This is a Spiderman, Marvel, DC Crossover Fanfiction Only.
The people of Wakanda were very happy that Peter and Harry had come to their nation, or at least those that knew of their accomplishment within their nation, they stopped a coup, ended the criminal activities of a group of potential rebels, and made the nation feel more inclusive by helping to add five other tribes as protectors of the nation.
In a short amount of time, their forging techniques and basic education for the citizens improved a lot. Harry knew however that much like in their previous home, they could not simply stay, they had many places to go and many people to help. The chieftain, his wife, and even the other tribe leaders were kind of sad when they heard it was time for them to leave.
They however felt that they needed to do something to show their gratitude, that is when the chieftain and several tribe leaders decided to build these two men and their wives a home of their own, should they ever choose to return to Wakanda, they would know they have a home there and will always be welcomed.
As for the Savage Kingdom their first home, that place was not forgotten, the friendship Harry and Peter made also meant that diplomatic ties had been established between the two nations, economic trade and sharing of technology for a better and brighter future was something the people of Wakanda were happy to do with the place where Harry, Peter, and their wives came from.
Vandal was quite happy to see that Harry and Peter no matter the distance was still helping their people, and this new diplomatic alliance was very beneficial it allowed them to continue the development of the kingdom while strengthening their defenses against those that used the Spider Faith as an excuse to try and invade them.
It was not about faith, or even who they worship, it was greed plain and simple. The people in the Savage Kingdom had a standard of living that the citizens of other kingdoms could only dream of. They had to expand the kingdom's territory and build more because due to how they did things, many people always wanted to immigrate into the kingdom, some for good but some for ill.
In the first three months of the alliance with Wakanda, they managed to find the kingdom that was spreading lies about the Spider Faith, and with improved weapons and armor, they finally managed to defeat their army, with his army defeated the enemy king surrendered, and expose their plot to the other kingdoms gained the Savage Kingdom a lot of sympathies and goodwill.
Peter and Harry had continued their travels with their wives across the continent and they were enjoying their travels quite a bit, the lands were full of animals and plants that their wives found both fascinating and in some cases quite frightening at first, but Peter and Harry did their best to stop them from getting close to poisonous plants, or to dangerous animals.
They continued their travels till they found themselves in a rather strange land, and after centuries of travel, with a few visits to Wakanda or the Savage Kingdom to check on them to see how they were doing their travel was rather peaceful. They decided to visit both kingdoms every twenty years unless they suddenly felt a sense of disturbance or danger from either the Savage Kingdom or Wakanda.
1000 years later 23,000 BC
Peter explained that apparently, his spider-sense had improved immensely due to them becoming champions of Arachne. This was quite something new for Harry since this ability was not one that he had a lot of experience with, unlike Peter who pretty much told him it was the ability to sense danger, but this time it was so much powerful it bordered on precognition.
That is when one night when camping under the stars Harry was tending to the fire, and Peter was getting some firewood ready to make dinner when they heard their wives shouting to someone or some people.
They immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed to where their wives were trying to get some fruit from a nearby tree. They were still up on the tree branches but something strange was happening these reptile people were trying to get them down from the tree to attack them.
They were making noises they never heard before but there was no time to discuss things Peter went and rushed in and knocked them out, these attackers had no clue what happened, Harry used vines to tie them up. As soon as this happened both women came down carrying what seems to be apples, over fifty of them.
One of the reptile men finally woke up as he felt the campfire, Harry looked at him, "Look we don't understand your language but you clearly understand ours, so one nod for yes and two nods for no. Don't lie because we will know if you do. Did you plan to attack these women?" The reptile man answered with one nod of his head.
"Did you plan to do anything besides killing them?" This time he answered with two nods.
"Are we going to be attacked again, and are there many of you in this land?" The reptile man with a cold glare nodded once and only once to both questions. This was troubling they needed to learn their language, but apparently, Peter disliked the fact that Harry's symbiote ate the rebel at Wakanda, so Harry had no clue how to learn their language quickly and efficiently.
"We are not invaders, we are not your enemies, we are mere travelers, if you don't attack us again, we will let you go. We don't want to have to fight you when there is no reason for it."
The reptile man looked like he didn't believe him, his confusion was obvious and plain to see on his face, sure enough, he did untie them all and as they finally got up and were ready to leave, one of the women offered these reptile men who once tried to kill her a serving of the stew she and the other woman had been working on.
