3rd POV: Spidey and veranke stared at each other in absolute silence, both ignoring the many skrulls that are currently aiming their weapons at the intruding wallcrawler, intending to kill if he so much as took one step.
"Spiderman." The Queen of the skrulls adeessed the webslinger, he voice echoing in the very silent room.
Spidey didn't make a sound. His sole focus was on veranke, though he did take a second to acknowledge super skrull slowly approaching him, his arms slightly extended and hands covered in rock and fire.
(Omniverses)
Chris Redfield narrowed his eyes at super skrull.
'Damm bastard.' He mentally thought.
Meanwhile, in the DC omniverse, Martian manhunter (JLU and YJ) and Miss Martian (YJ) took in the appearance of the skrulls. They could've easily mistaken them for a Martian with their appearances and their appearant ability to shapeshift.
"Think this will end peacefully?" Artemis (YJ) asked.
"Maybe." Nightwing (YJ) said. "But then again, this is a race that tried to take over the earth last time. Who knows if they'll listen to Peter anyway?" The former Robin said.
"Think their queen will at least hear him out?" Miss Martian asked.
"She might." Aqualad spoke. "But the real question is, even if she does listen, will Peter be able to give enough time for cerebro to be built?" He asked.
"If things go south, Spiderman could always send the fleet away via a portal." Zatanna spoke.
(Earth 616)
"You must be extremely confident in your abilities to come aboard an enemy vessel to seek an audience with me." Veranke said, crossing one leg over the other and leaning her head on her right hand, he eyes narrowing on the masked face of Spiderman. "But in the end, it doesn't matter if you have magic on your side. The skrulls will prevail over you." She said.
"I don't want to fight Veranke." Peter said. "Like I said when I came aboard, I want to talk, nothing more." Peter said. "Let's not start another invasion, veranke. Let's settle this peacefully." He urged.
Veranke said nothing as she continued to stare at the hero from Queens before her eyes softened slightly. However, they soon hardened once more when Super Skrull spoke.
"Cease your prattling Spiderman." The skrull with the powers of the fantastic four ordered. "You can not hope to dissuade us from taking what is rightfully ours." Super skrull then aggressively approached Spiderman with the wallcrawler tensing, getting ready for a fight. "You should have not come here alone, fool, now you will perish -" Superman skrull raised his hands, ready to pummel Spiderman before he was cut off by the Queen.
"Enough." Veranke commanded, causing all the skrulls to tense at the command. "Lower your weapons." She ordered, and some did so whilst others were hesitant to abide by the order. "Now." Veranke ordered again, and this time, all the skrulls lowered their weapons, but their hostilities towards Spiderman persisted. "That includes you as well, super skrull." Veranke said as she saw that said skrull had not powered down.
"But my lady -" Super skrull tried to protest, but veranke held a hand up to silence him.
"That was not a request. It was an order." Veranke said as she glared at the skrull containing the powers of the fantastic four.
Super skrull growled as he stared at his queen before turning to the silent wallcrawler and then back to veranke, and eventually did so.
"Now leave us, all of you." Veranke ordered her people, getting some protests and shocked looks from them, even Peter himself. "Do not disobey me." Veranke added, silencing any and all protests and one by one, the skrulls reluctantly left, sneering and cursing Spiderman along the way, all but super skrull who glared at his queen.
"Do you have something to say?" Veranke asked, her gaze swerving to super skrull.
".....do not let your foolish feelings for that human ruin the skrull Empire, he's but one man who we can destroy and yet you would rather let him speak poison in your ears and have us becoming weak in the eyes of the Galaxy!!!" Super skrull yelled, frustrated that the queen would be friendly with Spiderman instead of eliminating and continuing their plans to take the earth.
Veranke narrowed her eyes, not taking kindly to his words.
"My feelings are none of your concern!" Veranke growled. "Everyrhing I have done and everything that I continue to do, I do for the good of the skrulls." The Queen of the skrulls then stood up from her throne. "Now leave us! I will not say it again if you continue to resist." Veranke ordered.
"I could always throw him out." Spidey 'helpfully' suggested as he raised his hand up, getting both skrulls' attention.
Super skrull growled at the wallcrawler who only smiled behind the mask. Taking one last glance at the webslinger and veranke, super skrull then left the 2 of them alone, sneering all the way to the exit.
Only when they alone did the Queen of the skrulls take a breath and lean back in her chair and massage her eyes.
(Omniverses)
Everyone payed close attention to the Spiderman and veranke, very curious about how things were gonna go, none more so than the skrulls in the Marvel omniverse as many were still curious about the relationship between Spiderman and veranke.
(Earth 616)
'Ok, it's just you and veranke, you're just here to buy time for others. What would be a good topic to star -' Peter began to think before pausing as his spidey sense tingled ever so faintly before the danger passed. 'The hell was that?' He couldn't help but think.
2 seconds later, his spidey sense went off once again faintly before shutting off immediately after. Narrowing his eyes behind the mask, Spidey used his magic to create an invisible clone with the assignment of investigating what was causing his spidey sense to go off. For all he knew, it was something minor, but considering he was in enemy territory, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Footsteps echo in the now silent room, causing Peter to focus on an approaching skrull queen. Veranke stops a few inches away from Spiderman.
"You've changed back to your original suit." Veranke notes, looking at the spider symbol on the red and blue suit.
"I figured it was time to switch back to the classics." Spidey said.
"I'm glad you did." Veranke said, a small smile on her face. "I always did like you in this suit compared to the others you have." She added.
