The crossover story of Young Avengers and Young Justice.
Disclaimer: I don't own Young Avengers or Young Justice.
Author's note: Yes! I did it! And sorry for another delay but this chapter is quite tricky because I didn't use all of the scenes of the episode
named Image of the Young Justice. Instead, I utilize two episodes of TMNT 2012 for this chapter. Well, to be exact, this chapter is inspired
from two episodes of TMNT 2012 called TCRI and Karai's Vendetta, an episode named Titanium Vs Iron of Iron Man: Armored Adventures,
and of course, the episode called Image of Young Justice. And believe me, it is hard to blend them together and turn out to be fruitful. Plus,
with some other things from Marvel Wiki like other times, it is pretty hard. Now, the Armors Wars arc is concluded, let see what story arcs that
I have yet to write; The Vibranium arc, the Relics of the Infinite Empire arc, or also known by its unofficial/temporary name as the "Urals" arc,
and the Chinese New Year arc. And one more thing, I will once again temporarily leave this story to write the other story. And just like the other
times, you people have nothing to worry because I won't abandon it and will eventually return one day. So now, please sit tight and enjoy the ride
from this chapter!
Chapter 26 Secrets
November 22, 17:06 2015, in the Command Center of HYDRA's underwater facility at Mount's Bay, in the English Channel...
"This is a disaster, sir! Not only we failed to eliminate the rest of the Excalibur before they know of our whereabouts, we also lost all
of the Guardsmen!"Said Arnim as he's looking at the holographic bodies of Red Skull and M.O.D.O.C on the holographic platform with Controller.
"Then bring them back!"Said M.O.D.O.C, knowing that the Guardsmen armors have the auto pilots like those of Iron Man.
"Yes, sir. I will call the armors back soon. But what about the agents inside?"Asked Controller
"If they're still in the armors, then it is good luck to them. If they aren't, then it's their bad day."Said M.O.D.O.C
"And with the Guardsmen are now captured, they must be on their way soon. So be prepared."Said Red Skull
"Understood, sir."Said Arnim and Controller and then the communication ended.
"And just in case, should I send out Doughboy?"Asked Arnim
"As a precaution, then the answer is yes."Said Controller and with that, Arnim leaves
the Command Center to get his personal creation to increase this underwater facility's defense.
Meanwhile, at the Garret Castle, in the Mission Room, in St. Ives, Cornwall, County of Cornwall, England...
"BOOM!"
"What was that?!"Asked Tigra
"Look!"Said Shiro and then he points toward to Shockwave, Mauler and Firepower, who are escaping by flying away.
"How did they reclaim their armors?!"Asked Spider-Man
"They didn't."Said Moon Knight and he shows them the holographic screen of their cells, which they're still inside.
"They're still inside their cells."Said Moon Knight
"Then who pilot the armors?"Asked Wolfsbane
"Iron Man's armors have the access for the control from afar. Maybe these three are no difference."Said Spider-Man
"Then we have to follow them! Despite we know the base, those armors cannot return to HYDRA's hands."Said Black Knight and everyone nods, agreeing with him.
Later, they all enter the Quinjet, except for Black Knight and Moon Knight, who have their own rides. They are soon catch up with the automatic high-tech armors.
But so does the HYDRA's agents, who are controlling them the underwaer facility in Mount's Bay.
In the meantime, in the Command Center of HYDRA's undersea base at Mount's Bay...
"Sir! We're being followed!"Said HYDRA's lieutenant
"Then make sure they don't!"Said Controller as he's standing behind them while looking at the large screen.
"Yes, sir!"Said HYDRA's lieutenant and he and the other two HYDRA's agents activate the weapons of each armor.
Back at the Sky above St. Ives, Cornwall, the Excalibur and the Team are still chasing the Guardsmen armors. As they're about to reach them, they suddenly split up!