The one that had been answering Harry's questions simply nodded his head twice and he and his men left the area. "You know this is not over, they will attack us again, probably at night since they did attack our wives at night." Harry had to agree with Peter they do seem like nocturnal hunters. Their eyes probably grant them better eyesight while hunting at night.
But next time these reptile men attack, they will be killed as if they were nothing more than animals, if they do they chose to ignore their words that they were no threat and decided to act like rabid animals, and that is how they will be treated.
They now decided to take out the weapons that they received from the people of Wakanda, Peter had a pair of daggers, his wife had a mace strapped to her back, Harry had a spear, and his wife had a shield and a sword. These were made using the knowledge of blacksmithing Harry shared, and they were among the toughest weapons the world had ever seen.
Metal that can cut through a diamond, edge so thin that it could cut the bonds of molecules at a nuclear level. This means these weapons could cut through anything, and it would be fast but certainly not painless.
Peter makes a temporary spider totem to communicate with their goddess about what just happened, they just met the Reptilian Ophidians who ambush them, they managed to beat them enough to stop the assault, but they had no clue whatsoever how to communicate, and seeing the reactions from what happened in Wakanda they need the means to learn their language without having to devour an entire member of their tribe.
Arachne laughs and tells them that she would like it if possible for them to help that tribe a little bit, since she is pretty good friends with the goddess they worship, as for the knowledge she said it was not a difficult language at all, as she sent them the knowledge of the Ophidians language into their minds using their connection with the web of life.
Well, this language was certainly one that they will need to get used to since it was practically painful to try and enunciate the words. She tells them that was basically the night guard, and now that they can speak their language, they should be able to communicate better.
Well, this made the situation a little better so they could now at least hide their weapons, not to seem threatening but still not be unprepared to defend themselves should things turn against them at a moment's notice.
The main home of these people was not that far away from their camping site actually, it took them less than an hour to find it thanks to all the information their goddess gave them and having tracked the group that had attacked them the previous night.
The entrance was a large cavern that lead to a large maze of passages, Harry simply said this was more than likely for security against possible invasions, as they finally made it to the place where they could feel the glares of the guards looking at them, they decided to speak in their language.
Peter told them that they came to meet with their chieftain to clear up any misunderstanding, their goddess is a good friend of the Spider Goddess, and both Harry and Peter were her champions. At first, they didn't want to believe them, whispering among themselves how easily that group of night guards was beaten by them.
A particularly gruff sounded voice was heard, "So you came to clear up any misunderstanding, how nice, is that truly your only goal in wanting to speak with me?" Harry said that they did also want to speak with the man to find out what would be needed for their kind to become their friends.
The gruff voice told the guards to let them through and guide them, the guards decided to guide them to what seemed to be an underground arena, many of their kind who appear to be gladiators were ready to pick a fight with Peter and Harry. "Isn't this nice you wish to be our friends? I hate to tell you that my kind only respects strength, as such if you wish to become our friends, you must defeat our strongest warrior."
Their strongest warrior was eight feet tall and for all the way her body looked like a female of their kind, she looked kind of bored Harry could only guess that she was so strong that no one would dare to challenge her to spar. Harry looked at Peter and said, "I know she is tough, but having no one to spar with must make her pretty lonely."
Peter asked him if they were going to decide who would traditionally fight her. Harry said why not? It was tradition after all. The two got closer together and then they would decide using an ancient method, rock, paper, scissors, three matches, and sure enough, Peter won the first one, but the next two were won by Harry.
So in the end it was decided that Peter would fight her. Harry didn't want to fight her because he felt sorry for her, and Peter didn't want Harry to fight her because he thought that he would take it easy on her. Once she heard their reasons as they both told each other, she began to laugh.
"Boys, there is no reason to fight over little old me, why don't I fight against the one named Peter, and then I can fight the other one after that, no reason to feel left out of a good fight."
Harry listened to the teasing tone in her voice and knew for certain this was a female of their species, and he was glad that his wife had not been present, or else she might have attacked her the minute that she said that in that tone.
Peter decided not to use weapons and fight hand to hand, something that his opponent liked for some strange reason. As the two got closer together, Peter began to hop from one foot to the next, and as the fight began he punched her hard in her stomach causing her to double in pain.
