Chapter 221: The Fantastic Four

[3rd POV]

"Help save the world? What could possibly be threatening the world that we'd be able to help with?" Reed asked, alarmed. He tended to keep an eye out for world ending disasters, but this was the first of hearing of a new one.

"It's your mind, Reed. You are one of the smartest men in this universe, and that mind of yours might be a great boon to the work needed to be done, alongside Tony Stark who is already working with us in stopping it. I also will need the firepower of Johnny, and the defense of Sue. Sue will be the last line of defense should all else fail, her power is strong enough to block at least a few blows of the being that will destroy this place, while Johnny might be able to actually harm them" Gwen explained to the skeptical man.

The man listened to her explanation. Hearing that the world was genuinely ending, and that they would be needed in order to stop it was...worrying, very very worrying. Anyone would react to the fact that the world was ending in a...not very good manner, but Reed wasn't most people, so he tried his best to remain calm upon hearing this new information.

"What is the threat to the world? Who is causing it?" Reed asked, wishing to get all the information he could. Especially since he was now going to be part of this fight against whatever was threatening the world. The second he heard that the world would end, he knew he'd be helping, with or without the acceptance of others.

"An intergalactic force given form. His name is Galactus, the eater of worlds. His entire mission in life is to consume worlds with sentient life, in order to keep the universe in balance, so that it will not be overwhelmed with too much life, too many people. It is for this reason why he is coming to consume Earth, but at the same time, he CANNOT be killed or imprisoned. Instead we must beat him in battle, and send him fleeing" Gwen explained to the man, who was looking at her with all of his focus on her words.

"...How large is this Galactus, if he can consume the planet?"

"Larger than planets. He lives within, and travels within a solar system sized ship. He is large enough that it will require heavy firepower to even make him flinch. Even besides that, he is incredibly powerful, as he utilizes something called the "Power Cosmic" an incredibly powerful form of energy that is capable of warping matter and doing just about anything he wants. But, it requires him to consume planets, the longer he goes without consuming planets and the hungrier he gets, the weaker he gets" Gwen explained, knowing that all information was important for Reed.

"What of countermeasures? Have you come up with any? Perhaps we can use some sort of orbital cannon that can harm him, or perhaps an energy field that can counter his power cosmic, or even absorb it" Reed thought out loud, as Gwen chuckled.

"You truly are one of the smartest, huh? I've already created several orbital cannons and even the energy fields as you have dubbed them. But, the energy fields need time in order to absorb his power, time that will be gained by heroes around the world fighting against him alongside myself and the orbital cannons. It is for that reason that Johnny will need to help in the battle, and Sue will be needed to protect Earth should anything happen" Gwen responded.

"Where could you have possibly gotten the materials required for such an endeavor? Not to mention the amount of time needed to even accomplish such a massive undertaking!" Reed exclaimed in surprise, not expecting for the ideas he had to already be finished.

"Let's just say that I've got a lot of resources, more than enough to create thousands of orbital cannons. But I've only been able to make 50, alongside a handful of energy fields. But even that won't do much against Galactus, who can annihilate stars and solar systems even when weakened" Gwen responded, not wanting to tell him about Malzif just yet, as it wasn't needed until later.

Before Reed could respond, the door to his lab opened, as Sue poked her head in, only for her eyes to widen slightly upon seeing Gwen.

"Reed, who is this? How did she get in here without any of us noticing?" Sue asked in alarm, raising her voice slightly that caused Ben and Johnny to walk over, only for them both to look just as alarmed as she was upon seeing the unknown woman in front of them.

Glancing at Reed, Gwen gave him a nod as he began.

"So you're saying a massive planet sized man is coming to consume Earth? And that you need our help in order to stop him? That you need me to help stop him?" Sue asked, sitting down alongside her fellow Fantastic 4 members who were silent.

"How can we even believe you? What's to say you aren't lying to us?" Johnny asked, as he was serious for once. Usually he was quite the...jokester, but right now he was being serious and had a frown on his face.

"What reason would I have to lie to you? The world itself is in danger, there's no point in lying. And you have something wrong here, I do not NEED your help, but it would certainly be useful. I already have the Avengers, I already have the X-Men, I already have SHIELD, and I already have tens of thousands more ready to help fight against him. Trust me, I've got no reason to lie" Gwen responded, she wasn't mad at the guy for what he said, but she wasn't going to allow him to think that she was entirely depending on them or anything.

She already had other Reed Richards, other Johnny's, other Sue's, and other Ben's working with her, Mutant and Inhumans version of them, just as strong and smart as them, some of them even smarter and even stronger. This was more so to make it even easier on her.

And if it truly came to it, she could always pull out Project Rebirth.

"She isn't lying Johnny. She has no reason to. And with the conviction she is speaking with, I trust that she is telling the truth. I'll be helping her with or without all of you, but I do hope that you trust in my judgement and join us in working to stop this Galactus" Reed said as Johnny went silent.

"I'll work with you" Sue said giving him a nod, as Reed smiled.

"I'll help out too. But I doubt I can do much, might just have to stay on Earth and help out here while you guys deal with the big lug" Ben added, as Reed's smile went higher.

"...Fine fine, I'll help out. But in return I want a da-" "I'm lesbian and have a girlfriend, so don't even finish that sentence" Gwen cut him off bluntly as Johnny full blown pouted.

"Alright Alright I'll help for free, guess even I can be charitable" Johnny grumbled, causing Sue to roll her eyes at her brother, while Reed looked to Gwen.

"So..where do we start?"

____________________________

Gwen had left the group later, leaving behind a clone to work with them. She had left the clone to train Sue and Johnny in using their powers to a higher degree, as well as a second one to work with Reed in creating more items that can stop Galactus or at least make him slow down a bit.

While they were helping out with the Fantastic 4, Gwen created another clone that would begin working on another backup plan should Galactus break through.

"Project World Transfer" which was the project that would allow for the perfect teleportation and transportation of Earth into a pocket dimension, in which it would be stored until Galactus would leave or be defeated. At the same time the Gravity of the Solar System would be stabilized using artificial gravity fields and a whole lot of magic.

Her backup plan that she would utilize before that, was project "Dimension Queen" which would be her clone taking over during the fight against Galactus, while the real Gwen went and became the ruler of as many dimensions as she could, utilizing clones to take them and keep them.

She had begun to make a list of dimensions without a ruler, or dimensions with a weak enough ruler that she could realistically take it over. Dimensions like the Lightforce dimension, Negative Zone, and several others.

But at the moment, the real Gwen was back on Mars, as she stared at the screen in front of her, looking over her otherworldly quests and her options, before stopping on one that would massively boost her power, and might just give her the capabilities needed to defeat Galactus, and even battle against Knull when he eventually appears in person.

As she looked at the Otherworldly quest, Gwen breathed in deeply, as she selected the quest, and had one last thought on her mind.

'Lets hope this goes well'

For the first time in a long time, Gwen was almost hesitant as she disappeared...

For in the Grim Darkness of the Far Future...

THERE IS ONLY WAR

___________________________________________

That's the end of the chapter!

And so begins the mini arc in...Warhammer 40k!

Yeah, Gwen has gotten a little worried about the idea of actually losing against Galactus, so she's going all out. And Warhammer houses several entities that will give her the power needed to fight back against Galactus, at least better than before.

The arc in Warhammer will last 2-4 chapters, and will be...a bit hard to write as my knowledge on Warhammer is NOT perfect. And since it is an Otherworldly quest...you can expect this version of Warhammer to be a lot more...dark than normal.

Anyways, have a good day!
