The stand-off of sorts continued. Cap "you do realize I'm an angel of god right." Mullah Kunai "I've heard about…changes you've gone through…"
Even before the mullah could finish cap called forth his Spartan shield and threw it hard for one of the technicals' big guns. It cut right through its barrel. Before they could bring their guns around on cap his shield was already back on his arm. He went right at Kunai jabbed him in the throat and then used him as a human shield with his actual shield held before him; its edge pushed up into his throat. The men tensed at this sudden turn of events.
"Bucky would have disposed of you eventually," said cap firmly into Kunai's ear. "He kept you alive because you were useful. Don't mistake that for mercy or friendship. I guarantee you it's not."
Kunai brought up his hands as cap restrained him. This signaled his men to lower their weapons. "I am aware you are a man of great power Captain. That much is apparent. Allah has chosen you-" "screw Allah and your pedophile prophet. Piss on all of you. You haven't heard about the new America; which I helped create. Islam is banned there for all time. Western warriors are retaking our lands. Not all of us are fat and cowardly or don't know what sex we are. They call us alpha males today. Hell in my time we were just called good men. Whatever. It doesn't matter. Point is you've stirred the pot and we're done with you cavemen." "Captain, what are your goals here?" "To help the troops still serving here in this hell of a war that is older than some of them are. And to dirt nap more sadistic goat screwers like you."
Cap then snapped Kunai's neck before he could say anything. Cap then threw the dead Taliban scumbag right into the squad closest to him. "Molon labe assholes…" cap threw his shield into the Taliban fighters. The shield did its thing as it usually did while cap leaped into another group of baddies and bashed away. Their guns fired into each other and missed him; cap took them down without pause.
The technical big guns opened up but cap stayed ahead of them. He rolled gathered up a dropped baddie rifle and sent an auto burst into a technical big gun shooter to knock him well and clear of the gun.
More big guns turned in his direction. They fired; his shield had taken down a good number of baddies before then appearing on his arm again in a flash of light. Cap sped up as this happened. Shield up, rounds hammered into it. He then leaped up into a technical and smashed his shield into the face of its big gunner before then manning the gun.
Cap now saw what the cowardly bastards intended to do; as they always would do in the face of opposing courage. They pointed their guns at the villagers. Not today fellas.
Cap fired into one big gun baddie and took him out. He then angled his fire for that baddie technical engine block and blew it to hell. Cap used his shield to block a few more baddie big gun rounds before then angling the gun there to destroy the next technical as well. He'd already saved a good number of civvies here.
Cap jumped down shield ready to resume fighting. The remaining baddies were scrambling to get the hell out. Cap scanned the battle space with his power to better read them. He'd demoralized them big time with Kunai's takedown. He'd been the glue that had gelled the unit. In this case classic snake head removal. The Taliban were still like hydra ultimately but it was a start.
The villagers watched in astonishment as the Taliban left in their infamous Japanese brand pickups and on foot even. Many without shoes. Either way these bullies had been dealt a blow by a former small guy. A small guy that hated bullies of any kind.
The villagers surrounded the bearded white infidel from afar with a magical Spartan shield and cheered and ululated. It appeared cap had made an impact. Then again liberators usually did. Nomad had struck again.
