Chapter 7 - Mirror's Edge
In the Forested Area- Outside the City
The sound of a loud running engine got everyone's attention in the area. They could all see the M.O.N. Squad heavy armored vehicle careening at high speed into the glade. The vehicle skidded to an abrupt halt, and two familiar figures jumped from the back.
"Where are they?! Someone tell me who to shoot!" Zombina bellowed, and started emptying out clips of ammunition into the sky. Manako stood next to her with a huge sweat-drop running down the side of her face. Doppel waved the other M.O.N Squad members over.
"Holy shit! What are all these Alarune doing here?!" Zombina put her guns away, and stared wide eyed at them. she then turned her head to talk to Peter. "What do we do with them? If they mated with all these humans, then they'll start scattering their seeds pretty soon." Peter took on a look of concentration with his hand rubbing his masked chin. Peter then hit his fist into the palm of his other hand. "Of course! Zombina...do you still have the special gun I modified for you?"
Zombina nodded, and went to the back of the vehicle to get it, She returned a minute later with it in hand, and stroked her face lovingly against the metal casing with a huge blush on her cheeks. "It was the first real present I ever got. I keep it next to me when I sleep." Everyone looked at Zombina with a deadpan stare, and she frantically starts waving her arms in panic. "I mean who wouldn't want to keep such an awesome gift close to them like that? Right? Am I right?!" Manako decided to come to Zombina's rescue.
"Y-you want to use the ammo with the s-special properties, Peter?" Manako asked Peter with her head lowered in shyness with her bangs covering her eye. "Exactly. The foam resin ammunition will cover the Alarune in foam that will harden into resin on contact with the air, and create a seal around them. They won't be able to release their nectar, or seeds." Peter finished with a nod, with his arms folded over the spider emblem on his chest. Zombina grinned as she loaded up the special ammo in the clip of the gun. "Okay! This shouldn't take too long!" Zombina frowned when she saw the human captives trying to get to the Alarune. "What happens to them? There's no way normal humans can fight off the addictive properties of Alarune nectar."
"As bad as this sounds...it's not our concern. Their humans, and M.O.N. was created to deal only with our own kind." Doppel said with a serious look, while standing on the right side of Peter. Zombina noticed how close Doppel was standing to Peter, but decided to ask her about it later.
"Tio! Could you round up the hostages, and put them somewhere away from the Alarune so I can get them ready for transport?" Zombina asked, with Tio nodding her head happily. "Okay, Zombina-chan~! Come with me everyone!" Tio wrapped her long arms around the former hostages, and lifted them off the ground, getting cries of protest from them. "Nooo! We don't want to go!" "Don't take them away!"
Peter grimaced under his mask at the pathetic sight of the men blubbering like babies, as Tio brought them a fair distance away from the Alarune. "Maybe if I can study their nectar, I could come up with some kind of antidote so those men can live normal lives again. **** **** **** ****** "No, I doubt that Sumike would allow that." **** **** *** ****** "Hmm. You know...that could work. If Tio agrees to this." **** *** "How would you know? This is unknown territory for me." **** **** **** "She's a little too...ah...intense though. What if she wants something in return?" ***** **** ***** *** *** "What in the?!...You're joking!" *Silence* "You're not joking. Well...it's worth a shot I suppose." ***** ***** **** "If this blows up in my face, I'm holding you responsible." The symbiote with their shared mind-scape rolls the eye lenses on it's form, and oozes away.
Peter consciousness returned from his mind-scape to see that Zombina had almost all of the Alarune encased in resin, and loaded onto their transport. Manako, and Doppel were using underground scanners to make sure there weren't any seeds released prior to their arrival.
"Looks like there's only this big Alarune to go!" Adrianna gave a pleading look to Spider-Man, and this caused a tick mark to appear on Zombina's forehead. "Where the hell are you looking?! Keep staring at Pete like that, and I'll make salad out of you!" Zombina trained her machine guns on Adrianna, and wanted to make good on her threat, but Peter stepped in the line of fire at the last minute.
"Hey! What's the deal, Pete?! I could've shot you!" Zombina looked horrified at the thought of hurting Peter. Peter gave Zombina an apologetic look under his mask. "Sorry, Stitches. I didn't mean to scare you like that. I didn't want you to do something that you would've regretted later on." Zombina took several large breaths of air to calm herself down. "Thanks, Pete. Your always there for me when I need you most." Zombina holds out her fist, and Peter bumps it with his own. "You know it, Stitches."
Zombina turns her head to the side with her bangs covering her eyes. "What's going on with you, and Doppel?" Zombina whispers to herself.
"What was that, Stitches?" Peter asked, not hearing her. Zombina looked up, and smiled at Peter with her sharp teeth showing. "Nothing to worry your tight little buns about! Think fast!" Zombina spun Peter around, and slapped him hard on the ass, causing Peter to yelp in surprise. Zombina ran off laughing loudly towards the transport vehicle.
"What was that about?" Peter asked himself out loud, and scratched the back of his head in confusion.
