"I'm here to help you..."

Everything seemed to stop for Noriko after she heard those words. It was as if she was dreaming and was only hearing what she wanted to hear. However, her mind quickly realized that she wasn't dreaming and this was real life.

"Why...?" Noriko wasn't ignorant of what was happening to mutants. The people hated them for their differences, things that were out of their control. People like them were either killed or taken to whatever hell hole nearby.

Sion didn't have an answer to her question, and he didn't want to have one. He simply acted, calling upon his power.

Chains.

They are used to subdue, to restrain a person or an object. However, there are many different kinds of chains, each with its own usage.

One such use is to transfer power, one typically belonging to a bicycle. Of course, that is simply a mechanical use, but what if those chains were mystical?

Could it do something extraordinary?

"Hey, Nova?"

"Yes?"

"Authorize X-chains."

"AUTHORIZING X-CHAINS!"

Noriko didn't know where that other voice came from, but before she knew it, she witnessed chains shooting out of the masked person's belt, forming a gauntlet on his right hand.

Immediately after appearing, the chains slowly extended towards her, wrapping around her waist.

"W-wait!-" She wanted to scream. For a moment she thought she was going to be taken or worse. However, the unthinkable happens and her power that was out of control started to lessen.

The overwhelming feeling of power was slowly leaving her body, but how?

"These chains allow me to absorb energy to a certain extent. " Sion answered as if he knew she wanted to question.

"...I apologize for scaring you..." He added in a strangely gentle tone.

Noriko blankly stared at him. She was stunned that someone that looked scary could sound like that. At that moment, she wanted to see what was underneath that mask, to see the face of the man that was helping her.

"...My name is Noriko.." She somehow felt the need for him to know.

"I didn't ask."

"O-oh..?" Noriko laughed awkwardly as the mass of electricity ceased to exist. She became overjoyed with tears in her eyes that reverted back to their natural brown color.

"T-thank you.." She bowed her head repeatedly. "I'll somehow repay you in the future...Could I know your name?" She asked sternly while staring directly into Sion's eyes through his lenses.

"No it-"

* Bzzzz...BOOM!* Suddenly, a red laser came out of nowhere and slammed against Sion, exploding with enough force to knock him off his feet.

"We're here to help hon~ No need to thank us. Hey, Wolverine why don't you do something about the chains on our friend. " The young woman with auburn hair said as four other unique people followed after her.

"N-no wait!" Noriko screamed with hopes of stopping them, unfortunately, she was too late.

The man with the wild look instinctively moved forward just as three metal claws slid out from his clenched fists. He then swiped with his right hand to cut the chain to free the distressed mutant.

"Easy-"

*Bam!* Wolverine's actions were halted by an attack so strong that it sent him flying across the pavement.

"Wolverine!!"

"Who the HELL are you?!" Sion shouted, clearly pissed off by them getting in his way. The earlier attack had hurt him quite considerably as signs of burning could be found on his chest.

["You have 20 minutes left of this form"] Nova reminded him although he clearly wasn't listening.

"No way! I clearly hit him full blast!" Scott shouted. He was by no means underestimating the masked person, but still, he believed his attack would have at least kept him down longer.

"This man is stronger than he looks." Storm commented as she started to use her powers to call forth lightning to strike him down.

"Stand down Storm! This one is mine!" Wolverine roared as he dashed towards Sion.

"I'm going to make you pay for that punk!" The attack from earlier broke quite a few ribs, but luckily he possessed a near broken power that allowed him to heal from any injury.

Sion simply snorted at this and stood in place as he watched the dangerous claws near his body, threatening to rip him to shreds.

At first, Wolverine thought it was going to be an easy win, but all of sudden his instincts started to scream at him.

Danger!!!

However, it was far too late...

*BOOM!!* Sion had thrown a devasting punch with his non-dominating hand which happened to be his left towards the man's jaw, shattering it on impact as he flew into a nearby car, setting off the alarm.

"Are you... trying to kill me?" Sion growled, releasing an invisible pressure that only experienced killers could possess, making everyone in the area shake from fear.

Although the people he killed were but mere illusions, the memories and sensations were all real.

He remembered every gruesome detail in the hellhole, hearing them scream as he killed them in cold blood. Sion nearly forgot about them until he felt the killing intent of the man with claws.

Do they wish to kill him?

Get in his way?

