Spike and Lola were in disguised and walking in a mall on high alert, they then saw a disguised looking suspicious. Spike and Lola crept to a post then Spike grabbed the figure and pulled to the restroom hallway pinning her there "Who are you what do you want" Spike barked taking her hood off and to their surprise.
"Starlight" Spike said.
"Don't hurt me I'm here to help heard Agents were after you, so I came here to warn you they will be here soon" Starlight said quickly.
"Follow Lola and do what she does because she is better at blending in than me" Spike instructed the mare who nodded "Lets get out of here" he said pulling his hat down and putting on a pair of reading glasses.
"first we need to find where the drive was made from and past on to us" Lola said "The main thing going on the run starlight since Spike knows a fair amount, don't run walk" she said.
Spike looked at the loose shoes on his feet "If I run in this things they'er going to fall off" he muttered.
Spike looked around and saw some Strike agents 1000 yards away with his vision "Okay there is hostiles 12 a clock coming at us, 3 behind us and 4 below us if they make us i'll engage" he said.
"Shut up and put an arm around Starlight and laugh" Lola said.
"What?" Spike said.
"Just do it, now" Starlight said, Spike put an arm around her and laughed as Strike Agents passed them and turned back around.
"Lets go to the computer store so we can find the source for the you know what" Spike said.
"Then up it is" Lola said as they went to the escalator, they arrived at the store and at the last computer "How long we have?" Spike whispered and went down.
"3 to 4 minutes tops from now" Lola said putting the drive in the computer "Your right whoever designed this doesn't want us to find out, whoever made this is slightly smarter than me, a slight bit smarter" she said blowing up a map diagram, Spike looked around staying alert "Okay you said 4 minutes it's 5 so hurry" he ordered softly.
"Relax" Starlight and Lola replied.
"Can I help you folks" a stallion walked over, Spike stepped in front.
Then Starlight wrapped her forelegs around his middle and Lola wrapped an arm around his other shoulder.
"Getting married" Starlight said quickly.
"Yeah my brother is finding some spots to plan for a honeymoon for his fiancee over here" Lola said.
"Yeah were getting hitched" Spike said.
"Congrats where are you going?" Spike glanced at the screen and saw a town pop up "New Shirsey" he replied looking to him, the stallion looked deeper and Spike tensed up "I have the exact same glasses" he smirked.
"You guys are almost twins" Lola said.
"I wish well see y'ah folks" he smiled and walked away, Spike got in and pressed a few buttons getting a bit annoyed and an area popped up making him look closer.
"You now the place" Lola asked.
"More like heard lets get" Spike said pulling the drive out and the three headed off and headed back down and they saw Rumlow coming.
"Kiss Starlight" Lola whispered.
"What" Spike said looking at her.
"Public Display of Affection make ponies very uncomfortable" Lola said.
"Yes they do especially in front of crowds" Spike frowned but kissed Starlight's lips as they held each other Lola playing along "Get a room you two" she groaned covering her eyes as Rumlow went past and saw the display and shook his head 'really?'
as he was past they broke away headed down the stairs "still uncomfortable?" Lola asked Spike who was exhilarated.
"Not exactly the word I'd used" Spike said breathlessly.
Spike, Starlight and Lola were ridding in an old carriage to lay low with Spike driving "Where did you learn to steal one of these things" Lola asked.
"I hotwired many of HYDRA's airships and were borrowing so take your feet off the dash" Spike replied.
Later they arrived to their location it was Bucky's old training grounds and boot camp, Spike looked around the place. He looked at the building that looked to be a bunker "Hmm Bucky told me that was never there" he frowned and walked to it, he broke the chain off with his shield's edge and with a grunt and glowing eyes he pulled them open and they walked in.
They looked around nothing, then Spike looked at twin heavy iron book shelves, he tested the shelves then hit a spot on the wall and with a rusty gears it strained opened 2 inches Spike glared with glowing eyes he dropped his shield and grabbed a shelf and ripped one off followed by another with a deep grunt and tossed them to the sides with a crash and they saw a Elevator Spike pressed a button as he picked his shield up and it opened then pressed a code in from Lola's device which could be traced so he grabbed it and crushed it in his hand.
"What was that for?" Lola demanded.
"They can track these remember" Spike replied and they went down. They saw the Angel X symbol "This is where ANGEL X was born" he said he saw his old Friend Jack from STRIKE Force picture on the wall. they saw a room filled with monitors and computers, networks red blinking lights, the set up was 100 yards away half way through a heavy steel frame, the saw a slot and Lola put it in and the computers and systems lights came on and a camera moved and blurry green face came on.
"Captain Drake identity: Dracone also known as Spike" a Familiar voice for Spike spoke, the Camera moved to Lola "Lola Ramona: known as the Red Scorpion" it spoke, it moved to Starlight "Mare known, Name unknown" it said a third time.
