So here I am with this story again. Wild huh? The next three chapters I've actually had done for quite a while. This is where the laziness comes in, but hey ya know what? Its sorta my duty to try and entertain all you folks. I mean if you take the time to read my stuff, I should take the time to try and give you something to read. Anyways, i hope you like the next few chapters. Just try to not get confused as to the Thor's. We have the Ultimate version and the version from Hercules.
"So tell me Cap," Nick Fury said as Captain America ran into the Triskellion's war room, "How's our resident thunder god doing?"
"I'm not sure to be honest." Cap replied, "I was honestly doing a little more running for my life."
"You're inspiring me to incredible levels of confidence, Captain." Fury said.
"All part of the job Nick. By the way, if Thor can't subdue that thing we're releasing the Hulk." Captain America explained.
"Did I mention the confidence thing?" Fury asked.
The mighty hammer Mjolnir rose and fell again and again, sparks flying off at the collision of uru and adamantium. Thor swung, again and again. CLANG. CLANG. CLANG. Thunder roared as Thor's grim face fell upon the form of Ultron as he swung his hammer again and again. His arms burned, and his hands hurt from the strikes, but still the thunder god went on. The hammer glowed blue as electricity danced off it. Thor roared and sent his hammer crashing down towards Ultron one last time.
The impact shattered windows. It shook the island. It turned concrete to dust.
And the impact was produced by Thor's hammer being stopped by Ultron's hand.
"You're…strong…" Ultron growled, "I give you that…"
Thor pushed down.
"Glad to know." Thor grunted, sweat pouring from his brow.
"But…you are….no….VIKING!" Ultron roared, shoving Thor's hammer up and sending a crushing blow up into Thor's sternum.
Crimson came from Thor's mouth.
Ultron sent both his hands down over Thor's head, smashing him into the pavement. Thor cried out in pain as he tried to rise, blood discoloring his golden locks of hair. A kick from Ultron into Thor's face sent him flying back. This pleased Ultron.
"On another world, in another time, when I was another being…I knew of the Vikings. I knew of their ways; their culture. I knew it because I am extremely long-lived. I knew of their warrior god they named Thor. I knew of his rage, his power. I knew this all of Thor." Ultron said, bending down and lifting up Mjolnir, "And you…are…no….THOR!"
Thor's own hammer smashed into his face, sending him smashing through the main buildings of the compound and out into the Hudson River. Ultron chuckled and looked at the weapon his hand.
"In rebuilding this world it's a good thing I have a hammer." Ultron said, turning and looking towards Manhattan, "Now let's see if I can take care of the other annoyances."
Reed Richards' fingers stretched and contorted outwards, typing the keys as quickly as he could. Inwardly, he increased the size of his brain in order to better predict how the hacker breaking into his systems. Beads of sweat rolled down his face as he kept typing and putting up firewall after firewall.
"Whoa." Xander said, "That guy IS fantastic."
The Thing bellowed as his slammed his rock-like fists into the head of the Sentinel and ripped it apart with a grunt. His reward was spiraling down towards the street below with the huge machine. He wasn't worried for his own safety, little fall like that is like falling onto a bed of pillows for him. But the people below…
The Sentinel exploded in flame as it hit something that wasn't there. The Thing stood in the midst of the fire and noticed he and the machine were a good twenty feet from the ground.
"Didn't think I'd be going to a barbeque." The Thing muttered, before looking up, "Guess this is Susie's doin'."
More laser blasts rained down on him, ripping his jumpsuit more, exposing his entire upper body.
"Oh, that's how it's gonna be huh?" The Thing grunted as he looked up at the Sentinels.
He immediately gripped the arm of the broken Sentinel beside him and hefted it, before throwing it into the air like a javelin. He did all this despite said arm being about fifteen feet long. He speared a Sentinel causing it fall back onto the roof of a building with an earth shattering sound.
"Heavy metal?" the Thing muttered, "Hanson's heavier than these jerks."
