Operation Ancient Evil Ch. 6 (continued)

Hannah sighed as she walked forward “now don’t be so rude to my father hazle, you see him along with some others have been reborn into this world all thanks to him, and now e can have our revenge on this world. There will be no stopping us and neither will that wretched husband of yours.” She held out her hands as her scythe started forming made of darkness as she held it “now, there is one way you live, tell me where he is now.”

Dormmamu pointed the dagger at agent Y “the same goes for you as well, tell me where the inhuman is, where is Pyromaniac.”

At that moment the entrance of the theater exploded as Jackal came in on his motorcycle as he stopped and rolled off pointing his machine gun “alejarse de ellos!”

The roof of the theater also exploded right above the stage as armanhammer came down, as he came down he pulled out two pistols and aimed and started shooting below at the enemies, he landed on the stage as he kept firing at the enemies.

Jackal started firing as well making sure not to hit his friends, the enemies started scattering as they started shooting out projectiles and the theater was in chaos as balls of fire flew around or of dark energy along with bullets and.

Armanhammer quickly dropped the pistols as they ran out of ammo and ran to the chairs and destroyed the binds with his fire and had them get off the stage “John get them out of here!” he heard footsteps as he looked to side as he saw Pierce running at him holding a sword, he quickly turned as he moved to side and dodged the swing as he threw a punch at his face and kicking his side. He followed up with a kick and sending him into the chairs in the audience.

Hannah jumped and brought down her scythe aiming at his head but missed as he dodged the attack, as she was about to pull out her scythe she watched a fist on fire coming at her which hit stomach as it kept following. She was sent towards the back of the stage as she made a hole in the wall and crashed into the alley, she scrambled to her feet and started running as she disappeared into the darkness.

Armanhammer ran out of the same hole as he looked around “Hazle, let's go” he started his bike as he waited for Hazle to get on behind him “hold on” he punched it as they were off.

Jackal lead agent Y out the front as he punched the gas and they were off going back towards SHIELD “Estas bien?”

“Yeah I’m fine thanks for coming, and we can’t go back, they need our help turn around now.”

“Pero necesitamos to head back to SHIELD and tell them que esta pasando, no puedemos ir sin ellos” he punched the gas as they started making their way back.

Meanwhile, armanhammer kept driving the motorcycle through traffic as he headed towards lower Manhattan “we gotta get away as far as possible if go to SHIELD they’ll be waiting for us there.”

“Right, but where are we gonna hide out, we should call SHIELD shouldn’t we?” She held on to her husband and looked around as they started arriving into lower Manhattan and out of the freeway and onto the streets through the center of lower Manhattan and going around cars. As they made their way towards an intersection with a large hill side going down  ahead she looked back she noticed a figure coming at them faster than a person and noticed it was Hannah “here she comes!”

“Hold on!” as he punched and they were about to make a sharp turn he watched a blast of energy was sent out and hit them in the side exploding on impact as he was sent off the bike and held onto Hazle as he looked out seeing Hannah charging at them and as his back hit the road and he quickly let go of Hazle and was tackled by Hannah.

People around were taken by surprise and some panicked from the explosion and started running watching as the two rolled down the hill and the other girl rolling down as well. Hazle stopped as she crashed into a parked car and groaned as she had bruises and looked back as she watched her husband rolling down with the enemy.

Armanhammer was able to get to his feet pushing Hannah back a little “Hazle hide!” he uppercutted her under her jaw, as he was about to send another attack he felt her tackle him again as he could hear his back crunched as he crashed into the street. They kept rolling down until they reached the bottom and back onto the flat surface.

Hazle made her way down quickly to see Armando and make sure he was while staying hidden, she watched and heard as cars screeched to a halt and people started shouting or screaming as they ran for cover inside the shops.

He rolled to his feet and looked back at a street sign as he grabbed it and ripped it out of the ground and swung it at Hannah “weak!” He hit her and knocked her down as he raised it up and stabbed it as he missed seeing her roll out of the way. He let go of the sign and jumped at her raising his knee and hitting her in the chest “pathetic!” as he landed he formed a dagger out of ice and dodged her scythe as she swung it at him and stabbed her in the back of her right shoulder. He ducked under another swing and stabbed her in her stomach region and leaving the dagger there “you're nothing but a failed lab experiment!” he followed up with an uppercut as he sent her stumbling back and spartan kicked her to the curve.

