War Crimes- Part Two
Outside the Wakandan Embassy in New York, Iron Man flies down and asks to see the Black Panther. On the video screen, W’Kabi appears and asks if he can take a message. Without confirming or denying that T’Challa is actually there, Iron Man is forced to ask for Queen Ororo. She appears on the screen as Iron Mans asks to be let in so they can talk. She informs him that they are talking now. When Iron Man gets angry, she snaps back, yelling at him that he couldn’t put aside his political differences to attend her wedding and that of her husband because they wouldn’t play the game. Iron Man tries to reason saying that was after Jim Rhodes was attacked by T’Challa’s bodyguards. Storm gets angry and tells him they attacked a Sentinel who in turn attacked their king who was protecting a child.
	Iron Man lets her know that the Sentinel had a human inside, and that the attackers had to leave the country or stand trial. Storm asks Tony Stark if he protected the US President in a similar manner while in Latveria, would he expect the same treatment? Iron Man relents and removes his masks asking that they be civilized. Storm clouds move in overhead as Ororo tells him that Bill Foster’s family would question his civility. As lightning crackles down, Storm demands that Iron Man leave the Wakandan property.
	As rain continues to splatter the ground, Iron Man leaves and tells the soldiers around him to capture the Dora Milaje, but not to use leathal force. As the soldier says they’ll do their best, Iron Man snaps and tells him that he’ll do exactly as he says. One of the soldiers then wonders what happens if the Black Panther shows up. As the rain pours down, Iron Man tells them that they’ll never know, he’s too good.
	Back inside one of the Wakandan guards tells Ororo that she is indeed very formidable. Ororo smiles and jokes that that was nothing, try facing a hive of Brood. As she moves back into the communication room, S’yan appears on the screen and asks if there’s been any word from T’Challa. When she says no, he tells her that he has US Marines to deal with. He informs her that they’re practicing War Games in the neighboring country of Niganda and he wanted to let the king know. Storm takes this news hard as she contemplates what to do.
	Elsewhere Captain America and the Black Panther engage in battle. Captain American lands a solid punch to T’Challa’s face. The Black Panther retaliates with a swift kick, but is stopped. T’Challa uses this to launch himself over Steve and prepare to slam his feet into Steve’s charging form.
	Captain America smiles and flings his shield at T’Challa, knocking the Panther off his feet. Once again, as Steve approaches, T’Challa spins upward and knocks Captain America on the ground. Slamming his foot into the floor, he points his other clawed foot at Captain America’s face.
	Holding Steve’s shield, T’Challa warns that he could have crushed Captain America’s head. Steve Rogers smiles and says that in a real fight he doubts it. As T’Challa helps Cap back to his feet and warns that if he keeps pushing himself Cap’s wounds will never heal and he won’t be ready for the big fight. As the two men remove their masks Captain America asks if T’Challa is ready to meet the rest of the resistance. T’Challa hands Steve his shield back and says he is, but wants to do it his way.
	In Washington D. C. Everett Ross once again meets with the Secretary of State, this time wondering about the troops in Niganda. Ross asks why they’re doing an invasion with no public support. The Secretary defends his stance saying that was before they discovered that the Black Panther was building a superhero army. He tells Ross that the core members are the Black Panther, Storm, Dr. Doom, and Namor, the new Frightful Four. Ross can’t help but wonder if they’re really calling themselves that. The Secretary explains that T’Challa is recruiting super-powered Americans and setting up a training camp throughout Africa. Ross asks, since he’s the Wakandan expert, who wrote that information. The Secretary informs him that that is classified and that Wakanda will blow up long before his bad information.
	At the palace in Wakanda, S’yan meets with Brother Voodoo. Voodoo thanks S’yan for the hospitality, when S’yan asks if Voodoo thinks more Americans will take up T’Challa’s offer for refugees. Brother Voodoo tells him that he hopes the superhero civil war will be solved so it will become a non issue. He then moves on to another matter telling S’yan that he is still searching for the body stealer that was at T’Challa’s wedding. Brother Voodoo explained that while he can’t perceive the villain, he knows that shortly they will make a play for a powerful host and be caught.
	At the Anti-Registration’s headquarters, Tigra asks the Invisible Woman where she’s going. Susan Richards tells her it’s a mission for Captain America. She walks down a hall and into a room to meet someone, she’s surprised to see that it is in fact T’Challa. The two embrace and Sue asks that he is there to help. T’Challa lets her know that he is trying to help, and the two tell each other how good it is to see the other.
	T’Challa explains that he understands how difficult all of this is for her, leaving her husband and her children. He leans in close as she tells him not to get her crying again. She suddenly backs away and asks if he’s sniffing her. T’Challa plays innocent, but she holds strong telling him that he was smelling her to see if she was lying. Before T’Challa can explain, she compares him the Matt Murdock, Daredevil, and says he’s checking for sweat or anxiety. The Black Panther steps back and explains that he was going to says she is an improbable recruit, but a good choice for a spy. Indignantly, Sue asks if she passed. T’Challa smiles and tells her that she does.
	Storm stands on the roof of the Wakandan Embassy as W’Kabi approaches. He asks where she’s going and she tells him flatly that there is too much waiting. W’Kabi asks her to take one of the Dora Milaje with her, but she refuses saying that they are now targets and she doesn’t need babysitters. Not far away, a SHIELD sniper watches her through the sight on a rifle. A voice tells him to hold his fire, that she may lead them to T’Challa. As Storm flies off above New York City, she tells herself that she doesn’t need to be here. She could be in paradise with her husband. She could be living a life she only dreamed of as a child.
	Back with the Anti-Registration heroes, the Falcon meets with T’Challa and proclaims that with him on their side Tony Stark and Reed Richards should just give up now. The Black Panther asks how his new wings are holding up, to which Falcon takes to the air. T’Challa explains he’s been thinking about some upgrades. The Falcon tells him not to worry about and wonders if they can actually crack Number 42. T’Challa watches as the Falcon flies and tells him he has his ways.
	On the ocean, off the cost of Africa the US Navy watches the land carefully. One of the sailors asks if they’re really going to send them in after the last time they tried. One of the officers merely replies, “Ours is not to reason why.” He continues thinking that he will follow orders no matter how stupid the command may be. He wonders if this is all just about saving pride from the last conflict or to use these young men as bait in the war between heroes. He wishes the government would just bomb them and get it over with. He then wonders when the Wakandans are going to make their move against them.
	In Wakanda, the council leaders discuss the problems presenting themselves. One leader asks why they’re allowing the US Navy to get so close when they could easily destroy them. Another wonders why they’re giving them the benefit of the doubt. S’yan states because war will not be declared with T’Challa saying so. Another states that T’Challa has abandoned them, again and they need to make decisions themselves. The room erupts in varying opinions. S’yan stops them all saying that they sound like the governments they make fun of.
	At the Anti-Registration headquarters, Tigra enters the room T’Challa has been checking people out in. She says hello and introduces herself, but T’Challa just stares at her with an icy gaze. When he still doesn’t say anything she decides to leave, with him watching her every move.
	In New Jersey, Storm makes it to her grandparents’ house. Storm explains that once she realized she didn’t need to think everything through on her own, she would stop by. Her grandmother tells her that she’s family and is always welcome. Storm has to apologize for the helicopters circling outside, to which her grandfather merely brags that their granddaughter is an African queen.
	Ororo explains her situation, telling them that she feels that fighting registration is right, but she thinks she influenced T’Challa into doing something he shouldn’t have. Her grandmother tells her flat out that the Black Panther has always done what he wants and will continue to do so. Storm worries that she can’t make a decision for herself, she has to decide from a Wakandan perspective. Her grandfather tries to tell her that she needs to think globally, and have a strong moral compass. Her grandmother tells her that when Ororo gets pregnant, she can take time off, but until then she needs to keep kicking butt. Ororo agrees and hugs her grandparents.
	At the headquarters of the Anti-Registration heroes, Pulsar walks in to find T’Challa. He turns to her and smiles, calling her his secret weapon. Monica tells him how much she’s thought of him, and how she could really learn a lot from him. The Black Panther thanks her for coming to the wedding, and she admits that it was difficult. The two smile at one another and then agree to get started.
At the Baxter building, scientists overlook the prone form of the clone of Thor. Reed Richards, believes that they won’t have to use him again, but he’s ready to go. One of the scientists wonders how exactly Reed was able to clone a myth. From the table, the clone of Thor screams that he is no myth as Reed merely smiles.
Outside Storm arrives, and SHIELD believes the Baxter building may just be a target. When she lands she approaches guards asking to speak with Reed Richards. One steps forward and informs her that she should have called ahead. No one sees Richards, especially a mutant brandishing her unregistered powers. Storm gets angry as lightning begins to emanate from her as Reed appears on a view screen.
	He grants her access and she quickly moves past the guards and up into Richards’s office. As he wonders why she’s here, she tells him that she wants to talk about registration.

Thunder and Lightning: War Crimes- Part Three
At the secret Headquarters of the Anti-Registration group, the Black Panther advices Pulsar. She stands glowing, as starts to shrink smaller and smaller. As Monica begins to look around the small card she just shrunk into, T’Challa explains that it is a Kimoyo card. He tells her that he will guide her through the modifications. This is how they’re going to open the gates to 42. As Pulsar starts to charge up, T’Challa explains that while he doesn’t have his tools, her powers are perfect for what he needs.
	At the Baxter building, Storm meets with Mr. Fantastic. Reed Richards explains that after listening to all of T’Challa’s public statements, the Black Panther has not said that registration is wrong. Storm merely tells him that it would be inappropriate for a head of state to comment on another country’s policy. As Storm and Reed begin to get into an argument over free health care and if that is a ground for testing for meta-human abilities, it quickly turns back to the war at hand and the death of Bill Foster aka Goliath. Mr. Fantastic asks if one mistake should stop them from doing the right thing, but Storm tells him no. It should make him question if it’s right.
