A large number of vehicles parked outside the retirement home where Broom, Mason and Woods were at when Sean and a few others jumped off.
"Secure the building." A man named Harper said getting a few men to do so.
"It's been a long time Mason." Sean said to David Mason Alex's son code named Section.
"Yeah." Mason said.
The group soon traveled into the building.
"We've scoured every inch of the vault sir, except this room." A soldier said unlocking the door and Harper kicked it open revealing four people inside.
"Safety is on dipshit." Woods said with Broom, Alex and the elderly old woman in the room. Sean walked in and looked at the old woman. She had white skin grey hair and green eyes and looked to be a hundred years old.
"Hey Grandma." Sean said making her smile. "Was Raul Menendez here today?" Sean asked making her nod.
"Stacy Kruger. Raul Menendez is the leader Cordis Die, and the most dangerous terrorist since Osama Bin Laden." Harper said.
"He was here." Alex said.
"Dad?" Mason said sitting next to him.
"Stacy told us as soon as he left." Broom said.
"Ma'am?" Harper said but she didn't say anything. "Fucking waste of time. The old lady is a vegetable." Harper said before Hellboy shoved him into the wall.
"You better shut your mouth." Hellboy said.
"Son take it is easy now." Broom said as Stacy handed her grandson the pendent Menendez gave her earlier.
"All he said was Mi Hermana. It mean sister dear." Stacy said.
"Why was he here?" Sean asked making her sigh.
"I don't know perhaps to remind me about what he had done all those years ago." Stacy said.
"You boys better get your shit together he's going to attack." Woods said.
"Woods if you have any information you need to tell us now." Sean said.
"Turn that camera on." Woods said getting Harper to do just that. "Alex back then was living in Alaska doing Ok till Hudson showed up." Woods said
1986
"Dad I need help." David said as he climbed the tree his father was on top of.
"Calm down David you're doing fine." Alex said before a chopper flew by. "Ah hell." Alex said as David tried to get down. "David hang on." Alex said before he fell and cut his hand on a branch making Alex jump down to see if he was ok.
"I'm alright." David said.
"Looks like he's just like his old man." Joe Kruger said as he Tom and Hudson approached them.
"What are you guys doing here?" Alex asked.
"Yesterday Woods led a covert team to out an arms smuggling ring in Angola. This morning, we've lost contact." Joe said.
"So why come to me?" Alex asked.
"Castro and the Russians are all over the place. The CIA has buried the mission Woods and his team no longer exist." Hudson said.
"We're going in to get him back Alex. I'm a man short since Hawkins is still recovering from our last mission." Tom said.
"David can stay with my wife like before. She loves having him He'll be fine." Joe said.
"Alright I'm in." Alex said.
Back in the present
"This was a year before your old man encountered that Hunter that killed three members of his team plus his old friend Dillion. Back then he and his team were the youngest and most promising soldiers in the United states history." Woods said.
"For good reason." Sean said.
"They found where I was being held prisoner with one of those old spy satellites." Woods said.
"This was before the digital age. This satellite back then sent a canister every few weeks then one of our aircraft would catch and deliver it to be analyzed by hand." Broom said.
"The old ways were better in my opinion." Hellboy said about to smoke a cigar.
"Put that out." Stacy said making him sigh and grumble making Sean chuckle.
"Anyway they found out where I was and our dog in the fight was a guy named Jonas Savimbi." Woods said.
"I know this guy. He's a key to my operations in Africa." Sean said.
1986
A man screamed as he was being burned alive in a jeep.
"No!" Mason yelled as he tried to break the glass. "I need help over here! Hold on!" Mason yelled trying to break the glass.
"Mason!" Savimbi yelled.
"Savimbi you've got to help!" Mason yelled but it was to late as the man died in the fire.
"It's to late Mason." Tom said.
"Sometimes it's to late to save a man. We must move out, before we join him in death." Savimbi said as one of his men handed him a grenade launcher. "The mortar fire means the MPLA is ready for attack. If they want a fight we give them a fight! MOVE OUT!" Savimbi yelled.
"He's got balls I'll give him that." Sam said.
"No shit." Tom said as the hitched a ride on the Savimbi's vehicle.
"Tom, you copy?" Hudson said on the comms.
"Go ahead Hudson." Tom said.
"MPLA forces advancing on your position, about one klick north." Hudson said.
"Yeah we know Savimbi is leading the counter attack." Mason said as the drove to the mortar fire before it stopped.
"The mortars have stopped." Savimbi said before MPLA forces soon came out to attack. "FIGHT MY BROTHERS!" Savimbi yelled as the battle started.
The Battle was short due to the amount of fire power they had on their side destroying the MPLA.
