== Flashbacks ==
=== Flashback A: Roots ===
The Warriors' exact date of formation is not known, though it is known that the founding members were Cleon and Vermin, and that they decided to create the gang around 16th April, 1978. On that date, the Destroyers' leader, Virgil, set up a deal between himself, Cleon, and Vermin with the Satan's Mothers. When Virgil didn't show up, Vermin decided that they should just do the deal themselves. After the Mothers arrived at the meeting spot, they found that the drugs that Cleon and Vermin held were fake, and thought they were being set up.
Cleon and Vermin ran into Tack's Warehouse, where they sneaked their way through to the end. After running into Spider and Tiny, the Mothers' leaders, they managed to beat them in a brawl. Cleon and Vermin decided to go back to the Destroyers' hangout and confront Virgil. As it turns out, Virgil set them up because he thought that Cleon was trying to go behind his back, and become Warlord himself. After a heated discussion, Cleon and Vermin leave. By the start of May, Cleon and Vermin had started their gang, and were wearing their own colors.
=== Flashback B: The Best ===
On 6th May, at a "King of the Hill" contest in , the founders of the newly-formed gang, the Warriors, consisting only of Cleon and Vermin, come across two former Destroyers named Swan and Cowboy. Swan and Cowboy are able to win the contest, and after the competition, Cleon offers both of them a place in the Warriors. The very next night, at the same time, their initiation begins.
Swan and Cowboy then proceed to wreak havoc on the streets of ; partially destroying Charlie and Twiggy's stores, smashing a few of Skinny Pete's cars, and wrecking Stefano, all while making the store owners aware that the Warriors are now their protection (which is very contradicting). After this, Cleon says that the Warriors need a hangout, to which Cowboy points to a local building that is in use by Destroyer lieutenant LC and other Destroyers.
The Warriors storm the hangout, defeating all of the Destroyers in there, and chasing LC out onto the roof. On the roof, the Warriors order LC to tell Virgil that Coney is now the territory of the Warriors, before the intoxicated LC jumps off the roof. He survives the fall and leaves with a damaged leg. The Warriors then celebrate their victory, with Swan replacing Vermin as right-hand man, and Cowboy becoming a footsoldier.
=== Flashback C: Heavy Muscle ===
On 15th June, after several unnamed young men had joined the Warriors, two guys named Ajax and Snow are joining the Warriors. At the stroke of midnight, it is the final part of Ajax and Snow's initiation into the Warriors. After surviving the beating given to them by a number of existing members of the Warriors in the fight pen, Ajax and Snow earn their place in the gang. After the initiation, Cleon invites Ajax and Snow to a party. However, they decline because Ajax is meeting up with a girl in East Coney Island, the territory of the Destroyers.
However, shortly after Ajax and Snow meet up with Rosie, they are ambushed by Destroyers and their vests are stolen. Ajax and Snow make their way deep into East Coney and are able to locate a Destroyer lieutenant, Beansie, who informs them that fellow lieutenants LC and Lemmy have their vests. Ajax and Snow make their way into Shantytown, where they find and defeat Lemmy to retake Snow's vest. They then make their way through a pawnshop to gain access to LC's apartment. There, they find LC and his lover, Lafonda.
Lafonda, a black woman who is wearing only Ajax's vest and some panties, flees to the bathroom as LC brandishes a blade. After beating down LC, Ajax goes to Lafonda to retrieve his vest from her. After Snow waits for several minutes, the two leave LC's apartment. However, as they leave, they attract the Destroyers' attention, and are chased by a large group of them to the boardwalk. Arriving at the boardwalk, Ajax and Snow find reinforcements in the form of Cleon and a large group of the Warriors. The Destroyers back down from the Warriors, but Ajax and Snow are scolded by Cleon for causing trouble on their first night as members of the gang.
=== Flashback D: Scout's Honor ===
A guy named Fox wishes to be a member of the Warriors. On 22nd July, in 's subway station, Cleon presents Fox with the task of venturing into Chinatown to disrupt the financial operations of the Savage Huns. Although Snow and another Warrior named Lynx stay silent, Ajax and Vermin express their doubts about Fox's physicality, so Cleon orders Vermin to accompany Fox; both of them must wear shirts bearing the words "Fuck U Huns".
