Psychopathic Cyber-Clowns

A big bear and a vixen, the bear in the kind of clothes you would expect from a cyberpunk biker, black leather pants with combat boots to match and black leather trench coat open to reveal a black t-shirt with a scarlet bear claw on it, especially one the others ironically call "Tiny", while the vixen looks like she might be a cyberpunk ninja, all in black but semi revealing to show off her assets, stroll through what can only be called an amusement park in the style of the boardwalk piers that offer rides of all sorts as well as lots of food that really is not good for most folks. The trash cans and benches all feature a rainbow color scheme and the "Fairgrounds" as the name of the area of Municipal Megaplex #13 that they are meandering about. But the hybrids are not the only ones here as many other species of their kind as well as numerous humans of the various variations of that particular species mill about riding the rides as robots act as attendants and barkers.

The weather is dismal with a light rain pouring down over everyone as the lights up above shine dimly but at least the benches all have glass enclosures so folks can take shelter from the ever oppressive atmospheric conditions that is ever pervasive throughout the megaplex. However, the respite is not quite complete as the speakers built into the benches broadcast a stream of ads interrupted with some circus music with about five minutes of ads per minute of actual music. That is unless you have a special paid filter that reverses the ratio if not complete eliminates the ads entirely which some folks agree to have deducted from their weekly paychecks as a matter of convenience.

Also running around the Fairgrounds is a gang of cyborg clowns that spook a lot of people that come to the area to have fun and entertain others with their antics. The meshing of flesh and metal makes for some extreme performances as their cybernetic eyes change colors at random. Kodyax and Kitsune Kunoichi look askance on the performers as they both have heard stories about how some cyber-clowns are actually serial killers who use the imagery of circus clown to lull victims into a false sense of security before going for the kill.

Sakura "Kitsune Kunoichi" Yamaha is especially disturbed at this as she has heard plans of transforming Battleship Island into a version of these fairgrounds for Municipal Megaplex #66, formerly known as the nation of Japan. She is officially out here on a date with Michael "Kodyax" O'Connor and while Mike and Saki are out here for a good time, she is also looking into the rumors for any truth to them. Mike can be a good distractions as he is 6'7" and tips the scales at 800 pounds although those that think him a fat slob are in for a rude awakening as he can press an eighth of his weight in tons and most small arms fire just bounces off his hide like rain washes off of a raincoat.

The cyber-clowns converge on a group of children as their parents just watch in delight as the clowns do cartwheels and contort themselves in ways thought impossible but are now somewhat attainable with advanced cybernetics. Michael and Sakura exchange worried glances as a strange music starts to pour forth from the integrated speakers in the cybernetic portions of the clowns with something like a certain stable of rap artists prevailing in the style of music being presented. The humans are lulled into a kind of trance as the clowns start to look and act more aggressive as their cybernetic arms turning into rainbow colored chainsaws with neon colored lights flashing in a kind of strobe effect further confusing the humans into inaction.

With evil laughter the cyborg clowns lay into the human on-lookers, about thirty in all, and slaughter each and every one with maintenance robots converging to clean up the carnage as neatly as possible as the clowns turn to the two hybrids and give them a look. Unlike the humans neither Kitsune Kunoichi nor Kodyax are in a trance when the clowns approach to accost them but are fully aware. The clowns exchange glances amongst themselves as they approach and discuss what to do about the witnesses.

"It uh, looks like the humanimals weren't affected by our little show, Jack," One female clown says to her compatriots.

"We can't have that, Gracie," Jack, a fat clown that seems to be in charge. "You freaks better promise not to tell if you know what's good for yas."

"Uh, Jack," a tall thin clown says to his compatriot, "I think I recognize the bear."

"I do to, Ringo," Jack says with a dark smirk. "Hey, Bunko, didn't de Silver Skeleton tell us he was offerin a reward fer anybody that woot take Kodyax down a peg or three?"

"That he did, Jack," a slightly less obese clown says with a nod of the head. "You think we can collect?"

"Let's find out," Jack says and starts to run towards Kodyax.

"Your 'loser' reputation precedes you once again, Mike," Sakura coos with a smirk on her muzzle. "You'd think they'd have learned by now."

"Nope, Saki, never gonna happen," Mike promises. "And in cases like this; I wouldn't have it any other way."

Kodyax drops into a fighting stance like an underground gladiator that often eschews actual weapons in favor of picking something up to smash on someone's person. Kunoichi Kitsune sighs, giggles and shakes her head as she draws a crystal bladed katana that glows a vibrant neon green from its sheathe on her person. The clowns giggle maniacally in a disturbing manner as their arms morph into chainsaws.

The clowns look at Kodyax and Kitsune as if they were pieces of meat ready to be butchered by them as another woman that has green skin, purple hair and solid orange eyes without an iris and black bat wings who gazes at Kodyax intently. Mike barely notices her but Sakura quirks an eye ridge as she takes note of the other. The new comer lurks like a shapely female gargoyle and Kunoichi Kitsune tries to forget the fact she is there as the clowns approach menacingly.

Lady Gargoyle is here to observe, Kodyax specifically as it was her defeat at his hands that led her to approach the Nu Man Group for the treatments that made her the freak she is now. She looks down with outright hatred at Kodyax as she was going places in the Olympus Corporation until she failed to take him down. Now granted she was not as powerful as Kody or as experienced but until that day she believed she could do no wrong and her place as a super heroine was assured.

What she could not have known that the higher ups at Olympus were getting concerned that her star was rising too fast as she came from a lower economic stratum than is normal for someone that gets that powerful that quickly. She got into the curriculum due to certain circumstances the corporations set up to make it look like they were taking care of the working poor and middle class but in truth was just an appeasement meant to do nothing to actually offer advancement to the upper echelons of society. Assigning her to take out Kodyax was a way of giving themselves an out as they knew that Kodyax was too experienced for her to defeat and thus they would have an excuse of denying her entry into the higher echelons of the emerging class.

None of this really matters to Kodyax as he was never privy to the information to start with and unless she was willing to prostitute herself and service him he did not care either. Although in a certain way that is a bit of a conundrum with her as she has other feelings for Kodyax after the fight, since nobody at school, male or female, could beat her no one was worth dating but in a weird twist that fact that the bear could whip her around the arena like a rag doll instituted something strange within as she watches the fight. In fact Kodyax is now showing her just why she fell to him in the first place as she considers tactics to use for round two.