This gave her the chance to grab his left punch lifted him into the air and body slammed him to the floor. Peter was quickly reminded of wrestling moves he once knew of. They fought for about thirty minutes when finally the Ophidian fighter declared her loss and that she couldn't fight anymore.
This caught all the people watching them fight by surprise, their mightiest warrior had been defeated with nothing more than her opponent's hands in less than an hour. She, on the other hand, looked pretty happy about it, the chieftain said that they proved themselves worthy but why was Harry looking at her and moving his body like that?
Peter told him that their opponent said that she wanted to fight both of them and Harry being a gentleman, simply refuses to disappoint a lady. After she rested for thirty minutes both Harry and his lady warrior go ready to fight, still choosing not to use any weapons.
Harry decided to put his kickboxing skills to the test, and that is when she was caught by the surprising speed of his combo attacks, for some strange reason she felt like she could win since apparently, she was taller than he is, higher height means longer legs, which translated to having a longer reach for her attacks.
This time since Peter had been deemed worthy they didn't stop, they fought for what seemed to be an hour, and after trading blows and kicks against each other, they were both pretty tired and with a final punch, Harry hit her right in the sweet spot where the punch would cause the person's head to shake.
She immediately felt dizzy but she didn't put too much thought into it, as she tried to get up from the ground as fell due to her dizziness. No matter how much she tried to get up, something made her unable to get back up again until he was declared the winner of the match.
They were both guided to first see their healers check if they needed any assistance, and when the healer told them that both humans were perfectly healthy, the chieftain went and guided them to what seemed to be a meeting room. "You wish to become our friends, and friendship is good, but I have to ask why would this be beneficial to my people?"
"You both defeated our mightiest warrior, if you both decided to invade our home and for us at best to become your slaves, or at worst decided to kill us, there is nothing any of the guards can do to hope to stop you. So I am curious about what benefit would this friendship have for my people and why you want it?"
As soon as they heard this Harry knew exactly why he wanted to say, "There is an old saying there is strength in numbers, what do we want? Allies. You want to know how this benefits your people, simple, survival. We know that sunlight has a harsh if the not potentially deadly effect on your people."
This made the chieftain look at them with a serious look, "We know that your people feel threatened and by the way, the world is right now, but we are being honest your goddess is a friend of the goddess who we are champions of, we want to help you, and we want to prevent a potential horrible tragedy but to do that we want you to realize that we are your friends and accept us."
The chieftain asked if they are champions and who is the goddess they serve. Peter told him it was the Spider Goddess Arachne. This made the man look at them both and saw that they were not telling a lie, and he immediately took a deep breath.
"You are correct there are people who fear that due to our smaller population humans will want to or will cause our extinction, but the fact remains we are so different in simple appearance that this will be almost impossible, people fear that which they do not know, and people hate that which they fear."
"So how can you help us?" Harry told him there is a way to protect their skin and eyes from sunlight and he would be happy to teach them things that can do just that, and Peter told them that if appearance is the problem he can teach them to change how they look to look like ordinary humans, his people can blend in.
The chieftain asked how is this beneficial. Harry said that the more they can interact with humans the more they will see that they may look different on the outside, but inside they are not different at all given enough time, his people can become great friends with humans, and as such his race no longer would feel threatened and with the things he will teach their lives will be easier.
The chieftain said that indeed it sounds good, so they would be willing to give what they were going to teach a try, if this proves to be beneficial, yes, their kind shall acknowledge their friendship as their patron deities have already done so.
Little did they know there were many of their kind who were not happy to hear this at all, the idea of them becoming friends with the stupid hairless monkeys was a farce, a joke, and an insult, they wanted nothing more than to crush these humans and gain supreme dominance of the world.
This group of course would go as far as to violate their laws and beliefs if it means achieving their goal. They had a deep seeded hatred of humanity and much like the chieftain said this might have started from fear.
The Chieftain looked at Harry and Peter and he asked them to share with him the knowledge and they did so after the chieftain made an oath to the web of life, knowing their goddess was friends with the Spider Goddess made this something that they had no problem doing.
The substance was a potion that when placed on exposed skin would protect it from the harmful rays of the sun, the next was two lenses that can be worn close to the eye and would shield the eyes from sunlight, the final thing came from the web of life itself, the knowledge on how to change their appearance to look like humans.
The chieftain had several males and females do as they proposed and see if they could live among humans without any problems, much to his shock and amazement it worked, to the humans the people that did this were no different from them than themselves.
