Before We Begin:Hello! And welcome to the special! It's me, your all time best pal AND reliable-ish narrator: Deadpool! I've come to tell you some key components about this Halloween (maybe) Special. Firstly, it's non-canon. Can't have this swimming around with the actual story, otherwise it'd make no sense. Secondly, this story, or rather, this version of the story will have you experience this wacky and crazy Halloween night mostly through the perspective of Ben. If you want to see the other half of the story, as well as some additional wacky content, I suggest checking out the version that will be under Spider-Man and Deadpool: Face the Music, where you can see the events unfold before the eyes of Peter Parker. Now that all of that is cleared up, let us begin the tale.
Ookie Spooky Skeletons 2: Spooky Ookie Skeletons: The Reckoning (Yes, This Whole Thing Is The Title)
Deep in the depths of the fiery pits of Hell, thousands upon thousands of lost souls slaved over menial tasks as they are forced to slave themselves to the dark lord himself, Mephisto, for the rest of eternity. Of these lost souls was one Daniel Berkhart, the second Mysterio but most recently Jack O'Lantern. Three years. he thought as he and the many lost souls mined the endless hell mines, Three years since my embarrassing defeat to that...that freak! Him and that Rider! "I will have my revenge Spider-Man!" he shouted, "Believe me, I will find a way out of here!"
"Oh, does somebody have a little blood lust over a costumed vigilante?" a mysterious voice called out.
Berkhart fell over in surprise and began looking all around him. "Who said that?" he asked. He looked to the man that was mining next to him and shook his shoulder, "Was that you?" he asked as he shook the lost soul only to get no response. "Hey! I'm talking to you!" he shouted. He turned the body around to see the man's face was just a jumble of magots, "AGH!" Berkhart again jumped backward in surprise, only this time falling into a wooden chair.
"Daniel Berkhart." the same voice called out out, this time he was mere feet away from Daniel. Daniel turned his body to see a tall man with grayed skin, and blackened out eyes with red pupils. He had medium length black hair that hung just past his ears. He wore an all green outfit with a belt that had a swirl design on the buckle as well as brown leather boots. He also wore shoulder armor that had pads extended outwards like saiyan armor and had a cape attached to it. On the center of his shoulder pads, by his chest a skull pendant. In his hands the man held a small, thin staff. He also had what looked to be a burn scar around his neck. The "man" was a demon, Nightmare. "Pleasure to officially meet you. I must say, I've enjoyed seeing your nightmares during your stay here in Hell." he chuckled.
"Who the here are you!?" Daniel asked as he looked around, wondering how he left his chain imprisonment of the Hell mines to what looked to be a small office.
Nightmare smiled, "I am Nightmare, Master of Dreams, Ruler of the Subconscious. And I," he said as he placed his hand to his chest, "am going to give you a massive second chance." he laughed before standing up and snapping his fingers, causing the desk and chairs to disappear and Daniel to fall on his ass. Daniel quickly stood up and began rubbing his butt in pain. "Now, you and I have something in common, I absolutely LOATH that Spider-Freak!" Nightmare growled he rubbed his neck and took a deep breath before continuing, "Anyways, I believe there is a way we can both get what we want."
Daniel straightened his body to attention, intrigued at what Nightmare was going to say. "You see, I have recently come into a fit of power, as well as the ability to jump between this universe and the one you encountered that wall crawler before. So I was thinking about killing two birds with one stone." Nightmare chuckled as he showed the images of Peter Parker and his clone, Ben Reilly. "Or rather, two spiders with one plan." Nightmare snapped his fingers to bring out Daniel's Jack O'Lantern outfit, complete with the pumpkin head and flaming sword. "So, what do you say?"
Daniel straightened his body to attention, intrigued at what Nightmare was going to say. "You see, I have recently come into a fit of power, as well as the ability to jump between this universe and the one you encountered that wall crawler before. So I was thinking about killing two birds with one stone." Nightmare chuckled as he showed the images of Peter Parker and his clone, Ben Reilly. "Or rather, two spiders with one plan." Nightmare snapped his fingers to bring out Daniel's Jack O'Lantern outfit, complete with the pumpkin head and flaming sword. "So, what do you say?"
Daniel looked at the demon and then his old costume before letting out a sinister smile, "Are you kidding? I've been waiting for my chance to get back at that freak!" Daniel held his hand out and Nightmare shook it, a black aura wrapped around the two's hands as they shook, signifying their deal was in place. Nightmare then transfered some of his power to Daniel, allowing him to gain a physical form once more as well as have his suit magically suit up on him. "Haha." Daniel laughed as the pumpkin formed around his head before lighting on fire showing it's sinister smile, "Hahahahahahahaha! Mad Jack is back, baby!"
Yokai Academy...
Ben, Tsukune, Moka and the rest of the Newspaper Club (sans Gin) all sat in the clubroom. Yukari was finishing up the editing on their current paper. Mizore was reading a shojo. Kurumu was doing her nails. Moka was humming happily as she looked at the school catalog that would be in the stalls for Halloween this year. And Ben, Kokoa and Tsukune all played through Smash Brothers. "Fuck you and fuck your dirt blocks you blocky bitch!" Kokoa shouted as Ben had, hilariously, edge guarded her by crafting dirt blocks just off the edge making it impossible for Kokoa to recover. Kokoa is a Shulk main, and of course Ben was using Steve. Tsukune was on the other side of the map using Richter, funnily enough.
"Don't get mad at me because I'm a master edge guarder." Ben replied with a laugh.
Tsukune let out a slight snort, "Yeah, you would be good at edge guarding." Ben and Kokoa looked at the human with confused expression, "You know, because like...you...you know? Like, something, something, joke about how you draw porn."
