For a mother, possibly one of the worst things in life would seeing her beloved daughter turns into a monster before her very eyes. For Anastasia Hardy, that was the case;
''-Now, lets see what was Manhattan's Monsters and Superheroes story for today'' Anastasia laughed as she sat on her sofa and opened a News Channel. Although it was hard to prevent herself to act for finding her daughter, she had respect for Felicia's right to be alone for a while. Very hard time for her indeed.
Suddenly a new appeared on the screen:
''We are now switching for a live broadcast to a unique case of robbery. A six armed female with a cat costume is involving!''
-''Cat costume?'' Anastasia gasped
There she was, she could recognize her in any costume or form.
-''Felicia!'' she shouted-
''What happened to you, my daughter?''
Felicia easily dealt with the robbers. But cried out soon after as she fell to her knees and started to agonizing on the sidewalk. Her body was growing, her hands changing and her arms were covering in fur. She was in anguish to be sure.
-''No, no! What is happening to you?! FOOLS STOP STARING AND HELP HER!'' Anastasia shouted in despair even though none of them would hear her. She too was feeling her daughter's pain, misery and despair.
Just in moments, Anastasia witnessed the beast appeared from her daughter's body slashing its way through the crowd and vanished into the night.
-''What the curse has fallen upon us?'' Anastasia stared at to screen with empty eyes for a while.
After some minutes, she finally found the strength to got on her feet and go to the phone.
-''Hello, Peter Parker is here?'' Peter answered
-''Peter, I'm Anastasia, I,.. your girlfriend needs your help more than ever now'' Anastasia said with a frozen voice
-''I just saw what has happened too. There is no need for words or description. I will help her, don't you worry madam'' .
-''I have to help you! Is there anything I can do?''
-''-Who is at the top of your scientists team which creating your super serums?''
-''Dr. Robert Marcus, he should be in the Foundation now'' .
-''Good. So, ask him for to contact with Dr. Connor. Who is searching for a cure for Felicia now''
-''And, Ms. Hardy?''
-''Yes?''
-''Do you aware of Dr. Octopus just stole a super serum, -which caused your daughter to be like this now- from your Foundation?''
-''I know, end of speech''
-''You are not working with him madam, please say yes?''
''Yes, I don't want to talk about this anymore'' She replied bitterly.
-''I'm praying you're right'' Peter said and closed the phone. ''I hope I don't earn myself two antagonist at once'' Peter sighed and put his mask upon his face.
…
The Woman-Spider once known as Felicia Hardy wildly made its way to where its instincts leading to her. The costume once belonged to Black Cat was torn to its seams, almost hardly preventing the freaking monster, -once one of the most beautiful womans in the city- being fully naked. Finally the monster reached its destination, an abandoned garage which could be a nest for it. As it climbing through the walls, waste water was pouring to the ground from above. Along with the rats, the smell was awful. It could be a good spot for it to hide and bring its victims to eat them.
…
Spiderman, Dr. Connor and Dr. Marcus met at the lab of the Hardy Foundation. Connor made a good progress for a cure. But examining the exact serum Felicia taken to give her super powers would be a key turning point. While Marcus and Connor discussing the topic, Peter had another idea on his mind:
-''Guys!'' Peter exclaimed. The two nerd scientist turned to him.
-''I have an idea, which I'm sure would sound crazy. But we are in a condition that being logical would slow us. We both need to stop Doc Oc and stop and save Felicia.
So, here is my idea. Connor, how can you keep your sanity when you turn into the Lizard? I know you can do it for quite some time''
-''Hmm, well. It was a serum I created. The keypoint is; It will cause you to mutate if you're already had a mutation disease. When I drink it, it triggers my mutation but I keep my sanity. I see what you are going to: If you are willing to take it, you already accept the risk of becoming your inner devil willingly. And you have to take it again to recover, at least returning your current state''
After a while of silence Peter replied:
-''After you finished the serum to recover my beloved, Connor, you and I will take your serum. We need to take this risk for both the safety of Manhattan, and my love. I don't want to see in a near future more innocents becomes monsters just because of that madman's work.''
-''To get into my plan'' Peter continued. ''To be honest it is hilariously simple; The Neogenic Recombinator has a part that you can injects serums to it. You and I will reveal our little monster forms. After it, we will disrupt Oct's little party, trying to erupt a chaos. During it, I lure Felicia there. Don't look at me like I'm mad. I've became once what she is now, so I know how to lure our prey to here. Then you shoot the laser to her. If my calculations are correct, after she recovered our little criminal should be in webs. During that time Connor, you are to distract them from Felicia. Then I will take her to safety''
-''It sounds like things won't go as exact as you planned'' Connor replied
-''That's why it is a brilliant plan'' Peter smirked
The clock was ticking and the night was still young. But for Peter, time was not passing as he gazing the two Neogenic madman working on Felicia's case.
''-JACKPOT!'' Marcus shouted suddenly.
''*Please good news'' Spiderman exclaimed as he ran towards to them.
