Neb: OK, so I know I've been putting up these chapters pretty fast, but on the bright side We will be moving to season three soon as season two is coming to a close and then we will get to Apocalypse. What I can't wait for is X-23's appearance for the X-Men, I want Jessica to be main character for that one as the Rogue clone takes down each of the X-Men until her fight with Wolverine. I do not own X-Men Evolution.
Ricky crawled out of a tunnel he had been staying in to a fresh water pond. He had crafted spears for fishing and fire place for keeping warm. Vibrant supposed he needed more for survival, but this would do for now. The one thing that bothered him was Mystique's plan for bringing in this new mutant who wore red. He knew a showdown between the X-Men and the Brotherhood would be inevitable, but he hoped Jessica wouldn't get involved despite him literally disowning her.
"Maybe I should be one of the good guys," Ricky whispered to himself. Of course, not an X-Man, can they are a bunch of privileged dorks who'd look down on anybody with a criminal history, even if the said criminal changed. It would be interesting, the villains in his story would be Magneto, Mystique, Father Chimer if Ricky ever got brave enough to fight him, and the cheerleader who started this whole mess Lilly with all of her new upgrades she'd probably get, just to get even with him and X-23. He already saved Lady Vampress from both Lilly and Hydra, so maybe she'd be less of a pain in the future... you know what, she'd probably be just as bad. She's got some sort of Wolverine and Sabertooth rivalry going on with X-23 and Ricky already knew witch side he'd take if they fought, despite the old Seer's predictions.
Vibrant turned his head as he heard something move in the distance. A chill went down his spine as he wondered if it was Hydra or Lady Vampress again. It wasn't, he felt something move fast towards him as it grabbed him and ran him all the way across the woods to the top of a building. Vibrant turned his head to see Quicksilver wave to him before running off. Then he turned his head to see yet another familiar face.
"Magneto," he grinned. Magneto starred back at him and then nodded before waving Sabertooth over who had a hold of a man with a bag over his head. Sabertooth took off the bag revealing Ricky's second father.
"Father Chimera," Vibrant grunted. The man who knelt before him looked like he had been beaten, but like Ricky he kept a smile on his face. It was his way of showing no one can get to him.
"Hello son, I wish we met under better circumstances," the man grinned.
"Better circumstances, you abandoned me," Vibrant yelled. "Why did you come back after all this time? Was it to use me again?"
"You have your uses boy," the man chuckled. "But I adopted you as a son, first and foremost. I came back because a source told me Magneto was out of the picture... I really need better sources." Ricky grabbed his scar and grunted as tears welled up in his eyes. "I didn't mean to do that, I wasn't in control of myself."
"Yet there you were, one single cut scarred me for life and all you can do is joke about it."
"That's why I left you," he explained. "I didn't want to keep hurting you, so I left."
"Your a monster," Vibrant yelled. "You injure your child and then abandon him."
"My wife left me after that, and took the twins with her. I didn't blame her... we aren't immune to anger. I'm glad you didn't repress it so much like I did for all these years. I can't even show anger on my face anymore, I can only perform it through action."
"Are you trying to get sympathy."
"I only wanted to swing by to apologize," Father Chimera insisted. "Truth is, I wanted you to replace me, I wanted to make you stronger then me."
"You taught the boy how to pick locks," Magneto chuckled. "His power lies with the Brotherhood." Ricky's father smiled at Magneto who just scoffed back at him.
"Why did you bring him here," Ricky yelled.
"Careful boy, we'd have to change your name," Magneto smirked. "Mystique recruited a powerful mutant on her singular motive for revenge."
"Wanda? Oh right, and so your offering me the same deal. Though Wanda is already more powerful then me, and I've been training my powers for a long time."
"Of course you can't beat her power," Magneto explained. "I don't need you to win, I need you to buy me some time. Quicksilver told me you could hold her in stasis for a few minutes, that's all I need." He pointed to Father Chimera. "His life, for a few minutes of your time."
"Ricky, don't listen to this madman," Father Chimera spoke up, but metal floated in the air and rapped around his face.
"Choose wisely, Vibrant." Ricky grunted as he looked at he looked at Magneto and then his eyes went to his second father. For a minute, his eyes went cold. He moved his hand up in the air as Father Chimera lifted off the ground in stasis. He could feel every particle of the crime lord's body and began removing them, one by one, faster and faster as he watched tiny pieces of his former father float in the air near him. Vibrant never used his powers like this before, could he actually kill one of his fathers. One of the people who abandoned him, tried to hurt him or worse. He lowered his hand and then grunted as the man dropped to the ground, all his particles back in place.
"No, I won't kill him," Ricky growled. "I'm not a monster, nor a tool. I am a person, with choices, and beliefs."
"You are a disappointment," Magneto growled. "Get this man out of here and then meet with the others." Sabertooth grabbed onto Father Chimera who was no longer smiling, instead shaking in fear, and carried him away from their meeting place. "If you won't join me Vibrant, then you can suffer like the rest of them!" Metal roofing began to lift around Vibrant and carry him off the building until he landed in a construction zone.
"Ricky," Rogue spoke up. He turned his head towards her and then grunted as he saw X-men gathering in the area with Brotherhood mutants from Mystique's side. That was when the ground began to collapse underneath of them.
"Dammit, what are you planning Magneto," Vibrant yelled.
