CHAPTER 8
SUPERIOR
KROKOA
On the Mutant's Island Nation, one of the Original X-Men, Ororo Monroe, Once Queen of Wakanda, Holder of the Seat of Loss on Arrako, Wind Rider, The Storm, was in critical condition, her body left in a near death state, beaten within an inch of her life against a new foe, something that they had never once thought to be possible. For the Genetic Superior to the Mutant Race had shown themselves, a combination of sorts, Mutant, Inhuman, Mutate, Eternal and Two Unknown Genetic Templates, such beings could simply not exist, but a day prior, Storm had faced one of them, the fight being between Omega Level and Omega Level, but the wind rider had been proven badly mistaken, this wasn't a fight between equals, for that fight, Ororo showed to have had the upper hand, until her opponent, in her own words, 'began trying' and it was ended within seconds.
THE HEALING GARDEN
Now Ororo was in the medical care of the Krokoan Mutants, especially Joshua Folly Aka Elixir, and Hope Summers, the Mutant Messiah and conduit of the Phoenix Force, using her power to amplify Elixir's. The door to the healing garden opened, revealing Cyclops, walking to his Adopted Granddaughter, he asks her
"How is she?"
Hope and Elixir looked at him "She's in bad shape, that girl, Track? She did some serious damage" Elixir said "But they're just burns, both internal and external, she'll be fine in about an hour"
"Thank you both" he nodded as he left the chamber, to see the others, Magik was also taken down in that fight, she was yet to be revived, but for the fact that his right hand had been decimated so quickly, Rogue was also in a pretty bad shape, after a fight with Shadow-Spider, it still didn't make sense how a Spider Person was that physically strong, even the Juggernaut struggled to even damage Adamantium and yet this girl is able to effortlessly dismantle it with mere punches.
Then there was the other one, even with Track somehow having power equal to that of a Cosmic Entity, he was still able to easily incapacitate her, and now, those two were running around, saying they were the genetic superiors to Mutants.
THE BONEYARD
In the Headquarters of X-Force, Magneto, Cyclops, Rogue, Wolverine, Iceman, Nightcrawler, and Sunspot, all X-Men, all having been there to bear witness to the grandeur of the Hybrids, Shadow-Spider tore through Rogue and Sunspot with ease, as well as being able to bend Adamantium, as well as Vibranium. Rachael Summers, aka Prestige, stood in front of her father to review the new enemy. The entire group sat on the coaches, recliners and any chair they had around, funny thing about defeat, is that it makes your legs jelly.
Polaris walked into the room, she was holding a Cup of Tea, walking towards her father, the Mistress of Magnetism took a knee before her father, holding up the cup
"Father are you…?"
"Yes my dear, I…I…" Magneto cut her off only for his tongue to hold his words
She held her father close, his eyes shook as his breath staggered
"T-That wasn't real right?" Prestige asked her father
"No, it was" he answered "That Woman, had every bit as much power as your mother, we went up against a power that can rival our greatest asset"
But as they contemplated their own loss, the minds of Nightcrawler, Wolverine and Iceman were on another thought, their friend, Spider-Man, Peter Parker, was with her, The Canadian Mutant caught a whiff of the girl's scent, by what he could tell and the way she was talking, she had no ill intention towards him, or any of them until Magneto attacked her, then came the other two, Maverick and Track, two absolute monsters.
'Ro had the upper hand on her, but I could smell something was off, I doubted my instincts and now, Ro's in it bad and Webs is missing'
Rachael looked at her father, 'Was what she said true, about, Hybrids?' she telepathically asked him. Cyclops lowered his head, he almost didn't believe in what he saw out there. His mind flashbacks to what he saw, a massive flame burning above them, with Storm standing in front of it, he had seen so many things in his long life as an X-Man, but what he saw there, another Phoenix, or a being with the same, similar or greater levels of power. And if they had more power houses like that, then they would really have their work cut out for them on this one, because this wasn't Sentinels, this wasn't the Sh'iar, these weren't evil mutants, this was their own Genetic Superiors, essentially what they were to humans. And they had already slapped around one of their heaviest hitters.
Later, in the Grove
Cyclops stands before the Quiet Council, all current members were seated there, Jean, Emma, Apocalypse, Magneto, Storm, Cypher, Hope, Exodus, Mystique, Destiny and Professor X.
The High Governing Body of Krokoa stared at the General of all Mutants, asking clearly through his mind "What happened out there, Cyclops?"
There were no words, there was no excuse, no way to explain what he had seen, this threat, she wasn't a cosmic force in herself, yet somehow, when she let out her power, it burned the same way as the Phoenix. Having read his mind, Exodus shouts out "Blasphemy, the Phoenix is our grace in this world, of all mutants everywhere" Cyclops stared at him, he knew this, he had experienced the wrath of the Phoenix directly, heck, he had wielded its power before, so he knows what it feels like and this girl, it wasn't the same Cosmic Presence but it did equal it with her raw might alone.
"She called herself a Hybrid, Combining Genetics from Mutant, Mutates, Inhumans, Eternals and Two Genetic Components we have yet to uncover" Magneto stated "With that many genetic factors taking into account, the girl was prime for massive amounts of power" he said in defense of Scott Summers. Storm was next to speak up for her leader, having directly faced Track, and lost badly.
