The Perfect One: The definition of insanity

Rook Islands, Southeast Asia: June 2011

Will had three friends who were safe: Grant, Daisy, and Angel but there were still 7 missing. Angel and Daisy would safe with the Doctor for now but Will needed to find the others and on an island this massive, they could be anywhere. Will left Daisy to rest as Doctor Earnhardt gave her the medicine for the poison. He walked downstairs and grabbed the sat phone to call Denis, hoping he had another lead.

"William, did you find your friend?" Dennis asked.

"Yeah, they're fine. Thank you, Dennis." Will replied.

"You made this happen, not me. It is your victory." Dennis told him.

"Did you manage to find any kind of lead on my other friends? Is there a way I can search for them? Anything to help me find them?" Will asked.

"You know, William, the pirates use a satellite dish for communication on the Medusa. You could enter the comm room and listen in on the signal." Dennis told him.

"What's the Medusa?" Will asked.

"An old ship that was beached nearby. It's on the south west part of the island, look at your map it should be marked. It will be heavily guarded and the pirates will signal for help if they see you. Follow the path of the warrior, William. Train your body and your mind will follow. The tatau will bring you closer." Dennis told him as he ended the call.

"I wonder if he smokes what he sells." Will said to himself as he pocketed the sat phone. Will saw the Doctor had a Weapon's locker in the corner so he walked over to see if he had anything he could use for a stealth operation. He opened it and saw several Colt 1911 pistols, suppressor attachments, red dot and recon sights for rifles, a Mossberg shotgun, two AK-47s, an AR-15, a recurve hunting bow with a quiver of arrows, empty magazine clips and boxes of ammunition.

Will grabbed the suppressor and attached it to his 6P9 pistol. He grabbed some extra pistol clips and decided to switch out the AK-47 for the AR-15 and put a red dot sight and a suppressor on it. He replaced his AK-47 ammo with AR-15 ammo but before he closed the weapon's locker, he took the bow and quiver.

"Let's give it a shot." Will said as he strapped the quiver to his back and left Doctor Earnhardt's house. The sun was just coming up as Will got on an ATV and drove to the Medusa's coordinates. He drove to the coordinates and when he was about 200 meters away, he parked his ATV on the side of the road by a tree and slowly made his way along the road by the water until he saw the large and rusted ship in the distance.

He stuck to the brush to stay out of sight and moved as slow as possible to avoid being spotted. He sat behind a large boulder, took the bow and quiver and placed it on the ground, took out the camera and began scoping out the area. He saw about 6 pirates around the ship. Two had blowtorches and tools and seemed to be trying to remove spare parts of the ship. The other pirates were on patrol or were relaxing. He noticed two were wearing different clothes and seemed to boss the other two around. Those two must have what he needs to access the satellite room.

"All right. Not that hard." Will said as he put the camera away. He held the bow and put the quiver on his back. He slowly made his way closer as he saw one of the pirates making his way over to a tree to take a piss. Will put an arrow on the draw string and pulled back. He let loose and the arrow hit the pirate in the head, killing him instantly and quietly as his body fell into the brush.

Will kept moving as he killed the pirate by the water with an arrow to the neck. Will then aimed an arrow at the furthest pirate who was inside the old wreckage of the ship. Will fired his shot in the air and used his telekinesis to guide the arrow a little further and it hit the pirate in the heart. Will then fire the last three arrows in rapid succession and killed all the pirates. Will looked at the bow and at his handiwork.

"I now get why Barton likes this thing." Will said as he walked over to the lieutenants and took out the frequency key numbers to the satellite room. He walked up to the ship and over to the communication board and put in the code, opening up the channel.

"Vaas is recording ransom videos at P.C. He's ransoming them? I was told to line up buyers. Do it. After the money from the parents shows up, the kids go onto the black market and we deliver them to the buyers. Double the money, daddy likes." Will heard the pirates say to one another.

"You're gonna not going to be enjoying money in hell." Will said as he took out the camera and the laptop from his backpack. He found an Ethernet cable and plugged it into the laptop as he began using the satellite link to open a secure network communication channel to contact the outside. He was high jacking the pirates signal and was going to get a secure line to contact SHIELD but couldn't get through the firewall on an unfamiliar line so he decided to try and contact Tony.

"Hey! Can the chatter! Someone triggered an alarm at the Medusa, you morons! We're closest. I can see it right now." The chatter over the radio said as an alarm went off.

"Crap." Will said as the line to STARK industries was still trying to connect. "Come on, come on."

"This is Mr. Stark's secured line. Please hang up or I will contact the authorities." Will heard Jarvis say as he quickly picked up the radio.

"Jarvis don't hang up! It's me, Will Detmer." Will shouted.

"Good evening, Mr. Detmer. How are you enjoying your vacation?" Jarvis asked.

"It sucks. Where's Tony?" Will asked.

"I'm afraid Mr. Stark and Ms. Potts are on a vacation of their own and gave me implicit instructions not to interrupt them." Jarvis told him.

"Jarvis, my friends and I were taken captive by pirates on this Island about 80 miles off the coast of Thailand. They're human traffickers, killers and the whole island is a giant drug operation. I managed to get free and save some of my friends but the others are still missing. The whole island has signal scramblers and I just managed to get to a sat line to call you." Will said.

"Oh dear. If I may say, Mr. Detmer, it would appear you have rotten luck." Jarvis said as Will quickly ducked to avoid the hail of bullets blasting through the windows.

"Shit!" Will shouted as he took cover.

"Is everything all right, Mr. Detmer?" Jarvis asked.

"I'm being shot at, what do you think?! They're swarming my location. Jarvis, I'm sending you the location on the island as well as everything I managed to get about this place and its leader. You need to get this to SHIELD immediately." Will said as he attached the pictures and the location of the island into a file and sent it straight to Jarvis.

"Data packet received, sir. I'll contact them immediately. How will they contact you?" Jarvis asked as Will quickly put the laptop and camera in his backup.

"I'll try to work out a signal to contact you again. Once that happens, just patch me through to SHIELD!" Will shouted as he shut the radio off. The door to the satellite room opened as Will pulled out his pistol and shot the three pirates who entered. Will vaulted over the terminal and shot his last bullet at a fourth pirate. Will grabbed a grenade off the belt of a pirate and stepped out to see there were four pickup trucks in the sand and two had heavy machine guns on them.

"Fire!" A pirate shouted as Will ducked back into the room. He ran over to grab his bag when looked at the radio and got an idea. He ripped out the satellite uplink from the console. He checked it over and it was intact, knowing it would come in handy later. He put it in his pack as he concentrated and summoned a force field around his body.

Will then ran forward and jumped through the window of the control room and over the railing. The pirates shot at him but their bullets bounced off the force field. As Will fell through the air, he pulled the pin and threw the grenade at one of the trucks. It landed near the tire and went off, destroying the truck and causing truck right next to it to explode. Will landed on the ground as the pirates kept firing but Will raised his hands and stopped the bullets in mid-air. He closed his fist and the bullets flew back at the pirates, killing them all.

Will's satellite phone went off and he saw it was Dennis calling him. "Hey, Dennis. Your tip paid off. Now the pirates sent a message—"

"William, Vaas wants us dead. There's no time to talk. Come to Amanaki village. We need your help." Dennis told him as he hung up

"It's always something." Will said as he got on his ATV and drove back to the village. He walked into the village to see all the women and children hiding in homes while Dennis and the Rakyat warriors were arming themselves.

"Dennis, what's going on?" Will asked.

"Vaas prepares to attack our village. He is gathering weapons even as we speak now." Dennis told him.

"All right, I'll help but I need your help afterward. Vaas is ransoming my friends at someplace called PC but plans to sell them anyway." Will said as Dennis nodded.

"Then we still have some time." Dennis told him as a Rakyat warrior walked over to him.

"William, you must help us. The Rakyat will be murdered. If you can sabotage the weapons, it'll weaken Vaas and make him much easier to kill." He said as Will nodded.

"Ok, where are the weapons?" Will asked.

"The pirates stock weapons in the logging camp in the jungle. It is also where they keep a lot of their treasure so it will be heavily guarded. Shut off the alarm first, ok? If it is triggered, they will secure the weapons shed and call in reinforcements. Steal the explosives and then destroy the weapons." Dennis said as Will nodded.

Will got on the ATV and drove to the coordinates of the logging camp. He parked his ATV down the road and took a route through the jungle to avoid being seen. He crouched low and slowly made his way over to the camp and saw a tower up ahead with a sniper. He snuck up next to a tree and took out the camera to scope out any more guards. He saw another pirate by a small outhouse on the hill followed by two guards who were walking the perimeter. He then saw two more pirates by the east gate, one on the west hill, 5 walking throughout the camp, one guard each for two alarms, and lastly there were 3 guards by the river for a total of 17 guards all armed with assault rifles or shotguns and the two guards by the alarms would hit them the second they saw something off. This would take patience and skill.

Will slowly crouched forward, staying as quiet as possible as he closed in on the sniper tower. He waited as the sniper moved away from the ladder when he made his move. He slowly climbed the ladder, got behind the pirate, and stabbed him in the neck with the machete and pulled him out of sight. He laid the body down on the floor and out of sight as he then used the zip line to move to the outhouse. He landed on the ground and killed the pirate with another silent takedown. He saw the pirate on the west hill, overlooking the camp and got an idea. He took a knife from the dead pirate's belt and levitated it in the air. He looked at the pirate and flexed his hand as the knife flew through the air like a bullet and hit the pirate in the heart, killing him instantly and quietly.

Will decided to take out the two pirates walking the perimeter of the camp. He waited until they crossed paths and kept walking. Will got behind one pirate and killed him with a machete to the neck, then pulled the knife from the pirate's belt and threw it at the other pirate and killed him with a knife to the back of the head. He pulled out his silenced pistol killed the two pirates by the east gate with two silenced head shots. He then slowly walked through the camp, sticking to the corners or shadows as the five guards walk the interior of the camp. He noticed the timing and spacing of their movements along with the two guards by the alarms, they'd spot him once he'd begin his attack. Will decided to use his powers, so he took out a spare magazine from his belt, took out 7 bullets and put them in his hand.

Will looked at the pirates walking around and concentrated as the bullets floated in his hand. They then shot through the air in different directions and each found its way into a pirate's skull, killing them with a head shot. Will holstered his pistol and readied his AR-15 as he moved to take out the last three guards by the river. He slowly moved forward and aimed his rifle at them. When he got close enough, one of the pirates saw him but before he could ready his weapon or warn his friends, Will shot him in the chest three times and then killed the other two with chest and head shots and they fell to the ground dead or their bodies fell into the water.

Will put the rifle over his shoulder and disarmed the two alarms. Will pulled out the satellite phone and walked over to one of the big houses where the weapons would be. "Dennis, the pirates are dead, and the alarm is deactivated." Will said.

"Excellent. Now tell me about your friends?" Dennis asked.

"The radio said Vaas was recording ransom videos at P.C." Will told him.

"P.C? P.C….Pirates cove. But we call it Sunset Cove. That's one of their prisons." Dennis told him.

"Got it." Will said.

"Meet me at Amanaki Village and I'll show you on the map. Remember, William, the strength you receive from the Path will help you succeed." Dennis told him as he hung up.

"Geez that guy is weird." Will said as he opened the door and instead of finding a huge room of weapons, he found a room full of gold, money, gems, and other expensive or treasured items. He just found one of their stash houses. "Holy shit."

He walked over to one of the containers and opened it to see it was full of money. "Jesus, where did they get all this stuff?" Will asked himself.

He kept moving and saw that there were likely millions if not billions of dollars' worth of treasure the pirates had pillaged and taken. He walked over and saw a high-grade military container. He opened it and saw several high-tech glass containers that were holding large shards of some kind of weird metal ore. There were a total of 10 glass containers holding the ore while there were 3 extra that weren't in containers. "Hello, what's this?" Will ask as he picked up the metal and despite its size, was very light. "What on earth are you?"

It was a bluish/black glowing metal but not the same kind that gave him his powers, this was something else. Will felt that it was important and since he didn't know what it was, he decided to take it and figure out later. He put the metal back in the container and wheeled it out of the safe house and into a nearby pick-up truck. He levitated the container into the trunk and strapped it in place when he looked back.

"It'd be a shame to let it go to waste." Will said to himself with a smile as he walked back into the shed. He spent a good 15 minutes in there and walked out with six large duffel bags of cash on his back, and 11 chests of gold and gems levitating behind him. He put them in the truck and then walked over to the other large shed. He walked in and saw it was the weapons cabin.

"Ok, here we go." Will said as he walked over and saw some C4, a detonator, and blasting wire. He quickly set up some C-4 around the cabin, wrapped some blasting wire around key areas and set up the detonator to the C-4 charge. He walked out of the weapons cabin and went to the jeep. He started the car and pressed the detonator charge as the weapons cabin exploded in a blaze of fire, smoke, and metal, robbing the pirates of a lot of ordinance.

He drove away and back to Amanaki Village as the fire and smoke from the Pirate compound filled the sky. Will parked outside the village and walked in to see Dennis talking to some Rakyat warriors.

"William, well done. The tribe is very impressed with your deeds. Now, show me your map." Dennis said as Will took it out. "Sunset Cove is here, approximately 8 Kilometers to the south west. If Vaas is ransoming your friends at P.C. this is where he is doing it. Be careful though, the pirates will have the entire area heavily defended."

"Thanks, Dennis." Will said as he saw Grant walk out of a hut with crutches and his leg in a brace. "Grant!"

"Will!" Grant shouted as Will ran over and hugged him. "Man, it's good to see you. They told me you were alive but you were gone."

"Yeah, I'm back now. How's the leg?" Will asked.

"Fine. They managed to set it back but I'll have to stay off it for a while. It's a good thing I only managed to escape with a broken leg." Grant said as he noticed all of Will's weapons. "Jesus, did you rob an armory?"

"No, some necessary equipment when fighting against drug dealing, kidnapping pirates. And I know how to handle myself. You went into the army; I went into the Intelligence sector." Will told him.

"Spy? You're a spy?" Grant asked.

"Sort of a spy in training. It's a long story." Will said as his phone went off and the Caller ID recognized it as Doctor Earnhardt. "Dr. Earnhardt?"

"Will, it's me." Daisy said.

"Daisy are you, all right? How's Angel?" Will asked.

"Daisy's there?" Grant said as Will nodded.

"I'm fine, we're fine. Don't worry. The Doctor's medicine fixed me up right as rain. I borrowed the Doctor's phone. How's the search going?" Daisy asked.

"I'm getting closer. I think I have a way to find the rest of our friends." Will told him.

"Good. The doctor moved me and Angel to this cave under his house. It's safer, since the pirates come to buy from him all the time. But get this, I found something down here. You have to see it." Daisy told him as Will looked at Grant.

"I'll be right there. With Grant. He's fine. Here." Will said as he handed Grant the phone.

"Baby." Grant said as he heard Daisy's voice and he was beyond relieved, crying tears of joy. "Yeah, I'm ok. Leg's just a little banged up. Yeah, Will saved me too."

Will smiled as he was happy that Grant and Daisy both made it alive. God knows the torment Daisy would have gone through had Will's powers not detected that bullet. "I'm glad your safe too. We'll be right there. I love you, baby." Grant said as he handed the phone to Will.

"Don't worry, Daisy. We're coming back." Will told her as he hung up. "Come on."

Will helped Grant through the village and they made it to his jeep. He helped him into the passenger seat as Grant noticed all the bags and chests. "What? More weapons?" Grant asked as Will got in the driver's seat.

"No, just some spoils of war." Will said as he opened up a duffel bag to show it was full of money as Grant's eyes widened. "It's be a shame to let it go to waste."

"Always thinking ahead aren't you, Will?" Grant asked.

"Best way to stay alive." Will said as he started the car and drove to Doctor Earnhardt's place.

The drive took a bit but luckily, they didn't run into any pirate patrols so that was good news. When Will got closer to Doctor Earnhardt's house, he took the road to the side that stopped near the edge of the cliff. He helped Grant out of the truck as he saw the small alcove entrance that likely led to the small cave Daisy mentioned. They slowly walked into the cave to see it was set up with a campfire, lit oil lanterns, sleeping bags, some tents, containers of water and some food. And they saw what Daisy wanted them to see and it was an old boat. And by old, more like ancient as the entire thing was covered in grime and looked like it hadn't been used in years.

"Daisy, Angel!" Will shouted as Daisy and Angel who were on the boat saw Will and Grant enter.

"Grant!" Daisy shouted as she ran over and hugged him with all her might as she cried tears of joy. "Thank god you're ok."

"Me too, babe. But could you not hold me so tight. Still little banged up." Grant said as Daisy backed up and saw his leg. "Don't worry, just broken. It's better this than a bullet. Will save me."

"Then it's a good thing he did." Angel said as she hugged him.

"Is that what you wanted to show me?" Will asked, pointing to the boat.

"Yeah, isn't it great? If we can repair it, we have our ticket off the island." Daisy said.

"More like to the bottom of the ocean." Will told her as Daisy looked at him. "Besides, I have a better idea. I'll be right back."

Will returned to the truck and levitated it inside the cave by the entrance so to make moving everything a lot easier. He grabbed his backpack with the laptop, satellite uplink console he stole from the Medusa, and a radio and walked over to them. He put them on a makeshift table for them to see. "That's you're better idea?" Angel asked.

"Look, even if we could get off the island with that hunk of junk, Vaas and his pirates have boats with big guns, even mortars and RPG's." Will told them as Grant nodded.

"We'd be sitting ducks and back where we started." Grant said as Will nodded.

"Or worse. But the satellite uplink let me hijack the frequency the pirates use to communicate. With a little tinkering, I might be able to contact some friends who can send reinforcements with guns to help and take us home." Will said as Daisy and Angel liked the idea.

"Think you can do it?" Daisy asked.

"Definitely. But I need to find the others first. We're not leaving them here." Will said as they nodded. "All right. I got a location on where they may be. You guys stay here."

"Wait, I'm coming with you." Grant said as Daisy stopped him.

"Grant, stop. Your leg is broken." Daisy told him.

"I've been through worse. I'm trained army and we don't let brothers go into fights by themselves." Grant told her.

"Yeah, but with that leg you'll be a liability. Especially in the terrain these pirates work in." Will told him as he walked up and pats Grant on the shoulder. "I can do this, Grant. The training and experience I have makes this a cakewalk for me. Stay here and protect Daisy and Angel."

"All right, stay safe brother." Grant told him as they hugged.

"I'll bring Riley back. Don't worry." Will told him.

"So, what do we do? Just sit here and wait?" Angel asked as Will nodded.

