A note from me, Sailor Earth Selestina:

Hey! It's been a while since I've been able to write the rest of this story. This is the supposed last chapter. I had to split it so now we have a fourth chapter. YaY! I hope everyone likes it as much as I had fun writing it. Thank you to the three who have reviewed my story, Spider-Man Manic, cheri1, and The Cure. Your reviews mean a lot to me. I'm introducing a character that is my own, Michele. The major villain of my story was thought of completely by accident since I wrote most of this last year. I was very surprised to see him. You shall see what I mean. Also what I wrote is based off a number of sources--the comics, the cartoons, the movies, etc. The challenges are based on Zelda dungeons, BTW.

Just a reminder is someone's thoughts. I hope everyone likes it! Everyone please R/R! On with the final chapter then!

Chapter 3

Darkness Looms

Mornie utulie (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alanitie (darkness falls)
A promise lives within you now

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Spider-Man walked into the cannery. It was dark and dank and it smelled largely of rotten fish. The darkness made it hard for him to see. The smell filed his nostrils and almost chocked him.

Spider sense, don't you dare fail me now. He walked a bit more until he was out of the darkness. The light that shone upon him half blinded him.

"Mary Jane!" he cried out. There was a muffled sound, but it was indistinguishable. He tightened his senses. He needed any clue that came about. He needed to find M.J. He still walked forward. The light that shone upon him earlier seemed to have had followed him as he walked. It gave him the impression that he was not alone and not going anywhere at all.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Mary Jane squirmed and yelped. She couldn't be heard due to the cloth muffling her. It tasted awful. She had been watched over these past couple of days by a man named Morrie Bench. He had been a boyfriend of Mary Jane's a few years ago. He had then had joined the navy and there he had an accident that turned him into Hydro-Man.

"So, M.J., how about we hook-up again after your hero-boy kicks the bucket. I can show you the world and more."

Bite me! Mary Jane would have defiantly said this if it wasn't for the muffle. She moved her head to show her disgust. She didn't care about him and his false promises at all anymore. Slowly the door opened to the room that she was being kept hostage in.

"Lead her to the place prepared. Make sure to cover her eyes so she won't become anxious." Hydro-Man covered her eyes with another foul-smelling cloth. He led her high; M.J. could feel herself rising in altitude. She heard a clink in front of her. She was then shoved into a metallic area. It was cold, very cold. The cloths were slipped off her. She stared into the darkness, but it was not so dark that she could not see her hands in front of her face. There were a few windows letting light across the way. Mary Jane ran up to the bars. She couldn't see much, but what she did see was not very nice to look at. In the cannery was a large tank of dark, but somehow clear, blue water. There was something in the water that was big, but she couldn't distinguish what it was. Suddenly she felt something metallic grab the back of her neck and pull her to the other side of the cage.

"It won't be long now." said the one who had grabbed her. Mary Jane fainted from the pressure put on her neck.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Spider-Man picked up his pace to a run. He needed to find someone, something that could help him find M.J. He was then blanketed again with the very harsh blinding light. This time, instead of just the light was a shadowy figure.

"Hello, Spider-Man. I am the Master Planner, but you know me by another name. I would like to have some fun before we meet face to face. Before you lie eight challenges. Are you ready?" As he finished speaking, Spider-Man fell through a trap door. He landed in a brightly lit room. It was a tan color and very hot. The floor was covered with sand that you could fall through if you didn't keep moving. The Master Planner's voice came over a PA system.

"Spider-Man, you will have one minute to find your spider tracer. You may begin now." The sand began swirling in towards the center of the room. Spider-Man searched frantically. Then the tracer popped up out of the sand a little ways ahead. He tried to leap towards it, but the sand was sucking him in. He ended up using his webbing to grab hold of it. As soon has his hand reached the tracer, the sand drained out of the room, and Spider-Man was drained with it. The room that he landed in was filled with ice pillars. The pillars had small wooden chests on the top of them. The Master Planner's voice came over the PA again.

"Your next challenge is to find the two blue jewels. Of course, I have made it quite harder. If you open a chest without a jewel, this arena will melt. You would most assuredly drown. By the way, there is no time limit. You may begin." Spidey felt relieved that there was no time limit, but yet he had no time to waste. As he stood there he closed his eyes. He let his instinct and spider sense fully guide him to the right chest. The first jewel was in the chest to the farthest right. This pillar was very short, so Spider-Man just leaned over on it to open the chest. He picked the jewel out of it and went on to find the next one. It was on a high middle pillar. Spider-Man went and retrieved that one, too. As he pulled it out of the chest a small beep went off. The doors to the next room opened.

