Shibuya, Tokyo-Downtown Area:
"Help!" Was a woman's cry as her purse was stolen from her by a nameless thief. As he was running away down the city street's into the night, he was suddenly tripped by an outstretched leg.
"Dude I don't think you want this purse it is soooo not your color." Replied the tripper, who was Spider-Man.
"Screw you!" Screamed the man as he charged the costumed hero who caused him to fall, too angry to wonder who this person was. However the hero simply sidestepped the attempted tackle and hit the thug with a well placed punch (that he held back with a bit because of his enhanced strength) to the face that knocked him out.
"And another one bites the dust." Spider-Man sang jovially. He collected the purse and made his way back to the woman who was in the process of calling the police, when Spider-Man landed in front of her with her purse held out to her.
"I believed you ordered one stolen purse." Spider-Man said to the woman who took said purse in numbed shock.
"So…I believe your calling the police."
A nod.
"Cool, tell them there's one knocked out guy back there." The wall crawler said while pointing behind him.
Another nod.
"Did that guy hurt you?"
A shake of her head.
"Alright awesome. Well…see ya." The hero said while walking away with his back turned while waving his hand.
"Wait!" The woman yelled getting over her shock. "Thank you and who are you?"
He turned towards her and said, "Oh you know." He then back flipped towards a wall landing on it and sticking to its surface. "Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man."
He crawled up towards the roof and proceeded to jump away once on top of the building away from the crime scene leaving the woman in more shock then before.

Shibuya, Tokyo-Residential Area:
'Well this is turning out to be a good endeavor on my part.' Tsukune a.k.a. Spider-Man thought while jumping his way home via rooftop. The time being close to 2 in the morning. 'I beat some baddies, dropped some quips, and now heading home to have a long conversation with my bed.'
Seeing his home come into view he made another gigantic leap and stuck to the wall next to his window. Climbing into his room he started to shed off his costume and carefully hid it behind his shelf of manga after moving the shelf with his enhanced strength.
Now only in his boxers he climbed into his bed and let sleep claim him.
Unknown Location:
Saizo Komiya was looking around with wonder in the room he was alone in. After Kiria gave him a tour of the organization he was a part of called Anti-Thesis. He led Saizo to this room saying it would hold a way for him to have more power.
Behind the glass observing the room was Kiria along with several technicians and scientists that were preparing the room for Saizo's power up.
"Hey Kiria I bought what you're selling with this group, but I don't see how standing in here will help me get more powerful." Saizo said skeptically.
Kiria just gave a cheerful smile. "Well Saizo-kun, my group is in the interest of making Super-Yokai. By mixing Yokai DNA with anything from a genetic structure to a state of matter. This facility is only one of our many secret bases throughout Tokyo that we bring test subjects to experiment on."
"Wait…experiments?" Saizo said with sudden realization as his eyes widened.
Kiria's smile then turned malicious. "That's right in other words you're our latest guinea pig."
Next thing Saizo knew the room was starting to fill with sand as electricity started to go off from the lights in the room. Before Saizo could react the sand started to cling…no be absorbed into his body.
Saizo screamed as every cell in his body felt like it was on fire. His body started to slowly lose its structure and turn into sand, until there was nothing left in the room but a pile of sand.
Kiria looked at results in disappointment. "Oh darn another failure. Well you know what they say back to the drawing board." As he was about to turn to leave the sand in the room started to rise and slowly take shape into the now sandy form of Saizo.
"You son of a bitch!" Saizo yelled at Kiria as he threw his hand at the glass he was behind, with his hand turned into a giant sand fist and impacted against the glass that did not shatter.
"Now, now Saizo-kun. I apologize for tricking you into being an experiment without your consent, but look at what your capable of now." Kiria said placated Saizo calmly with his cheerful smile back in place. "You should look at the positives attacks can now just past through you, you can manipulate any part of your limbs, turn parts of yourself into stone like weaponry, and so much more."
Saizo looked at himself and thought of the possibilities. He was still mad at Kiria for doing this without his approval, but now he thought of the power he now had.
"Alright I see a little bit of what you're getting at." Saizo said rationally.
"Perfect! Now you can test your abilities at that school that sees fit to allow humans to breathe the same air as Yokai even if the humans are unaware. I never got why us Yokai especially us hybrids had to hide form humans. With your new power you can show both humans and Yokai that we hybrids deserve to be recognized for our superior strength. "
Saizo's response was a malicious grin.

