Chapter 10: The Black Widow

The following day, Bianca was at P.O.I.N.T headquarters with Foxtail, Doctor Greyman, and Laserblast. Foxtail and Greyman were off somewhere getting any information on The Black Widow. Bianca turned to Laserblast. "Hey Laser, can I ask you something?" She asked him shyly. Laserblast turned to her. "Sure Bi, what's on your mind?" He asked her. "About yesterday, do you think Ladia is pretty?" she asked meekly. "Of course not!" Laserblast said as he tuned back to the reports infront of him. Suddenly, Foxtail and Doctor Greyman entered the room. They looked serious. They both explained how they got a report that came in about The Black Widow how being spotted in a far away city. "Bianca, we think you should go. We need to stay here in case The Black Widow shows up here. You did say how yesterday how Ladia had her eyes on Laserblast" Doctor Greyman said. Bianca nodded. "I'll go home and pack. When I'm done, I'll come back to say goodbye" she said. Doctor Greyman then handed her the file with all the details in it. She then went to the garage area and found her 'Icecycle' She then put her helmet on and started her bike. She looked at Laserblast who had just entered the room. He looked at her worriedly. She shook her head at him, as if she was saying 'Don't worry' to him. She then drove off.

She arrived at her home and started packing everything she needed. "Cain, I have to leave for a while. Keep an eye on the area for me please." she said after she packed what she needed. "Of course Madam" C.A.I.N said. She then locked her doors and windows. When that was done she started her bike once she was on it and had put on her helmet. She looked back at her house one last time before she drove off towards P.O.I.N.T headquarters.

She then arrived at P.O.I.N.T headquarters moments later. Foxtail, Doctor Greyman, and Laserblast were waiting for her in the main area when she walked into the room. She was currently at saying 'goodbye' to them. "Be careful Bi, I. I mean we don't want to lose you" Laserblast said. "Keep your eyes open. If you need help don't be afraid to contact us" Foxtail said. "Be sure to send us updates" Greyman said. They all shared a hug. "I will don't worry. Just please keep an eye on the Caballos' for me" She said when they all pulled out of the hug. Laserblast kept an arm around her. "I'll be fine" she said to Laserblast. She then gave him one last hug and kissed his cheek. She then got on her bike and started it. "I'm gonna miss you guys" she said. She then put her helmet on and waved before she sped off.

Weeks passed and there was no longer any signs of Bianca. Laserblast was pacing around. "Laserblast, please calm down. I'm sure she's fine" Doctor Greyman said reassuringly. "Bianca can handle herself. Besides, I'm sure if she needed help she would have called" Foxtail said. "But what if she isn't okay?! What if she needs help and is not able to contact us?!" Laserblast yelled, clearly worried about his girlfriend. Foxtail and Doctor Greyman looked at each other clearly worried. "Then maybe we should go see if she needs help" Foxtail suggested. Laserblast looked at her. "We should be able to trace her 'Icecycle' to find out where she is" Doctor Greyman said. Laserblast then hurriedly went to the master computer and tracked down Bianca's 'Icecycle'. He found her coordinates and quickly wrote it down. He then ran as fast as he could with Foxtail running behind him. Doctor Greyman levitated himself behind them. Laserblast got into the orange vehicle and got into the driver's seat. Foxtail got into the passenger's seat and Greyman levitated himself into the back seat. Laserblast then buckled his seat belt and sped off. After a while of driving, he came upon Bianca's coordinates. They all searched the area before Foxtail shouted to get her friend's attention. They came upon a cliff on a beach. There were empty cocoons all over the beach. Up on the cliff, they saw Bianca chained to a rock. The sea below was raging. The waves crashing against the rocks violently. The three heroes ran up to her.

"Bianca!" They all yelled. She slowly opened her eyes. "Laserblast? Foxtail? Greyman? What are you guys doing here? It's not safe! Leave now before she comes back" Bianca warned them. "No way! We are NOT leaving you here!" Laserblast said. "Please! Go now!" she pleaded. A hissing sound was heard and it kept getting louder. "Hurry!" she said. The three then reluctantly left her side and went to find somewhere to hide.

A figure then came up the cliff and up to the rock. Bianca flinched in fright. The heroes saw it was Ladia. She smirked at Bianca. The figure revealed itself. The heroes saw that it was Ladia. She then took out a long and sharp staff. She then swiped it across Bianca. "Oh come now, with Laser's looks, I'm sure I'm not the first person to take him away from you. I'm sure I won't be the last either. Besides, he won't think your so pretty now!" She said. "Just look at you. So pathetic and ugly" she said as she continued to insult band attack Bianca. "With you out of the way, I can have Laserblast all to myself! And after our honeymoon, I'll take away his life and his powers! Or who knows, I might keep him around and make my spawns" She said excitedly. Bianca then struggled against her bonds. "Why are you doing this?" Bianca asked. "Why else do you think? I want everything! I capture men both married and single, then marry them for money, power, or whatever I desire! When I'm done, I then suck their souls to look keep my youth. Basicslly, if they have powers, I gets their powers, if they speak more than one language, then I get that ability. Any talents they have I get once I eat them."

