Chapter 26: Act IV.3 Will of Infinity (Part 3)
-Earlier-
Ero was expecting to see a lot of things as she ran through the streets, but she wasn't expecting was to see a SHIELD agent getting jumped by two thugs.
*Click*
"Wrong time, wrong place dawg." Ero quirked an eyebrow as she glanced back to see a young man garbed in yellow aiming a gun at her. Before she could teach the young man a lesson, one of the thugs that were beating the agent quickly ran over and smacked him upside the head.
"Fool, use your eyes. She got a Spider on her. Remember what the boss said." The second gang member said as he pointed at her back. "She's cool." Now Ero was sure she had entered the twilight zone, mainly because she was positive that she had gotten this exact pair arrested before when she was Spider-Man. Taking one more moment to blink owlishly, she quickly continued down the street. First thing on her agenda was to find Cammy and if Adriana's directions were correct, she knew just where to find her…
-Moments later: Abandoned Church-
Ero opened the old doors and smiled when she saw Cammy sitting down near the podium. The other blonde's eyes widened when she saw her.
"Ero-"
! Spider-Sense!
Ero ducked just in time to avoid being drop kicked by black garbed figure.
"What the hell!?" Ero thought incredulously as she raised her forearm just in time to black a kick from the man. Ero idly noted that he kind of looked like Spider-Man as she expertly blocked more of his blows. Ducking under a roundhouse kick, Ero leapt up to the ceiling and released her stingers before blasting off towards him. The man said nothing as he released his own stinger's and parried her stingers.
"Spider-Man, stop!" Cammy shouted as the two growled and leapt back from each other. "She's on our side!"
"Spider-Man?" Ero questioned in shock as the man pulled off his mask to reveal someone that looked exactly like Peter, though his expression was a lot colder than her Peter's. Unlike her Peter, this one had been darkened by the harshness of life.
"We're all on the same side Ero. We want to see this fight end." Cammy reassured. "Now why are you looking for me? I can no longer hear Adriana's voice."
"She won't be controlling you anymore; she's kind of preoccupied at the moment." Ero said before placing both of her hands on the fighter's shoulders. "Listen I was looking for you because I need you to do me a big favor…" Cammy widened her eyes in shock as Ero explained what the favor was.
"I…I don't know if I can do that." Cammy explained making Ero sigh.
"I understand completely, but I'm still asking."
"We should wait here for another half hour or so." Spider-Man said as he pointed into a dark corner where they could see the struggling cocooned form of Nick Fury that he brought with him. "Once his son gets control of SHIELD it'll be safer for us to walk the streets." Ero saw his reasoning and sat down before looking back at Cammy.
"Just...just think about it okay?" Ero questioned as Cammy looked down.
-Across town-
Natasha widened her eyes when she saw random splashes in front of her as she ran through the streets of New York with Bucky.
"Silver?" Natasha called out confusing the Winter Solder greatly.
"What?" Bucky asked puzzled as the splashes stopped. He watched in shock as a silver haired woman suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of them. "Now that's useful…"
"You're free? I was just on my way to retrieve you." Silver said as she panted tiredly. She really had no idea how long she was running after she left the shelter she had found the previous night.
"I helped her out." Bucky answered getting a suspicious stare from Silver when she realized who he was. "Don't worry; I'm on your side." Bucky said as he raised his hands in front of him defensively.
"It's true, he's an ally." Black Widow vouched making Silver sigh in relief.
"Good, because that is one thing we are in sore need of. I called Viper for back up. She obviously can't bring an army but she did rally the Black Ops Division." Silver explained. "There may not be many but they are our elite soldiers."
"Let's regroup with Mary Jane then." Natasha said getting a nod from Silver and Bucky. "Robyn do you know where Mary Jane is?"
["She is with Ms. Adriana; I can give you the directions to their location now!"]
"Do it." Natasha replied. "Let's go."
-Statue of Liberty-
Anansi sat on the building's arm as Jessica stood next to him.
"I can finally see the ending…" Jessica began making him chuckle.
"And?" Anansi inquired as he could see her expression soften.
"You are one insane son of a bitch. You realize that if those two entities fight, existence can be lost in the crossfire, right?" Jessica deadpanned.
"But it won't." Anansi said knowingly. "Thanks to the 'illuminati' all but the time gem were shattered when Captain used them to move an entire universe so it wouldn't collide with ours. I gathered the broken fragments of each gem and used the time gem to restore them-they can't be destroyed by each other but they can be helped-however because of that they were only at a fraction of their power and the time gem was incredibly weakened from repairing them. I fused them with the seventh gem, but even then they were weak." (LIAG Helpful Info: The seventh gem, known as the Ego gem, contains the consciousness of the being that split into the infinity gems. This gem was gold colored and was scattered to Earth-93060)
"So that's why you chose them." Jessica muttered. "The gems were created by loneliness, but each of its bearers now has the power of true love caused either directly or indirectly by Spider-Man."
"It's the strongest force in existence, without them bonding with the gems; they would be little more than slightly powerful rocks." Anansi explained making Jessica shake her head.
"No, there's more to it than that. You've effectively turned each one of those women into a gem. Spider-Man, even long before now, has always gained strength from his strongest bonds unconsciously. It's how he defeated Firelord. He has no idea exactly how hard he was hitting the herald." Jessica said as she shook her head. "If each gem completely bonds with its host…you would have effectively turned Peter into an Infinity Gauntlet."
"I wonder... how long it will take him to understand his true power?" Anansi mused. "The power of those gems depends on how much knowledge their user has of them. Their effect could be could be nearly unnoticeable."
"Like preventing a Vampire lord from using over half of their powers in a fight?" Jessica said knowingly making him smirk.
"Or blatantly obvious, like turning said vampire into a human." Anansi chuckled. "It feels good to be able to relax, minus a few words of wisdom from Taran's sacrifice. My role is done."
"Rest up, you deserve it." Jessica said before disappearing leaving a chuckling Anansi behind.
-MJ's Mindscape: Inside the Witchblade-
"You're almost ready; I shall be your last instructor." A woman that looked exactly like MJ said, though she was an inch shorter. MJ raised an eyebrow as she realized that the young woman was wearing a golden version of her Witchblade. The woman had two golden horns on her head and her demonic wings were actually quite angelic, they were gold with white feathers.
"Why is your armor so different?" MJ questioned in confusion as she had to look away before she was blinded by the light radiating off of her.
"You shall find out one day in the future." The woman said as she held Sonja's Hyrkanian blade tightly in her hand. "It's time I taught you how to use this blade, it's necessary to vanquish evil. Now, prepare yourself mother!" The woman shouted as she blasted forward shocking MJ to her core. (LIAG Fun Fact: Once there was a fallen Angel that rendered the Witchblade useless and the only thing that could stop him was Sonja's enchanted blade.)
*CLANG!*
"The only thing that can make this blade's true power come out is the power of vengeance!" The woman roared as the blade began to cut through MJ's blade.
"She's…she's strong!"
-Meanwhile: With Jubilee and Kiden-
"Now!" Jubilee shouted as she released a large orb of energy. Kiden disappeared in flash as the attack blasted straight into the monstrous Laura. The flash of red from the explosion completely blinded them.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*
-With Anansi-
"An admirable attempt, but it isn't either of you that can calm that beast." Anansi thought as he watched the crimson dome of energy grow in size as it decimated more and more of the city the bigger it got.
-Moments later-
"H-holy shit." Kiden muttered in shock as she reappeared with Jubilee in her arms when the explosion died down. "Wasn't that a bit overkill?" Kiden questioned in shock as Jubilee shook her head.
"I doubt a nuke could kill Laura." Jubilee panted tiredly. "I was going for knocking her out." Jubilee muttered as she looked at the large crater that was now filled with water. "Thank you for the save Kiden, I probably would have killed myself with that explosion."
"You're welcome, but…how do you know my name?" Kiden questioned sounding perplexed as she helped Jubilee stand up.
"You've missed a lot since your coma." Jubilee sighed. "The world almost ended a few times, Laura and her team became celebrities, and oh you were in a movie that was about her origin."
"The hell?" Kiden blinked in shock. "Someone actually played me in a movie? I'm scared to ask…but who was it?"
"Sasha Pieterse." Jubilee shrugged making Kiden sigh.
"Thank God, I thought I got Chun-Li'd for a second." Kiden said making Jubilee smirk tiredly before narrowing her eyes as she saw bubbles forming in the water.
"Get ready; we're not finished yet-damn!" Jubilee muttered as she fell to a knee and stabbed her blade into the ground. "That took more out of me than I thought; I'm not used to using my powers on such a large scale." Jubilee explained tiredly as Laura burst from the water. Jubilee growled and struggled to her feet.
"Hey don't push yourself! We can figure something out-"
"No, I can't stop. I won't let her pain continue any longer." Jubilee said in determination as she limped forward as flames began dancing around the monster who roared wildly. It was then that Kiden widened her eyes as she finally figured out where she had heard Jubilee's voice from.
"You're Jubilee aren't you?" Kiden whispered with wide eyes before narrowing them and pushing the Vampire behind her. "Rest, I'll hold her off until you can figure something out."
"But-"
"Stop. If Laura killed you, there would be no putting her back together." Kiden said seriously as she glared at the monster while Jubilee looked up at her with wide eyes.
-Laura's mind-
"Two of your loved ones are already here for me to destroy; once even one of them is gone there will be no stopping me!" Reaper roared as Talon crossed her arms as she was burned by a torrent of fire.
"I don't care how strong you are, I won't let you!" Talon roared angrily as Selene looked on with a frown.
"I'm too weak to control this body and the longer they fight, the weaker their fragmented souls get. Without anyone to keep the souls I've consumed in check there will be nothing left but a legion of madness." Selene thought in despair. "I wanted to be a goddess, not an unstoppable monster…I have to figure out a way to end this. We're just lucky that Reaper doesn't know how to use all of my powers."
-Outside-
"Shit!" Kiden shouted as she barely dodge one of the Monster's talons only to come face to face with a black spike coming straight to her face faster than she could think.
