Kim Possible and X Studs Evolution: OmniMutant – Chapter Three
X-Men
Evolution : OmniMutant
Chapter
Three : The OmniMutant Matrix
Anne
waited anxiously, Kim should be home any moment and she really needed
to have a serious talk with Kim. It was only a few hours ago that
Jean had called and let her know what happened after Ron left, she
was shocked to know that Ron had been stabbed.
Anne
was broken out of her thoughts when she heard the front door open and
Kim walked in.
Kim,
can you come in here a second? I need to talk to you Anne shouted
from the Den.
Sorry
Mom I cant, Im meeting Monique at the mall in ten minutes
Kim called back in as she scrambled to get her stuff together.
NOW
KIM!!! Anne shouted a little more harshly then before.
Kim
walked into the Den with a worried look on her face.
M-Mom?
Whats wrong? Kim asked with a stutter
I
need to speak to you about Ron Anne said seriously.
Suddenly
Kims demeanour changed, she wore a mixture of anger, disgust and
shame.
Mom
I dont want to talk about him! Hes already caused enough
trouble for me and Kim snapped at Anne.
KIMBERLY
ANNE POSSIBLE SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!!! Anne screamed at her
daughter as she stood up in anger.
Kim
stumbled backwards violently in shock and fell into a nearby seat.
Kim had faced many different threats in her life as a hero but
nothing had ever scared her as much as this, her mother had never
screamed at her like this before.
Now
I dont know when it happened, but I know I never raised my
daughter to be a bigot or a racist. So I have to ask, what the hell
do you have against Mutants? And why do you hate them so much that
you would stab your best friend in the back just because he is one?
Anne asked as she tried to calm down.
Kim
thought about her answer for a moment before speaking.
Mom,
look at the Mutants Ive met, Shego, Gill, Electronique all of
them have tried to kill me! Mutants are just plain evil, its their
nature! Kim answered passionately.
The
look in Anne eyes could show how ashamed she was of her daughter for
her answer.
Oh
really? Well lets take a look at some other mutants then shall we?
Team Go, the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man Anne said as she ticked
off her fingers
Thats
not the same, theyre not mutants! are they? Kim weakly
argued, it had honestly never crossed her mind that they might be
mutants.
Yes
Kim, they are and so are your brothers Anne said cautiously.
W-What?
J-Jim and Tim are theyre Kim stuttered, her confidence
waning
Yes
they are Jim and Tim are mutants, they have been ever since they
were born Anne admitted
but but they dont have any powers or abilities! How can they be
mutants? Kim argued
Jim
and Tim are lucky, their Mutation is subtle enough that its mostly
gone unnoticed and theyve been free from persecution. Their minds
are connected to one another, theyre able to combine their minds
processing power to double their individual IQ, it also allows them
to instinctively know what the other is thinking their Mutant name
is Gemini Anne explained.
Kim was
stunned, she didnt know what to say, she opened her mouth a couple
of times but no more than a single syllable came out before she
stopped. After a few minutes Anne spoke again.
Kimberly
being a mutant isnt a choice, its something theyre born
with, youve had some bad luck when it comes to mutants but not all
of them are bad, there and good and bad mutants just as there are
good and bad humans, its all a matter of how they choose to use
their powers that makes the difference so tell me, what has Ron
used his powers for so far? Anne asked
Kim
thought about it, the very moment Ron first used his powers back of
Liberty island.
——————————————————————————————————–
The
Day Before
rrrrrrRRRAAAHHHHH!!!A feral roar ripped across the
island, with great strength Ron stood up and pushed outward with his
arms all four of them. All
eight men who had been beating him a moment earlier were thrown away
by his strength. The men attacking Kim turned to see what was
happening when they heard the roar and they froze.
Standing
there was Kim Possibles
sidekick, at least what used to be him surrounded by eight floored
men. His skin was red, his muscles were bulging, he had four muscle
bound arms and his eyes were completely yellow.
R-Ron?
Kim asked, a little afraid to know what was wrong with her boyfriend.
Ron
looked up at them with his yellow eyes and they recoiled when he
pointed at them with one of his arms.
Let
her go!!! Ron
roared at them in a rough voice.
