The Scarlet Spider

Chapter 9: War zone

Fisk wiped the sweat off his forehead, steadying his hands and easing his rushing heart rate. His reputation was built on one of fear and money, when the Kingpin made you an offer you didn't refuse, but now Fisk was on the edge of experiencing fear. A fear he couldn't afford to reveal to his bodyguards. The armed soldiers ran down the hallways of Fisk's building, lowering their rifles into the lobby area. Half of them were shaking, they were used to shaking down businesses, not fighting angered super humans. Fisk bought up his views of the security cameras, watching the imminent fight. There was silence in the lobby and Fisk gasped, as one of his cameras was shutdown. A few seconds passed and another camera for the lobby was knocked out. The guards began to creep into the lobby, taking note of a missing stone pillar.

"Wait a minute…EVERYBODY…" But the commander's warnings were cut short.

A web line was wrapped around a pillar, which slammed into the crowds of soldiers. Scarlet Spider lunged at the guards, slamming his fists against their faces. He shattered one mans glasses and cracked another's jaw. Clothes lining two more, he sent them flying against the wall. Recovering from the surprise attack, the remaining soldiers aimed their rifles. Scarlet Spider jumped off of one of the support pillars and dashed across the room, walking over the wall and leaping onto the ceiling. He fired two web lines, clogging the barrels of two soldier's rifles. Then he jumped over them, slamming his fist into one guard's stomach. Lifting the grunt off the floor he threw him into the commander.

"Get him!" One of the soldiers said, throwing aside his rifle and drawing a knife.

But the Scarlet Spider grabbed the man's wrist and slammed his knee into the man's elbow. The guard yelled in agony, his arm hanging off his elbow socket. Scarlet Spider then slammed the palm of his hand into the guard's gut, sending him flying into the arms of two of his fellow guards. Another group of guards appeared from the elevator, but instead of guns they carried syringes.

'More super humans?' Scarlet Spider wondered.

When they injected themselves they began to cringe in pain. Slowly their eyes formed into reptilian slits as their teeth sharpened into razors and their jaws grew longer. Their arms expanded, ripping their sleeves while scales replaced their skin. Hair fell onto the floor and tails burst out of their pants. Scarlet Spider squeezed his hands into fists, watching as the mutated Lizard men snarled at him.

'Peter would have some kind of quip to show in this situation, but I'm not Peter' Michael thought before he ran forward.

While Kingpin's men mutated, an ally of Spider-woman's began a quicker and less agonising transformation. Harry Osborn's upper chest was set alight as he grew taller, stronger and more powerful than any ordinary super soldier. The Oz serum lingering in his blood took hold as his skin changed to an orange colour. His ears stuck out and armour scales appeared on his forehead, with spikes popping out of his expanding shoulders and arms. He let out a roar to intimidate the super villains as flames ran around his body, burning his shoes and shirt off. Jessica smiled; glad that Harry's "hobgoblin" persona was on her side.

"Kill them!" Whirlwind said.

Whirlwind's buzz saw blades span around while electricity ran through Constrictors coils. Radioactive man ripped off his shirt and mask, revealing his glowing green skin. Eel thrust his hands forward, firing an electric blast that ripped through Hobgoblin's shoulder. Harry stumbled backward, holding his bleeding shoulder. His eyes narrowed as he let rage and adrenaline take over. With a roar he leapt upwards, distracting the villains attention. Spider-woman rushed forward, firing a web into Eel's face. Hobgoblin then landed, sending cracks across the road. Harry slammed his fist into Whirlwind's chest, throwing him through a nearby garage. People in Queens began to run out of their houses, not wanting to get involved in a super human rampage.

"I'll freaking kill you freak" Constrictor growled, wrapping his coils around Hobgoblins neck.

While Constrictor shocked Hobgoblin, Radioactive man fired a blast into Harry's back. Spider-woman jumped over Harry, kicking Constrictor in the face. Hobgoblin then grabbed Radioactive man's head and threw him across the street. Eel ripped the webbing off his face, twitching uncontrollably as electricity covered his body. Spider-woman punched Constrictor around the face and Hobgoblin slammed Whirlwind against the ground. The green armoured man slashed Harry across the chest, widening his eyes as the flames the goblin generated melted his blades. Harry slammed his fist into Whirlwind's head, cracking his helmet and sending him sliding across the pavement.

"Die…ALL OF YOU DIE!" Eel yelled, throwing his hands forward.

