ROAR!
"Save Me!"
It was a terrifying experience, to say the least, to be grappled by a humongous Gorilla and said Gorilla smashing through a military checkpoint. The Ape kept running on the streets with screaming bystanders on the sidewalk & Egrets blindly firing.
STOMP! STOMP!
Only to be halted by a Mech wielding a sword, and a shield to combat the monstrous ape. The Metal giant fired its missiles towards the ape while lifting its shield to block.
The King of apes jump on the left side to where buildings are located and narrowly dodged the missiles. The monster climbed them, to then traverse towards the MAGNUM, and leaped with a double kick.
The Mech was knocked out from the absolute force, upon climbing on top of the deceased machine, roared in victory!
THWIP!
Both the Gorilla and the blonde maiden were confused from the sound to only look right and spot a Red n' Blue blur doing the same double kick on the ape's face as karma. Letting out a roar, it looked scanned around to find nothing but its destruction from its rampage.
Until he felt something on his nape, smacking the area he checked his hand if he managed to make the assailant a red paste. But he was greeted by Red AND Blue who was quickly throwing hands.
The Spider jumped to only shoot a web to swing around its neck. Landing on the side of the building wall, He yanked the tether with great strength that pulled the monkey's head against the building, which knocked out the ape.
Opening her eyes, The Blonde maiden manages to catch the sight of her savior. It was the Spider-man!
"You okay, miss?" The Mysterious hero asked.
"Just hoarse my voice, and a little tightened, but I'm fine." Replied shyly by the girl
"Good this city shall be saved with my great spider-powers, even the Skullgirl would not stand a chance from my Web of Justice!" pounded his chest proudly.
"Then good sir, as a present. Could I Kiss yo- Whoa!" Upon hearing her question, The spider quickly webbed her upper torso and arms into a mummy, next grabbed her back. Surprising her from his impulse, he lifted his mask to reveal his lips.
"Of course milady." now her gaze is closed, and slowly leaning in to receive the sweet nectar.
It was so close!
Almost There!
Come on!
"MWAH!"
"MASTER FILIA!"
"EEEYAAAAAHH!" Lifting her head to scream in terror!
To her disappointment, she was awoken by a maid that was revealing the curtains with sunlight.
Observing her room, she was in a spacious, pink room. A Master Bed she was on, and a stuffed dog that was imprinted with many lip-shaped salivae. A Mirror on a desk is on another side of the room. The balcony window/door was blocked by the maid that was now staring at her all the while giggling. Herself meanwhile, wore a white nightgown.
"So, who was the Handsome lad you were smooching? Was it Eddie again?"
"None of your business! You're a maid, just do your job, and leave me be!"
"Why so rude Miss Filia? You haven't stepped off, yet you act like you just woken from the wrong side of the bed." the Maid quipped back.
Sighing in defeat, Filia replied, "I had a nightmare."
"Some nightmare you have, so terrified you started kissing your poor toy." The Maid quipped again.
"Ok! It was a dream and Spider-man saved me!" giving a flustered reply.
"Oh my goodness, Filia! You're becoming an unfaithful young woman!" Exclaimed the maid.
"It was Eddie that was behind the mask!" Her cheeks reddening after she stated her pathetic lie, The maid laugh at her predicament & calmed down.
"Breakfast is Croissant and cocoa per-usual, you must prepare later for the Party." The blonde 'princess' stood up and went to sit on a chair in front of her desk mirror. She spots herself having one bad messy morning hair.
"The Party is like, what? At afternoon? Evening? I don't have to worry about hurrying, besides it's just more rich folk wearing masks to pretend they care about things." combing her hair back in pristine condition and making her two iconic Golden Framing Tendrils.
"It's just, you need to start having responsibilities as a growing woman. Smooching boys is not a picture you want to paint yourself in, you need to take mature decisions." worried the Maid.
Grumbling in frustration, she throw her comb inside the drawer & shut them quickly. Not even facing the older woman.
