A handful of citizens were interviewed by the media and the police on that day. Some statements were greatly exaggerated while others were in too much shock to give a proper one. However, all the statements had one thing in common…he had glowing red skin and he kept muttering Oscorp to himself…
Martin Li, or at least what was left of him, had limped all the way to Kuoh to confront Norman himself. In total that was a 20 mile hike, but to do so whilst your body was falling apart most likely made it feel longer. As he limped through the streets, on lookers were horrified while others wondered what kind of movie was being filmed.
Li had seen better days, mumbling to himself and occasionally throwing up bile, he was determined to kill Osborn even if his body refused to listen. His joints quickly withering away and his facial features resembling that of a corpse, it was evident that he didn't have long.
Just then the glowing man stopped, he stood there for a few moments as if he had simply forgotten what he was doing. Then he looked towards one of the bystanders…
In a flash of light, the entire city block was now under Li's control. All of them sharing his glowing red eyes now. He resumed his sluggish march towards oscorp with his brainwashed victims following suit.
The large consumption of devil's lotus had ruined his body, as he burned the pavement with every step he took, bits of flesh were tearing of the soles of his feet with each stride. Blood oozing out of every orifice of his body from his eyes all the way down to his anus. His arms and legs cracked with the slightest movement. Despite all of this, Li only had one thing on his mind, killing Osborn…that was until he saw the kuoh high school building…
"So you found this wounded cat girl and nursed her back to health?"
"You shouldn't be questioning anything I say at this point…"
"Fair enough…"
Issei and Peter were in class yet again whispering to each other during Mr. Connors lecture no less.
"So…", Issei whispered
"So what?"
"Gimme details! Measurements, what was she wearing, stuff like that."
"A girl, but with cat features, a tail, two tails actually. A set of ears, stuff like that. I think she was about 5'2 or 5'3"
"You know that's not what I meant…"
"I know…", Peter replied in a smug manner
"*sigh* Anyway were you able to dig anything else up?"
"She had this collar-"
"Oh wow…didn't know you were into that stuff…"
"Good one", Peter replied quickly dismissing Issei's comment, "…it had the Oscorp logo engraved on the side of it. Whatever it was it was restricting her abilities, I was able to deactivate it, but she ended up breaking it when she ripped it off. Its decent evidence but I need something a little more concrete. Something worries me though…"
"What's that?"
"She was pretty strong, almost too strong to be able to be caught by people from oscorp."
"Okaaay…where are you going with this?"
"She mentioned some type of oscorp task force, guys in all black carrying those weapons we've been dealing with for the past few months, the nullifiers. The guys carrying them are what's bugging me though. She said that they seemed different."
"Different how?"
"Different to the point of being able to catch some magic cat girl with little to no effort."
"So do you think Oscorp is giving these guys some kind of like steroids or something."
"That's what I'm guessing…", Peter mumbled to himself.
"Parker!"
"Uh Y-Yes Mr. Connors…"
"You and Hyoudo seem to be having an interesting conversation care to share it with the class?"
"OH Uh it really isn't all that important sir just uh…you know trivial stuff heh heh…"
"In that case, please try to refrain from talking during my lesson. You're a bright student Parker, but talent will only get you so far. Open your ears and close your mouth understand?"
"Yes sir…"
The halls of kuoh high were bustling yet again. Among the different faces Issei and Peter were seen walking towards next period further discussing the matter of bringing down Oscorp and Kiba's absence.
"So there's still no word from Kiba huh?"
Issei sighed, "No…jeez, I don't get that guy. How could he just run off like that! I mean I know what he went through was rough and all but…he should've just talked to us about it…we're friends after all."
Peter's words were caught in his throat when his spider sense went off. Something was flying towards him…not to big…not to small…spherical…Peter knew exactly what it was…and he knew exactly who threw it.
Deciding to play the part of a defenseless nerdy high schooler, Peter let the basket ball hit him in the back of the head. An audible smack could be heard as the fully pumped rubber ball collided with his skull.
"OHHHHH…", Flash and his cronies cheered
"I told you I'd make the shot!"
"Relax that was a two pointer at best…"
"No way that was a three for sure"
"Hey see if you can bounce it off Parkers head and hit Horndog over there!"
As the group of jocks began laughing a little too hard at the suggestion, Peter rubbed the back of his head. Issei offered to help him up but was reassured that his friend was fine.
Issei balled up his fist to avenge his fallen brethren, Peter stopped him and shook his head. Issei did have the boosted gear, but just like Peter, he couldn't just bust it out whenever he wanted to.
Besides, Flash definitely wasn't worth the trouble.
"What do you want Flash…", Issei grumbled
Flash walked up to the two brunettes and draped his shoulders over both of them.
"I figure I'd catch up on giving you two a hard time. I've been way for a while and you losers have missed out on plenty of beatings…", Flash's voice fell to a low growl as he pulled the two boys in closer. "…now that I'm back I'll be very generous with my ass whooping's…that goes double for you Parker…don't think I've forgotten about what you did to me."
Peter glared at the blonde jock, "…I already said I was sorry Flash…"
"No…that's not good enough…I laid off for a while because of what happened to your uncle, and I went off on my cruise. I think you've had more than enough time to brace yourself for the Flash's onslaught…"
"…don't talk about my uncle…Eugene…", Peter growled
Flash shoved Issei away from him and grabbed Peter by the collar ready to deliver a welcome back punch, but just then…
"Mr. Thompson!"
A voice bellowed from behind the boys, making all of them stop whatever they were doing. Turning around to see who it was Issei and Peter were a bit relieved to see that the loud roar had come from the petite and frail looking Sona Sitri. Unsurprisingly, Tsubaki was right behind her…
"What exactly is going on here?", she snarled at the jock
Flash had a problem with authority figures, acting like a smartass with most teachers and completely brushing off his father's jabs at him. However even he knew not to mess with the student council President.
"I believe I asked you a question Mr. Thompson."
"Tch…Don't worry about it Prez! Just boys being boys ya know? Aint that right Parker?", Flash began messing with Peters hair
Sona looked over to Peter for confirmation, just as before Peter gave her a look asking her to dismiss all of it.
She sighed, "…very well, but know this Mr. Thompson, if I hear that you're causing trouble for teachers and harassing other students, I'll make sure you never play a for a single team at this school again understand?"
"Jeez Prez like I said we were jus-"
"Is that clear Mr. Thompson?"
In a shining turn of events, it looked like Sona was talking down to Flash, despite being significantly shorter than him.
Flash curbed his tongue, Sona looked like she would pounce on him if he said anything else regarding the matter. His eyes wandered over to where Peter and Issei were standing and much to his displeasure the boys were making faces and blowing raspberries at the jock.
