Chapter 4: Advancements
(This is an MCU X-Men Comics universe.)
Now that he had a satellite in the form of Soundwave in orbit giving him an edge few could beat. Satellites didn't become something Private Companies could launch into space until a few more years and Soundwave had directly taken over a U.S. military satellite giving him unparalleled access to the US's information.
He just had to wait as at the moment he had then infiltrated Stark Industries as he wanted to see if Howard had the Tesseract and check if that was a thing where he was. From what remember the Tessaract was found by Howard Stark after WW2 which he studied to form his plans for the Arc Reactor.
It wasn't built until the time of Tony Stark as Howard was limited by the technology of the time. Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. was the secret project to study the Tesseract powers for the benefit of Mankind.
"Might as well check, Soundwave I need you to search for someone named Charles Xavier and his school for Gifted Youngsters. It should be in Salem New York, but brach out as well."
In orbit, Soundwave began to go through the records of the U.S and he also used his satellite imaging to search the United States.
"Acknowledged."
The process was rather quick before Soundwave found a match on record.
"Reporting, the individual Charles Xavier is present on the record, his school is located at the specified location."
Hearing that meant that Xavier would have Cerebro his super machine that let him scan the planet to search for mutants. He wasn't a mutant, but if Xavier used that machine he would be exposed which was not something he wanted to happen just yet.
"I see, keep an eye on that school."
"Acknowledged."
With that Samuel focused back on himself before he stood up.
"Now to wait for Frenzy and Barricade to find the information I need. If the Tesseract is a thing, it would be for the best if I took it for myself. Just got to take it from the World Security Council."
He began to run a hand down his face as a world as large as this demanded him to be powerful, intelligent, and calculating. Patience would also play a large part so he nodded to himself.
"I will be patient, time is something I have in abundance."

Meanwhile in the main Stark Industries building Frenzy was moving through the building in a frenzy. He was after the office of Howard Stark and then the main data banks of Stark Industries.
The Master had demanded this off him so he moved quickly, but still stealthily. As for the Shifter, he had moved toward the opposite direction of Frenzy as he wanted to see if he could find anything of importance in the building.
Meanwhile, Barricade waited by the entrance which was beginning to draw attention. His car model was just something not from the time as it was far more sleek and robust than normal cars of the time.
Several people were gathering around him and even without telephones, they used disposable film cameras to capture pictures of the awesome new car. Barricade began to grow irritated so he turned on his sirens.
He rolled down the window before his hologram looked out the window. Disguising the radio as his voice he gave them all a warning.
"Please step away from the vehicle."
Many instantly did that, but a few more stubborn people stuck around.
"Come on officer, we aren't doing anything wrong, we just wanted to catch some pictures of your car. What kind of model is it?"
"That is classified, now step away from the vehicle before you are all arrested."
People grumbled, but this time they did as they were told. Barricade rolled his window back up before he communicated with the Shifter and Frenzy through their shared status as creations of Samuel.
'How much longer is it going to take? I am beginning to draw attention out here.'
The Shifter focused on this communication before he explained himself.
'I am still waiting for Frenzy, he hasn't reached the main office yet.'
'Well hurry.'
The Shifter shook his head as he decided to search for Frenzy himself.
'Fine.'
Speaking of Frenzy, he quickly reached the top floor where Howard's office was located. Thankfully, the Senior Stark was not in New York at the time so Frenzy quickly entered his office.
Even if there were cameras, what did it matter? He rushed to the computer in the office which was more advanced than what the public had access to, but still not great. Frenzy rubbed his hands together before he typed away at the computer.
As he began to get into the computer, he extended a drive from his hand which he stuck into the computer. With that, he uploaded a virus into the Stark computer as he began to run through the data held in Howard's personal computer.
He ran through many of Stark Industries' dealings, and projects until he finally found some information on the Arc reactor. When he found this he began to laugh as he began to transmit data to Soundwave in orbit.
Soundwave then transmitted that to Barricade along with the rest of Stark Industries' data. Soundwave then reported this to Samuel in Montana.
"Frenzy has located the information in question."
Samuel instantly smiled as that was what he liked to hear.
"Tell him to search for something called the Tesseract, Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S, S.H.I.E.L.D, or anything else of importance."
Soundwave reported this to Frenzy, who finished his scan of the computer. On his computer, he didn't find anything on the Tesseract, but he still had the main servers to hack. He disconnected from the computer before he rushed out of the door.
Through the blueprints he knew where the servers were so he began to make his way downstairs to reach the main server. As for the Shifter, he was already there and was just waiting for Frenzy to do the hack.
