==========
In a dark, dimly lit hallway, the only sources of light were the flickering wall lamps. Lines of paintings hung on both sides, their frames adorned with intricate designs, while furniture sat beneath them, accompanied by flowers and ornamental plants in vases and pots. The hallway stretched straight ahead, its brown carpet muffling footsteps, leading to an intersection in the middle. A brown wooden double door marked the entrance, flanked by crimson curtains that seemed to whisper secrets.
Suddenly, the door burst open, revealing a figure the size of a child. Dressed in a black tailored suit, complete with a white shirt, black tie, waistcoat, trench coat, Oxford shoes, and fedora, the figure's black hair was concealed behind a crow mask with ominous red lenses.
They marched through the hallway, a cane tapping rhythmically, each sound echoing ominously in the silence. As the child moved, a spider crawled along the wall. But this was no ordinary spider. A Black Widow, yet twisted by some dark influence, its glossy exoskeleton gleamed like obsidian, reflecting the faintest glimmers of light. This arachnid was a harbinger of dread, its elongated legs moving with an unnatural grace, each joint clicking softly like a clock counting down to doom.
What truly set it apart were its eyes - glowing orbs shifting from deep crimson to an unsettling shade of ethereal blue. They pierced the darkness, locking onto any unfortunate soul who dared to venture too close, promising torment and a chilling glimpse into the abyss. Then came a sound - a faint, discordant whisper that floated on the air, echoing from the shadows, as if the darkness itself had a voice.
The child seemed unbothered by the sound, continuing their march, their gaze fixated on the paintings that appeared to move on their own, telling stories hidden within the frames. As they walked past the flowers and plants, an unsettling energy crackled in the air, thickening with each step. The walls, once vibrant with floral arrangements, trembled as if awakening from a long slumber, responding to the dark presence passing by.
At first, the flowers seemed innocuous, their petals kissed by the soft glow of flickering lamps. But as the child drew nearer, a grotesque transformation began. Petals curled inward like skeletal fingers grasping for something unseen. The colors darkened to deep purples and sickly greens, evoking a sense of decay that hung heavy in the air.
A low hum emanated from the blooms, a sound that crawled beneath the skin. The air grew thick with a sickly-sweet scent, reminiscent of rot masked by a deceptive allure. It beckoned the unwary, luring them into a false sense of comfort, yet the figure in the black suit knew better. They felt the pulse of dark energy thrumming through the very roots of these plants, feeding on the malevolence radiating from them.
The ornamental vines, previously delicate, sprouted jagged thorns that glistened ominously in the dim light. As the child passed, the thorns seemed to quiver in anticipation, dripping a dark, viscous liquid that pooled on the ground below - a warning of the lurking danger.
Then came flowers that bloomed into monstrous shapes, their centers yawning wide like gaping maws lined with sharp, jagged teeth. They opened and closed rhythmically, a grotesque mimicry of breath, as if they hungered for something more than mere sunlight. A low, guttural growl resonated from their depths, sending shivers down the spine and stirring primal fears.
The leaves rustled softly, whispering secrets in a language only the darkness could comprehend. The child could swear they heard their name carried on the wind, a haunting invitation to step closer, to listen. But they were not here to play the fool. They understood that fear fueled these plants, and they thrived on despair.
As they continued down the hallway, the plants grew taller, more vibrant, greedily feeding on the dark energy surrounding them. Each step seemed to draw forth their true nature, transforming the once-innocent flora into twisted, malevolent entities, hungry for life and captivated by the terror they inspired.
The hallway, now shrouded in oppressive gloom, felt alive, the walls pulsing with the dark aura that enveloped the child. Shadows danced in the corners, flickering like the last lights of hope, while the flowers and plants stood as grim sentinels, their transformations complete. They had become harbingers of fear, manifestations of the darkness thriving in their presence, awaiting the next unwitting soul to wander too close.
Eventually, the child stopped at the intersection and pulled out a compass, watching as it pointed toward their destination. In the distance, they could hear inhumane screams emanating from the paintings, but they remained unfazed, noting that the compass needle pointed west. Turning right, another round of screams echoed from the frames as they continued on.
Nearly a minute later, the child stopped at a door and pushed it open. A bright light flooded the scene, blinding and overwhelming.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
A study appeared, dimly lit, where the child - still wearing the crow mask but lacking the fedora and trench coat - spoke in a raspy voice with an English accent, revealing his gender as a boy.
???: "You teeter on the edge of an abyss."
He spoke without batting an eye, his gaze fixed solely on the black candles in the candelabra as he struck a match in his right hand. One by one, he lit five black candles, their flames flickering with an unnatural hue, casting an eerie light that danced ominously across the walls. The twisted forms of the candles dripped dark, glossy wax, reflecting sinister shadows that seemed to writhe and creep along the surfaces around them. A sickly-sweet scent of decay filled the air, mingling with soft whispers that slithered through the darkness, wrapping the room in a suffocating shroud of dread.
???: "Your survival will depend on the choices you make. They will be a compass guiding you through the unknown."
He looked up, as if addressing someone just out of sight, but the mask concealed his expression.
???: "Will you find the path to salvation?"
He extinguished the match after lighting the candles.
???: "Or be lost in the darkness forever?"
As if on cue, a lightning strike lit the room, casting an ominous flash on the right side of his face. The boy continued his monologue, hands clasped behind his back.
???: "Let me speak plainly. You are about to make some difficult decisions... Decisions that will affect the lives of others. How those decisions play out will become clear... over time. Before we begin, remember that not all parties end the same way they started. Some can leave their guests a little worse for wear. But, uh, I'm getting ahead of myself..."
He unlocked the straps of his mask, continuing his monologue.
???: "I expect you're wondering who I am and... where you are..."
With a deliberate motion, he removed the crow mask, revealing a boy of about eleven or twelve. His complexion was pale, so white it made him almost ghostlike. His black eyes, filled with darkness and haunting tales, hinted at experiences no child should ever know. His gaze appeared cold, distant, and emotionless, making it difficult to discern his thoughts behind his innocent features.
Or, if he was indeed a child to begin with.
???: "I am many things you shouldn't know too much about. However, to make it easy for you, I am Kuro Schattenstein - a psychological doctor, a therapist, a warrior, and many other professions I've already undertaken."
Kuro spoke in a perfectly normal, mature tone, leaning forward, his gaze piercing as if he were looking at something... or someone.
Kuro: "In the realm you're at, I am the Warden of La Citadelle Abyssale (the Abyssal Citadel), the Lord of the Void."
Suddenly, Kuro's eyes glowed with an unnatural black light, turning completely black without iris, pupil, or sclera-just an abyss. Then, just as suddenly, his eyes returned to normal.
Kuro: "But tonight, I will be the Curator; the custodian of tales. My purpose is to keep a record of everything you do, every decision, or mistake you make... This is my repository..."
As he introduced his study, the scene slowly panned away from him. Another lightning strike flashed, casting Kuro's shadow on the wall. A crow cawed as it appeared out of nowhere, flying past as the lightning struck again. Suddenly, Kuro stood next to the shelves, facing the rows of books, continuing his monologue without moving an inch.
Kuro: "It is filled with untold stories - stories about friends and enemies, loyalty and betrayal, life..."
He pulled out a red-covered book with the title The Axis Imperium: The New World Order Rises.
Kuro: "And death..."
As he spoke, another lightning strike illuminated the room.
Kuro: "Understand that I am not here to help you. Although I have been known to bend the rules from time to time... To descend into the unknown alone is either extremely brave... or extremely foolish. Perhaps there is more to you than meets the eye."
Another lightning strike cast its light on his face as he gave a slight, unsettling smile.
Kuro: "Many minds burning bright with the same idea... poetic, don't you think? Some choices will bring you closer together, while others will push you apart..."
He darkly chuckled as he placed the book back on the desk before pulling out a chair and sitting down, continuing his monologue.
