Long delay again. I wish I could upload every two or three weeks. Not an entire month later :(
Some replies (I haven't replied properly in a while):
TO venom rules all: Thanks! Glad you like it. I think you'll find this chapter interesting.
TO Bestplayer109: Thanks for the review. Yeah, Kamijou Touma = 0.0 luck. The thing about Spider-Man disappearing from NY is (although I haven't talk about it yet) actually simpler. It's like "guys, I need to do something. I'll be gone for at least two or three months. See you!" Yeah, very simple. I'll add Deadpool, but it'll be after this arc. Don't worry, I know exactly where to put him.
TO RPGFanatic: Thanks for the review. I'm really glad you like this OC arc.
TO thedark2: Thanks for the review. I can add him, but I don't think it would be soon. Maybe only in the last arcs, but I'm going to consider him.
TO cloud666: Thanks for the review. Obviously. Hahaha! Girl who feels the scents of this Kamijou-san gets trapped in his web. The chapter is finally here. Sorry for keeping you waiting.
UPDATE 24/06/2015 11:04 Fixed grammar and coerence.

Chapter 16 – The new enemy
"You have been problematic, Kaitabi" Multi-Man said with an impassive voice. His six double behind him. "You have become a trouble for Sensei and the organization."
Kaitabi paled at the masked dry words. "W-w-wait! W-wait please. Ahhh…"
The same as him, Kuroko and the other espers of the place were also suffering because of the effects of Multi-Man's Capacity Down, or rather, as he called it, the Esper Suppressor.
Peter knew the situation wasn't good. This Multi-Man and was the same guy that long ago attacked Touma. He pointed his wrists to the self-proclaimed mutant and his doubles.
Spider Sense
Peter turned around to see a red light going to his eyes. Four meters over him and his comrades of the Judgement, there was a platform. Over this platform, ten shooters were aiming their rifles with laser sight to their bodies. All of them were also doubles.
"It wouldn't be a good idea to move" Multi-Man (Original?) stated. "We're using special Smartguns of automatic aim."
Peter growled. He looked at Kitty and he knew she was already prepared to go intangible. They needed to act fast.
"What're you planning to do, Multi-Man?"
Multi-Man gazed at him. "I'm just here to… tie up some loose ends."
Peter knew those words never meant anything good. That guy wasn't there to help the Electro Upper gang.
"P-p-p-please! Please!" Kaitabi begged. "We're going to fix the problem. Now that you're here, we just have to k-k-kill those guys. A-a-and...t-then...search for that fatty of Koujun Kikuhiko that escaped."
"We already dealt with that mistake of yours."
It seems that those words echoed in the entire room. Peter was the first to react.
"What the fuck are you talking about!? What did you do with Koujun?"
Multi-Man smirked at his question and didn't answer.
"I-I-I left him near an Anti-Skill station. He would have only needed to walk an alley." Kuroko muttered from her down position as she was still being held down by the Esper Suppressor. "He should have been safe there."
"Many things can happen in an alley." Multi-Man said smirking. "That cow isn't a problem anymore."
Peter's eyes widened and Kitty gritted her teeth. What those words implied was that a person was probably dead and they didn't do anything to prevent it. It was worst for Peter. He had the sole mission of defending the human life, despite if it belonged to an innocent or a villain.
"You...killed him?" Kaitabi tried to smile, but the only thing that could be seen in his face was fear. "N-n-nice… one less problem. Now...we have to take down these idiots from the Judgement."
Multi-Man didn't reply to the esper. He only took a handgun out of his jacket and put it against Kaitabi's temple.
"This'll teach to not be problematic."
"NOOO." Peter shot a web to Multi-Man's weapon in an anthem to disarm him.
A shot echoed. Kaitabi couldn't reply. He couldn't prepared himself. He was afraid it might happen, but as anyone near their deaths, he hoped a hero would save him. Kaitabi fell to the floor with a hole on the head. Peter's web successfully disarmed the mutant, but it was a single fourth of second late. For several seconds, nobody pronounced a word. But Sebura eventually broke the silence.
"Kai-Kaitabi… Nooo..." She could barely speak properly due to the Esper Suppressor, much less move. "I'm...going...to kill you."
Multi-Man just shrugged, operated a few controls on Kaitabi's Electro Upper and retrieved the machine. Sebura glared at him harder and kept trying to stand up. Meanwhile, Peter took action. Feeling the rage building up in his interior, he shot a pair of webs towards the support of the platform where the double with rifles were located. He then pulled his webs and the structure collapse causing the small army to hit the floor and disintegrate in orange dust.
"Kitty, take care of Kuroko and the other espers. They are vulnerable until we deactivate the Esper Suppressor."
With those words, Peter closed his distance with the remaining seven Multi-Mans. The six that he hadn't disarm yet took equal handguns out of their jackets and began to shoot at him. The Spider-Man barely dodged the bullets. Those weapons were also Smartguns. He could feel the projectiles gracing his body by a closer margin than when he went against regular thugs with regular weapons.
