Interplanet Janet

!!SPECIAL EFFECTS!! "THOUGHTS"

Chapter Eight

!!ZAP!! !!BLAST!! "I'll get you, my pretty!" Morgan Le Fey called out as she flew in the air over fifty stories high after having been tagged Interplanet Janet with an eldritch blast which knocked the galaxy girl flying back end over end through one of the windows and out of the Four Freedom's Plaza.

"I'll get you my pretty? That is so Wizard of Oz!" Janet said as she countered the sorceress' eldritch blasts with her own light based energy attacks. Both of them were flying through the city during their aerial battle. In less than a New York minute they had flown several blocks away from the Four Freedom's Plaza.

"What's going on up there?!" someone called out from the traffic jammed streets of 5th avenue.

"It's another super hero battle! But I don't know who those girls are but they're both hot!" someone called out from his slow moving car.

"Look out! The blond haired chick just took a hit! She's flying towards that sky high metro rail!" another motorist called out as Janet's stunned form came crashing into the moving car to the shock and fear of the occupants.

"Who's the blond? I've never seen her before!" a metro rail passenger called out.

" I don't know, man. Look out! Someone else is coming. It's Morgan Le Fey! She's going to blast the blond again!" another metro rail passenger exclaimed.

"You think you're suffering pain now? You have yet to suffer for what you've done," the Elven sorceress exclaimed as she blasted the galaxy girl with another mystical energy blast.

"Are you talking about what happened with Thor? You had no right to..."

"I had every right! You ruined my control over the mighty Thor; for that you must pay!"

"I didn't want Thor under your control. I foiled your plans. So what do you want me to do?"

"Why you two faced, Harlot!"

"Harlot?! I don't demand money. You have me confused with Flare!"

"What?! I know not of what you speak but I shall have my revenge upon thee." !!ZAP!!

"Oof! It's time for a new tactic." The galaxy girl flew towards the sorceress at super speed, slamming into her and hitting her with punch and kick combinations so fast the human eye couldn't follow.

"Ungh! Do you think me a weakling? I've made myself a goddess! You can't kill me. You won't even be able to defeat me with your petty fists."

"Oh, really? Let's see about that." The galaxy girl pressed her attack, getting several punches and kicks in, causing the sorceress pain, getting through her mystic force field and knocking her far away from the metro rail car. Before she left she smiled and waved at the passengers and flew off after the sorceress.

"Aaaagh!" the fairy goddess sorceress screamed as she blasted Janet with an area effect cone blast that increased in size as it knocked her back further and further away. But Morgan Le Fey wasn't through yet. She then created a giant hand which grabbed the galaxy girl and threw her into a large electric Coca Cola sign which gave Janet more than a little shock as she came crashing into it.

"Aieeeee!"

"I'm not through with you yet!"

"You are through!" While still in pain, Janet grabbed one of the broken electrified wires and used it as a whip and entangled the sorceress in it.

"Aaargh! You'll pay for that!" But before Morgan Le Fey could do anything else Janet flew off, breaking free of the electrical wires she had gotten herself entangled in. "Where do you think you're going?"

"All I wanted was the big blue sky! All I wanted was the big blue sky! The air! The air!" the blond bombshell sang as she flew towards an abandoned factory in the less populated part of the city with the elven sorceress right on her heels despite the fact Janet was flying faster than the speed of sound.

"Are you a minstrel or a warrior? Enough of your singing!" Morgan Le Fey said as she attempted to blast Janet into oblivion with more of her eldritch blasts. Janet dodged a particular nasty blast, as she flew right through a second story window of the factory, smashing her way through, sending glass everywhere. But despite all that, the goddess/sorceress was right behind her.

"Hey, I like to sing during my fights sometimes. Deal with it! But I'm telling you one thing."

"What is that?"

"I suggest you be very careful around here. If our fight gets too hectic we'll bring the whole place down. So you better be careful. You better watch what you're doing in here," Janet said, waving her finger at her like a school teacher discipling an errant child.

"You dare give me orders, mortal?! I shall do what I please, you slut!" Morgan Le Fey began to breathe in and increase her power. "I'm going to bring this building down on your head while I create a magic sphere to protect me. You're finished."

