[Frog] Chapter 252: Snatching Vibranium
🕑 Added 2025-01-01 17:50:43 +0000 UTCSokovia, Hydra’s research base.
Alan stood in the snow, gazing at the mountaintop facility in the distance. This Eastern European landlocked country had become a hideout for Hydra’s remnants after their plans failed.
Today was supposed to mark the Avengers’ destruction of Sokovia. However, Alan was the only one here.
The reason was simple: his presence had altered the storyline, preventing the Avengers from encountering this event.
“Is the vibranium here sufficient for your needs?” Alan asked the Red Queen.
“It’s more than enough,” the Red Queen confirmed.
Hearing this, Alan donned the Emperor Armor and flew toward the snowy mountain. The turbulence of the wind he stirred up was striking, immediately alerting Strucker to the intruder.
Inside Hydra’s Base 503, a soldier entered a room filled with equipment. In the corner stood a young man and woman—if Alan were here, he would instantly recognize them as Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, and Pietro, aka Quicksilver.
The Hydra soldier approached Strucker and reported, “We have an intruder.”
Strucker’s expression grew grave. He had long anticipated this day. Ever since Hydra’s defeat in New York, he had been waiting for the Avengers to come.
“Is it the Avengers?”
The soldier shook his head, leaving Strucker puzzled.
If it wasn’t the Avengers, who could be invading Sokovia?
The soldier pulled up the surveillance footage, revealing a golden figure slowly flying toward the base.
Strucker’s jaw dropped. “It’s the Emperor!”
Unlike his reaction to the Avengers, Strucker knew that if the intruder was the Emperor, there was no chance of victory.
“Activate the shields! Destroy all evidence!” he shouted urgently while pacing. Despite his limited intelligence on the Emperor, Strucker knew that one in front him was more formidable than the entire Avengers team combined.
Alarms blared throughout the base. Soldiers armed themselves and rushed outside, their sole mission being to buy time.
Strucker turned to Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, speaking in an anxious tone. “You two must leave Sokovia immediately. You cannot fall into the hands of the Emperor!”
Quicksilver looked incredulous. “Why should we run?”
Strucker sighed, “Your mission was to counter the Avengers. But this intruder is the Emperor. You cannot defeat him.”
Reluctantly nodding, Quicksilver vanished in a blur without following Strucker’s orders, leaving the room in an instant.
“Pietro!” Strucker shouted, furious at the disobedience.
“Wanda, go bring your brother back! Now!” he barked at the Scarlet Witch before storming off.
Everything was spiraling out of control. Strucker had recruited the twins to counter the Avengers, but Quicksilver’s defiance was throwing all plans into chaos.
Meanwhile, several armored vehicles sped across the snowy terrain toward Alan’s silhouette. Upon seeing him, the soldiers opened fire without hesitation, bullets raining down in a relentless barrage.
Amid the storm of gunfire, Alan summoned the Aurora Shield, positioning it in front of him as he advanced.
“If I’m not mistaken, I’ll probably encounter Wanda and Quicksilver soon,” Alan mused as he moved forward.
In the original storyline, Wanda and Pietro had been deceived by Hydra into fighting the Avengers. However, with Alan’s arrival, perhaps everything was about to change.