	Reed and Storm continue discussing. Reed eventually states that T’Challa has made it clear he doesn’t agree with the way the US is handing the Registration Act, he notes that T’Challa hasn’t directly objected to the idea itself. He wonders how many super powered Wakandans there are, or perhaps if there is a Wakandan army of mutants. Storm merely laughs at this and claims that Reed is rationalizing things to meet his own ends.
	On Rykers Island, Captain America’s underground army converges and moves into the fray. At the Wakandan Embassy, a warning is given to the employees. They are told that there is a crisis and that they should evacuate. Electronic files are deleted and hard copies are shredded as the embassy employees are moved to a plane. SHIELD agents watch from above wondering what exactly is going on. Suddenly, Captain America’s army opens up from Cloak’s teleport and flies down from the sky.
	Storm notices that the staff is still leaving, and T’Challa asks her to assist them as he joins the fight. On the ground the battle between the Pro and Anti side has already begun. As heroes fight heroes, the Black Panther calls to assist Pulsar, telling her how to take down Bishop.
Luke Cage takes out Doc Samson with a little help from T’Challa as well. Above, the Falcon and Nighthawk fight in the skies when suddenly a whirlwind catches Nighthawk off guard. As Storm flies near, the Falcon thanks her for her teamwork.
She flies away seeing a SHIELD helicopter threaten the Wakandan plane. Storm quickly wonders if she should help the heroes in the fight for registration or protect the embassy employees. She decides there is no choice and flies toward the Wakandan plane.
Back in the battle, it continues to rage on. Everyone on both sides pause as the clone of Thor touches down. The Invisible Woman states that he’s not supposed to be as dangerous now, but no one really wants to take the chance. The Black Panther tries to warn Pulsar, but Iron Man comes up behind her and takes her out of the fight.
The Thor clone glares at the heroes and tells them that he will be no more merciful now than he was in the previous battle. He states that he is Asgardian and therefore above human law. Mr. Fantastic reassures She-Hulk that he’s pretty sure the Thor clone is just psyching them out. Eyes turn to the sky as it turns black and lightning crackles overhead. Above the Wakanda embassy, Storm looks down and challenges the clone, asking to see who truly is divine.
Meanwhile SHIELD continues to threaten the Wakandan plane as W’Kabi looks out from the door. Machine guns on the roof are activated and trained at the SHIELD jet. The SHIELD agents hold off as the Wakandan plane flies away.
On the ground Thor begins the battle, flinging Mjolner. Storm dodges, but the hammer tears through the Wakandan Embassy. As the hammer returns to Thor, Storm jokes that he’ll need to pay for that. The clone rises into the air, growling that the fight is not joking matter.
He smashes down destroying what is left of the embassy in a blast of lightning. The heroes watch and Iron Man wonders if that could be considered an act of war, T’Challa reassures him that it can be. Storm once more rises into the air, the wind whipping and swirling around her. Thor finds this amusing since he is master of the wind and storm. A tornado forms and rips the cars and trucks from the street. Rain pelts the clone of Thor as he hammers down on the cars. Suddenly a tanker bursts into flame and flies at the clone.
It explodes, and much to Storm’s dismay, he rises out of the wreckage. Shouting insults, and burning from the fire, Thor stalks toward her asking if she thought that would harm him. Storm prepares himself and tells him that was just a warm-up as lightning crashes down on him from all sides.
 Taken aback by the ferocity of the attack, Thor once again states that he is Lord of Lightning. Storm tells him that’s a lie. That he can’t control the weather at all, he’s just a toy with a gun, and she challenges him to try his best. The clone charges Mjolnir and blasts.
As the lightning is about to strike Storm, a force field appears protecting here. Shocked, Thor wonders what has happened. From the smoke, the Invisible Woman appears. She tells the clone that her husband made him and she’s here to stop him. Thor slams the hammer into another building sending it crashing down. Strom cries out, but the debris buries Susan Richards.
 Beneath the stone, she tells Storm that she’s fine, but will need to dig her way out. Thor charges after Storm. To herself, Ororo makes sure she remembers that this is not the real Thor. She concentrates hard as the murderous clone flies ever closer.
Suddenly the clone freezes up and crashes to the ground. Storm assists Sue out of the rubble explaining that she sent an electromagnetic pulse to the clone’s brain. As the two think it’s safe they see the clone rising once again. As he crawls to his feet Storm and the Invisible Woman are joined by Hercules. He tells them that he will handle the god of thunder.
The two woman watch as the two myths go head to head. The cringe and make side comments as they beat one another. Finally Sue tells Storm that she needs to go find Reed. As Susan leaves, Storm agrees that she needs to find her husband too, but not before seeing a fantastic finish.
Later, a news reporter explains what happened. The battle is over and the clean-up crew has emerged. Storm looks at the destruction and wonders if it was all worth it. The Black Panther finds her and tells her that Captain American quit. The battle ended because he surrendered. Storm is shocked. In the rubble and the destruction, T’Challa tells her that they’re on their own now.

Two Plus Two Part One: Home Invasion
Several weeks ago in the Negative Zone, a crowd of natives gather together in their hive and agree that the invaders must be stopped. They realize the aliens are there to stay, and therefore their hives must be protected. A their leader speaks, the crowd realizes the aliens have arrived. From above, a large object moves swiftly down on top of them.
	The soldiers of the new prison located in the Negative Zone stomp through the miniscule colony without even realizing. They slaughter hundreds and are oblivious. They only want the 42 completed on time and hope that they don’t have any monsters attacking them.
	Now at the demolished Wakandan Embassy in New York City, Storm and the Black Panther wonder what they should do now. Storm wonders if they should return to Wakanda, but T’Challa says that they still have to rally support for the International Community. As Storm wonders how they’re going to get around, and a crowd watches in awe, the Black Panther raises a Wakandan aircraft from the water. T’Challa merely explains that he likes to be prepared. The two board and fly off.
On the SHIELD Helicarrier, Maria Hill watches the craft fly off and asks why she can’t simply blow it out of the sky. Tony Stark, donning his Iron Man armor explains that the US just destroyed his embassy, if the king of Wakanda needs to invade their airspace right now, then it’s okay. Maria asks if he’s going soft. Tony explains that T’Challa’s back is against the wall, but to get what they want out of him, they’ll have to leave him with enough dignity. Maria snaps that the Black Panther has twenty-four hours and then his ship better be gone. Iron Man merely replies that shouldn’t she have known about that ship and how many more T’Challa has around the country. This leaves former Director Hill slightly speechless.
Back in the Negative Zone, weeks ago.:
 Two alien craters battle in front of a crowd of millions. They fight and hack. One stabs the other with forked arrow. As he moves in for the kill, the wounded creature pulls the arrow out and stabs its owner with it. He raises his weapons and calls to the crowd to behold their champion.
The present, in New York City.:
 W’Kabi enters T’Challa’s chambers and informs him that the conference call is ready. T’Challa moves to the video screen, where S’yan and the Wakandan council members watch, wondering when their king will return to the homeland. T’Challa explains that he needs to resolve things here and gain allies within the United Nations. S’yan becomes angry, wondering why they’re so desperate to depend on the UN. S’yan continues stating it was T’Challa’s violation of a centuries old policy. He contines with saying that if the King of Wakanda needs to remain in the United States to dig himself out of a hole he created, they’ll just try not to be invaded in the meantime.
T’Challa merely glares with his steely gaze. He tells S’yan that if he has a problem with following the king’s orders, he will send Storm in to take his place. Terror grips S’yan and he promptly apologizes. T’Challa moves on and tells S’yan that he is sending him blueprints for a new Wakandan Embassy, to also update and upgrade their previous capabilities. S’yan acknowledges that it will take some time to build and wonders where the support staff will be based until then. T’Challa informs him that he will have an answer to that shortly.
At the United Nations Storm speaks with delegates from a fellow African nation. They, however, feel that her asking for their assistance in regards to the threat of the United States super-force is somewhat misplaced. They explain that it wasn’t that long ago that they sent an agent of theirs, the Arabian Knight, against Storm and the Black Panther. Storm thinks and says she can hardly remember. The delegates become angry and rush off as Storm pleads with them to reconsider.
Storm gets angry and wonders how she is supposed to remember a loser who interrupted her husband’s proposal. T’Challa beeps in on the video-screen asking how it went. Storm enlightens him, and he explains that it never would have worked anyway, that they were just looking for desperate enough allies to build a superhero army for them. Storm lists off how the other meetings went, none with any real success. T’Challa tells her to come back, that they have dinner tonight.
At the Tavern on the Green in New York, Reed Richards bought out the restaurant so that he, Sue Richards, Ororo, and T’Challa can talk in peace and privacy. Reed then explains that he and Sue have a proposition for the couple. He informs them that they’re going to take some time off to work on their relationship. Storm jokes that Sue must have planted a mind-control device in his head. Reed finishes by say that while the embassy is rebuilding, T’Challa can relocate to the Baxter building.
T’Challa wonders what will happen to Ben and Johnny. Reed explains that he hopes Storm and T’Challa would help guide the group while their gone. Susan agrees that they’re perfect because they’re a family. T’Challa wonders if Ben and Johnny are actually alright with this. Reed asks if they are, will Storm and the Black Panther join? The couple agrees and the four of them toast.
At the Baxter Building, Reed and Sue break the news to the other members of the Fantastic Four. Sue laughs that they’re calling this their second honeymoon and they never had a first. Ben promises to keep a watch on the place while they’re gone. Reed then informs them that they found replacements for themselves. As Ben explains that he and Johnny can take care of themselves, Johnny makes a joke that Ben is almost house broken. That sends the two into a fight that Sue has to separate.