"I'm afraid the woman you're becoming, Filia. I know your parents may have not been there for you always, but they still love and care for you deep down." The older woman waited for an answer to only be greeted with silence.
"I'll be in the dining room, Misses Parker." A simple, unrelated reply was only given, the girl quietly went out of her room.
'Oh Ben, I wonder how could you go through these kids? You make it look too easy.'

In a small bedroom with books neatly stored in a small bookshelf, a desk in front of a window with books and paper scribbled with many writings, there was a bed located on the corner, where the bookshelf is in front of. A snoring half-elf wearing green pajamas and a purple sleep cap, he could be found in a weird position on the bed.
"ZZZZZZ"
The loud noise masked the creaking door that was slowly being revealed to a pale woman in office clothing with black hair ponytail and eyeliner? The woman approached the Snoring ginger, and tap him multiple times on the leg.
"Mmmmm..."
Sighing in frustration, she started moving his leg granted her a murmuring.
"Mmm-Yeah, I'm awake." slowly rising to stretch himself and yawn.
"Breakfast is at the Dining Room. Your father left too early for another meeting."
"Of course. Meetings, Meetings! Always meetings! Meetings at home! Meetings even on Sunday! He practically loves his company than his son at this point! " Staring away to observe a picture frame on his desk that displays a Beautiful freckled face, Pale haired Elf woman carrying a similar freckled baby alongside a young, smiling Norman.
Detecting his solemn attitude the woman immediately comforted the emotionally neglected boy, "I know it must be hard with him not being present through the most of your life, but deep down he still loves you as much he loved your mother. The fact that he still provided for you is big enough evidence."
"I guess so. I just wanted to be me and him spending quality time together for all these years. I'll do anything to make him genuinely smile to me for last time." Standing up to approach the picture and grab it.
"If I was a girl, I would probably make a wish to the Skullheart just make him proud of his child."
"Don't say those kinds of things, you're lucky that you are a boy. At least you can't make irrational decisions, unlike the skulligirls."
"Hmm, You're right. I'll just have to make him proud when I have the chance."
"Good. I'll be brewing you some tea, then."
Upon leaving the room, Harry leaned over the door to check if she was close. After the coast was clear, he quickly kneel under his bed to pull out a Box. Opening said box, revealed many vials of green liquid. Smiling in delight, he took one of them & popped the cork from the glass container.
"Proud, he shall be." Guzzling in one swoop.
Location: Parker household, Time: 8:00 am (Same Time)
Waking up from his great slumber, Peter stretch & yawned while facing the shining window. Quickly getting up in his underwear & undershirt, walked down the stairs and into the Living room to find Carol in her pajamas, eating waffles while watching Annie of the Stars on the T.V.
Walking further, he spotted a stack of waffles besides the syrup & the butter. Taking two pieces on his plate and place the cut of butter over the waffles, before pouring the syrup.
"Mom says that she had to work overtime over at Filia's."
"Yeah, I know." while taking a bite, he was thinking to himself, 'Hmm if I'm gonna stuck as a crime-fighting costumed freak, I'll need to learn some kung fu or martial arts to combine with my web-swinging against more flying freaks like him?'
After cutting off that thought, he grabbed two more waffles and secretly went under the kitchen counter to feed his parasite 'or was it Plural since there are two separate bodies?'
The skin on his wrist opened it reveals a black oval shave creature that opened its mouth sideways & quickly bite down the waffle. Going the same thing for the twin counterpart.
RIIING!
The loud sound annoyingly surprised both teenagers and spotted the noisy telephone on the cabinet, Peter approached and grab the object answer the caller.
"Hello? This is the Parker Residence."
"Peter!" exclaimed a familiar voice.
"Ned? Why are you calling me at this time?"
"Y'know our boss, Jameson? Yeah, He needed a photographer for the upcoming party in Bastet's Den." While hearing a multitude of typing sounds in the background.
"Do I get paid?"