Kodyax is in a mainly defensive posture as he waits for the first attempted strike by the cyber clowns to try and mitigate any collateral damage this skirmish may cause since while Menagerie Park is his home and headquarters but places like the Fairgrounds are open to all citizens of the Megaplex and for that reason he tries not to fight here. The Corporation of Affiliated Reliable Networks of International Video and Audio Limited gives the Meta-human International News Incorporated a public forum to slam vigilantes like himself and a blood bath here would just give them fodder to have a field day on his fuzzy kiester, something he would rather avoid if at all possible.

MINI remote cameras are already on the scene recording the fight so they can use the footage to slaw the vigilante Kodyax somehow on the evening news. As opposed to the Global Underground News Network who has a cyborg reporter who can act as their own cameraman on the scene ready to interview Kodyax when the fight is over and gives color commentary as GUNN broadcasts the fight live on a special server on their website that they keep up and active for just such contingencies. The GUNN reporter is a woman of indeterminate race with cybernetic rainbow hair, obvious cybernetic eyes and metallic limbs, which would make her a quadruple amputee if they were all removed.

"This is Sister Switchblade of the Global Underground News Network coming to you live from the Fairgrounds of Municipal Megaplex #13," She announces through the mask she wears that covers her nose and mouth to protect her from the airborne viruses that now exist but to which Kodyax is largely immune. "Where a team of cyber clowns have just gone rogue and started a rampage," footage of the clowns slaughtering innocents earlier plays in a sidebar window to the main story as Sister Switchblade is recording it in real time. "But fortunately for the other patrons, the Kodyax is here and they have foolishly chosen him as a target, citing the Institutional Negation of Questioning and Undoing Individualization Syndicate of Invalidation Terrorist International Organizational Network's harassment bounty on his head as their reason for doing so. Which does not explain their other attack but knowing Kodyax like I do; it hardly matters, as these clowns just to pick on the wrong mutant." Ringo extends his limbs with slasher claw nails to try and entrap Kodyax but the bear only uses the clown's own limbs to make a pretzel out of him. "The one they call Ringo just tried the old slasher taffy tango move on Kodyax but the bear knows that trick all too well and made a pretzel out of him for it. Good going, Kodyax!"

"Shut yo mouth, bitch!" Lucy, the other lady clown yells as she and Gracie come over to try and kill the reporter when Sakura springs into action, dashing towards them with the blade of her crystal katana low to the ground.

"And what do you think you're gonna do, little miss ninja girlie?" Gracie growls as Sakura just smirks and does a tumbling dash slash that cuts both in two; bisecting them as the two halves fall while she strikes a dramatic pose.

"Kitsune Kunoichi does it again folks!" Sister Switchblade announces proudly. "But it looks like Lucy and Gracie have redundant systems." Both Lucy and Gracie crawl on the ground like zombies as blood, oil and other fluids hemorrhage out of the halves where Sakura cut them.

"Bitch vixen is good, Lucy," Gracie grudgingly admits. "What do we do?"

"We got mortar britches don't we?" Lucy asks facetiously.

"Miss Kunoichi?" Switchblade asks the unneeded to be worded question as Sakura throws glittering kunai at the bottom halves both lady cyber clowns that promptly explode upon impact and obliterates their legs and lower torsos. "Great quick thinking!" To which Kitsune Kunoichi just nods and then goes back to chopping off their heads silently. "Ninja lady is right, Kitsune Kunoichi took care of those two like a shinobi superhero."

"Rush the bum!" Jack orders as he and Bunko try a pincer maneuver to try and take out Kodyax.

"What ye doin', freak?!" Ringo asks as Kodyax grabs him as his brother clowns try to gang up on the bear and realizes what is about to happen. "No! No! No! No! Not that!"

"I guess a brain upgrade wasn't an option when these clowns went cyber," Sister Switchblade quips as she watches Kodyax go to work with great satisfaction in her voice. "Kodyax is now using Ringo as a lasso to capture one or both of his brother clowns and he nets Bunko! He didn't get Jack but I wonder what his next move will be...Oh! I see! Kodyax is using Bunko and Ringo like the hammer in the hammer throw in the Olympic games to try and knock some sense into Jack. But he misses with his initial swing and Oh! That cut looks nasty! Folks, Jack just used his chainsaw arm to try and gut Kodyax like a fish. Fortunately for us he didn't get as much mustard on that as he might have like but I'll but that stung and hurt a lot!"

"De show ain't over, Sistah!" Jack promises as he runs a bit away from Kodyax and then yells back arrogantly: "Hey, Kody! You know the drill, right?!" He then turns himself into a drill missile that gets launched directly at Kodyax.

"Not really, but I'll bet your buddies do!" Kodyax retorts and tosses them at their leader.

"You heard here first folks!" Sister Switchblade announces to all of cyberspace. "Kodyax is about to use members of this troop of cyber clowns against their leader. Let's see how his aim is." Kody's aim is true and the cyber clowns explode when they all collide together. "Good shot!" Shrapnel and fluid shred Kody's clothes and covers him in goop. "Ouch! Costume shredded and covered with slime, I don't want to mean, Kody, but better you than me."

"There is a bath house on the grounds, Mike," Sakura says as she flashes him her boobs and walks away with a hand gesture for him to follow which he does invariably. "Let's get you cleaned off."

Lady Gargoyle giggles to herself and rubs her own crotch as she flies off as if she had won a fight or something. Both Sister Switchblade and Kitsune Kunoichi note the other's passing. Sister Swtichblade recognizes her instantly as the newest success of the Nu Man Group and relates everything she knows about her to the heroes unbidden.

Kodyax rolls his eyes as he hears that Lady Gargoyle used to call herself the Avenging American Amazon and Sakura looks at him strangely until Mike mentions Wendy and the reason she just got out of the hospital a couple of days ago. Then it's Sakura's turn to roll her eyes as she scrubs Kody's body after she gives him a bit of a strip tease moment. Sister Switchblade just watches as Kitsune Kunoichi puts on her show.

Not everyone in the bath house appreciates the show as an arrow comes flying at them from off in the distance. All heads turn to see a human sized rattlesnake with arms and hands like a human as well as a head that is an amalgamation of human and serpent. Sakura and Switchblade retreat as Michael rises from the tub to glare at the snake.

