"I"m more curious as to where you got that mirror!" Strange replied as he was imprisoned by his own Red Bands of Cyttorak, Wong was strung up as well as he struggled to get free. "Oh this old trinket, it was made from a Carbuncles Gemstone, Merline gave it to me as a gift when he tried courting me. Way back then when he was the Sorcerer Supreme!" The woman shouted."You mean stole from Merlin. He has died Morgan Le Fay, he died a long time ago, why have you returned?" Strange shouted back.
"He died because that pesky Ancient one wouldn"t mind her own business, if he had joined me then we would have conquered this world and ushered in an age of untold magic. Now are you going to tell me where the stones are, or am I going to have to torture the truth out of you?" Morgan responded tightening her fist causing the bands around the two to squeeze them to the point of yelling out in pain, MJ frowned as the two crawled along the roof as quietly as they could, MJ sent him a telepathic message and made Peter"s eyes goes wide, "I can turn invisible, I"ll look for a chance to grab the mirror."
"Fine, I"ll draw her attention." Peter then stood up and stared down at Morgan from the ceiling, he placed his hand over his mouth and coughed, "Excuse me, I want to hire a magician for a birthday party, this is the right place? Right?"
Morgan turned around and looked at Peter, "Oh, what a cute child." Peter shook as he landed on the ground and stared at her, Morgan was truly a beauty, long black hair, fair white skin, and glowing green eyes, "I don"t suppose you could let my friend go?"
Seeing Peter she felt the energy of the Power Ruby flowing inside his body, figuring out that he was the new rightful owner she smiled and said, "I don"t mind as long as you hand over your Magic Stones,"
"I"m sorry but these Magic Stones belong to someone else." Peter covered his crotch, making Morgan"s calm smile crack, "What a foul mouth, perhaps Morgan here should teach you a lesson." A violet stream of magic gathered around her hand, as she pointed it at Peter and said, "Bad children should be punished, for foul language, I think sealing your lips is suitable punishment." She waved her hand and smiled, looking at Spider-Man with a smug expression of confidence and said, "Well, little boy, anything you have to say?"
"Yeah, who the h.e.l.l do you think you are? First, you say you"re after my stones, now you want to punish me? Lady you got some problems, I"m only 16 and a half, I should report you," Peter said waving his arms, Morgan frowned, "Odd, are you immune to Hex Magic." A violet energy erupted from her palms and shot towards Peter as she said, "Fine, the hard way then!" the bolt of energy slammed into Peter sending him flying, as this happened MJ strung out a web and hit the surface of the handheld Mirror, pulling it out of her hands, as Peter smashed against the wall and coughed up a mouth full of blood as the shock ran through his body.
"OW!" Peter shouted as the bands around Doctor Strange unraveled. MJ jumped down beside Peter and webbed up the Mirror with her organic webbing, "You okay?" MJ said as she helped pick Peter out of the wall, "Lady packs a punch." Peter said as he stared down Morgan who clicked her teeth as the room and s.p.a.ce they were in returned to normal.
A series of runes appeared around Strange"s hands as he said, "Well, the tables turned rather fast now wouldn"t you say?"
Morgan smiled, "No matter, even if you destroy me, this body is nothing but an avatar, only a fraction of my power is in it. If you don"t hand over my possessions I"ll just keep sending them back to disrupt your lives."
"Hah! You and I both know that you can"t possibly breach the void for so many Avatars, to send even one here would take up a phenomenal amount of your energy and where you are right now I imagine you don"t want to waste too much of it.
"So what, even a fraction of my power is enough to handle the likes of you," Morgan said as her body started to grow, her clothing ripped as she transformed into a giant fire-breathing dragon, "Burn!" Morgan shouted as a violet flame shot out from her mouth, Strange placed up a barrier and began to push back, Peter jumped up and webbed her mouth shut with his organic webbing, she quickly shaped shifted her body and shot the magical flames at Peter, MJ webbed up a net and tried to throw it over Morgan but was. .h.i.t in the waist by her tail, just being around Morgan caused their Spider senses to go into overdrive, thanks to that they pretty much had to fight without it.
Strange sent out his red bands and tried to entrap her, they ran through her body when she disappeared in a puff of smoke, "Illusion!" Strange shouted as he felt a bolt of Morgan"s magic strike him on the back, Wong caught him and jumped back beside Spider-Man and said, "Glad you two made it back, thanks for the help." Strange managed to say as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
"Peter cracked his knuckles and said, "No problem, now what do you think about bringing an ancient legend down." Peter looked to the giant dragonized Morgan, "Looks like you have some bad luck, Morgan! Since this is just an Avatar we don"t have to worry about killing you." Peter jumped forward and charged towards Morgan, she laughed and said, "Foolish child, you think you can match the might of a Dragon!?"
