The Fall of Doomsday

"HULK SMASH!!" The Hulk says, as he grabs Doomsday by the neck and rams his face into the ground. He lifts Doomsday back up and slams him over and over into the pavement, using his favorite word to punctuate the impacts. "SMASH, SMASH, SMASH!!" Only a handful of superheroes would even think about stepping in the middle of this fight. And Benjamin Grimm is one of them.

The Thing lands a few meters away, just as Doomsday gives his power aura a flex and knocks the Hulk down the street.

"And they call me hard on the eyes!" The Thing says, ramming Doomsday from the side and staggering him. "Reed's gizmo'll put the kibosh on ya freak-face, but not 'til I take get my chops in!" Ben hits Doomsday with a right hook to the face, but it doesn't seem to do anything more than annoy the monster. Doomsday backhands (Well, it was more a slap, really)the Thing and sends him to the floor, digging a trench in the road as he collides into the sidewalk.

"Try to give me the bum's rush, will ya?" Ben says, getting back to his feet and rubbing his jaw. "Nobody but nobody gives the Ever Lovin' Blue Eyed Thing the brush and gets away with it! Now it's really gonna be Clobberin'-"

"STUPID ROCK-MAN WANT SOME TOO?!!" The Hulk comes barreling down the street a full speed, heading straight for the Thing.

"What the-" The Hulk runs straight into the Thing, knocking him over and pummeling on him like there's no tomorrow. "Get off me, ya green nutcase! I'm on your side! Your side!"

The Hulk doesn't seem to be listening, and goes right on serving Ben a slice of humble pie. Doomsday looks ready to jump in himself, but before he has the chance, the other three of the Fantastic Four step in.

"Not another step." Mr. Fantastic says, tangling Doomsday up in his body. The monster staggers back and forth, trying to pull Reed off, as the Human Torch swoops in and drills a few well placed fireballs into the monster's back.

"Ben, you okay over there?!" Johnny calls out.

The Thing manages to lift his head up enough to talk, as the Hulk grabs him around the waist and squeezes him in the 'Hug of Death'. "Oh, I'm just dandy, thanks for askin'!"

Doomsday's gets a good grip on part of Reed and starts to pull him off, but Reed wraps around the beast's arms and holds fast. "Nice try, but-GAAHHH!!!" Mr. Fantastic cries out, as Doomsday starts to chomp on his body like it's laffy taffy, sucking him down throat all the while.

"Get off him!" Mrs. Fantastic says, as Doomsday is knocked back by her invisible aura. Reed quickly pulls himself off, and Sue begins to lift Doomsday's body into the air, focusing all her power and hurling him into the sky with one convulsive push. "Now Johnny!" She says, as the monster reaches the clouds.

"He's all mine!" Johnny brings his hands in the air and begins to charge a massive fireball, the entire area sweltering from the heat. The light becomes so bright that it's blinding, and Johnny throws it into the sky, right into Doomsday chest. The clouds part as the heaven's fill with light from the explosions, Doomsday's aura reacting to the attack by covering the entire city in a blood red glow.

From the top of a building, I can see him as he falls from the eruption, his body covered in flames. I've been waiting for just this moment, charging up the Omega Effect. I just have to time it right, hit him when he falls close enough, and then I can call this a day. As his form comes closer, I take a breath and prepare, aiming the device straight for him. One shot, just one shot...

He sees me. Doomsday catches me out of the corner of his eye and shoots out three of his hand-spikes, a power I wasn't aware he had. My Spider-sense buzzes as they come at me even faster than bullets, and I manage to dodge them.

I flip over one.

Dodge another one in mid-air.

And bend over backwards Matrix-style to avoid the last one.

But my Spider-sense still buzzes, and at the last moment, I see why.

He shot four, not three.

The last spike shoots through my shoulder, nearly taking it off. As I crash on the rooftop, the Omega Effect slips out of my hands, falling to the street below. It's not too late, I can jump off and catch it, bad shoulder or not. I run to the edge, but before I make it, Doomsday lands in front of me, cutting me off. The monster stands a good five feet above my head, looking down on me like the angel of death. I can see Johnny and Sue racing up to help me, but they're going to take about ten seconds to get to me, and as the monster reels back to land a fatal punch I realize I don't have that much time...