As Reed and Sue move through the building, Johnny and Ben wonder who the replacements could be. Reed then introduces them to the king and queen of Wakanda. Ben wonders about this since the Black Panther and Mr. Fantastic were just on opposite sides of a war. T’Challa merely states that Reed and Sue should be inspirations to everyone. Ben then informs Reed that this is a classy move.
On the talk show Spin Zone, the host wonders if Reed Richards, one of the architects for the Super-Human Registration Act has gone soft. He explains that the Richards’ are opening their homes to a foreign potentate and a mutant terrorist. The host explains that Richards shouldn’t give in to the liberal guilt, and while they’re at it, do away with the United Nations too.
Back at the Baxter Building, Wakandan Embassy workers are already making their home within the Fantastic Four’s headquarters. The Thing and Human Torch wonder exactly what they got themselves into when their pagers go off. They meet the Black Panther and Storm, who ask what Reed’s fastest Spacecraft is.
In Wakanda, Brother Voodoo sits with a Wakandan elder and discusses the villain who was switching bodies at T’Challa and Ororo’s weddings. He explains that it is a soul eater, a cannibal who takes possession of the host. The elder warns that this could be very damaging. Brother Voodoo wonders how to find the creature. The Elder asks him that when he finds the Cannibal, is he ready to kill without hesitation and take an innocent life?
At the palace in Wakanda, T’Challa’s sister and her associates watch the American navy off their boarders. The two men agree that the Americans will attack soon because the king is gone. One then wonders what T’Challa’s sister is going to do about it since she is next in line. She insists that T’Challa can still handle things, but the man pressures her. He reassures her that while he’s in America, she’s there and has all the brains and power she needs.
In Washington D. C., Everett Ross meets with the Secretary of State. The Secretary expresses his displeasure with Reed Richards for allowing T’Challa to move into the Baxter Building. He then wonders if Richards is trying to make a political move. Ross tries to calm him and explains that they could just be friends. The Secretary continues and says if Richards wants to go down with T’Challa, so be it. He insists that they need to make an example out of someone and if Wakanda is volunteering, then so be it.
 In the Fantastic Four’s jet, Storm wonders if things will be alright while they’re gone. T’Challa reassures her that they won’t be gone long. The jet flies out over New York toward space.

Two Plus Two: Part Two
At the Baxter Building, the Fantastic Four along with Gravity and Michael Collins reappear. As the groups disperses after their mission, T’Challa attempts to go check on the status of the transfer of the Wakandan Embassy to the Baxter Building, but Storm suggests they take a “nap” instead.
	Later, just as the Thing is falling asleep in his bed, there’s a loud crash. He jumps up and heads out to find Johnny just as confused as he is. The two of them head to Storm and T’Challa’s room, where they find no answers either. Storm already left to check on the children. As she enters their room, she narrowly avoids a blast. She retaliates and fries HERBIE with a blast of lightning. The children run to her apologizing for HERBIE’s reaction, but they explain he was protecting them from the bug.
	The male members of the Fantastic Four attempt to figure out just what they’re dealing with. The Black Panther discovers that judging by how it entered, it came from the Negative Zone. What disturbs him is that the creature is able to overcome each security device the Baxter Building has. The Thing bets that it’s clobberin’ time.
	Elsewhere in the building a Wakandan worker runs from the giant bug-like intruder. The Dora Milaje step in to protect her, but find them selves out matched as their weapons break on his hide. Just as he’s about to bite into one of them, the Thing grabs it and points his fist into the bug’s face. He continues to beat it down.
	Finally the bug uses it’s extra legs and strength to trip Ben just as Johnny joins the battle. He blasts the bug, but it easily swallows his fireball. He spits it back out in a cloud of black smoke extinguishing the Human Torch and sending him flying down the hall. The bug lifts it’s leg to crush Johnny, but as its foot smashes down, Johnny is saved.
	Storm asks if he’s alright and then checks on Ben as well. As the Thing wonders where the Black Panther is, Storm explains he’s looking through Reed Richard’s weapons. Storm blasts the bug with a huge crackle of lightning, allowing the Thing to charge in once again.
	T’Challa and HERBIE search through Mr. Fantastic’s many devices. As HERBIES explains what a device does, the Black Panther gets annoyed at Reed’s disorganization. HERBIE then alerts the Wakandan king that there is an incoming call from SHIELD. T’Challa tries to ignore it, but HERBIE informs him that they insist.
Sub-Director Maria Hill appears before him as a holographic image projected from HERBIE. She informs him that the 42 was invaded and it appears that the Baxter Building was as well. T’Challa explains that he has things under control.
	Hill tries to insist on sending help, but T’Challa denies her. She then offers heroes instead of SHIELD agents, assuming the Black Panther’s renegade involvement in the Civil War is his reasoning for not wanting assistance. The Black Panther denies her again and then hangs up on her. T’Challa gets annoyed that they’re offering to send the Fantastic Four help, when the 42, their own prison is being overrun by hostiles. HERBIE then informs the Black Panther that the Royal Palace of Wakanda is calling. As he dons his mask, he yells for them to call back.
	In Wakanda, Shuri, T’Challa’s sister, speaks to two of her friends. They watch as the American Navy sits just miles offshore and wonder why their King doesn’t strike. Shuri assures them that he doesn’t want to start a war.
 T’Challa’s cousin believes their king has gotten soft from his time in the west. When G’Mal warns him not to speak like that, he tells them about T’Challa’s reprimand to the council. Shuri wonders how G’Mal knew about that, but he merely says that the walls have ears and whisper. When T’Challa’s cousin warns him that perhaps they’re listening now, G’Mal reminds them that it isn’t saving him that matters, it’s the nation. He then tells Shuri that she needs to step up to the throne while her brother is on the other side of the world. When Shuri refuses once again, G’Mal offers another idea. He thinks that they should sail out at night and check out the American warships.
	In the Baxter Building the fight continues. The Wakandans worry about the antique the bug is eating, while the Fantastic Four see the Black Panther arrive with a cart full of weapons. He pulls out a massive gun and yells for them all to stand clear. The blast creates a large explosion, but the bug is unphased. T’Challa grabs another weapon, one that shoots foam that hardens like steel. It traps the bug, but within seconds, it frees itself. The Fantastic Four look on, wondering what the next step should be.
	They notice that the bug is eyeing something outside. They realize that he’s going for the wooden water tower to satiate his hunger. The Human Torch asks what else the Black Panther’s got up his sleeve. T’Challa pulls out King Solomon’s Frogs once again. Despite T’Challa’s misgivings against magic and the Things protestations, they agree to get close enough to try and teleport the bug somewhere.
	As a team, the four attack. The Wakandas watch and pray to the Panther God to watch over their king. The four wait for the frogs’ power to kick in, when suddenly the Fantastic Four and the bug are all teleported out of the Baxter Building. W’Kabi and the other Wakandas can only look on in disbelief. The fight continues even as they traverse the time/space continuum.
	They reappear in midair, and immediately begin falling to the ground far below. Storm grabs the Black Panther, the Human Torch takes to the air, leaving the Thing to plummet with the bug. As Storm reaches the ground she apologizes, explaining she thought they had a plan for things like that. The Thing explains that they did; it was Sue. They begin to look for the bug, but suddenly realize the more important question is where are they? The Black Panther begins to come up with a plan, but Johnny realizes where they are as he sees a large crowd of Skrulls.
	Just as the thought of fighting not only the bug and the Skrulls sinks in, the Thing points to the sky where zombie versions of heroes they know exit a portal, all wearing the armor of Galactus.

Hell of a Mess: Part 1 of 3
As the Fantastic Four stand surrounded by a civilization of Skrulls, the Things looks to the sky and wonders what the dark specs coming their way are. Storm sees them as well, and agrees they don’t look good. From the sky fall the Power Cosmic wielding zombie heroes.
	As the Fantastic Four are distracted by this new threat, the Bug that they inadvertently brought to this world attacks the Thing. The Skrulls watch and debate the meaning of all this. Some believe the Fantastic Four are but the first wave. Storm and the Human Torch attack the bug and agree that things are getting grim. As Ben pulls himself out of the hole the bug smashed him into, the Black Panther informs him they’ll try to use King Solomon’s Frogs to escape once again. Ben is something more than skeptical.
	At the Skrulls Military Command Post, their general surveys what he believes to be an invasion. An underling informs him that the energy signature looks to be that of Galactus. As they match the signature to the visual, they realize that these creature bare a striking resemblance to some of Earth’s heroes, but appear to be decayed and dismembered. The general initiates the highest threat level and begins the Galactus Protocols.
	From above the zombie heroes fly down toward the base thinking about how their feast of Skrulls will soon taste. As the begin to bicker, Spider-Man is the first to realize the force field the Skrulls put up as he slams into it. The other dead heroes immediately find that hilarious.
	The Fantastic Four continue their battle against the bug. The Thing slams a large boulder into it and knocks it down. The Black Panther tries to get them all together to teleport away, when they notice a fleet of space crafts hovering above their heads. They quickly realize there’s something else going on.
	The zombie Wolverine digs his claws into the force field wondering if the Skrulls don’t realize they have the power of Galactus after they ate him. Zombie Luke Cage reaches into the tear and uses his enhanced strength to pull a hole apart in the field. From inside the command outpost, the general demands they take action and fire the missiles. The zombies take care of the missiles with a group effort of coordinated blasts. As they move through the smoke the zombie Iron Man explains that it has been a long time between feedings. If they don’t eat soon, they may not be strong enough to maintain a large attack.
