Ch 5: Calm Before Storm

While Jeremy was preparing his gift for the Hand the past few days they were in chaos. After all, suddenly their group of dragon bone hunting team disappeared. And from intel they get from survivors it was because of a giant spider-like creature.

Not only that no matter how many people they send they still couldn't kill this creature which only increased the number of victims and losses on their side. And it seems the spider wasn't sitting in its layer the last few days it was also hunting other people that were passing by the factory.

Because of this urban legend about Charles the Spider Train. The name Charles comes from the logo that was placed on its train shell. People start creating many stories in their minds and many versions of them were created.

But few things remained the same its terrifying mouth that was filled with sharp teeth and its main body is train-like with eight spider-like legs. And soon this urban legend starts reaching the ears of many big forces whether it's accidentally or not.

"You know I always like to drink a cup of hot milk after I get up from my bed. It always feels very refreshing. Whatcha gonna say, old man?" Jeremy said while looking at the old man that was tied to the chair. The old man is called codename Stick he is a senior member of the Chaste organization that was created to destroy the Hand.

Beside him, two young men were tied to the chair. They are also from Chaste but different from Stick who has bruised eye These two are without any visible wounds. The reason is simple Stick could resist Jeremy's mind control a little bit and these two couldn't resist it.

Stick looked at Jeremy with a gloomy face and asked: "Did the Hand send you?"

"Not really," Jeremy said while taking a sip from his cup of hot milk.

"Then why did you do this? You come to raid our base a few days ago and killed dozens of our people. You didn't care about whether your target is a man, woman, or even child. You killed them one after another with a smile on your face. You even didn't leave their bodies to get buried or cremated." Stick said in a deep tone. "Then you suddenly left three of us alive. Tell me your reason. Nobody will do what you did without reason."

"My reason? Do you believe me if I said it was because Netflix writers couldn't write a decent storyline for you guys?" Hearing Jeremy answer trio was showing a 'Dude WTF are you talking about?' face. Jeremy just smiled at them and said: "Nah, I am just kidding."

Then Jeremy places his half drank hot milk on the table beside himself walks towards the window that is covered in a curtain and opens the window curtain. This reveals to the trio that they are in the forest not in the city.

"You know it's a very beautiful place. Green life almost didn't have contact with humanity. It's very heart-wrenching to know what happens next to it." While saying that Jeremy was looking at a tightly wrapped metal box on the floor. The box wasn't too big it was 10x10x10 cm.

The trio gives questioning look at Jeremy first then they become on guard when he looked at the iron box. Their instinct told them Jeremy wasn't planning something good. And they get a dangerous feeling from whatever is inside that box.

"You know Mars had a life once too. I am talking about bacteria-like creatures or plants I am talking about a real living creature." Jeremy starts walking toward the metal box slowly. Then he took the box from the ground and start unwrapping it.

"It was a predator. A dangerous one at that." Then Jeremy turns to the trio and said: "I wanna play a game with you. If you get out from here and head towards the north about 15 miles away from here there is a small town from there you can get on a bus that heads to New York City. It cost about 10 dollars for each person. I will leave two hundred dollars here after I untie you you guys will run to the town for your lives. If you can reach there alive I will let you guys go if you can't then game over."

Then Jeremy goes to the trio and unties them. The moment they untied they snatches two hundred dollars Jeremy put on the table and headed towards North. They ran for their lives because they know Jeremy will release something. And they were sure it wasn't some pet dog or cat.

Seeing them leave Jeremy drank the rest of the milk and then looked at the old lady who is sitting on a chair motionless. If you weren't hearing her breathing you could have thought she is dead.

Jeremy walks in front of the woman with a metal box and said: "Thank you for all your hospitality, Amanda. May god bless you."

Then he opens the box. From the box a small creature that looks like tissue or something like that. Then it jumps to old Amanda and gets inside her mouth. From then horrifying scene happened. Her body starts losing fat and other things speed visible eyes and white translucent tentacles like thing comes out from Amanda's mouth and start wrapping around Amanda.

Soon it starts to absorb not only nutrition from Amanda but also her muscles, blood, bone, and cells. And finally, Amanda fully absorbed and reveals a creature that looks like a translucent-skinned multi-headed planarian-like creature. Jeremy looked at it and said: "Go have a feast."

Hearing its master order creature jump out of the window and head towards the north. And wherever he goes plants will start dying. Jeremy's face didn't change at all he just looked at the status window of his new helper.

…

Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters aka X Academy is Academy for mutants. Also HQ of X Men mutant superhero team. Well like other hero teams, they aren't liked by politicians and citizens very much.

After all, as we know humanity isn't the best at accepting new things. Especially if that new things are beings that are far more powerful than themselves. Humanity either wants to neutralize them or have control over them. That's like animals humanity neutralized dangerous ones while other ones are under the control of humanity. Anyway, tonight is destined to be a little special the reason is?

"Be quiet Bobby! We need to move quickly if we don't wanna be caught by teacher Ororo." Kitty the leader of a little group of teenagers that are sneaking out of the academy said to the boy behind her.

Bobby or Robert Louis Drake also nicknamed Iceman in the academy looked at his playful friend and couldn't help but let out a sigh. Suddenly he felt someone push him from behind he turned around and saw his other friend Pyro Simon Lasker.

"C'mon Bobby move your ass quicker I don't wanna find by that Ororo witch. Last time she made me clean the boys' toilet for a whole month." Pyro said while pushing his friend even stronger.

Bobby wanted to say then why did you come here in the first place. But remembered he was with them so could only swallow his words. And with that group of mutant teenagers leave the X Academy territory.

"Well, where are we going anyway?" Berzerker Ray Crisp asked while looking around. They are now in the basic forest that no one touched. What will they do from here? He doesn't wanna spend the whole night in the forest without any plan.

"Well, I think Kitty has a plan after all she dragged us out. And you better be." Sunspot Robert da Costa said while looking around. If Kitty has no plans then he doesn't like the fact that he risking his PS3 just for this.

"C'mon guys I am sure she has some insanely good plans with herself. She always does." Magma Amara said while looking at Kitty with a bright smile. She always knows Kitty had some plans when she sneaks out with others.

"You got it, girl. Do you guys see this?" Then Kitty showed them a video of Charles The Spider Train. And said: "This is new internet urban legend Charles The Spider Train. I did a little research and found the lair may be very close to our academy. So as future superheroes, we need to check on this dangerous creature."

"Sounds good to me. If you are scared you're better off now sun boy. After all, it's dark out here your sun daddy doesn't seem seen anywhere." Berzerker said while looking at Sunspot.

"Huh? I am scared are you sure about it? It's a pretty big word for someone to scream like a girl when saw a mouse in the shower." Sunspot said while looking at Kitty and said: "Let's go. I wanna see how scary that Charles can be."

"Hey! That mouse thing happened only one time. We agreed to not talk about it." Like this group of teenage mutants headed toward Charles's lair.
