X Days Till Future Past
(New York City)
(40 years later....)
On a cloudy night, filled with polluted air, a lady with greying hair sat on a train with her hood up. Peeking out the window, she saw dozens of mutants and humans marching like cattle as Sentinels led them across town.Every building was installed with a large screen on each side, displaying the most wanted and their current bounty.
Looking over at one with defeated eyes, the woman saw the name Monkey D Luffy his bounty crossed off with a stamp marking him dead.
Woman:!!
"I'm sorry everyone. I'm dead."
She was there to witness those last words he gave with his smile.
For a moment the woman was lost, not knowing what she should do now. However as the moment passed, so did the sorrowful gaze as it was replaced with burning determination.
There was some she could do. And she would do it.
(German airspace)
(Present day...)
The D-Men flew out of England with relatively no trouble, however, the more keen observers and deducers knew to stay on edge, the expect the unexpected.
Kitty, Sanji and Laura, from most on edge to least, were ready for an attack. Sanji was more on edge due to Robin's attitude. She was becoming a bit more closed off from the team she so openly presented herself to.
Kitty, despite being on edge was fast asleep, still fighting off the affects of the gas.
Robin herself was concerned about what the D-Men might learn about her.
Sanji: Robin-swan?
Robin: Hm?
Sanji: Due you know anything about these S.W.O.R.D guys?
Luffy: Like knights and samurai!?
Craig: No, like the guys that were on the ground when we came back.
Luffy:.... Mmm... Doesn't ring a bell.
Robin: S.W.O.R.D.... It's simply a rebranded S.H.I.E.L.D. under new management...
Robin: Ever since the incident with Nick Fury. The government has fully ceased the agency, and they seem to have handed it to someone...
Robin: I don't know who...
Craig: But what were they looking for?
Robin:....
Robin: It's probably one of us...
Robin:(smiles) Yes, after all we're all quiet exceptional. They have probably scouted one of us out for S.H.I.E.L.D's X-Agents.
Guido: X-Agents...?
Robin: They go by many names... Warlords... Mutant operatives...
Robin: What they really are, are a list of mutants that have, are, or are willing to work for a government.
Robin: S.H.I.E.L.D had picked seven to give privlages in exchange for their service.
Laura: I never heard of that before.
Robin: Why would you? These seven aren't all heroes. Some are cruel villains.
Tak: Super Fascinating... However. Why?
Robin: Why hire these Warlords? Well... It has to do with the four Emperor's.
Laura: There are emperor's now?
Robin: They're a title given to those with the biggest sway in the direction the Mutants are taking.
Robin: They are leaders with visions for the future of Mutant-kind that aren't necessarily aligned with the government.
Robin: Consider them, leaders of mutants.
Laura: This... I've heard of...
Robin: Professor X and Magneto are two you all will likely know well.
Laura: We met the professor.... Magneto... I've got enough of magnets to last a life time.
Luffy: Zzzzzzz....Zzzzz.... Meat.... Zzz!
Craig: Seriously? We're getting top notch info here! I'm especially disappointed in you Kitty!
Kitty: Zzz...
Sanji: Leave her alone! Ladies need their beauty sleep.
Kitty: Hm?
Sanji: Oh great, you woke her up!
Craig: What'd I do??!
With a bewildered look, Kitty looked around the plane. Seeing her friends as they bickered and discussed.
Craig: I'll have you know, I can talk so quiet, no one can hear me!
Sanji: That doesn't make any sense...
Laura: Shut up, both of you. I need a nap.
Sanji: Good idea. You look like you need more beauty sleep.
*Snikt*
Laura: And you look like you need a shave, pube face. Come close!
Sanji: My mustache is in developing, don't you dare touch it.
Spotting Luffy sleeping with a snot bubble slowly rising and shrinking, Kitty's eyes began to tear up.
Guido: Hm? What's wrong Kitty?
Everyone looked over at Kitty who leaped over to the seat across to hug Luffy. Confusing everyone.
Sanji: Whaaaaaat!?!
Tak: Whoa, whoa! You guys hug here? I don't know how I feel about that.... May I have one to test the waters?
Guido:(hugs Tak)
Tak:(struggling) Not... Bad....
*Pop*
Luffy: Hm?
Kitty: You're alive... I did it!
Luffy:(tilts head) Hm? Why are you crying, Kitty? Are you hungry?
Luffy: I cry sometimes when I'm starving... Oh! Sanji, what's for brunch!?
Sanji: Grrrr.... Hmph! Chicken...
Luffy: *gasp* Chicken?! You hear that Kitty! Come on cheer up! We're having chicken! In other words... Meat!
Kitty: *chuckles*
Wiping away her tears, Kitty smiles.
Kitty: I'd love some chicken. But we have something to discuss, Luffy. The fate of mutant kind rests on what we do in the next 24 hours...
