In Latveria, Captain America has
discovered a mass grave full of civilian casualties and vows to go after
Salvation, leader of the True Latverians political party. He tells this to SHIELD
Team member Joe Ramos via radio as Nick Fury Jr. is giving them their orders to
continue searching for Doctor Doom’s WMDs….
Cap and the Sandus inform Alina
von Doom about the mass grave. Cap persuades her that her followers must join
with the Latverian Liberators to fight Salvation and his army and that Alina
must be the voice that rallies them….
Salvation learns that the mass
grave was found and he soon hears Alina broadcasting a call to arms, announcing
that she is still a pacifist but that this is a fight and they need fighters.
Cap signs off the message with a vow to stop Marius Wolf a/k/a Salvation….
The SHIELD team hears the message.
Joe Ramos and Charles Castlemore think they should follow Cap’s lead and join
the fight. Trevor Tambling and the Red Widow insist that the more important job
is the one they were given, to uncover Doom’s weapons before Salvation can get
them….
So Cap leads a mob of citizen volunteers
against Salvation’s castle and Cap’s tactics lead the enemy into an ambush as
Alina rallies the fighters. Farmwoman Mirel, whom Cap met in issue #7 entrusts
her young son to her father, grabs her rifle and heads for the battle….
Cap is caught by the enemy but
rescued by Ramos and Castlemore. Meanwhile in his plane, General Ross and his rogue
troops learn of what is happening on the ground and he schemes to use Cap and
SHIELD to conquer Latveria for America. Elsewhere, Tambling and the Red Widow
capture Oratio Klavik, Doom’s top general and question him about the location
of the weapons….
And then a pair of soldiers find
Alina on a roof, rallying the troops and they hit her. Cap hears a gunshot over
her radio and then Salvation, dressed in a variation on Doom’s armor,
challenges him to battle….
