Peter was glad that he was able to get out of his apartment before the police and all the media had arrived with his Spider-Man costume. He was now standing on his favorite ledge on top of a tower in the heart of the city. He had his pants and boots on, but his mask and shirt were laid neatly on top of the eagle-gargoyle's head. He was in the middle of wrapping his rib cage with a ace bandage. As he wrapped his rib cage, pain jolted through him like lightning.
The ace bandage was long enough for five laps around his abdomen. After he was finished, he grabbed his shirt and slowly put his shirt on. The tightness of his uniform bothered his ribs even more. After a few seconds, he was use to the pain and he grabbed his mask and pulled it down over his head.
He had no more time to waist, Mary Jane was in trouble, and he had to save her, no matter what the cost. He knew that this was going to be a fight to the end, and as the way things was turning out, this would be his final day in existence. The one thing he had to make sure he did before he was killed was make sure Mary Jane is safe from danger. After that, it didn't matter what happened to him or with Dr. Octopus and stop his madness.
Spider-Man fired a web line and began to swing through the city. Dr. Octopus said something about him knowing where to find him. What was that suppose to mean? As he was swinging through the city, something began itching his ankle. In mid swing he reached down to his ankle and felt something attached to his red and blue boot. It was very tiny, he could nearly crush it with a pinch of two of his fingers. With his thumb and index finger, he pulled the tiny object off of his uniform and pulled it up in front of his face to look at it. It was some sort of mechanical device. There was no doubt that this is what Dr. Octopus used to find him at his own home. So his secret identity was still intact! That was a burden off his mind. Aunt May was still safe, for now.
He swung through the city, not sure what he was looking. He swung by the burnt down science complex but there was nothing suspicious going on there. For over an hour and after several laps through the city, Spider-Man was loosing hope. Would he ever see Mary Jane alive again?
Hope was fading fast until he noticed on the roof of an abandoned car factory warehouse a large red dot painted on the roof. He knew without a doubt that he had found him. Now, he hoped that Dr. Octopus didn't harm Mary Jane in any way.
* * * *
Mary Jane back was slammed up against a wall. "What do you want from me?" Mary Jane demanded angrily.
Dr. Octavius grinned as one of his metal tentacles wrapped around her waist and pulled her to him. Her face was less than an inch from his. "My young darling…" He put his rig hand on her face, but she jerked her neck, to pull her face away. Dr. Octavius laughed. "You have already done want I want. Spider-Man is on his way, to rescue you. So actually, your usefulness has expired." Without warning, his right hand shot up and grabbed her by the throat. She yelped and gasped as began to chock her. "Spider-Man will be here weather you are alive or dead. The truth of the matter is, that by killing you, Spider-Man will become more reckless and give me more of an advantage. No, maybe on the other hand, I just want to see Spider-Man face when he sees you dead!"
The sound of glass shattering above him made Dr. Octopus loosen his grip on her throat and looked up to see Spider-Man breaking through the skylight. His knees were to his chest as he pointed both wrists down at him. He fired two web lines which stuck to Dr. Octopus' shoulders. With all his strength, he jerked on the web lines and for added strength, he straighten up so his feet pointed towards Dr. Octopus.
The strong jerk pulled Dr. Octopus off the ground, forcing him to lose his hold on Mary Jane. Spider-Man's feet rammed him in the pack on back, sending him flying back down. He crashed on the ground with his stomach and face first.
Spider-Man landed several feet from Dr. Octopus who was stunned by the attack. He finally looked at Spider-Man with a bloody lip. His teeth was clenched tightly, as his outrage was clearly apparent.
Spider-Man ran and helped Mary Jane backup to her feet. "Are you okay, MJ?"
"Yes, thank-you, Spider-Man!"
Spider-Man looked behind him to see Dr. Octavius getting up to his feet. He looked back at Mary Jane and grabbed her arms. "You must get out of here quickly! I'll hold him off!"
"There is no escape, Spider-Man! The only way you can and your girlfriend can escape is by killing me." Dr. Octopus lifted up a large square remote control and he pushed one of the large red glowing buttons. He then reached down and grabbed a piece a metal and threw it at one of the walls. Just inches from the wall the piece of shrapnel hit an invisible field. Electric bolts fired where the metal hit and the metal fell to the floor. "You see, I have an invisible electric blockade covering every inch of wall. Even the ceiling is covered. You can not escape this building without deactivating the shield, and the only way to do that is by going through me."
"You're crazy Dr. Octopus!" Spider-Man turned to face him. "You were once a well respected man in the world of science, and now you use your knowledge and skills for evil purposes!
