Sweet Home (Part 2)

"Hello!" FanFan called out, "Mother, father! FanFan and Rinrin have returned!" he happily skipped about the front room calling in all sorts of directions hoping he'd get a response.

The teens all seemed to stare in awe at the massive palace like structure. A large stairwell was in front of them as well as several doors on the bottom and second level that led to who knows where. Ben blinked a few times as he looked at the red, mahogany and cream interior that adorned the walls, pillars, doors and staircase. "Wait a second..." Ben said as he had to do a double take, "A giant mansion, nobody's here, zombie," he pointed to Rinrin and rubbed his chin in thought before snapping his fingers, "This is the Wesker Mansion from Resident Evil!"

Tsukune let out a slight laugh before giving Ben a smug smile. "Resident Evil?" Tsukune shook his head while chuckling, "Oh Ben, you poor naive fool. I think you mean Biohazard."

"Fuck you, it's called Resident Evil everywhere else and sells more copies in the west." Ben shot back, "If you want it to be called Biohazard than you should have fought to keep that name when distributing it."

"Haven't you two had this argument before?" Moka asked, "Like...recently?"

The two boys looked at each other and shrugged, "I don't know, probably?" Tsukune said as he rubbed the back of his head, "Like, in all honesty, we have this argument once or twice a week." Moka pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a long, exasperated sigh. "Hey, at least it's over something like that and something stupid." Tsukune scoffed. Again, Moka let put another, even louder, sigh.

FanFan turned around and saw his friends, and Iron Fist, still standing by the doorway. Quickly he moved to Kurumu and clutched her hand, "Come, come!" he said with glee, "No need to be shy, just think of this place as your home!" FanFan gave such an infectious smile even Kurumu couldn't help but smile back as the young son of a mafia boss began to prance and twirl the front room with glee while continuing to call for his parents.

"What's wrong with him?" Mizore asked with a disgusted face, "Like, he was always weird before but this is a whole new level."

Yukari furiously nodded her head in response, "It's honestly going to make me sick."

"I believe that is an emotion called 'joy'." Iron Fist chuckled, "Perhaps you monsters don't understand it, but it's a feeling people have when they are elated about something." Ben quickly moved between Iron Fist and Mizore to try and break the tension that no doubt would come. "Regardless, your friend seems happy. Good. Hopefully that joy works in my favor." Iron Fist said as he cupped his chin and nodded.

Rinrin shook her head and smirked, "Obvious ulterior motives aside. He's happy because you all came." she said while looking at Tsukune, "Despite his looks, he is still the successor to the Won Family. He grew up burdened by his family in a lonely environment where everybody feared him." she nodded and looked at the teens with a smirk, "As far as I know, this is the first time that FanFan has brought friends to this place."

The room was a little quieter as the teens reflected on what they heard. Ben, Kurumu, Yukari and Mizore all looked to each other with similar expressions. Ben then turned to Rinrin and nodded slightly, "So...who exactly are you referring to when you say 'friends'?" Ben asked and the girls began nodding in agreement, "Because I don't think we fit that description." Moka had to cover her mouth so the others didn't see that she was holding back her laughter towards Ben's bluntness.

Rinrin frowned slightly, "Ah, couldn't let that slip by, huh?"

"Hey, what do you mean!" FanFan cried out with a saddened expression, "I can hear you you know, and you are really hurting my feelings!" FanFan was quick to snap out of it as he smacked the sides of his head a few times and put on a smile, "Well, it's alright." he said with a smile, "The fact that all of you are here, it just means I'm ever closer to my dream."

While this was happening, Moka looked around the opening room and noticed something...awfully peculiar. Ura, don't you think something is strange? Omote asked as Moka looked around. Moka was about to say something, but was stopped, "You noticed it too, right?" Iron Fist asked, "A creature such as yourself. Perceptive, intelligent, and you have the ability to sense chi." he nodded, "You must have realized it by now. The presence of someone else's chi is absent. It's as if we are the only one's here."

"Yeah." Moka nodded, "Actually I was just thinking about it." The mansion and it's proportionate size, it should be sprawling with people. But I can't sense anyone, there wasn't even a guard on duty. Omote added. "Yeah." Moka said quietly, "It's like some sort of ghost town...or, in this case, a ghost palace." Moka clicked her tongue and she looked towards Rinrin, "Hey, Rinrin. There's one thing I'd like to confirm. Is the person we've come to meet--Touhou Fuhai--really here?" The other teens looked at each other all having similar expressions of concern, "Or rather, is there even anyone in this mansion right now? Look around. Nobody's here, I can't even detect anyone's aura aside from who's here in the room right now."

