BOOM!
I jumped away from the missle, running straight for the football field. I had no choice I had to get these things away form the
school.
Suddenly one of the five robots landed before me, all it's missiles armed and ready, "destroy," it spoke, firing all ten missiles at
me.
"Shield of Sharum!" I cried out, forming the circular shield in front of me before bracing for impact.
BOOM!
The explosion sent me flying off my feet and threw the air. I managed to gain my balance back quickly, landing a crotch, but
just then my spider sense flared, warning me of something approaching me from back.
I jumped into the air, just as the missile flew past where I was. It flew straight ahead at the Doombot that blocked my way,
exploding on impact.
BOOM!
I landed on the ground, one down, four to go. I was about to move when I felt my spidey senses go off again, but before I
could move a robot managed to grab me from behind.
"Initialising self destruct sequence," I muttered casuhally.
"Fuck no!" I flexed my muscles, my superior strength allowed me to break out of the robot's grapes. I then turned around and
grabbed it and threw it into the air, right at an approaching Doom bot.
BOOM!
Both of them exploded at once. Three down, two to- spider senses, I jumped, avoiding the another missile before landing on
the school flag pole. The resulting explosion shock the base, the pole began to shake before slowly falling down.
The robots came flying at me, I jumped down and grabbed the pole, holding it up before lifting ti and using it as a bat to hit
one bot into the other.
They went flying away, I planted the pole into the ground before running away, covering a lot of ground while the robots were
down.
I managed to make it into an alleyway, my breathing running fast. I quickly scaled a building wall and began hopping from
rooftop to rooftop, slowly getting as far away as I could from the school.
I quickly found a roof with a elevator shed on top. I broke inside and closed the door behind me. The sound of the elevator's
machnerary was loud, this thing must have been built in the 70's or something. I knew the noise would mask me, those bots
didn't look very smart.
Immediately I felt my phone ring, I looked, it was Fury. I sighed and cut the call, immediately he called again. I cut him off again
and began to text instead;

You: Can this wait? I'm running away from robots the man you pardoned made.
Fury: Are you alright? Where are you? We'll come pick you up.
You: Oh really? Are you going to gift wrap me to Doom?
Fury: Kid, now is not the time! You're in danger, we need to pull you out.
You: You want to help? Get my family to safety, May and Ben, I'm sure Richard is already safe with whatever lab you guys have
him working at. I'll take care of myself.
Fury: Peter you can't! Don't you get it? The secret is out! You're in more danger now than you ever was! No amount of covering
up can make this better! There's already a video of you fighting Doom's robot as Peter Parker!
You: No offence Fury, but SHEILD is the last place I would feel safe. Get my family to safety, I can take care of myself. Spider
out.
I then put the phone on silent and looked outside, no sign of any Doom bots, good. I touched my right breast pocket on my
suit and whispered, "activate Spider-mode," the suit shimmered as it changed from my civilians clothes to my suit.
I stepped out and swung into the city, but even though I searched far and wide, the robots weren't there. I landed on a building
across school and hide in the shadows, watching what was happening.
The police had arrived and were currently calming students down, most were ushered back inside while the remains of the
robots I destroyed were littered out on the campus grounds.
Immediately I called MJ. The phone rang once, she picked up. "Where are you? Are you safe? Did you escape alright?" she asked
in a hushed tone.
"I'm fine," I told her, "what about everyone else? Did they get hurt?"
"No they're-"
"-Peter," Harry voice came through, "where are you?"
"I'm safe," I replied. I heard a lot of noise in the background, MJ and Liz yelling at Harry, but he seemed to ignore them.
"Is it true?" Harry asked, "are you Spider-man?"
I was silent, I couldn't lie, he was just asking as a way to tell where we stood. I sighed, "not the time Harry."
"Then when is the damn time!" Harry cried out, "how could you hide something like this?!"
I snorted, "you're one to talk, Glider."
Harry gasped n the other end, "h-how did you know?"
"I'm a smart person, how do you think?" I snorted, "listen, I have to hide for a while...if you're serious about being the hero this
city deserves then while I'm gone it's your job to make sure everything stays in one piece, do you understand?"
"I-I...yes, I do."
"Good. Tell MJ and Liz I'm sorry. And keep an eye on them. Doom might target them...make sure they're safe Harry. Please."
Without waiting for a response I hung up and shut off my phone.
I took off, swing away into the city. I need time to think… Doom declared war on me, he targeted innocent children, just to kill
me. But I'm not his only target, the FF, I need to make sure they're safe from whatever he has planned for them.
