Meanwhile, Vi and Ekko were seen taking a walk through the park. Then a thought occurred to the pink haired woman, turning to the young man.

Vi: Say little man?

Ekko: What's up?

Vi: How exactly did you get powers like that web head on the news?

Ekko frowns.

Ekko: It's quite a long story to talk about...

Vi: Well we have time. Shoot.

Ekko: Well... It started when I was 16, I was visiting New York that time to take in the sights, then as I was looking for some quality tech for my hoverboards in the prototype phase, I was caught by these octopus like machines.

Vi: (raised an eyebrow) You're kidding right? Octopus robots, sounds like a load of bullsh*t.

Ekko: (blunt) You get angry and turn into a gray behemoth, and you say part of my story is bullsh*t?

Vi: .....Touche.

Ekko: I was brought in by this deranged scientist with metal tentacles, Doctor Octopus.

Vi chuckles, she heard about one of Spider-man's villain gallery on the news, some had hilarious names on her part.

Ekko: Me and a few unlucky guys and girls were test subjects for his project of creating his own Spider-Man or woman to bring down the original & his web warriors from what I heard.

Vi: Geez, what else is he gonna try, clones?

Ekko: Eh...

Vi: He did, didn't he?

Ekko: Tried it yes, one rebelled, some went unstable and some died. Using blood samples he acquired from his battles with Spider-Man, he got to work on his victims, including me... Myself along with 5 came out as perfect cross species and well... you don't want to know what happened to the rest.

Vi: What? How worse did the others get than you & the lucky 5?

Ekko winced remembering the remaining test subjects and their horrible fate at the hands of Doc Oct & his acts of madness.

Ekko: I'd rather not say, nearly lost my lunch there. He was going to make us his puppets, arachnid soldiers to cater to his whim. I managed to find a way to escape, fought the mad doctor but he was a persistent smartass, did some damage to his lair to get him to retreat through a self destruct sequence.

Vi: Seeing as you're standing here, you got out.

Ekko: Yeah, got the other 5 and bailed. His base was hidden in the tunnels of the sewers. After all that, the other 5 cross species and I went our separate ways but gave some tabs to keep in touch, not before honing and getting the hang of these spider powers together.

Vi: Heh, surprised you or your friends haven't showed up the hero news prints yet.

Ekko: Meh, just been doing it in secret mostly. Not interested in flashing cameras and reporters in my face.

Vi: At least you don't have some short moustache yelling, short fuse old man who has a hate relationship with the spider of this city. And he's already thinking my Hulk side is "working with the menace."

Before Ekko make a comment, a series of crashes, screams and distorted roars fill in the area. Vi & Ekko look ahead to the far exit of the park, people were running off with fearful expressions, the two were confused and went to investigate the matter and found the source of the civilians' terror. Within the city, webs were everywhere with a horde of shimmer empowered, bizarre & carnivorous spider-men were attacking others & causing chaos, the authorities were aiming to handle it only for the horde to overwhelm with some being webbed up, crushed and/or eaten alive.

Vi: .... These the clones you were talking about in your story?

Ekko: Nope.

One carnivore spider-man clone went to tackle Vi down, the pink haired woman grunts, keeping the rabid clone from trying to bite off her face when it screeches, feeling a sharp edge pierce through it's neck, Vi seeing Ekko's stinger did the job, throws the clone off her. More of those savage spider-men clones lunged at the two, Vi quickly got up and landed a couple solid fists to every clone that attacks, same with Ekko with his attacks and stingers but more of the carnivorous spider-men clones kept coming, replacing each that have been knocked down & killed.

Vi: Ugh! These f**king things are like cockroaches!

Ekko: Where did they even come from?!

More of them begin to swarm Vi, ganging up on her in a large pile.

Ekko: Vi!

Within the growing pile, Vi was seen struggling as the spider-men clones were trying to maul her, her eyes were closed shut with heavily breathing until they opened up, revealing glowing green eyes. Soon, the entire pile of savage arachnids started to expand until they were sent flying followed by a loud roar, Gray She Hulk Vi now unleashed.

Hulk Vi: Okay, who's first?! C'mon!

The shimmer spider-men clones all went at her to attack, using the numbers game to try to swarm, rip and bite at her only for Hulk Vi to retaliate hard in throwing large punches to each clone, followed catching and throwing them while also leveling them earth shattering slams. She even gives Ekko a hand with a vicious thunderclap, Ekko moves out of the way with the clones taking the hit, sent flying.

Ekko: Damn, talk about an infestation.

Hulk Vi heard a creaking sound and looks above to see three spider-men clones breaking the supports beams of a giant billboard as it falls, while seeing civilians cornered by more savage clones, in the way of the falling billboard. Hulk Vi quickly ran towards the group of shimmer spider men, knocking them away, the civilians were scared of her but noticed a shadow looming over them and saw the billboard about to fall on them, they closed your eyes too frozen in fear to move. A loud clang sound was heard, but the civilians opened that eyes to not being squashed but to see Hulk Vi who caught the billboard.

Hulk Vi: Moving day, get out.

The civilians listened and went to safety. Hulk Vi saw a large shimmer spider man running towards her to ram her, the pink haired gamma bruiser uses the billboard to smash the clone into the ground. She gets a shot of webs in her eyes, making her grunt to get the webs off.

Hulk Vi: Aagghh!!

The savage clones take advantage a blind Hulk Vi to attack her, Ekko kicks away a clone and sees Hulk Vi in trouble. He fires some glowing neon green webs of his own at the nearest clones and yanks them away from her. Hulk Vi removed the webs from her eyes, glaring at the shimmer arachnids, raising her fists and slamming them down to send a wave of shattering earth to knock them away.

Hulk Vi: Where are these things coming from?!

Ekko: How the hell should I know?!

