The AM Times: Corleone-Commission War – Day One: DeMeo Escalation – Part II

The Angel Social Club, San Diego, California

“BOSS! BOSS! He’s dead! Those bastard Pavanno’s set him the fuck up! Shit man, I think it was the DeMeo, fuck man! He’s dead!”

Vincent raised his brow and his eyes had the barest of worry in them, if anything, it seemed that he expected some retaliation. Joe DeMeo had been gaining on them in recent weeks, his push into California had been noticed, of course, Diabolik and Ares had a few talks. With Diabolik saying that the two were close with a few of the families in the old country, that a move like that would not be approved on their side of the Mafia, yet in theirs, it was free reign.

“With the boss dead, it goes to Dite to clean this shit up….anyone gotten ahold of her at the compound?”

Vincent’s voice held something that a lot of his men did not know him for, worry. It was Ares that held the worry, surprisingly, out of three of them, he was the reason within the group at a time, sure he had his ambition and plans but he still wished to preserve the American Mafia and bring it up to heights unseen in terms of power and membership, maybe it was possible but this was showing the opposite…

“No, we assume that she and her men have gone into hiding or the DeMeo’s went for her too, in the event of an attack…Ares did say to charter a private jet and head to the Bahamas as quick as possible. Dite would have transferred said funds via federal bank.”

Vincent shook his head, pulling out his piece from under his desk as he slammed it on the table…No, this was not the time for that. Those asses think they could come into their neighborhood!? KILL THEIR BOSS!? And get away with it, laughing as if they struck a nice clean blow at the regime that was trying to rebuild shit? No, this was not the way for them…it was time for a bye-bye for the DeMeo’s….it was over for them.

With a calming smile, Vince decided to gather his best men…a few others would go out, searching for the remaining stragglers in what was undoubtedly a moment where the American Mafia would have to stand on its feet again…..

“It’s time….what information do we have on the DeMeo’s?”

And soon it flowed, they all knew what his plan was and they were on board, in their minds, the DeMeo’s had done the deed and this was something that no one could truly see coming…A war with the clan that had controlled California with an Iron Fist, Diabolik was nowhere to be found either….for once, Vincent did hope the man was safe.

“They own Antonio’s on 5th and Saint, they have a Casino a way’s out of the city but from there, it’s all commercial property. He has a nice little compound in Los Angeles though, he makes sure to visit every now and then, so does his wife. From what I hear, they’re having a little get together with a few of their close associates, nothing big like getting made but a celebration of some kind…that’s all I got though.”

To attack all of their spots at once, it would surely bring a lot of heat onto them, something that would bring them a lot of heat but it would end the DeMeo’s before they even know what was coming their way, with a soft nod, Vincent gave the okay and his moniker of being the ‘Destroyer of the DeMeo Family’ would be earned…..

Little did he know, the plots of one Vito Corleone was just beginning…..

The Commission Compound: Las Vegas, Nevada – 3:40 am

Sleeping in the joint rooms of her husband and herself, Aphrodite did find herself looking up at the ceiling. He had been gone for an unusual amount of time, he was on business, supposedly. She was worried, her guards were stationed around the place and would inform her of something. Yet all she would hear was the patrolling footsteps of her men walking back and forth around the compound.

And all too soon, her bedside phone rang and she calmly picked up the phone, noticing that it was Ares’ number calling, it was certainly something for her and what she said was terrifying, the pure and psychotic voice that came down the line was something out of a horror movie.

“Well Well! Goddess herself, Dite, it’s nice to hear you breathing again…I guess I’ll be changing that soon, you see, Ares is dead and soon enough, so will the remaining members of your bullshit regime. You think you can topple me!? ME!? I’m VITO BLOODY CORLEONE! I Make the rules and my rule is that you die with your husband this day, have a nice time….”