"Yeah, of course, you are. It's gonna be us two, and Jameson at the party; He needs me to print this on the front page while you take pictures for the cover."
"In Sunday?" protest by the Photographer
"Hey, you want the money or not?" the Reporter retorted back to the Photographer.
"Fine, I'll be there." after putting down the phone, he glances at Carol one last time; who was cramming neatly eating some more waffles.
Location: Eliza residence, 12:00 pm
The Residence is lavish and spacious; Egyptian Statues near the wide pool and many Florals are placed on pillars, and palm trees are laid in the middle; Art & Egyptian writing are imprinted on the walls & pillars.
A woman can be seen chilling in the pool, naked with a beer can between her hand, and chug the drink in relaxation. Hearing footsteps, An old man with white hair, and a thick circle beard on his, while wearing a fine white suit came by to visit with a clipboard is being held by his hand.
"Miss Eliza, the Dress you have ordered is complete with the cat mask on the way to delivery."
Hearing his voice, she turns her head around to question the last part, "Mask? I didn't order any mask."
"Well I thought it would fit nicely with the Egyptian-themed dress and that mask would be appropriated for the masquerade party we will be having."
"Darling, what's the point of having a mask if they already know who will sing for them? My gorgeous face is what they all need to see, Roderick."
"But-"
"No Buts. I pay you to make my dress, and you have done an excellent job. Now please leave my house." chugging another beer after.
"I-I'll leave you be, then." retreating in defeat to the doorway, but he encounters an unexpected visitor in a suit who was none other, the CEO of a major corporation.
Roderick's reaction was that of shock then realizes that he should not divulge personal matters with these two Philanthropists and leaves the premises. The Ginger, on the other hand, stared at him uninterestedly & kept walking to approach the tanned woman.
"Eliza! how have you been doing all this time!" Norman Joyfully greeted.
"Hush! Mister Osborn, it wasn't that long! You make me feel old already." laughed the Egyptian.
"Old? Yet, you have a body of a goddess." Osborn flirted.
"Stop it! you don't want the Trinity to hear you say that."
The Tanned diva set aside her beer on the pool ledge to stand up. And revealing her naked curves to the man, both showing flirtatious smiles. The Diva walked over & pointed her finger on the man's chest and slid them down intimately.
Slowly reaching his neck to purr, "So, what's your mask for tonight? Osborn."
"Something naughty."
"Oh you Wild Man!" ending on both kissing intimately. Following with a strong pull from Eliza, forcing Norman to swim with her in his professional suit & tie.
Location: Cirques des Cartes Trailers, 1:00 pm
Rows of trailers can be seen & placed next to each other, but one unassuming trailer is housed to a certain Diamond & Ace girl.
Inside is compact but filled with necessities to provide housing. At the end of the structure is a bunk bed; the top is occupied by the "Ace" girl, who was doing pull-ups; The "Diamond" girl is leaning in the front doorway while reading a newspaper, while her hat beside her is lifting weights.
"248, 249, 250! Whew! What'chu reading there, Cass?" and Feng kept adding more numbers.
"It says that birdie and spidey double-teamed Herman and took whatever that was in the truck."
"-255! What do you think is so important about what they stole? 256-" continuing her exercise.
"I don't question the Medicis, Feng. I trust them in my life, that whatever was stolen could've probably helped the community but it was robbed by a bunch of selfish freaks."
"-261! Whatever, but the spider guy is stealing my schtick! 262-"
"All more the reason we hate him."
"-270!" Upon stopping, Feng's sweat was dripping upside down. With preparation, she backflips to stand & face Cerebella.
"New Record! Anyways, did Vitale invited you to the party?" changing the topic by the black & white hair girl.
This made the darker-skinned girl beam up with glee, "YES! I get to be his personal bodyguard and wear a bunny suit and even Vice Versa gets a makeover! Isn't that right?" Petting the living weapon who squints its eyes in a manner that looked happy.
"So, are you gonna be like those bunny girls?"
"YEP!"
