"3... 2... "

"Wait! I surrender. Please spare me!" One of the smarter enemies called as she threw her wand aside and collapsed on her knees.

"How dare you betray our cause! We are Acolytes of Grindelwald himself, yet you act in such a disgraceful manner! Traitors like you need to be..." One of the 'Acolytes' starts ranting as he aims his wand at the woman.

"1, times up" Tom finishes counting and aims his wand at the floor of the train once again.

Magic launched from his wand into the floor and the floor beneath the Acolytes began to morph. Spikes launched from beneath all of the enemies impaling them from crotch to skull leaving only the woman who surrendered unharmed.

The poor woman was shaking like a leaf as she stared at her still standing former comrades. The spikes held them up and kept them in place like scarecrows. The blood of her comrades pooled around her and soaked her robe as she kneeled frozen on the ground in fear.

"Secure the girl and take her for questioning." Tom orders and his followers move into action. "Collect the wands and any valuables as well. We don't need muggles finding them and experimenting with things they know nothing about."

The Howling Commandos were truly shocked. One moment they were winning, then somehow the leader of their reinforcements decimated the remaining enemies.

One thing is for sure. They would never forget the power these magicians hold, nor would they ever forget how easily Tom slaughtered the remaining opponents.

"Thanks for the help, Tom." Steve says as he breaks from his shock and looks over at his fallen brothers In arms.

"You're welcome. What was your mission anyway?" Tom asks and Steve's eyes widen as he remembers why he's here in the first place.

"Zola!" Steve yells as he goes to find him but is stopped by the lack of exits.

"Oh, yeah. Let me fix that for you." Tom says and waves his wand making the doors and windows return to normal once again.

Steve runs out of the train car and starts searching for Zola with the Howling Commandos hot on his tail.

Tom walks over to the woman that surrendered and transfigured a chair in front of her. His followers have their wands trained on her as she stares at Tom in horror.

"Hello, I'm Tom. Who might you be?" Tom asks as he sits in front of her with his legs crossed casually.

"V-vinda Rosier, My Lord." She mutter as she ducks her head down in submission not daring to look Tom in the eye.

"Rosier, huh? Interesting." Tom says as he eyed Druella for a moment and received a shrug from her. 'A half-blood disgrace that Druella never met perhaps?' Tom thought as he could see the resemblance to Druella and Lady Rosier. "Well, Ms. Rosier. Seeing as you've surrendered, I'll spare your life as promised."

The second she heard him say that a sigh of relief was heard and a small smile formed on her face. That smile was ruined by Tom's next words though.

"But, you'll have to be put through some questioning and you'll be a prisoner for the foreseeable future." Tom says and her smile disappears.

'At least I'm not dead...' she thought as she turned to see her comrades still impales on spikes.

Tom summons the Eldritch energy once again and runes appear as usual. The runes surround his prisoner and imprint themselves on her skin.

These are what Tom likes to call inmate runes. They track where the person is and suppress the magic in them. She won't be able to use any magic even if a wand were to fall into her lap.

"Take her to the dungeon at your Manor, Drue." Tom says as he removes the anti-portal runes and opens one to Druellas home.

"Sure, I have questions for my parents anyway." Druella mutters as she drags her family member through the portal.

"Hehe, I'll visit once this is all cleaned up!" Tom yelled and closed the portal behind Druella.

"You're all dismissed. Return home and get some rest. You performed better than expected so be proud of yourselves." Tom says and his followers stuck their chests out and straightened their posture.

Once all of them have left, Tom looked at the bodies impaled before him and decided to leave a message for Grindelwald.

————————————————————

'I hope he likes my present for him' Tom thought as he admired his handiwork. "Now, let's go and see if the Captain completed his mission." Tom says as he walks through the train finding nothing but bodies of Hydra soldiers along the way.

After going through multiple train cars, Tom found Steve and the rest of the Howling Commandos in what appeared to be the control room. Zola was tied to a chair and getting the shit kicked out of him. What's surprising is the fact that Steve is turning a blind eye to the blatant beat down.

'I guess he's angry about the deaths of his men.' Tom thought as he made his presence known. "Hey, if you have what you came for, you should leave quickly."

"Why?" Steve asks as the Commandos stop beating on Zola.

"When those guys we killed don't return, Grindelwald will send others. He may even come himself if we're unlucky enough." Tom says as he leans on the door frame of the control room.

"That's good, isn't it? We can take him down if he comes." Bucky says and the Commandos voice their agreement.

"It isn't that simple." Tom shakes his head. "I'm currently weaker than Grindelwald. If we were to do battle now, I would undoubtedly lose and you guys are muggles. No offense, of course."

"I don't know what a muggle is but the Howling Commandos can face any challenge!" One of the more overconfident soldiers exclaimed.

"*sigh* I'm going to explain this in simpler terms for you. Do you understand how f#cked you were against those wizards before we arrived?" Tom says and they all nod with unhappy expressions. "Good, now multiply that level of f#cked by a hundred. That is how bad it would be if you were to face Grindelwald."

———————————————————————————

A few hours after Tom and the Howling commandos left the train, along with Zola as a prisoner, countless wizards apparated onto the fully stopped train.

Among these wizards was the man himself, Gellert Grindelwald. They surveyed the train to find what happened and found Tom's little message.

When Gellert walked into that particular train car, he was met with the impaled forms of almost a dozen dead bodies. Crimson blood dripped from them onto a puddle of blood that seemed to fill the entire train car.

Each body was transfigured to look like the spitting image of Gellert himself. Their hair and eye color changed. Their faces and bodies morphed.

If that wasn't a good enough message for him, something was written in blood on the wall next to the bodies.

'ENEMIES OF THE HEIR BEWARE'
