15. The East meets the West
"Toad!"
In the police station late at night, Cyclops, who was vigilant, recognized the invader immediately.
This guy with short figure is called Toad. Of course, this is a code name. His real name is Mortimer. Toynbee. He is a mutant with a low appearance and is also a senior member of the Mutant Brotherhood.
He has super jumping ability, can lurk in the water for a long time and eliminate breath. This guy's tongue can also stretch freely like a toad, and it has great power.
Although it looks a bit sloppy and funny, this guy is indeed a difficult opponent to deal with.
When the X-Men and the Mutant Brotherhood were against each other in those years, Cyclops fought against the Toad several times, each with a victory or defeat.
However, as Magneto was captured and detained by S.H.E.L.D., the Mutant Brotherhood fell apart. Cyclops thought the toad had died in S.H.E.L.D.'s encirclement of the Mutant Brotherhood.
But unexpectedly, this guy is still alive.
"What are you here to do? Back!"
The laser beam in the eyes of Cyclops is ready to go. Although the opponent has many people, he and Ororo are two advanced mutants. They join forces to fully resist this group of radical mutants.
But the question is, what are these guys who should have been hiding in the dark to do here?
Are they planning to take advantage of Oroluo's downfall and attack the Storm Girl?
"Don't be stupid!"
The toad spread his hands and signaled that he had no malice.
There was still blood on his hands, which was left when he killed those policemen just now.
The Mutant Brotherhood inherited Magneto's always iron-blooded style. In addition to occasionally showing mercy to his compatriots when fighting, they were merciless in dealing with hostile humans.
"I said, we are not here to fight!"
Toad signaled the mutants behind him to calm down. He reached out and pushed his weird goggles. He said to Cyclops and Storm Girl:
"We are here to save you!"
"save?"
Cyclops and Storm Girl were stunned for a moment at the same time.
"Yes, save you."
The toad took out several bloody badges from his pocket and threw them to Cyclops. The guy with five short figures said:
"I have been hiding in mainland hotels all these years. It is the Assassin Alliance's strongholds all over the world, and I have joined that organization."
"I didn't want to worry about this, but just 30 minutes ago, someone gave a reward in the Assassin League."
The toad pointed at the Storm Girl, and he said:
"It was a reward for her, the price was very high, and the killers on the entire East Coast were heard."
"I have killed at least four assassins coming to this side along the way. The longer I delay, the more dangerous she is... Staying here is just a dead end!"
"Quick! Come with us!"
"Bang"
As soon as the toad finished speaking, a low gunshot rang out of the dark night outside the police station. A bullet carrying huge kinetic energy pierced through the glass and shot towards the storm woman.
The toad opened his mouth suddenly, and his tongue popped out like lightning, rolled the bullets in the air, and then retracted them into his mouth.
"Pooh"
The guy spat out the scorching bullet again.
The bullet jingled on the ground, the Cyclops turned around, and a scorching laser light shot out in the direction when the bullet came, burning the killer hiding in the darkness through his heart.
"Look, I didn't lie to you."
The toad waved his hand, and several mutants behind him rushed out of the police station. The killers had arrived and they wanted to buy time for the toad and the Storm Girl.
"Thank you for your kindness."
The storm girl stood in the cage and said:
"But I can't leave, once I leave, it will be difficult to end."
"Those who are hostile to us will put all kinds of names on us, and all our efforts in the past will be in vain."
"You guys are still so stubborn!"
The toad screamed:
"Don't be stupid! Do you think that staying here and being judged by humans will allow those humans to accept us?"
"You are still as naive as before!"
"When you kill those damn cowards, this matter is destined to be difficult to end. You are not villains. You don't understand the villain's thinking. Why do they hire killers to kill you? Have you ever thought about it?"
"Once you die here, those bastards will proclaim that it is radical humans who have killed you! Those who support you will be blindfolded by hatred, and with a little guidance, the war will begin again..."
The toad listened to the shouts of killing that had already started to sound outside, and he said to Cyclops and the Storm Girl:
"In the current situation, everything you do is wrong! It's better to save your life first."
"Yes, you're right."
Cyclops stretched out her wrist and tapped it on the watch. He said to the toad:
"But there is a third way, we will stay here to protect Ororo until dawn..."
"Prove the X-Men's respect for the law and goodwill to the human world with practical actions, reaffirm our view of peace, while exposing their conspiracy!"
Summers glanced at the toad and said:
"You go quickly. For the sake of your help, don't be seen by SHIELD people again."
"oops!"
Toad was so angry that he jumped up by these stubborn bastards. He stared at the two guys in front of him, and he said:
"Whatever you guys!"
After saying that, he flexibly jumped from the ground to the wall and rushed out of the police station like a gecko.
As he left, Cyclops asked again:
"Toad, why are you and your brothers taking the risk to save us?"
"If Riven hadn't brought back the boss's order, would you think I would have come here at a risk? It's so stupid!"
The toad lay on the wall and said to Cyclops:
"We have never been friends, but before we remove the identity of the enemy, we are all mutants. When facing the malice of human attacks, we may be able to let go of our conflicts first..."
"In addition, there is a private reason. Among those children, Ororo went to save my adopted son..."
"Thank you for breaking the rules for your fellow countrymen, Storm Girl."
The toad rushed into the darkness, and his voice was still echoing in the messy police station:
"No matter how others think of you, this time, you are definitely a mutant hero."
A few minutes later, Agent McCree rushed to the police station with a team of fully armed demon hunting agents. The X-Men, who were summoned by Cyclops, had already formed a group of killers in the dark in the dark.
The entire block has become a battlefield, but compared to the X-Men who have different abilities, these ordinary killers are obviously not very good enough, and they are beaten to retreat step by step.
