Chapter 10
The Final Battle- I
"If you don't mind, may I ask you something, Ma'am?" A big question had been spinning in Claudine's one of most trusted assistants, Dr. Wilson's mind since they sent their new prisoner into that cellar.
"I can read your puny mind already but still, mouth the question, John." Claudine swiveled her chair side to side with a sinister smirk.
"I just want to know why you've kept your biggest and perhaps, most powerful enemy in that small cellar where one of his old friends and X-01've already been thrown into. It doesn't even have CCTVs. I mean, what if he tried to-"
"Escape?" Claudine completed the question for the stumpy man. She gave a side smirk before getting up. She picked a small, round, glass paperweight from her desk and revolved it between her manicured index finger and thumb.
"Well I have three reasons to keep him breathing in my little, dark square. First, the obvious one, I want to see him scream in agony everyday when we are going to run our knives on that little monster in his fake wife's womb. Second, there's absolutely nothing in this world that can break through that Vibranium door. Even the boy cannot help him until our device's controlling him. Now third and the final one, his new reality has jounced him to his core. He's admitted he's not the man anymore he used to be. "She turned to Wilson and smiled wickedly." Then what is out there he would want to go out for?"
Wilson smiled back. "You're right, Ma'am. His decampment is completely impossible. He can never break out of-" his sentence was cut off by a beeping message on the tab in his hand. His eyebrows touched each other as he read it.
"What is it, John?" Claudine raised a brow.
"M-Ma'am, the device on X-01 had abruptly stopped responding."
"Wh-" before Claudine could possess this newly found piece of information, all the alarms of her headquarters began echoing in the air.
"Prisoners on abscondment. I repeat, prisoners on abscondment."
Claudine's breath caught in her throat.
"Helena, reveal the escapees." Claudine baffledly commanded her facility's artificial intelligence which in next second, showed her biggest and now 'free' enemy standing on her grounds with two other slaves of hers on the big, flat computer screen fixed to the wall.
"Urghhh!" Claudine threw the paperweight at the screen with a purely frustrated roar. "It can't happen, IT JUST CANNOT HAPPEN !"
Now, she turned her furious glare to Wilson. "Get the helicopter ready and send the Reavers down there to take care of them!"

With another slashed throat, Logan and his little gang entered a narrow passage that lead them to a wooden door 'Storeroom' was written on but Logan and Caliban, both could smell living bodies behind it.
One claw into the lock and the door opened without a hesitance. The trio's eyes bulged out as they stepped in Claudine's personal, vast hell. There were hundreds of big, cylindrical, glass tubes containing cloned mutants attached to every colossal wall. Logan walked over and narrowed his eyes at some faces. All of them were breathing through strange Oxygen masks around their mouths. He tried to recognized them. He was sure he'd seen two of them years ago.
Logan turned to Caliban. "Are they all-"
"Yes. They're all alive but in comatose state."
"Until that Cruella De Vil has a purpose to wake'em up." Nathan muttered from behind.
Caliban caught the look on Logan's face. "What's on your mind, my friend?"
Logan shook his head. "I'm not gonna let that bitch play with all those lives like she did with mine and Marie's. That's why," he took a step ahead. "I want you and the boy to go and save Marie, and I'm gonna save these people."
"But Logan-"
"We have no time, guys." he growled. "You both gotta hurry."
Caliban finally had to nod to Logan's stubbornness and hurried out of the room with Nathan. Now, Logan exhaled sharply before hurrying over to a big desk in the middle of the room. There was a touch screen computer on it. He started it and clicked on various icons. He finally found the file that had all the information about Claudine's every cloned mutant. Just as his index finger reached to awake all the sleeping bodies-
"Hello, Mr. Ex Howlett." a familiar voice from behind caused Logan's jaw to tighten. His smell was disturbingly strange this time.
"Came back from the pieces, Donny boy?" Logan turned around with a killer glare.
"Had to, for finishing an unfinished business." With a nasty smirk, Pierce revealed his weapon for his battle against Logan tonight, something that widened Logan's eyes.
"Remember these?" he smirked again as he unsheathed the ancient Muramasa Katana. "We picked'em up from your little hideout in Mexico. I've heard there are only two of them in the world. Able to kill any healing factor in the world right?" he ran his index on the sharp edge. "Let's put that statement to the test."
With the end of the damn sentence, Donald and his men ran at Logan. The furious feral snarled with a sharp snikt. The battle finally begins. All the goons pounced at Logan together but his eager claws defended himself successfully, ripping throats after throats furthermore. One long jump through the air and Logan's shining blades left three gashes at Pierce's left cheek. But much to Logan's bewilderment, the agonizing cuts couldn't move Donald even a damn inch. His eyes broadened when he saw shining steel under the bloody slits.
"You can't kill a machine, old man." Donald smirked wickedly before fixing a damn solid uppercut to Logan's chin and sending him high flying in the air.

