Lucky for you all, my rugged charm has cast a spell on a beautiful and talented writer named Just Q, who has taken the time to help write this next chapter for all of you. Hope you enjoy it. XD
Entangled Magic
"Testing... 1, 2, 3."
"Alright. It's active. Attention all squads, move in and prepare to ambush Target Alpha."
"Roger that. Hail Hydra."
"Hail Hydra."
Hearing the whole conversation, Peter Parker could only chuckle as he perches on a nearby tree while he watches over a group of Hydra soldiers down at the road. Wearing his white, spider themed suit, complete with his belt with gadgets as well as his specialized backpack with his black mechanical spider legs, Spider Man is ready for the job.
"Man, they really got a PhD in Stupid if they think it's gonna be easy for them tonight." Spidey tells himself before activating one of the many functions in his advanced suit. Suddenly his form shimmered and the Spider Vigilante vanished from sight, thanks to his active camouflage.
"Well, they are completely exposed and their weapons are outdated." A sudden mechanically female voice said in his HUD.
"Yes, thank you, Karen." Spidey sarcastically replied to his AI, Karen, as he spots the Hydra goons riding a newly arrived truck. The spider genius then fires a spider tracer at the truck, which magnetizes itself and activates it's tracking function as the vehicle leaves. "Alright, Suit Lady. Get me the tracker."
"Here you go." Karen responds as she shows a map of the forest, which is mostly just the road bellow, and a blinking red dot as the truck they're tracking going down the road. "Now what will you say?" Karen took her turn to be sarcastic.
"Thank you, Karen." Peter replied, ironically, genuinely before jumping off his spot and starts web swinging through the forest and trees while tailing the truck.
When their truck has reached a facility deep in the woods, the Hydra soldiers exit their vehicle as they start to unload their package. While the rest enter the facility with their packages, two soldiers remain outside just near their parked truck.
The two started taking some smokes as they guard the area. While one of them throws away his cigarette into the ground and steps on it, the other one starts talking and says, "Say, what do you think about that hot SHIELD pilot we met the other day–?"
However, he suddenly stopped talking when he was webbed on the mouth out of nowhere before a string of webbing hits him on the chest and gets pulled away with his screams muffled. Because his partner was looking down at his cigarette that he's stepping on, he was unable to see the other guard get abducted. However, he did notice his partner stopped talking all of a sudden.
"You said something, Steiner?" The remaining guard asked as he finally looked at where his partner is, but he's gone. He has little time to process this as he too was webbed up before dragged away into the trees before Spidey comes in swinging after getting rid of his opposition.
"Two down, an entire base to go." Spidey tells himself before web swinging into the gaping door of the base.
Upon entering the base, he is immediately spotted by some soldiers because of his bright, white and black suit, but he didn't mind. He never planned on sneaking in anyway. When they start firing their blasters, he merely swung and jumped and dodged each shot while along the way, starts webbing up any soldier he can target.
However, when he lands on a nearby metal container, his Spider Sense tingled but it was too late as a missile hits his spot and it explodes, knocking Spidey into a wall.
As he attempts to stand up, he sees two feet step up to him, making him look up to see the owner of the feet to see Crossbones holding a rocket launcher.
"Always wanted to squash this bug." Crossbones mocked Spidey before kicking him in the face, knocking his lights out.
When Spidey awoke, he found himself with his costume still on but his hands are tied behind his back by titanium chains. He was stripped of his gear like his spider legs and web shooters. As Hydra agents pull him away while Crossbones leads them, Spidey whispers to his AI, "Karen. Send an SOS..."
"Roger. Sending an SOS to the nearest hero..." Karen responds.
When they arrive in the inner lab of the base, Crossbones nods to his soldiers and they kick Spidey into his foot. "Geez, Crossbones. Your men sure didn't skip leg day. You wanna dial it down a bit?" Spidey joked as he is picked up by the villain by his throat. While he's in Crossbones' hands, Spidey spots that in the lab they're in, there seems to be a large, metal pod at one end as it's doors are pouring out steam...
"Laugh it up, bug. It'll be more satisfying to kill you that way." Crossbones mocked the hero as he tosses him onto a chair, which immediately strapped itself on Spidey's chest and legs to prevent him from moving. "Once we slit your throat, your DNA will be perfect to make our Spider Army, lead by our greatest creation yet..."
"Creation? What did you guys do this time?" Spidey asks as he struggles to move in his restraints.
Crossbones, however, merely laughed as he takes out his knife and brings it close to Spidey's throat, ready to kill him. "You're gonna die anyway. What good is it telling you?" He eerily pointed out...
...before a green portal opens above them and a figure comes out. She blasts Crossbones away from Spidey before sending multiple magical energy balls at the Hydra soldiers in the area.
