Doom was still stunned as I carefully approached him. As he regained his senses, he began to lament.
"So... You are the little pipsqueak who ruined my plans. The plans to send you and your exasperating friends off to join the choir invisible..."
I interrupted.
"Good thing I devastated your agenda. My friends and I definitely do not have any noteworthy talents. If YOU will forgive MY jest!"
Right as I said that, I squirted a drop of the same stun gas the chemical bomb contained from a vial on the floor a few inches away from Doom's armor covered hide. Doom let his cloak double as a gas mask as he said.
"Blast you! And, how dare you ridicule me! You should prepare for the same fate your beloved guardian is suffering!"
"I am prepared. But are you?" I retorted as I got out my slingshot already armed with a ball bearing that split second.
With that weapon in hand, I manipulated myself into a ball, and bounced right over Doom's head at the moment he pressed the button to activate the poison emitting vent. When Doom was still turned around, I aimed the slingshot at one of his gauntlets, and fired with all my might. The ball bearing struck the middle of Doom's left gauntlet with a sharp "CLANG!" and blue-white sparks flew out as Doom grimaced in pain and anger. As I got out another ball bearing, I folded my head back to see how Father was doing. He was extremely weak, but still conscious. Also, he was trying to tell me something. I barely made out what he was saying.
"Mary... Aim... for.. the right gauntlet. There.. is... a ring.. that.. controls his mask.. on it. I trust.. you'll know... what to do... from there."
I nodded my head in response, and got back to tending with Doom. There was this burning look in Doom's eyes as he denounced my stepfather and I.
"Ever since that day I met your guardian in State University, I always knew we were destined as mortal enemies. Never did I think he would have an urchin to assist him in his dilapidation of me."
As I let out another drop of stun gas from the vial I got out from the gear belt once again, I replied.
"Correction, you have plans to dilapidate us. Father nor I have never intended to completely ruin your life."
"Doom never needs correcting! Bah!"
With that "Bah!" said, he fired a laser from his only functioning gauntlet. Shortening myself, I avoided the laser. Just as I did that, I threw the stun gas vial towards the floor in front of Doom. The gas rose to choke Doom of all his breath and concentration of wanting me dead, giving me a chance to aim my slingshot at his right gauntlet. I pulled back the rubber band with to the exact length I pulled it back to when I destroyed Doom's left gauntlet, and let go. The ball bearing soared towards Doom's right gauntlet, and impacted upon the very ring on his middle finger Father mentioned to me with loud "CLING!" Golden sparks discharged from where part of a ring had been. Doom looked like he was ready to blow fire out of his mouth.
"YOU... should NOT have done THAT." He said miserably.
It was time to go in for the kill.
"You know Doom, I know what would cheer you up, a makeover! And to start it off, let's take off that rather drab mask!" I said sarcastically.
"You WOULD NOT DARE!" cracked Doom.
"Indeed I would." Retorted I. With that said, I walked to the back of Doom, and grabbed hold of his mask, trying to pull it off. Doom put up a good fight, trying to get me off his back.
"I hope you are enjoying our little game of "Monkey On the Back" like I am." I jested.
"Only a brat like you would have the audacity to..."
And it was then, the mask easily slipped off into my hands. Doom reflection stared back at himself in a mirror on the nearby wall. I leaped off Doom in time just as he screamed.
"NOOOOO!!!! HOW COULD YOU?!?!"
I walked up to him, and replied in as calm a tone as I could muster at that moment.
"Doom, the moral of this is that even kittens have claws. In other words, just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm not as resourceful and clever like my stepfather."
Doom began to lie down on his knees crying and screaming about how horrible his face looked along with his life being ruined. I looked back at Father, who stared back at me with a feeble smile on his face. He already was recovering from the poison gas.
"I could have not handled Doom any better my child." Father softly said.
I turned my head back towards Doom, and said in an appropriate, bratty tone.
"By the way, I am Miss Fantastic, and he is Mister Fantastic. You, are not."
Right after I said that, the thunder of robots approaching Doom's quarters was getting louder. I quickly went back to Father, and helped get him back on his feet, so we could escape to where the others were waiting outside of the castle.
"So... You are the little pipsqueak who ruined my plans. The plans to send you and your exasperating friends off to join the choir invisible..."
