Chapter 48: Issue 48: Trials of Merlin Part XIX
Tony led them to a large lab room where there were Skrull-Scientist examining hundreds of missing Heroes and human citizens. Most of them were stored in pods full of some kind of stasis liquid.
"New plan," Tony said looking at the timer inside his armor's H.U.D, "15 minutes until the attack begins, just enough time to hack the Skrull's computer systems, specifically the teleporter."
Peter then asked, "Tony where are you going to put them? There are almost 500 people here. If the numbers are more or less the same in the other ships, then we're looking at around 2000 people, and not all from the same country."
"I was thinking of using a football stadium, lots of space, and we can contain everyone so that we can return them to their homes at a later time," Tony said as he finally hacked into the ships teleporting functions.
"Sweet we got lucky, the Skrull's Mothership computer systems are all connected to the rest. Let's set it up so that the moment the timer reached 0 the captives would all be sent back down to earth together, I'll notify Jarvis to travel there and take care of the getting everyone home situation."
After Tony finished setting up his trap, they then traveled their way up to the bridge and got ready to begin their assault. As the timer reached Zero, the Virus Tony planted in the ship activated the teleportation protocol and sent all their captives back to earth.
While the Skrull commanders tried to make sense of what was happening, the group busted in and started taking out their foes.
The Spider-Men jumped over and webbed every last Skrull in sight, and since Tony's weapons could damage the bridge, he had to resort to melee combat only, making his just slightly less dangerous than usual. Strange's spells kept everyone from being seen, so it was like an invisible whirlwind of destruction as they moved throughout the Bridge's personal.
After a few minutes, Peter activated his communication set and said, "Avengers reporting in, Alpha Target captured."
Everyone then received similar callbacks, "This is S.H.I.E.L.D, Beta Target secured."
"S.W.O.R.D target Gamma in check."
"Reporting from S.T.R.I.K.E, Delta target is under our control."
"Alright, now let's send the targets out of the hatch." Tony was about to purge the ship, when Peter said, "Wait, we don't need to kill them."
Tony lifted a brow, and said, "That's not what you said last night during your little conversation with the Skrull Queen."
Tony then pulled up the video of what happened, 616 Peter looked at his counterpart with a bit of a disturbed expression.
"What? Yes I tortured her, but this is WAR Peter, you can't be nice to your opposition, besides, she can heal from that kind of damage without any problem. All that stuff about me killing her and her people was mostly a bluff to rile her up. There are times when you should at least learn to act the part, people won't learn their lessons if you just keep slapping them on the wrist."
"Then why did you say that in such a cruel way?" 616 Peter asked.
"People don't change easily, and normally, I'd prefer the more peaceful approach, but since were short on time and every second counts, fearing us is a good start. If we are able to make the entire Skrull Race fear Earth's forces, then do you think the Kree or any other big-time evil alien overlords will come to try and conquer our home any time soon? Even if they do, it would at least give them some pause."
"Then what did you mean by mostly a bluff?" Tony asked.
"The Super Skrull has to die! If he survives this event than, trillions of life forms all across the galaxy will be lost, including countless earthlings as well, he will team up with Thanos and help him acquire a Cosmic Cube. A huge battle will take place over the earth, and as a result, the Cosmic Cube will be fractured and end up in the hands of the Red Skull, who will in return create an evil Steve Roger's copy that was a Hydra Agent from the start, once again sending everyone back into this stupid Civil War B.S."
Peter then looked to everyone as he finished, "If you knew this was going to happen, would you kill? I'm not talking one or two lives Peter, but countless of them."
616 Peter then looked at his hands and then around at them before staring back at his counterpart and saying, "But does it have to be you? You're just a kid!"
"He's right you know, it doesn't have to be you!" Tony replied.
Peter then smiled as he said, "Tony, I've already fought in an invasion war before, and I've killed Chitauri during that time as well, me choosing to kill the Super Skrull is my mercy towards the rest of the Skrull race, and it will avoid an all-out war."
Peter then began to divulge his plan, "The Skrull's see him as an Idol to worship, almost like a God, and if that God falls, then the rest of the Skrull's will lose confidence in the underlying principle that their entire empire is built on. They all think that they are the most supreme beings across all universes. These Skrull's don't think of humans like people at all, if you don't become their slaves, then they will kill off your entire race and steal your planet."
Peter didn't know where this confidence towards his prediction was coming from, it was like he could see the road being paved as he talked about it.
"Is this some kind of effect of the Time Opal has on my Spider-Sense?" he thought to himself.
Peter then turned to Tony and said, "So if you're done testing me, would you please, send the Skrull to the prison I know you've prepared for them?"
Tony laughed, "Smart ass kid." He activated the ships teleportation protocol and transported every last Skrull into the Phantom Prison he designed with Reed Richards.
Peter moved over to the ships navigation center and said, "Okay guy's this is where you get off."
Everyone flinched at Peter as he placed his hand over the console and began using his Symbiote to hack into the system. Within seconds, the Symbiote powered with an overpowered supercomputer broke into the system to locate the Skrull's current based world.
