And now let's begin...
X-Men: Anti-matter
Chapter one: New Arrivals
Two people walk down an alleyway. One was a young boy. He looked to be about eight years old. The other was a young man, who looked to be about sixteen. The older boy had long black hair that looked to be tinted red. He wore a black shirt and black jeans, and had sunglasses over his eyes. The young boy next to him had a blue shirt on and black pants. The younger boy had black hair and blue eyes. "Hey, Ken, where are we going?" asked the young boy.
"Not sure, Logan," answered the older boy, Ken.
"Can we get some food? I'm really hungry," said Logan.
"Sorry kid, we spent all the money we had saved up. It'll probably be a few days before we can--" Ken stopped talking when he heard a large explosion. A large mechanical head fell in front of them. "Well now, don't see that everyday." They heard someone scream. "C'mon Logan, someone needs help!" The two ran to the end of the ally. They saw a group of people fighting a large red and black robot, the body of a second one on the ground. Among the group was a young man with brown hair and a red visor, a young woman with red hair, a young woman with brown hair, who was knocked to the ground, and a young man with brown hair and red on black eyes. The man with the red and black eyes threw cards at the robot. The cards exploded upon impact, but didn't even leave a scratch. The woman with red hair used telekinesis to throw ruble at the robot, knocking it backward. The other man followed up by shooting a crimson blast from his visor at the robot. The robot turned its head and spotted Ken and Logan.
It spoke in a mechanical voice, "Mutant signature confirmed…" Its chest opened up and it shot missiles at Ken.
"Look out!" exclaimed the red headed woman. Ken's hands became covered in black energy. Ken lifted his hand and the missiles disappeared. The group looked at Ken in disbelief. Ken walked up to the robot.
"So you're one of those Sentinels, huh? You don't seem so tough…" The Sentinel lifted its massive fist and swung at Ken. Ken lifted both his hands as black energy covered them. Behind his glasses you could tell his eyes were glowing as well. The Sentinel stopped in its tracks and vanished into thin air.
"What did you do?" asked the man with the visor.
"I changed its form of matter from solid to gas, never did something that big before though." Ken fell to his knees.
"Are you alright, Ken?" asked Logan.
"Yeah kid, I'm fine. Just a little tired."
"Why don't you come with us?" asked the brown haired girl.
"I don't want to be any trouble…" began Ken.
"What trouble mon ami?" said the red and black eyed man with a Cajun accent. "You helped us, so now we'll help you."
Logan whispered to Ken, "Let's take them up on the offer."
"You sure, otouto-chan (little brother)?" asked Ken.
"Yeah."
Ken looked at the group. "Sure, we'll come with you." They walked and soon came upon a very large jet plane. Logan was in awe.
"Wow!" exclaimed the child.
'Professor Xavier, we're heading home, but we have two more coming with us,' the red headed woman telepathically communicated.
'I know, Jean. Cerebro has just picked one of them up. I have actually seen this power signature before. Tell me, what is he capable of?' asked Xavier.
'He beat a Sentinel on his own,' replied Jean.
'… I would like to meet him,' said Xavier.
Ken, Logan and the others got onto the plane. After a few minutes they took off. The man with brown hair spoke, "Welcome to the Blackbird. My name is Scott Summers, aka Cyclops. This is Jean Grey…" he motioned to the woman with red hair. "This is Remy LeBeau, aka Gambit" he pointed to the man with red and black eyes. "And this is Kitty Pryde, aka Shadowcat."
"It's nice to meet you," said Kitty, blushing slightly.
'Smooth, Kitty. Very smooth…' said Jean, telepathically.
"Konnichiwa. My name is Ken Kazama. And this is my little brother, Logan," said Ken. Everyone looked stunned. "Ano…is something wrong?"
"This kid…his name is Logan?" Kitty asked.
"Yup!" Logan smiled widely.
Scott shook his head and muttered, "This is gonna be interesting…"
They soon arrived at a large mansion. Logan looked out the window, "Wow! That place is huge!" The Blackbird landed in a large hanger. They were met by an African-American woman with long white hair. She was pushing a bald man in a wheelchair.
"Hello," greeted the bald man. "My name is Charles Xavier, and the woman standing behind me is Ororo Munroe, aka Storm."
"It's a pleasure to meet you," said Ororo.
"It's nice to meet you too, my name is Ken Kazama, and this is my little brother, Logan."
"Hi!" said Logan.
A muscular man walked into the room. He had jet-black hair. "Hey Prof., it's time for Cajun's run in the Danger Room."
"Ah, Logan I'd like for you to meet…" began Professor Xavier.
"Ken Kazama," finished the man. "It sure has been a while squirt."
"It's been three years, old man," replied Ken with a smirk.
"You two know each other?" asked Scott.
"You could say that," said Ken. Remy walked up to Logan (Wolverine).
"Let's get to work, Logan," said Remy.
"See ya around kid" said Logan as he walked off.
