Chapter 23
Somewhere within another dimension, there were two beings inside it. One was a young woman with black hair and a face reminiscent to a certain villain. The other was a being not even human. Wearing a brown trench coat with crawling bugs all over it. Together, this unlikely pair was watching the ongoing events currently happening.
"So, I guess my dads the only person able to save the world from that poser. Heh, what are the chances."
"If it makes you feel any better, it's actually not uncommon for a villain to help save the day. Just odd." Speaking were both Mysterio's master and daughter Frances. The two watching the transformations and the rising power they now had.
"Yeah….Hey, how did my father gain the power to use magic? I know his tech is able to make it look like magic, but I've never seen it at this level before." Frances asked the diabolical being. Who gladly answered.
"Ahh, that. Even I admit, I'm not entirely sure how your father gained access to the mystical forces that surrounds the universe." It said also unsure. Though it did have an inkling to how it happened. "My best guess would be because of that Smash Ball."
"Smash Ball?" She replied while tilting her head.
"Correct. It seems to have allowed Quentin access to the mystic realm, though for a short while due to the price." Frances seemed worried for a second, but the entity simply shook his head. "Don't worry, it's not as if he'll die or anything. The only thing that will happen is Quentin losing his powers. Shame really."
The entity had to admit, that Iso-8 crystal was truly unique even among other Iso-8 crystals. Allowing someone access and knowledge to magic for free was quite impressive. Unfortunately, as they say, all magic has a price. After all, one didn't just use magic without creating a type of debt.
Hehe, it was actually funny how in another realm, there was nothing but workers dealing with magic like regular people solving files. Not the image one would think of, but hey, those guys up there could mess with people if they really wanted to. Even the sorcerers of earth were no exception, including Strange.
"Hmmmm, I wonder if he told those brats the price of magic? If not, then they're in for a rude surprise." As it mused on this, Frances simply looked back to where her father was. Proud of the power he achieved, and worried that he might die.
That dark spider looked gross, but even she could tell that guy was strong. Still, despite all that, she couldn't help but believe her father would survive this. He was Mysterio after all. While he was no hero, he was no pushover either.
"Good luck dad." As for the entity, he just gazed back to see how this fight would end. Not really putting faith or hope like Frances, but still had his own thoughts on the matter.
"Well then Quentin. Time to show this reject why your my chosen apprentice."
Back on earth, a battle was taking place. One between two people that would be classified as villains. Both had their motives, their goals. Neither were good people, yet only one was psychotic enough to really call genocide. The other only doing his best to save his daughter.
Yet in the end, only one could win. Though that didn't mean either could throw in a few good punches. Or in this case, fist to magic.
"By Watoomb, I summon the daggers of death." With the Arcane Iso-8, Arcane Mysterio was now capable of using true magic. No illusions, no technology, just the real deal. One that could actually hurt his enemy.
"Uhgg!" Wolf-Spider grunted as the daggers pierced his body. Blocking the majority of them though with his bio organic spider arms. He then leapt up attempting to crush Arcane Mysterio, only for a barrier to block him.
"Hah! I don't even need a spider sense to avoid that. But what about you." Purple mist flew from Mysterio's fingers, a magical version of the chemicals he used to dampen Spider-Man's spider sense. One that worked well against the dark version.
"What in the?" Wolf-Spider felt the effects immediately. His spider sense completely being useless, and that made him angry. "Why don't you handle this fool!"
Using his spider limbs, Wolf-Spider ripped pieces of the Triskelion and flung them at his foe. The Arcane Mysterio dodged a few, but some pieces were unavoidable. Pushing him back and flinging him over.
Taking advantage of this, Wolf-Spider leapt up and slammed a mighty fist into Mysterio's face. The glass helmet barely held together as he was flung into the nearest metal wall. "Ughh!"
"Don't think this is over you quack." Using his web shooters, a string of life-draining web came right at him. Mysterio countered through his new found abilities. Not allowing even a single one to touch him, knowing their devastating ability.
