Chapter 31: Child of Destiny

(Alternate Titles: OMFG, Most Convoluted plan ever, and Spidey did what now!?)

-Alchemax HQ: CEO's office-

"I can't believe this; you're really going to challenge Death aren't you?"

Peter stood in a black suit and looked out of his office window as Gaea sat on the other side of his desk and looked at his back in disbelief.

"If my plan works then yes, but I still need more information…just how exactly do you gods work?" Peter questioned as he turned to face her with a frown. "You say this mass of energy called the Demiurge fathered you. If so, why do you call this One Above All father?"

"He's everyone's father." Gaea informed Peter.

"So he's God? The God?" Peter asked incredulously.

"Closest thing to it." Gaea said seriously. "I'd give you a definite answer if I could tell you where he came from."

"And I punched this guy in the face?" Peter asked incredulously as he sat down and placed his head into his hands. "Of course I did…son of a bitch…I'm going to Hell aren't I?""

"Now Peter, from what I know he's fond of you for some strange reason…after all this isn't the first time you two have met." Gaea informed him, making him look at her in confusion. "I'll never forget it…in my four billion years of life I never expected that he would go out of his way to visit a single mortal."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you remember? When your aunt died…that homeless man who tried to help you…that was him." Gaea said as Peter gaped at her. A chill went down his spine as he realized he was talking to someone so powerful and didn't even realize it. "Now you asked how gods work so I'll tell you. The pure gods all follow rules that the One Above All created, it is impossible for us to break these without harsh consequences."

"I've gathered that much, tell me what separates Elder Gods from regular ones. Why is there such a vast power difference?" Peter inquired making Gaea hum in thought for a moment.

"Inbreeding would be part of it." Gaea mused as Peter gave her a weird look. "Don't try to judge me, Zeus and Hera are siblings, we're all related somehow and truth be told if Anansi had a few more centuries…"

"Okay, too much information." Peter said dryly. "Just please continue with your explanation."

"Obviously gods don't breed the same as mortals do…we can but we can also reproduce asexually." Gaea began. "The difference is that Elder Gods have complete control over how they're children are. Hypothetically, I could give birth to a grown woman with all of my knowledge asexually, but she would never be stronger than me. Regular gods have less control over how their young turn out and because they are all related their pure god offspring will more often than not be weaker than them, there are exceptions but that's how it is generally." Gaea finished before releasing a long breath. "That's why the demigods are feared."

"What?" Peter asked in confusion.

"They are part mortal they start off weaker and age faster, but their power has far more potential, they could surpass their godly parent under the right circumstances." Gaea said before narrowing her eyes. "If Thor were to lose his arrogance then by the time he is as old as Odin, he could demolish Zeus. Odin was a man with nearly unrivaled potential and I am the strongest Elder God, Thor has so much potential…but if he could just use his damned head." Gaea muttered as she rubbed her temples.

Idly Peter realized that the he felt like he was in a parent-teacher conference.

"Wait, nearly unrivaled?" Peter questioned in confusion.

"As great as Odin was, he didn't attract the attention of The One Above All." Gaea muttered as she stressed the title. "Your potential is quite literally frightening… when you're Odin's age…" Peter gaped as the Earth shuddered at the thought. "What's worse is that you growing stronger at an alarming rate. I am still trying to figure out who would be stronger in the end, you or that Alpha child." Gaea murmured. "There is no way I'd survive the birth, I'd probably begin to die immediately. So did this information affect your plan?"

"No." Peter muttered quietly before a small smile graced his lips. "We can do this. We can beat Death."

-The Next Day-

Spider-Man stood in a meadow in the middle of nowhere with Rebuff-who had her arms bandaged much to her chagrin-Death, Hera, and Annisia.

"Spider-Man you have been challenged to a private match by Death." Rebuff began as she gestured to the skeletal woman. "Now normally I wouldn't allow this but seeing how I can't feel one of my arms because of you…" Rebuff trailed off giving Spidey a pointed glare causing him to scratch the back of his head sheepishly.

"Oops…sorry…" Spider-Man apologized awkwardly making her glare harder. He honestly felt bad about that seeing as even though the woman was a psycho, she loved the heroes and blatantly favored Spider-Man's team. Spider-Man felt as though he pissed off a future ally for some strange reason.

"…and seeing as how quite frankly Death scares the shit out of me, I am going to allow it." Rebuff finished before releasing a long sigh and visibly calming down. "Since I am not a total asshole unlike some webbed crusaders…I'll allow you to pick two other competitors as your team; you cannot pick anyone from Team Amazing though, seeing as you all have a tendency to…win…"

"You realize that sounds extremely petty, right?" Spidey questioned curiously.

"Cry me a fucking river." Rebuff stated with a glare. "I'd flip you off if I could. Now pick your team mates, you and this planet are all probably going to die, but go down swinging web-head."

"Okay, I'll take…Gaea, and Mary Jane." Spider-Man said as the women appeared next to him.

"Alright this will probably be the last fight in this tournament…because there is no fucking way you're going to win and we'll all probably die in the process." Rebuff sighed sadly. "This plan was working so well too, boss will never let me hear the end of this one. Damn I'm too depressed to even do the introductions you know each other or at least of each other, go wild." Rebuff said with a sigh as she snapped her fingers causing all the fighters besides Death and Spider-Man to disappear before following suit.

Spidey wasted no time and quickly activated Anansi's Exo-skeleton when he felt Death release her aura.

"I'll admit…I thought that would have finished you." Death drawled as she simply knelt down and placed a finger on the ground causing it to begin to decay. Spider-Man narrowed his eyes when he noticed that the rotting was quickly spreading throughout the Earth. "Doesn't matter; nothing in your life has ever prepared you to face someone like me. This will be over shortly."

-Gaea vs. Hera-

"You dare challenge your mother?" Gaea asked quietly with a glare that would make anyone, even Zeus, cower in fear. However, Hera's madness had run too deep for it to faze the goddess. Gaea inwardly winced when she felt herself begin die slowly form the inside.

"No I challenge a weakling and a fool!" Hera bit out with a vicious grin. "You've have allowed order to be disrupted by a mere mortal and now I will fix it!"

"You dare call me a fool?" Gaea asked before tilting her head to the side. "You must have lost your damned mind. Come; let me remind you just who it is you're talking to." Hera glared and charged forward, determined to end her mother for her transgressions.

-Spider-Man vs. Death-

"Hmm…so that fool's body protects you from my aura of death?" Death mused as she gazed at the ascended Spider-Man through the eye holes of her skull. "I really will have to go all out…never believed there would be a day when I would actually have to use this." Spider-Man watched in apprehension as an orb of pitch black energy gathered in the entity's right hand. The orb slowly morphed into an incredibly dangerous pitch black scythe which had a black skull on the back of the blade with crimson energy burning from its eye sockets.

"Huh, you really do have one of those." Spider-Man mused as he slid into his fighting stance as Death took a stance and held the scythe tightly in both of her hands.

"It was a gift." Death stated simply as she thought of the being that sent her on her mission in the first place. He had given her the weapon the night before, much to her confusion as she normally just had to wave her hand to rid herself of pretty much anyone. "You can withstand my aura, but a single touch from me will be enough to kill you. Unfortunately for you this scythe is an extension of myself."

"Of course it is. Still, you'd actually have to touch me first. I have a history of being able to escape you, probably why you went after those close to me." Spider-Man mocked making her tighten her grip on her weapon. "Good thing I put everybody in the web…this fight is going to get apocalyptic"

"My power is absolute in my domain…" Death muttered before disappearing and reappearing behind Spider-Man with her scythe already in mid swing, prepared to cut him in half. "Unfortunately for you, I can raise my domain everywhere."

*BAM!*

"What?"Death wondered aloud as Spider-Man blocked her blade with his right hand.

"Unfortunately for YOU, we have that in common." Spider-Man taunted, and looking closer she could see that his hands we're wrapped with golden webs. "You are not the first enemy of mine that I can't touch." Spider-Man chuckled as an image of Electro flashed through his mind. "Huh? I thought my life experiences wouldn't prepare me for you?" Spider-Man taunted before laughing despite the situation as it finally dawned on him just how much Anansi had been preparing him for this single a moment.

An enemy he couldn't touch.

"Electro."

An enemy that was far more intelligent than him.

"Doc Ock."

An enemy the brought chaos with them no matter where they went.

"Osborn."

An enemy that was incredibly cunning.

"Chameleon."

An enemy that made him question his beliefs.

"Mysterio."

An enemy that terrified him.

"Venom…Carnage…"

An enemy that could kill him.

