Rise sort of expected what happened right after introducing herself to Peter Parker .
The brown haired man smothered both her and MJ in an affectionate hug that made the girl feel an overwhelming warmth 'and just as much with my adoptive parents this doesn't feel awkward at all , I'm just glad ' she thought to herself .
The sudden humming of her spider sense made her open her eyes .
" Move !!"
She pushed her parents to the side as some large multicolored needles embedded themselves on the ground where they were standing.
All three spider-themed people turned towards the attack's origin point .
The sight before them was quite unusual.
Flapping in the air in front of them was a large multicolored hybrid between a bird and a seahorse , seemingly made of a mixture of coral and stained glass , sharp needles dotting the shape of it's wing .
Spider-man quickly reacted trying to coocon the creature with his web-shooters, it was seemingly unaffected by gravity since it didn't change height with it's movement impaired .
It was also a lot stronger than peter gave it credit to be, seeing it's lithe frame , as it quickly shedded the webs and attacked the offending spider-man.
Peter, unaided by his spider -sense this time , clumsily dodged the hail of needles and ended up sitting on the ground when he jerked awkardly trying to dodge the last one.
But before he could get back up , MJ poised herself between him and the monster and ...
" MJ what ...? WAIT-"
Peter's panicked reaction had been caused by seeing the woman unsheate from her hip holster what looked like a silver gun and then pointing it to her head before pulling the trigger .
His eyes widened as he watched MJ still standing, as a sound of shattering glass filled the air and ethereal shards came out of nowhere circling the redhead like a whirlwind ... before forming a weird large robot spider woman with a curtain of scarlet hair that launched a giant fireball , incinerating the monster bird .
Peter 's eyes crossed in disbelief as the see through apparition gave a stage bow and disappeared back into his wife , who turned back to him with a sigh of relief .
A sheepish smile came upon her face barely reaching her cheeks , seeing her husband's expression.
" So , Honey " she said " have you ever heard of Jung ? "
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Mephisto lord of hell , looked impassibly upon his deeds , the now chaotic, overrun with demons, city of new york ... and smirked.
His plans had been proceeding without an hitch .
No Hero standing in his way , no desperate defense put up , the one eyed spy was only containing his newly found hordes , aside of missing out on a few snacks because of the renegade god , he was ever closer to his objective .
' speaking of '
He turned on the unmoving reflection standing with a blank expression in the middle of the large incantation circle he had set up .
The gathered energy from the constant summoning was being easily funneled and the Totem would soon open it's access to the web of life granting the demon lord access to infinite worlds... and tbeir darkness .
Travelling throug the multiverse was a simple feat for mephisto mind you , but being able to tap into its energy and the multiple worlds were impossible even for him, to drag a world into his realm required more .
And he had found it.
a full architecture, a network if you will , with a physical access .
And the web of life would allow him to reach it .
The god-made web being the architecture and inspiration of the mysterious network .
Mutually sustained and interconnected , it was perfect.
Raiding and endless amount of realities , many of them already overrun with demonic forces and prime for the taking , dragging an endless amount of souls into his realm and use them as nourishment .
All of this would grant him enough power to finally ... finally challenge the rulers of hell .
And his chance to gain his ultimate revenge, gain his rightful place back as the lord of it all.
He owed all of it to the petty , self involved, foolish blabbering of some mortals and the weakness of a totem , turning his back on all that he believed ( with some help on his part , of course ) , ignorant of his true responsibilities .
Sometimes his job was truly easy.
The demon lords musings were interrupted by a consistent metallic clanging .
Turning , he saw a clunky automaton of metal, with beeping lights on his chest and head approaching him on the abbandoned roof ,the Living Brain , a relic of a fallen mad man housing what little was left of doctor otto octavious .
His first accomplice in the final phases of his plan had cheated death through sheer craftiness but he now craved the flesh once again , something he could grant him .
" Lord mephisto" an electronically reproduced voice rang out .
Enough to swallow some of his pride and arrogance .
" Yes ? " the demon lord's deep voice answered
" Osborn failed as you expected , Parker is free and coming here , he is accompanied by two other spider-bimbos . i believe one of them is that watson wench , but I don't recognize the other. My octobots are keeping track of them as they make their way through the city ."
Mephisto simply shook his head and got closer to the bot.
" ah , Norman, so vicious and yet so predictable ."
He raised a clawed hand .
" I suppose our guest are gonna be needing a welcoming comittee and you, my friend, have plenty held up your end of the bargain "
He tapped the robot on the head and as soon as he did , a human body fell behind it .
A naked robust figure with a bowl head hair cut was laying on the floor, slowly adjusting to being alive again.
" i' m sure you'll enjoy the little upgrade I added free of charge ."
As octavious recovered a small tribal like tatto could be seen on his back, right above his tail bone .
It looked like a monstrous skull with a gaping maw and 4 writhing tentacles behind it , still quite dissimilar from hydra's symbol.
" Certainly , Lord Mephisto" otto said among his gasps of air, a manic grin finding its way on his face .
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"So let's see if I got all of this straight " spider-man said looking at the two girls swinging alongside him .
Getting back to parker industries, while avoiding most of the demons thanks to some spider sense coaching for Rise , had been taking them some time and allowed MJ and the girl to tell him their side of the story .
