Redskull’s Demise Part 3

*TINK*

*CLANG*

Selena and Caterina pushed each other back from the sword clash.

Around them the amazons, HYDRA and even the shadows joined in fighting.

Surprisingly the katana was able to keep up with the Adamantine sword, in fact it was able to not get one bit of scratch from the few clashes they had.

Caterina was more surprised than Selena and even angry.

Selena on the other hand turned her head to the side at the plane moving farther from them with a face of pure shock.

"That idiot!! He actually boarded the plane…" Selena paused in shock.

During their fight a few minutes ago she caught Alfie at the corner of her eyes passing them and heading towards the plane, next thing she knew the plane started taking off.

Most people won't understand what's so shocking with the situation, but Selena was different like she said.

She and Alfie are more alike than anyone would think.

She was looking forward to explaining it, but the idiot had to board the plane and now…

She suddenly saw Captain America making his way forward before fully sprinting towards the moving plane but in the end stopped unable to catch up.

That was when the Colonel and Peggy came in with their own vehicle, Redskull's sweet ride and picked him up.

"Dear sister, you must not think much of me to be distracted this much in our fight." Caterina said as she smirked.

"You and that Wolf seem to be close, he even handed you his blade to use while he left, could it be that you have taken a man for yourself?" Caterina asked as she laughed.

"Mother will not be happy…" Caterina provoked which succeeded.

"Shut upp!!" Selena pushed forward before sending the katana down as it clashed with the Adamantine making sparks and high pitched sounds.

••••

Everything went the way it did in canon for Steve, Peggy and the Colonel on Redskull's car chasing the plane.

The only difference this time was that Steve tended to look back to the battle far behind, hoping maybe he could see Bucky or Alfie one last time.

Because he has the feeling that this will be a difficult and dangerous situation he is in.

But they were getting farther and farther from the battle, and closer to the plane.

Soon they got close but Peggy stopped Steve before grabbing him in a kiss and telling him to come back…

Steve jumped between the wheel right before it started to take off and the car the Colonel drove stopped immediately before they could run off the track and fall off the face of the mountain.

Some time later Steve dropped down from a part of the plane wheel and sneaked in taking a peek at the coming HYDRA.

Steve quickly positioned himself high on the ceiling waiting for a chance to drop in on them surprising them.

And it went just as he had planned, except two escaped his sight before running to enter one of the small bombing planes.

Steve looked for solutions when he saw a big red button connected to one of the HYDRA's little planes.

Steve immediately threw his shield accurately hitting the button which dropped one of the planes before the HYDRA fell with it shortly thereafter.

Steve then turned around, picked up a HYDRA weapon before beaming at the last HYDRA disintegrating him.

Steve dropped the weapon and exhaled deeply before walking to his shield to pick it up when-

*PAH*

He couldn't see clearly but it seemed like someone jumped and kicked out with both legs sending him to the side into one of the empty plane drops.

Luckily he grabbed the edge tightly to not fall or else the serum would surely not save him.

He tried to pull himself up quickly when he heard a scuffle up top, when he finally got his upper body high enough to secure his safety a hand came towards him.

Steve was ready to grab that hand and pull it, throwing it down the plane when he saw the hand stop in front of him harmlessly.

Steve looked up to see the black and orange mask staring at him with his shield held by Alfie's other hand.

Steve grabbed the hand as he was pulled up casually before asking.

"Al?! What are you doing here?" Steve asked.

"I was here first, what are you doing here? And What happened to catching Johann and ending him immediately?" Alfie asked as he handed Steve his shield.

"There were complications...he had trucky and powerful help." Steve said.

Alfie then realized the bruises and cuts on Steve's face and suit.

"Whoa, haven't seen that look for a while, I'm guessing you didn't stay down?" Alfie asked jokingly.

"You know I'll never stay down." Steve said with a smile as he walked past Alfie.

"No, you don't, that's why you're so annoying."

They both made their way more deeper into the plane, Steve saw a few Hand ninjas knocked out along the way knowing who was responsible.

Before they went further Alfie grabbed Steve's shoulder as he turned towards him.

"Steve, you don't have to do this, you can drop here and parachute your way down and wait for rescue while I handle this." Alfie said.

"What are you talking about Al? We don't have time for this."

"This might be a one way flight of never going back, you should drop while you have the chance." Alfie said as he looked at his friend deeply.

"If this is really a one way trip then I will see to that until the end." Steve said as he proceeded to turn around and continue when Alfie spoke again.

"What about Peggy?...Come one Steve, you have a chance for something new here, why don't you start something new with her?"

Steve didn't say anything and just turned around with an unmoving stare.

"So what? I should just go back and let you do this alone? If you were in my position and I asked you your question instead, what would you say?" Steve asked seriously.

"Hmm, well I would accept the proposal thank you then drop to go have the best time of my life with my friends and fa-" Alfie suddenly paused.

Steve had his eyes on Alfie but his head tilted upwards, knowing Alfie just realized he also had people back at home.

"And you should, you have more people than me back home, but I'm not gonna ask you to drop and go back since I know you won't actually do it." Steve said before he turned around and started walking again.

"Let's go." Steve said firmly.

Alfie sigh wondering how this turned into this, he has been messing around too much to think about consequences and such.

Of course he knew what he was doing when he entered the plane previously.

A few weeks ago he went to the bar with that Daisy girl who was from the future and knew a lot about him, that night he got her drunk making her think they were having a drinking contest.

In the end she got drunk and answered a few questions Alfie had in mind, some of the answers were surprising while she was still able to keep most things a secret.

But one of the things Alfie was able to confirm with her was that he and Steve Rogers both disappeared and was later discovered sleeping in ice.

