There once was an old puppeteer, that lived with his pet spider. The old man used to make many hand puppets and entertained many children with his puppet shows. His pet spider, Tula, wanted to play with her master's puppets, and entertain children just as he did...but, she knew it was not possible, for she had no hands.
As time passed, she watched her master grew older and older, making many puppets. and havingmany shows. She still wished to play with her masters puppets.
Eventually, the master passed away, and left his pet spider alone. The spider could walk around the house freely, but she still couldn't play with the masters puppets, she merely stared at the puppets, wishing for hands to one day use to play with them.
...
One day, aliens came to the house and abducted the spider. inside their spaceship, the spider was placed in some strange capsule like machine, along with a frightened young man. The aliens pushed a button and then the spider and man fused together to form one creature.
Their body became as one, but their minds were seperate. The head was fused in the middle, with the right side having the humans brain, thoughts and face, and the left side having the spider's. The spider's legs now had insectoid hands, and her last to legs held the man's hairy arms. The abdomen of the spider had the man's legs on her sides.
The Aliens left the creature infront of the spider's house. The man was positively frightend over what he had become, however the spider was happy, for she finally had hands she oh so desperately wished for. She rushed into the house and started to play with her master's puppets.
A few years later...
The creature was spending it's time performing puppet shows all across the country, while keeping itself hiding withing the puppet show (box thing, can't remember the name). One day when scavenging for food, the creature over heard some strange looking people, talking about some sort of Secret Tournament. One that the victor could get for whatever he or she wished for.
The human side of the creature, named Larry, knew that this prize could help him get his old body back, however the creature's spiders side,Tula, knew that if that were to happen, she would no longer have the hands she always wanted.
Larry then tried to convince Tula into competting in the tournament. At first she didn't cooperate, but Larry then told her that he will make a wish in which she can keep her hands, and he can get his old body back. She agreed.
They then began training for the tournament. Making their own fighting style based on the spider's offensive and deffensive abilities, and of course for some reason, a fighting style based on puppets, which is why the creature carries around a back pack full of hand puppets.
