BOOM!! A purple portal opened in the Hewan dimension and out of it stepped the Fantastic Four, M-Squad, Black Titans, Achilles, Medea, and the Inhumans. They were in the Hewan dimension looking for the Inhumans' missing king, Black Bolt. Black Bolt, according to the precog Alan Shizer, was kidnapped by Maximus and brought to this dimension to be part of the Octense Dream. " I have seen worse dumps," Maggott said, gasping at the burning city that was below the heroes. "It seems Maximus has already started to have an effect on this dimension," Karnak said. "Yes, Karnak, it seems he has," Medusa said. "Can we just find Black Bolt and go home?" Triton asked. "That is fine with me, how about the rest of you guys?" Krosscrux asked. "Enough chatter, it is time to find Black Bolt and take down Maximus!" Sue exclaimed. Zeneo Tech. Building Diablo had his squad of Charlie-28, Binary, Dr. Animal, Windlord, Alpha Beam Bob, Kamee, Mega Photon, Big Bone, Daddio, Devious, and Static King assembled in front of his employer. "Well, this is an impressive collection of power you seem to have here. Question is, though, will they be able to get the Eye of Consolence for me?" Diablo's employer asked. "They will do the job fine and dandy, mi amigo. Charlie-28 with his massive super-strength and endurance should more than a match for the Thing. Binary, with her ablity to channel the energy of black holes and stars can take down Human Torch. Dr. Animal, with his ability to create, turn into, and control animals should be more than enough to hold off the Inhumans that will more than likely show up. If Dr. Animal ain't suited for the job, Windlord with his massive control over the wind should blow them away. The other six are barely even needed," Diablo said, smiling. "Good, but remember that once you get the Eye of Consolence, you leave. Don't try and fulfill some personal vendettas. This corporation needs that Eye of Consolence. With the right radiation, the Eye of Consolence could produce massive mutations in species," Diablo's employer explained. "How do you know all of this?" Diablo asked. "I have a source and that is all you need to know. Now get to the dimensional transporter room!" Diablo's employer roared. "Of course, esteemed boss," Diablo said, then snapped to indicate to his team it was time to go. "Diablo, you really have bought me some interesting creatures to experiment on. Alpha Beam Bob with his god-like powers. Kamee with his ability to make anyone he touches into the epitome of themselves. Mega Photon with the ability to control light itself. Big Bone with a body made entirely of bone and Daddio with the ability to create moles on people's bodies and from that point on he could track them down like the mole was a tracking device. Finally there was Static King with his complete and utter control over electricity. A wonderful experimenting dish indeed," Diablo's boss cackled to himself. Hewan Diemension The heroes were locked in intense combat. All their foes looked exactly the same: black clad knights with mean stares and big swords to match. Alan Shizer was using his sword-fighting skills to combat the knights as best as possible. Medusa grabbed one of the knights and threw him into a group of three other knights that had cornered Gorgon. Gorgon nodded in appreciation and leaped off to help Triton and Karnak battle the four knights that plagued them. Before Medusa could even get her mind back to the battlefield, her hair was grabbed by a knight and she was thrown into the back of Lionel Lambert. He fell over and barely missed being hit by one of the knight's swords. Tyler Holcomb was on another part of the battlefield using his telekinesis to pull iron molecules out of the knight's armor and creating metal shafts that he was sending through the bodies of knights. He was also using his telekinesis to rip limbs out of the knights and bashing other knights in the heads with them. Meanwhile, Maggott was using his maggots to control some of the other knights. He was having them attack their friends. Maggott was getting his punches in, too, with his super strength. Nicole Lambert was seducing soldiers and giving them kisses, turning them into pickles she would then throw at other knights to catch them off guard. Alan Shizer took advantage of this by chopping off the heads of those distracted knights. Invisible Woman was probably the most effective person on the battlefield. She was using her invisible fields to cut off the knights' oxygen. Her powers were taking out hundreds of knights at a time. Riley Halladay was probably the most ineffective on the battlefield because he was fighting mostly with the bow and arrow he'd learned to use. Eventually though the heroes wore down the knights. Then over a hill close to them came Maximus and King Daloa riding on horses. "Hello heroes! Greetings to you. I am King Daloa and if you wish to find Black Bolt follow me," he said, riding off as quickly as he could. "This is definitely a trap!" Doc Diamond yelled. "A very obvious one at that," Maggott said. "Well, we gotta find Black Bolt and Maximus is the only way, so..." "Let's go kick some buttocks!" Riley Halladay yelled, finishing Maggott's sentence. "I was just about to say that, I think," Invisible Woman said cracking a smile. The heroes followed King Daloa and Maximus to a kingdom of gold and silver. It must have been King Daloa's kingdom. Invisible Woman turned all her compatriots invisible, and they entered the city. They eventually made their way to the town square where, Black Bolt - seemingly a stone statue - was surrounded by a red, gold, and emerald ruby. Suddenly, the heroes were no longer invisible. "Hello heroes! Glad to see you showed up. As you can see, Black Bolt is encased in stone. The red ruby is the Eye of Consolence. The gold ruby is the Evolution Gem and the emerald ruby is the Midnight Diamond. All four were key ingredients to the Octense Dream," King Daloa said. "Okay mister, I'm about sick and tired of your babble! Let's teach this guy some manners!" Alan yelled. Before Alan could even move in for an attack, a lighting bolt struck him down. "Well, this is