Spider-man:Kigen to saisei
"With Great Power, there must also come Great Responsibility"
New Tokyo.
This is New Tokyo basically a slightly more futuristic version of Tokyo and the current capital city of Japan, you see some time in the year 1995 there was a horrible earthquake which decimated the old Tokyo city. Many lives were claimed in that disaster, but over time and with help from the other nations of the world the new capital "New Tokyo city" was built over the ruins of the old city. This new city was divided into three mine cities or "towns" if you will, they include Shibuya nicknamed "the town of daylight", Kogane or "the town of dusk/dawn" and Benten also known as "the town of nighttime".everything seemed to be going great for the people of New Tokyo, but like must cities it has it's share of problems with the criminal element in the past 20 years there have been multiple counts of robbery and death the streets of New Tokyo are no longer safe, One boy however holds the key to this cities salvation.
Shibuya Gakuen.
Aside from the rampant crime plaguing the otherwise fair city if you can call it that, are story begins at Shibuya Gakuen(High school) one of the best schools in the city which isn't saying much. It was like any other school, Japanese or otherwise But enough about that. It was the end of the day at the school and all the students were heading home, One boy was skating his way to the Tokyo Science centre for a demonstration on a modified form of nuclear energy. This boy wore a typical blue Japanese school uniform but had chocolate brown hair and his eyes were a golden colour. He is are main protagonist Shikunshi Takeru an extremely bright and gifted 16 year old science student on the fast track to a full college scholarship. But with many teen who are smart it also made him a social outcast and a prime target for bullies this eventually stopped being a problem but that's for another time. He was just skating along when he saw a police car chase in progress some low life thugs just taking off from a heist, Takeru just watched as they made their escape with the cops on their tails.
Tokyo Science centre.
Once there Takeru, headed to the information desk with 2 attractive looking secretaries.
Takeru: excuse me, could you tell me where the demonstration on nuclear energy is being done.
First secretary: yes[pointing to her left] just down that way.
Takeru: Dōmo arigatōgozaimashita[bowing before following the directions].
Takeru arrived at the event just as the scientist was about to turn on the machine. Flashes of energy came from a sphere formed at the machine creating a beautiful display of colour. While the experiment went on no one noticed a spider crawl down on a line of web close to the machine, becoming irradiated by the energy. The spider took an interest in Takeru for reasons unknown and lowered itself on to the boy. While Takeru was distracted the spider took it's chance and crawled on to the boy's hand and bit him.
Takeo: ow what the[noticing the spider] oh, it's just a spider[swatting it away] I'd better head home.
Shibuya.
As Takeru walked home he started to feel strange, he wasn't sure if it was something he ate or from the spider bite. He looked at his hand and thought it disappeared for a second, as he crossed the street a car was driving to fast to stop in time. Then suddenly Takeru felt a strange buzzing in his head and turned to see a car headed straight for him and leaped about 40 feet in the air and hung on to the side of a building with his fingers?.
Takeru: what's going on?.
Takeru began using this new wall crawling ability to scale the building he was hanging on. Then hopped across roof tops like a Ninja from feudal Japan. He stopped jumping to think about what happened to him. It was either a crazy dream or it was...?
Takeru: (The spider... the one that bit me at the centre, somehow during the experiment it must have become radioactive and when its venom reached my bloodstream... it altered my DNA giving me the abilities of an actual spider).[The boy quickly rushed home to learn more about his abilities].
Shikunshi residence.
Takeru entered and was greeted by his elderly uncle Daichi. Ever since he could remember Takeru was raised by his uncle Daichi and his aunt Etsuko. Takeru's parents died in a plane crash over seas, orphaned and alone his aunt and uncle took him in and raised him as if he was their own.
Daichi: welcome home Takeru-chan how was the demonstration.
Takeru: colourful to say the least, where's Oba-chan?.
Daichi: she's sleeping so try to be quite.
Takeru: alright Oji-san, I'll be studying in my room[Takeru headed up to his room](Oba-chan, Oji-san, maybe i could use my new powers to make some money... become a stuntman of some sort or actor, to finally pay them back for all the years they've devoted to me).
3 days later.
In the days that followed Takeru had noticed that his physique had become more muscular since he got his powers, he'd been studying up on spiders to be better acquainted with his powers. He develops his web-shooters 2 wrist mounted devices he made himself, after all what's a spider without a web. Speaking of which he mixed together a special pressurized fluid that will become the webs when fired.
Takeru: it work perfectly 2 presses of the button on my palm and...[shoots a couple webs to test the shooters] with my new spider powers i can control it like a sharp shooter and I'll keep modifying the fluid tell it's just the right consistency. But i need one more thing a costume! If I'm going into show business I'd may as well look the part.
Takeru used some old cloth they had lying around the house and began sowing together his costume, he was sure Oba-chan wouldn't miss it anyway. He made a red and blue outfit with a spider emblem on the shirt and a mask with white lenses.
Takeru/Spider-man: i need a name so i think I'll call myself...[putting on the costume] Spider-man!, look out world here comes the original web swinging wonder.
Oba-chan was out with friends and Oji-san was working late tonight so Takeo/Spider-man had time go out and find someone who would hire him and web swing-ed into the city to do so. It took some getting used to swing on a thread and he did crash into several telephone poles but once got the hang of it Spidey was a pro[crashing into a building] for the most part. He kept swinging until he came upon a circus tent and went to check it out.
Circus tent.
Once inside he could hear the voice of the ringmaster talking to someone about hiring a new act.
