JLU SPIDER – FRIENDS VOL. 1: THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Chapter 1: Secret Rebirth Part I
Disclaimer: Hello Readers! This is going to be an exciting epic story. I don't own Spider-Man or Justice League, since they are the sole properties of Marvel Comics and Warner Bros. animation. The inspiration for this story comes from several fanfic crossovers by previous authors.
Prologue
A long time ago, when Peter Parker was only 5 years old, his parents Richard and Mary Parker left him with his aunt and uncle so he could be safe. The real reason they left was because Peter's father refused to cooperate with Norman Osborn's biogenetic weapon plans; when Richard and Mary got on a plane to Brazil, Edward Brock Sr caused it to crash. Ten years later when Peter was fifteen, he went on a high school field trip with his closest friends Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, Harry Osborn and Eddie Brock. During the field trip at the science hall Peter was bitten by a radio-active spider and the next day discovered that he had the powers and abilities of a spider, then afterwards the teenager went into show business when he won a wrestling match and designed a spider costume along with a pair of web shooters. One evening when he was done performing for the night, a thief got away but he didn't bother to stop him. The following night when Peter was coming home, a police car was parked outside the house and a police officer told him that his uncle had been shot down in cold blood by a burglar who was caught robbing the house. Stricken by grief Parker suited up and set out to find his uncle's killer when he caught him; he was shocked to realize it was the same man who heisted the box office. From that time on Peter would become Spider-Man and use his powers to fight crime and protect the innocent, along the way he would also have many enemies including the Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus and Venom. He even made friends with the Fantastic Four and X-Men, and joined the Avengers.
Four Years Later to the Present Day
Queens, New York (Marvel Universe, Earth-616)
It was a peaceful afternoon and all the citizens of New York City were still reeling from the effects of the Superhuman Registration Civil War.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man was still reeling from the effects of the war himself and he was feeling guilty and fortunate at the same time; he felt guilty because his aunt and girlfriend were caught in the crossfire.
Aunt May had died when the Green Goblin dropped a bomb on her house, Peter was so devastated he resigned from the Avengers. Mary Jane was killed when the Goblin dropped her from a terrible height and Spider-Man tried to save her but she died the same way Gwen did.
But he was also fortunate because if it weren't for him and his closest friends the war would never be over. They managed to discover that Helmut Zemo was the mastermind behind the entire war and brought him in to the authorities.
Now in the present time Peter was walking home from Empire State University with his two best friends Bobby Drake and Angelica Jones, who were also known as Iceman and Firestar. They talked about the events of the war and how proud Aunt May and MJ would be to know they finally won "Peter it wasn't your fault they died" said Angelica.
"Yeah" Bobby agreed "Osborn was the one who killed them when he found out who you were, but it's a good thing S.H.I.E.L.D. has him, Doom and Zemo locked up for good."
The next minute Peter's phone rang and when he answered, a voice cried "Peter you've got to come quickly!" that was Mainframe, an A.I. created by Tony Stark. "There's been a prison breakout and someone's taken over the Triskelion!"
"Are you sure?" Peter asked "Yes" Mainframe answers "and be sure to bring everybody with you, including Miles!".
1 Hour Later
Peter, Bobby and Angelica now in their guises as Spider-Man, Iceman and Firestar, a former Avenger, a former X-Man and a former member of the New Warriors. They also brought along Miles Morales also known as Kid Arachnid, a name that Dr. Octopus called him.
"I wonder what the emergency's all about?" asked Miles.
"I don't know Miles" answered Spider-Man "Mainframe will fill us in on what's happening when we get to the rendezvous point."
Soon the four friends arrived at the place where the final member of their team, Mainframe was waiting. He was a seven feet tall android that looked like one of Tony Stark's Iron suits, but as an A.I. he could access any network and hack into any system. His entire body was gold and green (in darker shades), with a thick outer shell of Adamantium and Vibranium, he also had multiple robotic bodies that he could put his subconscious into.
"Hi Mainframe what's the emergency?" asked Spider-Man as he and his friends landed at their destination.
"Loki has broken Zemo, Doom, Magneto, and the Green Goblin out of prison." Mainframe answered.