Flash gritted his teeth and moved on, with his group following in suit.
Shortly after Sona and Tsubaki approached the boys, "Are you two alright?", Sona asked
"Yeah, thanks to you President! You snapping at Flash is definitely the highlight of my day."
"Thanks for the save you two we appreciate the save." Peter said smiling at Sona
"Th-Think nothing of it, I'm simply carrying out my duty as Student Council President. I will not tolerate such behavior at this school…but…Peter…"
"Hm?"
"Why do you let yourself get pushed around by Thompson? With your abilities…well surely you know where I'm going with this…"
"Hmm…I think so, you're saying I should throw him out of the window next time, right?"
"O-Of course not! All I'm saying Is maybe be a little more assertive…with restraint obviously."
"Well I'll keep that in mind…"
"Onto a different matter, have you made any progress on your investigation?"
"Um…well, yeah actually…", Peter went on to explain the events of Kuroka coming to his house, along with the mysterious amplified Osborn task force. Even the air vent where Kuroka managed to escape from.
"That Oscorp collar sounds irrefutable…", said Sona
"It is but…I just want to double down on Osborn. If I can find something else, it should be enough for us to throw the book at him. That vent…I'm sure I can find something if I can sneak in there."
"You're planning on going alone?", asked Tsubaki
"No offense to you guys but it would be a lot harder to sneak around the building with more than one per-"
Peter's spider sense had gone off for the second time today, this one was much more prevalent however.
Peter ran towards the window, what he saw next made his heart skip a beat. Hundreds of civilians were outside the school marching towards it, and up in front was a crimson light in the shape of a man. Peter couldn't really tell from the second floor of the school, but he swore that he and the man locked eyes…
The others gathered around Peter to see what he was looking at, all of them sharing similar faces of confusion and worry.
"We need to get the students out of here…", said Sona "Tsubaki grab the others and begin evacuation procedures…"
"Right away ma'am…", Tsubaki began sprinting down the hallway, Sona then turned to Issei, "Hyoudo, I advise you alert Rias and the others."
"R-Right!", Issei sprinted in the other direction
"Peter you and I…Peter?", Sona felt a sudden breeze, a breeze that wasn't present earlier. Not only that but the window to the second floor was wide open and Peter was nowhere to be seen…figures.
After pulling his mask down, Spidey leapt into the fray and found that the front gate of the school had been destroyed. Surprisingly enough only one set of footprints were visible. Spidey knelt down and learned that the foots steps were burned onto the concrete.
Following the footsteps lead to a mob of angry civilians, all of them with glowing red eyes. The only word that could describe them was angry, they were fighting amongst one another, destroying and thrashing the school grounds.
"What's wrong with them…", one of the brainwashed had leapt onto Spidey attempting to bludgeon him. Despite their violent nature, they were still only human. The wallcrawler had no difficulty dispatching of the angry mob. Making sure to hold back and simply render them immobile.
"Here I thought old grannies fighting over TVs during black Friday was scary, but this is a close second…"
After restraining more of the brainwashed citizens, Spidey continued to follow the trail of burnt footprints.
Spidey nearly tripped when he saw that the footprints lead inside the school.
"Oh no…", he muttered, Spidey sprinted inside, he didn't have to travel far after hearing a blood curdling shriek.
"That sounded like Murayama…", Spidey began crawling on the walls and peered into the class room where the scream came from. Two students ran out, not noticing the web head.
Inside one of the brainwashed was preparing to smash Murayama with a desk. Fortunately for her the desk was yanked out of its hands by webbing. Shortly after the brainwashed citizen was webbed to the wall.
Murayama looked around to see what exactly had just happened, letting out a small yelp when Spidey hung down in front of her.
"You okay? Still got all your parts?"
"S-Spider-man?", she squeaked, with tears streaming down her face
Just then Murayama wrapped her arms around Spidey sobbing uncontrollably. However, because the wall crawler was still upside down her breasts were suffocating the web head.
"Oh thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!", she cried
"MMFFFMMMMMFFFF!"
"Oh sorry!", she quickly released her savior
After a few gulps of air, Spidey continued. "Agh…ugh…Where's Kata- err your friend?"
"I-I don't know…those people just came in here and started throwing things around and hurting the students…we got separated and…their eyes…What's wrong with them?"
"I don't know but I'm gonna find out, did you see one that was glowing? Like…completely covered in light?"
"N-No I don't think so…"
"Hmm alright you should run I don't think I need to remind you but it isn't safe here.", as Spidey dropped down to leave, Murayama quickly grabbed Spidey's arm
"W-Wait!...Please…please find my friend Katase…please…make sure she's safe okay?"
"I will…now run!", Murayama steeled her nerves and began running from where Spidey came from, forever in his debt…if only she knew.
Continuing his pursuit, Spidey heard yet another scream. Running into the gymnasium, he found Katase completely surrounded by a mob of angry brainwashed civilians. Suddenly Katase was pulled upwards, on her way up she saw a red and blue blur drop down and deal with the mob.
She watched as Spiderman himself dealt with the civilians, making sure not to harm any of them. Moving with such grace and precision Katase was mesmerized by the webslingers speed and agility.
Before she knew it, Spidey was right next to her hanging from the ceiling, "You look comfy…"
"S-Spiderman! When did you-"
"Listen did you happen to see a red glowing guy pass through here? Kinda evil looking, burned the floor as he walked…maybe a moustache?"
"Um…no I didn't sorry…"
"Darn, alright whaddya say we get down from here?"
"Down!? But-"
Before she could respond, Spidey carried Katase bridal style and dropped down the floor. Katase couldn't scream as the butterflies in her stomach flared at her sudden and rapid descent. In a blink she was already on the floor.
"You okay?"
"Huh! Oh um y-yes.."
"Neat you should meet up with the other students evacuating on the south side of the school, your friend Murayama should be waiting for you."
"She's safe?", she said in relief
"The safest...now get going"
"Wait! Is…Is there some way I can thank you…"Katase's cheeks began to darken
"You wanna thank me? Hmmm…you and your friend should be nicer to that Parker kid."
"P-Parker!? Peter Parker!?" Katase's words echoed in the gymnasium, Spidey was long gone.
"Where is this guy, you'd think a guy who was glowing red wouldn't be hard to find but-", Peter's spider sense flared up again. Spidey quickly dove out of the way as Li dropped down on his former position cracking and breaking the asphalt beneath him.