"KIKOSHO!" Kiden watched in shock as the appendage was blown away by Chun-Li, who spun around and roundhouse kicked the monster with enough force in its stomach to send it flying back.
"You did well, I'll deal with this." Chun-Li muttered as she turned to face her team mate. Peter was alive and somehow Laura escaped Hell, she could still save her team from being destroyed. Her serious expression was reflected in the eye of an eagle that was circling the area as it prepared to watch the upcoming fight.
"Chun-Li get away! She has a powerful artifact known as an infinity gem! Kiden and I are safe, but you can be affected and we still have no idea what hers does!" Jubilee warned making Chun-Li glance back towards them.
"It's a risk I'll have to take. You two can't deliver enough damage." Chun-Li explained making the two younger women share a confused glance.
"And you can?" Jubilee asked skeptically.
"After the incident with her older self I realized that one day I would be too weak to stop her should something like that happen again, so I developed a move for the sole purpose of taking her down." Chun-Li revealed as a pink aura enveloped her body.
*RUMBLE*
Kiden and Jubilee looked down in shock as the ground shook and cracked as Chun-Li gritted her teeth and glared at the monster that used to be her team.
"Laura…I don't know if you can hear me." Chun-Li began as the aura began focusing and spiraling around her stomach. "But I will fix this, I promise you that."
-With Juri-
Juri snapped her head up in shock as she felt the massive spike of Chun-Li's chi.
"What the hell is going on?" Juri questioned in confusion. "The human body should not be able to produce that much chi by itself."
"What's happening? The catfight everyone has been waiting for since team Amazing formed is what's happening!" Deadpool exclaimed as he teleported into the area with Outlaw. "The ultimate battle between Chun-Li and Talon!"
"That doesn't explain how she's producing this much power!" Juri said sounding annoyed.
"She's turning her entire body into your eye." Deadpool explained make her blink in shock as she thought about her Feng Shui engine.
-With Chun-Li-
She's turning her body itself into a natural engine that generates far more chi than it should. She's only used it once before unknowingly against Akuma.
*CRASH*
*BOOOOOOM!*
BGM: I'll Face Myself –battle- Persona 4 OST
Chun-Li's ribbons exploded as she stood in a pillar of chi. Chun-Li stared at her hands and clenched them with a frown.
"I destroyed my body's limits…I have to end this quickly before my body destroys itself." Chun-Li said as she walked towards Laura, who released a paralyzing roar at the fighter that didn't deter her in the slightest. Chun-Li seemingly disappeared and reappeared with her fist jammed into Laura's stomach. Neither moved but when the fighter opened her fist, Laura was hit by a concussive blast of energy that sent her barreling down the street.
*SNICKT!*
Chun-Li tilted her head to the side to dodge the monster's talons just as Laura teleported in front of her. Using her momentum, she slammed her foot into the side to the side of Laura's face but frowned when the monster didn't budge at all. Frowning slightly, Chun-Li quickly lowered into a crouch and sweep kicked the monster's legs from underneath her before following up by standing up and ramming her need into the disoriented Laura's back. Chun-Li finished by placing a hand on Laura's stomach.
"CHOU-KIKOSHO!" Chun-Li shouted as she slammed the massive amount of chi into her teammate sending her crashing into the ground. Chun-Li leapt away as Laura exploded in a large fire ball. Chun-Li landed a few feet away in a crouch and looked up to see the black humanoid walking out of the flames as tendrils of darkness and fire danced around her. The figure screeched in rage as it charged Chun-Li who quickly dodged its tendrils while matching her blow per blow. Their blows could be heard echoing through the streets and every time they connected there would be a small shock wave.
"Just what the hell are we watching?" Kiden questioned incredulously. She could feel the force behind each attack.
"Amazing. It's like watching a storm." Jubilee muttered as Chun-Li tripped Laura and grabbed the feral's face tightly with her right hand before slamming into the ground with so much force that Kiden and Jubilee had to cover their eyes from the dust that was kicked up. From the cloud of dust they suddenly saw Chun-Li being knocked out of it. As Chun-Li sailed passed them she recovered with a flip and landed on her hands before flipping back to her feet and glaring at the cloud of dust. Chun-Li spit out some blood and wiped some from the corner of her mouth.
"RAHHHHHHHHHH!" With the monster's roar the dust dispersed and Laura stood snarling viciously.
-Talon's Mindscape-
"I won't be defeated." Reaper roared as she delivered a horizontal slash with her Muramasa blade across Talon's stomach, making the feral stumble back in pain as she held the mortal wound. Selene watched with wide eyes as Talon collapsed and slid down the hill of skulls. "You've lost give up." Reaper said before a cold smirk graced her lips. "Funny. Everyone you love will die because you can't accept your true nature!"
"I…is this it, did I really lose?" Talon thought as tears fell from her eyes as she gazed up at the cloudy sky. "I…I've failed."
-Outside-
Chun-Li glared at the screaming monster fiercely as she felt a sharp pain in her right arm. She gritted her teeth as a golden dragon head covered his fist as its long body twisted around her arm tightly. She closed her eyes as her power doubled while her chi burned bright white. The monster released another roared as it stood in a pillar of darkness that seemed to suck away all of the light in the area.
"[Laura's very soul has become unbalanced, if I can fix that I can fix her…" Chun-Li thought as she snapped her eyes open. She clenched her teeth in pain as her muscles spasmed painfully while her heart beat weakened. "Damn, I pushed myself too far…" Chun-Li thought in frustration, she steeled herself as she realized that this would be the last exchange.
One way or another.
The teammates stared at each other one encroached by darkness and the other baptized by light.
A silence.
Then they disappeared, and reappeared mere inches away from each other.
"Chou Ryu-Ken!" Chun-Li shouted as the dragon roared before shining brightly.
"Dark…Lance…" The monster growled out as it slammed its fist into Chun-Li's chest while Chun-Li mirrored its actions. A spear of darkness ripped through Chun-Li's chest and out her back. Chun-Li gritted her teeth as her arm exploded causing a golden Chinese dragon to rip through the monster's chest and out its back.
*BOOOOOOM*
Kiden and Jubilee had to shield their eyes from the intense light while Chun-Li softened her gaze and stared into the monster's eyes.
BGM: END
-Laura's Mindscape-
Talon stared at the sky lifelessly as she felt herself weaken. In the corner of her eyes she could see Reaper hold her head as dark energy slowly began to crawl over her while she kept a foot firmly planted on Selene's back. The souls of the absorbed mutants screamed in agony as Laura mind began to unravel.
"The Unbreakable Talon….my body may be indestructible….but in the end I still broke….in the end I am just a failed attempt to replicate a greater man…maybe it's better this way." Talon thought as she shut her eyes.
"[Why the hell are you lying down? Get up and stop her!]" A voice roared and she looked up to see the pink astral form of Chun-Li.
"C-Chun-Li?" Talon whispered with wide eyes as the woman helped her up.
"[You can end this Laura, but only if you want to.]" Chun-Li said softly making the feral shut her eyes tightly.
"She's too strong…" Talon said weakly as she looked at her insane counterpart.
"[But her heart is weak.]" Chun-Li said sagely. "[She'll always be your strongest opponent. You're her and she's you. No matter whom you are your worst enemy will always be yourself. It's the same for me, Peter, anyone.]"
"How….how do I defeat myself?" Laura questioned desperately with wide eyes making Chun-Li laugh despite the situation.
"[I thought you had figured it out once before, maybe you should take your own advice as it seems to have done wonders for Peter.]" Chun-Li said with a wink letting the clone know that she knew more about the specifics of the night when she and Peter became a couple than she let on. With that parting message, Chun-Li disappeared leaving a wide eyed Laura behind.
How do you defeat yourself?
The answer is quite obvious.
"You don't." Laura muttered as she had an epiphany. She narrowed her eyes and dashed back up the hill as Reaper screamed and glared back at her with burning eyes.
"You can't beat me!" Reaper roared as she held the sides of her head. A black spike shot from her stomach and went directly at Talon.
*SCHLICK!*
Talon winced as the spike ran straight through her chest but she didn't stop running towards Reaper.
"I can't stop…I won't…"
When Reaper widened her in confusion as strong arms grabbed her tightly.
BGM I'll Face Myself- Persona 4 OST
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Talon whispered into her ear as tears flowed down her cheeks.
"W-what?" Reaper questioned in shock.
"For the majority of my life, I have been nothing but a tool without either anyone to care for or who cared for me. I was treated and caged like an animal, but whenever my life was in danger you protected me. You protected me in the only way you knew how and I hated you for it." Talon said shakily as her body trembled. "You were the first person to look out for me and you were trapped in a cage worse than mine…I promised you freedom…and at the first chance I had, I ripped it away from you without a second thought because I was scared of just what I had become. My instincts had been used against me before, but never like that. I saw you as a weakness and tried to eradicate you."
"Why are you telling me this?" Reaper questioned as her body relaxed slightly in the embrace causing the spike to disappear.
"Because you have a right to be enraged." Talon answered sincerely. "You were betrayed by me and used by Selene even if your bond with her became more genuine than she intended. I'm telling you it is okay to hate, but hate the one's responsible…destroy the ones responsible. Leave the innocent out of it. Seek vengeance where vengeance is due." Talon said seriously. "I'm not deceiving you; I dug my own grave this time. Just promise not to waste your new found freedom. Live how you want to." Talon said passionately before closing her eyes as she waited for the final blow. She gasped when she found her embrace being returned.
"Don't you understand? I can't kill you!" Reaper shouted the tighter she held Talon the more of her memories that were erased by Selene returned. It was like she was squeezing water from a sponge. "I hate you; I hate you so much it hurts! I was finally free when we became one. I was happy and then you ripped it away from me! How dare you!? You had no right." Reaper shouted as she cried making Talon closes her eyes tighter.
"I know... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Talon apologized sincerely. Neither could tell how long they held each other before Selene shakily stood up. She gazed at the scene with a frown before gazing up at the sky as the clouds finally parted.
