Sam and I hurried excitedly to the Helix. This was going to be our first mission and we were determined to have fun with our powers. When everyone was onboard, the Helix took off. We landed in a place where no one would see and set out on foot. We stormed into Genomex to rescue some new mutants. Eckhart and most of his top agents had went out for a meeting that Adam had planned in Antarctica. It was very cunning of Adam.
"Adam," said Brennan while we were outside Genomex. "That was very smart of you to trick Eckhart."
"No, it isn't!" we complained. "We wanted to kick some Eckhart butt and also his top agents!"
"Shh!" said Adam. "Okay, now. Shalimar and Sam will go in from the front and Jesse and Alex will go in from the back. Emma and I will go in from the right and Brennan, the left. Once inside, you know what to do. So, Shalimar and Sam and Brennan will take out the guards. Emma and I will shut off the computers and Jesse and Alex will search for the new mutants. Oh yeah, and uh, Alex and Sam, no goofing around."
We all nodded and went our separate ways. Jesse and I followed Adam's instructions and went to the back. We didn't want to break down the door and set off the alarm. I transformed into Jesse, which scared the hell out of him to see himself standing in front of….himself.
"Whaaattt?" I asked. "I wanna be able to phase through the door, too!"
We phased through the door. I transformed into Eckhart while phasing through the door. That startled Jesse, but I assured him it was I by showing him my com-link ring. We looked around. Some guards were standing guard. They saw Jesse and charged toward him but stopped when they saw me. They were confused. I motioned for them to come.
"What is it, sir," they asked me.
"Oh, nothing," I said. "Just this."
Jesse and I hit them both at the same time and knocked them out. We stepped on top of them and gave each other a high-five. I transformed into Shalimar and surprised Jesse again, but he knew it was me.
"Will you stop changing already?" complained Jesse.
"No way," I replied. "It's fun and I get to use new powers."
We continued on. We walked cautiously and were met with a ton of guards when we turned around a corner. They came charging towards us with weapons. I easily kicked them out of their hands and threw some punches and kicks and the guards landed on the floor. Jesse phased through them, then turned around quickly and kicked them in the back while changing his body's density. That made the kicks extra painful for the guards. I picked one the guards by his shirt collar.
"Tell me where the new mutants are locked away," I told him in a threatening voice. "Or you will find out the real meaning of pain!"
"N…no…never!" groaned the guard.
I held up my fist ready to pound his face into the ground. "Tell me!"
"Uh, they're in…." I held my fist higher and tightened my grip on him. "They're in the basement!"
"Okay!" I said cheerfully and got up. The guard blew a sigh of relief but then I hit his head and knocked him out. Jesse smiled and shook his head in disbelief.
When we started in search of the others. We found Shalimar, Brennan and Sam after a while kicking some butt. Sam was freezing any guard coming her way. So they were like frozen Popsicles and barbeque if Sam decided to use fire. Brennan was electrocuting the guards and also attacking them. Shalimar punched the guards in the stomach and kicked them. She jumped up over the guards' heads and struck them from behind. I changed into Sam and froze some guards. Jesse went mass and charged into the guards.
When all the guards were down, we used the elevator and went down into the basement. We found the new mutants locked up in a big cell. Brennan used his electricity to pick the locks and released them and sent to the safe house. Adam and Emma met us later outside at the Helix. We boarded the Helix and went back to the Sanctuary. This was our first mission and we loved it. We couldn't wait until our next mission.
