The Invincible Spider-Man
Dimensional Apocalypse: Part 4
The Maker sat in his lab, tinkering around with some piece of equipment, as Captain America walked in.
"Is it done?" asked Steve, looming over Maker.
"Yes. It should be ready for use," replied Maker, handing it to Steve.
"We'll use it immediately, if that works," said Steve.
"It's me. You don't need to do a test run to see if it works," said Reed, as Steve nodded and walked away.
"By the way, Johnny and Sue were severely injured while trying to subdue Strange. I hope that won't affect your performance in any way, shape or form?" asked Steve, eyeing down Maker.
Maker looked at him in the eyes and shrugged, before heading back to work. Steve chuckled and walked away with the device. Just as Maker got back to his work, his eye twitched for a second. He quickly shook his head and began to focus again.
Peter opened his eyes, and found himself on his bed, in his room at ESU. He stared at his ceiling for a good second, and almost immediately all the memories came flooding to his brain, as he jumped out of bed.
"Whoa…" he said, as he began to look around. Everything seemed…normal?
"Was it a dream? No, it can't be!" thought Peter, as he rummaged through his closet and pulled out his suit. He quickly put it on and snuck out of the window, the chilly January morning hitting him like a truck.
"The new year hasn't even started and I'm already flung onto another Earth. Though this seems, normal. Am I back on my world?" asked Spider-Man to himself, as he landed on an electric billboard where Jameson seemed to be broadcasting.
"Alistair Smythe has finally been sent to Ravencroft, no thanks to that bug-brained brainless brat, Spider-Man!" exclaimed Jameson.
"Wow, bug-brained AND brainless. Jameson contradicting himself, I'm back on my world. But what happened to theirs?" asked Spider-Man, as he tried to recollect more.
"Moon Knight and I saved everyone from the Negative Zone, Doctor Strange showed up, and then…a white light…" thought Peter, as he began to blank again.
"Okay, I need to head to the Sanctum. Strange probably knows what happened," thought Spider-Man, as he swung over to the Sanctum Sanctorum not too far away.
He landed at the door and gently knocked on it, only for the door to open itself.
"Doctor Strange?" asked Spider-Man, walking in. The Sanctum seemed totally empty, except for sorcerer memorabilia.
"Hello, Peter," said a voice. Peter turned around and yelped backwards in fright. Before him was what looked to be Strange's ghost, floating in front of him.
"I'm using my astral projection to talk to you. You'd better get to Avengers Tower, the others have no way of contacting you so you can't blame them for not being able to tell you," explained Strange.
"Right, my whole secret identity thing. I'll be there right away," said Spider-Man, as he rushed out of the Sanctum.
Spider-Man swung to the Helipad of Avengers Tower, where he saw everyone standing inside. Including the Midnight Sons and the Guardians of the Galaxy from the other Earth.
"Glad you're here, Spider-Man," said Reed. Peter nodded as he scaled one of the walls nearby and stuck to it, as there was barely any space on the ground.
"So, according to Doctor Strange as well as our frequency readings, we have managed to separate our two Earths. The only problem that lies now is sending you guys back to your Earth," said Reed, gesturing to Daredevil.
"Or actually about that, we all need to go back to your earth," said Wasp.
"We talked about this. Twice. It's not your fight, send us back and we can fight them," replied Moon Knight.
"It became our fight when we saw the horrors they unleashed on your world," replied Nightcrawler.
"Yeah, what kind of heroes would we be if we just sent you back to there. We ought to try and help at least," protested Sue.
"Again, that is if we can travel back to their dimension. Even if we do, are we sure it's not a one way travel mechanism? And what if we converge both Earths again?" replied Tony.
Steve stood up and walked up to Tony, then turned to everyone there.
"While we were on that Earth, while I was there, I saw a twisted perversion of myself, as did many of you. I saw a version of me that I swore I would never become, that I would swear to vanquish. I speak for everyone in this room when I say that if we send you back to that place, condemn you back under their rule, everyone here will have a guilty conscience," said Steve, addressing the Midnight Sons. Wolverine scoffed a bit, which prompted a nudge from Kitty Pryde.
Just then, a device on Tony's desk began to beep, as he quickly rushed to check on it.
"Oh shit," he said.
"What is it?" asked Spider-Man.
