Warning, Charactor death in this chapter.
Chapter 21
"He'll have no choice." Reed then seriously told the group.
+With General Hager and Mr. Sherman, the locked room+
"Thank you, General, but I'm afraid, the truth is, that sometimes Reed is right." Victor then told the general as he looked at the general before he hit the general and Mr. Sherman with a burst of lighting causing the general and Mr. Sherman to fly through the air and hit some nearby crates causing a gaurd who was standing on a platform above them to look down just as Victor electricuted him as well. Victor then smiled as he opened his briefcase and looked at his silver mask.
+The room, same time+
"Hey, you, come here." Ben told a gaurd as soon as he opened the door causing the gaurd to turn around and look at him.
"Let me ask you something." Ben then smiled innoucently at the gaurd.
+With Dr. Doom, the locked room+
As silence filled the air, Dr. Doom picked up his mask and then slowly put it on after he had changed into his armor. The evil villain then pressed a button on his gauntlet causing the board to fly out of the chamber and over to the evil man allowing Dr. Doom to climb onto it causing the board to turn pitch black as Dr. Doom absorbed it's powers just as General Hager sat up and then began to fire his gun at the evil villain causing Dr. Doom to look at him as the bullets bounced off his armor and then blast the general with a burst of cosmic energy causing the general to be destoryed.
"Nice." Dr. Doom then told himself in awe as he looked at his hands and then blasted the entire room with a burst of cosmic energy causing a loud explosion to rock the building.
+With the heroes and heroines+
After knocking out the gaurd, the group quickly ran as fast as they could out of the room and down one of the hallways just as what remained of the door to the secret room roll down the hallway causing the group except for Ben to scatter.
"Aw, nuts." Ben then groaned before the rock knocked him and Reed who was behind him, away from the group as the others fell onto the ground and then stood up just as an alarm filled the air as the group looked at the large slab that pinned Ben and Reed to a nearby wall.
"Ben!" Johnny then yelled at the slab as Namor looked worringly at the slab before he fell over revealing Ben who looked like he had been molded into the wall.
"Okay, that one hurt." Ben then groaned.
"Where's Reed?" Namor then worringly asked the group as he looked around worringly for his fiancee.
"Back here." Reed's muffled voice then told the group from behind Ben causing the rock like man to free himself and then move out of the way revealing a squished and flat Reed causing Tweety and the other kids to giggle as Ben looked at Reed as he freed himself and returned to his normal form.
"My bad." Ben then told Reed before he and the others ran into the formally locked room and then looked around until Susan spotted the destroyed chamber.
"Reed." Susan then worringly told Reed causing the raven haired man to look at the chamber and then notice the remains of General Hager and Mr. Sherman.
"Victor." Reed then quietly growled as Bluejay, Songbird and the heroines minus Susan made sure the kids didn't see the body as Susan put her hands on her hips.
"We've got to get it back." Reed then determainly told the group.
"We need to get the Silver Surfer. He's the only one that understands its power." Susan then told the group as the kids looked at her.
"After we break him out of this place, how are we gonna catch up to Victor?" Ben then asked the group as he wondered how he and the others were going to catch up to Victor.
"Leave that to me." Reed then determainly told the group before he took out his P.D.A. and then pressed some buttons on it before he put away his P.D.A. and then followed Susan out of the room.
+outside, The Silver Surfer's prison+
As soon as a strange sound filled the air, the Silver Surfer looked up and saw Ben and the fantastic six standing in front of a large hole in the wall that Ben had created just as the gaurds ran towards the group.
"Halt! Don't move!" one of the gaurds yelled at the group.
"Stay where you are!" the other gaurd then yelled at the group before Kid Flash ran towards them and then ran around them causing the two gaurds to try and catch him before they were wraped up in webbing as Ben crashed through the glass doors and then walked into the room that the Silver Surfer was trapped in.
+With the Silver Surfer+
"Pal, this is the luckiest day of your life." Ben then told the Silver Surfer as the others ran or flew over to the enterece that Ben had made as the Silver Surfer looked curiously at Ben as Superman freed the silver alien and then picked him up.
+Hallway, outside of the room, a few minutes later+
"What in the world is going on?" ROTC Captain Rayes angerly asked the heroes and heroes as she pointed her gun at them as soon as they ran into the hallway.
"Leave us alone." Tweety angerly told the older preteen as she glared at the captain.
"Back off brat and where is General Hager?" ROTC Captain Rayes angerly told Tweety and then angerly asked the group as she continued to glare at him.
"Don't talk to my daughter that way and he's dead." Songbird then angerly told ROTC Captain Rayes.
"If we don't get him out of here, we're all going to be too." Superman then told ROTC Captain Rayes as Johnny looked sadly at the other preteen.
"Frankie, listen to us." Johnny then told ROTC Captain Rayes causing the preteen to point her gun at him.
"The world is literally at stake here. You have to trust us. Please." Johnny then worringly told ROTC Captain Rayes as Spiderman glared at her as she kept her gun aimed at the group causing Spiderman to wrap the girl and her gun up in webbing before he and the others ran past her.
"We need to get outside. It should be here by now." Reed then told the group as he led them away from the wrapped up girl and towards the main doors of the building.
"What should be here?" Ben then curiously asked Reed as he led the group out of the building.
+In front of the military base+
"By the gods and goddesses." Wonder Woman gasped in shock as a strange metal ship flew through the air and landed in front of the group.
"Reed." Johnny then gasped in shock as Namor smiled at a smiling Reed as he and the others ran over to it.
"This is by far the coolest thing you have ever done!" Johnny then told Ben as Songbird looked curiously at the hover car that had one seat up front, five seats in the middle and one seat in the back as Johnny's excited laughter filled the air as he took a closer look at the machine.
"Hemi?" Johnny then asked Reed.
