The roar of the Quinjet 2.0 blades filled the air as it flew over the dark waters of New York's Waterfront. Inside, the atmosphere was tense. General Ross stood at the front, gripping a handle for support, while several army units and soldiers sat on the benches along the walls, their faces set with determination.
Elektra sat beside Dr. Sterns, who was nervously clutching a small case containing the antidote for Victor. She could feel the weight of the Twin Sai at her side, its power and responsibility pressing down on her. General Ross's voice cut through the noise, bringing everyone's attention to the plan.
"Listen up!" General Ross barked, his voice commanding and unwavering. "Our objective is to infiltrate the target's base, neutralise any threats, and secure the area. Once inside, we'll split into two teams: Team Alpha will secure the warehouse and handle any resistance. Team Bravo, led by Dr. Sterns and Elektra, will proceed through the secret passage to the underwater base and neutralise the threat. This is a critical mission, and we can't afford any mistakes."
His eyes met Elektra's, his expression serious.
"Remember, stay focused and stay safe," he advised, his voice softer now. "If he gets in your way, you need to be ready to defend yourself."
Elektra nodded, her resolve hardening.
"I promise," she vowed, her grip on the Twin Sai tightening.
"We'll touch down on the rooftop," the pilot's voice crackled over the intercom. "Be ready for immediate action."
The Quinjet 2.0 landed smoothly on the Waterfront, and the soldiers quickly disembarked, spreading out to secure the area. General Ross led the way, his eyes scanning the shadows for any signs of movement. Elektra and Dr. Sterns followed closely, the chilly night biting at their skin.
As they approached Warehouse 65, the group moved with silent precision, taking out the perimeter guards with ease. Elektra's heart pounded in her chest as she kept her eyes on the surroundings, every sense on high alert.
They reached the entrance to the warehouse, a large, imposing structure with rusted metal doors. General Ross signalled for Team Alpha to take positions, while Elektra and Dr. Sterns prepared to enter. The soldiers moved like shadows, their training evident in their quiet efficiency.
"This is where you split off," General Ross whispered to Elektra. "We'll handle things up here."
With that, Elektra and Dr. Sterns slipped into the warehouse, their footsteps echoing softly in the vast space. The interior was dimly lit, with crates and machinery casting long, eerie shadows. They moved quickly, following the directions they had memorised from the briefing.
At the back of the warehouse, hidden behind a stack of crates, they found the entrance to the secret passage—a heavy metal door with a complex locking mechanism. Dr. Sterns set to work, using his skills to disable the lock and open the door.
