Two communications officer from the British Special Air Service were eating their midnight snack with their feet up the table. As the two enjoyed their snack, the computer in front of them suddenly let out a noise to notify them. One communications officer leaned forward and saw the words INCOMING TRANSMISSION was displayed on the laptop.

"Uh... Harry? Did anybody tell us about a transmission we're supposed to receive?"The communications officer asked, confused.

The other officer, Harry, shook his head and finished his bag of sour cream potato chips.

"Look."He showed him the incoming transmission displayed on the laptop and the two shared a look of uncertainty.

Erik entered the briefing room, rubbing his eyes as he has just recently awoke and is holding a cup of black coffee and he sat down next to Gustav. Henry Beckett and his companions were seen in the back.

"So what's this about? Is it about that leftover lasagna? If it is, then yes, it was me."Snotlout said but mostly everyone ignored him as Hiccup entered the room and walked towards the podium.

"Okay, everyone settle down,"Hiccup said as everyone was then silenced,"1 hour ago, two of our communications officers received an unknown transmission."

"From who?"Astrid asked.

"We don't know."Hiccup said as he then looked at the two officers from earlier,"Richard, play it."

The officer nodded as he then typed into the laptop and replayed the unknown transmission as it was projected through a projector.

A voice was then heard.

"Can you hear me?"

Henry was then alerted,"That's him."

"Who? Perseus?"Dagur asked as Henry just nodded.

Another voice, who was unfamiliar to everyone, was then heard.

"Yes I can."

"I have a delivery for you. The shipment is headed to you right now as we speak, is that understood?"

"Crystal."

"And one more thing, Victor Bludvist was killed."

"By who?"

"We don't know yet, we found his body on the airfield in Poland with his throat ripped off."

"Oh fuck."

"And we have reason to believe that the same people who killed him may want to intercept the shipment as well."

"I promise to you, my men will keep the package safe."

"Good. This conversarion is over."

After that, the transmission ended. Dagur was the first to break the silence as he stuttered.

"T-This is crazy. It just is. I mean, it's still hard to believe that now we're involved in fighting a crazy mad man who wants to destroy the universe."Dagur said, still trying to digest the information that Henry gave them.

"I know, and I'm also having a hard time to believe it as well but... I guess we have to get along with it."Hiccup said, drinking some coffee he brought along with him.

"So what do we do?"Erik asked, leaning forward with his arms crossed.

Hiccup then paced around,"Baseplate has tasked us to investigate this suspicious shipment from 'Perseus'. We'll be on plot within the hour. Wheel's up in 0200. Everyone, dismissed."

Everyone then stood up and walked out of the room as Astrid stayed behind.

"I don't know what to say Astrid... Other that I'm having a hard time on believing that all of this is happening. First, we were fighting terrorists and now we're facing a mad man who is capable of who knows what?"Hiccup said, looking for a bit frustrated as Astrid places her hands in his shoulder.

"Don't worry, babe... I'll be standing right with you."Astrid said as she pecked his cheek and Hiccup smiles.

Task Force 141 with SAS

A UAV drone was seen flying above the said warehouse in Canary Wharf, where Perseus's Operatives and other unidentified masked assailants were seen loading a crate inside of a truck as the lieutenant of the masked assailants were seen conversing with one of Perseus's commanders.

"Are your sure that your leader would promise us the equality among all benders?"The man asked as the Perseus Operative, who was holding a SPAS-12, chuckles.

"Having doubts?"

"No, I'm just curious if your so-called leader would keep the end of his deal."The lieutenant said.

"Don't worry, as long as you carry out his orders, he'll give what he promised."The Perseus Operative said, unaware of what's about to happen.

On the other side, a Boeing MH-6M Little Bird landed as SAS Operatives jumped out of the helicopter,"Bravo Team is on the ground. Good hunting, guys."

Hiccup, Erik, Astrid and Gustav were gathered around as Hiccup taps into his comms,"Baseplate, we're online. Midnight view."

"Roger that, Bravo-Six. There's a truck in the docks that is being loaded in what we believe might be the shipment from the transmission from earlier. At this time, we believe they are targets."

Erik then butts it,"Out sources say what they are transporting?"

"Negative, no actionable intel came from this and we have reason to believe it may be chemical weapons."

"So why not get a Spectre in here and sink the whole thing in the river then?"Gustav asked.

"Too high profile, Bravo-Ten. Vulture's birds will provide air cover for now."

"Let's just get this thing done and dusted."Hiccup said as the UAV drone then detects hostiles from another warehouse.

"FLIR is picking up heat signatures in the warehouses. You will need to clear those buildings before securing the truck."

"My team will take Warehouse One, Charlie-Seven will handle the other."Hiccup said as the UAV camera shifts view to Hiccup's team behind the warehouses,"Baseplate, our window is closing fast. We're ready to kick this off."

"Copy that. All teams, you've got the nod. Mission is a go."

Hiccup nods as he places a mag on his SIG MCX Vitrus Patrol, Astrid slaps the bolt of her MP5SD, Erik cocking his Heckler Koch 433, and Gustav inspecting his G36C.

"All right, let's do this."Hiccup said as they jumped over the fence and goes through the alley,"We are cleared to prosecute all targets."

"Contact."Gustav said silently as a Perseus Operative walks out of the back of the warehouse to smoke a cigarette.

"Weapons free."

Gustav aimed his G36C and fired, immediately killing the Perseus Operative. He immediately changed his mag.

"Nice shooting."Erik complimented.

"Alley clear, move."Hiccup commanded. They move inside of the warehouse and begin to look around.

