The Wrath of Muggshot!
First on our list was the vicious assassin, Dr. Freakshow. At first, he was just an ordinary scientist. Then one day an experiment went terribly wrong…and the mad maestro was caught right in the blast of his new machine, the mutation ray. The ray could mutate and amplify the human mind, but instead it just turned the unlucky person into a deadly monster. Freakshow, being turned into a half crocodile, half tiger thing, didn't quite take the mockery as lightly as I did back as a child and just went nuts, earning him a spot as the Killer Six's mechanic. He holds my Uncle Rick Mcfox's blue power gem, which gives the user incredible speed and intelligence. He was last seen in the large city of Mesa, our first destination for our big mission…
Nick dashed along the rocky plains of the outskirts of the city. He took out his communicator and binoculars. "Hey Jerry, isn't this place supposed to packed with residents?" Nick asked. "Well it appears that the residents are held hostage by Dr. Freakshow." Jerry answered. "You mean in that large, vicious looking castle?" Nick replied
"Exactly Nick, you should look around to see if there are any residents still hiding from the deadly doctor."
"Alright then…"
Nick put away his things and went into the streets to look for any residents, that haven't been mutated by the deadly ray. He searched the alleyways; the empty streets even looked in the busted houses. Nick was ready to give up when he saw a shadow lurking on the rooftops. His ears perked up and he listened carefully for the stranger. Just then he turned around and was whacked clean on the head by a chair. Nick shook it off. A girl no older than him was panting with the two legs of the chair still in hand. It looked like she was used in one of the mutations, but just escaped, she had a fox tail like him and her teeth had turned into fangs. She had green eyes and two fox ears poking out of her yellow hair. "You're not taking me back there to be turned into those freaks!" The girl cried. "What're you talking about?" Nick asked, still dazed by the knock on the head. The girl just stared and narrowed her eyes. "You went and killed my parents…and I'll never forgive you for that!"
Dr. Freakshow was just finishing the final touches on an old foe of Sly Cooper's. "Well sir how do you feel?" The doctor asked. "I feel just great now Mr. Freakshow." said the hulking shadow. "The mutations have altered your DNA by making you twice as strong as you ever were." Freakshow continued. "So, Muggshot you ready to take out an old enemy of mine?" "No problem Dr. Freakshow." Muggshot said with an evil grin.
Nick stood there, rubbing the bruise on his head, the girl just smirked. "You know I'm much tougher than that." The girl muttered. Nick cocked an eyebrow. "And I thought I had attitude…" She lunged at Nick. Nick just sighed and kneed her clean in her stomach, leaving her unconscious. Nick was waiting in his hand made hide out for the girl to wake up. Suddenly she shook her head and jumped up grabbing a nearby pipe and holding it high in the air. "I'll whack your head clean off you monster!" she cried. Nick sighed and reached into a paper bag he had in handy. "So tell me miss…" Nick began. "Serena, my name's Serena." She said. "Serena, have you had anything to eat?" Nick asked. "Yes I have!" Serena cried. Her stomach gave a low growl, she groaned. "Okay I haven't had anything for two weeks…" Nick took out a paper plate, which had on it a drumstick with mashed potatoes with gravy and some corn. Serena's mouth watered, she shook her head. "This could be a trick…" Serena growled. Nick just shook his head. "Are you this cautious all the time?" Serena stared for a moment, and then she couldn't help it any longer. She grabbed the food and gorged on it. "Slow down Serena!" Nick said. "You'll choke on your food!"
Serena finished in less than a minute and took a deep breath. "Thanks, sorry I hit you on the head before." Serena said with a little guilt knowing that she hit an unexpected fox on the head. "Ah, its okay, it heals over time!" Nick cried trying not to make her feel bad. Suddenly a hulking shadow slammed his fist clean into Nick's stomach. He choked some blood up. Serena was frozen in terror. Muggshot gave a low roar and smirked. "So this is the Fox kid I've been hearing so much about eh?" Serena hit Muggshot over the head with the pole she picked up earlier. Not even a single flinch to the blow, Muggshot grabbed her in his huge arms and squeezed her until she gasped and fell unconscious. "There! Freakshow I'm coming with a new experiment!" Muggshot snickered. He held the two in hand and headed back to the lab.
