Harry was angrily flying on his glider. 'I can't believe it! I looked into the hospital, I checked his apartment, I checked his home! I checked every possible place, and I STILL can't find him!' he thought. He flew into the abandoned building, where Otto had been waiting for him.
"Have you found anything?" asked Otto angrily.
"No-I searched every place that he could be, and I can't find him anywhere!" said Harry.
Otto smirked. "Typical. A young teenager will never be able to do the job right."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" screamed Harry.
Otto raised his hand and feigned innocence. "Nothing."
"Otto, I'm getting sick of you. I'm the one in charge. I have the money-the resources. I-"
"Excuse me?" asked Otto. "You're the one in charge? Who was the one who made this deal in the first place? Who is the one with the intelligence? You may have the resources, Osborn, but you would never be able to get this far without me!"
"I could do perfectly fine without you. I don't need your help!"
Otto smirked again. Harry-who was trembling in anger-slowly reached for a bomb. Otto, however, noticed this slight movement. One of his tentacles reached for Harry while the other crushed the bomb.
"Look, Osborn. I am getting extremely tired of this charade. Either you listen to me or-"
Suddenly, the monster swung into the warehouse. Although Harry was upside down, he still noticed the spider symbol on its chest.
"Peter?" asked Harry. Otto stared at the creature with a growing amount of interest in his eyes.
"Fascinating," muttered Dr. Octopus as he dropped Harry onto the floor. Both villains stared at their nemesis in wonder. The monster lunged for Octavius, who easily dodged it. The monster turned its attention to Harry, who threw a pumpkin bomb at it. Once it made contact with the monster's face, foul-smelling, green gas caused the monster to go limp.
"Well, Otto? What is that about a teenager never being able to do the job right?"
"Shut-up," muttered Octavius as he kneeled next to the being.
"Octavius, you can get the sample now-you know."
"Harry, Harry, Harry," said Octavius as he shook his head, "Why go on with the project when our nemesis is right here for us? We just have to kill him, and from the looks of it, we won't have a hard job doing that."
Harry considered what Otto was saying.
"No," he said as he shook his head, "No, the best way is to make him suffer not just physically, but psychologically. Do you think something as petty as death will be enough? I don't think so."
Before Otto could argue, though, both of them heard a loud voice scream, "Freeze!"
Both turned around to see two teenagers: one a young boy covered in ice and the other was a young girl with a leather outfit and a white stripe in her otherwise brown hair.
"Wow, that was pretty fast," said the girl.
"And who are you?" asked Otto angrily.
"We're the X-Men, and here to take THAT thing with us," replied Bobby.
"You're not going to get him!" screamed Harry.
"Who's gonna stop us? You?" replied Bobby with a smirk.
"Uh, Bobby," said Rogue nervously, "I don't think-"
"Look, Rogue," interrupted Bobby, "I'll handle this."
"Yeah, I am!" exclaimed Harry angrily as he threw a dozen razor bats at Bobby and Rogue. Rogue ran out of the way while Bobby froze as many as he could.
"Am I good or what?" said Bobby as he froze every one of the bats that was heading straight for him.
"Bobby, watch out!" screamed Rogue. Bobby turned around just in time to see Harry flying on his glider. He quickly ran and performed a somersault to avoid the collision.
Meanwhile, Octavius advanced on Rogue.
"Watch out," said Rogue. Otto's metal tentacles reached for her.
"I mean it!" said Rogue as she backed away.
"Teenagers," muttered Octavius as he rolled his eyes. His four limbs wrapped around Rogue and began squeezing her. She tried to move her hands. 'Almost there,' she thought as her left hand reached for her right glove. Otto-being the observant scientist-grabbed both her wrists tightly.
"Catch me if you can you loser!" screamed Bobby as he rolled away.
Harry continued to throw razor bats and bombs at Bobby, who continued to dodge them.
"Bobby!" screamed Rogue. Bobby turned around to see Octavius trying to squeeze her to death.
"Rogue!" shouted Bobby as he quickly formed an ice bridge to transport himself toward her. He didn't realize that Harry was quickly advancing, and his glider had ejected two knives. Before any of them could continue their struggles, though, the monster had awoken, and it flung itself onto Harry's glider. Harry-due to his inexperience-easily fell. The monster swung away as the glider smashed into Bobby's ice slide. Bobby fell and hit the ground. Octavius let go of Rogue and turned his attention toward Spiderman. By that time, though, the monster had swung out of the warehouse. Harry quickly got up from the floor, landed on his glider, and turned to Rogue and Bobby, who were both lying on the ground.
"We'll continue this later," said Harry as he and Octavius followed Spiderman.
Bobby quickly got up and helped Rogue up. He hugged her tightly and whispered, "Are you OK?" Rogue nodded silently.
"Bobby," she said as she gasped, "I-think-we-need-back-up."
"No way," said Bobby, "We can do this. We have to prove to them that we're not kids anymore."
"But Bobby-"
"No, Rogue. We can do this-we HAVE to." Rogue looked up and saw the determination in Bobby's eyes. She slowly nodded as Bobby smiled. He quickly formed an ice slide and with a wave of his hand, he said, "Ladies first."
Rogue smiled and got onto the ice slide.
"Hold on! We've got a monster to catch!" said Bobby as he covered his body in ice again. Rogue held onto his waist as she and Bobby slid across the ice slide.
"Damn! I don't see any signs of the monster or those guys!" said Bobby.
"Bobby, maybe we have to make this ice slide go higher," said Rogue. Bobby nodded and made a towering ice slide.
"That's as high as it can go," said Bobby. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion. Bobby quickly got up and ran to the top of the slide. He saw the bright lights. He quickly grabbed Rogue as he said, "And away we go!" He continued the ice slide and slid towards the scene.
"Have you found anything?" asked Otto angrily.
"No-I searched every place that he could be, and I can't find him anywhere!" said Harry.
Otto smirked. "Typical. A young teenager will never be able to do the job right."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" screamed Harry.
