*WARNING: MAJOR Bloodshed in this chapter. You have been warned*
~TC Headquarters~
Shadow was pacing back and forth in his office waiting for Zero to give him the details of their next mission.
"Shadow, here is the mission dossier from our mission planner" Flame said as he handed the folder to Shadow.
"Thanks ya useless log. Go make yourself useful and go tell Hades to get his explosives ready and get our weapons ready after that"
"Yes sir" Flame sighed as he did what Shadow asked. Flame was used to the abuse given to him but was thinking about ways to get out of the TCs. He was kidnapped when he was sleeping and was separated from Vulcan since he was 9.
He knocks on Hades door nervously. He could never expect anything from the scotsman. "Hades, Sha-" Flame didn't even finish when he heard the outburst.
THere was a small explosion, followed by a very drunk voice exclaiming "That wasn't supposed ta' happen!"
Flame rolled his eyes "Just get your damn explosives ready for the mission." Flame said through the door. "Drunk Scotsman" he said under his breath.
Hades opened the door lightning quick, his fur black from the explosion. "Mission?"
"Yes Mr. Tyson got our next mission ready. We're going to Times Square in New York."
Silence.
"Hades?" Flame asked turning his head in concern as the demo expert normally wasn't this quiet.
What happened next went by very quick.
"Time to get bluttered!" The wolf jeered very loudly, and he swung around to head back into his room. Of course, he forgot he had a bottle of scrumpy in his hand, which hit Flame's head quite hard. The door slammed as the demoman proceeded to make a racket, assumingly getting dangerous bombs and explosives ready.
"GAH! Damn it Hades!" Flame said as he clutched his head which was bleeding from the bottle hitting it. "Where is that damn Medic when you need him?" Flame vented as he ran to the infirmary to get patched up.
The Terror Canine certainly had a lot of… interesting, people. A drunkard for the demolitions expert, and a… bloodthirsty cyborg for the combat Medic.
"Just patch me up so i can do my job…" Flame said.
"Dummkopfs! You are trying my Patience!" The Medic, known as Zhadex, grumbled as he went about his task. "How did Zis happen anyway?"
"That damn drunk Hades. Hit me in the head with his bottle" Flame grumbled.
"Gah," The german cyborg grumbled. "Ze healing leaves little time for ze hurting." He said as he bandaged up Flame's head
"You always say that" Flame said "thanks anyways Zhadex."
"Ja, Ze healing is not as rewarding as ze hurting." Zhadex said as he got back to his work. "Archimedes! Where are you?"
The dove cooed from his perch.
"Am i discharged Zhadex?" Flame asked.
"Da," Zhadex said.
'DO you ever worry that you might be going mad?'
"Well, not worry. I mean, I'm not up at night about it." Zhadex said. Of course it was to himself, making himself look insane in front of Flame
'Okay this guy is insane' Flame thought as he walked out
Hades was singing away in his workshop. Drunk off his ass, as usual.
Flame rolled his eyes. How the hell did he get on this team again? He makes his way to the armory.
Much later, Hades is ready with his Grenade launcher and his explosives.
"LETS GO LADIES! We're on a tight schedule!" The voice of Shadow said. Tonight was New Year's Eve. "we need to terrorize Times Square before the ball drops in an hour. Flame where are our damn weapons?! I thought I told you to have them ready!" Shadow said as he slapped Flame across the face.
Flame yelped in pain "Sorry sir. I'll go get them." He said as he dashed off to get to the weapons.
Hades was there as well, all the explosives ready, as well as Zhadex, who was ready to assist the team should things get bloody for the TC.
"Guys, we need to ease up on Flame. The kid's only 20 for god's sakes" Zero, their mission planner said.
"Whatever. Ajax is getting tired of Flame's mess ups. He's a liability to us." Shadow said.
Flame came back with their rifles and pistols. "Here are your weapons" He said as he handed them out.
"Alright, everyone into the trucks! MOVE IT!" Shadow ordered.
Hades stumbled into one of them, drunk as usual. Zhadex mumbling about a useless team, gets in next to the demoman.