——————————————————————————————————–
he protected me Kim realised, it hadnt registered in her
mind at the time but Ron wasnt just attacking Dementors
henchmen, he was protecting her from them.
Tears
started to well up in her eyes as an image of Rons heartbroken
face flashed through her mind and the full gravity of what she had
done dropped down on her like a ton of bricks.
he protected me and I treated him as if he was a monster Kim
muttered through her sobs.
A small
smile graced Annes lips, she was finally getting through to Kim,
maybe their was some hope that Ron and Kim could reconcile some day,
but for now they both need time to heal.
——————————————————————————————————–
Three
Days Later
Rons
eyes slowly fluttered open, his eyes sleepily scanned the room his
was in, the walls had a silver gleam with no windows. Ron slowly sat
up causing a thin sheet to fall to his waist and suddenly felt a
sharp pain in his stomach, Ron looked down and saw that he was only
wearing a pair of jogging pants and his stomach was wrapped several
times in bandages.
The
memories of what happened in Middleton flashed through his mind, his
last memories was being stabbed by Mystique disguised as Kim.
Did
they capture me? Ron wondered as he
started looking in a panic for any sign of Magneto or his group.
-Dont
worry Ronald, you are safe here. Magneto didnt capture you-
Ron
looked around quickly looking for who spoke.
Hey,
w-whos there? Ron said in a panic.
-Calm
down, my Name is Professor Charles Xavier, I run the Institute Anne
Possible told you about- the voice
spoke again, it sounded as if the voice was coming from inside his
own head.
How
are you OW! Ron winced as he tried to move a little too much and
aggravated his wound.
-Try
to stay still Ronald, the worst is over but your wound will still be
tender for a while, Im on my way down to see you now and to
answer your question, I can speak directly into your mind thanks to
my mutant ability, Im a telepath-
Ron sat
still trying not to hurt himself further, waiting for somebody to
show up. A minute later the door to the room opened with a hiss and
three people entered the room, one Ron recognised as Jean Grey, Kims
cousin. The second one was a bald man sitting in a wheelchair wearing
an expensive looking brown suit. The last one was a little strange,
it was a large man covered in blue fur wearing a white lab coat and a
pair of glasses, he walked hunched over so his hands were nearly
touching the ground.
Its
good to see you awake Ronald, youve been unconscious for the
better part of three days Im Professor Xavier, I believe youve
already met Jean the Professor said as he gestured to the smiling
red head next to him.
Good
to see you again Ron, howre you feeling? Jean asked kindly.
A
little sore, but ok I guess Ron answered.
Hem
hem the blue furry man coughed to get Rons attention.
Hello
Mr. Stoppable Im Dr. Hank McCoy, my friends call me Beast, Id
like to take a look at your wound to make sure you havent popped a
stitch Beast said in a polite tone of voice, much gentler than Ron
would have expected given his appearance.
Sure
Doc Ron said calmly.
Beast
went about undressing Rons wound, and checking the stitches.
Youre
quite lucky Ronald, you were minutes away from bleeding to death when
we got you here, you can thank here Jean for your blood transplant
Xavier explained.
Umm,
thanks Jean, I really appreciate it Ron said with a smile.
Beast
finished redressing Rons wound with fresh bandages and backed
away.
Looks
like your wound is healing just fine, theres no sign of infection
but Id like you to take it easy for a few more days and walk a
crutch just in case and Id like you to come to me twice a day
to get clean bandages, ok? Beast asked but it wasnt really a
question.
Sure,
youre the doc, Doc Ron answered with a goofy grin.
Beast
looked a little confused at Rons reaction to what he looks like.
Umm
did I say something wrong? Ron asked worriedly.
Huh?
Oh, no no its just, well usually when people first see me
they arent as calm as you are, you havent even asked me about
my body Beast said truthfully.
Hey
youre the third blue person Ive ever met but youre the first
who hasnt tried to attack me. I just figured that the whole blue
furry thing was because youre a mutant, after all this is a school
for Mutants right? Ron asked.
Indeed
it is, youll find that everyone here is a mutant, each with their
own abilities Xavier said with a smile Mutants come here
for all sorts of reasons, some come here to learn how to control
their abilities some come here to escape from the persecution of
those who dont understand us others come here simply because
they have nowhere else to go
Heh,
I guess I fit all three of those reasons eh? Ron said with a sad
smile. So umm, whats your power? Ron asked Jean obviously
trying to change the subject.
