Chapter 8

New Earth. A shattering event has just ended leaving the streets of New-New York ruined from the catastrophic battle against Anung un Rama.

Luckily, Hellboy has returned to normal, after defeating seven of New Earth's strongest Heroes.

"Zapper…" Hellboy said in shock falling to his knee's at the sight of the damage he just caused.

"Damn it…I'm sorry…"

"It's okay…" Zapper assured him.

"No. I'm so sorry…that I had to lure you like that!" he grinned, upper cutting Zapper right in the jaw, sending him flying through a building.

"Now. I'll go. And none of you will follow me! He growled and walked off into the distance.

Later:

Iron Man's systems re-activated, becoming fully operational once again.

"Damn." he computed. "He's Gone."

Iron Man stood up and looked around at his surroundings. "Unbelievable." he said to himself, as he lifted Zapper out of the rubble of the building. "I've Got Some Calls To Make."

The Next Day: Texas.

Hellboy wandered down the empty street alone and confused. The place was completely deserted.

Up In The Sky: "Evacuation of the area is complete, Iron Man. He's all yours." A radio system reported.

"Thank-You." Iron Man replied. Repulsion Ray At 99.9%--100%: Fire.

CHOOM!

The repulsion ray hit Hellboy so hard in the back, he went flying face first into the tarmac road.

Next, mini-bombs came from a compartment in Iron Man's left arm, and blasted Hellboy in the back even more.

Hellboy looked up to see that his attacker was Iron Man.

"Hellboy. Lay on the ground, hands behind your head, ankles crossed." he said, as he stood above him, repulsion ray ready to go again. "Or I'm Going To Have To Kill You."

"Then you are going to have to kill me." I know the damage I caused in my true form was wrong, and I know I won't be left alone for causing it. But all I want to do now is find a way I can go home! To the year 2008 where I belong and your stupid armour doesn't exist yet!" Hellboy roared.

"Mr. Unknown brought you here, Hellboy. And seeing as you killed him…" he said as he lifted a car over his head. "…you've no way of getting home. That's right, Hellboy! Mr. Unknown is DEAD!!!"

The car started to give way as Iron Man tossed it at Hellboy, exploding on impact.

"And you killed 50 people you never met! Nine hundred and ninety one years later!"

Iron Man punched Hellboy in the gut, sending him straight into a concrete wall, followed by a mighty repulsion ray powered kick to the head. And then a final repulsion ray to his chest.

"DIE!" Hellboy yelled, as he got up and attacked Iron Man.

His attack missed, as he realised Iron Man actually wasn't in front of him.

Hellboy looked dumbfounded as he stood there confused.

"I'm not there anymore." Iron Man said from behind him. "I'm as fast, in fact faster, than you, and running this suit by thought." he said as he punched Hellboy hard in the back.

Even through all the blows Hellboy had received, he got back up and tried to fight some more.

As he ran for Iron Man, Iron Man's systems searched for the exact position of the underground electrical cables.

Burning the ground and ripping the cables out, Iron Man shoved them straight into Hellboy's chest as he ran at him.

This hit Hellboy so hard, it caused him to be blasted into the air and straight into an apartment building.

"Oh….god-d…"

Iron Man flew after Hellboy into the building. He lifted him up and punched him through each wall until he went straight out the other side and landed on a construction site.

"Hellboy. Don't bother getting up. You're under arrest for damaging public property, murdering dozens of innocent lives and assault against a registered government hero!"

Iron Man set down four electronic devices. Two on either side of Hellboy.

"A containment field. Just until we find a place strong enough to imprison you in!"

Hellboy: 2999 8. "The Truth!"
