Chapter Twenty-One: Electric Overload
Peter's POV
I jumped from a building trying to dodge all of Electro's shocks before I front flipped onto the pavement and dodged another shock from Electro that hit a parking meter I was in front of. I dodged three more before I performed a handspring over a car to avoid a fourth shock, I felt bad for the owner's car though.
I shot a web at Electro's face when I heard and saw quarters fall all around me as a parking meter was hit again. I was on a building's window when Electro said he'd roast me for that and turned around to find me gone before he continued looking for me on the street.
I heard sparking electricity before I dodged Electro who was trying to shock me again before I said sorry for all the times I made fun of him after I joined SHIELD which wasn't fun for him or me but maybe someone else. I kept shooting and swinging while I dodged his attacks before I heard James Jonnah Jameson talking on the Bugletron.
He told us that he's proud to unveil that the new global satellite is now operational which I know will be a subject that turns to me somehow. I jumped onto the Bugletron before I jumped onto a nearby streetlight and aimed at Electro who was in front of the Bugletron forcing him into it in the process.
I figured that as soon as I had tazered him and he disappeared that tazering him into a large scale circuit board wasn't such a good idea before I went home after not getting a hold of anyone.
Time Skip: At Home
I tried telling them that the power might go out soon because I made another mistake but they weren't listening to me and I heard Sam say that he was almost at the last dungeon and needs to clear one more level. I saw Danny next to him on his MP3 Player listening to meditation music before I heard Ava tell him to be quiet because she's listening to an online lecture.
I heard Luke say that the ref for the football game he's watching is 'Doctor Doom' evil but that isn't the case, just because the ref calls a penalty on a team you like doesn't make him super villain evil. I think this house is getting way too crowded when it comes to electronics, it doesn't seem like they can work without electronics anymore.
It can be a real problem that they're using electronics more than we are talking because if we need to work as a team this could get in the way of that. And right on cue the power goes out before I chuckled at Sam for saying 'my dragon eggs!' while the others said something that is currently on Earth.
"Oh come on Electro, I knew this was going to happen" I said getting their attention but only for a little less than a second before their eyes were on the TV again. He told everyone that thanks to me he's become hyper charged which made me slump, but only a little not really noticeable unless you're Tony.
Electro said that we have twenty-four hours to, he paused at that for an odd reason, give him all our money before he turns off all the power in New York forever. Sam asked if he actually said 'thanks to Spider-Man' and I sighed hitting my hand against my forehead.
"I was trying to tell all of you that Electro and I fought earlier but you were too busy with your videogame" I pointed to Sam "your Zen Music" I pointed to Danny. "Your online lecture" I pointed to Ava "and your football game" I pointed to Luke.
"To notice I was saying anything at all" I said before I asked Danny if he can use his powers to make a light. He told me he's never used it for anything like creating light before he did so and said it was peaceful in its own way before Ava asked how Electro got so powerful.
"I was trying to tell you earlier before the power went out that when I was fighting him I made the mistake of shocking him into a wide spread circuit board" I told them before I said we have to suit up. Iron Fist turned off the light but I was the only one in their proper suit. Nova had on power-Man's glasses and Iron Fist's outfit, White Tiger had on her mask but Power-Man's suit.
Power-Man had on Nova's suit (1) and Iron Fist's mask and Iron Fist had on Nova's helmet and White Tiger's suit which was really weird. I think we had a non-spoken agreement that we don't speak of it again when the lights were back on and the others changed into the correct suits this time.
I was leaning against my Spider Cycle asking them how we track down Electro and get there fast enough without power. The next thing I know I'm on the Spider Cycle with Danny meditating behind me and Nova's carrying White Tiger and Power-Man plus the Spider Cycle while flying.
White Tiger asked if we could just swing there but I shook my head "I had wanted to keep my old ones but Dr. Connors said that these AC/DC ones that run on power are better, so no I can't" I said wincing at that because I sounded rude there. White Tiger was complaining that we can't do anything because all our options are down the drain before I looked back at Danny who said that it forces oneself to reevaluate the meaning of life.
I looked forward and I didn't like what was coming next *clack* we all fell when I hit my head on the streetlight making me fall with the rest. I shook my head to get my bearings before I got up hoping my nose doesn't swell right now of all times.
"We have to walk or run the rest of the way guys" I said but they didn't seem to want to so I was pushed onto my Spider Cycle and told to hold on by White Tiger, she's supposed to be the most used to running around of all things. Danny was in the front on the hood while White Tiger was behind me holding onto my shoulder blades which feels really uncomfortable but I think the marks from her nails are healing.
Power-Man is pushing us and Nova's just floating with his arms crossed across his chest like he's mad or something. I smelled oil and exhaust from cars, a lot of cars, before Power-Man said we need to lose some weight before I looked up to see a mob of angry and annoyed patrons.
