Aphmau smacked her red lips as she prepared to take on Lucinda's part in the daily entertainment at the club. When Lucinda swore to leave the club forever, Aphmau never thought she would be serious. Her admirers left with her, leaving Ivy and Kim behind to spy on Aphmau. She didn't mind though, as a coward, Lucinda left messages for the two to give to Aphmau, the rivalries boiling in both of their bloods each day it proceeded.

"Look Garroth, I may not be her but I can sure cover for her. Trust me, once she gains her low IQ back, she'll know that i'm the rightful leader of the mafia." Aphmau pestered a childhood friend. He had always been a tough guy with a soft heart. His sappy sentimental doings were not for Aphmau though. Many think he still loves her, but alike the floaters, they were disregarded and ignored. Anyways, Garroth proceeded to change the background and lighting to fit Aphmau's liking, finding Lucinda's and Aphmau's taste very different.

Meanwhile, Lucinda's anger and rage towards Aphmau started to escalate. She planned to make more rude rumors and such to ruin Aphmau's reputation, but the argument ran more deeper than they both thought it was. Lucinda had questioned Aphmau's leadership since the beginning. She ranted the problems to her boyfriend, Ivan. "I could do so much better than her! I can make the best mafia in history compared to hers!" She scoffed. Ivan nodded in assurance, grateful that Lucinda finally left the MyStreet Mafia. He was convinced that they could make a new one though.

"Honey, maybe you could start your own. Grow your own and defeat hers. boom." He made a little, "whoosh" noise. Lucinda giggled, twirling her hair. "Of course.. I know I have followers in her mafia though.. We'd outnumber her! Great idea Ivan!" She kissed his cheek, a wide grin on her face. Could she bring a new change? That was when she opened the Maid-Cafe. This would be the start of a new era of mafia.

"Let's spread the news, shall we?"

After concluding her performance, she was bombarded with many questions regarding Lucinda. It disgusted her that so many people cared for her. It made her feel jealously, pity for those who fell for her faulty exterior. "The woman opposed my leadership and stormed out of the place. I do not kid when I tell you I thought she would've come back by now." Aphmau sipped on a glass of alcohol, sighing in content. "It is Lucinda's choice to come back. Did you get that, Ivy and Kim?" The two looked up from their wine, sharing the same monotone stare.

"See? Why don't you give her a message-."

"No, why don't WE share a message."

Lucinda entered, wearing the red dress and red heels. She looked stunning, unlike any other night. She strode straight for the stage, passing by Aphmau with not even a glance, making her teeth clench. Listen up, my great admirers!" Lucinda winked at someone in particular, her new hired body guard. He had hair slicked over his forehead on the left side with dark red eyes, a sly smirk on his face as he watched Lucinda on the stage. "If you really want a show, come to the Maid Cafe! Ditch this dumpster hole for crying out loud!" She smacked her lips, hopping down from the stage and grabbing Ivan by the arm while running outside, a large smirk plastered on her face.

As soon as she left, Aphmau watched as many abandoned the club, leaving about a fourth of the crowd inside. "How dare she? How dare she be such a nuisance to me?!" Aphmau ripped out a revolver, shooting the wine glass in Kim's hand. Kim sighed, dusting the glass shards off her palm and proceeding to the door, Ivy following after her. "The club's closed right now. Please proceed outside." Guy and Nate said simultaneously, knowing Aphmau was in no shape to run the place right now. Leaving the staff and Aphmau in the building, she decided on something. Something so drastic, only a madman would think of. Well, good thing she was a mad woman.

"Look. I know we never really do any personal jobs when it has to do with dumb rivalries but-." Garroth cut Aphmau's panicked dialogue off by touching her shoulder. "Don't touch me you-." "I'm going." Garroth's words got Zane's attention, having a shocked expression on his face. Aphmau shared the expression as well, Garroth walking past them and grabbing his bat that was next to the exit and leaving. "Garroth! W-wait!" Zane ran after him, yet Aphmau knew he wouldn't leave her. Zane always understood her antics and understood that when she did something for him, he should be thankful. That was when Garroth's tough exterior got in the way on the contrary.

Along with Garroth leaving the mafia, Katelyn would find herself begging Travis not to leave. With tears in her eyes, she cried out, saying she couldn't afford to be fighting against him. She couldn't afford losing her best friend, her one love. She gripped his arm, Travis it away from her with cold emerald eyes. "This was never meant to be." And that was when he left a heartbroken Katelyn with Nana. Later on, they learned that Travis' reason for leaving was because of the reign of power. His father, whom used to work with the Falcon Claws, had betrayed them and tried to get them arrested, in which to no avail he could. This led to him asking his son to carry out the deed of doing it himself, but he couldn't if it meant to hurt Katelyn too. But in this instance, he couldn't reject the offer.

