Chapter 1: Prologue

On a world much like ours, at a time long ago, at the Globe Theater, where the family Watsonne, travelling show promoters of well renown, has captured the attention of all London. Their featured performer, The Spider, ensnares his audience by performing all manner of tricks with his wondrous webs. The crowd cheers for the Spider and chanting for an encore. "Out, out, brief candle," said The Spider towards the crowd, "Life's but a walking shadow." Then, the crowd goes quiet and all confused. Then, the love of his life, Marion Jane, walks up to him and whispers in his ear. "Uh, Peter, you're Spider-Man. No one expects Shakespeare," she whispered, "Give them what they want." "Fine, my dear." said Spider. Then, Spider runs up the pillar and stands on the roof. The crowd gasps and claps. Then, Spider jumps to the floor and Mister Watsonne walks up with an announcement. "Ten shillings to anyone who can wrestle our good spider to the floor." he said. Many people tried for the reward, but, they couldn't beat him. "Is that all you got?" said Spider. Then, a man with hunter garb walks from the crowd. "I will do your challenge, but, for a different reward," said the figure, "I want your defeat." "Very well, sir. I can promise you to have a good workout, mister…?" said the Spider confused as his Spider-Sense tingles. "It's Kraven," said the figure, "And you shouldn't make promises you can't keep, Peter." "You have me at a disadvantage, sir. How do you know…?" said the Spider as his Spider-Sense keeps tingling. "For I am ready for battle," said Kraven, "I am ALWAYS ready for battle." "Marion! Mister Watsonne! Leave the room! NOW!" said the Spider as he turns. "P-Peter..?" said Marion Jane. "Please, my love. There is a great danger here," said Spider, "This man, This 'Kraven', is not what he seems!" Then, Spider punches Kraven in the face hard. "I always like to play with my prey." said Kraven as he hits Spider so hard that one of the pillars broke.

Then, Kraven grabs his spear and runs towards Spider. "NO! PETER!" said Marion Jane as she sees Kraven. As Spider tries to get up, Kraven comes and stabs Spider in the chest. Then, Kraven comes and takes off Spider's mask. "This is not enough. The Great Hunt still continues," said Kraven, "The Murder of thousands goes on. But, it will be over soon." Soon, VERY soon, all spiders shall die!" said Kraven as he walks into a portal and disappears.

Author's note: Spider-Verse is now in full swing. I made a little prologue, just to keep the blood pumping. I used 1602 Spidey in this because I couldn't think of any other medieval era Spideys. The Kraven is the Kraven from the Ultimate Spider-man TV Show. But, If you want to see Peter, Pedro, Spidey 20XX, and others, STAY TUNED FOR NEXT CAHPTER!

Next: The Gathering Part 1
