The Univengers: Reign of Doom

Chapter 13: The New Univengers

In Von Doom's aircraft, Letty was on the floor, unconscious. Storm looked out of the busted hole that Harry accidentally made. She saw that the Canadian woods in Toon Lagoon was still on fire. Von Doom was in the cockpit. Storm pointed her hands outside of the hole towards the sky. Jets of fog projectiled out of her hands. The fog started to spread and moved towards Toon Lagoon. Then, rain began to come down from the fog. Von Doom saw Storm creating the rain cloud. He crossed his arms.

"So this is the thanks I get. I take you in to protect you from a world that saw you as a freak, but since it's now overrun with them, perhaps you'd like to join them."

"I'm sorry, sir," said Storm.

"No," responded Von Doom. "This is my doing. I should've known better." To his right side, he rapidly pulled out a silver pistol from his gun holster. He fired a green laser and it hit the left side of Storm's stomach. The impact, pain, and shock pushed her out of the blasted hole, 184 feet into the water. She was struggling to swim and fly but she was able to see Toon Lagoon in the distance. She had to get to shore and find help.

The Univengers walked to the waterfront along with Popeye. Harry and E.T. were holding the coffin like earlier.

"Me apologies for Squeezy," said the sailor. "He's been takin' down lots of fishermen over the years."

"It has a name, huh?", said Spider-Man. "Cute." Optimus in truck form appeared from a left corner in the main street and drove to the waterfront. The group stopped walking and E.T. and Harry carefully placed the coffin down.

"Is everyone alright?", Optimus asked them.

"Yes," said Harry. "But, our uni-jet sank and Doom got away with Letty."

"Good news, everyone," Dudley Do-Right announced to the citizens. "The fire in the Canadian woods has been put out by a rain shower." Then, someone was walking weakly up to the Univengers. Storm. She was pressing on her wound with her left hand to cease the bleeding.

"Please," she gasped. "Help me. I've been shot." Storm collapsed on the ground and turned to lie on her back. E.T. hurried over to her. Harry briefly held out his hand to stop him. He remembered what she had done and was still suspicious.  E.T. saw Storm's wound and the tip of his left index finger glowed yellow. He pointed it to the wound and the blood began to flow back as the wound closed up. Storm looked at the creature that saved her. Despite the fact she attacked him and Harry twice, E.T. still helped this woman who they thought was still an enemy. She began to feel a great load of guilt and started to cry.

"I won't hurt you anymore." E.T. gave her a hug. The rest of the group's suspicions faded away. Storm stood up. "I'm sorry for everything I've done. Serving Doctor Doom was a mistake."

"It's alright," said Harry. "You're gone from him now." It was refreshing for Harry to meet someone who left an evil organization, unlike Draco Malfoy. "What's your name?", he asked.

"My name is Ororo Munroe but mostly everyone calls me Storm. Doctor Doom gave me that name. That is the only good thing he has brought to me." The wind started to pick up. Appearing from behind the buildings on the main street was an army helicopter but this one was brightly colored green and had more of a square shape to it. There were four doors on each side, and the back of it had a tail rotor. The cockpit had a door for each of the two seats. The helicopter was approaching close to where the Univengers were. The citizens of Toon Lagoon backed up to make space for it to land. The person piloting this aircraft was a young soldier who was about college age. He wore a green helmet that covered his eyes, had a few strands of hair sticking out from under the helmet, a round nose and ears, and an easy-going grin. He wore a green tactical shirt with his sleeves rolled up and green pants that matched the color of the helicopter. He had a grey shirt that peeked out from behind the tactical shirt and a large, dark green belt.  Woody was sitting to the right of this pilot. Once the helicopter landed and turned off its engines, Woody and the pilot walked out.