"My life was over when that explosion destroyed my life's work is over, and so will the life of Wilson Fisk as soon as I am done with you, since I now know he is the one responsible!"
"Forget it Dr. Octopus! The line of you terror ends here!" Spider-Man replied.
"We'll see about that!" All four mechanical tentacles raced towards him. Spider-Man allowed his spider-senses to lead him as he leaded over and ducked under the attacking tentacles. He jumped for Dr. Octopus, avoiding all the tentacles and landed a punch across his face.
Dr. Octavius turned his face back towards Spider-Man with an evil grin on his face. Before Spider-Man could do anything, a mechanical tentacle wrapped itself around his wrist and threw him into a rusted down steel frame of a car. Pain jabbed through his already damaged ribs as Dr. Octopus began to inflict more. The tentacle had not let go of his wrist, but instead, flung Spider-Man up in the air like a doll and slammed him into the invisible electrical fence just inches from the wall.
Spider-Man scream in pain as the electricity began to burn his back. Charred flesh could be seen on his back, as a large hole was burnt through the costume. Spider-Man crawled to his hands and feet, trying to get up. A mechanical claw whipped him back onto his stomach, hitting on the burns on his back.
Dr. Octopus laughed mockingly at Spider-Man. "It's over, Spider-Man!" His four mechanical tentacles picked up the rusted steel framed and crashed it down upon Spider-Man's back!
Mary Jane, watching from a distance, gasped, unable to believe her eyes. She was somewhat relived to see the steel frame roll off Spider-Man and him struggling to his hands and feet, his body shaking. Spider-Man's costume was torn all over his body, and the white eye pieces were cracked!
Dr. Octopus was amused at the sight of a broken Spider-Man, but he was not satisfied as of yet. He walked up to the injured Spider-man as he struggled to his feet, still hunched over. Dr. Octopus brought his right fist behind him and went to punch Spider-Man across the face, but Spider-Man caught his fist in the middle of his right palm and squeezed. Dr. Octopus gasped at the pain, as Spider-Man stood up straight. With his right fist, he punched Dr. Octopus square in the chest hard enough to send him flying several yards. While in air, the remote control dropped out of his pocket and bounced slightly on the floor. Spider-Man shot a web line at it, and jerked on the web line, sending the remote flying into his hands. He pressed the red button and the invisible electrical fence flickered off. He dropped the control on to the floor and stomped his foot through the remote with the heel of his right foot.
Dr. Octopus was back on his feet with a grin on his face. "This doesn't change a thing, Spider-Man! You are still going to die!"
Before Spider-Man could react, one of Dr. Octopus's metal tentacles slapped him across the chest, sending him crashing into the far wall. The impacted dented the wall as Spider-Man hit the ground. A metal tentacle wrapped around Spider-Mans right wrist and another one wrapped around his left. The two tentacles lifted the barely conscious Spider-Man high above the ground, stretching his arms out from one end to the other.
"Before I kill you, I must know who it is I am about to kill!" Dr. Octopus said in his thick German accent. The claw to one of his two remaining tentacles made it's way towards Spider-Man's mask.
"No!" Mary Jane gasped in horror. Something had to be done to stop this man. He was going to ruin Spider-Man's life! The claw clasped at the mask. Mary Jane was frozen. She prayed for some kind of miracle; for some kind of intervention. She did not want to see his identity revealed, but she could not keep herself from looking away.
The Claw slowly pulled on the mask. The skin of the neck could be seen. Soon the mask was up to his chin, wear blood stained the skin. Soon, the reason for the blood stains was revealed. The blood was partially from the busted lip. Some of it was probably caused by internal bleeding. The blood was also dripping from his nose as the mask went above his nose. The Claw suddenly finished the job and ripped the mask all the way off.
Mary Jane was stunned beyond words. She didn't know what to think, and didn't know if she could trust her eyes. Dr. Octopus looked up in disbelief and horror as there in his grasp, his admirable foe Spider-Man, was no other but Peter Parker, his own intern. "Now, how can this be? How can fate be so cruel?" He was so distracted, the mechanical tentacles dropped Peter to the floor.
"Octopus!" A voice called from above his ahead. He turned and looked up just as the Black Cat's right foot came crashing into his chest sending him crashing into a metal beam.
Dr. Octopus was back at full concentration, as he clenched his teeth. "I see that you haven't learned your lesson the first time!" A metal tentacle raced towards her. With very quick speed, she spun around, and released her razor claws and sliced the claw off the tentacle.
