Spider-man:Keiji to sekinin
"we are who we choose to be"
3 months later Shikunshi residence.
It has 3 months since Oji-san was murdered and life had been pretty bad, Oba-chan had calmed down a bit but was still sad regardless and Takeru quit both the circus and going to school in favour of home schooling. Takeru still blames him self for the death of Oji-san and hasn't used his powers since that day but kept the Spider-man costume for sentimental reasons. One day Takeru was walking down the stairs to head out when heard Oba-chan talking to someone, he went into the dine to see who it was and saw Stan an old friend of the family from America he was on vacation in Japan and came in to say hello.
Stan: hey nice to see ya champ!.
Takeru: ...
Stan: oh I'm sorry Kon'nichiwa.
Etsuko: don't mind him Stan his been like that since... since "sob".
Stan: be strong Suko-chan he was a good man.
Etsuko: your right "sniff" your right.
Takeru: I'm heading out.
Etsuko: okay just be careful.
Takeru: i will, bye Oba-chan see ya later Stan.
Stan: see ya, what a nice kid.
Sometime later Shibuya.
Takeru had on a bomber jacket under a red t-shirt and blue jeans, he was just walking around Shibuya trying to clear his thoughts, he'd been doing this at least once a week since Oji-san was killed. He still blames himself for it and can't show his face at school and he hasn't told Oba-chan what happened it was probably better that way anyway. Takeru was so lost in thought he didn't notice the large shadow sneaking up behind him. Takeru felt that strange buzzing in his head again, then 2 muscular arms wrapped around him and lifted him off the ground. He turned to see it was some jock from his school, next some kid with glasses was examining him, finally a 16 year old with black hair and amber eyes in a female school uniform with a arm band on her left arm walked up to him. Takeru knew this girl, her name was Keiikunshu Keiko she's head of student council and her father just happens to the richest man in Tokyo and the mayor. She stopped right in front of the boy.
Keiko: so your the student how's been absent for 3 months.
Takeru: ... "stare".
Jock: show some respect Punk!.
Keiko: that's enough Orokana, put him down.
Jock: [complying with the order and let Takeru down].
Takeru: [standing up].
Keiko: now then lets talk.
Takeru: i have nothing to say to you [and walks away but is stopped by the Jock].
Jock: hey were do you think your going.
Takeru: anywhere your not.
Keiko: look Shikunshi-san, i know your Uncle meant a lot to you, but you need to move on.
Takeru: do you know what it's like to lose someone that mean everything and it's because of your own mistake, you don't understand anything your just some idiot!.
Jock: why you!.
The Jock grabbed a hold of Takeru who using his hidden Spider strength shrugged it off like it was nothing. Takeru then trusted his palm into the brute's chest intending to simply shove him a side but accidentally used more strength than intended sending the over grown teen into a nearby wall. Everyone was shocked by what even Takeru, he had no idea he could do that. Confused Takeru just ran as far as he could go with Keiko and that glasses kid chasing him down. Once in an alley Takeru wall jumped to get on to the roof of a building to escape those 2. with the coast clear Takeru was about to head home,but then that buzzing happened again and turned around to see a tall older looking girl behind him. The girl had long black hair with purple streaks, and silver eyes, she wore a black shirt with a skull on it and a purple skirt under a black jacket. The girl just looked at him with a smile.
?: hi!.
Takeru: umm hello can i help you.
?: where are my manners, name's Yoru Kurai and i saw what do did back there to that guy.
Takeru: you did?.
Kurai: yup!.
Takeru: what are you a secret agent?.
Kurai: nope.
Takeru: then what?.
Kurai: just a curious civilian is that a crime.
Takeru: do you really want to know?.
Kurai: ya i do.
Takeru: alright grab a chair.
Kurai: better yet we can talk about it at my place, my apartments not to far from here.
Later at Kurai's apartment.
Once there Takeru told her why he was being chased and how he got his powers, he even showed her some wall crawling and learned the buzzing in his head was some kind of warning alarm for danger and called it "the Spider-sense". Her apartment was fairly standard for a place in Shibuya except it had some photography stuff around the a couple rooms, see Kurai was a journalist for the Jōhō time's a newspaper publisher in Tokyo and was out looking for a story when she bumped into Takeru.
Kurai: that's some story.
Takeru: yeah.
