Sue drops back down near Ben.
"They've stopped short of leaving the atmosphere. If we can find an open phone line, we could notify the Aven-"
(looks at Sally)
"What do you mean, ask for our help?"

"The Fantastic Four are enemies of the Skrull Empire. You wouldn't help us!" Sally Heck proclaims. "Our Empress R'Klll, our beloved Princess Anelle, seven billion skrulls, would still be alive, but for the actions of your Reed Richards!" As if on cue, Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch enter the hanger, where they see Sally Flack supporting an injured skrull and berating Ben and Sue. The Shiar recently put Reed Richards on trial for his 'crime' of saving Galactus's life.* Mr. Fantastic was judged not guilty by Odin, Eternity and Lilandra... but apparently some skrulls still hold a grudge. *FF #262 roxolidHuman Torch's Health: 40/60 Human Torch's Karma: 16 crisiscomicsInvisible Girl's Health: 46/46 Invisible Girl's Karma: 10 UrbanBlueMr. Fantastic Health: 6/42 Mr. Fantastic Karma: 110 Hoots RowletThing Health: 45/200 Thing Karma: 26 |

"Yeah so now instead of just seven billion Skrulls, now everyone in the universe is gonna die because you killed Galactus!" Ben yells. "Yo Stretch. The Skrulls are gonna try and kill Galactus in the past to save their own sorry butts."

"Galactus may be an unfortunately necessary part of the universe's administration, as it were, but he is still necessary. I regret the loss of life for the Skrulls, despite your many crimes here on Earth, but it is illogical to try to kill Galactus."

HUMAN TORCH
"Does anyone else feel like they wandered in half way through a movie or just me?" asks the Human Torch as he looks about. "Ben, please don't tell me you've made sense of all this otherwise I'd have to slightly raise my estimation of your intelligence..."

Sally eyes the Fantastic Four with scorn. "Of course it is illogical to destroy Galactus! That is not our mission. We will rescue the royal family prior to the destruction of Tarnax IV." She then turns to the Human Torch. "As to walking into the middle of something, that feeling is mutual. While your sister foiled my mission to gain access as Sally Heck, the damage to your roof and electrical outage made my task unnecessary." roxolidHuman Torch's Health: 40/60 Human Torch's Karma: 16 crisiscomicsInvisible Girl's Health: 46/46 Invisible Girl's Karma: 10 UrbanBlueMr. Fantastic Health: 6/42 Mr. Fantastic Karma: 110 Hoots RowletThing Health: 45/200 Thing Karma: 26 |

Ben just grumbles. "Well if that's all their is to it, I guess it's not our problem anymore." Ben says looking over at Reed wondering if there was any further reason for them to get involved. Ben's desire to clobber these jerks for breaking and entering aside.

HUMAN TORCH
"Isn't our mission - besides exploring and looking cool whilst scoring with hot chicks - to help people?" asked Johnny. "Maybe we should help these guys rescue the royal family from Galactus. Maybe we can even persuade big G to spare the place and find somewhere else. A second chance at saving billions of lives. Does Galactus owe you any favours Reed?"

"You're right Johnny. Enemies though they may normally be, we cannot turn our backs on them. But persuading someone like Galactus isn't going to be a walk in the park. Let me wrack my brain and I'll come up with something."

HUMAN TORCH
"I think the first step would be to use your time travel whatchamacallit and throw Ben through. If there's a trap on the other side tossing half a ton of bricks through a time portal should set it off and the bonus is if he lands on his head there'll be little to no damage. A plan with no major drawbacks." he said with chin in hand.
"besides all that, what the heck was all that about with the maze and the tanks and stuff earlier?" he asks of Sally Flack. "Was that you or someone else that set that up?"

As much as Sue would love to get wrapped up in another one of these cosmic escapades (she does feel bad about the consequences), something is still bugging her.
"If the power was gone before they arrived... Johnny, was there anyone else besides the Skrulls mulling about downstairs? Because when I tried to check on you two through the floor... I noticed this."
She turns that patch of the floor transparent again to show them the glue spots.

Reed and Johnny also saw the Fourth Level walls below are marked by blaster burns and large patches of glue. Sally says she doesn't know what the flack the Human Torch is talking about when he mentions mazes and tanks, but does share that some creep shot glue at her earlier. If not for her ability to change shape, her face would still be stuck to a wall on the level below. roxolidHuman Torch's Health: 40/60 Human Torch's Karma: 16 crisiscomicsInvisible Girl's Health: 46/46 Invisible Girl's Karma: 10 UrbanBlueMr. Fantastic Health: 6/42 Mr. Fantastic Karma: 110 Hoots RowletThing Health: 45/200 Thing Karma: 26 |

"Wait... Glue?" Ben asks. "Ah dammit. Paste Pot Pete is here now too!" Ben yells exasperated.
Ben proceeds to make his way down to the 4th floor, and attempt to track Trapster.

"Reed, wait!"
Sue is all set to confront the Trapster... but before she does, she directs their attention back to Sally Flack and the matter of the Skrulls. Sucking in a deep breath, she offers her view on the matter:
"Okay, Sally. I'll admit it. You got lucky and caught the Fantastic Four with their pants down. But if your mission is as crucial as Sk'yll says, then he should consider this- we saw Galactus's herald destroy the entire planet's armada aside at the trial*- she wouldn't hesitate to destroy you if she could. He may have the time machine, but how many soldiers can your captain afford to lose? What happens if he fails to save them- or worse, if Galactus notices that you're in possession of a time machine? You'll lose not only the device, but another captain and his crew.
But we've met Galactus- spoken with him, dealt with him- he's distracted when we're around. We have the combined power of the Super-Skrull. And whether or not he agrees with Lilandra's decision to pardon Reed, Sk'yll should know that my husband wants to make amends. If he gives us time to deal with the Building's intruders and rest up... then we'll use our power and resources to help you save the royal family."
