Chapter 6: Disaster Strikes

"Indeed I was," the monster snarled.

Spider Man smirked behind the mask. "But before we do the whole me kicking your ass, I think introductions are in order, don't you think? I mean it's only fair to know who I'm going to humiliate."

"You think you're funny, boy?" he boomed.

Sider Man pretended to think. "Uh, yeah I am if I do say so myself but uh, not to insult you or anything but what's with the costume? You like birds or something?"

The man suddenly gave a dark threatening look. "If I were you, I would be wise as to who you're talking to."

Spider Man paused. "Nah. You guys are all the same."

Just like that, the vigilante released his webs at the fiend but he was quick enough to grab the webs and swung Spider Man around, throwing him out of the window which made people scream.

Spider Man gasped when he got thrown outside but he quickly used the shooters and swung around the Monument, going to the other side and smashed through another window, sliding down the ground.

The creature wasted no time and he grabbed Spider Man by the leg, throwing him once more. This time, Spider Man smashed through what it looked like an elevator. He gasped, pushing himself up only to stare with wide eyes.

Unfortunately for the elevator, the machine dropped down at an increasing rate and it smashed down below, crashing the glass elevator entrance.

"Don't," Spider Man replied as he slowly got up.

There he saw Liz who was in the hands of the enemy and he was threatening to drop her.

"Are you afraid, Spider Man?" the villain mocked him. "After all, she's just a one measly human. You wouldn't mind if I drop her, would you?"

"Let's…let's do this the right way. You don't need to do this," Spider Man spoke.

Behind the mask, the foe grinned nastily and slowly, his grasp began to be loose.

"Too late."

Liz gave out a gasp when she was suddenly dropped down.

Acting quickly, Spider Man hurriedly slid towards her and just in time, his web got extended out and managed to reach Liz in time who caught it with her hand. Spider Man halted himself by straightening his legs out to prevent him from slipping.

"Hang on!" Spider Man shouted.

Spider Man was still holding Liz and all he could hear her crying out.

"Don't let go of me!" she sobbed.

"I won't. I promise."

During this time, the adversary began to take his leave.

The blue and red hero began to pull her up, slowly and carefully and when she reached the top, Spider Man grabbed her but she stumbled from her footing and she collapsed on top of him.

"I'm sorry," she let out a shaky breath.

"It's fine. Are you alright? Are you okay?"

Liz nodded.

"Good. Go back to your friends and stay safe."

With that, the girl got up and went away but just as she left, Spider Man quickly released his web shooters and it grabbed hold of the creature who didn't get very far during his leave.

"You're not going anywhere!" Spider Man yelled, struggling to pull him down.

The fiend looked down and noticed the pest.

"Imbecile. It appears that you do not value your life."

"These people mean a lot to me. And I'm not about to let you hurt them!"

"Then be that as it may."

And then, the flying monster flew which carried Spider Man along with him. Spider Man gasped as he flew around the room. However, the bird-like creature grabbed the web, flinging Spider Man across the hall. The web crawler grunted but wasted no time by releasing both of his web shooters in attempt to tie the villain down.

It proved futile since the power of the enemy's suit was too strong, forcing Spider Man to slide. Unluckily, the web slinger got thrown once more and the two went head to head.

"You're just a weakling!" the creature snarled. "How can you hope to defeat me when you can't even save yourself?"

He then flung Spider Man down, crashing him down to the lower level.

People ran for cover from the crash as Spider Man groaned from pain. He hastily got himself up only to throw a nearby case display at the creature who dodged it.

"This is what people put their hopes in?" the creature sneered. "Pathetic."

It came too fast for Spider Man. As he released his web shooters, the flying monster zoomed straight at him, having his claw-like hand wrapped around Peter's neck as he slammed Spider Man down to the ground.

"I'll only give you a warning Spider Boy," the tone suddenly grew dark and cold. "If you value your life, do not come to me."

And then, the fiend let go of Spider Man who gasped for air. He coughed from the lack of oxygen but while the brute was walking away, Spider Man stumbled as he got up and he spoke.

"It's…Spider Man…" he croaked.

This made the villain stop. "What?"

"It's…Spider Man!" Spider Man replied, a bit loudly. And then, the web slinger released his webs that got attached to the enemy and with full force, Spider Man swung him around, having the creature to be smashed at the wall.

Once again, the villain got out of the spot and began to fly with Spider Man attaching to him after a second. As he was riding, Spider Man could hear the cheers.

"Go get him, Spider Man!" the crowd cheered.

The vigilante shielded his eyes from the broken shards of glass as the two crashed through the window. And he could feel some of the shards, ripping the suit. Eventually, the enemy made a large circle and then with great force, it managed to have Spider Man let go of his grip and he slammed into the brick side of the Monument. He groaned as he stared at the villain that flew away but having no choice, Spider Man stuck his hand to the building and turned himself around so he began climbing to the top.

It wasn't until then that he had heard voices so he turned around only to have eyes wide.

"Do not move."

Oh no…

Author's Note: Man, writing the action was actually a lot tougher than it looks. Woah. But I hope it went alright and it met your expectations. The elevator scene got me so stumped…but we got a glimpse of the Vulture ^^ but I had to stop the action here which is why the chapter so short—action is fun and all but it shouldn't be the main point of the story. Toodles!