"That's all you can do. The truck has a radio, should help past the time. And there's this." Will said as they walked over to the truck and he opened one of the chests to show gold and jewels and opened up one of the duffel bags to show a lot of money.

"Oh my god." Angel said as she was shocked.

"Where did you get all that?" Daisy asked.

"Blew up a weapons depot that belonged to the pirates and found one of their treasure troves. Figured it'd be a shame to let it go to waste." Will said with a smirk as Angel grabbed a ruby the size of her hand.

"I think that was a very smart decision on your part." Angel said as Daisy walked over and picked up a diamond.

"Wow." Daisy said.

"We've been through hell, but we're all going to make it home. I promise you. And we won't be going home empty handed. Count what's here. It'll help past the time. I'll see you guys when I get back. With our friends." Will said as he walked to the cave entrance.

"Will!" Daisy called as Will turned. "Be careful."

"Always." Will said as he left. Since the truck was going to stay here, Will grabbed the spare ATV near the Doctor's house and drove to Pirate's Cove. As he got close, he parked it on the side of the road and slowly made his way through the brush and saw a lookout post with a guard sitting in a chair, smoking a cigarette. He slowly got behind the pirate and then put him in a headlock, squeezing until he stopped moving. Will grabbed a pair of binoculars and looked around and saw there were probably dozens of pirates down there on patrols and more inside as well.

He saw two alarm posts around the camp and he couldn't risk them calling out for help. So, using the binoculars to get a clear view of the alarms, he crushed them to bits using his telekinesis. But this did draw the attention of some nearby pirates who heard the sound and saw the alarms were destroyed. Will took the zip line down to the beach and got his AR-15 ready as he slowly made his way through camp. He got up behind one pirate and stabbed him in the neck with his machete, then did a throwing knife takedown on another. Will kept moving as he saw four pirates grouped together so he got up behind one and killed him with his machete. He then quickly killed the second one with his machete, then took out his pistol and shot the other two pirates dead.

Will saw some pirates grouped by a gasoline barrel when he heard shouting as one of the pirates saw him in their camp and they started shooting at him. Will fired his AR-15 at the gas barrel and blew it up, killing a few pirates as he moved through the camp, shooting pirates after pirate he got in his crosshairs. He used his SHIELD training to expertly move through the area, using trained trigger pulls and breathing as he killed three pirates with several shots to the body before he ducked and turned to shot another pirate in the leg and then finished him with a head shot. He moved forward as he took cover behind an old barrel. Will ejected his spent clip and loaded a new one as he then rolled out from his cover and shot four more pirates full of bullets as his force field blocked any stray or direct shots from the remaining pirates.

Will ran forward and shot two more pirates full of bullets as he vaulted over a barrel and rolled back to his feet, then killing two more pirates with headshots. He saw a grenade on the ground so he threw it to the other side of the cove and it exploded, killing 2 more pirates. He then used the rest of his clip and killed the last four pirates outside the cove. He ejected the spent clip and loaded a fresh one in his rifle as he moved into the cave and killed two pirates with machetes who tried to rush him. Will quickly took cover behind a cargo container as two pirates rushed him with shotguns. He then knelt and peaked out behind cover and shot them full of bullets.

He moved through the cave and saw the pirates had retrofitted it for their purposes with cargo container, tables, cots, and essentially made it one of their bases they could push drugs from. Will moved through the cave as he hugged the cave wall by a corner and heard 5 pirates whispering amongst each other. Will held out his fist and concentrated as it began glowing blue. He concentrated more and more as the glowing got more intense and the air around his fist began to distort and ripple. Will then came out from the cover and threw out his hand, aiming to send a massive force wave and he did but he also sent a blast of blue energy from his hand that ripped straight through their metal and rock cover. It blasted through the air and smashed through the nearest pirate like a bullet, making a hole the size of Will's fist. The energy beam kept traveling as it killed the other pirates and blasted the reinforced door to the next room off its hinges. It hit it with so much force that it was sent flying across the room and squished two pirates who didn't get out of the way.

Will was astonished as he saw his new power do all that and he didn't even mean it. He looked at his hand as it was glowing from his blue telekinetic energy. "Cool. New power." Will said to himself as he kept moving into the new room and saw no pirates, just drugs and guns. He kept moving down the hall and heard Clarice's voice, so he moved with more haste but when he turned the corner, all he saw was a projector playing what looked like the ransom video Vaas made for Clarice. Will checked the area and saw there were no pirates just empty cages, a table with money and guns and the projector and speaker playing Clarice's ransom video with Tabby and James in the background.

"Mother fucker!" Will shouted as he crushed the projector with his telekinesis. "Tabby! Clare! James! It's me, Will!"

Will's adrenaline and anger rose as he moved to the next room and saw it the room the video was made in but was empty. "Guys, where are you?!" Will shouted as he moved through the room when his danger sense went off and he heard beeping. He looked to his side and saw a large pack of C4 charges around the room, so he dove behind some cover and raised his shield as the C4 went off, causing a huge explosion. Will shouted as he did his best to keep his shield up as the explosion and falling debris bombed his shield. His shield stayed strong despite the blasts of the explosion and impact of debris causing him some mental strain, but his continuous training strengthened him to the point where he could handle something like this.

The explosion subsided as Will lowered his shield and saw the scorch marks and residual embers of the fire and smell of explosive residue. He saw light from the sun shine through as the explosion must have blown open the door to some secret exit, so Will continued onward with his gun out. He saw the exit was another door, but the explosion caused part of the ceiling to collapse on it. He looked and saw that if he used his telekinesis to move the debris, it could cause the ceiling to cave in, so he reluctantly crawled through the small opening.

Which was a bad idea because when he was halfway through, his danger sense went off again and he felt a stinging prick in his neck. He reached up and grabbed whatever hit him in the neck and he saw it was a tranquillizer dart.

"Oh, crap." Will said as he felt the drug start to kick in. He managed to crawl out of the doorway and stand up as he began to feel dizzy. He tried to use his powers to create a shield but because of the drugs, his powers were sporadic as the blue energy of his telekinesis flickered like a dying candle. His precognition was gone as he felt another prick and saw another dart him in the arm before he fell to the ground, his vision slowly getting blurry when he saw pirates walk out of the foliage and over to him before he passed out.

Will blinked his eyes a bit as he began to wake up, his vision blurry and a little heavy but was getting better. His head felt like it was run over by a truck as the drugs from whatever they used in that tranquilizer dart were still in his system but was starting to abate. He could move his body but his head still felt a bit scrambled and he wished it would hurry up because he awoke to find himself in some old, rundown building he didn't recognize. He was tied to a chair with Tabby, Clarice, and James tied up and gagged across from him, three pirates armed with assault rifles in the same room and Vaas pouring a canister of gasoline all over while whistling a tune.

Will tried to use his telekinesis to subtly untie his restraints but the drugs were messing with his powers as he managed to tug on the rope holding his left leg in place. Vaas then came around, pouring gas around him and his friends before throwing the container at Will, slashing him all over.

"Pftt!" Will spit the gas out of his mouth as he shook his head to get the gasoline out of his face as Vaas took out a lighter and played with it.

"Who give you that ink, hmm?" Vaas asked as Will looked at his the tattoo on his arm. "I asked you a question, who give you that ink, hmm? Citra give you that ink, huh? You think that makes you one of us? You think that makes you like me, huh? Jersey shore boy got a hard-on for jungle fever. I'm gonna drive a bullet through my sisters' skull, like I'll do to your friends."

"Screw you, you psycho." Will said as he needed to buy some time to free himself from his restraints as he kept using his telekinesis to slowly undo his leg restraints. "I don't give a damn about your sister, the Rakyat or this fucking island. I just want my friends."

"I like you, Will. You've got a pair on you. More so than your little friends here." Vaas said as he stood up and ran his hand over Tabby's face. She pulled away in fear as Will struggled in his chair, wanting nothing more than to kill him. His left leg rope was now untied so he focused on his right leg. "And you're angry. I get that. I mean, you seem to genuinely care about your friends. I like that, no I respect that. Friends are like family. I mean, without family who the fuck are we?"

Vaas stood up as he began monologuing which Will played along with as he felt his powers coming back. "There was a time I would do anything for my sister, you know? First time I ever killed was for my sister. But that was not enough for her. No, no, no, no, no, please. You see the thing about our loved ones, right? OUR FUCKING LOVED ONES, they come and they blindside you every fucking time. So they say to me, they say, VAAS! VAAS! WHO THE FUCK IS IT GOING TO BE? Them or me! ME or them!" Vaas shouted as he went from zero to crazy in a matter of seconds.

"Like, you know, like they fucking think that I need to make a fucking choice." Vaas said as his lighter wasn't working. "By the way, this lighter really sucks. Piece of shit."

Vaas tossed it to one of his men. "So much for poetics. It's really too bad that Citra had to ink you up. Because now the only way to kill you is to erase you completely." Vaas said as he walked over to Tabby when the rope on Will's right leg undid itself so Will decided to act.

"Geez, you sister must have really screwed you over badly for you to do this over some little ink." Will said as Vaas and Will's friends looked at him. "Granted I've also been killing your men and genuinely been making life a living hell for you since you kidnapped us so I guess that's fair."

"Oh, so the Jersey boy's got a mouth on him." Vaas said as he walked over to him.

"No, I just have a habit of being a smartass. But hey, these locals are a little crazy of my taste so by all means fight them to your heart's desire. But can I give you a small piece of advice?" Will asked as Vaas chuckled.

"Ok, you amuse me. What advice do you have to give me before I cut your tongue out?" Vaas asked as he took out a knife and held it up near Will's face.

"You should never monologue." Will said as he head-butted Vaas in the face, breaking his nose and knocking him back. Will then kicked Vaas in the chest and sent him flying into his men and causing his knife to fly in the air. Will used his telekinesis to send it flying into the nearest pirate, killing him with a fatal knife throw to the heart. Will ripped his hands free of the rope, grabbed the chair and threw it at a Vaas and the other pirates as he grabbed the knife and pistol from the dead pirate and quickly cut Tabby, Clarice, and James free.

Vaas then stood up and aimed his pistol as Will saw him. "Go! GO!" Will shouted as he saw the gasoline all over and got an idea. He fired a bullet at a gas trail, causing it to light up and a wall of fire separated him and his friends from Vaas and the others.

"MOTHER FUCKER!" Vaas and his men fired their guns as Will and his friends ran through the now burning floor until they came upon a dead end, or more accurately, their only way out by jumping onto adjacent scaffolding.

"No, I can't do this!" Tabby shouted as Will heard the bullets still coming and the fire getting worse.

"It's the only way down! Come on!" Will shouted as they all backed up a bit, then ran forward and jumped onto the scaffolding but their combined weight caused the wood to give out and they tumbled to the ground. Will actually jumped over the scaffolding and floated to the ground as he levitated his friends down after the scaffolding broke and they all fell to the ground, safely and with no harm.

"You guys, ok?!" Wilk asked as he helped them up.

"I think so." Clarice said as Will saw a pickup truck.

"There, truck! GO!" Will shouted as they ran to the truck. Will saw a pirate standing by it and shot him in the head with his pistol.

"Oh my god, you killed him. "Clarice said as Will heard more pirates coming.

"GET IN!" Will shouted as he grabbed the pirate's AK-47 and ammo belt as James got in the driver's seat, Clarice in the side passenger seat and Tabby in the back. James tried to turn the car on but nothing.

"It won't start." James said as Will growled.

"Why can't anything be easy?" Will said as he pushed the truck to get it moving. He kept pushing when it started up as Will jumped in the truck bed. James drove off as the building they were being held captive in burned down. "HA! Take that you fucker!"

James drove them away when the pirates shot their guns at them, some of the bullets hitting the car and windows. "Tabby, Clarice, stay down! Will shouted as he fired back with the Ak-47 and killed a few of them as James drove them away down the road. Will then noticed a military box in the truck and opened it to see a GL-94 grenade launcher. He took it out and checked the slide to see it was loaded. "Sweet!"

Will fired a grenade as it killed a few pirates. He pumped the grenade launcher, expelling the spent shell as they made their escape. As they drove away, Will saw jeeps and trucks filled with pirates chase after them. He fired another grenade at the nearest jeep, causing it to explode and kill the pirates.

"What's going on back there?!" James shouted as Will pumped the grenade launcher.

"Traffic control!" Will shouted as he fired another grenade and destroyed a pirate pickup truck. He loaded the grenade launcher as more pirate vehicles chased after them.

"They're shooting at us!" Tabby shouted.

"Guess I must have pissed off Vaas!" Will shouted as he destroyed another vehicle. "Keep driving, James! You're doing great!"

"Where are we going?!" James shouted as he took a turn down a road and the pirates followed.

"Anywhere but here!" Will shouted as he destroyed another jeep.

"What are you doing, Will?!" Clarice shouted.

"Keeping us alive! It's ok!" Will shouted as he fired another grenade and blew up two jeeps close to each other. "Faster, James!"

"We're going too fast as is!" Clarice shouted.

"Says who, the cops?!" Will shouted as he fired another grenade and destroyed another vehicle. James took another turn as three more jeeps showed up but grouped together so Will fired another grenade and destroyed the jeeps. James kept driving as Will didn't see any more vehicles chasing after them. "I think that's all of them. Hell yeah! Those mother fuckers never knew who they messed with!"

James kept driving another mile down the road until he stopped as Tabby and Clarice jumped out of the car, shaking and trying to calm down from the adrenaline and emotional high they just went through.

"Oh my god. I think I'm going to be sick." Tabby said as she was bent over, about the heave.

"It's ok, Tabby." Will said as he walked over and pat her back as she shot up and hugged him. "I'm glad you guys are ok."

"Thank god you came for us." She said as Clarice came over and hugged him too.

"God this is a nightmare." Clarice said as Will hugged them close.

"It's not. But you guys are ok. That's all that matters." Will said as James came over and hugged him as Will hugged back. "Do you guys know where the others are?"

"They took Bobby and Alex to someplace called the bunker. I'm not sure about Keith or Daisy." Tabby said.

"What about Riley?" Will asked.

"I don't know." Clarice said, causing Will to sigh. Three of their friends were still missing.

"Ok, don't worry. We'll get them. I found Daisy and the others. They're safe. Come on." Will said as they got back in the car and Will drove them to Doctor Earnhardt's manor and to the cave entrance near the cliff. Will, Tabby, Clarice, and James walked in to see Grant, Daisy, and Angel sitting by a fire and eating some food while the radio played. "Guys, I'm back."

There was a huge relief moment as Tabby, Clarice, and James was happy to see Grant, Daisy, and Angel alive and vice versa. After a few minutes of relief and happiness that the other was alive, Grant noticed they were still three short.

"Where's Riley?" Grant asked.

"He's still missing." Will said.

"Along with Keith, Alex, and Bobby. But I'll find them, guys. Don't worry about it. For now, just stay here and stay safe. Vaas is going to be out for blood after our escape but it's nothing I can't handle." Will said as they nodded Daisy got Tabby, Clarice, and James settled in as Will walked over to the laptop, radio and satellite uplink and got to work on scrapping together some kind of communications device to contact Jarvis again.

He sat down in a chair in front of a table littered with spare parts the Doctor managed to scrounge up. Will manage to take apart the radio and jerry-rig a makeshift communications station and connect it to the laptop. He then used the pick-up truck's car battery to power the satellite uplink and began encrypting a signal to send to Jarvis. Will waited a few more minutes for the signal to finish encrypting and then called Jarvis again.

Will waited a few seconds when the call connected. "Hello?" Jarvis answered.

"Jarvis, it's me Will. I managed to get someplace safe with some of my friends and work out an encrypted signal." Will said, using the radio microphone to speak.

"Excellent work on the signal, Mr. Detmer. And may I say it's nice to hear you are alive and well." Jarvis said as Will smiled.

"Thanks, Jarvis. Did you manage to get in contact with SHIELD?" Will asked as his friend saw him using the radio to talk to someone.

"Yes, I did. I'm connecting you right now. I also looked at the visual files you sent me and have a brief data packet for you if you wish to see it." Jarvis said.

"That's fine. It'd be a better idea to know what the hell I'm dealing with." Will said as Jarvis sent the data packet over the encrypted line and Will saw it appear on the laptop. "Got it."

Will opened the file to see Jarvis had accumulated a lot of data on the island and the illegal pirate's operation. "Wow, that's a lot of drugs." Will said as he looked over the files.

"Yes, it is, Mr. Detmer. The man in the photo you sent me is known as Vaas Montenegro. The DEA has a file on him as he is the right hand man to someone known as Hoyt Volker. Thanks to your actions in France, Mr. Volker now runs the world's largest slave trading operation in the world." Jarvis said as the data packet contained a photo of Volker along with a lot of information. This man was being watched and under investigation by the DEA, Interpol NIA, DSI, and CSD of Thailand. "Along with his slave trading ring, he also happens to be the largest purveyor of drugs in the entire Pacific area."

"Jesus, the weeds just keep on coming. I think you were right about me having bad luck, Jarvis." Will said.

"While I don't believe in such a thing, given your brief track record it's hard to dispute the claim. Hoyt Volker has the entire chain of islands you are on under his control and has managed to avoid arrest and prosecution because he has middle men deal with his buyers to avoid capture." Jarvis said.

"Well he's going to regret taking me and my friend's captive." Will said as the encrypted line to SHIELD finally connected.

"This is SHIELD Tower 779 to William Detmer, please authenticate." The Shield Operator said as Will's friend anxiously waited to hear what happened next.

"William Detmer, responding. Temporary identification 6-Bravo-0-Tango-Charlie-7-9. Confirm authentication?" Will asked as he waited for a response.

"Authentication confirmed. Transferring line." The operator said as the line was transferred.

"Will, good to hear from you. How's paradise?" Barton asked, causing Will to chuckle.

"Peachy. Beautiful jungles, lovely wildlife, sun soaked beached with pirates that kidnap you in order to sell you as a slave and to protect their large drug operation. A little hiccup but other than that, just another day in paradise." Will responded as Barton chuckled.

"Glad to hear you're ok." Barton replied.

"Thanks, Barton. So, any chance I can get a SHIELD strike force and a quinjet rescue for me and 10 civilians?" Will asked.

"At the moment, no." Barton said.

"What do you mean no?" Will asked.

"Fury was made aware of your situation and tasked me with leading your recovery. You know how important you are." Barton said.

"Oh, yeah, I'm a regular walking one man army. What do you mean I can't get a pickup right now?" Will asked.

"Satellite images of the island chain show two highly advanced SAM launchers. One on the northern island and another on the south with a highly advanced radar jammer next to it." Barton said as Will sighed in despair.

"Surface to air missile launchers. How far of a range?" Will asked.

