Why did Ero appear during the tier ten fight? Find out...NOW!
DLC 1: Ero-Reign
-Dawn of the Marvel Universe-
A black haired man with bright golden eyes stood in a plain of white impassively.
"I believe I've been alone for enough, solitude is so boring." The man drawled as he stretched his arms. "What is eternal life without entertainment?" The man questioned himself. "Now where should I start?" The man asked as he raised his hand. "Oh I know!"
*Snap*
*CRASH*
The man smiled as a man made of solid gold appeared before him. The being's head had more than one face and was floating above its body.
"Who…who am I?" The being questioned curiously.
"Hmm, I suppose I'll call you The Living Tribunal." The man mused.
"Who…who are you? What is my purpose?"
"Me? I suppose you can call me Father." The man said as he extended his hand. "As for your purpose? Really whatever I want."
"I see." The Living Tribunal said as he accepted the man's hand.
*FLASH!*
Both beings blinked as they saw a single golden thread appear in the white plain. The thread glowed slightly for a moment before splitting in two and connected to both of their chests.
"Oh?" The man questioned curiously as the thread began to spin itself into a cocoon and before long two hands ripped free from the cocoon revealing a woman made of a mysterious golden energy her hair was short and she had one bright blue eye and one blazing red one. The woman fell to her knees with obvious exhaustion before looking up at both of them men with an innocent look of pure confusion. "Who might you be dear?"
"I…I don't know, yet I know you two or more like I know what you've been through. Such loneliness…such sadness…" The woman whispered quietly as she held herself. The man frowned as he felt her pain wash over him. It was great enough to send Tribunal to his knees.
"Of course, he is but a baby." The man thought before kneeling before the woman and lifting her chin up with his index finger. "You interest me…you know, despite not knowing where you came from, I think I'll keep you around." The man said with a gentle smile making her look up at him with something akin to awe. Inwardly however, he felt a slight pang of something that may have been fear. He had tried to erase her at least one hundred times since she appeared to no avail. His best option was to make her believe to be at his mercy and hope she did not interfere with his plans.
At this point in time it occurred to The One Above All that he may not exactly be above all after all.
-Eons Later-
"Web, come quick you must see my marvelous new creation!" The One Above All shouted making the golden woman sigh.
"I swear to you, if it's as stupid as those slime creatures you showed me I am not speaking to you for a millennia." The woman drawled as she teleported to the man's location. The One Above All looked absolutely giddy as he held out his cupped hands as soon as she appeared and showed her…
…wait what the hell was that?
"What am I looking at exactly?" The Web questioned. The creature was small, impossibly small, with eight legs and eight eyes.
"I call it, wait for it, a Spider!" The man said with a grin making her stare at him with half-lidded eyes. "It's the anniversary of your creation and since Tribunal is tired of my gifts I spent my time making yours. I remembered how much you like the number eight so I made this."
"That's a sweet gesture." The Web said and it was but she knew this man. He never could make life without giving it some special power. "What does it do?"
"That's the best part!" The man grinned and as if that were a cue, she watched with wide eyes as the Spider descended from the man's palms and began to spin a web. "I don't know where exactly I'm going to put it though."
"It's beautiful." The woman whispered quietly before pressing her lips to his making the man blink at the odd but oddly comforting gesture.
"What was that?" The One Above All questioned curiously.
"I call it a kiss." The Web said softly as her blue eye seemed to shine brighter.
"I see. Well as long as we're experimenting, would you mind if I try to add something more to this?" The man asked as he picked her up, his eyes glimmering with mischief.
"Oh please do." The Web grinned.
-The Next Day-
Ero woke up and stretched as she found herself floating in the middle of space. She winced as she felt an unbearable pain in her lower body. Glancing to one side she saw The One Above All looking at her in amusement which instantly put a chill down her spine. She heard a light snoring next to her and slowly turned to find herself face to face with a slumbering black haired woman with pale skin.
"Who in your name am I looking at?" The Web questioned awkwardly.
"Our Daughter. How you slept through labor I'll never know. It actually looked quite painful." The One Above All said with a shrug.
"Ah. Well that explains why I cannot stand at the moment." The Web said awkwardly. When the man had first told her about his creation of labor she thought he was a sadistic asshole. Now she knows she was right. "What's her name and purpose?"
"Death and her purpose is to end life." The One Above All said seriously. "After all eternal life takes away from both the meaning and beauty of life."
"Ah yes, the meaning of life the thing you have yet to explain to me." The Web said with barely held contempt. She prided herself to be the wisest entity, but even she could not understand life and in turn began to hate its concept. Did The One Above All create it and if so where did he come from? Where did she? Questions like this haunted her dreams.
"You will figure it out one day." The man said simply, but his condescending tone made her glance away with her red eye burning brightly.
-Thousands of Years later-
The One Above All was not one to be troubled easily however his current situation easily warranted his caution. The Web had become unbalanced. Somehow over the last few thousand years her natural balance of love and chaos had begun to shift. She slowly grew crueler and colder and it was becoming apparent that if he did not act soon war would soon be among them. He knew what her problem was, they all did.
She did not understand life.
In hindsight he should have probably just told her but now if he had to tell her such a simple answer she might snap and plunge them all into disarray.
"Father." A feminine voice called out making him turn to face the skeletal form of his daughter. "I bring you both good knew and bad news."
"What is the good news?"
