Spider-Man: Genetic Nightmare
Chapter 01: Beginning of the End


[Pleasant Hills, George Stapler High School]

a teenager in a red-and-blue spandex costume and facemask
stood before a hulking ink-black creature that "resembled" him somewhat.

the creature (Venom) slashed at the teenager with it's taloned hand.
it knocked him across the gym, and cutting into his costume and chest.

the teenager (Spider-Man) recovered from the attack with great agility.
he took a defensive stance and looked up at the creature.

"EDDIE!..Eddie, STOP!" said Spider-Man

Venom approached Spider-Man, it's footsteps lumbering.

"you don't have to do this!"

Venom gritted his razor sharp teeth which was dripping with a greenish saliva.

"yeeess...we DO." hissed Venom

Hidden under the stadium seats, were some teenaged high school students.

One was a girl with long red hair (Riley)
with her was a japanese girl (Tasumi)
and, a black haired cheerleader with long pigtails (Sierra)

they watched at Spider-Man desperatly charged at Venom and, did his best to put up a decent fight.

and, jugding by Spider-Man's wounds and, Venom's lack of fatique: It didn't look good.

"Good Grief, Brock, STOP!" shouted Spider-Man

Spider-Man shot a webline at Venom's face.
however, Venom grabbed the line and yanked Spidey towards him.

he then grabbed Spider-Man, clutching his head in his large hand.
he raised the stunned Spider-Man up and squeezed his skull slightly.

Riley gasped at this.

Venom then punched Spider-Man HARD in the chest.
this flung his body straight thru the air, crashing carts of basketballs.

"you won't do what needs to be done..." began Venom, as he approached Spider-Man

"The world deserves a REAL hero, a REAL Spider-Man."

Venom then shot a black tendril from his fist which ensnared Spider-Man.

"and, if YOU won't do it: WE WILL."

Venom then proceeded to bash Spider-Man against the hard wood floor and various objects.

"NO!" shriek Riley, terrified

"SPIDER-MAN!" exclaimed Tasumi, ALSO Frightened

Sierra was speechless, frozen in fear as she watched the carnage unfold before her eyes.

Venom finally stopped.

as Spider-Man tried to get up, several other tendrils suddenly sprouted from Venom's back.
the black tentacles extended and gripped Spider-Man's body and limbs like snake coils.

"you don't DESERVE your powers..." growled Venom

Venom's tendrils then tightened harder on Spider-Man's waist and limbs
Spider-Man yelled out loud as Venom slowly began to drain his strength.

"Grrrr...GRAAAAHHH!
no, you c-CAN'T!"

Venom then tossed Spider-Man across the room.

"YES...We Can."

Spider-Man painfully tried to get up.
but, he felt so lightheaded and tired.

Venom then charged after him, snarling like a rabid beast.
Spider-Man tried to evade, but his aching body felt so "heavy"

he failed to move in time, and Venom impacted him.
the demonic creature slammed his body against the floor and punched his face HARD.

Venom and raised him up and glared at him.
Spider-Man did his beat to look into Venom's jagged white lens eyes.

"we shall succeed where you failed..." began Venom

Venom then lifted Spider-Man's limp body up.
he morphed his other forearm into a blade.

"goodbye...PARKER."

Riley's eyes became like pins.
she froze in absolute horror as Venom readied to impale Spider-Man.

"no...No, (shouting) PETEEEEEEEEEEEER!"

[Manhattan, New York]

[a Few Months Earlier...]

a long "greyhound" bus pulled up to a bus stop.
it's door opened, and a few people got out.

two of those people were a teenage girl and pre-teen boy.
both if which sported ginger red hair and dark green eyes.

"WHOO-HOO!, I can't believe we're here in NEW YORK CITY!" exclaimed Todd, excited

Todd's sister, Riley groaned.

"Actually, it's called "Manhatten."

"WHATEVER!, it's still New York!"

just then, a woman stepped up and stood at the doorway of the Bus.

"Children..."

Todd and Riley looked at a platinum blonde british woman in a black catsuit.

"Remember, the ONLY reason we're here is because i have to attend a meeting at the United Nations.

And, since C.A.R. is in the shop, your father is attending a "Daredevil Convention"
and, i don't trust any of you with babysitters, I had to bring you along.

SO, for the remainder of our visit, STAY IN TIMES SQUARE.
i'll be back in Five Hours to pick you up, so we can return home to Pleasant Hills."

"But, MOOOOOM-!"

"No BUTS, "Toddie" said Agent K, sternly

Todd grumbled as he crossed his arms.

"Now, Be Good and Stay Safe."

with that, the doors closed and, the greyhound bus drove off.

Once the bus was gone, Riley exhaled and smiled to herself.

"Okay, Which store do you wanna go to first?"

"PTTH!, Forget THAT!
I'm going to Central Park for some Fun and Excitment!" said Todd, as he walked off.

"TODD!, you hear Mom: We're suppose to STAY HERE!"

Todd snickered.

"Riles, think about this for a moment...
'If we disobey mom, and she isn't here to see it: are we REALLY disobeying her?"

Riley stared at her twin brother.

"WHAT!"

