Rumble

“Them Nines are down to a few scabby herds... but they still wanna bring it. They agreed to go toe to toe. A gang of them against two of us, or rather... two of y'all. I'd join you but... I ain't due my parole hearing for another three months now, y'know what I mean? Go and meet my baby brother. He'll show you where they are fighting a'right son.”

— D-Ice

D-Ice
(Voice only):

Them Nines are down to a few scabby herds, but they still wanna bring it. They agreed to go toe to toe. A gang of them against two of us, or rather... two of yaw. I'd join you, but...I ain't due my parole hearing for another three months now, y'know what I mean? Go and meet my baby brother. He'll show you where they are fighting, a'right, son.

Claude goes to get D-Ice's brother.

D-Ice's brother:

Yo, Ice said you was comin'. There are rules: bats only, no guns, no cars. This is a battle for respect, you cool? Let's go crack some skulls.

Claude and D-Ice's brother head to Staunton View Picnic Area, where the last remaining members of the Purple Nines are located, and kill them off by using a Baseball Bat.

Trivia[]

Even killing a gangster with fists or causing him to drown will lead to a mission failure; strictly a baseball bat must be used.
- Discharging a firearm will, in addition to the failure, cause the gangsters to draw Uzis and fire at the player.
D-Ice's brother does not inflict any damage to the enemies.
