The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Nemuri]

I was feeling pure bliss because of all the pain of love coursing through my body. I just wanted to get naked and relax under the sun but I have some important things to do before I can relax. I finally arrived in front of the facility where the rest of our space group was being kept. ​​

After the news of their imprisonment came out, SHIELD moved them into a new location. I really wanted to force the government to release them but I think it would be much better if I do it secretly... I have heard from Reo that SHIELD's director is a paranoid bastard and he might connect the dots...

Even though I was walking slightly bow-legged, I wouldn't mind another passionate night like that... Ah... I loved how Reo dominated me... My whole body shivered in excitement. I appeared in front of the facility.. and frowned. I never understood why SHIELD uses abandoned buildings for their bases in cities... Lights in abandoned buildings will always make people curious...

It's time to use Alter now... Her ability to travel through shadows will be really useful.

A copy of myself rose out of my shadow... She wasn't exactly a copy though... her skin tone was slightly darker than mine and instead of deep purple like mine... She had lavender-colored hair. Instead of nine, she only had one tail swishing behind her back...

"Wass up Queen?? (A/N: Not a typo) Last night was awesome if you ask me!! My King is really awesome!!" Alter said with stars in her eyes. I simply smirked after hearing her worship Reo.

"It's good that you feel like that about him..." I said and she gasped after hearing me... she looked at me like I said something blasphemous.

"Of course, Queen. No matter the difference in our attitude... both of us are the same... My feelings regarding him are the same as yours" Alter pointed out. I had to concede to that point.

"True... No arguments there" I said with a smile. "Now... I need you to do something for..." I didn't even get to finish before she cut me off.

"Yeah... I know. I need to find where those fools are and then call you... If they agree then, you will take them with you while I slaughter everyone else in that building and if they don't agree, then, I would have to persuade after slaughtering everyone in that building" Alter said while nodding her head.

Sometimes I forget that both of us are the same beings and she is a part of me when she is in me... Hmm... That didn't sound very nice... Only Reo can be inside me if you are not counting tongues!! "Yes... That's right" I said and Alter saluted me and dissolved into my shadow.

[POV Alter]

As soon as Queen confirmed the order, I dissolved into her shadow and went to find the targets. It didn't even take me more than a minute to skim through the whole building and locate everyone's position. I have also found the location of those five fools.

They are being kept separately in glass cells inside a huge room, the room was under constant surveillance... but nothing my Queen can't deal with. Now, that my job is done for now... I quickly returned to my Queen so that I can give her my memories... It's much better than telling her slowly... I slowly rose out of her shadow and stood beside her.

"Already done?" Queen asked me with and she raised her eyebrow in my direction.

I snorted... "Hah...!! It was so easy that it wasn't even funny... They only have meta-human sensors around the place but I am not a meta-human" I said with a huge grin on my face.

"Oh... It's good that you had some fun. Now, tell me what did you find" Queen asked me and I simply started passing on my memories to her. She had absolute control over my being... So, if she wanted she could have seen my memories without permission and I wouldn't have minded because she is my Queen but I like my Queen because she even considers my opinion, which is completely unnecessary.

These small things are the difference between a tyrant and a good ruler... Though I am still annoyed that she didn't call me when she was torturing the Hand members... I also loved my Queen's car and I also wanted to punish them for trying to harm my Queen but Queen said that she wanted to do it on her own to show that she wasn't weak... I was brought out of my thoughts when Queen finally finished assimilating my memories.

"Hmm... Let's go Alter... stay in my shadow, you don't need to merge with me right now" Queen said and once again I saluted her.

"As you wish my Queen" I said with a huge grin on my face and slowly melted into her shadow. Queen casted some illusions on herself and with a swish she appeared in the huge room where those five fools were being kept. Queen continued casting illusions around their cages so that no one would notice that they are talking with someone.

In a matter of seconds Queen was done... and she finally dropped the illusion she had casted on herself. "Hello... How have you been my friends?" Queen greeted them with a malevolent smile on her face... A smile appropriate for a Queen.

"You...!!" a man with black hair shot up his bed and screamed at Queen while pointing his finger towards her. I don't like him but my Queen's sister Luna said that he was important for the future so I can't kill him, that is the only reason why Victor von Doom is still alive.

"Nemuri, you just appeared out of thin air... That means you also received powers?" Susan Storm said with a questioning look on her face.

"You can say that..." Queen said with a huge grin on her face.

"Then how are you able to fool their sensors?? From what I have seen, it is impossible to go around them" Reed Richards spoke entering his scientist mode. I also feel pity for poor Susan... she spends most of her time babysitting these big babies.

"Forget all that SHIT!! Can you get us out?" Benjamin asked in an excited tone... I am quite glad that not all of them are stupid.

"You look hot though... Just like me, pity, I can't show you my fire..." Jonathan said in a flirting tone... that was really cringing... If I was in his place then I would have already died in shame. I also wanted to kill this fool for flirting with my Queen but all of them are needed for the future and can't be killed at this moment.

"I am really happy to see that all of you are fine" Queen said with a grin. "As all of you might have already noticed, the five of you are nothing more than lab rats for the government..." Queen said and she was cut off rudely by Doom... I also wanted to cut off Doom but I meant it quite literally.

"Then how did you get out?? Did you sacrifice us for your and Munroe's safety?" Doom sneered.