"At least 2 miles. Whoever Volker does business with clearly pays him a lot of money and he spent it wisely. The stealth tech on our quinjets can't beat the radar installation and the council would need a very good reason to deploy the helicarrier to your location other than for one agent in training and 10 civilians." Barton told him.

"Glad to know where I stand in the big picture. So, I'm essentially on my own." Will said.

"Is it any different than when you were in Paris? But I had our SHIELD analysts record all the chatter about Volker's operation and from what we can tell he hasn't sold any of your friends yet, which means they're still on the island. And I might know someone who can help you against Volker. According to our intel, there's supposed to be a CIA deep cover agent embedded in a shanty town on the eastern side of the island. He's been there for years so if anyone knows how to find your friends it'll be him." Barton said.

"And how do I get him to help me before he tries to kill me?" Will asked.

"If you're screwing with Volker, he'll definitely want your help. Just remember your training, you can do this Will." Barton said.

"How do I find him?" Will asked.

"He'll likely be the only American in the shanty town. Good luck, Will." Barton said.

"Yeah, thanks Barton. I'll keep you updated." Will said as he ended the transmission. He then turned to his friends who were looking at him. "So, good news is that we'll be getting a rescue. Bad news, it won't be until we find our friends and I screw with Vaas and his boss."

"Seriously?" Angel asked as Will sighed.

"Sorry, guys. But Vaas and his boss have the entire island chain set up with a surface to air missile launcher. If I don't take that out, even with a boat, we'd never make it off the island." Will told them. "And we're not leaving Riley, Keith, Alex or Bobby behind. So, just stay here and stay safe. I'll find the others and then we're heading home."

Will added the new emergency SHIELD contact number to his satellite phone so he could contact Barton from there instead of from the radio. Barton had his SHIELD analysts and the SHIELD Tower recognize his number so Will would be able to call him next time. He bid his friends farewell and then left the cave, grabbing the AK-47 from the truck and drove towards the eastern part of the island when the satellite phone went off. Will checked it and saw it was Dennis.

"Dennis?" Will asked.

"William. I have tried to reach you many times. What happened?" Dennis asked.

"Vaas captured me. He had a trap set up at P.C. I managed to make it out with some of my friends, but he still has the others. Do you have any other leads on where he has the others?" Will asked.

"I'm sorry my friend but no. I have not heard anything. You have proven yourself strong, William. No man has escaped from Vaas's grasp once, let alone twice. I cannot help you, but I know someone who can." Dennis said.

"Who?" Will asked.

"Citra, the leader of the Rakyat. She can guide you to the center and reveal your true power. She can help you find your friends and give you the power to defeat Vaas and Hoyt." Dennis told him.

"I think I'm fine in that department, Dennis. Listen, I appreciate everything you've done for me and my friends, but I'm not a soldier for the Rakyat." Will told him.

"You are a natural born warrior, William. If was your destiny to find your way to us and now Citra will be the one to guide you and show you your true potential. Only with her help, can you defeat Vaas. Her temple is south in the jungle. I will meet you at the gates." Dennis said.

"No, Dennis, I don't think—" Will couldn't finish as Dennis hung up. "Damn it. Why does this stuff happen to me?"

Will decided to amuse Dennis as thanks for all his help. Will drove to the southern part of the island where the map showed old ruins so that might be where the temple is. Will drove down the road when he saw a jeep on the side and Dennis standing there so he stopped the car and went over to him. The two walked to the entrance of an old temple when Dennis halted him before they entered.

"William. Stand still and in plain view. No sudden movement, ok?" Dennis asked.

"Dennis, what the hell is going on?" Will asked when his hearing picked up some movement behind the temple.

"Dennis, who stands beside you?!" Will heard someone shout.

"A young warrior, here to be presented to Citra!" Dennis shouted back.

"Proceed!" The man shouted back as the doors to the temple opened.

"Follow me." Dennis said as Will followed him into the temple. It was an ancient Asian temple with old stone statutes that would be a dream for any archaeologist to discover. Fires were lit as Will saw Rakyat warriors all around, keeping an eye on him. Will couldn't detect any ill intentions at the moment and his danger sense hadn't kicked in, so he kept moving. Eventually, they made their way to a central courtyard and at the center was a large tree, beautiful and looked hundreds of years old.

They kept moving when two Rakyat warriors with AK-47s stopped them. "Dennis! You brought an outside in here!" The warrior shouted.

"I have found the one who will not fail." Dennis said as they pointed their guns at Will.

"Get back!" They said as Will kept his distance.

"Berhenti!" Will heard as a woman stepped up behind the tree and the warriors lowered their guns. Will looked at her and recognized her face as the one from Vaas's compound with the knife stuck in the head. She must be Citra, leader of the Rakyat. "Let me see your arm."

Will raised his left arm, showing the small tattoos that Dennis had made when he saved him. "This is William, the man I've been telling you about." Dennis told him.

"Hi." Will said as the guards shoved their guns back in his face.

"Do they teach you to speak without permission in America?" Citra asked.

"Yes. The same time they teach you it's rude to shove guns in a person's face." Will shot back as Citra walked forward.

"Senapanka bawa." Citra said as they lowered their guns. They stepped aside as Citra walked forward and grabbed his left arm.

"You are brave to joke in the face of death." Citra said as she ran her hand over the tattoo, her unique rock bracelet touching his arm and creating a small spark of blue that went unseen by everyone. "Fine work. I'll give it back to you after I cut it off!"

She pulled a knife and held it against his arm, but Will quickly grabbed her hand and stopped the blade as the guards raised their guns at him. "I've faced death before and this is not it." Will said as he took her knife and threw it on the ground. "Try that again, and I won't be as nice."

Citra let his arm go as she looked him up and down. "Very few outsiders have seen this temple. The inner courtyard, fewer still. Why are you here?" Citra asked.

"Dennis told me to come. He said you could help me stop Vaas and Hoyt and save my friends." Will said as Citra scoffed.

"Is that all? I will not command my army for you. You are a lamb. Not one of us." Citra said to him.

"If I was a lamb, I wouldn't have been making hell for Vaas like I am. Look, I don't give a damn about your stupid war with him, I just want my friends back." Will said as Citra chuckled.

"Very funny. Please leave." Citra said as she walked away.

"Gladly." Will said as he turned to leave.

"William, wait." Dennis said, trying to stop him from leaving.

"Look, Dennis I appreciate everything you've done but this was a mistake. I don't belong here. I better—" Will was cut off as his left arm began to burn. "ARGH!"

"William, what's wrong?" Dennis asked as Will dropped to his knees as his arm began burning like it was being dipped into an inferno. He looked and saw the tattoo base was glowing blue like when he used his powers. His hands began glowing as well as his eyes which meant his powers were activating in response to his tattoo but why was he reacting this way.

"ARGH!" Will shouted as he grabbed his left arm as the tattoo glowed blue and spread up his forearm until it reached about halfway there and stopped. Will's eyes glowed bright blue as he was hit with a series of visions. The visions showed Alex, Keith, Bobby, and Riley, a shanty town, some weird guy tormenting Keith, Vaas antagonizing him, Riley with Hoyt, and then an ancient looking stone dagger and a large blue glowing rock, the same one that gave him his powers before the visions ended.

Will groaned in pain as his head felt like crap. He looked up and saw Dennis staring at him in worry. Will sat up and saw the tattoo had magically spread up his arm, adding in new symbols that weren't there before. "What the hell is happening to me? Did you do this?" Will asked Dennis.

"I did no such thing. The ancient warrior has chosen you." Dennis said.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Will asked as Dennis helped him back to his feet.

"It seems you are not a lamb after all, William Detmer." Citra said as she looked at him. "Follow me."

Citra walked into the temple as Will and the guards followed her. They came to a long hallway with ancient murals and paintings on the wall. "Once, long ago, there was a lotus pond filled with clean water. The bank composed of smooth sand and the smell of blossoms moved the air. But blue creatures lived above the pond's surface, devouring any who they came across." Citra told him as Will saw an old mural of the native inhabitants of the island and was looked like strange blue colored creatures coming down from the sky. She then walked over to the other side that showed a man standing against the creatures, but his body was surrounding by a blue fire…similar to the one that activates when Will uses his powers.

"A warrior from the northern kingdom heard of the creatures and vowed to slay them. He traveled to the very heart and bowels of the island. He painted the tatau on his body and took power from the land of the dead. And when he was ready, he walked the path of the lotus pond. The creatures descended from the heavens as the warrior raised his dagger, the very earth beneath rising as he cut the creatures heads clean off their bodies. Their bodies fell to the ground and became our island. The descendants of the warrior, became the Rakyat, our people." Citra told him as Will looked at the wall and saw that the ancient paintings showed the warrior seemed to be move the earth at will…kind of like with telekinesis. "Now, another giant has risen. Prove you are worthy of the tatau. Retrieve that which has been lost and I will give you the power you desire."

Citra turned to leave as Will walked out of the temple. "She is something, is she not?" Dennis asked.

"She's something all right." Will said, not feeling comfortable about Citra. "What did she mean, bring her back what was lost?"

"That is for you to figure out, my friend. For if the ancient warrior of the Rakyat really did bless you, then you will know." Dennis said as Will nodded. Will exited the temple as he tried to figure out what the hell happened. His headache was gone, and he felt…better. Better than he did before, like he was recharged and ready to take on the world. He looked at the tattoo that had magically grown on his arm and realized he only felt like this after the tattoo expanded. Maybe it had something to do with this. He closed his eyes and brought up his short-term memory and replayed what happened before he was hit with visions.

Will watches his memories from a third person point of view to see what could have caused the vision. He watched as Dennis brought him into the temple, Citra spoke to him, touched his arm, and pulled her knife out. Will then noticed something when Citra touched his arm. He saw a weird rock bracelet on her wrist and it skimmed his arm when she touched him. Will replayed the sequence in his head twice and saw that when the bracelet skimmed his arm, there was a small flash of blue light he didn't notice before…blue light like from the meteor that gave him his powers and turned him into a half-alien. He then looked at her bracelet and there were some similarities to the bracelet and the meteor. Could there have been more than one?

"There's something more to this island, isn't there?" Will said to himself as he knew that whatever caused his tattoo to grow and give him his visions was tied to the meteor that gave him his powers. Except that meteor was gone…so could there be another?

With no other answers to what the hell was going on with him, Will decided to focus on finding that CIA deep cover agent and get some more info to find his friends. So, he made his way to the Shanty Town to the east in pirate territory. Along the way, he took down a few more signal jammers to make contacting Barton a lot easier. Will parked by the outskirts and tucked a pistol behind his back. He walked into the town and noticed they weren't any pirates around, so he was fine for now. The town wasn't doing so well, probably from Vaas and his pirates. He walked around when he noticed a bar on a hill, the same one from his vision. It was a good place to start so he walked in and got a beer at the counter. He looked around and didn't see anyone except some locals, so he decided to wait and see if anything happened. If this place showed up in his vision, it was important.

He waited a bit and drank his beer as he overhead some guys playing poker. "Hey, did you hear about Snow White? Shut up about Snow White. Every time you tell this story, we're playing. What the hell are you talking about? Snow White escapes from Vaas's prison camp with one of the Americans. Next thing you know, he's killing all of Vaas's men. Awwww, that's the worst version of the story I ever heard. You ruined the drama. Sounds like Hoyt needs to step in…if it's true. Hoyt would make quick work of that guys, that's for sure. Probably kill him long and painful. He already did with the owner of the mine. Hoyt's an artist, he'll kill this one special. Am I right? What did you say he looked like again?"

'When I make it off this island, I'm not letting the others or anyone from SHIELD hear about that nickname.' Will thought as he saw an American in a white suit and sunglasses walk in. He talked to the bartender for a bit about some stuff and then he walked out. 'That's him. The only American in this whole place.'

Will paid for his beer and slowly followed the guy through town. The man in white talked to a few other locals and Will could overheard bits of their conversation about intel. Most likely the man getting information on what was going on. Will did a quick scan of his mind and found out he was Willis Huntley, CIA.

'Thank you, Barton. If SHIELD is anything, it has accurate information.' Will said as he used his training from Romanoff to stay hidden and followed Huntley to an isolated shack at the edge of town.

Will walked up to the door and his danger sense kicked in, the place was booby trapped so Will made a forcefield around his body and walked in. "You have ten seconds to tell me who you are before I remotely detonate the C4 under this table and this whole place exploded like a pop bottle." Huntley said.

"Will Detmer. Or Snow White if you been hearing the rumors floating around the island." Will said.

"Really? Interesting. Tell me, Mr. Detmer, do you consider yourself a patriot?" Huntley asked.

"Before you even think about going off on a rant, let me just say that I need your help. Vaas has my friends and I need to get them. Whatever you need me to do, I'll do it Agent Huntley." Will told him.

"I don't know what you're taking about?" Huntley responded.

"Relax, Huntley. I'm not here to bust your balls. Will Detmer, recruit in training to an intelligence agency like yourself but with a string of bad luck that brought me here. If you really are CIA, you'll know what I did in Paris to the Albanian trafficking ring and the Saint-Claire slave operation so let's just cut the bullshit." Will said as Huntley didn't respond right away.

"It seems you're well informed, Mr. Detmer. You're growing reputation precedes you." Huntley said.

"Good to know. I'm not here to ruin whatever it is you're doing, I just need help finding my friends. And if I can stop Vaas and Hoyt then it's a good thing for you." Will said.

"Very well. By the way, Vaas has your friends Robert Drake and Alex Summers, and I'm zeroing in on Keith Ramsay. I'll help you get them if you help me. There's something I'm looking for. We'll trade favors." Huntley said.

"Deal." Will responded as the wall of a shelf moved apart to reveal a hidden staircase. Will walked down and saw Huntley sitting at a desk with a radio set up. His whole place looked like something out of the Cold War, but I guess you make do with what you got.

"Mr. Detmer. You're not at all what I expected." Huntley said as he walked over.

"Appearances can be deceiving. A little old school around here but I guess it works for you." Will said as Huntley walked over and took something out of a box and put it on the table in front of him.

"Flammewerfer." Huntley said as Will looked it over and saw it was a small flamethrower.

"Flamethrower. What do you need?" Will asked.

"You like to get to the point, I respect that." Huntley said.

"Only when the people I care about are at risk." Will replied as Huntley nodded.

"Hoyt Volker is the boss of a very good friend of yours: Vaas. He also happens to run the largest slave trading ring in the South Pacific, with aims to expand into Europe after your take down of Saint-Claire. On top of that, he grows drugs. If we set fired to his fields and his boat, he's gonna canoe over to this island. I get what I want, and we learn more about your friends. Kapesh? I feel like that's only an Italian thing, only Italians can say that. It's like spraying furniture gold. You know what I mean? Anyway, here's the gun." Huntley said as Will picked it up, checked the full tank and loaded it into place.

"Thanks." Will said as he took the strap and put it over his shoulder. "You have an armory here? I lost my guns when Vaas ambushed me."

"Sorry, can't give you my stuff but there's a gun store in the center of town. Tell the lady there the man in the white suit sent you. She's sweet on me and if you're screwing with Vaas and Hoyt, she'll give you a discount. And if I can give you a little advice, choose some things that don't go boom. Vaas already has his men scouring the island for a crazy American. So, if you want to make it off this island alive, I'd stick to the shadows and be a bit quieter." Huntley said as Will nodded. He left Huntley's shack and went over to the gun store and saw the old lady running it.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

"I need some guns. The man in the white suit sent me." He said as she nodded and had him close the door.

"What can I get you?" She asked as Will looked at her limited inventory.

"I need some firepower. Powerful but also quiet." Will said as the lady took out a SIG Sauer P226 with an attached suppressor, a thigh holster, and about 8 pistol clips. Will handed her some money and put the thigh holster on his right leg and strapped his pistol in. He put the ammo clips on the left side of his holster belt.

"That's the best if you want to kill someone and keep quiet." The woman said as she also put some flashbang grenades on the table.

"Anything else?" Will asked as she looked around and took down a hunting recurve bow and a quiver of about 40 arrows.

"This is the best if you want to kill without making noise." She said as Will contemplated. The bow was actually pretty useful before and if Vaas was really after him, Huntley was right. He needed to keep a lower profile now that they were gunning for him.

"I'll take it." Will said as he paid her for it and took the bow and quiver.

"Since you like it, I'll give you these as well." She said as she handed him a spare quiver with 20 arrows inside. Will took one out and saw the arrowheads were different. "Explosive and Molotov arrows. I have them around because no one uses the bow."

"Right." Will said as he took the quiver when something caught his attention in the corner of his eyes. "What's that?"

The woman looked over where was looking and saw it was a jacket. She brought it over and Will saw it was an old dark green leather jacket with streaks on the back and shoulders. "It's a hunting jacket. Our hunters wear these when they go out to help them blend into the brush. If you don't move, you won't be seen." She said as Will thought about it. He wasn't too keen on the color, but he could use something to improve his stealth and the hoodie would help him with the sun. "If you want it, it's free."

"I'll take it." Will said as she gave it to him. He took everything to his pick-up truck and drove to the fields that Huntley told him about. He stopped his car on the side of the road and put on the hunting jacket. It was a decent size fit as he made sure it was ok for him to move around in and it was surprisingly comfortable and roomy. He felt the heat of the sun beating down on him, so he put his hood on and there was also a facemask in the collar, so he pulled it up to cover his mouth and nose. He grabbed the quiver of arrows and filled it some of the explosive and Molotov special arrows the store keeper gave him. He also took the flamethrower and slowly made his way through the brush and saw two rows of marijuana plants with two guards sitting by some crates and two guard dogs.

Will held the recurve bow and put two arrows on the draw string. He pulled back and aimed, then released as the two arrows flew through the air and killed the pirates. The guard dogs were on alert, so Will pulled out his pistol and shot them down with headshots. He then took out the flamethrower and began spraying the plants as the fuel and fire began to spread, burning the drugs.

"Ok, this is awesome." Will said as he kept burning the drugs and when he was finished he moved back into the brush and moved to the next area of the farm. "Jesus, that's a lot of weed."

He saw a few pirates scattered around and knew they would be onto him soon with the fields burning. He saw one pirate on the far away field next to an oil drum, so he took out an explosive arrow and aimed. He adjusted the arc to counter for wind resistance and released as the arrow hit the oil drum and created a huge explosion. The explosion set two fields on fire as the pirates began to scramble to figure out what the hell happened. Will fired more arrows from his hiding spot and killed four more pirates before the rest began shooting in his general direction. Will stuck to the jungle and ran as he blended into the environments with the pirates shooting wildly, trying to figure out who was attacking them. Will ran through the jungle and felt himself moving a lot faster than normal. Will fired two more arrows and killed two more pirates as he saw more coming in from the shacks by the water. He saw two more fields of marijuana, so he ignited the flamethrower and threw it far away and high into the air over the two fields before firing an arrow at it and causing it to explode.

