Doomskull began to tighten the chains around the heroes neck, making her whimper in pain.

Doomskull laughed, as he wound the chains around his fists.

"This is where your bloodline ends hero, poor little Julie will become an orphan!"

He cackled.

Crimson Storm could barely breath, as the metal chains cut into her throat unable to make a sound.

Her vision began to blur, as her circulation was slowly being cut off and she closed her eyes to accept her fate.

I'm so sorry mom, dad, my dear sister Julie.

I couldn't stop Doomskull, if this is my fate so be it.

She thought as she began to cry, the tears streaming down her face.

Doomskull gripped the chains tighter, preparing the killing blow.

"Say goodbye Casey!"

He said.

Crimson Storm felt the pressure on her throat tighten, knowing her head would be ripped from her shoulders any moment now.

But then, the deafening sound of a helicopter echoed through Crimson Tower, followed by the sudden flooding of bright spotlights.

"This is CCPD, Crimson Tower is surrounded!"

"Give yourself up Doomskull!"

A man's voice blaring from a megaphone said.

Doomskull let his grip from the chains loosen, letting Crimson Storm go and she fell on her face, coughing.

Doomskull looked around in panic.

"NO, NO, NO!"

He cried out.

Crimson Storm laid motionless, as her vison returned to normal and she saw her severed limbs in front of her.

"M-my arms!"

She gasped.

She then closed her eyes and felt a burst of energy radiate through her body and travel down her armless sockets.

But then magenta sparks erupted from the sockets and formed into electric tendrils of muscle that snaked towards her arms and began to weave into the flesh and bone.

And then the tendrils reeled the arms closer and began to reattach to her sockets until she could feel her arms once more.

Crimson Storm couldn't believe her eyes, as she admired her newly attached arms.

"No way, I can reattach limbs now!?"

She murmured to herself, as she got to her feet.

Crimson Storm ran to her teammates in the middle of the room and threw herself into their arms with a friendly hug.

"What's going on?"

She said, noticing the helicopter.

Cobalt bullet let go of her, smiling.

"I think we're saved."

He said.

The police helicopter got closer to the building, as several Swat officers jumped from the vehicle and onto the ballroom floor.

"Surrender villains, your reign of terror is over!"

The megaphone blared once more.

Within seconds, Doomskull and his legion were surrounded by a handful of police officers.