Everyone:?
Kitty: Buckle up, kids, things are about to get complicated.
(Elsewhere....)
Five people watched the tv in a bar. A German news broadcast about a man and his big mutant hunting machines called Sentinels.
???: Ya see, right there... Boys, that's the problem with normies... They just can't handle being second fittle.
???: They think they can hunt us... Make us feel inferior with their... "Shiny toys". Well ya know what?
???: Let's show 'em we don't give a damn! Follow me! We're going to teach these darn normies how the brotherhood rolls!
???: Just like our new boss taught us!
(Back in the D-Jet)
Craig: Wait, you're saying that you're from the future?
Kitty:(nods) Yes.
Luffy: Lies! You aren't old and wrinkly!
Kitty:(smiles) That's because I sent my mind back into my younger self.
Luffy: Like... A ghost possessing someone!
Guido: Gh-Ghost!?
Tak:(raises hand) May I scan your brain?
Kitty: No.
Tak:(mutters) Tch. In your sleep then...
Luffy: (Smiles) I knew you were a ghost!
Kitty: By the end of this, I hope I am...
Luffy: Hm?
Kitty: Anyway, if that's settled, I've got something to tell you all-
Robin: May I interrupt?
Kitty: What is it?
Robin: I've studied ways to travel through time, now I have no doubt your none mystical ways have their own logic and reason...
Robin: The consequences should be the same.
Kitty: That's what I'm hoping.
Robin: In that case...
Grabbing Kitty, Robin pulls her aside to speak in private. The two enter the cockpit, shutting the door behind. With eyes of looking at someone as an acquaintance, Kitty waited for Robin's question.
Robin: If you care not for consequences... Tell me, do you know if I find what I'm looking for?
Kitty:....
Kitty: Robin... When the time comes... Believe in Luffy.
Robin: Hm?
Kitty: I know what this is to you right now... So all I'll say is that.
Quickly putting an end to the conversation, Kitty leaves the cockpit to see Luffy, Craig and Guido with their ears to the wall, having heard nothing to their disappointment.
Kitty: Back to business.
Kitty: The future is in danger. Luckily we're about to fly over the exact spot where everything changes for the worst.
Kitty: In 30 hours-
Luffy: Stop.
Kitty: What is it?
Luffy: I don't want to hear it.
Craig: Luffy, she's trying to tell us how to save the future!
Luffy; I don't care about the future! I don't want to hear a single detail about it.
Luffy: If we know what's going to happen, it'll ruin the fun! And I refuse to go on a boring adventure!
Laura: So stubborn.... But he's the boss. Sorry granny, we're not going to listen!
Craig: Seriously?!
Tak; If we know what's going to happen, it might also cause us to become trap in a pre determined destiny.
Tak: I would need to research time travel to be sure.
Kitty: *sigh* I should have seen that you'd be so stubborn...
She stares at Luffy. With his legs crossed, he sat sternly on the floor with a determined look. He has heard enough about the future, he will not hear her out.
But Kitty from the future had other ways to save the day.
Ways that she was hoping to use instead. Her own heavy glare lightened into a smile.
Sanji: I'm sorry, Kitty-Cat. I'll try to talk some sense into-
Kitty:(smiles) No need.
She rubs Sanji's head, messing up his hair. The cook blushes as he panics to fix it. Everyone watched as Kitty walked up to Luffy.
Bending down, she got to eye level with him.
Kitty: Luffy... (Smiles) Let's go on an adventure!
Luffy:(smiles)
Kitty: There will be sausages, a brawl or two and a fun journey!
Luffy:(smiles) Now you're starting to speak my language! Where's the adventure!
Kitty: Berlin! And guess what?
Luffy; *gasp* What?!
Excited, Luffy jumps to his feet, Kitty matching his giddy, leaps onto his back to get a piggy back ride.
She points towards the door.
Kitty: Adventure is that way, captain!
Luffy:(smiles) Then let's go!
He dashes without hesitation.
Kitty: We'll meet you there!
She phases herself and Luffy out the jet, the two going into free fall over Germany. The rest of the D-Men look around with a variety of different expressions. Some were annoyed, others were amused.
What ever the case, they had a new destination, Germany Berlin. Only, there was a small obstacle in their way.
*Rumble*
The jet suddenly experience turbulence. It shook after a muffled bang. Then again after an even louder bang.
Craig: What's going on!!?
Laura; Either god is sneezing at us or we're being hit by missiles!
Sanji: And since god isn't real...
Guido: God isn't real?!
Sanji:.... You're religious?
Radio: This is S.W.O.R.D. you are to surrender immediately or be blown out of the sky. There shall be no negations! Follow our instructions or-
Robin bloomed an arm to turn off the radio as she takes a seat in the cockpit.
