Switched Loyalties II – The Forbidden Swords Chapter 7

Odion stops at a ship and Kurt, who wasn't paying attention, bumps into him but he only glances back with a calm smile before deactivating the invisibility cloak on his ship.

Odion steps inside and tosses Logan on a bed but Kurt, reluctantly remains outside as Odion raised an eyebrow "Hey, you comin' in or is my ship that pretty?" Kurt replies "It is pretty nice."

"Get in here before I change my mind" Odion growls slightly but composes himself, if he scared the young man he'd never gain his trust but he hated his patience being tried as Kurt nodded and entered, sitting beside Odion and laying on his arm as he flew the ship.

"Poor boy" Odion thought glancing at him before his anger bubbled "Wolverine will regret hurting the boy if it's the last thing I do!"

Odion flew for a few minutes before making it to his destination, still in Germany before deciding to knock Logan out again and wake Kurt.

"Hey, get up. We're here." Odion flicks Kurt's forehead as he blinked a few time to force himself awake to see a large, not-so-extravagant but very big house as his eyes widen "Wow."

"You like?" Odion chuckles "Make yourself at home and eat whatever you want. You'll need it." He said as he carried Wolverine away.

"At least show me around first?" Kurt asks as Odion tilts his head and looks at him "Show yourself around, I'm not in the mood" he replied before disappearing through the house.

Kurt did as he was told and walked around, there was a TV in the living room that seemed seldom use despite the satellite connection, but he eventually found the kitchen which was packed with food "No wonder where Dairou got his appetite from." Kurt thought before grabbing some salad and going to watch television.

Odion walked out a while later as silent as a lamb to find that Kurt had finished eating and fell asleep thought this was no time to be sleeping as his touch startled him as much as his red stare did "Kurt-san, when was the last time you had a good night's sleep?" He asks taking a seat beside him as he thought for a moment before answering "I don't know. Is Logan alright?"

"He's fine, for now." Odion says looking at him intensely "Why're you so interested in that Gaijin?" Kurt seemed confused by the last word as Odion sighs "Gaijin is Japanese for outsider, why didn't you tell the X-Men what he did?"

"I tried to but he hurt me every time when Dairou and Sabretooth weren't in the mansion" Kurt cried as Odion held him "Dairou never wanted him in the mansion, I persuaded him to let him stay!"

There was a voice from the other room "Kurt!" Logan seemed awake and wanted the young man, Odion's eyes widen as his hair stood on end as Logan stumbled out and grabbed Kurt "You remember what I told ya I'd do if ya ratted on me, right bub?" His grip tightened the more Kurt moved and he didn't even notice Odion standing there.

Logan turns to Odion who was fuming "You! Who the hell are you and where the fuck am I?!" Logan actually thought Odion feared him but he knew no fear and it was quite the opposite as Odion backhands him in the face "Kurt, go to my room and close the door, block your ears and shut your eyes, my name's on the door, go!" Odion growled as Kurt took off.

Kurt enters the room, got under the bed and did as instructed. As for Odion, he growled as Logan said "You'll regret that dearly, Dairou?!" He attacked and Odion grabs him with a demented smile "Greetings, Logan-san. I'm Odion, Dairou's father and I WILL NOT be anywhere near as lenient with you as he was!"

Odion choke slams Wolverine on the couch, splitting it in half before dragging him down to his dungeon for further punishment and chaining him to a wall. The chains and cell bars were made of Adamantium and especially for him.

Odion returned to his room and dragged Kurt out "Listen good because I'll say it only once and I hate repeating myself, STAY AWAY from the Wolverine or I'll cut all your limbs off, very slowly and painfully, GOT THAT?!" Odion snarls as Kurt nods.

Odion puts him down and Kurt follows him to a special room as he asks "Where is this?" and Odion replies gruffly "You'll find out soon enough. Now sit down and do as I do."


Kurt and Odion sat across from each other and meditated first as it calms Odion and Wolverine struggled in his restraints feverishly to get back to hurt Kurt and get even with Odion, both of which will never happen. As for Dairou, Darius and Sabretooth, they'd long left Germany, but the brothers as well as Sabretooth, a bit couldn't help but worry for Kurt.

I sat in the back of the ship with Darius as Victor flew the ship. We were all silent and Sabretooth was beginning to worry about me as he activates auto-pilot and sits with us.

"What're you thinking, Dai?" he asks, although he probably already knew I wanted to kill Wolverine so badly it hurt as I replied "That look in my father's eyes could only mean one thing, he wants to punish someone, namely Wolverine but why'd he take Kurt?" Sabretooth shrugged "I wouldn't know; he's not my dad."

Darius looks at me "You know as well as I do, he wants to train Nightcrawler like he did us. Turn him into a killer." I looked at him "You're only half-right, I saw his eyes and he won't let Kurt be a killer or know about what he has planned for Weapon X."