"Well done my friends." Savimbi said before a soldier approached him whispering something into his ear.
"Wheres Woods?" Tom asked.
"The MPLA is not yet defeated. That's a very dangerous rescue my friends." Savimbi said.
"Where is he?" Packard asked.
"He is being held captive by a Nicaraguan gun runner. A very dangerous man." Savimbi said.
"Where!" Mason asked.
"About two miles north. He's on a transport barge, on the Cubango river." Savimbi said.
Later
"Coming on the convoy now." Hudson said as they flew over the river to the barge where Woods was on.
"Oh shit! Incoming!" Sam yelled as they got hit by rockets before they bailed and landed on the barge.
"Fuck this!" Blain yelled using his mini gun to shred the MPLA to pieces.
"Mason over here!" Tom said going to a container and both pried it open.
"Oh god!" Sam said in disgust seeing the multiple amounts of dead and decaying bodies.
"Bodies are badly decomposed." Hudson said.
"You fucking think?" Wade said.
"Oh good god." Tom said smelling the air before seeing Woods at the edge of the container.
"Woods!" Mason yelled rushing to him and tried to help him up and Billy helped him. "What did they do to him?" Mason asked.
"Hey guys you might want to hurry it up in there!" Ross yelled as an attack helicopter appeared.
"Shit! We got a hind right on us!" Hudson yelled.
"Blain shoot it down!" Tom yelled.
"Got it." Blain said using his mini gun to shred the Hind to pieces before it crashed into the barge making it sink.
"Woods is going under!" Hudson yelled.
"I got him!" Tom yelled diving in and grabbed him before he drowned and they quickly got to shore.
"I got you brother." Wade said helping Woods up.
"Look over there." Sam said pointing to an antenna.
"Village up ahead. They must have a radio we can use to call in for an extraction." Mason said.
"Lets move." Tom said as they quickly moved up to the village and quickly took cover when a patrol came into view.
"What the fuck are Cubans doing here?" Sam asked.
"Shut it." Tom said before a Cuban and some kids with guns arrived.
"They're just kids." Mason said as they left.
"Let's go." Tom said as they made it through the village and made it to a secure area. "Mason get to that antenna and see if you can call in an extraction." Tom said.
"You got it." Mason said heading straight for the building and found a man on the radio talking to someone. Mason pointed his gun at his head. "You're a dead man unless you do exactly as I say. Now tune the radio to..." Mason tried to say before he smashed the radio and stood up slowly.
"You're going to kill me, si?" The man asked before a group of soldiers walked in and Mason put him into a headlock and aimed his pistol at his head.
"Back the fuck up!" Mason yelled before the man pulled the pin on a grenade. "You son of a bitch!" Mason yelled as he threw the Grenade away and shot him in the face and jumped out just as it exploded.
"Mason what the hell!" Tom yelled.
"We need to move now!" Mason yelled as they ran to the river and fought their way there while carrying Woods. As they made it to the river a hind appeared.
"Fucking Russians." Hudson said before it fired at the enemy.
"The hell?" Sam said before the doors opened revealing Savimbi.
"You thought I would leave you my friends? Hurry come." Savimbi said as they landed and Hudson and Mason got Woods on board and flew off.
Present
"So thats how all this Bullshit started." Turok said.
"Language dear." Stacy said making him chuckle.
"Remind me again why exactly Menendez hates us so much?" Sean asked.
"Ask him yourself when you capture him. Piece of advice kid don't underestimate him. Your old man didn't and neither should you. Right now he's trying to stir up trouble between Chine and the US and if that happens bad shit will happen believe me." Woods said.
"I never underestimate my enemies no matter how regular they are. He might not have powers but he's still dangerous." Sean said.
"Then I suggest you guys go find him." Woods said.
Later
"Section you there?" Sean asked on the comms.
"Yeah Sean were here go ahead." Section said.
"Your orders are simple. Infiltrate the facility find what the hell is in there and get the hell out. Right now Metal team is you're only back up." Sean said.
"Copy that commander. Section lets get ready to swing." Harper said.
"Good luck." Sean said.
Section and Harper started swinging across the mountain and got to the other side when a tree fell down snagging the cable they were using and was about to drag them both down when Sandman, Frost and Salazar grabbed it.
"Cut the damn cable!" Sandman yelled getting them to do just that.
"You ok?" Salazar asked.
"Yeah thanks." Section said.
"Wide open. Little more then a skeleton crew. Walk in the park baby." Harper said.
"Don't underestimate Menendez." Salazar said.
"He's right. This guy was on the Generals top list back then before he was captured." Sandman said.
"How many followers does he even have? What a billion?" Harper asked.
"Try 2 billion. They'll never believe their leader is a terrorist." Section said.