I swung into the city, going as fast as I could. I saw the Baxter building in the distance, smoke coming out of ti's windows. I
cursed and swung into the lounge, flying through the broken doors and landing in a squat in the middle of what looked like a
war zone.
Boom!
The entire building began to shake, I felt it move just a little. There was a flash of light outside, I turned and ran to the window
seeing a green hue surrounding the building. And flying overhead the building was a giant green circle.
I cursed, magic. I couldn't identify the spell but the amount of energy it gave out, I could tell it meant business.
"Spider! Move!" I turned around to see a half broken Doom bot flying right at. I ducked, the robot flew through the window and
into the barrier, exploding the moment it touches the green light. It's parts went all over the place, but the barrier was in one
piece.
I turned around to see Johnny, Sue and Reed approach me, each looking worse for wear. "What happened?!" I asked them.
"Doom," Johnny spat, "he spent a drone army at us. That right there was the last one."
"It was a distraction," Reed's eyes widened as he ran out and looked up, "it looks like those magic circles Peter can make," he
turned to me, "do you know what it can do?"
I shook my head, "no, I think it's a barrier, but I don't know...oh my God! He's trapped us in here! It's a trap!"
Suddenly the TV came on, Doom was displayed on the screen, he stood on top of a building overlooking a small rural town, his
armour was different, more streamlined. He looked like his drones, as if someone had ripped off Tony's Mark 42 armour and
had painted it green and silver with a hexagonal chest piece. God, not only is he tacky but he's also super unoriginal.
"Richards," he spoke before looking around and noticing the rest of us, "ah...so you all survived. You as well Peter...I'm
impressed. I thought for sure you would have been caught off gaurd. Did you like that little present? I thought it would be
fitting I end your career with the same method you made famous. Twitter truly is a dangerous thing."
I growled, "yeah, it is. But you just made one mistake."
"Oh? And what's that?" he asked.
"You destroyed my civilian life Doom, meaning now I can focus all my attention on you," I spat.
"Maybe...for however long that is," he turned to Reed, "I'm sure you recognize this place, don't you Reed?"
The man looked horrified, "t-that's my home."
"Yes. It was here where you first had the idea of traveling through the dimensional barrier. Here where the plan that would lead
to my accession into Godhood. This place will be the only reminder of your actions Reed Richards...that is, after your death.
Good bye forever Richards...Sue, I'm sorry."
His face vanished and in its place was a two minute countdown. Immediately my spider sense went off.
"We need to get out of here!" I yelled, "he probably has the entire building rigged to blow!"
"We can't!" Sue cried out, "there are people working on the floors below!"
"We need to find that bomb!" Reed cried out, "Sue, can you turn the walls invisible?"
Sue nodded, "yes," she immediately ran to the wall and began to push her powers outwards. She closed her eyes and focused.
Slowly the walls began to shit, become transparents, displaying the wires and layers behind the surface.
She kept pushing, slowly sweat began to pour down her face. Slowly her own body began to go invisible, Johnny tred to speak
up but Reed stopped him, not wanting to distract Sue.
And then, in the edge of my vision, I saw something odd. "There!" I pointed at the floor below the couch, a green box around
three feet long and two feet deep, and on its face, a digital timer.
"Gah..." Sue gasped in pain as she dropped her arms and fell to the ground, only for Johnny to catch her in the last minute,
making sure his sister was unharmed.
I ran over and released my stingers, showing them into the ground and pulling out the tiles, revealing the bomb underneath. I
grabbed it and pulled it out, I looked it over, but the design made no sense!
"I can't figure it out!" I hissed.
"Give me," Reed hissed as he grabbed the box from my hand and broke the cover to reveal several wires. He began to sweet as
he tinkered with the settings.
I knew he wouldn't make it, I knew Doom wouldn't make it so simple. So we needed a back up plan. Twenty seconds left andpocket dimension!
"Give it!" I grabbed the bomb and ran away.
"Peter no!" Sue cried out as they followed me into my lab.
I kicked in the door and ran inside. I went to the shelf on the far end of the room and grabbed a spare bag of infinite storage I
had made for beta testing the magic before applying it to my car and the new suit. It was around the size of a normal school
bag, perfect.
I shoved the bomb into the bag, the bomb falling inside the pocket dimension for infinity, landing at the 'bottom'. I then
grabbed my original bag of infinite storage and threw this bag into that. And then, the timer hit zero.
