Hey guys. I haven't been updating for a while because, if you haven't seen my profile, my best friend died. I'm still in the process of mourning. I'm not asking for pity I'm just giving an explanation.
Time to answer a review.
Gadget the Critic: Yes he actually is. I decided not to use every aspect of a Titan Shifter though. Such as: A Titan Shifter controls their Titan at the nape instead of transforming their body, Jäger isn't an exact copy of another just a few features, he doesn't need a task big enough to transform it just helps, the weak spot is not the nape, his power can be activated by self harm but can be an issue of heart rate or maybe anger. There are other things I can't think of. The name Jäger, oddly enough, came from Pacific Rim (It means hunter in German) not Eren's surname.

After hours in this helicopter circling the mansion in a five mile circumference, we surmised that the Sentinels had stopped rampaging. Everyone must be escaped or dead.
But to be safe, we stayed at the edge of the woods and watched the direction of the mansion.
"We are almost out of fuel." Even if they haven't left we need to land soon. "Helicopters falling from the sky results in death almost 100 percent of the time." Flame Kang told us. "Good news is, no thermal signatures are showing up on the infrared.
"The Sentinels are robots. They don't have body heat." Jäger pointed out.
"The energy blasts. They would either work up a heat in their primary…. Heat is hot." Flame Kang gave up.
"Worst comes to worst we could always crash the chopper into the mansion. Crush a few Sentinels." I said.
"I don't think we should be worrying about how to beat them. I think we should wonder where they came from." Bug Boy said.
"Before we do that." Flame Kang started moving it forward. "You need a new codename. I legitimately can't take you seriously. Atom?"
"Taken." Bug Boy said.
"Molecule." I suggested.
"Let's go with that." Molecule said. Flame Kang started having trouble with the controls.
"Falling from the sky. We are freaking screwed. We are gonna die as we burn bright." Flame Kang sang a sing songy tune. "Oh, jingle bells jingle bells we are gonna die. Say your final goodbyes cause we are gonna burn to death." The helicopter started dipping and the roar of the engine started to die.
"Come on." Flame Kang said as he tried to direct us do the grass. It seemed as though that wouldn't happen.
I looked at the pool about a hundred yards away and around a corner. We were falling faster now and the engine got weaker by the second.
I focused my energy to the pool and imagined a hand reaching out to stop us.
Then, the helicopter jolted to a stop. I was thrown into the back of the pilot seat. I looked out the windshield and saw the grass about ten feet away from the nose.
"Why are we stopping?" Jäger asked.
I opened the sliding door and looked behind us. I saw a blue frozen wave extending from the pool, touching the tail of the chopper.
"Hey I did it!" I exclaimed.
"Did what?" Molecule asked. He looked out and saw the wave froze the chopper in it's tracks. "Oh. You froze it."
I saw the frost spreading from the tail and jumped off. Everyone followed my lead. I looked into the window of the mansion and saw total darkness. Nothing moved.
"Last one in's a rotten egg!" Jäger said and tried to jump through the window. Since these windows were designed for this, he bounced off.
"Dumbass." I laughed. I looked at the top floor and saw the hole Jäger punched in it. "Do you think-"
"Argh!" I heard Flame Kang grunt as then I heard a smash. His hands were in fire and he had just punched a hole in the bricks. Then his feet lit up and he kicked another hole. He tore the rest off and walked in.
"Nevermind." I heard Jäger say behind me. He took his hand from his mouth and wiped saliva off it.
We followed Flame Kang in and saw the place was ransacked. Walls were busted, mutant bodies lying everywhere. Virtually no Sentinels were defeated.
"Let's split up." Molecule said.
"We aren't the Scooby Gang, Bug Boy." Jäger said.
"Whatever, let's just find Professor X." He said back. Flame Kang took the first steps in. We opened up into a hallway that was behind the grand staircase up front.
"This place is creepy with no one in it." I said.
"How do you think Deadpool, Colossus, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead felt?" Flame Kang asked.
"Who pool and nega teen what?" I said back in a whisper.
"Nevermind. Where's Cerebro?" He asked.
"Basement." Jäger informed us. He led us to a staircase made of metal that led to a metallic hallway.
"How does Professor X get down here?" Molecule asked.
"There's an elevator." I told him. Slowly, we descended down the silent hallway. Sure enough, at Cerebro's entrance was Charles Xavier. Unmoving.
We broke into a sprint towards him.
"PROFESSOR!" We all yelled. I think subconsciously I heard the hum before this.
"Wake up!" I told him.
"He is awake, his eyes are open." Flame Kang said.
"Earth to Charles!" Jäger snapped his fingers. Then the hum I was talking about hit us full force. We were all knocked to the ground.
