Chapter 60: Chapter 59: Face your DOOM! -4 (Edited!)
"What's the plan, then?" Johnny asks from behind me as I turn to face them all.
At least I have some strong Firepower now!
I go through the plans in my head... again.
Plan 1: I have seen the movie, so I know how Doom is defeated. With Johnny now here, I can implement that plan: Have Johnny go supernova on Doom, while Susan and I maintain a big forcefield to contain the fire. Once sufficient temperature is reached, I can use the nearby fire hydrants to rapidly cool Doom down, causing his metal to shrink rapidly and turning him into a metal statue. It's Canon, so it should work, right?
Plan 2: I still haven't given up on my Anti-Power plan, it will work for sure! Have the others attack and distract him and you use my ability. Third time should be the charm, right?
Plan 3: We have stronger melee and ranged fighters now, so just pummel him. We will eventually defeat him, right?
Plan 4: Use the Portal plan, send him away underneath some lake or the nearby river. Even if he somehow survives, at least I won't have to worry about him now, right?
Plan 5: Maybe use the Thing as a hammer to hit him. Ben wouldn't mind, right?
Plan 6: The NYPD are the real heroes, they are just waiting for my signal to come and finish Doom off, back down and let them have the stage!
Plan 7: Use metal construct to make needles and throw them at dooms eyes (blind this bitch)

I swiftly establish a telepathic link with everyone, ensuring seamless communication. With urgency in my voice, I explain the plan to them.
Ben and Johnny appear confused at first, while Reed's expression shifts to one of surprise. It dawns on me that Reed might have already conceived a similar plan, given its resemblance to the one from the movie—I am essentially just borrowing his idea.
Johnny attempts to voice a question, but I quickly convey telepathically for him to maintain silence and adhere to the plan, cautioning against alerting Doom.
Susan acknowledges my instructions with a determined nod.
"You—I granted your desires, yet this is how you reciprocate!" Doom's voice resonates with anger as he directs his gaze towards Ben. "You shall be the initial target for elimination," he proclaims, his hand ominously pointed in Ben's direction.
ZAAPPP!!
The onslaught of Electrical Bolt hammers into Ben, who, aware of the plan, opts to withstand the assault rather than advancing towards Doom.
"Ughh," Ben grunts, absorbing the electrical barrage with his stone-like resilience.
"Flame on!" Johnny roars, responding to my telepathic urging. He ignites into his fiery form and jets directly towards Doom.
Doctor Doom halts his attack on Ben, observing Johnny's approach. Instead of a direct assault, Johnny begins to orbit Doom rapidly, generating a swirling vortex of fire around him.
The intense heat radiates across the square, even reaching us from our position at a distance. Johnny may not exactly reach the supernova temperatures of the movie version, which was apparently capable of destroying the entire Earth, but he can still go very very hot!
As Johnny accelerates, the flames rise higher, his heat and speed increasing with each passing moment.
Susan and I synchronise our movements seamlessly, as we both start creating a Psionic Forcefield to contain the raging fire within.
With both of us working together, the task is less taxing on my stamina. Positioned strategically near a water hydrant, U utilise my Power of Metal Constructs to transform the hydrant into a Metal Water Jet Sprayer. Currently, its nozzle remains closed, awaiting the right moment to unleash its torrent.
As we stand by, patiently awaiting Johnny to reach the required temperature, I notice something peculiar within the red inferno: white sparks flickering within the flames!
In the next instant, these sparks transform into full-fledged electrical arcs, crackling and dancing amidst the firestorm.
BOOOM!
Reacting swiftly, I retract a section of the shield just in time to witness Johnny hurtling out of the firestorm.
Susan promptly halts the shield too and rushes to her brother's side.
As the flames subside rapidly, I notice lingering electrical arcs crackling both on the ground and in the air.
"Are you alright, Johnny?" Susan asks anxiously, helping him up from the ground.
Reed approaches, concern etched on his face. "What happened?"
"T-there was electricity inside the fire suddenly, and then this powerful lightning hit me, blasting me out. Ughh, it was quite painful," Johnny explains, struggling to stand.
I hear their conversation, but my eyes remain fixed on the heart of the fire. As the flames diminish, my focus sharpens, and I see him emerge from the dissipating inferno.
"Is that all you could do?" Doom's voice booms with anger, accompanied by crackling electric sparks coursing down his body and across the ground.
He must have unleashed relentless torrents of electricity, using them to strike Johnny and break himself free from the firestorm prematurely.
Woosh!
Without waiting for his monologue to conclude, I twist the knob and blast the Jet of water at him.
BZZZ!!!
I observe him attempting to channel electricity through the water, but since I wasn't in contact with the Metal Jet Sprayer construct, I remain unharmed.
However, I can sense the intense electrical current coursing through it. I am relieved that I took charge of this task, as Reed and Ben might have sustained injuries if they had handled it.
I turn the knob off as the electricity ceases, and I wait with bated breath as the steam dissipates.
"Doom will not go down by the likes of you!"
'Shit,' I curse inwardly, knowing all too well that things rarely go as smoothly as they do in the movies.
I observe Doom, his clothes charred and burnt away, and even parts of his armour showing signs of damage. The metallic shine that once covered his skin is absent, indicating that the intense heat and rapid cooling may have affected his metal composition.
Though I didn't achieve the desired outcome of shrinking the metal, as it didn't reach as high a temperature as I wanted, the rapid cooling seemed to have a quenching effect, rendering his metal skin... brittle, at least that's my hypothesis.
I go through plans in my head swiftly as I don't know how long will this brittle armour thing would last for.

(Doctor Doom) AC: 15; Health (286/300); End: 90

Plan 1: Attack him with the FF4, he looks weakened I can finish him quickly, right?
Plan 2: Ask Johnny to do the Supernova thing again, it will def work the second time, right?
Plan 3: Tell FF4 to attack and distract him as I try the Anti-Power ability, third time is the charm, right?
Plan 4: Go with the Portal Plan, send him to the nearby sea bed, out of sight out of mind, he will surely die there, right?
Plan 5: I can still use Ben as a Hammer! He should definitely not refuse, right?
Plan 6: Its time for the real super heroes to arrive, NYPD is ready with their preparation, just leave it to them!

Avi2112 The fight is about to end in the next chapter!!

In this fight there were multiple pics, but most of them were of larger than 3 mb, so I to reduce their size first and then add it. Which was honestly too much work, so I just gave up in the end :P

I know many people dont like that I am posting plans, but they are really funny no? :P

Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know.
