BOOOM! TWOOOMM! CRASH!

Before I even knew what was happening, an energy wave tore through my room. Turning half of it into dust and fire.

The Shockwave drove me through the wall, rattling my bones and rupturing my organs. My ears were bleeding the same way I was spitting blood from my mouth.

I rose up groggy and faint headed. Bruises and cuts all over my body. I walked out of the demolished room to see a harrowing sight I would never, ever forget. Bodies, so many bodies torn, burnt and roasted. The sick smell of burning flesh in the air, and when my ears slightly healed, I wished they hadn't because the screams were too much. Tears dropped from my eyes and I didn't even know it. Robin was in a pool of blood, exactly half his body missing like it was sliced by a giant sized scalpel.

I walked, ignoring the crying students and the running ones, ignoring the sounds of explosions and groans behind me. I didn't even know where I was walking to, parts of the building had collapsed on others, I felt someone shake me. I didn't respond, then the side of my face sharply stung bringing me back to reality.

"Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!" "David! Wake the fuck up!"another hit across my face and I looked up at an injured Sophie, she was holding onto an unconscious Noriko whose hand loosely hung to the side held by thin flesh and crushed bones.

"Oh God" please help us. "Do something! Don't just fucking stand there!"

I'm supposed to be a hero, what the hell was I doing.

I pushed in me, all the anger all the pent up emotions I had been keeping at bay I let loose. Golden speed force armor constructs formed around me. My lightning changed from red to gold. I grabbed Sophie and Noriko and took them both to the still standing nursery.

I ran faster than I had ever ran, I rushed into the mansion and grabbed everyone, every single student that made up the 2,362 student body. The dead ones and the living ones I took them all to the nursery, I ignored the giant robotic sentinels laying waste to the mansion. I focused on saving everyone. And when that was done, I knew where to turn my anger.

Ripp Crash! The X-men were busily fight against five giant killer robots. "Destroy" "Eliminate" was what they said as they pointed their weapons. And shot beams out of them, as missiles shot out of their fingers and shoulder blades causing massive heat flashes and shock waves to spread through the ground. I ran up their bodies phasing into the control core, I read what was on the screens before I trashed it. My hands dug into the mind cores or the sentinels and I ripped out their very brains. From one frame frozen sentinel to next I ripped it all out. And phased out of the falling body.

The large purple machines going up in a mass of flames as they fell to the earth dead. Like great titans meeting their doom. The X-men are staring at me, I don't want to speak but they have to know.

"Genosha, is getting attacked by a mother sentinel" I see them recoil in fear. "I'm going there" I don't wait to hear the professor's words. I just run through the sands, through the waters and I spot the giant, the true behemoth, the titan of destruction.

A sentinel that is as large as the half the island of Genosha unleashes literal hell on it.

I am but a mere ant compared to it. I can hear the screams from here. Save them first. I can hear the winds break apart. I am going faster than I've ever gone, I pushed the building fatigue behind me.

I get to the island and grab the first person I see and rush them to a mainland. Everything is frozen even the wind. I grab frozen men, women, children and even animals and I take them all to the mainland. I am running just below lightspeed.

I saved all who are alive, I get them to the safety of the mainland. All ten million of them out of a population of fifteen.

I run till I am on top the machine and I begin vibrating. The Kinetic energy inside every molecule of the machine is sucked out into me. For an analogy I was going to squeeze the sponge till it turns to ash. Heat death occurs without molecular momentum, absolute zero. The titan is encased in ice, "Just Die!" I grit my teeth so much that it breaks in my mouth. I punch the machine with the all the energy I just absorbed from it. It breaks into ice particles. It was disintegrated. I am so tired that I can't move my legs but I still do.

I run around the world, I circle it over and over and over till I find what I am looking for in a church located in DC. I was too late, the button was pushed, I know what's it connected to. I pushed my hand through his mouth before he can talk and I phase his brain out of his head. He drops dead, William Stryker's brain is tossed at the wall. It is now gray paste on the walls. My armor is the only thing keeping me standing.

I run to the mansion. Men are shooting at the x men, they are the purifiers. I don't give mercy, speed force lightning roasts them to piles of burning flesh. I walk to the middle of it all, the X-men are gathered.

"Oh no!" the professor shouts. The nuke is visible in the early morning skies. My golden armor stood like a beacon of hope.

"Thank you all" I say to them. Wolverine sees my eyes, he knows what I'm about to do. "Don't do it kid! You've got your life ahead of you!" he dashes forward to stop me.

I smile, "I'm a hero" they were the family I always wanted, I am grateful for that. I will save them all.

I jump in a flash of lightning. I tread on air rushing at the nuke. I phase into its nose, the only light here is me. I punch the core with lightning and cause the premature detonation of the load. The white light is blinding, there is no pain. There is only a beautiful white light. I embrace the heat.

I am a hero. I did what I wanted to. I would've liked to phase out but I'm too tired, there's nothing I can do now but die.

There's a smile on my face, I lived well. It was short but it was great. Let it be known that I died a hero, doing what I wanted to. I close my eyes and embrace it.

The X-men, they inspired hope they inspired a lot of things. In the center of the New York a golden statue was erected. It had a smile on its handsome kind features and a lightning on its chest. The x men stood around the statue and paid their respects. They were silent, the clouds roared and rains poured down. A brown haired girl fell to her knees as she cried. Millions more stood straight on an island, they watched silently. They paid their respects.

A child lay in green grass the calm breeze blew against his auburn hair. He put his hand before his eyes as he sat up.

"Huh?" he turned around searching for something. A man dressed in white approached the child.

"Joseph" the man said.

"Uncle Bob, where are we?" The child asked innocently.

"A very nice place boyo, come" the man stretched out his hand and the boy held on to it.

"Do they have candy where we're going"

"Haha! They have lots of it boyo" he ruffled the boy's hair and they walked into the golden horizon with joyful laughter.

HI everyone. I'll be going away for a while. Might be a week, a month, a year but I'm going away.

Sorry to disappoint y'all. Yeah Dave died a hero. I am too proud of him. Although his journey was short, it's what he did that matters, and he was a beacon of hope.

I need some time off, something's happened today. I….l lost very important ones.

And this was an outlet for me. I'm guess I'm still in shock huh. Heh.

Bye guys stay safe and strong.

We'll meet again.
