Guest of honor: I guess it was a stupid change…but I wanted to add it in. I guess I'm crazy & stupid like that.
Death Fury: Thanks
Chapter 43: Unfinished Business
(NYC, Empire State Building, Doom's throne room, moments later)
The ghost of Mordred laughed as he cackled at his return. He held the sword Doom once had in his hand and his other hand glowing pure white laughing like a madman. The group looked at him with shock, fear, or a mix of the two.
"Mordred? You mean…Mordred! The one…" Hulk started.
"Yes monster! The one true king of Camelot! Oh how I have waited an eternity to unleash my wrath on my enemies! Hahahahha!" Mordred laughed.
"What do you mean?!" Power Man asked.
"That fool that lies before thee destroyed m physical body!" Mordred growled, pointing to Doom.
"You…I destroyed you…how…how are you still here?" Doom grunted weakly.
The specter began to chuckle; the sound was bone chilling. The room literally dropped several degrees in temperature as the spirit laughed.
"When you destroyed my physical body you sent my spirit into a state of voyage. I drifted for an eternity through time and space because of the spell you cast. Through that experience I learned mystic secrets and continuously improved my abilities as a spirit. Once you created the mystic portal to this time, I came along with thee. During the travel, I began to plant my roots into two places. Now…it is time to exact my vengeance!" Mordred explained.
"We have defeated him! He has done atrocities in our time and to people we care about! He is done!" Hulk grunted.
"I care not for thee monster! This pretender is mine!" Mordred growled, then fired a bolt of blue & white lightning at Doom.
Iron Man fired a blast from his right repulsor. The energy surge collided with the lightning, but was then shredded by the lightning and hit Iron Man. The lights on his armor suddenly shut off and Tony fell then hit the ground in his armor which and been completely shut off.
"Guys! My armor has been shut off! I-I can't turn it back on!" Tony called out.
"What?!" Nova gasped.
"*Growls* Fool…let me have Doom and his allies, and I shall spare your lives." Mordred grunted.
"So this is your unfinished business?" Power Man grunted.
"What does thou speak of?" Mordred asked.
"It's a saying from our time involving ghosts…spirits." Power Man replied.
"No matter." Mordred stated.
"H-How…how has the space-time continuum not changed?" Doom gasped.
"That spell exists by my will. For if I ended it like the other, I would not have drained you of your mystic power!" Mordred replied.
"Other?" Doom grunted.
There was suddenly groaning and the group turned to see Doom Captain & Doom Wolverine slowly getting out of their heaps. They clutched their heads and groaned in pain.
"Ohh…I…I don't feel so good" Doom Captain groaned, slowly changing back into the form of Captain America when he faced Doom in Camelot as a red mist evaporated in the air off him.
"I-I'm gonna…break some…bones…bub…uugghh." Doom Wolverine groaned, changing back to Wolverine when he faced Doom in Camelot the same way Cap did.
The group couldn't believe their eyes. Hulk and Thor hurried to their side. Thor helped Cap stand up, and Hulk did the same with Wolverine.
"Captain! Are you alright?" Thor gasped.
"T-Thor? H-How?...Where am I?" Cap gasped.
"Logan, calm down. It's me." Hulk said.
"Hulk? Grah…How?" Wolverine grunted.
Doom and Taskmaster looked at them in shock.
"How…How is this possible?" Doom gasped.
"By taking the power from the one who cast the spell ends it unless the one who stole that same power allows it to live. I have no use for it." Mordred answered.
"Does that mean?" Siren gasped.
The group then heard another groaning voice. Tiger & Siren gasped to see Doom Spider-Man change back into Spider-Man the way he was when he fought Doom in Camelot.
"PETER!" Both heroines gasped excitedly as they quickly hugged him.
(Ohhhohhhohhh! W-Where…Where am I?...Ohhhh…Huh…g-guys? I-Is…Huh? I-I'm back! H-How?!)
"Huh…T-Tiger? I-It's great to see you again! W-Wait…Who are you?" Spider-Man gasped.
Siren then took off her helmet, revealing her face.
"MJ?!" Spidey gasped.
(WOW! Man I've missed a lot!)
"Peter! We're so glad you're back! Now we can do what we've been waiting to do for so long!" MJ cried.
Spidey's eyes widened in surprise.
(Guys? Do you think?)
Suddenly he was then hit by a barrage of punches from both girls.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?! YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN PIGHEADED! BUT THIS?! THHIIIISSS?!" MJ roared.
"YOU'VE FUCKING IDIOT! YOU ARE SO STUPID! SO FUCKING STUPID! I'M GONNA KILL YOU FOR THIS!" Ava roared.
(O-Ok…so not what I was hoping for.)
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! OOWWWW!" Spidey cried out in pain.
"Girls! That's enough! If you keep hitting him there won't be anything left of him!" Power Man called out.
The two stopped hitting him. Spidey groaned, even though he had armor on…their hits practically made his armor feel like paper.
"A-Are…you two done?...I can't feel my face." Spidey groaned.