"Gaea has agreed to wipe out those lizards of hers in order to provide room for those humans you love so much." Death said with obvious distaste. "She has also agreed to keep an eye out for mother in case her condition worsens."
"That's good, and the bad news?"
"Mother has killed Nemesis." Death said with a sigh making The One Above All look at her in shock. "She couldn't take sister's whining about being alone much longer and broke her down by manipulating her in to committing suicide, her soul has been split into seven parts which I am barely able to keep alive."
"Damn. Give them to me." The man muttered as Death handed over seven orbs which he assumed were the fragments of his daughter's soul. Taking a moment to think he encased them into seven gems and handed them back to Death. "Scatter these, there's no telling what would happen if one of my creations could get their hands on even a fraction of Nemesis' power."
"Understood. Also if you do not mind me asking, why not simply kill mother if she is this much of a risk?"
"I honestly couldn't if I wanted to my dear." The One Above all sighed he prayed that this could all work out one day.
-Centuries later-
Gaea walked into the realm of the Web of Life with a young dark-skinned male behind her.
"Mother why are we here?" The young man asked quietly.
"Silence Anansi, you are about to be given a most important task."
"Well, well…what do we have here?" Gaea instantly knelt down and beckoned her son to do the same as the Web descended upon them.
"Web, I have brought you my son. He shall be your new champion. My own responsibilities have prevented me from helping you to my fullest extent. However to him, you are his sole purpose."
"I see." The Web muttered as she looked the young man up and down. "You give me a child to do an adult's job? You are of no further use to me." The Web said as four golden spider legs ripped from its back and raced towards the kneeling Gaea.
"NO!"
*CRASH!*
The Web blinked with slight surprise as Anansi parried her attack with four spider-legs of his own. The young man glared at the impassive woman whom slowly began to smirk.
"Oh such passion. I like you." The Web said before turning to a fearful Gaea. "Be gone. I have no further use of you." The Elder God nodded before turning to her son.
"Remember what I taught you." Gaea murmured before disappearing leaving Anansi alone with his new domain.
["Anansi, I have never felt this much love and pride for any of my children. You must always remember that though your heart is great, your mind is your biggest asset. I love you my son."]
"Tell me boy, what can you do for me that your mother couldn't?"
"Not to be prideful but my intelligence is nothing to ignore." Anansi said calmly though his heart pounded loudly in his chest. "I do believe I can lead you to the answer that alludes you so."
"That's a bold claim."
"I'm a bold man." Anansi countered.
"Oh this will be the start of a beautiful relationship." The Web smirked.
-Centuries later-
"I want to make a wager." Anansi said suddenly one day making The Web turn to him with a quirked eyebrow.
"Oh?"
"You claim that the only thing in life that is guaranteed is Death and Chaos, correct?" Anansi said curiously.
"That's because it is boy. You have not seen the things I have, lived as long as I have. Those are the only guarantees in this thing called life."
"Well I do not believe that. I believe in a thing called love."
"Oh? Tell me how that is working out for you, didn't you lose your woman due to a deal with that fool Mephisto?" The Web sneered but to his credit, Anansi didn't even flinch nor rise to the bait.
"I can guarantee you that if you give the part of you that still believes in love life; it will figure out the meaning before you do. The answer is right in front of you but you are blinded by your own vices."
"You try to weaken me boy? You will half my power at least if I separate the part of me that still loves."
"Oh but I thought love did not matter? If you ask me you'll only become stronger." Anansi said making the Web sneer at him. "You won't even have to get rid of the power just the mentality. Separate the part of your mind that still believes in love and I will show you what life truly means. For that weak part of you will soon be far stronger than you with nothing but the power of love."
"Tch. Fine, I will show you that Death and Chaos is the only real way to find out the meaning." Suddenly all of the blue fell out of her left eye and slid down her cheek like a tear, leaving nothing but a second crimson iris in her eye. The tear floated from her face and solidified into a blue bead which Anansi grabbed easily. "Give that to a maiden and my weaker half will be born with its own body though it will have none of my power."
"We shall see mistress, we shall see." Anansi said with a smirk
-1943: Russia-
Anansi sat on a tree as snow fell to the soon to be battlefield. He had spent years finding the right human candidates for his plan. After the years of bloody teared research he found what he believed to be two of the deadliest humans possible who also had the potential to fight for the betterment of humanity. What was perfect was that due to this idiotic war the two were on opposite sides. All he had to do was make the two run in to each other and the winner would be the bloodline he used to craft his champion.
"Question why not just tell The One Above All mistress' mentality is weakened so he can take care of her." A small spider said as it crawled on Anansi's shoulder. The Weaver smirked as he eyed the spider that had been with their mistress for eons.
"She may be insane, but she is still my domain, my protectorate. I will have no harm come to her, we all have a role to play in healing her just be patient. I will save her from herself. Now here they come."
A woman with crimson hair and bright blue eyes walked into the snow filled clearing clade in a tight black outfit.
"Ah fighting for the side of the Axis Powers we have Natasha Romanova. She truly is a loyal soldier and a powerful woman. Should she win she would be the mother of my champion." Anansi mused as shadowy figured walked in from the other side of the clearing making Anansi smirk as the woman narrowed her eyes. "But we cannot forget the Allies."
"Who is that?" The Spider questioned as a blonde male with blue eyes walked into the area. He had a jagged scar of his eyes and a vicious grin.
