Chapter 3: First Objective
This didn't take long. Just so you know, the next paragraph here describes how Trigunner looks. Oh man. I've really gotten serious with this fanfic, didn't I. Oh well.
A pair of army pants and a knee high jacket with the same amount of camo. A navy blue T-shirt with a particular white star and wings. A black bandana around his neck. A black, webbed belt with a handgun and three grenades. Two guns, one an assault rifle, the other an automatic shotgun, both in sheaths and positioned in a fashion similar to one who'd dual wield swords. Two bracers on his wrists, each with their own set of tools on the underside of the forearm. H.U.D.-ed sunglasses, a large headset, a laser pointer on the left ear and a mic extending to half an inch from his mouth. And finally his favored cowboy hat which he wore to every campout since he was 13, on his head. Each item appeared in his hand with the flick of a wrist.
After everything was loaded, N.A.D.C.O. said, "Trigunner: locked and loaded. Good luck, Mr. Redfield."
Connor was ready for anything. All he needed was confidence and he can complete his objective. At this point he is the super hero, or in his case, super soldier, he anticipated: Trigunner.
Trigunner scans the school grounds. 7 armed intruders were holding 12 fellow students and 2 faculty on the outdoor stage. The students had their arms tied behind their backs and their mouths were gagged with a plastic cap. Luckily, the outdoor stage was facing away from the library. Trigunner takes his right arm and draws his assault rifle. He takes aim at one of the suspects. He begins to recognise their yellow hazmat suits and their 'sci-fi' ish guns.
"N.A.D.C.O.: analyse." Trigunner commands N.A.D.C.O.
In 3 seconds, the results came in,"Suspicion: confirmed. Targets are confirmed soldiers from Advanced Idea Mechanics, or A.I.M. Their guns are prototype railguns."
"They must be after me." Connor thought.
Connor opens fire and eliminates two of the soldiers. The other A.I.M. soldiers panic and try to intimidate Connor by pointing their guns at the students, but Trigunner shoots each of them before they even put their finger on the trigger. Trigunner gets onto the stage. He switches his left wrist to 'knife', and a hidden blade extends from beneath the bottom of his wrist, and he cuts the hostages from their bonds.
Trigunner asks one of the students what is happening. Apparently once the local police and S.W.A.T. realized that the perpetrators were from A.I.M., the immediately refused to help and called the Avengers.
Note: Sorry, but there are no West Coast Avengers at this point. This fandom takes place after the movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
"They're from New York City." Trigunner thought, "Even with Stark's advanced technology, they won't get here in time. I'll have to do what I can."
The student continues. There were 25 soldiers total that went into the school. Trigunner already shot 7, so that leaves 18. The student also points out that he saw a floating head on a rocket powered chair. It was shooting purple beams at people.
"M.O.D.O.K.…" Trigunner thought, "You just won't give up, will you?"
"Thank you, student." he told the student, "Secure yourself and the other students in the library while I secure the area."
The students went into the library and Trigunner went up to the second floor. He scans. On his HUD, he detects all the other soldiers. 16 in total, 4 in one classroom, 12 keeping a lookout on both floors.
"This will take some work." Trigunner said to himself.
He sneaks behind one of the soldiers, switches his gauntlet to 'knife', draws a hidden blade from it, and sneak-attacks the soldier, 'Assassin's Creed' style. He spots another soldier who didn't detect him begin to turn his way. Using his enhanced strength, Trigunner picks up the A.I.M. soldier's body and holds him like one would a large duffel bag. Once the other unsuspecting soldier came close enough, Trigunner used one arm to throw the body at the A.I.M. soldier, knocking him out almost immediately. Hiding the soldier's bodies in the men's bathroom, he goes to one of the classrooms.
He finds a teacher getting beaten by an A.I.M. soldier while she was trying to protect her students. The other soldiers have their guns pointing at the other 28 students.
"Nobody moves until we say you can move!" One of the soldiers said.
Trigunner realizes that a sneak-attack would be too risky, so he draws both his rifle and shotgun by their butt-stocks holds them like they were swords. He then rushes in with incredible agility.
He swings at the one attacking the teacher… one soldier down. 2 of the other soldiers cock their heads in his direction, only to receive 15 pounds of metal to the face. The last one was right next to the secondary door. He struggles to open it, but Trigunner leaps at the perfect moment to swing his shotgun into the back of the A.I.M. soldier's neck, and knocks him out cold. Trigunner looks at the doorknob.
"Idiots." he thinks, "They sealed this door themselves."
Trigunner sheaths his guns and with a decent kick, he breaks the seals on the door and opens it. He moves outside, the rest of the A.I.M. soldiers were all gathered on the quad. The all stood in attention before that Mobile Organism Designed Only for Killing.
"For an organic-ish supercomputer, M.O.D.O.K., you seem rather stupid." Trigunner thinks to himself. He then says to N.A.D.C.O., "How is it that I already know how to use my powers?" N.A.D.C.O. told him, "As well as your suit and abilities, being the Trigunner was written into your instincts. Simple as that."
Acknowledging that, Trigunner grabs a grenade from his belt and whispers to it, "Stun". Then a glowing band around the center of the grenade glows yellow. He throws it right into the band of A.I.M. soldiers. At first they thought someone was playing a joke on them, until their vision went into a blinding white and they heard a loud 'bang' which rang their ears, a lot. M.O.D.O.K. was caught by surprize and almost stumbled in his chair.
