Noir Spiderman: A Van Helsing Story.

The Key to Life

"A silver stake? A sun medallion?"

As Twilight and Adam were walking towards the old destroyed windmill, it was raining like made; the perfect weather for the way they were feeling at the moment. Twilight was giving out to Adam about his ways of attempted to kill Morbius.

"You think we haven't tried this stuff before? We've shot him, stabbed him, clubbed him." Adam was beginning to not bother to listen. "Sprayed him with holy water, staked him through the heart and still he lives."

Twilight shoved him when she saw him not listening. "Do you understand? No one knows how to kill Morbius, no one."

"Well, I could have used that information a little earlier." Spiderman replied.

She sighed before calming down, Twilight was letting her anger get the better of her. She turns away from her partner and stares off into the distance; "I'm sorry, you were right, he's not my brother anymore."

Adam knew she was referring to the monster that her brother had now become; especially now that he was fully under Morbius' control. To calm the moment, Adam pulled out something he nicked from her bar at her castle.

"Here, apple cider, supposed to clear the mind." Adam said, offering her the bottle. She took the bottle and took a sip, she groan when she swallowed.

"What's with the taste?" she asked him.

Spiderman pulled a smaller flask from his jacket, "Dragon's blood, tastes like pure gold but kills instantly if you drink it on its own."

"I thought you were holy, you should only be allowed to drink communion wine?"

Adam chuckled before taking the bottle back from Twilight, "I sin alot when I kill these creatures, so the church allows me to drink what I want, as long as I beg forgiveness." After he took his mask off and took a drink from the bottle, he drew a cross on himself.

The two of them took it in turns drinking from the bottle, and Adam was asking for forgiveness after every swallow. And then he realised that Twilight was getting soaked; he took his hat off and put it on his her head.

"I started off not liking you." Twilight stated. "But I think I'm starting to like y..."

She was cut off when the floor gave out, they both fell below the ground into a hidden cavern.


The next morning, back at the castle, someone was getting over the events of last night.

Spike was mumbling in his sleep, "Hmm....Mhmm...Vampires." he then sat up in a panic, but then realised he was safe. Spike sat up against the bed post, not realising he wasn't alone.

The friar turned to his left, and saw the woman lying asleep in the bed; the quilt covering her naked body. Spike lowered his head down to her and kissed the side of her head; without waking her up, he whispered, "Thank you."

Spike sat back up again and reached to the floor to grab his trousers, he slipped them on and wandered across the room to get some water.

With a good feeling, he sipped his water and leaned against a torch mounted on the wall.

Suddenly, the torch shifted out of place and Spike nearly fell over. He dropped his water and watched a section of the wall spun around. It revealed a portrait of two knights about to fight; on the side of the portrait, there were parts of a Latin text. Spike mumbled the words.

"The two warriors will battle to the death, both taking the forms of the their inner creature. One will prey on the weak, and one will fight for the good; one will grow fur when the sun goes down and become a wolf. The other will strike the light in the world, as his body takes to flight."

All of a sudden, the portrait started moving, the two knights began to battle. Spike watched the two warriors fight, until the one of the right threw his weapons down and changed into a Were-Wolf; the other grew wings and became monstrous bat creature. The two beasts attacked each other.

The sudden change of events caused Spike to stumble away in fear; he tripped and fell back onto the bed, causing both him and he lady friend to get wrapped in the sheets and fall off the other side.

The woman gasped as if she was being pounced on.


Twilight was the first to regain consciousness, she looked around the cave that her and her acquaintance had fallen into.

“Adam, where are you?” she asked.

Spiderman got up as well and replied, “Over here.” Adam found his mask on the ground next to him. However, something caught his ear, the sound of something moving around the room.

“Twilight, don’t move. There’s something down here.” Adam placed his hand on one of his revolvers.

“What is it?” Twilight asked as she moved closer to Spiderman.

“My guess, this thing has been living down here for some time. He’s about the same height as me; he weighs about three hundred pounds. He is between twenty to twenty five years old.” Adam then turned to face Twilight. “And he has blue skin.”

“How do you know he has blue skin?” Twilight asked.

“Because he’s standing right behind you. Move!”

Adam lunged at the figure standing behind Twilight Sparkle, she moved out of the way and watched the two of them wrestle on the ground. When the figure managed to over throw Adam, he threw the spider man to the wall of the cave; but Spidey did manage to pull the hood off the figure.

Twilight looked at the face of this ‘man’, it was him.

“Oh my goddess, the Electro monster.” She stated.

The creature marched over to her and cried, “Monster, who’s the monster here?!” he grabs her by her shirt and holds her up against the wall. “I do nothing to you, and you & all your kind, all wish me dead.”

Suddenly, Adam runs up to Electro and his him on the shoulder with a small log. He drops Twilight and turns to the spider; Electro raises his arms and releases a blast of electricity at Adam. The blast wasn’t that powerful, but it knock Adam into the small pool of water in the corner of the cave.

Electro turns back to Twilight; he walks towards her, like he’s ready to attack, until the princess stops him.

“What do you want?” Twilight quickly says, thinking it’ll save her life.

Electro stops in his tracks and replies, “To exist.”

Twilight suddenly felt pity for this creature, it didn’t seem like a monster; she remember from the story that this thing was a human being. A lonely person who had died on the streets of Tramplevania; he didn’t ask to be like this.

Suddenly, Electro groaned in pain; Adam shot him in the back with knock-out blow darts. The creature fell to its knees and crawled towards the side of the cave.

He then turned to the two humans and stated, “If you value your lives, and the lives of your fellow man; you will kill me.”

Twilight took one of Adam revolvers from his pocket and pointed it at Electro; before she could fire, Adam stopped. “Wait, why?” he asked the creature.

“I am the key to my creator’s machine, the Key to Life. I am what Morbius seeks, the key to bringing his children to life.”

Adam then stated, “He already brought them to life last night.”

Electro chuckled and explained, “They were merely tests, and they died as they did the last time he tried. We must not let the others awaken.”

“Wait, there are more of those things?”

“Thousands more.” Electro was about to pass out. “Do what needs to be done.”

When the creature had passed out, Adam and Twilight thought about what they had to do. Twilight then pointed the gun at Electro, but Adam once again stopped her.

“You heard what he said.” She stated.

Spiderman replied, “Look, my life, my job; is to vanquish evil. This thing; man whatever it is, evil may have created, evil may have left its mark on it. However, evil does not rule it, so I cannot kill him.”

Twilight thought for a sec, “I can.”

Adam again stopped her, “Not while I’m here.”

The two of them suddenly heard a growl, they looked over and saw Shining Armour, in his Were-Wolf form. Twilight shot a few bullets in his direction, but none of them hit him and he leaped away.

“They’ve seen him; now they will come for him. And neither you or I will be able to stop them.” Twilight stated.

Adam replied, “If I can get him to Canterlot, we can protect him there.”