Equally he closed his distance and landed a punch on one the doubles, which disappeared into orange dust. More bullets echoed and Peter jumped from left to right to prevent himself of getting hit. Of course, he knew that a few handgun bullets wouldn't kill or leave him severely wounded. But, it isn't a pleasant to have bullets in your body.
Peter shot his web and pulled the closest double towards him. He grabbed his opponent and threw the mutant against another pair. The three doubles disappeared. Peter continued to jump barely dodging the Smartgun's bullets and used his webs to reach the roof. From his advantage position, he analized his situation.
'If there were seven and I took down four...Why the hell are now like fifteen Multi-Man!?' The teen looked astonished how his enemy, realizing that he was being defeated, kept multiplying when Peter focused on taking down one of them.
PUM PUM PUM PUM PUM PUM
"Dammit. This is going to be tough" Peter murmured as he moved from his position when he felt the incoming bullets with his Spider Sense.
He looked at Kitty, who was still covering Kuroko. He couldn't ask her to give him a hand. She needed to protect Kuroko. They couldn't now when this villain could turn his aim to the young and currently vulnerable esper.
"Got to finish this shit now."
With strong resolution (and recklessness), Peter jumped forward to the Multi-Man group. The Smartguns' bullets graced his body many times, but he reached them and with a quick roundhouse kick took down four more doubles making them disappear into orange dust.
'Good thing they aren't very resistance' Peter thought as he realized that a single hit with his enhanced force was enough to defeat one of Multi-Man's doubles.
However, there was something more important. Where was the original? Peter continued to dodge the bullets trying to notice a difference between the men that were attacking him. All of them looked the same.
Then, Peter noticed with the corner of the eye, that one Multi-Man was covering behind the others. 'That must be the original.' Knowing this, Peter went ahead putting himself in a more vulnerable position against the bullets. It wasn't much problem. He knew that a few bullets wouldn't be very much for him.
Peter was close now to defeat the original and probably that would mean the same ending with the doubles. Then he felt a bullet entering in his side. It shouldn't had harmed him nor stopped him, but Peter put a knee on the ground and coughed blood.
"What…?" Peter grabbed his side in disbelief.
Spider Sense
He didn't have much time to be surprised. More bullets came his way. He managed to jump with enough precision to dodge them, despite his wound and that the weapons used where Smartguns. Another bullet got him. This time on the thigh. Peter gasped again and used his web to escape from the bullets. The room where he and his comrades had been fighting until now was a storage room. So, it was filled with many crates and containers. Peter took cover behind one of these.
'What kind of bullets are these?' Peter wondered as he checked his body.
Like he was answering him, a Multi-Man spoke from the distance. "For you to be able to move after being hit by not only one, but two adamantium bullets... Indeed, you're not normal. Not even for a mutant. Are you actually a mutant? Or not?"
Peter's eyes widened in surprise. He couldn't see Kitty from his position, but he knew that her jaw was probably on the floor. Adamantium. Academy City's scientist had put their hands in that powerful metal. Worst, the dark side too.
"As you won't come out" Peter heard Multi-Man's voice. "I'll finish with these two before taking you out."
Peter froze when he heard that. He could leave Kuroko on Kitty's care, but he couldn't leave the down Sebura and Trick. Peter was a hero who took importance about any life, regardless if it belonged to an innocent or a villain. The teen took courage and jumped of his cover after wrapping his wounds with web.
He saw Kitty fighting against eight Multi-Man. Every time she was shot she made use of her intangibility, then she delivered huge blows into the doubles making them dust right away. But it was difficult. For every double she took down two formed in front of her. Peter went to help her. He jumped and eagle-kicked the nearest oponent. Then, Spider-Man smacked two heads together.
"Tch. This is getting harder" a Multi-Man said. He put his mouth close to a communicator in his arm. "Harpy, your turn."
In that precise moment, the skylight located five meters above them shattered in hundred pieces. A figure came down and landed in its knees cracking the floor.
Peter quickly examined the probably new enemy. First of all, it was a she. A girl, specifically. She had a small but trained body. She was wearing a black T-shirt and short pants. Her hair was dark brown and tied up in a ponytail. She had a mask of a bird similar to the ones used in Brazilian carnivals.
But there was a more resembling fact about her. There were a big pair of brown bird-like wings growing from her back.
"Harpy" one of the Multi-Man called her. "Finish her."
'Her…? Oh, fuck! No!' Peter opened his eyes in sudden surprise as he realized that this Harpy girl was in front of the down Sebura.
The Electro Upper user was still on the ground, cursing because of the death of her comrade, due to the effects of the Esper Suppressor. Harpy grabbed her by the neck and raised her hand which was, more than a hand, a claw. Blood burst out. Sebura couldn't even gasp when her head was separated from her body.
Kitty covered her mouth and Peter glared at the new opponent. "You murder!"
Harpy looked at him but didn't replied.
"Harpy" Multi-Man called her again. "You don't have to worry more. I can deal with the rest. Just remember to pick them up."
Harpy nodded and opened her wings. She launched herself into the air and flew towards...the down Kuroko!
""I won't let you harm her!""
