Thank you for leaving your reviews!
Demonknight1994: Thank you for appreciating my chapters. Peter is currently past Cell Saga, he has had a lot of experience in the comics, the only problem I am trying to fix in this story is the consistency of his powers and skills and bring discipline in his experience, much like Batman in a way. And as for whether or not Peter has a transformation... You'd just have to wait and see.
Maximum Rhapsody: Peter will fight strong opponents and I want to keep the Z warriors disconnected from Marvel for the time being, but maybe I might change my mind, so it's an open option. Peter's relationships are very complicated so I'm going to try to untangle them. That's all you're getting :)
BlazerRaylock: Thanks! Hey, I can't wait either!
BobIsBadAtEnglish: Thank you! And yes, Peter slowly but surely is changing, for the better or worse that's for you to find out!
gontheone: Thank you! I can't answer any of your questions, without spoiling the whole story :)
Guest: Thank you! I guess we will find out :D
Guest: I'm glad you like it! :)

Chapter 7
New York City was destroyed, the sky looked as if it was full of blood with how red it looked. The city itself was inhabited by flying demons and other creatures roaming around the city, people running and screaming, and people living in fear. In the middle of New York Times Square, there's a massive throne made out of human skulls, a reddish figure sitting on it, who was revealed to be Mephistopheles or by what he's mostly known as Mephisto the demon who rules a pocket dimension realm, known as Hell.
"Finally Earth is mine, all these human souls belong to me!" the devil loudly cackled as he finally achieved his lifelong quest of enslaving human souls. "Odinson, Stark, and that annoying arachnid Spider-Man have all failed to stop me! IN FACT, NOTHING AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME!"
"I wouldn't be so sure about that!" a feminine voice confidently said from afar.
Mephisto looked in the direction of where the voice came from and with an evil smirk on his face said, "Aww.. Look who it is! Daddy's little girl! Have you come to witness my glory before I kill you?"
The figure was web-slinging, approaching Mephisto with a determined look on her eyes as her mask was ripped apart at the top, including most of her suit yet there was a familiar sense of confidence about this girl, like everything would be okay with her around. She stopped in front of Mephisto and said, "I'm here to defeat you… actually, we're here to defeat you!"
Another approaching figure said, "She's right! And PS Mayday! What the hell? You couldn't have waited for us? You just needed to have an epic entrance by yourself, didn't you?"
The girl identified as Mayday looked back with a smile on her face and replied, "Sorry about that big brother Gerry!"
Gerry only sighed, shaking his head, and said, "You're worse than Dad and you're definitely not sorry. The others are coming, let's do this!"
Mayday resumed her staredown of Mephisto, she was powering up her ki and said, "Yes, Let's do this!" before shooting a web toward him, getting ready to fight.
Mephisto seeing the children of one of his greatest enemies before him and sensing others approaching him could only feel rage at the thought of their defiance of his rule.
"You think you can stop me!? Well, think again! I'll make you all my personal slaves to torture Parker for all eternity!" Mephisto was getting ready for the fight for his rule.
In Mephisto's realm
Mephisto was sitting on his throne in his realm and just woke up from his dream, the same dream that kept torturing him for a long time. The same vision that caused him to separate Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson from making the one who will truly defeat Mephisto, Mayday Parker, their daughter, his greatest nightmare.
"Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh DAMN YOU PETER PARKER! EVEN WHEN YOU ARE GONE FROM THIS UNIVERSE, I STILL SEE THAT WRETCHED DREAM! WHY!?". Mephisto screaming at the top of his lungs from frustration. The demons and slaves looked in fear of their master, hoping to not be on the receiving end of his current rage.
Mephisto after a while, calmed down and a calculative look came across his face and said, "Parker disappearing from this universe was definitely no mere coincidence that much is clear, I need to investigate this. Someone very powerful is playing chess with me and I'm not going to play along with this! For whoever is responsible for this, my latest scheme will top whatever their plans are! HAHAHAHAH.." Mephisto with a maniacal laugh is motivated to make plans to make Peter Parker's life a living 'hell' so to speak.
Mephisto pulls up a crystal ball that showed Mary Jane Watson standing close to Tony Stark who was working on some sort of dimensional machine, muttering about stupid boy scouts and saving annoying nobodies.
Back in Stark Industries
"So Tony, Damage Control has recently dropped their seized tech from Hammer Industries and AIM in one of our warehouses in Washington DC." Mary Jane said while looking at her tablet.