Apocalypse spoke next "That girl has forsaken our great race, believing themselves superior to us, such transgressions should not be allowed to perform"
Emma though, even as they spoke, Emma had revised the situation for what had really happened there, for what had truly transpired "I don't think that's the case Apocalypse" this made everyone stare at her, even Cyclops, she stared back at them, turning to her Diamond Form to prevent the telepaths from getting into her mind "It's just a hunch on something, nothing to important, yet"
LOCATION: UNKNOWN
Darkness, that was all that could be seen forward, darkness, then a sound, bubbles blurting through the water, why was he in water?
…Wait… Where was he…?
He springs to life and screams, by what he could see forward, he was in a cave of some sorts, the cavern walls were lighted by cracks, peeking through them to provide some kind of light, mist and webbing covering the walls, he had strangely remembered this place once, he had seen it before, he had seen this place before, trying to remember when he had seen it. Then, a spider crawled to his leg, climbing up him, but this spider, it did not bite him. He reached down, holding the spider in his hand, raising it up to his face, looking directly at it, it had a Red head, Black Venom sack and White legs, a purple web coming out of the sack, rising up its web-line and away from his hand, continuing down the deep caverns, the humidity inside grew and he began to sweat, wiping it away from his face, and upon opening his eyes, he finds his sweat, the fluid he was secreting, was not in fact sweat, to white and sticky, 'Web Fluid' "Why…?"
"Well if it isn't our old friend" came a rough and hissy voice from behind "Come back to us I see"
Peter turned around, the voice was gone, all vanished into the deep, absolute darkness that seemed to be staring right back at him, once more did he turn his back to the darkness of the cave, continuing on forward, approaching what he had been looking for, a light, a smile formed on his face as his pace hastened, running and running towards the light ahead.
THWIP
He fell to the ground, turning around, a web snagged his feet being dragged back down into the darkness, his screams echoing through the cave as he was pulled deeper and deeper back down into the obscurity of the cavern.
LOCATION: THE SCARLET WITCH'S TOWNHOUSE
Wanda placed a book up on her shelf, her close and personal friend Darcy Lewis sitting on the tea table close to her watching something on her phone, Wanda glanced at her through the side of her eye, Darcy's mouth agape as she covered it, looking down at her phone,
"Darcy, is anything wrong?" Wanda asked her friend
Darcy looked up then back at her phone, then faced the screen at Wanda Maximoff, she looked down at it, eyes wide as she read the news headline
'NEW UNKNOWN SPECIES OF HYBRIDS ATTACK NEW YORK, HEROES STORM AND FORMER VILLIAN MAGNETO BOTH GRAVELY INJURED'
Darcy looked up at her friend, worried as to how she would react, but by the time she raised her head, the Scarlet Witch was gone, the only thing remaining were tiny particles of red. Darcy looked around, faced left to right and, popped her lips,
Okay~ Now what?
But as the super nerd tries to figure out what to do, a knock on the door catches her attention, she gets up to answer it, "Hello?"
A… an almost shy sounding voice came through "Y-Yeah?"
"I'm sorry, but does the Scarlet Witch live here?" the voice asks, it sounded kinda feminine, but also like a boy in a way, that was weird. The door knob glowed green with a Seal, the protection spell around the door that kept out unwanted or uninvited guests activated, but the Red glow of the Scarlet Witch's power slowly became a Jade, the color swapping as the door opened, to reveal…
…Nobody special really
He was a young boy, about the same age as Billy Maximoff, Wanda's Son or maybe younger, it was hard for her to tell. He had a cute Round Face with Royal Blue Almond Eyes, a Bulbous Nose, small lips, his eyes averted her gaze in anyway, his cute freckled face blushing. He was a half foot taller that she was, but he was so timid.
"Ugh Do I know you?"
"N-no" he said, still shyly. His eyes met with her own for a brief second. He wasn't even dressed like he was a threat; she was so used to seeing Cosmic Threats like the Griever at the End of all Things, Agatha and other stuff that happens in this town that Wanda deals with, that seeing a 17-ish year old kid with a Sokovian accent and wearing a Green T-Shirt, a Black and Green Open Hoodie over it and Black Sweat Pants with Green Sneakers. But the fact that he had just been able to break through Wanda's protection spell might be a cause for concern.
"U-um, I- is Wanda Maximoff here?" he asks
Darcy looked up and down at him, 'Man I do not know whether to feel sorry for this kid or just answer him?" "No, she just stepped out"
"Oh" he hung his head "D-do you know when she'll be back?" he asked her, lifting his head up a bit. Darcy didn't have an answer for him
"Oh not sure, she's having some family drama right now"
The Scarlet Witch had gone to see her 'Father' checking up on the old man was the right thing to do in this situation, luckily, Pietro and Lorna were there with him, seeing the way her father was injured truly hurt her. But luckily he had been completely healed, hugging his daughter who had just arrived
"Father"
"Wanda, my daughter, thank you for coming"
Wanda smiled at her father, happy to see him "What happened?" she asked him. Magneto looked down, but Krokoa itself grew a screen for her to see the News Report, watching the Hybrids appearance, and that was it, that was the power she had sensed from before, Power that was nearing both her own and had exceeded the Power of the Phoenix Force by a massive mile. But where did such a being come from, Wanda couldn't sense any kind of a Cosmic Being, but that was definitely power to rival one.