"Sentinels. An enemy created by Trask. They were born to hunt mutants. Then, in the distant future, a mutant called Wolverine was sent back in time to stop them being created. To find out where the Sentinels come from, find Wolverine. Logan will help you. Wheel me into Cerebro." The humming noise stopped as soon as it came. I held Charles' head up and the scanner saw his eyes.
"Welcome Professor." A robotic voice said. We pushed him in frantically and put the headgear on him. Behind us, the doors closed.
"The white lights are humans." The room suddenly lit up white. The dots mapped out the globe, give or take a few empty spaces. "The red are mutants." Then, red light flooded the room. Half of the human population is what the mutant one read. Slowly, they disappeared. It then zoomed in on one mutant in particular. He was in the woods. Just walking. There was a cigar in his mouth. "Logan. He is currently residing in the Rocky Mountains. Somewhere in his memory is the man who created the Sentinels."
"I take it that it's not Trask." Jäger said. No answer.
"Humans have not seemed to notice. Which means that a powerful mutant has retrieved the Sentinels and camouflaged them. Either from an alternate timeline or the past (It's not Apocalypse). It's also likely they were reconstructed. They did not mimic any powers." The hum in our heads from Xavier went on. "I can not last long. I'm barely clinging to life." Even as he…. Transferred? As he told us the hum died down.
"What happened to you?" Jäger asked.
No answer. I put my ear to his chest.
"He's alive. Barely. We should get him up to his study." I said.
"Where's his study?" Molecule asked.
"Yeah, I don't know either." Jäger chimed in.
"Nor do I." Flame Kang informed us.
"I was hoping you guys might. It's not like it's hidden away though. People go there all the time." I told them.
"Let's get started. Jäger, find the study." Molecule said and patted Jäger's shoulder.
"Why me?" He asked.
"You seem stronger than the rest of us." Molecule answered. I could tell he wanted to argue but he picked up Professor X and slung him over his shoulder.
Then we went back upstairs. Jäger split up from the rest of us for a while to find the study.
"How many do you think survived?" I asked. I blew a piece of hair from my face and looked around.
"I don't - Did you hear that?" Flame Kang said. He looked at the window. Then the wall. He started walking down one of the hallways. Molecule and I followed.
I started to hear a crackle. Eventually we came to the same kitchen I froze the Sentinel in. Oh no. Flame Kang entered and I ran in straight after him.
Just as I had previously thought, the Sentinel had thawed out. It threw a punch at Flame Kang who tried to dodge. He was hit and thrown into me.
"Argh!" I yelled. I pulled water from the sink and hardened it. The Sentinel just blasted the ice apart with an energy blast.
Molecule jumped and shrunk. He ran across a granite island counter. While the Sentinel was distracted by him, Flame Kang lit up his hands and punched the Sentinel. His hand was caught.
"AHH!" He yelled. I focused all my energy into my hands, not knowing the result. They went frigid and ice shot from my hand. The ice hit the Sentinel and he dropped Flame Kang.
The ice broke up and Molecule jumped large and slammed into the Sentinel. It stumbled and slipped on some broken ice. It quickly gained stance fired energy. It hit the wall behind us.
Flame Kang punched the Sentinel in the side and shattered the metal scales. A good chunk came off.
"What's going on - OH CRAP!" Jäger said as he walked in. The energy was directed at him but he dodged. "Where did this guy come from!?" He yelled.
"He thawed!" I yelled as I blasted more ice to no avail. "He seems more powerful!"
I saw him raise his hand to his mouth.
"DON'T!" Molecule yelled. Jäger hesitated. "We've got th-" He was cut off when someone bursted through the window behind the Sentinel. With blinding speed, the Sentinel's head was torn off and tossed.
"What was that?" I asked.
"That would be me." A voice said. I turned but saw no one. "Hey. How's it going?" I heard this come from Flame Kang's direction. A person sat on the counter behind him. "What's with the giant Sentinel body out there?" The person was a boy of about 19 wearing a leather jacket with the hood on. Flame Kang turned around.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Who aren't I?" He asked, suddenly leaning on the doorframe.
"Super speed?" I asked.
"No. Time." He said.
"Gah! Where are we?" Molecule exclaimed as we were suddenly in the grand entrance.
"I sped up time so we were here. Really takes it out of me. Hey, what are you guys doing here, I counted like twenty dead bodies on the way here." He asked. Boy, he talks a mile a minute.
We explained everything.
"What's your names?" We want around introducing ourselves.
"Cool. I'm Kronos. Hey, can I join you guys?" He asked.
"Uhhh…. Sure." Flame Kang said.
"Cool. I'll be outside." In the blink of an eye, he was tapping on the window outside.
