Moving Forward

It's been a few weeks and the Allies are pushing Germany hard to get out of France.

What more is that the allies, more specifically the U.S., have a man to bring the morals of the men high and push the Germans harder.

The men and General Eisenhower now fully recognized Alfie's work, his inhuman movements and crazy stunts.

Nobody asks how he does what he does, but when they do Alfie just replies saying it's a secret.

General Eisenhower tried many times to make Alfie spill his secret in his strength and speed, the thought of him having a Super Soldier Serum was revolving around but no one was sure.

But the men on the battlefield couldn't care less with how he does it, as long as he stands besides them and fight then they were more than glad for that.

As Alfie fought with men on the battlefield he learns more and tries to see strategic ways that others don't, he became idol to many in short times.

The man with the sword, the psycho, a demon, the slasher...those were only a few that the men called him.

He was quickly becoming known by the men in the ally forces.

He was a nightmare, and a lot of them were glad the man was on their side rather then against.

And today Alfie was in a tent looking at a little mirror as he tries to shave his growing beard to a better groomed style.

As he was carefully cutting, a man came into his tent and salute.

"Sir." The young soldier said.

"At ease young man, I'm not with the whole 'act your rank' impression, just tell me what's up." Alfie said.

"I'm here to inform you that you are to report back to the base and see General Eisenhower, sir!" The young soldier said.

"Haha what did the old man miss me?" Alfie asked no one particularly.

"He didn't say for what reason, sir." Alfie looked to see that the young man was still there.

"Oh, I got it soldier, I'll hitch a ride back in a bit, I just gotta finish up." Alfie said.

"I'm to drive you back to the base, sir." The soldier said again all tensed.

"Ah well alright, give me a second I'll be out."

"Sir!"

••••••

"Old man! I'm here!!" Alfie yelled out immediately as he entered the base fort of the U.S. General.

"Alfred, good you're here, give me a minute I'll be with you." Eisenhower said.

He seemed to be finishing up a few other plans for the American move.

After moving forward from the Normandy coast the Allies went their own ways.

Now on this side the Americans had to plan and take the right side of France.

Alfie and Eisenhower walked out of the building soon and walked around the camps.

"Where are you taking me? Want me to teach these men some more?"

"No, I'm taking you to the team you requested." Eisenhower said.

"Oh! They're here?! Great!"

They then rode to the far side of the camps to one of the barracks.

The place looked deserted as there were only a few going back and forth around the area.

As General Eisenhower and Alfie sat in the back of the vehicle watching the place he tried to tell the driver to gather the new arrivals when Alfie stopped him.

Telling Eisenhower he will try to go around getting to know some.

Eisenhower agreed and seemed to question Alfie's way of doing things, but he has been doing fine for a while so there is no use doubting him.

As Alfie got out of the vehicle and walked around, he saw that there were more men alone then together.

Most of these men don't like people that much, and would usually do their own things.

Alfie tried talking to a few but they just ignored him and did their own things.

Though he tried to make friends around the newbies here there were three men he was looking forward to.

Two of them were in the shooting range sharpening their shots.

As they both faced the targets and weren't paying attention to their backs Alfie came up and locked the two by their necks and screamed startling them.

As the two looked back at who it was, they were shocked.

"You're..."

"No way!!"

"Alfie!!" x2

They both screamed out.

"Hahahaha, it's been too long Rolo, Jon." Alfie said as he looked back and forth at the two and held their shoulders.

"Al!!....what are you doing here?" Rolo asked still not believing he was in front of him.

"I practically live here Ronald." Alfie said with a smirk.

"Al, you're here, I was hoping I could see you when I enlisted." Jon said.

"Good thing we did, I gotta be honest I didn't think you two would be enlisting into the army, what happened to the plans in the Major Leagues baseball?" Alfie asked.

"We thought serving has more weight than playing ball in front of a crowd of idiots." Rolo said crossing his arms.

Alfie raised an eyebrow in question when Jon answered his question.

"The crowd didn't like hispanics in the field." Jon said.

"So you backed out and let them win? Haven't I told you about the-"

"Yes yes, the determination and all that moral talk about not letting idiots get into my heads, but I was losing interest in the ball game long ago and was planning to walk away soon, but when I heard Jonjon here was enlisting I thought, why not, I might see Al again if I'm lucky." Rolo said.

"Well good thing you guys didn't die in the field, I was surprised when I saw your names in the files, why didn't you guys tell me?" Alfie said.

"Well it's not like we haven't tried, you were unreachable and all." Jonjon said.

"Oh, I guess you have a point, anyways follow me." Alfie said as the two followed behind him.

"Where we heading to?" Jon asked.

"Well Lets just make friends for now." Alfie said.

"Anyways Al, what have you been doing? Anything exciting?" Jon asked.

"Well..."

The three walked around as Alfie told them what he has been doing since his transfer to the frontlines.

As he talked about his times, the two could hardly believe it, if they didn't know Alfie they definitely wouldn't believe his stories.

