Chapter 4: Battle for the Village
It was a few hours later in the day; Peter and MJ were sitting in their bedroom, while Cindy and Gwen were in the temple "What can we do?" MJ asked as she held Peter
"We find our daughter. We fix this and we go home." Peter answered
"But how?" She frowned
"One step at a time." Peter reassured her.
"We've been searching since she disappeared Peter." MJ whispered sadly
"Then... Maybe it's time we try and ask for HELP." Peter smiled
"Who can we turn to?" Mary-Jane asked.
"It is time... For diplomatic relations." He nodded
"You mean we have to marry off Andrea?" Mary-Jane's eyes widened
"No!" Peter groaned "I mean going to the other VILLAGES MJ!"
"Right-right...sorry. I just...I want her home. I'm not thinking straight." Mary-Jane answered
"I know MJ, I know." Peter sighed and hugged her which was when the door opened, Aunt May running in
"Peter, Mary-Jane!" May gasped, running to the duo
"Aunt May!" Peter gasped as he saw his Aunt giving them both a big and self-reassured hug "Whats wrong?"
"We have a problem!" May said "Some woman in a green armour is attacking the village! Peter, I know you are retired but... We need Spider-Man! This woman is tearing through our defences!"
Peter frowned and then looked up to his aunt. "I'm on my way, Aunt May." He reached under his bed and pulled out a black wooden box with a red spider on it...
*With Gwen and Cindy*
"I'm glad you're awake again." Gwen spoke
"Gwen, you said that like fifty times." Cindy answered
"I know. I mean it." Gwen nodded, unable to stop herself from kissing her
"Hmm?" Cindy blinked before accepting the kiss, feeling Gwen's soft lips on hers...and how she felt that warmth from her memories. How the kiss made her heart flutter
Gwen slowly broke the kiss, pulling back slowly and had a blush on her cheeks. "... Sorry." She mumbled
"It...It's fine." Cindy answered, covering her lips in embarrassment but she remembered their past kisses "It...It was nice."
"Yeah." Gwen nodded
'So...we're together in this world.' Cindy thought to herself 'Wow.'
"Cindy-" Gwen began to speak before they heard a commotion coming from outside. It grabbed their attention and they headed for the doors
"What?" They gasped. As they approached outside, they felt a tingling in the back of their heads. Their Spider-Senses were blaring! "DUCK!" The two spoke, as a large chunk of earth was flung through the doors by crashing through it.. They looked up, seeing a black haired woman clad in green bamboo armour stand there... And A GIANT GLOWING GREEN SCORPION TAIL FLOUTING ABOVE HER! "What the hell?" The two gasped
The woman was laughing, waving her 'tail' and striking with it
"Dodge!" Cindy called out, the two Spider-Girls jumped out of the way from the scorpion tail. Gwen was holding her paint brush, seeing the solders of the city surrounding the woman
"Stand down!" The soldiers called out, trying to stop Scorpion
"Oh ho! Spiders to fight a Scorpion!" She laughed
"You're going down!" A soldier called out, lunging forwards with his sword
STING!
"Hck!" The soldier grunted, his stomach penetrated by the stinger
"BOB!" one soldier yelled
"Not Bob!" Another soldier added, going in to retaliate for vengeance
"FOR BOB!" a third roared
Scorpion was getting overpowered by these people before she threw them off her, using her tail like a catapult... And then she smirked, green glowing 'veins' appearing on her neck as her eyes glowed green "Time to play seriously, my little morsels."
"Wh-What?" The soldiers looked in fear. She span her body around, her 'tail' following and throwing them all away "ARGH!" The soldiers were flung away
"We've got to help!" Gwen spoke
"Right!" Cindy nodded. The two of them got up and began to get the soldiers out of there, they were going to help.
"Stay out of this!" Scorpion snapped, lunging her tail at Cindy but it was webbed up behind it "I'm gonna take all you Spiders and rip you to shreds!"
"Like to see you try." A familiar voice spoke, straining the web back, holding back the tail...revealing Spider-Man!