"Enough chit-chat we've got a job to do." Sandman said.
"Roger that." Section said.
They used their wing suits to get closer to the structure where the enemy was stationed at.
"You seeing this shit?" Harper said seeing a few of them turn invisible.
"Chameleon suits." Sandman said.
"On your go Section." Harper said.
Section and his team fired their way through the enemy lines before they got to a temple of sorts.
"The hell?" Harper said.
"Command this is Section. Surface installation neutralized. Moving to investigate secondary structure." Section said.
"Roger that. Admiral Briggs is on his way with reinforcements." Lane said.
"Copy that. Lets move." Sections said as they made their way into the temple only to find metal walls inside.
"Holy shit." Harper said.
"What we saw was just a front." Section said.
"Walls are several Meters thick. We'll lose comms inside." Salazar said.
"Overlord we're heading inside a lab we'll lose contact." Section said on the comms.
"Understood." Lane said
Section and the team made they're way through the enemy and came across some sort of strange vault.
"Section hack into the computers." Sandman said.
"Right." Section said doing just that. "It's some type of new Earth Element in there. It's called Celerium. This doesn't make any sense." Section said reading through the files.
"What is it?" Harper asked.
"This stuff alone has more power then the entire military infrastructure. Theres something about a cyber weapon named Karma. Theres no other intel on it." Section said before they opened the vault and secured the Celerium.
"Section!" Sean yelled entering the lab.
"Sean over here." Section said as he approached him with a few clone commandos. "You need to see this." Section said handing him the data.
"I heard rumors about this but I didn't think it was real. This could advance the military ten fold with this stuff." Sean said.
"What do you think Menendez was planning on using it for sir?" Harper asked.
"If I'm reading this right he could compromise our security with one single chip of this stuff. Hopefully this is the entire supply." Sean said
Later
"I cant figure out Menendez without getting inside his fucking head." Section said.
"Join the club." Sean said sitting down before looking at Salazar. "Hey Salazar you grew up during his rise to power. Why does he hate us so much?" Sean asked making him sigh.
"During the cold war. As a boy he witnessed the contras murder and rape his people. In 1972 there was a colossal earthquake. His family lost everything. A year later the only thing he ever loved his sister was crippled in a fire. Raul and his father sold drugs on the streets and became powerful and almost untouchable. The CIA ordered an assassination mission on his father." Salazar said.
"So now Menendez fucking hates us and started selling weapons in Afghanistan to build his own private army. My dad along with Lane and Eiling went with Mason and Woods back then in 1986." Sean said.
1986
"This is so fucking stupid." Wade said as they were covered up to protect them from the sun.
"Oh can it now." Tom said.
"Hey guys its show time." Woods said coming down the cliff.
"See anything up there?" Mason asked.
"Sand and more fucking sand." Woods said getting Tom and Sam to chuckle.
"Really think we can trust the Chinese?" Sam asked.
"I don't see why not. They've got a stake in this to Sam." Tom said as a group of horses arrived with a man named Zaho.
"Major Kruger." Zaho said greeting him.
"Zaho. We got the weapons." Tom said.
"Very good. I will take you to the leader of the Mujahideen." Zaho said as they got on the horses and rode off to the base but before they did Tom saw a skeleton with a sword in the chest and pulled it out.
"Whoa. What are you going to do with that?" Sam asked.
"Hmm Maybe as a souvenir." Tom said before they rode off to the base.
"General Kruger I don't think you fully understand my request." Rahmaan said.
"I understand just perfectly fine but I'm not going to just hand over weapons to you just for information. I asked for the best in the army to come here to help you. They protect your people and you give us information on Menendez." Joe Kruger said.
"Dad?" Tom said entering the room.
"Your son?" Rahmaan said.
"The best in the army. These are his squad mates Sam and Wade along with Woods and Mason." Joe said.
"Whats the situation?" Tom asked.
"The Russians are about to launch an attack on the area. We need this area secured. Once we stop the Russians then we get intel on Menendez." Joe said before the base shook. "Ah shit. Son you know what to do." Joe said.
"Got it old man." Tom said before they went to help defend the base.
Present
"Father told me about this old mission back then. Said it went south big time." Hellboy said taking a puff from his cigar.
"I know." Sean said.
1986
Tom and his group had successfully defended the base but it had hit a snag. A russian Mason was familiar with. Kravchenko who had tried to brainwash Mason with numbers to kill the President years ago. Mason and Woods thought he was dead but now here he was alive.
"This is Kravchenko? I thought you said he was dead." Tom said to his father.
"Thats what Mason told me. Then again Russians are difficult to kill." Joe said.
As they interrogated him Mason hands began to twitch so Tom had taken away his weapons just as a precaution.
