Part Two of my Spider-Verse event!
I own nothing from Spider-Man or Marvel
Chapter 15: The Spider-Verse: Part 2
Earth 199
Peter, or...Peter Y (Since he was younger than their Peter) eventually calmed down from the group hug, which he definitely needed.
"Peter, what happened to you?" May asked him, but he couldn't even begin to form an answer.
"Hang on, let's get OUR Peter here first," Ned interjected, then got out his Sling Ring from his pocket and made a portal. Said portal revealed an alleyway and everyone saw another Spider-Man, but...not the one they knew.
He was taller, and his suit looked like Aaron's second suit; with the large spider logo with longer legs, and larger but friendly looking eyes.
"Wow, this is real déjà vu," He stated. "Hey, Peter 1, MJ, Ned!"
"Uh, who are you?" MJ asked.
"What?" He took off his mask, revealing a man with shaggy, dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. "Guys, it's me! Peter 3!" AN: (Andrew Garfield)
"You're Peter Parker?!" Ned questioned.
Peter 3 glanced at May, "Wait, are you...Aunt May?"
"Yes."
"Wow, you're a lot younger than mine. No offence."
"None taken."
"But when I met Peter 1, you were dead, so...oh! This must be another dimension that's like that one, but different." Peter 3 started muttering to himself. "That's why this Ned and MJ don't recognize me."
"Hey!" MJ interrupted his muttering. "Prove that you're Peter Parker."
Peter 3 would've objected, but if this MJ was as cautious as the one he met; then he had to prove it. So, he jumped and stuck his hand to the ceiling.
"...Any Spider-Man can do that," MJ deadpanned. She grabbed an apple to throw at him, but he held up his hand to stop her.
"I do have the tingle, just not for food."
"Okay, uh..." MJ tried to think of something else to test him. "What's your middle name, who were your parents, and who picked on you in school?"
Peter 3 listed them by counting with his fingers, "Benjamin, Richard and Mary Parker, and Eugene "Flash" Thompson."
"...Okay, that tracks," MJ replied.
Ned created another portal, which revealed a rooftop, and a man in his forties stepped through. He had short brown hair, blue eyes, and some noticeable ears.
"Now it's just some random guy," Ned lamented.
"You said that last time..." The man started to say before he trailed off. "Wait a minute; this is different from before..." AN: (Tobey Maguire)
"This a different Earth than the one we went to," Peter 3 stated. "Although, this Earth has the same Peter, MJ and Ned, just different. Oh, and Aunt May is still alive!"
"You're Peter?" May asked.
"Yes."
"Hey...guys," Peter Y called to the other Peters.
"Peter 1?" Peter 2 questioned with obvious concern.
"Dude, what happened to you?" Peter 3 asked.
"Where do I even begin?" asked Peter Y. "I'd been exposed as Spider-Man and made a pariah in my world, first of all…"
He explained everything – every single last detail. He made sure to not skimp on anything. He didn't exaggerate, didn't downplay. All throughout it, everyone was quiet and unmoving in their expressions as they took it all in. But once he was finished, everyone had different looks. Peter 2 and Peter 3 had looks of sympathy, but also some disappointment. May's was a mix of heartache, and extreme disappointment. Heartache that this version of her nephew went through all that and now he was all alone, and disappointment over pretty much every decision he made. Especially breaking his promise.
MJ and Ned were a mixture of sympathy, sorrow, hurt, and anger. MJ especially.
That's when she went up...and then, she swung her arm out as her palm connected with his face, causing him to wince while the others gasped. And then, she did it again!
"OW! ...Okay, I deserved that..."
"Damn right, you do!" she exclaimed. "You selfless, selfish, self-hating, guilt-stricken, dumbass!"
Peter Y just stood in silence, letting her just tear into him.
But then Anya started fussing at seeing her mother angry, which of course made MJ calm down a bit as she went to soothe her baby,
"Oh no, no-no-no. I'm sorry, baby. Mommy didn't mean to scare you. Mommy's just mad at other daddy for being a dumbass."
That seemed to calm Anya down a bit, but she still sniffled and whimpered, so MJ gently held her and rocked her back and forth.
"Peter, you had no right making such a big decision for us," Ned stated. "You don't seem to realize how important you are to us. And I don't mean Spider-Man; I mean Peter Parker."
"He's right, dummy," MJ added. "You mentioned that your MJ told you that she loves you. Well, if she loves you as much I love my Peter; she's gonna realize that something or someone very important to her is missing from her life. Same with Ned."
"Exactly," he agreed.
"And this," MJ showed him her black dahlia necklace. "Did she still have it?"
Peter Y gasped a bit, then nodded.
"She's gonna wonder where she got it from," she continued. "Why does she never take it off? Why does her heart flutter whenever she fiddles with it?"
"Also, dude, whether you're in our lives or not; there's always gonna be danger," Ned added. "We live in a world with aliens, enhanced people, wizards, demons, and probably other things we don't know about. Wouldn't it be safer to have a superhero on speed-dial in case we need help?"
"He's got a point," Peter 3 stated.
"But Spider-Man kills everyone who gets close to him," Peter Y argued. "He ruins everything and everyone around him, eventually destroying their lives."
MJ scoffed, "And you actually believe that crap? Who said that; Jameson?"
"No, Green Goblin did."
"That's part of his mind games," Peter 2 interjected. "You can't listen to him."
