X-23

"I must go now, destiny is calling my name. It was...fun while it lasted, Talon." She looked at him a moment and sighed. I’m invisible aren’t I” she thought to herself. If there was any thing she hated it was never being noticed. She had spent what felt like a life time in Talon never thought of never noticed it was annoying still she was a t least seen and that was good………for now. She looked over to Talon who seemed perplexed though X23 could not see what was so wrong. “Simple version you’ve had a demonic entity living with in you like a host, in that time you were partly possessed but now due to temporal shifts in time space and supernatural plains the demonic entity which lived with in you separated and is now a single being.”  Simple logic was it not. Though the minds of humans were easily overwhelmed with these things.

She then could see on coming pursuers who most likely wished to stop Hyperion in his tracks and some how stop him from detonating near New Oa. It was a foolish attempt for if he would not detonate here then where would he? Did they think that he wanted to die? Did he want to die? She did not know all she knew was that this mission needed to succeed some how and some way.  She then looked over to him as he spoke, "I cannot have someone like you constantly pursuing me if I am to successfully complete my final mission, Blue Lantern.” So bold and worthy. His last mission he had accepted his death as gain. For his mission was more important that himself. A self less act if you were to look at the man.  “Therefore the only logical course of action in this particular matter is to have both you and your Green Lantern ally exterminated."

She could see the logic in that. The death of few for the success of the mission. Mission over matter. It was a strange thing even before Talon she had a mission but now she was finding it hard to complete it. He was going to be dead in a few hours and she was to protect him? Was the council insane! Only moments after she had freed herself from Talon she had a mission and did not understand. And is appeared as her brother Isaac would be no help to her at this time. He was Talons guardian and no longer her brother. He cared for Talon more that he ever did for her and that enraged her even more. He then was about to unleash a mighty blast but was halted when a violet colored beam. At first she thought it was Talon but soon saw that Talon did not commence in the action.

The beam hit Hyperion and blasted him a few miles away from the battle. She remained and did not engage with the being. It appeared as another of Talon’s little acquaintances. She could see the battle raging and many people consumed by single battles between each other. The treat was minim as to being attacked. As she scanned the area she could see that Talon had engaged with a ghost of her past. Or one of the many skeletons in her closets. Which ever one Talons mind was absorbed as was every one else’s in what they were doing. Leaving her to do as she whished. Cautiously she approached Hyperion and watched as she communicated with his ring she was unable to get it all but she got the last parts. "Open a Stargate Aperture and get me to Earth as fast as possible. Also...open a comlink to Warsman and Marcus Sprectre."

She smiled slyly. Her telepathy was limited but she could pic up sub space messages. But before she could hear that the ring said  "Setting course for Sector 2814. Course set. Now proceeding to scan space for suitable apertures. A Shi'ar-made Stargate Aperture has been located. Now proceeding to build a dimensional bridge to Earth, this will take a moment...Dimensional Bridge has been established, the Stargate Aperture has been activated and a path to Earth is now open. Now proceeding to establish a comlink to subjects: Warsman and Marcus Spectre. Comlink has been established." She remained in distance from Hyperion but listened in any way.

"Good. Warsman! Marcus! I've been thinking...why don't you go to New Oa and destroy it yourselves? Surely you are both fully capable of doing something like that on your own, am I right?” X23 scoffed in the presumptions of this Kryptonion. “Yes let the fools handle the war it will be over swiftly in ashes” but he continued “ Yes...yes I think I am. As for me...I am no longer going to be your pawn.” She admired his strength even a Red Lantern he had sanity and like her did not get ordered around. For if any one was to ask her to do something even the Great fool Warsman she would not heed his wishes. “I am going to Earth. If I am going to die exploding with enough force to take out New Oa and The Guardians of The Universe in one shot as Marcus suggests...then I want to be at home when I do it. Oh and Warsman? I'll see you in Hell after Andferne is done bashing your skull in. Hyperion out."

Smiling she watched as he opened a gate. She did not follow him only waited till he was fully gone and sighed. “As a worrier he dies with out fear, not even the great Phoenixes of my time retained such amount of dignity and courage.” Though X23 as evil she had a moral standard and even as a villain she could think good of others. Hyperion was strange he was no fool yet his shadow remained and left a mark on X-23 one which she never wanted. Could this have been the reason that the council so bid her to watch him till death. Was she to let him die but at least be near and watch helplessly. What ever the reason for their actions her wish was to obey the council and if they wanted her to be with him until death then she would comply to their wishes till death. “till dead do you part” she said to herself and soon looked at her demonic appearing hand.  “Well Shadow teleport me to the location of the Kryptonion Hyperion”.

