Chapter 109 ICE SPIDERS
It's been about a month since the Meg incident and since then things have been rather peaceful. It would be 2 more months till finally everyones powers were active once more. And Sean had regularly checked in on Cathrine viciy's little project. The Male side of Elementia were still in their pods waiting till everyones powers were activated.
It would be a huge increase in the Legions numbers of powered members.
Also as of 3 years it was Reznov and Julia's anniversary. To Sean it was no surprise those two had feelings for one another having known them longer then anyone in his life next to Talbot and his father's team and Elias's family. So now Julia was pregnant and expected to deliver soon.
Now however Sean was at an old ski resort he and his high school buddies went to during the old days. It also happened to be close to a place where one of his little projects was at. With him was Sally, Killer Frost AKA Louise Lincoln, Stanley Uris and Bridgette.
"So let me get this straight you basically finance this place?" Louise asked seeing the lodge and wasn't really that impressed.
"I know it may not look like much but it brings back memories." Sean said as they walked into the lodge before Sean saw someone he didn't expect to see. "Coach?" Sean asked seeing his old high school coach.
"Sean what a surprise." Frank stone said hugging his old student.
"What are you doing here? I thought you'd still be teaching at school." Sean said.
"Ah. I retired from coaching a couple years ago. After you and your group graduated there wasn't really that much talent. So I came here to work at the resort and soon enough I became in charge." Frank said before a group of teenage girls at the age of 18 showed up. The first had white skin black hair and grey eyes. The second had dark skin black hair and black eyes. The third tan skin black hair and hazel eyes. The Fourth had Dark skin black hair and black eyes and finally the last girl had white skin purple hair and brown eyes.
"Hey girls." Bridgette said to her high school friends.
"Friends of yours?" Sean asked.
"Yup these are Heather, Katie, Eva, Jasmine and Nikki." Bridgette said. (First four are from TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND and Nikki is from 6TEEN!)
"What are you doing here?" Nikki asked.
"Relaxing. My kids are with their mothers and everything is peaceful...For now." Sean said knowing anything could happen.
"I never once thought you of all people would work for the Legion." Heather said to Bridgette who smiled.
"I'm still technically an intern I don't really work for the Legion." Bridgette said.
"More like a worker with benefits." Louise said amused having seen her and the girls getting closer to him making her blush while her friends laughed.
While this was going on Sally went to check on the mail before she found a package with some documents.
"Listen I gotta head to the lab. I'll see you later." Sally said kissing Sean.
"Ok...Try to avoid Marks I don't need him being more of a pain in the ass." Sean said making her smile. Professor marks was in charge of the lab down here because Lane had placed him in charge. Sean of course never liked him from the beginning since Like Kennedy and Cathrine before she learned the value of human life didn't value civilian lives. On more than one occasion the two had gotten into arguments about what was required to achieve victory.
"Come on lets go have some fun." Louise said.
"Sure." Sean said.
Meanwhile
Sally was driving up to the lab to see the project before she opened the package from before reading the contents that was about a special breed of spiders the Legion had created using the DNA of Spiders from the age of Dinosaurs. Simulations showed that the Silk from those spiders was strong enough to keep Bullets at bay as well as a number of other things for industrial usage.
However lately she had gotten reports from a few friends at the lab that the spiders have been getting a little bigger which shouldn't have happened. So she asked for a blood sample to be sent to HQ for study.
"Hmm." Sally said looking over the results showing the Spiders were indeed growing. "Someone has some answering to do." Sally said getting out before she entered the building.
As she walked the halls she noticed no one was around. Then she noticed one of the vents was open making her raise an eyebrow before heading to the lab.
"Guys?" Sally asked seeing no one around before she walked around a table and saw someones leg but it was torn off. "OOOOOH!" Sally yelled in shock before seeing her staff was completely torn apart. "Oh my god!" Sally yelled before she heard someone. "Joseph?" Sally asked before she saw someone in a Cocoon before she rushed to it and tore it open revealing to be one of her staff members known as Joesph.
"She's hungry! Get out of here!" Joseph yelled.
"I'm not going anywhere. What the hell happened?" Sally asked.
"Feeding...They ran out of food. They broke loose. They went crazy!" Joseph said.
"Thats not possible theres enough food in there for a month!" Sally said.
"It's all gone. We tried to calm them down but they killed everyone in their path! Someone messed with their genetic structure. They weren't supposed to get that big!" Joseph said.