Electricity flew from Eel's fingertips, covering Hobgoblin and burning Jessica's arm. She screamed in pain, patting the flames off of her shoulder. Constrictor grinned, kicking Jessica in the chest and wrapping his coils around her waist. He lifted her off the ground and ran electricity through the coils. Spider-woman and Hobgoblin screamed in agony as the two super villains electrocuted them. From the Parker house, Mary Jane clutched her wrist as her hand shook.

In the streets of New York, Scorcher laughed as he blasted fire into the alleyways. Shang-Chi and Moon Knight were watching the armoured man from the rooftops, deciding when would be a perfect opportunity to act. Daredevil however was carrying Strange on his shoulder, jumping across the rooftop, dodging the boomerangs thrown by Bullseye. Elektra ran and jumped from rooftop to rooftop, drawing her Sai's. Daredevil heard the metal sliding out there sheathes and dropped Strange. He rolled across the floor, his radar sense detecting Elektra as she thrust her Sai towards him. Daredevil grabbed the woman's wrist, and then slammed his knee into her chest. Then he flipped her over, throwing her across the floor.

Scorcher marched down one of the alleyways, keeping his flamethrowers ready. Suddenly two crescent blades cut the wires connected his cannons to his backpack. Moon Knight held one end of a line while Shang-Chi tied the other end around his waist. While Moon Knight held onto the line, Shang-Chi swung into the alleyway, slamming his feet against Scorcher's helmet. The force of the kick threw Scorcher out of the alleyway. Moon Knight then let go of the line, alloying Shang-Chi to set his feet on the floor. He ripped the rope off of his waist and ran at the disarmed Scorcher.

"You black mail my friend into helping you then you shoot him when he's done what you asked…this is for Danny!" Shang-Chi growled.

The martial artist slid underneath Scorcher's legs, and then kicked his kneecaps. With a sickening crack and a deafening scream, Scorcher fell to the ground. Flipping back onto his feet, Shang-Chi looked to his side then broke off into a run as an energy blast flew past his head. Shang-Chi slid into the alley, peaking his head out to look at the new arrivals. Or rather the new arrival, a man wearing orange and red armour with a silver helmet.

"This is Shockwave, I've got the targets in my sight, ready to terminate" He said, aiming the palm of his hand at Shang-Chi.

The armoured man fired a blast from his hand, taking off a chunk of the wall Shang-Chi hid behind.

"Moon Knight throw me a line!" Shang-chi said.

Moon Knight threw down a piece of rope, which Shang-Chi grabbed onto. Shang-Chi began climbing up the rope as Shockwave hovered towards his position. The armoured man fired blasts from his hands, hitting the part of the wall inches from Shang-Chi. Moon Knight ran with the line in his hand, quickly pulling Shang-Chi onto the roof.

"This is too big for us, we cant beat them" Shang-Chi said.

Daredevil ran as fast as he could across the rooftops. When he jumped he flipped in midair, dodging the projectiles launched by Bullseye. The assassin span the high tech boomerangs in his hands and threw them at his nemesis. But much to his shock, Daredevil stepped off of the blades and launched himself towards Bullseye. He slammed his fist into the assassin's nose, pushing him back towards the edge of the rooftop. Bullseye threw a punch at Daredevil, but the vigilante grabbed Bullseye's wrist and swung his hand into his elbow.

Bullseye yelled as Daredevil pushed his arm out of place. Then Daredevil slammed his elbow into Bullseye's face, knocking him closer towards the edge of the roof. Elektra got off the floor and twirled her blades round, running towards Daredevil. She swung her blade forward, cutting his cowl. But Daredevil quickly swung round, knocking Elektra's blades from her hand. She kicked his chest, and then grabbed his arm. Daredevil quickly grabbed Elektra's neck and threw her back, also kicking Bullseye in the gut.

"Shit, this isn't what I signed up for" Bullseye said.

Elektra kicked Daredevil's legs, knocking him to the ground. He grabbed her hair, rolling across the floor and throwing her further back. She drew several kunai, throwing them towards her target. But Daredevil stopped the blades with his stick, throwing them aside and rushing towards Elektra. He wrapped his arms around her waist, jumping off of the roof and firing his grappling hook. They swung towards the streets, rolling across the road and coming to a stop near one of the alleyways.

"Get off of me!" Elektra growled, kicking Daredevil off of her.

But Daredevil quickly jumped to his feet, tackling Elektra and grabbing the back of her head. He slammed her against the alley wall, grabbing her arm and twisting it till she dropped the Sai. Their lips barely touched and for a moment both of them considered stopping. Suddenly, Daredevil swung his head back and a shuriken flew in between them. Elektra looked to the roof to see Bullseye taking out his Kunai.

"He has five Kunai Matt" she said.