BGM: Rules of Nature- Jason Miller
"That my friend, is "Wild Will" Fitzpatrick the single deadliest member of the OSS. Should he win I may have to wait a generation and use his daughter as my champion's mother but it'll be well worth the wait."
The man stood proudly in a black winter Jacket along with a pair of slacks.
-Clearing-
"Red hair, black suit. You must be Black Widow." Will said as the woman said nothing and aimed a black-hand gun at him. He just grinned further and pulled out a combat knife making her eyes widen with slight confusion. "I hate guns." The man answered her unasked question. "They take away the challenge…now let's get wild!" Will shouted as he dashed forward.
*BANG!*
Natasha watched in alarm as the man dodged the bullet while running with his knife held tightly in a reverse grip.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
"[What!?]" Natasha wondered in shock as the man dodged the bullets with relative ease and was upon her in moments. Leaning backwards she just managed to duck under a vicious slash that threatened to slit her throat. Releasing the blade from his right hand, Will caught it in his left and stabbed down, forcing the spy to roll to the side to avoid being impaled. She raised her gun, only to have it kicked from her hand making her curse as she back flipped and pulled out her own combat knife. "[He's no ordinary man…]"
-In the Trees-
"How did he do that!?"
"His eyes never left her finger that pulled the trigger. He dodged just before she pulled the trigger allowing him to appear untouchable and dodge bullets. He's a soldier ahead of his time." Anansi said with pride.
-Clearing-
"Tell me why you fight." Will questioned as the woman went on the offensive. He bobbed and weaved through her attacks before back flipping and kicking her in the chin making her stumble back. "Tell me are you prepared to die right now in this fight?" Will questioned making her glare at him as she wiped the blood from her lips. "I am."
"[This soldier…he knows nothing!]" Natasha thought angrily as she charged forward.
*CLANG!*
"I like that fire in your eye toots." Will grinned before viciously head-butting her. "If you were fighting anyone else you'd win, well except Cap maybe." Will chuckled as he they separated. "However, you've never faced someone as wild as me!" Will shouted as he threw his knife at her, which she dodged only for Will to slam into her and lift her body up before slamming her into the ground harshly and leaping away.
Natasha hissed as she felt something sting on her cheek she recovered to her feet and paled when she realized Will had slammed her next to his knife which had its handle stabbed into the snow.
"[He could have killed me! Why didn't he is this some kind of game to him!?" Natasha wondered angrily as she picked up his blade. "[This is War!]"
"That's it come at me!" Will shouted as he began bouncing on his toes as if dancing to a song only he could hear. He fell to his back just as the woman attempted to slit his throat and sprung up, slamming both of his feet into her chin. Natasha flipped back as he rolled forward and began to release a barrage of sweep kicks that she was just barely able to step away from.
"[Capoeira? Where did he learn the Dance of War this skillfully in America!?]"
"Newsflash sweet cheeks, you pissed off a lot of countries not just half of Europe and America!" Will shouted as if reading her mind. Natasha gritted her teeth and lunged at him delivering a powerful right to his face before following with a vicious left hook. Blow after blow slammed into the man who refuse to fall, instead he just grinned and kneed her in her stomach as blood spilled from his lips. Hunched over, Natasha could not prevent herself from being lifted up and supplexed into the ground. She was going to roll over but stopped when she found herself on the edge of a cliff. So lost in the fight, she had not paid attention to where they were fighting.
*SCHTIK!*
"GNH!*" Natasha gritted her teeth in pain when a knife slammed through her palm as a bloodied Will stood above her while Anansi looked on with genuine interest.
She was going to die.
She had underestimated her opponent and now she would fall. Fear filled her eyes for a moment as she looked up at Will whom simply knelt down and pulled out his knife.
"Lucky for you, I don't kill dames." Will grinned making her look up at him incredulously. "Do me a favor and get stronger for me, that was fun I haven't bled in a while." Natasha could only watch in disbelief as he walked away humming some old Jazz song. Natasha decided then and there she would train even harder and never speak of this humiliating defeat again.
After she waited for a bit and made sure he had left the immediate vicinity.
BGM: END
"I do believe we have a winner." Anansi mused as he teleported away.
-Decades later-
"I love you so much, Richard." Mary whispered making her husband laugh.
"I'd hope so. Or else your father would have killed me." Richard said with a grin as held her tighter while they both slept in the bed of their current base of operations. Before too long they both fell asleep, noticing the small blue bead melding in to Mary's skin. Anansi smiled to himself as he disappeared.
-Two Weeks Later-
Richard and Mary had both finished saving their target and were about to go their separate ways when said target decided to open his mouth.
"Thanks for the save." Logan said as he began to walk away but stopped suddenly as he sniffed the air and glanced back towards them. "Especially with your condition, congratulations I hope your kid has a healthy life." Richard and Mary both blinked and Richard suddenly paled as he connected the dots.
…
…
He would awaken several hours later in a daze.
-Sixteen Years Later-
Anansi stood in the background as a small spider fell to his shoulder.
"I finally have gained enough radiation to pass on my powers…" The Spider said before trailing off making Anansi frown.
"But…?"
"My body can't handle this much, even now as we speak it is breaking down. I fear this is the end old friend, promise me you'll save mistress."
A tear slid down Anansi's cheek as he closed his eyes.
"I will old friend."