Kitty walked up to the professor. "Professor is it okay if I show Ken and Logan around?" asked Kitty.
"Of course Kitty. Logan, Ken, please make yourselves at home."
"Arigato, Xavier-sama" said Ken as he bowed politely.
"Thank you!" said Logan, happily.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They were in a large room. There were several teenagers watching TV. Over at a table a two people were playing cards.
"I summon Vorse Raider in attack position!" announced a boy with short red hair and wearing horn-rimmed glasses. He also wore a red jacket over a black shirt and matching black pants. He was playing against a boy who had dark blue fur and pointy ears. The first boy slapped down a card from his hand and then the image of the card came to life to form a miniature scale figure of the monster depicted. "Also, I play Heavy Storm! Say bye bye to your Trap and Spell cards, Kurt!"
"Mein Gott!" Kurt shouted as strong wind whipped his facedown Spell and Traps into the Graveyard. "Hey, but at least I still have my Summon Skull out on the field, Dean," Kurt smirked back.
"Not anymore when I equip this to my monster," the red haired boy, Dean, said. "It's United We Stand and it gives my monster an 800 attack point boost!" Dean's Vorse Raider glowed and grew in power. "But, my plan is different. I use the Spell Card Brain Control to take control of your Summon Skull and attack you directly with both monsters!" The Summon Skull moved over to Dean's side when a brain with arms appeared and pulled it over and then Kurt got creamed by the two miniature Duel Monsters!"
"Darn it! And I got strong cards too!" Kurt grumbled.
"Kurt, it's not how strong your cards are, its how you play them," Dean chuckled, "Good game, too. You nearly had me there." He then noticed Kitty, Ken and Logan. "Oh, hey, Kitty."
"Hey, Dean" said Kitty. "Nice try, Kurt" said Kitty to her furry blue friend. "Dean, Kurt, I'd like you to meet Ken and Logan."
"Hey," said Ken with a wave.
"Hi," said Logan. Logan looked at Kurt curiously. "Are your ears real?" he asked innocently. Kurt was shocked by this question. Ken softly punched Logan on the top of the head.
"Don't ask stupid questions!" exclaimed Ken. He turned to Kurt. "Gomen nasai, his social skills need work."
"Mine need work! You're the one who just punched a child in the head!" argued Logan.
"You want to make something of it?!" said Ken as the two glared at each other.
"Easy there, squirt," said a voice coming from behind them. They turned to see Logan (Wolverine).
"You wanna try me old man?" asked Ken. Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and stared at Ken in shock. No one ever talked to Wolverine like that. Logan (Wolverine) and Ken started laughing.
Logan stopped laughing. "The Prof. wants to see you in the library."
"Sure," said Ken. He turned to Kitty. "Kitty-san, could you please continue to show Logan around while I go talk to Xavier-sama?"
"Sure," said Kitty. She turned to the young Logan. "Logan, would you like to go have some lunch?"
"Yeah!" exclaimed the young Logan excitedly. Ken and Logan (Wolverine) left.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ken walked into the library where he saw Professor Xavier and Jean. "Welcome Ken, please have a seat." Ken sat down in the chair next to him. "As you have noticed you have unique abilities. Jean tells me you have the ability to change the phase of matter. Care to give me a demonstration?"
"Why not…?" Ken noticed an empty water bottle on the table near him. He picked it up and held it. "As you no doubt know, Xavier-sama, there are three basic phases of matter; solid, liquid, and gas. Right now this bottle is in the solid phase, while inside it holds hydrogen and oxygen gases. Now by speeding up the hydrogen and oxygen particles, I cause collisions. These collisions cause reactions, creating water particles. Then by combining these particles through weak chemical bonds water begins to form…" Sure enough the empty bottle became filled with liquid water. "Then by removing those same bonds and once again increasing the speed, the liquid slowly evaporates and returns to its gaseous state." The water slowly disappeared. "Now, I'll turn the gas into water again." The bottle filled with water once again. "Then by slowing down the particles, the temperature decreases, and soon the water freezes." The water in the bottle then froze over. Ken set the ice filled bottle back down on the table.
"Wow, I am surprised at the level of control you have over ability," said Jean.
"Well, I've had these abilities since I was a kid," said Ken.
"Ken, I would like to extend to you an invitation to live here at the institute. I created this school to be a safe haven for people like you, people with an active X-gene. Here you can gain even more control over your ability. You don't have to answer right away. I will give you time to think."
"If I join, what about my otouto-chan?" asked Ken.
"Your what?" asked Jean.
"Gomen, it means little brother. What about him? If I stay, he has to stay too" said Ken.
Jean and Xavier looked at each other. "If you choose to stay, then he may stay as well," answered Professor Xavier.
"Then I choose to stay. Logan could use some other people to be with. And I believe that your institute will be a good influence on him."
"That is good to hear. Jean, please show Ken to his room," said Xavier.
