"Who are you?"

Raven's face was full of caution as she positioned herself in front of Charles to shield him.

Before Apocalypse could speak, the others turned pale and shouted, "Apocalypse! He's Apocalypse!"

Knowing the extreme danger Apocalypse posed, Nightcrawler suddenly grabbed Raven's hand, while Azazel placed his hand on Charles' shoulder, both intending to teleport the most important person in the room away.

However, Apocalypse did nothing, and he merely swept his gaze over the group, his eyes faintly glowing white. In the next instant, both Nightcrawler and Azazel gave up on using their abilities, realizing they were too late. The space had already been sealed by Apocalypse, which seemed to be one of his many powers, which completely neutralized teleportation.

"Protect the Professor at all costs!" 

"We have no choice but to fight!"

Realizing there was no escape and facing the overwhelming presence of Apocalypse, Logan extended his steel claws, Raven drew her blade from a thigh holster, Hank transformed into his blue-furred beastly form, and Alex unzipped the front of his leather jacket.

"A group of insignificant mortals."

Apocalypse waved his left hand in boredom. Logan and Raven were thrown across the room by an unseen force, and with another flick of his hand, Hank and Alex were lifted high into the air. The four main X-Men fighters were taken down almost instantly.

"Get the Professor out of here!"

Nightcrawler and Azazel gritted their teeth and began to retreat, wheeling Charles' chair backward, but soon found themselves at a dead end—blocked by the platform where the mechanical helmet rested.

"He's mine now."

Apocalypse stretched out his left hand, and Charles, seated in his wheelchair, was lifted into the air, and quickly pulled toward Apocalypse, his neck caught in Apocalypse's five-fingered grip.

Charles clutched at Apocalypse's hand, his paralyzed legs dangling helplessly in the air. Against someone immune to mental control, he had no ability to fight back.

"This is the end for you. You are the key I've waited millennia for. Once I strip you of your mutant power, I will have the strength to defeat *him*."

Ignoring the others in the room, Apocalypse began to leave with Charles. A purple portal appeared before him, and he stepped one foot into it.

"Professor!" Alex, who had been thrown to the ground, screamed in anguish as he climbed to his feet. Kneeling, he aimed his chest toward Apocalypse's back.

"No!"

Hank shouted in alarm, but it was too late. A burst of crimson energy shot from Alex's chest, searing the air as it sped toward Apocalypse.

Apocalypse ignored it completely, stepping through the portal with Charles. As the portal disappeared, the energy blast hit nothing, instead destroying the underground base's reinforced doors and striking the power supply for the school's energy grid.

Boom!!!

An explosion powerful enough to obliterate the entire school erupted in the underground complex. As the blazing fire spread and thick smoke rose into the air, everyone in the basement looked on in despair.

One second later.

The entire school was leveled by the underground blast. The fire raged, and thick plumes of smoke billowed into the sky.

Outside on the grassy lawn, Logan, Alex, Hank, Raven, Nightcrawler, and Azazel stared at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what had just happened.

Behind them came an annoyed voice, "I was faster this time! I saved four people! You only saved two!"

"Yeah, yeah. You're the fastest."

Caesar looked helplessly at Quicksilver, who stood there smugly. Caesar didn't have the heart to mention that he had rushed over from fifty kilometers away.

Logan exhaled in relief as he looked at the two of them. "Caesar, Quicksilver, thank goodness you arrived in time."

In a situation where they had been just one second away from death, without Caesar and Quicksilver, no one knew if they could have survived.

"It wasn't exactly in time; we were a bit late." Caesar glanced at the ruined school, a place that held many precious memories for him.

"It's our fault," Hank said, his face ashen. "Caesar, Professor Charles was taken by Apocalypse."

"I know," Caesar nodded, reassuring them. "Charles should be fine for now. Apocalypse wants to strip him of his powers, and that process takes some preparation and time."

"But where do we find Apocalypse?" Raven asked anxiously.

"That's simple."

Caesar snapped his fingers lightly, saying calmly, "I left a special energy mark on the Four Horsemen. No matter where they go, I can sense them. They'll regroup with Apocalypse, and that's when his time will come."

Caesar's words were delivered with such casual confidence that they put everyone at ease, calming their anxious hearts.

"Uh-oh!"

Suddenly, Caesar's expression changed, as if something more catastrophic than the end of the world had occurred. This caused everyone's hearts to race once again.

"I have to go! Jean is waiting for me to make dinner! You guys take care; I'm off!"

With that, Caesar left behind a blast of air, rocketing into the night sky like a missile. In no time, he disappeared into the distance like a shooting star, leaving the others on the lawn utterly bewildered.

A crow flew across the sky, cawing in the background.

Nightcrawler gave a baffled smile, "So... making dinner is more important than the end of the world?"

"Is Caesar really the kind of person who puts the kids to bed and then casually saves the world?" Hank asked, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Quite possibly," Future Logan replied with a roll of his eyes.

Azazel shrugged. "You'll get used to it. That's just how Master is."

Over the ocean.

Caesar flew at high speed, crossing land and sea in a flash. But just as he neared the island, within a hundred meters of it, a mysterious force disrupted his flight.

"What's this?"

Caesar landed on the sandy beach, taking a step toward Little Bourne. As he advanced, that mysterious force continued to bombard him, resisting his approach.

"This is... a field of telekinesis."

Caesar was genuinely surprised. A field is a manifestation of an ability taken to its absolute limit.

For example, Raina has a budding mental field, where anything within its range is subject to her awareness and control. Quicksilver, on the other hand, has a speed field, where everything within his range, even time, slows to a crawl. 

Caesar himself has a field too— his Superman field, allowing him to apply his immense strength in impossible ways, such as lifting an entire mountain without disturbing a single stone.

A field represents an ability taken to its ultimate, boundless form!

At this moment, someone on the island had activated a telekinetic field, a force powerful enough to obliterate any life form approaching.

"It's Jean. I didn't expect her to reach this level so quickly."

Caesar's face reflected both pride and concern. Ignoring the powerful repulsion of the telekinetic field, he stepped toward the core of the field where Little Bourne was located.
