X-Mansion Under Attack : Part 4
POV : Nightwing
The impact sends Omega Red smashing into the ground while Wild Child leaps aside to avoid Cyclops's attack. Before Wild Child could escape any further, Storm came flying down from the X-Mansion's rooftop and struck Wild Child down with a bolt of lightning.
"Oi! You guys could have hit me!" I complained as I glanced towards Cyclops and Storm.
"They attack our home so the gloves are off!" Cyclops argued back and continued firing blast after blast in Omega Red's direction who is still down on the ground. Storm on the other hand, smiled slightly and started gathering her lightning power in the sky.
"Damn it! Fight us like a man!" Omega Red shouted back angrily while trying his best to avoid Cyclops's attacks by leaping from side to side.
"We're no man, we're mutants!!" Storm declared proudly before unleashing blasts of lightning directed towards the Omega Red and Wild Child. Storm's lightning attack continuously strikes them sending electricity running through their body until they fall to the ground unconscious.
I quickly rush to their side and attach X-gene power suppressor handcuffs on the villains before they could recover. Suddenly blasts of yellow energy came out of nowhere and struck Cyclops's chest sending him crashing into the mansion.
"Scott!" Marvel Girl shouted in concern.
"That is for sending me flying like baseball!" Maverick said angrily as he approached us from the shadows.
"Now it is time for round two!" Maverick said as he gestured to me to fight with him.
As I was going to answer him, Storm interrupted saying "Not gonna happen!" as she unleashed lightning attacks towards Maverick. Maverick braces himself and blocked her attacks by crossing his arms in front of him.
"Hey, are you sure you guys need any help!" I grumbled softly to myself feeling slightly annoyed that the X-Men kept jumping in to steal my opponents.
"You are not going to hurt my friends and family ever again!" Storm shouted as she delivered her lightning attacks one after another towards Maverick with each word spoken.
"Stop annoying me, bitch!" Maverick answered back as he started gathering energy blast in his hand in preparation to fire in Storm's direction.
Before Maverick could deliver his attack, I threw my wingding towards his hand. The wingding struck his hand causing him to miss his target (Storm). The energy beams slammed into the side of the building sending debris and dust flying all over the place.
Marvel Girl created a mental barrier to protect Shadowcat and herself.
"No more energy blast! Let me deal with him!" I shouted as I charged towards Maverick.
Maverick smirked as he quickly drew out a dagger in his left hand and a pistol on his right hand. As I approach Maverick, he continues firing his pistol in my direction which I easily avoid by leaning from side to side.
Reaching striking distance, Maverick attempts to stab his dagger into my chest while replacing the pistol in his right hand with a dagger. I leap over his attack while striking my electric sticks with my left hand towards Maverick's head.
Maverick leans back to avoid my attack and says "I am gonna kill you!" as he thrust his dagger forward to impale me.
I grinned in response as we continued striking at each other with attacks at astonishing speed and power.
The X-Men could only watch in shock and awe as we continue our close quarter combat while moving from one corner to another. I keep diverted Maverick's attacks and try to waste his energy by not attacking his body.
Maverick lunged forward with his daggers in an attempt to slice me into ribbons. Our weapons continue clashing as we strike, slash, parry and block each other's attacks. Maverick sliced his dagger towards my throat which I easily avoided by back flipped away.
"Why won't you give up!" Maverick grunted as he brought his two daggers downward to my body.
I block his blades with the stick in my left hand and with the stick in my right arm, I disarm him of his daggers by slamming my stick hard at his wrist causing Maverick's wrist bones to break.
Maverick stumbled backward and grunted in pain before retaliating with a powerful kick towards my stomach. I avoided his kick by stepping aside and I attached the power suppressor handcuff on his leg before webbing him up into a cocoon.
"You don't know who you're messing with?" Maverick said angrily as he struggled to release himself.
"Don't worry, I will find it out myself so Good Night!" I answered as I punched him hard in the jaw sending him collapsing to the ground unconscious.
I turned my attention back to the X-Men saying "You guys alright?" before turning around to watch the badly damaged X-Mansion, the burning fire of the surrounding forest and the burning wreckage.
