"General we had an agreement!" Reed exclaimed once we had reached the military base in Alaska.
"Calm down!" the General ordered, "The enemy has been captured, mission accomplished"
"Where is he?" Sue demanded.
"Contained" the General replied simply.
"Where? In a prison cell?" I accused, "We don't even have proof any of this is his fault!"
"General?" one of the soldiers questioned.
"Mr Sherman" the General acknowledged, "If you'll excuse us, we have work to do"
"We want to be there for the questioning" Reed requested.
"Not gunna happen" the General concluded, he turned to the guard at the door, "Please ensure our guests remain here, comfortably"
"Yes sir" the Guard acknowledged.
"Why? Because you don't want to see you torturing him?" I accused further and glared as the door was shut on his retreating form.
"Are we prisoners?" Jonny asked staring at the security camera as I paced up and down "How did this happen?"
"Apparently they don't want us interfering with their methods" Reed concluded.
"I can't even imagine what they're doing to him in there" Sue worried
"I say he gets what he deserves" Ben interjects.
"How can you say that?" Sue accused
"I'm just saying that maybe the General's right about this" Ben Suggested, "He was about to destroy the planet, he said so himself"
"That doesn't make torturing him right!" I exclaimed
"It doesn't make any sense, he protected me from the missile, why would he do that?" Sue asked.
"Maybe he thinks your cute?" Jonny suggested, causing me to roll my eyes.
"There's a lot more going on here" Reed contemplated, "didn't he say he wasn't the destroyer?"
"Maybe he lied?" Ben accused.
"I know I'm new at this but…" J piped up, "but to me he didn't seem like much of a bad guy"
"He didn't lie" I announced, everyone turned and looked to me.
"I thought you said you couldn't read his mind?" Sue pointed out.
"I can't" I replied, "At least not in the sense that I normally do, I could feel sensations rather than thoughts, it was more like Empathy than Telepathy"
"So what did you feel from him?" Reed asked
"Lots of guilt, too much for someone who mindlessly destroys worlds, and worry for someone" I explained.
"Maybe he's being blackmailed?" J suggested, I stopped pacing as I was overcome by a strange wave of pain.
"What is it?" Reed asked concernedly.
"They're hurting him!" I exclaimed, wide eyed.
"We need to get inside there and talk to him" Reed concluded, "But, under the radar"
He turned and looked at Sue. We quickly formulated a plan. Jonny went over to the door and opened it, J went with him.
"Hey, is there any way we could get some DVD's, popcorn or something just to pass the time?" Jonny asked the guard.
"Yeah, I'm bored!" J agreed, the plan was commencing.
"I'll call it in Mr Storm" the guard acknowledged.
"Thank you" Jonny replied, he made to close the door but opened it again so that there was a gap between him and the door, where J was standing, "Semper-fi"
"That's the Marine Corps, we're the army" the Guard corrected, as the invisible Sue was able to slip under Jonny's arm and through J due to his phasing power, leaving the guard none the wiser.
"Right, I know it's the…" Jonny said awkwardly.
"Sure ya did!" J mocked sarcastically as Jonny shut the door.
"She's out" I confirmed once the door was firmly closed. Hence began the period of tense waiting as Sue talked to the Surfer.
It was roughly fifteen minutes later when I sensed her outside the door again. I nodded to Jonny and J who repeated their pestering of the guard allowing Sue to slip back in.
"…And the Board is what's drawing it here!" Sue concluded her explanation.
"How do you fight something that can eat planets?" Jonny exclaimed.
"A really big LAZER?" J suggesting, once again, earning a glare from me.
"This isn't a comic J!" I shouted.
"We have to get to the board and lead it away from here before it's too late!" Reed decided.
"Do you think the General will go for that?" Ben asked.
"He'll have no choice" Reed concluded, so we formulated a new plan. This time it was Ben who went to the door.
"Here, let me ask you something" he invited the guard, I rolled my eyes as he shouted his usual catchphrase and knocked him out. We all spilled out into the corridor and began searching the complex, franticly trying to find where the board was being held. All of a sudden we turned the corner and there was a loud explosion, a chunk of concrete shot towards us, I grabbed J's hand and tried to pull both of us out the way but it was too late, the concrete flew right at us. And through us. Both of us. I let go of J's hand and looked down at my body to check it was all still there, it was.
"Didn't know I could do that!" J breathed, looking up at me and marvelling the fact that I had come through the rock with him. Sue and Jonny who had managed to dive to each side both got up.
"You're ok!" Sue said, relieved.
"Ben!" Jonny exclaimed, turning to the concrete circle embedded in the wall, it began to shake and crumble revealing Ben also stuck in the wall.
"Ok, that one hurt!" he admitted
"Where's Reed?" Sue asked, looking round.
"MMMMmmm" a muffled reply came from behind Ben, who ripped himself out of the wall to reveal a squished pancake-Reed, who promptly pealed himself off the wall and became 3D again.
"My bad" Ben apologised, Reed nodded and we turned and headed down the path of destruction.
We found the box thing the board had been in smashed, along with the rest of the lab.
"Reed!" Sue exclaimed, pointing to a rather human shaped pile of ash.
"Eww! Is that…?" I exclaimed in disgust.
"Victor" Reed whispered annoyedly.
"Who else?" I agreed.
