10 Issue 10: X Factor III

Doctor Strange looked over the Venom files and was surprised by Peter's work.

Stephen was so impressed, he thought that if he had seen this before he learned magic, he would have lost his calm and gone a little ape shit. The Symbiote would've not only have cured his hands completely, it would've revolutionized medical procedures across the world.

However, Stephen also saw the dangers of such a powerful Bio-Suit as well, one could augment the human in a way never thought possible before and countless people would send armies to obtain it. Mankind wasn't ready for this responsibility, not as long as they're still fighting amongst each other.

Stephen used his magic to scan the Symbiote. A golden dust-like box appeared around the vials while the Sorcerer Supreme floated in front of them and broke the symbiotes' genetic information into raw data.

MJ shocked as she turned to Peter and whispered in his ear, "Spider-Man, can we do that too?"

"Actually you to possess a phenomenal amount of Mana, I don't know if that is a result of your mutation or if you were born with it. Either way, you both have the potential to make good Sorcerers." Wong Chimed in.

MJ had an excited look on her face when Peter nodded his head before saying, "Yep, probably has to do with our regeneration factor, but I see no reason we can't learn magic."

Doctor Strange completed his analysis and tuned to Spider-Man and said, "You were right in choosing not to bond with this creature. Its intelligence is far too primal compared to us. Its thinking pattern is one dimensional, protect the host and survive. I think I can help you teach it, but you'll have to go somewhere and collect what I need."

Peter raised his eyebrow, before asking, "What do you need?"

Strange responded by saying, "I need the Stones of Merlin."

"Wait for it!" Spider-Man said confusing MJ.

Unfortunately!" Doctor Strange added.

"Oh, I get it. There's always a but, or an, unfortunately," Spider-Woman said shaking her head.

"They are in another reality." Stephen Strange

"Of course, there are," Spider-Man sighed, because there was very little known about these magical artifacts, even in the comics they are only mentioned briefly and with no explanation as to what they do.

MJ raised her hand and asked, "Oh, what are the Stones of Merlin?"

Suddenly, with the use of a little magic, Wong appeared beside them holding a book in his hand and started reading. "Centuries ago, Merlin the previous Sorcerer Supreme conferred upon a collection of gems and empowered them, each of his creations was modeled after the infinity stones abilities. These gemstones, later known as the Merlin Stones, would be sought after and used as sources of power by various beings over the following centuries."

"After Merlin retired he stored his gems in our vault, but was recently a Bamf appeared and teleported many of our treasures across a few different realities. Bamfs are denizens of Neyaphem, which is the home realm of their father Azazel. They are mischievous little creatures that like to cause trouble," Stephen followed up.

"AAANNND I BROUGHT HIM HERE!" A very Ryan Renolds like voice could be heard echoing throughout the Sanctum.

"That's right readers you didn't expect this saga to be a Spidey and Deadpool team-up! Yay Spidey-Pool! Talk about random right, this writer needs some help!" Wade Willson's voice echoed from the nearby hall.

Peter slapped his head as he looked over and saw Deadpool, constrained, and tied up by a pair of magic chains.

Wade was slowly making his way over to them via a worm crawling maneuver when he looked at the two Spider-Heroes and said, "This universe has a Spidey-Mam too, and 'Whistle' aren't you sexy one?! Maybe Spider-Man and I can share the D.P name and have a little fun. Just call me Tiger!"

Peter walked over to Deadpool and snapped his neck. In response, MJ's eyes went wide as she screamed out, "Peter! What have you done?!"

Peter then leaned down and spoke in a very calm voice as he declared, "She's sixteen, asshole! Talk about my girl like that again, and next time you can spend the next few hours regrowing everything below your neck."

Wade jumped back up making MJ jump back in horror as he said, "OWWIEE! You're a lot meaner than my Amazing Spider-Man! Bad form author, bad form!"

