This is a Spiderman, Marvel, DC Crossover Fanfiction Only.
The war was not going so well for Cobra, and many of their members knew that they were both being hunted down and in some manner they deserved it, but the fanatical worship of their twisted ideals made them unable to fully realize this.
For twenty-five years the war went on, and they suffered casualties that would make every single one realize the folly of their actions, but these fanatical rebels were insane, so a plan was devices, a fail-safe, thirty members of cobra would go into hiding, and slowly raise their numbers by using any means to increase their numbers.
They were terrorists so morals and ethics were not exactly even considered by them, they would take women hostage and use them as nothing more than breeding stock, the species did not matter, human or one of their own the only thing these hidden members would care about is numbers.
Forty-one of their elite warriors however would come up with a way to create a way for when their numbers were strong enough again to have them become stronger, strong enough to destroy humanity and any that oppose them in their goal of taking over the world.
They used ancient magics to create a black diamond, and into this diamond forty members would sacrifice all their power, their knowledge, and experience, essentially their very souls, and they each began to be absorbed by the diamond, the humans and their allies would later call it the dark heart.
As the last member remained for the final purpose of eliminating their most powerful enemies, as he held the crystal his body and soul were invaded by the ones that were inside the diamond, and it seems that their accursed project had worked, for this elite warrior became Fourty times stronger than he was before.
The fool believed that he was invincible, but Harry and Peter would say he was just an imbecile. The two champions rushed at the now massive cobra warrior and without holding back they used everything they had, and they began to attack it in such brutal ways the other warriors were so surprised that they were unable to even move.
Harry would use his lance which was used before for simply hunting and fishing, to attack him in his most vulnerable spots, causing him to slow down and when he was close to the ground Peter would dash in and begin to slash him with his daggers, little did the fool know those daggers were doing more than just cutting him up, they were slowly killing him.
The cobra elite suffered a death of a thousand cuts, each more painful than the last, and in truth, there was a reason, Peter learned that this elite cobra warrior had done something unforgivable, he had killed and raped a very good friend of his, there is something that made Peter furious and that was when someone hurts the people he cares about.
The last elite warrior was cut to ribbons, and using their powers they placed the black diamond back on the pedestal where the ritual had happened, their friends, thinking that this finally overcome to realize that the diamond still held the souls of those cobra members, and so it had to be protected.
A temple was erected and many warnings about the evil diamond were written on the walls, the dark heart must not fall into the hands of others, it must be hidden, and forever kept away from the touch of fools that would want it due to their greed. Several tribes were chosen to be the guardians of the temple, and they even made a talisman that could free people should they mistakenly touch the dark heart.
The Ophidians and Humans were true allies, they worked side by side, to keep that terrible crystal, Peter wished that the evil thing never saw the light of day again, but Harry knew better he knew that as long as greed and lust for power existed within the hearts of mortals the danger was always present.
After all, he was the son of the man who became a demonic goblin, who would know what darkness lurks within the hearts of man better than he? Peter told him to relax and think in a more optimistic sort of way, but that was cut short when a totem appeared right in front of them, it seems Arachne had an urgent message for them, "My Champions emergency has occurred, I am sorry but you will have to go to another planet for thousands of years."
Harry was quick to ask what about their wives? Arachne told them that in fact in order not to be seen as a threat, they will have to leave their symbiotes with their wives since the guardians of that world do not trust symbiotes since they know the sort of person their creator is.
Peter complained that not only do they have to be away from their wives, but also their symbiotes, this emergency mission began to sound worse and worse for him. Arachne was quick to remind them that both their wives and symbiotes are as immortal as they are, due to being close to that meteor, so there is nothing to worry about, they will be back together as soon as the situation on the planet is dealt with.
Harry asked her what was his planet called anyways, hoping they were not going to be sent someplace where it was essentially worse than hell. "The planet you will go to is called Oa, the guardians have just decommissioned their first attempt to provide law and order to the universe, the manhunters they called them."
"Right now, however, they are about to make a mistake that could have terrible consequences in the future, so you must go there now that the central battery has been constructed and help them improve the Lantern Corp, or millions of lives will suffer if you do not."