"I see that your powers seem to be genuine this time. No matter, you will die just the same." All three remaining claws, and the one tentacle with an electric stump raced towards her. She leaped higher, than Dr. Octopus had seen her jump before. She reflected herself off the wall to nearly fly over Dr. Octopus. She was nearly past him until one of the metal tentacle wrapped around her ankle. The tentacle pulled her and slammed her onto the hard ground.
The Cat rolled onto her back and hopped onto her feet as if she was unfazed by the attack. She ducked under a tentacle which went to grab her by the throat. She caught the tentacle on its way back with super strength, she pulled on the tentacle, sending Dr. Octopus flying towards her. She formed a fist with her right and her fist met with his face. Dr. Octopus staggered backwards, cupping his hands over his nose and mouth. "Ah, you stupid…"
The Black Cat charged at Dr. Octopus, waving her razor claws on both hands. From out of no where, a claw grabbed her right wrist. She went to cut her wrist free with the razor claws on her other hand but another one grabber her right ankle. The two tentacles picked her off the ground and swung her around.
He had her where he wanted. He could do whatever he wanted with her, and she would not be able to protect herself from the incurring damage with only one hand. He swung her face first through a window high up on one of the walls. The tentacles pulled her back and slammed her up against the ceiling before letting her go, allowing her to free fall. Against the pain of her already bruised ribs, she was able to twist around to hit the ground with her upper arm.
The Black Cat rolled back onto her back, barley conscious. The mask that had been covering her face had slipped off in the last attack, and Mary Jane, who was watching from a safe hiding place again could not believe her eyes. Felicia Hardy was the Black Cat! First it was Peter and now Felicia. In a weird way, it was all starting to make sense now. Felicia, was Peters crime fighting partner, so no wonder why told her all those things about Peter. She now knew why Peter had never committed himself to her. More than that, she now knew that he did love her.
When she broke out of her train of though, she saw that Dr. Octopus had one of his mechanical tentacles wrapped around Felicia's neck and was lifting her off the ground and was acting like a noose around her throat! Felicia gasped and she grabbed at the tentacles, desperately trying to get air back into her lungs. Mary Jane looked around and found a rusted metal pipe on the floor. She grabbed it and quietly snuck up behind Dr. Octopus.
"Stupid girl, do you think it really matters if you have found real super powers or not? You are going to die just the same!" Dr. Octopus laughed.
Mary Jane raised the metal pipe and cracked it over his thick round skull! Dr. Octopus yelped in pain, as he lost his concentration and the mechanical tentacle released Felicia from it's death grip.
Putting a hand over the bloody spot on his head, he turned to face Mary Jane with teeth clinching, and veins popping out from his head. Mary Jane dropped the pole, as the sudden realization of what she had done and what was going to happen next came to her. She slowly stepped back away from him, but every step farther she took was met by a step towards her on his part. "That is going to cost you, my dear!"
Peter struggled to his feet, but nearly fell back down, as the world was turning before his eyes. Everything was starting to become more clearer when he heard Mary Jane yelp. With a turn of his head, he saw Dr. Octopus raise Mary Jane off the ground by one of his tentacles wrapping around her neck, choking her to death. "I was hoping for you to see your boyfriends death, but that little stunt of yours changed my mind. Now, I will have to settle with seeing the reaction of Parker as he sees you dead and broken body thrown in front of him!"
"NO!" Peter screamed with rage! As he charged at him like a rampaging bull.
Dr. Octopus turn just in time to receive a fist across his face, sending him stubble backwards and causing the tentacle to release Mary Jane. "ENOUGH!" Peter marched a few steps and grabbed Dr. Octopus by the collar of his white science uniform and pulled him in as he deliver a quick punch to the gut and then a devastating upper cat, putting him down flat on his back.
Peter pulled him off the ground by the white coat, and held him a foot off the ground. "Your reign of terror ends NOW!" Peter used all his full strength to throw him over his shoulder.
Dr. Octavius screamed in terror as he hit the metal wall face first, just barley getting his arms out in front of him. He hit the ground and his body began to shake. Pain echoed throughout his body as he was in shock. Peter continued to show no mercy towards his nemesis. Again he pick him up off the ground. "You have killed enough in this lifetime, Doc! You have nearly killed my partner…" Felicia was on her hands and knees trying to get up when she heard him refer to her as partner. A smile appeared on her face. "…and you have kidnapped and tried to kill the one person that means more to me than the world!" Mary Jane as sitting on top of her legs when she heard what Peter was saying. Tears strolled down her face, full of joy to hear him say it out loud his feelings towards her.