"Well have fun, I'll cover the laundry day for you."
This made Cerebella grapple the smaller girl, nearly suffocating her roommate from her 'top assets, "You're the best, Feng!"
"Yeah, yeah, just get your milk sacs off me!"
"Alright, alright, I'll be on my way." with her exiting the trailer through the door.
Feng meanwhile, taken hold of the newspaper & read the contents involving a certain web-head.
Location: Daily Bugle, 6:00 pm
"Whoa, Look at you with the suit!" The Feline exclaimed at the pig feral's fine tuxedo, bow tie n' all.
"Fancy, right Nadia?" Ned smiled smugly
"Nah, your pig-face ruined the whole thing. Makes you look like a stereotypical fat-rich pig."
"Wh-What!?" offended the pig
"I'm kidding! you still look like a cute pig that I can cuddle."
"W-Wait! You can't just do a one-eighty! Stop my playing with my emotions!"
"Fine, just what are you gonna write about anyway? It's just some fancy-schmancy party."
"This is a party about charity, Nadia. It's a good thing."
"Pffffft! Why can't they do it the traditional way? y'know, giving money n' food to those in need straight up, or clean Little Innsmouth at least."
Before Ned can answer, the door opened to reveal their Boss in a tuxedo; alongside the nerdy photographer who was also in a tuxedo.
"Whatareyoutalkingabout! Move Leeds, Move! And you, Nadia! Keep that mouth to yourself! You don't get to criticize the goodwill of these people!"
At the same time, Peter rolled his eyes. 'How Ironic.'
Location: Bastet's Den, Time: 7:00 pm
In front of the lines of cars & limos, a Great Pyramid can be seen with bold neon letters that say The Building's name. looking closely to the said crowd of people walking tuxedos and masks; among them are Peter, Ned, and Jameson in fine tuxedo suits with masks on their faces.
"Now boys, this is an adult's party. I don't want you going around and embarrassing me in front of these upperclassmen. So-Do-what-I-whatever-tell-you-to-do." chopping every bit of word to get his point across.
Peter, who was wearing a simple black domino mask while holding a speeding graphic camera, "Crystal clear Jonah."
"Me too, Boss." added in by Ned; wearing a yellow domino mask with ruby lenses that gave him red eyes.
Jonah pulled out his pocket watch and smiled, "It's time, boys. Welcome to the rich folks' world." the massive gates unlock to reveal a very spacious room that's organized with tables to dine on, a stage that has a walkway sticking to the front.
On the stage are three figures, two of which are muscular Ferals: one of them is a dog with white hair, the other is an overweight Bird feral with glasses,
But the final figure is a Tanned Diva wearing an elaborate black dress that revealed her cleavage, an ankh is attached to her waist that reached the bottom part to her knees & the round top went around her.
She was holding a golden microphone stand that could be mistaken for a weapon with a crescent-shaped foot.
"Good evening guests! As you know this is for the charity fundraiser to those poor souls in No Man's land." this made the party-goers sadden in sympathy.
"But with your goodwill, we can help these unfortunate victims with your generous donation of blood in your nearest drive."
"So, without further ado let the night be musical!" this came with cheers from the audience. The Song was chill and relaxing which made the dinner welcoming.
"In a Moment's time~"
(In a Moment's Time by the Consouls version)
This made Peter's group quietly seated at one of the tables. Peter on other hand, put down his camera concerning to not ruin the night. Jonah was ordering from the menu that was already prepared, and Ned excused himself to the restroom.
While listening to the music, he was tapped from the shoulder and founded himself to be looking a familiar brown-skinned girl, in a very revealing fever bunny suit; Vice versa appearing as a furry hat in his passive form with long rabbit ears instead of horns & an x where the mouth area should be.
In short, Her revealing curves made the teenage boy very hormonal.
"Hey, Peter. The Medici's wanna talk to ya'." Cerebella whispered while using her thumb to point at a table of five figures.