BGM: END
"In the end my plan failed but…for some reason it feels as though I succeeded." Selene thought to herself as she gazed at the two ferals. In the end she lost her powers and quite possibly the chance to ever been seen as a goddess. "I'm getting soft….weak."
….and to her shock she was alright with that.
But there was still another matter to worry about. Clearing her throat she managed to get their attention and was met with matching glares, though Reaper's was weaker.
"There needs to be someone in charge of the body before the souls run amok." Selene said making Talon frown as she kept an arm around Reaper. "You are both far too weak to handle the body's new found power. Soon it will go berserk and not like that petty temper tantrum either. It will be complete chaos." Selene began making them frown further.
"Then…then we'll merge again." Reaper spoke up after a moment making Talon turn to her in shock before she realized that she was the only one that had had a problem with merging.
A wave of guilt shot threw her, especially now that after she had experience being merged and realizing that it was nowhere near as bad as she thought it would have been.
"You two have exhausted your soul. Even if you become one again, you'd only have roughly two thirds of the strength of its former power." Selene explained patiently.
"So what? We're just supposed to let you take over my-our body?" Talon asked angrily making her shake her head.
"My time in Hell plus this experience has weakened my soul greatly, I only have roughly one third of the power necessary." Selene denied calmly.
"So what are you getting at? That those souls you absorbed are about to turn us into a monster." Talon asked with wide eyes.
"A merge, you want to merge with us don't you?" Reaper questioned quietly as she gazed at Selene. "Why?"
"Any fate-even having my very soul obliterated- is better than going back to Hell." Selene answered honestly as the two could see a slight amount of fear in her eyes. "Also…not everything between us was fake. I am willing to pay my mother's generosity forward for you, my child." Selene said seriously as Reaper widened her eyes slightly.
*Flash Back*
"So your mother sacrificed herself for you?" The feral questioned in confusion. "Is…is that normal?"
"Of course it is, a mother must do what's best for their child no matter how awful it may seem at the time. You'll find that out one day." Selene said before standing up. "Now I must go for now."
*Flash Back: End*
"I just never thought it would just be one damn day later." Selene sighed. "We don't have much time we all have some sort of control of the boy, though both of you have much more than me."
"No! Hell no, I refuse!" Talon shouted making Reaper turn to her.
"Do you want your loved ones to be destroyed?" Reaper questioned making Talon grit her teeth. "You'd die for them, this is much easier because you'll still live. Besides…you owe me." Reaper finished making the other feral flinch slightly before finally relenting. "What do we have to do mother?"
"We have to use the gem to merge us. If we do it ourselves there is too much of a chance that we'll fail. With the gem we'll have a higher chance of success but we all have to want it." Selene explained saying the last part while pointedly staring at Talon.
"Fine. Anything is better than letting anyone I care for die." Talon said as she closed her eyes. Reaper and Selene nodded at each other before closing their eyes."
-Outside-
As Jubilee and Kiden tried to recover from the final exchange, the blue ethereal form of Anansi walked toward the still form of the monster that had her hand pierced through a one-armed Chun-Li's chest. Anansi simply placed a finger to the gem causing it to glow for a second before the monster's dark shell shattered like glass leaving a nude Laura standing in its place. Anansi smiled to himself before fading away. The feral rapidly blinked her eyes as she tried to regain her bearings. Her green irises bled red before brightening into a very vibrant violet.
It was then that everything went downhill.
"Oh shit." Kiden cursed as she stared at the horrible sight in front of her before turning her head and shutting her eyes.
Talon stood in disbelief as she regained control over her body only to find her right arm stabbed through Chun-Li's chest as the bodies of fallen mutants surrounded them.
"O-Oh my G-god….." Jubilee stuttered in disbelief while tears poured from her eyes as she stared at the horrified form of her mate.
"C-Chun-Li W-what have I done?" Talon questioned with wide fearful eyes as her teammate smiled up at her as blood poured from her mouth.
"G-glad…t-to h-have…you back*Cough*" Chun-Li forced out before glancing down at her teammate's arm, which was ripped through her chest, with a grimace. Grunting, Chun-Li used her remaining arm to rip the limb out of her before stumbling back.
"Stop! You're making the damage worse, I can heal you." Talon said frantically only for Chun-Li to shake her head sadly before coughing up more blood.
"N-no…not even you can fix this one." Chun-Li said sadly before gazing up at the cloudy sky and widening her eyes in disbelief. "I-I actually s-see him…" Chun-Li whispered as she slowly swayed backwards. "F-father…"
*THUD*
Chun-Li died with a smile on her face.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Laura screamed in despair at her actions. The feral stumbled back and fell on her rear as she stared at her blood soaked hand in shock. The circling Eagle narrowed its eye before flying away.
-Meanwhile: MJ's mindscape-
BGM: United We Stand Divided We Fall- Two Steps From Hell
Sonja narrowed her eyes as the cocoon receded. From the metal Mj stood back up with her head bowed making Sonja clench her blades tightly. Two demonic yellow scimitars appeared in MJ's hands as she blasted forward.
*CLANG!*
Ice cold blue eyes met a pair of unwavering green as Sonja and Mary Jane glared at each other fiercely. MJ dropped her blades suddenly causing Sonja to lose her balance as Mj slipped passed her and kicked her foot back into the back of Sonja's knee. MJ spun on her heel and slammed her foot into the side of Sonja's head making the ancient warrior drop her Hyrkanian blade. A tendril of metal extended from MJ's armored hand and wrapped around the hilt of the blade while Sonja rolled forward and regained her footing.
*KRANG!*
Sonja barely spun around in time to block MJ's strike with the vibranium sword.
"She was after my sword?" Sonja wondered in confusion. She and MJ continued to clash swords viciously as Scathach looked on in interest. MJ matched her blow for blow in a way that was eerily familiar. "Where did she learn my style like this!? Her foot work is perfect!" Sonja thought in shock before both she and MJ flipped forward.
*SHING!*
When they both landed, both women spun around at the same time. Sonja and MJ threw three hunting knives and three black daggers, respectively, at each other. The blades knocked each other out of the air as the two women dashed at each other.
"The gem on her forehead, Peter explained it to me once. It can give her all the power she wants if she knew how it worked, but right now she's just using it to keep up with me." MJ thought as she ducked under a slash Sonja made with a battle axe. "This armor will match virtually any threat so in the end it just comes down to me and her."
"Eager to kill me now, are you?" Sonja taunted as she slashed at MJ in all directions, each swing barely missing its mark.
"We all have to go some time, like you said your era has ended. Let me send you to your next journey!" MJ shouted as she threw the Hyrkanian blade at Sonja who ducked under the weapon. MJ flew passed her and caught the sword in her left hand. She quickly spun on her heel and held it in a reverse grip as a demonic rapier appeared in her right hand. "Peter always protected me, and Sonja has fought for me…it's time I fought my own battles." Sonja was completely unprepared for the skill at which MJ handled the new weapon. The strikes were almost too quick for her to follow as small slashes began to appear on her body as MJ circled her while striking viciously.
"Her strength matches mine….but her speed…I can't keep up!" Sonja thought as a bead of sweat slid down her face.
"There!" MJ thought as she gritted her teeth and with a mighty step forward she drove her rapier through Sonja's shoulder, making the older woman drop her blade. Time seemed to slow for both women as MJ spun on her heel and grabbed Sonja's Hyrkanian blade tightly with both hands as a yellow aura enveloped the blade. Sonja widened her eyes in shock before a sense of pride surged through her.
"So this is goodbye?" Sonja questioned with a laugh even as tears fell from her eyes.
"No…" MJ denied as she stepped forward and aimed the blade at Sonja's chest.
*Flash Back*
"You have learned everything I could teach you mother." The red haired, blue eyed woman said as MJ looked at her sadly.
"Can you at least tell me your name?" MJ questioned making the younger woman bark out a laugh and grin at her.
"It's Sonja."
*Flash Back: End*
"…Its see you later." MJ said as she softened her gaze.
*SCHTIK!*
BGM: END
Blood splattered on MJ's face as she drove her blade through Sonja's chest. Sonja smiled as she dropped her weapon and gazed down into Mary Jane's face.
"Thank you for everything." Mary Jane said making Sonja shake her head.
"No, thank you for the experience." Sonja said with a smile on her face before she faded away.
-Outside-
"And so Empress Mary Jane stood with the crimson blood of Red Sonja on her face, a definite sign that Sonja's reign had finally been put on pause so that hers could begin. She was a woman that would one day become a goddess as her legend was told for centuries to come. She looked up with a smile on her face and promise that she wouldn't fail her beloved so that one day…years from now…Sonja's reign would begin anew with a much brighter beginning." Deadpool said passionately as he closed an old tome.
"The fuck are you reading?" Outlaw questioned in confusion as Deadpool threw the book behind him and in to a trash can that was miraculously still upright.
"Some book that comes out a few centuries from now. Disappointing read actually, there was no smoking girl on girl scenes anywhere in that book." Deadpool sighed. Adriana and Carol looked towards MJ when they saw her red gem shining brightly as her eyes opened. She stood up in the rain and silently stared into the sky as her blade was held limply in her hand.
"Now there are three. All allies, good sign so far." Carol said to herself.
"It better be, I plan on waking up tomorrow." Adriana said as she looked at her sleeping daughter.
-With Laura-
Jubilee created a blanket to cover her mate and tried to console her while Kiden looked on, frustrated at herself that there was no way she could help the situation.
"Damn… if I only I could do something-"
"But you can." A voice spoke up and she glanced to the side to see the blue ethereal form of Anansi standing with his arms crossed.
"Who the hell-better yet, what the hell are you talking about?" Kiden questioned in confusion making him sigh.
"Is this how your teachers felt?" The entity wondered to himself. "Child, I think you don't fully grasp your current power. You have complete control over time. You can do more than heal minor wounds. Don't fear what your power; fear what happens when you don't use it responsibly. You know what to do next. Also let Jubilation know that it isn't that the gems can't be used on each other, they can't be used on each other negatively." Anansi revealed before disappearing.
"I killed her…" Talon repeated shakily as she cried over her fallen friend. "I couldn't stop myself in time and killed her!"