The exploding flamethrower showered down fuel and fire and it began burning the remaining two fields as well as any pirates who were unlucky to be near. Will kept moving as he jumped from the jungle and while he was in the air, he fired two more arrows, killing two more pirates. He rolled from the jump and ducked behind cover as three more pirates came up from the town, shooting at him. He popped out from behind cover and killed one with an arrow to the heart and ducked back down as the pirates kept shooting at him. Will then shot up from the cover and fired two more arrows, killing the pirates. He then headed into the small town by the water and jumped onto the roof of a building, using his height to his advantage and took down four more pirates with arrows before he saw a pirate in heavy duty fully body armor with an LMG step out from a house and fire at him. Will ran along the roof as he tossed a flashbang grenade at the pirate, distorting him. Will then jumped off the roof and onto the pirate, killing him with a machete to the neck.

Will turned to the ocean and saw a boat loaded with drugs making a break for open water, so he pulled out one of the explosive arrows and fired it at the boat, causing it to explode in a shower of fire, oil, and cocaine. "And done." Will said as he looked at the carnage of the fight. That was a lot easier than he thought it was be. Something seemed different with him and not the usual telekinetic super brain part of him. Usually he used his powers to run or jump higher, but he ran through the jungle and village a lot faster than he normally would. He was a lot quicker and agile and that jump onto the heavy was like he had done it a million times. He looked at his body and wondered how this was so easy when he looked at the tattoo on his arm.

'The jungle speaks through the warrior. The path leads to the heart of the jungle. Follow the path, and you will find the answer.' He remembered hearing Dennis say about the tatau. Could this thing be the reason why he feels different? How he's able to move and fight faster than before? He'd have to get some answers.

Will walked around the camp and picked up extra ammo and arrows as well as burned any remaining drug stashes or piles there were. He looked around for anything of interest like notes or maps but nothing, so he just scrounged up some extra ammo. He did manage to find a Remington Model 700 Sniper rifle. He found some compatible ammo clips and a suppressor, so he took it and put it in the truck and drove back to the town. The drive took a bit, but Will got their around mid-day. He left the bow, quiver and sniper rifle in the truck and walked back into town and into Huntley's shack. He walked into Huntley's secret room and saw him working on some files.

"Hey, it's done." Will said as Huntley nodded.

"Thanks. Nice jacket." Huntley said as Will pulled his hood and facemask down. "I got you an ear piece."

He handed it to Will who put it in his right ear. "Right. Have you found anything on my friends?" Will asked as Huntley walked over to his shelf to grab a cassette tape and put it into a tape recorder.

"I'm closing in on something. By the way, you're starting to get popular." Huntley said as he played the recording and heard Vaas talking with a voice that sounded familiar.

"Lovely weather we're having. Why, boss, you planning a parade? Hahaha. That's why I love you, Vaas, you make me laugh! Everything in business is so goddamn serious. But you. So, uh…what about Snow White?" The recording played as Huntley put some pictures down of Vaas and Hoyt together, of Hoyt arriving on the island with a helicopter and picture of the island with a town circle in red pen.

"You know what, I don't give a fuck, I don't give a fuck about him. Really? Then why am I here? Once you've got the ransom money, his friends are gonna be sold like that. I killed his friend on beach. I did what you wanted with the other one. It's my sister, she's inking that white boy. I don't give a fuck about your family! It is by my grace that your head isn't impaled on the antenna of my car! Therefore, I would like it if you gave a fuck about Will Detmer! Ok, Hoyt. Ok, alright. Fantastic. I am really loving this weather. What's the name of that village down the road. Beras Town? A bunch of Native Sympathizers. They stole a transportation manifest that's close to my heart. I'd like to pay them a visit. Nice to meet you Vaas." Huntley then shut off the recording.

"Better make your way to Beras town." Huntley said.

"All right. Who has the manifest?" Will asked.

"I'll tell you when you get there. I'll need a few pictures. Here." Huntley said as he tossed him a camera.

"Right." Will said as he left and drove to the town. He stopped down the road and approached on foot, armed with his bow as his hood and face mask were back up. He touched his earpiece to turn it on. "Willis, I'm at Beras Town."

"There's a shack overlooking the pond. You can see the center of the village. Don't be detected." Huntley said as Will slowly made his way up to the shack and saw a helicopter parked on a rice field. Will took out the camera and zoomed in to see Hoyt with two military looking men, more professional then Vaas's pirates. Looks like Hoyt has his own army.

"Hoyt's here." Will said.

"Wait until he leaves. Otherwise he'll make chicken chow mein out of your friends." Huntley said as Will zoomed the camera in, took a few pictures and watched as there were several villagers with their hands tied behind their backs being marched at gunpoint into the rice fields.

"I want it to be clear that anyone…anyone who helps those savages out in the woods will end up like our friends here! Is my point coming across?! You! Run!" Hoyt fired his gun in the air as the villagers ran into the rice field and some of them were killed in explosions. The entire rice field was mine.

"Jesus Christ." Will was shocked at the horror. Hoyt was a twisted fuck.

"You see the guy in the red striped shirt?" Huntley asked as Will saw the guy make it across the rice field in one piece and was hiding in a processing shack as some of Hoyt's men toyed with him. "Go in and extract him. He has the transportation manifest that'll lead you to your friends Robert Drake and Alex Summers. It'll be encrypted but I'll decode it if you snap me a picture."

"I'm on it." Will said as he saw the two men shooting at the villager, so he quietly made his way behind them. He stabbed one guy in the back of the head with the machete and then quickly stabbed the other in the neck before he could even move his gun. With them dead, Will made his way through the mine field and cut the guy free. "Agent Willis Huntley asked me to extract you. He said you can help me find my friends. Tell me where they are."

"No. I need to go to the village now. I'll tell you when we get there." The man said as Will heard Vaas's pirates closing in.

"All right, stay close and don't get shot." Will said as he moved up the rice field and shot three pirates dead with arrows and took cover behind some barrels of water. He grabbed a grenade of a dead pirate and threw it at a group of four, killing them in an explosion. With the pirates dead for now, Will and Rongo made their way into the village.

"Up the hill! This way, come!" Rongo said as Will followed him when more pirates showed up. Will fired his pistol and killed four more before he ducked behind a house to reload. He then moved around the side of the house to blindside a pirate. He shot him in the gut and moved his body forward, using it as a human shield as the pirates shot at him. Their bullets killed the pirate shield as Will pushed his body away and killed them with headshots. He hugged a corner of a house and then stabbed his machete behind the corner and killed a pirate who tried to surprise him. He took the pirates knife and threw it at a sniper on the roof.

He holstered his pistol and cleared an alleyway as a pirate with a machete charged at him. Will blocked and parried his knife with the bow. He locked his arm, punched him in the face, stomach and chest with his bow before grappling him to the ground and stomping on his face, knocking him out. Will then fired five arrows in rapid succession and killed five more pirates.

He and Rongo finally made it to a large hut that was littered with guns and ammunition and the place was turned over. "Bastards! They robbed me. Where is it?!" Rongo shouted as he began looking everywhere for the manifest. "Guard me while I search!"

Will heard more pirates coming and grabbed a grenade and a C4 brick from the ammo pile. He took a piece of rope and tied them together before pulling the pin and throwing it down the road as a huge pirate troop truck arrived. The C4/grenade explosion took out the truck and killed the pirates as Will calmly made his way over to Rongo. He stopped a bit and fired an arrow to the side and behind him without even looking, killing two snipers before walking over to Rongo.

"I found it. I found the transportation manifest!" Rongo said as he handed it to Will.

"Great." Will said as he used the camera and took a picture. He then sent it to Willis. "Willis, I just sent you the picture."

"The pirates use codes Neanderthals can read. Drake and Summers are being transported on the old road. I've sent the decrypted coordinates." Huntley said as Will got a message on the satellite phone.

"I'm on it." Will said as he ran for the pick-up truck and drove as fast as he could to the coordinates. He drove through the woods and slammed on the brake as he arrived near old road when Huntley contacted him.

"You're too late. The convoy's next stop is the fishery. The pirates are moving your friends to a chopper there." Huntley said as Will looked at his map and saw the Fishery was a little further away.

"I'll get to a vantage point before that exchange happens." Will said as he drove down the road as fast as he could and saw some pirates up ahead at a shack overlooking the river. Will swerved to a stop, took out his pistol and shot the pirates dead before they could raise an alarm. Will grabbed his bow, quiver and the M700 sniper rifle and walked over to the ledge for a perfect sniping position.

Will laid down on the ground with the sniper set up on the rock ledge, spare ammo clips next to him as Will checked the scope and everything was clear for now. He loaded a clip and pulled the bolt action handle and loaded a round, ready for anything. He looked over the fishery and saw it was empty but there was boat with a machine gun in the water, a possible escape. He waited a bit longer when he heard a helicopter come in from the west and fly down low before hovering down by the fishery. Will zoomed in and saw the helicopter touch down and four pirate jeeps show up. One Jeep had a .30 caliber machine gun on the top and there were about 11 pirates total with Bobby and Alex in the middle car.

The cars pulled into the fishery as Will adjusted his scope to zoom in a bit more and clear up the image. He saw two of the pirates push Bobby and Alex out of the car and onto the ground. "Leave them alone." Will said as he saw the pirates kicking Alex to the ground, so Will took a breath and squeezed the trigger. The bullet flew through the air and killed the pirate with a headshot. Because of the suppressor there wasn't a loud bang, so the pirates were confused as to what the hell happened. Will quickly ejected the spent shell and fired another bullet at the pirate near Bobby. He then quickly shot another bullet at the pirate on the machine gun turret as the pirates realized they were under attack.

Bobby and Alex quickly ran into the fishery as some of the pirates shot at them. Will aimed at a pirate near the railing and killed him with a shot to the chest. He saw the helicopter leaving so he focused his attention on Alex and Bobby. He loaded a new clip into the sniper rifle and fired at two more pirates, nailing two more headshots. More began to arrive as Will killed some more and they now knew where he was and began firing at his sniper spot but were too far away to be accurate. Alex and Bobby moved along the fishery towards the boat so, Will kept the pirates off them. He shot at nearby gasoline and oil barrels to create explosions and draw their attention away. Some pirates showed up with RPGs and fired at him, but they missed so Will took them out.

After several clips of sniper ammo, the pirates were dead and Bobby and Alex made it to the boat. "ALEX! BOBBY! OVER HERE!" Will shouted as he waved at them. Will put the sniper rifle on his back and dove into the water as Alex drove the boat up to him. Will swam over as Bobby helped into the boat.

"Hey, thanks for saving us, man. Nice Jacket." Bobby said.

"Later, Bobby. Let's get out of here." Will said as Alex hit the throttle and drove the boat down the river. Will got in the gun turret as more pirates showed up at the fishery and he shot them all down or they ducked to avoid being shot. "Alex, take us out to sea!"

Alex drove the boat as best he could, trying to keep them straight as Will turned the turret to the front. Patrol boats showed up and opened fire at them. Will made quick work of them with the turret, destroying the boats or killing the pirates. Some jeeps drove alongside the beach to chase them as Will took care of them when the machine gun ran out of ammo. A barrage of bullets nearly destroyed the motor as he saw the chopper from before coming right at them.

"A chopper?!" Alex shouted as Will took out an explosive arrow and aimed. He fired it and blew up the chopper, the wreckage falling into the sea as Alex drove them away. "YEAH!"

With no more pirates after them, Alex slowed the boat down so they could all catch their breath. "Jesus, Will. I've never been so glad to see you in my life." Alex said as he and Will hugged.

"Glad you're all right." Will said as Bobby sat down.

"Man, you saved us. And they were putting the screws to my dad. He was about to give them a ton of money." Bobby said.

"Bobby, you would have been sold into slavery afterward, even if he'd paid. I overheard the boss talk about what was going to happen." Will told him.

"Oh, shit…man this is some heavy shit, man! I don't know if I can deal with this." Bobby said as Will knelt down to him.

"Don't worry, Bobby. You're a lot tougher than you give yourself credit for." Will said as Bobby nodded.

"All right. Let me take over, Alex. I'll get you guy to the others." Will said as he drove the boat to the Professor's side of the island and to the small alcove by the ocean. Will drove the boat into the cave and saw the others sitting by a fire eating some food. The cave had been a bit more spruced up with extra tents, chairs and sleeping bags.

"Guys, I found Alex and Bobby!" Will said as he stopped the boat. Alex and Bobby got out and rushed over and they hugged the others.

"Oh, man, we're glad you two are ok." Daisy said as the Doctor stumbled through.

"Oh, I'm as high as a kite and the greenhouse is on fire!" Doctor Earnhardt said.

"What kind of place is this?" Alex asked as he looked around.

"Wow. This has got quite a kick. Does anyone want to have a puff before I put it out?" Doctor Earnhardt asked.

"I'm in. Hey, I'll be right with you in a second." Bobby said as he looked around. "This place is like heaven."

"Hey, Will. Can I talk to you for a sec?" Grant asked as Will nodded and walked over to the truck. "Hey, nice job getting Bobby and Alex back. Anything on Riley and Keith?"

"Not sure yet, man. But I've got a CIA contact on the island who's narrowing down their location for me. Once I get that, we find them. Then I take down Vaas and his boss Hoyt, destroy their SAM launchers and I call in a pickup. We'll be back home in Jersey eating Pork Rolls before you know it." Will said as Grant nodded.

"Right. But you're out there by yourself with no backup. I get that you said you went into spy work and can't say anything, but even a soldier needs a squad." Grant told him as Will pat his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Grant. The training I went through has me ready for this. Besides, these are pirates we're dealing with, not the Afghan army. Plus, the jungle plays to my advantage and I have others." Will said as he glanced down at the tattoo. "But I'm fine. Just make sure the other stay safe."

"Right, one other thing." Grant said as he hobbled over to the truck and opened up the military crate Will took from the pirate stash house. Grant opened the crate as they looked at the metal ore. "What the hell is this stuff? Daisy says it's not diamonds or gold."

"I'm not sure to be honest. Some kind of metal ore but valuable enough to keep in high-tech military grade containers. Hopefully, when we get off this island I can figure out what." Will said as they closed the container. "But I'd steer clear of this stuff until we know what it is. It could be slightly radioactive."

"Right. I'll tell the others. Angel and Tabby had a blast counting the gold and jewels you found." Grant said as they saw Tabby was admiring a diamond the size of an apple.

"Well, everything here we're splitting even. We're all going home with a little pocket change." Will said as Grant chuckled. "Keep them safe, Grant. I'll find Riley and Keith."

"Good luck, brother." Grant said as he hugged him, and Will hugged back. "By the way, like the jacket. Not sure if green is your color though."

"Glad to know." Will said as he walked out of the cave and called Huntley. "Willis, do you have anything on Keith or Riley?"

"I zeroed in on your friend Keith Ramsay. A hit man who works for Hoyt purchased him. He's usually at the bar in the shantytown." Huntley told him.

"What's the guy's name?" Will asked.

"Buck." Huntley told him.

"Thanks." Will replied as he ended the call.

Will drove back to the Shantytown and made his way to the bar to see if he could find Buck. He looked around to see a bunch of locals and a white man with an open button up, jeans and beard. Must be Buck.

"Are you Buck?" Will asked.

"Well, it's not my birthday, but you must be Christmas." Buck said as Will picked up his Australian accent.

"I'm looking for my friend, Keith." Will said as Buck got up.

"Nah, sorry doesn't ring a bell." Buck said as he walked over to the bar to get another drink.

"You bought him from Hoyt. I want him back." Will warned him.

"Oh! Him! He said his name was…Mmmmmmmmm!" Buck shouting into hand to make a muffle scream before he laughed. Will lost it as he slapped Buck's beer away, grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the wall.

The commotion caught the attention of everyone in the bar. "OUT!" Will shouted as everyone left. Will squeezed his right hand around Buck's neck and hoisted him off his feet with ease, showing his new found strength. "WHERE IS MY FRIEND?!"

"AH…you must be—Will Detmer." Buck managed to say as his feet dangled off the ground.

"WHERE IS HE?!" Will shouted.

"If you do…me in…you won't find him…" Buck said as he saw Will's eyes glow.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Will said as he read Buck's mind and knew where Keith was. He reached into Buck's front pocket and took out a small key as Buck was shocked he knew it was there. "Guess I don't need you anymore."

Will then threw Buck across the room and he crashed into a table and chairs and was knocked out. Will left the bar and made his way out of town and drove to Buck's hut about half a mile down the road. Will kicked the door in and used the key he took from Buck on the door by the far wall and opened it to see it led downstairs. Will walked down to Keith cowering on an old mattress, the room dimly lit with one hanging light and a camera on the far wall. Will didn't want to even imagine what Keith must have gone through.

"Keith, Jesus Christ." Will said as he slowly walked up and knelt down to him. "Keith, it's me."

He reached out to touch him as Keith recoiled back. "Please, no more. Please I'm begging you. I can't take anymore!" Keith shouted as he cowered a bit. He slowly looked up and Will saw Keith had some fresh brushes on his face. "Will? Will, you gotta get me out of here. I'm begging you, please! You gotta met me out of here, man!"

"Don't worry, Keith. It's over. I'm getting you out of here and to the others." Will assured him that he was now safe.

"Yeah, you promise? You got to promise me." Keith begged.

"Neither one of you blokes are going anywhere." Will turned and saw Buck standing there, a cut on his head and he was holding an AK-47 at them. "You know, you hurt my feeling there, Will. How about I show you what Keith and I have been up to?"

"We're leaving, Buck. And that gun doesn't change anything. Besides…" Will said as Buck pulled the trigger and heard an empty click. "looks like it's not working right."

Will's eyes were lit a dim blue as he used his telekinesis to crush to firing pin in the rifle. "Fine then. I'll do this the old fashion way." Buck said as he unsheathed a K-bar knife. "I can't you bloody if you like. I like my meat rare."

"Come get some." Will glared at him as Buck charged. Will just Spartan kicked him in the chest and he flew back into the wall, destroying the camera. Buck groaned in pain as he got back up and twirled his knife.

"Oh, you got some fight in you. I like that." Buck said as he lunged with the knife, but Will backed away. Buck swung his knife down as Will grabbed and locked with his arm and pushed back, inching Buck's knife against his own throat as Buck did his best to push back but Will overpowered him. Will then headbutted Buck, stabbed him in the heart with his own knife and then kicked his body into the corner.

Will dropped the knife to the ground as he looked at Keith. "Will…you sure he's dead?" Keith asked as Will took out his pistol and shot Buck in the head for good measure.

"Now he is. Everything's going to be ok, Keith. Come with me. The others are waiting for us." Will told him.

