CHAPTER 4:
Destiny Devoured
The powerful mutant stood in the middle of the observation deck.
'He definitely could be the catalyst, he has the power to justify it.' Charles thought to himself as they were giving a live demonstration of what someone could do if they could make space itself their plaything.
"So where to next?" the youngest in the room asked out loud before he was swarmed with questions from the teenagers including Storm.
"What do you think Chuck?"
'Either we've discovered humanity's greatest threat and mutant kind's greatest hope.' Charles thought broadcasting his mind to Hank and Logan only.
'How do you mean?'
'Mutants born in the omega range are rare, but to have that power is almost limitless applications.'
'Let's not forget we already have three Omega-level mutants in this very school, and two with the potential to reach that echelon of power,' Hank explained.
'Who?' Logan asked just to make sure they were all on the same page.
'Outside of young N'Azzari, you have Jean, Ororo and me due to a technicality.' Charles paused as he noticed the group of teens leaving the observation deck. 'The potentials are Bobby Drake, and Miss Emma Frost.'
"Technicality?"
"My experience, while I cannot match a Omega-level telepaths raw power I have my ways around defeating them."
'Sometimes I forget how shrewd you can be Chuck,' Logan thought to himself.
'And to think everyone other than you hasn't even peaked yet. We're going to be in for a troublesome few years aren't we.' Hank continued.
"And while they all have world destructive potential, that young man has the potential to reach heights beyond a world breaker."
"That level of power is too much."
"It's only a theory at this point but he can control space itself at the atomic level, when you see waves of blue he is amplifying his will over space. When you see flashes of red he reverses the amplification and space itself launches himself around super speed, he has teleportation and who knows what else. That boy is only limited by his will and imagination, and lets not forget he is only 14 years of age what will powers look like in 10 years time?" Hank spoke clearly to get his point across. "My instincts go haywire whenever his eyes glow, my instincts tell me to run to not be anywhere near this monster and it's only due to my humanity that I stand tall.
"I get it fuzzball, if the kid ever went rogue, we would be thoroughly screwed,"
"That's not even taking his secondary mutation depending on what stress he puts his body through he will grow physically stronger."
"Well then the answer is simple gentlemen we should make a good impression with a potential ally who possibly represents a nation. Charles spoke up ending the back and forth between his left and right hands
EUROPE
At the same time in Austria, a woman was tossing and turning in bed having a nightmare.
Dreamscape
'Where am I?' Irene thought as she looked down at what appeared to be a dessert. Looking around she saw nothing for miles apart from the night sky and the stars that filled it. After what seem like eternity something happened a blast of light filled the woman's vision, royal reds and vibrant golden light clashed against each exploding amazing fashion.
'It's them the prelude to the Omega war, but that's not supposed to occur yet?' Irene asked herself as he watch the two Omega level mutants continue to desolate the area with their powers.
"Come on you pathetic ant, you may boast rule over the nation but what is that compared to an Galactic Empire."
"An empire you stole Vulcan, and I think its time that I show that even though we are both Omega-level mutants, it is only in name alone that we are equal, for we are not the same, I think its high time someone shows you that there are levels to this shit." N'Azzari snarled.
Vulcans eyes narrowed as he began to channel his energy manipulation.
'I've been trying to shut off his brain ever since we crashed here. Looks like I'm going to have to go loud.' Vulcan thought as he charged his palms with pure energy and let loose two energy blasts directly at his opponent.
"Earth will join the empire and Wakanda shall burn for your arrogance!" The Current Shiar Emperor roared as he continued to launch his attack.
N'Azzari looked at the incoming beams of energy and sighed as he heard a familiar sound that the prince would never forget.
The sound of one thousand birds chirping loud and frantically.
"I should've figured you would be here," the prince muttered as he made a simple motion.
CLAP
Positions were switched the third member of this battle was in the firing line of Vulcan's energy beams and the prince was standing in the ditch his former best friend just crawled out of.
The third member dropped the electricity from their hands and threw up a psionic shield, to block incoming blasts.
"So, you're trying this again Kevin didn't you learn your lesson last time after I left you buried in Mount Everest." N'Azzari was insulted as he stared down the newcomer as he blocked dual energy beams until they dissipated.
CLAP
Vulcan's eyes widened as he heard the clap.
N'Azzari just clasped his hands together after making the clap in a familiar hand seal from his previous life before vanishing only displacing the air in his wake.