Well, this was not going to be easy for either of them but they both knew that their goddess would not send them without reason. Harry and Peter simply asked that their wives meet them since they had to talk about something very important. After so many things they have done and earning the respect of the tribe and of the humans that now were friends with the Ophidian Tribe, the chieftain felt like they should have a home of their own.
The home was nothing too lavished but it was a place where Peter, Harry, and their wives could live and have some privacy. Even though some female ophidians wished that both Peter and Harry had been single. Their wives often could feel the envy some of these women felt towards them, but they didn't care, they knew their husband's love was stronger than anything.
"We just got a mission from the Goddess Arachne, and it seems that we will have to leave this world and travel to another, where it could take us thousands of years to resolve the situation that has been foreseen that could happen there. And if that wasn't bad enough the guardians of that planet do not have the most favorable opinion of the Klyntar. Foolish I know but this is a peace mission so we will have to leave our symbiotes with you."
As soon as they said that both symbiotes said that they didn't want to be separated from them ever, the very notion was making them so sad that they were practically in tears. Harry told them that they are as immortal as their wives, and instead of thinking of it as abandoning or leaving them on Earth think of it as they are asking to keep the friendships and alliances they all worked so hard to form stable.
"We can't be on two planets at the same time, we must go to that planet called Oa, but we wouldn't be able to do anything there if we are constantly worried about what is happening to you and our friends. Know this, we do not like this any more than you do, but the goddess would not send us on this mission unless it was necessary."
This made their wives and the symbiote calm down as they realized that they have to do this as it is part of their duty of being champions of a goddess, Peter did remind them that the connection between them and the symbiotes had no limit on distance, time or would ever break.
"Our connection is stronger than anything, and if they are with you, we can still hear messages from our symbiotes about your current situation, we can even give you a few pieces of advice if you face a situation that is too much of a headache thanks to our mental link."
"You can know how we are by talking with our symbiotes, it is that simple, as for our abilities, don't worry, we still can use them just not as powerful or as efficiently as when we have our symbiotes with us. So you don't need to worry at all, we will simply use something that is the force of the universe and the phoenix force to get there."
"The only question is which one do you want to use Harry?" Harry told him cosmic force, there is no way he wants to risk getting possessed by the phoenix force. Peter began to laugh as he scowled at Harry and told him the Phoenix Force only did that once, in millions of years, not going to be an issue, but fine. Peter said that he will go have the phoenix force and Harry can use the enigma force to get him to their destination.
Both women told him that they would miss them as they kissed them and as this happened the symbiotes slipped from them and unto their wives. The symbiotes appeared as a face on their shoulder and told them not to worry, they will keep their mates perfectly safe, but they too will miss them, so be sure to come return.
Both men promised that they would indeed return safe and Peter promised that they will do their very best to try and make this situation be resolved in such a way that they can remain with them for many, many years of harmonious matrimonial union.
As they used their connection with the web of life they called upon the very forces of the cosmos and the phoenix force who appeared in all their glory as they wrapped around both Peter and Harry, their forms began to change into somewhat Spiderman costumes that reminded Peter of the Phoenix Suit and the Cosmic Power Suit.
Before their wives could even say something about their new look, they simply used the power and disappeared from their home, as they traveled at amazing speeds through space, Harry mentioned to Peter that space feels different than what he thought it would.
Peter told him it is that his perception of space has changed since his senses due to having more powerful senses or it could be that he was literally at the moment the very embodiment of the power of the cosmos. Harry told him he just hoped their wives and symbiotes will be safe while they are away, Peter told him that they will be fine, no need to worry.
Well, the planet was a lot more different than Earth, for one Earth was seen from space as a blue marble, but Oa from space looked like it was much bigger than Earth and it was almost completely green. Harry simply wished that this doesn't mean the atmosphere was acidic because without their symbiotes their regenerative abilities are not as strong as when they were with them.
It turns out the color was due to the vast amounts of plant life on the surface of the planet, the place had so many different and strange forms of plant life that he doubts he will have time to learn about each of them, but as they landed they began to feel this tingle in the back of their arms and knew this was a warning.
Four large humanoid robots appeared and demanded to know what their purpose was for their invasion of Oa, Peter was quick to tell them that they were told to come to the planet by the goddess they serve and if possible they wish to speak with the guardians as quickly as possible, he did apologize for not making an appointment but he had no means to do that in the first place.
