Chapter 07: A Fuzzy Situation
Alexander O'Hirn swallowed nervously as he waited in a room before Dr. Miles Warren or as he prefers, the Jackal. "So this is legit?"
"It is." Jackal promised with a smile. "Your partner Flint Marko is superpowered although he was jailed by Spider-Man despite it."
"If Marko can go through this then I can." O'Hirn said with a determined expression. "Anything to squash the bug."
"Oh that's what I was hoping to hear." Jackal said with a grin.

Things have been... Tense, for a better word, between Peter and the girls after the Sandman incident.
Sure he went behind their backs, but it's been two weeks now and they still haven't let it go.
Well, Miyako was acting friendly with him, leaving Peter to be grateful that she's trying.
Momoko was trying to see his point while telling him that he should've told the team that way they wouldn't be left in the dark.
Karou was just angry at him, no words needed to be said about that.
But the whole thing did help Prof. Utonium and Peter find a way to bond in making gear for him to be Spider-Man to the best of his abilities and even Ken participated in it for fun when they weren't studying Chemical Z.
Of course today, the girls were visiting the lab while Peter was finishing up touches on new versions of his Web Shooters, his uniform was in a trunk right now.
"So... Anything interesting lately?" Peter asked hoping to break the tension.
"You mean besides you going behind our back?" Karou asked not taking her eyes off the game.
"Geez, how many times do I have to apologize?" Peter muttered as he tightened the screws on the web shooter. "It's been two weeks already."
Karou went to make a retort when Poochie ran into the room barking. "Guys, I'm sensing Black Z-Rays coming from the Mountains."
"On New Townsville Peak?" Miyako asked curiously as Ken walked in followed by Professor Utonium.
"We should go investigate then." Prof. Utonium said with a nod. "After all it's better to be safe than sorry."
"I wonder what it is." Ken wondered as they left the room.
"Who knows, maybe it's a werewolf." Momoko said with a dreamy look.
Peter felt his eye twitch. "Please tell me you don't watch Twilight."

Now Peter was annoyed as he listened to Momoko, Miyako and Karou singing. "Going on a picnic, la-la-lalala." They were saying in perfect unison.
It didn't help that Prof. Utonium decided to pack a picnic basket, thinking that something like this would help Peter and the girls get over what happened with Sandman.
Thankfully, Ken spoke up. "We're not here to fool around." He said looking at the girls who were eating some snacks happily. "There could be a monster in these woods you know."
Chuckling, Prof. Utonium said. "Here's an idea, we work first, then go on a picnic."
"Okay!" The girls agreed happily before they began to sing again with Poochie putting in a word or two.
"Peter, sing with us." Miyako asked with a smile, trying to get him included as well.
"No thanks, I'm not a good singer." Peter said nicely when in reality, he didn't want to sing something like this.
"Who needs him to sing anyways." Karou retorted earning a glare from Peter.
Momoko looked between them and sighed. 'We really need to get these two to get along again.' She thought to herself.
But due to that, it was quiet in the car as everyone felt the tension between them.