"It'll be okay Laura, calm down. She wouldn't want to see you like this. You can get through this Laura." Jubilee tried to reassure the feral to no avail. Jubilee looked on in confusion as Kiden kneeled next to Chun-Li. Kiden took a steadying breath as she tried not to lose her lunch over the gruesome image before her. Kiden closed her eyes as her gem began to shine with power.
"Rewind." Jubilee watched in in disbelief as Chun-Li's wounds began to close up rapidly.
Her arm even grew back!
Talon looked on in shock though one could see a slight flash of hope flicker in her eyes. Kiden remained still for a few more moments before opening her eyes and removing her hands. Chun-Li stirred as she mumbled something while Talon covered her mouth with her hands. Chun-Li opened her eyes and sat up with a groan before looking around at her surroundings.
"[Son of a bitch…]" Chun-Li muttered to herself as she turned to Jubilee while Kiden smiled at her success. "Did I die?"
"I…I am afraid so, welcome back." Jubilee said with a tired smile.
"Kuso...I guess my move didn't work." Chun-Li sighed as she looked turned to Talon. "How did she return to normal?"
"Your move worked, you saved Laura. You just got hit by her attack too." Kiden explained gaining her attention while Talon bowed her head.
"That's nice. Let me guess, Laura feels guilty now?" Chun-Li deadpanned making Kiden nod her head. Sighing, Chun-Li stood up and went to kneel next to her team mate.
*SMACK!*
"That's for killing me." Chun-Li said simply as Talon held the side of her face and looked up at a smiling Chun-Li. "Come on, this is like the third time you've tried to kill me in some form since we've met. If you want to go on a guilt trip go ahead, but not now. Not when Peter still needs us." Chun-Li said firmly but with a soft expression as she held out a hand. "Besides, now I'm not the only member of this team who hasn't died; feels like some sort of rite of passage. Now let's go save our Spider." Chun-Li smiled. Talon remained silent before she nodded her head and grasped Chun-Li's hand with a tired smile of her own. "One thing though Laura."
"What?" Talon questioned as the older woman sighed.
"Put on some damn clothes." Chun-Li deadpanned as Talon looked down at her naked state while Kiden whistled.
"I'm on it." Jubilee said as she rubbed her hands and prepared to create some new equipment out of thin air. "I'll never have to go shopping again…" Jubilee thought with a dark smirk. The dark cackles that arose from Jubilee's mouth would haunt their dreams for nights to come.
-With Peter-
"So this is the key to getting your body back?" Johnny questioned as he held the golden Octobot carefully. "It's so weird that this can switch your body so easily." Johnny muttered before smirking as he turned to his Sister. "Hey sis, wanna try being me for a day once this is all over?" Johnny questioned making Sue roll her eyes.
"And end up burning everything around me or end up making out with Megan? No thank you." Sue deadpanned.
"Hey now, those are the best parts about being me!" Johnny defended making Peter laugh.
"I can definitely see the family resemblance. I bet you two were hilarious growing up." Peter laughed making both of them pout slightly.
"As much as I hate to ruin this lovely atmosphere, I believe it's time that I collect what's mine." A voice spoke up and they looked up to see an old man standing behind Peter with a sinister smile.
"Who the hell are you!?" Johnny demanded as he tossed the Octobot to Sue and quickly flamed on while Sue cast a barrier around Peter.
"I am a man with many ambitions and it's time I retrieve what was promised to me." Mephisto smirked as he turned into his demonic form and tapped the barrier causing it to shatter, before quickly grabbing Peter around his neck. "Do not fear for him, everyone will be joining him soon." Mephisto declared before smirking as he caught a fire ball from Johnny effortlessly. "Cute." Mephisto stated before increasing its power with hellfire and hurling it back at Johnny who was blasted out of the room. Sue placed a powerful barrier around him making him laugh before simply vanishing.
"Damn it!" Sue shouted as Johnny flew back into the room.
"This is not good." Johnny muttered angrily.
"Indeed it's not." A voice spoke up and they turned to see Julia leaning against a nearby wall. "It's time to go prepare for the final battle. Bring the Octobot with you." The siblings looked at each other in confusion before approaching her.
-With Mary Jane-
Carol looked up when Chun-Li, Kiden, Jubilee, and Talon entered the scene. Kiden was on top of some sort of glider and carrying Magik piggyback while Jubilee was flying with Chun-Li and Talon under each of her arms. Carol widened her eyes when she realized that three of them had the remaining Infinity Gems.
"Just how many of these gems did you say there were again?" Kiden questioned curiously.
"Six, I believe." Jubilee answered. "I still can't believe you're riding around on the Goblin's glider."
"Hey this thing is badass; all it needs is a paint job." Kiden defended making Talon shake her head at her friend's antics.
"I miss my bike." Talon sighed. She was now wearing an outfit that seemed like a mixture between her X-23 costume and Talon costume. That is to say she had the boots and gloves from her X-23 outfit but instead of a pair of tight leather pants she had a pair of tight leather low rider shorts that had a gold and red version of her belt around her hips. She was still wearing her bra from her Talon outfit though her fur coat was replaced by an open black sleeveless hoodie that had a fur lining, and the hoodie stopped an inch under her knees and had a large red 'X' on the back. Her make-up was the same and she still wore her choker. On her lower back was a sheathed Adamantium dagger that was strapped there horizontally.
"I'm sure you'll find it later." Kiden said with a chuckle. "Now I trust carol but those other two are allies right, because they all look like they can kick my ass."
"Don't worry; they're friends for the most part anyway." Jubilee said as they reached the heroes. When they landed Ero, Spider-Man Noir, and Cammy entered the area as well.
"What do you know, she's okay." Juri drawled when she saw Cammy. Mayday appeared with Andy, May, Miles, Anya, Ben, Jimmy, and the Avengers who were all bound by a golden web. Julia appeared with Johnny, Sue, and a now conscious Jean. Jessica was the last to enter the area with Nick Fury Jr., Hulk, and Red Hulk. It was at that time that both Natasha and her entourage and the X-Men arrived in the area with Emma. Before anyone could say anything the ground trembled.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*
Snapping their heads forward the heroes watched in shock as miles away a colossal pillar of fire shot up into the sky as the gigantic form of Mephisto appeared He spread a pair of large demonic crimson wings before releasing a roar that shook the entire city. In his hand they could barely make out the forms of Peter and Octavius.
"SOON. YOU WILL ALL TASTE MY TRUE POWER AND BOW BEFORE ME AS YOUR ONE AND ONLY GOD!" Mephisto boomed sinisterly before he opened his mouth widely and swallowed the two men. They could all only watch in horror at the sight. Mephisto roared as he was suddenly surrounded by a pillar of golden energy while golden web lines ripped from his back and seemed to extend behind him for a few feet before fading into thin air. Mephisto grinned as he was surrounded in a cocoon of light. His power could be felt across the entire globe.
"He…he ate them…" Carol whispered in shock.
"Remain calm. This conflict has caused the web's center to split in two. He is absorbing both halves as we speak they are very much still alive but by the end of the day they will die." Jessica explained as she floated in front of them. "We need to gather our allies and deal with Mephisto when he frees himself, we'll have a small window of time that will allow us to defeat him and return the web's power to Peter. We need to work together to stop him." Julia said as she turned to the Avengers. "If we don't…this universe-no-existence itself is doomed." Jessica said firmly.
"Those of you who have a gem." Julia began gaining their attention, mainly the six women in question. "Each of you has your own army to help out, except for Mary Jane who will be leading the unified forces." Julia explained making the red head frown slightly. "You five gather your forces now, we only have a couple of hours."
"Countless amounts of lives are at stake, put your feuds aside for now and help prepare to stop him." Jessica stated before turning back to the Avengers. "And one thing, if Mephisto needs both Octavius and Peter, then there is a good damn chance that his mind was switched." Jessica pointed out making them glance away before she released their bindings.
"Hey what the hell is going on!?" A voice shouted and she turned to see Kaine approaching with his team and Sandman.
"Someone fill him in, I'm not repeating that." Jessica deadpanned.
"Is that Sandman? Can we trust him?" Natasha questioned making Kaine nod.
"For now anyway, I made it blatantly obvious that helping a man whose plans almost killed his daughter once would be dumb as hell." Kaine revealed making Flint look away angrily.
"I'm not letting my baby get hurt, no matter what I gotta do." Flint said sincerely. Nick Jr. looked at him with an unreadable expression before turning away.
"Now get to it you five. Mary Jane, you wait for them to finish. After that you're calling the shots." Jessica said as she walked away to consult with the remaining Madame Webs.
"Our armies, huh?" Kiden mused as she lay Magik on her back making Talon frown as she thought of the millions of mutant souls inside her.
"Well, technically I am now a legion of one. I'll probably be fighting alone." Laura said before a surge of guilt hit her as she looked at Magik. "At least until she wakes up anyway."
"What do you mean?" Jubilee questioned with a frown.
"It's hazy, but what I did to her is unforgiveable even if she was the reason I was sent to H-Hell," Talon answered making Jubilee narrow her eyes slightly. Laura could talk about the most gruesome of her murders without stuttering. For her to have to force out Hell meant that things were more horrifying down there than she had anticipated. Indeed, Laura had survived Yomi but that was just a mere knock off when compared to some of the twisted things she had seen down there.
Swimming through oceans of boiling blood that were filled with demons, really changed your perspective on what was scary.
"Well you're not fighting alone; we'll definitely have your back." Rachel said as she approached them with the X-Men and Emma. Talon raised an eyebrow at Emma making the blonde sigh.
"I don't particularly have anything better to do." Emma said dryly making Talon nod.
"Where's Logan?" Talon questioned only to stop when she saw him appear out of thin air in front of Carol before crashing to his back. "Never mind."
"How that man became a headmaster of anything is beyond me." Emma muttered to herself.
"Hmph, fuck school." Kiden said bluntly making Talon roll her eyes. "Never did shit for me."
"That's because you never went." Talon pointed out. "To be honest with your mutation you probably would have ended up in the X-Men."
