"Remind me again Pete, what are we even doing here if Jameson's not even here..." MJ complained as Peter neatly stacked up the photographs and shoved it into a drawer. "C'mon MJ, I don't want to risk losing my job..." Peter explained as they walked out of Jameson's office. "Get another job then...Work at a fast food joint, laboratory assistant, tutor..." I think you're smart enough to pull off the last two jobs... Greer suggested as she followed Peter and MJ out of Jameson's office and back out into the corridor. "I would want those jobs...One problem... I'll be stuck in that specific place..." "What do you mean?" MJ asked. "You see as a photographer for the Bugle I get to come and go as I please...You know letting me do other business...Plus working around so many reporters helps me keep tabs on the baddies I whooped..." Peter said proudly. MJ snorted "Yeah ok fair enough but seriously" Without warning, there was a sickening snap in MJ's spine, causing her to throw up in a nearby waste paper basket.
MJ's green eyes suddenly went wide, her face struck with horror as an unexpected and painful change enveloped her. Her hands shook and her palms sweated as every bone thickened and elongated. Peter was panicking "MJ? MJ what's wrong?" "I don't know!" MJ screamed. Greer swallowed her fear as she looked at MJ's hands. They were growing longer and longer, the skin getting thicker and tougher, her knuckles bulging and, her nails elongating. "What the hell is wrong with your hands?!" Peter screamed as he picked them up. "I don't know!" MJ screamed back, as she wrenched her hand from Peter's grip. Her chest heaved and she moaned and whined. Greer and Peter raced forward, the both of them catching MJ as her thin legs gave away beneath her "Don't come any closer to me!" She cried as she hugged her body and fell onto her knees.
"Are you sick or what? What's wrong?" Greer asked in fear looking at MJ's chalk white skin. "I...I don't know! J-just leave me alone. I'll be okay...I'll be Arrrghhh! Awww!" The sound of bones popping radiated from MJ's being. She hunched over, her shoulders ripping open her sweater. The rips widened to accommodate her growing arms and back. "MJ what's going on" Peter asked fear evident in his voice. "I don't know!" She screamed before falling over. She was now supporting herself on her hands, which now resembled a mixture between a hand and a claw. "What do we do?!" Peter panicked looking at Greer for help while all she could do was gasp. "What's happening to you?!" he asked again. "I...don't...know!" MJ grunted as Peter moved back in shock...her teeth had started growing longer.
"Peter! Her ears! Look at her ears!" Greer cried as she and Peter watched in sheer terror as MJ's ears elongated into points "What...but...but...That can't be..." Peter muttered. "What is happening to me?" MJ screamed as every bone in her spine morphed and her muscles ballooned and inflated to two, three times their normal size, tearing her tank top across. She was bawling now, a small nub of a tail beginning to push its way out. ""Holy shit, it's a tail! MJ you are growing a tail..." "What?! I'm growing a WHAT?!" MJ screamed. She looked down at her hands as they transformed slowly, her back changing and morphing, her tail sprouting...
What is wrong with me?! How is this happening?" MJ yelled in agony. "Peter!" Greer screamed as she wrapped her arms around the changing MJ. Peter was trembling. His hazel eyes blanked. "It can't be..." he repeated. "What can't be?" MJ and Greer yelled together. "Oz... you must have somehow...Oh my God...MJ you have Oz in your system!" Although Greer had no idea what Peter was talking about... MJ did as Greer heard her pulse rate double in fear and panic. "I thought you said Reed Richards got it out of me last month!' MJ grunted as she watched her teeth turn into fangs. Her ears were almost finished changing. Her fingernails were now long and sharp, the polish cracked. Red fur the color of her hair grew from her flesh, leading up her arms. Veins pressed against the inside of her body, looking like rivers all over her neck and back. Peter wrapped his arms protectively around MJ. "MJ..." he cried, tears streaming down his face.
"Mind telling me what the hell is going on?" Greer growled at Peter as the both of them tightened their grip on MJ's quivering body. "Last month... We found out I was cloned...One of the clones got hold of MJ." They both looked down as MJ screamed. Both her hands had finished changing into paws. "He wanted to protect her, no, he wanted her to protect herself, so he injected her with OZ, a chemical that made me into Spiderman..." "So why is it turning her into an animal?!" Greer asked now struggling as MJ withered and thrashed wildly in her hold. "Oz was transmitted to me via a spider bite...For all those who directly come into contact with Oz, they become... Goblins..." "Goblins?" Greer asked in disbelief an image of a smurf like being with pointy ears entering her sub consciousness. "Not the mythological one. Goblin is a term the media came up with. These types of Goblins are like... werewolves. Just more dangerous..." Peter finished his hazel eyes gleaming with hate. "Oh, no, oh, please, not that! NOT THAT! Stop! STOP! This is my body! My body! N-n-n-nooooo! Not again!" MJ begged as her feet started to expand in size. Greer looked up in shock. "So she actually..." "Yes...MJ... She's turning back into a goblin..."
" Stop blabbering and...He-e-e-e-elp meeeeeeee...Pleeeeeeeeease...!"was all MJ could muster through her fangs, now filling up every centimeter of her small mouth. Her tail completing its growth as she watched her hands finish changing into paws. Sweat poured off her shredded tank top, which now hung loosely on her expanding torso. Tears dropped onto the floor. Peter trembled as he looked down at his poor girlfriend. Her ears were no longer human; they were pointed like a cat's or a wolf's. Fangs filled her mouth and her hands were now paws. A tail, with red fur sprouting from it, was now sticking out behind her. She was now more than partway through her long transformation from girl to goblin "Shhhh...MJ you have to relax, keep calm! Keep calm!" Greer instructed now heaving with all her might as Peter did his best to comfort his feral girlfriend. "KEEP CALM! This is real! It's REAL! This is actually happening to me! Greer! Help me!" "How? What can she do? Call an ambulance? You have to listen to her! Keep calm!" Peter yelled back as MJ screamed some more, leaving slash marks on the ground with her claws as bones from every part of her fuzzy body popped nonstop like bubble wrap, the ground was now soaked with her sweat. Her sweater and jeans were mere rags hanging from her large body, once slim. She heaved and sobbed, arching her back and writhing around on the ground.
"Peter help...m..m...meeeeeeee..." MJ begged. She was choking up, gasping for air, unable to get a breath between sobs, whimpers and screams. Tears covered her cheeks as her hair and clothes stuck to her sweaty, sticky skin as her heart thumped through her heaving chest. She looked down helplessly as her petite feet morphed right before her big, wet golden eyes, her lips trembling. Her feet continued to grow longer and longer, the bones pressing against the inside of her flesh, thickening. POP! SNAP! C-C-CRACK! Her leg muscles were now suffering the same fate as her arms as they grew thicker and longer, her bones doing the same as fur covered the skin. They readjusted and aligned themselves according to the way her new body dictated... A muzzle grew longer before her very eyes. MJ could feel her fur on her face, her entire coat growing more and more coarse all over her entire body. MJ heaved heavily a few times before shuddering violently. Greer and Peter backed away from the once beautiful girl who was now a big, unconscious hulking beast lying face flat onto the floor...
