4: "Let's beat them up together!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsI9HtbPQ3
Their noisy shouts filled the night air.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaHtmPuLh6
Off to the side, Kariman and Misno exchanged glances—their courage had completely evaporated.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyBODanlcG
Meanwhile, Rani and Rina only smiled faintly.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmCe1yY4VC
The moment the gang moved in, the twins' knives flew.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ZFRuv6tf
Their matched set of throwing knives shot forward.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qq7DS64Ef
Rani leaped upward, aiming for anything from the neck up.
Rina stayed low, aiming from the waist down.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgDhF9iirQ
Swish!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHDH8ZYjEy
Swish!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Km9cy4Pa
Knives whirled through the air in all directions.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6DQrlhTFQ
"Ow! My cheek got nicked!"
"Ow! My leg!"
"Ow! My head!"
"Ow! My hand!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nTKFA271m
Cries of pain erupted everywhere.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebkQx5eYKh
The thugs stumbled, clutching bleeding cuts from the twin sisters' blades.

4-6: Misno Runs Away – Part 2
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PGhIQfOTd
In the middle of the chaos, Kariman and Misno locked eyes again.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4EUL0lJEL
Kariman: "No…"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgkjnc2rgw
Misno: "Man…"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bxmqDU4t7
Their courage was gone, their faces pale as paper.
Hands and knees shook uncontrollably.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8xxtiCgJa
Misno swallowed hard, eyes wide, searching for Kariman.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIvCkIY40w
Misno: "Where are you, Man?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSevPY8Zb6j
He looked around—Kariman was nowhere in sight.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW0RArbjFC
Turns out Kariman had already bolted from the scene!
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXJRO8yJ9C
Misno let out a pitiful, weak shout:
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzDIb5QPaB
Misno: "Don't leave me, Man!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IsN5wPI3U
Without another thought, Misno took off at full speed, chasing after Kariman.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYMysAWVEQ
Meanwhile, Rani glanced at the thugs still standing.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdumiEceCw9
Rani: "Anyone still want perkedel?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSsYsV8g1g
Rina: "Or maybe ikan pepes?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0Ez14jQM5
The thugs hunched over in pain, eyes full of fear and panic.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAAwSE2y5G
Fortunately for them, Rani and Rina were only toying around—they never intended to kill.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCJdkUQ8QM
Without sparing the wounded thugs another glance, the twins strolled casually toward the apartment gate.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNikvprWmH
They smiled faintly.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl9bACNotS
Then burst out laughing.
