A Mutant's Ascension

[Alkali Dam, Alkali Lake]

William Stryker was not a happy man… all of his intricate plans were destroyed now. He came so close to achieving his dream and then suddenly one of those freaks, Leviathan decided to strike back. He tried to fight back… tried his best to make the President see reason but he failed. For his own stupidity, he even lost his rank…​​

He had executed two mutants because of that and he had noticed that two warheads were launched on the soil of the US because of that. This made a fact clear that he was being watched… but how could that be?? He killed those freaks right in the middle of that damn frozen lake. It could mean only one thing that he was being watched by some freak who had the ability to see anything in the world or they were using satellites to watch them.

Neither of those scenarios was good for him… he knew that there was a good chance that Leviathan would come chasing after him. He could run away and leave behind all of his research in here… that wasn't an option. He was quite sure that if Leviathan had the ability to monitor him then even if he tried to run away it won't work.

So, he chose the best course of action. Mount a defense here, after all, this base was heavily fortified and he could put up a commendable defense here, and if still everything he had failed he would just have to flood the whole base… this way he would be able to take out Leviathan.

"Sir, are you sure that he will attack?" Sgt. Lyman asked Stryker. Stryker was currently re-applying the brainwashing serum on his own son.

"Yes, he will definitely come or he will send someone" Stryker said with full confidence. With all these mutants here he was sure that he could win. And if the situation demands it… he could use one of these mutants as his hostage. Leviathan had clearly proved that he cared about mutants.

Stryker then moved onto the next mutant, this mutant was a giant with a metal helmet on his head. The mutant looked like a monster… he had to pull some strings to get this mutant under his control. The man was named Cain Marko but he was better known by his other name The Juggernaut.

[POV Reo]

After I spent the whole day with Momo I was lying down with Momo's head on my chest while she was lovingly caressing my hair.

"What are you thinking?" Momo asked in a whisper.

"I am thinking about killing someone" I said in a dismissive tone. In the MHA world, I would have never done this but Momo has grown up a lot since then.

Even in the MHA world, she knew that I killed but I never had the guts to tell her that openly but it is completely different now. Momo has seen the evil around the World.

"So, who is this unfortunate guy?" Momo asked in a neutral tone.

"William Stryker, he was the one who started this mess" I answered Momo and opened Stryker's file on the laptop.

"Then make it painful" Momo said in a clean determined voice.

Well, I guess some changes are needed to be made to the plan. I won't kill the bastard now, instead, I will crucio him into insanity. Both of us were hungry but neither of us wanted to get up. So, Momo did the next best thing… she called one of Nemuri's house-elves and asked him to bring us some food.

The house-elf in their usual house-elf attitude decided that we would need a lot of food because we have been making babies and brought us outrageous amounts of food. Thankfully I had Momo with me… who singlehandedly mowed down everything leaving only a small amount for me. But that small amount was more than necessary for me.

When Momo finally finished the food, it was getting dark. So, we quickly got dressed and decided to return. After reaching the small port on the island both me and Momo Flash Stepped into our room.

I found Nemuri on the bed watching porn on her laptop. "Nemuri want to go outside and kill some people?" I asked bringing Nemuri out of her trance.

"Um… no. I just got myself a new DVD, I need to watch that now" Nemuri said in a dismissive tone and went back to watch porn. I leered over her shoulder to see what she was watching… oh! Stepsis stuck under the bed. I decided to leave Nemuri with what she was doing. I have to commend Nemuri… she definitely had her priorities. While Nemuri continued her depraved crusade… Momo started to lay down the room expansion runes. She also texted the other girls to help her…

Since Nemuri had decided to stay, I had to pick someone else… I already had one partner, Rumi. No matter how busy she is if I ask her she would agree in an instant. Who else to take?? Magneto… well, I could take him. Soon Rumi arrived in the room with the other girls.

"Rumi let's go! We have to kill some people" I said in an excited voice and I could already see her eyes started to shine in excitement.

"Where will we be going?" Rumi asked me in an excited tone.

"Alkali Lake, I don't think that you know about that place" I told Rumi who nodded her head in agreement that she didn't know about that place. After, that we both left the room and left to find Magneto. I have already noticed where Magneto was. It took us five minutes to get to him…

"Eric, I have found out who was responsible for the murders of the Kelly family and the assassination of the First Lady" I said to Eric who was quite shocked to hear the revelation.

"So, what are we going to do with him?" Eric asked me looking interested.

"Obviously collect all the proof and then torture him into insanity" I said like it was a matter of fact. Eric looked at me appreciatively and nodded his head. He was also happy with what I have planned. So, Eric agreed to join us, he wanted to bring Mystique with him but I told him that we would be directly attacking the base… we won't be needing subterfuge. I agree that Mystique was a powerful meta-human but in a frontal assault, she was going to be useless.

I grabbed both Rumi's and Eric's shoulders and Apparated to Alkali lake. Rumi was completely fine but Eric lurched forward and dropped on his knees. Thankfully he didn't empty his stomach.

"This was very different than Portkey" Eric spoke breathing heavily.

"This is called Apparation, for this, you just need to know the location where you want to teleport, and voila! Here you are" I said in a mock cheerful voice.

"Have you been here before?" Eric asked me finally getting up from the ground and looked around.

"No, but you don't need to see the place physically, a picture or video of the place would also work" I explained.

"Rumi had told me about Apparartion… so you were able to do this because you are magically stronger than Rumi?" Eric asked me with curiosity in his voice. I simply nodded my head.

"There are two snipers stationed on those two trees" Rumi suddenly said pointing towards two huge trees. I had already noticed them but didn't do anything because they were quite far away.

"Deal with them" I said to Rumi who nodded her head and jumped away without making any noise. She would have been a good assassin if she wasn't a battle maniac.

"But what about the meta-humans?" Eric asked me.

"We will save them, Stryker is using some kind of brainwashing liquid on those meta-humans to control them" I said in a dismissive tone.

"But if he uses one of the mutants as a hostage then I can't promise anything" I reminded Magneto who nodded his head in agreement. With that decided both of us started to walk towards the Alkali dam. Suddenly Rumi returned to us and started to walk by our side…

We finally appeared in front of the gates and I was quite surprised that no one attacked us. I was quite sure that Stryker already knew we were here. I waved my hand and the huge metal gates in front of us were ripped apart… after all, we didn't have any need for subtlety here. We entered the dam, I was already able to feel all the life signs inside…

Suddenly one of the life signs vanished and all three of us heard a mild thump behind us. Nightcrawler appeared behind Magneto with two glass daggers… looks like Stryker had prepared them very well. Nightcrawler stabbed his dagger towards Magneto's back but before he could do anything he was kicked away by Rumi.

"That was a really slow teleportation" Rumi said and Flash Stepped in front of Nightcrawler and punched him but this time Nightcrawler was ready and disappeared in a blue mist but Rumi again Flash Stepped and appeared where Nightcrawler was about to appear and kicked him… Nightcrawler arrived out of thin air and was shocked to see that Rumi was already there, Nightcrawler knew that he couldn't dodge the kick so he braced himself with his arms.

Rumi hit Nightcrawler and several cracks were heard and Nightcrawler was completely blown away but before he could collide with the wall he disappeared in blue mist. I felt him return to his previous place… Rumi must have broken several of his bones…

"Hahaha… bring me more!! This will be too much fun!!" Rumi exclaimed happily while laughing… yeah battle maniac…

("Did you miss me?" Cliff-kun asked cutely with puppy dog eyes)
