"The threat of Medea approaches rapidly Fantastic Four," Ares said to the heroes gathered on the third floor of Four Freedoms Plaza. "Ares what stake do you have in this Medea mess?" Invisible Woman asked. "If you do not fight and defeat Medea, Olympus will be leveled to the ground," Ares said coldly. "Oh so this is a matter of your own survival," Tigra said. "The Ares of my world wasn't half as cowardly as you," Mutant Forger said. "Speaking of your world, the prophecy says after Medea is defeated someone or something called the Armageddon Star will arrive on this world," Ares said. "No… that can't be! We... I thought... no you are lying to me!" Mutant Forger yelled. Reed ran to his side to try and calm down Mutant Forger. "Who or what is this Armageddon Star?" Invisible Woman asked. "I guess it is time we tell the full tale. I told you Sue that Mutant Forger didn't want me to tell you what went down when I was in his universe. It is because we both were responsible for destroying his universe. The Watcher of his universe told us that the Armageddon Star had destroyed countless other universes. Mutant Forger's was just going to be one more on the list. So Mutant Forger and I decided to save other universes by destroying his. I created a device that would create a million huge black holes all at one time destroying his universe. I also created a dimension-hopping device that would get me and him back to this universe. That was why Mutant Forger was so reluctant to tell anything about what happened while I was in his universe," Reed explained. "Ahh now I know of this Armageddon Star. Your Watcher fooled you, Mutant Forger. The Armageddon Star can be destroyed, but when he dies a thousand universes are forged and another Armageddon Star is born," Ares said. "We... never knew," Mutant Forger said in a low voice. "Guys come quick, Medea is attacking Pearl Harbor in Hawaii!" Alicia shouted. "Good luck heroes," Ares said, disappearing into thin air. Pearl Harbor "Why is Lila here with us?" Maggott asked Mr. Fantastic "She is a very capable person and powerful enough," Mr. Fantastic said looking down on a burning Pearl Harbor. "Let's land this bird and kick Medea's butt!" Thing shouted When they landed they saw Medea had enlarged herself to the size of the Statue of Liberty. Thing grew to Medea's size and punched her in the face. Medea staggered, but hit Thing in kind with a blast of her own that turned him into a doll. "BEN!!" Invisible Woman shouted as she encased Medea within an invisible force field and began to decrease the size of the shield, quickly crushing the body of Medea. Medea shrugged off the force field by using her magic to shatter it and then turned all the shattered pieces into trolls to attack the heroes. Maggott took care of the trolls rather quickly by unleashing fifteen of his maggots upon them. The sight was gruesome to see, but it did get rid of the trolls rather quickly. Medea then caused lightning to come down from the sky and it hit Human Torch, taking him out of the battle. Mutant Forger and Undying then attacked Medea. Mutant Forger used his telekinesis and Alicia was shooting off star energy at Medea. Medea unexpectedly broke into giant pieces of glass. Each piece of glass turned into a gargoyle. Mutant Forger used his telekinesis to confine the gargoyles to one area and Undying killed them all with a single giant fireball. Medea then rose out of the ground and blasted Mr. Fantastic and Tigra with shafts of light, turning them into stone. Mutant Forger then used a large chunk of his telekinesis to rip the arms off of Medea. She yelled out in pain and created an ice shaft that went straight through Mutant Forger. He fell to the ground, near dead. Lila Storm fired off her optic blasts at Medea and they were just enough to make Medea fall to her knees. Lila almost screamed when she saw the arms of Medea turn into giant snakes. Lila used her power over the elements though, to change them into big statues of gold. When Lila looked up she saw Medea growing new arms. "Surrender Lila," and when Lila turned around to see what it was that had said that she saw an armor-clad warrior. The warrior punched her and she fell to the ground unconscious. "STOP THIS NOW!!!" Undying screamed, unleashing a blast that enveloped all of the island of Oahu. After the blast, the only person down was Medea and she was dead. Undying was on the ground unconscious. Mutant Forger was healed, Thing was back to his normal self as were the rest of the heroes. "We won," Invisible Woman said. The Next Day "Guys come here quickly!" Undying yelled to her teammates over the intercom. A few minutes later everyone was where Undying was at. "What's wrong Alicia?" Invisible Woman asked worried. "I sense Armageddon Star. He is here and amongst us. I sense him in New York City," Alicia said holding her forehead because of the tremendous amount of power she felt from Armageddon Star. "What are we going to do against someone so powerful?" Invisible Woman said. "I have an idea. We lock him up in a dimensional vortex like we did to Supreme Evolutionary," Mr. Fantastic said. "That's an excellent idea Reed. We just have to make sure we are prepared for anything that Armageddon Star throws at us," Mutant Forger advised. Three Hours Later "Thing hit him hard and fast! Sue, shield him and squeeze! Maggott, copy his powers! Mutant Forger, hold him still with your telekinesis! Undying, increase Mutant Forger's powers!" Reed shouted all his commands and they were all followed with precision. Armageddon Star was now in a stationary position and wide open to a blast from Mr. Fantastic that would lock him up for good. Reed aimed it and fired. The blast hit Armageddon Star and he began to dissolve into the pocket dimension Reed was locking him in. "That seemed a little too easy," Undying said. "Tell me about it. I was expecting to be a lot more difficult than it was," Mutant Forger said. "I believe I can form an explanation. This Armageddon Star was inexperienced so he was easier to defeat. I guess it was luck that we got the chance to fight him before he became too powerful," Reed said wiping some sweat off of his forehead. "I say we get home and make sure that Armageddon Star is locked up securely," Invisible Woman suggested and with that the heroes flew, walked and teleported back home. |