"Morlun…"

An enemy that was much more powerful than him.

"Rhino…"

Spider-Man back flipped away and landed in a crouch when Death got over shock as more and more of his enemies and their shared attributes with Death flashed through his mind.

"Most of all, you are an enemy that I must overcome to achieve my happiness!" He closed his eyes as an image of a smiling Ero just before she died flashed through his mind. "Myself." Spider-Man thought as his eyes snapped open so he could glare at the entity. "You are NOTHING I haven't faced before, you're just in one spot now…saves me time."

"You will regret your arrogance boy!" Death roared as black energy flared around her. Spider-Man simply slid into his fighting stance before gesturing for her to come at him.

"Bring it bitch."

-Mary Jane vs. Dark Annisia-

"So you're Sonja's legacy? Ha! I don't see much." Annisia mocked with a sinister laugh.

"Gwen, I know you can hear me! I've gone through the same thing you are right now, you have to regain control!" Mary Jane shouted at her opponent who just released a cold laugh.

"It's no use little red, I've buried her deep within me. She is nowhere near strong enough to reclaim control." Dark Annisia said as she held two pitch black battle axes in her hands. "Though it probably wouldn't matter anyway. You know personally that within this bond both parties have to be in some form of agreement…I'm just doing what she wants deep down in her cold black heart."

"Shut up!" MJ shouted with a glare as she pulled out her Hyrkanian blade which shone brightly with a bright yellow aura. Annisia grinned viciously at the sight of the familiar blade. "Do you think I would believe that for a second? I know that she probably has some anger over her current situation but she would never want to cause needless death and destruction! You're just exploiting a moment of weakness in order to carry out your own will!"

"You underestimate the darkness of human nature." Annisia said with a knowing smirk. "She's just like me and you know it…you didn't even question when she became bonded to me. Little Gwen and I just want the same thing…to watch the world that wronged us to burn, and it'll start with your corpse!" Annisia declared with a harsh laugh as she leapt at Sonja with both axes raised high while death energy enveloped her.

"Fine, come at me then!" MJ shouted as she leapt towards the woman with her power gem shining brightly while the Witchblade slowly encroached her heart.

-South Pole: With Gaea-

In a plain of ice and snow, water suddenly erupted form the ground and morphed into a frowning Gaea.

*KRAKA-BOOOOOM!*

Gaea's eyes narrowed when Hera crashed down in a bolt of lightning her body was shining blue from the electricity and the ground shook as her power was exerted.

"How do you have Zeus' bolt?" Gaea questioned as Hera smirked at her.

"I simply borrowed it; he doesn't really care about my actions one way or the other. It's why he hasn't interfered in my attempts to ruin Hercules's life." (LIAG Fun Fact: Zeus really doesn't seem to give that much of a damn about Hera's actions or how she practically tortures his son.)

"Have my children really fallen this far?" Gaea questioned as she winced slightly when a spike of pain erupted throughout her body. Across the globe various cracks and fissures grew as Gaea's life slowly drained away. The sky darkened with storm clouds making Hera smirk.

"Oh don't give me that look mother, you've abandoned your duties as a goddess for these mortals who do nothing but destroy themselves. They are nothing but ravenous creatures that defy my will every day with their disgusting mating habits."

"And whose fault is that?" Gaea asked rhetorically. "You all were supposed to guide them, but only a handful of my children actually does that! The rest of you just sit back and cause more problems for them than solutions! You let petty jealousy ruin the lives of the innocent! Look at you Hera, you were one of my faithful children and you've allowed yourself to grow mad because you can't satisfy your husband!"

Gaea's words were like a vicious slap to the face, and with an enraged roar Hera released a powerful wave of lightning which Gaea avoided by turning into air.

"Don't you dare act like you can judge me! You who have spread your legs for countless men like some sort of whore! I am the goddess of monogamy, and any transgressions against me will be met with appropriate retribution, mother!" Hera spit the last word out like venom as her mother paused slightly before bowing her head as her hands clenched. "Besides it's not like you've actually raised any of your children besides Anansi, calling you mother is a mistake to begin with." Hera finished coldly.

"I see…you're calling me a whore who isn't your mother at all…I see how I raised my children was a mistake." Gaea said quietly as a shadow was cast over her eyes as she grabbed the sleeve of her green robe. "A mistake I will rectify now. I will use a parenting technique that seems quite effective for mortal mothers and hopefully it will get some damned sense into that skull of yours." Gaea said quietly as the ground cracked some more as she continued to die. Hera wasn't sure but she thought that she heard her mother's voice waver with emotion for a moment before shaking the thought away.

"And what's this parenting technique you've learned from these mortals you love so much?" Hera asked skeptically with a scoff.

BGM: Magia (Madoka Magica OST) English translation by Amalee (Youtube it.)

"I believe they call it an ass beating!" An enraged Gaea roared as she removed her robe revealing herself in all her glory as the entire planet shook from the release of her power as the planet fell under her complete control. Her eyes shone blue with power as enraged tears fell down her cheeks. Hera flew back from the release of power.

"What?!" Before she could regain her bearings a hand grabbed her face despite being coated in the magical bolt and slammed her into the ground.

*BOOOOOM*

*CRASH!*

Gaea whipped her right hand up with a glare causing a colossal torrent of water to spring of up from Hera's point of impact. Snapping her fingers the water transformed into a pillar of ice which had a frozen Hera trapped inside.

*Clap*

Gaea clapped her hands together and held them that way as she closed her eyes and focused on her core.

-Within the Earth's core-

The molten core of our favorite planet began to pulse as if it were a heartbeat.

-With Gaea-

Gritting her teeth, she released a roar as torrent white hot magma erupted from the ground, melting the surrounding polar ice caps flooding the oceans across the globe. Gaea held out her left hand in order to stop the excess water from moving as the molten rock engulfed Hera's icy prison. When the lava died down Gaea could see that the bolt had protected Hera from most of the damage, but the little that did get through seemed to have nearly completely devastated Hera.

"Who do you think you are!?" Hera roared as she raised her hands causing a hole to appear in the storm clouds which continued to grow as blinding electric energy revealed itself. "Die!" Hera roared as the energy seemed to completely cover the sky.

*FLASH!*

*KRACK-BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM*

Hera grinned when the planet shook from the force of the blow as the entire battlefield seemed to disappear in a flash of white light. That grin disappeared when the light shrunk down to reveal that it was being compressed into a small white orb that was floating between Gaea's hands.

"H-How…"

"Fool…when the storm clouds came, you didn't truly think that it was your power did you? I am an Elder God. Familiarize yourself with that term in your next life. I hope your earthly mother can teach you some damn discipline." Gaea said coldly as the excess ocean water joined the lightning causing the white orb to spark erratically. Hera paled at the thought of reincarnating as a human and quickly tried to gather more power from her husband's bolt only to pale further when the power disappeared.

"My son may be a fool and ill-fitted for his throne, but he is not an idiot. How could anyone continue to truly love someone as mad as you?" Gaea asked as her hands began to trembles as the orb's ferocity grew when she added magma to the mix. "You torture each of his loves and his children, if you thought he would truly give you all of his power to fight his mother you are the most foolish woman it has ever been my displeasure to know." Gaea's hands could barely contain the power when a large torrent of wind joined. The orb looked as if it were going to explode before a dark core of gravity appeared in its center making the mixture stabilize into a white orb once more, though the black core could easily be seen.

Tears of betrayal fell from Hera's eyes as the truth finally made itself known.

Zeus had tricked her…and sent her to her death.

"Goodbye my daughter. Your spot in Olympus will not remain empty for long." Gaea said with a tone of finality followed by a sad sigh.

"No…No!" Hera screamed in fear as she tried to fly away only for Gaea to appear right before her and ram the orb into her chest with a sickening crunch.

"Lance of Ruin."

The orb erupted.

All hell broke loose.

-Space-

*BOOOOM*

A shock wave coursed throughout the southern hemisphere of the planet as a beam of white light, shaped very similarly to that of a lance erupted up from the bottom of earth and towards the moon. The screaming Hera, whom was at the top of the attack slammed into the orbiting sphere.

*FABOOOOOOM*

Which was wiped out when the beam erupted thus decimating it and the goddess within in a white blaze of pure unadulterated power.

BGM: END

Hera: Dead

Gaea vs. Hera…GAEA WINSSS!

Team Life: 1

Team Death: 0

-With Gaea-

Gaea landed and stared at her shaking hand for a moment.

The same hand that had just killed her daughter…she knew it was necessary, that Hera was too far gone to be saved.

