Author's note: Before we get started, I just wanted to congratulate Tom Holland for landing the role of the next spider-man. I didn't want Andrew to be replaced (although, he can't be replaced, no one can, because we always carry a piece of each other into everything we do next, to remind us of who we are and who we're meant to be.), but if anyone were to fill in his shoes, I'm glad it was Tom. May he bring us many exciting spider-man films for years to come.

P.s. When I wrote this chapter, I was listening to the Mad Max: Fury Road soundtrack the entire time (mainly "brothers in arms" and "chapter doof". If you've seen the movie and heard the soundtrack, I think you'll know what's gonna happen.)

"I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm.
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold,
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones,
It keeps my veins hot, the fire's found a home in me.
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fight,
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie.

And now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home
People talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes
I'm done with it

This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
We're at the start, the colours disappear
I never watch the stars, there's so much down here
So I just try to keep up with the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

I dream of you, but they're not the sweet kinds
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time

And now people talk to me, I'm slipping out of reach now
People talk to me, and all their faces blur
But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
I'm done with it (ooh)

And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat." Lorde

(Gwen's pov)

The streets are extended gutters, and the gutters are filled with blood. It looks dry, so it must be from everyone that was gunned down last night. The streets are virtually empty, half the city is at Oscorp Tower, and the other half must be inside their homes. Either out of fear that the Spider-Slayers will come back, or because they're too wounded by the death of a family member... or a bullet.

It didn't take long for me to figure out how to use the hover implants in my shoes. It feels like I'm just walking in the air. It feels like it's completely natural. They don't get too high in the air, 25 feet at most. Although we kick off from the sides of buildings which gets us a few feet higher.

Felicia and I make sure not to stay more than 10 feet apart from each other in case the Slayers decide to ambush us. I guess it's more for her protection than mine, given the fact that I have thicker body armor and that I have an overall higher regeneration rate than her. It's not exactly a difficult task since we aren't going very fast, and there are very few turns.

You'd think we would've met at least some resistance by now. Or at least see a few Oscrop trucks on the ground, but there's nothing. There's no military presence in the city, or even some brave cops trying to maintain a hold over the riots. The bridges were destroyed, so there's no way to send in any ground troops, and the Slayers would shoot down any aircrafts trying to enter the city. All of this means only one thing: we're on our own now.

I hear something in the distance, something that only sounds like it's getting closer. I look behind me and see an 18-wheeler heading our way. The driver presses a button, causing the sides of the trailer to collapse and several Spider-Slayers start flying out.

They open fire on us as we turn to our right. There billets rip through everything in there path. They almost hit us, but we dodge each set of bullets that comes our way. I grip the machine gun from it's holster on my back, and return fire. "Target their eyes!" I say "That's the closest thing they have to a weak spot."

We each shoot one in the eye, causing them to fire blindly. I hear a scream, and see Felicia dive to the ground. I grab her wrist just before she hits the ground. During the blind-fire, a bullet went through her left foot. The implants require both feet to be active, and the bullet destroyed the implant. I wrap my left arm around her waist, and carry her with me.

Five more Slayers come our way, so I shoot out a window to the nearest building and we cut through it. The Slayers are too big to climb through, which gives us a a little wiggle room.

We cut through the building, only to find several more slayers waiting for us. We shall of down the two that are blocking our way, and then move down to the streets. The remaining slayers continue to shoot at us. We evade the spray of bullets by sliding under the cars that we come across, but still make sure not to go off course.

Oscorp Tower is unmistakably visible now. I'd say about a mile or two away. The big rig shows up again and gets in front of us, this time, a 50 cal. machine gun materializes from its roof. "It's Fiers!" Felicia announces when we get a good look at the driver. "Im gonna need you to throw me into the truck." She says in a weak voice "I'll get him out of our way."

"No Felicia!" I say, attempting to sound commanding, but instead coming off as begging. "You've already lost a lot of blood, and there's no way you'll be able to get out of the truck."

"Remember what I told you?" She asks "I said I'd kill him, no matter what." I can't figure out how to respond, so I just sigh in agreement.

The gun opens fire on us seconds later. Once I reach a window of opportunity where the gun can't see me (it can only turn 180 degrees), I throw her onto the truck. I lose sight of her once she climbs in through the window of the passenger door. The truck turns violently from side to side for a few seconds, before turning upside down...and bursting into flames just before it hits the ground.

This isn't the time to grieve, not yet. Just focus on what you came here to do:

"Save Peter,

kill Harry,

bring down Oscorp."

Nothing else matters.

The slayers suddenly decide to reframe from chasing me, and move on to another target: Kraven. I jump from building to building, getting a little higher each time. I eventually jump onto an approaching Slayer, and hold onto in until I'm close enough to Kraven.

I shoot out it's eye, as well as the two other that I can see, before making my way to Kraven. "Where is Felicia?" He asks once I reach him

"She's gone." I sigh

"I strongly suggest you get away from my helicopter." He says through his thick accent

I do as he says, not knowing what he's planning to do. It's a straight line towards Oscorp Tower, and the helicopter is heading right for it's center. It steadily picks up speed as they get closer, going up only slightly. Dr. Connors, realizing what Kraven is planning to do, jumps out of the helicopter mid-transformation.

I catch him, only to see Kraven's helicopter crash into the building.

to be continued...

A/N: I was going to mention this earlier, but the reason the big rig caught on fire was because Felicia shoved a live grenade into Fiers' mouth. Sadly, the truck's sudden tilt caused her to pull out the pin.
