28 Public Execution

"What was the catch"

[The island was almost sinking]

"Send some drones to prepare the island for occupancy…. I doubt the US government would be happy about what I am about to do" Richard responded casually despite hearing about the state of the island.

[As you wish.. package is en route]

"Thanks… now patch me through to the heli's comms" Richard requested as soon as he saw the helicopters come into range

[Connection established]

"Hello to you all, This is the Xavier's school for the gifted and you are trespassing on our personal property and would request that you leave or be forcefully thrown out" Richard said in a masked voice

"How did you hack into this line, I thought this was secure"

"Captain please choose your words wisely because whatever you say is being broadcast to the world and trust me when I say that I am not afraid to shed your blood on international TV"

"Hello then, this is Captain Stryker of the United States Armed forces and we are here to capture a mutant who is thought to be the cause of a certain emergency the country is facing"

"Thank you for compliance, if you could give us a name then we will happily surrender said suspect to you"

"Urgh…. " The captain slurred his words but the helicopters continued forward

"This is the last warning, do not cross the fence" Richard said as calmly as possible but with a smile on his face

Stryker didn't respond again after that but the helicopter continued on. Richard already expected this from an obsessed idiot like him, Stryker worked for Strucker, the founder of A.I.M and a member of Hydra and also one of the major members of the Weapon X scientists. For some reason, the henchmen had also taken on his master's obsession for mutants.

"Thank you all for boarding the last train to heaven, I hope you all have families because I want them to see as you die on International TV" Richard said then suddenly vanished from his spot

Reappearing, Richard was above one of the helicopters and in his hand was the pilot of the helicopter. Without even blinking, Richard tore the man in half and threw each half into the blades of the helicopter.

"They sent you here to get a suspect that you have no name or identification for… are you guys even a part of the military and hope that you are if not, I am coming after those who sent you" Richard said as he flew down and caught the falling helicopter but he didn't place it on the ground instead, he sent a small drone into it

The drone's job was simple, show all the people their faces before he used them as a bat to wack the second helicopter out of the sky.

"Retreat and engage if you have a clear line of shot!!" Stryker shouted seeing that Richard really planned on eliminating them all

"I don't think I ever said that you could intrude in this property and escape" Richard said as he charged into the helicopter containing Stryker.

He smashed through the entire helicopter ignoring the others and only grabbing onto Stryker as he broke through the entire thing. With Stryker now in his hands and the rest of the vehicles destroyed, Richard flew a few more meters into the air before letting him go.

"You're next, Strucker… I give you a day to say your good byes" Richard said

Meanwhile all over the world, a group of people couldn't believe what they were seeing.These were all people who had all worked or were still working for the Weapon X program. Richard didn't broadcast it to the entire world…. that would only result in half the people on Earth getting traumatized for no real reason

Instead he had simply broadcast the video to all weapon X workers and some other Anti-mutant groups. Since he was a mutant now then he had to protect his kind and he wasn't Magneto or Charles, he was here simply to protect his kind and if possible promote peace between the two but before then, the enemies had to go.

"Queen, help me clean this up… you can use their parts to create a portal for their moving" Richard said

The only problem with this entire thing was the fact that whether it was Weapon X or D or S or whatever letter they decided to name it, they all functioned because the US government allowed them.

That also meant that in a few days, this place would be swarming with soldiers whose job would be to shoot all that moves even if it's a plant. Thankfully, he had thought of a way to counter said problem while waiting for the helicopters to get into range, if he could move the school to an entirely different island outside of the US then the kids would be safe.
