Chapter 3:

The battle was still going hard by the time the rest of the Marauders and Nasty Boys made it to the designated location. From what they could tell Arclight was the only still standing as once more Ruckus had been killed, evidenced by the smoking hole through his chest, while Hairbag was on the ground minus one leg.

"Kill…him…" The bleeding mutant spoke weakly but there was no doubt that despite the weakness, he was still strong enough to carry out that threat.

"Ah shit! Not this again!" Gorgeous George lamented as once more the boy, if he could even call him that, was in the grips of a feral rage.

*At least he isn't bloody meowing!* the tar like mutant thought as already he could tell this was a fight he could do without.

"We capture him alive! No excuses!" Scalphunter ordered as he already assembled a sniper rifle from pieces of his armor.

Ranma despite unleashing his fury on Arclight, who quite frankly was looking more and more bloody, was well aware of the new arrivals.

The reason for his bloody tactics and animalistic fury could be found in Mr. Sinister's attempt to alter his mind. The unexpected mental strike the mad geneticist had caused the portion of him where the cat persona resided to alter itself as a defense mechanism in the face of his tormentors and psychic intrusion.

Like any wounded animal would do in the face of death it fought to survive and to do so it employed everything at its disposal. For even though the Cat persona had no idea what exactly these abilities were, there was an understanding of how they could help.

Though not fully controlling the mutant powers it had been given unwillingly, there was some form of… instinctual knowledge to use the metallic form for added protection and grant him greater strength while using his claws for close quarters and the lighting for long range.

This was by no means a fully unleashed Neko Ranma, proven by the fact that Ranma still knew how to fight with HIS combat style making him hold his own as the battle grew more volatile.

"SON OF BITCH! Just go down already!" Arclight snarled as she slammed her foot into the ground and sent a shockwave of earth towards him. She hoped that this will finally end that bastard's defiance, but she knew that until that did happen, she was not holding out much hope in that.

He responded in kind as he used a revised version of the Bakusai Tenketsu, by placing his hand on the ground and channeling his Ki forward and striking the rupture points in the ground.

*BOOM!*

His own shockwave collided with hers and canceled each other out. Ranma rushed towards her but jumped away when a gun blast almost hit him, he traced it back to a man covered in metal and parts he hadn't seen before.

*Probably another of Sinister's goons.* Ranma thought with anger at mere thought of the man, indeed he would make them all pay.

He was about to move to intercept but wooden vines suddenly sprouted from the ground and entangled his legs.

"That be for Ruckus boyo!" A long black haired man spoke, wearing a blue trench coat and dark clothes underneath and wielding a wooden cane that was pointed at him. This being the plant wielding mutant known as Ramrod.

"Grrr! You're next asshole!" The young mutant snarled heatedly as he slashed the vines, eager to slash, rend and tear into this idiot who stopped him.

"Not likely punk." Another man spoke just as he was suddenly tackled with great force into a nearby wall that caved in as a result.

The enlarged mutant Slab and the Marauder Blockbuster smirked at the results of their work, however their celebration was cut short…

"Moko Takabisha!" as two orbs of golden Ki shot out from the hole.

"Argh!" Slab cried out followed by Blockbuster.

"Oof!"

Both mutants fell back from the unexpected counter attack. Before they could regroup Ranma shoulder tackled Slab hard in the chest with all his super human strength, a sickening crack was heard as the large mutant's sternum broke.

It was then that he was struck several times by some high speed shuriken thrown by Riptide that actually pierced his metallic body.

*Screech!* the horrible sound of metal on metal came loud and clear as they found their mark.

"Son of a…!" Ranma yelled in pain as several of the projectiles embedded themselves into his body despite the durability he gained in his metallic form.

"Ah poor little baby…" The man spoke in mock sympathy "…did that hurt?"

"Motherfucker…"

Ranma muttered darkly as finished pulling out the weapons and grabbed Slab before spinning 3 times and hurling the large mutant at Riptide who was bowled over by the force by which he was thrown.

"Ugh!"

"Did THAT hurt!" Ranma fired back as he stared at the wound.

*Kami that hurt!* the son of Logan thought as he wished he could heal in his metallic form.

Blockbuster got back up and threw a right hook at the teen, though said teen ducked under the lumbering brute and stabbed the man in the elbows with his claws.

*Splurt!*

"AAAHH! MY ARMS!" Blockbuster shouted in agony as he thrashed side to side causing more harm than good as the action served to make his wounds even worse than before.

"Not so tough now huh bastard!" Ranma yelled as he fiercely pulled them out, the swept back curved edge causing more damage to the Marauder and earning more pain filled screams as muscle and bone was now shredded.

Ranma ignored the screams as he then spin kicked Blockbuster away, though losing some agility and speed given his metallic form his strength and endurance more than compensated as the man flew straight into the same hole he made when they tackled him.

"Blind side me will…" he didn't get to finish as a spear of energy exploded next to him.

*BOOM!*

He flew a few feet away and shook the cobwebs out of his head as he turned to glare at a man who wore a black jumpsuit and had a large assortment of harpoons on his back and one in his arms.

*Do all of these bastards have to take pot shots at me?* Ranma thought with much anger as he got to one knee, if fact he almost missed Scrambler try to get a hold of him…keyword almost.

His right leg lashed out with claws extended and racked the stomach of the man whose mutant abilities would hamper his own.

*Splurt!*

"GYAH!" Scrambler fell back as blood flew out of his stomach as the deep cuts let it flow freely.