Alfie was a big pillar in their childhood lives, he was there for almost everything and was greatly depended on for many things.

Plus he never really lied.

"I know it's stupid asking, but you aren't actually carrying a sword around in a battle of gunfights are you?" Jonjon asked.

"Haha, I am, and it's actually fun." Alfie said.

The three made their way into the barracks as Alfie was looking for someone else.

They finally ended up in the resting area where a man was sleeping on a bed snoring loudly.

"Hehe." Alfie chuckled before he lifted his legs and kicked the bed the man was sleeping in.

Rolo and Jonjon was shocked at his actions, and was too late to stop him, they thought Alfie's habit if picking fights is still with him.

"I guess old habits die hard." Rolo muttered as he and Jonjon looked at the man who jerked up awake.

They were worried because the man sleeping seemed a bit intimidating even though he seemed short, he had muscles, hair on his chest arms and legs, a beard, and a messy hair that seemed to be pointy at the sides.

The man got off the bed and stood up at 5'5 looking at Alfie grunting.

"You wanna have a go, bub?" The man growled.

"No, I'm just waking you up before you get into some deep trouble, just reminding you that your group will be called in soon." Alfie said staring at the man.

"What are you talking about?" The man asked.

"Oh you don't know, your not the only group transferred to the German front lines." Alfie said.

This time it wasn't only the man but Rolo and Job also seemed surprised.

"There are one-hundred and twenty something of you soldiers that transferred here." Alfie said.

"There are? Why?" Jon asked.

"It was by my request..." Alfie said ignoring the two's reaction as he stepped up to the man.

"Captain Alfred McBride, nice to meet you buddy." Alfie said as he extended his hand to the man who woke up not long ago.

Rolo and Jon were on the side with a shocked face as Alfie didn't tell them the part about his promotion.

"James..." The man introduced himself as.

"James, you're one of the ones I looked forward to meeting, I heard the men in Japans front lines call you Lucky James." Alfie said as they shook hands.

"Is that what made you decide to bring me here captain? I doubt that's the reason." James said.

"Well we'll see James, I look forward to working with you." Alfie said.

"You're the reason we were transferred here?!"Jonjon asked.

"Captain?!" Rolo questioned in surprised.

"Oh yeah, I didn't tell you guys that part huh? Haha I wanted to surprise you." Alfie said.

"So what now captain?" James asked.

"Please James, just call me Alfie, no need the formalities and all, we're just here to kill some evil dictators." Alfie said.

•••••

"Some of you may wonder why you were transferred from your last posts to this current one." Alfie said.

The men transferred were lined up surprisingly, though they didn't looked to be thrilled or determined to be soldiers.

"Just know that you are not the only one, you are here by my requests and you will fight with me...unless of course you wanna just quit and skedaddle outta here." Alfie said as the soldiers didn't looked to pleased with his last sentence.

Though Alfie wasn't screaming his voice could surprisingly reach every soldier.

"Now Europe is the most hard fought war in all three fronts and I just brought you here, not because I think you assholes are the best or because I need you, you are all here because I need a reason to push forward." Alfie said.

"Yes I've heard your stories, you assholes might be the most toughest and rebellious of the three fronts but I don't give a shitt unless you use that same energy on the battlefield." Alfie said.

"You all have something in common but I'm not gonna waste the next few minutes talking about what they are, well maybe a few."

"First thing that caught my eye with all of you is that you are loners, I don't blame you, people are just sometimes dumb fucks, and it's too much to deal with."

"Second was the fact that you are either crazy or brave, mostly crazy but those with both traits are also good, you don't give a shitt about ranks and formalities but your next target on the field, and that? That i like." Alfie said.

"Another thing is that all of you have a few body counts on your hands, and that's good, I don't need amateurs on the field holding me back."

As he spoke Rolo and Jonjon who were also lines up looked at each other in surprise wondering why Alfie put them together in a group of crazy bastards.

"The main forces are moving too slow for my taste so we'll proceed to the nearest fort soon, but for now you have two days to do whatever the he'll you'd like, see you then." Alfie then stepped off meeting with Rolo and Jonjon as they complained before heading to James.

••••••

"I've already allowed you to push forward alone, and that is enough, but to say that you want to rush again after your first siege? You're moving a little too fast son, if you move too fast then nothing will end up well." General Eisenhower said.

"I could handle it." Alfie said.

"You probably could, you're a monster Alfred, but your small team can't, there is an order to these things and we can't just have a small force head in, it's just too risky." Eisenhower said.

"Besides, you're not even thinking of winning a war, your mind is on chopping bodies apart." Eisenhower said as he shivered a bit, he has been reading reports of Alfie's work.

"Chopping bodies apart is winning old man, just let me move forward myself if my first siege goes well, the main forces are too slow." Alfie said.

"Come on old timer, when have I ever failed you?" Alfie push his luck.

"I still can't believe you rounded up these men, most of them are crazy." Eisenhower said.

"And they don't have anyone, they are more than willing to fight and die in the field so what's the harm done?" Alfie said.