Darius shrugs and looks away "Whatever, if you say so." We were on our way to England to retrieve a sword there but I still couldn't help but think my father actually cared for Kurt and would train him, despite being more interested in punishing Logan without Kurt's knowledge. Unlike me, he'll find my father not to be the type to be lenient of the type of things he's done or very merciful.

Odion and Kurt were still where we left them as they got to their feet.

"Tell me, Kurt-san, what weapon do you think you'd like to weild?" Odion smiled revealing several sharp and very dangerous weapons as Kurt replied "That one, mister Odion." He pointed at the pirate's swords.

Odion nods and pulls them out, handing them to him "Now show me what my son has taught you."

Kurt looked around as he followed Odion to the fighting area "How big is zis place?" he asks himself as Odion replied "Big. So don't get lost." They stopped in the training area, it wasn't as teched-out as the Danger Room but he was fine with it.

"Can I rest first?" Kurt fake yawns as Odion drew a sword and bore a slightly mad grin "No. Prove to me that you deserve it first!" He got into a fighting stance as Kurt sighs and attacks and Odion blocks the frontal assault "Sloppy and very predictable."

As he countered with a cross slash, Kurt teleports and attacks from behind as Odion ducks as Kurt asks "Do you hate your sons or something?" and Odion shakes his head "No. Why'd you think that?" He smirked "I love my sons, it's the company they keep I have a problem with. The X-Men are of no concern to me, but I can't trust Creed-sama and your new friend, Logan-san." Odion stops and bows as he pulls out a chocolate bar but Kurt seems suspicious "Eat it, you've earned and haven't eaten in days, I'm sure."

"Yeah" Kurt says suspiciously "Dairou has a twisted idea of putting laxative or worse in my food" Odion grins "Don't waste your time, cuz if I want you dead" He swings a concealed dagger in his wrist as Kurt dodges barely as Odion bares a feral grin "I'd rather cut you to pieces than poison you."

Kurt shrugs "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I guess." He eats the whole thing then passes out into Odion's arms as he grins "I did put some sleeping pills in it though, you'll thank me later for the rest but it's the only way I can keep you from seeing what I have planned for the runt. Besides, you need the rest anyway." He chuckled evilly as he took Kurt to his own bedroom that he went to when he hid from Logan and puts him in bed.

Back with Dairou, Darius and Sabretooth, Dairou felt guilty for whatever Kurt must be going through with his father and it bothers Yang-Dairou that he may lose his prey to Odion, something he'd never let happen as the make it to the location of the sword of Earth in Greece.

I stand in a large citadel alone in a museum, it seemed only right that since we were in such a huge city we'd split up to cover more ground to find the sword.

I had a feeling someone familiar, very familiar was watching us...


Sabretooth was in the forested areas around Greece as he didn't want to spook the humans and Darius looked around the city, they kept in contact via communicators but Omega Red was stalking Sabretooth although only one thing was on his mind – Revenge against Dairou.

I pulled out my communicator and called Darius on a secure channel "Darius?" He then growls "I haven't found it yet, Dairou. What do you want?"

"What's your problem?" I retorted "Are you still angry at our father? If you are, don't take it out on me and thanks." He pauses for a moment before answering me "Thanks for what?"

"Well" I rolled my eyes "I know you weren't quite keen on helping me, so you have my thanks and apology for what happened in China" Darius went silent for a while before answering "Yeah, I'm still worried about the kid and our father though" and I replied "Took the words right out of my mouth."

I hung up and called Victor, who decided to stay clear of the humans who may judge him for his feral appearance...something I can identify with and I guess makes me the same as Sabretooth and Wolverine in many ways since we've seen the dark sides of both mutants and humans alike.

"Victor?" I said over the phone as Victor replies gruffly "Yeah?"

Find anything? I asked as he replied simply "No, but I get the idea that isn't all you want."

I hesitated slightly before asking "Tell me, you argue with me that I'm such a loner, but you always go off alone when we're in crowds of people." I could hear him bite his lip "I can't lose control again...I just don't like crowds or people brushing against me too much."

"Neither do I, but-" I said but he cuts me off "But nothing, you don't have claws for fingernails!" he growled "Claws that can cut through flesh like cold ice-cream-"

I heard a sound like he was having a fight of some kind "You okay, Creed?!" I shouted but heard nothing.


Sabretooth was attacked by an individual who revealed himself to be Omega Red and though he wasn't Omega Red's main target, the men had always held a grudge for one another.

Omega Red pulls Sabretooth closer and lifts him up to look at his face "Sabretooth" Omega Red grins wickedly as Creed remained silent as he phone was away from him with Dairou still on the line.

"Tell me, feral boy" Omega Red frowns "Where's the blue kid and that resident psychopath Dairou?" Dairou's eyes widen as he listened.