"If you think I'm letting you take me back to your shithole you can all kiss my ass!" Ranma hissed as the still battle ready fighters began to surround him. Ranma still kept himself ready should the rush him. However fate decided to up the ante once again…

The sounds of jets erupted around the mutants as the Sentinels finally arrived and landed in a circular pattern around them one by one.

"Ah shit! Sentinels! Are you fucking kidding me!" Prism shouted as he and the other villains looked at the imposing machines.

"Why in the Hell are there Sentinels in Japan!" Riptide yelled as he began to spin.

-MUTANT LIFE SIGNS DETECTED… BEGINNING TERMINATION SEQUENCE – All the Sentinels spoke as one. They lifted their arms and from their forearms and shoulders an assortment of miniguns, missile pods, and laser canons appeared.

Ranma summed up the situation perfectly…

"Ah fuck!"

It was at that point all Hell broke loose once again as the gigantic machines fired at all the mutants present.

Ramrod and Prism were the first to fall as a hailstorm of bullets and missiles cut them down to shreds.

"SPREADOUT!" Scalphunter yelled at his team as he assembled more weapons. No easy feat mind you when you are ducking and dodging explosions and gunfire.

*Got to regroup! We are out of our element here!* His military mind screamed at him.

*BOOM!*

"ARGH!" Scalphunter was thrown back by a stray missile he failed to spot in time.

Ranma had to contend with three Sentinels stalking him; military grade bullets pinged of his form leaving scratches and minuscule dents that were starting to add up.

*Shit! I'll be Swiss cheese at this rate!* He thought as he fired off two streams of lighting at the armored behemoths, scorching and slightly melting their armor off.

-WARNING! MUTANT EXHIBITING HIGH VOLTAGE DISCHARGE…COMPENSATING. — With that said all three machines were encased in a violet energy shield that deflected the lighting.

"Ah fuck me!" Ranma yelled as the switched from firing bullets to focusing on laser blasts.

*ZZZZAATTT!*

Multiple explosions went off around him as the laser tore up the ground, those that hit their mark left the areas glowing slightly red from heat.

*At least I haven't melted yet!* He thought, some pain was still present but he ignored it since he needed to concentrate on surviving this onslaught.

"Come on you stupid powers!" Ranma snarled as he shielded his face from incoming fire "…give me something to work with here!" his demand was answered when metal from the debris and spent bullet casings started to rattle and flew towards him.

*CLANG!*

Unfortunately it stuck to HIS metallic body...

"FUCK!" He swore loudly before another laser blast caught him in the chest. Thunder rumbled in the distance as clouds started to gather around the area.

The Marauders were faring just as badly as Ranma since this model of Sentinel were more developed than their previous version.

Harpoon held his weapons of choice in his hands and charged them with energy.

"Harpoon! Throw them here!" Riptide shouted over the blasts.

The Inuit mutant did so as he hurled them at his teammate, once Riptide held them he began to spin at velocities only a tornado could match before he hurled them at the heads of the two Sentinels.

One struck the eye cavity of the mutant killing machine while the second one took the shot in the area where its mouth should be. Seconds later the harpoons shaped energies glowed bright…

*BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Both machines where engulfed in smoke before their headless bodies fell.

"Got you!" Riptide yelled in sadistic glee, while Harpoon simply continued to fight.

Back with Ranma and his fight with the three machines was finally going his way, after having the debris blasted off him he decided that a direct approach was needed and charged in claws at the ready.

"Come on you stupid machines! Time to go that junk pile in the sky!"

The young mutant shouted as he reached the first of his metallic opponents and slashed at its legs. The metal easily gave way as the adamantium laced claws and incredible strength proved to be too much for the armor the Sentinel used.

-WARNING! STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY COMPRIMISED!—

*I hope that translates into 'Oh sweet Kami my legs!'* Ranma thought as he viciously ripped and shredded the insides of the right leg.

The Sentinel quickly moved its left hand to snatch up the young man that was damaging it, despite its considerable size it moved rather fast and nimbly. However Ranma saw it coming and managed to jump over its hand and sunk his claws into the forearm.

Once there he dug in the claws at his feet for added grip as the Sentinel shook its arm in hopes of dislodging him but the design of the claws helped him hold on.

Once it realized that it was not making any progress it stopped and moved to grab him with its free hand, once more failing to catch the boy who had retracted his claws and moved to the laser cannon where he proceeded to grip the sides of the weapon and pull up hard.

*SKREECCHH!*

The stress proved too much and the cannon was torn off, however Ranma saw the other two Sentinels make the choice to destroy the mutant at the cost of the Sentinel he stood on. They aimed and fired a barrage of laser and missile fire regardless of how close he was to the Sentinel who deactivated the energy shield and allowed itself to be hit.

"ARGH!" The barrage destroyed their robotic compatriot and flung him away, shrapnel caused more scrapes and dents on him.

He landed next to Hairbag who was by now too weak to do anything other than make comment.

"Heh…heh…enjoy…flight?" The feral mutant mocked weakly.

Ranma got his wits about and glared at him, he shifted out of his metallic form with some effort, partly because of the damage he incurred and the cat mentality not desiring to relinquish the protection it granted.

"You tell me!" He shouted back as he grabbed the hairy mutant by the sides of his uniform, spun him around and threw him at the two Sentinels stomping towards him.

"AAAAHHH!"

Hairbag's scream didn't affect the mutant hunting machines as one easily swatted him aside with surprising speed and great force.

*CRUNCH!*

Like a puppet whose strings were cut Hairbag landed dead on the ground with most of his bones broken and pulverized. There was no doubt he was dead as the impact alone would have shattered every bone in any being's body unless they had their bones reinforced to the tenth degree…or had adamantium in them.

