《A Mutant’s Ascension》A Mutant's Ascension
Advertisement
A/N: I have two internal exams today, so I wasn't able to write chapters. I also have a test tomorrow so I am not sure if I would be able to write another chapter today or not.
There is also the problem of electricity here, Indians have seen the news about the cyclone Yaas, because of that we don't have electricity now, so i have to preserve the charge in my mobile so I can give my test tomorrow.
----------------------------------------------------
[POV Reo]
"Rumi, you need to calm down" I spoke to Rumi who was jumping like a kid on a sugar rush.
"Yeah, sure" Rumi said dismissively but it was quite clear that she was still very excited.
"She must love fights" Eric said while nodding his head.
"Yes, that she does" I said, Rumi didn't even notice our small chat. Rumi was in the front leading us. After Nightcrawler went back crawling to his master, Stryker didn't send anyone to intercept us. I could feel that all of his soldiers were still stationed inside the deeper parts of the dam. From what I was able to sense till now, Stryker has completely fortified this place…
It looks this was Stryker's last stand… smart man!! I would have found out where he had run off to and then I would have killed him really slowly. Maybe, cut off his legs and hands and make him a handless, legless thing and keep him alive to show him meta-human domination. Yes, that would have been great too… but I think torturing him into insanity is good too… after all, he stayed here and didn't make me chase after him.
We arrived in a huge room made up of concrete and steel beams. I noticed someone running in our direction with a huge momentum. I didn't need to be a genius to know who it was. It was Cain Marko, I have already seen him with Stryker. Three meta-humans were following behind him… soon the opposite side of our room burst open by Juggernaut but he didn't stop. He continued to charge towards our group.
The helmet on top of Juggernaut's head wasn't metal… I don't know what material Stryker had used to make that but when I had previously seen Juggernaut through the satellite feed he was wearing his original metal helmet. I shrugged because it wasn't important now… as Rumi was already charging towards Juggernaut.
"Let's see who is stronger!" Rumi said and her whole body was covered in Armament Haki and when she finally arrived in front of the Juggernaut she gave him a roundhouse kick, as I had expected Juggernaut was blasted away by Rumi's kick and collided with the concrete wall behind him. The other three meta-humans who just arrived in the room were completely dumbfounded.
"Eric you can deal with the kung-fu chick if you want" I spoke to Eric pointing towards Lady Deathstrike.

"No, I will deal with all of them" Rumi declared stopping Eric. Eric just raised his hands in a surrendering manner, after all, he didn't want to interfere with Rumi's fun. He had already seen what she could do and Eric wasn't a battle maniac like Rumi.
One of the other two mutants was shown in both the original and revised timeline. Though I was quite surprised when I first saw her here… in the original timeline, she was a member of Omegas, a group led by Callisto. Her name was Betsy Elizabeth Braddock or commonly known as Psylocke. The other woman was also a part of the Omegas in the original timeline, Archlight, but what happened to her in the revised timeline nobody knows.
"Are you confident enough that you can fight with the three of us?" Lady Deathstrike or Yuriko Oyama asked Rumi in a mocking tone.
"No, I am sure that I will be more than enough for the three of you" Rumi retorted with a blood-thirsty grin on her face. Deathstrike was clearly angry because Rumi made fun of her but she didn't underestimate Rumi after all, she just defeated Juggernaut with just one strike.
"Wanna bet that Rumi will defeat the three of them in 5 minutes?" Eric suddenly asked me, I didn't expect this from him. But, he is an idiot if he thinks that I would accept a bet that I know that I would definitely lose.
"You had another thing coming if you think that I would agree to a bet that I know I would lose" I spoke to Eric with a smile on my face.
Eric just shrugged his shoulders… and turned his head towards the fight. I also did the same. Currently, Rumi was being attacked by Lady Deathstrike with her adamantium claws. Rumi was skillfully dodging the strikes making Deathstrike more frustrated. Psylocke was attacking Rumi from the side while Archlight was sending shockwaves in Rumi's direction whenever she was getting the chance.
"You three make a very good attack team" Rumi said complimenting the three women, this made the three of them scowl even more. It was quite clear that Rumi was just toying with the three of them.
All of a sudden, Rumi's whole demeanor changed, and punched Psylocke, Rumi was way faster this time. The sudden change of demeanor and speed surprised Psylocke but it was too late for her to dodge and she could only brace for impact. Rumi hit Psylocke on her stomach… the punch was so strong that Psylocke immediately grabbed her stomach in pain and passed out after emptying her stomach on the floor.
"You will pay for that!!" Archlight screamed in anger and sent multiple shockwaves in Rumi's direction. Seeing that Archlight lost her cool and the erratic shockwaves, Deathstrike decided to jump back.