And knowing that, Alfie could change the future and just not board the plane, but he saw a group of shadows earlier that he couldn't ignore.

A few veteran master ninjas and two top league hand ninjas.

The two ninjas are the best killers right under the fingers, Alfie could handle two and maybe more but their skills are unbeatable together.

Alfie used to have the toughest time with the 2nd in command shadows, sure he can handle teo now but Steve? Alfie didn't have confidence in Steve making it if the two teamed up with Redskull and every ninja and soldier in the plane.

So when Alfie entered the plane he immediately knocked out every shadow and HYDRA he saw before heading to Steve.

But he wasn't able to find the top league shadows yet, they were different because they had gray designs on their outfit along with a lower face gray mask that looked like a japanese demon's mouth.

Soon enough the two made their way to a door that they believed to be the last before they arrived at the command deck.

Steve placed his hands on the door as he looked back at Alfie who placed his hand on Steve's shoulder and lowered himself a little bit then nodded.

When Steve saw the nod he breathed out slowly before.

*BANG*

Steve slammed the door and ran in with his shield in tow while Alfie came up to his side staff out.

He had brought his hand up earlier to get his sword from his shoulder only to realize it's not there, and that he gave it to Selena earlier which made him curse.

But it's okay, the staff will be good enough, it's heavy compared to a skull and harder as well.

As the two stood side by side, what they were seeing was Redskull sitting casually alone with a beam pistol in his hands.

"You really don't give up, such persistence." Redskull said.

"Damn, Steve, look at the size of his head, and look at them big ass forehead, pftt." Alfie "whispered" to Steve as he tries hard not to laugh.

"Ahh Deathstroke, such a vile name, did you come up with that on your own?" Redskull asked.

"I thought it was a good one, you don't like it?" Alfie asked.

"I don't."

*Pew*

Redskull stood up and fired at Alfie, but Alfie didn't move as Steve came up in front of him blocking the beam.

"Teamwork, I like it…" Redskull said.

He then smirked before continuing.

"...I brought my own team."

And like it was on cue a series of projectiles came from the sides.

Steve stepped to the sides and put his shield up, positioning it wherever it was needed while Alfie took the right, spinning his staff as fast and fluidly as possible.

At the corner of his eyes, he saw Redskull raising his hand up to shoot at Steve, so Alfie took one hand off the staff and reached for something in his hip before flicking his hands.

A kunai went straight before stabbing Redskull's right wrist as the pistol fell from his hands.

Alfie came back and put his full attention back to his shadow opponent only for a short sword to come threatenting to stab his eye which Alfie raised his left hand and blocked with.

"Aaaggghhhh!! You PLEBIAN!!"

Steve turned around to see Redskull's wrist stabbed by a kunai while Alfie stood there facing his shadow ninja with a blade stabbed through his forearm.

Alfie turned his body before raising his right leg and kicked sideways, the master shadow backed up to dodge but Alfie wast too fast and strong kicking his shoulder as he was thrown back rolling.

"Thanks, I needed a blade, even though it's weak." Alfie said as he held the grip of the short sword and pulled it off from his forearm quickly.

As Steve saw this he heard a low voice.

"You shouldn't be distacted from a fight." The shadow behind Steve said and he heard a sound of a blade whistling his way.

Steve put his shield up and turned immediately blocking the curved blade only to feel something hit both his legs as Steve fell to his back.

On his back he saw a metal like ball connected to a chain in the air aligned with him in the air, when he saw the shadow pull the metal chain down Steve jerked his body to the side feeling lucky.

Because in his previous position was a the metal ball slammed down and making a pretty recognizable dent on the hard metal ground.

The weapon was something Steve has never seen or heard of, but the way that man was using it, he was an expert.

The opponent was tricky, not only foes he have to watch out for the shadows blade, Steve has to watch the ball end as well as all the limbs the shadow has.

Alfie informed him a little about these shadows, one that they trained since young to kill, and two they survived out of many which means they were the strongest out of all the sick training and tests the Hand put them through.

But that wasn't the worst of it, the things Alfie told him about how the hand "recruit" and how they operate made Steve feel frustrated.

The Hand just plucks innocent yet to fully grow apples from the tree, it was immoral.

Alfie's hand was slowly healing as he hold the short sword and put the staff away after retracting it.

"You live up to the expectations, no you exceed the very expectations others have of you, Black Wolf." The shadow in front of Alfie spoke with a soft and low voice.

"Well thank you, but I'd rather have some hunneys compliment me than your dark emo self." Alfie said as he flicked his left hand repeatedly to wake his nerves up.

"You are truly a great master, you have used only one lifetime to achieve what the Masters achieved in centuries, yet you passed them in every way and have achieved beyond what they could ever do, you might even rival the Immortal Iron Fist." The shadow said.

Alfie's left eye twitched.

"The fuck did you just say? You comparing me to a weak emotional brat who can only light up his fist?!" Alfie asked but his words just went through deaf ears.

"Shame, your journey in your immortal life will end today, we have a new saviour who will save us and bring us to new heights, and you won't live to see that day when the shadows rise." The shadow said dramatically.

But Alfie didn't hear any of it and appeared right in front of the shocked shadow and did a forward kick blasting the shadow to the wall as he slide back down to his feet slowly and calmly getting his breathe back.

Alfie then appeared again in front of him with his eyes lit up in bright gold.

"You think Iron Fist can rival me? I'll show you what is different between us." Alfie jumped back a meter before he raised his right leg and turned to the side and muttered something quietly.

"Iron Leg."

"Iron Slap"

*PAH*

"Iron Elbow"

*PAH*

"Iron Knee"

*PAh*

"Iron Headbutt"

*PAH*

"Iron Finger"

*PAH*

"Iron Di-"

"Oh...he's already out."