"But-"
"But nothing, Peter!" May shut him up. "My death on your Earth wasn't your fault. It was the Goblin's, and his alone. And the spell getting messed up was Strange's fault, because he should've explained how the spell worked. Not everything in the world is your fault, Peter. Stop making it your fault." (1)
"I'm the one who caused this, so I should be the one to deal with the consequences," Peter Y tried to argue again.
Michelle frowned. "Peter, they're dealing with the repercussions of this as well. Do you really think that this is better for everyone? Do you really think that it's best for them to have forgotten everything about you?"
"I do. Trust me, this is the best way to deal with this mess. And I'm sorry that they're affected by my mistakes, by my decision, but this, what we're experiencing now, is much, much better than what our lives were like before the world forgot about me."
"Are all of your lives better by your decision, or just mine and MJ's?" Ned questioned.
"Does that really matter, though? I mean, what's the difference?"
"The difference, Peter, is you," May told him. "This worry you feel for them, this fear that you won't be able to protect us, this desire to make their lives better than what they were; you should apply that to yourself. Is your life actually better or worse right now that you're completely on your own?"
Peter turned away from them, staring down at his lap where his hands were, "Worse..."
"Oh, God, do I even WANT to know?" MJ asked with an exasperated expression. She already looked like she was over this.
"I learned the hard way that you can't do everything on your own," Peter 2 said. "Mary Jane, my MJ once told me "Everyone needs help, sometimes. Even Spider-Man"."
"If I'm being honest; you handled that situation badly from the start," Peter 3 added.
"What else should have I done then?"
"You don't want me to answer that," Peter 3 answered. "The only thing that'll do is make you feel even worse about something you can't change. But here is what I can tell you; unless you were the one who put them in a situation that forced their hand, you can't hold yourself responsible for other people's decisions."
"But I did put them in that position," Peter Y said. "I let them in."
"Yeah, exactly," Peter 3 agreed. "You LET them in. You didn't force them in. You didn't force them to stay. You opened up to them and showed them what your life is like. They could have distanced themselves from you and decide they didn't want to be a part of any of that, but they didn't. They decided that being close to you was worth it."
"Remember what Alfred told Batman in Arkham Origins?" Ned asked. ""You are a man, not an island. And a man's strength comes not just from brawn and intelligence, but also from his allies." And that applies to guys with superpowers as well."
Peter Y looked down, "I really messed up on that one, didn't I?"
"Yeah, no shit," MJ deadpanned.
"I don't know how I can start to make up for this," he said in dismay.
"Can we first talk about how the three of us got transported to another world again?" Peter 3 brought up.
"Oh, wait a minute," Ned created another portal, which the Peter he knew unexpectedly zoomed out of, like he was moving fast through the air! ...Which, technically he was at the time before the portal appeared. But thanks to his quick reflexes, he webbed up to the ceiling and stuck there, so he didn't crash into anything!
"WHOA! Ned, did you do that?! What the hell man?!"
"We have visiting doppelgangers," MJ said, gesturing to the other three Peters.
Peter dropped to the ground and his mask receded, "All of you...are me? I mean...he looks just like me (Pointing to Peter Y), but you two are Peter Parker?"
"Remember that dream you had where Doctor Strange cast a spell that got messed up, and in the end a new one was cast so the whole world forgot you?" MJ reminded him. "Well, this is the idiot it happened to."
Peter gasped, "I thought it was just a dream..."
"Well, surprise, it wasn't," MJ replied.
Anya made some noises, so Peter went over to her.
Peter 3 gasped, "Dude, you and MJ have a baby?!"
Peter 2 smiled, "Congratulations."
"Thanks, this is Anya," Peter introduced his daughter as MJ kissed her head.
"My MJ and I have a daughter, as well," Peter 2 said. "Her name is Mayday."
May gave a knowing look, "A nickname for 'May'?"
"Well...sort of," Peter 2 shrugged.
"Guys, we've got a big problem!" Aaron's voice called out as he appeared through a portal provided by Madame Web.
"Who are you?" Peter Y, 2 and 3 questioned at the same time.
"Aaron Flynn, Spider-Man of Earth-325. This is Earth-1963." (2)
"Wait, I thought you said this was Earth-199?" MJ interjected.
"Yeah, sorry, I made a mistake there," Aaron said before pointing at Peter Y. "He's actually from Earth-199999. (Then he pointed at Peter 2) He's from Earth-96283, (Then he pointed at Peter 3) and Earth-120703."
"Aaron, hello?" Ned asked. "What's the problem?"
"Right, sorry," Aaron collected himself, then explained. "After I found the fragment on my Earth, Madame Web sent me to Earth-TRN577 to investigate something strange that she sensed from it. Once there, I saw that the Manhattan of that world was infested with vampires, like the book 'I Am Legend'."
"Whoa-whoa, wait," Peter 3 interrupted. "Vampires? Are you serious?"
"Oh, they exist," Peter said. "Maybe not on your Earth, but definitely on others."
"Anyway, I killed a good number them before the Spider-Man and Blade of that Earth showed up," Aaron continued.
"You killed?" Peter 2 questioned. "Spider-Man doesn't kill people."
"Are you gonna give the "No Killing" lecture on vampires?" MJ questioned in return. "Come on."
Peter 2 was about to argue, but... "Okay, good point."
"I escaped with them back to their base, and learned of their situation," Aaron continued. "Dracula, yes, he exists; had taken over half the planet. Spider-Man, called "Blood Spider", Blade, Whistler, Morbius, White Tiger, Power Man, Iron Fist, Deadpool, Wolverine and Nova were the only heroes left in New York."
"Jeez, that many left?" asked Peter 2.
