A/N: I can't make any promises about long, wholesome chapters, or that I
can continue this story at all. I am not a professional. However, I do
expect to finish. I intend to finish with many short chapters rather than
a few long ones. Also, I am very open to criticism and suggestions for
future publications. By all means, share your thoughts. I highly
appreciate input and suggestions (thank you, GiniaTM. Keep it up!). To
everyone, keep in mind that as the author, I have the final say in what
happens. Input does not guarantee that I will publish it.
Enjoy! ____________________________________________________________________________ __
Xavier, back at the Mansion, called a meeting about the Sentinel. "It looked like it was sitting in a warehouse or in some kind of storage for several years," recalled Xavier, "and it looked like very poor quality. What do you think, Scott?"
"Probably, Hulk didn't destroy the last Sentinel," Logan cut in. "In fact, maybe there are a lot of them that nobody knew about except for Dr. Trask himself."
"Yes, perhaps you are right Logan," responded Charles getting a worried look. "However, if that is true, why did he start now, with a poor quality Sentinel?"
Kitty said, "Like, why are we getting into all of this anyway? I mean, it was just like one Sentinel. Besides, it was built poorly and we flattened it without breaking a sweat."
"Look, Half-Pint," Logan retorted. "You may not understand this because you're a rookie, but just because it seems weak at first, you still treat it seriously. The sentinels can regroup, act as recon for more powerful enemies, and it can always be upgraded or surprise you with unexpected weaponry. Think about it this way: just because it is small, that doesn't mean that it is powerless. If you can remember that, you will last a whole lot longer."
"Just like me, metal face," Kitty sneered.
"Ooh, I'm just shakin' in my shoes, Junior."
"Cut it out, you two," Charles said, "Logan is right. I think that we need to find out much information. Chris, I have a mission for you...."

"Exodus, what have you found?" barked Magneto.
"I-it seems severely old and rusted."
Magneto rolled his eyes. "Tell me something I don't know. Get me useful information!" He paused, and the room was silent. "What are you waiting for? Get back to work!"
"Wait, I think I've found something!" exclaimed Exodus. "It seems that there is a rip in the time/space continuum. [explain, elaborate]"
"Could Trask build something like that and return to our day and age?" Magneto wondered aloud.
"That has yet to be confirmed, but I think that there is a stronger inventor at hand. It could be possibly a mutant him or herself."
"Now, why would a mutant do something like that to his own kind?"
"I told you, I haven't found enough information yet. Maybe they were just testing it on Mutants. Maybe it was apocalypse testing out a tracking device. Maybe it was a lot of things."
"It couldn't have been Rama Tut. I made sure of his defeat personally," Magnus boasted.
"With all of his power, I wouldn't doubt that he is still alive somehow," said Exodus. "If he was behind this, then he may want to take revenge on the mutants that tried to kill him. But that possibility still leaves the question of why he sent a lower quality Sentinel to attack."
Magneto was upset that Exodus was right, not only because everyone in the world human and mutant world could be a danger, but his boasting was now proven wrong. "Well, why don't you find out for sure, so that we can take precautions and warn the rest of the world? Get back to work!" shouted Magneto.
Exodus continued his work. ____________________________________________________________________________ __ A/N: I will only post up chapters if at least 5 different people read and review my story. The idea is that I really want people to read and review my story, and give honest feedback, be it good or bad. Suggestions are welcome.
