Marvel: The Journey

In the year 1952, amidst the shadows of a clandestine base in Germany, Val, and Master Man engaged in a fierce battle. The air was thick with tension, and the only sounds that could be heard were the violent clashing of fists and the occasional whimpers of pain.

Val, with blood streaming down his face, held onto Master Man's fists tightly. His eyes were fierce as he snarled at his opponent in fluent German, "You are nothing but a loyal hound of Hydra! No, scratch that, Schmidt's loyal hound! How can you still serve him, even after his demise?"

Master Man's costume was in tatters, and his body bore the marks of the brutal fight. But even in his battered state, he refused to back down. He gripped Val's fists with all his might and growled back, "Hydra will soon reign supreme over the world! You American lapdog will never understand our power!"

With a sudden burst of energy, Master Man pulled Val towards him and delivered a powerful kick to his chest.

* WHAM *

Val was sent hurtling backward, crashing against the wall with a sickening thud. His body convulsed as he coughed up blood, his hand shaking as he wiped the crimson from his mouth.

Val's eyes slowly drifted towards his opponent, Master Man, who stood before him with his fists raised, ready to strike again.

Out of nowhere, Val's eyes caught sight of a rope with sharp blades whirling towards him. Reacting on instinct, he quickly dodged it, leaping to another spot and landing with a thud.

* BANG *

The rope struck the wall with incredible force, leaving a large crack in its wake. Val quickly scanned the room for any other threats.

That's when he saw her - a woman with an outfit that resembled that of a dominatrix, striding confidently towards him from the hallway. Her eyes glinted with malice as she sized him up, clearly ready to engage in battle. 

As the woman drew closer, Val's eyes narrowed in recognition. It was Warrior Woman and he spoke, "So, the husband and wife have finally shown up. This saves me the trouble of having to track you down."

Warrior Woman clicked her tongue in annoyance at Val's words. She quickly retorted, "He's not my husband!" and lunged at him once again with the deadly rope.

Val's reflexes were razor-sharp as he deftly dodged the whirling rope. But just as he thought he had a moment's respite, he caught sight of Master Man charging towards him, fists raised in a deadly blow.

Thinking quickly, Val sprang into action, grabbing Master Man's wrist and twisting it behind his back in one fluid motion. There was a sickening cracking sound as Master Man let out a howl of pain. 

Val delivered a swift kick to Master Man's midsection. The force of the blow sent Master Man hurtling towards Warrior Woman and Val used the momentum from the kick to gracefully land backward on the floor, his eyes never leaving the pair of Hydra agents.

As Master Man hit the ground beside Warrior Woman with a thud, she calmly stepped aside and unleashed a flurry of attacks on Val. Her eyes blazed with an intense fervor as she spun her deadly rope with incredible speed, sending a hail of razor-sharp blades hurtling toward him.

Val deftly dodged the deadly rope and the flurry of blades that were thrown at him. His reflexes were honed to a razor-sharp edge, and he moved with a supernatural speed and grace that left his opponents stunned.

With his senses on high alert, Val carefully assessed his options. He knew that he had to seize every opportunity that presented itself if he was to emerge victorious. As he dodged yet another volley of blades, he quickly noticed that some of them had embedded themselves into the wall. Without hesitation, Val sprang into action, pulling the blades from the wall and expertly hurling them back at Warrior Woman.

As Master Man struggled to regain his footing, he suddenly felt a powerful grip wrap around him. To his horror, he realized that it was Warrior Woman who had grabbed him, using him as a shield to protect herself from Val's relentless barrage of blades.

But it was too late. Val's aim was true, and the blades found their mark with deadly accuracy. Master Man gasped in agony as the razor-sharp blades pierced his chest and stomach, and one even managed to find its way through his skull. In an instant, the life drained from his eyes. 

Val watched as Warrior Woman carelessly toss Master Man's lifeless body aside like a discarded toy. 

"Damn! You're ruthless!" Val exclaimed, unable to contain his disgust.

But Warrior Woman simply shrugged off his words with a cold indifference. "I only care about the Nazi cause. I only care about Hydra. I am superior to trivial things like love," she said, her voice devoid of emotion.

With a shrug, Val replied, "Good for you, then."

Val closed in on Warrior Woman as he dodged her rope with ease, his body moving in a blur as he closed in for the kill.

* WHAM *

Val's punch landed with a sickening thud, the force of the blow sending a shiver down his arm. But Warrior Woman was not so easily defeated - she spun around, her leg lashing out with incredible speed to strike him in the face.

* WHAM *

Val's head snapped back, but he was quick to recover. He brought his arms up in a defensive stance, blocking her next attack with ease. Then, in one swift motion, he grabbed her leg and spun her around, sending her crashing to the ground.

* WHAM *

But Warrior Woman was not one to stay down for long. She sprang back up with a fluid grace that was almost mesmerizing to watch, her eyes blazing with an almost feral intensity. With a quick flick of her wrist, she sent a hail of blades hurtling towards Val, even as she kicked him hard in the chest.

Val's quick reflexes saved him as he dodged the blades thrown at him and moved with an incredible speed. Suddenly, he saw an opportunity and grabbed both of her legs, slamming her against the wall.

* BANG *

* CRACK *

When Val hit Warrior Woman against the wall, the impact sent cracks all over it, causing debris to fall. She quickly regained her footing, but before she could react, Val landed a powerful punch on her face. 

* WHAM *

Blood and teeth spattered on the ground as she staggered back. Despite the blow, she refused to back down and retaliated with a punch of her own.

Their battle raged on, with neither of them willing to back down. They traded blow after blow until Val managed to grab Warrior Woman's rope and wrap it around her neck. As she struggled for breath, Val watched as the blades sunk into her, causing her to utter her final words, "Hail Hydra!!" before succumbing to her injuries.

Val let go of the rope and surveyed the destruction around him. The walls were cracked and broken, and the bodies of Hydra soldiers and scientists littered the floor. He let out a weary sigh and muttered, "Another Hydra base destroyed."