'Wait I haven't moved and the parasite is still there?' Vulcan thought as he panicked from his position in the sky. Looking around frantically until noticed a shadow block the full moon's light.
'Above!' Vulcan's head snapped up "Oh shit," were the only two words Vulcan managed to get out before a heel drop connected with his forehead.
"Who decided you can stand above me?" N'Azzari questioned as his heel connected with the intended target catapulting the energy manipulating mutant rocketing to the Earth.
Floating above both of his opponents he glanced over to the latest addition of this battle. The prince landed gently on the ground.
'Sickly pale skin, sweating, and his eyes are leaking smoke. What are you doing to yourself?'
"I end you once and for all, I will burn you till there's nothing left and then your powers and your body will be mine."
"Sounding a lot like Orochimaru, there Sasuke," N'Azzari addressed his former friend by his original name.
"That's not my name Naruto! I AM PROTEUS." The reincarnation of Sasuke Uchiha roared as Psionic energy exploded in his form.
Before the Psionic mutant could make a move, Vulcan burst out the sand with a violent explosion and rocketed into the air before landing on the other side of N'Azzari trapping the prince in between himself and the parasite.
"Finally dug yourself out of that dune eh," the prince snickered before looking left and right. "It looks like we got ourselves a free-for-all all," N'Azzari claimed as he began charging his power once more eyeing both Proteus and Vulcan. 'Sasuke wants my body but there's a chance he tries for Vulcan, with any of our bodies it's a bad day for the planet.'
"Today two Gods shall fall." Vulcan declared as he eyed the secondary threat Proteus to the real threat Limitless. "And I will scatter your ashes to the winds!"
"RAGHHHH," Proteus just snarled as his powers began to burn through his current body. 'I will not be your lesser Naruto!' From that snarl laced in psionic energy the words translated on the air and wind itself.
N'Azzari took a breath he knew what this was, what this is. He had felt so many times in this life and many more in the life where he was called Naruto Uzumaki.
'This is war, this is not just some fight to fix a mistake. It's bigger than that, this is a clash of ideals, of what we believe is right!' N'Azzari thought as he faced down his former best friend and the douchebag Summers brother. The prince of Wakanda stood between two Omega-level mutants and calmly raised both hands, shaping them into finger guns. The molten amber eyes were emitting a powerful glow. A crimson light began to gather at his fingertips as he aimed each hand at his current enemies.
'Red Reversal: Spatial devastation,' the Prince thought as he focused on reversing his spatial amplification.
"It's gonna take a lot more than you two losers to bring me down!"
The desert shook. Space itself twisted and churned. The surrounding world exploded in a burgundy light.
To say Irene Adler woke up in fright would be an understatement. She screamed in fear sitting upright. Waking her partner from her own slumber.
"Eughh," Raven groaned as she slowly sat up. 'This is getting ridiculous,' the shapeshifting mutant reached into the bedside drawer a pulled out a notepad and pen.
"War is coming," Irene spoke in a trance-like state.
"Nothing new there." Raven rolled her eyes.
"Ichor shall stain the earth."
"Ichor that's what gods bleed, I think."
"Be it Parasite, Tyrant or King."
"Finally, something to work with," Raven said as she jotted down the details.
"The catalyst must live if we are to face the coming annihilation."
"Catalyst? That's a new one. And what annihilation?" Raven finished writing down the last line before she looked concerned at her partner who was still non-responsive.
'For us to survive the coming apocalypse we require the power of Honoured One.' Irene thought but she couldn't speak, something was wrong.
'No what are you? What the hell are you!' Irene raged and screamed in her mind as she stared at a monster.
The beast had sickly yellow eyes, slit like a snake. A creature bathed in shadows and had froze her from breathing the moment the locked eyes.
'This thing is pure evil.'
'Kukukuku, don't be rude now Irene,' the being almost hissed at her. 'Now then it seems you're the one. What an interesting Kekkai Genkai you have."
'Kekkai Genkai?'
'Oh, my apologies, I mean mutation.'
'What do you want?'
'Me, I want for nothing, for I am everything.'
'What is your purpose then,' Irene asked.
'My purpose is simple I just want my kids back, and for that I require power from the source.'
'Why do you send me these visions?'
'Kukukuku my dear I am not sending you anything your mutation from first glance appears to tap into the source fuelling your psionic future sight, but you see you are halting my resurrection with your disruptions.'
'What?'
