Monsters Are On All Sides
1/3/1944, Super–Soldat Lab, Belgium
Max and Triton had been firing upon a tank that had come their way as Warrior Woman and the rest of them had went and fought, The Doc had been overturning tanks and as he had done so, Master Man had flown upwards and tackled him while Zarda had attacked Warrior Woman, an ax and a mace clashing against each other with full fury right about now as they had tried to use their full force right now.
The two of them pushing against each other right about now as they had seen that there was a man in some sort of metal suit there who had went and fired missiles towards them and that had made some of the Invaders take cover or stop the attacks as the man had glared towards them, “Du wirst aufhören, oder du wirst fallen!(You will cease or else you will fall!)” The man had shouted towards them.
Seeing that, Maximus really wished that they had Namor there as he had seen things there before deciding that he had went and started up the car to drive forward, as he had done as much, Maximus had started to search, reading the enemy minds when he had seen that there was a person inside of there, “Unglaublich! Ich glaube, ich muss dich wie eine Zwiebel schälen!(Incredible! I think that I need to peel you like an onion!)”
Maximus had laughed towards him now and as he had done so, the machine had aimed his machine gun towards him and opened fire, hitting him in the hip now, but he didn’t register the pain right now as Zarda had went and grabbed him, “Maximus! Calm down!” She had snapped towards him as he had went and aimed a pistol at her head, smiling at her with his eyes wide, Zarda had been surprised, pausing at that–
When he had fired at the soldier that was behind her, “Okay.” he had said, as quiet and as calm as the dead before The Power Princess had gotten up and charged towards Warrior Woman again as they were all engaged right now as they had continued the fight against The Super–Soldats, “Come on, Invaders!” Joseph had shouted as they fought the good fight.

1/3/1944, HYDRA Fortress, Krähennest Thal
Phaeder had been walking the line of corpses that were there, some of them were from his experiments on Terrigen while the others were more along the lines of Werner and what he had done, it was a sight that he was growing quite used to as Phaeder had went and started to pick up a few more samples when he had seen that there was a few more that were coming in.
Taking a breath, he had went and headed to another before noticing that there was something very interesting, one of the stone corpses was moving, curious at that, he had went and knelt down, it was a woman, pregnant, when he had noticed that it was coming from the womb which was making him smile as Phaeder had went and drawn a knife now and carefully started to cut it open.
Watching, he had seen how a little claw had pushed out now, it had made him smile ever wider as he had went and pulled out the baby, it had been crying now as he had seen that there was vast mutations on the child, they had fours arms and three toes that were nubs, almost clawed, taking a breath, he had started to clean the ash and saw how there was a pale skin that had spines there.
Seeing it, he had smiled at the sight, “Du wirst herrlich sein.(You are going to be glorious.)” he had told the child that he had seen was a boy, thinking that Maelstrom would benefit from a little brother/enforcer right now as he had went and started to clean the child, “Doktor,(Doctor,)” The soldier that had seen him had said, approaching, “Was machen Sie mit diesem Wesen?(What are you doing with that creature?)”
Hearing that, The Soldier had nodded before going and walking away before he had seen that there was something interesting, that the child had seemed to be giving off an energy which had made him grin at that, “Edra scheint ein guter Name für Sie zu sein.(Edra seems like a good name for you.)” he had told the child with a smile as he had went and brought him to his lab now.

1/3/1944, The Royal Palace, Ryūgū-jō
Auran had been kneeling before Immortal Naga who had been watching her with some curiosity before he had went and spoken with Nammu translating, “Immortal Naga has stated that you will now be assisting with the attacks against the enemy.” she had told them and hearing that, Auran had bowed towards him, “This one is grateful for the opportunity.” she had responded.
Nammu had repeated, making Naga smile before he had spoken, “Immortal Naga says that I will assist with the raiding of their cargo vessels.” she had told Auran who had grinned, “So be a pirate? I always wanted to after Attuma told me about that.” she had said, making Nammu repeat the essentials to their leader who had grinned, “Immortal Naga says good, you will begin the hunt soon.”

