HYDRA under Attack

---- Vasily Karpov, Siberian Base POV-----

Ever since the attack on Howard stark, I lost all contact with Winter Soldier.

Today I was invited for a meeting with the heads. I went into the command room and opened my monitor. Soon more faces popped up in the side monitors.

Pierce

Strucker

Whitehall

Malick

All sent a representative and joined via a live video call. This group of snakeheads don't even trust each other to sit in the same room.

"Do Tell us, Pierce, instead of delivering new super-soldiers, how did we end up losing the only one we had?", questioned Whitehall.

"I am not sure who attacked us but our operation was compromised. Winter Soldier has disappeared. Howard Stark claims he also lost super serum vials he had created and if true, then there is another player in the shadow, after us or the super serum," pierce replied uncomfortably.

Pierce still remembers the day he freed this bastard Reinhardt, a few years ago. He was then an old sickly man who barely could walk but now he had suddenly regained his youth and he refuse to share such secrets with others. This bastard should be grateful to him but instead is the first one to question now!

The meeting continued for some time before an alarm sounded in the Siberian base. They looked at each other and then directly disconnected the call.

Vasily who has been listening to these people making excuses also cancelled the call and looked at the observation monitors. He was livid. This was his base. Clearly, the bastards who stole 'his' serums are now attacking his fortress!

"Блять!" he said angrily and then ran out to kill these bastards with his own hands.

"Bucky are you sure this is the only way?" asked rogers when they came face to face with a huge metallic gate.

"Yes, Steve. This has been my home and I think I can't forget its doors. I think we are going to miss the new year party if we don't hurry. Should we launch the birds now?" asked Bucky while he and the rest of the team started exchanging fire on the HYDRA agents that were protecting the entry doors.

"Well, no point in saving those. Let the birds go!" shouted Rogers behind his back.

A group of shadow knights dropped a few boxes and released Falcon bombers from them. The Falcon bombers truly created a visual masterpiece. Fire and Explosion in the middle of snow-capped mountains. Fire and Ice, truly beautiful and truly deadly for Hydra.

Within minutes, the shadow knights breached the gate and gained entry into the base.

"All teams move separately, no need to take any prisoners!" commanded Steve in the earpiece and soon the base was filled with blood and bullets.

Inside the base, Bucky and Steve moved together alone and started going towards the main control room. Anyone on their way would either get a bullet from Steve or from Bucky. No one could stop these two or even delay their speed.

Vasily lead his group of four most loyal and superior soldiers who were the next candidates for the Winter Soldier program. They came face to face with Steve and Bucky. Bucky, looking at Vasily started running towards him without any support or cover. His personal vendetta did make Steve lose any support he had and he was suddenly surrounded by a group of fighters all around him.

Steve shot the guy in front in quick succession but a woman from the back attacked him with two swords. Steve ducked and grabbed her sword and used it to deflect the attacks coming from sides. He managed to shoot another one in the leg and hit the last one with a powerful kick to the chest. The lady with the swords was directly hit on the face with the shield. The guy who was shot in the beginning started laughing and suddenly took off the pins from the explosive vest he was wearing. Steve looked at him with horror and then jumped back.

Steve was hit by the shockwave and thrown a couple of meters back. He shrug off the dust and after he got up he looked around to see the situation.

"All shadow knights report. I repeat report!" he shouted loudly in the earpiece.

Soon he received feedback from multiple groups but he counted that in this operation they lost at least more than four or five knights. With a heavy heart, he assigned teams some tasks and then rushed towards the area where Bucky and Vasily disappeared.

"Bucky, come in Bucky?" he shouted in the earpiece. There was no reply.

He kept running in their direction and whenever any HYDRA operative tried to stall him, he would simply reply by a punch to the face or kick to the chest or simply shooting them before they could even get close.

Steve was a war veteran and had killed many Hydra operatives. He would never be soft in dealing with these bastards. Steve finally found Bucky torturing Vasily in a chair of some strange design.

"Bucky! What are you doing?" he asked angrily. Steve was not soft-hearted but hearing the cries of Vasily did give him chills.

"I am returning the pain they gave me every time they had to wake me up or make me sleep. This was the new guy. Right...…. Sorry I didn't get your name?" Bucky said grimly while increasing some current regulator in the chair. Vasily's brain fried in the chair and he limped weakly.

Steve put a bullet to his head and ended his suffering. This guy deserved what he got but there was no need to suffer more.

"Did you find what we came for?" asked Steve.

"Yes, Can you believe he tried to use the diary on me when I was chasing him? His trick would have worked but he couldn't run faster than bullets. I got him in his leg and he dropped the only thing that could have prevented me from killing him." Bucky replied before giving Steve the diary that was used to control the winter soldiers.

"Good, let's end the fight. We lost a couple of brothers here. We need to finish this quickly and leave," said Steve with a smile that finally came on his face looking at the diary. He put the diary inside his chest pocket.

"Let's go. I know some places where these bastards may be hiding!" Bucky said and then he ran with steve towards the other areas of the base.

After nearly two hours, all the Hydra agents were finally eliminated.

"Martha, can you connect with the servers now?" Steve asked in his earpiece after putting a USB device in a computer he found in the control room.

"Connected Steve. I will take over the base now and need a few minutes before copying all the data," came a reply from Martha.

Hearing the reply, Steve looked at the group who was standing now around helping each other.

Steve smiled and said loudly "Time to pack and leave boys. Pick any files or ammunitions we can take from here. After one hour, we are leaving this place with the big bang."

And so, they did. After an hour, when all the physical material was slowly transported into a few big military-style choppers, their team left the area. Minutes later, there was a huge explosion bringing a white river of snow covering the entire area.