"SSSSPIIIDRRRMAAAAANNNN!", Li roared
"Oh great…another fan. So what's your story? You a failed experiment, an alien, a demon…an interdimensional-", Li had launched a wave of energy, luckily Spidey was able to clear the jump and evade. "You know now that I look at you, I don't think a moustache would fit…"
Continuing to evade Li's attacks, Spidey waited for an opening. "Maybe a top hat? Or some kind of monocle?" After dodging the last attack, Spidey dropped Infront of Li, "…or better yet, how about a neck brace!", Spidey balled up his fist and socked Li across the jaw.
What happened next however sent chills down Peter's spine. Spidey wasn't sure if he used to much strength or what but…Li's jaw had flown off; a wet cracking sound was heard as it was torn off his face.
Li was unperturbed, now angrier than anything. He glared at Spidey as the wallcrawler stared in shock. Li balled his fist and launched a punch of his own. Spidey was able to snap out of it before being hit and braced himself.
Shielding himself with his arms, Spidey was launched into the air. Unable to set up a landing Spidey crashed into the ground with a loud thud.
"What…are you?", Peter mumbled to himself. Worried that he had horribly mutilated someone, Spidey stood up and waited for the glowing man to scream in agony, but he never did. He stomped toward Spidey, glaring at the web head the entire time.
But Spidey noticed something, this guy, whoever he was, was incredibly strong but he was slow…
Snapping out of his disbelief Spidey got his head back in the game, "Okay…okay I don't know who or what you are, but I'm gonna half to put you down…preferably in one piece…"
Li smashed both of his fists into the ground, launching a similar attack to the one that killed Dohnaseek. Spidey prepared a barrier, causing the attack to crash into it. Spidey stumbled backwards. The attack was strong enough to destroy his barrier, but it protected him.
"He's dangerous at close range and long range…think Pete think…"
Meanwhile in another part of the school…
Asia was wandering the halls; the school had been plunged into completed disarray. Students running past her some were doubled over because of any blunt force trauma they had suffered. Asia knew that healing them would mean exposing herself and her powers…but they needed help. Healing those that needed it Asia continued to search the halls for wounded students, also hoping to run into Issei or Peter.
Just then Asia felt a chilling presence behind her. Turning her head slowly to see what it was, she was horrified to see a pair of red glowing eyes staring right at her.
Asia let out a squeal and backed up as much as she could only to be impeded by the wall behind her. The brainwashed victim walked toward her, ready to mangle her with his own two hands. Suddenly a chair came crashing over the victim's head causing him to collapse to the ground.
Asia was frightened by the sudden attack, however she wondered where the chair came fro-
"Hey…are you okay?"
Asia looked over to see Flash Thompson himself breathing heavily, a visible look of nausea and fear on his face.
"Um…yes thank you" she said
"Yea no problem uh…we should find a way out of here…um what's your name?"
"Oh my apologies, I'm Asia Argento…", Asia gave Flash a small bow as she introduced herself. "…and you are?"
"Uh…Flash, Flash Thompson…"
"What an interesting name! I don't believe we've met Flash!", despite the fact that the school was under attack, Flash was able to feel a little at ease thanks to the short former nun.
"Y-Yeah…um…my name isn't actually Flash. Its Eugene…Flash is a nickname. You can laugh if you want…", Flash looked around for another weapon, who knows when another one of the red eyed freaks would show up.
"Why would I laugh?"
"Huh?"
"I think Eugene is a lovely name~" Asia smiled, shooting an arrow right through Flash's heart.
"Oh uh…well *ahem* w-we should keep moving. If we stick around more of those weirdos might show up."
"Oh! You're right but…"
"What is it?", Flash wondered, what was more important than getting the hell out of here?
"There may be other students who need help…I…I want to make sure that they're all safe first!", Asia stared at Flash with a fire in her eyes, it was evident that she wouldn't take no for an answer…
"*sigh* Christ…"
"Ow!", Asia flinched
"What? What is it?"
"N-Nothing heh heh…", Flash weighed his options, he wanted to get out of this school more than anything…but he couldn't just leave Asia all alone.
"Fine! But...s-stay close to me alright?", Flash blushed a bit
"Right!"
"When the hell did I get so soft…", Flash mumbled to himself.
Spidey was thrown into a vending machine causing a variety of snacks to fall on top of him.
"Ugh…great, now my suits gonna smell like cheese puffs and monster. I can't exactly take this thing to the cleaners ya know!", Spidey shouted at Li
Li prepared another attack the humming sound whirred to life once more, getting louder and louder as Li charged his attack.
Li would rather beat the web head with his own two hands, he continued his march towards him. The pavement below him continued to melt with each step, however all of the skin on the bottom of his feet had been completely seared off.
Noticing an intact can by his hand, Spidey threw the can under Lis foot nearly tripping him in the process. However, his little fumble was enough for Peter to completely cover Li in webbing.
Once Peter had finished his cocoon, Li fell over unable to stop his fall.
"Now lay there and think about what you've done! Now then…", seemingly having defeated the glowing red anomaly, Spidey was about to move on to saving the students, just as he was about to leave, he heard the humming again. The same humming that resonate whenever he would activate his magic abilities.
Spidey looked at his hands to make sure he didn't accidentally conjure any magic; only then did he turn around to see Li glowing even brighter and just about to burst.
"Oh no…", Li had released a burst of demonic energy, fortunately it wasn't enough to destroy the school. Spidey was still caught in the blast, covered in rubble and completely disoriented; Spidey tried to pick himself up but Li was already looking down at him.
Fearing what was coming next, Spidey braced himself. Li lifted his foot ready to stomp Spidey into the ground. Spidey saw Li's cheekbones rise, if he still had his lower jaw, he'd probably be smiling.
Li was suddenly pelted with a flurry of water bullets causing him to stumble over. As he tried to rise, the equivalent of 30 fire hoses had opened fire on him and launched him away.
"Honestly….", Spidey's savior said, "…you can be pretty reckless sometimes…"
"S-Sona!?"
"Stay focused, our friend isn't done yet.", Spidey quickly freed himself from the debris an rubble he was buried under.
"So you have any ideas? Cause I'm tapped out"
"…I might have something but…"
"But?"
"Its something I've been working on, I guess now is as good a time as any to test it out…" Sona conjured her magic circle and took a deep breath. She wasn't entirely sure this would work, but a field test never hurt right?
Li had risen to his feet; due to his rapidly decaying body it took him a while. Regardless he was even angrier than before. He yelled at the two teens but all that came was a mixture of grunts and gurgling.
