Ch 4 Accepting Reality

"Oh Crap! Oh Crap! Oh Crap! Oh Crap!" Peter thought as he dodged a large fist heading his way.

Evading has leveled up!

"Really?! Now is not a great time for pop-up messages!"

"ARRGGHHH!" The Breaker roared as he delivered another fist towards Peter who dodged again.

"Hahaha! What's wrong boy, where did that confidence you had earlier go to?" The breaker said to Spider-Man as he threw yet another fist towards his direction, Peter was about to dodge the attack, but the Breaker saw that and quickly used his other hand and punched Peter on his chest with so much force that Peter was sent flying towards a couple of yards away.

Crack

-80 HP

"Gahh!" Screamed Peter.

Peter was badly hurt and one more hit from that creature could be the end of him. Peter tried to get up but then he felt an enormous pain emerging from both sides of his lower ribs. Then he noticed that he was wheezing instead of breathing normally.

Before anything else, a blue screen appears showing his condition.

Debuffs: Broken ribs, bruised lung, punctured lung (-2 HP for every 5seconds, effect lasts for ten seconds).

Shit this isn't good, at this rate he's going to get killed, speaking of getting killed, Peter looks toward the Breaker and notices him charging an electrical blot, Peter tried to get up but the pain was too much causing him to become unable to move.

The breaker began to chuckle before he started singing.

"Itsy bitsy spider came up to me to gloat, down came the thunder, and squashed the spider hard!" Then he fired his bolt towards Peter.

The world seeded to slow down as Peter the bolt heading toward his direction. Peter began to panic as he had no idea of how to get out of this situation.

Come on Peter think, how can you get out of this situation? Webbing your way out is a no since I can't move a muscle and by the time I web something the blog would have reached me by then. You have magic, think, use it! I need something to protect me like a barrier. Magic, barrier.

Peter began to imagine a shape that would be big enough to cover him and strong enough to handle a 10000-volt attack.

Then bolt was a few inches from Peter before hitting him and some parts of the ground engulfing him with dust.

The breaker smiled with pride looking at his handy work.

"To be honest, I expected more from you."

As the dust began to die down, Spider-Man was there covered in a blue dome while drinking a red liquid from a small glass bottle.

"What!" The enraged Breaker shouted.

"Ahh ." Peter said after drinking from the small bottle, "I'm sorry did you say something."

Mana Shield has leveled up!

[Mana Shield] (Lv.1)

A shield created by your mana that will protect you from any attack.

Cost: 30MP

Peter smiled at what he read, it wasn't easy coming up with a skill while death's door was only a few inches away. And thank god that he had a healing potion in his inventory. Leveling up his [Observe] skill wasn't the only thing he got yesterday, apparently after leveling his skill, his ability decided to give him a reward.

[Potion of Minor Healing]

Restores 25 points of health.

Ok judging by his calculations he should have 41 HP left. Now he has to focus on not getting hit again, otherwise, it's game over. Peter looked towards his opponent and began thinking on his next move. He needed something to conceal himself while at the same time keeping the Breaker in one place, Peter's eyes widened, and then he began to smirk to himself.

He knew just the skill.

Peter took a deep breath and began to channel his mana, concentrating and visualizing what he needed, and just like that another skill was made.

[Smoke Screen] (Lv.1)

Summons a pile of smoke at targeted areas, enemies will receive stun debuff while the user will be invisible for a couple of seconds.

Cost: 14MP

Perfect this could work. Peter turned to The Breaker and saw him preparing yet another electric bolt.

Peter then ran towards the Breaker without hesitation, the Breaker was surprised at Spider-Man's action but that only lasted for a second he then fired his bolt toward Peter, but this time Peter was ready.

"[Mana Shield]!"

Then a blue orb appeared just like last, covering Peter and protecting him from harm.

Mana Shield has leveled up!

The shield disappeared and Peter continued on his assault.

