Omega Attack!

To Descendant: Ooh-kay. Well, I'm glad you like the chapter. Here's some more for you.

To the crow that caws at half past 6: Glad you liked the chapter. I think Razor may get a shot at freeing Ronnie. Will Mike lose it again? Who knows. Here's more for you! Hope you like it!

To Raliena: Glad you love it. Yeah, Descendant did real good when he created Boris. I'm just using him.

To Red Witch: Yeah, Briscoe's a sweetheart. Here's more story for you! Enjoy!

To DemonRogue13: Yeah, typical Pietro. Girls rule the man's mind. He should be satisfied with Val. Huh, guess there's no truly pleasing some people.

To Wizard1: Yeah, I'm surprised the comics never looked at it like that. I mean, there's got o be some people out there who don't like mutants out of envy. Who doesn't want superpowers?

In the last issue of "Omega Attack": Michael Nagrite, the mutant codenamed Omega, underwent a transformation courtesy of Boris the Rat. Boris, who gained the ability to channel mystical power after attacking Selene, used is new talent to transform Omega in the way Bobby Parkins was transformed into Kid Razor. Omega got transformed into a "Heavy Metal" form, complete with long black mane, and organic steel skin and tentacles. Meanwhile, Storm and a freed Wendy managed to capture the other Cavaliers, allowing Betsy to work to free the Cavaliers. Sgt. Briscoe met the injured Brotherhood and they bonded.

"Selene…you've tried to use me in your little scheme. You tried to turn me into an animal. You think of people as nothing but pawns to be used in your little plans and games. I hope you cleared up all your affairs, because when I get through with you, not even an act of God can save you!" A heavy metal-sheathed Omega snarled. His body exploded with the Power of Rock and he made a low flight, charging the Black Queen. His tentacles exploded out of his arm and wrapped around his fists, forming two big heavy metal spikes. "I hope you got my point! HEAVY METAL SPIKES!!!" Mike stabbed and jabbed left and right with the two big spikes. Selene struggled to avoid getting impaled as she dodged the spikes. Razor watched the action.

Oh, the Kid of Rock is starting to get a bad feeling about this. Mike's been transformed by the Power of Rock, and it has made him quite a bit stronger, but it may affect his mind in a bad way. After all, he was never chosen to be the living embodiment of rock. I was. He may be unable to handle the transformation. I hope he can. Mike's powerful. I just hope he's powerful enough.

Amazing! Simply Amazing! Selene thought as she dodged the metal spikes. The Power of Rock transformed Omega in a completely different manner than Razor. Kid Razor doesn't have skin of steel. Perhaps maybe it's because the fact that like myself, Omega is a mutant and Razor is not. Interesting. I'll have to be more careful now. Omega's rage has increased with his power. Perhaps I can use that…Selene had no time to formulate a plan, as Razor descended on her, and hit her hard with a Heavy Metal Punch.

"Mike, we got her on the run!" Razor said.

"Good!" Mike roared. "I'll impale that stupid witch!"

"Look man, just watch yourself. Selene is tricky and you are on the edge, man! Remember, you were never meant to hold the Power of Rock like this, so it may affect your body and mind."

"Whaddaya mean?! I feel great!" Mike whooped.

"You look like you got a slight case of bloodlust, pal." Razor warned. "I saw the way you attacked Selene. You're trying to kill her!"

"Why should she live, Razor! You hate her as much as I do!"

"I know, but killing her might not free Ronnie Rocker. And for sure it won't bring back Betsy. Do you know how old Selene is?"

"Huh?"

"Centuries, man. She's a psychic vampire." Razor sighed. "She can drain the psychic energy from people and use it to maintain her youth. The victims get disintegrated in the process. She's done it for centuries to hundreds, possibly thousands of people. That's how she's been around for so long. No one knows her real origins. I doubt she does." Razor added as a joke. Omega thought about it.

"If we let her live, she's just going to continue playing games with people. She's not repentant." Mike said simply.

"Then we make sure she never wants to play games with us ever again." Razor nodded.

"Right." Omega looked down, but Selene was gone. "Where the %#$ did she go?!" Razor and Mike looked around.

"Up here." A familiar voice purred. A swarm of bats descended on the two Power of Rock-charged heroes. Razor and Mike yelled as they swatted and blasted at the bats.

"I always knew Selene was an old bat, but this is ridiculous!" Razor grumbled.

"I think Wendy, Storm, and Betsy can handle this." Sonic Blue said to X23. Lance, Fred, Wanda, Todd, and Pietro sat with Briscoe near an ambulance, while the people Sonic Blue mentioned were doing their jobs.

"Maybe we should give Kid Razor and Omega a hand, if we know where they are." The Wolverine clone said. Sonic Blue nodded. "Is your armor damaged?"

"Just some dings, scratches, and scrapes. It's tough armor. I've been fixing my armor up and modifying it." Spencer smirked. "It's a hobby."

"How'd you build it?" X asked. "Are you a mutant with an inventing power, like my friend Forge?"

"No, just a normal human born with an IQ of 325." Spencer laughed. "I came from a poor family in Cincinnati. Well, actually, it was just me and my mother. My dad left us when we were kids. I was born with a genius IQ. So, because we lacked the money to go to special schooling, I spent my days in the library, reading everything I could get my hands on. I also used the library's computers to learn about a subject that became an interest to me: Electronics. I also started an e-correspondence with a technician at Stark Enterprises. I learned a lot. When I found out my mother was diagnosed with cancer, I had to raise the money. Out of desperation, I built the first version of the Sonic Blue armor, not as powerful as this one. I turned to crime to get the money needed to treat my mom. I went to Cleveland, and Kid Razor caught me, to make a long story short. I explained my circumstances, and he agreed to help. And the rest is history." Spencer smiled. "Mom beat cancer, I was allowed to use the armor as long as I found a good use for it, and the rest is history. Anyway, they're at the docks. I can take you there." Sonic Blue grabbed X23 and sped off toward the docks.

"Where are they going?" Briscoe asked the Brotherhood.

"Hopefully, only to clean up Selene's remains." Lance said simply.

Well, looks like things are picking up! Can Sonic Blue and X23 lend a hand to Kid Razor and Omega? Can Mike remain in control? Will they be able to stop Selene? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