"By Sheol, I bind thee spider!" Ethereal chains then came from thin air, they then headed straight at Wolf-Spider, binding him. His power was to much though, being more than capable of breaking free from them.
"Ha! As if such chains can stop me!"
"Then handle this freak!" Channeling more energy, Mysterio called upon multiple mystic orbs all around them. Then he flung them all at the giant hybrid. Each one marked to hit him with devastating results. Scowling, Wolf-Spider did his best to dodge them. Without his spider sense though, he couldn't void them all. Some slamming into him causing great pain.
Mysterio didn't let , he then came behind Wolf-Spider, and slammed his palms into his back. Chanting a small spell that flung the psychopath forward. Mysterio then used another spell to call upon ice, encasing his foe.
It didn't hold him for long again. Grunting, the ice started to crack, indicating he was about to break free. Seeing this, Mysterio conjured many copies of himself, each one ready to fight. Just in time to, as Wolf-Spider broke free sending ice bits everywhere.
Roaring, Wolf-Spider then rushed at the duplicates. The Mysterio copies used their powers to summon energy bolts at him. The muscular spider simply ignored them, and plowed straight through a group of fakers. Crushing them with his feet and fists.
Then using his spider limbs to grab a few and throw them everywhere. A few getting pierced by the organic limbs as well. Even crushing a few by grabbing their faces. Yet that didn't satisfy the killer at all.
"Where are you Mysterio!?" He yelled out as he destroyed the copies. Ignoring their pathetic attacks that barely damaged him. "Are you just going to hide like the coward you are."
"No." Hearing the voice, Wolf Spider looked above and saw the Arcane Mysterio criss-crossed glowing even more. "Just buying some time."
Releasing another chant, the new birth magician then opened up multiple vortexes all across the room. From them, came the creatures of hate, the devourers of envy and sorrow, the feared creatures of Remnant. The Grimm.
"Graaaa!" From the portals, Beowolves, Boarbatusks, Nevermores, Ursas, a few Geists, and more came from them. Each one full of the power of Dark Gaia, and wishing for nothing but destruction. It was then they felt it, the negativity.
The Grimm were creatures that targeted those who gave off negative emotions. Most of the people in this room were unconscious, and even if they were awake, they weren't really feeling anything. Which left Wolf-Spider and Arcane Mysterio. Obviously only one of them had enough negativity to attract them.
"Graaaaaa!" All the Grimm then did as they were made for. Killing those with negativity.
"No! You dare!" All at once the Grimm struck at the human/spider hybrid. Using their laws, teeth, and stingers to maim their target. Mysterio knew this wouldn't be enough to kill or even stop him. But it would help wearing him down.
"Hey. It's Mysterio."
"Hi man. Like the new threads. Looking good."
"Mike and Marty?" Turning around, Mysterio saw two associates during his time on Remnant. This was quite a surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, we just saw a portal and jumped in." Mike casually replied. Marty gave the place a good look around with what appeared to be a frown.
"Boy, this place is a dump. Everything looks busted. And….what in Grimm's name is that?"
Looking at where he was pointing, Mysterio then saw the dimensional transporter glowing. It was then he remembered exactly what Wolf-Spider said. How it was charging up to release a devastating power that could power the freak up while simultaneously destroy his world.
"Shit!" For a second, Mysterio tried thinking of a plan. He could try disabling it, but he wouldn't be able to do much before Wolfie broke free. He then looked at the two Beowolves and had an idea.
"You two, I need your help." He explained, not giving them any room to talk back. "Long story short, that thing's going to blow, wiping me, earth, and even you two."
"What!" The duo yelled out.
"Yep. However, it can all be prevented if you can help me shut down this portal."
"But how?" Mike asked increasingly worried.
"I mean, we aren't exactly brilliant techno people or whatever." Like Marty said, the two were Grimm. Killing, they were experts at. Tracking and fighting, just as good. But manipulating technology, not really.
"In that case, I can help." A voice suddenly came from nowhere, checking behind them, all three then saw who it was.