"Don't you dare do that! Don't you dare!" The sorceress' eyes seemed to glow as a green aura around her body appeared and increased. The sorceress exploded with power, causing the iron workings of the building to come down on her.

"Aargh! What the?!" Morgan screamed as the iron came crashing down on the both of them. Despite the pain she suffered, Janet was able to get up and grab a metal iron girder and struck the vulnerable-to-iron-sorceress with it several times at super speed, spinning around countless times, hitting the sorceress with the iron girder like a baseball bat. Within seconds Morgan Le Fey was on the ground unconscious.

"I told you to be careful in here, you witch! Have you forgotten about your weakness to iron? I haven't." The galaxy girl then took off, leaving the building to fly back towards the Four Freedom's Plaza, hoping her new family had come out of the battle with the Frightful Four all right.

"Kind of messy but not bad."

Janet quickly turned around to see, "Spider-Man! It's so great to see you. You're one of my favorite super heroes!"

"Yeah. That's nice. You want to tell me who you are?" Spider-Man said, swinging through on a web line right next to her as she flew.

"I'm Interplanet Janet! I'm a galaxy girl. I've been to lots of places seen a lot of worlds. I've traveled like a comet with a lot of speed. But there's never been a planet that I haven't seen. No, there's never been a planet that I haven't seen."

Spider-Man looked at Interplanet Janet, face faulting and shaking his head. "Why exactly were you fighting Morgan Le Fey? Were you two arguing about Thor? It makes sense Morgan Le Fey would control over Thor; a lot of women want Thor. You into Thor yourself?"

"I was but he still loves Sif. She's had thousands of years to get with that guy but when I came on to him myself she gets all jealous! Talk about playing hard to get."

Spider-Man regarded the golden haired super heroine for a moment. "You were fighting one of the most powerful super villains around over Thor when he's already with another woman?"

"Thor had me come to Asgard because Morgan had his home invaded so she could distract everyone so she could use some kind of mind control spell to take control over him. I hate when anyone man or woman tries to exert control, thus forcing themselves on someone like that. Don't go where you're not invited, that's what I always say."

"Oh. That makes sense now. Wait. What are you doing?" Spidey said in surprise as the drop dead gorgeous blond flew closer towards him, giving him that look.

"You know what?"

"What?"

"I've always liked you, Spidey. You're not still dating the Black Cat, are you? She normally hangs out with you but I don't see her anywhere around here. I really hope you've broken up."

"That was years ago, Janet. That relationship is over. I..."

"Oh, great. I'll treat you right. I'll accept you either as a super hero or in your secret ID. You're hot either way."

Spider-Man gently swung to the top of a nearby building and landed. "How do you know how I look in my secret ID? I could be as ugly as sin under this mask for all you know."

Janet closed in on Spider-Man and whispered. "I know all about your life as a photographer, Peter."

Spidey had a look of shock that the blond bombshell recognized. "What the? Are you some kind of mind reader?!"

"No. It's long story. I'm from another universe. In the universe from which I came you and most every other super hero here was a comic book character. Your comic book was one of the most popular second to the X-Men. You've suffered so much since your poor Uncle Ben died until now. But don't worry. Janet will make it all better."

"Speaking of comics, I thought you looked familiar. You're that chick from that Champions RPG, a game I played back when I was a kid. I always thought you were gorgeous. I used to fantasize about you."

"Really? I'm your dream lover but you don't have to dream anymore," the galaxy girl sang, giving the hero a sexy wink.

Spidey blushed under his mask but got his composure. "But if you know so much, how come you don't that I'm married?"

Janet looked at him with a look of shock and surprise. "Married? To who?"

Spider-Man shook his finger. "No. No. No. Wouldn't you like to know?"

"You're so hot when you do that. It's a pity you're married but I'm not a home wrecker."

"I'm free, darlin."

Both heroes turned to see, "Wolverine! I never even sensed you being there! What's shakin?"

"I had some business in the area. When I saw the fight you had with Morgan Le Fey. I wondered what it was all about so I leaped over from building to building when I saw you here."