"He even has spies in the CIA." Kravchenko said.
"Ok I've heard enough of this." Joe said shooting him in the head. Just then the Mujahideen aimed their weapons at them.
"The hell is this?" Woods said.
"Menendez said you must suffer." Rahmaan said before Tom put him in a headlock snapping his neck and quickly fired at them.
"We need to move now!" Tom yelled as they fought they're way through the enemy who had turned on them and quickly got on the horses and got away.
present
"This is why Lane has an issue with other countries not entirely allied with the US." Sean said sitting up.
"What I don't understand is why Menendez is so pissed off at us. Killing his father yeah I can relate but going this far. What set him over the edge?" Turok asked.
"I don't know. Grandma seemed pretty distant from answering that." Sean said.
Later
"Officers on deck!" Section said.
"At ease." Tom said getting the troops to sit down.
"Now as many of you know Tian Zaho is the chairman of China and the leader of it's military. He's been causing trouble for allies of ours for some time. Global Tech has just been given the green light to engage SDC forces invading allied soil." Lane said.
"Earlier today one of our facilities was attacked by the SDC. They will strike again. We cannot lose this facility. You'll all be going in to protect this facility." Eiling said.
"Who's our backup?" A soldier asked.
"Right now the best backup you got are the Defenders. The others are in the field getting ready incase Menendez attacks any allied country." Sean said.
Later
"Mission successful." Punisher said as the remaining SDC forces pulled back due to heavy losses.
"Excellent work Frank." Sean said.
Tom was about to head out when his son stopped him.
"Hey Dad. I got a question. Why does Menendez hate us so much?" Sean asked making him sigh.
"Son if you really want to know you better ask Woods." Tom said.
"Why cant you tell me?" Sean asked.
"It's uh difficult for me to remember that day." Tom said walking off.
Sean arrived back at the Retirement home.
"So your old man wouldn't talk? Not surprising. I screwed up really bad that day. You see we had finally found Menendez back in 86. We had the aid of the Nicaragua. Manuel Noriega had made deal with us. Your Grandfather didn't exactly like the idea of us fighting beside these guys for good reason. What we did in Nicaragua was a fucking huge mistake." Woods said.
"What happened?" Sean asked.
"We don't target civilians but these guys they didn't seem to care." Woods said.
"Oh. Is that why my dad doesn't like to remember that day?" Sean asked.
"It's part of the reason. You see you dad along with Sam and Wade went with us to capture Menendez along with your dad's old buddy Dillion and Hudson." Woods said.
1986
"There he is." Joe said looking through his scope on his sniper seeing Menendez with some woman.
"Who's the girl?" Tom asked looking through his binoculars.
"Doesn't matter she's not the target." Dillion said.
"Probably just a whore." Woods said before Tom smacked him upside the head. "Ow! What?" Woods said confused making him sigh.
"And you wonder why your still single." Tom said making Sam and Wade chuckle.
"Fuck you." Woods said.
"Shut it all of you." Joe said as Menendez was captured by their temporary allies. "Alright lets go." Joe said.
They made their way to the compound when Hudson spotted something.
"No it cant be." Hudson said.
"What?" Tom said.
"Fucking Noriega said he would keep Menendez captured." Hudson said making Woods glare.
"MENENDEZ!" Woods yelled but Tom and Sam held him back.
"Knock it off! We have a job to do. Don't let your personal grudge against him get in the way of the mission got it!" Tom yelled in his face making Woods growl before sighing.
"Yeah I got it." Woods said.
"Alright lets move." Joe said as they continued to fight they're way through the enemy and made it into the compound and down into the coke lab. Tom was about to go down when.
"Tom." Dillion said stopping him. "Keep an eye on Woods. Seeing Menendez again is making him lose it." Dillion said.
"Don't worry Dillion I got his back. You just capture that asshole." Tom said heading down. Tom and his group made their way through the lab when a file caught Sam's attention and grabbed and read it making him widen his eyes.
"Tom you better see this." Sam said handing him the file.
"The fuck? The CIA?" Tom said before Woods made it up the ladder.
"Damit Woods!" Mason yelled making them rush after him. Woods got to a door and kicked it down and Menendez was at the other end of the hall.
"MENENDEZ!" Woods yelled firing at him only for Tom to push him into the wall while Hudson and Dillion tried to secure Menendez. Woods shoved Tom off him and threw a Grenade into the room Menendez was in earlier and it went off.
Tom slowly came to.
"You alright Tomas?" Joe asked helping his son up.
"Yeah I'm alright. Wheres Menendez?" Tom asked seeing a body bag being taken away.
"Thats him. Your buddy killed him." Dillion said making Tom sigh.
present
"I'm not seeing how this has anything to do with Menendez hating us." Sean said.