Tony whilst working with a screwdriver barely acknowledged her.
Mary Jane looked up from her tablet, as normally her boss is very talkative and would jokingly flirt with her from time to time but she was not sure whether he was angry or frustrated or sad.
"Is everything okay Tony?" Mary Jane asked worriedly.
Tony finally looked in her direction and smiled apologetically, "Yes, I'm sorry about that my sweet Red, I'm just a bit annoyed that this project I'm working on is taking so long."
Mary Jane nodded and smiled softly and asked curiously, "So what is it you're working on?"
"Just a dimensional hopping device, this would have been much faster if that idiot Richards came to give me a few pointers since it's his thing, he already made one but then destroyed it for some reason" Tony replied tiredly.
Mary Jane looked at the machine and only smiled with a look of reminisce, Tony looked at her and asked, "What?" Mary Jane shook her head with a small smile still gracing her face and answered, "Sorry, I just remembered an old boyfriend who would often ramble about scientific stuff and I would listen to him talking about things that only made sense to him."
Tony scratching his head said, "Sounds like a decent guy, maybe a guy I would hire but why didn't it work out with you two? If you don't mind me asking."
Mary Jane dropped her smile and sadly replied, "His 'job' always came in the way of our relationship, I would always wonder if he'd be back and I also had my own ambition as a supermodel actress so at one point it got so unbearable and it wasn't even his fault but the life he chose so we called it quits." Mary Jane said slightly angry, thinking about when she found out about the whole mind switcheroo between Peter and Otto Octavius.
"Dang, well didn't mean to drag you all the way bad memory lane but anyway as I was saying, the machine is ready, now all we have to do is locate what universe Spider-Man fell into," Tony said, resuming his work.
"Spider-Man? Wait, you know what happened to him?" Mary Jane questioned, shock written across her face, as she had seen the news of Spider-Man's disappearance, which made her worried sick for Peter. Despite her complicated relationship with him, deep down there always will be a part of her that will care for him.
Tony raised an eyebrow at his assistant's curiosity about the arachnid vigilante and still replied, "Yes, word through the grapevine is that Spidey somehow fell into another universe and is stuck there and Cap has forced me to make this machine in order to find him."
"I see so how's the progress going?" MJ asked.
Tony said, without looking at her, "Well, the machine is ready but locating the said person would be the most challenging task, the Multiverse is endless and infinite, Spider-Man could be anywhere and nowhere."
"Nowhere?" MJ asked.
"Yes, there is a possibility that he could be dead," Tony said.
"What?" MJ asked, successfully hiding her anxiety.
"Yeah, but that possibility got shut down instantly when I heard this Miss Julia Carpenter that a few days ago she briefly felt Spidey's presence on the Web." MJ calmed down yet looked confused, Tony sensing that quickly added, "Seriously, don't ask, it's some magic mambo jumbo that spiders apparently have."
"Still, at least we know he's alive." MJ stated.
"Yeah, if we end up finding Spider-Man, he better buy me a bottle of Scotch," Tony said.
"Tony, you're not drinking." MJ blankly told him.
"Oh come on! It's the least he can do since I'm helping him get home!" Tony looked at MJ with some feigned pain on his face.
"Nope"
"Spoilsport" Tony dropped his shoulders in defeat and resumed working.
MJ left Tony to his devices and Tony whilst working realised something.
"Wait a minute! Does that mean Mrs. Carpenter can sense Spider-Man's energy signature? I can use that woman Julia to locate Spider-Man when I start the machine! Shit, Friday! Call Jessica Drew now!" Tony ordered his AI.
DBS Universe
Peter woke up in one of Capsule Corp.'s bedrooms for staff and officers where some of the staff live or where some in case they are too tired to go home, they stay there. Peter saw some freshly folded clothes on the bedrest with a note saying 'Get dressed and come downstairs in the lab', to which Peter did as it was asked of him.
Peter came down to the lab and saw Bulma working on some papers before she noticed him, as she got up and began to walk towards Peter before he suddenly hugs her out of the blue, surprising her slightly.
"Do you know how worried I was when I saw you there in the volcano?" Peter sincerely asked.
Bulma, smiling softly hugged him back tightly and said, "I know, but I couldn't have stood doing nothing, he was about to kill you, I had to do something."
"I'm not that important, you have a family!" Peter exclaimed.
"And you don't!? How can you say that?" Bulma hotly questioned.
