Morlun lit candles and torches around the room preparing for the up coming fight. Mary Jane was chained to a wall glaring at her former guide. “So you did all this just eat my husband?” Mary Jane snapped.

“No it was to beat him at full power.” Morlun finished lighting the last candle and turned to the woman. “Your husband overpowered me the moment he heard you scream. He merely caught me by surprise. I wish to have a rematch and when I eat him I will absorb that power sedating my hunger, and increase my own power where I will never be beaten again.”

“You think you can beat the power that destroyed Mephisto?” Mary Jane called taunting the vampire.

Morlun quickly grabbed Mary Jane’s face glaring into her eyes, “I am not Mephisto. His weakness is not mine. I will beat your husband this time, I will eat him, and I will absorb his power.”

Morlun quickly released his captive and went back to work as Mary Jane began to struggle for her freedom.

Peter entered the tavern using his spider-sense to help him find the hidden passage. The reporter entered the Long Room and looked around trying to find the passage. He remembered his encounter with Morlun. How no matter what he did Morlun kept coming after him. The vampire released the gas of a stove and lit a match just to barbeque him. Peter was sure he would have died if Ezekiel hadn’t showed up to help him fight. He thought Morlun was finished when he was shot by his servant.

After finding the passage Peter quickly entered and changed getting ready for his rematch. Spiderman entered the underground cavern finding a room full of candles and Morlun in the center. Behind the vampire was MJ chained to a wall and gagged. “Let her go she has nothing to do with this!” Spiderman yelled in anger.

Morlun smiled cruelly and replied, “Oh but I am afraid she does. She has everything to do with this. She is a major key player in all of this. In fact she may be the reason you defeated me a second time.”

“What are you talking about this is our second encounter?” Spiderman asked completely confused.
