Chapter 154 - 106

Ess.e.x was a crazy man. Max didn't want to go against him right now, he had enough on his plate. If Ess.e.x wanted he could trace his way back to Max.

Maybe even harm Felicia or Peter. That was the thing that he hated most, being vulnerable. He should have used a mask or a disguise before coming here. Heck he should have done that even before entering the X-mansion.

"Hey, why aren't you doing anything." The boy asked. "Didn't you say that you were going to help."

"Things aren't that easy." Max grumbled. Now things didn't matter, even if Max left the kids and Wolverine, he would still be targeted. The best thing to do now was to rescue the kids and do so without showcasing all the powers.

At least this way, he would have a last stance against him. Also for some reason his Spider-sense wasn't detecting any major danger. Meaning either the opponent was weak or the target was still the kids.

Max bet on the later. "Hang in there. And for god's sake put out that fire." Grabbing the kids with his tendrils, he started running through the corridor. The best thing he could do was run until he got out or until the enemy showed itself.

The shadowy hands sprouted in front from time to time, but he dogged them just fine, he needed to go near the elevator shaft. That way he could easily go up. They were approximately five floors underground.

And Max's spider-sense went wild, even while he was carrying two, he jumped back. And a ten-foot silver sentinel appeared. It looked more like a transformer rather than a sentinel. Even in darkness, it's steel body shone black.

The sentinel fired at Max, a powerful energy beam of some kind, which he had to guard with a makeshift vibranium shield. Unlike Crypto's green flames, a normal energy blast did nothing to Max. He could even absorb it if he wanted. But the less he showed the better.

Still behind his large shield, he picked up and threw several metallic projectiles at the sentinel. And surprisingly enough, it took some damage, tripping back it's steps… Until it healed itself.

"Walter, could robots heal themselves?" Max asked. But then again why was he even surprised. It was Marvel, anything could happen.

"Sir, I am detecting a small source of X-gene signature from it." Walter said.

Now this was interesting, using mutant abilities by a robot was something new. If that was possible, maybe he could use that same technology in his husk body. Now that was a generous offer. And how hard could fighting a metallic bot could be?

Max looked towards the kids, "Stay close and be on guard." He didn't wait to hear the response from the kids.

He threw his arm forward, as it extended into blackish goo morphing like liquid as it went towards the sentinel. The sentinel saw it, and flipped backwards trying to avoid the incoming danger.

But it was all for none, as the liquid like arm grabbed him, hardening as it did, smashing it towards the nearby wall. The sentinel struggled to get free from the liquid like substance, which was tightening around it.

"Oh, you won't get anywhere." Max smirked, pushing more strength into his extending arm. As the symbiotic liquid around the robot hardened, creating vibranium spikes that pierced it, it was destroyed immediately. Max even went on to absorb it, even though it was a bit hard to absorb metal, he could do it. He would analyze it later, when he got back.

"Well, that was easy…" Max couldn't even finish his sentence when his spider-sense went off, and an arm broke though the metallic wall beside him. And it fired an energy blast right from a few feet away.

Max grabbed the kids and moved the large vibranium shield to the side, tackling the energy blast at the last moment. Even though he along with the kids were pushed back due to it.

Another one broke through the ground just behind them, moving its two energy weapons towards them. Max caught the sentinel behind them with another hand, trapping it in place and jamming its weapons even before it could shoot at them.

Still shielding from the energy blast in front, he flung the captured sentinel towards the shooting one. Both sentinels crashed into each other, detonating. Explosions went by as they caught fire.

"How many of them are there?" Crypto said, as his hands balled up.

Another sentinel from both sides appeared, almost out of thin air. The one with the abilities might have some hand in that.

Max didn't want to use his energy redistribution ability, but then again. He wasn't seeing any other way. Without it Max had to only rely on his strength. He was strong, but he wasn't superman or anything.

He needed to find another way. "Walter can you hack into them if I upload you through Techno virus?"

"Negative sir. It would take at least five minutes to do so." Walter replied.

Max cursed his bad luck, time was of the essence. He needed to act fast. Not using most of your abilities, while fighting weak yet annoying robots wasn't good for his mental health either.

Also this narrow space was getting annoying as well. "Grab on tight," he said to the kids, grabbing them by wrapping his tendrils around them, before he jumped upwards, smashing through ceiling after ceiling as he did.

He even used his tendrils to push them away from the area. He was about to leave, breaking the last ceiling and get out of this underground bunker facility, when an unfortunate incident happened.
