"Balurrians Spider-man, native war faring race of the Negative Zone," Franky explained as he sent a blast of cosmic power, blasting a group of Librarians off the ground, "Annihilus' henchmen."
"And Annihilus is a bad guy?" I asked as a Ballurrian nearly cleaved my head off with a swing of his axe, I grumbled and thrust my hands forward bringing out two of my stingers. I swiped across his chest, cutting through his armour before kicking him away, "annoying."
"Why are they even here?" Lyja, Johnny's Skrull wife, asked.
"Reed mentioned they want something the researchers stationed here made," Ben grumbled out as he grabbed three of the monkey's and sent through through the air, landing on another emerging squad of them.
"And what could that possibly be?" I asked.
"I think that," Frankly said as he blasted the ground again, this time when the dust settled he pointed at the ground revealing a layer of solid gold right underneath.
My eyes shot open, "ah….can I take some? Pretty please?"
"What does a being like Annihilus want with gold?" Johnny asked, "he's the ruler of a freaking reality!"
"I'm just guessing uncle Johnny," Franklin said as he blasted some more Balurrians, "this is the only logical conclusion."
"Not quite," came Reed's robotic voice over the comms, "the researchers here have informed me what the Balurrians and Annihilus wants isn't the gold, that is nothing to him. What he wants is what they have managed to synthesis. The world's first and only synthesis of Proto-Adamantium. If he gets his hands on this it could fuse with his cosmic rod making him unstoppable."
"I'm sorry, I'm not following," I asked in confusion, leaping over a Balurrian, kicking him across the jaw.
"Annihilus has a weapon known as the Cosmic Rod, it keeps him immortal and grants him powers beyond mortal limits. But it does have limits, it's physical container being so. But if he has Proto-Adamantium, that limitation would no longer be of concern."
"Hmm, proto-adamantium, that's what Logan's claws are made of right?"
"No, Logan's claws use just Adamantium, Proto-Adamantium is what Cap's shield is made off," Johnny explained as he and I tagged a bunch of the evil henchmen, "but Reed I thought it was impossible to recreate Proto-Adamantium?"
"It was, but not anymore. That is one of the reasons they came here in the first place, to create more favorable conditions for the process. Hence they made a perfect mixture of vibranium and adamantium, and what's more it's in it's liquid form, potentially deadly."
"Ah guys," Lyja called out, "I think we need to focus on this first," she pointed up at the sky as a large ship big enough to block out a nearby supernova came over the facility.
Immediately all the few remaining Barbarians began to cheer and roar in pride. I gulped as my spider senses began to tingle, I watched as a small portion of the ship opened up revealing a creature that looked like the love child of the Hulk and a praying mantis.
He was huge, bigger than Ben. He was covered with purple armour and wings the size of hang gliders on his back. And on his neck was a glowing yellow rod that just screamed at me now magically active brain. That thing was powerful, I could tell that.
"Oh fuck me," I gulped as I watched it fly out of his ship, coming down right at us with an army of smaller bug shaped enemies coming right behind him.
"Johnny burn his lackeys! Franky and I will deal with Annihilus! Lyja, you and Spidey stop the ground troops!" Ben called out as the FF moved out.
I saw Johnny fight off his flying hoard, blasting them all with his flames. Lyja and I fought back to back, her morphing her body into that of a giant tiger, charging and slashing everything in her way.
I myself was a lot more in control, moving slowly, slicing with my stingers, making sure none were too damaged. I still disliked killing if I could help it.
But the highlight of the show was watching Franklin and Ben fight the giant Annihilus. It was like watching Gods do battle. I have expected Thor to show up and bring down lightning.
Ben jumped at the monster and socked him across the face while Franky distracted him with blasts of energy. Annulus fought them off both, throwing Ben and Franky before blasting sickly yellow beans of energy at Franky.
The world shock every time Franklin and Annihilus clashed. Their power break the surface of the ground we stood on.
BOOM!
I saw Franky falter, being pushed back slowly. Just then Ben jumped back into action, hitting Annihilus up the back, giving Franklin the chance to blast the energy back at the monster.
"Go Franky!" I cried out, back kicking an Balurrian, "rude monkey, can't you see I'm cheering for my number one fan?!"
"Kid look out!" Johnny cried out as suddenly Annihilus appeared in a burst of speed, crashing into Franklin and sending him flying into the ground. My eyes went wide as I saw the insect like warlord of this world fly right into the base, ignoring the rest of us.
"Franklin!" Lyja cried out as she ran to him, now back to her normal form. She picked him up and held him tightly as Johnny and Ben came up.
