G9 (2)
It isn't exactly as she hoped to see it. She hoped to live one of the most beautiful days of her life, still, here she is, ready to fight the troupes of Atlantics that are attacking Genosha, and of all the days, today: to hit the Island, and the rest of the world as well. Dorma isn't a stupid, she knows too well what she is doing, she started to prepared this a long time ago, when she first arrived in this world, led here by Doom. In her universe, she was a queen, an empress, and she wants the title again, she has always wanted that title again, and the easiest way to obtain it is killing the leaders of the world. If she'll be able to do so, she'll be the queen… and she'll have her revenge on the ones like Doom, the hated Susan Storm and Richards, the one who brought her here, the one who become queen in her place, the one who closed her in a jail. It had been the greatest humiliation of her life, she'll have revenge for this, and she is going to obtain it, in a way or in another.
"Here my tropes, ready to fight! Hail Dorma!" She has to admit it, she is lucky. Among Namor's people, she found many of them who weren't happy about the way things were going; many of them just wanted the old Atlantis back, to have the power upon the humans, to be the kings of not just the sea, but of the world itself. And, for their luck, they found someone who wanted to ear their prayers. They found someone with their same goal. They found Queen Dorma, who took them in and leaded them toward the end of the human's world dominance. And, as she flies in direction of the airport were all the politicians are, she can't avoid smiling, full of herself, already tasting the victory. A victory she is sure will arrive soon. And, in that moment, I'll be the queen of the world.
Redemption City -Academy of Tomorrow.
"Is it true that Queen Dorma just attacked, Miss Moonstar?" inside the meeting room of the school, where Danielle "Mirage" Moonstar, a beautiful Cheyenne in her 30s, is speaking with Shen Xorn and the youngest of them all, angelica Johns, a young girl, with black hair and eyes, dressed like a Goth, not already in her 20s, enters, thrilled, followed by a girl with dark eyes and hair dressed like any other girls, just in t-shirt and jeans. Dani doesn't answer her; she doesn't need it, the tv in the room is on, they have just to give a look at it to see what's going on, to see Dorma attacking the innocent people in her way.
"Morgan, be quiet, please. There's nothing to be worried about. The extremes will take good care of her."
"Yes, I know, Miss Moonstar, but… Do you think that we could do something? Do we have to join them in battle?"
Angelica looks at both girl, crossed arms, cold and secure. "I know how you feel, but you're here to learn how to use your powers, not to fight. This isn't up to you. End of the discussion. Now come back to your quarters."
Without a word, the girls leave, silently, but the younger one stopps, with a look full of determination in her blue eyes. "Usually, I don't like fight… I've too many bad memories… every time they come out – she says as her adamantium claws leave her hands – everytime they come out, I see what the Facility made me do in the past. I always fear to have problems to control myself... sometimes it's like I still feel Weapon X's program inside me… like I'm going to kill everyone I'm fighting with from a moment to another."
"Laura… - Morgan stops, looking at her schoolmate, for a moment, neither of them moves, then Laura runs, runs in direction of the nearest exit, smile on her face, full of adrenaline. – Laura? What the hell do you think you are doing? Miss Johns said…"
"Dad trusts Miss Johnson. He says she is a good woman, that I've got a lot to learn from her… that, and the fact that she took me in… I'm not going to let her fight alone, I'll be at her side!" Laura Howlet, Logan's "daughter", says, running in direction of the airport, ready to fight… ready to fight, Again, A fight that no one put her into…a fight that she decided to join on her own… for the first time in her short life.
Meanwhile, at the airport, everything is going to explode, soon. Blocked inside the newborn structure, thousands and thousands of people, including the greatest leader of the worlds, are looking, preys of fear and terrors, as the atlantics trying to break the structure, to get in, to get to them. As Amanda "Daytripper" Safton saw them coming to her, she knew she had to do something. She knew they were going to take no prisoners, that they didn't care about the causalities… so, as soon as she sees them, she manifests a sword made of pure mystic energy, and, planting it into the soil, she creates a shield to protect everything and everyone; as she knees in front of the doors, she just prey… prey that the cavalry will arrive soon, 'cause she is in so much pain, and she doesn't know how long she will survive.. and how long she will able to keep everybody safe.
"My loyal servants, we're not going to let those stupid, little humans stop us….try to force their walls again, use lethal force, do what you want… but I want their lords! - Dorma says, as one of her own walks in her direction, dressed as a druid, with a cape similar to Strange's one – You, master of the magic. One of the likes of you is keeping us out. Scrape it. Now - The man stops in front of Amanda's shield, and starts, starts to tell something, to whisper words long lost to the winds, to manipulate sands of many colours… and the walls become subtler and subtler, and there's nothing Amanda can do, if not scream in pain as she knows that soon she will fail. - Protect the magician. I don't want any troubles." And with so, she moves away, in direction of what she hopes will be soon an opening.