Ben smiled and pat Tsukune on his shoulder, "You are so, SO close. You're almost there. Soon my son. Soon."
"What are we doing for Halloween this year?" Kurumu asked, "I mean, last time we didn't exactly get to spend it together. I mean, we DID but we kinda ended up fighting each other."
"Mm, and Ben confessed his love for the 'Other' Moka too." Mizore said as she flipped the page of her manga, "Who knows, maybe Ben will get lucky this year."
"Pfft, lucky." Kurumu scoffed, "The only thing Ben's getting lucky with is an onahole."
"Uhh, excuse you, I can't afford an onahole. So nice try, wise guy." Ben said as he stuck out his tongue and laughed. "But Kurumu is right, we should all do something as a group for Halloween this year." Ben set his controller down and rubbed his chin in thought. He looked over to Moka and saw the catalog she was looking at, he then noticed an ad for what looked to be a haunted house, "Hey Moka, what's that ad, the one on the back?"
"Hm?" Moka flipped the catalog over and cocked an eyebrow in confusion, "Oh, I didn't see this earlier. 'Come one, come all to the ever impressive, ever expanding Monster Haunted House.'" she read, "'The most haunting experience you'll have this Halloween.' Huh, sounds like they really want people to check it out, but...why haven't I heard of this before?"
Kurumu popped her head over Moka's shoulder and read over the ad herself, a large grin forming on her face, "THIS IS PERFECT!" Kurumu yelled as snatched the paper from Moka's hands, "A haunted house is like, the perfect love event! Just think, dressing up in a sexy costume, being with the person you care for the most, clutching their arms going 'ahh it's so scary' even when it isn't that bad." Kurumu smiled happily as she imagined her in a seductive outfit, clinging to his arms as she screamed at obviously fake ghosts that were just sheets with holes on coat racks.
"That aside," Yukari said, both interrupting Kurumu's daydreaming and waving away her thought bubble, "we were planning on doing something together, remember? Also, if you actually read all the way through the ad you'll notice that it's today!"
Ruby frowned and rested her chin on her hands, "Damn, and where would we even get costumes on such short notice?"
Ben let out a slight chuckle, "I mean, I'm pretty good with a sewing machine. You give me a day I could adjust some of Peter's old suits and we could all go as like...the Power Rangers, but spider form."
"Power Rangers?" Tsukune asked.
Ben smacked his head in realization, "Uh, Super Sentai. Power Rangers was the American adaptation."
"Ah."
Yukari sighed and shook her head, "We don't have until tomorrow. If we want to make it we have a few hours to decide at best." She cupped her chin and leaned back in her chair in thought. Yukari than looked around the room and counted how many people were here, she then looked at who was sitting near each other. When Yukaro started getting an idea she gained a large grin across her face, she had an idea. An awfully funny idea. "I'VE GOT IT!" she shouted as she slammed her hands on the table, "To save on costs and time we shall dress up as each other! Boys will switch clothes, vampires will trade looks, blue and violet are pretty close to the same color. It's perfect!"
Ben nodded as he started getting an idea for what Yukari was saying, but he was still...confused, "Wait, but that would lead you and Ruby. And you two are...about half a meter different from each other."
"Yeah, and about three cup sizes away." Kurumu snorted. Yukari retaliated by pulling her hair and chomping down on her head. Ben nodded slowly before grabbing Yukari's hat and putting it on Ruby's head.
"Yeah, I think this'll work well." Ben said with a nod before showing a large grin and pointing his finger to the sky, "Alright guys, LET'S GO TO THE HAUNTED HOUSE!!!"
After a few short hours, everyone was dressed in their "costumes" and ready to have some fun, already leaving for the haunted house. Ben was "dressed" like Tsukune, but it wasn't much of a change. He just wore his standard school uniform and wrapped a cross necklace around his web shooter. Moka dressed up like Kokoa, but her clothes were a little small, so she had to wear one of her skirts so that she didn't show too much. Kokoa dressed up like Moka, which just involved her wearing the normal green uniform as well as letting her hair down. She also wore a cross necklace. Mizore and Kurumu switched clothes, by far the easiest switch for the two. Lastly, Yukari and Ruby "switched" clothes, but Ruby just cut her skirt short and wore Yukari's hat; while Yukari just wore extentions to match Ruby's hair as well as arm sleeves that connected at her middle finger.
The only one in an actual costume was Tsukune who wore Ben's old Scarlet Spider outfit. Tsukune kept trying to stretch out the suit to make it more comfortable, "Christ, Ben. How did you ever wear this? It's so...compressive."
"That's the point." Ben replied as he watched Tsukune struggle with the suit. He had to cover his face and stifle a laugh as Tsukune continuously tried to keep the suit from riding up in his ass. "Hey uh...are you wearing underwear?"
"What?"
"Underwear, like boxers or briefs, or the superior boxer briefs. You know, those things." Ben explained.
"Of course I am, why wouldn't I?" Tsukune asked with a confused expression. Ben took in a sharp breath and gave a face that made Tsukune feel like he said something wrong, "What? What's wrong with that?"
"It's better if you don't." Ben replied.
"WHAT!?" The girls and Tsukune asked in unison.
What the hell are you on about? 'Inner' Moka asked.
"Let me explain," Ben started, "See, wearing underwear in the suit is bad because the sweat will build up in the fabric and you'll end up chafing pretty badly, so it's by my recommendation that you should freeball it, dude." the teens stared at Ben with a mixture of disgust and confusion, "Don't look at me like that, it isn't weird! A bunch of heroes do it!"
"Oh? Name five." Kokoa said with smug smile.