Spider-Man, Iceman, Firestar and Kid Arachnid exchanged glances, the last time Loki was on Earth, he tried to take it over with help from the Chitauri. "Why would he want to do that?" asked Bobby.
"Well according to the reports, he was sighted on Liberty Island the other day" Mainframe explained "And now he's freed some villains from prison and they've abducted Dr. Curt Connors".
The others looked at each other with concerned looks knowing that Dr. Connors was one of the best scientists and brilliant researchers at Empire State University and he had a wife and son. "You don't think that they'll force him to become the Lizard again?" asked Firestar.
"That could be possible" Mainframe told her "It's either that or they could force him to make more lizard serum to use on other people."
"Then we better get a move on if we're going to save Doc Connors!" exclaimed Iceman and with that the Spider-Friends set off towards the Triskelion where all the villains were gathered.
Elsewhere
Meanwhile Loki was putting his master plan into action "Gentlemen, our time is at hand!" he declared, the other villains including Zemo, Doctor Doom, Magneto, the Goblin and Dr. Octopus applauded. Just then John Allerdyce AKA Pyro came running into the room.
"Hey Boss, the Spider-Friends are here on the ship!" he exclaimed.
"Then it seems they are on to what we're trying to accomplish" said Magneto "Pyro, you and your teammates go up on the top deck and keep them busy a while longer until everything's up and running.
Back outside, Spider-Man, Kid Arachnid, Iceman, Firestar and Mainframe arrived on the top deck of the flying ship and looked around "So how do we get in?" asked Miles.
"It looks like we're going to either break in through the front entrance or smash through the windows of the Main Deck" Mainframe answered.
Just then Peter and Miles' spider senses buzzed at the back of their heads "Guys we've got company!" exclaimed Spider-Man, at that very instant the front entrance opened and out came Pyro, MODOK, Blizzard, Boomerang and Titanium Man followed by a whole army of Doom Bots. "You Spider-Friends are gonna regret trying to interfere again" Pyro warned them sternly.
"This isn't good" groaned Kid Arachnid as the enemies advanced on them Pyro went right for Iceman, Blizzard immediately attacked Firestar, Boomerang threw his weapons at Spider-Man, Titanium Man quickly engaged Mainframe, while MODOK opened fire at Kid Arachnid. Peter managed to tie up Boomerang, Miles gave MODOK a great big overdose of his Venom Blast, and Mainframe succeeded with beating down Titanium Man.
But Bobby and Angel weren't so lucky, during his fight with Pyro, Iceman defended himself with repeated ice blasts and Pyro kept firing his flamethrowers until the ice-powered mutant tackled and wrestled him to the ground. Firestar held everything she had against Blizzard until he froze her in one place, the others were horrified to see her frozen completely, as the ice-themed villain tapped on the frozen form of Angelica causing her to shatter.
"NOOOOOOO!" yelled Peter as he leaped at Blizzard, tackling him to the ground and pummeled him with his fists. Bobby was still struggling with his former friend as they wrestled on the ground and exchanged blows, until Pyro threw him off and was about to roast the arachnid heroes when Iceman jumped on him and they went rolling off the ship, plummeting towards the ocean below.
"BOBBY!" yelled Kid Arachnid and he was about to go after them when Spider-Man stopped him. "He's gone Miles" he said seriously "We have to go after Loki and keep him from carrying out his plans."
Miles sadly looked where one of his best friends had fallen, it reminded him of how his mother had died "but it's just not fair that Bobby is gone"
Peter sadly agreed "I know, but we need to finish our mission Bobby wouldn't want to hold back now that he's gone". Miles knew that his friend was right and went back to fighting the Doom Bots that Mainframe finished off by spinning around with his laser beams.
Soon the three remaining Spider-Friends made it into the Main Deck of the Triskelion after cutting their way through dozens of other Doom Bots, and as soon as they got there something was not right. The Bridge looked deserted, yet Peter and Miles' Spider senses were going off "I have a bad feeling about this" said Miles gravely.
"Hey, there's something on the main computer" said Mainframe who was scanning the whole room and they walked over to the main computer saw something that looked like a map of the solar system.
