Chapter Text
A’ight, my name’s Hakari, Kinji Hakari. I was bitten by a— Wouldn’t you like to know? You know what I mean?
And for the last three years, I’ve been the one and only—
Wait, wait, wait.
Hakari takes off his mask, revealing his hair which was a afro-styled haircut that slicks back. However, his face was hidden with a hand by another mysterious guest.
Oh, there’s my girlfriend. She’s Kirara. She’s back down at headquarters working with the anomalies.
Being Spider-Man’s great. I get to hit and beat guys and girls for free.
That is, when I’m not gambling, antagonizing spies, gambling, gambling, or having a laugh at the pub with my bae.
I’m not a role model. I was briefly a runway model. I hate the A.M. I hate the P.M. I hate liars. I hate labels. I’m not a hero because calling yourself a hero makes you a self-mythologizing, narcissistic autocrat.
“Come on! I thought you hated labels.” Yuji complained. Hakari swings back into the fight, leaving Yuji to swing by himself.
“Fushiguro-kyun, you left your jumper around my place.” Hakari says as he webs Mahito’s face.
“What’s a jumper?” Asked Yuji as he dodges a punch from Mahito.
“It’s a hoodie.” Said Nobara.
“How many hoodies do you have?” Questioned Yuji.
“That’s not mine.” Mumbled Megumi.
“And your toothbrush.” Added Hakari.
“Wait, what?”
Mahito yells as he gets stabbed by Nobara, as she uses her voodoo dolls. He increased his body mass, as well as transforming his upper body grass hopper like.
Hakari ran through the desktops, swinging his guitar to wack Mahito. Megumi jumps down from the floor shadows and uses it as a platform to boost himself.
“Are those my Chelsea boots?” Hakari asks as he noticed his pair on Megumi’s feet.
Megumi attempts to summon his Fleeing Hares, until Mahito morphs them into freakish rabid rabbits. He dodges the rabbits attacks, but gets kicked in the face, hard. Megumi got flung to a wall, rubbing his head in pain.
“Ya’ll make one hell of a team.” Mocked Mahito as he knocks Nobara to the floor with his fist.
“I don’t believe in teams.” Added Hakari.
Mahito grabs Yuji and Hakari, chokes them until Hakari lets rips off Mahito’s arm. The arm lays on the ground, twitching. Yuji locks his legs onto Mahito’s neck, twisting their bodies to catch him off guard. He lays on the ground as the other three try and attack from the back at the same time. Until, Megumi glitches and crashes into Hakari, leaving Nobara to be slapped in the face.
“This is a new trick I’m learning. I call it, Idle Transformation!”
She stumbles on her feet, and feels her face. She looks up at Yuji from afar and smiles.
“That wasn’t so bad.” Those were her last words before her eye explodes through her mask. She screams in pain. Yuji’s eyes widen.
“This is gonna be good for us, Spider-Man.” Chuckled Mahito as Yuji looks back at the two tried to help Nobara up.
“You and me, we’re gonna live up to our full potential.” The collider starts to engage in the sequence. The compartments of the collider start twisting and locking into place.
“You’ll finally have a villain worth fighting. And I won’t just be a joke to you!” Mahito screams as the collider starts. It shoots a vibrant light, various colors spray. Buildings and objects from different universes collide into each other, causing towers of rubble.
Hakari yells at his watch for backup, as Nobara holds her eye. Megumi tries to swing over to Yuji, but the reaction of the collider caused an intense electric spark that hit his face. He rolls and tumbles in pain, gripping onto his mask.
Megumi felt the burning on his eyes, unable to open his right one.
Mahito slowly levitates to the collider, waving goodbye. Right before he emerges within, a web caught him in place.
“You’re not a joke!” Yelled Yuji. He looked down and shook his head. Yuji dangles between the webs he held in his hands, a chain following behind him.
“Right, gang?” Yuji yelled to reassure Mahito.
“Yes. Absolutely.”