They tried to sniper Ororo at a long range with their sniper rifles, but the Steelers blocked the cage like a wall. The sniper bullets that could penetrate the steel could only splash out sparks when they hit the Steelers.
And in the sneak attack by two elusive young players, Flash and Phantom Cat, the screams of the killers frequently rang in the dark.
"Free shooting!"
McCree drew out his revolver and fired three bullets without even looking at it, knocking the two escaped killers to the ground.
He issued an order to the demon hunting agents behind him. After the joining of these new forces, the assassin alliance's killers retreated faster.
But in the chaos, McCree noticed a strange situation.
He rushed into the police station that was about to be blown into ruins by bombs. After confirming Ororo's safety, he asked:
"Where did Summers go? Why didn't I see him?"
"He just chased him out."
Steelers replied:
"He left in a hurry, as if he had discovered something, and he would come back soon. These human killers can't do anything to Summers."
————————————
On the other side, several blocks away, Cyclops was chasing something.
There is a reason why he left the battlefield.
Just in the chaos just now, he saw a figure almost exactly like Qin. It might be an illusion, but Cyclops still chased after him.
But after chasing for a few blocks, his sanity seemed to return.
He stood in the dark alley, looked left and right, then turned around and walked back towards the police station.
"Bang"
In the darkness, Cyclops' body suddenly rolled to the left, and a bullet rubbed his body and hit the ground.
He turned around and a scorching beam of laser light shot out, but the scorching light pierced into the darkness and disappeared like lightning. Obviously, it did not hit anything.
As a high-level mutant, in addition to the scorching rays that can easily tear the building, the physical fitness, strength and speed of Cyclops are far beyond ordinary people.
He could feel a dangerous guy in the darkness approaching him quickly.
"Swoosh, swosh, swosh"
The scorching rays kept shooting out, cutting terrifying melting marks on the walls of the alley, but the rays of light speed were frequently avoided by the guy who approached quickly.
When close enough to Summers, the guy in the windbreaker stretched out his right arm, and the scorching light swayed under his skin like a light lit up in the darkness.
"Swish"
A trace of Z-shaped shape was pulled out in the dark, which was the visual residue left on the retina when it advanced rapidly.
The guy raised his hideous claws and chopped it down at the Cyclops.
The latter's last ray also shot out from his eyes at this moment.
In the flash of dark red light, Cyclops saw the guy in front of him clearly.
His right arm was covered with black horny claws, just like the sharp claws of wild beasts and evil ghosts. The swollen and twisted claws were like sharp sabers, whistling sounds of wind breaking through the dark night.
The attacker's face was covered with interlaced scars, and he looked like he had been ruined by flames.
"puff"
At this distance that was impossible to dodge, the scorching beam of Cyclops easily penetrated the guy's chest.
The terrifying ray of temperature melted the attacker's skin, sternum and heart at the moment of contact, and a flesh and blood wound the size of a human head was opened on his chest.
A stinking smell of roasted meat rose in this destroyed alley.
Summers took a step back, and the claw almost wiped his face and smashed an impact pit on the ground.
He lowered his head, and another scorching light spurted out from his eyes, easily cutting the attacker into a pile of melted meat.
Flesh and blood cannot withstand this extreme high temperature.
"Summers, SHIELD's support has arrived. Agent McCree is waiting for you, please come back immediately."
The voice of Steelers sounded from the Cyclops’ watch communicator, Summers raised his arm and responded to his companion:
"Okay, I'll go back right away."
After saying that, he glanced at the minced meat under his feet, then turned around and left.
But just after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and placed his finger beside the frame of the tactical eyepiece.
Behind him, in the dark alley, the ticking sound of the cane on the bricks and stones was so obvious in the darkness.
This quiet alley makes it even more silent at this moment.
"Is it going to leave?"
A strange, unsettling sound rang in the darkness.
As Cyclops watched, the clown appeared in front of Summers with his colorful cane.
He was wearing a dirty purple suit, and in his suit pocket, he also had a cheap plastic fake flower.
"Don't you stay and talk for a few words?"
The clown's colorful face showed a grinning expression, and he said with a full malice:
"Ms. Ororo is okay? The scene of the white-haired Thor falling from the sky while controlling the wind is really amazing..."
"I couldn't help but applaud her, especially when she killed those unlucky guys... Tsk tsk, Blood Black Rose, I like such a hot-tempered girl."
"It's you!"
Cyclops said sternly:
"You planned all this!"
"Yes, it's right."
The clown had his hands behind him, and he pretended to give a bent over. He leaned on his cane and said softly:
"I hope you can arrange for me..."
"Swish"
Before the clown could finish his words, the scorching laser beam pierced the darkness and pierced his heart.
There was still a look of astonishment on his face, and he fell straight to the ground.
Cyclops let out anger, but just as he walked to the clown's corpse, the corpse in front of him disappeared strangely, like a surging water wave.
"Well, what gave you...the illusion that you were not manipulated?"
The damn voice of the clown sounded behind the Cyclops. The latter had no time to turn around and was punched in the cheek by the intact Winter Warrior, and he was beaten to the ground.
The moment he raised his head, the cold muzzle stopped his head, and the clown pulled the trigger with full of malicious intentions.
“bo!”
But no bullets were shot out.
A small red flag spurted out from the muzzle, but the simulated gunshot still shocked the Cyclops.
"Why don't you smile? Friends wearing sunglasses."
Amid the clown's laughter, the Cyclops, which was about to fight back, was stabbed into his neck by the Winter Soldier with a syringe. Under the high concentration of sleeping agent, the world in front of him became blurred.
All the conspiracies that night were not Ororo...
But him!
No, it's not him...
It's a piano!
