Magneto's Ideals

X-Mansion

Everyone in the mansion's lobby room is in a celebration mood after finding out that Rogue is able to touch again, Rogue didn't shy away as she hugged everyone in joy as she enjoyed every moment. Glancing at Nightwing who stood at the back, Rogue blushed slightly as she remembered her bold action of kissing him..

While all of this is happening Charles and Hank pull Scott aside in the room as they explain about how the device that helps Rogue can help him too.

After listening to their explanation Scott in surprise said "It can help me too?" For years Scott only had to see his surroundings through his special ruby quartz glasses (help control Scott's optic blast) at varying shades of red, the chance to see the world with his own eyes again is his greatest dream and hope.

...

POV : Nightwing

As all of this is happening, my spider sense warns me of danger approaching from outside of the mansion. I quickly approach Charles saying "Keep everyone inside, something does not feel right" as I exit the room.

Logan overheard what I said look at me suspiciously before he became startled as he could smell a certain scent in the air. Recognizing the scent, Logan growled in anger as he quickly followed me.

Before exiting the lobby Logan urgently said "Chuck, bring the students to the Danger room now! Magneto and Sabertooth are here!"

...

Exiting the mansion we saw two men standing in front of X-Mansion' driveway. First one is Magneto the leader of the mutants that wanted to rule mankind and he is a mutant with the power to manipulate magnetic fields to achieve a wide range of effects. He is dressed in a red and purple costume with a helmet.

While the other is Sabertooth aka Victor Creed who is Magneto's loyal follower and he has similar abilities with Logan except he is stronger compared to Wolverine and he does not not have admantium skeleton. He is wearing army pants and boots with fur all over his body.

At our appearance Sabretooth growls instantly "Logan" as Logan growled back "Sabertooth" as Logan's claws came out and Logan rushed towards them. Magneto waves his hand causing Logan to stand at the same spot unable to move.

Magneto turned to Sabretooth and ordered "Keep anyone else away, I need to have a private conversation with Nightwing".

"With pleasure" Sabertooth replied as he couldn't wait to kill Logan once and for all but he decided to obey Magneto.

"Nightwing. I am Magneto, I would like you to listen to my offer" Magneto said as he stared at me.

Logan shouted "Don't listen to him..."

Magneto interrupted by using his power to keep Logan's jaw close. (Logan's skeleton is admantium, metallic material).

"What is it?" I asked to look at Magneto who is floating in the air.

"I come here as your friend not your enemy. You see, both of us are not like other humans. We are better than them. We are the future. Rather than wasting your time to help them and meet their needs, we could just do whatever we want. Join me and we can assume our rightful place as rulers." Magneto said temptingly as he smirked.

"What about humans or non-human super-powered people?" I asked curiously.

"What about them? Humans are weak and from weakness they will soon come to fear. Rather than waiting for them to go against us, we could just enslave them" Magneto said in contempt "Non human super powered people on the other hand, must join our cause too or else they will be destroyed".

"Professor Xavier said that we could co-exist with humans and live in peace" I replied.

Magneto snorted his nose saying "Charles is an idealist, he sees the best in people. Even though I admire him greatly, I am a realist. I have seen the darkness in the human heart. There can never be peace between humans and mutants. They will either fear us and try to destroy us or experiment on us to find out how our abilities work and use us as weapons"

Without waiting for my response, Magneto continued his speech as he gestured toward Logan "Logan is one of the weapons that they have experimented on to destroy us. That leaves us with only one choice to ensure the survival of our race, we must strike first".

Logan is struggling to move then he receives a telepathic call from Charles "We have brought all the students to safety, how are things over there".

Logan replied using his mind "Magneto is doing his sales pitch to Nightwing. Hurry!" Logan continued to struggle against Magneto's ability.

"We are on our way" Charles replied telepathically.

Magneto with confidence looked at me and asked "So what do you say?"

"I am not a mutant" I replied which Magneto replied "It is okay if you believe in our cause. So will you join us?".

Looking at Magneto, I replied "No. I believe we need to show mankind that by working together, we will be able to achieve greatness. At first they might fear or hate but over time I believe over time we will come to an understanding and accomplish great wonders".

Magneto responded "Pity, you are just like Charles". Magneto extended his hand towards me sending all metallic material including Logan flying towards me like arrows as Magneto flew further away from me. Logan is sent crashing into the mansion as more metallic material flies around Magneto.

Avoid all the materials aimed at me, I rush towards Magneto trying to close the distance.Magneto seeing that his surprised attack failed, called out "Sabretooth, stop him".

