Chapter 10: Spiders and Death Whisperer vs. Green Goblin

Spider-Man swung to where the fires were and saw a large green monster firing fire balls out of his hands causing havoc in the neighborhood.

"Whoa." He said to himself.

Two weeks ago, Oscorp

"Where's Fisk and those viles, Octavius?" Norman Osborne asked Doctor Octavius. They were in Osborne's office discussing their current situation with the Kingpin and the spiders.

"We are working diligently Mr. Osborne," Octavius answered him, "but we have yet to find any of the spiders or this Nightshadow woman or any of the viles sir."

Osborne stood from his seat and walked over to his window overlooking the city. He had spent a large fortune on the material and resources to make those five samples that were stolen from Fisk. Recreating them would take even longer than the original batch did. Norman was on a tight schedule and the Kingpin losing the perfected catalyst for Project Onyx was now in the hands masked individuals who have grudges against him was not helping the situation

"You're going to pay dearly for what you lost Fisk." Osborne started. He turned around and walked passed Octavius. "We start human trials immediately Dr. Octavius."

"B-b-but sir," Octavius started in a panicked state, "without the catalyst who knows just what might happen."

Osborne walked into a room full of monitors, all showing the day Peter Parker was bitten by the radioactive spider.

"We don't need the catalyst," Osborne said as he pulled out a small green vile titled 'Oz Formula'. "We already know that the Oz works without the catalyst. Peter Parker has proved that to us perfectly." He turned to Octavius. "Prepare the human trials in a week Doctor, I will be the first in a new breed of super soldiers."

Today

"Pppparrkerr." The big green monster hissed. It was barely audible to the people running away from the fireballs being fired from its hands.

Spider-Man was barely able to hear what it said from the roof he landed on, and he began to panic slightly. He never ran into anything this large before, and he knew he needed some sort of help with it.

"Hey ugly," Spider-Man shouted to him, attempting to mask his fear with comedy. "I know Queens is small and everything, but geez you make it look like King Kong came through here."

"There you are." The green monster said as he leapt up to him and swung his massive right arm. He connected swiftly and sent Spider-Man flying on top of a parked car. Before Spider-Man could even compose himself, his spider sense went off alerting him to the monster preparing to crush him. Spider-Man moved out of the way as fast as he could but not fast enough. The monster grabbed him by the ankle and flung him down the street. He landed hard and rolled on the concrete for a short while before he stopped in front of Aiden and Ariel's house.

The two looked in horror as their friend was laying there motionless on the ground. They knew they had to do something, but what could they do without revealing themselves to their dad who was sitting in his wheelchair watching with them.

"You two just gonna stand there and watch your friend get beaten half to hell and back," Daniel started while turning to them, "or are you two gonna go out there and fight that thing?"

They both looked at him in shock but it was Aiden who had to ask him. "How long did you know dad?"

"Since that field trip you two took months ago." He answered with a stern yet very saddening tone. "I hacked into Oscorp security to see what happened when news broke that the Parker kid had been bitten by a spider with two circles on its back. I had to make sure it was destroyed, but then I saw you two get bit by two different ones and I didn't know what to do." He looked outside and saw that the green monster was moving closer to Spider-Man. "You two need to g-", by the time he turned around, they were gone. At first, Daniel didn't know what happened until he heard a loud crash outside. He looked and saw Spider-Chick and Arachnid beating on the monster so fast that it couldn't keep up.

Once the two finally knocked it back a little, Arachnid told Spider-Chick to check on Spider-Man. She agreed and went to him while he continued his assault on the monster.

"You okay?" She said to him just as he was getting up.

He shook his head and answered her, "Oh yeah, me, totally fine. Just my muscles and spine and spleen." She helped him to his feet and he looked at her then to the window her father was looking through. Dazed and confused, he looked at her and asked, "Does he know who you are?"

"Yep, but for now he's cool with it." She looked back to the monster and noticed it had Arachnid by the neck. "Oh no."

The two other spiders were going to attack him and free their friend, but before they could even move the monster moved his free hand toward the young heroes face. His hand turned to fire and he moved it closer to Arachnid's face. Spider-Man and Spider-Chick stopped where they were and knew exactly what it was doing.

"Now that I have your attention," it started with a smug grin. "I want my formula and my catalyst serum. I want what you three took from me, my legacy."

"Who exactly are you anyway ugly?" Spider-Chick said to him in a furious tone.

"Call me the Green Goblin." It said with a sinister smile on its face. "And I want what you took from me, or I will burn your friend into nothingness."

The Goblin wasn't bluffing. He continued to inch his way closer to Arachnid's faces, the flames almost burning his mask off. Suddenly, a swift but powerful kick sent Goblin flying towards the two spiders. He still had Arachnid in his hand, but his grip had loosened and Arachnid was now trying to escape before they hit the ground. Despite his best effort, Arachnid couldn't get himself free in time, but suddenly he was snatched by someone who moved faster than the Goblin's body.