"Don't be sad, like you said we all play our parts. I'll do my best to give him enough to defend against those damned Totem eater's mistress created in her moment of madness." And with that the spider crawled away.
-With Peter-
BGM: Stand Up- Yashin
Peter was busy looking at an experiment when the spider landed on his shoulder and crawled down to his hand. The spider sunk its fangs deeply into the boy's skin pouring out as much power as he could through his venom.
Peter shouted in pain as the Spider fell lifelessly to the ground.
-With the Spider-
The Spider laid on its back as it felt its life ending.
"Is this what your madness has done mistress? Do you have any idea how much destruction the totem eaters will bring on this multiverse!?" The Spider questioned angrily. It failed to transfer all of its power to the champion and now the world would not be able to fend off those monstrosities. His mistress didn't realize it but she gave those vile creatures the strength to kill her if necessary. She'd die to her own madness!
*Flashback*
"It's beautiful." The golden woman said as she gazed down at the spider filling its body with love.
*Flashback: End*
"No!" The spider thought as its body was set ablaze with tantric energy, as it forced itself to stand up. "I will make sure those demons are destroyed, I will save you!" The Spider thought angrily as it ran forward looking at all of the students. "No,no,no,no…there!" The Spider said as it spotted a young Asian teen walking through the lab. "A member of the champion's school and a pure hearted individual…a perfect mate!" The Spider said as it crawled up the unsuspecting teen's sandal and slammed its fangs into her foot. "Take the rest of my power and protect the center, love the center, destroy the totem eaters together!"
The teen screamed as she fell to her knee and held her foot as Peter held his hand. Both were too distracted by their own pain to notice each other while the spider died.
BGM: END
-Days later: Web of Life-
"Oh look my weaker half found his uncle's killer." Ero said with a sneer. The Web had decided to be called that for ironic purpose as she removed the love from her mind. "Watch he will descend into hatred like myself and I will bring him back where he belongs."
Anansi said nothing but smirked as he watched his champion stop himself from delivering a final blow. He felt a surge of pride fill his chest at the look of pure rage on Ero's face.
"Impossible! You must have interfered somehow!"
"Me? Oh no I play fair unlike some people. Please tell me again how some strange spider-empowered man I did not create locked away my champion's mate without my knowing again? I'd love to hear it." Anansi said with sarcasm dripping off of every syllable making Ero scowl and walk away.
"Tch. He will fall to his demons eventually."
But he didn't.
-Later-
Time flew by as Spider-Man overcame every one of her challenges.
"Why…why does he fight!? Fall you fool!" Ero muttered angrily as she watched her half's arch nemesis toss his beloved off a bridge. Ero smirked as she grabbed a web-line from her back making Anansi narrow his eyes.
"What are you doing-"
"Whiplash." Ero muttered as she pulled the thread from her back. Before long the blonde woman's neck snapped and Ero watch with joy as Spider-Man fell to despair.
"How could you?" Anansi muttered with barely held contempt.
"Now…now he is broken." Ero said sinisterly.
Except he wasn't.
-Months later-
"Unbelievable." Ero muttered with a slight eye-twitch as Spider-Man continued to fight on. "It doesn't matter now. There is no way he can defeat Firelord even if I can't break his spirit, his body should surely fall."
And though he didn't show it, Anansi was fearful for his champion.
-With Spider-Man-
BGM: Before My Body is Dry- Kill la Kill OST
A black suited Spider-Man panted tiredly as he looked up at the powerful Firelord.
"It's no use, I have to do the last thing he expects, attack!" Spider-Man thought as he charged forward.
"You dare!?" Firelord shouted angrily.
"What do I have to lose?" Spider-Man questioned as he charged the man. "I am going to die. There is no changing that. However, I'll at least buy everyone that can make a difference more time to get here! If I can save at least one life, then it doesn't matter what happens to mine." Spider-Man never wavered as he got within arms distance of someone countless times more powerful than he was.
-Web of Life-
"Tch. Just this once." Ero muttered as she snapped her fingers making Anansi look at her in shock a she felt the entity give his champion access to her Tantra reserves. "It would be annoying if this peon succeeded where I failed." Ero muttered as her left eye shone blue before she walked away.
"Ero…" Anansi whispered quietly.
-With Spider-Man-
"Take this!" Spider-Man thought as he punched the being and to his shock, Firelord's face whipped to the side. Wasting no time Spider-Man delivered another blow.
And another.
And another.
And another!
Countless after-images surrounded Firelord as he was pummeled by the black-clad hero. Spider-Man's loved ones flashed through his mind with every punch. He couldn't let up! Not with so much at stake!
"You may be bigger and far more powerful but that's just not good enough mister!" Spider-Man roared as he delivered a vicious right. "You'll never stop me no matter how strong you are! I'm just too stubborn to know when to quit!" Spider-Man said as he delivered a powerful left hook. "I'll keep on coming back…keep fighting…until I find a way to beat you! To win! I won't give up you hear!? I won't... I WON'T!"
"You don't have to give up son, you've won!" A voice said as a hand gripped his shoulder. Spider-Man froze mid-punch and turned back to see a proud Captain America standing behind him. Glancing forward Spider-Man saw that Firelord was knocked out and unmoving.
-Web of Life-
Ero's eyes bled red once again as she cut off her connection to Spider-Man. It felt good to be with him again. A tear fell from Ero's previously blue eye as she held a hand to cover her face.