Only he was not the Spider-Man you readers where familiar with. His costume was blue to the main clothing but armoured in red plates and a red mask, like his normal mask, his feet were red strapped sandals, his gloves were armoured with the same red plates but with white fingers and finally there was a web scarf
"No...You...You're RETIRED!" Scorpion hissed "This city was unguarded!"
"Well you messed up my pretty city, pretty lady. Duster this old suit off for one last run, can't leave a lovely kunoichi like you to dance alone." He quipped "So, how about you tell old Spidey your name?"
"I'll spell it with your BLOOD!" Scorpion snapped, trying to swing him around
"Sorry, I need that stuff!" He laughed, easily dodging the tail. But even as he moved he was analysing the situation. He noted how she was mainly using her tail, seeing that she was using it as an extension of herself. It was a mystical construct. No real mass. But it moved as naturally as if it was part of her body 'Okay, that's that. Now, to try and get her unbalanced.' Peter thought 'I do not see any form of medium for her magic however.'
"Die, Spider!" Scorpion proclaimed, lunging forward
"Spider-Man!" Cindy and Gwen called out
"Hey." He waved, ducking back into a straight right angle
"Huh?!" Scorpion gasped as she was knocked away by Spider-Man's open hands.
"Speak to the hand!" He laughed, standing tall now that he was in close range
"AAAHHH!" Scorpion yelled as she was flung away "... You are stronger than I heard." She panted
"You aren't seen anything yet." Spidey smirked, pressing a button on his wrist and webbing began to shoot from a secret device. The device's webbing rushed out, forming into a shape
"What the-? The-The Shuriken!" Scorpion gasped, seeing the shape.
In Peter's hand, was a large four pointed shuriken star made of webbing. It wasn't a neat star as two points where massive whole another two where shorter with a handle on the middle and a circular guard around his hand, it was basically a fancy two sided sword "I might be a little rusty." Peter smirked "Let's see how good you are."
"Let's." Scorpion glared and rushed forward, trying to kill Spider-Man
Gwen and Cindy looked on as they finished getting the soldiers safely away "What do we do?" Gwen mumbled
"Ha!" Spidey slashed with his bladed web weapon, spinning it between slashes
"We could help. But...I think we'd just be in the way." Cindy answered
"We're heroes to!" She frowned
"Can you use that effectively?" Cindy asked, pointing at Gwen's brush
"Duh!" Gwen answered "I've trained since I was a kid!"
"Then let's get in there!" Cindy answered, getting up
"One and a two, one and a two." Peter laughed, using his sword to push away her tail easily. Scorpion tried to attack several times, but each time it was deflected. The tail and sword collided, striking hard. Peter kept on deflecting the attacks, trying to keep his web shuriken in a single piece "So, how you doing this?" He asked
"What?" Scorpion snapped
"How're you using your tail?" Peter answered, using his knowledge of this world rather effectively "I don't see a mystical medium. It moves WITH your body and not like a spiritual manifestation you control with your will. It's like it is PART of you. So, what gives?"
"I AM the magical medium!" She roared, stabbing with her tail "The tail is part of me!"
"Whoa!" Spidey gasped, using his web sword/star to block it... And it was being ripped "Wait... What?! But that's... That's impossible! For that to be the case the medium would have to be..."
"Inside me, surgically combined with my body?" She smirked, her tail thrusting up and shredding the Web Star to pieces "It's fused with my spine!"
"Well, good to know." Cindy said, blocking the stab of her tail with her umbrella
"Saves us time later!" Gwen called, slashing her brush. A glowing web made of bright blue light rushing through the air and wrapping around Scorpion
"You... Think this... can... Hold me?!" Scorpion roared
"I dunno, but it'll keep you preoccupied." Gwen answered
"Preoccupied?" She blinked
Peter smiled as he began to wrap Scorpion up using his webbing, and hit the enemy ninja in the back of her head with his web-shuriken. She fell to the floor, unconscious and wrapped up "Phew...Thanks girls." Spider-Man nodded in appreciation
"I... Wow, it's Spider-Man!" Gwen called as the citizens ran out. The citizens began to flock around, seeing Spider-Man, the village's guardian after so long and they began to cheer
Peter felt a great wave of relief wash over him...this familiar and unfamiliar sound was music to his ears. It gave him reason to keep doing this. The cheering... The clapping... It made him smile "Don't worry everyone. I'll take care of her." Spider-Man reassured them all "I'll take her to Lord Parker; he will know what to do with her." He nodded, feeling awkward for saying it like that. The crowd understood, still cheering for Spider-Man, still cheering for their hero even as he swung away 'That...that felt good.' Peter smiled under his mask 'Final being praised.'