Ken and Jean walked to his room. Ken and Jean arrived. In the room they saw Remy lying down on his bed. "Bonjour, mon ami" greeted Remy, shuffling his cards.
"You already know Remy. He'll be your roommate while you're living here," explained Jean.
"Fine by me," said Ken.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The young Logan was eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that Kitty had made. "So Logan, what's Ken like?" asked Kitty.
"He's great!" exclaimed Logan happily. "He found me after my parents abandoned me and took me with him. He always protects me. Even though we argue a lot he's my big brother!"
"You really like him don't you?"
"Yup!" said the child. Ken walked into the kitchen.
"Hey little man, what do you think of this place?" asked Ken.
"It's great! The people here are really nice, especially Kitty!" said the young Logan happily. Kitty giggled at the little boy.
"Glad to hear it, because this is our new home," said Ken.
"Yay!" said Logan with a giant grin on his face. A girl with light brown hair with two white streaks that parted in front of her face walked in.
"Hi Rogue" said Kitty.
"Hi, Kitty, can I talk to you for a second?" asked Rouge.
"Sure" said Kitty.
The two walked out of the room. Ken grabbed the other half of young Logan's sandwich. "Hey! That's mine!" exclaimed the young boy.
"Yeah, well I'm bigger than you, so I need more food than you do squirt" said Ken as he took a bite out of the sandwich.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rogue and Kitty were talking. "You like him," said Rouge with a smirk.
Kitty blushed and exclaimed, "I do not!"
"Kitty, I've been your roommate for over a year now. I know how you act. And when you look at Ken you have the same look in your eyes as you did when you dated Lance. Speaking of which, how do you think he would react to this?"
"I don't care! Lance was a jerk and I'm glad I dumped him."
"I still say you like Ken" teased Rouge.
"Shut up!" said Kitty.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night…
It was almost one in the morning and everyone was asleep, well almost everyone. Ken sat alone in the common room flipping through channels on the television. He landed on the channel of a popular televangelist, Reverend William Stryker.
"Mutants are the Devil's unholy spawn! The horrible abominations unto the Lord should be wiped out!" the crowd cheered in agreement.
Ken changed the channel. "Nut job," muttered Ken.
"Ken? What are you doing up so late?" asked a voice. Ken turned to see Kitty phasing through the wall.
"Nothing really, I just couldn't fall asleep. What about you?" asked Ken.
"Just came down to grab something to drink" said Kitty. She walked into the kitchen and came back with two glasses of orange juice. She handed one to Ken.
"Arigato" said Ken, taking the glass. Kitty sat down next to him
"So why couldn't you fall asleep?" asked Kitty.
"Just nightmares. I've had them since…" Ken hesitated, "Well for a while now."
"Oh… So I hear the Professor has you starting school tomorrow," said Kitty, changing the subject.
"Hai. It's been a while since I've gone to school… actually I don't even remember the last time I went to school" said Ken with a laugh. Kitty laughed with him.
'Oh my God! I think Rogue was right! I think I do have a crush on him!' thought Kitty.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day at school…
Kitty was getting books from her locker. Someone came up from behind her and pushed her to the ground. "Mutie freak! Get the hell out of our school!" exclaimed the guy who pushed her. This was Kit Taylor. He took over Duncan's job as head jock. He was the captain of the football team and the second biggest mutant hater in the entire school, the first being Principal Kelly. Next to him was his cousin Frank Taylor. Ken then showed up next to Kitty.
"Back off," he warned, helping Kitty up.
"Is that a threat?" asked Kit. "Are you a mutie like her?"
Ken got right into his face. "It's not a threat… Now, me telling you that if you don't back off I'll solidify all the oxygen in your lungs… that is a threat," said Ken. Kit glared at Ken.
"Let's go, Frank," said Kit as he turned to leave. "We won't forget this you freak!"
"Jerk," muttered Kitty.
"Baka," muttered Ken. "Daijoubu desu ka, Kitty-san?"
"Huh?" asked Kitty.
"It means, are you alright," explained Ken.
"Oh, yeah I'm fine" said Kitty. She picked up her books and blushed slightly. "I gotta get going, Ken. I'll see you later!" Kitty then ran off.
"Later!" said Ken.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A man was watching the school. He had a black ski-mask over his head. He wore camouflage pants and a black shirt, a bullet-proof vest over the shirt. He wore a leather jacket over the vest. He also had wristbands on. He had a twin pistols attached to his side, as well as a large knife above one of the pistols. He seemed to have a rocket launcher attached to his back. He placed his wrist next to his mouth and spoke:
"This is Agent Zero, targets have been confirmed."
A voice spoke back to him through his wrist communicator, "Agent Zero, proceed as planned. Deadly force is allowed on all who try to hinder your attack and escape."
"Confirmed, Agent Zero out." Agent Zero stood up and drew out the rocket launcher and aimed at a school wall. "Boom…" A rocket fired at the school.