As they had swam away now, the two of them had been heading towards one of the armories that was nearby when they had seen that there was some of the soldiers smiling towards them and nodding while Nammu had spoken, “So then, how are we going to do this… raiding?” she had asked, making Auran think on that before having an idea, “Do your people have any Sea Monsters?” she had asked.
“Oh, we’ve got a few,” Nammu had told her, making a shrill whistle which had made a few large roars happen now which had made Auran flinch, spooked by that as she had seen that it was a large purple creature, tentacles circling around its head as the creature had been restrained, “We have a few more, but will this do?” Nammu had asked of Auran who had grinned, “Oh, this will do.” she said, already having a plan.

1/10/1944, Japanese Waters, Pacific Ocean
The supply ship had been moving right now as they had proceeded to head towards Hydra Island, all of them watching and keeping and eye out for American or Japanese troops when there was a noise, a loud moan that had but them all on guard right now as they had seen there was something that was odd, there were the tendrils of a beast rising up now towards them.
Reacting the HYDRA soldiers and sailors had went and opened fire upon the tentacles as they had started to latch onto the ship, unaffected by anything it had seemed as they had seen that there were some green skinned men that were crawling up the tentacles now with spears and wearing armor now, “[Kill them all!]” they had shouted as Auran had went and hopped off as well.
She had went full beast, snarling towards the humans there as she had leapt forward, her maw clenching down and into the flesh of one of them, she had torn a chunk out before going and throwing a few throwing knives towards another and killing them, the woman snarling as she and the others had started to rush in through the the ship now with a grin as Auran had kicked another down.
“Tötet die Fischmenschen! Tötet sie alle!(Kill the fish men! Kill them all!)” one had shouted before Nammu had grabbed at him and threw him into the water where the large maw of the creature had appeared now, going and eating the one that was screaming while they had continued to go and slaughter whoever they were able to find right about now in the vessel.
______________________________________________________________________
As they had finished up, having slaughtered each and every soldier and sailor that was in there before Nammu had shouted, “[Sink the ship! Leave nothing for them!]” she had commanded towards them, making The Lemurians cheer at that, a first successful mission, it was good and now they were to return and prepare for the continued hunt on their enemy, a pirates life for them for now at least.

1/12/1944, SSR Office, Boston
Maximus had no idea why he had been called here to The States with the information in question, did they want him to search for a mole? Was there an issue with The Invaders? He had no idea right now as Maximus had looked towards his pills, but they had been taken, something about not needing a Mage, it was concerning for him as he had walked into the office in an American Military Uniform.
“Max Bolt, correct?” the man at the desk had asked, making Maximus smile, “If you want to butcher my name, yes.” he had said towards the man who had chuckled at that, “My name is Colonel Walker Price,” he had explained, offering his hand towards Maximus who had taken it, “Is there some sort of issue with The Invaders or do you assume–?” “Relax, Mister Bolt.” The Colonel had said towards him.
That had made Maximus curious as Price continued, “A woman will be entering, Gail Richards, I want you to make sure that she complies with what we are requesting.” he had said towards the Inhuman and that had made him curious but nodded, “Okay, so what is this about?” he had asked, “All you need to know is that it’ll be amusing to you.” He had said and hearing that, Maximus grinned.
At least until he had caught himself, clearing his throat at that, “I’ll get into position.” he had asked, making Price nod at that as he had motioned for him to be behind the chair across the desk, at attention with another soldier, they had waited as a red haired woman had walked in, “Hello, Dr. Price.” she had said, making Max raise an eyebrow as he had opened the file up now.
“Thank you for coming back to us, Miss Richards.” He had said towards, “And depending upon your perception, but we had checked and the pregnancy test cam back positive.” he had said, making Maximus all the more confused, “Your baby is due in The Spring.” he explained, making her visibly pale, “Oh God.” she had said as Price had bridged his fingers, “Now everyone appreciates the delicacy of this situation.”
That had made him curious at that, “It’s as bad for us as it is for you. After all we have the reputation of Captain America to consider.” Price continued, making Maximus start to understand why he had been brought here, “S–So what are you going to do?” Gail had said towards them, nervous at everything now, “The department has decided that the best course of action would be moving you to a safehouse.” he had said.
“Naturally , you’ll be paid for any inconvenience and an appropriate family has already been selected for adoption of the baby.” Price had said towards the woman who had been shocked at the sound of it it seemed, “Adoption?” she had asked of Price who had simply smiled, “Be a smart girl, Gail.” Price had told her, “We all have to be rational about this.” he had told her, making Gail scared.
“I don’t– Why would–?” “Mr. Bolt.” Price had said and hearing that, Maximus had grinned, liking the sight of that as he had went and stood in front of her and lifted her chin up, “Comply.” he had said with his eyes glowing purple now and that had made her face start to go slack now and that had made Price smile behind him while Maximus had started to do something that had made sane him hate himself.