"Sh. Two tangos, both asleep."Erik said as Astrid shoots them with her MP5SD to make sure that they don't 'wake up'.

"Good night."Astrid said before switching the mag of her MP5SD and they come out to another alley.

"Charlie-Seven, you got two behind the door."Hiccup said.

"Copy."The commanding officer of Charlie-Seven said.

Two members of Charlie-Seven enter the other warehouse and shoot two of Perseus's henchmen. Astrid then stopped.

"Two targets down the alley. Ten meters."She said to her other teammates.

"Take 'em down."Erik said as Gustav fires his G36C, quickly killing them,"Alley clear."

Hiccup, Erik, Astrid and Gustav make their way towards a door which was locked as Gustav pulls out a bolt cutter and the other three stack up on the door.

"On me."Hiccup said as Astrid loads her M.1911 with another mag.

"Ready."Astrid said as Erik looks at Gustav and gave him the nod, which then Gustav cuts the locks and Hiccup enters the warehouse as he aims his rifle.

"Room clear. Up the stairs."Hiccup said and they make their way upstairs and Erik stops.

"Got movement."He said to everyone.

"I got this."Astrid said while an enemy wielding an AA-12 comes around the corner, as she kicked the man in the crotch and shot him in the head.

"Larson, take point."

Gustav moves forward though the wall as voices are heard ahead.

"Sounds like more on the corner."Hiccup said and Gustav goes around the corner of the room and shoots two of Perseus's Operatives with his G36C and reloads his rifle.

"Mornin', gents. Room clear."Erik said in amusement and they move up the stairs again as they hear a voice from another soldier.

"Bravo-Six, this is Sierra-One, two hostiles on top floor of your building. Taking the shot. Send 'em."

The two hostiles are then sniped by Sierra-One,"Outer perimeter is secure."

"Greenlight on all teams. Go! Through the glass!"Hiccup ordered his team and Erik smashed through the windows and slide down the metal sheet as a van arrives and SAS Soldiers jump out.

"Go, go, go!"An SAS Soldier shouted.

In another side, the lieutenant and the Perseus Operative suddenly heard the gunshots and were immediately alerted by their presence.

"They're here."The Perseus Operative said.

"What do we do?"The lieutenant asked.

"Get the cargo out of here!"The Perseus Operative said as he loaded his shotgun and runs out. The lieutennt immediately enters the driving seat of the truck as he was then joined by another Perseus Operative, but this one is carrying an Armsel Striker shotgun.

As Task Force 141 was fighting their way, they then hear a noise as they look beside them and sees the truck driving off.

"Shit, the truck is on the move!"Astrid shouted.

"What do we do?"An SAS Soldier asked, who was using an FN SCAR-H. Erik looked around and saw some technicals.

"Get on the technicals, now!"Erik shouted and he ran towards one. Hiccup then does the same.

"You heard the Colonel, let's go!"

They then board the technicals that were left. Gustav jumps on the back of the truck as he manned an M2 Browning.

"Hit it!"

Erik then drives the technical he was aboard in and chased the truck, followed by other SAS Soldiers who were also aboard a few other technicals.

With the Lieutenant, he was driving the vehicle slowly until he sees a technical chasing them through the wing mirror of the truck.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!"The Lieutenant shouted as the Perseus Operative fires his pistol through the window.

Gustav then returned fire with the machine gun which forced the Operative to retreat his arm back inside.

"Motherfuck!"The Operative shouted.

The Lieutenant grunted,"Do it! Open the portal!"

The Perseus Operative nods as he pulls out a device from his pockets as he presses the lone button that was in there which activated a blue portal in the middle of the road.

Erik was then surprised,"What the fuck...?"

The truck then drives inside of the portal.

"Get after them!"Hiccup shouted as Erik made the vehicle go onto full speed, in which he drove the technical straight inside of the portal, which close immediately after that.

The other technicals carrying the other SAS Soldiers stopped in the middle of the road as they looked on confused,"Where did they go?"

In the middle of the street, a blue portal opens as the truck drives out of it with the technical carrying Task Force 141 Operatives still chased it...in a busy road full of civilians.

"Holy shit!"Erik shouted as he made his best not to hit any of the civilians, who were immediately jumping out of the way with Gustav apologising.

The truck then continued to drive as the Lieutenant then tapped onto an earpiece,"Amon, we have the shipment! We're on our way to the rendezvous point!"

"Good... Do not fail me."

Erik continued to drive the vehicle he was in as he then let out a grunt of annoyance,"I'm tired of this. Gustav, gun this son of a bitch down!"

Gustav then cocks the M2 Browning as he fired it at the truck.

Gustav then continued to fire the M2 Browning, in which his shots caused the tires to be destroyed as the truck then began to move uncontrollably as it then soon crashed on the streets.

Once the truck was down, Erik immediately stopped the vehicle and he got out of the driver's seat. In the truck, the Lieutenant regains his consciousness as he attempted to crawl away... Only to be stopped with the sound of a shotgun cocking.

"Going somewhere, you slag?"Erik asked, who was aiming a SPAS-12 at his head. Hiccup, Astrid and Gustav got out of the technical as well as they cautiously approach the back of the truck.

"Gas masks on."They put on their gas masks as Hiccup opens the truck to reveal the crates...which contained what appears to be robot heads.

"Uh... What?"Astrid asked, confused as sirens were heard overhead.

"Freeze! Police, you are under arrest!"

Hiccup then sees an airship up ahead.

"Oh fuck."He cursed as what appears to be police officers began to rappel out of the airship.

"What do we do?"Erik asked, still aiming the SPAS-12 on the Lieutenant.