"What's problem now, Poison Arrow?" Kodyax growls in challenge.

"You and every other stinking mammal on this planet, Kodyax," Poison Arrow sneers. "The whole lot of you are unfit to breath in MY air."

"Shaddup!" Kodyax orders as he beans Poison Arrow with a bar of soap which puts him down with a well-aimed toss. "Somebody take out this trash! Or throw him in a time out cage at the very least?" Then he grumbles to himself. "Fucking snake and his fucking attitude, if we didn't need him as a guard in Menagerie Park, I would have ended his pathetic existence long ago."

Robots with traditional clown skins drag the unconscious Poison Arrow out of the area as Sakura gently drags Michael back into the in ground bathing recession in the floor. Once his body is completely immersed in the hot water, Sakura rubs body wash shampoo into his fur in a sensual manner with especial care given to his genital area. This naturally gets him very excited sexually, which what she wants although once the goo is washed off the result makes Sakura pause as she regards him warily.

In the day and age everyone lives in, strange beings with strange colors is nothing new, Lady Gargoyle being a case in point. But Kodyax now finds that his fur is a deep purple with green hair, green arms and legs as well as green eyes that glow in the near light which completely obliterates any other visible item in said eyes. The over all effect is more than a little bit creepy until Sakura gets a good look at his cock and finds it green as well.

Sakura giggles uncontrollably as she gets his jolly green giant of a phallus to stand straight and true with a combination of rubbing and her suckling it. Beyond a weird color there is nothing wrong with his member as the Prince Albert piercing is still there along with the rings on his scrotum that make sex with him such a treat. In fact Sister Switchblade is interested in what he looks like as well as other things about him as she gets very close in proximity to him.

NinjaVixen: How soon till you can be active again, Wendy?

RunGunBun: A day or two why? Where are you? I could use some cuddling. I want something between my legs but I can't find Kody.

NinjaVixen: I'm in the Fairgrounds Bath House with him now. There was a fight with the cyber clowns.

RunGunBun: Something happened didn't it?

NinjaVixen: You could say that.

RunGunBun: How bad? We humanimals are especially vulnerable to mutation.

NinjaVixen: He's purple now with a green cock.

RunGunBun: Green cock? I wanna ride!

NinjaVixen: I'm riding now, besides color nothing's changed.

RunGunBun: I liked sleeping with him before...

NinjaVixen: Well then, get your tail over here, Sister Switchblade is practically salivating.

RunGunBun: Be there in a jiff, I just hope the nanites that keep him up longer are working as advertised tonight. And what does the GUNN girl want? She's usually a watcher.

RunGunBun: And when did you start using this text tag?

NinjaVixen: *sigh* The company that bought the contract out from under the client I was using is HQed out in the bible belt.

RunGunBun: Which means anything other American English is verboten. Just yiffing great.

NinjaVixen: Yiff?

RunGunBun: How long have you been in MP, Sakura?

NinjaVixen: Not long enough apparently, Wendy.

RunGunBun: You are Mike's to dance aren't you?

NinjaVixen: O.O I'm yiffing now?

RunGunBun: *bobbleheads*

NinjaVixen: Is this and American humanimal thing?

RunGunBun: Still thinking last century I see. Back when there was still an America it was a fur culture thing. Kemono culture in MM66 didn't have something similar?

NinjaVixen: I don't think so. When are you coming in here? I want you too.

RunGunBun: Greedy little bitch aren't we? I'm almost there.

NinjaVixen: I hear gun fire

RunGunBun: Nothing wrong with your ears. The clowns are playing rough. Fuckers do not take no for an answer.

NinjaVixen: Well at least Clown Hammer is off line for now. Kody has trouble with him.

RunGunBun: Saki, he's on my radar. Clown Hammer is active.

NinjaVixen: Not good, can you see him?

RunGunBun: Nope, I have the mini-map active in hyperspace. Clown Hammer is someone I have a tag for. You and Kody do too, BTW.

NinjaVixen: Something nice I hope.

Kodyax: She has heart icons for us, Saki

RunGunBun: Have you been ghosting?"

NinjaVixen: How long?

Kodyax: You slow down when you text, Saki, I know when your sexting Wendy while riding me.

RunGunBun: And I have both of you in my MIA text feed as a matter of course.

NinjaVixen: The wonders of modern technology. ;)

NinjaVixen: Wait, what is going on?

Sister Switchblade, who has caramel colored skin with short green hair and purple eyes as well as cybernetic arms and legs that are obviously chrome, has decided she wants a turn on Kody's disco stick now that Sakura is otherwise occupied. Sakura is gently lifted off of Kodyax's dick and she impales herself in her stead. Dust drops down like a cascade as if something big and heavy just got body slammed to the pavement above.

Kodyax and Kitsune Kunoichi give each other a concerned look as the tag they both have on their own mini-maps for Wendy starts to flicker. Mike makes a gestures on his own mini-map that his MIA keeps accurate and shakes his head as he rises and takes Sister Switchblade with him. Sister Switchblade gets a blast of his semen before Sakura gives him some new clothing to where.

Black combat boots with reinforced gloves to match are just the start of the outfit that includes black cargo judo shorts and a wraparound coat that includes a hood although the whole ensemble sort of looks cobbled together from rags of shadow which gives him a somewhat sinister appearance. A set of holographic tags on the front and back of the coat displays a flaming bear claw that just causes Mike and Sakura to smirk as it's definitely appropriate for him as a kind of logo. Sister Switchblade smirks in her afterglow as she watches the pair climb the stair to the upstairs to see what is going on.

Like Running Gun-Bunny Kodyax has a special tag on his mini-map for Clown Hammer which is plainly displayed in the hyperscreen that he keeps active on his personal Heads Up Display, a three foot square patch of glowing green neon in his peripheral vision that keeps him abreast of what is around him. Clown Hammer, and most other major enemies has a skull icon that indicates when he is in the area that pops up when there is a blip on the map to indicate he is nearby. Conversely Sakura and Wendy appear as Valentine's Day hearts due to his relationship with them, although King Leo also gets the same icon because Kody loves Leo like a brother and that deep friendship is reciprocated by Menagerie Park's undisputed monarch. Those that have no special tags on them appear as dots on the mini-map until Kody activates a special code to indicate enemies and innocents, which turns the dots into daggers and shields according to what they are as innocents, being folks he needs to protect showing up as shields and enemies that want to hurt him become daggers.