Peter slammed him up against the wall and continuously pounded on Dr. Octopus face until his face was a bloody mess. With each punch, he put more and more strength and rage continued to build up. Peter paused his pounding, to look down at the bloody Dr. Octopus. He was barley conscious. "Please…no more…have mercy on me!"
"Mercy? You know no mercy, now you ask me for it! No, your reing of terror ends now!" He raised his fist to deliver one final blow which would end this war once and for all until he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't do it, Peter! He's not worth throwing your life away for. Don't become the monster he is."
Peter looked back into Felicia's eyes and then down at Dr. Octopus scared for his life. He remembered their first encounter when he urged Dr. Octopus not to kill Wilson Fisk's assistant but Dr. Octopus went ahead and did it in cold blood. Now, the roles were reversed. He was about to do the same with Dr. Octopus, and what would that make him?
Peter lowered his fist. "No, I am not the monster like you are. The law will judge you!" Peter threw him onto the floor.
Peter turned his back towards Dr. Octopus to find Mary Jane running into his arms. His ribs and bruises ached by her touch, but he found holding her in his arms to be more comforting than the pain bothering him. It was finally over. Mary Jane was safe, and Dr. Octopus had been defeated. Now, there was finally time for rest and recovery.
Peter did not realized that a metal tentacle was slithering around his ankle. By the time he felt it, it was to late. He was lifted high off the ground, as Mary Jane ran back a few steps. A bloody Dr. Octopus was back on his face. "Fool! You should have finished me while you had the chance!" He threw Spider-Man across the room. Peter's back crashed into the wall and fell to the ground.
A tentacle wrapped around the Black Cat's and Mary Jane's necks and they lifted them off the floor, chocking them to death. Peter, his entire body shaking in pain, looked over at Dr. Octopus and then at Mary Jane and the Black Cat. He then looked directly up over Dr. Octopus' head to see the ceiling cracked. The only thing keeping the portion of the ceiling up was a beam right behind Dr. Octopus.
Pointing both his wrists towards the top of the beam, trying to fight the shaking, and fired two web lines. They both connected to the metal beam. With his last ounce of strength, he jerked on the web lines as hard as he could. It was just enough to send the beam crashing down behind Dr. Octopus.
Dropping Mary Jane and the Felicia, he looked behind him and then above him as a section of the ceiling began to cave in on top of him. Felicia jumped to her feet and grabbed Mary Jane and pulled her out of danger. Dr. Octopus screamed as the large pieces of the ceiling came crashing on top of him.
A large pile of debris fell on top of Dr. Octopus, and when it was all done and said, his upper body was still visible. The metal pack on his back had been destroyed and sparks were flying from it's circuits. The metal tentacles twitched, but nothing more. Felicia helped Mary Jane up to her feet and she ran to Peter's aid. Felicia cautiously walked up to Dr. Octopus, and felt his wrist for a pulse. He was still alive, just out cold.
Mary Jane knelt besides Peter to see if he was alright. Afterwards, she stood up and helped him up onto his feet, and allowed him to lean on her. Felicia walked up to Peter and Mary Jane. "It over!"
The sound of sirens was heard approaching the warehouse. There was no mistaking that they police had somehow discovered that there was action going on here and they on their way to check it out. Felicia ran and fetched her and Peter's mask on the floor. "Let's hit the roof!"
The ace bandage was long enough for five laps around his abdomen. After he was finished, he grabbed his shirt and slowly put his shirt on. The tightness of his uniform bothered his ribs even more. After a few seconds, he was use to the pain and he grabbed his mask and pulled it down over his head.
He had no more time to waist, Mary Jane was in trouble, and he had to save her, no matter what the cost. He knew that this was going to be a fight to the end, and as the way things was turning out, this would be his final day in existence. The one thing he had to make sure he did before he was killed was make sure Mary Jane is safe from danger. After that, it didn't matter what happened to him or with Dr. Octopus and stop his madness.
Spider-Man fired a web line and began to swing through the city. Dr. Octopus said something about him knowing where to find him. What was that suppose to mean? As he was swinging through the city, something began itching his ankle. In mid swing he reached down to his ankle and felt something attached to his red and blue boot. It was very tiny, he could nearly crush it with a pinch of two of his fingers. With his thumb and index finger, he pulled the tiny object off of his uniform and pulled it up in front of his face to look at it. It was some sort of mechanical device. There was no doubt that this is what Dr. Octopus used to find him at his own home. So his secret identity was still intact! That was a burden off his mind. Aunt May was still safe, for now.
