OK, for those of you who are still mad at me for killing Peter off in the previous chapter, I'm sorry. But I had to in order to make this work. Please try not to be mad at me long enough to enjoy this chapter. I think you're gonna like it. ;)


***Uncharted Island, Deep Forest***

Ava slouched as she stood, tied to a big tree. She had been crying, and with good reason. She'd just watched the only person she had left to care for or who cared about her be killed. Even though her vision was blurry, she had just assumed the worse. She had to sob in silence as she had been carried through the forest, and into this small camp with a big bonfire in front of a big tree.

That's how she got this way. She could've fought her way out, but after what she saw, she didn't feel it. She'd never get to work with Peter, never get to laugh with, hug him... Or love him. Yes, she had fallen for the young spider themed hero. And he was a hero. Not just to the world, but to her especially. He had helped her when she was down and comforted her she scared... But now he was gone. And it was all because of that no-good, sadistic bearded man, Kraven.

"Ah, the tigress has woken up from her little cat nap," a voice said.

'Speak of the devil,' Ava thought as she looked up with a look of disgust on her face.

"Awww, such a sad sad face," The Hunter taunted lifting her chin with his fingers. To which Ava flinched away without hesitation.

"Just tell me one thing," she said in a warning tone, "Did I see what I think I saw on that beach? Did you kill him, is Peter dead?"

"Ah, your little Spider friend. Well, I'm sorry to tell you this, but your little friend is gone."

Ava felt her world crumble around her as she heard those words. Now she was truly alone.

"But you should be happy, Ava." Kraven continued, "You're about to witness something glorious. Something your father never could have done."

"DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT MY FATHER, YOU SADISTIC FREAK!" Ava exclaimed, "You don't deserve to talk about him. You took him from me. You took my mother, and now my friend. I have nothing left, so why don't you just get it over with?"

"Because I want you to see what true powers looks like."

"Does it look anything like this?" A voice said before a sticky substance flew onto Kraven's eyes, temporarily blinding him.

Ava looked around in both relief and confusion. She didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but that voice. She knew that voice, it was... No it couldn't be, could it?

She was brought out of her thoughts when one of Kraven's goons was swiftly pulled into the jungle brush. Then another two had their heads bashed against each other before they were pulled out of sight. The fourth guy pulled out his gun and shot in multiple directions. He stopped when the clip was empty, hoping he'd hit something. He re-aimed his gun and waited. When he least expected, a web line grabbed his gun and pulled it up. He was about to run when another was shot down and pulled him up I to the trees. The last two stood in a back-to-back position, and kept their eyes on the trees, hoping that they could see what pulled the last guy up.

"Down here, boys," the voice said again. They looked down and saw two red hands sticking out from underneath a bush before they started firing their guns. When they stopped, they slowly started to walk into the brush to see if they shot whatever or whoever it was.

Ava watched as they disappeared into the brush. When they were completely out of sight, she started wriggle out of the rope that held her to the tree. After what seemed to be five minutes, but in reality was only twenty seconds, she was free and made a brake for the forest. She was almost into the bushes when she was grabbed from behind and thrown back against the tree.

She winced and slowly opened her eyes to be met with two glowing lime green eyes belonging to Kraven. She looked down at his chest to see that he had put the amulet on and was now using it's power. His grip was stronger, and he seemed taller. It was changing him, and not the good kind of change. More like the scary evil change.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked with the growl of a tiger in his voice.

"I don't know about you, but we're gettin' outta here!" The familiar voice said.

The two looked up to see a flash of red and blue before it pounced on Kraven and knocked him out. As the figure stood up, Ava saw that the mysterious person was none other than that sweet wall-crawler, Spider-Man. He pulled off his mask to reveal Peter with a smile.

"You OK?" He asked.

"PETER!" Ava exclaimed throwing her arms around him and squeezing tightly. "But how? I saw on the ground, you were-... I-I-...I thought you were dead?"

"Believe me, so did I," Peter replied, returning the hug without hesitation, "But it turns out the bullet just grazed me."

He broke the hug to show her his right shoulder which had mark on it made by the bullet.

"Are you OK?" Ava asked sincerely.

"Yeah it's just a flesh wound. Now let's get outta here."

Peter grabbed her hand, which she gladly took, and they were about to run when-

(GROWL)

They turned to see Kraven on the ground shaking like he was having a seizure.

"What's happening to him?" Peter asked.

"It's too late, the tiger is free," she said as they saw tiger fangs grow where his canines were. "Run!"

They ran for a good while before the stopped and climbed up a tree. They were able to catch their breath before they heard that familiar growl. They looked back to see Kraven still chasing them. He jumped from branch to branch with such grace, just like a tiger.

"I can feel it, I can feel the power coursing through my veins," He said with his voice sounding more and more like a growl, "This power is invigorating, it's perfection, it's-"

He was cut off by Peter webbing his mouth.

"We get it already, it's power." He groaned.

Kraven's eyebrows scrunched as he ripped the webs off of his mouth. "Foolish child, you think your webs can hold the power of the amulet? Behold!"

He was starting to shake again. Only this time, the amulet was glowing and had changed shape. Kraven's skin was turning white and cut was starting to grow on it. Peter and Ava were frozen stiff at the site of this transformation.

The man before them was changing color and growing fur. When it had stopped, he was completely white with black stripes on his arms, legs and on the ends of his face. He had also grown. He'd grown two feet taller than he already was. He raised his head and looked down on the two teens. They couldn't look away from the being right in front of them. Their enemy, Kraven The Hunter had turned into a 7 foot tall anthropomorphic white tiger with clothes on.(A/N: A brown T-shirt and black pants. Just think of the pants on the Hulk and you got it.)

He let out a loud roar that shook the entire island.

"What happened to him?" Peter managed to get out.

"The man is gone now," Ava explained, "He's all animal now."

She shook her head, grabbed Peter's hand and pulled on him to which the two of them started to run faster than they ever had. As they ran, they could feel the ground shaking from the creature that was chasing them. Thinking quickly, Peter looped his arm around Ava's waist, shot a line on a branch, and the two swung up. Once on the branch, they looked down to see Kraven run right past the tree and sat down to catch their breath. Peter looked over at Ava who had her head down with a face of disappointment.

"Ava, what's wrong?" He asked.

"It's over, Peter," She said shaking her head, "I can't fight Kraven. I don't any powers, I lost the amulet. And I'm nothing without it."

Peter was taken aback by that statement. How could she say that? "Ava, that's not true. I saw the footage of you fighting those three guys robbing that bank. You didn't have the amulet then, did you?"

"Well, no. But-"

"But nothing, you fought those guys off using nothing but your skills and your courage. And that's what makes you the White Tiger, not the amulet. It's you, Ava Ayala."

"Peter, those were three NORMAL-SIZED humans. Not giant tigers! How am I supposed to go up against Kraven like that?"

"Simple. One, avoid the claws on that bad kitty. Two, don't doubt yourself. And Three, don't forget that I've got your back every step of the way."

Once again, Ava was amazed at the amount of bravery coming from Peter. And that put a smile on her face. It reminded the fire in her.

'Wait, fire?' she thought. She turned back towards the campsite and a grin slipped into her face.

"I've got an idea," she said turning back to look at Peter.

"Does this idea include our survival at the end?" Peter asked slightly worried.

"Only if we work together."

"Team Spider-Tiger?" Peter said holding up something white. She took it and realized it was her father's White Tiger costume. She had brought it with her in hopes of being able to wear it, guess now was her chance.

"Team Spider-Tiger." She said taking it with a smile.
