Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Weapon Eleven
As the 20th century progressed, Earth entered a period of rapid development. However, the conflict between mutants and humans only grew increasingly intense. To keep mutants firmly under control, the U.S. government, represented by Major William Stryker, collaborated with the Canadian government to establish the "Weapon X Program." The purpose of this program was to transform mutants into weapons serving the government.
Victor Creed, also known as Sabretooth, and Logan, also known as Wolverine, both joined the Weapon X Program. Logan, in particular, underwent modifications that granted him an indestructible adamantium skeleton and claws.
After these experiments, Wolverine's power increased dramatically. With his accelerated healing ability, unbreakable claws, and unparalleled combat instincts, he became a fearsome super-soldier—Weapon Ten!
However, during the moment of success, Wolverine regained consciousness ahead of schedule. To avoid the tragedy of having his memories erased, he fought his way out of the laboratory and escaped the isolated island.
To deal with the escaped Wolverine, Stryker deployed his special forces to hunt him down while continuing to develop even stronger mutants. During the time before Alex and Wolverine arrived at the island, Stryker succeeded in creating a warrior even more powerful than Wolverine—Weapon Eleven!
Weapon Eleven was a masterpiece. His body possessed extraordinary swordsmanship, capable of deflecting bullets from dozens of machine guns with just two blades. His physical combat skills were exceptional, and after undergoing experimentation, he acquired Wolverine's regenerative healing ability, Cyclops' optic blast, and teleportation abilities akin to a ghost. Truly, he was the perfect warrior.
However, as the saying goes, "No one is perfect." Just as Major Stryker described, "If only he could keep that incessantly talking mouth shut, he'd be flawless."
Indeed, this physically formidable warrior was a natural-born chatterbox. His sharp tongue offended people faster than he could make friends (calling Sabretooth's claws "girly nails" was one of his stunts). Frustrated by this, Stryker had his mouth sewn shut during the modification experiments, turning him into a silent killing machine.
And so, the final appearance of Weapon Eleven was the figure standing before Alex now!
Of course, Alex, who was never particularly interested in American comics, had no idea just how terrifying the figure before him was!
The two warriors faced each other, neither making the first move. As master swordsmen with unparalleled techniques, they awaited the moment the other revealed a flaw.
Meanwhile, the young mutant used an adamantium dagger to effortlessly slice through the metal cages, freeing the imprisoned mutants. One or two dozen mutants huddled together, silently watching the tense standoff between the two combatants.
Time ticked by...
"Shinmyo-ryu: Quick-Draw Technique!"
Alex suddenly roared, breaking the stalemate and launching the first strike.
Alex's swordsmanship, imparted by Ghost Eye, was unmatched in finesse. Knowing that his stamina could not rival Weapon Eleven's strong foundation, Alex wisely decided to strike first, catching his opponent off guard.
The adamantium blade in Alex's hand transformed into a bright, fleeting illusion. A dazzling flash of light illuminated the battlefield as the razor-sharp blade slashed through the air with blinding speed. The air itself seemed to screech under the blade's momentum, producing a sharp "shhh-shhh" sound as it cut relentlessly toward Weapon Eleven.
"Clang!"
Just as Alex's adamantium blade was about to strike Weapon Eleven, a sharp blade suddenly intercepted it, colliding with Alex's strike mid-air.
Upon closer inspection, it was one of Weapon Eleven's blades extending seamlessly from his right hand. The motion was smooth, fluid, and without the slightest hesitation!
"Incredible! Both of them are incredible!"
Blinding sparks erupted as the two blades collided, sending shivers through the hearts of the watching mutants. None of them had imagined that swordsmanship could reach such terrifying heights.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Though Weapon Eleven successfully blocked Alex's Quick-Draw Technique, the immense force caused him to retreat several meters, only coming to a halt after taking over ten steps backward.
During their clash, Weapon Eleven had immediately felt a jarring shock in his palm, almost as if it would tear his hand apart. Yet, through his superior combat instincts, he quickly dispersed the force evenly across his arm, preventing any serious injury despite retreating multiple steps.
"He's no ordinary opponent," Alex thought, his wariness increasing. Having undergone years of physical enhancement, Alex's strikes carried immense power, with each casual blow capable of exerting hundreds of kilograms of force. For Weapon Eleven to emerge unscathed after taking such an attack was proof of his extraordinary strength.
Suddenly, Weapon Eleven crouched low and lunged forward, his dual blades slicing through the air as they whirled toward Alex with lethal precision.
"Clang! Clang!"
Sparks erupted again as Alex countered with two powerful swings of his adamantium blade, meeting Weapon Eleven head-on. Their clash sent a thunderous force rippling through the air, but Weapon Eleven didn't falter, continuing to press his assault.
Alex seized an opening, lunging forward with a piercing stab aimed straight at Weapon Eleven's chest. His attack was as fast and fierce as a falling meteor, with destructive force that could penetrate even steel walls.
The blade sank into Weapon Eleven's chest with a sickening "thud."
"Got him!"
Joy flashed through Alex's heart as he prepared to twist the blade and tear through Weapon Eleven's chest. However, he caught sight of his opponent's calm, confident eyes and immediately sensed something was wrong. He attempted to pull back his blade, only to realize it was firmly trapped between Weapon Eleven's two swords.
"Bang!"
Before Alex could react, Weapon Eleven delivered a vicious kick to his chest, sending him hurtling backward. He crashed to the ground with a heavy impact, his body wracked with pain as his internal organs churned.
Weapon Eleven advanced relentlessly, his twin blades carving through the air toward Alex's prone form.
"Clang!"
Summoning all his strength, Alex blocked the strike just in time, rolling to the side to regain his footing. His sharp gaze fell on Weapon Eleven's chest wound, now completely healed without a trace.
"No wonder he doesn't dodge—he has a healing ability just like Wolverine. And on top of that, he possesses multiple mutant powers..."
Realizing the extent of Weapon Eleven's capabilities, Alex gripped his sword tightly, preparing for the next exchange. A silent determination burned in his eyes as the fierce battle resumed.
