Spiderman Ultimate Peter Parker 32 Trials Of Merlin Part Iii

"Ahh! Just in time! You two came to start your magic training finally." Strange looked as if the two arriving would solve all his problems, when he said, "I know you two wish to learn of your heritage but I'm in a bit of a crisis right now, I was planning on testing you both together, however, the fates seem to have something different in store for you."

"Crystal, this is Spider-Woman, a Hero who fought in the recent invasion." Strange introduced MJ, and turned to Peter and said, "And this is Spider-Man also a Hero who also partic.i.p.ated in saving NY from the aliens."

Crystal looked them over and lifted a brow, "I thank you for protecting the earth, but I have no time for chit-chat at the moment, this 'magic' man and I were in the middle of a discussion."

Peter laughed, "That's a good one, Doctor Steven Strange, Stage Magician Supreme!"

Steven frowned and said, "Actually I was hoping Spider-Woman would accompany me, while you undergo a trial."

"Say what now, Doc?" Peter questioned.

"I will pay a visit to Black Bolt and since Spider-Woman has a bit of fate with the Inhumans she will come as well," Strange explained.

"Ok~ay! Then what test are you giving me?" Peter asked.

Strange then said, "You see almost every magic item contains some sentence, some far more than others, and a particular set of Items has chosen you as its master."

"But I don't know the first thing about magic!" Peter exclaimed.

Strange pulled out a satchel and pa.s.sed it over to him, "Inside is the beginnings of your magical lessons, you will have to learn several dead languages such as Sanskrit and Latin." Peter smiled, "Oh, joy, Homework!"

"The bag is yours, and so are these." A thick leather robe floated over Peter and MJ when Strange continued, "These will help attune your spiritual bodies to better feel your magical energies."

Strange handed a satchel of infinite s.p.a.ce to MJ, and said, "After you two complete your initial training I'll take you to receive your personal chosen items. Since Peter has already been chosen by an artifact he will undergo a trail of sorts given by the item, it could take a while so Spider-Woman will be joining me on our journey to settle our misunderstanding."

"What do we do about our real lives back at home?" MJ asked as started to worry.

"I can cast a spell that will create an excuse for your absence when people try to think of why you two aren't here they will think nothing of it, whatever is the acceptable excuse will become the illusion, of course, this only works if they don't see you," Strange replied.

"Spider-Woman what do you want to do?" Peter asked.

MJ thought of all the people that pa.s.sed away during the invasion and said, "I want to get stronger."

Peter smiled and turned to Strange and said, "Well you heard her Sorcerer, teach her as much as you can because when you get back I might just surpa.s.s you."

Strange laughed and said, "Very well, that might actually make me happy, Wong please take him to a place to study."

Wong appeared beside Peter making him jump, "Whoa! When did you?"

"I was standing here for a while now," Wong replied.

Strange turned back to Crystal and said, "If you would."

Crystal rolled her eyes, she then held the crystal out and activated it by connecting to it somehow, the pale blue fist size crystal s.h.i.+ned as a Portal opened up, on the other side was a ma.s.sive floating citadel floating over the Himalaya's mountains. The city looked far beyond what she had ever seen, as was something akin to how a mortal would look at Asgard for the first time, the scenery was out of this world. There were high rises, and thousands of high-tech looking buildings, all of which was suspended over a bowl-shaped, anti-gravity and cloaking device.

Crystal took one look at Doctor Strange and scowled before saying, "I can let you meet with big brother, but my mission still stands, this is going back to Attilan."

MJ held out her hand, and said, "I look forward to learning more about your people." MJ smiled while Crystal shook her head away and jumped through the portal, "Well that could have gone better." MJ sighed as she jumped through alongside Doctor Strange.

Peter was led to a large library where he began going through the many languages he would have to study up on. Peter scratched his head and dug in, focusing on the books like no tomorrow.

While he was doing this, Osborn Corp was up to its old tricks again trying to recreate the serum.

"What do you mean the gas isn't ready!? How much money have I sunk into your ridiculous project? If you don't shape up and get some results than you can count your self out of the job, no one would dare hire Roderick Kingsley again! Ever!" Norman Osborn was shouting at a young blond man sitting in a chair next to his lab equipment.

"Look Mr.Osborn, the Tech we pulled out from the invasion is still too experimental, even if we could use the alien tech to synthesize an enhancement serum, would what comes out of it even be suitable for humans? This takes time, Norman, and using technology as advanced as this without knowing the full extent of what it's capable of is too dangerous."

"I don't care, Kingsley, you have 4 months to get some results or I'm giving your lab and work to someone else!" Osborn said shouting at the top of his lungs.

"You can't do that, I've poured my life's work into this Project!" Kingsley shouted back.

"Then you better get some d.a.m.n results!" Osborn said as he left the room.

The young scientist grunted and turned back to his work, "I show you, Osborn, I'll show you all!"

