Mysterious X #5 Hidden Truths Part 2

“It’s crazy how everything comes together when you least expect it!”- Mysterious X

(Shing Slice Clang)

“Wow It seems you have mastered your X powers more than I expected.”said Author X.

“What’s that even supposed to mean?” snapped Mysterious X.

“It means you’ve only unlocked some of your true potential, but don’t worry you won’t be able to master them enough by the time I’m done with you.” said Author X with a smirk.

“Oh I’m not going down without a fight!”said Mysterious X.

“Then it seems I️ have to up my game!”said Author X creating clones of himself all over the room.

“Okay that’s cool.”said X shocked in disbelief.

Meanwhile.........

“I’ve got you trapped now.”said Metal Master.

“Yeah temporarily you do.”said Iron Fighter as he broke through the metal he was being held with. He quickly charged at Metal Master and docked him in the jaw with one swing from is armored suit.

“Ooof!”said Metal Master as he hit the ground with a thud.

“Just for the record I️ lied earlier when I️ said my suit was made of metal. It’s made of a polymer.”said Iron Fighter standing over Metal Master triumphantly. “You would be more help to society as a construction worker Metal Master.” Iron Fighter knocked him out and then rushed to go help Mysterious X.

Project BREACHWALL Room........

“You see Mysterious X I️ could be anywhere in this room and you wouldn’t even know it.”said Author X as he punched X from behind and disappeared again.

“Well I️ you sure do know how to tick a guy off Author X and I’m pretty sure that’s not even your real name.”sighed X breathing heavily at the fight. Just then Iron Fighter ran into the room.

"Metal master is down. X! Who's this guy?" asked Iron Fighter.

“Iron Fighter I️ would like you to meet Author X or the man who screwed up my life.” said Mysterious X.

“The pleasure is all mine.”retorted Author X.

“Oh so bad blood between you guys is what’s going on here.” said Iron Fighter.

“Yeah pretty much and on top of that this guy has like fifty clones of himself.” said X.

“So just another day at the job.” said Iron Fighter.

“Hey do you think you have some sort of gadget to see which one of these clones is the real Author X.” said X.

“Yeah I got something like that.” said Iron Fighter using his suit to scan through the clones for heat signatures. “Okay I got one he’s up on the ledge just above us better move quick he’s getting away.”

“Read you loud and clear Iron Fighter. Oh and by the way I think your Metal friend there wants a rematch.” said X pointing to Metal Master charging towards Iron Fighter from behind.

“Man this guy knows how to take a beating. Sheesh thought my last punch knocked his butt out.” said Iron Fighter turning around quickly to punch him in the face.

“I guess I’ll talk to you later after after this whole ordeal is over with Author X.”said X starting to run after Author X.

“Yeah we’ll talk.” said Iron Fighter grabbing Metal Master in a chokehold.

Deeper In The BREACHWALL Room...............

“You know this hide and seek game is really starting to get old Author X!” said Mysterious X getting tired and frustrated.

“Well in that case let me tell you what this machine does.” said Author X from across the room.Just then Mysterious X looked where Author X was standing.

“Oh there you are. I was wondering if I was hearing a ghost or something. Say what happened to your clones? I thought I was really starting to connect with them back there.” said X.

“Are you finished? Anyway you see this earth is only one of many earths. This machine will allow me to peer into the vast multiverse and allow me to broadcast a message to all the earths to get all of the alternate versions of you to come to this earth to and steal their powers for myself. It’s just to good of a plan.” said Author X flipping the machine on.

“Wait what’s happening?! Curse youuuu Authorrrrr Xxxxxxx” said Ener-Chi as the machine drained him of his power instantly dying.

“A minor casualty, but a necessary one indeed.”said Author X with a grin on his face. “It’s showtime.”

“I’m sorry Author X you know I can’t let you do this.” said X.

“I know you can’t, so I sent you someone to keep you busy.” said X pressing a button on the a control panel near by. A door started opening nearby releasing another one of Author X’s assassins.

“I’m Electrode and I’m here to fry your circuits!”said the assassin.

“I’m not a robot or a machine, but since your in my way I guess I’ll have to stop you.” said X running towards Electrode.

“ People of the X powers I need you to come to earth one——-.” said Author X before the machine got destroyed. “What happened?”

“Oh yeah sorry my bad. I did that when so threw your assassin into the machine. He was really easy to defeat. You should probably consider getting new villains to face me just saying.”said X.

“You fool. You will pay for that!” said Author X angrily.

“Anyway want to fight again? It was pretty epic the last time.” said X.

“Oh that does it. I’m going to make you disappear permanently.” said Author X dashing towards X.

“Leave him alone Author X!” said Krasnov from behind him.

“Or what?” said Author X stopping in his tracks.

“Or I’ll blow up APRAX for good.”said Dr. Krasnov heroically.

“How dare you.” said Author X stabbing Krasnov through the chest dropping him instantly.

“Dr. Krasnov!” said Mysterious X running over to aid him.

“Warning Self Destruct Sequence Initiated!” a voice over the intercom stated.

“You must go X. I’ve set the building to explode. Here take this and get out of here.” said Krasnov handing X a journal. In this are some secrets about the X Powers and my adventures.”

“Your not going to die Krasnov!” said X panicking.

“It’s okay X. I will be with my family shortly.” said Krasnov slowly dying.

“Why give this to me?” said X curiously.

“Because this world needs hope, but most importantly this world needs heroes to combat the darkness. Now go!” said Krasnov fainting and then he was gone.

“You were a good man Krasnov.” said X closing Krasnov’s eyes.

“Well cant say I didn’t enjoy our fight X but it’s time I take my leave of absence.” said Author X disappearing through a portal.

“Yeah I’m looking forward to our next meeting.”said X.

“We have to go X now. I’ve scanned the structure and we don’t have much time before this place becomes a pile of rumble.” said Iron Fighter rushing towards X carrying Metal Master’s body.

“The self destruct sequence didn’t give it away? Anyway let’s jump out of that window right there.”said X pointing across the room.

“Alright lets do this.” said Iron Fighter charging towards the window and crashing through it. Mysterious X followed behind with Krasnov’s body and jumped out the window then teleported safely to the ground.

“Man we really did a number on that place. Hope they have insurance or something for that building.” said X jokingly.

“Probably not.” said Iron Fighter flying off to put Metal Master in prison.

“Rude. He didn’t even bother to say goodbye or thank you.” said Mysterious X looking up at the sky.

A Few Weeks Later..............

“Ashes to Ashes old friend.” said X burying Krasnov’s casket.

“Isn’t a minister or somebody else supposed to do that.” said Iron Fighter walking up behind him.

“ I figured I’d give him a Superhero burial. It’s what he deserves.” said X driving his shovel into the ground right beside him.

“He probably would have wanted a normal funeral. Anyway seems like this whole world has gone crazy so whatever.” said Iron Fighter shaking his head.

“You know if you want you could help dig this whole and maybe say a few nice words about him.” said X.

“I’d rather not look like a criminal.” said Iron Fighter.

“Suit yourself. Anyway I looked over Dr. Krasnov’s notes.” said X looking up at Iron Fighter.

“And?” said Iron Fighter.

“I think we’re going to need a team to face the threat coming to our world. It’s worse than Author X.”said X.

“Why?” said Iron Fighter.

“Because I have a feeling we’re going to need all the superpowers we can get to defeat it.” said X continuing to bury the casket.

An Unknown Location.................

“Oh how the might have fallen. Malsuffice I have an errand for you. It seems it’s time for the X Wars to begin. Mwhahahahaha!”

said a shadowy figure laughing.

The End For Now.