"Why…?"
-Years later: Web of Life-
It was a bitter sweet moment for Ero she had finally won. She had sent her favorite Totem Eater to face Spider-Man and the results were beautiful. He was barely holding on and Morlun was coming to finish the job. Maybe if she hadn't locked away Spider-Man's mate he would have had a chance, but it was finally over. She may not have broken his spirit but she had broken his body and soon he'd be joining her daughter.
"Why do I feel empty?"
"You haven't won yet." Anansi said seriously. "Do not underestimate him."
"He's lost an eye and can barely walk. Today your champion falls to the pain of life."
"Watch."
And she did. She watched as Morlun stormed the hospital room, she watched as the totem eater prepared to finish off her other half…
…and she watched as Spider-Man leapt up.
-With Spider-Man-
"When the spider bites…when the spider feeds…it always starts at the head!" A dark voice that may or may not have been Peter's rang through his head as the possessed Spider-Man tore into Morlun's head with blazing red eyes and devoured it.
-Web of Life-
"Well, well, look at that Morlun lost." Anansi said amused getting a glare from Ero just as Spider-Man died.
"Why are you so proud? Your champion has fallen too!"
"Did you forget Ero? Some spiders can shed their body once per lifetime." Anansi smirked making her eyes widen before she gritted her teeth.
"No. He has fallen. If he gets a new body…" Ero trailed off as she saw Peter's damaged one. "Then so will I; It's time I dealt with this personally."
"That damaged body can't handle you're power." Anansi stated simply. "If you go in, the influx will kill us all."
"Then you make sure I can get down there. It's time I faced him." Anansi narrowed his eyes but did as he was told, however he could only get the bare minimum of her to transfer over. He allowed her to take some scarce knowledge of Spiders but her reserves, power, and memories stayed with him.
-Weeks Later-
A black suited Spider-Man watched his opponent get devoured by birds. He did his best to make sure that none of the spiders survived, he couldn't risk his body doing any more harm again and killed every spider he could see in the church.
-Web of Life-
"I lost."
"Terribly." Anansi added as her shoulders slumped.
"I am going to rest and when I'm ready I want to try 'living' again. I don't care how you do it, but get him another chance to shed his body I want to face him again and make sure it's not so damaged, I want to bring a little more power with me."
"Understood." Anansi said as she sealed herself into her cocoon. Once she was completely sealed he released a smirk as he noticed she didn't realize her slip. She wanted to live, not face Spider-Man, it appears as though she were finally getting it... "All according to plan."
-Years later-
Anansi watched as Ero descended upon Earth again, however this time things were different. Thanks to the tournament and the idea that she'd eventually face Spider-Man he gave her time to experience life. He even provided her with a mate of her own, Adriana, in hopes that she'd realize how terrible it was to seal away her other half's mate.
Anansi was especially proud when Ero challenged him for the right to love her mate despite not knowing she actually had more influence than he did. To her he was her God and she still "defied" him for love. He watched her grow as a person and felt his heart swell with shock and pride as she begged for forgiveness from Spider-Man. Though mentally she was only apologizing for the crimes she knew she committed, her soul was pleading for the sake of all of her sins.
And Spider-Man forgave her. Mentally he only knew of the crimes she did, but his soul never lost its connection with the web. Deep down he was deeply aware in his subconscious of everything that had happened but even now he found himself forgiving her wholeheartedly.
It was above Anansi's comprehension. Though deep down he supposed the two halves never stopped loving each other. Ero subconsciously became Peter's 'Spider-Sense' as she viewed him as a spider, and all spiders were under her protection.
Similarly the reason Spider-Man never gave up was because deep down he was doing his best to find the answer to the question that had plagued Ero so.
Tears fell from Anansi's eyes as for once in his life he finally got to look at what his domain should have been. Its sheer beauty made him gasp in wonder and he honestly felt as though he were the luckiest god around.
Still all things must come to an end, Anansi realized as he watched Ero enter Peter's mind to save him. He honestly wished he could see just how far they would go but it was time for his hatchlings to stand by themselves.
So it should come to no surprise why Anansi smiled as Scathach ended his reign as the Great Weaver.
-Later-
Ero gasped as she awoke in the realm tears fell from her eyes as she quickly reactivated her connection to Spider-Man turning one of her eyes blue. Her body shook with sorrow as she muttered one thing over again and again as she slowly cocooned herself.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
-Tier 10-
Ero gasped as she freed herself from her cocoon. She knew who was before her, she had waited for so long to see him again. She approached him slowly and knew it was time to truly become one again, once and for all. She idly noted Jack was in her realm but didn't care, she even blocked his attack and turned back to her other half. After letting her frustration show about his suicidal tendencies she rested her forehead to his and cried as she finally got the answer to the question that harmed her so.
"I love you." Ero whispered quietly as she pressed her lips to his and dissolved into golden threads which formed around him into a costume. "You're in charge this time." Ero's voice rung throughout his head making him smile behind his mask.
Spider-Man found himself in a new realm and stared Jack down.
As Eternity explained the situation, Spider-Man knew.
It was time to end this.
-Weeks Later-
Peter and his loved ones stared at the ceiling of his office as they watched the last of Ero's memories fade away.
"So now I'm finally all caught up huh?" Peter muttered quietly as Laura placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Laura asked quietly when she had agreed to watch Ero's memories with Peter with the others none of them had expected something like this. Ero's memories stretched over eons and she was the bane of Peter's existence. She had no idea how he felt at this moment.