"What…happened to his jaw?", Sona asked
"Punched it off…"
"You what?!", she cried
"It's not like I meant to! I held back like I always do but it just…came off…look its right over there see?", Spidey pointed over to Li's melting jaw bone
"Ugh…enough, I need to concentrate…", Sona closed her eyes once again whatever she was up to it was clearly taking a huge amount of effort. Before long Peter had witnessed something spectacular, being a part of the Sitri household, Sona was adept in using water magic and use water magic she did.
Right before his very eyes, Peter had witnessed Sona conjure a massive lion out of water. The beast was massive, much bigger than any real lion. The lion turned to look at Spidey for moment causing a chill to shoot up the wall crawlers' spine. Ignoring the spandex wearer, the lion set its sights on Li.
In an instance the Lion pounced on Li unleashing a deafening roar in the process. Li had no time to evade and was caught in the aquatic lions gaping maw. Lion had thrashed Li about, treating him like a chew toy. In a graphic turn of events Li's lower half had been torn off causing the lion to lose its grip.
Peter and Sona watched in horror as the man had seemingly been killed…yet he was still very much alive.
LI, who could only move around by using his arms to drag himself forward, was crawling towards Spidey.
"What…is he?", mumbled Sona, collapsing to her knees, the heiress was spent due to the amount of magic the aquatic lion cost her. The aquatic lion simply evaporated as if it was never there.
Staring at Li slowly making his way to him, Spidey snapped out of it and hurried over to Sona. "Sona! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine…just a little tired. We still have him to worry about…"
Li had stopped crawling, sitting there motionless, his gazed still fixed on the two high schoolers. The fight was coming to a close, Li would make sure of it. Li began glowing once more and the humming was getting louder with each passing second. Red crackles and pops of energy flared from Li's body. He was at a point where he was too bright to look at.
Not only that but the temperature around him was rising, incredibly fast. Everything around Li was being warped into unfamiliar shapes due to the heat he was giving off.
"He's gonna blow…", mumbled Sona
"He's gonna what!?", Peter shouted over the humming of Li's final attack
"Peter, we need to leave! Now!", Spidey looked at Sona the sheer terror on her face was apparent, putting two and two together Spidey figured that Li was probably gonna take himself out and bring as many people as he can with him. An Attack that was originally meant for Osborn, Li hoped that the explosion would take him out to, exce3pt that would involve nuking a quarter of Kuoh city. Li didn't care, Li wasn't even himself anymore he was…something else entirely.
Most of his flesh had melted off at this point, his eyes had melted in their sockets and began to leak out through the bottom of his skull. Li was pretty much dead at this point but he figured he leave behind a parting gift.
"P-Peter?!", Spidey had grabbed Sona by the waist, both of them ready to make a grand escape. Before the two thwipped away however, Spidey turned around to look at Li, shielding his eyes while doing so.
"Peter what're you waiting for we need to leave now!"
"…"
"PETER!"
"I have to stop him…"
"What!? Don't be ridiculous there's nothing you or I can do to stop this!"
"No…there is one thing…", turning away from Li to fire a strand of webbing at a nearby building, Spidey hung on to it and passed the strand to Sona. "…Could you hold this real quick?"
"Why wou-", Sona was yanked to safety before she could finish, Peter was certain he heard Sona say a few choice words as she got farther and farther away.
Knowing that Sona was a far enough away, Spidey sprinted over to Li, it felt like he was running towards the sun itself. He remained determined to see this to the end though; Spidey finally reached Li, seemingly melting through the pavement below him.
"Oh man this is gonna suck…", Spiderman took a deep breath and grabbed Li by his bony shoulders. An audible sizzle making its way to Peters ears, as touching Li felt like dipping your hands in magma.
Gritting his teeth and ignoring the immense burning sensation in his palms, Spidey focused. He had managed to absorb magic energy countless times, and devil's lotus was just magic energy in its rawest form, right? This may be his dumbest plan yet, but he had to try.
Forcing his body to listen to him and ignoring the instincts shouting at him to let go of Li, Peter began absorbing the energy inside Li's body.
Spidey had no idea of knowing if it was working or not, but something was happening. Li's glow began to dim and the temperature was decreasing, even if just a little.
The hum lowering in volume, and the sparks of energy coming from Li fading. It was working, as Spidey began to feel relieved, Li's arm shot out, and gripped Spidey's throat.
"Ack! Why…is it always…the throat!", Spidey couldn't let go of Li, if he did who knows what he'd do next.
For a man whose arm had only bits and pieces of flesh still on it, Spidey was having a hard time breathing. Eventually, it caught up to him, oxygen wasn't reaching his brain, and that made saving the day kind of difficult.
Spidey stared into Li's hollow sockets, if he still had his eyes, he'd be staring back. However, Spidey swore he saw a dim red light in the far back of those dark hollow eyes. Something that would have nightmares of for a few days after this.
"Why...why are you…doing this…I…don't even know…who you are…" Spidey struggled to say. With no eyes and no lower jaw, Peter had no idea who this man was or what he was even thinking.
Just as he was about to pass out…it all stopped. Spidey had absorbed the last of Li's energy, and Li's arm had crumbled to dust. Crawling away from Li, sputtering and choking. Spidey looked up expecting to see Li charging him.
But there he sat, motionless, all color on his body now replaced with a dark grey. Spidey kept staring expecting him to move…but he never did. His corpse shifted as more of his body began to crumble and collapse.
Eventually, Li was nothing but a pile of dust. All traces of the man he once was, now completely erased. The battleground was quiet, a disturbing kind of silence had washed over the scene. Before Peter realized, he couldn't breathe again, not only that…he felt something rising in his throat.
Peter pulled his mask off and emptied his guts right there on the ground, hoping that no one had seen him. Sweat dripped down his face and mixed with the bile he just puked out. Scooting away from his puddle of abstract art.
He sat there, he still felt a little woozy and his head was killing him, did he over do it? Not only that, but something else crossed his mind…did he…kill someone?
Before his thoughts could get any darker, he heard a voice. It was Sona…
Running through the now fading smoke, She continued to shout Peters name.
"Peter!", she shouted finding the teen hero, "…are you okay!? What happened to you?! Where's…"
She trailed off once she saw the remains of their opponent. "Is…that him?"
"What's left of him…", Peter replied
As Sona knelt down to aid Peter, she burned her hand upon touching him.
"W-What's wrong?", he wondered
"Your…your scolding hot…"
"I'm flattered but-"
"No! I mean…you're literally burning up!"
"…"
"Peter? What did you do…", Sona demanded
"Well…I didn't really have a choice so I just…absorbed his energy."
"You did what!?"
"It all turned out alright, didn't it? I mean some of the school got destroyed but not entirely…heh"
"Why would you do something so reckless?"
