Chapter 1
Peter, in his Spider Man outfit, sat on the ledge of the gargoyle statue's head beaming into the pages of a library book.
Peter Parker was the actual one that checked out the book, but there was nothing wrong with letting Spider Man read it.
He closed his eyes and sighed heavily after closing the book after finishing the last page. He reopened his eyes and gazed out at the city of New York far below. "This isn't an easy thing being Spider Man. Especially having a trouble maker such as the goblin terrorizing innocent people just to annoy me… He's doing a really good job of it… Until his out of the way, I'll never have a time to have peace and quiet. Spider Man has to work to keep everyone safe from that freaky green costumed maniac." He shook his head and sighed quietly, "I'll never be able to forgive him for endangering the lives of innocent people! He messed with the wrong Spidey!"
Just then, a flash in the corner of Peter's eye erupted. He turned his head to look at the object that interrupted his trailing thoughts. "Huh? What is that? Could it be a meteorite?"
Spider Man quickly webbed the library book under the gargoyle's head and zipped from building to building to head in the direction the strange object was falling toward.
"It couldn't be a meteorite. It's too big and the projectory is curved.. Could it be a ship?" Peter's hope grew as he thought of a strange alien life form coming from space to come down to visit Earth and that he could be the first to meet it.
"I better hurry if I want to be the first to see it!" Spider Man hastened his pace from the web lines, heading in the direction of the falling object.

Samus took the elevator down out of the starship. She stepped away and turned back to look at the steaming hot ship.
"Shit! This is not good! Damn you, Adam! I should have steered the ship instead! Now it's just a melted wreck!" Samus walked toward one of the landing pads and gave it a hard kick in frustration.
Samus screamed out a series of curses and swearing followed by a few beam blasts to the half melted exterior of the space ship.
Samus slumped down on a rock and turned her gaze toward the vast blue water that seemed to have no end to it, but the beauty of it made her calm down rapidly.
After a minute, she stood back up and re-entered the ship.
"Adam, I'm going to go look for materials that may be able to put this hunk of half baked junk back together. Meanwhile, I want you to repair any damage to the computer terminals."
Adam spoke in an amused tone, "I thought that I was the Commanding Officer."
Samus gritted her teeth and muttered to keep her temper in check, "This isn't a laughing matter, Adam. Until this ship is fixed, we're both stuck here. And don't think that you can rely on the Galactic Federation to help us. We won't be able to contact them so we're on our own."
Adam asked, "Uh, why aren't we able to contact them?"
Samus swallowed and replied softly, "I accidentally busted the transmitter… and the fact is we are totally out of the signal's reach."
Adam raised his voice, "What?! You broke the transmitter?!"
Samus grumbled and turned to leave the ship to excuse herself from Adam's uncontrollable lecture rampage.
She sat back down on the same large black rock to look out into the ocean again. Samus felt relieved to escape from Adam's continuous bombarding speeches of anger.
The life-form sensor went off on Samus' visor screen. She quickly got to her feet to ready her gun at any intruding life forms that would come into the area.
"Shit… if one of these Earthlings find my ship, they'll report it to the Earth authorities and have my ship hauled away! I cannot risk it.. I will have to draw the thing away."
Samus formed into a ball and bounced up the rocky ledge. She quickly planted small bombs to try and distract the being from her starship and focus its attention on her.
Samus looked at the life-form screen of her visor and saw that the being turned its direction toward her. "Yes, that's it. Get away from the ship, you little shit."

Peter's spider sense went off as he heard little explosions go off. He held his place on the side of one of the broken down buildings to look around for the source of the strange explosions. He looked down and saw a large green and yellow spotted ball suddenly disappear into the building that he clung to.
Peter quickly climbed down the building and crept thorough the broken window.
"Ah, good. It's dark. I can hide much easier." He crawled along the ceiling and peered down to look for the odd looking ball. "Come out, come out wherever you are." Spider Man spoke quietly while turning his head to look for the ball.
"Hmm.. how strange. Something that big can't hide that easily."

Samus chuckled to herself as she stood outside of the building looking in through the window.
"What a stupid insect. All I had to do was go out the other way… on the other hand, that creature is kind of strange. I expected it to be a curious human that followed my ship, but instead it's a nut ball in blue and red spandex… He must think he's a bug or something, but I really gotta hand it to that sticking to the ceiling trick." Samus turned away, "I feel bad for the kid, but it's what he gets for being outsmarted by the bounty huntress."