Upon their arrival in the streets of Chinatown, the shirts worn by Fox and Vermin attract the attention of a group of Savage Huns. Fox and Vermin defeat the Huns and then destroy several stalls on the streets of Chinatown, which attracts the attention of a large group of Huns. Fox and Vermin escape from the group of Huns and head to the market, where they follow the Huns' accountant Mr. Pong and keep a record of his transactions.
Following this, Fox and Vermin beat up Pong and take his ledger, before they pursue the Huns' errand boy, Sammy. Sammy leads them to the headquarters of the Huns, where Fox and Vermin must battle several Huns and then their leader, Ghost. After defeating Ghost, Fox and Vermin retrieve Sammy's bag, before they are chased out of Chinatown by a group of Huns. Fox and Vermin return to the train station, where Cleon, Ajax, Snow, and Lynx tell Fox that he has earned his vest.
=== Flashback E: Sharp Dressed Man ===
A young native named Cochise has moved to Coney Island and wishes to join the Warriors. On 18th August, he approaches them, so in order to prove himself, Cleon sets Cochise the initiation task of going into Harlem and retrieving a size-nine hat from one of the Boppers; Snow is sent to aid Cochise on his initiation. Upon their arrival in Harlem after midnight, Cochise and Snow battle several groups of Boppers. However, they are unable to find a size-nine hat, so they make their way into the Roman Disco. In the disco, Cochise and Snow defeat another group of Boppers, before interrogating Reggie, a Bopper lieutenant. Reggie reveals that the leader of the Boppers is Big Moe; Cochise and Snow make their way to a nearby pool hall, The Pocket, in search of Moe.
However, Big Moe is not at the pool hall, so Cochise and Snow instead find another Bopper lieutenant named Boxcar. After Boxcar is interrogated, he reveals that Moe can sometimes be found at a nearby strip club called The Black Cat. Cochise and Snow make their way there. Although they don't find Moe there, they pay Debbie, Moe's best stripper, until she informs them that Moe is at a party at the nearby Club 45. Using Debbie's pass, Cochise and Snow enter Club 45, where they confront Big Moe. Cochise and Snow battle Moe on the dance floor of the club, and are eventually able to defeat him and take his size-nine hat. Cochise and Snow make their way back to Coney with Moe's hat, with Snow satisfied that Cochise has done enough to become a member of the Warriors.
== Main Game ==
=== Mission 1: New Blood ===
On 13th April, 1979, Cleon and Vermin meet up with Rembrandt, a street artist looking to join the gang. Cleon and Vermin lead Rembrandt to the fight pen near the Warriors' hangout. Rembrandt, along with his friend Ash who is also joining the gang, battles a local vagrant named Rudy, before fighting a number of other local hobos. After beating the homeless, Rembrandt must hold his own against three Warriors, before he is able to join the gang. After Rembrandt completes his initiation with Ash, he tries on his vest, changes into clean pants, and revisits Cleon and Vermin. Because Rembrandt looks injured from his earlier brawls, Cleon tells Vermin to take him to find some flash. On the streets of Coney Island, Vermin shows Rembrandt the basic ways to earn money: stealing from shops, stealing car radios, and mugging civilians. After this, Vermin leads Rembrandt to a nearby flash dealer; Rembrandt purchases some flash from the dealer, before he and Vermin head back to the hangout to see Cleon.
=== Mission 2: Real Live Bunch ===
Shortly after Vermin and Rembrandt arrived back at the hangout, where there was only Cleon, some Destroyers caused havoc around their hangout, as well as alarming the police of gang warfare. Cleon rounded up all of the Warriors who were out on patrol that night; Ajax, Cowboy, Snow, Fox, Swan, and Cochise. After taking care of a group of Destroyers, the nine Warriors returned to their hangout to find that their wall had been graffitied by the Destroyers in their logo. Cleon was enraged by this, so he ordered Rembrandt to march to East Coney and spray the Warriors' logo all around the Destroyers' turf.
=== Mission 3: Payback ===
Rembrandt, Vermin, Cowboy, and Ajax go around East Coney to tag over some of the Destroyers' tags, as well as fight some footsoldiers on the way. After doing so, Vermin made a joke to Rembrandt to spray the logo over the Destroyers' logo in their hangout. Rembrandt didn't like the idea of going into the hangout in case the Destroyers are waiting for the Warriors to attack them, only to lead them into a ambush. Ajax ignored what Rembrandt said and stormed off with one of his spray cans to the hangout. Rembrandt, Vermin, and Cowboy had no choice but to sneak to the hangout to graffiti over the Destroyer's logo and then find Ajax. After Rembrandt sprayed the logo over the Destroyers', Ajax appeared and told them that everything was okay, and that no one was around. This was because Ajax went inside the hangout and tagged a "W" on the back of Virgil while he was sleeping. The four Warriors made their way back to West Coney to tell Cleon the good news.