"And then I would have died." Kiden deadpanned. "In fact didn't a future version of me die anyway? Why the hell would I join?" Talon conceded that she did infact have a point.
"You're right; you look like you probably would have gotten yourself killed." Emma said dryly making Kiden nod sagely.
"See even this gold digging bitch agrees with me." Kiden pointed out making Emma scowl at her while the other female X-Men had to hide their grins…except for Storm, Rachel, and Kitty who just laughed outright. "Now hold on for a bit I gotta get back up."
"Wait that's right she said we all had armies…you have one?" Talon questioned making Kiden nod sheepishly. "Damn it…what did you do?" Talon groaned quietly as she felt a headache coming on. Her questioned was answered when a low rider entered the scene that had four Latin gang members inside of it.
"El Diablo!?" One of the men shouted incredulously. "[What is this shit? We didn't sign up for this shit! You crazy bitch!]" The man shouted in Spanish.
"Hey! I don't know what the hell you just said, but I'm sure it's something people don't get born over!" Kiden shouted back reminding them that she could infact control time. The men flinched slightly at her threat. She didn't want to use fear, but she wasn't opposed to it if it made her life easier.
"My brother said, that we didn't sign up for this." Another member said making her nod.
"And I understand that, but there's a good chance that no matter what happens now, nobody will wake up tomorrow. I don't know about you, but if I got one day left I'm making something out of it!" Kiden said making them glance at each other. "Besides…imagine the bragging rights you'll have for bringing down the devil. That has to be the greatest pick up line ever." Kiden smirked when she saw their eyes light up slightly. "Now go call the others and spread the word that they need to get down here in an hour. Also tell Tatiana to bring me that cane." The men nodded and drove off.
"Of course…you took this chance to become a gang leader." Talon sighed making Kiden laugh sheepishly.
"Not exactly…" Kiden trailed off vaguely before turning to Jubilee. "What about you? Where's your army."
"We're already here." A cold voice said and they turned to find Lilith and Blade leaving a dark alley that was filled with dozens of blazing red eyes.
"It's never been harder to repress my urge to kill every one of them." Blade mumbled making Lilith laugh.
"If your protégé is successful, you will need a new job, might as well get used to it now." Lilith pointed out. "Congratulations on learning how to send us messages from long distances, you'll be ready to rule in no time." Lilith said as both Kiden and Talon turned to gape at a sheepish Jubilee.
"What did you do?" Both members of Nyx questioned simultaneously.
"You're leading your own coven?" Talon continued with wide eyes.
"Not exactly…" Jubilee trailed off getting a knowing look from Kiden.
"If we live through this we definitely have to trade some stories." Kiden said seriously. As this was going on both Nick and Steve approached Carol.
"Captain Marvel, I am the current leader of SHIELD, as of half an hour ago I have taken leadership of SHIELD. On behalf of the SHIELD I apologize for the actions against you and your allies. You can count on our support in this ordeal." Nick said diplomatically getting a slightly surprised nod from Carol.
"Carol…we really messed up didn't we?" Steve sighed getting a curt nod from the woman. "I don't even know where to begin-"
"Steve, stop. I'm not going to lie and say everything will be alright after this." Carol said with a sigh of her own. "There is no way in hell things will be the way they used to be. Some bonds will never be fully restored; I mean for god sake I hit Bruce as hard as I could. My frustration got to the point that I tried to break him." Carol revealed as she shook her head. "Things will never be the same, but the best we can do is just put that aside for today and stop Mephisto now."
"Well I doubt anyone would be willing to trust my judgment right now, so today you're in charge." Steve said with a tired smile. "Make us proud soldier."
"I'll try Cap…I'll try." Carol said with her exhaustion from the events finally showing on her face. Meanwhile a few feet away Adriana approached a very apprehensive Cammy.
"Cammy, I know that by no stretch of the imagination should I ever ask you for a favor, but I need to now." Adriana said calmly as she swallowed her pride. "I need Juri and Ero to fight with me. Please protect my daughter." Adriana said seriously as she held out the infant who looked up at the fighter with wide red eyes. A tense moment passed before Cammy sighed.
"Though I should hate you with every fiber of my being for controlling me, nothing happened to me besides losing my right to speak freely, and that transgression is not enough to warrant endangering an innocent child's life." Cammy said firmly as she grabbed the baby while Ero smiled from a distance. "Though why didn't you just command me to do so?" Cammy questioned making Adriana release a long breath.
"Two reasons. One, if I die I don't want my child in the care of a mindless drone, and two….Ero told me something that made me rethink my actions." Adriana said tiredly as she looked up at the sky. "She asked me how I would feel if someone controlled our daughter like I controlled you. I was furious at the very thought...and I was furious at myself. While I did everything for my species, I failed to see just how cruel my actions would be seen by the monk-humans. I detest them, they are cruel ignorant creatures, and I refuse to be on their level. My feelings and attempts to strengthen my people will not change, but I will do my best no to endanger more people than necessary." Cammy looked at her for a moment before nodding her head. Adriana nodded before walking towards Jessica.
"What's up?" Jessica questioned as the Queen approached.
"Your information may have been a little off. Two people aren't an army." Adriana pointed out making Jessica smirk in a way that screamed she knew something that the Queen didn't.
Oh yeah, it was very easy for her to see why Cassandra loved this job. It beat being Spider-Woman any day.
"Everyone that bares the mark of the spider is in your army, myself and the other two seers included." Jessica revealed making Adriana's eyes widen slightly before she shook her head.
"There is no way they will follow me, one of them tried to kill me already. And even then, that's still not enough." Adriana explained making Jessica's smirk turn into a smile.
"I don't know, talk to them like you talked to Cammy and you might get positive results. Just get rid of your pride and be honest with them." Jessica explained as a shadow began to descend over the area. "As for not being enough, how about now?" All conversations in the area stopped as the heroes all looked up to see a large spider shaped space craft.
A silence.
Then like a water fall wave after wave of Spider-Man dressed individuals from various alien species of all shapes and sizes descended from the space craft.
"Dear God…" Captain America whispered in shock as stared at the different Spider-Men. It finally began to sit in that even if they hadn't been proven wrong, his side still would have lost the struggle in the end. Finally Father Spider landed in front of a gaping Adriana in a crouch before standing up showing himself to be a good three heads taller than the Queen.
"Are you the one known as Adriana Soria?" Father Spider questioned calmly making the woman nod her head mutely. A smirk grace his old face as he suddenly kneeled before her. "I have been waiting to meet you since decades before Anansi had foretold your birth. We are the Galactic alliance of Spider-Men, protectors of over one hundred thousand worlds and we shall follow your every order, my Queen." Father Spider finished as the Spider-Men cheered. Again, stunned beyond belief, Adriana could only shakily nod her head.
"Well, safe to say she won." Kiden deadpanned as the criminals under her control entered the area.
"Just what kind of fight is about to happen?" Talon muttered in disbelief. It took a while for everyone to regain their motor skills and Soon Mayday approached Mary Jane who had been speaking to Silver and Natasha. Mary Jane stooped mid-sentence when she noticed the brunette.
"Mayday…" Mary Jane began sadly, not even knowing where to begin, while Silver and Natasha looked on in confusion. "I'm so sorry that I couldn't protect you…if I had been stronger-"
"Stop, mom-different universe." Mayday added when the two assassins looked as if something exploded in front of them. "You couldn't have stopped it, I chose to take the blow and besides I'm alive and better than ever. Plus my new job is much safer than Spider-girl ever was. You just did my version of you a huge favor." Mayday chuckled making Mary Jane smile weakly despite the situation.
"I can't even remember my pregnancy, and hell you're not even my daughter, but seeing you die...hurt. It hurt a lot. Despite what you say, I'll probably never forgive myself." Mary Jane said sadly.
"Well you're going to have to get over that soon." Mayday said with a small smile. "You see, I've always been sort of a rebel at heart-I blame you- so as soon as I found myself suddenly bound by rules concerning my new powers, the first thing I did was bend them to the point of breaking them."
"What are you getting at Mayday?" MJ said as she suddenly began to feel uneasy for some inexplicable reason while the two assassins looked on in confusion.
"There are limits to how much a Madame Web can interfere with people's lives. These limits apply to everyone, but us. We can interfere with our own lives as much as we want." Mayday explained. "We we're desperate for a savior earlier so…I went back in time before your idiotic deal with Mephisto. I switched myself with another baby that had died that day and resurrected myself. I left her on another earth to be trained for a few years so she could help out." With that Mayday stopped talking and quietly stepped to the side where MJ saw a young red haired girl talking to Julia.
May stopped talking when she felt someone staring at her. Time seemed to slow as May turned around and met her mother's eyes. Both of them looked at each other in shock and May even swallowed nervously.
"Dear lord…" Natasha whispered in morbid fascination as Silver tried to form a sentence but failed horribly so she settled for just watching how the scene played out.
"Let me introduce you to May Parker." Mayday finally spoke up. "Your daughter." MJ dropped her sword in shock.
*Clang!*
"M-mom?" May asked weakly as she approached them nervously. MJ had absolutely no recollection of the girl whatsoever. She was already a teenager for crying out loud. Despite all of this there was no denying the resemblance she had with Mayday or the feelings that were rushing through her body.
It was those feelings that possessed her to nod her head as her eyes glistened with unshed tears.
"I-it's me." MJ managed to get out before she found herself in a bone-crushing embrace that she returned whole heartedly. "I'm so sorry-"
"Mom, I…." May couldn't even finish her sentence and just settled for crying into her mother's neck. After a moment the sound of choppers rung throughout the area, looking up they could see three black helicopters entering the area.
"Took her long enough." Natasha stated dryly as Viper open the door and leapt out of the chopper. Flipping a few times, Crimson Viper landed perfectly on her feet.
"Just what the hell is going on here!?" Viper asked incredulously while the helicopters landed. Groups of men and women covered in black combat armor carrying assault rifles on their back spilled out of the air crafts.
"Funny you should mention hell…" Silver trailed off.
