Noir Spiderman: A Van Helsing Story.

by Adamverse


The Brides

Sailing across the seas, Spiderman and Spike were on their way; when the boat landed, they still had a long way to go. They mounted horses to ride the rest of the way, crossing mountains and forests; just to reach Tramplevania.

When their journey ended, they had arrived in a village just beyond the woods; their horses marched through the town, the people wouldn’t stop staring at the new arrivals.

The two of them mounted the tied their horses to a stable fence, and began their walk through town; only to be followed by the crowd forming behind them.

“What do you remember?” Spike asked, to kill the silence.

“Not now, Spike.” Adam replied.

But the friar wanted to know, “Come on, you must remember something.”

Spiderman sighed before answering with, “I remember fighting the romans.”

“But that was centuries ago.”

“You asked.”

The two of them didn’t need to look behind them to know they were being followed, almost the whole village was following them to the town centre.

“Why are we even here? Why’s it so important to kill this Morbius anyway?” Spike asked, Adam detected complaining in his tone.

“Because he’s the son of the Devil.” The hunter replied.

“I mean, besides that.”

“Because anything bitten by him or created by him, will also die.”

“I mean, besides that.”

The two of them were suddenly approached by the town’s undertaker, Zephyr Breeze; in a happy voice, he said, “Welcome, to Tramplevania.” Spike saw in his hand, there was a measuring tool.

Spiderman sighed, he then dropped his bag of weapons and turned to the crowd; only to hear boot steps coming from behind him.

“You, turn around.” A woman’s voice ordered.

Adam turned to see princess Twilight standing on the wall on the town’s well, her hands on her hips; looking rather serious. She noticed she couldn’t see who he was because of the leather mask he was wearing.

“Why are you wearing that mask? Let me see your face.”

“Why?” Adam replied.

“Because we don’t trust strangers.”

“Strangers don’t last long here.” Zephyr Breeze stated. He was measuring Spike with his tool. “Five foot seven…” he muttered.

The crowd was getting restless in the situation, until Twilight said, “Gentlemen, you will now be disarmed.” Some members of the crowd moved forward.

However, Adam gripped the revolvers in his pockets, “You can try.”

The men then back into the crowd; Twilight grunted and said, “You refuse to obey our laws?”

“The laws of men mean very little to me, ‘princess’.” Spiderman stated.

Twilight had lost her patience with these two, “Fine, kill them.”

The crowd liked that order, especially Zephyr’; but they stayed where they were when Adam stated, “I’m here to help you.”

“I don’t need your help.” Twilight replied.

Adam suddenly noticed something behind her, “Really?” Spiderman pulled out his crossbow and aimed it a Twilight; she moved out of the way to reveal that three female vampires were flying towards the town, screaming for blood.

These creatures were flying around, in the forms of giant, white, half human, half bat creatures. The only colourful thing about them was their hair; one’s hair was orange and yellow, another’s was pink and green, and the final one’s was blue and dark blue.

Spiderman opened fire on the on the vampires, causing them to scatter in the air; Twilight looked up to see the creature, she then shouted, “Everybody inside!” the town’s people scatter to try and get inside. Helping the children and the less fast people first, get to safety first.

The vampires were taking damage from Adam’s rapid fire weapon, but they seemed to just be ignoring it. Spiderman tried to shoot out their wings, the arrow were cutting through them like paper; but the vampires weren’t even bothered.

One of them knocked Twilight onto Adam, knocking them both to the ground, making Adam lose his hat; Twilight was then carried off by another, Spidey dropped his weapon and chased after them. He leaped up and grabbed Twilight by her legs, making the vampire drop them.

The two of them landed on the ground in an awkward position, with Twilight on top of Adam. The hunter flipped them both over so he was on top, “Stay here.” He ordered.

But Twilight flipped them over again, now she was on top again, “You stay here, they’re trying to kill me.” She got up and ran away, only to then run in the other direction when she saw one of the vampires throw a man in the wall.

Adam ran for his weapon, but the vampires had noticed him, they didn’t know this man. The vampire with orange hair gave and order to another, “Aria, kill the stranger.”

“Love to.” The one with pink hair replied.

Adam picked up his crossbow and began shooting at the vampires, left and right he fired at them; until his weapon stopped working. “Spike! Spike, it’s not working.”

Spike pulled a second ammo pack out of his bag, “Try aiming at their hearts.” He said as he threw it to Adam. The hunter caught it and started loading it into the crossbow, the vampires were still causing destruction.

Spiderman had loaded his weapon, he then noticed the vampires chasing after Twilight; he pulled the trigger and held on, catapulting the arrows at the flying monsters. Twilight ducked behind some crates, but one man was snatched by the vampires and lifted into the air; it was too late to save him when the vampire bit into his neck.

Suddenly, the sun light came through the clouds, the vampires were gone.

Spidey looked around, there was nothing; no wings, no fangs, no nothing. Twilight stood up from her hiding spot, she saw the vampires had gone too; “The sun.” she said. Vampires hate the sunlight, so they’ve hidden themselves.

However, Twilight and Adam heard a noise from the well; the gasped and turned to the well, both of them approaching it, slowly. Twilight picked up a sickle she found, they both looked down into the well; it was too dark to see anything.

The clouds moved across the sky, covering the sun again; with the sun gone, Spike muttered, “Uh, Spiderman…”

The vampire with blue hair shot out of the well like a bullet out of a gun; one of them picked up Twilight with its feet. She looked down at her prey and laughed, “Do you like to fly?!” she screeched.

