Shattered Academia
In a dark corner of New York City, a familiar pair of supervillains are assembled in a hidden seafront hideaway, waiting for the other four members of their squad. A good hour had passed since the remaining four had gone, and sparks were literally flying as one of the current members was growing impatient.
"Dammit, what's takin' so long!?" exclaimed Electro. "The guys shoulda been back by now! At least I should've been one of the ones to go with em'!"
"Patience Electro," replied Dr. Octopus. "I just received word that Sandman and Mysterio are on their way back with the goods. Besides, I need you here to power up the device."
Ock motioned to a large machine that was seemed to be two giant metal rings connected by an electronic panel on the floor.
"A device that won't work anyway until the guys get back with the stuff you sent em' to get!" Electro snapped back.
Ock was about to respond before his attention was drawn to a nearby monitor that had started beeping.
"Well, looks like we won't have to wait much longer," Ock smirked. "They're back!"
Electro quickly flashed the mad doctor a twisted grin as the two went to greet their teammates.
[At the secret entrance]
From the moistened entry pod exited Sandman, Mysterio, Shocker and the Vulture.
"Welcome back gentlemen," Ock greeted. "I trust you all have retrieved the components i ordered you all to?"
Vulture revealed a small box while Mysterio 'materialized' a stone slab.
"Ahhh, excellent!" said a gleeful Doc Ock. "Am I to assume that you all had no...bug problems?" he asked.
"You got it Doc," replied Shocker. "No sign of the insect fam."
"Likewise," added Sandman.
Ock was glad to hear it, although he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He'd expected at least ONE of them to make an appearance. The fact that they hadn't appeared was...concerning to say the least.
"Still, we best not be too careful with those three around. Follow me." Ock made his way back to the hideout's lab, followed by the other five, where the device he'd been discussing earlier with Electro laid.
"Now my Sinister Six, we can finally start our Spider-Extermination," Doc Ock proclaimed.
"About that Doc," began Electro. "I get that Vulture and Shocker stole some tech thingy to make your machine work, but what is the machine, and why did Sandman and Mysterio have to steal some stupid rock?"
"This 'stupid rock' Electro, is the Tablet of Order and Chaos," said Mysterio. "I managed to get my hands on it once before, but HE thwarted me before I could even attempt to sell it," Mysterio clenched his fist recalling one of his more shameful losses to the Wall Crawler.
"However, following that brief moment it was in my possession, I learned that that tablet holds with it the ability to grant power to those who wield it, and those who already possess power, increase it." he finished.
"An increase?" asked an intrigued Electro.
"What kinda power we talkin'?" asked Shocker.
"The kind that makes a stage magician like myself into a true sorcerer that, given the opportunity, could probably match Dr. Strange!" Mysterio proclaimed.
"Wait. So you're telling me that you had this thing before, could perform REAL magic, and you STILL lost?" Sandman interjected.
"I only learned it after he'd already captured me!" argued Mysterio.
"ENOUGH!" yelled Vulture. "Regardless of whatever happened in all of our past battles with our great nemesis, this machine and the tablet will make sure that each of our previous defeats will be our last!"
Vulture opened the metal box and a grinning Ock grabbed the mechanism inside it with his tentacle. As he installed the piece into the machine, he began explaining the gizmo's purpose.
"You see boys, the machine that Adrien and I developed is specifically designed to drain the Tablet of it's mystical power," he began. "Once it's drained dry, we'll transfer an equal amount of it's power into each of us. Then, either on our own or united, the Sinister Six shall never fall again to the hands of...!"
"AHAHEM!"
Ock ceased his speech and all eyes turned towards the upper corner of the room.
"Umm, forgive me Doc, but I missed that last part. Would you mind repeating it so I can take some notes?"
"SPIDER-MAN!" Shouted the Sinister Six.
Sure enough, the friendly neighborhood arachnid hero leapt off his perch and somersaulted in front of his fearsome foes.
"You told me you guys hadn't encountered him!" yelled Ock.
"We didn't Doc, honest!" snapped Sandman.
"How'd you find us insect!?" demanded Electro.
"Simple, a little bug told me," Spider-Man replied.
"Dad, I told you not to call me that anymore!" shouted a female voice.
The Six looked to the side to see a young red haired girl in a black and blue costume and red handbag perched on an adjacent wall.
Spider-Man followed their gaze and chuckled. "Heh, sorry kiddo."
"The Bug Girl's here too?" exclaimed Shocker.
THWIP!
"Gah!"
Shocker was blasted in the face by a shot of webbing that appeared from seemingly nowhere.