Ben scratched his head with a nervous smile, "Uh...Captain Marvel. Spider-Woman and...uhhhhh...Siiilver Surfeeer?" he said, question his last choice, "Okay, so there's like three other people. But still not that weird.
"I'm just impressed he could actually name one other hero, let alone three." Mizore said with a nod.
Soon, the group approached a large mansion. It looked rundown in the front, creepy trees on the sides, headstones not to far from the mansion itself. The whole area gave off a Scooby-Doo vibe. "Wow, looks like the Resident Evil mansion." Ben said with a nod.
Tsukune shook his head, "Okay, it's Biohazard. Not Resident Evil." he chuckled, "It's okay though, I understand you being confused."
"Mmm, no. I know it's called Biohazard in Japan. But, it's Resident Evil." Ben said with a nod, "If you wanted it to be called Biohazard, then you should have kept the name Biohazard when shipping it over seas." Ben argued.
Tsukune let out a slight chuckle, "Heheh, no. Japanese game, Japanese name. It's Biohazard."
"Yeah, a Japanese game that wasn't dubbed in Japanese until 2012 in a Spin-off title that takes place before 5 and came out the same year as RE6." Yukari chuckled as Tsukune practically recoiled in shock from that devastating blow, "Hey Tsukune, you know where Resident Evil is most popular?"
"Where?" Tsukune groaned.
"NOT JAPAN!" Ben laughed as he pointed in Tsukune's face, "More popular in the US, we use the US name! That's the rules. Sorry, I don't make them, only enforce them."
"But--" Tsukune stopped as Moka patted his shoulder.
"It's okay Tsukune, Ben just made a better case than you." Moka said with a sweet tone.
"WHAT!?" Tsukune was practically pulling out his hair in frustration, "It's a Japanese game, for the love of god."
"Maybe they should have kept the same name then." Kokoa said with a shrug as she walked past the human.
"THAT ISN'T THE POINT!"
After the 'Great Resident Evil Debate', the group entered the mansion. As they walked inside they were greeted with a beautiful grand entrance complete with two staircases that led to the second floor on the left and right, with a catwalk connecting the two. Above them was a beautiful crystal chandelier. The teens walked through the entrance with a sense of awe. "Huh...don't you think it's weird that there isn't anyone here to greet us?" Yukari asked, "I mean, usually there is at least one person to get a cheap scare or explain some weird story right?" Looking down the teens noticed a sign that all but Ben could read, it said 'Haunted House Further In'. "Oh, that's convenient." The group walked through the doors and were shocked to see a practically open ballroom with nothing that could be considered part of a haunted house...unless the haunted house was themed off of The Shining. To their surprise, there were other people here, a large group of what looked to be teens.
The first was a man, roughly about the same height as Ben with clearly blonde dyed hair. He wore a black short sleeved hoodie and jeans as well as a pair of Converse. Over his hoodie he had what looked to be white armor plating with golden accents, the same could be said with his arms as he had shoulder pads, elbow guards, vambraces and light gauntlets all with the same white/gold aesthetic.
Next to him was a well endowned blonde woman with what looked to be Julia Carpenter's suit...or the Venom symbiote. Behind her though, was a dark haired woman with what looked to be an all black leather suit that had several belts attached. She also wore a cap that had red goggles resting on top of her head as well as what looked to be cat ears on top her head. Most notably, her suit was zipped down slightly to show some of her cleavage.
Behind the cat girl were two other girls both standing around five-foot-two. The first girl had black hair that tinted to red at her tips, she had silver eyes and fair skin. She wore a sleeveless white shirt that had a heart shaped boob window. Over that shirt was a black corset/vest combo. Metal sections of the corset outlined the bust as well as wrapping around her waist, while the black cloth tied at her gut and the collar popped up slightly at the top. She also wore a mid-thigh length vibrant pink skirt that matched her high-top shoes and fingerless gloves. Finally she wore white bicep arm sleeves. On her back she had a red metallic object, but Ben was unsure what it was. The other girl had long white hair that was put in a ponytail in a way to make it look as if she had messy short hair and blue eyes. She wore a green jacket with black and gold accents, as well as pink cuffs. She also had black vambraces, as well as white pants and black shoes. On her hip she had a rapier of all things.
Next to the group of girls was...Two girls and a guy cross dressing? Ben thought. Anyways...the first girl had short, orange, tomboyish messy hair and green eyes. She wore an yellow tube top shirt with a design on her left breast that looked like a heart that was on fire. Over her shirt was a brown jacket that showed off her midriff. The jacket was also only buttoned up just below her breasts and had poofy sleeves that tightened at the bicep where they ended. She had black booty shorts and a half skirt that went to about mid thigh in the back. She wore heeled leather boots that went halfway up her calf and wore knee high orange socks. One of the socks was pulled down to where the boot ended and the other had a lilac scar wrapped around it. Around her neck she wore an orange infinity scarf. And finally on her hands she wore black fingerless gloves. On her back was a fucking grenade launcher, of all things.
Next to her was the...giiiiirl??? With long black hair that was in a braided ponytail and pink eyes. "She" had longer hair tied in a off center ponytail with a white tiara around the pony. "She" wore a strapless white dress that merged into an icy blue as it got to the skirt. On the frills of the skirt was a snowflake pattern. Around the waist of the dress was light tied ribbon that was white and tinted into a icy blue at the bottom, like the dress. Over the dress "she" wore a white jacket with red lining that only went halfway down "her" back. The sleeves belled out and, just like the dress, tinted to an icy blue. On "her" feet she wore white heeled boots that also had the red inner lining. "Considering all the quotations we just saw around the pronouns, I think that 'She' is actually a 'He.'" Yukari pointed out.