Jean
noticed how uncomfortable he was and smiled.
Im
telepathic Jean answered
Like
the Professor? Ron asked curiously.
Kind
of but no where near as advanced and I do have a few other
tricks up my sleeve Jean said as she raised her hand up. A
glass of water on a nearby table shuddered for a moment before it
floated an inch above the table and gently floated into a stunned
Rons hand. Im also Telekinetic
Coooooollllll
Ron said with glassy eyes how many other people are here? What
powers do they have? Ron asked quickly
Sorry
to interrupt, but I believe it would be better to finish this
discussion in the morning, that way you can meet the others in
person, its hard to tell down here in the sublevels but it is in
fact well past midnight Xavier suggested.
For the
first time since they entered Ron noticed that Jean was actually
wearing a dressing gown.
A few
minutes later Beast had set Ron up with a crutch, Beast stayed in the
medical bay to go over some work whilst Xavier, Ron and Jean all
found themselves making their way through the silver gleaming halls
of the sublevels towards the elevator.
You
mentioned that this is a sublevel right? So this is underground?
Ron asked curiously.
Indeed,
there are two levels of the institute, above ground is the institute
itself, on the outside a boarding house for gifted youngsters, the
bedrooms, kitchen and recreational rooms are all up there then we
have the sublevel which houses our training grounds, medical and
laboratory rooms, equipment room and the hanger.. Xavier explained
as they reached the elevator and took it up, when the doors opened
Ron was met by the inside of a building extremely different from the
sublevels.
Woah,
nice place Ron complimented.
Yes,
we are quite proud of it, well then I think its time we retired
for the night, Jean would you be as kind as to show Ronald to his
room before heading back to bed? Xavier asked.
No
problem Professor follow me Ron Jean instructed as Xavier
turned around and wheeled down the opposite hallway.
Ron
followed Jean down the hallway to what seemed to be the entrance hall
to the manor where two staircases bordered the room both leading up
to the second floor. Ron followed Jean up one of the staircases
slowly, being careful not to further injure himself. After climbing
the stairs Jean lead him through several hallways until they came to
a room at the end of the hall with the word -Ron-
stencilled in white on the door.
This
is your room, welcome to your new home Jean said as she opened the
door.
The
room wasnt too big but it wasnt tiny either, there was a large
bed that looked comfy, a desk with an alarm clock and a lamp next to
the bed and a wardrobe in the corner. To the left of the room were a
pair of glass doors that lead out onto a balcony overlooking the
manor grounds.
Youll
find clothes in the wardrobe and the bathrooms are at the end of the
hall, tomorrow is Saturday so breakfast is at 9, youll find the
dining room just past the elevator we came up in, goodnight Ron
Jean said as she let out a tired yawn and walked back out of the
room.
Goodnight
Jean, and thanks for everything Ron said with a smile before she
closed the door.
Ron
leant his crutch against the wall next to his bed and slowly laid
down, he was right about how comfy it was, Ron snuggled into the
softness and quickly fell asleep after covering himself over.
——————————————————————————————————–
The
next morning Ron woke up to a loud ringing sound, Ron sleepily
reached towards the ringing and slapped the top of the clock,
immediately shutting it up. Ron lifted his head and checked the time.
8:45.
Fifteen
minutes to breakfast Ron thought
just as his stomach grumbled loudly, at that point the realised he
hadnt eaten anything in days.
Ron
quickly got up and grabbed his crutch, he carefully grabbed a pair of
pants, a white t-shirt and a dark green hoodie with a white X of the
left breast.
Ron
made his way out the door and started down the hallway towards the
stairs, the hall was filled with an assortment of teenagers rushing
around, none of them really paid Ron any attention.
First
dibs on the bathroom! a female voice shouted from the other side
of a door, a moment later Ron stepped back in shock when a brunette
girl dressed in pink pyjamas walked right through
the door like a ghost and ran down the hall towards the bathroom.
Woah
Ron deadpanned.
-PFFT-
Suddenly
in a poof of black smoke there was something blue in front of Ron
looking down the hall at the girl who walked through the door.
