Spider-Moon Chapter 7 - Crystal Line

As the city opened to a new day, everyone went about their business like normal. The only thing that was wrong was that one building wasn't going through any thing normal. "Come on, we have to get the body out of here. At least before anyone finds it." One guy stated as the burst open the door heading to the van that was parked in the alley. As they got closer to the van, the one guy knew that something wasn't quite right. "Now I don't believe that you guys are about to do something wrong here right?" A voice asked from above. The guy looked up and spotted the one person that no one doing wrong ever wanted to meet. "Spider-Man!" He exclaimed as he started backing up and right into the guys that were holding the body. "Gee got it in one." Spider-Man stated as he just sat there on top of the van seeming to have appeared out of no where at all. "And I do believe that you happen to be blocked from all sides" He told them as they just continued to look at him. Once they realized that it wasn't just him that was there, they turned and noticed a female in a green and white dress standing next to another female in a red and white dress. Turning the other way he noticed that there was two others standing to that side, they were wearing orange and white and blue and white, and the one guy noticed that the one in the blue also had blue hair as well. Thinking that he might be at an advantage here, the guy grinned and took out his gun. "What kind of a fool do you take me for Spider-Man, Even with these dames help, I can still do some damage here." He stated as he looked Spider-Man right in his eyes. Spider-Man smiled even though one couldn't see it under the mask. "Well that being the case, what about those three right behind you and the ones standing right behind me. I doubt that you can actually take on all of the Sailor Scouts from Japan. And last I knew the guy in back of me throws a really mean rose." Spider-Man stated as Tuxedo Mask behind him took out a rose. The guy dropped his gun realizing for the first time that he really was out numbered and even worse, that there was no way to get out of it besides surrendering. "Just where in the world did you guys come from? One second you're not even there, the next poof, there you are with out even making a noise." He said as he held up his hands. "That's for us to know and you guys never to find out." Spider-Man stated as he raised his hands up and fired off the webbed to secure them. "Is that the body?" He asked Sailor Mercury as he leaped off and down next to the body. Sailor Mercury came over and looked. "Yes it is, where the crystal?" She asked. "Right here." Sailor Mars stated as she brought out the crystal. Spider-Man wondered where in the world she actually kept the crystal hidden. "Once of these days, you're going to have to tell me where in the world you guys keep your things. Last I could see there wasn't a pocket on there to spare." He stated as Mercury put the blue Heart Crystal back into the man. When Mercury placed the crystal on the man's chest, she noticed the usual pull for the crystal to go back into its host's body. She let it, and once it faded into the heart of the man, they started hearing a groan. "He going to be just fine." She announced. That was the one thing that everyone was happy about. However Spider-Man knew that the entire thing was far from over. "Well if you girls want to take the front door," He started looking up. "I'm going to be taking the side door." He finished as he shot a line of webbing out and swung up. As Spider-Man got to the top office and looked in, he noticed that there was a lone person in the office acting like nothing was wrong at all. I guess word hasn't gotten to him yet. He thought as he opened the window and entered. The guy at the desk looked up. "What is the meaning of this?" He asked Spider-Man looked at the guy as he sat there making sure that he was ready for anything. "Well the meaning of this is actually very clear. It seems to me that you had better get ready to answer for something that you were the cause of. Namely right now you have several girls on there way up here right now who are about ready to kick your butt right back to Japan." He told him.

Meanwhile down in the lobby. While Sailor Moon and Mars were fighting over where to go in the lobby Sailor Mercury already had her visor on and her mini computer out. "It's this way." She cried out to them heading for one of the near by six elevators that were in the lobby with them. Mars and Moon stopped fighting when they discovered who had figured out what. "I thought that I was right, after all Sailor Moon you were just trying to get something to eat instead." She stated as she ran over to the elevators. Sailor Moon didn't like what she said, but kept her mouth shut for this time and just ran over to the elevators with the others. "So just how far up are we going anyway?" She asked. Mercury was already trying to figure that out. "It appears that we have to travel up to the 27th floor of the building in order to get where Spider- Man happens to be." She said as she also kept an eye on the Spider-Tracer that he had given her before hand. It was something handy to have since she was going to need it when it came to getting to where he was at. "Just be ready for anything scouts." Tuxedo Mask stated to them as the doors dinged and opened up for them. As the scouts all stepped inside and Mercury pushed the right button which took them all the way to the top floor that they needed to travel too. Once the door opened and they stepped off. As soon as they were close enough to their destination, they could start to hear screaming inside the office. "Gee looks like someone started the party with out us." Jupiter stated as they all ran up to the door and threw it open. Inside was Spider-Man hanging from the ceiling looking at the guy then towards the Scouts. "Gee what took you guys so long?" He asked them. Lita smiled. "Sorry it took so long, slow elevator. So did you start with out us?" She asked him coming into the office. Spider-Man looked at her and then at the guy sitting at the desk. "Actually no, ever since I had shown up, he had been yelling something about demon; I still have no idea what in the world that means either." He said. Mars knew right what it meant and said something before Sailor Moon could do it. "I think that he's talking about a spider demon of sorts. Don't worry too much about it." She told him. "After all, when we get through with him, it won't matter much at all." "Actually, it will matter a great deal Sailor Scouts." A voice stated to the side of them. Everyone turned to see someone enter in from a side office. Spider-Man knew just who it was too. Flipping down from the ceiling and crouching down on the desk before flipping off that. Once Spider-Man was fully on the floor he looked at the guy. "Hey aren't you the guy from the plane?" He asked him. The guy smiled. "You are right Spider-Man, or should I say Peter Parker." Spider-Man didn't like where that went to in a hurry. "How do you know who I am?" He asked him. The guy crossed over to the desk where he pushed the old man out of the chair. "Gee I'm surprised that you admit that so fast." He said as he sat down. "Actually we had to confirm that you were on the plane in the first place after seeing you in Tokyo at the Genetics press conference. However we had to test you out to see what would happen, and we found out. After all we had one person in the first class cabin that was watching you and the scouts. But you were the only one that had left and then appeared as Spider- Man. It made only sense then." He explained. Peter couldn't believe what was going on here. But he also knew that back then when he had attacked in the plane that he had to do something and that he couldn't have just sit back and watch while doing nothing. "What do you want?" He asked the guy. Sailor Uranus, who had been watching the entire exchange, didn't like where this was heading and made it clear as she stepped next to Spider-Man. "Don't bother. I deal with his kind all the time over in Tokyo." She told him. "They keep trying to bring me in and it keeps failing." The man looked at her. "She's right. For the past two years, we have tried to bring her and her lover into the fold of the Tri-Ad, but to constant failings." He stated. "Basically it comes down to this. Except for the Heart Crystal, which I assume has been totally dealt with; we're offering you a chance to join the Tri-Ad in Tokyo. Your skills will be most helpful to that of the Tri-Ads." He stated. "I don't expect an answer to the question now. Please sleep on it and let me know later, after all we'll be in contact." He finished. However Spider-Man had already made up his mind. "I've already got your answer for you." He said as he shot a blast of webbing at the guys face covering his mouth. "You're going to jail. Period." He stated as he started webbing the guy up. "After all the police would love to have a little talk with you, and your diplomatic immunity status was canceled a while back." He finished as he continued to web him up.