Peter and Kitty left Multi-Man and ran to protect their comrade. The Spider-Man tied her to the floor with a web. "Now she won't…"
CUT
"...escape…. How the hell could you cut my web!?" Then he realized it. "Those are...adamantium...claws…"
Kitty was also astonished, but she didn't let that stop her. She put herself in the way of the bird girl. "Take this, bitch!"
The X-Men member tried to punch her opponent, but Harpy avoid the attack. She attempted to cut Kitty's throat with her claws, but realized that she couldn't touch her. The two girls continued to hit each other. One of them prevented herself from getting the blow by going intangible and the other only dodged.
"Enough" Harpy said with a low voice and then she flew up over Kitty getting to Kuroko.
Peter, desperate more than ever in that day, shot a web to Harpy, but the mutant again cut it with her claws. She grabbed something from Kuroko and left her. Kitty quickly examined the pigtailed to see what the bird girl did to her.
"She got nothing."
Peter sighed in relief. It was more than enough for him to let three persons die, even if two of them were criminals. He didn't want to lose an important friend too. He saw how Harpy flew to the side of the Multi-Man army, which was now over thirty persons.
"You shouldn't have messed with the organization."
"Who the hell are you? What's your objective?" Peter asked pointing a finger at the criminal mutants.
"What the hell did you do to Kuroko-chan?" Kitty asked as she covered her friend.
Harpy showed what she was carrying in her hand. "Recover" she only said. What she had were the two Electro Uppers that the Judgment gang had taken from Sebura and Trick before.
"I think we can go now."
When one of the several Multi-Mans said this, Harpy extended her wings and got out of the storage room through the skylight. Just as she came in first. The doubles of Multi-Man disappeared then, but it wasn't because they were attacked. The reason was that he no longer needed them.
"Goodbye... Forever."
"Wait, you bastard!" Peter yelled glaring at him. "After all you have done, I won't let you escape!"
Peter jumped throwing his webs.
The last Multi-Man smirked and said: "You shouldn't have messed with the organization. You shouldn't have messed with BOOK." Then he disappeared into orange dust as the annoying sound of the Esper Suppressor too. Silence raised in the storage room. All the Multi-Man they fought with. All of them weren't the original.
'So whatever happened here he would have been safe. That motherfucker!' Peter cursed in his head.
"Hey, Pete."
Peter turned to Kitty. The girl had an inexpressive face. She was probably feeling guilty of not being able to safe Kaitabi and Sebura. Peter was about to say something when she interrupted him.
"Kuroko is alive. The same as Trick. But they don't look good. That Esper Suppressor must have hurt their brains or something."
Peter looked at his young pigtailed friend, who was unconscious on Kitty's arms. Then he turned his gaze over the remaining Electro Upper user. Something he was wondering: Why did that pair of hitmen –because they were hitmen- left one of their "loose ties" without taking care of it?
More important, what was BOOK? Peter was wondering about all this when…
He felt some chills. It wasn't his Spider Sense. Maybe it was pure instinct or something similar, but… Peter looked around the storage room seeking for…
BEEP BEEP
That was when Peter focused his hearing in all his surroundings. He knew what it was. He didn't wait to shout.
"Kitty! Go intangible and take Kuroko underground!"
Peter didn't wait for her answer and ran full speed trying to reach the unconscious Trick, twenty meters away. He ran. He couldn't know how many seconds he had left. Apparently, cero.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A dozen of bombs placed in hidden and specific locations burst up at the same time destroying the entire building, in which Peter and his friends were.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Some minutes ago
"What does this means?"
"It means: Insert code B" Touma replied to the girl that had identified herself as Rogue.
The pair, after their unexpected meeting, had gone to find a certain console, where the girl started to gather data. From time to time, Rogue asked him questions about the kanjis on the screen. She wasn't very much into the Japanese alphabet.
"Right" Rogue replied.
"Etto...Rogue...san" Touma implied. "Have you find what you were looking for? I mean, have you found something about your friend?"
"I haven't even got to the database. I'm still cracking the system… Now!"
She pressed a key and the huge screen of the console showed a long list of folders and files. Touma gulped. There were lots of information.
"Does you have to look in all these folders? That could take you an entire week" the teen commented with pessimism.
"If you don't want to be here you can just go."
Rogue didn't even looked at him when she said that. Touma rolled his eyes and crossed his arms on the back of his head. As the spiky haired was looking at nowhere, the brunette used many types of search parameters to find what she was looking for.
"Nothing...nothing...nothing…" she was murmuring.
Touma decided to take a walk around the room they had entered before. It was kind of big, fourth times his the apartment he shared with Index. It wasn't illumined as the entire place, as he noticed. Before they had turn the operative console, he had to use his phone as a light source to prevent the two of them stumbling into something.
The console was the only thing in the room. It was a big machine that consisted of a one meter keyboard and a huge screen that at least was one fourth of the ones in the cinemas. Touma already considered the whole base like the typical bad guys' HQ that anyone could see in the movies.
"Yeah, the base of the mad scientist…"
"(ENG) Nail it!"
"Rogue, what's with that slang? If it's difficult for me to get regular English, I can't deduce..."
