Black Panther, Ant-Man, and Tigra were discussing possible fourth members for the new FF to fight Fasuad when the queen of the Inhumans, Medusa walked in. Everyone got a shocked looked on their faces except for Tigra, who just purred. "Alicia tells me you need a fourth member I would be honored to be it." Medusa said.

"I can't find any reason why not," Ant-Man said. Black Panther nodded in agreement and so did Tigra, just to get on Ant-Man's good side.

"Well then how shall we handle this threat of Fasaud?" Medusa asked the three.

"We fight him!" Ant-Man simply said.

"We have to be there today. But he's changed the location to Ontario. I wonder why he would do that?" Black Panther asked himself.

"I have no clue, stud, but let's just get this over with so me and you can paint the town red." Tigra said to Black Panther playfully. Black Panther grabbed his collar and loosened it a bit.


The new Fantastic Four were in one of Black Panther's personal jets and were heading straight for Ontario. They had a bumpy landing because some radio waves were messing up the equipment. They were prepared as could be when they got off the ship but they still didn't expect a bunch of vibranium-covered mutants to attack them. Black Panther and Tigra caught their bearings the quickest, and attacked one of the mutants, sending him into a car, crushing it.

Medusa and Ant-Man managed to trick two of the freaks into a vat of petroleum in an 18 wheeler. Medusa then pulled her hair around the last of the freaks, confusing him, and Ant-Man blasted him down into a bunch of cakes in a cake store.

"They are stunned but not for long." Black Panther said then all of a sudden they disappeared. Fasaud came out in a new form. He looked like a glowing blue Silver Surfer.

"Hello Fantastic Four not exactly who I was expecting but it's good enough... and now it's time for you to die. Yes, I know you are wondering how I gained a body well it was due to some Shiar technology that the man known as Wizard found and it was transferred to me. Now I can change into this form and hook into the electrical systems of the world." Fasaud said

Fasuad began his assault on the Fantastic Four. His electrical sparks hit Black Panther, sending him into the window of a comic store. Tigra, taking advantage of Fasaud's attack, began to straddle him on the back with her claws.

Fasaud, in pain, grabbed Tigra's leg and threw her into a charging Ant-Man, knocking them both unconscious . Medusa was the only one left to fight against Fasaud.


At Alicia's House

Franklin was horrified as he saw his friends being reduced to nothing by the blue man. He wished with all his little heart that he could help them.

If only he knew he just had.


Back to the fight.

Medusa felt strange and Fasaud looked on in wonder as she began to change. Her suit changed into a spandex black costume with a picture of a galaxy on her stomach. Her eyes and hair became crystal. "I am the Undying Power. I represent all that is immortal and I shall crush you in your place. For as in all the universe is forever changing, so do I. My power forever grows stronger. In my true power I am on par with the Phoenix Force. I give you one chance to retreat," the Undying Force said.

"You talk too much. I'm really annoyed by you," Fasaud said. He began to shoot blasts off at her but the Undying Force simply blocked it and smiled. Energy began to build up in her hand and she threw it at Fasaud shattering his body. Ant-Man woke up just in time to see the Undying Force turn into Medusa.


Later on at the base Ant-Man discussed with Black Panther , Tigra, and Alicia. "She was an entirely different person. I have no clue what was happening to her," Ant-Man said.

"Whatever it was, it saved us from Fasaud," Tigra said.

"We can't be completely sure Fasaud is gone though," Black Panther said.

"Yeah, so we should be on the lookout," Ant-man said.

"Well, I hope Medusa gets better soon," Alicia said.

"We all do, Alicia. I called the Inhuman royal family up and they should be here." Black Panther said.


Cosmicus's Ship.

The Fantastic Four were in a jungle. They were unsure of where they were at. "Guys I'm gonna clock whoever bought us to this smelly jungle," Ben said. Reed was studying the plants in the jungle very long and hard.

"These plants are not from Earth." Reed said. The look on everyone's face was surprise then it turned into the "Oh not this junk again". Then they heard a large voice come over an intercom.

"Hello Fantastic Four. I'm Cosmicus. I brought you to this jungle simulation because we are meant to fight. It is my destiny so prepare yourself," Cosmicus said.

"Man, why are we always having to prove ourselves to some overrated jerk?" Johnny said.

"We're just gonna clobber this one like every other loser we fought." Ben said.

"Steady guys we can't underestimate our foe." Reed said.

As soon as this was said, Ben was hit with powerful blast and went flying into a tree. Sue flamed on and Johnny went invisible. Reed jumped at the shadows where he assumed Cosmicus was at and he was met with a pretty good punch. Reed took it though, and gave Cosmicus a punch of his own which sent Cosmicus into a big, pink tree. Sue came up behind Cosmicus and, as she was about to fire her nova blast, the ship was rocked. Obviously it was hit by a ship of some kind. On the ship came Deathbird and her troops. "Soldiers get the cargo," Deathbird said.

The computer of Cosmicus began to glow with a purple light and out of it came a Kree covered in gold and silver rings all over his body. " I will assume my throne and Deathbird shall give me the means to," the computer said, and then he disappeared into the reaches of space. Cosmicus grew with rage and attacked Deathbird's troops, only to be stunned by them and bought to her ship. The Fantastic Four hid the whole time while all of this was happening. When Deathbird left with her prizes the Fantastic Four tried to take control of the ship, only to find it would have to be operated manually. They were not too happy about that, but they did the best with what they had to work with. They turned on the hyperdrive and flew off blindly into space to who knows where.


Paris, France.

The Inhumans' ship was heading towards Four Freedoms Plaza when it was attacked by the Olympian Squad (Theseus, Meleager, Achilles, Perseus, Atalanta, and Medea). On the ship was Karnak, Triton, Gorgon, and the newest members of the royal family: Cohors, Krosscrux, Crosier, and Duellum.

Strangely enough though, Black Bolt wasn't there. The Olympian Squad took down the Inhumans easily with the element of surprise.

"We are sorry Inhumans but Zeus orders you all do not see Medusa," Theseus said and with that they were gone off to Olympus.


Four Freedoms Plaza.

Ant-Man looked at the clock for the fifth time and began to wonder "Where on Earth are those Inhumans?"

"Maybe they were busy." Alicia said.

"Too busy for their queen? I'm not to sure about that," Black Panther said.

"Yeah. Something's wrong, I know it," Ant-Man said.

"Oh yes something is wrong, and it's with you guys!" Wizard said with Moltarblast and the rest of his Frightful Four flanking him.


Ireland

Maggott was tired and he was going to get help from someone and he was headed to the Four Freedoms Plaza. He knew Devious might find him but he was going to make a stand against him. He would have went to the mutant groups, but they all seemed to have their own problems to worry about, so he figured the Fantastic Four would be the best help he could find.


NEXT ISSUE: Olympus action galore , the new FF fights the all new Frightful Four, Cosmicus fights Deathbird, and the four pods' contents are revealed!