Hey,
no fair Kitty! the blue boy shouted down the hall in a German
accent before he disappeared in another puff of black smoke.
Would
yah keep it down? Some people ah tryin tah sleep! another
female voice said in a southern accent as the same door Kitty had
walked through opened to reveal a girl dressed in dark green pyjamas,
she had brown hair with streaks of white near the front. The girl
walked forward rubbing the sleep out of her eyes so she didnt see
Ron until she collided with him.
Ron was
able to brace himself but the girl fell to the ground with a thump.
Oh,
sorry, Im still half asleep the girl said as she reached up
instinctively.
Dont
worry about it Ron said as he reached down, grasped her hand and
pulled her up.
The
girl dusted herself off and looked at him before speaking, she
realised he was the boy that Mystique stabbed.
Oh
youre the new guy right? I didnt know youd woken up, Im
Rogue Rogue introduced herself.
Im
Ron, I woke up last night and the Prof explained what happened Ron
explained.
Yeah,
well I better go, bathrooms are pretty quick to fill up, see you at
breakfast Rogue said as she made her way off to the bathrooms and
Ron turned the corner towards the stairs.
Rogue
luckily found an empty bath room, she rolled up her sleeves and
turned on a faucet at the nearest sink, just as she was about to put
her hands under the water she froze, she found herself looking at her
hands in confusion as something entered her mind, she wasnt
wearing her gloves, this wasnt uncommon, she always took them off
before she slept. What confused her was that when she fell down, Ron
had helped her up by grasping her hand.
What
the?
——————————————————————————————————–
Downstairs
in the dining room the main table was populated my the residents of
the Xavier institute, the table was covered with an assortment of
food from sausages & bacon to fruit. Nobody batted an eyelash
when Kitty phased through the ceiling and landed in an empty chair,
or when Kurt appeared in a poof of smoke.
The
room started to quiet down when Professor Xavier wheeled in.
Students,
I have some good news Xavier said to get everyones
attention. last night Ronald woke up and it seems hell be
joining us in a few minutes for breakfast
He
woke up eh? Thats good news, hes been asleep for three days
Scott said with a smile.
So
we finally get to meet the newbie huh? Evan commented
When
the door to the dining room opened it drew everyones attention.
Ron stood in the doorway looking at everyone awkwardly.
Umm,
hi? Ron offered.
Good
morning Ronald, please come on in, take a seat and have some
breakfast. Xavier offered kindly.
Ron
smiled at the Professor, he was thankful that he had broken the
awkward moment. Ron walked to an empty seat and sat down before
grabbing an empty plate and picking an assortment of food.
Well,
I think some introductions are in order of course you know both
Jean and Beast this is Scott and Logan, the others who you met in
Middleton Xavier pointed out the individuals. For the next few
minutes everyone introduced themselves to Ron and told him their
mutant names. After a few minutes Ron had met Scott, Logan, Kitty,
Kurt and Evan. Or by their mutants names, Cyclops, Wolverine,
Shadowcat, Nightcrawler and Spyke.
and this is Ororo Monroe Xavier finished.
My
friends call me Storm the white haired woman said with a smile.
At this
point Rogue walked into the dining room, now fully dressed in her
usual green outfit, she flashed Ron a smile as she sat down into an
empty chair next to him.
Ah,
Ronald Id also like you to meet Rogue Xavier introduced.
Yeah,
we already met upstairs Ron said
There
are few others recruits who live here, youll meet them eventually
Scott mentioned.
So
dude, what exactly is your power? I mean we saw the tape of what
happened on Liberty Island but it showed you doing half a dozen
different things Evan enquired.
The
question caught Ron off guard.
Umm,
I dont really know when it first happened I saw Kim get hit and
I got angry next thing I know I turned into that four-armed one,
then while I was fighting I just kept changing without meaning to and
whenever I did, I already knew what that body could do, I dont
know how I just did it was like a reflex, instinct Ron tried
to explain.
Hmm
Beast hummed interestingly. that sounds like genetic memory
Seeing
everyone looking at him with confused looks he decided to explain.
Genetic
memory is really just a theory, scientists believe that certain
creatures are born with the knowledge to do what they do its
how birds know to fly south for the winter Beast explained.