"Stop. I don't wanna know." Viper sighed. "Who's the kid and why isn't Sonja out right now?"
"That's apparently Mary Jane's daughter." Black Widow answered before turning to MJ. "As for why Sonja isn't out, I have no idea."
"When we get back to Emora, we have to begin construction on a memorial. Sonja…didn't make it through this. I'll explain the rest later." MJ said while the women looked at her in horror.
"Shit! This is worse than I thought." Viper said angrily. May was about to question who Sonja was when suddenly she and every other spider hero snapped their heads towards Adriana.
["Listen because I am not repeating myself. I understand many of you do not know me and I understand that those of you that do have no reason to trust me, but I ask you to put that aside for today. Why? Because we all have something or someone we love above everything and if we don't fight together they'll be destroyed by that monster."] Adriana began seriously as she thought of her daughter and Peter.
Ben thought about his brothers and Aunt May.
Miles thought about his parents.
Jessica thought about her Aunt May, Gwen, and MJ
May thought about her long lost parents.
Kaine thought about Annabelle and Aracely. (LIAG Helpful Info: Aracely is a young Mexican girl Kaine saved from a shipping container. Her powers are unknown at the time but she appears to be a powerful telepath. Her very psychic presence struck fear in Rachel, Jean, and Kid Omega.)
Ero thought about her team mates, siblings, Aunt Amy, everyone else dear to Peter, and her daughter.
As the spider heroes thought of their loved ones, Adriana continued.
["For today, I've linked our minds I've combined everyone will share one incredibly powerful Spider-sense to give us complete omnipresence. Today you will fight like you never have before, and tomorrow after we win, we can get on with our lives."] Adriana finished getting thoughts of agreement from the spiders.
-3 Hours Later-
It was night and we now find Dr. Strange frowning as he looked at the pillar of energy.
"If what you said was correct then we have only a small window of opportunity to defeat him." The Sorcerers Supreme said as he turned to the black haired Madame Web. "His dark influence can be felt throughout the entire galaxy and it's only getting stronger. He's not just absorbing the Web…he's trying to bring Hell to earth. As soon as he frees himself thousands upon thousands of demons will be released."
"It's fine, he'll be arrogant and that's when those six can fight him. The forces we've gathered will defeat the demons." Jessica explained easily.
"Mephisto has tied himself into existence itself." Stephen said as he shook his head. "This Web is truly a power beyond even my understanding. It's pure energy that much is obvious yet it has no magical properties. What exactly is it?"
"That's a question not even Anansi can answer. It's just always been there, growing in power and eventually gaining some sort of sentience." Jessica sighed. "The only thing known for sure that it is about as old as The One Above All. Mephisto can't even fathom just how much power he truly has at his disposal which is why those six have to fight him as soon as they can."
"You know, you never say defeat when it comes to them going against Mephisto." Stephen said suddenly with narrowed eyes. "It's as if you think they will be defeated."
"I'm not just thinking it, I'm praying for it." Jessica muttered as she turned to face the army that practically tripled over time. Deadpool had gathered the visitors who came from the other universe for the tournament. The vampires all gathered behind Jubilee as they basked in the moonlight. The mutants-minus the still comatose Magik- had stuck behind Talon who was trying to calm the raging souls in her body. The remainders of New York's criminals were behind Kiden and SHIELD plus more of the Avengers were behind Carol. The Spiders stood ready to fight behind The Queen. May and Father Spider were both in front of the group and behind Adriana. All of them were behind Mary Jane who glared up at the pillar.
"Mary Jane, my people may not be able to fight for more than few hours. The sun light will kill most of them instantly." Jubilee said making MJ nod.
"Then we'll have to be quick." MJ said before closing her eyes when she Jessica sent her a telepathic message about Stephen's discovery. "They will be busy fighting demons, so that leaves the six of us to deal with Mephisto." MJ said as she turned to the other five women who bore a gem. "Kiden, you control time, you'll be our medic. Reverse any wound that is inflicted on us. Jubilee, you have defense." Jubilee was quite content with her role seeing how unpredictable her gem could be. According to Dr. Strange her need to have her side win unconsciously made her gem manipulate reality to the point where a majority of the Avengers couldn't enter the city to help out Captain America and the other Avengers they fought. "Adriana, just how strong are you compared to when you tried to take over New York?"
"Much stronger." The Queen said making MJ nod.
"You'll keep him busy then. Carol and Talon, you two will be with me and inflict the most damage." Carol nodded but Talon looked unsure. "Listen, I know you are very apprehensive about your new power but if there was ever a chance to control it it's now."
"Your mind isn't shattered this time Laura, you can handle it." Jubilee reassured her mate making the feral nod.
*CRACK!*
They all looked up to see a large crimson hand break through the pillar as flames began to engulf the city. In the distance they could hear the cries of demons in the distance.
"Get ready!" Mary Jane shouted as she turned to the assembled forces. "Your orders are simple; anything in front of us dies!" MJ commanded before glaring at the large form of Mephisto that landed in the middle of the city. MJ's armor ripped apart as the Witchblade covered her. Her wing ripped free as the armor continued to cover here as it felt Mephisto's power while her eyes shone a bright red. Her Hyrkanian blade and her vibranium sword appeared in her hands as metallic horns appeared on the side of her head.
"When the hell could she do that!?" Viper whispered harshly ad Natasha and Silver shook their heads just as perplexed as her. Talon was surrounded in darkness as the blue eyes monster was once again standing in her place. She clenched her fists and nodded her head when she realized that she was in complete control. Black pooled in in Jubilee's eyes as her wings ripped free. Carol transformed into Binary while Adriana's eyes seemed to have been replaced by golden flames as she smirked.
"Are…are you praying right now?" Jubilee questioned as she turned to Kiden. "I didn't think you were a religious person."
"I'm not, but if I'm going to face the damned devil, or at least the closest thing to it that I ever want to see, I figure now is as good as time as to repent." Kiden said dryly as she performed the sign of the cross before stepping on her glider.
"FOOLISH MORTALS! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE GOING AGAINST!" Mephisto boomed as he flapped his wings sending a large gust of a wind towards them. "YOU CAN NOT COMPREHEND MY POWER!"
"Power?" MJ repeated as she glared at him. "I am power!" MJ shouted as she blasted off towards him.
BGM: Guren no Yumiya- Shingeki no Kyojin Opening OR War-Sick Puppies you choose.
"Don't fuck up!" Kiden called back to her followers before disappearing in a yellow flash.
"Our redemption starts today!" Jubilee shouted as she flew away while the vampires blurred away in bursts of speed.
"Need a lift?" Ero questioned Adriana making the Queen scoff.
"Don't be daft, there's a reason I'm your Queen." Adriana said simply before leaping high into the air web-zipping through the destroyed buildings at speeds Ero had never thought of reaching before.
"If she could do that, why the hell did she make me carry her everywhere?" Ero wondered with wide eyes before following after her with the other Spiders.
"Don't die." Talon advised before teleporting away.
"Avengers, Assemble!" Binary shouted before blasting off at light speed.
"DIE-*BOOOOM*!" Mephisto was cut off as Carol reappeared in front of him and drew first blood with a powerful punch that made him stumble back slightly. She didn't stop there as she continued to fly forward until she circled the very planet and reappeared in front of him again and delivered a second blow. She repeated this countless times as he was knocked back more and more from each blow. Having enough of this, Mephisto released a large fire ball from his mouth.
"Stop!" Kiden shouted as the fire ball froze in midair. "Rewind!" The fireball suddenly reversed and slammed back into Mephisto's face much to his fury. The devil went to swipe at her only to find his arm cut off when MJ flew passed him. The red-head circled behind him and with a sonic boom, she blew forward and slammed both of her blades to the back of his neck both creating large gashes as he was force to his knee. Adriana was high in the air when she began to descend upon him. She held her sides in pain as she transformed into the same form she had when she tried to take over New York before she slammed two of her massive spider legs into the back of his head sending it flying off as each of her four eyes burned a bright gold.
*THOOOOOM!*
The ground shook from the force of her landing.
-Meanwhile; A few blocks away-
"Holy shit! Is that Queenie?" Juri questioned incredulously as she, Chun-Li, and Cammy fought hordes and hordes of hell spawn as flames danced around them.
"Yup, she was a royal pain in the ass to fight too!" Kaine shouted as he swung by and kicked a hellhound high into the air where Ero landed on it and drove her stingers through its side as the ground continued to erupt with flaming geysers. "So did she look like that when your daughter was conceived?"
"Up yours Kaine! You still owe me a drink for getting that stick as far out of her ass as I have." Ero muttered as she flipped him off. A large flaming behemoth attempted to ram Captain America who blocked the attack with his shield. While Steve kept it busy, Miles landed on its back and grabbed its head with his hands making it scream in pain before collapsing. Cap wasted no time and rammed his shield into its neck and successfully beheaded the demon splattering blood on both him and Miles.
"Gross man!" Miles shouted as he looked at his costume before shaking his head. "Good team work though."
"Back at you soldier." Captain America said as Miles raised a fist.
"We cool?" Miles questioned as Steve chuckled and bumped his fist. As this was going on Anya took down two flaming bats before six more began circling her. Each of the bats was quickly shot down by repulsor blast from Iron Man.
["So still think I'm not a hero?"] Iron Man questioned as Anya panted before smirking up at him.
"You're on your way kid." Anya quipped before swinging away.
["Kid?"] Iron Man repeated to himself in shock before following after her. Natasha shot down a few humanoid looking demons with her gauntlets while Hawkeye stood behind her taking a few out with his spare bow.
"All I'm saying is did you really have to electrocute me?" Clint questioned sounding annoyed.
"You should take it as a compliment that I didn't try to fight fair with you." Black Widow said as she suddenly black flipped in front of him and caught one of the demons' head between her legs before cracking its neck.
"Somehow I'm not sure which would be worse." Clint sighed. Far away even the canon-fodder was bonding!
"All I'm asking is if you sparkle." A brunette gang member said as he shot at a few demons while a no named vampire ripped their heads off before glaring at him viciously.