Flame and Shadow got into the truck with the medic and the demoman and gave the order to start driving towards Times Square.
~Times Square, New York City. 11:30 pm EST, December 31st, 2016~
"Hades, get into position near the ball. Wait till 11:50 before detonating the explosives." shadow ordered. "Flame and soldiers create a perimeter, Make sure the citizens can't leave the area."
Flame only nodded.
"Aye!" Hades said as he headed off with dangerous bombs in tow.
Shadow was going for a massive impact here. Since it was New Year's Eve, it was jammed packed, which was perfect for causing a lot of damage to the population.
"Heh heh!" Hades chuckled setting the bombs in place, just at the base of the ball tower.
"In position Shadow sir!" A Soldier said.
Shadow checks his watch. It took them 16 minutes to get everything ready. "4 minutes Hades!" Shadow said through his headset.
Flame was nervous. He was the abused member. His deepest wish was to be reunited with his dear brother. But he needed to think of a way to get out without raising suspicion of him defecting..
"Ayeeeeee it's yeeadddy!" Hades mumbled through his headset
Shadow checks his watch one last time. It said 11:49 pm about to hit 11:50 pm "3. 2. 1. HIT IT!" Shadow made the signal to Hades to blow the bombs.
"KA-BEEEWM!" Hades said hitting the detonator
The explosion cause the tower to fall onto the ground shattering the crystal ball into a million shards. The shards were raining down onto the scattering crowd that tried to escape but couldn't due to the TCs perimeter.
"Oooooh they're going to had to glue you back together, IN HELL!" Hades jeered as the tower collapsed
"Let's put these civies out of their misery." Shadow said.
Hades gets out his grenade launcher. "You're all bloody dead!" He said as he fires his custom made weapon, shooting out incinarary pipe bombs
By midnight, those that were trapped in Times Square were dead.
"Hahaha! Happy new years fuckers!" Hades roared, blood stained his face and uniform.
"Eins, zwei, drei... Ugh, I do not think ve brought enough body bags." Zhadex said pulling his Bonesaw out of a police officer's head.
"Eh let's scram before we're noticed." Shadow said
"Let's beat it!" Hades said and made a run for the trucks
Flame, Shadow, and the soldiers got into the trucks.
But the New Year's Massacre was not the only famous attack done by the Terror Canines. There was a few others. Back in October of 2014, they even hit the capital of Japan, Tokyo. They were negotiating with the Japanese Premier to allow them a base of operations in the heart of Tokyo. Their ulterior motive of course was to launch terrorist attacks from the Japanese base all across Asia and Australia.
~October 10th, 2014. Tokyo, Japan. Imperial Palace~
"So what do my people get in exchange for providing a base for you TCs?"
"Protection" Shadow lied through his teeth.
"Ah yes I'm afraid you are lying, Mr. Moore and therefore, you have been dishonorable. I will have no further negotiations with you."
"Then watch your people suffer, Premier Cheng." Shadow got up. " ?"
"Commence ze bloodshed?" A voice crackled through the radio, followed by drunk singing. "Shut up herr Hades! Wait for my signal!"
"Yes. Commence Operation: Bloodbath." Shadow said through his headset. He grabbed the Premier and tied him up and turned on the TV so he can watch his people die.
Several TV's were live footage of several locations of Tokyo, and almost instantly, violence and bloodshed broke out.
One area had civilians mowed down my mini-guns and bullets. Another had more burned alive with flamethrower-wielding TC soldiers.
Hades, the head Demoman, was of course, blowing up building left and right in the heart of downtown Tokyo. The police force were instantly wiped out as Zhadex, the medic, had his special device, a gun that healed targets with a surgical implant RIGHT next to their heart.
"Oooooooh they're gonna find ya all dead in the alley, with cats lickin' at ya!" Hades cackled, explosions rocking the ground, building collapsing, and people dropping dead left and right.
"Had Enough Premier? Or shall we continue burning your city to the ground?" Shadow jeered.
"Please my people have suffered enough. Kill me please. Let me join them" Cheng begged.