"Everything worked itself out right?" Peter said quietly. "I'm still here and that's what matters. She was a bitch but she redeemed herself in my eyes at least. All I can do is move on." Peter said as he began walking away and disappearing in a flash of gold.
"I know where he's headed." Adriana said as she stood up. "We shall be back shortly." Adriana said as she too disappeared.
-Ezekiel's headquarters-
"Unbelievable right below where he tried to lock me up." Peter muttered with narrowed eyes as Adriana stood behind him with a frown. She could feel the pure hate rolling off of him, it was as if a primal rage had taken over him and there was nothing she could do to quell his anger. She could say nothing for it was her mate that caused this and she would be even more enraged if it was her in his shoes. "I am actually so mad my body feels numb."
["Hello Peter-"]
*Thwip*
*CRASH*
Peter tore down the monitor of Ezekiel swiftly as he stalked through the building, his knuckles turning white from how hard he was clenching his fists. Before long he reached a large holding cell where another monitor turned on.
"[There is another Sp-]"
*CRASH*
Peter rammed his fist through the screen and quickly pulled it out. Before long Spider-Man reached a large holding cell and stared at it impassively. At that moment he turned back to a saddened Adriana.
"You realize this changes nothing between us right?"
"Of course I do, that's why I'm here. I'm just irritated that Ero would do something like this."
"In her defense she was sorry. I am not angry at her, just at the situation." Peter said as he turned back to the door.
["Hello? Is someone out there?"]
"Yes its Peter, Spider-Man, whichever name alias Ezekiel gave you." Peter said as he placed both hands on the large metal door
["I know both names…listen please leave…if you open that door Morlun will come."]
"Screw Morlun." Peter said simply as he yanked back both of his hands.
*KRANGGGG!*
With no effort at all, Peter tore down the door as if it were wallpaper and nearly instantly had to shield his eyes from a bright light. Letting his eyes readjust, he saw the silhouette of a long haired woman stalking towards him. She had long black hair, hazel eyes, and was wearing a green tank top with a pair of denim shorts.
"Do you…have…ANY idea what you've done!?" The woman shouted as she charged forward with her fist cocked back.
"Enough." Peter said simply making her body lock up instantly. "Morlun is no threat. The moment he or his family even think of starting something they are going to be brought down. What is important, however, is what is going to happen with you."
His words were said in a way that made her believe him, as if she could see the totem eaters' destruction herself. She searched into his eyes and found no signs of deceit. It was then that something else happened.
Both of their pupils dilated and Adriana blinked as she felt Peter's anger vanish completely while Deadpool teleported into the room next to Adriana with a boom box, popcorn, two lawn chairs, and a six pack.
"Did I miss the imprint?" Deadpool questioned making her shake her head.
"Just happened actually." At this point Adriana was no longer even close to being surprised by the merc anymore.
"Cool." Deadpool said as he pulled out a camcorder and handed Adriana a beer before pressing play on the boom box.
BGM: Let's get it on- Marvin Gaye
! Spider-Sense!: She's yours! Take her! Now damn it!
! Spider-Sense!: He's yours mate. Now. It's been over a decade, now damn it!
The woman barely had time to react as Peter pounced on her.
*CRASH!*
*BOOOM!*
*KRANG!*
*BANG!*
*KABLAM!*
"Are they mating or fighting?" Adriana questioned incredulously as she ducked just in time to avoid a monitor.
"I don't know but it's awesome!" Deadpool laughed. "Hey webs can you say Worldstar!?" Adriana shook her head as she sat next to the merc and grabbed a beer. "I mean damn, do you even know her name yet!?"
*CRACK!*
They winced as they saw Peter slam to his back as the woman literally sunk her fangs in to him. A gesture he quickly returned.
"Hey Queenie…she's not going to try to kill him after this right? I mean you know how female spiders are with their mating habits…"
"Nonsense, her human side should counter any of her drastic mating urges…" Adriana said as she tilted her head with wide eyes. "I think…"
*KABLAM!*
They both gaped as Peter was blatantly punched in the face.
"Say my name!"
"I don't know it!" Peter shouted as he threw the nearly nude woman across the room and leapt over at her, using one hand to rip his shirt off in the process."
"I don't think he fought this hard against me!" Deadpool said with a laugh.
"It's Cindy, remember it so you can scream it later." The woman growled out as Peter lifted her up and slammed her to a wall.
(LIAG Helpful Info: Cindy Moon AKA Silk is the second victim of Peter's Spider bite and apparently his mate in the canon Marvel Universe. Listen I kid you not when I say Peter and Silk nearly had sex 30 minutes after meeting each other out side on the roof of a building…and again on the ceiling of his apartment that same day.)
"The only one that's going to scream is you!"
"Bring it!"
"Hey want to tear down the Red Skull's new base?" Deadpool questioned suddenly making Adriana smirk slightly.
*FLASH*
"You know when our families inevitably unite one day, it may not be so bad." Adriana said as both she and Deadpool watched Peter and Silk tear down the Red Skull's headquarters in a vain attempt to out-sex the other. Hell if out-sex wasn't a term before it was now, Adriana mused.
"Stop you imbeciles!" The Red Skull roared in fury. "You vile heathen's I can hear those terrible thoughts you two have in those depraved heads of yours!"
