Framed

(Later at the warehouse during the shootout)

The cops were behind their cars, hiding from the incoming bullets from the gang at the unfinished warehouse. There were 4 out of 9 guys shooting at the cops with heavy guns, while the rest were with Jr who was watching outside with a smile.

"Hey boss? I don't understand any of this." a thug asked their new leader as he angrily turned to look at him.

"And what is it you fail to understand?"

"Well if you say that you can kill the Shadow Walker, then why waste our time doing any of this? I mean the breakout, the murdering, the shootout? People are just going to think-"

"That we're a low level threat!" Jr interrupted as he grabbed him by the neck.

"Until I present myself and the final part to my plan to the Shadow Walker and these humans. That's exactly what I want them to think." He threw the thug against the wall.

"Yo Boss! The Shadow Walker is here!" Jr smiled as he heard so. He walked over to where the hooked handed thug was at to see the Shadow Walker's car pull up.

"What are your orders boss?" He asked Jr

"Tell the others to spend out in groups. one group of 4, a group of 3, and a group of two to stay here." He began to walk away from him.

"Wait where are you going? and what about the cops?" he shouted.

"What I'm doing is none of you're concern and don't worry about the cops. By the time they show of, they will be shooting at the Shadow Walker rather than us."

(Outside)

The cops were still shooting outside at the thugs. After a minutes, both sides were ordered to hold their fire. The cops were to stop as the bullets stopped firing and the thugs were ordered to run inside to split into two groups of 3 and spread out.

"There running back inside. All units proceed to enter the building!" The chief shouted at his men.

"Sir Look!" The chief looked over at the top of the building to see Shadow hopping inside the building. The chief looked anger as he and the cops ran towards the entrance.

(Inside the warehouse)

The Shadow Walker fell into a room. As he fell down, he slowly stood up and looked around the dark room. He looked around some more, hoping to see some light around or something. He then saw 4 flashlights pointing toward him suddenly. This was followed by gunshots to his face. He was attacked by the same group that shot at the cops earlier. The bullets hitting him in his face made it hard for him to see them. He took cover near some rubble as he crawled quickly, trying to get around them.

"Where is he? Where did he go!"

"I'm not sure? The gun fires were to flashing too much to see where he went."

"He's still around here somewhere. Keep your guard up guys." The thugs shouted as they looked around the room with their flashlights pointing all over the room looking for the Shadow Walker. One of the thugs saw something fly towards him. It was a small metal ball that fell to the ground near the 4 thugs.

"What the hell?" the thug thought as he picked up the ball from the ground. Suddenly one of them saw the Shadow Walker slowly get up from the ground.

"Quick there he is Shoot Him!" He shouted.

All of a sudden, the metal ball that was in the thug's hand exploded with smoke. Appearing to had been a smoke bomb. The thug holding in was now knocked out from the blast as the other 3 thugs began shooting. Shadow now had the upper hand as he was able to see though the smoke thanks to his helmet. He easily defeated the other 3 thugs in the smoke. He quickly tied them up and left to go after the rest of them.

Unaware that Dark M Jr slowly appeared shortly afterwards. He looked at the thugs as two of them awoke from being knocked out.

"Jr! Thank god, boy are we glad to see you." One of the thugs responded to an un-amused faced Jr. He walked over to pick up one of the guns dropped by a thug.

"Quick, untie us so we can get out of here before the cops show up."

"no…..There is no "we" anymore." Jr said as he shot the thug multiple times with the gun he picked up.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" The other awake thug shouted as Jr shot and kill him along with the other two thugs in the group. Jr threw the gun to the side as he looked at the now dead thugs. He quickly took off as he heard cops nearby.

Shadow was running, searching for the remaining 5 thugs in the unfinished building. He slowly down as he came across 3 more thugs walking in front of him. They began shooting at him as he managed to hit one of them with one of his electric knifes. The blade stabbed him in his heg as he was stunned.

"Crap, he got one of our guys. We should go get more guys to help."

"NO you're staying here! The boss told us to split into groups."

"At least I now know they are working from someone." Shadow thought as he quickly hopped onto the ceiling and crawled quickly towards them. They tried shooting him but he was quicker than their shots.

"Screw this!" The cowardly thug screamed as he ran away.

"You cowardly bastard!" The thug screamed as he pointed his gun towards him running, ready to kill him for disobeying his orders. He was however stopped by a punch to the face by the Shadow Walker. He then quickly ran off to stop the cowardly thug.

As he left, Jr appeared again. He walked to the thug with the knife to his leg and aggressively removed it. The thug screamed as Jr kneel down and stabbed him multiple times with the electric blade to his head. Shocking his brains and killing him in a painful manner. He looked around and noticed that there was a thug missing from this group of 3. He got up to wake up the other thug in the room. Shaking him quickly as he awoke.

"I assigned three of you in this group, Where did the other one go?"