=== Mission 4: Blackout ===
On 30th April, Vermin and Snow wanted to take Ash to The Black Cat. They also asked if Cleon wanted to come along, but he declined the offer. Whilst on their way to Harlem, their train car stopped in due to a around the area. This also broke out a massive full-scale riot around the town. After three Warriors went through many stores to steal jewellery, cash, and radios, they went back to Coney via train when power returned.
=== Mission 5: Real Heavy Rep ===
Due to a plot-hole, this mission/event does not happen in The Warriors film timeline.
On 19th May, the mission opens up in the hangout as the Warriors listen to the radio. The DJ reports news from around New York City, and one report is about the -based gang, the Orphans, beating up the Warriors. As a result of this false report, Cleon and Fox decide to lead a Warparty containing a number of new bloods to Tremont to see how tough the Orphans really are. Arriving in Tremont, the Warriors immediately defeat a small group Orphans, before the local hobos inform them that the Orphans usually inhabit Tremont's clinic. There, the Warriors defeat a large number of Orphans, before the Orphans' second-in-command, Jesse, is thrown out of the clinic. The Warriors chase Jesse, catch him, and interrogate him for the location of the remaining Orphans.
When Jesse reveals that the Orphans are throwing a party at the "Orphanage", the Warriors make their way there and waste all of the Orphans. However, as they attempt to leave, a woman appears, telling the Warriors that the Orphans' leader is called Sully. She says that Sully ignores her, so tells them that he is at the auto shop, fixing his car. When the Warriors arrive at the auto shop, Sully and the Orphans are able to escape to safety behind a gate. However, Sully leaves his car unattended, and the Warriors are able destroy it, despite the best attempts of the Orphans to stop them. After destroying the car, the Warriors leave Sully wailing on the floor, but before they leave Tremont, Cleon gives the New Bloods a talk on the importance of always maintaining the Warriors' reputation.
=== Mission 6: Writer's Block ===
On the evening of 20th May, at the hangout, Cleon tells Rembrandt to finish the burner that he was working on earlier. After making his way out into Coney Island and completing the burner, Rembrandt notices an advertisement for the "Soho Writer's Showdown", hosted by Scopes. Rembrandt signs the Warriors up for the contest, but when he returns to the hangout to inform Cleon, the Warlord is unimpressed that Rembrandt had acted without his consent. Despite his anger, Cleon allows Rembrandt to take part in the contest, sending Ajax, Snow, and Cowboy with him.
The four Warriors arrive in under the premise of a truce and make their way into the Hi-Hats' turf, where the contest is being held. The Warriors are eventually able to defeat the Electric Eliminators, Moonrunners, and Panzers in the contest. However, as Scopes announces the Warriors’ victory, he is whacked on the head with a bottle and thrown off some scaffolding by the Hi-Hats. Chatterbox, the leader of the Hi-Hats, then appears, remarking that he doesn't appreciate gangs leaving their mark on the Hi-Hats' territory. The participants of the contest are then surrounded by a large group of Hi-Hats, who attack the other gangs.
The Warriors are able to escape to the roof opposite Chatterbox's balcony, and throw bricks to break a pulley and send scaffolding crashing down on Chatterbox. Following this, the Warriors are pursued across the Soho rooftops by the Hi-Hats. However, they are able to find safety when they jump through the roof of Chatterbox's personal gallery, which they then destroy. The Warparty heads back to Coney before Chatterbox arrives at his gallery, and as the level ends the Hi-Hats' leader swears revenge on the Warriors.
=== Mission 7: Adios Amigo ===
On the evening of 25th May, Cleon informs Ajax, Cochise, Snow, and Rembrandt that Sanchez, an affiliate of the Hurricanes, has been recently released from prison. Sanchez still owes money to the Warriors, and hasn't paid them yet, so Ajax takes Cochise, Snow, and Rembrandt to find Sanchez and take the money that he owes the gang. Arriving in , the Warriors quickly begin battling small groups of Hurricanes, before making their way to The Stripes and Solids bar, where they find Sanchez. However, a number of Hurricanes are present in the bar and the Warriors defeat them before they can get to Sanchez. The fight comes to an end when the -wielding owner of the bar orders everyone to leave. Sanchez escapes during the fight, so they split up, with Snow taking Rembrandt in one direction.