FanFan gripped his chin and frowned, "Now that you mention it, it is strangely quiet. Nobody's come to greet us, and I'm certain I told them I was coming."

Moka frowned, "So if nobody is here...it stands to reason that the danger is still here and could be cloaking his aura in some way."

Ben patted Moka on her shoulder, "Relax. If the danger was still present I'd be the first to let everyone know." Ben tapped the top of his skull a few times, "Spider Sense hasn't gone off once since we've been here. I think that it's highly possible the threat, if there even was one, is long gone by now." Moka frowned, she didn't seem completely convinced with Ben's intuition, but...Stop it. Omote warned. What? Ura replied in her head. I know what you're thinking. I'm gonna say what you would say: Please don't think with your crotch. I know you have your thing for him, but don't let that get to you. Wha-!? I'm not thinking with my crotch! Ben's intuition is just...accruate. "Moka?" Ben asked, "You okay."

"Fine." Moka replied, straightening herself quickly. "I trust you." So transparent. Fuck off!

Rinrin looked around the foyer and felt a weird sense of unease. It was definitely too quiet. Even for a dead person like her was more lively. Rinrin hummed before nodding. "Reilly and Moka are right. It is a little too quiet in here. Is everyone out?" she asked. Holding her hands out in front of her she began to hop forward. "I'll be back soon. I'll call for someone to greet us." FanFan tried to stop his sister with a worried expression, "Don't worry FanFan. I'll be right back." she assured, "For now just take everyone to the guest room and enjoy some tea." she smiled before disappearing down the long, seemingly endless, hallway.

It had been nearly a half hour since Rinrin went to go find someone, and even still she hadn't returned. In the meantime the rest of the students, and Iron Fist, sat in fairly large room with several couches, a coffee table, a cabinet that had both liquor and glasses as well as an ice box, and finally a hot plate that could be used to make tea. As it were, FanFan, Mizore and Iron Fist sat on one couch, Moka and Yukari sat on another with Ben hanging by a web next to Moka, and Kurumu and Tsukune sat in a love seat. Tsukune wasn't really sitting though, he was pacing back and forth with a worried expression as he bit his finger nails.

Ben had a tablet in hands and he had retracted just the hands of his suit so that he could hold the stylus more comfortably as he decided to take the time to work on commissions. Moka just slumped over in her seat with a bored expression as she lazily held onto the teacup, sloshing the last sip of the liquid back and forth before finishing it. "There is nothing better than traditionally made Chinese Green Tea." Iron Fist said trying to break the silence as he poured himself another cup, "They say green tea is supposed to reinvigorate the soul. Help you become more connected with your chi. Now, I don't know if the spiritual stuff is true, but I do know that while training my masters had me drink the tea to help burn my fat faster." As we went to take another drink of his nice, warm, tea, Mizore took out her lolipop and blew over the tea and cooled it off to the point that it felt as if it had been in the refrigerator over night. Iron Fist drank it anyway and smiled, "It also tastes good cold."

"I don't like it." Tsukune said worriedly, "She's slow. Regardless of how big the house is, it's still Rinrin's home. Something must've happened otherwise it wouldn't take her this long, right?"

"I don't know man," Ben started has he finished drawing an ass being groped in his commission, "maybe she just got tired of hopping around. She could've stopped for a breather."

"She's dead, she doesn't need to breathe." Moka pointed out.

FanFan, who seemed to be having similar thoughts as Tsukune, stood up and began to walk out of the room with a huff, "I'll go check things out!" he said with a frustrated tone.

"Wait, FanFan!" Tsukune gripped the teen's shoulder, "Now doesn't seem to be the time to be going off on your own. I should go--"

"No Tsukune." FanFan said as he pushed Tsukune's hand off his shoulder. "You are my guests. It would be wrong to expose you to danger if it should arise. As long as you are in this house, you are under my care. So please stay here until I return." With that, FanFan left the room and began searching for his sister.

Ben let out a long exasperated sigh as he saved his work and out his tablet back into his backpack after he dropped down to the ground. "God dammit, there is a time and place to play hero and right now really isn't it." he grumbled in English. "I'll follow him." he groaned as he had the suit form on his hands again, "And guys," he looked to Mizore who now froze the tea in Iron Fist's cup simply by touching the rim. She gave a satisfied smirk as the hero let out and upset sigh, "please get along with the human. Fuck sakes, just don't act like children."