Kurai: so you haven't told anyone.
Takeru: other than you, no.
Kurai: and you haven't been to school in how long?.
Takeru: 3 months, I'm just not in the mood to deal those people.
Kurai: here's some advice kid, go to school don't throw your future away.
Takeru: sounds like you'd been through the same situation.
Kurai: i lost my little brother a long time ago my whole family took it hard, still not over it.
Takeru: were you 2 close.
Kurai: closer any brother or sister would ever be.
Takeru: most siblings i know would drive each other crazy, but you make it sound the opposite.
Kurai: [slight laugh] i kind of do.
Takeru: i should go, Oba-chan's probably worried sick.
Kurai: okay see ya.
Takeru left Kurai's place and headed home, he heeded her advice and started going back to school not before apologizing for the way he acted. Over the next week Takeru and Kurai started seeing each other more and more, just as friend's Kurai was in her early 20's while Takeru was still trying to get into college and it would be weird for both of them. She also got to know Oba-chan pretty well sort of becoming another member of the family.
Shibuya.
Oba-chan went out to see a movie with her friend Anzu and it was a nice day to just have fun, a day in Shibuya was a day with kitten's and rainbow's, however as Murphy's law states any thing that can go wrong, will go wrong and in many if not all cases it does and was about to go wrong. Out of literally nowhere a think green fog rolled in and formed at the centre of the square and out came a man dressed in a purple robe, wearing a green cape and a fish bowl-like dome over his head. All eyes where on this odd character who surprised everyone.
?: greetings people of Tokyo, i am Mysterio! The master of all evil, i am here to conquer this world starting with your city.
All the civilians just broke out into giant laughter at the ridiculously dressed individual.
Random civilian: Mysterio now I've seen everything! HaHa!.
Mysterio: [angered by there laughing] Do not you mock me pathetic Fools!, your fate is sealed.
And out of nowhere again?, Mysterio summoned an army of Oni to terrorize the city which sent everyone into panic and the city into chaos.
Shikunshi residence.
Far from the madness happening downtown Kurai came over to hang with Takeru while Oba-chan was out. They were rummaging through some old stuff and found shurikens, kunais, smoke bombs and other Ninja weapons and equipment including an orange scarf made of silk. Takeru's family descended from a line of Ninja warriors of ancient Japan, they stopped looking when a news bulletin came up on T.V.
News reporter: breaking news from downtown, Shibuya is being ransacked by a mysterious dome headed man calling himself Mysterio [ showing images of the chaos happening at this moment and one image showed Oba-chan being attacked].
Takeru: Oba-chan!?[seeing her in danger he tried to go their and save her but was stopped by Kurai].
Kurai: wow there cowboy where do you think your going?.
Takeru: saving my family what's it look like to you?.
Kurai: uh it looks like your charging head first into a war zone.
Takeo: if i don't do something Oba-chan and countless others will get hurt, i already lost Oji-san I'm not losing Oba-chan to!.
Kurai: your hearts in the right place just not your head[thinking and spotting Oji-san's Ninja equipment and Takeo's suit she got an idea] you need a disguise[grabbing the Spider-man suit].
Takeru: i don't know.
Kurai: Takeru my dad once said, "there comes a time when we need to make our own decisions" well [handing him the mask] I'd say that time is now.
Thinking about Oji-san and being inspired by her words, Takeru put on that costume, snapped on his web-shooters, slapped on some fore arm and knee armour, grabbed 2 dozen Shurikens and smoke bombs, then wrapped the scarf around his neck.
Kurai: it'll be dangerous out their so be careful.
Takeru/Spider-man: while let's get dangerous.
Shibuya.
Back to the action so to speak all of Shibuya was turned on to it's ear, everyone was terrified of Mysterio's power, the police coordinate stop him, No one could stop him. Mysterio demanded that the mayor come down to Shibuya square and hand over control of Tokyo to him or he'd destroy all of Japan. Half an hour of waiting, started to test Mysterio's patience and he shot a fire ball at a near by building causing a large chunk to start falling on a mother and child standing underneath it, at the last second a large puff of smoke appeared, as soon as it cleared they were on the other side of the street. Confused by the sudden event Mysterio looked in every direction, then 2 Shurikens wizzed by his dome and scratched it, he then turned to the direction the Shurikens came from and saw Spider-man hanging on the side of a building with just one hand.