Poochie sniffed the ground while Miyako was picking flowers, Karou climbed a tree to see farther and Momoko was trying to catch a butterfly with a net, while Peter leaned against a different tree watching the scene.
'Where the hell did Momoko get a net?' Peter thought in confusion because he sure as hell didn't see her pack one.
"It's over here!" Poochie said as he took off running.
"Poochie!" Ken turned towards the others to say something when a sound reached them.
"Do you hear that?" Momoko asked in amazement.
Miyako grinned. "Music!"
"Why is someone playing a Banjo out here?" Peter asked, recognizing the tone of the instrument.
"No clue, maybe it's a hillbilly?" Karou joked as she and Peter grinned before remembering their issues with one another and stubbornly turned away from each other.
"Let's find out." Prof. Utonium said, wanting these two to already make up instead of arguing.
"Follow that melody!" Momoko said as the girls ran towards the music.
"You would think that they would transform first." Peter said as he went to follow them when Prof. Utonium spoke to him.
"Can you please make up with Karou?"
"I'm trying." Peter said looking at him. "But she turns away every attempt I try."
"She is pretty stubborn, Dad." Ken agreed with Peter on that one before sighing. "But it is getting tiring listening to the snide remarks all the time."
"Just don't antagonize her with any jokes." Prof. Utonium pleaded, knowing that Peter was going to if she made another remark.
"I'll try." Peter muttered as they saw the girls in view talking with a-... "Is that a pink furred thing in blue overalls?" He asked in disbelief.
"That's just weird." Ken remarked.
"Ssh." Prof. Utonium told them. "The last thing we need is to antagonize someone with Black Z-Rays."
"True." Peter conceded as they walked up in time to hear.
"The name's Fuzzy Lumpkins-." It took all of Peter's willpower to not bust out laughing at the ridiculous name. "And this here is my land so, DON'T COME HERE WITHOUT MY SAY SO!" He roared scaring everyone.
"Keep it down." Momoko muttered as she rubbed her ears while Karou glared at Fuzzy.
"Your land?" Karou snorted. "I don't see your name here anywhere."
Ken got in between them. "Excuse me, Mr. Lumpkin's sir, let me explain." He said gaining the creature's attention. "You've been mutated by a radiation named Chemical Z that came in the form of a Black Z-Ray. But don't worry we have a plan, the Professor can help you change back to normal."
Fuzzy furrowed his brow. "I don't gets it."
The Professor pulled out the small machine that he used to turn the girls back to normal the first time and aimed it at Fuzzy, bathing him in a light of multiple colors.
"Them lights are purty, now get off my land." Fuzzy said with a chuckle.
"Uh why isn't it working?" Peter asked in concern. "Shouldn't he be changing back into-... Whoever he was before?"
"I don't know." Ken answered as Prof. Utonium turned the machine off and sighed.
"I was afraid this would happen." He said gaining everyone's attention. "His chemical structure is compatible with the transformation, there's nothing I can do. This change is permanent."
'Like how it could be for Mojo.' Peter thought as Fuzzy turned around to sit down.
"Now get off my property."
"Listen you fuzzball!" Karou went to charge at him as Momoko held her back. "You don't own anything-."
"Karou, listen." Prof. Utonium said getting her attention while Fuzzy began playing his banjo again. "I think we're dealing with a territorial creature, as long as we stay away from his land, I don't think he'll cause any problems."
"He seems quite peaceful." Ken remarked as they left.
"So what that's it?" Karou snorted. "What a boring monster."
"It is a nice change." Peter said with a smile. "After all it could've been a lot worse."
"I guess there's nothing for us to do." Momoko said with a shrug before she gasped.
Miyako caught on. "And that means."
Karou grinned widely as the girls jumped into the air. "It's picnic time, let's go!"
"Picnic!" Poochie barked in agreement.

Peter laughed with everyone as they got the food out. "Oh man this is great!" He said biting into a Hot Dog.
"It is isn't it?" Momoko agreed with a smile.
"I love the fresh air." Miyako said putting a sandwich for herself together.
"And the scenery is nice." Karou said to Miyako.
Ken gave a nod as he began to eat. "I'm just glad that this ended peacefully."
"And I'll catch my dinner." Prof. Utonium stated holding up a fishing rod as they laughed, not noticing a fuzzy pink creature moving in the background behind them.
Peter went to bite an apple, when he paused as a familiar tingling sensation caused him to blink.
"Peter?" Momoko asked before Peter spun around and caught an arrow in midair. "Wha?"
"HEY!" Peter glared as he saw Fuzzy with a bow. "WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA PINKY?!"
"This here's my land." Fuzzy said, trying to hide his surprise at how Peter caught the arrow, even if he was aiming for the apple.
"Someone needs to teach this guy some manners." Karou said forgetting her anger at Peter over him nearly being impaled by an arrow.
"Look." Momoko said trying to be peaceful as she glared at the pink guy. "You can't go claiming the whole forest as your property."
"Can't y'all read the sign?" Fuzzy asked causing everyone to look confused.
"There's no sign!" Momoko said with her fists clenched.
"Yeah, show us you hairy fuzzball." Karou said as Fuzzy lifted an arm up before slamming his palm into a tree trunk to leave a handprint causing the ground to shake as the tree cracked.
"See that? That there marks my property." Fuzzy told them causing Momoko and Karou to go off.
"As if, you just put that there!"
Ken got in front of them looking nervous. "Cool it, he's a pretty big guy, so I don't think we want any trouble!"
"I've seen bigger." Peter remarked remembering the time he saw the Hulk.
"Alright, if we can't stay here then I suggest we go to the lake." Prof. Utonium said as Fuzzy left.
But as everyone went to follow Prof. Utonium, Peter looked back to where Fuzzy disappeared to. 'Something tells me this is going to get worse.'