FanFan walked down one of the long hallways of his home hoping he'd run into Rinrin at some turn. "Big sis!" he called out, "Rinrin, are you there?" As FanFan walked he took note of how strangely quiet it was. I feel like I should have run into her by now. He stopped as he felt a light chill run up his spine, he didn't need a special sixth sense like Ben to know something was wrong. As I thought. Something strange is going on here. This is my home...but this tense atmosphere is...FanFan clutched his fists and took a deep breath, "Don't tell me...'they're' in this house too?" FanFan's ears perked up when he thought he heard strange voices coming from one of the rooms. FanFan turned his head and slowly began moving back to one of the doors he already passed so that he didn't alert the people on the other side of the door. Someone's here. I can hear voices coming from the bathroom.

FanFan gulped as he slowly got to his stomach and looked through the small crack between the door and the ground. They are speaking Chinese. he thought, Perhaps somebody from the house? Now completely on the ground, FanFan could see there was two men on the other side of the door, shuffling their feet in their loafers as they conversed with each other. "...as a start, that's one of them down." one of the men said in Chinese. "At any rate it looks like we've got more work." he sighed.

"No kidding." the other man replied with a groan as he lifted up his foot to scratch the back of his other leg, "I never thought he'd bring so many friends back."

"It can't be helped. Let's just hurry and finish our mission."

"Right. We'll take them down. One by one."

FanFan's eyes widened in horror. Already one down? No...then that means they already got big sis. FanFan slowly got up and had to cover his mouth so he didn't let out a scream when he was suddenly met face to face with Ben who had been quietly sticking to the door with his ear against it so he could hear. WHEN DID HE GET HERE?!? I couldn't hear him, damn near gave me a heart attack!! FanFan backed up and bumped into something, "HYAAAAAAAAA!!" he cried out when he saw the face of Tsukune, who also began to scream because of FanFan. Once he regained his composure he realized there was multiple people, "H-Huh? Tsukune, Kurumu, The Iron Fist? What are all of you doing here!?"

"Yeah, why are you--" Ben began to say something but he felt the door he was on began to push open. Thinking quickly, Ben jumped off and slammed it shut and webbed the door shut.

"Run!" FanFan yelled out as he grabbed Tsukune's hand and led him back down the hall with Iron Fist, Kurumu and Ben following close behind.

Eventually, the door burst open with the two men now standing in the hallway, just narrowly missing FanFan and the others. They were shady looking men black suits, black ties, black shades. A regular group of G-men. "Did you hear that?" one of them asked.

"Yes. We best hurry." the other nodded.

Back with FanFan and the teens (plus Iron Fist), they ran back to the guest room. FanFan a worried expression on his face as he sprinted down the hallway, Please be okay. he thought, These one's are accounted for but please be fine! When he and the others got to the Guest room his heart practically sank at the horrid sight. The room, completely thrashed. Ransacked. Not a trace of their friends. The vases were shattered on the ground, the coffee table broken in half, the couches flipped, and a large hole in the wall likely from Moka. "What the fuck happened here?" Ben asked as he saw the damage, "Hold on, where is everyone? Were they with you guys?" he asked, a worried tone now present.

"No." Kurumu shook her head, "When you hadn't come back we went to look for you. Moka, Mizore and Yukari said they'd stay here."

Tsukune looked at the damage and clenched his fists, "There was a massive struggle here." he picked up a piece of the shattered vase and tossed it back to the ground, "How could this happen? Ben, I thought you said you didn't sense anything?"

"I didn't!" Ben defended, "I swear, I can't sense any danger at all. But..." he looked at the carnage and shook his head, "I don't know. Maybe they have something up that is interfering with my Spider Sense."

"Is that even possible?" Kurumu asked, now she seemed worried.

Ben nodded, "Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time. One of the times when my brother fought Mysterio he had made some weird gas that messed with his senses. Maybe something similar happened and I just didn't know."

Iron Fist looked over the damage and nodded, "Wait, your name is Ben?" he asked, "I've never heard your real name, this is so strange." Ben tried to ignore the fact that Tsukune had just said his real name while in costume, but it seems Iron Fist noticed anyway. "Regardless, we don't know what happened here. Hopefully your friends got away."

FanFan gulped as he began to break out of his stupor, "Yes...but we must also think of the negatives. Maybe they have been caught...by 'them'."

