FADE TO Baxter Building
Reed is aware of the impending danger and tries to alert the rest of the team via telecom. Ben and Johnny are still in front of the grocery store, while Sue is the the recreational facility located in the Baxter Building.
Reed: Team, I'm sure you've realised that something isn't right
already.
Johnny: If that isn't the understatment of the decade...
Reed: Wait, Johnny you mean you have a visual on what's going on?
Johnny: More like front row seats. It's crazy out here, Doc.
Reed: Johnny, since you don't have the Fantastiflare with you, you'll have to use your powers to give us your present location.
Johnny: Uh, how about 31st and Lexington.
Reed: That will do
Johnny: And I thought you were supposed to be the genius. Storm out.
He severs the connection.
Reed: Sue, I need you here ASAP.
Sue: Oh, now you want to talk to me.
Reed: I'm sorry hon, but we really don't have time for this. I believe that the fate of the universe may be compromised if we don't act soon
CUT TO 31st and Lexington
The Silohouette is now visible. Beyond the clouds coming majestically is a radiant being, emblazoned in silver seeming to shine like the very sun itself. A being known to the celestial world as the SILVER SURFER. He comes riding down on his surfboard of which he has a telepathic and telekenetic link with. This cosmic being can be seeing from various places in the Northern Hemisphere, so much so that people confuse this event as the 2nd coming of Christ. (Cut to scenes in countries where S.S is visible, and show people exclaiming "Christ" in various languages"😉
Cut back to 31st and Lexington
Johnny: Okay, so it's not a bird, and it's not a plane.....
Ben: Then what the hell is it?
Johnny: I'm not waiting to find out. FLAME ON!
Johnny Storm goes into flame form as if you challenge the Surfer.
Surfer descends quickly from the high altitudes in the blink of an eye. He doesn't even pay Johnny any mind.
Silver Surfer: Terrans. Earth Dwellars. I am Norrin Radd of the planet Zen-La, known to the gods and cosmos as the Silver Surfer. I am the herald of a powerful and mighty being known to those who need to know as Galactus. I found your tiny world while faring the farthest corners of your known universe. I have powers incomprehensible to the mightiest beings on your planet. I bring you not a warning, but a message- a message of doom and destruction for my master comes in 2 earth hours to devour all that is on this planet. Know that he does not hate you earth creatures, but he needs the abundance resources of your planet for sustinence. He is very weak and needs it to survive. I am hear to ensure he does just that.
Johnny flies towards him.
Johnny Storm: Pretty verbose speech for a talking stapler. If my chemistry serves me right, I know the melting point I need to melt your silver ass.
Silver Surfer: Your mention of chemistry is amusing fire creature. I can manipulate you with very little trouble. Behold!
Surfer takes all the fire from Johnny's body and holds it in the palm of his hand, in a boastful manner. Johnny falls to the ground.
Silver Surfer: Resistance, as you know, is futile.
Johnny is caught by thing. He is weakened by his ordeal.
Johnny: Thanks, Ben. Now all I need is some clothes.
Ben: Don't mention it kiddo. We're a team, no matter how much you piss me off. [Turns to Surfer] Listen tin-man, noone, and I mean noone messes with the kid apart from me. IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!
Silver Surfer accepts Thing's challenge and flies to the ground.
Surfer: As us wish Terran.
Thing cocks back his fist, and punches Surfer as hard as he can. No effect whatsoever. Surfer stands his ground and mocks him by yawning. Surfer then punches Thing 4 blocks away.
Surfer: It seems 2hrs is too long. Is there anyone else who wishes to stand in my way?
Enter Reed Richards and Sue Richards, wearing their team uniforms
Reed: Actually yes.
Surfer: So be it.
Sue: I hope you know what you're doing Reed.
Reed: Too late to answer that question
Reed pulls out a small, concealed weapon and fires a charged particle beam at Surfer. He could could have easily dodged it, but he absorbs it to show they have no effect on him.
Surfer: Fools, I AM energy. You'll have to do better than that "Reed".
Sue: Great, he's powerful and sarcastic. It's like Johnny with ten times as much power.
Reed: Try a hundred-thousand. His powers are reading like nothing I've ever seen before.
Surfer: Stop this idle talk, and prepare for your demise Terrans.
All the while news crews have gathered around, filming all that is going on.
Sue: I never knew the great Reed Richards would lose with an hour of preparation. Wait, how about I try cutting off his oxygen supply.
She places an invisible bubble over his head in an attempt to suffocate him. It has zero effect.
Surfer: Clever attack earth-woman, but of little effect to someone who can survive in the vacuum of space. Please, you begin to bore me. I think I should destroy you all now.
Reed: [To sue]I hate to say it but there's very little we can do..
Sue: Watch out!!
Surfer sends beams of concussive force at Reed, which Sue deflects. He then fires some at her for her insolence. She reflects it back at him, knocking him down momentarily. This only angers him more. Surfer's eyes start to glow a bright red.
Surfer: Infidels. You presume to hurt me? Feel my wrath.
He sends a beam towards Reed with his left hand; Reed inflates his body into a donut shape, and the beam goes directly through him. Surfer then focuses his attention on Sue, thinking Reed defeated. He fires a long beam at her which she absorbs with an invisible barrier..he continues to fire the same beam, and as the seconds pass by, the barrier gets weaker and weaker.
Sue: R-R-R-eed...I-I-Need....
Reed: Save your breath honny.
Reed with the fully charged particle beam in his hand fires it at Surfer. She sheer momentum of the force knocks him into a bar; the same bar Alicia Masters happens to be in. All the people in bar have been watching the mayhem from inside in terror. They are frightened by Surfers presence. They all back into a corner.
Surfer facing the people in the bar
Surfer: Cowards! (He raises his hand as if to destroy them)
Alicia Masters: No!!
Surfer: And you are?
Alicia: I am a friend of the people you're fighting outside right now.
Surfer: Then you shall die with them.
Alicia: No, please. We don't mean any harm at all.
Surfer: It isn't a question of ethics, it's a question of survival for my master.
Alicia walks closer to him, showing no fear now
Alicia: What kind of master advocates the death of innocent lives? What kind of master has no compassion for human life? If there is an ounce of humanity in you, you will see that. I'm a good person, my friends are good people. Do we deserve this?
Surfer: The concept of good and evil mean little to me. They are vague concepts contrived by your feeble reality.
Alicia: Exactly. Our Reality. They mean something in our world. Good people don't deserve to die here. Look into your heart..if you have one.
Surfer looks intently at Alicia, then goes into a trance like state. He is using his telepathy to see the inner workings of her mind. He sees a past of hurt, of struggle and ultimate perseverance. He sees that her heart is incredibly pure. He puts his head down, almost shedding a tear. It reminds him vaguely of his life in Zenn-La.
Alicia: Please, sir..
She comes and touches his ice cold body. A perplexed look across her face.
Alicia: Please, spare our world.
Surfer walks out of the bar, Alicia following and then the rest of the people in the bar. Surfer looks into the heavens. The other people around him are confused by this.
Surfer: It it my Master......He comes.
Alicia puts her hand on his shoulder.
Alicia: Then help us, persuade him to spare our world.
Ben Grimm just arrives, and Johnny comes to his senses. They too stare at the Surfer confused.
Surfer: I'm afraid that isn't possible. There has only been one such encounter when my master spared a world. That was when I sacrificed myself to save my own planet, to become this emotionless being......He's here.
THE ENTIRE EARTH SHAKES. LOUD RUMBLES ARE HEARD ALL OVER THE WORLD