We all flinched and waited, but nothing happened the bag was unharmed. I opened my bag and looked inside, spotting the
other bag immediately. I reached in and pulled it out. It had been burnt, it's material reduced to ash, leaving only a few patches
behind.
I gave a sigh of relief, leaning back, "oh that was way too close."
"Damn straight," Johnny gasped as he sat his sister down on my chair while he leaned on my desk, "how did you know it would
work?"
"It's a bag of infinite storage," I told Johnny, "it's its own pocket dimension. It has infinite space for the bomb to explode in."
"That was some quickly thinking," Sue nodded, "you just saved us all...again...this is becoming a habit with you huh?"
Reed nodded, "yeah...it is," he looked at me with something akin to hate, before he looked away, "the barrier, it's down," we all
looked outside and sure enough the green barrier was gone, "we need to move, Doom is not far, we can still catch him."
"No," I spoke up, Reed stopped walking towards the door.
He slowly turned around, "no?"
I nodded, "no. It's clearly a trap."
"Ah dude, he just tried to kill us, why would he make another trap?" Johnny asked.
"Because he's fucking clever," I hissed, "come on, you guys know Doom, you know the type of shit he gets into. Do you really
think he would ever kill us with a fucking bomb?! Come on! He wants to be the one to do it! He wasn't to look into our eyes
when he does it! Not this! It's clearly a trap!"
"And?!" Reed cried out, "and what if it is?! He's in my hometown Peter! As long as he's in there he's holding the entire town
hostage!"
"Exactly! Would Doom really do that?! He's a lot of things, but he isn't a fucking psychopath! He wasn't to be seen as a
benevolent God! Not a mass murderer!" I hissed, "think Reed! He wants us! If we go there, we're walking right into his hands!"
"And if we don't, we let him get away!" Reed yelled right back.
"So what if he does?!" I asked, "he's already lost everything! When he came after us the second time he broke the deal he
signed with SHIELD, as of right now, he's on their shit list as well! We can use this Reed, this is a chance for us to take him down
once and for all. But if you run out there like a monkey after a banana, then he wins!"
Reed and I stared each other down, his anger clearly written on his face. He spat, "if you want to hide like a coward, then go
right ahead," he turned around and walked out.
"Reed!" Sue cied out. We all immediately went after him. We follow him to his lab where he approached a large object hidden
under a white sheet. "Reed, what is that?" Sue asked.
In response the man grabbed the sheet and pulled it off revealing a shining new silver mobile with four separate pods attached
together in a diamond formation On it's side the logo for the FF shined brightly.
"It' the Fantastic car," Reed replied as he jumped into the lead and started the engines, "I finally had enough time to build this
damn thing….I'm going to stop Doom, with or without you."
Sue looked at me and sighed, "I'm sorry Peter...but Reed's right. Even if it is a trap, we have to stop Doom before he hurts
anyone again."
"Are you crazy?!" I cried out, "he's not going to do that!"
"No offence man, but you don't know that," Johnny replied as he and Sue got into the car, sitting in their individual seats.
"Opening hangar doors," Reed called out as he flicked a switch causing the entire far wall of his lab to open up, showing the
city skyline before them. He turned to me, "stay here Peter...this is our fight."
And without another word, they took off, leaving me behind in their dust. I clenched my fists. For supposedly the smartest men
and woman in the world they were a bunch of fools. Don't they see this is a trap? Doom expected us to live!
"ARGH!" I smashed my hands into the wall, breaking it open. I sighed, I have such fools for friends...damn it, I didn't want to do
this but...it would seem I have no choice.
I turned around and walked back into my lab. I took off my helmet and threw it on my table, "Sexy...initiate the Black Spider
protocol."
"Are you sure Spider?" Sexy asked,
I nodded, "yeah, it's time," I touched my arc reactor causing the suit to shimmer and return to it's pale white form. I quickly
shimmed out of it and packed up the suit before throwing it into one corner. It was just a temporary suit after all, I never
intended it to be my full time apparel.
Over the past few weeks since the beginning of project Technomage I found myself making significant progress with the
unstable molecular fabric. And by that I mean I was successful. The only reason I didn't go shouting it out to the world was
because I was saving it for something special. Doom.
The floor in the middle of my lab opened up as a black briefcase rose up on a pedestal that was lifted by a repulsor desk
underneath. I pressed my palm on the case, it read my biometrics before clicking open.
I lifted the case and inside found my newest creation. The bleeding edge of what science had to offer and my own personal
experiments with magic. A white undershirt.
