hey everyone! sorry for the delay kinda lost my spark but I think I got it back, sorry again.
it only took 2months but heres my latest update to trials bludhavan, Spider texas ranger are following up, i'm back and back at work hope you all enjoy.
Dr. Strange teleported himself to the only person who could help him. He was panting heavily and slightly drained of energy the battle with Spider-man or rather more accurately the dark spider may have been brief but it seemed to have exhausted him and his hand, his hand had taken the worst of the assault. "Spider-man…" Strange collapsed on the lawn completely depleted of his energy.
The party inside was dwindling down to a calm state and everyone was going their separate ways. Danny stepped outside for fresh air the night air was damp and thick, it felt like rain was coming "it's not like Peter to avoid home like this…not for this long. It can't be because of Ava alone" he mumbled into the heavy night air.
"….Daniel" came a raspy exhausted voice from the lawn.
"Dr. Strange!" Danny exclaimed, sprinting from the porch Danny slid across the wet grass to Dr. Strange's side "what's happened to you?"
Dr. Strange fought to push himself upright but his shaky arms were still too weak to support his weight and he collapsed with only a defeated expulsion of breath escaping his lips "don't move I'll use my chi to heal you" Danny told him placing his hands on the good doctors back. The golden light of his concentrated chi flowed from his hands through Strange's back restoring little of his energy. "Dr. who did this to you?" Danny asked, there was the noticeable trace of fear in Danny's voice and for good reason who ever could beat the sorcerer supreme into such a condition was not someone to be taken lightly.
Strange cringed in pain and clenched a fistful of grass in his fist as Danny's Chi purged the pain from his body in a raspy pant he muttered two words to Danny "Spider…man…." He whispered before closing his eyes and resting his head on the damp grass leaving a mortified and confused Danny to wonder why he accused Spider-man.
After having brought Dr. Strange into the house Danny began telling the guys what the doctor had told him. Their reactions were as he would have expected as he himself didn't believe the accusations levied against Spider-man.
"That's a load of bull!" Luke spat "why would Spidey attack Dr. Strange he was a friend?"
"I do not know by the sound of it Spider-man was … different. His suit was darker he himself seemed darker" Danny replied, he spoke clearly but even to his own ears his words sounded jumbled. "I don't wish to believe it either but maybe it is worth investigating" he halfheartedly suggested.
Sam hesitantly shifted from one foot to another his eyes darting from the group to the stair case "so is it just us or do we involve his new team and the predator pack?" he asked snobbishly.
"Johnny and bobby know him best their insight could be valuable" Danny stated "but….with him and Ava's current predicament it might be wise not to involve hostile emotions".
"Alright then let's move out" Luke ordered.
Spider-man sat on a flag pole overlooking city hall, Strange vanished on him and the mutant who stole Ava was nowhere to be found. As the night crept over the city his blood continued to boil from rage he passed his first day with 2 remaining but for now he just rested and waited.
(Chibi angel and devil Spidey popped up on his shoulders devil seemed slightly larger in stature than he normally did "personally I like this arrangement we have power, seriously web head think about this we beat the sorcerer supreme! Come on admit it, it feels so good to be so bad!" he cheered.
"Power isn't everything you know!" angel Spidey protested "what would Uncle Ben say about this? Do you really want to be the guy you saw in the others web of shadows?")
Shaking off his imaginings Spidey dropped from the flag pole shooting out his green webbing his head and his heart were playing tug a war. His rage still held domain over him so Spider-man was still driven to hunt down the man from the video and beat him to within an inch of his natural life.
(Alternate Earth 316 B.)
The bright blue sky slowly clouded into a dreary grey, fall was in the air jack-o- lanterns and scarecrows dressed the streets even costumed kids crowded the parks in preparation for tonight there were Avenger costumes and young heroes running around kids playing Spider-man and his band of sidekicks.
Peter Parker stood alone at the edge of the pier looking out into the vast ocean reflecting on the events of the past month. The city suffered greatly after Galactacus attacked but the burden seem to fall on him to shoulder the weight of two losses to his family.
"Parker? Your Aunts got dinner waiting"
Peter returned to his senses but his eyes never left the water "acting Director Coulson. I see your rank hasn't limited you to the Quad- carrier just yet" Peter exasperatedly sighed.