Ranma made a quick survey of the battle and saw the remaining Marauders and lone Nasty Boy dealing with the rest of the Sentinels. Two of the remaining nine broke away to aid in attacking the youth.

"Shit! Day just keeps getting better and better…" as if in response to his mood it began to rain and the sky boomed and flash with lighting "…Great. I just had to open my damned mouth. Kami I hate it when I get foot and mouth disease."

Ranma finished glumly as he charged the machines that began to fire on him.

"Fuck this man!" Gorgeous George yelled as his powers were less than effective since he could not damage the armor of the machines.

"I agree with him Scalp! Let the damn Sentinels deal with the little bastard!" Arclight shouted over the loud footsteps as she sent another shockwave at the one of the machines.

Scalphunter took stock of the situation, they were down to half their numbers, Harpoon was out of weapons, Riptide's attacks were barely scratching the machines and Arclight was too wounded to be of any use.

*Sinister will have our hides for this…but we have a better chance of living with him than letting the damn machines kill us.*

"Arclight! Riptide! Make a diversion we are pulling out!"

Both mutants nodded and made their moves, Arclight summoned all her remaining strength and slammed her fists hard into the ground causing the ground to quake and crack, Riptide spun quickly and engulfed the Sentinels in debris hoping to block their sight and sensors.

Ranma saw this and cursed since now he had to deal with the deadly machines on his own. The ONLY consolation he was getting was that at least the bastards who Sinister sent after his sorry hide had scrammed.

This prediction proved true since they all turned their attention to him when the remaining mutants successfully fled and since he was the only mutant in sight range, they were all going to go after him.

The youth was not one to back down from a fight but that was when he had some semblance of control with both himself and his opponents. Now however he had an unknown quantity what with the lack of control over his powers and the enemies being sophisticated machines designed for hunting mutants.

"Not going to stop me though…" He said to himself as he ran at them forgoing the protection of his metallic form for speed in his natural one.

The remaining Sentinels fired at the teen with their heavy ordinance, gunfire and explosions engulfed the area as the machines attempted to carry out their primary objective.

Ranma was weaving and dodging as best as he could though some bullets and debris did clip his objective was clear…destroy the machines before they killed him.

Unfortunately his lack of control became a factor once more as his super speed kicked in just as he was a good 20 feet from them.

"SHIIIIIIT!" he yelled as he slammed hard into one of the giant robot's leg.

"UGH!" with a painful grunt he fell back on the ground.

*Oh Kami! At least I didn't snap my neck this time.* Ranma thought through the pain he was in as he spat blood and only blood for which he was thankful. Sadly the Sentinel he crashed into chose to take advantage of this opportunity by reaching down and grabbing him.

The young man grunted in pain as he shifted to his metallic form, this only served to make the Sentinel squeeze harder in an effort to crush him like one would an aluminum can.

"PROCEEDING WITH TERMINATION." The soulless voice of the towering machine spoke with finality.

"Grr…Let me go!" He shouted at the machine as he tried to pry himself loose, as he did this the storm clouds that had been gathering were now growing in intensity and were soon joined by fierce winds and powerful booms of thunder.

Ranma fired several bolts of lightning but the Sentinel activated its energy shields once more. He concentrated on his magnetic abilities but the Sentinel remained unresponsive and even seemed to increase the pressure that his metallic body began to screech from the stress.

*Shit, shit, shit! I can't die here! Not to some fucking machine!* Ranma's mind cried out in defiance that the storm seemed to respond to it.

"WARNING…ATMOSPHERIC ANOMALY DETECTED… MAGNETIC FIELDS IN FLUX…MUTANT TERMINATION NOW PRIORITY ONE." It spoke as it raised the laser cannon to the point at its captive.

"No…No…NOOOOOO!" Ranma shouted as his metallic eyes glowed with a blue electric light...

*KRAAAAAKKOOOMMM!*

As in response to his cry a large bolt of lightning fell and struck the machine dead center, the shields blew the instant it was hit followed by the machine's power being destroyed.

The Sentinel swayed side to side before collapsing with a resounding crash and boom as its body struck the earth.

The other surviving Sentinels paid that no mind; they were focused on the now floating mutant that had destroyed their comrade.

Ranma for his part was gripped in a feral rage as the storm grew in intensity and ferocity, lighting now struck randomly the area and on occasion the Sentinel who were trying to maintain their shields under the barrage. But against this many attacks from pure energy, there was no doubt that while they built for tremendous punishment, they were hardly indestructible.

"TARGETING SYSTEMS DAMAGE…COMPENSATING...REROUTING TO SECONDARY SYSTEMS." They spoke as they raised their laser cannons and began to fire.

Ranma unknowingly formed a magnetic shield that was taking the abuse from the blasts all the while the storm raged.

The continued attack only angered him further until finally the lighting storm he summoned unleashed a massive blast that would make anyone think the wrath of God had come down and smashed hard into whoever had done something to REALLY enrage the deity in question.

*BOOM!*

The last thing the Sentinels saw before their optic sensors exploded from the gigantic electrical and magnetic surge was the mutant they had provoked, if they the capability for it they would have felt regret for ever crossing paths with him along with the chance scream in unholy pain from the massive barrage of energy that slammed into them.

"RARGH!" Ranma screamed out in unbridled fury as the power of the blast enveloped him and bright light overtook him.

Two hours later…

The site of the struggle between mutant and machine was reminiscent of the war-torn land of Nagasaki and Hiroshima since all that seemed to remain of the warehouse district were ruins, craters and fires.

From the fallen remains of small abandoned warehouse rubble shifted as something moved underneath.