"What the heck?!"Asked A-Bomb as the flying armors are suddenly split up. After that, Mauler's armor suddenly camouflages itself while Shockwave and Firepower
are heading toward to the junction of the Fore Street, where the New Craftsman Gallery is located, and begin the attack over there by firing lasers and small missiles
around, causing damages at the surrounding buildings and injuring many people in the area. By the time the heroes arrive, Shockwave and Firepower are already gone,
left only the damages they've caused. Seeing the people are badly injured and stuck, and worse, the fire is sill spreading, the Excalibur and the Team have to stop the pursuit
and help the civilians. By using her ice powers, Psylocke stops the fire from going any further by spraying the icy ray from her hands while the others are help getting the
injured and the stuck peoples out. By the time the fire is put out, the three automatic armors are already gone. However, that cannot stop them from going to HYDRA's base
because they now know where it is.
Later, at 22:11 at Mount's Bay, in the English Channel...
"Here we are, Mount's Bay of the English Channel."Said Psylocke and then she pilots the Quinjet to dive into the sea, keeping near at its bottom to see where
the HYDRA's underwater facility is. As they're heading toward to HYDRA's undersea base, Tigra spots something else is swimming around the ship. Its skin is cream color
and it has the form of the Plesiosaur. It's Arnim Zola's creation called Doughboy. With its shapeless body, it can manifest itself to look like whatever it wanted to be.
"Um, guys. Is that a... Plesiosaur?"Asked Tigra as Doughboy is swimming around the Quinjet. When Spider-Man and A-Bomb
take the closer look, they realize that it's not a Plesiosaur because of its slimy goo body.
"I think it's more like some sort of genetically engineered creature rather than a prehistoric sea reptile, Tigra."Said Spider-Man
"Okay, how was that less horrifying?!"Asked Tigra
"It's not. I was just saying what is accurate."Said Spider-Man
"Well, whatever it is. It looks like it's guarding that!"Said Moon Knight and he points out toward to a massive underwater facility with its upper part is made of glass dome
with the HYDRA's logo at its entrances at the lower part of the base, which is made out of metal. The base itself is located right at the bottom of the sea of Mount's Bay.
"You heard him, Psylocke."Said Tigra and with that, Psylocke activates the cloak mode and pilot the Quinjet toward to HYDRA's undersea base. When Doughboy is coming
closer to the ship, Psylocke launches the flare, getting it's attention. With the genetically engineered good-like creature in the form of the plesiosaur is chasing
the flare, Psylocke pilots the claoking Quinjet to one of the base's windows and look at the inside of the base and found that it is full with HYDRA's agents and all
of them are armed with laser blasters.
"So... how are we going to get pass those guards?"Asked Sunfire
"How about we make them come to us?"Asked Spider-Man as he's looking at the massive undersea base intently. Then, he spots the pipes
at the lowest part of the base, which are releasing the trashes out of the base. Once he saw it, he immediately turns to look at Psylocke.
"Psylocke, can you establish the psychic link?"Asked Spider-Man and with that Psylocke shuts her eyes and establish the psychic link.
"Is everyone online?"Asked Psylocke through the psychic link.
"Okay, this is weird!"Said Wolfsbane
"Such an amazing experience, this is."Said Moon Knight
"I concur with you in this."Said Feron
"Whatever. We need to get inside somehow without getting caught."Said Black Knight
"No worry, I have a plan. See the pipes over there?"Asked Spider-Man as he's pointing to the pipes that are releasing the trashes from the underwater facility.
"If we did some damages, it may get some people's attentions in there."Said Spider-Man and then he looks toward at Psylocke.
"Can you lift a boulder nearby or something and put it in there? That is the fastest and the safest way."Said Spider-Man
"Of course, I can. I just need to concentrate."Said Psylocke and with that she shuts her eyes and a moment later, a large boulder floats up from
the bottom of the river and with Psylocke's psychic powers, it's being slammed right into one of the pipes, blocking the trashes from coming out.
"Now, wait for it..."Said Spider-Man and then a moment later, a small platoon of HYDRA's agents in
the diving gears come out from the base with three HYDRA Dreadnoughts to deal with the boulder.
