The last few days had been a breeze for Jacob, a soldier of the Axis. He had been given a plethora of easy jobs such as guard duty or clearing out civilian areas. Today was no different as Jacob was sent out with another group of soldiers to clear out a warehouse where a group of American refugees were supposed to be hiding out.
Jacob and his comrades descended on the building stealthily in the hopes of taking the facility’s occupants by surprise. As soon as the door was cracked open a puff of smoke began to poor out of the building. After the initial fear that this gas may be poisonous subsided as it seemed to have no effect on Jacob and his troops, the team entered the building and began to go off in groups of two to find any trace of the refugees. As Jacob waded through the smoke with his partner, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being watched but he kept this thought to himself as he didn’t want to possibly give away his position to any possible occupants of the area. This feeling continued to grow until he nearly shot a rat as it scurried across the floor. Having recovered from a mini-heart attack, Jacob began to go back to the meeting point as their tips seemed to be false as there seemed to be no refugees in the area. Just a Jacob turned around he came face to face with an American soldier. With eyes as wide as saucers, Jacob toppled to the ground, fumbled with his gun and shot the soldier all before they realized what was happening.
Jacob quickly got up and began running through the facility looking for his partner whom seemed to have fled at some point during his scuffle with the American soldier. As he ran, Jacob came across a group of four american soldiers who seemed to be just as distraught as he was. Thinking quickly, Jacob pulled out a grenade from his belt, pulled the pin and tossed it at the unsuspecting soldiers, all of which were hit by the blast of the grenade. Carefully Jacob came out to inspect the bodies closer in order to make sure they were truly dead. All but one of them were rotting in the depths of the underworld. Jacob raised his gun ready to take out the final soldier when he came to a sudden and shocking realization.
These were his comrades, his troops.
How had he thought they were american soldiers? It made no sense! Jacob ran to try and tend to his comrade’s wounds but it was too late for the soldier as he perished. Just as his comrade’s grip on life faded, a figure emerged from the smoke with a globe like helmet perched atop his costume.
“You came here to kill the innocent but you were thwarted by the might of the magnifi-!” suddenly the figure was cut off as Jacob sent an entire clip worth of bullets through his chest, leaving the body to fall on the ground with a thud. Jacob looked down at the body of the man he had just killed with disdain and anger. Now he would have to go back to his superiors and give the bad news about his troops but maybe he would be able to keep his position thanks to his killing of this seemingly superpowered being. "Vielleicht würde er sogar eine Förderung erha-“ suddenly a loud bang rang out over the warehouse as Mysterio fired a bullet from his wrist mounted gun through the head of Jacob. “As I was saying, On this day you Axis scum have been thwarted by the might of THE Magnificent Mysterio!” Mysterio exclaimed as he held up a fist in the air in victory.
As Burt left his hot boxed warehouse, he saw a huge burst of fire coming from a few miles away along with some small aircraft landing. Figuring that it was either allies who may need help or Axis who need a beating, Mysterio began running towards the area, hoping he could find a bicycle or something on the way there so he wouldn’t be as out of breath when he got there.
