Weapon X: Damnation/Issue Three

The third issue of Weapon X and the final part of the first arc of the series.

Synopsis
It's been two days since they where transported to this strange world, and still Weapon X has no idea what they're supposed to do! they've defeated many soldiers, they've given Tony Stark an army, and they've rescued many people, but still they're stuck in this world! but luckily for them, they're about to find out what they need to do. Unluckily for them, once they do this once thought easy mission becomes quite difficult.

Plot
A group of Hydra soldiers are panicking and firing blasts left right and center. One of them pulls out a grenade that causes a large explosion, another three are firing rocket launchers and there's one soldier with blue glowing lenses on his helmet telling everyone what to do. However, his actions prove to be useless as the roof over his head caves in and King Thor lands on top of him. It's revealed the soldiers are fighting Weapon X and the New Avengers, who are using Hydra's own weapons against them. The teams manage to win the battle, and return to the sewers after stealing a large weapon that the Hydra soldiers where protecting.

They run back to the base, with Spider-Man speaking to Super-Skrull, revealing Weapon X has been trapped on this Earth for two days and they are no where near close to finding out what they're supposed to do. Super-Skrull agrees that it's quite annoying, and it'd be great if "someone told us what to do", stopping in his tracks just to deliver that line. When nothing happens he continues running. The Timebroker is revealed to be watching this. The voice he was speaking to in the previous issue asks how Super-Skrull knows he was watching, with Timebroker revealing that they all know but are too determined to call him out. The voice goes silent before saying that the Timebroker is "kind of a jerk" with the Timebroker responding "shut up, here I have power!"

Weapon X return to the base, where Tony congradulates them on getting the weapon, with Tony revealing Hydra planned on using it against them, and that after all they've done after only two days he thinks it's finally time to go after Zemo himself. The entire base goes quiet. The silence is broken by members of the New Avengers building Zemo up, saying he's the most powerful person on the planet, he can defeat anyone in hand to hand combat, and he's one of the smartest men on the planet.

However, despite hearing all this, Spider-Man says he will go after Zemo, with the other members of Weapon X saying so afterwards (though Devastator says it's only to crush Zemo). However, despite seeing this, none of the New Avengers agree to go with them, showing that they are all terrified of Zemo. After seeing this, all of Weapon X has a different reaction. King Thor and Super-Skrull become extremely disappointed, Doctor Fantastic shakes his head, Devastator puts on a large sadistic grin, and Spider-Man becomes shocked, angry, and finally very sad.

Later, Weapon X is walking through the streets, with King Thor leading the way as he's the only one who knows where Zemo's base is. After thinking about everything the New Avengers said, Spider-Man asks Doctor Fantastic if he thinks they were exaggerating when they said all that about Zemo, with Doctor Fantastic replying that he's not sure but he hopes they where. After a brief silence, Spider-Man asks if Doctor Fantastic believes in pure evil. He replies that he doesn't, with Spider-Man asking if that means Zemo can be redeemed. This confuses Fantastic, who questions why he asks, with Spider-Man stating a simple fact that no one has brought up: once they get there, they might have to kill Zemo.

The other members of Weapon X, overhearing his conversation, turn to face Spider-Man. All their members go quiet for a bit before continuing to walk, revealing most of them where thinking the same thing. Meanwhile, Zemo himself is shown watching the heroes, saying that they'll have to get through every level of his defence before they can even think of reaching him. As he says this, Weapon X faces Zemo's first line of defence: small robots that can fire lasers so hot they can melt diamonds. The others are extremely worried, with Devastator letting out a high pitched scream, but all the robots are destroyed by King Thor, who simply throws his hammer and watches it smash all the robots to peaces before catching it and moving on. Super-Skrull then makes a quip about Devastator's scream, with Devastator responding with a swift punch.
