31 Chapter 30 - Morning Conversation Breaks

[January of 2012]

[°New York City°]

3rd Person P.O.V

Morning

The sun shone brightly on the rich and peaceful neighborhood as its sunlight bathed the plants which danced happily in tranquility.

Andrew, Illyana, John and Azazel sat in the living room of the house calmly as the owner of the house waves to them in greeting and goes out the house to work honestly.

Andrew stuffed a pizza in his mouth while the others also did the same as they looked at the Tv.

They have been watching for a while now and no news regarding their little raidings have been covered which just shows how people like Stryker can even control the media.

There's also the HYDRA which is definitely doing their best right now to cover all the losses they had and also hide their tracks from the sharp nose yet blind eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"A-ahem.." A fake cough was heard as Andrew turned to the human-looking Azazel who seems to be hesitant to say something.

"What?" Illyana stuffed another pizza on her mouth and spoke after sipping an orange juice.

"Erm.. It's regarding how i got captured by the humans.." Azazel spoke with some hesitation and trailed off.

Andrew already knows what he wants to say but he still listened as he opened another box of pizza and took a slice.

"I actually got betrayed.." At this. Azazel seems to be pissed off as visible anger can be seen on his expression.

"You want revenge?" John asked after seeing that look.

"I was betrayed by none other than someone who I even considered as a friend, so yes, I want revenge." Azazel gritted his teeth.

"What's the name of the guy?" John asked curiously.

"His name is Sebastián Shaw. He's also a mutant. He's a leader of a secret society of elites that is called Hellfire Club. He's a powerful mutant that can absorb any almost any attack you throw at him and it will just make him stronger.

We have known each other for less than a century now and i wouldn't thought that he would just give me to those bastards for a meager amount of money, the bastard must have gone bankrupt." Azazel forcefully munched on his pizza angrily as he spoke.

"So how do you plan to enact your revenge?" Andrew asked.

"Wait! Are we forgetting the fact that he just said "less than a century"? How old are you actually?" John suddenly asked with a curious eye.

"... About a millenia."

At that, John leaned on the couch with a shocked look and just ate another pizza trying to process that.

Azazel turned back to Andrew and spoke seriously "I want to be stronger and I need your help to take him down."

"Oho?" Andrew raised an eyebrow at that "And what's in it for me, for us?"

"I can't really offer anything valuable but you will have my utmost and absolute loyalty till the end of my long life." Azazel replied with no hesitation while clenching his hand in tension.

"Mhn... Hmm?" Andrew thought for a moment but then he found something unusual when he routinely spreads his [Psionic Domain] and this interrupted his train of thought as he turned to the floor-to-ceiling window.

"What is it?" Illyana asked as she also turned to the window while still eating a pizza till now. John and Azazel also turned to look curiously.

"... There's some pests." Andrew said calmly as he waved his hand and a force-field covered the four of them.

CLASH!! BOOM!!

The glass window suddenly broke as two grenades was thrown in and rolled to their location and took off.

Half of the couch that was unprotected was directly annihilated and the vicinity became a mess as dust and debris flown everywhere while still not being able to enter the force-field.

Illyana, John and Azazel all immediately stood up in alertness as they prepared themselves for battle.

Andrew also stood up and waved his hand which made Azazel to suddenly fell to his knees as he clutches his nape with agony visible to his face.

Illyana and John just looked as they know that Andrew was doing this for a reason.

After a two seconds. A tiny metallic device emerged from his nape as it broke a few veins and this emergence was followed by a line of blood that flows through Azazel's back.

Illyana and John looked curiously as the object lands on the ground where Azazel was currently sitting.

Andrew stepped on it and crushed it as John stretched his hand to Azazel who took it and stood up after recovering from the pain.

"If it's already obvious. That thing is a tracker that those scientists embedded in you after they caught you." Andrew informed them as Azazel nodded while anger is churning inside him remembering the prospect of being powerless in the hands of those humans.

Swing! Tap!

A few figures that is wearing what seems to be SWAT combat suits came in the window while swinging from above with strings attached to their waists.

But seeing that their targets was still alive and currently all looking at them silently. They didn't bother removing the harnesses and immediately lifted their guns and fired at the targets. All this action just took a few moments which displays their skills.

The bullets all slammed uselessly to the force-field while Andrew turned to his group and waves his hand to them as he also gave them a personal force-field as he was pretty sure that this pests brought their mutant "cure" in a bullet form that can even pierce through his durability much less Azazel.

"It's a personal force-field to prevent those mutant depowering bullets to pierce through you." Andrew explained seeing their confused looks.

Andrew who saw them nodding took down the big force-field as the bullets eventually smalled at them which just repeats the same what happened to earlier as all the bullets just dropped to the ground.

Andrew turned to the three and spoke "Let loose." before flying through the ceiling – breaking it in the process – as he came out above while the morning sun greeted his entrance.

All the soldiers outside immediately saw him and pointed all their weapons at him and began firing. Andrew who saw them just muttered "I'm beginning to get tired with guns."

