Secrets Revealed
&
The Generals of L'Eh
Tommy's Point of View
Ow, my aching head. All I can remember was someone sending me that note, and I blacked out. No. Whenever I black out I…do stuff I'll regret. I started to move a bit a noticed Sharon was laying on top of me. That's right, I remember I was embracing Sharon in the middle of the football field. I guess they know about my transformation. Great, I have a lot of explaining to do now.
"Good morning sleepy head." Sharon said. I guess she was up now.
"You mean evening? It's ten o'clock." I said.
"O yeah, I guess you were out for awhile." Sharon said.
"You mean us. You better get your facts straight girl." I said trying to make her laugh I succeeded. Sharon gave a little chuckle.
"So I guess you know more about my dragon heritage then, huh?" I asked.
"…Yes we know now. We were really frightened when we saw you in the football field. I read everyone's mind, and they were just as afraid as I was. It was like staring at Fear dead on."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to harm anyone." I apologized.
"Don't worry about it. The most you caused was probably a couple of bruises, that's all." Sharon tried to make me feel better, but it didn't work.
"You're probably wondering why I transformed then, right?" I asked.
"Well you were angry weren't you? I guess you transform under serious emotion like that." Sharon pretty much hit the nail on the head. But still far off.
"Yes your right, but from the whole time you knew me, what has really gotten me mad before." This question actually gave Sharon something to think about. I knew the answer she was thinking without reading her mind. Nothing.
"Nothing, from the whole time I knew you, nothing ever got you mad before. Even the ranting Iceman and the others gave you, you just laughed it off."
"True, but I received a note. From a mysterious entity that needs to be put out of his misery." I said with anger.
"We know." Sharon said.
"What?" I asked.
"Scott told Kurt to check out your room to see if anything would lead us to believe why you ran off today. He found a secret compartment with a note inside. We know everything." She said with a little confidence.
"…Not everything. You don't know what your up against, or who sent the letter."
"Well, yeah. But we have an idea where they are. The Professor found a large energy source at the Grand Canyon. Scott and Logan went already to see what they could find." I suddenly sat upright in shock.
"What!" I yelled. "We have to go there and get them back here before something bad happens." Suddenly someone's voice came over the intercom.
"All remaining Mutants, please go to the Training room, immediately."
"That's funny, why would the Professor ask for us to go there. We're the only one's here. Kurt left awhile ago for some school project." Sharon said.
Already I didn't like this. That voice wasn't the Xavier's, it was…
"Who's voice was it Tom?" Sharon asked curiously.
"…Great, I just can't keep anything from you can I?" I asked.
"Nope." She said with a devious, but cute smile.
"…His name was Erutan. He works for Judge. He's a mutant, but has no control over his body, he's like a zombie. Erutan's ability is control over the earth. He has three other accomplices. They are Xero, Blaze, and Zappy. Xero controls water, Blaze control fire, and Zappy controls the wind."
I told Sharon all of this as we made our way to the Training Room.
"Who are these people?" Sharon asked.
"They are the Generals of L'Eh. Judge controls them, and they gather information and quintessence for him. Quintessence is pure energy, he needs that and my powers to complete the process."
"What's that?"
"Complete control. He just needs the quintessence to gain a physical form. With my power, he can immortal." Nothing was said after that. I instructed Sharon to go to the Watch Room, so no harm would come to her.
"No, I'm coming with you. They can't be that hard if you're so calm." I just stood there. There's no way she can comprehend the power they wield, or what I can perform.
"Sharon, if anything were to come of you, I would never forgive myself. I want you to stay clear of danger." I then lifted my right arm and gave her something. She opened her hand to reveal an icy orb.
"Tommy, what is this?" She asked in amazement.
"It's my gift of apology." I answered.
"Apology? Whatever do you…" I stopped her in mid-sentence. I lifted my arm, and Sharon lifted from the ground. Before either of us could say anything, she flew off into the Watch Room, against her will.
"I'm sorry." I said to myself. I then opened the door the Training Room, to await my battle.