"Do you really think I would need to sell a pathetic insect like you so that I can go free?" Queen said and burst out laughing. All five of them were shocked to see the sudden change in Queen's demeanor.

"You must be a bigger fool than I had thought... Do you know that you are only alive because you are a business investment and killing you would just be a waste when I already own you" Queen said with a grin sending chills down all of their spines. I love it when the Queen is acting like that!!! So cool... This is why she is my role model.

"Nemuri... What are saying??" Susan asked with a confused look on her face.

"Oh... Let me explain nicely... You see, when I made the contract I entered a small phrase in there..." Queen said and pulled the contract out of her pocket and showed it to everyone. When they saw what was written in there they paled except for Doom who was gritting his teeth.

"That is useless now... You can't force us to work for you, after all, there is no way that the government would let us go... even you know that" Doom said while sneering at my Queen.

"True... That is why I am here... You see, I free you... All of you if you agree that you are going to work for me..." Queen said while smiling like a devil who was about to get her claws into innocent lambs.

"It's not like we have any other options!!" Benjamin screamed in anger but he wasn't angry at Queen though. "There is no way that these people would ever let us go... and I am only a human because they are suppressing my powers... Or I would have been that stoney monster" he continued ranting but this time he sounded completely defeated.

"Even though, after leaving I am going to be a monster... I want to be free..." Benjamin continued speaking while looking towards Queen but Queen cut him off before he could finish.

"You don't have to worry about that... We have our own suppressors... So, if you want you can use them and keep yourself as you were before you transformed" Queen said with a smile on her face. I could already tell that this fool was already sold.

"Then I agree to go with you" Benjamin said with a relieved sigh on his face.

"Ben... Don't be hasty... We can't make this decision lightly..." Reed started to spout his bullshit once again but Benjamin cut him off.

"Yeah... Right. Like we have any more options... We have already concluded that these people won't let us go until they get all of our secrets and you don't turn into a monster like me... So don't tell me what decision I should make!!" Benjamin screamed in anger while glaring at Reed.

"Reed... I think Benjamin is right. Look... there isn't anything to lose if we decide to go with her but I have one question..." Susan said and looked towards Queen who gestured her to continue. "I know that if we go with you then the government won't stop looking for us... Do we have to spend our lives on the run?" Susan asked Queen and I really wanted to laugh out loud... Is she insane?

"You don't have to worry about them anymore if you decide to come with me... After all, we will be going to a place where only people like us are allowed to enter" Queen said cryptically but I am sure that everyone understood what Queen wanted to say.

"...Elysium" Susan murmured under her breath and a huge smile bloomed on Benjamin's face. They knew that in Elysium they would be able to live freely without worrying about the government and their stooges. Even though they knew nothing about Elysium... they knew that it was a safe haven for meta-humans and that was enough for them at this moment.

"If I agree then you have to take my brother too" Susan said.

"Are you sure about this sister?" Jonathan asked his sister in a serious tone and she simply nodded her head while biting her lower lip.

"Then I will be going to Elysium with you" Jonathan said while nodding his head. Reed still looked unsure of what to do while Doom was gritting his teeth in anger.

"I don't have the whole day so you two need to make the decision right now..." Queen said seriously while looking towards Doom and Reed. Queen waved her hand and vanished the glass walls of three cells. Benjamin, Susan, and Jonathan came towards my Queen and stood beside her.

"...I will stay..." Reed said with a conflicted look on his face. Well, good for us then... I never liked that whiny brat... He might have a brain but he is still stupid and whiny...

"There is no way in hell that I will work under you" Doom said with a sneer on his face. Queen simply smirked and pointed her finger towards Reed. A white light shot out of her finger and it passed through the glass and hit Reed on his chest.

"What was that?" Doom asked while he stepped back.

"That was to stop him from telling anything that happened here..." Queen said with a shrug and shot another white light from her finger but this time her target was Doom. The light hit Doom on his back when he tried to run away.

"This won't harm either of you... It will just stop you from telling the others about the things I have said and happened here... I wish you good luck" With that Queen silenced their cells and started pull out a Portkey from her pocket.

"Grab this... It will take you to Elysium" Queen said and gave the three of them the Portkey. Susan looked towards Reed and Doom for the last time and grabbed the Portkey with her brother. Benjamin was the first to grab the Portkey and after that Queen activated the Portkey and the three of them were whisked away.

"Alter... You know what to do... I am going back... I need to relax" Queen said while stretching and I slowly rose out of her shadow. After I was out of her shadow, Queen Flash Stepped away from this place.

I looked towards Reed and Doom and waved at them. "Both of you still have some uses so I won't be killing either of you" I said and turned around and a vicious grin appeared on my face.

[Sacred Garden, Kerguelen Islands]

"Oh no... This is very bad... Biry needs to inform Mistress about this... Biry is a good house-elf and she won't allow Missy Ravenclaws Sacred Garden to be dirtied (A/N: Did you see that wordplay I did right there)" Biry the house-elf said to the other house-elves who have gathered together to discuss about the people outside their wards.

They could feel that these people outside the wards wanted to break into their Mistress's favorite place. They can't allow something like that to happen so they decided to discuss the best course of action.

"Yes, Sappy agrees with Biry, Biry must inform the Mistress as soon as possible" another house-elf named Sappy agreed and all house-elves nodded their heads.

"Then Biry will be going" Biry said and popped to Elysium so that she can inform her Mistress about this upcoming danger to her Sacred Garden (A/N: Pun intended)...