"That coward ran off and left me to the Shadow Walker. I hope that bastard gets a hell of a beating from him." He thug barely spoke as Jr growled.

"Great now I have a rat to kill." He looked down with a kind smile on his face.

"Thank you, you're services are no longer required." He said as he raised his arms up in the air, forming fist as he smashed the thugs skull.

The group of cops, lead by their chief of police, ran inside the building and found themselves near the area where Shadow entered from. They looked around the place with their flashlights as one of the cops found the dead bodies of the tied up thugs Jr had shot earlier.

"Are they…." The chief said worriedly.

"There dead sir, Shot down multiple times to death." The officer told him. The chief had no real clue who kill them. But besides the thugs and his men, The Shadow Walker wasn't on either side. Making him a prime suspect for now.

"Move out!" He commanded as the cops moved forward into the building.

The cowardly thug was running for his life. The Shadow Walker was getting closer as he ran on all fours after him. The thug was freaking out as he ran. He knew as soon as the Shadow Walker caught him, he would be beaten up like last time as be sent to jail. But he also saw how cruel Jr was. He couldn't imagine what he would do to him if he found out he failed him.

"Wait, I know what to do!" He stopped running and threw his gun to the side. He then turned around to face the running Shadow Walker and raised his hands in the air.

"ALRIGHT YOU WIN! I GIVE UP DON'T HURT ME!" The Shadow Walker stood up and pushed him against the wall.

"Who are you working for?"

"W-what?"

"Earlier, you and the other thug talked about a "boss" that you had orders from. Who do you work for!?"

"I-I-I can't. You don't understand. If I told you that, He would kill us, Literally murder us if we told you!" Shadow Walker saw the fear in the thug and tried to calm him down a bit.

"It's alright, I promise. No one is going to-" suddenly Shadow heard and saw a bullet, He saw it hit the man's neck as it was aggressively gushing from his neck. More bullets went flying as he took the shot thug into cover. As the bullets stopped shooting. Shadow looked upon the thug to see that he was dead.

"Dammit, whoever killed him really doesn't want others to know who he is."

Jr stood there with a sniper rifle that a thug took for the store. The barrel was smoking from the shots fired.

"God do I hate squealers. All they do is try to ruin everything." Jr quickly took off from the area right before Shadow could see him. Shadow now had to find the last 2 thugs and the person who silenced the thug who gave up.

The cops were now at the scene where Jr killed the two goons. They saw the goon with the knife in his head first . His head was mostly burned and fried. One cop pulled it out from his head and accidentally touched the blade, causing him to be stunned.

"Well, that explains why this goon is fried." The captain said as other cop wanted him to come see something nearby. He walked over to see a thug with his head smashed. The captain had a hard time looking as he saw blood, brains, and bones scattered around the body.

"What could had done this sir?"

"The Shadow Walker did this, He must be the killer we have been looking for, The one who killed Tony, and these thugs we found so far. Listen up everyone! I want all of you to hunt down the rest of the thugs and the Shadow Walker, Make sure you stay in groups. I want this man taken down along with the other thugs."

The hooked hand thug was in a different, higher part of the building along with another thug nearby. He was trying to call the other thugs, unaware of their fates caused by Jr.

"Hello? HELLO? Will somebody answer this thing? Screw this, where the hell is that blue eyed son of a bitch?! This plan of his is going nowhere." He threw his walkie talkie away to go see if the other thug was still there. He walked into the room he last saw him and still saw him there on the couch.

"Thank god you're still around. Listen we have to get out of here before the Shadow Walker or the cops get us." The thugs back was towards him on the couch as he still sat there.

"Didn't you hear me man? We're bailing out of this plan. Jr is on his own." The thug still sat there, not making a sound.

"Hello?! I'm talking to you man!" He walked over to face the thug. His eyes widened in horror as he saw that the thug sitting was already dead. His throat had been cut open, blood still dripping down his neck. Mean that he had been dead for awhile.

"What the hell is this?! Whats going on here?!"

"Simple….." He looked over to see bright red eyes staring at him. The man walked out of the shadows to reveal himself to the thug. It was an unmasked Shadow Walker.

"So...Ready to lose more body parts?" he smiled as he showed off his teeth, ready to kill him. The thug then ran off. Running for his life screaming "help" as the Shadow Walker chased him.

Lost and having no idea where he was, he quickly walked while keeping an eye open for the shooter around. Shadow stopped as he heard someone screaming "help" from afar.

Still running for his life, the hooked handed thug ran as fast as he could. Having no clue where he was or where he was going while running. But he couldn't stop running. But he didn't have any choice as he reached a dead end. The cliff would kill him from this height if he fell. He fell a gunshot hit his right leg. Making him trip over the ledge. He quickly and managed the grab hold of the metal ledge with his hook hands. Things only looked worse for him as the "Shadow Walker" chasing him growled as he held the gun that he shot him with in his hand. He laughed as he crushed the gun with his hand.

