Hey, guys! Here's another chapter of Ultimate Alliance What if...?! Let's begin!
I DON'T OWN ANYONE IN THIS SERIES!*
We see a old video from a camera where it's showing...
Watcher: New York, December 1991. The night the Winter Soldier cam to assassinate Howard and Maria Stark. But in this universe, how could a night so pivotal in the lives of the Avengers, an event whose ramifications would be felt for decades, how could it have gone so differently?
While he was talking, the video show that the Winter Soldier was fighting the Red Guardian!
Watcher: Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am the Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question... "What if?"
The scene then changes to Dreykov with the Red Guardian at the Red Room.
Red Guardian: You've got to be kidding me. You want me to go undercover as a Data Input Manager in Ohio?
Dreykov: Senior Data Imput Manager. Eh? Middle management ain't too shabby.
Red Guardian: I am the Red Guardian. I am Mother Russia's first super-soldier. You know my worth, my talent, and yet you ask this of me?
Dreykov: It's a pretty top-priority mission.
Red Guardian: Horseradish! I am no fool. I've heard the rumors. Whisper in the halls. The Rook has sent new intel.
Dreykov: I've never heard of this crook.
Red Guardian: Rook! It's a chees piece. Dreykov, don't play dumb with me whe I'm obviously smarter than you. I am speaking of the Rook the American sleeper agent, has intel on a high-value target.
Dreykov: [gets call on old phone] [answers it] Uh, General Dreykov. Aah! Da, Karpov. Eh, there's a mission. I need you to defrost the... [looks at Red Guardian] the Winter Soldier.
Red Guardian: [mad] The Winter Soldier? That piece of HYDRA trash!
Dreykov: I appreciate it, Karpov.
Red Guardian: He's not even real Russian.
Dreykov: Hey, hey, hey. We're all a team here. Family. Don't be mad that your brother has a different mission. Celebrate him, huh?
Red Guardian: Huh. Maybe it's time for the Red Guardian to spread his wings. Go somewhere thatwill appreciate my skills! Celebrate that, Dreykov!
Dreykov: What you're going to do, huh? Put in an application at S.H.I.E.L.D.? [scoffs]
Red Guardian: Then the Red Guardian shall demostrate his value once again.
Dreykov: All right.
But not to his knowing, Red Guardian stole the file that was on Dreykov's desk. Soon, Red Guardian, as his alter ego, and the Winter Soldier, after being defrost, made their way to the target. Later, at night, both the Winter Soldier and Red Guardian started to chase the Starks, one by motorbike and one by foot. Then it shows that the Winter Soldier made Howard crash his car. But before, he could steal the super soldier serum...
Red Guardian: [as the Winter Soldier points his gun at him] Whoa, whoa, whoa! The mission is to steal the fancy serum.
Winter Soldier: No witnesses.
Red Guardian: No murder. The Red Guardian is Russia's greatest super-spy. Anyone can kill. Bang-bang, easy-peasy, but I am the night and I am the wind. I am here, and then vanish without a trace.
Winter Soldier: No witnesses.
Red Guardian: Yes, witnesses. This way Stark runs back to his capitalist pig friends and warns them that the revolution is coming and he wears red. And white. And that you were here too. Da?
Soon, the two got to fighting! But then, they hear the police sirens from the distance, and they ran for it with the serum! They got a few feet away from them, and the Winter Soldier dial his contect on his Russian phone.
Red Guardian: Oh, I have one of those, too. Heavy, though. I left it in my luggage. Is that the XZ-Eight?
Winter Soldier: Ten.
Red Guardian: Ten?
Winter Soldier: XZ-Ten.
Red Guardian: What happened to the nine? Was there a nine? I didn't get a nine.
Karpov: [on phone] Did you secure the package?
Red Guardian: [opens case] One out of three ain't bad.
Winter Soldier: Negative. We secured one.
Karpov: [on phone] No witnesses?
Winter Soldier: There were... complications.
Karpov: [on phone] You have failed your mission, soldier. Your team has been compromised. You're on your own for extraction. Over. [ends call]
Red Guardian: What? [groans] Typical Red Room borscht. They say they care, but do they? [blows raspberry]
Winter Soldier: Mission failure? I never fail.
Meanwhile, the police was at the crime scene and a ambulance taking both Howard and Maria to the hospital. While the ambulance toke the two, Bill Foster came to the scene.
