A Western Dawn

[Beta Ray Bill]

With the Hummer parked outside the trio of gangsters and monarch made their way into the base, casually and silently as they could possibly be. Crossing through a long and dull, narrow hallway that gave the look of a boring office building, the three of them were instantly stopped by an in door security check point. At least three stormtroopers stood beside the monitoring stations giving off bored and almost annoyed stances. They had probably been working at their job for hours and a military base such as this most likely never saw action. 

"By security monitoring orders please standby for the scanners, once they start to glow on, walk past by them, yadda yadda, you know the routine." One of the troopers said his voice annoyed and monotone. 

Shuffling through a series of green laser like security monitoring scanners, Luci slightly turned her helmet towards Doom and Jacket. 

"I think we're in boys but uh after this we got to get to work." She whispered no doubt winking behind her helmet as well.

Instantly as all three of them made their way through the last of the scanners stormtroopers poured out each corner surrounding all three of them as if they had overheard her. Every troopers E-11 blaster rifles pointed at all three of them, with the exception of Doom, Luci and Jacket starred back with surprised looks etched under their helmeted faces. 

"Well, what gave us away?" Luci said slowly raising her hands in level with her head. 

"The moment all three of you rode in." One of the stormtroopers said tensing his aim. 

"I'm sorry for the confusion, I'm going to let you talk to my Dr." Luci shot back, her right hand beckoned Doom to step in front of her.

Dr. Doom slowly sidestepped both Luci and Jacket, runes, symbols, and green radiate energy morphed over his entire body. The fake stormtrooper armor he wore began peeling off, showing who and what he was: a tall armored Lord of Latveria, a man of great power. The great doctor's forest cape flared upwards from the immense energy that seeped out and inwards into his very being.     

"Step back or we'll shoot!" One of the troopers barked, most of the white armored soldiers started backing up from Doom's approach.  

"Fools, those who are below me should know their place of power, you nor anyone commands Doctor Doom." 

Cackling the good doctor raised both of his hands, hot green pure electricity began to form all around his arms and hands. Quickly Dr. Doom shifted his electrical spiraling arms directing the pure electrical energy towards the group of stormtroopers, the green electricity instantaneously forking and splitting into them. Within mere seconds, the electricity had coursed all through their armored bodies showing their skeletal frames as they began screaming in pain from being fried alive.

"Fuck!" Luci shouted her disguise disappearing revealing the pig mask she was wearing to hide her identity. 

"Damn," Jacket added whipping out his small submachine gun, his disguise disappearing as well. 

"I concur," Doom said turning back to the both of them folding his arms. 

"We need to hurry, you two give me cover, I need to do something real quick," Luci said darting for and reaching in one of the dead stormtroopers' combat pouches. "This should come in handy," she said waving a data pad in her right hand. 

"What's that?" Jacket replied taking covering position behind Luci. 

"It's a data pad, just give me a few seconds- and bingo." 

"I would advise you two to hurry up yourselves, within seconds this place will be riddled with more soldiers at any moment." Dr. Doom said pacing over the piled dead troopers covering Luci from the front. 

"Alright boys, it seems what we're after is in a vault, the problem is there's a forcefield protecting it." She said rapidly typing through the data pad. "You two need to destroy fields generator, so I can phase through the walls and pick up the goods." 

"Where's the generator?" Jacket asked turning back around to face Luci. 

"Just head down this hall way, turn right and go straight. This data pads schematics tell me it should be right at the end of that hallway." She said pointing in the direction they need to go in. 

Darting past Doom Jacket playfully punched the supervillain to follow him. The two of them quickly rushed down the hallway quickly turning right. Pointing both of his armored hands forward Doom conjured mystical energy blasting two bolts of mystical energy into two unsuspecting troopers. Both blasts smashed into the troopers armored guts knocking both in opposite directions hitting the wall. Making it to the end of the hallway Jacket turned facing Doom.    

"You want to do the honors of blowing that door to Hell?" Jacket almost chuckled from the excitement, his left hand pointing at the steel blast shield door in front of both of them. 

Doom's eyes intensified from hitman's words his gauntleted fingers clenched.

This man, this fool, what does he think I am some door man begging to open doors for him...Very well I will do it they the younger people call it: style.  

"Yes, to Hell with this door." Doom kept his eyes intense look turning to blast door. 

Taking a moment charge himself with mystical energy charged up with the immense energy Doom aimed his right hand blasting the door off its hinges. The steel door instantly shot out blowing smoke crashing into the generator control room, its large metal frame crushed two sorry troopers. From the smoke of the door, frame Jacket jumped in firing his Mac-10 sliding it across the room mowing down every stormtrooper that was in his way. 

"Alright, doctor do your uh... handy work." Jacket said reloading his submachine gun.

Doctor Doom paced into the room his hands already glowing, prepared to throw an energy blast. Aiming both of his hands the blast of energy shot out of his hands smashing through the glass protecting the generator. The generator started to whine before overheating, its nods exploding before itself combusting and blasting apart shaking the entire facility. As soon as the generator blew the bases alarm sounds. 

"It seems we are done here, let us meet regroup with Luci." Doom said folding his arms his brown eyes giving the look of content.
