Chapter 157 - [BT] Blastaar Blasting…

[Before Transition]

"I thank you beings for providing me with such a passageway, it was just in time as well since the explosive core where positive matter and anti matter meet was about to burst and send out a wave of destruction which I would be caught in. Thankfully I managed to blast my way out of the containment suit those rebellious dogs put me in before sending me to an abandoned planet for my death by being caught in the wave of destruction and conveniently there was a open portal providing me a way to escape the blast, for that you have my thanks and so I'll show you some mercy and allow you to serve me since you've brought me to my new kingdom, a place to start anew and rebuild my armies after I conquer this new planet and inevitably wipe out the puny defence your species will put up." We all stare dumbstruck at the guy startled by the sheer audacity of him to claim that he would wipe out the defending armies of earth and conquer it to make his own armies but when I look at his bulging muscles and his animalistic face I get the sense that he would actually be capable of that and while I don't have a monkeys as to who this guy is I know that he's incredibly dangerous since my spider sense is going off like a vibrator which is a crude but accurate metaphor, the rest of them are too dumbstruck by his arrogance to properly reply to anything and we all start at him in silence for a moment with Reed and Susan getting back up and into their stances to join Johnny and Ben in the upcoming fight but it seems like the huge grey guy noticed their defiance and he doesn't like it. "A shame that you're not going to accept my mercy, you mustn't understand how rare it is and you are taking it for granted in your ignorance. No matter, you can die with the countless others who will fight my inevitable conquest but before you do I will grace you with the name of the new ruler of this planet. I am you're new king.. Blastaar…"

"Like hell we are gonna let you do any of that, you freak face! You clearly don't know but we are the strongest guys around so I suggest you hop on home before we lose our patience, don't make us kick your ȧss ugly! Flame On!" Before any of us can actually do anything Johnny makes himself known by putting his foot in his mouth and insulting the incredibly dangerous new threat that's made itself known before screaming his catchphrase and lighting himself on fire disintegrating the clothes he wore on top of his superhero suit but even then Johnny only does so to make himself intimidating and he doesn't actually attack Blastaar clearly hoping that the self proclaimed king would take his offer and go back home since I think even Johnny can tell just how dangerous this guy is, I can see both Susan and Ben with at his actions but ready themselves for the upcoming fight while Reed ignores Johnny in favour of analysing Blastaar for anything useful but it seems Blastaar doesn't like how he's being disrespected and underestimated as he lets lose an angry growl that threatens to deafen us with its volume before letting out a breath to try and rid himself of his frustration probably in the hopes of subjugating us and getting himself some soldiers to help conquer this new dimension for him ur unfortunately that isn't gonna happen. "You would've otherwise been slain for your insolence you pest but your powers intrigue me, I can conquer this world by myself quite easily but it would take me quite long to do so on my own as even one as mighty as me can only be in one place at a time. Get on your knees and repent now and you'll be welcomed into my new kingdom with open arms, you can be one of my new generals to help my usher in the new age of Blastaar. The same goes for the rest of you as well especially you Rock Spirit, join me now and help me bring this world to its knees or defy me and die, the choice is yours."

Blastaar growls out one last olive branch ignoring Johnny being Johnny and the Fantastic Four lay it no mind and while a lesser mind might give it some credence I do not possess a lesser mind and I know if this Blastaar comes from the Negative Zone then the Fantastic Four of other universes must have also had encounters with him and to my knowledge the Fantastic Four were still going strong in the comics before I died and so they must've already dealt with this guy before so it stands to reason that the Fantastic Four of my universe should have everything they need and the capacity to beat this guy so I figure if I just stay in the background and avoid the fight to the best of my ability then the rest of the team will deal with this problem easily enough without any risk to myself and so I try and whiten myself and slunk down slightly as if trying to hide behind the podium with the interface for the portal while leaving the rest of the situation for the others to handle, this time Johnny doesn't say anything instead deferring to Reed much like the rest of the team who also look toward him for guidance and some semblance of a plan or battle plan since he's the one with the proper grasp on everyone's ability's and with his analytical mind he should've figured out some way of fighting this guy and the appropriate response so they all wait for his orders on how to best combat this new adversary and finally Reed speaks out his battle plan which I expected since he s attacking a new foe whose powers and strengths he's unaware of but what he says last startles and unnerves me. "Johnny, cover fire and try and blinding him with your fire, fly around and try to be an annoyance. Ben, it's clobbering time, take the battle to him while I try and restrain him with my abilities by wrapping around and tying to tie down his limbs. Sue, keep your distance and support us by shielding us when needed and going on the offensive whenever we are in a tough spot. Nick, fire up the portal, we are gonna blast this guy back to where he came from."