Bill Foster: Listen up. [shows badge] The name is Dr. Bill Foster. I'm the head of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Science Division which makes me the primary on this investigation. Who was first on the scene?
Ranger Morales: That would be me.
Bill Foster: Talk to me, ranger.
Ranger Morales: Ranger Morales, sir.
Bill Foster: Mm-hm.
Ranger Morales: Howard and Maria Stark. Concussions, laceration, but expected to make a full recovery.
Bill Foster: Great. What'd they see?
Ranger Morales: Um, not much. The wife was unconscious. The husband saw two men fighting. Best guess would have been a carjacking gone wrong.
Bill Foster: "Best guess?" Ranger, in my world, we don't get the luxury of guessing.
Ranger Morales: Yes, but that trail of blue Cookie Monster blood has me thinking it's a little worse than a couple of knuckleheads out for a joyride.
Bill Foster: Mm-hm.
Ranger Morales: What's that gunk anyway?
Bill Foster: This gunk can change the course of history.
Ranger Morales: Seriously?
Bill Foster: Oh, yeah. Agents and officers, shut down the airports, train stations, and bus stations. I want a hard perimeter stretching from here to Ohio. We are dealing with genetically, biologically, physically, and mechanically enhanced super-soldiers. These men are trained to infiltrate and destroy. They are capable of the unthinkable. To face them is to face death.
The next day, the Winter Soldier and Red Guardian, in regular clothes, are at a fast food joint, and Red Guardian was yelling at the cash register.
Red Guardian: A-ha! Foisting capitalist greed onto the working man! I don't blame you sister. You've been brainwashed by the bourgeoisie pigs who force you into paper hats and servitude!
Lucy: Sir. All I asked was if you wanted fries with that.
Red Guardian: Demand the revolution! Seize the means of production! The nuggets of chicken are your for the taking!
Winter Soldier: Alexei--
Red Guardian: Your masters have you slinging burgers, but when, when, when do you get to eat?
Lucy: I'm a vegetarian, fart-knocker!
Winter Soldier: Hey, Lucy, is it? That's a pretty name. Listen, my friend had a rough night. Can we get a couple sixes and two Cokes?
Lucy: Sure. I'll throw in some extra fries. [winks at him]
Red Guardian: What in the pelmeni was that?
Winter Soldier: You idiocy triggered my deep cover mode.
Red Guardian: Well, knock it off, Captain Personality. You're embarrassing us. You're going to get us caught.
Soon, they got their food and started to eat.
Red Guardian: I was liberating her mind. Breaking her mental shackles. It's what I do. That's it. The Rook. The secret legend who will flip the US hegemony like a Monopoly board. The man who will unite the workers and reshape history. [chuckles]
Winter Soldier: Alexei.
Red Guardian: The Rook will help us. Especially when he sees we have this. Ha-ha! [pulls out file] Here. The most recent communique has him in Las Vegas.
Winter Soldier: It's Las Vegas.
Red Guardian: That's what I said. It's very rude to correct my English. Obviously, they forgot to program any manners into you. Now, we must acquire transport.
That's when a sport car pulled in. After a while, The Red Guardian took the car and drove off with the Winter Soldier.
Red Guardian: These fries are pretty good. They must be made from Russian potatoes. Ha! Russia's the best.
Then, up ahead, there was a road block where Bill Foster was at. Bill then notice the two.
Bill Foster: Hm. I'll handle this one. [goes over to the two]
Red Guardian: Relax, relax. The Red Guardian has this. Are you relaxing? It's very hard to tell. Your eyes so angry, like... Winter Fox. [Foster knocks on window] [rolls it down] [American accent] Uh, ah, how can I help you, officer?
Bill Foster: Just a routine check-in. Say, where are you fellas headed?
Red Guardian: [stuttering]
Winter Soldier: Sister's.
Red Guardian: Yes, to visit our sister. It's her birthday.
Bill Foster: You guys are brothers? What'd yo get your sister for her birthday? 'Cause I cannot for the life of me figure out what to get my wife for Christmas.
Red Guardian and Winter Soldier: Sweater/Television.
Bill Foster: You got her a sweater and a television? [sees shield] Wow! That's very generous.
Things got out of hand, 'cause that's when the Winter Soldier pulls out his gun and the Red Guardian drove off! And a car chase has begun! They lead to a farm, where Bill got into his suit and became Black Goliath!
