Meanwhile, elsewhere, the rest of the operation is... going. At least no one is dead. Sam is getting close, Cap has already got Helicarrier 1 taken care of. Now with Helicarrier 2 handled. Then... Sam fails, as he is knocked off by the Winter Soldier, he asks for Cap's help, and Cap is flown up by Sam. As soon the two battle for the chip, and putting it into the slot. Cap is flown up with the help of Sam to the last Helicarrier. Then is ambushed once more by the Winter Soldier, as his wing is torn off, and Cap falls to a lower thruster, still barely on it. As they race to plug in the last chip. Then... the fight begins between Bucky and Steve Rogers. As the targeting grid for the Helicarriers are activated, and it's 1 minute to activation. As displays light up with thousands of targets. For those heavy-range snipers to take down across the eastern United States. Then... just before activation. It's in. As the 3 Helicarriers are now the only targets.
The Helicarriers fly, and move to hit each other. Kill each other. But... something is wrong with one of them. Hill says over comms, "We have an issue. Ally is not off the Helicarrier! I repeat, her tracker shows she is still on the Helicarrier. She turned off her comms, and is unresponsive!" As Fury and Pierce look outside the windows, while at their standoff. They frown... one of the Helicarriers... is glowing with static cracks in the hull. Spreading slowly. As Hill... hacks... and manages to get footage. That shows... Ally, entirely made of static, toying with a single guard, as he runs from her, through corridors, with no sanity left in her eyes, as she sings a low haunting lullaby with no lyrics. Hill frowns, "Oh hell... what's going on?" Then... the camera sees the back of her head... blood, from some gunshot wound still there, being sealed by rapid, powerful static. She is smiling like a madman. As if in a daze. Hill says, "Ally is compromised. I repeat, compromised. Power is off the rails."
Guns begin to go off, as the 3 Helicarriers fire on each other. Hill frowns, as she sees Cap is not off his Helicarrier either. As the Helicarriers fire countless rounds at each other. Even Ally's one still fires, though crackling with slowly spreading static. Then... as suddenly the roof collapses above Ally, and her prey. She hits her head, and the static covering the Helicarrier glows brighter... as then... it begins to collapse into itself. Like a black hole, and then... it's gone. The entire Helicarrier is gone, while the other 2 Helicarriers continue to destroy each other. But within the center... of the implosion... is a glowing singularity of static that slowly falls to the ground. As cameras below capture a woman half-asleep. Made of static with fox ears, and tail. Land on the ground jittering and glitching. The ground around her... seems to turn animated with a slow spreading wave of static. Before... it covers over a spot where a single shadow fox with a scar lay, and the shadow fox becomes 3D. As it begins to sing quietly. A slow love song. Immensely personal. As she turns towards him... with a blank expression, and slowly... as the love song goes on for 3 minutes. As the cartoonification wave... pulls in, and into her body. The shadow fox... seems to become more and more realistic, flashing into hyper-realistic for a few moments, before disappearing into her. Then... she collapses, as she becomes human once more. With only a static crackling wound on the back of her head... still unhealed.
Eventually, Fury, and the rest handle things. They will, Ally is taken for medical attention, as they find... the bullet went 3mm into her brain. That is what caused this. The wound did heal, but a horrible headache was what she had, as a result. Along with... being nearly unable to move, and intensely drowsy for 3 days. But... when Fury asked, "What happened. You were doing well from what the recordings show. Until... well... you got shot in the head." She is quiet, and says, "Uh... my... survival... instincts triggered, and well... I guess that... is what they do? I... can barely remember... what... happened." Her eyes narrow. As she rewatches the recording of the carrier folding in on itself into a static light that was her body. It reminds her of that car, when she first went ham. Fury asks, "What was that... shadow fox that stabilized you." She is quiet... and frowns... as she sighs... holding her head, she says, "Karlen... he is... kind of close to me I guess." Fury is unsure what to think, considering that very... personal love song. He shakes his head, and sighs, "You need... NEED training! OK!" She is quiet... but nods slowly. Fury sighs deeply, holding his head, "I need to know how far you can control, how much you can do, everything. You need to know your limits. OK... or else... it may be more than a Helicarrier destroyed. Now... my next question is... I need to talk to Mr. Fox." She nods quietly. "I will organize a meeting..." She turns her head... to the wall nearby, talking to someone unseen. "Karlen, tell him that the meeting is today... yeah I know... OK..." She turns... "Karlen says Mr. Fox can meet you here at midnight, just stand in front of a retro TV with me." Fury sighs, and nods. Getting up, leaving her.
Fury sits in his makeshift office. As he watches the footage from the Helicarrier's command desk, as it was pulled into Ally. Rippling static, shaking... and then flashes of static all around the Helicarrier, as then... the data recovery feed into the cloud slowed. Weakened, its connection weak... as with a low bitrate... the Helicarrier was animated, and the sky was animated, with a forest below, as it glitched, lagged more. Then stopped. It was dragged into the fox realm. Then... the fact, that shadow fox became hyper-realistic, just for a moment, as he was using song to pull back her control. It all said one thing... this realm... could infect reality, and reality could infect the realm. Worse... the last seconds of the sensor feed... confirm one thing. The realm is 100% physical.
Worse more... Fury looked at the news. "Helicarrier battle, as SHIELD collapses from within!", "HYDRA in SHIELD!", "Helicarrier disappears into static black hole? What is the government hiding!" He reads his email... too many. The World Security Council, the UN, everyone wants to know... what the fuck was that! He closes it all, as he now sits in front of a retro TV, with Ally's hospital bed nearby. As it stays on static. As he sits, waiting. Then... the TV flickers, and then the static fades to the animated realm of Mr. Fox. As Ally is fast asleep. He says, "Hello Nick Fury. Nice to formally meet you."
Fury sighs, and nods. "Yes... let's talk."
