Author's note: If you found yourself curious enough to read this story I would recommend starting with my edited version. It's called "Demigod Chronicles - Saga 1 - Part 1: Beginnings" it's more well written in my opinion but obviously you may do as you please. Have fun :)
Chapter 1
Mysterious Youth
It was a large metal domed room. Most of it was empty except for a walkway that came from a door marked "X". The walkway led to a monitor where a bald man in a wheelchair sat wearing a helmet which was also marked "X". The X-marked door opens and in comes a short hairy man with wild dark hair.
Logan walks up to Charles and says "Any progress yet Chuck?"
Charles nods. "No, nothing yet."
Logan growls. "He can't hide forever, he's gonna have to use his powers at some point."
Charles sighs. "Logan, how can you be sure? We haven't seen him since we left him in Alaska. How do you know it isn't someone new?"
Logan stares at him with surprise. "Cause Chuck, I know it's him. This is his kind of trail. But since Shield is on his tail it's only a matter of time before he slips."
Charles takes off the helmet and starts to exit the room "Well when he does Cerebro will notify me until then we will have to wait. In the mean time why don't you keep yourself busy with the Danger Room?"
"Yeah sure Chuck, will do." Logan replies
"Good" Charles exits.
As soon as the door closes Logan growls and unsheathes his claws with a 'snikt' and says "As long as I get my hands on you, I can wait…..Sabertooth."
Brooklyn, New York
A middle aged woman is in the kitchen watching the news while preparing dinner when suddenly "This is Channel 7 eyewitness news reporter Kristen Thorn reporting to you live from downtown Brooklyn. Today would seem like a regular day to the average store clerk but a few hours ago the unexpected happened. A large hairy man ran in the store trying to avoid some sort of military operatives, the soldiers pursued the man into the store and the area became a warzone in an instant." She gestures to the damaged store behind her, "As you can see the military operatives didn't leave much but destruction. This is one of many buildings that have suffered this fate." The reporter stops her report to check her communication link to make sure she is hearing this right. "We've just gotten word that the mysterious hairy man is now in an open battle in Coney Island with the now identified operative group known as S.H.I.E.L.D. We are now trying to get live feedback."
The middle aged woman gasps. 'I hope he doesn't try and do anything drastic, that's the last thing my heart needs right now'. But it was too late "he" had been watching the report and was already out the door before the woman could stop him. Even if she did get to talk to him she doubts she could have stopped her little but not so little boy.
At the Xavier Institute for the Gifted
Someone else was watching that same report, Evan Daniels, also known as Spyke. He was flipping through channels when he stumbled upon the news report and recognized the so called "hairy man". That could only be one of two people. Logan or Sabertooth. And since Logan is home and Sabertooth is on the run from what he heard, it is definitely Sabertooth. "Oh shit, LOGAN!"
Logan comes running in "What is it porcupine?"
Evan points to the TV "Check out the news man"
Logan looks at the TV and sees the commotion. After a few moments he realizes the situation. "Sabertooth" he mutters. He looks at Evan waiting for his response, "Go tell Scott, Jean and the Elf to suit up, we're going to Coney Island right now." Logan said.
Coney Island, the Boardwalk
Sabertooth had been running on the boardwalk for a while now and he's getting tired of running from Nick Fury, he's pretty sure he can take on his lackeys no problem.
Sabertooth comes to a halt and lets the shield agents surround him, they all point their guns at him. Sabertooth grins showing off his razor sharp teeth, he likes to let his enemies think they have a chance.
He pounces on one of them and knocks him out with a hook to the face; he kicks the one coming from behind in the face temporarily flooring him. This had been done so fast that the other soldiers couldn't react in time, but once they had a lock on him they fired away.
While on his way towards another soldier Sabertooth successfully dodged most of the shots but some got through, no matter that's what the healing factor is for. He only dodges them so they don't slow him down too much. Sabertooth dropkicks another operative down to the ground. From there he sweeps the legs from another operative and before the operative falls, he grabs his head and smashes it into the ground making sure he's out. Sabertooth then punches the last one in the gut knocking the wind out of him and then lays him out with a haymaker. Sabertooth then goes back to the one he floored moments ago. He picks up the weapon the operative was holding and aims it at his temple.
Sabertooth can see the fear in his eyes and that makes him grin. "Please! No! Don't kill me! I was just following orders!"
"Do I look like I care meat bag?" He goes to pull the trigger when all of a sudden, a kick to the face sends him flying. He goes right through the wooden floor. That hit dazed Sabertooth, he wasn't expecting it so he let his guard down.
