59 Relaxion with Yu-agari
A few hours later, Kyle returned to his hotel and had just finished bathing. The room was spacious enough to exercise and keep his body fit while relaxing in a hot tub. Now, Kyle was cooling off and going through the after-bathing process.
Although a few Japanese customs and traditions were unique, Japanese bathing was the strangest cultural custom. It was Viper who introduced Kyle to such methods.
She told him earlier, "Traditional Japanese bathing is a tranquil ritual perfected through centuries--typically taken in the evening. For the Japanese, bathtubs are soaking, relaxing, and always kept clean. Washing and scrubbing belong outside the tub."
She paused and continued speaking, "The Japanese bathing ritual does not end after you dry yourself--indeed, you should continue to deepen your relaxation after bathing--the Japanese call it yu-agari, or after bathing. It's your serenity time. Treasure it--the world can wait."
Kyle had put on some comfortable clothes and was relaxing, but thoughts about Viper made him remember what has happened at the bar...
"Mwahahahahaha! My evil plan is coming together. I shall rule the world!" Kyle sat on the floor in the Japanese hotel room, staring at the detonator. He was laughing while almost crying.
- [E1(5)9WW2 Detonator]: A device with a small sensitive charge used to detonate an explosive. Rare Green Item Card.
- Data: A device for exploding bombs mostly made with [Leftover Tesseract Energy Storage] and other explosive chemical compounds. These bombs will explode in different parts of the earth. The five-minute timer will start before being discharged by turning the switch on and activating it through the button made during World War II.
Kyle picked it up and admired it once more before sending it into his {Card Space}. He has already, in fact, sent a message that he knows the general area of the final base of Hydra.
"Although I am talking like a supervillain, it's no joke that I have seriously done something big..." This time, Kyle had a more solid plan on which path to take for the future.
He continued: "The Multiverse Association Regarding Virtually Exterminating Limits or M.A.R.V.E.L. Organization. I will gather talented allies and arm them with limit-breaking abilities as they become loyal to me. In this world, quality is better than quantity, but I say, 'Why not have both?'"
With a smile, Kyle got up and thought, 'The key to all of this is the bombs Hydra generously planted on the east side, thankfully away from where I plan to set up my base. I can somewhat defend myself if I have a somehow unkillable enemy, like Thanos or even unknowns from the comics. All of this was also completely free! Thank you, Hydra; I will make your death swift."
"My longevity bestowed, superpowered babes will be safe to get stronger while I expand and grow beyond my limits; in conclusion, it's epic." Kyle lay down in bed with a smirk.
However, a message came to Kyle in just a few moments about a new mission.
==================
...
Two nights later, in an Allied base near the southern borders of Germany.
It was early in the morning; the General instructed Kyle to go to the base outside Munich to discuss the attack on Hydra's last shelter.
Kyle did not drag. After simple washing, he had already made it to the meeting place and was starting to hear footsteps.
Kyle was sitting in his chair, and upon seeing the person opening the door, Kyle was surprised to find Nick Fury, who was wearing his iconic black eyepatch.
After Fury entered, many others, including the Colonel from the previous meeting, marched into the room. Many were gathering for another special session, and even General Eisenhower showed up near the end with Steve.
...
After everyone took their seats, the Colonel from before began his presentation.
"It's good to see everyone again soon, but I must make this quick." The man said while gathering everyone's attention.
The Colonel said, "First, I have bad news; the detonator was undiscovered. Mr. Kell and the squad could not find the people with the detonator."
Everyone sat still in their seat without saying a word, terrified because of this nightmarish weapon out in public. They turned to Kyle, who wore a noble face, which relaxed the Officers somewhat.
"However, there is always a rainbow after a storm, isn't that right, Mr. Kell? It would be appreciated if you wouldn't mind telling everyone what you found." The man said as he turned to Kyle.
Kyle nodded and responded, "Thank you. Yes, it is indeed true that we have found something which will change the tides. Although I did help, it could not be done without Colonel Smith and his team."
The Colonel chuckled and replied, "Mr. Kell is too modest and kind. In truth, it is due to him that I can present the such good news. This will not only change the tides, as he says but completely win the war for us!"
He stepped into the center of the command room and told everyone, "Thanks to Mr. Kell and the rest of the team, we have been able to find the base. By narrowing down the general area he provided, my analysts have determined and confirmed an abnormality, proof of an underground facility!"
This news caused an explosion of discussions. Most were surprised, almost shocked, to learn they could end the war so soon.
Even General Eisenhower, when learning of the news beforehand, couldn't help but think, 'It's good we won't have to resort to 'that' weapon.
...
After everyone settled, the Colonel continued his speech, "It is over 500 meters below the Perlacher Forest! Now only that, but we discovered it to be directly under Teiche im Wald inside the forest."
Everyone who heard this was silent; it was the news they were waiting for.
After some time, someone said, "Mr. Kell is a striking man! Reducing at least a year's worth of working to this short time! After our mission is complete, I will personally congratulate him first."
Seeing the Major says this, the personnel give him an upbeat salute while giving Kyle a face of admiration.
Eisenhower shook his head and laughed, "Soldiers, when we finish this mission, we can all congratulate Colonel Kell. For now, we must finish this mission as soon as possible! Arm yourselves today; we will finish this war tomorrow!"
