The Rise of Shadow Moon!

The Winter Soldier's agonized cries echoed throughout the lab. Dr. Zola stood aside, silently watching the unfolding events. Suddenly, the surrounding machines exploded violently, destroying everything in an instant.

Amid the explosion's dust, a figure emerged. Zola's eyes widened, locking onto the figure. Dr. Zola burst into triumphant laughter when he saw a metal-clad rider approaching.

"Success! I've finally created the ultimate monster. From now on, your name is Shadow Moon. Your enemy is Kamen Rider, understood?"

At that critical moment in the Hydra meeting, an unexpected voice interrupted. Dr. Zola's face appeared on the screen.

"Everyone, I have a small suggestion," Zola announced, causing Pierce to frown.

"Dr. Zola, aren't you busy with your research? Why do you have time for this meeting?"

"Pierce, don't be angry. As a Hydra member, I have the right to attend. I know you're facing difficulties, so I'm assisting."

"What do you mean?" Pierce asked.

"Behold, my latest experiment: the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes. He has power on par with the Kamen Riders. How about we deploy him to aid your plan?"

The meeting grew noisy again, but the participants eventually agreed.

"Alright, Dr. Zola. But make sure the Winter Soldier follows my orders completely."

"Rest assured, Pierce. There's no one more loyal than him."

"Good. Let's proceed with the plan and teach our enemies a lesson."

The meeting ended, and Pierce felt triumphant, already envisioning himself controlling S.H.I.E.L.D. after Fury's demise.

"Alexander Pierce, obey my command," a voice suddenly echoed in Pierce's mind. Startled, Pierce looked around but saw no one.

"Am I hearing things?" he muttered, pressing his temples. The voice spoke again, clearer this time.

"Pierce, find the Cosmic Cube. Understand?"

"Who is it!?" Pierce shouted, grabbing his weapon and scanning the room.

"Have you forgotten me so soon?" the voice mocked.

Pierce suddenly calmed down, becoming eerily still.

In Asgard, Loki, the God of Mischief, sat on his throne, commanding, "Pierce, find the Cosmic Cube for me."

"Yes, my lord. I will obey your command and find what you seek," Pierce responded, kneeling.

Years ago, Loki had briefly visited Earth to find the Cosmic Cube but had to leave quickly under Odin's watch. During his short stay, he encountered Pierce and used his wand to manipulate him before departing.

Loki decided it was the perfect time to retrieve the Cube, summoning Pierce to act.

Under Loki's influence, Pierce left his home and drove to S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters. Once there, he accessed his office and began his search.

Using a stolen password, Pierce found classified information confirming the Cosmic Cube's location in a S.H.I.E.L.D. base.

Pierce smiled and sent a message to Martin Li, who immediately mobilized a team to the specified location. Pierce then drove to the desert site.

After two hours, Pierce and several military trucks arrived at the location. He examined the ground and, finding it unnaturally hard, started digging. Soon, a large underground base was revealed.

Pierce's team donned S.H.I.E.L.D. uniforms and descended via elevator. Once inside, they faced several security checks and passwords.

A guard stopped them. "Mr. Pierce, what brings you here?"

"Director's orders. The base is compromised. I'm here to move the Cosmic Cube."

"Do you have the Director's authorization?" the guard asked.

"Of course!" Pierce signaled his men, who swiftly eliminated the guards.

Ignoring the blood on his shoes, Pierce entered the final vault, opening it to reveal numerous facilities and personnel.

"Mr. Pierce, what are you doing here?" a familiar voice asked.

Pierce turned to see Nick Fury, accompanied by his team.

Realizing his plan had been discovered, Pierce stayed silent.

Earlier, Fury had been discussing strategies with Tony Stark when an alert about the Cosmic Cube's energy spike had interrupted them. They quickly headed to the base, contacting Tendo and others to return from South America.

On the way, Tendo asked, "What's the Cosmic Cube, and why is Fury so anxious?"

"The Cube can threaten not just S.H.I.E.L.D. but the entire world," Coulson replied.

Upon arrival, they found the Cosmic Cube stable but observed Pierce's unauthorized entry.

"Mr. Pierce, why are you here?" Fury demanded.

Pierce, realizing he was caught, remained silent.
