Chapter 12: Attack on hydra part 2
(Hydra Base entrance)
Viper, one of the best Hydra agents, is the keeper of the base. She kidnapped many young mutants and turned them into Hydra dogs. She is a heartless monster who genuinely enjoys torturing her victims. Hydra informed her that they are going to change the world for the better, and now Hydra is close to their goal. She was now on high alert to stop any incoming threats.
Hydra had a mutant who could share the power of one mutant with others (humans), but the people would also face side effects. But when Hydra was close to their goal, suddenly this mutant was on the edge of death. They didn't have enough time to create a clone, so they decided to use Rogue until they completed the goal.
She knows the X-Men are going to come to this place because she is the one who kidnapped the mutant Rogue. Stryker, one of the Hydra scientists, ordered her to do so for experiments. Stryker, with the help of Mister Sinister, used Rogue's absorbing power and made Rogue absorb a mutant who had the power to share with Red Skull and selected Hydra agents.
Red Skull was alive and had waited all these years after his defeat at Captain America's hands to reach his world peace goal. After escaping from Captain America, who took the Space Stone from him, Red Skull jumped from the plane into the ocean. Somehow, he survived with his superpower strength. His Hydra team took him and saved him. Then he started to search for another tool that could help him dominate the world. He found a powerful object: the Cosmic Cube, which has the power to rewrite the world permanently.
When he found it, the Cosmic Cube was already broken. He then ordered Hydra to search the whole world to collect the remaining pieces of the Cosmic Cube. Many years later, he finally collected all the parts of the Cosmic Cube. Now, in a few hours, he is going to change the world's reality by connecting himself to the Earth's core with the Cosmic Cube's powers.
But he faced a big problem. The Cosmic Cube was rejecting Red Skull's attempts to use its power. So Red Skull tried to use Rogue's powers to share her absorbing power with himself. Then he would forcefully try to use the Cosmic Cube's powers and connect himself to the Earth's core.
Once the connection is finished, he will become the New God. But Red Skull doesn't know that if the Cosmic Cube allows him to use its power, then he doesn't need to connect himself to the Earth's core to change the world's reality.
(A/N: I know Rogue can't absorb power from Infinity Stones, but the Cosmic Cube is a powerful living thing and has consciousness, so that's why it is rejecting Red Skull. So Rogue can absorb the Cube's powers to some low limit. If the Cosmic Cube tries, it can stop Rogue, but the Cosmic Cube has little child intelligence, so Red Skull can easily use the Cube's powers.)
Now, in a few hours, Red Skull will absorb the Cosmic Cube's powers then connect himself with earth core to rewrite the world. So Hydra is on high alert to stop the X-Men before they ruin Red Skull's plan.
Bastion is also one of the few selected Hydra agents who received the first Cosmic Cube as a test subject, and he succeeded in using a little power. After the success, Red Skull made an Ironman suit that Hydra got from Obadiah Stane Lab data.
Now, a powerful, huge Ironman suit with the Cosmic Cube as a core reactor. With this, Red Skull and his Hydra agents will rule the world and take all freedom from Earth.
Bastion suddenly sensed people appearing in front of their base. After absorbing 0.001% (the lowest) of cosmic cube powers, he gained many abilities, including telepathy. He panicked upon sensing powerful individuals.
"Hydra on high alert! Enemies spotted! Level 4 danger. I repeat, level 4 danger," he broadcasted to everyone.
Instantly, they started to prepare to face the enemies.
Viper, after receiving the message, instructed everyone to protect the entrance of the base.
"You dogs, use anti-mutant gene-targeting weapons and sonic/vibration-based weapons on those mutants. I want to see those mutants face our weapon babies. I want to see my dear Logan's face when he see his friends death," Viper smiled evilly, uttering her LAST words before her demise.
The next moment, the entire Hydra gate entrance was blown away by fire, born from the powerful sun itself and wielded by the Son of the Sun. Those sun flames burned them all to ashes.

{Ritsuka POV}
We suddenly teleported in front of the Hydra gate, which looked similar to the Red Skull's base gate in the Captain America movie.
"Karna, now," I said, and in the next moment, before they could use their weapons, Karna used his power to attack the gate with fire born from the sun with his lance.
"Holy cow! This is amazing! Solar Stick!" Tony exclaimed, giving Karna a new nickname. Da Vinci laughed at his naming.
"Now we can talk through earbuds, so Queen Morgan and Karna, report immediately. It seems like there is only one way to reach underground," Da Vinci said, analyzing the whole place and finding one door to the underground.
"Everyone, don't use your mana because we need as much power as possible to face the final villain. It seems like we need to go through everyone. Change to plan B," I said, creating a mana shield around us. I observed that all of them were well-prepared. I had hoped for a secret operation.