"Well its me we're talking about…", Sona was not in the mood for jokes, Peter stared for a bit waiting for her glare to break. But not even Peter was a match for the student council president's ice cold stare.
"Something could have happened to you, something terrible. You not only refuse to get to safety, but instead run towards it. You have no sense of self preservation and at times can be very frustrating. You run into things blindly with an irresponsible amount of optimism. Why…"
"Sona I-"
"Why do you always throw yourself head first into danger!? Why do insist on doing things alone…why…why are you…such…such a…"
"Sona…"
"AN IDIOT!", Sona shouted. Peter processed her words, she had a lot of valid points, but it was do or die. He couldn't really think of anything else, plus Li himself was literally volatile. He may have just been a dying husk, but he was a dying husk with a somewhat functioning brain. Theres no telling what else he would've tried to pull.
Of course, Peter knew better than to talk back to Sona right now.
"…You promised…" she spoke up
"Huh?"
"You promised…to be my taste tester…", Sona finally looked up at Peter, still wearing an angry expression on her face…and yet…there were tears in her eyes. "If you got hurt…you wouldn't be able to try my deserts…"
"…Sona…I'm sorry I made you worry…but I mean it when I say I didn't have a lot of options. I was just thinking on my feet like I usually do, I don't mean to put myself in danger but…if it means losing my life to save millions of other lives…then I'll do it. I know that probably sounds selfish but…"
"Honestly…", she said wiping away her tears
"Huh?"
"That is both your best and worst quality Peter Parker…" Sona said in a stern tone
"But-"
"Why is it that you think you have to hold the entire weight of the world on your shoulders…"
"I…", Sona stood up and outstretched her hand to Peter
"When you have friends, who are more than willing to help lighten the load…", Peter was taken aback her words taking root in his heart. He gazed into Sona's eyes, a gentle wind blowing past her dark locks showing off her perfectly symmetrical features. A shame that her looks were being obscured by those glasses…no, the glasses added to her beauty, did she always look this pretty?
"What? Are you going to sit there forever?"
"Huh? I oh uh sorry…", Peter accepted her hand, without burning her this time, and stood up on shaky legs, Sona offered to help steady himself but he denied.
"Hello? Is anyone out there?", they both heard a voice call out, squinting through the smoke, Peter recognized the uniform. It was Kuoh's fire department. Flashlights scanning the area and firefighters looking through rubble to see if anyone needed help.
Despite being a super hero, it was a little comforting to see them show up.
"Guess I'd better get going…" Peter said putting his mask on
"Are you sure you're, okay?", she asked
"I'm fine, after a snickers bar and a nap ill be good as new."
Sona chuckled," Very well…Peter?"
"Yeah?", Peter waited for her to speak, it looked like she really wanted to say something but she only got pensive and started fidgeting with her hands.
"N-Never mind, it nothing."
"Are you sure?"
"Y-Yes don't worry about it."
"Well…alright then. See you in a bit.", with that, Spidey swung away leaving the firefighters to wrap up.
"Miss Sitri!", Sona heard someone call out, she whipped her head around to see, Asia and Flash no less.
"Prez? What the heck are you doing way over here?", asked Flash
"I…I was searching for other students who may need help."
"By yourself?" said Flash in a surprised tone, "How very noble of you, Pres."
"What about you two, what are you two doing way over here…"
"We were looking for students as well.", added Asia
"We were wandering the halls and we came across those freaks. You know the ones, they had like red eyes, it was weird! All of a sudden though they, just dropped to the floor. Like…they just all passed out…or something.", explained Flash
Sona probably figured that the glowing man that had attacked the school was probably behind that as well. As soon as he was defeated, his grip on the victims was released. Still, Sona couldn't figure out why he attacked the school. Was it premeditated, or was it just a violent outburst from a crazed lunatic.
"Prez you should've seen Asia it was like magic! I don't know how but she has some sort of healing touch and she was…", continued Flash
"How very fascinating…" using her magic, Sona put Flash into deep sleep, along with wiping his memory of any magic he had seen that day. It was for his own good…"
"Will he be, okay?", asked Asia with concern.
Sona glanced at Flashes limp body; he was face down with his butt sticking out. "…He'll be fine…"
Sona waved at the Fire fighters heading in their direction and were promptly found and rescued.
Some time later...
The students had all gathered at the front of the school, some were wondering if they would be allowed to go home anytime soon, others wondering if this was some kind of drill. Friends texting other friends to find out where they were, students calling or receiving calls from parents to see if they were okay.
Shortly after, Sona, Asia and Flash were reunited with the other students.
Flash had awoken from his slumber and was laying on a stretcher. "Try not to move around too much son you were out cold.", said one of the paramedics.
"Wha…where am I?"
"Oh thank goodness, you're alright!", cheered Asia
"Are you awake now Mr. Thompson?"
"Wha…Pres? Asia? When did…how did we-"
"Just lie down son, he looks stable enough, would you two ladies mind watching him? I need to go check on a few other students."
"We don't mind.", responded Sona
All students were present and accounted for, except for one Peter Benjamin Parker.
"Has anyone seen Peter Parker?", one of the officers said over the mega phone
The crowd of students looked around and wondered where he could be, while others had no idea who the officer was talking about.
"Woah Puny Parkers missing?"
"Which one was he again?"
"Was he the one with the glasses?"
"Rest in peace Puny Parker"
"I think that's the guy whose uncle died a while back."
"I thought it was his aunt that died…"
"I think he's friends with Issei"
"I hope he's okay"
"I remember talking to him one time, he was alright."
"He's probably worm food by now…"
"Watch your mouth!", Harry growled, silencing majority of the students. "They haven't found a body, so there's still a chance that he's alive!", Harry knew Peter would be fine…he'd be fine…any second now there gonna find him and bring him back here…right?
Meanwhile on the other side of the enormous crowd of students, were issei and the rest of the ORC, along with the student council.
"They haven't found Peter?", Koneko worried
"Knowing him he probably went to go 'handle things' ", Rias emphasized those last words.
"I hope he's alright, he can be a little reckless sometimes.", added Saji
"Its Petey you guys of course he's okay! Right Tsubasa?"
"I agree, Peter is no stranger to danger. I'm sure they'll find him soon enough."
"Issei are you alright? You've been awfully quiet.", asked Akeno
"Uh yeah…I'm fine, Pete's gonna comeback to us any second now just you watch."
Rias caught the worry in his voice, it was faint, but it was there. She figured that Issei must be the most concerned one here. Wanting to comfort Rias wanted to place a hand on his shoulder.
Except Akeno had beat her to it, as a matter of fact, she had one upped Rias by wrapping her arms around him and pressing her breasts up against his back.
