German Hero Buried In The Rain

Blitzkreig, an icon of the modern Germany, inclusive, efficient and hard working was lain to rest yesterday at a rain drenched ceremony in Berlin. It was attended by officials from his country as well as representatives from the European Union, United States, The Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D were there as well as former team mates from his time in The Ultimates.
The German hero was killed in an oil refinery explosion that also claimed the lives ten workers and firemen though the death tole would have been far higher if not for Blitzkreigs actions. The footage of the event indicates strongly that Blitzkreig suffered a loss of his not considerable power just before his death.
Eyewitness's report seeing him fall from the sky and land in a heap, braking both his legs, something that didn't stop him from struggling forward into the flames to prevent their spread further.
It was a short and sombre ceremony perhaps made even more bitter by the attendance of the final members of the The Ultimates, a team decimated by the horrors that have visited our world in the last few years.
Out of that team many have died while precious few left remain in active service.
Namorita was killed in the incident that sparked the Civil War and Registration act in the United States, team leader Crusader was killed battling The Hulk in New York, Hercules was reported killed in a war with fellow Olympian gods and Blitzkreig was killed last week in Berlin. La Resistance duo Deja Vou and Eurovision both retired shortly after Crusaders death and Magic and Colossus returned to the X-Men and haven't seen action out of that sphere of influence.
Those in attendance yesterday, Deja Vou and Eurovision, stayed as far away from the press as they could and didn't seem lost in their own grief.
The German Government has warned any super villains or terrorists that Germany is far from unprotected at this time and any action on their soil with be met with a swift and uncompromising response.
