Another fun Captain Frying Pan story this time of him facing off his own cat theme villainess The Shadowcat the famous shadow thief.


(Story)


Narrator: We join our hero in the hospital room of his friend Dr. Hanan Zazeeya after his latest mission of stopping another bank robbery.


Dr. Hanan: You were very brave stopping those crooks from stealing the money from the bank and I have never seen anyone put out a bomb like that before.


We turn the camera towards Captain Frying Pan covered in burnt marks, scorches, scratches, and smoke coming out of his body with his clothes torn and tattered.


Captain Frying Pan: (Coughs out smoke) Yeah...luckily most of my body absorbed the explosions. So once again I Captain Frying Pan has stopped another crime from happening and protecting the innocents from evil...and...OW! And in need of some major burnt ointment.


Dr. Hanan: I'm very happy that you are taking protecting our city very seriously but...I can't help but worry that one day you'll get very hurt so bad that...you might not...


Captain Frying Pan: Now look Doc I understand your concern but take note I knew the responsibility's the moment I was gifted with the cosmic gem in my frying pan. But if I don't help save the day who will? Well I better get ready the Mayor needs me to see him at city hall for something urgent.


Dr. Hanan: What makes it urgent?


Captain Frying Pan: Because he texted me saying "I need to see you it's urgent!"


At city hall Captain Frying Pan is meeting with the Mayor in his office.


Mayor: Captain we have a crisis on our hands.


Captain Frying Pan: What is it Mayor? Terrorists? Aliens? Zombie invasions? Or even worse...YouTube Influencers?


Mayor: No! We are dealing with an famous international jewel thief, a jewel thief known as...Shadowcat!


Captain Frying Pan: Who is...Shadowcat?


Mayor: You don't know? She's famous all over the news.


Captain Frying Pan: Oh I don't watch the news just a lot of cooking competitions especially those British Baking shows, those Brits really take cake baking seriously.


Mayor: Well, Shadowcat is a well-known jewel thief, she has taken every jewel from Bombay, Paris, and even the earrings of the painting of Queen Elisabeth from England...don't ask me how she did that. She is very sneaky and only comes out at night, no one has ever captured her not even the S-ranked Superheroes has ever caught her.


Captain Frying Pan: Wow! S-ranked? Well I'm surprised you would rank me as S-rank.


Mayor: Actually I rank you at F-rank level but since you're our only superhero for our city we're desperate.


Captain Frying Pan: (Mumbles) Hoo F-rank me? F-rank you, you miserable little...


Mayor: Our museum is holding the rare Golden Jewels of Cleopatra they're priceless and it's no doubt she'll strike there.


Captain Frying Pan: What makes you think that she's even here in our city?


Mayor: Because she's also showboating and flashy. She left this little calling card.


He shows Captain Frying Pan a cat shape note saying "The Shadowcat will strike tonight for the Cleopatra Jewels. Meow!"


Captain Frying Pan: These cat-theme villains takes this cat burglar thing way too seriously. Don't worry Mayor you can count on me to protect those jewels. Good day!


He exits the room as the Mayor calls out...


Mayor: Captain! Would you kindly get out of my closet?


Captain Frying Pan came out of the Mayor's closet wearing one of the Mayor's fedoras.


Captain Frying Pan: Uh...sorry about that your Mayorship.


That night Captain Frying Pan is at the museum guarding the Cleopatra's Jewels pacing back and forth.


Captain Frying Pan: I'm stronger than the vault of the Colonel's Chicken Recipes, faster thana GrubHub delievery driver, able to eat limburger cheese and not have gas. I fight for truth, justice and the fried fast food way of life! TRA-LA-LA! Boy wish someone had heard that line that's one of my best openings.


He paces back and forth with his frying pan in hand getting ready to face off the Shadowcat.


Captain Frying Pan: No feline fatale is going to make a monkey out of me. After all nothing goes undetected under my watch.


Dr. Hanan's voice: Hello Percy!


Captain Frying Pan: (High-pitched voice) AHHHHHHHH!! DON'T HURT ME! I MEAN! (Clears throat and talks in a deep voice) Ahem! Whose there?


Dr. Hanan: Percy it's me!


Captain Frying Pan: Doc? What are you doing here? And how did you get in here? I made sure everything was secure, it's locked up tighter than fort Knox.


Dr. Hanan: Um...you forgot the lock the front door.


Captain Frying Pan: Uh...oops. Er...that's to...fool this Shadowcat lady into letting her guard down. She'll realize that she has made a mistake of robbing our fair city. Anyway why are you here?


Dr. Hanan: I brought you your supper, bucket of fried chicken and some zero sugar soda.


Captain Frying Pan: Why thank you! One has to keep up his strength before putting this cat in a cage. I'm ever alert and ever ready and ever hungry for justice!


Dr. Hanan: Captain maybe you should not underestimate her.


Captain Frying Pan: Don't worry about that Shadowcat, no cat burglar gets the best of me! She won't even get the shirt off of my back! Say does it feel cold in here?