"Ugh…What…what hit me?" Ranma spoke as he lifted a slab of concrete of his back, despite the dried bloodstains and clothes that were little more than rags, he was unharmed.

The teen got his bearings soon enough and surveyed his surroundings.

"Oh man…" He whispered as he spied all the destruction.

Emergency lights and the gathering of people showed that some time must have passed since the battle.

"What have I done?" He spoke to no one but himself, the shock of seeing the destruction his power unleashed in his fury chilled him to the core.

*What did that maniac turned me into?* He thought as he looked at his unmarred hands which trembled, but whether it was the adrenaline wearing off or perhaps from fear of what he could do when he lost control he did not know.

Those thoughts would have to wait as he saw a chopper heading in his direction, he started to run and for once he was clad his super speed kicked in as he dashed faster than the eye could see. He was in NO mood to be caught and tracked; his family would never find any peace if that happened.

Ranma did not know this yet but the events that unfolded this day would bring him to the notice of many people who would have a vaunted interest in him.

Bayville, Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Two days after the incident…

It was the afternoon, and the students had returned from school to find the adults in the living room gazing at the news, curiosity got the better of them and soon approached to see what had them so transfixed.

Charles Xavier, the world's most powerful telepath, as well as the founder of both the school and the team known as the X-men sensed their approach and paused the images.

"Welcome home children." The professor greeted them warmly, with him stood his friends and fellow instructors.

Ororo Munroe the African weather witch, her white hair shining in the sunlight that filtered into the room, giving an interesting contrast with her dark skin. She looked towards them and favored them with a warm smile.

Hank McCoy, a man whose visage earned him the name Beast, a brilliant mind trapped within a bestial from. He is a combination of knowledge and power as he aids the children as a teacher, healer and confidant. He cheerfully greeted them as they arrived.

Logan, a man gifted with keen senses, a rapid healing factor and a set of indestructible adamantium claws along with his skeleton lined with the same metal alloy, though such a procedure was done without either consent or consequence as it took from him his memories of his past.

Though considered quite the slave driver to the opinion of the New Mutants and the younger X-men, he was tough on them in an effort to better prepare them for a world that viewed them as threats. He did so because that was his way of showing he cared…though he hid that well, he simply gave them a look before turning his attention back to the TV.

The three adults watched over them as if they were their own flesh and blood. For in them they saw the future of humanity and mutankind.

These young men and women who were there to learn to control their gifts, the mutant powers that granted to them by the single X-gene in their DNA makeup. Forever kept apart from the rest of humanity that feared them for what they were: Children of the Atom.

Scott Summers unable to control the powerful optic blasts that was both his gift and curse, with but a mere look he could level a tank which earned him the name Cyclops. He often took the burden of leadership with team, some thought he was too high-strung at times but knew they could count on him to be there for them.

Kurt Wagner, the self-proclaimed "magnificent" Nightcrawler, with the uncanny power of teleportation, agility and balance that would make an Olympic athlete green with envy as well as his demonic looks that forever separated him from his fellow humans.

Jean Grey a mutant with great telepathic and telekinetic abilities that seemed to be ever growing, something that often caused her to fear losing control. Her power was only matched by her beauty, heart and courage.

Storm's nephew, Evan Daniels better known as Spike, able to produce spikes and other sharp instruments from his very bones. A bit of a cocky trouble maker but a loyal friend and teammate.

The young woman known as Rogue with the mutant power of absorbing the memories and powers of anyone she touches, forever preventing her to known the simple joy of a human caress.

Kitty Pride AKA Shadowcat, able to phase trough solid mater like if it wasn't there and often trying to maintain a happy disposition on the team…much to the chagrin of her roommate Rogue.

Also with them were the latest additions to the school the group called the New Mutants.

Robert Drake, also known as Iceman, with the ability to both convert his body into ice as well as manipulate his chosen element, he acts as both the occasional leader and prankster of the group.

Amara Aquilla, Magma to her teammate´s and a powerful pyrokinetic who is able to manipulate fire and lava, she hails from a hidden society in the jungles of Brazil. Often coming off as upstart she acts as a counterbalance to Iceman´s joker like nature.

Sam Guthrie or Cannonball as he is called on occasion, a southern boy with a good heart and a somewhat clumsy nature that sets off his powers which allow him to project a virtually impenetrable and indestructible shield of energy that allows him to fly and plow through virtually anything in his way…whether he means to or not.

Rahne Sinclair, Wolfsbane to friend and foe alike, this Scottish lass was gifted with the ability to shape shift into a both a wolf and hybrid form, though she often struggles to find her balance between the human and animal mentality.

Roberto da Costa, codename Sunspot for his ability to absorb solar energy and convert it for his own use. A slight over achiever but a good friend too many of the residents there…when his temper doesn´t get the better of him.

Ray Crisp, a troubled youth who has earned the name Bezerker for his hair trigger temper, little is known about where he spent his youth and he isn´t about to share with anybody, his power over electricity is similar to his nature wild and untamed.

Jubilation Lee or Jubilee as her close friends often call her is a mutant with the ability to fire off powerful "fireworks" that can serve as more than mere entertainment for the masses, she shares a similar attitude to Kitty with an equal love for the mall.

And finally Jamie Madrox AKA Multiple, a veritable one man army with a kind and care free attitude. Being the youngest member often means he is looked down upon but he takes it in stride and proves himself handy when many are needed to get the job done.

Here in this sanctuary they were all given a chance to live a life as normal as possible, though on those rare occasion the senior students had to go out and defend humanity from mutants who believed their gifts gave them the right to lord over humanity. That along with the normal struggle of normal life, made them live interesting times.

