The Amazing Spiderman: Reborn
Volume 1 Issue 3
The Amazing Spiderman vs. Green Goblin
PREVIOUSLY: The two Goablienns launched the Symbiote to Earth to find its Avatar. Alex Black escaped from Agent Clark and ran into a nearby swamp where he found an alien pod. The Symbiote inside the pod attached itself to him and downloaded the powers and knowledge of all the spiders in the known universe to him. He managed to detach it before losing all of his memories. He then fought Agent Clark and his men, discovering his new spider powers. He escaped the facility and headed home via Quinjet. The Goablienns found the Symbiote and are headed to find him.
1404 BRIGHTON AVENUE, MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, 12:30 am
1404 Brighton Avenue was the address of the park across the street from my house. It also was the biggest non-national park in the U.S.A. and so I managed to find an open area where there were no New Yorkers and landed the jet.
I hurried out of the jet so I wouldn't be around when someone found it. I managed to pave my way through the park and when I came to the end I looked across the street to my house.
No soldiers were in sight and everything seemed fine. My mom and dad's cars were parked out front.
I better check the roofs just in case. I brought my right hand up, index finger, pinkie and thumb pointing out as the middle and ring finger were held back. Webs shot out of my wrist and a voice rang in my head, 90% of all spiders in the Universe have an ability to produce a silk like thread that for some is virtually indestructible. This allows for the ability to create web nests and traps for prey. It also allows them to move quickly between two places.
How the hell do I know that? I thought as I checked right and left to make sure no one was looking.
Nobody was watching so I swung to the top of the roof with a loud ZIP!
There were no soldiers on any of the adjacent roofs. Agent Clark had been lying.
I hopped back to the ground as the same voice, I realized it to be mine, rang through my head. Some spiders from the planets Earth, Gortia, Megla, Xormin, Aeth and other worlds in the Milky Way and surrounding Galaxies have the ability to leap over objects and for long distances.
Weird, I rang the doorbell.
My mom came to the door, her eyes puffy and red.
"Oh my God! Alex! It's you!" She exclaimed.
"Yeah," I said as I walked inside. My entire family came out of different rooms and I was surprised to notice that they'd all been crying.
"Leon said to wait. Said you'd find a way back. He was right," my mom hugged me and the entire family shouted in joy and hugged me.
"Yeah, Mom, everyone, I got into some trouble but I managed to get back and I'm afraid that the government may be coming after me right now," I began but my Dad interrupted, "What trouble? What did you do?"
"Me, nothing. The Government, a lot. Listen, I'm gonna find out how to sort this out. I'm going to go up and change and if anyone, no matter who they say they are, asks for me, tell them I'm gone," the looks they gave me made me realize they didn't believe me, "Please," I begged.
"Fine. Go up and change. Hurry," my mom spoke first.
I ran up to my room. It was covered in comics and books and clothes. I took off everything I was wearing and had just gotten in the shower when I heard the doorbell ring. Oh, shit.
I hurried out of the shower and turned it off. I dried myself off quickly and as I was leaving the bathroom I heard my mother open the door and say, "Um…hello? What can I do for you at 12:30 in the morning?"
I hurried into my room and threw on boxers and shorts and I heard what sounded like a grown man about my dad's age say, " We're Agents Smith and Doe from the C.I.A. We're looking for your son. He's wanted for the murder of two police officers and the use of illegal drugs."
What type of BS is that? My mom would never believe that! Two C.I.A. agents doing something a cop does everyday!
I put my cell phone in my right pocket and put on socks and shoes.
"Oh I'm sorry. My son hasn't returned home since earlier today. We've been worried sick and to hear this…" my mom faked her best crying.
"I love you mom," I whispered to myself and smiled. "Now, how the hell am I going to get out of here?" I put on Under Armor and began to look for a clean shirt, "And how the hell am I going to be swinging on webs in public without…" and that's when it hit me. I pulled open all my drawers and I heard the man say downstairs, "Oh well, can we have a look around? He may have hidden a weapon or drugs in his room. Can you show us to his room?"
"Um, no. Can we do this in the morning? Not now please. It's late and I'm tired," My mom asked.
I was moving faster than I ever had before. And right when I was about to give up and finding it, I saw a bit of red under my bed.
"No, we have to do this now," I heard a woman now say.
I reached under my bed and pulled out a red Spiderman T-shirt and a red mask, black line etched through it, and white eyes staring blankly at me.
1 YEAR AGO
It had been thirty minutes and I'd climbed down a ladder all the way to the ground from the roof to see Spiderman's body carried away by an Emergency vehicle. His torn mask lay on the ground, untouched, in the middle of Times Square. The whole area was surrounded by yellow police tape. The Police were everywhere. One of the officers looked at me and looked at the mask. He went forward, picked it up and walked over to me.