Dr. Hanan: Um...Percy you just lost your shirt off your back...not to mention your pants!


He looks and saw that he's in his underwear.


Captain Frying Pan: YIKES! How did this happen?


He look and saw a shadowy cat figure holding up his shoes and his folded clothes in her hands.


Captain Frying Pan: Shadowcat! Why you little!


He dives towards her but she jumped over him and he crashed into a wall. She dumped his clothes over him; he quickly puts his clothes back on.


Captain Frying Pan: STOP THIEF IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!


Dr. Hanan: PERCY BE CAREFUL! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S CAPABLE OF!


Captain Frying Pan: She's a stupid cat-theme villainess how tough can they be?


Dr. Hanan: Have you ever heard of Catwoman?


The Captain gave chase as Shadowcat leap around the museum like a cat. Leaping and gliding with ease at lighting speed.


Captain Frying Pan: Wow she's fast but I can fly!


He used his superpower to flight up and flew over Shadowcat.


Captain Frying Pan: Hello Kitty! Time to put you in a kennel. Huh? YIII!!


The Shadowcat tipped over a large Ming vase; he quickly lands and catches it before it breaks.


Captain Frying Pan: HEY! Do you know how much this would set me back if this breaks under...HEY!


Shadowcat starts tossing smaller vases and other breakable valuables. He quickly catches and starts juggling them and safely puts them down on the floor.


Captain Frying Pan: WHEW! Boy that was close! You gotta do better than that sis...TER!


Suddenly a large marble statue lands on top of him flattening him like a pancake. He crawls out from under the statue and stretches out like an accordion.


Captain Frying Pan: (Woozy tone) Anyone up for polka?


Dr. Hanan: CAPTAIN! Are you okay?


Captain Frying Pan: Well...despite my brain and spleen is now at my feet I'm doing pretty good.


He shakes to his senses and went into the Cleopatra's Jewel's exhibit. He sees the Shadowcat trying to break into the display. He tosses his pan at her but she ducks in time for the pan to break the glass display.


Shadowcat: Meow! Thank you this makes it much easier to grab the jewel.


Captain Frying Pan: OH NO YOU DON'T!


He leaps again but to his surprise she ducked into the floor as a literal shadow and avoids getting grabbed, however he crashed into the display covered in the jewels. Then Shadowcat's paws stretched out of the floor and starts grabbing the jewels.


Captain Frying Pan: So that's how come no one could catch you! You literally are a Shadowcat.


Shadowcat: You got that right you chubby cutie you! Which is why I only commit crimes at night where my powers really thrive! No one can stop me! I'm untouchable.


Captain Frying Pan look and saw Dr. Hanan over at the main light switch and it gave him an idea.


Captain Frying Pan: Oh yeah? Well it's about time you saw the light! DOC HIT THE SWITCH!


She catches on quickly and turns on the main light switch that turns on all the lights in the museum eliminating all the shadows bringing the Shadowcat out of hiding.


Shadowcat: NO! TOO BRIGHT! MEOW-WOW! TOO BRIGHT! MEOW!


With no where to hide Captain Frying Pan stood over her as she looks up and says...


Shadowcat: Meow....you wouldn't hit a poor wittle kitty with that nasty frying pan...would you?


Captain Frying Pan: Hey Doc I think this cat has hurt her paws got any bandages?


Dr. Hanan: You know a good doctor is never without some of her medical gears.


She pulls out a roll of bandages as Captain used his super speed to uses the bandages to wrapped up the Shadowcat like a mummy.


Shadowcat: MMMPH! MMMRRPH! MMMPH!


Dr. Hanan: I called the police they should arrived in time to pick her up.


Soon the cops arrived and put the mummified Shadowcat in the back of the police cruiser. The Mayor congratulated both Captain Frying Pan and Dr. Hanan.


Mayor: You did the impossible Captain. You were the first person to captured Shadowcat.


Captain Frying Pan: I couldn't have done it without Dr. Hanan's help.


Dr. Hanan: Aw! You're so sweet!


Captain Frying Pan: So once again the tuna of evil has been canned into the can goods known as justice!


Mayor: Tell me how did you do it?


Captain Frying Pan: Well as it turns out she get's her powers at night where she can blend and move into the shadows at night without being caught or even being touch making her impossible to captured so with all the lights turned on in the museum her powers were taken away.


Mayor: Wait! Any shadow? So if...say that we put her in a police car with no lights but shadow she could...oh no!


Captain Frying Pan: Wait...you don't think?


Dr. Hanan: It's still night time and she's in a back of a shadowy police cart...oh no!


They all look and saw that the Shadowcat is gone leaving behind the bandages and her calling card with a note for the Captain.


Captain Frying Pan: "Dear Captain! Congrats on able to captured me! It was kind of fun toying with you! I'll leave the city for now but I hope we can meet again! Loved Shadowcat, Kitty-kitty meow! P.S. Love the little hears on your undies!" YIKE! Did she have to point that out?


The End.