"My chosen one is in high demand. I would expect no less from the mate that I selected." Adrianna decided to make her presence known to Peter, who had forgotten that she was still there.
Peter noticed that she had gotten even closer to him using her vines to maneuver above the ground.
"Whoa...back up! Zombina, and I are best friends! Plus, I already have a girlfriend, so I'm off the market." Peter waved over at Tio, who smiled and waved excitedly back at him.
"You are very naive about the mating habits of monsters, aren't you? I have much to teach you, but I guarantee that you will enjoy the lessons my mate." Adrianna caresses her flower petals to her body, and gives a saucy wink at Peter. Peter rubs the front of his mask in slight fustration, and decides to get to the point of this conversation.
"Listen up, Adrianna. There are two reasons why you didn't join your people as resin statues in the back of the transport: The first is that you didn't participate in breaking the inter-species law, even though you did nothing to stop your people from their...activities. Number two: Those men they abducted are now just plant fetish sex zombies thanks to that Alarune Nectar you use. I need to find an antidote, so that those men can return to normal, and you are the key to seeing that happen." Adrianna listened closely to Spider-Man's explanation, and smiled knowingly at his last sentence.
"You need me, my mate? I am overjoyed to hear this, but a cure for the nectar has never been needed before. The men who make love to us will never want another lover. They become addicted to our bodies, and will crave us until their dying day. To separate those men from my Alarune sisters is a fate worse than death for them." Adrianna crossed her arms under her E-cup breasts, and stared into Peter's eye lenses looking for some reaction to her efforts.
"This is not good." Peter said out loud mostly to himself. He then looked over at Adrianna, and rubbed his chin in thought. "Just because you've never needed a cure doesn't mean it's impossible to make one. What I need is a sample of the nectar that you produce. Could you provide me with that? My Other told you that we will talk with our superiors, and I could maybe get you, and your people returned to your homeland with no repercussions," Adrianna shook her head, and held her large petals close to herself for comfort.
"We can't return home...our home is now a dry desert. It is completely uninhabitable for my people. We were desperate to leave! So many of my sisters died, and so many more did on the journey here." A lone tear fell down Adrianna's cheek. "We were so happy to find this forest, with soil so rich in nutrients. My remaining sisters wanted to start reproducing as quickly as possible to increase our numbers...I warned them about the law in this country, but they didn't listen."
Adrianna looked up with a happy smile at Peter. "Then I met you, and wanted nothing to do with their laws if it meant that I couldn't show you my love." Adrianna subconsciously began releasing her red nectar mist, but it was ineffective with Spider-Man's symbiote filtering it out.
Peter rubbed his forehead to stave off a headache. "Adrianna...I'm flattered that you think I'm worthy to be mated to you, but I've told you before that I'm spoken for." Peter tried some diplomacy, but Adrianna just shook her head at him. "Still so much to learn, my darling. You are in for quite a shock." Adrianna giggled to herself, and Peter was at the end of his rope.
"Look...let's just agree to disagree for now. I haven't had a moments rest in two days! I'm tired, and just want to go home, and face-plant in my nice warm bed." Peter punctuated this by yawning loudly with his hand covering his mask where his mouth is.
Tio hurriedly walked over to where Peter, and Adrianna were and lifted Adrianna over her head into a specially prepared tank with soil and closed the top lid. Adrianna pouted as Tio quickly moved her to the transport with the other Alarune. Peter joined the rest of the M.O.N. Squad in the transport, and drove straight to M.O.N. Headquarters.
On the way to Headquarters, Peter began drifting off, and was swaying back and forth in his seat in the back next to Tio. "Petey, you're so sleepy~! Here! You can use my lap as your pillow~!" Tio giggled when Peter gave an exhausted nod, and slowly lowered his head on Tio's lap. After a few minutes, Peter was in dreamland, and talking out loud in his sleep. "Zzzzz...No, Aunt May...I didn't set my curtains on fire with my bunsen burner again..." Tio, Doppel, Zombina, Manako, and even Adrianna were holding their hands over their mouths to keep from laughing out loud.
Peter was jostled awake by the vehicle suddenly stopping, and his first sight on awakening were the bottom of Tio's large breasts jiggling hypnotically before his eyes.
"Oh, Petey~! You're awake! We're home now!" Tio looked down over her breasts to smile down at Peter.
"Hmm...wha? Home? Did I miss something?" Peter avoided hitting his head in Tio's breasts, and sat up next to her. "Sorry! You were so tired that I didn't want to wake you up...and it felt nice having you so close to me." Tio blushed, and looked away shyly from Peter.
"No! No...it's fine, Tio-chan! As long as there weren't any problems with getting the Alarune processed?" Tio shook her head, and eye smiled at Peter. "No, everything went alright..." Tio trailed off, and Peter thought it looked suspicious, but shrugged his shoulders. "Okay...ummm...where are the others?"
"There all waiting inside for us~! Ms. Smith said that she wanted to have a house party to celebrate all the successful missions we've had!" Tio said as she made her way to open the back doors of the transport, with Peter following her outside.