Yeah,
that does kinda sound like what happened, like when I was fighting
the Saberteeth guy
Sabertooth
Logan corrected Ron.
Yeah
him too, he threw he off a roof and I accidentally changed into
another body that could fly and I already knew exactly how to fly
Ron explained.
Ronald,
I spoke to Dr. Possible a few days ago and she mentioned that you
cant control your transformations Xavier said
Yeah,
it kinda happens when I get mad or desperate Im kinda nervous
that it might happen in the middle of a crowd or a mall Ron said
with a grimace
Actually,
I believe we may be able to help you with that Xavier said, he
then turned to Beast and nodded to him.
Beast
reached under the table and pulled up and small silver case and
placed it on the table.
Ronald,
do you know how a mutant is a mutant? Beast asked
Umm,
not really Ron admitted.
In
our DNA we have something extra, we call it the X-Gene, its what
gives us our powers but yours was different, normally a mutant
only has one type of X-Gene, but when we looked at yours we found
dozens of different types of X-Gene, each of those different forms
you take on is a separate mutation triggered when one of your
X-Genes becomes active youve become what we have started to
call an OmniMutant Beast explained as he unlocked the silver case
and opened it, Beast then turned it around so everyone at the table
could see what was inside it.
In the
case was what looked like a large watch, it had green metal straps
and a round face plate, on the face plate was a black X with a
glowing green backdrop. At the left and right of the face plate were
a pair of green buttons.
Cool,
what is it? What does it do? Ron asked curiously.
This
Ronald, is the OmniMutant Matrix myself and another mutant named
Forge devised and built this while you were sleeping Beast
explained as he reached down and lifted the watch out of its case.
This
is going to help you control your transformationsby pressing both
of these buttons the face plate will lift up out of the main device
and display a hologram of one of you different mutations, you turn
the face plate left or right to cycle through your different bodies
and when you find the one you want, you push the face plate back down
and the watch will automatically make that Mutations X-Gene become
active and youll transform. It will also stop your X-Genes from
becoming active on their own Beast explained the how the device
works as he approached Ron and passed it to him.
What!
Really? THATS AWESOME, THANK YOU!!! Ron screamed in excitement
as he jumped up from his seat and immediately put the watch on his
left wrist. The straps immediately moved on their own and wrapped
around his wrist tightly.
Ron
be careful, jumping up like that youll pop a stitch Jean said
sternly.
Ron
immediately pressed both of the green buttons and just as Beast said
the faceplate popped up, but no hologram appeared like Beast said
it would.
Umm,
Beast, its not working Ron said in confusion.
Oh,
sorry, I forgot to tell you, the watch cant detect your X-Genes
until they become active, youll have to transform into each form
by yourself at least once before that form can be added to the
OmniMutant Matrixs database, only then can the watch transform you
into that form or stop it from becoming active on its own Beast
explained.
Despite
how fast Beast had spoke, Ron had actually understood what he said.
Oh
cool but uh that name you gave the watch its a bit of a
mouthful dont ya think? Ron asked.
Whats
wrong with OmniMutant Matrix? Beast asked awkwardly.
OmniMutant
Matrix hmm Rogue pondered over the name for a moment,
how about we call it the Omnitrix for short? she offered.
Omnitrix?
I like it Ron agreed with a grin.
Well
if the kid needs to use some of his powers to add em to that
watch, I think Ive got the perfect way to do it Logan said with
a grin that made Ron a little nervous.
Dont
even think about it Logan! Jean said sternly knowing whatever
Logan had in mind probably involved the Danger Room. hes
still healing, and not everybody heals at fast as you do!
Ronald,
Id like to speak with you alone for a minute, would you walk with
me? Xavier asked as he wheeled away from the table.
Sure
professor Ron answered as he shoved one last piece of Sausage
in his mouth and grabbed his crutch before following the Professor
out of the dining room and into the rather large garden.
Ronald,
I believe there is something I should tell you the people here are
far more than what you have seen so far we have chosen to use our
powers and abilities for the greater good and have become a group of
what I suppose you could call heros we call ourselves the
X-Men Xavier explained.
X-Men?
I think I read that name somewhere, something about a giant Sentinel
robot back when we first found out about Mutants Ron said as he
tried to recall the article hed read in a paper.