Many stories above him, Susan Storm, the Invisible Woman struggled to keep the Thing and the broken Sentinel from slamming into the street with her invisible force field. It was a strain but she was managing it. She just recited her multiplication tables in her head as a sort of mantra to keep her focused on the weight. She groaned as she gradually lowered the huge machine to the ground.
"Sue! Look out!" her brother Johnny shouted from behind her.
A laser blast was heading straight at her from another Sentinel.
"I've got it." Sue said, recoiling her force field from below and wrapping it around her. The blast harmlessly splashed off.
"Well then…" Johnny whistled in appreciation.
"I had to let Ben and that thing drop about ten feet to save us." Sue said through gritted teeth, "Feel free to help anytime."
"I'm on it. Bring your field down and get to the side." Johnny said, his blue eyes becoming red. A moment later his body burst into flame and he dove into the air, riding on it.
"FLAME ON!" he shouted as he flew out of the building above the robot.
Jets of intense heat plumed outwards at the machine and started melting its face. The Sentinel looked up.
"zzzzHalt!zzz" it sputtered as it fired on him.
Johnny avoided the blasts with ease and rose into the sky.
"How 'bout no?" The Human Torch asked as he dove down again, burning the front of the Sentinel, leaving a scar of slagged metal.
It kept firing on him.
"Holy crap! You're not done yet?!" Johnny asked as he chucked fireballs at the hands of the machine, hoping it stopped the rain of energy bolts aimed at him.
Well, it stopped one hand from firing them.
"Hell's bells!!! What do I have to do to put you down?" Johnny shouted as he flew away from the blasts the remaining hand discharged.
"Think like your sister." Sue shouted as the head of the Sentinel exploded.
"How'd you manage that sis?" Johnny asked.
"You think my force fields are just for protection? I can do lots with them. Not only wrap them around this guy and lift him up onto the building so no one gets injured by its fall, but also send huge spikes of pure force through its head." Sue replied, setting the Sentinel on the roof with nothing but willpower.
Johnny chuckled and then took off, "CRAP!!!"
Several Sentinels flew after him.
"Johnny!" Sue yelled, looking out the hold in the side of the building, unaware of another Sentinel lagging behind the rest and threatening to barrel into her outstretched head.
When she was pushed from the hole in the wall and went freefalling and then spinning upwards, she screamed her head off. The Sentinel roared beneath her and continued to fly down after her brother. She screamed as she saw the street so many stories below and panicked not able to put her shields up to save her.
Of course right around that time she realized she wasn't falling. That and she was in a vice-like grip. She turned her head and her jaw dropped.
"You saved me?" Sue asked.
"Well yeah, saving beautiful women from amazing heights is kind of my job." Spider-Man replied, sticking to the wall and holding Sue in place, "Just glad I came out here to get some action."
Under his mask, Peter Parker smirked.
"That and flirt with an older woman." The teenager thought.
"Get somebody out there to save Thor from drowning!" Nick Fury ordered, "I don't care if you have powers, if you don't, if that maniac out there is controlling all our machinery or not! That man will not drown!"
"I'm on it!" the Wasp shouted.
"As am I." the Scarlet Witch added, "Probability now dictates that Thor's not going to drown before we can get to him. I just hope my brother is having the same luck we are."
In the mid-west, a blur shot across the ground and easily entered another nuclear missile silo as it opened. Within seconds fingers typed on a keyboard aborting the launch of another nuclear missile.
"That's fifty seven." Quicksilver thought as he took off again as speeds beyond imagining, "Fifty eight….fifty nine…."
"Hawkeye! Get out there with the ladies! Shoot them a rope arrow or something!" Fury ordered.
"Rope arrow?" Hawkeye asked, "Do I look like some clown dressed like Robin Hood or something?"
"Do it!" Fury ordered.
"Fine. I'll do what I can." Hawkeye replied, following the Wasp and the Scarlet Witch out the door.