"So what did you think of it?"

"Not bad. I was mildly impressed with your fighting skills even though you fight like a character from DragonballZ. But what's goin on at your parents' building? I saw some people flying over there. Villains I suspect. It doesn't look too good."

"Indeed! I have no idea where you've come from, woman. But I find you comely." Everyone turned to see Namor of Atlantis also known as the Sub-Mariner floating in the air not too far from them.

"Namor? When did you get here?"

"I had planned a visit when I noticed several ruthless villains had taken over the Fantastic Four's building. then I noticed the battle you had with the sorceress. You have valor befitting a queen."

"Uh, yeah," Janet said unimpressed with the presence of the Sub-Mariner. "Oh, no! I have to get back to the Baxter Building. My family were fighting the Frightful Four. They'll probably beat them up but that's not for sure. It's been nice talking to you guys but I need to go."

"Baxter Building? It's called the Four Freedoms Plaza. You are from another universe! What do you have to do with the Fantastic Four?" Spider-Man exclaimed.

"I'm Reed and Susan Richards' daughter. I'd like to explain everything to you but I've spent too much time here. It's too bad you're married, Spidey. I was so ready to jump your bones."

"The Fantastic Four are friends of mine if their in trouble I'd like to help."

"I'll help too. I guess we X-Men owe you for what happened with your younger brother, Franklin," Wolverine piped in.

"Younger brother?" Spider-Man said in surprise.

"What?!" Namor exclaimed. "Younger brother? There's no way Reed Richards could have sired such a beautiful young woman."

Janet regarded the Sub-Mariner for a moment. "I am his Reed Richards' daughter! But if you guys want to come along that will be just fine."

"All right. But drop me off several yards away from the building. You have as much stealth as an atom bomb," Wolverine said gravely.

"You got that right, Wolvie. If she's like I remember, Janet has a tendency to come on like gangbusters. I bet she'll show up there singing some 80's song."

"How did you know that?!" Janet said in surprise. "You really were a big fan of mine!"

"Yeah. Don't get too close to the building. We want to stay out of sight. I'll swing it the rest of the way. But if you want to go in singing like you normally do, at least make an effort to try and sneak in. As soon as you're engaged in combat with all the other super villains there Wolvie and I will sneak in and free the Fantastic Four."

"I shall go as well. I came seeking aid for some problems my kingdom is having. I see I'll have to rescue my helpers before they can help me. But it will be an honor fighting beside a woman of your boundless beauty," Namor said, kissing Janet's hand.

"Uh, yeah. Well, we better get going," Janet said nervously, getting her hand away from the sea king.

"So what happened to those two hot babes?" Electro asked no one in particular after the two combatants were no longer in view.

"They are irrelevant. Let them go on and fight each other. I have bigger fish to fry."

"What will we do with the effing F.F?" Electro asked with a sense of glee.

"You mean what will I do with the Fantastic Four? Don't forget that I'm the mastermind behind this."

"Yeah, sure. But you have to admit that blond chick was hot!" Electro exclaimed with a smile on his face.

"I agree despite her 80's hairstyle and manner. And those clothes! Someone needs to tell her the 80's are over," Trapster interjected.

"Who cares?! I'd do it with a hot babe in any time period."

"Will you two shut up?!" the Wizard ordered. !!BEEP!!BEEP!! "My other associate is trying to contact me."

"I suppose you've already taken over the Fantastic Four's base, Wizard?"

"That is correct, Dr. Octopus. I told you I could do it and I did. My genius is unparalleled."

"Yes. I have a few other super villains with me like Titania, the Owl, the Vulture, Speed Demon, the Beetle and Dansen Macabre. We're ready to show up at the Four Freedom's Plaza whenever you're ready."

"Good. Show up at the docking bay. When everyone's here I'll begin my plans of conquest."

"Conquest?"

"Yes. I'm not just stopping here. I plan to create a group of super villains that will surpass the Masters of Evil, destroying the Avengers and even the X-Men if they get in the way."

"Your plans are ambitious, Wizard. I'm impressed. But I hear the Fantastic Four has a new ally."

"She is being dealt with as we speak."