The beast spoke know more as darkness seemed envelope her surroundings. Irene tried to scream, shout, whoop and holler but nothing worked even as the final light died out Irene thought one thing.
'Raven, I'm sorry,'
Irene's world went black, her mind swallowed by darkness.
'That's not normal.' Raven thought as she waved her hand in front of her girlfriend's face.
Back over in the States, the undercover prince stayed for another hour before saying his goodbyes to everyone who observed him in action and some of the others who got saved the night before heading to the front.
"Do you really have to go. I'm staying here you know." Jubilation said with a sad smile.
"I know but as you saw I've got a real good handle on my powers, and besides I'll offer you a deal," N'Azzari said as leaned forward slightly, as he spotted his friend's pout. "You've seen how strong I am right," the prince paused at the girl's nod before continuing well how about it when you turn 19 I'll come back and take you with me, and we can have our own adventures if you would like but you're going need to up your power if you wanna tag along me I got big plans." The prince spoke with a calm as he ruffled her hair.
"Hey, get off I'm older than you," the teen girl swatted his hand away as he laughed.
"So, what do ya say?"
"Deal and you still got to explain the Prince thing."
"Maybe one day but not today and you have my number."
"I do?"
"Yeah, I put it in your phone so you can always call me whenever Starlight."
"You giving me another nickname now?"
"What? It just suits ya Jubilee, see ya."
"Wait!"
CLAP
And with a single clap, the teen vanished from the eyes of the recently awoken mutant leaving only some slight air displacement behind as evidence that someone stood before the girl.
'I guess I'll tell you next time I you then. See ya,' Jubilation thought to herself as she turned around to head back to the school, the young mutant was unaware she had several eyes watching her from the mansion.
N'Azzari reappeared on his ship.
"Time to go home. Need to message T'Challa on the way." N'Azzari spoke to himself as he leapt into the pilot seats and began running through the activation sequence.
The prince began fiddling with his kimoye beads.
"Contact T'Challa, Shuri and General Okoye group call."
After a couple of moments, Shuri answered first shortly followed by Okoye and finally T'Challa.
"Brother?"
"My Prince?
"little brother?"
"Sup guys, got a bit of story to weave for you guys."
"My Prince where are you calling from."
"From my ship. Now my story."
"Where is the ship, my Prince?"
"In New York, now before you all panic I'm alive and great I snuck away to go to that conference which was cancelled btw but I managed to meet the X-Men right a team of kick ass mutant superheroes." N'Azzari broke down his time so far at a rapid pace.
"Brother," T'Challa spoke up over the screen "Before you cause the General to implode from high blood pressure, how about we get to the point."
"Paah fine, ruin my fun why don't ya." N'Azzari playfully snipped before turning deadly serious. "I found her, I found Ororo."
Shuri had tears welling up in her eyes while Okoye remained stone faced but small smile graced his face. T'Challa was infinitely hard to figure out from his expression.
"Are you sure?" the eldest asked.
"100!" N'Azzari declared "I'm transmitting all the information as im flying home see y'all in about 6 hours and we can work something out, it complicated but mind control is very much a real thing."
"Shit," Shuri cursed.
"Language," T'Challa sternly warned. "Now then Father is taking myself and a handful of Dora Milaje to this UN conference in Europe, including the General so when you get back you will wait for my return so we can make a plan."
"Right. See y'all soon," N'Azzari said before ending the call, and seeing as the ship was ready to go, he hit the throttle blasting off towards the Atlantic. Towards the motherland. Towards his home.
Wakanda 5 Years Later
'It's been a long five years,' the prince sighed as he thought back over when everything truly changed. Leaning back against his headboard he absentmindedly bent space in palm to resemble a whirlpool, perfectly stable.
'The UN Conference, father died, T'Challa became King of Wakanda, Shuri was promoted to head of all things science related and I was made heir to the throne.' N'azzari thought as he reminisced over maintaining his friendships with the X-men and they often traded data involving genetics and mutants they came across. Though the offer was made on several occasions the prince always declined the offer to join the X-men but his bonds with Jean, Jubilee, Emma and Sam developed greatly.
'Even though the last time I saw them Emma and Jubilee were acting strange.'
Ororo was a different story altogether due to the death of our father everything else was delayed, and all things related to anything else were placed on hold, but eventually she was able to come and visit on a few occasions and reconnect with her mother and I found her sister on assignment here in New York City.
