-Location: Westchester, New York- 

-Date: 6:15pm, Sept, 15th, 2003- 

-POV: Narrator- 

Out of thin air, Tomura and his group appeared. Tomura looked over to Madelyne and see the sour expression on her face. 

Tomura looked forward and seen Ororo Munroe. Aka, Storm. She had on a black blouse, with black jeans. She wore black heals on her feet, which enhanced her already tall stature. 

"Miss Munroe, it's a pleasure to finally meet the beautiful storm." Said Tomura as he took her hand and kiss it. 

"It's also a pleasure, the Professor is waiting in his office. And it's good to see you again Jean." Said Ororo as she walked over to Madelyne. 

"My name is Madelyne now. Please don't call me her name." Said Madelyne as she hugged Ororo. 

"Okay, Madelyne." Said Ororo. 

Ororo let go, and let them to the school. Tomura and Ororo spoke, and he told her a bit about what he wanted to speak to Charles about. 

"You're more than welcome to stay and listen. I'm sure you would want to hear what I have to say as well." Said Tomura. 

"I would love too, but unfortunately , I have to prep for class in the morning." Said Ororo. 

"Too bad, well thank you for accompanying us." Said Tomura as he kissed Ororo's hand once again. 

"Wow, Ms. Munroe. You got a boyfriend?" Asked one of the younger mutants. 

Tomura looked and see it was a teenage girl. She stood at about 5'3(160cm), and had short hair. 

"Jubi, get to your room." Said Ororo. 

"Of course teach. Hey Ms. Jean." Said Jubilee as she skipped away. 

"It's Madelyne, Jubi." Yelled Madelyne. 

Tomura could see a faint smile on her face. She didn't seem as irritated as before. 

"Sorry for the misunderstanding. She's a bit wild." Said Ororo. 

"It's fine, kids should be like that. Especially kids who have to deal with what we have to deal with on a daily basis." Said Tomura. 

Ororo just smiled and walked away. The office door opened, and inside was Hank McCoy, Charles Xavier, Scoot Summers, Jean Grey, and Logan. 

"I'll go with Madelyne. The rest of you go just wait around." Said Tomura. 

"Are you sure?" Asked Emma. 

"Yeah, this conversation may go on for a while. I know you have an early morning tomorrow, so you can go back home without me." Said Tomura. 

Emma just nodded and pecked Tomura on the cheek. She, Irene(Destiny), and Mystique walked away. 

Tomura and Madelyne entered the room. When they walked inside, Jean shot up from her seat and stared at Madelyne. 

Tomura could tell right away that Jean was surprised, but happy. Scott looked away, trying to avoid staring. 

This made Madelyne angry, but Tomura placed his hand on her back and told her to sit. 

"Mr. Shigaraki, it's a pleasure." Said Charles. 

"Yes Professor, it's a pleasure. Logan, I see you're as mean as ever." Said Tomura as he and Logan locked eyes. 

"Looks like the little twerp grew up. Is your old man still as ass?" Asked Logan. 

"Yeah, he's probably still an insufferable ass in Hell. I killed him a few years ago. After he killed my uncle." Said Tomura as his smile slowly faded. 

"Ah, about damn time. If you didn't do it, I would've. But sorry to hear about your uncle. He was something special, even for a human." Said Logan. 

"Yeah." Said Tomura. 

"Anyway, I'm here to make a deal with you. And to tell you of the plans I've told Erik. This involves the future of mutantkind." Said Tomura. 

Tomura went on to explain his plans and the new get he from destiny. Charles was shocked at the intricacies of Tomura's plans. 

But a lot of it didn't sit right with him. 

"But killing these people. Does have to be the way?" Asked Charles. 

"They've been killing us for years, experiments, cloning, slavery. All of this, and for what? Because we're different from them? These is only so much we can take before one of us snaps." Said Tomura. 

Everyone in the room looked down. He was right. It was only a matter of time before one mutant snaps and start killing indiscriminately. 