	The Fantastic Four are forced to continue their attack on the bug as well as fighting the hostile Skrulls that have begun attacking them and the space crafts. When the Skrulls begin to flee and leave the Fantastic Four alone, they are able to concentrate their efforts on the bug. Suddenly the zombie Iron Man lunges from behind the bug and bites into it surprising all of them. The Fantastic Four look on shocked and disgusted as the zombie Luke Cage joins in. The Black Panther realizes something is very wrong and teleports them away just as the zombie Hulk smashes down on the spot they were just occupying.
	The four reappear below ground in a cavern, once again, high in the air. As Johnny flames on, Storm catches T’Challa and attempts to use the wind to catch Ben, but isn’t fast enough. As Ben recovers from the fall, the Black Panther asks the Human Torch to illuminate the cavern so they can see what they’re dealing with. Meanwhile Ben starts to think that the frogs keep purposely dropping him.
	The Black Panther ponders that thought and wonders if the frogs are merely pretending not to be sentient. Ben agrees that the frogs are playing them. The Human Torch flies and explores the cavern looking for Skrulls or zombies. Suddenly he slams into an unseen force. He bounces back painfully and loses his flame. When he looks up, he’s astonished to see Lyja standing before him.
	Ben is confused as he sees what appears to be Mr. Fantasic wrapping himself around Black Panther. A hand similar to his own comes out of nowhere and clobbers him. As Storm flies above, flames begin wrapping around her. She wonders if the Human Torch is joking and gets annoyed. She blasts him with lightning and discovers her fallen attacker is a Skrull.
	The one wrapped around the Black Panther warns her to surrender or he will suffocate T’Challa. From inside the cocoon formed by the stretchable Skrull, the Black Panther pulls an energy blade and stabs the Mr. Fantastic impersonator. Instantly the Skrull’s extended limbs slacken. The Black Panther warns him if he tries to attack again, he’ll use the blade to deaden every nerve in his body. The Thing stands over his fallen counterpart and wonders what is going on.
	The Skrull scientist who created them approaches the Fantastic Four with Lyja at his side, holding the Human Torch in an invisible force field. He explains that they could not replicate the Super Skrull in one person, but they could split the powers into four people. He then warns that with the Invisible Woman’s power Lyja could kill them all easily. When asked what he wants, the scientist responded that the Fantastic Four invaded them. Black Panther tries to explain that they have no connection to the zombies that are attacking. Storm admits that sounds unlikely, but they would like to help. The scientist asks if they can stop them. Black Panther tells him that they will try.
	Back outside the zombies continue feasting on the Skrulls. The zombies agree that Skrull meat isn’t too bad. The Giant Man zombie empties a warship into his mouth and laughs that it’s like a box of popcorn. Hulk screams that he’s still hungry. Luke Cage tries to explain that that’s their curse. They’re zombies, no matter how much they eat, they’ll still be hungry. The Hulk glares at him.
	Using his massive strength the zombie Hulk slaps the zombie Luke Cage through a building. He yells not to talk to him like he is stupid. The other zombies look on and then Iron Man offers him a Skrull leg. The Hulk grabs it angrily and says they don’t get it, that Banner would be able to explain it.
	Back in the Skrull tower, the General is furious that the zombies have eaten a city’s worth of people. He demands that they need to drop the bomb and blow them off the planet. The scientist and the two sets of Fantastic Fours enter asking for another solution. The General is infuriated that the Fantastic Four are there. TC’Challa tries to reason with the General, explaining that the zombies are a threat to everyone. The General threatens them, but T’Challa shrugs it off telling him that they’ve defeated them at every turn. They shouldn’t waste more time while the real enemy is still out there.
	Outside the armada that the General sent against the zombies prepares to launch their bombs. Suddenly the zombie Giant Man appears and breaks open the ships gleefully eating the soldiers inside. The Hulk springs into one of the ships feasting on the Skrulls inside. Iron Man, Wolverine, and Spider-Man find another ship to bring down.
	Inside the tower, the General watches stunned. As T’Challa asks if the General is ready to talk, Johnny and Ben ask the Skrull with the powers of the Invisible Woman if her name is Lyja. He explains that they met when she was a spy on earth. She snaps on him saying she has never been to earth, and all Skrulls may look the same to him, humans do to her. As he tries to explain she get angry and brushes him off. As she walks away, Ben and Johnny realize that they’re in an alternate universe.
	As the Thing and Human Torch move to tell the others, Storm wonders about contacting Earth. They need to find out what has happened so they can figure out what the zombies are. Suddenly there’s a loud crash and they see that Luke Cage has crashed through the wall. He looks at them all and says he knew he smelled a hot meal.

From Bad to Worse: Part 2 of 3
The dead face of the zombie Luke Cage looks on at his potential meal with excitement as the Skrull army begins firing on him. The Skrull Commander turned on the Fantastic Four and blamed them for the zombies attack, claiming it was all a ruse. T’Challa attempts to reason with him and asks that they join forces or surely they will all die.
	The Thing takes the Skrull bullets for T’Challa as the Human Torch blazes to get the Skrulls to back up. They watch as the zombie Luke Cage devours more Skrulls and they realize that they must do something to stop him. The Black Panther wonders about the zombie’s uniform since it appears eerily similar to Galactus’s.
	The Fantastic Four move into action to distract the monster. The Thing picks up a boulder and shatters it allowing Storm to blow the pieces with a hurricane force at the monster, halting his feast.
	Luke Cage stops to tell the Fantastic Four how annoying their attack was, but the Black Panther asks what happened to Luke, still believing this is the Luke Cage from their universe. The zombie tells T’Challa they were wondering where he was, but then looks at Johnny and Ben and asks if they were cured. As the Human Torch begins to ask what he’s talking about T’Challa quiets him and lies that he found a cure. The zombie waves the dead Skrull arm at them tells the Black Panther not to hustle a hustler, if the other great minds of their world couldn’t find a cure, how could he?
	Luke then begins to wonder about their lack of knowledge regarding what’s happening on Earth and why they’re so far away from Earth. T’Challa leans in to Storm and states that she always thought he was dumb. Storm insists this is no time for jokes, but perhaps this version of Luke Cage read a few books. The Skrull Fantastic Four stand by and watch, silenced by the scientist. Luke then wonders how the Fantastic Four managed to travel through the dimensions and wants to know where their device is. The Black Panther holds back King Soloman’s Frog, which seems to have a mischievous grin on it’s face, and prepares for an all out attack. The two sets of Fantastic Fours, human and Skrull, charge at the zombie.
	Outside the zombies continue to fight the Skrull army. Wolverine makes quick work of the soldiers on the ground. Meanwhile Spider-Man hunts down a female Skrull and her child in their home. He tears up the bed they were hiding under and proceeds to eat both of them.
	The Skrulls elect one of the privates to go try and talk with the zombie Wolverine. The Skrull is shoved forward and attempts diplomacy, but Wolverine quickly incinerates the Skrull with a blast of his cosmic power. The other two Skrulls who sent the private forward try to make a run for it, but find themselves up against the zombie Iron Man.
	Iron Man and Spider-Man then join the Hulk in pursuit of more Skrulls. These Skrulls find themselves confronting the Bug from the Negative Zone, who also seems to be making his way through the Skrull army. The three zombies get angry that the bug is attacking their food. The bug smashes the Hulk into the other two and all three go flying into the city.
	Civilian Skrulls flee as the three zombies crawl out of the rubble. They agree that the bug needs to be taught a lesson, but they decide that they’ll think more clearly after a bite to eat.
	The two Fantastic Fours quickly head out of the command center toward the scientist’s ship. The zombie Luke Cage busts through the ground. The Black Panther states that he’s twenty seconds earlier than he had thought. As the get closer to the ship, the Skrull scientist orders his Fantastic Four to hold the zombie back. Both Storm and the Human Torch protest.
	The scientist explains that they are his soldiers and he will need the real Fantastic Four’s help if the planet is to survive. Lyja turns to the Human Torch and holds him back as he protests her going. She tells him that she is not the girl he knows and this is her duty. The real Fantastic Four head into the ship, Storm gently agreeing with Lyja. The Skrull Fantastic Four face off against the zombie of Luke Cage as he nods toward the leaving ship stating that he’d see them soon.
	Aboard the ship, Storm and the Thing watch on as the Skrull Fantastic Four are slaughtered. Storm states that if they do not act quickly, the whole universe may share their fate. The Black Panther asks the scientist if he has any devices to observe Earth. The scientist admits that most of their resources have been destroyed, but they can try. Storm and the Black Panther hold each other closely and admit that it is a distinct possibility everyone they love could be gone.
	When the screen lights up it is the Black Panther who answers. The two T’Challas look at each other and pull off their masks. Ben and Johnny confirm that this is indeed an alternate universe. Behind the Black Panther on the view-screen, Lisa Hendricks appears and is surprised to learn that this new T’Challa is married to Storm. Ororo agrees that it is strange seeing all this, but they have bigger problems.
	Back on the Skrull planet the Zombies continue to eat the remains strewn about as Luke Cage joins them. Iron Man reprimands Cage saying that they agreed on no solo trips so that everyone gets a fair share. Cage snaps back saying he doesn’t give a damn. The two begin blasting each other with their cosmic powers, Cage laughing stating that Iron Man doesn’t have anything extra unlike the Hulk. He’s just half a brat in a tin can. Cage punches Iron Man and he is flung up into the air and away from them all.
	On the ship, the Fantastic Four agree that this is all pretty bad, despite it not being their universe. The Thing suggests they rub the frogs again and hope they get them out of there. The Black Panther explains that it seems with each use the frogs seem to be putting the group in greater peril with each use. T’Challa explains that one of the frogs controls time and the other controls space, that together they can transport you or bring someone to you. Storm beings to wonder if the frogs themselves aren’t being controlled, but are in fact alive.