When Ajax and Cochise go the other direction, they both quickly find and pursue Sanchez through the streets, stopping twice to battle groups of Hurricanes. Eventually, Ajax and Cochise corner Sanchez inside a building, before they regroup with Snow and Rembrandt. However, they must first battle Diego, a large member of the Hurricanes, and Vargas, his equally large brother. After defeating the two brothers, the Warriors corner Sanchez on the rooftop, where they collect the payment owed to them. However, the payment is less than what is expected, and as Sanchez attempts to make excuses, Ajax says "Boo!", making him flinch and fall off the roof of the building onto a car below. Laughing at Sanchez's fall to his death, the Warriors return to Coney Island.
=== Mission 8: Encore ===
On 4th June at around 9:00 at night, Cleon, Snow, and Rembrandt are in the hangout watching Ajax rage at the pinball machine, when a fake skull comes crashing through one of the hangout's windows. Looking out of the window, they see that Chatterbox and the Hi-Hats are responsible for the attack. Cleon says that it is time that he dealt with Chatterbox and his gang personally. The four Warriors make their way to the Coney Amusement Park, meeting up with Swan, Vermin, Cowboy and Fox along the way. Upon their arrival at the amusement park, Chatterbox remarks that they will regret trashing his gallery, before ordering a large group of Hi-Hats to attack them. After the Warriors defeat the Hi-Hats, Chatterbox retreats inside an amusement ride. Cleon orders Swan, Ajax, and Snow to accompany him as him pursues Chatterbox inside the attraction, as Vermin, Cowboy, Fox, and Rembrandt go home.
In the amusement centre, Snow says that he hasn't been here in a long time. In the darkness, as Cleon goes ahead, he spots a few Hi-Hats, but they are unable to see Cleon in the shadows. Cleon finds a knife on the floor and slices the throats of the few Hi-Hats, one by one. After Cleon calls the others over, he turns on a switch that activates a ride, and they must outrun the ride's carts on the tracks. After escaping from the carts, they beat up another group of Hi-Hats, before facing off against Chatterbox and his lieutenants. First, the Warriors must defeat Chatterbox's brother and second-in-command, Crackerjack, and his other lieutenants, before they battle Chatterbox. After a prolonged battle, the Warriors are eventually able to waste Chatterbox, bringing an end to the feud when he is killed by a rollercoaster cart that had passed by on the ground's tracks.
=== Mission 9: Payin' The Cost ===
The Warriors are in the hangout when a civilian named Rodney runs in, informing Cleon that Charlie is in need of assistance. Cleon, Swan, Snow, Vermin, and Ash make their way down to Charlie's Plumbing Store, where they find it half-destroyed. Charlie explains that, earlier, Virgil and the Destroyers told the Coney Island shopkeepers that the Warriors' protection was worthless, and that they are now protected by the Destroyers. Cleon sends Snow to round up the rest of the Warriors, and sends Ash to scout Tony's Fish Market. Cleon, Swan, and Vermin then go to collect their owed protection money from the local shopkeepers. After collecting money from the stores, Cleon, Swan and Vermin regroup with Snow, who informs them that the rest of the Warriors are on their way.
Snow asks where Ash is, but at that moment, the Warriors' side of Coney comes under attack from the Destroyers. The four Warriors defend Coney's main stores from the Destroyers, before Tony appears holding Ash's vest and telling them that Virgil and the Destroyers are at the fish market. Cleon and Swan make their way to the fish market, where they find Ash's dead body and realise that it's a trap. They both escape into the fish market's car park, where they are met by Virgil and a number of Destroyers wielding from a rooftop. Virgil leaves after telling the Destroyers to waste them. Cleon and Swan break the lock on the gate holding them in, while avoiding the Molotovs being thrown at them. Eventually, Cleon and Swan are able to escape.
=== Mission 10: Destroyed ===
That night, Cleon leads the Warriors to East Coney to end the Destroyers. Upon their arrival in East Coney, the Warriors split up into warparties, with Cleon leading Vermin, Snow, and Ajax through one of East Coney's main streets and adjoining back-alley; Swan leads Cochise, Cowboy, and Fox elsewhere. The warparty wrecks two stores under Destroyers' protection, and wastes several groups of Destroyers, before making their way into the back-alleys, where they begin to sabotage the Destroyers' operations.
