Chapter 6 - The Hunt (1)

June 16 1943

Europe, Liechtenstein 

Somewhere in Liechtenstein, there was a hidden Hydra facility where Hydra weapons were being manufactured. There seem to be a lot more strange, laser-like noises coming from the unassuming factory. Perhaps a new, even more dangerous weapon was being manufactured and tested

Suddenly, a man speaking German shouted 

MAKE THOSE PRISONERS WORK FASTER. WE NEED TO MANUFACTURE THE FIRST BATCH OF THOSE NEW WEAPONS. IT IS A DIRECT ORDER FROM Obergruppenführer HIMSELF!!!

HAIL HYDRA!! The voices of the hydra soldiers echoed through the factory

 The work of the unfortunate prisoners of war intensified

Clank! 

Clank! 

Clank! 

But worry not, for it won't last any longer

out of nowhere throughout the whole base, all light sources were simultaneously coated in a thin layer of darkness, which completely blocked off any light from illuminating the base

And then the base was completely plunged into pitch darkness

The Germans were confused at the sudden blackout

An angry voice loudly shouted in German, probably the one in charge of this facility

WHICH FOOL TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS!!

He then turned to a Hydra soldier beside him and said with anger.

You go activate the backup generator, NOW!!

and then turned to the others and said loudly, THE REST TURN ON YOUR FLASLIGHTS AND FOLLOW ME TO THE CONTROL ROOM.

But before he could walk another step, he heard a fear-stricken voice from outside

THE SKY HAS GONE DARK!!??

What!? Said the man, perplexed at what he heard, and then rushed outside

But what he saw made his blood run cold

He then muttered in fear and disbelief

How is this possible!!? its still 4 PM. It should be sunny outside, but why is it completely dark? Where is the sun?!? i cant even see past 2 meters.

Narrator: The man couldn't understand the horrifying phenomenon that he was experiencing, but was it really a NATURALphenomenon.

PIERCE!

AAAAHH!!

Out of nowhere, a loud, pained scream was heard

WHAT'S GOING ON???! shouted the man, dread evident in his face

PIERCE!

AAAAAHAHHHH!!

But the screaming only intensified. At first, it came from one direction, then from all over the facility. The man could not see anything, but he could hear the sound of flesh being pierced all around him.

Then, as suddenly as the screams started, they stopped

An eerie silence filled the now pitch-black, hidden Hydra facility

SOMEONE ANSW-PIERCE! the man was about to shout, but he no longer had the necessary organ to do so

The man looked at his now pierced neck that was dripping like a fountain 

And

Thud!! he collapsed

Precisely at the vocal cords, said Eldrin, and then looked back at the factory and said 

You can come out now!

awkward silence

Lad, could you turn the lights back on? We can't see in here. said a voice from inside the factory.

Oops muttered Eldrin awkwardly, and with a flick of his wrist, light filled the factory again

YOOOHOOO!!

YEAH!!

FREEDOM!!

loud cheers came from the factory as the now free prisoners of war rushed out of the factory

47 men of various origins came to view, some with overgrown beards, others with stained clothes, but they all now had something in common: they were free

 My sincerest apologies for the gruesome scene you just witnessed, but I had to take out the threat once and for all, so you and i wont have to deal with it ever again. I said 

Hahahah, lad, we are all hardened soldiers; if we could, we would have skewered those snakes from their asses, said a man as he approached Eldrin

names Alistair Ross, said the man while extending his hand for a handshake

Clap!

You may call me Eldrin, said Eldrin while shaking the Mans Hand, and then continued

Now that our Hydra friends have politely closed the factory due to some personal issues, I said while momentarily glancing at the formerly living man with a hole in his neck, 

You will be taken back to America by me so you can figure out where to go and what to do from there. If you have any objections, now is the time to voice them. I said while looking at the men

The men looked at each other, as if they had already decided.

Lad, we would appreciate your kind actions, said Alister Ross, and then continued with a sigh but unless there is a plane or something that can help us cross the Atlantic Ocean, traveling all the way to America from here by foot is simply impossible

I never said we would be traveling on foot, I said with a smile while controlling the shadows and creating a huge platform made of solid darkness

GASP!!?

Magic??

The 47 men couldn,t believe their eyes, out of nowhere, a huge dark platform materialized before their very eyes

Alister Ross: So this is how he killed those Hydra bastards!? With Magic!?, It was pitch black back then. I could barely see the ground; all I heard were piercing sounds. So I thought he simply killed them one by one with a knife while the lights were out. No, wait, that's simply impossible, after all, he was but a single man against at least 58 Hydra soldiers with freaking lasers, but with whatever black magic he just used killing 58 men with lasers should be a walk in the park for him, I thought, astounded and shocked

This will be your ride home, said Eldrin with a smile.

Wheaton, New Jersey, Camp Lehigh

June 16 1943

10:00 PM

Inside a room in the Military Camps' main building, there was a man, his eyes had black eye bags under them, probably from the lack of sleep; he seemed to be anxiously tapping his pen on the table. He was none other than Chester Phillips

Chester Phillips: WHAT KIND OF VOODOO BULLSHIT IS GOING ON IN THIS WAR!?, FIRST AGENT CARTER INFORMED ME THAT A MAN MAGICALLY INFILTRATED THE MOST HIDDEN AND SECURED FACILITY OF NEW YORK CITY, AND CASUALLY REVEALED THAT THERE IS A HIDDEN HYDRA AGENT ON THAT SAME BASE. I thought, exasperated at the pure bullshit, and if that wasn't enough, now I got information THAT HYDRA HAS LASERS!! I thought while violently throwing my hat into the wall in pure anger

A defeated sign escaped the man's lips, and then he muttered

I'm too old for this shit.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Colonel Phillips said the man behind the door

You may enter, answered Colonel Phillips after picking up his hat and putting it back on

Door opens

thud!

A young soldier entered the room, and he looked astonished, like something out of a movie had just happened before his eyes, and the colonel noticed that

 What is it this time? Wait, let me guess. Did a magician descend to save 47 men, and then with the help of his magic carpet flew all the way here from across the Atlantic Ocean? I said, amused at my imagination

The young man's face was filled with shock And said

sir how did you know??

When I heard him say that, at first i though he was messing with me and said with a stern voice

Soldier, are you joking around while on duty

The young man answered nervously at the stern Colonel

 Sir i would never! This is exactly what happened

When the boy confirmed that he wasn't joking i felt my world fall apart
