Shadow Riders Omniversal Journey

Chapter 44

A part of Petra, Cain, and Peters characters are their specific taste in sci-fi, Peter is into Star Trek, Cain into Star Wars, and Petra is into Dune which I see as almost a perfect amalgam of Science fiction and fantasy elements while Star Wars leans into it's fantasy roots more, and Star Trek leans into it's science fiction roots, Dune finds a balance between the two just as Petra tries to balance the trio of herself, Cain, and Peter.

I feel I should say this but true Lucifer, isn't the same being as Blue Exorcist Lucifer or Marvel Lucifer who I've started to call False Lucifer, Blue Exorcist Lucifer is a lesser being to the true Lucifer, the True Lucifer is a Omniversal being who exists mostly as his sand man/ dc/vertigo comics/tv show self, some Lucifers like the one from Hazbin Hotel are shards of him that he keeps in other universes to keep an eye on things, especially any child he may or may not have left behind in said universe.

These Shard of Lucifer much like Deaths reapers have their own kind of personality.

This is how different versions of Lucifer know of Zarathos, they have the true lucifers memories including the memories of Zarathos his younger brother, if you guys want a full explanation of what Zarathos is let me know but his parentage if it matters is TOAA is the father, and Nyx is his mother.

The black and blue wyvern landed in front of the Xavier institute for gifted youngsters, as Cain looked upon the mansion he was reminded of the first day he came here.

Flashback

"How can you tell I'm a mutant, it could just be my demonic powers," said Cain as he sat in front of Charles Xavier.

"Your powers are indeed unique, but with Cerebro we can detect the X-gene as a distinct neurological pattern within you, something blocks much of your mind, but we were still able to find your x-gene was indeed active," said Xavier.

"Zarathos?" Cain asked mentally.

"Yeah that's because of me, but since I also know your gonna ask, you were born with an x-gene, whether I chose you as a vessel or not, you would have awakened to power anyway," said Zarathos.

"Do you know what my x-gene does?" asked Cain.

"Cerebro is a capable machine, but it could only detect your location, and possible strength level, Cerebro estimates you to be an alpha level mutant, the second tier of mutant power, but we can't determine your mutant power," said Charles.

"That's why I'm here," said Zarathos in Cains head.

"Your power is intuitive empathic mimicry, you can copy the super powers of other superhumans, their machine estimates your power is alpha, but your potential is omega," said Zarathos.

"Should I tell him you know?" Cain mentally asked.

"No let these mortals figure it out themselves," said Zarathos.

After that Cain had been introduced to the X-Men, and was integrated as one of their own, he took on the name Hellhound to represent his demonic side and it became very appropriate when he met Rahne and gained the power to turn into a giant demonic wolf.

Flashback end

"This place used to mean something, I once called this place home, now, now I wouldn't mind seeing it burn," Cain said as his brothers looked at him shocked.

"Aren't you a mutant messiah, or one of them?" asked Seth.

"Jean, Me, Exodus, Hope, hell even Legion, I'm one of many messiah figures," said Cain.

"Yet, I'm pretty sure your their most enduring one," said Abel.

"Don't take my words to mean I've abandoned my people, I just don't believe that this place represents the same thing anymore, not since Xavier abandoned his dream," said Cain as he summoned his demon king dagger and he cut the blade through the sign.