They all begin to take their respective roles with Susan dropping back with an annoyed face and her hands spread out towards the grey beast while Johnny has already taken to the air and started to blast fire at Blastaar and Ben and Reed break into a run towards him with Ben shouting out his customary catchphrase 'It's Clobbering Time' but what I'm most horrified at in this scenario is that I've been given a role by the team leader and it's quite the crucial role as well since I'm opening the portal to send this guy home and while it's as easy as a flick of a switch it still makes me quite the target and paints a bullseye on my back since I'm tasked with opening his way home and while it does make me a target I don't worry much since I think I know what Reed was thinking and why he didn't mind shouting his plan out loud, Reed shouted out all our orders aloud so we knew what we were supposed to do but he did Johnny first so he could start blasting Blastaar and distracting him with his flames and mine last so Blastaar would be to busy dealing with Johnny's flames to stop me from opening the portal and so is saw no fault with his plan and raised myself arm to grasp the switch but it seems like both myself and Reed miscalculated heavily since we ȧssumed that Blastaar would be distracted by Johnny but it seems that isn't the case. "You think I'll just allow you to send me home, you buffoons! You think these pitiful flames can stop me, stop the might of Blastaar! Tremble before my power, I'm here to stay and you're not sending me back through that portal!"

Johnny's flames were doing absolutely jack shit to the mean grey beast known as Blastaar and they weren't even affecting the guy not even making him flinch and this is where Reeds plan went into disarray since Johnny wasn't sufficiently distracting Blastaar and while I'm sure Johnny could turn up the heat even more that would take him to levels that would be too dangerous for the rest of us in the room (most likely me since the others could probably handle it, Johnny thinks I'm a baseline human) and so without Blastaar being distracted there was nothing to stop him from stopping me from opening the portal and so with inhuman speed he shot his arm out toward me sending my spider senses blaring like a bomb siren, I managed to catch just a glimpse of some sort of blast leaving his fist and heading straight towards me but it came at me with such speed that there was little I could do except from jump backwards but even that wasn't much and my death was as pretty much guaranteed with how loud my spider sense was but it seems I was lucky since instead of the blast aiming at me like I thought it was it was instead aimed at the console with the switch and controls for the portal so he must of thought it prudent that instead of killing me who would operate the portal he would instead destroy the controls to the portal so no one could operate the portal which is a bug relief for me but even with me jumping backwards and the blast aiming at the console the blast was so fast and powerful that when it impacted the console it absolutely obliterated alit and blasted me with such force that I was sent across the room to collide with the back wall of Reeds laboratory. "NICK, NOOO!! YOUR'E GONNA REGRET THAT YOU FUCKIN' ARSEHOLE! ARGGHHHH!!!"

I can see Johnny scream in fury and begins to let loose a continuous stream of flames that are much hotter than his previous ones at Blastaar instead of the fire blasts he was doing earlier and these ones seem to actually have some affect as I can see the bug grey oaf grimace which I sincerely enjoy since the bastard ended up blasting me across the room into the back wall and while it's nothing I couldn't handle with my enhanced durability it still pisses me off not to mention the damage from the actual blast but I'm a bit confused at how much Johnny is overreacting at my ȧssault since he seems to be really angry and mad about it and I never thought that we were friends like that and it's making me feel a bit bad for using him only to gain access to the Baxter Building but I block that from my mind for a moment since there are more important things going on than stupid questions like that, I quickly check my front which took the brunt of the damage from the blast and it hurt quite a bit seeing it's how powerful that blast was as spider powers are mainly for agility and not durability and so I quickly stiffen up my body to ignore my injury and find my way to my feet, while I could probably lay back and wait for the fantastic four to defeat this guy I'm now really kissed or at being blasted and would actually really like to send this grey troll packing but how to do that is the question since I can't actually reveal my powers…