So why did it hurt?

She hadn't even wept when Anansi died, so why did her eyes burn at that moment with unshed tears? Was her increased focus on mankind changing her? Was it possible that she regretted not having a more maternal bond with her children? Or was she just guilty that she had to be the one to do the deed?

Impossible. She was billions of years old, to just now have these feelings was incomprehensible, though she would be liar if she said raising Anansi hadn't been enjoyable. A pang of agony ripped through her body as the Earth shook and cracked some more.

She'd make sure to prevent that fate with her next offspring, she would guide them well.

Earlier: Spider-Man vs. Death-

"You can't run from me forever! This has been coming for a long time!" Death bit out as Spider-Man flipped over her and spun around quickly to deliver a devastating left jab to her face that didn't make her budge at all

"I have to win…I can't die yet!" Spider-Man shouted as Death twirled her scythe and stabbed its blade into the ground.

"Disappear." Death muttered before ripping it free and sending a colossal black wave of pure death towards our hero. The size of the ebony wave completely blocked Spider-Man from Death's view. The energy raced forward and split the entire continent in half leaving countless amounts corpses in its wake. "It is over-"

*THWIP*

"Almighty slingshot."

Death stopped when two golden web-lines connect to the ground on both side of her. She barely had the time to look up before a golden flash slammed into her.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Shockwaves rippled throughout the totaled nation. Time seemed to pause as Spider-Man glared down at Death with visible frustration from behind his mask as his now web covered feet were rammed into her face.

"You have finally managed to irritate me mortal." Death muttered as she went to grab him only for her hand to go right through his after image.

"I tend to have that effect on people." Spider-Man said as he landed a few meters away.

BGM: Invasion-Bleach OST

"Your chance for a peaceful death slips away more and more with each and every quip you utter." Death drawled as her body was engulfed in a black pillar. "You can't win. This isn't a situation where something like petty bravery will get you a victory. Even Anansi couldn't escape my embrace." Death drawled as she calmly walked towards him as everything around her began to disintegrate.

Spider-Man simply barked out a harsh laugh and dashed towards her.

"Anansi chose to die…so that I could live in his stead. As long as I breathe his legacy will live on!" Spider-Man declared as he speed-blitzed around her as tendrils of pure death stabbed through his after-images.

"You foolish Spider." Death said coolly as she suddenly vanished and reappeared before him with a vertical slash only for him to duck and slide in between her legs before standing up behind her and delivering a powerful round house to the back of her head which made her stumble for a bit much to her shock. Glancing back she allowed herself to sneer as she noticed the ethereal form of Nemesis standing next to Spider-Man. She idly noted that Spider-Man didn't seem to be able to see the entity as he charged at her again. "Sister…" Death nearly growled as she sent another downward slash at Spider-Man.

Nemesis simply smiled looking extremely amused at the situation.

"Shit it's too fast!" Spider-Man thought angrily as the scythe moved at a speed he couldn't match. Unknown to him, Nemesis chuckled as her time gem shone slightly. "Wait! I there's still a chance." Spider-Man thought as the weapon seemed to slow slightly.

*CLAP!*

*BOOOOOM!*

Spider-Man clapped his golden web covered hands together and caught the blade as the ground shattered underneath him. Spider-Man gritted his teeth as the blade trembled in his grasp. Releasing a quiet chuckle, Nemesis snapped her fingers and the scythe's blade shattered in his grasp from a sudden influx of power much to his relief and Death's annoyance.

"Why do you help this single fool stand against me sister?" Death wondered as she teleported backwards only to dodge a powerful right when Spider-Man followed her. "Is it because I didn't give you my embrace when you longed for it? No…you've given this child your power, though he doesn't know how to use it completely. Fine, if that's the way it is then-" Death's thoughts we're cut off when her head suddenly whipped to the side from the force of a sudden punch from Spider-Man. Spider-Man gritted his teeth as Death held her ground from the blow. Nemesis cocked her fist back from behind him…

"Come on budge!" Spider-Man thought in desperation as Nemesis released her blow.

*KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Spider-Man could be seen gaping from behind his mask as his fist suddenly exploded in a crimson light, completely engulfing a now screaming Death.

BGM: END

"Well…THAT'S new." Spider-Man muttered in shock, he had planned to knock her back a bit and get her in a combo…that had completely came out of left field for him. When the light died down Death was panting tiredly on one knee inside a large crater that was shaped like a spider. "Last skull to glare at me that hard was Ghost rider." Spider-Man mused before blowing on his smoking fist. "Ha, Spidey punch!" Nemesis simply chuckled and pressed her lips to his cheek. Spider-Man held the side of his face as he tried to figure out what the hell had just touched him.

"I see so that's how it is between you two…fine." Death muttered confusing the hell out of Spider-Man. "My power is absolute…I have not had as much physical combat time to even the playing field." Spider-Man watched in confusion as her cloak began to move. Nemesis frowned herself before widening her eyes in understanding when a black clad hand appeared from within her cloak followed by another. Spider-Man's eyes widened in shock as a black clad figure tossed the dark fabric behind itself and entered the battlefield.

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!

The…

UNSTOPPABLE…

DEADPOOL!

"WADE!?" Spider-Man shouted as he looked at the merc that was wearing a primarily-black and white version of his normal suit.

"I'm back bitches!" Deadpool shouted before turning around on his heel and blowing Death a kiss, both Nemesis and Spider-Man watched in shock as they saw Death turn away slightly bashfully. "Don't worry babe I got this one!" Deadpool said as he pulled out two pitch black Katanas that began to be enveloped in the black aura of Death. "Eat your heart out fan-boys…Getsuga…" Deadpool began as he slowly drew his blades back only to stop when his head was kicked off by an irate Spider-Man.

"Shut the hell up!" Spider-Man shouted in irritation. Deadpool's flying head suddenly disappeared in a black flash and reappeared on his body, which was still continuing the attack.

"Sword Slash!" Deadpool finished as Spider-man dived out of the way before he could be demolished by the two waves of energy that erupted from the blades. "What? I'm not trying to get sued!" Deadpool shouted as he turned to the readers. Deadpool turned around just in time to get Spider-Man's fist lodged into his face.

BGM: END

BGM: Comical World- Bleach OST

"What the hell do you think you're doing!?" Spider-Man shouted as Deadpool held his face in pain. Spider-Man grabbed the merc by his collar and began shaking him. "More importantly why didn't the web show me you were there!?"

"It did!" Deadpool shouted as he attempted punch Spider-Man whom simply stepped back to dodge the punch before slamming another fist into the merc's face. "Damn it Rebuke! Quit making me look bad! Anyway I was under the cloak the entire time, hanging on to my hot ass girl for dear life-err death!"

"…Why did you have him hanging off of you?" Spider-Man just had to ask Death who sighed.

"He insisted that he get to fight you despite my reasoning that the fight would be over in an instant…seems I was wrong."

"Enough talk! Let's go!" Deadpool shouted as he began slashing viciously at Spider-Man whom simply dodged each one expertly before ramming another blow at the merc, as this was going on Nemesis turned to Death with a small smirk.

"Mine's still winning."

Death just face-palmed harder.

"Hey wanna troll the readers?" Deadpool questioned as he slashed wildly at the hero.

"What?" Spidey asked in confusion as he caught the merc's arm and threw him across the battlefield.

"Cue overly dramatic and epic off-screen battle!"

-Mary Jane vs. Dark Annisia-

BGM: Red Like Roses Part II- Jeff Williams

*CLANG*

Annisia grinned viciously as she parried MJ's blades with her axes before booting the woman away. MJ gritted her teeth as wings sprung from her back, allowing her to recover in mid-air and glare down at her opponent. The world seemed devoid of color as the aura of death made itself more pronounced. The only things which seemed to have color were Annisia's cold blue eyes and Mary Jane's blood red hair.

MJ swooped down and the Witchblade created her a second demonic blade which she grasped tightly in her left hand before continuing her vicious onslaught. Annisia laughed as they fought before ducking under one of Mary Jane's attacks and attempting to behead the Empress. MJ gritted her teeth and leapt back just in time to avoid the attack. Annisia chuckled darkly as she looked down at her axe and raised it to eye level so she could see the strand of red hair that was cut off.

"Your hair is just like hers…the red string of fate that always calls out to me to complete my destiny." Annisia said darkly as she held her axes tighter. "To destroy the one who bears it." Annisia Declared as she suddenly reappeared in front of MJ with her axes raised high. MJ's muscles tensed as her eyes suddenly blazed red with rage as she parried the weapons with her own.