"A-Akeno?", said Issei
"Don't worry Issei~ Like you said, Peter will be here any moment, so until then I'll hold you tight~"
"A-Akeno! W-were at school! You can't do things like that here!", Rias stomped her foot
"Whatever do you mean Rias? I'm simply comforting Issei in his time of need, is that so wrong?"
"I was going to comfort Issei!"
"G-Girls its okay, r-really! But…if you could hold me tighter that'd be nice heh heh"
"Of course~"
Koneko facepalmed at Rias and Akeno bickering over who would be better suited to 'comfort' Issei. Not long after, Peter was 'found' under some rubble by one of the Firefighters. Playing up the part, Peter had covered him self in dirt and tore his clothes in a few places. Not enough to look like he had survived an explosion, but just enough to not raise any eyebrows.
Eventually everyone gathered around Peter…
"Where were you…", pouted Koneko
"Pete! What happened after we split up?"
Peter made eye contact with Sona, the two of them nodding after a moment.
"Ill tell you guys later, right now…I'm exhausted."
Just then a voice, rang out from behind them. It was Harry, on his way to see how Peter was doing.
"Peter, you're okay!"
"Harry?"
Pushing past the ORC and the student council, Harry ran up to Peter confirming for himself that his buddy was alright. "Are you hurt anywhere? Did you hit your head? What happened to your clothes?"
"I'm fine Harry…um…everyone, this is Harry Osborn."
The group all had to restraint themselves from shouting in surprise. So, this was the son of the infamous Norman Osborn. The man that had been behind all of this from the very beginning. In a way they were so close, yet so far. Harry resembled his father a bit, but the two couldn't be more different, Norman carried himself well, like a man who knew what you were thinking all the time. His eyes sharp and his shoulders wide. Not to mention he was incredibly smart.
Harry had more of a boyish charm to him, not as intimidating and a bit shy. Much more approachable than his father. The group took in his appearance and made a note to remember his face. Harry was harmless but it wouldn't hurt to keep tabs on him when this was all over.
"Oh I'm really sorry. I pushed right past you all without introducing myself. Like Peter just said, my name is Harry Osborn, and before you ask, Norman Osborn is my father. Regardless it's a pleasure to meet you all."
Rias was the first to speak up, "Well…it's a pleasure to meet you too harry, I get the feeling we'll be seeing each other quite often."
"Indeed…", added Sona
"Oh, you must be Issei!", Issei was surprised to see that Harry already knew about him.
"Peters told me all about you. Though I wish we could've met under better circumstances."
"Y-Yeah same here…", Issei nervously accepted his hand
Peter heard another person call out his name, this time much more frantic and manic. Along with two other voices shouting for Issei.
May had barreled through a group of students, finally finding her nephew.
"Peter! Oh thank god!"
"OW!", the ORC and Student council winced in unison.
May practically tackled Peter, almost falling over as he stood up. "May I'm fine! Really you don't have to squeeze me…so hard!"
"Oh goodness, Peter if something happened to you I don't know what I'd do…let me look at your face. Oh your covered in dirt…here…", May licked her thumb and began cleaning Peters face to the best of her ability.
"M-May! Come on! People are watching!"
"I don't care! What kind of aunt would I be if I wasn't worried!"
Issei's parents had arrived as well to check on their son, along with Asia and Rias. All in all, nothing else that was noteworthy happened for the rest of the day. The students were all sent home for the day, and the firefighters were able to find and evacuate the civilians from the school…where they were then promptly arrested.
The school would be closed for a while as it under went repairs. A week after the incident, Peter got a knock at the door.
"Harry? What are you doing here?"
"Peter! Its good to see you! Say I was wondering if you like to come over to my place. Its been a while since we've hung out, oh, we could even invite Issei!"
Peter looked over Harry's shoulder to see Bernard waiting by the car. Tipping his hat to Peter when he noticed him.
"Uh…sure…" said Peter
It was Issei's first time, seeing the inside of Osborn the building, it was safe to say he was mesmerized.
"Woah this place is seriously cool, hey Pete did you see the receptionist? She was a real beauty, and those brea-"
"Down boy, we're in someone else house right now. I think you should keep those comments to yourself until we leave and another thing…", Peter cupped his hand over Issei's ear, "…this may be our chance to finally get the last piece of evidence we need against Osborn."
"Y-Yeah you're right. You have any ideas?"
"We'll come up with something, for now just play it cool."
"…"
"What is it?", wondered Peter
"It's just…I feel kind of bad about using Harry like this…"
"…Me too, but I doubt we'll get a chance like this again…we just…have to hope for the best…"
Neither of them felt comforted by those words, but what else could they do?
"Hey what are you guys whispering about over there?", Harry said with a smile
"Oh uh…Peter thinks the receptionist is cute…"
"HUH!? Wait I didn't…"
"Peter, you dog you. If you'd like I can get you her number."
"N-No that won't be necessary heh heh…"
"He said she has a nice raAGH!", Harry didn't notice the swift elbow Peter had delivered to Issei's gut.
"How about we just head up to your room Harry. Issei's feeling a little sick it seems.", Peter said with a smile
"Oh no will he be alright?"
"Yea its probably just something he ate, he'll be fine."
As the three boys made their way into the elevator, the cab took them all the way up to Harrys room. Unsurprisingly enough, the entire floor was his.
"Woah this whole floor is your room?!", said Issei
"Yeah, the floor above is my father's penthouse."
"N-Norman is here right now?", asked Peter
"I'm not sure, he's always coming and going. Recently he brought in some strange looking artifacts. I only caught a glimpse of them but they looked like swords."
Swords huh, Peter would make a note of that, for now he had to figure out if there was any way to find some dirt on Norman.
"Pete he's got third strike!", shouted Issei from the other room
"HE DOES!?", shouted Peter in return, completely abandoning the mission.
"Oh you two play street fighter?" asked Harry
Some time passed as the boys enjoyed themselves, playing third strike on Harry's tv. The screen taking up most of the wall it was mounted on.
After a while things calmed down and the boys were lounging about. Talking about whatever popped into their heads.
"Hey Harry you okay?", asked Peter
Oh yeah I'm fine…its just, this is nice…", Issei and Peter looked at each other,"…I don't really know a lot of people my age, so its nice to just kickback and hang out with friends. I get a lot of attention from the girls at school. Id be lying if I said it didn't feel nice, but…it isn't genuine.", Harry paused for a moment…
"…I guess what I'm trying to say is…thanks for coming over. Since the schools been closed, I haven't had much to do and I was dying of boredom."