"Hey Professor, is there like something going on?" Kitty asked as she too was curious what had all of them worried.

"As a matter of fact yes Kitty…" Charles replied as he looked at them calmly despite the worry he felt from the news he was watching "…please everyone, have a seat." He spoke as he turned to face the TV once more, the other adults followed suit.

The young men and women did as asked and once all were comfortable the Professor pushed the play button.

They all looked at the devastation on the screen making them wondered what happened to cause such destruction, all located in Nerima, Japan.

-This is Trish Tilby reporting to you live from The Nerima ward in Tokyo, Japan. —

A brunette woman who looked to be in her 20's spoke, behind her could be seen lots of rubble and machinery at work as well as police and government agents.

-As you can see behind me are the ruins of the warehouse district on the outskirts of the ward…- The camera panned the scenery.

-Reports are sketchy but initial studies showed that an unexpected and massive electrical storm appeared from out of nowhere and, for lack of a better word, annihilated the area. However that was later refuted with the latest discoveries, we warn you that the following images we are about to show you are not suitable for younger viewers.—

The next images made the students gasp as they saw two large bodies being carried away, one had been burned badly but there were still patches of unblemished skin. Another set of images showed them a foe they had recently come into contact with, albeit in a non-combat situation, and hoped never to see again.

-As you just witnessed, this seemed to be the sight of battle between mutants and Sentinels, as you may know the UN banned the use of the Sentinels when the U.S first implemented them with the existence of mutants being revealed. –

Stock footage soon appeared and showed the massive Sentinels attacking and killing several people…some of them the age of Jamie and Rahne much to the disgust of many of the students and staff.

The teens cringed at the reminder of the monstrous killing machines. Logan growled when he looked at that, he would have to have a little chat with Fury since the head of SHIELD specifically told them that Trask was in custody. This little stunt in Japan was more than ample proof that Fury may as well just screwed them all over.

-However with the clear gross violation of human rights and millions of dollars' worth of damages the program was seemingly shut down and all participants arrested for crimes against humanity. However as you can see it seems that some did not adhere to this ban.—

Images showed a spokesperson fielding questions on behalf of the Diet could be seen.

-A press release issued by the Japanese government stated that under absolutely no circumstances was the creation of Sentinels neither approved nor funded with the sanction of the Diet or the Emperor himself. This leads many to believe in the existence of dissident factions within the regime, the Japanese government has called for the aid from the UN, Interpol and SHIELD to find and bring the culprits to justice.—

-One thing is certain the growing conflict between humans and mutants as just escalated once more, only time will tell how the world will react from these events. From Nerima, Japan this is Trish Tilby signing off.—

With a click the screen went dark.

"What do you think Professor?" asked Storm with worry clear in her voice.

Charles steeple his fingers as he looked at the situation from every angle possible.

*This is most distressing, Cerebro did not register any new activations from the region so that rules out any newly awaken mutants, but then again it did register a massive energy signature on par with both Storm and Magneto* The Professor thought before he was broken out of his thoughts by Jean's voice.

"Professor?" Storm asked wondering if he was asking himself the same question she did the day she felt something tapping into the flows of nature.

Sighing Xavier shook his head before looking at his surrogate family, now was not the time to speculate and cause needless worry.

"Right now there is nothing we can do about this. We will have to have faith in that this hysteria recesses and cooler head prevail."

"But professor…" Spyke spoke up next to his aunt with some concern in his voice"…In the news they said that those mutants were killed by the Sentinels. Aren't you concerned by that? I mean what if there are guys building some here too?"

Xavier looked at Ethan and the others who shared his opinion, truthfully he was worried as despite assurances by Coronel Fury that all research material had been seized there was no guarantee someone else wouldn't build the machines designed to hunt and eliminate them.

Current events showed as much, they would be have to be cautious with how they operate.

*Erik will more than likely use this to rally more mutants to his cause, we may have to step up the New Mutant's training to better prepare them.* Charles thought before addressing his charges.

"Of course I'm concerned Evan, but right now I also worry about those who fought the Sentinels. For all we know they could have recently awakened their powers or worse lost control of them, let's not forget that some of us had their gifts awaken in a less than stellar manner."

Some in the room shifted nervously while Scott and Rogue shared a look.

Even if Scott had it easier than her with his glasses and visor holding back his power, both lacked control over their abilities, and while Rogue's was more close and personal his was highly destructive.

The Professor saw that his point struck a chord in some of his students and continued speaking

"We all bear a terrible responsibility, not only towards other but towards ourselves. The powers that we have could easily corrupt those that are pray of the fear and hate. Think about Magneto, about his powers; about all the things he could do if he used them for the common good."

He paused, sighing.

"Sadly few will see their power as something more than a way for more power and a means to instill their brand of order."

Ororo looked at her mentor with eyes full of concern, admiration and tenderness. Softly she spoke "Are we going to search for survivors Charles?"

Xavier seemed to consider it.

"I would like nothing more but we wouldn't know where to search, even with Cerebro it may be too difficult. Also the situation in Japan right now is much too dangerous to attempt a rescue mission with so little information. It would be like searching for a grain of sand in the desert. We can only hope that the situation does not escalate further and pray for their safety." Xavier replied while mentally going over possible contingencies should it come to that.

In the snowy peaks near Arrow Rose…

The X-men weren't the only ones to take notice of the situation in Japan as the Master of Magnetism along with his acolytes watched the news feed from a communications console form within their hidden base.

Erik Lensherr or as he called himself now Magneto, took an open interest in the affair.

*Once more the foolish homo sapiens prove how trust worthy they are in the face of extinction, Charles you are a fool to place your trust in them.* Magneto fought as he look at the wreckage that were once Sentinels.