He looks for the person who had the balls to interrupt his "speech", he sees a dark figure but his vision is still a little blurry. Is that the runt? "How bout you pick on someone your own size hairball" the dark figure says. Sabertooth growls, definitely not Wolverine.
Aboard the X-Jet
Piloting the X-jet is Logan, also known as Wolverine. In the Co-pilot seat is Scott Summers also known as Cyclops. Behind them is Jean Grey also known as Marvel girl and Kurt Wagner also known as Nightcrawler. And behind them is Evan.
They are on their way to Coney Island unaware that the situation is being "handled", "So what's the plan Logan?" asked Scott.
"Does anybody else find it weird that even though Scott is the leader of the X-men he still asks for a plan?" Evan said.
"I agree" Kurt added.
"Guys I asked him what the plan is because Sabertooth is personal for Logan and he knows the best way to handle a situation like this especially when that operative group Shield is involved." Scott said.
"So yeah what do you think Logan?" Jean said.
"We take out Sabertooth and we let Shield take him in, that's probably our best bet." Logan replied.
"Hey vhy does Shield get all zhe credit? Vhe do all zhe vork." Kurt folds his arms over his chest.
"Cause bub, we technically don't exist remember? We don't want to reveal mutants to the world just yet, plus the only reason we're here is because Shield doesn't seem to have anybody skilled enough to take him out." With that he unsheathes his claws to look at them "And I have a score to settle with him." he sheaths them again.
"Logan, do you even remember why you and Sabertooth don't like each other?" asked Jean
Logan shakes his head "Nope, can't remember. But I can tell ya one thing red, it's not something I'm gonna forgive him for."
There is a long awkward silence until Scott breaks it "So how long till we get there?" he asked
"Just a couple of minutes so be ready, and that goes for all of you" Logan said.
A minute passes by and they arrive at the Coney Island Boardwalk and what a site to see. The first thing they notice are all the rides that are right next to the boardwalk, most are landmarks which is why the rides are interesting, but what's really interesting is the fight that's going on at the boardwalk. Two figures seem to be going at it, surrounded by about a dozen unconscious Shield Agents.
"Vhoah check it out, someone is going toe to toe with Sabertooth, that's awesome!"
"Yeah, but he doesn't look like Shield." He looks at Logan, "so who is he?" Scott asked.
Logan glares at the dark figure fighting with Sabertooth and is intrigued "Scott land the X-jet" Logan said not paying attention to Scott's question.
"Why can't you do it?" Scott asked.
"Cause I said so shades now get to it." Logan replied. Logan continues to glare at the figure and can't help but wonder, 'who is he?'
Coney Island, the Boardwalk 10 minutes ago
"How bout you pick on someone your own size hairball" the dark figure says. Sabertooth grunts, 'There's no way that's Wolverine, he doesn't talk like that.' He rubs the spot where he was hit, 'He doesn't hit like that either. Those were not metal bones' Sabertooth thought. His vision begins to clear up but what he sees shocks him, "You're just a kid?" Sabertooth says with a shocked expression.
"Maybe, but a kid that's kicking your sorry ass" he says with a cocky grin as he gets into a fighting stance.
Sabertooth growls "Listen you little twerp I don't have time for this so why don't you make like a tree and get outta here" Sabertooth says angrily.
"Sounds to me like you're chicken" The youngster said grinning.
"GRRRRRRRRR" He growls, "THAT'S IT!" Sabertooth leaps for the youngster only for him to side step resulting with Sabertooth landing face first to the ground.
"Hah well I noticed you have quite a temper" he said just as Sabertooth got right back up to start swinging wildly but sadly nothing connected.
"Hey have you ever done this before?" he said mocking him.
"SHUT UP!" Sabertooth pounces hoping to pin him down but to no avail he dodges once again.
"C'mon you call that an attack?" before he can say anything else Sabertooth closes the gap between them and knees him in the stomach knocking the wind out of him. He then knees him in the face and uppercuts him sending him flying. The boy landed harshly on the wooden floor.
The youngster got up rubbing his chin where he was hit. 'Wow he actually hurt me, let alone hit me all together. That barely ever happens. This might have not been a good idea, but it's still fun.' He takes off his jacket and throws it aside.
He gets back into his stance, ready for the furry man's full onslaught….'furry man? No I gotta come up with something that's catchy if I want to really annoy him' he thought.
Sabertooth started to swipe with his sharp nail claws, most connected ripping up his clothing and opening up a few small cuts. 'Wow he's as fast as me too, I better watch'. He threw a haymaker only for the youngster to duck and come up with a strong uppercut sending him flying. He lands on his feet and jumps right back exchanging blows.