"I'm reading vibrational frequencies that are similar to the other Earth's. But not on a large scale, but rather on an individual one…" said Tony, raising an eyebrow.
"So what, objects from the other universe have come here?" asked Hawkeye.
"Or people," continued Strange.
"Any idea on the location?" asked Professor X.
"Times Square, I'm pulling up traffic camera footage," said Tony, as he pulled up the footage, only to see their worst fear.
There was a blue portal, and out walked The Cabal, now on their world.
"Ah, I remember this. When New York wasn't as peaceful as it is now on our world," said Tony, as he retracted his helmet back.
"Woah, is that The Avengers! And the Fantastic Four!?" exclaimed a civilian, as they pulled out their phones.
"Why does Mr Fantastic look so different? And what happened to Mr Stark's eye?" asked another, while Steve simply chuckled. "Tony, you know what to do," he said. Tony nodded as he stepped forwards, before aiming a Unibeam blast straight at the crowd.
"We're here to save you!" he exclaimed out loud as the blast tore through the billboards. Wasp flew high and began to spray acid all over the crowd which was now running helter skelter. Invisible Woman began to telekinetically lift cars and throw them at civilians, while Human Torch lit things on fire with one hand.
"I haven't had this much fun in years!" shouted Iron Man, as he and Wasp flew around destroying billboards. Meanwhile, Captain America aimed his shield at the structural pillars of buildings, destroying most of them in one throw.
"This just in, apparently the Avengers are attacking Times Square!" shouted Jameson's voice through one of the electronic billboards that broadcasted his face.
"This exasperating oaf never shuts up, does he!" shouted Maker out loud, as he embiggened his fist and punched the billboard clean into the center, destroying the whole billboard.
"Hey, he may be an exasperating oaf, but he's MY exasperating oaf!" shouted a voice, as Maker turned around, only to have web fluid all over his face and obscuring his vision.
Hawkeye aimed an arrow at a civilian, barely missing his cheek as the man fell to the ground in terror.
"No…please. I have a wife!" he exclaimed. Hawkeye simply smirked as he aimed another arrow and shot.
However, another arrow seemed to fly in out of nowhere, and hit the first arrow before it hit the man. The eyepatched Hawkeye looked to his right and scowled, seeing this Earth's version of him standing there.
"No wonder the eye patch totally messed up your aim," joked around Hawkeye, as the true Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Spider-Man, Deadpool, Doctor Strange, Midnight Sons and the Guardians of the Galaxy all landed, standing across the Cabal.
"Look at that, reminds me of ourselves before, doesn't it?" asked the Cabal's Captain America, standing next to Iron Man and Wasp, while the rest joined behind them.
"Before we realized that all we did was causing more harm than good! Before we realized that our actions weren't enough for the world," shouted Cabal's Steve.
"So you destroyed it. You took away free will, committed genocide over mutant and Inhuman races and for what?! World peace?" asked the Avengers' Steve.
"We did what you all could never do. We crushed evil directly at the root of it. Ultron, M.O.D.O.K, hell even people like the Chameleon or the Absorbing Man weren't spared! Our world was a million times safer because we had to make the hard decisions. And now we're here on your Earth to make those decisions for you," replied Cabal's Steve.
"You don't need to pervert this Earth into your own twisted view of safety too, Rogers," replied Daredevil, clenching his batons.
"They meddled with ours, it's only fair we meddle back. And as for perversions, well I'm looking at them right now!" replied Cabal's Tony.
"I see what you mean by my narcissism being annoying now, y'know," said the Avengers' Iron Man to the others.
Cabal's Hawkeye laughed. "Look at all of you. "Earth's Mightiest Heroes," huh? Even with all of you together you can't stop what's coming," said Hawkeye.
"You mess with our Earth, you mess with all of us," replied Spider-Man, as he readied his web shooters.
"Fair enough then. Guess peace will once again be born out of blood," said Cabal's Steve, as the two groups charged at each other.
"FLAME ON!" yelled both the Human Torches at the same time, as one grabbed the other and flew to the sky, meanwhile Reed and Maker outstretched themselves far above the battle so they could fight overhead.
Spider-Man looped over Mr Fantastic and shot a web at a nearby building, before kicking Hawkeye directly in the chest and flipping backwards. He then bent over, as Moon Knight jumped off of his back, did a somersault and kicked Hawkeye.
