The Invincible Spider-Man

Chapter 9

It was raining heavily at midnight, with the moon shining bright through the heavy rain. A breakout had occurred at Ryker's prison, when The Shocker, Sandman, and Vulture had escaped.

The helicopter landed at Oscorp, where Norman was waiting.

"You filthy rich swine!" Growled Adrian.

"Good to see you too, Toomes. All 3 of you. Head to level 118, aka Special Projects. Dimitri, come here!" Said Norman.

The three headed down as Dimitri approached Norman.

"Yes, Mr Osborn?" Asked Dimitri.

"Spider-Man is going to be hot on our trail, and Kingpin specifically said he cannot interfere. I need you to handle it." Said Norman.

"I have it under control. Spider-Man will be too busy to look into our business." Said Chameleon.

On Level 118, the trio went down and found themselves in front of The Kingpin.

"Gentlemen. Good to see you." Said Fisk.

"Wait, Wilson Fisk is The Kingpin?" Asked Toomes, confused.

"Yes, in fact. And I am in need of your assistance." Continued Fisk.

"And why would we help rich assholes like you?" Asked Flint, rudely.

"Because, I know what you three want the most. Money. If you help me kill Leland Owlsley. I can give you money beyond your wildest dreams." Said Fisk.

"I'm not like these basic numbskulls. I don't want money, I just want to see Norman Osborn pay for his crimes!" Spat out Vulture.

"I am aware of that, Adrian. But imagine what you could do with all of the money I give you. You could improve your tech in ways Oscorp never could. Besides, all of you can settle the score with a common enemy you three have." Explained Fisk.

"Spider-Man." Snickered Shocker.

Peter reached the address. "This is where Dr Octavius said Doctor Connors' lab would be. Fifth floor." Thought Peter, as he entered.

He walked up the stairs and to the fifth floor. The door to Connors' lab was open.

"Hello? Doctor Connors?" Asked Peter.

All of a sudden, a kid sprang up from behind one of the tables.

"Are you looking for daddy?" Asked the kid.

"Billy, there you are!" Said a voice. From another room, came a blonde man in a lab coat. He was wearing huge glasses, and was missing his right arm.

"Doctor Curt Connors?" Asked Peter.

"You must be Peter Parker! Otto has told me a lot about you." Said Curt.

"So, what do you normally do around here?" Asked Peter, his pen and notebook out.

"Well, my wife, Martha, and I work mostly with genetics. But sometimes we mingle in the chemistry side of things. Right now, we are working on limb regeneration using-"

"Using DNA from a lizard, right? Because lizards can regenerate lost limbs. Then again, so can starfish but starfish are aquatic animals, hence a lizard is the better fit." Finished Peter.

"Wow. That's impressive, Peter!" Chuckled Curt, visibly impressed. "Otto wasn't exaggerating when he said you were one of his greatest students." He remarked.

Both of them walked into the other room, where there were tanks of electric eels.

"As you know, eels have bioelectricity. As you know, bioelectricity plays a huge role in limb regeneration, as proven by scientists Ken Robinson and Colin McCaig." Explained Curt.

A man walked up from behind the tanks, holding a wrench and wearing a brown cap, with protective gear on.

"Ah yes! Peter, meet Max Dillon, a fellow scientist who has been working here for the last few years with me." Said Curt.

"Hey doc! Hey Peter, we've been expecting you." Said Max, in a very enthusiastic way as he shook Peter's hand.

All of a sudden, Peter's phone buzzed as he got a notification from the New York News app he had installed.

"Breaking News! Spider-Man was seen earlier today robbing a bank!" Read the news.

Peter was shocked. "Uh, doc. I have to go. Emergency at home!" Blurted out Peter, as he rushed out of the door.

Spider-Man swung to the scene of the crime, and landed on a nearby fire escape.

"Looks like no one was injured or killed. That's good, looks like faux Spider-Man doesn't kill people." Thought Peter, as he jumped and gracefully landed on the sidewalk.

"There he is!"

"Spider-Freak!"

"Jameson was right about you!"

Civilians were screaming. Luckily, Captain George Stacy was on the scene as well. Someone who trusted Spider-Man.

"Captain Stacy! You have to believe me, I didn't do this." Explained Spider-Man.

"I know, son. After flying criminals and ones who can turn into sand, I wouldn't be surprised if we had a shapeshifter on our hands." Said George.

"Well, looks like fake me didn't hurt anyone."

"And witnesses say he didn't even shoot a single web. Speaking of which, I need to talk to you about something. There was a breakout at Ryker's." Said George.

"Lemme guess, Shocker, Sandman and Vulture escaped." Sighed Spider-Man.

"Yeah. We're losing control of this city." Said George.

"One problem at a time. Now you said that the fake Spider-Man didn't shoot a web, right? That means he couldn't copy my web shooters. That's good, so if I do confront him, I could just web him up." Said Spider-Man.

All of a sudden, George's police scanner said: "Spider-Man spotted causing havoc in the Financial District."

"That's my cue! Said Spider-Man, as he swung away."

Spider-Man swung to the scene, but this time he stuck to the rooftops, where civilians couldn't see him.

"This is just great! Fake Spider-Man got away again." Said Peter.