The patrons were throwing stuff at me and I really hope it doesn't injure my team at all because I feel guilty enough that I caused this whole thing. I suggested they read a book or maybe something like hide and seek or something else, but they seemed even angrier when I said that.
I felt heat from my Spider Cycle and looked down to see Electro on my Cycle's screen laughing at me before Nova started charging up at our expense, I think going into a trap. When I tried telling Electro to stop Nova thought I was talking about him and said that it's got him, I was worried about the people and the car in front of us before we ran into it and went into the air because of it before it short-circuited again.
When we landed Ava yelled at Nova for almost killing us which I tried to stop before Batrok decided to make his appearance kicking me in the face before jumping on Nova and saying 'excuse me' in French before using him as a jumping board. I was going to stop him but the only way I could is transforming but that's not an option, my true form weighs over ten thousand tons and that can break the bridge which I don't want happening.
I was going to punch Batrok when he kicked me in the face instead before Nova swooped down missing Batrok by a few centimeters. Before Iron Fist punched him but he dodged, I think we're more suited to power than non-power which isn't good because many villains we know don't really require power.
Iron Fist tried punching him three times but he was kicked on his fourth attempt so he couldn't even hit him at all, I was glad that when Batrok tried to kick him that he dodged it but I felt bad for the owner's car that got a smashed windshield. Nova tried to attack again but Batrok jumped and Nova hit Iron Fist instead to where they fell off the car and created a lot of dust in the fall.
Ava tried attacking him by pouncing but he dodged like I had figured he would before he sat on her shoulder blades because she was on her stomach, I heard Power-Man tried to punch him but it didn't work too well. He was kicked in the chin and his right jaw, which I don't think was too fun especially for the patrons who were next to the roadblocks and screaming.
I tried saying you're supposed to use communication, that we're acting like rookies because of it, and it isn't good. I heard Nova say 'we don't need a lecture from the one who hyper charged Electro' which I get. "I feel bad enough already Nova" I said before I felt something metal hit my head before Batrok said he has to go and took a pearl necklace with him.
Power-Man picked up someone's van and said that we should hide under here and the others nodded while I'd rather get hit by the patrons' anger at least they'll vent it on someone who deserves it. Power-Man said we need to find Electro fast so I looked around and saw a faint field of electricity in the city behind us so I told him I found him and that Batrok can wait.
I ran to the city where Electro might be, after jumping on about four to six cars/trucks I climbed a metal suspension bar that keeps the bridge in place. I found what I was looking for and what I found was the Tran. which was good, I told my team that we're using the Tran. before I jumped on it.
Nova carried White Tiger up here first before he went back to Power-Man who had catapulted Iron Fist up here. When Power-Man was up I asked Nova if he could push it and he nodded saying 'going downtown' which people can go without.
Electro appeared so I told Sam it was going to happen again before Electro asked if I was ready for round two which I know I am but I don't know about the others. It went zipping down the cables and I was surprised they didn't break from the amount of friction before I told my team, minus Nova, to brace for impact.
Before the impact though I had picked up White Tiger since I knew Nova would get the others and jumped off. We ran the rest of the way before we stopped when Nova asked me if I had said he was a second tier bad guy before.
"I told you earlier that when we were fighting I made the mistake of shocking him into a larger power grid than the ground like I had before" I told him before we started running again. We hid behind a corner and I saw Electro messing with a bunch of electronics before I heard something.
"Guys we have to be careful in this part of the city" I said before I saw headlight light and turned around to see that a car was turned on. We all jumped out of the way of the car that drove forward and almost into us before Luke asked who's driving the trucks in front of us.
"Electro Power-Man Electro" I said before I jumped over the first truck that Iron Fist punched in half which was actually very cool. Luke said that Electro was sending out an electronic barrier that turns everything that uses power into a weapon which I had already guessed in the first place.
I heard a tapping before I looked down at Power-Man's foot to see a little Blender trying to attack Power-Man I was going to kick it but Power-Man did so and I really wish he didn't because he saw that the game was on. A bus full of screaming people drove past us so I told Nova he has a bus to catch and I think it was sort of a mistake since I think he was just waiting for that order.
Time Skip: After the Crashing of the bus
I ran to the others hoping they're okay and seeing that they were, except for Nova who was a bit disoriented, I heard a chopping noise and looked up to see a helicopter heading for me. I stopped it from hitting other patrons so I was really happy about that before it shut down and I let it go hoping that I didn't damage it too badly for the owners of the copter.
I dodged an electro shock from Electro three times before I said that I like the new look, he however made a giant electric ball and threw it at me for complimenting him. I was glad when I saw a streetlight because I jumped on top of it and reached it just in time for me to not get shocked from the condensed ball.
I noticed that if he keeps being everywhere at once then he'll short circuit himself when he was saying that he's the king of New York for being this way. He shocked some ATMs and a lot of money came flying out but I don't know how he would be able to spend it if he shocks everything he touches.
