Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Ultimate Spider-Man.
A/N: Sorry for the lateness of updating these, a combination of busy over the holidays for us all and one of the Beta's internet going out.
This is also a double update so read this one first!
Also, I skipped Freaky and Me Time due to them being 90% canon so just added the beginning and ending to Venomous and Strange.
Beta: Jebest4781, Chaos-PSD, Arkham Knight22, and Ryan L. Spradling.
Chapter X: Venomous.
Last Time.
"The Dwarves will keep them 'till you require them again," Thor said than created a portal having a two-headed goat walkout. "But perhaps this will satisfy. A traditional Asgardian Warrior reward."
(Baa!)
"How do we decide on who keeps it?" Spider-Man asked the team.
"All yours."
"You keep it."
"Best field trip ever!" Spider-Man said reaching down to pet one of the heads.
(CHOMP!)
Only for it to bite him. "OW-OW-OW!"
Now.
Night, Times Square.
Shinobi and Spider-Man looked at people running around before looking towards a building where a man walked out with policemen helping him put bags of money into a van.
He's wearing blue armored clothes with a gold gauntlet, cape, and headpiece.
This is Mesmero, a mutant super-villain with the power of hypnosis. He's an enemy of the X-Men.
He then ordered the civilians to attack the duo having the heroes block any attack. Spider-Man jumped on a bus as Naruto was pushed to it.
"LET THEM GO!"
Naruto heard a gruff voice yell out before jumping up to see a man standing at 5'3" wearing a yellow costume that's dark red on the shoulders to the waist in a 'V'.
He's also wearing red trunks, has red around his cowl, showing his 5 o'clock shadow, and red boots, and gloves. He also has three metal claws coming out between each of his knuckles.
This is Wolverine, a mutant superhero and a member of the X-Men.
"He didn't do this, Wolverine! It's Mesmero! By the van!"
Wolverine dashed to Mesmero, pushed him against the van, and brought his left fist underneath the criminal's chin. "You have until the count of three to put them back, Mesmero."
"Who is this guy?" Spider-Man asked as he crouched on the van.
"He's a mutant with the power of mind control and can even swap people's minds," Naruto replied as he stood by Wolverine.
(Snikt!)
One claw came out by Mesmero's right cheek. "One."
(Snikt!)
"Two." Another claw came up by his left cheek. "Wanna see what happens on three? It really hurts."
"OK, OK. I release them!"
Suddenly, Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. came down and arrested Mesmero before talking to Wolverine who was sitting in the van on the money drinking a can of beer.
"Logan, staying out of trouble?"
"Trying to. Til whatever this is happened." Wolverine said pointing to Spider-Man as Naruto stood with Fury.
"You were going to kill him!"
"Sometimes, you've gotta go down to their level kid," Wolverine said leaning on his knees as he finished his beer.
"'Down to their level'?!" Spider-Man asked before turning and failed to form a sentence.
"You've got him speechless, do you know how long I've been trying to do that?" Fury asked Wolverine who stood and tossed his beer in a trash can.
"You got something you wanna say to me, punk?"
"You're the most disgusting person I've ever met."
"You're young," Wolverine said as he turned to leave.
"He was going to kill people-" Spider-Man stopped as Wolverine got in his face and growled.
Midtown High.
Naruto put books away as the team minus Ava tried to get his or Peter's homework due to not doing theirs.
"No, you want to be like normal teens, you do the work," Naruto said as Ava walked up.
"See, he actually has integrity."
"Thanks, Ava, that's why you're my favorite," Naruto said walking to class.
Later, S.H.I.E.L.D. Heli-Carrier.
Shinobi stood with Fury at Mesmero's cell after finding out he switched Wolverine and Spider-Man's mind before walking in and lifted Mesmero up.
"Change them back."
"No."
Naruto smiled before the lights turned off and the others heard screaming. "OK, OK!"
The lights turned back on and they saw a shivering Mesmero on the floor as Spider-Man and Wolverine found themselves back in their own bodies.
A Week Later, Naruto's House.
Naruto was eating breakfast as he read the news on a holographic screen about Spider-Man apparently beating criminals to near death before the doorbell rang.
Going to it, he saw Mary Jane on his porch before speaking. "No Peter?"
"Bolted out of his house when I got to it."
They walked to school and once class started, Naruto saw Peter talking to Harry who was sweating and had bags under his eyes before he left.
"You've gotta trust me, Pete. I trashed the watch."
Naruto heard Harry speak before leaving. 'Well. Harry did take Spider-Man's build at first when starting. Maybe people are thinking it's Pete instead.'
After school, Spider-Man and Shinobi followed Harry around town as he went to his father's work office. A few minutes went by before seeing Venom in the office with Norman having the two speed over and jump through the window.
Spider-Man webbed Venom, only for Venom to grab the webs, and throw him into Naruto having the both of them hit the wall, cracking it. Venom then hits Norman out of the window having Naruto dive after the businessman. He grabs Norman by the ankle and dived to the building, and stuck to it, skidding down several feet from the force of the fall.
