Chapter 42 - Live [1]
[May of 2012]
[°Stryker's Mutant Facility°]
3rd Person P.O.V
In Triskelion. Nick Fury was constantly barking orders at his agents to track down the location where the live was being streamed at as he watched it with a frown on his face.
Even though he knows that mutant experimentation was a thing, he still haven't one with his own eyes so he watched the live with undivided attention.
...
The X-Men on the X-Mansion was also watching while Xavier made his team suit up and get ready.
...
The government was also watching the live while some were trying to take it down in the same time.
The live was quickly garnering viewers upon viewers as it reached 20 million viewers by the time Andrew finished the first wave of soldiers that came at him.
...
Andrew punched the last soldier of the first batch as the guy flew away and slammed at the wall.
His attention on the other hand was focused on one figure hiding within the underground of the facility as he made Sublime not even able to move an inch while he was fighting. He was also using his improved and much stronger Telepathy to not let the bacteria escape this particular physical body of him.
He walked calmly while his hands was tucked inside his pockets. He's wearing a casual outfit with just a black sweater and pants, complimented by combat boots.
The camera orbits around him, capturing the surroundings.
At the same time. Another battle is already taking place within the cyberspace as he was making his live go around the internet using the weak technopathy he got from the kid in X-Mansion.
His technopathy was enabling him to fight the hackers that was trying to take down his live while others were trying to pinpoint where is his location.
The reason that the weak technopathy he got from the kid was making him enable to do this kinds of things was he actually enhanced the capabilities of this particular metagene and made it stronger to the point that not even S.H.I.E.L.D's best hackers was having a difficulty taking down the firewalls that he was constantly putting up.
Tap, Tap, Tap..
Footsteps can be heard again as Andrew made the camera behind him to focus on what he was currently seeing.
One figures revealed himself from the large door. The person was a male, he stood at approximately 6'5 and wasn't wearing anything on his upper body. He got a wild and feral expression as saliva sometimes dripped from his lips as if he can't control himself.
Andrew immediately recognized the guy as the latter brought his hands to side in a forceful manner as his nails turned sharp and relatively long. The next special thing about his long nails was it was metal.
The former turned his head and looked at the orbiting camera around him as he talked to the people that was currently watching the live "This is one example of extreme mutant cruelty. This poor one's been brainwashed by those who experimented on him as they are trying to build mutant killing machines that will not only do the dirty works for them.
Simultaneously, It will also made you all hate the mutants as a whole. Its like hitting two birds in one stone. They're not only cruel, but also terrifyingly brilliant."
The people around the world who was watching using their devices all gasped in surprise as fear began budding within them at the fact that there would actually be people who would do this kinds of things just for their hate towards someone.
At the same time, their fear and trepidation towards the mutantkind as a whole was beginning to lessen as they watched and listen to the mutant named Psionix as he stormed his way trying to save his own race.
It was inspiring and warm to see someone doing this kind of endeavor as they unconsciously fixed their sitting and lying position while they undivided their attention and just focused on the live.
Some of them even began spreading the live and also shared it to other streaming platforms as the live's view count continued rising dramatically.
"Grrrrr!" Victor Creed a.k.a Sabretooth fiercely glared at him while showing his sharp teeth as his brain-washed mind already had enough of the talking of the frail looking guy without facial features.
Sabretooth then moved as he began running towards Andrew with impressive speed. He quickly reached the still standing Andrew and made a slash at him.
Andrew looked at the incoming feral mutant with amusement as he entertained the guy. He dodged the slash with ease and immediately counter-attack by spartan kicking the mutant square to the stomach.
Thud! Thud!
Sabretooth's body arched as he flew away with speed like an arrow released from its bow. He crashed numerous times to the ground like a skipping stone and came to a halt after a slamming at a solid wall.
Crack! Kacha!
"Arrrgghh!" The bones at his back inevitably cracked from the force as he yelled in pain while slumping at the ground like a broken toy.
But after a few seconds, Sabretooth was already trying to stand up as the broken and crushed bones within his body regenerated to its normal state like nothing even happened.
""Oh!""
The people watching from the live all gasped in surprise after seeing that amazing scene.
"Bamf!"
Sabretooth was ready for round 2 when something caught his and Andrew's attention.
At the side of the two, two people appeared from a black smoke as the camera immediately focused its lenses to the gate crashers.
The ones who appeared were Hank McCoy and Kurt Wagner as the latter quickly disappeared and appeared again in his position as he brought another person with him.
"Bamf!" "Bamf!" "Bamf!" "Bamf!"
Nightcrawler continously teleported the next seconds as the whole gang was completed after a moment.
Andrew looked at them for a moment and then made the orbiting phone come to his hand as he leveled it to his face while the camera was still focused on the newly arrived X-Men "And here, Let me introduce you all to the X-Men, you may already know a few of them as they are sometimes active when mutants who abuses their power wreaks havoc and its up to their hands to stopping them."
Andrew continued while the camera's lenses focused to the one in wheelchair "This guy right here is their founder and leader, Mr. Charles Xavier!"