"They found one of the fragments and discovered it could temporarily cure vampirism," Aaron said. "This was discovered when the Mary Jane of that Earth gave it to them, but she was already infected..."
"Oh, no..." MJ whispered sadly.
"Damn...so then what?" asked Peter 3.
"Thankfully, I thought using the fragment with one of Blade's UV lamps might work as a permanent solution," Aaron said. "And thanks to my highly scientific mind; it worked!"
"Leave it to Aaron to figure out something," MJ commented.
"After a hard-fought battle, we cured every vampire in the city," Aaron continued. "We even almost destroyed Dracula, but he escaped."
"Damn," Ned cursed. "But, you still won?"
"The battle on that Earth; yes. But not for us. Dracula had this new enforcer called "The Wolf", and he was tough. We thought he got cured, but turns out he was never a vampire to begin with! He was one of us; he called himself Wolf-Spider, and he was the one that Madame Web sensed!"
"An evil Spider-Man?!" Ned questioned.
"Hey, I was shocked, too," Aaron replied.
"But how did he get there?" Peter asked.
"He used an artifact called the Siege Perilous to travel dimensions," Aaron answered. "And now, he's going to destroy everything if we don't stop him."
"How?" May asked.
"He's been travelling the Spider-Verse, draining every Spider-Hero of their powers and life energy, which kills them. He's already gone to Earth-4, 13, 8351, 8101, and TRN450." (3)
"And I'm guessing he won't stop until he's gotten all of them?" asked Peter 2.
"Yeah," Aaron answered. "We managed to stop him from draining Blood Spider, but he got the fragment and escaped."
"What is this "Fragment" you keep mentioning?" Peter Y asked.
Madame Web appeared through one of her portals, "I can explain."
"Whoa, who are you?" May questioned.
"This is Madame Web," Aaron introduced. "She's a clairvoyant who can "see" across the Spider-Verse."
"This is the Tablet of Order and Chaos," she showed them the mostly fixed Tablet, but was still missing one piece. "Aaron attempted to stop a villain in his universe from stealing it, but accidently shattered it."
Aaron scratched the back of his head, sheepishly, "Yeah, my bad."
"Hold on," Peter Y spoke up. "Since Wolf-Spider has the last fragment; what's he gonna do with it?"
"He plans to combine it with the Siege, and drain every spider-hero in the multiverse without having to go to them," Web answered.
"But that would completely destroy the Spider-Verse!" Peter 2 exclaimed.
"It could also get a certain "Society" involved," Aaron muttered, looking at someone only he could see. AN: (Fourth Wall Break! XD) (4)
"So what are we gonna do?" asked Peter Y.
Aaron turned sharply to the open window that Peter Y had entered through, held up his left hand and fired a repulsor beam at it! A split-second after he did, some cloaked figure that was about to crash through the window got hit by the beam and knocked back!
"That's him!" Aaron exclaimed before jumping out the window as his mask materialized!
"Hey, wait for us!" called Peter 3 as he, Peter 2, and Peter Y jumped out after him.
"You be careful!" MJ told Peter as she tried to calm a fussy Anya down.
"Always," he told her before following the others. When he caught up, everyone was going into a swirling, blue-colored portal!
"What is THAT?!" Peter asked.
"That is a portal created by the Siege Perilous," Madame Web's voice spoke inside his mind.
Taking a deep breath, he went into it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a minute of falling through warping void, Peter went through another portal and found himself on some kind of wrecked aircraft carrier, but it looked a bit more advanced. Then he noticed SHIELD's logo in some places and realized this was actually a wrecked Helicarrier.
"Hey, you made it," Peter 3 greeted him.
Peter noticed him, Peter 2 and Peter Y...but no Aaron, or the mysterious Wolf-Spider.
"Where's Aaron?" asked Peter. "More than that; where are we?"
"I'm guessing, another Earth," Peter 2 answered. "Maybe Wolf-Spider's..."
Peter looked around more...and what he saw was horrible. All around him was what was left of Queens, which was barely anything. Brooklyn wasn't much better, but it looked like a slum area. Across the river, Manhattan was the most intact, but it was a warzone; explosions and shouting rang out from all over the island!
"Oh, my god..." Peter whispered in horror. "This is just terrible."
Another portal opened in the air above them, then something was thrown out of it!
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHRRRRGGGGHHHH-OOF!" The thrown person hit the metal floor, and it was Aaron!
"Aaron!" Peter cried as he ran up and helped him to his feet.
"You okay?" Peter 3 asked.
"Mostly," Aaron responded as he rubbed his jaw.
Another person came out of the portal and made a superhero-landing a few feet from the heroes. He wore a dark brown hooded cloak with no openings, a metal breather mask with red lenses, and brown/dark blue gauntlets.
"And this is?" Peter Y asked.
"That's Wolf-Spider," Aaron said.
Said villain chuckled, his voice sounding altered thanks to his mask,
"Five spiders, all in one place; it's almost TOO perfect."
"How did you know where I live?" Peter questioned.
Wolf-Spider held up a rectangular, red jewel in a gold tablet with spikes on its corners,
"The Siege Perilous doesn't just open doors to other dimensions..."
"It allows the one who holds it to see their counterparts across the multiverse," Aaron elaborated.
"Until this came to my world, I thought I was the only one with spider powers," Wolf-Spider stated. "Imagine my disappointment when I learned that the others are a bunch of sentimental fools! In my universe, anyone associated with the "Spider" moniker strikes fear into the hearts of anyone who hears it. But in every other universe, Spider-Man stands for justice, hope and heroism. "With great power comes great responsibility"? *blegh* Makes me sick."
