Deep within the jungles of rio,sat a secluded summer home and penthouse.

It was a two story house made of strong wood and concrete and sculpted into a fancy design from the 60's that showed in the design of the penthouse.

Inside,someone was seated deep within the house in a meditation room sat a man in the darkness,and in a deep meditative position.

The man was chinese,had long black hair and a long moustache that went down to his chin.
He was known as Shing Venom,one time powerful crime lord of Hong Kong.

He had long since retired from the crime scene since his last encounter with detective Dorai Xiang.
It was a nice quiet and peaceful life and one where he could live and do what he pleased,with his entire supply of secret funds in the basement vault he had built in.

But...deep down he almost wishes he could return to the days of profit,power and maybe some some form of combat again.
But little did he know,he was going to get more than he bargained for.

While at that same moment,a small group of black clad individuals crept their way through the jungle brush until they at last came to their destination,the secluded summer home of Shing Venom.

Once there,they carefully made their way past and disabled his security systems with their sophistacated weaponry of laser cutters and stealth suits.

Minutes later,they broke into the basement and found the vault before them.
One of them took out a min-saw that was poerful enough to cut through titanium steel,while the other two stood enarby the stairway that led upstairs.

While all this was happening,Shing opened his eyes,blood red auras glowed from them,he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

While back downstairs,the trio of theives continued their work.
Suddenly,they all heard something from upstairs.

The one at the vault nodded towards them to do something.
The other two nodded in return and armed their automatic pistols.

But before they knew it,something came crashing through the very floor and stood before.
It was Shing Venom himself.
He was dressed in a pair of gi pants with a black belt and his entire body was glowing red with intense energy,his muscles tensing.

"WHAT---ARE YOU---DOING?"he asked in a deep dark tone.
The two thieves aimed their guns and opened fire.

Shing opened his hands and a shield of energy suddeenly came between him and the bullets,knocking them away.
"Wha--?"said one of the thieves.
Before they could fire again,Shing threw one of his arms and a pair of fireballs flew from his hands,instantly melting the guns they held.

Suddenly,the third thief came at him and slammed him in the back with a flying thrust kick.
The kick caused Shing to stagger forward,but he kept on his feet.

"So,you want to play as well eh?"he said turning to the thief.
"Very well..."

The thief was about to make another move,but before he could,Shing made his own move.

Shing sprinted forward and grabbed the thug in a cast iron grip and then slammed him against the wall.
"You--will die."he said calmy before doing one of his deadly super moves.

He slammed a series of super fast punches into the thief's chest and face and then slammed a fireball into his head.
The impact was so great,the sound of the thug's neck being broke was heard.

The other two thugs gasped at what they saw and then bolted upstairs in a panic reaction.
"Oh no---you don't!"said Shing. "No one comes to my house uninvited...and lives to tell the tale!"

The two thugs raced through the kitchen and the living room to get to the front door.
Suddenly,Shing came rising up through the floor,making another hole like he did before.

"YOU'LL GO NO FURTHER!"he said.
The two thugs threw a couple of grenades at the floor,and once they exploded a giant cloud of smoke erupted and filled the entire room with it.

"NO!"said Shing. "YOU WON'T GET AWAY!"
Shing then fired off a series of fireballs around the room,but by the time the smoke clouds lifted,they were gone.
He only succeeded in smashing a couple of vases and put a hole in his widescreen tv.

"Oh..."he replied.
"Damn,no one ever got away from me before."

Shing then went back downstairs to the basement.
He saw that the thief only managed to cut the surface,ruining it's shining gleam.

He then looked down at the fallen and dead form of the thug.
Shing scratched the back of his head.
"Hmmm...maybe I got a little too-carried away there."he said. "Aw well,no one tries to rob me. But---how could anyone know that I was here to begin with?"

Shing checked the thief's black body suit and removed the skintight mask,revealling the face of----a woman with long red hair!
"Ah,so they may have been women after all."he thought. "But--who sent them?"

Meanwhile,back outside from the jungles,the other two thieves removed their masks to reveal--Juli and Juni,the killer dolls of Shadowloo,and two of Bison's best operatives.

Juli took out a pocket communicator and spoke into it.
"Lord Bison,"she said. "the mission was a bust,Shing Venom was a lot more powerful then we heard,and Agent April,is dead."
"Hmmm..no matter."said Bison over the speaker. "I have a more--pressing concern for the moment. Return to base at once. But rest assured,Mr.Venom shall soon feel the sting of my bite soon enough."

The two dolls then ran out of the jungle as fast as their legs could carry them.

Shing then looked at the mask the woman wore.
It had a gold pin symbol that was of a skull with a pair of wings on it and a lihgtning bolt atop it's forehead.
Ubnderneath it was the word:"SHADOWLOO!"

"Sh-shadowloo?"said Shing.
"Who or what,is this Shadowloo?"

Shing then had a thought,if those--thieves were from a crime cartel of some kind,would they return,and with undoubtedly more recruits? And if so,would he be able to fend them off?

Shing then made a decision,he would seek out and find this Shadowloo,and he would crush anyone who would get in his way. He finally found a new task in life. Extermination of a pest that would return to hinder him.
