The reporters and spectators threw their hands up in panic as they fled the battle scene. Reed and Moltarblast had become entangled in conflict and feverishly traded blows.

"This isn't going to cut it. I've got to separate myself from his grasp."

After, minutes Reed realized the situation wouldn't improve and grabbed the leg of Moltarblast and lifted him above Reed's head with a boost of adrenaline and drove him into the concrete. Reed then separated himself from the molten beast. Moltarblast quickly recovered from his pummeling with his cannons coiled. Moltarblast spewed molten lava from his barrels at Reed's direction which he dodged. In response, Reed rammed into Moltarblast with a large forward leap that raised Reed off the ground with arms out stretched forward by pushing off the ground which Reed's monstrous feet used to propel him through the air.

"Argh!", cried Reed.

Reed's face cringed as he felt some of Moltarblast's lava burn his rocky exterior.

"I've got to think this over."

Reed once again tried to create distance between he and Moltarblast who charged into Reed's direction like a train. Reed began to study the containment suit and its robotics as he approached. Reed's eyes stayed focus as Moltarblast came closer and closer. Up and down Reed's eyes researched, surveyed, and relayed the information into his analytical mind.

"It appears to be a kind of containment suit that is keeping my foe together."

Curano with spear in hand hissed in her former dialect and spit in the direction of Sue."Evil so shall I squash you now. Like a delicate little doll whose head I shall pop off," threatened Curano.

Sue hovered above her in flame form.

"Okay..."

Sue began to juggle fireballs and tossed them into Curano's direction. Curano seemed quite resourceful as she pulled what appeared to be a seed from a pouch that sprouted into a protective hand shield that she used to block the flames.

"None, may pierce the shield of the Kiboki seed," chuckled Curano.

Sue then let loose a stream of flame that pounded into Curano's shield.

"Talk is cheap!" exclaimed Sue.

"Fire witch, I have more tricks in my pouch then you know," retorted Curano.

From a belt that hung around her skeletal figure Curano retrieved a bolo. She swung it above her head and flung it at the airborne Sue. It wrapped around Sue's legs which caused her to lose control of her balance and cause her to do a downward spin to the ground.

"I got to finish this off."

A bruised Sue Richards' hands tugged at the rope which was tightly wound around Sue's legs. Curano in warrior like fashion came to Sue to claim her kill. Sue began to panic as Sue closed in.

"Oh no! It's too tight."

A look of death began to fall upon Sue's face.

"Wait a second. My normal flame isn't enough to burn this archaic contraption, but perhaps I can go nova."

At that thought Sue's body intensified with heat. Sue grew brighter and brighter. A bright flash burst out from her body and threw Curano back from its concussive force.

Johnny noticed the flash from Sue in the distance.

"Sis!!"

"It doesn't matter where you are my dear. You cannot escape me. In fact you love me very much," stated Phermona.

Phermona used her influence over bodily hormones to mesmerize Johnny. Phermona felt her arms that were in Johnny's grip released as Johnny had restrained her in his invisible form.

"I can't move. I must keep fighting. Oh, but she is so beautiful."

"I should kill you now little man," screeched Phermona.

Johnny became visible at the will of Phermona and fell to his knees at her command.

"I had hoped for so much with this confrontation. Oh well..." said Phermona.

Ben saw Johnny at the feet of Phermona.

"Johnny, I'm coming."

Ben ran towards Johnny's direction to aid him when he got punched from the side by the Wizard.

"You forget something, my elastic foe."

Ben had thought he had defeated the Wizard, but he was shown to have more resilience then Ben thought. Ben's arms stretched out from his shoulders and used them to tie the Wizard's body up.

"I'm going to wipe that chocolate milk mustache off your face!", announced Ben.

As Ben's arms entwined the Wizard's body and electrical shock burst out from the Wizard's armor. Ben released the Wizard and fell to the ground unconscious. A pleased Wizard hovered and called out to Phermona.

"This is too easy. Phermona, come to me with your captive".

At the corner of the Wizard's eye he noticed a reporter. The Wizard pointed a finger in the reporter's direction.

"You, come here if you value your life."

The reporter stumbled towards the Wizard.

Reed was fatigued by his physical exertion with Moltarblast.

"I hope the others are faring better then I."

Reed lifted a bench from the ground and tossed it towards Moltarblast.

"I know this isn't the brightest idea, but it's the only one at my disposal right now."

Reed ripped a light post from the island's surface and smacked Moltarblast in as if he was a baseball. Moltarblast found himself knocked into an ice cold fountain.

"If I'm correct about this, the intense heat of Moltarblast combined with the frigid temperature of the water in the fountain; it should cause this creature's casing to crack."

Moltarblast splashed in the fountain as steam filled the air. Moltarblast's containment suit sparked and began to crack.

"I hurt! You hurt me!" cried Moltarblast.

Molten lava dripped from the containment suit's cracks and Moltarblast sat on the floor and cried.

"Success. Now, I must go help the others," thought Reed.

A large platform hovered overhead and carried the three other members of the Frightful Four.

"Cry not my wayward son," consoled the Wizard to Moltarblast.

Reed looked upward at the platform.

"Reed, you are all that is left of your pitiful bunch," taunted the Wizard.

The unconscious bodies of Reed's fallen family members were flung over the side where they dangled overhead with their feet tied to the platform.

"No, they better not be!!" yelled Reed.

"Look how their bodies dangle," joked Curano.

"I have succeeded at least. Reed I am your superior," proclaimed the Wizard.

Reed in fear for the others lives conceded and was placed in power restraining gauntlets and was taken to the area where the stage used to be.

The reporter was setup with camera in hand and a live video feed in action.

"Reporter come here. The world will see the final fate of the Fantastic Four right before their eyes. I shall destroy them. This will no doubt make the Neilsen ratings go through the roof," announced the Wizard.

At the Fantastic Four's harbor-side headquarters Alicia had been called in to baby-sit for Franklin. Alicia became disturbed from the television.

"How horrible? There must be something that can be done."

Franklin walked into the room and watched his family in the Wizard's clutches on the television.

"What's going on Aunt Alicia? Who is that bad man that has Mommy and Daddy?"

"Welcome, all. I must apologize for breaking into the regular scheduled program. Each of the members of the Fantastic Four who appear before you have had gravity discs attached to each of their appendages. At my command for the viewing public of the world each gravity disc shall create an opposite polarity. In essence the beloved bodies of the Fantastic Four will be ripped apart. Arms shall pop from shoulder sockets," stated the Wizard.

Above the earth Cosmicus had monitored the battle between the Fantastic Four and Frightful Four.

"This can't be allowed. I have been fighting the urge for me to take action. Now is the time to strike."

Suddenly, Cosmicus appeared in between the members of the Frightful Four. A long handle outstretched from his hand and at its tip was a long sharp glowing blade. The weapon appeared to be a scythe as seen as the favorite keeper of the dead. Cosmicus used the scythe to slice through the members of the Frightful Four which caused each of their nervous systems to overload as they fell unconscious and their bodies convulsed on the floor. When the light dissolved the Frightful Four were knocked out on the floor with the members of the Fantastic Four gone.

An unpleased monarch that had monitored the battle threw a goblet into a nearby mirror.

"What just occurred?" questioned Dr. Doom to a Doombot.

"Master, I had told you about the energy readings," crackled the Doombot.

Dr. Doom blasted the droid with his gauntlets.

"The Fantastic Four will not escape me. Their luck will soon run out."