"Wolverine!" shouted Cyclops, as Wolverine extended both his claws and made an X out of his hands. Cyclops aimed his laser at full blast, as the blast reflected off of Wolverine's adamantium claws and hit the Cabal's Invisible Woman's force field, weakening it.
"Thanks!" shouted the good Invisible Woman, as the telekinetically threw a car door directly through the force field, hitting the evil Sue with it.
"You think he still loves you?" asked Sue. "I've seen the way he looks at you, Maker doesn't care about you or Johnny anymore," she continued.
"LIAR!" shouted the evil Sue, as she made a bubble around her and grabbed Sue, flying out of the battle.
"Sue, I'm coming!" shouted Thing, as he began to leap after the two.
"Count me in, Dwayne Johnson!" shouted Deadpool, as he jumped onto Thing's back.
"Rocket, I need a lot of advanced weaponry. You got the Big One?" asked Star-Lord.
"Oh, you bet I got the Big One. The little Big One!" said Rocket.
"Woah, wait what's the "Big One?"" asked Daredevil, as he dodged Captain America's shield. Rocket pulled out a small device from his pocket.
"Strange! Remember what we discussed?" asked Rocket out loud, while Strange, who was busy dodging Iron Man's attacks quickly turned his head to look at Rocket.
"Yes, I do!" shouted Strange.
"Nice!" exclaimed Rocket, before getting hit by an explosive arrow.
"Hey, that counts an animal abuse!" shouted Kitty Pryde, as she rushed towards Hawkeye. All the arrows he shot seemed to go directly through her. She managed to punch Hawkeye in the face, while Colossus attacked from behind, grabbed him and threw him aside. Nightcrawler then teleported in and landed on Hawkeye's head, before flipping off of him.
"Hold on guys. I think I should deal with him," said the Avengers' Hawkeye, as he wiped some dust off of his shoulders. The Cabal's Hawkeye spat blood from his mouth as he stood back up, ready to throw hands.
"I got him!" shouted Spider-Man, as he shot a web at Cabal Iron Man's leg, trying to pull him down.
"Nice going, kid!" shouted Iron Man, as he fired a repulsor blast directly at Cabal Iron Man. Just then however, Cabal's Human Torch slammed into Spider-Man and pushed him to a wall.
"You know what happened to my Spider-Man?" asked Human Torch.
"Let me guess, he followed his dreams of becoming a stand up comedian?" asked Peter, struggling to break free.
"No, I singed him alive! Burned him to a crisp, and then his aunt!" exclaimed Human Torch.
"Well, I never knew roasted spider was a delicacy, but there we go!" said Spider-Man, as he looked behind Johnny and saw Storm flying above him.
"Oh by the way, Johnny, did you check the weather forecast?" asked Peter.
"Oh God, is this another joke?" asked Human Torch. Just as he asked that, Storm aimed a barrage of water directly at Human Torch.
"Yep, except you're the punchline!" exclaimed Spider-Man, before punching Johnny, leaping behind him and webbing him to the wall. Spider-Man then swung back to the ground.
"Sue, listen to me!" exclaimed the good Sue, while Cabal's Sue threw her on another roof.
"You're lying!" she exclaimed, as Invisible Woman cast a force field to protect herself from evil Sue, who also generated a force field around her. That's when Thing and Deadpool jumped onto the roof as well.
Cabal's Sue aimed an attack, however Thing simply ripped out a block of concrete from the roof and held it as a shield, protecting him and Deadpool.
"I got this one!" shouted Deadpool, as he leapt off of Thing and aimed both his swords down onto the force field, just penetrating them.
"Sue, listen to me. Reed barely loves you, if there's even a bit of Reed left in him. He's just the Maker now," said Sue. Cabal's Sue seemed to be in an unbridled rage.
"You have no idea what you're talking about, he's done so much for me!" replied Cabal's Sue.
"Like what? Tinkering with more gadgets?" asked Sue.
"Hey, Blondie Who Isn't Jessica Alba, when Blade and I attacked you, did that guy even come to help?" asked Deadpool, as the swords began to penetrate deeper and deeper. Cabal's Sue looked at the wound on her leg, then back at Invisible Woman.
"Will someone hold down the friggin Wasp?!" shouted Blade, as Ghost Rider rode in on his motorbike, wrapping the chain directly around her.