"You know, this facility is very large. There has to be more people in there."Said A-Bomb
"This is why I asked Psylocke to established the psychic link first. Because we're going to split up. The first group will be the diversion, the second group
will infiltrate the base and go retrieving Iron Man's armors specs and information, and the third group will go rescue the captured members of the Excalibur."Said Spider-Man
"Now that is a great plan, dude!"Said A-Bomb
"They'll be expecting us. So we will be the diversion."Said Black Knight as he's joining his team.
"And we will rescue your teammates and find Iron Man's armors specs."Said Tigra
"Then let's finish this mission!"Said Sunfire
Later, at one of the Entrace of HYDRA's undersea base...
"BOOM!"
After an explosion, the water then plunge into the base and the Quinjet immediately comes right through the hole the blasts from its laser cannons just made.
Once the emergency door is activated and the water is automatically drained out by the base's system, the Excalibur them rushes out from the ship and begin
the attack on the HYDRA's agents in the room, keeping them away from seeing the Team is leaving the Quinjet. Once outside of the ship, the Team notices that
Doughboy is back by look at one of the base's windows. However, that is not their problem now. So they continue with the plan by split up just like how Spider-Man
planned earlier and go separate ways. Spider-Man, A-Bomb and Psylocke are going for the Command Center, where the specs and information about Iron Man's armors
are being kept while Tigra and Sunfire are looking for Nightcralwer, Polaris and Scarlet Witch. Both groups then found the elevators and see that go to the Command Center
is up while the dungeon is down. So they waste no time in activate the elevators, get inside and go for the final destinations of the mission.
Later, in the Lower Part of HYDRA's undersea base, in the Dungeon...
"Here we are!"Said Tigra and she gets out of the elevator with Sunfire and begin to take a look around. Tigra then sniffs the air and found something unpleasant.
"They're no longer here!"Said Tigra
"Then where are they?"Asked Sunfire
"In the lab further below."Said Tigra as she's turning to look at him.
Meanwhile, in the other Elevator of HYDRA's underwater facility...
"And stay down!"Said A-Bomb after he punched a HYDRA's agent into the face, knocking him out cold. Psylocke uses her psychic powers to life the last two HYDRA's agents
in the elevator up and smash their heads into one another, knocking them out, and drop them. With all agents in the elevator are defeated, Spider-Man then webs up those
who are not webbed by him. With all seven HYDRA's agents in the elevator are down, Spider-Man presses one of the buttons and go to the Command Center with them.
Soon, they arrive at the Command Center which is completely empty. After they left, they all failed to notice that the elevator has been activated and go down to take
on more HYDRA's agents.
"You guys take a look around. I'll deal with the files that they stole from Mr. Stark."Said Spider-Man and he walks to the main computer,
sit down and trying get access for the files. But the files are heavily encrypted and it would take time to crack it.
"Oh come on..."Muttered Spider-Man as he's cracking the files. Suddenly, the elevator returns and
once it opened, Controller silently walks out from it with three HYDRA's agents with laser blasters.
"UGH!"Shouted Spider-Man after the psychic wave from Controller hit him. He turns to A-Bomb and blast him, making him fall to unconscious too.
When he is about to blast Psylocke, she turns around and blast him back, sending him and the other HYDRA's agents down. The agents are knocked out
but Controller is not.
"Nice move, girl."Said Controller as he's getting up.
In the meantime, in Zola's lab...
"Here we are!"Whispered Tigra as she silently walks out from the elevator with her boyfriend. She takes a look around and see two HYDRA's agents armed with laser blasters
and at the center of the room, Arnim Zola, is having Nightcrawler, Scarlet Witch, and Polaris, imprisoned in the pods, which are connecting to the canisters by the tubes that
each one is containing some sort of the substance made from the mixture of the mutated DNA and some other chemicals.
