Chapter 26: Going Ape Part 5
In Kasnia…
Colonel Rajak was walking down to the underbelly of the castle, determined to find out what his ally the Red Skull was doing besides the manufacturing of nerve gas. The dictator shook his head, grumbling something about the Western agenda, and, as he opened the doors to the basement, the Red Skull greeted him,
"Greetings, Herr Rajak. How are you today?"
Rajak looked at his ally, who was now sporting a Nazi military uniform. The Middle Eastern dictator snarled,
"I should have suspected this; that you were never to be trusted."
The Nazi tyrant chuckled,
"Why, Herr Rajak; are you here to terminate our relationship?"
The colonel pulled out a pistol and pointed it right at the Red Skull,
"Yes. I will never work for a Nazi like you. My men-."
Red Skull cut him off,
"Your men are obsolete, colonel. You see, for the past few months, I have been creating my own brand of soldiers that would utterly decimate any standing military."
He snapped his fingers, smirking underneath his mask,
"Captain, kill Rajak."
A muscular blonde man with a Nazi emblem on his chest had sped behind Rajak and, gripping the colonel's neck, snapped it. Rajak was still alive as his final look was the Red Skull directing,
"Now, prepare Axis America and the Aryan Brigade. It is time we make known to the world that the Third Reich is reborn!"
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion and the ground shook. One of the soldiers came in,
"Sir, someone is attacking the castle!"
Red Skull ordered,
"Captain Nazi, deal with the threat."
The Nazi powerhouse saluted and left.
Outside Kasnia…
War Machine was laying waste to whatever troops were coming at him as they tried to engage. He said,
"Fury, are you sure this is going to work?"
Fury, who was in the sewer system with Bast and Deadpool, said,
"It will. I wish Crisis was here to back us up, but that guy we interrogated said they're in the castle, and we'll head there. Just keep them busy."
War Machine nodded,
"All right."
He then scanned Captain Nazi coming in and shook his head,
"Looks like I'm gonna have a full plate."
Deadpool clapped his hands excitedly,
"Oh, boy! I finally get to hack something to pieces! Yay Deadpool!"
Bast shook her head,
"You disgust me worse than this sewer."
The wise-cracking mercenary chuckled,
"Lighten up, kitten. Think of all the bad guys we'll be able to fight!"
Fury pulled out his pistol and said,
"We rescue our teammates, and then, send the Red Skull packing. Move out."
Meanwhile…
Veridium said,
"Metal Men, I am Doctor Magnus, and I am ordering you to stand down now!"
Thinker ran a scan,
"You are not like any of the other androids. This metal is unknown to me."
Crisis took this opportunity and threw Lead and Iron into the other Metal Men. He retrieved his light saber and was about to attack when Veridium, using the power of his new android body, stepped in front of him,
"No! These are my creations! You can't destroy them!"
The red-eyed commando said,
"That can't be helped! Thinker has reprogrammed them to serve him!"
The green-hued android wanted to debate this further, but his scanners flared up,
"There's someone approaching."
Leon asked,
"Who is it?"
"Wonder Woman."
Crisis winced,
"Oh, this is going to be bad, I just know it."
The Amazon princess landed hard and grabbed the powerhouse by the neck,
"Give me one reason you should live."
Leon could tell Diana was not in the best of moods, but he tried to maintain his composure as best he could,
"Troia made her decision. I had nothing to do with it."
Diana yelled,
"I haven't seen my sister in months! How do I know she is not dead?"
Leon shouted back,
"Because she's been captured and the others are rescuing her right now!"
At this, the Amazon warrior said,
"What?"
Leon got loose and explained,
"Troia lead a team inside Kasnia because a man named Rajak teamed up with the Red Skull to develop nerve gas. Right now, she's been captured, and the others are going to rescue her."
Diana snarled,
"What are you doing here, then?"
Leon said,
"I was checking a lead on Daken when I got ambushed by the Metal Men."
Veridium continued,
"They are androids I developed for the military, but the Thinker took control of them. Please, they are like family to me. I want to do everything I can to make sure they do not get damaged extensively."
Thinker, who had recovered, along with the Metal Men, said,
"Metal Men, destroy them all."
The Metal Men all had their eyes glow ominously as they seemingly collided into each other, and started to grow. Segments began to form; large arms and legs, and finally a head. On the head was a single, eye-like lens on the robot and the giant towered over the three heroes. Crisis asked,
"Uh, Doc; could they do that before?"
Veridium shook his head,
"No, this is the first time I have ever seen anything like this."
The giant metallic being said,
"We are Alloy."
Meanwhile, in Bludhaven…
Superman was continuing with the evacuations when, suddenly, the ground shook. The green gas receded to street level and into the cracks. Then, the ground started to rumble and quake, and soon, the Last Son of Krypton was now staring at a giant green glob that partially resembled a human being.
Chemo started down at Superman and attempted to squash him…
