As the warship landed near the school, Storm went and made a mist surrounding the whole school. The mist was so thick that people weren't able to look at their own hands. She did that to hide their spaceship. Though the spaceship had a cloaking system, the X-men didn't want to take any risks in exposing themselves.
It was not that they were scared about the normal people now, it was just that they didn't want more media attention. In the last few days they had got that enough. The mutants already knew that they would arrive from Barry as they had already contacted him.
Barry and Pietro were already back at the school after taking care of the stray spaceships that had landed on Earth. Though jet fighters of the respective countries were sent to take care of them, who could be as fast Barry and Pietro?
"Seems like you both had fun."
"We finally ran so much, I gulped down 12 pizzas, but still feel hungry." Peitro said with excitement.
"I have no idea of how many times I have run across the whole planet. But it was fun. Never had this much excitement since the Turtle."
"Glad that you both did. Professor, we might need your help in the next case." Victor as he saw from the corner of his eye the Professor approaching in his wheelchair.
"Sure. What do you need?"
"We have the captain of their ship inside. We would like you to look into his mind." Tony said.
"Hmm. You want it now. Isn't it right to do this with your whole team nearby?"
"John and the team are busy in various other places. We would do things fast and get it over with."
"Alright. Bring him to the main hall. We will all look into this together." Charles said.
"We will be opening the portals today and you should tell all the mutants to get ready for moving to our universe." Victor reminded them.
"They are ready to move. Many of them have reached the major cities. And those who haven't, they are one their way. The emergence of alien spaceships had made it easy to convince them. They would rather trust someone who had helped them over the one they had no idea about."
"Hahahah. They just don't know that we are the same people."
The sedated body of the alien was taken inside. By that time all the other X-men were back and they were all curious about what was the story of these bugs. Though Miss Chavez had spoken of their story, they wanted to see the other side.
A dimension which was based on antimatter. They were still not over the fact that there was a multiverse out there and now there was a separate dimension. This in itself was mind blowing.
After the body was laid down. Charles went to the head side of the body and levitated his hands over the head of the captain.
And after a few minutes of closing his eyes and looking deep inside his mind he put his head up. And everybody looking at Charles could easily see that Charles had sweat on his shiny forehead. It was glistening in the light which his bald head didn't have a few seconds ago.
"Annihilus is dead!!"
",....."
There was a total silence in the room when Charles announced that. They couldn't even process what just Charles said. This was unprecedented and something that none of them expected to hear.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Knull came and killed him. Or it will be better to say he came used the sword in him. His generals were present when this happened. You have spoken of Knull before. Yes? About his sword? I think this is the same person. He looks more terrifying than I imagined."
Charles had a grave face when he said that. Only he saw how Knull looks like and the bugs that he had seen before as they rampaged around looked like a innocent baby.
Knull was at least 10 feet tall with long legs and hands. He looked bony and pale, like he was some kind of zombie that just had woken up from the grave. He was skinny to the extreme with only skin could be seen plastered to his bones. His face looked hollow with hollow cheeks and black hollowed eyes. His teeth could be seen protruding out from his lips and all of his teeth were extremely sharp and pointed.
He was what children sees in nightmare. He had all the perks to give Grinch a run for his money. And the way he made Annihilus his slave was more brutal. He stabbed with his huge black sword right through his chest. He was pretty sure that with that attack Annihilus should be dead.
But miraculously he woke up like a zombie. He looked like the same, only difference were his eyes.
His eyes had a swirling irises.

This was probably the most horrific thing he had ever seen. Even Jean's Phoenix Force powers were not as horrific as this one. He has no idea of what his powers are but the sheer presence of him was enough to drop the temperature of the room to below the freezing point.
"We need to get out of here. We aren't safe. If it is Knull, the outcome is already the worst."
Tony said with a grave face. He thought they would win a huge one after this battle but it seemed like the real battle hadn't even started.
"I will break the talisman in the next 3 hours and urge the other mutants to travel to the cities fast." Charles said as he too understood that their world wasn't exactly safe. This time John sent them back up because he had his mind separated in looking for Annihilus. But now he is dead.
All he needed to do was concentrate on Knull for now. Annihilus didn't matter any more. His army would be a headache but at least John wouldn't have to go and search for him.
"Barry, are all things taken care of?" Victor asked. They needed to finish everything here fast before they left.
"All done. All we need to do now is leave."
Barry, who always jokes, could understand the gravity of the situation.
Surprisingly, the US military or the President didn't show up to the school to meet Tony and Victor. Probably because they were too scared of them. At first the mutants themselves were a threat. Especially now when the mutants of the Brotherhood were present at the school.
Though the current President didn't have blood of the mutants in his hands, he was still guilty of having knowledge of the various problems with the Sentinel Program and thus he too would be held guilty. He didn't want to die just because he was extremely curious of the 'alien' humans.
Charles had gone to Cerebro to spread awareness of the grave situation that they were in and that they needed to move fast. Not that they weren't already doing so!!
In this way the next 3 hours went by without any kind of weird incident or an attack from the negative zone. They thought Knull would send his army of bugs and maybe symbiotes. But miraculously, nobody came. And even the wormhole that was created on Mars closed in on itself.
"Did Knull have a change of heart or something?" Victor said after seeing that the wormhole just closed.
"What is he thinking? Opening a wormhole right over Earth?"
"Maybe he will just give up and concentrate on 616 now. He has a huge army. Almost double of what we were supposed to control. If he goes on sending troops here it might be a loss for his assault over 616."
Those words came from Professor X.
Victor, Tony, Barry and Pietro were all looking at Professor with a weird look.
"Got to hand it to you Professor. Without even going to 616 you came to this conclusion and from the looks of it, it seems that you are probably correct."
Charles felt a little shy hearing such praise from Victor. He had heard a lot about 616 when Knull was discussed last time. He could understand that 616 was very important in all of their multiverse and all these years of them living under the threat of humans made many of them being half 'detectives'.
"If it's only 616 then it's not a problem. I am happy to tackle him in one universe instead of fighting him on different fronts. We won't even know what would be going on in a different universe while fighting each other." Tony said.
"Leave that thought for now. Professor, I think you should open the portals now. It's time."
Charles nodded his head and broke the talisman with hand after bringing it out. His hands were shaking when he broke it. Breaking of this talisman meant that they were officially no longer citizens of Earth but of a moon.
A new place where there would be more dangers but there would be freedom. Those who are deprived know what is the price of freedom. He was excited but a little apprehensive too. The first enemy in itself was a huge one that they were going to face. Though the Avengers never asked for their help but since they were in another world and living free of cost, the least they could do was provide the 'rent' money.
As the talisman broke huge portals started opening in famous places in all major cities. The mutants were already given directions on where to be present. When John came last time he had already marked the places where the portals needed to be opened. The mutants in almost all of the places were ready with all of their luggage and belongings to go to the other side. The aliens had given all of them a scare and they didn't want to see Earth being the battlefield of an intergalactic war.