Will slowly helped Keith out of Buck's place and burned it to the ground for good measure. They got in the pickup truck and drove back to the Doctor's house.

"Don't worry, man. Grant and the others are all here. You're safe now." Will told him as they stopped.

"Look, just don't tell them about this, ok?" Keith asked.

"I won't." Will replied.

"The world is fucked, man." Keith told him as Will nodded, having been through things that prove Keith's point.

"You have no idea, dude." Will told him.

"I thought I could handle my shit, and I can't." Keith told him.

"I don't think anyone could handle this kind of thing. But we're alive…" Will said as they looked at the others by the fire. "and with time we'll heal. That's all we can hope for."

"I hope you're right, man." Keith told him.

"It's almost over. I'll get Riley and we'll be back in Jersey in no time." Will said as Keith had a somber look on his face.

"Riley's dead. I'm sorry, man. He tried to escape, and they shot him." Keith said.

"Shit." Will said as he rubbed his forehead.

"Keith!" They heard as the others came over and welcomed him back.

"Man, we're glad you're all right." Grant said as he hobbled over on a makeshift crutch. "All that leaves is Riley and we blow this hellhole."

Will and Keith shared a somber looked as they nodded. "Grant…Riley's dead." Will told him.

"What?" Grant asked.

"I saw him. He tried to make a run for it and they shot him." Keith said.

"No. Did you see him die?" Grant asked. "Did you see him!"

Grant shouted as he grabbed Keith by the shirt as Will pulled him back. "No, no. Not my little brother. No, god please!" Grant shouted as he broke down in tears as Daisy comforted him. Everyone was at a loss of the news that Riley was dead. They were all so close to getting back home safe and sound together but not anymore.

"I'm sorry, Grant. I'm so sorry." Keith said as Grant cried out.

"What now?" Angel asked.

"First things first, I'm killing Vaas and Hoyt for what they did to use and every other innocent person they've killed, tortured or sold. Then we're getting the hell off this island." Will told them as he walked to the cave exit.

"Will!" Will stopped as Grant picked his head up, his eyes fill with anger and sadness. "Make sure that son of a bitch suffers."

"He will." Will said as he pulled up his hood and facemask. "Time for him to know who the fuck he messed with."

Will stepped out of the cave and called Huntley. "Huntley. Where's Vaas?" Will asked.

"I'm not sure. He's on the move." Huntley told him.

"I need to know where he is. It's time the end the bastard." Will said. "He killed one of my friends."

Huntley didn't immediately respond as Will figured he was probably trying to figure out something for Will to do. "Sorry about your friend. I don't have anything on Vaas's location yet but I'm working on it. In the meantime, this might interest you if you want to shove a middle finger in Vaas's eye." Huntley told him.

"What is it?" Will asked.

"I've gotten chatter that Vaas has moved more than half of his forces into an old mine system that was here back when the Island was taken over by the Chinese. They've been moving heavy gear, and explosives. My guess is he's looking for something and it's something important. If you find out what it is and take it from him, it'll be a nice final fuck you before it ends." Huntley said as Will liked the idea.

"I'm on it. Send me the coordinates." Will said as Huntley sent them to the phone as Will made his way there. After a drive, he came to an old mine hut overlooking a giant ravine. Will grabbed his quiver and loaded it fresh with arrows and loaded his pistol. He walked over to the ravine and saw a natural sinkhole with a large groundwater pool at the bottom, but he also saw a small alcove that seemed to lead somewhere. Will jumped off the ledge and fell to the water but used his telekinesis to slow his descent. Will hovered above the water and slowly levitated over to the alcove and landed on the ground.

Will moved through the small above ground area, looking for anything to give him a sign that Vaas and his pirates were here when he saw a large stone door. Will looked and saw the large stone door had an old carving of a dragon and a giant rock…like the one from the Rakyat temple. Will walked up and touched the door and something seemed to draw him in so he used his telekinesis to open it. The door opened to reveal a narrow pathway into the island.

"Where the hell is this going?" Will asked himself as he decided to follow the path. He walked down the path and jumped down to an old level to see he was in some kind of old structure, probably ruins.

Will continued down the path and it seemed like he was in some kind of ancient temple or castle. He slowly moved his way through the area, not wanting to step onto a loose brick or rope that would cause the entire structure to fall on his head. He could stop rockets and explosions, but a cave-in was a different thing and he didn't want a field test to see if he could survive it. He heard some chatter nearby and saw a light source coming a ladder that led down.

Will slowly made his way over and peaked down the ladder to see one of Vaas's pirates. Will unsheathed the machete and dropped down onto the pirate, killing him with a stab to the back of the neck. He peaked out behind a wall and saw two of Vaas's pirates standing by some crates, smoking a cigarette. Will slowly walked up behind them and had his machete and knife ready as he stabbed them both in the back and they slumped over dead. Will saw another pirate in heavy gear, so he threw the knife and nailed the pirate in the head, killing him.

Will moved through the ruins and pulled out his pistol, killing four more pirates with silenced headshots. Will looked and saw that the pirates had set up camp in the ruins with food, equipment, and weapons. Whatever they were looking for, Vaas wanted it. He moved forward and saw a zipline that seemed to go further down through the cavern. Will took the zipline down and saw several wooden platforms with more of Vaas's pirates. Will dropped down onto a walkway as the pirates saw him arrive. The pirates fired at him as Will froze the bullets in midair and shot them back. More pirates came out as Will took an AK-47 and fired back, killing some of them. Will jumped down onto platform below him and shot at the pirates.

He kept firing until the gun ran dry and saw all the pirates were coming from a passage further down. Will took out his bow and shot three more arrows in rapid succession, killing three more pirates. He then jumped the ravine and landed by the passage before shooting 4 more arrows and killing the last of the pirates. Will followed the passage and killed two more pirates. He saw more scaffolds set up and wooden platforms that were above boiling water.

"What the hell?" Will said out loud as he jumped from platform to platform to avoid the burning water. More pirates showed up as Will took out his pistol and shot them dead. He loaded a new clip into his pistol and kept making his way through the hot water area. Pressure pockets of hot water sprouted out in small geyser like ways as Will then jumped from rock to rock to avoid being burned.

Will killed 7 more pirates with his pistol and kept moving through the area, wondering where the hell this was leading. He cleared a 20-foot jump and then jumped onto a higher ridge where he killed four more pirates and kept moving. He kept moving along the ridge as the ruins suggested he was nearing someplace important and saw another closed door like the one from the entrance. He slowly walked over and noticed a weird circular indent in the center with three other circle locks. A key was needed for this. Without a key, Will used his telekinesis to turn the inner most circle about 90 degrees to the right until it stopped. Then second ring turned around followed by the third until all of them locked into position and the door opened.

"Who needs a key when you have super powers." Will said to himself as he walked through the door to see old skeletons. He walked around a cave in and got on top of a boulder to a giant old Chinese style temple in the center of the boiling. "Jesus, this place must have been here for centuries."

The bridges were destroyed so Will just jumped the gap and landed in front of the temple. He looked at the walls and saw ancient murals and wall paintings about some kind of ancient warrior or king, but the weird part was that Will saw a large blue stone was drawn there as well. He walked up the stairs of the temple and was greeted to the sight of a large stone statue of the king and the same circle lock from the door. Will unlocked it and the statue moved back to reveal a set of stairs going down. Will took the stairs and was on his way to some kind of burial chamber. There were a few Komodo dragons but they didn't seem to bother Will so he kept moving. As he went further down, he saw a weird glow of blue in the distance.

Will made it to the last floor and saw an ancient sarcophagus of the king and right behind it was a glowing blue meteor. The same one that gave him his powers that night only a lot bigger. The one that gave him his powers was the size of a car tire, this one was the size of his motorcycle. But it had the same crystalline structure as the other and was even glowing the same blue hue like when he got his powers.

"So, there wasn't just one." Will was shocked to see another meteor like the one that gave him his powers on the island but this one had to have been here for centuries. Will reached his hand out to touch it and his danger sense hadn't kicked in which was a good sign. He touched the meteor and it felt cool to touch like before. But no rapid pulsating or whoosh of air, nothing happened.

"What is your story?" Will asked himself as he stepped away from the meteor. He was about to walk over to the sarcophagus but something in his head told him not to leave it there. Will looked at the meteor and began to think of what he could do. Will reached out his hand and attempted to levitate the rock and he was able to. Guess all the training with his powers made it easier. Will then noted that while he could move it, taking it with him was the issue. A giant meteor would draw attention.

Will then looked down and saw a pebble by his foot when he got an idea, compress it into a ball. Will reached out both his hands and began concentrating, making a squeeze motion as the meteor began to crumble and crack. Will concentrated as hard as he could to compress the meteor within itself as some of the sides began to shrink and compress inward. The pieces that couldn't take the pressure chipped off and fell to the floor as Will concentrated and the meteor began to shrink. Will kept concentrating as the meteor began to compress inward and get smaller and smaller. Will's nose began to bleed a bit as this was an enormous mental strain but he kept going. More of the meteor chipped off as it got smaller. Will finally stopped as he dropped to his knees in exhaustion. He wiped his nose free of blood and felt a bad headache wrack his brain and he quickly shook his head to try and refocus. He managed to get back to his feet and saw that he compressed the meteor from its original motorcycle size to about the size of a silver dollar coin.

Will walked over and picked it up, noting that it was a bit heavier than before, probably due to the compression but not too heavy that it was an inconvenience or cumbersome. Will put the small meteor in his pocket and walked over to the sarcophagus. He pushed the giant stone cover off and saw the remains of whoever was buried along with the dagger he saw in his vision. Will picked it up as a gem in the dagger glowed blue like the meteor and Citra's bracelet did before. Will's arm began burning again as his tattoos glowed once more and began expanding. Will's eyes glowed blue as he was given another vision, this one different from the rest.

Will found himself standing in a dark empty place, there wasn't a light source in sight as he wondered where the hell he was. His left arm began glowing as Will saw his tattoos were lit up like a Christmas tree and the weird thing was that the symbols and drawings on the tattoo were moving, like they were alive. They then floated off his arm and moved around him as the images began to morph into people. The dark empty void then turned into the cave where Will had his first series of visions and this time they weren't about him. Will watched as he saw what looked like 4 blue skinned men, larger than normal humans with armor and weapons. They were the blue people Citra spoke about. They had blue skin and purple eyes and looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. Will didn't need to be a genius to know they were aliens. He watched the visions play out as they were of the aliens capturing humans, most likely native inhabitants of the island and taking them away. Then one man ventured deep into the island where Will was now and found the meteor. It must have been buried here for millennia. He touched it and it zapped him with the same energy that gave Will his powers. Will watched as he saw that man get powers like he did but his powers were different. While Will had telekinesis, this man seemed to be able to control the ground. But it didn't stop there. He watched the man perform some kind of weird mystical, blood, voodoo ritual thing as he began carving symbols on his left arm, the same symbols that was on his tattoo. He carved the symbols using dust and rubble from the meteor and turned it into some kind of ink. Will could barely hear what the man said in the ritual but he did hear parts. He heard something about asking for power and only the worthy blood successor shall inherit the true power of the Tatau.

He watched as his tattoos flickered and glow the same color as the meteor. The man then tore a chunk of the meteor off and used that along with some stone to fashion the very blade he just touched. The man stood up and held the knife as his body seemed to be pushed to its physical best. Will then watched as the Tatau seemed to make him fight stronger and move faster than before. A lot like him when he fought those pirates by the drug field he burned. Maybe the tattoo was the reason for all of this and it enhanced his body with some kind of magic. Or maybe it had to do with the meteor. I mean, Dennis and the other Rakyat had the tattoos but they didn't seem to be any different from a normal human. Maybe it's because he's different then they are, both genetically and having super powers. Maybe his alien blood reacted to something in the tattoo ink and once it touched the other stones, it unlocked the true power of the Tatau.

The man fought against the blue aliens, using the knife and his control over the ground to kill them all. He then used his powers to expand the land of the island to the size it is now and formed the Rakyat. The warrior then watched over his island and protected it from pirates and any would-be invaders. Near his death, the warrior left the blade to the Rakyat and retreated to the ancient cave where the meteor was and used his powers to cause a cave in. He entombed himself to keep watch over the meteor and to make sure no one else could use its power.

Will's vision ended as he saw his tattoo had spread up all the way to his wrist and looked like the one from his vision. He also saw he was holding the knife the ancient warrior used. The Chinese must have invaded the island centuries later and stumbled upon the meteor. Maybe the king of this tomb thought of it as some kind of sign or omen about his rule and buried himself with it. But before Will could think of anymore questions, the walls began to crumble and the ornamental dragon statues around the room spewed fired.

"Oh, shit!" Will shouted as he ran the other way and saw part of the far wall crumble away to reveal an open passage with a light at the end. He threw out his hand, sending a massive force wave that made the opening large enough for him to slide through. He slid through just in time to avoid being squished and began crawling to his exit as the ceiling began to cave in. Will used his powers to try and keep the ceiling up so he could pass and made it out just in time to avoid being squished.

"Jesus Christ." Will plopped on the ground and took a moment to catch his breath, having nearly survived being squished. He looked at the blade in his right hand and saw the small meteor gem in the handle. Magic and another meteor that grants powers is a little crazy to be honest but his life got crazy ever since that night back in Jersey.

Will decided to head back to the temple and give Citra the knife and keep her and the Rakyat off his back. To be honest, the way Citra spoke and looked at him put him off ease. He'd been through his fair share of relationships and see Keith, Bobby, and Riley piss off enough women to know crazy when it's there. Will made his way back to his truck and drove back to the temple as the Rakyat let him into the inner courtyard. He walked in when Dennis saw him arrive.

"Welcome back, William. I had nearly forgotten your face. I am glad to see you alive and well. Nice jacket." Dennis said as Will adjusted the sleeve a bit. "The knife, is it in your hands?"

Will reached behind him and pulled out the knife. "You return to us bearing that which has been lost." Citra said as she and her two guards walked up to him. Will then held out the dagger to her and she took it. "That blade that was stolen from us and spilled the blood of our ancestors. It has been conquered and the dead have been avenged."

"I returned your artifact. Consider us even." Will said as he looked at Dennis.

"There is but one more step." Citra was about to continue but Will held up his hand and she stopped talking.

"Forget it. I'm done with this. I returned your blade to make us even and give a big middle finger to Vaas and Hoyt. I'm not joining whatever this is and I'm not your prophesied warrior or messiah." Will said as he turned to leave.

"William, you cannot reject Citra's aid. She will give you the power to fight Vaas and gain the true power of the Tatau." Dennis told him as Will held up his arm and moved his jacket sleeve to show the complete Tatau.

"I think I have all the power I need. And to be honest, this whole Rakyat thing is a little too cultish for my tastes. Keep the knife as a thank you for what you've done for me and my friends, but I'm done. I'll kill Vaas and Hoyt on my own." Will said as he walked away.

"Do not stray from the warrior's path, William. You will return to us soon enough." Citra told him as Will looked back.

"I wouldn't count on it." Will told them as he left.

Will walked out of the temple as his sat phone went off and saw it was from a blocked number, most likely Huntley.

"Hello?" Will answered.

"Will, its Huntley. I managed to get a location on Vaas but you're not going to like it. He's back at his private fortress on the north eastern part of the island. There's no getting to him." Huntley told him.

"I wouldn't so sure about that. Does he have a helicopter?" Will asked.

"Not according to my intel. What are you planning?" Huntley asked.

"I'm about to make your job a lot easier, Huntley. I'm taking down Vaas now." Will said as he hung up and drove to the north-east part of the island. Will stopped at the top of a cliff, grabbed his quiver and bow, loaded it with as many arrows at it could handle and got ready for a fight. He stopped at the top of the cliff and used his binoculars to see that Vaas's pirates controlled the small little canal/road that was the main way onto the island. If will wanted to stop Vaas and make sure he didn't get away, he'd have to be stealthy.

"I'm coming for you, Vaas." Will jumped off the cliff and dove into the water below. He held his breath and swam to the island which was easily 2 kilometers away but he was able to hold his breath longer and swim faster than he normally could. He was like a freaking fish in the water and he guessed it was the Tatau that was making him superhuman. Eventually, Will resurfaced about halfway there to take another breath before going back under and swimming the rest of the way. Will slowed down as he reached the island because he saw one of Vaas's pirates by the small dock, dumping bodies into the water. Will slowly swam up to the dock, grabbed the pirate and dragged him into the water and stabbed him in the neck with his machete.

Will got out of the water and checked his weapons to make sure the water didn't do any damage and that they were ready for when he needed them. Will moved along the path from the dock to the fortress to find Vaas. His hood and face mask were up as he was in full SHIELD Agent mindset, ready for his mission and to complete his objective. In this case, take down Vaas. Will moved through the path and hugged the brush and jungle as he heard two of Vaas's pirates torment a woman, probably about to have their way with her. Will slowly made his way behind them and took them down with a machete to the neck.

"Stay hidden. Don't worry, it's over." Will told her as she nodded and hugged a rock. Will moved slow through the jungle and saw the fence/border of Vaas's fortress. He saw three pirates by the fence perimeter having a smoke and a sniper in a tower.

Will fired an arrow and killed the sniper in the tower quickly and quietly. Will then fire three more arrows and killed the pirates by the fence. No alarm or shouting could be heard so Will slowly made his way over to the perimeter and jumped the fence. He quietly moved around to the side of a warehouse and killed a pirate with a knife to the neck and hid his body in an empty crate. Will walked up the stairs of the warehouse and saw Vaas's pirates out in the main courtyard relaxing with women and booze to keep them company. He pulled open the door to the warehouse and walked in, his silenced pistol out and ready as he saw the room was decorated with a lot of TVs, monitors and with writing reminiscent of John Doe from Seven. Will slowly walked through the room when the door behind him shut and the monitors turned on, to reveal Vaas looking at him.

"Surprise mother fucker! You didn't think I knew you were coming, right? I am so disappointed! But you know what, I can't blame you. I mean, you must be crazy." The message played as Vaas looked right at him. All the doors in the warehouse slammed shut and Will looked through a window to see a whole army of Vaas's men outside with guns, ready to kill him.

"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity it? Insanity…is…doing the exact same fucking thing over and over again, expecting shit to change. That is crazy. But the first time somebody told me that, I don't know I thought they were bullshitting me so, boom, I shot him. The thing is, ok…the thing is he was right. And then I started to see it everywhere I looked. Everywhere I looked, all these fucking pricks, everywhere I looked, doing the exact same fucking thing, over and over and over and over and over again thinking, this time is going to be different. No, no, please. This time is going to be different." Vaas said as Will looked at the monitors. "This time isn't going to be different."