Peter then backed off before saying, "Spider-Woman, meet the Merc with the mouth, he's essentially me but with guns, weak morals, and a face only a mother could love."

"Hey! I do not have weak morals! I feel very strongly about the bad guys I un-alive. I have a purpose, a motto I live by! With great firearms, come great piles of dead baddies." Deadpool shouted as he threw up a power-ranger pose.

"Shouldn't we be throwing him in prison?" MJ asked with hope in her eyes.

Peter shook his head as if it was hopeless when Deadpool suddenly shouted, "A prison can't hold me! Well, it can't hold me for, forever, at least. It would only serve as a momentary plot device where we could throw away some potential bad-guy by randomly killing them! R.I.P Black Tom Cassidy! By the way, did anyone else think it was weird that Black Tom would serve no purpose other than a quick racial joke? I mean, he was white as snow! Oh, I bet it was soft to the touch."

"Please, can we just throw this guy in prison?" MJ begged.

"Weren't you listening, that would only delay the plot! Quit stalling, writer, and get on with the story!" Deadpool shouted in the air.

"Spider-Man, I need you to travel to where Deadpool's Bamf went and retrieve the bag of infinite storage for me!" Strange pleaded with them.

"You forgot to add, take Deadpool far, far, far away from you," Peter said before he sighed.

"Please, Spider-Man, I can't take his incessant rambling anymore, it's driving me crazy!" Spider-Man could almost see the tears forming in Stephen's eyes.

Peter rubbed his forehead in frustration when Deadpool somehow escaped the magical bindings restricting his body, wrapped his arm around Spider-Man's shoulder, and said, "Come on Spidey, this is your fault in some way. Another version of you removed MY BAMF'S collar, and ever since, I've been chasing him down across the dimensions. It's only right a Spider-Man fix his own problems, regardless of which universe therefrom. Seriously all I have to do is play the responsibility card and you're in."

"Augh! I hate that you're right about that!" Peter yelled as he slapped his forehead.

Spider-Man then looked at Wade and held his finger up in a demanding gesture as he said, "Fine! Just this once Wade! But no killing!"

Deadpool jumped up and wrapped his arms and legs around very annoyed Spider-Man in a koala hug before he shouted, "Eiii! Spiderman and I get to team up again!"

MJ still was lost as Peter tried to explain Multiverse theory that lulled Deadpool to sleep,

MJ was starting to get it when she asked, "So there's an infinite number or realities with an infinite number of us, and the only differences besides the ones with different natural laws, are the choices we made in life?"

Peter elbowed Deadpool off of him and said, "It's your queue."

"Now the hot Spiderlady gets it! I need to capture that Bamf and return him to Shiklah or she'll have my hide for losing her gift." Deadpool then turned to Stephen and said, "Well, Doc, can we get to work? We have a Bamf to catch!"

Doctor Strange snapped his fingers and summoned a yellow paper talisman before he said, "I tagged him with a tracking spell. This will guide you to the Bamf. Of course, Wade will join you in traveling to the Universe to make sure to capture the Bamf, collar it, and return."

"By the Gates of Shangrila!" A portal opened up leading to a high altitude overlooking the city of New York in another universe.

MJ stepped up next to and grabbed Peter's hands before she spoke with eyes full of wonder, "This is so unreal!"

"You get used to it!" Deadpool mentioned as he walked next to them.

Without waiting any longer, the three heroes jumped through the Portal and started free-falling towards the earth.

On the way down, Spider-Man and Spider-Woman webbed out to the nearest highrise seconds before they heard Deadpool shout, "Hold me like you love me Spidey!"

Peter rolled his eyes before he shot out and webbed up Wade's waist. While he held on to his line with his other hand while Peter starting his swing with Wade screaming like a girl the whole way.

MJ and Peter jumped up from their first swing and rapidly fell towards the nearest rooftop they could spot.

As they landed, Peter watched as Deadpool rolled across the rooftop and landed in an awkward position with his back against a wall and his head against the ground.