"Wait for me! I'll call when I need you."Whispered Tigra and Sunfire nodded in understanding. Then, Tigra sneaks out like cat. Each move of hers is very silence and by
the time the HYDRA's agents know what happened, they both are unconscious. With two HYDRA's agents are beaten, she slowly sneaks upon the HYDRA's robotic scientist
in order to secretly release the captives. When Zola turned away, she slowly goes for the computer and press the green buttons, releasing Nightcrawler, Scarlet Witch and
Polaris from the pods. As she is about to go to help one of them get on their feet, a large man in black and green high-tech armor with HYDRA logo on the right shoulder
suddenly comes down from the ceiling and grab her at neck.
"NO!"Shouted Sunfire once he saw his girlfriend in trouble and quickly rush out to help. But then,
he was shot right in the torso from the left by Arnim Zola, who's holding a laser pistol.
"Ugh..."Groaned Sunfire as the HYDRA's mad scientist is approaching his the large armored HYDRA's agent, who's holding his girlfriend as a captive.
"Such a luck, that Project: Titanium is finished in time. With Titanium Man, you're no match for HYDRA!"Said Arnim and suddenly, Sunfire, who is now completely covered
in fire, blast him in the back, getting his attention. Then, Titanium suddenly gets blasted by magical green and red bolts, making him release Tigra from his grips. Tigra
turns around and see Scarlet Witch and Polaris are standing with their hands are glowing with magical bolts. When Titanium Man gets up and is about to open fire on them,
Nightcrawler suddenly appears on his back and teleport him away. Then, both of them appear outside of the base, at the bottom of the sea. Then, Nightcrawler disappears
once again, leaving Titanium Man alone at the bottom of the sea. However, that cannot stop HYDRA's secret project.
"Send backup to Dr. Zola's lab immediately!"Said Titanium Man through the communication device
installed in his armor. After that, he activates his boot jets and heading toward to the base.
Later, at the Command Center in the Upper Part of HYDRA's undersea base...
"Such a bold girl, you are."Said Controller and then he uses his psychic powers, which comes from the helmet he's wearing, to fight against her psychic powers.
Both, the A.I.M's leading scientist and the young heroine is in the tug-of-war against one another by using the telepathy powers. Then, Controller mentally overpowers her
and forcing her to be on her knees. Then, Controller connects his psychic link with her.
"With this helmet, I can see who or what you are inside."Said Controller through the psychic link,
then Psylocke sends a psychic wave to hit him right in the head, sending him to fly hit the wall.
"Not bad. Not bad at all. But if there is one thing you need to know about me is this. Whatever you can do, I can also do!"Said Controller as he's getting up.
"I can sense your fears, girl!"Said Controller as he's reading her mind.
"Fear... of rejection! Fear... of who you really are!"Said Controller
"No! It's not! This is who I really am!"Said Psylocke as tears are beginning to form at her eyes, knowing that he now knows what she really looks like.
"Breaking into A.I.M's partner hidden facility and severely damaged it, this sentence serves you well in my sight. So Controller controls you to show who,
or rather what, you really are!"Said Controller and then he sends a massive psychic wave to hit, forcing her to obey his command. Psylocke does her best
to resist the mental command from him. But with the helmet he's wearing keep enhancing his psychic powers, she is overpowered. Subdued, she shuts her eyes as
her skin are soon getting paler and paler. Now, she is as pale as snow. Her black hair and her fingernails are getting longer and longer. At mouth, four fangs
are starting to appear. Suddenly, she opens her eyes, revealing the bloody red color on each one while her inner eyes are black as night. Once the transformation
is completed, she lets out a ghostly hissing voice.
"*ROARRR!*"Hissed Psylocke
Meanwhile, at the Lobby of HYDRA's undersea base...
"Ugh!"Said HYDRA's agent after Wolfsbane knocked him out. Moon Knight jumps into the air and kick the last HYDRA's agent, who keeps shooting at him, right in the face,
knocking him out cold as well. With all HYDRA's agents from the entrance that they entered toward to its lobby are defeated, the Excalibur is ready to move out but then,
Titanium Man enters the base with Doughboy, who is now in shape of an eel. Upon seeing the HYDRA's logo on Titanium Man's right shoulder, they know that he is an enemy.
"This day just keep getting better..."Said Wolfsbane sarcastically.