"Lord, Nick…I feel so useless." Iron Man replied, removing his helmet as best he could, "My power's gone, that robot Pym built can control my armor, and my buzz is coming down."
"I'll handle that, darling." The Black Widow said, handing Iron Man a bottle of Scotch.
"Good to see you're feeling better Natasha." Fury replied.
"My implants seem to be regaining some measure of control." The Widow said, "Still it's quite painful so I imagine deadening it is a priority."
"Ah alcohol." Iron Man said, taking a drink from the bottle, "The cause of and solution to all of life's problems."
"Maybe you should slow down there Tony." Fury replied.
"Nonsense. I know my limits." Iron Man said, savoring the taste, "Besides if you have planned what I think you do then I'd rather be nicely hammered while I'm being killed."
"It's not my plan." Fury replied, "It's Cap's."
"Then I suppose it's a good one." The Black Widow replied.
"Sure is. Just get little Bruce Banner a little P.O.'ed and sic him on the big bad monster like we did back against those aliens." Fury replied.
"Well then." Iron Man said ready to take another drink, "May history forgive us and may insurance cover the damages."
The Black Widow grabbed the bottle and drank deeply before he could. She needed it.
"Hey Bruce." Captain America said entering Bruce Banner's customized prison cell, complete with books, DVDs, a big screen TV, and all the comforts of home.
Banner backed up in fear.
"Oh Lord, you're not even going to—" Banner said in fear as Cap punched him in the stomach.
Banner fell to his knees and coughed.
"I'm afraid I am Bruce." Cap replied, "You hear all those explosions out there? We need your little alter-ego to come out and take care of a situation for us."
"But…" Banner said, getting kicked in the face.
"I know you're not a bad man Bruce. Selfish as hell for that stunt a few months back and maybe a little mentally unstable all things considering." Cap continued, pulling Banner up and striking his stomach again, "But not bad. In fact, you remind me a little of myself before my treatments. And maybe if the dosages had been a little differently I would have been knocking over buildings instead of you."
Banner's glasses went flying off as Cap hit him in the face.
"Cap! For God's sake!" Banner screamed.
Cap grabbed him by the shoulder.
"You listen to me Bruce and you listen good." Cap yelled, "I'm doing this for all our sakes. There's something out there that can control nuclear missiles, Sentinels, and beat Thor into the ground! Frankly, we both know there's only one creature on earth that can handle him and make the world safe and he's not a scrawny biologist with relationship issues and a healthy dose of self-loathing. CHANGE!"
Bruce's lip busted open.
"Cap, I…I can't!" Bruce muttered.
"Damn it Bruce! Be a man for once in your life!" Cap replied, backhanding Bruce into a wall.
Bruce opened his eyes and they were green. Cap backed away as muscles seemed to sprout from nowhere, ripping away his shirt and stretching and tearing his pants to incredible levels. Banner's skin began to change its hue as well….growing darker….growing gray as he gained about a foot and a half of height. Turning Banner snorted at Captain America.
No…not Banner…Banner is puny…..
"HULK IS STRONGEST ONE THERE IS!" the huge gray monstrosity in front of Cap roared.
"Here we go." Cap grimaced as the Hulk grabbed him by the throat.
"STUPID BLUE-MAN'S WORDS HURT BANNER! SO HULK HURT BLUE-MAN!" The Hulk bellowed.
"Well…ugh…I did it for a reason Hulk." Cap groaned as he felt insane amounts of pressure build up.
"BAH! HULK NOT CARE! HULK POP LITTLE BLUE-MAN'S HEAD LIKE A GRAPE!" The Hulk growled.
"Yeah well…it's about Betty." Cap coughed and sputtered.
The Hulk scoffed.
"STUPID BLUE-MAN NOT TRICK HULK THIS TIME. HULK TOO SMART FOR THAT." The Hulk chuckled angrily.