*BOOOOOOM!*

Annisia grinned as she saw the familiar berserk state that Sonja had so many centuries ago. That grin turned into a look of confusion as a red gem appeared on MJ's forehead before she was batted away across the battlefield nearly effortlessly with a force she had never encountered before. Annisia rolled on the ground for a moment before recovering and sliding back on her feet. She wiped the blood from her lip as the ground beneath MJ shattered from her presence alone.

"The power to wipe out armies…it's gotten stronger." Annisia muttered before grinning as the souls of those she's killed stood around her moaning in agony. "Unfortunately for you I've slaughtered armies and I am blessed by death!" Annisia shouted as the souls of the fallen flew into her body increasing her own power tremendously. "You will fall!" Annisia shouted as she dropped her axes before the death energy merged into a pitch black broad sword. Pitch black armor which showed her mid-drift surrounded her body as her eyes turned completely blue with power.

Here comes a new challenger…

Death Knight Annisia!

"Such power at my disposal…" Annisia muttered as she looked down at her body.

"It doesn't matter how strong you make yourself, I will always be stronger!" MJ declared as a pulse of pure power erupted from her body making the battlefield tremble.

"That may be…but how do you beat that which you cannot kill?"Annisia questioned as she slowly levitated off of the ground as pitch black butterflies encircled around her body before melding together into a pitch black hooded cloak that seemed to suck in any of the remaining light. "This age will soon vanish just like my own had…but this time it will be MY hand."

"Just what the hell do you want!? What is your goal? There is nothing for you to benefit from!"

"What I want…is to bring you to the very edge of your sanity and make you beg for mercy…just like Sonja did. You will be the one to pay for your predecessor's sins." Annisia said coldly.

Mary Jane blinked.

Annisia was gone.

She nearly collapsed from the overflowing feeling of dread as she turned around to find Annisia standing behind her. Mary Jane turned around and began slashing through the cackling woman viciously. Annisia simply laughed as she felt the blades tear through her body, each wound healed nearly instanteously. Cocking her right fist back, Annisia released a devastating blow to MJ's face that sent her sailing across the battle field. MJ coughed up blood as she forced her body to recover with a back flip…

*SCHTIK!*

…right into Annisia's blade.

Blood spilled from Mary Jane's mouth as she was lifted up from her feet when Annisia lifted the deadly weapon up. The pain was overwhelming for MJ as tears poured from her eyes as she weakly glanced back at Annisia's merciless eyes. MJ dropped her blade as she grasped weakly at the blade protruding from her chest.

"I see…you have Sonja's skill and more power than she had ever grasped, but you lack her pain resistance. In that area you are still a fragile woman." Annisia said with a cold smirk as she lowered MJ to the ground and freed her blade, as the Witchblade tried to frantically close the wound. Annisia placed her foot on top of the downed empress' head and hefted the blade onto her shoulder. "Do it, beg for forgiveness and I will spare your life."

BGM: END

MJ's body was reeling from the pain as she struggled to look at her wicked opponent. MJ's eyes widened slightly when she saw a single tear fall from the woman's right eye as she smirked coldly. Annisia gritted her teeth in anger as she wiped it away.

"G-Gwen…you have t-to f-fight her….y-you can do it…" MJ trailed off as her vision went black.

"Fool. You are too much like your predecessor; we are too far gone to be saved."

-Annisia's mind scape-

Annisia stood in a plain of screaming souls as a lake filled with black water lay behind her. So intoxicated with the feeling of victory, she never noticed the hand spring from the lake which was followed by the panting form of one pissed off Gwen Stacey.

-?-

MJ was flat on her back in complete darkness before flash of light made her look up weakly.

"[The Witchblade has become unbalanced once again; the darkness within it is trying to claim you.]" Joan of Arc said when she looked down upon MJ. The woman was speaking French, but MJ could understand her perfectly.

"Tell me…do I let this power consume me in order to save my loved ones?"

"[Do you have anyone you are willing to give your soul for?]" Joan questioned curiously. "[When this happened to me, I allowed myself to be burned at the stake to escape that fate. Though my role was complete and I had no one to call my own.]" MJ looked at the woman in shock at the revelation. "[What? Did you really think that if I bore the Witchblade I could ever be forced to death? No this was God's will and I played my part. Now it's your turn. I repeat do you have anyone you would give everything for.]"

May.

Peter.

Gwen

Natasha

Crimson Viper

Silver

Emora

…Sonja…

"Yeah…I think I do…" Mary Jane whispered making the Saint bark out a hearty laugh

"[Then what are you waiting for!?]" Joan questioned with a radiant smile. "[God's role for you is not done yet, let the darkness consume you but always keep those precious to you in your heart. They will be the light that will protect your soul from total consumption.]"

"I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. Even if I do get up everything is dead. The planet can't be saved…not this time."

"[Isn't it obvious?]" Joan questioned as she tilted her head. "[If you're going to die anyway then go down a legend. Be the one who slew Death. Mary Jane Watson…STAND UP!]"

BGM: Stand Up Be Strong Part II- Bleach OST

MJ slowly sat up as the darkness began to cover more and more of her body. She closed her eyes as she gave in to the dark presence.

-With Annisia-

The woman leapt back when an explosion of power erupted from the downed MJ.

*BOOOOOOOM*

The nation shook as Mary Jane stood up with her body covered with a formfitting pitch-black armor which left very little to the imagination. Black pooled in her sclera as her iris shone a bright red. The red gem of the Witchblade that was imbedded in her right hand shone brightly as a black metallic substance surrounded her power gem, forming a make-shift crown with large demonic horns.

Here comes a new challenger…

Dark Jane!

MJ looked at her hand impassively as the power gem increased the artifact's powers to unbelievable levels. Sonja's Hyrkanian blade appeared in her right hand and its golden aura burned red

"So you can still fight? Fine let's see what you can do!" Annisia challenged as she dashed forward and brought her blade down viciously upon MJ.

*Clink*

Annisia's eyes widened as her blade simply rested on MJ's armor. Mary Jane said nothing as she raised her left hand and flicked the woman on her forehead.

*KABOOOOOOM!*

Annisia felt as though her head had exploded as she flew backwards from MJ.

"Weak." MJ muttered as she turned away from the woman and began walking towards where she felt Death and Spider-Man. "The power I wield…you can't even FATHOM it. I am on an entirely different plane of existence when compared to you."

Annisia glared at the retreating form of MJ and quickly blasted forward and began to release a barrage of powerful slashes that made the ground tremble.

MJ kept walking.

Annisia felt her anger surge as all of her attacks seemingly did nothing but bounce off of the woman whom could even feel them.

"Who do you think you are!? Turn around and face me!" Annisia roared as for a moment MJ seemed to be replaced by Sonja in her eyes. "You think you're above me!? You are nothing!"

Still, MJ didn't even acknowledge her existence as she continued to walk away. The ground seemed to scream in agony with every step she took, and Annisia's eyes widened when she noticed that some of their surrounding began to deteriorate just from the red-head's presence.

"Why…why do you get this power? Why did Sonja leave her legacy to you? What makes you so damned special!?" Annisia questioned in outrage. "Why do you get such power for free!?"

MJ stopped walking.

"Free?" MJ repeated in a near whisper. "I've just given up any chance of happiness that I will ever have…and you think it was free?" MJ's voice was quiet and controlled but her rage was palpable. She had just condemned her soul and this bitch mocks her sacrifice? Annisia dropped her blade when her body suddenly froze as MJ manipulated the darkness within Annisia's body.

"W-what?" Annisia stuttered out in confusion which soon became a feeling of despair as MJ glanced back at her with a single blazing eye.

"Die."

Annisia could barely scream before her body was simply ripped asunder from the inside by black shadows.

"Tsk. You lived." MJ murmured before continuing her walk. "Doesn't matter, as long as you stay out of my way."

BGM: END

-With Spider-Man-

"Almighty Spider!" Spider-Man shouted as Deadpool cut through another after-image.

"Damn it!" Deadpool shouted as gold flashed slammed into him and before he knew it, he was bound to the ground by the Web of Life. Ah yes it was a truly magnificent battle between the two, quite possibly the greatest one in this story. The concept of came out countless times along with a myriad of allusions to the final fight of this story.

A magnificent battle.

Still Spider-Man stood tall.

"You actually beat me off-screen…go Spider-Man, go forth and save us all!" Deadpool declared heroically as a panting Spider-Man nodded his head in determination.