Kuro: "Let me give you a few words of advice. Throughout the story, you will encounter certain pictures - pictures that allude to possible outcomes... I suggest you pay attention to their meaning; they could foreshadow a future best avoided... But alas, the sands of time have run out for us. We'll meet again soon to see how you've fared... or failed..."
As another lightning strike illuminated the room, he tilted his head before opening the book to read the content on the first page. However, he paused, noticing that they were still there.
Kuro: "You're still here. Oh, right! I haven't told you what you need to know about the picture you are about to descend into. But be warned: once you go deeper down the rabbit hole, you may not return unscathed... or perhaps you will delve further and further into the unknown to satisfy your curiosity. But, as I said, it's not my job to help you; it's to record the choices you make."
He pulled open a drawer from his desk and took out a smoking pipe alongside a snuff box. He opened the box and filled the bowl of the pipe with tobacco. Once done, he placed the pipe in his mouth, struck a match, and took a puff.
Kuro: "To give you a heads-up, let me ask you this question: You must be familiar with the story of the Second World War, right? A time when the world was engulfed in conflict, and tales of great heroes from the Allied Forces arose to defend rights, justice, liberty, equality, and freedom against the malevolent villains of the Axis Powers, who sought to destroy everything the free world held dear, replacing it with twisted ideologies of slavery and racial supremacy, accompanied by genocides and suffering under their iron boots."
He took another puff, exhaling smoke that curled ominously in the dim light. A slight grin crept across his face.
Kuro: (grins) "Or, to put it more bluntly, as your kind might say, kick the Nazis and the Japanese back to their countries and then shove their damn butts to their leaders' bottoms or mouths."
He chuckled, took another puff, and sighed.
Kuro: (sighs) "Well, we all know how the story ends: the good guys win, and the bad guys lose, since justice always triumphs over injustice. However, ...what if I told you that this isn't the case for the picture we're about to watch? And YOU will be the first to encounter it."
Kuro's expression shifted back to one of emotionless apathy as he took a puff and rested the pipe on its stand. He stared at them, his gaze piercing.
Kuro: "Welcome to Earth-X, a nightmarish world where the Axis Powers won WWII and ruled the Earth with an iron fist. Or, as you might say... a living hell."
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Hell
That was truly the only word to describe the world of Earth-X. After managing to use hyper-advanced technologies against the Allies and dropping multiple atomic bombs on the world's capital cities, the Axis Powers succeeded in winning the Second World War and conquering the entire planet. With their victory came a new era of terror and fear as the world was ruled by a tyrannical regime called the Axis Imperium.
However, things did not always start out this way; its beginnings were very different. During the late 1930s to the early 1940s, elements within Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan were dissatisfied with their respective governments and how they had handled the war. Though loyal to the cause, they soon became frustrated when the war turned against the Axis Powers.
As such, unknown to Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Emperor Hirohito, Hideki Tojo, and their loyalists, two men from Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan began to gather a group of Generals, Admirals, high-ranking officers, and soldiers loyal to them in order to convince them to start a coup and replace their current governments and leaders with new ones, along with promises to turn the tide of war in their favor and destroy the Allies for good.
These two men are SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer (General) Erik Wilhelm von Stahl of Nazi Germany...
...and IJA General Kaigen Fushihara of the Empire of Japan.
Cooperating with each other for nefarious goals, both the German and Japanese rebels succeeded in overthrowing their governments and leaders before Erik and Kaigen made themselves the new supreme rulers. Originally, this would have been considered impossible and unthinkable due to the high level of security and intelligence networks that ensured the safety of both the Führer and the Emperor. Luckily for them, they had an ace up their sleeves. Unknown to Hitler and Hirohito at the time, both Erik and Kaigen had once led a joint military expedition where they stumbled upon an advanced, yet ancient Jewish society called Da'at Yichud (Wolfenstein).
Shocked, surprised, and in utter disbelief at the advanced technologies used by this society, their forces succeeded in taking it for themselves, hoping to reverse-engineer it for their own gains. Originally wishing to show their new discoveries to their leaders, they soon realized that due to pride and perhaps even jealousy, both Hitler and Hirohito, and especially Himmler and Tojo, might wish to discard the technology as they didn't want to rely on something that came from an "inferior" race. As such, both Erik and Kaigen hid the technology and had scientists and researchers loyal to them reverse-engineer it before launching their coup in late 1942.
With Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Emperor Hirohito, Hideki Tojo, and their loyalists now dead or imprisoned, Erik Wilhelm von Stahl became the new Führer of the newly created Greater Germanic Imperial Commissariat (Großgermanisches Reichskommissariat), while Kaigen was crowned the new Emperor of the newly created Greater Japanese Bakufu Confederation. Together, these two new military powers united, forming the Axis Imperium.
Thanks to their new technology and their ability to convince the people to support the new regime, the Axis Imperium turned the tide of World War II in their favor and drove the Allies back, starting with the Soviet defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad. The Axis Imperium achieved a decisive victory in 1943, marking the eventual downfall of the Allied forces. Unable to keep up with the Axis' new technologies, all the territory that had once been liberated was forcefully taken again, and Axis forces caused mass casualties among Allied troops, leading to rapidly depleting morale.
Furthermore, the Axis Imperium turned fiction or fantasy into reality as they employed superhumans with powers ranging from elemental, kinetic, super strength, superspeed, and etc. This was largely thanks to a prominent geneticist from the Nazi Party named Doctor Frederick Vought (The Boys). By funding his research, Dr. Vought created Compound V (The Boys), which gives individuals what could only be described as superpowers. Dubbed Übermenschen/Chōjin (Superhumans) or Supes for short, they played a major role in turning the tide of war in favor of the Axis Imperium, leading to the near-total defeat of the Allies.
In the years to come, these Supes would eventually give rise to the Champions of the Axis Imperium, named the New Reichsmen.
In 1948, World War II finally came to an end when the Axis dropped atomic bombs on the Allied capital cities of Washington, D.C., London, Paris, and Moscow. It took only two years to crush all forms of resistance and rebel cells from the remnant forces of the Allies, ultimately forcing them to surrender to the new tyrannical regime. After that, the Axis forces spread out across the world, conquering everything in their path, including their former allies in Europe and Asia. With absolute defeat finally guaranteed against the Allies, the last free nations were no more, and a new dark age arose for humanity.
Gone are the days of democracy, an era dedicated to the ideas of freedom and equality. Now, in the present day, the ideologies of fascism, racism, racial genocide, racial purity, and Social Darwinism reign supreme. Under the rule of the Axis Imperium, they began their work on ethnic cleansing in order for their people to be the dominant race on Earth, leading to a genocide on a scale of billions of lives lost.
Though there were still those left in the world who tried to fight back against the new order, the Axis war machine was far too advanced to mount a proper resistance. No matter how hard and desperately they tried to overthrow the Axis regime, the Axis forces fought harder to wipe them out. Because of this, many began to see the futility of fighting back and sought to hide themselves from the world, viewing the Axis Imperium as an almost unstoppable and invincible power that no one could stop. In the present day, all that matters is survival; even if there is still opposition to the fascist regime, in the end, the world gave in to despair.
Yet in the midst of all this darkness and horror, hope still remains. In their arrogance and pride, the Axis Imperium would do the unthinkable and successfully build a device that could open breaches to other worlds, allowing instantaneous travel to parallel or alternate Earths and beyond. Because of this, the Axis forces sought to conquer and invade other worlds to expand their empire. Though they initially succeeded at first, they made a fatal mistake when they invaded a powerful enemy whose military could rival and even surpass their own. An enemy that has fought the greatest and most dangerous terrors creation has to offer and won in the end, allowing them to grow stronger. A force of nature whose powers and abilities surpass even the greatest Supes the Axis forces have at their disposal. Above all, the Axis Imperium will fight against an enemy that stands as a beacon of hope against the forces of darkness, and once they learn what they've done, they will wish to enact vengeance for their transgressions while also liberating the oppressed from their evil reign.
This new and terrifying enemy came from a world where literal Angels and Demons fight alongside them in times of war.

Year Date: September 1st, 1960
The scene opens to show a dark and dystopian world, one filled with red clouds and dark thunder. This world is known simply as Earth-X.
