Peter Parker looked up at a television as people fled the street.

Constrictoro had arrived and was on the bridge that led to Manhattan.

Peter rushed to the edge of the city where Constrictoro was sighted, while also looking for a place to become Spider-Man.

He went threw an empty building, and exited it threw it's window as Spider-Man.

Spider-Man swung across the streets, gliding threw the air, heading for the end of the city.

--------

Spider-Man slung and landed on the now empty bridge where Constrictoro was walking calmly.

He simply walked passed Spider-Man, pretending he wasn't there.

Spider-Man shot webbing onto his back and tried to pull Constrictoro down.

Constrictoro didn't budge, but only rotated a finger to cut the webbing.

"Don't worry." He said, now free, "You'll still die by my hand. Just not today."

And with that, he rushed for the city ahead.

"And the chase is on.", thought Spider-Man.

He burst into a run, himself, feeling his legs burn across the road.

He jumped up and shot webbing onto one of the bridge supports, swinging around it to accelerate the leap, flying strait for Constirctoro.

Constrictoro now leaped, himself, onto one of the supports. But only to send it crashing down on Spider-Man.

Spider-Man's leap out of the way was too late. The large pieces of metal collided with him and the road.

Breaking free, he saw Constrictoro far away.

Yet his reflexes told him to get out of the way.

He leaped, just in time, away from a car which zoomed passed him.

He looked about to see the bridge was no longer empty.

Cars were speeding from both ends.

Some, perhaps, didn't know Constrictoro was here. Others, perhaps, knew he was but didn't know he was occupying the way out.

Swooping away from another car, he swung under the bridge, quickly webbing his way threw it.

He heard what sounded like Constrictoro's heavy steps.

He swung around the bridge the way he swung around the supports, and collided on the surface with Constrictoro himself.

Constrictoro hit him, sending Spider-Man tumbling into the bridge.

A car drove right over him.

Spider-Man got up, and was about to give chase, again, when he saw the same car that ran over him head back.

As Spider-Man ran and leaped for Constrictoro; he saw the car was not on the road, at all.

He leaped over the swooping car as he dived under one flying above it.

He saw Constrictoro lift a truck, while still running, and thrust it at him.

Spider-Man leaped right onto the truck and ran across it, midair.

An SUV crashed into him above the truck and he was sent hurtling back.

As he was trapped under the SUV's weight, he saw the truck he had climbed on fall right at him.

He lifted his free hand and shot three web torpedoes at the vehicle, which was now feet away from him.

The cargo part of the truck burst, sending rubble crashing down on him.

Spider-Man broke from the SUV just in time, and swung away from the scene.

Constrictoro was breaking threw various automobiles in a traffic jam, to gain passage off the bridge.

Spider-Man swung onto several passing cars to gain speed, before crashing into Constrictoro and sending them both off the bridge and onto a small ship, nearby.

Constrictoro tried to leap off the deck, but Spider-Man jumped in front of him; blocking the way.

"You know, if I were you" Said Constrictoro's low, softly rasped voice, "I wouldn't go provoking someone I tried to kill. He might take it personally. You see, he might think it's time to pay him back."

He made another move off the deck, only to be blocked by Spider-Man, agian.

"You win." Constrictoro said, "Or lose."

Constrictoro hit Spider-Man across the chest, sending him twirling into the mast.

Constrictoro attacked again, causing Spider-Man to back up, onto the mast.

Stepping backward, while sideways.

Constrictoro stabbed into the mast, himself, and attacked a third time. sending Spider-Man further up the mast.

Constrictoro rotated his hand into a knife.

Spider-Man lifted both hands and fired two web balls with great force.

The two silk weapons smashed into Constrictoro's face.

Several pieces of Constrictoro's face flipped sides; slashing the webbing off, themselfs.

Constrictoro detached his feet from the mast and leaped to the top of it.

They both fought up to the edge of it, before Spider-Man stepped down to the other side of the mast, soon followed by Constrictoro.

Both now upside down, Spider-Man tangled two web cords across Constrictoro's throat.

As Constrictoro made to undo them, Spider-Man double back-flipped off the mast and broke open the ship's front.

Oil spilled into the harbor.

Spider-Man allowed the webbing on his wrist to curl into a half-torpedo shape before releasing it toward the engine.

The engine exploded, setting the oil on fire.

Constrictoro had been briefly distracted from untying himself, to look at the scene.

High temperatures were Constrictoro's only known weakness.

Spider-Man yanked the cords holding Constrictoro, sending him tumbling down to him.

Without hesitation, Spider-Man pulled Constrictoro off the deck and plunged his face into the flamed water.

Sending webbing everywhere, Spider-Man strove to keep Constrictoro there.

This time, he would make sure he knew where the melted crystals went.

Just then, Spider-Man heard an inhuman and yet un-animal roar from the closer side of the harbor.

He briefly looked up to see a plume of fire whoosh across the Manhattan sky.

"Why don't you go get them." Asked Constrictoro, knowing he had Spider-Man on a leash.

Spider-Man dunked Constrictoro into the fire.

He then aimed his hand for the bridge, and swung under it, heading for the other side.

When he got there, he saw something so strange, it didn't alarm him at once.

A giant, at least eight-foot tall lizard was attacking everything left, right, and center.

Anyone to his back was crushed by his possibly sixteen foot long tail.

Yet the lizard was standing, or slumping, like a man. And he wore cloths. White pants and a white shirt. Or what was left of them.

Spider-Man ran for the creature.

The creature struck first.

Pounding it's gigantic front foot into him.

Spider-Man shot a strong string of webbing, attempting to push the monster's large teeth away from biting him.

The creature lifted Spider-Man and threw him into the edge of the docks.

Spider-Man had no time to get up before the creature was back. Clawing and tearing at him with his teeth.

Spider-Man kicked the lizard back with all his energy.

The lizard lunged again, but Spider-Man had leaped back; webbing both of the creature's front legs from behind.

Spider-Man pulled on the webbing, trying to hold the lizard back from attacking.

But the lizard had already stopped trying. It had allowed the webbing to hold him, just panting slowly.

Then, it seemed to Spider-Man, the creature was not a creature at all. Nor a reptile, no an animal.

Then, before his eyes, it was a man he held with webbing.

The man fell half sideways.

Spider-Man let go before the face of Dr. Connors turned to him, with an almost animal look.

Blinking behind his mask in confusion, Spider-Man watched as the man turned and ran from the scene.
