Shade - Agent Of Spite

Shade#56 (S3): Follow-up

[Prytania (Abony)]

Hey, I take it as a plus. I hate the cheesy one-liners.

PRYTANIA (EBONY) STARTS THE CAR AND SPEEDS OUT OF THE PARKING LOT.

CUT TO: DOWNTOWN DISTRICT

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

A HOMELESS, MUTATED MAN ATTACKS A COUPLE OF OTHER PEOPLE BY KNOCKING THEM DOWN OR PUNCHING THEM OUT OF HIS WAY. SHADE MANAGES TO CATCH UP TO THE HOMELESS MUTATED MAN, GRABS HIM, AND ATTEMPTS TO SMOTHER THE HOMELESS MAN INTO UNCONSCIOUSNESS.

[Shade]

Alright buddy I'm just gonna need you to take a little nap right quick.

THE MUTATED HOMELESS MAN BITES SHADE ON THE ARM, ELBOWS HIM IN THE SIDE THEN THROWS HIM OVER HIS BACK INTO THE STREET WHERE SHADE IS NEARLY HIT BY A CAR.

[Shade]

I guess that's what I get for trying to be diplomatic.

SHADE STANDS, TURNS AROUND, AND SEES THE MUTATED HOMELESS MAN RUNNING TOWARDS HIM. SHADE DODGES A COUPLE OF PUNCHES FROM THE HOMELESS MAN, GRABS THE HOMELESS THROWING HIM DOWN ON THE GROUND ON HIS BACK THEN PUNCHES THE HOMELESS MAN IN THE FACE KNOCKING HIM OUT. SHADE PICKS UP THE MUTATED HOMELESS MAN, WRAPS HIM IN CHAINS THEN GETS HIM OUT OF THE STREET. SHADE THEN HEARS THE SOUNDS OF ALARMS GOING OFF FROM A PHARMACY A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY.

[Shade]

Dude, you've got to be kidding me!

SHADE CREATES A SHADOW CLONE AND HANDS THE MUTATED HOMELESS MAN TO HIM.

[Shade]

Take him to the police station for me.

THE SHADOW CLONE NODS, OPENS A PORTAL, WALKS INTO THE PORTAL AND THE PORTAL CLOSES BEHIND IT. SHADE THEN GOES TO WHERE HE HEARS THE ALARM RINGING AND FINDS A CAR OUTSIDE OF A PHARMACY.

[Shade]

(Thinking)

I guess one of the better parts about this is that they're bold with their intentions. I hope they grab a couple of painkillers while they're in there.

SHADE SCALES INTO THE STORE THEN OBSERVES THE ROBBERS FROM THE BACK WALL. SHADE IDENTIFIES THE GROUP OF ROBBERS AS BEING AFFILIATED WITH LAKESIDE CREW.

[Shade]

(Thinking)

Lakeside Crew. I shouldn't be surprised however they haven't seen them in a while. Wish it would have stayed that way but good things can't last forever.

[Lakeside Crew Grunt#1]

Come on nigga, we don't have all day!

[Lakeside Crew Grunt#2]

Look, nigga, I'm going as fast as I can. It's not my fault we've got a shopping list. You just keep a lookout. The last thing that we need is the cops or Shade showing up.

[Shade]

(Thinking)

This should be easy enough.

SHADE SCALES THE FLOOR TO WHERE LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#1 IS, JUMPS UP OFF THE FLOOR GRABBING LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#1, AND SLAMS HIM ON HIS BACK ON THE FLOOR. SHADE JUMPS THROUGH THE AIR AND KICKS LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#2 IN THE CHEST CAUSING HIM TO SLAM INTO A SHELF. SHADE SCALES THE GROUND TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#3 THAT BEGINS SHOOTING AT HIM. SHADE STANDS UP BESIDE LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#3, SNATCHES HIS GUN AWAY THEN PUNCHES LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#3 IN THE CHEST SENDING HIM FLYING BACK THROUGH THE STORE. SHADE DODGES A COUPLE OF BULLETS FIRED AT HIM FROM LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#4, SNAPS TO THE COVER OF A SHELF, PICKS UP AN AIR FRESHENER CAN, AND THROWS IT AT LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#4. THE AIR FRESHENER HITS LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#4 IN THE HEAD CAUSING ENOUGH OF A DISTRACTION FOR SHADE TO TAKE HIS GUN THEN KICK HIM BACK THROUGH THE AIR INTO A WALL. SHADE IS GRABBED BY LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#5 WHO PUTS HIM INTO A HEADLOCK. LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#1 ATTEMPTS TO STAB SHADE BUT SHADE KICKS HIM IN THE SHIN. SHADE BREAKS FREE FROM LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#5'S GRASP, GRABS HIM BY THE COLLAR OF HIS SHIRT, PULLS HIM FORWARD, AND CLOTHESLINES HIM SO HARD HE FLIPS ONCE IN THE AIR THEN LANDS ON HIS STOMACH ON THE FLOOR. SHADE NOTICES THAT LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#2 IS ATTEMPTING TO FLEE, CREATES A CHAIN TO SNARE HIS LEGS THEN DRAGS HIM BACK TO WHERE HE IS. SHADE IS KICKED ONCE BY LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#2 AND SHADE PUNCHES HIM IN THE LOWER BACK. SHADE THEN LIFTS LAKESIDE CREW GRUNT#2 UP BY HIS COLLAR LIFTING HIM INTO THE AIR.