	The four quickly realize that they are at gun point surrounded by the Skrulls. The Thing states that they already did all this, the Skrulls explain that they need the frogs to escape their doomed world. Storm gets angry and turns off the power in the ship. The ship plummets and crashes back on the doomed world.
	Outside, the zombie Giant Man tells Luke Cage that Iron Man is going to kick his butt. Cage begins to tell them that they ate everyone on the planet, and then explains that the Fantastic Four they saw earlier were from another dimension. All they have to do is get them to say how they traveled and they can have an unlimited buffet.
	Beneath the wreckage of the ship, Johnny lights his arm so that they can see. The Black Panther thanks Storm’s winds for giving them as gentle a landing as they could hope for. They hear a strange noise and are surprised to see the Skrull Fantastic Four digging them out. Unfortunately for them, the Skrulls are now Zombies too.

Absolutely No Way to Win: Part 3 of 3
The now zombie Skrull Fantastic Four look at glare down at the real deal hungrily. The Black Panther jumps into battle, explaining that they’re already dead, so strike to kill. The Human Torch begins to protest at T’Challa’s insistence that they hit the Invisible Woman first. Johnny says that she has the powers of his sister and looks just like someone he used to date.
 With that, Lyja traps him in a force field cutting off his air.
	She explains that she’ll let him go before he dies, live flesh tastes better. She’s struck down by one of the Black Panther’s energy blades, and Storm rushes air into the Human Torch. The Skrull Mr. Fantastic grabs Johnny before he has any chance to escape.
	The Things slams a slab of concrete down on the Skrull Mr. Fantastic’s head, stopping him. The Skrull Human Torch tries to fry T’Challa, but has little luck as the Black Panther jumps and dodges his every attack. Storm blasts the zombie with a her winds extinguishing his flames and impaling him on a jagged rock.
	The zombie Human Torch only gets angry, reigniting and threatening Storm. He begins to burn through the spike, but Storm sends rains down on him, once again extinguishing him. The Black Panther congratulates his wife and states that her rains also allow him to see Lyja’s invisible sneak attack. He flings another energy blade at her. Black Panther watches knowing that the dagger scrambles her thoughts and sees how quickly she recovers. He wonders how they can recover from severe brain trauma.
	Suddenly the real Fantastic Four find the earth shaking beneath their feet. Outside the zombie Thing is moving the entire space ship, waiting for someone to attack them. He starts to smell something burning as the ship melts around him. The Human Torch superheated the ship covering the zombie. Storm quickly cooled him off using her winds, and froze the zombie Skrull in place.
	Lyja, gathering her thoughts from T’Challa’s attack, begins to crawl away. The Black Panther grabs a piece of wreckage and swiftly decapitates her, hoping she’ll die, if possible. Her still living head falls to the ground cursing him. She lands near the Human Torch and opens her mouth ready to bite down, hoping to even the score. The Black Panther sees this and screams for Johnny to fly. Without thinking he does so and is spared the zombie’s bite. The head of Lyja tries to convince the Human Torch that it’s the girl he knew.
	The Black Panther blasts the decapitated head with a Skrull energy gun. The blast obliterates Lyja’s head. T’Challa’s only happy the gun didn’t have safety locks. From behind him the Skrull Mr. Fantastic wraps around the Black Panther and pulls him toward his open maw.
	The Thing slams two large pieces of wreckage against the zombie’s head, stating that he didn’t want to touch it. The zombie squeezes through the crack, still holding on to T’Challa. The Human Torch blasts the Mr. Fantastic impersonator, but that still doesn’t stop him. The Black Panther can only wonder how to dismember an elastic zombie.
	Storm fries the dead monster, leaving him in a heap on the floor. The Human Torch wonders how she knew T’Challa was insulated. Storm smiles and says that they’ve played this game before.
Suddenly the Skrull scientist emerges with an energy blade and says that he must make a stand. As T’Challa tries to warn the scientist not to, the scientist shoves the blade through the zombies head. Unfortunately for him the Skrull Mr. Fantastic manages to bite down on his arm.
	The Black Panther orders the Human Torch to burn them before the scientist turns. Johnny states that it’s disgusting, but he’s on it. The two are engulfed in flames. The Skrull Human Torch, with a gaping hole in his chest approaches, saying that they will pay for him no longer having a stomach. From nowhere a blast shoots him down and disintegrates the monster.
	Luke Cage’s hand is still glowing with cosmic energy as he and the other zombies look hungrily at the Fantastic Four. Giant Man states that if they hand over the transdimensional device no one will get hurt. Johnny laughs and says that he really has no credibility for that statement. The zombie Spider-Man offers that they promise a quick and painless death instead of being eaten alive. The Hulk screams for him to be quiet, that he’s hungry.  Spider-Man grows annoyed with how far they’ve fallen, stating that they used to be heroes, but now are the worst of them all.
	Giant Man tries to reason that Reed Richards, the smartest of them all voluntarily turned zombie, so there has to be something to it. Iron Man agrees stating that they’ve wiped out menaces to the Earth: the Badoon, Shi’ar, and now the Skrulls. Spider-Man yells that they wiped out Earth first, though. Luke Cage grabs hold of the zombie Spider-Man and tells him to man up, they have to eat.
	Wolverine and the Hulk agree with Cage and move in to attack. The Fantastic Four huddle together around King Solomon’s Frogs as the Thing says that it’s time to take a trip. They disappear, leaving the zombies angry at Spider-Man for his whining. The four reappear outside the crash, not far from the zombie’s backsides. T’Challa suggests they move quietly, while Storm shifts the winds to cover their scent. Giant Man seems happy enough to eat the remaining Skrulls, but Luke insists that they need the device. Iron Man mocks him, starting another fight between the two.
	As the zombie Wolverine pokes around for live Skrulls, he’s approached by Thanos. Thanos ponders out loud if the zombies themselves are alive. As the group looks on surprised by his appearance, he introduces Death. He states that their appetites have attracted her attention. He states that his admiration for their nearly wiping out life outweighs his jealousy of their gift to her. The zombies agree that they hate cosmic stuff like this.
	Thanos states that as a reward, Death is prepared to offer them her kiss, an eternal void. The zombie Wolverine is surprised saying that though they’re undead doesn’t mean they want to die. Giant Man says that the cosmic cube could undo all of this. Spider-Man says that his guilt is unbearable and he’s ready for the end. He throws himself at their feet. Wolverine wonders why the pair aren’t killing him. Spider-Man looks up and says that it smells like Skrull meat. Thanos and Death transform into two scared Skrulls. They offer to breed to give them more food, but the group of zombies descends upon them.
	Outside the Fantastic Four continue to race as far away from the zombies as they can. Johnny begs to fly, but T’Challa tells him that Giant Man would be able to spot his flames and clearly the Human Torch needs some non-powers-based training. The Thing picks the Human Torch up and places him on his shoulder. The Things states that the Black Panther is pretty formidable. The Human Torch laughs and agrees, but says he can’t even keep up with Storm. She turns and tells that that this is no time for jokes.  The pair of original members of the Fantastic Four laugh and agree that there’s always time for jokes.
	The zombies finish off the Skrulls and wonder if they do need some kind of breeding program. Spider-Man wonders if they’ve totally lost touch with humanity. Iron Man states that he probably has, since they no have cosmic powers and have been devouring entire species. The Hulk rages and screams that he’s sick of talking and of aliens. He yells that he wants roughage. The zombie Wolverine looks at him and asks if he wants to eat a tree. The Hulk yells and states that he wants to eat like the man with the boomerang in his head. He says that if he could, he’d eat the whole thing.
	The zombies realize that he’s talking about Galactus. They agree that the Hulk may be on to something since they’ve not explored that aspect of their abilities. Together, they begin to devour the planet.
	Elsewhere, the Fantastic Four are thrown to the ground as the planet itself begins to shake. Storm realizes that the planet is under attack, the magnetic fields are shifting. She says that they’ll never find a ship off the planet in time, that there’s only one way. The Panther agrees the have to use the frogs. The frogs transport them, but the four quickly realize they were sent to the exact same spot. The planet continues to quake as the bug from the Negative Zone pounces down upon them from above.
	Just then the planet explodes, leaving the sated zombies floating through space. Luke Cage states that that is good eating.

Dead Or Alive – part 1
The Black Panther awakes looking around, his first action calling his wife’s name. But she isn’t there. Neither are their new teammates, the Thing and the Human Torch. He is all alone in the clouds, in front of him Pearly Gates. This is not a good sign, he states.
He passes the gates and walks along a golden road towards a futuristic city. Suddenly, he sees Storm flying past him. He calls after her and sees her land some distance ahead of him in a jungle. He tries to find her.
Wondering if the vegetation is even Earthly, the Panther suddenly has to fight as the vines come alive and try to drag the him down, but with his strength and claws he easily he frees himself. Again, he cries out Ororo’s name, this time in surprise.
He sees her in front of him, in a very luxurious setting and skimpily dressed. Next to her are Yukio, whom Storm strokes, and Wolverine. Also lying on the pillows are Colossus with Kitty Pryde and Gambit with Rogue. Not phased in the least, Ororo welcomes him. T’Challa takes off his mask as he asks what this about. They are X-Men, Storm explains. Did he think all those powers were just for beating up bad guys?
Why fight? Wolverine asks him. It’s a reaaal good time. Eating some grapes seductively, Yukio adds that Ororo’s told her so much about T’Challa she feels like they are already intimate. The Panther tells himself he must be hallucinating. Or maybe it’s dream come true, somebody suggests as a body presses itself to his back, that of the White Queen.
T’Challa believes he has now found his culprit and that she is manipulating his mind. Storm never trusted her and she was right. Storm tells him to relax. They are all family now.
With that, Emma kisses T’Challa passionately. He tries to break free, muttering that he is married. Emma kisses him again and this time his and her flesh begin to merge, creating a strange double being.
