Evil Truths Revealed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. James
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James walked down the halls of the Boston office of Paladin Technologies. For all his time at the company, he had hidden his background with ease. No one, not even the mutants at his branch, suspected that he was from Genosha, and that he was behind the latest secret project there. Paladin Techonologies was the only company where he could get some of the technology they needed. Now all he had to do was find one mutant. He had made a deal with the ninja group, 'The Hand', to capture the mutant he wanted. He was surprised when they had called him saying they had done so. When he arrived to pick the girl up, the place was in disarray, and she was gone. He was mad. Now he had to find the girl again. He was so lost in thought, he walked into someone and dropped all his papers. Soon a voice said, "I'm sorry, we'll help you pick up your papers."

He got down to help the two who were there. The woman was a young brunette with long hair. The guy had brown hair and glasses. They must have been from two of the other branches. As they started picking up papers, he said, "Thank you very much. Just some of the items I'm working on. Trying to get some new employees." It was a lie, but these two wouldn't know.

He noticed the girl was holding a photo of the mutant he planned to have for the Sentinel. He saw her look at it and say, "Who is this person?"

James looked at her and said, "She's a robotic genius. I saw her picture online and decided to find her and hire her. My branch is looking into making helper robots, for handicapped people." He noticed the man was smiling. Maybe that lie had been convincing, since the company was into helping people.

The man handed over the rest of the papers and said, "Sounds reasonable. All the branches have different projects in the works. I wonder what the head of the company would say."

James smiled and said, "He'd probably want to be there when the first robot is finished. We know the robots will be very helpful to people and mutants alike." He knew the help would be eliminating mutants, but he wasn't going to say that yet. Besides, if the head of the company caught word of the illegal project, he might shut it down. He made sure all his stuff was together and then said, "Well, I must be off to the big meeting. I'll see you there."

He turned and headed into the meeting room. His cover hadn't been blown, but it came very close. He almost jumped when he heard a voice say, "Mr. Johnson. How are you?"

He faced the man calling him and saw Mr. Otonashi, the head of the branch in Japan. He smiled and said, "Good day, Mr. Otonashi. How has the two months been?" He wasn't concerned but he knew that Mr. Otonashi had known he went to Japan, but he never told him why he came there. "Any clue on the big reason for the meeting?":

He was surprised when Mr. Otonashi said, "Indeed. Mr. Cale is planning to hand the company over to his cousin. I'm one of the few people who know. This meeting is to tie up some loose ends." James started to worry again. He wondered if his plan was going to be undone.

II. Godiva
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Godiva watched the man enter the meeting room. She waited until he was in there and turned to Rich. "Rich, he had a picture of Jubilee. You know she's not a robotics expert. What was that man going on about?"

Rich turned to face her and said, "Godiva, there has been some strange stuff happening at one of the branches, and something that happened two months ago is linked to it. Two months ago, Jubilee was kidnapped while we were in Japan. Over the past two months, I was searching into things, with the help of a friend I made in Japan. I've been keeping in touch with him. It took time, but we figured it out."

Godiva was stunned at this, but nodded. "What's been going on?"

Rich had a grim look on his face as he said, "Apparently, that man is actually from Genosha, and is working on creating a new type of Sentinel. He plans to use Jubilee as the power source. I have odd things in the report about his branch. I needed to find out if I'm right, and it looks more like I am."

Godiva took it all in, but was shocked. She knew how dangerous Sentinels were. They were a danger to everything. She also knew Rich was the only mutant who ever stood near one without being threatened. She also remember the town's view on Sentinels. She looked at Rich and said, "If this project ever gets launched, it will ruin the family. We can't let it happen."

She saw Rich nod to some security men and said, "It won't. Those gentlemen will take of the problem, when I tell them to." Godiva realized that Rich had a plan. She then smiled as Rich said, "Now, let's go to the meeting. It's time to handle things." She nodded and they started into the room.

