Lost Friends
2/1/1944, Genetics Lab, Austria
The Invaders had been fighting against some of the rejects and monsters that were there, Namor and Zarda at the front when they had seen that there was a creature that had appeared to be a cross bea monstrous version of Namor, “What the Hell is that–?!” Zarda had shouted as the created had charged towards The Atlantean, “Who the Hell made that thing?!” Spectrum had shouted to the others.
Hearing that, Triton had slashed at another reject, “Maybe we should have–?” “He’s still in London, and besides, he’s too dangerous right now!” Skymax had said to Gwen as they had went and started to push forward, Randall and some of the other remaining soldiers there had been starting to head towards one of the rows that was there before they saw the man in question.
He was a pale thing, deprived of any color, enough to make them think he was one of the undead as his crimson eyes had looked towards them all, sighing, “How the Hell did you all get in here?” he had asked of them, making the group realize that he was English right now as he had went and started to walk, “Greycrow!” he had shouted in the air, “Looks like we’re leaving.” he had said to the air.
That had made them confused at that before they had noticed that there was a soldier that had made Triton surprised, looking at him in shock, “John Greycrow? What are you–?” he had started to ask when Union Jack had moved tackle him out of the way now and as he had done so, the Native American appearing to have a gun of a unique designed aimed and fired towards them.
“Who the Hell is that?!” Brian had asked as the two kept an eye on him, “He’s a member of the 107th, apparently he was executed for murder.” he had told him before seeing that the strange creature had attacked Namor and The Torch again with anger, “RAAAGH!” He had shouted towards them all and that had made them move to see if there was more when they noticed that Greycrow was gone.
Seeing that, they had looked to the others, “Randall! Find them!” Triton had shouted as Joseph had went to fly after him, Skymax taking care of the rest of the rejects as Zarda had rushed in, her ax on hand with a spear when someone had shot her in the helmet, knocking it off with the force as she had looked towards the hall where some soldiers were running off to.
“Bitte tötet uns nicht! Wir ergeben uns, wir ergeben uns!(Please don't kill us! We surrender, we surrender!)” one of them had shouted as they had started to drop their weapons in worry now, “Randall! We;ve got some more prisoners here!” she had shouted as there was a bright flash of fire now, making the The Utopian get worried, “Namor! Jim!” She had shouted to the pair.
“We’re good here!” Jim had shouted, still on fire as they had went and started to come over to them, “Whatever that thing was, it had burned itself out, HARD.” he had said towards her, making Zarda smile at that as they had went and started to move now, cautious of everything and as they had done so, the Invaders had looked around at everything and sighed at everything there.
The Invaders had looked around at everything, they had been battle scarred and bruised now, The Soldiers and Invaders only a small percentage of the supers that were running around now and they were only one of them, “Let’s start heading back.” She had said to them before sitting down to take a small break, the woman smiling at them all, glad that they had survived it all.

2/1/1944, Lab, HYDRA Island
Auran had woken up now and as she had looked everywhere, the Inhuman had realized two things, one, that nearly everyone that had been there had died, and two, that she and Nammu had been restrained while a bald man had looked towards them, “Hallo, welche Sprache sprechen Sie?(Hello there, what language do you speak?)” he had asked of them while they had glared towards him.
“Deutsch?(German?) 日本語？(Japanese?) English?” he had asked of them, “Français?(French?) Wenn Sie nicht antworten, fange ich einfach an zu schneiden.(If you don't answer I'll just start cutting.)” he had said and hearing that, they had both glared before Nammu spoke, “Werner Schmidt didn’t break me, you won’t.” she had said and hearing that, the man smiled.
“Ah, English, I need practice so good.” he had said and hearing that, they had both glared, “So you are the one that had made those Unterwassermenschen(Underwatermen) that he had been making before you put his brain in a jar.” he had said and hearing that, Auran had looked, impressed, “Did he deserve that?” Auran had asked, making his smile brighter.
“Ah! So you both know English! Good!” he had told them before going and preparing a array of tools, “You will tell me where your respective kingdoms, and I will make this painless, resist, and I will use the glove.” he had told them, making the pair confused at that, “The glove?” Nammu had asked as they had seen that there was a glove on his hand now that had claws which made them cautious.