"OF course, Wade, of course." Spider-Man swore, they communicated their words through their fists like men. Never before had such a meaningful fight occurred and in the end their bond has strengthen tremendously, as far as Spider-Man was concerned they were brothers after that fight.

Deadpool is unable to continue…

Spider-Man vs. The Unstoppable Deadpool…

Spider-Man WINNSS!

Team Life: 2

Team Death: 0

"Word of advice while it was a good idea to get someone that could fight physically to face me…make sure they are actually better than me." Spider-Man drawled as he turned to face Death. His Exo-skeleton had finally faded away leaving Spider standing in just his Spider-Man pants and half of his Spider-Man mask with Deadpool's katana stabbing through his abdomen. Still, much to Death's annoyance, Nemesis still protected Spider-Man from her presence.

Spider-Man closed his eyes as the dark clouds suddenly parted as sunlight shone over him and the downed Deadpool. Gritting his teeth, Spider-Man ripped the blade free and tossed it behind him and webbed up his wound.

"You make a good point, still skill means nothing when you face someone with as much overbearing power as I-"

"Been doing a pretty good job of it so far."Spider-Man pointed out making Death scoff.

"I have yet to reveal my true form…my true power…because you simply cannot defeat this body." Spider-Man shrugged at her and crossed his arms. "Your plan to defeat me is impossible without Anansi's body.

"I'm the Great Weaver my back up plans, have back up plans." Spider-Man pointed out. "If I can't beat you I'll get someone else to do it."

"Like who?" Death challenged. "Could it be he finally noticed Nemesis-"

*SCHTIK!*

If Death could blink at the moment she would have as she looked down to find a blazing red blade sticking out through her chest.

"Me." MJ said coldly before ripping her blade up, slicing the entity all the way up through her head. Death's body fell forward as MJ stepped over it.

"Nice timing." Spider-Man said with an appreciative whistle. It was then that a weak Gaea appeared before stumbling forward weakly. "Bad timing." Spider-Man added as he caught the Elder god. "Hey Gaea, come on stay with us now."

"Spider-Man…I do not have much longer…please tell me…will your plan work?" Gaea questioned as Spider-Man set her down.

"It will, and you'll be there to see it but you have to hold on, just a little longer. Can you do that?"

"I'll try." Gaea said weakly as the planet continued to destroy itself. "Please, protect me."

"Of course! Did you forget who you are talking to?"

"The man who exploded me." Gaea said with weak smirk.

"You quipped me…you actually quipped me." Spider-Man said aghast. Gaea chuckled softly before closing her eyes with a smile.

"Who's left?" MJ questioned in confusion.

"Death. You just took down the first body in this boss battle, now…the real fight begins." Spider-Man said as they both looked up at a colossal Death.

"Nerd."

-Space-

"I GROW TIRED OF THESE GAMES!" Death roared as the planet simply rotated within her large hand. It was almost as if she were holding a marble. "THIS PLANET HAS ESCAPED ME ONE TOO MANY TIMES! ACCEPT MY EMBRACE!" Death shouted as she closed her hand.

-Earth-

"We're dead." MJ deadpanned. Spider-Man was going to respond when he heard someone land behind them. Turning around, MJ was greeted with an unexpected site.

"Huh, glad you could make it." Spider-Man greeted the newcomer.

"Now we can all die together." MJ said with a sigh.

Flashback: Minutes Earlier: Annisia's mind scape-

"How…How could I be defeated by that woman!?" Annisia questioned in outrage. The power that the red-head possessed completely trumped hers. "It's because of this damned body, it's still resisting me. When I have total control I will be able to utilize more of Death's power." It was then that she felt someone tap her shoulder. "What-"

*BAM*

Annisia's head snapped to the side when a fist collided in to her face.

"Give…me back…my damned body!" Gwen panted out tiredly. Annisia wiped some blood from her lip as she slowly turned her head back to Gwen.

"Not bad, but you have to lean more into it like this." Annisia said before ramming her fist into Gwen's face sending the younger blonde crashing back. Isn't this a pleasant surprise, you're actually trying to take control again, but I have access to all of your memories. There is nothing left for you, why waste your time?"

"Even if there isn't…no one else should suffer because of that!" Gwen said angrily making Annisia chuckle darkly.

"Shame, I had such high hopes for you." Annisia said as she snapped her fingers causing all of the souls to turn to her. "Destroy her, when I gain complete control of this body I will bring Sonja's heir down as well." Gwen closed her eyes as the souls of Annisia's victims leapt at her.

-?-

BGM: Pieces- Red

Gwen opened her eyes weakly when she noticed that she didn't feel any pain.

"What?" Gwen wondered as she looked around and found herself in her old bed that she used to have when she lived with her parents.

"You know Gwen you always were a fighter, that sure as heck was one mean right." A very familiar voice chuckled and she looked up to see her father sitting on the edge of her bed with a book in his hands. Tears filled her eyes, as she looked at the man.

"D-dad?"

"Still…" George continued as he turned to her with a smile. "You can't lose to her Gwen-you hear me- you just can't."

"How am I supposed to stop her? She's too strong!" Gwen shouted angrily.

"She may be stronger than you, but you're a pretty smart kid. Use your brain." George said as he ruffled her hair and handed her the book. "She has your memories, well you have hers. Learn from them; make them your weapon after all knowledge is power." George said before kissing her on her forehead and placing his gun on the nearby nightstand. "Make me proud Gwen, I love you." And with that George began to fade away.

"Dad? Wait don't go! I love you too!"

"I know." George said before disappearing. Gwen wiped her eyes as she looked down at the book.

"The Tale of Dark Annisia…" Gwen read the title aloud as she opened the books cover. The pages shone brightly her mind was suddenly filled with images and experiences that weren't hers from an Age that was long lost.

-With Annisia-

Annisia frowned when the souls suddenly exploded in a golden light as Gwen stood up with her father's gun held tightly in her right hand.

"Let's finish this Annisia." Gwen said with a glare making the woman smirk, always excited for a fight.

"Fine and don't worry, when I win and gain more of Death's power, I'll make sure that man you love's death is quick." Annisia chuckled as she dashed forward and stabbed her blade straight towards the younger blonde…

…only to completely and utterly miss when Gwen stepped to the side and pistol whipped her, making her stumble back slightly in shock.

"What?"

"You're not the only one that knows your style." Gwen said with a frown. "I've seen your memories and I've come to a realization…"

"And what realization is that?" Annisia questioned with a glare thought inwardly she was unnerved by the revelation that the younger woman had gone through her life.

"…You're pathetic." Gwen said honestly. "You're fueled by a pointless hatred towards a woman you used to view as a sister."

"Pointless?" Annisia repeated angrily. "Together we slaughtered countless innocent slaves forced to fight us and when we were free she turned her back on me and left me to wallow in my misery and guilt as she became worshipped by the masses. She destroyed our bond and refused to pay retribution for our sins!"

"No." Gwen denied as she shook her head. "You chose to go separate ways instead of staying with her, it is not her fault things happened the way they did. God knows there were probably times she needed a companion, but instead you just made things worse for her…"

"Shut up!" Annisia roared as she began to attack Gwen viciously only to miss every strike as her madness continued to take its toll on her psyche.

"…If you had showed any signs of wanting to join her she would have accepted you. You could have been better…happier…not once did she ever stop waiting for you to come to your sense, and you know that don't you?" Gwen continued as she easily avoided the sloppy swordswoman. "Even now when she's dead, I bet her soul is still waiting for you to come to your damned senses!"

"I told you to be silent!" Annisia said as she over extended one of her attacks allowing Gwen to slip passed her guard and trip her.

"Your life was not a good one Annisia but you need to move on, or you will never rest in peace." Gwen said before releasing a long sigh. "This is why you're weak, obsessed over a bond that you yourself destroyed…never accepting responsibility for your actions, jealousy, pride, and madness are all things that led you to ruin." Gwen then gave the woman a sad smile.

BGM: END

BGM: Got to win- Sword Art Online OST

"Thank you."

Now that shocked Annisia as she looked up at the blonde in confusion.

"I was so close to ending up like you, when I came back I was angry with myself and the world and just wanted everything to disappear. Now looking at you and seeing what I could have become…it has set me straight. We are human; solitude is what makes us weak; it's only when we have people that we love that we are truly strong."

Gwen thought of the good old days when she, Peter and Mary Jane were best friends despite hers and Mary Jane's rivalry for Peter.

Even Annisia thought of the times she was caged of with Sonja and they would trade stories.

"That is also the reason why I can't lose to you." Gwen continued with her own glare. "I need to get back to them."