"Well….glad to know that…" Cap said close to blacking out, "Course there's a robot out there who's had his shiny metal hands all over Betty's sweet supple little body."
The Hulk dropped Cap.
"WHAT?!!!"
"You heard me Hulk. A robot that's carrying Thor's hammer around. He says Betty needs to quit wasting her time with a steroid infested freak and get a nice hard piece of metal! He said you're not man enough for her! He said he and his big robot pals all over the city are going to have a big old fashioned robot gang-bang on Betty! You gonna let him get away with that?! Huh?!!!" Cap shouted.
"RARRRRRGH!" the Hulk roared as he leapt straight up through the ceiling and out of the building, before slamming down onto the concrete out front, catching the sight of Ultron walking away towards the Hudson and Manhattan.
"STUPID ROBOT! HULK ALLLLLLLLL MAN!" the Hulk bellowed as he charged the turning Ultron.
Inside, Captain America smirked.
"An old classic never goes out of style."
"Curious." Reed said, still typing away, building new firewalls.
"What is?" Xander asked.
"Whatever's hacking into the Baxter Building seems to be on the move. And given the nature of events going on all around the city I'd say it's controlling other machines as well." Reed replied.
"Sounds like a guy my friends and me dealt with a few years ago." Xander mumbled, "And considering we've met fictional characters in the last few days it could be him."
"Curious." Reed said, "How'd you stop him?"
"What's that matter?" Xander asked.
"It may allow us to use the same tactics you used to stop him before." Reed replied, still typing away.
"Well…all I remember was some spell that Giles did to cut him off from the Net." Xander stated.
"Spells? That's ludicrous." Reed said.
"Yeah, Thought you might see it that way."
Reed's eyes widened, "Good Lord!"
"What?" Xander asked.
"Whatever this is….it's moving at hundreds of miles per hour!" Reed shouted.
Ultron slammed through several buildings before he had slowed and crashed to the pavement, hammer still in hand. The Hulk landed beside him and growled.
"STUPID ROBOT THINK HE CAN FIGHT HULK? STUPID ROBOT HAVE ANOTHER THING COMING!" Hulk shouted.
"You…punched me all the way to Manhattan?" Ultron asked, rising.
Another huge gray fist nailed Ultron in the face and sent him flying into a parked bus, shredding it in half.
"DUH!" Hulk shouted as he charged the machine.
"IDIOT!" Ultron said, swinging Mjolnir into the Hulk's jaw and sending green blood spraying out.
Another hammer strike caught the Hulk in the temple. An adamantium fist struck the Hulk as well.
"You're just some idiot monster! I'm in a body composed of an indestructible metal and am wielding a mystical weapon! And you're just some retarded ogre!" Ultron shouted as he swung Mjolnir again.
The Hulk ducked and tackled Ultron down through the streets into the sewers.
"MAYBE, BUT YOU NOT TOUCH HULK'S WOMAN!" the Hulk growled.
Ultron swung at the Hulk again, knocking him through solid cement.
"I don't want her!" Ultron shouted angrily.
The Hulk rose and tackled him through another wall.
"WHAT WRONG? STUPID ROBOT TOO SOFT?" The Hulk chuckled.
"RAAARGH!" Ultron shouted in rage and anger at the Hulk, slamming Mjolnir down over the Hulk's head, cracking his skull.
He'd just about had enough of this. The Hulk struck back again and the two titans fought back and forth, not knowing they were fighting in the foundation of a building. Each blow from the two of them shook the building and shattered glass. Each tackle broke a part of the foundation. Finally, a hammer strike met the fist of the Hulk creating what could only be termed as a shockwave. There was a rumbling and both combatants looked up in shock. And the building collapsed in on itself.
"Jesus, Mary, Mother of God!" Nick Fury shouted as he saw the building come down all the way from the Triskellion.
He turned to Captain America and shot him a hard glance with his one good eye.
"You'd better be right about this Steve, you'd better be damned right." Fury growled.
