Chapter 1
Darkness, its home appeared to be deep in space by Saturn's rings. It settled upon Hydra Island, a ship of metal and darkness, and a fortress fitting for its inhabitants. Inside the black and red ship hydra soldiers patrolled the halls. Each preforming they're job like a well-oiled machine. Inside a particular lab however an old man with robotic tentacles as appendages was not happy. Another plan was foiled yet again. A cycle of failures all revolving around one spider.
"WHY?!" He screams smashing any object within tentacle length. The objects were ranging for test tubes, un-finished technology and a clock that read 7:28. At that very moment another man had walked in. Arnim Zola, a man who's conscious could be put into any machine.
"Doctor Octavius, another mishap again?" He said laced with arrogance. The Doctor glared at Arnim not saying a word. "No matter, there someone I want you to meet Doctor. He has some very interesting things to share with us."
Next to Arnim Zola another man stepped out from the shadows. The intimidating man wore sliver and purple armour with green highlights. A purple steel helmet covered his face with a blue visor covering his eyes. In his right hand he held a gold and silver spear like staff encrusted with green gems.
"And who might you be?" Doctor Octavius asked with little interest in his voice. The man looked up at him not speaking a word. As if he was analysing the sight of the Doctor. The man than looked down at the clock that was discarded, clock now read 7:29.
"This is Doctor Octopus?" He asked unimpressed. "I was expecting you to be… well much more than this…"
"What was that…" He growled staring down the stranger. "I'd watch your mouth if I was you, cur."
"Why would I do that, monster?" The man mocked. The man had now rekindled the anger the Doctor felt only a minute ago. He lunged his metal tentacles at the man wanting to tear him apart. The clock struck 7:30.
Not a second had passed when the man had disappeared and re-appeared behind the Doctor. The staff resting upon his shoulder, the metal tentacles sliced into piece.
"What… WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Doctor Octopus screamed at the mysterious man.
The man didn't reply immediately. He turned slowly looking into the Doctor's eyes. "I trust your science is better than your fighting." The Doctor had looked like he'd taken enough embarrassment and was about to attack him again when the man spoke.
"I shouldn't complain though, if I wanted a stronger you I would've gone a little further in time. You are adequate for what I need." He said spinning his staff and planting it upright in front of him. "And I need help with a spider problem."
"A Spider problem?" Octavius repeated. "Who are you?"
"My name is Kang, Kang the Conqueror. I am from the 41st century and I have come to destroy the Avengers and kill Spider-man."
Light, its home was Earth, in this case, New York City where a web-slinging spider lives. The red and blue teenage leaped from building to building looking down up the city. The sun's rays made the city glitter like a gem. He is perched on the edge of a building watching the sunrise.
'Hey everyone, its your Ultimate friendly neighbour Spider-man here. I'm on my way to SHIELD academy where yours truly is student mentor. And totally stoked about what I have planned for everyone today.' He monologues inside his head. Siren snatched the wall-crawler's attention. Four men were attempting to rob a bank. 'But looks like I need to stop that robbery. Time for Spidey to get some street action.'
"Hey, ugly!" He called out the criminals. The four looked up at the spider. "Ha, you looked!"
Almost immediately the men aimed and fired their weapons at Spider-man. The hero dodged the bullets gracefully while making puns. As soon as the hero got close to one of the criminals he spun kicked him into another. "You guys, wouldn't happen to know time? According to my watch it says, Uppercut!"
He jokes while uppercutting the next criminal leaving one standing. The man trembled at the sight of Spider-man, his hand holding the gun shaking.
"Dude, I need to ask you something." Spider-man said to the criminal. The man just nodded. "What kind of shoes do ninjas wear?"
"I Don't… Don't know." The criminal said a little confused.
"Sneakers!" Spider-man joked gleefully. The criminal chuckled at the joke before Spider-man webbed him to a post.
"I'm so punny." The hero said to himself. Unbeknownst to Spider-man a small gold and silver robot crawled its way closer and closer to the wall crawler. The little machine lunged at Spider-man only for it to be pulled away into the shadows. Not before however Spider-man's spider sense went off.
"My Spider sense went off, but there is nothing there." He said to himself. "Huh, weird."
He continued his journey to the Triskelion however he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. His spider sense kept buzzing suddenly only to disappear as soon as it arrived. It had put the wall-crawler on edge. 'What's going on? Is my spider sense on the frits?' He thought as he landed on a roof top.
"Gez, what's going with my spider sense?" Spider-man said shaking his head. His attention turns to a thwiping noise. A black and red costume hero swung his way to Spider-man, Kid Arachnid or formerly Spider-man.