"I'm saying that I found what I was looking for. Good, good now I just...Uh."
Touma felt the misfortune striking again. "What do you mean by "uh", Rogue-san?"
"I…" The girl scratched her head. "...don't have a USB and I don't think I can connect to the Internet with this machine to pass all this megabytes of information through the web."
"What?! What're we going to do?"
Rogue looked around the place. "Help me to find a CD or something similar."
"Ooow." So the two teens did their best to find something to carry the data, but, unfortunately, they couldn't find anything. "What now? Should we take pictures with my cell pho… Hey don't just snatch it!"
Rogue grabbed the boy's cell and began to take pictures of the screen in front of her. A pair of minutes later she had recorded all what she wanted and filled half of the memory of the Touma's gadget.
"I don't have signal here below, but when we return up, I can send you the pictures to your email and that" Touma commented putting his cell phone in his pocket. "Can we go now?"
"No, you can't."
The teens turned around when they heard the new voice. Their gaze focused on the same spot, the entrance of the room they were in. There was a blond teen looking at them. Touma recognized him. He was the guy that seemed to be the leader of those soldiers he and Rogue took down before.
"Who're you? What're you doing with this place?" Touma inquired putting his body tension as this teenage was giving him chills who knows why.
The teen smirked and, instead, ask: "Why is an esper helping a mutant?"
"Oi! I asked you… Mutant?" Touma turned around to look at Rogue.
The girl's expression denoted seriousness and a hint of disgust against the blond boy. Then she spoke. "Yeah, Kamijou Touma. I'm a mutant."
Touma's eyes widened. The thought of the girl being a mutant instead of an esper never crossed his mind. He couldn't imagine how a mutant had get in Academy City or why. He had heard about the barbaric mutants who roamed uncontrollably around the US. It was common for regular espers of Academy City to dislike mutants, even if they hadn't seen one in all their life.
"Because she's a girl in troubles." Touma was different. He didn't care what a person was. As long he or she was in an unfair danger, he would stand up to help. "Now, answer me! Who the hell are you?"
Meanwhile, Rogue couldn't believe her ears. This boy… First, he almost impose his help to her, an unknown person for him. And now, he wasn't even nervous of being with a mutant. She glared at the blond teen and then to the black haired. She took a decision.
"Stay back, Kamijou Touma." Rogue stepped forward. "This is a powerful being. You'll hurt or easily die if you try to face him."
"W-what!? If he a dangerous person? Now I got more reason to not stay back."
"Listen to me, idiot" Rogue said losing her temper. She had decided to not let this good willed esper die on the hands of that guy, and he was making a ruckus!? "If you try to do something, he'll break your skull."
"Oh, Rogue" the blond teen intervened. "I won't break his skull. I'll just eat him."
'...Eat...me…?' Touma could only put on a nervous expression to that statement.
Until now, many people had threatened him in many different ways. Some had said that they would crush him, kill him, break all his bones and a certain white haired even said that he was going to become an art masterpiece. However, nobody had declared to him that he was going to be eaten. That was new for him.
While Touma was thinking about this, Rogue took another step forward. "Until now, you have been kind of my jailer. Thanks to him, that's over…... Eddie Brock."
"Indeed…" To this point, Eddie's breathing became heavier and his smile become the one of a madman. "Even if BOOK, which is paying me very good, is still interested on keeping you alive, you won't be my prisoner anymore..."
A dark blue almost-black substance started to cover the guy's skin. His human body disappeared from sight as it was covered by a suit that increased his high by two and his muscle by three. The face become the one of a monster with sharp teeth, a long tongue and red shiny eyes filled with anger and hate. Eddie Brock was now with the suit of Ultimate Venom.
"...BECAUSE YOU WILL BECAME MY FOOOOOOOOOOD!"
(NOW: Touma and Rogue VS Ultimate Venom)
The lump of almost four meter of height charged forward with the intention of crushing Rogue. The girl jumped over him barely on time. Touma jumped to the left also barely on time. Venom crashed with the console in which Rogue had been working a minute ago and transformed it into a mass of useless metal.
"What the hell is that thing!?" Touma shout scared. It was the first time he had seen something like this monster. The only thing out of the manga and movies he could think about was Innocentius, the creature Styl Magnus normally used. But this thing looked even scarier.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Venom, seeing Touma as the closer pray, jumped over to absorb him. The spiky haired rolled forward just when the symbiote was falling to the ground cracking the floor. Rogue used that opening. She ran from her position and jumped to place herself in front of Venom's head.
"Hyaaaa!" She gave a perfect combination of kicks combo. With her Juggernaut strength, the symbiote was thrown against the floor.
"CONSUMEEEEEE!" Venom stood back and went to grab her.
Rogue quickly slipped past the monster's big hands and gripped his chest. Nothing happened.
"W-what? Again!?"
The truth was that her ability was working on the suit, but it was regenerating so much fast that Brock didn't felt his forces or life leaving him, as the girl was touching a part that didn't belong to his human body. Venom, with his sharp teeth covered in saliva, smirked like a devil.
