New Allies And A Strike Against The Villains.

A couple days has passed and while the attack at the villains' main base resulted in some injuries, the plan was ultimately a massive success. The heroes had damaged the villains base to the point it set them back by a lot and they were able to steal vital information from the villains that gave them the advantage they needed to finally strike back against their enemies. And since the villains were forced to delay some of their plans, it allowed the heroes the time they needed to send out more drones that could keep an eye on what their foes were up to. And right now, they had found another one of their bases.

The base didn't seem to dangerous, but regardless the heroes couldn't risk leaving it alone. So Captain America and Winter Soldier decided to check it out. It has been a while since they had a chance to work together like they used to back in the days, so this was a good chance for them to remember those days. However as they were on their way to the base, they suddenly detected something on their radar.

"Is that... a distress signal?" Bucky asked.

"Looks like we are taking a little detour" Steve said as he turned their jet towards the direction of the signal.

"It could be a trap, Steve" Bucky pointed out.

"I am aware, but nothing we can't handle, right old friend?" Steve asked with a knowing smile.

Bucky couldn't help but to smirk a little "Yeah, I am yet to meet anyone who can stop us when we work together".

Soon they arrived at the location of the signal and saw some people on the ground. Steve told Bucky to be on guard as they excited their jet and where met with 4 people. 3 men and one woman.

One of the men looked to be in his 40's. He was wearing an outfit that clearly showed that he was a soldier and he was also wearing an eye patch. Nick Fury would be proud. But the look on his face made it clear that this guy has seen a lot in his time.

The second man looked to be in his late 30's, he had dark skin and was very well built, one look at his arms was enough to know that he was someone you'd want to think twice about picking a fight with. He was wearing a white tank top and camouflaged pants, along with combat gloves and a bandana on his head. It was easy to tell he was also a soldier, and had seen more than his fair share of action.

The third man looked to be in his mid 30's, he had blonde hair and was wearing a cap on his head. He also had the same type of pants as his comrade, but instead of a white tank top, he was wearing a purple shirt and a pair of sunglasses. He was also very well built, which is to be expected, given the company he had.

And finally the woman. She was easily the youngest of the bunch, looking like she hadn't even reached her 20's yet. She had blue hair and was wearing a yellow tank top which hugged her bust, and like her two earlier companions, she was wearing camouflaged pants and a pair of combat gloves. Despite her young age, the look in her eye made it clear she was no rookie. She had a similar look as Black Widow and Cammy. One could only imagine what she had seen.

"Greetings. Are you the ones who sent that distress call?" Cap asked. They didn't seem to be a threat, but one can never be to careful.

"That's right, glad someone finally showed up. And two American soldiers at that" The man with the eye patch said.

"Guess our outfits is a dead give away. My name is Steve Rogers, Captain America. This is James Barnes, the Winter Soldier" Steve introduced himself and Bucky.

"Interesting code names. Call me Heidern, the muscle head is Ralf and sunglasses here is Clark. And the beautiful but deadly lady is Leona" The man now named Heidern introduced himself and his team "We are called the Ikari Warriors".

"Pleasure to meet you Heidern. Now I have a feeling I already know the answer to this, but do you know where you are?" Steve asked.

Heidern shook his head "Afraid not. We were investigating an strange anomely that was accuring all over the planet. But we got caught in something which pulled us in to some kind of portal. Next thing you know, we ended up here".

"As I expected" Steve said.

"Sounds like you know something. How about you be a pal and tell us everything you know" Ralf said, but his tone made it sound more like a demand, and the fact he was cracking his knuckles didn't help.

Bucky got in front of him and glared in to his eyes "Don't you think it's a little early to be making demands?".

Ralf glared back but luckily Steve and Heidern pulled them back before punches started flying. Steve was the one to speak "Calm down you two. I have no reason to withhold information. Explaining all of it would take more time than we have. But the short version is: You have all be pulled to another dimension".

"Another dimension?" Leona asked.

"Yes. A tyranical warlord did something which caused parts of different realities to be pulled to this one. We and our allies have been working non stop to find a way to defeat him and restore everything to normal" Steve answered.

"Sounds like a load of crap to me" Ralf scoffed.

"I don't know. We've seen a lot of things that we never would've believed in before" Clark pointed out and Ralf sighed, knowing Clark was right.

"So what will you do with us now?" Heidern asked.

"We can bring you back to our main base if you want. You can learn all the details there. But I'm afraid you will need to wait because me and my friend here are currently on a mission to take down an enemy base" Steve answered.

"An enemy base? Would this base happen to be guarded by soldiers with strange looking uniforms and high tech weaponry?" Heidern asked.

Steve nodded "That is right".

"Me and my team here saw a base earlier. We considered asking them for help, but my gut told me they weren't the helping kind" Heidern said.

"Your gut might've saved your life. They are called HYDRA. The worst terrorist organization from the world we came from" Steve said.

"If they are terrorists then there is no way we can leave them be. How about we form an alliance for now? I can tell you are more trustworthy than most new people I meet" Heidern offered.

"Well some extra help never hurts. Very well, follow me and I will brief you on the way" Steve said as he motions to the jet.

Ralf gave Bucky a look "I got an eye on you, punk".

Bucky held up his metal fist "Look to closely and you might go blind".

"Enough you two, let's just go" Leona said as she headed to the jet with Clark.

Soon after, Bucky and Ralf joined them.