Ringmaster: this isn't good, people are losing interest in our circus we need a new act, a new performer something different, something Amazing, something really Spectacular!.
Spider-man:[came in hanging upside down on a web line] is this Spectacular enough for you.
Ringmaster: ah! Who are you and what do you want.
Spider-man:[leaping off right side up] just your friendly neighbourhood Spider-man and I'm answer to your prays.
Ringmaster: you mean to my failing circus, athletes foot and broken toilet[getting up close to him].
Spider-man: well the answer to 1 of your prays.
Ringmaster: okay then kid show me what you can do.
Spider-man: with gusto.
Spider-man back flipped several feet into the air landed on a large ball that elephants use to balance on, he did it with one hand amazing the ringmaster. Next he took to the trapeze at the top of the tent swinging from the rings like an expert, the other performers came to see and saw the spectacle that was going on. Spider-man let go of the line and proceeding to fall several feet to the bottom, shocking everyone, with no safety net it looked like our hero was done for. But half through the fall Spider-man spun himself a large web catching him just in time. For a moment there was silence followed by loud cheers from the circus crew everyone rushed over to Spider-man. From a distance a blond girl with a flower in her hair watched from afar.
Strongman: that was incredible my friend.
female Juggler: you were so brave.
Trapeze man: could you show me how to do that.
Ringmaster: you were great kid, the name's Jack and your just what this circus needs.
Spider-man: so i got the job.
Ringmaster Jack: you kidding me you were born for this job, if you can do the same thing in front of a live audience i'll pay whatever you want.
Spider-man: awesome you have no idea how much this means to me[shaking his hand firmly].
Ringmaster Jack: alright then be here tomorrow at 10:00am.
Spider-man: great see ya then.
The next day.
It was Saturday and the Spider-man arrived a little later than the scheduled time because was helping Oji-san with something, the Ringmaster Jack was a reasonable man so everything was good. The other performers did their acts and Spider-man was next, before he went on, a blond girl in a short black dress came to him holding something in her arms.
Blond girl: um.
Spider-man: yes.
Blond girl: Jack wanted me to give you this[handing him a box].
he opened the box and in it was a new red and blue spandex costume.
Spider-man: Dōmo arigatō, please send my regards to Jack-san.
The girl blushes slightly and left. In the centre circle Jack was in a Ringmaster outfit holding a megaphone.
Ringmaster Jack: Ladies and Gentlemen!..Boys and Girls of all ages! What you are about to see has never been seen anywhere else!... i give you the One!... the Only!... the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN![pointing to the high wire].
Up at the high wire Spider-man was waving to the crowd and wearing the new costume the girl gave him. The costume is mostly blue with red fingerless gloves, boots that go to his ankles, mid-section, side of his hips and head. It had a web pattern that covers the red portions of the suit, starting at the mask. The suit also has a silver spider in the centre of the chest and a larger red spider on the back, both of different designs. The mask has white plastic lenses. With introductions out of the way it was time to get this show on the road and proceeded with the same high wire performance he did yesterday wowing the audience. Once the show was over Jack paid Takeru for a job well done, he was walking out of the tent when he heard a "STOP THEIF". And noticed a blond Caucasian man running towards him, Takeru simply stepped out of the way and let him escape. A police officer caught up with Takeru.
Officer: hey what are you deaf? All you had to was trip or hold him for a second.
Takeru: sorry pal I'm a circus performer not a cop[blowing it off and leaving].
1 week later.
Over the next week things were pretty good for Takeru, the circus gig was paying off big, he was respected by his fellow performers and school was a freaking breeze. But one night when he was coming home from a show he saw a police car at his house and rushed to see what happened, when he opened the door he saw Oba-chan on the couch crying and a detective comforting her, the detective came to the entrance where Takeru was standing looking confused?.
Takeru: Oba-chan what happened?.
Detective: son you might want to prepare yourself... your Uncle Daichi is dead.
Takeru: Oji-san... dead?[shocked expression] no... no it can't be.
Detective:[putting his hand on a depressed Takeo's shoulder]he was shot trying to stop a mugger, don't worry you've tracked him down to an abandoned warehouse in Kogane he won't get far.
Takeru:[quickly turning from depressed to angry] No i have to go[immediately dashed off to get to Kogane-cho but first he began changing into Spider-man] i know the old warehouse like the back of my hand, a man could hold off an army[putting on the mask last], but no one can hold off Spider-man!.
Spider-man now ready for action swung off to catch Oji-san's killer and end him.
Kogane-cho.
At the warehouse the police had the place surrounded and the killer with nowhere to run which was good for Spider-man who quietly stalked the criminal like a lion would. Except he was crawling on the walls so more like a spider
Criminal:[taking notice of his unfriendly visiter] who's there show yourself, who are you.
Spider-man: you worst nightmare![shooting a web knocking the gun out of the Criminal's hand].
Criminal: a... a guy who crawls on walls? And shoots a web like a spider?.
Spider-man:[came down from the wall and walked towards the Criminal] this is for the man you killed![sending him fly into the next room with a powerful punch holding nothing back as he walked closer to the criminal and picked him up by the collar he noticed the man's face] wait... no it can't be [flashback a week ago] it's the robber from last week the one i didn't stop when i had the chance [ putting down the criminal to grieve] and because of me [shedding tears through his mask] Oji-san paid the price.
The police grow tried of waiting and broke into warehouse all they found a lone gun on the floor, and the Criminal tied up in what appeared to be a giant spider web. Not to far from the scene Takeo still in costume without his mask on was crying believing that Oji-san's death was his fault.
To be continued.
