XGO CHAPTER 10
🕑 Added 2025-04-11 10:28:27 +0000 UTCThe Danger Room was not a simple training arena.
It was a battlefield.
Steel walls towered around them, reinforced with the latest mutant-resistant materials. The floor shifted, adjusting its terrain mid-battle.
High above, automated cameras tracked every movement.
At the center stood Storm, Wolverine, Beast, and Colossus—four of the most experienced fighters the X-Men had.
Facing them, the younger students shifted uneasily.
The difference in skill was obvious.
Some, like Bobby and Rogue, looked determined.
Others, like Jubilee and Kurt, were already realizing just how bad this was going to be.
And then there was Alex.
Leaning against the back wall, arms crossed, watching.
Silent.
Storm's voice carried through the room, steady and unwavering.
"Power alone does not win battles. Coordination, control, and strategy do."
She gestured between the two groups.
"For today's exercise, we'll divide into two teams. Instructors versus students."
She paused before adding, "Your objective? Take us down."
Wolverine smirked, rolling his shoulders. "Give it your best shot, kids. Let's see what you got."
Bobby scoffed. "Oh, we're taking you down, old man."
Storm lifted a single hand.
The air shifted.
A deep alarm blared.
The fight had begun.
Kurt teleported instantly, appearing behind Beast, aiming a spinning kick.
Beast didn't even flinch.
He caught Kurt's ankle mid-air, spun, and hurled him across the room.
Kurt flipped mid-air, barely landing on his feet. "Ow—okay, that was embarrassing."
Bobby fired a blast of ice toward Wolverine.
Logan sliced through it effortlessly, his adamantium claws cutting through the frozen barrier as he sprinted forward.
"You're gonna have to try harder than that, bub!" he growled.
Jubilee fired off explosive energy blasts, but Storm flicked her wrist—
A sudden gust of wind sent them flying off-course.
Jubilee's eyes widened. "Oh, come on!"
The students were getting crushed.
They had power, but the instructors had experience.
And they were proving that experience won every time.
Provoking Alex
In the chaos, Riley, one of the younger mutants, turned toward Alex.
The older boy still hadn't moved.
His arms were still crossed. His expression unreadable.
Riley snapped.
"Are you even gonna fight, or just stand there and watch?!"
Alex didn't react immediately.
Then, slowly, he turned his head, meeting Riley's eyes.
His voice was calm, almost bored.
"I don't need the others to win this fight."
Riley scowled. "Oh yeah? Prove it!"
Wolverine smirked, overhearing the conversation. "Now this, I gotta see."
Alex exhaled.
He pressed the Omnitrix.
A pulse of energy rippled through the room.
The moment his hand touched the Omnitrix, a bright blue light engulfed him.
The air hummed, vibrating with raw power as his form shifted.
The light faded—
Revealing a new figure.
Sleek. Agile. Low to the ground.
Its limbs were long and built for speed.
A scarf-like membrane of flowing water coiled around its neck.
Its yellow eyes gleamed.
And then—
A sharp, confident voice echoed.
"Greninja!"
The Battle Shifts – A Predator in the Arena
Before anyone could react—
Greninja vanished.
One moment, he was standing still.
The next—
He was behind Wolverine.
Logan's eyes widened slightly. "What the—"
A knee slammed into his spine.
BAM!
The force sent Wolverine skidding across the ground.
Before he could recover—
Greninja was gone again.
Beast turned, trying to predict the movement. "He's fast—"
A blur of blue shot past him—
Greninja appeared mid-air, sword of water forming in his hands.
WATER SHURIKEN!
The glowing blade slashed toward Beast—he barely dodged in slow motion, the blade grazing past his cheek.
Storm's eyes widened.
Greninja flipped, dodging Colossus's massive punch at the last second, then countered with a spinning uppercut to Wolverine's jaw.
BOOM!
Logan staggered back, shaking his head.
Bobby's jaw dropped. "That's just unfair!"
The Instructors Stop Holding Back
For a moment—
It looked like Greninja was winning.
His speed, precision, and unpredictability let him overwhelm the instructors.
But that was about to end.
Storm raised her hand.
The air pressure changed.
Greninja froze for a split second.
And in that moment—
A lightning bolt shot down.
BOOM!
Greninja dodged—
But it grazed him.
Electricity crawled across his skin, slowing his movements.
Wolverine was already moving.
SNIKT!
His claws sliced toward Greninja's chest.
Greninja dodged—
Right into Beast's grip.
Before he could escape—
Colossus swung.
A devastating punch connected.
Greninja was sent flying.
He rolled across the ground.
But this time—
He got back up.
Wolverine smirked.
"Not bad, kid."
His eyes narrowed.
"You holdin' back?"
Greninja's eyes sharpened.
Logan smirked wider. "Or is this all you got?"
The air changed.
Greninja's form began to glow.
His scarf flared. His muscles tightened.
His eyes—
They burned red.
Logan's smirk faded. "What the hell—?"
