Marvel: A Symbiotic Life - Chapter 156

Max was pushed back just a few steps. And that was all the mechanical sentinel needed. It teleported towards the kid, stabbing the boy and setting the girl ablaze. Or at least tried to.

But Max was ready for the outcome, and sent vibranium projectiles towards the broken robot. Several long shards of metal went through it, pinning it before it could attack them.

And Crypto used the opportunity to set it ablaze. A beam of emerald flames hit the robot’s body. The sentinel still teleported away, a few floors up. Only to be tangled by a tendril of black goo pulling it back into the last floor.

The robot’s face along with its upper body was giving off smoke. Only the Adamantium skeleton and some internal parts remained undamaged. Everything else was almost melted.

Even though it had self-healing, it would take time to heal all the metallic parts. And Max wasn’t going to let go off this golden opportunity. He jumped with all of his strength as a large crater formed underneath his feet.

He spun in air, as one of his arms morphed into an organic-vibranium hammer. And he smashed it down to him with all of his strength. The robot’s bone structure bent and cracked as it was hit. It was thrown sideways into the wall.

Even with broken parts and a damaged core, it still moved, trying to get up. But another person acted first. Crypto stood in front of it taking a deep breath, blowing forward as green flames came to life, burning and melting anything it touched.

But he still was putting effort to it, until the flames turned white, obliterating even the Adamantium bones the robot was made of.

But Crypto had pushed himself beyond his limits, as he started chocking, the white flames were too strong for his throat to handle. And he started to cough blood, vomiting as he did.

Laura came running towards his side. As tears started forming on her eyes. Was she about to lose another one. Another one of the close ones that he grew up with. He still remembered her so called mother. She too tried to help her… but it didn’t go too good for her as well.

Max came to the boy’s side. He wasn’t going to lie, even though he was standing meters away from the fire, his spider-sense was screaming for him to hide. Whatever the boy’s fire was based up on.

It was strong, stronger than anything he knew. Max pseudo-bonded to him, fixing his throat and any injuries that he had. Now that the robot was gone, he could use his powers with less precaution.

“Don’t worry.” He said softly, not looking at the girl. “He will be fine, now.”

Max removed his hand, Crypto was fine now. Even though he was panting, he didn’t have any bodily injuries anymore.

“Sir, I am detecting high level of Gamma radiation coming from the underground vicinity. And it seems to be condensing.” Walter spoke, through his comms. “Sir, I recommend getting out, it may detonate any second now.”

“Shit.” Max grabbed the kids by wrapping tendrils around the kids. Jumping with all his might, he pushed himself by the rest of his tendrils as he went up. He could use his teleportation ability, but he still wasn’t sure that no one was looking.

Sure there might not be any mechanical device, but there could be spells that might be keeping an eye on him.

Max came out of the building, even going through the three floors that were above the underground floor. He wanted to get as much distance as possible. And he did the right thing.

In the last floor of the underground base, the robot’s energy core, crackled with energy. It burst opened as green fire started getting tangled up, condensing into a white ball.

Before it exploded, white and green flames assaulted the surrounding the area at light speed, consuming anything and everything in its path. Obliterating and demolishing anything in its path.

The ground shook from where Wolverine was, but he was too busy to pay attention. Fighting sentinels and an army of soldiers alone was exhausting enough for him to not care.

Even though Walter, Max’s A.I. was helping him with taking over missile launchers that were one the ground sending down missiles towards the army men and sentinels, and the Blackbird giving air support from the sky. He was getting tired of it.

He hadn’t been active in hacking and slashing down soldiers since the Vietnam war. So, he was kinda getting rusty. Still he was holding pretty well against modern artillery.

He screamed while running, putting his forearms forward as soldiers fired machine gun rounds at him. Getting one and a half inch bullets stuck to your arms wasn’t the most pleasant feeling.

Still he pushed on, jumping forward and slashing at the soldier, separating his head to pieces. He held his knees panting, it was time for a short break before another unit of soldiers came by.

But then he felt the ground shaking, it shook violently enough that he almost lost his footing. Then he heard a big bang. He glanced at the facility to see a neon green light before the heated air hit him.

The facility was in ruins now. Even the soldiers on the island were pancaking. Some even left their post running for the sea.

But Wolverine started running towards the facility. He really hoped that Max got the kids out in the last moment. He looked around, it was smoke and dust everywhere.

Due to the heated explosion, the sky cleared, creating a ring like shape above the island. Wolverine couldn’t hear for now; his ear drums were brushed due to the explosion.

So he looked around until he saw an odd shaped bird in the sky. He waited for his vision to clear, and it was Max.

.

Wolverine sat on the black bird sit, with tattered torn up clothes. “You left me there alone. I had to fight an army alone.” He grunted.

Max rolled his shoulder, “Good for you mister Rambo. Believe me, I would rather be up there fighting an army rather than the biological monstrosity I just fought.”

Wolverine scoffed, having a drink from the bottle that he had on the Blackbird. “You don’t even look damaged.” He said, pointing at him.

“Oh, believe me it’s a part of my power. I took plenty of damage down there.” Max said. “Also why do you even drink?”

“It doesn’t do anything, but at least I can take my mind off for a few seconds.” He grunted.

“I am not the man to judge you or anything. But…” Max pointed at the kids that were sleeping on the back seats . Max had to put them to sleep forcefully, they were giving them a hassle. Not wanting to return back.

They would be kept under the professor, even though he gave Max no reason to trust him. He is the best option for now. “Free will” bullshit, until they are eighteen, they don’t get to decide for themselves. They have a psychopath on their tail.

If they are left to their causes, they would turn into a mercenary or a killer on the run. Both are not preferable to him.

“At least don’t drink in front of her. In some ways you are her… father.” Even saying the words made Max awkward. And Wolverine wasn’t doing fine either.

Wolverine scoffed, chugging down a mouth full, before opening the window and throwing the bottle away. After that he and Max chatted for a while.

This version of Wolverine had all of his memories. He had spent almost a decade with the mutants and the professor little by little helped him regaining his memories.

So he was kinda of used to taking care of a kid. He had one before, but the boy died before he turned ten. He had the same powers as Wolverine.