An alternate Earth where the Axis Powers have successfully won World War 2, it's world where genocide, racial superiority, and Social Darwinism reign supreme. As place deemed so awful and so horrific that no sane person would ever wish to travel to within the multiverse.
In fact, this place is deemed so terrible that it's one of the few universes that was locked away from the rest of the multiverse by God himself before stepping down and allowing his grandson, Neo Angelo, to become the new ruler of Heaven.
The scene shifts to show New York City within Axis control America. The once prosperous and lively city is shown to be nothing more than a mere ghost town as buildings are destroyed and the entire city is in ruins. In one particular scene, we see the Statue of Liberty, only this time, it's been changed dramatically to fit the ideology of the Axis Imperium.
Going deeper within the city, the scene changes to where we now see a rebel outpost belonging to the Global Resistance, an organization dedicated to stopping the Axis Imperium and freeing the world from their oppressive tyranny. Right now, we see GR soldiers patrolling the area with spotlights turned on to make sure there are no intruders. A lone GR soldier is seen standing in front of an entrance when suddenly a GR Scientist stood next to him while drinking coffee.
GR Soldier: "Hey doc."
The soldier turns to face the scientist.
GR Soldier: "You really think you can make that thing work?"
GR Scientist: "We need to make it work if we're ever gonna bring hope back to this darkened world."
Just as he was about to take another sip of his coffee, an arrow suddenly pierced him through the chest, killing him instantly. Before the soldier could react, he was also killed by an arrow. Soon everyone was on alert as the guards all try to mobilize. However, most of them were soon swiftly killed when more arrows were fired.
The one responsible for infiltrating the base and killing most the guards is a member of the SS, Oliver Queen AKA Dark Arrow.
A member of the New Reichsmen, Oliver is loyal to the Axis Imperium and will do whatever it takes to ensure its victory over its most hated enemies. Soon more guards appear and Dark Arrow swiftly taking them out. Even going so far as to go in close quarters and kill them with his bladed bow. He then fired two more arrows, one of the GR soldiers in front of him and then the GR soldier on the guard tower, thus finally eliminating all enemy opposition.
Just as he was about to make his way into the base, he stops as he senses a presence behind him. Sighing, he addresses the person behind him.
Dark Arrow: "You're the best they could send?"
???: "Funny... I was gonna say the same thing."
Reacting quickly, Dark Arrow turns and fires an arrow. However, the armored individual raises his left arm, showing a retractable shield that defects the arrow. Lowing his main weapon, the individual reveals himself to be a vigilante named James Olsen AKA Guardian.
A member of the Freedom Fighters, an elite branch of superhumans for the Global Resistance, Guardian cracks his neck, and he engages Dark Arrow in close quarters combat. The fight was fierce as kicks and punches were thrown while attacks were either dodged or blocked. However, Dark Arrow soon gained the upper hand when he kicked Guardian to the ground.
Walking to him, Dark Arrow slams and punches him on the side of his helmet before pinning him to the front of a truck with his bow via on his neck. He pulls out a knife and tries to stab him, but Guardian grabs his arm, struggling to make sure he isn't impaled. After a few more seconds of struggling, Dark Arrow wins the battle of strength and fatally stabs Guardian in the gut.
Pulling the knife out, Dark Arrow flips and throws Guardian onto the ground. Now wounded, Guardian breathe heavily as he tries to get up, but is then kicked in the face, sending his helmet flying off him. Looking down at him, Dark Arrow slams his foot on Guardian's shield which he uses to protect his chest. However, the sound of some bones being broken clearly show Dark Arrow's superhuman strength. Despite his injuries, Guardian looks up at the Nazi loyalist with defiance.
Guardian: "There are more like me... and one day... they will free this world..."
Dark Arrow: "That day may come, but you won't be here to see it."
He then looks down and notices the American flag painted on the shield and on the uniform.
Dark Arrow: "That flag died a long time ago."
Guardian: "No it still means something..."
In response, Dark Arrow pulls out another arrow and takes aim.
Dark Arrow: "Yeah... it's a bullseye."
He fires the arrow directly into his heart, finally killing the vigilante for good. As Dark Arrow leaves, he contacts his superior to know that the job is done.
Dark Arrow: "This is Dark Arrow. Mission complete. All hostiles have been eliminated."
???: (radio) "Excellent work. You have a new assignment. You are to be relocated to Tulsa where you are to join some members of the Reichsmen and assist in eliminating the Freedom Fighters. All of them are practically their heavy hitters. Killing them will be a severe blow to the resistance. Do not fail us. Do not fail the Fatherland nor the Imperium."
Dark Arrow: "Understood. I'll head there now."
With now orders, Dark Arrow leave as he joins the fight to finish off the Freedom Fighters for good.
(Background Music Ends)
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Later, the scene changes to show the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, only this time it is shown to be fully under Nazi occupation. Axis German soldiers and tanks are seen patrolling the cities in order to find civilians and resistance/rebel fighters. As that was happening, an announcer is being heard as the one speaking is demanded the people hand over their 'undesirables'.
Axis Announcer: "People of Tulsa, this is your last warning. Turn over your undesirables and we will leave your city standing. Resist and we will destroy everything you hold dear. This is your final warning."
Behind a ruined building an armored Axis German Patrol passes by, we see a few GR soldiers hiding. Behind them are civilians with scared expression on their faces.
GR Soldier: "Stay back."
Axis Announcer: "People of Tulsa, this is your last warning. Turn over your undesirables and we will leave your city standing."
One of the soldiers leans his head, waiting to see the patrol pass.
GR Soldier: (glares) "On my signal."
Axis Announcer: "Resist and we will destroy everything you hold dear."
Once the patrol passes, the resistance fighters give the signal to run.
GR Soldier: (glares) "Move. Move."
The civilians all begin to run and try to escape. Among the escapees as an African-America mother and daughter trying to run. As the civilians were escaping, they seen walking under a bridge which is route 'Oklahoma 66'. Around them, the sounds of fighting and gunfire are heard.
Axis Announcer: "Give in. There's nowhere to run. Your heroes won't save you."
As the civilians were running for their lives, we cut back to the mother and daughter duo as the little girl looks up to see one of her heroes coming to rescue them.
Child: (smiles) "Mommy, it's the Ray."
Looking up, the mother smiles in relief.
Mother: (relieved smile) "The Freedom Fighters are here."
(BGM: Freedom Fighters: The Ray (Score)
https://youtu.be/GsAAWry4vd8
In the skies, we see a tiny blimp of light before it explodes into a shade of golden yellow. Descending down from the skies at a rapid pace and surrounded by golden energy like a comet is a superhero named Ray Terrill AKA The Ray.
A powerful supe and a member of the Freedom Fighters, he's a hero of the Global Resistance as he's seen flying over the city. He then slows down and looks at the situation below. On the ground, he sees the civilians fleeing to the evacuation point but when he looks behind them, he sees a small army of Axis German forces making their way towards them.
On the ground, the civilians fleeing take notice of the Axis Germans as they come with Axis German Soldiers and Axis German Mega Tiger Tanks. They open fire, impacting some buildings as the civilians began running for their lives. While running across the streets to safety, some of the resistance fighters hanged back and opened fire with their assault rifles against the Axis forces to buy time for the civilians to escape. Sadly, their weapons did nothing as they couldn't even scratch the tanks as the Mega Tiger Tanks fired once again.
Luckily, Ray finally came in and fired photokinetic beams of energy which easily destroyed the two tanks. Flying past the wreckage, he's seen making his way to the bridge where the civilians will be evacuated, and his team of Freedom Fighters are there. While flying, he's soon contacted by one of the leaders of the Global Resistance, Grace Walker, who tells him about their current situation.
Grace: (comms) "Ray, you there?"
Ray: "I'm here, Grace. What's the situation?"
Grace: (comms) "Listen, we're currently holed up as we're still evacuating civilians. Our forces are currently engaged with Axis forces all across the city. We're unable to provide backup so you and your team are on their own. We'll try to send help as fast as possible once we finish evacuating our civilians at our key checkpoints, but it might take a while."
