Season 3 au where the Hood captures Gordon instead of Brayman.
This randomly popped into my head last night as I was going to sleep, even though it's been a while since I watched TAG
The Hood smirked evilly as he watched the hot rocks of the undersea volcano crush Thunderbird 4 and that cursed Tracy. Seeing him lie lifelessly on the floor after he slowly and painfully tap buttons to send out an emergency signal to his brothers when an idea struck him.
"Fuse, forget the robot, we have something much more valuable," the Hood said, not turning around to see Fuse's reaction, but he did see Havoc's devious smirk. The Hood watched as Fuse slowly made his way to the crushed bird and used his laser to cut through the cracked, but not broken glass and grab the unconscious Tracy. Making his way back to the ship, he carefully placed the man on a cot and strapped him in
"what are we going to do, with him boss?" Havoc asked, voice laced with excitement and eyes dancing with cruelty
"you'll find out soon enough Havoc, get us out of here first, the GDF are most likely waiting for us at the top"
"But, they won't want to risk their pilot, right?" Fuse asked with a strange tone. was it concern?
"true, but that won't stop Kayo" the Hood said
"well, she's not going to have much of a choice. Bird brain over there already has a number of injuries, it'll be a shame if she caused him even more pain" Havoc said, looking over at a monitor
"oh really?" the Hood asked, intrigued and Havoc hummed
"broken arm, fractured leg, not to mention one hell of a concussion"
"well, then. Let's use that to our advantage" the Hood smiled as Havoc began to pilot the Chaos Cruiser out of the volcanos and back to the surface where 3 GDF ships, as well as Thunderbird Shadow, were waiting for them
"surrender Hood. We have you surrounded" Kayo's booming voice said from her ship
"oh I wouldn't be so sure about that my dear, as you can see we have one of your pilots" suddenly the GDF's ships screens glitched slightly before they showed Gordon lying on a cot, unconscious. "It'll be a shame if he were to receive more injuries during our plight"
"Rigby? What's going on? What's he going on about?" Kayo's voice was laced with both anger and fear
"we-we we have to stand down" Rigby's voice said, laced with regret. As much as he wanted the Hood and the Chaos Crew captured, it wasn't worth getting an International Rescue pilot and the colonel's adoptive nephew even more injured or killed.
"are-are you sure, sir?" a GDF officer asked uncertainly
"yes," Rigby said without hesitation, the GDF ships immediately reversed slowly, giving space for the chaos cruiser to escape
"pleasure doing business with you all" the hood called and the Chaos Cruiser disappeared, moments later, Thunderbird 2 arrived at the scene along with FAB 1.
"Kayo, what's going on? Where's the Hood?" Scott asked, his hologram appearing in her cockpit
"gone," she said, with a quiver in her voice, it was hard for her to be strong now that one of her brothers was in the hands of their most dangerous enemy "he's gone. and he has Gordon with him"
Basically, the rest of the story is sort of like the winter soldier, the Hood replaces all of Gordon's broken limbs with cybernetic parts and brainwashes him so he (the hood) and he alone can control Gordon.
Captain Rigby is a GDF officer tasked with capturing the world's most dangerous criminals, but like all GDF officers, saving people always comes first.