"I…see…" Annisia grabbed her blade slowly. "Then let's test your theory on strength…let's finish this right now." Annisia met Gwen's glare as they stared at each other in a tense silence. Then as if reacting to an unheard signal, Annisia rolled to her feet.

*SHING*

*Click*

*BANG!*

Gwen released a shaky breath as blood dripped down from a cut on her right cheek courtesy of Annisia's blade.

*Thump*

Annisia's blade fell from her hands as blood pooled from her mouth. The warrior grasped weakly at her chest, just over her heart, as blood spilt from the gunshot wound. Gwen caught the woman's falling body and helped her to the ground.

Tears fell from the warriors eyes causing her war paint to smudge. Annisia's vision went black before she suddenly found herself surrounded by nothing but the color white. In front of her was a smiling Sonja whom held out her hand. Annisia accepted it with a bitter smile of her own.

"Beautiful….be better than me..." Annisia coughed out as Gwen looked down at the woman whom suddenly shattered like glass. Gwen released a startled gasp as Annisia's power flowed through her before seemingly doubling within her body.

Flashback: END

Spider-Man and Mary Jane were looking at a frowning Gwen who was now looking up at the colossal form of Death. She was wearing a pitch black duster, a black tank top, and black cargo pants with matching leather boots. Her hair was let down and fell in front of her shoulders and there were two black butterflies on both sides of her black hairband. Annisia's war paint still graced her face, however.

"I've been back for less than a week and had more attempts on my life than ever." Gwen muttered as she looked over towards Spider-Man. "So…now what?"

"First you need something to fight with." Spider-Man trailed off as he walked to the bound Deadpool and stole the merc's now demonic pistols before tossing them to Gwen. The blonde caught the guns easily and looked down at them. They appeared to be two pitch black Colt Anaconda revolvers though the backs of the guns around the hammers were shaped like skulls. "Now we get ready for my plan to go to its final stage, follow me!"

-Space-

Spider-Man, Mary Jane, and Gwen stood on a large golden spider-web and looked at death.

"YOU FOOLISH MORTALS WILL FALL!" Death boomed as she closed her hand over the planet and turned to face the three individuals. "WHERE IS YOUR PLAN NOW FOOLISH LITTLE WEAVER!?"

Gaea…Dead

Team Life: 2

Team Death: 1

"You must be dumb as hell if you thought we would be the ones to fight you when you revealed yourself!" Spider-Man shouted with a laugh. "Time for my plan to reach its ending…and ending where my ideal future is intact!"

"WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE YOU SPEAK-"Death stopped as she felt a powerful pulse of energy erupt from the planet that was in her grasp. Golden energy could be seen escaping her fist and she quickly removed her grasp as the strange light burned her. Earth broke apart, revealing a golden light in the place of its core.

"Word of advice, you could be playing an entire game of chess with nothing but queens on your side, but your advantage would mean nothing if I am always ten-no-TWENTY steps ahead of you!" Spider-Man shouted. "It doesn't matter how powerful you are, I will still find a way to make you fall if it will keep my loved ones safe! No matter what the cost."

The energy began pulsing creating waves of light that made Death retreat as her face contorted in pain.

"Agh! W-WHAT IS THIS!?"

"What the hell did you do Peter?" MJ questioned as Gwen looked on in confusion.

BGM: Beauty of Destiny- Persona 4 The Animation OST

"Death thought that Gaea was dying from her aura when the truth is…she was dying already."Spider-Man revealed shocking those who heard him as he gazed up at Death. "I can use Nemesis' power to protect me from your power and I have already proven myself able to avoid you…so why would I sleep with Gaea in order to use Anansi's Exo-skeleton if I didn't need it? The reason Gaea is dead…is because she gave birth to a god much more powerful than her."

"YOU DAMNED MORTAL! YOU THINK I WILL BE DEFEATED BY SOME HALF-MORTAL BASTARD!?" Death question enraged as she went to grab them. "DIE!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOM*

MJ and Gwen shielded their eyes as their hair was blown back from the force of they had colliding into something.

Here comes a new challenger…

Zoe, Goddess of Life

(LIAG Helpful Info: Zoe is the Greek word for Life, temporal or eternal)

Spider-Man didn't budge as a large nude woman with long brown hair and shockingly blue eyes stood before him and blocked Death's hand nearly effortlessly.

"A mortal's heartbeat is but a single beat in the song of life, the most musical piece of music in the universe, a sad but glorious song that is unique for every living being…why…" Zoetrailed off as bright blue tears cascaded down her face. "Why did you silence their songs…such beautiful music?" Zoe asked innocently as her voice resounded with sadness. Four golden spider legs ripped from her back as she flew up and held a hand out towards Death. "WHY!?" Zoe roared as she released a pulse of golden energy at the entity.

"AHHH!" Death screamed in agony as she felt as though she were being burned alive. The newly born goddess' very presence seemed to cause nothing but agony to Death. Hundreds upon hundreds of light blue tears fell from Zoe's eyes and each droplet flew towards the entity. Each droplet felt like the most corrosive acid to the entity.

"I don't understand, what's happening?" Gwen questioned making Spider-Man turn back to her.

"Death has dominion over us because we all die at some point or at least have the potential to die. Because of that, a simple touch of Death can kill anyone should she want us to die…but look at Death Gwen…even Death lives." Spider-Man said with a tired sigh. "Death simply can't embrace life, though at the same time life needs Death in order to have meaning."

"The song of life…" MJ repeated what she heard the goddess say. "We're the instruments, the rhythm, and the lyrics…but Death is the chorus."

"Exactly." Spider-Man said with an approving nod.

"So what? We let them battle it out for eternity? Is this how everything ends?" Gwen questioned in confusion. Spider-Man chuckled as he cracked his neck.

"Hell no. Goddess or not, that's still my little girl out there!" Spider-Man said as he crossed his arms. "We wait until Death slips up and end's this. She's one wrong move away from checkmate."

"ENOUGH!" Death roared as she raised her hands and formed a growing sphere of nothing but death. The size of the sphere was unimaginable; it was as if her very essence were poured in to it. When she threw the attack she reverted back to human size and panted tiredly as she looked forward at it.

To Zoe it looked as if she were now pushing back a pitch black wall the blocked everything in front of her from sight. Zoe winced as she struggled to force back the attack. The memories her mother had imparted on to her flashed through her mind. The joy of the mortals, the beauty of earth, the laughter the utter joy…the beauty of life flashed through her mind as she was pushed backwards. Inwardly she knew just because she was part mortal, it didn't mean she was weaker than Death.

The attack stopped cold.

Zoe smirked.

If anything…the desperation to survive…made her stronger. Light exploded from her body as her spider-legs stabbed into the ball of death. The more she wanted to live the stronger she felt. Thanks to being part mortal she had no limits, no rules to follow, she simply lived. That's all that was expected of her.

-?-

In a plane of absolute nothingness man whose body seemed to be made of the very universe itself hunched over and released a scream of agony.

"Now, now, Eternity. It'll be over soon I'll admit I thought death could do this quickly…Spider-Man definitely is an interesting little weaver isn't he?" Stan questioned as Eternity rolled his eyes.

(LIAG MINI- BREAKDOWN: Eternity is an abstract, relatively omnipotent entity representing all time and reality in the universe. Eternity has been around before the beginning of the universe. He is every living thing and every living thing is him.)

-With Death-

Death looked around in confusion as she found herself surrounded by golden web-lines, looking up she found herself kneeling before Spider-Man and an irate MJ and Gwen as what looked like all of Spider-Man's companions stared on from the side lines. She even saw a still tied up Deadpool lying on his side as Lady Deadpool and Outlaw used him as a make-shift chair as Kidpool kept kicking the man in his kidneys.

"Welcome to the Web of life. Here, your powers are irrelevant I'm afraid." Spider-Man said with mock sadness. "This is my domain…" Spider-Man said as he gestured around him before his peeled of revealing his eyes to be burning with golden energy as he glared at her. Both MJ and Gwen gritted their teeth as they glared at the entity. Gae Bolg was shining brightly in MJ's right hand as her irises burned red while Gwen aimed her guns at the woman as her eyes shone a vibrant blue."…and these are our rape faces." Death froze as she found her hands bound by the web.

…it was a very bad time to be Death.

Deadpool winced as he looked at his lover get hit by three rank five hyper combos.

Death is unable to continue…

Spider-Man vs. Death…

SPIDER-MAN WINS-wait? What? He fucking won? How the hell…fuck it never mind.

BGM: END

-With Zoe-

Zoe stood tiredly as she finally destroyed the ball of Death only to look around and find herself totally alone.

