The Rising of the Anomaly

Following planetary devastatation in the aftermath of WWIII, humanity is driven to the brink of extinction as the world is turned into a nuclear wasteland. In order to prevent humanity from being wiped out, a large enclosed dome called the Sanctuary was built during WWIII, saving a small fraction of the world's population. Overtime, the radiation results in the proliferation of powerful, vicious creatures known as Mutants. Humanity remained sheltered in the Sanctuary, with no way of defending themselves against these creatures, until... A few decades later, the worldwide radiation results in an evolution in all newly born humans, known as Paragons. Specifically, they are born with a special energy known as X-Factor Energy, or XFE for short, allowing them to potentially harness and manifest this energy into weapon-like forms, giving humanity a way to defend themselves against the rapidly multiplying Mutants. However, only about five percent of Paragons could successfully manifest their XFE, known as Prodigies. Non-Prodigies are sometimes derogatorily referred to as Duds. However, of the ninety-five percent of Paragons that fail to become Prodigies, there is a miniscule chance of them developing an ability different to those of the Prodigies. The rare few who achieve this are known as Anomalies. Kilzachs is a Paragon who, following a series of unfortunate incidents before getting disowned by his father for not turning out to be a Prodigy, finds himself hitting rock bottom through no fault of his own. Furious and outraged, he finds a glimmer of hope when he realizes that he is an Anomaly, and decides to keep it a secret. Armed with the ability to manipulate time and space, he sets out to prove all those who put him down wrong, by becoming an X-Warrior while maintaining that he's just a Dud with no abilities. Along the way, he does not hesitate to grab any opportunities for revenge...

Chapter 268 - First Official Mission

"Oh, man, this is so freaking exciting!" Exclaimed Mitchell with a grin. 

"Would you pipe down already?" I sighed in response. 

"No way, it's our first official Mission as full-fledged X-Warriors, of course I'm gonna be thrilled about that!" He replied excitedly. 

"You're overreacting, the only thing that's changed is our labels, we've been on Missions before, nothing tangible has changed, you know," Pointed out Suri objectively. 

"Have to agree, this hyped reaction is unwarranted," Added Grey with a nod. 

"Wha-...do you guys have to rain on my parade?" Grumbled Mitchell in response. 

"Come on, I think it's fine...I do agree with you guys, but at the same time, our first official Mission as full-fledged X-Warriors is pretty cool," Spoke up Seila. 

Her too? 

"Well, at least one of you gets it," Sighed Mitchell wistfully.