"Elektra what are you…"

She pushed him back and drew another Sai from her belt thrusting the blade forward; she narrowly missed Daredevil's shoulder. He felt the blade but smirked, knowing that his former lover was holding back. Bullseye threw his kunai, sending the five blades flying towards Elektra and Daredevil.

Scarlet Spider ran towards the Lizard enhanced guards. They swung their massive tails around, causing Michael to jump over them. He latched his webs onto their shoulders, trying to drag them to the floor. A swing of their tails made Scarlet Spider duck, then rolled and finally jumped over the last tail. Stepping off of a pillar, Scarlet Spider jumped onto the wall, using his sticky fingers to swing himself behind one of the Lizards. His elbow slammed against the creatures back, causing it to cry out in pain. Ducking under a swipe from one of the creature's claws, Scarlet Spider slammed his fist into its jaw, snapping the lizard's elongated tongue with its own teeth. Then he rushed towards the elevator door, catching the other lizards in a web blob. He tied four web lines onto the elevator door and tugged as hard as he could. Eventually the door was bent until an opening appeared. Scarlet Spider jumped onto the elevator wall and began climbing up the shaft.

Harry Osborn, or the Hobgoblin as S.H.I.E.L.D. code named him had never felt better in his life than how he was feeling now. Part of transforming into the monster was the sense of liberation that he was doing something good with a gift his father wasted. He threw Eel across the street then slammed his fist into Whirlwind's chest. Whirlwind span around and created a gust of wind, sending cars flying towards Harry. Spider-woman jumped over the cars, swinging her leg into Whirlwind's face.

"This is really getting on my nerves" Constrictor said.

He swung his coils around, trying to hit Spider-woman as she flipped away from Whirlwind. Hobgoblin slammed his fist into the side of Constrictors chest. He then fired a blast into Whirlwind's chest, throwing him backwards. Spider-woman landed beside Harry, slapping her hand against his.

"All right, now that's a team up, who says Goblins and spiders can't work together?" Jessica asked.

Mary Jane breathed a sigh of relief as her hand stopped shaking. Jessica and Harry then dropped into fighting stances as Whirlwind got up off the floor. He threw off his helmet, revealing a brown haired man underneath.

"You little bastards, I'll kill you all!" He said. "It doesn't matter how powerful you are, NOTHING CAN BEAT AN F5!"

He threw his hand forward; creating a whirlwind that threw Harry and Jessica through a nearby garage. Whirlwind built up the speeds of his wind, gradually changing it to a tornado that ripped off pieces of other houses.

"I'LL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!" He yelled.

Frank Castle looked down the scope of his rifle. The Kingpin's thugs had been laying on the pressure for witnesses and threats to their organisation. Honest policemen would get threats in the mail; jurors who didn't accept bribes were black mailed and district attorney's and lawyers were found drowned in their baths or had just disappeared completely. The law couldn't touch the criminals now, right now there was a war on the street and Frank Castle was a soldier. So he did what he did best, and gunned down the thugs waiting to intimidate a juror. He packed up the rifle and moved onto his next stop. Hells kitchen was slowly becoming a gathering ground for metahumans, criminals spliced with animal DNA and men wearing high tech armour. Castle wasn't about to get into a suicidal fight against these new super villains like the Big Wheel, Grizzly, Stilt Man and Will O' the Wisp (no matter how stupid they looked or sounded). So he stuck to the gang members seeking to take advantage of the chaos. People sensed the end for the Kingpin despite his Enforcers actions, so a mix of petty gangs and crime families were moving in on Kingpin's territory. A gang war would engulf the entire city of something wasn't done about it.

'The Police wont shoot first, but that's exactly what needs to be done in this situation' Frank thought as he watched several squad cars drive past him.

He could already hear the gunshots and curses being thrown by gang members. Walking into an alleyway, Frank narrowed his eyes at the people dealing drugs with one another. Criminals that the police just drove past, criminals that the justice system would go easy on, criminals that made money from addicts and desperate families and ruined educations. They were criminals and they deserved to die in Frank's eyes. He reached into his jacket, pulling out his pistol and putting two in their heads. Ignoring the smell of drugs and blood, Frank reached into his bag, pulling out a harness and guns. Strapping to bulletproof vest on, Frank then threw off his coat, revealing guns strapped to his thighs and arms. He loaded a rifle, putting it onto his back and then slipped a grenade into a launcher he'd keep hanging loosely on his shoulder.

"All right punks, who wants to take their punishment first?" Frank wondered as he climbed up a fire escape.