"His sister was in the room." Woods said making Sean widen his eyes.
"What? Damnit Woods! What the fuck did Menendez do to you in Angola?" Sean asked making him sigh.
"Kid if theres one thing you should be lucky about is that things are less brutal in this century then it was in ours. He tortured my men one by one. He wanted to know what the CIA had on him. So yeah when I saw him I lost my shit. You would do the same if someone hurt your sisters." Woods said.
"Ah don't bring that up. Ok so you accidentally killed his sister. Why are you still alive? He had a perfect chance to do so when he gave my grandmother that pendent." Sean said.
"The dead don't suffer kid." Woods said.
Later
"Dad." Sean said approaching his father.
"Find what you wanted to know?" Tom asked looking over files.
"Why didn't you ever tell me Woods killed Menendez's sister?" Sean asked.
"My job back then was rescue missions not assassinations. It didn't sit well with me. Sam has no problem sending troops to do that if they are far to dangerous but I do. Thats why we stuck to rescue ops back then." Tom said.
"Theres something your both not telling me isn't there?" Sean said.
"You'll find out soon enough." Tom said. "Right now we've got a new mission. Get Superman and his cousins to the briefing room." Tom said.
Minutes later
"Alright next mission is a little more difficult hence why our big guns are here." Sean said referring to Superman, SuperGirl and PowerGirl.
"Whats the situation?" Superman asked.
"These." Sean said showing a picture of advanced missiles. "Mach 7 missiles capable of destroying any of our carriers both in the air and the sea such as the Obama." Sean said.
"Where are they?" SuperGirl asked.
"Singapore. You'll have a group of Clone Commandos assisting you." Sean said.
Later
"Sir Mission successful." A commando said as they destroyed the carrier containing the missiles.
"Outstanding." Tom said.
"Whats the next mission?" Briggs asked.
"Menendez is in Pakistan meeting with his right hand man DeFalco. This is going to be a more tricky situation for us since the whole place is flooded." Lane said.
"Tricky for regular soldiers but not for highly trained spies." Sean said grinning.
"Meaning?" Briggs asked.
"Lane get Natasha, Sam, Clover, Alex, Donna and Britney. They're the best choice for this mission." Sean said.
"That is an outstanding idea. I'll get them ready." Lane said.
Later
Natasha and her group soon managed to find Menendez who was talking to DeFalco about the Cyber weapon called Karma.
"What is Karma?" Sam asked in curiosity.
"Don't know sweetheart but it cant be good. Don't forget he's planing a Cyber attack using the Celerium." Black Widow said.
"Hang on." Donna said taking a quick photo of an emblem on DeFalco's right arm.
"Nice work." Black Widow said before they quickly left without being seen.
Later
"Absolutely incredible." Briggs said beyond impressed.
"I have the best of the best old man. Now before we review this intel we have a new mission." Sean said.
"Oh come on. You cant be serious we got to help Russia and Afghanistan?" Lane said.
"Look I know Russia started a war with us a few months ago but get over it that was all Makarov." Sean said making him sigh.
"Fine. Whats the situation?" Lane asked.
"Simple protecting both presidents as they discuss peace treaties. However Menendez has ordered a kill order on both of them. This will spike tension between the two. So our job is to protect the convoy as they head to Pelican extraction." Sean said.
"Giving us the perfect place to set up the peace talks." Briggs said impressed.
"The peace talks will take place aboard one of SHIELD's carriers held by Nick Fury." Sean said.
"Alright lets get to work." Lane said.
"I called in for StarScream and Jetfire to protect the convoy." Sean said.
Later
"Ha we got them on the run!" Jetifre said as the convoy was airborne.
"Outstanding." Briggs said.
"This is why I love allies." Sean said grinning.
"Now then I believe we have some intel to go over." Tom said.
"Yup." Sean said pulling the photo of the emblem Donna took.
"Wait a second. I recognize that emblem. It the colossus." Talbot said.
"That was a project my company worked on during the third year. A small precent of our finance comes from that." Sean said.
"Damn." Tom said looking at the photo of the floating city. "That must have costed a fortune to build." Tom said.
"You have no idea. I built it as a vacation spot for the Twins during when they were on summer vacation." Sean said.
"Get Section and his team ready for deployment." Briggs said.
"I'll get a few others to come with them." Sean said.
Later
"Farid You sure this is going to work?" Harper asked the CIA spy in Cordis Die.
"It will trust me." Farid said. In the group was Section, Harper, Salazar, Red Hood and Punisher.
"Your ID bands will identify you as union inspectors. Since Sean owns this entire place you'll have access to anywhere on the city." Farid said.
