Chapter 10 - The Reaping

-Location: Forest's Of Sri Lanka- 

-Date: Sept 18th, 2003- 

-POV: Narrator- 

Outside in the bloodied fortress of Suvik Senyaka, Selene and the rest of her inner Circle stood in looked at the carnage. 

Selene herself show no emotion. She just walked inside and went to look for Suvik. 

Once inside, she could see more dead bodies. This didn't bother her, as she's been alive for thousands of years. 

She's seen the worst of humanity and this didn't even scratch the surface. 

She made her way upstairs and seen the message that was left on the wall. She then seen the dust particles all around the room. 

Selene waved her hand and a projection of Suvik appeared. She then watched the relay of what happened. It showed Suvik getting tossed against a wall, and him getting his next snapped. 

It then showed him getting his chest caved in by a shadowy figure. Selene then watched as the figure drew A.F.O. On the wall. 

The projection dropped and she stared at the message. 

"So it was you? Tomura Shigaraki, you've just ended your pitiful existence. BLINK?!" Yelled Selene. 

Blink immediately appeared using her portal. 

"Yes lady Selene?" Asked Blink. 

"Where is our illustrious White King?" Asked Selene. 

"Last time I checked on him, he was with Emma. But my spies say he's in the Amazon Rain Forest." Said Blink. 

"Why the hell is he there?" Asked Selene. 

"I'm not sure. I lost contact with the spies the moment they followed him to the Amazon." Said Blink. 

"Fine, take me to the Amazon immediately. He's obviously baiting me." Said Selene. 

"At once." Said Blink. 

A pink portal opened up and more opened outside where the others were. They all walked through and seen that they were in the Amazon. 

-Location: Amazon Rain Forest- 

Selene and her group exist the portals. Before their eyes was a man standing over the dead bodies of Blinks spies. 

Tomura stood in wait as his eyes locked into Selene. They both stared at each other and analyzed their positions. 

"So you've been onto me for a while I assume?" Asked Selene. 

"From the very beginning. Ever since we met the other day, I've always felt eyes on me. I pretended to be oblivious because i wanted to see what you would do. But you didn't budge. So I used the poor guy as bait." Said Tomura. 

"He's of no concern to me. He was nothing more than a tool." Said Selene. 

The rest of her group paused and looked at Selene. Blink sighed but didn't move. 

"Poor Selene, the old witch can't trust people." Said Tomura. 

"Old, yes I'am old. So do yourself a favor and start speaking to me with some respect, young man." Said Selene. 

"Wow, I'm shivering in my boots." Said Tomura with a slight smile. 

"Anyway, me and you are going to fight. One of use will die, or both of us will survive. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Anyway." Said Tomura. 

Tomura pulled Selene towards him with an immense gravitational force. He used Telekinesis to pull her. Which surprised her. 

Tomura immediately coated his body in black lightning, and when she was right before him, he punched her in her gut. 

She was sent flying through the forest. Before Tomura went off, he knocked the other out in a quick burst of speed. 

He then jumped into the air and seen that Selene had recovered. She was floating in the air and wall of shadows and darkness came crashing down on Tomura. 

Thankfully, he protected himself with a telekinetic shield. 

"You have some nerve punching me. I will send you to hell myself." Said Selene. 

She summoned a torrent of flames and shot them at Tomura. 

But he was too fast and appeared next to her instantly and immediately assaulted her with a barrage of lightning infused punches. 

Selene blocked them with a shield and summoned more flames to push Tomura back. 

But he did let up. 

His skin started to blister and the muscles were showing due to the intensity of the heat. 

Selene then placed her hand on Tomura's chest and hit him with a blast of telekinetic force. 

BOOOOOOOMMM! 

Tomura skipped across the ground. But he stood up unharmed. He had absorbed the force of the blast, but used it to launch himself backwards in order to created some distance. 

But Selene was on his tail. But with the stored up energy he absorbed, he flew towards Selene and added Heavy payload, Air Cannon, Black Lightning, and Repulsive Ring to his right arm. 