KILL...

KILL!!

KILL!!!

As these thoughts swirled in his head a change within Sion started to happen.

Something was clearly wrong with him, but it was far too late.

As his emotions flared, the mystical power inside of his body started to stir, raising the temperature of his body as the eye lenses on his helmet started to glow blood red.

The mouthpiece of the mask started to split apart while dagger-like teeth started to form. It looked like he was straight out of a horror film about a beast that lived for...slaughter.

["Stop!!"] Nova shouted within his mind. Normally their voice sounded robotic and lifeless, but this time it sounded alive...and feminine.

The chains that were wrapped around Noriko suddenly moved from her body and went straight towards the owner, wrapping around his entire body, forcing him to fall with a loud thud.

"I'LL KILL YOU!!" Sion roared with an intensity that caused the surrounding area to experience a small tremor as he struggled to break free.

"We have to destroy him. He's too dangerous to be left alive!" The man with a red visor shouted, preparing to shoot another blast with everything he had.

"AHHHH!!!"

"STOP!" The young woman with the red hair shouted after stepping in front of the man.

"Why? What's wrong Jean?" Scott frowned.

"I...don't know Scott..I've been trying to get in his mind since the beginning, but something is blocking me," Jean replied while trying even harder to get inside of Sion's mind. She didn't have time to explain it at first, but she believed the person was helping the new mutant before they arrived.

'The chains are restraining him, but what is this feeling?... I can't enter his head, but I feel so much power and...rage. And why is it so familiar?..' The telepath wondered.

"Is it the helmet? Is it like the one Magneto has?" Storm asked.

"What is like mine?" a voice inquired. One that was all too familiar as they battled the owner several times.

They all looked up to see a middle-aged man in a red suit and a helmet, floating just above them with his hands behind his back. He'd look down at the people with his bluish-grey eyes as he slowly made his descent.

"Interesting situation. The X-men...supposed heroes are attacking another hero?" The man chuckled disdainfully. He was quite up to date with the goings of the world because of Mystique who was busy on another mission, one befitting her ability.

"Hero?" The X-Men all glanced at the masked person who was desperately biting the chains that bound his body. He looked nothing like a hero, but a wild beast that needed to be put down.

"AH! It's him! The one that fought with the Avengers!" The woman with the auburn hair screamed as she remembered watching the video recently.

"That's him?!" Scott looked in disbelief.

"You know of him, Rogue?" Storm asked curiously. Typically Storm was too busy with her duties to know what was happening in the world. The only reason she knew about the alien invasion is that she happened to see it when she was outside one day.

Several of the mutants wanted to fight that day, but they were persuaded by the Professor to not interfere.

"Yeah...The video of him was all over social media. I'm not too into it myself, but Kitty was the one that showed me and it is the same person...no one could forget what he looked like." Rogue replied.

"He doesn't look like a hero right now," Scott said, sounding disgruntled.

Wolverine had just finished up healing and wanted another go at the masked person, but he could only growl with dissatisfaction after hearing what Rogue said.

["You only have 15 minutes left. Get yourself together!"] Nova shouted, sounding a bit more stern.

After hearing Nova's voice again, Sion finally showed signs of calming down as his mask slowly reverted back to normal. The chains then unwrapped themselves from around his body and shifted back into a gauntlet.

"Ugh...What was that..." Sion groaned, feeling a bit groggy.

Seeing that he was back to normal, Noriko immediately rushed over and helped him to his feet.

She was a bit afraid of him, but she was even more worried about him which overruled her natural reaction to run.

"Are...you ok?" She asked with concern.

"Yeah..." Sion promptly answered, quickly pulling away from the Japanese girl which somewhat hurt her feelings.

'I don't smell that bad right? Wait...can he even smell underneath that?...' Noriko frowned. She had tried her best to stay clean, but her powers made it a bit difficult to even take a simple bath.

Soon after, a few people who stayed in the area started to come out of their hiding spots and started to scream at them.

"Get out of here! You freak!"

"Yeah, we don't need any more of your kind!"

"The city was already nearly ruined, and look what you have done!"

"Get the fuck out of here!!"

More and more people started to gather, screaming profanities and cursing the mutants as the local police started to arrive on the scene with their guns drawn.

"Get down on the ground!"

Seeing them completely surrounded frightened Noriko and she unconsciously stepped closer to Sion.

