Chapter 27
The Final Battle Part 2
Norman Osborn, the man that has caused Peter so much trouble in Peter's life, lay helpless in front of Peter. Peter took a step forward, but Captain America stepped in front of him.
"Peter, your work is done. We can take it from here. Tony, fire at will." Iron Man flew into the air and shot Norman with a large blue beam. Norman started to scream as the beam took effect. Norman's monstrous demeanor disappeared as he returned to his human state. He started to crawl back as the Avengers and Spiderman moved forward.
"Now, I know we're all reasonable people… Let's not be too hasty here…" the madman let out before Peter grabbed him by the throat and held him up.
"You're not getting out of this one Norman. You're never going to see the light of day again." Peter started to strengthen his grip on Norman.
"You wouldn't kill me….." Norman let off in fear as Peter glared at him with his mask down. The Avengers also started to move into position, to stop Peter if he was going to do anything drastic.
"No, I won't. I won't be like you Norman. I know that with great power comes great responsibility. And I am not going to fall into the temptation. I won't kill you, but I'm sure these folks over here know a place they can put you were you'll stay for a long, long time." Peter then threw Norman too Captain America's feet.
"Get him out of my sight. I never want to see his face again, ever." Peter said as he started to walk away. As Daras and Comet got the unconscious Osborn into some special chains created by Iron Man, Captain America grabbed his shoulder.
"Son, you did well out there today. The American Government and the President all thank you for your aid in this crisis…." Peter yelled and turned as he punched Captain America nearly two feet away on the ground. Peter continued to yell.
"Shut up! You people have no idea what it's like to lose someone! I just lost my best friend up there, and you act like its nothing. My cousin who is like a brother to me is either missing or dead and you are telling me the PRESIDENT thinks I did a good job?! Well, I have to fight the battle of my life right now and you can go tell the President to screw himself!" Peter then ran and leaped up into the dark New York sky, web slinging away. Captain America got up and Thor rushed to his aid.
"I will go get him my friend. He had no right to speak to you that way!" Captain America shook his head.
"He's a kid Thor. He's so mixed up that he doesn't know what he's doing. And maybe he's right about us being a Government group…"
The Church
Peter crashed threw a window and flipped down into the Church were Venom had been born. He looked around and saw nothing, then heard a voice.
"That was quite a fight you had with Osborn Pete. We didn't know you had it in you. You'll probably go down as the hero that saved New York. Too bad no one will ever see you again, after we get through with you." Eddie Brock jumped down from the rafters as he said this, wearing his now trademark black suit with white tie.
"I'm gonna venture a guess that you just want to end this little skirmish, because in the condition your in I'm gonna beat you senseless." Eddie said as his suit transformed into Venom mode. Peter continued to circle Eddie as his suit generated.
"What are you talking about Venom? Didn't you watch? I dominated Osborn with this new form of the suit." Venom laughed as they continued to circle.
"Don't try and lie to me Parker. I know that that was a fluke. I watched your battle, in fact, I was in the building. I sneaked in there so easy that I could have killed you and your cousin in seconds. By the way, he made it out, but you should see what he did to that Gargan character…" Venom didn't get a chance to finish because Peter leaped at his and threw a powerful punch at his hideous face. Venom counted by grabbing Peter's outstretched arm and throwing him into an unfinished wall in the broken-down church. Peter grabbed the wall and at the last second used his wall-crawling power to cling too it. His spider-sense flared as Venom leaped at him. Peter dodged by jumping up as Venom broke through the wall. Venom got up slowly and shrugged some debris off.
"So you got some new moves to do with the threads we'll give you that. But we both know that you can't beat us in a fight!" Venom then sent a web line at Peter that hit him directly in the chest, before Peter could react. Venom quickly followed up by pulled the line back and Peter flew at the monster. As Venom threw his mighty punch, Peter matched it at the last second with one of his own. The two blows hit each fighter with equal power, and the two combatants were pushed to other ends of the church.
Peter was the first to get up and he quickly leaped up into the rafters of the dark church, in order to plan his next move. Venom stood up under him, not knowing Peter's exact location and started to taunt.
"Hiding already Peter? That's not like you. Usually you take your beating and at least try to fight back. Did you finally realize you can't beat me?"
Peter quietly ran across the rafter and sent an invisible web line to another portion of the building. He then stood completely still as Venom continued.
"No witty comeback? Wow, you really have changed. This is nowhere near as fun as it used to be. Really now, just come down and die. I'm getting pretty annoyed!" Venom then leaped up and punched through a rafter. But too the evil creatures dismay Spiderman was no where in sight.
Peter quickly ran on the rafters as Venom landed back on the ground, and he spun another invisible web line. He had a plan now to turn the tides against Venom. If it worked, he might just have a chance to win this fight…
Venom let out an inhuman roar in anger. "Where are you?!" Peter looked down and noticed something peculiar at this time. Venom's long tongue was back now, and he looked more animal like with claws, very similar to what Peter had looked like when he was VENOM. Eddie had gone berserk with rage at Peter's tricks, and he wasn't sure to be proud or terrified. But he knew he had to beat Venom tonight, and this was the only way to do it. He sent out another web line, but this one made a tiny bit more noise then the others, and Venom was immediately alerted to Peter's presence.