His Acolytes also watched on with varied reactions.

Sabertooth, formerly Victor Creed, Logan's savage rival and former member of the Weapon X program simply saw it as another chance for some…fun with potential victims. With increased strength, a healing factor that could rival Wolverine's as well senses to match he was one foe no one wanted to cross lightly. It only made it worse when one considered the fact that unlike Wolverine, Sabertooth had NO aversion to killing anyone, and actually liked it.

Australian mutant Pyro formerly St. John Allerdyce who was far from anything saintly, was a pyrokinetic who while could not create flames could manipulate them to serve his needs. He thought it would another grand time as far as he was concerned. And the chance to fry some new targets served to make the Pyrokinetic mutant all the more pleased.

Remy LeBeu or Gambit to some who he did not manage to exasperate with his devil may care attitude, just took the situation in stride. He was charging cards with kinetic energy before letting it dissipate. He was no fan of the Sentinels and the chance to use his powers was not too bad an idea.

The melancholy Russian known as both Colossus to his unwanted teammates but to his family he was Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin, simply took the situation in stride. Having been granted the ability to shift into metallic steel form that gifted him great strength and endurance, he was forcibly conscripted into Magneto´s war in order to protect his sister. He would have wanted nothing from Magneto but with his sister's life on the line, he swallowed his morals and ethics to serve the mutant terrorist.

As the transmission finished Magneto was left wondering on the events, obviously more of his people were caught in the war however something puzzled him.

*Where did they come from? My agents haven´t alerted me to any new awakenings in Japan and to take on a Sentinel requires much training to even survive a confrontation...or great power.* Erik thought about the oddness of the situation.

It was at that moment that the console from which they had witnessed the event came to life once more alerting him that one of his agents was calling.

With a mere wave of his hand the call came through.

"Report."

-It´s Destiny.—

Magneto immediately stood at attention, anything the precognitive mutant had to say was always vital to the cause. And he was not going to take any chances since it was his mission to ensure that Mutants would no longer have to hide in fear…damn the consequences to the humans.

"What have you seen?" He asked neutrally prepared to take any and all details conceived however her answered surprised him.

-That´s the problem, my powers tell me the future is in flux…I take it you´ve seen the news?—

"So the incident in Japan is the cause of this…flux?"

-Not the incident, one of the participants. — Destiny replied with a hint of frustration.

"There were no reported survivors."

-None they could find. All I can tell is that one of the participants has caused an upheaval…one I cannot see through.—

That did not sit well with the self proclaimed leader of the mutant race.

"What can you tell me about this individual?" Magneto asks her.

*I will have to see if we have anyone available to investigate the area.* He thought as he mentally went over a list of possible candidates.

-There in lies the problem, whatever it is this person has it is not a mutant power but something else, something that lies within that causes this random probability. It causes overlapping possibilities that I cannot compensate for.—

"Is it threat to us or a possible ally?"

-I don´t know…the scales could be tipped to either side by the choices made. I suggest caution or else you may find yourself on the losing side.—

And with that said she broke off the call.

"Tip the scales either way…" Magneto muttered softly.

"Wha´ now boss?" Gambit asked.

*Dis´ sound like something we outta stay clear of* The Cajun thought as it felt like whatever was coming would spell bad news for someone, and he hoped it wasn´t them.

"We approach this situation cautiously and wait until more facts to come to us." Their leader spoke as he headed to his personal quarters to contact Mystique, she may have already been apprised of the situation but it paid to keep her inform less she get…impulsive again.

He was under no illusion that she still held a grudge against him for the events on asteroid M as well as the incident in the castle and he was not going to even touch the events concerning Rogue or her son Kurt.

*She will eventually see that MY way is what shall ensure the salvation of our people. Or else another lesson will be need to teach her not to defy me once more.* Erik thought as he reached his objective.

Location unknown, time unknown…

Deep in a dark cavernous area a hooded figure could be seen moving through the shadows lit only by the lights the torches hanging off the walls.

The walls seemed to indicate a dry and barren location, possibly Egypt by the hieroglyphs on the walls.

The figure finally stooped in an area surrounded by four statues, a jackal, and eagle, a cat and a crocodile.

"Master I heed your call." The figure spoke as he lowered his hood and reveal a man who looked as if he was a living statue.

"Ozymandias…" A deep and dark voice spoke seemingly from all around the room "…though I slumber I sense stirrings in the world, specifically from the land of Wa."

"Master, I believe the traitor Essex has tipped his hand once more, information suggests several of his men confronted the Sentinels and lost some of their group."

"There is more to this than a pitiful battle with the human´s insignificant machines, the traitor is known for his cunning and treachery. Especially since he is aware of my plans to cull this insignificant world of the pathetic and weak, be they human or mutant only the strong deserve to live under my rule."

"Yours is the way Lord Apocalypse, what would you have me do?" Ozymandias asked of his master.

"Bring me one of his weak underlings; I would know what treachery is afoot. I underestimated the man´s quest for a warrior capable of matching me, in the end his mistake was my boon for my strength remains unmatched and increased." Apocalypse´s voice rang.

"As you can command, shall I begin search for a new set of horsemen?"

"No, the time is not yet upon us. Use the clan or the riders, I shall personally see to it my Horsemen are made ready, now go and do as bid."

"By your leave my lord." With that he placed his hood and left the area making plans to do as his master commanded.

Apocalypse watched from his chamber where he slumber yet staying aware, silently he thought over all the events that had taken place in world and their place in his conquest of the Earth.

