The Spider of Earthrealm (Male Spider-Man Reader x Mortal Kombat)

Chapter 30: Battle for the Jinsei

Team S-F and Y/N are at the cockpit of their plane, currently in the air and heading towards the Sky Temple. Jacqui and Takeda are in the pilot's seats, with Cassie and Jin at the computer screens just behind them. 

Cassie: We land in fifteen minutes. We'll enter the Sky Temple from the terrestrial entrance. 

Takeda: Why not go straight there? 

Y/N: It exists in a different quantum state, slightly out of phase from our reality. It can't be reached by conventional means. 

Takeda breaths out a heavy sigh, which Valeria notices. 

Valeria: What? 

Takeda: It's just us. No one's coming to help. We either pull this off or- 

Cassie: We WILL get it done. 

Warning buzzers sound off through the plane. Before it looms the clouds that have been corrupted by the Jinsei. Cassie and Jin get out of their seats for a closer look. 

Kung Jin: By the... what is that?! 

Takeda: Dunno. But it's headed right for us. 

Kung Jin: Elder Gods have mercy. 

As the cloud looms closer, it produces turbulence that rocks the plane. 

Jacqui: Buckle up, people! I gotta put her down. 

Cassie and Jin race back to their seats. In the forest near the temple, Jacqui has landed the plane without crashing, and Team S-F and Y/N have exited without issue. The corrupted light from the clouds above them has given the forest a distinctly red hue. 

Jacqui: Looks like the temple entrance is fifteen clicks that way. 

She points off to the distance. 

Takeda: A moonlight walk in the woods. Another time, it'd be relaxing. 

Valeria: I wouldn't have saw you as a outdoor person. 

Takeda: My mother and I lived near a forest a lot like this. Really takes me back. 

Valeria smiles at this - it's quite clear she's warming up to Takeda's charm. 

Valeria: After we wrap this up, we should go. 

He looks at her and smiles back. They spend a brief moment staring warmly at one another, before looking over to Cassie and Jin standing on one of the plane wings, reparing the motor. Cassie slams down her tools in frustration. 

Cassie: Fuck me! We're grounded.

Franklin: What's wrong?

Cassie: That shockwave fried the leads. 

Jacqui: Then let's get going. We're almost outta time. 

Y/N Spider-Senses goes off as a portal opens and they see hordes of Oni's charging out of it, rushing towards the group.

Y/N: It's Shinnok's army. He knows we're coming.

The demonic creatures roar out battle cries and charge forward. 

Jacqui: The woods! C'mon! 

They flee. The Oni's walking through the woods, searching for their prey. Cassie, Jacqui, Franklin and Valeria hide behind two large trees as the search party walks past. Y/N is on top of a tree as they walk over it and Y/N lowers himself grabbing an Oni and webbing it to the tree as the oNi turns and sees him.

Y/N: Oh, hey...

Explosions suddenly rock the forest around the Oni's, throwing them into disarray. Two trees fall down, crushing several Oni's beneath them. Cassie chucks some grenades at the trees, Kung Jin shoots their bases with arrows, Franklin uses his telekinesis to throw a tree at the Oni's, Jacqui uses her gauntlets to shoot plasma blasts at the tree bases and Valeria uses her Concussive Blasts to knocks down trees all while Y/N swings over them throwing a Symbiote bomb knocking back a few Oni's. The end result is the trees continuing to fall on the Oni's. The fallen trees catch fire, giving the Oni's more issues to contend with. A Oni looks over the battlefield and spots Kung Jin shooting off arrows. Meanwhile, a Oni with wings scurries high up and spots Valeria. She has her back to him and continues to use her owers at the Oni's as the wing Oni flies towards her. Takeda runs up to Valeria.