"I got one!" Peter pulled on his fishing line as Prof. Utonium did the same. 'Man I haven't gone fishing since Uncle Ben took me camping when I was seven.' He thought nostagically.
"I got a net." Karou said before pausing as she realized she just talked to Peter, but then she shrugged not caring anymore.
'This really helped them.' Prof. Utonium thought with a smile as Miyako helped him with his fish.
"We're eating well tonight." Ken stated before Peter turned to see a reed heading for them.
"Hold that thought." Peter said as he picked up a rock he decided to take with them for something like this and threw it with all his strength, causing the reed to snap and a few seconds later, Fuzzy shot out of the water trying to breathe and cough out water. "Figured as much."
"T-This here's my lake!" Fuzzy coughed out.
"So where's the sign?" Momoko asked sarcastically.
Fuzzy pointed down and they looked to see that he made a handprint underwater.

"Man I can't belive that guy." Karou muttered as they were all driving back to the lab. "Owning a public lake and forest? I should've just punched him."
"I'm with you on that one." Peter agreed with a nod before his eyes widened. "Oh come on."
Outside the lab and on some of the cars were the same handprints that Fuzzy used.
"This is getting out of control." Momoko said with a glare before looking at Miyako and Karou. "Come on girls, transform."
They didn't even bother with their battlecry as they pressed their belts.
"Go, I'll catch up!" Peter said as he ran in and pulled out his new suit.
It was a lot bulkier than what he was used to, but it definately had more protection than simple spandex would.

By the time the girls found Fuzzy he was terrorizing people in a park with a bench over his head. "GET OFF MY PROPERTY!"
"Hold it!" Blossom said with a glare. "You attack New Townsville and you deal with us."
"And we have a score to settle with you!" Buttercup said with a smirk.
Bubble gave a nod. "So put down the bench-."
Fuzzy threw the bench and it smacked right into Bubbles and sent her flying into a building.
"Whoa." Buttercup looked shocked. "He's strong."
"Bubbles, you alright?" Blossom called as Fuzzy ripped a tree out.
"Yeah." Bubbles answered flying back to them.
"GET OUT-!" Fuzzy roared before Blossom shot heat vision at the tree causing it to combust and burn his hands. "Gah!"
Bubbles flew forward and shot out her sonic scream, pushing Fuzzy back a bit before Buttercup charged in with her fist back.
"Take this-." Buttercup said as she launched her fist only for Fuzzy to grab it easily. "Hey, let go-."
Fuzzy spun her around rapidly before slamming her into the ground causing a small crater.
"Ow." Buttercup muttered.
"I warned you rto get off my land." Fuzzy said as he raised his foot to stomp on her only to stop as he heard a sound.
Thwip!
"Wha?" Fuzzy was confused as a strand of webbing snagged his foot before he was kicked in the face by Spider-Man.
"Hey Pinky, sorry I'm late but you know how traffic can be." Spider-Man mocked as he shot a strand of webbing at Fuzzy's eyes. "Now be a good monster and stay down-."
Rip.
Spider-Man stared at how Fuzzy ripped his webbing in half and he made that batch enough to give the Hulk trouble.
'Oh shit.' Spider-Man thought before Fuzzy came at him and his Spider-Sense was screaming at him to move, quickly.
"Girls I think this guy is one of the few who can take the Hulk on." Spider-Man shouted as he jumped over Fuzzy and landed on his back.
"What?!" Blossom asked in shock while Bubbles flew down to help Buttercup up.
"This is mine!" Fuzzy started to jump around with Spider-Man barely hanging on his back.
Bam!
"WHOA!"
"Mine!"
Slam!
"STOP!"
"Mine!"
Bang!
"I'M SERIOUS!"
"All mine!"
Bam!
"DAMN FUZZBALL!"
"We need to help Spider-Man." Blossom said as she took off with the other two behind her.