As they entered the room, she watched as everyone stood, and one man said, "Attention, this meeting of the executives will now commence." She could see the shocked look on the face of the man they ran into in the hall.

Richard motioned for them to sit down and said, "Be seated all. We have a few things to discuss here before we move on with the main reason we are all here. First of all, there is notice about some complains from our branch in Orange County, California. Mr. Foster, what is the issue?"

She watched as a middle age gentleman stood and said, "Mr. Cale, it's about the two people staying at the one apartment at our branch. I know you set it so they can stay there, or at any branch, but the man is handful."

Godiva saw Rich nod and say, "Consider yourself fortunate that the girl is there. He is crazy, but don't give into his act. He only got my respect when he earned it. Besides, I owe those two, which leads us to another issue."

She then saw a Japanese man stand and say, "Does this relate to what happened two months back?" When Rich nodded, the man said, "How does it relate?"

She watched as Rich opened a computer file, that showed on the big screen in the room. He then said, "Within the past few months, there are several inconsistencies in the reports. Apparently, one branch has been purchasing alot of materials. Those used in robot construction. Now, as Mr. Otonashi knows, I was in Japan, with some students of mine, and one of them was kidnapped. Luckily they were rescued, but through some investigating, I found out it was a Genoshian project. Appearently, a new breed of Sentinel will be using a mutant as it's power source. A mutant this person is still trying to capture."

She saw the man they ran into in the hall stand up and say, "That's preposterous. Who would do something like that?"

She watched as Rich looked at the man and said, "You would. You have the photo of the student of mine who was kidnapped. You said she was a robotic expert. She's my student. You have been working on an illegal project. Mr. Johnson, you will no longer be in charge of the branch you are in. You will be placed under arrest."

Godiva could tell Mr. Johnson was fuming, and the authoritizes were starting to enter. She saw Mr. Johnson stand up and say, "Damn your mutant loving hide. You're a shame to all normal people." As if to punctuate his statement, he grab the walking stick of another member and hurled it like a javalin. It happened so fast that Godiva couldn't react in time.

She saw a grin on his face and then noticed Rich had raised his hand. The grin had faded in utter shock as Rich waved his hand and the cane fell to pieces. She saw that Rich's hand now resembled Yvette's when she used her power. Rich just look at Mr. Johnson as the authorites grabbed him and said, "To whomever owned that walking stick, I'll pay for the replacement. Will someone take Mr. Johnson out of here."

When Mr. Johnson was out of the room, Rich said, "Now, I'm sorry for that little scene, but if you didn't already know, I am a mutant. I have always strived to do what is best for all, just as all who preceded me in this position. Unfortunately, I am not best in the business sense. Hense, I have decided to turn over control of the company to my cousin, Godiva. She will handle the important business issues. I will still own the company, but my attention will be eleswhere. Now, she will speak with you." She watched Rich step back, and motioned for her to step up to the podium.

Godiva looked out at the people and said, "I don't have much to say right now, however I am honored to help out this company. I know this company is for helping people , and improving the cost of life for people in general. I hope to live up to keeping this company to the dream it was made for." She was amazed as every gave her a standing ovation. She felt that she was making the right choice.

III. D.O.A.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D.O.A. lead the rest of the hellions into the planning room. Emplate had wanted all of the hellions in the room for this. He was amazed that Emplate had kept these three for so long. Of course, the kidnapped girls, as well as his new magic powers, helped in that task. D.O.A. did worry about the fact that lately, Emplate had been abducting only women. Occasionally, he would abduct a mutant, but most of them anymore were women. D.O.A. was getting majorly concerned. As they entered the main room, he heard Emplate say, "Good, you got our little group together. We must plan out our attack for tomorrow morning."