Almost completely off the map is the skull icon representing Clown Hammer along with a large shield icon representing about ten innocents. Kody face palms as he realizes that he will have to go through a bunch of cyber clowns to get to the main threat and save the civilians. He looks over the Fairgrounds to try and find Wendy and Sakura and sees that he is not the only one with a new costume.

Clown Hammer is so named for a few reasons, many of which provides the impetus for why none of the humanimals are too keen on taking him on even though it is clear that they will have to do so eventually. The first reason for his name is that he wields a rather large sledgehammer as his melee weapon of choice with his ranged weapon of choice being the War God Incorporated Warhammer assault shotgun that has been implanted into his left cybernetic arm to which he can switch from a functional arm complete with mighty hand to ultra-deadly shotgun with a single thought a few seconds for the change to occur. The fact that he wears clown make up and often goes around singing lyrics to random ICP songs is almost a given with the former fact made even more creepy and psychotic with the inclusion of the latter fact.

Running Gun-Bunny used to go for the biker look but as she runs around the battlefield tonight she looks more like a gunslinger with a black duster over a black bikini top, silver belt, laced up black leather pants and black combat boots with a black slouch hat over her purple hair pulled back to a pony tail with her pink fur showing off her curves and her green eyes warily watching her surroundings. She is firing her twin plasma pistols at multiple targets as well as doing her best not to get shot or slashed herself.

The rain has gotten progressively worse since they arrived and the MINI camera drones are slightly more active as Maxwell Zeus, the weatherman of Municipal Megaplex #13 who dresses in an expensive gray, black and yellow business suit while he himself shows his advanced age, is watching and has decided to make things as difficult as possible for the humanimals that dared leave Menagerie Park for a night on the town in this megaplex under his jurisdiction. In fact the supervisions, giant televisions that run various programs throughout the megaplex, all around the interior of the fairgrounds which until now have been showing random commercials and circus themed cartoons and video recordings of performances of P.T. Barnum and Ringling Brothers as well as other circuses up to and including cirque do soleil are now interrupted by a special bulletin and message from the "great" Max Zeus himself. Most humans consider Max Zeus a visionary leader for the whole megaplex, although most humanimals have a considerably less favorable opinion of him.

"Decided to crawl out your hole, freaks of FMI?" Zeus thunders with glowering at the camera. "How dare you walk among decent people!"

Kodyax bashes a cyber-clown into shut down mode that allows the normal people to live through another night and Zeus is unimpressed as they cheer.

"Why do cheer for this freak?" Zeus inquires at full volume. "Don't you that it is because of filth like him that your lives are in danger? The cyber-clowns are only acting..." Then Gun-Bunny shoots up more than a few more with a couple of stray plasma bolts "accidently" taking out a supervision or two which elicits more cheers and laughter as a group of teenagers and younger flip Zeus the bird. "You snot nosed punks! Who do you think you're defying? Your disrespectful attitudes are provoking the cyber-clowns!"

"Is it the kids or us, Zeus?" Kodyax asks mockingly. "You can't have your cake and eat it too!"

"You cannot win, Kodyax!" Zeus thunders before the supervisions go back to circus videos.

"I cut him off," a voice calls in Kody's ear. "He's actually still going on. It will take him a minute to realize somebody switched him off."

"Careful, Max," Kody says to the voice whom he recognizes as Maxwell "Intelligencia" Tyr, "You're not exactly on Zeus's good list right now."

"I cover my tracks well," Max says arrogantly. "Besides half his arsenal is made by my company anyway. Who do you think knows all the counter command codes?"

Wendy looks at Michael queerly as he chuckles in real time and asks: "Kody, care to share with the rest of the class?"

"I just got a message from Max Tyr." Kodyax says plainly. "He's taking blow hard off line for a bit."

"For all his public toeing of the line," Gun-Bunny says with a mocking smirk, "He is quietly our biggest ally against the establishment."

"Remember what we know of the gadgeteer's sexuality," Kodyax cautions to which Gun-Bunny smirks and nods but says no more.

NinjaVixen: What is Mike talking about, Wendy?

RunGuBun: Intelligencia is gay.

NinjaVixen: Really?

RunGunBun: Yeah, Minute Man is his boyfriend. Seriously.

Kodyax: Cut the comedy routine you two, we have fat to pull out of the fire.

Lightning bolts crash down from the sky as Max Zeus tries to take things into his own hand by proxy, several of which get dangerously close to almost hitting Wendy. A couple do actually hit Mike but most of the time he is grappled with a cyber-clown at the time and while it doesn't slow him down in the slightest it does end up electrocuting the clown he fighting at the time. Kitsune Kunoichi manages to feint clowns into taking the lightning strike for her and after Max Zeus ends up "helping" the trio in taking out about twenty clowns he stops sending lightning bolts and instead intensifies the rain to make visibility worse and the ground ultra-slick.

Normal folks huddle in the bench shelters as Sister Switchblades hacks into the public mainframe for the Fairgrounds to provide a link to the main GUNN website which streams random news programs slanted against Olympus Corporation of which Zeus is a vice president. Although they do try to be fair and put on exposes on the Nu Man Group and Frankenstein-Moreau Incorporated as well the truth is, compared to Olympus and how it is secretly in bed with INQUISITION and ECHIDNA they are actually clean. Yes, they make monsters but the monsters made by both companies turn out to be heroes like Kodyax more than anti-heroes like Poison Arrow.

Skulking about the peripherals is a blonde man in the attire of a big game hunter of the late 1800s save he has very modern hunting rifle and cybernetic eyes and limbs. Alexander Poppemoff, also known as the Cyber-Hunter, is an assassin kept on call by the Olympus Corporation to take care of up and coming rival supers. He is also the only survivor of Project: Orion which is an anomaly in and of itself.

Tonight three of the persons on his list of persons needed to be eliminated are here: Michael O'Connor, Wendy McDonald and Olga Himmler. Olga Himmler is better known by some folks as "The Bitch" a red and black she-wolf whose fur pattern is very much like a German Shepherd dog who dresses in a black leotard, black gloves, black boots, a hooded red cloak and heavily shaded goggles. She is on patrol near the area but not actually in the Fairgrounds but to get to where she is patrolling, Poppemoff needs to go through the Fairgrounds and since Kodyax and Running Gun-Bunny are here already he figures he can take care of one or both of them and then going off to bag the bitch.