"She's not the only one," chimed in another female voice.
Landing next to Spider-Man was a red haired woman, older than the girl, garbed in what could be described as a white and red version of Spider-Man's suit, sans the mask which only covered her eyes.
"Was wondering when you were gonna show up honey," said Spider-Man.
"Spider-Mom's here too?" Shocker exclaimed pulling the web off his face.
Facepalming, she harshly corrected Shocker. "For God's sake, it's SPINNERET! Geeze, 8 years on this gig, and people STILL can't get it right!"
"Ya know boys, it's in really poor taste to forget a lady's name," Spidey joked. "Now to answer your question, Spiderling just so HAPPENED to catch Sandy and Globehead making off with that rock and tailed you back here where she signaled us."
Doc Ock clenched his fists in irritation and grit his teeth as he let his bottom two tentacles lift him off the ground.
"Well boys, it looks like our Extermination plan is being moved up in the schedule."
The other members of the Six all prepped themselves for battle as Spiderling leapt over to her parents who crouched into fighting stances.
"Okay, there's three of us and six of them. Think you girls can handle two each?" Spider-Man asked.
"No problem Hon."
"Just watch me Dad!"
"Sinister Six, SEIZE THEM!" Ock ordered.
On that note, the Six charged at the Spider-Family who's first instinct was to jump away. Doc Ock and Electro went after Spider-Man while Mysterio and Sandman aimed for Spinneret, and Vulture and Shocker gunned for Spiderling.
[With Spiderling]
The young heroine ran across the walls as Shocker fired blast after vibrating blast at her.
"God, your aim sucks," Spiderling taunted. "Yeaaa!"
The daughter of the webhead was forced to eat her words as she was pinned to the wall at the sleeves by one of Vulture's 'feathers'.
"Well, how about mine?" Vulture sneered.
"Ya got lucky old man," countered Spiderling.
"Huh, you can make fun of my aim all you want little lady, but you can bet I won't miss you at point blank!" Shocker pointed his gauntlets at Spiderling and they quickly began vibrating.
As he fired, Spiderling quickly back flipped and stuck her feet to the wall. Pulling her arms forward, her costume ripping where the she was pinned, she managed to free herself from Vulture's quills. Vulture quickly tried to follow up Shocker's attack but Annie was ready this time. Firing a web right in Vulture's face, she leapt onto the elderly criminal and vaulted over him, making him crash into the wall.
Using her momentum, Annie launched a fierce two footed divekick at Shocker, nailing him right in the face and knocking him out cold.
"Sweet."
Spiderling couldn't admire her handiwork for long. A the sounds of battle raged on, she fired a web to the ceiling and swung over to backup her mother.
[With Spinneret]
Mysterio approached Spinneret, surrounding her with a thick fog. "I can finally pay you back for that battle in the subway!"
The White Clad wall crawler raised an eyebrow. "You're still holding a grudge for that? That was YEARS ago!" she replied firing a web at him.
The web passed straight through the illusionist as she was soon struck from behind.
"It doesn't matter how long ago it was. No one in our community's EVER let me live it down! And I still have scars from getting crushed by that subway car you threw at me!" Mysterio exclaimed.
"Quit yer yappin' and kill her already!" Sandman shouted. Transforming his hand into a large spiked ball, he swung downwards at Spinneret who quickly somersaulted away from the attack.
She continued to flip and roll forward as Sandman continuously tried to grab her by extending his sandy limbs. A feat that was made much more difficult by the thick blanket of smoke that Mysterio was producing.
Spinneret couldn't help but let out a small string of coughs as she navigated through the smoke. Though her vision was skewered, thanks to her 'borrowed Spider-Sense' she could still clearly make out a figure appearing in the mist.
'What I'd give for a full strength Spider-Sense,' MJ thought.
Almost instinctively she threw a fierce punch at the figure who quickly avoided it and brought their hands up defensively.
"Mom wait, it's me!"
"Spiderling?"
Through the smoke, the young spider girl appeared before Spinneret, looking completely unscathed.
Spinneret dropped her defensive stance as her daughter quickly approached her. But right before she got too close, Spinneret threw a hard punch right into Spiderling's gut causing her to keel over.
"Nice try." Taunted Spinneret.
"How...did you know?" 'Spiderling' asked.
"It's not as strong as my husband or daughter's, but I DO have a Spider-Sense...Mysterio!" Spinneret answered.
"I don't...feel so good..." In the next instance, Spiderling's form quickly deteriorated and transformed into Mysterio who fell to the ground clutching his stomach.
