In a large building in the center of the city Sable Manfredi, wearing a blue shirt under a black jacket and pants walks through the upper level. As she passes down the hall she sees several men working out of one of the offices. "What do you think you're doing?" she demands.
"Ah pleasant as always Sable." Bernard Gou says coming out of the office. "As for these gentlemen, well it seems that during the extensive renovation of this facility, my offices seem to have been overlooked. So naturally I took it upon myself to hire them to fix it for me."
"We're all done here Mr. Gou." A worker with long black dreadlocks says to him.
"Excellent work, stop by tomorrow for your pay. And now Sable if you will excuse me I have a prior engagement to attend to." He says politely with a bow as she sneers at him and he leaves through the elevator.
A short while later Sable stops in her father's office. He stops working on his laptop and looks up. "Morning Sable."
"Morning daddy." She says with a smile. "I think we have a problem though."
"And what's that?"
"It's Gou, he's up to something but I'm not sure what."
"I've had him monitored since the breakout and haven't found anything on him. I admit I don't believe he's not up to something, and I really don't trust his bids for power but for the time being we have nothing on him."
Just then one of Manfredi's men walks in. "Sir you need to see this." he hands Silvio a video pad. "I got the message just now." On the screen Gou is shown tied up and hanging from a crane over a car crusher, as Mr. Negative walks on screen.
"Greetings Mr. Manfredi, I'm quite sure you know me, because I know you quite well. And I believe you know this man behind me. Now let's get down to business. These rumors of a gang war are pure non-sense. I am sure we can settle this like rationale gentlemen. So I propose we meet at the location on the bottom of the screen, just you, me, and your organization's top bosses. Otherwise Mr. Gou here may come back a bit shorter and thinner. You have half an hour after this message ends to show up." The transmission than cuts out abruptly.
"Oh well poor Bernard." Sable says with a slight smile.
Silvermane stands up and puts his jacket on. "We're going. If he wants to talk this out, alright. If this is a trap then we can take care of him once and for all."
"You're seriously going through all this trouble for Gou?" Sable asks.
"It's not for him. If we do nothing than we might as well roll over for this clown. No one calls Silvio Manfredi's bluff. Wait here, me and the boys will be back in a while." He says as he gets on his phone and calls the other bosses and heads out the door.
As Sable and a few of the men wait in the building, she sits in her father's chair leaning back in it, occasionally checking her watch. She then hers a sound outside the office door and gets up. "Hello?" she says with no response. She hears it again and walks over looking outside. Sable cautiously walks down the hall and notices that the guards our not at their usual positions. Suddenly she hears a groan from the other side of a door. She slowly opens it as a guard falls out, his shoulder bleeding severely. "Are you alright?" she asks as the guard nods lightly.
Her phone rings as she answers. "Daddy, is that you?" she says in a low voice.
"Sable, get out of the building it's a trap. It was a setup." The call then ends as she looks up and sees three of the guards running back down the hall. "What's going on?"
"Ma'am, we have intruders in the building. We're the only ones that made it back. You should head back to the office until this is over." He says as the trio trains their guns down the hallway.
"No, my father and the others need our help. We'll deal with these first and head to their location." She says pulling two pistols from her jacket holster. The group wait for the intruders as a long pause sets in. Suddenly four men in black drop from the ceiling, knocking two of the guards down causing them to fire their weapons at random, almost hitting Sable and the other guard. Sable jumps back and opens fire on the invaders, who nimbly dodge the shots as the one jumps in front of her, kicking the guns out of her hands. She quickly regains her balance and engages the attacker in hand to hand combat with a series of kicks.
The two guards spin around and open fire on two of the attackers, hitting one in the back as he seemingly dissolves to dust, causing them to look on in disbelief. The other turns around and rushes the two slamming them into the ceiling. Sable and the remaining guard head down the hall as the other three give chase. As they head down the hallway they run into several Inner Demons that cut off the route down the hall. "What now ma'am?" he asks as they stand in front of her father's office. One of the three in black lunges at the two only to be cut down by the wounded guard down the hall as he supports himself on the wall, opening fire on the group. "Go!" he shouts as Sable and the remaining guard head into the office, locking the door behind them.
Sable walks over to the wall and presses a piece in, revealing a secret passageway. "My father had it installed, it'll take us out of the building." She says as the guard looks at the door.
"You go, I'll hold them off." He says holding his gun to the door.
"Try to stay alive, alright?" she tells him with a smile as she hesitantly heads through the tunnel as the doorway closes behind her. She crawls down the pathway, hearing a loud explosion from the floor she was just on as she heads down the tunnel to the parking garage adjacent to the building. She looks back over at the building as the floor she and her guards were on is engulfed in flames. Sable looks on in disbelief, then rushes to her motorcycle and heads off to her father's location as fast as she can.
She reaches the junkyard where the meeting was to take place and finds the area swarming with police as they have cordoned off the area, attempting to combat the Inner Demons guarding the outside of the yard. She parks her bike a few blocks away and sneaks around the police blockade. She climbs over the metal fence inside and sneaks around. She peers around a corner and sees the horrific sight of the massacred bosses as Silvermane himself in his exo-suit takes a stand against Mr. Negative and a very free Bernard Gou. He attempts to rush the two as Gou presses a button on the remote in his hand. It triggers a large magnet connected to a crane that lifts Manfredi off of the ground and moves him over the car crusher. "You know I had to go to a lot of trouble to orchestrate all of this. I even had to have my office rigged with explosives to take care of your boys back at HQ. So thank you Mr. Manfredi for your cooperation." Gou says as he presses the release button that drops Silvermane in the machine. Sable attempts to help but is petrified with fear, her hands violently shaking. "And say hello to Sable for me won't you?" he presses the button that starts the machine. Sable covers her ears as her father screams out, tears rolling down her face.
"Well that couldn't have gone better if I do say so myself." Gou says as he turns to Mr. Negative who is revealed to be the Chameleon. "Excellent performance. Now I have all the fuel I need to get the rest of the families behind me to fight Negative and his men."
"Thank you for securing my release." Chameleon says as Mysterio appears next to the two.
"Now if you would be so kind Mr. Beck." Gou says as the trio and the false Inner Demons disappear in a large cloud of green smoke, leaving the police baffled.
Sable manages to sneak back out and heads to a small safe house where her equipment is hanging on the walls. She stumbles in and falls to her knees inside, looking at her shaking hands. They suddenly stop shaking as she curls them into fists, silently vowing revenge.