Aphrodite had little time to respond, Vito hung, leaving little time for her to even realize what he said, yet nothing else was needed as she soon noticed something….her curtains were open….what the fu-

And like a rainstorm, bullets fired upon the newest boss of the Commission, she ducked down, getting down quick enough to notice that her bed was already littered with holes and she found herself clutching at her pistol before crawling across the floor, opening the door and finding the guards, they each had ducked as well, she motioned for them to patrol, gather everything…it was time to evacuate for now.

She knew Vincent was somewhere, the man had been dealing with some business but with it only been them for a while, she would have to wait for some news on Ares, he was someone that was important to her but especially the future of the American Mafia and its control would/could not slip with what was happening here.

“Brutus! Hurry up and get here now!”

She was in a hurry and she knew whoever Vito had sent was not going to be coming back here, the men were on alert and they were on a war footing. Now was not the time for things to be kept on the down-low, now was the time for action.

Soon, her bodyguard rushed through, helping her up and getting her go-bag…The Cars were being pulled around, things like this were not something that had them running, no they understood their roles and it was too protect the new boss. They would think about Ares later, for right now, he was not the man that needed such protection, it was Dite.

“Call Valentine, get him updated, now is not the time for action….get a hold of him quickly, fuck knows what he might be doing right now…we need to make sure he’s protected as well…”

Little did Dite know, the Commander in Chief would begin his own bloodbath for that day, the slow and meaningful tearing down of the DeMeo Organization, the escalation had just begun!

The AM Times: Wrap-Up

Ladies and Gentlemen, next time we will have for you the Commission-Corleone War and the after-effects of what it brought, along with how it affected the American Mafia and brought about the Vit Corleone, shoot on sight rule. Currently, it is said that Vito Corleone may have done some good, he may have actually brought something to the community yet, those words are usually said by the crazies in the insane asylums like Joker!

So, Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s been Heather Polstern with the Vito Betrayal and I hope you come to enjoy this new format and the journals that we have received in a completely new way to establish the events and what led to the formation of the many things we see here today, keep your heads low and we will see you next!

Insanity had done it, he had made the life work for him, of course, not everything was good and fine. He had been dealing with some uptown Vegas punks and they decided to try and rob him, they didn’t get very far, in fact, they had been busted up and thrown onto the street, being left as a reminder of fucking up in his state or even, his home city, Vegas.

After that, he had taken a few calls, dealt with some things, and would meet up with a family head from one of the outside families. Apparently a family friend from Sicily, the Pavanno’s, they were thinking of branching out and getting his blessing, something that was on his mind, they were old-timers but recently, they had fallen on some hard times and wanted to bring their name to mean something again.

He agreed to meet ’em for a dinner meet up at Tony’s Steakhouse, as he stepped out of the car that night, he was immediately fired upon, multiple rounds of an M203, his driver burned rubber and made sure to lose the fucks. Hoping to give his boss some time to get back to the HQ before something really bad happened, yet there was a roadblock…

Multiple gunmen, got out from the alleyways and from behind the roadblock, backing up…the driver was fired upon and his head fell forward, the honk sending out a warning for all civilians to rush and duck to their homes immediately…

Sending a quick prayer to his beloved, Ares/Insanity had stepped out of the car….first bringing out his .44 and killing a few of these rookies, he was not going to make the thing he was some dog, he was not an easy kill for some mustache Pete Bastardo! With a roar, he continued cleaning house until…he well lost all of it and twenty bodies littered the ground…..

“VITO! You fuck, get out here, I know you set this up, come on and greet you Jared Leto Joker!”

And so the mastermind stepped out from the shadows, he didn’t even look like a young Marlon brando…he just looked fucked, his chair messy and unkempt, his eyes wild and somehow focused, yet the intent behind them…it was clear that he was not going to be looking for some peace, he wanted war and Insanity was the first on his list.

One-Shot…Two Shots…Three Shots…and he was still standing, Ares looked down at the holes in his body, the blood pooling and soaking his white shite, almost turning it into a blood-red wine shirt and his eyes soon became focused as a rage-filled him, tackling
Vito to the ground with the intent of murder!