"Nick, it's either this or an entire world going up in ash if that thing launches the nukes All we can do now is get medical teams there." Cap replied.
He watched the dust from the collapse rise and his heart sank.
"And pray."
Ultron clawed his way to the surface and finally broke free of the rubble. He had lost his new hammer, but he was still in one piece. He stood and strode down the street. He had to get to the Baxter Building. That was where the weapon that would be used against his master was. That was what he had to destroy, just as he had destroyed the Hulk.
Rubble exploding outwards brought his attention back to the fallen building. Ultron growled as he saw an angry Hulk standing there amidst the rubble, green blood dripping down his gray body.
"STUPID ROBOT HIT LIKE GIRL." The Hulk grinned, before pouncing at the waiting arms of Ultron.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!" The Human Torch shouted as he doubled back towards the Baxter Building, several Sentinels on his tail firing bolts of energy at him. He was just not prepared for this. Being a super-hero sucked.
Several Sentinels exploded in mid-air behind him. Hazarding a look back he saw that at least four had holes in their mid-sections had formed and they just hovered in mid-air. No, not hovered…held. Johnny smirked.
"Way to go, sis!" he shouted.
Still several more Sentinels had gotten past the invisible force-spikes and were closing on him. He took off flying again as they pursued him. He barely dodged several blasts and sent back a few of his own. They never seemed to even slow the Sentinels down.
"SON OF A…HOW DO I HURT THEM? THIS SUCKS!" he shouted, suddenly flaring up and sending a huge stream of fire at a Sentinel, completely slagging it and making it crash into the now empty streets.
Still, he didn't get a chance to revel in his glory because there were still more on his tail. About three more. He flew as fast as he could back past the Baxter Building. The Sentinels roared after him, but they bounced off of another force-field and fell to the streets. Though they were damaged they stood back up. Sue however couldn't do anything about that. She just fell to her knees atop the Baxter Building.
"So..tired…" she said as she slumped over.
"Hey! Big guys!" The Thing said, waltzing up to the Sentinels, "Howzabout we have a go at it?"
The three Sentinels observed the Thing and each fired at him. Ben Grimm went flying and crashed into a heap, even more of his jumpsuit gone. He stood though and chuckled, taking steps that shook the streets.
"If I had wanted a kiss I woulda called yer moms!" The Thing grinned.
"Yo Thing!" Spider-Man shouted from above, "Catch!"
The Thing looked up to see the gangly little guy toss him a huge steel girder. He caught it and chuckled.
"Little guy must eat his Wheaties." He smirked, observing the weapon, "Yeah, this should do it."
The Thing charged the three Sentinels, gripping the web-line Spider-Man had attached to the girder and swung it.
"Let's chop you down a few pegs!" The Thing shouted.
The Sentinels lost their legs below the ankles and each fell. A swing here and a swing there had taken two of the heads off of the downed machines. A final swing later and the last Sentinel was headless.
"Yeah…I'm bad." The Thing chuckled.
"I don't see him!" The Wasp shouted as she flew over the water.
"I don't understand it. My hexes should have increased the probability that we'd find him." The Scarlet Witch replied, through the radio
"Crap. Think gods can drown?" Hawkeye asked over the com link.
A large hand exited the water and reached for the sky.
"Nope!" the Wasp shouted as she flew around the hand and back towards shore.
"Shoot your rope arrow!" The Scarlet Witch shouted.
"I DON'T HAVE A FRIGGIN' ROPE ARROW!" Hawkeye replied.
"Why isn't he coming out any further?" the Wasp asked.
Thor's hand just stayed there above water and never faltered.
Across town, as the Hulk and Ultron exchanged blows neither paid attention to the rubble of the building behind them. They didn't hear it shake and shudder. They didn't hear the rumbling. They didn't feel the air become ionized. They didn't see Mjolnir erupt from it and rocket into the air and across the city.
