Chapter 1

"Argh!" A burglar was smashed against the wall as another one rushed up to the attacker, but black tentacles whipped him away.

"Now now, nobody ever said tag-teaming was allowed" the attacker was Spider-Man, and he was having a pretty good day all things considered, he aced a test today, took Gwen out on a successful date, it was the weekend, and he was beating up some thugs, he grabbed another man by the shoulders.

"Who wants to play catch?" Spider-Man tosses the man at the other burglars as they were sent flying back, he then noticed a big man behind him with a large crowbar, luckily his Spider-Sense helped him dodge the blow as he ducked and kicked the man in the shin, he then used his symbiote to grab him and slam him into the wall.

"Now stay down, fella, I'm not asking" Spider-Man then turned his attention to the others, who had managed to get up after the whole "catch" incident, Spider-Man leaped out of the way as they all tried to hit him.

"Hey, this doesn't seem very fair, 4 against 1, let's even the odds" he webbed up one of them and punched him in the face as he kicked another in the knee, causing him to stumble, while holding on the webbed burglar, he kicked another one in the stomach, he used his free hand to whack the final man in the back of the head, as he fell, he head-butted the webbed man away as he fell to the ground, he wiped his hands.

"Nice work, Fred" Spider-Man said to the Symbiote.

"For the last time, my name isn't Fred!" The Symbiote retorted, then Spider-Man's Spidey-sense started blaring, he looked behind him, and he saw a portal opening, and a man in some sort of coat walked through.

"What are you? A magician?" Spider-Man asked as he grinned.

"At last, I've feasted in countless people before you, and now, I can enjoy a nice, easy meal" the man showed his teeth, and Spider-Man backed away.

"Hey, are those vampire teeth? Please tell me your playing some sort of prank, it's just a prank, right?" Spider-Man asked as the man rushed at him, but his Symbiote grabbed him and they tossed him around the alley way, as he was thrown the opposite way, the man levitated and started flying towards him.

"New strategy: run" he leaped up onto the roof and made a break for, leaping over other obstacles and such, websling from building to building, all the while, his Symbiote was trying to keep the man a fair distance from him, as he landed on the roof of a building, he webbed the man in the face, but he ripped it off with ease.

"Well, that's just lovely" Spider-Man sighed as the man rammed into him, dragging across the roof, he manuevered the man's head into the concrete as he tried to bite his neck, thankfully, Spider-Man kicked him off and elbowed him in the back.

"You made a mistake, buster, just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm defenseless" Spider-Man told him as he leaped upright and sucker punched the man, causing him to fall off the roof, Spider-Man looked over, only to be startled back as the man flew up and grabbed him, he threw him onto another roof and landed, prepared to strike, when he sent through a yellow portal, he was confused, but eventually screaming in outrage as he was sucked through and the portal closed.

"Up you get" another man holding a yellow orb helped him up.

"Thanks, I'd be one big Spider breakfast if you hadn't showed up, who are you? What is that?" Spider-Man asked as he pointed at the orb.

"This is the Reality Nexus, an orb that has the ability to travel through different dimensions, your Elijah Winn, the Spider-Man of Earth #1813, and I'm Peter Parker, The Spider-Man of Earth #232, that man was an inheritor, they are vampires that feast on the blood of superheroes with animal based powers, all of the different Spider-Man of the multiverse have come together to fight the Inheritors, and your a new candidate, considering you got your powers recently and all that" Peter explained as Elijah's mask flowed off.

"Wait, So your saying that there's more than one Spider-Man?" Elijah asked with intrigue as Peter nodded, he then used the Reality Nexus to open another portal.

"Go on, let's meet the others" and he stepped through, Elijah was a little skeptical about all this, a multiverse, he knew other universes existed, considering his unpredictable time in the Skylands, but he didn't know there was a Spider-Verse of sorts, but he stepped through anyways and the portal closed behind him, as he stepped through, what he saw baffled him, there were countless versions of Spider-Man all standing around talking to one another, there was a Knight, a pirate, he was surrounded by people just like him, he followed the Peter who guided him through the portal, and he took him to the center, and there he was, Elijah recognized him, his costume resembling the Spider-Man who died in his world.

"This, is the main Spider-Man, Peter Parker of Earth #616, be careful around him" #232 Peter whispered to him.

"Why?" Elijah asked, and all he got as a response was, "he's not very comfortable around Symbiotes" and he walked off.

Elijah was left to his own devices as he stepped up to introduce himself.

"Hi, I'm Elijah Winn, The Spider-Man of Earth #1813, I think" Elijah murmured the last part.

"Welcome to the team, it's good to have you" #616 Peter replied as he walked off, but Elijah followed.

"Excuse me, Peter, but can you explain what's going on? If there are so many of us, why can't we just fight the inheritors?" Elijah's question made him stop.

"Unfortunately, it's not that simple..." and he began to explain everything that had happened before.

"We've been forced to hide, because the Inheritors are limitless, the only way to truly kill them, is to kill the leader, Morlun, but we don't where he might be" #616 Peter explained, "plus, with how quickly the Inheritors are killing us Spider-Men, we need to find a new plan to bring them down" he finished as Elijah processed all this.

"This sounds a whole lot bigger" Elijah replied as #616 Peter agreed.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet the others" and they walked off.