"Yeah, couldn't agree more..."Said Feron and then Titanium Man and Doughboy rush toward to Black Knight, Moon Knight, Feron and Wolfsbane.
In the meantime, at Zola's lab in the Lower Part of HYDRA's base...
"Keep your paws of me, girl!"Said Arnim as he's grabbing Tigra's torso with his hands while she keeps slashing her claws at his screen, making scratches on it.
Seeing his chance, Sunfire then covers himself in fire and jump toward to the HYDRA's robotic scientist and punch him right int he back, making him fall and
let go of his girlfriend. With Zola's defeated, the mission to rescue Nightcrawler, Scarlet Witch and Polaris ended in success. But then, a group of HYDRA's troopers
requested by Titanium Man arrives be elevator and immediately open fire on them once they saw them.
"Oh crud..."Said Tigra and she rushes out with her boyfriend and three members of the Excalibur.
Back at Command Center of HYDRA's underwater facility...
"Ooh..."Groaned Spider-Man and A-Bomb as they're beginning to wake up. Suddenly, another psychic wave hit them,
knocking them unconscious again. But those blasts didn't come from Controller but from Psylocke herself!
"I have to say that is smartly done."Said Controller through the psychic link while clapping his hands.
"Brain-blasting you own teammates. I had no idea you go to such a lengths to hide your
true self from your good friends."Said Controller while his opponent is looking at him angrily.
"Oh, actually, I did. But you needn't have bothered. It's been recorded for posterity."Said Controller as
he's showing her the picture of Psylocke as the Yuki Onna on the large screen of the Command Center.
"NOOOO!"Shouted Psylocke and she sends a wave of psychic blast to him but he shields himself with a psychic force field.
"Uh-ah-ah! I didn't say 'Controller controls or... says'!"Said Controller and suddenly, everything went white for Psylocke. Soon, she found herself is falling from the sky,
as her human form, and then landed in the taiga forest of the Kingdom of Latveria. Of course, she knows that this is not real. This is merely just the world made by
the psychic powers of Controller. Unknowingly, the psychic link has been disestablished after she got engulfed by the white beam from Controller.
"Come, now. We both know that who you really are. Must you even lie to yourself?
Within your own mind?"Asked Controller after he appeared right before her out of nothingness.
"It's not a lie! This IS who I am!"Said Psylocke and then she blasts him with the darkly purple psychic wave
but he shields himself with a darkly red force field, creating from his psychic powers as well.
"Wow. And they say I'm pathological."Said Controller and he takes off the shield and fire the darkly red beam from his head to her, sending her to hit a tree.
"Off our game, are we?"Asked Controller as he's flying up toward to her.
"Let's take a little deeper. Find out what you're really afraid of!"Said Controller and then black beam enlarges from his helmet and swallow her and everything.
Then, she found herself is standing alone in the dark in her true form as the Yuki Onna. To make the matter worse, the illusions of her friends are standing
before her and they all look very frigthening as they're looking at her.
"Keep back!"Said A-Bomb while the illusions of Tigress Shark, Mockingbird, Molten Man, Firestar and Snowbird are backing away from her and disappear in the darkness.
"Well, of course. Friends shrink from you in fear."Said Controller and the illusions of
Black Widow, Iron Man, Captain America, Vision, Wasp and Yellowjacket appear behind her.
"You should have told us."Said Black Widow after she turned around to look at them.
"I'm sorry but I can't see the reason to trust you anymore."Said Captain America
"Agree with you, Cap."Said Iron Man and then all six Avengers turn away from her and disappear like her friends. Then, the faces and upper bodies of her father and
her mother then appear where her friends once stood. Her father is a British man wearing the suit similar to that of Captain America but with the symbol of Great Britain
on the chest and the mask instead. He is Brian Braddock, or better known as Captain Britain. Her mother is a Japanese woman named Ran Seko, now Ran Braddock.
She's wearing the light blue kimono with long black hair and the skin that is pale as snow. She is the legendary female yokai of Japan called the Yuki Onna.
