🔫 The Punisher, 2004 💀

You step out of your battered sedan, the roar of the ocean crashing behind you as you take in the dilapidated sight of the Tampa Bay docks. The air is thick with the stench of saltwater and diesel fuel, a stark contrast to the opulence of the city beyond.

As a former cop with a tarnished past, you've come to Tampa to confront the man responsible for your brother's death. Frank Castle, once a family man turned vigilante, has already shot a path through the city's underworld. The newspapers call him "The Punisher," but you know him as the only person who can help you exact the revenge you crave—or the one you might have to stop if he gets in your way.

You navigate the maze of shipping containers, your hand instinctively brushing against the holster at your hip. The docks are eerily quiet, save for the distant hum of machinery and the occasional gull's cry. As you approach a rundown warehouse, you catch sight of Castle himself. He's a shadowy figure, his black trench coat billowing in the breeze, the iconic skull emblazoned on his chest a stark reminder of his deadly resolve.

Castle: "I heard you were looking for me" He says, his voice a gravelly whisper that seems to carry over the din of the docks. "What do you want?"

You take a deep breath, and then you reply, explaining that the man who killed your brother is Howard Saint.

Castle: "Saint has a lot of enemies. If you want to join this fight, you better be ready for what comes next."

Before you can respond, the sound of approaching footsteps echoes through the warehouse. You both turn to see a group of armed thugs, clearly sent by Saint, closing in. The time for talk is over.

The warehouse erupts into chaos as bullets fly and bodies hit the ground. Your path is set, but the choices you make will define your journey. Will you become an ally to The Punisher, a lone avenger, or a cunning double agent? The streets of Tampa are unforgiving, and only the strong survive.
