Instead, he tells Mercy to go on without him. He is then tackled by a police officer and is struggling to escape but can't. Fox is seen with Mercy running to catch up with the others. Vermin, Cochise and Rembrandt make the train to Union Square. When the Warriors arrive at the 96th Street and Broadway station in Manhattan, they are separated when they are chased by the numerous patrolling cops who are trying to round up all the gangs after the "rumble" in the Bronx. Mercy, impressed, follows the Warriors on impulse. The Warriors refuse, resulting in a near fight quelled only by the Warriors' use of a Molotov cocktail. When she challenges the manhood of the Orphans' leader, he, to save face, tells the Warriors to remove their gang colors for safe passage. Parleying for safe passage, the Warriors convince the Orphans to let them through peacefully until they come across Mercy, a feisty girl who convinces the Orphans to try and put up a fight with the Warriors when they refuse to give her one of their gang-vests. In the Bronx, they come across a gang called the Orphans. However, on the ride back to Coney Island, the train is stopped by a fire on the tracks, dumping the Warriors in Tremont, in the Bronx. The Turnbull AC's almost reach them but the Warriors make it to the train, just in time for the doors to close. They have no choice but to make a run to the train. On their way to the subway, the Warriors find another gang, the Turnbull AC's, looking for them. The Warriors slowly cross the dangerous Bronx and Manhattan territories, narrowly escaping police and other gangs every step of the way. The second-in-command, Swan, takes charge, though the hot-headed Ajax openly voices "his" desire to be acting gang Warlord. Regrouping in Woodlawn Cemetery, the Warriors begin their long journey from the Bronx back to Coney Island. This sets the entire city's gang population out hunting for them, with a seemingly omniscient radio D.J. Masai, second-in-command of the Riffs, takes charge as their new leader, and declares a bounty on the Warriors. Meanwhile, the other locally-based gangs regroup at their respective headquarters. While the Riffs beat and kill the Warriors' leader Cleon, the other eight Warriors escape the melee and debate their next move, knowing they are deep in enemy territory. During the chaos, Luther screams that the Warriors are responsible for killing Cyrus. Immediately after, the NYPD rushes in from all sides. Luther is seen in the act by one of the Warriors, Fox. Most of the gangs laud his idea, but members of the Rogues gang, who have smuggled a gun in, pass it to their leader, Luther, who then kills Cyrus. The eloquent and intelligent Cyrus tells the assembled crowd that a permanent citywide truce would allow the gangs to control the city, pointing out there are 60,000 of them and only 20,000 officers in the NYPD. The Warriors, from Coney Island, Brooklyn, are one such gang. Cyrus, the leader of the most powerful gang in New York City, the Gramercy Riffs, calls a midnight summit for all the area gangs, with all asked to send nine unarmed representatives for the conclave in Van Cortlandt Park.