The warparty wastes a pimp named Filmore, as well as his prostitutes, before damaging the Destroyers' stolen goods and then wrecking their casino pit. A cutscene then shows Destroyers leader Virgil being informed of the Warriors' mayhem, before he assaults Beansie, one of his lieutenants, for a quip. Virgil orders his Destroyers officers to defend East Coney, though they are soon beaten by the Warriors.
Back at the Destroyers' hangout, Virgil tells his lieutenants to prepare to defend the hangout from the Warriors. He then tells LC, that he's going to the shack; LC wishes to go with him, but Virgil tells him to stay and fight. The Warriors then storm the Destroyers' hangout, defeating Lemmy and a number of Destroyers in the courtyard, before breaking into the hangout and wrecking all of the Destroyers in there.
However, after wasting all of the Destroyers, they realise that Virgil is not in the hangout. Cleon and Vermin then stealthily pursue LC to the shack. Once there, Cleon knocks him out and then confront Virgil inside. The shack is soon set alight by Virgil's use of Molotovs, and among the flames, Cleon and Vermin are able to defeat Virgil and knock him to the ground. After a brief exchange between Cleon and Virgil, Cleon throws a Molotov at the defeated Virgil, before he and Vermin leave the burning shack.
=== Mission 11: Boys In Blue ===
On 30th June, at the Warriors' hangout, the gang hear on the radio that a police officer has been wasted in , and a "gang curfew" is in effect. Fox and Snow are scouting in Pelham, so Cleon sends Cochise, Vermin, and Cowboy to check up on their condition. The cutscene that follows then reveals that Luther, the Rogues' leader, was responsible for the cop's death. Upon their arrival at the Pelham subway platform, the three Warriors find that the train station is lockdown. They get into a fight with the Turnbull AC's, and throw a member in front of an oncoming train in order to get the cops' attention. When the come down to the platform to investigate, the Warriors make their way to the Riffs' gambling club.
Cochise asks the Riff at the door if he's seen any other Warriors, but the Riff wants payment for his answer. After collecting money from rioting and looting in Pelham, they return to the gambling club, where the Riff informs them that, when the cops raided the club, everyone fled to The Red Devil bar. The Riff suggests that the Warriors travel through the sewer system, though they must first locate a set of . After cutting into the sewers, the Warriors recruit several hobos to help them, before battling a group of Turnbull AC's. After defeating the AC's, they continue on through the sewers and overhear a wheelchair-bound Turnbull lieutenant named Birdie talking about how he had two gang members wrecked by his footsoldiers earlier, and will shortly finish them off when they awaken.
Shortly after this, they comes across Fox and Snow, who are on the ground covered in bruises and wounds. They help them up, then Fox and Snow explain that, when the cops raided the Riffs' gambling club and everyone fled to The Red Devil, they followed them. However, Birdie soon set a group of Turnbull AC's on the Warriors, and they were overwhelmed and beaten savagely. Cochise tells Cowboy to take Fox and Snow back to Coney Island, and get some Warriors reinforcements down to Pelham. After roughly an hour's wait, Ajax arrives with several new bloods. The reinforced warparty enters The Red Devil and wreck all of the Turnbull AC's inside, including the resident band, the Angry Cocks. The bartender then begs the Warriors to leave, telling them that Birdie is at the local refinery.
Arriving at the refinery, they find Birdie talking to three construction workers, one of which is his brother. When Cochise announces the Warriors' arrival, Birdie draws a , and the Warriors run for cover. However, as the rest of the Warriors run over a flimsy bridge leading to a building, Birdie shoots it, and it collapses beneath them, which leaves Cochise behind. With Birdie shooting at them from behind cover, the Warriors must take turns throwing objects such as cans and bricks at Birdie. Eventually, Birdie is knocked to the edge of a ledge, and a final thrown object knocks him over the edge. Birdie falls many feet down below, killing him. Cochise tells Birdie he can crawl to Coney if he wishes to retaliate, before the Warparty leaves Pelham.
At the Riffs' hangout, as Cyrus takes the Riffs through a set of drills, he is informed that the Warriors have wasted Birdie, and that the Turnbull AC's are looking for revenge. However, Cyrus is adamant that the AC's should not be allowed to retaliate, and tells the informer to keep track of the Warriors' movements.