Ray: "Understood. Don't worry, me and the guys can hold our own."
Grace: (comms) "I hope so. Remember, you and your team are the heart of the resistance. If you and your team die, it might be over for ALL of us. So just... promise me you'll all make it back alive."
Ray: "Don't worry Grace. I intend to live long enough to see the Axis Imperium fall and be burned to the ground for good."
Grace: (comms) "Good. Once you're done and the civilians are evacuated, I'll send Vibe to get you all back to base. Grace out."
Once the call ended, Ray makes his way over to the other side of the bridge where he meets the rest of his fellow Freedom Fighters.
The first is a red colored android named Red Tornado.
A military robot that was designed and created by General Winn Schott, leader of the Global Resistance. Able to manipulate Aerokinesis, Red Tornado played a key role in fighting against the Axis Imperium and is friends with Ray.
The second member is John Trujillo AKA Black Condor.
A supe and a member of the Freedom Fighters, John joined the Freedom Fighters and opposes the Axis Imperium due to suffering under they tyrannical regime. His powers include flight and telekinesis, along with superhuman strength and durability.
The third member is Jenny Knight AKA Phantom Lady.
A supe and a member of the Freedom Fighters, she has superhuman strength and durability as her powers include Umbrakinesis and Teleportation.
And the fourth and final member of their team is Darrel Dane AKA Dollman.
Though not considered a supe, Darrel somehow obtained the power of shrinking to the size of a doll due to a lab experiment. Because of this, his physiology was still altered despite not having Compound V.
Once Ray lands on the ground, he addresses everyone about what's currently happening.
Ray: "Heads up people. The Axis has the refugees on the run and they're coming this way."
Phantom Lady: (glares) "Hold the line here. We need to give them a chance to make it to safety. Get airborne gentlemen."
Dollman and Phantom Lady run off while Ray, Red Tornado, and Black Condor take to the skies. Back with the civilians, a group of them are seen running as they try to make their way to the bridge. However, just as it seemed they were gonna make it, a Schlammspringer APC cut right in front of them and the Axis German soldier manning a machine gun take aim at them. The people are shocked and scared, thinking this is the end for them when suddenly a familiar golden energy beam, slams down on top of the APC, destroying in.
Looking up in the skies are Ray, Red Tornado, and Black Condor as they move to engage Axis forces. Black Condor swoops down and does a double kick on one of the Axis German soldiers before slicing a few more with his steel wings as they all open fire on them. Red Tornado uses his powers to seep the tanks into the air, allowing Ray to blast and destroy them. Raising his arms, he fires more photokinetic beams of energy, destroying more tanks and allowed the three supes to press on.
Meanwhile, both Phantom Lady and Dollman are seen making their way across the bridge as a Mega Tiger Tank drives over the now destroyed Schlammspringer APC. Axis German soldiers are seeing firing their G36-HL Assault Rifles or HG-40 SMGs. Taking cove rbehind one of the bridges steel pillars. The Mega Tiger Tank moves its gun and fires at the top of the bridge, destroying some of the steel bindings that hold it in place.
Dollman: (glares) "Make those Axis scum see the dark."
Phantom Lady: (glares) "Just what I was thinking."
Getting out of cover, Phantom Lady uses Umbrakinesis and launches a green-black ball of darkness that expands as its surrounds the group of Axis German soldiers, making them confused as they can't see in the dark.
AG Soldier: (confused) "What the Hell just happened? I can't see anything."
As they were looking around, Phantom Lady appeared before them.
Phantom Lady: "Can you see this?"
Using the darkness to her advantage, she punches one of the Axis German soldiers in the face and then kicks a second one on his side, knocking both out. With Dollman in her hands and now the size of a foll, Phantom Lady throws him over to the Mega Tiger Tank as he proceeds to jump down into the barrel of the tank. Once inside, get shifts back to normal size and punches and kicks the two Axis German operators, disabling the tank in the process.
Due to the Freedom Fighters being too much for them, Axis German forces are forced to retreat. Dollman emerges from the tank as Phantom Lady disperses her powers.
Dollman: "Well, looks like they had enough for today. Good work, Phantom Lady."
While still retreating, Ray destroys another retreating Mega Tiger Tank just for good measure.
Ray: "Scratch one tank."
Red Tornado: "It's not like the Reich to give up so easily."
Black Condor: "It sucks. I wanted to punch more Nazis."
Ray: "Don't worry. Plenty more where that came from."
Three begin to fly back to join the others as we now see the civilians managed to escape safely as they're all seen boarding trucks to leave. Once Ray, Red Tornado, and Black Condor rejoined both Dollman and Phantom Lady, they're shocked when suddenly a powerful red beam of energy impacted and sliced the bridge, causing it to collapse into the water. This fills the Freedom Fighters with dread as they know who's responsible.
Dollman: (worried) "That's not good."
Phantom Lady: (worried) "Super not good."
Finding the source, the Freedom Fighter look up to see a familiar sight of a member of the New Reichsmen and down on the ground to see more of them. The members include Barry Allen AKA Blitzkreig, Kara Kent AKA Overgirl, and Oliver Queen AKA Dark Arrow.
(A/N: Just imagine the character on the right is Oliver Queen/Dark Arrow.)
However, also standing with them are the New Reichsmen's three top heavy and elite hitters. The trio being Bruce von Hammer AKA Leatherwing, Karl Kant AKA Overman, and Astrid Hedwig AKA Brünhilde.
Red Tornado: "I calculate our odds being greatly low."
Phantom Lady: (annoyed glare) "You just had to say that."
Soon the New Reichsmen go on the attack as they engage the Freedom Fighters, Blitzkreig uses his super speed while Dark Arrow fires his arrows and Leatherwing throws his batarangs. The Freedom Fighters as they all try to defend themselves from the champions of the Axis Imperium.
Ray: (glares) "Looks like the whole gang is here. Come on. We have to give the refugees some cover."
Blitzkreig appears before and attacks him in hand-to-hand combat. Ray tries to defend himself but is knocked away. Black Condor is seen flying as Dark Arrow takes aim and fires explosive arrows. He successfully dodges a few until Black Condor is blown out of the sky. Brünhilde comes flying in and grabs him by both legs. She was gonna rip him in half before she was blow away by Red Tornado. Using his powers, he fired a powerful tornado blast at Dark Arrow and Brünhilde, blowing them away. However, Red Tornado is suddenly double punched by Overgirl and Overman who send him crashing onto the ground. Grunting, he looks up and sees two familiar glowing red eyes as they both fly in for the kill.
Luckily, Red Tornado used his powers to dodge outta the way. Overgirl tried to use her freed breath to freeze him, but Red Tornado swivels to the side to dodge. Overman tires to use his head vision, but once again Red Tornado dodges as he uses his powers against them and the two supes fly away. Dark Arrow continues to fire his arrows in order to bring Black Condor down. Meanwhile, Dollman is seen riding on top of Black Condor as he comes up with a plan to bring him down.
Dollman: "Get me in close. I've got an idea."
As Black Condor flies down, Leatherwing prepares to throw as batarang to kill him. However, Phantom Lady appears from behind and uses her powers to block the sight of both him and Dark Arrow. With the two distracted, Dollman jumps off and shrinks down even further as he gets behind Dark Arrow and pulls out one of his arrows as he throws it into the air.
Dollman: "John, now!"
Black Condor's eyes soon glow blue and uses telekinesis on the arrow to hurl is back towards them. Dollman soon jumps off as when the arrow impacted, it caused both Dark Arrow and Leatherwing in the net. As that was happening, Ray finally caught up to Blitzkreig as he's seen firing a powerful beam of energy that slams him into the destroyed APC. Eventually, Ray stops and Blitzkreig collapses onto the ground.
Ray: (glares) "Stay."