Peter could only stay quiet before Bulma broke the silence, touched Peter's cheek, and said, "Peter, you're my friend, you're the only person smart enough to keep up with my ramblings and when I heard you that were about to give up, I just didn't think, my body moved on its own."
Peter looked down, before looking up at her and asking, "How did you know that I was about to be Swiss cheese?"
Bulma brightened up and proudly said, "All because of my device that fused into your suit!"
Peter facepalmed and said, "Of course, I forgot about that."
"Speaking of your suit, I fixed it, there you go," Bulma stated, handing Peter his nanotech bracelet.
Peter wondered something, "Anyway, what happened to Broly?"
"Gogeta killed him"
"What?"
"Relax, Peter he-"
"Bulma! You can't tell me to relax! We're talking about life here! He's not a supervillain, he's just a victim of a manipulative bast-"
Bulma hit Peter on the head before he could continue his hysterical rant, successfully shutting him up, and said, "Good, are you listening now? Yes, he's dead but he's currently on King Kai's planet and we're planning to wish him back with Shenron next year."
Peter, shocked by this, asked, "What?"
"Yes, according to Goku, a day later King Kai contacted him and said that Broly was sent to his planet because he was never evil and couldn't just send him to hell so Goku is training with him on King Kai's planet and from what I gathered, Goku is very eager to wish him back alive for some more training. Broly apparently had made some friends before he came to Earth, Chelai and I forgot the other guy's name. They're staying here until Broly gets back to life." Bulma finished, recalling all the facts and events in her head.
"I see" Peter registering everything said by Bulma, a bit glad but then he remembered something which put him in inner turmoil. Seeing his facial shift, Bulma asked him, "What are you thinking?"
Peter took his time answering her, and with a sad sigh he began, "It's just that, when I thought Broly killed you, I lost myself, I really wanted to kill him. I was becoming something I'm not" Bulma stayed quiet as he continued, "I had a quick flashback of when Norman, the Green Goblin killed my girlfriend if something did happen to you in the same fashion as her, I would've never forgiven myself." Bulma could only think, 'Oh Peter..'
"Listen, Peter, if I did die that time, I wouldn't have wanted you to beat yourself up because, at the end of the day, you can't save everyone, but you only could do your very best." Bulma looked at Peter with a smile.
"What about the part where I wanted to kill Broly? Piccolo keeps telling me to annihilate my threats but I really struggle to find the balance. I'm just not a cold killer like the Punisher that kills everything that's bad. And as you have heard, Broly was never a bad guy. But I fear that I'm no longer the hero I thought I was" Peter concluded.
Bulma did something that took Peter by surprise, she activated his suit, making him change to Spider-Man and then took off his mask from his face and handed it to him, asking him, "You see this mask? What do you see?"
"Past failures"
"And what about the lives you have saved?"
"..."
"What about the courage or the willpower to fight for others? What about the part where you were willing to fight for me?"
Peter was struggling to say anything, Bulma beat him to the punch and said, " What I could only see is a hero, worthy of happiness and greatness."
Peter smiled at his friend, but then noticed something and said, "You can come out now Piccolo."
Piccolo came to their view as he walked into the lab, "Took you long enough to sense me."
"Oh I'm sorry, next time I'm having an existential crisis, I'll make sure to sense people around me" Peter added sarcastically.
Piccolo smiled, whether he wanted to admit it or not, he slowly has gotten used to Peter's jokes and sarcastic statements. With a stern expression adorning his face, he said, "Well, you have improved a lot from this fight, though I told you to stay put which you didn't listen.." "I'm sorry." Piccolo continued, "Though your skill has improved, your KI feels very different, it feels denser and you were nowhere close to this level last time I checked, so I'm asking you what are you?"
Peter, confused by this said, "I don't know what to tell you, I only trained my KI with you and Goku." Bulma, hearing this added, "Actually Peter, there's another I wanted to bring to your attention, when they brought you here, I checked your vitals and all your wounds were healing at a fast rate."
"Well I do have an enhanced healing"
"Yes, but this was even faster"
"What?"
"Yeah."
All three of them stayed quiet, wondering what caused such as a change in Peter's physiology and power. The silence was broken when Pilaf, horrified, came to the lab and screamed, "HEY Bulma! There are some people that are looking for Goku and Vegeta!" They were on their way to see the commotion outside.
Outside Capsule Corp building
"Son Goku! Come out! You said you'd show me how to become Super Sayian 3! Get here to keep your damn promise!" A rough feminine voice, outside Capsule Corp. was heard.