"Why don't you hang out with your dad?", asked Issei
"…My father and I don't really get along, I'm pretty sure he forgets he has a son half the time…"
"Harry…"
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to bring down the mood. In any case I really do appreciate you two coming over today…you know what why don't I show you guys the lab! I know you're really into that kind of stuff Peter, it'd probably be like heaven for you heh…"
"Um won you get in trouble for doing something like that Harry?"
"It should be fine; I have clearance to go down there so it shouldn't be any trouble…"
Issei and Peter shared another look, this was too good to pass up, so why did it feel so wrong?
"Well…if its alright with you…", Peter said hesitantly
"Of course, come on!"
The boys entered the elevator once more, Harry had brandished an important look key and entered into one of the slots on the control panel of the cab. The elevator sunk into the depths of the building, both Peter and Issei felt a sense of Déjà vu. Finally, the elevator let out a ding, and cab doors opened.
It was noticeably darker on this floor there were only a few lights illuminating the hallway. It was just like Kuroka had told him; though most of it had been cleaned up, there were still traces that a battle had occurred here. There were faint scratches on the walls and some sections were blocked off by caution tape.
"I rarely come down here, but it's a nice quiet place to just roam around and think to yourself. Most of the scientists don't mind me coming through here as long as I keep it down. There was a guy they brought in to do some minor tests on, I think his name was Aleksei…Sytsevich? I think he may be Russian."
The three teens continued through the halls, eventually coming across one of the nullifiers behind a glass wall with a few scientists in hazmat gear performing experiments on it.
"Hey Harry…what's this thing…", Peter said not taking his eyes of the scene in front of him.
"Oh that? My father and his assistant came up with that thing a few months ago. I think he brought someone else in just to make it. He just goes by Valper, he's kind of a creep if you ask me."
"What uh…what does it do?", asked Issei, both he and Peter knew exactly what it did but asking Harry might bring some new insight however.
"No clue…its really important whatever it is. I think I heard my dad say they were going to mass produce them-"
"THEYRE GONNA WHAT!?", Issei and Peter shouted in unison
"Uh…yea, what's wrong?"
"N-Nothing…congratulations on…that…", said Peter trying to hide his shock
Just then, both Peter and Issei froze. He was standing behind Harry; they don't know when or how he got there but Norman Osborn had appeared…and he seemed…taller.
"Wha…dad? When did you…"
"What are you doing down here…", he hissed
"I-I was just showing my friends around-"
"I thought I told you the lab was off limits until further notice…"
"I figured you-"
"Did I or did I not say that…"
"Y-You did I'm sor-"
"Leave…", he demanded
"But we-"
Norman didn't wait for Harry to finish; he had delivered a swift backhand to the redhead's cheek causing him to fall over.
"Harry!", Peter exclaimed running to his aid.
Issei clenched his fist and glared daggers at Norman, "How…How could you! He's your son!"
"Unfortunately, yes, he is, and like all parents I am simply disciplining him…"
"You call that discipline?! You could've given him a concussion!", Issei stomped right over to Norman and looked him in the eye. Norman was much taller, and quite intimidating. Despite this Issei didn't falter, Osborn glared and he glared right back.
"Apologize…", Issei growled
"Are you threatening me in my own home?", Norman took his hands out of his pockets.
Peter could see what was about to happen, the air around the two becoming visibly distorted.
"Issei…it's okay…", said Harry, Issei looked over to Harry, a bruise now apparent on his cheek. Please, lets just go back up to my room and play some more street fighter okay? My dad's right, it's my fault, we came down here when we weren't supposed to. So dad, I'm…sorry…"
Norman never looked at Harry, the whole time keeping his eyes fixed on Issei, "What's your name boy?"
"…Issei…"
"…Hmm, a fitting name…", Norman smiled, "…a pleasure to meet you Issei…". Norman outstretched his hand to Issei. Issei had no intention of shaking his hand however.
After a moment Norman smiled even more, and in an instant shot his other hand towards Issei's wrist. Norman gripped Issei's wrist with such ferocity, he couldn't shake it free.
"Erk!...", Issei grunted, he was using everything he had to free himself, despite being part devil, Normans grip never broke. If anything, it got even tighter.
Norman grabbed Isseis hand with the one he had offered him. Forcing the brunette to shake his hand, Norman opened his mouth.
"You've got a strong grip there boy…"
"How…How did you…", Issei said still attempting to free his hand.
"If you're ever in need of employment, don't hesitate to call. Simply ask for me and Ill see to it that you're hired on the spot.", Norman turned around and adjusted his tie, "…You could learn a thing or two from your friend Harry, now get out of my sight."
With that Norman, walked away. His clicking of his footsteps echoing throughout the halls.
Sometime later…
"Sorry you guys had to see that…", Harry had an Icepack pressed against his face, the bruise now a lot darker in color.
"Harry, are you sure you're gonna be okay? I mean…does your dad do that often?"
"It was entirely my fault, I shouldn't have gone done there when he told me not to."
"That isn't what I asked you…"
Harry remained silent, Peter and Issei knew that Norman had a habit for completely disregarding his son, but this was on an entirely different level.
"Hey uh…sorry but, I think I wanna be alone right now…", muttered Harry
"Are you sure?", asked Issei
"Yeah…don't think it's because of you guys but…there are just some things I have to think about right now and I'm not really in any shape to play host."
'Yea sure, whatever you need…"
"If you need anything just give us a call, alright?", said Issei
The three boys exchanged numbers and were on there way. Issei and Peter stood in the elevator in silence for a few moments.
"What a day…", Issei had broken the silence, stretching his arms in the process, "…I didn't know Harry had it this bad…"
"Yeah…"
"*sigh* we didn't even get anything out of it either, well...we did play some third strike…"
"I wouldn't go that far…", Peter had brandished the key that Harry had used to access the floor the laboratory was on.
"Alright Pete! Who knew you were such a pickpocket!...What's wrong?", Issei had noticed that Peter wasn't as enthusiastic as he was. The literal key to their problems was in their hands what's not to gloat about?
"Are we really doing the right thing here…"
"What are you talking about? Of course we are! Look Pete, if we take down Norman, think of all the good that come of it. Norman gets thrown in jail, the company is handed over to Harry, and he'll probably use all the resources to make Oscorp better than his dad ever could! Its three birds with one stone!..."
"Then why…why does it feel like everything's going to go wrong? I don't know about you but… there's just something in my gut that's telling me…things won't turn out the way we want them to…"
"Pete…you said it yourself, we'll just have to deal with it…"
"After seeing what we saw today, I feel like we'll hurt Harry even more by doing this…"
"Maybe…but if you were so opposed to the idea, you wouldn't have taken that key, would you?"