Ben shook his head and turned to the small witch, "What?"
"What?"
Finally was the for sure crossdresser Ben could make out...unless it was just a very masculine looking woman. The man had medium length, thin blonde hair and blue eyes. He had on a black corset dress on. The corset was tied along the torso and the skirt bottom was roughly mid thigh in length. Around his waist was a belt that hung at an angle. Around his shoulders he wore a collar and sleeve only shirt. The collar was buttoned up around his neck and the sleeves poofed out slightly before tightening and cuffing at his wrists. He wore really long black stockings and black boots. Around his neck was a red cape that was held together by a rose pendant.
But, Ben could forget all of them...because he saw a very recognizable red and black spandex clad hero. "OH, KAINE!" Ben shouted as he dashed forward towards his brother.
Oh, it's Kaine. Fancy seeing him here. 'Inner' Moka stated and Outer Moka nodded.
As Ben dashed forward he held his hand up high in the sky before jumping up in the air, going for a power high five or sorts. Kaine reacted in the most logical way possible: by stepping to the side and letting Ben fall flat on his face. "I see you've missed me as much as I've missed you." Ben said, his voice muffled from the ground.
"You know him?" the girl with the white hair asked.
"Unfortunately..." Kaine slumped his shoulders and let out a long sigh, "He's our brother."
Ben stood up and began dusting himself off, Why is this place so dusty? Aesthetic? Ben thought. "Ben?" the man with the dyed hair asked. Ben turned around and his eyes met with the other boy's, his eyes widenening to the size of golfballs as he saw the one person he never expected to see again, his brother Peter. "Ben, what's up m--AGH!" Peter cried out in pain as he felt the, surprisingly stronger than he remembered, arms of Ben wrap around his body. "It's...good to see you too." Peter groaned as he was being crushed.
"GUYS!" Ben shouted back to his friends, "My brother's alive! Can you believe it!?"
"Holy shit, the original?" Tsukune asked, "I'm surprised, like, didn't Ben say he was on a different world?"
Kurumu shook her head slightly and turned to Tsukune with a confused expression, "That's what you took from that? Didn't he say he was dead?"
"Obviously he's not dead if he's here now. That's why Ben was yelling, 'He's alive! He's alive' you dingus." Yukari snorted.
"Shut up!"
"Is...Is he stupid?" the white haired girl asked as she leaned towards Kaine, "Why is his speech so jumbled."
"Apparently somebody has never heard of culture." Ben replied with a cocky grin, "It's called Japanese, it's a different language. Do you not know of different languages?"
"You mean like how animals communicate?" the silver eyed girl asked with a cocked eyebrow, "Because believe me, I've tried...a lot. And Zwei doesn't seem like he understands. Actually, he probably thinks I'm crazy, haha."
Ben shook his head, "No I meant like different--" he shook his head wildly and flailed his arms around, "HOLD UP! Put a pin in that, HOW THE HELL ARE YOU HERE!? HOW ARE YOU ALIVE!?" Ben asked as he repeatedly shook Peter back and forth from the collar.
"Wait, wait, wait...hold on." Kokoa said as she began shaking her head in disbelief, "Who the fuck is this!?"
"This is my brother! My genetic template!" Ben replied.
Kokoa's eyes only seemed to get wider and she started darting her eyes between Ben and Peter. Finally, she gripped her head in pain, "Oh my god, three of them...there's three of them." she said in English.
"Oh wow, English!" Peter exclaimed, "Man, what a good dub, the lip synch is seriously on point! Who's your voice actress because she's amazing." Peter chuckled before looking to Ben who seemed to just stare at him with a look of disbelief. "Oh my god! Was that racist?" Peter gulped and stretched out his collar to try and get some air.
"Pffft." Ben couldn't hold back his laughter any longer as he let go of Peter, having him fall to the ground, while he stood and let out a loud belly laugh, "God dammit. 'Lip synching' HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THAT!"
Kokoa pointed down her throat and gagged, "Oh god...they even laugh at the same jokes. This is literally my worst nightmare."
Kaine groaned as he walked over to Peter and lifted him off the ground before smacking him in the back of the head, causing Ben to laugh even harder. "Oh you think that's funny, huh?" Kaine asked, Ben laughed and nodded in response. Kaine chuckled sinisterly before bopping Ben on top his head.
"OW! I bit my tongue bith." Ben complained.
"Keep it up, I'll cut it off next time." Kaine replied. Ben responded by going for a punch, but Kaine ducked so Peter got hit instead.
"OW!" Peter yelled as he jerked his hand forward and smacked Kaine in the back of the head.
Kaine let out a sinister growl as he seemed to tower over Peter, "Why I outta--" Kaine smacked Peter twice across the face before stomping on Ben's toes and gut checking him.
"OooooooOooo!!" Ben began twirling his hand in the air before trying to poke Kaine in the eyes, only to hear a clink sound. "...Oh yeah, you have your mask on."
"Alright you stooges," Kaine said as he grabbed Peter and Ben and slammed their heads together, "Now, can we focus at what's at hand? Did nobody notice that we were all here together, in the same room, AT THE SAME TIME!?" Peter and Ben looked at each other for a few moments before realization dawned on them. "Good, so tell me, how did you all get to upstate New York?"
Peter scrunched his brow in confusion, "Upstate New York? No dude, we're outside of Argus. That's on Remnant."
Ben shook his head, "We were going to a haunted house in the monster world for a Halloween party." the three brothers all looked at each other. Ben and Peter curled their lips in and frowned, and it could be assumed that Kaine was making a similar expression, "We fell into a trap didn't we?" the all asked in unison.