Shibuya, Tokyo-Issa Shuzen's Penthouse- The Following Morning:
Mornings for Issa Shuzen were simple enough get up, take care of his bathroom needs, and get dressed.
He was the head of his company P.U.R.E (Pharmaceutical United Researchers and Engineers). A company that specialized in researching medicine and genetics for the betterment of all life forms. That was the cover story the truth was much deeper than that.
As Issa was getting ready to eat the breakfast one of his maids made he turned on the TV to view the morning news.
"In local news, there have been late night sightings of a masked vigilante by the name of Spider-Man. Multiple eyewitness reports talk of the daring individual that has so far stopped several muggings, break-ins, and assaults. These acts done by this Spider-Man character seems to be in response to the recent rise in crime in Tokyo."
Issa Shuzen was a hard man to surprise even with this report all he did was raise a eyebrow in response to this bit of news.
"Well this could of solve the mystery of where one little spider went." Issa said with a little interest in his tone.

Shibuya, Tokyo-On the way to Ditko Lee High School:
Tsukune gave a little yawn as he walked to school. His little midnight outing was starting to tire him a little. He resolved that he should probably find a way to go out earlier.
"Freeze Spider-Man!"
Hearing that Tsukune eyes widened as he turned around to the source of the voice, but he immediately calmed down as he saw that it was only his young Yukari who was giggling a little.
"Dammit Yukari-chan are trying to make me die of a heart attack!" exclaimed Tsukune in exasperation.
"Sorry but it was the perfect moment, desu!" Yukari giggling some more. Tsukune noticed that there was a newspaper in her hand.
"What's with the paper checking your horoscope?" Tsukune asked pointing to the newspaper.
"You're on page 6." Yukari said as she opened the paper to said page and showed it to her friend.
Tsukune saw a blurry picture of him in costume punching a thug.
"Spider-man: Midnight Vigilante." Tsukune said reading the title of the article.
"This is awesome, desu!" Yukari said in excitement. "You're actually making a difference and you've got to show me your costume."
"Easy my sugar-high friend. Keep your voice down I don't want anyone knowing who I am and I have my costume on under my clothes." Tsukune said.
"Why not carry your costume in a bigger bag?" Yukari asked.
"I kind of overslept which made me rush this morning. Good thing it's fall imagine if it was summer this would be scorching to wear. Still uncomfortable though I think I got a wedgie."
"I could do without that image thank you. Oh! I almost forgot." Yukari then reached into her bag and gave Tsukune two silver bracelets with folded triggers. "Ever since you told me what you were going to do I got an idea what to do with that adhesive fluid you saw me making. I present to you my latest invention the web-shooters."
"Neat…how do they work?" Tsukune asked.
"By spraying the fluid in cartridges out of the nozzle at the end the fluid knits and hardens into a web-line that can stick to most surfaces, is flame retardant, carry a significant amount of weight, and various other uses. To activate it you have to press the triggers twice in rapid succession by your two middle fingers." Yukari said finishing her lengthy explanation with a look of pride at her work.
Tsukune picked her up in a gentle hug being careful with his strength. "You are the greatest and cutest little genius any friend can ask for." Tsukune said.
Yukari just gave a huge grin. "That's right bask in my awesome,desu." She said a little smug.

A Distance from Dikto Lee High School:
Heading towards the school with a malicious grin on his face was Saizo Komiya now dressed in a green wife beater, tan jeans, and brown boots.
'Hope the school's ready for my little homecoming. They must have been missing me, especially Aono.' Saizo thought.
He was leaving a little trail of sand in his wake still having trouble keeping his form, with being new to his powers.
'I wonder if I should buy him a coffin, it would be rude to bury him in sand without something to put him in.' Saizo thought in dark humor towards what he was going to do to Aono and then the school.