With that X23 was consumed with darkness and soon disappeared from the battle lines. She found herself in a busy city with lost of light. “Annoying places I will be relived to be rid of this reality and back to my own.” She murmured. After walking she soon found him. It was strange he seemed so at peace and so calm it was scarcely seen at the verge of death. She approached him. Her midnight eyes looking at his figure. Her hair was flung behind her but because of the shadow it now had crimson highlight. She watched him that moment. Content with her mission and her duty happy. But to much time had passed he knew not who she was though she knew him well. It was a different time and a different place but yet she had to ask, he would be dead soon no matter what he was going to die there was no way of stopping that,  no matter weather he remembered her or not she neded to know “Hyperion” she began “….do you love me?”

"You are to stay behind, you are to follow under Hyperion’s orders who follows under my orders, You are also to stay out of my way" she could not help but smile in amusement like she was going to listen to a man who could not hold his temper. She only asked fro the possibility that he would say yes but he said no and she would not listen to him. He then pointed behind Hyperion to a place of space no doubt where she was suppose to be. In that instant she made eye contact with the being know as King Hyperion. It was quick and she soon looked away. "We have a new plan. Ring analyze King Hyperions current condition"

"Impact in three hours"

"Just as I thought. Warsman betrayed you...you're going to explode in three hours, approximately how long it'll take to get to New Oa. Meaning we fight like hell, rush through battle and get you to the Guardians..." “There is no honor among thieves” X23 thought. She could have predicted this but why him. Why did she have to predict any thing. He was going to die three hours the clock was ticking. She then looked at him. She could not see fear in his eyes he accepted his fate it was strange he was going to die and he did not care. Even still she was enraged at how Warsman could do this but did not show it. “That bastared” she growled.

"I know it's a little stressful with you gonna die and all. But lets make the best of this okay? AND GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASSES AND FIGHT DAMNIT FIGHT" She wanted to kill him and she would have if there was not much more important things to do that to argue with fools. She could feel emotion and could not imagine what Hyperion was going through.  A little. That man how could he possibly understand what Hyperion was going through stressful it was much more than that. A man realized that he would die  and now what was he just to take his fate and completely a mission. X23 was about to talk to him but he soon flew off with great speed. Reluctantly she flew after him.

As she did she could see him engage in battle with a green Lantern. “Why council do you torture me” she whispered to herself. “You give me a man that is about to die to protect!” she shook her head and sighed. But then from behind she was shot by a blast of yellow power. Quickly regaining her strength from the attack she got her momentum and stared at the Yellow Lantern. This was not a good time for her she needed to stay close to Hyperion. The clock was ticing and he would be dead soon she needed to talk to him one last time. Her ring bruned brightly in her hand. The red glow surrounded her and she unleashed a powerful blast from her hand. The energy ripped right through the Lantern and killed him instantly along with any behind him. As she blood floated in space and stained her face. With her hand she wiped it and continued after him.

swiftly maneuvered  through the blast of energy and light doing every thing in her power to get there as fast as possible. Her clothes were torn and her hands singed from the blast that she barely missed. Sweat ran down her face and she took in gasps of breath. But soon she sensed some one. She came to a halt and did not mover. “Her” she said and soon looked yonder past the battled to a girl shining bright Violet. X23 smiled and soon changed target toward her. Exhausted X23 shouted “Sister”. X23 knew that what she was doing had little hope of success yet she needed to “Hyperion’s on a coerce to New Oa he will detonate very shortly and kill all in the area!”  She could see the shock on her sisters face “What why?” There was no time for this she needed to get the the point and though it pained her she answered “You need…to help him”. X23 looked away. Hyperion could still be seen “Why!?” Talon shouted. X23 sighed and then repeated herself. “You need to save him!!!”.  It was strange a person that she should have been bent on killing she was not asking for help from. “Where is he”  She then pointed behind her “Why don’t you stop him”  “I can not” that was all she said then flew off into the blackness of space.

After she was far enough she stopped and  looked toward the battle. She could not understand no one could what needed to take place. His death was imminent yet she did not want him to die. He was a good man long ago he was she knew that. He could of changed yet it was to late. “Can you predict the future?” X23 turned and saw Isaac in the mist of all the battle he had made his way to her. “Oh you.” She said turning her attention back to Hyperion. “Why do you put so much effort into this man.” He said with a smile. “You don’t understand why would they do this to me!?” He shrugged and looked at her “Maybe not for him but for you.” She then looked at him confused “What?” “Maybe not to help him but you”. X23 clenched her fist tightly and pointed it at him. “Get out of my head!” she demanded. X23 knew Isaac was filing her mind with lies and she wanted him out. “I want to help  you” “Get out!!” .

