I'm so sorry everyone, I'm super late at updating...again TT^TT. I'm a failure at updating! *curls up on the ground and starts banging floor* Dang it! Depressed!
Reed: Um...is she okay?
Susan: No, I don't think so.
Ben: Who's gonna do the disclaimer now?
*They look at each other and give off a sigh*
Johnny: Guess we have to do it.
Reed: Fine, I'll start off. This fic contains gorey moments and some disturbing scenes. If you don't like either of those, I highly suggest you press the back button.
Susan: However, If you enjoy gore or can tollerate it, then by all means, read, review, and enjoy!
Johnny: Also, fantasticpanda101 does not own Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes.
Ben: Nor does she own the song "Night Surgeon", which is what the fic is based on.
All: Enjoy!
"Wh-what?" Reed asked with his voice full of shock.
"I agree, would you mind repeating that?" Victor inquired.
"I said if you let Johnny keep his heart and live, I'll let you have my heart. Deal?" At this, the overlord gave a slightly sinister smirk.
"Alright, I accept your deal. We'll be here in a few minutes to get you." was Victor's reply. Reed could hardly believe what he was hearing. Susan, his love, was about to sacrifice herself. He could hear his insanity chuckling at his misery before feeling his mind being forced back. His other half was taking over. The professor tried to fight back, but was too tired from the tangle with Victor's guards. He felt his mind becoming numb, only being able to see and hear the actions around him.
"Let me do it!" His insanity practically screamed.
"Sorry, but I can't risk Reed getting out of control." The overlord deadpanned. Reed's other half gave a thoughtful expression. This lasted for several moments then he gave a malicious grin.
"If I got rid of the weakling, then could I do it?"
"Well, if Reed was out of the picture, then I guess there'd be no problem." Reed's insanity gave a loud holler of excitement before giving back control to the professor, who was frozen in shock. "We'll be back momentarily." Victor stated again before leaving with his guards, leaving the two alone, as Johnny was still out cold. They remained silent for several minutes until Reed finally broke it.
"What were you thinking?" he exclaimed, his voice a combination of anger and shock.
"Me? What about you? You're the one whose gonna do the procedure."
"It's not me, it's him! You know that!"
"Yeah, I know that now! Why didn't you tell me? I could've helped!"
"No one can help me. That thing's a monster…I'm a monster." The professor whispered that last part. Susan's expression soften and she fell silent, she couldn't think of anything else to say.
/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/
True to his word, Victor reappeared with his guards a short time later. They took Susan out of her cell and tied her hands and waist together.
"While I don't foresee you escaping, better save than sorry." The overlord told her. The blonde just scowled and followed them before pausing for a moment.
"Goodbye Reed." She whispered loud enough for everyone to hear. The brown and white haired man looked at her with surprise, before lowering his head.
"Goodbye…My Dearest Susan." He mumbled. The professor could've sworn that he saw her body tense up at that, but wasn't sure.
"We'll be back for you when we have her prepped up." Victor told him, completely unfazed by the scene that had just occurred. They left, leaving Reed alone again, or so he thought.
"Huh…where am I?" Were the groggy words that filled the professor's ears. He looked to see Johnny rising off the cold pavement, looking dazed and confused. He lifted his head to see Reed, and started looking panicked and terrified. "You're…you're that man you tried to take my heart." The teen shouted while crawling backwards.
"Johnny…I'm sorry." Was the only thing the brown and white haired man could say. He saw that Johnny was squinting his eyes, as if trying to get a better look; he looked surprised when he was done.
"Professor Reed?" Reed stared at him blankly for his answer.
"But…how cou-?" He was unable to ask his question as he started grabbing at the left shirt on his chest, right above his heart. His face was twisted in an expression of pain and agony. The professor stared at the teen, not quite knowing what was going on, when he heard it.
Thwump
Thwump
Thwu-thwu
The same sound he, while his insanity was in control, had heard earlier that evening, only louder. He tried to figure what the two moments meant, all while the haunting sound invaded his eardrums.
Thwump
Thwump
Thwu-thwu
"I feel like I've heard that sound before." Reed thought to himself. Just then, it hit him like a ton of bricks.
The sound was Johnny's heart.
It was going unstable.
"Johnny! What's wrong?" The professor asked, even though he knew the answer.