"Do you see now child?" Magneto said as he used his powers over magnetism to take away all the weapons and pointed them back at the police.

"Humanity has always feared that which is different, but I am here to tell you, to tell the world, that they are right to fear us." He sneered as his team of mutants started to arrive on the scene, scaring the humans away.

"We are the future. We are the ones who inherit this earth and anyone who stands in our way will suffer the same fa-"

"You talk too much..." Sion muttered, becoming a blur as he grabbed hold of Magneto's cape and slammed him towards the ground, generating so much force that it demolished the pavement, forming a crater.

"Ugggh..." He groaned painfully, unable to move a single muscle, and something was definitely broken.

Magneto's lackeys and even the X-men were stunned at how easily the deranged mutant was taken out. However, that only lasted for a minute as the current situation started to escalate even further with the arrival of the army that was still stationed in the area.

"We need to get out of here now!" Scott commanded as he started to dash to the area where they left their cloaked jet. "Storm! You know what to do!"

Storm simply nodded and called upon her powers over the weather to conjure up a twister in the middle of the road, controlling it only to block the advances of the army while doing the least amount of damage possible.

"I know it must be strange, but please come with us. You'll have a home where you can stay as long as you'd like. We can even help you with your powers." Jean said, startling Noriko a bit after placing a hand on her shoulder.

"And you-"

"Not interested," Sion said which somewhat hurt the woman's feelings. She too wanted to see what was underneath the mask, but seemed like today wasn't the day.

"I..." Noriko glanced at the seemingly indifferent Sion with hopes of him coming with her. She didn't know anyone in the USA, and he was the first to show her kindness.

"Just go." He grumbled.

"Ok..." She pouted as she followed after Jean along with Rogue and Wolverine who had a few words for Sion before he left.

"This isn't over bub!" He growled.

Sion shook his head at this as he was secretly glad he had a mask on to hide his identity. He then sighed, looking at all the chaos and destruction one last time before focusing his eyes on the approaching mutants that wished to retrieve their fallen leader.

Several minutes later, the sounds of a jet taking off could be heard in the distance which Storm took as a cue to leave, disappearing above the clouds to board it as it left the area.

'What a mess...' Sion lamented.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Not far away from the chaos, a familiar red-haired woman and hero with an unscientific shield were stationed.

It was Black Widow and Captain America.

Currently, Natasha was speaking with Nick Fury on her radio to see what they needed to do next.

"Commander, why did you tell us to stay back? And who were those people?" Natasha inquired through the radio.

"Hmm...I'll have to explain once you come back to base," Nick replied. "But for now...is the target still in the area?"

"I had my eyes on him...but lost him after he defeated the hostiles." Steve sighed.

"Return to base and I'll send out the cleanup crew. Hopefully, after this, we'll finally catch a break." He groaned.

"Understood." They both answered.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

After defeating the hostile mutants single-handled, Sion simply left, leaving behind the police and army that wanted to bring him in for questioning.

Several minutes later, he returned to school where he was reprimanded for skipping class.

A lot of students started to label him as a delinquent to which some people were excited about.

Sion could care less as he was mainly zoning out while thinking about what happened to him earlier.

He lost control.

Something like that had never happened before...

'No...I remember the feeling back in the goddess's domain when I was fighting her last conjuration.

At that moment, the goddess immediately stopped the fight and told him about the last trial.

Could it be connected somehow?

Although the feeling was gone, it felt like if he lost focus for even a moment then he might do something he'll regret.

Even now, he would glance at a person and all he could think about was killing them.

KILL!!!

KILL!!!!

DO IT NOW!!!!

The thoughts would have driven him insane if not for his mental fortitude.

What was happening to him?

Hours later, the school finally finished without any strange incidents which was seriously appreciated as that blonde-haired girl he met earlier was pestering him all day. Peter had tried to interact with him, but he gave off this aura that said "Don't Fuck With Me."

'Maybe I'll try something a bit different tomorrow.' Peter thought as he formulated a plan.

As he was walking out of the school, Sion started to seriously contemplate.

["Nova...we need to have a talk when I get home.."] Sion mentally said to his companion.

["A-alright..."]

["A long one..."] He frowned, glancing out the window of the yellow bus that took him and Peter home.

(A/N: Also about the mutants with Magneto? None of them were his heavy hitters or important players like Mystique. Ty)