His fist connected with Selene's abdomen and he released all of the built up energy. 

BOOOOOOOOOMMMM! 

Selene was blasted into the air with a chunk of his stomach missing. 

But her superior regeneration kicked in and saved her. 

Right before the wound closed, Tomura shot a bolt of lightning right in the same area.

Which in turn, created a weak spot. Thanks to his search quirk, he was able to find a potential weak spot. 

Selene fell to the ground, but cushioned herself with telekinesis. Tomura's fist was soon in her face as he punched her with immense force. 

He kept wailing on her until she couldn't fight back. But she wasn't finished. 

"THATS ENOUGH!!!!" yelled Selene as she released a burst of Telekinetic force. 

But Tomura absorbed it, and redirected back to Selene in the form of a punch. 

While this entire fight was going on, the more power that was used by Selene, the older she looked. 

This was due to the fact that Tomura was fighting her relentlessly. And she was using her regeneration, sorcery, and other powers without stop. 

The life force she absorbed over the years was quickly leaving her. 

Currently, she had wrinkles and some grey streaks of hair. This was Tomura's goal. To weaken her and the threaten her with death. 

She would most likely come back to life care he "killed" her. As she is an external and they can only be killed by their own kind. 

Tomura coated his hand in lightning and his fingers turned black and red. This was one of his quirks, Rivet stab. 

[Black Lightning: Chidori!] 

The cry of one thousand birds was heard. Selene used all of her power and used a shield to block it. 

But it was all for naught. 

SHINK! 

BOOOOOOOOOOOM! 

Tomura's arm pierced through her body. She now looked like an old decrepit woman. Her hair was pure white and her skin was baggy and wrinkly. 

Tomura took out his arm and she fell to the ground. Her passive regen was keeping her alive. 

But she was barely holding on. 

Tomura kneeled before her body and placed his hand on her arm. He began dragging his finger down her arm, and it started to crack with decaying flesh. 

She couldn't scream but her eyes were wet from the tears flowing. 

"Now, Life? Or death?" Asked Tomura as he stopped. 

"Y-you imbecile! I will kill you when I revive." Said Selene. 

"Hmm, I knew you'd say something like that. That's why I decided I'd leave you alive. Keep you in a cage, let you barely hang onto life. I'm sure throughout your long life, you've done worse." Said Tomura. 

Selene shut right up. 

She may be immortal, but she wasn't invulnerable. Containment was one of the ways to keep her weakened. 

Tomura placed his hand over Selene's wrinkled face. Her eyes widened in shocked as she knew what he was going to do. 

"You have a few choices. One, you will be locked up for a very long time. Two, you will join me as my subordinate and watch the new era I usher in. And three, you will be locked up for all of eternity. There's a very old Roman settlement here that I'm sure you're familiar with." Said Tomura. 

Selene immediately knew what he was talking about. She ultimately didn't want to be imprisoned, so she raised her hand and showed two fingers. 

"Good, but if you betray me, I'll find and control one of your external family members and kill you permanently." Said Tomura. 

He stood up and sent a message to Azazel telepathically. 

BAMF! 

Azazel appeared and took him and Selene aways. Earlier, he had taken the rest of Selene's inner circle to the Hellfire mansion in New York City. 

That's where they're at now. 

-Location: Hellfire Mansion, NYC- 

Tomura went to his room in the mansion and took a shower. 

Each inner circle member had a room in the mansion. Each room had their position on them, and had their own wing to themselves. 

Tomura finished his shower and put on an all white suit. He tied his hair into a bun and walked out of his room. 

He went to the main meeting room and seen Emma and Selene giving each other the death stare. 

Selene had rejuvenated herself. Tomura suspected she took some random fodder walking around the mansion and took his or her life force. 

"Now ladies, please be at ease. We're all working together aren't we?" Asked Tomura. 

Emma and Selene kept silent. 

"Okay, but now that we're here, I'm going to introduce a new member of our inner circle. I'd like to welcome the new black king, Erik Lensher." Said Tomura. 

The doors opened and magneto walked inside with Lorna and Mystique at his left and right. 

