Irredeemable: Part 4
Xander had gone quiet for a few days. Most of the heroes had either been slaughtered by Xander or were in hiding. He was simply too powerful to take on directly. Some people even began to think that he had left Earth. He hadn't. Rather, he was just thinking about what he was going to do next. He pondered on this in the middle of what used to be Wakanda. There wasn't anything left of it other than piles of rubble and corpses.
SHIELD however, knew full and well where he was. He was outputting so much energy that it would be almost impossible to miss him if you scanned for his signature. And that was while he was just sitting around. They were going to take him down. They had their secret weapon: Manifest. They gave him the designs for weapons based on anti-matter. Highly unstable, and in theory, powerful enough to cause actual damage to Xander. They didn't even try to be subtle. They flew the Helicarrier straight to him. A gambit. They all knew he could have wrecked the Helicarrier ten miles out before they knew they were dead. This was to show that they had the gall to actually ignore the fact that he was the most powerful being on the planet. It paid off. Xander let them land and approached the two men who stepped out of it. "Xander Smith." Said Nick Fury.
"That's my name, don't wear it out." He said and landed in front of them.
"You're under arrest for crimes against humanity. Come quietly and you won't be harmed." As expected, Xander laughed. This was a joke to him. He didn't believe there was anything on the planet that could do any damage worse than a paper cut. "Don't make this hard on yourself."
"Oh... God..." He said finally stopping his laughter. "Ya know. It's been awhile since I laughed that hard." He said and sighed. "Alright. I'll bite. Or what? Seriously. I wanna see what you guys really have." He asked obviously unimpressed with their threat.
"This." Nick replied and gave Manifest the okay to fire at will. He aimed the high tech looking weapon at Xander's center mass and fired. Xander, thinking it was just another energy blaster, put his hand up to block the beam. What happened next he didn't expect. The beam completely eradicated his arm and knocked him back from his body trying to contain that much energy going off at once. The pain distracted him for just long enough for Manifest to turn the heat up and fired again, this time without Xander blocking it, it went straight through his chest. Leaving a gaping hole where his heart used to be. Xander fell to his knees bleeding profusely.
"That's the thing about you all-powerful types. You always underestimate the little guy. I'd say I would miss you. But I'm not that much of a liar." Manifest said, putting the weapon on full blast, and fired one last time. The skin, muscle and all of the meat on Xander's bones was flayed off, leaving nothing more than a charred skeleton. "Good riddance."
