The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)
Chapter 188 - Arrangements...[POV Reo]
Heh! If he really thinks that I would just trust him then he got another thing coming. I will keep a close eye on him and if I had known that Magneto was so weak I wouldn't have asked Nemuri to cast the anti-magnetic wards. His powers wouldn't have affected Nemuri in any way after all she is no longer human and her body is way stronger than any normal metals.
Maybe adamantium or vibranium weapons could hurt the girls but anything less than that won't even put a scratch on the girls. As Luna can see the future I am not worried about her. Momo is also absorbing the solar radiation and has been nourishing her body… she is not even close to how strong Superman was but she won't get injured if she is attacked with normal weapons.
I don't even need to care about Fleur's safety. If she dies she will be reborn from her ashes… and Dora, she isn't even here and Rumi's senses have become very sharp. She got something like spider-sense but much better than it. So, at this moment I don't need to worry, Magneto can only attack Natasha who is protected by Nemuri.
I guess I have more important things to take care of now. Each second I waste will be bad for me.
"Nemuri, apply those anti-surveillance runes on the Island, I don't want any Government taking a peek here. Luna, help her" I said and both of them nodded. Nemuri pulled out a small trunk from her pocket and enlarged it. Magneto saw that with wide eyes… Nemuri took a stack of papers and handed them to Luna.
"Nat… you stay here, I will be back soon" Nemuri said and shrank the trunk and put it back in her pocket. After that, both Nemuri and Luna disappeared from the place without making a sound.
"I never gave you permission to call me that!" Natasha was only able to protest about her pet name after Nemuri left.
I pulled out my phone and texted Momo that I have taken control of the island and they can come over. They replied that they would be apparating here in a few minutes.
"So, what now?" Rumi asked me. Finally, the other mutants were also waking up.
"You tell them what happened, I don't want anyone messing with anything" I said looking towards Magneto. Then I turned back towards Rumi "We build, Momo and Fleur are coming here in a few minutes. Firstly, we would need to make this place safe… I don't like that they could just drop a nuke here and make us go poof" I said.
"What are you planning to do? Humans would never listen to you and no matter how strong you are, you can't fight all of them" Magneto spoke to me with some anger in his voice. It was clear that he wasn't angry at me… in fact, he was angry at humans… it was clear with how he spat out the word humans.
"You don't have to worry about a single thing… humans like their comfort, can you tell me what they are?" I asked Magneto, who looked thoughtful but before he could speak anything Mystique spoke up.
"Their technology, their money, their food, everything around them is their comfort" Mystique spoke with venom in her voice.
"Yes, and I will be taking away those from the humans…" I was about to continue but with a loud crack, Momo and Fleur appeared on the island.
I decided to greet them first, I gave Momo a kiss on her lips which she very much appreciated then did the same with Fleur. Both of them had missed me a lot since me and Luna left Knox to take care of those nuclear warheads.
Momo pulled out a tab from her bag and started to do some calculations. "This island is quite big… 5144 square miles. How long do we have?" Momo asked me looking towards me.
"As soon as possible" I said, I knew that the President will soon announce his decision, and as soon as he does that other countries will also follow.
"If we work to the bone then we will be able to do it by a week but there is a small complication" Fleur spoke looking around the island.
"What's this small complication?" I asked in a worried tone because if Momo and Fleur think that the matter is complicated then it is complicated.
"We were able to make the barrier strong enough to stop nuclear warheads but they will only stop about 5 warheads nothing more… anything more and they will fall" Fleur said and Momo nodded her head in agreement.
"Five will be enough for now… will the barriers stop the radiation?" I asked, this was an important thing.
"Yes, indefinitely. If the radiation is outside then it will stay outside and only direct impact will affect the barriers" Momo said showing me her notebook.
I didn't understand a single thing from her notes, if it was pure magic then it would have been easy for me to understand but I have always been weak in science.
"Then you can start working… Magneto do you have a lab or something like that in your base?" I spoke to Momo and Fleur then turned towards Magneto to get the girls a lab or something so that they can work.
"Yes, I have" Magneto said. I quickly used legilimency on him and found that he didn't know what was happening but he knew that we were talking about some barriers that could stop the nuclear strikes. He was happy to help them in any way possible.
"We also might need some help" Momo said and Magneto told them that they could ask the others if they needed help. Hell, he himself agreed to help since he could control metal. Momo and Fleur immediately agreed that Magneto would be the best.
"Fleur, how long do you think it will take us to make this whole island unplottable?" I asked Fleur who looked thoughtful for a few moments before answering.
"This island is very big and if you want to make this place unplottable then you would need at least 2 months even with all the raw magical power you and Nemuri have" Fleur said and I nodded my head. I won't be making a move until the barrier is prepared… I know that I have destroyed all those nukes and a virus will do the rest of the job but I don't need a trigger-happy country leader to attack us with his normal bombs.
I won't be leaving anything to stupid chances… the mission can go to hell if my girls are at risk and threatening the whole world before the barrier is erected will be risking my girls. And this island is so huge that Fidelius simply won't work, after all, Fidelius was made for houses and properties. After Nemuri comes back, both of us will start preparing the ward scheme…
{A Few Hours Later}
"Here, the President has decided to make the announcement" Luna approached me and Nemuri and handed me her tablet. Me and Nemuri have already started to work on the ward scheme. Natasha was laying down at the side… even though she was healed now she could only walk on her own because of the potion Nemuri gave her.
So, after the potion wore off Natasha decided to lay down. All of us were currently in Magneto's base. I have to say the dude might be a geezer but he has his style. When Natasha heard Luna, she pulled herself up from the bed and walked towards us.
Finally, the announcement started and the President told that this attack won't go unanswered. How the mutants are the biggest threat to current human society and how they will be treated like cattle. The President used better words to say that but the meaning was still the same… I kind of expected this. I was pretty sure that the President would never approve of indiscriminate killing.
So, he will choose the next best option the mutants will be controlled via using a collar and they will be weaponized. The President didn't announce that but he didn't need to, after all of us in the room got that underlying meaning. The President of the United States of America, the same country who preaches about equality and were staunch protestors of enslavement has taken the decision to enslave some of their own population. Yeah, the irony...
As soon as the announcement finished I pulled out my laptop, I wanted to check if they have already prepared their sensors or not. Thankfully they needed one more week to set up all the sensors. Trask Industries were given the responsibility and they were happy to do the duty.
A knock on our door was heard and I felt two people standing outside, Magneto and Mystique. I used my power and opened the door…
"Did you see the announcement?" Magneto asked me.
"Yes, I did and we still have one week before the sensors are installed everywhere" I said to Magneto who didn't look too much happy but nodded his head.
"Charles Xavier has contacted me. What should I do?" Magneto asked.
"Meet him, see what he has decided. He is a stupid old fool so there is very little chance that he will stop being so naïve. Try to influence the others that come with him… there is no way he will come alone. Take Rumi with you" I said to Magneto who nodded his head and left. He doesn't like taking orders but he knows that I am doing something for the betterment of mutants so he decided to follow them.
Hah! One more week before I threaten the whole world… last time I was only a Dark Lord in Magical Britain but this time I will be a Supervillain… Leviathan, the Supervillain kind of has a nice ring to it…