She chuckled as she sat up and started getting up “and yet I came out just right now didn’t I?” She stood up as she looked around “begin the attack!”

Pierce came out of the shadows charging through the cars as he flipped a few over, to the side a portal opened as a figure jumped out and landed on the car crushing it as he started running forward. He was soon followed by a figure who jumped off the roof and crashed into the ground as he rolled and started running forward. As they got close they stopped at Hannah's side and grinned while they were joined by one other bigger than the others as his eyes flared and he pulled off his hood and his mask looking exactly like Armando only older.

Pierce grinned as he looked at him “hello boy, did you miss us?”

Armando grit his teeth under his mask as he looked at them “like hell I did” he then noticed one last person swing down as his eyes widened a little “sam! What did they do to you?”

Hannah chuckled as she patted her sister's shoulder “why do you think we did something to her and not just joined by her free will?”

“Because she would never come down to fight be direct, she’d be in the distance sniping” he chuckled and looked at her “sorry looks like I know a whole lot more about your sister than you do.”

She growled and glared “shut up and die!”

He watched them started running at him as he stood there and got ready and avoided a whole bunch of their attacks as best as he could and returning the favor as he attacked back as hard as he could engulfing his hands on fire while knocking them back as he rolled to side avoiding a blast of energy. As he grabbed Pierce and smashed him into the ground he felt something stab him in the back.

Dimension X version of him pulled out his dagger and brought it down to his shoulder and threw him aside right into the older man he came in and kicked him in the chest down into the ground. While the battle raged on the white knight stood on top of the buildings as he looked down at the battle observing as they pushed the hero around beating him.

Hannah looked for an opening as she teleported in after she watched him hit into the air, she brought her scythe and swung it but watched as he blocked it, she tried pushing forward while keeping him distracted until an explosion happened to send him back as she watched Sam throw explosives.

Hazle watched from in an alleyway as she watched the battle wanting to run out and help but she’d never been able to stand up against them, not without any gear, she stayed quiet as she watched.

Armando crashed into a wall as he groaned as he got up and was breathing heavily a bit and looked at them as they walked closer.

“What's wrong, out of steam already boy? We’re not surprised, you may have beat us once but not this time, we’ve received the blessing of the white knight and are now stronger than ever, you don’t stand a chance” Pierce turned his hand into a large blade as he looked at him”prepare to meet your demise.”

He pulled out his sword and shook his head “as long as I’m still standing and breathing I won’t give up” he charged while holding his sword close and ran at them.

Meanwhile on the freeway SHIELD agents rolled down making their way as fast as possible while helicopters made their way just exiting out midtown Manhattan and Jackal rolled ahead on his bike while on communicator “y estás seguro that we should be heading this way then?”

“yeah , according to the locator agent armanhammer is in lower Manhattan and things aren’t looking pretty nasty, there are still innocent people in the area, we have to get them out of there now before anyone is hurt” agent Y put away her tracker as she looked back at the little convoy they had.

Pyromaniac was in a helicopter looking down at the vehicles making their way “we have to hurry, who knows how long he can hold up, if the reports are as they say then he’s in more than he bargains for, what he’s facing is no joke.”

Emily looked at him from her seat “I’m sure the boss can do it, besides he’s never been one for disappointment before. We can trust the boss to take care of this and I bet you when we get there it’ll all be taken care of before we arrive.”

Back at the battle Armando was being surrounded from all sides as he raised his sword as he clashed with Pierce and pushed him away only to be hit from behind and then have his arm grabbed and pulled to a side as he was punched in the side hard as felt it crack and shatter as he grit his teeth and kicked him away. As he was about to follow up he was swept off his legs and kicked down to the ground hard, as he looked up and saw a hand grab his head that raised him back up and felt himself being stabbed repeatedly by his clone. He raised his head and blasted fire into version x’s face which made him let go.  As he raised his sword once more he felt his shoulders get grabbed and thrown into the air losing his sword as he crashed back into the ground, as he was about the get up he saw a kick coming at him as the leg was covered in ice and hit him across the face so hard it shattered his face mask.

Hazle watched from the alley as her eyes widened in fear as she ran out “Armando!” she watched as her husband stumbled back from the hard kick and kept watching hopelessly.

He fell to his hands and knees and started getting up, as he did dimension x and  Pierce rushed with their swords as they cut him from the sides and Hannah knocked him back while Sam shot him with her pistol hitting his chest. She then quickly rushed forward and placed a satchel charge on his chest and rolled out of the way, the four enhanced beings combined their attack as they blasted him while the satchel exploded sending Armando into the air and down the street.