Three of the people that tried this became rather good friends with humans and they talked and enjoyed pleasant conversation like it was the most natural thing in the world. Thanks to this many of the fears of their kind slowly began to weaken, and hearing that they can treat each other as friends, made the chieftain understand why Harry and Peter were so adamant about becoming friends.
The fact is that the chieftain and his family did accept their friendship and they understood what they were saying that together they could make the lives of everyone better not just their species, and doing so will be the path to ensure the survival of their species.
His mate even joked that maybe one say human males and females might even marry members of their tribe and have children together since her daughter had mentioned that some of the comments that some males told her about her looks were quite flattering.
1000 years later 22,000 BC
A thousand years have passed since they came to live among the Ophidians life has improved immensely for the Ophidian Tribe, except for the group that was motivated by the hatred of humans. This group refused to listen to anything Harry and Peter were teaching their tribe, they called it the stupid grunts of apes.
The Chieftain and most majority of the tribe however knew how their lives had improved ever since their friends, the champions of Arachne had come and begun living with them, many situations that had troubled them for centuries were disappearing as if they had been nothing more than nightmares.
The traitors of the tribe began to form a group that held the same belief that only their tribe deserved the right to dominate and own the world, that humans were just something that was in their way to achieving their goals, so they would put an effort to eliminate humanity so they can be the sole rulers of the entire world.
They called the group Cobra, and they would try to make acts that cause fear and terror among humans so that they would either become easier to eliminate or simply make them suffer, these terrorist activities however did not unnoticed by the chieftain of the tribe.
In the past thousand years, the chieftain saw that the once prediction that humans and their kind could not only become friends but even mate became true, many couples were happily living together as mates, and because of this, the population of the tribe increased by leaps and bounds.
Once the tribe and many of their friends found out about the reality that Cobra was behind the terrible acts that only served to bring nothing but pain and death, the Ophidians and their humans' friends began to fight against this terrorist organization. The two friends fought side by side to bring such an evil group down, and this made the members of Cobra furious.
Their tribe was working with the accursed apes to get in the way of their goal of world dominance. This had the unfortunate result many times before causing a war between the terrorist group called Cobra, against the Ophidian Tribe and humans. The chieftain gave a speech to those that were afraid of this war, telling them that they are now friends with humanity and as friends, they will stand together.
"Cobra will cause the death of our very tribe, we must not let fear take control of us, we must stand together to fight against this evil, for doing so is the way that we will secure the future for our young, and ourselves, with our human allies, we must put an end to their evil plans, regardless in the end together we stand or we will fall."
This speech motivated many warriors in the tribe to put the sadness of fighting people who were once members of their tribe aside and decided to look towards the future and see the big picture, to try and prevent this must be the reason the friend of their goddess sent their two champions to prevent it.
Some said that in the future some people may call this the great Ophidian Civil War, and some would say it was the war that forged two species as one. Nevertheless, the fact remains that Peter and Harry knew that this war was going to cause many casualties, and as such, they did everything they could with the help of the Savage
Even now they are still trying their best to ensure the survival of their species, even as Cobra calls them everything from liars to deceivers. In the end, the war was brutal, fighting was between their tribe and humans were there to help the ones that were their friends against the evil group called Cobra.
The war lasted for twenty-five years, twenty fives years of horrible atrocities, heartbreaking tragedies, and so many needless deaths in the end, if they wished for every member of the Ophidian Tribe to come and hate humanity as the ones that were members of Cobra did, then their goal backfired spectacularly.
This war ended up doing the complete opposite, the tribes' friendship with humanity became stronger as the war continued and many humans were considered heroes by the tribe as they fought to stop Cobra from actually causing harm to their people. Harry and Peter were at times there as field officers leading the men to fight and even fought against Cobra themselves.
Peter prevented the death of hundreds of small children, and thousands more lives as he used his spider abilities to stop Cobra from being able to do things like poison their water source or even lay traps for children at places where they played. Harry was there to assist in every manner possible, healing was provided, and even had to fight against Cobra members who wanted to kill the field hospital where Harry was working in.
Their wives fought in such ways that no one could ever call them either weak or defenseless, the apparent actions of Cobra had infuriated them to the point that they simply fought with all their might, and having lived as long as they have they used the wisdom of age to make Cobra suffer as punishment for their evil deeds.
