Chapter V-

"Let's go." Revenge said, grabbing Courage's arm.

"What?" she asked.

Revenge pointed at the troops lining the floor below.

"AL đã đưa ý kiến Investigate and Report, that's what we're doing."

He and Courage crawled back along the vent until they dropped down into an empty room. They headed towards the door, but at that moment, the walls on either side of them and the door before them opened and Soviet soldiers poured in.

"Surrender!" one of them đã đưa ý kiến in Russian. Courage pulled out her cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly leaves and Revenge his dagger launcher.

"I believe they said, surrender." a voice said.

Revenge looked up and literally didn't believe what he saw.

"You." he growled.

The man laughed maniacally. "Get 'em!" he said.

The troops surged forward, but Revenge threw daggers, filling the air with smoke. He and Courage chẻ, phân chia, split up, kicking and punching the blind and coughing Soviets.

"Gaah!" the man roared. "Get them!"

Revenge grabbed the barrel of a gun and pointed it upwards as the soldier shot it. Revenge punched the soldier in the face, but another soldier hit him with the butt of his gun, sending him to the ground.

The man laughed as Courage was thrown across the room tiếp theo to Revenge.

The two Giải cứu thế giới stood up wearily.

"Fools!" the man said. "I have thousands of troops! Do bạn honestly think bạn can defeat me?"

"We can try." Revenge said, leaping at the soldiers that were closing in. The smoke had dissipated and it was now easy for the Russians to see. Courage was quickly knocked out and Revenge thrown tiếp theo to her.

"You didn't stand a chance!" the man said. "And now, bạn die!"

"That outcome is inevitable!" Revenge said. "But not on this day!" he threw smoke grenades and plain grenades phía trước, chuyển tiếp before picking up Courage and running out the open door.

"Revenge to Team. Omega Level. Repeat, Omega Level!" Revenge tried to contact the Team over his ear comm as he ran. "Hero down! Do bạn read? Do bạn read?"

Revenge cursed as all he got back was static. He slipped a re-breather on his mouth and on Courage's before diving into the armory, knocking over the soldiers that were in there and jumping into the mineshaft.

Revenge dodged bullets as they flew through the water and swam towards the exit. He surfaced, gasping and hauled himself and Courage out.

"Revenge to Team, over!" Revenge said, hauling Courage to the car.

"Artemis here, what's the problem? Get lost?"

"Get him!" a voice yelled and gunfire erupted as Revenge laid Courage in the car before throwing daggers at the soldiers.

"Is that gunfire?" Artemis asked.

"Great jobs, Holmes!" Revenge said, ducking behind a cây and throwing a few daggers at the soldiers. They exploded, tossing them back, but thêm kept coming.

"Where are you? What's your situation?" Aqualad asked.

"Simple sentences." Revenge said, pulling out his disc launcher and firing off a couple of rounds. "Big Army. Courage down. Me trapped."

"We are on our way!" Aqualad said.

"Delay that! You'll never get here in time, complete your mission and I'll complete mine!"

"Or die trying." Artemis muttered.

Revenge holstered his empty gun and pulled out some thêm daggers. He threw them and a gas đám mây erupted, sending everyone who breathed it to the ground. Revenge reached for some thêm daggers, but came up with one.

"I'm out of ammo." he đã đưa ý kiến unbelievingly.

He dived behind the taxi and threw himself in the driver's seat. He stomped the gas and took off.

Courage groaned.

"Hang in there." he said. He grabbed her pistol out of the bao da, holster on her hip and shot a few rounds off at the soldiers, then he was out of range.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Your joking." Wally said.

"Yeah, you're trying to say that-"

"I know what I'm trying to say." Revenge said. "I couldn't believe it any thêm than bạn could, but I saw him."

"I believe him." cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly said, sitting up on the bed.

Artemis crossed her arms. "Of course bạn do." She said, rolling her eyes.

"Hey!" cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly protested. "I was standing right tiếp theo to him, Artemis!"

"This still sounds impossible." Wally said.

"Well it isn't really any of your concern anyway." Revenge said, walking out the door.

"Same thing he said." cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly said, walking out the door as well.

cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly jumped in the elevator right before it closed. "So what're we doing?" she asked Sam, who was zipping up a áo khoác over the hàng đầu, đầu trang of his uniform and replacing his mask with a hat and glasses.

"Stock up," Sam said. "We're going back."

-------------------------------------------------------------

"So," cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly said, tossing her áo khoác on. "We're going to just happen to fall in a locked mineshaft and swim into an armory where we'll plant bombs and blow the place sky high."

"More hoặc less." Sam said, attaching his cape.

"You realize this plan stinks, right?" cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly said, slipping her mask on.

Sam grinned before sliding his mask on. "Yep, let's do it."