Aphmau stayed in her office next to Katelyn's hearing her soft sobs and Nana's reassurance through the walls. "Garroth has left... Travis has left.. How am I going to handle this..?" She sighed, continuously pouring more champagne into her glass. As more hearts were broken, many more were to become. Nate and Guy argued about it. "We can start fresh! We can be happy with Lucinda!" Nate tried to persuade Guy to betray, but he wouldn't budge. Guy's cheery exterior was crumbling as Nate kept pressing him on the subject. "If we can't be on the same side then we can't be together! Just think of how good it'll be with Lucin-." He was stopped by Aphmau shooting right next to his head, causing him to jump.

"If you cannot stay loyal with your lover, you will not be loyal to me. Get out Nate. Don't cause more pain to Guy." Aphmau approached Nate, pressing the gun on his chest. "Leave!" And as the ties between his lover were broken, the ties between Aphmau were broken as well. After he left, Aphmau approached a crying Guy. "Look.. I know I may seem.. unapproachable about this subject... but I know how this feels Guy. You can go to my office, I have some champagne with your name on it." Guy chuckled a bit, when him and Aphmau first met, she set him up with Nate, having them start talking on the topic of Champagne. It would've been a nice night.

As the floaters remained, Ein with no reason. The fall of Mafia, because of an opposing one, an amateur one? How beautiful it will be, standing on he winning side. His logic was twisted. Kai and Aaron stood, thinking about the cause. "I think staying here is best. The place has memories, right Aaron?" Kai looked at Aaron, seeing that he was contemplating more. As he looked at his past, he knew that Lucinda had feelings.. Along with Aphmau at one point for him. It was one of the branches of rivalry, their love for the same person. He knew that it would be better to stay with Aphmau, for she had more resources, etc. But as more people left for the Maid Cafe, he couldn't decide.

"So. Ein left. What a shocker.." Aphmau approached the two, sarcastically talking about Ein. "I think I'll stay, you've done so much for us and I don't think I would've been here without you." Aphmau nodded in approval, a wide smile on her face. Though floaters didn't serve a good purpose, the dirt he had on most of the members in the opposite side was. And now she had to face her ex-lover. She sighed, sheepishly brushing off her gloves. "Look... You, might be thinking of going to Lucinda... Because you guys left on better terms then I could've ever gave to you." She said whole-heartedly. She personally felt a small spark for him, but losing him would be losing a great asset. She was the only one who knew about his secret, but after he telling her about it, he immediately regretted it.

He let Aphmau in when she wasn't supposed to be. It was one of the many things she was good at. That was why he would leave her. That was why he would be done with the constant belittling and weakness that was easily accessed by her. "I don't care about your sentimental bull. I know you put on this fake facade to get what you want! You did the same for me and I'm sick and tired of it!" Aaron bared his teeth at Aphmau and stormed out of the place.

"Screw you too Aaron!" She screamed back, groaning in annoyance. As soon as Aaron left, Zane came back and shook his head. "I couldn't get him back.. I'm sorry." Zane said meekly, disappointed in his brother's decision. "Don't! Don't be sorry! It's not your fault Zane. The guy was more buff than brains!" Zane looked up, a smile underneath his mask. "Everyone! in the main hall, NOW!" Aphmau bellowed, clapping her hands to round them up.

"Ok team. This may seem like a low time for most of us-." Aphmau looked around, seeing Katelyn's tear-stained face while Nana held her hand. Zane stood next to Nana, a soft blush on his face. Kai stood on Katelyn's other side, acting a bit nervous, with Guy sitting on the stage staring off blankly. Gene stood at the bar, cleaning off some dishes and whistling to himself. "While we only have six and Lucinda has.. eight. We will be able to recruit more with the dead weight off our hands!" Aphmau motivated the team, looking towards Gene for his response.

"I'm sort of neutral about this, I don't want a fight.. but I know who does." Gene replied, signaling his brother to come in. Everyone in the room gasped, suddenly arming themselves and aiming at Dante. "Woah-woah! I'm not here to arrest you guys!" He held both of his hands up, chuckling a bit to himself. Dante had wavy, dark blue hair. He was wearing a trench coat that covered his signature bright blue suit. "Look, I was here for Travis, but by the looks of it he already told Katelyn how he felt." He motioned to the tear-stained bluenette who gripped onto her revolver even tighter.

"I'm here for a proposition!" He put his hands down, walking towards Aphmau whom put her gun down. "Just because you're Gene's brother I'll stand down." She reassured him with a smirk. "Alright! I'll work for your team to get rid of Lucinda's if you give me some favors. She is keeping a fugitive by the name of "Lurker". He's Luci's boyfriend so tracking her means tracking him. Also, some of my favors may be arresting some of your clients, so do we have a deal?" He held out his hand sheepishly.

"Wait what?! Arresting our clients? No way! We'd lose business!" Nana intervened, glaring at Dante. Aphmau nodded and shook his hand, getting everyone's shocked looks. "Look, Dante is a very valuable asset. Though we are outnumbered, we have a cop on our side. Isn't that right?" Aphmau smiled at Dante.

"Let's get ready for another era of mafia. Shall we?"