The Maggia would be hitting the petty Skulls gang in a drive by shooting. Frank would hit both at the same time. While the thugs were simply men with automatics, Frank had years of training in firearms. He was an excellent shot, taking the semi-automatic from his back and waiting for the cars to arrive. When they arrived he squeezed the trigger, putting bullets into the side wheels of four cars. The crashing of the cars caught the skull's attention as they rushed out of their hiding places. Frank smirked, fish in a barrel all lined up for him.

Scarlet Spider crawled up the elevator shaft, gradually getting closer and closer towards the Kingpin's office. There was nowhere left for Fisk to run, nowhere he could hide. It ended tonight for the kingpin whether he liked it or not. The man had crossed the line and as a result of that he would fall off the building he called his "place of business". There'd be no more business and certainly no more Kingpins. Putting his fingers between the edges of the elevator door, Scarlet Spider slowly ripped the door from its hinges and looked into Fisk's office. The overweight man was cowering at his desk as Scarlet Spider moved into the room. Michael smiled; Fisk knew that he wasn't anything like Peter. Clicking his knuckles together, Scarlet Spider began firing webs onto the cameras. He obstructed their view, no one but Fisk should be able to see what he was about to do.

"What are you doing?" Fisk asked as Scarlet Spider pulled his mask.

"Giving myself another reason to kill you" Michael said.

He pulled the mask from his face and looked Fisk in the eye with total fury. Fisk trembled as he reached for his cane, knowing the look that the clone had. It was the look of a man about to commit murder again.

There weren't that many lawyers that would be willing to campaign against the Kingpin. However there were some who were both a threat and personal target that Fisk wanted eliminated. Foggy Nelson was the legal associate and partner of Lawyer Matt Murdock. He was one of many targets that the Kingpin had given his hit men. They put silencers on their pistols and picked the locks of Nelson's front door. These men were professionals; they had performed dozens of hits for the Kingpin. Killing one fat lawyer would be easy. The apartment was pitch black, which would make the job easier for them.

'Easiest hundred grand I ever made' One of the hit men thought.

They walked deeper into the house. The man in front kept his pistol ready but stopped as he bumped into an object. He touched the object; it felt round and smooth, yet also hard. Suddenly the object slammed into the hit man's nose, throwing him back. The lights then turned on and the other hit man widened his eyes. Standing before them was Captain America himself, the light reflecting from his shield. Beside him stood the Black Panther, his knuckles claws drawn.

"You'll find gentleman that Mr Nelson isn't here right now, so how's about we take this outside, I'd hate to ruin his apartment" Cap said as he clicked his knuckles together.

Across the city, Shockwave aimed his palm lasers at Moon Knight and Shang-Chi. Suddenly a beam slammed into his back, drawing his attention away from the costumed vigilantes. Iron Man hovered over him with a wrist blaster ready to test which armour was better. Bullseye threw a volley of Shuriken towards Daredevil and Elektra, only for an arrow to fly through them, pinning the stars to a nearby wall. Hawkeye knocked back an arrow, smirking behind his mask as Bullseye eagerly pulled out a Kunai blade. There was a nice little target on Hawkeye's mask that he could hit. In Queens, the super humans widened their eyes as Whirlwind tore the roofs off of houses and obliterated.

"I'LL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!" Whirlwind yelled.

Spider-woman held onto Harry's hand as dug his free hand into the ground. Whirlwind laughed manically as he tore off chunks of the road and grass around him. Suddenly, a blade burst through his stomach. The tornadoes stopped as Whirlwind fell to the ground. Citizen V brandished his sword, looking towards the other super humans as they got off the ground.

"Well looks like we've got reinforcements" Spider-woman said.

Unbeknownst to the combatants, numerous cameras were watching the battles taking place. A man smiled, revealing a set of razor sharp teeth and foul breath. He sat at a desk, a brown coat wrapped across his naked body. Though there was little light in the room, one could see the slight green hue to his bony skin and his pointed ears. He cackled as he watched the battles.

"This is turning out better than I thought, the Ultimates are distracted and its only a matter of time before S.H.I.E.L.D gets involved fully, and when that time comes you my children will be ready to take what belongs to me" The green man said.

In the darkness several figures bowed to him. One was shirtless with a scar that had the letters "KIA" written on them. Purple armour was wrapped around his left arm. The figure beside him was kneeling lower than him and had a red costume with six arms. Kneeling behind him was a bulky giant of a creature, the hair on his hair rising as he hissed. Next to him knelt an equally as giant creature, bearing what looked like red and blue skin. Leading the pack of creatures and super humans was a man in a black suit, bearing lighter black markings across his red-eyed mask. Brown hair hung over his face while a red cloak flapped behind him.

"When I give the command, go to the Triskelion and bring me the girl" The green man smirked as his army bowed.
