February 3, 1945.
Allied Forces temporary interrogation room.
Under the blinding incandescent lights, Arnim Zola's stout body was sunken into the chair, facing a circle of grim-faced generals and Agents.
"I will say nothing."
He adjusted his sitting posture unhurriedly.
"You will soon become the dust of history, and HYDRA will achieve immortality."
"You damn Nazi!"
A hot-tempered general slammed his hand on the table, making the water glass buzz.
Zola just shrugged at the sound.
That unperturbed look made people furious.
Just then.
"Bang!"
The heavy iron door of the interrogation room was kicked open from the outside, the impact startling everyone.
Soldier Boy walked in, swaying, carrying a half-empty bottle of whiskey.
He swept his unruly eyes over everyone in the room.
Finally, his gaze landed on Zola.
"I heard there's a rat here who won't open his mouth?"
He walked straight up to Zola.
Ignoring the astonishment of the generals, he grabbed him by the collar.
Lifting him from the chair as if he were a chick.
Zola's feet kicked helplessly in the air.
"I... I warn you, I am an important prisoner of war, you cannot..."
Zola's voice began to tremble.
Soldier Boy said nothing.
He simply used his other hand to pinch Zola's left index finger.
"Crack!"
A sound of bone breaking echoed in the interrogation room.
"Ah——!!!"
"Tell me, where is Red Skull."
Soldier Boy's voice was calm, chillingly calm.
"I... I don't know!"
Zola was covered in tears and snot.
Soldier Boy raised an eyebrow.
He was a bit surprised by this answer.
"Crack!"
The second finger, the middle finger, bent at an eerie angle.
"I'll talk! I'll talk!"
Zola completely broke down; his defenses crumbled in the face of violence.
"In The Alps! That is the Führer's last Base! The final fortress!"
Soldier Boy tossed Zola onto the ground, as if throwing away a used rag.
He picked up the whiskey, took a big gulp, and turned to leave.
Passing by the general who had slammed the table, he lightly tapped the man's shoulder with the bottle.
"Trash."
He muttered disdainfully, disappearing out the door without looking back.
...
The order for the final battle was formally issued after consultation.
The target, HYDRA's final fortress. Codename "Eagle's Nest".
New York, Vought Tower rooftop.
Motoko Kusanagi's figure appeared silently beside Lynn.
"Boss, all pieces are in place."
"Soldier Boy and Human Torch have arrived at the perimeter of The Alps and can launch an attack at any time. Their mission is to create the largest possible chaos."
"Catwoman has infiltrated the Base's sewage system; the route Professor Pyg planned for her can bypass 98% of the physical defenses."
"He will crack the biometric identification system for her in real-time."
"Captain America will lead the Howling Commandos to breach from the front."
Everything was running according to the track Lynn had laid out.
"Send them the signal."
"Tell Soldier Boy and Human Torch that I want the entire The Alps to hear their noise."
"But their core mission is to ensure Red Skull can successfully board that Valkyrie bomber. And... Captain America is the only one who can catch up to that plane."
"Tell Selina, she only has thirty minutes."
"When the Base's self-destruct sequence initiates, I need her to take all of HYDRA's research data on the Tesseract and withdraw via the predetermined route. Not a single bit can be missing."
Lynn turned around, his gaze falling on a document that had just been printed on the desk.
The title of the document was—Captain America: Eternal Monument"Commemorative Project Proposal.
"Yes, Boss."
...
Deep in The Alps.
The deafening sound of explosions signaled the beginning of the final battle.
Soldier Boy descended from the sky like a human meteorite.
Directly smashing through the outer defenses of the HYDRABase.
Human Torch transformed into a burning streak of light, pouring flames wantonly in the air, melting anti-aircraft turrets into molten iron.
Taking advantage of this earth-shattering chaos.
Captain America and the Howling Commandos stormed into the Base through a secret passage torn open by artillery fire.
His eyes held no hesitation, only the fire of vengeance burning.
In the deepest vault of the Base.
Catwoman moved between metal pipes and wiring like a black ghost.
"Underneath that floor tile on the left is a high-voltage grid; step on it and you'll be roasted into a human charcoal briquette. Inside the cracks of the wall on the right is nerve gas; take one breath and it will melt you in bliss..."
Professor Pyg's voice, filled with morbid excitement, came from a miniature communicator.
"Shut up, you pervert."
Selina cursed under her breath.
She landed steadily in a safe area with a light roll.
She arrived before a heavy vault door made of Krupp steel and attached the "silencer" Lynn had given her onto it.
"Hum——"
The complex electronic locks and sonic sensors turned into a pile of scrap metal.
She pulled a thin metal wire from her waist and inserted it into the ancient mechanical keyhole.
...
Base hangar.
The engines of the "Valkyrie" bomber had begun to roar.
Captain America finally caught up here.
"Rogers! We meet again!"
Johann Schmidt stood at the aircraft's hatch.
That crimson skull face was full of madness.
A fateful duel unfolded in the narrow cabin.
In the end, Steve smashed his shield hard against Red Skull's face, knocking him to the ground.
But at the last moment, Red Skull grinned and grabbed the Tesseract he had been carrying with him.
"Ah——!"
Blue light flashed, and space was torn apart.
Red Skull's body was disintegrated in the torrent of energy and transported into the depths of the unknown Universe.
Steve rushed into the cockpit of the aircraft that had already taken off.
At this moment, he desperately discovered that the plane's course had been locked.
Destination: New York!
The autopilot could not be disengaged.
It was loaded with enough bombs to wipe all of Manhattan off the map!
He tried every method but could not change the course.
He took off his cowl and stared at the clouds before him.
Finally, he chose to pick up the radio and pressed the talk button.
"Peggy Carter, can you hear me?"
In his voice, there was a tremor he hadn't even noticed himself.
After a brief crackle of static, a surprised and eager voice came through.
"Steve? My God! You did it!"
"Schmidt is dead."
Steve's voice was very soft.
"But... I might miss that dance of ours."
He looked at the endless icy sea ahead, a bitter and gentle smile appearing on his face.
"I have to put it down."
Peggy Carter on the other end of the radio understood what this meant, her voice becoming sharp and desperate.
"Steve... no... we still have time, we can find a way..."
"This... is not so bad."
Steve Rogers's gaze pierced through time and space, seeing the girl who had smiled at him in the small tavern.
He resolutely pushed the aircraft's control stick forward.
"Hum——"
The black bomber, like a giant beast with broken wings, dived screaming into that icy sea that devoured everything.
In the radio, only Peggy Carter's heart-wrenching cries remained, along with an eternal... static.