Across the city at the Reed Richards Science Center, Eddie Brock after losing the only samples he had on Venom, he began trying to recreate the process from scratch, of course, this required a lot of materials that he couldn't afford so he had to steal, and use blood he received from death row inmates that he required from his part-time job as a prison guard at Ryker's Island Maximum Security Penitentiary.

He was going over his lab notes and slammed his fist on the table, "d.a.m.n it! Another rejection!" Eddie was searching through his list of possible blood donors and said, "Maybe it has something to do with blood type, let's see I ran almost every type, but the Symbiotic Parasite always dies or fails to fully form." Eddie was desperately trying to think of a solution when he thought, What if I used a Type O-negative to form a template gene, and then use type AB-positive to culture the symbiote, and since I'm AB-Postive I can use my own blood."

Eddie quickly singled out the only O-negative blood type that was available Cletus Kasady. "So it's gonna be you? What's it gonna take to bribe you out of some of your blood."

Eddie had been pa.s.sing over things like magazines, and cigarettes but with a lunatic like Kasady, there was no telling what would get him in a cooperative mood. Eddie smiled as he thought that he had finally cracked the Symbiote formula and shouted, "I'm gonna be rich!"

In a faraway location, over the Brooklyn Bridge a Portal from another world had opened up in a flash of purple light, a bloodied figure could be seen flying out of the portal, he was wearing a black and red Spiderman suit that was Kaine's signature outfit. Falling towards the East River, he webbed out to the side of the bridge and slammed into the wall in pain.

"Okay, I am so done with Micro-worlds and Macro-worlds!" Kaine shouted as he stared at the portal closing. "Well, at least I don't have to worry about that Symbiote G.o.d, now where the h.e.l.l am I?" Kain took a look around in his wrecked suit and shouted, "G.o.d d.a.m.n It! Why do I always end up back here?"

He sat on the top of the bridge and sighed, "Might as well go pay him a visit. At least I still have one good brother left, still can't believe Doc Ock was in his body, wonder how he's doing?" As he webbed off a small and black weakened ooze trailed down the other side of the bridge and slowly made its way across the support wires.

Kaine webbed through the city and saw that it was vastly different than the one he was familiar with, "Wait a minute, this is New York right?" Kaine started running around the city and shouted "c.r.a.p, c.r.a.p, c.r.a.p, c.r.a.p. Please no!" He webbed to the top of a nearby, he had heard about this from Peter but never experienced it himself.

"I'm in another reality." Kaine fell down and sighed, "Oh, man what do I do?"

Kaine's stomach growled and he sighed at the fact he didn't have his wallet on him, "I wonder if there's an Annabelle Adams in this Universe too. Nah what are you thinking Kaine, she'd just run away from you too."

Kaine webbed over to a seedy side of town and looked around for some sc.u.m to steal from, "It's not a Spidey nice thing to do, but when you're strapped for cash and in a world you know nothing about..."

Kaine stood on top of a water tower and focused his ability to communicate with spiders, he pulled in their visions until he found what he was looking for, "Nice, a drug house. Well, let's just clean up and take the cash, leave the drugs. Kain looked at his suits condition and sighed, "I hope it still works, wouldn't want to give the Spider-Man of this world a bad rep."

Kaine tapped his suit with an electrical charge, due to the Symbiote's nature they had absorbed most of the suit's matter, at the moment Kaine only had a 50/50 chance of jumpstarting the molecules to reactivate the Unstable Fabrics memory. It made a whizzing noise as he said, "Come on! Please work." A few seconds later the suits unstable molecules began to repair the suit, "Haha! Still got some of that Parker luck." He quickly entered into the building and made quick work of the street thugs, he made sure not to use his webbing, so many of them were going to jail with broken bones.

After knocking them out, he tied them up with the many Zip ties that were lying around and then tied them to each other so they couldn't struggle. He then searched through the room and picked up a ma.s.sive stack duffle bag stuffed full of 100 dollar bills nicely stacked together.

"Sometimes I feel bad for Peter's straight-arrow personality." Kaine walked over and picked a gun off the table before firing a few shots into the couch. He picked up the phone and gave the police the address before jumping out of the building carrying the bag with him.

As he ran across the rooftops he refrained from web-slinging, as a flying duffle bag would be bad enough, so he thought sticking to the rooftops would be a better idea. As he jumped from building to building top he failed to notice that he didn't completely zip up the bag properly, so a little bit of it could be seen.

His Spidey sense went off, he smiled as he said, "My Spidey Senses are back! Could Venom have healed me while we were bonded? Wait a minute, my spidey senses are back!" Kaine jumped back and narrowly evaded a woman in a revealing tight black leather-like suit, she had long silver hair and looked like she was in her early 20s, and a single thin goggle-like black mask worn over her crystal clear blue eyes.

Kaine tilted his head and listened as Felicia Hardy said, "Puur, Come on, my bag of money hold still for Kitty will ya?"