MJ appeared beside her and said, "Who knows? We haven"t exactly gone all out since we have to worry about our opponent"s lives." Morgan went to attack her when MJ grabbed her tail, her feet skirted across the ground as she stopped the attack Peter punched her in the face sent the Dragon flying back, "Normally I"m against punching ladies, but for you, I"ll make an exception."
Peter and MJ webbed her body and pulled her towards them, as the organic webbing made contact Morgan"s shapeshifting power started to revert, she tried to cast a spell but it was no use, Peter and MJ punched out with all their might and watched as Morgan"s body shattered into a million pieces like gla.s.s."
She reformed from the dust and shouted, "What naughty children!" The room began to twist and turn as Strange pulled them into the mirror world, Morgan"s body grew until it started to eclipse the size of a high rise building.
She placed out her hand and sent down a ma.s.sive ray of the world ending energy, Peter and MJ created a dome of webbing encasing them in a layer of magic protection, with Strange reinforcing it, they managed to hold out, but them Morgan flicker her fingers, causing the webbing and the ground underneath them to pulled up and launched across the sky, they tumbled around inside the empty s.p.a.ce, when Peter grabbed Strange, while MJ grabbed Wong, Peter then kicked out the bottom of the ground beneath them and flew out along with MJ.
Stange hovered next to them and said, "Can you keep her busy while I prepare a banishment spell?"
"Sure, but can"t we just destroy her?" Peter asked, as his suit lit up activating his power mode, "I suppose you could." Strange laughed as he turned to Morgan and said, "You"re in real trouble now!"
"Impossible! He can use the Power Ruby to its full capacity?!" Morgan started to shake a bit, Peter then reappeared in front of her and punched her in her giant gut so hard it sent her flying back destroying anything that she flew through, Peter didn"t let off as he focused the Power Ruby"s energy into his Lightning mode and shot a bolt of lightning that would make Thor think he was his illegitimate child.
"It"s a good thing were in the Mirror world," MJ said as she watched her boyfriend reck havoc on a mythological being. Peter raised his hand and created as a ball of fire and lightning energy exploded over Morgan"s body shattering the very fabric of her magic, her Avatar screamed out in vengeance, "I will remember this child!" were the last words that came from her as she faded away to dust.
Peter stood over the ma.s.sive star like construct he built and snapped his fingers making it disappear. The power mode stopped with 30 seconds remaining. "12 hours until the Power Ruby recharges completely," Webster mentioned.
MJ jumped into his arms, and shouted, "Amazing! I wonder how strong you"ll get when you claim ownership of the rest of Merlin"s gems." Strange walked over to him and said, "I agree, I imagine you will be of great help for the future threat to come."
Wong then nodded his head, before saying, "I think it"s time to begin the remaining trials, your knowledge of magic is sufficient to not need my teachings anymore, not to say that I couldn"t teach you more because I can, but since you two have found your own path, I don"t wish to interfere with what discoveries you"ll make."
Peter and MJ smiled, "So does this mean we can go back to our lives?" MJ asked as she looked at Strange.
"Yes, but remember you are free to come here and ask for advice about anything, now let"s head off to the vault, I"m curious to see what the stones have in store for you."
Strange took them back to the real world and led them towards the magic vault, Peter and MJ stood at the threshold and walk through seeing millions of strange artifacts that were either sealed or placed in a display case with magic protection enchantments covering them.
As they approached the Merlin Gems peter could feel a connection between them, like two bells that rang on the same frequency, he started to approach it when he stared at all five of the fine cut stones. The Time Opal, the Reality Topaz, the Soul Emerald, the Mind Sapphire, and the s.p.a.ce Amethyst, all of them glowed with an immense energy and it only grew brighter the closer Peter got.
As he stood over the Merlin Gems he the first to approach him was the s.p.a.ce Amethyst and Time Opal, they seemed to want to test him at the same time, they stood in front of the Reality, and Soul stones as if displaying their order of importance. Strange looked at peter fascinated as he said, "Simply place your hand out to accept."
Peter looked to MJ who nodded her head and said, "I"ll be right here with you."
As he reached out his hand he felt himself being thrown across time and s.p.a.ce, he suddenly felt his body smash into a table, he quickly jumped up and began looking around, he realized that he was no longer in Strange"s Sanctum anymore because he was surrounded by a group full of familiar Heroes. Spider-Man wearing his black suit, Luke Cage was standing next to Jessica Cage who was guarding their baby, Clint was dressed in the Ronin uniform, and Maya Lopez standing next to him, and lastly Captian America and Logan were all staring at him.
"This isn"t where I parked my car!" Peter stood up, "Clone!" this universe"s Spider-Man shouted, when Peter waved his hands, "No, not a clone, you from a different universe, speaking of different universes which one am I in?" Everyone was stunned as Peter removed his mask. "See, bit young to be a clone, after all, they wouldn"t create a child if they could age them to the peak of their maturity, now would they?"
"Holy c.r.a.p! Look how young I am!" This Universe"s Peter shouted.
