Xu Wenwu, or his name is something like that, had been alive for at least a thousand years. He was a warrior king, and he ruled China. There was even a time when he was known as the most dangerous man on Earth. Not only that, he had the Ten Rings, a weapon that pretty much made him the strongest in the past era of Earth... He could have ruled Earth, but no, he fell for a fucking Jade beauty...
Yeah, I am not mad at the things Xu Wenwu, or the Mandarin, did, but, like, I expected more from a man who has lived for a thousand years... And you know the end of his story? It's even worse! He gets beat up by his own son, who was only like 23 or 24 years old! Damn it! This does not make any sense! At all, how did a thousand-year-old man lose to a kid...? Not only that, the way Shang-Chi won was so trash! He took over the Ten Rings? What? How? Xu Wenwu had more than a year to learn the Ten Rings and master them, but he lost to a person who was not even a century old? Not only that, Xu Wenwu was acting and moving stupidly! In the movie...
He was with the rings for the longest time; he should know how weird they are... No, give any normal person 1 year, just one year! And they master pretty much anything if they put their 100% into it. That's just how good humans are at learning and adapting. But still, Xu Wenwu lost to Shang-Chi... The only explanation is that Xu Wenwu was holding back a lot when fighting his own son, Shang-Chi, which does make sense. In the movie, he was shown to only care about 3 people: his wife, his son, and his daughter. Xu never really cared or even thought about anything else...
He was a man who was living in the past because of his love... Yeah, love is messed up, even though I don't want to believe it, but, well, a man is a man after all—dumb and stubborn—and if you win their hearts truly, then they are loyal... I can believe that Xu, who was emotional after losing one of the 3 people he ever cared about, lost his mind to the 10 rings... Yeah, now that's more of a believable explanation, but still... Ugh, but still, how could he be so... just thinking about this makes me sick...
love...
Leo was thinking about everything while he was heading to China once again, this time on a private jet, which was not his; it just happened to be going to China, and, well, Ava booked a ticket under the name of James Lee, but the whole jet and everything else was in someone else's name—a good coverup...
I don't have to worry about killing since Xu is not a good guy, nor are the Ten Rings. I mean, they inspired a terrorist organization... so no holding back. The only thing is, should I use the Omnitrix? I still am 100% sure that no one on earth knows about the Omnitrix yet... I only used the Omnitrix a lot in K'un-Lun because it was not Earth. There were no phones or cameras there, so people could only spread my name through word and talk, but again, K'un-lun only connects to Earth every 10 or 15 years, so who cares anyway if they see me using the Omnitrix but this Earth? It has phones and cameras everywhere. Even now, in 2006, cameras are everywhere...
If someone like Shield caught me, then, well, I'd have to be on the run, or worse, someone like the X-Men... Yeah, after making Ava look through the internet, I found out about, well, a name, 'Mutants'... and well, when I first saw it, I was, well, punching air because now things are getting really messy. The X-Men's timeline in the movies was fucked, to say the least. No one knows when or where the X-Men truly start, and then there was that time-traveling bullshit... I mean, time travel was also used in the MCU's Endgame, but still, in that movie, it kind of made sense! X-Men doesn't make sense!
At least in the movies, nothing makes sense... but, well, from the information Ava got, the X-Men don't seem to be a thing yet, or maybe they are, but we just don't know about it. But from what I know, this must be the time before Apocalypse came because, well, even if Professor X rubs the minds of the world, the internet is not something he could make them forget. There has to be at least one post somewhere, one comment talking about something about Apocalypse if he had come... Not only that, Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters is a school that even I can put up an application for...
And also the last thing that makes me believe I am in the time before Apocalypse's return is that, well, there is the photo Ava found pretty cool of a man flying in the air wearing a cap and a metal helmet... Erik Magnus Lehnsherr... or Magneto. I not only found a photo of him, but I also was able to get his full name through Ava. She went through 1000s of forms and papers of Germans who were taken by Nazis...
But still, if this is before Apocalypse, then I have a lot of golden jackpots if I can find where he was entombed. Then, well, not only will I have one of the oldest humans alive, but also a lot of technology that simply seems out of this world. Plus, if I can learn how the Apocalypse changes his body to get the superpowers of others, then, well, that's one way to become godly, and I have a feeling Gray Matter can crack how Apocalypse's entombing power stealing works...
It's not some magic or superpowers; no, it's for sure tech. Even Apocalypse armor was said to be Black Technology... at least in the movie, but I am thinking way too much right now. One step at a time, the Ten Rings then, well, I can look for his tomb...
I shut down my notebook, which I had written a long time ago—at least, that's what it feels like. It's only been what? It's been like 8 months since I woke up in this body... I have done a lot. These past months seem so long. I have always been doing something, improving myself somehow. I have even learned how to use Chi when I am Fourarms, and it's fun for sure having 4 glowing fists...
I still have not mastered using Chi when I go hero, but, well, that comes around normally. I can't train something like that; it happens with time... Honestly, I should take a break... After taking the Ten Rings, sure, I'll take a break then...
And just like that, I found myself once more at the airport, throwing my book in my backpack. I stood up and walked out of the jet. It was dark outside.
Hmm, now where is he hiding??? In the movie, they did not tell where Xu Wenwu was living, but from what was shown in the movies, his main base was somewhere in the mountains... Well, I can't look through every mountain in China, can I?
Three days later
Found it... The really big house on the hill that looks like an evil boss's lair... Yeah, got it... How? Well, I ran up every mountain and hill inside China with XLR8, and I did all of this at night so no one knows I was going around everywhere... It's not like they're able to see me in the day either, but at night, I know it's impossible to catch XLR8 because the everyday cameras right now are just not that good.
Anyway, after finding the Ten Rings Headquarters, I went back to the new apartment I was renting... This was posh for sure. I even had maids... Again, this teenage body is giving me sick thoughts... No! Not yet! I am not even 17 yet! Only then, maybe if I found a woman, would I lose my V card... Till then, I am keeping it safe! Even in my past life, I kept my V card safe!
After 'thoughts,' which I all blame on my body, I wake up in the morning... It was February 10th, 2006... Today is the day I take the Ten Rings under me... This will be a start... I have made up my mind now... When I came to this world, I was only scared and wanted to live and go back to my life, but now, no, there is an opportunity right on my wrist...
I won't lose this opportunity...
