Synopsis: Stephanie, aka Psyche, was part of a US Government experiment, codenamed Urban Predator. The aim of the experiment was to produce assassins and educate them from a very young age. The experiment was compromised and ultimately abandoned, leaving the last two victims alone to deal with their altered minds. One of the victims was Miranda Swedlow, aka Night-Bitch, aka Aurora. She knew that only one person could help her and that person was Dave Lizewski, aka Kick-Ass. On hearing about Stephanie and her lost childhood, Mindy Lizewski, aka Hit Girl, began another crusade, this time to destroy those responsible for destroying yet another young girl's childhood.

Experience 30+ chapters of non-stop Fusion fun, Hit Girl fury and Kick-Ass action...

...+..._...+..._...+...

...as Fusion travel to the UK...

...+..._...+..._...+...

"Alexander Cartwright. You fought his team the other day – just got
facial recognition on him. Turns out the guy is on Mindy's watch list..."

...+..._...+..._...+...

"I can't go into detail . . . I need to brief you in person . . . I'm coming to see you..."

...+..._...+..._...+...

With that, I ran over the bridge and elbowed the first man in the face – he
carried what looked suspiciously like a four-foot long fence post!

...+..._...+..._...+...

"No more?" Jackal enquired enthusiastically.

"Wait until the pubs turn out, then you'll have plenty..."

...+..._...+..._...+...

"Eight against twenty-seven – hardly seems fair . . . for them."

...+..._...+..._...+...

I quickly severed both hands on the up-swing and stabbed him through the heart
with my Tanto. I turned to take down the third man, but he was already falling –
strangely his head seemed to hover before following the rest of his body.

...+..._...+..._...+...

...the situation quickly escalates...

...+..._...+..._...+...

"Waterloo Station, south entrance, thirty minutes..."

"Who is this?"

"They call me Hit Girl..."

...+..._...+..._...+...

"We're safe, Dad . . . Mindy's driving..."

"Do I hear sirens? Are you being chased?"

"Not exactly... Mindy's driving a Police car and we're doing fifty
towards Marylebone and Paddington with blues and twos..."

...+..._...+..._...+...

The pair of red-painted BMW X5 Police SUVs appeared out of nowhere, just as
we reached a fairly clear section of road, both SUVs heading directly towards us.

...+..._...+..._...+...

...and then after a member of their team is kidnapped...

...+..._...+..._...+...

"I don't know who you are, I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can
tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have
acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you
let the girl go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you; I will not pursue you.
But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."

...+..._...+..._...+...

...they travel to continental Europe where they meet new vigilantes...

...+..._...+..._...+...

As of 2016, real vigilantes existed in Chicago, New York City, Gotham and Star City.
As for Europe, there was a new vigilante organisation growing in Scotland, while on
the main continent, there was just one known real vigilante – and she was in Paris...

"Bonne soirée, Hit Girl!"

I turned slowly to see a slim figure crouched on the rooftop, not twenty feet away. I smiled
on recognising one of the very few other, serious, vigilantes that operated in the world.

...+..._...+..._...+...

...and tour (actually, fight across) Europe, beginning with France...

...+..._...+..._...+...

"You hungry, Steph?"

"Hell, yeah!"

"Killing gives you an appetite, doesn't it?"

...+..._...+..._...+...

The Audi RS6 executed a perfect power slide as it hit the Place Charles de Gaulle that encircled
the Arc de Triomphe. The red RS3 promptly followed suit, determined not to be out-done. But
before the blue RS3 could follow, an unmarked grey Citroen C5 with blue lights appeared.

...+..._...+..._...+...

We came around a corner and found eight French National Police
RAID Officers and they instantly raised their rifles toward us.

"Arrêtez! Levez vos mains!"

...+..._...+..._...+...

...they race to recover their kidnapped colleague...

...+..._...+..._...+...

The girl hung from the ceiling in the centre of the room. Her once beautiful,
naked body, all five-feet-seven-inches of it, was now covered in bruises and
blood from head to toe. She was unconscious, her long brown hair hanging
free, her skin covered in sweat from her ordeal. The room stank, from the
pool of urine at the young girl's feet as well as from the sweat and blood.