"You're wrong about that." Will said as his eyes flickered blue and he threw out a massive force wave to the window. His telekinesis destroyed the entire wall and knocked all of Vaas's men away. Will jumped into the courtyard as an alarm went off and more men came out with guns from Vaas's main building. Vaas began to monologue through the loud speakers as his men tried to kill Will but Will used his enhanced speed and agility to avoid their bullets.

He ran through the courtyard, unslung his bow and fired arrows at the pirates, killing 5 of them before he jumped onto the second floor of an adjacent building. Will fired an explosive arrow at a gasoline barrel and caused a big explosion that killed three pirates and destroyed a machine gun turret. Will ran along the roof, shooting more arrows and killing more of Vaas's pirates when he jumped off the roof and landed on a pirate, stabbing him in the neck with an arrow before shooting it at another pirate who tried to shoot him from behind. Will turned and smacked a pirate in the face, before kicking out his leg, throwing him over his shoulder and breaking his neck with a foot to the face. Will fired 7 more arrows in rapid succession and killed the last of Vaas's pirates that tried to rush him. There were no more pirates to deal with but Vaas's monologue was starting to get on his nerves so Will fired an explosive arrow at the main junction box, killing the power.

Will walked into the main building and saw it was decorated exactly like he would imagine a psychopath like Vaas would decorate it. He walked through the building and turned the corner when he ducked to avoid a machete to the chest. Will then backed away to avoid a slash to the face as Vaas pulled out another machete.

"Come on, Jersey shore. Let me show you how the jungle eats you alive." Vaas said as he lunged and tried to slash at Will but Will blocked and used the bow to counter the blades. Will blocked and knocked one of the machetes away as Vaas swung with the other but Will blocked it as well and smacked him in the face with the bow. Will blocked and locked his machete arm as Will grappled him to the ground. Vaas kneed Will in the back and knocked him off as Will rolled back to his feet. Vaas pulled a knife from his boot and threw it at him but Will deflected it with his bow. Vaas charged forward against, swinging his machete as Will managed to block all of them but the last heavy horizontal swing broke the bow in half. Will grabbed the broken halves of the bow and quickly looped them around Vaas's arm, trapping it in the bowstring. Will then spun and threw him into the wall, the force of the Will's throw was enough to break his arm.

Will grabbed a machete and walked up to Vaas who reached into his belt and pulled a gun but Will sliced his hand off and then stabbed him in the chest. Vaas's eyes widened as he grabbed Will's arm but his enhanced strength easily overpowered Vaas. Will drove the machete deeper into Vaas's chest and grabbed his face, so he was looking at him.

"This is for Riley…and the rest of my friends you son of a bitch." Will seethed in anger as he pushed the machete deeper. Vaas chuckled as blood dripped from his mouth.

"You stupid motherfucker." Vaas had a demented look on his face. Will did a quick mind reading of Vaas before he died and he knew what Vaas meant: Riley was alive and Hoyt had him on his island. Will dropped Vaas's body to the ground and put a bullet in his head to make sure he was dead. When he was satisfied, Will blew up the entire compound and fortress and dealt with any remaining reinforcements of the pirates that tried to kill him and then destroyed the SAM launcher.

He then drove all the way back to Dr. Earnhardt's house to tell everyone; especially Grant that Riley was still alive. They weren't leaving the island without him. Will finally made it back to the small alcove and saw his friends around a fire, keeping warm and eating some food. Daisy was still comforting Grant over the loss of his brother when she saw him enter the cave.

"Will." Daisy said as everyone turned to see him walk back in. "You're back."

"Yeah, Vaas is dead." Will told them.

"Good riddance." Grant said as he looked at their campfire.

"I just have to deal with Hoyt and we're on our way home but I already learned something new. Grant, Riley's alive." Will told him as Grant looked at Will. "I found Vaas's compound and Riley wasn't killed. Yes, he was shot but he's alive. Hoyt has him on the southern island."

"He's alive?" Grant asked as he got up.

"He is. I'm going over their now to get him. Once I get him, I take care of Hoyt and then we're going home." Will told them as they were all excited to be leaving. "Don't worry, Grant. I'll make sure Riley's safe."

"Be careful, Will." Daisy told him as Will nodded. Will left the cave and sent a quick message to Barton that one of the SAM Launchers was already down. He'd give him another call when the second one was taken care of.

Will got into a pickup truck and made a final call to Agent Huntley to see if there was any information he had on Hoyt's island and how to get there. "Mr. Detmer, if would seem your reputation doesn't do you justice. I heard you took down Vaas. To be honest, I didn't think it could be done. That place was like a fortress." Huntley told him.

"Nothing's impossible. That fortress became his grave. Now it's time for me to end this and take down Hoyt." Will said to him.

"I'd say it can't be done but you've proven to be really good at accomplishing impossible tasks. I had an agent over there once that might be able to help you. He's still alive. I think." Huntley said.

"Can you help me get there?" Will asked.

"I'm flying over Hoyt's island on my way out of here. This Russian operation's blown wide open. I'm joining Task Force 141 flying out tonight. If you want a ride, I'll send you the coordinates." Huntley told him.

"Perfect, I'll be there." Will told him.

"Plane's leaving in a few minutes, with or without you." Huntley told him as Will got the coordinates on his phone. Will drove to the coordinates which were somewhere in the middle of the island up near the mountains. Will drove as fast as he could through the island and was getting close. He was almost there when he got a call from Huntley.

"Will, it's the Alamo. Vaas's leftovers have surrounded me. Come quickly!" Huntley said as Will sped up. He arrived at the location to see if must have been Huntley's safe house with a small single engine plane by a shack. Willis was behind some cover, shooting at some of Vaas's pirates. Without Vaas, he guessed they were just doing whatever they wanted. Will sped up and drove at a group of pirates. He bailed at the last second as the truck ran over three pirates before it swerved and crashed into a tree.

Will got back to his feet, pulled out his pistol and killed two pirates with headshots. Will jumped over some cover and kicked a pirate into one of the shacks. Will shot him in the head and then quickly took down the last four pirates and loaded a fresh clip into his pistol.

"Nice timing." Huntley said as he loaded a new clip into his MP5. "Those pinkos took the wind out of her sail. I need to fix this."

Huntley got to work on fixing the airplane while Will would provide cover. Will stood behind a .50 Caliber machine gun and a large box of ammo and weapons to watch the tree line. More jeeps began showing up as Will mowed them down with the .50 caliber machine gun. Some began to flank so Will took out his pistol and shot them down with precise headshots. Will kept firing and firing until he ran out of ammo and had destroyed 5 pirate jeeps and killed over 20 pirates.

"Will, get in." Huntley said as he walked over to the pilot seat.

"You're flying this to Russia?" Will asked.

"What, no you kidding? I'm upgrading in Singapore. You know it's illegal to buy or chew gum anywhere in Singapore? Gum is one of the great American past times. Those rice pickers are basically declaring war on Uncle Sam." Huntley told him.

"Right." Will said as he got into the passenger seat and saw a wingsuit.

"Take it. It's yours. It's how you're getting to the island." Huntley said as Will put on the wingsuit and zipped it up. "By the way, my man Sam is embedded with Hoyt's troops. If you whistle The Star Spangled Banner in Thurston at the Crazy Cock bar, he'll know I sent you.

Huntley started the plane and did his pre-flight check. "I gave my whole life to the Agency. I made my share of mistakes, but it's about to pay off. Yes sir, I'm almost out of the jungle. Ha! Wahoo!" Huntley shouted as he flew the plane off the hill and off the island. Huntley climbed up high as he made his way south. He flew high enough to gain speed but not high enough to be detected by Hoyt's SAM launcher. They flew for about 10 minutes when Huntley nodded to him so Will opened the passenger side door.

"This is your stop! Fly, Detmer! Fly!" Huntley shouted as Will nodded.

"Good luck with Russia! It's been an honor!" Will shouted as Huntley nodded back.

"I'm proud to serve my country! Say hello to Hoyt for me! Knock him dead, kid!" Huntley shouted.

"I will! WHOOO!" Will shouted as he jumped from the plane and skydived to the island. Will extended his arms and the flaps in the wingsuit let him glide through the air. Will steered himself to land by the beach and pulled the parachute cord but the chute didn't deploy. "SHIT!'

Will was getting closer and closer to the ground and his parachute was done for so he needed to do something before he hit the ground. Maybe he could use his powers to slow his descent and stop before he hit the ground. He did it before. Will closed his eyes and concentrated as the blue energy of his telekinesis covered his entire body. Will kept falling closer and closer to the ground until he stopped about 2 feet from the ground. Will opened his eyes to see himself hovering just above the beach. Will focused and floated around a bit, then flying up and down and all around to get used to flying. Guess telekinesis is also good for flying. Good to know for future notice.

Will landed on the ground and hotwired a truck by the beach. He drove to the town Huntley told him and looked for the Crazy Cock Bar and to his shock it was real. He walked in and bought a beer at the bar. "I'm looking for information on someone as well, a privateer by the name of Sam." Will said as he gave he gave the bartender 300 dollars for the information. The bartender looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation.

"I only know one Sam. There's a regular poker game in the back. Hoyt's privateers mostly. You might wanna think about getting yourself invited." He said as Will nodded.

"Right." Will said as he finished his beer and gave the bartender and extra hundred for the information. Will walked around back and saw one of Hoyt's privateers standing by the door.

"Where you going?" he stopped Will before he could go in.

"To play poker." Will told him.

"Don't even think about joining unless you can afford the buy in." He said as Will decided to test his telepathy ability and see if he could make the man step aside. Will concentrated and entered the man's conscious mind. Will's eyes glowed blue as the privateer's eyes also glowed blue.

"I've already paid the buy in." Will told him.

"You've already paid the buy in." He responded in a drone like tone, completely under the control of Will.

"You'll let me in." Will told him.

"I'll let you in." He replied as he opened the door.

"These are not the droids you are looking for." Will joked.

"These are not the droids I am looking for." He replied as Will chuckled. Will walked into the door, had the privateer shut the door behind him and ended his mind control. The privateer shook his head free of the headache and got back to drinking his beer, completely unaware of what just happened. Will walked down the stairs and saw three of Hoyt's men at a poker table.

"Willkomen to the game, fresh blood. Have a seat." The German privateer spoke as Will sat down.

Will sat down and they played a bit of poker. He would have drawn suspicion if he didn't play for a little bit. After about the 6th hand, Will began whistled the Star Spangled Banner and watching to see who would react.

"This hand bores me. I'm cashing out." The German man with the tattoos all over his body grabbed his chips and stood up.

"Already?" his friend asked.

"You'd like me to continue playing, Karl? Should we raise the stakes?" The man shouted.

"Relax, Sam." His friend replied.

"Good." Sam got up and left with his chips.

"I'm done too." Will said as he took his chips and left. Will walked out of the back exit and turned down the alley when Sam came up and pointed a pistol at his face.

"Who do you work for?" Sam asked.

"Willis Huntley sent me." Will told him as Sam holstered his gun.

"How is he? I have been concerned about him. Hearing nothing all these years." Sam said.

"He's fine." Will told him.

"Los! Los!" Sam said as he motioned Will to follow him away from the bar and to his house. Sam then took out a key and began unlocking a tripled locked door. "Being around all these criminals, it is too much. It is so easy to fool them. Everybody thinks I am a bad guy because I come from Germany. I was promoted because of my accent."

Sam opened the door and let Will into his safe room. "Now, come. Sit. Tell me, what is the mission?" Sam asked.

"Vaas took one of my friends and sent him here. I'm here to get him back…and then kill Hoyt." Will told him.

"ScheiBe." (Shit) Sam said as he looked at Will. "Wait, you are Will Detmer, ja? You finished off Vaas and most of his pirates."

"I did." Will replied.

"Why didn't you tell me? We must hide you. Hoyt will blow you into a thousand Stucke." Sam told him.

"He's welcome to try. A lot of people have already tried. Besides, I just need to get my friend and make sure he's safe. I've called in for backup and we have 10 commando squads of highly trained men ready to storm the islands and take out all of Hoyt's privateers the second the SAM Launcher and radar jammer are done for." Will told him.

"This will not be easy. You have become a victim of your own success, ja? The natives attack Hoyt now. He has put up defenses. We must be careful or this will end with us both dead." Sam said as Will stood up.

"It's easy. Can you get a chopper?" Will asked as Sam was confused.

"Ja, shouldn't be a problem. Might take a bit but not impossible." Sam said.

"Ok, then I have a plan. I kill of one Hoyt's privateers and use his clothes to sneak into Hoyt's compound. I find where Hoyt is keeping my friend and I break him out. I kill Hoyt and you come pick us up in the helicopter. Then we take down the SAM launcher and radar jammer, call in reinforcements and I'll buy us a round when we get the hell off these islands." Will told him.

Sam looked at him like he was crazy. "While I appreciate your confidence, your plan is suicidal. You'll never make it into Hoyt's camp and even if you do by some miracle find your friend, Hoyt has an entire army at his command." Sam told him but Will was dead serious.

"Trust me, I can handle an army. Just get me that chopper." Will told him as Sam.

"Very well. Here, an earpiece so we can stay in contact." Sam told him as Will put it in his ear. "There's a fresh batch of recruits by the docks to the east. Kill one of them and take his uniform. Make sure no one finds his body. I'll see if I can get that chopper. Best of luck my friend."

"I make my own luck." Will said as he left and proceeded to the eastern part of the island to get that uniform.

Will slowly watched and saw a bunch of recruits get processed by some of Hoyt's veterans. All of their uniforms had electronic ID tags so they could be registered and Hoyt could keep track of who was in his organization. A smart plan. Will waited until he saw one of the new recruits pass the scanning and walk away. Will followed the privateer as he walked over to the side for a smoke so Will got up behind and put him in a chokehold. The privateer struggled but Will didn't let up and choked the man out. He then dragged the man away and took his privateer outfit which also included a facemask and helmet. Will then dragged the guy's body away to a small cave by the beach. He used his telekinesis to dig a small hole and bury him in the sand so no one would find him.

Will took the privateers weapons and loaded them. They were a Glock 22 pistol and a P416 assault rifle. He also had some grenades and a stick of C4. They would come in handy later. Will made his way to Hoyt's main compound where a lot of the business was conducted. Will took one of the jeeps and drove to the main compound to search for Riley. Will stopped before he hit the main gate and parked on the side of the road when he noticed a container in the back. He opened it to see it was loaded with C4 explosives along with a detonator which gave him an idea. He took 8 C4 sticks out and stuffed them in his jacket, pants and pockets. He armed one C4 charged and attached it to the underside of the jeep and pocketed the detonator.

Will walked up to the gate of Hoyt's compound and saw two guards by the checkpoint. He did a quick read of their minds and they were only allowed to let privateers enter who Hoyt personally authorized. Hoyt was a monster but he was a smart one. Will then concentrated and used his new telepathic mind trick to get them to let him through. Will walked up to the pirates and they went stiff like drones. As Will walked passed them, he threw a stick of C4 underneath their jeep for a surprise. He then walked through Hoyt's main compound and did his best to blend in. He made his way to the main building, sticking more C4 charges in hidden places for insurance if something went wrong. He stopped at a crate to tie his boot but that was just a ruse so he could have a moment to stretch out his telepathy and scan for Riley. Will sorted through all the thoughts when he heard a privateer say something about the prisoner Vaas shipped over. The prisoner was in the cells in the basement. It has to be where Riley is.

Will made his way into the main building, using his telekinesis to stealthy move his last C4 charge into a crack in a support pillar. Will walked through the compound when he saw some of the privateers watching the camera footage Tabby recorded during their sky dive and island adventure before they were captured. Will clenched his fist in anger as he heard the privateers laugh but he didn't react. Will kept moving and found a set of stairs that went down. Will walked down the stairs to the basement and saw one privateer on guard duty so Will walked up behind him and put him in a sleeper hold. Will held tight as the guard struggled to break free but after a few minutes, his arms went slack. Will moved his body into an empty closet, took the guards key along with his assault rifle and pistol. He then moved to the farthest door and unlocked it to see Riley slumped on a chair, bruises and cuts on his face, and a bullet hole in his left shoulder.

"Riley." Will whispered as he lowered his face mask. Riley looked up and saw Will there dressed as one of Hoyt's privateers.

"Will, what the hell are you doing here?" Riley asked.

"I'm here to get you out." Will said as Riley shot up and hugged him as Will hugged back. "Man, I thought you were dead."

"Me too, man. That Mohawk psycho sent me here to be sold. Man, am I glad to see you." Riley told him. "Where's Grant?"

"He's alive. He's with the others. I came to get you." Will told him as he touched his earpiece. "Sam, how are we doing on the chopper?"

"I've almost got it, my friend. I'll be there in 10 minutes." Sam told him.

"Right. Tell me when you get close." Will told him as he handed the spare assault rifle to Riley. "Time to kick some ass, Riley."

"Dude, I've never shot a gun before." Riley told him as Will calmed him down.

"Think of if just like a video game. Point and shoot. Don't give these bastards any mercy, all right? They're all gonna burn in hell. We're getting out of here, man." Will said as he touched his forehead to Riley's.

"Thanks for coming for me, Will." Riley told him as Will smiled and pat his arm.

"Anything for family." Will told him as the alarm went off and the door to the cell shut closed.

"A very touching reunion, Mr. Detmer, although it would appear to be in vain. Did you really think I didn't see that little reunion you had with your little friend? And did you not expect me to think that you would come for me after you little escapade with Vaas? You disappoint me, Mr. Detmer. All these rumors and tales I've heard and yet you've fallen for the oldest trick in the book. And now, I have you right where I want you." He heard Hoyt taunt him over the intercom system. Will heard movement in the hallway and saw about 15 of Hoyt's privateers standing out there with their guns pointed at the cell. "Now, you're left with two choices. Choice 1, you try and go out guns blazing in which I kill you and your little friend and then have my men go over to the other island and recapture my stolen product. Option 2, you surrender, in which I torture you until you give me the location of your friends. And then I sell you. So, which one will it be?"

Will looked at Riley and winked at him before looking at the camera in the cell. "How about option 3, dickhead? I kill you, destroy your entire operation and my friends and I go home." Will said as he pressed the detonator in his pocket as a huge explosion shook the compound and more could be heard outside as well. Will unclipped a grenade and tossed it outside into the hall which then exploded, killing a bunch of his mercenaries. Will kicked the cell door off its hinges and due to his enhanced strength it flew across the room and smashed into the wall. Will then unloaded his assault rifle at the remaining mercs, killing them.