"Told you I like Plan B," Tony said, then flew inside and started attacking the snipers who were ready to strike.
"Time to kill Nazi bastards," Tony said, launching energy attacks at all the enemies. With Jarvis' help, he targeted Hydra's powerful weapons, causing explosions that blew the Hydra agents away.
I saw a huge tower in the middle of the base. It felt familiar, reminiscent of the Greek goddess Artemis's attack, but not as powerful.
"Jarvis, scan the tower."
Jarvis scanned and reported, "Sir, this tower itself is a weapon, and it is about to launch an attack in 5 seconds towards you."
"Dammit," I said, creating a huge magical barrier around us. A sudden powerful white light attacked us. Recognizing it as cosmic power, I recalled a similar attack when I faced Goddess Durga, Mother of the Cosmos.
But I didn't understand how Hydra could wield it.
After the attack ended, I called out, "Tony."
"On my way," Tony replied, using his full speed to reach the tower. He unleashed his laser attacks on the tower, destroying it. However, Tony couldn't use his laser attacks again due to overheating.
Suddenly, someone attacked Tony in mid-air, causing him to crash to the ground.
Tony stood up and saw a masked figure with a mechanical arm—it was Bucky Barnes. Bucky and Tony engaged in close combat. Tony noticed a light glowing from Bucky's eyes, similar to the tower's previous attack. Just before Bucky could overpower Tony, who had limited experience, Dantes rushed towards him and attacked with his Vengeance Flames, sending Bucky crashing into the tower wall.
"Hahahaha," Dantes laughed.
"You're late, Green Shrek," Tony said.
"I see you didn't die, Coca Cola Can," Dantes replied, blue flames emanating from his hands to attack the cosmically powered Bucky.
"Okay, sorry for using nicknames... just don't shoot me," Tony muttered, eyeing the blue flames and remembering Karna's attack.
"I won't..." Dantes replied, but then added, "Maybe..." in a barely audible tone.
"I heard that, bastard!" Tony chuckled, blasting the Hydra agents away with multiple energy attacks.
"Da Vinci, we're facing a strangely powered hybrid enemy. It feels like he's using the same type of power the tower used before," Tony reported.
"What! Then they might have created illegal experimental soldiers," Da Vinci said while running and killing every Hydra agent in our way. Even leaving one Hydra agent alive is dangerous because they believe in Hydra's motto: if you cut off one head, two more will appear in its place.
"Morgan, kill all of them," I said.
"Okay, my husband," Morgan replied, surprised by my order to kill other humans. But she understood the necessity when she saw how disgusting the Hydra agents were with her Fairy eyes.
Suddenly, the clouds above turned black, and the temperature dropped. Magical light attacks rained down, killing all the Hydra agents without leaving anyone alive. Morgan used this method to save her mana while efficiently completing the task.
"It's beautiful, Morgan," I said, admiring the scene.
"It's nothing, my husband," Morgan replied, feeling happy.
"Show yourself," Karna said after finishing off the agents, standing guard in front of me with his lance.
A person with glowing eyes, similar to Bucky's, jumped in front of us—it was Bastion.
"I don't know who the hell you are, but I'm going to kill you, bitc—" In the next second, his head rolled on the ground. Morgan opened a space portal and cut off his head with her weapons stored in her inventory. She didn't stop there; she raised her hand and used a black hole variant attack on his body, completely destroying it. His head stared at us in shock. Morgan didn't even care about this trash.
Seriously, why do small villains think they can take down anyone with a little power? Morgan trained herself to reach beyond the level of God Zeus.
I know she is only at half of her power compared to when she was alive.
Then suddenly, Karna saw a jet rushing towards us.
"Master, I think it's reinforcements. I will destroy it, Master," Karna said, raising his lance. Da Vinci and I hurriedly stopped the demigod.
"Wait, Karna! It's the X-Men's team," Da Vinci said. It was the X-Men team with their iconic Blackbird jet.
"I see, I almost made a mistake. Thanks, Master, Da Vinci," Karna said, almost blasting the jet.
"Okay, let's go to Tony," I said.
"Maybe we can join forces with the X-Men. They must have found this danger," Da Vinci said as we moved.
"My husband, I think it's a good idea to have more numbers. We still haven't reached the underground," Morgan said.
"Let's hear their reason for being here. We still don't know if they approve of our methods," I said.
"Kid, we are cleaning the world. Hydra is like a cockroach. Both are disgusting, and no one will complain about killing them," Tony said.
"What happened to the enemy you guys were facing before?" I asked.
"That bastard escaped to the underground door with a flash bomb," Tony said.
We reached Tony and Dantes just as the X-Men jet landed in front of us.