(Omniverses)
Most of the skrulls across the Marvel omniverse couldn't believe what they were seeing, the queen of the skrulls conversing with a human, the thought especially echoed in the many Verankes currently watching.
Carol (EMH) frowned at the skrull queen, a low growl escaping from her lips. She didn't like her one bit, and she, for some reason, hated the way she was speaking to 616 Spiderman even more so, although she stopped growling feeling a tap on her shoulder and turned to see the unmasked face of her universe's Spiderman looking at her.
"Are you ok?" He asked, slightly worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just.... don't trust her. I just feel like she could might pull something later." Danvers said, a frown on her face.
"I wouldn't worry about it too much." Peter replied, getting Carol's attention. "I'm sure that if anything does happen, my counterpart would be ready for it." He said confidently before his tone became a little teasing. "So no need to worry about lil old me." He joked, getting a scoff and very tiny smile from the kree hybrid.
"Whatever you say, Parker." Carol said, the smile not leaving her face even as she watched the screen.
Peter turns back before feeling a grip on his shoulder and turns to see the face of his uncle Ben smiling at him, with Peter giving his own back before turning to face the screen.
(Earth 616)
It's quiet between the 2 before veranke reaches up and goes to grasp Spiderman's mask, but the wallcrawler intercepts and holds her wrists. Veranke tilts her head to the side, a silent question asked. A moment later, Peter let's go of Veranke's wrists and allows her to reach his mask and gently remove it, showing his face to her.
"Even though I've seen you with a beard on the screen, it is still odd to me." Veranke said.
Peter says nothing as he gently takes his mask back from the skrull queen and holds it in his right hand.
"Why are you attacking earth veranke?" The wallcrawler asked, wanting to get straight to the point.
Veranke frowns before moving to a nearby window and looking out of it, more specifically, the planet.
"Is it not obvious, Peter?" Veranke asked, knowing that the webslinger is anything but stupid.
"Humour me." The nephew of Ben and May Parker requested as he moved to stand next to the queen of the skrulls.
Veranke doesn't say anything for a moment as she watches a skrull ship slowly fly by before she speaks.
"My people are tired, Peter." Veranke began. "Tired of constantly drifting amongst the stars, searching for a place to call home, of losing more of our people as the days go by. We want a home, and the earth is the planet we want, and we will do whatever is necessary to take the planet." Veranke said, and Peter can't help but notice the lack of conviction in her tone as she spoke.
"Come on, veranke, you don't honestly think you can win a second time, can you? Things have changed on earth." Peter asked, but veranke doesn't respond. "If you go through with this, the skrulls will suffer a bigger defeat than last time. Some might even try to wipe you all out." The wallcrawler tried to reason.
"You think I don't know this?" Veranke asked, turning her head to face Peter. "I want to make a home for my people without blood being spilt, but it is as I stated, the skrulls are tired of waiting." The skrull queen reiterated.
Peter said nothing for a moment. He knows that he's trying to buy time for Sue and Valeria to build their own version of cerebro for psylocke, but would it be possible for things to end another way -
An idea popped into his head. It was a little crazy but if kang allows it.....
"What if I could give you and your people a planet to call home?" Peter asked, catching veranke off guard.
"What?" Veranke asked, very confused.
(Omniverses)
The question was echoed by many across the omniverse. How was Peter gonna give the skrulls a new home? Terraform a planet for them?
(Earth 616)
"Kang!" Peter called out, not answering the skrull Queen's question. "Is it possible for the skrulls to perhaps return with me to the template earth so they can use it as their home planet?" He asked.
(With kang)
Kang hummed at the question. Should he allow it? The template earth was that he only used to place Spiderman when deciding which omniverse to head to next, though he was surprised when the template earth created the sky temple from the MK omniverse After some study, he was able to determine that the template earth was taking things from the omniverses that peter visited such as taking shape of the earth 616 when kang appeared and creating said sky temple when spidey was at the MK Omniverse. Further study showed something he found a little more interesting.
The template earth was latching onto Spiderman, and any companion that came with him to template earth.
He hasn't figured out why yet as it would require further study.
So what better way to do that than have more people go to template earth and watch how the latching process begins?
With that, kang moved to give his answer to the wallcrawler.
But he soon paused as his something caught his attention on one of his screens and moved to bring that to his and the omniversal audience attention.
(Earth 616 - a few minutes before Peter makes hus request to kang)
Meanwhile, the invisible clone of Spiderman had fazed through many walls and travelled various hallways, avoiding any kind of motion sensors until he finally made it to where his spidey sense warned him of danger.
It was a huge door that was heavily guarded by skrulls and all kinds of defences. Luckily, the magically created Spiderman just needed to faze through the door.
Using a small portion of the power from the Web, Peter zoomed past all of the defences and skrulls before facing through the door.
"Made it." The magic clone whispered as he dropped his invisibility. "Now, what was -" Peter began to ask before gasping at what, or rather who, he was seeing in front of him.
The room was filled with various cables and wires that hooked up to various terminals that were monitoring life signs and energy fluctuations, but the magic Peter clone was solely focused on who the cables and wires were connected to and it none other than.....
"Carol?" Peter whispered in complete shock.
This just got a little more complicated.
A/N: and another chapter out. I'm debating how to tie up this skrull invasion that will tie up nicely to the next little Marvel omniverse section although I'm thinking I might cut out a portion of the second part and maybe save it for later or scrap it entirely and just use the ending section of the second part to complete the Marvel omniverse section because I don't want to stay in earth 616 for too long. I'll just see how everything pans out and go from there.
A/N: Anyway, thanks for reading this chapter. Feel free to leave a review and, as always.....PEACE✌️✌️