"What are you talking about? How big did they get?" Sally asked.
"As big as a full grown person." Joseph said before he started vomiting blood and died making her cry before she heard noises and bolted out and hid behind a table just as one of the Spiders came out that looked like a Black Widow and started eating him making her gasp before she bolted into her office and slammed the door.
"Oh god." Sally said before she tried to phone the base close by but the lines weren't working making her growl before she saw the fire alarm.
At the base
Russo and his men Marcus Fenix, Dome, Cole, Baird, Carmine, Jace and Dizzy were loading up supplies when the alarms went up.
"The hell? Get the gear lets move!" Russo said getting the Gears to get their weapons. Professor Mark rushed out and went to Russo.
"Lieutenant, Whats going on?" Mark asked.
"No idea. Alarm sounded at the lab, but no one is responding." Russo said.
"Isn't Miss Jones there?" Mark asked.
"She passed by about ten minutes ago." Russo said before they got into the truck and drove off.
Arriving at the lab they went in before Professor Marks found one of the papers from Sally's package and read it before he frowned as they went in.
"Shut that alarm off." Dom said getting a rookie to do just that.
"I don't like this." Baird said.
"Man I hate spiders." Dom said before looking down seeing a small amount of blood making him frown. "Marcus." Dom said getting his attention before sticking his finger in the blood.
"Still warm. This was recent." Marcus said as they traveled further into the lab.
"The Subjects are all in their cages. Besides, this probably nothing more than a raid by the Regime." Marks said.
"No." Russo said gaining his attention. "If the Regime was close by we would have gotten word. Not to mention the Regime haven't been active in 8 months. No...Something else is going on." Russo said. "All right listen up. Remember while this project isn't a one of the top projects of the Legion we still need to be careful." Russo said as they traveled further into the lab before they entered one of the rooms and found the bodies.
"How could this have happened?" Marks asked looking at the bodies.
"Rookie Get in there and check the bodies." Russo said getting the Rookie to do just that.
Sally opened her door and sighed seeing them.
"Sally? What happened?" Russo asked.
"The Black widow Spider did this." Sally said.
"How could a small spider do all that?" Dom asked.
"She's not small anymore. I don't know what happened but they have gotten considerably larger." Sally said making Marks frown.
"How big exactly?" Marks asked.
"About the size of a person. Something is not right. Sean and I didn't design them to get that big. They are only supposed to be the size of a full grown hand." Sally said before the Black Widow spider jumped on the rookie making him yell out in pain.
"Private!"
"Don't shoot! He's dead already!" Marks yelled.
"Light her up!" Russo yelled as he and the Gears fired at the Giant Spider but she got up into the vents and got away. "FUCK!" Russo yelled.
"Those things aren't supposed to be that big!" Baird yelled.
"Yeah no shit. Sally I need you to go to the Lodge and warn them to get off this mountain." Russo said getting her to rush off.
"Lieutenant...We need to capture these creatures alive. It took years of work to get this far." Marks said making him frown.
"We'll do what we have to...But if it comes to killing those things to keep the Civilians safe I am putting them down. And I don't care what kind of pull you think you have." Russo said walking past him to collect the Rookie's dog tags.
Meanwhile Sally had managed to get some of the data from Marks lab and took it with her to her car before inserting it into her computer. Looking at the Data she saw it was Marks who was responsible for the growth acceleration.
"You accelerated the growth rate. The end justifies the means my ass!" Sally yelled before driving back to the lodge.
Back at the lodge
"Ever miss the old days?" Frank asked his old student who smirked.
"Hell...I prefer the old days. Things were so much simpler back then. No having to save the world every week. No major crisis that fell on your shoulders to stop. But you do what you have to." Sean said before Sally rushed in. "Hey Sally. How the lab?" Sean asked.
"We gotta problem." Sally said showing him the data making him frown as he scanned through it.
"No, no. What has that idiot done?" Sean said in disbelief.
"What is it?" Frank asked.
"The lab up north was made to contain special spiders we made that could make a very unique silk. We were using them to for multiple purposes. Professor Marks went behind my back and accelerated the Growth rate...Who knows what will happen to them now." Sean said.
"I already do...They ran through my staff like they were nothing." Sally said before screaming was heard outside and someone rushed in.
"Run they're killing everyone!"