"Damn it Dave! Quit antagonizing the fucking vampires! I don't want to be lunch!" A brunette woman shouted angrily.
-With the Queens-
A second body suddenly sprung from the back of Mephisto and screamed in outrage.
"YOU DARE OPPOSE-*SCHTIK!*"Mephisto looked down in confusion as Talon suddenly blasted through his chest. The feral recovered in air and raised her hands towards him, engulfing him in fire.
"Now I see why Spidey always did that, it's surprisingly useful." Binary said after throwing the feral. Four large molten spikes sprung from the ground and stabbed into Mephisto.
"I don't know whether to laugh or be angry." Jubilee mused as she raised a hand at Mephisto before charging her pyro kinetic energy. The Queen maneuvered behind him and held in a choke hold. Mephisto opened his mouth just as MJ flew into it. He tried to slam it closed but MJ held it up with one hand as her gem shone brightly. She glared as fire began to form in his mouth but it was quickly extinguish by Kiden. Gritting her teeth MJ leapt down his throat making as the onlookers looked on in shock.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Adriana sent to MJ telepathically.
["I'm grabbing Peter and Octavius before he can finish absorbing their power! Stand back!"] MJ sent back making the Queen push the devil away from her.
"HMPH, THAT'S ONE FOOL GONE." Mephisto shouted before raising a hand towards Talon. "AND YOU…YOU FEAR HELL DON'T YOU? HOW ABOUT I SEND YOU SO FAR DEEP THAT YOU'LL NEVER GET OUT!" The ground under Talon shattered as a flame shot up and engulfed her before quickly closing.
"Laura!" Jubilee shouted before a large rumbling could be heard. The ground reopened as Darkchilde flew out with her arm around Talon. She sat the feral down as she glared at Mephisto. "Magik saved Laura? Not that I'm ungrateful but why?"
"You…you're the one reason my power sent her to hell, I can feel it." The pissed of mutant muttered making Mephisto chuckled.
"AND WHAT OF IT? I GAVE YOU POWER, BE GRATEFUL WHELP." Darkchilde seethed at his audacity.
"I do not appreciate being used, especially not to hurt her!" Darkchilde roared as she teleported and reappeared on his shoulder before ramming her soul blade through his eye.
"Just what the hell is going on?" Kiden questioned in confusion as she landed next to Jubilee. Talon sighed sadly as she approached them.
"When I lost control…I wanted to hurt her for sending me to hell even if it was accident, but at the same time reward her for this power. So I destroyed her free will to make her my servant. I destroyed her mind and remade it how I saw fit. I wanted to make and use her as a weapon the same way that I was used; I thought it was poetic justice." Talon explained making both Kiden and Jubilee wince, Jubilee more so as she recalled Magik's screams when Talon had caught her. From Mephisto's shoulder the mutant leapt away when she felt a surge of magic. When she landed she turned to see a large crimson seal explode from the devils midsection while MJ slashed fee from his stomach with Peter and Octavius under each of her arms as she was drenched in blood.
"Finish it!" MJ ordered as Gae Bolg fired upwards assaulting Mephisto with countless crimson needles as he writhed in pain.
"STOP!" Kiden shouted as she made the devil's body freeze. "I love my powers!"
"KNEEL!" Adriana ordered as she released her most powerful sonic screech from behind him as Talon teleported in front of him. Talon shuddered as she felt the souls inside her move restlessly.
"Just…DIE!" Talon shouted before releasing a devastating sonic roar that was backed by one million screams of anger. The two shouts probably could have been heard across the country, if not the planet.
Blackbolt would have been proud, but not impressed. (LIAG Helpful Info: Listen I'm not even going to waste my time with a breakdown with this OP as hell character. He can planet bust with his voice. Just know that.)
"Grand Finale!" Jubilee shouted as she released a powerful stream of energy. Binary flew up and brought her hands together and released the strongest wave of energy she could muster.
"AHHHH!" Binary roared as she put everything she had into the attack.
-Space-
A beam of flaming energy could be seen leaving the planet and shooting out into the vast darkness of space, grazing the moon as it did so.
BGM: END
-New York-
"Did…did they do it?" Rachel questioned tiredly as Storm and Logan finished off a few demons in their area. Jean panted as she fell on her real.
"I don't know, but I don't see any more demons spawning. We need to finish the ones that are still hangin' around." Wolverine said seriously before raising an eyebrow at Jean. "Why are you so tired? I thought you controlled the phoenix?"
"I did, but it still hasn't had the chance to reform after my last fight. Alpha took a lot out of me." Jean answered weakly. "Speaking of Alpha, who's that?" Jean questioned as she gestured to Andy who had been flying around the city making sure that everyone made it out alive. He could pretty much kill all of the demons with a punch so spent his time protecting them as he had faith that the six women could deal with Mephisto.
"That was her boyfriend; she apparently gave the kid her power." Wolverine answered as she nodded her head sadly.
"She didn't make it." Jean murmured making the feral shake his head.
"No, but I heard she put up a hell of a fight considering she won in the end. Don't stress over it kid, there wasn't much you could do." Wolverine said knowingly.
-With the Queens-
"Is it over?"Jubilee questioned as her sclera became white again.
"His body completely disintegrated." Kiden said as she fell to her rear and just stared at the large scorch mark in shock before she turned to an exhausted Binary. "Overkill much?"
"Heh, at least now I know that I don't need hardly as much energy as I thought I did to use this form." Binary said as she willed herself to revert back into Captain Marvel. The darkness surrounding Talon shattered like glass before she crashed to her knees. She was surprised her costume wasn't destroyed but guessed Jubilee had something to do with it when she made it. She glanced over to Mary Jane whom was standing above Peter and Octavius while blood dripped from her armor and weapons.
"Someone break his legs." Talon said as she gestured to Octavius. "In case he wakes up and tries to escape before we can fix this. Kiden or I can heal him later." MJ nodded and swiftly slammed her foot down on both of his knees in quick succession. The queen knelt down before her large body began to collapse revealing her nude human body standing inside the remains. Her molted body began to disintegrate but before she could say anything a rumbling alerted her and she turned around to see a colossal spider racing towards her. The Spider quickly reverted back into Alice who hugged her tightly and cried. Adriana's eye twitched slightly as she tried to free herself from the death grip.
"See I told you some people find you likable." Ero said as she swung into the area. Adriana was going to retort when suddenly she, Ero, and Alice all froze. The six queens held their heads in pain as their gems shone brightly sending them crashing down.
"D-Damn…it's not over yet." The Queen winced out as she broke into a cold sweat. She looked up into the sky in terror as she saw a large face glaring down at them. "Removing them caused the energy he had already absorbed to be released!"
-Space-
Mephisto held the planet of Earth in his right hand and looked down impassively.
"YOU CAN NOT DEFEAT ME YOU FOOLISH WORMS." Mephisto said simply. "YOU'VE ATTACKED YOUR GOD AND NOW YOU WILL DIE." Mephisto said as his colossal eyes burned a bright gold before he slowly closed his hand.
-Earth-
All across the planet people watched in shock as a large shadow was cast over everything in sight. This was it. After all of the Armageddons they had survived, they were finally about to be crushed.
-New York-
Peter looked up at the closing hand with tears pouring from his eyes as Octavius twitched in pain.
"This is it…this is how it ends, we're all going to die and it's my fault. Everyone...I'm sorry."
The Queens screamed in pain as their gems shone with such an intensity that Ero had to shield her eyes. Then as one they all disappeared in different colored flashes that matched the color of their respective gems.
-Temple of the Great Weaver-
"We've lost haven't we? We're about to die." Felicia asked incredulously making as Taran shook her head as tears of joy fell from her eyes.
"No I can finally read the ending, the true Nemesis will save us all."
-?-
"Am I really about to die this time?" Peter wondered as he looked around at the plain of nothing. "Of course I am. Nothing can save this time. I really screwed up."
Is that so?
"What? Who's there?" Peter questioned as he looked around frantically.
Have you learned nothing? Your bonds will always save you. The love you share between those you care for can create miracles.
"How could they possibly help me in this situation!?" Peter asked angrily making the feminine voice chuckle.
I've always been alone, I had all of the power I could ever hope for at my fingertips yet in the end I could do nothing. The loneliness caused me to grow cold, to hate life, and hate it so much that I attempted to destroy myself. But because of my actions, fate decided to punish me…so I didn't die. The voice said making Peter widen his eyes as he listened to the tale. I was frozen for eternity while I watched people use my power selfishly…but then a miracle happened…
"What happened?" Peter asked honestly curious as he could tell that there was a lesson somewhere in the story.
Your love saved me. Your love destroyed my loneliness and helped me see the light. While it's true that to control all of the web's bonds your mind AND body are needed…only your heart is required to draw strength from your own bonds. Believe in them…in us…and you can still save everyone.
*FLASH*
Peter looked around in shock as he was surrounded by Mary Jane, Carol, Adriana, Talon, Jubilee, and Kiden. Their apparently nude bodies were all shining in a bright light as a golden web line shot from their chests and into Peter. The four brightest web-lines were from MJ, Carol, Talon, and Adriana while weaker ones came from Jubilee and Kiden; both of them had a second much bright line connecting them to Talon. All of their irises were shining the same color as their respective gems.
Believe in them and they will lead me to victory.
Peter nodded his head and gazed at them seriously.
"I'm counting on you, all of you. Everyone's life depends on you. I know if it's you all you can defeat him…" Peter trailed off as he turned to a surprised Adriana with a small smile. "I still think you're crazy, but I still believe in you." Peter said and despite herself, the Queen shook her head with a small smile. "Now show him why hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!"
-Above Earth-
BGM: Eihwaz (Vocals) - Cosmic Break Soundtrack OR Set The World On FIre- Black Veil Brides
"WHAT!?" Mephisto wondered as he felt someone grab his wrist. Turning around he came face to face with a gorgeous purple skinned woman who had bright yellow eyes. She was garbed in a white and gold armor and had on a pair of gold and blue arm guards. Just under both of her shoulders was a golden band. Framing her face were long black locks made of pure darkness that melded in to the darkness of space and on her head was a golden crown that had each of the six infinity gems in it.
