Chapter Thirteen
I don't own Digimon or X-Men
Chapter Thirteen
Logan rolled over in his bed as he struggled to fall asleep, but he was having no success as he had flashbacks from his past, he heard the sound of chains jangling. "I need you to read my mind again,"
"I am afraid the results will be the same as before,"
"You'll be indestructible,"
"No memory,"
"Sometimes the mind needs to figure things out for itself,"
"Wolverine, you'll have no memory. No memory," Logan then saw a door open and a bright light and he woke up sweating. He then got out of his bed and he walked down the hallway when he heard voices on the TV and he leaned against the doorframe where he saw a boy sitting on the sofa and he blinked several times changing the channels as he went.
"Can't sleep," The boy asked him.
"How can you tell?" Logan asked him.
"Because you're awake," The boy answered.
"What about you?" Logan asked.
"I don't sleep," The boy told him, Logan walked off and pass the kitchen before he stopped and walked back to see Bobby eating ice cream.
"Hey," he greeted.
"Does anyone sleep around here?" Logan asked walking to the fridge.
"Apparently not," Booby told him.
"Got any beer?" Logan asked looking in the fridge.
"This is a school," Bobby told him.
"So that's a no?" Logan asked.
"Yeah, that's a no," Bobby said.
"You guys got anything other than chocolate milk?" Logan asked.
"There should be some soda in that small cupboard," Bobby told him and Logan moved over to the cupboard and he opened it and took out a bottle of it and he opened it, he went to drink it before he handed it to Booby who blew on it and super chilled the drink.
"Thanks," Logan said.
"Don't mention it," Bobby said as Logan sat down opposite him.
"How long you been here?" He asked.
"Couple of years," Bobby answered him.
"And your parents just sent you off to mutant school?" Logan asked him.
"Actually, my parents think this is a prep school," Bobby answered him.
"Ah, well I suppose lots of prep schools have their own dorms campuses…." Logan said.
"Jets," Bobby added and Logan nodded.
"So you and Rogue huh?" He asked.
"Yeah. Well it's not what you think, I'd like it to be, it's just…it's difficult when you want to get close to someone but you can't," Bobby said. "You know I've seen how you look at Doctor Grey,"
"Excuse me?" Logan asked.
"Nothing," Bobby replied eating more of the ice cream. Meanwhile two helicopters were flying silently towards the mansion and on one of those helicopters was Stryker and in his hand was a small remote control. Meanwhile Daisuke tossed and turned in her sleep before she felt someone tap her on the shoulder and her eyes opened and she held her hand out and three Adamantium claws shot out.
"Whoa! Dai easy!" She blinked several times before her sight cleared and she it was Takato leaning over the side of the top bunk rail.
"Takato, be careful next time. I could have stabbed you," She told him, meanwhile back with the boy he heard a noise and he walked outside the room where he saw a man wearing combat gear and holding a flashlight walk up to him.
"Hi," the boy said before the man took out a pistol and fired three darts at the boys neck knocking him out before he could react. The man then did hand signals and more soldiers ran into the mansion, Logan meanwhile heard footsteps and he stood up.
"What is it?" Bobby asked him.
"Sh-sh," Logan told him as the soldiers barged into rooms and shot darts at the mutant children except for one who breathed in and she sank through her bed and down to the next floor and then she ran through a soldier and through a wall and then through another wall just narrowly avoiding darts. Logan walked out of the kitchen and Bobby turned to look out the window where he heard the choppers, a soldier walked in and was about to shoot him before Logan grabbed him. "You picked the wrong house bub," He told the soldier as suddenly high pitched screaming echoed throughout the house making everyone awake cover their ears as the soldier Logan was fighting started to shoot his weapon and Bobby ducked behind the counter as bullets impacted around him. Daisuke, Takato, Mizu, Layla and the three digimon all heard the scream before it suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" Takato asked.
"I don't know," Mizu answered as Guilmon sniffed the air and he growled.
"Takatomon, I smell other humans here," He said.
"What do you mean?" Daisuke asked him.
"I think he means the school is under attack," Mizu said as the door to the room burst open and two soldiers stormed in but Daisuke ran forward and she stabbed one of them with her claws and Mizu froze the other soldier.
"For once you're right," Takato said to his sister. Logan meanwhile was still fighting the soldier before he extended his claws and he stabbed the soldier and he collapsed before Logan looked at Bobby.
"You alright?" He asked and Bobby nodded before both Logan and Bobby exited the kitchen before Logan stopped Bobby.
"Stay here," He said before he walked towards one soldier and stabbed him with his claws before he stabbed another one, Bobby heard more children screaming as they ran from the soldiers, Colossus walked into a room where two soldiers were and his skin became covered in organic steel as the soldiers shot him but the bullets bounced off him and he walked forwards and threw both of them through a wall. Daisuke, Mizu, Layla and Takato walked out of their room followed by the digimon as they heard Logan roar as he charged some soldiers down below.
"Come on," Takato said and everyone ran off before Daisuke stopped and held the back of her neck as she felt something course through her body.