'Which was totally ok not a problem at all,' N'Azaari thought to himself sarcastically as it turned out dear serious Vivi under the name Vivian had brought two kids Nathan and Evan which N'Azzari didn't put that little detail in active report, knowing about some ramifications that could be placed on her.
"And I guess today is the day." N'Azzari thought as he leapt off his bed to head towards the shower before heading to the throne room.
Some time had passed and in the throne room King T'Challa, Queen Nakia, the King's mother Ramonda along with several councilmen and women scattered throughout the hall.
"Where are your siblings?" Ramonda asked her eldest child as he sat on his throne.
"I don't know mother but I do know that the General should be back with Shuri any moment now." As the King finished his sentence and the hall doors opened and in came Shuri and Okoye.
"And would you look at that, appropriate dress to." T'Challa mocked as his sister and General approached.
"Now just your brother."
"You know he runs on his own logic. He is a free soul." T'Challa defended his younger brother.
"Well, you can be free and still be on time."
"Ontime for what mother," N'Azzari spoke up from behind his mother causing her to jump.
"You little."
"Sorry, Mother it was too easy."
"Shush, now let me look at my darling son before he gives his first address to the council," Ramonda said as she began to analyse her son's attire.
"Shut it, Nakia, I can see you giggling."
"You shouldn't speak to your queen like that," Shuri chastised her brother playfully.
"Ha ha so funny, fuck off dweeb," N'Azzari hurled an insult with a brotherly heat behind it.
"Oi knock it off the pair of ya," Ramonda warned through a narrow gaze.
Nakia and T'Challa just snickered before Ramonda turned her mother's gaze on the two rulers of this great nation. All the while the twins smirked at each other before flipping off their King and Queen behind their mother's back.
The duo stopped their antics as the throne room doors were swung open
"Maefa!" was shouted before more tribal chants followed.
"And now everyone is here."
"It's really not that big a deal why are all the clans here?" N'Azzari asked.
"It's not every day the strongest person in the country goes on vacation Let alone my heir."
"Firstly, I'm only heir till you to make a mini you or mini her, so chop chop times a wasting I don't need nor do I want this leash.
'I've been a leader before, a ruler. Now I cherish my freedom,' the prince thought to himself.
"Secondly, you know damn well what I'm doing."
"Yes, yes little brother, but also it's not like I could stop you even if I wanted to."
"Yeah, but it makes our mother happy being all traditional."
"The stupid shit we do for family," N'Azzari muttered.
"It's time, you know what to do."
"Yeah, I know."
T'Challa looked towards his general, and as soon as they locked eyes he nodded.
Okoye nodded in response and slammed her vibrainium spear into the ground three times signalling that the proceedings were about to begin.
The clan heads all sat at their assigned seats, and the Heir stepped out into the middle of the seats before turning to his brother tilting his head forward like a nod.
T'Challa smiled even though the court began whispering amongst themselves. T'Challa has never bowed before anyone not even Father, if he respected you, you would have your sign. T'Challa understood his brother very well better than most
'I believe out of our entire family, you are the one who carries the pride of the panther,' T'Challa thought as he looked down at his tall prideful brother who always refused to bow.
"Stand proud brother and deliver your proposal before the court Prince N'Azzari."
'This whole thing is troublesome but time to dance the game of politics.'
"Elders of Wakanda. My Queen. My King." The prince addressed as he looked around the room making to sure lock eyes with every single person in the room.
"We in Wakanda, have always been resilient but since we stopped hiding in the shadows. the rest of the world has gotten a lot braver or a lot more stupid." N'Azzari spoke with a serious tone that most, not even his family often here. "France, Russia, the British, and the United States have made several attempts on Wakandan outreach facilities within the last 2 years, one year after the world learnt about our people."
The crowd murmured in response.
"Now what I'm proposing is you send me out there. I'm the only person who can all of the outreach centres globally."
"But what of Wakanda?"
"You have the Black Panther I'm the anomaly here." N'Azzari responded, "If I wasn't born the Black Panther would protect you, If I had no powers, the Black Panther would protect you." The prince said before breathing in and out. "Humanity is lashing out at those who are different. Mutants, Wakanda, Latveria, Inhumans, hell that doesn't even matter if we go back through history being different has always led to persecution, especially for things we cannot control."
'He is doing good,' Ramonda thought as she looked on with pride.
"What are you proposing?" the Jabari leader questioned.