"Hmph. I'm not falling for those illusions again," she said under her breath.
While she was still collecting herself, a large shadow appeared over Spinneret and attempted to completely envelop her. Before she could react however, something attached to her shoulder and yanked her aside.
As Spinneret stumbled to the floor, safely away from Sandman's attack, Spiderling quickly appeared in between the villains and her mother.
"Mom are you okay?" Annie asked.
"Spider...wait, are you really my daughter or are you a leftover illusion?"
"I just saved you didn't I? Plus I got you that blue hat and scarf for Mother's Day,"she grinned.
"Okay, you're real, now heads up!"
Spiderling turned to see a sandy hammer coming down above her. Flipping forward, she launched herself into Sandman who split himself apart to avoid her attack. As Spiderling flew through Sandman's body, Spinneret quickly followed up by shooting a large mass of webbing over Sandman's body before he could reform. It seemed to be working as he struggled to break free of the sticky substance and pull himself back together.
With Sandman distracted for now, the two women swung over to Spider-Man who looked to be having a little trouble himself.
[With Spider-Man]
Spider-Man backflipped away from Ock's striking tentacles while Electro quickly advanced on him.
"The Doc had a good plan, but I don't need no stinkin' rock to fry you!" Electro proclaimed. Charging electricity in his hand, Electro fired a lightning bolt at Spider-Man that he narrowly dodged.
Spidey quickly leapt onto the nearby wall just as Ock made another attempt to grab him. As Spidey worked to dodge Ock, his Spider-Sense flared up to alert him of Electro darting at him with an electrified fist.
Unable to avoid Electro's attack, Spider-Man was knocked back into Ock's waiting grip where his metallic tentacle wrapped around his waist while two of his free tentacles went to restrain his arms. Electro quickly zipped besides Ock and let out a triumphant laugh.
"Checkmate Spider-Man. This time, there's no escape!" Ock taunted.
"Not today Science Squid!...That sounded cooler in my head..."
Ock and Electro turned to see Spiderling and Spinneret heading their way. Ock quickly released two of his tentacles off of the aching Spider-Man's arms and launched them at the two female Spiders who bounded off of each other to avoid Ock's incoming appendages.
While Ock was busy with the girls, Spider-Man took the moment to try and spring himself, but was halted by Electro grabbing him by the wrist.
"Nah, uh, uh. You ain't goin' NOWHERE!" Electro's free hand sparked with power as he threateningly waved it in front of Spidey's face.
"You wanna live long enough to see your girls bite the dust, you're gonna stay right where you are!"
"Can I just say one thing first?" Spidey asked.
"What?"
Spider-Man fired a webline and managed to snag Electro's hand. Summoning all the strength he could in his restrained position, he forcibly pulled Electro's hand down onto Ock's tentacle zapping both him and Ock.
Electro quickly retreated as Dr. Octopus fell to the ground unconscious, followed by Spider-Man who was notably dazed.
"You actually do make a darn good 'Bug Zapper'," Spider-Man joked.
"You're damn right and now I'll-!" Electro was silenced by webbing hitting him in the mouth, then the eyes. Before he could attempt to free himself he was kicked in the stomach by the two lady spiders.
Before Electro could fully pull himself together, he found himself stuck to the floor courtesy of more webbing. Though he struggled to try and blast himself free, the webbing wouldn't come off.
"How do you like our new 'Extra Strength' insulated webbing?" asked an approaching Spider-Man.
"Mmmmmph!" growled the muffled Electro.
"I'm gonna take that as a 'It's pretty cool'," Spidey joked. "Either way Electro..."
"Dad...please don't say it..." begged Spiderling.
"Lights out!"
FWAM!
Spider-Man threw a hard fist into Electro's face knocking him out.
'Aaaand, he says it,' lamented a facepalming Annie.
"Come on girls, we're not done just yet."
As Electro fell unconscious, the Spider-Family darted back to Sandman. Just as the shapeshifting criminal finally started to free himself from Spinneret's earlier web prison, all three spiders covered him with a fresh new coat of webbing until he finally stopped struggling.
"Man...I hate wasting soooo much webbing on a single guy like this," Spidey lamented as he and Spinneret started replacing their cartridges.
"I hate having to fight like this on our family movie nights," Spinneret added. "I was looking forward to just relaxing at home, especially after how crazy work was today."
"Well at the very least, you can't say fighting these guys isn't a great stress reliever," joked Spiderling.
"Fighting random goons maybe, but actual named villains can cause more stress than relieve it."