Spider-Man walked through them not knowing what to expect. A maze lay before him. Once again the Master Planner's voice rang out.

"Spider-Man, your third challenge is to get through this maze within sixty seconds. Your prize will be at the end of the maze. When you retrieve the prize, you may go into the next room. I shall not this time let you know what happens if you fail. Good luck." So Spider-Man web swung around the maze very quickly and finished it with fifteen seconds left in the timer. Spider-Man opened the chest.

Humph, some prize. He got a small wooden plank that was very dark in color. It was shaped almost like a flattened bowler hat. He walked through the next door.

This room smelled largely of burnt rubber. The voice of the Master Planner came over the system again.

"Spider-Man, your next opponent is Shocker. I believe that he has some score to settle with you."

"It's payback time web-head. I'm gonna give 'ya a shock to 'da system." Shocker gave his gloves a slight charge.

"Look Shocker, I want to make this quick. I have more important things to get to." He started towards Shocker.

"On that we agree. Spider-Man this will be quick and painless—for me 'dat is." With one quick jump and a few kicks, Spider-Man quickly defeated Shocker.

Knocked out. I'll just leave him here for now. As Spider-Man was walking towards the door to the fifth challenge, a chest appeared. He opened it. Inside was a glob of something that was a bit sticky and tan.

Man, this Master Planner has an odd sense of prizes. He continued on. In the next room there were many doors. As he reached the middle of the room, the Master Planner's voice rang out again.

"Spider-Man, the next four challenges lie around in this room. You will likely find them most perplexing. Your next challenge lies within the door to your east. You shall have no time limit for these four for I want to see you suffer. You will see what lies ahead when you enter." Spider-Man went through the door.

Inside the circular room was many wardrobe mirrors. There was a single window up in the loft of the room. The moonlight shone upon a plaque on the wall. Spider-Man walked over to it. There was a strange encryption first and below was a riddle of sorts:

YargnitS
What lies behind
You
Now lies
Ahead
You who have seen
The fate of
Us all
Now see the
Fate
Of
EgaugnalroirriM

What the heck!? He stared at it for a little bit. What am I supposed to do with this? He then looked around at the mirrors. Then it dawned on him.

"Of course!" Spider-Man began to move the first mirror in front of the moonlight. The light shone just to the left of the mirror. Spidey tried to move the next mirror, but each time it moved back into it's original position. He moved it again, but held it with his foot this time. He examined the floor near the mirror. There were two groves in the floor. They were the same size as the jewels that he had acquired a little while ago so he put the jewels into the groves. He had no real use for the items so he might have well used them for something.

"Cool." Spidey was slightly amused. The next mirror wouldn't stay either so he used the glob of stickiness and a little webbing to hold it. He figured that he should save up his web fluid for later. The next mirror was quite easy to move. The final mirror Spider-Man kept in place with the piece of wood. As he placed the last mirror and everything was placed correctly, the plaque started to glow. The riddle disappeared and YargnitS moved down. Above appeared a new message:

A small box appeared out of the wall under the plaque. Inside was a piece of paper and a pen. As soon as Spider-Man took them the words at the bottom of the plaque flipped. It now read Sting Ray. Spidey quickly wrote it down and left the room. Just as Spider-Man reached the middle of the original room again The Master Planner started speaking.

"Did you like my mirror challenge, Spider-Man? The next challenge will be in the room to your north-west." This next room was shaped like an octagon and it had an eerie green glow to it. The floor had an earthy tone to it. Suddenly trees sprouted out of the ground all about him. Out of the darkness appeared a Black Panther. It then did something that startled Spidey. He couldn't believe this.

"Hello, Spider-Man," she jumped into a tree, claws outstretched into the bark, "I am Michele. I have been instructed to attack you." She walked ever closer to him. "I do not wish to kill, for you are an amazing creature, but I must." She jumped out of the tree with a ruthless air and landed on top of Spidey. He fell back and kicked at Michele. She slammed into the door of the room. She jumped at him again, this time biting and scratching. Spider-Man jeered to the left and went behind her. He shot a web line which made contact to the tip of her tail. Spider-Man swung her around in a web rodeo as she hit many trees. Finally she fell with a thump and Spider-Man started to walk away towards the door.

'Wait, Spider-Man," Michele barely choked out. "You should know what happened to the one you love."
