Just my idea of how Spider-Boy got involved in the Spider-Verse event. I don't own Spider-Man or Amalgam Comics.

"And now, the one you've all been waiting for, the star of It's Amazing. The incredible, the unbeatable, the mall-crawling Spider-Boy!" Jack Thomas said into the microphone, the crowd cheering as Spider-Man leaped off the cieling and landed on the ground with ease. He waved at the crowd happily, while winking at a few girls his age who swooned once he did.

"It's great to have you here Spider-Boy." Thomas told him as the teen hero sat down on a chair.

"Great to be here Jack." he responded with a smile.

"So you've been in the hero life for, what, two years now?" Jack asked, and once Pete nodded he continued. "A lot of our viewers want to know, especially the parents, if you think that being hero has prevented you from living the nice normal life you want."

"Now that's a good question. I suppose the only answer I can give is a question." Spider-Boy told him. "Would you want a life where you lived a peaceful life, or would you prefer to have a life of adventure and fun? A life where stores sell action figures of you and you have a very successful show? It's fine if you don't want former, but I knew what I wanted."

"Good point." Jack responded with a smile while the audience watched their hero in excitement. "Now if you don't mind me asking this, and please tell me if I'm crossing the line, but what happened with you and Insect Queen? I mean for weeks there was the news the two of you were getting married and then nothing. Me and my viewers would like to know what happened."

"Well the answer is simple Jack. We were just too young." Pete lied while the audience looked at him expectancy, some clearly hoping to hear some drama. He didn't really want to get into how a powerful demon named Triphisto was manipulating them to get married so they could have a child, and would rather discuss something else.

"Well I'm sure our audience have some questions of their own." Jack said as he gestured to the audience while staff walked up to them to give some a microphone each.

"Ok, I can do this." a girl Pete's age whispers to herself, though she grew embarrassed when the microphone caused everyone to hear it and chuckle. "Do you have a new girlfriend?"

"No, not yet." Spider-Boy responded, and he saw plenty of girls like her smile more widely.

"Who is your archenemy? My friend thinks it's King Lizard, but I think it's the Two-Faced Goblin." a slightly overweight man who looked to be in his forties asked, wearing a Trek Wars t-shirt.

"Both. My archenemy is injustice in whatever form it appears in." Pete said in a heroic voice, before smiling. "Also anyone who hates Die Lethally."

"Who can hate Die Lethally?" the man asked in confusion.

"Believe it or not, so many people." he answered seriously, smiling as he answered a few more questions. However his smile vanished when the next person asked his question.

"Are you prepared to die Spider-Boy?" the long haired man asked with a calm tone, as he stood up and pushed the man handing the microphone to people out of his way. Spider-Boy didn't need to be a genius to see where this was going and he stood up to prepare himself.

"Look buddy, I really don't want to do this right now. Is it possible to reschedule this for next week? I'll even let you pick the location so you can make everything look awesome." Spider-Boy told then stranger, knowing that from the look on the man's face that the fight was going to happen here. "Do we have a deal mystery man?"

"My name is Morlun Spider-Boy. I am your death." the stranger, Morlun, replied a smile he visibly licked his lips in anticipation. That alone sent chills down the clone's spine in fear, and Spider-Boy desperately tried to think of a comeback. To his shock, he couldn't which only served to scare him more.

When he had finally decided to throw a simple punch at Morlun, just to test what he was dealing with, he found himself on the ground and in pain. He heard people screaming and running, and despite how dazed and confused he was he understood what happened. Somehow Morlun had moved at lightning speeds and punched him with the force of a moving train. As he tried to push himself back up to his feet, he saw that Morlun was standing in front of him.

"You smell odd Spider-Boy. This who reality feels odd. Like only half of it is truly real. Like you are a totem, but at the same time not a totem." Morlun told the hero, though the latter wasn't really listening. He desperately tried to think of of a way to escape, as he has come to a realisation. Morlun will kill him. He's not like Scavulture or the Two-Faced Goblin, he didn't want to play with him or humiliate him. He just wanted to kill him.

"Regardless, you should still provide a decent meal." Modeling said as he suddenly stepped on Pete, slamming him back intro the ground. Pete felt his body scream in pain, and he knew he was lucky he had acted in time and used his powers to lesson the attack. Modeling then grabbed Pete by his jacket an dulled him up, but still somehow looking over him. Pete could only watch as a yellow glow originated from Morlun's eyes and mouth, while a purple light glowed at the corner of his eyes.

The next thing he knew Morlun had been thrown across the room, and Pete was staring at a masked figure in a spider themed costume. For a second, Pete wondered if this was some kind of dying dream, but he realised he was wrong when the masked man began to move him and pain shot through his body.

"Come on Komori, we've got to move." said someone else, and Pete looked over to see another spider themed individual. However, despite his mask Pete was easily able to recognize him as he has met the man many times before. Pete wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that he was the president of the "We Hate Spider-Boy" fan club, with its membership made up of all his enemies.

"Flash Thompson?" Pete whispered in absolute confusion as the other masked man, Komori, helped him to regain his balance. Once he was standing Komori let go, though he stayed close enough to grab him in case he collapsed again. "What are you doing here? Is Special Crimes chasing this guy? And I can't believe this is my Kats question, but why are you dressed like me? You hate me!"

"Special Crimes? You're going to have to tell me more about that later kid." Flash said as he looked to where he had sent Morlun flying with a kick. However the menacing figure was standing up again and was clearly about to attack them. "Right now, we have to leave. And it you want to live you've got to come with us. You in?"

Pete was already nodding and suddenly a purple portal appeared before them. As Komori leapt in and Pete heard Flash urge him forward, Pete took a deep breath and followed the other spider themed individual.

Tell me what you think and if there are any spelling mistakes or sentences that don't make sense. Triphisto is an amalgam of Mephisto and Trigon. Since this is a universe where heroes were combined, I thought it would be interesting if fiction within the universe was combined, such as Star Trek and Star Wars to make Trek Wars or Die Hard and Lethal Weapon to make Die Lethally. And in case it wasn't clear, the Spider-Men who saved Pete was Yu Komori, from Spider-Man: The Manga which is set on Earth-70091, and the Captain Spider version of Flash Thompson from Earth-78127.