"I didn't come with him, but I'd heard he's in the city" Sabretooth said with a psycho grin as he kicked Omega Red in the face and he stumbles back dropping him "but I'm glad yer here, Dairou ain't the only one who wants to punish you and I won't mind sacrificing myself to the animal within me just this once to do so." Sabretooth got to his feet and lengthened his fangs and claws.

Omega Red picks up the phone by his feet and answered "You heard me, red-eye?!" He snarled "I want you and your blue leprechaun DEAD!"

Somehow that was also sent to Darius' phone to my knowledge as we made our separate ways to Sabretooth's location as the signal went dead. I meet up with Darius and we nod to each other as we made our way through the forest until we saw them come into view and he throws Sabretooth aside and charges at me punching me in the face. I flew through several trees, each one hurt as hell but I rarely ever feel pain.

My yang persona takes over and Sabretooth became cautious for good reason, my persona switches never usually bothered him noticeably on any other occasion but this wasn't any other occasion as I stepped out to where they were as Sabretooth was very worried as he said "D-dairou, yer pupils are gone."

I didn't register anything as I made two swords out of thin air and said in a monotone voice "You have no idea what you've awakened, Omega Red. I...will...-" He interrupted me as he spread his arms and smiled evilly "You'll what?! Kill me?"

I pulled him closer with a psycho grin "Well I was going to do that, but you made a few mistakes. One, Kurt isn't with me but he is alive and with my father, an even more powerful and ill-tempered man than me and two, you've picked to wrong day to fuck with me! By the way, I was going to kill you but now you'd be lucky if there's anything left and I'll NEVER stop!" I swung my sword at him and somehow I missed...I never miss and won't again as he ran in fear and I followed as no one else concerned me now.


Odion was training Kurt in pirate-styled sword fighting, when he felt a strange sensation that Dairou was fighting against his darker side...and losing.

Odion was now fighting Kurt at full strength, despite not doing so when they started and Kurt was now holding his own against him as he smiled "Good, take a break." Kurt stopped as he caught his breath and grinned "Am I doing good?" Odion frowned and nodded before looking out the window as he muttered to himself "Son..."

"Kurt-san." He said as Kurt looked at him "Rest and we'll go find Dairou and Darius, but promise me you'll stay here for now." Kurt nodded "I will." Odion smiled as he thought "Good. Very good. Now...time to play, James 'Logan' Howlette" with a wicked grin and a dark look in his eye as he goes to Logan.

Speaking of Logan, he was awake and wanted nothing more than Kurt and especially his freedom as he fought he restraints and growled loudly "Kurt!" Kurt knew nothing of what Odion was up to, but still felt sorry for the feral as he tried to keep his mind occupied with watching tv as he decided to try ignoring Logan's calls for him.

Logan called out "Dairou!" only to hear a laugh and Odion coming toward him "Dairou's very far from here, poor little thing" he said with an absolute lack of concern "and you are my new plaything who should stay away from Kurt like a plague for his own sake."

"You can't keep him from me fer long, bub" Logan's eyes widen when Odion reveals a knife with a pure adamantium blade with a grin as Logan gulped as Logan shook his head and Odion nodded.

"There's a hole in yer plans, though and as soon as Kurt hears my screams he'll come running!" Logan says as Odion raised an eyebrow "Really, now?" he asks "I'm not that stupid and this entire place in virtually soundproof. So scream all you want cuz he could not hear it even if he was right outside the door. You'll soon regret having a healing factor; bub and this one will be quick!"

He begin slicing through Logan's flesh as he writhes and cries out in pain, which makes Odion even happier. After hours, he stops and chokes Logan "Now be a good little feral, even look at Kurt the wrong way and I'm make our little session here last a week straight, do I make myself clear?!" He lets go of Logan who was crying "Anything, just make it stop...please." He pleaded.

Odion kissed his forehead and looked him in the eye "I'll NEVER stop and I already hate you so there'll be no such thing as mercy coming from me. Kurt's more deserving of my mercy and he's the only reason you're still alive" He gave Logan some clothes that were his size and they went to Kurt.

When they get to him, Odion leaves him alone with Kurt in the living room and Logan, being afraid of what Odion might do to him stays away from Kurt without speaking or looking at him. He doesn't want Kurt to know he was crying, despite his voice still shaking as he asked "A-are you okay?"

Kurt comes over and hugs Logan who breaks down "P-please forgive me, I don't wanna stay here anymore." Kurt is surprised as he's never seen Logan cry before ever and only nods despite not being sure what he agreed to.

Odion returns and the two are apart like they'd never touched as Logan ignored Kurt and kept his emotions in check, especially his anger. "We should go, like right now." Odion says "I'm worried about Dairou."