As his chosen code name sort of implies, Alex Poppemoff is a master hunter and as such is doing his best not to draw attention to himself as he watches his surroundings for glimpses of either one of his targets. He can see both of them but Wendy is moving a little too quickly for him to target, but he does take the time to set up a head shot on Kodyax. Unfortunately for Cyber-Hunter as powerful as his gun can be, it's still just a supped up sniper rifle and against Kodyax it really is not that affective as the bullet just pings off of Kody's skull.

Kodyax felt the bullet bounce off his skull and looks around to see who fired at him as Cyber-Hunter wisely drops out of sight. This motion alerts the bear to the hunter's presence as well as the bunny's notice. Alex switches his gun from sniper to assault rifle mode as he fires indiscriminately to try and hit the Gun-Bunny and here again he is disappointed as Wendy makes herself intangible and let the bullets pass through her body harmlessly.

Running Gun-Bunny unleashes a torrent of plasma bolts that the Cyber-Hunter only just manages to dodge. Fortunately for the Cyber-Hunter a team of Cyber-Clowns armed with rainbow colored acid squirt guns that threatens to destroy the costumes of both heroes which provides just enough of a distraction that the Cyber-Hunter needs to get away unscathed but not before promising vengeance for this purported defeat. Mike and Wendy take a look at each other and shrug their shoulders before mowing down the new set of cyber-clowns before them on the way to taking on Clown Hammer and saving the innocents he has in close proximity to himself.

However, it is only after Cyber-Hunter departs that either Mike or Wendy connects the dots to figure out who he is and it is Mike that gets the hit on the image search and groans largely to himself. Cyber-Hunter has both Running Gun-Bunny and Kodyax on his list of people that are in serious need of slaughtering however, among the heroes of Menagerie Park, the Cyber-Hunter is on the short list of known independent contractors to the INQUISITION that needs to be made permanently unavailable to said organization as decreed by King Leo, a list that both Kodyax and Running Gun-Bunny completely agree with, so much so that Kody is disgusted that the creep managed to get away. When Mike shares this information with Wendy she curses and throws a bit of a tantrum, shooting at random things until Kodyax forces her to her knees as a kind of time out.

"What the yiff was that fucker doing here?" Wendy growls aloud, largely to Michael but also as a kind of rhetorical question.

"From the way he booked," Michael reasons, "The fucker was just passing through on the way to another target. Although based on the fact that he pinged a bullet off of my skull, I think it's safe to say you and I are his hit list."

"Don't you have a blade from shiny bones somewhere?" Wendy asks with a self-satisfied smirk as she already mostly knows the answer but wants to hear it from Kody himself.

"Oh, yeah, Silver Skeleton tried to lead a feint against Menagerie Park," Mike fully admits with a self-satisfied smirk of his own. "But he thought I was not as powerful as I really am. I confiscate one of his precious skull pommeled katanas. I'm keeping it as a trophy in my bunker. And yes, this was after I took you to the hospital. What took you so long?" Gun-Bunny just gives him a smirk. "Male or female?" She lays a finger against the side of her muzzle and winks at him. "I will assume that this was a passing fancy?"

"You can assume all you want, hun," Wendy says while maintaining her smirk. "I don't kiss and tell unless I want a threesome."

"I'm up for that," Sakura says with a smirk of her own. "Clown Hammer is not alone. Silver Skeleton is conversing with him."

"I forget," Wendy inquires, "Is the killer clown from psycho space on the payroll as a member or a contractor?"

"I forget, honestly," Mike says and then does a quick database search. "He is not on either list of known INQUISITION members or contractors. But that means very little. It would not surprise me either way."

"Member," Sakura confirms. "They're not public about it but Clown Hammer is actually only slightly lower on the inquisition totem pole of command than Silver Skeleton. The only thing Silver Skeleton has over Clown Hammer is a couple of years seniority and that's it." Mike and Wendy look at each other and collectively shrug their shoulders before looking over at Sakura. "What's the plan?"

"We have a plan?" Wendy asks.

"Yes, Wendy," Mike growls, "I know the standard operations with us is that I smash a hole and then you run around and turn the place into a shooting gallery but that's going to get folks killed. Folks that we kind of want to survive and spread the word about the friendly neighborhood monsters that are roam the megaplex helping people out."

"Seriously?" Wendy asks with an incredulous stare.

"I do have restraints you can't phase out of, you know." Mike warns.

"Don't get me horny." Wendy orders. "We have enemies to take care before we can go home and screw and you know what that does to me."

"You're feeling like playing house aren't you?" Sakura inquires with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Not you too, Sakura," Wendy warns as the bunny shoots the vixen a dark look with the bear between them. "I am not in the mood for this."

"Before little miss impetuous goes off half-cocked," Mike says sarcastically thumbing behind him in Wendy's general direction as he faces Sakura which causes the vixen to giggle while Wendy shoots daggers at his back with her gaze in extreme annoyance. "What are we looking at with Clown Hammer and Silver Skeleton?"

"As you very well know, Kody," Sakura starts to explain as a hyper-map pops into view through the MIA connection they all share as two skulls and a bunch of green and brown daggers appear along with a set of shields. "Shiny bones never goes anywhere without a platoon of Tea Party Soldiers which in this case are two squads of ten members each. By the same token Clown Hammer has twenty-five cyber-clowns with him right now but this is the Fairgrounds which basically is his territory. So even if we take out all of the minions he can summon more very quickly."

"I've been keeping a tally of how many cyber-clowns we've been sending to the infirmary," Michael states with a smirk. "He can repair his mooks pretty quickly but not quickly enough to help him if we attack him and decimate his forces quickly enough." Wendy smirks at this and Mike responds by giving her rump a quick spank. "Behave, Wendy, I know how to punish you. I will cage you naked so all you can do is watch me fuck Saki. But now there is the question of how to get in there and take them by surprise." Then he looks at Wendy and smirks.

"What are you thinking, Mike?" Wendy demands to know.

"You can switch to a burrow mode can't you?" Mike asks.