“We need only one, so I think a demonstration is needed.” he had said and hearing that, the two of them had glared, each of them at the ready as they had noticed that there was a crackling of electricity, “And if you kill one of us, we’ll be more aggressive towards you.” she had said and hearing that, the man had chuckled, “Very well, you both can live.” he had said to them.
That had relieved the pair, “But not before I have a taste.” he had said before going to graze Auran’s face, the electricity arching through her veins, underneath her skin which had made her flesh start to burn as he had continued to feed, “Delicious.” he had said towards her which had made Auran snarl, “Choke… on… it!” she had told him now, making the man chuckle at her defiance.
That had made him chuckle at that, “You taste like an endless banquet.” he had told her, “And you–” Wolfgang had said before going and starting to devour her, shorter than Auran, but it had made him smile, “Seafood.” he had told her, making them both angry towards him when they had begun to notice that there was nothing too bad right now as he had started to walk back.
“So then, are we going to be finishing this course, or will you ladies comply with my questions?” he had asked of them which had made them both glare at that as they had went and started to get ready for whatever he had planned, “Let us start with your raids against my ships.” he had said and hearing that, Auran had spoken, “How long do you have?” Auran had asked, making Wolfgang smile, “I will enjoy this.”

2/4/1944, London, England
Maximus had been in a chair with a helmet on, apparently they had discovered that there was an alloy that had allowed thoughts to not be read, he couldn’t hear anyone, and he couldn’t control anyone, it was annoying to say the least as The Inhuman had picked up a glass and took to drinking when he had seen that Phillips was coming in, looking at the man that was once on their side.
Maximus had done many things for The Allied Forces, he had read their enemies thoughts, he had been a part of The invaders, and he had done things that he wasn’t proud of, but right now? After what they had him do to that poor woman, after he had been forced to enter the mind of so many with such cruel and wrong thoughts, they had started to take route, started to tear out his mental defenses.
The longer he had done it, the less the pills took affect and he had become something else, he had become Maximus The Mad once more, “I want you to do a job for me.” he had said, making The Inhuman sigh towards him, “And I want to rule the world in the clouds with a green mist to blanket the world and put normal to sleep.” he had told Phillips who had sighed at that before going and dropping a paper.
“Sign this.” he had said towards him, making Maximus confused at that, going and reading it over and seeing that, he had been curious, “So you’re going to let me go when The war’s over?” he had asked and hearing that, Phillips nodded, “Yes, sign that, and make sure the Nazi sumbitch in the next room isn’t lying, and we’ll give you back to Triton after all of this.” he had explained.
That had made him grin towards him before giggling, and then laughing, laughing and laughing and laughing towards him, “Okay.” he had said now with a blank face, fingers laced as he had looked towards the Colonel, “I will do it, please make sure that Robbie or Jim are ready to kill me is I try anything.” he had said before smiling towards the man as he had almost looked like a predator now.
Chester had nodded at that as they both went and started to move now, the Inhuman had seen that there was a few soldiers and Jim there, “Come on, Max.” he had said towards them and hearing that, the Inhuman had smiled as he had pulled out a key, “Let’s get to work.” he had told them and hearing that, they had started to move as Phillips was handed a Steak Dinner to give the man.
______________________________________________________________________
“He appears to not be lying.” he had said and hearing that, Phillips had nodded, “Good to hear, Max.” he had said, making Maximus smile at that as both of them had started to walk down the hall, “Good to hear.” Phillips had said as he had smiled, “Have fun!” Max told them as they had went and started to move him, Zarda waiting at the door with the helmet that she had offered to him.
As soon as Maximus had taken it and walked away, the Utopian and looked to the colonel and his team, “We’re at the ready, just let me get The Invaders.” she had said and hearing that, The Colonel nodded, “Get them rounded up, we need to be ready for everything.” he had said as she and Jim walked away, walking past the guards all fifteen feet away from their comrades cell.
