SPIDER-MAN

a fanfiction by Chipolata

[Chapter 9]

Vegeta was fed up. He'd searched every inch of Osborne's office and hadn't found any way down to the level under B11.

      "There's got to be a way in! Rrr!" Vegeta growled quietly.

      Vegeta kicked the filing cabinet. A useless move, as even though the kick didn't hurt his foot, the cabinet fell over and onto his shin.

      "That's it! I've had it!" He yelled, forgetting that Carl was in the office next to him. "You die now! Big Bang Atta..."

      Vegeta stopped. He looked at the energy attack formed in his hands. He grinned under his mask.

      "Why didn't I think of that before? I was so busy being Spider-man, I forgot that I'm a Saiyan!" Vegeta extinguished the blast and ran out of the room.

      He ran to the elevator, pried open the doors and jumped into the shaft. As he fell, Vegeta used his ki to slow his speed. The actual elevator was stopped on the second floor, and Vegeta landed on it unharmed thanks to his Spider agility and his Saiyan endurance. He hopped into the elevator through the hatch on top. It so happened that there were more people in it.

      "Sorry folks," Vegeta said in a very Peter way, "Need to use the lift if that's okay with you."

      "S-sure, Spider-man." One lady said. The people got off the lift.

      When the doors closed Vegeta pressed the button for B11. The trip lasted only a few minutes. When it reached the bottom Vegeta flew out the doors and found himself in a car park.

      Vegeta found an empty space in the car park and aimed his open hand at it.

      "Uhn... rrh..." Vegeta charged an energy attack in his hand, and then blasted a neat, round hole through the floor.

      Water and gases sprayed out from cut pipes. Sparks shot from loose wires. Vegeta pondered the scene for a moment - it was like he was stepping into a portal. Then, he jumped and pin-dropped into the hole.

"Spider-man!" Green Goblin exclaimed as Vegeta dropped through the hole.

      Vegeta landed Spider-Style.

      They were now situated in a large, tall room. It was filled with lab equipment straight out of a cheep horror movie. Green Goblin was standing in the middle with Mary Jane, Peter and Bulma tied up to chairs and gagged.

      "That's right, Goblin, now let them go!" He demanded, indicating Mary Jane, Peter and Bulma with the sweep of his hand.

      "But... you weren't supposed to blow up the car park! You were supposed to take the secret lift! Blowing things up isn't your style!"

      "Spiders are unpredictable creatures, Goblin. Prepare to fight!" Vegeta yelled.

      "Not so fast, Spider-man! You remember that bomb I told you about?" Green Goblin held up a detonator. "If detonated, it will not only kill your wife and your friends, but it will destroy the entire building too!"

      Vegeta froze.

      "Ah ha ha ha! I thought so!" The Goblin cackled as he moved backwards to his glider. "You're such a softie, Spider-man! It will be your undoing!" Goblin jumped backwards onto his glider and shot at Vegeta. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

      Vegeta jumped, and stuck his hands on the ceiling.

      And slipped.

      "Whmph?" Mary Jane exclaimed through her gag.

      Vegeta flipped onto his feet before he hit the ground.

      "What's going on?" He asked himself.

      "Mri Hrew Mith!" Peter cried though his gag, and began to pull at the ropes.

      Green Goblin hovered closer to Vegeta.

      "I don't believe it! Is Spider-man not himself? Is he losing his powers? Why, I think so! Why would this happen?"

      Goblin fired on Vegeta. Vegeta barely dodged in time.

      "My my my, what a development!" Goblin cackled.

      "Yep. Guess what it means?"

      Goblin turned. Peter stood in front of his chair, ropes snapped.

      "It means you'll have to deal with two of us!" He said.

      "What? No! You're not Spider-man, Vegeta is!" Goblin cried.

      Green Goblin fired on Peter. Peter dodged and stuck to the walls.

      "Vegeta! Throw me the web-shooters!" He asked.

      Vegeta complied. Peter pulled on the shooters and swung himself to the opposite wall.

      "Oh yeah! I've missed this!" He exclaimed.

      Vegeta materialized in mid-air next to him. He took of the Spider-mask and handed it to Peter.

      "Here. You're Spider-man again." Vegeta told him.

      "Thanks, Vegeta." Peter told him, and put the mask on.

      "What? Peter... the original Spider-man? And how are you floating in the air?" Goblin cried. "How is this happening?"

      Vegeta turned. "When you mess with the Prince of the Saiyans, you have to expect the unexpected! I always have an ace up my sleeve!"

      "Saiyan?!?" Green Goblin screamed. "Prince??"

      Vegeta smirked his smirk. Suddenly, a sharp shock in his head turned his attention elsewhere.

      "The bomb! It's about to go off!" Peter and Vegeta realized at the same time.

      "You grab Bulma! I'll get MJ!" Peter directed, and swung over to the other hostages.

      Green Goblin was frozen with shock.

      "Vegeta... but Peter... Spider-man... hey... wha...?"

      Vegeta grabbed Bulma (still tied up) and flew out the hole he made. Peter shot his webbing up and carried MJ out.

      "What about the rest of the building?" Peter yelled.

      Vegeta paused. "I'll be back." He said calmly and dropped down the hole.

      "Vegeta!" Peter yelled. "Ah! The bomb!"

AN: Yeah, yeah. The worst spot to end a chapter. But I had to put a bit of suspense on it. Will Vegeta survive the blast? Will Peter, MJ and Bulma? Or anyone else at OsCorp? It's bound to be a blast, next chapter of Spider-man!!
