Noble Six: Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it

MAB86: Glad you liked it. Yeah, Drifter was pretty pissed. I thought Juggernaut would be a good choice.

The Story's Shadow: Indeed they are. Well when they work together, they can do anything. Sheriff has good reason not to trust me considering he was working with Chameleon and in his world, they didn't have good history.


Dark Web's World - The Web

The soldiers were preparing their artillery and militia. Though Dark Web wasn't going to send all of them at once he at least wanted to make sure just in case if anything happened. A group of soldiers nearby were having a conversation about recent events.

"I mean, damn man that was brutal" one of them exclaimed.

"I know, I mean was it really necessary to do that to him?" one of them asked his fellow soldiers. "I mean, sure he messed up once but that doesn't mean can't have a second chance, right?"

"You heard him. He doesn't give second chances. I mean I understand what you're saying but when Dark Web makes a decision he goes through with it. He knows what will happen if it happens again. I just wish the captain's death wasn't so...horrific"

"Yeah, even though he could get on our nerves, I'll always remember how he always gave us the respect we deserve on the missions" the third member said to the other two.

One of them asked "So, what happened to his body?" The soldier asked the rest of his fellow soldiers.

"What happens to the rest of the failed troopers and captains? They get thrown down into Deadworld and get forgotten"

The soldiers then saw a lieutenant walking towards them. They quiet their conversations and salute to him. "Sir" they all replied.

"At ease men'' The soldiers relaxed a bit.

The head of the group of soldiers asked "What can we do for you sir?"

"We've had a report from the...MHK that they will need a supply drop. Their reason being is that the group of heroes they are fighting have teamed up with The Avengers" The lieutenant replied to the group.

"So, we should tell Lord Dark Web about this right away" the grouped leader inquired.

"Right you are, report back when you get his answer."

The group saluted him and he did it back to them. The group left the hangar bay to the Throne Room.

The Throne Room

Dark Web was sitting on his Throne, pondering about the recent news about Drifter's return and his gathering of other spiders. "So either he managed to find a way out by using a transporter he hid or he hitched a ride from a traveller. Either way, he's not going to continue to breathe when I'm done with him and the other spiders"

The doors of the room then opened and a group of Dark Webs soldiers came in. They walked in front of the throne and bowed before Dark Web. "My lord, we have something to report." one of the soldiers replied.

"What is it soldier?" Dark Web asked in a patient tone.

"We have retrieved a message with Gilder Squad 2343 and..."

Dark Web then interrupted him. "I'm sorry what?" Dark Web said jokingly in a cold way

"...The Mega Hero Killers," The soldier answered. Dark Web then gave a small smirk. "And they said that they have activated the pillar and inserted it into the Earth."

Under his mask, Dark Web's small smirk quickly turned into an evil wide grin. "Well, it looks like things are progressing thoroughly as I thought." Dark Web then looked down at his soldiers. Dark Web then asked if there were any more to inform. "Anything else?"

They're also requesting a transport of weapons and artillery" The soldier added.

Dark Web then held his chin and started to ponder. "Hmm, interesting. And tell me why should I when I told them that if they failed they would have their heads on god damn spikes?"

The solder gulped in response. "They have reported that the heroes that they were dealing with have gathered the help from the Avengers of that world." The soldier replied to his lord.

Dark Web then sighed "Ah, so The Avengers are getting involved now. I thought it would be a while for that to happen but still"

"So, how should we proceed, my lord?" the solder asked.

Dark Web thought for a second and said "Send them a small half of the supplies" Dark Web said to his soldier who was a bit confused but this.

"Sir, why a small half?" The solder asked carefully.

"Well, if they're fighting against the world's greatest heroes...so to say, then I want to give them a fighting chance, the avengers not my soldiers. I mean, I may be evil and ought to kill anyone one who stands in my way...but I'm not a dick"

"But sir, what should be done about the oncoming spiders that are gathering more and more of them?" one of the soldiers asked.

Dark Web pondered for a bit and thought of something for a brief moment. "Leave that to me, besides I'm sure I'll think of something. After all, I am the lord of the web"

"But sir, what about Drifter? And him taking Spiders from other worlds?" One of the soldiers asked.

Dark Web thought for a moment before giving his answer. "Well, seeing that the soldiers I've sent to find them haven't got even one god damn spider...I might have to pull out a very risky plan involving a few monsters" Dark Web said to the soldiers.