As he had went and started to get everything packed while his clothes were being changed now, Walter Price had walked into the room provided and smiled, “You are… quite convincing.” he had said towards Maximus who had went and started to turn towards him, having taken his medication and furious, “If you ask me for anything like this ever again… I will make you forget the feeling of pleasure.” he had said.
That had made the man smile at that as he had went and offered a paper towards him, “You should know that if you reveal anything that had happened, we will–” “Kill me?” Maximus had asked of him which had made Price chuckle at that, “No, we’ll see how you tick and then we’ll make an army of you, understood?” he had asked of Maximus who had read the paper before taking a pen.
“Crystal.” he had said towards Price, going and signing it now which had made the soldier smile, “Thank you for your assistance, Prince Maximus.” He had said towards him before taking the file and walking away, the action making maximus sigh at that as he had went and started to get ready to leave and promise to himself that he was never working for The SSR again after the second World War.

1/12/1944, HYDRA Fortress, Krähennest Thal
The Inhuman had been carving and carving and carving but right about now, the scientist had went and started to get to work on some new subjects that were there before he had seen that there was something that had made him odd, there was some samples from the parents of Edra and as he had done so, the man saw that there were markers, degraded markers, that had belonged to Attilan.
“Now aren’t YOU interesting?” he had thought to himself as the scientist who had went and started to pull apart a few other samples before he had smiled and hen went to think about a few more before realizing that there was a problem now, a BIG problem which had made him go and start to take his files and began to separate the information that was too dangerous for them to know about.
Seeing that everything was separated, he had memorized and destroyed everything that had made the HYDRA realize that they had a way to make more like him, sighing, Phaeder had went and walked back into his bloodied lab and wondered how he would be able to turn their genetics into a virus so that Inhumans would be the ones to inherit the world.

1/17/1944, Ryūgū-jō, Pacific Ocean
Auran had been following Nammu who had been heading towards the outskirts, as she had watched, curious of it all, the secrecy, how she had never appeared to stay the whole night as she had vanished, usually making an excuse of being with The Beasts or stocking on the supplies for them to advance the technology, so now Auran had went to see where exactly her captor was going.
Eventually, they had arrived at a camp and this one had people that had appeared more like Auran, unlike The Lemurians though, they had scaled clothing and more ancient greek like armor which had made her curious as she saw that Nammu had been approaching one that had a cloak and some sort of spear that had some sort of energy that was in there which had made Auran curious.
“Do you have new information?” the man had said towards Nammu, “Yes, we’re acquiring weaponry from HYDRA and they had begun to advance weaponry.” she had said and hearing that, Auran had been a bit shocked by that, Nammu was a spy it had seemed and that had made Auran a bit spooked, “What are you?” a voice asked behind her and on instinct, she had turned, claws at the ready now.
The blue skinned man there had went and stabbed into her shoulder, making Auran groan in pain towards that as more blue skinned men had started to come in with weapons at the ready now, “Who are you? You will die–!” “Stop!” Nammu had shouted as she had approached, “It’s the woman that had been working as a privateer for Naga.” she had explained towards them now.
That had made the Blue Skinned men all look towards her before the one that had seemed to be the leader had spoken, “Is she a possible leak?” the man had said towards Nammu who shook her head at that, “She’s loyal to her own country, she is using The Lemurians to hunt down and kill a traitor to their country.” she had said towards them which had made the man think at that.
The leader had went and approached her, “My name is Opistho.” he had said towards her, “And if you align with us, we will help you hunt down your prey.” he had said towards her and hearing that, Auran had looked towards them with a bit of caution before she had spoken, “What do you want?” she had asked, knowing that there was an advantage to working with them as Opistho had spoken to him now.