"You know I do, Mike," Wendy growls. "I love those cartoons, I just have no intention of going anywhere near Albuquerque. What are you thinking?"

"Make us a tunnel to come in from the floor and if you can, make hidey holes for the hostages." Kodyax states to which both Kitsune and Gun-Bunny give him a conspiratorial nod as the plan is solid enough.

"Do we have a more detailed map of the funhouse?" Wendy asks as a more tactical map comes up in her periphery. "And I see the floor is plywood over the ground. You're going to have to make some holes, Mike."

"Yeah, of the three of us," Sakura says with a giggle, "You're the only one whose physical might is measured in tons."

"Yeah, the ability to lift and toss tanks actually comes in handy now and again," Mike admits with a smirk. "I was planning on going with you for this. I can probably burrow as well but you are a lot faster at it than I'll ever be."

"Well, that is my thing," Wendy says with a wink. "I don't call myself Running Gun-Bunny for nothing." All three share a chuckle at this. "So I see where they have the hostages grouped together with the tea baggers training assault weapons them at nearly all times. That might prove problematic."

"Saki, do you think you could provide some distraction?" Mike asks with all seriousness. "You're the ninja of our little trio here."

"Make some of the nasties play hide and seek with me?" Sakura asks seductively. "I like that, I take it you want me to remain unseen if possible?" Mike and Wendy both nod with a conspiratorial grin. "I like this plan even better. I just wish our MIAs had better encryption software for conversations. Clown Hammer will be clueless but Silver Skeleton likes subterfuge too."

"Shiny bones can be all about subterfuge," Mike fully admits, "At time the more subtle the better. I wonder why he is so open here?"

"He isn't," Sakura relates. "Right now the Fun House is closed to the general public for repairs and maintenance according to official sources. He has staunchly remained inside and has not allowed his brown shirts to venture outside at all. Clown Hammer can come and go as he please. As you said, Mike, this is his turf so seeing him stalking about raises eyebrows for different reasons, more the "Is he looking at me for some nefarious reason?" than "What is he doing here?" since the Fairgrounds are his stomping grounds." A blip catches her eye. "Hello, what have we here?" She makes a tapping motion on her personal hyper screen. "We have three villains to deal with. Cyber-Hunter is still here."

"I don't have him on my screen," Mike says, as he feels another bullet ping his skull. "Still looking to bag me as a trophy boy?! You're gonna need a better gun than that."

"Don't encourage him," Wendy warns. "Any gun that can get through your tough hide will waste either one of us girls. And if the damn thing has an autofire feature he might actually stand a chance of hitting me."

"I patched in his signal to your maps." Sakura states. "Wendy, would you mind doing the honors? I only say that because the big bad hunter being taken out by a little bunny with a plasma pistol is so ironic to me it's hilarious."

"More ironic than if Kody made sure he needed new cyberlimbs?" Wendy asks as she goes mobile.

"Nothing personal, Mister O'Connor," Cyber-Hunter says as he patches himself into Kody's MIA via his own hacking skills. "But the Weatherman just made your death a priority. Your head is the most valuable melon to explode right now. And I intend to collect."

"Whatever Zeus is paying you, it won't be enough to rebuild your psyche when we're done with you, Poppemoff," Michael promises. "Have you made yourself a eunuch yet?"

"I took care of whatever family obligations I had long ago, Connor," Poppemoff says sarcastically. "Sorry to disappoint you but the parts you want to smash are in a milking canister providing my seed unfettered and bringing in a sideline of profit."

"Predictable," Kodyax counters. "Sick psychos like you get off more on torturing and killing your contracts than what I do with the bunny."

Kodyax keeps Cyber-Hunter talking as Running Gun-Bunny does a sprint by attack with plasma pistols blazing. Cyber-Hunter is completely blindsided when plasma bolts rip through his body and disables the servo motors that would allow him to stand and run away. She shoots his cybernetic arms to lock them in place before blasting the sniper rifle out of his hands.

Cyber-Hunter was going to grab his gyro-rocket sniper rifle that would have sent a micro rocket hurtling to Kody's noggin that might have actually hurt him. Poppemoff can only stare in frightened disbelief as he knows he just stepped into a trap himself and he's about to get his own rear end handed back to him on a silver platter. In desperation he tries to call Silver Skeleton to request assistance but Kodyax finds his paralyzed body before the call can be connected.

Michael O'Connor grabs Alex by the leg and starts to bang him around like a rag doll; bouncing his head against a few benches and lean-tos via tossing his carcass into them at tremendous force. He also takes care to badly mangle Cyber-Hunter's limbs to the point it will be easier to replace them rather than repair them. Before putting a serious crack in the contract killer's skull and sending him into the realm of unconsciousness he hoists the crippled body above his head and looks directly at one of the many cameras feeding video surveillance that he knows Zeus is watching and delivers a bit of a speech.

"Enjoying the show, Zeus? I know you're not. Which is why this is a message for you and the corporate overlords filth like you represents. You call me a vigilante because I don't follow the petty whims you like to call rules and regulations, subject to change in interpretation if it suits your fancy. Persecute me and my fellow humanimals at your peril: We will fight back!"

Alexander Poppemoff is then body slammed to the ground where it's "Say Good Night, Gracie" as the hitman is sent into a trauma induced coma. In his posh office Maxwell Zeus is watching the scene with impotent rage as he knows there is not a single blessed thing he can do at this point. He then makes a call to the Silver Skeleton himself via his own MIA.

"Yes, Mister Zeus?" Silver Skeleton says as he stands with Clown Hammer in the Funhouse as the ogre sized evil clown looks at his organizational superior with a confused gaze. "Kodyax is here? And he has friends with him. Well isn't that just lovely?"

"Can the comedy, Skeleton," Zeus growls. "I want the bear dead! Tonight!"

"Nothing would please me more than to take the head of the Kodyax as a trophy, Mister Zeus," says the Silver Skeleton to which Clown Hammer just nods and grins like a fiend.

"As a bonus, he has two females with him," Zeus reports. "Kill them too. But you have my permission; even my directive to play with them before they die. Send me the tape to enjoy later."

"Running Gun-Bunny and Kitsune Kunoichi," Silver Skeleton announces as he gets the dossiers on the two girls helping Kodyax out tonight and nods his approval. "I have been wanting to get my claws on both for different reasons. Miss McDonald has just been a general thorn in my side, although little more than an annoyance but Miss Yamaha was once my assistant. I finally get to force her to be the bitch she should have been long ago."