"Peter I've asked you not to call me that…it still feels weird to me to" Coulson replied as he hesitantly stepped to Peters side, Coulson looked over at the young man beside him like himself Peter lost a mentor and a friend "you know you have nothing to be guilty about right?" he stated.
"I was right there on board Coulson and instead ignoring Fury like I always do I…let him die" Peter replied.
Coulson shook his head in disappointment Peter was a bright boy but he was struggling to see his actions saved hundreds of innocent lives "Fury's fate was his own choice Parker by ruling of the captain's code the captain goes down with his ship"
Peter scoffed then turned to face Coulson square in the eyes "is that how you explained it to Holly? Or maybe to Jess how Johnny chose give his life by going super nova hot inside of Galactacus! No matter how you look at it Coulson I could have saved them but I didn't" Peter voiced trembled but not with anger or fear Peter was still very much torn over the battle months ago.
"It's not easy Parker, the price of being a hero or a leader is a great cost Johnny knew the risk when he acted behind your back you cannot hold yourself responsible" Coulson stated placing his hand on Peter's shoulder. "You're still young peter in time you will understand but for now bury it deep and lets go home"
Peter slowly exhaled pushing his anger and grief from his body. He knew if he was late again Ava would kill him and aunt May would resurrect him and kill him again. "Alright Uncle Phil let's eat… yeah I'm starving" Peter brazenly said prompting agent Coulson to glare at him as he passed by.
"I hate it when he calls me that…makes me feel like a bald fat guy from a '90s sitcom" Coulson mumbled "Parker! The cars this way" Coulson gestured in the opposite direction.
Meanwhile lingering in the shadows stood a great new threat, a threat to peter Parkers happiness and very life. His long silver hair draped over his black cape as his searing red evil eyes haunted the path Coulson's car traveled "two more Spider-men and my power will be sustained for another century…and I'm getting quite hungry myself" in the blink of an eye Morlun vanished.
Peter and Coulson made the turn to Queens Tunnel, cars flowing in and out. Everything seemed normal. Peter and Coulson kept flipping radio stations debuting over the better tunes "Coulson! Leave it alone!" Peter argued as he fiercely jammed on the radio tuner button.
"Parker driver picks the music passengers keeps his mouth shut" Coulson replied "now quiet or I'll ground you" he finished brining only a nervous gulp from Peters seat. The ride was quiet until an all too familiar tingle exploded in Peter's head
"Spider sense! Now?" "Coulson!"
Peters warning came too late. The car was slammed from its lane into the wall on the other side debris of brick and concrete fell on top of the car collapsing the roof over their heads little streams of water pouring through the damaged wall. "awe man…who called the rhino?" Peter groaned. The car was buckled against the wall and Coulson was pinned in the worst of it he was bleeding from a cut inflicted to his head "Coulson…" Peter called out. But it was pointless acting director Coulson was out cold Peter felt his arms weigh heavy at his sides as he reached to his injured step uncle but just as he reached Coulson's belt his door was torn from the car "what the?" a grey hand reached in a yanked Peter from his seat tearing the safety belt as it did so.
"how nice to see you again Peter Parker" Morlun hissed clenching Peter tightly in his grasp…"
"Who…are…you?" Peter asked staring up at the stranger who held him a death grip.
"so many battles so many earths and yet it's that same question Peter and I am tired of answering it let's just say I am your end" Morlun stiffly replied before throwing Peter down deeper into the tunnel.
Meanwhile in the car Coulson had regained consciousness and caught a glimpse of Morlun and Peter "all teams converge Spider-man is in danger in the Queens Borough tunnel" he choked.
Peter bounced, rolled and skidded across the road shredding his jacket "owe, that hurt" he moaned as he pushed himself up feeling a little light headed "Rrgh, not a fun feeling please Spidey tech don't fail me now" his fingers pressed the buttons on his communicator causing a red and blue symbiote like ooze to run up his arm and drench his body before solidifying into his spider-man suit "let's try this again you ugly grey…" Morlun slowly approached him and Spider-man was able to size him up clearly and he was huge he could rival the hulk in height "crap the bigger they are…the more bones they break"
"so what I've beaten bigger guys than you…maybe not as ugly but still"
Unfazed by Spider-man's attempt at a joke Morlun kept advancing "make this easier on yourself boy I've beaten you and thousands like you and none of you put up any sort of challenge. Nothing personal just nature taking it course" he calmly stated. Spider-man however took a fighting stance prompting Morlun to sullenly shake his head "of course you want to fight, you all wanted to fight and you all died at my hands but most of all….you were all delicious" he snickered as he licked his lips.
