Ambush at the Llactapata Temple

The Ambush at the Llactapata Temple was an attack staged by Peruvian rebels on government forces that went to the Llactapata Temple in order to retrieve an object of unknown origin during a S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation.
==Background==
Phil Coulson and his team were sent to Peru to secure an impossible artifact that was discovered in the temple. Fitz-Simmons examined the object and concluded that the object was there for over 1,500 years, of German origin and contained a power source. Outside of the temple, Melinda May and Grant Ward took down several members of the Policia Militar del Perú before several vehicles arrived on the scene, outnumbering them. Coulson went out to greet the unit and recognized an old friend, Camilla Reyes, who commanded the unit. The two went on to discuss the situation before they were interrupted by a group of attacking rebels.
==Ambush==
As Reyes and Coulson tried to resolve the dispute, the group was attacked from all angles by Peruvian rebels who were protesting mining policies. Both sides exchanged shots that resulted in a car exploding, damaged to the temple, and several rebels casualties. Hearing the noise, the group inside the temple packed up the equipment and tried to safely contain the object before Ward grabbed it out of the wall and put it in a backpack. Ward escorted the non-combatants out as he briefly disabled several rebels using the Thunderstick. May brought around a car to collect the team, saving them from gunshots. The group was pursued by rebels in a car, but they managed to make a relatively clean escape to the Bus.
==Aftermath==
The two teams took the time to relax on the Bus. Grant Ward engaged in an argument with Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons because Ward thought that they were not ready and was frustrated at that fact. Later, Ward noticed the weird tendencies of the Policia Militar del Perú. Camilla Reyes and Phil Coulson talked alone, but eventually, Reyes turned on him in an attempt to obtain the Peruvian 0-8-4. Coulson's Team was soon captured. Later, Melinda May broke out of her restraints and helped the others. They then had the idea to use the 0-8-4 to blow up the side of the plane. This sucked out a couple of the policia. Skye then inflated a safety raft which blocked the passage of the hole in the plane, saving everyone. Reyes and her remaining allies were arrested.
