News of the incident at the HYDRA base spread, and Toga, the British assassin from Borneo, learned that the person responsible for the chaos was none other than Captain Malaya, a native of Pulau Tawar. The revelation marked the beginning of a new chapter in the struggle, as the British intensified their hunt for Captain Malaya, but it inadvertently led to conflicts that resulted in the loss of innocent lives among the local population. The unintended consequences weighed heavily on Arif's conscience, a stark reminder of the complexity of their mission.
The following day, Arif received a summons to the Kuala Tembeling bunker, where Mat Kilau and Farid Muhtadi awaited him. Arif entered Muhtadi's lab, finding Muhtadi preoccupied with something. The rumor of a relationship between Muhtadi and Aminah was swiftly debunked, but the purpose of their meeting soon became clear. Muhtadi took Arif to his weapons engineering lab, revealing a collection of prototype shields, each boasting sophisticated components designed for the battlefield.
However, it was a plain, circular shield on a lower shelf that truly captured Arif's attention. Muhtadi introduced it as a shield made of a remarkable metal called "vibranium." This material, lighter than steel and vibration-resistant, possessed the extraordinary ability to absorb heavy impacts. Muhtadi held the shield before him, seeking Arif's opinion, and Aminah, ever spirited, playfully (and somewhat scornfully) fired a clip from a .45 pistol at the shield, prompting Arif to instinctively take cover behind it.
The shield not only survived the impromptu test but excelled, proving its remarkable qualities. Aminah, perhaps teasingly, walked away, leaving Arif with a feeling of awe for the remarkable weapon. As she departed, Arif seized the opportunity to share a sketch of a uniform with Farid Muhtadi. This simple gesture was a step toward Arif's transformation into Captain Malaya, a symbol that would stand as a beacon of hope and resistance in the face of oppression.
The vibranium shield held great promise, a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of their team. As they harnessed the power of this remarkable material, they were equipping Captain Malaya with the tools necessary to confront the growing threats posed by The Red Skull and HYDRA. Arif recognized the significance of this moment, not just for himself, but for the entire fight for freedom and justice.
With the shield in his possession, and the support of his allies, Arif felt a renewed sense of purpose. The battles ahead would be daunting, but he was prepared to face them, armed with the vibranium shield, his unwavering commitment to the cause, and the unity of his comrades. As he stood in Muhtadi's lab, he knew that he was on the verge of stepping into a new phase of the struggle—a phase where Captain Malaya would rise to face the challenges, inspire the oppressed, and stand against the forces of tyranny with unyielding courage.
Fully equipped with his newly designed uniform, complete with red, white, and blue fatigues, a form-fitting blue helmet, and a shield adorned with a yellow star and crescent, Arif had transformed into Captain Malaya. The symbol of hope and resistance, he carried the newly-colored shield on his back, ready to lead his soldiers, including Wahid, on a mission to liberate Pahang from the grip of HYDRA.
As Captain Malaya and his team traversed the village of Pahang, they systematically dismantled HYDRA's bases, one by one. Arif quickly honed his skills with the shield, discovering its incredible versatility. Not only could he wield it as a formidable projectile weapon, but he also realized that it could ricochet off various surfaces, maintaining its velocity and striking multiple targets with astonishing precision.
As the battle raged on, news of Captain Malaya's heroic exploits spread, reaching the ears of both the intended recipients and those who sought to suppress the truth. The Red Skull, infuriated by Captain Malaya's resilience and effectiveness, raged at his perceived adversary, referring to him dismissively as a "simpleton with a shield." The consequences for failure were dire, and the Skull's wrath was felt even by the last man alive at one of the destroyed HYDRA facilities.
Amidst the chaos, a critical moment arose when Captain Malaya confronted Syers, now revealed as the Red Skull. The intense battle brought them to the brink of death, with Toga, the British assassin, also on the verge of defeat. In this pivotal moment, Awang intervened, appealing to Captain Malaya's sense of justice and pragmatism. He argued that killing Syers would only escalate the conflict and make matters worse.
Arif, grappling with the moral dilemma before him, listened to Awang's plea and chose to release Syers, recognizing the truth in Awang's words. In that moment, he demonstrated not just his formidable physical prowess but his wisdom and sense of responsibility as a leader. It was a decision that reflected the values Captain Malaya stood for—the protection of innocent lives, the pursuit of justice, and the avoidance of unnecessary bloodshed.
With Syers spared, the battle continued, and Captain Malaya, now further emboldened by the choices he had made, led his group in relentless raids on HYDRA's remaining bases. The mission was far from over, but the progress they made sent a powerful message—a message of resistance, unity, and unwavering determination. Captain Malaya had become a symbol of hope, a beacon of light in a world threatened by darkness, and his actions reverberated through the hearts of the oppressed.
As Captain Malaya and his comrades pressed forward, they knew that the road ahead would be challenging. The Red Skull and HYDRA still posed a significant threat, and the stakes were higher than ever. Yet, they were undeterred, guided by their unyielding belief in the cause they fought for. With each battle won, each act of resistance, they moved one step closer to freedom, justice, and a brighter future for Pahang and beyond.
As the tide of the conflict shifted, Awang and his friends recognized the importance of gaining an advantage by seizing British weaponry in secret. However, their intentions were met with resistance from Mat Kilau, who saw the potential risks it could bring. Despite the disagreements, the looting operation was executed successfully, leaving the Red Skull infuriated by this blow to his resources.
In retaliation, the Red Skull launched a massive counterattack, engulfing the pier and nearby settlements in flames. The ferocity of the assault demonstrated the extent to which the Red Skull was willing to go to maintain his grip on power. Amidst the chaos, the British army, aided by Toga's operatives, raided Wahid's house. Tragically, Rokiah, Wahid's beloved wife, fell victim to the violence.
Awang, recognizing the impact of the counterattack, felt the weight of the consequences and approached Mat Kilau to apologize for their earlier disagreement. The rift between them, born from differing approaches to the fight, was a testament to the complexity of their struggle. However, before the situation could fully settle, Awang was arrested abruptly, leaving his fate uncertain.
In the midst of the turmoil, Wahid, driven by grief and the desire for revenge, launched a fierce attack on the British soldiers. Although he managed to kill some of the soldiers, he was ultimately overwhelmed by their superior numbers. Wahid, fighting valiantly, was forced to retreat, escaping the clutches of his assailants.
A few days later, Arif and his men were assigned a high-stakes mission—to capture Dr. Cameroon aboard his personal train. The team, consisting of Arif, Wahid, seeking vengeance for Rokiah's death, and Ibrahim, embarked on this dangerous operation. Their plan involved a daring zip-line maneuver, traversing a massive chasm to storm the train car by car.
However, as the mission unfolded, they found themselves facing heavily armed Hydra soldiers, cornered in a desperate struggle for survival. The odds were against them, but their determination and training pushed them to the brink. They fought valiantly, narrowly defeating the soldiers in a fierce battle, inching closer to their objective.
Yet, tragedy struck. Wahid, who had fought with unwavering resolve, was tossed from the train, plummeting into the river below. His fate hung in the balance, a devastating consequence of the perilous mission. Despite this loss, Cameroon was apprehended, a small victory in the larger battle against HYDRA and the Red Skull.
The toll of the conflict was undeniable, measured in the lives lost, the sacrifices made, and the impact on the lives of those who fought for freedom. Captain Malaya and his team continued to press forward, facing insurmountable challenges, but unwavering in their commitment to the cause. The struggle against HYDRA, the Red Skull, and the forces of tyranny was far from over, but they stood as a beacon of hope, ready to face whatever trials lay ahead.