"It's some kind of recording" Lola scowled.
"I am not a recording Fraulein" it snapped "i maybe not be the stallion I was when the Captain took me prisoner but I am" it said revealing it's picture making Spike turn fully at the computer with a glare "You know this Dipstick?" Lola asked.
"The nameless German Scientist that worked for Thrax, he's been dead for years" Spike said.
"Your Half correct I am Swiss and another correction look around you I am so very alive, I was diagnosed with a terminal sickness science could not save my body, my mind was worth, over two million thousand feet of Data banks you are standing in my brain" he said,
"How did you get here?" Spike demanded.
"Invited" the image told him.
"When Hydra fell Angel X recruited scientists with great value" Lola told him.
"It sounded like a Bad idea" Spike frowned.
"You would be correct they thought I was helping them but I helped my own goal, rebuilding Hydra from scratch, An unseen parasite among Angel X" the image agreed.
"HYDRA died with that insane and sickened Griffon" Spike spat.
then it showed the image split it's head in two before showing one "cut off one two more will take it's place" it reminded.
"Prove it" Spike huffed, the computer projected some newspapers "Over the years Hydra rose they knew Ponies and creatures couldn't be trusted with their freedom so they made an order so terrifying Equestria will give up it's freedom, you defy that and stand against or they believe your a threat to their plans your brought down" he explained.
"Thats impossible ANGEL X would've stopped you" Lola said to Spike.
"accidents will happen" the computer said showing Spike's two old friends killed, Spike knew their deaths were not an accident at all, it was caused by HYDRA and their henchmen The Winter Soldier, also Treks death was planned he said.
"With no threats for HYDRA our new order will arise" it told them, Spike Lola knew suddenly Project Eagle Eye wasn't for ANGEL X it was for HYDRA "We won Captain, your sacrifice play" it told Spike as it showed him as Captain Drake saying: the Hero Who sacrificed everything and Captain Drake Disappears from Equestria
"means the same thing as your old lifetime, a zero sum" it sneered, Spike had enough in his rising anger that festered from the Truths he plowed a fist into the computer screen breaking it then shot his arms to the sides with a yell and brought them in tensing and curling his claws snapped them out with an angry yell as the monitors, monitors supports and computers, networks red blinking lights were ripped off and wrinkled then torn apart against the wall and exploded in wires glass and circuits the desk were broken to pieces of metal and tampered glass from a massive out burst of telekinesis erupted from Spike, then a smaller Computer on the floor which somehow survived with just a badly cracked screen, the Scientists face popped up
"As I was saying" he continued Spike stormed over and picked it up "Whats on this drive?" Spike demanded angrily.
"The Project can't work without insight so I wrote the countries, the population and the threats on the list" the scientist told them.
"How many are on the list and whats the range?" Lola asked alarmed.
"you will be too dead to hear I was stalling" he chuckled Spike had enough so he threw the computer against a wall shattering it it, the doors started to close down the hall, he blurred to them and planted his feet and hands against the door and held them open with glowing eyes as he grimaced, the Dragoness and mare ran to him, Spike crouched and bent his arm before snapping his limbs out shoving them down and up breaking them with a loud Clunk!
"Spike two short range missiles fired 10 seconds tops" Lola said.
"Who fired it" Spike demanded.
"ANGEL X" Lola replied, the three heard the missiles coming. Spike ripped off a rusty iron screen tossing it away grabbed his shield and wrapped an arm around Starlight's middle and his tail wrapped around Lola's waist and threw themselves down the hole as the missiles hit destroying the bunker.
Spike was bracing his shield over his head avoiding heavy rocks falling in their heads as the second destroyed the ground, then it stopped and grunts were heard and Spike's burning and blazing and slitted eyes shinned throught the dark and Starlight activated her horn and saw Spike was holding possibly 5 to 7 tons of concrete, destroyed gravel, scraps of metal with his shield on his arm over his head and his other clawedhand was holding another pile at an angle his legs shoulder width apart and bent at the knees, Spike then used his tail to check for weakspots.
Spike then looked at Lola and Starlight "okay found a weakness blast it" he ordered, the two nodded then launched breath of flames and a magic blast destroyed the side and the three got out.
10 minutes later a Team arrived only to find tracks "What does it take to catch this dragon?" Rumlow grumbled "Director he got away" he said
Sam Wilson was in his home drinking some orange-juice after a run when he heard a knock he opened it, it was Spike, Lola and Starlight Glimmer with dust in some places.
"Sorry to do this to you but we need a place everyone is trying to hunt us down" Spike said.
"Not everyone, come in" Sam told them as he looked around but saw no one.