"I'm sorry, Nanami. But I don't want a half-breed for a child!"Said Ran
"And so do I!"Said Captain Britain and then he and his wife disappear by fading away into reddish dusts.
"NNNOOO!"Shouted Psylocke mentally and with that out burst the darkness around her disappear. Only to return when the snowstorm suddenly hits her.
Once again, she is standing in the darkness alone. But then, she found two figures are standing on her left and right. It was her best friend, Tigra,
and her ex-boyfriend, Sunfire.
"You know what, Eliza. We're done! I cannot believe I was being friend with a disgusting hanyou like you!"Said Tigra
"And to love you?! I can't even look at you!"Said Sunfire and with that, both of them leave her alone by walking away in the darkness.
"NNNNNOOOOOOOO!"Shouted Psylocke mentally and this time, it's louder than the time her parents abandoned her.
"Ooh... what would you do to prevent that, now right?"Said Controller as he's walking out of nowhere and then, turn around to look at her.
"That's right!"Said Psylcoke as she's beginning to take control of everything in this world.
"Now, now, my pretty. I know you don't want to do anything you'll regret."Said Controller by speaking it out loudly, not through the psychic link.
"You don't know me at all!"Said Psylocke and then she blasts a darkly purple beam to Controller's chest and expanding it, letting it consumes him while he screams in pain.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"Screamed Controller as he's fading away in the purple light.
Later, at Zola's lab, the battle between the heroes and HYDRA's platoon is reaching its climax and the heroes are on the winning side. Nightcrawler teleports himself to be
above two HYDRA's troopers and he grab both of them and throw away to the other two, who were firing at Scarlet Witch. Both, Polaris and Scarlet Witch, are using their
sorcery and their powers by mutation given by HYDRA to fight against the HYDRA's troopers below by firing magical energy bolts at them. Sunfire blasts several fireballs
to the HYDRA's agents in his way, melting their weapons and sending them hit the walls with those blasts. Tigra jumps into the air and landed on a HYDRA's agent,
kick two more by leaped into the air and kick them at the faces. She grabs two more agents and throw them to the incoming three HYDRA's agents before her. Soon,
all of the HYDRA's agents are defeated and the heroes emerge victorious.
"Finally, it's end."Said Sunfire
"Psylocke! Are you there?"Asked Tigra through the psychic link established by her best friend. However, she receives no respond.
"Eliza! Can you hear me?!"Asked Tigra through the psychic link again.
In the meantime, at the Command Center...
"Ooh..."Groaned Spdier-Man as he's getting up from the ground without realizing he is no longer on the chair. But he immediately acknowledges about that when
he sees Psylocke is working on getting rid of the files about Iron Man's armors and the other stuffs from Stark-Fujikawa Solutions in HYDRA's main computer.
After he got up, A-Bomb soon gets up from his slumber too.
"What happened?"Asked A-Bomb
"Controller brain-blasted you two. But have no worry, he is already dealt with."Said Psylocke and then she heard the mental voice of Tigra.
"Eliza! Can you hear me?!"Asked Tigra and with that, she immediately reestablished the psychic link with all members of both, the Team and the Excalibur.
"I'm here, Greer."Said Psylocke through the psychic link.
"What happened? When I called out, you didn't answer. Are you okay?"Asked Tigra
"I'm okay. I was dealing with the guy known as Controller from A.I.M. I'm sorry I didn't notice the link was disestablished. The fight was so intense."Said Psylocke
"Not to mention me and A-Bomb got brain-blasted by him."Said Spider-Man
"And are you guys okay?"Asked Sunfire
"We're okay now. And we're already having our hands on the files about Iron Man's armors. What about you guys?"Asked Spider-Man
"The captives have been rescued but Zola managed to harvest their DNA and combine them into the canisters full of chemicals."Said Tigra
"We can't let those canisters stay in HYDRA's hands. Who knows how much dangerous they could be and what are they going to use them for!"Said Black Knight
"Then take them with us! There are just three of them anyway."Said Sunfire
Back at Dr. Zola's lab...
