Acid Point

**Acid Point** is a neighborhood in **Bayton City, West Coast, Cadaland Island.**

 It is based on **Presidio, San Francisco.** It is made up of a large recreational area that includes a zoo and a pier **(Acid Park)**, an old Z-MARINE outpost **(Fort Acid)** which is located under the **Palm Gate Bridge,** a few small retail buildings, and a large cinema. Acid Park is the largest park in Bayton City. The Palm Gate Bridge starts at Acid Point.

In the **Clown Force series** the neighborhood, like the rest of Coral Bay, only appears in **Clown Force Apocalypse: Coral Bay**, which is set in the year 2182, long after the dissolution of society after The Apocalypse. Like the rest of the planet, Bayton City and it's neighborhoods including Acid Point were left in ruins.

During the events of **Clown Force: Coral Bay,** the protagonist Vertex and his ragtag group of 5 other survivors were being chased through the now abandoned, narrow Bayton City streets by a convoy of WAVECORP soldiers, a post-apocalyptic military group who had been attempting to seize control over Coral Bay. Among the pursuing WAVECORP soldiers was the commander of the North Bayton City Division, Col. Xander Wick, a well known tyrant who hunted survivors in the ruins of the northern part of Bayton.

As Vertex shot at their pursuers with a mounted machine gun on their vehicle, a WAVECORP tank cut them off, coming out from behind the destroyed cinema and onto the street. Alarmed, the driver and close friend of Vertex, Crankshot, frantically swerved right of the tank, missing it by a few inches. He lost control of their jeep as the tank fired at them, sending them straight through the walls of the abandoned Z-MARINE base, Fort Acid. Disorientated and wounded, the team got out of the destroyed jeep and regrouped. Crankshot was brutally decapitated in the crash. WAVECORP infantry were pushing in on the base, firing at the weakened group of survivors. Enraged by the death of his friend, Vertex shot at and slaughtered many of the soldiers while his allies searched the base for weapons, ammo and an escape route. Outnumbered, Vertex retreated into the building and was chased by the soldiers, firing at him. Colonel Wick was among them. As Vertex fled through the hallways of the base, he hid behind a wall for cover. As he reemerged, the lone Wick appeared and fired on him. Vertex charged at Wick and tackled him against the wall, throwing his gun across the room. As the men fist fought, Wick managed to run and grab a shotgun, firing at Vertex. Unarmed, Vertex escaped the room and advanced onto the roof of Fort Acid, where he is met by his group, now well armed.

The survivors prepared for the incoming WAVECORP forces to reach the rooftop, ready to open fire. Unexpectedly, a WAVECORP attack helicopter appeared and fired at them, sending them running for cover. As it landed, Wick and a squad of soldiers emerged to the roof from below, holding the group at gunpoint, excluding Vertex who was hidden behind an ammo crate. Wick demanded that Vertex revealed himself, stating he would torture and kill his group at the WAVECORP precinct if he did not comply. Vertex sprung up from behind the crate armed with an M249 machine gun. He sprayed a hail of bullets on the WAVECORP soldiers in front of him while his team scattered. Wick had narrowly escaped and was hiding somewhere on the rooftop. All of Wick's soldiers had been killed by Vertex. Vertex told his team to clear out the base and make their way back down to the streets as he searched for the colonel and executed him. As he searched for Wick, the tyrant sprung out from behind a wall and tackled Vertex to the floor. Vertex struggled and he then spotted the Desert Eagle pistol in Wick's holster. He frantically grabbed the pistol jabbed it under Wicks chin, shooting him and brutally killing him. The blood-splattered Vertex then threw his body off the tower, where it landed and splattered near a group of WAVECORP soldiers being shot at by the survivors. After Vertex and his team regrouped, they stole a WAVECORP jeep and returned to their camp in Bayton Park to plan the next attack on WAVECORP.
