He was hidden on the roof of a small building. He could hear the sounds of these grounded vehicles honking their horns. How could they get anywhere if these vehicles didn't fly? He pondered on this for a very short while until he caught hold of his curiosity. He had a mission and needed to accomplish it.
He pulled a small, thick disc from his robe pocket and pressed a tiny button. At first there was a small flicker of blue light, then a complete hologram of a dark, sinister man.
"Lord Grievous," the Emperor said in a dark, muffled voice. "You have not terminated the Jedi yet. What are you waiting for?"
"Master, you must've set the wrong coordinates." His apprentice responded. "I am on an uncharted and rather small planet called Earth. There are no Jedi here."
"Well then find the nearest ship and fly to Dagobah. You're a good enough pilot."
"No, Master, you don't understand." Grievous said with a hint of worry in his hoarse voice. "This planet is very primitive. They have no flying vehicles."
"No flying vehicles?" Palpatine echoed. "Where is this planet? I wish for it to be the first target for our new Death Star."
"Master, this planet is very… astray. I have never heard of Earth before and…the presence of the Force is gone."
"This is truly a difficult situation you've gotten in,"
"Master, I beg to differ, but it was you who has gotten me into this situation, not I."
The Emperor gave his apprentice a look of fury and held his hand out. His thumb, index, and middle fingers outstretched, he began chocking the cyborg with the legendary Force. Grievous held his neck in agony and nearly dropped his trans-dimensional communicator.
"Never question me, young apprentice." The dark lord mumbled. "You are but a student and I am the Master. NEVER question me!" He then released the former general.
"Now, I am afraid you are permanently trapped in this parallel dimension, Grievous." The Emperor said. "There is nothing more either of us can do."
"There is one, Master," the cyborg suddenly stated. "A humanoid by the name of 'Harry Osbourne' is willing to assist me. He, too, has a portal into other galaxies and agrees to send me back to our universe."
"Then why haven't you been sent back yet?" Palpatine asked, getting impatient.
"Harry Osbourne told me that he would only assist me if I destroy another human-like creature: a being by the name of Spider-Man."
"I have never heard of such a species." The Sith Lord thought out loud. "Well, then hurry up, apprentice. Defeat the enemy and anyone else who stands in your way!"
A certain humanoid with robot arms entered Grievous's mind as he responded, "Yes, Master, I will." and turned off his device. The Emperor and Darth Vader stood in the control room on the nearly completed Death Star. Palpatines other apprentice approached him and asked, "Is it not more convenient to send me to exterminate the Jedi?"
"You are young and impatient, Darth Vader. It will be a long ammount of time before you can do a mission on your own...especially after your embarresing defeat by your former Jedi master." And the Emperor walked off.
Vader watched him exit the room, then angrily used the Force to cause a nearby Medical Droid to explode.
Doc Ock climbed up the walls of the Empire State Building with fury. He had just finished bringing the injured Spider-Man to the hospital and the doctors there starred at him in absolute horror, as if it was he injured Peter.
'They just can't accept change, can they?' he thought.
'Not if the one changing is a former villain…' an arm responded.
'But I can change!' Otto cried in his mind. 'I can! They just…won't accept it.'
'That is how the people of this city think…' another said. 'They hate you for trying to do good…'
'They are looking for fear…'
'They want you to be evil again…'
"Shut up!" he cried out loud. "I will not have this! Stop trying to seduce me! I will never become that monster I once was! I'm doing what Rosie would want…just like you said."
'…We are sorry…'
"Yeah, well, stop it, alright?"
'Yes, Sir…'
The five heroes climbed up until they reached a small balcony. Otto sat down and let his tentacles rest.
"But what was that thing?" he asked out loud again.
'It certainly was a unique creature…'
'Perhaps from an alternate galaxy…?'
"An alien?" Octavius thought. "No, that's impossible. We are alone in this Universe. Every good scientist knows that."
'But…perhaps it is an alien…?'
"Yes, perhaps it is? It's possible, but definitely not probable! Aliens in today's world are as scarce as goblins and talking animals! They just do not exists!"
'Then what do you think it was…?'
Octavius thought hard. He, in fact, didn't know what he thought it was. "Perhaps…it was…a robot." He said at last. "Yes, a robot created by the government to eliminate Spider-Man."
The tentacles were silent for a long time until, 'Why would the government want to kill their hero…?'
"Well...because…" the doctor buried his face in his hands. "Oh, I don't know. It probably was an alien from another universe. I'm just…so tired right now."
'As are we…'
'Let us sleep, Good Doctor…'
'You will need the energy…we all will…'
"Thank you, children." Otto said gratefully. "You are not the most well-behaved kids, but you're the best a…misunderstood doctor could ask for." He smiled and stood up.
"Let us go back to our shelter," he said. "I'm really tired." And with that, the great Otto Octavius climbed over to their secret shelter on the rooftop of a small bar and slept, through all the noise and commotion of the busy city.
Hm...yeah sorry I was kinda bored and not really motivated to move on. I really want to get tothe fight between the web-slinger and the cyborgic Sith,which ultimately results in the birth of a new Spidey villain, but with no responses...why bother? Anyways, next chapter: SPIDEY VS. GRIEVOUS! No Doc, no Ock, no interferences! Just an all-out battle royal! See ya then...and PLEASE respond!
