The Crusade of the Crystal Gems 2: Operation Najac

13- The Start of the Infliltration



5 of May of 1942. Najac Castle, Aveyron, France

The airplanes went as fast as they could to Najac. There, they found that not only the Castle was a Hydra base: they turned all the town into a Hydra base, full of soldiers, tanks, weapons, etc., making it a real hell on Earth for the Allies. The American planes where shot down by the French and German forces in their way to Najac. Only 6 were remaining. In one of them were the Captain America and Rose Quartz. The American planes started to bomb Najac, since the French popullation were evacuated years ago.

-Captain, we have to get out of the plane now!- Rose shouted to the Captain, who was pilotting the plane.

Then, the plane took a hit.

-You're right!- the Captain said taking his shield.

Rose carried the Captain and made a bubble shield. Then, she ran toward the window of the pilot cabin, getting out of the plane just in time. Then, she startec to go higher.

-So, you can fly?- the Captain asked being gently realeased, touching the bubble.

-No, I can float. I can easily go down and up, but is really slow to move to a normal direction. This will lead us to the Najc Castle without being detected by the Hydra forces- Rose said.

The rest of the American planes where shot down. Their sacrifice was not in vain. Rose and the Captain America floated for some time until being above of the Najac Castle. Rose carried again the Captain. She saw a place were the 2 can infiltrate the castle.

-Captain, I will go down, hold on- Rose said undoing the bubble, falling.

The 2 fall at great speed, until Rose stoped just meters from the flor of the rooftop, where 5 Hydra soldiers, with a Hydra Anti-Craft gun. The Captan jumped from Rose's arms. In the ground, he silently took a Hydra soldier from his neck. Then, he knocked out the Hydra soldier. Rose, in the air, summoned and launched a shield to another Hydra soldier, who fall knocked out to the floor by the impact. A Hydra soldier saw this and notified the rest, but then the Captain launched his shield to the legs of the soldier, breaking them. In floor and in pain, the Captain knocked them out. Rose then, landed to the rooftop.

-Nice moves!- Rose said while she was tying the Hydra soldiers with their clothes.

-Thanks. Well then, this will give then a little surprise when the things get hot- the Captain said putting a granade, not active, in the Anti-Craft gun.

The Captain took the granades of the Hydra soldiers, just in case. Then, he went a pair of binoculars for him. He was searching the reason why Hydra took the Najac Castle, as also any route of access or exit, as well vulnerable points. Suddenly, he saw big metal soldiers, who were holding Hydra guns.

-Rose, do you know what the hell are that things?- the Captain said passing the binoculars to Rose.

-They are Eisenkreuze (Iron Crosses). They are though even for me. We have to be very careful with them- Rose said seriously while returning the binoculars to the Captain.

-All right. Well, if whatever they wanted in this castle is not in the ground that means that is under it and they haven't found it yet- the Captain America said.

-You are right Captain- Rose said.

-Well, let's get inside- the Captain said entering the castle using the stairs.

The Captain America was leading. It was strange (and somewhat annoying) for Rose to follow orders of a human, but at the same time she was a little relieved for not carrying the pressure of the leadership. The 2 descended. The castle was full of Nazi and Hydra motivs and symbols. They reached a room full of Hydra soldiers. They hide before being seen.

-It's croweded- the Captain whispered.

-Whatch out for me- Rose said shapeshifting into a cat.

The Captain was confused, but he think that was understanting what was planning Rose. Rose move into the room. The Hydra soldiers, saw her confused. They approached her and, suddenly, she summoned the bubble shield while returning to her original form, hitting some of them.

-(In German) Is Rose Quartz!- a Hydra soldier said.

The Captain America enter into the action. He launched his shield into the head of one of the Hydra soldiers while kneecking another. Rose then summoned a normal shield and lunged into a Hydra soldier, knocking him out. There the Captain kicked the gun of a Hydra soldier that was about to shot Rose. Rose then punched that soldier. The Captain then launched his shield to the roof. The shield bounced and hit a Hydra soldier that was about to shot him while Rose launched her shield to a Hydra soldier who was trying to stand up. They defeated all of the Hydra soldiers that were in the room. The Captain then took a look outside the room. In front of them was a building building that doesn't looked from the original construction. It was sorrounded by Hydra soldiers that were constantly enterring and getting out. That entrance was located at the center of the castle.

-Bingo! That's the entrance to the underground!- Rose whispered.

-Yeah, but there are a lot of soldiers. We need a distraction- the Captain whispered.

Then, Rose looked at the Hydra soldiers's granades.

-I have an idea- Rose said.

Rose took some of their granades and returned to the roof. Then, she activated them an bubbled some of them. The ones who weren't activated were launched by Rose. Rose ran downwards while some of the granades exploded in the air, catching the attention of the Hydra soldiers, who ran outside the castle.

-Now it's our chance!- Rose said.

The 2 ran to the building at the center of the castle. Inside it, they found an elevator. The elevator was comming up.
