Chapter 22
Martha opened her eyes to find herself in a large dinning hall. There had to be over a hundred eight-men round tables that were set for a large banquet. She was tied up tightly to a chair up against the far wall. She looked up to see the roof thirty feet up with a tent-shaped sky window. Looking around, it looked like there was a stampede out of the banquet hall. She assumed that the Lizard went on a fritz to get them all out. As far as she could see, there were no dead bodies in the room. Was he setting a trap for Spider-man? She struggled to break out from her restraints but was unsuccessful.
Spider-Man was swinging through the city, his chest was still burning in pain with the wind blowing upon his chest. If this formula worked, hopefully he would be able to bring this fight to a quick end. As he swung through the city, he noticed a large crowd of people running franticly. Spider-man followed upstream to the flowing crowds of people to find the source of the flow. Spider-man swung onto the building next to the four three story building. There was a sky window on the rooftop below. Perhaps he should land on the roof top and take a look inside.
His spider-senses went off, alerting him of extreme danger. Above his head, a window shattered and the Lizard came jumping out of the window, dropping straight down on top of him. Soon, they were free falling down the side of the brick tower, falling towards the sky window on the rooftop of the building below. The two of them wrestled for control as they descended. Spider-man pushed himself out of the Lizard's reach with his feet. Spider-man fired a web line at the wall and stuck out his feet. The web line instantly tightened and the only thing that kept him from slamming into the building was his feet. He looked more like a wall climber.
The Lizard descended past Spider-man. It reached to the brick wall with all of it claws and began to slow his descent until he came to a complete halt, leaving a trail of claw marks on the brick wall. Spider-man looked down to find the Lizard speedily climbing up the wall. "Just great!"
Spider-man bent his knees and pushed himself away from the wall, letting go of the web line. In mid air he twisted around and fired a web line at the same time. He begun to swing away from the wall. The Lizard, seeing this, sped up climbing up the wall, but by the time he reached the spot, Spider-man was well out of his reach. The Lizard hissed as he Watch Spider-man swing away from him towards the other end of the street. As he was half way across, he spun another web line back to the wall he had just left and made a sharp U-turn. Spider-man was swinging straight for the Lizard, feet first.
Spider-man slammed right into the Lizard's back, pinning him up against the brick Wall. Spider-man used his left hand to stick to the wall and used the weight of his body to pin the Lizard down. "Stay still, this won't hurt a bit," Spider-man said reaching for the large syringe behind him. Before he could grab it, the Lizard pushed them off the wall, sending them plummeting downward once again. Spider-man reached out with his right hand to fire a web line when the Lizard grabbed his right tightly with an evil grin on his face. "Die, Ssspider-man."
The Lizard brought his left arm back and crashed his left palm into Spider-man's face, sending him falling faster towards the sky window.
He could not come to his senses in time and crashed through the sky window back first. Martha screamed in horror, as she covered his face from the falling debris of glass. He fell half way down the banquet room before firing a web line up onto the roof to stop his descent. He found himself dangling above the ground. His left eye piece was cracked, and the costume up by his shoulder blades was slightly ripped and bloody from the glass. Spider-man looked up to see the Lizard standing over the ledge looking down through the hole where the sky window was.
The Lizard leaped off the ledge and landed on top of Spider-man, sending them both plummeting down to the ground. The two of them crashed in the middle of one of the large round tables, with the table collapsing on impact.
Spider-man struggled to get up. As he fought to stand up, he pushed aside half of the table that was destroyed upon impact. He reached for the syringe, but it was not there. "Where is it?" He gasped as he looked around. The debris from the table made it hard to spot it.
"Spider-man!" Martha screamed out. Spider-man turned around to see Martha Connors tied up in a chair. He took a step towards her when his spider-senses went off. "Look out!" Martha Screamed.
Spider-man turned around only to get a tail slapped in his chest sending him flying over Martha's chair and to land on the ground. Spider-man used his arms to push his chest off the ground only to have the Lizard there on top of him and picking him off the ground by his costume. The Lizard lifted Spider-man over his head and hissed as he threw him through another table. Spider-man laid there in the debris, stunned and in agony. The wounds on his chest reopend, drenching his costume.
The Lizard grabbed Spider-man by his ankle and threw him like a large frizbee with such strength, he would have flown over all the tables all the way to the other side of the banquet hall. Hall way across the room, Spider-man stretched out his hands, each pointing at a wall opposite from the other. He fired web lines from both wrists which connected to both walls. He allowed the web line to flow from his wrists for a few seconds before ceasing. When He ceased, his web lines tightened as they brought him to a complete stop before sling shooting him back at the Lizard, feet first. The flat of his feet came crashing into the chest of the Lizard sending him crashing into the wall violently, leaving a giant dent and cracks in the wall.
Spider-man continued to gain momentum as he fired a web line which connected to the Lizard's chest and he yanked on the line. The Lizard came flying towards Spider-man and he used his super agility and perfect timing to flip kick the Lizard under his chin, causing him to stagger back a few steps. The Lizard quickly came to his senses, but as Spider-man landed on his right foot after completing the mid-air flip, his right foot touched the ground only for a fraction of a second before he jumped up kicked the Lizard across the face, bringing his body horizontally to the ground only for the attack. The Lizard side flipped in the air and crashed through a table, stunning the Lizard. The debris of the table and the table cloth and broken plates and silverware buried the Lizard, giving Spider-man a breather.
He took a deep breath and ran up to Martha and untied her. "Mrs. Connors, get out of here quick! It's not safe for you here!"
"Please do everything in your power to save my husband," She pleaded with him as she jumped out of the seat after Spider-man finished untying her.
"I will do my best," Spider-man promised her.
Martha ran up to the first table that was broken during the battle and she bent over and picked up the syringe that Spider-man had lost. "Take this!"
"I will, just go, quickly!" Spider-man urged as he took the syringe and put it behind him underneath his costume, with the handle still peeking out of the costume.
Martha ran for the door just as the Lizard leaped up onto his feet, roaring with rage. His eyes began to roll behind his head for a second before they came back down and focused on Spider-man. He hunched over like a mindless beast hissing and drooling. Spider-man took a step back. Things were now about to get violent.