"M'Baku what a great question, look I could be out there fostering better relations for the sake of Wakanda while also fostering faith in our own mutant community. Who we know lost a lot of trust after and during the civil war."
Murmurs began to spread across the entire hall.
"The Prince is right, we have seen what happens with the Avengers, with superheroes the longer they are active the more the villains will escalate. It is common knowledge that the second son of Wakanda is a mutant how long before powerful enemies try to go after him." M'Baku spoke up once more.
'That's a surprise.'
Before any more words could be said someone burst into the throne room.
"My King the Science division has discovered urgent."
T'Challa glanced over to Shuri who shook her head in response.
"It's better if I show you the data, look here." The scientist used her Kimoyo beads to send over the relevant data.
'Satellites have picked a large UFO heading to Earth at accelerated rated.' Shuri read out loud after looking through the report.
Quickly reading the coordinates of the position of this UFO the prince tapped into a subtle part of his mutation. 'Ok, not an invasion, what are you?' It took a few more moments before the prince's eyes widened from what he was sensing. "It's an asteroid! This a planetary devastating event. Brother I can stop it but I need to go now."
This statement drew silence from the room.
"Are you sure you can stop it and come home safely?"
"Who do you think I am? I got this."
"Alright, Prince N'Azzari while you got to stop the asteroid, we shall deliberate you're your proposal."
The prince just nodded before turning towards his family and nodded. "By your leave elders, Queen Nakia, King T'Challa." N'Azzari said while focusing on his mother and sister, as he flicked his necklace causing it to light up a brilliant orange before his body was enveloped in a Black Pantheresqe suit minus the helmet, before he clasped his hands together and vanished without a sound.
"Good luck brother," the king whispered at a point only his wife, his queen could hear him.
Outside Earth's Atmosphere
Just outside of Earth's atmosphere a huge asteroid, depicted as mutantkinds saviour but due to differing ideologies was currently a battlefield between Homo superior.
Arcs of crimson light clashed against another beam that appeared to be a multicoloured laser.
"Come now Starlight! Is that the best you got!" a white-haired adult taunted his opponent.
"Cyclops you have got to snap out of it." Starlight as she concentrated against the 'Evolved mutant' "Magneto is fucking with your head."
"Who cares! With power like this nothing could stop us can't you see we have the chance to compete with the strongest, to become so strong we have to fear nothing again."
"Ha! You call this strength. I've seen the strongest and you Scott ain't it." Starlight snapped back. "And besides it's all well and good to accept a power-up, but what happens when you don't earn it?" Starlight spoke as she cancelled her blast attack allowing Scott's optic blast to continue unabated.
The younger adult sidestepped the crimson blast, quickly shifting her arms behind her and letting loose too many explosions of her power to sling herself forward at get speed.
'She created her own flash step?' "Ha, you trying to copy that monster!" Cyclops roared before his eyes turned red once again and he launched another optic blast.
'Wait for it, wait for it,' Starlight thought as she watched as he headed straight for her. 'Now!' an explosion went off in her left hand as it was aimed towards the floor catapulting her into the air out of the way of the optic blast.
"You don't know the how." Starlight thought as she lifted her familiar focussed all of her power into her right arm.
'Please let this work,' "Assigning reasons and responsibilities to strength, the weak tend to do that." The young woman muttered echoing her best friend's words. before throwing her arm forward and letting loose a massive energy blast.
Before Cyclops could react, he took the blast head-on, knocking the evolved mutant off of his feet. The explosion was so bright even Starlight had to cover her eyes.
With Cyclops, he was thrown through several walls and around a dozen or so floors deep.
'Th-that should've killed me,' Scott as his vision began to blur as he tried to pick himself off the floor. "Wait is that the eng-engine?"
'And why is it on fire,' Scott managed to think before his eyes rolled back into his head as he lost consciousness.
Back with Starlight before she could catch her breath alarms began going off.
ANTI-GRAVITY CHAMBER DISABLED
"That can't be good,"
ANTI-GRAVITY ENGINE OFFLINE
"Oh, fuck me sideways," Starlight cursed as she understood what that meant.
'We're going crash into the planet!' Starlight thought in a panic as a familiar face flashed through her mind offering a cocky smirk that she always reassures her in some way.
'Emma, do you read me?' the photokinetic girl thought hoping the telepath heard her mental broadcast.
'Yes Jubilee, you heard the alarm you need to get back to the hangar we need to gather together so we can escape, I'm downloadin-ng the qkest ap into your h.'