--Here Blackdragon, I'm on the airport. I can see them… there are thousands of them!—the white haired telepaths looks from the sky to them, to her friend who's screaming, to the people who's going to die. --- People, there are simple too many of them… but if we loose this one, we loose everything. Is it clear that we can't let it happen?- As she mentally says so to her team-mates, she starts to project rays of kinetic energy towards the adversaries who's coming directly at her, hitting some of them, but, before she could realise what's happening, from the soil, while she is concentrating to her enemies, the people of Atlantis starts to fire at her. Not normal weapons – they know too well that they'll easily be of no help against so powerful adversaries – but weapons based on the same spin-tech the Initiative's inhibitors were based on, but, differently from them, this one transmits the pieces of information needed to turn off the metagenes via ray… and al it takes to take her down is just one of them, one simple ray and Chris Johnson is falling from the sky like an angel with broken wings who lost its way towards heaven. As she is already feeling her powers going away, she is just able to do what she once did during the so called Secret Invasion, creating a telekinetic bubble in order to protect her body when it will hit the soil… but, like that time, like that time she still remembers so clearly, the fact that she is creating a bubble doesn't mean that the bubble is working at 100% and that she isn't feeling the fall, once hit the soil.
"Well, well, well, look at what we've here…. One of those damn humans – one of the soldiers says approaching her, her shields gone, starting to hit her – let's see, what do we do with you, little girl?"
"Ehy, why don't we have a little of fun? I'm sure queen dorma will not mind it…."
"You know what, you are right. Let's call the others, and leave them look at this beast while she gives the only things are good at…. Entertain us."
"Better is she starts to get used to it, once we'll have take the world, it will be the only thing these cows will ever do…"
"You sure is such a bright idea?"
"So, your power….- Laura starts as they are still walking along the corridors of the school – how does it work, exactly?"
"When we die, especially when we die of a bad death, like, a violent one, or a shocking one, the residual electric activity of our brain leave a trace, a psychokinetic residual in this plane of existence. It's not exactly about we're speaking about, it's more just a mere distorted empty reflection of what once we were… it's energy, unable to do anything different from filling the space around us. But my power, thanks to it I can control this energy, and I can… summon them, giving them a form. Once it was just the form of ghosts, now, after I've had my powers back, I've learned to control them, and shape them as I wish."
"And since your powers work better with the violent deaths, it means that here in Genosha you are very, very powerful, right?"
"Yeah, well, 16 millions of spirits to summon aren't so bad."
"16 millions against few thousands… I say that the odds are going to be reversed, what do you think, Morgan?"
"That what you want to do is so cool, but we still have a problem…. Have you thought about how are we going to join them? Sure that I can summon the ghosts, but I can't send them against someone I can't see, I have to be close enough to the enemy to be able to give them orders. And we are out of people with teleporting abilities, remember?."
"Good thing that people with teleporting abilities owns, actually, teleporting abilities, then- Laura says smirking, face in front the one of her new found friend, showing the brunette one of the Extremes' communication devices. – wonna bet that I know how to contact Slipstream?" saying so, Logan's daughter puts it on, turning the device on.
"Still, it remains the problems about the fact that the invaders are everywhere on the island, and I can be only in a place a time… - Morgan says, as Laura still tries to contact the Australian boy.- by the way, you were a spy, it isn't not so strange that you had that thing and know how to use it and how to reach Mr. Cameron."
"Oh, please, I can't believe that you've worked with Xavier… sometimes you are so naïve, Morgan. You can control your "ghosts" psychically, right? What's the big deal? We've got 3 of the previous hosts of the Phoenix Force, here! They'll help you to create a link with your ghosts everywhere on the island, so you'll be able to control all of them at the same time! - Laura turns, looking outside the window, almost done with the comm.-link, a little annoyed by Morgan's naivety. – and it's Davis, not Mr. Cameron. He isn't so much older then us."
"Yeah, well, just 10 years, right? - Morgan says, smirking as Laura did before, but for a totally different reason. –I've heard that Kitty Pride, when she was 18, had a story with a man who was 10 years older then her, right?"
"Pete Wisdom, intelligence. I know, I trained with him and his black ops team. Done a couple of missions, too. Blackdragon's ex, too. well, and Sage and Dazzler and… "
"Ok, ok, I get it, no more speaking about Davis, right…"
"In fact, it's time to speak to Davis… - Laura says turning towards the other girl again, comm. Link in her hands and a smirking smile on her lips, as she was not only happy, but proud of herself, too – Blond, can you please come back here? I might have an idea about how to end all this mess…"
"You sure is such a bright idea?"
