The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[Kamar-Taj, Nepal]

The Ancient One finally appeared in her room through the portal and Luna followed her while skipping. The Ancient One didn't know what to think about this woman named Luna Lovegood, the woman seemed to be quite eccentric. It is not that the Ancient One was scared but she was still wary of this woman. ​​

The Ancient One finally sat down in her usual place and Luna followed her example and sat down. The Ancient One waved her hand and tea appeared on the table along with two cups. The Ancient One might not know what to do with this woman but she would treat her like a guest.

The Ancient One poured tea for herself and Luna, Luna happily accepted the tea. Both of them remain silent, The Ancient One was looking at the woman in front of her intently, trying to discern anything about this woman while Luna was dreamily humming some song while sipping her tea.

"So, how can I help you?" the Ancient One was the first to break the ice.

"I don't need your help, I just wanted to become your friend. I have seen you are quite lonely and sad" Luna said in a sad tone. The Ancient One was quite surprised to hear that. The Ancient One has lived for more than 7 centuries, her ability to read people was quite strong. That is the reason why the Ancient One was surprised…

From the expression, Luna had on her face, the Ancient One was quite sure that this woman was genuinely feeling sad for her or Luna was the best actor she has met in her extremely long life. For now, the Ancient One decided to trust Luna, it was not like that she could act against this woman, after all, from what she had seen, Luna was quite close to that being.

"I have to say that I am quite surprised to hear that, for quite a long time nobody had approached me to become my friend" the Ancient One answered with a smile on her face.

"Oh, yes, I know that. So, that thing helps you to see the future?" Luna said and aked the Ancient One while pointing towards the Eye of Agamotto.

Ancient One immediately became guarded against Luna, she was quite sure that she had never mentioned anything about the Eye of Agamotto in front of that being or this woman.

"Oh, sorry, I must have surprised you. Well, like you, I also can see the future but I don't need any kind of artifact to do that" Luna said with a dreamy look on her face but the Ancient One didn't lower her guard.

"Why are you telling me this? Wasn't it better to keep that as a secret?" the Ancient One asked Luna who just smiled innocently in return.

"No, I know that you are not a bad person, if you were then I would have never come with you and it is true I want to be your friend and friends should trust each other… I told you the truth because I wanted to show you that I trust you and I have already seen myself doing that in my visions" Luna said in a gentle tone. The Ancient One finally lowered her guard and relaxed.

"Oh! Can I have some potato chips too?" Luna asked the Ancient One in a cheerful voice. The Ancient One just waved her hand and a bag of potato chips appeared in front of Luna. Luna happily thanked the Ancient One and started to munch on the chips.

"So, you can see the future like me?" the Ancient One asked while taking a sip from her cup.

"Yes, along with the past and sideways" Luna said in a happy tone.

"Sideways?" the Ancient One asked in confusion.

"Oh, yes, there are multiple possibilities, there are several different realities too, minor things never matter but it could… like when I asked you for the chips, it was inconsequential, but when I spoke about that stone if you would have stood up… we might have become enemies in the future" Luna explained to the Ancient One who just dumbly nodded.

The Ancient One knew about the multiple possibilities but she never knew about different realities or sideways.

"In some realities, you had died long ago, in some others, you destroy the whole world, while in some others you brought ruin to many planets and civilizations, while in some you were just a simple housewife with a family" Luna spoke while munching on the chips. The Ancient One paid rapt attention to what Luna was saying.

The Ancient One knew about several dimensions but what Luna had told her meant that there were parallel universes and in some, she wasn't the Sorcerer Supreme, it was quite a revelation to her.

"Do you want to see another world?" suddenly Luna asked the Ancient One, breaking her out of her thoughts. The Ancient One was quite surprised by the sudden offer… it is not like she had never seen another world but something told her that if she accepted the offer it would be a completely different experience for her.