"I saw her take on Morgan Le Fey. This ally is very powerful. We can talk about this later when I get there. But keep in mind I want the destruction of Spider-Man as the price of my loyalty."

"Of course, Dr. Octopus. As long as you stay loyal you can have that wall crawler. I am in charge of all this; you keep that in mind," the Wizard said with a sense of authority.

"Yes, of course," Dr. Octopus said feigning compliance. "As soon as everything comes to fruition I'm going to take all of it away from you, Wizard.Then I'll be the Master of New York City!"

"You guys all right?" Janet asked as she flew towards the Four Freedoms Plaza with Spider-Man and Wolverine in tow.

"Not much for flying but I'm all right. I remember you having X-Ray and telescopic vision of some kind; do you still have these powers?" Spider-Man asked.

"Yes. I do."

"It might be a good idea to see what's going on," Spider-Man interjected.

"Good idea. There's..."

"What do you see?"

"They've been captured. The Wizard's cackling over his supposed victory. Gasp!"

"What is it?"

"Dr. Octopus just walked in the main control room along with the Owl, Blue Beetle, Speed Demon, the Vulture, some tall buffed out chick and a woman wearing a white leotard with a large black string."

"Tall buffed out chick?"

"I've never seen her before. She has long brown hair, a spiked outfit with an open midriff. My, her uniform is tacky."

Spider-Man regarded Janet's own uniform for a moment and shook his head while Wolverine smirked. "That must be Titania. Watch out for her; she's dangerous. She's about as strong as the Hulk. The other woman in the white leotard is Dansen Macabre. She uses mental hypnotism and illusions."

"That's all right I've learned how to resist mind control and things like that."

"Drop me off right here, right on this building, Janet," Wolverine interjected.

"That's a good idea," Spider-Man said as Janet dropped Wolverine off on said building. "Just let me go right here. I'll swing a web line and get there soon enough."

"All right. See you there!"

A little later Janet used her key card to open a hidden door near the basement. The door actually looked like a wall but like all the members of the Fantastic Four Janet knew where the hidden openings were.

"Hmm. It seems our stranger has just returned from fighting Morgan Le Fey," the Wizard said, observing the monitor.

"Wow! She's still hot!" Electro exclaimed.

"I'll say!" the Trapster remarked.

"Silence! This is a good time to inform the city of my demands and that I'm in control of all the Four Freedoms Plaza."

"What are you planning?" Dr. Octopus asked, his eyes narrowing at the Wizard.

"The Wizard grated at being questioned but he explained himself. "I've already have everything in place to take over all the broadcast waves of new York city and the surrounding environments."

The criminal mastermind pushed a few buttons and announced, "PEOPLE OF NEW YORK. BOW DOWN TO YOUR NEW MASTER, THE WIZARD. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN OVER THE HOMEBASE OF THE FANTASTIC FOUR AND THE BROADCAST AND RADIO WAVES OF THE CITY. IF YOU DON'T WANT NEW YORK GROUND TO A HALT YOU WILL GIVE ME 1,000,000,000.00 IN CASH AND GOLD. AS YOU CAN SEE THE FANTASTIC FOUR ARE AT MY MERCY. AND TO SHOW YOU I MEAN BUSINESS, I SHALL SLAY THEM BUT FIRST THEY HAVE AN ALLY WHO'S TRYING TO RESCUE THEM. SHE GOES BY THE NAME, INTERPLANET JANET. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HER CONNECTION TO THE FANTASTIC FOUR IS BUT SHE WILL DIE FIRST!"

The Wizard then showed Janet sneaking in. Every TV, satellite feed and other communication devices were transmitting the scene under the Wizard's control. "NOW WATCH THIS FOOLISH GIRL FAIL TO SAVE THE FANTASTIC FOUR AND PERISH!"

"Let me at her; I'll rip her apart!" the large, powerful woman known as Titania said, cracking her knuckles.

"All right. But take Dansen Macabre, the Brothers Grimm and Speed Demon with you."

"I don't need them!"

"I know you don't, my dear. But I want to see how these people function against this Interplanet Janet. Now go. There are hidden entrances everywhere. Be sure to use them to surprise this girl," the Wizard ordered.