'Shit your cutting out! Also, what about Scott and the others,' Jubilee thought in response hoping to get a reply of any kind.
'Ok, bad news Emma has been taken out by someone who can sneak up on a telepath or the good news is here.' Jubilee thought to herself as she looked at the molten rocks begin to cool from a blast.
"Maybe someone is closer to him than I am." The girl thought as she glanced at the series of molten holes her last energy blast created.
Another explosion knocked Jubilee out of her revelry as decided to turn around and hit the dash towards the hangar, where some of her temporary team could be found.
Earth- Upper atmosphere
Appearing into the air underneath the coordinates of this falling asteroid.
N'Azzari glanced from left to right and down.
'Well the air is certainly thinner up here and that's a lot of insects.' Were N'Azzari's first thoughts as he stood still floating in the air.
"Now about that world-killing asteroid." The Prince spoke up as he looked up to see the falling rock getting larger with each second.
'No not larger, closer. That is going to start burning as soon as it contacts the Ozone layer. It's big too which means I cannot destroy it unless I fully vaporise it.'
"Meh fuck it too much hassle, I'll settle for full annihilation." The Prince spoke as he began to cup his hands together to begin the steps for his technique.
'Wait!' A familiar voice called out.
'Jean?' the prince paused everything as confusion poured over his face.
'U need to stop, X-men are on board, Jubilee is on board.' Jean spoke before the connection went dead.
'How the fuck am I hearing you right now? My powers are activated, unless?' "She bullied her way through, fought through the pain.
"Change of plan then save my friends and then annihilate the fucking thing." The prince declared as he similarly raised both of his hands to Pein once upon a time.
The asteroid appeared to begin to be covered in a transparent blue flame. The flames spread but did not cause harm. Sweat began to pour off the prince's head as he had to maintain focus as he controlled half of the space.
'What is this fucking thing? Is it the size of China?" The prince shouted as he pumped out even more to stabilise the falling meteor. 'I can lock it down but having a fight against Earth's gravity is tough, might have to do some training like this in the future.'
Boom
Boom
BOOM!
'Explosions? But from where the meteor is mostly intact.' The former shinobi glanced around before he saw a crimson rocket.
'Sam?!' N'Azzari thought as he witnessed the crimson human rocket fly right past him and straight up. 'Is he about to? Yup, that was awesome.' The prince smirked as he watched the boy rip into the asteroid, with such force he shook the entire falling rock, as he began pushing against the asteroid.
Asteroid - M
Jubilee was doing her best to navigate the twisting hallways she had already hit 3 dead ends, but she was pretty certain the door that said hangar bay led to the hangar where she was supposed to meet up. 'I was supposed to go to the mall with my friends, but no the X-men got captured and you have to help out because you want your very royal friend to notice you.' Jubilee cursed herself as she entered the hangar door only to find stairs that only led down.
"Fuck all of this!" Another explosion rocked the stability of the asteroid, causing the girl to stumble over the railing. Quickly shifting her body weight, she let off several photokinetic explosions to slow her descent and control her landing.
'Well, that worked out, somehow.' Jubilee thought as she glanced around and after a second or two before she realised, she was at the bottom of the stairwell.
'Nice,' the young woman thought as she made a mad dash towards the only door leading towards the hangar.
After a couple of minutes, the temporary member of the X-men burst into the bay where she spotted an unconscious Scott being loaded up onto the X-Jet along with Kurt, Rogue and Kitty, Lance Alvers, and Hank.
"What's the situation?" Jubilee said as she ran up to Logan who was all bloody and torn up from fighting an evolved Sabretooth.
"Nothing too new has changed, telepathy is down, and this rock is currently going down. I'm pretty sure you can put two and two together, can't ya, half pint."
"It's him, do you really think so?"
"Come on kid have you ever known that guy to break a promise." Logan offered a small smile before changing his demeanour "Hurry up and help the others with loading these guys onto the blackbird. Emma is helping Ororo with the launching sequence, Boy Scout is unconscious and the same with his brother make sure there still restrained."
"Right!" Jubilee nodded and despite the current situation couldn't help but keep a smile off of her face.
Earth- Upper atmosphere
A jet could be seen rocketing out of the asteroid's main landing bay.
With the humanoid rocket he got the alert, cancelled his thrust and allowed gravity to take hold of him briefly before rocketing over towards N'Azzari.
The prince just nodded as he heard what Sam had said.
