Capítulo 208: Plot Changes (II)
[POV Rumi]
I was quite taken aback when Jean called me out saying that she wanted to talk with me. I don't think that I have anything to tell her or advise her… or does she want to fight me? But I doubt that our match-up would anything good… after all, she isn't a hand-to-hand fighter means she would be fragile like the guy I killed yesterday with just a kick.
I mean it wasn't my fault that he was so fragile… the way he broke through that concrete wall I had thought that he would be able to withstand my full power but that wasn't the case, I didn't even use my full power though, I just covered my whole body in Armament Haki and we all know the result… he died. He shouldn't have shown up like that… it's his fault.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" I asked Jean, she looked kind of nervous. Jean was silent at first but I patiently waited for her to speak up. After a few seconds, Jean finally sighed and stared directly into my eyes.
"How did you cope up after your first kill?" Jean asked me, she was still looking me straight into the eyes… I have to say the girl is determined. But what she asked me wasn't something I was expecting…
I contemplated for a few seconds, I needed to arrange my words correctly before I started to speak up regarding this matter… at the beginning, it wasn't something I liked to talk about but now… I no longer care.
"It was bad, I mean really bad…" I paused, she didn't know that we were from another world so I needed to speak carefully "I thought of myself as a monster… since the beginning, I have loved to fight, and if my opponent was strong then I would lose all restraints… one day something similar happened, I was fighting a strong guy, I got excited and he died" I explained as briefly as I could.
"Thankfully no one blamed me for his death after all accidents happen but I blamed myself for taking someone's life. For a few months, I was completely out of it… I started to hate myself for my weakness and then I found myself fighting another strong opponent… but this time I subconsciously held myself back not to hurt the guy…" I paused and saw that Jean was intently listening to me "but I quickly found that I wasn't strong enough to beat the guy if I kept holding myself back… and my opponent truly wanted to kill me" I said, this time I didn't release a sigh… instead, a huge grin appeared on my face.
"It was a do or die fight if I kept holding back I would die and if I used my full power he might die, so I asked myself what I wanted to do. I got the answer that I didn't want to die so I let myself loose and started to fight with my full power" I finished with a smile on my face. "Thankfully the guy didn't die but he was pretty badly beaten up" I said, this happened a few years before I got together with Reo. If I had Reo with me at that time I might not have gone through that stage… but whatever happened I came out stronger, that was good!!
"Your first kill was an accident? But I want to kill someone because of revenge" Jean spoke to me looking slightly confused.
"Reasons don't matter… the things that matter are your conviction, your determination, and your will" I said while making points. "I have killed a lot of people after that, but I wasn't bothered by it… but every time I killed, there was something common… it happened in a fight" I said while nodding at myself.
Jean didn't speak up for a couple of minutes. A look of determination finally surfaced on her face and nodded her head. "Thank you for helping me Rumi" she said and walked away. I never did talks like these so it was quite an eye-opener for me…
[POV Reo]
I patiently waited for Emma to start her tale. "And the reason we went into hiding because we were being hunted down" Emma said. Eric and Raven both frowned, this had obviously piqued my interest. She said that Azazel and Angel weren't killed by Bolivar Trask… after all, that is what happened in the original timeline. But something different happened here… I was quite sure that this is what Luna had told me about but I had no fucking clue what could it be…
"Hunted down by who? Stryker, Trask?" Eric asked with a frown on his face.
"I wish that it would have been the case but we weren't that lucky… in the year of 1962, we noticed that some meta-humans had started to disappear into thin air, this sounded suspicious… we already knew about the experiments in meta-humans so we started a wild goose chance… at least, it was a wild goose chase in the beginning" Emma spoke with quite a venom in her voice.
(A/N: In the original timeline, Emma Frost, Azazel, and Angel were killed in the year 1963 but in my fanfic, it would be different. It was never confirmed but a sentinel was shown to be using Emma's diamond powers in the X-Men days of future past)
"Four years passed just like that and we kept chasing ghosts but we finally got some success" Emma said in a slightly mocking tone. "We finally got our hands on some information and heard a term U-Man, another year passed and the trail went completely dry… we were completely fed up and we were about to give up when we got some information about someone who is harvesting DNA and blood from meta-humans" Emma finished, she still had her mocking and sarcastic tone in her voice. U-Man?? Did she just fucking say U-Man?? Oh no… please don't be him…!! Please don't be him!! I am not scared but I honestly don't want to deal with that fucker.
Hearing Emma, both Eric and Raven became unhappy. But Emma decided to continue her tale "Using the latest information we arrived in Fukuoka, Japan, and started to look around but what we found was something we had never imagined. We found a completely barren building but it was a slaughterhouse… a meta-human slaughterhouse. We found 38 meta-humans butchered up meta-humans rotting inside there… blood was drained from their bodies, all of their organs were taken and they were also missing bones and bone marrow" Emma spat out in disgust.
Both Eric and Emma looked completely horrified… ok, I am already pretty sure that she is talking about Sublime now… urghh… I groaned mentally. There was nothing more to hear… but Sublime was never introduced or brought into the movie universe… though I can't be sure after all, the movie universe was portrayed quite badly. Even in the revised timeline, there were several holes in the story.
Now, that I know that Sublime is in this Universe, that means Arkea is here too… she might not be on this planet now because she was exiled by Sublime but she will eventually return… she is currently growing in power using alien technology. Sublime is also a shameless fucker… when Arkea came, he went crying to X-Men like a pussy and X-Men were the biggest fools in the whole universe that they decided to help Sublime… I mean what the fuck??!!!
"We buried the bodies but the people responsible for this were already gone, so there was nothing left to do there but all of us vowed to find who was responsible for that and continued our search" Emma said while gritting her teeth. Even though, I hate to deal with that annoying dirty fucker… I have no choice, I have to deal with it. It's like the saying goes… when life gives you lemons, then make a lemonade!!
"We continued for three more years before we found their trail in Dresden, Germany. This time we weren't late and found that the people responsible were just about to start… so, we attacked and using the chaos we were able to free all the meta-humans while killing all the scientists in there while their boss was somehow able to get away" Emma said with a smile on her face, but the smile immediately turned into a frown.
"After the successful mission, we decided to have some fun but we were soon attacked by some men in suits" Emma spat out in disgust. "For the first time we were able to get away but the attacks continued no matter where we went" Emma said and dragged her hand through her hair.
"Only five months later, we lost our first, Azazel. During the attack, they concentrated on him specifically, they knew that he had the ability to teleport. Azazel was killed but we were able to get away… just two weeks later, we decided to attack that group… Callisto was able to put a mark on them" Emma said with fake joy in her voice.
"We attacked them and we were able to kill two of them before they ran away. They had similar powers to meta-humans so we were disgusted to think that they were doing this to their own kind… but the information we found there shook our world. We found that these weren't meta-humans, they were normal humans but they gained powers by grafting meta-human organs, DNA transplantation, and blood transfusion" Emma finished and looked towards Eric and Raven, it was quite easy to see that both of them were enraged… they really cared about meta-humans after all. My face was expressionless… completely blank, thanks to Occulumency.
"They called themselves U-Men, and their leader is named John Sublime, I don't know who he is but he is the main reason behind the hate between humans and meta-humans" Emma finished. "Only after an hour we were attacked again and this time we lost Angel, the rest of us got away. We continued to get attacked… our group was pretty large but slowly everyone left… I didn't have any time to look after them… so, I decided to go into hiding with our remaining members and that's it" Emma finished with a shrug… it was clear that Emma was holding back her tears.
Damn!! Well, I won't be getting bored anymore, I will be chasing U-Men, and Sublime…