"Big sis, I don't think we should be this hasty, we should wait a bit." A low self-esteemed chimed in.
"Screw that! I had to wait for a long time to convince Vados to get us here! I'm not leaving empty-handed!" The girl replied.
"Kale is right, I'm the one who requested Vados to take us here because I wanted to visit Vegeta-san, you simply just tagged along, Caulifla." A masculine voice interjected.
"Shut up Cabba!" Caulifla exclaimed.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's happening here?" Bulma interrupted their quarrel, as she came with Piccolo and Peter still in his suit, with his mask on, just in case of a fight.
"Bulma-san, I'm Cabba! I hope you remember me from Lord Champa's tournament with Lord Beerus, I asked Vados to get us here, she's coming back to fetch us in 2 days." Cabba said as he smiled.
"Yes, I remember you, Vegeta took a liking to you that time when you guys fought." Bulma smiled at him.
"Yes, I was hoping to catch Vegeta-san," Cabba said, excitedly.
Peter raised his eyebrow, while Piccolo stayed quiet. Apparently, someone liked Vegeta.
"Ohh I see, I'm glad Vegeta is making friends, Pilaf! Would you please take Cabba to Vegeta's training room? I'm pretty sure he already knows you're here" Bulma ordered Pilaf, to which he begrudgingly agreed to do against his wishes. With that, Pilaf and Cabba were gone leaving Caulifla and Kale, standing awkwardly. "So what about you two?"
Kale nervously put her hands together and hid behind Caulifla, who answered Bulma's question, "I came to see Son Goku and fight him! Kale just came along with me."
"Well, Goku is away and I don't know how long he's going to be away," Bulma told them.
"What?" Caulifla exclaimed wide-eyed at the news.
"Big Sis, maybe we can come next time," Kale mumbled from the back.
"What! Noway! I've come too far to give up now! Let's see how he likes it when I destroy this city, he'll have to come from whatever hole he's hiding in." Caulifla shot off to the sky.
"Big sis! No!" Kale screamed.
Bulma sighed, and Piccolo scowled whilst Peter was looking alarmed at the whole debacle.
"We need to stop her," Piccolo said.
"I agree, I am going to stop Big Sis from taking any drastic actions." Kale was about to fly off to find Caulifla until, "No!" Piccolo stopped her, Kale looking confused asked him, "Why not?" Piccolo keeping his scowl answered, "We don't want you going berserk all of a sudden! Peter! Go find her and stop her from doing any damage to the city NOW!" Peter wanted to say something but too bad his mask hides any sort of expression from being seen, so he only flew off after the young Sayian girl.
"You're staying here and I'm keeping an eye on you. We already dealt with a berzerk Sayian recently." Piccolo said to Kale, who nodded but was not happy with this decision.
"Why did you send Peter by himself?" Bulma pointed out.
"Because I'm curious to see how stronger he got after fighting Broly, earlier I found traces of Goku and Vegeta's KI inside Peter, something strange happened to him and I am simply trying to make sense of all of this. I figured the best way to find out would be if he fought someone strong as Caulifla."
"Isn't that a bit dangerous?" Bulma asked concerned for her friend.
"He'll be fine after all, he survived Broly" Piccolo smirked as he looked in the distance.
"Huffffff… if something goes wrong you better head down there and I'll also send out Vegeta!" Bulma stressed out.
Piccolo stayed quiet once again while Kale just sat nearby, hopefully, things don't get too carried away.
West City
"COME OUT SON GOKU, YOU COWARD!" Caulifla shouted while shooting a few ki blasts around the city, making sure to not hit anyone, but buildings and roads after all, she wasn't that crazy.
"Hey, Hey, calm down, I'm sure we can work this out." Spider-Man interrupted Caulifla while she was going on a rampage.
"Shut up bug! Or else I'll fight you too!" Caulifla warned the arachnid hero.
"Dang what is it with people not getting that Spiders are arachnid.." Spider-Man complained.
Caulifla was about to shoot another ki blast until Spidey grabbed her wrist and stopped her, which enraged the young Sayian girl who punched Spidey square in the face.
"I guess you want to fight, let's go!" Caulifla challenged the hero, turning Super Sayian in the process.
Spidey saw Caulifla's change while holding the side of his face briefly, recalled his very recent fight and thought "One thing is for certain and I hope it does NOT come off as racist…
I really hate Super Sayians."