After he got the proper plans for the Arc Reactor he planned to create Doctor Psycobos to use his intellect to recreate the Arc Reactor and improve it. With that, he would be able to create some technological creations of his choosing.
Including powerful Androids or even Sentinels which could kill even the most powerful Mutants. Enhancing them with an Arc Reactor and a Galvanic Mechamorph would create a truly terrifying threat to not just Mutants.
With a group of such Sentinals, he would have nothing to worry about Mutants or other Super Powered individuals. That began to make him think of more creative uses of his powers.
Just as he was thinking about something he froze before a wild grin appeared on his face.
"What is stopping me from acquiring the Life Hunter bloodline? I just need to create Ahrimane himself and absorb his genetics. Yes, this is a good idea."
He stood up as he began to think about this as becoming a Life Hunter World Sage hybrid would make him practically unbeatable. As for Ahrimane, he wasn't just a Life Hunter, but a Death Hunter as well which was something that allowed them to feed not on Life Force, but Death Force or the gathered energy of slaughter.
A brutal power that made them some of the strongest beings in their verse.
"That is going to have to go on the plans for the future. Then there is a Silver Emperor which means I have my work cut out for me and it has only been a few days."
He sighed, but he in reality was not disappointed, he quite liked the challenge. As such, he cut his meditation before he began to gather his mana once again. It was time for him to return to creating new magics for when the time came for him to make a name for himself.
He did have to think of the Ancient One and her ability to see the future. What did she see when she saw him he wondered. Regardless, he put it to the back of his mind to focus on his training.

Frenzy on the other hand quickly arrived at the main servers of Stark industries. The Alpha shifter sighed when the robot arrived.
"Finally. Let's hurry so we can get out of here."
Frenzy hissed at the Shifter before he got to work hacking the servers. He stabbed his probe into the servers before he began to type away stealing the sensitive data of Stark Industries not in Howard's computer.
As he did this, Soundwave in orbit continued to receive this data while he listened in to U.S communications. While he was going through the servers of Stark industries eventually Frenzy came across something juicy.
The reports on studying Wibranium, The Tesseract, and his work on the Super Soldier Serum. Frenzy began to twitch as the rush of data through his mind which he directed to Soundwave in orbit gave him a rush.
In binary chant, he began to communicate to Barricade and Soundwave.
'I have located information on The Tesseract and more.'
Soundwave instantly processed this data as Frenzy also took different plans that Howard was working on. When the process was done, Frenzy removed his probe before transforming into a laptop which the Shifter picked up.
"Let's get out of here."
As he was in the process of leaving, a maintenance worker entered the server room. When he saw the Shifter, the monster sighed before grabbing him by the neck and snaping it. He dropped the body before he transformed into the worker before walking out.
"Unlucky moron."
After leaving the server room he didn't delay before making his way out of the building. Eventually, he found an area with no cameras before transforming his clothing back into a police uniform.
Without delay, he made his way out where Barricade was still parked. The driver-side door opened up as the Shifter stepped into the car. The door slammed shut before Barricade drove off.
Frenzy transformed back into his robot mode before he began to type away at the computer.
(I have found the data the Master was searching for. The human was in possession of the Tesseract until last year when he turned it into a human government facility. The humans are studying its power along side the plans for the Arc Reactor the master was after.)
Barricade used his connection to Samuel to speak to him.
'My Lord, we have found the date who saught. The Arc Reactor and the Tessaract are in the data banks of the humans.'
Samuel was coated in black lightning which he based on Aeterna or Eternal Night the future title of Ahrimane one of the strongest original magics in time.
"Well done, you have done very well. Make your way out of New York and begin driving toward Washington DC. Infiltrate the Pentagon and steal the data of the US. If they have an alien in cold storage I want to know."
Barricade without hesitation began to drive toward DC. As a Cybertronian hiding in plain site was his job. As for the Alpha Shifter, he just sat back with his hands behind his back.
"Wake me up when we get there."
Barricade's steering wheel suddenly extended and hit him in the face.
"OWWW!"
"You will remain at attention, what if we have to speak to the humans?"
Frenzy hissed at him as he continued his mad typing. The Shifter huffed as these two treated him like a convenient assistant.
"So unfair."
Regardless, the three of them would continue to infiltrate high-profile businesses, government agencies, and more. Samuel as an assassin was trained to value information above all else after all.
In the meantime, he continued to progress his understanding of magic. The more he learned the more he wanted to know which made him have a purpose in this life. It helped that he loved what he was doing as well.
"Let's do this, Aeterna(Eternal Night)."
(What other creatures should he create? Monsters, Aliens, Unknowable horror, anime beasts. Living Machines, the choices as endless.)