"When this is over remind me to ask him for a paid vacation here." Harper said making Punisher chuckle.
"Yeah sure right after he kicks your dumbass for asking something so stupid." Red Hood said as they made it inside the place.
"So this is how the 1% live." Salazar said.
"Got to hand it to the boss he sure knows how to impress people." Harper said as they made it into the elevator.
"Harper you and Frank head outside and sweep the floor. Salazar, Jason and I will to the insertion point." Section said.
"You got it." Harper said as they headed off the elevator and Harper bumped into a woman. "Whoa! How you doing, Beautiful." Harper said.
"Excuse you creep." The woman said as the doors closed. They soon approached where they needed to be and some armed men soon attacked them but they were faster and took them down.
"What the hell?" Punisher said.
"Menendez must have his men in the city." Section said before inputing a code to one of the locked doors and they soon burst they're way through the enemy and soon approached the server controls.
"Alright let's see what we can find." Punisher said.
"Placing the Uplink. Search supply manifest key word Karma." Section said but no results were found. "Search automated security systems key word Karma." Section said but still got nothing. "Damnit we're missing something." Section said.
"Try security image database." Punisher said making him do just that and found what they were looking for.
"Got it." Section said. "Karma isn't a weapon its a woman." Section said getting an image of a woman with a symbol for Karma on her neck.
"What better why to start a cyber attack then with a hacker?" Punisher said.
"Harper we found Karma. It's a woman." Section said.
"ID lists her as Chloe Lynch." Farid said.
"Hey thats the chick I saw in the elevator." Harper said.
"OverLord we found Karma. It's not a weapon it's a woman. We're going to need backup on this." Section said.
"Roger that. Clone gunships are in route to your location. Secure Karma at all costs." Lane said.
Section and his group made their way to Harper and Red Hood who had Chloe in their custody before the ship shook violently and DeFalco and his men took Chloe before they could react.
"Damnit!" Section yelled before republic gunships arrived and landed troops for them.
"Commander." One of the commandos said.
"We have to find Chloe before DeFalco gets off this city." Section said.
Section and his forces soon found DeFalco and Punisher quickly shot him in the face killing him.
"Without your expertise Menendez's plans for Celerium will have hit a roadblock." Section said to Chloe.
"It may slow him down but he'll get what he wants. Trust me." Chloe said.
Later
Sean went back to the retirement home and found Woods outside.
"Hey Kid. I was wondering how long you would take to get here." Woods said making him chuckle.
"Look Woods I need to know the truth about what you and my dad aren't telling me." Sean said making him sigh.
"I figured as much. When we thought we had finally taken down Menendez in 86 a year later he showed up again and it's the last straw for the CIA and trust me they were even more pissed once they learned Noriega was involved with him. So we decided to ruin his reputation. This was 2 years after your old man encountered that hunter." Woods said.
1989
Woods got out of his jeep parked in front of a house before Tom, Sam and Wade did the same along with Mason.
"Hey guys." Tom said.
"Long time general Tom." Woods said making Tom chuckle. He was at the rank of a three star general now. Sam was at 2 and Wade was at the rank of Colonel.
They went out back where Tom was keeping the needed stuff to ruin Noriega's reputation.
"Why the fuck aren't we killing this guy?" Woods asked.
"My dad wants us to ruin his reputation only instead of making him a martyr." Tom said taking a drink from his flask.
"Being a six star General has it's advantages." Sam said.
"Says the guys who actually fought and killed a fucking alien." Woods said.
"Technically it killed itself with a bomb." Tom said.
"Same thing. I still cant believe you guys actually fought one." Woods said.
"It cost me three of my men and killed Dillion. But at least we got something out of it." Tom said.
Present
"Ruin his reputation and prevent any uprising in his name smart. So what went wrong?" Sean asked.
"Hudson on the comms. It just felt so off you know. It just kept gnawing at me." Woods said.
"What do you mean?" Sean asked.
1989
"Hey what the hell!" Sam yelled as the bombing began early.
"Hudson what are you doing! Hudson! Damnit!" Tom yelled.
"Fucking Comms!" Wade yelled as they made it to shore and started to make their way towards where Noriega was at.
"Tom." Hudson said on the comms.
"Hudson what the hell. Bombing started way to early there are still civilians here." Tom said.
"Get to False Prophet now." Hudson said.
"Hudson? Damnit!" Tom said.
"Something doesn't fell right." Wade said.
"I know." Tom said as they made it to the hotel and killed the guards.
"What are you doing?" Noriega asked as Tom unload the bag containing drugs and contraband.
"Sealing your Reputation." Mason said.
"Hudson we've got False Prophet. Moving to extraction." Tom said.