One of the other soldiers then spoke up "Of course sir, besides your enemies don't stand a chance against you. You are the lord of the web and ruler of the multi..." Dark Web then webbed his mouth.

"Stop brown nosing. Anyway thank you for the report, now get that off you before it becomes poisonous"

The soldier then panicked and quickly left the room. The other two were proceeding to leave the room. "Stop" Dark Web ordered. The two soldiers nervously looked back at their leader. He then pointed at the one on the left. "You, I want to talk to you"

The other soldier whispered to him and said "Good luck friend" The soldier then whispered to his friend.

"You don't think he's going to kill me?" The other soldier reassured him.

"No, he wouldn't kill soldiers for no reason...Unless he wants to which he's..."

"He's remarkably good at listening," Dark Web said, suddenly appearing in front of them.

They were both started by the sudden presence of their lord. "S...sorry sir I..." Dark Web raised his hand in front of him, stopping him from speaking.

"I just want to talk, my friend" Dark Web reassured. He then looked at the other solder "that means you can get the fuck out of my sight"

The soldier then left the room. "So then, solder do you remember the last we saw of Drifter?" Dark Web asked.

The soldier stuttered "W...well sir, we last saw him on world 7112 or as you called it and I quote 'Boring as shit world' and Drifter was trapped there."

"And who saw this happen as we left him for dead" Dark Web continued.

"You did sir. You told us to hold our fire and continue on to other worlds." The soldier replied.

"Yes, so with all that explained, tell me this...how the hell did he manage to piggyback onto us and manage to grab the spider of the world we are invading, along with others we haven't gone to yet?"

The solder struggled to give an answer to an impossible question "Uh...I...uh" The solder tried to say something but being near his lord was enough to scare him into silence.

"Well? I'm waiting, '' Dark Web said to the soldier.

"I...I don't know sir, I was with the other soldiers trying to repel the local heroes" the soldier answered.

Dark Web sighed in response and said "Oh well. Don't worry I won't kill you...today. Go with the rest and leave this little spider problem with me okay?" Dark Web said lightly.

"Y-yes sir" the soldier responded.

"That 'a boy now off you pop" Dark Web said while giving him a pat on the head.

The soldier then left the room, leaving Dark Web to think of a different method "Well. I guess none of my soldiers are capable of catching them. Then I guess I'll have to retort to...'them'" Dark Web then thought for a moment before decided to leave the Throne Room.

Hallways

A few soldiers were hanging around the hallways talking about events that happened or just anything. "And that's how the guys and I managed to trap that spider" The solder chuckled I swear he couldn't..." The soldier shut himself up after seeing Dark Web.

He instantly kneeled before his leader as did the other soldiers who were there. He just simply walked by the kneeling soldiers. Dark Web wasn't paying attention to them. He was heading for the elevator for the underground area of his fortress.

Dark Web then entered the elevator and it proceeded to head down. Dark Web was standing there patiently "What does Drifter think he's doing? Doesn't he know that the more he tries to fight back the harder it gets? No matter how many spiders' skulls I've ripped apart" Dark Web mused.

Dark Web then looked up to see he was still in the elevator and it bored him. He thought to himself "Oh god this is getting boring, maybe a little music will suffice"

Dark Web then looked up and said "System" Dark Web ordered.

"Yes Lord Dark Web, how can I be of assistance to you?" A robotic voice spoke out.

"Play track 15, I need a little of the good suspenseful and downright dark music"

"Playing track 15" The sound speaker then turned on. It was playing Underground by Tom Waits. Dark Web listens to the dark melody of the song. "Ah, nothing more than what goes on underneath. Plus, it's good to hear from one of the classics"

The Underground of the Web.

(Underground by Tom Waits)

"Rattle big black bones in the danger zone there's a rumbling' groan down below"

Dark Web grinned. How he loved this one

The elevator stopped and Dark Web got off. He had entered an underground, it was filled with soldiers doing many things, blacksmithing new weapons and just building anything they were told to.

The underground had a giant hole in the middle of the area. And around it were many platforms surrounding the hole. There was a staircase leading down to the very bottom of the hole. This place was so vast and deep with no real source of light.

"There's a big dark town, it's a place I've found. There's a world going on underground"

He continued to walk and while he did there were soldiers near him who bowed as well like the others did. "They're alive. They're awake. While the rest of the world is asleep"

As Dark Web walked down to the middle he could hear moans and animalistic snarls. Dark Web continued to go down there.

