Chapter Twenty Six
I don't own Digimon or X-Men
In the White House or rather beneath it in the war room, several people were running around while Trask was on the phone before he hung up and turned to look at the President. "Two minutes to rendezvous Mr President," He told him and the President walked towards Trask. "We have a satellite feed of Magneto's base of operations," He said to the President as they both looked at a screen that had a thermal image of Magneto's base.
"How did we find it?" The president asked.
"She gave us everything we wanted and more," Trask answered looking at a screen which had Mystique now turned normal talking to someone.
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," The president said and several other nodded in agreement. Meanwhile at the forest near Magneto's camp were several soldiers in camo gear and carrying cure weapons and they all slowly approached the camp.
"Approaching target dead ahead. Set for 360 degree incursion," A soldier said.
"Team leader to Bravo One, we are green to go," Another soldier said.
"Sent them in," The President said.
"Ok, go," Another soldier said and all the soldiers charged the camp when suddenly all the mutants started to vanish which confused the president and Trask and the soldiers saw the mutants all merge until Multiple Man was left.
"Okay, I give up. You got me," He said.
"Sorry Mr President, it was a decoy," A soldier reported back.
"If he's not there then where the hell is he?" The President asked frustrated. The next morning as the sun rose above San Francisco Magneto and his Brotherhood were looking at Alcatraz Island.
"Worthington Labs, it ends where it began. Are you sure the boy is still inside?" Magneto asked Callisto.
"One hundred percent," She answered.
"How do you suppose we get there?" Juggernaut asked. "Because I can't swim,"
"Leave that to me," Magneto told him. Daisuke soon arrived back at the mansion and she walked through the doors quickly.
"Takato! Takato! Jean! Storm! Cyclops! Logan! Anyone!" She shouted.
"What're you doing back here?" Takato asked her as he looked at her from the top of the stairs.
"I need help," She answered him and Takato's eyes widened.
"You found her?" He asked running down the stairs followed by Mizu and Storm.
"Yeah I did. She's with Magneto," She answered.
"Well where are they?" Takato asked her.
"They're on the move. I know where they're going," Daisuke answered as Hank walked up.
"Are you saying you saw Magneto?" He asked her.
"Yeah I did. We gotta go now. They're going to attack Alcatraz and destroy the source of the cure," Daisuke said walking off.
"There are troops stationed on that island," Hank told her.
"Yeah. But not enough to stop him and his Brotherhood," Daisuke said.
"Let's suit up," Storm said.
"I'll find the others," Mizu said and everyone headed to below the mansion, Warren had heard the whole thing and he walked off as well. Later Hank was now wearing an old jacket with a yellow X-Men symbol on the left of it and on the short sleeves were three yellow stripes while Daisuke was putting on her gloves.
"Hard to believe this once fit me," Hank said looking at his outfit.
"If Magneto gets a hole of the cure they'll be no stopping him. He'll use it against any mutant who opposes him," Daisuke said.
"Can you estimate how many he has?" Hank asked her.
"An army. And Kari," Daisuke answered him.
"Magneto's powers have limits, but our friend's do not," Hank said as they neared Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Logan, Yuriko, Takato, Mizu, Kitty, Bobby and Colossus.
"Magneto has an army Daisuke. And there is only twelve of us," Bobby said and she looked at everyone.
"Yeah I know. We're outnumbered. I'm not gonna lie and say this is going to be an easy fight." She said. "But you know as well as I do that if Magneto succeeds all that we have fought for. All that we stand for will be for nothing, my friend is on that Island, and I will not lose her to the Phoenix, nor will I lose any of you. This time we stand together as X-Men all of us. Who is with me?" She asked holding her hand out.
"I'm in," Takato said as he put his hand on hers.
"Same here," Mizu said doing the same and the rest of the X-Men did so as well.
"On three. One, two, three…" Daisuke said.
"X-Men!" Everyone shouted as they headed to the jet.
"They're ready," Daisuke said to Storm.
"Yeah I know. But are you ready to do what needs to be done when the time comes?" Storm asked her in return and Daisuke looked at her.
"I hope I can still break through to Kari. But yes, I am ready," She answered and both of them headed inside to the X-Jet, it soon lifted off and flew towards San Francisco. On the Golden Gate Bridge meanwhile cars were driving along as if nothing was wrong when all of a sudden they all swerved into each other and all the passengers climbed out as the bridge started to shake and creak and groan. The cars were then parted as Magneto and his Brotherhood walked along the bridge, Magneto then cracked his knuckles and he held his arms out and focused as the bridge started to move before it soon floated into the air and it moved across the water towards Alcatraz Island where the soldiers watched it approach including Jimmy, Dr Rao and Mr Worthington. The bridge then dropped down connecting the island to the mainland.
"My God," The President said in complete shock at what he just saw. Magneto then landed in front of his army and walked towards the island where the mutants followed.
"Take cover! Fall back!" A soldier shouted, Magneto stopped walking as Calisto, Pyro and Juggernaut approached him.
"The boys in the south-east corner of the building," Callisto told Magneto who nodded slightly.