Storm approaches me saying "Thank you, Nightwing!" before frowning sadly to herself as she glanced at the many soldiers who were either dead or out of commission.
"Your help today is greatly appreciated but Charles will be disappointed to see that we have to use lethal force to deal with these intruders" Storm said before sighing to herself sadly.
"They deserve it!" Cyclops answered as he looked at the surroundings to make sure that the area was safe.
"They really wrecked our home" Jean said sadly as she looked at the damages.
After a short moment of silence, Shadowcat spoke up "Err...By the way, have you guys seen Nightcrawler?".
"He is alright. Currently he is admiring Nightwing's vehicle. From what I could gather, it seems that he is in love" said Professor Xavier as he slowly approached us in his wheel chair with Wolverine, Beast and the students following him from behind.
"Professor" Marvel Girl shouted in relief as she and the remaining X-Men gathered around their mentor.
"It is over…we are safe now" Professor Xavier said reassuringly to help comfort the X-Men.
"Professor what should we do with the mansion? It is destroyed" Shadowcat asked as she stared at the building.
Storm pushed Professor Xavier chair forward as he said "It is just a building, It can be rebuilt. The east wing is completely damaged but the rest of the facilities are still intact. For now we will stay at the Danger Room until I get my friend to help with the mansion repairs".
Clearing my throat to get everyone's attention, I said "If you need a place to stay, I have several safe houses available for you".
"Thanks for your offer Nightwing but I don't want us to burden you" Professor Xavier replied with a smile.
"No worries! We are friends. I am just giving you guys a helping hand" I answered back casually.
"Thank you, Nightwing. We will take up your offer. Everyone pack up, just bring your necessities" Professor Xavier said thankfully before glancing at his students.
The group nodded in agreement as they all went to get their stuff after thanking me for helping them out.
"I will send you the address on the Wingwave" I said as I took out my Wingwave and sent them the address.
As the group slowly dispersed, Wolverine could be seen deep in thought. Professor Xavier approached him and waited patiently by his side while I made sure the villain's restraints were secured.
Wolverine feeling annoyed by Professor Xavier's presence said "What do you want Chuck?".
"What is troubling you, Logan?" Professor Xavier asked concernedly.
Wolverine turned toward Professor Xavier said "There is something the soldier said about me being one of them. It is bugging me!"
Professor Xavier remained silent as he read Wolverine's mind before saying "I am sure we will find out sooner or later. Since they attacked us, they will surely return. I will read their minds to find out what they know".
I approached them saying "Keep me in the loop, I will help out as much as I can"
"Thanks but you have done so much for us" Professor X answered while slightly embarrassed.
Waving my hand, I said "By the way, you guys don't have to wait for them. Once you rest up we can bring the fight to them".
Wolverine turned abruptly at me and said "What do you mean?"
"I place a tracker on them. They will of course relocate their base since we capture their soldiers but I will keep an eye on them" I answered with a smirk.
Wolverine grabbed me by the shoulder excitedly said "Since the first time I have met you, I know we will be great pals. Once we regroup let's give them hell!"
Ignoring Wolverine, I glance at Professor Xavier saying "Oh ya, Professor. Do you want to call SHIELD to help with the cleanup?".
Professor Xavier looked at me with a surprise expression and said "You know Nick Fury?".
"It is a long story but yes" I answered as I quickly escaped from Wolverine's grasp.
"I see... I will call him after dealing with them first..." Professor Xavier replied as he rolled his wheelchair towards the intruders and placed his hand on Maverick's, Wild Child's and Omega Red's head one after another to read their mind.
After a few minutes, Professor Xavier gathered his thought said "They are from an organization call Weapon Plus. They have been acting illegally and not doing their activities for any government interests. It seems they have been doing illegal experiments on mutants and humans for quite some time"
"What do they know about me?" Wolverine asked nervously.
Professor Xavier took a deep breath and answered "It seems that you underwent experimentation to become their weapon but you have escaped their custody"
Wolverine remained silent as Professor Xavier continued speaking slowly "They called you Weapon X".