"Finally, Charles is gonna catch some heat for this. Now then where were we." N'Azzari said as he let go of holding up the asteroid and held out his left hand as a perfect imitation of a Rasengan formed. "Now for stage two." The prince spoke to himself he began to drag the very sky into his spatial distortions until a high-pitched screech could be heard by the Prince, himself and Sam in the distance.
'Never used this on an asteroid before, I wonder?' N'Azzari thought as the asteroid began to catch alight from officially entering Earth's atmosphere. The prince reared his arm back took one step forward on the air itself before pivoting and launching the attack forward.
"Cut through that thing," 'Fuuton: Rasenshuriken' "Big Bang Impact!" N'Azzari shouted as he watched his orb of death with blades of air cut throught the air at a fast speed.
"No faster." N'Azzari declared as he used his power to amplify the space around the technique. The prince watched on as the flying attack doubled in speed just before slicing into the burning rock.
'Not yet,' N'Azzari thought as he kept the technique under his control allowing for his second strongest offensive technique to not detonate to early.
'I have to make sure none of this survives.'
The prince waited for 5 more seconds before his technique made it towards the middle.
'I've always wanted to say this.' "KATSU!"
N'Azzari let go of the controls for his last technique, the wind and spatial distortion-based bomb exploded, shredding everything in the blast radius at a cellular level. The air and wind that was combined with the technique expanded outwards longer confined to the rotating orb of destruction, splitting the asteroid perfectly in half.
"That's the bang," N'Azzari commented as he watched the rasengan portion of his technique glow before also imploding releasing a typhoon of energy, grinding and shredding the asteroid until dust remained. The sky was illuminated for all to see from a bright turquoise-coloured explosion. Some people would claim that saw a second sun be born in the atmosphere.
As the explosion died down, the winds were spiralling churning up the skies as the Prince looked on.
"Ok maybe the second amp was not needed damn," N'Azzari commented nothing but ash remained as it scattered in the wind before he looked in the last direction, he saw the Blackbird fly off in.
'I guess I better catch those guys up,' N'Azzari thought as his body was covered in a red aura.
"I wonder how fast I can really go," the prince spoke up with a smirk and kicked off the air before rocketing off with his reversed amplification allowing him to propel himself in the air.
Boom
BOOM
BOOM!
"What is that?" Kitty Pryde cried as the X-Jet was being rocked by the air pressure caused by the sonic booms.
"Looks like we got incoming?" Logan shouted as he glanced at the motion sensor and watched something other than Sam rocket their way towards their position.
After a couple of seconds what was incoming, was already above the X- Jet.
"Erm Jubilee, since when could the Prince fly?" Logan called out.
Jubilee just looked up and saw her friend coated in an erratic red aura that seemed uncontrolled and wild like static electricity.
"I didn't know he could," Jubilee gasped as she locked eyes with her best friend, he winked at her as he zipped off. 'Gone in a red flash,' Jubilee thought as she looked away, she missed the orangish blur that sped after N'Azzari.
The END
Next
Recruitment Arc Part 1
Thoughts and feelings?
I can say the prelude is finally completed
I am gonna probs take a small break because of school starting back up again but damn I loved righting this.
What do we think of the pieces in play?
Thoughts of me skipping pretty much all of Asteroid M
If anyone cares Jubilee can use her powers like Bakugo by causing shockwaves by detonating her light bombs and she's skilled and honed her abilities over the years.
If anyone is interested, I got like the 4 arcs planned out:
The Recruitment arc
Return of the U-Men
Clash of Titans
Negative Zone
What did you think of the sneak peek I tried to be a bit clever with by mixing it with the story?
BTW Destiny has been left comatose
Poor destiny but it had to be done. What's mystique going to do.
Also, I'm going to let you decide one mutant you want to see in this story most nominations win to join as either a rival for this era, they can be on Naruto's side or against him.
Don't choose obvious characters but also just now I'm going to use characters as Legion, Hope, and Monarch who haven't appeared yet but will
Rogue and Shadowcat will be meeting N'Azzari for the first time
What will happen with Scott and Havoc find out next time on…..
Let me give you guys some warnings now When Omega levels the potential damage range from the 'map line will be redrawn' to and 'now the planet is dead or dying'
Leave a review as it feeds my engine of Creation Muuhahahhahahahahahhahaha
(Seriously the more you review whether you love or hate it it does help the story and improves my writing).
