I couldn't sleep when I got back to the mansion. I just laid in the bed till the golden morning rays peaked into the room window. And the various alarms on school grounds signaled the start of the day. I did my daily morning routine, Indra got up some minutes after I did, doing the same routine.

"Morning Bro, slept good?"

"Morning Indra…..I did...yeah" I rubbed his wet hair.

"Aww dude, I just styled it."

"Pftt yeah right. Who are you trying to impress? Huh, oh I see it now, Indra has a crush"

"Bro! Shush! Don't say that man, I don't have a crush" He blushed. "Dude check out my guns. Impressive huh?" he flexed his thin muscles.

"Haha cough Hahaha!" I nearly choked on water.

I set the water bottle down and grabbed for my black trousers drawing them on and wrapping the X-belt around my waist.

"Don't be jealous bro." he replied smugly, donning his body suit.

"I'm heading out to meet up with my squad. See you at lunch" I said, pulling on my X-jacket. I just realised that the large yellow x on it made me look like a walking target.

"Yea me too bro" he nodded.

|§§§§|

I left the room, closing the door behind me and made my way to the meeting room.

Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm on the xbelt rang. I changed my direction from that of the squad room to the teachers lounge. I entered the door, the X-men were all inside and already suited up.

"Good you're here. I'll brief you all on the jet, for now let's get going" Cyclops nodded and crossed the door. The X-men behind him.

We rushed to the lower levels, boarding the advanced piece of machinery that was the blackbird, the X-men's very own private jet.

I strapped the safety belts across my chest and leaned back into the oddly comfortable seat, the air was filled with that nice new car smell. The interior of the jet looked like an alien piece of technology, a multitude of blinking leds lined the control board. Next to the switches and buttons and a large steering which was now being manned by Dr McCoy. It felt like flying presidential. The jet smoothly ascended and hovered over the closed hangar doors that was disguised as the basketball court.

Wolverine sat parallel to me, letting out a small breath he had held.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

Wolverine nodded. "A monster the size of godzilla emerged from the ground and it's now terrorizing the city of San Francisco. We're going to have to stop it."

"Nothing new. Just another day in the lives of the X-men" Kitty joked.

"Our best hope is to drive it back into the hole it crawled out of" Cyclops explained, a screen popped down showing a live feed of a literal dragon, the green reptilian monster towered over the tallest buildings, it tore down skyscrapers and swatting trucks through the air with its spiked tail. A nasty snarl on its snout.

"Hope? Shouldn't we have a more cohesive plan instead? I mean it could crawl out the hole again after we put it back in. Maybe not today but sometime in the future and then it's back to zero all over again." I questioned. If the monster was strong enough to get out it the ground

I could feel Cyclops' hard gaze at me, through his visor. The other X-Men alternated their gazes from me to him.

"Right, we don't question orders huh?"

"We're here" beast said, breaking the tense atmosphere.

I stared out the window. I've seen a lot since coming here, I've witnessed some messed up sights. But this was something else. This just drives the fact that you're in a very different world through your skull. The monster was like a cross between a green godzilla and a dragon. It had flaming spikes lining the back of its spine to the end of its tail. Curved wicked fangs protruding from its maw, corrosive saliva dripped down its fangs and eroded whatever it came in contact with. Glinting claws extended from its fingers, it swiped at the jet which expertly evaded it.

"Hank, you're in the air, deploy a little artillery to see if it turns around.

Emma and Kitty you're on damage control, get the civilians out of harm's way. I and Logan are going to flank it, contain its area of movement. Drake, create clones to assist damage control and focus the rest on the monster, try to limit its movement. Pete, you know what to do" Cyclops directed. "X-Men, let's go"

I just realized something. I can take down this monster, alone at that and ridiculously easily.

My clones moved through the air, freezing falling rubble and debris, while getting people out of harm's way.

Colossus was literally riding the monster's snout, punching it and overall just making it angrier. Cyclops kept blasting the things knees while wolverine slashed at it. And me? I was just freezing it's feet in place.

"Hank, hit it on the back!" Cyclops ordered.