A loud roar was heard as Hulk Vi & Ekko look up to see something swinging in the distance, not one but two. It was Spider-Man who was in a swinging brawl against the shimmer empowered monster Deckard, who was the head beast of the hive mind.

Spider-Man: I've met and fought a lot of evil spider-men knock-offs in my days but you seem to be the most crazy!

Deckard: Kill! You!

Spider-Man: (acts scared) Oh no, not the killing! No! NOOOOOOO!!!

Spider-Man dodged the shimmer spider brute and webs his face.

Spider-Man: Gotcha!

Deckard: Grraaaaaaahh!!

Spider-Man hits a strong kick to knock him into the street, hitting the ground with a loud thud. The arachnid hero lands a few away from the downed monster with his guard up, the savage spider-men clones approaching him, he starts to quickly avoid the strikes and tackles to intercept them with web included combo attacks not before noticing Hulk Vi and Ekko fighting the clones too.

Spider-Man: Hey! You're that Gray She-Hulk on the news!

Hulk Vi: And you're the Web Head I've heard. (Punches another clone away)

Spider-Man: (kicks away a clone) I've heard of one She-Hulk but two, now I've seen everything. So what's your story?

Hulk Vi: Smash clones first, talk later! (Throws a clone at a nearby truck)

Ekko: Spider-Man watch out!

Spider-man's senses went off and dodged a strong uppercut from Deckard as Ekko fired the neon green web at the shimmer spider brute's face as the web begins to shock the monster with electricity. The other clones suddenly started shaking and screeched in pain.

Spider-Man: Thanks for the save. And you have spider powers too, huh?

Ekko: Yeah, got 'em from a crazy, metal tentacle armed scientist. Me and 5 others escaped him.

Spider-Man knew he was talking about Doctor Octopus.

Spider-Man: Same Doc Oct. The battles, crazy experiments & dissection he's tried to put me through, not pleasant.

Ekko: I hear that.

Spider-Man then noticed the clones in pain, getting a suspicious look when looking at Deckard who was electrocuted by Ekko's web.

Hulk Vi: What's wrong with them?

Spider-Man: Hmmmm... Hey, shoot an electric web at him again.

Ekko: Fine.

As Deckard got the electric web off his face, huffing and growling angrily, Ekko shots another neon green web at his face again, shocking him again while roaring. Spider-Man then saw the clones grab their heads, screeching and roaring in pain as well.

Spider-Man: Of course, He's the main general, the center of million bodies with an alpha mentality-

Hulk Vi: Get to the point, Web Head!

Spider-Man: These spider-men clones are running on pure instinct and won't stay down no matter how much you guys put them down. We'll be fighting them forever until we get tired out & get eaten. This spider brute (points to Deckard) is the alpha, the center that controls these other carnivorous spider-men like a hive mind.

Ekko: So similar to common bugs like Ants and Bees.

Spider-Man: Exactly. Like Ants and Bees, they work autonomously under the head insect in charge. Without a king or queen to guide or control them, the hive army is lost or with this Alpha Spider Brute...

Ekko: ... The spider army falls.

Hulk Vi: So we take out the big bad spider bastard and the whole horde goes down, huh? (Cracks her knuckles) Leave him to me.

Spider-Man: Whatever you say, Gray Shulky.

Hulk Vi: (glares at Spider-Man) Don't push it...

Ekko: We'll keep the savage spider ripoffs busy while ya knock the head ring general off his pedestal.

Tearing the electric web off a second time, Deckard was raging bull mad at Spider-Man, Hulk Vi and Ekko!

Deckard: Kill the two! Spider-Man, Kill!

The carnivorous spider-men snarled/screeched ferociously.

Spider-Man: Here they come! You know what to do!

Ekko got his metal stingers ready while Hulk Vi puts up her fists, following Spider-Man's lead in advancing against Deckard and his shimmer spider horde.

******

Meanwhile in another area of New York, Hulk Jinx and Volt landed in a nearby rooftop of a factory after the whole chaotic run, shoot and smash fiasco. Volt retreats back into Luke.

Volt: Ah, I never felt so alive in a long time, Luke! We should do this more often, ripping through bodies and eating their heads.

Luke: Not... gonna make any promises with the body ripping & eating of heads unless someone messes with us.

Luke then received a hard pat on the back, nearly knocking the wind out of him from Hulk Jinx.

Hulk Jinx: That was fun, I usually do this alone or with Titania but with you, it was a playground of chaos!

She laughs as she shrunk down height & body, reverting back to her normal form.

Jinx: Phew. So, you hungry?

Jinx pulls out a box of pizza.

Luke: Eh, I'll try a slice.

The two sat down for a slice of pizza.

Jinx: Mmmm, not bad.

Luke: I don't mind the four meats.

Jinx: Mmhmm. So... Whatta you think of seeing my gamma form for the first time...?

Luke swallowed a bite of his pizza and looked at Jinx.

Luke: Well... From the story you told me of how you enter that Hulk form upon anger was something but never thought a bullet shot would trigger it. Volt & I actually thought you kicked the bucket.

Jinx: Pfft! Yeah, my hulk form pretty much keeps me from dying so easily to shots, stabs, explosives, etc. Comes out during me getting angry, stressed and (mutters) crazy...

Luke: So killing you is nearly impossible.

Jinx: As the Leader pointed out, probably. A horned helmet Viking tried to put me down after failing to control me.

Luke: Horned helmet Viking? You really are crazy there.

Jinx: (frowns) I'm serious, it was a Viking or Asgardian-something, a sneaky, conniving mischief god. What was his name... (Tapping her chin) Lori? No. Lofi? No. Lexi? Nah. Luffy? Naw, wrong. Hmmm... Ah, Loki! That's the name!

Loki? Luke heard of the name in Norse History during his school days & a thought occurred to him seeing the actual being in question on the news before his powers awakened. Loki, the trickster, prince of darkness, the Asgardian God of Mischief and the half brother of Avenger & Asgardian God of Thunder, Thor.

