Vivian and Zombie had arrived in Elephant City. It was a massive metropolis and could even be considered the size of a country.
However, the most popular thing about it was...crime.
It was considered the most dangerous city in the entire world. It was filled with gangs, thugs, robbers and even drug dealers. Graffiti was all over the place and there was almost no sign of police anywhere.
Vivian and Zombie were now in this horrifying place, not sure what would happen to them.
Zombie had a book with him, which had information about every criminal in the world, minor or major it didn't matter. This book, to no one's surprise, had information about Owen the clone.
And Zombie slowly flipped the pages until he saw the infamous name.
He then started to read it:
"Owen the clone. Age: 26. Known as the leader of the strongest gang in Elephant City and is rumored to have mysteries powers that can make him be able to shape shift into anything he wants. A person, an object or even the air itself," Zombie said, closing the book.
"Is that all?" Vivian asked, lighting up another cigarette.
"It seems so," Zombie said with a tired sigh.
"Let's just go around ask some people," Vivian said, looking around.
Zombie glanced at the thugs and the wasted people, saying, "not the smartest idea. Many people are associated with him. If they find out that we are searching for him, he might just disappear or even worse, fight and possibly kill us."
Vivian didn't look like she particularly cared. "Then? How are we supposed to track him down?"
"I have an idea," Zombie said.

Kael reached Elephant city, who paid the taxi driver and then proceeded to look around. "So this is it, huh? Looks interesting," said Kael with an excited smirk.
"The hell's frickin' Owen? Some random gang leader ain't doin' shit on me. In fact, I might as well rule over this place," Kael said to himself confidently, cracking his knuckles while walking on the footpath.
However, this was his crucial mistake. He said that out loud in front of a few gang members, one of them even grabbed Kael's neck and launched him into a dark alleyway with a powerful kick. "What the hell did this guy just say? He must be new around here. You don't say things like that around here, you know?"
Kael got up and wiped the blood off his mouth, he ran towards one of the gang members, who tried to punch Kael but Kael managed to dodge it and land a powerful uppercut, breaking his teeth in a single punch.
The other gang members shouted and cursed at him. And soon, they all attacked Kael at once. However, Kael immediately jumped and grabbed a vertical jump, using it to climb.
"You coward! Come back here and fight!" One of the gang members shouted, trying to throw a baseball bat at him, which almost hit Kael.
Kael smirked and yelled, "I ain't runnin' anywhere!" As soon as he said that, he jumped, which caused him to be right above the gang members.
Kael then proceeded to bombard the gang members with kicks from above and by the time that he reached the ground, they all were knocked out and in terrible condition.
Kael brushed off the dust from his shoulders and thought that he won but just then, a shovel hit his head and knocked him out. The last thing that he saw was a man dragging him somewhere.
--------------------------
Zombie was standing in a dark alleyway and leaned against the wall, only a few inches away from a red skull, which was painted on the wall. Soon, someone who was wearing a hoodie and a mask approached him. "Yo. What you need? Be quick, yo."
Zombie slowly nodded and grabbed his head, causing him to knock out and a book to appear. Zombie picked up the book and started to read it, realizing that this person wasn't associated with Owen the clone, he dropped it onto the floor and left the alleyway.
"How did it go?" Vivian asked.
"Not well," Zombie answered. "The person didn't have any useful information about him."
"I see. What exactly did you do? Why did that person approach you?" Vivian asked with a doubtful look.
"It's simple, really. Everyone knows that if you ever need drugs, you lean next to a red painted skull," Zombie said, explaining everything.
"Uhuh..." Vivian said with a suspicious look. "And how do you know that? What if you are some drug dealer that I don't know about it."
Zombie sighed, "Go bother someone else with your jokes. Not here, though."
Vivian slightly smiled and took out a cigarette box from her pocket. She took out one cigarette and was about to light it but just then, a man approached her. His hair was black and his face was...ugly to say the least. He also had a shovel with him and everyone looked everywhere except in his direction.
"Hey...lady. You got some nice...stuff down there, don't you? Being around here is quite dangerous, you know. You're basically asking for it," the man said, licking his lips.
Zombie slightly widened his eyes and was shocked. "This person is...Owen?! It's him! Wait. Wait. This might be a good opportunity. There are dozens of people here so I can't exactly knock him out here but if Vivian leads him to some private area, I can kill him without anyone seeing," Zombie thought. "Though, a part of me doesn't want that for some reason. Furthermore, this guy has some guts to approach her when I am right next to her."
Vivian looked slightly uncomfortable but looking at the slight expressions of Zombie, she knew what she had to do. "Y-You're cute...! Wanna talk somewhere private?" Vivian said with a fake smile, she was dying inside.
"Ooo! Quite bold! I like that," Owen said, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Follow me."
With that, Vivian and Owen disappeared, with Zombie still standing there. "Hm...I guess this was to be expected. Elephant city is known to be the worst place for women. If I was a woman, I would rather be in the rotting peninsula then this place. Oh well, I guess I should get going before I lose them."