“No” he said. This was the only way he could talk to her. He was holding back her rage only for a moment to talk to her to make her see something that with her rage filled mind could not. “Why?!” “every thing is for a purpose some time you know the purpose other times you do not yet you still do it.” She looked away her black eyes changed to their emerald green for a moment. Isaac could see he was reaching her. X23 was not a monster just misunderstood yet she did have great evil bounded in her heart.  “I don’t know what to do” she said to him.  “Do what you think is right….I can say nothing else.” With that Isaac disappeared leaving X23 to think through what he said. She had temporary sanity and humanity and she was going to use it.

She could see far off that Talon had engaged with Hyperion gladly there was no battle but Talon could never say what X23 wanted her to. She looked at her red ring glowing brightly and swallowed. She was about to make a big choice one she did not want to make but either way she was going to speak to him. Raising both hands to her chest she quickly pulled them away causing her to fly off with great speed. Her hands were outstretched so that she could get to him as fast as possible. She could see others that were planning to stop him but how. He was going to explode whether he wanted to or not how could they stop him. She slowed her speed as she approached Hyperion and Talon and shouted. “hold on!”

She knew that Talon would not attack her not yet she was still to shocked at her reaction and so was X23 at her own. “King Hyperion aka Vincent” she said coming to a halt. “I’m sorry that you have to die I don’t want you to I never would have wanted you to. But I um am sorry, and if I knew a way to stop it I would! With all the power that I posses it’s stupid that I don’t know how to stop it and I’m dreadfully sorry.” She wiped away the tears from her eyes and stared at him and said again. “I’m sorry”.

Posted, and no one can see the Future Andy

She could see the plan unfolding in its right and manner. It was a good plan bu tall good plans have cracks in them. Even the ones that you least suspect. This was one of them. Ther battle had soon began many fell. The Red, Green and Yellow Lanterns all seemed at each other’s throats tearing at them especially the Red. Like ravaging beasts they took any and all opportunities to bring downfall to the other teams.  She watched in intrigue as it all unfolded. Though no one might of thought of after the war. For each action shall bear a consequence some great and some greater. Though their minds were consumed by war though the Green and Blue Lanterns were interesting to her. They fought to win for they knew what would happen if they did not.

X23 felt like getting involved like fighting someone or thing. Though she did not know how these things works. Was she to ask or just leap in with what do these humans say ”Guns a Blazing”. It was an interesting thought though she scenes that the change in the battle was immanent. Waksman’s plan was to good to perfect and that would be its downfall. Though she doubts that he would even have thought that far. Pride was something that all these villains had in great quantities. Her black locks floated aimlessly in the non gravitational plain know as space. Though bodies also did the same. Countless dead corpses.

She study them carefully. Some had no eyes others their mussel was leaking out of their thighs. Yellow puss surrounded some of the wounds. The hand and arms were stretched out and floating. If some one was from afar they would possibly mistake this for a doll. Their eyes stared blankly out at the nothingness that seemed to consume their body. Blood leaked out of their mouths that had remained open for the last cry of pain. Some of the dead were elderly yet some were younger. Boys she could call them. But all dead every last one of them. Space had become a grave yard that welcomed the dead and the lost.

Her black eyes stared at the flashes of light that was coming from New Oa. It was interesting to see the rebirth of the planed Mogo. She watched as its surface was consumed with a bright light. That from which was the hero Nano doing. A great act that was and for him to do it alone was even better. A valiant man he was to commit such an act and to change the tide of battle so quickly. She then turned her sights to Darkchild. Interesting not a fool yet close. But did she not call all villains fools and was that not a compliment. He was as interesting person bearing the bearing the ring of fear and leader of the hosts. He had already picked out some one to face for no doubt the Green Lantern Paragon would not be facing him unless he had something he wanted.

Yes Paragon a hero a strong Green Lantern the world desired more of these. Though some fought for the rush of battle others for the purpose and the future and other things. She sighed reluctantly and looked at hr hand with a devilish smile. “You bear a ring and you bear a responsibility do you not” she said to herself. The dawn of war had broken yet there were some that were soon to arrive some that in time would die just like the others. She could see a being know as The Drifter also a Red Lantern it appeared as if he had a plan. “Oh good more fools to lead us to destruction.” Yet she knew what he said and would intervene and speak to a mortal only for a moment. "I am headed to New Oa's Power Battery. King Hyperion, follow me if you want to live to see the drums of war beat once again." So with speed she flew down toward them both doing her best not to bother and look at Hyperion she asked the one known as the Drifter before he jetted off. “May I inquire if I may embark with you on this expedition of endeavoring to regain the tied of battle to our favor?”