"Zhadex, finish killing the citizens of Tokyo. I have one more loose end to tie up" Shadow aimed his pistol at Cheng's head.
"Herr Hades!"
"Aye wot is it doc?"
"PREPARE ZE NUKE!"
Hades laughed insanely. "Now ye talkin'! Who ready for Hiroshima part 2?!"
Zhadex had all the soldiers evacuate as the train carrying the Nuke was charging towards the main station at the heart of the city.
"Zhadex where is the chopper?!" Shadow asked as he executed Cheng.
"Should be there any…"
The sound of a helicopter can be heard.
"Herr Shadow, we will have communications cut off to avoid the UN tracing our tracks. Good luck!"
Shadow cut his communication and jumped on the helicopter "Let's go pilot!"
The helicopter flew Shadow out of Tokyo just as the Nuke was about to hit.
Zhadex and Hades were on the TC's Private destroyer out at sea. "Can I detonate Godzilla yet?! CAN I?!"
"Shush herr Hades! On my mark… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… NOW!"
The explosion rocked the entire earth and devastated everything within a 2,500 mile radius. Everything with 500 miles of the explosion instant evaporated from the heat of the explosion.
Shadow's heli arrived at the destroyer shortly after the detonation.
"Hope these pathetic fools like watching the Earth burn with radiation in the air." Shadow said.
Of course the Nuke being dropped on Tokyo caused radiation to be present in the air around the earth. Still to this day, Tokyo remains their most famous attack. They seemed unstoppable with no counter force to combat them. The Sydney Massacre was another major strike of terrorism.
~Syndney, Australia. April 16th, 2015~
"Three minutes and closing" a Bomber Pilot said to Shadow
"So uh...what exactly are we doing?" Hades asked
"Doing what we do best. Terrorist attack on Sydney. Create as much debris and death as possible. Ajax's orders" Shadow said.
"Hell yea! Total destruction!"
"That's right. Operation: Total Destruction may commence." Shadow said as he landed in his helicopter, raising his Ak-47 that was smuggled by Flame. "Zhadex! Are you ready for ze hurting?"
"Can you feel ze Schadenfreude?" Zhadex said getting his weapons ready as he and Hades drop out of the Helicopter
"Yep let's get the bloodbath on mates" Xeno said. "Never thought I would be attacking ma hometown." He walks with the TC soldiers, Hades, and Zhadex.
A few hours later the city of Sydney is smoldering ruins, corpses and smoke and rubble are all that's left.
"Excellent job boys. Let's head back to base." Shadow said.
"Thank god, I'm out of Scrumpy!" Hades mumbled
Shadow chuckled. 'That Hades and his scrumpy.' He thought to himself.
"Let's go!" Zhadex urged on the Heli
~TC Headquarters, March 5th, 2017 2 am EST~
Flame has always been the underappreciated member of the TCs and he had quite enough of the abuse, both physical and verbal abuse. He has been separated from Vulcan since he was 9. Currently everyone was asleep. Except for the guards
"Everything is quiet around here" The first guard said.
The second smacked the first earning a yelp in response. "Of course it's quiet you idiot. It's two fucking am in the morning."
Flame pulled out a knife and crept behind the second guard and dragged him off and silently slit his throat. Flame wiped the blade of his switchblade knife on the now dead guard's body and flicked out the blade again as he went to the other guard. "The fuck you doing Flame? We're on the same side here"
"Not anymore" Flame said as he disarms the guard with a kick to his rifle which made it fly out of his hands. "I've put up with this abuse for too long. I'm done. Say hello to your friend in hell" Flame stabs the guard hard in the heart and twists the blade in his heart and then pulls it out to see the guard laying in a pool of blood. He wipes off his blade and puts it away. He hastily gets into a car that wasn't used for smuggling and tore out the tracker and threw it out the window. He drove off into the night, far away from the TC headquarters.
A.N: HOLY SHIT! That was a brutal chapter to write hehe. Get it? Cuz the TCs are brutal. Anyways hoped you pups enjoyed this crazy chapter. Zhadex is not owned by me. SilverWolf owns him.
