Author's note: If there's anyone reading Ultimate Comics: New Spider-Man or any of my other stories. Please do when you get the chance. And Also I'm going to have my hands full with college so barely have time to do other stories. And as of now, affective immediately, I am shutting down Ultimate X-Man. I mean as I kept working on the story, I've got no where with it. So, Ultimate X-Man will be removed.

On a couple of side notes, If any of you haven't read the last update go ahead. And also I have a poll going on with two votes. The question: is who should Miles pair up with in my Spider-Man/ Young Avengers crossover? X-23 or Miss America?

That is all.

Issue 12: Breakout in Riker's

Few hours earlier. Fashion City,Tribeca. Manhatten, New York 1:32 p.m.

Gwen POV

Where is Terry? I kept wondering if he was alright or was he hurt. I haven't heard from her since I called him yesterday when his sister was taken. I still thought about Terry, thought. I know him and Jess broke up and that Laurie was killed by Jackal, I was always worried about him. I mean after he broke out of being hostage by Zellner and killing Jackal in symboite mode, he hasn't been okay ever since. I keep on wondering if he's being controlled or if he's being influenced by the symboite. But when he told him about the symboite taking control of him, he told me that's something's different. And when I saw on the news that there were people acting strange. Like they were animals. Could this be of the symboites? Is this an infection or is this something else? I was about to press until...

"Gwen!" said a familiar voice I recognized. I turned around and saw it was MJ making her way toward me. "I tried calling you. I even texted you."

"You did?" I said, checking my cell phone. It turned out she did when I had two missed calls and three missed messages from her. "Sorry. What did you want to me talk to me about?"

"Have you seen the news?" MJ showed me images of symboite infected people causing chaos, with the last one being with Jess, the new Ronin, and X-Men fighting a dozen of them in Hell's Kitchen. "What's going on in this city?"

"MJ, do you remember those two symboites that you and Aunt May encountered?" I asked her as I saw Mary Jane nod her head. "Well it turns out there's more of them." I pulled her close to me as we went by a corner. "It's possible that some people are being infected by the symboites. And I think Terry might have figured out what's going on."

"So you think-"

WWWWWWOOOOOOEEEEE WWWWOOOOOEEEEEEEE WWWOOOOEEEEEEEEEEE

MJ and I turned around to see SHIELD issued APCs driving heavily on the street. We could see people fleeing away frightened and terrorfied, with SHIELD agents evacuating everyone when one of them entered the store I was working at. He held his SHIELD issued rifle up high with one hand.

"Attention, everyone! You are to evacuate the Manhatten Island immediately! I say again, you are to evacuate immediately! The whole population of the city needs to leave at Brooklyn Bridge, George Washington bridge, or the Lincoln tunnel! You have 17 minutes to evacuate before we seal off the island! Move it!" the agent shouted with everyone including me and Mary Jane running out of the store, trying to rush out of the city as possible.

George Washington bridge. Manhatten, New York 5:44 p.m.

Me and Mary Jane reached George Washington bridge and it was pure chaos. People were shouting in panicking fear, trying to barge their way in. This symboite infection in New York must be worse than I thought. We found out we were too late to evacuate the city. A squad of SHIELD agents were holding the line, telling everyone who were trying to leave to stay back. Mary Jane and me tried making our way through the crowd as quick as possible, until something caught my attention with wide eyes. I think I saw Eddie Brock in the crowd wearing a white hoodie and faded blue jeans, but he turned away from the crowd. I was trying to get confirmation if it was him until my phone suddenly ringed as I brought my phone up, seeing it was Terry who was calling me.

"Hello?"

"Gwen, it's Terry. Where are you?"

"I'm at Tribeca with MJ. SHIELD's not letting anyone out of Manhatten, what's going on?"

"It's the symboite crisis. They're sealing off the island and I know for a fact Venom's behind this somehow."

"What could Brock be up to?"

"I don't think it's Eddie, I think it's someone else or something. Then there's the fact that one scientist I know who could help. Phineas Mason."

"Tinkerer? But he's at Riker's Island, how are you going to get him out?"

"Well, I would have to be bust him out of prison. Gwen... I'll be breaking the law if I do this."

"Terry, you have to do what you think is right. You'll have to find a way to save the city."

"I know... Gwen, I have to talk you something."

"Sorry, Terry I can't heard you. The crowd's going too loud! Me and MJ are being taken somewhere else. We'll call you later." I said hanging up the phone when all of a sudden...

CRAASSHHHH

A SHIELD apc went flying toward a few SHIELD agents covering the exit to Manhatten as it blew up upon impact. Eveyone was suddenly screaming in terror as me and MJ heard a monstrous roar coming from behind us, with a SHIELD helicopter beaming its light as the distribance going on behind us. Until it was taken down by a flying form, sending it crashing down to the ground.

"Oh my god!"

Brooklyn bridge. Brooklyn, New York 6:21 p.m.