"Oh, goody. Blondie's walking right into my trap!" a short man wearing a white suit with red hair said with a grin.

"I was amazed that you were able to set up shop so quickly, Arcade. But since she is in the area where you have set up your obstacle course I'll grant YOU the largess of letting you do her in.

"This doesn't look right. How has the Wizard changed everything so quickly," Janet thought to herself, regarding the changed area which looked like a white painted corridor with strange pictures, As she quietly walked through the dark area, the song, the Riddle by Nik Kershaw, occurred to her. She had been watching Vh1 Classic and really liked the video for the song when she saw it. As she broke through a wall a thin wall two holograms appeared. They wore red and blue body suits with skull like masks. They didn't attack but passed by her laughing at her. Janet looked at them, puzzled then she sang the song.

"I got two strong arms, blessings of avalon with time to carry on,"

As she walked around and sang, Janet noticed her little sister, Valera, a few yards in front of her, wearing a white dress, putting her hands into a box and throwing things out of it. But before Janet could get to her "Valera" walked through a small door, closing it behind her. "Was that an illusion? I can't get this door open!" As Janet contemplated these things, she sang without consciously thinking about it.

"and try for sins and alarms, so to America the brave, wisemen save."

Janet looked around bewilderedly, noticing a small sliding door parchment within a larger door slide open to reveal the laughing face of, "Arcade? What's he doing here?" Before Janet could get to the door the parchment closed shut. Janet pounded the door for a bit then kept on walking through the hallway.

"Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground, where an old man of aran goes around and around, and his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night, for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right, but he'll never ever fight over you."

"My X-ray vision isn't picking up anything either. Wait! Who's that dancing around in circles behind the wall? Dansen Macabre! Is she creating these illusions? It's like she's on a merry go round. I'll have to figure a way out of this psionic trap."

"I got plans for us, nights in the scullery and days instead of me, I only want to discuss, of for anything but light, wise men fighting over you"

As Janet walked through the makeshift, illusionary hallway, singing her song, she checked some doors of various sizes, finding them to be locked. She couldn't even open them with all vaunted strength. Eventually she came to a mirror. At first she saw herself then she saw Dansen Macabre dancing around along with her string.

"It's not me you see, pieces of valentine, with just a song of mine, to keep from burning history, seasons of gasoline and gold, wise men fold."

Janet touched the mirror only to put her hand through it as if it was water. After shaking her hands dry, Janet tried her X-Ray vision again only to see Arcade standing with burning effigies of her fantastic family. "Hope for his sake that's another illusion. I never had a code against killing."

"Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground, where an old man of aran goes around and around, and his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night, for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right, but he'll never ever fight over you."

All of a sudden Speed Demon attacked her with a speeding move by attack, knocking her off balance as he sped off. Even though she used her acrobatic skills to keep from being off balance all together, Titania immediately appeared right by a wall that had painted stairs on it and slammed Janet into the wall which was on the other side of the corridor.

"I've had enough of your singing, blondie! It's time to see how well you can fight!" the bigger and stronger woman threatened.

"All right. I'll be happy to accommodate you." Once again Speed Demon came back and attempted to smash into Janet. But this time Janet was ready. As Titania came at her Janet martial threw the charging woman into the oncoming Speed Demon. Janet managed to use Titania's strength against Speed Demon while using the latter's speed against Titania, causing the two to slam into each other, knocking themselves out.

"Oof!" Then the galaxy girl walked away from the unconscious villains, resumed singing and walking the hallway to where, she didn't know. At that point Janet walked into what seemed like Dansen Macabre's long string. After getting herself untangled of it the string disappeared.

Janet used her X-Ray vision again to peer out of the corridor walls only to see the two men who she had seen earlier wearing the blue and red leotards and laughing at her. As she kept walking she saw the same duo inside the corridor still laughing at her but this time she blasted the both of them, knocking them both out unconscious.

"When does this end? This is taking too long. I need to end this charade!" Janet thought to herself as she kept on walking and began to sing again.

"I got time to kill, sly looks in corridors, without a plan of yours, a blackbird sings on bluebird hill, thanks to the calling of the wild, wise mens child."

