When I got to the port it was just like how I pictured it a group a preteens shooting at me with AK-47s until somebody decided to throw a grenade I caught it in midair before throwing it back and diving behind a jet while it exploded. Although it knocked out five of them it still wasn't enough to even my odds. While a few of the kids were reloading their guns another group moved closer to the jet. I reached out grabbed one of guns and shoved my elbow into a guy's face knocking him down before kicking him out cold. The teenagers hesitated before shooting again but I had already emptied out the chamber and threw the around of bullets at one girls throat before hitting her out cold. I ducked and dodged several bullets before hitting everybody out with gun before throwing it on the ground, "STRYKER!? I'M DONE PLAYING GAMES!" I yelled before getting shot in the shoulder
"I had a feeling you would say that." Trent said walking up to me while reloading a 22 caliber pistol
I put my hand over my healing shoulder until I felt the bullet fall out, "I knew you would be here but I didn't think you'd use a gun on me." I said throwing the bullet at him, "Why don't you fight me straight up?" I asked
"Cause I'm the motherfucker with the gun." He answered aiming at my head
"Yeah. You were always great at that but it's sad that you fuck better than you fight." I mocked
"I'll always held back but now I might reconsider." He said
"Oh sure you were holding back but what's stopping you now? Fight me one on one right here. Right now. Let's see who's really the best." I said moving my shoulder around
"Fine!" He yelled lowering the gun
"Hey! No weapons kick it away." I said
Trent gritted his teeth and sighed with a slight growl under his breath like Stryker would before sitting the gun on the ground and kicking across the room, "No powers." He said
I raised my hands before getting into a fighting stands while Trent watched eventually getting into a fighting stands of his own. We both raced up to each other and while Trent tried to land the first blow but I kept ducking and dodging until I grabbed his fists. When I was holding his fist I noticed how they trembled under the slightest pressure if squeezed his hands any harder every bone in his hands would break. But that didn't stop him from shoving his knee into my chest and kicking me in the face. He tried to hit me with a left hook but I blocked it with my left arm and counter it with strong right straight punch to the stomach before hitting him with an uppercut and knocking him over with left hook. He stumbled on his feet and rubbed his cheek before tackling me down and throwing punches I moved my head at the last second so his fist landed into the floorboards. I punched him in the mouth endlessly with right hooks before rolling over on top of him and as soon as I was about to deliver the final blow I found myself staring at his fading blue eyes. He shut his eyes tightly and started shaking his head from side to side mumbling to himself.
"Trent? Trent? Baby is that you?" I asked keeping his head still stroking his cheek and trying to making out the words his was mumbling, "Come back to me please. Say something." I said
Trent slowly opened his eyes and mumbled gritting his teeth, "G...g...g..go. A...away." He barely said
I didn't wanna believe he was talking to me until he said it again but than again I didn't noticed the syringe he was holding behind my back. He kept on telling me to 'Go away' 'Move' or 'Leave' but I wasn't listening I was convinced it was another one of Stryker tricks meanwhile behind me Trent was trying to keep the syringe from pricing into my back. The tip of the needle was less than an inch away from my skin but Trent's trembling hand couldn't keep it away for long. Frustrated with me Trent closed his eyes and continued his inner battle against Stryker's control.
"Don't go. Come back please come back." I begged shaking him awake
When he did open his eyes they were a dull white even when he was rolling them to the back of his head. He started breathing in at a rapid rate and grabbed my wrist tightly squeezing it as if he was trying to tell me something eventually he inhaled a deep breath of air before slowly exhaling. I didn't start to panic until I felt his grip loosen up on my arm and his body finally relaxed like it was in a peaceful state of mind. There was a long pause as I snapped out of shocked and search for a pulse until he snapped awake, "MOVE!" He yelled at the top of his lungs while pushing me out the way and stabbing himself with the syringe before screaming his head off.
I looked at him while he yelling and curling up in the fetal position slowly going insane as the nanites took control once more. Eventually his endless agonizing scream of pain and torment turned into a sick twisted laughter of a psychopath. He crawled up to his feet with a smile on his face like the Joker masking the pain he was hiding, "DAVENPORT! I Am Tired Of Dealing With You! This Time I'm Gonna Break Your Fucking Neck And Watch As The Light Drain Out Of Your Eyes!" He yelled before leaning his head over to avoid a bullet
He glanced over at Michael before Scott fired a laser beam at him while Logan charged in after the beam. Trent used his bare hands to deflect the beam before dodging Logan's sharp claws and started fighting back. Michael and Scott kept shooting at Trent from time to time while he was fighting Logan Laura Kurt and Kitty all at once. Jean and Nina was trying to get me out of shock and out the room but I wasn't moving I couldn't breath I couldn't do anything expect staring at him.