"This is NEW YORk CITY, Sis: The "Big Apple" itself!
this is a once-in-a-lifetime oppertunty, and i'm NOT gonna waste it."

"But, TO-"

Todd ignored Riley and stepped at the curb of a street.

"TAXI!"

at that moment, a Yellow Cab pulled up.
before Riley knew it, Todd got inside the cab.

"Central Park, and STEP ON IT!"

with that, the Taxi Cab sped off.

"TODD!, WAAAAIT!"

Riley watched as the taxi cab disappeared into the traffic.
grumbling, and stood at the curb and raised her hand up.

"TAXI!"

Riley waited...but, nothing happened.

"i said: TAXI!"

Still, nothing happened.
Riley then scowled angrily.

"of course..."

Riley sighed sharply as she crossed her arms and marched down the street.

[Nightfall, Somewhere in New York]

Riley shivered as she wandered down a dark street.

she had been trying to find central park ALL DAY (if only to bring her recklace brother back)
but, now: all she wanted was to get back to Times Square.

She figured Todd must've finished what he wanted to do and headed back by now
THAT, and their mother must've returned (and, was probably MAD that they were gone)

Though, right now, Riley wasn't concerned about her mother's anger.
she was too scared to even think of that, and just wanted to go home.

Riley stopped at an alleyway.
she hugged her arms together and gulped hard.

"ohhh...where am i?"

Riley felt a chill as a cold wind blowed against her.
she exhaled, then tried to turn around and walk off.

but, she bumped into someone.

"OH!, Sorry-SORRY!"

Riley suddenly gasped upon seeing the man.
who had a mohawk, dark eyeliner and many body piercings.

"you look LOST..." began the man, his voice "creepy"

Riley stepped back, a little afraid.

"uhh...Yeah, sort of."

the man grinned a "disturbing" smile.

"well...maybe "I" can help you, Cupcake."

Riley gulped hard.

"uhhh...n-no-no, i can manage on my own."

The man then slowly approached Riley.
who continued to back away (inside the DARK ALLEY.)

"aww, come on: I INSIST."

"n-no, i...don't think so-AHH!"

The man suddenly grabbed Riley and pinned her against a wall.

"OW!, HEY!
let..me...GO!"

the man smirked in a way that made Riley nausious.

"your pretty Cute."

"I'M FOURTEEN!" shouted Riley, getting angry

the man smirked.

"not a problem for me-"

"HEY!"

the man and Riley looked and saw someone approach.

it looked like a teenage boy about Riley's age.
he had scruffy brown hair and wore some dirty looking clothes.

"what are you doing to that girl?" said the boy, sternly

"Back Off, Punk!
this is personal business, STAY OUT OF IT!" snapped the man

Riley was getting Desperate.

she had a pretty good idea on what this man intended to do (and, had no intention on letting him do it, either)

she may not of known the boy, but she figured he wasn't hostile.

and, she NEEDED help.

"Help Me, PLEASE!" pleaded Riley

the man then slammed her body against the brick wall.

"GAAHH!"

"SHUT UP, B*TCH!"

the boy narrowed his eyes.

"let her go..."

"P*ss off!"

the boy glared at the man.

"i said..."

the boy rushed over and punched the man in the gut.

"LET HER GO!"

The man released Riley as he gripped himself in pain.

"RUN!" shouted the boy

Riley wasted no time and ran as fast as she could.
but, she stopped and looked back as her attacker turned his sights on her rescuer.

"YOU SON-OF-A-B*TCH!, I'll KILL YOU for that!"

the man threw a punch at the boy.
though he managed to dodged the first, he wasn't so lucky on the second.

the man then proceeded to kick him as he lay on the ground.

"YEAH!, How-do-ya like that!"

Riley grimaced at this.

How could she possably leave NOW?
that boy just saved her (and, he didn't have to)
and, NOW, he was paying the price for his kindness.

she had to do something.

"HEY!"

the man stopped and looked at Riley the boy took this moment of oppertunity, and did a quick sweep kick.

this knocked the man onto his feet.
he then quickly got up and and ran over to Riley.

"Come on, Let's Go!"

he took her hand, and the two ran off down the street.

"YEAH, KEEP RUNNING!" called the man

"I've seen your faces!, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!"

after what felt like Hours, the twoo teenagers finally stopped at a street corner.
both of them bent down and panted loudly as they tried to catch their breath.

"(pant, huff) t-thanks...i owe you." said Riley

"no...(huff, pant) problem."

Riley rose her head up and looked at the boy.
Now that they were in a lit street, she got a better look at him.

he had short brown hair and blue eyes.
(in other words, he looked CUTE to Riley)

"who...Who ARE you?" asked Riley

the boy looked at her.

"Peter, Peter Parker."


Author Note: Since this is the First Chapter of a proposed Spider-Man/Replacements Crossover
i wanted to make a GOOD First Impression for Long Time Fans of BOTH Franchises.
(and, try and convince people that this isn't a Bad Crossover Idea)

I decided to do what Beenox did with "Spider-Man: Edge of Time"
by starting the story with an event that occours much, Much Later on.

This story will be a Peter ParkerxRiley Daring pairing
and, will be basicly be an AU (Alternate Universe) retelling of Spider-Man's Origins

So, I won't be "predictable" in this story.