"What? Why?" befuddled from the sudden request.
"I don't know. Just go seat by them, you don't want to offend the family that done this charity after all."
Standing up reluctantly, Peter excused himself, "Fine. Hey, Jonah the Medici's want me to seat with them. Is that Okay?" which earned a confused look from the mustache.
"Hmm, well Kiddo. Just don't embarrass me with these rich folks."
With the signed approval from Jameson, Cerebella escorted Peter quietly to the Medici table in respect of the Diva. Upon reaching their destination, they were greeted by a horse-headed robot butler and the whole Medici Family, Filia herself is seated next to an overweight man & her ex: Eddie Brock.
A blonde woman wearing a necklace is next to a muscular man.
Everyone at the table wore for the occasion with Filia having a simple short white dress, and everyone wears golden masks with holes to see their eyes.
Except, the Big man Himself with his face bare to the party, being cornered by both the fat and muscled men: Lorenzo Medici with his arms outstretched.
"Welcome! I hope you are enjoying this night young Parker." said warmly by the main house.
"Mi sono divertita, Signore Medici." bowed the chestnut head.
"Good, good, You're Meridian needs work but it will suffice."
"Thank you, I am studying very hard for my Meridian classes, but why did you call me?"
"I never disappoint my guests. Do you wanna know why I called you here?"
"Why, sir Lorenzo?" asked in politeness
"It would be an insult to not serve hard workers, Peter. Your aunt had served the Medici's from a young age, and she's still serving in Marcus' household."
"But my Aunt and Uncle did all the hard work, it would make sense if they were rewarded; not me."
"Well here's a gift that she can not simply refuse." Lorenzo handed him over a present box with a neatly tied ribbon on top.
Peter reacted positively & took hold of the gift, "Th-thank you! We're very humbled receiving a gift from you."
After receiving the object, waiters in Fever bunny suits and skull-like bunny mask that had feathers looking like rabbit ears; delivered plates of Spaghetti & meatballs to their table with another plate for Peter Parker, one of them brought an extra chair for him.
"Sit, young Parker. Enjoy your dinner." The Robot-horse butler prepared their utensils in front of them & gently arranged napkins on their laps.
Peter dined in with careful etiquette that he learned from Carol lecturing him an earful whenever he put his elbow on the table or burp once.
"Since how did you get here, Pete?" whispered Eddie beside him.
"I got the job from the Bugle!" Peter whisper-yell back, while the Robo-butler prepared Eddie's lap with a napkin.
"Great! But how did you get the pictures? They were practically flying." Brock recalled from the paper.
This made Peter paused in realization, "Um… uhh…" 'crapcrapcrapcrap!'
Bump!
"Ow!" pained by Brock, locating the source; it was Filia that kick her ex under the table.
Brock responded with a questioning shrug towards Filia. Filia on the other hand glared at him. Then directed her eyes towards her parents. Which made Eddie realize his mistake & both boys continued to eat.
"So, you are the Peter Parker that I have heard of? You look at bit… Underwhelming." The overweight man uninterestedly said.
"Fratellone, had at least some respect for the boy." The Muscular man lightly reprimand.
The 'Fratellone' smiled in amusement, "I'm just playing with you both, Marcus. The name's Vitale kid. So, how was the Circus? Watching the show must be fun."
"It was fun, Cerebella was spectacular at her performance. But who was the girl with the black n' white birds? She was mesmerizing." Peter jovially asked.
"If my memory serves me right. I think her name was Feng: she came from the Dragon Empire to provide for her family and a friend of Cerebella." Vitale points his eyes towards cerebella, who was serving drinks to the patrons.
"Wow. Must be hard to leave her family, at least she has someone accompanying her."
"They are close friends and roommates from what I've seen. Cerebella, on the other hand, is more tragic, to say the least." taking another bite from his fork.
"Cerebella was orphaned from the war. But I took her in and let her grew up in the circus to be more responsible with her gift." now eyeing her hat.
