BXBX NOVEL Chapter 210 - Next Targets...!!
(A/N: I did a vote to know if you wanted to see the crossover between Bleach and Shokugeki no Souma and \'Yes\' won with a landslide of votes.
Next thing I want to mention is that I wasn\'t able to fix my mistakes in last few chapters. I have been really busy and with the electricity and network problem going on because of the cyclone I am not able to use internet most of the time)
-----------------------------------------------------
[POV Reo]
"How much did we get?" I asked Eric after returning to Elysium.
"If you hadn\'t tortured him into insanity than I would have happily agreed to give it another go" Eric said in a disgusted voice.
"But we shouldn\'t release all this information, we could use this information to our advantage" some unnamed girl from Eric\'s group spoke up. My eyes immediately zeroed in on her and she was immediately nervous. The girl should just be a college graduate… I like her plan, I also had a similar plan.
"And why would we be doing that?" Eric growled in anger. Eric was definitely not happy with her and gave her a glare but this time the girl didn\'t falter.
"Yes, we could release all of this but it won\'t do us any good. We will get the necessary effect if we just release the video footage of Stryker brainwashing Kurt Wagner to assassinate the Kelly family and the First Lady… the rest, the rest could be used as leverage" the girl finished. Eh… the girl is smart.
"My idea exactly" I pointed. Eric didn\'t say anything and nodded his head in understanding.
After that, I decided to leave them be, we can deal with the announcements tomorrow. Though, I am not in any kind of hurry to announce the news. From what I have heard, currently, the island\'s population is 13 and a half million. From the original story I had remembered that there should be about 30 million meta-humans around the world… that means, more than half of the meta-human population is still out there…
Even though, I didn\'t have a discussion regarding this with Eric he knows that this is necessary. After all, if we announce the news tomorrow then most of the government will start to welcome back the meta-humans to their countries and everyone will give up their hostility temporarily. This will be counter-productive for my objective.
But giving up their hostility temporarily doesn\'t mean that they are going to stop hating meta-humans. Meta-humans might have special abilities but they are still human… their human nature wont just disappear so if the governments around the world call off the hunts, the meta-humans will find relief in that and they will definitely decide to remain there and the meta-humans here will try to go back.
Then, I had another matter to deal with… Scott Summers and Charles Xavier, currently neither of them poses a single threat to me or Elysium but that could change at any moment. I don\'t like having threats towards anything I have worked for… so, that means that they need to be dealt with.
With this thought I directly headed towards Ororo\'s and Jean\'s room. I approached their room and knocked on their door… it was Ororo who opened the door. For whatever reason, as soon as Ororo saw me, she blushed deep red and ran away… that was weird!!
I just stood right at the door with no idea what to do, finally Jean arrived and gave me an awkward look. "Don\'t mind Ororo, she has been acting weird like that since she had returned from training" Jean said ushering me inside and gave me a tight smile. Oh… now, I understand. Obviously spending a day with Nemuri was too much for Ororo.
"Its okay, spending a day with Nemuri could be… err… stressful" I said and gave myself a mental pat on my back for my diplomatic answer.
Jean\'s lips thinned again but she nodded her head. I was expecting Jean to react to react how Ororo reacted, after all, it was Jean who heard me and Momo having sex. I am not stupid… these things are simple common sense. Jean\'s cheeks were turning pink from time to time… that was the only indication I got.
"Jean, I need your help" I spoke up deciding to get to the point. Jean\'s demeanour immediately changed…
"So, how can I help you?" Jean asked curiously.
"You were able to sense the connection between Cerebro and Scott, right?" I asked her, Jean nodded her head with a confused look on her face. "So, I wanted to know if you can find out, if there is anyone else other than Scott who is relaying information?" I asked Jean who looked contemplative for a few seconds before turning her gaze in my direction.
"Yes, I can do that… it won\'t be hard but Scott might get suspicious if he sees me and I won\'t be able to do it if Scott is connected with Cerebro at that moment… Charles will definitely notice that" Jean answered in a serious tone.
