Previously; The Boss had taken up the disguise of The Steelport Avenger when the Saints warehouses had been raided by a new dangerous group known as The Golem. The Saints own the key to the can cant do a thing about it, but the Boss has other plans. After wrecking two vehicles and attracting police attention, The Boss accompanied by Pierce head off back to the factory district in attempts to stop the Golem by flying through a police blockade. The method, a police tornado attack chopper.

As they arrive at their destination, they choppers alarm systems sound as a Kobra rocket heads straight towards them. Is it the end of the Steelport Avenger? …... No... No it is not! Enjoy it everybody.

Steelport Factory District

The Alarms systems buzzed and as the entire cockpit lit up with a terrifying red glow. The Boss tapped away at the controls trying to veer the helicopter away from the rockets course. Pulling back hard on the controls he pulled the nose up sending the chopper in an upward spiral. In the back seat clinging on for dear life, Pierce gripped the back of the Boss's seat in dear life. The rocket had missed the target by inches as it ricoched off the base of the chopper. The chopper then began to loose height as it then went into a down-woods spiral. By now the instruments and navigational controls were off the scale. The Boss knew that there was only one option left. They had to brace for cover.

"Pierce!" he cried. "You know what to do! Hit the deck!"

"No Shit!" Pierce screamed as he positioned his body in crash position. "Unless you want us to die, I suggest you do something fast!"

Suddenly, a thought pooped into the Boss's head at the last moment. With seconds left he pulled back on the leave and hit the reverse thruster switch. The front jets ignited as the force of the thrust tilted the helicopter upwards, levelling it up at the very last second, the chopper flew over the warehouses, it's landing gear nearly scraping the rooftops. The Boss wanted to breath a sigh of relief, but he had to act fast if he was going to land the chopper and pounce on the Golem. He brought the chopper into hover position and landed in the parking lot, where a wave of enemy gang members were waiting for them. The cockpit windows were blanked out so the enemy couldn't see inside.

Unfastening his seat belt, The Boss looked back at Pierce with a look of a psycho on his face. Pierce didn't like that look as he loaded his assault rifle and gazed out of the cockpit window. The Boss, loaded two modified TEK Z-10 SMG's and counted the number of gang members that were now circling them.

"I think it's bad that a vigilante should be using them things." Pierce said.

"No it's bad for a superhero to use these things." The Boss corrected. "Vigilantes are fine."

"Do you think we can take them all?" Pierce asked as he looked out of the window.

"I couldn't on my own." The Boss replied as his finger hovered over the hatch button. "But if we dive out on the count of five and catch them off balance, we should make it. You dig?"

"Yeah I dig." Pierce agreed as he got into position to fire. "After you."

On the count of five, The Boss opened the hatch and fired a deadly barrage of gun fire accompanied by Pierce's accurate aiming. The Gang's circle split up into the three groups. The first group tried to take cover behind some storage units, but the Boss knocked them down before they even had a chance. The second group had dived round the other side of the chopper in hopes of catching the two saints off guard. Pierce spotted the group and opened fire with his K-8 Krukov Assault rifle. He hit most of the members with one shot as his bullets ricoched off the choppers tail wing. He tried effortlessly not to damage it, but his clumsiness got the better of him. He just decided to keep It quiet.

The Boss leaped out of the chopper and advanced on the third group who were retreating into one of the warehouses. The Boss quickly infiltrated the warehouse as he activated stealth mode on his suit. He had Kinzie set up the technology back at her crib a few days before. The technology enabled him to sneak around the area while blending in with the environment. It reminded him of an episode he watched of Batman Beyond. He loved it. He approached the first few targets who were taking cover in the shadows. Using his meele moves, he crept behind the two men and snapped their necks before they could even react. There were five members and there were three left. He had to pick up the pace.

Covering the ground floor, he noticed two more Golem members on the metal gangway above him. Sneaking up the metal staircase was going to be a challenge. He had to find another way. As he pondered on the spot, he quickly noticed there were a tack of crates which reached the gangway. He climbed the crates as slow as he could and climbed over the thin metal railing. He then repeated the same move, snapping the enemy's neck in one fast sweep. Knowing that there was only one man left to pursue, the Boss switched out of stealth mode and searched the entire upper floor. Finding no sign of him, he came to an eerie office with smashed in windows. He figured that he could find a clue that would help him trace the Golem member to his location.

Unfortunately, his search came to an abrupt end as the Boss gave up the search. He let another punk slip through fingers yet again and the very thought of it made his blood boil. A light shone in the corner of his eye. Maybe it wasn't the end after all. The fire exit door was wide open making it clear that it was the only escape route from the building. Rushing outside, the Boss saw the a car speed off into the distance. He knew he couldn't chase it. However, the Golem gang member had left a clue on the fire escape walkway. It was a card which stated a name and address. The fool had stupidly dropped it during his escape which meant that the Boss knew exactly where to go. Returning to the chopper, he approached Pierce and showed him the card.

"Well, Pierce." he said as he displayed a menacing grin on his face. "It looks like, we're taking the game to a whole new level."

"That's funny." Pierce sneered. "I never thought of this as a game."

Meanwhile, in the Oppressor, Kinzie had got a fix on the Boss's location. As they descended over the warehouses, there were shocked to see Pierce who was surrounded in a huge pool of blood and several bodies. The Boss however, was nowhere to be seen. The quickly landed and Shaundi hopped out to see what was going on. She could see that Pierce had displayed a look of disbelief which made her guess what was wrong.

"Are you alright?" she asked him. "What's happened to the Boss?"

"Lets just go." Pierce replied as the two boarded the Chopper and signalled Kinzie to take off. "I need a shower and bottle of Jack."

The Chopper took an effortless, smooth journey back to Safewood as Pierce explained the entire incident to Shaundi. Shaundi couldn't believe what she was hearing. Did the Boss let this Vigilante thing go to his head?

"And you let him go off on his own?" she confirmed as she raised the tone in her voice.

"Of course I let him go off on his own." Pierce replied. "The man's flipped. He leaped onto a bike told me to hitch a lift with you two and then sped off like he was Nyte Blade or something."

"Shit." Shaundi huffed as she began to feel like her mind was slipping. "We've got to stop him sooner or later otherwise we'll be promoting a leader to the Saints."

Pierce nodded in agreement as the chopper reached the crib. Although he may not know it yet, the Boss was going to get himself killed.