(LIAG Breakdown: Super quick edition: Nemesis is the being that split into the infinity gems. She can virtually do anything.)
"N-NO….YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GONE!" Mephisto roared before he was met with a vicious punch to the face. He didn't know precisely when he stopped flying from the blow, but he did know that Nemesis was already there and rammed elbow into his face sending him flying down into the endless voiced of space.
"Let me show you what happens when you cross infinity itself." Nemesis said as the space gem shone brightly as she suddenly teleported and reappeared under Mephisto. Next the Power gem shone as she grabbed him and slammed him down upon her knee viciously ripping him in half. Mephisto used his wings to fly away and abandon his lower half.
"I CONTROL DIMENSIONS THEMSELVES! I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY YOU!" Mephisto roared as he raised his hands and whipped them down. Mephisto smirked as he attempted to slam Earth 1610 into Earth 616. The reality gem shone brightly as Nemesis raised her hands and gritted her teeth slightly as she ceased the alternate universe's movement and separate the two universes relatively easily with minimum damage. Mephisto glared at the sight. "YOU WHO TRIED TO THROW AWAY SUCH POWER DON'T DESRVE IT! HOW DARE YOU INTERFERE WITH MY PLANS!? THEY DON'T CONCERN YOU!" Mephisto shouted as he created a ball of pure hell fire that easily dwarfed him and fired it at her.
"They concern me in more ways than you could ever hope to imagine." Nemesis stated coldly as the time gem shone making the ball freeze in its tracts before slamming back into him.
*FA-BOOOOOOOOOM*
"IMPOSSIBLE…I WAS SO CLOSE!" Mephisto said as his body burned while the mind gem shone next on her crown. Mephisto suddenly screamed as he felt his mind being ripped asunder. Nemesis grabbed him by his neck while the soul gem shined brightly and proceeded to rip out his very soul. The soul screamed in agony before she clenched her fist tightly making it explode destroying it easily. The soul didn't go back Hell, Limbo, Heaven, or any other after life…it was simply destroyed. All in all it was ironic, if Mephisto had just kept his end of the deal with Mary Jane and left Peter alone he'd still be ruling his realm in Hell. The gems shone brightly as she raised her hands towards Earth.
-New York-
"Sir we're getting reports that the casualties caused by Alpha are coming back to life!" Coulson shouted making Nick smirk to himself as he gazed up at the sky with his one eye.
"Well I'll be damned."
-With Nemesis-
BGM: END
-?-
"Okay, that kicked ass." Carol said simply making them laugh, hell even Adriana smirked a little at it. Peter turned to the side when he saw a more human sized Nemesis walking towards them.
"Now do you see the power of your bonds?" Nemesis questioned and all Peter could do was nod numbly. Nemesis smiled before pulling him in for a kiss making the rest of the women gape at him.
"Seriously webs? Am I the only one immune to you?" Jubilee asked in shock. Kiden turned to her and blinked owlishly as she raised her hand. "You don't count, you were in a coma." Kiden put her hand down.
"Thanks to your love, I finally know what it feels like to live but I no longer have a true body. Take care of these women." Nemesis said as she gestured to MJ, Talon, Carol, and Adriana before turning to the feral. "And you take care of those two. As long as you six have part of me inside of you I will be content. Consider it…payment for my help." Nemesis finished with a smile. Now it's time to return back to your planet so you can get your body back."
"Wait can't you just fix this for him?" Carol question in confusion.
"This is something he has to do on his own. I see the future and this is for the best."
"I wouldn't be me if it was that lucky I suppose." Peter sighed before he looked up to her. "One favor though, it's about a planet we passed. I barely managed to recognize it but it's very similar to one a…friend told me about. I kind of want to do something there first you know? while I still have the opportunity. I want to make something right on behalf of my planet." Nemesis smiled as she knew what he meant.
"That can be arranged…"
-Later Back on Earth-
A much smaller Nemesis landed in front of a group of gaping individuals. Even the vampires that were now hiding in the shadows could be seen gaping at her. Nemesis blinked at seeing so many people blatantly staring at her as if she were some sort of goddess-never mind. Remembering an earth custom she picked up from her vessels' memories, she waved slowly.
"Hi?" Nemesis said or more like asked before separating into the six women as Peter opened his eyes. Ero shook her head before collapsing as the past few days finally took its toll on her body. Jubilee quickly made a blanket for the still nude Adriana while Sue approached with the Golden Octobot in her hand.
"He said this would get him back into his body." Sue said answering their unasked question as she sent a slight glare at her husband, who had the decency to look away.
"T-Th-ank Y-You…H-urry." Peter wheezed out. "R-Robyn Do-I-it…"
["Right away Mr. Spider-Man! It's finally time to have justice!"] Robyn shouted as she hacked the Octobot and ran towards Peter. She placed a tentacle on the side of his neck as May sat a shouting Octavius next to him. The little bot smacked him with one of its tentacles and told him to shut up before stabbing Octavius in the neck as well. Both Peter and Otto gasped before going silent.
"What's going on? Why aren't they waking up?" May questioned apprehensively. She got her answer when Rachel stepped forward.
"Octavius is resisting to the swap and Spider-Man is too weak to just switch with him. They're fighting for dominance." Rachel answered.
"Can you do something?" Talon questioned making her shake her head sadly.
"Any interference with a foreign mind may disturb the process. It's entirely up to Spider-Man to be able to push Octavius out." Rachel sighed. "Not even Adriana could help seeing as right now she's too inexperienced with true telepathy. All we can do now is wait." Rachel finished making many of them frown.
"Yo boss, that shit was crazy!" One of the young gang members shouted gaining Kiden's attention. "Fighting all up in space and shit…"
"You saw that?" Kiden questioned incredulously.
"Yo, we all did!" The gang member said enthusiastically. "Like the sky turned into some sort of big ass TV." Miles away, Rebuff smirked to herself.
"Well how about that? Oh well go help out the civvies, let them know you got their back, it'll help us in the long run." Kiden ordered making the criminals groan. "Hey, the buildings are destroyed, that means free shit." That got their attention as they all quickly ran off. She may have said that, but the main reason was for none of them could get a get angle to see Spider-Man's face and she decided to take initiative for once in her life and get them away from the area. Tatiana walked up to her and handed her a cane. "You know you are really late with this right?" Kiden sighed making Tatiana bow her head as she explained that she took a wrong turn.
"So…what are we going to do about them and their gems? You know that much power…" Tony trailed off as the Queens glared at him. Seeing the resistance, Steve seemed to age as he turned to the armored Avenger.
"Son…just don't."

Rebuff was sipping on a coconut in a bikini as Wanda continued to gape at her after witnessing the fight between Nemesis and Mephisto. Frowning when her drink was empty, Rebuff leaned over and grabbed Wanda's drink from her stunned hands and began to drink.
"Now, aren't you glad we went on vacation?"
Wanda still stared at her in disbelief.
*RING*
Rebuff frowned when her phone rang and quickly answered it.
"Hello-"
["BLOODY HELL, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO!?"] Her assistant back at her lab at her headquarters, Lexie, roared sending her crashing to her ass. ["The boss has paper work up his ass! You know if you're trying to get into his pants this is the wrong fucking way to do it! Damn It-of all the unmitigated gall-"]
*CLICK!*
"Fuck them, I'm on vacation." Rebuff muttered as she got back to her seat. Yeah her boss would probably kill her one day, but hey at least she'd go down drunk and happy.

"I have an army!" Loki shouted making Spider-Man chuckled as he closed his cell phone.
"Oh really? That's cute." Spider-Man drawled as a large black Spider-shaped space craft floated of New York.
No one know what happened that day…
…But Loki now had Arachnophobia.

Also Quick shoutout to Princess Alexandria, if you like femlsash or just plain good old story telling her fics are amazing. I taught myself how to write fiction from her stories and she's the reason i even got interested in Marvel Fanfiction. I give credit where credit is due.
Review time, and holy shit I got a lot!
Malix2: Saw both of those shows bro and I understand how you feel, glad you could catch up!
Toaneo07 Ver2.0: Thanks I try.
Whytry7: Thanks! It always pleases me to know I can entertain comic fans!

Crow667: I'll do my best.
Dracconnis: Will do!
Desuka Kira: Thanks for the heads up, but I had a plan for that already. Still I really appreciate it, like I said I research I don't have the funds to buy nearly as many comics as I want.
Hishin Trueflame: lol I completely understand you, when it comes to the Naruto section there are very few fics that pull off a harem without being cliché, mine is pure crack in my Naruto fic and even now I feel like going back and redoing it. The main reason I had a Harem for this fic is because there are so many different pairings people like that I decided to put him in an open relationship. Harems are really just another preference like femslash or slash. In my opinion anyway. As for the music, like I said I don't find music to fit the scene, I write the scene to fit the music.
XxNeo-ChanxX: Lol thanks I tried to make Phantom memorable. Also how does it feel to be a winner?
T-Biggz: A woman should be as OP as they can get if they're going to be with this Spider-Man by the end of this fic.
ShadowBloodedge9396: Thanks for the review and yeah I'm counting villains. Kiden and Jubilee's connection with Peter actually foreshadows how he's going to gain some power later.
Silent Envoy: I appreciate the longer review, and I completely understand the no pity thing lol. That comment made me laugh.

Gravitate: The women alone are scary but he still had his bros helping too, he can't lose!
Remnant of the Thirteen Primes: The reason for the realism is because I once read a manga called Arachnid, and it was about an assassin that fought like a spider. It was interesting seeing her get through everything using abilities a spider would, and inspired me to use realism.
John Doe: Lol Johnny will and Logan will be the ring bearer.
Superemopowerz: already explained that, so thank you for the review!
Arrankor: You'll get your mind battle just you wait –evil laugh-

Fablesrogue: Hope you enjoyed this as aswell and yes, fuck Magneto.
Lord Edric: Thanks for the review and the idea! As for how the convo switched, Octavius used that as a way to escape.
