Whew! Well the choice was a toughie, but I finally decided the winner to this fight. Read on to find out!

And now, the responses! (I haven't done these in a while. Oops)

anacsadder- Yay for squeeing! You never know when Peter will admit to Aunt May who he really is. But I can tell you one thing for sure: His arm will return and trigger the origin of another Spidey villain! Dun dun DUN! I'm so happy that you love Otto enough to read this story like you are. You're, like, the only one actually reading every chapter and I love that.

Octopus Knight: Your last review has me worried now. Well, I can't hide what has already been posted. Read on to find out the winner…You might not like it…

Now, the moment you all…well, some of you…have been waiting for! THE EPIC CONCLUSION TO OCTAVIUS VS. GRIEVOUS!


Octavius slammed a metal claw down on top of Grievous's head, denting it slightly. He was enraged. Grievous was like a blood-thirsty animal, attacking and even killing anyone who stands in his way. His new ally, Spider-Man, was in critical condition ever since the cyborg chopped most of his arm off with a lightsabor blade and tried to drown him in the ocean. Harry Osbourne, the new Green Goblin, was in a state of a coma-like shock after the alien tried to push him out his own window and watch him pummel to his death. Dozens of innocent bystanders were also dead and Octavius blamed himself.

'If only I had gotten here sooner.' He thought to himself in shame. 'I would've been able to save these innocent people…'

'Now is not the time for despair…!' a tentacle cried in his mind. 'Now is the time for fighting…'

Octavius looked up, rage filling his soul again. His arms were right. Now was the time to make up for all the evil he had done. Now was the time for redemption!

Grievous had other plans for the eight-limbed hero, however. His mind was filled with darkness. All the evil he had done was making him stronger, more powerful than anyone or anything in the galaxy. The darkness was his ultimate weapon.

He felt the Dark Side of the Force flowing through him like blood, seeping through his fingers and into his almighty blades, forged for the purity of the galaxy. His eyes shone like the fires of Mufasta, with the hatred and destruction of the Sith fused in. His ultimate goal wasn't to toy around anymore. Now he needed the crimson blood to pour from Otto's veins. He needed death.

They were both tired. Sweat beads stood on Doc Ock's brow and drenched his hair. The general's exoskeleton has dented this way and that, with oil stains trickling from his joints. They were both gasping for air (A/N Grievous wasn't coughing like in episode three, for all of you who thought that was painfully annoying) and their limbs fell lifelessly from their bodies. They both knew that they would accomplish nothing if they simply stood there, lifeless, waiting for their opponent to strike. So they sprung into action, as much as it killed their sore and tired bodies.

Octavius's tentacles whacked Grievous hard in the head, but the general countered with two slashes of lightsabors, which hit Otto in the shoulder. He cried out in pain. Blood poured out of his shoulders as he collapsed to the ground. He couldn't take this much longer. He needed to finish this thing off immediately.

An antemantium uppercut attacked Grievous and knocked him off his feet, giving Otto the advantage. His arms grabbed the cyborg by all its limbs and slammed it down on the concrete again. Grievous cried out not in pain, but in pure frustration and evil.

He opened his heart to the darkness once again, letting it consume him. Darkness was his weapon and he needed it now more than ever. He used all of his energy to drop his lightsabors to the ground, shoot out his four arms, and concentrate. Ock found this to be the perfect time to strike until he felt hot, fiery pain shoot through his body. He struggled to open his eyes as he shrieked in terror. Grievous just smiled. He was using the Force Lightning, something not even his master could teach him.

'It must be the darkness.' He thought to himself in his evil bionic mind. "Yes…the power of the darkness! MY DARK POWER SHALL CONSUME THIS WORLD!"

He laughed a laugh so evil and filled with hatred for all living things. Octavius couldn't concentrate on attacking or anything for that matter. His tentacles were crying out in pain and horror in his mind, giving him the nastiest of migraines. Out of his own mouth he was doing the same thing, but not because of the pain. He was accustomed to pain.

No, he was crying for his loss. He was dying. He had failed. He failed Peter, he failed the city, he failed Rosie. He had failed himself. He took one last look at his children, the four creatures who stood with him all the way. They were truly his gift, even if they were his curse. He cried out to them in his mind.

'I'm sorry, children!' he screamed through his thoughts. 'I have failed you, as well! I just wish I could…do more…!' He was weakening. Death was upon him. He couldn't hear anything but the screams in his own head and even the world around him began to darken. It was over for him.

Before he even knew what was going on, one of his real arms grabbed a lightsabor from the ground. It was ignited and all he saw was a slash of blue light, a shriek of terror so horrible it could've only come from the pits of Hell itself, and then all went dark.

His body was unconscious, but his tentacles saw the whole thing. Otto, in a last stand against the creature, reached out to grab Anakin's lightsabor and stabbed the creature in his chest. The creature let out a scream that sounded like nails on a chalkboard, and then its body was consumed by fire. He truly looked like a demon from the underworld with the embers spewing from its eyes. The electricity stopped and the creature's body fell limply to the ground in pieces. Dr. Otto Octavius had won the fight and saved the world. The arms nodded to each other happily and carried their Father home.