"'Them'?" Ben asked, "Who the hell is 'them'? Is it related to those guys you were listening in on?" Ben had grabbed FanFan and was now holding him up by his collar, "Dammit FanFan, you said everything would be fine! That'd we'd be safe. Now half of us are missing. Who the fuck is 'them'? What's going on here!?"

FanFan looked down with a saddened expression, he knew that what he knew should be shared with the group. especially since their friends were placed in danger. FanFan grabbed Ben's wrists and nodded, "I know, I know." he started, "I believe they are the Miu Family. A Chinese mafia group and long term rival to my family. I'm guessing that they may have sent assassins here and we just have bad luck." Ben set FanFan down as he explained everything that was going on, "Recently, the Miu Family has began corroborating with a 'certain organization' from Japan' and have been rapidly growing in power. We're almost at a state of an all-out war. They probably came here looking for me, the Won Family successor."

Tsukune gasped in surprise, "'Japanese organization'? Please tell me you don't mean--"

FanFan nodded before Tsukune could even finish, "Yes. The organization Fairy Tale." there was a collective groan from the three other teens. FanFan nodded, "As you know they are a large terrorist organization hell bent on world domination and the destruction of humanity." the teens gulped and Iron Fist was simply trying to follow along, the super natural wasn't exactly his territory so he didn't know much about it. "That's why I enrolled in Yokai Academy." FanFan continued, "I had to learn as much as I could about Fairy Tale. And that's when I saw it! Someone defeated a subdivision of Fairy Tale," he clutched Tsukune's hands between his own and stared intently into the human's eyes, "and that person was you, Tsukune."

"Fairy Tale?" Iron Fist asked in English while he leaned towards Ben to whisper.

"Ask me another time." Ben replied.

Kurumu blinked a few times before realization hit her, "So...So that's why you kept inviting Tsukune to the mafia!?" she asked, "But why? The Won Family already has the powerful Tohou Fuhai, so why--"

FanFan groaned and rubbed the back of head, "Well, even if he's extremely powerful, Tohou Fuhai is also my great-great-grandfather." he explained, "So he's like, you know, really old. Personally I've never seen the man fight." Great-Great-Grandfather? Everyone thought in unison.

Kurumu shook her head, "Even so!" she yelled out, "You must be joking, even if the opponent is Fairy Tale, why would you drag Tsukune into an argument between mafias?" Kurumu puffed her cheeks out in frustration when FanFan didn't respond she locked her arm with Tsukune's, "If you guys want to kill each other, then just do it somewhere else until you've had enough! C'mon, Tsukune. Let's go." Kurumu reached for a door handle and Tsukune looked back and saw the upset look FanFan had on his face. FanFan... Tsukune thought with a frown.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!" Ben shouted out, pointing to what Kurumu grabbed onto. Kurumu cocked an eyebrow in confusion and looked down at what she was holding onto. At the same time, everyone noticed the ugliest, most grotesque, creature they had seen. It looked like a head, but it was detached from the body and upside down. Protruding from the head was several thin, spider crab-esque legs with two long crab-like eyes coming off the chin. The creepiest part, was what Kurumu was holding onto: a long, second mouth coming out of the human mouth like it was a xenomorph.

With the realization finally hitting Kurumu she let out an almost blood curdling scream. She dropped the head-crab and rapidly shook her hand to get the weird slime off her hand. The head-crab quickly scurried away leaving the group, especially Iron Fist, with an extremely surprised look. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" Kurumu yelled, "What was that just now? It's so gross!"

"Oh no!" FanFan shouted, "That was a Yuusei Hitou!" Ben and Iron Fist looked at each other and both shrugged neither clearly knowing what that was. FanFan smacked his face in frustration, "It's a monster that can remove its head to scout out locations! We have to get out of here, otherwise they'll know where we are!" FanFan, Tsukune and Kurumu all ran out the door and turned right in the hallway, the opposite direction of where the Yuusei Hitou was going. Ben and Iron Fist, again, looked at each other. Both nodded in a silent understanding to be on guard, and before they left Ben grabbed his suitcase and attached it to his back. The two then quickly ran after the other three.

"...so disgusting!" the two Americans heard Kurumu whining as she continually waved her hand back and forth, still trying to get the slime of the creature off her hand, "Gross, gross, gross, gross! My hand is all slimy and disgusting! It's like I was gripping a slug!" she continued to whine.

"Get ahold of yourself, Kurumu!" Tsukune yelled out as they continued to run, "We can't let them get to our heads! Ben, Spider Sense picking anything up?"

"Nothing!" Ben replied, mid stride.