"We've gotta get it back" Reed concluded
"We need to get the Surfer; he's the only one that understands its power!" Sue realised
"Even if we break outta this place, how're we gunna catch up to Victor?" Ben asked
"Leave that to me" Reed commanded, he entered something into his PDA and then we ran, following Sue, to where the Surfer was being held, Ben smashed through the wall and went over to where the not-so-silver entity was strapped to a board, Sue encased the guards in force fields while I put them to sleep telepathically, I didn't really like doing it, manipulating minds was wrong, but for now it was necessary.
"Pal, this is the luckiest day of your life" Ben commented as he broke the bonds and freed the Surfer, then, with Reed supporting him, we took the Alien out of the lab and down the corridor before we were stopped by the female Soldier that Jonny kept on flirting with and failing.
"What the hell is going on?" she demanded, pointing her gun at us, "Where is General Hagar?"
"He's dead" Reed told her,
"And if we don't get him outta here we're all gunna be" Ben concluded.
"Frankie… the world is literally at stake here, you have to trust us… please!" Jonny reasoned.
The stood there for a second then lowered the gun, we ran past her, up some very narrow stairs.
"We have to get to the roof! It should be here by now!" Reed exclaimed.
"What should be here?" Ben asked.
"And why the roof?" I questioned. We soon got to the top and opened the door to the snowy terrain outside. Out of the sky swooped what at first looked like a plane but was soon revealed to be a flying silver car.
"Oh crap" Ben said staring.
"Reed, this is by far the coolest thing you have ever done!" Jonny exclaimed, running over to examine the car. "Hammy?"
"Of course" Reed confirmed.
"You invented a flying car! You actually did!" I screamed with excitement, "This is like the coolest thing ever since they invented laptops or mobile phones!"
Which from me is a pretty big compliment considering I am addicted to my laptop. J stood in a stunned silence, I was pretty sure he was living his comic-book dream.
"Ok, Ben, you get inside, Jonny, Heather, you fly behind" Reed commanded (I know this version of the Fantasticar is built for five people but Heather still has to fly as J takes her seat)
"Come on, Dude, you gotta let me fly this thing!" Jonny protested.
"Forget about it, I'm the best pilot, I should fly it!" Ben interjected.
"Can I drive it? Please! Please! Please!" I squealed.
"Are you serious, you'll be lucky if this thing can carry you!" Jonny shouted at Ben then turned to me, "And can you even drive?"
I looked slightly guilty.
"I can fly circles around both of you blindfolded!" Ben retorted
"Shut up!" Reed shouted over the arguing "And move it! I'm driving!"
Jonny and I shrugged at each other as the others got into the car.
"Flame on!" Jonny shouted and took off after it, with me hot on his tail.
"Ok, we're now officially enemies of the United States of America, Victor is out there with unlimited power, and we've got a giant intergalactic force that's about to destroy our planet in less than 24 hours, did I miss anything?" Ben ranted, I shook my head.
"I've got a lock on Victor's energy trail!" Reed announced, "He's headed over south east china! Hang on!"
We swerve to go the right direction; I fly alongside, on the opposite side to Jonny then speed up so I'm hovering next to Reed.
"So, I was thinking" I announced out of the blue.
"Never!" J said sarcastically.
"Shut up J, anyway, I was thinking, this this car needs a name" I concluded, "I can't just call it Cool-flying-car-that-Reed-made, that's far too long, how about the Fantasticar, has a nice ring to it, what do you think?"
"Mmm" he acknowledged, though I don't think he was actually listening, he was busy tracking Victor.
'NORRIN RAD' The Surfer says randomly, is that the first thing he's said that wasn't a warning? I thought interestedly.
"What?" Sue inquired.
'I WAS ONCE CALLED NORRIN RAD' the Surfer, Norrin, explained.
"Norrin, we're gunna need your help to save our world" Sue explained "Do you understand?"
Something happened causing Reed to squint at the display, then all of a sudden we were hit by a wave of cosmic energy, luckily though thanks to my clip my telepathy-interference-thing had not happened this time.
"What the hell was that?" Ben exclaimed, as I spotted the figure on a surf board in the sky.
"I'll give you one guess" I offered.
"Victor!" Reed shouted over the wind, "The board is drawing the destroyer here! You have to give it up!"
"You know I've never been the giving type, Reed!" Doom retorted. "Move on!"
Another blast of cosmic energy makes us swerve towards the sea below, Jonny manages to double back towards the villain but a column of water shoots up from the Sea and extinguishes him, making him fall down. I dive after him and catch him telekinetically.
"Thanks" he nodded before heating himself up to evaporate the water and flaming on properly. Turning back to the battle I realise that the car has split up into three bits, one with Reed, one with Sue and the Surfer and one with Ben and J, all are engaging the hyper-charged villain in battle. Re-joining the fight I follow as we chase Doom round, he shoots blasts of cosmic energy as us but most miss.
"Surfs up, metal head!" Ben shouted before slamming into him.
"Only the surfer can stop the destroyer, but he needs his board!" Reed screamed over the wind.
"Come and get it, Richards" the empowered villain taunted.
"Victor!" Reed persisted as we surrounded the metallic man, cutting him off in every direction, he realises this and summons his new power.
"Let's all go for a spin!" he shouted as he releases the cosmic energy creating a massive tornado that scooped up all of us, I am so disoriented that I can't stop when the whirling winds spit us all out over the lights of a city. I am flying, no falling, through the air, I'm pretty sure I left my stomach back there somewhere, I tried to stop my fall but my mind is still too confused.
I'm going to crash.
I'm going to die.
So much for saving the world...
Ooh I know, I'm mean again, still you have to wait, I will try to be as quick as I can, next week will be easier since my brother won't be hogging downstairs.
Bye for now
