The Booted Beauty Chronicles
A Symbiotic Boots Spinoff
Chapter 5: New Capabilities
by Bookfa
MJ returned to the apartment after Jake had dropped her off, clutching the boots. Before she left, Jake had warned that it might take awhile for the symbiote to be reactivated after the S-Disrupter was used to subdue it.
MJ was anxious to get the boots back on, become the Booted Beauty once more, and find out what Elsa was still up to. The tranquilizer didn't kill her, so wherever she was, she was still out there.
MJ had some errands to run, and noticed it was raining. Giggling, she changed her clothes and put the boots on.
"I hardly ever get to wear these for just the weather!" she remarked to herself.
She left her apartment, and hailed a cab to go the grocery store. When she got there, she shopped for various necessities before she heard a loud crash of a window being broken and a familiar figure standing and roaring in the bank.
"Elsa." MJ whispered to herself. Elsa quickly made eye contact with MJ, and MJ dashed as quick as she could, along with the other people in the store.
MJ ran to the back of the store where she knew there was a bathroom where she could change. She hoped the boots were repowered enough to activate when she was ready.
Running as fast as she could, she made to the bathroom, got into the stall, and began shedding her clothing, even removing her boots to take off her leggings and socks. When she was completely bare, she put the boots back on her feet and said "Booted Beauty!"
Nothing happened.
"Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no."
MJ could hear Elsa move closer and closer. MJ realized that Elsa probably still had the psychic trace on MJ.
"C'mon! Please! Booted Beauty!
Again, nothing happened.
MJ held her face in her hand, overcome with emotion.
Suddenly, the door burst open. Out of fear more than anything, MJ now screamed "BOOTED BEAUTY!"
As if the rush of adrenaline was all it need, the symbiote began to form quickly on MJ's body, disregarding it's usual ritual to save it's host in this grave hour.
When Elsa punched the door to the stall down, the symbiote had covered everything but MJ's face. MJ quickly jumped to the ceiling for safety, and crawled upside down to escape the danger. This allowed the symbiote to form on MJ's face, giving her enhanced senses.
Dropping down, MJ opened the door of the bathroom, and again climbed onto the ceiling, crawling as fast as she could. On the floor, Elsa chased after her.
"I have to get Elsa away from these innocent people. I need to lure her out."
When MJ reached the window Elsa had smashed, she spun a web propelling her away from the building and into a parking garage across the street.
MJ looked behind her to Elsa following her into the garage. MJ braced for what she knew would be a tough battle.
Elsa put her finger to her skull like she did when MJ first encountered her, but MJ didn't feel any psychic influence. Perhaps the symbiote had learned to counteract Elsa...
Elsa stopped trying to influence MJ psychically and instead formed a punch that MJ quickly dodged, flipping around and landing feet-first on a column.
"GIVE ME THE BOOTS, MARY JANE!" Elsa screamed.
"I have tasted their power, and I want them again! I want them back!" Elsa then tried to kick MJ down, but MJ again dodged them. Without time to act, Elsa jumped on top of MJ, her naked reptilian body against MJ's rubbery, gooey symbiotic suit. Elsa's snakes hissed at Mary Jane.
"You can simply not defeat me." Elsa said, as she delivered a quick punch to MJ's stomach. She again put her finger to her skull, and MJ could feel the symbiote withdraw from her face, as if Elsa was now trying to psychically influence the symbiote itself.
"I will kill you, Mary Jane. I will steal your beauty like I have so many other countless pretty girls like you. But find comfort in the fact that you will be added to my collection. Who knows, I might even use your form to seduce your boyfriend. What was his name again?" Elsa put her finger to her skull. "Oh, that's right. Peter."
As the snakes hissed and grew closer to MJ's face, MJ felt the symbiote telling her something.
"Give... into... it..."
Mary Jane heard a voice echo inside her head.
"Give... into... it... you... will... be... in... control..."
MJ didn't know what it meant, but believed it could help her. She mouthed the word "okay" with her lips, and MJ began a new transformation.
Her mask reformed on her face, stopping the snakes from stealing her beauty. As it did, a hole appeared around the mouth area that was quickly filled with sharp teeth and long, slobbering tongue. Elsewhere, MJ's muscles on her legs and arms were getting stronger, and MJ was growing taller. MJ felt a brief moment of pleasure as six-pack abs formed above her waist. Claws formed on her hands, and her signature boots had been replaced with talons on her feet.
Feeling that unlike the last time this happened, she was in full control, MJ quickly pushed an astonished Elsa out of the way. MJ stood up and looked down at her body.
"The full bonding... I'm in control, though..." MJ said in a voice that seemed a mixture of her own and the symbiote voice during the rampage on the Oscorp building. MJ thought it must have been Elsa's influence over the symbiote that gave MJ control to activate the full bonding when she pleased.
Elsa was taken aback, walking away from the transformed MJ.
"No, it can't be... not possible..."
MJ leapt onto Elsa, letting out a roar and licking her face with her slobbery tongue. MJ then punched Elsa in the gut, and blood spewed from her mouth.
"ELSA! I want you to leave me and my boots alone. FOREVER!"
MJ grabbed the weakened Elsa and threw her against a wall, which quickly cracked around the impact of Elsa's body.
"Yesss... pleassse... I'll dooo.. whattt you wanttt..."
Letting Elsa's nearly unconscious body fall to the ground, MJ reverted back to her normal Booted Beauty look. Her talons on her feet were replaced by the boots, her hands grew back to normal, and her powerful muscles all receded.
"If you don't obey this promise, next time I won't let you live." MJ said, spinning a web and flying away from Elsa as Elsa collapsed and faded into unconsciousness.