And punches were flown, some landed and others did not, yet all the remained was the blood and roars of the men fighting in the streets before Vito could put Ares out of his misery, the God of War had reached for his piece, almost firing, only to try and reload and that was it……

A squelch and a groan of pain from Ares as he looked up into the eyes of Vito, his would-be murderer, the bastard really was trying this….he was sending a message that he was back…

“Fuck…..You!”

And like that, darkness swallowed the God of War…

Sometime between August 11th – 21st

“So you called me and I arrive, you tell me that he’s back and yet you went to visit him in The Bahamas or was it Guam? Tell me, Ares, what the fuck were you thinking?”

A glass of bourbon in hand and a sly smile playing at his lips, the Olympian boss had to make sure that he played this right. Royce Gambino was more or less, a man who was recognized for his prowess as the leading the highest killing regime in the American Mafia, Murder Inc, supposedly, murdering over a hundred thousand people, rumour has it that Royce has killed half or more of those targets, bodies yet to be found as well may add to such a tally…

“I don’t know, I gave him a chance, like you, I wanted to see if this man could do what was right for once. He set up his own goddamn crew, He gave me his word, and now it seems like it is headed down a path for fuckery….Tell me, Roy, what am I to do?”

The head of Murder Inc gave him a smirk, shrugging his shoulders as if to say ‘build and let him handle it’ but that didn’t make him any better, Roy, at times was a hard man to get ahold of. He didn’t want to test that reliability when it came down to a bullet in his chest or head, either was bad enough for the young Don.

“You build this country up, I have New York as my territory. Take Nevada, you seem to love it there you fuckin’ pest. Don’t worry, it’ll all be good and if you need help, I’ll be sure to send ya to the best doctors in the country. Make sure that the coma you’ll be in is nothing more than just that.”

Chuckling, Ares raised his glass towards the Murder Inc boss as he had no clue what would be coming for him tomorrow, well…it was surely going to be something as it was the day that Vito would strike out and attack him and ORagnar…

Sometime between August 11th – 21st

It was established, Vito Corleone was in all words a rogue element and a man out for anarchy. None supported this more and called for his death then Diabolik, a man who, like Ares/Insanity, sought to bring about the renaissance and unlike many of the other advisors of Insanity, he was not someone who was looking to bring Vito in on such a plan, in fact, it was only two days after Vito’s public return to the world that he would find himself in the compound of The Olympians, sitting in the parlor discussing it with Ares, Aphrodite, and Vincent.

“He is a fucking psychopath! HAVE you seen the way he talks Ares!? He is not someone who could talk to a three-year-old, let alone a fucking boss….this cannot happen and I won’t let it, either he dies or we all do! SHIT! Even Ric, you remember him right, don’t you!? You remember the discussions Jiggy had right!? He was there, you read his journal and you want this little rat sitting with us at the table!?”

Ares sat there, he took the abuse as he watched the boss of La Stidda speak with his bodyguards backing him and he knew the man was fearful, pissed, and crazed. Everyone was, Vito had been in a coma for five times, supposedly the doctor’s were not meant to keep trying to get the person back to the land of the living. Yet here they stood, it was surprising, to say the least.

“Bol, listen to me. Vito Corleone is not a threat, I spoke to Royce Gambino…I spoke to Gunnz, I contacted Tropiana. I called in a lot of old favors, he is not getting past us at all! Even if I die brother and my wife here has to stand in my place, the Olympians will not fall. And Vito will not be the one to bring us down, I am rebuilding this society from the ground up and the one thing that is going to stop me is if another regime comes in to kill me itself!”

Ares roared back at the American Mafia Legend, the reports had said that tension was high between the two and the trust with Vito had caused a slight break in their established alliance that had been building steadily within the last few days. Yet here they were now, arguing over life and death with the head of the Olympians opting to keep the terror alive, for now.