Spider-Man gritted his teeth as he hung onto Fuzzy. "Alright either you stop or I web you to the ground-." He was cut off as Fuzzy slammed back into a building nearly crushing Spider-Man.
'If I wore the original suit I would either be dead or crippled by now.' Spider-Man thought in pain before Fuzzy slammed his hand into Spider-Man's armor. causing it to dent and push into him. "GAH!"
"My property and you're not welcomed on it." Fuzzy stated as he slammed his hand against the chest again causing a crack to appear on the armor.

"Man for a big guy he moves fast." Blossome muttered as they looked around for them.
"At least he leaves a pretty big trail." Buttercup pointed out before Bubbles gasped.
"PETER!"
They looked to see Fuzzy repeatedly slamming his palm into Peter's suit before the chest ripped off to show his skin and he reared is palm back again.
"If that hits, he'll die!" Buttercup realized before she shot forward.

"Now get off my land!" Fuzzy shot his hand forward as Spider-Man closed his eyes in pain.
'I guess this is it.' He thought before he realized that the blow didn't connect and he opened his eyes to see Buttercup holding the palm back.
"Let go!" Fuzzy snarled in anger.
Buttercup glared at him with the same amount of anger. "Nobody hurts my friends." She said, not noticing electricity beginning to spark off her hands until Fuzzy began to spaz out as electricity swarmed hm. "Huh?"
"What happened?" Bubbles asked before Blossom spoke up.
"Worry about that later!" She said as she shot her heat vision at Fuzzy's back causing him to howl in pain. "Now Bubbles!"
"GO AWAY!" Bubbles screached and her sonic attack sent Fuzzy flying through the air.
"Nice." Blossom commented before they flew down to see Buttercup still looking at her hand. "Are you alright?"
"I-I think I got my special power!" Buttercup said with a smile as she focused and small arcs of electricity travelled through her fingers. "I can harness electricity."
"That's really cool." Bubbles told her before her eyes widened. "Peter are you alright?!"
Buttercup and Blossom stopped as they realized they forgot about him.
"Yeah I'm fine-." Spider-Man went to get up only to stop and grab his chest. "Gah, why do they always go for the ribs?!"

Peter winced as he was bandaged up again. "That armor hasn't even been worn for an hour and it's practically destroyed." Prof. Utonium said in disbelief.
"I'm just grateful it kept me alive long enough for the girls to show up." Peter remarked before wincing again as he looked at Karou. "Thank you for that."
"No problem." Karou said before looking away.
"Are we cool?" Peter asked hoping for her to stop being angry.
"... Frosty." Karou agreed with a nod. "But if you pull a stunt like what you did with Sandman again, I'll make what Fuzzy did look like a vacation."
Peter swallowed nervously as Momoko spoke up. "At least you two are friendly again." She said with a smile.
Miyako nodded in agreement. "I think this calls for a celebration-."
"Actually what Peter needs is rest." Ken spoke up as Prof. Utonium gave a nod.
"And no being Spider-Man until those ribs are healed."
"Got it." Peter agreed since he could barely move without clenching his teeth in pain. "But we can still eat fish tonight right?"
Prof. Utonium chuckled. "Sure."
"Yes!" Poochie barked in happiness causing everyone to laugh. "Fish! Fish!"

