Dark Rain: Part Two

[Beta Ray Bill]

Koal and Doom's damaged metal boots paced through the cobble stone hallway in the fortress known as Cinderstone. It had only been a few hours since the duo had brutally beaten and killed the raider leader Nisha, their wounds were still very fresh. The only thing that lit both the Demon and the monarchs path through the dark deep black stone walls and ash dusted floors was illumination of oil wooden oil coated touches. Both men proceeded through each corner, archway and hallway will vigilance and caution ready for any sign of a surprise attack from the left over raider, if there was any more left at all. 

It was a rarity that Doom had worked with anyone, he had much preferred to work alone. Working alone kept the trouble of betrayal and impatience, it also meant that he did not have to share his hunger for power with those who were ever always below him. This alliance with Koal though was purely a wise course of decision, ego shattering and honestly without the boys help Doom would have been stuck working with barbaric raiders for a lifetime. Doom put that thought in the back of his head, Doctor Doom needing help was preposterous on many levels to his egotistical mindset. 

The pieces are falling together, soon the need of allies will be enough that I Doctor Doom will rule this realm of reality and possibly the multiverse. Once the gathering of this Omniverse's most notorious villains are at the side of Doom only then will there be a need of an army, people, and land to rule. The land I will rule with an iron fist shall be Latveria, a new Latveria, with the following of my allies and army only then will the country shall be one the most powerful kingdom of all verses. All of this shall come in time for destiny and fate shall guide Doctor Doom's rise to power. 

Proceeding through even more dark ominous hallways of the fort for a few more hours Koal came to a stop near arching corridor and pulled the map he had found an hour ago, Doom almost immediately following the same as Koal. Towering over Koal he folded his damaged metal arms patiently waiting for Koal to say something, his shredded green cloak flowing up every now and then from the small wind that drifted through the stone fort.   

"Why have we stopped?" Doom said putting his left hand on his metal masks chin. 

Koal shot his head up from reading the map. "The map shows that we're close to the storage room." 

Doom took a few steps closer to Koal clapping his metal hands together. "Excellent the sooner we get the materials needed the faster this armor can be replaced." 

Koal folded the map back up and pocketed it. "About that, I'm going to ask you to aid me with the creation of my own armor." 

Doom placed his metal right hand on his masks chin in deep thought and with long sigh he mustered a reply. "Indeed Doom can help you with such matters and only once will Doom agree to this." 

The sound of blades unsheathing startled Koal causing his to spin around yanking out his larger sword from the sheath on his back. Both of the men had been surrounded, there were at least five raider each carrying blades ready to kill. one of raiders stepped forward to the duo, he was probably the only one man enough to at least approach them and speak.

"Like anything you say is going to happen, you should have left this place after what you did, now were going to kill you both!" The raider shouted pointing his sword at Koal and Doom. 

Instantly as the man shouted he and another men on his left charged for Doom while the other three went after Koal. Charging electricity through his body Doom aimed his right hand at the first raider rushing for him. Green bolts of lightning coursed through  his finger tips, the arcing bolts crashed into the raider sending thousands of volts through his body as he instantly died stumbling to the ground.  The other raider trying attack Doom's  left flank was unmercifully blasted by one of Doom's yellow plasmic energy blasts. The blast sent him smashing into the black cobblestone wall beside him. The other three raiders tried to gang up on Koal but they weren't  fast enough to doge his great sword. The long blade cleanly cut all three of them in half from their wast, blood pouring out of their corpses creating a pool of crimson red. 

Doctor Doom placed both of his metal hands on his hips taking few deep breaths. "Now with no further interruptions let us take what is required from the storage room."

After gathering the materials needed Doctor Doom and Koal spent hours near a forge they hand found out side the fort and began to craft the new armors. Hammering, drilling, quenching, soldering, and threading, piece by piece, spell by spell their armors were put together. Doom's new armor's body was now mostly midnight black and the parts the weren't were silver, his new gauntlets were shaped to resemble claws and at the center of the palms holes were drilled out and added with technology that closely looked like his enemy Iron Man's arc reactor blasters. the technology its self was created to add Doctor Doom with charging of his energy blasts. A similar hole was also located on Doom's chest piece. The piece glowed green and was the most important besides his newly crafted silver metal mask, the piece its self powered the entire armor. Doom had also threaded and knitted a new green cloak that flowed all the way down to his silver metal feet and sleeved his metal arms, the top end pieces of the cloak were pointed up the same way as Dracula's cape did in the movies, the cloak had also hooded over Doom's mask. 

Koal's armor its self was black all over with a flowing cape and hood. The armor had heavy ebony pauldrons, scaled boots, and clawed gauntlets.  

After a few more hours of figuring their new armor and add the necessary equipment and touches to it, they were set and ready for anything that the Omniveres could throw at them. 

Doom approached Koal now in his own refashioned design, Doom's  large green cloak flowing in the ashy wind and his voice was ever more deeper and metallic then it had ever been.  

"From this day forward you shall be known as general Lynch of the Latverian army and together we shall rule this Omniverse with an Iron fist! Our first step now is to leave this place and follow my armors tracking system and retrieve my Doombot." Doom said his arms raised to praise his new ally.  

"After we find your machine then what do we do?"  Koal said his arms folded and his mind in deep thought. 

"Then we gather an alliance of men and women that have similar goals and ideals as you and I, our alliance shall be known as the Dark Reign, the Cabal. Come our time of departure is now."
