Chapter 49: Chapter 49

IN THE UNDERWORLD

Selena can be seen effortlessly trying to break free from the bondage surrounding her. She kept on trying and kept on failing. But she wasn't giving up just like that.

"Stop trying to break free Selena, you will never be able to get out of this place on your own, no matter how strong you are. Learn to be humble for once Selena " The unknown voice came again.

" Never. That is what you think but my promise to you is that I will break free from this bondage and when I do, nothing and no one will be able to stop from getting what I want" Selena laughed evilly.

" Well...snap out of your fantasy and face reality Selena. The only people or force who can free you from this prison is the same force that brought you here. You and I know that the Fenris Twins will never, not even in their wildest dream, free you from here so snap out of it "The voice revealed. Selena's face dropped in disappointment, realizing the voice was making a point.

" Curse you Hudson and Alvara. I swear on my life that I will make you two pay. I will surely break free from here without your help, don't you worry. And I will come back for you..."

AT THE UNDERGROUND

Surprisingly, it wasn't even that hard to convince John and the rest about the Brotherhood.

" All we need is for Blink to teleport all of us to that cave cause trekking is definitely not an option " John spoke up.

" I can't guys. I haven't heard of that cave neither have I been there before. I can't teleport all of us to a location I know absolutely nothing about " Blink replied.

" Oh, yeah. I kind of forgot " John mumbled sadly.

" You can still teleport us there Blink. All you have to do is let either Alvara or I to take control of your mind and we will tell you where to go" Hudson said making everyone's eyes flash in hope.

" Oh yeah, that will work " Leriel agreed without hesitation.

" Well, if that's the case... let's do this " Blink gingered with eagerness and excitement.

Everyone and when I say everyone I meant; John, Ben, Blink, Alvara, Hudson, Polaris and Leriel, gathered in circle, holding each other's hand. Alvara took control of Blink's mind and created a portal which sucked all of them in.

Right in the middle of the 7 statues inside the cave, a green light can see been seen as a very huge portal appeared. Blink and the rest all stepped out before the portal closed up. Slowly opening their eyes, a wow left everyone's lips but of course, apart from Hudson and Alvara who high-five themselves.

" We did it" They both chuckled.

" Wow. This place is magnificent " John mouthed in awe.

" And these statues are all extremely huge. I can't even see their faces " Polaris exclaimed.

" Oh not you worry, we will help explain who they are" Hudson offered.

" This one over here is a statue of professor Xavier and of course, his layer and we all know...

" Yeah, yeah, he is the leader of the Brotherhood " Ben chimed in.

" Thank you so much Dad "

" This one over here is my Dad, Lopez and beside him is your Dad, Blink " Alvara said and Blink beamed.

" Really?" She asked and Alvara nodded. Blink rushed into his layer and came back later with a picture in her hand.

" He never forgot about us. See, he still have our family's picture " She giggled making everyone smile.

" Then over here, is the white queen, Emma Frost and the rest " Hudson concluded.

" So how do we know which of them we belong to?" Polaris couldn't help but ask.

" We have to listen to our hearts this time around " Hudson said walking over to a lever beside professor Xavier's statue. Pulling it down, seven big stone emerged from the ground, covering up the fountain which was at the middle.

" We all have to choose who our heart tell us to and step on to the stone representing them. Then wait and see if you have been chosen " Hudson explained and everyone nodded slightly in agreement.

" Ready?" He asked.

" This is kind of harder than I thought " John mumbled.

" I choose my Dad " Alvara was the first to step on to the stone representing Lopez.

" I choose my Dad too" Blink followed.

" I choose Legion " Hudson followed too.

" I'll go with Emma Frost " Polaris stepped on.

" I choose Raven " Eclipse was next leaving John and Ben still debating.

" You should go for professor Xavier John. I think you deserve the position " Ben said.

" No...I choose Jean Gray" John replied much to everyone's surprise.

" Mr Ben, you deserve the position of professor Xavier. I might be the leader of the Underground but that doesn't qualify me to be the leader of the Brotherhood. You might not be a mutant but... you have the qualities of an amazing leader " Everyone couldn't help but agree to what John said. Ben stared at professor Xavier's stone reluctantly. He wasn't that much convinced.

" Come on Ben, you can do it and we all support you" Eclipse said and everyone chorused a yes... except from Alvara. Ben looked at her with guilt in his eyes.

" Will she really accept me as the leader, someone who killed her father?" He couldn't help but wonder.

" Guys, I don't think I deserve this position. I was once a Sentinel and I captured and killed most of the members of the Brotherhood. I killed Lopez...

" And so what?" Alvara snapped him off making Ben look down, guilt already killing him.