Spiderling couldn't help but chuckle, but her laughter was ceased by her Spider-Sense going off. This time however, it wasn't the usual tingle, her entire head started straining as a vision played out in her mind.
"Well, once we finish webbing these guys up, the cops can take it from there and we can call it a night. Right girls?" said Spider-Man.
"Let's go."
As Spider-Man and Spinneret went to Doc Ock and Shocker respectively, Spiderling remained still clutching her head as the vision played out.
[SS Vision]
Mysterio with the Tablet of Order and Chaos in hand, absorbs some of it's power and fires off a magic spell at the three of them trapping them together.
[Vision End]
"Spiderling? Spiderling!?" came the voice of Spinneret
"Annie, are you okay?" Spider-Man asked.
"This is no time for lame jokes, Dad!" Spiderling snapped.
"I was legitimately asking that time."
Spiderling turned back into the heart of the base to see Mysterio slinking his way towards the long forgotten Tablet.
"No you don't!"
"Spiderling, wait!"
The webhead's warning came too late as Spiderling took off after Mysterio who just managed to grab the Tablet.
"It's mine!"
"Like Hell!"
Spiderling leapt up and threw a flying punch at Mysterio who instinctively raised up the Tablet to shield himself. Annie's attack struck the tablet, shattering it to pieces in an explosion of eerie green light.
"NOOOOO!" the heroes and villain all shouted.
As some of the fragments flew out of anyone's range, some of them flew out and struck the unconscious Sinister Six members, stirring a few of them, mainly Doc Ock, Shocker and Vulture from their slumber.
As the villains began to wake up, they also began to seemingly vanish.
"You'll pay for this Spiders!" Mysterio said before he and the other Sinister Six members disappeared.
Once the light died down and all the proverbial dust cleared, stood there completely confused.
"Well...that was freaky."
She turned to see her parents bounding towards her and neither of them looked too pleased. 'Oh great.'
"I know what you're gonna say, and I just want you to know that I only did that because I had a Spider-Sense Flash," Annie defended.
"I don't blame you for that cause admittedly, I probably would've done something similar in that situation," Spidey shamefully admitted. "But that doesn't mean we can't still be upset that it did happen."
"Well...the Sinister Six got away, and the thing they stole is now in pieces. What else can go wrong?" asked MJ.
"More than you can imagine Mrs. Parker!"
The Spider family gasped as a new voiced echoed through the room.
"Uhhhh...Mom...Dad...you guys heard that right?" asked Spiderling.
"You mean the strange woman's voice echoing across the room?" said Spinneret.
"Good, so I'm NOT crazy."
As soon as the words left Annie's mouth, the Spider Family was enveloped in a thick purple fog.
"Dad, what's going on here!?"
Though Annie and MJ were notably cautious, Spider-Man looked suspiciously calm.
"Spider-Man?"
"Dad?"
"Calm down you two. It took me a sec to recognize, but I know whose voice that is," Spider-Man replied.
"What?"
"Glad you still remember me Spider-Man."
As the smoke cleared the trio were brought before an elderly woman clad in a long red dress with the image of a white spider going down and across it's length and a red visor over her eyes. Behind her seat was a large spider-web looking apparatus that in between each of it's openings were various different images.
"Madame Web, long time no see (As if this night wasn't freaky enough as is)."
"Honey...who's this?" asked Spinneret.
"Right, you've never formally met before. Annie, MJ, this is Madame Web." Spider-Man introduced.
"Dad! Names!"
"Calm down young Spiderling. I'm already well aware of your father's identity, and I'm more than capable of keeping secrets." Madame Web grinned.
"Oh...okay then."
"So...what cosmic tragedy brings us to you tonight MW?" Spidey asked.
"It involves the stone slab the Sinister Six stole."
"Can we cool it with alliterations?" Spiderling muttered.
"The Tablet of Order and Chaos is the most powerful of all the mystic artifacts in the world, and you," Madame Web glanced at Spiderling. "Young Ms. Parker, shattered it."
All eyes were now on Annie who nearly shrank under the grown ups' gazes and simply responded with a sheepish, "Hehe...oops."
"Guess they just don't make stone tablets like they used to," sighed Spider-Man.
"Is this really the time for jokes?" glared MJ.
"Now the pieces are fragmented, scattered across another dimension. A world of heroes, not unlike ours, but vastly different in numerous ways," Madame Web explained.
As Madame Web went about her explanation, Annie and MJ were glancing through Madame Web's...web where they saw various different Spider-Men and Women.
'Wait...is that me...in a Spider Iron Man suit?' Spinneret thought.
