-CHAPTER NINE - INJURED-

-PATH TO SNUFFLE'S TEMPLE-

The remaining Illuminati walk Miguel down the path, away from Snuffles' temple, hoping to find people

In the distance, they see the ruins of the Benetar

"Hey!" Strange yells

George looks over, noticing them

"We need help!" Reed yells

George rushes over to lend his help

"What happened?" George asks

"Beaten up." Miguel explains

"By who?" George asks

"He called himself Doctor Doom." Miguel explains

They arrive back at the Benetar, Strange helps Miguel sit against the Benetar

"You alright?" George asks

"He beat me up good, in such a short amount of time too." Miguel explains

George overhears the others returning

"I'll be back in a second." George explains

George turns around the corner as the others arrive

"We need help." George explains

"We?" Adam asks

George takes the others to meet the Illuminati

"Miguel?" Kyle asks

"Hi, Kyle." Miguel says

"What happened?" Kyle asks

"We got beaten up.. we lost Michael." Miguel explains

"By who?" Kyle asks

"He calls himself Doctor Doom, he's got some armor and a glowing white cloak." Miguel explains

Jack approaches Miguel

"Are you alright?" Jack asks

"Yeah, just the worst beating I've ever gotten." Miguel explains

"Think a couple ribs are broken.." Miguel says

Miguel removes his mask, revealing his bloodied face

"I just.. need a minute." Miguel says

"All of you go beat that guy, I'll watch over him." Strange explains

"I'll stay behind and fix the Benetar." George explains

"Alright, George, see you soon." Adam says

"Good luck, everyone." Strange says

"Guys, before you go.." George says

"Please be careful." George says

"We'll be fine, George." Erin says

"I am Pat." Pat says

George smiles

"See you soon." George says

The group finally leaves to confront Snuffles
