Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Panther's Gambit

Professor X had just finished a telepathic conversation with Storm, who was trapped along with her team. He was now contemplating his next move and who he could trust to help. After a few agonizing minutes, he settled on T'Challa, a long-time acquaintance of Storm. He knew that if Storm trusted him, then so should he.

Using his telepathic abilities, Professor X contacted T'Challa and relayed the dire situation of his team. "T'Challa, I need your help," he said.

T'Challa responded almost instantly, his voice calm and controlled. "Professor X, what can I do for you?"

"I need to get my team to safety. They are trapped, and I fear they may not survive much longer."

T'Challa listened intently, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again. "You have my word, Professor X. When a guest of Wakanda is in danger, it is up to the Black Panther to handle it personally. I will help you find a safe haven."

Relieved, Xavier thanked T'Challa, and they agreed to meet at the other end of the palace. As the telepathic connection ended, Xavier leaned back in his chair, taking a deep breath.

Meanwhile, T'Challa stood in front of the Black Panther suit, preparing to don it. He knew that the situation was dire and that he had to act quickly. He put on the suit, feeling the power of the vibranium coursing through his veins.

As he made his way through the palace, he thought about the danger that awaited him. He knew that he had to be cautious and calculated. With each step, he could feel his heartbeat increasing, his senses heightened.

As T'Challa made his way to meet Xavier,

The sound of heavy machinery outside of the palace caught T'Challa's attention as he prepared to leave the throne to transport Xavier. Suddenly, a loud boom echoed throughout the palace as the doors leading to the throne room were blown off their hinges. T'Challa found himself thrown back into a wall covered in Wakandan art and traditional weapons.

As he regained his footing, he noticed 20 soldiers in high-tech grey armor with gold accents and a jaguar theme storming into the palace, plasma spears at the ready. The soldiers seemed to be Wakandan, but their motives were unclear.

"What is the meaning of this? Who are you?" T'Challa demanded.

One of the soldiers stepped forward, "We are the true Wakandan warriors, unlike you, false king. You have abandoned our people to starve and struggle while you sit comfortably on your throne."

T'Challa felt a pang of confusion and sadness. "I have always done what is best for our people. What do you want from me?"

"Your throne, and your life if necessary. We will not rest until Wakanda is ruled by a true leader," the soldier replied, his comrades nodding in agreement.

T'Challa knew he had to defend himself and his kingdom. The soldiers were heavily armed, and their plasma spears could cut through metal and shoot laser projectiles.

The fight that ensued was long and difficult for T'Challa. He used his surroundings to his advantage, picking up stray weapons and debris to defend himself. He also utilized advanced grapple techniques, punches, and kicks, displaying his superior martial arts skills. His acrobatic abilities and intelligence allowed him to dodge and evade the soldiers' attacks.

The soldiers began to panic as they saw their numbers dwindling. "This isn't right. We should have been able to take him down easily," one of them said.

"He's not just a false king, he's a skilled warrior. We underestimated him," another replied.

T'Challa did not let his guard down, knowing that the fight was not over yet. The soldiers continued to attack, their plasma spears flashing dangerously in the air. The tone of the fight had shifted, becoming more serious and intense.

T'Challa fought on, determined to protect his kingdom and his people, even against those who believed he had abandoned them.As T'Challa continued to fight, the soldiers became more aggressive and started to work together, using their numbers to try to overwhelm him. They moved in coordinated groups, trying to corner him and strike from all sides. T'Challa countered with fluid movements, switching between his traditional Wakandan fighting style and more advanced martial arts techniques, taking advantage of every opening that presented itself.

The room was filled with the sound of clashing weapons and grunts of effort as T'Challa fought for his life. He used every resource at his disposal, dodging around pillars and throwing debris at his attackers to keep them at bay. As the fight continued, the walls of the throne room began to show signs of damage from the intense battle.

Despite the odds stacked against him, T'Challa remained focused and determined, analyzing the movements of his opponents and looking for weaknesses in their defense. His strikes became more calculated and precise, taking down the soldiers one by one.

The soldiers, sensing their defeat, became more desperate and started to make mistakes. They left openings for T'Challa to exploit and became disorganized as their confidence wavered. T'Challa saw this as an opportunity and took advantage of their disarray, delivering precise strikes that left them struggling to stay on their feet.

As the fight drew to a close, T'Challa stood alone in the throne room, surrounded by the bodies of his fallen attackers. He took a moment to catch his breath, surveying the damage done to the room and reflecting on the gravity of the situation. The soldiers had been Wakandan, his own people turning against him. The thought left a bitter taste in his mouth, and he knew that this was only the beginning of the challenges he would face as king.As T'Challa pondered recent events, a soldier seized the opportunity to strike. He caught T'Challa off guard and picked up a stray sword, plunging it into T'Challa's leg. The pain was intense, but T'Challa refused to let it slow him down. He gritted his teeth and fought through the agony, taking down the soldier with a series of precise strikes.

The wound slowed T'Challa down, and the remaining soldiers took advantage of his weakened state. They launched a coordinated assault, forcing T'Challa to retreat and take cover behind a damaged pillar. T'Challa's leg throbbed with pain, and he knew that he needed to find a way to even the odds.

He surveyed his surroundings, looking for anything he could use as a weapon. His eyes fell on a pile of debris in the corner of the room, and he knew what he had to do. With a burst of energy, he sprang from his hiding spot, using his uninjured leg to launch himself into the air. He grabbed a piece of rubble on his way up and used it to strike the nearest soldier, knocking him off his feet.

The other soldiers closed in, but T'Challa was ready. He launched a flurry of kicks and punches, each one landing with bone-crunching force. He used his acrobatic skills to dodge incoming attacks, using the pillars and debris to his advantage. His movements were precise and calculated, and he struck with the force of a panther.

The soldiers began to fall, one by one, as T'Challa fought with every ounce of strength he had left. His leg throbbed with pain, but he refused to let it slow him down. He was a warrior, a king, and he would not be defeated.

As the last soldier fell, T'Challa collapsed to the ground, exhausted and wounded. He knew that the battle had taken its toll, and that his journey as king would be filled with challenges and obstacles. But he also knew that he had the strength and the will to overcome them, no matter the cost.
