Season X, Week 4: Better Than All of You vs The Empire



Better than all of you is: Mogo, Ego, Metroplex, Cosmic Spiderman, Exitar the Exterminator, Trinity and Morpheus in a Stealth X Wing, Dark Phoenix, Archangel, Agamemnon

The Empire is: Galactus and Nova, Silver Surfer, Full Spectrum Kyle Raynor, Sky Lynx, Obi Wan Kenobi w/ Obi Wan’s Star Fighter, Surtur, The Eradicator, Mephisto, Deathstroke, Ares, Black Queen

The Silver Surfer and Kyle Raynor scan the vast cosmos of the Milky Way. Nearby, the lifeless remains of the rest of The Betters and their Empire teammates float aimlessly on a sea of nothing. Raynor, recently exhausted, is now refreshed after besting Mogo and draining the planet of its lifeforce. It wasn’t an easy task but with the assistance of Galactus and Nova, who helped before Dark Phoenix and Exitar defeated them, the job was a bit lighter.

He senses Ego, their last opponent still very much alive and in relative closeness only four light minutes away. As the Silver Surfer follows Raynor into battle, Radd has time to reflect on the monumental task still at hand and begins to doubt his abilities to help. He shakes off the feeling and returns his focus to the present.

The Surfer feels the shock wave hit him as Raynor and Ego smash into each other at velocities nearing the speed of light. Naturally, he is amped and crouches low on the deck, moves to the rail of his board and rides that gnarly wave crest before kicking out to check on his teammate. He can see that the collision has knocked them both unconscious and also has torn a hole in the fabric of space where the tiniest of black holes is starting to form. As the Surfer races closer the he can feel the pull getting stronger as the maw begins to widen, ready to devour them all. He gets to Raynor and tries his hardest to surf out but the pull begins to slow his progress until he is not only halted but starts to pull backward.

Raynor regains consciousness and immediately recognizing the predicament they find themselves in. Finding the only source of matter nearby, a recently awoken Ego who is unable to slow his descent into the black hole. Raynor aims his ring directly at Ego and with all force he can summon, directs a beam of energy that powers the two of them out of unforgiving gravitational hold while burying Ego in the bottomless void.