"That is cold, you're taking these men's willingness to die for granted, you a-"

"I know it doesn't feel right, but I'm not forcing anyone, old man I don't really wanna talk about it, do I have your permission or not?" Alfie said.

"Fine, but up until fort Nantes you will halt your movement, on your first siege on fort Rennes you will close fort Brest's path away from the rest of the Germans, you already know the strategy, the lives of these men and yourself will be on your hands captain." Eisenhower said.

"No worrs General, I'll clear up these forts in just a few weeks." Alfie said as he got up from his seat.

"Oh, and there is a few journalists here, I think some work for the Stars and Stripes, they seemed to have heard about your recent achievements so they are looking for you." Eisenhower said.

"A news crew? Eh maybe I'll talk later, wouldn't mind getting famous." Alfie said as before leaving.

•••••

During the night.

Howard Stark came home a while ago, made something light to eat, and of course, drinks.

He soon entered the shower and did what anyone would do, shower.

Had some smooth jazz playing as he shuffled around in his robes with another drink.

*Pang*

That was when he heard the noise in the living room.

Howard immediately panicked and went to the corner and grabbed a club, a golf club.

As Howard slowly made his way out of the room he paused halfway and thought of someone who could break in his house without ill intentions.

He then slowly lowered the club as he made his way to the kitchen, he could barely see but there was a shadow roaming in his kitchen.

Howard flipped the switch, and there he was Alfred McBride.

What Howard saw in his kitchen was a mess.

Bread, beef, patties, hotdogs, peanut butter, jam, chicken, wings, ketchup....

Anything Howard had that was edible in the kitchen was on the counter being devoured by the intruder who wasn't even looking at Howard.

As Alfie stuffed his face repeatedly Howard looked as if he gave up in life.

"Oh hey Stark, sorry the food back in camp was shitt so I decided to get something to fill me up." Alfie said.

"I'm going on a siege in a few days and so I'd like to get myself a full stomach for now." Alfie said eating and drinking more.

"Al...what the hell!! This is a mess." Howard said.

"Just get your maids to clean it, no biggie." Alfie said.

"I don't have maids you idiot." Howard went up to the counter and massaged his head as he observed the glutton on his counter.

"You don't? I thought you did, anyways you will definitely have some soon." Alfie said.

"Oh forget it." Howard gave up.

"Anyways have you finished it?" Alfie asked.

"I've finished it a while ago, so it's been sitting in my closet for days." Howard said as he walked off and came back in minutes carrying a cloth wrapped around what seemed like a stick.

Alfie cleared the counter of the mess into the garbage before taking the cloth on it.

Alfie clapped his hands before looking intently at the cloth.

Howard stood at the side with his arms crossed wondering why Alfie don't just unwrap the katana.

When Alfie finally moved and unwrapped it he couldn't help but have goosebumps.

The katana was themed black and orange, just like he requested.

But there was a silver symbol on the sheath, it was the head of a wolf.

"I love it." Alfie said as he picked it up and unsheathed the blade.

There was a smooth metallic ring that Alfie heard.

The Vibranium blade looked stable, strong, sharp, firm, along with many strong terms to define the blade.

"It's amazing, how did you do it?" Alfie asked without turning back.

"I had to learn a few things about forging Japanese swords, the wood and leather crafting was much more harder than the forging itself." Howard said as he bend down eyeing the blade with Alfie.

"And I have to admit, it's a work of beauty, but why a sword? You could have used the Vibranium for something more...I don't know...effective? I mean come on Al who would bring a sword into a gunfight?" Howard asked.

"Hmm, I guess New York hasn't known about my feats yet huh?"

"Why what happened?" Howard asked.

"Nothing, you'll know soon." Alfie said.

•••••

The two days were spent in the liberated cities having fun, mostly drunk and such.

Alfie spend time with Rolo and Jonjon catching up as Alfie also saw the current them.

Apparently Rolo was a alcoholic and a gambler now, Alfie didn't like it.

Not because Rolo was a bad drunk and an even worse gambler but because those were two things that makes the typical bad fathers, if he ever were to be.

Jonjon was now a player, he sat on a seating in the bar and not long two girls came to him.

Now the small 137 group is moving through France heading for the nearest fort.

Alfie was able to get a few transport trucks and vehicles allowing them to move smoothly and quickly.

In just a few days Alfie and his group stopped just a few miles out of fort Rennes and stood in front of a vehicle hood finalizing their plans.

His old team was there as well from the infiltration group during the Coast siege.

Benny talked a lot which annoyed James.

Alfie set up a team of 3 which was the range team, sneak-in team, and main team.

Alfie was wearing his black and orange themed plated suit again, this time all clean from the blood in his previous participations in battle.

Except there were some marks here and there on the suit.

When the transfers saw the suit they scrunched their eyebrows in wonder, even the sword he carried had attention.

He isn't wearing his mask at the moment so the small force recognized who he was.

And for some reason the men got more curious over the time.

When the sun plunges and darkness arrives, that is when Alfie will green light the operation.