The Breaker didn't have enough time to make another blot as he sees Spider-Man getting real close, so instead he decided to use brute force, he pulled back his arm reading his attack and as Peter closed their gap by a couple of feet, he raised his right arm and accomplished half of his plan.

"[Smoke Screen]."

Then a pile of smoke gushed out from Peter's hand and hit the Breaker's face, blinding him.

"GAHH! What the hell!"

In a desperate attempt the Breaker swung his arm trying to protect himself, Peter easily avoided the arm and delivered a hard uppercut.

"GUH!"

-60 HP

Peter didn't stop and immediately delivered two quick blows on the Breaker's stomach.

-57 HP

-61 HP

Then the Breakers mechanical arm rushed to Peter, Peter slid between the Breakers legs and quickly fired a web trapping it down. All this happened in two seconds, which means the Breaker will be able to see again in a couple more. Peter then jumped on the Breaker's head then used both web-shooters to web Breakers' face and as Peter was landing on the ground, he yanked the webs as hard as he could forcing the Breaker's face to hit the ground with so much force that a small crater was made.

-20 HP

"That's it? Peter thought in disbelief of how much damage that did to him, I mean he knows that it isn't much but still, it should at least-OH CRAP!

The Breaker held Peter's leg and immediately tugged it hard causing Peter to fall down then the Breaker quickly got up from the ground and threw Peter through several walls of the construction site.

-20 HP

Peter's body was now stuck on the wall of the other side of the construction site and tried to move his body despite being thrown through several walls.

He had to get out of here now, there was no way that Peter could fight off this behemoth himself, he needed to rethink his strategy and come up with a way to beat him next time. For god's sake why cant his body move.

Peter tried moving his right arm and he couldn't feel a thing.

….

"Okay let's not panic right now and just look at the situation right now."

"Debut-BLUH before Peter could finish speaking the word he vomited blood.

"How hard did that guy throw me!"

With one deep breath Peter was finally able to utter a word.

"Debuffs."

Debuffs: Broken ribs, punctured lung (-2 HP for every 15 seconds), broken left arm, broken right leg, fractured skull.

Peter stared at the screen with horror, he knew this guy had the power of the Abomination and something as close to Captain America. Individually these two were strong enough to fight an entire army by themselves, but combined well we now see how ridiculously powerful a super-soldier hulk is.

Dum, Dum, Dum.

Wait what's that sound?

Then suddenly Peter was hit by a shoulder tackle, courtesy of the Breaker.

-20 HP

The Breaker suddenly stopped and was now rolling across the floor outside the construction site.

The Breaker then looked at Peter and began to smile, proud of what he had accomplished.

Peter was bleeding from everywhere, his costume was ripped in many places, exposing his torn and bruised skin, his left arm and right leg were so twisted, one would think that if someone were to touch one of them, it would fall off easily. His bottom mask was torn, showing his lower face and allowing the Breaker to perfectly hear Spider-Man wheezing.

"A shame really, I was having fun with our little spar, but it was about time I showed you your place."

"So this is it, huh, this is how I die. Getting killed by a guy pumped up on hulk steroids, not the way I wanna go."

"Well it was fun, but I think it's time to end this." The Breaker then began to walk towards the beaten Spider-Man, ready to put him out of his misery.

"Shit I don't wanna die yet, not now, maybe someone will come and help, maybe Tony will-"

"Oh...right, no one's coming, it's like they forgot about him, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, The Avengers, hell even Miles probably forgot about him."

-2 HPPpPPppPp%$ !?)(ERROReekfuHP_=+

"ScReW tHeM, sCrEw AlL oF tHeM."

Then all of a sudden, the ground beneath Peter erupted with white. The Breaker halted his movement and was suddenly punished back by the air pressure that erupted from Peter.

"I dOnT gIvE a Fu%# aBoUt ThEm AnYmOrE."

"I wILl SlAuGhTeR AnYoNe WhO iS iN mY wAy.

SpIder-Man then began to rise up, as if a dead man had come back to life, and his bones began popping back to place.