At this point Janet began to whistle the tune to the song.

"What is Janet doing?" the Invisible Woman said in a whisper while being restrained and watching the main viewing screen. "Everyone is watching this. Must she sing that song while she walks around in circles?"

"That song's code, Sue. She told me about it earlier. She would have told you too if you weren't so busy criticizing everything she did. I read her canceled comic book where she would often sing for no apparent reason as if she was in an 80's music video. When she was watching the video to the song she's singing she told me the song would be a great code meaning she had help on the way. I'm not sure who's with her but someone else is."

"Hmm. If the performance Janet is giving is a distraction for our rescuers then she's more resourceful than I would have thought. However, I too have not been idle," Reed explained.

"What do ya got, Stretcho," Ben asked.

"Just sit tight everyone. At that moment the Fantastic Four and the two children vanished.

"Won't the Wizard be concerned when his captives are gone?" Sue Storm asked.

"Not for too long. I've left holograms of ourselves there so it seems like we're still captive. It won't take long for me to get control of the building back."

"That's pretty impressive, Richards."

"Wolverine! What are you doing here?!"

"Janet let us know what was going on. She's fairly swift even though she comes off as a blond bimbo from the 80's.

"Indeed." The Submariner came out of the darkness of the hidden room along with Spider-Man. "She could be from the 40's for all I care. She is a beautiful woman of valor, worthy of Imperius Rex!" As everyone stared at him, Namor folded his arms on his chest.

"That's my daughter your talking about, Namor," Reed Richards said sternly.

"Daughter?! How could that be?"

"It's bad enough you tried to take Sue from me but you're not getting my daughter!"

"It's a long story, Subby. We..."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Ben Grimm, an Adonis."

"You've gone from hideous to beautiful. I barely recognized your voice."

"Is that you Ben?" Spider-Man said bewildered. "You're prettier than Janet. What happened?"

"We don't have a lot of time to talk about all this. Janet is in some kind of maze. While I'm taking back control of the building the rest of you can go to where she is and help her out. We can deal with the Wizard's new conglomerate soon enough," Mr. Fantastic explained.

"So be it, Richards. I shall aid you but afterwards you must help me and my people."

"We'll do what we can, Namor. But right now we have to deal with the Wizard and his new machinations."

Meanwhile Janet was still walking through the seemingly endless corridor, whistling the tune of her song. As she traversed the area she saw images of soldiers marching through the walls and even "outside". But as the "soldiers got closer two of them poised their guns at her and fired. "Ouch!" Janet said as the powerful lasers bounced off, still hurting her a little.

"It's over songbird," the two Brothers Grimm said in unison as they assumed their real guise and continued to fire their unusually powerful firearms. "We know you're tough but you won't survive our barrage. You're finished!" But the blond bombshell moved in on the twins, attacking them both, making quick work of them, knocking them both out while resuming her song.

"Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground, where an old man of aran goes around and around, and his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night, for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right, but he'll never ever fight."

As she walked through the corridor the galaxy girl looked straight ahead, still singing her song. She tried pounding on the wall to her left but to no avail. Eventually she saw a window out of which she looked to see Dansen Macabre staring back at her. Immediately the white haired woman blasted Janet with a mental attack. Janet recovered and blasted her opponent with a flash attack followed by an energy blast which sent the dancing mentalist into the ground.

"Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground, where an old man of aran goes around and around, and his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night, for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right, but he'll never ever fight over you. No he'll never ever fight over you."

At the end of the song Janet came to the end of the corridor and looked up, using her X-ray vision. "Arcade! I see you up there operating the controls!" Janet flew up and came crashing through the wall where the short red headed man was in a control room with all sorts of electronics there.

"That was a great song, sweetie! I'm sure it would make a great music video. As much as I like the view of you in the uniform you're hardly wearing, I need to get out of here."With that the gamesmaster pressed a button and vanished into thin air before Janet could get to him.

"Shoot! He's nowhere to be seen! What's going on here?!"

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Be here for the chapter when the F.F. retake their building. Now I'd like to thank those who have left reviews for the last chapter.