Charles frowned a bit as the lenses focused on him but it then shifted its focus as Andrew spoke again "This metal statue-looking man right here is one of the most amiable among them."
The viewers was amazed as they looked at the Colossus as the metal look of him caught them off guard as their curiosities was peeked.
"And this guy right here is codenamed Nightcrawler, and as you all have seen already, he have the ability to teleport, and I know you are all wondering what's wrong with their appearance right?"
Ding!
Ding!
Andrew read and saw numerous comments asking why and etc, he was ready to speak again when he saw Sabretooth moving to attack again but he just constricted the mutant's body and made him not able to move for now.
He then finally spoke "Well first, listen very carefully to my words. You all should be first familiarize yourself to the metagene, the gene that gives us our special abilities, can vary from individuals.
There are those who's mutation is physical based. For example; someone may gain the keen sense of smell similar to a dog and as such, they have the possibility to undergo a physical change, like a developing a dog ears or something.
At the same time. There are those who are lucky as their looks wouldn't change when they awaken their abilities. They may awaken the ability to control elements like fire, electricity like this woman right here." Andrew made the camera focus to Storm.
He was ready to continue when Charles rolled forward "Excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt but are you really going to reveal to them things that they aren't ready to hear about?"
Andrew looked directly at Charles which made the latter a bit uncomfortable as he can't see any expression to the featureless face of the former and at the same time, he also can't enter the mind of the man as if there's an impenetrable fortress surrounding his mind.
Andrew took a moment and replied, his answer clearly heard by the camera and the viewers. "They all need to know about these things. The more they remain ignorant, the higher the chances that they'll just get swayed by the fake truth that the society feed on them. They say that ignorance is a bliss, but I object, because eternal ignorance is something that i can't stand and ignore."
Andrew finished as he turned back to the phone. He and the X-Men then heard numerous footsteps from within the facility as the latter prepared themselves.
Another battalion of soldiers appeared carrying with them high caliber gun while its bullets were the metagene deactivating ones.
Charles Xavier eye's widened as he "saw" that the soldiers were carrying guns with bullets that can deactivate thir gifts, he then notified the whole X-Men's mind of the predicament as they all prepared themselves.
The soldiers was ready to fire their guns when Alex Summers who was surprisingly quiet throughout the whole conversation lifted his hand and fired a blast of red cosmic energy. He controlled the energy output to weaker levels as it struck all struck the soldiers but didn't break any of their bones.
The soldiers was like a domino as when the front line fell from the attack of Havoc, they all also fell and followed by those in the back. Alex stopped his attack while he was startled by a clap.
"Pa! And that's an example of what i was telling you about. He and I are one of the lucky ones who didn't develop any physical mutation." Andrew clapped his hand in front of the camera and spoke like a true live streamer.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Countless comments began flooding the comment section rapidly like a swarm of wasps as Andrew began walking forward followed by the X-Men – Into the inner section of the facility.
—-—
As they all came inside the inner section, they were greeted by the final battalion of soldiers who at first tried to their hardest to resist Andrew, but all was futile as the latter just made them all slam to walls or floor as he continued walking while talking to the camera.
"Now, i will tell you about the mutantkind itself. Or should say, Meta-humans. Us metas gains our powers because of genetic mutation cause by metagene that i have already mentioned earlier.
The meta-humans are the next step to the evolution of the human genome. Yes, you heard that right, no matter what every mutant-hater out there may say, like how we are a nature's mistake, the devil's spawns, God's mistake or whatever, one thing is true; science never lies.
And I will say this to you all. Some of you must be familiar with how the homo sapiens replaced the neantherdals?" Andrew looked at the phone and saw some of them agreeing.
He continued walking the long big corridor as he continued speaking "Then, what if I say to you that the same thing is about to happen with homo sapiens with the emergence of the homo sapiens superior?"
He took a look and saw that the comment section was silent for a moment as the realization settled within their minds.
Ding!!
Ding!!
Ding!!
Then as if on cue, the comments all came back crashing in as they expressed their amazement, puzzlement and of course fear.
Andrew then spoke "Now, now, you must not get all crazy and get an existential crisis as you may have misunderstood something. What i mean to say is that most of the human population already carries the metagene within them. And nothing can stop that, it's inevitable.
For those who can't still understand, no, you will suddenly die out of nowhere because of the emergence of the homo superior. It just means that the eventual transformation of the human race as a whole is inevitable and I'm pretty sure that in about.. Hmm.. Maybe 50 to 100 years, The whole population of this planet will already be meta-humans at that point.
Andrew looked at the comments and saw most of them expressing their amazement while some was already being racist as they typed continuously saying that humans will forever and whatnot.
Andrew just removed all of those kinds of users as they're interfering in his little scheme.
He then looked directly to the camera as he spoke "From my rough estimate, maybe about 70 to 79% of the population already has the potential to be a meta.. But I need to ask you question..
Are you ready to be one? Are you ready to be a part of us? To be part of something that will matter in the grand scheme of this world?"
