Chapter 10 - Superiority and Overkill

Natasha Romanoff was tasked with searching for the governor's kid with another Hydra agent, but she did not know that. They would arrive first, but only by 10 minutes, enough time to set up a perimeter and such. They set off.

The Hydra agent had a different task, and that was to set up Hydra surveillance. He would also help set up shield surveillance, but install a backdoor as always. Natasha and the Hydra agent were in the same cop car, making their way to the location, and the Hydra agent kept sneaking glances at a certain area of the cop car.

[MTF]

They have been making their way overnight, taking shifts, making sure they would be well rested in case of an ambush. They had decided on a plan earlier that ride, and it would change depending on the situation that was presented to them. The 2 black vans they jacked were making their way at a steady speed. 

[At the school]

The officers, Shield, and Hydra arrived on schedule and began setting up a perimeter. They had informed the school ahead of time of their arrival, so there were no issues. Natasha split from the group as she went to scout the area. The Hydra agent stayed with the officers as he subtly set up mini cameras at the entrance of the school while he made his way inside towards the direction of the kindergarten section with his "fellow" officers, fighting the urge to follow Natasha (Bad Hydra). The officers quickly located a janitor's room, and they opened the door, and sure enough, a flight of stairs was present. They closed the door and started closing the area off as they radioed in a confirmation. Natasha returned just in time to see them radio in a confirmation. She then made her way back to the group and told them some important details from her scouting.

School was out as it was a weekday, and the only cars here should be minimal. They heard 2 cars pull up in the parking lot, and when they took a peak it was two unmarked black vans. Natasha was the first to notice, followed by the hydra agent and the officers. Multiple people stepped out of the vans, kitted out, clearly not here with good intentions. When they noticed each other, both of them spared no words before pulling out weapons and taking shots before quickly diving to cover. The officers reported in over the radio, and backup was on its way. Natasha was behind a corner, facing the entrance. She had already realized these people were not ordinary. From the moment they made eye contact, she could feel the pressure they emitted, even here, from the Red Room felt pressured by 1, now with all of them, she knew they stood close to no chance.

The MTF had put the ambush plan into motion, and some split off as they climbed the roof, preparing to cave in the roof to crush anybody beneath them and seal the entrance, while the construction company would come by after the fact and seal 087. The few who had gone up onto the roof were carrying abnormally explosive grenades. The plan was simple: the ground forces would distract them as they got into a shootout, while they would lay a line of explosives, collapsing the bell tower above the hallway, intending to seal the entrance until further notice.

Natasha had noticed the 3 people splitting from the group, but she had yet to determine what they were going to do. She recalled there was only 1 other entrance from that direction, and it was far away, so it would take time to reach her. The windows could be broken to climb in, but if they did that, she would have heard it already, since it was not a far walk. She concluded that they would be either climbing up or entering from the far entrance about 3 mins out. They were still getting shot at; they had pistols, while they had automatic rifles.

The shooting was still happening, but sirens could be heard inching closer and closer. The MTF split once more, and they headed in the direction, ready to intercept the officers that would arrive. The officers, seeing this, urgently radioed in the warning before going back to cowarding and getting some shots off. Natasha deduced the worst outcome. They were planning on intercepting, so they were not planning on going down fast or easily.

The MTF tasked with intercepting had arrived at the optimal position, and as the bearcats rolled in close, they threw grenades, planning to make the driver lose control and eliminate a worry.

The explosions rang out, followed by the groan of a tree as it tumbled. Natasha and the officers inside were downtrodden. They made a quick decision and tried to move away, but as soon as they tried, they were grazed and were forced back into the cover as they kept firing. 

The MTF on the roof had finally planted the explosives on the pillars and tied them to each other so when they pulled the string, it would unpin all the grenades at once. They pulled the string and ran off the roof as fast as they could and took cover behind a dumpster. Natasha heard the unpinning of grenades before she screamed for everybody to scatter as she jumped through the fake roof and got as much distance as she could from the hallway. The Explosion exploded outwards and launched Natasha through the wall on the other side of the school. The hallway was nonexistent anymore; the officers and agents were impaled by hundreds of pieces of shrapnel as the force smashed them into the floor tiles, crushing their bones and popping their hearts and other organs inside them. The explosion sounded like a jet flying low, followed by the wind whiplash. The MTF in the parking lot was also launched, but managed to get back up fast. The MTF who took cover behind the dumpster managed to lessen the launch but was still launched outwards with a force equivalent to being hit by a car. 

The tower collapsed after the shockwave went upwards and shattered the concrete all the way to the tip. The unlucky survivors inside who were still semi-conscious were crushed under the weight of the tower, which was now completely wasted and covered the kindergarten class and the hallway. The officers who arrived believed the school had just been hit by a missile or something of the sort; they were stunlocked wide eyed and slacked jawed. 

The surrounding area was in chaos as residents stepped out of their house kids and dogs crying. Some had been recording the shooting from afar and captured the moment the explosion happened.

The MTF started to retreat as they moved towards the lot, while the ones that intercepted the officers quickly rendered them unable to continue combat and moved away to the extraction. When everyone had finally reached the vans, they turned on the vans and drove away with great difficulty as the shockwave severely damaged internal components, but the same was said for all the cars at the scene.

Natasha had survived and was doing fine, but she didn't dare chase or stop the mysterious people. She had determined the risks were not worth it when they had explosives that powerful. She waited until they had left the scene and Radioed in for the police, followed by her calling Shield and relaying the events that had just happened. The news arrived fast and spread worldwide just as fast. By 1 hour and 30 mins, the news had reached global levels, and all of the agencies had mobilized to investigate.

The president was forced to make the 2nd address, and this time he was extremely serious, even threatening to launch a nuclear bomb if Tony was not returned and the terrorists responsible for the attacks in America were not turned in.

[With Ant]

I can't express the dismay I felt watching the video of the explosion and the other related news. It was a damn staircase with no threat unless anybody was in it. How in the actual hell did a simple sealing of a door turn into a massive explosion that leveled a tower and deleted an entire section of the school? I just realized I never told the MTF that we don't have amnestics or any power. I will not be taking responsibility for this incident... it was simply an overkill from the MTF, and it is not my fault in the slightest.

Even if it was my fault, how the hell did they resort to levelling an entire bell tower? I might be high on drugs because this makes no sense in any way, shape, or form in the training they received, right?