When the figure lands, she is revealed to be a woman of well-built body, wearing a whole green body suit with a matching green cape. She has some sort of green crown-like headpiece on her head as well as a black eye mask over her, well, eyes. With a yellow belt and gloves, as well as an equally yellow blonde hair, Amora, also known as Queen Marvel, formerly known as the Enchantress of Asgard and simply Ms. Marvel, then fires a small beam from her finger that slices off the restraints on Spidey before she pulls him back up to breaks the chains around his hands.
"What would you do without me?" Amora sarcastically tells the arachnid hero before pushing her out of the way to block a blast with her arms.
"I was handling it. They just caught me in a bad time." Spidey responds as he punches a nearby soldier unconscious before taking his blaster and starts firing on incoming soldiers. "You don't happen to have some web shooters on you, do you?"
"When Karen called, I just knew you might need some." Amora replies as she tosses a new pair of web shooters for Peter before creating a dome barrier around her as the Hydra soldiers start firing at her. She then has the barrier absorbs the energy from their weapons as they had just stopped firing to reload. As they do, Amora uses the energy absorbed barrier by condensing it into a ball in her hand before throwing it at the Hydra agents. With the condensed energy bursting all at once, it releases enough power to completely reduce the agents into bones.
As this happened, Spidey has clung to a wall using his two feet while installing his web shooters back on his wrists. "Next time, I'm bringing you with me on these kinds of missions." The Web Slinger quipped as he dodges a blaster fire before he webs up his assailant straight onto a wall.
When more soldiers come in, Spidey looks around and scans the room to see what he can do. He spots some metal tables, some liquid nitrogen tanks, a few unconscious soldiers and a couple of propane tanks in this lab. Memorizing each and every one of them, the arachnid hero jumps into the air and fires webbing all over the area, making sure he hits the objects he had spotted earlier.
With his superhuman strength, Spidey then pulls all these objects at once and, with the soldiers in the middle, he makes the objects all hit his foes as they explode, hit, freeze and knock away everyone.
As the battle rages on, with Queen Marvel blasting more and more soldiers as Spidey webs some stragglers up, Crossbones finally woke up and opens his eyes just in time to see his men getting curb stomped. He looks at the metal pod from earlier and stands up before walking towards it, taking out a pistol from a dead soldier he passes by while he's at it. Upon coming close to it, the pod suddenly projects a holographic hand scanner for him, which he uses, placing his open palm upon it before it scans his biometrics.
However, just the small noise of the scanner caught the heroes' attention as they turn around to see the villain as the pod's doors are slowly opening while all the steam inside it is finally released instead of simply seeping out like a while ago. Just as Crossbones turns around to shoot at his enemies, Amora was faster as she had used her magic to telekinetically lift nearby metal pole with one of its ends broken and gave itself a pointed tip.
The Asgardian then uses the pole as a spear by throwing it at Crossbones...
...and hits the villain right in his chest, through his heart. Not only has the tip torn through from his chest and to his back, but it has also embedded itself into the wall behind Crossbones, making him dangle on the pole like a skewered fish.
His blood leaking out from his fatal injury as well as from his mouth, Crossbones drew his last breath with a laugh and one last mocking words to his foes, saying, "Know that Hydra's greatest weapon is what shall destroy you..."
After limping, Crossbones finally died...
...and the pod's doors are torn apart by whatever's inside it, which uses it's fists to break itself free. As the dark figure reveals itself while rises from it's old prison, the two heroes back away in fear, taking a few steps back.
Standing ten feet tall, topless and showing of his muscular build, grey pants, a lot of wires and tubes sticking out of his body like some demented Frankenstein's monster, completely red skin, swollen muscles and nerves... and a bald head with markings on it with a face resembling a Skull...
What once was a man, an Asgardian, named Skurge, has been turned and corrupted into a monstrous beast by Hydra...
You may him... the Red Skull.
"Skurge?" Amora could only say as she stops stepping back and approaches her old accomplice out of pity. "What have they done to you?" She asked Red Skull, reaching out for him with her hand.
However, the sight of Enchantress only enraged Skurge as he roars like an inhuman animal and grabs her by her outstretched hand before lifting her up and smashing her onto the metal floor a few times before looking at her... and then slamming her into the floor again before throwing her at the wall behind him.
"Amora!" Peter yells out in worry before he growls angrily and fires a web at a tube sticking out of the back of Skurge's head. However, his attempt did not go unnoticed by the brainwashed and enhanced villain as Red Skull reaches behind the back of his head and holds onto Spidey's webbing before pulling him over his head and slamming him onto the ground. The monster followed this up by holding onto the web and spinning it above him, Spidey still in tow. Skurge then throws Spidey into a pile of empty canisters that all come crashing down on Peter like a bunch of knocked over milk bottles in a carnival.
Red Skull roars once more until Amora's fist hits him square on the face, making him stagger a few feet back. Queen Marvel did not stop there as she continues her barrage of punches onto Skurge's gut, sending a few more feet backwards with each hit before she clasps her hands together and uppercuts Red Skull with both fists together to knock him into the air. When gravity kicked in and Red Skull starts to fall, Amora fires a magical beam into Skurge before his body met the floor, sending him flying into a different metal wall.