" I don't think he'll be needin' this anymore," He dropped the mask into my hand.
I'd walked home in silence, the mask hanging limply in my hand.
I walked through my front door and my mom walked out of the kitchen, her face bright pink. "Where the hell were you?" She screamed.
"Have you seen the news?" I said.
"Yes," She said firmly.
"Then you know," I walked up to my room and lay the mask gently on my nightstand. I took my glasses off and lay them on top of the mask. I fell asleep almost instantly.
I woke up from the sun burning through the window in my room. I turned over to look at my clock, it was 10:33. Something was missing. I stared at my nightstand for a minute and then realized the mask was gone.
During breakfast the news was about Spiderman, Spiderman and guess what? Spiderman. After I'd eaten I looked through the entire house but couldn't find it. I asked my parents, my little brother; they all said they didn't know.
I gave up and my life was boring and sad for the next 18 days.
BACK TO THE PRESENT
I slipped on the mask and T-shirt and opened the window in my room just as I hear footsteps coming up the stairs and I shot webs out to a tree and swung away.
"Thank you for not arguing any further with us Mrs. Black. Ah, so this is his room," Agent Doe said.
Agent Doe looked disgustedly at the room, it was a mess. She looked up and saw the window open.
"You lied to us. He was here," she said coldly, "Where would he go?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, honestly. He must have snuck in…I also don't know where he would go! A friends house…the school…Times Square…" My mom said.
"Times Square? Why Times Square?" Agent Smith asked.
"You know, because of the…because of Spiderman's death. Spiderman was his hero."
TIMES SQUARE
"Woohoo!" I yelled in delight as I flew through the air. I shot another web out and swung to another building. People all around were staring at me. I heard a kid yell, "Spiderman! Look it's Spiderman!"
I continued to swing around the city when,
CRASH
I flew through the air as something big and green landed on top of a roof by me. I managed to land on my feet on a conjoining roof and looked at the thing.
"Hello Alex," the green thing said.
"What the hell are you and how do you know my uh…secret identity?" I asked.
The thing was constantly changing shape and it gave off this…aura of power.
"My name is Gurin Goablinn, you probably know me as Agent Doe and Agent Smith," The thing separated into two things and they changed into a middle aged man in a trench coat and a woman in a pink dress.
"You were the people my mom was talking to!" I stated.
"Yes. I come from an extraterrestrial race that's name, correctly translated to your tongue, is be something like Goablienn or Goblin. We were an extremely advanced race until our sun went supernova without any warning and everyone died. Obviously I didn't die and now I'm going to force you to be the Avatar," both of them said as the male raised the red Symbiote.
I tried to think of something to say and simply blurted out, "How can you be two people?"
"Ah, yes. I guess I can enlighten you since you will be my Avatar. You see, I come from a royal race. We are the green-skinned Goablienns and my sister had the special ability to change her appearance and split herself into two people, which even for my royal line, is rare. She predicted that the sun was about to supernova but nobody believed her. So, she prepared a ship to leave with me. But soon people discovered her plot to leave and killed her right in front of me. I vowed to avenge her and so I took some of her DNA and infused it with out Symbiote technology to create the ultimate deoxyribonucleic acid amalgamator. I mixed my own DNA with hers, which I must say, drove me a little insane but gave me her powers. I then killed the people who killed her and left our planet. I guess you could say I have multiple personality disorder, as I believe it is called on your Earth, and like to believe my sister is right her with me."
"Wow. That's actually really sad," I said, "But I'm not going to let you make me your slave to destroy my world just because yours was destroyed."
Just then a helicopter flew right above us.
" Spiderman you are under arrest for killing multiple government officers. Unknown alien life form, please come quietly as well. You have not registered to join out planet. Raise your hands above your head and do not fight back," the voice came form the helicopter.
"What?" Gurin Goablinn and I screamed at the same time.
"What type of joke is this?" he said.
"I didn't kill anyone!" I yelled, "Are you joking?"
"Ah, yes, that would be me," Gurin Goablinn said and he merged into one large, green, goblin-looking-thing. He jumped up and grabbed the helicopter.
Guns fired on him from the helicopter but they seemed to not bother him and he threw the helicopter into a building. The building began to crumble onto civilians.
"No!" I screamed.
"Now, Spiderman, will you come with me quietly or am I going to have to kill more innocent people. Oh and yes, please take into account you're going to kill them later when you're my Avatar," Gurin Goablinn laughed maniacally.
1 YEAR AGO
I turned 13 on June 20, 2030. I woke up and came downstairs to see all my family waiting, presents in hand. I'd gotten everything I'd wanted. I was happy! And then I got the best present of all.
