Chapter 23
The Lizard, now in the state of a mindless predator, leaped at Spider-man with all it's fangs revealed. Spider-man dropped to his back as he fired a web line underneath the Lizard at the far wall. He drew in the web line causing him to slide on the floor on his back right past the Lizard who was in mid-air.
Spider-man used the same web line to throw himself up onto his feet. He spun around to see the Lizard spin around to face him. Before the Lizard could make another lunge, he fired a web line and caught a leg of a table. With one swift super tug, the web line with the table leg wrapped around the Lizards arms and chest several times. "That should keep you tied up so I can give your medicine." Spider-man said, breaking the web line off from his wrist and began to reach for the syringe.
Before he could do anything, the Lizard broke the web line that tied him up with ease. The Lizard lunged at Spider-man. Spider-man caught the Lizard's wrist as they collided. The Lizard snapped his jaws at his face as they went flying through the swinging doors leading to the kitchen.
They hit the ground, with the Lizard on top of Spider-man wrestling with him. His fangs were inches away from his face, dripping drool onto Spider-man's mask. Spider-man used his legs to throw the Lizard over his head and over the stainless steel counter top.
Spider-man jumped to his feet and ripped out the syringe. He pulled off the cap and held it in his left hand. He pointed his right wrist towards the syringe and slowly fired a web line at it. He looked up to see the Lizard stand up on the other side of the stainless steel counter. He waited as the Lizard leaped over the counter top. Spider-man rolled to the right and threw the syringe forward as he released the web line from his right wrist. As the Lizard flew past the syringe with the attached web line, Spider-man grabbed the web line with both hands and swung it. The web line curved in on the Lizard, and the needle point of the syringe stuck into the back of the Lizard, but not deep enough to do any good. The lizard didn't even know that it was in his back. That was some thick skin the Lizard had.
The Lizard quickly regained position for another lunge. This time he charged, without leaving the ground. Spider-man fired a web line that connected to the far wall at neck length. Spider-man leaped over the web line and over the Lizard as he ran into the web line, gagging. Spider-man landed behind the Lizard and spun around and pushed the syringe all the way into his back. The Lizard yowled and before he could fight back, he pumped the formula into the Lizard and pulled out the syringe. He threw it aside and stepped back as the Lizard groggily spun around to face Spider-man.
The Lizard took one step, hissing, before collapsing onto his stomach. Spider-man took a breath of relief and began to relax when his Spider-senses warned him of danger. "It can't be!"
The Lizard climbed up to his feet hissing. "I'll kill you for that, Ssspider-man!" The Lizard growled.
The formula had only brought the Lizard out of his mindless predator frame of mind. The formula Dr. Connors must have put into himself must have been slightly different from what his note said. That slight change must have brought about the change into the Lizard, but now there was no way of stopping him. The Lizard stormed towards Spider-man. Spider-man tried to spray webbing into the Lizard's face but he wiped the webbing away in mid air with his right claw. The lizard grabbed his wrist before he could retract it, and he pulled him so violently, that he was thrown over the counter top and crashed up against the side of another stainless steel counter. Spider-man grimaced as he fought pain to stand to his feet.
He looked ahead in time to see the Lizard tossing two butcher knives at him. Spider-man bent his back backwards until the back of his head touched the cold stainless steel counter. The first knife flew past the tip of his nose, missing contact by less than an inch. The second knife sliced his right shoulder. Spider-man stood back up to find the Lizard leaping over the counter top and heading straight for him. Spider-man fired two web line at the Lizard, and used the lines to throw the Lizard past him and over the counter top behind him.
The Lizard adjusted his position in mid air to land on his feet. He grabbed the web lines attached to his chest and jerked on them with super strength. The jerk on the Web lines sent Spider-man flying right towards the Lizard. The Lizard caught Spider-man by the throat. The tips of his claws dug into his neck, drawing blood. The Lizard lifted Spider-man with both hands over his head. Turning around, the Lizard saw red-hot grills still burning away. With no hesitation, the Lizard threw Spider-man towards the grill. Spider-man landed right on the greasy grills on his back. Spider-man screamed in pain as he rolled off the grills. His entire back was bare now bloody, and now badly burnt from the grill. His neck continued to burn as his mask had caught fire. Peter ripped the masked off and stomped on it, to put the flames out.
Peter got up onto his hands and knees, in great agony. His spider-senses went off but he was too weak to defend himself. The Lizard's tail came crashing into the side of Peter's face sending him flying into one of the many stainless steel counters.
Peter struggled to pull himself up with the countertop. Pain continued to rack his entire body as he fought to remain conscious. The Lizard hissed with glee as he charged at Peter. Peter barely made it to his feet and turned around when the Lizard delivered a super punch right on his chest where his wounds were. Peter yelped in pain. Again, the Lizard used his tail and used it as a powerful whip across Peter's chest. The strength in the Lizards tail was astronomical that Peter fell to his hands and knees.
Peter coughed a few times as blood dripped from his mouth with each cough. Peter looked up at the Lizard who stood in front of him looking down at the mess he has made. Peter felt helpless and hopeless. There was no way of defeating the Lizard. He was just too powerful for him. His eyes dropped, but as they did, he saw something straight back from the Lizard all the way across the room. It was a large walk-in freezer and hope rekindled in him. It all dawned on him. The Lizard was most likely a cold blooded creature and cold blooded creatures can not stand the cold.
Peter fired a web line past the Lizard. The Lizard turned to see what he was doing as the web line connected to the handle. Peter yanked on the web line, pulling the handle out and opening the freezer door. Peter jolted at the lizard, and rammed his right shoulder into the Lizard's gut with all of his strength, quickly pushing the Lizard towards the freezer. The Lizard formed a giant fist by combining his two hands and brought it down on Peter's badly burnt back.
Peter screamed in pain as he fell down to one knee. Peter could not give up now, now that he was so close in bringing an end to the terror. Peter fired a web line up to the roof and slid up the web line as fast as he could. While sliding upward, he kicked the Lizard underneath the chin, stunning the Lizard. Once above the Lizard. He fired another web line to swing past the Lizard. Once past, he released the web line and dropped to the ground. As he dropped, he spun around and fired a web line that connected to the Lizard's back. Once Peter's feet touched the ground, with the last of his strength, he pulled the web line.
Peter stepped aside as the Lizard went flying backwards to crash into steel shelves. He closed the heavy steel door and he stood there as he heard the pounding of the door from the other side. He waited for a few minutes before the pounding stopped. Peter threw open the freezer door to see the lizard there unconscious. He quickly pulled the lizard out of the freezer. He was still breather, much to Peter's relief. Now what?
Peter fell to his knees as he coughed up some more blood. As he wiped his chin off from his blood, he watched as the Lizard's body transformed back into Dr. Connor's body. It was over.
