Circus of crime HQ

Fair in Central Park.

The Circus Of Crime where ready for their biggest heist yet.

The new Ringmaster had gathered up all the original members including 30 new members including a Brainwashed Matador, Man - Bull (as a Sideshow attraction) and Batroc the leaper, in all their where 50 criminals ready to rob the rich people that would be here as the fair outside was only opened to the rich and famous.

Little did they know that by the end of the day 50 body bags would be off to the morgue.

"Common people, hurry it up the show starts in two hours and at this rate it'll be Showtime and we'll be unprepared." The Ringmaster shouted. "Do not rush the Leaper or you might be on the receiving end of a severe ass kicking from the resident Savate master." Batroc replied. "You want to be a multi - billionaire or not." "What do you think?" "Then get to work."

"Circus of Crime." The Ringmaster turned around and saw a tall African American come in. "Yes and when I'm finished with you you'll forget that we're here." The Ringmaster tried to Hypnotise the man but to his horror it had no effect. "Oh please, I came prepared for this job." Just then the African American touched his wrist and in his place was Target, without a word he pulled out two of his machine guns and opened fire.

The Ringmaster was the first to die followed by Batroc and Matador as the bullets passed through Ringmaster and into Batroc and Matador.

But Target was far from done.

1hr and 50 minuets later.

All around Target dead bodies lay, he hadn't stopped at just the three criminals and had killed 49 out of the 50 criminals in attendance the only one left standing was Cannonball who Target was saving for last.

Cannonball stepped over the dead bodies cautesly, he stepped over Princess Python's and the Clown's bodies before reaching Target who attempted to fire but his machine guns where out off ammo.

Cannonball charged with his head down but Target side stepped and delivered a vicious Karate Chop to the back of Cannonball's head, he grabbed the criminal by the throat and got out one of his fresh Machine Guns and aimed it at Cannonball's forehead.

"You where a fool to challenge me Cannonball, I am the best Scourge Agent and no one is a match for my abilities." With that he fired all twenty rounds of his machine gun into Cannonball's Skull killing him, he tossed Cannonball aside.

"Justice is served." "Operative, I trust the killing of the Circus Of Crime was a success." Came a voice through Target's earpiece. "Of course, there was one who thought back but he was quickly dealt with." "Excellent, but your talents are needed once again, a Scourge Agent has been captured at the Hospital where the Human Torch is being held, I think you know what to do." Understood." With that Target touched his left wrist taking up the appearance of the African American and left the tent.

The Hospital roof.

19:00

"Dad what where you thinking?" Kat asked her dad who was tied to a chair, Tombstone was with her. "And you'd better tell us what we want to know soon or I'm going to drop ya off the roof." Kat glared at him. "What? Someone has to play bad cop." "All I wanted to do was eliminate the threat of the Super Criminal and make you proud Kat." "Make me proud? You're a high ranking police sergeant why wouldn't I be proud?" Kat asked getting more confused by the minute. "Actually I lied about that, I quit the NYPD several months ago when I was approached by Target." "So he is a Scourge Agent." "Yes, he is one of the higher ranking officials, you can tell because he uses those Machine Guns whilst the lower ranking ones use Shawn Off Shotguns." "That's interesting Dad but what we need is the location of the Scourge's HQ." "And make it snappy before I snap your arm like a twig." Kat glared at Tombstone

"Alright, I'll talk."

Unknown to the two heroes Target was watching them from a high tree top via a viewfinder, he upholstered one of his machine guns and took aim making sure that neither American Dragon or Tombstone would be hit. He placed his hand to his earpiece and contacted Kat's Dad.

"Ching, you know what fate awaits a captured Scourge Agent." Ching's eyes widened. "No, please." Kat took Ching's earpiece and spoke into it. "Who is this?" "Ah American Dragon, if I where you I'd keep an eye on the Scourge Agent you captured." Kat turned her attention to the Scourge Agent, suddenly Target fired with his Machine Gun and Ching found himself with four bullet holes through his chest. "Katrina, my child….I'm sorry." Ching's body went limp.

Next time on Shaddow Of The Scourge

Kat's on the warpath and teams up with Punisher to take down the Scourge Organisation regardless of how lopsided the battle is.