Suddenly, there is a loud roar from the sky. The Panther god looks down on them displeased. What is this madness? he declares. The X-Men immediately get into attack formation while T’Challa, still merged with Emma, protests that this is sacrilege. Emma tells him to relax.
Storm flies upwards to the Panther god. No disrespect but they’ve faced their fair share of gods and celestial beings, so before he starts judging.…
She has broken a sacred vow to him, he declares. The penalty is death! With that, he eats her. T’Challa can finally tear loose of Emma and shoves her away as he shouts his wife’s name.
Cyclops appears, protesting his treatment of Emma. T’Challa runs past him and shoves him away as well. Looking at Scott lying on the ground, Wolverine remarks “nice one.” He always wanted to do that. Too bad for the Panther, Cyclops is an X-Man and T’Challa is not. They always take care of their own. He unsheathes his claws and the other X-Men look at the Panther threateningly. They begin to attack. “This is insane!” the Panther shouts as he barely evades Colossus’ blows.
The Panther god reminds him that after he defeats those fools, he must still face his judgment.
T’Challa decides this isn’t real. He closes his eyes, trying to tune out his attackers… and succeeds. He awakes alone in a huge hall. So it wasn’t real. But what is?
Elsewhere, Storm finds herself tied up, a prisoner of the Psycho-Man, who wonders why she is so resistant to emotional suggestion. Perhaps her colleagues in the X-Men have placed some formidable safeguards against such action. Let’s take a peek inside, he suggests, apparently meaning it literally, as he has got a kind of saw in his hand. Frustrating isn’t it? he asks her. He can disable her mutant ability, but can’t convince her that the Panther is her enemy.
The next moment, a piece of the wall is tossed aside, as the Panther jumps in, announcing that he cannot rend what the Panther god has blessed. Now him, he can control, the Psycho-Man replies with an evil smirk.
Projecting doubt into his psyche is enough to undermine his fighting ability. Totally insecure, T’Challa curls up in a ball. The villain remarks that while he wallows, he will finish dissecting his wife.
But that moment, another Black Panther enters, ready to fight. Armed with a spear, he appears to be the former Panther T’Chaka. Isn’t he dead? Storm asks dumbfounded. No, T’Chaka replies and spears the Psycho-Man, he is.
While T’Chaka looks after his son, two more Panthers – one of them female – enter and help Ororo. Who is she? Storm asks the woman. She didn’t think all Panthers were male, did she? comes the reply. If there were female popes, they better believe a nation as progressive as Wakanda has…
Storm interrupts her. Panicked, she realizes she still can’t access her power. The dying Psycho-Man tells her that his final gift to her is mere humanity. Her gifts die with him.
No, Storm panics. The older Panther promises her they will reconnect her to her essence. Maybe Xavier or even Emma can help, Storm rambles. Even if they can’t, she can take Panther training, he suggests.  Only one Panther per generation, yet another Panther reminds him. Why? comes the question. Ororo shouts that they are crowding her.
T’Challa addresses his father. He doesn’t believe this either. She can fix this! Storm shouts and closes her eyes. She just needs to be left alone! Energy flares…
And Storm finds herself back to reality, a reality where all four of them are captured by the Psycho-Man and her energy outburst freed her as well as fried most of their host’s tech. The Thing commends her but notes that Johnny who’s unconscious got shocked pretty bad. T’Challa quickly frees himself and catches the Torch. They find the Psycho-Man shivering on the ground. Between their willpower and the electrical shock he caught a bad one, Ben surmises.
Ororo confides in T’Challa that in her dream Psycho-Man brought her worst anxieties about their relationship to life. T’Challa takes off his mask and confides it was the same for him. But he was not able to turn them against each other. And they both ultimately rejected his instigations. They exchange love vows and kiss. Ben rolls his eyes in mock disgust at the display.
Breaking off the kiss, Ororo warns T’Challa that later they need to talk about his relatives. Same here, but regarding her association with the X-Men, comes the reply. Uh guys, man down here, Ben points at Johnny.
T’Challa begins to apologize. No need to explain, Ben replies. After Psycho-Man messes with yer head, you end up in family therapy even after you kick his butt. T’Challa examines Johnny. Considering a normal man would be dead, he’s fine. He suggests his ability to transmute into living flames helps in a situation like this.
Do those insulated long johns chafe in the summer? Ben refers to the Panther’s uniform. He can make him a pair of shock-proof hot pants if he wishes, comes the reply. Now “Mr. taciturn” is making jokes, Ben sighs. They are rubbing off on him. But where are they? Storm wonders. Reality or another dream? And if it is real, are they in their own world? Black Panther asks. Or in the subatomica of a parallel universe? Not to mention, where are those blasted frogs? Ben asks. Johnny wakes up muttering he had the weirdest dream. He thinks the zombie part was real though…
They find the frogs glaring at them from within a force field. They are not really going to use them again, are they? Johnny asks nervously. Ben agrees. There’s enough doohickeys around there to figure out some other kind of ride home. Let’s just leave them here.
Storm disagrees. They are too dangerous. So the consensus is that they are conscious and malicious. They are at least mischievous, Storm agrees, but malevolently so. Johnny suggests he light a fire under them until they talk. They note the frog beginning to sweat. He notices he’s about to get caught and friend. Or is it condensation? Only one way to know for sure.
It’s not the scientific approach, but he is peeved, T’Challa agrees and asks Johnny to do the honors.
He lights up his finger but before can reach the frog it teleports them away. But it looks like he scared it into cooperating, Johnny remarks as he looks at the Empire State Building. Looks like they are finally home. Then they see an airship. Then again… he sighs.
Suddenly, they are ordered to freeze. Some out-of-towners on his run, a gangster in 30ies clothing remarks while his goons threaten them with guns. They gotta be kidding him, Ben sighs. Does he recognize this man? Storm asks. Worse than that…
The gangster grins, recognizing Ben. There’s big money on his head. He and the cat-man. He orders his boys to spray them. They fire, but not bullets but some kind of energy and the heroes fall. The gangster orders his men to get that bunch ready for the arena…

Gangsta Lean– part 2
Several excited men watch with rapt attention two alien monsters fighting each other in an arena. A reporter notes that even with severe wounds the challenger from planet Plaxus will not yield. A hand for their fighters today! One certain member of the audience shouts: enough with the pacing. Get ta killin’!
Whose idea was it to put a guy who can regenerate limbs in the ring with the champ - he’s boring him to tears! He keeps complaining. And look at the weasel Poog, he remarks angrily, looking at an African-American man surrounded by other African-Americans. He thinks he can get the drop of him and take over the fight game? He oughtta knock his head right off!
A servant comes in to talk to the complaining man, Mister Smalls, and is welcomed by his bodyguards’ guns. Smalls recognizes him and warns Barnesworth not to sneak up on a fella like that. He could get hurt that way. Nervously, Barnesworth whispers something in his ears. Excited, Smalls orders his boys to saddle up. They got business to handle!
Poog notices Smalls and his men leaving. One of his henchmen remarks jokingly he probably can’t stand to see this lousy fight he set up. He can’t wait for Poog to take over this racket. Maybe sooner than he thinks, comes the ominous reply.
Outside, Smalls gets into his limo and asks Barnesworth if he is sure it’s him. One-eyed Joe says so and he used to be a janitor in the old days. He washed out his stalls when they had him under control.
The limo takes off to fly and Smalls vows that that one eyed bastard better be right or he’ll lose his last good one.
Elsewhere, said One-eyed Joe angrily tells his colleague Hudlum who just shot the new FF he must be crazy. He can’t just leave the Thing like this. He’s the Thing! The other man remarks that considering he just rocked ‘em all to sleep, he ain’t too worried. He got the drop on them, Joe replies. Next time, they’ll be ready. The Thing alone could take down the whole place. He seen him do it. Joe don’t see so good, the other guy mocks him. Joe warns him not to laugh. He’ll see how hard he is laughing when the Thing rips up the sidewalk like carpet. Look, Hudlum tells him, when the big boss gets here, they’ll bring a power harness. Until then, he’s got this…okay?
Joe suddenly mutters he is getting an ache in his bones like it’s gonna snow or rain. The younger man remarks he hopes he’ll drop dead before he ends up a creepy old fart like… That moment, a lightning bolt strikes him and the FF are up and out for blood. He knew it Joe mutters.
The FF see the cops and gangsters both threatening them with what appear to be ordinary firearms. Ya gotta be kidding me, the Thing mutters. Well, if he does, it’ll be nasty, the Torch replies and asks Storm. Actually, he has this one covered, the Black Panther chimes in. Huh? the Torch asks. The cops are as astonished as they find their guns don’t work. Wakanda developed technology to defeat firearms centuries ago, the Panther explains, before pointing out that this doesn’t seem to be their Earth. Are they even in the right dimension? Uh-oh, Ben mutters, as he sees a street sign bearing the name Yancy Street. That ain’t a good sign…
T’Challa takes one of King Solomon’s frogs into his hands. He knows they understand them and they are tired of their games, Storm addresses it. End this nonsense or they will destroy the frogs. The frog smirks evilly, announcing they’ll see who is destroyed first. With that, the frogs disappear, leaving them behind.
That moment, several cars close in, intending to run them down. Ben smashes the first car, shouting that they are trying to talk here. He told them, Joe sighs as the others are flabbergasted.
The Panther decides that more effective weaponry will be arriving soon. They’ve got to get out of here. Ben agrees. He’s been here before and these guys mean business. As they start running, he mutters that he wouldn’t mind a little of Sue’s invisibility right now. What does he mean he’s been here before? Storm asks while Joe shouts for a phone.