Yes,
it was quite unfortunate that Mutants had to become public knowledge
in that manner Magneto wasnt very subtle about the whole thing,
he was the one who force the team to fight in public and expose us
Xavier explained.
Magneto?
That guy has a serious problem! Ron found his anger start to build
when he remembered the man who attacked him.
Indeed,
Magneto believes that a war is brewing between humans and mutants, we
try our best to stop him whenever he goes too far but its not
always easy anyway I believe were getting off topic, with your
unique abilities I believe you could become a valuable asset to our
team, that is, if you wish to join us? Xavier asked as he stopped
and turned to face Ron and held out his hand.
Well
that is a better sales pitch than Magneto gave me so why not
Ron said with a smile and shook the Professors hand.
I
think Im gonna like it here Ron commented
I
think so too Ronald, welcome to the X-Men
As Ron
let go of the Professors hand he was suddenly struck with a
overwhelming feeling of dread. His eyes started shifting over the
grounds as he did his eyes started to emit a green glow.
The
Professor seemed to notice Rons change of demeanour.
Ronald?
Whats wrong? Xavier asked with concern.
I
dont know Professor theres just something wrong Ron
tried to explain his feelings but couldnt find the words. Curious
about the situation Charles used his Telepathy to look into Rons
mind and he was suddenly filled with the same sense of urgency, it
was as if a hundred voices were screaming in his head to run away,
the instincts of each and every one of Rons different forms
working together within him to warn him something was wrong.
Ron
looked out beyond the walls of the institute for anything suspicious,
he was just about to give up when he saw something, on the rooftop of
a building beyond the institute gates, sunlight shining off
something. Rons eyes widened instantly, he spun around and saw a
red dot of the Professors chest.
The
Professors eyes widened as well, with his telepathy he caught a
surface thought from Ron and he knew what was happening.
Ron
dove forward, instincts taking him over again, he slammed both of his
open palms against the Professors chest hard enough to make the
wheelchair topple over backwards, at that exact same time a bright
flash of green light emitted from Ron.
-BANG!!!-
A
gunshot echoed in the background and a moment later another sound
came, a loud cracking sound. Charles turned over trying to see what
had happened and he was a little surprises to see a ten foot wall of
ice with a large crack in it with a bullet lodged at the centre.
Professor,
are you ok? a low whispering voice asked.
Charles
looked up to see a daunting figure standing over him, he had a blue
face with large green eyes and it he seemed to be wearing a blue
cloak covering his body completely with hood. He also seemed very
familiar, it took a moment but Charles soon recognised him as one of
Rons forms from liberty island.
Ronald,
is that you? Charles asked the question even though he already
knew the answer, he knew what Ron could do but seeing it happen in
person was far different.
Kinda,
right now the names Big-Chill Big-Chill introduced himself. He
then looked past the ice wall toward where he had seen the shine come
from.
Ill
be back in a minute, stay behind cover Big-Chill ordered as he
turned around.
Before
Charles could say anything Big-Chills cloak and hood suddenly
sprung to life and unwrapped themselves from around Ron. It was then
that the professor realised that that cloak and hood were not
clothing, but they were in fact four moth like wings wrapped around
his body. Big-Chill leapt into the air powerfully and flew away
towards the city.
As Ron
flew quickly over the gates Charles placed his hands against him
temple and concentrated.
X-Men,
we have an emergency, come to the front gardens immediately!
Less
than a minute later everyone who had been sitting at the table in the
dining room were running towards the grounded professor laying on the
grass behind a wall of ice.
Professor
what happened?! Scott said with urgency as he fingered his glasses
ready to pull them off.
Big-Chill
flew as fast as he could toward the roof he had spotted the shine,
after a moment he spotted it, a man dressed in black jeans and a
brown jacket running across rooftops, jumping from one to the next.
He had a large rifle strapped to his back. Big-Chill flew down and
landed roughly in front of the man and folded his wings back around
his body to appear as a cloak and hood again.
Where
do you think youre going? Big-Chill asked in his whispering
voice.
The man
skidded to a stop and he blanched at the sight of the thing in front
of him.
W-What
are you? the man stuttered as he fell backwards and shakily
reached into his jacket.
Im
one of the Mutants you just took a shot at! Big-Chill said in a
angry tone.