" That was in the past and I don't think we should keep on hanging on to the past. You've changed and even sacrificed your life so many times to save me and millions of other mutants. You deserve the position Ben, don't make a mistake you will regret later on" Alvara added making Ben look at her in surprise.

" You can do it Ben " Alvara smiled at him. Ben smiled back as his confidence boosted back again. Without hesitation, he stepped on to the stone, completing them. They all stretched out their hands, placing it on a round stone before them and closed their eyes.

The stone started glowing as they felt a rush of power enter into their body. The tattoo representing the different members of the Brotherhood appeared on their back neck, glowing brightly. The statues slowly started changing.

Professor Xavier changed to Ben. Emma Frost changed to Polaris with her belly bump. Lopez changed to Alvara and Lee changed to Blink. And of course, Legion changed to Hudson, Raven to Eclipse and lastly... Jean Gray to John. With that, the glow stopped and the tattoo imprinted on their necks. They all opened their eyes slowly.

" Did it work?" Was the first question Alvara asked as they stepped down from the stones. They all looked up to the statues and was more than shocked. A happy chuckle left their lips.

" It did work " They all exclaimed, pulling each other in a hug.

" We're so proud of you Ben " Alvara said

" Thanks guys " Ben smiled.

" Well everyone... welcome to the layer of the Brotherhood!" Hudson announced in a loud voice.

3 MONTHS LATER( IN THE UNDERGROUND)

Polaris was in labour and it wasn't an easy one because her powers were misbehaving and out of control. Alvara and Hudson could hear her scream from outside making their worry increase. There was a great lightning and darkness which covered the Underground making everyone tremble. Her magnetic power was circling the Underground making everything magnet together.

It was Emily, Blink, Eclipse, John and Ben who was helping with the delivery since they couldn't take her to the hospital because of her powers. Soon a heavy rain started pouring down as Polaris let out another scream.

" Oh God, please let Polaris and the baby the fine, please " Everyone prayed.

Soon, it stopped raining and the lightening stopped too. The magnetic force circling the Underground vanished. Hearing the cry of a baby, happiness overwhelmed everybody and they all cheered happily.

" Thank you so much " Alvara, Hudson and the rest all thanked.

A DECADE LATER

Alvara entered the Underground and inhaled the scent deeply.

" Wow, it has been so long I came here. I missed this place so much " She muttered.

" It's so good to be back " She chuckled.

" Yeah, you're right. Even I have missed this place " A voice said and Alvara turned only to see Hudson. They both look really older. Well because they were older. Hudson was now 30 while Alvara was 29.

"Hey, you didn't tell me you were coming. Why did you lie to me that you were sick?" Alvara glared at him. Hudson only wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer, kissing her on the lip.

" I just wanted to tease you my dear wifey" He smirked making Alvara punch him hard on the chest.

" Ouch, that hurts" He grimaced with a pout.

" You look so cute are you aware of that?" Alvara asked.

" Does it make your heart flutter?" Hudson asked back.

" It makes my heart skip really fast so stop toiling with me" Alvara hissed making Hudson laugh at her.

" Hey. How about we go check out the books in the library. I'm sure we will find more adventures to embark on" Alvara suggested.

" Deal" Hudson agreed and they both heading to the library upstairs. They were surprised at how well arranged the library was.

" John and Blink are really doing a good job looking after this place despite though no one is living here anymore" Alvara muttered and grabbed a book.

Flipping through the pages, she came across something which caught her attention.

" Hey honey, come check this out" She called out to Hudson who rushed to her.

" What is it?" He asked.

" Take a look at what is written in this book. I don't quite understand it and I've never came across it before" Alvara expressed.

" I don't know either, it says it is some kind of spell or something" Hudson hummed.

" Erm..."By the power of the invincible force, even sinners shall be set free?" The both of them read out but it came out as a question. Seeing nothing happened,

" I'm sure it's nothing" They both shrugged and just then, Hudson's phone rang.

" Hello" He answered.

" What?!"

" Ok, we'll be on a way" He ended the call.

" What happened?" Alvara demanded.

"Looks like we both have another villain to take down. What do you say?" Hudson revealed.

" Boy, am I ready?" Alvara exclaimed.

" You sure are" Hudson replied.

" Let's do this" They both chorused at the same time.

MEANWHILE, IN THE UNDERWORLD

Selena was still in her prison, lying helplessly on the floor. Suddenly, she felt a force enter into her body making her sprang up on her feet. The invisible force caging her vanished immediately. A satisfactory evil grin had it's way on her lips.

" Those Fenris fools thought they could get rid of me so easily but they ended up setting me free without even knowing it" She giggled evilly.

" I am coming for you Hudson and Alvara. I made a promise to make you guys pay and I don't go back on my promises. Get ready for your downfall because... SELENA GALILEO is back..." Selena grinned even the more, letting out an evil laughter before vanishing...

THE END