“Look at my eye!”
“I don’t believe in comedy! Just kidding!” Added Hakari.
“See? No one here thinks you’re a joke!”
“They won’t after this.” Said Mahito as he elongated his arm and punched Yuji, causing a domino effect. The four tumble on one another, they slowly help each other get up.
The other three stare at Mahito, Nobara sticking the healing serum into herself. Mahito chuckled in aggression, evaporating within the collider.
The four stand there, expecting the collider to explode. Unexpectedly, it just sucked up all the power and objects that combined with one another.
“Wow. That was another easy adventure for Spider-Man—” Exclaimed Hakari.
“No—“No, no—“No, no!” The other three desperately warn him to not jinx them, until the collider erupts with a bright flash.
The impact causes them all to fly away, while Yuji gets a vision. Mahito entered through his mind for a short period of time, showing his past and connection to the multiverse. The spider that never meant to bite him. Then, him destroying Earth-1610’s property, causing Jin to run over and save a child from being crushed. As he recovers the child, the rubble caves in.
Time goes by painfully slow, his mind is flashed with all the potential damage Mahito will do to Yuji. His father.
“What was that..?”
“Our future.” Said Mahito. Yuji grips his arm in pain, as he’s covered in dust and dirt.
“I’m gonna take everything from you, like you took everything from me.”
“What…?” Muttered Yuji.
“See you back home, Spider-Man.” Yuji didn’t notice the falling rubble from the explosion, until Megumi snapped him out of it.
He was hyperventilating. He couldn’t process what he just saw. Hakari thought it was a good idea to punch Yuji in the nose, well it wasn’t. The blood quickly trickled down his lips to his chin He glanced up at Megumi yelling and scolding at Hakari, his ears rung. Megumi tightened his grip on Yuji’s sleeve, crouching down in effort to get him up.
Hakari noticed the roof intensely falling onto the fragile ground, tapping his knuckles onto Megumi’s shoulder.
“You okay? We gotta go.” Said Megumi, but everything Yuji heard was heavily muffled. He could barely stand up, his legs struggled to move.
“Oi, oi, liven up, mate. No time to get dizzy.” Hakari yells as Megumi grabs Yuji’s wrist.
The arm Megumi was supposed to have a watch on was holding Yuji’s arm with the device attached. They run through the obstacles, avoiding the rubble and seeing the bright light from outside.
———
The four watched from high ground, Nobara squinted as she could only see through one eye. The entire Alchemax building collapses i half, people scream and scram.
“We’ll clear the path.” Said Yuji, his mask scruffed and strained in blood.
“You slow down that building.” He hits Hakari’s chest. They dive down, swinging left and right.
“I’ll do it. But not because you told me to.” Hakari yelled.
They avoid the rubble, Megumi and Hakari swing around the building, pulling it tightly to not let it crash.
Yuji and Nobara swing over and web people into their arms, placing them in safe places. Megumi and Hakari pull hard, until the final—
SNAP!
—slowly drops the building. Mahito’s arm quickly morphs back into his full self out of the caging rubble, a wide, wicked grin smears his face. He had come back to finish off Incheonju. The people in their apartments panic, Yuji and Nobara glance at each other and nod.
Yuji slides in through the window, throwing the people out in the air. As the people fall, Nobara quickly webs them into her arms and safely place them down at a safe rooftop. Until, Mahito smooshed their faces, turning them into transfigured humans.
The two slide off the the building, running from Mahito’s poisonous barrier. They reunite with Megumi and Hakari, flying through the air.
The people below scream at the collapsing building, this signals the four to web them to safety. As the rubble crashes into the ground, a bus starts to fall through the hole.
Nobara’s spider-sense triggered, seeing Maki through the window, banging to get out.
Before the bus fully collapses through the ground, Nobara catches it just in time. She hangs onto the crevices of the floor, struggling to keep the bus in her hands.
