League of Shadows Strikes Again

It was known throughout the mafia world that Alexandro Benedetto joined the Noodles Family with the purpose of spying on them, according to Mr Benny Noodles he even confessed to being a spy after being in the family for a long time. After realizing that Noodles wasn’t planning anything bad and he had enough strength and experience Alex decided to leave the Noodles family and join his real family Corleones. Benny being old friends with Alex’s parents decided to let this one go and he let Alex walk away from the family alive. For Bane on the other hand this was a sign of disrespect and betrayal, even when it wasn’t his family, now that Benny belonged to The League of Shadows Bane wanted to make his point go across the United States: Rats were not allowed in any family.

 

Bane planned the hit for about a week, he knew it would most likely mean war but he was ready for it. Once everything was set up he located Alex, who was gambling and partying at a casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bane knew this was an easy target, Alex was eating and drinking heavily and since it was daylight and they were all in a casino he didn’t have too many bodyguards with him. Bane bribed some staff members working in the casino so that his enforcers could put C4 Charges in the bathroom, one in the entrance and one inside the bathroom, just to make sure. Now it was only a matter of time until Alex came to the restroom after drinking so much. Once Alex entered he heard a beep, not knowing what it was he just ignored it, after a couple seconds the explosives blew up, leaving almost nothing left of Alex and even killing a couple bodyguards waiting for him outside.

 

For Bane this was over, one rat down and the message was sent, but for Angel of Death this was a war declaration, 2 hours later and Angel was personally in Nevada looking for the killer, since it was a bomb rather than a person there were no witnesses of the hit, the FBI was investigating in the scene when Angel arrived, he bought the entire FBI Unit to get information on the case, turns out there was a note inside a metal box with a paper that said “You rat, you die”
Angel knew that this was no ordinary job, someone who was an expert at this planned the hit. So he ordered all his associates to look around for anything that could lead to the responsible.

 

One hour later, he got some info from his guys saying that a heavily armored limo was seen earlier guarded by an entire army with stickers on their trucks that read “L.O.S” heading towards a golf field and a huge mansion. This could only be one person: Bane.
Connecting the dots wasn’t hard, one of his most trusted members was dead, not killed by a normal assassin but rather blown up, and at the same time one of the most feared people in the US was also in town.

 

Both Angel and Bane were not in their home turf, Angel knew that this was both an advantage and a disadvantage because neither had all their people with them. Burning with revenge Angel assembled an army of Thugs and some of his people to go and attack, among them were some notorious Corleone leaders like Carmine Genovese, Kalina Corleone Johnny Vegas and some others. Angel’s plan was to invade Bane at his new mansion, it was an open field because of the golf field so it was gonna be hard to strike without being noticed. To solve this problem he decided that using helicopters was the fastest way to get in, this was going to be a hit-and-run mission, fast and easy. With the help of some contacts in the military he rented some helicopters to carry all his guys at once, being the Kingpin of the East had this advantage for him here. Feeling confident about this attack, Angel thought that sending a full scale attack was more than enough to finish off Bane, even tho the entire building was well guarded he thought it was no match for their high caliber guns.

 

Once everyone landed on the golf course they rushed in, killing all the guards. Once they were in the search for their target began, Angel was getting reports back to HQ that the mansion was empty and that maybe the target had escaped. Frustrated, Angel ordered everyone to return, they would find a way to take care of this later on, a few seconds after that the phone rang. It was a public phone number so he knew something was up, but he answered either way.

 

-Phone: Hello Angel. I received your guests, I didn’t know I was gonna have a surprise party, but they are welcome aboard!
-Angel: What the hell, Bane?
-Bane: Of course.
-Angel: Where are you?
-Bane: Right now I should be the least of your worries.
-Angel: What are you talking about?
-Bane: Take a look at your people.

 

*Angel turns around and hears everyone reporting that the mansion’s doors and windows are closing with thick metal bars. Without saying a word he turns around back to the phone*

 

-Bane: So my guests are staying for the party after all huh?
-Angel: What.. What have you done?
-Bane: Nothing really, I just hope your people enjoy the fireworks.
-Angel: Fireworks??
-Bane: *Hangs up*

 

*Angel turns around and listens to the reports, people are panicking saying they see jets incoming.*

 

The jets start bombing the mansion, turns out Bane wasn’t there after all and this was all set up as a trap, they were all trapped like rats in cages, not even able to cover themselves because each missile blows up entire rooms. There isn’t a single survivor left at the end, and the bodies are unrecognizable. Angel feels devastated for this because he knows he is the one responsible for sending all of them there in the first place.

 

*Phone rings again*

-Bane: I hope you enjoyed the show. At least I did.

-Angel: You motherfucker! I will kill you I swear to God I will kill you!!
-Bane: Good, I’ll be waiting
*Hangs up*

 

The following day Angel is wasted after spending the night drinking. Real-Corleone lands in Nevada and finds out about everything that happened, he then contacts Angel and tells him that this needs to be fixed, or they would end up with no family like last time. They both agree that they should talk to Bane and come to a peace agreement even after all the losses they have suffered. They have no way on contacting Bane so they have to wait for the call, a couple hours later the phone finally rings.

 

-Angel: So what do you want? Money? Power? What?
-Bane: I want you and Really to surrender or join the League of Shadows. Simple as that.
-Angel: No way in hell that is going to happen.
-Bane: Up to you. Live or die, make your choice.
-Angel: I know what you will do if we live, but me and my partner came to the conclusion that we will give up, but on our own terms, congratulations you’ve won, we will disban our families and transfer them to Fratesi. That way you won’t be able to kill them because they won’t be Corleones anymore and we will retire. I could kill you in a week if I wanted but I am just too tired and it’s time for a break.
-Bane: You chose your path.
*Call ends*

 

And this is how the war ended according to Angel and Really, or at least that’s what they thought. Corleones suffered huge losses while The League of Shadows didn’t lose a single member. With this they showed that they meant business and they were here to stay. America has seen enough dead bodies for now, will the fighting finally stop? Or will moving the members just prolong their deaths? Stay tuned to find out. ‘Till next time!