"Xavier dreams of a world of coexistence… "

"Magneto seeks to rule over humans… "

"Sinister seeks for a perfect being made to serve him… "

"The Hellfire Club seeks domain over all through guile and subterfuge…"

"Fools…only I am fit to rule over the weak, only the strong shall rule. I shall stand over their ashes in the end; none may deny my rightful place as ruler of this world." The despot spoke with finality.

Three days after the Sentinel battle, Narita Airport.

The Gunshin´s, Konatsu, Happosai and Tofu Ono were all standing outside of the airport. Ranma had his travel pack with him and a sizeable duffel bag over his shoulder.

"Do you have your passport? The doctor's notes for the metal and your age." Nodoka asked as she recalled Tofu giving the boy a detail note that explained the presence of metal plates in his body as well as a case of accelerated aging due to a genetic quirk from his youth.

She fixed the collar of the shirt he wore as she did getting her son to blush at her attention.

Again instead of his trademark Chinese clothing he just wore an ensemble that would help him blend in. In this case he wore black jeans and white sneakers, a red long sleeve shirt and a blue denim jacket.

"That and all the info the Doc´s friend gave us, the Journal so they know what happened to me and your contact info on where the Doc´s friend will have you staying at. By the way you are sure he checks out?" Ranma asked Tofu as he wanted to be careful with his family's safety.

"Trust me you don´t get any safer than a man working for the JSDF, much less a founding member of Big Hero 6." He replied.

"I still can´t believe you actually know Sunfire." Ukyo spoke out loud as the revelation that the man who provided the information and was allowing him into his home was none other the Shiro Yoshida AKA Sunfire leader of Japan´s premier superhero team.

"Oh me and Shiro go way back from our days in college as well as the time I helped heal him after that assassination attempt a couple of years back." Ono replied in a non serious manner.

"Yeah but you could have been a team member." Ranma spoke as he was quite surprised when he told them he turned down membership.

"I get enough adventures when you are involved Ranma. The last thing I need is another set of adventures." The doctor said with a chuckle at the end, earning an embarrassed look from the teen.

"Yeah...still take care of them for me." The boy said while looking at the Grandmaster.

"No worries there my boy..." Happosai spoke up next to the doctor "…between me and this Sunfire fellow you have nothing to fear."

"Thanks you old perv."

"I´m going to miss you Ran-chan." Ukyo spoke as she tried hard not to cry.

"Me too Ucchan, keep an eye on her Konatsu." Ranma said to the cross-dressing Ninja.

"Of course Ranma-sama."

"Well…" He spoke as he hefted his pack on his left shoulder and lifted the duffel bag with his right "…this is it."

"Be safe my son." Nodoka said as she hugged him.

"I will Mom…um; do you want me to tell HIM anything for you?" Ranma sked as they all knew what he meant by him.

"I can´t think of anything at the moment, but perhaps you could ask how he is for me?" His mother asked as the situation was quite frankly beyond her, she never expected to her from her self exiled lover. A part of her hoped there was still a piece of his heart reserved for her.

"Will do, I will see you all again you can count on that." He finally said with confidence many only saw in battle. He soon turned and entered the building, in a few hours he would be in the city where he would possibly gain some insight in his abilities and learn of the man who was his father.

To be continued…

And now the third entry of the Sinister Journal.

The splicing was a success! The subject now has within him the genes that grant the son of Magneto his phenomenal speed. Of course the manner by which he exhibited this could have gone better as the subject nearly escaped.

Upon regaining consciousness the subject immediately tried to escape after Malice foolishly undid the straps before he was taken to his cell. He then experienced a bout of speed that had him rush out of the operating room. Thankfully his inexperienced using such power led to him slamming into a support column at 120 mph and breaking several bones, his neck primarily.

I had him strapped to a reinforced operating table while his healing factor mended the damage, this served to show me that after every operation the subject must be subdued and unconscious to avoid further mishaps as well get more competent assistants.

In any case this showed that the subject CAN survive the procedure, now I had to carefully select the next strands carefully to ensure the perfect balance of offensive and defensive capabilities which shall make him the ultimate weapon.

I have given him speed to go with his fantastic agility, now I had to focus on strength and endurance. For this next stage of the project I selected a young mutant I encountered in Russia, a veritable colossus if you will. His mutation allowed him to transform his body into organic metal.

In order to test the subject's durability and strength I had arrange a "test" to see for myself his viability as a donor. I had Malice simply take over a drunk off the streets, put her behind the wheel of a moderately acceptable car and aimed it at the subject.

It was quite the sight to see the vehicle crumple under the impact with his metallic form. Though I have at my disposal several strands that grant superhuman strength and endurance, there is something to be said of his abilities that make him a walking tank.

Pity that Magneto has also taken notice of him, if the information I obtained is accurate he shall be acquiring him soon…shame he would have gone far in my organization. No matter I have all I need.

As I pondered the possibilities how my rather unwilling guinea pig's body would look like transformed I found myself asking if his skeleton should be reinforced as its Father's?

The procedure did show several benefits when coupled with his remarkable healing factor, unbreakable bones that added weight to his blows and claws that could slice through near anything except the metal itself.

However the downsides found were the increase in weight making swimming difficult and the vulnerability to electric and magnetic forces. In my project that would also mean that the subject's enhanced speed may become hampered.

For weeks I went over many numbers and simulations to determine the best course of action until finally the answer came to me in the form of a recent scientific article I found on the net.

It appeared that a formerly isolationist nation known as Wakanda had opened its borders to better interact in the global affairs of the world. I cared little for that useless prattle, no what caught my attention was the mention of one very specific commodity this small spec of dirt had in abundance.

Vibranium, an element with the unique ability to absorb and redistribute kinetic energy.