But Rumi wasn't even slightly worried after she saw all those shockwaves… instead Rumi used Flash Step and appeared behind Archlight. Rumi hit Archlight's nape knocking her out successfully.
"Now, only you are left… I hope that you can entertain me" Rumi said with a bloodthirsty grin on her face and attacked Deathstrike. Deathstrike was immediately on defense… she knew that there was no way that she would be able to defeat Rumi. All of her confidence from before was completely gone.
Rumi raised her leg and kicked Deathstrike and a metal clanging sound was heard. Rumi was slightly surprised to hear a sound like that. The floor beneath Deathstrike cracked because of the force Rumi had applied on the kick. Rumi took this chance and punched Deathstrike with her full power. Another metal clang was heard and Deathstrike collided on the floor with a huge force. Deathstrike's right side of the face was completely gone… her adamantium skull could easily be seen.
Because of Rumi's punch, Deathstrike was completely disoriented and Rumi used this chance, and her arms wrapped around Deathstrike's neck, grabbing her in a chokehold.
"How the hell is she still alive?" Eric asked with a shocked look on his face.
"Body modification and regenerative healing factor… can't you see her face is almost healed" I said pointing towards Deathstike's still exposed skull but it was healing visibly.
I saw Deathstrike was struggling on the floor but Rumi didn't give up and Deathstrike finally stopped struggling and her whole body went limp. She wasn't dead… Rumi had just knocked her out. I pulled out iron rods from a nearby wall and wrapped them around Deathstrike. Eric saw this and did the same with Psylocke and Archlight. Unfortunately, Juggernaut died while Rumi was fighting against the three women. Rumi's full-powered Armament Haki kick sent him to his next great adventure.
I made a portkey from a nearby piece of rubble and send the three women to Elysium. Eric looked sad that Juggernaut died but instead of Rumi he decided to blame Stryker… after all, he wouldn't achieve anything by blaming Rumi. Smart Guy!! Why can't Charles be like his old friend…?? Then, I would have felt bad when we would have killed him. But he had to be a bitchy loser…
We finally moved from the room and went ahead. I felt some humans were preparing to ambush us. But they were not carrying anything metal… looks like Eric is quite well known.
Even if they weren't using metal guns it won't be a problem for us… maybe it would have been if it was only Magneto but since I am here there will be no need to fear.
"Rumi? Do you want to beat them up too?" I asked Rumi, after all, if she was interested then I would just stay back and let her have all the fun.
"Yeah sure" Rumi said and Flash Stepped towards the group. Rumi quickly dealt with them. We met several groups like them until there were only two people left inside the dam. Rumi had killed everyone else with her use of excessive force. Well, it wasn't her fault that humans were fragile…
We finally arrived in the last room and found William Stryker pointing a gun towards Nightcrawler's head. Nightcrawler had already passed out due to the pain and broken bones.
"So, you decided to stay?" I asked Stryker in a mocking tone.
Stryker didn't say anything and pressed a button, a huge explosion shook the whole dam… I just gave him a disappointed look while shaking my head.
"Hahahaha… I knew that I will die so I decided to take you all with me" Stryker shouted in rage.
"Ah… that's where you are wrong… you think flooding this whole place will be enough to kill me? You are just a naïve fool" I said and pointed my finger in Stryker's direction. Before he could say anything or do anything I casted the spell.
"Crucio" Stryker immediately screamed out in pain and dropped on the floor. At this moment he was feeling an unimaginable amount of pain. I used my other hand to cast the sealing and locking charms on the door. After I was sure that the room was completely secure I turned back towards Stryker who was rolling on the floor in pain.
"How is he doing that?" Eric asked looking slightly pale.
"He is using the Cruciatus Curse, this causes unimaginable pain and prolonged exposure will definitely snap your mind" Rumi gave him a brief explanation. Eric gulped loudly after he heard that…
I finally lifted the spell from him and kneeled by his side "So, Stryker, how are you feeling? Are you feeling some kind of discomfort??" I asked him with a caring tone.
"Please… don't…" Stryker started to beg but I will be damned if I allow him to beg.
"You don't have to beg to feel that again… here you go" I said in a mocking tone. It was almost like I was scolding a child.
"Aggghhhh!!" Stryker began to scream again. "Eric, Rumi, look around the room… he will definitely have some documents stashed in here" I said turning towards them. Both of them nodded and started to look around… they found several files and documents about his experiments.
After a few minutes, Stryker finally stopped screaming… it was clear that his mind has been wasted away. Eric grabbed Nightcrawler who was still passed out and we finally left the base Apparating back to Elysium…
(A/N: Next chap will be about Luna's adventures)

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