Sometime between August 11th – 21st

Vito Corleone had returned back to the American Mafia via a relative of his and it soon became less of a problem to the then leader, Ares who would soon change his name to Insanity. It was something that no one really expected and it had the ally, Diabolik scrambling ready to fire shots at the ‘Opposition’ and while Insanity had understood the man’s reputation like Royce Gambino had tried to do, he gave the man a chance.

Something that is said to be a dead-on bad choice. It was clear soon enough down the line, Vito wished for anarchy, he wished for the tumbleweed era that had been there before and he wished to rule over the dead. It was something that Insanity knew not, he kept to his businesses and established himself as the next head of this little thing of theirs. He had no time to worry about the pest of a man that had finally gotten out of his coma.

Vito Corleone had soon spoken with the regime head, Insanity. Establishing that he wished to work with him, discuss business, and soon become allies that would bring the American Mafia to a new front, a better front for all parties involved. And Insanity was down for it, raising a glass in cheers to the man and patting him on the back.

“Aphrodite,” The then god of war would call, looking over to his wife and asking her over to introduce the love of his life and woman of his desires to meet their newest ally. She walked over with a calming grace, her eyes meeting Vito and for a moment, she stopped, leaning forward to delicately shake his hand at the time.

She would whisper in her beloved ear and he nodded, smiling all the same as if it was a private thing between lovers. Yet the conversation was not that, Ares kept up the facade and nodded as he would turn to his Warlord, Vincent Valentine, and gesture for him to keep an eye on Vito.

With that, Ares had established himself a great ally on the surface obviously. He kept all his smiles to himself, yet the way Aphrodite clung to him the rest of the night, their hands seemingly itching for their pieces as they kept themselves occupied with speaking with the other guests of the party, it was clear that their trust in the Old Godfather was gone, Vito Corleone was being watched and by all of ‘The Olympians’

In recent moments, there has been a slight increase in the meetings between Spaceman and his allied partners, those being men like Diabolik, Geralt, and Royce Gambino, it is suggested that these men might just make up the new regime of the American Mafia. With an apparent head being the medical Director himself, Spaceman. It is not stated that such a group has formed again after years of inactivity and lawlessness in the land of the American Mafia.

Yet the rumors cannot be denied, are Spaceman and Co looking to cement themselves as a new regime in the American Mafia? It is said that his family, known simply as ‘The Commission’ has had a recent growth spurt in membership, especially in the loudmouth known as a Jiren, a man that was served with a cease and desist by the FBI and CIA, telling him to refuse with his actions of badmouthing their hard work.

Others are seen in the form of Jack_Ruby and Frank_Carter, maybe this is something good for the American Mafia to see and use, to make sure that the new world they are building is seen loud and proud. It is not something that can be denied. The growth and desire of power from many of the former mobsters and possibly deceased relatives of former regime heads may have a few heads circling and it is going to be a wondrous time to see if Spaceman, Royce, Diabolik, or anyone else may just react to such news of this.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I suggest keeping your heads low and wear a mask you asses! We all need to keep safe during these times, have a drink at your local pub or perhaps, stay at home waiting for your next dose of the AM Times, it will be a full-packed night of things that we have planned to show you here tonight.

In recent weeks, we’ve seen the shift, it is usually split, West Coast, and East Coast. The difference is shown and we have seen that in The Outfit, and then we saw it in some other regimes as well. The Bigger fish, the bigger men were supposedly in control of these states, yet something else has happened here. Something….much more central, with the controlling power being the commission, someone would think they would take a few states that they would stick themselves to a few spots only.

Yet that is not the case, they have taken over, quite dominantly as well. They are seen to be taken over and this has been seen in their moves, the ways they move about the board, and how they have now continued to bring in some soldiers from former families. It seems to be a play for something here but nothing has been seen on the streets and with the only conflict being of worthy note is the Corleone-Olympian War, it is said that peace is quite rightly back on their minds.

With the recent leave of Jaskier, Spaceman is seemingly performing well in his duties but now one thing remains, once he has enough members within The Commission it is said that his plans are changing greatly with giving a little more leeway to his chairmen, Wishing them to begin a little family of their own, in their own cities and have something to build off of that.

