193. Villain To Good Boy

Doom took Alexander to show him the portal he had made. It wasn't working the way he wanted. Alexander just checked it and then destroyed it.

"Do not ever make something like that again foolishly. You have no idea how dangerous extra-dimensional beings can be. Now, let's go and get your mama."

Alexander took out the anywhere door and chose Mephisto's dimension as his destination.

"Just follow me and don't touch anything," Alexander advised him.

They entered the hellish realm and went straight to the castle. It had not been a very long time since he last came there and punished Mephisto.

Some minor Demons came in his way but he just slapped them out of existence. He went straight to Mephisto's throne room.

"Why have you returned? I didn't do anything now." Mephisto said with a bit of fear in his voice.

"Release his mother, Mephisto," Alexander ordered.

Doom was shocked to see the supposedly dreadful demon. It didn't look dangerous at all. Instead, it looked weak and fragile.

"Why do you need her? She made a deal and will keep on serving me." Mephisto denied.

"*Sigh* I wasn't asking. Do you want me to take away the remaining energy you have left?" Alexander threatened him.

Mephisto paled at that and quickly summoned the soul of Victor's mother. Cynthia von Doom was a woman who made a deal with Mephisto to make sure her people could live happily and away from the persecution of a man called Baron. She received powers in return for her soul and started slaying Baron's men. But then she found out that the magic that made her stronger also killed every child in the village. It was Mephisto being an as*hole. So she gave up her powers right at that moment and got stabbed by a guard.

Though she survived to get away and died in her husband's arms, making him promise that he won't let Victor follow her path.

But sad for her, Victor chose the path she despised. Alexander knew all this and he was expecting for Doom's mother to put him on the right path later.

Cynthia appeared in her astral form. She looked bad, after all, she was getting tortured all this time.

"You are free to go, just leave me alone." Mephisto nearly pleaded.

Doom quickly walked to his mother, "Mother."

Cynthia looked at him for a second and finally recognized the voice. "Victor? Is that you?"

"Yes, mother. I finally found you." He rejoiced but his voice was still the same monotone-ish.

"Why did you come here? Run... run away. You cannot fight Mephisto..." She being a mother, quickly thought about the well being of her son.

Alexander walked to them, "Ehem... No need to worry. Look at him. Do you really think he's in any position to fight me? I have already defeated him and have left him powerless. Now, I just need to make you a body and put you in it."

Alexander took out his staff and pointed at the Astral form of Cinthia. Slowly, a body started to form on her. Starting from internal organs to her skin and finally some clothes.

Doom had already created a clone body for her using his own DNA but this was much better from what he had planned.

Alexander took out the anywhere door and told them to follow him. They again appeared in Doom's office.

Cynthia had small tears for being back in the realm of the living. She looked around at various stuff and touched it.

"What happened to your face, Victor?" She asked.

Doom was a bit uneased by that question. He had a reason why he hid his face behind that mask and even if he wanted he wouldn't be able to take it off as he had molded it straight to his skin.

The story was simple. When Doom used to study in America in the same college as Fantastic Four he made a machine to talk to his mother.

Though Richards tried to warn him about a flaw in the machine, seeing his calculations were a few decimals off, Victor continued on with disastrous results, the machine violently failing with the resulting explosion seemingly severely damaging his face.

Expelled after the accident, Victor traveled the world until he collapsed on a Tibetan mountainside. Rescued by a clan of monks, Victor quickly mastered the monks' disciplines as well as the monks themselves. He then forged himself a suit of armor, complete with an iron mask, but before the mask had finished cooling, Victor put it on permanently bonding it to his skin, and then took the mantle Doctor Doom.

It was later revealed that Ben Grimm, a friend of Richards who despised Victor for his superior attitude, tampered with the machine. He would later blame himself for Doom's initial fall into villainy and rise to power but never revealed this information to anyone.

Alexander looked at Doctor Doom and smiled, "Yeah, why don't you take that helmet off, Victor?"

Doom looked at Alexander with hatefulness. He thought that Alexander was mocking his misfortune. But before Doom could say anything, Cynthia quickly approached him and tried to take the helmet off.

"It won't come off, mother." He told her.

*SNAP*

Surprisingly it came off. Doom was shocked and covered his face with one hand.

"You look so handsome, my child." She exclaimed.

Doom looked shocked. How can his hideous burnt face be handsome? Understanding his confusion, Alexander conjured a mirror in front of him.

Doom looked at his own face in a daze. His normal face was back. There were no scars.

"I kept my end of the bargain. You'll find that bargaining with me is much better than doing it with demons. This brings us to our next topic."

Alexander walked up to him and punched him directly in the face. It was so hard that he flew and got plated into the wall.

Cynthia panicked, "What are you doing?! Wait, who are you?"

~Now she sees me?~

"Your foolish son made a deal with Nether Demons. That he would offer them something that is dear to him and can never be replaced, the only thing in the world he loved, In return, he would get absolute power and be able to harness magic like a sorcerer supreme. He's given up the love of his life. The girl who loved him from childhood. This is how he was going to pay Valeria back?" Alexander angrily said.

Cynthia was shocked and looked at her son, "Is he telling the truth?"

Doom didn't answer. She understood the meaning behind his silence. She knew who Valeria was.

She looked at Alexander, "C-Can you save her?"

"Of course. But Doom needs to keep his end of the deal. Sign the contract to be a good boy." He threw a magical contract at him.

Doom looked at it for a long moment and finally signed it. There was another clause added to it. That he would never deal with demons anymore.

"How will you save her?" He asked.

"Just follow me, boy," Alexander said.

They came to a small tribal village. It was Doom's old gypsy tribe. They had now formed a permanent village. All of the people looked happy and smiling. Kids were cheerfully playing around.

The most surprising thing was that his presidential election posters were there too. He was not even on the American continent.

He miscalculated his popularity and soon got surrounded by the people. They were all calling him god, angel, or messiah. It seems their lives got better from his food, water, and electricity work.

"Victor?" A soft voice came from behind.

They all looked back at a pretty woman in a red dress. "Valeria?" He called her.

"It's really you. Where were you all these years?" She cried and jumped to hug him. Doom acted a bit reserved at first but a fist to his head from his mother made him hug her back.

Alexander felt the demonic aura rising from the ground under Valeria. So he sent everyone except him, Doom, Cinthia, and Valeria to mirror dimension.

"They are coming," Alexander announced.

Soon the ground split open and a fiery red aura came out. A lot of skeleton looking Demons tried to crawl out and grab Valeria.

"You are not welcome to the world of the living." Alexander sent an extremely powerful Frostfyre spell into their demonic dimension. It started to slowly freeze everything to a statue, only to turn into dust a moment later. All the Nether Demons died that day.

Valeria was unconscious at that moment as telling her everything would make it all worse. What followed was a reunion between the two. Doom offered them all to come and live in his country. They all happily accepted it.

Alexander decided to take his leave as his job was done.

"Thank you for your help, sir. Thank you," Cinthia shook his hands and thanked repeatedly.

"Haha... That's just what I do. Goodbye. Tell Victor to keep his promise."

He popped away into Phixheim because Fulcrum woke up.
