Chapter 9 - Fantastic Four Part 2 (1/2)

The creature didn't look like one of the aliens that had invaded in the battle of New York, it was something else. Spider-man flew through the door as he delivered an uppercut right to the things face. *Boom* He didn't hold back while throwing the punch so the sound of his fist hitting the things face created an audible sound.

The creature that was trying to untangle itself from Mr. Fantastic reeled in surprise from the hit, but didn't look too damaged. Spider man's lenses seemed to rise slightly as if he was raising an eyebrow, before he started to lay into the creature at full pelt. Mentally Peter was cursing that he wasn't in his best shape, if he was he could have taken the creature down faster.

While more of these creatures suddenly appeared in the room and it became a big mess of people fighting everywhere, fire being thrown about and a big shout, ”ITS CLOBBERING TIME!”, resounding around the room, Peter quietly spoke to his comms. ”Crystal, hack into the Baxter building systems and shut down the portal.”

His eyes flickered over to Reed for a minute as the man looked like he was frantically trying to shut down the device he had created no doubt. The man was one of the smartest in the world, actually maybe the smartest. People like Victor Von Doom may disagree, and even Tony stark, but they couldn't knock on Reeds brilliance.

Though Peter noted, you think being so smart he wouldn't create a portal to a different dimension, or part of the galaxy. In a short few seconds Crystal's voice came back. ”Hacking into them now, there seems to be a program from a one Dr. Doom in the main frame that set the device on. It will take a few seconds for me to wipe the protocol and take control of the building.” ”Ok.” Peter gave a small nod and shouted to Reed.

”Don't worry about the portal I can close it in a few seconds!” Reed who was stressing about how to turn the machine off looked up in shock as he registered, that a. someone was able to shut the machine off in a few seconds, and b. that Spider-man was actually here. He had been following some of his escapades over the years, he was particularly interested in his DNA. Was he a mutant like some of the people popping up more and more these days, or was he something else? He really would love to talk to the man, after all this is over.

They all got stuck into the fight as they tried and tried to force the creatures back through the portal. With 2 heavy hitters, in Spider-Man and the Thing, they were slowly but surely pushing them back. ”I'm ready Peter.” Crystals voice came once again and Peter shouted out pushing one of the creatures back, shooting webbing on two sides of the room and closing it around the monsters. ”Now!” Shouting out the Fantastic Four put all their strength into pushing the creatures through the portal.

Reed pulled back an elongated fist and struck one like a ball through the opening, the Thing much the same. Johnny fired a continuous stream of fire at one of the creatures forcing it back through. And Sue used her barriers to push the rest back.

”Crystal now!” At the end of his words the portal that had once been on shut down. Steam rose from the machine and the group of heroes slumped to the floor. The battle may have only lasted a short amount of time, but it was draining. Not to mention the fact 4 of them were new to being heroes and didn't usually fight such monsters.

After a few minutes of rest Spider-Man finally got up and started to walk out from where he came. Johnny looked over from where he was slumped and couldn't help but speak. ”I don't know how you deal with fights like that all the time.” All he got as a response was a slight chuckle. ”The fights aren't usually that hard. If you guys are going to do the super hero thing, you'll have to do this a lot more.”

”What are you talking about super hero thing? We're scientists; we won't go looking to fight such creatures.” Reed spoke up after making sure the machine wouldn't turn on again; Johnny gave him an aghast look. ”Reeeeeed!” ”Johnny!” Sue spoke up from the side. ”He's right, we didn't mean to get these powers, and we aren't trying to be heroes.” ”Is that so?” Spider-Man's lenses once again rose in surprise as he looked at the group of 4 who just took on aliens.