"Did you find out who she is?" Pietro asked
Magneto stared into his son's eyes "The girl seemed to be the mightiest of the group but whatever a power such as that came into being is surprising me"
"She called herself a Hybrid, a Mutant, Inhuman, Eternal and Mutate, is something like that even possible?" Lorna asked
"Stark and King T'challa both scanned her DNA to find everything was true, and when we scanned her, she registered as an Omega, both of the girls were and that man, he wasn't registerable at all, not as anything" Magneto explained to his children.
IMPOSSIBLE CITY
The Earth's Mightiest Heroes were in their base in space, recovering from the damage they had suffered from that fight against the Hybrids and Ravager, Carol was thinking about that Spider-Girl she had faced, and it made no sense about the level of strength she had showed, it was even worse than it was before, Carol had been used to being the strongest person on the planet, but now, that Bug Girl was besting her and Rogue, and Sunspot all at the same time.
What the hell was happening?
Iron Man and Black Panther got on track to finding that new girl, obviously someone with power like that couldn't stay hidden for long,
"Panther, repurpose all the satellites to track any massive spikes in energy, anything over 4000Rads and 6.3Terajoules of energy, something like that, a suns on earth and it had managed to go unnoticed for god knows how long" Tony says to him
"Already done Stark, but before we proceed, I must ask you something"
"Maybe later Kitty Kat"
"Why did you attack Ravager on the Bridge?" Black Panther questions Tony. Tony faces him with a look of confusion "He tried to deescalate the situation, but you still attacked him"
"T-that isn't important right now, he was working with them and means he's an enemy, we take him down along with the rest"
T'challa looked at him, then turning back to face down at the screen.
ABANDONED HYDRA BASE
"I HAD HER!" a female voice screamed, sounding through the entire base "WHY DID YOU ORDER US AWAY!?" she screamed grabbing a chair and tossing it across the room
Maverick looked down at his friend, her face contorts to an enraged scowl, a deep burning yellow flame emitted from her eyes as she scowled at him, Maverick stood before her with his arms crossed over his chest, looking down at her with a stern look that matched her own. Maverick and Track continued to glare at one another, the air between was thick enough to cut through with a chainsaw
"In case you'd forgotten, Sun Queen, you gave the Mutants sensitive information about your species, including making the world realize that they don't only have those cowards to worry about, but now you" he says sternly, never breaking eye contact with her, while Track lowered her head, mumbling something to herself "It wasn't that bad" she kicked the ground, then sighing
Maverick put a hand on her shoulder, "Okay?"
Her head hung even lower, "Yeah, yeah fine" she said, crossing her arms and turning her back to him "I'll go check up on some of the others" she said leaving the room they were in.
"You can afford to be a bit tougher on her you know"
The man that entered the room, he had an Oblong Face with short White Hair, he had Almond Eyes, with Red Pupils, and slits like a Cat, the white of his eyes was a dark shade of Purple, and a scar that ran straight down his left eye, he had a Bulbous nose and thin lips crept up into a smirk. He had an above Toned Body, with several tattoos all over his arms. He had Soft Beige Skin, the tattoo on his left arm was of a Long Type Dragon, reaching down from his shoulder to his forearm, on his right hand, was a screaming Oni mask, the mouth and teeth jiggered. He was wearing a Black Navy Tank Top, with Black Jeans, the smirk on his face directed at Maverick
"Really think telling the girl to stay in her lane was a good idea, David?" the man questioned, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, his eyes closed as he strut to his companion "You know what Storm means to her, Right?"
Maverick turned away from him "What're you doing here, Umbra?" was David's only response to his question, the new Hybrid cocked up an eyebrow as to say 'Dude, the fuck?'
"Man is that really how you greet a friend; man you must really be allergic to manners"
"And you must be allergic to having your head attached to your body"
Umbra sighed at his friend, rolling his eyes as he walked up to him, putting his hand on his shoulder "I know what you're doing, and I respect keeping her safe, but don't forget what Munroe did to her, what she lost?"
David clenched his fist "Are you going to stay for long?"
Umbra shrugged his shoulders "Nah, too busy actually doing my job, you know, like you should be doing right now"
From Umbra's shadow, the dark reflection of himself grew even darker, pulsating into a dark miasma that quickly swallows his body up, the shadows revert to normal, and Umbra was gone. And now Maverick sighed and groaned loudly, rubbing his hands across his face "Hate that guy so much" his upper body slouched down, walking out of the room he was in.
With Track, the girl was taking out her anger on her console, Call of Duty Latveria, shooting her way through the army invading Wakanda, Sophia was tapping at her controller with force, until she finally broke it, "Arggh!" her Silver-Blue eyes turned red for a moment when she snapped it.
KNOCK!
The door knocks her out of her fuss, turning her head back to face it, the mans from her last training session with Track
"Hey Ryan" Sophia said
"Wow, Call of Duty, didn't think you still played that"
"What do you want?"
