"Don't just stand there!," Stephen called out as he walked up to the door pushing it open to find the beat gone, and with it the darkness around the hallway. "It needs to be stopped! Come quickly, we must get to the treasure room, follow me bugs!"
I narrowed my eyes,something was wrong. No version of Stephen Strange could act...this crazy! But I kept quite as May and I followed him as he ran to the stairs, climbing downstairs.
"I don't like this guy," May said as she I leaped down the stairs three at a time.
Just then the monster came back, it cried out, "no!" and launched a tentacle at May, who quickly jumped away.
"Bug man! Fire your power at the beats! Destroy it!" Strange called out with a snarl.
"Yeah," I groaned, doing as the man said, firing off a bolt of bio-electricity at the shadow monster. The thing immediately ran away, dodging my blast.
"Good job," Strange spat as he ran towards a door and pulled it's handle, unable to open it.
May and I caught up to him at this point, looking out for the monster in question, "it's locked."
"Not for long," Stephen began to chant, a language I never heard off, and then suddenly a black circle appeared over the lock, spinning around long enough for a loud click to be heard. The door swung open immediately, "come quick bug."
May and I looked inside, there was a long corridor that was creepy as hell and dark. "I have a bad feeling about this," May said as she gulped. I didn't say anything as I followed Strange, who looked like he was smiling about something.
"So, do you remember me Strange?" I asked the man.
The man snapped back towards me and huffed, "should I?"
I groaned, future Peter sounded like he knew the guy, and of course Spider-man and Doctor Strange should have teamed up some time, so how...something's wrong.
But just then the shadow monster returned. "GO AWAY!" it roared as it came charging at us from behind. May and I jumped back, but the monster ignored us, going right after Strange.
"Help me you fools!" Strange cried out as he summoned a black wipe made of shadows, hitting the monster's body harmlessly.
I gathered my powers and was about to fire when I stopped and noticed something. The monster, it looked like it was in pain, but it wasn't hurting me or May, it was focused only on Strange. And Strange's magic, it felt...wrong. He didn't recognize my costume, he kept calling us bugs...something was very off.
"May, something's not right with Strange," I told her.
"Yeah, he's a creepy old man, but we need to help him!" May cried out.
"I don't-"
CRASH!
The monster threw Strange through a door as it came charging inside after him. "Come on!" May called out as we both ran inside only to be shocked to find what looked like a museum wing filled with random storage items displayed in glass cases.
I found weapons, pottery, heck, even a feather. But right now, I was too busy looking at the monster and Strange fight each other.
"You will not stop me!" Strange cried out, "I will destroy the thread!"
I blinked, "okay, that doesn't sound normal."
"Stop!" the monster roared again, "stop!"
I was about to move, when suddenly Strange sent out a blast of orange energy that sent the monster flying away into a wall. Strange floated in the middle of the room with darkness flowing off off him in droves.
"Finally, the fabled treasure room of the Sanctum Sanctorum!" Strange looked around before flying into the room.
I looked at the downed monster and suddenly it hit me, "Strange!" I yelled running to the monster's side.
"What are you doing?" May asked me, "get back before it kills you!"
"It's not going to, are you Stephen?" I asked holding the monster in my arms.
"Stop him," the monster croaked as he tried to get on his tentacles.
"What? How?" May asked.
"The monster probably switched minds with Stephen, it needs his body to get something out of the treasure room," I concluded looking around, "we need to stop him!"
I ran forward with May following close behind, "magic, monster, brain switching, this is the last time I go on a mission with you Peter!"
I chuckled, "come on kiddo! You're breaking my heart!" We saw Strange floating above a dome shaped glass case, inside it a purple velvet pillow on which laid a single glowing thread.
"At last! It will be mine!" Stephen laughed as he reached out to touched the glass case, slowly removing it.
"Stop right there freak!" I yelled tackling him from the back and into the ground. I punched him across the face over and over, "give my friend his body back!"
"Get off me!" the monster possessing Stephen's body yelled out, sending a blast of black energy so strong I flew back, crashing into a glass case with something inside it.
"You won't stop me now bug boy!" the monster cried out as he got back on his feet.
"Hey ugly!" May called out leaping at Stephen, holding what looked to be a mace in her hand. She brought it down over his head, but at the last moment Stephen sent up a black diamond shaped force field, blocking May's attack.
