Kill pseudo super soldier
Rewarded 1500 points and D rank reward
Lance smiled as the message played in his mind. Seems like Eve had dealt the final blow. With the death of the super soldier the battle wouldn’t last much longer.
“Good news?” Matt asked from across the room.
The two were in a bare stone room with only a desk and two chairs as furniture. The desk was covered entirely by Lance’s papers, the various documents he prepared for this movie.
“We should be hearing from the team soon” Lance said cheerfully “Eve killed the super soldier”
“Do you think this is the Marvel universe?” Matt questioned.
“It could be” Lance shrugged “If it is we have to be careful in this world”
“There is a lot of overpowered people in Marvel” Matt nodded
“Exactly” Lance said “God’s given us a lot to work with”
“What are you thinking?” Matt questioned
“The year is currently 1936” Lance said “Many of the heroes and mutants we know haven’t been born yet. Not to mention we can look into”
Lance was cut off as the watch on his wrist let out a beep. A new message appeared on the screen.
Team Peru has entered the movie.
Mission has changed.
Deliver the Ark of the Covenant to the U.S. Government. Rewards each member 4000 points and a C rank reward.
“That’s not good” Matt said
The smile on Lance’s face fell, this was not how he wanted things to go. The plan had been to prevent Indiana Jones from getting the medallion to prolong their time before team Peru entered. Either Jones got the amulet before a team member could or a team member holding the amulet counted towards Jones having it.
This was unfortunate, they had just finished transporting the newbies to Cairo. Lance had hoped to at least get the medallion and prepare to find the ark before team Peru arrived. They would need to speed up their plans. Skye was already in route to pick up Indiana and the medallion. Hopefully she’ll arrive before they encounter the enemy team.
“Lance” Elijah’s thoughts reached Lance and Matt “we have a change of plans”
In Dubai, Logan had joined the screaming match with Jones and Ravenwood concerning the medallion. As Logan shouted, Eve turned her attention to Elijah who was approaching with Louie and Dawn.
“Have you located team Peru?” Eve asked
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
“I got a glimpse” Elijah said “Their psyche user worked quickly. They’re currently on the other side of the city”
“Why would God bring them here?” Crystal asked “Shouldn’t they appear in Cairo?”
“Maybe they’re being given a chance to go for the medallion” Eve offered
“Should we be preparing then?” Louie questioned “We need to get to a better battleground if we’re fighting a whole team”
“They probably won’t send the whole team” Josh said
“Whhy not?” Louie asked “I’d bring the whole team to crush anyone in my way”
“They don’t know anything about us” Eve explained “They don’t know if we’re the elittes of our group or newbies. They will probably send a small but strong team to assess us and possibly make a deal”
“And if they’re cocky and just want us dead?” Louie asked
“I never said we shouldn’t prepare for a fight” Eve said “Just that we’re likely to only see a small force. Besides the medallion isn’t the biggest prize in the movie. They’ll want to head for the ark as soon as possible”
“So what should we do?” Louie huffed
“You stay here and shut up!” Logan’s roar pulled everyone’s attention to him.
The leader left a stunned Jones and Ravenwood behind and returned to his team.
“We need to get ready for contact” He said simply
Josh shifted nervously as he watched the horizon, feeling the danger approaching. He, Logan, Crystal, and Eve currently waited at the bottom of a steep hill, looking towards a series of hills with a single path cutting through. At the top of the hill they stood by was a abandoned building where Louie and Elijah waited, the sniper already starring down her barrel.
“Here they come” Elijah’s voice sounded thorough everyone’s mind.
Using his psyche scan, Elijah had noticed when a small group of three exited the area currently screened by Peru’s psyche force user. Working out where the trio would come from, the team had found this small valley to be the best location for them to meet. A mile farther into the city Jones and Ravenwood were waiting with Dawn by a clearing large enough for Skye to land her ship.
The members of team Peru emerged from behind the hills and approached the waiting group. All three were men of various ages. The oldest seemed to be in charge, walking slightly in front of the other two. He wore military style clothes with a gun strapped to his side. On his left was a slightly younger man maybe in his thirties, who wore a cocky smile and walked with a careless air. The youngest of the group looked to be around 18 and could’ve been on his way to a cosplay convention. He wore a perfect copy of a Anbu uniform from Naruto save for the mask.
“We’ve come to talk” Logan called out to the approaching group “We offer a chance for a peaceful talk”
The three men stopped a few dozen feet from the team. The older soldier looked bored by there statement while the youngest reached for a bag on his waist.
“Wait Carmin” the soldier ordered sharply
“They’re trying to negotiate” the ninja whined “Master said no negotiating”
“He also said we need to offer his deal first” the middle aged man said much to Carmin’s annoyance.
“Fine hurry up and get this over with Alvaro” the ninja pouted.
“We will give you one chance” Alvaro, the soldier, spoke clearly “Give us Indiana and the medallion. Then stay out of the movie until we are done. In exchange we can make an even trade of four newbies to be divided amongst your team. What do you say?”
“How about we work together instead?” Logan replied “Let’s trade missions and we can see how we can both win”
“That sounds like a refusal to me,” Carmin said.
“This is not up for negotiation” Alvaro said “Either you agree with our terms or you die”
“If we fight both sides take casualties” Logan stated “Let’s try and work out a way we both win”
“That is a refusal then” Alvaro sighed “we’ll kill three of you and the survivor can tell your team the new deal. We’ll give three newbies as a mercy for complete obedience”
Logan turned to Josh and Crystal “I tried” he said with a shrug
“That’s all we can do,” Crystal shook her head.
Carmin was the first to strike, throwing a volley of metal shuriken at the team.