''-We developed it to a stage to cure Miss Hardy'' Marcus stated. ''. She is supposed to be return her normal form completely unlike you. That's good news''
-''Why the earth you are not giving the bad news first instead? Go on!'' Peter sighed
''- The truth is, like you, she is need to get a treatment every month.A single missing in the schedule would cause her to mutate again. That's bad news. I'm sorry Parker, but you two will never be cured completely'' Marcus finished
''-At least it is not the worse case'' Peter sighed.
''-So, Connor, how about to give a chance our freaky friends a chance to release for a while?''Peter smirked to Connor.
Just in the middle of its feast -a corpse of a young man- the Woman-Spider sensed a call,coming from the distance. It instinctively straighten up and looked upon The Kingpins Tower. Something called the Woman-Spider to itself, a familiar, yet still an alien calling that was.
…
In the silence of the late night, a six armed brute and a Man-Lizard were sneaking their way into the garage of The Kingpin Tower. There were noises came from inside, like someone doing a speech. They came to the ending of the canal, closed by a ıron fence. From there, they could easily see the crowd gathered before Dr. Octopus, all of them holding a serum in their hands, ready to be drinked.
-''Accept, accept my offering to be the beginning of the next generation of evolution in mankind's history. The mutants are not our enemies, we must become them instead forcing them to become us. The process will definitely be painful, but it won't remove the ultimate prize at the end!'' Octopus yelled.
''Hey, we are the freaky guys here! Don't you dare to replace us!'' Man-Spider and Man-Lizard jumped to the ground.
''-Hmm, it seems I got two good subjects to show you, my followers. Look at them! Look that they could keep their intelligence while accepting the gift of Neogenic!'' Octopus pointed to them.
''- I've always hated to being in the spotlight'' Man-Spider replied as he shoot out webs from all of his arms to Octopus, while making a special telepathic calling to lure Felicia there.
Much to his surprise, the chaos erupted without his efforts. The subjects drinked their serums. Before Peter and Lizard, men and women wriggling and twisting, growing extra arms or furthermore, becoming werespiders.
''Uh, oh. Connor it seems we have to be quick. They are already distracted. GO!'' Peter urged Connor as he heard a ''familiar'' voice from his back.
The Woman-Spider was there, ferocious and bloodthirsty. Without not even looking to Peter, it rushed through his way and leaped to its prey: Octopus.
The primal Werespiders and freaks eventually prevented it and pushed it back. In a brief moment, the Woman-Spider and Man-Spider came eye to eye. There was no need to speak, the two were already knew what to do.
''Where is the slot? Damn you!'' Connor cursed as he quickly turning and examining the Recombinator, knowing his time was limited.
-''Got it!'' he exclaimed as he opened the vial and poured what was inside of it to the machine. ''Now easy easy you little girl'' Connor said while trying to make the needed adjustments with his monstrously hands. A primal mutant rushed to him but he easily knocked it down with a punch.
That's it! The machine was in the right mod. All he got to do turning it and with a good aim, shooting its laser to a Once-Beautiful-Blondie-But Now A Freak one. He was observing the battle ongoing between two ''real'' Werespiders and their primal copies. The Woman-Spider and Man-Spider now face to face Dr. Oc.
-''Begone primal insects! I'm the one created you! You can't defeat me!'' Octopus yelled, but with a certain fear and doubt.
-''So you should be careful of what you are creating it seems'' Man-Spider replied as the Woman-Spider, with a shocking savagery leaped to its prey. Dr. Oc just could not stand beside its relentless attacks, both physical and web shootings. Almost willing to tear its target to its pieces.
-''Stop, I didn't mean that you mindless brute!'' Man-Spider exclaimed as he covered with web both it and the distracted Dr Octopus at the same time, immobilizing them. With the help of the Lizard, Dr. Octopus laid down unconscious.
On the other hand, the Woman-Spider wriggling against the web covered it, bellowed in anger and ferocity.
-''Now, let's not scare the young and beautiful woman inside this shell'' Man-Spider said as he drank his serum, slowly regaining his human form.
-''Connor!'' Peter coughed. ''Start the process! Now!''
Connor ran to the Recombinator, turned it to Woman-Spider and triggered the process. A green beam targeted the monster as it surrounded by a laser.
The Woman-Spider loosed a harrowing cry as it forced to change. The webs covered it decomposed as the monsters body changing. It's face shifted as the monstrous face gave its place to of a beautiful, young woman had. The extra eyes disappeared as her vile fangs retreated into her cheeks, recovering the scars like they never existed. Her gigantic, grey feet began to shrunk, leaving behind cute,small,pale barefeet. The fur covering her body disappearing as revealing her almost naked body. With each passing moment, there was more a Felicia Hardy then a monster. Finally, her extra arms retreated into her body, leaving behind an almost naked, unconscious beautiful young woman. Though most of it decomposed, webs were still covering some of her body.
-''Ehm, ehm'' Connor coughed and with shame, he turned his head away.
-''It's end'' Peter sighed as he grabbed the young woman, walking to the exit.
Author Note: So, Peter took a big risk to save both Felicia and Manhattan. In time, everyone could conquer their inner beasts, like what Peter and Connor did. The desperate Felicia got saved by her friends, but her nightmare wasn't end, nor will.