Luke: Wait a minute.... So you fought the actual Loki?

Jinx: Yeah, during one of my daily hunts, he found me, wanting me to join him for world conquest yada yada yada, off with his brother's head and blah blah blah... said no, didn't give me a choice and tried to control me, I went ballistic and mauled the horn headed bastard.

Luke: Yeesh, you killed him?

Jinx: No, he got away but I did enough damage for him to get the message to stay out of my head...

Luke: Wow... That's hardcore.

Jinx: Heh, hardcore like an exploding flame chomper.

Luke: For you go one on one with the God of Mischief and survive, it's a miracle...

Jinx tilted her head to the left, looking at Luke with a creepy smile.

Jinx: Not a miracle... but a monster...

Luke: ....

Volt: I think she wants to devour us. We should leave! Immediately!

Luke: Volt. Stop.

Jinx chuckles.

Jinx: Don't worry, you two. You're in good hands as I told you. I won't bite... hard.

Jinx suddenly claps her hands over her mouth with eyes as big as dinner plates, that wasn't her voice. It sounded like that particular female voice in her head back at the hotel, it clouded the other voices which only sounded in murmurs & whispers.

Luke: You okay?

Jinx; (chuckles nervously) Y-Yes of course I am, why wouldn't I be?! I just love the excitement, love the chaos & the thrill with you at my side, so goooood~.

Jinx covered her mouth again, starting to panic silently.

Luke: Okay... Now you're starting to creep me out there...

Volt: Hmmmmm... Are you sick or something strangeling?

Jinx ignored them, getting up to walk away in the other direction of the rooftop, what was going on with her?! She's used to hearing voices in her head but one of the voices coming out of her mouth? That was new to her.

Jinx: (in her thoughts) What is this...? That voice wasn't mine? Since when can one of the voices in my head speak from my mouth?

???: (in Jinx's head) Because I'm not just a particular voice...

Jinx yelped, looking around frantically, ignoring Luke's call to her, the visions were getting more realistic, bizarre & distorted like, Jinx was clutching her head, her finger digging into her hair with rapid breathing.

Jinx: Stop... Stop it now!!

???: I told you Jinx... You will know about me very very soon...

Jinx: Ah!

Jinx then spots her arms, veins were becoming more visible with a slight glow but mismatched in blue veins on the right and pink veins in the left as they were spreading to her body. Jinx choked on her own breath, falling on her back and clutching her neck, both eyes glowing.

Jinx: (in her thoughts) What's happening to me?! What are you?!

???: Poor little jinx, unable to tell reality from illusions... Trapped within your personal thoughts where the haunting voices and screams of your victims is unavoidable but it's like music to my ears... But don't worry, I'll savor your pain & turn it into a force we'll both relish in... to thrive upon true chaos, Jinx... Jinx... Jinx...

JINX!

The strange voice faded away, along with the pain as Jinx was brought back to reality, seeing Luke.

Jinx: ...!

Luke: Geez, you looked like you were having a seizure. Are you okay?

Jinx tried to speak but nothing came out, still shook. That voice... It sent chills down her spine more than the others, whatever it was, something tells the blue haired mercenary that there's more to this than ever, what if another one of her episodes is playing tricks on her or is something deep inside her planning to take her over?

Luke: Jinx?

Jinx saw Luke's expression full of confusion, worry and concern. Jinx didn't want to scare her new friend away with what just occurred.

Jinx: It's N-Nothing bad... Just had an episode.

Luke: Traumatic events?

Jinx nodded.

Luke: Oh, my bad.

Jinx: Don't be, it's not your fault. Hell, I'd help you if you had a freak out like that.

Volt: You couldn't handle the amount of panic attacks and freak outs Luke had. You'd get stabbed and zapped.

Jinx: Heh, try me.

Then a blaring sensation went off in Jinx's head, it surprised her but it felt like a warning.

Jinx: Look out!

Jinx pushes Luke down, avoiding a flying projectile which hit the wall. The two saw the projectile stuck on the wall, a slightly large knife. A creepy crackle reached their ears, turning around to see a slightly tall man with fair skin, short spiky black hair, dull gray eyes with bags under them, slight fangs, a scar going down his left lip to the lower chin, a slight skinny figure with a bit of athleticism along with some scars on his upper body. He wears white & red trim jacket, black shirt, white cargo pants, belt with two knives in holsters & black boots.

Luke: Who are you supposed to be?

???: Hehehehe... Hehehehe...

Jinx: Hey Jolly Chuckles, who are you?

???: I'm Brad, the leech killer hehehe, I'm here for you ghost hare...

He pointed the knife at Luke.

Luke: I don't know what you want but if you plan on trying to kill me, better people than you have tried.

Brad: (deranged smile) Oh Nonono, as much as I want to see the light leave your eyes as I draw and drink the sweet nectar that is your blood... I'm afraid you're needed alive...

Luke: Alive?

Brad: The life Foundation has paid splendidly for your capture... Heheheheh...

Luke had a low snarl escape his lips, eyes glowing with electricity.

Brad: And it's too good to pass up, while I can't kill you, I'll savor each twitch and each scream as I deprive you of your energy to move, hahaha...

Brad slowly approached him but Jinx pulls out her machine gun Pow Pow to shoot rapid bullets at the creepy mercenary, who would run quickly with a crazed chuckle to avoid the shots. He started running towards the two, jumping up and pulls out two knives to slash jinx only for Luke fires a beam of electricity to shock him away to the ground.

Jinx: Thanks.

Luke: Don't mention it.

The two heard Brad laughing at the pain as he slowly got up with a twitch from the electricity surrounding him.

Brad: Quite shocking, hehehehe... Oh this is good.... I want more of this...

Luke: Okay, he's enjoying this far more than I'm creeped out.

Jinx: Okay now he's starting to annoy me.