...+..._...+..._...+...

...before it is too late...

...+..._...+..._...+...

The man held up a piece of copper rod, about two-foot-long and two inches in
diameter with a wooden handle. There was a length of electrical cable attached
to the rod and it seemed very obvious where the rod was going to be inserted.

...+..._...+..._...+...

...no limits are set to finding her...

...+..._...+..._...+...

"We need some questions answered. You cooperate and we all go home –
you don't cooperate; I get to have some fun. So please, don't cooperate..."

...+..._...+..._...+...

The drill span up to speed and rapidly cut through the flesh of the man's
thigh. He screamed, as the blood streamed from the wound and there was
a grating noise as the drill bit found the bone and easily cut through and
continued until the chuck was half an inch from the man's bruised skin.

...+..._...+..._...+...

"Now, what many people don't know is that it takes skill to electrocute somebody,
where only pain is inflicted, but not death. Well, not immediately anyway..."

...+..._...+..._...+...

...the team visit other countries: Germany...

...+..._...+..._...+...

"Dad?"

"Yeah, honey?"

"Why is Mom smirking like that – it's scaring me..."

Mindy began to put her foot down . . . she held it there. We flashed past a blue
Audi RS3 as we approached 152 kilometres-per-hour. We were rapidly passing
200kph and advancing on 250kph . . . I studied the fuel gauge as we slowed.

"After that gas guzzling exercise, we had better stop for gas, sweetheart, or we're walking!"

...+..._...+..._...+...

It was red from hood to trunk and it somehow made a Mustang look like a Model-T Ford in
comparison. The car had a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 engine and could rocket past 155 mph,
reaching sixty in 4.2 seconds. Sitting on black 20-inch alloy wheels, I was getting wet just
staring at the subtle curves and muscular shape of the hood and flared wheel arches...

...+..._...+..._...+...

...Switzerland and Italy...

...+..._...+..._...+...

Stephanie screamed as several bullets struck her chest. I pulled out my pistol and emptied
the magazine into the man as he came towards us. As the man fell to the tarmac, I switched
out the empty magazine for a loaded one and turned to Stephanie who was writhing in pain.

...+..._...+..._...+...

"You're forgetting who your mother is!" I chuckled.

Mindy walked over to the RS3, calmly opened the passenger door and pulled the pins
from a pair of grenades before dumping both of them inside the car. She casually closed
the door, locked the RS3, walked around to the other side of the RS6 and calmly climbed in.

"Better move, Dave!"

...+..._...+..._...+...

"Orange juice for the lady, and a medium-dry vodka Martini for myself, shaken – not stirred..."

"You must be Mindy; Harm was nowhere near the mark when he told me how beautiful you
are . . . Deputy Director Clayton Webb . . . Mindy Lizewski, please meet MI6's best agent..."

...+..._...+..._...+...

Abby was standing astride a man.

"You want to assimilate my data?" She yelled as she drew her pistol. "Assimilate this!"

...+..._...+..._...+...

...Fusion goes back to sea...

...+..._...+..._...+...

Chloe watched the large yacht departing with their prey.

The yacht was huge!

"We'll catch 'em..." Mindy said confidently.

"You know, Mindy, if we're gonna be chasing that thing – you're gonna need a bigger boat!"

Mindy smirked and Chloe groaned, "What have you done...?"

As if on cue, Mindy turned seaward and Chloe stared as a behemoth came around
the headland at speed. Within two minutes, it had passed through the breakwater
and was soon backing down hard as it spun and slowly came alongside the dock.

"No fucking way!"

...+..._...+..._...+...

Once free of the shore, we increased speed to thirty-five knots . . . the pursuit had begun...

...+..._...+..._...+...

"Okay, people – this is not a pleasure cruise . . . I want you all familiar
with this vessel, her electronic systems and her weapons systems..."

...+..._...+..._...+...

