Blackwell Tunnel Battle

The Crusaders have continued their assault on the criminal underworld, ambushing a convoy in the Blackwell Tunnel late at night. During the battle, which was not witnessed by any by-standers, a large explosion detonated, destroying an articulated lorry and several other vehicles.

Police have not confirmed what The Crusaders found on the scene as it was removed by them before the authorities could arrive but experts have indicated that it was obviously to do with whatever it was that they were tracking. 

The battle itself could not have been an easy one as the British heroes came up against some of the most dangerous assassins in the world. The Punisher, The Constrictor, Taskmaster, Bushwhacker, Bengal Tiger, Tombstone, Daredevil and Bullseye were all at the scene of the battle as was the Canadian killer Wildchild, though how the battle started and who was attacking who remains a mystery.

It is believed by the Police that The Punisher (who had been underground for a several long months) must have attacked the convoy at the same time as Daredevil and The Crusaders. During the battle both The Punisher and Daredevil suffered severe injuries, The Punisher a deep concusion and several broken ribs and Daredevil was caught in the large explosion. He was checked into hospital suffering from a badly broken right leg, a mangled right hand with several fingers missing and serious burns. 

On the villains side they fared little better, both Bengal Tiger and Bushwhacker were badly burned, Taskmaster suffered multiple stab wounds and the killer known as Bullseye is still in a critical condition having been at the heart of the explosion that rocked the tunnel. 

Smythe Industries have used high tech power armours and equipment to repair the damage in a very quick time but disruption to the city of London has been very high. The Crusaders were quick to leave the scene on the whole but Apex stayed behind to hemp with the clear up while Gloop was on hand to help the injured villains until they were airlifted to secure hospital complex.

The Crusaders have for the moment calmed their rabid attack on the cities criminals, though Fung Chi and Sinner still have not been seen in public since their return with the team three weeks ago.

It is currently presumed that the severe injuries to the criminals were caused by the added complication of Frank Castle AKA The Punisher being at the fight but that has not yet been confirmed by the Police.