(LIAG Helpful Info: The Red Skull stole Xavier's brain post Avengers vs. X-men in order to gain telepathic powers.)

Too short?
Well here's a second teaser for Sora's Life is a Game coming 2015!
After falling to Xehanort...one man returns to the past to stop a war before it can begin.
Watch as our hero goes back into the past…
...To master his darkness.
"If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, can a stairway to heaven be forged with misdeeds?" Sora wondered as he walked away from his pod with his two loyal companions behind him.
He will embark on a Journey like no other…
"Kingdom Hearts is said to be Light, but there is both Light and darkness in the heart…that said if I use darkness to open up the hole I'd be destroyed. If I try to use light I'll be back to square one…is there a way to use both?" Sora wondered as he gazed at his key blade with a sigh "come on you may not have chosen me, but you sure chose to stay with me! Am I on the right path!? I need to find a new way to unlock Kingdom Hearts."
"Well gosh Sora, If just light won't work for you or just darkness, what about both?" Goofy questioned making Sora blink slowly before turning to Goofy with a grin.
"Goofy, you're a genius!" Sora shouted. "Xehanort chided me for viewing the world as black and white when he did the same thing! I'll find a way to use both! Surely there must be people with enough light and darkness to get into Kingdom hearts!"
BGM: Kingdom Hearts Simple and Clean Fast version- Birth By Sleep Opening
Elsa! (New World: Frozen!)
Sora ran up a frozen staircase, slicing down every heartless or frozen creation that dared stand in his way. A fearful blonde released large spike of ice which he barely had time to avoid.
"Please…just leave me alone!" Elsa pleaded as she was surrounded by heartless and for a moment to Sora she was replaced with the image of Namine.
"I'm not going to leave you in your hour of need!" Sora shouted. "I'm going to save you and nothing is stopping me, not even your fear." Sora said as he charged forward. Elsa may have frozen his heart and blocked away his magic, but he still had his keyblade. He'd save her.
Or he'd die trying.
Ahsoka! (New World: A Galaxy Far Far Away)
"You expect me to get into a conflict that no longer concerns me!?" Ahsoka shouted making Sora glare at her. "The Jedi betrayed me years ago, and now they are being destroyed by the dozens by my own master. I'm sorry I'm not a Jedi anymore." Ahsoka said sadly as she handed him back the light sabers
"You don't need to follow a code to do the right thing! Jedi or not, you still have the power to make a difference! What does your heart want you to do? What do you want to do? Follow your heart and go out and do what it wants you too!" Sora said angrily. This woman only saw the world as black or white and it was beginning to frustrate him. Every time she spoke…
…he just heard himself.
"You sound like a Sith." Ahsoka said quietly.
"Emotions do not make you evil Ahsoka! There are good ones too! Haven't you ever felt happiness or love!?" Sora asked helplessly. "You can make a difference, and you won't be alone."
Midna! (New World: Litwak's Arcade)
Anti-Sora ran clawed through the swarm of heartless as the little imp laughed on his back.
"You are far more fun than that wolf, maybe I can bring you back to my game?" Midna said getting an annoyed growl from Sora. "Don't be like that…anyway let's go, we have an arcade to save and all who knows maybe I'll find a way to use my true form without waiting for a kid to beat my game. That should be a lovely sight."
Sora shook his head as he dashed through the candy forest.
Demona! (New World: Manhattan)
The blue skinned woman glared at Sora with blazing red eyes.
"All of you humans are the same!"
"No we are not! We have our bad ones, every group does! Both don't let your hatred for those who hurt you blind you from the good humans!" Sora shouted as he rolled out of the way of her sharp talons.
"Silence! What would a boy like you know!?"
"I understand more about humanity's darkness than you ever could!" Sora countered as he aimed his keyblade at her and softened his gaze. "Please don't make me fight you, we can talk this out!"
Red Queen! (New World: Earth-616)
"You don't need to do this…you're hurting, I get it, your heart has never healed. You weren't always evil though were you!?" Sora shouted as he found himself back to back with Spider-Man as they were surrounded by heartless.
"You know nothing!" Madelyn hissed as Spider-Man and Sora tensed for combat.
"Uh, I think you're just making her angrier…" Spider-Man stage whispered as Sora summoned a second keyblade and glared up at the red-head.
"When you were in my head earlier, I was in yours!" Sora shouted making her eyes widen slightly. "I have nothing to hide, you've seen my pain, my moments sorrow, and I've seen yours. The pain you feel to this day! I know the real you! You let the actions of others turn you into a monster, let me turn you back into the beautiful woman you really are!"
"Oh boy I've been through this enough to know that you're either going to get laid, or you've just killed us all. I'm okay with the former in all honestly more power to you my friend." Spider-Man said as the woman bowed her head.
Ravenna! (New World: Dwarf Woodlands REMIXED)
"Ah a Keybearer, I thought you were all just a myth. You should be excellent for stealing hearts then" Ravenna drawled as she sat on her throne. "I must say you're a bit feminine…for a warrior of light. If you weren't male I would have drained you by now." The blonde said with a smirk making a vein twitch on the side of Sora's head for a moment.
"Let's please get back on topic. You want me to still the heart of a woman I do not know for you? And what exactly is my motivation? If I wanted to leave I could and you could not stop me. What exactly is my payment?" Sora questioned with narrowed eyes. He wasn't going to do it, but he could at least get her to free him so he could find the Snow White of this world.