"The world knows about us now" Ryan stated "You know what this means right?" his face turned to hers, she was still faced down when he placed his arm on her shoulder, she raised her hand to face him "Get some rest kiddo, Katie will be here when you wake up"
DOWNSTAIRS
Standing and staring at the pod containing her father, April mounted her feet to the ground with her arms folded, gone was her Shadow Spider attire, now adorned in somewhat regular clothes, she was dressed in a Black Tube Top with Red lines on the top that covered her torso, the top was held up only by her C-Cup Breasts, the top of her cleavage showing through it, a Black Fluffy Coat with Red Lines running down the edges, black short shorts on her lower body and a black choker on her neck.
A gust of wind and a dim purple light flashed by, and she was gone.
KROKOA
All the mutants who had taken substantial injuries during the fight against the Hybrids had all been healed, Storm was standing with her brothers and sisters of the X-Gene, the Weather Goddess had been felled by the Child of the Sun.
"And I make this promise to you, the Hybrids shall never do harm against us again" Storm announces to her people and all of them begin cheering for her, they believed in the Mutant Goddess, as she retired to the nearest chamber, waiting for her there was none other than the Mutant Messiah herself, Hope and Exodus, the mutant priest who has the most faith in the messiah and would die protecting her.
Hope had her arms crossed as she witnessed Storm enter the room "Are you sure about what you said" Hope's arms shook as she spoke "That girl, Track, she… I could feel something about her, it wasn't just her power, something about her was different" Hope tells the Goddess, Storm places her arm on Hope's shoulder, "It shall be alright my dear, the Hybrids may pose a threat, but we shall face it like we have faced any other, as X-Men"
CLAP!
All three Omega Level Mutants turned to face where it was coming from, Storm immediately had lightning on her arms, her eyes charged with electricity while for Exodus, his arms and eyes were body with Psionic Energy, and for Hope, she was channeling the power of the Phoenix, as Cosmic Flames circled her hands.
The sudden slow clapping continued, the sound had been coming from down the halls, Exodus stood in front of the Messiah, protecting her with his own body as he and Ororo traversed the hallway, Krokoa clearing the path of vines for them, and then, inside the empty seats of the Grove, a woman rested on the White Queen's seat.
The clapping then stopped as the sounds of approaching footsteps, as Hope, Exodus and Storm enter into grove, the vines of Krokoa behind them, there sat in Emma's seat, were three people, the first one facing them, and the one they guessed to have been the one clapping as she was the only one sitting down was a woman.
This woman, her Almond Skin absolutely glowed in the rays of sunshine, her Orange Pupils stared at them through her Close-Set eyes, she had a Shinning Roman Nose, Thin glossy Lips, her cheeks were slightly reddened with a blush, she got up from the chair, revealing her 5'6stature, her hourglass figure present through her clothes, she had several tattoos on her left arm covering from her shoulder to her wrist, she adorned a Parakeet Green Polaris sleeveless smooth vest, a Basil Green checkered skirt, a brown belt locked around her waist, a black shoulder band on her left arm, Black Thigh Highs with Black Boots.
She stood up from her chair, staring down the three Class S Mutants, her eyes not wavering in the slightest as they spoke to her
"May we help you?" Storm grit to this unknown woman "Answer me girl, who are you?"
The girl remained silent, not even looking Storm in the eye, focusing more on one of the, in particular and that was Exodus, the ancient mutant however was not as likely already taking a guess as to whom or what this being sitting before them was
"I take thou art of the Hybrid Coven?" Exodus questioned her softly
This time, the girl's cold stoic expression softened, a smile escaping her lips {See now this is manners} she signed to them and pointed towards Exodus {And to answer your question, Yes, I am of the Hybrid Species, but I am not with that faction of traitors whom attacked you yesterday}
"Okay" Hope asked her, she then telepathically spoke to her two companions
[How did she get to this sacred land?] was what Exodus telepathically asked both of them
[I am unaware of anyone coming to the Island without our knowledge or even how she was able to enter into the Grove without being seen by anyone, including Krokoa itself] Storm answered
[Whatever's happening here, she doesn't seem to be attacking us for if she's a Hybrid, then that means that she's an Omega or maybe even higher by what Track explained] Hope said to them [So do not do anything to agitate her until we have a full understanding of her] Hope using the tactical mind that Cable had trained her for. The Mutant Messiah was the first to walk towards the dark skinned Hybrid, getting face to face with her, the two girls were at almost the same height, with the Hybrid taking just a slight height advantage over the Mutant Messiah, seeing her face to face, Hope had to admit that this girl was quite pretty, and then the girl smiled at Hope, signing
'I think your hair is nice'
"Thank you?" Hope was confused. Hope then tries to see what the girl can do, trying to replicate and harness her ability, but for the first time in her life, since she was declared the Mutant Messiah, since she found she was born from the Phoenix, that she was unable to affect this girl's power, she couldn't even feel the X-Gene within her,
'Is everything alright?' she signed
Storm signed back 'It is alright Sister, I apologize, but I never caught your name?'
