[Magnetos' Base, Genosha Island]
Magneto had his base set up in the Genosha Island, how he acquired this island no one knew but none of them cared after all they got a stable residence for themselves. Usually, the atmosphere in the base was quite calm but today was not one of those days…
None of the residents looked happy at this moment, all of them have heard and seen the news and none of them were stupid enough to not know what was going to happen now. The Brotherhood of Mutants has grown in size in these past months, but what happened today early in the morning didn't bode well for any of them.
Rumi was the only one who looked carefree… she was even slightly happy that she was going to reunite with Reo today. She had received his message that he was on the way towards the island… she knew that Magneto won't allow him to take over the Island but she knew what Reo could do when he really wanted something and now, Reo really wanted this island.
She wasn't even bothered to see the brutality or the savageness of the murders, especially when the motto was Brotherhood was being used. Magneto knew that none of the mutants from Brotherhood were responsible for this… unless one of them had the ability to teleport. Even if he knew that none of the Brotherhood was responsible he felt really miserable.
He knew what could this incident lead to… this incident is definitely going to ignite the war between humans and mutants. He might be a mutant supremacist but he knew his limits… he knew he can't win against all of the human population at least not now… their best chance was when he has killed Sebastian Shaw. But everyone knew how that turned out… when they were attacked that bitch of a CIA Agent didn't act but as soon as he decided to return the favor she attacked and crippled his dear friend.
Erik and Charles might have different philosophies but they had one thing in common, they wanted the best for the mutants.
"We might have a problem" Everyone was brought out of their contemplation when Mystique spoke.
"What's the matter?" Magneto asked in a grave tone.
"A boat is about to reach the island, I have no idea how they were able to hide from our radar. It seems like the boat appeared out of thin air" Mystique reported.
Magneto had no time for this! But he had no choice, he himself had to meet the people who have dared to come here. 'They better not be humans' he thought but he didn't know that the newest arrivals were much worse…
"Let's go and meet our uninvited guests" Magneto said and all the others followed him. The Brotherhood of Mutants had 19 members now… but only one of them noticed a small smile on Rumi's face. It was Mystique who noticed Rumi's smile but thought nothing of it because she knew how Rumi was… Rumi always loved to fight.
[POV Reo]
Nemuri had slapped down a rune paper on the boat's hull when the Genosha Island became visible. I spread out my senses and smiled when I noticed 19 humans on the island… a white house on a side of the island could be seen clearly now.
"Luna, take us towards that house" I said with a smile on my face. I will be meeting Magneto… hehe… I won't be using anything else other than Magnetokinesis to fight him. Now, that I have mastered Magnetokinesis to such a level I find Magneto really weak… I wonder why he never tried to learn more about his powers.
"Nemuri take off the anti-surveillance seal, I want them to come and greet us" I said with a gentle smile on my face. Natasha was just calmly watching but she was very worried in the inside.
"Where are we?" Natasha asked.
"Ladies! I give you Genosha Island, a future country, a safe haven for my specially gifted brothers and sisters" I said in a dramatic pose. While both Natasha and Nemuri were giving me a blank look… Luna started to clap and cheer. Ah… my Angel, at least she appreciates my efforts.
Luna stopped the boat at some distance from the shore, she didn't want the boat to get stuck. I placed a hand on Natasha's shoulder and all of us Flash Stepped to the island. Natasha gasped out in surprise…
"Nemuri cast an anti-magnetic ward around you… I don't want him using your shiny accessories" I said to Nemuri giving a look towards her gold ornaments.
"Hey! No one except you and the girls can touch my assets" Nemuri said and cast a ward around us. She should use better wording not to confuse others but then she wouldn't be Nemuri anymore.
I used my powers and sensed all the 19 inhabitants of the Island were coming to greet us. It felt quite nice that I don't have to search for them afterward by myself.
The group of 19 people or mutants finally arrived in front of us. Natasha silently stood by Nemuri's side and Nemuri had wrapped her arms around Luna protectively.
