Southside Chicago's streets were never quiet for long. Rumors of Bloodjaw spread like wildfire—kids were disappearing, thugs were being broken, and rival gangs whispered about a crimson-eyed predator.

The Gang Boss
The boss was enormous, a hulking man with steel chains wrapped around his forearms, scars covering every visible inch of skin. He smirked. "So you're Bloodjaw? Heard about you. Let's see if you're just another street rat."
Shaquille didn't respond. He crouched slightly, muscles coiled, pupils narrowed. His blood hissed in his veins.
The fight began.
Apex Predator in Action
Savage Raptor Strike: Shaquille leapt forward, claws ripping through the man's guard, hitting knees and elbows with preternatural precision. The boss staggered.
Bone Crusher: Elbow to the ribs, knee to the jaw. A sickening crunch. Shaquille grinned, a primal sound echoing through the empty lot.
Tyrant's Slam: The boss tried to counter, but Shaquille used his momentum to slam the man into the concrete, sending shards of asphalt flying.
Each strike made Shaquille feel less human. His body was no longer simply a tool—it was a weapon, a predator, a living beast.

Shaquille's gang watched in awe as their leader became something more than human. Each strike was jagged, unpredictable, and brutal. He moved like a prehistoric predator, tearing through the boss's defenses with a terrifying blend of speed and raw power.
Aftermath
The gang boss lay broken, unconscious, his chains twisted and shattered. Shaquille stood over him, chest heaving, crimson eyes glowing brighter.
He was stronger than before. Faster. Deadlier. And yet… a part of him still cared. The weak, the frightened—they depended on him.
The beast within had grown, but so had the predator's purpose.
Shaquille Jordan, Bloodjaw, was no longer just a man. He was a prehistoric predator stalking the urban jungle, and the streets of Southside Chicago would never be the same.
