"Day of Infamy... Day of Shame!"
Bucky is crestfallen upon discovering he's just flown across the Atlantic in vain. But he can't dwell on his disappointment for long, as Toro is hovering between life and death.
Leaving his fellow teen in the care of the doctors at a local hospital, by chance Bucky meets a nurse who knows the current whereabouts of the esteemed doctor Sam Sabuki.
Having had to fight his way past Military Police at the Relocation Centre that Sabuki's been confined to, Bucky is appalled at the living conditions of the Japanese families corralled together.
Without hardly any time passing between explanations of Bucky's mission to Sabuki and his daughter, Gwenny Lou, the earth below them erupts as a mechanical digger vehicle rears itself brusquely.
Three masked agents representing each of the Axis powers; German, Italian and Japanese, spring from the digger contraption imploring Sabuki to leave with them.
Not if Captain America's partner has anything to do with it. Bucky easily deals with the agents, until their leader appears.... Agent Axis.
