Sorry for the long wait had other things on. anyway here it is so enjoy (I own Eclipse, Jack, Dave and Caitlin, Marvel own the rest)
Chapter 8: Electric words
May suggested they go to the arcade as it was the place they used to go all the time and since she had become Spider-Girl having a social life was hard, but now with Jack's return and this Eclipse guy showing up and helping to clean the streets up with her…which was great but having Jack back was the best thing to happen to her since April came into her life.
It was great having a twin sister besides the symbiote DNA in her, she was still her sister and their bond was just as unbreakable just like her family's.
They stopped off at an arcade and decided to have a few rounds at air hockey and it was the one thing Jack wasn't good at as history taught him, whenever he played he always managed to either lose or injure his fingers.
But May however was just enjoying herself as she beat him each round they had as Jack kept on injuring his fingers and making a complete noob out of himself.
"How in the world do you keep on losing at this game?" May asked Jack who was holding his reddened fingers.
"I don't know!!! But it hurts, can we play something else now?" Jack pleaded to try and stop his pain.
"Ok how bout we try out an old game of ours…House of the Dead." May suggested as Jack's face lit up.
"Now you're talking!!!" Jack said as they went to the game.
May was already there but Jack was a little slow as it seemed his back was hurting him but caught up with her.
"You okay?" May asked seeing him struggle.
"Yeah just an injury I had after I sort of fell off my bike." Jack lied.
"You should be more careful, you never did have concern for your own safety." May said.
"Well be concerned for me killing more hordes of undead corpses than you." Jack said.
They approached the game and Jack threw a quarter in as it came on "The House of the Dead!!!" as she shot start "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!" it sounded as they both had their arcade guns ready.
The game started as both of them engaged in first person as a whole bunch of zombies came bursting through a gate and it went into combat mode, both just shot whatever was a walking corpse as they got shots in and more of them came at them they just hit and hit.
Both were having even more fun as it felt like old times once again, Jack was enjoying the time he was spending with May.
After shooting poor zombies for several minutes they decided to sit down and take a break as Jack bought them both a couple of cokes.
"Jack you're a guy right?" May asked.
He raised an eyebrow. "Last time I checked I was unless I had some sort of a five second sex change." Jack joke as she chuckled to that joke.
"Ok moving on, I think he's cheating on me or either that he's avoiding me." May said as he knew she meant Gene.
"You really think he is?" Jack asked.
"He blew me off so he could study for his math test." May said.
"Wait…Gene studying for a math test? Okay so he blew you off for that and you think he's cheating on you?" Jack asked.
"Yeah or either that he really is, I'm trying to give him the benefit of a doubt I really am!!!" May started to get worked up.
Jack had to try and calm her as he put his hands on her shoulders. "Mayday!!! Look at me when I say this…if he ain't doing the deed with another gal I'll eat my bandanna with hot sauce." Jack said as she just looked really confused.
"But then again a football player studying for a test, even though his dad's the high school gym teacher, he's the star player but he has to study…then again you might be right but you could confront him or just trust him it's your call." Jack explained as she thought about it.
"Yeah I'll think before I act." May said as she needed to think this through.
"It's gonna be okay, I know you're strong and know this ain't gonna stop you." Jack said reassuring her.
She smiled and just hugged him as he accepted it giving her his support. "Thanks Jack, I can always count on you." May said.
However only a couple of tables away and hearing and watching the entire scene unfold someone was watching the two friends be "friendly". "Watcha doing Simon?"
"Oh nuthin babe just taking a moment that will last forever." he said looking at his cell.
It was the next day and Jack had just finished English and was headed for a quick practice session with the guys.
He had a good time with May last night and as he heard so did April and Wes as she couldn't stop talking about it, their ears were sore from the constant reminder of their date from them both.
He smirked thinking of that as he continued on through the corridors as he took a left which took him out to the courtyard as he was then blocked by someone and looked up to see it was Gene…a very pissed off looking Gene.
"Oh hey Gene…uh so how ya been?" Jack asked.
He just looked at him with a glare with his arms crossed.
"So…I'll be going then so…" he was cut off as he saw his minions step forward to his side.
"Davis…Simon, good to see you both as well." Jack said now feeling nervous as all three gave him a glare.
"Ok I'll just be going back this way then." Jack said as he turned around to see his path was blocked.