Spider-Man And Spider-Chick could barely see who it was that got him. Goblin flew past them and crashed hard into several parked cars before his body stopped moving. The two spiders looked at Goblin and then back to the street to see exactly who it was that got Arachnid. It was a woman in a dark black costume with dark blue highlights going across her chest and legs, and a dark blue mask. She had Arachnid in her arms and held him tightly.

"Just like when you were born," she said in a familiar whisper yet different voice.

"Mom," Arachnid started in shock, "when did you-".

"Around the same time your father did." She interrupted. "A good mother always knows."

She stood up and set him down on his own feet. For a short while he was stunned at her old outfit, and he couldn't believe how fast and strong she was to do what she did. That feeling wore off fast as the Green Goblin burst into a small explosion of fire. His roar echoing the around the entire neighborhood and shaking the very ground for an instant.

"Aiden," Alexa started, "I'm pretty sure that's someone who used Project Onyx without the catalyst you and my sister stole."

"So what exactly do we need to do to stop this dude?"

"Beat him till he changes back or dies. Which ever one happens first."

Arachnid agreed to this and the two went toward the other two stunned spiders to regroup. After a quick explanation to them, Spider-Man came up with an idea.

"You four will burn and die in an agonizing flame!" Green Goblin shouted as he ran over toward them all. He ran over to the four and leapt toward them.

"Now." Alexa said as she and Arachnid jumped into the air. While the Goblin watched them go over his head, Spider-Man and Spider-Chick used their webs to tie its legs together. The Goblin fell to the ground hard while both the spiders on the ground moved away from him.

Goblin was trying to get back to its feet, but didn't have enough time for what came next. Arachnid and Alexa were still in the air and they both nodded to one another. At that moment, Alexa grabbed him by his hands and began to spin at a fast as she could and finally released him straight at the goblin. When Arachnid impacted, he struck Goblin feet first and knocked it out. He stood on top of the Goblin for a quick second before his spider sense went off. It showed him that the Goblin would rise and start flinging him around like a ragdoll. He jumped off and narrowly avoided the Goblin's massive right hand. He landed next to the spiders and Death Whisperer.

"You all think," he said in a weakened tone. He had started to change back slowly and slightly revealed who he was. "You all think that this is over? Kingpin was just the beginning, and my legacy will be remembered throughout history as the man who turned the Super Soldier serum into my own personal play things." His voice had changed and half his real face was now visible to them. "Next time we meet, I will have a perfected serum. I guarantee you all that."

Suddenly, there was a helicopter that appeared almost out of thin air. The side entrance opened up and the once full Goblin jumped his half human half monster self into the helicopter. Spider-Chick leapt up to web it, but suddenly it vanished almost without a trace. She landed on the ground in confusion.

"Norman Osborne?" Alexa said to herself.

"You mean the Norman Osborne?" Spider-Man started. "The man who owns Oscorp, one of the wealthiest men in the world, was tall green and firebally?"

She looked at him and nodded. Spider-Chick walked over to them and had no idea what was going on. "We should get out of here. Head in multiple different directions and then meet back here without the costumes."

"Uh, the purpose of a secret identity ma'am is making sure no one-." Spider-Chick started.

"We'll be back mom." Arachnid started

"Mom?" Spider-Chick said in disbelief.

She nodded and leapt away toward the other side of Queens. The spiders swung to Manhattan and patrolled there for a few hours before heading back to Queens separately. They all met behind the house and was met by Alexa's smiling face. They were all out of their costumes and into their regular clothes by that time. Once the three were inside, they all sat down and both Alexa and Daniel began to explain what they knew to the three young heroes who were now a part of all this.

"When I was working with Fisk back then," Alexa started, "he sent me on a pick up job. At first I didn't understand why he would send his best killer on a pick up run, until I got to where I needed to pick it up from."

"Oscorp." Aiden said.

She nodded to him. "Oscorp may have been a small thing back then, but it was still a company to be afraid of. People turned up 'missing' quite often back then, and the authorities were bought off by Fisk."

"So what exactly were you picking up?" Ariel asked her.

"The Oz formula. It's a drug that's supposed to turn someone into a Super Soldier like Captain America. In those times, crime bosses wanted to have that kind of power that Captain America possessed, by any means." She stopped and looked at Daniel for a quick moment before continuing. "I ran into Osborne before he was hell bent on achieving what no one else could, and he needed the help of the rising Kingpin to make it all work."

Everyone looked at her and wondered just what Fisk wanted out of all of this. The question finally came out after several seconds of awkward silence.

"What exactly did Fisk have to do with Project Onyx?" Peter asked her.

"Fisk heard about what Osborne and his company were attempting to do and wanted it. But instead of trying to bribe or steal it, he decided to help them so they owed him." Alexa stopped and sighed. "He wanted to make an army of his own Super Soldiers, and after I was presumed dead, he tested the very first sample on my sister."

"I have a feeling that this whole thing isn't over yet." Aiden started while standing up. "We have to stop them before they do anything that'll be dangerous for all of New York."

"True," Daniel started, "but we'll need some help, and I know exactly who you think I'm talking about Alexa."

Alexa sighed once again and said to him with an unsure tone, "I know. It's just the fact that I think she'll have different ideas to help."
