Mig-El Gand's life has been annoyingly complicated since he was sent into the Phantom-Negative Zone to save his life. While it has undoubtedly been great and he has made lifelong friends, it doesn't change that he sometimes missed his normal life when he was just an orphan growing up in New York and not a super hero in the year 2107. Well, as normal as life can get with a name like his.

Being a member of the Legion of Galactic Guardians has its ups and downs. Positives are the friends he has made and the incredible adventures he has had. Negatives are how everything is completely insane. He's battled demons, used Thorion's hammer to win a war in a p pocket dimension, been trapped in the past, and even had a really complicated adventure where he saved Dr Strangefate from being killed by L'ok D'saad to get the Infinity Links by erasing that alternate timeline. That one he was honestly regretting a little, even if it was to save the universe from Thanoseid, seeing as Strangefate himself was the one threatening the universe now.

The seventeen year old fired a web line from his finger onto a building above and pulled to throw himself up into the air, past the falling building. Evacuating Nueva Gotham had been difficult and he knew the authorities were still trying to get people to safety, which is why he knew the Legion needed to stop Strangefate quickly. As he flew up into the air he acted his anti-grav ring and he began to fly towards where the action was in the sky.

Mig-El wasn't sure what finally caused Strangefate to decide to open a portal to a demon dimension to try and rule the Earth, but he honestly didn't care. The sorcerer had always been someone people couldn't fully trust, as he only cared about keeping the world safe. Problem is that he has now decided the best way to keep it safe was s to rule it himself.

"So, does anyone have an actual plan?" Psi-Girl asked, her question appearing in everyone's mind thanks to Phoenetix connecting their minds.

"I assume it's the same as always." Spider-Boy told her with his mind, as his friends Universe Boy and Darkstar appeared flying beside him. "Punch the bad guy around a little, save the world, go out and celebrate with a big meal."

"I like that plan." chuckled Xcel while Karate Fist flew next to her.

"Perhaps we can see a movie as well?" the martial artist suggested.

"Can everyone please focus?" Vance Cosmic asked them with some measure of annoyance. "Kind of a real bad situation here. We literally could all die trying to stop this."

"You've gotten really grumpy recently Vance. Sure you're not going back to your villain days?" Phantom Cat teased which Mig-El knew would annoy Vance. He hated to be reminded that he wasn't always the hero he was now.

Sadly Spider-Boy couldn't disagree with Vance, because no matter how many jokes he makes it doesn't change the facts. Right now Earth's most powerful sorcerer was opening a tear in reality which was affecting gravity like crazy and while Martinex 5 and some of Legionnaires were building a weapon which could temporarily remove his ability to use magic, Mig-El and the heroes with him had to keep Strangefate busy. While the Legion has achieved the impossible in the past, he felt that this was pushing it.

"Strangefate!" Vance shouted after gesturing at everyone to stop, and the eight heroes hovered in the air watching the magic user.

"What do you want children?" Strangefate responded, and somehow despite the distance it sounded like he was talking right into Mig-El's ear. He cape blew from the wind caused by the glowing red portal he was creating, lights of magic dancing around his arms.

"You need to stop this. It's not too late to make the right choice." Vance told Strangefate, who was silent for a moment.

"I am making the right choice child. By doing this I can save the entire world from itself, end war and hatred. Create a perfect utopia by removing the source of the disease and not simply giving medicine whenever it appears." Strangefate told them and while his arms had stopped waving about he hadn't turned to look at them. "Can't any of you understand why that's necessary?"

"No Dr Strangefate, we can't." Karate Kid answered.

"Very well." Strangefate said simply, before spinning around to face them. With one palm stretched out, symbols and letters began to form before he clenched his fist.

Pain shot through Mig-El's body and it took all his focus to keep himself afloat, and he heard some of his teammates scream in pain. He knew Psi-Girl was taking the most of the damage from this psychic attack, which meant he had to act quickly. Not bothering to care how easily this could backfire, he focused on his trajectory and focused. His ring sent him flying forward and he collided with Strangefate, who must have been too distracted by everything to prevent it. Mig-El felt the pain fade and he quickly began hitting the sorcerer who simply grabbed Mig-El with telekinetic magic and threw him away.