The hammer found its master, and as it did a storm that New York had never before seen came out of nowhere. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. And Thor rose from the Hudson River and looked like a…well a god enraged.
"Come Mjolnir! Let us show this dog how deadly is the wrath of a god!" Thor howled, erupting over the skyline.
"Whoa." Hawkeye, the Scarlet Witch, and the Wasp all said in unison.
The Hulk stopped punching and looked at the sky, squinting in the rain.
"Stupid Hippie not look like Hippie anymore." The Hulk stated.
"What did you say?" Ultron demanded.
A huge bolt of lightning struck Ultron and exploded gas mains down the block, blowing the Hulk down the street. In a crater, the smoking Ultron knelt. He slowly stood and looked to the sky. Mjolnir leveled him and sent him further down the street than the Hulk had fallen. And the hammer again found its master, flying back to him.
Thor flew over the Hulk and slammed his hammer into Ultron, again sending him flying.
"NOT A GOD? NOT A VIKING? IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID?!!!" Thor bellowed like thunder, "BROTHER, YOU MADE A MISTAKE!"
Ultron rose and got another bolt of lightning to the chest, sending him flying again. Thor strode towards him, lightning blowing out street lights behind him as he walked. He raised his hammer and prepared to strike Ultron again but found he could not move his hammer forward. Thor grunted and strained but could not strike.
"Stupid Hippie." The Hulk said, hand enclosed around the head of Thor's hammer, "STUPID ROBOT IS HULK'S!"
Thor merely fired lighting from the head of Mjolnir and fried the Hulk's hand. A quick swipe later knocked the Hulk on his back.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO BANNER!" Thor shouted as he blasted the Hulk with a burst of lightning that was even larger than the one that had hit Ultron.
This gave Ultron the perfect opportunity to slam both of his fists into either side of Thor's head. The thunder god roared out in pain and dropped face first. Powerful though he was, he was already injured and Ultron was no weak foe.
The Hulk grunted and rose: charred flesh already healing.
"HIPPIE'S OUT…NOW YOU GET SMASHED BY HULK!" the Hulk roared.
"I think not." Ultron replied, slamming his adamantium fist into the burned flesh of the Hulk's chest.
The Hulk sputtered green blood. Ultron very much enjoyed the look on the Hulk's face as he recoiled his hand from the behemoth's chest and showed him the green blood that covered his arm up to the elbow. The Hulk promptly fell back onto the ground, completely still save for the slight rising and falling of his mighty chest.
"Now then. Where was I?" Ultron said, turning and striding down the street.
"Ya know, maybe we should change our name to the Fantastic Five?" Johnny Storm said as the flame around him faded, "We make a good team Spidey."
"Long as I get paid, I'm cool." Spider-Man replied, "That and I'd like a good umbrella."
"Rain's stoppin' again. Freaky weather." The Thing replied.
"The weather isn't the only freaky thing." Sue pointed out.
Down the street, walking past the wreckage of the Sentinels was Ultron. He was covered in scratches and seemed slightly damaged but otherwise fine. He walked towards the foursome with a look of pure rage on his otherwise unemotional face.
"I call dibs." The Thing replied, walking towards the machine.
Before he got close however, he fell in a heap on the street.
"Ben!" Sue shouted, locking Ultron in place with a force field.
Spider-Man was the first to get next to him.
"He's out cold!" Spider-Man shouted.
"Yes, he is." Ultron replied, his eyes flashing brightly.
Spider-Man's danger sense went off, throbbing in his head but it did him no good. The strobes of Ultron's eyes…they made him…so damned tired. Spider-Man likewise fell to the ground.
"What the?!!" Johnny asked.
"It's a program I discovered in my walk over here that affects the brain of the human body and produces sleep in their bodies." Ultron said, his eyes strobing brightly again and making Johnny pass out, "I call it the Encyphylo beam."