FanFan, as he was huffing in his run, recognized the hallway they were in, "Up ahead is the kitchen! We can hide there for the time being."

Upon hearing the news Kurumu was ecstatic, "I don't care, just give me water!" Kurumu, now in a dead on sprint, made her way to the kitchen door, her salvation from the slimy grossness, "Hurry, I just need to wash this stuff off--" as Kurumu opened the door for the kitchen, and she was immediately splashed all over her body with a thick, red, almost syrupy liquid. The men stopped and stared in surprise at Kurumu who now looked very reminiscent of Carrie on prom night. "Hah..." was all Kurumu could say as she looked at herself, dumbfounded by what had just transpired.

A thumping was heard and the door to the kitchen burst open as the group now stared up to a large man carrying a mallet and large butcher's knife dripping the same liquid that was on Kurumu. Well...maybe he was cutting watermelon? Ben thought with a gulp. The man towered over the group, easily nine or ten feet tall. He was also very large and had a burlap sack covering his face and the red liquid splattered across his torso. The teens screamed out as the large man lifted the mallet above his head. Thinking quickly, Iron Fist moved in front of the teens and scorpion striked the man in the gut, a force of aura leaving his palm and blasting the man through the door to the kitchen and through the kitchen wall itself. "Let's move!" Iron Fist yelled out.

The group began running again, and Kurumu came to a realization, "Hold on! IS THIS BLOOD?" she cried out, "Am I covered in blood!? Gross, gross, gross, gross!" she cried as she shook her hands trying to get as much of the liquid off as possible.

FanFan tried leading the group to a hiding place where they could be safe. Rounding a corner to go to another room he trusted, the group practically ran into the men in black, "There they are!" one of the men called out. FanFan clenched his teeth and quickly turned tail and had the group go down the opposite side of the hallway. Ben, trying to slow down the men in black, made a large web net in the hallway.

"Down below!" another man in black yelled out from the second floor catwalk. He jumped down to confront the teens but was met with a upper cut to his junk by Iron Fist. The man let out a scream, several octaves lower than his usual tone and Iron Fist cringed at the sight as he and the teens escaped.

"Hey, so this is just a theory," Ben started as he began swinging through the mansion, webbing doors he saw were starting to open, "but are you SURE that the mansion wasn't just...I don't know...TAKEN OVER!"

FanFan gulped, and in one final place to hide, he hopped into a study that he would use when he was younger. The rest of the group piled into the room and Ben webbed the door shut from their side. The teens were huffing and puffing as they tried to catch their breath, Iron Fist and Ben stood up breathing a little harder, but nothing that was uncomfortable. FanFan looked around the room and even though they seemed safe, he couldn't be too sure. FanFan began moving a bookcase to reveal a secret doorway, "There is a weapons cabinet hidden behind this bookcase. They shouldn't be able to find us if we hide in here." the group looked at each other, but they agreed and FanFan moved the bookcase back into place.

Kurumu sat down, holding her knees to her chest, tears forming on her eyes, and the blood now off her a little bit from all the running. "I never imagined this would happen after we came to Hong Kong!" she whined.

Tsukune gulped as he took a seat next to the succubus, "I...I hope everyone is okay. Let's just find them and get out of here."

Ben looked at the three teens as they sat on the ground, huddled together. He tried to keep to his thoughts as he jumped and crouched on the counter. His thumb and index finger gripping his chin, he pondered their predicament. I just don't understand it. he thought, Ever since we got here I've had a gut feeling that something was wrong. But every time we've run into actual danger my Spider Sense hasn't gone off at all. Ben felt like his chest was congested and he retracted the bottom half of his mask and began coughing into his hand. He hocked out what he thought was mucus, but looking at his hand he saw that a thick, almost black, fluid that shot onto his hand. What the hell? Ben groaned internally, It must be getting worse.

"What do you think, Spider-Man?" Iron Fist asked in English, "This situation. It seems to have gotten out of hand." Ben wanted to say something, but was cut off by the sound of Kurumu screaming.

"There's a huge mouth on the wall!" Kurumu yelled out as, exactly as she described it, a huge mouth with dozens of arms reaching out began to drag Kurumu inside it.

"KURUMU!" Tsukune yelled as he grabbed her hand and tried to pull her out. Ben shot a webline to Kurumu's chest to try and prevent her from going further. Soon, more arms shot out and tried to grab FanFan, but Iron Fist was there to protect him.