Jinx pulls out a couple of bombs, unclipping & coating them in blue energy and throws them at Brad who smiles as the bombs exploded in a massive blue light. Jinx and Luke jumped across to land on another building.

Jinx: That takes care of the blood craving lunatic.

???: Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Luke: Spoke too soon.

Jinx glared at the blue fires with an annoyed growl, spotting a shadowy silhouette walking out of the flaming debris. Brad was grinning like a maniac with the burn marks slowly healing.

Brad: This feels so good... Those bombs, packed quite the energy, sweet sweet sweeeeeeet energy! Hahahahaha

Luke allowed Volt to engulf his body, transforming into his Symbiote form.

Volt: Looks like he's a blood & pain fanatic, let's see how much he can takes!

He fires a double beam of electricity at Brad, who raised his hands which suddenly enlarged in bright red/red orange hands to catch the blasts, to Volt's surprise upon seeing his electricity absorbed.

Volt: The hell?!

Jinx: Is he a mutant too?

Brad: Ya see Luke, you're not the only one with an alien friend under your skin.

Brad laughs maniacally as he started to transform right before Volt & Jinx's eyes, he was not a 8 ft tall Symbiote monster with three jagged white eyes, bright red & orange red tendril skin, razor sharp teeth & a large muscular body. The most horrifying thing about him was the mouths with jagged sharp teeth on the palm of his claws.

Volt: Oh sh*t!

Jinx: He's like you & gross, he's got mouths on his hands.

Brad/???: We are Extract, and we will siphon the blood and life energy from your bodies, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Extract forms tendril wings and lunged at Volt and Jinx, who got ready to take on the Symbiote psycho.

******

Spider-Man and Ekko were back to back in fighting as much shimmer spider-men clones while keeping civilians from getting caught in the crossfire.

Spider-Man: (attacking) Gotta say, these spider-men are as hungry as piranhas at an all you can shred buffet, what's on the menu because sea spider kabobs are pretty much closed!

Ekko: (attacking) You sure like to make puns and quips during a fight, don't you?

Spider-Man: It's a gift and a full of habit.

Both Spider-Man and Ekko shot webs at the two nearest shimmer spider-men clones and begins to swing them around to hit each clone down before the two collided with each other. They would try and take out the large, heavy hitter shimmer spider clones with quick thinking and maneuvers to cause them to make a mistake like crashing into something or using their size against them while webbing them up.

But no matter how many carnivorous spider-men clones they take out, more would show up to cause more damage for them, the civilians and the city but Spider-Man and Ekko didn't let up in trying to keep them in line from harming anyone until Vi takes out the alpha of the shimmer spider horde.

Speaking of whom, Hulk Vi and Alpha Spider Brute Deckard were trading hard hitting blows with each other. Deckard caught Hulk Vi's fist and proceeded to hit her with a big right, making her spit out blood & hit the ground as the shimmer empowered monster would repeatedly hammer away at her, forming a crater underneath, he grabs a nearby car, lifts it up to slam it down on Hulk Vi before throwing it to a nearby hot dog stand, destroying it.

He roars in her face. She only spits blood in his face, glaring.

Hulk Vi: Tch! Is that all you've got?!

Deckard: Grraaaaaaahh!!!!!

He was about to land another blow only for Hulk Vi to nail a kick in the gut to send him flying. Getting up and running after him, Hulk Vi grabs a nearby a light pole to rips it out of the ground, Deckard managed to land on his feet but gets caught with a light pole across the head, a couple of glowing purple saliva, blood & some teeth came out from the impact. Throwing the pole aside, Hulk Vi delivered a couple of boxing style heavy strikes to the face and gut of Deckard, who would roar to fire back in vicious haymakers. Hulk Vi took the hits with grunts escaping her lips before going for a vicious left hook but Deckard opens his mouth wide, firing a pink-ish purple web shot to Hulk Vi's face, blinding her.

Hulk Vi: Rggghh!! F**k!!

Deckard roared and struck Hulk Vi across the face, knocking her down as he called some shimmer spider-men clones to join him in trying to tear her apart, Hulk Vi fought back but was at a disadvantage with her entire face covered in webbing, unable to see where and who was hitting as Deckard and his hive shimmer spider horde swarmed her immensely, webbing her up to brutalize their hulk meal before aiming to devour her.

Spider-Man and Ekko saw Hulk Vi was in trouble but more shimmer spider men blocked their path, preventing them from reaching the struggling pink haired woman. As Deckard and his horde descend more on Hulk Vi....

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

A few shimmer spider men went down from shots to the heads, alerting Deckard and the clones on the struggling Hulk Vi as something small & round landed near them.

Deckard: Huh?

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beeeeeep!!!!

BOOM!!!

Deckard and his pack were sent flying and crashed in different directions and places from the firing impact of the grenade. Hulk Vi was still attempting to rip the webs off her when she felt a cold steel cutting through the webbing near her skin but it didn't cut her. Her body was free as the webs on the face and eyes were cut open, Hulk Vi looking up at Caitlyn.

Caitlyn: (stern stare) Trouble seems to start when you're present, doesn't it?

Hulk Vi rose to her feet, spitting blood to the side of the cracked road.

Hulk Vi: (sarcastic) Tch! Oh yeah, I just happened to be walking by when a horde of spider-freaks start tearing up half the city.

Five shimmer spider-men clones leaped in to pounce on Caitlyn who quickly turned around to shoot them down with her double pulsars, dropping them like flies. Hulk Vi whistle, color her impressed.

Hulk Vi: Nice shot, Cupcake.

Caitlyn: For the last time, stop calling me that!

Hulk Vi: (chuckles) You know I'm not gonna stop, right?

Caitlyn points her pulsar at Hulk Vi.