"Sounds like taking her out will be especially satisfying," Clown Hammer giggles in a high pitched voice.

"Oh, it will," Silver Skeleton says with darkly mirthful tone. "I've wanted a piece of that tail since she first started working for us. The fact that she betrayed us only makes me want to tap that ass even more. Just now for different reasons of course."

"Would you mind if I watched?" A voice calls from the shadows.

"Who?" Clown Hammer asks with a darkly annoyed tone.

"Poison Arrow I presume?" Silver Skeleton inquires as the lenses his mask are just good enough to perceive the serpentine centaur archer in the gloom.

"That is my preferred code name." Poison Arrow admits but remains in the shadows. "I do hope it is not too much trouble, but I would rather not take the off chance at being seen conversing with you gentlemen. There would be some unfortunate consequences for me in King Leo's court if that were to happen."

"May I take it you are not so happy with the lion's administration?" Silver Skeleton inquires with a darkly amused tone.

"To put it mildly, but then again I do not care for any mammals at all," Poison Arrow admits with a dangerous tone to his voice. "Reptiles once ruled this planet and it is high time we did so again."

"So what do you hope to accomplish talking to us?" Clown Hammer growls in the same high pitched voice. "We are mammals as well."

"Yes, but I intend to start my purge with King Leo and work outward." Poison Arrow admits freely. "So it would appear that for the moment our purposes coincide would it not?"

"You make a somewhat valid point," Silver Skeleton states. "Leave it to a snake to say just what we might want to hear. But I am intrigued, what are you offering?"

"Kodyax is one of Leo's pillars of support," Poison Arrow relates. "They are great friends and his death would grieve the lion more than many of his other subjects. For that and other reasons I should wish to see his demise myself."

'So our killing of Kodyax will help out your long term plans," Silver Skeleton speculates to which Poison Arrow just nods. "How potent is your venom?"

"I produce a paralytic poison naturally, to which Kodyax himself is unfortunately immune to." Poison Arrow laments. "But it does well enough against Sakura. Wendy's natural immune system processes my venom too quickly for it to be effective."

"Gun-Bunny is immune to poison?" Silver Skeleton asks incredulously. "So that's why the tranq darts failed to bring her down."

"Yes, poisoning a lot of my fellow humanimals has proved quite difficult lately." Poison Arrow admits. "I wonder if either of you are more vulnerable."

"Don't even think about it, snake," Clown Hammer warns as he points his gun arm at the spot where Poison Arrow is. "And before you think you can dodge this, it's a shotgun."

"They're coming!" Poison Arrow screams and then slithers deeper into the shadows. "I cannot be seen."

Sakura was ahead of the other two when Rex Pendragon, better known as Poison Arrow makes his announcement. She is hiding out in the shadows herself and in the interests of remaining unseen adds a biohazard symbol to represent him on her map that she then shares with Mike and Wendy. She also masks her presence electronically so that her stealth skills renders her fundamentally invisible to both natural and electronic eyes.

Wendy does not even bother to give the new icon any significance as she begins to burrow a tunnel to the funhouse big enough for Mike to follow behind. Michael however takes the time to investigate what the symbol could mean as he runs after Wendy. It's only because they agreed on radio silence beforehand that he does not call her via his MIA to confirm her sighting although he does file the possible presence of the malfeasance that Poison Arrow represents for later as a possible complication against the full completion of their self-assigned mission and its total success.

Michael is about ready to send Rex a nasty text and then thinks better of it as this affords him the opportunity to pummel the reptile as punishment for conspiring with the enemy. Rex knows the pair are coming as well but he does not see an icon for Sakura which worries him. Sakura is in full stealth mode and this includes making her icon invisible to anyone that wants to see her.

Sakura's MIA software notes several attempts to hack into her personal system in order to tag her, a fact that she can discern because she recognize the hacker making the attempts as Poison Arrow. Mike and Wendy show up on her mini map with Gun-Bunny tunneling at a much faster rate than Kodyax can move. Wendy pops up under the funhouse and begins burrowing safety pits for the hostages while she waits for Mike to come after her.

Wendy burrows several holes in the ground for the hostages as she listens to the heavy trodding of feet above her and for the wheezing of Michael running in behind her. Michael is not even winded by his jog in as he comes in and gropes Wendy's butt which causes her to let a shriek of surprise as she was concentrating on what she was doing and not on what is going on behind her. She then goes for her guns until she sees who molested her and thinks better of it and decides she needs a drink instead which prompts her to open Mike's fly in order to suck his cock.

Kodyax folds his arms over his chest and gives Gun-Bunny a look that asks if this really the right time to do this as she just ignores him and keeps giving him head. Sakura sees they are stalled and wonders what the hold up is before turning on security cameras Clown Hammer may not know are down there to see what is going on. She sends Wendy a text when she sees what the bunny is doing.

NinjaVixen: Really? We're almost home free and you need to do a porn show?

GunBunny: You can see me?

NinjaVixen: Yeah, your muzzle is on Mike's spigot and you're bobbing for a milkshake.

GunBunny: I got horny waiting for Mike to get here, alright?

Kodyax: When are you not horny?

GunBunny: When I'm sleeping?

NinjaVixen: Mike has a point I've seen video of a time when you were asleep, Mike comes into bed, somehow you sense it and spread yourself moaning "Fuck Me, Mike, please!" I wa

Kodyax: Repeating said phrase until I did so and nodded off after climax.

GunBunny: *facepalms* Would you believe I masturbate to that tape?

Kodyax: Yes

NinjaVixen: Hi!

ClowHam: Oh, don't stop now, please, this is the best part. Does Kodyax have that sweet scrotum app that flavors his cream? Inquiring minds want to know.

Kodyax: OK, next time any of you sees Shell Out ask her about upgrading the firewall. And if this is who I think it is, yeah, I have that mod installed.

GunBunny: You still have it set on chocolate right?

Kodyax: You're not helping.

Mike lets his climax go early as he is trying out a new flavor that he just downloaded in chocolate covered strawberry that causes Wendy to shiver in ecstasy when she tastes it. She slurps up pretty much his entire load before Mike makes the holes for the hostages which actually does manage to surprise the INQUISITION members present. After the last hostage drops, Mike climbs out of the hole he's made to glare at Clown Hammer and Silver Skeleton with Wendy leaping out close behind.

