HOBGOBLIN: BAHAHAHAA!! I can’t BELIEVE it worked!!! Blocked the WHOLE THING with the sword!
CAPTION(Punisher): His laugh is superhuman. Ears are ringing just from that bit of giggling. Must be some kind of sonic attack. Probably meant to scramble the insides of an enemy.

Panel 2:
All black panel.
UNKNOWN: Say something, Frank.
PUNISHER: … Auger…
UNKNOWN: Recognize my voice.
Panel 3:
All black panel. But we can make out the features of a face.
UNKNOWN: So glad you’re here, Frank. He got me when you were on the way…
Page 18
Panel 1:
Show Punisher restrained to a chair with metal locks on his wrists and legs, across from a similar chair where the old man (Auger) is chained up in the same way. The room is a neon white and is meant to be uncomfortable to look at.
AUGER: Sorry, Frank…. I tried to fight back… that laugh…
PUNISHER: Painfully aware.
Panel 2:
Show a door opening behind Auger (it’s as if the room is sliding open). A black masked figure walks in. He has the same outfit as Punisher, except none of the parts of his getup are white. He has a skull as well, but it’s black and twisted, more “evil” looking. His mask is a blank black, with goggles instead of eye holes. (It’s Slaughter).
AUGER: Oh, Jesus…please, Slaughter…
SLAUGHTER: Oh, Auger.
Panel 3:
Show Slaughter kneeled down next to Auger, holding a pistol up to his head.
SLAUGHTER: Frank, isn’t it funny? Twice in a row, you get good helpers for no reason. Wanna know his story?
Panel 4:
Show Punisher’s face. Grimacing as usual. But more intense.
SLAUGHTER(From off panel): Of course you do. This guy, he and me share a history. Used to work for me. He was a techie. Helped me hack the sa-- …
AUGER: THE SATELLITE!? YOU SON OF A--
SLAUGHTER: Shut up. No. I’ll tell you about that part after his history. As I was saying.
Panel 5:
Show Slaughter’s skull emblem.
SLAUGHTER: He disobeyed me. Didn’t kill a possible traitor. Obviously, I wanted to kill him in return. He didn’t like it. So he left. I suppose the only reason he didn’t tell you where I was, or what I was planning, is because he didn’t know fully. I’m secretive like that. Black bag all my men on the way to the HQ.
Page 19
Panel 1:
Show a gun against Auger’s head.
SLAUGHTER: Now that I’ve told you his little history, I can get to the reason why you’re here today.
SLAUGHTER: Parker Robbins is in jail. He hasn’t left for a considerable amount of time.
Panel 2:
Show Punisher’s skull emblem. Worn and ragged from the days of fighting.
SLAUGHTER: You’d be surprised at the illegal LMD trade they have underground. Respectable. I planted that LMD, so you could get your blood boiling. So you’d be distracted. So you’d get exhausted, when I sent ambush after ambush at you. Days of warfare without much rest.
SLAUGHTER: Tell me Frank, how much have you slept lately?
Panel 3:
Show Punisher’s face. He’s about as beaten up as you’d expect. He has a glare of “How much do you think?” on his face.
SLAUGHTER: Not much? Exactly the point. You don’t sleep when someone @#%#s with your head like The Hood did. It’s the only reason Daken managed to take you down. And it’s how I’m going to. You’d never admit it to yourself until the last breath, like when you fought Hobgoblin; but you’re tired.
Panel 4:
Show Auger’s head rock back as a bullet goes through his brain.
SFX: BLAM
SFX: GSHKKT
SLAUGHTER: Still. You managed to take down several hired hands. The only two that worried me were Freak and Carnage. But you managed well. Scarecrow had orders to kill you, unlike Negative’s goons; but I knew you’d take care of him easy.
Panel 5:
Show Slaughter reaching for a strapped combat knife.
SLAUGHTER: Even if I told Spot, on my own and without Negative’s counsel, to give Scarecrow that hologram tech you had. And used rather expertly on Carnage, if I do say so myself.
Page 20
Panel 1:
Show Slaughter stabbing Auger’s head in the temple with a combat knife.
SFX: SHKK
SLAUGHTER: All those false leads. Remember the idiots I had near your van? “Oh, The Hood’s at the Bar With No Name!”; Please, Frank.
Panel 2:
Show Slaughter’s face. His goggles and mask stained with blood.
SLAUGHTER: The idiots learned. They move the location of that bar around every week or so.
Panel 3:
Show from behind Punisher, as Slaughter stands and starts to take off his mask.
SLAUGHTER: And in case you’re wondering. The only reason I didn’t send them all after you at once is because you’d still have some energy left over for when I bring you here. Look at you.
Panel 4:
Show Punisher. Ragged and beat down.
SLAUGHTER: You’re worn. You’re tired. You felt FEAR for the first time in years, you’ve had your insides kicked in their @#%# by Hobgoblin’s laugh, and you’ve been pushing yourself against freaks and scum that were high above your caliber and couldn’t even DIE!
SLAUGHTER: If I had just had them ambush you in one day, you’d use an adrenaline rush to fight them all off at once, find me and gut me like a fish.
Page 21
Panel 1:
Show Slaughter unmasked.
SLAUGHTER: And on top of it all, I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t remember my face.
Panel 2:
Show Punisher looking up at Slaughter. Side view.
PUNISHER: … Just who the hell are you…
Panel 3:
Show Slaughter’s face.
SLAUGHTER: Do you remember Valley Forge? You were stationed there.
Page 22
Panel 1:
Flashback to “Punisher: Born”, show Captain Castle leading a platoon of soldiers through a Vietnamese jungle.
SLAUGHTER: You fell in love with combat.
Panel 2:
Flashback to “Punisher: Born” still, show Captain Frank Castle holding an M-60 and gunning down Vietcong snipers in the jungle, much to the awe of the others in the platoon.
SLAUGHTER: Remember the saying we had?
SLAUGHTER: “If you think PAYBACK’S bad, you haven’t met Frank Castle.”
Panel 3:
Flashback to “Punisher: Born” again, show the Vietcong army swarming Valley Forge in that dark and rainy night.
SLAUGHTER: I was there. With you on that night.
Panel 4:
Flashback to “Punisher: Born” still, show Captain Castle leading Stevie Goodwin (Caucasian, one of the soldiers from his platoon) through a large vast field, while firebombs are going on.
SLAUGHTER: I was there with you till the very end.
Panel 5:
Show Goodwin being impaled through the chest by a Vietcong bayonet.
SLAUGHTER: Until you let me die.

