Battle in the Valkyrie

"You don't give up do you?" "Nope!"

- Red Skull and Captain America

The Battle in the Valkyrie was the final battle that Captain America participated in during World War II.

Background
After taking out many HYDRA bases and thwarting many of their attacks, Captain America, the Howling Commandos, and the Strategic Scientific Reserve went to attack the Schnellzug EB912. In the attack, Gabe Jones succeeded to capture Arnim Zola, but Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers best friend, fell off the train and down the mountain and was presumed dead. After Zola told Chester Phillips that Red Skull was planning to attack almost everywhere on Earth, the plan to finally take down HYDRA once and for all had begun. Captain America prepared to attack HYDRA at their headquarters. He went there and after defeating many of their soldiers, he let them capture him. After having a short conversation with Red Skull, the remaining members of the Howling Commandos came in with a few members of the US Army. The Red Skull left in the ship known as the Valkyrie. Chester Phillips and Peggy Carter took Red Skull's car and used it to get Steve onto the Valkyrie and before Steve left he and Peggy shared their first and last kiss.

Battle
When Captain America made it onboard the Valkyrie he saw that the bombs were supposed to be piloted and one of them were meant for New York, Steve Rogers' hometown. Steve took down most of the bombs, but when he was trying to stop the one for New York he was stopped by a HYDRA Soldier and fell out of the Valkyrie with the bomb, the soldier on the bomb, and the bomb's pilot.

Captain America managed to defeat both soldiers and fly the bomb back onto the ship. He found Red Skull and the two of them fought in an epic battle which ended with Captain America attacking the Tesseract. Red Skull picked it up and it supposedly transported him to another dimension. The Tesseract melted itself out of the Valkyrie and landed in the Atlantic Ocean.

Aftermath
Even though Captain America defeated the Red Skull, the Valkyrie was still in track for New York. Steve managed to contact the HYDRA headquarters with a radio conected to the Valkyrie. The radio was answerd by Jim Morita, but he was inturupted by Peggy Carter, Steve's lover. He told her that he had to land the plane in the ocean. They talked until he finally crashed the plane into an icebreg. Howard Stark went looking for Steve in a submarine but only found the Tesseract.

Almost 70 years after these events, Steve's frozen body was found and freed from the ice by S.H.I.E.L.D.. Steve woke up, and was almost tricked into thinking that he was back in the 1940s, but he wasn't so easily tricked, and ran out discovering that he was in modern day New York.

He met Nick Fury, who told him that he helped save the world in the 1940s.