The machine men looked at him and nodded their heads, and told them to follow closely and they will guide them to the guardians. One of them a female model looked at him and asked him if he wanted her to marry him so that he can rest, Peter thanked her for the offer but said he was feeling alright.
Two other machine humanoids looked at him and began to shake their heads, as they finally made it to the audience chamber of the Guardians of Oa, Peter tried to introduce himself and his friend when one of the Guardians told him they know who they are since they had received a communication from the Goddess Arachne before their arrival.
Harry was getting tired of the grandstanding these guardians were doing so he decided to throw caution in the wind and just tell it like it is, "Guardians, we have come to warn you of a few potential deadly errors that you are about to do, both Peter and I have greater knowledge of what will happen in the universe than most can or would want to imagine."
One of the Guardians looked at him with a sneer of doubt, and asked them to give them an example, "Very well, let's start with the guards that brought us here, the manhunters I believe they are called, you are about to decommission them and all due to a misunderstanding."
A guardian right next to the man who talked before asked for more clarification, "Alright, I will happily do so, the person who has been sneering at me is named Krona, and he is the one that corrupted the manhunters, to show them as inefficient and emotionless, the thing is they are professional, they are not emotionless."
"They have as emotions as you and me, they simply are capable of controlling theirs to the point that they will not let their emotions interfere with their duties, and right now they are feeling sadness, disappointment, and rage, they feel like you are betraying them and if you do not take this into account, one day they will find a way to get revenge for the heartless way that you wish to kill them."
Peter began to laugh hearing Harry tell them, "You know there is something that is always amazing to me, they are feeling so hurt, and angry that to me it is amazing that the Red Lantern Corp has not recruited all of the manhunters, you have to admit they do have a perfectly reasonable reason for wanting revenge."
The one that had been sneering at Harry began to get worried, "What do you mean the Red Lantern Corp?" Harry told him that it was the Lantern Corp that was made to avenge the horrible crimes that had been committed against them when Sector 666 was nearly destroyed due to the actions of one of their fellow guardians, Krona yet again.
"At this moment in time, there are many Lantern Corps either forming or have formed the only thing is you and the other guardians are simply not aware of them nothing that surprising the universe is quite vast," Peter said.
Harry told them they are here to do one thing, and that was to help them in their goal of becoming the protectors of hundreds of sectors in space, and once they do so, he and his friend hoped that they will consider them, their friends, well except for Krona who just got two of his major schemes exposed and would probably be angry at them.
One of the guardians looked at them, "If you wish to help us for now you need a place to dwell, as a matter of a fact, we do have that building we were planning to use for future lanterns that would be stationed here in Oa. As for the manhunters, you are correct, I shall apologize to them as soon as this meeting is over."
"We simply had no idea that they had achieved such a degree of sentiency," Harry told them that controlling their own emotions to focus on their duty would also be considered a sign of having a strong will, he told them they might want to consider them for their new lantern corp.
One began to nod and said though they are artificial, they are alive, and there is no reason at all to exclude them from the possible candidates to become green lanterns, but that was something that could only happen until they managed to repair their relationship with the manhunters and Guardians are forgiven for their actions.
Peter and Harry were then escorted by two manhunters, as they reached the place where the two men would live, one of the manhunters simply said thank you for speaking on our behalf. Peter simply told them that they only did the right thing, no different from what he would do, which much to people around made the manhunter laugh.
As both entered the place it was a pretty decent apartment, a room with two twin beds, a kitchen, a place like a bathroom, and even a place to wash their clothes. This was something he hoped that their next meeting would have good results. They decided to go as they saw a mess hall and they met the chef.
It would be a problem to understand other languages written or spoken till Arachne taught them a skill that allowed their minds to connect to the web of life to automatically translate written or spoken languages, they never had to do this before since apparently, they had grown to depend on their symbiotes.
They made it into the mess hall and began to wonder what the hell would be edible for humans, so they asked the chef, he confessed that he often had problems with replicating recipes from Earth, the variety was so wide that he had thousands of recipes and this made it incredibly difficult.