"Well then…" He said as he looked at Pyro.
"Let's take it down!" Pyro shouted and the mutants all charged the base and the soldiers ran out with their cure weapons, Magneto then stopped Juggernaut from heading in.
"In chess the pawns go first," He told him.
"I never knew that," Juggernaut said as Magneto saw the soldiers aiming their weapons.
"Humans and their guns," he said as he waved his hand but nothing happened and the soldiers started to fire the cure weapons at the mutants, Magneto waved his hand again and his brow furrowed in confusion before he came to a realisation. "Plastic this time. They've learned," He said as the soldiers kept firing at the mutants stripping them of their powers, several soldiers fired explosive rounds into the air which showered mutants with the cure much to the rest of the Brotherhood's horror. "That is why the pawns go first," Magneto said.
"Target the bridge!" A soldier commanded and several soldiers rolled out heavy weapons that fired discs into the air and they spun around sending a shower of needles towards Magneto and the other mutants. Magneto rose three heavy pieces of metal in front of him and the other mutants protecting them from the cure.
"Arclight, use your shockwaves target those weapons!" He shouted and Arclight nodded before Magneto dropped the protection and Arclight clapped her hands sending a shockwave out towards the soldiers and destroyed most of the cure weapons before she clapped her hands again and destroyed the rest of them. The X-Jet meanwhile was flying towards the island when they saw the bridge.
"Holy shit," Daisuke said.
"Oh my stars and garters," Hank said.
"Going to stealth mode," Cyclops said as he activated the stealth mode and the jet became invisible.
"What about jets and tanks?" The president asked Trask.
"Against Magneto sir? He'd turn them inside out," He answered.
"Where are out ground troops?" The president asked.
"Thirty minutes away," Trask answered.
"Then God help us all," The President said as back at Alcatraz the mutants charged the defenceless soldiers while Magneto watched on in approval, one mutant breathed a cloud at some soldiers and set them on fire. Callisto suddenly looked up as she heard the X-Jet approach and land on the roof. The mutants continued to charge before the sky darkened and lightning bolts hit the ground in front of the mutants as Storm floated down, Beast then jumped off the roof and landed in a crouch while Bobby and Kitty jumped down together and sunk through the ground before popping back up.
"Don't ever do that again," Bobby said and Kitty nodded. Colossus then landed and he created a crater from it before he ran off. Mizu slid down on an ice slide with Takato following her, Cyclops and Jean both floated down to the ground, Yuriko and Logan both used their claws to slow their fall to the ground and Daisuke jumped down and landed on the ground just as Storm landed on the ground as well.
"You men cover the doors!" Daisuke told the soldiers. "Everyone get together! And hold this line!" She shouted at the X-Men who all looked at her and they nodded.
"Traitors to their own cause," Magneto said to himself as he looked at Daisuke who was looking at Kari and she flexed her hands. "Finish them!" Magneto shouted and the mutants all charged at the X-Men and Beast roared loudly as the mutants ran at the X-Men.
"Timber!" Logan shouted as he cut a light pole and it fell down on top of several mutants. Beast jumped into the air and he crashed into some mutants before he scratched them with his claws and he jumped onto a pole and swung around it and flew into several more mutants knocking them down before he attacked another one. Magneto looked at Quill and Arclight who both walked off, Storm flew into the air and Callisto smirked as she sped up to the roof of the building and jumped onto Storm and sent her to the ground.
Bobby created an ice wall and several mutants ran into it and were knocked down, Pyro took a few steps before Magneto stopped him.
"Not yet," he said, Callisto sped at Storm and kicked her in the gut before kneeing her in the face and then punching her, she then spat at Storm before speeding towards her again but Storm delivered a punch knocking her down. Colossus punched two mutants and knocked them out while another one ran at Kitty but she passed through him and grabbed him by the neck and slammed him to the ground.
"Behind you!" Takato shouted to his sister as he sent a fireball at the mutant behind her and she smiled at him before she sent an ice beam at a mutant who was sneaking up behind her brother and he nodded to her.
Daisuke meanwhile was punching and kicking at mutants before she saw more coming and she growled. "Double Access!" She shouted.
"Quicksilver's super speed and Colossus's organic steel activated," The voice in her head said and she sped off and punched each mutant and when she stopped she stood in the middle of twenty mutants all out cold.
"Go inside and find the boy. And kill him," Magneto said to Juggernaut.
"With pleasure," He replied before he ran off and started to build momentum.
"Hold it!" Some soldiers shouted but he bowled through them, before he jumped on a truck and into the building.
"He's going for the boy!" Beast shouted.
"Not if I get there first!" Kitty shouted before running towards the building.
"Kitty!" Logan shouted before he got knocked down by a mutant before the mutant was blasted by Cyclops's optic blast.
"Come on. Up you get," Cyclops told Logan helping him back up.
"They just keep coming!" Logan shouted stabbing another mutant with his claws.
"Let's hope Kitty finds the kid before that guy does," Cyclops said blasting another mutant with an optic blast.
