<(POV of Robert Bobby Drake, aka, Iceman)>

"I hate robots, especially the racist ones," I grumbled annoyedly as I froze another sentinel. These sentinels were really annoying. Not only each of them were really strong but also there were almost hundreds of such droids.

No matter how many sentinels I destroyed, there was just no end to them. They were in the hundreds.

Still fighting the sentinels was easier for me, Ororo, and Jean compared to the other X-men. The others like Scott, Beast, and Logan were having more difficulties fighting the sentinels.

Turns out that some of the sentinels had an extra coating of some unique metal on their bodies which made Scott's lasers and Beast's & Logan's attacks less effective against them.

At first, I had thought that Jean would probably destroy the most sentinels out of all of us but I was soon proven wrong.

Turns out that Ororo had gone into a berserk mode and had rained down non-stop lightning on the droids like never before. Almost every sentinel in her strike radius was completely fried.

Not only me and the other X-men but even Jean also looked shocked as she stared at the white-haired mutant looking like a goddess.

Both of them were powerful and they were competing on who was stronger among them. They were probably the two most powerful metahumans in our school since both of them were omega-level metahumans.

Well, I was one too, but I didn't want to compete with them. Whatever they were competing for, they looked dangerous while doing that.

And anyway, I wasn't here to compete on who got more kills but what I wanted to do was impress my newly found crush, Rudeus Fireheart.

Ah, such a beautiful name. I could imagine the type of person who would have such a name. Probably a pure gentleman who was untainted by the evils of the world.

The moment I met him, the moment I saw his perfection, my gay radar buzzed like never before. I knew I had found my dream man. He is everything that I want in my life partner. He was perfection made real.

I was initially a little sad that he wasn't answering my feelings. I even thought that maybe he was not interested in me, maybe my gay radar was wrong. But then I learned that he was a god.

I didn't know much about gods but what I did know from some Greek mythologies were that gods like both men and women. They will embrace whoever loves them, no matter their gender. And Rudeus confirmed that as well today back in the school when he said the same thing.

That made me hope once again. I realized that I could not be selfish and keep him just to myself. Others need him as well. So I will not stop him from loving others but that doesn't mean that I will stop loving him. I am sure that one day he will accept me, that he will accept my love.

However even though we were giving our best against these sentinels, we were unable to win no matter what. For every sentinel we killed a dozen others took its place. Their sheer durability and large numbers were too much for us.

However all of a sudden the sentinels stopped attacking us.

They just stood still as all of them faced the same direction. They were waiting for something. All of us also stopped attacking them as we all had an inkling of what had happened. We knew that Rudeus had succeeded.

He and his trusted cubic assistant Zoya had succeeded in taking over all the sentinels. However, it didn't just end at that.

After that came the coolest speech I have ever heard. Rudeus again proved himself a god as he stood at the center of the island and told each and every metahuman and sentinel here that from now on, this island was under his protection.