Ditko Lee High School:
"Tsukune-kun, Yukari-chan!" called one Moka Akashiya as she spotted her two friends out of the sea of students In the couryard.
"Morning Moka-chan!" Yukari yelled running up to her friend with Tsukune trailing up behind her.
"Morning Yukari-chan!" Moka responded back then she turned to Tsukune. "Morning Tsukune-kun! Here's your manga back." Moka said while handing the spider powered teen his manga.
"Thanks I hope they were interesting." Tsukune said to the cheerful pink haired Rosario wearing girl.
"They were especially Sket Dance. You have good taste in manga." Moka said happily.
Tsukune was about to respond back but then his spider-sense started to go off.
'My spider-sense, but why here at school?' Tsukune thought in panic, as he followed his spider-sense to where the source of the danger was.
He looked and saw Saizo Komiya walking slowly in a confident gait towards the school with an arrongant smirk on his face.
"Well if it isn't Aono and his bratty twirp. Just who I wanted to see." Saizo said stopping a few feet from them.
"Saizo can't you just stop this little "wanting to beat me up campaign" you're running." Tsukune said as his spider-sense became even louder in his head, moving to stand in front of Yukari and Moka to protect them. With a crowd of students gathering around them.
"Would love to but you disrespected me and I can't have that plus," Then to their shock and the students, Saizo's hand turned into a mace that looked like it was made out of…sand? "I have a school that's due to be demolished." He raised his mace hand towards Tsukune.
It was all in slow motion for Tsukune as the crowd of students started to scream in fear and run in terror. His body ran on instinct plus spider enhanced awareness of his surroundings. He turned grabbed both Moka and Yukari and dove towards the ground as Saizo's mace fist barely missed him and his friends.
"Run, run, run, run!" Tsukune urged in slight panic to his friends as he pushed them towards the school. The panic crowd quickly separated him from his friends unfortunately as he was led to a wall of the courtyard out of Saizo's view. Saizo was quickly using giant sand fists to destroy benches, trees, and other school property with a look of glee on his face.
'Someone's gotta do something.' Tsukune thought in desperation. 'I gotta do something.' Tsukune pushed down his fear and gathered up his courage with a determined look on his face. 'This isn't a petty criminal this is something way more dangerous that's putting everyone at risk.'
He dropped his bag, put on the web-shooters that Yukari gave him from his pocket, and unbuttoned his school shirt revealing a red spider symbol.

With the School Crowd:
Everyone was in panic as something only found in science fiction was coming towards them with that same malicious grin on his face.
Yukari was holding onto Moka in fear as she looked around for her missing friend. "Where's Tsukune?" Yukari asked worried for her pseudo big brother.
"He must have gotten separated in the crowd. I hope he's alright." Moka responded also worried for Tsukune.
Saizo looked around in amusement at the fear in everyone's face. Teachers who were at the scene or have just now gotten there were also wrapped in fear.
"Well who wants to be first victim any takers?" Saizo asked in dark glee.
"Ooh, me,me,me!" A voice called out as Saizo was kicked in the face suddenly his head deforming then reforming out of sand, he was knocked off his feet and launched away from the student's. "I just love being chosen for crowd participation at a show."
Saizo quickly stood up as he eyed the figure that kicked him who was now standing in front of the students and teachers. The figure was dressed in a black bodysuit with red cobwebs and spider design with black mask that had giant white eyepieces.
"Stop being all homicidal if you want to get into the school you need to apply like everyone else and take an exam." The figure said like he was chiding a child, even wagging his finger for effect. "So… who are you the Stupendous Sandbox Teen?"
"It's Sandman." Saizo said in annoyance. "Who are you suppose to be?"
"Oh you know." The figure then took something that resembled a fighting stance. "Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man."