"Dai are you alright?" Veemon asked his partner but she did not reply as she opened her eyes to show they had white rings around her pupils and she looked at Takato.
"Dai?" He asked before he had to duck under a swipe of Daisuke's claws.
"Whoa! Daisuke what're you doing?!" Mizu asked before she jumped back as Daisuke attacked her as well.
"Something's not right," Coronamon said.
"We know that!" Takato shouted as he ducked under a swipe from Daisuke's claws before he noticed her eyes had changed. "She's under some kind of mind control," He said.
"What? But how?" Mizu asked her brother.
"Does it matter? Quick you guys go and help the others, I'll handle Daisuke, and hopefully snap her out of this," Takato answered.
"Be careful," Mizu said as she, Layla and the digimon ran off, Takato then looked at Daisuke's blank look.
"Daisuke! I know you're in there, snap out of it!" he shouted but Daisuke did not listen as she charged at him. Colossus stood out of the hole he made in the wall carrying the girl in his arms as more students ran up to him.
"This way!" He told them before running off and the students followed him, Bobby meanwhile used an elevator and got to the upper floor where he saw Pyro run past him.
"John! Where's Rogue?" He asked.
"I don't know," John answered.
"I gotta find her," Bobby said as he ran off.
"Hey!" John shouted following after Bobby.
"Come on open it! Hurry!" one of the kids exclaimed as several of them tried to open a secret exit as Colossus ran up to them.
"Here take her," He told some kids before he elbowed the wall and a small portion of it opened up and the kids all ran through, Logan walked over to Colossus with the stunned kid in his arms.
"Here take him, he's stunned," He told Colossus.
"I can help you," He said.
"No, help them," Logan said and Colossus nodded as he climbed through the entrance as Logan stood against a wall as a soldier came into view, he then stabbed the soldier and ran forwards as gunfire rang out.
"Rogue!" Bobby shouted as he and John ran down a hallway as Rogue ran up to them.
"Bobby! This way!" She told them as the three of them turned the corner only for the window at the end of the hallway to explode making Rogue scream before two soldiers entered but John opened his lighter and he sent two fireballs at them creating explosions sending the two soldiers flying back out the window.
"Come on!" Bobby shouted as the three of them ran off in another direction, they soon ran into the digimon, Mizu and Layla.
"Guys! We need help! Something's happened to Daisuke, she's gone crazy and is attacking Takato," Mizu told them.
"What?" Bobby asked.
"Just what I said, come on!" Mizu exclaimed as two soldiers turned the corner and approached the group.
"V-HEADBUTT!" Veemon shouted as he ran towards a soldier and he headbutted one in the face knocking him out.
"PYRO SPHERE!" Guilmon shouted as he launched a red fireball at the second soldier hitting him dead centre and sending him flying backwards and knocking him out. Takato meanwhile was busy ducking and avoiding Daisuke's claw strikes.
"Daisuke! Come on this is crazy! Why are you fighting me!?" He asked her but again Daisuke stayed silent as she sent an optic blast right at Takato who rolled to the side as the blast hit the wall behind him and created a hole in it. "Okay! I am through playing nice," he said as Daisuke ran towards him but he held his hand up and Daisuke was lifted into the air, Takato then threw Daisuke through a wall and he sighed. But before he could breathe Daisuke jumped through the hall again this time using her organic steel power and she ran towards Takato and punched and kicked at him but Takato dodged all the attacks before Daisuke hit his ribs with a wile right hook and he felt a rib crack and he coughed up some blood, Daisuke then went to deliver one more blow but she was thrown back again by Takato and his telekinesis. "Daisuke! Please listen to me! You're my friend! I couldn't bear it if something bad happened to you! Please snap out of this!" He begged her but Daisuke snarled and she ran towards Takato without using any of her powers and punched at him but he caught her fist and then the other one before he pulled Daisuke close to him and he kissed her on the lips making Daisuke's eyes widen before she closed them and moaned, she then opened her eyes and the rings had vanished and Daisuke looked around.
"What happened? I had a weird dream about us kissing," She said and Takato blushed and chuckled nervously and Daisuke blushed before she squeaked embarrassed. "We did?" She asked horrified.
"We can talk about this later, right now we need to get out of here!" Takato told her and she nodded as both ran off where they soon, Bobby, Rogue, John, Layla, Mizu and the digimon being surrounded by soldiers, Daisuke roared as she ran towards the edge of the balcony and she jumped down and stabbed one soldier making the others look at her and they all aimed their guns at her but she smirked.
"Access Magneto," She said and the guns all flew out of the soldiers hands. "You homo-sapiens and your guns," She said disappointed before she winked and the guns all fired and shot the soldiers and they dropped dead, the guns then all dropped to the ground and Daisuke looked at the others who were looking at her in shock. "Come on, don't just stand there," She told them as Takato came down the stairs as Logan ran into the area.
"There you all are. Time to go," he said as the door opened and a helicopter was heard.