"Iron...Man?" Mysterio asked, only to get a shaking head.
"Incorrect. Call me, the Iron Schnee!"
"Whitley!" How in hell did this happen?! Last Mysterio saw, Whitley was taken away and put in a safe place away from Hydra. Yet he was here right now, wearing some spanking new armor that was kinda like Iron Man's, only blue and white, a blue cape with a snowflake on it, plus a bit smaller.
"But, what in the-how?"
"Sorry Mysterio, but I have no time to explain. Let's just say I detected something and came to help." After being put in that situation with Hydra and noticing how powerful his sisters were becoming, Whitley realized he needed to change. And what better way to change than creating his own armor using the resources at the SDC, and some of his own intellect.
For while he was nowhere near Stark's intellect, he was still smart enough to create his own armor. As for how he was here, he had been testing his new armor against the Grimm when a portal opened up and he was sucked in. Probably a good thing to, since Mysterio realized he could be useful in shutting the machine down.
"In that case, fine. Mike, Marty, you two help him by making certain none of the Grimm stop him. Can you do it?"
"Sure."
"You got it." The two couldn't say they liked attacking their kind, but it was that or face death, so the choice was easy to make. Still, it wouldn't be easy for them despite them being alpha's Good thing Mysterio already had an idea for that.
"Excellent. In that case, have a power up while I handle Wolf-Spider." Mysterio sent a stream of magic that transformed the two Grimm into a much larger, stronger variant of Grimm. Their claws becoming much sharper, bone plating rearranging in a more armor like way. Their forms becoming more sleek and mobile.
"Wo-hoah! This is awesome. Right Marty?"
"Yep." Marty then turned to the Iron Schnee. "Come on man, let's go save the day. Woah, that felt weird."
Whitley was actually surprised seeing and hearing two talking and quite agreeable Grimm, but then realized he could question this later. Right now, he had other business to attend to.
Back to Wolf-Spider, he was becoming increasingly annoyed with these Grimm. They were nowhere near his level of strength, but still bugged him to no end. Then he saw a group heading toward the dimensional portal. It was clear they were trying to shut it down, and he wouldn't allow it.
With his fury, he ripped apart the Grimm and started running toward the interlopers. However, unluckily for him, Arcane Mysterio had other plans for him. "By Denak I summon the grand sword of flames."
A fiery sword appeared in his hand, and Mysterio swung it down. Summoning a grand arc of fire that made a direct hit on Wolf-Spider. It didn't do much damage, but it did blind him for a second. A second was all Mysterio needed, as he teleported in front of the hybrid and started a series of punches.
"Guh!" Using his aura, Mysterio powered each of his punches being more than capable of destroying titanium walls. While Wolf-Spider was durable enough to withstand them, he could still feel his insides being messed with. Then felt a strong fist uppercut him into the ceiling. His head actually breaking through the roof.
"Now then, time for another chant. From Faltine I invoke the higher binding!" More chains came and made attempts to capture the slippery Spider-Man. Yet once more, he proved elusive even without a spider sense. Quickly escaping the trap and flung himself toward the new magician.
"Mysteriooooooo!" The dark version then slammed into Mysterio, causing the floor to actually break, sending the two into the level below. The three trying to stop the machine were more than a little shocked, but ignored it having hopes Mysterio could stop him.
As for what was happening below, Wolf-Spider stood over Mysterio, who was dazed from the attack. He then felt pain as his enemy started his own assault of punches. His new muscular form making his jabs much more devastating as he taunted the down magician.
"You! You actually thought you could beat me!" He made certain Mysterio couldn't answer, punching the air out of him while slamming his fist onto the slowly cracking helmet. "I destroyed you in my world Crushed every other hero who tried to stop me. Even defeated multiple spider's as they stood no chance against me. And you thought you'd fare any better than them?!"
Making one final blow, Wolf-Spider broke through the helmet, and hit Mysterio's face. Hearing the bone crack and blood leaking out, Wolf-Spider became satisfied with his work. "Hahaha! I admit, you put up a good fight. But in the end, your just a failure."