Robin: It seems we'll be getting our own adventure as well...
Sanji takes the copilot seat.
Sanji: Don't worry, I'll help. (Wink)
Laura: And I'll watch...
Laura entered the cockpit with Tak.
Tak: I love front row seats!
Craig: We'll... Just buckle up in the back! Can't save the day every day! Heh...heh...
Guido: I don't like flying anymore!
*Woooooooooshhhh*
*Boing*
Luffy, inflated like a balloon bounced with Kitty who hugged his neck tightly, her teeth clenched tightly as not to scream.
The old lass's jaw strength forsakened her as her lips curled into a smile and her longs pressed out a scream of both joy and terror. Realizing she might have jumped the gun a little, Kitty was stuck riding the bouncy boy till he deflated and landed.
*Thud*
With a large smile, Luffy reached behind and grabbed Kitty by the tighs to help push further up his back so it would be more comfortable to carry her.
Luffy:(smiles) Where's the adventure to meat?
Kitty: *sigh*
Kitty:(smiles) Heheh...
Grabbing his hat, she places it on her head, and looks around.
Kitty: Sun rises in the east, sets in the west, that means we should go.... That a-way!
Luffy race towards the direction she pointed towards. One not noticing the explosions in the sky, the other completely forgetting about that incident. The two instead, continued until they found a road. Luffy began to follow it for roughly a mile before the duo came across a truck that slowed down.
Friendly man: Hey! Need a lift?
Luffy/Kitty:(smiles) Sure!
The two hop in the open back, and let the old man take them onward.
Kitty: Are you heading to Berlin?
Friendly man: Sure am.
Luffy: Wow! I thought other countries were supposed to suck at speaking, but you're pretty good!
Kitty: No, its not that. If I'm right...
Pulling out her younger self's phone, she discovers, after a few moments of figuring out her old password, that Tak had given her and everyone else with a phone a universal translater of hus design.
Kitty: Sneaky little... He snuck it in this early?
Kitty: Anyway... Thank you, sir. Can we get your name?
Stan: Stanley. You can just call me, Stan.
Luffy: You got any snacks, Stan? I'm starving!
(Up above)
*Rumble*
D-Men: Urk!
Robin: This isn't good... This jet doesn't have any weapons... And we're up against jets that can reach up to mach 3.
Robin: We'll have to go out and fight them ourselves...
Tak: Put me on top, I'll be jets turret.
*Snikt*
Laura: I can probably steal one.
Sanji: Ooooor... Fall to the ground.
Laura: Tch.
Robin: Alright. I'll help anchor you both to the top. Sanji, would you mind taking over.
Sanji:(smirks) It would be my pleasure.
Switching seats, Sanji took control as Robin crossed her arms and focused. Laura and Tak in the meantime went to the jets first exit.
Craig: Hey guys... Y-you know you're not supposed to open those mid flight... Right?
Laura: Relax. It's not like you can die, "Mister Immortal".
*Kachunk*
The cabin is depressurized, as Laura and Tak peek out the door to see a ladder of arms. Laura climbed up. Tak converted his chair into their arm form, and then joined X-23 as Robin held them to the jet with bloomed arms, as she used a bloomed set if eyes to see what was going on.
Tak: "Super Finger Pistols"!!!
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Returning the fire, the S.W.O.R.D jets were forced to take evasive maneuvers.
Guido and Craig clenched onto their leather seats for dear life.
*Vrrrrrr*
Finding one of the jets diving for an attack, Laura gave tak a signal. The newest member then grabbed and threw Laura at the jet, Robin's creating a vine of arms that held on to her back.
*Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuunnnnnk*
Laura sliced through the jet, ending its flight. X-23 was now experiencing life as a kite until getting sick of it and pulling herself back towards the jet with the arms of Robin.
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Boom*
*Bang*
Having his very own shoot out with the second jet, Tak thrillingly enjoyed this tussle.
Tak: Hahaha! I'm already loving you guys!
*Clang*
Craig:?
In the cabin, Craig noticed something out the window. The left jet wing was hit, specifically the motor on the wing, it was gut wrenchingly loose and getting worst. Craig looked away hoping that would make it go away, yet the problem grew and he knew he had to do something.
Pulling out a simple gun-like trinket he had made to utilize the web cartridges he had from "being gifted" Spidey utility belt. Inserting a cartridge, Craig got out of his seat and slowly approached the open door.
Guido; Craig!
Craig: Wh-wha-watch and learn how a real man-
*Rumble*
He fell out the jet.
*Thwip*
Craig: AHHHHHHH! OH SWEET MERCIFUL BUDDHA!?! THUNDER BOLT ZEUS OF HOLY OLYMPOS SAVE MEEEEEE!!!
TO BE CONTINUED....
