E.T., Letty, Harry, and Spidey were on the catwalk. Doctor Doom walked out onto the catwalk and the four Univengers stopped in their tracks.
"It is an honor to meet you in the flesh, Univengers," said the doctor. "And Spider-Man, we meet again." Spidey narrowed his eyes at him.
"The pleasure belongs to no one," said Letty.
"Naturally," said Von Doom.
"What do you want?", asked Harry as he pulled his wand out of his pocket.
"Simple," answered Von Doom. "To be the most powerful man on earth."
"Don't we all," Spidey snarked. "I can see you're a dictator, but you should keep your own country and business to yourself." Doom's eyes narrowed slightly at the group.
"I assume the brown abomination has nothing to say," he said, gesturing to E.T. The alien groaned with disgust.
"T'is a shame," said Von Doom.
"What?", asked Letty. "That you won't give up already?"
"That's my line, sis," whispered Spidey.
"Save some banter for the rest of us," Letty whispered.
"Quiet, both of you," Harry whispered irritably.
"No," said Von Doom. "It's a shame that your two other friends won't be able to help you." One of the Doombots launched two small rockets from its arms
Spider-Man sentenced the rockets as they flew above them. Those rockets are heading toward the support beam, he thought. Trying to give us a dramatic exit, not on my watch. Spidey web-grabbed the two Rockets and flung them toward Von Doom and his group. The Latverian put up his left arm almost lazily and a large, green shield formed in front of them. Ba-boom! The two rockets exploded on impact from hitting the shield. Von Doom pushed the shield forward with both hands. The shield moved toward the four Univengers with such speed that it pushed them down. The shield disappeared and two other rockets were fired from another Doombot. The support beams at the end of the catwalk were hit. They were behind where the four Univengers were standing. The two beams exploded and the platform tipped over as the four heroes fell back. Doctor Doom activated his hover boots immediately after the explosion.
"Woah!", yelled Letty. Spider-Man's quick reflexes prompted him to make a web net that connected from the fake trees. They landed on the net fifteen feet above the flume. Von Doom pointed at two other beams each. A red, fiery laser shot out of his finger and obliterated the two beams. The catwalk fell towards the net. E.T. telekinetically grabbed hold of it and threw it back to the doctor. Doom punched the platform out of his way with one swipe of the arm and it fell on the Pirate T-Rex animatronic. Once on impact, the T-Rex got knocked down into the flume. The water short-circuited the animatronic and his dialogue warbled as he malfunctioned. The animatronic caused the motion sensors to stop the water jets and the vehicles came to a standstill. One boat stopped just as it entered the room when the chaos ensued. One of the Doombots hovered over the heroes and a nozzle appeared from under its wrist. Gasoline started pouring out from it and the liquid came raining down on them. Harry acted fast and cast a silver shield with his wand. It covered the whole group but they were not safe for long. The hovering Doombot's other hand pointed its finger at the gasoline and set it ablaze. The burning gas poured down from the shield onto the web. The hotter it got, the looser it became. Finally, the web broke and the group fell into the flume. Splash! They were in the water but the flames started to surround them. Spider-Man web-grabbed the nearest fake tree to his left and frantically pulled himself out onto the floor. He then web-grabbed Letty to pull her out and E.T. next. While all this was happening, Harry used an extinguishing charm to try and put out the surrounding fire. It was working, but very slowly. Spider-Man web-pulled Harry out. A man and a woman sitting in the stopped boat in the back got out of their boat and ran to the left. The flume in the room still had flames but they were reduced. The sprinkler system was turned on.