"…Father?" Zoe questioned apprehensively. "Where are you? Father?" She was beginning to get worried but calmed down when she heard a familiar song enter her ears. She released a sigh and smiled when she heard his heartbeat. She sighed in relief before shrinking down to the size of an average human so she could speak to him.

"Don't worry, I'm here, I'm here." Spider-Man reassured her as he gave her a hug. "I'm so proud of you. Your mom would be too."

"Mother?" Zoe repeated before releasing a sad sigh. "I only heard it for a moment, but her song was the most beautiful of them all…I'd give anything to hear it again."

"You can hear it again." Spider-Man revealed. "You can hear all of the songs lost today again, but you have to believe in yourself." Spider-Man then stepped to the side and her eyes widened when she saw Gaea's lifeless body floating in the void of space. "If you want something, reach out for it, make the effort."

BGM: Halo- Beyoncé

Zoe slowly released her father and floated down to pick up her mother bridal style.

"Mother…" Zoe whispered to herself as she looked at the Elder God's lifeless form.

"Just…follow your instincts honey." Spider-Man called out. Zoe held her mother tightly as she felt a rush of emotions surge through her. Spider-Man and those within the web watched in a stunned silence as a golden beam of light connect to each of her spider legs, forming a large halo of light behind her. Zoe closed her eyes as she and her mother we're engulfed by a pillar of light. Billions upon billions of bright blue tears fell from her eyes as the broken shards of earth began to fit themselves back together.

-Earth-

A single tear drop fell onto one of the corpses and nearly instantly life returned to it and all of its injuries were healed. It was like that for the entire population that had lost their lives in the conflict.

-With Spider-Man-

Spider-Man teleported into the pillar of light and held the women as he concentrated on Nemesis' reality gem. His control over the gem was completely amplified by Zoe's presence and soon all of the building and homes began to reset themselves.

*Gasp*

Gaea's eyes snapped open as the life began returning to her. She looked up in confusion only to find herself in an embrace by her daughter and her daughter's father.

"Welcome back." Peter said with a warm smile as Zoe's tears increased in their amount as she cried in joy as the most beautiful song once again played through her ears. The droplets scattered all through-out the stars as she held her mother tighter.

-With Eternity-

"Amazing…"Eternity muttered as he looked down at his chest, ironically Earth originated just where his heart would be if he we're human. Small blue particles of light began to course throughout his very being and he had never felt so at peace as he did in that moment.

"Peter…Parker…" Stan muttered before chuckling, his chuckling turned into a booming laughter. "HAHAHAHA! You are an interesting one! I'll be waiting for you at the top!"

-With Peter-

"And I'll be ready." Peter thought in determination but for now, he simply held on to a now weeping Gaea and Zoe as for once absolute peace echoed throughout the universe. A few tears slipped from his eyes at the intense amount of love that flowed through his body. His tantric reserves we're even refilled instantly.

For that day…

…in the entire universe…

..all throughout Eternity's body…

…there was not a single death.

-Earth-

Jessica led the heroes out of the web of life and they all gazed up at the sight of Gaea, Zoe, and Spider-Man decending back to earth.

"J...Just what is that man?" Death asked weakly as she was being carried away fire-man style by Talon.

"Amazing." Talon muttered before dropping her like a sack of potatoes. Jessica tossed Deadpool next to Death and stepped back as Spider-Man finally landed with the women. They all stepped away when Zoe walked towards Death quietly.

"What do you want? To kill me? You can't kill Death." Death muttered weakly as the woman knelt next to her with a smile and placed a hand over the entity's chest, making Death wince in pain.

"I want to her your song." Zoe said quietly as a single tear fell from her right eye and landed on Death making her scream in agony as the powerful droplet began to spread over her entire body after it landed on her.

Suddenly the screams stopped.

*Ba-dump*

Zoe gasped lightly as a wonderful sounder entered her ears joining the other myriad of melodies.

"Beautiful." Zoe murmured

Death's body jerked up and she trembled as she looked down at her now flesh covered hands. This wasn't the usual transformation she normally used.

This was real.

She looked up incredulously at the blue eyed woman whom simply smiled at the now raven haired Death. Confused black eyes mixed with serene blue ones as Death tried to figure out what was going on.

"What did you do?" Death whispered in horror.

"I fixed an old instrument." Zoe said serenely as she stood up.

BGM: END

"And…my powers? My immortality?"

"Still there, though now you will understand the significance of life." Zoe said softly before her eyes turned cold, which went unseen by the onlookers, as she leaned closer so only Death could hear her. "End either of my parent's songs early again, and there will be no one to go to, no where you can hide, that will allow you to escape my wrath. As long as your heart beats, you are my bitch got that? Don't even think of killing yourself t won't work." Zoe said venomously, so much malice filled her words that even Death couldn't repress a flinch. Zoe's expression suddenly morphed into that of an innocent young woman when a concerned Gaea approached them. "Promise me okay?" Zoe asked sweetly.

Death learned right then and there that life could be a bitch.

"I promise." Death agreed with a weak nod as terror filled her body when she realized that she had been inflicted with an Immortality curse like her lover.

"Are you okay Zoe?" Gaea questioned in concern.

"Yes mother, let's go to father I want to get to know you both and thank you for birthing me." Zoe said with a smile.

"Believe me, it should be us to thank you!" Gaea said with a laugh as she led her daughter away. Death watched them walk away apprehensively and stiffened when Zoe glanced back at her coldly.

["Say one word…"] Zoe mouthed to the entity as she let the unsaid threat hang in the air before smiling brightly again when Gaea asked her something.

Natasha, Viper, and Silver approached Mary Jane carefully when they noticed she hadn't powered down. Natasha couldn't put her finger on it but it seemed as though the woman she has saw as a little sister had lost part of herself.

"Mary-"

"Let's go." The empress interrupted stoically as she turned away from the assassin. "We need to calm down our citizens and then get ready; we have a long series of matches coming up. Failure is not an option." MJ said coldly and Natasha narrowed her eyes as the woman's words seemed to have an unspoken threat within them. "Win or be crushed beneath my heel."

Okay…the threat wasn't unspoken.

Natasha was going to say something when a hand grabbed her shoulder, she glanced back to see Spider-Man shaking his head. She turned back to the empress to find she had already disappeared.

"What the hell was that Peter?" Natasha questioned with a glare.

"The power is corrupting her but don't worry, she will be even better than she was before when it's time for our match." Spider-Man explained seriously. "Until my failsafe is finished, try to endure her fall from grace…but do not misunderstand me when it becomes too much you get the hell out of there…all of you." Spider-Man said to the other rulers with no small amount of seriousness. Natasha clenched her fists tightly in anger.

"Why does it seem as though life is against them reuniting?" Natasha wondered in confusion. The closer Peter and MJ got the harsher life became.

She just hoped that after all of this crap was done with, those two could actually have their happy ending.

-Temple of the Great Weaver: Inner sanctum-

*BOOOOM!*

Peter crashed to his knees as he held his shoulder which was now bleeding profusely. He gritted his teeth in pain as he used his control over Nemesis' powers to heal his arm.

"B-better, you're almost at your full potential." Peter said with a weak grin to a brown haired woman whom had hazel eyes.

*SHTIK!*

She stabbed her bandage covered blade into the ground in order to support herself as she two fell to her knees in exhaustion. The entire sanctum looked like a battle field and in between herself and Peter there was a large fissure.

"It's been a year since you left your team to train with me." Peter said as he stood up and walked towards the exhausted woman. "I have taught you everything I know from my morals to my fighting style. You learnt quickly, even quicker than my last pupil. Soon…you will be ready to take that which is rightfully yours." Peter said with a cold smirk as his eyes burned with golden flames. "Now my apprentice…"

"Y-yes…master..?"" The woman asked exhausted, every muscle in her body screamed in agony.

"Rise…" Peter said sinisterly.

"Master?"

"Yes my apprentice?"

"Stop watching Star Wars."

"Aww…you gotta admit it I had the evil mentor thing going on perfectly." Peter chuckled as she rolled her eyes.

To Be Continued…

Who is Peter's secret apprentice?

What is he training her for?

Will Team Amazing stand above Arachnophobia?

Who lives, Chun-Li or Juri Han?

Why am I asking you all of this?

Find out next time!

"I'M BACK BITCHES!"

Son of a bitch…

"You know you missed me!"

Shut up…on to the Omakes!

Omake 1: Spider-Man Training Days part 3 (Evangelion)

Spider-Man looked around in confusion as he found himself standing in what looked like Tokyo.