"My chest is hurting. I think it's my heart." Johnny replied between gasps for air. "I need my medicine."
"Well, where is it?"
"It's in my backpack." Reed cringed; knowing that Victor had his goons confiscated everything in their possession. However, he knew where the confiscated items went.
"I just need to get-"
"Oh no you don't Reedy. We have some business to finish." Right then, the professor could feel himself being dragged into the recess of his mind, unable to resist.
/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/
Reed opened his eyes groggily, unaware of what had just happened. He rose up from the blackish ground, which felt an awful lot like marble. The professor studied his surroundings, noticing that the area was black and was what seemed to be swirling.
"Hello Reedy! Welcome to your death!" Shouted a voice similar to the brown and white haired man's own, only slurred and twisted. He turned to source of the voice, and saw something very appalling.
Standing a few feet away from him was Reed himself. Same body, same hair, he even had the same Repo suit on. There were, however, several differences. Like the fact that the doppelganger's skin and hair was snow white, giving sharp contract to his dark, blood red eyes that clearly showed he had no soul. The mirror image also had teeth that could make a shark envious, which he was showing off in a grin that could haunt even the bravest of souls.
"You're…you're the voice."
"Ding ding ding! Bingo genius!"
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Did you not here my little deal with the boss? I kill you then I get to kill you're little girlfriend. Man, for a teacher, you're not that bright." The insanity answered, grabbing the knife at his side. Reed saw the action and felt his own side. Nothing.
"Crap!"
"Did you really think I'd play fair with this? Wow, you really are an idiot!" With that, the insanity lunged at the professor, who dodged it at the last second and attempted to side sweep his other half. The white haired maniac jumped and kicked Reed in the cheek. The professor rolled on the black ground and lay there, motionless. With a smirk, the insanity trailed over to his opponent, knife raised to deliver the final blow.
"Too easy." Was all that he said before he lowered the knife. The professor opened his eyes and kicked his opponent's hands at an angle, knocking the knife to the ground. Reed quickly grabbed the knife while his other half was recovering from the blow.
"You're not gonna win that easily." The brown and white haired man shouted, twirling the knife in his hand with relative ease.
"This ain't over, not by a long shot!" The maniac exclaimed while grabbing the other knife in his possession. The two charged at each other, one determined to vanquish the other. There weapons clashed with a clang, the sound echoing through the infinite abyss. The two forces pressed against each other, attempting not to get cut by the sharp blades.
"Give up, pansy." The insanity taunted.
"Never."
"Face it Reedy, I'm the strong one. All you are is a weak little Mama's boy." That did it for Reed; he gave his other half's knife a quick succession of hits, releasing them from the struggle. He charged again, giving the maniac a barrage of hits, not only with his blade, but also with his fists and feet. The insanity fought back with the same amount of force, and this continued for a while, until both fighters jumped back and paused for a moment, panting heavily.
"This ends now!" Reed exclaimed, charging once more.
"You bet it does!" Reed's other half replied, charging as well. A slicing sound could be heard throughout the darkness.
/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/
Two guards wearing black and green uniforms walked down the halls, getting ready to retrieve their Repo Man. Each guard had a gun and taser in their possession. They knew how dangerous their target was, and didn't want to chance anything.
Once they arrived at the cell, one of the guards started typing in the code to unlock the chamber. The other stared at the man before him. His head was down, hiding his face and eyes.
"Ya ready? The boss wantsya now." The guard told the captive, who raised his head, showing a twisted look in his eyes.
"Let's go." Was the slurred reply they got.
fantasticpanda101: Phew, glad I got that out of my system.
Susan: Feel better?
fantasticpanda101: Yep! By the way, I apologize if the fight wasn't all that good, action scenes aren't my best thing.
Johnny (mumbling): Ya got that right.
fantasticpanda101: What was that?
Johnny: Nothing.
fantasticpanda101: Get over here Johnny!
Johnny: *screams and runs in terror*
fantasticpanda101: Get back here so I can clobber you.
Ben: Hey! That's my line!
Reed: Great, now who's gonna do the goodbyes. *stares at Susan*
Susan: *fake coughs* Love to, but I think I'm getting a cold.
Reed: *sighs* Fine. Well, we hoped you enjoyed another chapter! Please Read and Review! See ya!
Johnny: *still screaming*