Stephanie and Megan screamed as they flew backwards and fell the ten feet to the water.

...+..._...+..._...+...

"Get the fuck off me!" I growled. "What's going on?"

I tried to scramble towards the door as Dave responded.

"Damned if I know, but I think we're sinking!"

..+..._...+..._...+...

The forward M134 mini-guns ripped out... After several bursts there was a large explosion...

..+..._...+..._...+...

...reinforcements are required...

...+..._...+..._...+...

I saw four people advancing towards me down the sidewalk.

"Mindy!" Curtis called out and he hugged me tightly.

"Hi, Mindy," Morgan said with a grin.

"How's the family?" I asked the third person.

"Doing well, Mindy," Kim replied, giving me a hug.

The fourth person seemed much more apprehensive.

"Hi, SD – welcome to Gibraltar."

...+..._...+..._...+...

Leaning against the glacier white Clio RenaultSport, was a stunning young woman. Her
hair was black, with pale blue highlights and hung loosely across her shoulders.

"Nice!" Joshua commented.

"The car or the French tart?" Chloe enquired with menace in her tone.

"The car – definitely the car..."

"Bonjour mes amis!"

...+..._...+..._...+...

...there is tragedy...

...+..._...+..._...+...

"I'm so sorry Mindy – she was thrown... Her neck's broken."

...+..._...+..._...+...

"Grenade!"

Trojan's yell caused all heads to turn in his direction. The explosive device
flew through the air. Trojan was moving, running hard towards Wildcat –
he shoved her out of the way hard, sending her rolling across the road.

...+..._...+..._...+...

My gaze fixed on the point of the blade, but then his left hand came up and he punched
me in the right breast. The pain was immense and I screamed out and struggled to breathe.
He followed up with a punch to my stomach, which caused me to struggle to breathe and
I coughed for a few minutes before the pain and sensation went away.

...+..._...+..._...+...

"Yes, she'll be fine."

"She saved our lives, didn't she...?"

"Yes, she did – I am very proud of her."

...+..._...+..._...+...

"Why?"

"I had to protect you..."

"No – you can't die..."

"It happens and you know that..."

...+..._...+..._...+...

Mindy and Dave stopped at what was obviously a fresh grave. I froze as a I saw the gravestone.

"When did...? How did...?"

"After she died, I used my contacts to have her body recovered and repatriated."

"Thank you."

...+..._...+..._...+...

...there is happiness...

...+..._...+..._...+...

I was being carried and as I looked up, opening my eyes I suddenly became overcome
with relief as I recognised Kick-Ass. The dam broke and I sobbed, tears streaming down
my face and my body wracked with pain as I sobbed. They had come for me – Fusion
had come for me. I pushed my face into his armoured chest, savouring the comfort.

...+..._...+..._...+...

I felt immense relief as two of the four most important people in my life climbed down from
the bullet-riddled vehicle. I ran forwards and grasped both of them into an enormous hug,
gripping them tightly. I felt two more people joining the hug, which seemed to go on for ever.

...+..._...+..._...+...

...there is pleasure...

...+..._...+..._...+...

"In the past three weeks, I've had sex in six countries..."

...+..._...+..._...+...

...there is revenge...

...+..._...+..._...+...

Both girls were out of control, and I knew it – but I did nothing to stop them. They
needed the outlet and they needed the closure. The woman looked towards me for
help, but I just stared at her, showing no emotion, except maybe hate. There were
still the sounds of sporadic gunfire in the corridors as the final few were routed.

...+..._...+..._...+...

"You made me kill my family..." Stephanie growled angrily, her face contorted and red with rage.

...+..._...+..._...+...

...there is closure...

...+..._...+..._...+...

"You made me what I am... You made me a killer... Now, I am going to kill you... Poetic, isn't it!"

...+..._...+..._...+...

...Hit Girl, Kick-Ass, and Fusion race to take down the worst criminal scum, as that
very same criminal scum try desperately to defend themselves and take down Fusion
while keeping the furious and vengeful Hit Girl and her lethal team at arm's length.