(A/N: Some of you might say that Magneto's attitude is completely wrong but you have to understand that he is really angry, scared, frustrated because of the incident of the murders of Senator Kelly's family and the First Lady. So, his emotions are clouding his judgment)
"Who are you? And how did you find this island?" Magneto was the first who spoke up. Is this the best he could have asked… he was one of the supervillains and this was the best he came up with. I was really disappointed.
"You can call me Leviathan for now… as for the reason I came to this island it's because I have plans for it" I said with a gentle smile on my face. I could clearly see anger on Magneto's face. Some of his group were also angry…
"You still didn't answer me? How did you find this island? Tell me and I will kill you painlessly and allow those three to leave" Magneto spoke with venom in his voice.
"Is this the best you could do? Pretty disappointing. Why don't you try and make me answer?" I asked in a mocking tone.
"Kill them" Magneto ordered but before any of the mutants could make a move, Rumi's fist smashed into the face of the nearest guy. All of them were surprised to see that Rumi was attacking them.
"Why are you betraying us?" Mystique screamed in anger.
"It is simple… he was the one who asked me to join you" Rumi said shrugging her shoulders and kicked a girl knocking her out. Rumi has already taken 5 of the group cutting them down to 14.
"Enough!" Magneto screamed and used pulled our boat in Rumi's direction. I didn't stop it… I allowed Rumi to have her fun. But I still decided to ask Nemuri if the boat was important to her or not.
"Is that boat important to you?" I asked.
"Meh… that wasn't shiny" Nemuri said with disinterest. I didn't know what to say… I didn't know that if an object is not shiny then it's not important.
The boat crashed on Rumi but she broke apart the boat with a kick… her leg was already covered in Armament Haki. The Brotherhood was really surprised to see that she broke apart the boat with just a kick. Magneto didn't give up and attacked Rumi with the boat's wreckage but Rumi didn't pay him any attention. She continued to take out the other members.
Sabretooth appeared in front of Rumi and clawed in her direction while the toad shot a slime towards her leg. Rumi didn't even bother with the slime and grabbed Sabretooth's claw and kicked him on his chest… breaking of bones could be easily heard and Sabretooth was blasted away because of the force behind the kick.
"I am truly disappointed in you, I have heard that you are an omega-level mutant. Is this the best you could do?" I asked Magneto walking in his direction.
Magneto didn't say anything and several metal beams rushed towards him from the direction of the house. He must have kept those for this kind of situation. Magneto raised his arm in my direction and launched those beams towards me. It was kind of how I used my power before I learned the Railgun.
Before the beams could reach halfway they stopped in mid-air. Magneto looked really confused. They started to morph into spears that pointed towards Magneto… which shocked him even more.
"You see both of us have exactly the same powers but you haven't even scratched the surface of them" I said and launched a spear in Magneto's direction. I felt an opposite force was trying to stop it but it was completely negligible… it must be Magneto's force.
I didn't aim for Magneto I didn't want to maim him or kill him. He could be one of my best allies in this world after all it is what he wanted too. This was only the battle to decide who the alpha was…
The spear landed by Magneto's side and I could feel his fear. "You understand how easily I could have killed you right?" I asked in a mocking tone.
"I haven't lost yet… I could kill those women behind you" Magneto said feeling that he had gotten an upper hand.
"You are free to try" I said to Magneto, at first Magneto looked surprised but still tried to use his powers on Nemuri but it didn't work. He could feel those metals but for some reason, his powers didn't work on them.
"Now that since you have tried your last-ditch effort let me show you something" I said and lightning thundered around my body and I launched a railgun towards Magneto. Magneto fell on his butt with a look of horror in his eyes after the projectile passed by his head.
He looked behind and found that a crevice was formed destroying the forest and everything in the projectile's path. The ground was still smoking and he still felt the heat that passed by him… this wasn't an illusion. He looked towards his group and all of them were on the ground while Rumi was standing there with a satisfied look on her face.
"Join me… I also want the betterment of mutants. I want to build a mutant nation on this island and with everything going on around it is better for us to work together" I said looking down towards Magneto who was on the ground. His face was filled with fear and horror but after he heard me he was relieved… I extended my hand towards him.
"If what you are saying is the truth then I will join you" Magneto said and took my hand…