The two follow him to his ship and minutes later was over the forests near Greece as Kurt and Logan are surprised by the destruction as they land and meet up with Darius and Sabretooth, both of which almost immediately notice the change in Logan's personality.

Darius noticed the three first and shook Sabretooth "Is that really Wolverine?" Sabretooth's jaw drops as Logan actually doesn't blow his top as usual around either of them "I see it, but I can't believe it."

Odion walks up to them "Where's Dairou?" he asks urgently as Sabretooth pointed at the cleared trees "Look fer Omega Red and you'll find him." Odion nods and disappears "Stay here, all of you."


Back with Dairou, he was still furious and trying to get close to Omega Red, which at this point wasn't happening. Worst of all, his father appears in his way.

"Die, X-Man, DIE ALREADY!" Omega Red charges at me and I grin as that was exactly what I wanted as I charged and replied with a clearly crack-pot insane grin "You first!"

Just as I was about to spill some blood, my father appears between us and growls at me "Stop this meaningless fight, Dairou!" He scolds me as I stared at him oddly, I'm still angry but not deaf "Did you just say a fight was meaningless?" I growled still not believing he actually said what he just said and I was out of patience "Get in my way and I'll meaninglessly kill you too!"

I look over to see Weapon X, he seemed very afraid of my father now as I grinned "And you're next, Wolverine!" He shuddered and I attacked while Omega Red was distracted, severing three of his fingers. I frowned, unimpressed and unsatisfied as he screamed and counter-attacked but I dodged.

My father gets in my way again as I growled "Move or I'll make you move." He backhands Omega Red in the face, knocking him out as he glared at him "Stay out of this." When he looked back at me, his pupils were gone as he grinned "You've never spoken to me like that before, son, but I guess we're like father, like son now! Hehehe!" He laughed as my only response was "I'm nothing like you!"

He starts walking towards me as I glanced at the unconscious Omega Red "Oh, we're two peas in a pod, son. Whether you like it or not!" I fell to my knees, clutching my head before I looked at my father "Last warning, stay out of my way or I'll fuck you up and for the last time, I'M NOTHING LIKE YOU!" I created an energy implosion, engulfing myself and my father and knocking everything else out of the way, while inside we were in a whole other world.

Darius attacks the sort of shield and doesn't even scratch it "Uh Oh" he said getting clear of it and helping Sabretooth get Omega Red clear of it and Sabretooth asked "What do you mean 'uh-oh'?"

Darius narrowed his eyes "Dairou has no chance of winning and we can't stop either of them now." Wolverine grabs Darius and growls "Give us a better explanation, right now."

Darius points at the shield "That shield is the only thing keeping us alive and Dairou's been angry with you for quite a while now and I'd advise you to run. We should all run." Logan puts Darius down and remained silent as Darius kept his eye on him and replies "You seem different..."

Logan backs away from him as Sabretooth agreed, looking at his brother with a raised eyebrow "Yeah, what happened to you, runt?" He glanced at Kurt before pulling the two close and whispering something in his ear.

Sabretooth's eyes widen in rage "What?!"

Darius had the same look "That's something I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy. I'm sure he doesn't know." He looked at Kurt as Logan grunts "He knows nothing. Don't tell him either, Cerulean!"

Darius looks at him "Why would I tell him when I'm trying to forget it right now?" Logan goes and sits far from Kurt as he shook "Please, j-just don't. I have to go back with them and I don't want him to know." Victor sits with his brother "You have my word, he won't know anything yet."

Logan's eyes widen "You misunderstood me..." he growled "...he can't know, EVER! I've only told you two and if he finds out, I'll know and I'll kill you both!" Victor and Darius nod as Darius looks at Kurt and mutters "I feel sorry for both of you."

A/N – Dark Dairou has awakened and he attacks Odion, who will win and what'll happen to Logan? Will Logan tell Kurt what happened between him and Odion or will he take it to his grave?


Logan looks inside the ship and sees the swords Dairou collected as they glowed and almost blinds him "Whatever's gonna happen, these swords being reunited won't end pretty." He retreats to the forest where he stumbles upon Dairou's wife, who wants to kill him as she somehow and adamantium knife and said "You're the one...the one who turned my husband back into a monster!"

Logan dodges and easily disarms her and drags her by her hair "C'mere, sweetheart. I've got a lesson to teach you, one yer mate will never forget." Logan puts his hand over her mouth "Ssh, don't scream just yet. We'll get to know each much better and I have to say yer quite my type" Logan licked her neck and sniffed her as she struggled and pleaded in a muffled voice "You wouldn't...please don't." But Logan pins her in a cave "Oh, I will and stay still or I'll make ya regret it!" Wolverine undresses her slowly.

When Dairou finds out what Logan did, he's more than dead... Kurt is the only one who notices him missing as he has his way with Dairou's wife.