This is the most advanced tech I have ever made. Of course I wouldn't leave it lying around in an obvious manner!
I put the white shit on, it began to slowly tighten before stretching out. To anyone else it would seem to be a function of the
suit, but in reality there was a high tech scanner being run over my body which confirmed I was who I said I was. It scanned me
on a genetic level, didn't want someone like Mystique getting their hands on this.
"Activate, password: ! #$%^&," the password was something no being alive could ever crack. My real name. So even if they got
this far, they wouldn't be able to do this. Not even Mephisto, the devil, knew what my real name was.
"Confirmed," Sexy's voice spoke out, "Black Spider activating."
The fabric glowed as goldish red runes covered their surface. I carved the runes into the very threads of the fabric, ever single
thread count was now a portal into its own pocket dimension, and coming through that hole were nanobots that weaved
vibranium laced unstable molecule threads.
The entire costume exploded outwards in motion, in seconds I was suited up. The threads weaved by the nanobots also
contained minute robotic parts such as wires and machinery, as the threads weaved together, so did the suit's system. I stood
now in a vibranium weave UMF costume. Tear proof, bullet proof, energy absorbing, stretchable to any size and can be altered
to any form only to return to its original shape without a scratch on it.
Tony Stark, Batman and the Black Panther can kiss my ass.
The suit was pure black with white highlights. The spider in the middle was large and it's legs wrapped around my shoulder and
sides reached around the back. It was vibranium silver that matched the gauntlets that covered my forearm. The soles of my
feet were also covered with silver, nothing too fancy there.
Slowly a silver diamond shaped backpack formed on my back, it was shaped similar to Superman's shield and served as a
pocket of infinite storage. I figured I would need it on the field.
In the palm of my hands the repulsor disc formed, shining brightly for a second before vanishing. The suit had many many more
function, but I had them all on standby for now.
The helmet formed around my head was shock absorbant and fitted with every sort of protection I could need. Immediately the
lens light up and the HUD appeared before my eyes.
"We are running at 100% efficiency Spider. The Badassium core that Mr. Stark provided us is giving out ten times the output the
old core could."
I nodded, "thanks Sexy, initialize a full system check, how long until we are combat ready?"
"Calculating...twenty minutes for the weapons systems to be fully operational," Sexy replied.
I grinned, "perfect." I grabbed my original bag of infinite storage and put it into my silver backpack, it had over a hundred
canisters of vibranium, the left hand of the devil and my magic books. I do not want this lying around, especially if the Baxter
building was compromised. If only Doom knew what was in here…
I reached to the far wall of my lab and pressed a secret compartment inside, unlocking it with a click. Slowly the panel came
out and I reached inside, taking out a vial of red blood. Blood that...that I had hidden here the moment I came back from Earth
982.
Franklin Richard's blood. I sighed, "Sexy, what's my blood toxicity?"
"Last time we checked it was at around 5% Spider."
"Low...but not low enough," I couldn't' risk it. And even if I did, I didn't have the time to waste to allow the blood to change me
or the skill to use whatever power it would grant me. I growled, I just couldn't use it...not this time.
I put the vial of blood back into the wall and closed it off.
I turned around and left, walking into Johnny's lab where my car sat under a large black tarp, waiting for me. I ran my hands
along its side before pulling it's sheet off to reveal the modified car below.
I had done a complete overhaul for its entire system. I reinforced its body with reinforced titanium and installed an air lock
system and sooo much more. I opened the drivers side and sat down behind the wheel.
I pressed the ignition button, the car whirled to life. "Spider mode detected, making suitable adjustments," Doc's voice rang out
as the car began to transform.
The car's dashboard changed into a red and blue theme as various new buttons and a HUD came up. My own seat back opened
up revealing three date port that connected to my suit, locking it in place, allowing me to access the car's systems through my
suit.
The outside of the car glowed reddish gold, the runes for storage popped up, causing the truck to open up and plates of
titanium armour come flying across the car's surface before fusing together, changing the outer structure from looking like a
DeLorean into a tank.
The car lifted into the air, the thrusters working just perfectly, even with the new weight. Slowly the colour of the car changed,
some a silver trim to a black and silver finish.
"We have a problem Spider," Sexy spoke out, "we can't leave the lab without going through the service elevator."
"Engage weapons system," I called out.
"Is this wise?" Sexy asked.
"This is payback for leaving me behind," I call out as the truck of the car open up and a giant three feet in diameter canon
came out. "Charge 1%," the engine whirled to life, I clicked the red button on my dashboard closest to the steering wheel.