"I'm guessing you're not happy to see me after I tried to kill you that one time?" Queen Marvel found the time to talk trash at her former accomplice before Skurge himself answers with a roar and breaks out of the metal wall he was beaten into. "I'll take that as a yes." Amora added with a scowl.
Just as Red Skull runs at the Asgardian witch in rage, a shot of webbing hit his face, simultaneously covering his eyes. Unable to see, Skurge almost tumbles until Spidey jumps onto his back and starts firing web after web on the enraged monster, sticking the strings onto every wall, panel and floor he could find behind them to restrain Skurge and keep him from moving.
"Now I know you can break through these..." Spidey quipped as he takes off the webbing on Skurge's face... just in time to open his eyes to see Amora with condensed magical energy in one fist. "But I wouldn't recommend it!" Peter added with small glee before firing a web and swings away.
Right on cue, Red Skull roars at the sight of Amora as he indeed breaks through the web restraints and even pulled some pieces of the metal walls and floors and even one, sparking panel of a broken mechanical device as he runs at Queen Marvel, dragging all the webbed-up debris behind him.
But he was too brainwashed to be a monster that he was dumb enough to let Amora finish charging, causing her to smirk as Red Skull got near. When he missed his punch when Amora ducked, the witch took this chance by upper cutting him into his chin with the magically charged fist of hers. The force of her punch was so intense, it created a visible shockwave comparable to a sonic boom, which actually made a crater beneath their feet as Skurge is sent flying once more.
Because of all the webbing on his back, Red Skull gets stuck onto the ceiling and he struggles to move. Because of his inflicted stupidity, the monster merely started smacking his hands onto the ceiling itself, but it does nothing. As Spidey joins Amora, they both stare at the predicament they got Skurge into, with the former putting his hands on his hips in amusement while the latter cups her chin in thought. "Should we get him down and finish him off?" Amora asks Peter.
"Wait for it..." Peter simply answered and, right on cue, the sparking panel stuck on Skurge's back explodes and sends him off the ceiling and straight up plummets into the ground. "There. He's back down. That wasn't so hard, was it, big guy?" Spidey quipped once more.
Just in time, Red Skull rises from the ground, injured from everything he's been through, yet still breathing heavily like a hungry bear ready to strike. However, when he roars one last time to intimidate his enemies, the heroes simply looked at each other before looking back at Skurge, with Amora throwing a magical orb into Red Skull's open mouth while Peter webs it shut. This confused the beast but had no time to process it as Queen Marvel merely snaps her fingers and makes the orb explode, and in the process, obliterates Skurge's head into a bloody mess, finally killing him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, kids of all ages I present to you..." Spidey gestured his hands towards Skurge's headless body like he was really speaking to an audience. "The Asgardian fountain! No camera flashes, please."
Amora giggled at Peter's joke before she suddenly turns him around by twirling her finger around to make him face her before lifting part of his mask enough to show his mouth and nose and suddenly, she kisses him straight on the lips wrapping her arms around him. Peter slowly melts into the kiss as he slowly places his hands on Amora's hips before finally enjoying their moment alone as he lets her push themselves down on the floor.
As every soldier around them is either dead or dying while some parts of the lab are already in flames, Amora sits atop a lying Peter as she takes off her eye mask and her green crown, giving Spidey the bedroom eyes.
"To any god listening... If this is how I die, I thank you..." Peter prayed jokingly as the Asgardian atop him takes off her cape before slowly reaching for her belt to undress...
...but before she could, her communicator rings and Amora prioritizes it first as she takes it out before answering it. "Ben? What's going o– Oh..." Amora spoke to Ben through their communicator as she closes her eyes in sorrow before adding, "I'll be there. Don't... Don't do anything reckless."
As she puts away her communicator, she puts her cape back on and leaves behind her crown and mask before standing up and creating a portal to use to travel. Spidey remains lying on the ground as he could only ask, "What happened to Ben?"
Amora simply stood in front of the portal she had conjured, motionless and devoid of happiness... She clenches her fists before facing Peter, no mask to cover the obvious sadness in her eyes as she replies...
"He saved the day."
And there you have it folks. Hope you all enjoyed it. Especially our little comic reference with Spideys and Ms Marvels brief little relationship. Don't know why those two couldn't make it work. I for one like them cause they kinda remind me of me and my main girl Q, ones goofy and the others a badass. Ill let you figure out which is which. XD.
Don't forget to send Just Q some nice words, since she did a majority of the work for this chapter. She loves writing as much as I do and shed really love the feedback.
Anyway hope this can tie you guys over until my next A10 chapter. Rest assured I will be finishing it. But first I need to complete my exams, so please be patient with me.
Until next time. CaptainRex75 Out!