"This is so surreal." Mizore pointed out, "I mean, Peter and Ben are practically the same person. Peter even dyed his hair blonde."
Kokoa scoffed, "Oh please, Ben is clearly the better looking one." Kokoa's cheeks flushed when she realized what she had said, "T-T-That didn't come out the way it was supposed to!"
Suddenly, the lights in the mansion went out before a spotlight turned on at the back end of the room. "Ladies and gentlemen," a mysterious voice began, "Thank you for joining us this lovely Halloween night. We promise, this party's gonna be a reall bash! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you may even...DIE. AHAHAHAHAHA! So strap in, let the night begin, and and don't think of leaving escape is impossible...but you can try! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Finally, from a puff of smoke a figure appeared in the light in all his green armor and pumpkin head glory, it was Jack O'Lantern!
"Who the fuck is this clown?" Kokoa asked.
"KOKOA!" Ben gasped before letting out a chuckle, "Language."
"Are you ready for your death, Spider-Man?" Jack asked. A light shone overhead that hovered back and forth before landing on Peter, surprising him that this guy knew his identity. "Awe, don't look so surprised. After all, it was you who ruined me! You who put me in that literal hell hole!"
Peter backed up towards his friends with a confused expression, "Hey, do you guys know this dude?" he whispered, his friends shook their heads quickly in response, "I didn't think so. Hey! Sorry but...who are you?"
"WHAT!?" Jack's voice boomed seemingly causing the mansion to shake, "Don't toy with me, brat! I am Jack O'Lantern. The Pumpkin King of the night!"
"Do you know this guy?" Peter asked as he leaned towards Ben.
"Nah, this guy looks like a Hellstrom villain or something." Ben replied, the two brothers both nodded in understanding. "Hey, you guys got any idea who this is?" Ben asked his friends in Japanese. The others just shook their heads.
Jack looked out at the confused faces of the teens and growled in response. Not just over Spider-Man forgetting who he even is, but also to the extra teens who showed up with the clone. Dammit Nightmare! You didn't tell me there'd be backup for the other one! And even a third spider arrived! What's that all about!? "Fine," Jack huffed as he snapped his fingers, "Since you want to play coy I suppose I'll have to remind you. WITH MY NEW ARMY!" The ground in the mansion began to shake and a set of doors towards the back burst open allowing a massive horde of demonic looking creatures to come flooding in.
"Oh finally," Kaine chuckled, "I was wondering when we would get to some action." A large wolf creature that ran ahead of the pack seemed to focus on Kaine. Why? Ben wasn't sure, maybe he smelled funny. The creature was quick to find out the strength of Kaine as he grabbed the creature by its throat in mid air. The creature thrashed and growled before howling in pain as Kaine's 'Mark of Kaine (MoK)' began to burn its throat. Finally, to finish off the creature, Kaine released his stinger which went through the creature's throat and out the other side, having it dissipate into ash almost instantly. "Well...looks like we have to thin the wolf population. Damn shame."
"Maybe leave the one-liners to professionals, huh big guy?" the busty blonde said with a grin as she stretched and got into a fighting stance. Soon the rest of Peter's friends followed suit. "You know like, 'Guess now we'll see who's Top Dog'."
Kaine shuddered, "I pray for Parker's sake you're at least good in bed. You're bad jokes make me want stop breathing." Kaine's diss made the blonde (apparently Peter's girlfriend) gasp in bewilderment while making catgirl and white haired girl snort a little louder than intended. "Jesus...Ben, you have any better one-liners?"
"Hahahaha!" Ben laughed as he jumped up and down a few times before rolling his right shoulder and bringing his wrist towards his face, "Oh, would you look at the time...it's Ass-Kick o'clock." Ben looked over to his friends and cleared his throat, switching to Japanese again. "Guys, did you hear that? I said 'It's Ass-Kick o'clock!' HA! I kill me!" his friends just groaned in response as they started getting in fighting stances of their own. Mizore brought out her ice claws, Kurumu let her wings and tails loose (apologizing to Mizore for ruining her shirt) and extended her nails. Tsukune stepped in front of Moka to protect her, Kokoa cracked her knuckles, and both Ruby and Yukari got ready for a fight with their magical items.
Ben got in his southpaw fighting stance and Peter started to crouch to get into his stance. Kaine, to Peter's surprise, reached behind his back and unsheathed the sword he had, holding over his head at a downward angle as he crouched slightly. Peter's friends all seemed to get in a fighting stance and Ben gave a thumbs up to the monster teens, "Hey Ruby, we'll probably need communication. Do you know that All Tongue spell that Oyakata used?"
"I do...but it takes time." Ruby said with a groan.
"Well, sounds like we'll have to buy you time!" Ben held his hand out and fired a webline and took to the air. Firing another line he took a deep swing and kicked one of the monsters in the air where he punched the creature a couple of times before wrapping him in a web cocoon. When that was done, he shot a webline at the creature and spun it around in the air before slamming it in the ground.
"HEY, WATCH IT ASSHOLE!" Kokoa shouted out as she hurdled the creature before stopping in her tracks, turning around and slamming her fist in the monster's face, having it dissipate into ash. "Oh, that's convenient, it cleans up by itself."
Ruby, taking Ben's advice, prepared for the incantation that should grant her party with the All Tongue for a short period of time. Tsukune hung back with Moka in order to protect the two of them from getting hurt. Sure, he could release Moka now, but best if they wait until they have no other choice but to rely on her. Meanwhile, he himself could probably help out the others, but he still doesn't have complete confidence in his own abilities.