Naruto dashed back up to the office to see only Spider-Man was there as security ran in. Norman thanked Naruto for saving him before quickly leaving.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Heli-Carrier.
The Team sat in the meeting room, masks off talking to Fury about Venom.
"Obviously, there's only one way to handle this. Venom needs to be taken down! Right now, whatever it takes." Fury said before each hero in training spoke up.
"You've got it, boss, just point us in the right direction!"
"I'll blast that Goo-Boy into next week!"
"And what of the person he's taken over? You gonna blast them as well?" Naruto asked as he had his hands clasped together on the table.
"Do you know something?" Fury asked the ninja who crossed his arms.
"I know who's in it, but they don't deserve to be on the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hit list because they've been taken over," Naruto explain once he saw Peter was going to open his mouth. 'It'll be better for me to take this heat.'
"Some leader you are! Let me at him!" Ava yelled standing up and pointed at Naruto.
"Not the response I was looking for." Fury said crossing his hands behind his back.
"Too bad, I don't answer to you. I'm only here to train these guys to be the next Avengers. Ooh! I might even qualify for diplomatic immunity, given that I am the only one here from my country." Naruto replied leaning back in his seat.
"If keeping secrets from your own team is how you're playing this. You're off this mission, then."
"Oh no, time off to spend with Natasha at the Tower? Shit, I can't believe you'd do that to me on my first offense. I mean, I'd have to see her in nothing but a towel 2 times a day. Just kill me now." Naruto sarcastically said before leaving.
Oscorp.
Shinobi staked the office building out with Spider-Man who ditched the team as well as webbing up the tunnels at the school. They then saw Venom climb up before giving chase as well. They chased him to a lab where Norman was with two scientists before Venom grabbed Norman and threw him against a console breaking it.
The scientists took Norman out just as the Team dropped in from above and attacked Venom.
"STOP!"
The team stopped as Naruto yelled out, Tiger having a gauntlet on with claws. "I am still your leader and an Avenger. There is an innocent person inside that symbiote and you will hurt them if you continue, so stand down."
"But Fury ordered us to-"
"I don't care. I'm working with S.H.I.E.L.D., not for them. And you are under my leadership even if I'm off this mission, so stand down." Naruto said having Venom get away.
"What's going on?"
Everyone looked back to see Norman walk in, White Tiger hiding her gauntlet behind her back. "Why are you all here? Who asked you to interfere? You need to leave right now!"
"OK, Norman. But just a heads up. I'll be telling S.H.I.E.L.D. this so they'll be here to make sure all of this is legal. So you have a nice day."
Midtown High, Night.
Crack!
Lightning cracked as the team was in the detention room. Nova laying on a table, White Tiger sitting on the one in front of him, legs crossed as Shinobi and Spider-Man sat beside her. And Iron Fist and Power Man standing by the side.
"OK man, it's just us. No teachers, no Coulson, no Fury." Power Man said from the end of the table.
"No witnesses." Nova picked up after Power Man.
"We are standing in a circle of trust." Iron Fist finished as lightning cracked again.
Crack!
"You were protecting Venom!" White Tiger yelled at Naruto who glanced at her after checking her legs out. "From us, why."
"I'm protecting the person inside, whom you all are forgetting about."
"But we're the hero-"
"I don't care. I fought Hawkeye when the Avengers formed as he was mind-controlled to help Loki with the invasion. I will take on the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men if it meant protecting the people... But that's more if they're mind-controlled. And the X-Men have Rogue and Storm."
"Are they the strongest?" Power Man asked the ninja.
"No, they're the hottest. OK, there's Jean as well, but she's engaged or married I think."
"(Sigh) It's Harry Osborn who's trapped in Venom," Spider-Man said before lightning struck, flashing the room.
Crack! Crack!
Lightning cracked several times as the Team nodded. "Makes sense." Power Man said knowing the reason Spider-Man didn't tell them that Harry was Venom was that he is his best friend.
"'Makes sense' that's it? There was dramatic lighting and everything! You understand why we-"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. 'Best friend', 'moral dilemma', blah, blah, blah." Tiger said as she leaned back on her hands.
"He's in over his head, it's not his fault. He can't control it. If we treat him like any other bad guy-"
"What are you all doing here this late at night?"
Spider-Man was interrupted by Fury who came on a hologram over the chalkboard.
"Who authorized this meeting? And what are you doing here?" Fury asked Naruto who was sitting with his legs on the desk.
"Late team bonding/training exercise. I'm training them to fight Venom without hurting the one inside."
"Mm-hmm. Is there any critical information you're leaving out? Any of you?" Everyone kept quiet at that. "Right, so you're all in on it, now? Fine, just remember that thing is still out there, so you're at Threat Level Alpha. Fury out." Fury them turned off communications as Naruto looked to the others.
"Thanks for not turning us in."
"Enough blubbering," Nova said sitting up. "There's still stuff to do."
"So aside from Harry Osborn being trapped inside of it, what else do we know about Venom?" Power Man asked. "Come on, some info we can use here."