"Oh and you brought the football team as well…hey guys what's up?" Jack said out of nervousness.
He saw no one was in a talking mood as he was stuck in-between them all as he knew something was up.
"So why exactly are we all gathered here today?" Jack asked.
Gene took out of his pocket his cell as he showed a picture of him and May from last night hugging as he wondered how that photo got in his possession.
"You son of a bitch!!! First you come back like nothing's changed!!! Then you start giving my girlfriend advice on how she should break up with me!!! And finally you're now trying to steal her from me!!!" Gene said in an angry rage.
Jack was now confused and scared as his now clearly still rival was thinking him and May were…it's just insane!!!
"Gene, we're just good friends that's all, but she came to me for advice because you kept on blowing her off, it's your fault she's thinking of leaving you, don't blame me!!!" Jack explained.
His eyes widened. "GET HIM!!!" Gene shouted.
As the entire football team just ganged up on Jack as he had less time to react as he struggled to get free they were too much for him as he was held back with Gene now approaching him and smiling evilly at him.
"I'll teach you to mess with me and steal my girl!!!" Gene said as he went to sock Jack In the face…
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!" It was Principle Sanders.
"Uh nothing…sir just kidding around!!!" Gene said as the team let Jack go.
Jack looked as he went with it. "Uh yeah sir just kidding around." Jack said.
"Ok then boys, stay out of trouble." Principle Sanders said as he walked off as Jack grabbed his stuff from the floor and followed him away from them.
Jack made it to his practice session with his bandmates waiting for him.
"The wanderer arrives." Al joked.
"Sorry got sidetracked by some apes." Jack said as they looked confused.
"Okay since we're all here I think I should announce that in a few weeks we Abdizur will be competing in the school's battle of the bands." Brad announced.
They all smiled and saying "oh yeah" as they had a chance to show everyone what they were all about and take that one step towards superstardom.
"So do we have any songs we're gonna play for this gig?" Ken asked.
"Ok how bout we each pick two songs of our choosing and see how it goes from there." Brad said.
They all nodded their heads in agreement as they resumed with practice.
May was walking to her locker as then she saw Gene was there waiting for her and he did not look happy.
"Hey how did your test go?" May asked her boyfriend.
"…" Gene just looked at her angrily.
"Is there something wrong?" May asked.
"You could say that." Gene replied.
"So what then?" May asked now feeling confused.
"I know." Gene said.
"Know what cause I'm really lost now?" May asked even more confused.
He took out his cell and showed the picture of her and Jack from last night.
"Wait is this about me and Jack hanging out last night? Now look you blew me off and he came to see if I was doing anything so we could hang out!!!" May tried to explain to him.
"You really think I'm that stupid huh?! Your cheating on me with him!!!" Gene shouted.
People heard the conversation and were watching the drama unfold.
"What?! Now your just being paranoid, we're just good friends!!!" May said in protest.
"Yeah I know his game, he does this to get at me!!! I also heard you're planning to break up with me?!" Gene said as she just did not want to hear anymore and walked off until he grabbed her and pushed her back first into a locker as he looked like a madman.
"ANSWER ME!!!" Gene shouted as she looked scared never seeing this side of him before.
A crowd formed as the hallways stopped to observe this outburst as he realised what he was doing and let her go and walked off.
May watched him leave and looked to see a dent in the locker she was slammed into.
How the hell did he get that picture? Was he following me? I'd btter talk to Jack.
She then walked off to find her friend for some sort of an answer.
It was now science class and everyone was seated as Jack and Jimmy sat together as always and May just entered the classroom and wanted to talk with Jack as she saw him but knew it would have to wait until afterwards as she went to sit with her friends as the class was scheduled to watch a special on TV about the life cylces of plants, until…
"We interupt this scheduled programming for a news bulletin."
"This is Jenna Palmer reporting live from the scene…BOOM!!!" it was interrupted by an explosion.
Everyone including the teacher had gathered around the television as they watched the report.
"A robot has gone on a rampage and is tearing up downtown Queens, the individual can only be described as a giant metal monster with weaponry, this thing was seen leaving Stark Enterprises warehouses as it left a destructive path behind the area."
May and April both seeing this as they looked to one another and knew they had to try and stop this thing before someone got hurt or worse as they used the distraction of the news to sneak out.