"Negative. Stand by for new tasking. Objective false Prophet has intel on a Nexus Target. Escort him as PC to prisoner exchange." Hudson said.
"Now wait a minute. This wasn't the plan. Who is Nexus Target?" Tom asked.
"You have your orders." Hudson said.
"The fuck is this all about?" Wade asked.
"Hell if I know. But orders are orders." Tom said.
Present
"Why did the mission just suddenly change? You don't do that unless it's of the upmost importance." Sean said.
"Yeah thats what we all thought. Like I said I just knew something was wrong. And I was right." Woods said.
1989
"Tom where are you guys?" Woods asked as he and Mason were on top of a building.
"I honestly don't know. Hudson...Ordered..." Tom tried to say as the comms bugged out.
"Fucking Comms!" Mason yelled as they approached the end of the building.
"Hudson who is nexus target?" Woods asked.
"It's him Woods. Nexus Target is Raul Menendez." Hudson said making Woods glare.
"You should have told us." Woods said as Menendez came out with a rag over his head.
Woods aimed his riffle at him and fired.

"Wait hold on I'm confused." Sean said.
"Just let me finish kid." Woods said.
1989
Woods and Mason made their way to Menendez's dead body while Noriega looked smug.
"The fuck are you so smug about?" Woods asked while he had a bad feeling about this and he and Mason rushed to the body and pulled the bag over his head.
"JOE!" Woods yelled seeing his friend dead.
"Fool." Noriega said before Mason was knocked out and someone shot Wood's legs crippling him.
"Menendez!" Woods yelled in anger.
Present
Sean drew shaky breaths as he laid on the grass about what he was just told.
1989
"Your countries most famous war hero is dead. By your own hand. Do you know why?" Menendez asked.
"He was going to kill David." Hudson said.
"Because you most suffer as I have suffered! Now one more must die. You, Tom or Woods!" Menendez said as Tom was tied up along with Sam and Wade.
"Woods I cant I have two kids they..." Hudson tried to say but Menendez pumped his shotgun. "Fuck! Ok me! Do it. DO IT!" Hudson yelled and he shot his legs like he did Woods and then used his pendent to slit his throat.

"There was nothing you could have done Woods." Sean said.
"Me, Mason and your Grandfather were the best and we still couldn't take him down." Woods said.
"He hasn't dealt with me though." Sean said as the white fire engulfed his eyes making him chuckle.
"Go get him kid. You'd make your grandfather proud." Woods said.
Later
"Ok I'm done playing fucking games." Sean said entering the briefing room.
"Glad to hear it." Lane said.
"President Clinton just gave us the green light to kill Chairmen Zaho. Frank you and the Defenders are up in five." Sean said.
"You got it." Punisher said.
"I guess Woods told you the truth." Tom said.
"You should have told me dad." Sean said.
"I didn't want you to be consumed by revenge. It's not what your grandfather would have wanted for you." Tom said.
"I am above simple revenge. I get the job done." Sean said.
Later
"HA! Finally!" Sean yelled as Zaho was dead.
"Outstanding." Briggs said.
"Hey guys you might want to see this." Hellboy said.
"What is it Red?" Sean asked.
"Chloe just hacked into Menendez's files and found out when the attack is scheduled to begin. Its tomorrow." Hellboy said.
"Tomorrow?" Sean asked.
"Yup." Hellboy said.
"Get Section. I want Menendez brought in now." Sean said.
Later
The mission was a success however though they lost Harper during the fight against Cordis Die.
"Premier Chen has pledged China's military support to all US Operations." Tarken said to Sean and Briggs.
"SDC is finished Governor Tarken. America and China joining forces truly marks the beginning of a new era." Briggs said.
"One we should all be proud of." Tarken said as the Pelican containing Menendez arrived before landing and Section and Salazar walked off along with Menendez. "President Clinton sends her regards." Tarken said.
"Get this cocksucker off my flight deck." Briggs said.
Menendez was being interrogated by Salazar and Briggs.
"I will speak only to Sean Ashburn Kruger. Bring him to me." Menendez said.
"Commander?" Briggs said as Sean opened the door and walked in. "Don't lose your focus son. I'll be on the bridge." Briggs said as he left and Sean sat down in front of him.
"I have watched you for a long time boy. Becoming a bigger legend then your Grandfather ever was. Ending the third world war. Allying our world with other planets and universes." Menendez said.
"You killed my Grandfather." Sean said glaring at him.
"I truly had nothing but respect for Joesph Kruger when he was alive. A man who in the heat of war losing his three brothers still went on fighting for his country and his beliefs. A man who obtained an impossible rank a true war hero to the world. However though he served the wrong people. And now you will see why." Menendez said.
"Commander we have a situation." Briggs said.