They both ordered something simple, steak, potatoes, something that looked like rice, and some fruit juice. The chef was happy that someone asked for something simple, which means he had a chance to finish their food quickly, but to him, easier recipes also have many opportunities to try and improve the recipe.
They ate their food and they considered it to be quite good. As they finished their food and they took their tray to the chef and thanked the man for the food, he asked them about something that made the man smile, Peter told him that some recipes have many things in common.
They would divide into menus that would be organized by the origin where the food was usually eaten, if he finds it too difficult, focus on a single region of the planet and learn their recipes taking time to learn the way they cooked the food, consider it as something to do as a fun exploration.
Peter began to tell him some ways he and his wife like to prepare their meals, it was done in such an easy way that the chef was happy to hear more about this, Peter asked Harry to tell him how he and his wife prepare their food and soon enough the two men talked with the chef as he cooked the food that people asked for.
Since they were talking to the chef they decided to grab some of the ingredients and did the work of a prep cook. The chef was happier than he had been in a long time. He heard of the most fascinating ways people of Earth prepared their food and with their help they had a lot more done.
As they were getting ready to go back to their apartment, the chef asked why did they do any of that, to which Peter simply laugh and he said that they came to Oa to help the Guardians and the planet, so why wouldn't they want to explain some things to a person who was so curious about Earth cuisine?
Harry simply told him that he can consider this as a thank you for making them such a delicious meal. The chef had served the food to hundreds of species, from hundreds of worlds, but he could count the number of times that someone took the time to thank him with the digits in one hand.
As they entered the place and they both got ready to go to sleep, Harry asked him why didn't protest about doing all that. Harry told him that his mother long ago told him a piece of advice, never anger the person who cooks your food. By doing this person a small favor they had a place where they know they can eat the food without thinking it was poisoned.
Besides the work they did in the kitchen for someone as experienced and with their speed, the work was practically nothing at all. Peter asked Harry how often does he cook in their home and with his wife? Harry told him that they take turns. Harry had a belief that sharing some of the housework was also a way to express his love for his wife.
The next morning they went to the mess hall and simply asked for some juice, and that is when the cook said to sit down and eat something. The cook was so happy that he got to learn more about Earth's cooking techniques, he was practically singing while cooking.
Little did he know Peter and Harry were from Earth and had memories of when the Earth had hundreds if not thousands of cooking books in all languages. Peter read some cooking books while he was a college student to learn to help his Aunt May, and Harry wanted to learn to cook to save money.
They had breakfast and the cook asked them for their opinion, to which they were happy to give him a few helpful suggestions and techniques to help him to prepare the dish he prepared and make it easier for him to cook.
As they left the mess hall and walked towards the place where they could take them to meet with the guardians, they couldn't help but hear that several manhunters were talking among themselves, and they were talking about how amazing it was that the misunderstanding and that the guardians apologized for how they were treated.
If these manhunters could cry, they would be crying out of sheer joy. They didn't however expect the Guardian who was responsible for what happened in sector 666 and the one that had corrupted the manhunters to be imprisoned and awaiting a very severe punishment.
Much like the manhunters said as they passed by the pathway that lead to where the Guardians were, Harry expected Krona not to receive any sort of harsh punishment, more like a slap on the wrist. They would be judging a fellow Guardian of Oa, they couldn't possibly be that harsh on the man.
As it happens he was made responsible for nearly causing the destruction and extinction of the Manhunters and the destruction and death of an entire sector of space, the number of lives that were lost would be horrible, and such a punishment would not be something merciful.
Peter said that if this was Krypton probably being sent to the Phantom Zone for all eternity would be the least of his punishment. He had to agree with Peter, but that will never return those lives that were lost.
The two finally made it to where the Guardians were sitting on their pedestals. "So I hope you find your living arrangements to your liking, you said you had a few suggestions to help make our dream of the Lantern Corp better than we could imagine, I have to admit I am quite curious as to what you would suggest." One of the Guardians said.
"You plan only to use the force of will, but in reality, using the other forces of the emotional spectrum could be quite beneficial in the way the lantern corp tried to be galactic law enforcement and peacekeepers."
And as for Krona he must become Parallax otherwise the worlds will be in danger so his punishment should be to be trained to become Parallax he would of course no longer be allowed to be on the council but that is because he is now the entity of fear itself Peter said.