'Oh right, it's Sydney McGrath' Sydney said to them 'Also, you don't have to sign back, I can hear you just fine' she shows the faded scar on her throat, and Storm immediately placed a hand on her shoulder, to which she frowned
"I weep for you sister, for none deserve to be stripped of their voice"
'It happened a long time ago and the one who did it is no more'
The girl followed Storm as Hope and Exodus remained in the Grove, the Mutant Messiah worried and wondering about this girl and how she was able to avert not only her Power Manipulation, but also evade her telepathic scans. Exodus placed his hand on the girl
"Something is not right here, with the girl" Exodus said "She… she does not give off the aura of a mutant, she gives off something else entirely"
The Mutant Messiah faced the girl as she was walking away from her with Ororo, the two of them laughing, as she signed 'Your very pretty'
NEW YORK CITY
The Horizon Labs building was functioning as usual at the moment, but there was one thing that was wrong, not one that many people talked about or cared about, other than a select few, Max Modell, Brady Scraps and Zoe Zander. Zoe was working on her Bio-Nanite project, as she ran the finishing diagnostic check, 90% Complete, she hit pause on that, looking down at her device, and to her side, where no one was seated there. Zoe herself was wearing a Yellow Star Wars T-Shirt of Luke and Darth Vader, lightsabers clashing with the emperor behind them, and tight black jeans
She reached into her pocket, pulling out her phone to text Peter, but be didn't answer, being sent to voice mail "Peter, please, you haven't been to work in a 3days, I'm starting to get worried, call me when you get this"
After work hours, Zoe stepped out of the building, her backpack over her shoulders as she traversed towards his apartment. When finally making it to his place, Zoe stepped into the place, the door had been locked, so she knocked on the door, "Peter, you in there?" there was no response "Max and Brady are worried about you" she blushes a little before continuing "I… was worried about you. Please if you're in there, open up"
There was no response.
Zoe sighs, rocking her backpack as she steps away from the door, but as she was just about leaving, she hears something, a rattling coming from within his apartment, she slowly walked back to the egress, placing her ear to the doorframe, she hears that rattling noise once again, she pushes herself away. Then, she stares at the entry point, she narrows her eyes to the exit, her vision becoming black and blue, the blue points moving throughout the house, but there was one particularly massive one, moving around in the corner, "Oh shit" the voice said through muffled breaths.
She backed up a bit and kicked the door down, something ceramic falls and breaks as Zoe outstretches her hand, creating a blue sphere of energy, looking around in the room, until she saw a woman with red hair and a terrible costume, the girl aimed at her with pink energy while Zoe aimed at her with blue
"Who are you?" Jackpot called out
"What're you doing in my boyfriend's house?" Zoe yells back
The two were at a standoff, both women holding balls of energy to the other as they stared one another own, then Jackpot came to a realization "Wait, you said boyfriend?"
"Yeah, now get out of his house before I fry you six different ways"
Her eyes glowed blue and suddenly, Mary Jane's power gauntlet shut down, and so did her power, Zoe's energy sphere turning from whitish blue to pinkish red, same color as MJ's
"I won't ask you again"
On the Island Nation of Krokoa, Sydney, the new girl on the island was enjoying the air of this place, the peace, the tranquility of it all, she opened her eyes to see a pair of kids playing on high swings, so she floats up to them on a tempest of wind, lifting herself up as she catches one of them whom had just fallen, placing the boy with blue hair and scales back with his friend, before patting his head, the boy thanks her and asks for her name, but she doesn't say and then flying up.
But as she flew up, the armless, weaponless Sentinel that was left to rot as a part of Krokoa and mutant past, at once, it began to go off and it rang off
[ERROR, ERROR, OMEGA LEVEL THREAT DETECTED]
And at the same time, Cerebro, all of them began to detect the same thing, a sudden Omega Level Mutant had suddenly appeared on the island, and, and he hadn't even noticed them, but how?
And who are they
Everyone looked up in awe of Sydney, Omega Level Mutants were not something to easily come by, but to see a new one just suddenly appear out of nowhere, Sydney, looked down at her peers, her wind suddenly fading as she began to fall, everyone gasped, but then her body combusts into flames, and she begins hovering, then she slowly floats down.
Everyone stood in awe of her, then she heard a voice in her head. A New Omega Level, but then another thought came to their minds, remembering what had transpired in New York, Brooklyn Bridge. Was she a Mutant or was she one of them-?
-THE IMPURE
Was she like the one who had crushed their protectors?
She was too dangerous to be on Krokoa.
They needed to get rid of her before she destroyed them all.
Sydney looked around her, seeing how so many of them were immediately skeptical of her, and they don't even know if she was a Hybrid or not, they had no information about her yet they already thought the worst.
How Human
Sydney looked up at the massive structure of a circular architect, the golden structure and the way it was intertwined with the wood, it was virtually the same magnitude of those three enormous architectures and monuments to the Egos of Mutants. Black Stone, Red Keep and The White Palace they call them, of course Emma Frost would want to be somewhere where everyone could see her strip herself every five minutes. She lifted her hand and a rock rose up from the ground, and she sat down.
Looking down at her wrist, at her tattoo, no… not a tattoo, an Insignia of Sorts.