"Goddamnit!" Sean yelled as they rushed outside.
To Sean's shock the spiders were beyond the original size he and Sally programed.
"Kid please tell me seeing things." Frank said.
"No old man this is real. We gotta help these people." Sean said as he and the others rushed to get the civilians inside.
"I thought you said Spiders don't like the cold?" Venom said.
"They don't but my guess is because of the growth acceleration it increased their metabolism giving them an immunity to the cold." Sean said before leading a group of civilians inside.
Frank had just led a married couple inside before he spotted Bridgette's friends by the snowmobiles and rushed to them.
"This is getting out of control." Heather said.
"Those things are eating everyone." Katie said before Nikki got a better look.
"The hell are they?" Nikki asked.
"Giant spiders. What do they look like?" Eva said.
"Like in the movies with the bugs and the radiation." Jasmine said.
"Welcome to the new world." Nikki said.
"Looks theres the bus driver!" Heather said as he and a few others rushed to the bus. Only to get ambushed by one of the spiders making them sigh.
"We have to get out of here." Eva said.
"No. We gotta stay here." Jasmine said.
"You girls ok?" Frank asked walking in.
"We gotta get out of here." Nikki said.
"Ok lets make a run for the bus." Frank said seeing if the coast was clear before they ran straight for the bus before they got inside.
"Where the hell are the keys?" Heather asked looking for them.
"I think I see the driver with them." Katie said looking at the dead bus driver.
"Well someone has to go out and get them." Nikki said.
"Oh fine I'll go." Eva said about to go out.
"Absolutely not it's not safe out there!" Frank said.
"Doesn't matter. Once we get them we can leave and get help." Eva said before she rushed outside to get the keys. As she was getting them the Black Widow spotted her. "Oh shit!" Eva said before grabbing them and bolted back to the bus before Heather put them in and drove away.
"What about the others?" Nikki asked.
"Don't worry. Sean and the others can look after them till we get back." Frank said before the Black Widow jumped on the front.
"Oh shit!" Heather yelled before they crashed.
Back at the lodge
Sean and the others got everyone that was left inside.
"Not pretty but it should hold." Louise said as Stan tried to phone to call down support.
"The phones are dead." Stan said.
"What?" Sean said in disbelief before trying it himself but got nothing before frowning. "Marks. You son of a bitch!" Sean said annoyed.
At the phone lines Marks had just secretly deactivated the phone lines and smirked.
"Sorry Commander...But I can't risk the men coming down here and killing my projects." Marks said to himself before going back to Russo.
Sean growled before he and Stan went down to the Generator.
"You mind explaining what the hell is going on? I know those things have to be from the Legion." Stan said.
"Not wrong on that. Shortly after the Legion was formed one of Ross's platoons found the prehistoric remains of an arachnae in Afghanistan. The remains were sent to me for further study." Sean said.
"So wait these things are from the dinosaur age?" Stan asked.
"Not exactly but close enough. I consulted with my old Biology professor Wu. He helped splice in the DNA into Modern Spiders." Sean said.
"So what you guys were planning to use them for animal warfare?" Stan asked.
"No. Believe or not but Spider silk is an extremely valuable material for multiple purposes like industrial uses clothes even military. We were using it to make bullet proof armor." Sean said.
"Thats it?" Stan asked.
"Pretty much. The problem when we first started was getting enough silk to work with. So we made them bigger...But they never were supposed to get that big. Professor Marks went behind our backs and made them larger than they were supposed to be." Sean said.
"Why?" Stan asked.
"He believes that victory should be achieved by any means necessary even at the cost of civilians. We've had plenty of arguments in the past but this time he's gone to far." Sean said.
"So what'r you gonna do? Kill him?" Stan asked having seen enough of his methods before hand on people like this.
"If I have to." Sean said.
Meanwhile
Frank and the others came to before they looked around.
"What happened?" Heather asked.
"What happened? You nearly killed us!" Eva yelled.
"Enough. Whats done is done." Frank said.
"Where's Katie?" Nikki asked before they saw her in her seat and looked to see she had blood on her face.
"What happened?" Jasmine asked in concern.
"She must have hit her head pretty hard. We gotta get her back to the lodge." Frank said before the Black Widow got on top of the bus.
"I don't she's gonna let us go." Nikki said.
"I got an idea." Frank said opening the doors before the Black Widow tried to move its legs inside before Frank closed it making it screech in pain. "GO OUT THE BACK!" Frank yelled.