Will loaded a new clip into the rifle as Riley stepped out behind him. "Riley, come on." Will told him as Riley nodded and followed. Will shot three mercenaries at the top of the stairs and killed a few more of them as they moved through the compound. His C4 charged had caused part of the second floor to collapse in front of the entrance so they had to figure out another way out. More mercenaries showed up as Will and Riley killed them all. They were heading to the back exit when Will saw Hoyt running for the exit with three mercenaries at his side. Will fired the rest of his rifle clip and killed two of them, then tossed it aside as he charged at Hoyt.

The third mercenary raised his rifle but Will grabbed it, did a throat strike and then killed him with a knife to the throat. Will quickly ducked and backed away to avoid a knife from Hoyt. He blocked Hoyt's knife stab to the stomach and punched him in the face. He then ducked to avoid a slash to the throat and grabbed Hoyt's arm to stop a downward stab. "You really think this is the end, kid? I have powerful friends who will hunt you down and make sure there is nothing left of you." Hoyt taunted him as Will head-butted Hoyt, broke his arm and kicked out his left knee.

"Then I'll kill them too." Will said as Hoyt tried to stab him, but Will grabbed his hand, broke it, and stabbed him in the side with his own knife. Will kneed Hoyt in the gut before punching him across the face and throwing him against a window. Will took one of his grenades and put it in Hoyt's jacket pocket. "This is for my friends! Say hello to Vass for me!"

Will pulled the pin on the grenade and kicked Hoyt out the window. Hoyt landed on a jeep as he frantically tried to get the grenade out of his pocket but was too late as it exploded. The explosion also destroyed the jeep and killed Hoyt. The man who had ruined so many lives was finally dead.

"Yeah, motherfucker!" Riley shouted, beyond happy to see Hoyt dead.

"Come on, Riley. We've got a chopper incoming." Will told him as they ran outside to see the aftermath of Will's C4 insurance plan. Some vehicles and buildings were destroyed and it caused pandemonium among the privateers. Will killed two more privateers with his pistol as he grabbed Riley and put him behind some cover behind a .50 caliber machine gun turret and weapons crate. The remaining privateers began converging on their location as they had also called for backup.

"Where the hell is the helicopter?!" Riley shouted as Will threw another grenade over the cover, killing some privateers.

"It's on the way! Just keep shooting!" Will shouted as Riley peaked out behind cover and fired his gun blindly at the privateers. Will got on the turret and began mowing privateers down left and right but more kept coming. More jeeps showed up as the pirates kept shooting at them but Will raised a barrier around them so Riley was safe. Will kept shooting until the turret needed a new ammo box so he grabbed one from the weapons crate when he saw an RPG with a bag full of rockets and a Milkor 40mm Grenade Launcher. "Riley, get on the turret!"

Will fitted a new ammo box and chambered the belt as Riley got behind it. "Just like Call of Duty! Don't stop shooting!" Will shouted as Riley unloaded hell on the privateers. Will grabbed the grenade launcher and unleashed a volley of grenades, wiping out all of the jeeps and some of the cover the pirates were using. Will reloaded the grenade launcher and touched his earpiece. "Sam, where are you?!"

"I'm near Hoyt's compound. I'm seeing a lot of smoke and fire." Sam told him.

"Land by the western gate. We'll meet you there!" Will told him as he finished loading the grenade launcher. "Riley, come on!"

Will handed Riley the RPG and bag of rockets as they ran from the cover and to the west gate. The privateers that were still alive shot at them as they ran. Will fired a few more rounds into the compound and killed a few more privateers as he and Riley ran out the gate and saw a helicopter with a mounted machine gun land in front of them. Riley and Will got in as Sam took off.

"I'm glad to see you alive, my friend. What about Hoyt?" Sam asked.

"He's dead." Will told him as Sam smiled.

"I didn't think it was possible! You've proven me wrong my friend!" Sam shouted in adulation as Will walked up to the cockpit.

"I've been known to do the impossible. Take us to the SAM launcher!" Will told him.

"Right! It's next to the radar jammer!" Sam replied as he piloted them to the southern part of the island. Riley got secured in his seat as Will held onto the rappel rope cord. The flight took a few minutes and they were nearly there when Will felt the satellite phone in his pocket go off. He picked it up and saw it was Daisy so he answered it.

"Hello?!" Will shouted into the phone.

"Will, where are you?! They're taking everyone! I don't know where! We need your help!" Daisy shouted.

"What?! I can't hear you!" Will shouted into the phone as the sound of the helicopter blades made it difficult to hear anything from the phone.

"Get over here as fast as you can!" She shouted before the line went dead.

"What the fuck!" Will shouted as they arrived at the SAM launcher next to the radar jammer. Will grabbed the RPG and inserted a rocket. "Riley, you better cover your ears!"

Riley did as Will took aim and fired, smoke shot from the end of the launcher as the RPG sailed through the air and hit the SAM launcher. The impact set off the missiles in the launcher and created a big explosion. Sam piloted them higher into the air, so they didn't get caught in the explosion as it was big and powerful enough to take out the radar jammer as well.

"WHOO!" Will shouted as he watched the explosion. "SAM! Take us to the Northern Island, western shore! My friends are there!"

"Right away, my friend!" Sam piloted the chopper back to the Northern Island as Will took out his Sat Phone.

"Barton, the SAM launchers and radar jammer are taken care of. Send in the cavalry and tell them to lock and load. There's a bunch of pirates and privateers still left and they're gonna put up a fight." Will told him.

"We're on our way. ETA, 30 minutes." Barton told him.

"Roger that. Send one team to the following coordinates. I think my friends might be in trouble!" Will sent him the coordinates for Dr. Earnhardt's house. The flight took about 20 minutes as they neared Dr. Earnhardt's house when Will saw smoke and fire in the distance. They got closer and Will saw the doctor's house was on fire and it looked like a battle took place.

"Oh my god." Riley was in shock at what happened as Sam saw the carnage.

"Mein Gott." Sam said as he lowered them down and landed the helicopter in a flat area by the doctor's house.

"Riley, stay here! Sam, watch over Riley!" Will shouted as he jumped out of the helicopter and held his pistol in front of him. Will walked forward and kept an eye out for any enemy pirates. "Daisy! Grant! Tabby!"

He shouted for his friends but their didn't seem to be anyone around. Will looked around and saw some boot prints in the ground and they all went to the alcove entrance where his friends were. He kept moving and made his way around the house and saw a trail of blood that led to the small patio overlooking the cliff and saw Dr. Earnhardt laying on the ground at the end of the blood trail.

"Oh my god! Dr. Earnhardt!" Will ran over and saw the doctor was stabbed in the stomach with a blade. Will put his hands on the wound as the doctor looked up.

"William." Dr. Earnhardt managed to say.

"Stay with me. You'll be fine." Will told him as the doctor took his hand.

"The jungle warriors…I couldn't stop them. I'm sorry." Dr. Earnhardt then coughed up some blood as he touched Will's face. "They carried your friends…to the…temple…"

The doctor slumped to the ground as his head fell to the side. Will checked for a pulse but there wasn't one. Will placed the doctor's hand on his stomach and closed his eyes. "I'm so sorry." Will bowed his head in respect for the man who had helped him and his friends. It was his fault this happened and now it was up to him to get his friends back and stop Citra and Dennis.

Will ran back to the helicopter with a somber look on his face. "Sam, we have to go! Take us to these coordinates!" Will told him as Sam nodded and they took off.

"Where are Grant and the others?!" Riley shouted.

"They were taken! We're getting them back!" Will told him as he took out his sat phone. "Barton, I don't know if you'll get this but change of plans. Send that one team to the new coordinates I'm sending. I'm gonna need some backup!"

Sam piloted them away from the house and to the Rakyat temple. Sam lowered them into the jungle and landed the helicopter on the outskirts on some flat ground. Will walked out of the helicopter as Sam followed him, followed by Riley. Will walked into the temple and made his way into the courtyard to see all the fire pits were lit but no one was around.

"Where the hell is everyone?" Will said to himself as they arrived in the main courtyard and Will saw Citra with her two guards. "Citra, what the hell did you do to my friends?"

"You have returned to us victorious. Hoyt and his men have paid for their crimes against our people. And our prophesied warrior has returned to us, ready to take his rightful place." Citra said as Will wasn't in the mood and walked up to her.

"Where the hell are my friends?" Will asked her.

"Hey, let go!" Will heard as he turned to see Riley and Sam being taken away.

"Hey, let them go! Citra, stop this!" Will turned to face her and she blew some kind of dust into his face. Once he inhaled it, Will's vision and mind began to get fuzzy as the dust must have been some kind of sedative or poison. Will struggled to stay balanced as he dropped to his knee. "What did you do to me?"

"I am helping you. You have accomplished much but you still reject your true calling." Citra said as she looked down at him and had her two guards hoist him up. "Look at you. Big, strong, powerful. Why would you want to go back to what you were? Now, you are perfect. The path has purified you, but the cleansing must be completed. All that remains is for you to escape your past. With the Rakyat you are powerful, like the mighty warrior our blood descends from. Complete your path or all your progress, your Tatau, everything you have done on this island will be erased."

Citra stepped back as she looked at her warriors. "Take him to the chambers and prepare him for the ceremony." She said as they nodded and dragged Will away. Whatever Citra used had dulled his sense but it was quickly subsiding and he felt the feeling coming back to his body. The Rakyat warriors had taken him from the courtyard and into the temple, dragging him to one of their rooms when Will decided to make his move.

He clenched his fists and yanked his left arm free from the warrior. He elbowed the warrior in the face and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying into the wall. Will grappled with the other warrior and took him to the ground, broke his arm and put him in a sleeper hold. The warrior struggled but Will was too strong and the warrior passed out. Will grabbed a vine from the wall and tied up the two warriors together. He took a pistol, an AK-47 and two knives from them as he quietly made his way through the temple to find his friends. He hugged the walls and checked the corners but didn't see any more Rakyat warriors. He kept moving through the temple when he saw a pathway that led to more stairs and what seemed like a pyramid structure you would see at a Mayan temple. Will took the pathway and walked up the stairs, looking around and keeping the AK-47 ready as he still didn't see any Rakyat warriors. He walked up the stairs and saw a small platform that led up to the temple and saw his friends tied up and gagged, hoisted up by their hands.

"Oh my god." Will slung the rifle on his shoulder and ran up to the platform to help his friends. He ran to the closest friend and it was Bobby. "Bobby! Bobby, you ok?"

Bobby nodded as Will took the gag out of his mouth and used his knife to cut him free. "Man am I glad to see you." Bobby said as he rubbed his wrists.

"No problem, buddy. Always there for each other." Will said as Bobby nodded. "What the hell did they take you for?"

"I don't know. They came to the Doctor's house and knocked us all out with drugs, and not the fun kind." Bobby said. "But they seemed really interested in you."

"Yeah, and not in a good way. More of Temple of Doom sacrifices way from what I can gather. Here…" Will handed Bobby a spare knife. "free the others."

Bobby walked over to James and cut him free as Will walked over to the other side and freed Sam. "Sorry about this Sam." Will told him.

"It's all right, my friend. I guess I owe you for saving me now." Sam said as Will cut his hands free.

"Consider us even." Will said as he then freed Daisy, Grant, Keith, and Riley while Bobby freed James, Clarice, Alex, Angel and Tabby. Will then took out his sat phone and called Barton. "Barton, where's that SHIELD team? I need an immediate pickup. Natives are now hostile."

"Will…." Angel looked at him in worry as Will heard the sound of a hundred rifle clicks. He turned and saw Citra with over 100 Rakyat warriors armed with AK-47s, all of them pointed at them.

"Let me and my friends leave before this gets out of hand, Citra. I took care of Vaas and Hoyt for you. What more do you want?" Will asked as Citra had her men lower their guns a bit.

"You mistake me, Will Detmer. I do not wish you harm, I wish you to be free. You are strong, powerful but you let your past life hold you back. Be free of them and you can rule the Rakyat with me." Citra told him as Will knew he was right about her, she is crazy.

"No. I'm strong enough as it is and my past doesn't hold me back. They're why I keep fighting. Now get out of the way!" Will warned her as she raised her arm and the Rakyat raised their guns at Will and his friends.

"This is for you, William. The warrior has blessed you. You are his reincarnation; your place is with your people." Citra begged him as Will looked at his friends.

"My people are right beside me. Let…us…leave…" Will warned her as he clenched his fist.

"William! Citra saved you! She saved all of us! And you reject her love!" Dennis shouted as he raised his pistol to shoot him and Citra tried to stop him but it was too late. The bullet flew through the air but before Will could stop it with his powers, a specialized magnetic arrow flew by and magnetized it to the arrowhead. The arrow then hit the ground and Will saw the bullet had magnetized to it. Will looked up and saw Barton in his SHIELD gear with his bow and quiver standing on top of the temple.

"Sorry I'm late but better late than never." Barton said as he whistled. Then 24 SHIELD commandos came out from the temple in full tactical gear and weapons. The Rakyat turned to shoot the intruders but the SHIELD agents fired back and killed about 30 of the Rakyat. Dennis charged forward to kill Will but Barton shot him dead with an arrow to the chest. Will's eyes flickered blue as the barrels of all the Rakyat rifles were destroyed, leaving them defenseless.

"Drop your weapons, now!" Will shouted as the Rakyat dropped their guns and got down on their knees with their hands up. Will looked at his friends and nodded to them as they all had looks of relief, they were safe. Will saw Dennis dead on the ground but he also saw Citra there as well, holding her stomach. A stray bullet must have hit her. Will knelt down next to her as she reached up to touch his face.

"Don't…stray…from the warriors…path…" Citra managed to say as her hand dropped to the ground and the life left her eyes. Will closed her eyes and took the meteor bracelet off her wrist and the ancient Rakyat blade in her belt. Will took the meteor stone out of the knife and dropped it and the bracelet to the ground before using his powers to crush both of them to rubble and dust.

Barton fired a grapple arrow and slid down to the temple floor. "This is Barton. I have eyes on the priority and secondary targets, no visible harm. Request immediate containment crew." Barton spoke into his earpiece.

"Roger that. On their way." Commander Hill replied.

Barton turned to Will who looked a little worse for wear. "Hey. So how was vacation?" Barton asked as Will chuckled.

"Crap." Will said as he hugged Barton and Barton hugged back. "Thanks, Barton."

"Anytime. Hopefully you'll do the same in the future." Barton told him.

"For the rest of your life, you can guarantee that. Even if I have to disobey orders, you can bet that I'll be there." Will said as Barton smiled and looked at his friends.

"How are your friends?" Barton asked as Will looked at them.

"Worse for wear…but we're alive." Will said.

"Right. Let's get you guys off this place. The rest of the SHIELD teams are taking care of the pirates and Hoyt's privateers and we have our engineers and techs working on Hoyt's computers." Barton said as Will nodded to his friends to follow. "The Quinjet will take you to a SHIELD facility in Thailand. Director Fury and a medical team are waiting there."

"Great, but we need to make a stop first." Will told him as they left the temple and saw a fleet of Quinjets and SHIELD vehicles waiting.

Line Break xxxxx

Manhattan, New York City: September 2011

It's been nearly three months since Will and his friends got off of Rook Island and Vaas and Hoyt were taken care of. After they were rescue from the island and treated at the SHIELD medical facility in Thailand, they got a plane back to the States. Will's friends all had to sign SHIELD confidentiality forms about what they witnessed and to not say a word about what happened unless it was to an authorized SHIELD psychiatrist. After they were physically cleared and checked, Will and his friends were given a psychiatrist to help them with the trauma of what happened.

Will especially had to see a therapist because Director Fury wanted to make sure that Will wasn't mentally compromised. When Will met with Director Fury and Deputy Director Hill, he had to give a full report of what happened on the island. Will told them everything, except for the part about the other meteor. He told them about Vaas, Hoyt, and how he handled himself in those situations. Fury and Hill were concerned about his mental stability considering that less than a year ago he was a regular college student and now he was a super-powered individual who took down three of the world's most notorious and dangerous human trafficking rings in the world and had to fight and kill to survive.

Will wasn't the same…ever since Paris he had changed, and this adventure only confirmed that his old life was officially over. Not just physically with his powers or the changes his body underwent from the Tatau but mentally as well. He underwent trauma most people never go through in their entire lives. He had seen horrible things and killed people as well. Granted, they were bad people but taking a life is never an easy thing to consider. Will understood that, and it was a good thing otherwise Director Fury would get worried. The first month back was rough as Will was suffering through a slight case of PTSD and given what happened, it was expected. He had dreams and nightmares about what happened, and he was experiencing hyperarousal.

Will visited his therapist more often to get help with his trauma and he got help from his family. He and his friends were in a rough spot but with help they would get better. Tony helped as well to Will's surprise. He knew a thing or two about trauma and Rhodey being in the military helped as well. He knew what Will was going through. They helped him heal and he was getting better, but time would ultimately help him. Will got an affinity for meditating which helped him calm his mind and given his psychic powers, it helped him keep focus.

It was Will's birthday and he was with Tony to work out some things. He celebrated his birthday a few days prior with his family. Nothing big, just a small dinner with his uncles and cousin. Given what happened, he wasn't in the mood for a huge party. He was with Tony because he needed his help and expertise with what happened on the island. SHIELD gave him a full medical exam after the island and they discovered that Will's body had changed. Before the island, Will was in the best shape for a man his age but now his body was pushed to the absolute peak of human potential similar to Captain America. His body's metabolic functions showed his muscle and nervous system were at their best to coincide with his brain, so he was now technically, a super soldier. Fury wanted to know what happened, but Will still wasn't sure about what happened, so he told Fury he didn't know. Maybe the transformation his body underwent from the meteor was finally complete or something like that. Fury bought it for now.

Will was at STARK Towers with Tony and Jarvis. They were on one of the R&D floors that had been completely built as Will wanted Tony's help to figure out what the hell happened to him. He also needed Tony's help with the mystery metal he found on the island as well as getting his help with his money and treasure. Tony had Pepper help Will with his money and treasure. Will was lying on a specialized medical bed as a scanner and IV band were analyzing his blood and body mass to scan for abnormalities. Tony also set up a special scanner on Will's left forearm which analyzed his tattoo. Will had been on the medical bed for about 30 minutes when the scan and analysis was finished. Tony was at the monitors looking over the information as Will got off the medical bed and put his shirt back on.

"Well? What do you think?" Will asked.

"Kid, I've seen some crazy things in my life…hell, I'm some of them but all of this is something else." Tony told him as he looked at the scans of Will's body and DNA. It showed Will's new enhanced nervous system and muscle structure. It showed that Will was given enhanced strength, speed, agility, stamina, and metabolic functions. He was just like Captain America. "I didn't think that alien DNA would be the source of your powers."

"You're preaching to the choir, Tony. How do you think I took it when I learned about this? Oh hey, Will, you don't just have telekinesis but you're also part alien and we have no idea how this happened." Will said as Tony nodded.