'Got a spring in his step.' Cindy and Gwen thought. They smiled happily at that
*Time Skip*
Peter arrived in the cells under his mansion... A bit annoyed he had such a place 'I guess the other me...or...current me, had to have these installed for a reason.' He thought 'Or maybe this has always been there. I don't have time to think.'
"Hnn..." Scorpion groaned as she found herself in these cells. Her wrists where chained to the wall, sitting on a bed
"Where...am I?" Scorpion asked, trying to move
"Spider Village jail." He said simply, standing in front of her
"Grr...Spider-Man...I was told you were gone." Scorpion snarled
"Yeah. You caught my attention." He shrugged
"Sure it's WISE keeping me here? I can still-" Scorpion spoke, trying to activate her tail...but couldn't "What?!"
"Your chains." He said, pointing at the shackles around her wrist which had glowing red ruins "Cancels your magic. You're going to tell me what you know." Spider-Man ordered and explained
She glared and spat at him "Fuck you."
Peter frowned and wiped the spit away...he didn't let that get to him, although it WAS extremely rude but he controlled himself "Alright. If that's the way you're going to play." Spider-Man breathed slowly and began to leave.
"Are you sure?" Weaver asked, waiting outside
"I just need five minutes, grandmother. I won't be gone for hours." Peter answered. She nodded, the two walking out
"Hey...Hey! Where're you going? Some hero YOU ARE!" Scorpion snapped, seeing the two leave. She snarled, pulling against the bonds
Peter closed the door behind him and rested on the wall to the side, he just needed five minutes to calm down...and let his muscles stop burning. Damn the fighting wore him out "How...long have I been...out of practice in this world?" He asked Weaver
"About six and a half months." She reminded
"Yeah...Hmm...I can feel it." He nodded as he rolled his shoulders. "I should get back in there, try and get some info out of Scorpion."
"Just another minute." She nodded
"Oh...Okay? Why?" Peter asked before he heard scared and pathetic whines from inside the cell What's that?!" He yelled lightly
"Scorpion's reaction. She hates being alone." Weaver answered
"Why? What?" He blinked
"Mental torture from Green Goblin." Weaver answered "Isolation, darkness...Where do I end? She'll talk now."
Peter nodded, running inside 'Damn it.' he thought
"Let me out! Let me out!" Scorpion screamed, crying. "I'll talk! I'll talk!"
"Don't worry, I'm here." Peter assured as he ran in. Scorpion had stopped writhing in fear and looked on at Spider-Man. He had quickly pulled her into a hug, holding her. Scorpion breathed heavily and panted, feeling the reassurance from Spider-Man. Feeling someone... Holding her. Holding her and telling her it would all be okay "You going to be okay now?" He asked
She nodded weakly, smiling weakly
"Alright, alright...Now. Let's talk." Peter spoke
"I'll tell you whatever you want! Just... Don't leave me here again!" She nodded quickly, begging
"Shh, shh, shh...It's alright...It's alright." Peter hushed her affectionately "I promise."
*With MJ*
"Alright everyone, let's help with the rubble." She spoke, helping command a repair squad. She was ordering everyone calmly, holding onto her sword
"Yes, your highness." They responded, moving the broken beams and rubble from the streets.
MJ helped a wounded man up, another soldier helping her support them "Thank you, your highness." The wounded man answered
"We'll get you to the hospital." MJ answered
"I have him, my queen." The Latina female soldier in black and white smiled
"Thank you, Anya." MJ nodded, giving the wounded person to the soldier
"Em...My Queen." Gwen spoke as she approached
"Gwen. What's the result, how many are hurt?" MJ asked
"Only about twelve civilians, luckily." She smiled "But about 20 soldiers and low level ninja."