During the flight, Steve briefed the newcomers to the mission "Alright, our mission is to take down this HYDRA base and stop whatever they are plotting. Our intel shows that this group is led by this man" Steve brought up a picture of a large man who was wearing a mask with a skull on it, as well as a skull on his chest "This is Brock Rumlow, AKA Crossbones. He is a ruthless mercenary who has operated as the right-hand man of the Red Skull, the head of HYDRA. He is as though as they come and capturing him is highly recommended".

"Heidern this mission don't sound to difficult. We have moved through far deadlier bases than this" Heidern said.

"Good to hear. But I want to make something clear. Me and my allies prefer to not kill, we follow a rule that we won't take another human's life. But I know you are soldiers and we don't have the time to argue. So try to promise me this. If you are going to kill anyone, make sure you only do it in self defense and if there is no other option" Steve said.

"Don't worry, Captain. It's true that we all have blood on our hands, but we are not murderers, and a living enemy can be more useful than a dead one. So you have my word we will keep the body count as low as we can. And we will only kill if it's either them or us" Heidern assured.

"Glad to hear it, Heidern. Get ready everyone, we are here" Steve said as he set their jet down a safe distance from the Hydra base.

With that they got to work. They entered the base easily enough and so far it didn't seem to bad. They even split up, each given the means to communicate. But something was wrong. This was to easy. Even lesser HYDRA bases normally had better defenses than this. Something wasn't right.

Steve entered the main room of the base where he hoped to find Crossbones... but found nothing "What is going on here?".

Suddenly a screen turned on, revealing Crossbones "You are getting predictable in your old age, Captain".

"Hiding Rumlow? You normally aren't this much of a coward" Steve said.

"It's called strategy, you should know about that. As much as I would love to beat the life out of you myself. Why bother when I got this?" Crossbones said as he held up what looked like a trigger "I've already activated the self destruct system. Soon this base will blow, taking out everything within a 20 mile radius. You and your new friends will never get clear in time".

"You're insane Rumlow! You will blow up too!" Steve pointed out.

"You think I am stupid? Escaping via a ship is a lot easier than escaping on foot. See you in hell, Rogers" Crossbones said before the screen turned of.

Steve looked outside and saw a ship was starting to lift of, and he quickly contacted his allies "Team! Crossbones is escaping in a ship and he has a trigger for the self destruct system! Anyone that can intercept him?"

"I see the ship. Leave Crossbones to me" Leona answered.

"Be careful Leona, I will join you as soon as I can" Steve said.

With Leona, she was running towards the ship "Copy that Captain. I will do what I can until then".

Leona dashed forward and jumped towards the ship before it could close. Getting inside she kicked a HYDRA agent in the chest, sending him in to the wall of the ship. She then quickly disarmed and beat down another agent before he could raise his weapon. Leone stopped when she felt a gun next to her head.

"Hello sweetheart. I wish we could have some time together, but I am afraid I am on a tight schedule, so I have to kill you" Crossbones said as he pulled the trigger.

But just before the gun fired, Leona ducked to the side, allowing the bullet to miss her head by less than a centimeter. She then quickly knocked the gun out of Crossbones' hand, before throwing a punch, which he managed to block before throwing a punch of his own. Leona avoided the punch and kicked another HYDRA agent hard enough to send him flying in to the cockpit, damaging the controls and making the ship start falling back towards the ground. Leona blocked a right hook from Crossbones, but he quickly followed up with a fast left punch to her gut, making her cough a little but she quickly retaliated with a punch to Crossbones' face, before she tackled him out of the ship, making both fall on to the ground.

Leona got back up with a small glare "Hand over the trigger".

"Oh you mean this?" Crossbones asked as he held up the device that controlled the self destruct system before putting it away "Come at get it!".

Leona charges at Crossbones who throws a punch, but Leona dodges and punches him a few times. She then kicks Crossbones in the gut, but he grabs her and head butts her before throwing a punch to her face, he charges in with another fist ready, but Leona kicks him in the gut before jumping at him, wrapping her legs around his head and used her full body weight to throw him in to the ground hard. Crossbones growls as he stood back up.

"You will pay for that!" He declared as he pulled out a knife.

Leona got ready, dodging several swipes from Crossbones' knife before grabbing his hand and twisted the knife out of it. But Crossbones knees her in the gut before lifting her in to the air and slamming her back down on the ground. He then grabbed her by the neck and began shocking her. Leona couldn't breath but still managed to move her legs in to a position where she could kick Crossbones in the face and force him of. Crossbones was ready to continue, until he heard beeping. He looked down and saw and earring. He got wide eyes as he realized to late what it was. He tried to dodge, but the earring exploded. While he managed to escape the worst of the blast, the shock wave still hit him.

He slowly got back up just to see Leona grab the trigger from him and then proceeded to deliver a barrage of punches and kicks before focusing her chi to deliver a powerful blow that sent Crossbones in to a wall. He groans for a moment before he was out cold. Leona deactivated the self destruct system just as the rest of the team joined her.

"Nice job Leona! I knew you could do it!" Ralf praised.

Leona smiled at him before turning to Steve "Think you can trust us now?".

"Yes. I believe I can. Let's get Crossbones on board and let my friends clean up the rest. You all still have a lot to catch up on" Steve said.

"You guys aren't bad. Maybe this will work out after all" Bucky said.

"You're not to bad yourself, maybe you're not such a punk either" Ralf said.

Bucky took the compliment and everyone got ready to head back. Another win for the heroes.
