The Missing Identity
First rule of Spider Fight Club: Do not talk about Spider Fight Club.
The second rule? Don't get skewered by the spider that can shoot out daggers from his forearms.
Well my life has gone down the highway to...
"HELLO!" I yelled, avoiding another dagger from the self-proclaimed Razorfang. His spider ensemble reminded me of Agent Venom with his black and white designs. His eyeholes were silver and he had spiderwebs underneath his armpits. He glided from the top of the building he was standing on and shot more web daggers at me. I jumped to the side, ignoring the pain coming from my left. I was going to get killed trying to save the city! Growling, I jumped right at him and planted a firm side-kick to his head. He grunted, falling backwards from the blow. I smirked, all those years doing Taekwondo were really paying off.
So that guy I just kicked was called Razorfang. He's sort of a spider mutant that has a problem sticking his nose into other people's business, literally and figuratively. He can generate spikes from his body and shoot them out like a porcupine. That and he can make those stupid daggers from his webs.
"I could use a little help over here Silk!" I shouted to my new friend/companion, dodging more of those poison spikes. "Porcupine Spider over here is getting miffed!"
"Kinda busy over here with the other two menaces!" She replied, ducking her head to avoid an electric web. "Static Spider really has me on the ropes here."
"Really? Who the heck named these rejects anyway?" I commented, thinking about how silly the names sounded. "Porcupine and Electro's sibling are driving me nuts!"
"Come back here, you pest!" Silk jumped near me to avoid the electric ball hurling at her. The spider that was chasing her looked to be around Kid Arachnid's age. The costume he wore was white and yellow, the eyeholes were full of blue static. The spider insignia kept flashing white as his body kept sparking.
Static Spider; part human, part lightbulb. I would say I was shocked to find him actually sparking from all directions. Silk explained briefly that he was the product of spider formula sped up by electricity. When injected, he turned into a lightning spider! That sounds stupid to me as it should to you.
"Wait a minute, that's only two of them. What happened to..."
I was cut short as we were knocked off our feet by a slithering shadow. I groaned, feeling the impact of the attack.
"Yeah...definitely going to be sore after that one." I grunted, getting back on my feet. Silk followed suit, clutching her arm.
"At this rate, we're going to be outnumbered, and also outclassed." She said, her eyes narrowing.
The shadow manifested itself in front of us, taking form in a curvaceous female. Her whole suit was just black, the only thing not black was her spider symbol and her eyeholes which were both purple. Where hair was supposed to be, tentacle-like shadow hair came out instead.
Shadow Spider, talk about not being what you seem. She can jump into the shadows, control your shadow, and summon shadows from somewhere. Other than that, I find her outfit the coolest and her webs can go right through you! It's kinda cool, but super creepy as well.
"Just save us the trouble and let us take you back to Arachnophobia now." Her eyeholes shrunk into a glare. "Would be a shame if we started to take limbs now, would it?"
"No way! You can't have Silk and you can't have me either." I yelled, my webs getting sharper by the second.
"Why are you guys doing this? The organization is nothing,but pain and despair. All they want to do is experiment on you and use you as weapons of mass destruction." Silk said, trying to reason with her "siblings". "Are you too blond to see through their ruse?"
"What if we like what they did to us?" Static said, his hands crackling with electricity. "What if we just want the power to use for ourselves?"
"I for one think that this joint did us better than we thought." Razorfang said, retracting his spikes. "I get to pound the heck out of people and stab right through them. A slit in the neck at the right point can get the blood to run out."
"That's terrible! You enjoy killing people and have no remorse for it?" Clenching my jaw, my webs started to turn more dangerous. "How can you enjoy killing a person? Don't you even care about the value of human life?"
"Why would you care? You're like us." Shadow said, looking intently at me. "Your a byproduct of a experiment with spider data, but yours far surpass any of ours. In fact, you look like a mixture of many different things all at once."
Wait a minute...what does she mean by "different things"? I thought I was just injected with spider DNA and some of that symbiote stuff. Did that twisted octopus place something else in me?
"Crimson don't let her fool you! Yes you are an experiment, but you are nothing like them." Silk's voice cried out desperately. "You are unique!"
"Wha-? I-I-I'm what?" I said, still shocked that she knew I was different. How could this company have known about her? She was just made this morning!
I was distracted so much that I didn't even notice the next attack coming. Shadow grinned as she charged forward, punching me deep in the stomach. I gasped, the wind and air knocked out of me. Static sent out a wave of electricity at me, shocking me deep within the bones. I screamed in agony, the electricity coursing through my body. Silk tried to help me, but she was pinned to the ground by RazorFang. She struggled in her bonds, but was shocked to submission by Static as well.
My vision started fade as I heard the spiders around us cackle deeply. I felt Shadow lean over and whisper something in my ear.
"I hope you're ready to meet the rest of us very soon."