When Iron Fist prevented the creature from grabbing FanFan, it cried out in pain. "Tch...I guess five is fine." in groaned. Tsukune eventually lost his grip on Kurumu and Ben's webline snapped, the creature proving to be more powerful than they anticipated. Then, in an instant, the creature disappeared as if it was never there.

"KURUMU, NO!" Tsukune yelled as he slammed his fists against the wall, cracking it in the process, "You can't take them! Bring them back! BRING THEM BACK!" Eventually, Tsukune stopped slamming the wall and just leaned against it, trying not to sob. "He mentioned 'five'." Tsukune said lowly, "It's what that thing just said. If Kurumu was number five...then that means it took the others too." he clenched his hands into fists, "Does that mean they were all eaten? Just like that?!"

FanFan held his hands up with a saddened face, trying to calm Tsukune down, "It'll be fine! That monster was only a transportation type." he explained, "Kurumu wasn't eaten, she was just transfered somewhere else. That means it's probably the same for the others too!"

Upon hearing this, Tsukune quickly reached out and grabbed FanFan's wrists. "IS IT TRUE!?" Tsukune said excitedly, "Then bring them back!" Tsukune ordered, still on the verge of tears, "Please...I've had enough! If this place was so dangerous then we shouldn't have come. We never should have come here in the first place!"

Ben nodded, "Yeah, not to beat a dead horse, but I figured we'd be getting screwed here. I don't especially like that you dragged us in the middle of some petty gang war that none of us are even associated with." Ben clenched his fists trying to hold back his anger towards the situation, "Like I said, we never should have trusted you guys. We should have turned back when our plane was attacked."

FanFan looked to the both of them with a saddened, almost hurt, expression. Tsukune gasped slightly and he began to wipe his tears. "I'm sorry, we came here to fix Moka's seal. We came here for our own reasons, so I'm sorry for saying something so mean."

"I'm not." Ben replied. Tsukune gave him a dirty look, "What? You're siding with him on this?" Ben turned to FanFan poked at his chest, "Listen here, femboy, I can handle being attacked by Fairy Tale or getting my shit wrecked by some big mook on a daily basis. I can handle danger, but them? Regardless of everything we've been through, they still don't have the experience I have. So I can deal with danger, but you and your sister putting THEM in danger? Without even telling us what we were getting into? Go fuck yourself, dude." Tsukune grabbed Ben's hand and the meta shook it off, "No, I have shit to say. You keep trying to get us to join your mafia family, and we told you that we can take care of ourselves fine." Ben shook his head, "I knew I should have just went to Doc. Strange. I don't know why I trusted you. You've been nothing but a nuisance since I've met you, I have no idea why I thought it'd be different this time."

Ben turned away from FanFan and put down his suitcase. FanFan gulped and he started reaching for an AK-74u. Being a Chinese Mafia family, Ben was less than surprised to see a bunch of old Soviet Union stuff the family likely got off the black market. "My mother...she was born in the Miu family." FanFan started, "In other words, my parents were able to overcome the feud between the Won and Miu families and get married, sort of like a Romeo and Juliet...except it doesn't end with grief." he smiled, "And then...the child they had was like a a symbol of peace. My mission was to end the dispute between the monsters and bring peace...at least...that's what I was led to believe since I was small." FanFan wiped away a tear as he racked a different gun, "Alas, it was but a stupid dream. I'm sorry...Ben...Tsukune. I'm sorry for dragging the both of you into this." he cried. Ah fuck me. Ben groaned internally, No I feel like an asshole.

FanFan cleared his throat and held the gun up so he could check the sights. It was at this point that Ben realized FanFan was quite proficient on how to use a gun. "I'll go out there and grab their attention. The one they're after should be me. So the three of you use that opportunity to run away." he gulped, "As for the others, I'll be sure they are returned safely."

Ben retracted his mask allowing Iron Fist to actually see his face for the first time. I should be surprised he's so young, but for some reason I'm not. Ben and Tsukune looked at each other, both with sad expressions, "I'm sorry," Iron Fist started, "But I'm afraid that I cannot leave. I must have your family quit its funding of The Hand. And if that means tearing through every single crime family in Hong Kong, then so be it." he then put his fist against the palm of his hand and bowed, "A ally of Spider-Man's, is an ally of mine."

"Yeah, it wouldn't be right to just leave you here alone." Ben mentioned with a rub of his head, "I mean, not only are our friends captured, but they've got your sister too." he sighed, "Also you guys were kinda trying to help us with our Moka situation."

