Switched Loyalties Chapter 7
Well, things are getting better slowly for the X-Men as Kurt recuperates and heals frequently visiting Hank, most of the X-Men are still worried about Dairou's whereabouts and the mysterious occurrence of a new group of mutants, who call themselves The Shadow Movement. They hold a grudge against everyone, human and mutant alike, even though they themselves are mutants, extraordinarily powerful ones at that.
Elsewhere, near Bayville High, some Shadow Movement supporters were having a protest against Senator Kelly, who bitterly hates them and will do anything to stop their actions against humans and they'd had enough. Dairou passes by the commotion, in the direction of Xavier's Institute after talking with Beast 4 days earlier, when they turned on him thinking he supported Senator Kelly.
"Hey, there one of Kelly's supporters there, let's get 'im!" a male mutant says as he shoots a fireball at Dairou's feet, making him stop and look in their direction with a frown and somewhat evil look in his red eyes. "You! You're one Kelly's henchmen sent to get rid of us again, aren't ya?!" another man said more than asked, only for Dairou to answer firmly with a slight hint of anger that left a bad taste in his mouth "No, I'm just a passer-by…" he turns to walk away only to glare evilly at the man who shot fireballs at his feet "…I wouldn't advise you to do that again." This angers them as they all prepare to attack and Dairou, to defend himself, only for a man dressed in black and armed to the teeth with weapons of all sorts (mainly really big guns) steps between them taking aim at the group about to attack Dairou.
"Hey! Didn't you hear the man?!" The stranger growls in an almost calm tone at the Shadow Movement mutants. They seem to have met him before and back away glaring at the two. Dairou looks at the stranger silently for a moment, he seems to know this man though he can't quite recall from where "Who're you supposed to be and why help me?" Dairou asks as he passes the stranger who answer "Who? Me?" he asks in fake confusion which slightly amuses Dairou "I'm Daniel Silver, but everyone calls me Trigger" the man says revealing his blue eyes and anime-style spiky white hair he then points at the X-Men symbol on Dairou's belt "You a fan of the X-Men too?" he smiles stupidly which makes the man raise an eyebrow and smirk "No, I'm a member, I can talk to someone if you want to join". The man shakes his head "Hmm, I'll think about."
Dairou shrugs and continues to the X-Mansion then enters. Coming into the main floor, he sees Beast and Kurt. Kurt flinches instantly when Dairou appears, not knowing if to be angry or sad at the moment.
"Well well, I won't forgive you that easy, Dairou" says Kurt as Dairou who replies "I don't expect you to, but I do have a gift for ya." Kurt seems intrigued "A gift?" he says with a raised eyebrow. "I'll make you a unique sword like no other and teach you how to wield it. How about that?" Dairou smiles as Hank cuts in "But…,why so sudden?"
Dairou gets serious turning to Hank "I get the feeling that we'll have more than a Human/Mutant war on our hands… they are on the move." Suddenly Victor walks in, not far behind Professor X "Who is 'they' exactly?"
"I saw some of them on my way here, threatening to kill Senator Kelly, before they just turned to attacking me instead. They're mutants who call themselves 'the Shadow Movement' and attack anyone without mercy weather you are a mutant or human."
"We'd need to prepare, surely they must have a reason, Dairou" Xavier adds as Dairou shakes his head "Maybe…, but they're not gonna just reveal their plans so easily knowing they'd be opposed by the Brotherhood or X-Men, wait a second, Vic, where's your low-life of a brother?" "He must've left when he knew you'd be comin' back." says Victor.
Meanwhile in a location unknown, a man smiles evilly from the shadows as faces of several X-Men and Brotherhood of Evil member appear on a large screen before stopping on Dairou's face, the man studies the face well as other X-Men members appear.
"Hmm, so the monster is still alive, is he?" The man smirks at a bound and gagged Wolverine "No matter…,he won't be for long when he comes looking for me"
A/N – Not much time to update, since I don't have my own computer (yet). But you'll never know what to expect from a new enemy that is eerily familiar to Dairou.