"Seems that it isn't working well… BETTER FOR ME!"
Brock raised his huge arm and blew away the young mutant just swinging it. The girl crashed against a wall and stood back with heavier breathing and blood coming from her forehead. She saw how her opponent walked with huge steps towards her. But something, no, someone put between them.
"I won't let you harm her" Touma said with determination, as he wasn't facing a being fifteen stronger and three times taller.
"Ha? Do you know who you're messing with, punk? I'm Venom after absorbing Carnage. I'm the perfect symbioteeeeeee!"
"Like I know those guys. Fuck off, you thug!"
A dangerous growl came from Venom's mouth. He roared again and drove his enormous punch towards the ground, the same spot where Touma was standing. The teen focused and wait for the right timing.
"Kamijou! You have to escape!" Rogue yelled from the back.
Venom fist was already over him, but Touma moved to the right avoiding the strike by mere centimeters. 'As Peter said, if you avoid the attacks in the right timing, the opponent will have to take more time to recover in order to attack again.'
Touma didn't waited more. He clenched his right fist and landed it against the chest of this being known as Venom. He felt how his hand went numb after colliding that powerful suit.
"What're you trying to do, punk?" Venom got his disgusting face closer to Touma's.
Meanwhile, the wielder of the Imagine Breaker didn't understand what was going, or rather, he was trying to accept it. 'Why is my Imagine Breaker not working? Does it means...this guy...isn't supernatural!?'
"Move of my way!" Venom swung his claw against Touma.
There wasn't time to dodge it. However…
"Arght!" Rogue grabbed the extremity just in time when it was about to drill the spiky haired's body. She pushed the teen with the elbow getting him out of the symbiote range.
'This guy is truly powerful' Rogue thought noticing she wasn't having it easy to maintain Venom under control even with Juggernaut strength.
"WHRAAAAA!" Venom opened his jaw to bite Rogue's head.
The mutant, seeing this, left his arm and jumped back to avoid a certain and horrible dead. However, Brock had a plan.
"I'LL CONSUME YOU!"
He extended his arm and his hand changed its shape. A tentacle grew from it. Although, rather than a tentacle, it was more like a whip. The long extremity trapped Rogue's leg and made her lose her stand. She fell to the floor and was dragged towards the symbiote.
"Oh, fuck! This is bad." Rogue used all her physical force to not let herself be taken to her obvious dead.
But it was a difficult task. Her position plus the enemy's force were more than enough for her.
"Be my dinner! Hahahaha!" Venom opened his arms, tentacles erupted from his chest with the intention of consuming the girl.
"Like hell I let you!"
Rogue's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Touma climbing behind the symbiote and holding of its big neck. The teen struggled to maintain his position with all his forces and, then, he…
"You have a really big tongue."
Touma grabbed Venom's 40 centimeters tongue. As it was big and wide, he could hold it without much trouble. 'Although this is disgusting as hell!!'
"(ENG) Waaah! Motherfucker, leave that!"
Venom stopped gripping Rogue and ran through all the room uncontrollable trying to shake of the boy from his back, but Touma maintained his grip around the monster's neck and also over its tongue.
"Is your tongue your weakness or something?"
"(ENG) LET GO! LET GOOOOO!"
Venom kept swirling and stomping around the room without control. Multiple times he tried to grabbed Touma with his claws, but with his overgrown muscles a normal fit like that was impossible. He began to the punch the floor with his massive fists desperately trying to get rid of the annoying pest in his back.
"Nice work, Kamijou!"
Rogue made use of the opening again and hit with the strongest hook punch that she ever used in her life. That was kind of a killing blow because Venom was still with his tongue out.
"Yiaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg!"
The symbiote gave a pair of slow steps back. Touma, realizing the danger, decided to jump down from its back.
BUMP
The symbiote fell back. Touma sighed in relief, but Rogue warned him. "Be careful! He isn't…"
SWIRP SWIRP
The teens found their four extremities strangled by tentacles.
"...down….. Waaaaah!"
"You two will become less than cells INSIDE MY BODY!"
In the mere seconds they lowered their guard, Venom had already stood up. This time more than very pissed off. With a roar his body began to grow.
"Rogue! What's going on with him?" Touma shouted fearing that horrible monster that a minute ago didn't look to much different from a regular teen.
"Looks like he has more in his than I thought first! How Spider-Man does always dealt with this guy! Oh fuck, I think I screw it up! Shouldn't have say that name."
Venom, who had been roaring and going through a change, suddenly stopped. Silence took over the room for a matter of seconds, when the symbiote muttered two words. "Spider...maaaaaaaaaan!"
"Who the hell is Spider-Man?"
Rogue ignored the spiky haired and clenched her fist. Touma, realizing it was worthless to ask, did the same.
Venom returned his glare towards them. "Spider…..man…. I'm gonna kill you two. THEN. I'll return to the States and kill Parker!"
Touma froze. 'Parker? Is he maybe talking about…?' His thought were cut when he felt more of Venom tentacles touching his body. Rogue was also being disturbed by these disgusting extremities. But she commented something kind of…
"I came to Japan and I end up like the heroine of some ecchi anime."
