Schoolyard Execution

With various cells and holdings all across the globe, Aku Corp often find themselves dealing with municipal gangs, whose loyalty is questionable and ulterior motives unknown. Corruption runs deep within these groups, most notoriously inside the Black Lotus, an organization whose reign boasts a sizeable portion of downtown Tokyo. It's use of various businesses as launderers and fronts for black market deals has grown exponentially, catching the eye of local Aku officers.

According to inside sources, the Black Lotus were looking to expand their minature mafia empire, which could most certainly challenge the interests of Aku. Naturally, they sought to eliminate this thorn in their side before it grew into a bushel that could no longer be sheared so easily. The chaos of this new era is far too great to afford any avoidable losses, so therefore the bug is set be squashed under the boot of domination. Power must be asserted, or will otherwise be taken possession of.

With all the heads of the Black Lotus clan rounded up, a ray of eerie red sunlight peeks it's way through the morning smog. As the fog breaks and the sky is revealed, disheveled are each of the former crimelords, now mere shells of men. A small price to pay to avoid what could have been for the Aku Corporation. After all we must be cunning and ruthless in this cruel era; this new World In Darkness.

 

This is my entry into the world in darkness contest. The schoolyard depicted is that from a concept art piece of the movie Akira.