"ok that's just unsettling"
Morlun raised his left hand to Spider-man's chest and with a gentle thrust his open palmed strike delivered so much power that Spider-man crashed into the tunnel wall leaving a 12 inch deep imprint in the concrete. "Ok…that just might be the hardest I've ever been hit and I've tangled with Hulk Thing and Power-man" Spider-man choked. He could taste coper in his mouth and feel his lungs pressing against the front of his rib cage even pulling himself from his indent seemed more difficult than he expected. "I might be in trouble with this one" Spider-man quickly rebalanced himself just in time to catch Morlun descending down him "pull it together Web head!" he ordered.
Morlun was quickly approaching Spider-man wasn't sure how it was possible but this monster had to be the strongest being he ever faced. But he wasn't invincible, Spider-man lunged at his opponent launching a barrage assault at his face however Morlun seemed unfazed by his relentless assault. His hands hurt like they were beyond broken but Morlun was unscathed "are you done yet? I have another Spider totem to track down still"
"Huff…huff, seriously? Not even a scratch?" Spider-man panted he had yet to realize how damaged his hands were. His bones were broken and his muscles torn inside his gloves "come on back up where's the back up?" he growled angry at the fact his teammates were late.
"shall we continue?" Morlun taunted waiving Spider-man to him something about this fight was weird Morlun could hit him with no effort and nearly crack him open like an egg yet Spider-man could hit him with every ounce of power he had and didn't even leave a mark.
"Spidey!"
Caught off guard by this intrusion Morlun turned to face several more teenage heroes coming their way "how cute your friends arrived just in time to see your end" he chuckled turning back to Spider-man "it is time we ended this I'm bored and hungry" and with that final remark Morlun swung his fist at full swing into Spider-mans gut breaking his rib cage to pieces "at least they'll know you died trying" he added as Spider-man fell to his knees coughing up blood.
"Hey ugly! Get away from him!" White Tiger screamed as she came pouncing down between Spider-man and Morlun with her electric claws engaged "take one more step and you're finished!" she growled monstrously.
"Ti….ger" Spider-man choked spraying blood down his mask. Tiger didn't know what she was up against this guy would kill her with ease and without hesitation.
Morlun smiled a sinister smile as he looked from White Tiger to Spider-man choking on his own blood from the pavement, there was intent in her voice if he made a motion towards Spider-man she would try with all her might to kill him "I believe you will certainly try young lady" he stated "but I have no quarrel with you I am here for Spider-man only"
"You want him you have to go through us!" Power-man shouted as he and the others surrounded Morlun "you mess with one of us you mess with all of us!"
Morlun scanned the heroes around him, he was far too calm for someone in his place his eyes completed a full circle before falling on Power-man again before responding with his last statement "you shouldn't interfere with nature" and before anyone could react Morlun went on the attack. Power-man was the first, Morlun grabbed him by his face and swung him around before driving him into the wall concrete and metal with streams of water broke loose to the ground but Morluns grip on Power-man's face remained strong as his free hand delivered a few devastating to Power-man's abdomen.
"AAAHRRGHG!" Power-man's cries of pain rang out through the tunnel as his teammates just stood in pure shock, none of them saw Morlun even move to attack let alone have time to react before he pummeled Power-man into the wall, one final blow to the center of Power-man's jawline sent him shooting down the wall, rubble, dust metal and water were now scattered and spraying in across a 12 foot span of the tunnel following Power-man's flight path ending at his unconscious body.
"POWER-MAN!" Nova screamed, he stared in fear at his teammates immobilized body. Spider-man was on the verge of being killed and he was now fearing the worst for Power-man "what kind of monster are you?" He demanded of Morlun.
