Madness of Mythos

Chapter 5

(SEVERAL MONTHS AGO: THE RAFT, ATLANTIC OCEAN: 8:40 AM)

The long dead silence had been hanging around in the dark and stern premises. The guards walked around and patrolled in every containment cell for these dangerous people who arrested and secluded from society. The HYDRA Dragon trio remained in their cell. They were newly arrested from their most recent terrorist activity in Siberia just five days ago. It was their time when Ursala and Ursa Major asked them to attack the four members of the Avengers.

Vicktor Nefarian was unamused in counting lizards on the ceiling and lying down on his bunk bed. Vaz Ultrax on the other hand kept punching on the wall and making an escape hole for himself and the others. From the other cell, Rhaeyar Kataclys sat quietly and spent thinking in how to flee from this highly secured area.

Without their knowledge, an armored man walked to the maximum security area and intently looked at the three enhanced prisoners in each cell. He was evilly grinning and thinking to free them.

" Good morning, gentlemen, " a male voice voice with an English accent called their attention. " I have orders from my superior to bail you out. "

" Bail us out?! " Vicktor overheard the guard and curiously asked. " By who? "

" Some important person beyond HYDRA, " he said.

" I don't believe it, " Ultrax's gruff voice sternly echoed. " Only the heads of HYDRA can help us. How can you bail us out?! Tell us?! "

" My, my, you simple and naive mortals, " the armored guard gave them a sinister laugh and shrugged. " Do you even think your friends from that puny organization can really help you?! Why do you rely in such a small fry which there's a big fish coming from the ocean?! "

Rhaeyar intently listened to the warden and got interested at his words. He closely looked at him and became curious.

" How can you even tell us without any proof? " Ultrax indignantly asked.

" My, you unbelievers, " the guard evilly snickered and snapped his fingers, summoning a spell to open the electric cell doors. Rhaeyar, Vicktor, and Ultrax were dumbfounded in seeing him for this prison break.

" Who the hell are you?! " Vicktor gasped.

The guard snapped his fingers and revealed himself to be a raven haired sinister man in dark clothes with green and gold trimmings. He was holding a staff on his left and the bright blue tesseract on his right. The three mutants murmured in awe as they recognized him.

" Loki, the god of Mischief! " Rhaeyar exclaimed and bowed in reference. " We didn't expect you to..."

" Midgard is not the right place for you, my friends, " Loki answered. " I shall take you to a place where it's beyond your imagination. "

" Where? " Vicktor asked.

" I won't answer your question, but I will take you there, " the Asgardian god of mischief smirked and illuminated the Space Stone, forming a radiant blue portal.

" I don't think this is gonna be..." Ultrax doubtfully paused.

"...Perfect, " Rhaeyar evilly grinned and replied. " We may be HYDRA's representatives for our planet, why not going beyond and continuing our exploits, then?! "

" That's more like it! " Vicktor laughed as he noticed his grey-haired fellow was the first to step into the bright tunnel. " I'm coming!! I'm coming!! Wait for me, Rhaeyar!! "

The red armored man quickly rushed and followed his companion into the portal. Vaz Ultrax was the only one who remained and dazed in disbelief, scratching his head and looking at the mischief god. Suddenly, the prison alarm cried uncessantly and reddened its light.