"Guess you never loved anyone but yourself," Peter 3 responded.
"Of course I did, but they all rambled the same sympathetic garbage," Wolf-Spider said. "I destroyed everyone I knew that held such pathetic ideals! Ideals that bring you nothing but sorrow because of a sacrifice you think you have to make. Right, Peter?"
That questioned was directed at Peter Y, 2 and 3.
"Well?" he asked. "Am I wrong?!"
"Okay, first of all," Aaron interrupted. "That wasn't just a sacrifice; that was also him just being an idiot."
"Hey!" Peter Y exclaimed.
"Granted, a lot of Peter Parkers in the multiverse are pretty weak-willed," Aaron continued, then told the others. "I'm sorry, but it's true."
"Well soon, I'll be the only Peter Parker!"
All five Spideys had different reactions of shock/horror.
"You don't mean...?" Peter stammered.
Wolf-Spider removed his mask, revealing he looked just like Peter! Only his skin was gray, his hair was black, and his eyes were black with red pupils.
"Holy...!" Peter whispered in shock.
"Evil doppelganger..." Peter 3 commented.
"After I got my powers, I became everyone's worst nightmare," Wolf-Spider boasted. "And now, all the powers of the Spider-Verse will be mine!"
The Siege started to glow, but Aaron rushed the evil spider, faster than the others could've ever moved! Unfortunately, two big spider arms sprouted from Wolf-Spider's back, causing him to shed his cloak! He wore a dark gray suit with a red spider symbol on the front, and a belt buckle that looked like a wolf. Aaron grabbed the arms before they hit him!
"Okay, that's gross!" he commented.
Wolf-Spider put his mask back on, laughing, "Nice try, but did you think my absorbing the powers of those other spider-heroes wouldn't make me stronger? You're definitely faster than them, but not nearly as fast as me!"
"Why don't you test that against all of us?!" Peter challenged as he and the rest swung toward them!
"Tempting, but hardly fair," Wolf used the Siege to create a red-colored portal, and what came out of it was a green-skinned monster as big as the Hulk! A pair of torn blue pants was the only clothing it wore, it had menacing orange/red eyes, pointy ears, fangs, claws, horns on its head, and spikes on its shoulders!
"What in hellfire?" Peter 3 gasped.
"What is that?!" asked Peter in shock.
"That's Norman Osborn of Earth-1610A!" Aaron answered. "He used a formula called Oz to turn himself into that Goblin monster!"
"That's Mr. Osborn?!" Peter 2 questioned.
"But he's nothing like yours," Wolf added. "There's no split personality, just pure malice!"
"I just evolved beyond mortal men," Goblin/Norman stated, his voice sounding like a monster's.
"My god...!" Peter whispered in horror.
Suddenly, his, Peter Y and 3's spider-senses warned them of incoming trouble! They moved to avoid whatever it was, but Peter 2 wasn't so lucky since his sense didn't warn him! Black webs wrapped around his neck and yanked him backwards till he was slammed into the metal floor!
"Hey Parker," A cocky, familiar voice hissed at him.
The voice belonged to someone that looked like Venom, only...smaller. He was taller, had the same eyes and large white spider on his chest and back, and the scary face with a mouth full of fangs. But he was like a more twisted version of Spidey's black suit, even trying to imitate the web patterns on the upper body, arms, hands and feet.
"Venom...!" Peter 2 whispered in horror.
"Huh... I like that name," He boasted. "So where the hell are we? I was looking for Flint Marko to talk him into teaming up to kill you, and next thing I know; I'm here."
He quickly turned and caught a web-shot at the back of his head, courtesy of Peter 3...but this made him more confused as his face..."unwrapped" revealing a Caucasian male with dirty-blonde hair and hazel-colored eyes, "How the hell are there two of you?"
"Wow, I don't know what's worse; the ugly face with the big maw of teeth, or that face," Peter 3 quipped.
Venom chuckled sarcastically as he looked around, seeing Peter, Peter Y, Goblin, and Aaron still in a strength struggle against Wolf,
"Five Parkers?"
"Not me!" Aaron chimed in. "My name isn't Peter Parker, Eddie!"
"Eddie? Eddie Brock?" Peter questioned. "Wow, you're a lot smaller than the Eddie Brock I know!"
"Oh, I see," Goblin stated, sounding thrilled. "So the Multiverse Theory is true, this is a Parallel world, and you're all from other worlds."
Peter 3 slow clapped, "Well done Norman, really."
"What a treat, huh?!" Wolf proposed to his fellow villains. "So many spiders to kill!"
"Hold on, you're one too," Venom pointed out.
"I may be a Parker with spider powers, but don't lump me in with these "heroes"!" Wolf spat as two more spider arms came out of his lower back to knock Aaron away, but he used some body coordination and reflexes to dodge them and get some distance from him! He also managed to swipe the Siege from Wolf's belt when he wasn't looking.
"After I got my powers, I became the kind of spider that everyone on my world fears!"
Goblin laughed, "My kind of spider!"
The symbiote engulfed Eddie's face again, but then a loud guitar strum echoed out of nowhere, causing Venom to clutch his head in pain and the symbiote started to go crazy!
The other Spideys covered their ears too, though it wasn't as bad for them.
"Where'd that come from?!" Peter Y questioned.
"Oi, oi!" A male British voice called out, before someone kicked Venom away from Peter 2 after web-swinging in! Said new Spider-Man proceeded to pull an electric guitar from his back and rocked on it for a bit!