The entire entrance to Manhatten was cut off in order to prevent everyone from entering the infected city. Bridges were closed and guarded in Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx even Staten Island. All that stood on Brooklyn bridge was barricades, with a seven men guard standing by overwatch. Retired CIA agent Adam Gardener didn't know what the situitation was, but he could only tell it meant trouble. People were shouting, panicking along with a few cries going to love ones being trapped and sealed off in the city during the quarantine of Manhatten. Adam made his way to one of the SHIELD agents barricading the entrance to New York City.

"Stay back, sir. The city's is being sealed."

"Adam Gardener, CIA." Adam said showing his badge for a quick second before putting it back in his pocket. "What the hell's going on here?"

"Manhatten is being quarantined sir. The city's under infection. I can't tell you more, sir. It's classified."

"Fine, then." the former CIA muttered in sudden defeat, leaving the guard who was blockading at Brooklyn bridge. 'Hell's bells. I can't believe that entire island is quarantined, not to mention Harry might still be in Manhatten and I can't get to him. All I need to is start up the boat I got in the docks, get into New York and find-' Adam thought turning his attention to a couple in front of them. The man was a bald African-American with a rough beard, while the woman was hispanic with shoulder length hair. 'What's this?'

"We need to do something. Miles and Nora are trapped in that city."

"I know... I know. Damn it! What in the hell does something always happen in this place? Its like a damn plague! I knew we should've let them go with Cheyenne and her mother. We shouldn't have left them..."

"Jefferson, don't talk like that. Cheyenne isn't anything like her father. You know that. Look..." the wife trailed off, having her husband looking her in the eyes. "We'll find a way. We're going to get botn of them out there." the wife finished, now noticing the former CIA agent approaching toward them

"I'm sorry for interrupting, but I could overheard you two wanting to find a way in New York? I might be able to help with that. I own a boat that could take us there." Adam said rushing to his car as he motioned the married couple to come with him

"How do we know we can trust you?" the husband named Jefferson asked, folding his arms

"I can assure you that I do not work for SHIELD, if that's what your thinking. You can either wait here and see what happens, or you could come with me to get your kids." the retired CIA agent stated giving the couple an ultimatum, who in return went inside Gardener's car

"This boat you have in the docks, will it take us to Manhatten?"

"It will, ma'am. It'll take us there." Adam answered as he drove to the docks, where his boat was so him and the parents of Miles Morales and Nora Harris could find their kids

Riker's Island. Manhatten, New York 7:35 p.m.

After dealing with a few problems once he inflitrated Riker's Island, Terry decided to make his plan to break Phineas Mason out of prison. All he needed was a tank to run through the walls of the prison, fortunately he used RHINO for that solution. After he tricked RHINO to go back his cell unknowingly after suffering a bit of brain damage, a dozen prisoners ram the halls as Terry took up a fighting stance. Delivering every jab, hook and kick to every Riker's Island prisoner until he spottted an old scrawny man wearing only round glasses and a orange prisoner outfit was Phineas Mason. Terry rushed ahead and broke off a hole of the bar wall, breaking the Tinkerer out of his prison cell.

"Are you Phineas Mason? The Tinkerer?"

"Yes?" Tinkerer said, cautiously

"I'm here to bust you out, I guess."

"Really?" Tinkerer responded confused as Terry nodded his head, while both of them made their way to the prison elevator. "What exactly am I being released for?"

"Let's just say it's important that we receive your help." Terry answered as he pressed Tinkerer to walk on, only for Monica Chang being accompanied by a couple of SHIELD agents, Kitty Pryde and his ex girlfriend Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman. "Well, this can't get any worse."

"Well done, Spider-Man." said an all too familiar voice Terry suddenly recognized. A voice he hoped he wouldn't here. He turned around and saw Tombstone standing behind him and Tinkerer, and he wasn't alone. He had the enforcers Shocker, Ox, and Bullet. There was also a supervillian Terry had encountered last time following Tombstone. He wore a silver hi tech hovering suit that covered his face with a dome which had exposed his mouth, along with red and blue neon lights.

"Well, sh*t." Terry cursed

"Spider-Man, Tombstone, hell everyone. You're taken into custody!"

"Director Chang. You know as well as I do that this crisis calls for action."

"I have this situitation under control."

"Tell me this then, do your superiors give you the resources needed in order to end this crisis? Or is it to ensure your failure?" Tombstone questioned Director Chang with as the director of SHIELD glared at the stone faced mob boss

"Take Spider-Man and the Tinkerer to our base of operations at Stark tower. Let's clear this area!" she ordered the SHIELD agents as Terry and Tinkerer followed her along with Kitty Pryde and Jessica Drew

Terry and Tinkerer were taken inside a SHIELD transport hovercraft with Jessica Drew and Kitty Pryde as both gazed at him. However, he didn't notice it as he spotted a few helicarriers hovering above the bridges that lead to New York City.

"What the hell are they doing?"

"The only thing they think best to stop an infection." Tinkerer stated as the SHIELD helicarriers opened fire on the bridges leading in and out of New York, having them completely destroyed. "Containment."

"Are they nuts?! How do they think that's going to stop them?" Terry inquired, yelling as Jess touched his wrist

"It's the only thing they could do. For now, it's up to us to keep the symboites from escaping Manhatten."

"I hope you're right about this." Terry said back. "I really do, Jess."