"I knew it was you Ladia! But why would you do all of this?!" A voice said angrily. Ladia looked towards the voice. Ernest came out from behind a large rock. "Ernie, I'm surprised at you. I thought that you were too stupid to catch onto me. As for why" she started. She then sighed. "Let me put this in a way you will understand you idiot" she said. She then turned towards the raging sea.

"I'm not a damsel in distress
I'm not your wifey nor your precious princess
I will ensnare you in my massive web of lies
Why? Cause I'm a bad guy"

She then snapped her fingers and a massive swarm of souls appeared.

"All these former lovers that you see
Each of them happily gave in to me
So I'm not your true love like you wanted me to be
What am I boys? (Souls of guys:she's a bad guy)
Oh it's magic. To see a person
Shrivel up and die
Oh it's thrillin
To be a villain
I wreck all their homes
And then I watch them cry"

She then began to glow

"Cause I'm a bad guy

When she stopped glowing, she grew a spider's body in place of her legs. Bianca saw that her top of her shirt was shaped like two devil's horns facing each other. Her top was red and had no sleeves. Her body was gray and she had a red mark in the shape of an hourglass. She also had two fangs.

"Oh ain't it fantastic
I see a party,

I CRASH IT!

AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY...

See, I've always had a weakness

For lifelesness and bleakness.

I CRUSH ALL YOUR HOMES AND THEN I WATCH YOU CRY...

See, I find this business rather FUN...

I don't want your attention or your adulation.

I'LL VAPORIZE YOUR FAMILY AND BID YA bye-bye!

Why? C'MON, GUESS!" she thundered

"Cause you're the bad guy?" Ernest and Bianca asked meekfully

"Or, well, girl" Ladia said as she laughed evilly.

Laserblast. Foxtail and Greyman then decided that it was time for action. Ladia felt herself being lifted off the ground. She saw that she was being levitated. Foxtail then leaped into the air and curled her hand into a fist. She aimed her fist for Ladia. Her fist hit Ladia's abdomen and upon impact, Ladia was sent tumbling to the ground. Laserblast then ran over to Bianca. Once he reached her, he used his lasers to blast the chains. Once she was free, Laserblast enveloped Bianca in a large hug. "Let's get you out of here" he said. He then pulled out of the hug and picked her up bridal style. Once Laserblast got Bianca somewhere safe, he put her down.

Laserblast then joined Foxtail and Doctor Greyman. Laserblast got out a long piece of rope from the P.O.I.N.T. vehicle. He and his friends then tied Ladia's legs together. Doctor Greyman then used part of the rope to tie Ladia's hands together behind her back. Soon, Ladia was tied up on the ground. Ernest then came out with a device. He turned on the device and all the souls that Ladia consumed were removed from her body and were then released into the cocoons where the lifeless bodies of her victims were. Once all the souls were in their bodies, all the man got up and looked around confused. The heroes looked to where Ladia was. They saw that she had shrunk to a normal sized spider. Greyman then used his powers and levitated her into the air. "Could get your autographs?" Ernest asked as he took out his autograph book. Foxtail and Greyman smiled and signed the book. "I'm gonna go take her to find a place to put her in for now" he said as he walked off while levitating Ladia. "Great job Ernest. Yoususpected that Ladia was up to no good and you stalled her" Laserblast said. "Thanks. but it was you guys that did the rest of the work. I must get going now, I'm going to make sure everyone is okay"Ernest said as he walked off.

Laserblast then went over to where he put Bianca. Laserblast noticed her and he smiled lovingly at her. He noticed that she had tears in her eyes. Laserblast then ran over to her. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked her worriedly. She looked up at him. He saw that she had scratches and bruises all over her face and body. She turned away from him. "Don't look at me! I must look ugly " she cried. "What are you talking about?" He asked softly as he sat next to her. "Look at me! I look hideous! Do you still think I'm beautiful like this?!" She asked angrily. She then started sobbing. "Of course I do. What made you think that I still don't? Bi, you are always so beautiful, no matter what! Not only that, your also smart, kind, caring, generous, brave, and just amazing in every way" He said as he hugged her from behind. "I love you Bianca and that I would never leave you no matter what" he said. She turned around in his grasp and buried herself in his loving embrace. He stroked her head as she cried in his embrace. He then pulled away a bit and kissed her softly and lovingly.

A figure hid behind a rock, unnoticed by anyone. The figure sighed as he stood in the shadow of the large rock. It gazed upon a woman with long purple hair and blue skin with a man who approached her and then kiss her. This infuriated the figure. It dug his long and sharp nails into the rock it was hiding behind. "She must be mine! No, she needs to be mine. I will make her my wife even if it kills her!" it thought evilly. It then put a hand to it's chin. A smirk then curled upon it's lips as it thought of a plan.