"That's just like Sumike...she wants to have a house party, and naturally she...chose...my...house!" Peter ran up to what used to be a modest two story house, but is now a colossal 7 story complex. Peter threw his arms up, and yelled to the heavens.
"What the HELL happened to my house!" Peter pushed open the massive doors, to find more living space than he'd ever need. Multiple sofas, modified living quarters designed for extra species everywhere he went. Tio followed Peter up the large staircase to one of the largest rooms in the complex. Peter opened the door, and was shocked to see the largest pool he's ever laid eyes on.
"Oh, my Knight! It is so good to see you!" Peter turned around, and down to see Princess Meroune in her wheelchair, and wearing her custom made swimsuit. Meroune is smiling up at Peter with her webbed hands clasped together. "I do hope that you are okay with the modifications done to your home. Miss Sumike informed me that she had prior approval from you to make these changes."
"Did she now..." Peter trailed off with a sinister smile on under his mask. "You wouldn't happen to know where I might find my dear employer, would you?" Meroune took a thinking pose that Peter would've thought was cute, if he wasn't mentally picturing feeding Sumike to his Other.
"Hey, Ms. Smith! We've got some cold beers out of the fridge, do you want one? Oh! Hey, Pete! What do you think of your new digs? Now we can stay over anytime to have fun!" The way Zombina accentuated the word 'fun' made Peter gulp nervously. Plus, Zombina's shoe string bikini, and her barely there top were on full display for Peter's eyes. "Umm...hey Stitches...nice outfit?" Zombina took hidden pleasure in hearing Peter's nervous tone of voice. "Didn't happen to see Sumike anywhere, did you?" Remembering Sumike put Peter's brain back on track.
Zombina glanced over to the hidden side of the pool for a split second, and Peter got his answer.
"Come on out, Sumike! I know that you're over there!" Peter could hear her voice saying 'Damn it' from that area, and someone swimming over to his side of the pool.
Everyone heard a loud splash, and saw Sumike emerging from the water. Time seemed to go in slow motion for Peter when he saw Sumike's swimwear...or what there was of it. She is wearing a black sarong bikini bottom, and a shoe-string top with only the nipples on her large breasts covered with thin black fabric. Zombina scoffed, and turned her head pouting, and Manako who is also pool-side looked up from her book for a second before returning to reading.
Sumike swayed her hips as she walked over to Peter's location, She was so focused on her target, that she forgot about the beach chair folded on the floor next to the pool. "Peter-kun...how do you lliiiiikkkkeeee!..." Sumike tripped over the chair, and fell backwards. She was about to hit the back of her head into the reinforced concrete side of the pool, when Peter used his uncanny speed, and agility to re-direct their fall into the pool instead.
Sumike opened her eyes under the water, and saw Peter holding onto her midsection, and swimming them back to the surface. Both Peter, and Sumike took a big gulp of air, and swam to the side of the pool to climb out. Peter looked over at Sumike, and shook his head. "You're determined to give me gray hairs, I know it! First order of business: Lessons about pool safely."
Sumike surprised Peter with a kiss on his right cheek. "My hero." Sumike said with a gentle smile as Peter helped her out of the pool. Sumike didn't move from that spot, and Peter was scratching his head with confusion. "Something wrong?"
"You could say that. How long are you going to hold onto my top?" Sumike said as she turned around with her hands on her hips, exposing her large naked breasts to Peter. Sumike smirked victoriously when Peter turned around quickly, and threw the top over his shoulder to Sumike.
Meroune, Zombina, Doppel, and Manako looked on in jealousy as Peter and Sumike were having a moment together. Tio tilted her head, and smiled over at Sumike. "My Petey likes your swimsuit...where did you get it, and would they have it in my size?" Tio asked Sumike with an expectant look. Everyone, except for Peter faceplanted hard on the concrete...even Meroune was face down with her wheelchair rolling away.
Elsewhere - In the Lower East Section of the City
"Damn it! Damn it! Daaaammnn iiiiittt!" A small seedy looking man with square glasses looks at his computer screen in the dark room in anger. "What the hell happened?! I was all set to soak those fools for every yen they had! It was perfect! My plan was perfect! I use the Alarune like an addictive drug on those rich losers, and when they need their next fix for sex, I tell them that only the first one was free! I could've been rich...filthy, disgustingly rich!" The small man started waving his arms around to clear cobwebs from his vision. "This is the fault of those M.O.N. Squad assholes! Since they got that new guy, Spider-Man...all my operations have been shut down! Rrrrraaaaagggghh!" The man angrily looked up to the rafters on the ceiling and scowled at a familiar shadow.
"Hey, Rachnera! Can't you do something about this guy?! Kill Spider-Man, or I'll make a discreet phone call to get you deported back to whatever hell you came from!" Six red eyes narrow down at the small man, who gulps slightly and takes a step back. "Don't order me around, you little worm. You're lucky that this Spider-Man has caught my interest." Rachnera looks up at a picture of Spider-Man, and smirks. "Soon, very soon."