The youngster ducked under another haymaker but this time Sabertooth was prepared and he swept his legs from under him flooring him. Sabertooth tried to stomp the youngster in the chest but he rolled to his feet and sent a kick to Sabertooth's midsection. Sabertooth grabs the boy's leg and returns with his own kick to the midsection and connects. Attempting to take advantage of the situation Sabertooth threw a punch and the boy caught it. Sabertooth throws another one only for that one to be caught too, the youngster pushes him back and Sabertooth returns with a spin kick before he got too far away. Lucky for the youngster he was still too far away or that would have connected.
The youngster throws a hook but Sabertooth blocks it and returns with his own and connects. 'The kid's good but not good enough'. The hook dazzled the boy a little but he brushed it off.
The youngster starts throwing jabs trying to keep the hairy man on his toes, nothing connects. The youngster then notices some Shield Agents coming from behind Sabertooth, luckily the hairy man was too preoccupied at the moment to notice them. The Agents open fire on Sabertooth putting a couple of dozen bullets in him before his body dropped to the floor bleeding out a lot.
'Was that really necessary?' The youngster thought not knowing of Sabertooth's healing factor. But before he could do anything else the Shield agents show up pointing their weapons at him. One of the agents says "Put your hands in the air where I can see them, now!"
'Perfect, a stupid soldier, just what I needed' the youngster thought sarcastically. The boy looks at him with a puzzled expression "Excuse me? I just did your job for you, a thank you would be nice"
"I said put your hands in the air or I shoot!" the Agent says. Some muttering can be heard from the other Agents that would be hard for a normal person to hear but luckily the boy has good hearing.
"He's at it again" said Agent A.
"Why does he always have to make himself look tough at our expense?" said Agent B.
"He's not even being tough, he's just being a dick again" said Agent C.
"I know right" said Agent A.
"Be quiet! I'm in charge here!" said Agent D.
"C'mon Scott don't be such a Dick" said Agent B.
Agent D ignored and focused on the boy again. "Last chance son put him down or I'll put you down what's it gonna be?"
'Did he just call me son? Oh he is so getting bitch slapped when I'm done with this. But if he wants to be retarded that's his problem, plus I don't wanna cause any more trouble' the youngster raises his hands in the air.
It only takes a second for Sabertooth to heal all his wounds and catch his breath, that's all he needs. Before the boy could react Sabertooth gets up with a mean hook and sends the boy flying into the wooden floor.
Before the Agents can shoot him again he is upon them, and takes them out swiftly. "Wow that was easier than I thought it would be." Sabertooth said scratching his head.
Sabertooth turns around just in time to see the boy exiting the hole he made. Sabertooth decides to take advantage and attack. Before the boy can figure out what's going on a hairy foot kicks him in the face launching him into a metal pole. 'ooowwwwww' is all the boy can think. This time when the boy gets up he keeps his eyes on Sabertooth but before he can regain his composure he is upon him again. The boy successfully blocked the first two punches but the third connected keeping him unbalanced. Then Sabertooth lifted him up like a bench press and slammed him into the wooden floor breaking right through it creating a new hole.
There was a lot of space where Sabertooth threw the boy so it was difficult to see him, he peaks his head in the hole for a second when two legs come out of the hole and grab him by the neck and slam him hard into the concrete floor below the wood in the hole. 'I knew those cement fillings were here for a good reason' he thought.
The youngster climbs out of the hole before the hairy man can snare him within the hole like he did. Sabertooth jumps out with a big bruise on his forehead and a very angry face.
"You will pay for that with your life boy!" Sabertooth said with hatred
The youngster grins, "Ok hair-ball, try this one on for size. Hyaaahhh!" The youngster jumps and piles kicks on Sabertooth in a bicycle motion as fast as he can before gravity kicks in. Which is right. About. Now. The youngster and Sabertooth fall to the ground.
'Well at least that was better than my last try' the boy picks himself up but so does the hairy man. "What was that?" asked Sabertooth
"It's a move I saw in a movie once, don't quite have the hang of it yet but I'm getting there. Now where were we" they start to exchange punches again when all of a sudden a jet shows up and lands nearby.
The youngster pays no attention but Sabertooth recognizes the vehicle and glares at it. 'I need to get out of here, fast!'
The X-men exit the X-jet ready to fight, "Ok X-men that other guy he needs help with Sabertooth, but keep in mind we don't know who this other chump is so stay sharp." Said Logan.
"Right" said the rest of the team simultaneously.
They come up to where the duo are fighting and what they see up close is….let's just say that they didn't expect Sabertooth to be fighting one on one with a teenager, of course they don't know that he's a teenager.