Suddenly, he hears a pained cry and turns to see Red Tornado being double kicked by Overgirl and then grabbed by the leg by Overman as he slams him onto the ground. Ray dodges out of the way in time as Overgirl proceeds to punch Red Tornado on the face which sends him into the water. As he was in the water, Overman appears before him and pushes him deeper into the water until they hit rock solid. From there, he unleashes a fury of his heat vision with the intent of destroying the android for good. Red Tornado screams in agony as he tries to use his powers, but Overman grabs his arms and tears them off. Just as things seemed to be the end, Phantom Lady teleports behind him and covers the whole area in darkness. Overman tries using his heat vision to get out, but it's no use. Up on the surface, Ray and Black Condor go over to the water where they see the heat vision coming from.
Ray: (worried) "Red!"
Black Condor: "Get to Red. I'll deal with Overman!"
Diving into the water, Black Conder distracts Overman while Ray grabs Red Tornado's body as he tries to get him to safety. Once back on the surface, Ray gently puts Red Tornado down while Overman, followed by Overgirl and Brünhilde, chase over him.
Ray: (worried) "Red..."
Red Tornado: "Systems sub-nominal."
Ray: (worried) "It's okay. I'm gonna get you outta here."
Red Tornado: "Negative. Total failure immanent. You have to make sure my Neo-Cortex is destroyed."
Ray: (shocked) "Your cortex is you man. I can't."
Red Tornado: "Cannot chance Reichsmen accessing data. You must... protect..."
With that, Red Tornado's eyes go dark, signifying he's dead and his head opens to show his Neo-Cortex. Taking the cortex, Ray looks at it with a sad expression before suddenly a batarang hits him, leading to an explosion and sending him fly back before his regains his composure. Landing on a bridge pillar, he looks over to see Leatherwing with Dark Arrow behind him.
Leatherwing: (glares) "That Android's brain. Give it to me."
Ray: (glares) "Not a chance."
He dodges and flies away as an explosive batarang hits the beam. Annoyed, he glares Dark Arrow, ordering him to take Ray down.
Leatherwing: (glares) "Shoot him down."
Dark Arrow: (smirks) "With pleasure."
The New Reichsmen archer fries an arrow into the air, in which contain mini cluster bombs. Once separated, they begin to explode midair, forcing Ray to dodge the explosions. However, once the explosions were done, Brünhilde suddenly appears before him and grabs Ray with the neck, nearly choking him to death.
Brünhilde: (annoyed glare) "Pathetic man thing."
Just before she could kill him, Ray charges up and fires a powerful beam with all he's got into Brünhilde, causing her to be sent flying away and crash into another building. Elsewhere, Phantom Lady and Black Condor are seen facing off against Overman and Overgirl. Overgirl is seen hoisting up a destroyed Mega Tiger Tank and throws it at the pair. Black Condor flies over and one of his wings glow blue as he does a diagonal slash which sends a sharp energy wave that slices the tank in two. However, Blitzkreig suddenly appears in front of him.
Blitzkreig: (grins) "Surprise."
Caught off guard, Blitzkreig slams into Black Condor and punches him in the face, sending him flying and rolling into debris. From there, Blitzkreig charges at Dollman who tries to hit back but misses.
Blitzkreig: (smirks) "Miss me!"
The New Reichsmen speedster appears behind him and punches Dollman in the back. He tries to do a flying kick but misses.
Blitzkreig: (smirks) "Miss me again!"
Blitzkreig kicks Dollman away as Phantom Lady was ready to use her powers yet again.
Phantom Lady: (glares) "Miss this."
Just before she could attack, the dark orb is destroyed by heat vision and Overman punches her away. Soon what was left of the Freedom Fighters were reunited as they looked at the New Reichsmen with growing worry and fear.
Ray: (worried) "We can't hold them off forever."
Overgirl is seen in the air with her fists raised and she slams them both onto the ground, causing a miniature earthquake and the Freedom Fighters are forced back. Suddenly, a blue portal open and out came another member of the Freedom Fighters, supe named Cisco Ramon AKA Vibe.
A unique type of supe after taking Compound V, he has the powers of dimensional energy manipulation which allows him to do interdimensional travel and unleash powerful vibrational blasts. Once he arrives, he tells everyone that need to leave.
Vibe: "Come on!"
Ray: "Crazy good timing."
He then holds up to show Red Tornado's Neo-Cortex.
Ray: "Red Tornado's gone. He gave me his cortex."
Suddenly, a red beam would've impacted Dollman had Phantom Lady not been quick enough to pull him aside.
Dollman: (relieved sigh) "Thanks."
Phantom Lady: "Thank me after we get out of here alive."
They soon look up to see the members of the New Reichsmen standing on top of a ruined building and looking down on them.
Blitzkreig: "Give us the Cortex."
Black Condor: "Get out of here! I'll hold them off!"
He flies off while Phantom Lady tries to stop him.
Phantom Lady: "No, John! Don't!"
With no choice, she tells the others to leave.
Phantom Lady: "Go!"
She then chases after Black Condor. Just as Vide was about to open the portal again, Blitzkreig suddenly appears and stabs Ray in the gut, causing him to be severely injured. This sends him flying back as Ray slams into a piece of concrete. Groaning in pain, he sees he's stabbed and looks up to see Blitzkreig standing in front of him with a bloodied dagger.
Blitzkreig: (smirks) "I'm gonna enjoy kill you most of all."
Before he could do anything, Ray blasts him away with an energy blast. Vide then rushes over and helps him up as they look over to see Black Condor and Phantom Lady try to hold off the other members of the New Reichsmen to no avail. With the time being bought for them, Vibe opens a portal and urges Ray to go through.
Vibe: "Go."
While that was happening, Dark Arrow takes aim and launches an arrow, but luckily the two heroes ducked.
Vibe: "Get to safety. We can't let them get Tornado's cortex."
Shocked by this, Ray refused to leave his friends behind.
Ray: (shakes head) "I'm not leaving you behind."
Vibe: "Not giving you a choice, bro. Go!"
He then forcefully takes Ray to the portal and shoves him inside, allowing Ray to escape to who knows where. Back with the fighting, the other Freedom Fighters begin losing until Vide signals them that Ray escaped to safety.
Vibe: "Guys, Ray escaped with the cortex! Now's our chance!"
Phantom Lady: "You heard him! Time to go!"
Overman: (glares) "No you don't! Stop them!"
The New Reichsmen go on the attack, but Dollman pulls out a specialized flashbang that temporarily blinds everyone. This allows Vibe to open another portal, and they all escaped. Once the portal closes and the New Reichsmen regain their vision, they see the Freedom Fighters have escaped.
(Background Music Ends)
Angered by this, Overman punches a wall which causes a ruined building to collapse.
Overman: (glares) "Damn it all!"
Brünhilde: "What now?"
The Nazi Supe narrows his eyes before speaking.
Overman: (narrowed eyes) "Contact the Führer. We have no choice but to tell him the Freedom Fighters got away."
On the other hand, Overman eyes lingered on the destroyed body of Red Tornado, in idea forming in his mind.
Overman: (raised eyebrow) "However, tell him we also intend to bring back a gift."
He eyes the now destroyed android body with interest, coming up with a plan that'll benefit the Axis Imperium.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
After the Battle of Tulsa and receiving reports that the New Reichsmen failed to destroy the Freedom Fighters, the Axis leaders were understandably furious that their champion could not eliminate a group of 'inferior' sub-humans. The only thing that staved off their wrath was when Overman brought back the destroyed body of Red Tornado, giving their scientists and researchers the idea to build their own version of the android for their purposes.
Later, we see a meeting among the Axis leaders as they discuss the recent loss of not being able to eliminate all of the Freedom Fighters. The first is a German man named Karl Voss von Stein, the current Führer of the Greater Germanic Imperial Commissariat.