"Below the mineshaft roads, it will all unfold. There's a world going on underground"

Dark Web was nearing the underground cells he was heading for. One of the scientists walked beside him "Good day my lord!" the scientist said towards him.

Dark Web simply sighed. "What the hell do you want? Uh" Dark Web trying to think of a name.

"Oh my name is Arthur..." He tried to say but he was interrupted.

"Shut up. I don't care what your name is, what do you want?"

"Well, I just thought I should tell you that the portal is stable" the Scientist said to his lord.

"I could tell that by looking at the big purple and black swirly thing we have in our skies. So unless you have anything else don't waste my time and I won't implant my mace into your skull" Dark Web replied darkly.

"Ah yes my lord. I understand. I just have to know what brings you down here." He asked.

Dark Web looked at him for a second. "I'm here for the test subjects"

The scientist looked at him with a worried face "Um...are you going to kill one and tell him how grand you are" He asked nervously.

"No, they're going to help me bring the spiders"

Some of the people around the area heard what he said. They couldn't say anything because they didn't want to risk their lives.

"My...my lord. I strongly advise..." Dark Web then gave him a cold glare. "I mean...are you sure. Ever since you gathered the specimen they've had a strong hatred for you"

"Who hasn't? Not including the ones who I've killed, beaten and others need not to be mentioned" Dark Web said simply.

"Well, I wish you good luck on your endeavours" The scientist said towards him.

"I wish I could say the same for you" Dark Web said back to him.

The scientist was confused by what Dark Web just said. "What do you mean by that?"

"Well, I only happen to notice this problem now but I might as well bring it up. Ever since we abandoned Drifter on that boring as shit world, there just happens to be a shortage of one portable transporters, a few power cells to charge said transporter, a data card contains a list of worlds that we haven't gone to yet and a case of the our vials"

The scientist was now shaking in fear in front of his leader. "And do you know who was in charge of those particular items? Arthur" Dark Web said with a simple smile.

The scientist chuckled and said "Um...me?" The scientist said fearfully.

"Yes! you!" Dark Web said in a chipper tone. "So...what do you have to say for this little problem?"

"Uh...uh...I'm sorry?" The scientist nervously chuckled in fear.

Dark Web gave him a dark look before chuckling himself "Heh heh heh... Ha ha ha ha ha ha...Ahh" Dark Web laughed. He stopped laughing and looked at him for a moment. Before anyone could react, Dark Web made a web ball on a strong web line like a mace, it had spikes on it. Dark Web then slammed the web mace into the scientist's head, implanting the webbed spike ball into his skull.

The scientist then fell to the ground, limp and lifeless. "Apology...not accepted. But thank you for taking responsibility." Dark Web responded coldly at the corpse. "But boy, at least you still have some brains in you...well not including the ones that's leaking to the ground" Dark Web coldly replied with a slight smile.

He looked around and saw his soldiers and saw what he just did. "If you guys admire my work so much how about you come over here and see it first hand?...No?...Well then get back to work!"

The soldiers instantly looked away from the brutal murder and continued with their work. Dark Web gave a brief look at the corpse and placed him so that his head was hanging off the edge of the platform. He continued to walk down the bottom.

"All the roots hang down, swing from town to town, they are marching around down under your boots" Dark Web then reaches the bottom of the hole. There in front of him was an old rusty gate being guarded by two soldiers. Dark Web moved forward and the soldiers moved away from the gate.

"All the trucks unload beyond the gopher holes..." Dark Web then grabbed the handle. For a moment he looked up and saw the scientist he killed, head hanging from the platform.

He then fired a web onto the head and pulled him down. The body fell, crashing into the ground. He zipped it forward towards him. He opened the gate and he could hear the slivers and howls getting louder.

"There's a world going on underground"

Underground Cells

Dark Web walked past a few cells, he couldn't hear the silvers or sounds anymore because he knew that they were aware he was in the room with them. He went to the nearest cell near him. He then threw the scientist's body into the cell.

"So then...did you guys miss me?" Dark Web joked with an evil grin. Suddenly, a creature leaped up out of the shadows and snarled at him. Others did the same as well, there were a lot of these creatures with different features and deformities, but couldn't be seen due to the shadows "Whoa! You guys are all up and about aren't cha, you lively bastard!" Dark Web said with excitement.

"What the hell do you want you monster!" The creature snarled.

Dark Web looked at him for a moment before saying "Now that's a little harsh. And monster? You don't look like the best man yourself" Dark Web said to him.

"Because of you! If you had left us alone and in peace we would have had normal lives. Instead, we're living down here eating rats and living like the vermin we eat" one of the other creatures retorted.