"Can you tell me how the Cerebro works or is it possible for Charles to notice everyone around Scott?" I asked Jean in a curious tone. This was something important I needed to know, after all, I don\'t know much about Cerebro and in the movies much is not explained about that damn machine.
"I also don\'t know a lot about Cerebro… I know that it amplifies Charles\'s mental abilities but I don\'t know the exact ins and outs about the machine. Charles has always been secretive about his beloved machine… but from what I have seen, he can do anything with a willing subject. We know that Scott is a willing subject so he can share his vision… control all his actions. Sense everything around him… urghh!! I don\'t know" Jean finished with a frustrated look on her face.
"So, you are saying that he can use Scott as a medium and extend his powers here?" I asked her with a bewildered look on my face… if this is possible then it\'s not good… not good at all.
Jean didn\'t answer and shook her in denial. "No… no, he can\'t do that. This I know for sure. He can\'t use Scott as a medium and extend his powers but he can use Scott as his messenger or his puppet… if that makes any kind of sense" Jean said and started to pace around the room.
"Ok, lets do this tomorrow… first I will deal with Scott and anyone else who are in league with Charles. Then, we will go and deal with Charles" I said making up my mind. Some might call me stupid because I will be going with incomplete information and half-baked plans but then comes the deciding factor… my power. I am not absolute but I am very much overconfident that I will be able to deal with anything Charles throws at me.
"Just like that?? Wont we need plans? You might be strong but Charles always has contingencies… he still has a loyal friend, Hank McCoy" Jean spoke with scepticism in her voice.
"You don\'t need to worry about that human loving fool… they are inconsequential. Charles will die tomorrow, one way or another" I said with a determined voice.
"Leviathan, Charles belongs to me… I will be the one to kill him" suddenly Jean\'s whole demeanor changed and she spoke in a different tone. It was quite clear that it was the Phoenix… Jean\'s face and the rest of her skin had started to crack but as soon as the Phoenix gave back control to Jean, the cracks started to fade.
I immediately grabbed Jean by her shoulders so she wouldn\'t fall down. "Are you okay? Are you still hurting?" I asked her in a worried tone.
She didn\'t say anything and nodded her head. I led Jean to the couch and helped her sit down… I knew that Ororo was in the washroom but didn\'t want to call her.
"That was way too much power for my body… the Phoenix thought that you would take away her prey" Jean spoke while huffing.
"Tell her I won\'t, but she needs to hold back on the power" I said in a caring tone and Jean just nodded her head meekly. She was blushing once again… must be because how close I am to her now.
"Um… why does the Phoenix call you Leviathan?" Jean asked me in a curious tone. She was still blushing but she thought that the question might be more important.
"Because I am the Leviathan of Destruction" I said in a proud and arrogant tone after all, I have got nothing to hide. The current person who can give me the most trouble on earth is the Ancient One and she didn\'t look to keen to get my ire… and there is no one currently on earth who could match me except the Phoenix.
I am not quite sure if Heimdall had noticed me or not. I have not a single fucking clue about how the Asgardians treat Cosmic Entites like me and the Phoenix Force inside Jean. If this was the comics world then, I would have a better idea but the marvel cinematic universe never interacted with the X-Men cinematic universe so it\'s hard to say…
I finally left her room but not before meeting Ororo, she was dragged out of the washroom by Jean. Not forcefully… Jean\'s words were enough. Ororo was a strong girl but I have no fucking idea what Nemuri could have done with her to make her this bashful… it would be better if I asked Nemuri about it though. With that thought I finally left the room and returned to my room… I sensed that all the girls were already there…
I walked into the room and found that all five of them were waiting for me on the bed in racy lingerie wearing animal ears and tails… well, except Nemuri and Rumi because they had natural tails and ears.
"Wow!" I exclaimed and I was pretty sure my jaw hit the floor when Fleur waved at me seductively with her finger.
"Handsome…!! Why don\'t you join us… don\'t you see we are quite lonely here…" Fleur said with a pout… I didn\'t even notice that the room was much more bigger now… I have much more important things to deal with… I quickly undressed myself and joined the girls on the bed, after all, I can\'t allow them to feel lonely now, can I???
