It's just not turn four am and the full moon still stood in the middle of the sky. Everybody in the house was peacefully asleep blissfully unaware of a man wearing all black running directly into the fusebox outside the house. The electricity flicked on and off so quick nothing seemed to changed not even the times on the clocks in the rooms but the security system and cameras were down. The unwanted visitor resurfaced in the garage racing up to the elevator that led into the X-men's training grounds. He pulled out a copy of Professor's access card hoping it would work before sliding it in the slot and waiting for the doors to open. As soon as they did he stepped inside and pushed a button before the doors closed and started taking him down. Meanwhile the Professor's dreaming slowly became a hellish nightmare as he started to toss and turn mumbling to himself while sweat appear on his skin eventually waking up to reality. Concerned about the safety of his students Charles decided have a look around but during his scroll through the hallway he could overhear the thoughts of someone else in the house.
"God what the in world am I doing here? This is wrong these people are my friends but if I don't do this I could lose everything again. Maybe if I tell them they could help. Not after selling them out and stealing from them. I don't think Stryker is even gonna give me the contracts back. But he has to I'm doing everything he asked for even betraying the people that gave us a chance. FOUCS! Get Cerebro get out. Get Cerebro get out. Get Cerebro get the fuck out." The voice said before fading away
Professor Xavier quickly made his way back to his room and used a hidden elevator to try to get to Cerebro before the intruder. As soon as the elevator doors open the figure instantly ran passed everything until he appeared in front of the safe door. Trent pulled off his mask and slammed his hand on the keypad while slowly changing his eye color to immediate the Professor's dark brown hue. After jamming the keypad and tricking the retina scanner into believing that he was the Professor the safe door cracked openned. Trent carefully walked in and glanced down at the endless fall under the platform and two person walk way.
"That's a long way down." Trent mumbled before running to the edge
He looked around the control panel and fiddled with a few buttons before accidently turning it on. He looked at the helmet that was sitting on the edge of the panel and pick it up thinking whether to put it on or not.
"Put It On!" Stryker's voice echoed inside Trent's head
Trent glanced around before slowly putting the helmet down and started backing away towards the safe door. He made it to the middle of the walkway before his legs gave out and caused him to fall. He tried to crawl towards the exited but the pain of the nanites came back with a force. While Trent struggled to gain control of his body he felt the nanites eating away at his nervous system taking over his bloodstream forcing his mind to shut down his emotions and removing all his memories the only thing that was there was Stryker's voice ordering him what to do. When the Professor finally made it down to underground training room he felt a powerful pressure forcing him to hear millions of people at once and he wasn't the only to feel the wrath as Jean started to wake up too.
"Who are you and what do you want?" He asked staring at man with Cerebro on his head
Trent turned around with his solar blue veins sticking up from his skin his eyes were solar blue with a red retina in the right eye analyzing over the Professor while a dark neon blue design formed on the left side of his face, "No witnesses." He said before moving towards the Professor
Jean Scott Kitty Kurt Rogue Logan and Orora all jumped up by the sound of the Professor's blood curling scream echoing through their heads. Jean Logan and Orora ran towards the elevator Rogue went to Kitty who using the bed as a drivingbored and absorbed some of her powers before diving behind her through the floorboards and Kurt grabbed Scott before teleporting down to the training room. Everybody met up in front of the safe door before busting in and frozed in fear watching Trent holding the on conscious Professor on the edge of the platform inches away from the endless fall.
"Trent put him down!" Scott yelled
"What the hell are you doing Bub?!" Logan asked
"Yeah. What are you doing? Let him go!" Kitty yelled
"You have to listen to us and let him go." Orora said
"Wait a minute something is wrong with him." Rogue said
"What do you mean?" Kurt asked
"Just look at him." She answered
Everybody noticed how Trent was staring at them everything with him was empty like anything that made different and unique was missing. While everybody was talking Trent was wondering what to do next, "Repeat exactly what I say." Stryker's voice said
"There's someone else in his head." Jean said
"Stay The Hell Outta My Head!" Trent yelled, "You think we actually give a damn about you guys? This Was Nothing But A Job! We were here get Cerebro and leave that's it. If it wasn't for Alexis distracting me I would have been able get it. No one had to get hurt but she decided this and if you don't believe me ask her yourself." He said throwing the Professor's body towards them and grabbing Cerebro before jumping off the edge.
