Fantastic Four: To live to die another day

Chapter 1 – Hopelessly defeated

"This time he's done it, I can't figure out a way to stop Dr. Doom" Reed slammed his oversized fist into the computer systems.

"There must be a way to stop him" Sue ran to the comfort of her devoted husband.

"Come on strecho, you can't give up that fast" Ben standing nearby watching the frustration going through the air.

"Two weeks is almost up and I haven't the slightest way to outwit Dr. Doom. He has completely harvest the power of the silver surfer and has learned the weakest of it" Reed going through the numbers again. "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do, but pray for a miracle."

"What? We're just going to give up just like that? I rather die than be under the rule of Dr. Doom" Johnny clinched his fist so hard that his hands burned with supernova heat.

"Well, if Strecho's big brain can't help us then our big muscle will just have to do" Ben walked through Reed's lab door and headed for the fantastic car. Johnny following closely behind him.

"Johnny. Ben. Wait. "Sue tried to stop them. She knew quite well that fighting hand to hand combat was a signing their death warrants.

"You heard Reed, Sis. It's time to fight" Johnny angry.

"Reed" Sue hopelessly turned to her husband with concern in her eyes.

"Johnny's right sweetheart. The best chance we have is to fight" Reed's eyes harden with a new raging emotion.

"Well, Well. After all these years, it finally comes down to this Richards" Dr. Doom held Reed by his neck as he neutralized his powers. "You never could stand me being more intelligence than you" Dr. Doom smiled beneath his iron mask.

"Leave him alone you mad man!" Sue tried her best to use her invisible shield to help Reed, but it was no use. Dr. Doom has invented some kind of contraption to neutralize all of the fantastic four powers.

"Now all of you will be my prisoners and all of you can watch me as I dominate this pathetic world with my great powers!" Dr. Doom laughed his evil laughter as Ben and Johnny tried her very hardest to get up from the blow they had taken.

Dr. Doom levitated them all up in mid-air and threw them into a cage. A cage that he build for them especially, it will nullify all powers that they have and the best part was that it had a large transparent screen right in front of them so they can watch helplessly as Dr. Doom rules the world.

"You'll never get away with this Doom" Sue last's word made it to Doom before he left them like sitting ducks.

"Oh yeah Mrs. Richards? Who's going to stop me? Certainly not the fantastic four!" Dr. Doom laughed his way out of the prison cell.

"What are we going to do now?" Johnny weakly asked while trying to flame on.

"I don't know" Reed buried his head into his hands. "I don't know" He repeated.