1/18/1944, Big Ben, London
Triton had been waiting in some water that he had been waiting in, The Needle being taken and outfitted with some Allies Tech when he had seen that there was maximus walking in and as he had done so, the cousin had smiled towards him and approached when he had seen that he had a haunted look on his face, one that had made him pause in confusion towards that.
“Maximus!” Zarda had shouted, having come with him as some extra security, “How was your trip?” she had said before seeing him in a gray suit and a haunted look, “What’s wrong?” she had asked of him and that had made Maximus think and think before he had sighed, “It’s classified.” he had explained towards them, making Zarda annoyed, “Who summoned you?” she had asked.
“Classified.” he had continued, making both of them confused at that, “Is there anything that you can tell us?” Triton had asked towards Maximus who had went and sat down before taking three pills and popping them in, “Classified.” he had snapped towards them now which had made them all look towards each other and get a bit worried at the intake when there was a noise.
It was a file that had been offered towards him from the soldier that had marched in, “Your payment for the mission.” the man had said, making all of them shocked at that while he had glared towards him but took it, “Classified.” he had said before any could speak, making them all wonder what it was to cause such a reaction from the Inhuman now which had made them all the more cautious now.

1/19/1944, Terrigen Lab, Attilan
Vinatos had been walking through his lab, making sure that the Terrigen Crystals that had been cultivated and gathered had made him relieved at least as the Inhuman had went and pulled out a few files, at least until he had noticed that there was Arkadine who had been inside of his lab right now looking over some old files that he had on hand, “Arkadine, can I help you?” he had asked of The Councilmember.
Hearing that, Arkadine Arcadius had went and showed the file in question, “How is someone with an allergy to Terrigen Crystals able to go through Terrigenesis.” he had said and hearing that, the Surgeon had taken a breath at that, “The most likely conclusion is that it was because of the father since he was not an Inhuman.” he had explained towards the man who seemed interested.
“And the father… he was a Changeling, correct?” she had asked, making the man nod at that, “It is correct, he was the only Changeling to come to the island and who had attempted to come here again.” she had said and hearing that, the man had sighed, “So then, is she a Changeling as well?” he had asked of Vinatos who had taken a deep breath right about now as they had seen that there was someone else.
It was one of the guardsmen who had been brought in by the Genetic Council, “Yes, it appears that there is a high chance that she is a Changeling as well.” he had told Arkadine who had sighed at that, “And you didn’t–?” “There is no genetic disease in her body that would harm us, she is loyal to Attilan and there is no desire to reproduce at this time.” he had explained towards Arkadine who had paused a that.
He had sighed before motioning for the guard to leave, “Very well then,” he had said towards Vinatos, “I expect every file that you have on Changelings on my desk soon.” he had warned, “And if I discover that you have left anything out, you will be punished.” he had explained towards Vinatos, glaring towards him now which had made the surgeon take a deep breath before nodding.
“Understood, sir.” he had said towards him and hearing that, the two of them had went and walked away while Vinatos had started to think on the fact that he now had to deal with the fact that The Genetic Council was going to be a danger for her now and that had made him worry that Auran would be safe in the future right now, but there was a very high chance that trouble would come her way.
