Age of Ultron Part 22

//

Maria, who was in the headquarters of the base of operations, received the Archangel's report and quickly passed the information on to her superiors.

At this moment there was only Magneto and Psylocke, who upon receiving that information made them frown.

"What do you think of those psychic signatures Adrian detected, Elizabeth?" Magneto asked, seeking Psylocke's opinion.

"They must not be normal marine beings, since the psychic signatures of these are simple and not as complex as that of the human being, but Adrian detected a singularity, so it must not be a normal problem" Psylocke calmly answered.

"I see, then take Maria and verify that it is those creatures, after all she has a better perception" Magneto ordered.

Psylocke nodded and touched Maria's shoulder, they disappeared leaving the place.

Watching them go, Magneto also ordered that recon Sentinels be sent to help them if things get rough.

Psylocke and Maria arrived and met Adrian, who was already waiting for them.

"Adrian, which way are they?" Maria asked without beating around the bush.

Psylocke approved her attitude.

"Two kilometers from our position, out to sea. They are far away so I can barely detect them and for some reason they have stopped there and are not moving any further" Adrian calmly answered.

Psylocke frowns, it's as if they are waiting for the right moment or someone's order, that tells her that the situation is not normal.

Maria looks in front of her and concentrates, her psychic abilities of perception are better than Adrián's and she was able to locate those psychic signatures and also have an image of who they belonged to.

She is surprised by what she sees and her expression becomes very serious.

"What did you see, Maria?" Psylocke asked her, noticing the young woman's expression change.

"They are a large number of lizard-like creatures with the largest reaching ten meters in length" Maria answered with a deep tone of voice.

Listening to Maria's description, Psylocke sinks into her thoughts, she has never seen that kind of creature.

Apparently, this is not as simple as it seems.

"Their psychic signatures are strange, especially the larger ones and it should be possible to mind control them, although at this distance it's a bit difficult for me" Maria added, massaging her temple as she tried to control them.

Psylocke's eyes light up and she disappears, seconds later she reappears but accompanied by Emma who is a bit confused.

"What do you want me to do Betsy, having brought me to the coast?" Emma asked, looking around.

"A situation has occurred, two kilometers from here there are some lizard-like sea creatures that are prowling around and some of them seem to be intelligent. Maria tried to control them but due to the distance it was a bit difficult so I want you to try and if you make it, find out what their purpose is for being here" Psylocke quickly answered Emma's question.

Emma frowns, as even if an animal is intelligent, it would be difficult to control it unless its mental function is as developed as that of intelligent humans or aliens, but Maria having tried and almost succeeding told her that it can work.

"I'll try" Emma said and closed her eyes to activate her powers, ever since she became pregnant her psychic powers had increased to frightening levels that even the Phoenix said she had become someone capable of being her host. With her powers, she instantly sensed psychic signatures coming from the sea two kilometers from where she was.

She quickly detected the larger psychic signature and to her surprise, it was easy to get into its mind.

But what she saw and learned from the mind of that creature surprised her.

Humanoid-looking beings called Deviants.

A place called Lemuria, which is the home of these beings.

And these lizard-like creatures are called Mutates. They are the servants and slaves of the Deviants, who consider them God's punishment.

It seems that they came with the intention of attacking Genosha under the orders of the Deviants.

Opening her eyes, Emma deactivated her powers and began to explain what she saw.

The face of those present changed upon realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"Tell Magneto about this so he can prepare for the fight, we don't know when they'll try to attack us, so we'll be the first to strike" Emma said to Psylocke, who nodded and communicated with Magneto.

Magneto, who was at the base of operations, was shocked to hear Psylocke's information.

He quickly began giving orders for his soldiers to prepare and also dispatched a group of Sentinels for combat.

At that moment, a portal opened and a confused Riri appeared.

This surprised Magneto since he knows that this girl went with Alex to a meeting with the United Nations.

"What are you doing here, child?" Magneto asked her.

"There was a problem in the United Nations, that robot called Ultron started an attack and Alex asked us to come back, but he stayed with Jean, Laura and Mantis to solve the problem" Riri answered as she looked around her.

Magneto frowns and with Riri's information, he realizes that the appearance of these creatures was not a coincidence.

"What is happening here, that everyone is very active?" Riri asked.

A moment ago, Riri and the others had just returned from New York to her lab and she came to the base to report their arrival but realized something was up.

Magneto quickly told her what was going on.

Riri is surprised but her expression turns serious.

"Well, then we must prepare ourselves. Alex and Irene told us that something like this could happen, so we must remain calm and destroy our enemies" Riri said.

Magneto agreed.

He was not the same as before, his arrogance was always his weakness, now he knows that he should not underestimate his enemies.

And he knows it well just by seeing this girl in front of him.

Riri is a human with no super abilities, but her genius alone makes her terrifying.

And for that, although he never expresses it, he has begun to respect those kinds of people.

And just then, Genosha's emergency alarm sounded.

Magneto was informed that these creatures began to move towards Genosha at great speed.

Another battle was about to begin.