"Okay I definitely went too far East in the multiverse." Spider-Man muttered. "Just where the hell am I?"

*THOOOOOOM!*

Spider-Man gaped as a large purple, neon green, and orange humanoid robot landed down the street and seemed to be battling some strange demonic monster.

"I…is that Unit 01?" Spider-Man wondered before shaking his head and stepping back. "Oh nononono-hell no. Uh-uh, fuck this place." Spider-Man said as he turned around and left the world. "Things will work out in the end for them anyway."

At least that's what he told himself to feel better.

OMAKE: END

Omake 2: Spider-Man Training Days part 4 (Sword Art Online)

"Son of a bitch, how do I get back to the west? Anansi didn't have the decency to give me a damn manual with his powers?" Spider-Man muttered as he found himself standing in what looked like a town square. "Where am I now?"

"[Oh my God no way!? A Spider-Man costume? Where the hell did he find that!?]" He heard someone nearby exclaim in disbelief.

"[He must have found an Easter Egg…the lucky bastard…]"

"[Maybe it was a preorder bonus.]"

"Right…" Spider-Man thought with a sigh. He shook his head as he turned around to leave…

…only to realize that he couldn't.

"The…hell, why can't I leave?" Spider-Man questioned himself apparently a little too loudly as a kid with short black hair and black eyes that was wearing a pretty epic black jacket turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow along with his female companion.

"[What did he say?]" The male asked as the girl looked at Spider-Man in confusion.

"[I think he asked why he couldn't leave…could he be a new player? Or maybe he hit his head or something.]"

"[I'm sorry, could you explain?]" Spider-Man asked in confusion, shocking them with his knowledge in their language.

"[This is a video game called Sword Art Online…you can't log out until someone beats the game by reaching the top floor, the Ruby Palace. If you are killed in the game you will die.]" The girl explained slowly as if he should have known that.

"[I…see exactly what floor did you all reach so far?]"

"[Now we are on the 61st floor. We've been at this for nearly two years now.]" The male explained. "[My Name is Kirito and this is Asuna.]"

For some reason the boy reminded him of Laura.

"[I see thanks for the information, I'll see you around I guess.]" Spider-Man shrugged as he began walking away.

"[Hey! Wait where are you going?]" Asuna asked incredulously as she noticed where he was walking.

"[To floor 100 where else?]" Spider-Man asked in confusion. "[I have things to do, and I can't be stuck in a video game.]"

"[But you'll die!]"

"["I'll have you know I kicked ass in WOW back when I had time to actually play it. It's been a long time since I had the chance to pull an all-nighter on a game…you really do miss the little things."]" Spider-Man mused with a laugh.

"[Come on let's stop that idiot before he gets himself killed!]" Kirito said making his wife nod as they chased after the costumed hero. "[He doesn't even have a weapon!]"

-Thirty minutes later: Ruby Palace: 100th floor-

A man with red armor and a giant shield that had a red cross on it sat boredly on a crimson throne.

" I wonder how long it will be before someone finally comes to challenge me…it will probably be a few more years-"

"WEB-SWING!"

*BOOOOOM!*

The man blinked in shock as the doors blasted open when Spider-Man crashed through with a stunned Kirito and Asuna on his shoulders.

"[W-what?]" The man finally got out as the teens released Spider-Man and blatantly gaped at the hero.

"[So you must be the final boss.]" Spidey muttered as he cracked his knuckles. "[This will be fun.]" Spider-Man fired a web-line at the surprised man's shield and snatched it to him. "[First rule, take out the boss' defense.]" Spidey chuckle as he threw the shield behind him.

"[H-Heathcliff…? I can't believe it was you…you betrayed us all!]" The girl shouted in anger.

"[Listen, I'm sure you have issues with this guy…but I really have to leave so…" Spider-Man trailed off as he grabbed Kirito by the back of his jacket. "[I really hope you know how to use those swords.]" Kirito was confused as he was lifted off of the ground and suddenly found himself being thrown at the stunned villain at impossible speeds.

Luckily his reaction time was good enough that he manage to pull out his blades and recover in mid-air before attacking the man at viciously at extreme speeds. Within moments the 'boss' was gone.

Fireworks could be heard in the distance as the game announced that it had been won.

"[Good work Laura II!]"

"[I…I can't believe this just actually happened.]" The girl said in shock. Tears filled her eyes as she realized that the hell had actually ended. "[How can we ever-]" Asuna stopped when she noticed Spider-Man had disappeared.

"[…So how do we explain that we won because of Spider-Man? Nobody is going to believe that especially since he's gone.]" Kirito said as the girl rubbed her temples.

"[Let's just pretend this didn't happen. If anyone asks you had an overly dramatic fight and we barely got out alive.]"

"[Agreed.]"

OMAKE: END

-OMAKE 3: Spider-Man Training Days part 4 (Ultimate Spider-Man Cartoon)

"Well at least I'm back west." Spider-Man muttered as he found himself standing in the streets of New York.

"Come on man, really? You couldn't be a little original?" A voice questioned and Spider-Man turned to find himself staring at…

…himself.

The fuck?

"Who are you supposed to be anyway pal?" The younger Spider-Man questioned.

"Me? I'm just your friendly dimension hopping Spider-Man!" Spider-Man introduced himself making the younger hero shake his head before turning to the audience.

"Where do these people come up with these things?" Spider-Man questioned the readers before turning back to his counterpart.

"What the hell was that!?" The older Spidey questioned in confusion.

"What?"

"Don't act like I didn't just see that who the hell we're you talking to?"

"No idea, what you're going on about bro." The older Spider-Man was going to reply but settled for shaking his head and counting down from ten. The older man opened up another portal, much to the younger Spider-Man's shock, and began to walk towards it.

"You know what? I don't need this. Everything seems to be fine here and as long as you remember the tiers everything will continue to be okay." The older man said as he placed one leg into the portal.

"…what are tiers?"

The older man froze.

…Slowly the older Spider-Man turned his head back towards the brat wearing his costume and stepped back out of the portal.

"You and I…are going to have a long talk."

! Spider-Sense: Oh boy what did you get your ass into this time?!

The younger Spider-Man's spider-sense made itself known as the older man seemed to tower over him.

-Later-

The younger Spider-Man could now be seen sitting on his bed as he contemplated his life.

The ultimate Spider-Man learned a lot of things that afternoon.

Like apparently staying the hell away from tier fifteen.

Still when his counterpart left after a very quick, very heartfelt, and very intense training session, he couldn't help but feel as though he was ready to be a better Spider-Man…not an ultimate one, but an Amazing one.

But first thing was first.

Spider-Man pulled off the web-shooters SHIELD gave him and destroyed them. He then reached under his bed and pulled out his old trusty web-shooters and strapped them on his wrists.

"Welcome home." Spidey chuckled before pulling out his cellphone and calling Nick Fury. "Hey Nick? Yeah I'm quitting the team have Power Man lead it. What? No I'm not crazy but it's pointless-listen I don't give a damn how many rodeos you've been too-what- keep that damn bike, I'm Spider-Man why did I even use it!? Oh yes, you're training sessions which hasn't increased my skill at ALL and have done nothing but waste time I could be using to save people. That's enough Nick, I'm out." Spider-Man said resolutely as he hung up.

Well tomorrow was going to be interesting to say the least.

Reviews:

GumGumOnigiri: I agree with you on everything you said minus the one true love part. I personally believe its MJ considering just how much crap they've gone through together and still stuck through it. Hell they would still be together if MJ didn't do what she thought was right for Peter. But yeah, Sin's Past was pointless.

Koryandrs: Taking that as a compliment.

Dracconnis: OMG!

OOplimpOO: Lol Thank you, sorry about the tears and I might be thinking of it…

Fablesrogue: "I loved my game too bro." Shut up Wade. Lol glad to hear you both enjoyed it, and as for the invisible baby thing…remember the glimpse into Peter's ideal future? The blonde boy wasn't Franklin.

Wiggles-n-stuff: "I'm still here man!" GTFO Wade! I hoped you would like the Carol part and thanks for the advice I'll try not to! As for the short wedding…yup…Laura and Jubes both had their priorities in check for that one.

Selias: Knew I'd make a believer out of you eventually.

Rakjo: No problem man, it was a good idea that I'm glad you shared. As for why go to DC, Wade figured it was as good of a time as any to go ask Lois out for coffee…now if only he could find how to get there.

Malix2: thanks!

ShadowBloodedge9396: Lol epic review and yeah that's exactly how the One's thoughts went lol. "My Chronicles continue!" STFU Wade!