"…"
"I know its tough Pete but…you can't save em all remember? I don't want to think about Harry being collateral damage but…there are…bigger things at stake here. Don't think of it as screwing Harry over, think of it as doing what's necessary to put away Norman for good…", Issei himself didn't like the way that sounded but it was the truth. To save anymore angels and devils from being kidnapped, to stop a war from breaking out between the three factions, and to put an end to Norman's corrupt empire, he would have to put aside any thoughts of hesitation…
"I'm gonna go on alone…like I said itll be easier by myself…"
"…I'm just a phone call away…"
"I know…"
The elevator had reached the main lobby, except only Issei had exited the cab. The receptionist noticed this…
"Where's your friend? I thought there were two of you?", she asked
"Oh he went home already, you must've missed him."
"Um no, that isn't possible…"
"Sure it is…"
"No, it isn't…the doors right in front of me, I would've seen him."
"Okay then what kind of shirt was he wearing?"
"A green and white flannel…"
"Incorre-oh…well…"
The receptionist was getting suspicious, Issei noticed her reaching over to call security. That was until he had a plan.
It was time for Issei to put his acting skills to the test once more. He began sniffling and sobbing, "The…the truth is, I was kicked out…"
"Huh?"
"You see I don't have a lot of friends and they invited me over to include me but I guess I wasn't cool enough and they…they told me to get lost…"
"That's…so sad…I think?"
"Do…do you have phone I could use to call my parents to come pick me up? *sniff*"
"Uhh…sure…"
The receptionist pulled out her cellphone and switched to the key pad. She handed the phone to Issei expecting him to make his call…only he didn't…
Issei grabbed the woman's wrist, and used the forbidden technique…
"DRESS BREAK!", and just like that, the woman's clothes were torn to shreds including her undergarments.
"Wha…wha…", the poor woman let out a shriek of embarrassment, using tattered pieces of cloth to shield her body from wandering eyes.
"WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I truly wield the power of a god in my hands! I knew she had a nice body too, HAHAHAHAHAHA!", Issei howled as he ran out of the lobby and into the streets. Hopefully this diversion would prove to be enough for Pete get in and out quickly…it was all up to him now…
Wearing his signature red and blue suit, Spidey stealthily crawled through the halls. Evading the clean up crew and a few scientists, he soon found the room where the nullifier was being held…only it was locked.
Luckily one of the scientists had just exited the room, with the grace of a feather and the footsteps of a mouse, Spidey managed crawl inside before the door closed.
Once inside the nullifier was exactly where he saw it last, suspended in the center of the room. A few cables protruding from it. Scanning the room, he saw a lone terminal in the corner. Spidey rushed over to it and began typing.
Fortunately for him, the terminal hadn't been closed yet. Skimming through a few files he landed on a few that were exactly what he needed. Several variations of the nullifier were in production down here.
From grenades to longer range versions, to nets and suits of armor…even some that were integrated into mechanical arms…interesting indeed. This was it, this is what Peter needed to put Osborn away for good, feeling that he had overstayed his welcome.
Spidey pulled out a USB from his collar and jammed into the terminal, a few minutes later he had got what he wanted.
"All right, time to go…", as soon as Spidey pulled the USB out of the terminal an alarm had gone of and the entire building was on high alert.
"So its you again…", he heard a voice from behind him. Spidey turned around to see Kalawarner and Mittelt waiting for him, light spears in hand.
"Uh…I don't suppose you'd believe me if I said I got lost on my way to the bathroom...heh heh"
The first to attack was Mittelt , dashing towards Spidey with blinding speed. Spidey had been through the ringer, and these two were completely out matched compared to last time.
Blinding Mittelt with his webbing, Spidey shifted himself out of the way of the flailing fallen angel. As Mittelt flew right past him, Kalawarner followed it up, by trying to impale the web head with her spear.
Spidey jumped over her made her flinch by throwing a fake punch. "Here hold this…", spidey tossed a , functioning, web bomb over to Kalawarner who foolishky accepted it.
"Toodles!", said Spidey as he thwipped away, Kalawarner sat there perplexed, wondering what just happened. That was until the web bomb finally exploded.
"I really…really don't like that guy…", she hissed
Shooting out of the vent he found Kuroka next to, the wallcrawler made his great escape.
"Phew! That was a close one, i'd rather not get into a scuffle while carrying cold hard evidence around."
Spidey swung a good distance until he figured he was far enough away from Oscorp. Eventually settling on rooftop miles away from that dark gloomy fortress.
Spidey pulled the USB out and examined it making sure that it wasn't damaged. Letting out a sigh of relief, it was perfectly fine. "With this, maybe things will finally start to calm down around here…even if just a little…"
Just then a huge sword came crashing down on Spidey, avoiding the attack he wondered what on earth had just attacked him.
Landing on another building, Spiderman saw two hooded figures both clad in all white. One wielding a massive sword and the other holding what appears to be a regular katana. The one with the larger weapon charged Spidey and nearly crushed him again.
This would prove to be in vain as the other hooded figure had circled around him. Spidey, using his webbing, had changed his direction and pulled himself away from his two attackers.
That was until, the katan had extended and shot towards Spidey.
"OH that is so not fair!", blocking the attack with his forearms, he felt the blade slice through them. Landing on yet another rooftop, arms now gashed up, he looked up to see the hooded figure with the larger weapon looking down at him.
Her hood had been lifted slightly due to the wind, exposing what appeared to be…a girl? A pretty one at that, hazel eyes and blue hair with a green streak that was blowing along with the wind. She pointed her weapon at Spidey and asked…
"The holy swords hand them over….", she snarled
Spider man couldn't believe his luck, both of his forearms were sliced open, he was freezing his but off, and yet another cutie trying to kill him. "So much for things calming down…"

Hello there, tis been a while hehehehe (sorry)
I have been fighting with this chapter for a while, believe me when I say I wanted to get this out sooner, because I really did. It's just that every time I would get half way in to the chapter, I would read over it and end up hating it.
I must've gone through this process about five or six times before I finally settled on what you're reading now. Along with working on my webcomic, and work in general, it's been a little busy around here. I truly hope it was worth the wait and regardless I appreciate all of you being so patient.
I am grateful for all the feedback and ideas you throw at me, I do read them and I have taken some of them into account. It is very much appreciated…
On another note, how would you all feel about a time skip somewhere down the line with a completely original story. Completely straying off the path of the source material? Not saying ill do it, but I'm also not saying I won't do it...just curious is all
In any case, thank you for reading, don't forget to leave a review, any and all forms of criticism are appreciated
Take care…