"Whoa, a punk rock Spider-Man?!" Peter questioned.
"That's actually pretty cool!" Peter 3 exclaimed.
"HOBIE, MY GUY!" Aaron shouted.
Hobie's costume consisted of the traditional Spider-Man mask, except with eight long metal spikes creating a mohawk on his head. He wore a black leather vest with three spikes on each shoulder, some bedazzled metal around the pockets and the top line of the back, and a spider insignia on the back that had the letters "FMNS" in a clockwise circle. Under the vest, he wore a torn blue shirt over a red shirt that went all the way to his hands, which had blue lines around them up to his elbows. He wore black pants and a pair of long red boots with blue laces. He also wore a punk rock cuff on his left wrist, one on his right bicep, two punk rock belts, a choker, and some blue-colored suspenders hanging from the back of his pants.
He carried a red Gibson Les Paul electric guitar covered in graffiti stickers, with a blue guitar strap.
"What up, Aaron?! Big stepper! Yeah, mate!" Hobie greeted Aaron as they got into a bro-fist/hand-slap kinda routine.
"What's he saying?" Peter 2 questioned, not understanding British slang.
"It's English for "We get along great, and we're close friends"," Aaron translated.
"Another one?!" Wolf questioned. "How did you-?!" He checked his belt and saw that the Siege was gone.
Goblin growled and charged, only for several web-balls to hit his face, temporarily blinding him! Something then kicked him in the head, then something made of metal rammed into him and threw him!
"AAAARGH!" Goblin screamed as he was sent flying!
Wolf growled in frustration at the ones that hit Goblin.
One of them, judging their body-shape was a female, who wore a full-body suit. It was mostly black (The material looked like armor-mesh) from the stomach to the lower half, with edges coming to points at the breasts. The top half was white, had a hood with the interior lining being magenta with cyan web patterns, matching magenta-and-cyan designs on her under arms, and cyan soles on her boots. Her mask was white with magenta eye-rims, which were emotive. (5)
The other was...a robot? It was red, dark gray, and had a few yellow parts. The head slightly resembled a monkey, but the yellow eyes were like that of a spider-hero.
"Nice one, Gwen!" Aaron cheered, his hand over Hobie's shoulder and vice-versa.
"Wicked toss, Peni!" The punk-rocker exclaimed as well.
"Thanks, Hobie!" the robot said as it opened up, revealing a young girl in a Japanese schoolgirl uniform!
"Did you say Gwen?" Peter 3 questioned, sounding shocked.
The girl in white took off her mask, revealing the face of the Gwen Stacy that Peter knew. She had short blond hair in a bob style, and a piercing around her right eyebrow. Seeing her face, Peter 3 slumped a little.
"Sorry," she apologized. "I'm guessing I don't look like your Gwen."
"You look like mine," Peter chimed in. "We're not dating or anything, just...just saying!"
Venom recovered and grunted in frustration, "Enough interruptions!"
Just before he could pounce again, he dodged several web-balls and...bullets?! But then his hands and head were caught in blue-colored webs! Even though his sixth-sense warned him about it, he wasn't able to dodge it!
The webs belonged to the Spider-Man of 2099, who tackled the symbiote! The bullets came from Spider-Man Noir, who was holding a revolver!
"Bullocks!" Hobie cursed.
"Different Miguel," Aaron told him. "The one who sucks is from 928B."
"Oh, right, mate," Hobie replied. "Thanks."
Wolf's spider-sense warned of incoming danger and used his reflexes to dodge...empty air? He couldn't see what he was dodging, but he trusted his instincts. Until whatever invisible enemy was attacking zapped him with light-blue electricity, not only causing great pain, but also stunning him!
Then he was kicked in the back of the head, slamming him to the metal floor!
"Tag!" Exclaimed whoever hit him! It was another Spider-Man, and another appeared next to him out of thin air!
The first one wore a costume based on athletic wear and compression clothing. The suit had a pronounced red and blue color scheme, and it featured a large white spider on the chest instead of the traditional small black. The spider had long legs and ends at the thin blue piping of the suit. There was a similar white spider on the back. The shoes were modernized, now featuring a sneaker-style design instead of knee-high boots. The suit's lenses had fades around the edges, and white hand patches that extended up to the suit's wrists. (Peter 4)
The second one's suit had a red and black color scheme. It was predominantly black in color, but utilized red for its spider insignia across the chest alongside a V-shape stretching from the groin up to the shoulders and down the arms to the wrists. The web outlines throughout the suit's torso and mask area were colored red against the black. The back of the fingers and hands were red. Elsewhere on the suit, the black coloring persisted, transitioning to matt coloring on the legs and feet, which also had the sneaker-design. There were also knee pads embedded into the suit for shock absorption. The only part of the suit that differed in the color scheme were the eye lenses, which were a faded white.
"Hope we're not late!" exclaimed Miles Morales.
Goblin got the webs off his face, but then something heavy was dropped on his head! An...anvil?
Everyone (Except Hobie and Peni) gawked at the random absurdity of such an item appearing, only for something small to walk up behind Goblin, cleaning his hands. It was a cartoon anthropomorphic pig wearing a Spider-Man suit. He had four-fingered hands instead of hooves, except for his feet. His ears could still be seen, and strangely, the shape of his nostrils seemed to match whatever expression his eyes were making. (Ham)
"Are you KIDDING me?!" Wolf Spider questioned. "A PIG?!"
Goblin laughed at him as he tossed the anvil, "What are you? Some kind of cartoon?"