Mysterio: who are you!.
Spider-man:[jumped of and lands on the side walk] I am the champion of mystery and justice, the amazing ninja with the powers of a spider[doing a sailor moon type pose] Spider-man![finishing pose] in the name of Tokyo I'll punish you!.
Mysterio: I'll be the one to punish you!.
Spider-man: bring it on fish bowel!.
Mysterio sent his minions after Spider-man who promptly kicked and punched them aside, when he hit them the monsters exploded into smoke. Spider-man then charged at Mysterio with a Kunai in hand, but Mysterio summoned a large concrete wall to hinder his attack.
Mysterio: what's the matter spider?, hit a bump in the road.
Spider-man: if there's a wall in my way I'll just[running at the wall to gain speed in order to climb over it only to faze through it and trip] go right through it?. So your really all smoke and mirrors.
Then Mysterio retaliated with shot a couple fire balls, which Spider-man effortlessly dodged. Ol' fish bowel kept up the fire balls while Spidey kept up the dodging.
Mysterio: Mysterio-sama is no mere charlatan, Mysterio-sama is a true! Sorcerer, Mysterio-sama is the master of all! Magic!.
Spider-man: well Mysterio-sama is the master of talking in the 3rd person.
Mysterio: enough of this banter![readying another fire ball] it's time to end this.
Spider-man: I agree[shooting web at Mysterio's dome head thing? Blinding him].
Mysterio: argh!.
Spider-man:[setting up a web-slingshot after building enough tension he fires himself of the slingshot and punching Mysterio so hard his dome gets sent flying off his head and he gets slammed into the side of a car, and Spider-man landed on his feet] because I got better things to do than beat up screwy megalomaniacs.
Mysterio: [getting up from the impact without his dome helmet revealing his face, that of a simple Otaku with thick glasses] well you'd better clear your schedule.
Spider-man: What the!?... That's what you look like under that fish bowel?.
Mysterio: what?.
Spider-man: It's not that I'm disappointed, I was kind of expecting some kind of alien creature or a horribly disfigured face underneath, not a kid.
Mysterio: Your not that taller than I am!.
Spider-man: Oi! I'm in High school!.
Mysterio: And I'm in college!.
Spider-man: then why are you a super villain?.
Mysterio: I figured I'd make something of myself with my talents.
Spider-man: by taking over the world through fashion designing?.
Mysterio: No! Through magic!.
Spider-man: psst please you call this magic?.
Mysterio: No this is what i call magic!.
And in a flash Mysterio became surrounded in purple fog and and transformed into a Colossal Dragon, Spider-man had a second to act as the Dragon breathed a massive stream of fire. Spider-man began web-swinging to avoid being roosted, but the Dragons attention changed to the civilians still in the area. It was about to burn everyone to ashes until Spider-man gave it a swing-kick to the head throwing the Dragon's aim off, he then jumped on to the Dragon's back and held on for dear life as the beast began trashing about to shake him off. Spider-man thought for a second and used his "venom strike" to knock the Dragon out but had little effect, so leaped to the head and brought it down with a powerful punch. Spider-man looked at the Dragon a hatch on it's back opened up and Mysterio climbed out, apparently the Dragon was a robot covered in some synthetic skin. Mysterio tried to run away but Spider-man took him down with a hard punch to the face, knocking him out and webbed him up and left so the police could take the looney off to prison. Not to far from the scene Kurai was taking picture's of the action.
3 days later at Kurai's apartment.
News reports of Spider-man's fight with Mysterio was on T.V, Takeru was watching while Kurai counted the money she got from the picture she took. Every copy newspaper the Jōhō time's published on Spider-man sold out, it was clear they could make a career off this together.
Kurai: what'cha thinking about.
Takeru: a lot of stuff.
Kurai: like what?.
Takeru: everything... my powers, Oji-san, Mysterio.
Kurai: you did good out there kid.
Takeru: ya your right and I'm going to keep doing good because I now know that with Great Power there must also come Great Responsibility[got up and started leaving].
Kurai: where you going?.
Takeru: [getting his costume on] I'm going for a swing.
Elsewhere.
A local jewelry store was being robbed by a couple of goons, but were stopped knocked out and webbed up as Spider-man arrived and faded away into the night, like a Ninja.
To be continued.
