Bab 49: Ch.48: Meeting the Howling Commandos
________________________________________________________________________________
New Delhi, Bharat, May 18, 1943
In the heart of KAVACH's command center, Aryan stood before a vast array of screens displaying live feeds from various operations across Bharat. The room buzzed with activity, but Aryan's focus was solely on the holographic figure of Athena, who was guiding KAVACH's strategic decisions and ensuring everything was in order. Her role in KAVACH was similar to Cortana from the Halo universe.
Athena's form flickered to life, her voice calm and precise. "Aryan, the operations to disrupt the British plans are going smoothly. We have eliminated and captured several high-ranking officers of the British agencies. Additionally, the unwanted elements in Bharat, previously spared due to their hidden status, have been neutralized. Proper evidence has been collected to implicate them."
Aryan nodded, "Good, make sure the operation runs smoothly. Take this opportunity to clean the house properly. I will take care of the political side of things."
"Understood," Athena replied.
With that, Aryan nodded and then teleported away to his office. He had much to take care of while the operation was ongoing.
New Delhi, Bharat, May 19, 1943
Aryan sat in his office at Rashtrapati Bhavan, the early morning light filtering through the grand windows. The room was a blend of traditional Bharat elegance and modern technology, reflecting the nation's journey towards a new era. On his desk lay the detailed reports prepared by Karna, outlining the recent actions taken by KAVACH.
As Aryan read through the documents, a sense of accomplishment washed over him. The reports were thorough, detailing the successful operations that had further weakened British control in the region. The strategic push had resulted in Bharat taking total control of Burma, Ceylon, and the Maldives. The British were still present in these regions because of the war and their role as part of the Allied forces. However, they were now under heavy surveillance by Bharat. Each page of the report highlighted the efficiency and precision with which KAVACH had executed the plans.
Aryan's reforms had clearly paid off. The security measures implemented had not only ensured the success of these operations but also paved the way for further reforms. With the unwanted elements now neutralized, Aryan could focus on cultural and social reforms without the constant threat of internal disruption.
As he leaned back in his chair, contemplating the next steps, Athena's form flickered to life.
"Aryan, we have received communications from the Americans regarding the agreement of a combined strike against Hydra and Axis with their Howling Commandos. The Americans have received critical intel on the position of Arnim Zola. They are requesting us to join them," she informed in a calm voice.
Aryan's eyes sparkled with determination as he listened to Athena's update. "Very well, inform the Americans that we will join their strike against Hydra and Axis. I will personally lead a team of our best metahuman agents," he said, his voice resolute.
Athena nodded, her holographic form flickering slightly. "Understood. I will relay the message immediately. Who will you be taking with you?"
Aryan leaned forward, his mind racing through the possibilities. "Karna, Shakti, Varshika, and Rudra are currently ensuring our security here. I will form a new team for this mission. Also, I will deploy my clones to maintain my presence here while I lead the strike."
Athena's eyes glowed with approval. "A wise decision. I will coordinate the logistics. Who will be part of your strike team?"
Aryan smiled, a plan forming in his mind. "I will take Agni, our fire manipulator; Vayu, who controls the winds; and Naga, our stealth expert. They have been performing consistently in our recent operations. Together, they will be a formidable force."
Athena's form shimmered as she processed the information. "Excellent choices. I will ensure they are briefed and ready for deployment. The Americans will be informed of our participation and the capabilities of our team."
Aryan stood, his resolve unwavering. "Prepare the team and the necessary equipment. We move at dawn."
New Delhi, Bharat, May 20, 1943
As dawn broke, Aryan and his team assembled at the designated teleportation point. Agni, Vayu, and Naga stood ready, their expressions mirroring Aryan's determination. Athena's holographic form flickered beside them, providing final instructions and coordinates for their rendezvous with the Howling Commandos.
"Remember, this mission is critical to neutralize Hydra and Axis forces. Stay focused and follow the plan," Aryan instructed, his voice steady.
With a nod from each team member, Aryan activated his teleportation skill. In an instant, they were transported to a remote Allied base in Europe, where the Howling Commandos awaited.
Allied Base, Europe
The base buzzed with activity as soldiers and operatives prepared for the upcoming strike. Aryan and his team materialized in the center of the command tent, drawing the attention of the Howling Commandos. Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, James Howlett, Nick Fury, Peggy Carter, and the rest of the team turned to face the newcomers.
Aryan's eyes widened slightly as he analyzed them. Bucky Barnes, Peggy, and Nick Fury seemed to have undergone similar experiences as Steve Rogers, which made him Captain America. They were all supersoldiers now. Not including James Howlett, who was a metahuman, also known as Wolverine in the future, Nick Fury's presence was also surprising as this indicated a mixed timeline of the Marvel universe that included movies and comics.
At the sight of the enhanced members of the Howling Commandos, he began to think it must have happened due to his presence and the changes in the timeline that he caused. Also, the American government must have realized the threat of metahumans Bharat had the possession of. So, he quickly composed himself, masking his surprise with a calm demeanor. The presence of Bucky Barnes, Nick Fury, and Peggy Carter as super soldiers was unexpected, but Aryan knew better than to let it show.
"Captain Rogers, Peggy, it's nice to meet you again, and your team seems to be quite formidable." Aryan greeted them, smiling warmly, extending his hand to Captain America.
Steve Rogers shook Aryan's hand firmly. "It's nice meeting you again too, Aryan. We've heard a lot about your recent operations against Hydra and Axis. We're glad to have you on board."
Peggy Carter, standing beside Rogers, nodded in agreement. "Nice to see you again too Aryan, I hear you have been quite busy recently," she said, smiling warmly and moving for a warm hug between acquaintances.
Aryan returned the hug warmly. "Yeah, you know a lot of people depend on me so I have to take responsibility," he replied, smiling.
As they separated, Bucky, who looked similar to the movies in his previous life introduced himself, "Hello Mr. Aryan, I am Bucky Barnes. I've heard much about you from Steve and Peggy. We've got a tough mission ahead, but with your team's abilities, we will stand a better chance."
James Howlett, who also looked quite like Hugh Jackman, with his signature claws retracted, gave a curt nod. "Grrr, let's get this done, Bub."
Nick Fury, looked more like his comics counterpart, exuding confidence and strength, stepped forward. "We've been briefed on your capabilities," Fury said. "We'll coordinate our efforts to ensure maximum efficiency."
Aryan introduced his team, highlighting their unique abilities. "Let me introduce you, this is Agni, our fire manipulator; Vayu, who controls the winds; and Naga, our stealth expert. Together, they'll be a formidable force against Hydra and Axis."
Peggy Carter smiled. "We're looking forward to working with you. Let's show Hydra what we're made of."