"Oi! This is also happening to me… Don't touch there! I'm…kind of sensible on that spot." Touma lowered his head shyly.
"How do you say here? Yeah! Itadakimasu!"
Just when the pair were about to be consumed…
KAAAAABUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!
A thunderous explosion echoed just above the trio. The entire rooftop trembled like it had recived a missile and dust fell from it. But it wasn't only that.
"Yaaaaaa!"
"Whaaaaaaa!"
"What's going on!?"
Three figures actually emerged from the rooftop and fell over Venom, who fell over Touma and Rogue.
"Oh, come on! Now I got this big thing crushing me!? I'm totally on an unlucky streak" the girl commented.
"If this is due to misfortune I'm truly sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it!"
"What're you talking about?"
"Good thing that some puffy pillow was just below us" a new feminine voice said.
"We almost didn't count it" another voice, this time masculine with a hint tiredness in it, said.
'Those voices…' Touma recognized them. "Peter? Pryde?"
"Touma?" Peter's eyes widened in surprise when he found his close friend inside that base. "Why are you here, man? More specific… Why are you…under me?"
"Why are you…above me?"
…
…
…
""Never talk about this again!""
"You two truly are misfortune's representatives" Kitty commented sighing.
"Kitty? It that you? I wondered who Kamijou was talking with. Wait, Peter Parker is also here? What the hell are you two doing in Academy City!?"
"No way!" Kitty stood up and got closer to Rogue. "Marian! You're here! I finally found you."
"Hey, when did Rogue get here?" Peter asked scratching his head. "You never told me."
"Like you never told me that you were a pair of mutants."
"Kuroko! You're awake." Some sweat came from Peter's forehead. "We'll explain ourselves, but actually I'm not a mutant."
"Shirai is also here?"
"Kamijou-san? What's a civilian doing in a criminal base? Unless…" The girl's smile became the one of a devil. "Fufufufu! With this I can arrest him and end his relationship with Onee-sama."
"Oi! You're planning that conspiracy against this innocent Kamijou-san out loud!"
"These two…" Peter rolled his eyes, then he thought about it. "Hum… People, what are we standing on exactly?"
Touma paled and Rogue muttered something like "Crap! I forgot". The puffy thing that had stopped Peter, Kitty and Kuroko's fall was nothing more than…
"THAT VOICE... PARKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!"
"…Brock? What're you doing in Academy City?"
Venom didn't replied and stood back again shaking Kuroko and Peter. Touma and Rogue became free from the weight over their bodies. The symbiote grabbed Spider-Man with his enormous hand and crushed him against the wall.
"PARKEER! PARKEEER! PARKEEEEEEER! PARKEEEEEEEEEEER! PARKEEEEEEEEDEEEEEEEER!"
He continued to scream with fury as he hit Peter against the wall repetitively. After 10 or 16 smashes, he finally stopped and glared at the Judgment boy with their faces very close. This one said:
"….As always your breathe stinks like fucking hell. Fuuuuf!" Peter waved his hand with a disgusted expression.
Venom roared and was about to sink the other boy in the wall again when Rogue and Kitty intervened. They landed two powerful kick in his head making him to stop gripping Peter. The two of them grabbed Spider-Man and took him out of the symbiote range.
"Peter you're hurt!" Touma finally realized about his friend's bullet wounds.
"B-bullets wounds!" Kuroko's eyes grew on size at the sight of her comrade injuries.
"I-it's nothing… Arght!" It was something. The adamantium bullets had hit him hard. Peter would need medical care if he wanted to survive. But, for now, he felt that he shouldn't worry his friends.
Besides, there was something more important to deal with in that precise moment.
"ROOOOOOAAAAAAAAR!"
"I think you aren't very willing to answer why the hell you are here, so..."
Peter flicked his wrist and a web shot collided with a rafter that was supporting the rooftop. He pulled it collapsing part of the structure over his old friend and now enemy.
"Wraaaaaaa! PARKER!"
And that was the last yell coming from Venom's mouth that the group heard.
"Peter! You just threw him the roof!" Touma said concerned.
"Don't worry about him. He'll be fine. I'm sure about that. But now…"
Before Peter could finish his phrase, the entire room trembled and more dust came from up.
"Multi-Man's explosive should have damaged the entire base. It's not fine to be under the remains of it."
"PETER PARKER!"
"Hai!" Peter replied nervously to the commanding voice of Kuroko.
"You better tell me everything. Who and what exactly are you and what happened before with that Multi-Man guy. I lost consciousness do to that Capacity Down. No, he called it Esper Suppressor, right? You too Kitty!"
""Hai!"" The older teens replied at the same time.
Kuroko looked at them and was about to suggest the best way to return to the surface, when she recalled about a certain trio.
"Oi, where're Kaitabi and his gang? Did they escaped?" she asked. Peter and Kitty, both of them lowered their heads when they heard her. For the young teleporter, it was hard to understand what happened. "Tell me. Did they escaped? Multi-Man helped them or…"
"I'm going to say it" Peter said with a dejected expression before explaining the events that took place when the pigtailed was unconscious.