Kurumu, like Ben and Kokoa, was quick to get into the action by slicing through dozens of the blackened creatures. To her surprise, despite the bone like armor on their bodies, she found that the creatures strangely broke down easily by her attacks. Almost like she was cutting through butter. She couldn't explain it, but it was almost like a crazy power scale between her and these creatures.
Looking to her left, Kurumu saw two girls fending off a large group of the creatures. One was the cat eared girl, fighting for a small sword, and the other was the one with red tinted hair and a large red scythe. Kurumu saw that they were going to be flanked by the creatures. Gritting her teeth, Kurumu took off at a rapid speed, flying to the monsters that were set to harm her temporary allies. As she reached the two girls she landed and slid across the ground, spinning and slicing through multiple creatures before screeching to a halt, dust being kicked up from her shoes.
"Uh, thanks for the help. Um...what's your name?" The cat girl asked.
Kurumu stood straight and stared at the girl for a few seconds before giving a nervous smile and rubbing the back of her head. "Boy, I really wish I payed more attention in our English class, because I have no idea what you're asking me."
The cat girl and the small girl with a scythe looked at each other with confused expressions, "Um...what?" the cat girl asked, Kurumu still not quite understanding what she said.
"She said that it was no problem." Ben replied as he swung by and drop kicked a creature in the face, "But don't think she understands you well, she just knows bits and pieces." Ben dodged an attack by bending backward at a 45 degree angle before using a webline to pop himself up and send a massive jab across a creature's face that sent it flying to Jaune. "Oh, and her name is Kurumu."
Kurumu went back to fighting against the monsters, she had used her wings to fly back and gain some distance before she got over run. When she landed she stood next to the cat girl and the scythe weilder. "Hey, uh...Kurumu?" Kurumu, hearing her name, turned to face the cat eared girl with a curious expression. "Uh...let's...do this?" Kurumu only tilted her head in confusion.
"OH!" The scythe girl said excitedly. She pointed to Kurumu, then to herself and then to the catgirl before flexing, "YEAH!"
Kurumu gave a smirk in understanding before throwing her fist in the air, "Ya-hoo-hoo!"
Yukari, trying to be as helpful as she can, began to take out creatures left and right right while manipulating her tarot cards. As she sliced through these mysterious creatures she noticed the orange haired girl and the long black haired...probably man as well as the blonde cross dressing man. She sent her Tarot cards forward and sliced through a large group of the monsters, giving them some relief, however there still seemed to be an endless swarm of these black creatures advancing. "Ahh! There is just TOO MUCH!" the orange haired girl complained as she slumped her shoulders in irritation.
Peter looked around at all the monsters and frowned. Even he knew that soon they'd get overwhelmed, "Hey uh...if anyone has any suggestions, I'm willing to listen."
Ben looked back to his friends and whistled, "Mizore!!" he shouted, "Now's the time to pull out that special Yuki-Onna power, huh? Like, the one where you do that thing and it's kinda like what Todoroki did in My Hero Acedemia? You know, during the tournament arc?" Mizore rolled her eyes and smirked before stepping forward and rolled up her sleeves slightly before lunging forward and sending out a massive ice wave. The resulting ice that formed froze all the monsters in place and even covered the back half of the room, even breaking through the wall into the next.
"So like...you couldn't have done that earlier?" Kaine asked as he crushed the last wolf-like creature that wasn't frozen beneath his feet.
"NO!" Jack shouted in anger, the fire on his head burning brighter. "You...you damn brats. I won't let you ruin this for me! I will kill you, even if it means I have to kill every single one of you!" The room began to shake and Ben's Spider Sense began to blare. "If the Grimm can't kill you then I'll just have to try something else!" Black tentacles began shoot up from the ground leading to the monster teens to yell in surprise. Ben turned to his left and saw the blonde chick that was with Peter. His senses going off Ben fired a webline forward slingshotted himself towards her. Successfully tacklling her out of the way before she got impaled by one of the tentacles.
Ben had to quickly moves his hands away because he realized he had gotten to cup fulls of her chest. "Awe, Peter, we're out in the open." the blonde said before stealing a kiss from Ben causing his eyes to nearly pop out of his head.
"WOAH!" Ben yelled out as he pushed himself off of the girl, a large blush across his face. "Uh...um, I'm not Peter, I'm Ben."
The blonde's expression quickly changed from happy to embarrassed, smacking her head with her metal prosthetic arm, "Oh my God." she said as he face became redder, "I am SO sorry. It's just...you and Peter look the same, and he even dyed his hair. Oh god."
"Oh great, I'm stuck with you." Ben turned to see Kaine smacking his head in frustration, "Why...I'd rather have the vampire."
"I love you too." Ben replied sarcastically. "Hey, so I don't keep stumbling over names can we quickly get introduced here? I'll start. Hi, I'm Ben Reilly I'm a clone and I draw porn."
The blonde girl blinked a few times, trying to comprehend what she just heard, "Uh...I'm Yang Xiao Long, and I'm Peter's girlfriend and if you could do me a favor and not tell him I kissed his clone brother, I'd greatly appreciate it."
The girl with the scythe walked forward, "Hi, uh, I'm Ruby! I'm the leader of Team RWBYS and," she leaned forward and held her hand to her face, "I think I'm Peter's favorite sister in-law." she whispered.
Ben shook his head, "No no, you aren't Ruby," he pointed his thumb behind him to his friends and Peter, "That's Ruby." Ruby looked behind Ben to see Peter pointing at her. Ruby smiled at Peter and waved.
"Ruby, Yang and Peter aren't married." the girl with the white hair said with a sigh, "Don't listen to her. I'm Weiss, our resident faunus here is Blake," she said pointing to the cat eared girl, "The hyperactive one with the hammer is Nora," she said pointing to the orange haired girl who quickly ran up to Ben and began examining his face.