All of a sudden, his Spider-Sense went crazy as he backflipped out of the way of a vibrational shock blast. When Peter turned around, he saw The Shocker standing behind him.

"Oh great, Herman! Great to see you again." Whined Peter.

"Not just me this time, Spider!" Cackled Shocker.

That's when Vulture swooped up from behind Spider-Man, grabbing his suit from the back, flying up and then slamming his face on the rooftop.

"You too, Adrian?" Asked Spider-Man.

Suddenly, a huge wave of sand wiped Spider-Man off of the rooftop, as he fell off and landed on a smaller roof.

"And Marko! Guess that makes 3." Moaned Peter, as he got up.

The three villains stood in front of Peter. "No one to save you now, Spider-Man!" Cackled Sandman.

"No!" Yelled a voice, as Daredevil landed next to him.

"Yes! Let's see you bozos take us down now!" Taunted Spider-Man.

But the villains just smiled, and then laughed loudly.

That's when Daredevil took out both his batons and joined them together, making a staff, and slammed Spider-Man's back with enough force to destroy a wall.

"AAAAAH! WHAT THE HELL?" Yelled Spider-Man.

"Daredevil" walked up to the side of the villains, and took off his mask, revealing his white mask.

"Call me… The Chameleon." Said Chameleon.

"And what should… I call all… four of you? The Jackson Four?" Groaned Spider-Man.

"Call us… The Frightful Four!" Shouted Vulture.

"Oh great, that's worse." Said Spider-Man, as he shot a web at Vulture and pulled him down.

Sandman made a huge hammer out of his arm and whacked him across the roof. While Spider-Man was in mid-air, Shocker blasted a huge vibrational blast, sending Spider-Man flying across the rooftop. Vulture grabbed Spider-Man's back with his talons and slammed him into the wall of a building, then scraped his face at high speed against the road, cracking his lenses and tearing away pieces of his mask.

Vulture flew him up and threw him on another rooftop. With Chameleon.

Spider-Man could barely stand up as Chameleon grabbed him and kneed his chest, before spin kicking him and grabbing Spider-Man's leg, and pulling him to the ground.

"These web shooters will be in handy for my impersonation of you."

"Didn't your mom tell you to keep your hands to yourself?" Asked Spider-Man, as he webbed Chameleon's legs and pulled him down.

Shocker shot a vibrational blast, but Spider-Man tumbled out of the way, causing the blast to hit Vulture.

Sandman came up from behind Spider-Man, but Peter shot a web. Except, his web shooters were missing.

"Hurkk!-" Before Peter could even finish his thought, Sandman punched him away.

Peter managed to get up, but Chameleon somehow had his web shooters. He pulled Spider-Man towards him with a web, and elbowed him in the face. Vulture swooped Peter into a wall, as Shocker blasted a huge vibrational blast, causing Spider-Man to be thrown right through the brick wall and plummeting down to the street below.

Sandman quickly made himself into a palm, and grabbed him before he fell to the ground. But then he made himself into a fist trying to crush Peter, and brought his hand down on the sidewalk.

The four villains came down, as Peter could barely stand up. When he did stand up however, Vulture shot out two metal knives disguised as feathers at Spider-Man. The feathers pinned Spider-Man shoulders to the wall, and then Chameleon webbed him up.

Chameleon then approached a near-unconscious Spider-Man.

"Listen, and listen closely. The Kingpin wants you out of the picture. So I suggest that you look the other way for once." He threatened.

"I'll never… look the other… way again." Said Peter, before falling unconscious.

Spider-Man woke up on a stretcher in an ambulance on a hospital bed, his mask still on. George Stacy was sitting next to him, along with another doctor.

"Wh-what?" Spurted out Peter, his speech slurred.

"Easy son, you've been through a lot today." Said George.

"Mr Spider-Man. My name is Michael Morbius. Don't worry, I haven't taken your mask off." Said the doctor.

"I appreciate the help, Mr Morbius, but I can take care of myself. Captain Stacy, the Frightful Four, as they're calling themselves, are working for The Kingpin. And The Kingpin is Wilson Fisk, who's fighting a gang war with Leland Owlsley, or The Owl who has a clan of ninjas-"

"Slow down, Spider-Man." Interrupted Captain Stacy. "Wilson Fisk is The Kingpin?"

"His influence runs deep, even in the police force. There's no way you can even detain him without any hard evidence." Explained Spider-Man.

"And he's hired these villains to fight a gang war with businessman Leland Owlsley, who also has a clan of ninjas?" Asked George.

"Me and Daredevil found that out." Replied Spider-Man.

"You're working with Daredevil?" Asked George surprised, with a hint of disapproval.

"He saved my life. Anyways, Owl runs an ancient society called The Hand. Kingpin and Owl have been fighting for New York for a long time. Fisk blackmailed Norman Osborn into creating these supervillains." Continued Spider-Man.

"Hold on, Norman Osborn is part of this too? It's all connected." Said George.

"Exactly. With The Frightful Four on his side and Oscorp tech, Fisk can fight The Hand and kill Owlsley." Said Peter.

"This is big. New York is in danger. I assume you and Daredevil are on it?" Asked Spider-Man.

"Yeah we are. I won't let New York be a battleground for a gang war. I won't let innocents be harmed and I will stop Fisk."

"Whatever it takes."
