Chapter 4
A Chance Meeting
In a dark room, a poweful man watched the events of battle take place. It was his will that Magneto fight the X-men, and his unseen ploting that brought the battle to a head. And he had finally done it. He had put everything in order. The X-men will finally die, he thought to himself. He smiled as he watched the battle, the smile of pride. The X-men were already dieing at magneto's hands. Everything was perfect.
Suddenly everything went wrong. From nowhere, a blast of great power took magneto's life. Standing, a frown replacing the smile from eariler, he watched in silence as the confusion replaced battle. All his planning and plotting was instantly ruined. He turned his gaze to the disturbance, and studied the young mortal. He needed to know more about him before he could begin planning again. At the nexus of time, Apocolypse sat, watching.

Riccolono was blown away at the beautiful scenery that lay before him. On his planet, there was nothing but huts and trees. This was truly amasing! There were stone building that seemed to reach for the sky. Everywhere, there were people, scurring about. He had been told stories about cities before, but he never amagined anything like this.
He sat there, in mid air, with his mouth slightly open, looking at the city called Manhattan. So lost at the sight of his first city, he never noticed the red and blue costumed man swinging up behind him and sticking to the closest surface nearby.
"Oh man, It had to be a green guy..." said the swinging man.
Riccolono looked over, having to tear himself away from the view, "Excuse me?"
"Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Electro, The Lizard, The Vulture... All green, all evil."
"What are you talking about?"
"Are you evil?"
"No..."
"Well, scine you didn't set of my spidey-sence, I suppose your telling the truth."
"Your what?!?"
"Nevermind..."
They both just looked at eachother for a moment. Finally Riccolono broke the silence again, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? I'm Spiderman!"
Riccolono glances at him for another moment, studing him. He had a weak power level, but it wasn't evil. This "Spiderman" was no threat. He started to wonder about the uniform, but his thoughts were interupted. "What?"
"I said, who are you and where are you from?"
Riccolono had to shake his thoughts away before he could respond. "My name is Riccolono. I'm from the planet namek. I'm here to help."
"Namek... right..." He then make a "co-co" noise, rolling a finger around near his temple.
"Are you alright?" the namekian asked the obviosly insane man in red.
"I was going to ask you the same thing. What do you mean by help?"
"I'm going to defend this planet from distruction."
Spiderman chuckles, "Well, this place is closely watched. The Avengers and Fantastic Four are usually on call 24-7. Hey! you should speak to Mr. Fantastic! I'm sure he'd know how to help you."
Riccolono pondered this for a moment, the agreed that it would be a good idea to learn the customs of this world. "Take me to this man."
Spiderman nodded and yelled "Follow me" as he jumped from he building and began swinging toward the freedom plaza, home of the FF. Riccolono followed behind, floating with arms crossed.