Tsukune then let out a light laugh, "It really is stupid. You wanted me to join the mafia so your dream could come true? Even though I'm not nearly as strong as you might think." FanFan cocked an eyebrow in confusion, "I mean, after all, I am human."

FanFan blinked in confusion, "Huh?"

Tsukune smiled and pat FanFan on his shoulder, "I'll explain later. Everybody knows at this point." he chuckled. Tsukune gained a serious expression and reached around FanFan and grabbing a a Chinese Type-77 pistol and cocked it back. "Because I'm human, I also have a dream, I want to create a world where monsters and humans can live in peace. If we are comparing the stupidness of our dreams, then mine isn't much better."

Ben let out a long sigh, "I don't like the fact that you were so eager to go for a gun." he chuckled, "But I like the spirit, if we are to get our friends back then we have to go in no holds barred." Ben retracted his suit completely to show his clothes and then he began taken those off. Under his clothes he revealed the combat suit that he made to attach his Spider Armor to. Tsukune widened his eyes as Ben put on the now completed Spider Armor Mk. III. There was very few differences, but the paint was now completed, showing a beautiful scarlet red on the armor pieces with gray-blue accents. His original gauntlets were removed from the initial design and instead were replaced by the golden Web Shooters that concealed his Iron Spider outfit.

"These monster mobsters won't even know what hit 'em. I can guarantee you that." Ben grinned leading the others to smile in approval.

Waiting in the foyer sat a Chinese man. He looked gruff, he looked rugged, and most importantly, he had an air about him that made you want to listen to his commands. The man had short black hair and a goatee, and scars all over his face, leading down to the rest of his body. He wore a clean black suit with a partially buttoned red button-up shirt underneath. He sat tapping his foot, though a patient man he was beginning to get frustrated. Where are they? he thought, We were able to find the others no problem, so why is it so hard to find the last four? Next to the man his wife, wearing a beautiful red Chinese dress and dual hair buns, gripped his shoulder. She had a beautiful face looking much younger than him. "It'll be fine," she assured, "We'll take care of them sooner or later."

"BOSS!" a man in black shouted out as he rushed to the foot of the stairway, "We've found them, the last four." he huffed, "Well...not really 'found' per se, more like they kinda just showed themselves."

"So where are they now?" the boss asked.

The man gulped, "Yeah, so...about that--"

The group was interrupted by the wall exploding, sending several henchman flying across the foyer. When the dust settled the boss could clearly see the Iron Fist holding his arm out after his punch. Oh shit. I didn't think that's who he was. the boss thought. Gunshots were then heard as FanFan fired a couple shots of the AK at the ceiling causing the remaining mooks to flee in fear. Finally, walking through the dust and past Iron Fist was Ben in the Spider Armor now leading the pack as Tsukune brought up the rear with dual pistols.

The group finally stopped in front of the boss with Tsukune past the others. "Alright you bastards! Give me back our friends or we destroy this whole mansion!"

"And don't think we can't," Ben added, "The Iron Fist here can level Mount Fuji with a single punch if he wanted to."

Tsukune smirked and nodded, "Yeah he--" he stopped mid sentence as he comprehended what Ben just said, "Holy shit, all of Mount Fuji? Seriously?" Tsukune shook his head to try and snap out of it, "Yeah! It'll feel like an earthquake!"

The boss adjusted himself in his seat and smiled, "Yes, yes. Good. I see you've surrounded yourself with powerful friends...my son."

Tsukune, Ben and Iron Fist all looked at each other with confused expressions. "Um..." FanFan started as he gulped slightly, "I was trying to mention it when we walked in here, but I realized that that is my father." the three others in the group all looked at FanFan with looks of utter disbelief, "Annnnd the woman next to him is my mother." he laughed nervously, "Which means--" before FanFan could continue, the men in black set off some confetti poppers and began blowing on trumpets as a large party ball opened up with a large sign that said 'Welcome to the Wong Family' in Chinese. "This is a welcoming party."

"Come, come." FanFan's father said excitedly, "To the back!"

When FanFan's parents led them to the back the group were met by the sight of the girls playing beside the pool. Kurumu, Yukari and Mizore were all playing with a beach ball, while Moka sat in a lawn chair reading a magazine; even Rinrin was there. "TSUKUNE!" the girls yelled out with happy expressions. Kurumu and Yukari were quick to try and tackle the human. Iron Fist and Ben could only slump their shoulders in disbelief.

"You have to be fucking kidding me." Ben said as he tried to rub his temples through his helmet. "I've never been more frustrated in my life."

