Chapter 24

Derek suddenly stopped when he noticed the island with an abandoned warehouse across from him. He looked around to see if there was a better way to get there than swim in the cold ocean. But there wasn't. He sighed as he dived into the shivering ocean and swam, holding his breathe, in the water. By the time, he got there he saw guards walking around. Derek looked both ways and ran really fast to climb the rocks above him.

Meanwhile back at the mansion….

"We need to get there before Zeke turns Angelina into a full weapon." Cole said as he was walking near Logan.

"Wait!" Logan yelled as the others stopped. Everyone turned to him as he faced Cole, "What do you mean by full?"

Cole sighed, "I'll tell all of you in the jet but right now, we need to get moving because…..like I said I will explain in the jet."

As they all went inside the jet, Scott and Jean decided to fly the jet while the others were talking. The teenagers; Bobby and Kitty's kids with them were sitting down. Logan decided to stand and stare at Cole until he gets his answer.

Cole sighed heavily, "Zeke told me one day, that he and his scientists build a chip. Not any chip, a military chip. He made it only for Angelina, since she was the perfect weapon he decided to put the chip in her head while she was unconscious. This chip can control her and make her kill anyone with military abilities: strength, speed, hearing, etc…. However, what he didn't realize that Angelina had control of her head when she was eleven. This means, she can control whatever she is doing"

"Why is she going back to Zeke?" asked Marie, "Doesn't she know if she goes back he will control her."

"Unless there is a price." Cole answered.

Everyone was quiet for a while until Storm noticed something in the paperwork that Cole and Angelina did.

"But there was a time, when Angelina couldn't control it." Storm said, "But you managed to stop her, didn't you?"

Storm handed the paper to Charles and as he read, a disappointed expression came. "Care to tell us what happened?" Strom suggested.

"I'm sure if Marie would want to hear it." Cole answered.

"No." Marie answered, "I want to know what happened." She demanded.

"It was a few weeks after; Angelina has the chip inside her head." He began, "She was training on how to use a gun but she never wanted to use it because a few days ago, Zeke shot her friend in front of her own eyes."

"I'm going to kill him." Cole heard Logan muttered under his breath.

"As she was shooting plastic targets, I noticed how the chip activates when she continued shooting as if she thrust for more targets. She couldn't control it so I tried to turn the chip off on my computer but it didn't work." Cole recalled as he closed his eyes remembering what happened.

A young Angelina was surrounded by guards as she was still holding a gun in her hand. They told her that if she puts the gun down, they wouldn't shoot. Angelina scoffed, she knew the guards too well. They will shoot whether they like it or not. All of a sudden, with one blink she was gone from the inner circle. The guards looked around but couldn't see her.

BANG!

All the guards turned to their leader, who was coughing blood, as he noticed a bullet went through his chest. He fell down to the ground as the guards saw eleven-year-old Angelina holding the gun up still. All she did was smile evilly at them. Angelina put the gun in her back pocket and started to run away.

"GET HER!" she heard a guard roar.

Angelina ran in her normal speed so she could give the guards a little heads up. Then she noticed that they were other guards in her way…her exit from the training room. But she didn't stop instead; she jumped over them like a jaguar. She landed on her two feet and began running again but this time, in a much more faster speed. All of a sudden, a net fell on top of her, trying to catch her like some fish, she couldn't get out. So, Angelina decided to remain clam until someone comes.

Two guards came; one was standing all-muscular while the other one was trying to release the net off of her. When the net was off her, Angelina ran to the standing soldier and punched him in the face and he fell down unconscious. Angelina spun to face the other guard, intending to knock him down as well; however, they met with his fist instead. Angelina was down to the ground face first; her hair fell to cover her face.

"You hit like a girl," she snarled darkly to him.

Angelina looked back up at the guard as blood dripped down from the corner of her mouth. Quickly, Angelina jumped up and roundhouse kicked him in the face, hard and grinned in satisfaction as he went down in a heap. Angelina's smile was soon gone when she started to fell someone's arm around her neck chocking her.

Angelina's little body was lifted up in the air as the man's arms were chocking her very strong. Then, Angelina used one of her arms to punch him in the stomach and then, kicked him the penis. He groaned as he fell down to the ground in pain.

"Dark Angel!" yelled a commanding voice.

The little girl turned her body around to face men Dr. Cole with a gun in his hand. He stared at Angelina's eyes and saw confusion and the list to kill.

"I can't control it." She whimpered

"I know." He answered.

"Help me." She said in a childish voice.

Abruptly, Angelina ran towards him but stopped when she felt pain in her side. She looked up to face Dr. Cole, who was holding a gun in his hand, straight at Angelina. Angelina fell down to the ground, blood pouring out, and whimpered in pain.

"Thank you." She whispered before she went to unconscious.

"I didn't want to shot her but I had to or else she would escape and kill innocent people." Cole said, "I stayed by her bedside every day and night just to make sure she would wake up and smile happily again like she use to do."

"When did she wake up?" asked Logan trying not to stab Cole for shooting his kid.

"About 3 weeks later." He answered, "But her mind was in control again. But what I do know is that whenever she gets too anger, the chip will activate."

"Does Derek know about the chip?" Marie asked.

"No, he doesn't."