'S-She's just like me!? An orphan. At least she had help on how to use her powers instead of making a mistake as I did…'
"At least she still had her Uncle Ben." solemnly stared at her with relatability.
"A Million apologies from the Medicis, Ben Parker was a great friend and the heart of the circus that lead them to their fullest potential from what I heard with Cerebella." Crossing himself with respect and prayed quietly.
Peter pulled his left hand in front of himself, "There's no need, it's not the Medici's fault he was killed. You've been good people from what I've seen with all this wealth and power you've been distributing back to the community."
"Don't worry, the streets will be cleaned with our money backing the NMPD. Chief Leeds will lead the police force with great authority."
"You mean: Leed?"
"Haha! I didn't know the kid was a comedian, Marcus!" meanwhile, Marcus is chuckling while sipping a glass of wine.
"Maybe you have a place in the circus, boy."
"Sorry, but my place is in science."
"I understand you're trying to have a better future, especially being enrolled in a private school; same as Filia here." the aforementioned girl rolled her eyes.
"Filia, have some table manners. At least Carol was a bit more respectful." Her father lectured.
"Calm down, Honey. She is just a growing girl that needs to know her role as a woman." The necklace wearing blonde woman put her hand on her husband's shoulder.
"But Ameilia!-"
"Marcus Medici. I will handle this." the woman uttered his name darkly.
"Sweetie, could you please apologize to the boys?" the woman kindly commanded her daughter.
"But-"
"FILIA."
Being defeated, she swallowed her pride and meekly apologize while looking down in shame, "I'm sorry to be to both of you uncle Vitale and you too Peter."
"A-Apology accepted, Filia." Peter cringed from the family interaction he just witnessed.
"Whoa bro, you just made the school princess apologize to you," Eddie whispered beside him.
Peter ignored him and kept eating his spaghetti while listening to some great singing from Eliza. Which was already ending but the Diva had more plans for the night.
"Woooweee! That was very entertaining wasn't it folks!" the following Partygoers cheered from their tables.
"We know why we are here; to Remember a Tragedy that could've been avoided if it weren't for the desperation to help others from their suffering. She may have caused said suffering though her intentions were clear, to honor memory we must build a statue off the coast, and Donate your blood to those in need with Lorenzo Medici leading the charge."
She pointed her hand towards said Medici; Lorenzo stood up in response & the lights aimed at him as he towards the platform with his cane that had a glowing round red crystal on the stick and grabbed the tall golden mic.
"It has been an honor to lead this noble cause, but the news is true that Parasoul did not attend this party because she was involved in tracking down terrorists and other dangerous groups just like a true ruler to safeguard us all."
"It is an understandable responsibility of a great leader, and I will do my part to help others. So for tomorrow, there will be a NEW Meridian for our children to live in! To Toast!"
"Toast!" yelled the cheering Diners back. SENSE!
But unknown to them except recently from Peter, someone is sneaking behind the Robo-butler; a Female Figure wearing a pumpkin mask latched a mechanized Frog behind it.
ZAP!
This resulted in the robot being short-circuited. The action made everyone gasped in horror & others scream in terror from the sudden attack.
"I think he went literal with that one!" joked the female assailant.
"What the!-" before Lorenzo continued, the gate opened with Four figures guarding the entrance that wore Halloween-themed masks; all of them carrying guns & sacks.
"Would you kindly, put your charity in the bag or I'll have to tax it from you!" demanded a lean Dagonian wearing a modified pumpkin head, while his buddies pulled out their sack towards everyone.
"W-Who are you! Guards, deal with these Ruffians!" Said guards of men in suits & fedora came rushing in with their pistols and Tommy guns.
AAAAA!
But they halted when one of them was lodged in the chest by some kind of screaming pumpkin-Batarang, instantly ending him.
Another figure flew in, on some kind of bat-rocket. While said figure cackling madly.
"GOOOD EVENING! BUONASERA! It is I, the Green Goblin that will be your tonight's performer! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