"What are you talking about, brother? Sure that is…" as the Atlantic soldier turns his head to speak with his comrade, he sees that the men at his back are falling, blades of energy piercing their bodies. As he looks in shock at the human creature in front of him, the woman on the soil cleans the blood from her mouth and teeth, and, once standing, as he steps back, she stabs him in the back with a psychic blade of golden and flaming energy, her eyes as red as never before.
"Thanks for the distraction." She says, massaging her forehead, still a little hurt, once the sword is gone.
"You're welcome, love, as always. I've heard you were alive, nice to see that's true. – as he goes near her, he stops, thinking about what to do or not what to do, and decides that no, it's not such a good idea hugging her, not after he has cheated on her – I thought that thing was supposed to depower you."
"It wasn't calibrate on my actual genome." She coldly says trying to pay attention, to see if she can reach someone out there, leaving him behind, like she isn't caring at all about him. At a certain point, she arches her eyebrows, like to think of something, to concentrate on something, and she can see, everyone can see it…. From the soil, thousands and thousands, even millions of spirits, emerge, attacking all at the same time, all the same target: Namora and her people.
"What….. Sorcerer! – she screams as she reaches the old "man" – hurry up, they've called their fallen ones for help! We must to get to their leaders!"
"I'm trying, my queen, but the spirits… they are preventing me from accessing to the woman's source of power!" he tries to find a reason to explain her why he is failing, but he can't, also if there are the ghosts, this isn't the reason, the reason is that the woman is resting, and is stronger than he thought…
"Gimme the damn book! I'll easily find a solution for our problem, and, once I'll be queen of the world, you'll die!"
"Not be so sure about it, blue skin - as she hears these words, Dorma tries to turn, but can't. 2 adamntium claws are already passing through her abdomen, leaving her almost dead, but, still, alive. – be glad that I want to stay here, or you'd be dead at this time."
"Love, what the hell just happened?" he asks her as the invaders retreat inside the sea, in panic.
"It happen, Wisdom, that somehow we just won."
"Today we are, in this land, to celebrate not the mutants or the "plain" humans – president Obama of the USA says from the stage in the arena – but we are here to celebrate freedom and unity… and change. This city has been called with many names, but the one she has now, Redemption, has a more deep meaning…"
"Today we are here –the president of France, Ségolène Royal, continues – because of a man, who believed that we all could live together, in harmony. A man with a dream, a dream that conquered the world, and redeemed his worst enemy…"
"a man who redeemed himself. Those men believed in change, believed, over all, in this land, and in the possibility to make it the centre of the world, a place from which take example all over the world…" Maroni says.
The German chancellor, Horst Köhler, takes the word "We're proud to be here today, to witness what the future is waiting for us. Here we're not talking about a future where mutants will inherit the planet, but the future we're talking about is a much more brighter one…."
"this is the future those men, those woman and men, those people tried to show us for so many years, often failing. We've been at closed eyes for a way too long time, today it's time to finally open them…" Stephen Harper, first minister of Canada, says.
"today we don't accept them. Today we see them, for what they are, our brothers and sisters, men among men, and not gods, not monsters, not freaks. They are like us, creatures of our same blood, that saw the light in this world." Gordon Brown of the UK says.
"these people had showed us what strength and courage is. What willpower is… them, and this island. It doesn't matter how many times madmen, aliens and weapons created by devilish men have walk this soil, they never stop to try, to have faith, they never lower their heads… they keeps fighting, until the very end." Taro Aso of Japan continues, followed by Dmitry Medvedev from Russia.
"today, Genosha rebirths. Today, with her, the world rebirths, becoming a better place, a better place for our future generations to grown up in. we have to believe that it's not just something that's happening now and here, but the whole future, the whole future of this world is as bright as what we are seeing right now."
"Today Warii – says T'Challa taking the word – becomes president of GENOSHA… OF NEW GENOSHA … and the world welcomes this land of peace and liberty among her country. Today I'm proud as never before to have at my side someone who helped so much this cause, my beloved queen, Ororo, former leader of Xavier's group, the X-Men… today, I'm porud as never before to introce this world to Mbasa Warii and his government, and to introduce to this planet its new protector…. The Extremes!"
So tell me what you think of my new experiment. I'd like to know your opinions... see you soon, with new chapters, of my new work and my old one as well... see you soon with the BIRTH OF NEW GENOSHA!