Ben explains that Skrulls captured some mobster back in the 30ies as a pet and ended up turning the whole planet into a theme park based on his memories of being a mobster in the good old days. But with the Skrull technology they had the gizmos to take it to the next level. Instead of betting on the ponies, they had a gladiator arena set-up wit the best fighters in the galaxy including him.
Fortunately, Reed tracked Ben across the universe and the FF led a raid to free Ben and all the gladiators, Johnny continues the story. He can’t believe the Skrulls regrouped after a defeat like that. That moment, monsters and mobsters in flying cars attack. Say it, Ben, Ororo asks him. Oh it’s clobbering time all right, he replies.
The Panther turns to the Thing, recalling the X-Men have an attack maneuver called the “fastball special.” Is he familiar with it? Sure… if you go for that kind of thing, Ben replies, no offense, Storm. He tosses T’Challa at one of the flying cars. With his claws he holds tight.
It’s a Black Panther, one of the mobsters shouts. Don’t talk, shoot, the boss, Smalls, shouts. Kicking one of the gunmen, Panther suggests they talk instead.
The Torch fights a flying dragon man but is actually hurt by the fire it breathes. He falls.
Storm uses a gust of wind to have the dragon crash into the flying car.
T’Challa uses the situation to grab Smalls by the throat. He orders him to call off his men. Or he will slit his throat. Do yer worst, punk! comes he reply. The Panther begins to draw blood, causing the other man to emit a high-pitched scream. That girl squeal undermines your authority… punk, T’Challa replies.
Ben smashes a machine that tries to put a power harness on him. A hairy monster lands and orders him to submit to the harness now and spare himself pain, slave. Been there, worn that, ain’t going back, Ben replies. And no matter what his wardrobe, he’ll never be a slave!
He once said those words, the hairy being replies. He used to fight in the arena and escaped, Ben assures him. He can too! While he is distracted, from behind a robot manages to harness Ben with a collar.
Storm has caught Johnny who still wonders why that flame was able to hurt him. Maybe it was a mystical force or some chemical reaction they’ve never seen on Earth, she suggests. She parks him on a roof and unleashes a thunder storm against their foes.
T’Challa threatens the boss to finish this or die.
Johnny enjoys the cooling rain but looking down he sees Ben captured. He tries to flame on, but can’t stay lit in the rainstorm.
Down there Ben still struggles. Johnny finally manages to flame on enough to nail Ben’s foe. However, he is too distracted to notice the enemy behind him until he too is harnessed.
The Panther and his car crash into a wall. The inhabitants of the apartment immediately help the gangster boss.
Down below in the rain, servants load Ben to the back of a truck with the help of anti-grav discs. One of them asks the boss where the other guy is. He turns around to find the boss lying on the ground. It’s a Panther attack, one of he cops shouts as the reason for that becomes clear. Gangsters and cops both attack T’Challa.
Storm fights the fire breathing dragon. She manages to evade it but has more flying cars with gangsters shooting at her. T’Challa contacts her and orders her to leave the area while he looks after Ben and Johnny. The odds are about to get overwhelming. They cannot all be captured. They will shoot her down! Again, he orders her to leave and reluctantly she obeys.
The hairy gladiator tells T’Challa that he can fight but he won’t beat him. He will defeat him and his robot friend, T’Challa replies, using his technology to paralyze the robot and then taking out the gladiator with a kick. Nice finish, slave, the gangster boss remarks. T’Challa finds himself surrounded. Smalls tells him he and his little buddies got spunk. They’re gonna do great in the arena until they die!

Ready To Die – part 3
Storm flies for her life, chased by gangsters in flying cars who try to “blow her out of the sky.” However, her wind currents are giving them trouble and they realize she is an elemental.
As she flies past 125th street, the men begin to hesitate, realizing they are entering hostile territory. Recognizing the area, Storm wonders if this world even has a replica of her father’s home.
One gangster tells his comrade that, if they cross the block, they are violating the treaty. Screw that, his partner replies. Biggie says they do something, they do it – no excuses.
Seeing Storm fly, an African-American man shouts at her: Right on Soulsister! They got her back. She sees several other African-Americans gathering behind him with baseball bats and sticks. She warns them not to. Her foes are too heavily armed. They aren’t the only ones, the first man replies with a grin.
Suddenly, the first car seems to smash into an invisible wall. Welcome to Harlem, the man shouts. The gangsters realize that it’s a forcefield and return. “Go home,” Storm’s new friend shouts. “These are our streets. Welcome home, sista,” he welcomes her as she lands. But she isn’t from here, she replies. This is uptown, baby, he informs her. It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at.
Meanwhile, back at the gangsters’ place, Boss Smalls aka Biggie peers into T’Challa’s cell, informing him he could have him killed. But he is a business man. If he dies in the arena, he’ll make money on it. Plus it will send a message to his buddies uptown. Nice of them to dress him up as some kinda symbol of their movement. That way, they’ll get the message loud and clear when he is torn into bite-sized chunks on the arena floor.
As the Panther keeps silent, he asks how did they pick him. Is he the toughest guy in the neighborhood? Or did he just pull the shortest stick? They could cut a deal. Put some other dumb sucker in the suit and he gets torn apart in the arena and the Panther could live a nice quiet life. But he’s gotta tell him something: who is the leader of the Black Panthers? Where is he? Who is the inside man in his organization? How’s his throat? T’Challa asks. He can’t wait to see him die! Smalls shouts.
Storm’s new friend leads her to a church and asks where she is from. Kenya, Storm replies, but her father is from Harlem. Well, welcome home, sista – for real, the man replies. Does she still have people here? She doesn’t know, Ororo admits.
The man tells her she needs to talk with this man, and leads her inside the church. This man is one of the most important leader they’ve got up here. He addresses him as “rev” and asks him to meet Ororo Munroe. The reverend greets her. Ororo stands astonished: she is looking into the eyes of reverend Martin Luther King. Yeah, the rev has that effect on people, her new friend remarks.
Elsewhere in the arena, the flying competition is announced. Johnny is rudely shaken awake and tossed into the arena – into an invisible globe, to be exact. His foe, a spiky being with wings, attacks him. Unimpressed, Johnny flames on and evades the other’s attack. Unfortunately, the other’s spikes don’t cut through the bubble as Johnny had hoped.
Avoiding anything hand-to-hand with his foe Johnny, flames up so bright his foe can’t see and burns up oxygen at an accelerated rate until the other falls unconscious before him. Johnny sinks down exhausted after him and is announced winner.
Having watched from his cell, Ben praises his friend. From the door, an African-American man asks what Ben’s gonna do when it’s his turn. Ben asks for the man’s name. Bumpy Johnson, comes the rely. Who does he work for? Ben asks. He’s his own man. A lot of employees say that, Ben observes. Bumpy asks again what Ben is gonna do. Last time he was here, he started a revolution. A lotta good that did, Ben replies. Here they are back again.
Bumpy lights a smoke as he remarks that things done changed. Lotta moving parts. Been waiting on an X element like him to shake things up, make some opportunities. And then what happens? Ben asks. Bumpy clean that place up? Or it starts all over again with him as boss?
Does it matter? Bumpy asks. Ben’s gonna do what he’s gonna do and then Bumpy’s gonna do what he’s gonna do. So his job isn’t done until he takes Bumpy down with the rest of them, Ben states. Bumpy assures him he is his friend as he will find out soon enough.
Back in the Church Uptown, “Reverend King” explains matters to Ororo. She is on the Skrull planet Kral. Many years ago, Kral patterned itself after a man named “Machine Gun” Martin – a gangster and murderer. It was Martin who first gave them the idea to settle their disputes by pitting gladiators against one another in the arena.
Eventually, the gladiator revolted inspired by the Thing. They barely survived as a people. Some of the liberated gladiators wanted to wipe them out altogether for their crimes.
narration, accompanied by pictures:
The survivors were left in ruins with a profound identity crisis. Some like Biggie immediately wanted to rebuild the world that was lost and start all over again, only bigger and stronger. But others felt guilty about what they had done and wanted to change. But to what? Their Skrull identities seemed boring and foreign to them. So they looked to Earth again for inspiration.
They saw a very different world than the one taught to them decades ago. They witnessed the Civil Right Movement, a movement emphasizing morality and self-worth. They were inspired to model their lives after this. And so, a group of Skrulls turned into African-Americans.
Present:
So they became two rival cultures? Storm realizes. Uptown and Downtown. They have tried to open their minds in a non-violent fashion, King explains. But the others continue to see their existence as a threat.
“Because of me,” the voice of a newcomer announces, as “Malcolm X” steps in. Calmly, he explains that if it weren’t for his Back Panthers protecting Harlem, those thugs would have overrun Harlem ages ago. Black Panther? Ororo asks.
X explains that he has assembled an army of young brothers and sisters who are prepared to defend their homeland by any means necessary. He takes Ororo’s hand. Her powers are the talk of the entire planet. With her help they can end the slavery, the degradation and humiliation of beings from across the galaxy that happens every day downtown. his turn. If they don’t act now, they will execute the symbol of their movement in the arena to demoralize their people. Her husband? Ororo asks agitated.
In the arena, the Black Panther is introduced as a champion of “the pathetic band of trouble makers from Uptown” and pitted against the werewolf of Sirius.
From his cell, Ben observes that apparently they cut all the tech outta “T’charlie’s” long johns. Probably their idea of fairness.
The werewolf leaps, but so does the Panther, amazingly high up. He stomps onto the werewolf’s head and punches him both to the spine and the kidneys.
As the commentator describes Panther’s actions in glowing colors, one of Biggie’s men forcefully suggests he tone it down.
Panther evades the Werewolf. Furious, Biggie pouts that he was supposed to be nothing but catgut now. Barnesworth promises he won’t leave the arena alive.
Back in Harlem, at a meeting of the Back Panthers, Malcolm X announces that now is them time for revolution and an African goddess has arrived to lead them into battle. Does she have any words to say? he asks Storm.