Chuckling, Wolf-Spider turned around and prepared himself to deal with the interlopers when he heard a weak but stable voice. "Puh. As if you can stop me."
Wolf-Spider quickly turned around, ready to bring another beat down, but was to late.
"From the dark Dormammu, I call his power of darkness in reality." From Mysterio's hands, a dark energy formed which he used to blast Wolf-Spider continuously up. Breaking through the multiple ceilings all inside the Triskelion until finally he gave out.
"Ughh." His aura was healing his face, but it still felt rather painful. Getting up, Mysterio floated back where the dimensional portal was, and saw Mike and Marty finishing the last of the Grimm he called upon.
"Whitley. Are you almost done?" He asked the young Schnee. Hoping the doomsday device was shut down.
"No." Whitley said back, still typing away. "I'm still trying to bypass some of this encryption Wolf-Spider installed. Just give me a few more minutes and I'll be done."
"As if I'll allow that." From above, the large spider broke through. His face looking a bit ugly as it revealed some of his skinless muscle, thanks to Mysterio's dark magic. Wolf-Spider was ready to crush the young child, but Whitley was prepared for it.
"As if I'm not ready for that!" Stepping away from the console, Whitley held his palms up and activated his own version of the Repulsor Ray. The blue beam making a direct hit against the murderous villain. Actually earning a cry of pain from the man, as the ray also started encasing him in some ice.
As the villain fell down onto the ground, Whitley gave a happy cry. "Ha! I knew adding other elements other than dust could work just fine."
Just as he said that, Wolf-Spider got up and rushed him. His fist ready to bask Whitley's skull in, the child actually frozen still, unprepared for that. Good thing he had two Beowolf guards to help out.
"Hey ugly!'
"Eat this!"
The two slammed their fists onto Wolf-Spider's face, knocking him back. Sending him flying all the way into the wall.
"...Woah!" Mike said with an open jaw. Not expecting that much strength put in his attack. Marty himself also having his jaw opened. Only to close as Wolf-Spider came back up, looking none to pleased.
"Damn! What does it take to put this guy down!?" Marty frustratedly asked nobody in particular. Mysterio answered anyway.
"A lot. You two just keep watching Whitley. I got him." Floating back up, Mysterio sent another beam of energy at the spider. Like before though, Wolf-Spider withstood it and slowly walked over to him. His mouth turning into a grin as Mysterio became increasingly worried.
'This is bad, this is bad. I'm powered up, but this guy is tanking it like crazy. Not even Spider-Man could handle this much punishment. But this freak's handling it with ease.' Mysterio tried thinking of anything that might work, but nothing came up. All it would do was just knock Wolf-Spider down before he got back up.
'There just has to be a way. How can I-wait, of course.' Mysterio quickly made another chant and sent a bolt of energy that entrapped the hulking figure. It wouldn't last long, but it would hold him long enough. Mysterio then turned back to his three associates.
"You three." He yelled out, gathering their attention. "I need you to stall him while I get something. I'll be right back."
"What" Marty yelled in shock. "You can't ju-and he's gone."
Once Mysterio teleported away, it just left Iron Schnee and the two Grimm with a finally freed spider. One who was grinning maniacally.
"I see he left you behind. Smartest thing he's done." Wolf-Spider then cracked his knuckles. "Now then. How about I play with you."
Muttering curses, Mike, Marty, and Iron Schnee readied themselves. Fully realizing they were about to feel a lot of pain. Chuckling, Wolf-Spider just ran right at them.
"Eat this weirdo." Whitley flew up, and started shooting his Repulsor Rays again. Wolf-Spider felt the sting, but he was ready for it as he just leapt up ready to smack Whitley down. Luckily, the flying youngster just flew away, not ready to take such a blow. As the dark spider landed, he soon found himself attacked by the Grimm Beowolves.
"I don't know about you freak," Mike said with Marty finishing their sentence.
