Hookwolf Pov:
Brad thought of himself as a warrior, as a man born for battle, and then he gained power in this super-powered world; Brad thought he had achieved his version of happiness as he partook in Illegal Parahuman Underground Fighting Rings to test his metal against others, obtaining glory and money doing so.
But then he killed someone, and so he Cricket and Stormtiger had to go on the run, but they got picked up by the Empire; then they went through Brockton Bay, and that was when Hookwolf had been born. Brad had initially not cared for the Nazi Ideology; for Hydra's vision for the world, he just wanted the protection it granted him, and the ability to fight other Parahumans, as a pit fighter, or as a villain; it didn't matter to him.
But as the years passed, Brad found himself agreeing more and more with what his comrades were saying, saw what they were talking about, what the lessers were doing to the country, the world.
Hydra was the only thing that could bring order.
And so when Captain Nazi had arrived in Brockton Bay to tell the E88 that all of Hydra would be going on the offensive as apparently, every single Pre-Cog said their organization would end in 2011.
Brad could not have that, Hookwolf could not have that, and so, as planned, he engineered a situation that would start of the war against the ABB, to purge those oriental freaks from the city.
It had gone somewhat well; getting yeeted by the Spider Bitch had pissed him off, so he had meant to take out his aggression on the slanty-eyed shit that had been waiting.
But then the fucking teen hard started to not fucking die.
Then it had become a matter of pride for Hookwolf; the brat had embarrassed him with his constant dodging, and then he turned out to be a fucking mage and summoned some sort of scantily clad woman.
And it was clear that he wasn't a Trigger as Hookwolf hadn't passed out for a few seconds as that was normal if somebody underwent a trigger, even near other people who had gotten powers that way.
And right now, he had been knocked back to the fight between Captain Nazi, the bomber, and the spider, who were all now looking at the two of them.
He was really happy that if his core wasn't damaged, Hookwolf was basically immortal as any damage to his metal did not matter.
"Hookwolf, what happened?" Captain Nazi asked the man who fought against the All-Star Squadron and the Justice Society stared down the woman wielding spiked wrecking balls as her main weapons. But there was something about her that screamed familiar to the Ubermensch, but he could not place it.
"A civilian chink turned out to be a Mage Type Parahuman and summoned this chick to his side, and she is strong," Hookwolf answered.
"If so, work with us, we comrades in arms against these Nazis," The Spider Bitch spoke, getting the attention of the muscled girl.
"…You are not allies of my Master," The girl spoke as her muscles tensed. "You are all his enemies… Eastern demon."
"Well, somebody is educated. You smell like a spirit yourself and divinity, so I should take you seriously." Spider Bitch said as her body changed further; the six spider legs that had been growing out of her legs started getting larger as even more mass came out of her back, and soon enough, the human skinsuit she seemed to wear was absorbed by the tauric spider monster, rather shocking Hookwolf as he hadn't fucking seen this shit before. "I am Jirai Gumo the Jorogumo, I know on point, but what is yours."
"You can just call me Berserker. AHHHHH!" The self-proclaimed Berserker roared, and for a brief second, Hookwolf felt fear as seemingly a primal part of his brain that was responsible for millions of years of survival was triggered as…
Squeels
A familiar sound of flesh being torn into pieces reached Brad's nonexistent ears. How he was able to talk, see, and hear as a walking pile of chains and hooks still befuddled the man, but he had seen people with weirder and non-sensical biology among X-Gene Parahumans.
But that wasn't the important thing; the important thing was that Berkserker had just disemboweled The ABB Suicide Bomber as the chink had tried and do his usual strategy of teleporting behind someone, leaving his clone behind, then teleporting again, leaving the clone to blow up along with the target.
Hookwolf hated to admit it, but it was an effective way of fighting with a power like that, but this time, step two of the plan had failed.
As the instant Oni Lee had appeared behind Berserker, she turned around and swiped the claws Hookwolf just noticed were on her hands through his stomach, tearing the man in half, his guts spilling out onto the pavement, the man dead on the spot from having his body torn in two through brute strength.
"Lee! You are fucking dead bitch!" The Spider Monster roared as the many legs skittered towards the woman.
"Hookwolf, we shall need to work together to deal with this new enemy," Captain Nazi spoke as they watched the two do battle.
"I thought that was what we were already doing," Hookwolf replied.