She lifted her hands again, and more rocks rose into the air, they began assembling together, turning into a ting rock gremlin she places a finger on the top of his head, red lava forming into it, giving it eyes and a mouth, it opens its lava filled mouth with a hug smile
The tiny Lava Golem begins waving at her and laughing out tiny spews of molten rock, picking up a small stone, it eats it before running along and giggling, she waves her hands, creating a bubble of water, the water takes the form of a doll, before she blows on it, creating frozen body armor for it, with shoulder spikes and claws.
The Tiny Lava Golem and The Ice Titan started dancing, but without any music, it was still a really nice dance though.
"So Cool" said a young female voice. Sydney turned around to see a little, she'd say 14yr old girl, with long black hair, she had green eyes and two scars down her face "Oh sorry if I startled you. I'm Gabby"
The dark skinned girl opened her mouth to speak "Sydney" she said… in Storm's voice. This spooked Gabby as she wasn't expecting her to be able to do that, especially if she didn't even move her lips to do it.
Gabby laid down on the grass, kicking her feet in the air as she watched the tiny dance show, Sydney blew out a gust of wind, and combining it with earth, she created a wind and stone Golem, the Wind joined Water and Lava, then, she made another made of Mud, another made from Plants, more out of Light and Shadows, and finally, she made a gem stone golem.
The tiny Golem Unit assembled, Lava, Water, Ice, Glass, Metal, Mud, Light, Plants, Wood, Lightning, and Gemstone, with the gems in front, but looking closer at it, then at little Gabriella, the baby wolverine with the widest and cutest set of eyes… Sydney spun her finger around the gemstone, twirling it and shaving off pieces of it, until it stopped and now it looked like Gabby, to which the girl had a huge smile on her face, and she could swear she had stars in her eyes, and the little troupes gathered together.
[PLAYING 'THRILLER' BY THE MICHAEL JACKSON]
Gabby looked around for where that music was coming from, but that didn't matter as the tiny golems began doing the 'Thriller' and Gabby was having a righteous time, even hugging the girl, as she was doing this, more and more mutants stared to gather around them, seeing the tiny multi-elemental golems doing the dance, they even joined in with them, until the song was over and everyone sighed and groaned, this was amazing.
[PLAYING 'DISRESPECTFUL' BY YEAT]
The Golems stared performing the music video, and everyone was getting back into the mood of the festivities. Gabby moving along with the beat, as was the Street Performer.
But all of this was put to a halt by the metal one suddenly being lifted into the air, the tiny metal man struggling to free himself, before suddenly being crushed, its compressed shell dropped down into the hands of Erik Magnus Lensherr aka Magneto,
Sydney faced up to look the 'Man who is Right' then, she glanced over to the woman next to him, to Storm, floating above her, like she always does, and then there was Exodus, standing over her as well, worry very visible on his face, but before anymore could be said or done, there was an urgent message from Arrako.
This came as a shock to the Brotherhood Leaders, they rush towards the Arrako Gates, but as soon as they reach it, someone steps out from it, it was Tarn the Uncaring, the demonic mutant bent down to one knee as he was heavily damaged, his forehead bleeding, he was missing both one arm and one knee, a foot pressed against the back of his head tentacles, kicking him to the ground,
"Tarn, Tarn, Tarn" a female voice said in repeat and Sydney's eye's widened, her breathing became very erratic, Gabby noticed this, seeing her breath hitch at the mere sound of that voice, and stepping out of the portal, the moment her foot touched down on Krokoa, they could all already feel it, something dangerous, something many of them had felt once before, Death, Chaos, Destruction.
A girl, no older than Sydney herself stepped through the gate. Her body exuded a Red Lightning Crackling around her, her face, Square in shape, she stared at them unbothered with Round Eyes with Blood Red Pupils, and a Red Face Paint at the ends of her eyes forming an extra layer going up and over her Medium Arch Eyebrows, but the paint formed a path without her Greek Nose getting in the way, and Heavy Lower Lips crept up into a smirk while she stared at them.
This girl, she had Strong Beige Skin, a Pear Shaped Body Figure, her chest was a C-Cup at best, she had a slim waist with slightly toned arms, her Sexy Body was adamant through the two-piece body suit she was wearing, the top part of it was mostly black, with red accents on the shoulders, a red line drawing down the middle, and a Bloodied Red Dragon on her chest, while for the lower parts, Black was the more dominate color, with Red taking up the inside of her thighs and her waist.
Tarn laid on the ground beaten and bloodied within an inch of his life, missing two limbs and an eye, yet the girl who seemed to have done this, was relatively unharmed, but how could that be against an opponent like Tarn, Magneto stared at the girl
"Who are you Girl?" Magneto demanded an answer from her
But this girl paid him no attention, but after seeing what had been done of Tarn, someone else came rushing in to attack her, Rasputin IV, the Mutant Warrior rushed in, Soul Sword in hand and took a straight swing for the girl's head, to which the girl didn't even bother moving out of the way of as the sword would completely shatter on contact with her,
"W-What?" Rasputin IV said
As the Mutant Warrior was still in the midst of her swing, she would then receive an uppercut to the torso knocking all the wind out of her body, before then being held up by a Psychic Chokehold,
"I didn't come here for battle, I'm merely acting as a messenger for someone" her grip on Rasputin IV was so strong that even with the Psychic Power of Kid Omega, the Mutant Warrior couldn't so much as make this budge. "Oh and just to make introductions clear, you all can call me Mayhem"
Throwing Rasputin aside like a piece of trash, the metal skinned Mutant dug through the ground, taking steps forward, Krokoa itself attempts to attack her, to which she created a sphere of Red Lightning, the vines disintegrating as soon as they made contact with her barrier.
