Ch 6
Crossbones attacked Cap with his power gauntlets but Cap used his shield to block the attacks before sucker-punching Crossbones in the face. Crossbones got back up and extended blades from his gauntlets.
"Come on you bastard!" Crossbones challenged.
Crossbones tried to slash Cap with his blades but Cap blocked the strikes with his shield and knocked Crossbones off his feet with a sweeping kick. Then Crossbones used holograms to try and confuse Cap.
"Holograms? Okay." Cap said.
He threw EMP grenades and they disabled the holograms before Cap frisbeed his shield at Crossbones, knocking him into a wall. But Crossbones had another trick up his sleeve. Smoke grenades. Cap looked everywhere but couldn't see through the fog. Then Crossbones lunged from behind but Cap ducked just in time before he hit Crossbones with a right hook. Crossbones tried attacking from different directions but Cap was always able to block the strikes with his shield or hit Crossbones back.
"You're quick, good for you." Crossbones said.
Then Crossbones transformed his gauntlets into energy cannons and fired at Cap. Cap blocked the energy blasts with his shield before he sent Crossbones flying with a drop-kick. Cap then finished the job by knocking out Crossbones with an uppercut that sent his skull mask flying off his head.
"Crossbones is down." Cap radioed Falcon.
"Good, we gotta go to the rocket. We don't have much time." Falcon replied.
"On it." Cap said.
He ran outside the building toward the rocket, shield-bashing any HYDRA troopers in his way. Falcon and the 12 SHIELD paratroopers followed Cap, providing him with cover fire. Just as they were almost near the rocket, they were blocked by Gideon who was on a hover chair. He also had 40 Vibranium Troopers.
"You're too late, Captain." Gideon said.
"The rocket will launch and Hive will grace us with his presence. You've had your hands full with two Vibranium Troopers. Let's see how you do against a platoon."
Falcon looked at the Vibranium Troopers and then back at Cap worriedly as the SHIELD paratroopers cocked their guns. Cap just set his face in a grim expression. If they were gonna die then so be it. But they had to take a stand.
Well, Crossbones is down but Gideon has them trapped. The next chapter will be tomorrow. Hope you liked it and see you next time!
