The X-Men arrived at the battlefield, their hurried steps coming to an abrupt halt as their eyes widened in disbelief.

The cavern, once a fortified base, was now in complete ruin. Jagged cracks ran along the rocky walls, large chunks of debris scattered across the ground. A massive hole had been blasted into the cave's ceiling, allowing pale moonlight to spill through, illuminating the devastation below.

But none of that compared to what they saw next.

Ten defeated Sentinels lay sprawled across the battlefield, their once-menacing forms now nothing more than lifeless wreckage. Their thick armor had been torn apart, molten metal dripping from gaping wounds. Some had massive claw marks running through them, while others had scorch marks seared into their frames, their circuits fried beyond repair.

"Impossible…" Beast muttered, his scientific mind struggling to process what lay before him. "We struggled with one, and he—"

Jean's breath hitched. "He took down ten... alone."

But that wasn't all.

In the center of the destruction stood Aiden.

Or at least, what they assumed was Aiden.

His small frame was bathed in an ethereal azure light, his very presence exuding an overwhelming power that sent shivers down their spines. His hair, once dark, now shimmered in a radiant blue hue, as if infused with divine energy. Faint, translucent dragon scales lined his skin, glowing softly.

The legendary Master of Magnetism—one of the most powerful mutants in history—was kneeling before Aiden, his helmet gone, his once-proud figure reduced to a battered, half-burnt shell of itself. His cape was scorched, his metal armor warped and twisted, his once-commanding presence completely shattered.

Magneto's hands were trembling, his breaths ragged. Blood dripped from a wound on his forehead, trailing down the side of his face, mixing with the soot and ash that clung to his skin. His entire body was barely holding itself together.

"Erik…" Charles muttered, his voice barely above a whisper.

Charles stepped forward, positioning himself in front of the X-Men as he spoke with a firm yet pleading tone.

"Enough, Aiden! It's over! We've saved Rogue! There's no need for this much destruction. We can hand all of them over to the authorities! I promise you, Erik will be put in a special cell devoid of any metals or anything he could manipulate. It's over, son."

Aiden tilted his head, his glowing azure eyes locking onto Charles with an eerie calmness. Then, a smirk formed on his face.

"What's over? Oh… Let me guess. You want me to let him live?"

Charles' expression turned desperate. "Aiden, if you don't let him live, you'll only become another him! Please!"

Aiden chuckled. "Another him? Now, that's a good idea."

Without hesitation, divine light shone from his hand, and in a flash, Magneto's hands were severed.

"AGHHHHHHHHHH!!"

Erik's agonized scream echoed through the cavern, his body trembling as he fell onto his knees. Blood gushed from the stumps where his hands had once been. His silver hair was matted with sweat and ash, his face contorted in unbearable pain. He glared up at Aiden, his fury barely masking his agony.

"Y-You… JUST KILL ME, YOU MONSTER!"

Charles gasped in horror. "Aiden, stop! It's enough!" He moved forward, desperate to reach him, but—

A pillar of radiant light descended from the heavens, striking the ground between them. The impact cracked the earth, sending a wave of heat through the air. The X-Men instinctively backed away, shielding their eyes from the brilliance of Aiden's divine power.

Aiden's voice rang out, cold and absolute.

"Anyone who crosses that line will be treated just like him."

Beast's hands clenched into fists. "Why are you doing this, Aiden? You're better than this!"

The X-Men hesitated. The sheer pressure of Aiden's power made their every instinct scream at them to stay put.

But Scott 'Cyclops' wasn't having it.

His visor glowed ominously as he snarled, "You're just going to turn into a murdering fucking monster!"

Aiden didn't even look at him. A wave of water surged from the ground, crashing into Scott like a raging tsunami, sending him slamming into the cavern wall with a sickening crack. His body went limp as he passed out instantly.

Jean gasped. "NO! SCOTT—!"

Her powers flared in an instant. Crimson energy crackled around her, her hair lifting from the sheer force of her unleashed power.

But before she could make a move—

Aiden appeared right in front of her.

His hand gently cupped her chin, tilting her face toward him. His glowing azure eyes bore into hers with an unreadable expression.

"Know your place, Phoenix. You're in the Presence of Divine Punishment."

Twin beams of light shot from his fingertips, striking both sides of her temples.

Jean's body stiffened, her eyes rolling back as she let out a soft gasp. Then... she collapsed.

The battlefield fell into silence.

Aiden turned his gaze back to Magneto.

Logan snarled, his adamantium claws unsheathing.

"It must be somethin' to do with that weird form of his," he growled.

Aiden turned toward the remaining X-Men, his smirk returning.

"You're correct… It does. But that doesn't mean I'm not acting like myself."

He gestured toward Magneto, and suddenly...

The air howled.

A ferocious gust of wind lifted Magneto's battered body into the air, holding him aloft like a ragdoll. His limbs trembled, his breathing ragged.

Then, his body began to tear apart.

The X-Men watched in horror as Aiden's power ripped Magneto's flesh piece by piece, yet somehow, he remained alive... conscious... through it all because Aiden wanted him to!

Aiden's voice thundered through the cavern, his tone filled with divine authority.

"I've wanted to do this to him for a long time. For all the suffering he's caused. But your precious morals don't allow it? Well, I am different."

His radiant aura flared, the very air trembling under his presence.

"Divine Punishment is what I am."

His words echoed with a celestial weight, as if the heavens themselves acknowledged his claim.

"A holy one created to bestow judgment upon sinners. And there is no sinner greater than him!"

The X-Men could barely breathe under the sheer force of his presence. Aiden didn't lie... He didn't even know this himself, but the Divine Azure Dragon was a Holy Emissary, the Harbinger of Truth, the Punisher of Sin.

"The lives he's taken! The pain he's caused! And you want him in JAIL, Charles?! Why?! Because he's your ex-friend?!"

Aiden's voice roared through the battlefield, shaking the very earth beneath them.

"NO! HE'S A FUCKING MONSTER THAT SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH! NO JAIL FOR HIM! NO REDEMPTION! ONLY DEATH!"

And with that—

BOOM!

Magneto's body exploded from the inside out.

Blood, water, and gore splattered across the ruined battlefield as Aiden manipulated the very fluids inside Magneto's body, forcing them to detonate from within.

Silence.

Aiden floated down, his body untouched by the blood that had painted the cavern red. A swirl of divine water cleansed him, leaving him pristine. He turned to Charles, his expression unreadable.

Both Beast and Logan instinctively tensed, their muscles coiled, ready to react.

But Aiden simply stared.

"I deliver punishment to sinners."

His glowing eyes locked onto Charles, his next words carrying an almost divine decree.

"And you, Charles, are responsible. Had you killed him earlier, you would have saved countless lives. But you didn't."

He took a step closer, his aura flickering.

"You are responsible."

The weight of his words sank into Charles' soul like a crushing boulder.

Aiden's smirk returned. "Your punishment shall be knowing that."

Then, he turned his back on them.

"Oh, and by the way…"

He cast one last look over his shoulder, his divine presence almost blinding.

"I'm out of your fucking pathetic school."

And with that—

Aiden vanished.
