After leaving a billiards hall, Spike witnesses a grotesquely cheerful assassin slaughter a group of men. The killer, known as Mad Pierrot, notices Spike and attacks with extraordinary speed, strength, and apparent resistance to bullets. Spike barely escapes and is badly wounded. Jet learns that Pierrot was once the subject of secret ISSP experiments intended to create an enhanced soldier. The procedures gave him lethal abilities but damaged his mind, leaving him terrified by reminders of the laboratory and obsessed with killing everyone connected to it—or anyone who sees him work. Pierrot sends Spike an invitation to a space-themed amusement park. Despite his injuries and the obvious trap, Spike goes alone. Their fight moves through artificial snow, mechanical mascots, rides, and a nighttime parade, turning the park's cheerful imagery into a nightmare. Pierrot again overwhelms Spike until a thrown knife strikes his leg. The minor pain triggers a childlike panic rooted in the experiments. While he cries for his mother, Pierrot stumbles into the path of the park's enormous animatronic procession and is crushed. Spike survives not by defeating the superhuman assassin directly, but by exposing the frightened, broken person still trapped inside him.