"You got a problem with cartoons?" Spider-Ham retorted, before knocking him back with an iron beam! As he was sent flying, another spider-hero kicked him down to the metal floor with a loud "SLAM"! This new arrival was a female who wore a traditional red and blue costume, although the blue was darker. The black spider on the chest was larger and the legs went over her shoulders and down to her hips. The red parts ended at the shoulders, with the arms being completely blue. The index fingers, pinkies and thumbs were red, while the middle and ring fingers were blue. She wore her web shooters on her wrists, and the boots were half red on the outer leg.
"What the hell is this?" Mayday questioned.
"Fight now, talk later," Aaron responded. "Gameplan; Peter, Gwen and I will take Wolf-Spider. Peter 2, Peter 3, Peter Y, Noir, Miguel, Hobie, Peter 4, Miles, Ham and Mayday, you take care of Goblin."
"Doesn't it seem like overkill for all of us to go up against one goblin monster?" Peter Y asked.
"You don't know how powerful he is," Aaron remarked.
"What about Eddie?" Peter 2 asked.
That questioned was answered by some black tentacles grabbing Venom's face and yanking him back into the grip of the Venom Peter knew!
AN: (I decided that Tom Hardy's Venom would evolve into his look from Marvel's Spider-Man 2!)
"Are you supposed to be us?" The other, larger Venom questioned. "Puny!"
"Well, you know, they say big things come in small packages," Eddie said before he punched Giant Venom in the face!
He fell back a little, "That was your last mistake."
He got back to his feet and charged Eddie, taking them inside the wrecked Helicarrier!
"Great, another Venom!" Peter 4 lamented.
"That's the one from my Earth, but he's a friend," Peter assured him.
"So, that Goblin monster, what should we expect?" Noir asked.
"The usual powerhouse abilities," Aaron answered. "Strength, leaping, speed, reflexes, agility, durability, stamina and regeneration. He can also generate fire, throw it and absorb other fire to make himself stronger."
"Guess that means no flamethrowers," Ham commented.
"Alright guys, go!" All the Spideys leapt into action!
Wolf-Spider chuckled before going into the Helicarrier's tower, with Peter, Aaron and Gwen web-zipping after him! Goblin gathered fire into his hands as Peter 2, Peter 3, Peter Y, Noir, Miguel, Hobie, Peter 4, Miles, Peni, Ham and Mayday rushed at him from all sides!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Venom (Hardy) and Venom 2 (Topher Grace) crashed through a wall! The larger symbiote turned his left hand into a large axe and swung down to slice the smaller one in half, but he avoided it, so Venom webbed his foe in the face and threw him down the hallway they were in!
"Had enough, yet?!" asked Venom, only to be struck when a piece of rubble went flying at him and slammed him into a wall, which crumbled on impact!
"I don't get you," Venom 2 said before receding his face. "We should be working together to kill both of our Parkers!"
Half of Venom's face opened to reveal the other Eddie Brock, "Why? I only met my Parker recently, and unlike you; we don't have a misguided grudge against him."
"Then you don't really know what you're in for, do you?" questioned Venom 2.
Venom rammed his large fists into the floor, creating a trail spikes from his tentacles! Venom 2 jumped onto the wall to avoid them, but they followed him, so he just kept jumping away until they stopped!
Venom fired a barrage of black web-balls at him, which he maneuvered around, but then grabbed the smaller one's head and slammed him into a wall! Venom grabbed Venom 2 by his leg, slammed him into the floor a few times, then threw him down the hallway!
"Stay down," Venom said as he approached his doppelganger.
Venom 2 struggled to get up, only for his larger counterpart to kick him down again!
"We won't help you, Edward Brock Jr., because we're nothing like you," Venom said before picking him up by his chest, then clawed at his head, tearing the symbiote off of him! The symbiote then let out a loud, unearthly shriek of pain as it writhed about in Venom's hand...right before he crushed it.
"NO, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Eddie Jr. yelled in protest.
Venom's face split in half, revealing Eddie's, "Man shut up! Don't act like you're a victim! You think Peter Parker ruined your life? No, you did that all on your own-"
"Spare me the lecture!" Eddie Jr. exclaimed, spitting at him.
Eddie scowled at his doppelganger in disgust before Venom's face covered him again,
"Fuck this guy!"
He then bit Eddie Jr.'s head off!
"Piece of shit," Eddie muttered in Venom's head as he tossed the body away like trash.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peni, in her robot, punched Goblin in the face, then picked him up and threw him! Peter 2 did a ground-slam attack to his stomach, sending him to the ground, hard! As Goblin got up, Miguel rushed by him and scratched his eyes with his claws!
"AAAAAGH!" Goblin screamed as he held his face. "DAMN YOU!"
Peter 4 landed a combo of attacks with some grey/white mechanical spider arms coming from the back of his suit! They barely did any damage though, since Goblin knocked him away with a swing of his massive arm! They all landed in haphazard heaps, down, but not out of the fight just yet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter swung-kicked Wolf in the chest, but it didn't even faze him! Instead, Peter actually bounced off of him!
"Whoa, he's stronger than he looks!"
"How's that possible?" Gwen asked.
"Do you really think my absorbing the life-force of other Spiders wouldn't make me stronger?" Wolf questioned rhetorically, then took off his mask and spat a large blob of green slime!
Peter, Gwen and Aaron's spider-senses warned them to avoid it! When the glob hit a metal beam behind them, it began to melt!