" you got sent to japan by tony for work, ended up in a weird hidden world inside the tvs of a rural japanese town , where you faced a philosophycal/psycological construct that represented your repressed feelings and desires , who happened to remember everything about the deal , got saved by a bunch of teenagers, among which happened to be our time displaced daughter whose spider powers were awakening, when you rejected it and it turned into a big monster , accepted the shadow once it got beaten , and in doing so gaining a big robot with super strenght and magic that you can summon at will, much like the kids that saved you . And once you did , remembered everything about the deal , got attacked , found out who Rise was when she saved you , rushed back here with tony's help and reached me on the bridge. Did I forget anything ? "
Mj answered cheekily , while hanging from two web strings mid swing " you forgot about the demon-posessed Venom, me and our little girl took out "
" that wasn't fun " rise added wearily while somersaulting through the air
" oh right , the thing that gave me a retroactive heart attack , how could I forget ? " peter answered in a dead pan tone.
They all continued in silence for a while until...
" Hey , Red ? "
" yes , hubbie "
" around what time did you give up on having an actual normal life ?"
" ummh , I'm not sure actually , maybe it was between you shedding into a giant spider and giving birth to yourself and me gaining spider powers for a couple days ."
" WHAT ?!?!?!" a surprised young voice exclaimed
" story for another time , sweetie " mj reassured the other redhead
" geeze , i really hope I never go through whatever that was , seeing my monster self giving a lap dance to my crush was bad enough ." Rise commented dejectedly
" WHAT ?!?!?!?" two surprised older voices exclaimed
Their bantering was interrupted by the sight of the parker industries building .
It seemed fine enough compared to the destruction around it .
It probably had to do with the giant dome of energy surrounding the top.
" we are not getting through that " mj said peering intently into the barrier, while sticking with the others on a building overlooking their destination .
She could see a figure in black standing in the middle of an evil glowing circle .
" that's him, uh ? " peter asked
" yep, that's you , your shadow " the older redhead answered .
" remember , you need to understand it or it' s going to go berserk and possibly kill you and then us " rise said in a surprisingly cheery tone
" remind me again why my wife and child are here in the middle of a literal hellscape right before my therapy session of death "
" because Honey : first of all, you can't call upon a crazy strong guardian spirit , and second I refuse to not even try to kick mephisto's ass now that i can use the same thing our kid used to wreck a goddess "
Spider-man eyes stared at the younger spider-girl in hidden shock .
"... seriously ?"
" hello mr.parker !"
The family talk was interrupted by a clear loud voice among the chaos coming from down below .
The spider-family turned as one seeing , something that two of them didn't understand .
Standing a ways away from the entrance was dr. Otto octavious in his original body sans his mechanical tentacles , his signature glasses and a cocky smirk on his face .
"Hello , moe " spider-man said, landing in front of the seemingly empty entrance , soon followed by his family." Is that a new haircut ? Did you really wanna get back in this ..." he said gesturing to his body " ...that hard ? Sorry but as it turns out i'm married who would have thought uh"
Iron Spider's lenses narrowed as she said " I owe you a beating otto , i don't know how you are back but i'm not counting my blessings at the moment "
"Ah , miss watson " otto answered calmly " and ..." turning
To the smaller of the spider-people .
" ehm... " ' all right risette , game face on' " ... i' m your awesome , unbeatable spider-girl " the teenage girl exlcaimed in her best magical girl impression , to which an awkward silence followed ... well as silent as it could be during a demon invasion .
" ehh , sweetie that 's not really how we do it here "
Otto didn't react for a second , before breaking in a wholehearted laugh ," fitting , another clown ! "
" Ok , otto lemme guess then, he gave you your body back , but then what's the point ? We are gonna get up there and you arent going to stop us " spider-man said as the three of them got ready to fight .
" please, parker " otto answered condenscendingly " I may have given you your body back in a moment of weakness but i am still your SUPERIOR , my genius has stil beaten you once and it will do so again .
" uh , you wouldn't have lasted a week if I hadn't been freaking brainwashed , bowl cut, i'm still baffled that you sacked May somehow " iron spider exclaimed defiantly
" what's your big genius plan " spider-man continued " anyway ? You are gonna be hell's first hair stylist or something ? "
" oh no , my association with the demon lord ends with your defeat spider-man , thanks to his gift though, nothing can challenge my power anymore , i will bring my genius to the stars no meddling morality nor ethics gettin in the way allowing me to build a lasting legacy of genius that will leave a mark on this universe forever ..."
" ... you know i kinda missed this , otto . Your rantings have always reminded me of how much better doom is , he is still a tyrannical egomaniac but his monologues always had more pizzaz"
Octavious simply huffed " enough of this , i grow hungry ..."
As he said this , a transfiguration started coming over the mad genius , startling the three heroes .
The entirety of his figure turning black and green cracks of energy coming out of a point on his back , the human shape growing in size as four large tendrils coiled around him seemingly out of nowhere .
Otto' s human shape was no longer in his place was a insect like monstrosity coloured green and black , with a mouthless black eyed chitinous visage and sharp claws for hands and feet .
Not even mentioning the four large and bony looking tentacles raising towards the spiders , each of which had sharp teeth and a gaping bottomless black pit of a maw .
" ... and I have three arachnid snacks ready for picking " four identical , scratchy and hollow voices rang out in unison .
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
AN:hey everybody , sorry if the chapter took this long , i took a bit of a hiatus from the fic for mainly one reason . Anger is no longer fueling me , back when i started we were right off a really stupid moment between peter and MJ , with the new run the stupidity has been generally fixed, so i may not continue this at the same pace but i will still finish it , so I hope you will stick with me for another 3-4 chapters.RRSee ya