"As I said before, I am merely the messenger" she walks to Storm "From my good friend on Arrako, Track" and hands her a scroll made from Mysterium as the handles. The Text read out
Ororo Munroe- Storm- The Wind Rider, on the sovereign soil of Arrako, by the Fire which lights the path of the World Beyond. I challenge you to the sacred art of an Agni Kia.
An Agni Kia is a consecrated battle of two warriors, going at it one on one in a dual.
The Rules are quite simple;
No Weapons, just the powers given to you.
No Help from anyone not challenged.
Next thing to know, is that if you don't accept this, then I will be forced to simply Incinerate the Planet
And with that, the message had ended, everyone looked at it, then to Mayhem, her arms crossed and left brow raised "I'm still waiting for you to give me an answer, because whatever you choose, I'm still just the messenger"
Storm then grabbed her by the shirt, holding her close with lightning in her eyes "How could you bring such horrors to our door" Mayhem simply stared at her, her eyes narrow but unshaken, "Do you accept?" she simply asked, her voice did not waver or pitch in the slightest. Mayhem grabbed Storm by the hands, then forcing her off her shirt
Growling at the Hybrid "I Accept and tell Track that her time is numbered" Storm announces to the Psychic-Electro-kinetic
"Good" reaching into her pocket, and bringing out a small box, opening it, there was a pills "This is a D-2 Pills, take one of these and instant Super Strength, Super Durability, and a Healing Factor, Sophia thought it might help you"
Storm takes the pills, looking at Mayhem, before the two of them walk through the gate, along with Magneto, Wolverine, Iceman, Nightcrawler, Rasputin IV and Sydney.
PLANET ARRAKO
The Air was burning, but that shouldn't have been right, Arrako was made to have air as fresh and clean as it could be, the planet of Mars was Terraformed to the Linking of the Arraki people. Storm could feel the moisture in the air, or better yet, the lack of moisture, coming from one particular part of the planet, as if something had dried that entire section. And then it clicked with her, 'She must be burning away all the moisture in a large area in order to gather my attention' Storm thought to herself 'Well if she wants my attention, she's has my full undivided attention'
Her eyes narrowed with her teeth bared, lightning burning through those white pupils, Mayhem smiled at this anger, "May I take you to the battle field, Your Goddess, or is it your Majesty?" Mayhem said in mocking tone, to which Storm growled at her "Don't forget those pills, they'll actually let you survive where we're going"
Sydney clapped her hands, gathering everyone's attention, she points a finger at Storm, then motions two fingers to her mouth and swallows air,
"You think she should take the Pills as well?" Magneto questioned the girl
"Smart Girl" Mayhem said with a tone of admiration, and the first Emotion they'd seen her show. Sydney bows for the compliment.
Storm looks down at the three in her hand, grasping them before looking back to Mayhem, then back at the Capsules
"She's many things_" Mayhem suddenly started "But in the years I've known her, I know she would never lie on her honor as a Warrior, or on anything that has to do with her people, even if it was for you"
That last part, the way she said it with a hint of disgust, and this wasn't Mutant Disgust, she had scene that for her entire life, this was different, this Disgust and Anger, it was towards her, directly.
"What does she think I did?" Storm asked her, sincerity in her voice
Sydney, reached out, then put her hand down. Mayhem clenched her fist tight, a spark crackled around it
"Maybe there is a way we can settle this without violence"
"There's nothing to be done. This happens and you pay for your atrocities, against all of us"
Mayhem created a portal out of Electricity, and then stepped through it, Storm looked back at her compatriots, her eyes wondering, but even they were confused, except for Rasputin IV, who was staring at their own Hybrid, who had hung her head, "You know what they're talking about?"
Sydney didn't say anything, she just stepped through the portal, and then the others followed through.
A Massive Orange Glow shined over their faces, sweat beading down all of them as Wolverine wiped the fluids from his body, looking down at what had become of this Mutant Paradise-
-An Ocean, not one of water and waves, or of snow and ice, but an ocean of flames, screeching and crackling before them, bolts of lightning struck upwards from the flames, dancing fire jumped up and down from the sea, the highlands inside the sea did not melt it magma though,
"Yeah_" Mayhem cackled loudly "She can be so dramatic" she popped a little smile. Mayhem raised up her hand, charging a massive sphere of energy, before firing it upward towards the sky, the energy exploded and spelt out the words 'SHE ACCEPTED'
And as soon as that was out there, the massive sea of flames parted a path for them, like the Red Sea of Moses, but instead of taking them to the promised land, they were going somewhere they might not come back alive.
An Hour Passed by them as they marched through the flames, eventually, the reached their destination, the eye of the Storm in you would, and there she was
A massive mountain structure moved up, then slowly moved down, grunting could be heard coming from it, massive beads of sweat dropped to the ground, as Sophia Markov, body held upside down, supported by only her thumb, on her body, she was wearing something that looked like a massive Sumo Suit, with metal things, arms and around the neck. Supported on her legs, was the entire mountain, Magneto could ascertain by the metal on the suit, it weighed an astronomical amount, by what he could tell, a little over 250K Tons, and the mountain itself being another 250K.