"Monster?" Morlun repeated turning to face Nova "I seem the monster to you?" he asked staring Nova down "you humans always puzzle me you raise and slaughter animals for your food and don't bat an eye about it but when you see nature take its course a predator devouring its prey you cry out in protest? You call me monster… I suppose to the gentle song bird the cat is a monster yet that is nature and your race punishes the cat for acting its nature. My brethren and I live by feeding on the totems of certain mystic beings in my case the spiders it's not personal just nature…" a snake like smile formed on Morluns lips and in the blink of an eye he flew across the road striking Nova in the helmet launching him out the tunnels far end entrance crashing into a city transit bus with a thunderous crash. Only Nova's legs and feet were visible from the wreckage "…but I do enjoy doing what I do" he chuckled taunting the young heroes. He then turned his attention back to Spider-man who was fighting to even push himself up.
"Damn you! You came here for me! Leave them out of this!" he screamed.
"Spidey shut up!" IronFist hissed "we're a family my friend we've all lost too much we will not let him take you from us"
Spider-man was taken back by IronFists outburst but at the same time he was touched by the sentiment. His body was shattered beyond his healing factor, maybe even healing at all…at least to the point of continuing on as Spider-man his team was outclassed and Coulson needed a medic. "I….won't…" Spider-man was forcing his way to his feet "…let you…hurt anyone…ANYMORE!" he roared. He was on his feet now by all his might he was on his feet "we finish our match first! And you're going to pay for the people you've hurt and what you did to my friends!"
Spider-man's roar rendered the tunnels completely silent even the scared civilians taking shelter poked their heads out to see the battle. Spider-man staggered forward shaking off White Tigers and IronFists supportive hands, his body was ruined there was no strength to fight he was standing on sheer force of will…he would die and he knew it. "Tiger, Fist Coulson needs medical attention and the people need to be cleared out help them" he ordered.
"Spider…" Tiger whimpered.
"I'll be fine just do your jobs and save the innocent don't worry about me"
"I'm going to die here everyone we all know it but don't tell the others"
Reluctantly the others left to treat the people and Coulson, taking Spider-man at his word that he was ok despite Tigers unsettling feeling that he was lying…she knew Peter all too well despite everything that transpired between them they were able to rekindle their flame "Peter I mourned you once please don't make me do it again" White Tiger pleaded to herself.
Morlun smirked to himself as Spider-man struggled his composure "so you've accepted your fate a wise choice" he grinned.
"You're here for me aren't you? You don't care about the others you just want me. Come and get it…then get the hell off my planet and leave my family be!" Spider-man growled back.
"As you wish" Morlun grinned. And with that he leapt at Spider-man sinking his fangs deep into his throat.
"AAAAHHHHRAGGGH!" a blood curdling pain filled cry the tunnel cavern sounding of a tortured soul striking fear into everybody that heard it. The last battle cry of their dying hero.
"Spider-man!?"
Tiger turned tail and ran back to the fight scene her heart was racing the smell of blood stained the air and only grew heavier as she approached the spot where Morlun last stood. But what she found shattered her heart to bits…Spider-man laid in a broken heap upon the ground in a crimson pool of his own blood and a swirling green vortex behind him. "Peter? You can't be…" Ava's eyes burst to tears "why did you have to die?" she sniffled "I love you"
(Earth 613 A)
Dark Spider dropped onto the roof of Madison square garden with no logical sense of reason as to why he was there other than a strange feeling of being lead there. The dusk light was fading on the horizon and the chilled winds swept across the city "it's quiet…to quiet, aaaand I just clichéd my own story"
He scanned the roof trying to understand why he was here when the dust kicked up again a stranger appeared on the corner. He was slightly taller than Dark Spider but not as built, the stranger was leaner with tanner skin and his Mohawk barely covered his tattoo. "You!" Dark Spider snarled "I've been looking for you!"
the stranger unfolded his arms staring Dark Spider down "so I've heard" he scoffed "a little bird tells me you're the oops sorry" he chuckled "you were the one who was bed buddies with that sweet little pussy cat I tore up ha-ha girl was creative and dominant….loads of fun and not even camera shy heh-heh" he taunted knowing it would make Dark Spiders anger spike which it did.
"Shut your damn mouth!" he growled "I'm going to break you to pieces!"
"Heh-heh I'd like to see you try" the stranger taunted as claws sprung from his wrists "first to the finish then?"
Dark Spider has found Daken at last!
Morlun is on his way to the last Spider totem in 316 A.
Ava is guilt ridden over Peter how will their situation fair out?
Dr. Strange is down with a few minor wounds at the hands of Dark Spider what is going through Peter's head now?