"No…..no way" Kuroko muttered in disbelief. "He killed them? In front of three Judgment members?"
"I…we tried our best and…still!" Peter punched the nearest wall cracking it.
"I'm not blaming you, Peter" Kuroko said looking to the floor. "It's just… It's our duty. We're here to protect the lives of everyone in Academy City. That even includes the criminal. That Multi-Man! He killed in cold blood!"
"You're saying that three people…" Touma intervened with an astonished expression, which soon turned into anger. "…Three people died! Just above me! Fuck!" Now it was time for the spiky haired to punch a wall, something that left his arm numb.
"Multi-Man and Harpy, members of BOOK."
Everyone turned to the one who spoke, Rogue.
"Multi-Man mentioned something about BOOK. What the hell is that organization!?" Peter asked infuriated. "You have been here before us, right? What do you know about this group?"
"Calm down, Parker. I also am against those guys. What I know is…"
CRACK CRACK
They all looked up and saw the rooftop cracking. The building was about to bury them.
"Whatever you want to talk about… Let's do it outside!" Kuroko said taking Peter's and Rogue's hand (the last was enveloped in a glove). "Kitty, you take Kamijou-san. For some reason I can't teleport him."
"What? Your power don't work with him? It's the same with me!" Kitty yelled with a hint of frustration in her voice.
"Same problem around here."
"You also, Marian… Wait! Do you actually tested with him?" Kitty asked worried knowing about her former comrade's power.
"Now that I think about it… How the hell did you met exactly?" Peter wondered scratching his head.
"It's…. a long story. The point is that my power doesn't affects this hedgehog head." Rogue pointed at a certain spiky haired boy.
"Oi! Who're you calling a hedgehog head!?"
"Shut up, Sonic!"
"Well his hair is black, so he would be Shadow…actually" Peter joked trying to relieve the tension. It didn't work, but it was a good try.
"Alright people!" Kuroko focused in taking control of the situation again. "Even if I'm happy at the sight of Onee-sama's pretender suffering…"
"Such misfortune!"
"…We need to take him, as all of us, to the surface. This place is coming down!"
"You're right, Kuroko" Peter agreed. "Ok, let's do this. Kuroko and Kitty. You take up Rogue. I'll stay with Touma and walk our way to the exit. If we can't use it. You bring a rescue team or a group of telekinesis espers."
Peter knew that Kuroko just needed to teleport up in order to escape and Kitty would go intangible solving the problem easily. He and Rogue could be helped by them, but Touma couldn't. With his Imagine Breaker thing, no especial ability could help him.
However, he was confident about being able to take him to the surface without using the girl's skills. If due to the damages to the base, the entrance to the basement was sealed, he was able to use his superhuman force to destroy any remains of the building. Yes, he was confident.
Although, Peter still had two adamantium bullets inside him. He was tolerating the pain and lack of forces those problems were producing on him, but he didn't know how much would that tolerance last.
"No way! I won't let you risk your life for my sake like that" Touma stubbornly said negating his friend's plan. "You go with Shirai and Pryde. Also take Rogue. I'll go to the exit by myself. If I can't use it, alright, to wait for the rescue team."
"Touma, dammit. You know I'm not normal. I'm not risking that much my life." Peter looked around and eye contacted Kuroko. "Yes, everyone around here know I'm not normal."
"Yes, why exactly is still the mystery" Kuroko said with a glare.
"Either way, I won't let anyone risk his life only for my sake" Touma repeated.
"You…." Peter felt some rage building up in his interior. "For you to say something like that…"
"I won't escape and leave you here."
"Rogue? What're you saying?" Touma inquired the girl forgetting about Peter.
"You just saved my ass back there. I don't tend to say thank you, but I do repay."
"You already repaid me in our fight against that Brook guy."
"I don't feel that like enough." Rogue closed her arms. "I stay with you and the rest escape."
"I won't leave you two here by your own" Peter said also closing his arms.
Kitty and Kuroko looked at each other, then the younger spoke. "This is really troublesome. Okay, I think we're all staying and walking to the exit."
"""What!?"""
"The three of you don't seem like you're going to change your mind." This time it was Kitty the one explaining. "So, I don't see something better than staying here and escaping by foot all together."
"NO WAY!" Touma waved his arms to dissuade the others. "If I wouldn't let Peter to stay, do you actually think that I'll permit four people to…"
"Touma, shut up." (Peter).
"Kamijou-kun, we don't care about your opinion." (Kitty).
"Kamijou-san, unfortunately you're under the group of civilians that I promised to protect when I began working for the Judgment...unfortunately." (Kuroko).
"Sonic, talk to Tails." (Rogue).
To all those statements, Touma could only help it but containing the urges to cry.
"Shall we go?" Kitty pointed to the door.
Everyone nodded, except the spiky haired who only murmured something like "Such misfortune". Like that, they began their way to find the exit. They walked through the places which Touma and Rogue traverse earlier.
When they reached the place where Rogue was previously jailed up, they didn't find the soldiers Touma and the mutant defeated before. They thought those guy had probably already escaped. The group continued their way trying to find the exit.