Magneto's eyes widened as he realized this girl was supporting 500K Tons of Weight of her body, while supporting herself, only with her thumb.
"999823, 999824, 999825" she stops, looking up at the Mutants and Two Hybrids "Mayhem, catch!" she chucks the entire 250K Ton mountain at them, to which Mayhem, without even waiting for the four Omega Levels (Bitch Mad) Flying up, she catches the giant block of stone with her bare hands, lifting it up into the air before tossing the entire thing aside like it were a mere baseball.
The X-Men watched as the girl began to rise up from the ground, seeing her at her full body without her shirt, she was wearing black bra-top with tight black shorts, she had then burned herself, incinerating the smell of the sweat off her body.
Seeing this, Storm was actually finding herself impressed with the girl's ingenuity with burning the smell off her body, the fires around them were burning ever bright, until all of them, the entire wall of fire was dragged in by Track, all that power was being taken into one singular being, until finally it was over, and she was hoping up and down with her eyes closed, Storm had to avoid staring at her bouncing chest because the girl was voluptuous as well as having toned arms, legs and well defined abs.
She opened her eyes, her smile immediately faded away as soon as she saw Storm, then, call him crazy, but Magneto could almost swear he heard her growl like some kind of beast, but her focus was on Ororo and Ororo alone.
"I take it you accepted my challenge" she said in a surprisingly calm manner
Storm glared at her "This doesn't have to be this way; we do not have to face each other here"
Cracking her knuckled "No it definitely does" she throws a punch at the air, then a kick
"Why, by what I can see we're all Mutants here" Magneto says to her
"And is that the only thing you care about, the fact that I'm partially a Mutant, that I have an X-Gene?" Track questions the Master of Magnetism "What about my Inhuman Factor, or the Super Soldier Serum that's coursing through my veins" she questions further
"Obviously there is that too"
"he said with a dismissive tone' then what about the Eternal DNA?" she throws more kicks in the air, doing so; so fast that she lite the air on fire "And the fact that all of these amazing traits are held together by simple, Homo-Sapiens DNA, you know, Humans"
This stunned Magnus, by what he had seen was a perfect lifeform standing in front of him, and she was part human, part of the vermin that plague the Earth and Mutants. Sydney and Mayhem both glance at Magneto
"Humans aren't Vermin" Mayhem says out
Everyone turns to her confused by what she meant by that, only Magneto knew what she meant, but that was not possible, he was wearing his Helmet, no Psychic should be able to infiltrate his mind, yet how did she-?
'That helmet isn't gonna keep you as safe as you think It will… Magnus'
"And besides…" Track continued "There's something you do that I'm gonna make you suffer for. So that your meds, take your shit and get ready for the worst ass kicking you and your fuck buddy have ever had greatness to witness… Weather Goddess"
The two women stood before one another, Storm sighed, as Lightning erupted from the sky, the air cooled
"Remember, I was being generous before"
Arms crossed, Sophia lifted into the air with Ororo, the air was freezing like a tundra and now a fight that had been seen before was about to get a round two.
The Daughter of Summer, Bringer of the Sun, Heat Personified, with power surpassing even the Cosmic Incarnation of all Life. She brings the Sun to Arrako and once more, shall she claim her true name, the name that had passed down for Generations, the name of her ancestors.
Vulcan. The Black Sun Silence
Was the Daughter of the Elements, she brings Thunder and Wind like a Goddess, staring down from one of the seats of Arrako's government.
Storm. The Wind Rider.
TO A DIFFERENT PLACE
The glass cracked, before shattering completely, green liquids poured from the broken open capsule, and a man with long brown hair dropped to his knees for the inside, he pushed his fist against the ground, then forcing himself to stand, as he stumbled back, a brown haired girl was there to help him back up
"Dad!" she called him.
Wait.
Dad! That was right, April, she said her name was April Katherine Parker, she called herself Shadow Spider, but what was…?
"Dad are you… Dad?"
He got up and looked at himself in the glass, pressing his hands against the glass, wait…
…Hands?
He had two hands again, wait a minute. He could walk again, but how, Stark's blast had destroyed his arm and the impact on the bridge, his back, it was…fine?
Peter got up, not needing April as a crutch, to which he flexed his back muscles, then cracked his neck a bit too. April stood in front of him, a smile on her face as she looks at her father, restored.
"How's it feels old man?" she asked him
"…Honestly… could use some battle scars and maybe something with this hair" he says feeling out his hair, a warm smile on his face
April smiled back as she hugged her father, Peter, he was simple in awe, How? With who? He had so many questions for her, but not a single way to answer any of them but right now. He reciprocated her hug, this warmth between the father and daughter, and he could see it, her eyes, her hair, she had taken so much after him, that she couldn't be anything else but his kin.
And he only had one thing to ask of her.
He pointed out to a tank "What's that floating in the Tank behind us?" Katie's eyes widened 'Oh—Oh Crap!'