First, she hesitates, then admits that she feels uncomfortable going into battle with people, however well-intentioned – that she doesn’t know and hasn’t trained with. Her powers could very well injure them unintentionally, so she asks them to stand clear of her. Oh, she adds as an afterthought, and if there are any traitors in this room, she will kill them personally.
Nice, Malcolm mutters. Never hurts to set a tone, she replies with a smile. He leads her into an office to meet the double agent that will smuggle them into the heart of Downtown to launch their attack. One Bumpy Johnson…
In the Arena, the Werewolf attacks and T’Challa just stands there as though frozen in fear. At the last possible moment, he strikes, hitting the wolf on the snout. Hit at such a vulnerable point, the wolf stumbles away and the Panther finishes him off, finally breaking his neck.
Many members of the audience that were against him originally cheer.
Elsewhere, Ororo and the Panthers disguise themselves as simple workers, or in Ororo’s case, a maid. Listening to the radio, they learnt that T’Challa won his battle. Of course he did, Ororo remarks, but now they really have to kill him. They must hurry!
Reverend King tells her he knows she has to stand by her man, but doesn’t she see that violence only begets more violence? Storm assures him that when this is over, he will rule this land with wisdom and love. But right now… it’s clobbering time!
The Arena:
Two men, rivals of Biggie, watch the cheering audience. They observe that the Panther now has the crowd on his side. And they can imagine how they are celebrating him in Harlem. This isn’t looking good for Biggie. Once their boy, Bumpy, leads the spooks to an uprising, nobody will think twice when he pushes Biggie off his pedestal and takes the throne, the one man decides. Especially after he saves the city from the moolie invasion, the other man agrees.
Biggie angrily draws a gun. The Panther is making him look like a fool. He’ll kill him himself! Barnesworth tries to hold him back. The Panther is too popular right now. It’s gotta be done in the ring the right way. Biggie warns him: he has one more round to make it right or he’ll kill him before he kills the Panther. Barnesworth calls for the next opponent to be brought – the Thing.
Bad day at the office? Ben asks T’Challa. He’ still stands, comes the reply. Heard that. They turn upwards. They know they ain’t fighting each other, right? Ben asks. In fact they should surrender now, T’Challa warns Biggie and his people.  Have they forgotten the Planet-Smasher? Biggie asks angrily. They will use that weapon to destroy their world if they don’t fight.
Ben points out that they destroyed that thing last time they were her. How do they know this isn’t a fake? And how do hey know it’s even pointed at Earth? the Panther asks.
Biggie shows them where the weapon is aimed at on a screen.  It seems indeed to be Earth. Smooth, Ben whispers to T’Challa. Now they at least know they are in the right reality.
And as for the effectiveness, Biggie continues… they can choose any of the landmasses to prove their power. Would it be wrong to suggest Stark Industries? Ben asks T’Challa in a whisper. He loves his humor in the bleakest moments, the other man replies. Any orbiting satellite will do, he tells Biggie and moments later one is destroyed. Hopefully their friends on Earth will trace the energy signature of the attack back to here, T’Challa whispers to Ben.
All they gotta do… is survive, Ben replies.
In the meantime, Bumpy Johnson leads the Black Panthers through the sewers nearing their goal. The heroes are unaware that, above them, armed gangsters are already waiting for them…

Endgame - conclusion
The Black Panthers and Storm have used the sewers to reach their goal of infiltrating the arena where Storm’s teammates are forced to fight each other to the death. Having almost reached their goal, their guide, Bumpy Johnson, asks Storm who looks at him suspiciously, if she’s okay. Why does he ask? she retorts. It’s just… well, a lot of folks don’t like the sewers, he explains. The smells, the sights, just being underground… But he seems right at home here, she replies pointedly. Still don’t trust him? he asks with a smile. That’s okay. He don’t trust them either. As long as they understand each other…
Above the exit manhole a group of armed gangsters are waiting. This is where their “moolie” said they’d come out. But he’s gotta get clear first, before they start blasting. And if he don’t? one of them asks. Eggplant salad, he guesses, another of them laughs. Suddenly, one of them moans. His shoulder where he got shot, it’s aching like it’s about to rain or snow or something, like the whole weather just changed.
The manhole cover suddenly blows right into their face, carried aloft by Storm’s gust of wind.
How the hell did she do that? Bumpy asks surprised. Just think of what she’s going to do to him if he doesn’t explain why those thugs were waiting for them, she replies.
Like he’s responsible for every hood in town? he asks defensively. How should he know why they’re there? Can she vouch for every person here? Who knows who might have talked? Storm suggests they see if the coast is clear. With a cruel smile she causes her winds to carry him up and out. He shouts at the gangsters hold their fire. Following him are Malcolm X and his Black Panthers and the firefight begins.
Down below, Storm order the others not to just focus on this manhole, but go to the others before and after. They need to outflank their enemies.
One of the Panthers apologizes for leading her into this situation. She asks how much of the information is good since this part was already compromised. The location of the cannon is real, he replies. That’s what they use to keep the gladiators in check. If they destroy that, not only will the threat to her world be averted, but another slave revolt will erupt. Clear away, she orders him and flies upward, threatening the gangsters to stand down or be destroyed.
In the arena, Biggie reminds the Thing and the Black Panther of the stakes. They are to fight each other to the death or their homeplanet will be destroyed.
Impatient, Ben shouts at the audience to listen to him. Do they remember him? Do they remember who he is? Sure they do! They might have erased every image of him when he tore this little playhouse down years ago, but they know who he is and what he did to them!
Is that true? a young boy asks his father who shushes him. Ben continues. All of them who remember him: tell a friend. In an hour from now, this place will be history! They hear him? History! And this time they won’t stop until they destroy everything. This world will never rise again.
The audience is silent. Barnesworth whispers to Biggie that the Thing is scaring them. Angrily Biggie orders him to start the music and make them fight.
Ah, for the luvva pete, Ben swears. They cut him off with the band. What is this, the Oscars? T’Challa warns him this is just the first step. The next moment the slave with electric powers who helped capture them fires an energy blast at Ben and orders him to fight or he’ll get more of this. T’Challa warns him that he will have to choose sides soon. He hopes he will choose the wrong side.
Is Ben ready? he asks. Yeah, comes the stuttering reply, once his teeth stop chattering.
The two heroes move towards each other. Biggie smirks in anticipation. But instead of beginning to fight, Ben gives T’Challa momentum as he hurls him up towards the bleachers where Biggie is sitting. They believe the force field will stop the Panther. Unfortunately, he cuts through it with his suit’s energy blades.
What did he promise him? the Panther asks Biggie who begins to run. The Panther drags him back by his suit’s lapels and takes him as a hostage. Holding his claws to Biggie’s throat, he reminds him of his promise to cut his throat. When the other man threatens to destroy Earth, T’Challa begins drawing blood, pointing out Biggie will still be dead.
Elsewhere in the building, Storm has reached the cannon. Biggie’s men try to blast her out of the sky, but are attacked by Malcolm X’s people. It’s nation time, brothers! One of them shouts.
Cops and criminals both try to defend the cannon but Storm tears through all their defenses, and destroys the cannon with lightning.
From elsewhere, criminals watch the explosion, realizing this isn’t just the end of Biggie. They are all up the creek now.
Inside one of the cells the Torch shouts at the Thing to let him out. He wants some action as well. Before Ben can free him, the electric slave lets loose another blast at him. Ben finally gets his revenge and clobbers him. Afterwards he frees Johnny and the other slaves. Anybody who wants some, get some, he tells them. And they though the Chicago fire was bad, Johnny announces as he flies up.
Still holding Biggie by the throat, the Panther tells his men that the cannon is destroyed. The warriors they enslaved are free and are all looking for them. Are they really going to stand here and attempt to protect a dead man? They look at each other and flee. The Panther slits Biggie’s throat, telling him he had his chance to surrender. He could have negotiated a peace. His time is over.
He steps outside the burning arena where he is expected by Storm and the Black Panthers. Power to the people, the Panthers shout. Amandla… brothers and sisters, T’Challa replies.
He sees she made friends, he remarks wryly to Ororo and they kiss passionately. Ororo introduces him to Malcolm X, who in turn introduces his friend Martin Luther King. Storm explains that these are the two leaders qualified to bring the planet back to civilization. The Panther remarks they have quite a task ahead of them. They have to… Move beyond the anger over the past and create a fair and pluralistic society where black and white, human and alien, can all live together in peace King continues.
But they can only do that if there is justice, Malcolm X points out. There must be tribunals where the prime movers and collaborators of this evil regime have their crimes exposed to the world and proper punishment is applied.
Suddenly, they look up, hearing booming noise as Ben topples the pillars holding the arena.
Two Panthers holding Bumpy Johnson, ask what to do with this rat. He asks Storm not to take this personal. It was just business! Angrily, she retorts their business in concluded. His trial will be short and his death an example. He likes it! Malcolm X remarks. Does this sister have a sister?
Johnson suggests a deal. He knows a spaceship that can get them home. Storm and the Panther look at each other. A little later the Four follow Bumpy down a cellar. He explains that Biggie kept an escape craft in case things went south. The Panther warns him this doesn’t mean clemency for him. It’s gotta count for something, comes the reply.
T’Challa remarks he read Reed’ manual on Skrull technology. He should be able to pilot them home. Sounds like a great read on the beach, Johnny jokes. Actually yes, T’Challa replies. Bumpy shows them the preset destination is Earth. Biggie figured he could make it big there
Suddenly, King Solomon’s frogs appear, announcing they won’t be needing this craft. They are going home to Earth all right. They teleport the four away. Bumpy is left alone with the spacecraft. With a grin he vows that Bumpy Johnson will rise again.