A ruthless and cunning leader, he governs his nation with pride and an iron fist while also working hard to eradicate any impurities that plague his country and society through mass exterminations within concentration camps. Embodying the essence of evil, Karl is known for using fear as a means of controlling the populace, ensuring that his slaves know their place beneath his iron boots. A master manipulator, he leads with a cold, calculating demeanor that masks his ruthless ambition. His military career is marked by calculated cruelty; he orchestrates war crimes and crimes against humanity with chilling precision, including the systematic genocide of ethnic minorities and the brutal suppression of dissent, often employing scorched-earth tactics that leave entire villages devastated. Voss has orchestrated mass executions of political opponents and civilians alike, viewing them as mere obstacles in his quest for power. Additionally, his military campaigns are marked by brutality; reports of mass executions and torture are commonplace, with dissidents disappearing into the night, never to be seen again. He is known for using civilians as human shields, relishing the chaos and destruction left in his wake. Voss's chilling orders echo through the ranks: "Only the strong survive", as he revels in the suffering of those beneath his iron fist. His reputation as a cunning strategist is built on the corpses of the innocent, his ambition fueled by a grotesque disregard for human life. His exceptional technical skills and manipulative nature, honed under the tutelage of the greatest military generals and admirals, allow him to command the military effectively while pursuing his own dark ambitions.
The second is a Japanese man named Masaru Fushihara, the current Emperor of the Greater Japanese Bakufu Confederation.
An ambitious and greedy individual, Masaru is the kind of man who will do whatever it takes to stay in power, even if it means eliminating anyone he deems a threat to his rule in his ruthless quest for authority. He will do whatever it takes to maintain his grip on power, even if it means committing heinous acts against his own people and perceived enemies, regardless of the cost. As such, Masaru's narcissism fuels a sense of entitlement and superiority, as he instills a fervent national pride in his subjects, urging them to die for the glory of the Confederation. Hence, he is a figure of unfathomable greed and cruelty, as his insatiable thirst for power has led him to commit unspeakable atrocities; he has sanctioned the genocide of entire ethnic groups that oppose his regime. He orchestrated military campaigns that resulted in the widespread slaughter of civilians, using his forces to crush rebellions with extreme prejudice. Masaru's reign is marked by the brutal occupation of territories, where he imposed forced labor and executed anyone labeled as a dissenter. Under his rule, torture camps have flourished, where captives are subjected to horrific experiments, their screams echoing through the darkened halls. Like his predecessors, Masaru seeks to expand his nation's influence and dominate those he considers enemies or perceives as weak. Using propaganda to influence his people, he ensures they do not question the harsh reality of their empire, instilling in them a sense of national pride and patriotism to die in the name of their Confederation. Additionally, he takes pleasure in public executions, where dissenters are executed in gruesome displays meant to instill terror in the hearts of his subjects. His belief in his own superiority drives him to commit acts that would make even the most hardened tyrants' shudder, as he obliterates anyone who dares to challenge his dominion.
The third individual is Karl's younger sister, Scarlett Hitler von Stein, the current Reichsführer-SS of the State of Burgundy.
Both formidable and terrifying, she embodies the darkest and most malevolent aspects of her predecessors who once ruled Nazi Germany before the coup. Born into a family deeply entrenched in Nazi ideology and with strong ties to the Nazi regime, she was indoctrinated from a young age with the belief in the supremacy of what she deems the 'ultimate Germans.' Her rise through the ranks of the SS was marked by exceptional cunning, ruthless ambition, and a chilling willingness to embrace brutality. In other words, Karl would practically be considered a saint compared to his sister. A staunch supporter of Nazi ideals, Scarlett possesses an almost fanatical devotion to the regime's propaganda. Her charisma and oratory skills rally the SS and the populace under her banner, instilling both fear and loyalty. Known for her psychopathic nature that chills the blood, she exhibits a complete lack of empathy, viewing others as mere tools to be manipulated or discarded. Her psychopathic nature is evident in her military career within the SS, where she oversaw numerous atrocities designed to instill fear and obedience, such as mass executions, torture, and human experimentation in concentration camps, all while promoting the ideals of racial purity. Scarlett revels in the grotesque - a sadistic torturer who delights in the suffering of her victims. Reports of her 'purification' camps detail unspeakable horrors, where she personally oversees the execution of perceived enemies, treating them as mere playthings. Her charismatic speeches incite her followers to commit acts of terror, urging them to embrace their darkest instincts. Under her command, the SS has engaged in mass rapes and public executions, where the heads of dissenters are displayed as trophies. Her chilling laughter echoes through the chambers of power, a reminder that she sees humanity not as individuals but as mere pawns in her twisted game. In other words, she is a nightmare incarnate with a psychopathic nature that would make Heinrich Himmler and even Lucifer himself proud.
Finally, the last member is a Belarusian man named Anatoly Andreevich Motsny, also known as Abaddon.
A ruthless and violent Satanist, he is considered one of the most sinister figures in the Axis Imperium, embodying pure malevolence and evil. Despite being Slavic Belarusian in origin, he was personally chosen to be the right-hand man of Scarlett Hitler von Stein. This man is the very definition of a monster and a demon, leading an organization called the Brotherhood of Cain, a sadistic and horrific satanic group that follows the words and ideals of Satanism. Due to certain incidents in his younger life, Abaddon came to believe that if God could ally Himself with a Jew, then Satan must be the true savior of mankind. Embracing this horrifying ideology, he adopted the moniker Abaddon and founded the Brotherhood of Cain, declaring himself the High Priest of Satan. Under Abaddon's leadership, the Brotherhood has become synonymous with terror and brutality, earning him the title 'the Devil in the Flesh' among his enemies and even among some of his allies. Under his command, the Brotherhood of Cain has committed unspeakable acts, including ritualistic human sacrifices and mass killings of anyone deemed an enemy of the state. He has orchestrated campaigns of terror that target entire communities, often using gruesome methods to instill fear, as entire towns have been razed, their inhabitants used as offerings to fuel his blood magic. Abaddon believes in a twisted form of divinity, viewing the suffering of his victims as a means to gain favor with Satan. His methods are horrifyingly creative captives are subjected to unspeakable tortures, their final screams serving as a grotesque symphony to his dark rituals. Those who oppose him face a fate worse than death, as he delights in breaking their spirits before extinguishing their lives. His commitment to blood magic and human sacrifice fuels his ambitions to eradicate Christianity from Russia and the rest of the world, with frequent rituals demanding the blood of captives taken from the regions he controls. His chilling presence and unyielding cruelty instill fear not only in the hearts of his enemies but also among those who dare to oppose him, and even the bravest warriors tremble at the thought of crossing paths with the Devil in the Flesh, making him a loyal enforcer of Scarlett's dark vision.
Back to the matter at hand, we see Abaddon violently screaming and ranting about the failure to eliminate the Freedom Fighters and how he scolds the New Reichsmen for failing what he describes as an 'easy' task.
Abaddon: (glares) "This is a complete disaster! Those damn supes were supposed to be our best! Our champions! So HOW the FUCK do they screw up and allow those Christian or Catholic scums to escape when it should've been an easy FUCKING kill?!"
Meanwhile, Karl, Masaru, and Scarlett are seen waiting patiently. They do indeed agree with what Abaddon is saying, but they are now getting annoyed by the fact that he's acting like a whining brat. After a few more seconds, the Satanist stops and is seen panting heavily, allowing Scarlett to finally speak up.
Scarlett: (annoyed) "Are you done with your ranting, Abaddon?"
After panting heavily to regain his breath, he sighs deeply before composing himself and nodding.
Abaddon: (sigh) "Yes, Milady."
Scarlett: (nods) "Good."
She turns her chair to face both her brother and friend.
Scarlett: (rolling her eyes) "Despite his childish ranting, he's not wrong. This is quite possibly the biggest failure we've ever had. We had a chance to eliminate their heaviest hitters, and now they're gone. Sure, we got that android, but that's beside the point."
Karl: (sigh) "I'm well aware. Killing those Freedom Fighters would've been the first step to finally crushing the Global Resistance once and for all."
Masaru: "Still, perhaps not all is lost. They did recover Red Tornado's body. We may still be able to gather whatever data is left in that machine, and if possible, perhaps even reverse-engineer the technology to create our own variation."
Scarlett: "That may be so, but the Resistance still stands strong. Even more so now that we were unable to finish Terror Billy off for good. We had everything planned out, and he still managed to escape."