"What's up Peter?" Miles asked as he lands next to Peter.
"Err, nothing, Miles." He murmured. "Hey… is you're spider sense doing anything weird?"
"Um… no… why?" Miles asked deeply confused. "Did something happen?"
"That's the problem. I don't really know." Spider-man said shooting web-line. The spider themed hero was now only a few swings away from the Avengers Academy when his web line suddenly snapped. Spider-man found himself plummeting to wards the ground.
"What the?!" He exclaimed.
"Spidey!" Miles screamed out in pure terror.
Spider-man attempts shot another web line only for his web shooters glitch out. Electricity buzzed up and down his arms like tiny lighting bolts. His Spider sense is blazing like an air-siren. "My web shooters, they won't work!"
The hero fell face first towards the ground only to suddenly stop. An extremely long web-line that was attached to his back had stopped his fall.
"Dude are you ok?" Miles asked landing beside Spider-man. His voice his high and frantic.
"Yeah thanks for the save, man." Spider-man thanked. He helped the hero to his feet.
"But… that wasn't me." Miles said shocked. "It was so fast. You were falling and I saw flash and then you were fine!" He exclaimed sounding a little panicked.
Spider-man grabbed the long web line and looked around for any of the other spider heroes, Web Warriors. But no one was there, no Agent Venom, scarlet Spider or Iron Spider. Just him and Kid Arachnid.
"That's… weird." Spider-man said completely un-settled.
In the shadows a female arachnid woman watched the paranoid pair. Her suit was red and blue just like Spider-man's. On her left Web shooter is a small metal circular disk that glowed blue and pink in the centre. The colourful light fade into nothing, all that was left was cold metal. She speaks into her communicator on her right wrist. "Mission log 011, suspect 'Kang the Conqueror' got a bit bold and used his powers. Had to resort using the T.A.S.D. to stop him again. Lucky for us that was his last shot, not unless he wants to fight dozens of heroes and hundreds of SHIELD agents."
On the little communicator screen was a clock that read 9:00. The woman opened a compartment on her silver web shooters/communicator. A small red robotic spider crawled out of it. The tiny robot then left her and followed Spider-man.
"Time to begin operation, Fortify Avengers Academy. Time to play into my territory Artie my boy." She said in an official voice. The spider woman pressed the spider symbol on the centre of her chest like a button and spoke. "Activate Stealth mode."
She completely disappeared in the shadows. At the very moment she disappeared Iron Fist happened to walk by. He looks towards where the woman was but sees nothing. His gazed remained on that spot before walking away again.
Peter and Miles walked down the grey and blue hallways occasionally looking around. 'Come on Pete, whatever that was must gone. Don't let ruin the plan.' He thought to himself. However it was the younger hero seemed to be more concerned then Peter. Constantly he looked back and forward.
"Are you sure we should still do this…" Miles asked concerned.
"Of course. This is a favour from the Avengers, Cap and Iron man approached me about this." Peter pointed out.
"I know… but still…" Miles trailed off thinking about the fate of Peter Parker in his universe. He clenched his fist.
"Don't worry, I got this under control. Plus since that incident back there my spider sense stopped." Peter explained.
"Are you sure that's a good thing?" Miles questioned.
"Miles…"
"Fine, fine…"
"What's going on?" Agent Coulson asked. He approached the pair with a clipboard in hand.
"Nothing, did you get the file I sent you Agent Coulson?" Spider-man asked changing the subject.
"Yes, everything will be ready once you debrief the teams." Coulson explained. "I'm quite impressed you came up with this strategy. This plan you've come with might just work. You've come a long, Parker."
"Aww, you're making me blush Coulson." Spider-man exclaimed childishly.
"File? Strategy?" Miles repeated. "I thought we were just doing a training excise with the Avengers?"
"We are." Coulson said as the training room. Inside all of the SHIELD Academy students were present with the exception of the missing Nova and recently betraying Rhino.
"Alright everyone, it time to fill you on our fun activity for today!" Spider-man said cheerfully; much to the dismay or annoyance to Scarlet Spider. The others heroes appear to accept or ignore Spider-man's behaviour.
"Activity? I thought this was a training regiment, not finger painting Spider-man." Scarlet Spider growled.
"This isn't just any old smash-a-bot-training Scarlet my friend-"
"I'm not you're friend."
"This training exercise I like to call operation Avengers vs SHIELD Academy." Spider-man explained while maintain an out of place cheerful tone. The other heroes seemed taken aback at the premises of the 'training exercise'.
"Today at this very moment we are the Avengers worst enemies." Spider-man said with an almost sinister undertone. "And our job is to take them out."