-------------------------------------------------------------

About halfway back to the base, the car hit the Nữ hoàng băng giá bridge.

cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly was thrown phía trước, chuyển tiếp as the car spun around and off the bridge.

"Grab my hand!" Sam yelled as the car fell. cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly grabbed it and he busted the front window out. He shot a grappling line and swung them down to the bank of the river.

"Funny," Revenge said. "This isn't Nữ hoàng băng giá but the bridge is."

cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly looked at him, then suddenly she fell phía trước, chuyển tiếp due to a blow to the head.

Revenge whipped around, but a cold hand grabbed his wrists.

"Hello again." Ice Crystal purred. "We left on such bad terms..."

She threw Revenge into the tường and kneed him in the stomach. "...I thought I'd make it up to you." she punched him in the face.

cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly had her own hands full. She was dodging swipes from Lioness's razor claws. She threw a few cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly leaves at her, but sư tử cái, lioness merely dodged them all.

cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly grabbed Lioness's suit, but sư tử cái, lioness twirled her around and threw her in the water.

"Ah, your girlfriend seems to be in distress." Ice đã đưa ý kiến to Revenge, slamming him against the iron supports a few thêm times. "Why dont bạn save her?" Ice Crystal tightened her grip on the young hero, causing him gasp, but he could get no air.

Revenge went limp and Ice released him. He fell to the ground and swept her legs out from under her. He grabbed her áo, áo khoác and pulled it off.

"Try your high-tech sweater now." he said, tearing the sleeve and revealing all the technology sewed into it.

Ice gasped as Revenge picked her up bởi the throat and rammed her into the iron supports. He threw her down and a dagger beside her. He ran off to where sư tử cái, lioness was hauling a shivering cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly out of the water. Her mask was off, Mất tích in the car wreck and Revenge could see the terror in her eyes as sư tử cái, lioness pulled one of her claws out and prepared to end the heroine.

Revenge grabbed sư tử cái, lioness and threw her into the water. sư tử cái, lioness wasn’t a very good swimmer and struggled to get to shore. Revenge picked up Courage and began to haul her away when he felt something cold and sharp pierce his back. He fell to the ground and saw Ice Crystal standing over him with a bloody ice crystal.

cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly punched her in the face and knocked her out before helping Revenge up. Revenge planted a few timed daggers around the two villians before climbing up the cold steel ladder back to the road.

“Are bạn okay?” Revenge asked. 

cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly nodded. “Just a little cold. What about you?”

“I’m fine.” Revenge said, wincing in pain. “So how do we get there now?”

“There’s a gas station two miles that way.” cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly said. “We can, um, borrow a car from there.”

Revenge nodded and the two limped off.

-------------------------------------------------------------

It wasn’t long before they reached the gas station. Revenge purchased some bandages along with a blanket and hot Sô cô la for Holly. cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly managed to find an old car, still had a full tank of gas, and hijack it. The two were soon driving at hàng đầu, đầu trang speed towards the Soviet base. Revenge wrapped a bandage around his upper torso. 

cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly had found a pair of sunglasses in the car and put them on in replacement of her mask.

The two Giải cứu thế giới arrived at the Soviet base and Courage reluctantly jumped back into the icy water. Revenge opened the door to the armory and pulled Courage up, wincing at the pain erupting in his body.

“Here,” Revenge said, handing Courage a few explosives. “Plant them where they will make the most damage.”

Courage took a few and began to tape them to large stashes of ammo and explosive materials.

“What are these?” she asked.

“C-4 explosives.” Revenge replied, taping a bomb to a box of grenades.

The two Giải cứu thế giới had just finished taping the final explosive in place when a squad of surprised Soviets walked into the armory.

“Ah crap” Courage said.

“GO!” Revenge yelled, kicking the two soldiers in the stomach and sealing the door.

Courage nodded and dived out into the mineshaft. Revenge hit a button on the explosives timing them for two minutes.

Revenge punched the first soldier to breach the door in the face, the một giây he kicked in the gut, and the third he stabbed. Revenge ran for the mineshaft, jumping-

-but a Soviet caught his leg. Revenge’s head rammed into the steel ladder and he was knocked unconscious. The soviet soldiers hauled him from the room, unaware of the danger.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Courage ran for her life, she was about three hundred yards from the base when she noticed Revenge wasn’t behind her.

“Revenge!” she yelled, scanning the field for her fellow hero. No sign of him. She began to run back. Thats when all hell broke loose.

The mineshaft erupted in a column of ngọn lửa, chữa cháy and splintered wood. The lake boiled over and the ground exploded from within, scattering clumps of soil and metal all over the place.

Courage ducked behind a cây as death and destruction poured from the massive Soviet base. A mangled corpse landed beside her. It was burnt and torn apart.

No sign of Revenge.

cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly sat on the ground and cried.