"We'll come back for you." Nikki said as they went through the back and rushed away.
Back at the Lodge
Everyone was gathered around the fire before a man put some more wood in the fire and went to get more. However the snow fell in and put it out.
"Oh for crying out loud!" The man yelled going in to light it again but ended up screaming as a green Spider came in and bit his head making the others scream and run back before it came through. Stan rushed in with an Axe and hit it in the back making it cry out before it shoved him down and tried to jump in only for Venom to grab it.
"I just got an idea!" Venom said before he started absorbing the spider's power and a large logo of Spider man's logo appeared on his chest before he crushed it. (I got this idea from VS GAG from his VENOM vs Spider man part 2 video)
"Nice." Sean said as he took control. "Huh. I wonder if Parker would call me a copy cat now that I can shoot webs?" Sean asked before someone started banging on the door making him turn and saw Nikki and her group before he rushed over and opened the door. "What happened?" Sean asked as they put Katie down.
"She hit her head on the bus. We tried to go for help." Heather said.
"Wheres Frank?" Sean asked
Back with Frank
Frank was trying to keep the Black Widow still till she managed to open the door but got shot with a net capturing her.
"Nice timing." Russo said as he and Marks walked to Frank.
"Thats what I call a rescue." Frank said.
"What happened here?" Russo asked.
"Those things attacked the resort, we tried to escape, and we crashed." Frank said.
"Thats impossible. They should barley be moving at this temperature." Marks said.
"Thats says different." Baird said kicking the Black Widow making her growl.
"We need to contain this situation." Marks said.
Soon enough the group was back at the resort seeing the dead bodies the spiders were eating.
"Buddy you there? Kid?" Russo said using the radio before Sean grabbed it.
"Russo." Sean said.
"Whats going on up there?" Russo asked.
"We're trapped inside the fucking lodge. I can't risk going outside incase another of things comes in through the chimney." Sean said before Marks took the speaker.
"Commander this is Professor..." Marks tried to say.
"GET OFF THE FUCKING MIC!" Sean yelled making him blink in surprise.
"Sir?" Marks asked.
"This is all your fault! You went behind my back and made these fuckers bigger than they were originally supposed to be! As far I'm concerned your to blame!" Sean yelled making him sigh before handing it back to Russo.
"Listen buddy we have the equipment needed to capture them, but we need them in a controlled space so they don't attack us." Russo said.
"Use the food from the labs. Those hormones are like drugs to them." Sally said.
"We still need an area to contain them." Russo said.
"The snowboard half-pipe. If you and the others can black off the bottom end, You could sit on top and pick them off all day." Sean said.
"How are we gonna get them down there?" Russo asked.
"Leave that to me." Sean said.
While this was going on Nikki found something in the storage room and grinned.
"Hmm." Nikki said in thought.
(Insert Noots from sum 41)
Soon enough Sean was ready with ski equipment.
"You sure about this?" Stan asked.
"No other way." Sean said before Nikki in Ski equipment walked next to him. "What are you doing?" Sean asked.
"I'm going with you. With two of us the odds are better that they'll follow." Nikki said.
"You sure about this?" Sean asked making her grin
"Sure why not? I live for danger." Nikki said making him chuckle.
"Honestly why am I not surprised?" Sean asked before they both jumped down. "YEEEHAAW!" Sean yelled as the remaining Spiders followed them.
Eva and Heather were next with something on Eva's back.
"What are you two doing?" Sally asked.
"You'll see!" Heather yelled as they skied down.
Sean and Nikki went down the mountain making sure the spiders followed them.
"Still excited sweetheart!" Sean asked making her grin.
"Oh yeah!" Nikki said.
Down at the end Russo and the Gears were getting the trap ready.
"Hope they choke on this shit." Jace said unloading some green slime from the barrel.
"They better." Carmine said.
"Keep up!" Sean yelled as they neared the end.
"Here they come!" Marks yelled before Sean and Nikki went up and the Spiders fell into the trap before Jace and Carmine used Net guns on them. "See no reason to kill them."
"Do not fucking start!" Sean yelled just as Sally and Louise came down.
"Does this mean we won?" Louise asked.
"They're still alive." Nikki said.
"This exercise validated our design work helped shave years of research, had we had to restart the experiment." Marks said.