"DIE PARKER!" screamed Venom in a rage Peter had never seen. Venom leaped up through the rafters and landed in front of Peter. The monster then shot some black webbing a Peter that quickly tied him up. Peter tried to get out of it, but it was no use.
"YOU'RE MINE NOW!" yelled Venom as he grabbed Peter and threw him down towards the attic floor. Peter hit it with a thud, but he still couldn't escape from his impromptu chains.
"Damn it!" yelled Peter as Venom jumped down to start the fight anew. Venom landed and grabbed Peter by the head.
"You won't escape me this time Parker!" yelled the monster in less of a rage. Venom threw Peter down once again with a powerful thrust then before. Peter yelled in pain as he went through the floor and fell into the actual church portion of the building.
Luckily for Peter, the fall was just enough to break the black webbing, and the wall crawler was free. His spider-sense glared like a sharp blast to the head, and Peter reacted to it by flipping up and to the right, which made him just narrowly miss Venom's incoming fist. Peter was on his feet again, and managed to land a powerful roundhouse kick on Venom, knocking the behemoth of balance.
Peter know had the momentum in the fight, and he planned on using it. Peter started on a barrage of punched, each one impacting with a more potent force then the last, with the final one flinging Venom into a wall.
Peter's spider-sense went off again and he jumped up, and this was just in time to dodge some more of Venom's new black webbing. Peter responded with a stream of web balls that each hit Venom square in the chest.
Venom screamed in anguish. This wasn't happening, how was Spiderman beating him? He turned just in time to see Spiderman's fist impact his face. The punch was so powerful that Venom fell to the ground. He wouldn't stay there for long however.
Peter once again got a warning from his spider-sense, and managed to dodge another one of Venom's tackles. But Venom was ready this time. He quickly turned 360 degrees and hit Peter with his arm, which sent the teen flying.
Peter hit the wall with a thud and quickly saw a chance to put his plan into action. He leaped up, and shot a web line back to the attic portion of the church and swung up there. He looked back to see Venom was quickly following.
When Peter got to the attic he jumped up to dodge Venoms tackle. Peter sent one more web line of invisible webbing out and turned to Venom.
"Come on Eddie! Is that the best you've got? Your daddy would be ashamed…" Venom screamed in rage and leaped at Peter with intense speed and power. Peter flipped back and saw that his plan had worked.
When Venom got about half way to Peter he was stopped midair thrashing like a fish out of water. Venom screamed and looked around for the source of this new prison. Peter stepped forward, pulled off his mask and started to speak.
"It's called my invisible webbing Venom, I hope you like it. I think it's similar to your new black webbing, except mine's a little less flashy! At that word Peter threw a nasty punch that hit Venom square in the face. Venom continued to struggle against the webbing holding him in place, roaring as he did, but it was no use. He was trapped.
"You killed a good friend of mine, and my best friend died tonight. You picked one hell of a wrong day to mess with me Brock!" Peter through another punch, just as powerful as the last, at this moment. Venom stopped thrashing for a moment, stunned from the pain it felt. For once in Venom's existence, it feared for its life.
"Face it Eddie, your trapped. There is no way in hell you're getting out of that trap. And just in case…." Peter spun more invisible webs at Venom, tying him to the ground even further. He then unleashed another punch.
"Free us Parker! We swear we will murder you and everyone you care for if you don't let us free!" screamed Venom at the top of his lungs. Peter shut him up by throwing another punch. All of these punches his in the same place, where the cheek meets the jaw, and after the force of this last one, Venom's mask degenerated into it's suit, leaving Eddies face, battered and broken, in view.
"Damn you Parker! Set us free! We'll kill you damn it, if it's the last thing we do!" Peter threw yet another punch, and this one clearly broke Eddie's jaw.
"Shut up Venom! I'm not going to let you free. I'm going to kill you. Never again will you take an innocent life!" Venom scowled at Peter as Peter hit Venom again.
"You're an idiot Parker! We never took an innocent life! The only one we killed was George Stacy, and he was aiding you! And you sure as hell aren't innocent!" Peter put his fists together and slammed Venom in the chest after that remark. Eddie started to cough up blood after that hit.
"Captain Stacy was one of the best men I have ever known, how dare you insult his memory! Now Venom, it's time for your reign of terror to end! A little compartment appeared in Peter's suit where a front pocket would be. Peter pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on and looked straight into Eddie's eyes.
"Goodbye Venom." He said as Eddie started to scream. Peter threw the lighter into Venom's chest and the symbiote instantly got ablaze. Eddie was screaming in pain as his suit burned. Peter turned and leaped out the window of the church. He knew his webbing didn't burn, so Venom would slowly burn to death. He turned to see the entire abandoned church had caught ablaze. As Peter turned to swing away, he swore he could hear one last inhuman roar that was Venom….