Also seeing it Jack without thought left the classroom and went off to fight the evil cyborg.
The andoroid was on a complete rampage and Police tried to stop him as they tried their weapons on him as the bullets bounced off it's armour as it then just used a blaster on it's shoulders to get rid of the annoyance of New York's finest.
Even the SWAT team couldn't contain it as he just blew a few of their helicopters out of the skies and it seemed nothing could stop it's path of destruction.
It then turned it's attention to the group of reporters as it marched towards them as they tried to run but it aimed it's weapons right at them but then something just blnded it's vision as it was then knocked to the ground with a large kick.
"Tiiiiiimmmmmbbbbbeeeerrr!!!"
The cyborg looked around and sat up as he saw two costumed people and he knew who they were straight away.
"I've always wanted to say that." Spider-Girl joked.
"Uh I think he's getting up." Spider X pointed out to the cyborg now getting to it's feet.
"So a challenge has risen, what better way than to test my power against two of you heroes." it said.
"Who are you?" Spider X asked.
"I am the future of mankind, the futre ruler of this world and…
"Look we haven't got much time so can you please get to the part where we know your name?" Spider-Girl interrupted.
The cyborg was surprised by that. "I am Eradicator!!!" Eradicator introduced himself.
"Ok original but still way too long in introductions and- BOOM!!!
Spider-Girl was cut off by a blast as the two sisters dodged the attack thanks to their spider senses as they landed down on the street lamp.
May turned to April. "So any ideas?" May asked her twin.
"I say we just insult him until he's open for attack." April suggested.
"You're beginning to think like me now…and I like it!!!" May said as both heroes went for it.
"Hey Eradidork, nice outfit how many Battlestar Galactica conventions did it take for you to think of actually being a Cylon?!" Spider-Girl insulted the villain.
As the cyborg just brought out a huge machine gun and fired on the young hero but her spider sense once again provided the warning nad her reflexes helped her to dodge gunfire.
"Uh hey ugly!!!" Spider X also insulted.
This angered the cyborg even more as he fired on her as well and both were now dodging gunfire.
He then grabbed a ca and hurled it towards some bystanders as then it was caught in mid air by a web line from Spider X which grabbed it on time and it landed back on the ground in a heap.
"Quickly run!!!" Spider X said to the bystanders as they did so.
Meanwhile Spider-Girl was dodging every attack made by the cyborg menace thanks to her spider sense but as she tried to pinpoint a weakness but for some reason was having a bit of difficulty doing so as it was hard to do that and dodge for your life all at the same time.
As then Eradicator drew out a sword slash chainsaw and just lunged at the young hero but as he lunged again as then his weapon was webbed to the ground by Spider X giving them some time to find a weak spot.
"I think he has a weak spot but it's on the back of his head but problem is that he's packing a lot of heat and if we're both trying to go for the weak spot he could hurt someone while we're distracted." Spider-Girl explained as they then sensed a blast coming their way and ducked out of the way.
"May, I'll distract him and you get to his weak spot, I can draw his fire for a short while so be quick!!!" Spider X said to her sister.
As then they split and Spider X began to hurl impact webbing at the cyborg as it caught it's attention the attacks were directed at the Black Spider as she dodged and continuing her attack as then from behind Spider-Girl umped on to it's back and went for the back of it's head as she started to fiddle with the three cables on the back of it's neck.
Pulling as hard as she could she was beginning to loosen them as then a charge of electricity surged and burned through her body, she howled in pain as she was then thrown off violently to the ground.
This distracted Spider X who took her eyes off of the cyborg and got caught in by a rocket blast as she was hurled towards and into a wall as she then saw the metallic villain approach her as he had his sword slash chainsaw out and raised it up as April looked to see her sister lying on the floor as she was stirring but was too far away from her to help.
"Now meta-human feel the blade of Eradicator!!!" Eradicator said as the weapon began to buzz and was ready to cut her in several pieces.
As the weapon lowered towards her he was then hit in the face with a flying disc as he fell backwards a few feet and caused his weapon to get stuck in the ground.
She was then grabbed and taken away from there and brought to where Spider-Girl was now getting to her feet as they both saw who just came in the nick of time.
"Au chantei ladies." Eclipse said as he helped Spider-Girl up.