Hulk Vi: Whoa, calm the f**k down. You're only gonna waste your shot on me-

Caitlyn pulled the trigger and fired but to Hulk Vi's surprise, it didn't hit her but the shot hit Deckard, who tried to attack from behind as he roared in irritation and slight pain.

Spider-Man: Heads up!

Hulk Vi and Caitlyn see Spider-Man leaping in to launch and hit Deckard with a solid right fist to the face, knocking him down to one knee but he didn't completely fall.

Spider-Man: Man, what is he made of, Adamantium?

Deckard roared and charged at them but Ekko jumps in, firing neon green webs at him to shock, he yells loudly as the horde follows.

Caitlyn: The clones are...

Spider-Man: Feeling pain like the big bad spider fake, yeah. He needs to go down in order for the clones to be destroyed.

Ekko: Then let's focus mainly on the big guy, to take him out.

Caitlyn: I'll put some distance between us and the clones to give you a fair shot.

Hulk Vi: And knock the spider brute right on his ass.

Spider-Man: Everyone ready. Okay, now break!

Deckard and his shimmer spider men all charged at the four in another swarm formation. Caitlyn begins to fire bullets after bullets to each clone to the head with Ekko's help of ensnaring them in electric webbing while Spider-Man and Hulk Vi would strike any clone that moves before taking the fight to Deckard.

Deckard: Kill!!!!! Spider-Man!!!!

Spider-Man: You want me so bad, well here I come!

Spider-Man would counter & dodge Deckard's hard hitting offense and brute strength, webbing him up and going for a flurry of combo strikes to the shimmer spider alpha. Deckard soon broke free and went to punch Spider-Man but he dodged & does a "tag-in", Hulk Vi catching the punch.

Hulk Vi: You & I have unfinished business, jackass!

Deckard went for another solid fist only for Hulk Vi catch the other fist, landing a large knee to Deckard's jaw, making him stumble forward as Hulk Vi stayed on him, landing more punches to the shimmer spider brute before hitting an uppercut to Deckard but he didn't go flying as Hulk Vi caught him by the ankle and begins to repeatedly slam him into the ground as the earth shook. She then threw him up in the air, Caitlyn took her sniper pulsar, took a good aim and fired at the chest of Deckard, while he didn't die from it, he grunts in pain mix with the damage he got from Vi. Still falling, Deckard saw a string of webs followed by Spider-Man and Ekko swinging in to land an effective double kick to the spider alpha to send him hurdling to the ground with a loud thud.

Deckard groaned from the damage, the shimmer spider brute barely opening his eyes to see something jumping into the air and coming in for a hot landing like a missile, his eyes widened as it wasn't a missile but Hulk Vi.

Hulk Vi: Vi SMASH!!

She brought down her fist and slammed it deep into Deckard's face, the impact causing the fist to go through the skull, breaking apart with shimmer blood to flow with Deckard's head popping like a grape, killing him and forming a large crater underneath. With the alpha shimmer spider brute now a headless corpse, the entire horde of shimmer spider clones begin to spasm outta control with agony filled screeches and roars before they fell to the ground like dominos, now lifeless corpses in the streets.

The civilians saw the rampage was over, letting out a loud cheer for Spider-Man as well as for Hulk Vi, Caitlyn and Ekko, who puts his hood up to cover his face, not doing paparazzi. Later, the webs, the corpses of the shimmer spider alpha & clones were disposed of, Spider-Man, Hulk Vi, Caitlyn and Ekko were seen on the rooftop of a high skyscraper as J. Jonah Jameson was rambling again as usual on the big screen.

J. Jonah Jameson: So after a bizarre chains of events that lead to a near Spider-Man-ish carnivore apocalypse, the wall crawling menace along with this pink haired She-Hulk are called heroes for stopping these savage web slingers. But who's really the hero, huh?! How do we know Spider-Man wasn't the one who created these identical monstrosities to make himself look good in the face of our public city & it's people?! Well he's not fooling me one bit!

Spider-Man: Honestly, I can't catch a break with him.

Caitlyn: Don't bother with him, getting a rise out of you is what he & many negative publicity wants, to prove them right.

Spider-Man: Heh, well thanks for the advice and help. I see Fury sent you cause I was in trouble?

Caitlyn: Actually, I'm here by order of Director Fury to keep an eye on her.

She points to Hulk Vi.

Spider-Man: Oh I see. So what's your story?

Hulk Vi: Well ya see...

One story later...

Spider-Man: Whoa, you're hulk's daughter?!

Hulk Vi: Yeah. And no, he doesn't know I'm here. Until I find my sister, I'm not concerned with going to see him just yet.

Spider-Man: This is just so sudden that the big guy, the strongest avenger has a daughter, let alone two.

Hulk Vi: (Deadpan) Yeah. Shocking.

Spider-Man: (To Ekko) And you were great out there too. Ever thought about joining the Web warriors?

Ekko: Not really but you ever need me, I'll be around.

Spider-Man: Got it. Love to stay and chat more but I gotta head out. See ya....

Hulk Vi: Vi.

Spider-Man: Vi? That's your name, short for vicious or violence? Am I right, hehe?

Hulk Vi: I will throw you across Queens.

Spider-Man: Right, right. Sorry. See ya around.

Spider-Man jumps off the building and web swings off. Hulk Vi sighs and shrinks down to her normal form while Caitlyn turns to walk away.

Vi: Cait, where ya going?

Caitlyn: I'm going to take my leave to report back to S.H.I.E.L.D. of this event. The scientists there could make quite an analysis for this substance from the spider-men clones.

She holds up vials of shimmer.

Vi: (smirks) Thanks for the help, Cait. Didn't know you cared.

Caitlyn: (stern scowl) I'm only doing my job, to keep an eye on you and make sure you stay out of trouble, simple rogue. As soon we get more leads to find jinx, we'll be out of each other's hair.

Vi glares at Caitlyn.

Caitlyn: And I haven't forgotten about your way of... helping her. Hopefully, it won't backfire otherwise, I won't hesitate to bring her in or down...

