Chapter I
Jameson: "This is J3 communications. Bringing you the best in three minutes. I'm J. Jonah Jameson. Tonight, crime levels throughout the city have increased rapidly since another incident involving The Sin Gang has surfaced. The police have released a tape that was recovered on the body of their latest victim. 33 year old Vicki Thomas. We have the exclusive tape right here. Some viewers may find the following footage disturbing."
The screen flicked over to the tape which showed a masked man in front of the camera. His whole upper torso was drenched in shadows.
Sin Eater: "Citizens of New York City, are you paying attention yet? Or do I have to kill another person to get what I want? Vicki Thomas didn't need to die, but I couldn't resist the sweet scent of her fear. Unless the mayor coughs up the $13,0000 that we demand then another innocent civilian dies. Would you really be that selfish, Mr Mayor? Haven't your people suffered enough from the demonic forces that destroyed the city? And what of these so called superheroes? Where are they to stop me? It seems that you are out of options. Pay up the money by the next 48 hours or I will kill another innocent person. Perhaps that gorgeous daughter of yours? Be seeing you."
The video tape ended and the screen cut back to Jameson.
Jameson: "Our correspondent tried to get a response from the Mayor but he was unwilling to give a comment. His daughter is reported to be in police protection. However one question remains. What are The Brotherhood Of Superheroes doing to solve this menace? We were able to get a comment from Captain America earlier today."
Captain America appeared on the screen. He stood proudly in front of the newly built BOS headquarters.
Captain America: "We have acknowledged the city's plea for our help in this case. We deeply apologize for not putting this gang behind bars. However we have dispatched our best agent to solve the case. RoboCop has been assigned because he is the most capable machine to handle such a threat. We are striving to rebuilt this great city. The people's city is our number one priority as of this time."

RoboCop walked with the Mayor outside the entrance to Town Hall. The Sin Eater's message had put the Mayor on Ice. RoboCop escorted the VIP to his limo.
The Mayor: Just so you know Agent Murphy, you have my complete permission to kill this guy should you have to. I want him off the streets and I don't care how you do it.
RoboCop: Understood. Your convoy should be...ready to escort you to the safe house. You are not to leave your escort for any reason.
The Mayor: Yeah yeah I got all that. I'm pretty pissed off at the Cap though. This is more important. How could he ignore peoples lives during this crisis?
RoboCop: He has...his duty. This is mine. Good luck Mr Mayor.
The Mayor: *As he gets in the car* Good luck to you too, Agent Murphy.
Shortly afterwards, Robocop cruised down the damaged streets in his new SHIELD Raider. Tony Stark had constructed the titanium plated tank like car. It was designed specifically for Robo's systems and equipment. He could now interface with the on board computer, becoming one with the vehicle. He patrolled the east neighborhood when a an alarm was picked up over the database. SIN GANG IDENTIFIED. SAINT PATRICK'S BAR, MAIN AND THIRD. MEMBERS: FIVE. DANGER: CONDITION RED. Responding to the alarm, RoboCop accelerated and headed for the scene.

The Punisher had already arrived at the scene himself. He had also been on the Sin Eater case since the night of first killing. The first victim was a personal friend of his, prompting him to wage a one man manhunt for justice. His trail had led him to the same spot. He perched on top of adjacent rooftop and studied the area through his night vision binoculars. He pressed down on a hidden button and spoke into a small microphone that was built into his left wrist gauntlet.
Punisher Journal Entry: "Journal entry: 56. I have tracked a small group of the scumbags to a small shady bar on the corner of East and 3rd. My hunch was right. This place is one of their rally points. The Sin Gangs numbers must have doubled over the past 72 hours. Their recruitment strategies have changed. I caught four of them hanging outside the abandoned mall earlier this morning. They were recruiting a group of young boys that were passing by. All of them must have been between the ages of 13 and 16. They should be in school. Not on the street. If I'm ever going to stop them then I need to up my game."
After he finished the recording, The Punisher put his new plan into action. He made his towards the street by climbing down a drain pipe. Reaching for his rifle that he carried on his back, The Punisher kicked in the doors, surprising the assailants inside. He caught three Sin Gang members who were in the middle of plotting their next murder.
Sin Gang member #1: *Reacting* Who the hell is this guy!?
Sin Gang member #2: I don't know, but he isn't here to join us. Who are you punk!
Punisher: I'm the guy who's about to put a bullet between your boss's eyes. I'll start with you two first.
Sin Gang member #3: Is that so? Well we'll see about that. Come on boys, lets waste this punk!
The Punisher dived for cover as the three members drew their machine rifles and opened fire. He took cover behind an upturned table. He aimed his rifle and returned the favour. His constant firepower knocked down one of the men. Just then, a second source of gunfire erupted. The Punisher glanced across the room to see RoboCop march his way through with his gun blazing. The Sin Gang Members tried to take down the Defender of SHIELD, but their bullets bounced off his shiny metallic armor. RoboCop aimed and fired a single bullet into each of their legs. He needed the answers so killing them wasn't an option.
RoboCop: *Grabbing a gang member by the scruff of the neck.* Where is The Sin Eater!? Tell me!?
Sin Gang member #1: Kiss my ass tin man! We'll never tell!
RoboCop: You will tell me. I have ways...of getting answers. *His hand clamps around the man's neck.* Don't make me beat it out of you?
Sin Gang member #1: *Slowly choking.* I....I....Don't know....he calls us when he.....needs us.
RoboCop: *Using his voice stress analyzer* You are going to prison. You are telling the truth. Your reign of terror is over.
Suddenly, The Punisher appears from behind a fires an electrical taser blast into the back of RoboCop. The shock stuns the cyborg long enough for The vigilante to finish the job. When RoboCop rebooted his system, he saw The Punisher looming over him.
The Punisher:I had a feeling that the Patriot lover would send you here. I could have killed you if I wanted too but it's not you that I'm after. Stay away from The Sin Eater. He's mine!
RoboCop: Who are you? Identify yourself?
The Punisher: They call me The Punisher. It's my mission to put the Sin Eater in the ground and I don't intend to let a walking trash can like you get in my way. Cross me again, and I will turn you into scrap metal. Is that understood?
RoboCop: I will...find him whether you like it or not.
The Punisher: We'll see. Gotta dash.
RoboCop raised his pistol and flipped it to it's tag mode. He aimed it at the Punisher and fired. The micro tag hit the back of The Punisher's dark over coat. He wasn't about to let him get away so soon. A few minutes later, he lifted himself up off the floor. He scanned the life signs of the two Sin Gang members. They were both dead. The Punisher had put a bullet in both of their heads. Despite the Mayor's permission, RoboCop couldn't kill The Sin Eater or any of his gang. Since he had joined SHIELD, he had learnt the value of human life and vowed never to kill unless it had become a last resort. As he marched outside towards his Raider, the events that just happened played back in his visor. It was possible that he did have to kill a man if it was necessary. He would have to kill The Punisher. He took off into the night. The tracer he planted appeared on the screen. He was going to get answers before anymore bullets were fired.

Editors note: To picture the SHIELD raider, think a hybrid of The Dark Knight's tumbler Batmoblie and a spinner from Blade Runner.
