Chapter 38 - Annihilation: The Prologue (16)

''Speak''

'Thought'

____________________________________________

~3rd POV~

"What do we have here? An uninvited guest seems to invite themselves into our little party." Mary said, "I can't have that now, can't I?"

Extending her hand forward, a ball of energy starts to form in her hand, before with a loud crack sound that can be heard throughout the entire forest, the ball of energy shoot forward like thunder aiming to strike down the plane before Mary.

However, before the lightning can hit the plane, it seems like an invisible shield that immediately stops the blast.

"Well, our dear guest seems quite special, don't you agree, Bram?" Mary said while turning toward the person right next to her, who is, of course, Bram Stoker himself.

"What is going on here, doctor? I hear a lot of commotion, and the last thing I expect is the child to be fighting with your experiment, while there also seem to be more guests coming to my land." Bram asks while looking at the fight between Ryu and the monster before turning his attention back toward the landing blackbird.

"Not to mention, this little commotion will surely attract his attention." Bram continue

"You mean Guy? He will probably be here anytime soon, considering the commotion we are causing." Mary said while looking at the Blackbird with a little smirk.

While all this is happening, something was sent insanely flying into the air before hitting the invisible barrier on the Blackbird, and that is none other than the Mary monster itself.

When this happens, both Mary and Bram look toward Ryu, looking at the Blackbird with an apparent hatred in his eyes.

"Hm, it seems the child might know the people inside that plane," Bram said

Ryu rolls his neck a little before a swarm of Rashomon comes out from his clothes with its endless jaw flying toward the monsters seemingly stuck on the invisible barrier. With the recognition of its eyes, the monsters could dodge some of the Rashomon but not all, and some of the Rashomon could hold on to the monster.

But that is not all; some of the Rashomon is trying to force itself inside the shield, but before the Rashomon can move inside, the plane seemingly opens up, revealing two individuals.

Jean Grey and Scott Summer.

With his visor on, Scott Summer, AKA The Cyclop, starts to shoot a laser at Rashomon, that tries to get in, while Jean Grey seemingly tries to hold the shield together, but her eyes lock on Ryu, who is also looking back at her.

But the event did not stop there; from a distance, a howling sound could be heard from quite far away, getting all of the people's attention.

"Look like he here," Mary said while looking at the shadowy figure closing very fast.

Out of the forest, the figure seems ok, like a half-man, half-wolf with silver fur all along its body while seemingly wearing blue pants, a werewolf, to put it simply. What most stood out about this werewolf was that there seemed to be a scar on its left eye.

The moment the wolfman comes out, he seems to get all the attention of the people in the area, including the monster, but two people do not look at the wolfman, Jean and Ryu.

"Stoker." The wolfman said

"Endore." Bram immediately said back toward the werewolf

"I see; you certainly have a lot of uninvited guests here." The werewolf AKA Guy Endore said

"Yes, it is even more troublesome considering that you are here too, of all people," Bram said

However, before they can continue their conversation, the glass breaking catches their attention. When they turn their head toward the sound source, they see that the plane has landed on the ground. However, they see that Rashomon is tearing the aircraft like a buffet.

Then, they can hear something in their head the next moment.

'Please, everyone, calm down.' It was the voice of a man who was none other than Charles Xavier

However, one person can shout when the voice rings inside their head.

"Not again! Why do people think they can enter my head without my permission!!" It was none other than Mary who said this, seemingly clutching her head while looking at Xavier, who is being guarded by a man who looks more like an animal with blue skin, who is none other than Beast himself.

Mary's eyes immediately landed on the voice's source, Xavier himself. She immediately fired a blast of lightning toward the professor; however, he could dodge it with the help of the Beast himself.

"Don't try to dodge me now!!" Mary said while charging more the electricity.

But while all this is happening, the monster can tear itself away from Rashomon, and its eyes also land on professor Xavier, who the monster decided to take out its aggression on. The monster rushes forward before swinging its crab arm down like a hammer, but it is blasted in the back by Scott, who tries to stop the monster, gaining its attention instead.

"Professor, I thought we here to deal with a single child?" Beast ask a professor who is still trying to use his power to get inside Ryu's head.

"I thought so too, but there seems more going on here," Xavier said

When he finished, Hank or the Beast was attacked by another person, the werewolf that had arrived on the scene. Sending both combatants right into the forest.

"Hank!!" Xavier can only watch in shock, seeing how Hank and the werewolf are now fighting deep inside the forest.

"It seems that his instinct takes over the moment he sees that... thing," Bram said after seeing Guy's action. Next to him, Mary was still clutching her head, seemingly trying to get Charles outside.

While all this is happening, Mystique, who had been silent all this time, seems to disappear out of the area and now is somewhere else. Jean, who had been staring at Ryu, also turned her gaze toward the monster before using her power to hold it in place so that Scott could finish it.

However, before this happens, Ryu seemingly disappears out of sight and is nowhere to be seen.

'Where did he go?' Professor Xavier can only look around in panic seeing how Ryu suddenly disappear.

The moment he finished that, the next thing he knew was the sound of freshness being ripped apart and the scream of Jean.

"NO!!"

Charles quickly turns her head toward Jean, who screams, and when he sees what is happening, his eyes immediately widen.

Standing there is Jean, who looks at Scott with horror on her face while still holding on to the monster, but what makes Jean have that horrified look on her face is because of Scott.

Scott Summer is standing still with his visor on and blood dripping out of his mouth before slowly looking down at his body and seeing something unbelievable.

His own heart is held by a hand pierces him from the back, and the hand's owner is, of course, none other than Ryu.

Ryu, who stands behind Scott with his hand, pierces Scott from behind and holds his heart, with some part of Ryu's body seemingly becoming transparent.

'He turns invisible?! How!' Professor was shocked seeing how Ryu somehow turned invisible when Jean turned her gaze away before sneaking behind Scott and ripping his heart out.

"Who are you, and where are you from? I don't care. All I know is that today is the day that you died." Ryu said, and the moment he finished his sentence, Rashomon immediately came out and started to pierce Scott's body from the inside out.

Without even having a chance to utter a single word, a massive spike comes out of Scott's mouth before turning into Rashomon's head, before it turns toward Scott and starts eating him from both inside and outside, killing him right on the spot.

Just like that, without a chance to make a difference, Scott Summer had been eaten alive and was now dead.