"This looks like a map of the solar system only different" said Kid Arachnid "it looks more like a map of the whole multiverse."
"Very perspective young man" said a grim voice startling the heroes, they turned around in time to see several individuals come out from the shadows. One was Magneto, master of metal and leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, another was Dr. Doom, a disfigured psychopath with indestructible armor and all kinds of powers and gadgets, the third was Dr. Octopus, an insane scientist with four metal arms attached to his spine. But the fourth was Helmut Zemo, a former HYDRA agent and founding leader of the Masters of Evil.
"Where's Loki?" demanded Spider-Man "and what are you guys doing here?"
"He went on ahead of us to another dimension" said Octavius "as for the rest of us, we need to make certain that everything is in order before this ship sets sail through an interdimensional portal."
"Why would you want to go into another dimension?" protested Miles.
"My dear boy, have you ever imagined the possibility of crossing into another realm?" asked Magneto "Imagine many infinite earths, one were mutants existed in peace and harmony with no persecution from humans, one were the Roman Empire still existed."
"But there's the possibility of an infinite earth where the Nazis won WWII." Zemo explained further "Another were all the Chitauri and their kin could invade without any interference."
"If you guys think you're going to get away with invading another earth, we're not going to just stand by and let it happen." said Spider-Man "Even if we die trying to stop all of you, I'm sure there are heroes on that other Earth where you're going, who can stop you."
"Such noble sediments Spider-Man" Doom replied and then he raised his right hand fired an energy blast, Peter and Miles jumped but Doc Ock grabbed them Mainframe tried to save his friends but he was stopped by Magneto.
Several Minutes Later
Soon Dr. Octopus had the interdimensional probe programed to open a bigger portal, Spider-Man was still unconscious when the Doom bots put him into a containment cell with glass doors.
They were about to do the same with Kid Arachnid when suddenly Mainframe, who was pretending to be knocked out after Magneto threw him against the wall, fired tiny missiles out of his joints, which exploded against the robots causing them to fall down. The noise woke up Miles who quickly sprung up and tried to fight off as many robots as he could, but at that moment someone else flew into the hall and grabbed him by his neck. Miles struggled as hard as he could, but the figure who grabbed him was a lot stronger than he was, this was none other than the Green Goblin who was actually the second person to assume the mantle.
Mainframe lunged forward in an attempt to rescue his young friend, but just as he flew closer, he jerked to a stop in midair. Magneto who arrived due to the disturbance, used his powers of magnetism to hold back the android like he did before on the control deck.
"What's going on here?" demanded Dr. Doom, coming into the hall followed by Zemo and Dr. Octopus.
"This young twerp is being a problem" answered the Goblin "Thanks to the robot who tried to stage an escape."
"Then we should deal with him quickly before our journey to the other side begins" said Magneto gravely "As for this android, he needs to be locked where he can't get out, I'll see to it personally" he then proceeded to haul Mainframe down to a different part of the brig, the Big House.
The New Goblin still held Kid Arachnid by his neck and an idea came to him "I know one way to make the wallcrawler suffer" he sneered "he lost four important people in his life over three to four years, now he will lose three more on the same day!"
The other villains laughed maniacally in agreement with the Goblin's suggestion, then the New Goblin in a flash of anger and hatred snapped Miles' neck. The young hero fell to the ground lifeless, the villains picked up Miles' body and had it thrown overboard, then a portal was opened, the ship went in and vanished. Little did they know, a tiny figure had stowed away onboard and saw the whole thing happening.
AN: There you have it! My first chapter is complete, so now Spidey and Mainframe have been captured and the villains will proceed with the first step of their plans. The next chapter might show where Loki landed in the DC Universe and the Goblin that was mentioned in this story is not Norman Osborn, but his son Harry who still wants to get at Peter for his father's death. The reason I'm including Mainframe in this story is just to do him better than he was in JLU Spiderverse, since he was always shown being smashed to pieces and not being indestructible. I'll also be doing a cast of voices every chapter, so everybody who reads this will use their imagination on what the characters really sound like.
