Phoenix Saga Part 5

//

This is how we got to this situation.

Charles Xavier and the X-Men fall silent.

"What's wrong boy, aren't we welcome here?" the one who asked that question was Logan.

"No, you guys can come whenever you want, what I want to know is how Jean ended up in that situation and who is the woman that came with you" I answered them shaking my head and looking at Lilandra.

They all fall silent again.

After a few seconds of silence, Charles begins to speak.

"Then let me introduce Princess Lilandra Neramani, she is from the Shi'ar planet"

Lilandra Neramani steps forward and says:

"Nice to meet you Governor of Genosha, Alex Wayne"

Nodding my head, I say:

"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Neramani"

I look at Charles and ask him:

"So what's a space princess doing on our planet?"

"You don't seem surprised by my presence" Lilandra commented.

"I have a friend who keeps me up to date on what's going on in space" I said with a shrug.

Charles and the X-men are shocked to hear my words.

"Then you must know about the civil war on my planet, right?" Lilandra asked.

"Yes, I know" I answered.

"The reason behind this war is what my brother, Emperor D'ken, wants to do. He intends to take over the entire universe using an object of great power called the M'kraan Crystal, upon learning of his plans I decided to escape with the crystal and seek help to stop it and that's where I met the X-Men" Lilandra recounted.

I nod my head at her words.

It seems that everything is the same as what happened in the comics with a few changes and it seems that the special psychic connection between Charles and Lilandra did not happen, but that they met by coincidence.

"In our case, we were helping an acquaintance who had problems in a space base, that's when we met her being attacked. When we were helping her, a powerful cosmic radiation attacked us and Jean decided to use her power to protect us, thanks to that we were able to escape safe but she was knocked unconscious" Charles added.

Listening to Charles' words, it seems that there really were some significant changes.

I'm also curious about the M'kraan Crystal, as I want to see what it looks like.

Curious, I look at Lilandra and ask her:

"So where is that crystal?"

"In a safe place" Lilandra answered forcefully without explaining more.

I shrug nonchalantly, I understand her concerns so I'm not bothered by her attitude.

Besides, I already sent Est to check something out.

Since when the X-Men got here, using Alexa's scanners, I didn't detect anything like the M'kraan Crystal, after all that object must release a type of energy similar to the Stones or Est's but we did not find a trace like that.

So she had to hide it somewhere off Earth.

"I see, if you want to stay here you can stay in the lab rooms so you can be close to Jean and don't worry, Genosha is the safest place" I said to them with a smile.

The X-Men nod and quickly leave the office as they are worried about Jean.

Emma, who had been silent during my conversation with the X-Men, asks me:

"What do you want us to do, Alex?"

"Tell all members of the Council what you heard in this meeting, and be prepared in case some idiot intends to attack us" I answered calmly.

Nodding her head, she uses her powers and begins to inform the others of the situation.

I was lost in thought as I waited for Est to return.

Although she is one of the strongest existences, I couldn't help but be worried.

The Marvel Universe is really unpredictable.

In this Universe, even a mortal can kill a god.

Planet Jupiter

A small figure appeared out of nowhere on the surface of Jupiter as she looked around curiously.

She is Est.

She had received a mission from Alex to find out if there was an object in the solar system with an energy similar to the Stone he possesses.

She was randomly checking the solar system and this was the fourth planet she checked.

This was because Alex did not specify where to start her search.

So Est with her mentality of a child, just searched for it in her own way.

But the girl should not be underestimated, she was very good at detecting lies and malicious thoughts towards her.

Extending her cosmic sense across the planet, she didn't detect any type of energy similar to the Stone.

After a few seconds, she disappeared, and minutes later she reappeared on Saturn.

But her search was fruitless.

As she thought about leaving Saturn, she frowned and looked at the moons of this planet.

Disappearing again, she headed for Saturn's largest moon, Titan.

Arriving there, she realized that this place harbored intelligent life due to the advanced city that she could see in front of her.

Although there was only this city, since when checking all of Titan with her cosmic sense, she did not find another place like this.

But she quickly lost interest as she couldn't find what she was looking for.

After checking all the planets in the solar system, she was disappointed that she couldn't find what Alex was looking for.

This bothered her but she could not do anything and decided to return to Earth.

A few minutes later, she appeared a few kilometers from the Earth.

And when she was about to enter the planet, she stopped and looked in the direction of the Moon.

She detected a pulse of cosmic energy from that place that called her.

She didn't know what to do, Alex had told her that a being called The Watcher lives in that place and to be careful, that's why she didn't check the Moon.

But now that she felt that energy, she checked that place and to her surprise, she found an energy similar to that of the Stone, although it was very small and if she had not concentrated, she would not have detected it.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she decided to go to the Moon.
