chapter 19 fantastic fall

POV Johnny storm aka the human torch

Time: during 17 & 18

"*groan* my head what happened" I look around and I don't see ben or reed but sue is still in her chair unconscious remembering my chair strap is stuck I quickly burn it off and make my way to sue as I do so the jet starts to shift with my steps. I hear the groaning of metal and the stretch and cracking of branches 'we must be caught in a tree but that just adds more question to the growing pile'. I slowly make my way until I'm next to my sister and try to shake her awake.

sue storm: "J...Johnny what's going on where are reed and ben" she stammers out as she comes back out of her daze looking to where I last saw them, but now all I see is a giant hole where the pilot seat should be and I can only come to one conclusion.

"looks like ben took reed down with him out of the jet" this cause sue to no longer be dazed but it was replaced with a look of horror as she and I made way to said hole looking down I saw what would be most people's worst nightmare we had to be at least three stories up. but not too far down was Reed caught in some vines. Ben on the other hand wasn't so lucky he ha hit the ground hard and neither of them was moving. Sue quickly made a platform with her force field and we quickly gathered reed then making our way down.

"you think he's ok sue he's taken big hits but..." the worry on sue's face was my answer as we lowered I heard a rumbling I looked around trying to find its source

sue storm: "Hey what's that noise?" a second later I realized what it was and smiled it was Ben's snoring and I chuckled.

"it's sleeping beauty down there let's go wake him and reed up and figure out our situation" it only took a few minutes to wake the others up and get to work.

20 minutes pass

•one hour before max arrives in Cumbria

after getting the jet out of the tree and vines with some firepower and a rock catcher we went over everything and well it didn't work whatever field or barrier that surrounds this place destroyed all our electrical systems on the jet and fried all of our electrical equipment as well even our communicators so we were left with basic tools and supplies.

ben Grimm "so this is all we got some rations that will last us a good 3 days and some tents climbing gear...." ben listened to of the supplies we had to reed while me and sue scouted the area didn't take long for us to find things that made our heads turn. the first was the plant life none of us were botanists but just at a glance, I knew most of these plants have never been seen before on earth.

sue storm: "This is incredible if I didn't know we were on earth I would think we were on a different planet" sue was engrossed in the wild plants of the forest and immediately got to work collecting samples to be analyzed back at the Baxter Building.

POV 3rd person

35 minutes pass

once the fantastic four got the crash site turned into what could resemble a camp they got to work studying the area. sue stayed near camp using whatever tools that we're left to collect and analyze soil and plant life. reed wanted to study what was dubbed "the dome" by johnny on how it worked whether it was natural or man-made and so on but he was making little progress but he did love a good challenge. Ben and johnny decided to try and get some of the electronics to work or fix the ship while also being on the lookout for any dangers that might pop up, and for a while, it was nothing but excitement from the two scientists with their new hypothesis. for a while, it was calm until the first blast shot out of the jungle.

POV Reed Richard

I was having a conversation with sue explaining my theory on what the some was until I was hit by something and I couldn't move I was frozen unable to say or do anything I watch sue immediately throw up a force field around us.

sue storm: "johnny, Ben we're being attacked from the thicket" she didn't need to tell them twice been came to stand next to sue while she looked over me trying to find any injuries johnny ignited and went to the sky looking for whoever shot me. but he didn't last long in the sky as two blots of energy struck him from different angles making his body go stiff and falling from the sky only to be caught by Ben who was on the lookout but still couldn't see any of our attackers.

Ben Grimm: hey we come in peace we do-" he was cut off as multiple bolts of energy tried to reach him but collided with the force field fully surrounding our group. but doing so promoted our attacked to come out of hiding and what I saw was not what I was expecting. all around us were humanoid beings around fifteen of them all having some kind of mutations some being far more severe than others. as they surrounded use they held their weapons up always aimed at us then a bigger humanoid with the scales of some reptiles and wings furled behind him appeared and upon seeing us gave multiple orders to his subordinates and a second later they fired on the shield trying to break it sue struggled to keep it up but it was too much and soon cracked started to form and it broke causing sue to go unconscious but it unleashed ben who rushed at the enemy but shot after shot hit him and he slowly was forced to his knees as this was happening the leader came over to me and the others placing a collar around our necks and finally on ben after he was too stunned to move.

As they were picking us up and taking us and our equipment away something happened it looked like a lightning bolt but it was far too bright and in the split second it appears the sound of the thunder that followed sounded like a roar of a mighty beast. but it stunned the humanoids for while it lasted promoting them to rush are capture and left me wondering what had scared them so.
