Writer Arveltie: [Walks onto the stage, clearly sheepish and embarrassed] Hello fans of The Earth-7897 AU. I would like to a moment to apologize for the lack of content... Between researching, working on my Novel on Wattpad, and the Hell that is working in retail. Things have been crazy... I really should consider making some kind of calendar for my writing or something. Especially when the Dead Space Rework is about to come out soon... [Looks over some things on a notepad] Anyways... [Tosses the notepad behind me and out of view with a nervous chuckle] I hope you enjoy this chapter Stories of War Part 3. Side Note: My Novel on Wattpad is called The Flow of Arcane, a project that has been stuck in my head since I was 13. I put a lot of effort into the story and I Hope you enjoy the story!
Upon arriving at Bradley's base, it was quite evident that this also was his residence. Appearing as a small palace of medieval origins. Steve readjusted his shield's straps on his arm as he looked back to his allies and friends. Ermac took off into the air with green smoke following his movements. "Sure that the Yokai won't get caught?" The Captain asked as he looked over to Nightwolf, since he was more familiar with the supernatural than he was. The Native American simply nodded to confirm Roger's concerns as he sighed in relief. "So, King T'Chaka... Have any theories on why General Bradley would be after your Vibranium? Aside from the nearly indestructible endurance the metal has and the price tag of a single gram has on the market... Remind me what it is worth again..." Captain Rogers requested as he turned to The Wakandan Defender with a curious expression on his face.
"That would a total of ten thousand US Dollars, Captian," T'Chaka answered nonchalantly to the utter shock of everyone else that was present to hear this outrageous detail.
"Back up here... A Single Gram of your Metal is TEN THOUSAND dollars!?" Asked Major Blade with disbelief. T'Chaka simply nodded to this question as it ended up producing more questions. "And how much does Wakanda have of this, exactly?" Herman quickly followed up as T'Chaka glared at the GeneralMajor with a threatening stare.
"That is for me to know. We may be working together to take back Wakanda's stolen Vibranium, but I do not trust outsiders to disclose any further secrets regarding my country." The Black Panther declared with a stern tone to match his death glare. With that, everyone collectively agreed to drop the discussion regarding Wakanda's prized resource.
Meanwhile, Ermac made quick work of the guardsmen that patrolled the Mansion's gates and walls. Though, he couldn't shake the dreaded aura that recked from the mansion. As if they were feeling a trapped collection of Souls such as themselves deep within the building. Ermac may be a Yokai Specter, but through the torturous experiments from a HYDRA Scientist named Arnim Zola and his assistant, Doctor Werner Reinhardt. Ermac was transformed into their first Yokai Weapon that utilizes Soul Magic. It was thanks to the efforts of Captain America and Nightwolf that they were freed from HYDRA's mind-washing and control that was placed upon them. It took time for them to become a collective instead of a mass chaotic mess of souls. 'We should investigate whatever this aura is... We don't want HYDRA to obtain another being like ourselves...' Ermac declared as they phased through the floor until he reach a laboratory. Across the room were various sets of alchemic formulas, complex math equations, and oddly theories regarding Vibranium. The Specter was confused by all of the notes within the room. The theories weren't not what they would expect from common HYDRA Scientists regarding Vibranium. They were for a method of Dimensional Travel by using Vibranium to 'tune' into a Realm's unique frequency. From T'Chaka has so far disclosed about Vibranium and the properties it possesses. One was able to absorb multiple forms of kinetic energy, especially those that come from sound.
After all, Ulysses Klaue had a cybernetic arm that functioned as a sound cannon. With this, T'Chaka's Panther Armor was quickly overwhelmed by the Kinetic Energy that came from it. 'So... General Bradley has his own plans separate from HYDRA. But why would he use Vibranium as a 'Tuning Fork' for potential dimensional travel...' The Yokai Specter pondered as they soon heard the humans making their entrance into the mansion grounds. With that, They made their way to his team. Leaving the research alone since it wasn't the objective of their mission.
Thanks to both Peggy and Captain Rogers, plus the tanks they had on hand, the team was able to take control of the mansion. Though, Rogers was taken off guard by Ermac's sudden appearance as he phased through the floor to reach the team. "Jeez! Don't just appear out of nowhere man..." Captain Rogers requested as he calmed himself. Yet this didn't stop his best friend Bucky from laughing at how easily he was frightened.
"Of course, it takes a ghost to scare you. Bullets and Super Nazis, Nah. Yet Supernatural beings? Totally gonna scare your socks off." Bucky joked to Steve's dismay before Peggy pulled out her sidearm and fired at Barnes' feet making him freak out.
After the little humorous event, the team believed things would be smooth sailing from there out. Though, this was quickly shattered as their radios began to sound out with someone's voice. "I am back from my little trip. Now leave my home or you won't be leaving here alive." The cold fury from General Bradley sounded through their coms.
They all rushed to the front of the building, being guarded by a heavily armed tank, to spot the General walking towards the tank with a single sword drawn in one hand and with the other holding a radio to their surprise. "Are you seriously gonna be storming the front of the building with a tank in the way?" Peggy questioned as she spoke into the radio.
A chilling scoff sounded out from Bradley as his only response rang out. "You honestly think that I would use the back door of my own mansion, Miss Carter?" He questioned with an enraged tone in his voice.
"Infantry Men, Stay Back!" Shouted Barnes as they saw Bradley quickly charging at the tank as they fired a shell at the swordsman.
(Cue Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood OST 3, Knives & Shadows)
Yet this was in vain as Bradley was quick to dodge and slice through the shell like it was a minor nuisance. As Bradley grew closer, the tank immediately began to drive in reserve and away from the General. The men inside the tank began to fire the machine gun they had, yet Bradley quickly used his blade to slice through the rapidly speeding bullets that flew toward him, like a hot knife through butter. As they tried firing another shell, Bradley soon sliced through the tank tread wheels. This quickly resulted in the tank's primary gun crashing and breaking apart as it slammed into a steel statue and lose its speed to escape. Bradley launched himself towards an opening to impale the driver's head with his sword. With that, Bradley promptly took out the other tread wheel. One of the soldiers manning the tank popped the lid open to use his rifle to take out the General. However, after beheading the foolish soldier and dropping a grenade into the tank. The tank was destroyed as Bradley simply walked into his home, glaring coldly at the ones who broke in. "Holy... This man just took out a Bloody tank..." The frightened British woman proclaimed as the others readied themselves to take on the swordsman.