Claudine and her men hastily entered the lab where they'd kept Marie's unconscious body. She reached the small touch screen tab on Wall and untied Marie's wrists and legs. "Now hurry, pick her up in your arms and follow me!" she barked at one of her guards.
The man nodded and hurried ahead but before he could even touch Marie, he was suddenly lifted up in the air and tossed against the wall behind Claudine.
"Going somewhere?" Caliban and Nathan walked in smirkingly.
Claudine gritted her teeth. "Keeping you both living was my biggest mistake!" Her snarl was a command for her men to jump forward and finish Logan's little minions but just as they stormed towards them, Nathan lifted all of them and threw them at Claudine but using her own telekinesis, she hung the wriggling bunch of men in the air. Both telekinetic forces battling each other in the air until Claudine overpowered the little boy and threw the cluster of her people at Caliban and Nathan. They all fell flat on the ground as a tangled mass of bodies.
"Did you really think you could stop the great Ms. Sinister?" she widened her arms with a shitty laugh. Now, Time for plan B. She hastily walked to the same screen on the wall to activate the controlling device of Marie she'd deactivated to keep her unconscious. Through a simple voice command, Marie would follow her out of the building without a damn question. She smirked at the thought and extended her hand towards the screen but freaking hell, as her forefinger touched the screen, a burning red laser beam blasted it off. She yelped in great pain.
"I will not let you turn another life into a goddamn weapon of yours!" Nathan snarled as he got up and fired another optic blast at her but she successfully avoided by ducking down as her healing factor kicked in and fired her own concussive blasts at the boy. Both shooting lethal energy beams at each other until her eyes suddenly turned burning red like Sinister's. Now she was shooting blasts from her eyes and her hands began tossing all the stuff of room at Nathan. The little boy's mind was now divided in attacking and defending himself at the same time. His little distraction bought Claudine a golden chance to pick him up in the air and throw him against the wall behind him. She kept throwing his baffled body against wall to wall until he passed out.
She walked over to the fainted brat. She took a gun out of her back pocket. She loaded it with some strange looking bullets."
"Do you know what these bullets are made of? They're made of the ancient iron of other Muramasa sword we'd obtained from your friend Logan's little castle. I've especially prepared them for all the trouble makers of my life like you." she smirked and aimed the gun at him but before she could pull the damn trigger, her eyes and mouth widened in shock filled agony. Her face turned pale white and veiny. A weak gasp came out of her quivering mouth before she sunk to the floor whimperingly.
"Ah I hate people who try ta hurt children." Marie's chest was heaving in anger. She finally closed her eyes and deactivated her powers.

"You're right bub." Logan laughed wiping the dying streak of blood off the corner of his mouth. "I cannot kill a machine." he shot back to his feet and snapped his neck with a metallic hiss. Wolverine's presence took over Logan's pupils this time. "But I can definitely make it break down." a predatory smirk on his lips.
"Oh yeah?" Pierce gave another shitty smirk. "Let's put that statement to a test too."
Just as the same mocking sentence left his mouth, his men once again lunged at Logan but this time he decided to make his little bonds his biggest weapon. He gripped his Vibranium shackles still wrapped around his wrists in his solid grasps and started raining skin stripping whiplashes over all those goddamn walking metal boxes. Donald's goons weren't even being able to touch the infuriated feral. His claws leaving the bigger damage to their internal parts and wirings. One by one, Pierce's every man was tasting the ground. He needed to stop the feral at any cost. He signaled his remaining gang to encircle Logan. They all leapt at him together but Logan ducked down on one knee at the right time and twirled around, cutting all the metal legs in one swift spin but holy shit, just as he shot back to his feet, Donald drove his goddamn sword through the left side of Logan's midsection from behind. A weak, painful gasp left Logan's quivering lips.
"Did I pass the test?" Pierce grinned wickedly at his victory but that stupid grin couldn't stay on his face for long. a shocked agony took over his face as a clawed hand was shoved through his stomach. A stream of grease mixed with red, blood like fluid flew out of the enormous hole as his broken wires and circuits hung outside.
"Nope, you've got an F." a familiar, smirking voice tossed the wasted steel aside. Now, it turned its attention to the wounded feral.
"You okay, Jimmy boy?"
Logan turned around with a painful look in his eyes but the pain turned into a solid shock as he saw the man who was standing before him. His brother, his own fucking badass brother from another mother, was standing in front of him in his ever-green glory. Even the scent was the same. How's that fucking possible?
"V-Victor?"
"Surprise, surprise." man, his sense of humor is still intact.
"Well that was one hell of a surprise." Logan smirked weakly.
"Oh that's nothing in comparison with what's gonna burst in within next..." suddenly a bloody body of one of Claudine's guards was 'fly-kicked' in through the open door. "5 seconds."
Logan couldn't trust his vision again when his little baby girl he'd met every single night in his dreams since he opened his eyes in this body stormed in with a snarl.
"L-Laura?"

Claudine's eyes snapped open as the healing process returned her drained energy. She checked her surroundings. Nothing but her men's unconscious bodies scattered all over the floor. She barely got back to her feet and hurried out to reach the roof. Her chopper was ready. Her guards surged forward to hold her staggering body.
"Start the copter." she growled as she hastily grabbed her seat.
"Yes, Ma'am." Her pilot nodded.
"Wilson," she called her assistant. "Awake X-24.2"

Who's up for an a$$ whooping fight between 'X-24.2' and our favorite Daddy & Daughter in the world? Just a little wait ;-}