"All right, easy kid. Anyway, it seems like whatever happened on the island changed your body to the absolute peak of human potential. Guess SHIELD finally has a super soldier. Fury's gonna sink his hooks into you to figure out how this happened." Tony told him.

"Yeah, except I'm still not sure about how this happened. All I know is that it has to do with this tattoo." Will told him as he looked at it. "The locals on the island say that the Tatau was some kind of warrior's call and that if you follow the path of the warrior, you gain power."

"Sure, and if you chant hard enough it rains." Tony joked.

"Hey, I know how it sounds, ok. Those people were crazy. They were ready to do god knows what to my friends. But all this happened when they put this tattoo on me." Will said.

"I've finished analyzing the data and it would appear that the marking on your arm isn't a tattoo in the traditional sense as that would require ink." Jarvis told him.

"This isn't ink?" Will asked as he looked at the screen to see the scans of the tattoo and it showed the etchings weren't just on the skin but went deeper, to the muscle wall, almost to the bone.

"It would appear to be some kind of a subdermal brand. I'm still having trouble identifying the material though. There are some elements in the brand that don't correspond to any known element." Jarvis said as Will got an idea.

Will walked over to his jacket and pulled out a small glass beaker capped with a cork. Inside was the meteor he took from the island. "What about this?" Will asked as he uncorked it and levitated the small rock out of the vial and moved it over to the scanner. Jarvis began scanning the meteor and ran a molecular breakdown and elemental scan.

"Analysis and breakdown complete." Jarvis said as a holographic image of the rock's molecular structure appeared and it was incredibly unique. Similar to crystals but it had a self-sustaining energy system like it was alive and based on the scans, was easily a billion years old. "Based on the scans I've run, it would seem that there is a similarity between this rock and the material used in your tattoo."

Jarvis brought up the scans of Will's tattoo to show there was a 70% match in material used. "What exactly is that thing?" Tony asked.

"It's the meteor that gave me my powers. I found another one on the island." Will told him.

"And you brought it here?" Tony asked as he pressed a button and a protective cover shot up around the rock.

"I didn't know what to do. I couldn't just leave it there for someone else to stumble onto it and get powers that turn them into god knows what. It's safer with me. Besides, it's not like it can mutate me again." Will said.

"And Mr. Detmer would be correct in that regard. Based on my analysis of the material, it would appear that the rock emits a unique radiation signature that is capable of causing a metamorphic change in individuals but since Mr. Detmer has already undergone his transformation, the rock is harmless. And based on my scans, the material is harmless to humans." Jarvis told him.

"So, could this rock transform other humans like it did me?" Will asked.

"Possibly, yes. But based on my scans, the transformation would occur to only select individuals. Mr. Stark's DNA doesn't react to the substance so it would seem that an existing genetic anomaly or marker is required in a person's genetic history for a transformation like Mr. Detmer's to occur." Jarvis said.

"All right, then what about the tattoo?" Will asked.

"Based on my scans of your tattoo and what you said transpired on the island that caused it to grow, my scans detect that the material in the brand reacted to your unique DNA structure. Upon continued exposure to the unique radiation from the meteor, it enhanced your physiology to the state it's in. But more tests will need to be conducted as there are still elements in the brand that I am unable to quantify." Jarvis told him.

"Would it help if I told you I got a vision when this happened and I think it might be a blood-ritual magic type of thing that caused this to happen?" Will asked as Jarvis didn't speak for a few seconds.

"No, I don't believe it would." Jarvis told him.

Tony pressed a few buttons and the meteor was encased in a special glass/metal container for Will to carry. "Here, best to keep it locked up." Tony told him.

"Right." Will said as he took it and put it in his pocket. "Thanks, Tony. For all of this."

"Don't mention it, kid. Besides, any chance I can get to screw with Fury a bit, I'll take it." Tony said as Will chuckled. "So, will you tell him?"

"About the tattoo, maybe. The meteor, no. Until I learn more about whatever this thing is and why it only changes certain people, it's best if its secrets stay with me." Will said as Tony nodded. "Still, all of this is a little crazy. I didn't expect super soldier powers to come with the territory and whatever the hell this meteor is."

"Well, life only throws what we can handle kid. And with your new powers, you can handle a lot. Just keep your head on a swivel kid." Tony told him as Will nodded.

"Now, what about the strange metal?" Will asked as they walked over to the high-tech metal container that had the metal ore Will found on the island.

"That's an easier story." Tony said as he opened up the crate and took one of the metal shards that wasn't in a glass container. "It's Vibranium."

"Vibranium as in the metal used in Captain America's shield, the rarest metal on earth?" Will asked as Tony nodded. "How the hell did this stuff get on the island?"

"Not sure. Your guess is as good as mine. But this stuff is rarer than rare. Wakanda doesn't let any of their Vibranium out except for a few circumstances. My guess is that this stuff might have been stolen and the pirates got their hand on the stuff. I doubt they knew what this was." Tony said.

"Well, I should probably return this stuff then." Will said as Tony chuckled.

"Only you would think of doing something like that, kid. It's refreshing." Tony joked.

"Well, I'll return the ten in the containers. The three that aren't I'll keep as a souvenir. Think you can make some new body armor with one of them?" Will asked as Tony nodded.

"I can do that. How are you going to return the rest?" Tony asked.

"I'll figure it out." Will said as he pressed a few buttons on the computer to bring up the information on Wakanda. An isolated nation in Africa that most of the world thought was to be a third world nation, poor and out of touch with the rest of the world but for people like Tony and SHIELD, they knew the truth. Wakanda was actually one of the most advance and powerful nations in the world and the wealthiest because they controlled the world's only supply of Vibranium. Will brought up the information on the nation and the ruling family of King T'Chaka, Prince T'Challa, and Princess Shuri. "Wait a second…T'Challa?"

Will looked at the picture of the ruling family and recognized T'Challa. "Something wrong, kid?" Tony asked.

"What, no. I know T'Challa." Will said as Tony looked at him weird. (1)

"You know the prince of Wakanda?" Tony asked.

"Yeah, last year there was an exchange student at NYU. He was visiting for the year and we had a few classes together and became friends…I think. It was a little weird since he kind of kept to himself, but I heard he was visiting from Africa. He still owes me my notebook." Will said as he was surprised to learn that his old college friend and classmate was a prince and the heir to the throne of Wakanda. "That'll make getting a meeting easier than I thought."

"Well, then you'll get to prove it. The King and Prince will be in New York in November for the meeting at the UN to deal with the next Human Rights Committee. Wakanda may be an isolationist nation, but the King's smart enough to keep in contact with the world for future threats." Tony said.

"Good to know. I wonder if I'll get my notebook back." Will said as Tony looked at him. "What? It was my favorite college bound notebook."

"Kid, with all the money, gold and jewels you found, you're a millionaire now. Some smart investments and you'll be a billionaire. Take it from me, college bound is nothing to tech." Tony said as Will chuckled. Will would have retorted when his phone went off and saw it was from Coulson. He wanted Will to come down to the SHIELD office in Manhattan, now. "Let me guess, Agent eye patch needs you?"

"Coulson, actually. I wonder what he wants. Tony, look after the Vibranium for me?" Will asked.

"Sure thing, kid. Remember, lying is as much a mind game as it is a physical one. With your new body, it should be easier." Tony told him as Will just shook his head and left Stark Tower. He got on his motorcycle and drove to the SHIELD office. He parked his bike on the street and walked into the office, going over to the front desk where they had him check in and give him a temporary id badge. He walked through the checkpoint and two security guards escorted him to Director Fury's office.

They walked down the hall to Fury's office where he saw Agent Coulson waiting for him. "I'll take it from here, gentlemen. Thank you." Coulson said as they nodded and left. "The Director's waiting."

Coulson and Will walked in to see the Director standing by his desk with Commander Hill but Romanoff and Barton were also there as well. Will walked in and stood at attention in front of Director Fury's desk. "Director."

"Mr. Detmer. How was your visit with Stark?" Fury asked as Will wasn't surprise that he knew he went to see Tony.

"Educational. I'm starting to understand how this happened." Will looked down at the tattoo. "Jarvis says that my transformation is finished."

"And as to how this took place?" Fury asked.

"Not sure at the moment, sir but Jarvis assures me that this can't happen to just anyone. My unique physiology is why I changed. This can't happen to anyone else." Will told them as Fury looked at him, not convinced by his answer.

"Shame. And Mr. Detmer, if you're gonna work for SHIELD, you'll want to learn how to lie more convincingly." Fury told him as Will didn't react.

"I've never been a good liar, sir. Part of my charm." Will said as Barton chuckled.

"Don't think of it as lying, more of selective truths." Romanoff told him.

"Isn't that just a different word for lying?" Will asked as Fury stood up and walked over to the window.

"Mr. Detmer…what does SHIELD stand for?" Fury asked as Will looked at him.

"The Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division." Will replied.

"And what does that mean to you?" Fury asked as he looked at him. "What is SHIELD's goal?"

"Protection. We protect the planet and people from enemies or technology that would do them harm." Will told him.

"Exactly." Fury said as he walked over to Will. "The purpose SHIELD was founded on was pure, protection. One word, whether it's to protect one man when he becomes a danger to himself or to protect the planet from destroying itself from nuclear annihilation. But the fundamental belief that drives use is the same whether it's one man or all mankind."

"That people are worth protecting." Will said as Fury nodded.

"I've been doing this long before you were even born, Mr. Detmer. Long before SHIELD, I've seen enough of the world and have seen man's cruelty against one another. Even for your age, you've seen your fair share." Fury said as Will nodded. "My time has changed my view on life, Detmer, and not for the better, I'll admit that. I can count the people I trust on one hand and I'm not afraid to cut off fingers. I've seen and done things that show how cruel this world can be but it's always been for protection. You're different, Mr. Detmer."

Will looked at him for a moment before Fury walked over to his desk. "You've stared into the eyes of the devil and you didn't blink. You came out stronger for it. You saved your friends on the island and risked everything to save your family in Paris. Now, while those actions were risky and dangerous, it showed how much you believe in what SHIELD stands for…what everyone in this room stands for, despite the ways we may go about it. You've acted as the muscle. Now…" Fury came out from the desk and held out a small black wallet. "You'll be the heart. Welcome to SHIELD."

Will was frozen a bit as he took the badge and opened it to see a SHIELD badge complete with a metallic SHIELD logo. His name and picture were printed on the badge along with the badges serial number and activation date. "Thank you, sir. For everything." Will said as Fury nodded.

"You've earned this, Mr. Detmer." Fury told him as Will nodded.

"Your training and path isn't the same as a typical operative but your circumstance is a little different." Hill said.

"You've accomplished tasks and have been put in situations that are reserved for level 5 operatives and higher. Granted, they weren't completed to SHIELD standards but they were completed nonetheless. From now on, SHIELD will only accept the best." Coulson said.

"Well, SHIELD will be getting Will Detmer's best." Will retorted.

"Somehow, I think we can make that work." Barton said as Romanoff chuckled.

"I'll only get harder from here on out, Will. You know that, right? All the training and everything you've been through will seem like practice compared to what's coming." Romanoff told him.

"I'm ready." Will said as he looked at Fury. "You wanted an Avenger, you've got one when you make the call."

Fury nodded as he admired Will's eagerness and spirit but he still had some way to go. "So, if you're going to be a specialist like me and Clint, you'll need a codename. Any idea?" Romanoff asked as Will hadn't figure out an alias or codename.

"It'll come to me." Will said as he faced Director Fury. "So, what's next?"

"Hill and Coulson will get you adjusted to how things run at SHIELD. And when we have a mission, you'll know." Fury said as Will nodded. He then looked at Coulson who held up a manila folder.

"And there's this." Coulson handed Will the file and he saw it had his name on it. "Everything regarding your abilities and origin is locked under level 10 clearance which is only accessible by the Director. When we did our initial observation into you, we did a thorough investigation that also included information as to your adoption."

"What is this?" Will asked.

"Information on your birthparents." Coulson told him as Will looked down at the file. There was actual information on where he came from literally in his hands. "We found genetic matches for your mother and father…one of whom was already in our system."

Will looked at Coulson and then around the room. "They're not the in room, are they?" Will asked as Coulson shook his head no.

"We figured that if you made it this far, you would want to know where you came from. We did the work for you." Coulson said as Will looked at the file.

"I'd be lying if I wasn't curious as to where I came from but it would lead to one of three answers. That I was a mistake, my birth parents are dead or they didn't want me." Will said as he looked down at the file. "Besides, I think it might be a little late for a family reunion. Thank you, though. I'll see you tomorrow."

Will left the SHIELD building and drove back home to get some rest. He ate some dinner and got ready for bed, knowing tomorrow he'd get a real look into how SHIELD operates and begin his journey as a SHIELD operative and an Avenger. Will got out of the shower and put on some shorts. He walked into the kitchen to get some water when he noticed the file on the kitchen counter, the file on his birth parents. A part of him really didn't care to know why his parent's didn't keep him but there was a small tinge in his mind that wanted to know who they were. Will walked into the kitchen and grabbed a beer to calm the nerves. He drank the whole thing with gusto and didn't feel anything. The one downside to the new super soldier upgrade is that he can't get drunk. He then walked over to the cabinet and poured himself a small glass of whiskey and took a sip.

He sat down at the counter, took another sip of whiskey and looked down at the file, debating with himself if he should or shouldn't open it. Sort of like his own Schrodinger's cat. He grabbed his whiskey glass and downed it in one before taking a breath and opening the file. The first few pages were about Will and the information SHIELD must have gotten from his hospital records before his power incident. They included his blood tests and DNA records when they were still human.

He turned the page and saw one genetic match for his mother…Carol Danvers.

She is a Captain in the US Air Force and the file said she was a Security Chief for a restricted military base and special projects. Will looked at the old pictures from the 90s and a current one and she was beautiful. She was supposed to be in her late 30s, possibly you would think 40, maybe 41 but her current picture made her look like she was in her late 20s or early 30s. Whatever she did for her skin was working. Will looked over the file and saw there wasn't a lot of information like Coulson and Fury left some stuff out or they didn't know a lot, Will couldn't tell. But he also saw that according to the information she wasn't married which only fed his theory that he was a mistake of a one-night stand. (2)

He then turned the page to see the information on his father…John Garrett. He's a SHIELD Specialist with a long history of combat and espionage in both the army and SHIELD. He's a Level 7 operative like Coulson, Romanoff, and Barton and based on all the information that Coulson did give him, Garrett was a heck of a soldier. He completed dozens of missions during his time with SHIELD and he's helped a lot of people, but Will also saw that Garrett was listed as single with no next of kin. He never married and didn't know that Will was alive.

Will closed the file and took a deep breath. He now knew where he came from and who his birth parents were. He honestly felt he would feel some kind or relief like a huge weight had been lifted but he didn't feel any different. These people may have created him, but they weren't his parents. Besides, now that he was with SHIELD, it was a little late for a family reunion or attempt to make peace considering his life would be filled with secrets and missions. He was fine without them for 23 years and he didn't need them now. It's not like they would become a big part of his life.

If only Will knew how wrong that statement was.

End of Chapter 3

I hoped you guys liked Chapter 3. Will's friends are safe, he's off the island and now he's officially a SHIELD agent. Thanks to the mystical Tatau, Will is now technically a super soldier so his life gets only more complicated and it won't be long before some curious SHIELD scientist or the World Security Council tried to sink their claws in. Next time, Will's journey with SHIELD leads him to discover a living legend, some more missions that prove his skill and what he stands for but most of all, he meets people that can finally fill in the blanks on what the hell he is. Until next time.

If you guys were hoping the Far Cry 3 mission would last longer, I'm sorry but realistically with Will and his powers and training, it wouldn't have lasted longer and he wouldn't have gone through everything the same way Jason would have. Will's more skilled and he's smart enough to know crazy when he sees it. He's not someone to get suckered in to what Citra and Dennis preach. And he's more skilled and that along with his powers make handling the situations a lot easier as well as taking care of Vaas and Hoyt. For these situations, think of Will's movements and actions with guns and rifles similar to John Wick from the Wick movies. That's a good mental representation of how Will fights with guns. In hand to hand combat, think of a mix between Green Arrow from Arrow and Captain America.

Thanks to a guest review that reminded me that according to the Far Cry 3 wiki, the Tatau enhances the user's skills such as speed and strength and as it grows the user gets stronger. Obviously for the game it reflects Jason's skill level but for a realistic case it would mystically enhance Will's body to super soldier levels, to about the same degree as Captain America with some caveats. I hoped you liked the little exploration and discovery that the first Rakyat was actually someone like Will but centuries ago. He performed a magical ritual with the meteor and when he drew the Tatau, it enhanced his body to super soldier levels. So when Dennis draws the base lines of the Tatau on his arm and they interact with Citra's wrist band and the meteor fragment in the blade, it causes the Tatau to spread and enhance his body. Since Will is just like the original Rakyat, only someone with his blood can change. Even though Citra had the wristband and came into contact with the meteor like Will did, she doesn't have the genetic marker for a metamorphosis.

Will's friends will show up later when the Agents of SHIELD arc starts. You now know who Will's birth parents are and they'll come to feature in later chapters, especially Garrett during Agents of SHIELD and Carol Danvers during Avengers 4.

1). It's never mentioned in the MCU, but in the comics T'Challa received the best education in the world, getting degrees from all over the world. Before he can assume the mantle of king, he trains both physically as well as mentally. I liked this idea because it would give me an actual reason for why Will and T'Challa know each other. They have a pre-existing relationship in a positive manner, granted they're not best friends but T'Challa knows Will and from their previous interactions, he has no negative mindset about him. In the MCU, I believe T'Challa and Kilmonger are the same age during the Black Panther movie, so around their late 20s early 30s, which makes Will a little younger then them.

2). Yes, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel is Will's biological mother. Seeing as how Captain Marvel isn't out yet and we only know a little about the movie, a lot of this was just me making up some stuff to make it work. We do know that the Captain Marvel movie in 2019 will be set in the 90s when Carol is in the Air Force when she gets her powers. If the movie goes with Brie Larson's actual age, she'll be about in her late 20s, probably 29 when the movie takes place in the 90s which makes her the perfect age to be Will's biological mother who then gave him up for adoption. When the 4th Avengers movie takes place, she'll probably be in her late 30s or early 40s and even though she might not look it, it'll probably be explained. I personally think that her powers and Kree energy allow her to age slower so it's why she looked so young but we'll have to wait and see. Obviously, Carol Danvers won't be showing up anytime soon since her movie isn't out yet and it's in the 90s when Will was a kid but when she shows up in the 4th Avengers movie, Will and Carol will have a tense reunion. More of her past with John Garrett will come up in later chapters but now you know where Will came from.