"Hmm...Are you SURE you are a clone? You have blonde hair, and blue eyes!" Nora exclaimed before pointing at Ben menacingly, "IMPOSTER!"
"What? Of course he's an imposter he's a clone." Kaine said with a shake of his head. Kaine tried walking to the other side of the room but felt an invisible wall, "Great. A barrier."
Weiss sighed and continued, "The one with black hair is Ren, and the blonde dolt is Jaune."
"Good news and bad news." Kaine announced as he returned to the group, "The good news is that we are split apart from Ben's monster friends. The bad news is that we're stuck with Ben."
"Hey, that's me!" Ben exclaimed causing Yang to let out a loud snort. Ben's expression became more serious as his Spider Sense went off again, "Uh oh..." In the middle of the room, splitting itself between the barrier, was a large black creature, likely the source of the tentacles from earlier.
"Now," Jack began, "Our real party can begin! If you live...well, I'll be waiting for you at the rear end of the mansion. Good luck 'heroes!'" and with that, Jack left their sights leaving the giant creature with them to deal with.
"Oh sure, just leave without offering CANDY!" Nora yelled, "Just what sort of Halloween host are you!?"
Ren shook his head, trying to hide a smirk, "Nora, I don't think he ever had intentions of being a host. In fact, I'm pretty sure he's admitted several times now that he's trying to kill us."
Nora stomped her foot in annoyance and gave a pouty face, "Still doesn't mean he couldn't give us candy." Suddenly the creature sent a near ear piercing shriek, followed by multiple red cysts that began to cover its body. "Oh geez, talk about bad skin care."
Ruby frowned as the creature screeched again, "How are we supposed to fight this thing?" The group looked to Ben and then to Kaine. Kaine sighed and gripped his sword tight before walking up to the creature and stabbing through one of the large cysts which caused it to scream in pain and thrash its tentacles about. So much so that Kaine had a feeling it ended up hitting the monster teens on the other side. The cyst that Kaine stabbed then exploded and sent him flying backward, sliding across the ground until he used his adhesive ability to come to a stop.
"Hey, so this thing has giant glowing 'fuck me' buttons." Kaine exclaimed, "Also it seems that they blow up when enough penetration is taken to them so...Well, at least we know that Parker is up for it."
"What?" Ben asked with a confused grin.
"Because it sounds like the blonde one is sleeping with him."
Ben nodded before his eyes widened in surprise, "Wait, Parker got laid?"
"Really not important right now!" Blake complained, "Any ideas?"
Ben dodged a tentacle swipe before it dawned on him, "OH!" he snapped his fingers, "IT'S LIKE A BOSS FROM RESIDENT EVIL!"
"God dammit, it's Biohazard!" Tsukune yelled from the other side of the room.
Yang rolled to the side before throwing her fist forward and sending a shotgun blast from her prosthetic arm, "Okay...and what does that mean?"
"'Fuck me' buttons are obvious buttons that are used to present where the weakness is. In the Resident Evil series there is a bunch of bosses with giant glowing eyes over their body which are the obvious weak points." Kaine explained, "You guys have guns. Fire away."
Nora smiled and fist pumped, "All RIGHT!" she shouted as she transformed her large hammer into a grenade launcher and fired a grenade at the creature. It didn't seem to break any of the cysts, but the creature did seem to stagger and cry in pain.
As the other teens began to open fire upon the giant creature, Kaine began to hang back and work as a defender because he realized that it was better to not potentially get shot by teenagers with guns. No, instead he opted to be a sort of personal defender for Weiss as he determined her, strangely, the weaker of the group. Ben, meanwhile, noticed a bright light shine from the other side of the room as well as felt a surge of familiar energy. "GUYS!" Ben shouted as he ran up to the barrier, "We figured it out, you need penetration to break through the cysts skin!" Ben clapped his hands and pointed at Peter, "And from what I heard you should be pretty good at penetration, aye Pete? HAHA! Heyyo! High five, guys!" Ben held his hand up to recieve high five, only for him to high five himself after he got tired of waiting.
"Oh sorry, we don't have guns like you." Moka, now in her Inner form, said with a roll of her eyes.
"Hm, sucks. Looks like you'll have to just kick it real hard or something--YOU'RE A VAMPIRE!! Literally one of the strongest beings on Earth!" Ben's Spider Sense went off and he backflipped away from another one of the tentacles, "Uh yeah, kindly hurry on defeating your side...we're getting like skeletons and stuff over here." Ben gulped as he looked as the creature began...vomiting(?) out what looked to be skeleton warriors straight from Jason and the Argonauts or Army of Darkness. "What the fuck?"
"What the fuck?" Kaine asked.
"AGH! What the hell is that!?" Jaune yelled out as his eyes practically came out of his sockets.
Blake gulped slightly as she reloaded her sword/gun, "Do you guys have any plans on...the reanimated?"
"I can only cut through so many at a time." Kaine groaned as he released a stinger in his left palm to sharpen the edge of his sword, "Ben, you're clearly the odd man out here. You got anything that'll help?"
"Uhhh, yeah." Ben nodded, "It'll be a little uncomfortable for a few minutes 'cause I grew a few inches in the lower region, but I'll try." Ben held his left hand up to his face and smirked before swiping his hand to left, "HENSHIN!" as he said that the Nano-tech began to move along his body until the Iron Spider Mk. II was visible along his body and then finishing with his mask covering his face and the lenses glowing with a faint blue hue.
"The fuck is this?" Kaine asked, "Who do you think you are? Kamen Rider?"