A deep hum rippled through the room.
The Danger Room was in chaos.
A battle that had started as a simple training match had escalated into something far beyond expectations.
Alex, now in his Greninja form, had pushed the instructors to their limits—using unrivaled speed, illusions, and unpredictable attacks to overwhelm them.
For a moment, it seemed like he might actually win.
Wolverine provoked him.
And something changed.
Greninja crouched low, breathing heavily.
Wolverine's words hung in the air.
"This all you got?"
It was a challenge.
A taunt.
And Alex's blood boiled.
The air shifted.
A deep hum rippled through the battlefield.
The ground trembled slightly beneath Greninja's feet as his water scarf flared outward.
His body glowed softly, streams of water rising around him like floating ribbons.
Storm's eyes narrowed. "Something's happening."
Beast adjusted his glasses, analyzing the changes. "His energy output is increasing dramatically."
Colossus tensed, stepping forward. "Is this still part of the fight?"
Logan's smirk faded slightly.
"...What the hell?"
Then—
The water around Greninja EXPLODED outward.
A towering surge of liquid energy engulfed him, spinning wildly as his body began to change.
The scarf stretched longer, flaring into an X-shaped crest behind him.
His muscles tightened, his arms and legs gaining sharper definition.
His eyes burned with a fiery, red glow.
And his form pulsed with raw power.
Then, in a voice filled with ferocity—
"GRENINJA!!!"
Wolverine's instincts screamed DANGER.
Storm took a step back. "That's… not the same transformation."
Beast narrowed his eyes. "No… it's something more."
Colossus clenched his fists, readying himself.
But none of them had time to prepare.
Because Greninja moved.
Faster than before.
Much faster.
A Predator Among Prey
Greninja vanished.
One moment, he was standing in place—
The next, he was behind Colossus.
Before the giant could react—
Greninja leaped forward, spinning mid-air and delivering a devastating kick to the head.
BAM!
For the first time in the battle—Colossus staggered.
The students watching gasped.
"He knocked him back?!" Bobby exclaimed.
Beast launched forward, trying to grab him—
But Greninja blurred to the side, water spiraling around his legs as he skidded across the floor.
He twisted and unleashed a rapid barrage of Water Shurikens.
"GRENINJA!"
The spinning projectiles slammed into Beast, forcing him backward.
Before anyone could react—
A massive wall of water erupted from behind Greninja, surrounding him in a swirling vortex.
The water began to condense, twist, shape itself.
Logan's eyes narrowed. "That's new."
The vortex shrank—
Until it solidified into a massive, glowing Shuriken attached to Greninja's back.
The Deadliest Move – The Final Shuriken
The battle should have ended already.
This was just training.
But Alex wasn't stopping.
Not yet.
Not until he won.
Storm, recognizing the danger, lifted her hands. "Enough! This is—"
But before she could finish—
Greninja raised one hand.
The Shuriken detached from his back.
Then it began spinning.
Faster.
Faster.
The glow intensified, shifting from blue to golden.
Wind screamed around the battlefield as the energy in the room swirled violently.
A deep hum filled the air.
"Uh…" Bobby took a step back. "I think this is way past training now."
Beast's face turned serious. "That attack… if he throws it, the simulation room won't hold."
Greninja's hand trembled slightly, holding the giant, glowing weapon.
He twisted his wrist, preparing to launch it.
This was the end.
The finishing blow.
BEEP.
A single, sharp noise echoed through the arena.
A red light flashed across Greninja's body.
Then another.
Then another.
The Omnitrix on his wrist flickered violently, warning alarms ringing.
Greninja froze.
The Shuriken wavered, the golden glow flickering.
Then—
The Omnitrix flashed a violent red.
A pulse of energy rippled outward.
Greninja's form began to dissolve into swirling blue particles.
The massive Shuriken disintegrated into water, collapsing into the floor in a harmless splash.
Alex dropped to one knee, gasping as the last remnants of the transformation faded.
He was back.
Human.
His body trembled slightly from exhaustion.
The room was silent.
No one spoke.
Then—
Wolverine let out a breath.
"Well…" he muttered. "That was dramatic."
Storm's arms were crossed, but her expression wasn't angry—
It was calculating.
"What just happened?" she asked.
Alex didn't answer immediately.
He stared at his wrist, where the Omnitrix's symbol had returned to its normal blue glow.
Then, finally—
He stood up.
And walked away.
Without a word.
As Alex disappeared from the room, the remaining X-Men stood in silence.
The students didn't know what to say.
Jean exhaled. "I don't think that was just a normal transformation."
Beast adjusted his glasses. "No… it wasn't."
Storm looked toward Logan. "Did you feel it?"
Logan clenched his fists, remembering the pure intensity of Alex's presence when he evolved.
"Yeah," he muttered. "That wasn't just a power boost."
He turned toward the door where Alex had left.
"That was something else entirely."
A moment later, the training alarm turned off.
The battle was officially over.