"I know what you mean." Iron Fist groaned, "This whole ordeal feels like a test of patience."

"Do not worry." the two turned to the new voice to see FanFan's mother approaching them, "I already know why you are hear, Mr. Rand." Iron Fist placed his fist in his palm and bowed, "Please, no formalities. As for your issue. Well, I appreciate you not harming our son. And you did well to help suppress other families in the area. For that you have our thanks. That and also our dealings with The Hand have fell through as of late. I'll make a mention to my husband to cut their funding right away."

Iron Fist, again, bowed, "Thank you, but how--"

"Please," FanFan's mom laughed, "We have fantastic intelligence." Ben analyzed the woman intently, Wait...she looks familiar. "Ah, it's good to see you again, Mr. Reilly." she greeted.

Ben's lenses widened in surprise, "Wait a minute, I knew I recognized you!" he shouted, "You're that assassin chick that tried to kill me when I was teaming with the Daredevil back in January!" he pointed accusingly and she tried, and failed, to suppress her laughter.

"Tenten Won." she smiled and held out her hand. Ben looked at the hand and reluctantly shook it. "Don't worry, I was never going to kill you. I just needed information on you. I must say though, I never anticipated on meeting you again."

Ben let out a loud sigh and looked over to Moka who briefly looked up from her magazine and the two locked eyes. Ben's heart nearly stopped when he saw the slight blush on her face as she quickly went back to reading, Fuuuuuuuck. She really is cute. Ben thought. Ben took off his helmet and rolled it like a bowling ball to Moka's chair. She rolled her eyes and smirked as she picked up the helmet, looking at the detail. As Ben walked to her, he hooked a chair with his foot and kicked it up in the air. The chair flipped a few times before finally coming down and landing just as Ben went to sit down. "Hahaha." Moka held her mouth to hold her laughter, "Such a fucking show off." she examined the helmet and put it on her head, "Holy hell!" she then just as quickly removed the helmet, blinking her eyes, "Why is your visor brightness at full? Why do you flashbang yourself like that?"

Ben let out a chuckle, "I just have really good vision." Ben shook his head and gave off a goofy smile, "So I figured out why my Spider Sense didn't work." Moka cocked an eyebrow with intrigue, "We were never in any real danger!" he laughed.

Moka, too, let out a chuckle, "Yeah. I suppose that kinda negates the purpose of a danger sense if there is no danger." Moka closed the magazine and gave Ben a cheeky smile, "So, did you worry?"

Ben scoffed, "Of course I did." he smiled, "But...your safe now, so the sooner we get that rosary fixed the sooner we can get the hell out of here."

Moka gripped her rosary and frowned, "Yeah. Guess we have to savor the time we have left." Moka wasn't sure why she did it, but she almost instinctually moved her head forward for a kiss. Her head began to buzz, but it wasn't like before when she could clearly see the danger happening before it actually happened. No. This time it was like...an attraction, a need to be part of a whole. Ben, following Moka's lead, moved his head forward and the two locked lips.

"Ara Ara~. Get a room you two." Rinrin said with a smug grin. This caused the two to quickly break apart.

Ben gulped from his nervousness and he got up to grab something to drink. "Hey, Ben." Moka called, "Love your suit."

Ben blushed slightly and rubbed the back of his head, "Oh...uh...I love you too--NO! I didn't mean--W-Well, I do love you, but I meant that...um..." Moka laughed and waved him off as Ben went to get something to drink. Man, this Touhou guy better be worth it.

To be continued...

A/N: Bro, fuck me running. Jesus Christ. You have no idea how long I've wanted to get this out. I deadass started working on this back in the second week of February, but due to school (especially midterms and essays) it's been almost impossible. Now that I was finally able to get some sort of break from essay writing and tests I wrote this in like two days.

...

Okay...I'm being a little disingenuous. School wasn't the ONLY thing holding from writing. If I can be allowed to flex a little bit, I've been playing a lot of both the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5. I played and beat The Medium, I've also been playing a shit ton of Mortal Kombat 11. Also Spider-Man Miles Morales. So yeah, it's partially my fault too.

Unfortunately, I have to let you guys know that I am going to leave the story here for now, because I've been neglecting my other story like my biological father neglected me when growing up. So I'm going to go work on a couple chapters for that. I think that's fair, considering I've done like four for this one now as well as two horny chapters.

But hey, shoot me a PM or whatever, message me on Xbox Live, steam, Twitter, whatever. Remember to favorite/follow and leave some reviews. See you guys next time.