Caitlyn jumps off the building, activating her jet pack and flying off. Once she was gone, Vi looks down thinking if she made the right decision on teaming with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent? She really hopes in trying to find & reason with Powder (Jinx), to make up for her actions or her little sister will end up behind heavily armored bars.

Vi snaps out of her thoughts when she felt a hand on her shoulder, turning to Ekko.

Ekko: Hey, don't let her get ya down. Let's head back.

Vi: Right. But you're driving.

Vi wraps her arms around Ekko's neck from behind.

Ekko: Hey, I'm not an Uber web swinger!

Vi: Ha!

Vi laughs as she held on to Ekko, who swings off. Unaware to all, Sevika was seen from another rooftop. After losing sight of Jinx, she and Titania split up to find her but Sevika found Vi and company fighting the entire shimmer spider men horde, getting everything via holo-screen in her bionic arm.

Sevika: So Vi wants to see her sister so bad, I got a little something that'll interested the little Jinx.

******

Meanwhile, Jinx and Volt were fighting Extract. The Symbiote clad deranged killer was taking everything the two were throwing at from Volt's electric shocks to Jinx's machine gun (Pow Pow) rapid fire shots. Extract laughed insanely and charged forward, grabbing Volt by the neck before running towards Jinx, who was still shooting at him, grabbing her by the neck too.

Jinx: Ngh!

Extract: Going down, Hahahahaha!!

He runs to the edge of the rooftop and jumps off the tall building, holding both Volt and Jinx in his big sharp claws, plummeting farther down until they crashed through the roof into a museum, creating a large crater beneath Volt & Jinx. Extract threw Volt through multiple valuable vases before turning his attention to Jinx.

Extract: So... The target has a little friend....

Extract cuts her cheek, extended his slime coated tongue to lick the blood on the side of Jinx's face, much to her disgust. The blue haired young woman retorts by spitting in his face, which angered the Symbiote monster who uses his free hand to slug Jinx before both hands wrapped around her throat to choke.

Extract: So you're one of those feisty ones, I LIKE IT!

Jinx grunts while grabbing Extract's claws, her eyes glowing green with anger, slowly entering her hulk state. But she gasps, feeling something off...

Extract: Yesssssssssssss~....

Jinx: Aaaaauuugggghh...

He lifts Jinx up, still choking her as she entered her hulk form, trying to get loose by landing a few punches to the Symbiote monster who proceeded to throw her through some priceless statues, shattering them. Landing on her back with a groan, Hulk Jinx reemerges with a glare but she felt woozy for a bit. She shook it off and charges at Extract with hands glowing with blue energy to pummel the deranged Symbiote beast.

Extract laughs despite being hit, taking a right uppercut and a leaping slam from Hulk Jinx, who grabs his legs and throws him towards the recovered Volt, who comes in with an electric punch to face followed by a chain of mixed martial combo of attacks from Luke's knowledge Volt was using against Extract. The deranged monster stumbled back a few feet with Volt and Hulk Jinx closing in on him with a double electric/energy punch, Extract grins maliciously and caught the double fists on sheer impact, keeping a hard grip.

Hulk Jinx: H-Hey!

Volt: Let go you blood crazy bastard!

Extract: Now why would I do that? You both have different kinds of energy. So full of power, so full of life.....!

Volt and Hulk Jinx felt woozy and tired all of sudden, Extract grins with wide sharp fangs...

Hulk Jinx: What... What is this...? What are doing...?

Volt: (realizes) You're siphoning our life force!

Extract: (laughs crazily) Ding! Ding! Ding! Motherf**kers!!! Tied to my lust for blood, this energy crave is quite the feeling, I get stronger with every life I take away while I watch the life leave my victim's eyes, so exhilarating...

Hulk Jinx hit a low blow kick to the Symbiote's crotch, the beast let out an ear piercing screech as the two broke away from him. Extract quickly recovered and glared at them.

Extract: A low blow, hmmm? Not very good going for the family jewels, so.... (Glares at Hulk Jinx) I'll gonna kill you first.

Extract sends a wave of tendril blades to Hulk Jinx, who barely dodged it, getting a few cuts on her, she winced. Extract grins and sends another attack of tendril blades at Hulk Jinx but it was blocked by Volt with his own tendril blade.

Volt: The strangeling stays alive, you crazy f**k!

Hulk Jinx: ....!

Extract: (fakes being an upset child) Damn it, father you never let me have any fun!

Volt runs at Extract to tackle him down, hammering at him with bladed fists, wanting to end the deranged monster who wanted to take him back to the life foundation, they didn't want to go back & never will back, both Volt and Luke would fight for their lives to keep away from their prison as well as protect their first friend in Jinx. He would rip and maul Extract who was screeching and laughing at the pain, Volt was about to deliver the finishing blow, he received a solid blade to the left through the neck.

Hulk Jinx: NO!!!

Volt grunts as Extract rose to his feet, lifting the electric symbiote up by the blade in his neck.

Extract: Congratulations you gave me quite a few cuts and bruises there, gotta love that pain, hahaha! But we both know I'm stronger than you, ashame I can't kill you but I can do this!

Extract wraps his other hand around Volt's throat and would drain him, the Symbiote and Luke were heard screaming in pain with the mouth palms biting into them while siphoning their electric and life force, much to Hulk Jinx's horror. She wanted to stop him but the voices returned, keeping her frozen.

What are you waiting for?

Not gonna help your friend? Of course not, you only care about you.

He's only a pawn to you.

You're no hero.

Doesn't matter to you whose life you'll ruin, little jinx.

If he does somehow live, he'll wonder why you didn't save him & see you as a coward, a plague, a jinx.

He'll leave you! 

He will, like your dear 'sister.'

Weak.

So Weak!

Nothing but a weak little JINX!