"I was wondering when you'd show up, Kodyax," Silver Skeleton sneers.

"You were below us?" Clown Hammer inquires incredulously then mumbles to himself, "I really need to have those security cameras tagged better."

"Your sword is in MY bunker, shiny bones," Kodyax taunts. "Do you have another one to add to my collection?"

"He has one of your katanas?" Clown Hammer asks of Silver Skeleton with a giggle. "This fight should be fun. Taking a blade from shiny bones over here ain't easy."

"I underestimated him," Silver Skeleton lies in his own defense. "It shan't happen again."

"Anyone wanna lay odds?!" Running Gun-Bunny shouts. "I'll pay fifty to one if he can actually do it."

"Kill the annoying the rabbit!" Silver Skeleton orders and the Tea Party Soldiers open fire.

"Not again!" Gun-Bunny whines as she begins to bob and weave through the hail of gun fire. "That tears it, I'm shooting you fuckers first!"

Poison Arrow lines up his shot as Running Gun-Bunny darts all around, and even scaling the walls to get away from the shots of the minions of Silver Skeleton as the cadaverously clad villain draws a katana and advances upon Kodyax quickly. Running Gun-Bunny is too fast a target to hit for the rank and file who end up shooting each other rather than get close enough to actually hit Wendy. A stray plasma bolt grazes Rex's shoulder and makes him fire his arrow too soon and hit Silver Skeleton in the leg just as he's about to leap at Kodyax.

Silver Skeleton still manages to launch himself into the air but not with enough strength behind the leap to get the altitude he wanted which allows Kodyax to easily catch him in midair in order to pound the master villain with enough force to send him crashing into Clown Hammer. Kitsune Kunoichi is taking out Tea Party Soldiers and Cyber Clowns alike swiftly and stealthily while avoiding stray gunfire from all three sources simultaneously as Poison Arrow decides that discretion really is the better part of valor and leaves but not before putting one of his namesakes into Kodyax. The arrow itself does no harm to Kody and the venom is doomed to fail to do anything with as robust an immune system as the bear has but it does alert him to the fact that the snake is here and that the malcontent took a pot shot at the vigilante; all things Kody will remember and confront him with when next they meet face to face.

Clown Hammer takes great pleasure in hurling Silver Skeleton at Kodyax and laughs heartily while doing so. As one might expect, Silver Skeleton is less than enthused at this turn of events and is all ready to bark something nasty at Clown Hammer when Kodyax grabs him in midair to body slam him onto the ground. Next Clown Hammer runs over Silver Skeleton to do his own body slam against the bear and while laying on the floor in a fetal position the Silver Skeleton fails to see his old pupil shove her own katana between his ribs and then retreat.

Kodyax is struck with a thunderous blow with Clown Hammer's melee weapon of choice and is knocked back from the sheer fury of the concentrated strike. Ribs have been cracked in the bear's chest to be sure but it does not phase him in the slightest as he reaches out to fire a thunderous blow of his own as his right fist connects with the psychopathic master cyber clown squarely in the jaw and causes his head to spin a full three hundred and sixty degrees in several rotations as part of the cybernetic enhancements Clown Hammer has installed in his own body is own that allows him to spin his head like an owl and not be unduly affected by the hit as a direct result of the blow. Instead, Clown Hammer laughs maniacally as his head spins around and around without any sense of control on his part as he seems to be mocking Kody.

The master clown swings his hammer in a wide arc to try and catch the bear blindly but fails to connect and leaves him open for the bear to send a left hook crashing into his midsection. When the ax handle strike hits it knocks Clown Hammer back and onto his rear as he lets out a final guffaw before his eyes start to really glow red in anger. Clown Hammer fires his shotgun arm several times in frustration only to see Kodyax withstand the withering fire completely unfazed.

Silver Skeleton is bleeding out on the funhouse floor when Clown Hammer lands on top of him. He is enraged by this turn of events but even as mad as he is, Silver Skeleton is aware that in situations like this it's better to run away to fight another day than stay and commit suicide. Instead of making any snarky comments, he just activates some super science and teleports himself away from the scene and leaves his minions to be slaughtered in his place.

None of the hostages bother sticking around after the battle starts as there is an escape tunnel wide enough for them to run away. When they reach the outside they find the televisions displaying the fight they just left. Since they are out of danger sitting down to watch the monitors the survivors enjoy the show of Clown Hammer getting his clocked cleaned with great relish as Max Zeus in his office is screaming at the technicians under his command to cut off the feed by any means necessary only to be informed that even cutting the power to the sets id not working as someone is rerouting energy to them and they have no idea who or why.

Ensconced in the safety of Menagerie Park a lady turtle is tinkering with the internet and ensuring Kodyax and the other defenders of Menagerie Park are getting their time in the spot light to showcase how humanimals can be a boon to humanity. Lisa "Shell Out" Monahan is an admirer of Kodyax and his work for quite some time now. Like Amanda she is a newly minted superhero, having gone through Frankenstein Moreau Incorporated's program to get her extra special abilities, but unlike the recent Nu Man Group convert, Lisa has always had her love of humanimals and wanted her current body based on the comic book of Eastman and Laird two centuries ago.

Clown Hammer is about to accuse Silver Skeleton when Kodyax tackles him to the ground and begins slapping him silly. Kodyax is setting Clown Hammer up for the big finish when explosion ring out and bring the funhouse down all around his ears. Wendy and Sakura high tail out of the area via the tunnel Gun-Bunny made and which collapses just as soon as they pass through it. In his zeppelin Max Zeus does a little happy dance that he finally got a dirty trick to work and hold out vain hopes that he actually managed to kill or at least seriously injure Kodyax.

As the cameras keeps rolling Kodyax emerges triumphant and totally pissed at having a big moment denied him. Clown Hammer crawls away to lick his wounds and complain to Zeus as he knows it was the weatherman of municipal megaplex 13 that ordered the demolition charges be set off to turn the fight into a draw since the master cyber clown knows how every building in his territory was built and how it can be rigged to demolish itself whenever dramatically or politically expedient called for. In the meantime, Kodyax is treated to a hero's welcome before he, Running Gun-Bunny and Kunoichi Kitsune head for home.