Trigunner draws his rifle and shotgun. This time, from their grips. He jumps on top of M.O.D.O.K. and balances himself and opens fire on the A.I.M. soldiers. He manages to kill all 12 of them.
"I've finally found you, Connor." M.O.D.O.K. said to Trigunner, "Now I will claim you for my own!"
In an effort to shake off Trigunner, M.O.D.O.K. spins hard in his hover chair, sending Trigunner flying into the trunk of a tree, and breaking it.
"Oh, great. That was our usual spot!" He thought as he was getting back up.
"Now, Connor Redifield…" M.O.D.O.K. says. Trigunner, on the ground and looks at M.O.D.O.K.'s headband. The Red gem in the center was glowing purple. "You are all mine! MAX POWER…" The gem glew even more! "PSIONIC BLASTER!"
The next thing Trigunner knew, he saw a purple beam hit him, and then it felt like his mind was coming apart.
"AUGH!" Trigunner shouts. On his knees and gripping his head hard, Trigunner tried his best to endure the attack. Amidst the agony, he thought he noticed a jet come in and a blue figure jumped out, but brushed the thought thinking it was a result of his mental pain.
"You are property of A.I.M., boy." M.O.D.O.K says to Trigunner,"Heroes aren't born, they're made, by A.I.M."
Just 3 seconds after he said that, a disk of red, white, and blue flies out of nowhere and hits M.O.D.O.K. smack-squared between his eyes, disrupting his Pionic Blaster. Trigunner quickly recovers from the blast and looks toward the entrance of the school at his right.. There stood a man with a uniform that reminded him of the American flag. A white star on blue on his chest, red and white stripes on his lower torso, and a big 'A' on his blue helmet. The man caught the disk and it had stripes of red and white and in the center of the disk was a white star sitting on a blue circle. The man strapped the disk on his left forearm, which let Trigunner know it was really a shield.
Trigunner's pacemaker is glowing yellow, puts his guns away, and all he can say is, "Are you…"
"Captain America." M.O.D.O.K. says to the first Avenger, in a rather flattering manner, "What brings you here?"
"I'm here to stop you like I always have." the captain says, "Kidnaping young adults for your experiments? You never stop making me sick."
"On the contrary, Cap, I'm, only here for that boy in camo right there." M.O.D.O.K. says, pointing to Trigunner with his stubby hand, "He is my experiment on an artifact I found the other day."
Trigunner got on his feet, his pacemaker glowing light blue, with a hint of angry red, and says, "Well, your experiment was a huge success, I'll admit." He stands tall and continues, "Even then, you have no right to have anyone for a slave. Besides, don't you think your head is rather grotesque?"
Angered, M.O.D.O.K. charges his lazer… psionic blaster and shoots at Trigunner, but he draws his handgun and shoot-dodges at M.O.D.O.K. just in time. 5 shots were fired, each of them going into M.O.D.O.K.'s big head. He readies a laser mounted on his chair, but Captain America throws his shield and removes it. Now slightly frightened, he flies over to the football stadium. Then, a large jet comes and drags him inside.
Both the super soldiers gathered on the bridge that separated the school from the stadium. Then they heard M.O.D.O.K. say from a speaker, "Agents of A.I.M., eliminate the Captain and our failure of an experiment!" Hundreds of men with yellow hazmat suits and weird looking guns came out of helicopters and trucks, all of which are branded 'A.I.M.'
"Looks your spirit alone won't hold up against this." Captain America says to Trigunner.
"Yeah. Just us two still won't do it." Trigunner says.
"In case you're wondering…" the Cap. says, "I didn't come alone."
At first Trigunner thought Captain America was just messing with him, until he heard him say the famous catch phrase only a true Avenger can say, "Avengers, assemble!"
Overhead, a blonde with a hammer, a big green beast, an archer, a redheaded agent in black, and a armored figure skydive from out of the sky and land on the bridge. Quickly, Trigunner recognises each of the heroes. Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Iron Man. Add Captain America, and you have the Avengers.
"Who's this kid, Cap.?" asks Hawkeye.
"Oh, that's right. You never told me your name yet, son." Captain America says.
"Which do you want. Real or hero name?" Trigunner asks.
"Just the hero, if you want to." says Black Widow.
"Trigunner." he says, "I'm just among the students here at this school."
"Indeed." says Thor, "You already seem young for a warrior of your size."
"Cut the talk! Let's smash!" roars the Hulk.
Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, and Black Widow charge into the crowd of A.I.M. soldiers.
Trigunner says to Iron Man, "Just wondering; do the Avengers have any job applications?"
"No. They come in shearly through invite." says Iron Man, mask raising to reveal his face, "If you show us what you got here, you'll have ours, when you graduate."
"At ease, Stark." Captain America says, "Trigunner, if anyone will give you a recommendation, it'd be me. Though until then, why don't you work with us, part time?"
Trigunner's pacemaker glows green, and all he can say is, "Captain, I'll accept the offer."
Stark then closes his helmet and says, "In that case, your first job as a part-time Avenger starts…" Iron Man pauses to notice a few soldiers charging directly under the bridge they're on. Just as they come up the stairs and point their guns at the three, "...now." says Iron Man. Then Captain America, Iron Man, and Trigunner charge into the squad of A.I.M. soldiers.
Author's notes: At first I only thought of Trigunner only meeting Captain America, but now he meets the whole Avengers team? I must have some really great ideas for this guy. Anyway