All of them scowl at this, frustrated by their inability to eliminate one of the biggest pains in their asses. William J. Blazkowicz, a.k.a. Terror Billy, has been a thorn in their side for too long. Sure, they still have the whole planet under their total control, but the raids and attacks caused by him have had negative effects on their empire. Ever since Blazkowicz returned, both he and his comrades became a beacon of hope for the Global Resistance. Just as the Axis Leaders were about to speak further, there was a knock on the door.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
Caught off guard by this interruption, the leaders looked at each other before the Axis Führer spoke up.
Karl: "Come in."
The door opens and in came an Axis German Officer. The man gave a crisp salute before speaking.
AG Officer: (bows) "My apologies for any interruption great leaders. I've been sent here to give you important news by our science division. They say its urgent and they do indeed require your presence. Dr. Strasse says it's something that'll help revolutionize the Axis Imperium forever."
Hearing this got their attention, wondering what exactly Dr. Strasse made that seem so important that they need to see for themselves. Given the fact that the man hasn't failed to disappoint them, they're curious as they all get up to follow the Officer. After being backed by their personal security, they make their way to Dr. Strasse's personal lab.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
The scene changes where we see the Axis leaders comes into an underground lab where they see scientists and researchers doing their daily tasks and jobs. However, as soon as the Axis Leaders made their appearance, they all stopped what they were doing and stood at attention. An Axis German Scientist approaches the leaders and gives a salute and then a bow before speaking.
AG Scientist: "Mein Führer, Lady Reichsführer, Emperor Masaru, and Lord Abaddon. Welcome and thank you for coming. I'm sure you've all been informed about the completion of Dr. Strasse's project."
Karl: (nods) "Indeed. I was informed that this project will help revolutionize our Imperium forever."
AG Scientist: (nods) "What you're indeed hearing is correct, Mein Führer. Please tell me, have you ever heard about the concepts of the multiverse?"
This got their attention, wondering just where he's going with this.
Masaru: "We're aware of such a concept. The idea that there is the possibility of infinite parallel or alternate Earths. Each being either similar or different towards each other. There are Earth's whose history either plays out the same or differently compare to our timeline."
AG Scientist: "Precisely, my Emperor. However, what if I told you that such concepts and ideas were actually true? What if I told you that the idea of the multiverse was indeed a real thing?"
Hearing this intrigued them greatly as they now have an idea on what the scientist is trying to say.
Karl: (raised eyebrow) "You're saying that Dr. Strasse has made something that could only be described as something only to exist in science fiction?"
AG Scientist: (nods) "That is exactly what I'm trying to tell you all, Mein Führer."
Suddenly, Scarlett's eyes catch something to the side of her sight and widens her eyes to see what appears to be an actual portal device.
Scarlett: (disbelief) "Is that what I think it is?"
Her words caught their attention and when they looked at what she is seeing, they're also surprised and shocked by what they're seeing.
AG Scientist: (nods) "Indeed, Lady Reichsführer. What you're looking at here is the result of Die Nebenwelt or Projekt 701. Thanks to the technology we possess, along with many trials and errors, Dr. Strasse has successfully created a quantum tunneling device that could artificially create portals that can cross between alternate worlds. This is his pride and joy, my great leaders. I certainly hope you are all most impressed."
Masaru: (nods) "Impressed we are indeed. If what you're saying is true and this device functionally works, this changes everything for the Imperium."
Karl: (confused) "Come to think of it, where is Dr. Wilhelm Strasse (Wolfenstein)?"
AG Scientist: "My apologies, Mein Führer. Dr. Strasse has stated that he's exhausted after completing his latest project. He's currently sleeping right now and requests he'd be left alone for some good night rest. His words, not mine."
Karl: (nods) "I see."
Meanwhile, Scarlett had a wicked idea on what to do with this new advice as she turned to face her brother.
Scarlett: (evil grin) "Brother, I believe this is the game changer we need to finally to ensure our reign lasts forever."
Hearing this got the attention of the other three leaders as they're curious as to what she means.
Karl: (confused) "What do you mean?"
Scarlett: (evil grin) "Imagine it, brother. Think of all the worlds we can invade and conquer, along with gaining the resources out of it. With this device, we can raise the Axis flags over INFINTE worlds AND our Empire will last ALL of eternity!"
Abaddon: "I agree with my Goddess! With this device, we can spread our rule to other worlds ripe for the taking! As for me, I can finally have more slaves for sacrifices and ensure my Kingdom grows rapidly."
Both Karl and Masaru saw the evil glints in Scarlett's and Abaddon's eyes. While they can see the promise in such a plan for a Multiversal invasion, they have yet to see if the portal device works properly.
Karl: "We shall discuss this back in the meeting room. While I can see your plans are sound, we must bring this up with the others."
Scarlett pouts but nods regardless. After the scientists explain all the details and data they could give them, the Axis leaders leave in order to discuss about these new recent developments.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
After learning about the creation of the portal device and its details, the Axis leaders are in discussion about what to do with their new invention. Likewise, present in the room are important Battalion commanders and Generals who are new being informed about the appearance of the portal device created by Dr. Wilhelm Strasse. As one would expect, they're all in both shock and in disbelief that something straight out of science fiction is not only real but they now have access to the rest of the multiverse as a whole. After hearing about what Scarlett and Abaddon plan to do with the device, the reactions are quite mixed as Obersturmführer Henry Wittmann speaks up.
Henry: "I must admit. This is indeed quite... something Reichsführer. While I'm not exactly against your plan madam, I must indeed bring up concerns that if we do this, we could risk stretching our forces too thin due to these planned invasions of yours."
Scarlett: "Calm down Obersturmführer. I'm well aware of your concerns but you need not worry. I've already been working on those 'Dolls' back at the Doll factory and our breeding farms should help with producing more soldiers. So, we should have enough numbers."
The Obersturmführer rubbed his chin a bit, actually seeing the point Scarlett is trying to make.
Henry: "Well... when you put it like that... I supposed you do indeed make a very good point."
Karl: "Well then, does anyone else have anything to say? Any concerns that should indeed be brought up?"
Dr. Helena Mengele, the main commander of the Forschungsbataillon (Research Battalion),
Helena: "I believe, with full confidence, that what the Reichsführer proposes will indeed do good for our Imperium. The more worlds at our disposal, the better. Besides, while I'm no scientist, if Dr. Wilhelm Strasse were here, he'd be telling us that our current resources aren't infinite. While it's true we could still just colonize and maybe terraform the planets within our sol system, it'll take too long and be too much resource consumption. Thus, our empire might not last long without the necessary resources. Maybe not in a long time for sure, but it will happen eventually."
Most of the people can't help but find the logic in Dr. Mengele's words. It was true that given the current state of their world, eventually their world won't last for long and sooner or later they'll be forced to look for other worlds for humanity to settle on. Despite the use the concentration camps and ethnic cleansing of all those they deemed 'impure' or 'sub-human', the German and Japanese population (along with the Russian population who are all Satanists and under Abaddon's control) were growing rapidly. Though things are fine right now, they do indeed see a possibility that in a matter of decades or centuries, the human population will be too much, and resources will run out eventually. Seeing that everyone might agree to his sister's plan, Karl speaks up once more.
Karl: "Anything else? No? Then I suppose we're all in an agreement of doing a multiversal invasion."
While everyone appeared to agree, either willingly or out of fear, being the more outspoken and leveled individual he is, Feldmarschall Emmett Rommel spoke up with concerns about the dangers of using this portal device.
Emmett: "I have something to say, I'll be blunt with you all. I see this as a COLOSSALLY terrible idea."
Karl: (confused) "What do you mean?"
Emmett: "Mein Führer, with all due respect, but I believe that using Dr. Strasse's invention will bring the downfall of the Imperium. We have NO idea on what we'll encounter on the other side. I can understand the need for more resources, but I do believe that we should indeed focus more on our space program. If we want resources and supplies to feed our population, then we should look to the stars, not some would where we'll encounter something that can not only fight back but destroy our nation as a whole."