Crack Crack

Breaker was now standing on one knee covering his eyes with his arm while his other arm was digging on the ground trying to hold himself from this enormous pressure.

WiTh GrEaT pOwEr CoMeS gReAt ReSpOnsIbIlItY, IsN't ThAt RiGhT UnClE bEn?"

When the light died down, Breaker finally opened his eyes, and what he saw in front of him.

Wasn't human, but a monster.

What he saw was Spider-Man unharmed, as if the actions he delivered to him had not happened at all, and his muscles grew a lot. It looked like a buffalo was on steroids. Also there was red lighting surrounding his body hitting anything close to it. Then Spider-Man used his healed left arm and pulled off his tattered and ripped mask, revealing his face to the world.

Breaker was confused as to why the masked vigilante would show his identity to a criminal, but this was a rare opportunity to finally see who was behind the mask.

A child.

A child was behind the mask, the famous vigilante who took down many notorious criminals and villains was a child?! The breaker was about to lunge forward and attack him before anyone from the top floor of the unfinished building woke up and see what the hell was happening and god forbid if they see a kid giving the Breaker a hard time even if it was just a little. His reputation would be diminished and he won't hear the end of it, of how a kid was fighting back and injuring The Breaker.

Keyword, about to.

Before he could do all that, Spider-Man moved his head up to face him, and what the Breaker saw terrified him to the core.

His eyes...there was no pupil or iris, it was yellow, an endless yellow staring right back at him, and for some reason, he suddenly felt fear and a whole lot of it.

The Breaker tried to speak, but he found it hard to do so, it was as if he never spoke in his entire life. Finally he was able to utter a sentence, breaking the silence between them.

"What the hell are you?"

Spider-Man stared at him and then he did something unexpected.

He roared.

Like a monster.

"RRRRROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR!"

The ground around Spider-Man started to break and fly away from him, and the pressure that was now forming was much more intense than before, The breaker had to use both his enormous hands to dig deep into the ground and used all his strength just to hold on.

What the breaker was feeling right now was something new, confused sure, scared for the second time hell yeah, but there was something the Breaker felt and despite feeling it for the very first time, he knew what it was.

It was power.

Pure Power.

Meanwhile in Nova Corps Main Starship

Scott Adsit was busy looking at the holographic blueprint of a Nova base built on a nearby planet, after the destruction of Xandar and the Cancerverse the Nova corps was never the same. But a soldier's duty is never over, they will rebuild and return to their glorified power and take back Xander!

Buuuut as of right now they can do nothing of that sort. Sure they can rebuild, but it will take a loooong time to get back to what they used to be before, so for now the nearby planet will be used as a temporary Nova headquarters, and they can use the planet's resources for building more ships and weapons.

But before Scott could continue on his planning, the hologram turned red and displayed an exclamation point with warring under it. Scott immediately got worried, was it the Skrulls, the Kree, or worse Thanos? But the next message that appeared scared him even more.

"UNKNOWN ENORMOUS ENERGY DETECTED"

That message could mean a few things, bad things. Could it be the Phoenix? Thanos? Or worse, something new they have never faced before?

Scott looked up while holding his head with both hands trying to calm himself down.

Then the door of the room Scott was staying in opened upward, revealing a Nova trooper and despite wearing the Nova helmet, Scott could tell that he had a worried expression.

"Sir we detected massive energy from somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy."

"I know, find the location of where the energy appeared in the Milky Way and report it back to me."

"Understood sir, I will organize and send in a scout team to scan the energy and check its location." The Nova trooper then exited the room, ready to deliver the orders he had just received.

Scott let out a tired sigh and pried to god that this threat had nothing to do with a certain merc with a mouth.

Meanwhile in Krakoa

Carols sitting on the ground was enjoying the beauty of life on the island, he was happy. After all these years of hate and discrimination towards mutants, despite everything they have done for them, they are now safe in Krakoa.

Finally, Charles can relax at las-

Charles immediately got up and felt worried.