"And what about what those things did to the people at the resort? There are still dead and wounded back there." Nikki said.
"We'll take care of that. They'll be debriefed on the situation." Russo said.
"Can you imagine what the press is gonna do with this story?" Nikki said to Sean.
"The press isn't going to know about this." Marks said making her frown.
"What?"
"This is beyond top-secret. No one knows about this program, and no one ever will." Marks said.
"And just how do you plan to keep everyone quiet?" Nikki asked.
"By reminding them that the Regime is still out there and we need to use everything in our disposal to protect our way of life." Marks said making her scoff.
"Yeah just like how you protected all those people at the lodge...Kinda makes you wonder who the real enemy is." Nikki said making Sean nod while Marks sighed.
"Miss listen to me." Marks tried to say.
"Forget it. I'm a civilian and I don't have to listen to this Bullshit. And if you're not gonna do anything about it...I will." Nikki said.
"What?" Sean asked.
"What are you talking about?" Marks asked.
"Nikki?" Sean asked before she pulled out a whistle.
"Plan B!" Nikki said before blowing it a few times. Sean looked closer seeing Heather and Eva with what he knew as an Avalanche cannon.
"Oh boy." Sean said before Heather fired it. "INCOMING!" Sean yelled as the ducked as the Spiders blew up in one hit.
"YES!" The girls yelled in victory.
"Ok that was impressive." Sean said before Marks grabbed her.
"ARE YOU INSANE!" Marks yelled before Russo pulled him off her.
"Piss off!" Nikki said.
"I am going to have you put away for the rest of your life! Lieutenant! Arrest the girl and if she tries to resist kill her." Marks said.
"No. Thats not gonna happen." Sean said making him look at him.
"What?" Marks asked.
"As far I'm concerned she just did the world a favor. You really think I'm gonna continue this project now after the death of 30 or more civilians?" Sean asked.
"30? I've seen 10 times that number in one airstrike. I was out on the front lines when the Regime started the last war. This program is gonna help stop that! And if you think I'm gonna let you shut this down because of some small damage your dead wrong! Arrest the girl!" Marks said to Russo.
"I don't take orders from you." Russo said making him growl and tried to grab his gun
"IF YOU WON'T DO IT I WILL!" Marks yelled before Sean kicked him down making him scream as he slides down to the last spider.
"Kill it!" Sean said.
"What about Marks?" Russo asked as the spider killed him.
"He's dead." Sean said as Russo and the gears unloaded their clips on the Spider before it died.
"Now then." Sean said pulling out a fire grenade before throwing it in the metal bow holding the black widow before it went off making her screech as she burned to death.
"Thats the end of that." Nikki said.
Days later
Thankfully the Legion didn't suffer any damage to its reputation since Marks acted on his own and Sean shut down the project and delated all information on it to prevent anyone from thinking of restarting it and to make sure the Regime didn't get a similar idea.
Now however though.
Julia was currently in Labor and screaming like hell.
"Easy honey...OW!" Reznov yelled as she crushed his hand.
"I...AM...GOING...TO...KILL...YOU!" Julia yelled in pain making Sean laugh.
"Wow I am so lucky my girls don't do that." Sean laughed.
"I hate you Kruger." Reznov said before Julia screamed louder than before the sounds of soft crying was heard.
"Easy now." Ann Possible said cutting the umbilical cord before cleaning the baby. (To my most Loyal Guest question on why she's always delivering the babies is because she's working for the Legion and I feel Its better she deals with the delivering process to people like them)
"So is it a boy or a girl?" Sean asked as Julia sat up.
"It's a boy." Ann said handing the baby back to Julia who started crying seeing her baby boy in her arms.
"Oh my god he's so beautiful." Julia cried out as her son had his father's purple eyes.
"Oh." Reznov said crying a little.
"So what are you two gonna name the little guy?" Sean asked.
"Hmm. Vladimir Mactavish Reznov." Julia said making Vladimir laugh at his mother.
"Catchy." Sean said as Soap and Price walked in.
"You doing ok Sis?" Soap asked.
"Let me be blunt. I'd rather take a knife in the chest again." Julia said making everyone laugh.
"Oh come on it wasn't that bad. The girls had an easier time delivering." Sean said.
"Shut up." Julia said glaring at him making him hold his hands up in surrender.
Authors Note: The Spiders are dead and now the Legion has yet another member to its ever growing family.