T-Take
this y-you mutant freak!!! the assassin shouted as he ripped his
hand out of his jacket along with a black pistol.
-BANG!!!-
The
assassin fired and at that exact same time Big-Chill turned
intangible and the bullet shot right through him without hitting him.
Big-Chill became solid again and glared at the assassin.
My
turn! Big-Chill growled as then took a breath, a moment later he
breathed out and a whist of cold air shot from his mouth and hit the
gun the assassin was holding. The gun quickly became too cold to
touch and the man dropped it with a yelp of pain.
S-Stay
away form me!!! STAY AWAY!!! the assassin screamed in a panic as
he backed away from the ghost-like mutant.
Stop,
stay still! Big-Chill shouted and reached out but the assassin
didnt listen, he took one more step backwards and fell off the
edge of the roof.
No!
Big-Chill dove forward over the edge and grabbed the assassin by the
ankle, he then quickly opened his wings again to stop their decent.
Ahh,
AHHHH! the assassin screamed as he looked down at the moving
traffic ten floors below.
Ron
quickly started to fly back towards the manor, the entire time the
assassin kept screaming and flailing around.
Agh
hey! You know, its not exactly easy flying with you squirming
around like that! Big-Chill shouted down to his passenger.
A few
minutes later Big-Chill dropped the assassin unceremoniously onto the
lawn not far from where the rest of the X-Men were standing.
Big-Chill landed and wrapped his wings around his body again.
-SNIK!!!-
Big-Chill
turned around and saw Logan standing in a crouch with his fists as
his sides, protruding from both hands between each of his knuckles
were a total of six blades.
Who
the hell are you supposed to be?! Logan growled while looking
directly at Big-Chill.
Logan
stop! Professor Xavier said as he wheeled forward after being
helped back into his chair by Scott & Jean. Thats Ronald,
hes transformed into one of his different mutations
Professor
Xavier wheeled forward and stopped in front of Ron.
You
saved my life a few minutes ago Ronald, thank you Charles said
with a thankful tone.
I
would have done it for anyone Professor Big-Chill said as he
crossed his arms over his chest. His whispering voice caused a chill
to shoot up the spine of several of the X-Men there.
and I presume this is our shooter? Charles asked as he looked down
at the assassin who seemed to have fainted.
Yeah,
I think he had a problem with heights Big-Chill said in an amused
tone.
Indeed,
Logan would you help our guest into the living area whilst we
wait for the police to arrive? Charles asked.
Logans
claws slid back into his fists as he knelt down, picked up the
unconscious and slung the assassin over his shoulder to carry him
into the manor.
Ron,
why havent you changed back yet? Jean asked as the others
started to walk back into the manor.
Like
I said before, I cant control it Ill only turn back after I
calm down Big-Chill explained.
No,
that was before you had the Omnitrix Beast said as he stepped
forwards Forge and I anticipated this and built a failsafe
into the watch, a system that can force your currently active X-Gene
to go dormant again, somewhere on your body you should have a raised
symbol that looks like the faceplate of the watch.
Big-Chill
unwrapped his wings and looked down at his body and sure enough there
it was, on his chest was a raised ring with a black X and a green
backdrop
How
the hell did I miss that? Big-Chill commented
Placed
you hand against the symbol and think about your human form Beast
ordered.
Big-Chill
did as he was told, he placed a hand on the symbol and concentrated.
A moment later he was surrounded by a flash of green light. When the
light dimmed Ron was standing there in his normal body.
Hey
cool! Thatll come in handy Ron said with a smile.
Good,
it looks like its working fine, now check the hologram interface
beast said with a smile, Ron looked at his with a stupefied look.
press the green buttons Beast simplified it.
Oh
right, I knew that Ron said he held up the watch and pressed the

Cool,
now I can change into Big-Chill whenever I want, I cant wait to

he wanted Team Possibles help to find the locations of certain
Mutants, when I asked him why he wanted to know he told me he it was
to Get rid of the mutant problem I didnt like the way he
said it so I refused to help him Ron explained.
As
interesting as that is, what does it have to do with the assassin?
Charles asked curiously, still looking at the armband Ron had passed
him.
The
man I met wore one exactly like it, he mentioned that their group
calls themselves the Friends of Humanity