"Well that sucks, but still not that I don't want to listen to your...eating habits. But I think you guys might not have to be in these cells any longer if...you listen to what I say" Dark Web said to the creatures.

One of them fired an acid spit at his face. "Why would we listen to a murdering, insane, son of a..." The creature tried to say but Dark Web grabbed him by the throat.

"You might want to address me in a less threatening way, otherwise you'll find you'll never speak again" He then let go of him and the creature held his throat in pain.

Dark Web reached for his pocket for a new mask. He replaced his old one with it. Instead, it was black with purples lenses "Now then. I'm letting that go because I'm nice and I like this mask more than the other one. But there's something that you guys can do for me that can earn you a little something called freedom" Dark Web said to the creatures.

"Freedom? This isn't that simple. You want something out of this" The creature snarled at the malevolent killer.

"Well in a way. All I need you guys to do is to bring off a couple of wandering spiders to me" Dark Web answered.

One of the creatures then laughed out loud, as the creature laughed Dark Web chuckled at this.

"Heh heh what are we laughing about?" Dark Web joked.

"You! I can't believe you can't handle a few spiders and so you came to us for help. You must really suck if you come to u..." The creature snarled until Dark Web grabbed him.

"I think it's best if you shut yourself up, unless you want to become a big slop of goop on the ground you step on" Dark Web threatened menacingly. He then threw him on the ground.

He then web shot one of the cell buttons. Releasing a cell full of the creatures. "But, before you can do anything I need to prove you're loyal enough to..." Dark Web didn't have time to finish his sentence as his version of the spider sense went off and one of the creatures went too lunged at him.

"Die! Die! DIE! YOU WILL DIE FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME!" One of the other creatures snarled at him, trying to swat him but Dark Web had his spider sense at hand and could easily outmanoeuvre him.

The creature effortlessly tried to hit a swipe him every chance he got but the lord of the web dodged every blow without the sense of any effort in his movement.

"You know, after hearing you. I don't think you're for the part" Dark Web then grabbed his hand when it went for his face, he crushed its hand and threw him to the ground.

"What are you...?" The creature tried to say but he saw Dark Web in front of him with a web mace. He ran towards him to kill but Dark Web then leaped over the creature threw the web mace at his back with full force.

The web ball then fired though it's back, leaving a giant, gaping hole in the middle of his body. He fell to the ground, lifeless. "Well, that's one less complainer. Now back to the matter at hand, unlike him you guys can have your freedom. All you have to do is to bring me a few travel hopping spiders" Dark Web offered

"As long as you don't kill them I still want to see what I was fighting against and if they're worth the kill"

The creatures were thinking about this offer. This would be their chance at freedom but at the cost of killing others. "And when we do bring you these spiders?" One of the experiments asked.

"You'll have your own world to inhabit and away from me and if you're really good I might turn you back to your...less impressive state" Dark Web offered to the female experiment, who spoke in a different accent.

The creatures thought about this for a moment. After talking about it with each other the creatures gave their answer. "We will help you, for our freedom" the leader creature answered.

Dark Web gave a wide evil grin at this "Now we're getting somewhere" Dark Web then pulled something from his belt, it was a portal generator. He fired it and a black and purple portal appeared.

Dark Web then web shot one of the panels, opening the cell doors. "This is where the spiders were last. You just need to follow the trail. Good luck!" Dark Web said in a happy way as the head experiment grabbed the device and ran towards the portal, the others following him. Dark Web just looked as they ran towards it. They all left and the portal then closed.

"Well then, let the hunt begin...oh god that was cliché" Dark Web said to himself. "Still, it should give those spiders a run for their money" Dark Web grinned as he walked back to his throne room to run his empire.


Thanks for reading this chapter of Rise and Fall.

I wrote this chapter a while ago, during when I was still writing the first Dimension Wars story. I was just excited to do a chapter based on my villain.

You may or may not have noticed but I have moved both Dimension Wars stories into the crossover category with the Spider-Man Comics. I'd figured that it would make sense considering I'm borrowing elements from the comics, plus I'm hoping it gains a bit more attention. And to those now reading this, Hi, welcome to my story. Hope you enjoy it.

Well, Dark Web has gathered a new force to take down the Spiders. Will they be able to survive their slaughter? Well find out soon enough.

Next chapter will return back to the Avengers and Warriors, where a certain tiger is stating to miss the web head. Thanks and see you around!