Missiles shot at the monster's back and exploded in a mass of flames. It's not working. It just made the monster even more angry, I mean the thing already had flames on it, I don't think it would be affected by even more flames. The fight was getting drawn out and the scale of destruction was rapidly rising. People were dying, we can't save everyone. The city was being torn apart, my clones could see bodies being buried and crushed beneath wreckage. The monster threw off colossus and went on a rampage.

So I improvised. "Drake, what are you doing?" Cyclops questioned.

"Ending this" I answered.

"Follow the plan iceman, do not act on your own orders!" He yelled.

I ignored his words and focused.

A massive ice storm brewed around me, cold winds coalesced and small tornadoes formed a curtain around me. And when they dispersed a gigantic blue glowing, four armed ice knight stood straight. "Susano'o" I said through the giant knight that towered over all. The ground beneath the giant was freezing, the temperature was rapidly dropping. My grip tightened.

Each arm held a giant sized weapon, ranging from a war axe and hammer to a bow and a greatsword.

Four angelic wings sprouted from the back of the ice giant as it dashed for the monster.

The monster roared and charged at me — it made a big mistake. Meter wide Ice pillars shot from the bow with an air splitting whistle, impaling the monster through its open maw. The beast roared out in pain as holes were torn through the back of its neck. Holes that began to close as its flesh rapidly regenerated.

I lashed out with a swing. Hurling the monster through a broken skyscraper. It roared, spitting corrosive acids and fire at the giant I piloted. The acids froze in air and the fire barely did damage to me.

"Have a piece of your own medicine" I turned the solidified acid into spikes and sent it shooting through the monster's face.

"Roarrrgggghhhh!!" it cried in agony.

Bam! The ground caved in as the giant Warhammer slammed down on it, a mighty sound wave propagating outwards along with an air cushion. The lower limbs on the ice giant's torso morphed into sharp spears that stabbed into the monster's midsection. It roared "Wraaargg!" and tried rousing itself up. Bam! It was met with an armored headbutt. I pushed my powers into its system. I froze the liquid that made up its body. From the water in its orange blood, to the fluid in its spine. In less than seconds, the monster was fully flash frozen. All its tissues turned ice solid. The once alive beast of destruction now lay beneath my feet, a frigid dead carcass.

In the ensuing silence that followed, only gasps and exclamations remained.

"Good God" Cyclops said, half awestruck and half terrified. He turned to stare at the other X-Men who seemed to have also paused, even the once escaping civilians stop to stare as of no longer bothered. The ice giant oddly shaped like a samurai knight crossed with a giant mecha robot. The very pressure it's form radiated gave them chills, it's pupiless blue eyes staring from beyond the glistening helmet roamed for a moment and focused back on the frozen dragon-like monster.

The ice giant, kicked the frozen monster back into the hole, a loud crashing sound echoed like the breaking of glass as it fell to the bottom.

A loud uproarious cheer rocked the atmosphere. The rescued civilians fevently rejoiced at the victory. Some even hugged the various ice men on the ground. Cyclops was amazed. The people didn't insult them, or debase them for being mutants like a normally would've. Instead they praised. He stared at the other X-Men, who had varying degrees of smiles of their faces. He would've smiled, should've. But the boy ignored direct orders, although he succeeded this time. Then what of the next? What will the results of his actions be should he fail the next time he ignores orders, how high will the casualties be? He couldn't be always right. But why cyclops failed to take into consideration was the fact that he himself was also human, he was also prone to making mistakes. His orders couldn't always be right. He needed to have flexibility, but that wasn't cyclops. Cyclops is down to the book, he fashions himself a sort of leader for the mutant race now that the professor isn't here. He would do what he deemed best for the mutant race.

Obligatory rhyme - My knees are weak, my hand is heavy, there's pen ink on my white sweater already, my eyes hurt from all this reading, the test paper rolls out, my roommate is screaming, kicking at the doors, he flies off the railings. It's so sad, but I can't stop laughing, I hold the paper and close my eyes, I pray to the lord and let him grip my pen and before I realize it's the end. I scored a…ten...over a ten!!!

Rain away!
