Spandex or Leather - Introducing the Halloween Gang

Reece, Chuck and Christian are mulling around at their home after a days work, when..

Knock Knock Knock on the door is heard.

Reece just answers the door and a young man quickly introduces himself as John, the captain of the local Neighborhood Watch.


Reece invites him in where he goes into a petulant rant about the state of the city.

“Yep it's all going to hell in a hand basket. I know there are super types are trying to clear up the city, but there a lot of trash needs taking out to get this place clear,” He continues on. “Hell just heard old lady Margery was robbed a few nights ago, “ John offers as an example.

“She never hurt anyone, so why would someone steal her collection of Halloween costumes?”

Christian tries to quiz John on what was stolen, the state of the various gangs in the neighborhood, but all he knows is that although this is part of the run down district the few blocks which he is Captain of the Neighborhood Watch, the are no real gangs operating and those that are a bit naughty, would not steal from their own Neighbors, community spirit and all that.

Chuck asks more questions about old lady Margery, to the point that John suggests just taking them a few blocks down the road to her home, so they can ask the questions directly.

The team head out over to old lady Margery's, where John introduces them to her and when she invites them in for a cup of tea and some biscuits, John leaves to do his rounds.

After much talk about her late husband, and how they used to dress up in Halloween for the kids and decorate the house for the holiday.

Margery informs them "When I returned from bingo, I noticed that my shed was broken into, when I was making a pot of tea, as look you can see the shed form the kitchen window. Would you like another cup of tea, here have a biscuit, yes the shed, well I went out to the shed and the door was broken, and it looks like all that was stolen was my box of Halloween costumes, they did not bother with the gardening equipment, or my late husbands tools and drills, just the Halloween costumes!"

The team check out the shed, and yes the door is broken around the lock and now barely on its hinges, a boxes and bits are scattered about the shed. It looks to the team as if the robbery specifically targeted the Halloween costumes! Scattered on the floor is an assortment of sweets, very odd.

After a further round of tea and stale biscuits the team head out towards town.

Reece is about the slip away and check out the drug dens, as hey why else would someone steal Halloween costumes.

Before he slips away the team hear up ahead the distinct sound of a burglar alarm.

Rushing to check it out you find two hooded figures leave the store by the window, which they have smashed in with a mailbox. In their hands are loads of candy.

Trick

Treat

The front window is smashed in and both of them are scooping up bags of sweets, laughing all the time while they are doing this.

Nothing more, just candy. Well a crime is a crime you guess.

Chuck runs in not thinking and goes to body slam one of the hooded men (Trick), but gets body slammed by him instead - oops these guys are full meat heads.

Reece rushes the other one (Treat) using his Telekinetic power to boost his strength, but also gets body slammed in return.

Christian seeing the trouble both his comrades are in, goes in for the assist with Chuck, but Trick just picks him up by his throat, while holding Chuck by his throat with his other hand.

Fuck.... these guys are tough!

Chuck takes another pounding, inches away from unconsciousness, Reece starts to get the upper hand of Treat. While Christian confusing caresses Tricks face and disintegrates his mask!

Chuck regenerates most of his pain away, while Christian tries to seduce and confuse Trick.

Reece and Treat are battering the shit out of each other, Treat just seems to laugh off the pain.

Chuck finally manages to deal a blow hard enough to knock out Trick, Christian taking this opportunity to try and kick Treat in his balls, resulting in just disintegrating his pants crutch.

Letting his balls hang free!

With a few more rounds, with Christian also seducing Trick, and causing further confusion in him, its three against one, Trick is eventually Ko'ed, but the team is battered and bruised.

Christian takes some photos as the team hear sirens in the distance getting louder and before the police arrive, they slink off into the shadows, Christian like a ninja is at one with the shadows.

They all head back to old lady Margery's to ask her if the costumes the men were wearing were hers.

After many teas, stale biscuits, a ham sandwich with 20 year old cheese, old mustard and for Reece years old mayonnaise and stale cake, the team use this time to rest and recuperate while old lady Margery goes on about whatever inane thing that grabs her fancy.

When they return home and put on the TV their is a new flash bulletin from Captain Franks and Officer Kennedy.

Captain Franks

Officer Kennedy

As the press conference starts and is broadcasting, Officer Kennedy shakes his head. “Sorry I just have a hard time getting past the whole cape and mask gig,” He laughs. "Those two clowns that were arrested earlier tonight, had on the Halloween costumes, laughing all the time. Well they escaped a few hours ago while we were transporting them to Jefferson Asylum. Get this, some pumpkin headed guy hijacked the truck and broke those two out.”

Captain Franks coughs a bit to interrupt Officer Kennedy "We are asking people for information pertaining to this "Halloween Gang", do not approach, please consider them unhinged and dangerous".

“Seems we have a band of loons on the loose,” Officer Kennedy offers.

The Team Pilates head out in their vehicle to investigate the snatch point.

After retracing the route they think the police would have taken, they spot fresh tire skid marks, when they get out to investigate they see there is sweets scattered on the ground.

As they scope out the local area, they hear this distant rumble of a shutter moving, which is odd this late at night.

The team walk over to investigate.

Sure enough as you arrive at a toy warehouse, the two hooded clowns are hard at work loading a truck full of toy water guns and other odd bits of toy fun. These two are not smart enough to figure this sort of robbery out, so you can beat there is someone else in charge here. Maybe a pumpkin headed boss man.

Reece charges up to one of the two hooded clowns, and Knockbacks (Superman punches), Trick and one punch KO's him!

Chuck heads between the two trucks into the warehouse via the opened shutter, and sees Treat.

Christian uses his powers to disintegrate one of the wheels of one of the trucks, expecting only to remove the tire, but instead disintegrates the whole wheel, as the truck drops it almost catches Christians toes!

Reece and Chuck then descend on Treat, and with a few powered blows they KO him.

Wow, massive change from the first exchange with these dudes, its almost as if the team are starting to gel and uses their powers effectively ......

With the team in the warehouse they start searching it, mistakenly thinking the warehouse was the gangs base!

Chuck heads over to the office, but as he opens the door a pumpkin grenade is thrown at him!

But with a massive amount of luck the grenade bounces off of him and ricochets back at the person who threw it, Trixy Treat!

Trixy Treat

Trixy taking damage, then throws a 2nd grenade this one going off at Chucks feet and engulfing him in a fiery explosion. That friggin HURT!

Reece, rushes over and squeezes his head between Chuck and the Door frame, screeching "here' Johnny", and somehow manages to mentally manipulate Trixy treats belt so her, pumpkin belt drops to the floor.

Chuck takes this opportunity to grow out his claws and go on the offensive with Trixy, but she is too nimble for him.

Christian tries to Protect Chuck by creating dismantling aura over him, but accidently touches Reece while doing this causing Reece to fall through the door frame and into the office.

Trixy crouches down and uses a super leap to spring across the room and into Reece, flying kneeing him in his head.

Cristian grapples Trixy to try and give the others an advantage.

Chuck enraged by the hurt and the evasion, grows a big boner and wallops Trixy into a bloody mess!

The Gang is defeated, but where is Pumpkin Head??

Reece and Chuck stem the bleeding of Trixy, so at least they have not murdered anyone.....yet

Then proceed to steal the petty cash from the warehouse, a whopping 11 hundred creds!

Christian phones in for medics and the police, they restrain the three with cable ties and packaging tape, fleeing before the cops arrive.

Who are the Halloween Gang?

Why are they stealing toys and sweets?

Where is this Pumpkin headed guy?