Ranger Morales: [sees Black Goliath grow] Whoa! Okay, sir, I see you.
Meanwhile, the two super-soldier manage to lose the cops... But Black Golaith was right behind them!
Red Guardian: [sees Black Goliath coming] Whoa! Winter Fox. We've got a big problem.
Black Goliath: Nowhere to go, baby. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.
Red Guardian: Why is everything so big in America?
That's when they ran threw a barn and they took down Black Goliath! The two then approach a cayon and...
Winter Soldier: Keep going?
Red Guardian: Why not? I have nowhere else to be today.
Turns out, they are going to try to jump the cayon! The two watch as they head for the cayon, including Goliath, Morales, and the Watcher. But as they reach the cayon... A few hours later, they seen the car crash.
Ranger Morales: Found it!
Black Goliath: Hmm. You're still on the case, Ranger?
Ranger Morales: The National Park Service is a federal agency, sir. Beside, I once wrestled Bigfoot with my bare hands.
Black Goliath: What?
Ranger Morales: Nah, it was just a mountain lion. But the point is, these yahoos don't scare me.
Black Goliath: [chuckles softly] Uh-huh? I see you.
That's when they see a little kids book where it was revealed they were heading to Las Vegas. Meanwhile, at a pet shop, the Red Guardian and Winter Soldier were patching up from the crash.
Red Guardian: Hah. This... This will garner me a commendation, maybe even a medal. [sees Winter Soldier patching himself] Ah! You're hurt. Why didn't you say something?
Winter Soldier: The Winter Soldier never complains, only complies.
Red Guardian: Stop it. You're scaring the kittens. Let me. [goes over to him] You know, you're supposed to catch the bullets with your metal arm. Hm? How'd that happen?
Winter Soldier: How did you happen?
Red Guardian: I come from a family of nobodies. Good people but... then I had the chance to become somebody. Now, I am Mother Russia's great protector, her Red Guardian. Pretty good for a boy from nowhere, eh?
Winter Soldier: I'm a nobody. I can't even remember anything.
Red Guardian: Nothing?
Winter Soldier: Not even my name.
Red Guardian: I don't believe that. Look at you. You are strong man with big brain. Close you eyes.
Winter Soldier: No.
But, he then closes his eyes, to see Coney Island in his memories.
Red Guardian: See! You are somebody. You are the great Coney Island hero. And the Red Guardian is proud to fight next to you.
Winter Soldier: Thank you.
Red Guardian: I'm going to steal us a new ride. Maybe something nice. Some heated seats, yeah? [leaves]
That's when the Winter Soldier got a call...
Winter Soldier: [answers call] Ready to comply.
Dreykov: [on phone] Soldier, this is General Derykov. Mission orders have changed. You're to dispose of Agent Alexei Shostakov, the Red Guardian.
Winter Soldier: Repeat orders, sir?
Dreykov: Shostakov has become a liability. Put a bullet in his thick skull and get back here. Do you copy? Do I need to remind you that mission failure will not be tolerated?
Winter Soldier: No, sir.
The two soon reach Las Vegas, where the Rook's hotel room is. As they entered, turns out, the Rook was Obadiah!
Obadiah: Pop the cork, will ya? I can shuck my own-- [sees the two] Well, you're not room service. What's going on?
Red Guardian: Comrade Rook, I am the Red Guardian, sir. This is my compatriot, the Winter Soldier. It is our honor to meet you. I thought he'd be taller? Did you think that? Is that weird?
Obadiah: Well, what are you? Why are you ressed like this? Are you a... Is he gonna shoot you out of a cannon later or...
Red Guardian: You are the nefarious Rook who will bring Uncle Sam to his knees. You will ignite the revolution that frees the proletariat.
Obadiah: Wait, so you two are Rusky spies? What are you doing in my hotel room?
Winter Soldier: Our mission was compromised. We require transport back to Russia.
Obadiah: Whoa, I am no Russian spy. I am a hot-blooded American boy.
Red Guardian: You are the Rook! You strike fear into the hearts and wallets-- I feel like speaking a different language here.
Obadiah: Okay, okay. Look, I traded the Russians some information on Stark's hunky-dory serum. A little tit-for-tat. And in return, you two idiots were supposed to kill the Starks! Now, I was supposed to be givin' a tear-filled eulogy about the fool right now, while they scrape his name off Stark Industries. But instead, Howard Stark's sitting eatin' tapioca in a hospital, and I'm talking to you, Stupid Siegfried and Angry Roy!