Hulk Jinx fell to her knees, clutching her head with her teeth grit, muttering "Shut up" over and over to silence them but they wouldn't cease in her psychotic mind. The loudest scream of Luke & Volt cut Hulk Jinx out of her thoughts, then pure silence. She turns and sees Extract now holding Luke with bits of Volt on him now, paler and heavily drained, even the bloody wound that was on Volt was on Luke but not fatal enough to kill as Extract wanted him alive.

Hulk Jinx: L-Luke...?

Extract: Oh don't be so down, blue. He's still alive but barely. At least I saw the life leave his eyes to the brink of unconsciousness, not to death though but still it's a close second.

Extract extended the hand holding Luke and sticks him to the wall, trapped in a giant tendril claw the deranged monster separates from his body, forming a new free claw.

Extract: (to the unconscious Luke) Don't go anywhere~! (To Hulk Jinx) And you, I have no problem killing.

Hulk Jinx lunged at him, grabbing Extract and proceed to run in slamming through each art and historical exhibit walls before throwing him into a tyrannosaurus rex skeleton, making it collapse to the ground in pieces. She begins to form an energy construct of her machine gun Pow Pow and rapids rapid bullets at Extract, not giving him any time to recover or to absorb anything, yelling angrily to obliterate Extract.

Smokes and fires of blue light engulfed almost half of the museum, everything blown to kingdom come until a shadow launched itself out of the fires and at Hulk Jinx, knocking the giant mercenary into the ground. On top of her was Extract, driving his claws into her, earning a pained scream from Hulk Jinx, drawing blood from her wounds. Extract begins to choke her while draining her gamma energy.

Extract: Ah such tremendous amount of energy, so delicious! Gamma right? I thought that stuff was highly radioactive to melt someone's insides, then again there's a lot of monsters with gamma energy in them, guess I got a live one! Hahahahahaha!

Hulk Jinx snarls and attempted to get Extract off her but more she fought, the faster he begins to drain her energy while tightening the grip around her throat.

Hulk Jinx: Aaaauuuuuhhh...

Extract: Awww, ran out of fight? I thought gamma energy was supposed to be boundless, no limits but I guess I got a weak monster.

Hulk Jinx slowly shrinks down to her normal form as Extract didn't let go, wanting to suck Jinx dry of her gamma and life force.

Extract: But I'll make use of it, (smiles wide, showing sharp fangs) this gamma energy is just choking you... Can you feel it? Your life departing from you...?

Jinx silently whimpered, her eyes rolling back. Extract was taking everything from her, she was getting weaker and weaker and weaker by the second. She was going to die, Luke and Volt were going to be taken away, she'll never see them again. Never see The leader, Titania or even Vi again. Her consciousness was fading as she could barely see Extract removed one hand and morphed it into a blade, ready to pierce the helpless jinx's heart. She can hear the voices again, saying this is what she deserves, let it be her end, to die like the screw up, pathetic and weak jinx that she was.

Extract: I hope more of your blood tastes as good as your energy...

Jinx: (in her mind) No! No! No! I can't die like this! I can't... can't... I need to show them... I want to show them... show them all that I'm not weak! I won't be... WEAK!!!

Slice!

Extract: Hmmm?

He saw Jinx caught the blade tendril bloody hand & all. And with a sudden force, she pushed him back. The deranged Symbiote looks at Jinx, who slowly got to her feet.

Extract: Still got some fight, hmmm?

A creepy, distorted giggle escaped Jinx's lips, a smile most unpleasant stretched across her face, looking up with her eyes glowing but while they were green, the pupils were a mismatched of blue and pink.

'Jinx/???': Jinx jinx jinx, don't tell me this is all you've got? You didn't even know he absorb only a measly percent of your power & you pass out like this? You really are a lost, broken one...

Extract was confused as jinx's skin showed glowing blue and pink veins followed by black ooze started to sprout and spread all over her body.

'Jinx/???': But that's okay... I'll take the lead, I'll show this pest who's stronger & more crazy, sleep now and LET. ME. ROAM. FREEEEEEEEEEE~~~~!!!!

'Jinx/???' laughs menacingly and loudly, starting to reshape from the growing ooze and transforming into a giant size glowing pod before Extract's eyes.

Extract: So she has an alien friend too, how come I couldn't detect it? Ah, who cares? More fun for me~.

Within the pod, within the body and finally the fractured mind of Jinx, a large stream of black, glowing blue and pink tendril ooze of the symbiote was traveling through a bizarre shattered mirror landscape, passing a cage containing the unconscious Hulk Jinx and heading towards another cage in shadows, showing another Hulk visage in darkness, the Symbiote entered the cage and merged with the second hulk visage of Jinx, opening it's mismatched eyes, roaring & breaking the cage open, now free.

Outside, the pods breaks with cracks of glowing blue & pink light forming until it finally destroys itself with great force, catching Extract as the large figure emerged in the bizarre hue. It was Jinx but under the influence of this Symbiote that has merged with the second hulk in her mind with a different change.

She grew to the height of 9 ft 9, her eyes are green but her pupils are mismatched; right pupil glowing blue & left pupil glowing pink, sharp fangs & gains a bigger & voluptuous bulky figure. Jinx's skin remains the same but the Symbiote alters her attire & forms a sleeveless/backless/strapless slim black bodysuit with mismatched blue/pink X marks on her huge suit clad breasts, a pink X on the left & a blue X on the right, long sleeve black gloves with pink/blue tendril marks with sharp claws & black tendril marks to form on her face cheeks & around her eyes.

The Symbiotic Hulk form of Jinx looks at herself, an impressed, aroused and deranged grin adorning her face, feeling new energy coursing through her.

'Jinx/???': Ahhhhhhh... This feels so gooooood~, now this is POWER~!