D. looked at Emplate and said, "Not much time for planning. Why in the morning?"

He was surprised when Emplate smiled and said, "That is a very good question, D. It must be in the morning because everyone would be leaving in the afternoon. Besides, everyone will be busy with the wedding. It will be the perfect time to strike." D. knew this was the case. That plan seemed to work. He then heard Emplate say, "We will start by capturing Kyuukai. Once we have her, the rest will fall with ease. Once they are all captured, I will give some to all of you."

D. heard all the hellions cheer, and saw Elane and Freeze Frame smile. They knew something about things. Maybe they were getting a special prize for their part. He then remembered one thing about the school. The X-Men were there, as well as the one who helped stopped them one time, Bishop. D. then said, "Sir, what about Bishop? He's already keeping an eye out for you. He's gonna be gunning for you, and even most of us."

He then heard Elane say, "Bishop is not aware of the full extent of Marius' new power. He doesn't even know about Freeze Frame. Also, none of them are ready for an attack." He had to admit, she had a point on that one.

D. remembered the main part of the plan, the capture of Kyuukai. He also knew all the psi's were watching her. He looked at Emplate and said, "Sir, what about all the psi's? They will know that we are coming, especially if we go after Kyuukai."

He felt Emplate staring at him, and saw him smile. It was still odd seeing Emplate smile. Emplate then said, "D.O.A., lets speak for a moment, in private." He nodded slowly and followed Emplate out of the room. He started to wonder if he was in trouble, as he followed, and hoped he wasn't.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Marius
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marius watched as D.O.A. followed him out fo the room. As they walked, Marius said, "You are worried about the psi's. I tell you they will be no problem." He didn't see D's concern lift and said, "Once we capture Kyuukai, I will use her power on every psi. The backwash will force everyone to disable all the psi's, meaning, Emma, Chamber, M, Jean Gray, and Prof. X. will be out of it."

He still saw D.O.A. was nervous as he said, "Yea, but not all the psi's will be affected. Richard and Yvette won't be affected." He realized the root of the matter.

Marius looked at D.O.A. and said, "Listen, Donald." He saw D.O.A. looked shocked for a minute. He had only first use D's first name when they first met. He then said, "You remember the first time we met. You knew I'd kill you in an instant, yet you tried to help me. You offered me a skill you had mastered, due to your mutant ability. I appreciated that, and then when you were about to be a meal, you mentioned your cousin. You remember what you told me about her, right?"

He saw D.O.A. nod and say, "Yes, I remember. I led you to her, saying if you did things right, she'd last you a long time."

Marius smiled and said, "And she was here, for many years, after I killed her parents, and took her in. You even helped care for her, since you were the only one who could touch her. Let's face it D. You were the only one who could handle her, and she never figured it out. She still hasn't" He saw D. smile as he then said, "You miss your cousin, Yvette. I miss her as well, but after tomorrow, she will be back, as well as her dear husband."

As they entered the room he did his spying from, he heard D. say, "I still find it hard to believe she's married. Have you ever spied on them when you spy?"

Marius smiled and said, "The only times I see them is when Monet sees them. That is the only problem with spying through my sister's eyes. However, it may prove useful later." He had to admit that he was surprised that Monet and Angelo were in the same room together. He might have to remember that for a future time. Maybe at a later time, he could blackmail her into helping him after he captured all of Generation X. He then saw she was in the hall, helping set up the wedding. He looked at D and said, "Let's see what we can find out."

He saw D. nod, and soon they heard Monet say, "Sean, where is Emma at? I need to talk with her." He could see Sean walk into view and knew exactly how he would answer. He also wondered why Monet needed to see Emma.

He heard Sean say, "She's with Jean and the Professor, helping Kyuukai. Why did ye need to see her, lass?"

Marius then heard words he didn't want to hear. He heard Monet say, "I think I may need to speak with her about the headaches I've been having lately. I'm hoping it's not related to my seperation from Claudette." Marius knew that wasn't the case, but he also planned to keep watching. The headaches were being cause by his spying. He started to hope that his magic could not be detected psionically. If it could, they would be expecting an attack.
