Chapter 5:

Johnny gasped for air. He could feel everything getting dark. His family looked on in horror. His mother couldn't take it anymore. Doom was so focused on destroying Johnny that he didn't notice her. She grabbed Charlie's baseball bat and started beating him.

"Let him go." She yelled.

"Cut it out, you insane woman."

"Let my child go." Johnny mustered up enough strength to speak.

"Mom. Don't. He's powerful."

"Shut up, you." Doom flung him to the ground. He turned to face the angry woman. "As for you. I'll deal with you later." And with that he disappeared. Mary ran over to Johnny and helped him up.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." Johnny said staring at the spot Doom had just been in. He rubbed his neck which was now red where Doom's hands had been around it.

"Your sure?"

"Yea." They went back inside. Mary gave him an ice pack. They all looked at him.

"You shouldn't have done that." Johnny said.

"Why not?"

"He's very powerful."

"Who was that?"

"Someone whose out for revenge."

"But I don't understand. Why does he want to kill you?"

"Because we took away everything he wanted especially Sue. He turned into a angry, metal menace. We defeated him and we thought he was gone for good."

"I guess you were wrong." Jack said.

"Yea."

"I don't like the fact that…that menace wants to kill you."

"There's nothing we can do mom."

"Of course there is." He looked up at her with wide, blue eyes. "We're going to stop that insane, monster before he hurts you."

"I can't let you do that. Its too dangerous."

"Sweetie, its time that you learned. A mother will do anything to protect her child. And I mean anything, no matter if the child is 6 or 26."
