Rogueverse Magneto Volume 1, Issue #5: Beginning of a New World

With that, the soldier collapses in front of me. I've wasted too much time as it is with these whelps. As I float down from the rooftop, I notice a light from underneath the big doors of the warehouse. Looks like at least someone is inside. There's my way in.. I rip open the big metal doors, and walk inside. A couple of scientists notice my entrance, and begin to run for their lives. Scanning the room, I see conveyor belts filled with parts for these "Sentinel's" that Bolivar Trask has produced. Well not anymore. I rip these monstrosities apart before they can hurt more of my people. Sure this is only one of many facilities, but eventually, they will all fall. The alarms start to sound off, catching me by surprise a bit.

 

"What's going on down there!" I hear a voice yell, as the alarms keep blaring.

 

Scientist: "It's one of those mutants Trask. The one they call Magneto.. It's here, and out for blood. Get out while you still can."

 

Trask: "DAMNIT! Words I never wanted to hear." As they are talking to each other, I float up towards Trask on my metallic disk. Once I land on the platform, I notice Trask shaking in fear. He's trying to cover it up, and wants to stay strong for his colleagues, but he can't. I know what fear looks like. I've been affected by fear for a long time. First with the day of the crash, and then the day when the Sentinels were greenlit. I was scared for myself, and scared for my people. But that fear dies today, with the death of the man behind all this tragedy.

 

Trask: "You're only proving my point with this.. Mutants are a menace to everyone! This won't be the end. This is only the beginning! I will sacrifice myself, if that means the extinction of mutant kind. Your filth has plagued us for far too l-o.."

 

Magneto: "Do you ever shut up?! More irritating than my brother running his mouth off, and that's saying something. By the way, you're wrong Trask. This is the end." I grab a steel bar from nearby, and throw it at Trask. He tries to jump out of the way, but it's too late. The bar gets shoved into his lower chest, and he stumbles backwards, falling off the platform. I hear a thud as the body hits the floor. I should feel relieved that the mastermind behind the Sentinels is dead. But I don't, because he was right. Not the whole alien menace thing obviously.. But that its only the beginning. My job won't ever be fully done. There are still more facilities to be destroyed, and more mutants to be saved. As long as the world hates mutants, I'll be here, fighting for them. To keep my father's dream alive of a world where mutants can live and prosper. So yes, this is the beginning, but not in the way you thought Trask. This is the beginning of a new world. The world for mutants.