The Ancient One decided to take the leap of faith but before she could agree she decided to ask an important question "Will I be able to return?" the Ancient One asked.

"Of course, silly" Luna said like it was a funny joke. The Ancient One agreed, Luna extended her hand and the Ancient One took Luna's hand, and just after a second, both disappeared from that place.

Both Ancient One and Luna appeared in a modern world, the place was quite advanced. The Ancient One was really surprised, shocked, and awed. She could still feel her connection to the Dark Dimension but she wasn't able to feel any connection to her planet… or her own Earth.

"What is this place?" the Ancient One asked looking around the tall buildings and flying cars. Every building was filled with neon lights and huge displays. Suddenly the Ancient One froze when she saw herself on a TV but she knew that this wasn't her. The TV version of her had a black mohawk on her head along with different eyes.

(A/N: Now many of you would ask, how can Luna teleport to another world and if she could do that why she kept asking Reo to bring Attila, the answer is at that time her teleportation ability was way weaker. Like Nemuri herself sold gold biscuits but later she started to crave gold objects when her bloodline activated)

"This is a parallel world… this is one of the better worlds. In this world, you decided to rule over the Earth, after you became the Empress this world only developed towards the future… even though you ruled with an iron fist there is not a single person who would dare to usurp you" Luna said with a smile and skipped around.

The Ancient One now only noticed that they were standing in the air "which year is it?" the Ancient One asked in a curious tone.

"Believe me or not, this is the 15th century" Luna declared with a smile. The Ancient One was stunned silent. The Ancient One also found she wasn't able to use her Eye of Agamotto in this world.

"That stone has no relevance here so it won't work, let's go back" Luna said, the Ancient One agreed because she felt quite powerless in here and both disappeared from that world and arrived back in Kamar-Taj, inside the Ancient One's room.

"Luna, I have to say, today was quite enlightening for me" the Ancient One said with a smile. The Ancient One would have never have known about these worlds if it wasn't for Luna, yes, it was true that she was unable to interact with that world but that was fine. After all, she had long forgotten her passion for knowledge but that passion once again awakened inside her. She might not be able to visit those worlds again but she could at least write about her experience…

Who knows someday someone might be able to visit those parallel worlds…

[Xavier Mansion, New York]

While Luna and the Ancient One were having their fun bonding, everyone had become restless in the Xavier Mansion after they had heard the announcement of Leviathan from the radio. They were happy that someone was trying to save them but they were also facing a problem… because they heard the announcement on the radio but they did not get the names of the locations.

Only one person living in the Xavier Mansion was not happy after hearing the announcement. He felt devastated when he heard what that person did to the humans and what he would do in the future if his demands were ignored and mutants were hurt. The person's name was Charles Xavier, he might be a mutant but he always cared about the humans more. That is the reason why he always took the human's side when mutants were captured and experimented on.

Charles Xavier knew that he would never be successful in his attempt at peace between humans and mutants but he had long vowed to never hurt humans using his powers and he would be damned if he would allow someone from his side to harm the humans… he needed to do something and do it quickly. He knew most of the mutants living in his mansion would leave and throughout this week he had lost much of his grace among the others.

There was only one person in this mansion who would follow his orders no matter what they are. Scott Summers, Charles immediately sent Scott a mental message to meet him.

Only after a few seconds, Scott arrived in front of Charles.

"Scott, I have a very important mission for you, I assume that you heard the announcement?" Charles asked Scott who nodded his head.

"We can't let that happen, we must stop this Leviathan from harming the humans" Charles said in a grave tone.'

"Professor, I completely agree with you" Scott said in a determined tone. Hearing him a smile appeared on Charles's face.

"I want you to go with the others, get as much as information you can. I will stay here and relay the information to the authorities. Scott this is a very important mission for you… we can't allow Leviathan to succeed" Charles continued to speak in a solemn tone.

"Professor, I won't disappoint you" Scott declared and left the room. Charles smiled proudly while watching Scott walk away…
