《A Mutant’s Ascension》A Mutant's Ascension
Advertisement
[POV Reo]
A week has passed since The President had made his decision and mutants were already being captured here and there. And just like I have thought just after 2 days of the President's announcements the other counties also followed the trend and started capturing mutants. A few small countries that didn't have the power to capture mutants asked for help from other countries.
Other bigger countries were busy with their own backyard so weren't able to send any help. This is when Trask Industries came forward with their private army. They would capture mutants from your country for a small price… everyone thought that they were doing this for the good of humanity but in truth, Trask Industries only wanted to capture mutants to experiment and why would they give away such a nice chance??
Mutants were really facing a dark time… they were being treated like cattle, they were captured and put into cages for transportation. A lot of families sold out their own members because of hate or fear. Brothers turned on brothers… parents turned on their own kids. It was almost hell for every mutant who were not living on either Genosha Island or in Xavier Mansion.
Xavier Mansion was still standing but it was no longer a hidden fact that they are going to be attacked soon. Some mutants sold out the secrets of Xavier Mansion so that they could get better treatment in their new slave life. I have already seen that the higher-ups were not attacking the Xavier Mansion because they had much bigger fish to fry now… Xavier Mansion is not going anywhere and the mansion was under a tight watch… it was like a prison. If someone leaves they will be immediately captured.
Charles took in several refugees who were on the run, I call them refugees because the US has decided to declare that mutants would no longer be citizens of their country which means they were only treated as common animals now. Mutants no longer have any rights in the countries. Their properties were also being seized after they were captured as they were non-US citizens who can't own a property.
All the captured mutants were being taken to Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo Bay, the prison made by Trask Industries, especially for mutants. I wasn't a fool, I knew very well why they were being taken there so that they could experiment on them and learn all their secrets so that they can re-create them.
Some residents of Genosha weren't happy with what was happening outside. I might be a cold-hearted guy who only cares about his family but what is happening in the outside world right now is not something even I could have done. Humans are the vilest animals to ever walk on Earth… and what was happening now proved that the statement was right.
I heard my phone ring… it was Momo, I picked up the call 'The barrier generator is complete', I heard Momo's words and a huge evil grin appeared on my face. I was still working on the ward schemes for the unplottable wards but this was a piece of really good news.

"Good, we are already on the way" I said, it was way past midnight now. Natasha was given a separate room where she was already asleep, Luna was asleep on our bed along with Rumi. Now, I understand why Luna said that before we go to sleep we will get a piece of marvelous news. Me and Nemuri were still working on the ward schemes.
"Have they finished it?" Nemuri asked me in a hopeful tone.
"Yes, let's go and check it out" I said and we both rushed out of the room. Momo, Fleur, and Magneto had started to spend most of their days working on the barrier machine since they saw what was happening to the mutants on the news. Magneto or Eric cared for mutants, while Fleur and Momo had really caring hearts.
We arrived in the labs and found all three of them standing proudly looking at their creation. I could already feel the magic oozing from that machine.
"Good job, all of you. Now, we can return the favor to the humans tomorrow morning" I said with a huge grin on my face.
"It wouldn't be possible if Eric wasn't helping us… he might not know about magic but he really is a genius in the science department" Fleur said beaming in happiness.
"Yes, he can at least help us in future endeavours" Momo said pulling out some diamonds. I was immediately worried that Nemuri would claim them as hers because they were shiny but I was confused when I saw that Nemuri didn't show any reaction to those shiny stones.
"Don't you want them? They are shiny?" I asked pointing towards the stone while looking towards Nemuri. Only now Momo understood her mistake and she got a horrified look on her face.
"They are sparkly, not shiny. Sparkle and shine are different things" Nemuri said in an uninterested tone. All of us except Nemuri released a sigh… Nemuri just huffed in annoyance.
"So, what these stones do?" Nemuri asked when she saw that no one is asking the important question.
"Oh! These stones are the energy source, you two will be charging all of them" Fleur said while Momo handed a stone to Nemuri who started to charge the stone with her raw magic power. Momo handed me a stone and I started to do the same with this stone.
"I am going to call the others… if we are to succeed then this will be a historic moment for our brethren" Magneto said and left the room, he looked too excited for his age… it must be because this is the closest he has come to dream.
I should also stop calling them mutants, after all, mutant was a term made by humans. It is a derogatory term, so I should call them meta-humans from now on. After all, I am building this country for them and they shouldn't be called using a derogatory term here. It took us only 10 minutes to charge all those crystals. Magneto was already back with the others… he was really looking excited, he even called Natasha, Luna, and Rumi.