My mom had disappeared to her room for the previous few minutes and I'd begun to get curious but I let it go. After five minutes of her absence I was about to start playing Call of Duty World at War 2 when a hand tapped me on the shoulder.
My mom held out to me a perfectly clean, sowed up mask.
Tears came to my eyes and I hugged my mother for what seemed like an hour. That mask was the most important object I owned. Not because it would sell for a billion dollars. Not because of who wore it but because of what it stood for and what it meant to me.
After hugging my mom I was about to put on the mask when a piece of paper fell out.
"What's that?" I looked to my mother.
"I don't know, honestly. I didn't notice it in the mask when I fixed it," She said honestly.
I picked it up and read it slowly,
"With great power comes great responsibility."
TIMES SQUARE
Those words rang through my head as the world seemed to move in slow motion.
With great power comes great responsibility.
"NO!" I screamed as I jumped off the building into the crowd of civilians. I shot webs out my wrists to a pole and to another building as fast as I could to make a web net.
Luckily I seemed to be moving super fast and I stopped it before the rubble could hit the civilians.
50% of all Spiders in the Universe have the ability to move at extremely quick speedsd
"Everyone! Leave!" I yelled motioning for civilians to leave.
They all ran chaotically away and I turned to Gurin Goablinn who jumped to the ground, "So, big, green and ugly, ready to get your ass whooped Spider Style."
He looked at the Symbiote in his hand and said, "Screw this. I can always find another Avatar." He merged with the Symbiote it seemed and it sunk into his body.
He ran straight at me, "I'm going to squash you like a bug!"
I flipped right over him, "Oh really?" I landed on my feet turned around and punched him square in the jaw, "Did you know 100% of the spiders in the Universe have the ability to kick serious ass!"
He went flying straight into a building," 'Specially the Spiderman kind."
He stood up and said, "You're dead." He transformed his arm into what looked like a cannon and shot fire out of it.
"Ooh. Hot! Hot!" I said jumping from one to place to another trying to dodge his fire barrage.
I dodged one last time and then shot webs pulling him towards me, "Batter up."
He flew straight towards me and I uppercut him right in the stomach, "Home run!" He flew straight into the sky.
I shot webs at him and they latched on, "Ooh it looks like the out fielder caught it," and I threw him into the ground, "And threw it straight to third for the double!"
He began to get up but I jumped on him, now getting angry, "You are not going to get up!" I yelled as I pummeled him with my fists over and over again.
"Stop," I stopped hitting him and he smiled at me. " I give up."
"Like I'll believe that! That's complete bull!" I was about to punch him again when he said, "Yes it was," He grabbed me and threw me up and punched me in the gut when I fell down.
I heard my ribs crack. "Damn, that hurt."
"It's about to get a lot worse," He said and he picked me up, "Any last words?"
50% of spider bites cause extreme pain and temporary paralysis.
"Yeah, three. Spider bites suck," I said and I raised a hand and made it into a claw position and dug my nails into his arm.
"Wha-?" He stood there frozen and I jumped out of his hands.
Spiders from the world Goblirus have the ability to temporarily increase their density.
"I met my maker. You. And now you're face is going to meet my fist, arachnis goblinus style!" I punched him straight in the nose, just like I did to Agent Clark the day before.
He fell to the ground unconscious as army cars and police cars pulled up.
"He's all yours!" I said and I zipped away.
THE NEXT DAY
I woke up to the sweet smell of homemade waffles. I walked downstairs slowly and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey," I said to my mom.
She turned around, "Where were you last night?"
"Times Square."
"What? What were you doing there? Alex you're not…" My mom said.
"Spiderman? No. But I wanted to go there and think. I got some sweet pics of this new Spiderman in action!" I said and I pulled out my phone.
A huge picture of me, Spiderman, punching Gurin Goablinn in the face covered the screen.
" You're cut and bruised." My mom said after she looked at me, ignoring the picture.
"Yeah. I got kind of trampled by the people running away."
"And you didn't actually kill anyone, right?"
"No. Those weren't government agents and I have the people who took me, won't be messing with me anymore," I said and smiled.
My little brother walked into the room, "Have you seen the newspaper?" He said and he held up his iPad 8, the Daily Bugle taking up the screen.
On the front page of the e-Newspaper was a picture of me and Gurin Goablinn going at it. The title read, "Hero or Menace?"
"Today, early this morning, a man in a spider suit appeared fighting a huge green goblin monster. This "Spiderman" fought the "Green Goblin" head to head and won but as soon as the police arrived, he ran. So is this phony really a hero, like Peter Parker, or just some masked vigilante? Does he fight for Truth, Justice and the American Way or is he just some fan boy phony playing hero? It appears that he is young and…"
I looked outside. I'd been given a gift and now it was time to use it. To use it to help people, to protect people, to be a hero. To be a superhero.
With great power comes great responsibility.