Mig-El tumbled through the air before slowing himself down and when he looked back at the portal he saw that his friends had taken advantage of the opportunity. They were all attacking Strangefate, doing their best to keep him distracted and it visibly showed as the crimson cut in the sky stopped growing. However looking at it Mig-El could see what looked like claws trying to break through and he prayed that Martinex was on his way.

He flew forward and shot webs from his fingers, trying to wrap Strangefate up in a cocoon. He friends each grabbed hold of the sorcerer, and he could see Psi-Girl's eyes glow as she tried to attack his mind. For a second Mig-El actually thought they could do this, until Strangefate's eyes glowed. There was a bright light and the next thing Mig-El knew he couldn't love while a red glow covered his body.

"Did you honestly think you could beat me with a few punches and a telepathic attack?" Strangefate asked them as his hands glowed with red energy, one pointed sat the tear which grew larger and the other aimed at the heroes. "I am the most powerful sorcerer and metamutant in the universe. I have battled gods and galactic conquerors, what made you think this plan would work?"

"Honestly? We didn't think that plan would work." Mig-El answered when he saw something vital from the corner of his eye, hoping to keep Strangefate focused on him.

"Really? Then why did you do it anyway?" Strangefate asked as he approached Might-So, gazing at him through the holes in his helmet.

"To distract you." a voice suddenly said from behind them, and as Strangefate moved to see who it was it happened. A bright green-blue light about width of Mig-El's arm hit the metamutant in the chest and a second later the red glow on his hands vanished as did the flow surrounding the heroes. Spider-Boy turned around to see Martinex and the other members of the Legion who had been with him or dealing with the public watching as Martinex fired his minigun shaped weapon at Strangefate.

"No!" Strangefate roared with fury as his hands gained a golden globe and shapes appeared. "You can't stop me! I will save the world!"

"Stop! You're changing the energy output!" Martinez yelled as sparks appeared around the weapon, before the energy beam expanded to envelop Strangefate. The heroes had to fly back a bit and convert their eyes, but when the light faded they looked to see what had happened. And instantly regretted it.

They heard Strangefate scream as crimson red claws pulled at his body, having been pushed straight into the tear. They saw the claws tear off pieces of clothing and scratch at his body, no longer protected by his magical abilities, while the hole in reality slowly shrank. The last thing they saw and heard before the portal snapped shut and vanished without a trace, was Strangefate screaming in pain as the claws dug into his chest and pulled out pieces of his stomach.

"Oh my God." Psi-Girl finally said, her voice weak and frightened. "What have we done."

"It was just meant to disable his magic." Martinex told everyone, almost monotonous in its lack of emotion caused by the shock. "But he...his magic changed the power levels and..."

"It wasn't your fault Martinex." Mig-El reassured his friend, while Xcel put a comforting hand on his shoulder while Mass nodded in agreement.

"Spider-Boy's right. It wants anybody's fault." Vance agreed as he observed where the portal had been. "We tried to do the right thing and bring him in alive so he can be judged for his crimes. He caused the accident that killed him."

"Do you think he's really dead?" Shadow Cat asked Vance, who only looked on. Everyone knew what that meant, and they all hovered there for a moment as they considered everything Strangefate has survived in the past, before one by one flying down to the city to continue their duty to helping people.

Tell me if there are any spelling mistakes or sentences that don't make sense. Like I said before Universe-97 is where all the Amalgam Comics except Dark Claw Adventures and Lobo the Duck took place, as opposed to Universe-96 where Spider-Boy died in 1997 as the events of Spider-Boy Team-Up never took place. This makes it the same universe as Earth-12772, which is where Spider-Boy lived so he could create the spider DNA serum which turns Might-El Gand into Spider-Boy 2099. Because there was no Chronal Collapse like in Universe-96 Dr Strangefate never became Earth's main protector which forced him to lose his less admirable qualities, so he became a full on villain in this universe. The mention of Vance Cosmic being a villain once is a reference to the Vance Cosmic of the Sinister Society, implying that at some point Vance reformed and became the one who is a member of the Legion of Galactic Guardians.