'That girl's...not me, right?...and why does Dad have a beard and moustache there?'
"Uhhh girls? You two listening?" Spider-Man asked.
"Focus!" snapped Madame Web. "Fortunately, the tablet's fragments have all landed into a single reality which only leaves the task of finding them."
"Let me guess, that's where we come in, right?" said Spider-Man.
"Correct, you and your family must recover the Tablet's fragments." replied Madame Web. "Not only that, it seems that when the Tablet Shattered, when it left this world, it took the Sinister Six with it," Madame Web added.
Spider-Man sighed. "And just when I thought this would be too easy."
"So...let me get this straight. We're travelling to another dimension to fight Dad's old enemies, and find pieces of a magic rock before the bad guys do?" Spiderling asked. "It's official: Best summer ever!"
"Umm, quick question, do we even have a choice in this?" asked MJ.
"Well, if you'd prefer, Annie could go to the other world alone," said Madame Web. "After all, she's the one who broke the tablet." replied a smug Madame Web.
"I'll DO IT!" Annie quickly accepted.
"ANNIE PARKER, NO YOU WON'T!"
"Well, then it's settled. Now come, we haven't any time to lose!"
With a wave of her arm, Madame Web enveloped the Spider Family in a thick blanket of pink smoke. When the smoke cleared, the trio of heroes found themselves in a city rooftop. That wouldn't be too strange except for a few key details: First, it was daytime. Second, there were billboards and ad-signs depicting costumed individuals that none of them recognized. Third, those same signs were in a foreign language that they could recognize as some sort of Asian characters.
"Ummmm...Annie, MJ..." said Spider-Man.
"Peter, I swear, if you say, 'I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore,' I'm going to hit you," replied MJ.
"Awww..." Spidey gave a defeated shrug as Annie let out a sigh of relief.
'Thank you, Mom.'
[Meanwhile]
Elsewhere in the city, a Mysterio clutched his head and shook off the dizziness as he shakily stumbled forward.
"Good lord...where am I?" Mysterio asked.
"That's the Million Dollar Question, Mysterio."
The illusionist whipped around to come face to face with none other than the Sinister Six's leader.
"Doctor Octavius."
Doc Ock slowly approached Mysterio, his tentacles menacingly reaching for him.
"Yes, and I'd like an explanation Beck, NOW!"
Both crooks froze as the sound of a siren filled the air. They may not have been in their own world, but dealing with cops on any world would be troublesome.
"Why don't I get us out of here first and then we'll figure out our next move," Mysterio suggested.
"Tsk, very well," Doc Ock huffed. "But first..." Ock stretched a tentacle back and grabbed the fragment of the tablet that had fallen off of Mysterio's person.
"We probably shouldn't forget our prize."
With the fragment in hand, Mysterio created a cloud of smoke and both he and Dr. Octopus vanished before a cop car passed by their position.
Who'd have guessed that a routine Night Patrol would go THIS awry? With our favorite web swinging heroes, anything's possible. Stay tuned as next time, The Spider-Family gets acquainted with the residents of this world and the heroes of this world get a taste of what Marvel's greatest can do.
(A/N: Here we go folks, my take on a Spider-Man/My Hero Academia crossover, but with a twist. On the Spider-Man side of things, in addition to being in the Renew Your Vows universe (post Time Skip, so Annie's 16), it's also based on Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions what with the Tablet of Order and Chaos (It's a good game, and I recommend it). I know I really, and I mean REALLY, shouldn't be starting another story, but hey, if you have a good idea, you might as well get it out there right? From the start of MHA, I've wondered what it'd be like if Spider-Man was a student or teacher at UA. Some fics have already explored that, but when I started reading RYV and the Timeskip happened, that thought steadily shifted over to Annie (who I hope gets a new codename in the near future. I like 'Spiderling' but yeah, I think she's outgrown it). So yeah, because it's no surprise to ANYONE, Annie will be joining the UA Class, but as for Spidey and MJ, I'm still working on what to do with them but I've got SOME ideas. How will The Spider Family react and adjust to the world of Quirks and Pro Heroes? It should be a blast)
PS: I'm probably going to regret this cause despite being in my Top 5 Anime/Manga, I don't think I'm a competent enough writer to keep true to MHA without horribly screwing SOMETHING up, but I'll do my best. Also, just a heads up...I don't like Bakugou...at all. I'm not gonna bash the kid, but you may want to be prepared for a bit of bias when he gets involved. One more thing, as of now, there are NO PAIRINGS planned, especially with Annie. I may change my mind down the road, but as of right now, none.