"Good. So none were killed." MJ sighed in relief. "Help the injured in the hospital. I'll continue work here." The soldiers nodded and did as they were told 'I hope Cindy is doing okay.' MJ thought as she continued to help
*With Cindy*
Cindy was doing some paperwork, rubbing her neck 'Dang...So much destruction.' Cindy thought "We will need so many repairs." She poured over the books to look over the costs, seeing how much was needed for the repairs "... We're gonna need to up the trade negotiations with Liberty City and the Land of Iron." "At least THEY are a bit more civil." She murmured to herself. She rubbed her chin gently with a frown "I hope they're willing to trade. Especially now."
The village lead by Captain America and the village by Iron Man. Two villages, with lands that help surround the Spider-Village.
Liberty City to the north East and the Land of Iron to the north west
They held resources the Spider-Village needs... This was gonna be a pain
*With Peter*
"Are you doing better now?" Peter asked
"Yes." Scorpion nodded "Now what do you want to know?"
"Well...What happened to you, for one. What's happening in the Goblin Village." Peter answered
"... What specifically?" She asked
"Well...How did you get your magic infused tail?" Peter responded
"An operation." She nodded
"I'm sorry." Peter answered
"I... Was a civilian... A... An... Upcoming... Kunoichi." She listed off, frowning as she tried to think "I... Was chosen. Taken... I was in an underground ritual room... A... A green monster like a scorpion was fused into a... A THING... And then... Then... Pain..."
"Easy, easy...It's alright. Take your time." Peter answered. He rubbed her back, smiling
"Thank you." She whispered "... After that... They tortured me. Trained me." She whispered
"I'm so sorry." Peter sympathised
"They made me a 'Spider Killer'." she finished "A weapon against this village."
"It'll be alright. You're safe here. We can help you." Peter answered "I promise."
"Your kindness knows no limit." Scorpion answered with amazement
"Nah, it has limits." He assured with a laugh
"But you have shown me kindness." Scorpion answered in slight confusion but also wonder and joy "Thank you." She nodded, kissing him as she moved his helmet up lightly
'Err...!' Peter blushed under his helmet. This was TECHNICALLY cheating, though she was kissing him and not the other way around. He pulled back, coughing
"Was...Was I not doing it right?" Scorpion asked
"No. You where a great kisser." He assured, shaking his hands in worry
"Thank you." Scorpion blushed as she held her hands. He nodded, getting up to leave her cell "W-Will I be on my own again?" Scorpion asked in worry
"Huh?" He blinked
"In...in the cell." Scorpion responded
"Oh! I forgot." He blinked
"It's okay. I AM a prisoner." Scorpion answered
"No, it's not fair." He frowned
"Then...what're you gonna do?" Scorpion asked
"... I don't know." He groaned
Not long, a soldier came down to the cells. "Spider-Man, your presence is requested by the Village Elders."
"Okay. You stay with Scorpion." He nodded, glad this situation fell into his lap
"Yes, sir." The soldier answered
Spidey nodded and ran off 'Talk about a deus ex.' He thought as he went upstairs. He quickly entered the meeting room where Aunt May and Weaver where waiting "Hey." Peter spoke, removing his mask as they were now alone.
"How is she?" Weaver asked
"...Frightened. Scared...But she's safe here." Peter answered "...And she kissed me."
"... Oh Peter." May sighed "Should I prepare the documents?"
"For her to be a 'visitor'? Yes, yes please." Peter answered
"Wrong documents Peter." She smiled
"Huh?" Peter quickly tilted his head
"Be fair with him May, he hasn't heard about this since he was 12." Weaver laughed lightly
"Um...Give me a hint, please?" Peter asked
"Peter. Besides your aunt, Andrea and myself you are the last of the Parker Clan." Weaver explained "You are allowed to marry up to ten women to continue the clan, to help it repopulate. But it is your choice."
"I wha...?" Peter thought, his brain breaking at the sounds of 'marriage' and 'ten women'
CRASH!
Face, meet table. Mind, meet unconscious
"...That went well." Weaver chuckled lightly
"Yeah." Aunt May smiled and shook her head in amusement