Red Guardian: What? You are... You are capitalist pig? Red Room work with capitalist pig? Red Guardian work for capitalist pig?
Obadiah: Hey, listen, husky Rusky, captialist is the only system that stands for a man's right to own his work, his life, and his happiness. Any man who thinks money is the root of all evil is obviously poor. Not a country on this planet that doesn't run on greed. Tell me something. You think your bosses, your comrades give two nickels about you? Hm? [pulls out gun slowly from ice bucket] About what you want from life?
Winter Soldier: No. They don't.
Obadiah: [chuckles] Well, you must be the funny one. It's... just you two, right? Only you know about this mission failure.
Red Guardian: It's not something you brag about.
Obadiah then shots at the two, but Winter Soldier blocked the bullets with his metal arm, making him fall threw the window and killing him! Soon, The cops and Red Room came to get them! The two went threw Casino, with Black Goliath and the Rangers behind them! The Winter Soldier then shoots the game slots, making them win the jackpot, and making people get the money! Including Morales!
Black Goliath: [looks at Morales] Uh?
Ranger Morales: [holding hat with coins] What? I'm not getting overtime for this.
Black Goliath: I have one last chip of my own.
Meanwhile, the two super-soldiers were running away from the cops. But behind them, Black Goliath was right there, and grows!
Black Goliath: Where are you goin'?
Red Guardian: Oh! This guy again?
Black Goliath: You can't outrun me.
Red Guardian: I thought we were done with the big guy.
Suddendly, the two crashed into oncoming cars that were heading towards them!
Black Goliath: [picks up Red Guardian] Up you go. [sees Winter Soldier coming towards him] [steps on him] Hey, little man.
Winter Soldier: [moves out of way] [punches Black Goliath's ankle]
Black Goliath: [gets hurt] [lets go of Red Guardian] [screams]
The two then worked together to take him out!
Red Guardian and Winter Soldier: Technique! [both laughs]
Red Guardian: [he and Winter Soldier runs off] That's how we do it in Moscow.
The two then ran to an abandoned building where they could be safe. But as they thought they were safe, the Red Room came in!
Winter Soldier: [gets call] [answers it] Ready to comply?
Karpov: You failed your mission, soldier. Dreykov warned you what would happen.
Red Guardian: [as Winter Soldier breaks the phone] Dreykov?
Winter Soldier: Dreykov put out a kill order on you.
Red Guardian: Uh. Oh? You mean he told you to--
Winter Soldier: [gives him the serum] Take this and run. I'll buy you time to escape.
Red Guardian: No. No. They betray me, I betray them! [destroy serum] The Red Room has enough soldiers. We'll fight together.
That when a HYDRA Commander came in with the book thay controls Winter Soldier and started to say the words!
Red Guardian: [as Winter Solder struggles] What is happening?
Winter Solder: He's gonna make me kill you, Alexei. He can force me.
While the Red Room was where the two are, the cops and Black Goliath are approaching the building. But before the Winter Soldier could kill the Red Guardian, the HYDRA Commander said something in Russian, and the pain from him has stopped. That's when Black Goliath and his team came in, and soon the fight has begun, with the Red Guardian and Winter Soldier joining the fight!
Watcher: Fighting for survival. For acceptance. Fighting to be somebody. But in the end, the fight is never the point. It's your friendship that change the course of history. Even when they end.
It then shows the Winter Soldier being freezed again, while Alexei was a couch teaching kids dodgeball, and they are losing.
Bob Toledo: You're weak, children. Blined by American excess. Luckily, Couch Bob Toledo is here to make you fighters!
That's when Bill Foster came in.
Bill Foster: [pulls out Bob's shield] An agent recovered it at the scene.
Bob Toledo: Thank you. But are you here to arrest me?
Bill Foster: No. S.H.I.E.L.D. was formed after World War II. A war that Russia helped us win.
Bob Toledo: We won. You helped.
Bill Foster: Well, I wanted to see if you'd help again.
Bob Toledo: Seriously? [chuckles] Man... I could be persuaded to fill out an application.
It then show the "Avengers" scene, where Red Guardian moved beside Black Widow and Captain America and posed as a new member!