"Peter what are you doing?" Tony noticed that he lost control of the ship's functions.
"Sending a message." Peter responded as he teleported everyone but him back to the earth's surface using the ship's functions.
Peter then sent the ship flying towards the Skrull home world. It would take him a day's travel to reach the planet, and during this time he began to study the ship's technology with great interest.
Back on earth the 616 Peter Parker and company had been transported to the top of Avenger's tower. Peter slammed his fist on the ground and shouted, "Damn it! That little, that me? Damn Me?"
Strange tapped him on the shoulder and said, "He walks a different path than you, look up Peter, your city needs you." as he did Peter saw the city in breaking out into chaos, Skrulls everywhere had their identities ousted and chose to retaliate against their arrests. They were attacking everything in sight.
616 Peter stood up and gripped his fists tightly, "Come on guy's the Avenger's work isn't done yet."
He looked up into the sky and said, "You better come back safe."
The group then sprang into action. They were joined alongside their fellow Avengers and began to thoroughly stomp down this invasion. It took them several hours on nonstop combat to finally quell the war that had begun, and thanks to 616 Peter's power being augmented by the magic of the suit, he managed to subdue a great portion of the invading force almost by himself. His arrest count was so much higher than most that Ironman begged to let him take a look at the suit when they were done.
"Oh no Tony, this is Property of the Parker Family, I don't care if it was me from another universe, what's Parker's will stay Parker's!" Peter replied as he webbed up a group of Skrulls and suffocated them until they passed out.
After moving the webbing aside and letting the Skrull breathe again, he looked back towards the Sky and said, "Still, I hope he doesn't have to kill."
Back on the ship Peter had spread out his Symbiote along the entirety of the spaceship's infrastructure and said, "WOW! I can really take control of the whole thing, Webster you're amazing."
"Thank you, Peter, is there anything else?" Webster asked in response.
"Yes begin the conversion," Peter said as the ship started to rearrange it shape into a more earth-like construct, boasting the size of 5 Hellicarriers combined and the living space that could support up to 5 thousand people, Peter was quite happy with what he nabbed.
He focused all the weapons on this ship and turned them into parts that could enhance his shielding and self-sustaining components to be added at a later time.
Peter laughed a little as he said, "I think I'll keep this ship in my bag of infinite space when I'm done with this.
Realizing he had a lot of time to himself, the hero sat at the bridge while looking out into the vastness of space. The day passed by quickly, and he could feel that connection between him and the Gemstones were leading him on as he approached the planet.
When he broke through the atmosphere of the alien world, a group of flagships belonging to the Royal Family approached his ship.
"Stand down, you are entering unauthorized space, if you proceed then we will have to shoot you down."
Peter raised his hands and started crushing the ships with his metal control and made them nothing more than paperweights flying in the sky as he carried them to the front of the largest structure on the planet.
There, was massive golden castle-like structure shot into the sky, showing the full might of the Skrull Race and their technological prowess. Peter walked out onto the deck of his new ship and stared across the army of approaching Skrulls, ships, platoons, and armadas of machines that surrounded him.
Peter then swiped his hands causing every piece of metal, and the very weapons they carried, to all be crushed into scrapped trash. He floated down and surprised everyone as his ship disappeared into his bag of infinite space.
Walking straight towards the royal chamber's entrance, Spider-Man made sure every person who tried to stop them was webbed up like a fly and stuck to the ground or walls.
With his goal in front of him, he walked over to the large golden doors and kicked them down.
Peter came into an audience room that was surrounded by Skrull politicians and a single elderly Skrull who was wearing a fancy robe and sitting on the throne, "Who dares to interrupt our council?!" Dorrek the VII shouted.
Peter then walked up to the throne chair and said, "An earthling that doesn't care for your invasion."
Dorrek looked over Spider-Man and said, "What nonsense is this?"
"Your stupid invasion force has failed to capture our planet, and now you're suffering the consequences." Peter webbed Dorrek and pulled him over to the ground and stuck his foot over his face before shouting, "Bring out the one you call Kl'rt."
The Royal Guard tried to make their move but was webbed up by Peter's organic webbing and stuck together. Everyone gasped because they couldn't understand what was going on, or how a mere human could be so powerful and know of the existence of their greatest weapon.
"You fool, you dare to challenge the Super Skrull!" Dorrek shouted making Peter push down on his face, making a few cracking noises as the Skrull's face sank deeper into the ground.
"Yes, I came here specifically to end his life."
Peter could feel that space and time starting to split away from the reality that surrounded him. It was as if he was watching a tree grow a new branch.
"A mere Human dares to make a ruckus on my world?!" A deep and powerful voice echoed throughout the chamber, as the crowd started cheering that their superhero had arrived,
"The Super Skrull is here! Now you will know true suffering filthy human."
"We will invade your planet and force you to watch as we drown the earth in human blood, and your closest family and friends are executed in front of the whole society. You will crawl at our feet and worship us or perish like the rest of the worlds that we have conquered." Dorrek Screamed in laughter!
Peter then threw Dorrek onto the wall and webbed him up so he could watch what he was about to do, "So you're the Super Skrull, I'm not impressed."