The right hand glowed blue and the left hand glowed pink as she raised her strong arms up and slammed them into the ground, creating an overgrowing crater of blue/pink energy, the force sending Extract back into a wild frenzy, crashing through wax figure statues before being halted by a giant tendril hand from the Symbiotic Hulk form of Jinx, greatly pulling him closer to her and executes an energy coated fist to the face/stomach, a series of cracking bones in snaps was heard as he was flying across the room, making a large hole outside.

Extract: So she's gotten stronger, no matter. I'll drain her again and this time-

'Jinx/???: You'll what?

Extract's three eyes widened and immediately front flipped away to the Symbiote Hulk was standing behind him, how exactly? With that much speed for now & way off his senses to detect, he wondered?

Extract: Oh you're fast too, hehehehe! This could very fun, I'll gonna chop you down to sizes!

Extract forms tendril axes and took a swing at Jinx/???, who caught the tendril axe with little effort in one hand. Extract grins maliciously and swings the other axe but Jinx/??? caught that one too with little effort, gripping them both and starts spin them around, bringing Extract along for the ride of a twister. Moment later, she released Extract with a throw, making hit a nearby row of trees. Jinx/??? forms blue/pink energy & black ooze construct of a chomper and threw it in the direction Extract landed, a massive explosion of blue and pink erupted followed by an inhuman screech.

Jinx/??? grinned as a chuckle of sadistic glee. Soon, she stood there unfazed by the form of Extract limping out of the fires of the explosion with a pained expression with major damages from the attack, slowly healing while glaring at the Symbiotic Hulk form of Jinx.

Extract: Who are you? As I recall, Jinx is your host's name, right? Is she still there or are you the parasite puppeteer in charge? Which. Is. It?

'Jinx/???': Jinx is taking a little nap right now, as for me.... You may call me, Hex~.

Extract: So Hex... Thanks for giving me your name, I'll remember that when I rip out your skull & use it as a mug to chug down your blood!

Forming tendril blades and razor sharp tentacles, Extract lunges at Hex, firing a gatling of blade strikes and sharp tentacles stabs and whips. Hex took each hit as her grin grew from each attack thrown at her before grabbing the sharp tentacles and proceeded to knee Extract in the gut, flip him over his back and repeatedly slams him into the ground, forming craters underneath with each blow.

Hex: Yes, Yes, Yesssssse~. Hurt for me. Bleed for me. SCREAM FOR ME~!

She takes Extract and lifts him over her head and slams him back first into her knee. A sickening crack was heard with Extract screaming.

Extract: AAAAAAAAGGGGHH!!!!

Hex: Yeah, that's what I like to hear! Scream some more, hehehehahaha!!

Hex begins to run fast while dragging Extract around in the dirt, face first in leaving a trail. He then then picked up with a tight grip around the neck.

Hex: Going up~!

Hex hyper jumps in the air, holding Extract by the throat as he tries to claw at her to release him.

Extract: Release me! I'll destroy you! I will make a buffet with your body parts! I will carve a fountain out of your blood & bones! I will-

Hex: Going down~!

Hex then plummeted back down like a meteor while glowing blue & pink, Extract yelling in agony and swears from the burning energy as she slammed him deep into the ground with a massive energy shockwave, shaking the whole area near the destroyed museum. Soon, the light and shockwave depleted with Hex standing tall over the fiery and damaged form of Extract.

Hex: Hmph. What a shame, I thought he'd lasted longer. Oh well, better go break the fleshling and Volt out of their cage-

Extract's eyes opened, springs up and grabs Hex, his mouth palms sinking into her shoulders.

Extract: Hahahahaha! I have you now, and I won't stop until I take ALL of your energy & life force! Every last bit of it!

He begins to siphon Hex's energy & life force, Extract laughs maniacally, getting stronger with his wounds healing while Hex did nothing to stop him.

Extract: I never fail to leech off my prey, no matter how strong they are! I always get my prey in blood and energy, doesn't matter what you do, I won't let go until you're a shriveled corpse, hahahahaha!

Hex: Really? I'll test that right now.

Hex's body started radiating with blue and pink energy. Extract was laughing at the ever growing energy to absorb, feeling like a king standing on top of the mountain of skull and blood with this level of power, he could do anything and no one can stop him. Then, something hit Extract, a feeling he never felt before....

Full.

He felt full, like he was at his limit of energy and life consumption. Extract was never full as he claimed that his hunger is endless, the energy Hex was releasing purposely, it was too much. Too much. Too much! It was overwhelming him and the host!

Extract: Stop! Stop! What the hell are you doing?!

Hex: (grins) I'm giving you what you wanted. Lots of energy and life, again and again and again and again and again~. Enjoy your special, hehehe~!

Extract: It's n-not stopping, I can't a-absorb all of it! Take it back! Take it all back!

Hex: Nope, you want it so bad, you're getting it all! Have at it, it'll be your last meal, hahahahahahahahaha!!

Extract screeches as he was completely overwhelmed by the energy he was absorbing, unable to let go & was growing to critical size, his screeches growing to high pitched and full of complete agony which was music to Hex's ears. Extract begins to glow with energy, waves of pink and blue light shooting out of parts of his body, breaking it and the host down in flames until he completely evaporated from it, both reduced to ashes.

Hex: Ah, I love the smell of ashes in the afternoon.

The Symbiotic Hulk walks from the fiery warzone back into the demolished museum, passing through each exhibit caught in the fight, coming across the trapped Luke still unconscious. She ripped the giant tendril claw off the wall, catching the knocked out young man in her arms, expecting his injuries and feeling out the electric symbiote within him.

Hex: The fleshling is still alive, and Volt is weakened... Don't worry, they won't hurt you anymore...

Sirens can be heard from outside.

Hex: Better get Jinx's little friend out of here and to a more secluded place to rest, wait til they get a load of me when they awake, hehehehe~.

Holding Luke carefully, Hex immediately run out of the destroyed museum and hyper jumped away from the area.