I tried to stop Nova from speaking without getting Electro's attention but I was too late, he already said he would be frying the biggest vaults on Wall Street. Electro said 'that's an idea' before he went off to the Federal Reserve "what is wrong with you Nova? You just told him to rob the Federal Reserve" I told him before I turned around to go after Electro.
Lights were blinking in all the buildings Electro separated into when we arrived, we tried getting closer but it was hard when he surrounded himself with wild electricity. He started short circuiting again before Nova hit him with a beam of energy which made him stop short circuiting which is bad for us but not for him at the moment.
When he turned to Nova Nova asked me if my Web Shooters were still down and if I had a net I could throw at Electro which made me slap my forehead with my head before it fell limp at my side. Electro heard what Nova said like I feared he would and he made my Web Shooters go hay wire, I tried finding something when that happened to jam my Web shooters but I couldn't before I had Webbed my team to a semi.
Electro noticed a crane on a construction building before he made it fall above my team before I saw a car and put my arms in it and I felt even worse for this because I was ruining it like usual. When I saw the crane was closer to falling I pointed my Web Shooters at each other hoping it would work and it did.
I went over to Ava and asked if I could borrow her claws which she allowed me to do so I was able to get my arms unstuck and use them. We got everyone off of the semi and away from it before the cylinder that the crane was holding fell on it.
We headed to the Federal Reserve and when we reached the vault we saw that it was already opened, I stopped my team from walking to it though. "We need to communicate guys otherwise we'll continue going in circles" I said before I continued.
"We've been focusing on the wrong thing, videogames and football games don't save anyone right now" I said before I looked at Nova who said he was thinking about a videogame. He said he was joking and that he was seeing if we were paying attention, from everyone glaring you could tell everyone but Nova was paying attention.
I asked them if they noticed anything weird about him that we can use, White Tiger said she noticed the way he was talking which I was hoping they noticed. Iron Fist said he noticed as well and that 'it's like the more he's plugged in the more unfocused he's becoming' which is true before Power-Man said that it was like us tonight.
I got a plan because of what Iron Fist said so I asked Nova if he still has his videogame on him, it took him a minute before he realized I had a plan. After a few minutes I saw Electro grabbing a lot of gold so I asked him where he's going to put all of it before Nova said he could hook into one of the big satellites on top of the Bugle.
When he left and the power was out in the vault I did a knuckle bump with Nova for his work with that.
Time Skip: After the Start of Global Takeover
I was finally able to use my Web Shooters to get around so I used them to corner Batrok into a trap which he, literally, ran right into. He ran into Power-Man and White Tiger but got punched in the face by Iron Fist who was dropped into it by Nova.
I told them it was great teamwork before Electro tried to shock us with an electricity laser that looked more like controlled lightning. I told them I'd get his attention before I swung off telling them to stick to the plan before I heard Electro say 'I don't have time for you Spider-Man' but he was going to have to make time.
He told me I was an 'insignificant bug' which isn't true because spiders are arachnids not bugs. He told me that he's connected to everything around the world, he can shut down cars, computers, and other power driven devices.
He told me to 'bow down to the king' before I told him that he doesn't have the brain power to watch a lot of things at once like a king does. He said that the one thing he has is power before he came out of the Bugletron but was still in it.
I shot a web and dodged him by swinging on the shot web when he shot after me before I told him 'he can fight me but not all of us' which I made sound like a challenge.
Time Skip: A few Minutes Later
I was on a building dodging Electro's attacks when I saw a Satellite Dish above me, I shot my webs at it and it fell almost on top of him but not really which isn't what I was wanting but I can't help that either. I smiled at myself hoping that this plan will work like I hope it will before I jumped off the building and swung over to where Nova and the others were.
I heard Nova ask if we overdid it and I shook my head when I swung by saying that it was just right before I swung somewhere to talk to Electro. I landed on a sign and asked him how he was holding up before he said that I can't beat him or something, I think it was something like that but he was short circuiting again.
I told him that he was stretched too thin and that having so many systems under his control is too much for him to handle, he was debating himself on that part before it finally became too much. He turned back to how he was before and fell to the ground, I told him that he was a victim of ultimate multi-tasking before I told him there was a lesson in this.
The lesson being that too much modern technology is bad for the brain, before I punched him in the face, I didn't feel anything from that before I saw my hand was on fire so I put it out with my other hand. Power-Man and White Tiger both punched me in the shoulders and I figured I'd get a few bruises from that before we went back home.
I walked into the dining room asking what they were doing when I saw Luke turn off the TV and Sam showed me a drawing of Spider-Man with his butt on fire. He told me that he didn't think that making fun of me would be a good team building exercise before I shrugged.
A/N: Hello, I finished writing this at 6:51 P.M on August 19, 2016.
1) I got that confused at first since I couldn't remember which suit Nova and Power-Man had.
I do hope you like this chapter and will continue reading, see you on Monday.