White Tiger stood up and held a claw-shaped glass vial with a small amount of Venom in it. "You mean, besides this?"
Spider-Man took it and looked at it. "Let me at the Chem Lab for a bit and I'll whip up an 'Anti-Venom' that'll cure Harry!"
"You can do that?" Tiger asked pointing at Spider-Man with a hand on her hip.
"He can do that." Fist said arms crossed behind his back.
"Don't forget, I made my web shooter remember? Simple chemical compound mixture. Isolate the Hypothalamic Protein, and voila! Easy peasy."
"So, while you're playing professor, it's up to us to find Venom?" Power Man asked.
"He might just find us," Naruto said looking at the Venom sample.
Naruto and the Team walked down the hall as Spider-Man webbed to the Chem lab to fix up the antidote.
"So what's our first step?" Tiger asked as she looked to Naruto.
"Find Venom, He might want to get revenge against Spider-Man and I for keeping him from going after his father and can probably track us with the little Venom we have."
"Where's Spider-Man?"
The Team looked up to see Venom was at the door walking inside.
"Found him," Naruto said before they dashed to Venom and attacked with attacks that would only stun Venom and keep him at bay to allow Spider-Man time to create the antidote.
Spider-Man then ran out with a medical syringe gun and ran down the hall having Venom give chase.
Everyone else followed outside in the heavy rain to see Spider-Man use his webs to flip Venom onto his back. They ran to hold him down as Spider-Man swung up to an antenna to web the antidote and pull it back to him. Venom then climbed up after the arachnid-themed hero and tried to grab Spider-Man who jumped back down to the roof.
CRACK!
Lightning hit the symbiote having him screech, and fall down having Harry pull out slightly. "Help me!"
Venom covered the teen again having Nova use his blast and hit Venom in the back having Spider-Man jump on his back and apply the antidote. Venom then threw the hero off of him and had Spider-Man slide to the others. Naruto looked to see Venom disintegrate leaving a weak Harry on the roof.
The Next Day Hospital.
Shinobi and Spider-Man looked on as Norman talked to Harry before he addressed them. "You brought him in?"
"Is he going to be OK?" Spider-Man asked from the ceiling.
"He'll be fine. This is a family matter, you can go now."
The heroes left out of the window before Norman looked to see a sample of Harry's blood and picked it up. "Hello, Venom."
Dr. Octavius' Laboratory.
Norman walked up to the scientist. "I'm only going to ask this once, Octavius. Did you know about this? Did you know about Harry?"
"Of course not! How could I have known? How could anyone know more about your son… Than you?
"Very well. In any case, I brought you something." Norman said and held out the blood sample. "Spider-Man and Shinobi's interference notwithstanding. See what you can do with this blood sample from my son."
Octavius had a tentacle grab it, and brought it to him. "Oh, I will, Norman. I will give it all of my attention."
S.H.I.E.L.D. Heli-Carrier.
Shinobi watched as the Team was combat training with robots as Spider-Man stopped it and thanked them for helping out.
"No problem. we're a team and your friends, Web-Head." Power Man said.
"So no more secrets, deal?" Tiger asked stepping up and pointed at Naruto and Spider-Man.
"Trust is the strongest bond." Iron Fist said bringing his hands together.
"I know that now. I couldn't have done it without you. Except for the Anti-Venom. You guys don't know your beakers from your elbow. But you know, other than that."
"You smug little-!" Tiger was interrupted as Power Man stopped her and Nova turned on the robots having them attack Spider-Man for keeping a secret from them.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.
Beta: Jebest4781, Chaos-PSD, Arkham Knight22, and Ryan L. Spradling.
Well, I played Spider-Man for the PS4.
The good: Best Spider-Man game I've played, 1st game in a long time where I had pure fun as there was no part I hated to get through/level I didn't like and the very 1st game I wanted to 100% and I absolutely don't like to do that for games and 1st playthrough got a 96% with only finding hidden photo spots, stopping all crime in each section as there are 20 crimes for every 8 sections of the city. And finding/getting all 53 Daily Bugle headlines left.
The Bad: Story's predictable if you are a Spider-Man fan. Same like Arkham: Knight you knew the twist coming/knew where they were going. No innovations I guess but when the last DLC came out someone said they probably wanted to play it safe as this is their 2nd open-world game, 1st game with an I.P. they didn't own and 1st game with arguably Marvel's biggest I.P. And third, New Game+ only because it forces you to get all collectibles and get each tower again!?
Now they did say at least for a DLC message that's to get more points to unlock a suit/gadget/mods using the points you're not the best at getting but really having to get stuff I already completed 100% again?! The only one I understand is the challenges but that's only because you have a boss battle tied to them.
And this being exclusive. Although I wasn't mad at that as I heard/read it was Marvel going to Sony saying "we want you to make a game out of one of our I.P.'s and treat it as a AAA game." Sony agreed and they both went to Insomniac and asked who they wanted and they chose Spider-Man So... Spider-Man was chosen last and not just a money thing. BUT Marvel is doing exclusives on other consoles as the Switch is now getting Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3!
Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf Out.
