Chapter 150 Mutants versus Pirates

Chapter 150 Mutants versus Pirates

We did our first mission. Off the island of Krakoa was a pirate island full of Singaporean pirates. They were hundreds of miles away from Singapore but they’d have to be in order to catch ships who weren’t aware they were pirates. They weren’t stupid enough to outright attack Krakoa but they were applying unforeseen pressure. There were too many tourist mutants on Krakoa and every day more and more went further and further away from Krakoa while they played.

It was a preemptive measure that we were to get rid of the pirates. That’s why they sent in Kitty Pryde's team who was authorized to kill if necessary. Some of the members of our squad like Rose were going to exploit that to the fullest. It was also our first mission which could lead to the entire team disbanding if it goes wrong or several members being removed because they don’t fit on the team.

I was still looking at Rose, the possibility that she’d be kicked off the team for killing everyone she fought was high. I knew she was a spy but at the same time, she was terrible at hiding her bloodlust. She’s an awful spy, but at the same time, it makes her better because who would send a spy so bad at their job? She and Scott constantly bickered as we made our way towards the island.

I killed Shaw already so the Marauder's betrayal wouldn’t happen. At least not like it did in the comics. She rubbed Lockheed her pet dragon as the island came into sight. It was still terrified of me, with our empathic abilities it knew how thirsty I was and tried its best to protect Kitty from me. He could feel Kitty’s lust towards me. It was a losing battle where we’d eventually end up together and Lockheed couldn’t really do anything but try to slow down the process.

The island was shaped in a way that made it extremely difficult to attack. Many hills break the line of sight with sniper towers on the tops. That plus a large cluster of rocks overlooking the island with a mortar tower at the very top. We’d have to constantly deal with projectiles raining down that could destroy our ship if we didn’t take it out first. Kitty gave the go-ahead.

“Scott. Take down that mortar perch.” I slapped him on the back as he took the glasses off his face. The beam was so strong only a few seconds of looking had the tower toppling into the water, some may die because of falling that distance but it was necessary to do so. He put his goggles down again before lining up his next shot destroying the nearest sniper nest with a single glance before shielding his eyes again.

It was surprising. In the comics, Scott was always the last to do things that would result in the deaths of anyone. He backed Charles fully and that went with his ‘no killing humans’ rule. I slapped our two aquatic members giving them a burst of power and letting them swim the distance before we reached it. Coming around to the opposite end of the rock cluster I slap Kitty who immediately falls to the ground.

She’ll take out the remainder of the snipers before her effect wears off. The two aquatics would sabotage their ships so they couldn’t fight us, they’d have to spend their time bailing the ship out to keep it from sinking so they wouldn’t have the manpower to swing around and attack us. The ships were cheap, pirates wouldn’t waste money on cannons, instead using normal guns and intimidation to take over ships.

This happened another two times as we finished murdering everyone else. I spoke my opinion. “Wow, three out of fifty weren’t monsters. Not bad.” They were all very young with the youngest prepubescent. All of them would have been corrupted by this job. None wanted to be pirates but were forced into it by their families. Corruption is insidious and slow. One of them was already showing the signs. In another month he wouldn’t have been spared but now that he saw the consequences... He might be able to live a normal life. Well, as long as he can recover from having everyone he knew die around him and not go partially insane.

I sighed before asking. “Welp, they were already cooking dinner. Anyone mind if I grab a bowl of this delicious smelling stew?” I got several looks of shock as Sunspot puked from the sudden deaths. Rose just walked up before grabbing a ladle full and slurping. “Mmm. Nope, they didn’t sear the meat first. This was all just ingredients thrown in a pot.” She had a good eye to notice that. I asked. “Anyone call dibs on this island yet? It’s close enough it would make a sick club or casino for mutants to spend there money at.”