"You stealing Scorpion's gimmick?" Aaron questioned before he fired a web-ball! Wolf blocked it with one of his spider-arms, grabbed a hunk of machinery with another arm and threw it! Aaron just avoided getting hit by web-zipping out of the way! Gwen fired several webs at Wolf as she maneuvered around, which he blocked with his spider-arms, except the ones on his lower back which were now webbed to the ground. He pulled them free and knocked Gwen out of the air with a web-ball, then spat some venom at her!
"GWEN!" Peter screamed as he rushed over to save her, even if it meant he would melt...but Aaron beat him to it!
He jumped between the venom and her, grabbed her and jumped away, right after he got hit! The acid melted a good bit of the back of his suit, but luckily, not all of it!
"Aaron!" Gwen cried in worry.
He winced a bit as he freed her from the webs, "I'll be fine. My suit's material is versatile, but you and Peter need to manage without me for a bit."
Wolf jumped at them, trying to stab them with one of his spider-arms, but they backflipped away to dodge! Peter vaulted forward, deliver two kicks to Wolf's chest and face, then backflipped away to fire some web-balls! Wolf blocked them with a spider-arm, then blocked a punch from Gwen with another arm, only for her to maneuver over him and kick him in the back of his head! He then shot webs at the two heroes and threw them into some scattered junk!
Wolf went over to a still stunned Aaron, ready to kill him,
"I believe you have something of mine."
He lunged a spider-arm to impale him, but two arms grabbed it, stopping it!
"Kinda taking the spider-aspects literal, huh?" The owner of the arms quipped before kicking Wolf in the face, knocking him back!
The one who kicked him was ANOTHER Spider-Man! This one's costume followed the blue and red color scheme of most of the others. The body, head, outer arms, upper hip, and knee-high boots were red while the inner arms, upper legs, and outer torso were matt blue. The colors were in a bright tone, especially among the red coloring. The eye lenses were wide, black on the outline and white in the middle. The spider insignia was small, fist-sized, and centered just above the chest. At the back, there was another spider insignia but instead of black, it's red and big. The web-shooters were located in the wrists. The boots were also slightly below the knee, with black outlining covering them and the feet. The black outlining in particular resembled a spider's web, especially on the mask area and the torso. These outlines split the suit into rectangle segments, which were especially visible on the torso area, neck and shoulders. (The original Spider-Man of Earth-616!)
The two charged at each other, then Wolf shot one of his spider-arms out to stab Peter 616, but he did a spin-flip to avoid it, then grabbed it to maneuver around another arm that tried to stab him, then used the arm to throw Wolf into the wall! He grunted as he pulled himself out of the indent, only to be kicked away by Gwen! Wolf skidded along the floor till he used his spider-arms to stop, then his spider-sense warned of an incoming attack...too late, as Peter swung a large pipe to blow him away!
Aaron, his suit now fully repaired, launched at Wolf, delivered a strong uppercut that sent him up, then used his webs to yank him down to slam into the ground! Wolf tried to stab him with a spider-arm, but Aron grabbed it and ripped it in half!
"AAAAAAGH!" Wolf screamed in pain. "DAMN YOU!"
He tried to stab him with the other arms, but Peter, Gwen, and Peter 616 held them back, then Aaron and Wolf got into a hand-lock; the four heroes in a struggle of strength against the villain!
But then, Wolf smirked, "Can you dodge if you're THIS close?"
He got ready to spit more acid, but a large black tendril engulfed his face!
"I don't think so!" Venom shouted before he hurled Wolf through the air and slammed him into some debris!
"Venom?!" Peter 616 exclaimed in shock.
"Don't worry, he's a friend," Peter assured him.
"Okay everyone," Aaron started. "Whatever he does; let it happen. Wolf-Spider is too dangerous to leave alive."
As soon as he said this, the brutal beatdown began with Venom leaping in and landing right on top of Wolf-Spider in a crushing blow. Wolf stabbed him with a spider-arm, but this didn't even phase the massive symbiote. Instead, he pulled it out and threw him into a wall! Wolf tried his acid spit, but that didn't affect him either.
"I planned ahead, Wolf," Aaron said. "I didn't just bring Venom here to deal with his counterpart from Peter-Two's Earth; I also brought him here to finish you. We just softened you up."
Wolf grunted in frustration as Venom picked him up by his head.
"You probably don't taste very good," Venom stated. "So, we won't eat you. But you're not walking away."
He then crushed Wolf-Spider's head until it burst in an explosion of blood and brain-matter! Peter, Gwen and Peter 616 looked away, groaning.
"That was a lot," Gwen commented.
Venom tossed the body aside, "Let's see if the others need help."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miles delivered a couple venom-charged punches to Goblin's chest, but they barely phased him! He caught Miles' next punch, punched him back, then knocked him away with a fireball! Goblin was then hit in the back by a rocket, courtesy of Ham!
"Hey Gobbie, eat this!" he taunted before firing more rockets at him!
Goblin charged at him as the rockets hit him, but didn't even faze him! Ham jumped back and hit him in the face with the launcher, which broke on impact! Goblin grabbed him and started to generate fire into his hands, only to be hit by a venom-electric punch from Miles!
"No roast pork, today!
Mayday jumped onto Goblin's back and started choking him with a webline! But then her spider-sense warned her to get away, so she did, just before Goblin lit his back on fire! Noir aimed his gun with pin-point accuracy and shot him in the right eye! Goblin clutched his eye in pain for a bit, before rushing at the 1930s Spider-Man, grabbing him in a one-handed chokehold and dragging him along the floor! Peter 2 and Peter 3 jumped at him, but he caught them in his large hands, digging his claws into their flesh. As they grunted in pain, Goblin started to ignite his hands to roast them alive, but Miguel rushed by, slashing his back with claws! This made Goblin drop his captors, and Miguel followed up with claw scratches, and slashes with the blades on his arms! Goblin anticipated the next one and dodged it, then back handed Miguel into a wrecked jet!