PUNISHER: Goodwin…
SLAUGHTER: Captain Castle.

I suppose the only reason he didn’t tell you where I was, or what I was planning, is because he didn’t know fully. I’m secretive like that. Black bag all my men on the way to the HQ.

Panel 1:
Show a gun against Auger’s head.
SLAUGHTER: Now that I’ve told you his little history, I can get to the reason why you’re here today.
SLAUGHTER: Parker Robbins is in jail. He hasn’t left for a considerable amount of time.
Panel 2:
Show Punisher’s skull emblem. Worn and ragged from the days of fighting.
SLAUGHTER: You’d be surprised at the illegal LMD trade they have underground. Respectable. I planted that LMD, so you could get your blood boiling. So you’d be distracted. So you’d get exhausted, when I sent ambush after ambush at you. Days of warfare without much rest.
SLAUGHTER: Tell me Frank, how much have you slept lately?
Panel 3:
Show Punisher’s face. He’s about as beaten up as you’d expect. He has a glare of “How much do you think?” on his face.
SLAUGHTER: Not much? Exactly the point. You don’t sleep when someone @#%#s with your head like The Hood did. It’s the only reason Daken managed to take you down. And it’s how I’m going to. You’d never admit it to yourself until the last breath, like when you fought Hobgoblin; but you’re tired.
Panel 4:
Show Auger’s head rock back as a bullet goes through his brain.
SFX: BLAM
SFX: GSHKKT
SLAUGHTER: Still. You managed to take down several hired hands. The only two that worried me were Freak and Carnage. But you managed well. Scarecrow had orders to kill you, unlike Negative’s goons; but I knew you’d take care of him easy.
Panel 5:
Show Slaughter reaching for a strapped combat knife.
SLAUGHTER: Even if I told Spot, on my own and without Negative’s counsel, to give Scarecrow that hologram tech you had. And used rather expertly on Carnage, if I do say so myself.

Panel 1:
Show Slaughter stabbing Auger’s head in the temple with a combat knife.
SFX: SHKK
SLAUGHTER: All those false leads. Remember the idiots I had near your van? “Oh, The Hood’s at the Bar With No Name!”; Please, Frank.
Panel 2:
Show Slaughter’s face. His goggles and mask stained with blood.
SLAUGHTER: The idiots learned. They move the location of that bar around every week or so.
Panel 3:
Show from behind Punisher, as Slaughter stands and starts to take off his mask.
SLAUGHTER: And in case you’re wondering. The only reason I didn’t send them all after you at once is because you’d still have some energy left over for when I bring you here. Look at you.
Panel 4:
Show Punisher. Ragged and beat down.
SLAUGHTER: You’re worn. You’re tired. You felt FEAR for the first time in years, you’ve had your insides kicked in their @#%# by Hobgoblin’s laugh, and you’ve been pushing yourself against freaks and scum that were high above your caliber and couldn’t even DIE!
SLAUGHTER: If I had just had them ambush you in one day, you’d use an adrenaline rush to fight them all off at once, find me and gut me like a fish.

Panel 1:
Show Slaughter unmasked.
SLAUGHTER: And on top of it all, I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t remember my face.
Panel 2:
Show Punisher looking up at Slaughter. Side view.
PUNISHER: … Just who the hell are you…
Panel 3:
Show Slaughter’s face.
SLAUGHTER: Do you remember Valley Forge? You were stationed there.
Page 22
Panel 1:
Flashback to “Punisher: Born”, show Captain Castle leading a platoon of soldiers through a Vietnamese jungle.
SLAUGHTER: You fell in love with combat.
Panel 2:
Flashback to “Punisher: Born” still, show Captain Frank Castle holding an M-60 and gunning down Vietcong snipers in the jungle, much to the awe of the others in the platoon.
SLAUGHTER: Remember the saying we had?
SLAUGHTER: “If you think PAYBACK’S bad, you haven’t met Frank Castle.”
Panel 3:
Flashback to “Punisher: Born” again, show the Vietcong army swarming Valley Forge in that dark and rainy night.
SLAUGHTER: I was there. With you on that night.
Panel 4:
Flashback to “Punisher: Born” still, show Captain Castle leading Stevie Goodwin (Caucasian, one of the soldiers from his platoon) through a large vast field, while firebombs are going on.
SLAUGHTER: I was there with you till the very end.
Panel 5:
Show Goodwin being impaled through the chest by a Vietcong bayonet.
SLAUGHTER: Until you let me die.