Of course, his response got looks of outrage from both Scarlett and Abaddon.
Scarlett: (glares) "You coward! Do you have any idea how much of an opportunity this is?! Why should we settle for just one planet, much less a single universe, when we can have hundreds, thousands, even MILLIONS of universes at our disposal?! This would be the very definition of a gold mine!"
Abaddon: (glares) "I agree with Lady Scarlett on this! My kingdom needs more sacrifices! My Lord and Savior Satan demands more blood, including the blood of children! Finding parallel or alternate Earths with more humans will help replenish those numbers!"
As expected, Emmett glared at Abaddon with both hatred and disgust. Out of the four Axis Leaders, the Feldmarschall outright hated that monster in human skin.
Emmett: (glares and scoffs) "Then excuse me for being SO cautious about this whole 'brilliant' plan of yours. I am just concerned about our Empire, not satisfying your lust for blood. In case you don't know - oh, wait, I think you already do - that we are the only ones who still have rational minds to see this through. Unlike you, all you care about is pleasing your fictional god."
Abaddon: (growls) "Why you piece of shit! How dare you insult my Lord and Goddess!"
Helmuth: (nods) "I agree with Feldmarschall Rommel. How can we be so sure that the portal won't lead us to a universe that could become our Empire's downfall? The worst thing that can happen is that the portal will connect to a universe where humanity has become gods, and we get obliterated in seconds."
Henry: (glares) "That's absurd, Commander Richthofen. You've read too many science fiction novels."
Helmuth: (glares) "And the fact that we have a portal leading to various and infinite universes doesn't concern you at all, Obersturmführer Wittmann?! And you're telling me that I'm being absurd when there is a literal portal right here, breaking everything we know about science fiction?"
Klaus: (scoffs) "Oh, please. What's the worst that can happen to us if we happen to piss off an enemy stronger than us when we CAN crush them, showing them the MIGHT of the Axis Imperium?"
Kazuki: (rolls eyes, sarcastically) "I don't know. What if we choose to invade a world where the Allies won the war and became a hyperpower faction like we are now? What if we stumble upon a world where America, Canada, Britain, France, China, or even the goddamn Soviet Union are hyperpower nations, and we engage in a prolonged stalemate war with them?"
What Kazuki said does make everyone in the room concerned, but some give him odd looks as Hiroshi asks his friend.
Hiroshi: (raises eyebrows) "I can understand the Allied countries you mentioned, but why Canada?"
Kazuki: (shrugs) "Just a thought that occurred to me. After all, who's to say there isn't a universe where North America united into one?"
Ingrid: "Although, if we find a universe where humanity has achieved space travel technology, along with other advanced tech, I'd say we should invade them to steal more resources and acquire more slaves for our Empire."
Erica: (glares) "You moronic bitch! What if they have warships in space?! They can bombard our forces from orbit!"
Ingrid: (glares) "What'd you call me?!"
Eventually, the whole room erupted into a full-blown argument. The more logical and reasonable members agreed with Emmett, thinking that using the portal device could spell doom for their civilization while the more fanatical and egotistical people agree with Scarlett and Abaddon in conquering and annexing more worlds for their growing empire. Eventually it got so bad that it soon led to some physical fights in the room like Emmett trying to strangle Abaddon via a chokehold and the satanist punching the Feldmarschall in the face repeatedly. Meanwhile, Masaru was silently watching everything unfold, waiting patiently as he glances at his friend Karl to see if he'll do anything. Soon, after finally getting annoyed by the pointless arguing,
Karl: (glares) "ENOUGH!!!"
Hearing this loud voice, the room became silent and everyone in the room stopped what they were doing. Scanning the room with his fierce and serious glare, he addresses everyone as he makes sure EVERYONE stops trying to kill each other.
Karl: (glares) "You will all stop with these childish antics! If you don't will be forced to enact strict disciplinary actions. Yes, that'll also include both you sister and Abaddon."
The evil pair looked outraged by this but said nothing. As for everyone one, they all stopped with the arguing as Karl gave the final say on what to do.
Karl: (sigh) "Feldmarschall, I understand your concerns and while you may indeed make some very good points, I'm afraid I'll also have to agree with Dr. Mengele on this. Our world may have enough resources to feed our people, but it isn't infinite. And even if we do begin colonizing our sol system, even that isn't infinite either. Our galaxy, much less our entire universe, is NOT infinite so we need to seek out others in order to ensure our survival. Hence why I am agreeing with my sister's plan of multiversal conquest."
Emmett: (shocked) "But Mein Führer-!"
He shuts up and flinches when Karl snaps his head towards him with a wrathful glare. With no choice, the Feldmarschall backs down, allowing the Axis Führer to speak one last time.
Karl: (glares) "My decision is final. Anyone who goes against this decision will face execution, understand?"
No one in the room said anything, indicating that they're all joining in on a war of the multiverse, either willingly or forced. Emmett wanted to speak up more but doesn't and sighs as he can clearly see there is no point no more. So instead, he's forced to give up as Emperor Masaru believes this meeting is now over."
Masaru: "Well I guess this meeting is done. If you don't mind my friend, I'll take my leave. I have an army to prepare."
With the meeting now finally done, everyone began to leave in order to either rest or go back to their posts. For Emmett Rommel and those who supported him, they all began to feel a sense of dread and grow terror that sooner or later this plan of theirs is gonna bite them eventually. They just don't know that one of the universes they'll end up in will show them the true meaning of HELL ON EARTH.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Later, after the whole meeting, Scarlett is seen entering into her office with Abaddon right outside as she gives him new orders.
Scarlett: "Abaddon, prepares our forces and have them be ready to move out as soon as possible. I want everything ready by tomorrow."
Abaddon: (bows) "It will be done my Holy Goddess."
The Satanist leaves and the door closes, leaving the Reichsführer-SS of the State of Burgundy alone in his office. Approaching the window and seeing the dark, rainy clouds, the fascist Nazi woman grin evilly as he plans for multiversal domination will soon come to fruition and become a reality.
Scarlett: (evil grin) "Soon, the multiverse will be ours and NOTHING will stop us."
She lets out an evil laugh that's so loud it echoes across the entire base for all to hear.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Meanwhile, the scene shifts back to Ray as he's still seen traveling through dimensions before finally a portal opens and he's spat out on an unknown location. Groaning in both pain and agony, he manages to stand up despite his injuries. As he was walking, he soon stumbles across an abandoned town and looks around in shock to see the whole place was a total wreck.
Ray: (shocked) "What... what happened here?"
Suddenly, he winces and falls to his knee due to his injuries. Clutching the wound tightly, Ray suddenly hears footsteps. Looking up, he sees what appears to be a group of soldiers approaching him with their assault rifles trained on him.
???: "Freeze! Identify yourself right now! Who are you?!"
Unable to speak at first, he winces at the agonizing pain but he's able to speak to them in a pleading tone.
Ray: (pleads) "Please... help... help me..."
Seeing the blood on him, one of the soldiers approaches him and kneels down, seeing the stab wound on his lower chest.
???: "Alright. Look, just hold on. We'll get you a medic and-"
He was cut off when Ray grabbed the soldier's hand and placed Red Tornado's Neo-Cortex on top of it. Soon, Ray emitted a golden glow to show his now blooded face to the soldier, shocking him.
???: (shocked) "What... the hell?"
Unable to keep conscious, Ray collapses onto the ground as the soldier tries to keep him alive.
???: "Hey! Come on, don't die on me. Hey, I need some help over here! Help!"
Just as Ray was about to lose consciousness, his eyes catch sight of a familiar red, white, and blue flag with stars on the soldier's shoulder.
==========
(A/N: And that's it. The chapter is finally done. If you're unfamiliar, the beginning to mid-section of this chapter is based on the intro episodes from DC Crisis on Earth-X and Freedom Fighters: The Ray. Again, a big shout out to WWIIFanHistory since this story idea belongs to him. Anyway, that's all for now so see you all in the next chapter.)