This energy that he has felt right now was...whatever the hell it was it must be taken care of.

Charles decided that he must inform the other x-men and see what they can do from there. Some of you are thinking what did Charles felt, well to put it simply, he felt raw power, and it was nothing like he ever felt before.

Meanwhile in Strange Academy

Not good.

Not good at all.

sensed this unknown energy and what's worse is that it's somewhere on Earth and he can't exactly pinpoint its location, if it were slow then he can where it emitted form, but the second the energy appeared it spread around the whole Earth and now it's spreading out into space, and that can't be good. Strange Really didn't want to deal with anything from space right now.

But still, whatever being, no monster caused this, strange will send it back to where it came from.

Meanwhile in Asgard

The king of Asgard, Odin himself, who won countless battles, slayed the deadliest beasts known to man, and above all, his voice alone could calm millions and whenever he smiles, it brings joy to those around him.

But now there was no smile present on his face, he was so quiet that one might mistake him for a statue. If one were to see him now, they would believe that all those stories were just lies just to boost his ego. But Odin didn't care about any of that, all he did was stare at stars. He felt something. Something dark and sinister. And for the first time in a hundred years.

He doesn't know what to do.

Meanwhile in Avengers Mountain

Every hero there was minding their own business, when suddenly they all felt it, that strange energy that made everyone nervous and worried. All the young and old heroes knew that they must find whoever was responsible for this, and stop them.

Meanwhile in Stark Tower

Stark was busy, scanning a broken piece of armor he took from Whiplash during their last encounter. Tony was impressed at the tech, but at the same time he was worried, there was only one person capable of making this tech.

Zeke Stane.

As Tony was looking over the armor, he felt something. He didn't know what it was, but he felt what he can only describe from his years of experience, a weird energy, yeah I know who the hell can someone feel the energy, well you aint Tony Stark. Still it was more than enough to make him nervous. He knew something was wrong, he got up from his seat, put on his armor, and headed to the Avengers Mountain immediately.

Everyone on Earth and other planets felt a sudden feeling causing them to be worried and scared not knowing what happened or how they feel scared all of a sudden. It only lasted for a couple of seconds, but no one would forget what they just felt. But there was one plant where someone felt interested instead of fear.

Meanwhile in the Black Quadrant

In a long and darkroom, a figure sitting on a throne alone, when suddenly the room's massive door opened and revealed someone with a worried face rushing to get inside before kneeling to the man in front of him.

"My lord, did you feel that sudden energy?"

"Yes I have, Maw, it was unique alright"

"Do you think it is an infinity stone my lord?"

"No it wasn't. I have held the stones before, I would know the energy of any of the stones, but still, it was well...interesting." The figure then got off his seat and showed how tall he was, compared to the man named Ebony Maw, and began to walk to the window beside his seat and looked at the reflection it showed outside where there was nothing but the darkness and emptiness of space.

Maw."

"Yes my lord?"

"Find out where that energy came from and report back to me once you found out."

"Of course my lord, all hail the mad titan, Thanos." With that said, Desaad got up and left the throne room to begin his search.

The lone man known as Thanos began to smile to himself thinking about the energy he felt earlier. It wasn't that much an infinity stone, but it had something that made him feel nostalgic. While most people felt scared at the sudden energy they didn't know why, but he did. Because the energy they all felt was energy full of hate and evil. It almost reminded him of himself when he met Death almost hundreds of decades ago. If he could get his hands on whatever caused this energy and mold it into something more powerful, he may not need the help of the infinity stones to take over the whole universe.

BADUM-TSH and another one, I know this chapter had many similar things to what I wrote in my previous fanfic, but it was something I planned to add to both of them so I hope you guys will be ok with this.

P.S

If any of you guys know more about the Novas, Mutants, Strange Academy, or any of the things I wrote, it would definitely help me a lot if you guys gave me any info, even if it's small, it would do wonders for me, thank you.

Until next time, EXCELSIOR!