Adam couldn’t get a clear shot at the vampire, so he ran after them; however, Twilight had a knife and cut the vampire’s foot. Twilight was dropped, but caught by the vampire with orange hair.

Spiderman now had a clear shot, he aimed the weapon and pulled the trigger; the arrow shot her right through the leg. She screamed in pain and dropped Twilight on to the roof of a building. Twilight slid off the roof and onto a tree, banging her head on the tree trunk; she then fell and hit her leg on a branch, but still managed to stick the landing. The princess grunted when felt the pain in her head, but shook it off and ran for it.

Adam ran as one of the vampires chased him, he turned to her at the last minute a fired the arrows at her; she tried to fly away but ended up crashing into building.

Meanwhile, Twilight hid in someone’s house; she locked the door and hoped the creatures couldn’t get her. However, when she turned around, she was confronted by one of the vampires.

It was hanging upside down, it said, “Hello Twilight.” It crawled along the ceiling then leaped to the floor, morphing into its human form.

Twilight replied, “Nice to see you to, Sonata.”

Back outside however, Adam was waiting for the vampire he was facing; he aimed his weapon at the building she crashed into and waited for her to strike.

She suddenly crashed through the wall again and pounced at Spiderman, causing him to fall to the ground; the vampire flew around the air and then land on a balcony, she morphed to human form, she actually looked rather beautiful.

Twilight on the other hand was having a bit of a problem, she was face to face with a monster just waiting for the chance to strike. “Did I do something to you in a past life, to make you hate me, Sonata?”

“Don’t play coy with me, princess.” Sonata replied. “I can hear your heartbeat.”

“I hope you have a heart, cause one day, I’m going to drive a stake through it.” Twilight stated, until the vampire knocked her out the window and into the street; but once again, she stuck the landing.

Aria walked up and down the balcony, swaying her hips, like she was trying to seduce Adam. Meanwhile, Spike was digging through the bag to find something that could help; “This should do the trick.” He said.

He ran towards Adam and held a bottle in the air, “Holy water!” as he threw it to Adam. However, the orange haired vampire caught it and threw it into the well.

“Stop your teasing, Aria; and finish him!” the vampire cried.

Adam looked at his crossbow, then back at the girl on the balcony; she stated, “Too bad, so sad.”

“The church!” Adam heard Spike shout; Spidey saw the bowl of holy water outside the church’s gate. Spiderman turned back to Aria, she smiled as her fangs grew from her teeth.

When he thought he saw an opening, the hunter ran for his weapon; Aria jumped off the balcony, morphed back into her half bat form and knocked Adam into a hay stack before he could get the weapon.

The vampire continued grabbing him and throwing him all over the place; into wagons, into walls, and into more hay stacks.

When the beat down was finished, she flew away and laugh; then turned back to finish him off. When Adam looked up, he saw his crossbow right in front of him; when Aria saw he had his weapon back, she screeched.

Meanwhile, inside another house; Twilight was finding a place to hide, until she got a shock. Sonata was in the house, sitting next to a body, with blood leaking from his neck; she poured it into a glass and said, “Thirty years old, perfectly aged.” She stroked his neck.

Twilight turned the way but stop when she saw the orange haired vampire in human form; “Hello Twilight, my dear.” The vampire said. Twilight tried to run the other way, but Sonata stood in front of her, taking a sip of the blood in the glass. The two vampires cornered her in the room, “The last of the Vladimir’s.” the orange haired vampire stated.

Outside, Adam grabbed his weapon and ran for the church; he heard Spike shout, “Here she comes.”

Twilight tried to punch one of the vampires, but the orange haired grabbed her wrist, “I can feel flesh blood flowing through your veins.” She stated.

Sonata threw the glass of blood away and stated, “I want first bite, Adagio.” But her fellow vampire hissed and revealed her fangs, making Sonata hiss as well.

Speaking of which, Aria was hissing as she flew towards the hunter who was so close to the fountain of holy water. Adam had got there just in time, he dipped his crossbow into the water, then aimed it at the vampire behind him.

Just before the other two vampires were about to bite into Twilight’s neck; Adam open fired on Aria, blasting her with holy water dowsed arrows. She was sent crashing into the wall of the church’s bell tower; the holy water burning her skin like acid.

Somehow, the other vampires could sense their ‘sister’ had been defeated; they morphed back into the half bat forms and roared like monsters before flying through the roof and leaving.

In the distance, Adam could hear Adagio moan, “Aria.”

Spiderman looked back up at the vampire that was close to death, her wings were burning away as she morphed back into her human form; after that, she screamed as she melted away, into nothing but bones.

Adam drew a cross on himself and muttered, “May she rest in peace.”

The hunter sat on the steps of the church, Spike had found his friend’s hat and gave it to him; once Adam had his hat back, the crowd came out and began calling out to him.

“He killed a bride.”

“He killed Aria Blaze!”

“He killed a vampire.”

Spike asked the people, “But isn’t that a good thing?”

Zephyr Breeze stood on the well’s wall and stated, “Vampires only kill what they need to survive; like two people a month. Now, they will kill for revenge.” The entire town’s people nodded and muttered, agreeing with Zephyr. “So what name, my good man, do I carve on your grave stone?” the undertaker asked Adam.

“His name is Spiderman.” Twilight said as she emerged from the crowd. The town’s people were worried, some have heard that name.

Adam stood up and said to Twilight, “Next time, stay close; your no good to me dead.”

Twilight smirked and replied, “I’ll give you this, Spiderman; you’ve got courage.” She turned to the crowd, “He’s the first one to kill a vampire in over a hundred years.” She turned back to him, “I’d say that’s earned him a drink.”