Magneto was wearing a black version of his armor, which resembled his Uncanny suit. 

"Hello my fellow compatriots, in just two days, we will commence the reaping. I, along with a new force will be taking down the last of a long list of filth. Will you join us Black Priestess?" Asked Magento as he looked at Selene. 

"I think I will. The White King has brought me up to speed on this operation and his long term plan. It's honestly ingenious, so I will participate." Said Selene. 

Tomura has informed Selene of his goal when they got back to the mansion. She was honestly impressed. 

To formulate a plan that spanned three decades. She had seen her fair share of tacticians and strategists over her long life, but Tomura was one of the best she's seen. 

Even against her, he admitted that he waited until he found the right ability to combat her openly. If he had tried to fight her before, he would win, but he would have an eternal enemy. 

And that's not something he liked. Having an enemy that doesn't die would push his plans back decades. Three of them was already too long, but he needed to get everything right. 

"Good, we will meet at the X Mansion in two days. Bring all the force you can muster. There are quite a few facilities. And White King, you and I need to talk in private." Said Magneto. 

Tomura nodded and they began discussing other topics. 

-Later- 

In a private room, Magneto and Erik sat at a table. Surprisingly, Erik took off his helmet. 

"I called you here to tell you about something." Said Erik. 

Tomura kept silent and let Erik speak. 

"I found out I have more children, twins to be exacted. They were born from a woman I had dealings with a number of years ago. Currently, the twins are 14 years old. Their names are Wanda and Pietro." Said Erik. 

"Why are you telling me this?" Asked Tomura with some confusion. 

"I want you to take them under your wing. Your goal is admirable, I'll admit that. But I have a lot of blood on my hands, and I don't want my children to follow down my path. I've already dragged Lorna down that path, I don't want to taint Wanda and Pietro." Said Erik. 

Tomura could understand. 

Magneto was a world wide criminal, so he knew that anything related to him would fall on his children. 

Erik deep down is a good man, but he's been through more than a lot of people. 

"Okay, I will do that. But you have to tell them you're their father. They deserve to know." Said Tomura. 

"I will do that." Said Erik. 

They ended the conversation and once Erik left, Emma came into the room. 

She sat on Tomura's lap and the two were face to face. 

"So, when you complete this operation, our date will begin, right?" Asked Emma. 

"Absolutely, I already planned it. It's going to be a good one, the best you've ever had." Said Tomura as he placed his hands on her hips. 

"Really now? Well I'm expecting something grand." Said Emma. 

"You'll see, it's going to be special." Said Tomura. 

"It better be." Said Emma as she kissed Tomura. 

-Two Days Later- 

-Location: X Mansion- 

Deep below the mansion, over 50 people were inside listening to the debriefing that Tomura was giving. 

"We will have five squads of ten with one have a leader. The main strike unit will not be limited in numbers. As you can see." Said Tomura as he pointed to the X-Force. 

The team consisted of Cyclopes, who was the leader, Wolverine, Magento, Sabertooth, Psylocke, Warpath, Exodus, Mystique, Silver Samurai, SunSpot, and Psion(Madelyne Grey(Pryor). 

Tomura would also be with this team. 

"Alright, team Alpha will be lead by Storm, team Beta will be lead by Iceman, team Gamma will be lead by Colossus, team delta will be lead by Beast, and team epsilon will be lead by Polaris." Said Tomura. 

"Alright, let move out." Said Tomura. 

He turned around, flicking his cape. His outfit was the same of the original Tomura from the MHA anime. His cape was black instead of red though. 

"Alright Azazel, I gave you the location of the main base, you will teleport all of us one by one just outside of it, far away from detection." Said Tomura. 

Azazel nodded and began teleporting people back and forth. 

The last left was Tomura. He turned and seen his daughter's and Emma. 

"Make sure you come back, I don't want to be a single mother." Said Emma. 

"I will, don't worry. And I'll be back to see my girls." Said Tomura as he smiled at the quintuplets.

Azazel came back and teleported him to the base. 

BAMF!
