Hi there people! So, I deleted the original Fantastic Soul because I wasn't liking where it was going. Don't get me wrong, I lovethe idea, but I didn't like the way I approached it, so I'm trying a new plot. However, this is more of a side thing to update when I'm low on ideas for my other fic. Enjoy!

"AHHHHHH!" screamed Johnny as the monster threw him into the side of a building. The fiery hero rose from the rubble with small cuts on his face.
"Yo Flamebrain, ya alright?" yelled Ben, trying to pound the creature with his rocky fists.
"I'm fine, but what the heck is that thing?" he asked while looking at the thing that threw him. The creature stood on all fours, but looked like it would have overshadowed Ben if it stood upright. Its body was composed of crimson skin, with a black streak of hair that started at its head and ended at its mid-back. The creature's eyes were a golden yellow, dulled with anger. On its feet were four claws that looked like they could cut through diamond, matching its teeth. At the moment, Reed's body was wrapped around the creature's, trying to avoid the claws, Ben was trying to smash the thing without hurting his best friend, and Susan was holding a shield to protect the curious pedestrians, which was causing a real strain on her mental health.
"Reed, what is this thing, is it from the Negative Zone?" The Invisible Woman asked through gritted teeth. Just then, the creature threw its entire body to where the blonde was, throwing Reed in the same direction. The FF leader landed on the shield's side with a thud.
"I'm don't believe so, residents of the Negative Zone have an insect-like appearance, this creature's appearance looks more mammal-like." Reed replied while rubbing his head.
"Well, big bug or not, this thing's goin down! It's clobberin' time!" The Thing shouted while charging towards the monster. Ben was able to land one rock-filled punch on the creature's snout, causing it to land harshly on the invisible barrier. Susan, unable to handle the added pressure, was forced to release the shield, giving the creature access to the citizens. The monster gave a devious smile, pleased to be released from its prison.
"Soulssssss." The creature hissed as it approached a mother and her son, both too shocked to move. The monster was about to sink its claws into its victims when a small burst of blue energy hit its hand. The creature wailed in pain as one of its claws dethatched itself from the hand, landing on the street farther away. Everyone, even the Fantastic Four, looked up to see the source of the blue spark. Its origins were from a tall masculine figure. The only thing visible were his eyes, as the rest of his face was hidden with a ski mask and his body was encased in a black trench coat. In his hands were two silver pistols, one with smoke on the barrel.
"Back off!" The mystery figure barked as he jumped onto the concrete street, right in front of the creature. Resisting the pain, the monster lunged for the man with its remaining claws, only to be dodged by the figure jumping up. Still in mid-air, the figure lifted both of his pistols and fired a barrage of blue bullets, almost all of them hitting the creature square in the torso. Cringing in pain, the monster tried once more to slash at his new opponent, but the masked man managed to dodge every attack. The new man jumped on the tops of cars, with the roofs taking the clawed blows for him. The figure sprigged upward once more and landed on the creature's neck, sitting in a position much like one would if they were riding a horse. The figure placed the pistols on top of the monster's skull and pulled the trigger.
The creature shouted in immense pain as its attacker jumped off before its body was immersed in a black outline. The black presence started swirling into itself, forming a maroon, cracked ball with a tail on top. The crowd began to cheer as the masked stranger landed on the concrete once more.
"Yo buddy! That was awesome!" Johnny yelled out as he and the other FF were running over to the masked man. The figure slightly turned his head before wincing in pain. Just as the FF got there, the monster killer suddenly toppled over, lying on the ground unconscious.

"Place him on the table and I look over him." Reed ordered as Ben placed the masked stranger on the lab table, with Johnny placing the two pistols near it. The stretchy scientist pressed a single button, releasing three bars that towered over the figure, encasing him onto the metal surface. The FF leader started scanning over the mystery man, making sure that he was okay.
"All of his vitals look okay. It seems like he's just suffered from exhaustion."
"I'd be exhausted too if I had to deal with both a monster and the paparazzi, I'm surprised we were able to get'im outta there." The Thing added, remembering the struggle the four had to go through to get the man, his pistols, and the red ball (Reed wished to study it) over the jungle of reporters.
"We'd better remove that mask of his; it looks like he's burning up." Susan stated as she grabbed the corners of the ski mask before her brother interrupted.
"No don't!"
"Why not?"
"Because, maybe he wants to stay masked, ya' know, be all mysterious and stuff."
"Well, I'm pretty sure he'd rather have his identity revealed than die of a heat stroke." The blonde retorted as she finished removing the mask, only to give a look of utter shock.
"Wh-wh-what the…?" she trailed off, receiving confused looks from her teammates. Ben rushed over to his friend.
"Suzie, wh-no way." The rocky man stated when he got there, completely stunned as well. Both Johnny and Reed went over to the two.
"What's wrong with you two?" the stretchy scientist asked his teammates, who were blocking his view of the man.
"Stretch, ya better have a look at this." Ben told his best friend, moving out of the way so both he and Johnny could see. The two glanced over, and their faces turned into an expression of utter confusion.
"Woah!" was all Johnny Storm was able to mutter, his mouth too paralyzed from astonishment.
"How-this can't be-what?" The FF leader mumbled, who seemed to be the most bewildered out of the family of superheroes.
For the man behind the mask…looked exactly like…Reed?