Yuji places a couple people back to safety. As he looks up to see if he can find anybody else, a hologram of Panda signaled from the watch.
“Megumi, markers are predicting an incoming canon event. So tread carefully.” Yuji quickly turns off the device.
What is a canon event?
Hakari pushed everyone out of the scene with Mai. As they ran, a little girl yelled out for help. She sits there curled in her position, Mai immediately turns back around.
“나 갈게!” Yelled Mai. She pushes through the rubble, carefully calming down the child. Nobara watches from the edge of the bridge, the building pieces started to fall towards their area.
“반장 Mai!” Yelled Nobara, looking back at the bus she desperately held onto.
“I can do both!” She said as she knotted the web onto a piece of metal coming out of the edge. Mahito chuckled at the dire situation, melting back into the crevices of Earth. He knew he had done enough here.
Yuji’s black flash told him there was something happening, he looks down at Mai holding a little girl near piles of rubble. He glanced up at the nearby destroyed roof wiggling loosely.
“I got her, I got her!” Said Yuji as he jumped down.
“Itadori!” Yelled Megumi, holding onto him by his wrist. He suddenly glitches, but still holding tight.
“Stop worrying about me. I know what you’re trying to do.” Yelled Yuji as he looked at Megumi. His eyes held desperateness.
“It’s too dangerous.”
“I’ll be okay, I promise.” Reassured Yuji as he tugs his hand back and dove into the air.
“Yuji!” Yelled Megumi, his hand reaching out. As he held onto the railing, he started to glitch. Yuji swung and carried Mai and the girl, breaking through the rubble. The building fully collapsed, the dust hit the air.
Megumi swung his way toward the disaster, only focusing on finding Yuji. Hakari webs the bus, helping Nobara pull it up from the gaping hole.
“No.” Megumi muttered as he sprinted toward a pile of rubble, aggressively pushing through the heavy objects and artifacts. There was no sighting of Yuji, he panics and swung toward another pile, tearing apart the heavy light posts.
Megumi’s eyes widen in relief, Yuji uncurls as he holds Mai and the little girl close. The two use their strength to push a piece of the Alchemax roof together.
“You’re all right.” Said Megumi.
“I promised.” Said Yuji as he smiled under his mask. Pulling the carrier one last time, Hakari and Nobara successfully places the bus full of people back onto ground.
The passengers carefully leave the bus, Nobara wait for Maki to make her way out. She rushes toward Maki, squeezing her tight into a hug.
“Are you okay? I was so worried. Uh—ahem. I mean, you seem like a nice young women that I do not know.” Coughed Nobara as she patted Maki’s shoulders. Maki’s gaze shifts at her sister, yelling her name and sprinted towards her.
“Maki!” Exclaimed Mai as the two reunited. Megumi looks at Yuji, he glanced back.
“Not bad, right?” Yuji exclaimed as he held the little girl in his arms. Suddenly, a signal came from his watch reading ‘CANON EVENT DISRUPTED’. Megumi grabs his arm and carefully read the warning. He scoffed in frustration.
“I’ve never seen her so calm.” Said Maki as Mai shook Nobara’s hand.
“Good job. You worked hard.” She muttered. Megumi and Yuji stand by, watching the emotion moment. Megumi glances back at Yuji, giving him a proud nod. Nobara stood in the middle between the sisters, touching her chest and bowing.
Yuji reciprocated the gesture, as Hakari pops up behind him.
“Man-like Yuji! My guy!” He exclaimed as he hit his shoulder, then shaking him in excitement. The passengers nearby applauded in gratefulness, congratulating the heroes for their tremendous work.
Nobara walks toward the three, nudging Megumi. Everyone around the area yelled their names, clapping and whistling. The four soak in their greatness, finally catching their breath.
Yuji leans his head toward Megumi, getting close to his ear.
“So, what do you think?”
“What I always think.” Megumi looks back at Yuji, his eyes soften. His mask was smeared with blood, staining cold and stiff.
“You’re amazing.”