Sabretooth came jump towards me and aimed a punch towards my face as I was busy avoiding Magneto's attack at the same time. Logan shouted "I hate this!"as Magneto sent Logan flying towards me again.

Avoiding all the attacks, I grab Sabretooth's fist and throw him towards Magneto sending both of them crashing into each other as they fall to the ground in a tangled heap. Logan drops to the ground as Magneto's hold on him is also released.

Pushing Sabretooth away Magneto roared "Enough!" as he raised one of his hands bringing more metallic materials flying around him before throwing them towards me.

Using my agility and flexibility I avoided all the attack by jumping and ducking all the attack as I ran towards him. Landing in front of Magneto, I delivered a punch towards his chest sending him smashing through several trees in the mansion's compound.

Sabretooth stood up quickly, attacking me by swinging his arms and claws. I dodged all his attacks and countered with a quick series of punches striking both his stomach and face sending him staggering backward.

"Logan" I yelled "Your turn" as I punched Sabretooth flying towards Logan.

"Nice" Logan replied as he dug his legs into the ground and both his claws in front of him facing the approaching flying Sabertooth. Logan's claws sink deep into Sabretooth's chest causing Sabretooth to howl in pain before Logan throws Sabretooth into the air with a kick as he rolls backward.

Before Sabretooth fell to the ground, I quickly approached him and delivered a venom blast punch towards his face sending him crashing into the ground and creating a small crater.

Logan winced saying "He will be feeling that tomorrow"

I approach Logan, help him and say "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, but I can't say the same for Sabretooth" Logan chuckled enjoying the sight of Sabretooth being badly injured.

"I will kill you, Nightwing" Magneto roared he got back up and he slowly rose into the air.

Jean, Scott and Professor Charles Xavier quickly exited the mansion' s front door and they were shocked with what they saw.

Magneto is floating in the air and surrounding himself with the floating metallic materials flying in circles around him in varying angles.

"Eric, please stop this madness!" Charles tried to appeal to his old friend, Magneto.

"I will do what must be done Charles. He will be a huge hindrance to my cause if he lives" Magneto replied as I called out "You know I am still here right".

Several sharp objects are suddenly sent flying towards me as Magneto hopes to catch me off guard. I avoided the attacks by performing somersaults and acrobatic movement as I closed in our distance.

Jean raises a telekinetic shield around herself and Charles as Scott keeps sending out optic blasts towards Magneto. Magneto blocked Scott's attack by placing metallic objects in the way of the attacks.

"Not this again!" Logan shouted as he found himself under Magneto's control again as he was sent flying towards me again. I avoided Logan by jumping onto Logan's back and using him as a stepping stone as I jumped towards Magneto. Logan crashed into the ground.

Magneto only had a few seconds to react to the sudden attack but before Magneto could do anything, I shot my webbing towards his face blinding him.

"Wha..." Magneto struggles with the webbing on his face as I grab hold him with my left hand.

Not giving a chance for Magneto to escape, I said "I got you now" as I keep sending punches with my right hand towards his face and body. Magneto lost control of his power sending both of us crashing back into the ground. I jumped away from Magneto as he crashed into the ground and I landed safely.

Magneto badly injured quickly took the opportunity to quickly fly away at high speed and escape shouting "You will pay for what you have done today, Nightwing" leaving Sabertooth behind.

"Damn it!" I cursed to myself, slightly disappointed that I didn't catch him. I promised myself that he won't get the chance to escape again next time.

Logan growled "Pity he got away."

"Yeah" I replied "So what are you guys going to do with him?" I pointed towards Sabertooth.

Charles replied cautiously "We will help deal with his arrest. Hope that you won't look badly on mutants due to this attack"

"I understand, Charles. Both of you have differences of ideals. It is just that I don't agree with him too" I replied reassuringly. Logan grumbled softly "Nearly thought you would take his offer".

Charles gave a sigh of relief saying "Thank you, Nightwing".

"If next time you need help, you can call me anytime" I replied as he nodded his head in approval.

Looking directly at Charles, I said "I have an idea that I would like all of you to consider"

"What is it, Nightwing" Charles said calmly.

"If any of your students are interested I wish they could one day join the Defenders" I said causing Logan, Scott and Jean to look on with huge interest as I explain what The Defenders goals, purpose and requirements are.

Slowly Charles replied worriedly "I will need some time to think about it" causing Jean and Scott to look slightly annoyed.

"Sure no problem. Take all the time you need" I replied feeling excited for the future.