He crashed as he landed on a few cars and rolled onto the street as he lied there slowly getting onto his knees taking off the last remaining pieces of his broken mask and his eyes went normal again and he spat out blood. He watched Hazle rush to him and try helping him “hazle you have to get out of here…. it’s not safe.”

She shook her head “there's no way I’m leaving you to die! C’mon lets  get out of here SHIELD will be here soon to help, we have to run don’t be a hero Armando I beg of you, I don’t wanna lose you!"

He looked at her and gave her a small smile “and you won’t.... don’t worry honey.”

The enemies started walking forward as the brought out their weapons again and Hannah looked at her scythe which had his  blood “I’m going to enjoy this so much, and after you, it's your pathetic wife and then you're friends and last but not least the world!”

Armando pushed Hazel away gently as he got on one knee looking down as he clenched his fists while forming two swords of ice “never say that again about my wife and this is not your world and never will be….. you’ll never stop at one, I’ll take you all on!” He got up and turned around while swinging with his swords and clashing with the enemies blades.

Hazel watched as she backed up making sure not to get in the way.

He dodged the enemies attacks as he swung his swords to either block or attack them, he moved to the side as he dodged an explosive and gunshots as he looked at Sam, he rushed at her and knocked the guns out her hands while kicking her back “sorry pal, but take a rest you need it” he punched her in a certain area of her chest which knocked her out. He looked back as he blocked Hanna's attack and pushed her back.

“Stay away from my sister! You took my family away once you won’t do it again!” she swung her scythe once more but it was blocked and knocked out her hands as she looked back at him.

“It was never yours to begin with” he twirl kicked her to the ground and as she was getting up he brought his right leg back and basically soccer kicked her through a wall which came tumbling down on top of her. He looked back to parry another attack just in time as he quickly jumped up while bringing up his knee and hitting dimension x under his jaw and sending him back. As he landed back on the ground he threw up his swords and ignited his fist on fire as he punched him hard enough to crack his armor and send him back through a wall as well and following up with throwing fire which exploded. He looked back at Pierce and Hannah's father “well it's just us two now, care to surrender or do I have to put the dogs down once more?”

Pierce growled as he charged “curse you boy!” as he clashed with him he attacked without realizing as he watched his opponent disappear.

Armando appear behind him and kicked him behind his leg making him fall while spinning around with his sword and bringing it around to cut Pierce’s head clean off as he grinned and looked back “care to be next?” as he tackled his last opponent to the ground and brought up his sword to bring it down on his head he felt a jarring pain as he saw what looked like a spear made of light go through him. As he turned around while getting up he saw another one come at him which exploded on impact sending him back crashing into a car.

Hazle was in shock as she looked up the street to see someone walking forward in white armor as he held a sword, she looked at Armando who was 3 cars ahead of her “Armando get up, please! Let's get out of here now, SHIELD’s almost here!”

The white knight walked towards his target “I feel sorry for you Armando, I know about what's happened with you and the people of this world, the problem with loyalty to a cause is that the cause will always betray you. You try to fight for these people and hope to win when you really have no chance, you should've just let them die the first time 5 years ago.”

He looked up at the figure walking towards him wearing white armor “who are you and who sent you here? How do you know who I am or anything about me?”

“Where do you think you came from you fool, did you forget who you are? Do you think you were born?” He grabbed him and pulled him off the car “no, you were made and I’ve been sent here to kill you. I am the white knight and I’ve come to purify this world from all evil starting with you but by all means, show me just how much power you really have, and I must say good show before but now face an actual enemy” he threw him into the street and stepped back.

Armando coughed as he ignited his entire body “you dare challenge me! You will suffer eternal death!” He blazed into hellfire mode as he threw a punch as he felt something he tried to bring his fist back but couldn't and looked up to see the white knight grabbing his fist with ease.

The white knight sighed “what a shame, I expected more of a fight” he broke his arm without even trying and palm struck him so hard breaking all his bones in his chest. As he flicked him away which sent him into the air and crashing back down he looked down and started charging an attack as an orb appeared in his hands.

He gasped for air as he healed his injuries best as he could and stood up slowly “n-no way….” he heard his wife yelling his name over and over as he looked back to her as her face was covered in tears as he rushed towards them “get out of here now, you and Sam right now!”