Jean used her telekinesis to catch the Professor and gently pulled him towards her while Kurt dived after Trent. Trent turned around on his stomach in a free falling stands while Kurt did the same trying to catch up to him. As soon as Kurt reached out for his pants leg Trent openned a small portal and quickly closed it after he went through leaving Kurt in the free fall before he teleported back on the platform.
"He got away." Kurt said trying to catch his breath
Orora checked the Professor for a pulse Jean checked for brain waves Kitty examined him for any injuriesd the guys decided to looked around the house for any signs of Trent while Rogue made some phonecalls.
I groaned barely waking up out my sleep to answer phone after knocking down just about everything on my nightstand I eventually came across the annoying thing, "Hello?" I answered still half asleep
"Warren canceled the trip the Professor is hurt Trent has lost his fucking mind everybody knows about us and if you don't get your ass out of bed and meet up with me and Michael at the school they will drive up to the house bust down the door and carry your necked ass out of bed you got 45 minutes before that happens." Nina quickly said before hanging up
I stared at the phone for a second trying to process what the hell she just said before noticing the flashdrive was missing. After a frantic search a fifteen minute shower and change of clothes I forced myself to break my promise with Trent and went to Xavier's school. When I got there everything was so quite is was a cause for concern even when I got inside it was like I was the only one there, "HELLO! ANYBODY HERE?!" I yelled while my voice echoed through the house.
I continued to look around the school until I saw the Professor in the infirmary surrounded by everybody.
"Trent put him in a comma and told us that you knew about this. Is that true?" Jean asked standing behind me
"No one was supposed to get hurt that's a violation of our code and that wasn't Trent who attacked the Professor you out of everybody know that. We need to gather up everybody in the main hall we have some explaining to do." I said walking pass her to the front
~ Meanwhile Back At Stryker's Hideout ~
Trent walked into Stryker's office holding Cerebro in his hands while Stryker was clapping to his success. After having a person come in from the research and development department come in and take Cerebro to the building were they're working on the Sentinels he pulled Trent into a hall of weapons.
"Captain Garcia you have a special assignment that will not only test you're loyalty but you're commitment to this organization understand?" He asked
"Yes Sir." Trent answered before looking over the files in front of him
"A premonition to General comes with mission a long with five hundred Sentinel suites at your disposal. I need you to have no form of compassion for the mutants and offer an immediate surrender to your former squad. If they don't comply or refuse to surrender execute them on sight. Do you accepted this mission?" He asked
Trent held up a picture of all of us together before balling it up, "Yes Sir." He replied throwing it away
"How soon can you leave?" He asked
"Immediately." Trent replied
~ Back At The School ~
"So now everybody knows everything. Why we're different. Why I told you guys to stay away from the upgrade. Why Trent did what he did. He's coming back I know it problem is that he's gonna come back to kill us all." I said
"So you sold out the love of you life to Stryker to protect yourself?" Nina asked
"If I was me under Stryker's control you'd be dead ALL of you would be dead by now. You guys wouldn't even stand a chance." I said
"But we do against Trent?" Mike asked
"I could always take him down in a fair fight even if he wasn't holding back." I said
"This Is Bull Crap!" Rogue yelled getting up
"It's the truth." I said
"Why should we believe you? Why is this even our fight when we didn't do anything wrong? You got us involved in this you can get us out." She said
I nodded before walking towards the window, "If you don't believe me maybe you'll believe her." I said before opening it and whistled for Laura to come in
"Hey guys. Ummmm long time no see." She said with half hearted smile
"What are you doing here?" Jean asked
"She's here to warn us about Stryker's plans to take over the world. She's the one who told me about the upgrade the Sentinels and everything else." I answered
"That's only the tip of the iceberg. Stryker is hunting down former agents to give them the upgrade he's creating an army but first he's gonna take out his most powerful rival mutants. Wether you guys wanted to be a part of this or not this was always gonna be your fight." She said
"Where's Marko I thought he was coming with you?" I asked
"He's with Stryker but before he got captured he left these blueprints a video file and his version of the upgrade for you guys." She said laying everything out the table
While Mike and Nina were giving themselves the upgrade with a little help from Hank McCoy everybody else was looking over the blueprints with Laura and I was trying to see if I can showcase Marko's last transmission, "Everybody get in here now!" I yelled while everybody raced into livingroom
