The entire scene naturally drew the attention of the children, the teachers, and even the overweight local official at the compound.
Still, none of them seemed alarmed. They simply smirked among themselves, amused at the pale, queasy foreigner clearly suffering from “African stom...
"Your strength surpasses Nocturne and Daybreak's, but only by a margin."
The red-haired man’s voice was calm, but beneath its smoothness lay an edge sharp enough to cut steel. He didn’t need to raise his tone; his authority was absolute, the kind that pressed down on anyone who...
Silence.
A suffocating, almost physical stillness gripped the plaza. Dust from shattered concrete hung in the air like a lingering fog, sparkling faintly under the dim fluorescent lights above. Not a single mutant dared to move, breathe, or even blink as their eyes remained fixed o...
In Western culture, respect is a matter of hierarchy—but not the kind that comes with age or seniority. It’s about status. Class. Rank.
So, in Audrey Hepburn’s six-person entourage, there was only one person who was ever formally addressed as “Ma’am.” The rest? Employee...
Twin beams of crimson energy clashed in midair, locking in a brutal, glowing deadlock that lit up the entire underground plaza. The force of the collision sent shockwaves rippling across the room, dust trembling off the walls, air vibrating like a struck drum.
Around them, the gath...
Under the watchful gaze of the Schwarzenegger-like mutant, Alex strode confidently toward the hidden research facility’s entrance, Charles and Hank close behind.
For a place so clearly top-secret, they expected fortified gates, armed guards, maybe even drones in the sky.
I...
Bryan didn’t ask the question on his mind—not right away.
He’d noticed it too. Audrey Hepburn’s young assistant was subtly, but deliberately, keeping anything ugly or unsettling well away from the woman’s line of sight.
And bringing things up now, without proof? Th...
"I'm coming too!"
Raven stepped forward immediately, unwilling to be left behind.
"Raven, the base still needs a leader. With Emma and Vanessa gone—and now both Hank and I leaving—that responsibility falls to you."
Alex’s tone was calm but firm.
Raven ope...
"Alright, Charles. What’s going on?"
Alex didn’t waste time. As soon as everyone was seated, his voice dropped—serious, direct.
It wasn’t just Raven. He’d caught the faint flicker of unease in Charles’s expression. And after all this time, he knew how to read him...
Henry dragged a folding chair into the shade beneath the aircraft hangar and set it down with a courteous smile. “Boss, we’ve got a decent load of supplies to haul off the plane. It’ll take a bit. Why don’t you rest here for a while?”
Audrey Hepburn gave him a mild glare....
“I still can’t believe this is really happening,” Henry said, leaning back in his seat and staring out the window of the private jet. Blue skies, white clouds—it looked like a painting.
Sure, the aircraft wasn’t one of those ultra-luxurious Gulfstreams, but it was a far c...
Mutant Base – Training Grounds
Alex stood imposingly at one end of the training field.
Beside him were Raven and Hank, two of the original members of the mutant base.
Emma Frost and Copycat, the other two veterans, were absent—they had recently taken on a critical...
Of course.
Even for someone like Bolivar Trask, a world-renowned weapons expert, developing weapons that could truly counter mutants was no easy task.
In the original timeline, Trask’s research had been stagnant for a long time—until the turning point arrived when Mystiq...
Not long after the Lorien departed, Charles and Erik each came to bid Alex farewell.
The creation of a mutant nation wasn’t something they could finalize over a week of strategy sessions. It would be a long, winding road filled with challenges—diplomatic, political, even ideologica...
Establishing a nation was no simple matter.
On the contrary, it was an incredibly complex and painstaking endeavor.
Originally, Charles and Erik had intended to leave after their mission. But following Alex’s shocking declaration, they both chose to remain at the mutant base f...
Henry didn’t believe for a second that Bryan Mills and his so-called “security team” had any designs on a retired movie star. No, their interest in Audrey Hepburn had nothing to do with her celebrity status—it was more likely that she was the perfect cover.
Just like those ...
The establishment of a mutant nation was never a simple endeavor.
Even with Alex’s overwhelming power—far beyond what mutants in the 1960s could’ve imagined—raw strength alone couldn’t solve the intricate political, logistical, and societal challenges ahead. Superpowers couldn't ...
Mutant Base – Homecoming
"Welcome back, heroes!"
"Our saviors have returned!"
Thunderous applause erupted as Charles, Erik, and Alex stepped off the Blackbird. The roar echoed through the metal hangar like a tidal wave crashing against steel. Young mutants lined the...
Hotels in Africa weren’t exactly five-star getaways. No central air conditioning, no modern luxuries—if you were lucky, your room might come with a rickety electric fan that sounded like it might give out at any minute.
Otherwise, you'd be left at the mercy of mosquitoes, windows wide ...
CRACK!
A searing red optic blast from Cyclops sent a crimson Decepticon hurtling backward through the air—only for its body to freeze mid-flight as Erik raised a single hand.
With a vicious tearing motion, Magneto's fingers spread apart—
KRANG!
The Deceptic...
Queens, New York – Aftermath of the Battle
The battlefield was deathly still.
The only sounds were the faint crackling of scorched circuits and the stunned murmurs of the onlookers.
"All... all of the Decepticons... wiped out?"
"That was... too much."
...
This was an era when America had just concluded the First Gulf War. With the reunification of Germany and the collapse of the northern Red Empire looming, U.S. soldiers of the time were basking in their sense of invincibility—utterly convinced that no one in the world could match their ...
Queens, New York – The Battlefield
BOOM! BOOM! CRACK!
The moment the triple-layered barrier encased the mutants, the world erupted into chaos.
Stray plasma blasts and armor-piercing rounds meant for Alex rained down in a relentless storm.
Erik’s magnetic fi...
As the Decepticon’s taunt echoed across the battlefield, every war machine present wore the same expression—metallic, twisted confidence.
They weren’t just ready to kill Alex.
They were convinced they’d already won.
After all, no one—no matter how powerful—cou...
As with previous battles, the Decepticons made no attempt to halt the retreating human troops.
To them, these fragile creatures were beneath notice—irrelevant.
From the moment the mutants arrived, all optics locked solely onto them.
“Mutants. You again.”
...
"That’s right, buddy—we’re heroes now!"
Havok clapped Banshee on the shoulder with mock solemnity, gesturing at the TV screen in front of them. "Did you see that? They gave me a close-up!"
"What’s there to be proud of? I was on there too," Banshee replied with a snor...
"I'm truly surprised," Audrey said, not hiding her astonishment. She turned to the older woman beside her. “Katharine, is this the ‘little surprise’ you said you had for me?”
Katharine, being a born-and-raised American, only spoke a bit of French—and not very fluently at ...
"I’ll report today’s events truthfully to my superiors."
The human commander stood stiffly, voice formal but respectful as he addressed Charles and the others.
For a moment, Charles simply smiled.
Maybe he hadn’t been wrong about humanity after all.
Preju...
Broken Neck Mountain, New York
Atop the highest peak of the Seven Mountains, two towering metal titans faced each other:
The supreme commanders of the Decepticon invasion—Megatron and Starscream.
> "Lord Megatron… Wiper’s entire squad has been annihilated."
"Is Robert not coming with you?" Katharine asked.
Since her 1982 divorce from Andrea Dotti, Robert Wolders—the Dutch actor seven years Audrey's junior—had become her officially acknowledged life partner.
Though they never remarried, they maintained a relationship that wa...