Peter 4 fired some electric bolts from the spider-arms in his suit at Goblin, then Miles added in some venom Chain Lightning! Peni delivered a couple punches to his abdomen, only to be slammed into the ground, punched and thrown! Her mech suffered some damage, since it was now sparking.
Goblin threw a fireball at Peter 4, which he didn't dodge in time! Miles attempted to Venom Dash Goblin, but he caught him and threw him into Peter 4! Peter Y and Hobie delivered a double-uppercut to his jaw, knocking him back!
"Bloody hell, he's tough!" Hobie exclaimed.
"Yeah, but maybe we can tire him out!" Peter 4 suggested.
"I have a better idea," Miguel held up a steel rod.
"Let me guess; stab him the eye with that, then this kid zaps it like a lightning rod?" Noir asked, gesturing to Miles.
"Basically, yes."
"Hang on," Peter 2 interjected. "Won't that kill him?"
"This Goblin survived many things that would kill a regular person," Miguel stated. "I doubt this will be any different."
"He's got a point there," Peter 4 said. "Unless someone else has any other suggestions!"
Goblin launched a fire blast at them, making everyone scatter!
"Oi-oi!" Hobie called out to distract him, then dodged some fire balls! Miguel rushed by Goblin, slashed him in the chest, jumped up and stabbed him in the eye...or at least, he tried to...
Goblin caught it before it made impact, and he was physically stronger than the futuristic Spider-Man! Peter 2 and Peter 3 both delivered kicks to the back of Goblin's knees, causing them to buckle! Then Hobie, Mayday, Peter 4 and Noir all slammed into his back, pushing him down more, followed by Ham slamming his head with giant metal mallet! This finally gave Miguel the chance to stab the steel rob into Goblin's left eye!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!" Goblin screamed as he stumbled back.
Miles shot a venom-blast at the steel rod, charging it like a lightning rob, electrocuting the monstrous Osborn from the inside! Eventually, he collapsed to the floor, but managed to pull the steel rob from his eye, before reverting to his human form.
"You think you've won?" Norman questioned. "That didn't kill me...nothing can..."
"Maybe," Aaron's voice called out as he, Peter, Gwen, Peter 616 and Venom approached. "But not even you could survive...him."
A chain suddenly wrapped around Norman's torso and pulled him back! The one that pulled him back was 6'2, wore a black leather motorcycle jacket, and olive-green shirt, motorcycle pants, shoes and gloves. But the most noticeable feature was that this...person was a flaming skeleton!
"That's...awesome, but terrifying," Peter 4 commented.
"Wicked," Hobie stated.
"Why'd you bring Ghost Rider here?" Peter 616 asked Aaron.
"To deal with Osborn."
Ghost Rider lifted Norman into the air, "Norman Osborn of Earth-1610, your sins are innumerable. I am here to reap vengeance upon your soul!"
He gripped Norman's head, tightly, brought him to his knees and forced him to look into his empty eye sockets, which became swirls of fire!
"No-no-no-no-NO-NOOOOOOOOOO!" Norman screamed in horror as some kind of black mist came out of his body and into Ghost Rider's mouth!
"What...did he just do...?!" asked Peter 3.
"He forced Osborn to see and feel every bit of pain he's caused in his entire life," Aaron answered. "And...destroyed his soul."
"...Oh, dear god...!" Peter Y whispered in horror.
Ghost Rider threw Norman's body away, then vanished through a portal of fire.
"Bro, that was like how Scorpion from Mortal Kombat disappeared!" Miles commented.
Peni limped over in her slightly damaged mech, "So, did we win?"
"Looks like we did," Peter said.
Most of them breathed sighs of relief, then Madame Web appeared,
"Well done, Spiders."
"So, who's hungry?" Aaron asked randomly. "Any of you tried shawarma? That was our victory lunch after The Avengers were formed and we beat the Chitauri. But, if any of you don't eat meat, there's Chinese."
"...I could eat," Peter spoke up as he raised his hand.
Everyone else raised their hands as well, some more reluctantly than the rest.
1. That's a quote from Mary Jane in the Ultimate Comics. I always loved it; calling Peter out on his biggest character flaw.
2. Yeah, I changed the Earth designation. 1963 inspired by the year Spider-Man first appeared!
3. Old Man Spider/ Ezekiel Sims (Earth-4), Captain Universe/ Peter Parker (Earth-13), Spider-Assassin/ Peter Parker (Earth-8351), Spider-Monkey (Earth-8101), Patton Parnell (Earth-TRN450).
4. Reference to The Spider Society.
5. This isn't the Gwen from the Spider-Verse movies.
I hope everyone liked my villain choices!
I thought Wolf-Spider from the Ultimate cartoon was an interesting villain. I version of Peter Parker that chose to be evil instead of becoming evil after losing his mind. And Green Goblin in the Ultimate Comics was a monster!
I especially loved the two movie versions of Venom duking it out, and I always thought Topher Grace would get utterly destroyed!
Sorry to everyone who was hoping to see Sony Miles Morales, but I didn't think he'd work after the events of Across the Spider-Verse. Also why the Miguel O'Hara in this event is different from the movie.
This whole thing turned out to be longer than I thought, so ONE more part!
Read and review, please!