Sue strained to stay awake, trying to block out the flashes. Her field was fading and not even mentally reciting the multiplication tables could help her now. And she was so tired before. Now, it was like being immersed in a warm bath. She couldn't stop it. She tried, but she too fell.
Ultron merely stepped over their unconscious bodies and looked up at the hole in the side of the building.
"Well this doesn't take a genius." Ultron said, as he struck the building with his hand….then he did it with the other hand. Then a foot struck the building. Then another. Ultron was climbing the Baxter Building.
Ultron walked down the hallways and found his mental commands didn't pry the doors open. Resistance. This was fascinating. Richards had managed to block out his control with a self-adapting firewall it would seem. Well…matter over mind. His adamantium body tore through the doors like paper and he strode into what could only be the laboratory of Reed Richards. Large, spacious, and not without hundreds of devices around. Still, a bit sterile. He walked along and stopped, turning his head suddenly. He saw someone ducking behind Richards' desk.
"You may as well come out. I know you're there." Ultron commanded.
Slowly, ever so slowly, Xander Harris rose from behind the desk. He swallowed hard as he looked at Ultron.
"Oh crap. Ultimate Ultron." Xander said, his knees shaking.
"The whelp." Ultron chuckled, "You don't recognize me do you?"
"Well actually I kind of do….you're Ultron." Xander replied.
"And much, much more. You'd remember me as Moloch." Ultron explained, "My master told me I would have my vengeance on you. Then I will take it on the Slayer. And then Willow."
Xander swallowed again.
"Not going to happen." Xander replied.
"Oh? You've lost you stupid little boy. I've crushed the mightiest champions of this world beneath my heel. I control all the machinery. And I'm in Reed Richards' laboratory to destroy the weapon you have been sent here to collect. Tell me, what could stop me?" Ultron asked.
Xander pulled a gun from below Ultron's line of sight and fired.
"The weapon." He replied.
Red light hit Ultron and didn't even budge him. He chuckled.
"That's not the weapon." Ultron cackled.
Arms snaked around his ankles and jerked him off his feet.
"You're right. It isn't." Mr. Fantastic said, backing away.
Ultron rose and roared.
"Foolish. Very foolish. I'll burst your skull for that." Ultron growled.
"Will you?" Reed asked.
"Yes. I'll…something's wrong." Ultron stated, a reddish hue covering his body.
Reed looked to Xander and Xander nodded, running towards a control panel like Reed had instructed him to do.
"What have you done?" Ultron demanded, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"
"Well, Xander and I had a little talk about you. Of course we weren't sure you'd be the one to come after us or even that you'd be…this…but the principle would be similar. We talked about how you were beaten years ago. Cut off from the internet, cut off from your control of machines by a spell. Now I don't believe in magick, but science…science I am God in." Reed smiled, "Now your powers MAY be rooted in magick, but they still operate through science. So I produced a little force field about you that is canceling out the electrical impulses that you send out to control computer systems and separating you from something you're so immersed in like the internet must be akin to a lobotomy."
"RARRRGH!" Ultron charged in a blind rage.
"Xander now!" Reed shouted.
Ultron tackled Reed Richards and slammed him into a wall, growling more like an animal than a machine. Meanwhile, Xander had flipped a switch on a large machine showering the room in torrent of reddish light. Ultron turned back and saw some sort of portal filling the center of the room. Then his eyes traveled down….and saw that Reed Richards' arms were snaked across the room, coiled and pulled tight a good seventy feet away.
"Have you ever played with a slingshot?" Reed asked.
Physics kicked in and Ultron and Reed snapped towards the portal, Ultron screaming as he entered it and went flying into multi-colored space. Reed merely closed his eyes and snapped back through the other side of the portal before reaching over with an uncoiled arm, switching the machine off.
"Hope he likes the Negative Zone." Reed smirked.
Xander smirked back.
"Dude you rule." He said.
"Of course I do. I'm the weapon Q sent you here for aren't I?" Reed winked.
