Chapter 70 - Captured!

"Watch out!" Springing back and letting go of the invisible flying car, Peter watched as a green light flashed on the ground before flying right at them. The flash of green was so fast that it couldn't move out of the way before it hit the Fantasti-car. *Bang* Fire flew out as the stealth function turned off revealing them to the world, the right side of the car was set alight.

Peter could hear the panicked voice of Reed in the c.o.c.k pit. "That hit one of our stabilizers, we're losing Geo-synchronisation!" Another green flash came from the ground as Peter started to fall and another explosion went off. "Get out of here now!"

Peter heard Sue's voice as the windows came down and everyone jumped out. "Flame on!" Johnny lit up as he flew out, Sue creating a type of invisible step for herself, Ben and Reed to stand on. The step started to speed towards the ground as more green lights came from below.

Peter sent one look their way as he started to fall, glad they were ok, as he made his way down dodging the continued fire from below. *Boom* The Fantasti-car couldn't take anymore fire as it exploded into a ball of fire, sending shrapnel outwards, raining above them.

One piece flew out smacking into Sue as she concentrated on getting everyone down, hitting the side of her head! Her eyes rolled back into her head as she blacked out. Without the platform to stand on, the rest started falling to the ground as Johnny and Peter went to help them. Peter created a make shift parachute with his webbing, something he had to do more than a person would think.

Flying over to the dropping form of Reed, he grabbed onto him and slowed him down, while Johnny grabbed his sister. Ben was left to gravity however as he dropped towards the ground. With his tough skin he wouldn't be killed from the drop, but it might hurt, but peter couldn't help him.

"Damn how did they find us!" Reed shouted out loud as they closed in on the ground. Already there were multiple soldiers and droids flocking to the area. 'This mission just got a whole lot harder.' Peter grew worried as he looked at the amount of people coming towards them.

Peter tried to dodge the fire that was coming his way, and with Reeds help they made it close to the ground, but as they were only a few meters away from reaching their destination one of the blasts got through.

Hit smack bang in the head Reed flopped unconscious as Peter helped him to the ground. 'At least they are using non lethal blasts, or we would be in big trouble.' Looking to his side Peter could just see the signs of Ben, not moving at all. Ben had been knocked out from the drop and the last two up were only Johnny and Peter.

Surrounded on all sides, Peter could make out men in armour as well as robots that had eerily creepy metal faces. All of them had their weapons raised and aimed at their direction. Johnny had flown low to regroup with Peter, placing his sister next to his other two unconscious team mates.

Looking down at the 3 people who were knocked out Peter he knew he couldn't get them out. He grit his teeth under his mask, but in the end raised his hands in surrender, The soldiers around him didn't move a muscle at the small gesture, but Johnny did. Johnny screamed from above him, fire already in his hands.

"What are you doing?! We have to fight our way out!" Peter shook his head; he had been in similar situations. "We can't." He nodded to the rest of the fantastic four. "Not right now." Johnny looked back at them once again a feeling of guilt and anger welling up inside. He clenched his hands in anger as he slowly let the fires die down in his hand.

It was as he was distracted that a shot came from somewhere in the army knocking Johnny in the head taking him out. Peter rushed over to stop his crumpling body from hitting the ground. As he grabbed him out of the sky and gently laid him down, Peter glared in the direction the shot came from.

*Clack* *Clack* Metal boots struck the cobble stone road that they were on as a deep chuckle came from afar. The chuckle was sinister in nature and had a metallic ring to it. Victor Von Doom walked slowly out of his personal army, the weapon in his arm still smoking with a green glow.

"I always did hate Johnny the most." Doom looked at the Human Torch before he looked at the only person still awake. "Spider-Man?" Looking down at Johnny one last time Peter stood to his full height as he stared the dictator down. Giving a flourish and bow he spoke in a regal tone, with a hint of sarcasm.

"Yes it is I! Your friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! I am happy to finally meet you your doomness." Doom was stilled for a second as he looked at the perfect bowing person in front of him. He was not amused though at the answer, as he raised his weapon and pointed it at the arachnid. "Your Doom has arrived Arachnid." He couldn't hide the anger in his voice.

"Well at least he didn't say bug." As Peter muttered that to himself, he watched as the weapon fired right at him, out of pure instinct he dodged the blast. Doom bristles with anger as he could swear he could see a smug expression and an eyebrow raised on the expressionless mask.

It was as if Spider-Man was asking. 'That all you got?' Narrowing his eyes dangerously behind his mask he fired again, this time Peter stopped himself from dodging and watched as it got closer, bringing with it an all encompassing blackness.