The front of the house broke as a sea of light blue fire swallowed the nearby soldiers and burned them to a crisp in a matter of few moments as John came out of the destroyed house with a blue fire hovering above his palm.

Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta

Numerous bullets began impacting the floating Andrew as he turned to the shooters and points his palm on their direction. A concentrated flame appeared on his palm and with a fantastical sound, the flame enlarged and became a meter wide beam of concentrated flame that cuts through and destroyed the vehicles of the assailants and also claimed a few lives of those slow to react.

Andrew looks at his hand and stretched it out again and this time, the beam was made much quicker as it traveled and destroyed all in its range.

After throwing a few balls of concentrated flames. Andrew blurred as he flew down with immense speed as he came face to face with the soldiers who was stunned as the former lifts his hand and a beam came out of it that reduced them to a burnt bones.

Andrew looked at the slowly backing away soldiers as he smirked and the one sided battle began.

..

Illyana was as usual and is currently moving with amazing speed as she cuts everyone she passes through and leaves them in two or multiple pieces. Bullets would sometimes be able to clash against her but all was futile as it all just dropped to the ground, flattened.

Azazel was disappearing left and right with a knife in hand as he stabbed all the soldiers in the neck or eye while sometimes he would points his hand and a wave of energy would come out of it and paralyze his enemies till they can't move anymore.

John was not just relying on his flame control as he knows how his new strength can do wonders as he was now currently running from everywhere while punching and kicking as he displayed a rookie level of fighting but this was overwhelmed by the fact that his enemies would fly away — while breaking a bone or two — after his punch or kick.

"We are currently live here in New York and we can see what we assume to be four mutants fighting an army of soldiers.. just from here, we can already see the casualties of this battle as the road is littered with the bodies of civilians. We don't really know the reason for thi–.

W-wait. We have just received a hot news that these mutants was the one responsible for terrorizing numerous facilities for advancing human lives like medicines and stuff and it seemed that this is the reason for this battle.." A reporter spoke bravely while riding inside a chopper as the air whipped and caused her hair to cover face but she steeled through as she motioned for the camera man to focus the live to what's currently happening below as they are currently airborne.

In the footage. Four mutants are currently battling the soldiers as of those is teleporting everywhere and stabbing the soldiers through their vital points using a kitchen knife while the other is a girl using a glowing sword and the other is controlling a wave of flames.

The last one was the one dealing the most damage as he points his finger and laser like beam would come out and annihilate all in its trajectory.

Some of those in the X-Mansion all stood up seeing this as they quickly went to inform their professor.

—-—

The four of them eventually managed to end the soldiers down to their last soul as they now all stood together while looking up to the flying news chopper.

Andrew — who now stood in the middle of all the corpses — waved his hand and covered the four of them with the invisibility force-field as they began floating and came by the side of the news chopper.

He waved his hand and removed the invisibility effect as the pilot, camera man and reporter all jumped in fright from their sudden appearance as they looked at the group nervously while the camera man instinctively focuses his camera to the group.

Illyana, John and Azazel except for Andrew are now currently sporting their original and undisguised look as the whole world bore witness to their looks and some was shocked by the look of Azazel while some performed their sign of the cross praying to sweep the devil away from their world.

Andrew looked at the occupants of the chopper for a bit and then looked at the camera itself. He then formed a barrier around the chopper while leaving the blade out to isolate the loud sound as much as he can as he spoke:

"I know you are watching so listen to this very carefully. No matter how much you send to us. Now matter how much you delude yourself that you will eventually win and succeed with your little evil plan of eradicating the mutant kind.

You won't win. Because You. Are. Weak. You're gonna send your little evil organization? I will just crush them all just like how i can easily burst your little insane head. So gear up and prepare yourself, because your end is near."

After saying that. Andrew activated the invisibility mode of his force-field as they flew away with a relatively fast pace.

[Unknown Location]

Bang! Bang! Bang!..

William Stryker Jr. repeatedly smashed the Tv controller to his table and forcefully throws it to the wall as he panted heavily because of anger. He gritted his teeth in rage "He dares threaten me? Me?! William Fucking Stryker?!"

Yes. William Stryker was the one who sent those soldiers on the orders of apprehending terrorists who destroyed government properties. Stryker used his big connections in the government to make it look like that his mutant experimentation facilities were in fact some kind of facility that focuses on things that will make the humanity as a whole advance like medicines and technology.

This was immediately supported by other anti-mutant activists in the government and they even went on their way to fool the president himself just to cover this whole shit up.

Stryker continued to rage for a while and then calmed down as a calm look replaced his earlier visage like a magic in an instant as a calculated look appears in his eyes as crossed his hands while leaning on his table like some kind of genius evil master.

"This mutants are starting to become more and more dangerous and their threat to the whole human race itself is getting bigger and bigger.. I need to do something.. But this time, i need to have allies. Real and useful allies. Someone who shares my goal and someone good enough to achieve my perfect world without those pestering cancers." Stryker mumbled to himself and one name surfaced in his mind as he couldn't help but smile in glee.