"I….I don't understand? I knew you. You imprison us, beat us up, hell you can cripple us. But killing? Heroes like you aren't suppose to kill people like some kind of animal." He kneel down to the thug and pretended to think.

"You know you're right, heroes aren't supposed to kill." He grabbed him by the neck and pull him closer to him. However, the "Shadow Walker's" appearance began to change. His suit changed into a black long leather jacket, His cape and mask disappeared, and his eyes changed from red to blue.

"It's a good thing I'm not a hero then." Jr began to laugh while leaving the thug very confused.

"B-but how? How did you?"

"Did I forget the mention that I have an sweet ability to shape-shift? Hahaha, Oh I just love using this ability to trick people like you. It makes it fun to see your reactions when I change back to my original look."

"Why are you doing this to us? We're a team remember?" The thug tried to beg for mercy. But Jr had none.

"Wrong, you and the rest were nothing to me. Just a small part to my plan that is now almost finished. You see, I had already killed the others awhile ago. I did that so when the cops show up and see the mess, They will think that the Shadow Walker did it not me. Soon I'll have both the cops and the insects of this town against him." he began to laugh like a maniac as the thug quietly laughed to.

"Good luck with that you dumb bastard. If you're plan works, then he'll hid and finding him won't be a walk in the part for you."

"Oh I don't think that it would be a problem for me. Because I didn't need to look for him….. I just need to look for his little Sammy." He finished as he dropped him off the ledge. The thug was screaming loudly as he was falling to his death. The Shadow Walker ran as fast as he could to save the thug. But as soon as he got to the area, It was too late….

The Thug had fallen to his death, blood splattering all over the room and some on the Shadow Walker. He looked around the bloody room as he walked over to the last dead thug. He kneel down and closed his dead eyes. Even though he was a thug that mostly cared about himself, He still didn't deserve to die like this. To Shadow, only 3 of the thugs were dead, the shot thug, the one with the cut throat, and the one in front of him. But Jr knew that they were all dead. He stood there above the Shadow Walker, smiling as his plan was coming to action. He quickly took off again as Shadow looked up. Thinking that someone was there. He wasn't very sure if the thug fell or if he was pushed to his death.

"FREEZE! DON'T MOVE CREEP!" Shadow Walkers eyes widened as two cops showed up in the area. He raised his hands high in the air, wanting to show them that he meant no harm. However, as Shadow turned around to face them, he had forgotten the blood that was on him. The cops quickly noticed and panicked.

"The captain was right, THAT MONSTER KILLED THEM! QUICK SHOOT IT!"

"NO WAIT!" Shadow tried to get them to listen, but they didn't care as they began to shoot at him. He quickly hopped onto a few ledges and escaped from the shooting. He was now a criminal and a monster to the police…

…..Completing Jr's plan.

(10:36 PM at Sammy's house)

Sammy, Jasmine, and Zoey were still awake on the couch. While the others were asleep on the floor. They sat on the couch watching T.V. while Sammy explained to them about the things that happened in her room with Amy and Shadow. Jasmine and Zoey were a bit unsure about Amy turning over a new leaf. But they were still happy that Sammy was happy. Zoey change the channel to the new news channel. They saw the reports that Shadow was a killer, framed for all the killings caused but Jr. Sammy couldn't believe her eyes.

"How could they say something like that about him? Shadow would never kill anybody." Sammy was upset that the news were calling her sweet and kind hero a monster.

"It's alright Sammy, they're just a bunch of idiots to say something like that about him, you can't always believe what you hear on T.V." Jasmine said as she calmed Sammy.

"Yeah, I'm just worried about how many people are going to think that this stuff is true." Zory saw as she changed the channel. Sammy looked over to the windows to see all the lights in the town.

"Please be alright out there."

On the rooftops in town, Shadow was looking over at the streets. He looked over and saw on the T.V.'s in a store how the news was now calling him the "Shadow Killer" He growled as he walked over to sit on a vent on the rooftop. He sat there rethinking about the moment before he took off. "The captain was right, THAT MONSTER KILLED THEM! QUICK SHOOT IT!"

"I need to go see Sammy, She can cheer me up." He said as he quickly ran off.

Dark M Jr sat down on a nearby rooftop. He had a random person tied up next to him. Saving her for later when he was hungry as he was writing on a piece of paper. On the paper was a "to-do" list for his on going plan.

"Find out where Shadow lives? Check." He said to himself as he crossed out the question.

"Find/kill Tony? Check." He crossed out again.

"Kill people? Check…..But I'll continue with that one." He said as he skipped over to the next question.

"Frame Shadow? Check." He looked over as he had no more questions.

"Well then...I guess it's time to move on to the next steps." he took his pen and began to write.

"Find Sammy? Very soon." he thought sinisterly as he heard a growl come from his stomach.

"Well then…." He looked over to the tied up person.

"...Time for me to eat"