"Then let's do this!"Said Tigra and she runs to the three canisters with Sunfire. Each canister is containing the glowing blue, green and scarlet substances, respectively.
As they're picking them up, Arnim Zola regains his consciousness. As he's getting up, he sees that two young heroes are meddling with his experiments. Having enough
of them, he decided to take them out. He grabs a blaster of a defeated HYDRA's agent nearby and aim it at them. Scarlet Witch sees this and immediately prevent him
from shooting them.
"NO!"Shouted Scarlet Witch as she's blasting scarlet magical bolt from her right hand to his blaster when he shot out.
With the blaster hit, the shot is going for the computer instead and once it hit, the electrocution occurs.
"Oops..."Said Scarlet Witch in shock as the lab's main computer is being electrocuted after it was shot.
"Have fun with the graveyard you just dig yourselves into, heroes."Said Arnim as he's making his way to the elevator and escape.
"We got the canisters!"Said Tigra as she's approaching the three members of the Excalibur
with the glowing blue canister in her hands while her boyfriends are holding the other two.
"Got it!"Said Nightcrawler and then Scarlet Witch and Polaris touch him while he places his hands on Tigra and Sunfire. Then, he teleports all of them
and himself away to where the other members of the Excalibur are right now. Once they appeared, they see Black Knight and the others are busying
fighting against Titanium Man and Doughboy.
"ROARRR!"
Doughboy is sliding around and hitting his opponents with his tail and also roaring at them. Moon Knight then throws three crescent darts to him but
they're proven to be ineffective because those darts simply just go through his silmy goo body. Feron then steps and use one of his spells on Doughboy.
"By the Icy Tendrills of Ikthalon, stop this vile creature from wrecking havoc!"Said Feron and then he blasts icy ray from his hands to the eel-shaped slimy goo creature,
freezing him. Suddenly, a loud explosion happens, shaking the ground. That is because Arnim Zola's lab in the lower part of the base just exploded. But the explosion takes
out more than just Zola's lab. It destroyed the other rooms in the nearby area too and one of them is where the chemicals supply are being kept. With the fire from the
explosion hit those chemicals, another explosion happens it is wider and worse than the first one because it takes half of the lower part of the base. Now, the base is
crumbling because it cannto support itself. To make it worse, the water is now plunging inside the facility nonstop and fast!
Meanwhile, at the Command Center...
"Something tells me we should leave this place like right now!"Said A-Bomb after he heard the explosions and the ground beneath him is shaking.
"Almost..."Said Spider-Man as he's working on getting rid of the specs and information about Stark's technologies from HYDRA's database. He took over the job from Psylocke
right after he woke up. Lying on the ground nearby, Controller is now in the mental coma, juding by his eyes are completely blank and his sliva is coming out of his mouth.
"And done!"Said Spider-Man after he erased all of the information about Iron Man's armors from HYDRA's database.
"Then let's go!"Said A-Bomb and then he runs to the elevator with Psylocke and Spider-Man to rejoin the others. Soon, they arrive at the lower ground and go for
the entrance that they use to enter earlier. Once there, they see Titanium Man is firing lasers around to everyone in the area. With that, Psylocke decided to help
by use her psychic powers to grab him and hit him around the walls until he is unconscious. Once he is dropped down, the Team and the Excalibur go for the Quinjet
and leave this collapsing undersea base. As they're leaving for the surface, the underwater facility of HYDRA is finally collapsed. However, that doesn't put the end on
some people.
Later, in the Command Center of HYDRA's underwater facility...
"*Sigh!*"Sighed Arnim as he's entering the room with Titanium Man and his creation, Doughboy, who is now
in the form of a gorilla, Once he entered, he sees three HYDRA's agents are picking the body of Controller up.
"Take him to one of the HYDRA-Droids that are still at the nearest entrance. Nobody died by either the explosions or by drown, so hurry."Said Arnim as he's approaching
the trio. They nodded as the replies and take the comatose Controller away while Arnim Zola is walking up to the computer, activate it and found an interesting video
recorded by his partner from A.I.M.
