A snap of his fingers rang out once more.....
X and nezu appeared in front of the soldiers and scientists who had gathered.
Reality became distorted and everything returned to normal.
"Damn! It's X!" whispered most of the people present, because it was the first time they had seen it in real life and not on a poster or a screen. "Damn! It's X!" whispered most of the people present, because it was the first time they had seen him in real life and not on a poster or a screen.
The head of the U.S. Army gave a military salute with respect and deference.
"Hero X... I am delighted to see you again," he said with extreme seriousness.
The man in the white suits laughed as he gently placed nezu on the floor.
"Come on sir, there's no need to be so strict, relax" laughs X, shaking his hand.
Most of those present looked at him in disbelief.
They knew only of him that he was an invincible hero, a god who fought threats beyond their imagination....
They didn't expect such a powerful being to be so accessible...
"If you intervene in person, it is because there is no point in continuing this project," said the head of the US army with a resigned sigh.
"Exactly, my friend," X smiled softly as he put his hands in his pockets.
"What do you mean?!? You're really going to cancel this project just because of this vigilante on the fringes of ?!? society," Adam buttgereit cried angrily.
"This vigilante as you call him is number 0 on the leaderboard, he is the most powerful and important hero, he saved humanity from extreme threats. I don't want to make an enemy of him," said the head of the American army gravely, glaring at Buttgereit.
Adam gave him a look filled with hatred. Nezu watched the scientist with cynical satisfaction.
"Sir!" cried a beautiful green-haired woman as she rushed towards the rat. She crouched down towards him, a relieved smile on her lips.
"Midoriya ?!?!," Adam buttgereit cried with wide eyes in rage.
"Midoriya?" X was surprised, raising an eyebrow.
The other scientists looked at each other, not understanding the whole mess.
The scientist called midoriya stood up and bowed to X.
"thank you X, thank you very much for your help" she said.
"It's nothing, but can someone explain it to me?" asked X, turning his head towards nezu.
"Well, I've been his accomplice for a long time, I couldn't stand the torture inflicted on him and I decided to help him. We're planning to escape tonight but fortunately you intervened!" smiled Midoriya greatly as she grabbed X's hands.
"Wow!! Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!! I shake the hand of hero X, it's the happiest day of my life! It seems that you are immortal, how many Quirks do you have? My name is ikumi midoriya!! And...."
She began to mumble again and again with onomatopoeias of her words that hit X.
He laughed, this woman was very interesting....
"Would you like to calm down, Midoriya?" asked Nezu with a serene smile.
"Yes, sir!" cried Ikumi, calming down immediately.
The eyes of Buttgereit and the scientists widened.
"You're talking ?!?" they shouted.
Nezu ignored them and walked towards the head of the U.S. Army. He may have been hurt, but he exuded a certain authority and undeniable charisma from him.
X smiled, admiring the presence of this little animal.
"Sir, if you are interested, I offer my services for the analysis of the Alters. I want to be compensated for what I went through, of course your little secrets will be safe and you will have the best possible analyses. So, is the deal done? "asked the animal with the white fur with a cynical smile that sent shivers down everyone's spine.
"He's dangerous..." thought the head of the American army, sharpening his gaze.
"Who do you think you are?!? Dirty animal !!" Screamed buttgereit as he pressed the button on the remote control that triggered electric shocks at nezu.
But nothing happened....
"Unfortunately for you buttgereit, I disabled this collar. You howl a lot, like a dog, it's pitiful" sneered nezu with total contempt for the human in front of him.
"Filthy beast !!!" Buttgereit yelled as he rushed towards nezu who remained motionless.
"Stop him!!" the head of the U.S. Army shouted to his group.
Suddenly, a snap of his fingers rang out.
Adam buttgereit then found himself fragmented into Lego bricks that scattered on the ground.
"You're screaming too loudly, staying like this for a few minutes will do you good" says X calmly.
Nezu smiled simply, a chilling smile.
"What power..." Ikumi thought as she watched X out of the corner of his eye with admiration and fascination.
Nezu thanked X with his head and number 0 smiled at him with a thumbs up.
"So sir, do we have a deal?" the rat asked with a serene smile.
The head of the American army observed him. He was stuck, the rat had compromising information about them and the icing on the cake, X himself seemed to be on his side.
He could only comply with his demands...
"Very good... I accept, uh..."
"Nezu" smiles the animal softly as he extends his hand diplomatically.
Ikumi rushed over and lifted nezu to be at the height of the man.
The two shake hands, sealing their contract.
"Your analyses will be very useful to us, Nezu," said the head of the US Army in a serious and impersonal tone.
"Thank you, if you don't mind, I would also like this military base, it will be very useful to me," Nezu said.
The head of the U.S. Army nodded.
"Do as you please, this base is of no use to us now" he replied before greeting X with a nod.
He ordered his group to leave the place, he had an important message to deliver to the head of state.
After they left, the other scientists were petrified with horror. They watched the Lego pieces, the body of their boss, lying on the floor like a totally dismantled toy.
"If you want him to come back to life, you can reassemble him piece by piece," X smiles mischievously as he readjusts his glasses.
The scientists watched with concern, some were already picking up Lego pieces.
X laughed at their condition before approaching nezu who was being treated by Ikumi.
"What are you going to do now?" the man asked softly, smiling at the animal, which smiled back at him.
"I have a lot of projects, now that I'm free, I intend to impose myself on this society and become a very influential person" says the rat while Ikumi smiles with happiness.
"I am sure that you will get there, and you can count on me, we are friends now..." X said softly, patting him on the head.
Nezu looked at him with eyes filled with gratitude.
"Friends huh..." Nezu thought with a small smile.
"Would you like to explain your Quirk to me?" asked Nezu.
"It would be too complicated, even for a being as intelligent as you" laughed X as ikumi sulked in a corner.
"Is it a challenge?" asked Nezu with a dark smile.
"You're really terrifying, I like you, little creature" X said with a smirk.
He looked at his watch and smiled with joy.
"I still have three minutes before my Breaking Bad series starts, do you want to watch it with me?" asked the white-haired man with a warm smile.
" No , I prefer historical documentaries and I'm busy anyway," smiled Nezu.
"I would have liked to, but I prefer romantic series like The Brigderton Chronicles or the Affair or One day,Downton Abbey and..."
She began to mumble again and again, citing the hundreds of series she had watched.
X and nezu shared a half-amused, half-exasperated look.
In a few years, Nezu would be a true pillar of heroic society, a symbol of renewal in the scientific and strategic field....
He revolutionized education by creating the very first superhero school....
It was also after a few years that another symbol appeared and who marked the beginning of what was to be called "the golden age of heroism"
Are you impatient? So....
To be continued.....