interesting. All these heroes here for the picking. Oh by the way, good job Static King for taking out that loud mouth down there," Diablo said with a giggle in his voice. "What?! Who are all these freaks?!" King Daloa yelled in surprise. "I am Diablo, and all the others are associates of mine. We are here for the Eye of Consolence! Group-hug, everbody!" Diablo commanded. King Daloa reacted by summoning his knights. Charlie-28 bashed in the heads of a bunch of the knights. He did it all with glee. He then picked up the body of one knight and ripped him limb from limb. He then used the still-living torso to beat the daylights out of another knight. Mega Photon used his control over light to make himself invisible as he plowed through the knights with some guns. Binary was using her powers to create a light force field around all the heroes, which they were having a hard time breaking through. She was having a hard time holding it together. She could have held on for just a little bit longer too, but Stone Girl unexpectedly snuck up on her and turned her to stone. The heroes were now free and this was now officially a three-way war. That no longer mattered to Diablo though, because he was right by the Eye of Consolence. As soon as he grabbed hold of it he was blown away by it's energy. The Eye of Consolence was burning with a bright new intensity. The battle almost stopped completely because all were in awe of the Eye of Consolence. The Eye of Consolence suddenly shot out beams of light hitting Invisible Woman, Medea, Black Bolt, and Binary. Black Bolt and Binary had turned back to flesh. The beam seemed to have no effect on Medea, but it had done something very odd to Invisible Woman. There were now two Sue Richards. One was in the regular Fantastic Four uniform. The other was wearing a tight purple, spandex outfit. The sleeves of the outfit went to her elbows. The shirt was a mid-riff and the pants went a little above her ankles. She wore a black necklace, black high heels, black braclets and black earings. "Whoa! This isn't even funny!" Maggott exclaimed. "I agree with thee on that young warrior," Achilles replied. "Look, the purple Sue is starting to disappear," Doc Diamond said. "That was real smart. 'The purple Sue'. I think they must let anyone become heroes these days," Tigra said, shaking her head. Despite Doc Diamond's terming of it, one of the Sue's was disappearing. Eventually she was gone. The question was where? The heroes didn't have too much time to worry about that though, because they still had King Daloa and Maximus to deal with. "Hey, where did Diablo go?" Twister asked. "I have no clue, but I do know we have Daloa's knights to deal with. Achilles, take Sue, Medea, and Alan off of the battlefield!" Tigra commanded. "I will do this for you fair lady," Achilles said as he dragged the three bodies to a safer spot. Meanwhile, Tyler was using his telekinesis to rip knights to pieces left and right. He was decimating Daloa's knights. Erika was using her power to make the knights mad at one another. "Let us leave this place!" Gorgon yelled with Black Bolt over his shoulder. "Alrighty then!" Portal said, creating portals to suck back each hero individually into the Four Freedoms Plaza. The Next Day "Well, I see everyone has left except for me and my Inhumans," Medusa said. "Oh trust me, you don't have to leave," Invisible Woman said. "Well, it is not like I could. Remember I have a promise to stay with you guys," Medusa said. "Actually Medusa I think you should go back with your people. I'm sure we could find a fourth member," Invisible Woman said. "Yes, but I don't won't to feel like I am deserting you all," Medusa said. "My Queen, I shall stay," Triton said. "See, it's settled. Triton will be our fourth member," Invisble Woman said. "That is a very noble thing of you to do Triton. I guess we should be leaving then, my Inhumans," Medusa said. After many farewells, the Inhumans finally left back to their kingdom. "So leader, what will our first order of business be?" Tigra asked. "Well, since it is Franklin's birthday tomorrow, I want to give him a grand birthday party," Sue said smiling. Sue has been really good at hiding her emotions. I know she is hurting from the loss of Reed, Johhny and Ben. I think she tries to maintain for her child, but if she doesn't let out some of these emotions she's going to go nuts! Tigra thought to herself. Man, my first mission with the Fantastic Four and I'm already exhausted. Sheesh, how do these guys save the world on a daily basis? Maggott thought to himself. Oh Reed where are you?! I don't know how long I can hold on without you. I know you are out there and that is the part that kills me. I can only hope you are alright, Invisible Woman thought to herself. "Guys, come see this!" Alicia Masters yelled. The heroes rushed to where she was at to see her in something shocking. She was wearing the same suit Medusa had on when she was the Undying Force. Could it be now that Alicia Masters was the Undying Force? Meanwhile in Franklin's Room "You promise," Franklin said. "Of course I promise. Why on Earth would I ever want to miss your party, dear Franklin?" the mysterious stranger asked. "Great! I'm glad you're coming," Franklin said smiling. "So how old will you be?" the mysterious stranger asked. "I'm going to be six years old!" Franklin exclaimed. "Excellent. I'll make sure to bring you a good present," Franklin's new 'playmate' said. Charleston, North Carolina "Alan, now what do we do?" Shaquita asked her lover. "Well, I want to find out where Diablo is and why he was after the Eye of Consolence," Alan replied. "First though, I think we should deal with some other issues," Jonathan suggested. "Like what?" Riley asked. "The fact that I have recieved the Evolution Gem and Erika has recieved the Midnight Diamond," Antonio said. "Antonio I think we should give these new powers of yours and Erika's a test run. I say we do that against Diablo and his goons. How about you?" Alan asked. "I have never objected to a good butt-whupping!" Antonio cried. "All right then, it is settled. Let's get to finding Diablo!" Alan commanded. |