"But prepare to face the beatdown by Mike and Marty." Unlike Mysterio and Iron Schnee, these two Beowolves had lived a long life of violence. Even before their sentience, they lived a decent life learning while maiming Huntsmen.
As such, the two had proper battle experience. Meaning they knew just where to bring the pain.
"Eat this punk!" Marty ducked under one of Wolf-Spider's organic limbs, and struck with his elongated claws. Actually piercing through that tough skin. The target actually muffling a scream, as he didn't expect someone to break his near invulnerable skin. He also didn't expect Mike to attack while his guard was down.
"Graaa!" Lunging, Mike attacked like a regular wolf, with unpredictable attacks. Clawing and biting, his sharp teeth breaking through the dark spider's skin, drawing blood.
"Rrrrrrr!" Wolf-Spider tried attacking, only for the two Beowolves to dodge every move he made. The two were agile enough to make certain they weren't lethally hit. Raising his spider limbs, the villain was ready to strike when suddenly he felt a energy ray hit him on the back, pushing him down.
"Ughh!" Taking advantage of this, Mike and Marty coordinately got behind the massive human, and each grabbed his organic limbs with both arms. Then with all their strength, they ripped them off. A nasty tear sound came as they popped off, earning a roar of pain from the one they were torn off of.
"Ohhh. That's good pain. Huh Mike?"
"Yeah. Been awhile since we felt this much."
Whitley on the other hand kept his attacks. Sending in his stream of energy to burn Wolf-Spider's back while Mike and Marty kept clawing at him. The dark counterpart of Spider-Man slowly becoming more and more angry at this disgrace. His anger soon hitting its peak as he got up and roared like an animal.
"Uh oh!" That was all Marty could say before Wolf-Spider grabbed him and his companion. Who were then savagely beaten back and forth as he kept cracking their bone plating. Lifting them up only to drop them back down with a thud. Grabbing their tails and spinning them around, releasing them and then used his web shooters to web them up.
Only to spring them back to him as he stepped back allowing the two to hit each other by the muzzle. The duo groaning in pain. Wolf-Spider was ready to do more, only to feel the Iron Schnee's Repulsor Rays to strike him. He just found his next target.
"Crud." Whitley flew back, ready to keep attacking from a safe distance. Wolf-Spider had other plans. He kept shooting his webs, trying to trap the armored Schnee. While doing so, he used his strength to rip pieces of metal and threw them at Whitley.
Whitley was able to blast the debris, but in doing so, he was to late in noticing the Wolf-Spider closing the distance. "Hu-"
Then a mighty hit struck his armored chest, sending him into the nearest wall in pain. Crashing through, Whitley could only groan. His suit protected him well, but a few of his ribs were cracked from the hit. Another like that would surely cause fatal damage. Try as he might, the young Schnee couldn't even move.
Which was fine for Wolf-Spider, as he walked up to him and grabbed him. Applying pressure in his grip, causing Whitley to feel the pain, his armor shorting out a little. Wolf-Spider then grabbed the damaged helmet, and ripped it off, looking at Whitley's fearful expression.
"This is what happens to people like you." With full intent to crush his skull, Whitley closed his eyes in fear. Luckily, a miracle came for the young boy. One in the form of a single word.
"Laser!" From the side, a great wisp fueled beam struck Wolf-Spider away from killing the now fainted Schnee. Wolf-Spider changed his stance, and faced back against the now returned Arcane Mysterio. Who's face now had determination on it.
"Oh, if it isn't the fishbowl. Or cracked one anyway.. What's the matter, want more pain?" Wolf-Spider mocked. Mysterio didn't answer, only giving a smirk. "What? What are you smiling about?"
"Oh. Nothing." Portals opened up, all surrounding Wolf-Spider. "I'm just glad that like Spider-Man, you all have a pathetic weakness. What was it called again? Right. Ethyl Chloride."