"What is it?" Sean asked.
"We're tracking a passenger entering the Obama's airspace. Wait are those birds?" Briggs said seeing multiple signals appearing.
"Oh come on. He's moves a fucking inch you put a bullet in his brain you got that." Sean said about to leave when his back was turned and something hit his head knocking him out.
Sean slowly came to when Hellboy shook him up
"Ugh what the fuck hit me?" Sean asked standing up.
"Menendez is gone kid." Hellboy said.
"Son of a bitch! Find him!" Sean yelled as they rushed out of the room.
"Commander we have no choice but to restart the Obama's systems." Briggs said.
"Are you out of your mind thats suicide!" Sean yelled as they got to the control room.
"Better not having any systems then have this ship destroy the fleet." Briggs said.
"Goddamnit." Sean said as the comms stopped working.
"Sir we've got security footage." One of the technicians said.
"Oh boy." Hellboy said seeing Menendez was outside the room where Briggs was at.
"Damnit! Red we got to move!" Sean yelled as they rushed to where Briggs was at.
Once they got there they found Briggs alive but wounded along with Chloe who was knocked out.
"Check the wounded!" Sean said looking at the systems. "FUCK! This was his plan. He wanted to get captured so he could insert the Celerium into our systems. We need to inform the Pentagon." Sean said.
"Sir Republic and Covenant forces have arrived. The Obama is secured." Salazar said.
"Good to know. Red lets go." Sean said.
Later
Sean along with Hellboy and Section were in a Military Pelican that had the President on board who was telling to Premier Chen.
"Republic and Covenant forces have been dispatched to Chine in the event Menendez attacks." President Clinton said.
"Thank you Madam President. Your actions speak louder then any words." Premier Chen said before his Transmission ended.
"Madam President. Sean Ashburn Kruger and his team believe its best that you be transported off world till we've captured Menendez." The secretary of Defense said.
"Ma'm I believe Menendez is still planning on targeting you."
"Uh guys." Hellboy said before they got hit with a rocket.
"Oh crap. Brace for impact!" Sean yelled as they crashed.
Soon they got on a ground transport and headed to shelter.
"Commander I want these Drones dealt with. Use whatever you can." President Clinton said.
"Well I do have one suggestion ma'm but I need your approval first." Sean said.
"What is it?" She asked.
"With your Permission perhaps I could send out a signal to call in one of our Primordial friends specifically one Lizard." Sean said.
"Do whatever you have to." Clinton said.
"Lane send out the signal bring him to shore." Sean said on the comms.
"You got it son." Lane said sending out a signal to bring in Godzilla.
The Tide of the battle soon turned once Godzilla came ashore destroying most of the drones before they retreated.
Later
Global Tech had tracked the signal to Heiti where Menendez was broadcasting his signal to control the entire US drone fleet. Every Hero Every soldier was heading in including Every Ghost Rider.
"Drop!" Sean yelled as they deployed down to find Menendez.
Sean soon found Menendez in US uniform and soon had a gun pointed at his head glaring at him.
"Martyr me. For Cordis Die." Menendez said making Sean Growl about to pull the trigger but didn't.
"NO. My grandfather wouldn't so neither will I." Sean said pulling him up and pushed him to the others as all the enemy soldiers were surrendering.
Meanwhile
Woods, Broom, Mason and Stacy were in a room when someone knocked.
"Do not enter." Woods said but someone did enter. "I swear to god. I will shove this wheel chair right up your..." Woods tried to say.
"Just try it." The person said. "You guys except her look like hell." The Person said while Stacy looked on in shock in disbelief.
"You stay right fucking there." Woods said shoving the person seeing he was real.
"Joseph?" Stacy said walking slowly to him as he took her hand gently and kissed her.
"Hello dear." Joe Kruger said making her start crying.
"Joe? I shot you." Woods said.
"You always were a lousy shot." Joe said sitting down with his wife.
"My ass where the fuck you been for 31 years?" Woods asked.
Later
"Tom Kruger and my family here to see Stacy Kruger." Tom said to the security guard.
"Another Kruger?" The Guard said.
"Huh?" Sean said as they entered the room.
"Hey kids." Woods said laughing.
"What the hell Woods?" Hellboy said.
"Hey kids let me introduce you to someone. Joe these are the kids." Woods said.
"Hello." Sean said.
"Kids...This is your Grandfather." Woods said shocking everyone while Tom looked at his father in shock as the legendary six star general stood up.
"Dad?" Tom said in shock.
"What the fuck is with everyone in this family coming back from the dead?" Sean asked making Joe chuckle.
"Oh boy you remind me of myself. Then again your better then me or your father." Joe said placing his hand on his shoulder.