=== Mission 12: Set Up ===
On 3rd July, Cleon reveals that he has been talking to the -based gang, the Saracens, who say they've been having problem with their rivals, the Jones Street Boys. The Saracens are a reputable gang, and Cleon believes that aiding them will lead to the Warriors getting onto the Riffs' network. Cowboy and Cochise are sent to Bensonhurst, where they meet up with the Saracens' leader, Edge. Edge explains that the Jones Street Boys have recently been working with the local cops, which has caused problems between the gangs. Edge tells Cowboy and Cochise that the plan is for them to steal items from the stores around Bensonhurst, then plant some in the trunk of the cops' car, and the rest in the Jones Street Boys' hangout.
After Edge and the Saracens leave, Cowboy and Cochise begin making their way around Bensonhurst, looting the stores and stealing car radios. When they have enough stolen items, Cowboy and Cochise put some of the items in the boot of the cops' car, before they make their way to the Jones Street Boys' hangout and plant the remaining items there. Following this, Cowboy and Cochise come across the two cops - Judas and Dawson - who have been working with the Jones Street Boys. Cowboy lies and says that the JSBs have a business set up where they sell stolen merchandise out of their hangout, before leaving the cops. Annoyed that they are being left out of this fabricated deal, the cops arrest Knox, the leader of the JSBs.
However, the cops themselves are then arrested after Detectives Harrison and Garrison uncover the stolen items in their trunk. Before leaving Bensonhurst, Cowboy and Cochise come across Edge, who thanks them for their work and tells the Warriors that he will tell he Riffs about them prior to the meeting.
=== Mission 13: All-City ===
At around midnight of 10th July, the Riffs' leader, Cyrus, sends his soldiers to invite his chosen gangs to the meeting, outlining his conditions for the gangs in attendance. In the Warriors' hangout, Cleon tells Rembrandt that it's time to take the gang "all-city". Cleon leads Rembrandt, Snow, and Fox to meet up with Scopes at the Pelham Trainyard. Once there, Scopes explains that Rembrandt should be able to tag the new trains in the yard, though he warns them that they should watch out for the Moonrunners, as the trainyard is their territory. Cleon and Scopes leave shortly after, and the three Warriors make their way into the trainyard, where Rembrandt tags the first train.
Fox then sets out to find the other new trains. Rembrandt and Snow then make their way through the trainyard, defeating several groups of Moonrunners, and then destroying the security guards' radio. Fox then arrives and tells Rembrandt and Snow where the next three trains are, before leaving to find more. Rembrandt and Snow find and tag the next four trains, before regrouping with Fox. Scopes then arrives to inform them that when they destroyed the radio earlier, they alerted the cops, who are now arriving at the trainyard.

After the Warriors are spotted by the Orphans' scouts, Swan and Fox attempt to parley with Sully, the leader of the Orphans. The Orphans' prostitute, Mercy, then challenges his manhood for allowing another gang to walk through the Orphans' turf. In the game universe, she brings up the fact that they trashed his car. Sully then tells the Warriors to take off their vests; a request that Swan refuses. Sully leaves the group with the rest of the Orphans, and the Warriors begin to make their way through Tremont, leaving Mercy behind as she insults them in a hidden plea for them to take her along.
The Warriors eventually come to a large group of Orphans, led by Sully, but are able to defeat them. Then, the Warriors come across a police blockade and are separated.

Vermin, Cochise, and Rembrandt are able to escape from the cops by boarding a train heading to .
Swan, Snow, Ajax, and Cowboy attempt to escape from the cops by leaving the train station and coming out on the street in Riverside. However, they encounter the Baseball Furies, who chase them into Riverside Park, where Ajax and Cowboy split up from Swan and Snow. When Thurman, the Furies' lieutenant, wrecks Cowboy, Ajax briefly battles the Furies alone, but Swan and Snow soon arrive and aid Ajax in defeating the large group of Furies. After Swan pulls Cowboy to his feet, the four then attempt to make their way to the next train station.
(This paragraph only takes place in the game's timeline) However, they come across the Furies' leader Cobb in Riverside Park's rotunda. The Warriors are able to overwhelm Cobb and the remaining Furies, and leave the rotunda back to the park.