They all got a good look at him, he was about 6 feet tall, built like a linebacker, and he was wearing all black. Black jeans, black boots and a black shirt to top it all off (don't forget his Leather jacket that he threw aside). He had short black hair that went back in a way that made it look sort of spiky and from what they could see he appeared to have light blue eyes. In Jeans eyes he was a total bad boy and had the moves to back it up. Channeling Kitty Jean had to say that he was like seriously hot.
The facts had not escaped Scott either as his jealousy hits overdrive not that he would ever admit it. If it wasn't bad enough he had Duncan to deal with.
Logan could see Scott tensing up. He may not be a telepath but he knows jealousy when he sees it and Scott has had that issue as it relates to Jean for quite some time.
They all jump in, in their own way. The fight seemed more or less one-sided and didn't seem like it was going to last much longer. The dark haired youngster could keep up but not for long.
Evan shoots some spikes but forgets that the other guy is close so Kurt teleports to the dark haired youngster and teleports him out of the way.
"Whoa what are you guys?" he asked.
"Vhell explain later, let's take care of Sabertooth" Kurt said.
'Sabertooth huh? I'll remember that' the youngster thought to himself.
Logan unsheathes his claws "He's mine!" said Logan
Sabertooth throws a right hook, Logan blocks it. Then he throws a left hook, Logan blocks that too. Logan then jumps forward thrusting his claws into Sabertooth's chest to the point where they're sticking out a little bit from his back, "AAAAAHHHHHHHHH" he yelled.
Sabertooth grabs Logan's hands, removes them from his chest, then he headbutt him and slashes his chest leaving four slash marks.
The dark haired youngster watches as Logan heals his wounds instantly. 'Whoa, I knew I healed fast but damn!'
Scott shoots Sabertooth with an optic blast from behind knocking him towards Logan who punches him right back. Jean then grabs Sabertooth midair with her telekinesis and slams him down to the floor, Evan was about to throw some spikes to pin him down when the dark haired youngster jumps and lands a solid hard kick to Sabertooth's face knocking him out.
The dark haired youngster picks up his leather jacket and puts it back on before turning to the crowd standing a few feet away from him. They begin to approach.
'Ok let's see. They're all dressed weird, they all seem to be different like me in a way, but they're all staring at me like I'm Justin Bieber, wait hold up…don't fans scream when they see Justin Bieber? I think I was hit harder in the head than I thought. I'll just play it by ear.'
They stop right in front of him.
"Dude you totally rock man, you just kicked Sabertooth's butt." Evan said, the rest of the group glares at him to shut up for now and leave the pleasantries for later.
"Um thanks?" The Dark haired youngster said not knowing what else to say at this point.
"So what's your story bub?" Logan asked.
"No story, I just saw him" he points to Sabertooth, "on the news and I wanted to stop him from hurting anybody." the Dark haired youngster admitted.
"Let me ask you something kid, do you have a special ability like us here?" Logan gestures to the group standing behind him.
"Well yes and no." the Dark haired youngster said with a puzzled face.
"Explain" Logan said.
"Well you could say that I was born a little different from all the other kids, I'm stronger, faster, smarter, and more agile, more or less an improved human being." the dark haired youngster said.
"So you are a mutant?" Kurt asked.
"What's a mutant?" The dark haired youngster asked.
"Mutants are humans that are born a little differently than the majority of humanity. They are born with what we label the x-gene. It is the key to the evolutionary process that is currently taking place amongst the human race. It tends to become activated during periods of stress, most commonly puberty. Once active the gene precipitates the sudden development of what can be extraordinary gifts of varying abilities." Said Jean in a fast pace.
The Dark haired youngster is more surprised about how fast she said that more than what she said.
"Way to go all nerdy on us Jean." Evan said giggling at her nerdy speech.
Jean glares at him, "I am not nerdy, I'm just….it's just that…Hugh!" she gets annoyed and looks the other way folding her arms over her chest. Evan and Kurt continue to giggle while Scott is getting even more pissed off. He realizes that this guy probably got a reaction out of her, not good for Scott's chances.
"Well I guess I am a mutant in that case. So what do I call you guys?" he asked.
"I'm Logan" he brings out his hand and the boy shakes it.
"I'm Scott" he said hiding his anger while bringing his hand out, the boy shakes it.
"I'm Kurt" he holds out his three fingered hand, the dark haired youngster looks at it and shakes it with enthusiasm and say "cool fur" Kurt smiles at the comment.
"I'm Evan" he shakes his hand.
The beautiful red head holds her hand out and says "Hi I'm Jean"
He takes the hand gently and says "nice to meet you"
"And you are?" she asked.
The dark haired youngster smiles and says "You can call me Dean"