Then a gas of the pesticide started coming out. A large amount that while it had no effect on the Grimm and humans, it had the ability that killed regular spiders. Or in this case, weaken a large one."
"Guahhhh!" Wolf-Spider felt the damaging effects of the pesticide. As a being that held the proportional strength of a spider, he held many abilities. Yet something as simple as that chemical that could be found in a bug spray actually affected him like the fictional hero Superman and his kryptonite. Basically put, he was screwed.
"Now take this." With his enemy weakened, Mysterio began his attack. Floating in the air, he launched a series of magical attacks that damaged the great dark spider. With his abilities now weakened, he couldn't even dodge at all. Only being able to do nothing more but endure the magical attacks.
"As is...this will….stop... ME!" He screamed. Using whatever strength he had left, Wolf-Spider attempted to make a final strike. Jumping write toward Arcane Mysterio, ready to use all his strength for one final punch. As he got near though, Mysterio simply teleported out of the way, coming right behind him.
"Please. Like such a move can stop me. Now let's end this scene, now." Summoning another transparent chain, Arcane Mysterio wrapped it around Wolf-Spider's leg, and then flung him around the room. Letting him go to where it all began. The portal.
"Nooooooo!" With nothing left inside him, Wolf-Spider was forced to enter the portal. However, as if hell he'd go in alone.
Using his web-shooters, Wolf-Spider caught Mysterio by the chest, and dragged him in.
"Augh!" The two soon entered it, a portal with no pre-set destination. The two were now in some kind of vortex that showed all other worlds. Not that the two noticed, as they were now flinging beyond the boundaries of the strange worlds they passed by. Fighting each other to see who would return.
"You bastard!" The arrogant spider said as he kept trying to punch Mysterio. "How dare you attempt to get rid of me. Do you realize who I am, not that lowly Spider-Man you fight, but a much stronger one. While you are nothing."
Arcane Mysterio took another hit, however he wouldn't be defeated so easily. As he spat blood, the illusionist looked around him. He saw all the countless worlds, and saw everything that was beyond his own.
A world where Eggman took over, using the power of some strange ruby and a jackal. Another where those female sidekicks near Spider-Man were facing a skeleton like Grimm, that was draining their will. Another world where countless dead giant bodies known as Celestial were falling from the sky. He saw that and so many others, including his own. A dark being pounding on a sword inside some dead head in space. A man wearing a mask with a unique spear of sorts, hunting a spider. Eggman and Otto meeting a strange creature. A man calling himself the Jackal creating a company for cloning organs, yet was doing something more. The final scene showing a huge purple man, wielding a stone of great power that shone like a star.
There was so much to process, that one look and Mysterio was already forgetting these worlds. Yet as he looked at these realms, he saw something. It was a Spider-Man fighting...Wolf-Spider? Where the Spider-Man of that world somehow shattered him, and launched his pieces across dimensions, saving other spiders. It was then Mysterio knew what to do.
Using his magic, he charged up one final spell, that would end this battle. Wolf-Spider saw this, and tried to capture him, but was again to late. Arcane Mysterio finally said his last spell.
"By Agamotto itself, I shatter thee." The stream of blue energy left his hands, at merged itself into the body the Wolf-Spider. Re-creating the exact action used before. Something Wolf-Spider was powerless to stop as he could do nothing but scream one final name.
"Myyyyyysterrrrriiiiiiiiioooooooooo!"Then, like before, Wolf-Spider's own body 'shattered' as his pieces flung themselves across the different dimension. This time, where he wouldn't be capable of reconstituting himself. Seeing this, Mysterio had finally done it, and slowly closed his eyes. Content he had won this battle, even if it meant he would be stranded in this vortex, as he was no longer sure how he would get out.
Yet it would appear a final miracle would come in play. The Arcane Iso-8, seemingly sensed what was happening, and decided to use it's remaining power to aid it's master. With a final glow, Arcane Mysterio vanished from the vortex, and reappeared back outside of it. Noticing this, Mysterio let out a long sigh.
