Chapter 28: Power of the Totem
(The Domain of the White Gorillas, the Ancient Cave, present)
M'Baku laughed in glee as he felt the totem work its magic (literally). He could feel the power surging through his entire body. His body was soon a blank figure in the overwhelming aura of red & brown mystic energy.
(This doesn't look good.)
They could see M'Baku's body take a change. His body shifted into a different form. His arms and legs became larger. The villain's torso became more filled out as to a huge proportion. Man-Ape's entire figure just became larger and more definite than before. All could hear his laughing stop for a second as the aura intensified and everyone closed their eyes. Then the red & brown light disappeared. They all opened their eyes to look, and each one of them was frozen.
"Incredible." Kraven chuckled with delight. "No…t-that's impossible." Tony gasped. "HAHAHA!" M'Baku laughed with a huge bellow.
M'Baku had gone under a startling transformation. He now stood 8 ½ feet tall upright. His arms are a least twice the size of their original circumference as well as his legs. The villain's hands & feet had changed into those of an ape. His body is covered in short pure white fur, with his back marked as that of a Coalback. His chest is the deep gray of the White Gorilla. His head is now that of one of the primates itself. He had taken the form of an anthropomorphic white gorilla. When he opened his eyes they blazed like a literal fire. The center glows red while the streaming free ends of the flame are brown as it literal surrounds the glowing eyes. M'Baku grinned, revealing his huge, intimidating canine teeth. He then beat his chest with his gigantic fists as he let out a bellowing roar. Spidey and his allies stood there in shock.
(THIS IS NOT GOOD!)
"Now let us see who is stronger! HAHAHA!" M'Baku laughed, his voice still the same.
Kraven held out his hand. M'Baku grinned as he gave the object back to his ally. M'Baku leapt at the group, growling as he did. No longer did the sounds he let out sound mostly human, they were now pure bestial. Because of this, his assault was far more intimidating. Spider-Man held on tight to Tiger as he leapt away.
"Get her to safety!" The Panther ordered as he dodged out of the way of another strike. "No! We're staying!" Tiger hissed as she got of Peter's grasp. "Tiger!" The teen screamed. "Sorry Spidey, but we've got work to do!" Tiger grunted. "Not that, look out!" Peter screamed as he leapt down and pushed her out of the way.
She skidded on the ground to see M'Baku had smashed one of his huge fists into Spider-Man, a horrific cracking sound heard in result. Tiger's eyes opened wide with fear. She screamed in despair at seeing Spidey fall to the ground. Tiger could smell the blood on him, the attack having crushed his rib cage instantly. He coughed horrifically. Panther and Iron Man raced towards Man-Ape, sending for a barrage of attacks. M'Baku just grunted in annoyance as she tried swatting them away. Tiger rushed over to Spidey. Quickly she pulled off his mask to see the teen's extremely pained face. Spider-Man had never ever felt such a brutal blow before. The Hulk's strike was nothing compared to the power of the totem. Tiger pulled off her mask, her eyes wet with tears. She grabbed his face. His weary, weak eyes looked into her's.
"PETER! NO! PLEASE! NO! NO! NO! NO!" She cried out in despair. "Ow…that hurt…" He grunted in pain. "It's going to be ok…I-I'll…" She gasped, but stopped when he put a hand on one of her's. "Ava…I'm sorry…" He gasped, his eyes barely staying open. "N-No, come on. We'll head back to New York, and we'll take that little break. We'll be alone, together. Forget training here, it'll just be the two of us." She said, sadness thick in her voice. "F-Forget me…they need your help. Go…Go!" He grunted.
She continued to cry, her hair covering her face as she put her head against his chest. Then she heard the snarling growls of the one who crushed Peter. She looked up, eyeing M'Baku. She tossed her hair back and put on her mask. Her eyes narrowed with hatred. She ran at him, letting out a vicious growl. He turned to see a lithe foot smashing into his face. He could actually feel the hit some. M'Baku eyed the girl, his eyes blazing with rage. He opened his mouth and let out a fearsome growl. Iron Man shot a repulsor blast, but it had no effect.
"Not even a scratch!" He grunted. "We are facing a magic over 10,000 years old! Did you really think that your gadgets would harm it?!" The king grunted as faced off with Man-Ape. "I've waited for this T'Challa. Now I'm the stronger one!" M'Baku hissed.
The king didn't know what to do. M'Baku seemed unstoppable; the strength of the white gorilla spirit had given M'Baku incredible power. Then it hit him.
"The totem! Grab the totem!" The king shouted.
But Kraven and the totem weren't anywhere in sight. Then they heard a horrific sound, and all of them (including M'Baku) turned to see the reason: Kraven had stuck one of his energy daggers into Peter's chest. He turned and wickedly grinned at them. M'Baku chuckled.
'No…No….First dad…now…I…I…No….No…' She gasped in her mind then vocally screamed, "NOOO!"
Before any of them could move, Kraven grasped the object by itself in his hand before him. The object glowed red & orange as it changed into the shape of a ratel. The consuming light caused Kraven's body to change into a blank figure. His body too changed. The villain's body grew. His head elongated and something snaked behind him.
"AHHH! THE POWER!" Kraven yelled in triumph.
The light disappeared. Everyone stared in shock. Kraven now stood 7 feet tall. His body has thickened to a degree. His body is covered in black hair while his back is covered in a white coat. The villain's head and elongated to a degree and kind of flat. His hands are now set with long claws while those on his feet are relatively shorter. Behind him is a short tails covered in long hairs. He also had the same shaped (literal) flaming eyes, except the center of his glows orange awhile the outside burns red. Kraven opened his mouth, revealing his sharp teeth. He let out a hissing growl.
"A ratel, the honey badger." The king grunted. "Interesting, I believed myself to be the lion. But the most fearless animal will do just fine." The villain chuckled.
He put down the totem beside Peter. Kraven stood up and growled at them. M'Baku snarled to add to the bestial chorus. White Tiger thought she saw the Wild Totem glow red & blue for a second. But soon her attention switched to the charging form of the now transformed Kraven.