Spaceman is said to be issuing a new building for The AM Times, being its current Editor In Chief after approaching Shadow’s reps for a meeting about having a new and fresh look for the news company.

So, Ladies and Gentlemen, that is all the time we have today and we hope you find a little hope in the new regime known as ‘The Commission’

Leo Spaceman or commonly known as Spaceman is said to be the current head of The Commission, there seems to be a lot of conflicting reporters, some stating that Taiga and a ruling panel of Chairmen rule the regime that has taken the American Mafia by storm…especially after the conflict with Vito Corleone who assaulted and led….a somewhat stupid and then some assault on the ideas and rebuild of the American Mafia Commission.

It is said now that Leo is currently in talks with Benny Noodles, Royce Gambino, and Gunnz Lucchese. He is trying to bring each of the heads back to the ways of the American Mafia and trying his best to bring about a new and powerful regime that does it’s best to try and support the new and upcoming mobsters with little problems. It is said that Benny Noodles, wherever he is currently located is thinking on it, according to his representative who was seen outside the offices of Spaceman.

Royce Gambino and Gunnz Lucchese are said to have already discussed such matters with the man himself, he has their support and already they are seeing such fruit return for their labor. Within a few months, it is said that Spaceman has some plans to split up the various states that The Commission has secretly acquired over the last few months.

With the current guidance of Spaceman, it is said that the American Mafia may be on course to a brand new and golden age. Reminiscent of the Michael Corleone era, a bold claim but one that he seems determined to see through, no matter what he may suffer or have to go through to achieve such a powerful collective of soldiers, chairmen, and heads.

– Heather Polstern, Special Reporter for the AM Times.

Jaskier is said to have finally stepped down, believing himself unsuited to the position that he was given within The Commission. Already holding such meetings, his beliefs are not unfounded, a bard in the rumored ruling mafia family? That is something that never be expected and yet here we are today ladies and gentlemen.

In his place, Leo Spaceman, going by Spaceman in the Underworld has stepped up as the new ‘Director’ of The Commission and he is ready to lead and it is said that the eccentric man is somewhat…different to the mobsters of today and his position allows him to be someone completely different in the new society that he finds himself thrust in.

His beliefs as a so-called medical professional have him in a position that not many in the medical profession would find themselves in and yet here he is, leading the group known as The Commission and becoming a pseudo ‘Godfather’ and perhaps permanently a figure in the underworld for years to come.

With his position as Director secured, he is said to have the backing of Taiga, Vincent Valentine, and the chairmen. Of course with these many changes, it is said that they have come to expect the revolving door on the position. It is said that bets are already taking place on the next Director of this little group.

I, myself have two million dollars on Spaceman being ousted or found on a street corner begging for some meth in a few months…who am I kidding!? I give him six days at best.

– Heather Polstern, Special Reporter for the AM Times

In the recent days, we have seen The Commission go through some changes with the Speed Demon, Zoom. Traveling elsewhere into another…earth it seems and coming out with Geralt of Rivia, the man who would soon come to be known as the new leader of the Hitsquad for The Commission.

Jaskier has stepped back into the states and has held meetings with his chairmen, Vice President, and Commander in Chief. It is said that the hits from Gerard are slowly lighting up but are expecting are bigger hit soon enough.

In other news, associates of Gerard are returning to the world and in big news, it seems that the Pavanno Family, the Sicilian bosses are considering coming to these shores. In new times considering certain things, stating that they had fled elsewhere considering threats on their person.

Jaskier in recent days is said to be announcing something soon, a departure from this way of life. He has seen into the bellies of many men this week. He knows that he cannot continue on with what he has been planning to do and so he is ready to apparently hang up his impressive lute and mind for business.

More in this story soon enough, in other news, his great friend and loyal associate, Doctor Leo Spaceman. A man who does not have the best reputation with the law in any capacity it seems but it is said that he may be the man to handle Gerard and his man.

More on this story later as it develops…