"If you guys got this than Laura came through. Stryker has completely lost it but I managed to steal some of the blueprints of the Sentinels and new reverse tasers. The Sentinels isn't remote controled they're suites control by androids ages 10 through 15. He's also working with Senator Kelly but as soon as he wiped out all the mutants on earth he's gonna enslave the human race ages 15 through 20. 20 and older will not only hold government power hostage but they'll be in charge of android army ages 10 and under. Alexis that day when Amanda attacked you he was testing his theory on human emotions and morality and you gave him the answer he needed. My upgrade counteracts his nanites the reverse tasers can shut down any android system but the tasers I gave you can reactivate the system. I don't know if the nanites will reactivate or not so take caution. I gotta go." Marko said grabbing some guns and moving away while gun shots echoed in the background before the video ended
"Holy Shit. We're in trouble." Michael said
"Not if we work together." Jean suggested
"That's the best idea I've heard all day it's only a matter of time before Stryker sends Trent or Max after us." I said
"What makes you so sure about that?" Rogue asked unaware that a light red beam was moving around on her shirt
"Wait Rogue stay still for a second." Michael said staring at her
"Why? What's wrong?" She asked
"Please tell us you activated your security system." Nina said staring at Rogue
"Why are you guys looking at me like that?" She asked glancing between them
"Oh Fuck. HE'S HERE!" I yelled
"EVERYBODY GET DOWN!" Nina yelled while Michael tackled Rogue out the way of a bullet
After that one bullet missed its target it seemed like a million guns went off at once. Everybody scrambled around on the floor expected Logan and Laura who tried moving towards the window to see what's going on. As soon as they made it near the window a huge explosion knocked them back against the wall.
"Hold Your Fire!" Trent yelled walking in pass the rumble, "Freaks Of Nature This Is You're Only Warning Mine Your Own Business Or Be Killed On Sight. Nina Brown Michael Jamal Holmes and Alexis Jordan Davenport surrender now and none of your friends get executed!" He yelled
"Stryker You're A Fucking Asshole!" I yelled from my hiding spot
Trent smirked and reloaded his sniper, "I think can live with that." He said before shooting the couch I was hiding behind
"How does it feel to still be living in you're father's shadow?!" I yelled moving away and pulling out the reverse taser
"You will not distract me from the mission at hand." He said shooting again near Nina
"I Call Bull Shit On Your Deal!" Nina yelled moving towards Laura and grabbing the reverse taser from her
"It's the best deal these fucking weirdos are ever gonna get...for now at least." He muttered shooting near Michael's head
Michael instantly moved out the way and crawled near the edge of the couch, "Bro this isn't right and you know it! Fight Stryker's control we'll fight with you but you have to try." He said
"And how are you gonna do that?" He asked
Michael ran up from behind the couch and grabbed Trent in a full nelson before me and Nina shot the reverse tasers at him. He quickly tripped Micheal off his feet before the prongs could get to him and landed back first on top of the table. Me and Nina almost got each other but my aim was off by a few inches and I had ducked before they reached me. Trent grabbed Michael by the back of his shirt and dragged outside before throwing him to one the Sentinels waiting outside. The Sentinal instantly drained Michael's power and if it wasn't for Scott shooting its head off Michael would've been done for.
"I told you freaks to stay out of this! Alpha squad fire on my mark!" He yelled raising his hand up
The Sentinels all lined up and had taken aim while Kurt quickly teleported over and grabbed Michael before reappearing beside Jean.
"Are you really gonna kill us...Trent?" I asked staring directly in his eyes
Trent's arm tremble a little when he tried to signal the attack, "Let. It. Go." Stryker said eventually gaining control and putting it down, "FIRE!" He yelled
The Sentinels quickly redirected its aim and fired at each other until the agents controlling the suits abandoned ship. Trent hopped on one of the suits before it exploded and launched him into the air where a helicopter was waiting. He grabbed a ladder that was hanging outside of it before straighting himself out, "This Isn't Over!" He yelled
"Not by a long shot Stryker." I mumbled watching him
"What are we gonna go with them?" Laura asked pointing at four passed out kids hanging in a tree by a parachute
"Kurt get them down and take them to the infirmary. Me Jean Orora and Hank will take care of their injuries and remove the nanites safety. Sissy see if you can rewrite all the codes to all the sentinels again like you did these four and will somebody Please wake Michael up!?" I yelled walking to the back