Wade then jumped up brushed the dust off of his suit and proceeded to hug Spider-Man as he said, "Normally I prefer the straight-laced Spider-Man, but this is really starting to spark the 'M' in me."

Peter almost hurled in his mask as he pushed Wade in the gut and sent the merc rolling back.

"Right in the muffin button!" Deadpool shouted as he struggled to stand back up.

"Okay Deadpool, spread out and find that Bamf. Remember, no killing, or else we'll never have another team up again, in any timeline." Spider-Man said waving his finger as if he were disciplining a child.

"You wouldn't!" Deadpool shouted back.

"I'll contact every last universe, don't make me do it!" Peter threatened.

"Don't worry Spidey, I won't let you down." Deadpool declared while Peter grabbed MJ and webbed away.

After they were out of view, Deadpool looked around and with a confused gesture before he said, "Now what was I doing here?!"

"Looking for Bamf!" A deep voice echoed in Deadpool's head.

"Right! Killing Francis! Oh, God! I hope there's a Francis to kill in this world!" Deadpool shouted as he clapped his hands together.

"Why do we even bother?!" An innocent and almost childish voice spoke in Wade's head as he jumped off the roof.

As the two were web-slinging throughout the city, MJ caught up to Peter and asked, "Are you sure it was a good idea to leave red alone like that?"

Peter groaned in annoyance before he answered by saying, "Trust me, we're better off avoiding him and focusing on the task at hand. Besides I'm sure he's not too far behind, Deadpool has a thing about being in the spotlight."

As they were searching the city for the Chibi-Nightcrawler, a loud boom echoed throughout the streets. Looking over at the commotion, Peter and MJ heard a large human roar before they saw the red armored Juggernaut rushing through a building.

"Easy Juggy! Aw, man, of all the days! I just had to leave my matador's cape at home!" Peter heard a familiar voice call out.

"Don't worry citizens, with Spider-Mom, Spider-Dad, and Spiderling gonna save the day!" The voice of a young girl called out.

"Aah...Spiderling! You get your butt home. We told you that you were grounded, young lady!" Mary Jane's eyes widened when she saw a woman with red hair wearing a black and white Spider-Woman outfit.

The Spider-Man of this world grabbed his little Spiderling and jumped up and over a few buildings while simultaneously webbing up Juggernaut's legs and face.

"Young lady, you were grounded from crime-fighting because you blew up the kitchen with your experiment. I told you not to ignore your Spidey-Sense, but did you listen to me? Now I have to punish you or else mom will force me to sleep on the couch, and you know how I feel about the couch."

"Aww! Come on, Dad! Cut me some slack!" Spiderling shouted.

"Yea Pete, it's not like you've never blown up a lab or two," The visiting Peter said as he passed by the adult Spider-Man and headed towards Juggernaut.

This universe's Peter, dropped his jaw as he thought out loud, "Clone!"

The visiting universe's MJ appeared beside the Adult Peter and said, "Da~mn, Tiger! You got tall!"

Spider-Dad turned around to see a youthful MJ standing beside him in a completely different outfit from his wife.

"MJ?!" Adult Peter shouted with wide eyes.

"Wait! What?" Spiderling jumped up looking over Young-MJ and shouted, "Who are you, I'll have you know my daddy is married!"

Young-MJ started laughing as she hugged Peter and said, "Pete, you didn't tell her about us? I thought you loved me."

"Get off my daddy!" Spiderling shouted while waving her arms around in a violent manner.

Adult-Peter held on to his daughter while his face flushed red and he said, "Wait a moment, what's going on?"

Young-MJ pulled her mask up to show Spiderling. Both Adult Peter and his daughter gasped in astonishment.

Back with Juggernaut, Adult-MJ wearing the venom suit was fighting toe to toe with the giant muscle man, dodging his charges while tripping him on every occasion she got.

Young-Peter jumped down and smiled as he stared at MJ's developed body and thought, "Danm! I made a fine choice!"

