Blitz Protocol: A Mercy(less) Foe

Mercy turned a dial on her weapon, and it hummed to life. "Look at you. Are these your friends, making sure you don't fall in the mud all the time?" She remarked.

"That was one time, and you know my name is not Wesley." Wess said.

"Wait, you two know each other? What is she, deranged girlfriend, hateful ex?" Emma asked

"Read the room Emma, know is not the time." Hans said.

"Look, this doesn't have to be messy. Just hand it over peacefully and let me go. No-one has to get hurt." Mercy said, lowering her weapon slightly.

"Listen here. You don't know what this is, neither do we. It needs to be safely locked away." Andreus said.

"I know what it is. A means of salvation to this planet. You have five seconds to drop your weapons. Four. Three. Two. One!" She raised the weapon and it charged with energy. The team scattered as she pulled the trigger. A blast like a sound wave rippled through the area, kicking up dirt as it did. With a smirk, Mercy stepped forwards. Dutch, Erika and Andreus broke cover and fired at her, but missed. She fired back, the blasts ripping the trees from the ground, but the three got away. Hans ran at her from the flank. She turned, striking him with her weapon. He stumbled, then punched her straight in the face. The force knocked her back, and she dropped the weapon. Then looked him dead in the eye and charged. She struck him in the gut then the face. He staggered back. "Not so tough are you; soldier boy?" she said, thrust kicking him over.

"Drop it Mercy!" Wess yelled aiming his gun at her. But she smiled. "I know you Wess, you won't pull the trigger on a former friend." With that she grabbed her weapon and fired at him. The blast hit him square on, knocking him off his feet and into the dirt. But it left no damage at all. She then turned to Dutch, who was making a run to the Nachtvogel. Behind him was Erika. Mercy took aim and fired on them. The blast hit Erika first, knocking her into Dutch and they both hit the ground.

Mercy dropped her weapon, pulled out a side arm and ran towards them. Andreus fired at her, but she ruthlessly fired back, causing him to duck behind cover. "Hey crazy!" Emma yelled from behind. Mercy turned only to be met by Emma's first. Mercy stumbled and smiled. "You saw me beat up your friend there, don't think I'll go easy on you because you're a girl." she said.

"I wouldn't expect anything else lady." Emma said before charging forwards. She swung at Mercy's face again, but this time she dodged. Mercy grabbed her by the shoulders before thrusting her knee into Emma's stomach. Behind her, Andreus came running in. Mercy, still holding Emma, spun around and pushed her back, sending her stumbling into the oncoming Andreus; who didn't have time to stop before colliding with her.

Mercy simply whipped her hands before heading over to Dutch and Erika. They had just gotten to their feet and raised their hands to fight. Mercy stopped and gestured for them to come at her. They did. Erika swung a wide hook. But at the last moment Mercy ducked, causing her to punch Dutch in the face. He fell backwards and Mercy kicked Erika back. Then she pointed her side arm at Dutch, stepped on his arm and pried the case with the alien tech from his hands. "Thanks Blitz. And here I thought I'd have to get my hands dirty." she said.

She ran for her helicopter, grabbing her alien weapon on the way. "Mercy stop!" Wess yelled, lunging in from the side and tackling her down. She landed on her back and he pinned her down. "Mercy I know you and this isn't you." he said.

"Wrong Wess. You thought you knew me." With that, she kicked him in the stomach, forcing him off her. Then got to her feet, gathered the case and weapon before boarding the helicopter. "So long Blitz! You don't yet realise it, but this is for the greater good! Until we meet again!" she called as the helicopter took off and vanished.

The team got up, battered and bruised. Dutch's noses was bleeding from when Erika accidentally punched him. "Who in the world was that Wess?" Andreus asked.

"Mercy Braun. She was in military intelligence when I was a cadet in the army. We were friends, and she taught me a lot." Wess replied.

"Where'd she learn to fight like that. We all just got our butts handed to us." Dutch said, wiping his bleeding nose.

"She's done a lot of fighting styles, even mastered some. She's also skilled with computers, weapons, planning, almost everything."

"Sounds like a real character this girlfriend of yours." Emma said.

"Let's get this straight, Mercy is not my girlfriend, never was, never will be."

"Sure, sure." Emma replied, not convinced.

"We need to get back to base and let Richter know things went sideways." Andreus said as the group began boarding the Nachtvogel.

Kilometers away, the helicopter came towards a facility hidden in the mountains. Mercy pulled out a phone and pressed dial. "Yes Agent Braun?" a voice said on the other side.

"For the last time don't call me that. And you'll be glad to know that I have the device." she replied.

"Excellent. Soon we'll be ready to construct our device and first Germany, then Europe and the world will bow to Doctor Blitzkrieg." the voice replied.

Next time: Blitz has to race against time to stop Doctor Blitzkrieg and Mercy Braun from completing their master weapon.