If I could obtain some of this metal, place it onto my subject's skeletal structure after adding the Adamantium… it would most definitely eliminate the stress on his skeleton caused by running at tremendous speeds with the Adamantium alone.

As luck would have it a small shipment of it was being sent to New York, more specifically the Baxter building, home of that team of mutated heroes. I moved quickly and had my people intercept it before it arrived.

They ran into some resistance by way of some man with a fetish for dressing up as a jungle cat. He put them through their paces but they manage to get away with the Vibranium though not without their pride intact.

With another piece of the puzzle secured in one of my hidden bases I paid a visit to my old stomping grounds in weapon X. It is a sad state of affairs how far they have fallen behind in bio weaponry research.

I mean honestly, a clone of Wolverine? They have tried 22 times and all of them failed miserably…amateurs. I will give them credit in altering the genome to create a female version but that is all. Now that Omega Red fellow…his abilities intrigued me I made sure to take a discreet sample for later study.

I made sure that the Adamantium I...liberated would not be traced back here, this is a critical juncture of the project, and I simply cannot allow myself to be sidetracked by a gaggle of morally inclined do gooders.

The procedure will have 2 stages with a week of rest between them, first coat his skeleton with the Adamantium, and secondly latticework's of Vibranium except on his claws and finally add the DNA of our Russian friend.

Quite the challenge, but the results will be fascinating, I wonder though…should I use Sea snake or Cobra venom to slow his healing down for it to work? Decisions, decisions.

A/N: Well as you can some people have taken notice of our hero some good and most bad, if I can keep your attention then you will see more to come. I will say now that I plan to alter timelines and events in the second season.

Now to this point I have been following and altering the original concept of "The Evolution" story, however I will say that there will come a time when I will break away from so be prepared for that moment.

The X-men and Brotherhood identities are hidden for now despite the evidence that mutants exist. The revelation that mutants exist in Bayville is in the planning stages but I shall confirm that the Sentinels will be involved and our pigtailed friend will have a hand in it.

I am debating with myself just how much of his old life should be allowed into the Evo world, should I make the Kunos mutants? Should I turn Ryoga and Mousse into Reavers? Should Nabiki find out about Ranma's hand in her downfall and join the Hellfire Club for a chance at revenge? Or…dare I say it? Have Kasumi become a Purifier! These questions and much have been going around in my mind, would like to get some feedback from you about what would make good additions to it.

And to answer some reviews.

caffeineandshiny: The Mimic and Rogue DNA is used as a tether to the others X-genes in his body not to copy more power sets, I had Sinister take the advantages of those two and remove the weaknesses.

Yes Logan's reaction will be interesting… (Insert sinister chuckle here.)

PEJP Bengtzone V2: I know this; you know this but does she? Anyway it never occurred in the Evo verse since there was no Ms. Marvel there, even in the future visions was it shown so I am left in a quandary about that.

In regards to the Tendos, I would say bitch and moan would be their normal reaction.

Cardinel: Trust me when I say you are one of my kinder critics and do contribute to my story making. I should warn that sometimes my style will fluctuate so don't be surprised if one chapter feels different than another.

I won't lie to you; there is a possibility, a small one mind you, that I could write a variation of this story in the Mainstream Marvel universe involving the New X-men (Pre-Decimation) and the Young Avengers. NO PROMISES! I don't deal out false hope to anyone, I am not that cruel.

Wonderbee31: Yeah I don't hold out much hope either, it may seem stereotypical of me to bash them but after reading the whole series there were elements about them that always rubbed me the wrong way.

Tentai: Officially this me taking Lu Dragonlord's story The Evolution, and adding my own spin to the tale. Now like I said up until a certain point I will follow it while doing some additional work to it.

This Sinister is no alternate reality version or trying to stop Apocalypse; he simply wants to create the ultimate mutant and sees in Ranma a means to create the perfect enforcer and weapon.

Case in point, Ranma is powerful but where in Lu's story it was because of a single mutant power my story has him wield multiple powers albeit not simultaneously. Like his Apocalypse is partially active yet his presence is known only to Sinister who had previous dealings with him.

Yes the Sentinel appeared in the end of Season two and the Evo crew and mutants were revealed. Both in my and his stories mutants are already revealed but the factions in Bayville remain hidden from public view and yes they are in their teens.

Now I am mixing and matching up elements from X-men lore with the Evo universe since I've notice a growing trend in many fics of both the Crossover and Non-Crossover kind.

Pairings are tricky and it is too early to tell; the current options I can think of are Wanda, Lorna, Jean, Emma, Betsy and Rogue. I don't know if there are more available but I will have to plan this out carefully.

drake202: It is one of the things I am exploring while I write this fic.

That is all for now hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Also I need help in finding a couple of stories that either have been removed or simply ignored, can't remember their names but I would appreciate any info you can provide.

One is a Bleach Time Travel fic, Ichigo and Unohana are cut off mid transit in the Garganta while Yami is fighting Byakuya and Kenpachi. He merges with the Hollow while she merges with her past self; he loses Zangetsu and must now wield Muramasa. Later on Yamamoto appears and makes him the head of the 13 court guard.

Second fic is a Ranma Multi cross most noticeable elements seen are Bleach, Sailor Moon and Negima. Ranma is bonded to a demon. They both break away from the NWC, they have a run in with the Senshi, then the Shinigami and finally Negima crew.

Third story is another Ranma fic where Ranma allows himself to be killed by the crew, while his soul is in the dojo several factions of heaven and hell appear. That is all I know of the story, possible AMG! Involvement.

Hope you can help out, Peace out.
