Chapter 53 - First experience in the dungeon and Quake. (1/2)
Coulson, May, Skye and Morse stood in a diamond formation shooting several Chitauri's that are coming at them. The agents shots were fast and precise . Their weapon, energy blasters guns which were provided by Elijah, were lethal.
The agents pushed themselves to the limits as to not be overwhelmed by the soldiers of the SANCTUARY.
The agents used their skills to outwit the hive-like mindless creatures, showing their might as the best field agents in S.H.I.E.L.D.
The hordes of Chitauri stopped coming and was replaced by a 4 man chitauri squadron on their hover vehicles.
The team cursed their luck as it was difficult to deal with flying enemies while on the ground.
The team separated and each of them took cover in one of the corner of the surrounding building. They then began , from the protection of the corners, shooting upwards towards the hovering Chitauri. After few unsuccessful shootings, they managed to bring down the Chitauris , whi dispersed to particles upon elimination.
The team was then teleported out.
Inside a room with Several view-screens, Elijah , Natasha and Banner could be seen watching the team fighting the Chitauri. It was decided to put Coulson's team as first test subjects for the dungeons's functionality. Natasha was satisfied with their performance . As someone who was trained personally by Elijah from a young age, her input in combat is priceless.
After the team was teleported out, the three of them went to the waiting room where the access to the dungeon existed. Every team will be teleported out there if they are hurt or in this case they were teleported by Elijah since he has seen enough and needs to put the team on further test.
They found the agents discussing the fight that happened and how they could do it better.
Natasha:” How was the experience?”
Coulson :” It was very realistic, we felt as if we were in the battle of New York.”
Natasha nodded, agreeing with Coulson's ȧssessment.
Natasha asked the team after they calmed down from the thrill of the battle:” How are you feeling after the fight?”
Skye was the one who answered the first :” I feel stronger and faster.”
Natasha hummed and said :” Can anyone guess why my brother created this dungeon?”
May:” to gain battle experience for the agents.”
Natasha nodded but continued:” That reason too but what you don't know , we were trying to find the appropriate ways of giving our S.H.I.E.L.D agents superhuman bodies similar to Steve Rogers .”
Coulson :” But isn't the serum impossible to replicate?”
Natasha laughed and said :” You are really underestimating my brother, he recreated the serum and created a better one when he was 14 but never used it on anyone.”
The agents gasped specially Coulson since he knew that S.H.I.E.L.D were really unsuccessful in recreating the serum no matter how much they tried.
Natasha continued:” But we voted against giving you the serums. We looked for other means to upgrade your body attributes. So my Brother decided to build a dungeon with function similar to a RPG game. And believe me creating this dungeon is a lot harder than the serums.”
Skye blurted in astonishment:” You mean we get experience and we level up .”
Natasha :” Bingo. This dungeon is now a new training ground but it will be regulated. Any power boost people receive here will feel hard earned better than thinking that power is available for anyone to take. They need to earn it. ”
Coulson agreed with Natasha since power could breed arrogance and superiority in some cases if not hard earned.
Natasha :” You can return to your missions. Skye you will be off to the team for a while. You're needed elsewhere.
Anything that was said now is classified. Don't spell a word about What happened here.”
The agents except Skye left.
Natasha :” who is mentoring you ?”
Skye :” agent May , Director.”
Natasha hummed in understanding then said:” Go Join my brother and Dr. Banner. They need to talk to you.”