"Steel guy, assist!" exclaimed Blade. Colossus rushed to Blade, before lifting him up and throwing him directly at Wasp. Blade took out his sword and cut off Wasp's wings in one quick cut.
"WOAH!" exclaimed Wasp, as she began to fall to the ground. However, the good Human Torch caught her in time, before throwing her to Daredevil, who knocked her out with a spin kick.
"Wasp is down!" said Ghost Rider.
"So is Human Torch! Er, the bad one," said Spider-Man, as he backflipped away from evil Iron Man's attack.
"Sue is done too," said Thing, as the Cabal's Sue willingly surrendered to them.
Hawkeye ducked under Cabal Hawkeye's punch, before kicking his shin and knocking him to the ground.
"Hawkeye's down too," said Hawkeye, panting heavily.
"Where are the Captains?" asked Wolverine. "And Professor X?"
"I may need some help…with Maker!" exclaimed Mr Fantastic, as he was thrown into the side of a building.
"I got an idea! Johnny, you've seen Empire Strikes Back, right?" asked Spider-Man. Johnny instantly got what Peter meant.
"Ohhhh gotcha," said Johnny, as he flew higher. Meanwhile, Spider-Man began to swing around Maker's legs, wrapping them in webbing.
"NOW JOHNNY!" he exclaimed, as Human Torch let loose all the flames on the Maker, who's skin was barely injured by it.
"You think can fire can stop me? My dermal layers are literally elastic and toughened!" shouted Maker, as he tried to hit Human Torch from the sky.
"No, but it is heating you up," said Johnny. "And tiring you," he continued.
"Storm! I need a snowstorm!" exclaimed Spider-Man, as he landed on a nearby roof. Storm flew into the sky and conjured up a snowstorm, aiming it all towards Maker.
The sudden cooling combined with the heat began to shrink the Maker, causing his muscles to seize up.
"Thing!" shouted Spider-Man, who rushed to Peter's aid and grabbed the web, pulling hard as Maker fell to the ground. As soon as he hit the ground, he reverted back to his original size.
Mister Fantastic reverted back to his normal form too, as he stared down the Maker.
"You're still inferior to me, I have everything I've ever needed. You're a failure compared to me!" exclaimed Maker.
"I've got more than you. For one, my Sue still loves me," said Reed, as Cabal's Sue trapped Maker in a force field.
"Sue…what is the meaning of this?" asked Maker in a rash tone.
"Where were you when Johnny almost died? In your lab, working for Steve?" she asked through teary eyes, whereas Maker had no answer.
"Strange! I could use some help!" exclaimed Star-Lord, who dodged evil Iron Man's attacks. Rocket pulled out the small device and threw it to Star-Lord. Star-Lord and the Avengers' Iron Man both stopped in mid-air, facing down Cabal's Iron Man.
"NOW, STRANGE!" shouted Avengers' Iron Man, as Star-Lord threw the device towards Cabal's Iron Man. Strange cast a spell on it, which enlarged the device to be as large as Cabal Tony himself.
The spherical device seemed to open up and engulf Tony in it. That's when Avengers' Iron Man aimed a unibeam blast directly at the sphere, resulting in a massive explosion that sent Cabal Iron Man crashing to the ground.
"Iron Man is down," panted Star-Lord, as the 4 of them landed back to the ground.
"Now where are Cap and Professor X?" asked Tony.
"Up there," said Strange, pointing to the tallest building in Times Square.
"You sure Professor X can take him?" asked Cyclops.
"I cast a spell that allows him to walk for short periods of time," replied Strange.
On top of the building stood the Cabal's Steve Rogers, as both Avengers' Captain America and Professor X approached him.
"You did it. You defeated the Cabal. But I am the Cabal," said the evil Steve, as he turned around to face the two of them. "This is what it comes down to? A paraplegic who can finally walk, and a weaker version of me?"
"Charles, do it," said Steve.
"Are you sure about this?" asked Professor X.
"Do it, Professor," said Steve. Charles closed his eyes, and both the Steves suffered a massive ringing sound.
"AAAGHH!" exclaimed Cabal Steve. He opened his eyes and found himself in an empty ballroom.
"Oh God," he whispered, as Avengers Steve stood in front of him. "Do you recognize this place?"
"I danced with Peggy here…in the 1940s…" said Steve. Captain America chuckled as he snapped his fingers. They suddenly found themselves on an icy frozen lake.
