Chapter 21: The Army Rises
The Iliad 2015
The Doctor, Jack, Coulson, Skye, Mack, Cal, Lincoln, and Thor rushed through the halls of the aircraft carrier to get on deck. Jiaying, who was revealed to be a Zygon in disguise, was already there with Gordon, a blind inhuman with powers of teleportation. They had a briefcase filed with a blue chemical that will wipe out the human race and leave only inhumans if exposed. So, it was imperative that the team stop them. Eventually, they made it outside and found Jiaying and Gordon alone in the center of the deck. They were inspecting the contents of the briefcase. They swiftly shut it when they saw the entire team arrive and stand by the doorway.
"You're too late." Jiaying said.
Coulson and Mack held small guns and aimed them at the two of them. Skye and Lincoln aimed their hands and we're ready to unleash their powers. Thor had his hammer and the Doctor had his sonic screwdriver.
"Is it true?" Skye yelled to Jiaying. "Have you been lying to me? Are you really a Zygon?"
Jiaying had a look of disappointment on her face. Instead of answering Skye, she decided to show her. Jiaying's body started to morph and change until she became a tall, red Zygon.
"It's true." The Zygon Jiaying said to Skye. "You're mother died a long time ago. I've just been impersonating her."
"You're outnumbered." Coulson shouted. "Stop this now."
"Never." Jiaying said.
Suddenly, a bright blue light energy surrounded Gordon and he disappeared. He teleported somewhere. Gordon suddenly reappeared behind the team and began fighting them. He teleported at rapid speed to each member of the team and attacked them. Gordon single handedly created a frenzy of confusion around them so that their attention was no longer on Jiaying. The Doctor had enough of this. Gordon appeared in front of the Time Lord. The Doctor quickly pointed his screwdriver at Gordon and activated it. Then, Gordon tried to teleport away, but found that he couldn't. The sonic technology was interfering with his abilities. Then, Gordon started to glow bright blue. After a few seconds, he was consumed by a small explosion of blue energy and disappeared.
"Did he teleport?" Thor asked.
"No." The Doctor said. "He's dead."
The group then turned their attention back to the Zygon Jiaying, who was running towards one of the Quinjets. Coulson took a careful aim and then fired his gun at her. The bullet from Coulson's gun hit Jiaying in the arm. It caused her to let go of the briefcase, which slid across the deck and fell into the ocean.
"No!" Jiaying shouted.
Her plans were now ruined. She would survive being shot in the arm by a bullet. The Zygon Jiaying then pulled out a laser gun that she was concealing and aimed it at the S.H.I.E.L.D. team. Just one blast would kill whomever it hit, except perhaps Thor.
"Put it down!" The Doctor yelled to her. "It's over."
"You'll pay for this!" Jiaying yelled.
She then fired the laser gun. A yellow laser blast shot out of the gun and hit Cal. He then dropped dead to the ground.
"No!" Skye yelled.
Jiaying then pressed a button on her vortex manipulator and transported herself away from the ship. Skye knelt down to be with her dead father. They had saved the world, but Jiaying had escaped and no one knew where she would go. The blue chemicals fell into the water, and would silently leak their way into the fish and later into the human populace. However, that was a problem for another day. Now, the Doctor was getting a call from Clara in Moscow on his cell phone. So, he answered it.
"Clara." The Doctor said. "Things aren't going as we planned here. There's something I have to tell you about Jiaying and the Zygons."
"My news is more important Doctor." Clara said. "Jim and Tim are dead, but we couldn't stop them from completing their plans. The Zygons are out. There will be millions of them pouring into Moscow any minute. Then they'll spread out across the world."
"Try your best to contain them." The Doctor said. "I'll get Agent May, Captain America, and the others and then we'll be in Moscow soon. Good luck Clara. Be careful."
The Doctor then hung up.
"What's going on?" Thor asked.
"The Zygons are out." The Doctor said. "Millions of them are going to crowd into Moscow soon. If they aren't stopped, they'll spread to the rest of the world."
"Sounds like we're going to Moscow." Lincoln said.
"We have to get the rest of our team first." Coulson said.
3W Institute 2015
Neither Coulson nor the Doctor knew that Captain America, Hawkeye, Agent May, Hunter, and Bobbi had all been kidnapped by Missy and Ward and brought to the 3W Institute. Ward had agreed to be Missy's new companion, something they were both excited about. Now, Missy sat in her white office at her desk. Across from her, Raina and Ward sat.
"I called you both here for a special reason." Missy said. "Raina's had a vision."
"I saw Zygons." Raina said. "They're about to invade Moscow in the millions, but the Russians won't be able to contain them. They'll spread across the world."
"What does that mean for us?" Ward asked.
"It means we have to act quickly." Missy said. "Our plans mean nothing if the Zygons conquer Earth. So, we have to do it before they have the chance."
"So what are you going to do?" Raina asked.
"I'm going to raise my army of Cybermen." Missy said. "Today."
Missy had already started the process of waking her army. The Cybermen had been kept in chairs that were inside tanks. Now, the tanks had been emptied of water and Cybermen. There were six tanks however, still being used. However, none of them had any of 3W's dark water in them. The tanks now functioned as prisons. Unconscious and strapped to a chair in each tank was Captain America, Hawkeye, Agent May, Hunter, and Bobbi. The sixth tank had something else inside. It was a Cyberman. However, this Cyberman was not silver. It was black. Missy brought Ward and Raina down this hallway to check on the black Cyberman.
"What is that Cyberman for?" Ward asked.
"It's a little side project of mine." Missy said. "Earth is defended by the Doctor and those superheroes in the Avengers. I need a Cyberman that can handle them."
"What?" Raina asked.
"He's still developing now." Missy said. "When I'm done with him, I'll have my very own super Cyberman."