BOOM!
The entire back wall exploded out, all the concrete and metal inside reduced into dust, so I didn't have to worry about any
debris falling down and hurting someone.
I hit the accelerator and took off into the sky. I was tracking the FF, Reed's new vehicle ran on muon particles for thrusters, I
can track those. So I quickly followed them, though I suspect they would reach there first. After all Reed built his for speed, I
built this for war.
Twenty minutes later:
Reed Richards landed the Fantastic car on the roof where they saw Doom broadcast from. It was an abandoned building, no
one around for miles, at least according to the scanners.
"Where is he?" Johnny asked.
"Forget that, where is everyone else?" Sue asked as they looked around, the small town that factory sat on the edge of was
completely silent, not even a mouse squeak. Sue looked at the onboard scanners again, "I'm not getting anything, not a single
life form."
"That's because Doom scared them all away," Reed said as he and the others got out and stepped on the roof. They looked out
and sure enough they found small smoke clouds forming out of house and roads broken into pieces.
Johnny turned on his flames and flew into the air looking around, "it looks like there as a fight here but...I mean, I can't see
anything. It look abandoned. And judging by the way the cars and house are left open I would say they left in a hurry."
"We need to find Doom," Reed said adamentally, "if he did anything to them...he'll pay dearly."
"Don't worry Reed, we'll get him," Sue gave a reassuring pat on Reed's shoulder.
"Ah guys," Johnny called out, gaining their attention, "I feel like something's off. The entire city's empty but the lights football
stadium in the center of town is active. The scoreboard and the lights are on."
"He's there," Reed hissed as he and Sue got into the Fantastic car and flew to the small stadium. They were flying quickly when
suddenly something came crashing into their side.
"KYA!" Sue cried out as she was flug out of her seat and into the air.
"I got you!" Johnny cried out as he came in and caught his sister in his arms, only for the same thing that crashed into the
Fantastic car to come into Johnny, forcing the boy to drop Sue yet again.
Thinking quickly Sue formed a telekinetic platform below her, allowing her to stand in mid air. "Johnny!" she cried out and
turned, gasping at the thing her brother was fighting.
It was a giant white gorilla wearing armour. "Get off me!" Johnny cried out he sent a blast of flames at it, sending it flying away.
He flew to his sister, hovering next to her, "what the hell was that?!"
Sue said nothing, instead her mouth was hanging open in shock. Curious her brother turned around, and flyin before them,
wearing green jetpacks that were clearly Doom's design, was an army of giant white gorillas, each looking eager for a fight.
They didn't last long, Johnny lasted ten minutes. Sue lasted fifteen, putting up a better fight than her brother. But eventually
they were both captured and brought to the stadium where Doom was waiting for them.
Sue looked up, one side of her head bleeding hard, the blood seeping into her eyes making it had to see.
Doom walked up to her with a swagger in his step. He carefully cupped her cheek, raising it towards him, "such a pity," he
sighed, "I told them not to hurt your face...but then again, they are just monkeys."
The white gorilla next to Sue growled. Doom turned to him and held out a single finger, sending a blast of lighting at him,
hitting it right in the chest sending the gorilla flying back and hitting the ground dead.
"Put her into the machine," Doom turned and walked away, allowing Sue to finally see what was located in the middle of the
football field. There were four pillars that served as containment pods and connecting each of them on top was a giant circular
metal disk.
Sue's eyes would have been on the familiar green energy the circular machine was making, but instead her eyes were glued to
one of the pillars which was currently occupied by a giant organe rock faced man.
He was different, he now wore white robes that covered his whole body. He looked like a shaolin monk, but Sue still recognized
one of her closest friends.
"BEN! NO!" sue cried out.
"Did you really think you could hide him from me?" Doom asked, "foolish girl, Doom knows all about the magical reality of this
world. I have learnt from the Ancient One herself, before she too mistook my brilliance for arrogance! How else did you think I
survived the Negative Zone for as long as I did?! Grabbing Ben was so easy...he didn't even know I was there."
Sue looked at Victor with hate, "what are you planning Victor?! Why go through all of this?! Why not just blow us up and be
done with it?!"
The man in the metal suit looked down at her as if she was lower than dirt and spoke, "it's simple...because you're nothing more
than a means to an end Susan...all of you. It was almost too easy. You see, I don't care about you...but what I do care about is
what is inside you...the transdimensional energy, I need it."
