Pentagon, United States of America.
Around the symbolically powerful roundtable sat top-level figures from various departments—the military, the CIA, the FBI, and more.
Each of them was a titan in their own right—people w...
“Alex!”
“No!”
Charles's face twisted in pain as he let out a broken cry.
In that moment, everything became clear—Alex had killed Shaw!
All this time, Charles had known Erik’s lifelong goal was to kil...
“You’re not seriously going to gang up on me, are you?”
“Have some honor, will you?”
When Alex casually dusted off his hands and started walking again, completely unbothered, the guy with the braid finally lost his ...
Alex had long since been marked as a high-level threat by the Hellfire Club. Even while locked in battle with others, not a single member of the Club dared take their eyes off him.
Everyone was watching his every move.
So the...
“I’ve entered the Gatekeeper’s mind—Shaw is absorbing the energy of the entire nuclear submarine. He’s turning himself into a nuclear bomb!”
Charles’s voice rang out, his expression grim. His gaze stayed fixed on the e...
Whoosh!
The moment Alex's heat vision shot out, the Winged Man reacted instantly. With a swift flip mid-air, he narrowly avoided the deadly blast. Hovering in the sky, arms crossed, he stared down at Alex with a heavy, grim expressi...
No sooner said than done. Banshee, Erik, Charles, and the others unbuckled their seatbelts and moved toward the hatch at the bottom of the jet.
"Hank, open the lower hatch!" Banshee shouted toward the cockpit.
Boom—boom—b...
Cuba.
Two fleets faced each other across the blockade line, locked in a tense standoff on the endless ocean.
The atmosphere was razor-sharp, ready to snap at the slightest provocation.
A freighter from the Soviet Union...
Night had quietly fallen.
A full moon hung high in the sky.
Under normal circumstances, the living room would be buzzing with noise by now. The young mutants would usually be lounging around after dinner, chatting, laughing, ...
"Alright, everyone—disperse. Go back to what you were doing!"
"We’ve been preparing for this fight against Shaw for a long time, and now we’re finally ready."
"This really isn’t such a big deal, right?"
Charles’s...
"Erik, Alex, let's go!"
The moment they heard the president's address was about to begin, everyone perked up instantly.
Charles called out to his two friends and quickly headed back inside the house.
Over the past few days...
Back at Xavier’s Mansion, the atmosphere was just as lively as ever.
The mutants were all immersed in their respective training routines.
Down a hallway not far ahead, Alex spotted Charles and Erik standing together.
BOOM!
With a deafening roar, the ground trembled violently. Everyone watched in shock as the massive Decepticon was slammed into the earth with tremendous force.
The impact alone was nothing short of breathtaking.
Espe...
“Oh my God—how is something like this even possible?!”
General Ross’s voice boomed with disbelief as he stared up at the colossal robot towering before him, his entire worldview shattering before his eyes.
“I told y...
“Alex, are you sure?”
Howard Stark’s face lit up with excitement, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Alex for confirmation.
“I’m sure of it,” Alex said with a firm nod.
“Yes!”
Howard clenched his ...
“Sheldon, trust me—now’s not the time to invest in precious metals.”
“Dawson, my son's full-month banquet is the day after tomorrow. You have to come.”
“Miss Cartier, you’re still as stunning as you were at tw...
“The curse has been lifted.”
“Can you feel the changes in your body?”
Dracula’s voice echoed as he stared intently at Alex, his eyes filled with a trace of anticipation.
The hostility and hatred he’d shown earl...
“Ahhh!”
“What’s happening?!”
Amidst the anguished and startled screams, the remaining swarm of bats dared not come near Alex again.
After a brief, chaotic swirl, they reformed into the figure of Dracula.
But t...
What kind of move was that?
The strange scene unfolding before Alex completely caught him off guard.
Wasn’t Dracula supposed to be a vampire? Since when did vampires come with cheat codes?
Then again… thinking abou...
What the hell?
A ghost?
Alex’s scalp tingled the moment he saw that eerie sight. An involuntary thought flashed through his mind.
How could a living person not cast a shadow?
Was this a joke?
…Wait a ...
Soothing music played in the background, its gentle melody making people unconsciously relax, like warm, clear spring water flowing through the heart.
As Alex walked through the magnificent hall that looked like a palace made of cry...
As soon as Howard Stark finished speaking, Alex instantly understood his true intentions.
Because both the Decepticons and anything they'd come into contact with would emit a unique energy radiation, merely detecting traces of that ...
After saying a quick goodbye to Charles and Erik, Alex left the Xavier estate.
He arrived at a private suite in an upscale hotel, where Howard Stark was already waiting.
To Alex’s surprise, Peggy Carter was there too.
As it turned out, experience truly was the best teacher.
While Erik and the others didn’t exactly enjoy getting thrashed by Alex, once the bruised egos and bodies settled down, everyone could clearly feel the progress they’d mad...
"Come on, Alex!"
"Bring it on!"
Excitement—tinged with a touch of madness—flickered in Erik’s eyes. It had been a long time since he felt this kind of crushing pressure.
Every muscle in his body tensed. His nerve...
“Erik, are you sure about this?”
Alex raised a brow as he looked at the serious-faced Erik standing before him.
Is this guy trying to get himself killed?
“I’m absolutely sure, Alex. Charles' training may work f...
"Everyone, I’m sorry. Truly sorry."
That evening.
After dinner, the mutants gathered in the main hall on the first floor. Charles, Erik, and Moira stepped forward.
With guilt written all over her face, Moira began to...
Another long journey later…
The group of young mutants finally made it back to the Xavier Estate.
Charles, Erik, and Moira weren’t around at the moment. The three of them had taken Copy Cat to the CIA for interrogation an...
Swish!
The moment sean spoke, Darwin, Havok, and the others all turned to look at Raven in unison.
Even Charles couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
Given Raven's appearance and abilities, it was impossibl...