Charging up his bag of jokes, Young-Peter waved at Adult-MJ and shouted, "Spidey Wife! Help! I shrunk and I can't grow up!"

Young-Peter Zipped in and started swinging circles around Juggernaut while webbing him from the feet up with cement webbing.

"Pea...Spider-Man? What happened?!" Adult-MJ's jaw dropped as she watched a youthful Peter continue to encase Juggernaut in cement.

Young-Spider-Man's trusty Spider-Sense was blaring constantly from just standing in the same proximity of Juggernaut.

As he ripped through his cement prison with ease. Peter felt the ground beneath his feet rumble as the Unstoppable Juggernaut stomped on the ground, lifting both Peter and the slab of asphalt he was standing on, into the air.

Juggernaut ripped through his webbing with his bare hands and sent a punch flying directly at the center of Peter's face.

"This is going to hurt." Peter thought as he webbed a nearby building and tried to pull himself away, only for Juggernaut's fist to hit him in the gut and sending him soaring across the street and through the wall of a nearby building.

"Spidey!" Both the MJ's called out.

"That could have been a lot worse if I didn't reinforce my body with Chi. Peter thought as he coughed up a mouth full of blood.

While Peter's healing factor kicked in rapidly and started regenerating his wounds, he felt his over half of the bones, organs, and muscles in his torso snap back into place.

As he jumped out of the rubble, Peter glared at Juggernaut before he shouted, "You, son of a...calm down, Pete. Daughter's present. Must watch my language!"

Standing in place and looking over his wrecked suit, Peter's eyes twitched as he almost blew a casket.

The classic Spiderman suit was his favorite outfit, although he wasn't planning on wearing it forever, he still carried the same respect for it the same way every Spidey-Fan carries it in their hearts.

Peter looked over to Juggernaut and shouted with fury in his tone, "Hey Q-Ball! That all you got!"

The two Mary Janes' sighed in relief as the Young-Peter Parker cracked his knuckles and started to fill his fist with Chi.

Peter then turned to the Spider-Man of this world and said, "Can you call please call Jean, and ask her to put this buffoon to sleep. I'm about to knock his block off."

The Peter of this Universe quickly pulled out a cellphone from his waist belt and called up his second favorite red head.

Within seconds, he asked her to prepare a Psychic attack for Juggernaut when the visiting Spider-Man shouted, "Spidey-Team! Blind him!"

All the spider-heroes shot their webs in Juggernaut's face when Young-Peter shot forward slamming his fist into the helmet, the wave of Chi exploded, crushing off the hinges, and sending the dome-shaped helmet flying.

Young-Peter then stood on top of Juggernaut's chest and shot his face full of cement-webbing before brought down a double-fisted hammer smash against the red giant's face.

Juggernaut grabbed Peter's ankle and started to squeeze, but Peter kept punching away and hitting him with Venom-Blast after Venom-Blast while ignoring the pain of his shattering bones.

Adult-Jean, who was halfway across the city, finally managed to locate the giant brute when she suddenly slammed Juggernaut with a mind-shattering mental blast.

Juggernaut screamed out in agony as his eyes rolled back and he fell unconscious.

Seeing that the big guy was down for the count, Peter fell over on his back and threw his arms out while panting heavily at the sky.

"And stay down you overgrown fire hydrant!" The Adult-Peter chimed in as he came over and held his hand out.

Young-Peter sighed as he grabbed his counterpart's hand and stood up. He then looked at his appearance and said, "Augh! Man! My costume is ruined."

Young MJ ran to his side and hugged him before she said, "We can fix it when we get back. Tiger."

The Spider-Parents looked at the two young versions of themselves and said, "Can someone please clue us in?" at the same time.

"I second that!" Spiderling shouted.

Young-Peter quickly webbed up the Juggernaut and threw his helmet into a trash can before he said, "You may not believe us, but we've come from another..."

"Universe," Adult-Peter said while shaking his head.
