Disclaimer: I don't own any part of the marvel franchise.
This is my first fan fic so go easy one me. I'm not a hard core fan of X- Men, I just like it. I write with what information I know, and some that I presume. This story is not set in any time frame.
Golden was an orphaned at the age of 2 when both his parents died in a car crash. Golden had been in the car, but was unhurt. As a boy of 12 Golden was unliked by one person in his class at school. Once while being teased Golden had a sudden outbreak of anger and almost killed the other boy. He was shunned away by his foster parents and forced to live alone in the cold. But one day a girl, a girl who called herself Siphon, who was the same age as him, became his friend. Month's later Siphon approached Golden and told him of a person she had met, a man with bladed arms who wanted to help them. So they followed this man far away until they came to a came to a wooden fort. The man told them it would be their new home. And it was. He stayed there for years, until one day his life was changed.
Golden Flare walked slowly down the hall. His toes were cold from the metal flooring. The events of the day were streaming through his head. He stopped for a moment and listened. He heard the voice of Skewer shouting. As Golden continued down the hall he slowed his steps so that it would take longer to arrive at the command room. He came to the big crystal door labeled "COMMAND". He could still hear Skewer's shouts. He was complaining about a perimeter breach that happened earlier that day.
Golden remembered it vividly, the shadow that had no body. He was on watch with his friend Siphon. Golden and Siphon were never far from each other; they had been best friends since childhood. "Flares, look down there. A shadow." Siphon pointed down to a shadow followed by green fumes that was meters from the wall and advancing.
"What do you think it is Siphon?" Golden Flare was half-asleep after three hours of a boring watch.
"Obviously it's a mutant, dummy." Siphon was used to Goldens slow thinking. They both watched as the shadow walked into the wall. Golden turned around and looked down to see if the shadow had walked through the wall. "It's gone!"
"Not yet Siphon, things don't just disappear." Golden scanned the ground for a sign of the shadow person.
"Golden, that's extremely apparent. Our guard shift is over, let some one else handle it." Siphon turned on her heel and walked down the rampart towards the elevator back to the base level. Golden took one last look around to see if he could spot the shadow before following her to the elevator.
It was a somewhat scary moment for Golden. There was a person who had entered the base unharmed. It seemed almost impossible. They had many defense mechanisms to protect the base. Heat detector shockers and motion detector paralyzing guns. Golden Flare looked again at the big crystal door. He flinched as his hand motioned toward the control panel to open the door. His hands were millimeters away from the numbered panel when he stopped, and thought through the scene again to get his story straight. He then entered his code 6734, and the door opened. Everyone in the room fell silent as they stared at Golden. Golden Flare had no idea why they were acting so strange as he entered and sat down at the "round table". Skewer knew it was awfully evident how dumb the idea of the round table was when he always had to be better than everyone is. He sat in a glorious grand silver chair.
"Golden, are you alright?" Skewer said seeming very concerned about what happened. Golden looked over at Siphon who was looking back with a big grin. Golden knew again that Siphon had set him up to be battered with questions. Siphon liked to tease people using her power to ignore them. She could pick out certain sounds and focus solely on them, ignoring all other sounds completely.
"I don't know what Siphon told you Skewer, but I am perfectly fine. The shadow disappeared and didn't even touch us." Golden tried hard to be believable. He did remember a slight tingling sensation. He thought nothing of it.
"Ah Golden, we figured out that the shadow person is really Dimness. She has the power to turn things to shadow and only shadow." Skewer was now being his normal smug self. Golden thought about this. He had remembered looking in a database and seeing Dimness' name in it. She was a former member of this base. She disappeared without a trace. Skewer had always believed she had lost control of her power. He knew the capabilities Dimness had.
Golden Flare was feeling somewhat confused. Had Dimness come back or had she become a mercenary hired to destroy them? He looked around the table. First at Siphon on his left, her mind was obviously on other matters. Her foot-long purple dyed hair lay across her face. She wore the customary spandex uniform also colored mostly purple. He looked further around the table to Intensite. Intensite like all the other members, besides Siphon, refused to wear spandex. He preferred to wear a black trench coat and a black pair or pants and shirt. He sat there quietly like usual always focussed about the task at hand. Further around the table he saw Skewer's accusing eyes waiting for an answer. Skewer was well built and wore army cloths most of the time. It made him feel like more of a commander, despite his daggered elbows and knees. Next to him sat Bliss, she never talked but always sat with a smile. She liked to wear tank tops and a skirt. Everyone believed she was a mutant but no one could find out what her ability was. She would never tell. Next to her sat Phreek who had something very important on his mind or would have said something by now. Golden finally got the nerve to say, "What do you want me to do?"
Skewer seemed to know exactly what he was going to say. "Everyone, I want you to keep an eye out for Dimness. She is tricky and scheming, but above all she's stealthy and almost impossible to spot. Pay close attention and don't let your guard down. That is all, you are dismissed."
Bliss watched closely, as Golden got up and walked out through the large crystal door is his bare feet. Siphon got up quickly and shimmied after him. Everyone else still sat at the table silently. Bliss knew it was up to her to find Dimness. With a smile Bliss hoped out of her chair and pranced out of the room. Bliss did not mind the metal flooring on her bare feet. She regularly walked bare foot, Golden did not. Bliss skipped and hoped down the hall towards her room. Her toes clicked on the metal flooring. She got to her room and stopped. In order to enter a person's personal room you had to speak a pass-code. So Bliss popped the cover off the control box next to her door. Inside she found a small red button clustered by wires. She pressed the button softly and the door slid open. Before entering she stopped. Only for a second though, but long enough to take a quick thought about herself. She herself didn't know what her ability was, but the computer said she had one. She then skipped into her room and slid the door shut.