"WhO dO yOu ThInK yOu ArE, kAmEn RiDeR?" Ben mocked with a high pitched voice, causing Yang to snort. "Let's just deal with these Jack Skelington wannabes." Ben got in his fighting stance, as did Kaine and the teens from Remnant. "God dammit, can't I have one Halloween where I have a shot at pussy instead of feeling like one."
"What?" Yang asked with a really confused expression.
"I have a thing for the silver haired chick in my group of friends."
"Ah."
Ben shot a webline out forward and got into the fray of the battle with Kaine, Yang, Blake and Ruby not far behind. Kaine and Blake were able team together, slicing and dicing through skeletal forces like nothing. Ben and Yang were surprisingly doing well as a team, fighting similar to how Ben and Moka would fight together except Yang mainly used her hands instead of her legs. Ben ducked a slice from a skeleton and used his legs to trip the warrior to the ground which allowed Yang to get a finishing blow with a shotgun punch to its face. Ben then reached down and grabbed Yang by her prosthetic before flinging her around and having her kick several more of the skeletons down. "WOO! Just like fighting with Peter." Yang cheered.
Ruby began twirling her scythe around her body, chopping through the skeletons as they got close. She then quickly transformed her weapon from her scythe form to its high caliber rifle form. She let off a few shots to take out several skeletal warriors before using another gunshot to help her gain momentum to spin the weapon and have it transform back into its scythe again. As more skeletons came they were stopped dead in their tracks thanks to Weiss stabbing her sword into the ground and freezing them in place. The group was then finished by Nora who sent a grenade at them and ended up blowing the skeletons away.
Jaune and Ren were doing well to hold their own, but truthfully they moved towards Kaine and Blake becausw that seemed like the safer bet. "Man, it's cool that we have twice the Spider-Men to help us now...but I feel like this would be easier if we had someone like Deadpool with us." Jaune complained. Jaune then suddenly felt a strong grip around his throat as Kaine lifted him up.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO SUMMON THAT FUCKING MANIAC!?" Kaine growled, "What are you, insane!?" as Kaine said this the glass of the room shattered and a mysterious figure dropped down towards them.
"Oh, is that Deadpoo--GUAH!" Jaune tried to cheer but he felt Kaine's grip grow tighter. To Jaune's surprise, and Kaine's answered prayers, but it wasn't Deadpool who dropped into the room with the teens, but instead a really small girl, roughly about four-feet in height with fair skin and brown and pink hair.
"Neo?" Yang asked.
"From the Matrix?" Ben asked with a chuckle. As he asked that one of the skeletal warriors slammed its sword against Ben's head causing the sword to shatter to pieces leaving only a little bit at the bottom and the hilt itself. The skeleton looked down at its hilt then back up to Ben, then back to its hilt and back to Ben. The skeleton then shrugged and tried to stab Ben, but Ben just gripped the skeleton by its skull and crushed it. "Bitch."
Kaine looked down at the little girl, Neo, "So like...are you strong or..?" the girl just looked up to Kaine and tilted her head.
"She doesn't talk." Blake explained, "She seems to only have communication with Deadpool. But I guess she's good friends with Peter too."
The teens were cut off by the sound of the large creature shrieking in pain. Looking up they saw that it had been frozen in ice, then just as quickly disappeared as Moka sent a massive kick to shatter the creature. "HOLY CRAP!" Yang yelled out, "Wait, is that the silver haired chick you were talking about?" she asked as she turned to Ben.
"Yeah, she's great, ain't she?" Ben chuckled. "WAY TO GO MOKA!" he cheered. Moka turned to him and gave a sweet smile. Suddenly, there was a loud cracking sound, and almost in an instant the floor beneath the Yokai Students, Peter and Deadpool (somehow), and the group fell down with the floor. "MOKA, GUYS!" Ben shouted as he tried rushing to his friends who fell through the floor, but still ended up hitting the barrier. Behind the teens, a door opened leading to the left hand side of the mansion.
"Hey, dumbass. I don't think we're gonna run back into them any time soon." Kaine said as he lifted his mask off and pulled a pack of cigarettes and put one in his mouth, "C'mon. We have our way, they have theirs. Whether we like it or not, we're with the Parker's friends.
Ben nodded, "Okay, but before we keep going, hey Blake, can I get a selfie with your ass?"
"I...what!?" Blake's face became red as she covered her butt with her hands, "What kind of question is that?"
"Well, I'm a porn artist and I need a reference for a piece I just thought of. Also because you have a really nice ass. Definitely S tier." Blake just turned around and began walking towards the door, "Is that a no?" Kaine could only groan and pinch the bridge of his nose as a large puff of smoke left his mouth.
To Be Continued...
A/N: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
HOLY FUCK. Okay, so some of y'all may not know, but now you do. I'm do a Halloween Special and it's a crossover Yaaaay! Guess what? Life decided to bite me in the ass! I have so many essays to do, finals will be coming up soon, I'm slacking. It took me forever to write this alternative chapter 1.
And...I'm just so burnt out man. This isn't a sign that I'm quitting! Far from it, but like, if you didn't know this has been my most productive year-to-year period. Between 3 stories (4 if you count the smut) I have written 40 chapters. That's so much. If you want to know, not including these Halloween specials, I've written something like 3.5 chapters a month for 11 months give or take. So because of that I have made a decision, I'm going to take a break. After I finish this Halloween (likely to end in mid November now ngl) Special I'm gonna take a break until the next semester. That gives me like 2 months of break time. That gives me enough time to relax, play some games, just enjoy the holidays and what not.
So just letting you guys know now. Don't expect any new mainline chapters until mid January.Sorry if this upsets you, I'm just spent man. See you with the final part of the special...whenever I get it finished.