"Anything that is in my power to give you." The Queen said with a smirk after all every man had his price. Sora was going to ask for sea salt ice cream when his keyblade shimmered slightly making him look at the cruel woman incredulously before smirking.
"Alright then a heart for a heart. I'll get you Snow White's and in return you give me yours." Sora said making her eyes widen slightly before a cold smirk graced her lips.
"Fine, we have a deal."
"Okay Sora how in the world are you getting yourself out of this one?"
Maleficent!
"When I heard from Pete that you were actively searching for me, I thought of him as a fool…but you actually showed up. Alone." Maleficent muttered as she approached Sora. "Why?"
"I know why you hate humans. You should really pay attention to where your diary pages get scattered." Sora said making her eyes widen in alarm. "I'm asking you to give us another chance."
"You dare!?" Maleficent boomed as she instantly transformed into a large black dragon and peered down into Sora's eyes. "I was going to kick you out of my realm so you could continue dealing with Xemnas for me, but now I'll handle it myself. I was easy on you before because you were a child but now-"
"Showing mercy on a child? This might be easier than I thought." Sora said with a smirk making green fire literally blaze from the dragon's eyes.
"I see the years have made you more foolish. You couldn't even comprehend how dark I truly am!"
"You're right I couldn't." Sora said as his irises suddenly bled yellow making her eyes widen slightly. "There was a reason I saved you for last. I needed to master my own darkness before I could face yours. I will take your heart, and with it I'll stop Xehanort. I will take Kingdom Hearts for myself and make sure it can never be used for evil."
"Boy what have you done to yourself…?" The dragon muttered making Sora Smirk.
"You do not want to know." Sora said as Oblivion appeared in his hand. "Come on guys, you have to find those wings! I'll have to go all out to face her."
BGM: END
He must find the hearts of the Seven Queens of Twilight and he will need all the help he can get.
New Party member!
-Hollow Bastion-
"Hey Sora…Wanna go an adventure?" Yuffie questioned with a smirk. Sora blinked for a moment before smirking himself making a chill go down her spine. Sora decided then if he was to truly change the future. He'd need to go all out in the most impulsive and reckless ways he could think of.
He wouldn't be him if he didn't.
"Actually, yes. Yes I do, in fact I'm already on one and now you're coming with me." Sora said making Yuffie pale.
*Flash*
"Who are you?" Sora questioned as Yuffie stood next to him perplexed.
"Just your friendly neighborhood Mid-boss!" Deadpool laughed. "And I'm here to test your synergy! Now let's do this!" Deadpool said as he charged forward with his Katanas drawn. "Come on ninja girl!"
BGM: Kokuten-Naruto Shippuuden OST
"Yuffie!" Sora shouted as he watched the insane man teleport behind Yuffie with the intent to kill.
*SHING!*
"Aww!" Deadpool whined as his target disappeared. Above him Yuffie appeared with a cold look in her eyes as she pulled off her trusty Shuriken and threw it down with enough force to make Tifa proud.
*SHING!*
"Whoa!" Deadpool said as he barely stopped himself from being beheaded as he dove forward and sheathed his right blade before pulling out a magnum and aiming at Sora.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
Sora's keyblade didn't decide to stick with him for no reason though and Sora instantly began to knock the bullets back to Deadpool.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch damn it!" Deadpool said as each of the bullets slammed into him making him drop his weapons just as Yuffie landed in a crouch. Both teammates stared at each other as they crouched on opposite sides of the merc.
[Reaction!]: Hassou Tobi
The two dashed towards each other at speeds making them invisible to the naked eye leaving nothing but a single large crimson slash mark on the ground that extended from Sora's former position to Yuffie's with Deadpool in the middle. Three more slash marks appeared rotating clockwise as Deadpool shouted in pain. Yuffie and Sora appeared in the air as eight deep slash marks appeared over the man's body
[Reaction!]: Shinobi's Passion
Yuffie released sixed small bombs surrounding Deadpool as Sora descend with his key blade raised high.
"Firaga!" Sora shouted as flames sprung from his weapon and into the bombs, increasing their explosive power.
*KABOOOOM!*
Deadpool was launched into the sky from the massive explosion towards Yuffie whom grabbed her shuriken as Sora cocked his weapon back.
[Reaction!]: Ice Breaker!
Launching bot of their weapons towards each other, Deadpool was caught in the crossfire as both weapons slammed into him. Both Sora and Yuffie caught each other's weapons and threw them back to each other, once again hitting Deadpool. Yuffie landed next to Sora after they both caught their respective weapons and they both bumped each other's fists with a grin.
"Insane!" Sora cheered as he felt a connection forge with Yuffie.
Swift Form: Unlocked
"I know right? That was right off the top of our heads!" Yuffie gushed as a completely healed Deadpool flipped to his feet, instantly putting them back on the defensive.
"Okay no more mister nice guy!" Deadpool shouted making Sora narrow his eyes.
"Hey Yuffie, I'm going to try something…just trust me okay." Yuffie was curious and nodded her head. "Alright let's do this, Swift Form!"
"Whoa!" Yuffie yelped as she felt her body turn into a ball of energy and slam into Sora.
*CRASH!*
BGM: END
To be continued 2015
"Are…are you inside of me Sora!? Soooo not what I meant when I told you that joke!"
End.
