I have some bad news everyone, there's a hardware issue with my computer so I might not be able to update as often as I would like. I have to sen it away to get fixed but I'll try to use other computers in the meantime. I appreciate you guys understanding and thank you for reading. Anyway here's chapter 5!

The Tri-Carrier had crashed close enough to the City that Spider-man could slingshot himself over there without any issue. Getting back, seemed to be another matter.

Well, here goes nothing.

With that, he was gone. Soaring through the air Spider-man landed safely on the deck of the Tri-Carrier, he walked inside to search for signs of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Red emergency power lights were on everywhere, the creaking sounds of the ship filled the metal halls.

Well this isn't creepy or anything.

Parker luck working its magic, Spider-man heard footsteps and a snarl. Now things were really starting to get to him.

Spider sense! I knew this was too easy.

A dark figure jumped out and pinned Spider-man to the ground, it looked like a smaller version of Venom!

"What the heck is going on here? Venom! Who did you take over this time!?" Spider-man said as he threw the symbiote off of him into a wall.

Spidey got up and saw the corridor was filling up with these small symbiotes, just like when the Venom Bomb went off and all the agents were taken over.

"Uh-oh! Not good! I'm outta here!" Spider-man high tailed it out of there and swung through the halls to escape his pursuers, but they just kept coming from all directions. Eventually he made it back out onto the deck, but Spider-man was surrounded.

Fighting the symbiotes off from all sides, Spider-man knew he was stuck in a losing battle. One of them got a lucky shot in and it was enough to give more of them a chance to pounce. Soon Spider-man was at the bottom of a symbiote dog pile until something grabbed his hand and pulled him out.

Before he knew what was going on Spider-man was teleported to a dark room that looked like it was underground. Spidey took a look at his rescuer and was filled with joy.

"Luke! Holy cannoli you're here! God I missed you! I was certain I was alone here! What's going on? What's with the Tri-Carrier? Where's everyone else?" Spider-man hugged his friend.

Luke was different though, he looked older and had a beard now. He was wearing a yellow racing jacket, cargo pants, and boots. He was missing his visor.

"Parker? Is it really you?" Luke asked, astonished.

Spider-man took off his mask.

"It totally is, man I have missed you." Luke grabbed him and gave Peter a noogie.

"What happened here? Everything's so different from my world."

"Your world? You're not our webhead, then he really is…" Luke's expression changed to one of sadness.

"Yeah Madame Web brought me here, some crazy guy came to my world and kicked the crap outta me. I'm here to find a way to beat him."

"He had all our old gear didn't he?"

"That's him." Peter nodded.

"Sit down, I'll fill you in."

They both took a seat in the room.

"First off," Luke began; "this is midtown high. I brought us here via short-range teleporter."

"Cool, continue."

"Our fight with the Goblin was fifteen years ago Pete. It was bad."

"Fifteen years? What do you mean bad? We beat him!" Peter protested.

"Not here you didn't, he detonated his Goblin bombs and turned New York into his kingdom, destroying the city in the process. Dr. Connors mass-produced the antidote and we dispersed it, but the serum had changed. Everyone affected was killed instantly."

Peter couldn't believe it, he had failed here?

"What about the rest of the team? Where are they?"

"Danny went to Kunlun for his trial to become King. When you went with him he got poisoned."

"Yeah and I raced Scorpion and he lost and we cured Danny."

"Wrong again, Scorpion beat you at the last second and Danny remained incapacitated. He gave up being Iron Fist and Scorpion threw him in prison. I heard that his system has cured him by now, but with all the security he can't escape."

Peter knew he'd have to save him, he figured he'd have to get his old team together again.

"Sam? What about him?"

"Nova returned to duty with the Guardians of the Galaxy."

"So can't we just go get him?"

Luke's face sank into his hands.

"Peter, Sam's dead."

The news hit him like a flying bucket head.

"I can't believe it...Sam…" As much as he annoyed Peter, Sam was still his friend.

"I'm almost scared to ask about Ava."

"She's been off the team for years, ever since Kraven took the amulet from her she became a civilian and gave up the superheroics."

"I beat Kraven…" Peter whispered.

"Nobody's seen or heard from her since, she went completely underground. It's sheer luck that she told me where to find her after that night...when you left."

"Which brings me to my next question," Peter began.

"You, you were the deciding factor here. Our version of you never won these major fights. That's what's different." Luke told him.

"Makes sense, this is a world where I never became the Ultimate Spider-man." Peter stated.

"What about me? Where am I?" Peter asked.

"You went rogue Pete, took all our stuff and a bunch of tech from the Baxter Building. None of us have heard from you in years."

"I need to find Ava, then we can rescue Danny. I need to bring you guys back to my world to stop myself. Luke, the guy who showed up and beat me? He was me, from this world."

"That, actually makes sense. Alright, I'll show you where Ava is, bring her back here and we can work out a plan to get Danny. I can focus on transport to China while you're out."

"Nice, I really think we can do this man!" Peter high-fived his longtime friend.

"Alright let's get down to business."

"To defeat the Huns?"

"What are you talking about?" Luke looked at Peter like he was crazy.

"Mulan? No? Nothing? Dude how have you not seen that movie?" Now Peter thought Luke was crazy.

"Can you be serious for one second?"

"Wow, I guess you haven't seen me in a while." Peter chuckled, Luke facepalmed.

I'm now accepting any private messages anyone may have regarding the following:

1. The new alternate appearances for Danny and Ava, hopefully something that indicates lack of "superheroing" or hopelessness. I'd like for them to almost be polar opposites of their normal selves.

2. Whether or not alternate future Nova should still be alive as well as a legitimate reason he could be.

3. Which alternate future villains you'd like to see, and also how they may be different.

I already have plans for a few of them so bear with me if I don't go with an idea for one that I already wrote into the story.

Any winning ideas will receive the ORIGINAL STORY UNEDITED in full as a private message or email (whichever is preferred) as well as the next chapter two days before I upload it here.

The contest will run from March 9th 2014 until March 16th, so there's some time to come up with ideas and submit them. I'm cutting the contest a little short so there isn't a huge time gap until chapter 6.

Thanks for the support and I hope you enjoy what I have planned!
