Chapter 15
Peter, in his Spider-man costume, was swinging around New York looking for any signs of that creature was still alive or not. He was extremely happy to be back in his old red and blue costume. The costume was made of very heavy latex, so it could take some beating and come out unscathed.
He was swinging rather low through the city: about six stories from the ground. He was in eye's view of anyone who was looking up in his direction at that precise moment he swung by. He wasn't quite sure if he wanted to confront that creature again. He had a feeling that he had only stopped him the first time by taking him by surprise. Next time, he had a feeling things were going to get intense.
Spider-man landed right on the edge of a rooftop of a small-time grocery store and took a look around. There was no sign of the creature. New York was quiet tonight. He stood up and turned around. He made his way towards the other end of the roof. He was half way there until his spider-senses went off. The moment his senses went off, the world seemed to go in slow motion, including himself. He leaped high above the ground, as the Lizard came leaping at him from behind. The lizard would have gotten the nap of his heel if Spider-man had not began to flip himself backwards at the very last second. His flip pulled his heals upward, just missing the Lizards large claws by inches.
The lizard flew past Spider-man underneath him while Spider-man flipped all the way around to land on his feet. Everything seemed to go back to normal speed and Spider-man was standing face to face with the Lizard. "So, you are still alive. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised."
"Loussssy warm-blooded abominationssssss! You mussssst die!"
"You do speak! I guess you're the strong, silent type," Spider-man said, hiding his complete shock of the sudden intelligence he was showing. This was quite a different personality than their first encounter. The first time, he seemed like a mindless, primitive predator. Now, he was expressing intelligence. Where did he come from if he wasn't a lab specimen gone awry?
"You warm blood beasssssts talk too much!" The Lizard hissed. "You diesssss now!" The lizard made another leap for Spider-man. Spider-man ran two steps towards the lizard and then slid underneath the Lizard's leap. Just as the Lizard was over his body who had just stopped sliding, he combined his wrists to form one thick web line which made contact on the lizards chest. The Lizard flew past jerking Spider-man's over his head.
Spider-man, used his super strength and jerked on the web line. The Lizard, in return, was jerked backwards and flew back into the brick wall of the three story taller building connected to the building they were fighting upon.
Spider-man leaped to his feet and began spraying webbing at the Lizzard as fast as it would come out of his wrist. Soon, the Lizard was completely covered by the webbing from his neck down; stuck on the wall. "That should keep you long enough to figure out what I am going to do with you."
"Let me goooossss!" The lizard struggled with the webbing but could not break through the thick layer of webbing that pinned him to the wall. "I will killsss…" His eyes began to roll into the back of his head before his head drooped downward. "Where am I?"
Spider-man stepped back, not quite sure what had happened. "If you're trying to play on my sympathies, you should have thought about that before you killed several innocent people earlier today."
"Spider-man!" The Lizard looked up at him, but instead of a monstrous look on his face, the creature showed sympathy in his eyes. Not only that, but he was talking like a human and not like with a hint of the reptile accent. "Please help me! I can't control it any longer! It's taking control of me!"
"What are you talking about? What's taking control of you?"
Again, the Lizard's eyes began to roll into the back of his eyes. A half minute later, his eyes reappeared and his fangs began to reveal themselves as he let out a growl.
Spider-man's spider-senses went wild, causing him to step back yet another step further from the Lizard. Suddenly, the Lizard went wild, snapping it's jaws and growling at Spider-man. "Just great, this is the mindless creature who I met the first time around. This guy has more personalities than a professional wrestler," he thought to himself.
Suddenly, the Lizard ripped through the webbing as if he had been layered with paper. His strength had increased three fold as he transformed into the mindless predator. Breaking out of the webbing, the Lizard lunged for
Spider-man. Spider-man fired a web line and tried to slide up the web line out of the path of the Lizard, but he had seriously underestimated the speed of the Lizard as it's arm crashed into his gut. The Lizard violently swung his arm, throwing Spider-man to the rooftop.
He crashed into the rooftop with such impact, he nearly broke through the rooftop. In the wake of his impact, he laid there stunned inside the dent. Spider-man's head was spinning as he tried to sit up. "I have never been thrown down with such force by anyone! This thing is not only faster, but is way more stronger than I am! I have to retreat and come up with a new battle plan here!" Spider-man said to himself.
He looked up to see the Lizard leaping towards him with his claws out in front, and it's fangs dripping with drool. Spider-man fired webbing into it's eyes, temporarily blinding it. It was just enough time for Spider-man to raise roll up onto his shoulder blades and used the flat of his to catch the Lizar and catapult him over his head. The Lizard went flying, farther than Spider-man had intended, and it flew right over the ledge of the building.
Spider-man rolled onto his feet and without taking any chances, he fired a web line and swung himself to the wall and crawled a few stories and looked back down to see what has become of the Lizard. He didn't have to wait long before seeing the Lizard leap back over the ledge onto the roof top. It sniffed the air for a brief second before looking up to see him. "I should be safe from him up here for a few seconds." He comforted himself. The Lizard charged the wall, and at that moment his spider-senses went wild. "You've got to be kidding me!"
The lizard crawled up the wall faster than Spider-man had anticipated. He desperately fired a web line and tried to swing off the building, but the Lizard had already caught him and grabbed him by the ankle. Spider-man found himself stuck in mid air. His web line kept him up, but he could not move with the Lizard holding onto his ankle. "Let me go!" He kicked at the Lizard's hand.
It released his ankle, shaking his wrist. Spider-man slowly sung forward, but because the Lizard had grabbed his ankle, he did not have enough force to swing to the next building. He found himself dangling off the web line, high above an alleyway. Directly below him was a garbage dumpster up against a pointed metal fence. "Just great!"
The lizard hissed as he saw Spider-man hanging there and showed its drooling fangs. It threw itself off the wall and it came flying towards Spider-Man. Spider-man slid up the web line, with the bottom of his right arm directly in front of his face and as he did so, he kicked the Lizard underneath its chin, sending him falling down to the alleyway backwards.
Spider-man watched as it fell to the ground and looked away just as the Lizard fell onto one of the metal fence's spikes. Spider-man lowered himself to the alley way and stood there to see the Lizard, quite dead, as the spike hand punctured straight through its back and out its stomach. "This was not quite the way I was hoping to end this, but at least the city is safe."
