Miles was walking on a nearby asteroid when the sound of the explosion shook him.
Miles broke out into a run towards the source of the explosion. Before he could get there, a man stepped out of the shadows.
The man had shackles around his wrists. The chains from the shackles dragged across the ground. The man was shirtless, revealing his muscly body.
He stood up straight and shook his hair from his face. "Where do you think you're going?" the man asked in a semi-British accent. "Who are you?" Miles asked him. "Who I am is not important," the man said, raising a finger and pointing it at Miles.
"What should be important to you is telling me what your plan is." Miles raised his fists. "You know that's not gonna happen, don't you?" Miles responded, his anger mounting. The man sighed.
"Too bad," he said. The man threw a chain out at Miles. Miles dodged the chain and moved in for the attack. But the man was too fast. The man lunged out of Miles's way and threw both chains at him.
The chains wrapped around Miles's body. Using this, the man threw himself at Miles and punched him in the face. Miles was sent tumbling out of the chains and to the ground.
The man walked over to Miles. Miles then suddenly whipped a long chain at the man.
Miles had used the man's punch to get his powers. The man ducked under the chain.
But before the man could right himself. Miles was already under him. Miles's fist was glowing pink. He punched the man in his chin.
The man did a flip backward and landed several feet away. "So that's your power is it?" the man said, surprised. Miles used Lennox's power to increase his speed. Miles ran at the man and threw a left hook.
The man was able to dodge this one but not the next, or the next. Miles unleashed a flurry of blows upon the man.
The blows were strengthened by the shackles he was copying from the man. The man whipped Miles across the chest with one of his chains.
Miles flipped back. The man lunged at Miles trying to catch him off guard. Miles lunged forward in midair and met the man's fist.
The force of the blow knocked them both back. They both landed back several feet apart. "So you can copy powers, eh?" The man asked Miles, clearly laughing. Miles wasn't answering. "Let me show you something interesting," the man said, smiling.
Suddenly the man threw out a chain that touched Miles on the shoulder.
A bead of energy traveled down the chain's length towards the man upon contact.
The man retracted the chain. His fists began to glow with white energy. Without warning the man lunged towards Miles and punched him in the gut. Miles was sent flying back.
The man continued forward to resume his assault. Miles was able to regain his footing just in time. He dodged off to the side avoiding the brunt of the man's punch. Miles landed back on the ground before flipping into the air.
Miles landed on the ground several yards away. However, the man was already there. The man punched at Miles but Miles blocked it.
Miles jumped away so fast he looked like a blur. The man followed him moving equally as fast. Every time Miles appeared somewhere else the man followed him and punched at him.
Miles eventually struck back. The man blocked the punch and countered it with a right hook that sent Miles into the ground.
Miles immediately jumped back up and lunged towards the man. The man wrapped his chain around Miles and yanked him forward.
As Miles was being pulled towards him he punched Miles in the face, knocking him out. The last thing Miles saw was the machine looming over where he and the man had been fighting.
Xavier was standing in a crater. Sweat dripped down his face and he stood still. That was way too close, Xavier thought to himself.
The man he had been fighting stood on the rim of the crater. "How are you still not dead yet", the man asked angrily. "You can't kill me that easily," Xavier said, smirking.
This caused the man to become even angrier. He sent hundreds of exploding energy balls down upon Xavier.
Xavier teleported and began typing frantically on his keyboard. Behind him, a giant gaster blaster spawned. The blaster fired a massive laser at the man pushing him back.
Xavier appeared above him and coded in a giant mace. The mace swung down and crushed the man under it. Cracks appeared in the asteroid as it was forced apart from the blow.
The mace exploded, tearing apart the asteroid with it. Xavier was blasted back into another asteroid. He coughed from the dust that had been thrown up from his collision.
Xavier stood up and dusted himself off. The man was nowhere to be seen. Xavier was still on edge as he began to walk in the direction that his friends were heading. "Looking for me?" The man taunted Xavier from an asteroid above him.
Xavier looked shocked. The man was unscathed from Xaviers brutal attack. Xavier immediately grabbed his keyboard but the man caught this.
He caused an implosion behind Xavier, ripping his keyboard out of his hand.
Xavier turned around to grab it again, but a second energy ball exploded in his face. The blast threw Xavier across the asteroid.
Xavier landed on the edge of the asteroid, barely clinging to consciousness.
Xavier lay on the ground, unable to move as he heard the man approaching him. Before the man could kill him the ground shifted and pulled Xavier under.