"This is like a dam labyrinth!" Peter commented pointing his cell as a flashlight when another loud sound echoed reminding them that the place was about to go down. "Hey, Rogue, don't you remember exactly where to go?"
"Do you think I ever got to see a map?" Rogue replied with a glare. "I just have the memories when they first locked me here. Kitty, how're you doing?"
Kitty emerged from a near wall and shook her head. "I can only see ground and walls. What about you, Kuroko-chan."
"Remember I can't teleport freely in places I'm not sure about if I my body will be trapped between walls. Yeez, we're really unfortunate."
Like propelled by her words, all the gazes turned to the only men of the place.
"Such misfortune."
"Typical Parker luck."
BROOOOM
"Dammit! I think we don't have more than a minute before this place crush us" Rogue said as she leaned on the wall to prevent herself from losing her balance.
Everyone nodded and began to run. They soon found some stairs. The group wanted to share a "yahoo!", but, at this point, the place's shakes didn't stop at all. The tremors went on and on. Dust was badly affecting their visibility.
"Everyone run!" Peter shout.
They did as he said. They went up the stair and found the exit. The blocked exit.
"Fuck! Multi-Man's bombs probably destroyed the entire first floor!" Peter clenched his fist and glare at the debris that blocked the door.
"Don't you worry, I'll just go through them and began to open your way from the other side" Kitty said as she walked to the inaccessible exit.
"Take me" Kuroko said. "Remember it's not safe for me to teleport without knowing if there aren't any solid mater in which I can get trapped. The good thing is that I can help you get rid of the debris with my ability."
"I can also help you with my strength" Rogue intervened. "Parker, you stay with Sonic, okay?"
Peter nodded, Touma tried to complain. Again, nobody even listened to him.
The three girls disappeared in the wall leaving the Misfortune Duo alone. Touma was frowning.
"What's with that face?" the other boy asked.
"Why didn't you all just escaped? You could just rescue me later."
"After all these time you should know me enough that I'm not the kind of guy who leaves others in a clear dangerous situation, unless there's no other way."
"I don't like the feeling of people getting themselves in danger just for my sake. No, it's more. I hate it. I disgust that feeling."
Peter rolled his eyes. "Deal with it. Rogue is paying you back in her own way. I'm your friend. Kuroko and Kitty are members from the Judgment, taking care of civilians, like you technically, is their responsibility."
Touma only looked away. The pair could already hear the voice from the girl who were getting rid of the debris from the other side. However…
CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK
The teen looked up. The cracks on above their heads covered the entire rooftop.
"Oh sh…"
"Touma to the ground!" Peter jumped over him. He was planning to receive the debris with his own body, despite his last wounds. 'Fuck! The adamantium bullets already hurt enough.'
In that moment, the rooftop fell over them. Both clenched their teeth and prepared mentally for what was coming.
.…
…
"Oi, what's going on?"
"Peter? I don't feel any other weight from you…. In that case get off me."
The pair looked up again and found a strange sight. The rooftop had, as expected, fallen down, but the debris had like been...destroyed. The remains just fell around the pair leaving them uninjured.
"Yeez. I think I'm a Precognition user more than an Electromaster. When I saw that big as hell explosion, a certain image of two idiots came to my mind. Although, I didn't expect that kind of position."
Some sparks came from the girl's forehead, as the so called idiots recognized her.
""Misaka!""

Done! Let's do this quickly I got classes later and I need to finish my homework :(
Sorry for not updating in more than a month. I had some tests. A pair in the same week. My other fic is also going through constant delays.
Today I introduced Ultimate Venom in the fic. Quick(bad) summary. Eddie Brock was once a good friend of Peter. However, the situation regarding using Venom or destroying him, which in the Ultimate universe was created by their parents, separated them. In this universe, Peter last encounter with Eddie was when they confronted each other in a desolated area of NY.
At this point, Eddie had lost the suit, so he wasn't any challenge for Spider-Man. Gwen Stacy, who in the Ultimate universe is Carnage (not as powerful as the one of the Earth 616) , arrived to the scene. The remnants of Venom in Eddie went crazy and gave him his powers back. He fought Carnage and absorbed him, but let Gwen go. He took a more OP form and escaped.
Something else happened before his story "ended" in this universe, but I'll mentioned on the plot instead of on the author notes. I think is better this way, but if you want, you may check the wiki.
What I like of this Venom is that we don't know how powerful he actually is (it isn't stated on the wiki), so I can go more freely with him. Abilities: Similar to the ones we all know. Tentacles he can use to swing around like web. OP regeneration. Superhuman force. Consuming other living things to regain power. He also can overload Peter's Spider Sense to the point that it gives him strong headaches.
I think nobody will desagree with me when I say that Venom isn't anything supernatural, so he CAN'T be negated by the Imagine Breaker.
Probably there are more things to say, but….. I'm on a hurry. Tell me your opinions. Next chapter is the epilogue of the Electro Upper arc which involve a conversation of 6 people regarding the new enemy: BOOK.
Fav, Follow and most important: Review. Sebaspe out!