After fighting, Ajax notices a lone woman on a park bench, and he says to his friends that they should stay there a while, but they refuse, saying they need to hurry to find the other Warriors. Ajax angrily dismisses the three as "faggots" and walks back over to the woman, while the others walk off. Ajax approaches the lady, who invites him to sit with her, and then compliments his muscles.
When she flirts with him, Ajax becomes sexually aggressive towards her, proclaiming that he likes it rough. However, the woman is actually revealed to be an undercover police officer and she swiftly handcuffs him to the bench, before she loudly whistles for backup. When a squad car arrives, Ajax is arrested. Meanwhile, Snow and Cowboy tell Swan that they want to return to check on Ajax, but when the two arrive, they are powerless to do anything as they watch, from behind bushes, as he is placed into a police car.
=== Mission 17: Friendly Faces ===
Rembrandt, Vermin, and Cochise arrive at Union Square and almost immediately see a group of beautiful young women. Vermin and Cochise approach them, ignoring Rembrandt's protests. The ladies seduce them and take them to their hangout, where they have a small party, and introduce themselves as the Lizzies. However, after a while, the party is interrupted when the women draw out handguns and in an attempt to kill the Warriors in retribution for Cyrus' murder. Although Rembrandt is cut on his arm, the three escape.
Outside in the street, Rembrandt explains that the Lizzies believe they shot Cyrus, and all the city's gangs must be searching for them. The trio make their way back to Union Square to regroup with the rest of the Warriors. After they wait at the platform for a while, Snow and Cowboy find them and tell them that the cops got Ajax, but the whereabouts of Swan are unknown to them. Rembrandt, Vermin, and Cochise are shocked about Ajax, and the five Warriors leave the platform to find Swan. Meanwhile, as Swan makes his way through the station, Mercy finds him.
After a brief conversation, they walk together, but eventually run into police, but escape by running onto the train tracks. After some time, they are still walking on the tracks, and they both have a deep conversation on their lives and future, before sharing a long kiss. However, Swan becomes angry and leaves her behind, but she follows him. In the subway station, Mercy finds Swan points out that he is being followed by the Punks, to which Swan makes it clear that he is already aware of this. Just then, the other five Warriors arrive. In a deleted scene, he talks with them and learns that Ajax was arrested.
Swan then leads the group into the nearby subway bathroom. There, they ambush the Punks and are eventually able to defeat them, before they board the train back to Coney Island. A scene then shows one of the Gramercy Riffs introducing Masai to a gang member who says he saw who really shot Cyrus. Meanwhile, as the Warriors make their way back to Coney, they come across two prom couples; the couples leave a short time later, becoming uncomfortable after seeing Swan and Mercy's beaten and tired condition.

Swan asks Luther why he wasted Cyrus, and when Luther replies that there was no reason, and that he just likes doing things like that. Luther chuckles, and Swan chuckles back, then challenges Luther to a one-on-one fight.

Swan then swiftly disables Luther when he quickly draws a switchblade throws it into Luther's wrist. Right after this, Masai and a large group of Gramercy Riffs appear, now aware that Luther is behind Cyrus' murder. Masai praises the Warriors, before allowing them safe passage past the Riffs on the beach. As the Warriors walk off, Masai and the Riffs swarm the Rogues as Luther screams in fear. The DJ announces the big alert has been called off, and apologises to the Warriors for the situation. The Warriors, safe and finally home, walk down the beach, illuminated by the sunrise.

In the intro, Mercy is hanging around in Coney when she is approached by Masai and two other Riffs. She is punched in the gut and carried away, seemingly unconscious (identical to how Marian is kidnapped in the Double Dragon intro). After being taken away, a garage opens to reveal the protagonist(s) and a car inside (another thing reused from Double Dragon). Swan brawls through Destroyers invading Coney, until he reaches Virgil, Beansie, and Lemmy. Swan beats them and boards a train.

In the graveyard, more Rogues attack Swan while Luther shoots from afar, but the Rogues get beaten up, and Luther is defeated when Swan throws bottles at his face. Swan then fights through the Riffs' hangout, where he manages to defeat a large number of Riffs, including Masai, who are all guarding Mercy. Also, if Armies is played by two players, then Swan and Ajax have to fight each other at the finale for Mercy's affection; the same happens on Double Dragon if played on two-player mode, where Billy and Jimmy fight for Marian.

Fox's ghost then rises from the dirt while Mercy joins them with the other seven Warriors.
