He would begin to develop their sense of fashion, and now with people at his back he was no longer a loose cannon, committing less crimes and keeping him from going to close to the law's grips. Juan would quit smoking and cut down on the drinks he would have. He would live comfortably with his new found friends albeit still living a life of crime, this time he is far more successful.

The MC started plotting to fight against the drug cartel and drive them away also stealing their money in the process. The events would last several weeks involving minor shootouts with the cartel, the club house being burned to the ground and a few MC members being captured and tortured. Many hits on the cartels operation severely damaged them more. The war between the cartel and motorcycle club would end in a bloody shootout in an abandoned town the cartel took control of. Only two members of the motorcycle club, including Juan, would survive the shootout. The cartels leader would be shot by Juan with a shotgun at the end of the fight. After the death of the cartel's leader any surviving member fled.
