HDN: Gameindustri's Wild Card

Chapter 12: A Little Something for the Road.

Taking a bit of a break for the moment in Gamindustri. We take a look at the Earth, an Earth labelled appropriately as Earth#16698; The Marvel Universe. 

Everything's well and fine in the suburbs in the night of Manhattan. Except for the bolsters and fits of insane laughter, laughter that spread to the cities of America. 

Now, you might be thinking; 'Is this chapter going to be about Deapool? Y'know. The Merc with a Mouth?' 

NO!

They'll never know me, and what better way is there to get recognition? Simple! Have a bout with that read, hopping Spider-Man and with the little Gwenny-Pool! 

And with my blades sharp enough to cut anything like butter.... this is gonna be a good night.

---- 

And so it begins... The bout between a merc with a mouth, the spider-man, and a lunatical clown monster. 

Beetlejuice laughed in glee as he effortlessly blocked two of Gwenpool's blades with a giant chainsaw, sparks bursting as the teeth bite through the steel.

"It's over!" The ghost taunted. "I'm the crazy one here! Me, no you!" He laughs coldly as he steps away from the lock and kicks the Spider-Man in the gut.

And at the horror of his spectators, Peter Parker gets thrown away and collided into one of the buildings. As of which, pain coursed through his body as a result.

"Daaaaamnnn!" Gwenpool mused as she witnessed the collision, but her thoughts were cut short as she received a kick to the head, and a kick to the gut. 

Peter Parker groaned as he reeled in from the pain, and sees the turmoil already caused by the lunatical ghost. 

He laughed loudly, and much to the heroes chagrin, he splits himself into 7 clones and went on to destroy the city by spraying fire, throwing confetti at the people's faces, and throwing toilet explosive toilet paper at the buildings. 

And for a strange, messed up reason. Space Polyps came down from the skies and pelts all of the people with aggressive winds.

"What the!?" Spider-Man screamed as he gazes upon their many-mouthed, thousand-eyed, writhing, and slithy bodies.

"Guess I opened something that shouldn't have been opened in the first place?" The red-haired ghost tauntingly grinned at him as he plays around with a lantern.

Fortunately, help arrived when the Avengers came in, shooting, destroying, and smashing the monsters to oblivion! Yet, the ghost didn't seem deterred by it. He simply cackled and attacks Gwen again with two cursed swords. 

The Mercenary had trouble blocking his attacks as it involves him spinning around like a top and kicking her in the side when she isn't guarding it, it's almost as if he was taunting her.

Spider-Man quickly called for S.H.I.E.L.D and for the Avengers, maybe his own team for that matter, but if there's one thing etched in his mind was fear... Lovecraftian levels of fear.

And things didn't exactly help as those ugly little Space Polyps hopped around the streets devouring the citizens.

Then the whirring of a chaindae reached his ears, and sees the grinning ghost taunting the merc by inching the chains to her neck.

"After this, I'm gonna hang you by your entrails~!!!!" He taunted.

In a rush of adrenaline and panic, he slings his web at the blades and threw it aside, killing some of the Space Polyps as it flies through the air. Then the one thing that made him smile beneath the mask was it being blasted away by pure energy. 

The Avengers are here! S.H.I.E.L.D's here! Everyone's here cleaning up the mess that damn ghost made! Agents doing a damn fine job of containing the threat. 

And after all that, everything's fine and dandy, but nothing will stay the same... for the many worlds.

"So... What's the deal with this lampy-thingy?" Gwen simply asked as she poked the gray lantern.

Peter Parker simply sighed as he gazes on it, and hoo-boy, it sure is a pretty thing to behold... worthy to be given as a gift if you might add. the gems that circle around the silver crown, the hatch that shines with a golden window, and the handle is decorated with silver vines that add to it's beauty!

Hell, he's even tempted to take it.

 "Okay, kids. Let's save the sight seeing for another time." Coulson butted in as he takes the lantern and shelves it in some sort of cryo-tank.

And that is when Peter Parker knew how Gollum felt when he lost the ring in The Hobbit.