"It's you, thank you for saving my sister." Spider-Girl thanked the dark hero.
"No problem happy to help butterfly." Eclipse said.
"Yes thank you I don't know how I would've gotten out of that but thank you." Spider X thanked her saviour.
As then thesoundof the chainsaw whirring as the cyborg began to free itself from the ground.
"Oh he looks like he's now about to rejoin the party, any ideas cause I'm open to suggestions?" Eclipse asked.
"He has a weak point on the back of his head, there are three cables but only probem is he has a security measure which involves shock therapy." Spider-Girl said.
"How long did it take for it to shock you?" Eclipse asked.
"About under a minute I guess." Spider-Girl asked.
"Just enough time, I'll cut the cables." Eclipse said as he adjusted his right gauntlet.
"We'll distract him long enough…be careful." Spider-Girl said to him.
"I will ladies take care and watch out for that rocket!!!" Eclipse said as they sensed it and all three of them got out of the way as the explosive just collided and destroyed the ground they once stood on.
"Feel the wrath of Eradicator!!!" Eradicator said as he fired bullets and rockets at the three heroes.
Then Eclipse disappeared from the scene as the cyborg felt confident. "At least one of you had sense to run while you still co-" a Thwip sounded as he was shut up by webbing across his mouth by Spider X.
"Be quiet for one minute!!!" Spider X said.
"Okay Eradidork ready for round two?!" Spider-Girl said as she had on the end of her webline was a car door which she flung at him as he just swatted it away.
He used whatever weapons on them as he went full out on the two heroes and they dodged his attacks and just threw any objects at him as all it did was just annoy him.
But then from right behind him something landed on his back and he guessed it to be Eclipse as he then held on to the cyborg and then activated something on his right gauntlet as on the side a side saw came out as he then began to cut through the cables.
"What're you doing?!" Eradicator said after he got the webbing off his mouth as he began to charge his countermeasure against the dark hero.
"Well I'm trying to do some DIY here but having you blowing everything up is sort of breaking my concentration here." Eclipse joked as he just cut the first cable.
A loud hiss was heard as the cyborg villian shouted in agony as Eclipse went for the second cable as he began to saw cut through it the cyborg then shot out the electric charge as he felt the burning sensation got through his body as he wined in pain but hung on to the back of the villain.
"Oh no he's getting electrocuted, we need to keep his mind off him!!!" Spider-Girl said.
"I've got an idea aim for his eyes!!!" Spider X said.
They both shot out webbing and it blinded the cybernetic villain as he began to go into a frenzy as his sight was blocked by the spider sisters webbing.
Eclipse was then relieved of his electric shocks as it stopped he could then go for the second cable and he easily got it and saw that it was all beginning to take effect as he was now in real pain as his weapons were shutting down.
But however he managed to jolt him again with more shocks as he was hanging in there but was having difficulty trying to get the last cable as he then flailed around wildly and drew out his chainsaw slash sword and swing it around violently as the spiders just easily dodged the attacks.
"I think he needs help." Spider X said refering to Eclipse who was sill getting shock treatment and trying to pull the last cable out.
"I'll ask him…Hey E-man you need help?!" Spider-Girl called out.
"I'm ok…just…in a…lot…of…pain!!!" Eclipse said in between shocks.
May turning to face her twin. "Yeah I think we should." she said.
They both swung around to the side of the cyborg and both shot webbing wrapping it's legs and eventually constricting him all the way to his upper body as then Eclipse finally cut the final cable and the shocks stopped as he screamed and knew his systems were shutting down as he just stood there completely still.
Eclipse jumped off his back as he was just irritated and smelled like a texas barbeque he just went up to the front of the shut own cyborg and hit him with a huge heel kick which just knocked down the seven footer as he fell hard to the ground.
"That's for giving me several minutes of shock therapy…which I already have had and look what good it did with me!!!" Eclipse said as the other two heroes watched on.
"You alright E-man?" Spider-Girl asked.
"Yeah just crispy…you both ok?" Eclipse asked.
"We'll live, you're Eclipse right?" Spider X asked.
"That I am and you are…
"Spider X pleased to meet you." Spider X said as they shook hands.
"So are you two like related or you just had the same hero personas and didn't wanna clash?" Eclipse asked.
