Chapter 10: 9. Calm Before The Storm
Kabir shot and killed a few more of the enemies as he made his way through her Hellicarier as he grunted a bit as he leaned on the wall as he sought to balance himself more. He had also taken some grenades and ammo from the enemies, though it was annoying to keep the sceptre in his hands.
"Oh!" Kabir immediately hid in surprise when he saw enemies appearing as they started to shoot.
He took out a grenade, kneeled down, pulled the pin and threw it quickly as it flew and hit the ground as it reached the soldiers.
"Oh shit!" One soldier shouted in shock before the grenade exploded.
Right after the grenade exploded, Kabir went in gun blazing as he killed them all. He sighed as he looked at the staff in his right hand as he frowned before he made his way through the ship.
"Hey Kabir?" Tony's voice came from the earpiece.
"Kabir here." Kabir said as he looked around carefully.
"Could you go to the popsicle and help him. He isn't tech savvy." Tony said to himself as Kabir couldn't help but smirk.
"Fine. Where is he?" Kabir said as he moved.
Tony gave him the info as Kabir made his way to the area. When he was making his way, the ship shook for a moment as he stumbled before he regained his footing.
He reached the location and saw a soldier as he smiled and then sent a beam from the sceptre which shot the man out of the ship as he screamed as he fell. Kabir went and saw the Captain working through the things on the board.
"Need some help?" Kabir asked the man as he looked at the way he had come.
"Nope. Just finished." Steve said to him as he smiled and jumped to safety.
"Great. Let's go." Kabir said as the captain nodded.
The two went inside as Steve used his shield while Kabir used the gun and sceptre to attack and defeat the enemies, all the while Tony corrected the ship.
"Where do you plan to take the sceptre?" Steve asked him as he looked at the thing.
"For the time being I will be keeping it with me." Kabir said as Steve nodded as they moved together.
"Thor and Hulk have left the Hellicarier." Fury said as he informed through their earpiece.
"What?" Both men asked in shock at the news.
"What do you mean Thor and Hulk have left?" Steve asked as much time hasn't passed since the attack.
"Loki escaped and used his prison to throw Thor out and the Hulk jumped on a jet and it went out of control. Be careful Kabir, he will be coming for the sceptre." Fury said to them as Kabir felt grim.
"Understood." Kabir said seriously as he reloaded the machine gun in his hand.
They moved as they separated, with Kabir handing the captain the sceptre as he knew that the man needed it more, and frankly, the beam attacks of the sceptre is quite effective.
He spent the time killing and cleaning the enemies that had entered the Hellicarier, as he used his gun and grenades to kill them as he moved through the ship with great speeds and precision as he used his training to guide him.
"They are obviously good. Unfortunately, I'm better." Kabir said as he killed a few more enemies.
This kept on going for a while before he didn't find anymore enemies as he stopped to catch a breath as he was running on adrenaline.
"How is the situation?" Kabir asked as he kept his gun ready.
"Loki has left the Hellicarier with the sceptre." Fury said which caused Kabir to click in tongue in annoyance.
He was displeased with the news, but then the got the news of Coulson's death at her hands of Loki, which shocked the man.
"Are you sure?" Kabir asked at hearing the news.
"We're sure." Fury said seriously which caused Kabir to grit his teeth with frustration.
After that, Kabir met with Steve and Tony at the table with Fury. The three of them were silent as they sar around the table with a gloomy mood.
"I got these from his clothes. I suppose he never got you to sign them." Fury said as he threw bloodied cards on the table.
The three looked at the cards as Steve frowned as he looked at them.
"Yes, we did plan to use the Tesseract to make weapons, it was risky. But I tried to do something even riskier." Fury said after a few moments of silence.
Kabir looked at the man while Tony and Steve looked down at the table.
"The plan was to bring together a group of outstanding people, and perhaps make them something more. So that they can fight the battles we can't. I thought that it would be a success." Fury said in a sombre tone as he looked at his people.
The place was silent before Tony stood up and walked away, followed by Steve as Kabir stayed in the place.
"You have anything to say?" Fury asked the man.
"We both know that Loki will be moving along with his plan. So we have to get to him before he can complete his plan." Kabir said as he looked at the man.
"That is true." Fury said as he agreed with the man.
"Why did Coulson confront Loki like that? While he is good, he isn't strong enough to stand against him. Even I had trouble with him." Kabir said as he looked at Fury.
"Perhaps it was because of the weapon he had with him." Fury said which caused the sergeant to raise an eyebrow at that.
He gestured to Hill as she nodded and brought a suitcase and placed it on the table and opened it. Kabir's eyes widened when he saw a big gun inside the large suitcase.
"What is this?" Kabir asked as he looked at the gun.
"This is a weapon we had created after reverse engineering the Asgardian technology. It was made using the parts of the Asgardian Destroyer and is a capable enough as it was able to stun Loki." Fury said as Kabir took the big gun.
"And you are showing this to me because..." Kabir said as he looked at the man.
"I think that you will like it's use. It's too bulky for Romanoff, Clint doesn't use guns, The Captain has his shield and Stark his armor. I thought that you would like to have signature weapon, especially for a fight against an Asgardian. I think that with your strength, you would be able to use it more efficiently." Fury said to him as Kabir looked at the man.
He then looked at the gun and then stood up as he checked the gun as he got a feel with it and he can say that it is adequately heavy for him.
"Do you know the specifics?" Kabir asked Fury as the man gestured to Hill.
Maria was more than ready to teach Kabir about the ways in which to use the gun as she had been told by Fury before she had brought the gun to him.
'Well, I do hope that this will help.' Kabir thought to himself as he looked at the gun with intrigue.