"Remember the promise you made her?" asked Captain America, as Steve nodded.
"That if you somehow came back, you'd find her. You'd make the world a better place. And you owed her a dance," said Captain America. "Did you do that, Steve?"
"Dammit, I did it all FOR HER!" shouted Steve, charging towards Captain America, who ducked out of the way and suddenly they found themselves in a hospital room.
"Charles has put you in my mind, Steve," said Captain America. "Do you recognize this place?"
"Her hospital room, where she died," said Steve.
"You promised her you'd make the world a better place to live in," said Captain America.
"And I did just that!" shouted Steve, unleashing a flurry of rage filled punches, slamming Captain America to the ground, punching him repeatedly. Just then, the scenery changed again. They were now on top of Avengers Tower, however the entire city was on fire.
"Does this look like a better place to live in? You purged all the evil, but got rid of the good too," said Captain America, getting back up.
"Oh God…" said Steve, as he fell to his knees. Just then they snapped back to reality, as Charles was standing behind Captain America.
"Did it work?" asked Charles, as the duo saw Steve on his knees.
"Strange, get us down," said Captain America.
Spider-Man finished webbing up the last of the Cabal, as Captain America walked forward with a handcuffed Steve.
"We'll take them back to our world to face trial, with a fair judge and jury," said Moon Knight, as the rest of the Cabal stood up.
"Captain, do we-"
"No. It's over," said Steve, looking back at the Cabal with regret in his eyes. "What have I done…"
"Thank you so much, for all the help. Truly, it means a lot," said Daredevil, as him and the Midnight Sons along with the Guardians of the Galaxy opened up the portal.
Daredevil walked up to Spider-Man. "As far as I'm concerned, you're an honorary member of the Midnight Sons," he said, as he patted Spider-Man on the shoulder.
"Thanks, Matt," said Spider-Man, as they left through the portal with the Cabal.
"Well, that was certainly an adventure. It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance, all of you," said Charles.
"If the X-Men ever need a hand, any of us are available," said Iron Man.
"Likewise here, it was an honour fighting alongside all of you," said Reed.
"Now you're just speaking like Steve," said Strange.
"Did Strange just crack a joke?" asked Spider-Man, in awe and everybody chuckled.
"Anywho, anyone want some shawarma? I know this really good place Downtown," started Tony.
"Oh God not this again," laughed Hawkeye.
"Downtown? No the best shawarma is at Queens. Lamar's Deli," said Spider-Man.
"That's where you're wrong kid, it's actually Perez' Downtown," replied Tony.
"Okay yep, the X-Jet is here. See you guys around," said Cyclops, as the X-Men made their way to the landed X-Jet.
"We'd better leave too, see you guys around. And Pet- I MEAN SPIDER-MAN! We still gotta finish Uncharted 3," said Johnny.
Spider-Man almost yelled at Johnny when he almost gave away his identity, but instead he just nodded and laughed, as the Fantastic Four made their leave.
"Mhm, that's some not so subtle references, Shadow Strike," said Deadpool. "Well I'd better ^%*$ off too, to a place where I'm NOT censored," said Deadpool, rushing away.
"Speaking of which, I better get home unless my aunt calls the cops on me," said Spider-Man as he began to turn away.
"Spider-Man, wait," said Captain America, prompting Peter to turn around.
"You have showcased exceptional amounts of bravery these past few days. The kind that even some of us don't show," said Steve. "So, we talked it over, and we would like to offer you a place in the Avengers," said Captain America, extending a handshake.
Peter's eyes went wide, and he could barely find his breath. As soon as he regained it, he quickly shook Steve's hand.
"Uhhh…while it truly was super crazy working alongside you guys, not to mention the experience of a lifetime, I think I'd rather stay close to the ground you know? As much as I really really want to be a Avenger, believe me it's a dream, I feel I fit better as a more Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man," explained Peter, realizing that he was still shaking Captain America's hand.
Steve smiled. "No worries at all, you can always call us if things get out of hand" said Steve.
Peter smiled as he waved goodbye. "Please, after the week I just had, I just hope things stay normal for at least the next 3 months!" he exclaimed, as Spider-Man swung away.
Hawkeye sighed. "What a kid, am I right?"
"I'm pretty sure he's like 20," said the Wasp.
"Anyways, you guys down for shawarma at least?" asked Tony, as Steve chuckled and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Always."