They looked at him with questioning glares as he realised they were not amused.
"No? ok note to self, never make hero jokes when heroes are in front of you." Eclipse joked.
Both girls giggled as they saw his mistake, but then they all then heard the familiar sound of sirens approaching as they knew it was time to leave.
"Well I guess it's time to say bon voy- where'd he go?!" Spider-Girl asked.
"He just vanished, have to admit he's something no wonder you got taken down so easily by those thugs." April joked.
"Hey!!! It was an off day and besides I softened them up for him." May said in her defence.
As they saw the boys in blue appear they decided to leave and head back to school.
However the battle was watched by a dark figure, he was mainly observing Eclipse. "Amateur." he said.
As the class were still glued to the TV and no one had noticed that Jack slipped back in right next to Jimmy.
"Wow…that was sooo cool!!!" Jimmy said seeing the entire battle as he then turned to Jack.
His face then cringed as he smelled something. "What the heck is that smell?!" Jimmy said getting a real wiff of something.
"Sorry dude had to go to the bathroom and those goth kids were smoking in there and I guess…I stink." Jack lied.
He was in a bit more pain with his back injury and now after a few rounds of shock treatment it was really bad as he had trouble trying to move a little but luckily for him his suit took the damage but he still received minor injuries.
"But all the same what happened? Did I miss it?" Jack asked.
"Yeah it was awesome that dude appeared again he got electrocuted and was taking each shot like nothing!!! Man he could be the spider's new competition." Jimmy said as Jack smiled at that.
As then entered the Parker twins who snuck in quietly as they were discussing with Heather and Courtney what had happened on TV as they were just trying to hold in their pain and wait for their healing factor to kick in.
The bell rang and an entire lesson was wasted watching the news as they all left May quickly went to get Jack.
"Jack!!!" May called as he turned to face her. "Yeah?" Jack answered.
"I need to tal- Oh my god!!! What is that smell?!" May said as she held her nose in disgust.
"Sorry that would be me, I smell like charred turkey ass." Jack joked.
"You need a shower…and I mean like now!!!" May said as the smell was bugging her.
"What did you need to talk with me about." Jack asked.
She had the look on her face as he knew it was serious. " Someone took a picture of us last night and Gene's all pissed off about it, you know anything about this picture?" May asked.
"Yeah he kinda came at me with it and had the entire football team to give me a beat down, but luckily Principle Sanders came along." Jack explained.
She went wide eyed. "He what?! Oh that is it!!! He's so dumped, I know you'd never do anything like this, even to get at him." May said.
"I should've kept my mouth shut about you wanting to break up with him." Jack said out of honesty.
"You told him?! Why would you even do that??!!" May said.
"He said he knew even before I told him!!! I don't know how he knew but he did!!!" Jack said as they argued.
Their friends all watched on as they were confused and shocked at the revelations which took place earlier on today.
"I-I-I can't believe this I thought he was bad but you…you're just as bad!!!" May said now really angry and confused.
"May come on I didn't do it on purpose he found out, confronted me and was about to kill me for it, he's no good and you know it!!!" Jack said now also angry that she said that.
"This is why I try not to tell people things, it always leads to trouble." May now was beginning to sob.
"I didn't mean to-" she then just shoved past him as she walked off trying not to cry as the girls followed.
Jack was met by Jimmy and Wes as they looked to him and his look was expressionless.
"Guys you don't have to side with me it's okay.?" Jack said.
"No we're your friends, we know you wouldn't do that to May." Jimmy said.
"Exactly, I've known you little but I know you're not an asshole." Wes said.
"Thanks guys I appreciate it but-" he was stopped in mid sentence as he saw his bike.
"Son of a bitch!!!" Jack shouted as he rushed over to his vehicle as it was completely trashed.
His bike was vandalised, his wheels were missing, the lights were broken as the glass was all over the place.
He was pissed.
"Hey Redditch!!!"
He turned to see Gene driving by. "Nice bike shame about the makeover ha!!!" Gene said as he drove off.
This was retaliation for earlier on and now Jack was in a bad mood, his friend hates him, his bike got trashed and he was ready to kill Gene Thompson.
After saving the day he has an angry friend, a rival out to get him and now someone is watching Eclipse, who is this mystery person?
What you think? Reviews please!!!