Intensite rose from his seat and walked over to the training room. This room had been closely copied to be like the one the official X-Men had, only it had more capabilities than theirs. Intesite logged into the computer, each person had different training styles so they each had their own accounts to specify on the thing they needed to train. Intensite turned the difficulty dial to level 4 of 10 and the training area to Jurassic.
Intesite stepped into the training room, and using his ability formed a long spear, a bright blue physic weapon. He stepped forward and looked around for the dinosaurs he was set to destroy. He heard one, and he charged forward and shouted as he swiped the spear to tear down the bush in front of him. A raptor was standing on the other side of the now demolished bush. It screeched and jumped high in the air towards Intensite. He waited until the raptor was in striking range before slashing out his spear at the raptor. The spear blade cut a large slit into the almost completely real raptor. Blood rushed from the gash as the raptor fell to the ground and disintegrated. The spear faded from Intensite's hands and a pulsating crossbow took its place. The crossbow and spear were two of Intensite's favorite weapons, and the crossbow had infinite bolts. Intensite twisted around and shot approximately 20 bolts into a small berry bush. A puddle of blood formed out under the bush before it disintegrated. Intensite was getting bored of killing these dinosaurs, and left the training room.
After leaving the "round table" Skewer was enormously tired so he went back to his quarters to take a nap. He jumped into his bed and curled into his blanket, but at the same time a large "rip" could be heard. He soon realized that once again being careless he had ripped his sheets with his blades. He got out of bed and replaced the sheets wildly upset.
Golden Flare shared a room with Siphon. When Golden arrived at his quarters he was surprised to see that Siphon was already there. She was already sleeping soundly in bed. Golden walked quietly over to his bed on the other side of the room and lay down to sleep.
In the morning they all met again at the "round table" for their morning commands. "Golden, you will be with Bliss on an exterior look out." Golden was almost shocked to hear he was going on an exterior watch. No one ever did exterior watches. "Siphon, you'll be with Intensite on an inside base patrol. Phreek you get to work the computers while I look for Dimness."
Golden and Bliss set out together to the exterior watchtower. It was tall and made of living plants. Rosa, who constructed the tower was once part of the base, but she left after she married a co-worker. First Bliss climbed the ladder made of ivy and Golden followed far behind. The ivy was thin and cut into Golden's right hand, causing it to bleed slightly. When he got to the top he searched for the first aid case to help aid his wound. He found it and sat down. Golden pulled the first aid box onto his lap then slowly raised the lid. Green fumes gushed from within the first aid kit, Golden tried not to inhale but he did. Seconds later he had passed out.
He awoke with Bliss slapping his face with her hand. When Golden awoke he was going to ask her what happened but he realized quickly that was pointless. He tried to sit up but a devastating pulse of pain rushed into Golden's head causing him to collapse back down to the floor. Bliss gave him a very disappointed look before sitting cross-legged beside him.
Skewer knew Dimness quite well before she left. And if he knew her well, which he thought he did, he knew exactly were she would go. Her old quarters. He ran down to Bliss's quarters, stopping precisely in front of the door. Skewer shouted "BLISSTER" into the control panel, hoping to get a response. He had no clue how Bliss had set her pass-code; he only knew what it was. He slammed his fist disappointedly on the door. After trying the code a few more times he gave up and headed back to the command room.
Siphon and Intensite walked through the inner storage facilities. They stored all of the historical information on the X-Men there. Siphon would have loved to join the X-Men, but with a power like hers she would be a great hindrance. Siphon and Intensite never talked much. Only when needed. Intensite was always too focused on his fighting skills and Siphon only ever wanted to have fun. Siphon bent over to tie her shoe, motioning Intensite to continue. When he had turned the corner, Siphon thrusted herself up and ran the opposite direction. She did this all too often while on guard duty with Intensite. Intensite looked around and noticed Siphon had disappeared. He was not worried and continued to search the storage facilities. Intensite came to the "Information on X-Counter" storage house. He was anxious to look inside. He walked to the lock and whispered, "REDFOX". The door slid open quietly. As it was opening Intensite heard a loud splash of water from inside. He took to steps in before his foot stepped in a large gooey green puddle of water. Intensite reached over the puddle to the mop. He paused before taking up the mop, because the green puddle was rising from the ground at a rapid pace. He stepped back out of the puddle to not get in the way of its expansion. Intensite looked more closely now and noticed a that the slime was turning into a human figure. Its nose was somewhat big and bulky and his arms short and stout. Intensite readied his pulsating spear.
The strange person gave Intensite a strange grin. "'allo, the name's Stator." Precisely after uttering these words Stator made a large right hand swing at Intensites face. Intensite ducked and kicked out Stator legs causing him to tumble to the floor. Intensite stood up and pointed his bright spear to Stator's neck. Stator gave a quick smile before he disintegrated into a green puff of smoke that sailed out the door.
"Oh shit we're in real trouble now." Intensite realized now that Dimness had not come alone. Intensite shut the storage door and ran back to base as fast as he could. He smashed through the command door and shouted "Phreek! Dimness didn't come alone! I just had a fight with a man named Stator."
"Let me check the data banks." Phreek could type amazingly fast. "No one named Stator ever existed. Or at least not ever registered in any database."
