"Well done, Otto!" said Harry as he flew toward Octavius. Harry was about to jump off his glider when Octavius's metal tentacles reached for Harry.
"What-are-you-doing?" asked Harry as he struggled against the tentacles that were squeezing him ever so tighter.
"What I should have done a long time ago," growled Dr. Octopus.
Suddenly, it clicked.
"You! You were the one who almost killed me!" screamed Harry.
Dr. Octopus smiled mischievously. "So, you finally remember? Peter was the one who saved you, and I was the one who maimed you. I was waiting for this moment. Today is the greatest moment of my life. I will finally be able to get rid of both of my enemies!" snarled Otto.
"Otto!" gasped Harry, "You're making a big mistake!"
"No, I'm not. I'm only doing what I had wanted to do in the first place."
"STOP!" screamed Mary Jane. Otto turned around and saw Mary Jane, Rogue, and Bobby on his ice slide.
"Who's going to stop me?" asked Otto as he squeezed Harry harder.
"Your worst nightmare!" said Bobby as he aimed a beam towards Otto. Otto quickly let go of Harry and dodged the beam easily.
"You think you can beat me that easily?" screamed Otto as he advanced toward Bobby.
Bobby aimed another beam-but this time it wasn't ice-it was water.
'Damn it! My powers!' he thought.
"Rogue, get that girl and Spiderman out of here!" screamed Bobby.
"I'm not leaving you here!" Rogue screamed back as she turned around just in time to see Dr. Octopus's tentacles reach for her. Before it made contact, though, Harry pushed her away.
"Thanks," said Rogue as she got up.
"Yeah-well, it was no big deal," said Harry with a shrug. They heard a loud crash, and both turned around to see Dr. Octopus's tentacles miss Bobby by several centimeters.
"Shall we?" asked Harry as he landed on his glider. Rogue smiled.
"Gladly," she said as both of them headed toward Bobby to help him.
While Rogue, Bobby, and Harry were fighting Dr. Octopus, Mary Jane was searching for Peter. She saw the monster lying unconscious on the floor. She quickly knelt beside him. 'What did he do to you?' thought Mary Jane as tears streamed down her face.
One of Otto's tentacles realized Mary Jane was kneeling next to Peter. It was right behind her when Harry quickly landed on his glider and grabbed her. Instead of hitting Mary Jane, the electrode attached to it hit the monster.
"Peter!" screamed Mary Jane as she stared at what she believed was Peter's last moment.