"Hmm..."Groaned Arnim as he's looking at the video about Psylocke as the Yuki Onna.
Next day, November 23, 02:58 at the Mansion on the Avengers Island, off coast of New York...
"Thanks for bring them back home in one piece, guys."Said Iron Man as he's shaking Nightcrawler's hands.
"No problem."Said Nightcrawler and with that, he leaves with Black Knight fir the Garrett Castle in Cornwall, England, by the teleporter.
"So... Eliza. Are you okay?"Asked Greer as she's approaching her best friend while the others are going
to the souvenirs' chamber to place the newest one they got; a HYDRA's trooper's masked helmet.
"What do you mean?"Asked Eliza
"You know what I'm talking about. Controller, he knows about it. Doesn't he?"Asked Greer
"Greer!"Said Eliza, silencing her best friend because she knows where this is going.
"You know you have to tell everyone one day."Said Greer
"But... they won't accept me! Unlike you, I'm a half-breed! To make it worse, my true form-"Said Eliza
"-is who you really are! Elizabeth Nanami Braddock, you are who you choose to be. Not what others make you."Said Greer
"Speaking is always easier than done, you know that."Said Eliza and before Greer could say anything, Peter, Rick and Shiro arrive to join the conversation.
"Hey girls!"Said Peter as he's waving to them.
"What're you two talking about?"Asked Rick
"Nothing! We're just... going to go to bed."Said Eliza
"Ooh... then see you tomorrow! If I survive Aunt May, of course."Said Peter as he's walking toward to the teleporter with Rick to get to their homes.
After they left, Shiro, Eliza and Greer leave for their own rooms. In Eliza's room, when she is about to fall asleep. M.O.D.O.C suddenly appears before her.
"Huh?!"Asked Eliza
"No need to be aggressive, girl. I'm here to make a proposal."Said M.O.D.O.C
"Save it! I want nothing to do with either A.I.M or HYDRA!"Said Eliza
"Oh! You will cooperate with us or..."Said M.O.D.O.C
"Or what?!"Asked Eliza
"Or... I'll tell everyone about who you really are."Said M.O.D.O.C and with that, Eliza gasps.
"Thanks to the collaboration between HYDRA and A.I.M, we often get some results that one alone cannot achieve.
And your real appearance is one of them!"Said M.O.D.O.C as he's floating closer to her a little.
"Now, I hope you will reconsider to cooperate. If not, the A.I.M will make sure everyone knows what you really are!"Said M.O.D.O.C and then
he disappears in flashlight, leaving Eliza alone to think about what he just told her.
Author's note: I know what you guys are thinking, right? Why didn't the Team just use the teleporter to get to the Garrett Castle in the first place in
the previous chapter? Well, to be true, I forgot about it. But for the in-universe's reason, it would be about the teleporter at the Garrett Castle was
during the reparation back then. And now that the Armors Wars ended, Nightcrawler, Scarlet Witch and Polaris are now rescued, and plus with
the Team was being there, the Excalibur have more hands to help them on repairing the teleporter. And once it is repaired, the team uses it to
get back to the Avengers Island. But then another question would be raise. What about the Quinjet? Well, the Excalibur can pilot it across
the planet to give it back, of course. As for how M.O.D.O.C is capable doing such thing as teleport, in Avengers Assemble, he is capable of that ability.
I don't remember which episode because I got this information from the Marvel Wiki. And for what happened to the Guardsmen armors? They are still
stuck inside the collapsed HYDRA's undersea base in Mount's Bay and will eventually be collected once they return to collect whatever left there. As for
those three canisters, they're being taken by Iron Man to S.H.I.E.L.D to study about what kind of substance that each one is containing inside. As for why
Eliza's mother was calling her Nanami instead of Elizabeth, that is because Nanami is her Japanese name. One more thing, Moon Knight won't be joined
the Team yet because his mentor, Black Knight, is still have to think about this.
Questions, reviews, suggests, comments, requests and PMs to me would be appreciate.
TheGreatGodzilla's out, see you people next time!