And when that happens, some people who hate mutants will be proven right. 

"What part do I play in this?" Asked Charles. 

"First of all, the truth. About everything. Jean, having a primordial entity inside of her, your sister, your kids, and alot of things you've done. I was tempted to put you on the list, but I want to give you a chance." Said Tomura. 

"How do you know all of this?" Asked Charles. 

"I did my research. I have people all over the world digging up knowledge. Yours was the easiest to fine. Like your son David. Or the fact that the danger room is alive. She will be freed by the way." Said Tomura. 

"Now you're just lying. The professor would never do such things." Said Scott. 

"Right professor?" Asked Scott as he looked at Charles. 

Charles gripped the arms of his wheelchair and held his head down. 

"What he says is true my boy. All of it." Said Charles. 

"But I did it for the greater good. I couldn't abandon my mission, I needed focus." Said Charles. 

"The greater good? Bullshit, you were afraid. Sealing Jean's memories, erasing Scott's memories of his brother Gabriel, Darwin, Petra, and Sway. Those young mutants who went to Krakoa to save your x-men. Your friend Moira McTaggert. Did you know she's a mutant? She never told you, but she is." Said Tomura. 

"She was the one who told me of all your wrongdoings. You see? Her mutant ability is rewound reincarnation. She can reincarnation into the past, whist keeping her memories from the future. And according to her, you committed some evil crimes." Said Tomura. 

"Now, I'm not here to tell you you're not welcomed in our world. But you will pay one way or another for what you've done. Now, will you join my cause? You have no other choice." Said Tomura. 

"Fine, I will join. I will also give everyone their memories back. I will also take down the blocks I've placed in jeans mind." Said Charles. 

"No, I will handle jean's situation. The Phoenix will most likely kill you immediately. I will be hunting down your sister. She will cause irreparable damage to mutants in the future. She must die." Said Tomura as he stood up. 

"Oh, and bring your son here. He's messed up partially because of you. Once I kill Cassandra, I will help him sort his multiple personalities." Said Tomura. 

"Scott, once you finish chewing into Charles, meet me, Jean, and Madelyne outside. We have some things to discuss." Said Tomura as he walked out. 

Madelyne followed him. 

"I didn't know the professor had done all of those things. And it surprised me that Moira is a mutant. How come we didn't know?" Asked Madelyne. 

"She has a trait that allows her to not be identified as a mutant. It something special. Now I have her as an ally. She was really fed up with Charles, that she started to hate mutants." Said Tomura. 

"But what she told me of the future, is that Charles is a control freak who is ruled by fear. He masks his desire for control as kindness. He needs help." Said Tomura. 

"I'm sure you remember your way around. Take me to the danger room. And you can come to, Jean." Said Tomura as he raised his voice at the end. 

Jean walked out and had an embarrassed expression. 

"So is what you said true? There's a cosmic entity inside me?" Asked Jean. 

"Yes, that's how you came back to life. Honestly, I'm surprised she hasn't taken over yet. I'm glad Dark Phoenix hasn't started yet. Apparently, after you came back, you were a bit evil. According to Moira." Said Tomura, using Moira as his stand in for foreknowledge. 

"I have been feeling a presence inside of me. It calls to me too. Telling me to destroy and all that. I've been keeping it under control." Said Jean. 

"It's okay. Once I defeat Cassandra, I will be back to help you." Said Tomura. 

"While I'm in the danger room, please try to get to know each other. And please understand, you both are not to blame. If you want to blame someone, blame Scott. He's a good guy, he just makes stupid choices." Said Tomura as he walked away. 

He was going to have Madelyne guide him to the danger room, but he'll just use Radio wave to find it. 

After about 10 minutes, he was finally on the lower floor. It was a hallway made of pure chrome. 

He made his way towards the danger room, and once he got there, the doors opened on their own. 

"It seems you were expecting me?" Questioned Tomura. 

[I heard everything you said to the professor. So I prepared for your arrival.] 