"SNAP OUT OF IT!" Nina yelled slapping me so hard I spaced out of a second, "That's not the man you fell in love. He's gone alright!? Gone! So unless you can figure out away to bring him back we're Fucked." She said
"How am I supposed to do that?" I sadly asked
"You're smart figure it out cause if you don't we'll have no choice but end this permanently." She said
I glanced at everything around me before noticing the reverse tasers Trent's undying anger and loyalty to Stryker and I saw my reflection in a piece of medal, "I Got It! Thanks Sissy." I said before quickly kissing her cheek and racing up into the fight
"What the fuck was that?" She asked staring at me while Jean was finally allowed to read my mind
"Get you're taser ready now!" She replied telepathically sending the message around to everybody else
Laura and Michael back flipped out the way and into hiding while Trent was fighting Kurt until he disappeared on a rail nearby. Logan countered Trent's left hook before uppercutting him back a few steps while Kitty made him stink into the floorboards. While he was trying to escape I came over and signaled everybody to give me a minute.
"Trent if you're there...can you please come back?" I asked watching him struggling to escape eventually giving up and passing out from exhaustion
I carefully walked up to him and lead his head back before he opened his eyes and started choking me with that smile on his face. I grabbed hold of his wrist before absorbing the electricity right out of him, "NOW!" I yelled in my mind
"FIRE!" Jean yelled before everybody shot their tasers at him
Once I started absorbing his electricity I couldn't stop even when he let go of my neck or when the neon blue designs slowly faded away and he started to scream out. As soon as he started yelling Nina gave the signal to stop but I wasn't paying attention as a matter of fact I did the exact opposite and drained even more power of out of him. When I first got my powers I had good control sure I stole out of a few ATMs but we needed the money anyway the only time I Ever loose control is when I'm absorbing electricity. So after I caused the northeast black out in 2003 I swore I wasn't gonna absorbed power ever again but his power was completely different. It gave me an adrenaline rush that I couldn't refuse so once I started taking it was damn near impossible for me to stop until I felt prongs on the left and right side of my temple.
"Don't lose yourself now." Michael said
"If you stop now we won't have to drain you too. Let him go Sissy." Nina said
When I heard their voices I slowly came back and let go of Trent before realizing just how much I had taken. He looked pale white his eyes showed a lack luster green color and he's breathing was way off like he quickly inhaled two breaths of air before exhaling slowly. Kitty carefully pulled him out the floorboards and laid him down on his back before prompting his head up on her knee. He looked like he hadn't eaten in years his bones were so brittle and fragile even the slightest movement would cause something to break and his skin looked like someone glued it on him.
"D...d...do you think he's gonna be alright?" I asked pulling out the prongs and walking up to him
"I don't know. He's really weak right now." Jean answered carefully examining his body, "He wants you to come closer and even though he isn't saying that he's yelling it in his mind." She said
I moved closer and before I could say or do anything he very lightly grabbed hold of my hand and gave me this honest sincere look. I couldn't help but stare at him, "Can you tell me what is he thinking?" I asked
"Alexis I...I'm dying. It's not you're fault I think I was already dead until I heard your voice. I never meant to hurt you or anybody else for that matter. I just wanted you to be free to happy to be loved. I don't blame you for doing what you did so you shouldn't blame yourself. Yeah I can say I did this for all of you but it'll be a lie. I did it for you and you only..." Jean said on Trent's behalf before he started coughing up the nanites and blood, "Promise me you guys will end this so no one else has to suffer like I have. I love you guys despite everything. Michael you're always my dumbass little brother and Nina keep protecting your big sis the only way you can and Alexis...I'll always be in love with you whether it's in this life of the next because I'll always love you more than myself." She said while he inhaled a deep breath of air
"Good...bye." He softly said before giving in
"I love you." I said closing his eyes and lightly kissing him goodbye
"Can't we do something to bring him back? What about the tasers?" Kitty suggested
"That wouldn't be enough electricity to reboot him especially since he got the upgrade multiple times." Nina answered
"The last time he took it to protect me from Stryker's control." I said wiping my eyes
"We should get going we have a promise to keep." Michael said taking off Trent's watch and putting on his wrist, "This is for you bro." He said
I cleared my throat to avoid my voice from cracking up, LEt's go." I barely said with my voice cracking up regardless