"Hah, ha…." Floating down below, Mysterio fell to his knee and then felt his power disappearing. All of the mystic might vanished, leaving his body. Turning the Arcane Mysterio back into regular old Mysterio with his old suit.
'Man..that was tough. Still...I won.' It was a difficult battle, but Mysterio actually did it. He won. Then he heard the strange whirring sound, and looking up, he saw the dimensional portal ready to blow. "Oh come on!"
Checking, he saw Whitley was still down, and if he recalled, he had nothing to help stop this. In other words, he was toast. Bracing himself, Mysterio shut his eyes waiting for the worst when suddenly, the machine just stopped.
Curious, he looked back and opened his eyes, finding one Nick Fury right where the control panel was. "Well, that was to close for comfort."
"Fury." Looking at the small wall of webs, he saw that Nick's own was torn apart.
"Yeah. Can't believe I'm saying this, but your fighting against that monster actually gave me enough time to break free." It was tough, but Fury was able to snap out of the web's influence, freeing himself. After that, he just went to the dimensional portal and shut it off.
"I...see…" Mysterio then gazed around, seeing the wrecked room and the slowly waking agents. Then he checked himself and saw him back in his old suit with no gases or powered-up tech. "...I guess this is the part where you arrest me?"
Fury just gazed at the illusionist, then just sighed. "I would….but it would appear I still need to fix the portal before it causes anymore damage here."
Blinking, Mysterio then looked at the nearby exit. Then back at Fury.
"Yeah, it'll take some time fixing this" Fury said no longer looking at Mysterio. "Not to mention my agents are still out of it. No doubt they wouldn't be able to capture you, or those Grimm. Not to mention we have to send the kid back home."
"...Got it." Standing up, Mysterio went to where the two Grimm were, who were now back to normal alpha's. Kicking them a bit, they woke up groaning.
"Ughh, my head." Mike muttered, standing up while removing the remaining webs on him.
"Damn I feel awful." Marty also muttered, rubbing his skull. Blinking, he then saw Mysterio and noticed that the Wolf-Spider was now gone. "Hey, what's going on?"
"Nothing important." Mysterio said walking away. "We were just leaving, right?"
The two Beowolves just looked at each other, a bit confused. They weren't really sure what just happened, but just shrugged and decided to follow the human anyway. Not like they had anything better to do.
"Eh, come on Mike. May as well go." He said following Mysterio.
"Sure. Just wait up." Soon enough, the odd trio were gone with one leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. still rubbing his aching head.
"Huuuh. Hope that was the right thing to do." he quietly said. No doubt he would be hearing from Mysterio in the future, not to mention the strangeness on those talking Grimm. It would be a problem if more Grimm became like that.
Yet oddly enough, Nick saw what that man did. Help saved the day, whether he wanted to believe it or not. Battling that dimensional counterpart of Parker, and somehow winning. Even if some might have disagreed, Fury was one who paid his debts. Even if it was to a villain like Mysterio.
"Whatever." He muttered, now calculating the costs to fix the damage done to the Triskelion. Not to mention getting this kid back home. Not even sure how he would get him back without explaining this to the father.
Fury already knew that being the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be no fun.
Meanwhile, back in an unknown dimension, a entity wearing a brown trench coat was smiling along Frances. Both happy to see what had just occurred. Frances especially as she was jumping with joy celebrating her father's victory over that freak. She had been watching him all this time due to Mysterio's master intervention. Seeing all his struggling, victories, and perseverance in the face of stronger foes. Now, he had finally did the impossible and won.
Even the entity was pleased. Though it was more so for it's own purposes.
"Hehehehehehe. This is better than I expected." The being then stared at the dark abyss it was in. Smiling. "Well Ero, looks like you're not the only one with a capable partner."
It would still take time, but it would one day be ready to face Ero. It might take time, a whole lot of it, but it could wait. After all, it had an eternity to do so.
So ends the final battle, with the epilogue coming up. Hopefully you all enjoyed this spin-off, I know I did.
Next Chapter March 26th.