“I’ll go and do that, why don’t you go and see your Seaman?” Jim had asked with a smile, making Zarda give a small smile at that as the pair of them had went to split up, the team had been working together for a while now, they knew when they were ready and when they wanted to see their loved ones, and taking whatever time that they needed cause they never knew how long they had.

2/4/1945, SSR Base, London
The Invaders had all been at the ready as they had watched the scene go down, Montgomery looking at everything that was there and the Invaders what plan they were working on before Steve spoke, “Why not?” he had asked, making them all look at him, “That’s exactly what we’re going to do.” The Super Soldier had told them, making the group all at the ready for whatever was gonna happen.

2/5/1945, HYDRA Weapons Facility, The Alps
Zarda with Jim and Namor had been at the ready, buried underneath some of the snow that was at the entrance, as they had looked towards everything that was there before there was a voice in their minds, “Time to go go go!” Maximus had said towards them and hearing that, Zarda had gotten up now, the cold starting to fall off as Jim had started to burn the hinges, of the entrance of the first gate.
“Eindringlinge am Tor! Töte sie!(Invaders at the gate! Kill them!)” one of the Germans there had shouted when The Utopian and Atlantean had started to tear, going to take the two doors off of them now before they had started to rush forward as shields when the rest of the Assault team had started to come in now and as they had done s, Zarda had tossed the door to a few others.
The warriors had went and started to head towards the door when they saw the charges blow, “Namor, Jim, let’s deal with the Supers.” she had said and hearing that, the two of them had nodded as they had went and started to ready their movement towards some of the armored frames that were there, hurrying to deal with them as they had started to deal with them, Namor going to tear off a arm.
As he did so, Jim had started to burn through everything that was there there to make them start to move away while Zarda had went full force, having brough one of her favorite Axes as she had went and severed a few limbs to do so and as it had done so, she saw that there was a tank there as well as four more of them which had made the three of them smile as they had charged forward.
Namor had tackled one of the armored men there into another, smashing them and destroying the pair of them and as they had seen that, Jim had went full fire and as he had done so, The Man had went and started to glow as bright as a star now, so hot he had been starting to melt the nearby metal while Zarda had readied to deal with the tank as she had leapt forwards, striking the turret.
As Power Princess had done so, the woman had looked around at everything before she had the weapon embedded before going to smash a hole in to hit the pilot there, getting them disorientated hopefully before she had went and primed a grenade before shoving it inside and leaping away from it, destroying the tank before they had all started to look around before they had started to move.
______________________________________________________________________
The Invaders had rushed in and as they had done so, The Invaders had seen how much damage that was there, making the three of them a bit surprised before they had went and started to rush forward, all of them had started to prepare at that as they had noticed that there was some firing at them, “Move out!” she had shouted as Jim flown upwards to cut a swatch of fire while Namor charged.
Seeing that, Zarda had looked at her ax before she had went and grabbed as a gun that a HYDRA soldier dropped and aimed it to shoot at a few of them, hitting as many as she could as a car had zoomed by, turning to watch it, she had been surprised as that there was such a nice car there before hearing the sound of someone hitting Jim, “Jim!” She had shouted, hoping that Skymax, Toro and Skymax would be ready.
______________________________________________________________________
The three of them had started to move after The Valkyrie, not wanting to get any of the fighters inside the chance to escape, as they had followed afterwards, there was a noise as they saw that Cap was in the hangar that was closing, “We’re backing him up only, understood?” he had asked Toro as Skymax had flown closer towards the vessel to see that one of the turrets there was aimed towards them.
“Move!” Spectrum had shouted as he had created a shield, protecting him and Toro while Skymax had started to shrink down and as he had done so, appearing more like a cross between a bat and a cat, he had begun to crawl, looking around at everything there before he had went and headed towards one of the smaller hatches down before only to see that a fighter was being lowered now.
Skymax!” “On it!” The Skrull had shouted as the man from the stars had started to grow and become more akin to a dragon as he had attacked it the moment that it had dropped, the pilot now in but still he had torn it apart to be sage as Toro had moved forward, “I got the next one!” he had shouted towards Spectrum, “Toro!” he went, but it was too late as the young man shot forward.