"So, how are we going to erect the barrier?" I asked, after all, this was one of the most important questions now.
"Let's go. We need to go to the center of this island?" Fleur spoke showing us her tablet, the map of Genosha could be seen, she had already marked a position on the map.
"Then, let's go. It can be deployed right now, right?" Mystique asked, all the meta-humans were looking really happy, hopeful, and excited.
"Of course… let's go" Momo said and levitated the machine.
(A/N: The machine looked exactly like the portal creator from the Avengers 2012 movie. If anyone doesn't remember then let me get you an image here. Or better known as the Tesseract machine)
We left the base and started to walk according to Fleur's directions. It was way past midnight so it was already dark but it wasn't something a simple Lumos can't solve. Magneto had kept several land vehicles inside his garage. We took them because the island was damn huge… it took us about an hour even in a vehicle to reach the point Fleur has marked on the map.
Momo levitated the barrier generator from the truck and slowly levitated towards the point Fleur has marked. Momo started to punch some commands in the machine.
"I hope you don't mind having me here" suddenly a voice was heard and everyone turned in the direction where the voice came from.
I already knew who it was so I wasn't bothered by it but I decided to diffuse the situation before anyone attacks her.
"You know, you shouldn't come like that… someone might have attacked you" I said turning towards the bald woman standing in all her bald glory with a potato chips packet in her hand.
"Ah… forgive me, I was just interested. I saw the whole creation of this machine… I was rather interested myself" the Ancient One said and put a chip in her mouth from the packet. It would have been quite amusing if the others knew who she was… currently, everyone was confused that she appeared out of thin air but since I knew her nobody attacked the woman.
"Reo, you know her?" Momo asked me with a confused look. It wasn't the case that she was angry… I know that look, she was really confused.
"I know her too… she calls herself the Ancient One, nice to meet you, my name is Luna Lovegood" Luna said while skipping towards the Ancient One and greeted her.
"Oh, you know me…" the Ancient One said in a surprised tone.
"I know we will be good friends; may I invite you to tea parties?" Luna asked with a dreamy look on her face. The Ancient One didn't know how to react so she decided to accept.
"I would be happy to" the Ancient One said, when I coughed bringing attention to me.
"Don't worry about her, let's erect the barrier" I said and Momo continued punching commands in the machine. Momo was finally done and activated the barrier generator. The barrier generator started to rise up from the ground and a huge blue ray was shot out from the machine… after the ray reached a certain height it started to disperse and a shield started to form around the island. It was quite marvelous to watch the whole process.
Soon, the barrier was completely erected but Momo, Fleur, and Magneto stopped everyone from celebrating. They decided to run all the checks before all of the meta-humans could celebrate. After running tests for about 5 minutes Momo finally declared the barrier generator was working in full capacity then she punched some commands on her tablet and the barrier generator itself was covered in a similar barrier. That's good… no one will be messing with that now.
All the meta-humans started to cheer… now, that we have prepared our safe haven, it is time to start the attack. But first, we would need to break everyone out of the Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo Bay.
"Reo I am going with the Ancient One, I will be back later" Luna declared happily with a smile on her face.
"Yeah sure, but come back soon" I allowed Luna to leave. Luna can teleport here if she wants and Luna can see the future, since she asked on her own that means she would be fine and there is no way the Ancient One would harm her.
After that, both the Ancient One and Luna left through a portal. The other girls were worried so I explained to them who the Ancient One was, they finally relented.
After that, we finally returned to the base, the others have decided to have a party the whole night but I decided to stop them. After all, we have another important job now, I needed them sober so that they could help the meta-humans we would rescue from Guantanamo Bay. But before that, I needed to make another announcement.
"From now on… this place will be called Elysium, meaning the homeland of the blessed, the heroes, a heaven, and this place will be everything that I have just said. Meta-humans are blessed humans, this will be a place where heroes reside, and this will be a heaven for meta-humans. This is the making of Elysium, our Elysium" I finished and everyone cheered. The room erupted in loud cheers.
After that, I started to explain about the rescue mission I was planning. All of them immediately became serious.
"So, we are going to attack Camp X-Ray?" Mystique asked with hope in her voice.
"No, the attack will be conducted by me, Nemuri, and Rumi. There are mutant suppression zones in that prison so the meta-humans can't use their powers… all of you will be given multiple portkeys, let me explain the plan" I said and started to explain the plan for a successful breakout…

Until he stumbled upon a girl, broken by the war, hardened by its cruelty. Four years later, the Outside comes to him.

A mysterious sword accompanies him, a relic of the past strangely interested in his development. A kind friend supports him, looking out for each other. A leader pursues him, obsessed with his identity.
