Total chaos

Charles went to the Cerebro after he had returned. He needed to convince people again. He hoped that the videos which had been uploaded would play a huge role in convincing these people to move. Before the video was uploaded GAIA had already edited it in the most warm and welcoming way possible showing the new world to them.

The main secrets were not leaked but whatever was shown was enough to make any person go wild.

As Charles was using Cerebro to look for all the mutants who were scattered all around the globe, he noticed a weird trend. He could see that many people on Earth were panicking. Especially when he got a glimpse of the high ranking officials.

Out of curiosity, he peeped into one of the minds of the people and he was devastated by what he saw. He saw huge black colored spaceships coming out a worm hole which had suddenly appeared near Mars.

The spaceships looked weird, as the body of them looked like it was made out of the body of a living thing. The spaceships had a weird white glow around them as it was travelling fast. This glow shouldn't have been there as there was no resistance from the vacuum but it seemed like the white glow around the spaceships was protecting them from something.

Charles had seen spaceships before when he was in Mars and he had seen different models too when he was there for a few moments, but he had never seen such a distinguishing model ever. And from the total number of spaceships and the sizes of them it looked like they weren't travelling as a welcoming party but as an invasion force.

And these spaceships were travelling to their Earth. And from the minds of the people whom he had peeped he knew that the spaceships would reach here in 2 days. He had 2 days now to save people.

Charles took a deep breath and removed the helmet and looked at Erik. Erik seeing the face of Charles knew something wasn't right. They had been friends for such a long time. He could always tell if something wasn't right.

"What is it?"

"There is an invasion force coming. And from what I can infer it is probably Annihilus and his bug army. They have spaceships like the ones of Star Wars but more linear and look totally foreign to the concept of the spaceships which we had seen on Mars. We have 2 days to evacuate and save people. There are in large numbers and I don't think our powers will be strong enough to hold them. Miss Chavez had warned us about them before, so we need to take them seriously and think of evacuation. "

"But why do you look calm in all of this?" Erik couldn't help but ask.

"I am calm because there is wormhole which had opened from our side too. More specifically near the moon. And huge spaceships have come out of it."

"Another alien invader?" Erik couldn't help but shudder thinking there were two races that came for their Earth.

"No. John has sent his army to fight for us." Charles said with a huge smile in his face. He didn't expect that after the aliens showed up there would be help even when he didn't ask for. Though John had always said that they could always ask for help, Charles didn't want to.

They owed him too much. But now it seemed like John had always been looking at their Universe even when he didn't ask.

"He really is a God."

Charles murmured.

"How do you know it's John?" Erik asked.

"I have seen those spaceships on Mars. They looked exactly the same and from the lens of Hubble telescope I could see the print of LexCorp on then, the subsidiary of John's companies." Charles said

Erik's face muscles twitched when he heard this. There would be a war soon between two advanced races and their Earth would be the spectator of it.

"We will use our powers to defend until we keep the mutants safe. I am sure some strays will leak out of the war and land here."

"There will be and this is where the mutants will come into force. Since the humans had hated the mutants, let us show the last benevolence before we leave."

Erik was dumbfounded hearing this. He didn't expect Charles to interfere the affairs of humans. Charles had always advocated against it, but it seemed like before they left he wanted the humans to see what they were going to lose.

"You are going to propagate of what is going to happen aren't you? Did John talk with you?" Erik asked. He knew that John was a telepath so he might has asked him to do some thing.

"No he didn't, but it is not required. I already know what he intends to do." Charles said.