The three of them had begun to move when there was a blast from the Valkyrie, hard enough that the shockwave had started to knock them away and as Toro had started to fall, Skymax unconscious, Spectrum had to make a choice, either save them or follow the Valkyrie, seeing them all, he had decided that Cap could take care of himself, but those two needed help as he had shot downwards to catch them now.
Creating a bowl to hold them, Spectrum had looked and seen that the vessel had vanished now and that he made him look around before sighing, “Alright, we’re heading back.” he had told them, not knowing where they had gone and as he had looked towards the Weapons Facility and hoping that they were alright over there right now with a it of anticipation right about now.
______________________________________________________________________
They had been dealing with the men that were there, all of HYDRA in Europe had been dealt with while The Howling Commandos and Peggy Carter had been heartbroken as they had started to come to the realization that Captain America was dead now, taking a breath, Zarda and the others had all gathered around a circle right about now when they had seen Montgomery come in.
“Cap’s MIA.” he had told them, “HYDRA’s Dead here, but The Reich is still around, so we need to keep going.” he had told them all and hearing that, The Invaders had started to look at hi with confusion and anger, “You can get angry later.” he had told them, “But we still need to move.” he had told them all and hearing that, the group had started to get up and at the ready now.
“Where to next?” Namor had asked and hearing that, Montgomery had started to smile, “We’re going after my brother's friends.” he had said and hearing that, Zarda recalled them right now, “Pluto and Romulus.” The Woman had said towards him as they had their targets now, now they had just needed to get a move on and hopefully they would be able to make the war end all the sooner.

2/12/1945, Hydra Island, Pacific Ocean
Auran had a leash on and was restrained with some spikes in her palms and feet while Nammu had started to struggle with the new liquids that had been put in when they had seen that there was a soldier running in now, “Commander Strucker! Wir haben eine Nachricht von der Europäischen Division erhalten!(Commander Strucker! We have received a message from The European Division!)”
That had made the two of them look towards each other as the man had snarled, “Nein… Nein Nein Nein!(No… No No No!)” he had shouted out and hearing that, the two of them were confused at that as Strucker had sighed, “Es sieht so aus, als wäre ich endlich von diesem verdammten Red Skull befreit worden,(It looks like I had finally been relieved of that blasted Red Skull,)” he had said towards them.
“Aber ich habe auch den Tesserakt und die daraus entstandenen Waffen verloren.(But I have also lost The Tesseract and the weaponry born from it.)” The German had said towards him and hearing that, the two of them had looked towards each other right about now as they had went and started to prepare for whatever was going to be happening right about now.
“Ich denke, wir sollten mit demjenigen beginnen, der heilen kann. Ich muss meinem Frust Luft machen.(I think that we should start with the one who can heal, I need to vent my frustration.)” he had said towards them and hearing that, Auran had started to glare before she had went and gotten ready, knowing that there was a chance that this would be painful when Nammu laughed.
That had shocked them both at that, looking towards her as The Atlantean had grinned at them, somehow already out of the container, “What’s so funny?” Auran had asked of Nammu who had grinned before she had went and put her fingers to her lips, whistling at such a high tone that they had all started to look at Atlantean who had seemed confidant right about now with what had happened.
“Soll mir das Angst machen oder…?(Is that supposed to scare me or…?)” he had started when there was a crash from above, making them see how there was a large webbed claw that had been through it, making German pull a pistol while Nammu had rushed to Auran, tearing off the spikes, “We need to run, now.” she had told her and hearing that, The Unhuman had torn the collar from the wall.
Both of them had started to run now, having mapped through everything that was there, glad for their respective recollections when they had started to reach the docking bay, seeing that there was a few soldiers there, “Stopp–!(Halt–!)” a soldier had shouted before a Lemurian had come upland stabbed at them both now with a blade before he had dropped them into the water.
Seeing that, they had both been relieved, glad even when they saw that there was an escape, both of them going and leaping into the water and as they had been submerged and freed, glad for it and not seeing how there was someone watching and following after them to see where exactly they were going and how they were going to be dealing with whatever was down there.