"This way," Takato said as everyone ran off towards a secret entrance but Daisuke shut the door behind Takato and Logan.
"Dai!" Takato shouted as the soldiers rounded the corner.
"You want to shoot me! Shoot me!" She shouted angrily at them her claws coming out of her knuckles.
"Don't shoot!" Stryker shouted as he walked around the corner. "Not yet anyway. Well, well, Stardust. It's been a while hasn't it," He said to her.
"You. I know you, you were at Alkali Lake when I was taken there after I rescued Layla," Daisuke said.
"That's right I was, William Stryker," Stryker said as Daisuke felt some blood on her neck and she wiped it off before looking at it. "Ah, I see the mind control serum capsule I implanted into you has stopped effecting you,"
"You! You made me fight Takato you bastard!" She shouted at Stryker angrily.
"You guys wait!" Takato shouted as he and the others ran down a tunnel. "We have to save her, they're going to kill her!"
"She can handle herself," John said.
"Logan! Please!" Takato begged and Logan looked at him and nodded.
"Come on," He said and everyone headed back towards Daisuke.
"Mind control serum…wait you're the one who made that mutant attack the president. And for what so you can attack helpless children? What kind of sick twisted old man are you?" Daisuke asked him disgusted.
"I simply provided the world with a reason on why to hate mutants, your kind are nothing more than freaks of nature, and I won't rest until you and every other mutant is dead and humanity reigns supreme," Stryker said as Daisuke closed her eyes briefly, just then the secret hatch opened and Logan stepped out followed by Takato.
"Dai come on," Takato told her.
"Wolverine? How long has it been? Fifteen years? You haven't aged a day, me on the other hand….nature," Stryker said.
"Who are you?" Logan asked him.
"Don't you remember me…old friend?" Stryker asked but suddenly a wall of crystal rose up between Stryker and the others.
"No! No!" Logan shouted.
"Logan, Daisuke come on!" Mizu shouted to them.
"Guys go! We'll be fine!" Daisuke told them all.
"But we won't," Rogue said and Logan and Daisuke sighed before they ran off with the others through the entrance and the door shut behind them.
"Keep running," Logan said and soon everyone ended up in the garage.
"Get in," Logan told Rogue, Bobby and John as the all headed to a blue sports car.
"I'm driving," John said.
"Next time maybe," Logan told him.
"Veemon, ready?" Daisuke asked him.
"Coronamon?" Mizu asked.
"Ready," Both said.
"DIGI-ARMOUR ENERGISE!" Daisuke exclaimed as Veemon glowed bright blue.
"VEEMON….ARMOUR DIGIVOLVE TOO….RAIDRAMON THE STORM OF FRIENDSHIP!" Veemon shouted as he digivolved into Raidramon.
"CORONAMON….DIGIVOLVE TOO…..FIRAMON!" Coronamon shouted as he digivolved into Firamon.
"This is Cyclops's car," Bobby told Logan who smirked.
"Oh yeah?" He asked before he extended his middle claw and jammed it into the ignition and the car turned on and it sped up and smashed through the garage doors followed by Daisuke, Layla and Raidramon and Firamon, Guilmon, Takato and Mizu and the two digimon followed the car as it sped down the road away from the mansion. Several soldiers meanwhile arrived in the basement in front of Cerebro and one soldier looked at the door to the machine.
"What the hell was that back there?" John asked in the car.
"Stryker, his name is Stryker," Logan said.
"Who is he?" Rogue asked him.
"I can't remember," He answered her. Two soldiers wheeled a machine towards Cerebro as Stryker arrived.
"Hey Logan, catch," Daisuke called to Logan as she tossed his dog tags to him from Raidramon and he caught them.
"I hate uncomfortable silences," John said as he pressed play only for Bye Bye Bye from Nsync to blare out of the speakers.
"Oh god! Cyclops's has a secret crush on a boy band, and a shit one at that," Daisuke said as Logan turned the music off with a smirk.
"Tell me about it," he said as a small device popped out and he looked at it.
"That's not his CD player," John said as Logan opened it and it beeped.
"Whoa," he said as he tried to use it like a phone.
"Hey pass that here," Daisuke said and he tossed it to her and she caught it.
"What is it?" Bobby asked her.
"It's a communicator, but I don't know how it works, I'll figure it out when we get somewhere safe," She answered pocketing the communicator.
"Where to now?" Layla asked.
"Storm and Jean are in Boston, we'll head that way," Logan answered her.
"My parents are in Boston," Bobby said.
"Good," Logan said as the car sped off and Raidramon and Firamon followed after him.
"Sergeant," Stryker asked.
"Several of the mutants escaped through tunnels not on our schematics, we have six in custody sir," The soldier answered as Stryker walked up to Cerebro and a solider looked at him and he nodded and the soldier looked into the machine and it fired a blue beam at the door as it started to turn before the door opened up.
"Welcome professor," Cerebro said and Stryker smiled as he walked inside and looked around.
"Take what we need gentlemen," He told them before he walked out.