O'Hirn groaned as he woke up in pain. "Did it work?" He muttered seeing the Jackal in front of him.
Jackal gave him a once over before nodding. "It worked, you are now superhuman." He said showing a mirror and O'Hirn saw himself in a Rhino Suit covering every part of his body except for the face.
"Wha? WHAT IS WITH THE SUIT?!" O'Hirn shouted in anger before Jackal gave him a look, not at all intimidated by him.
"It's a prototype armor that is bullet proof, fire proof, it can't be cracked or destroyed while giving you strength to go up against the big guns of these 'Heroes'." Jackal explained causing O'Hirn to think about it. "So anything else?"
"Can I leave?"
"You need to get used to the suit first." Jackal told him. "Just give it a day or two before you can move around without pain."
"But I want to squash the bug now!" O'Hirn protested causing Jackal to chuckle.
"Oh don't worry Rhino." He said naming the new villain. "You'll get the chance soon enough."
To Be Continued...
Alright I know it's been awhile and I apologize, so I won't waste any time and get to the reviews.
NightMaster000: Again, sorry mixing the poll results up and sorry about taking so damn long with this. Fuzzy was hard to type and I wanted to make his character one of the heavy hitters. As for how long? They'll find out soon. And I'll do an original chapter with Peter healing up from this.
Codeblue: 1) Well I had a prototype suit for Peter and it saved his life in this chapter, but it wasn't prepared to handle Fuzzy's strength which is why Peter was stunned each time he was hit in the chest, unable to move. 2) Oh don't worry, Peter will save the girls and have a bunch of chances to outshine them in the future. 3) They will and Peter will help them out with that. 4) If I didn't bring Goblin in then it would not be a true Spider-Man crossover in my opinion. 5) I think I'll show some of that in the next chapter while Peter is recovering. 6) They will meet Madame Web and I may do an arc that have them meet 2099, Noir, Ultimate and/or Amazing. 7) Is this a trick question? Of course they will. :D
Oh and thanks for the ideas on Mimi, Bell and Nyx's appearances.
Kirbymaniac2: Sorry about that.
Mr. S the Weapons Master: Thanks, glad to hear it.
SuperPower5: Sorry for the wait.
Zeke Graystone: I hope this was good.
Oh and for everyone's patience here are a few previews of future chapters.

"Wha?" Spider-Man stared in shock at how this man who was dressed like a Samurai from the Feudal era easily took down Mojo's giant robot with a freaking sword as he calmly sheathed it. "Who are you?"
The man looked at him. "They call me Jack."

Peter was running to get to the Cafe on time before running straight into a teenager.
"My glasses!" The orange haired teen cried out.
"Sorry." Peter reached down and fumbled with them. "I didn't mean to do that."
"It's alright." The teen said as he put them back on and Peter's eyes widened.
"Haven't I seen you before?"
"Most likely." The teen held out a hand. "Dexter Boy Genius."
"Peter Parker."

"Peter, fight it!" Blossom shouted as Man-Spider lunged at her before Bubbles blasted him back with her scream.
"We don't want to fight you!" Bubbles said in worry.
Man-Spider roared ans shot webbing out of his mouth at them only for Buttercup to grab it and pull forward.
"But if we have to we'll take you down."

"HOW MANY PEOPLE DID YOU JUST KILL?!" Spider-Man held a man in a deranged Goblin outfit who was laughing wildly as a building fell over in flames ahead of them.
"Oh that?" He asked with a big grin. "That was just an empty building I blew up to get your attention." Then he held up another switch. "This however is built in to activate the bombs I got place in City Hall, the Preschool and the Utonium Lab where your Uncle is, Parker."
Spider-Man stiffened up. "What?"
"Oh yes." Goblin said with a laugh. "I know exactly who you are."

"Can I keep him?" Bubbles asked holding a purple dog with black spots while Poochie was sniffing him.
"I smell White Z-Ray's on him." Poochie said causing Peter to approach the dog who smiled a bit nervously to show a big hole in one tooth.
Looking at the collar, Peter blinked in surprise. "Courage? Weird name for a dog."

"Where are we?" A kid that looked like a skeleton in a grey hoodie asked as he looked at a red skinned girl with two lobster claws for hands, who shrugged.
"This is just perfect." The kid's hoodie spoke up as an eye showed on the hood. "No idea where we are and your Mom is probably going to kill us."
"Oh shut up." The Kid retorted.

"We don't need anyone!" Spider-Man hissed in anger as the girls were trying to restrain him.
"We?" Blossom asked straining for once on him. "Spider-Man, who's we?"
All right that's enough of the previews. Some of them may change as I write the story but I think I left enough for people to be curious on what will happen.
Spidey out.