Penthesilea Pov:
The Queen of the Amazons was elated; she and other Servants had been so worried when Ritsuka, their Master, had vanished at the end of the battle.
But now she had been summoned to her Master's side, proving that she was his favorite Berserker… Though if Penthesilea was being honest with herself, there was probably something about this world that had chosen her as the best candidate to be called upon.
For this was clearly a different world that her Master had ended up in, apparently going by their brief mental communication before she had slain the man in the mask. This was a world of Superheroes and villains, with the four, now three, individuals before her being villains.
With two of them being Nazis.
Now, Penthesilea was not a good person; as the Queen of the Amazons, she had killed many battles in the name of her father, Ares. Many other Servants had committed grand acts of evil, but what had occurred during the war Human History called World War 2 was something that still shocked most of them.
It was not the persecution itself that was an issue; many Servants, especially Kings, had persecuted people of different faiths and sought to eliminate them. No, what disgusted Penthesilea and so many other Servants had been the methods; it was some of the most needless cruelty she had read about; if you wish to kill your enemies, just slay, do not…
She did not want to think about it anymore.
What the Berserker Class Servant wanted to do was crush the ones that still sought to do such evil onto the world, who wanted to do such evil upon her Master.
Such a thing was unforgivable, for Ritsuka Fujimaru was truly the greatest man that existed; he had been an ordinary boy who had saved Humanity many times over, a boy of no skill or great lineage who had done what only very few could do.
And that deserved the highest respect, the greatest amount of devotion, her unrelenting love, and these would take that away from all of them!
It could not be allowed!
"ARGGGH!" Penthesilea roared as her chain balls smashed into the surprisingly durable demon that had been the partner of the teleporter. Who was quite mad at her for killing him; she wondered if they had been lovers? But Penthesilea did not care; they were Master's enemy, and so they were to be elimi-
A fast collided with her face, knocking her into a building, much to the Servant's shock as the force behind it had been very unexpected.
And then a spinning ball of hooks, blades, and spikes slammed into her body, as it tried to grind her body into a pile of meat.
Or that was what would have happened if Penthesilea had been a creature made of flesh, but she was not. She was a Servant made from magical energy, and the ball of metal trying to grind her into a paste, despite their weird origin, was just made of mundane steel and iron, not a singular speck of what could be called 'supernatural' energies was contained within the mass of metal that was the weird villain that had tried to kill her Master.
So, to Penthesilea, it just felt like somebody was trying to massage her body, though she was rather annoyed by it. She didn't know how a creature made from hooks, metal, and blades functioned as an existence, but she could guess there was a core somewhere inside of the Nazi.
Not a heart, they clearly lacked such a thing both materialistic and metaphysically. "Raghhh!" Penthesilea roared as her hands grabbed hold of the ball of blades and drove her arms into it.
And she began to rip and tear.
"Raghhh!" The Berserker roared as her hands and claws ripped away layer after layer of metal away so she could get to the center, the Nazi was, of course, futilely trying to resist, but it could not escape her grasp as it tried to regenerate the metal that was being lost.
But it was not faster than her!
Penthesilea grinned as she looked upon the ball of flesh that existed within the center of the metal being.
And then she clenched.
Blood and viscera exploded from the meatball as the flesh turned into the mutilated corpse of a man who was no longer recognizable.
So it was some sort of shapeshifting ability. "Two remains," Penthesilea stated as she looked at the spider demon and the surprisingly strong Nazi, who was clearly the biggest threat of the two. 'Master permission to use my Noble Phantasm.'
'Permission granted'
"That should have shrouded you." The muscular man spoke.
"Unlike you, the metal furball lacked the ability to damage me, and because of that, you are a threat, and so I won't hold back," Penthesilea said as she drew on the pool of Mana that belonged to her Master, which actually felt much greater than usual, and the mana much more… potent. She would have to ask what had actually happened afterward, but for now, she had monsters to slay. "OUTRAGE AMAZON!" The True Name of her Noble Phantasm was spoken, and burning hot rage overtook her mind as over the form of her two opponents, the image of a certain Greek Hero was overlayed on top of them. "ARGGHHH! ACHILLEEESSS!"
And with that, she charged, the ground beneath the Berserker's feet exploding as she broke the sound barrier with a singular step, and so the Demi-god child of Area unleashed her full might upon the ones deemed her Master's enemies.