Tiger took off her mask. Spider-Man took off his helmet and then his mask. All three of them looked at one another with smiling, teary faces.
"We're glad you're back." The girls said.
"Glad to be back." Peter replied.
(Nothing could ruin this.)
"Wait…you said you planted your roots in two places…I was one…where was the other?" Doom groaned.
Mordred chuckled then looked at Peter. The ghost chuckled.
(No! It can't be! No! NNOOO!)
Mordred then fired this blue & white surge of mystic energy at Peter.
"PETER!" Ava & MJ screamed in fear.
Suddenly the room was consumed in blue & white light. Some time later, the heroes (including Captain America & Wolverine were chained to the ground with mystic chains. The group groaned as they woke up. They saw Doom, Taskmaster, and the elite Doombots lying on the ground.
"W-What happened?" Cap groaned.
"W-Where's Peter? Peter! PETER!" MJ called out.
"PETER! PETER!" Ava cried out.
Thee group then heard chuckling. About 10 feet in front of them and about from the villains lying on the floor. It was Spider-Man…but…he was different. He had his suit on…but it was different. The former red part is now blue and the former blue part is now white. Where the spider emblem was, is now a bladed star. His eyes now also glow a light blue, a lighter blue than the deep sea blue of the uniform. On his waist is a white mystic belt with a white mystic scabbard holding the sword. His hands are behind his back, clasped together.
"Peter?...No…Not again…" Ava & MJ gasped in unison.
"I'd forgotten what it was like to be mortal…it feels…sillier than I remember." Mordred Spider-Man, said with Mordred's voice, while approaching the group.
"That's just Peter! Let him go!" Ava growled.
Mordred Spider-Man slightly threw his head back and laughed. Ava hissed as she tried to slash him, but couldn't reach him because of the chains…though they felt…odd to her.
"While you rot here, I shall finish these fools and return to my home to claim the throne of Camelot!" Mordred Spider-Man said, then turned then walked towards the villains.
"MJ come on! We have to get out of these chains!" Ava growled.
"But…he's got Peter…he…he…" MJ gasped.
"Don't give up on him! Come on!" Ava said to her.
MJ nodded. Both girls tried to shake and break their bondage. Doom and Taskmaster woke up then looked up at Mordred Spider-Man. The elite Doombots slowly tried to rise.
"S-Spider-Man?" Taskmaster gasped.
"No you fool. Heh he." Mordred Spider-Man chuckled.
"No." Taskmaster gasped.
"I know this boy in here would originally want your life to be spared…he sort of till does…but not as much as he once did. Heh heh…plus…this is for also taking part in ruining my chances of taking Camelot." Mordred Spider-Man grunted in response.
"I…I didn't do anything to you." Taskmaster gasped.
"Well…I feel no sorrow for ending someone who sided with my enemy." Mordred Spider-man chuckled.
Taskmaster suddenly then leapt at the possessed Spider-Man. However, he only felt a powerful hand grip his throat. Taskmaster clawed at the hand holding his throat, but suddenly a sickening crack was echoed through the room. Taskmaster's body suddenly went limped then dropped to the ground in a heap. The former mercenary and field marshal was now a broken corpse. The heroes all looked in shock at the scene.
"Now…for you…Doom." Mordred Spider-Man said.
The elite Doombots then stood up and prepared to strike. Suddenly Mordred Spider-Man's right hand rose up and opened. Suddenly a stream of fire surged towards the machines and consumed them. Doom looked on in shock as his machines literally just melted into nothingness before his eyes.
"Now…it's your time…time to die…fool." Mordred Spider-Man chuckled.
With the same hand, Mordred Spider-Man shot a bolt of blue & white lightning at Doom. Doom cried out in pain as he was mystically electrocuted by the possessed Spider-Man. Then there were no more cries. Mordred chuckled and ended his attack. He walked over to the dead dictator and tore off his mask. The ghost nearly vomited from his host's body at the sight of Doom's face.
"No wonder you sought magic. No matter, you are dead now." Mordred chuckled.
He then turned to the heroes.
"Now it is time to return to Camelot and take what is rightfully mine." Mordred chuckled.
"You won't get away with this!" Captain America growled.
"Heh heh heh, I already have. Once I return to my time, the magic restraining you will be gone…but you will not be able to come for me in the past…but soon enough…you'll be in a state that you don't even know why. We will not me again." Mordred chuckled.
"Bastard." Wolverine growled as he tried to reach him.
Mordred lifted his left hand and opened it. Before him a large swirling white & blue portal appeared before him.
"No! You won't take him!" MJ growled.
"You won't take Peter!" Ava growled.
Suddenly their mystic chains suddenly broke. Mordred looked on in shock. Ava put on her mask and MJ grabbed her helmet, which was close by, then put it on. The two rushed at Mordred Spider-Man. The girls tackled the possessed Spider-Man, but all fell into the portal. Then the portal disappeared.
"NNOO!" The heroes chained up cried out.
To be continued…