“I'm not leaving without you! Now hurry!” She tried pulling her but then saw a bright light shine as it exploded brightly, she felt herself pushed to the ground and saw an ice dome being created around her “Armando!” the light showed through the dome as she could hear the outside as everything around her exploded and the ice cracked and she held on to Sam as she closed her eyes. After a few seconds it all stopped as she opened her eyes and looked around seeing the dome completely cracked, she scrambled to her feet and started hitting the dome as it broke apart and looked around “Armando!? Where are you!” She then saw the white knight holding a limp body of her husband as she cried out and started running towards them.

Armando looked into his eyes as he shivered in fear as he looked at him and was breathing quickly and felt himself be let go and crumple to the floor as he watched the white knight disappear and looked around seeing nothing as the building were all gone and reduced to rubble as he heard his names yelled and looked at Hazel who was running towards him.

Hazle slid as she got on her knees with her husband as she cried “Armando! Armando stay with me please don’t leave me, don’t die please!”

Sam came too as she gasped for air and quickly stood up “what the hell!? Happened I was knocked out and the-” she realized her surroundings as she looked around in horror and then heard the cries and then rushed over to hazle and stopped as her eyes widened as she looked at Armando whose suit was torn and pieces were missing and he had huge cuts on his face and his neck as he was bleeding almost everywhere as she quickly brought out her cell phone “I’ll call for help!”

He looked up at his wife as he felt her hand and locked finger with her “s-stay strong….. d-don't give up hazle and never lose f-faith…… kn-now that getting to meet you was the most amazing thing to ever happen to me in my life….. I l-love you so much.”

She cried as she held his hands tightly “no please don’t die Armando, please don't leave me! I need you, I can’t live without you, I just can’t! You're going to be all right now stay with me please!”

He gave a small smile as a tear formed and rolled down his cheek “d-do you really love me?”

“Yes, I love you! I love you so much Armando!” Her face was covered in tears as she looked at him and saw his eyes closing slowly.

“G-good cause I love you t-too…..” his eyes closed as he stopped breathing and his hand lost grip as his head rolled back.

Sam watched and turned around as she heard Hazle cry loudly, she kept herself from bursting into tears as well as she called.

SHIELD headquarters - NYC

Coulson looked at the large screen along with agent Simmons as they looked at the camera they were in lower Manhattan as everyone was almost freaking out at what just happened and he had Ms. O on the call as well. He looked at Ms. O from the M.I.B “we still have no idea what was the cause of all of this Ms. O, I had a squadron heading there right now and they should be able to give more details.”

Ms. O looked at him “we have to find out what happened, is it possible there was a nuke set off? Could this have been a terrorist attack or possibly Hydra or one of other many foes?”

Agent Simmons looked at them “it couldn't be a nuke and there’s been no activity that could prove hydra or anyone else behind this either, we’ve scanned the area multiple time and there's just no radiation detected. We have no idea what it was but all we can tell is that all of lower Manhattan has been reduced to rubble an-” she noticed another call coming in as she looked at it “sir it’s from Ms. Heart, you know part of unit 9.”

“Put it through now” he watched the screen as Ms. O remained quiet as well to see what was happening and what caused the death of thousands of lives. As he heard the call go through and looked at it “Ms. Heart what in the world is going on? Where are you and where is agent armanhammer? What caused the explosion?” he heard a bit of sobbing as he tilted his head “Ms. Heart?”

“H-he’s gone Coulson…. agent armanhammer is gone, emergency pick up is required, survivor's possibly zero….. it’s only me and Hazle.”

Ms. O listened as she entered the call as well “what do you mean he’s gone, I’d like to speak to agent armanhammer at this instant.”

“He's gone you idiot!”

Ms. O sat back taken by surprise at the sudden reply.

“Agent armanhammer is dead” her voice went through the speaker in the room as everyone stopped and looked up at the screen “I repeat agent armanhammer…. h-he’s dead….” with that the call ended.

Coulson looked at all the agents in the room and up at Ms. O and then at agent Simmons “get me doctor Pyromaniac.”

In the helicopter

Pyromaniac looked outside as smoked covered the air as he was getting reports of complete destruction and then noticed a call from  Coulson as he answered it “Coulson whats going on here, what are we dealing with exactly?”

Emily watched him speak and as she looked outside and then noticed his expression go from worried to the face of loss “doctor pyromaniac? What is it, what's happening?” As she heard him say the words she never thought she would her in her life she dropped her minigun as she was broken on the inside “A-Armando is dead?”
