Author's Note: This is a very short chapter, consisting of 863 words. But that's okay since the main focus on this chapter is HYDRA, the main villains of this story. On the other hand, I'm planning to add elements from the Innocent Soul manga for my other future projects. And there is also another OC character included in this story. So without further ado, here is chapter 3. And thanks to those who read and review!

Black Rock Shooter belongs to Huke

HYDRA is the property of Marvel Entertainment and it was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Somewhere in the woods near Nagano

A truck is moving around in the deep forest near Nagano. The truck seems futuristic in design and it has a green color and scheme. Also noticeable about the truck that it has a logo with skull with a number of tentacles. The truck reached in the vicinity of a mountain. When the truck is near on the bedrock, it opened and it reveals a tunnel. The truck keeps on moving as it goes to the tunnel. In a few minutes, they enter into a facility inside the mountain itself.

It was none other than HYDRA's Japanese base. The whole place is also full of soldiers in green clothing marching around. Most of the weaponry and equipment are equally advanced that even it can also match S.H.I.E.L.D.'s arsenal and technology. Not just weaponry but also vehicles like tanks, cycles, cars, walking mechanical units, and even aircraft. Good thing that there are superheroes like Captain America and his fellow Avengers to stop their plans. But HYDRA has a strict code of loyalty to its goals and principles. Because of this, they were also known for their resilience. 'Cut off one head, two more will take its place!' is their motto and their target is everywhere: every part of the globe. Through this, the organization is also known as dangerous and to be feared. At first, it was a Nazi science division during World War II, headed by the Red Skull. HYDRA went rogue and plans to take over the world yet it was foiled by Captain America and the members of the SSR. But HYDRA resurfaced again under the leadership of Baron von Strucker. Even the Red Skull returned as the Supreme Head, von Strucker is still a formidable figure

At the upper part of the cave lies a room. That is also HYDRA's Command Control Room with lots of monitors around and a communications crew. On the platform, there was a woman standing. She has long violet hear and orange eyes and wears a green outfit and she seems in her late teens under the age of 18. Seemingly, she had a conversation to a mysterious man on the big screen.

"How is it going well, Chief Yuuka?" the mysterious man began the conversation.

"The preparations are complete, Mein Herr. We are entering the Phase Two of our operation." Yuuka answered.

The mysterious man still has his serious look but then he grinned a bit. "Impressive. I never made a mistake on choosing you, Yuuka Shinzo. You're not only an expert assassin at your age but you're also very intelligent. And I also appreciate your efforts."

Yuuka was amused on the mysterious man's remark. "Thank you for your kind consideration. I also remember that HYDRA expanded in Japan during the days of World War II. You disappeared after you're holding the Tesseract in your encounter against Captain America back then. Then you've returned to take leadership of the organization once again after 70 years. Most interestingly, Baron Zemo and Baron Strucker also got your support since you've returned. It seems that Captain America is still a thorn on your side, Herr Schmidt."

The mysterious man, known as Schmidt, responded to Yuuka's informative remark with a smirk. "Zemo has nothing to do with my organization but on the contrary, he is also a close friend of mine and an ally. Strucker have strengthened HYDRA during my absence and I commend him on that. Let me tell you a short story: it all began during the days of the war. I was part of Hitler's inner circle and he gave me much support and I've founded this organization as a Nazi science division with me as its head. But we never lived in Hitler's shadow because I harness the power of the gods. Fantasy for me is real, and it does."

Yuuka gave Schmidt a devious smile. "But you also have superhuman strength due to the serum that Dr. Abraham Erskine gave you, making you much of a superior man, but something bad happened, right?"

The mysterious man stood in silence and never answered.

But Yuuka snapped and she continued. "Going back to the topic, the Final Phase will begin after 10 days, a little long enough yet sufficient. Our agents are roaming around across Tokyo and other cities in order to search valuable people to join our army."

"You're still on recruitment and the same time doing experiments and research. But the important thing is… you have to get it done. I will keep on monitoring on your progress." Schmidt assured.

"Thank you so much… Herr Skull." She bowed.

He smirked and said, "Very well, my dear." And the communication signal turned off.

Another call also came and it was opened by the operator. Yuuka answered the call. "What's your status?"

"It seems we've spotted her. A schoolgirl, she is 13 years of age, black short hair with blue eyes. Seemingly energetic."

"Can you send me the image?"

"Will do."

Then the image sent by the HYDRA agent appeared on the screen. After Yuuka sees this, she gave a malicious grin.

"Kuroi Mato…"

Very short, yet it helps a lot. Because even HYDRA are the main villains, Yuuka Shinzo is up to something so I want to develop her. But the question is... what does she want to Mato?

Chapter 4 is up next!

Read and review and see you later, peeps!