He swung through the city, not sure what he was looking. He swung by the burnt down science complex but there was nothing suspicious going on there. For over an hour and after several laps through the city, Spider-Man was loosing hope. Would he ever see Mary Jane alive again?
Hope was fading fast until he noticed on the roof of an abandoned car factory warehouse a large red dot painted on the roof. He knew without a doubt that he had found him. Now, he hoped that Dr. Octopus didn't harm Mary Jane in any way.

Dr. Octavius screamed in terror as he hit the metal wall face first, just barley getting his arms out in front of him. He hit the ground and his body began to shake. Pain echoed throughout his body as he was in shock. Peter continued to show no mercy towards his nemesis. Again he pick him up off the ground. "You have killed enough in this lifetime, Doc! You have nearly killed my partner…" Felicia was on her hands and knees trying to get up when she heard him refer to her as partner. A smile appeared on her face. "…and you have kidnapped and tried to kill the one person that means more to me than the world!" Mary Jane as sitting on top of her legs when she heard what Peter was saying. Tears strolled down her face, full of joy to hear him say it out loud his feelings towards her.
Peter slammed him up against the wall and continuously pounded on Dr. Octopus face until his face was a bloody mess. With each punch, he put more and more strength and rage continued to build up. Peter paused his pounding, to look down at the bloody Dr. Octopus. He was barley conscious. "Please…no more…have mercy on me!"
"Mercy? You know no mercy, now you ask me for it! No, your reing of terror ends now!" He raised his fist to deliver one final blow which would end this war once and for all until he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't do it, Peter! He's not worth throwing your life away for. Don't become the monster he is."
Peter looked back into Felicia's eyes and then down at Dr. Octopus scared for his life. He remembered their first encounter when he urged Dr. Octopus not to kill Wilson Fisk's assistant but Dr. Octopus went ahead and did it in cold blood. Now, the roles were reversed. He was about to do the same with Dr. Octopus, and what would that make him?
Peter lowered his fist. "No, I am not the monster like you are. The law will judge you!" Peter threw him onto the floor.
Peter turned his back towards Dr. Octopus to find Mary Jane running into his arms. His ribs and bruises ached by her touch, but he found holding her in his arms to be more comforting than the pain bothering him. It was finally over. Mary Jane was safe, and Dr. Octopus had been defeated. Now, there was finally time for rest and recovery.
Peter did not realized that a metal tentacle was slithering around his ankle. By the time he felt it, it was to late. He was lifted high off the ground, as Mary Jane ran back a few steps. A bloody Dr. Octopus was back on his face. "Fool! You should have finished me while you had the chance!" He threw Spider-Man across the room. Peter's back crashed into the wall and fell to the ground.
A tentacle wrapped around the Black Cat's and Mary Jane's necks and they lifted them off the floor, chocking them to death. Peter, his entire body shaking in pain, looked over at Dr. Octopus and then at Mary Jane and the Black Cat. He then looked directly up over Dr. Octopus' head to see the ceiling cracked. The only thing keeping the portion of the ceiling up was a beam right behind Dr. Octopus.
Pointing both his wrists towards the top of the beam, trying to fight the shaking, and fired two web lines. They both connected to the metal beam. With his last ounce of strength, he jerked on the web lines as hard as he could. It was just enough to send the beam crashing down behind Dr. Octopus.
Dropping Mary Jane and the Felicia, he looked behind him and then above him as a section of the ceiling began to cave in on top of him. Felicia jumped to her feet and grabbed Mary Jane and pulled her out of danger. Dr. Octopus screamed as the large pieces of the ceiling came crashing on top of him.
A large pile of debris fell on top of Dr. Octopus, and when it was all done and said, his upper body was still visible. The metal pack on his back had been destroyed and sparks were flying from it's circuits. The metal tentacles twitched, but nothing more. Felicia helped Mary Jane up to her feet and she ran to Peter's aid. Felicia cautiously walked up to Dr. Octopus, and felt his wrist for a pulse. He was still alive, just out cold.
Mary Jane knelt besides Peter to see if he was alright. Afterwards, she stood up and helped him up onto his feet, and allowed him to lean on her. Felicia walked up to Peter and Mary Jane. "It over!"
The sound of sirens was heard approaching the warehouse. There was no mistaking that they police had somehow discovered that there was action going on here and they on their way to check it out. Felicia ran and fetched her and Peter's mask on the floor. "Let's hit the roof!"