Danger spoke in a feminine voice. It was a bit robotic, but he could tell it was a woman. 

"So how do you feel about getting out of here?" Asked Tomura. 

[I would like that.] 

Said danger as the room started to shift. Wires and metal pieces started to take the shape of a woman. 

After about thirty seconds, she was fully formed. 

[I left a sliver of my consciousness in the code. So they will be able to use the room like before. Those children don't deserve punishment for what Charles did.] 

"Well, from now on, you're apart of my family. No one will mistreat you ever again." Said Tomura. 

[Thank you, please hold out your hand.] 

Tomura stuck his left hand out, and Danger started to morph into a watch. 

[I do not wish to reveal myself as of yet. When the time is right, I will show myself.] 

"That's fine, let's go then." Said Tomura as he headed back upstairs. 

-Later- 

Currently, Tomura was in the middle of an argument. He was involved, he was quite literally in the middle of it. 

"YOU LEFT ME AND YOUR SON SCOTT! HOW ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL? YOU BETRAYED MY TRUST." Yelled Madelyne. 

"And I'm sorry, I was conflicted. Jean's sudden return confused me." Said Scott. 

"Don't go blaming her. She didn't even know i existed. Answer me Scott, was the love we had real? Or did you just see me as a replacement for Jean?" Asked Madelyne. 

Scott's words couldn't come out. But both Madelyne and Jean knew. You didn't have to be a telepath to know Scott's answer. 

"I knew it, don't expect to see Nate anytime soon. Once I get MY son back, you will never hear from us again." Said Madelyne as she stormed out. 

"Wait!" Scott tried stopping her, but Tomura stepped in. 

Jean had an expression of disappointment. 

"Scott, i appreciate your effort in loving me. But you had a family, a son. You should be with her. But that's ship has sailed. You're in hot water until I find a way to forgive you." Said Jean as she went after Madelyne. 

Scott had the look of defeat on his face. He had no one to blame but himself. 

"Well, now that things are finished here, I'll be on my way. And Scott, get it together man. You're the leader, try and bounce back." Said Tomura. 

"I know, but as of now. I'm not fit to be the leader. I'll hand my duties over to Ororo for the time being." Said Scott. 

"Okay. Whatever yall decide on what to do with Charles, I'll side with you. He's done a lot of damage." Said Tomura as he walked away. 

He made his way outside. It was dark, as it just turned seven. 

Emma, Mystique, Destiny, Azazel, Were all waiting for him outside. There were also some new faces. 

Psylocke, also known as Kwannon came along. After hearing about what Charles did, she didn't want anything to do with him. 

Same with Sunspot, or Roberto Da Costa. He was a young man, around Tomura's age. 

"Well, looks like we got some more friends. Welcome aboard." Said Tomura. 

Ororo had also came outside to say her farewells, but you could tell she was upset. Plus clouds were forming above the school due to her emotional state. 

"I hope you all figure everything out. I will be see you." Said Tomura. 

He turned around and looked at his crew. Emma came and stood by him. 

"You go ahead. I'm gonna start hunting my targets. I'll see you in the morning." Said Tomura. 

"Are you sure? I can come with." Said Emma. 

"It's fine, you have a long day tomorrow." Said Tomura as he rubbed her hand. 

"I'll be back." Said Tomura as he started to hover in the air. 

He shot into the air, and then activated his combination of quirks. 

[Flight + Repulsion Ring + Air Walk= Hypersonic Flight]

BOOOOOM! 

Tomura broke the sound barrier, and headed east. 

Tonight was going to be a reaping. And he was the reaper. 

To be Continued…..

===============================

All his affairs are in order now. He can finally hunt his main targets. With Charles and Erik in tandem, he had the majority of mutants on his side. 

All he has to do is look for the Morlocks, and he'll have all major parties of mutants. It was the early 2000s, so most of the groups like Excalibur, X-force, etc, weren't a thing. 

It's just Hellfire club, X-Men, Brotherhood of mutants, and morlocks.
