BOOM!
But before Ethan could say anything there was an explosion by the door they came in through. It flew through the room and over the other three thanks to the younger Carter's quick reactions in pushing them down to dodge it. Ethan was off to the side so he was only showered with some dust.
On the other side of the room another door exploded off the hinges and Hydra soldiers began flooding the room. Aiming their weapons at them. Ethan slowly turned off and hid the device. While he assessed how many of them there were.
The other three were similarly getting prepared. The older Carter and the man pulled out pistols and pointed them at the other door. While the younger Carter pulled out her shield and held it out against the side Ethan was closer to.
For a minute there was no movement from either side until a slow clapping could be heard as another few people entered the room on both sides. Nearest Ethan, the Red Skull along with a bulky blonde woman carrying a heavy machine gun entered. On the other side of the room a man in a silver samurai armor carrying a katana entered.
"Captain Carter. The woman who failed the Allies and the world. You could not even save your own home country." Red Skull looked over the others. "Then there is your doppelganger and the man that came with her. I must say I cannot wait to go to your world to conquer it like I have conquered this one."
"You will never win Skull." The younger Carter growled out.
Red Skull chuckled before looking at Ethan, "and who are you my friend? Will you tell me or will I have to dissect you to find out?"
Ethan refrained from answering and instead continued looking over their weapons realizing they were all the same unstable energy based concept that was used back in his world. They had several flaws including that the energy could be easily dispersed. For instance the experimental armor design Ethan was wearing could easily disperse the energy of a focused beam. So an unstable one was no issue.
Red Skull frowned, "seems your friend does not care for his life." Red Skull quickly pulled out a Luger and aimed it at Ethan.
"No!"
BANG!
Ethan reeled back in surprise and fell backwards after the bullet hit his mask. Not because it injured him but because he tripped on a pipe. It took him a moment to process that they thought the bullet had killed him. Maybe he should play along for a bit while he assessed everything he knew and what he needed to do.
As far as he can tell he needs to get Peggy Carter and her partner out of this pocket dimension to their own proper time. Then he needs to locate the two cores, which at least one of them is the Peggy Carter of this dimension or something on her at least. Finally he needs to make his exit and escape this dimension all while these Hydra Nazis come gunning after them.
Yup, this was going to be the most annoying thing Ethan had to deal with in awhile. Or was it, he had built up a bunch of stress lately, this could be a good way to relieve all that stress. Yeah now that he was thinking about it- Oh wait they are shooting now.
Ethan watched as his new allies began backing up as one side was shooting at them. "What are we going to do? We are in a tight spot here!" Ethan could hear the man yell between the sound of gunfire and the zapping noise of those energy based guns.
He quietly stood up and moved behind the soldiers. He grabbed one of his emp grenades and tossed it behind them through the door that Red Skull and the tall blonde woman had come out of. Then he snapped the neck of the nearest Hydra soldier and pulled his unstable energy gun out of his hand.
Then he began faring quickly killing several of them. Red Skull and the tall woman spun around. Ethan aimed at Red Skull and fired but the blonde woman tackled him out of the way and Ethan clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Time to go you three!" Ethan called out and slowly moved backwards while covering them. They quickly ran past Red Skull and the tall blonde as the other side began laying in fire to them and the silver samurai began marching towards them. He was the focus of Ethan's attacks so he kept using his katana to block shots.
When they exited the door they froze as there were several Hydra soldiers but they looked dazed and confused while their unstable energy weapons did not have the blue glow they usually did.
Ethan pushed them forward and began running down the tunnel. "Do not stop moving!" He reminded them as he led the way forward and turned around to keep shooting behind them.
"How are you alive? He shot you in the head!" The older Carter asked as they began jumping up onto the subway platform.
Ethan hit his mask with a finger, "bulletproof. But I tripped on a pipe."
The younger Carter began laughing as they made their way to the subway exit with her leading the way. She ran out and yelled, "shit!" Then she held up her shield.
BOOM!
There was a bright blue impact as an unstable energy discharge slammed into her shield. Ethan was momentarily blinded before he blinked the spots out of his eyes and he could see again. She had disappeared and the spot she was at had turned red from the heat of the laser. Ethan ran out to the middle of the road and saw the giant tank that had fired the unstable energy.
Ethan pulled out an emp grenade and tossed it toward the tank before he looked in the other direction and saw that the younger Carter had impacted into the side of a car. Her shield was gone. Probably flew off after the impact. The other two followed him out as he went to help her up.
"You okay?" Ethan asked.
"Uh, yeah. Where's my shield?" She asked
"No clue. Come on, we need to get off the streets." Ethan then began running towards an alley. They moved quietly through the alley and to another street.
"What did you do to that tank? It stopped working." The man asked as Ethan peaked around a corner confirming the street was empty.
"Future technology, I cannot tell you." Ethan explained quickly while jogging out into the street. He was moving to another alley. He was focused on speed and losing anyone that was chasing them. So he never saw the sniper until it was too late.
BANG!
Ethan's head tilted to the side slightly as the bullet ricocheted off his mask. There was a muted impact as it hit the person directly to his left. A sniper round caused a scratch but that was about it. He was fortunate it was not a few inches back because it would have gone through his head. He needed to pay more attention to his surroundings from now on. This was not his world where they would not try to kill first.
"Ah!" The young Carter screamed in pain while bringing a hand to her side where the bullet penetrated into. The blood was already pouring out around her hand. The older Carter stepped forward and helped the younger Carter get across the street moving towards a closed pub.
Ethan pulled one of his knives and threw it. With pinpoint accuracy it slammed into the eye of the Hydra soldier's face mask. Penetrating it and killing the soldier. The soldier fell from the window and crashed onto the sidewalk.
He then ran after the Carters with the man as they entered the pub. But after they entered they froze at the sight of several weapons pointed at them. This pub was not as empty as it seemed.
