Ch.7
At first, the group of sinisterly evil people just stood there, admiring their victory over Spider-Man's mental state; Spider-Man knew he was going to have to fight for his life, and he didn't think he could do it. The mortal enemies just stood there, staring at each other. Spider-Man felt the sweat soak into his mask. Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, The Vulture, Electro, Mysterio, Kraven, and Sandman! They were all here! Spider-Man prayed this was just a heck of a bad dream, but it wasn't. He gulped and thought, I'm dead.
The seven super villains were enjoying this better than they had enjoyed anything in a long time. "W-what's the matter, Gobby? C-couldn't beat me on your own? You don't seem to be the type that would team up." Spider-Man said, trying to bide time. "Don't try that on me, Spider-Man! I only teamed up so that I was sure you'd be dead by the morning!" He crackled. Spider-Man looked at all of them. If he knew thought he was gonna die, he'd lose the fight. Spider-Man thought positively. I have to have faith! I have to keep on trying!
"Okay, boys. Let's get that meddlesome wall-crawling wimp once and for all!" The Green Goblin commanded. Spider-Man backed up, not knowing what he should do. They charged together, leaving Spider-Man on the edge. He peeked below him. There was an old warehouse on that pier! Perfect….
"Hi'ya, Bug Face!" Sandman smiled. Spider-Man boosted up his confidence. He wasn't going down without a fight, and he was sure this fight was going to be fought by The Amazing Spider-Man! "Way to roll out the welcome wagon! You shouldn't have!" Spider-Man said, showing them he wasn't afraid (a lot). "Oh, it was our pleasure, Spider-Man!" The Green Goblin chuckled. "The new and improved 'Sinister Six' were all I needed to finish you off! Sure, we couldn't beat you alone, but together we shall triumph!" "Yeah, yeah, I've heard that one before!" Spider-Man moaned, acting bored. The Goblin threw a pumpkin bomb at him, screaming with fury. Spider-Man spun a web on it at the right time and swung it back around to them. As it exploded, he took the opportunity to dive off the building and head into the warehouse below. He entered the old, rickety door and climbed on top of the crates stacked up on one another. He sat there and waited until his buddies showed up.
"Where is he?" Sandman yelled. "Split up! He couldn't have gone far!" The Vulture yelled. Spider-Man peeked over. The Sandman was right under him. He quietly lifted up a crate and threw it. The Sandman heard a CRUNCH sound as Spider-Man cursed. He missed! The Vulture had see it coming and flew to catch it in time. "That wasn't very sporting of you, Spider-Freak!" Mysterio laughed as the guild of evil geniuses huddled back together. "Yeah, and like seven to one is sporting!" Spider-Man yelled back as he ran down the aisles of boxes. "Great going! You let him get away!" They cursed at each other. Doctor Octopus and The Green Goblin just starred at each other. "Shut up, all of you!" The Green Goblin yelled. "Now, how you managed to ruin my completely foolproof plan is beyond me! But know one thing; Spider-Man will not leave here alive."
Okay, Spider-Man thought. If they split up, I can take them down, one by one. God, I hope this works! First, he spotted Mysterio. He seemed to be walking around, looking for something he dropped. Spider-Man built up his jump and pounced on him. "Hey, Playmate!" He said. But that was not Mysterio at all! Spider-Man went right through him and crashed onto the concrete floor. "Oh man! My head!" He moaned. Mysterio was hysterically laughing above him. "Yeah yeah, stop before you get an asthma attack!" He moaned He got up and punched Mysterio against a wall. It came crashing down on him. One down, six to go!
Spider-Man heard a loud roar. He looked up to see a black panther! That's totally Kraven's style! "Kraven! Man, we have to stop meeting like this! And, look! You've got a little kitty!" "Do not mock me, Spider-Fool! The hunt lives on, and I have come for your head!" Spider-Man started running from the large beast. "Aw! Thing is, without my beautiful, handsome head, I wouldn't be able to kick your ass!" Spider-Man laughed as he leaped over the large cat and onto a stack of crates in the large warehouse. He lifted a crate up and called, "Come 'er, nice kitty!" Spider-Man instantly dropped the open side of the crate onto the cat. But, Kraven knocked him off and tackled the struggling costumed hero. "You are a fool to try and challenge me!" Kraven taunted. "Uh…newsflash! You're the one that ambushed me, ring a bell?" Spider-Man decided that it was time to use his advantage. He webbed Kraven's boots together, then leaped up onto the ceiling and pinned him there. "Look! It's a piñata!" He laughed. "Alright, so that's two…"
Spider-Man ducked behind a corner. He peeked around one end, to try and see if he could use stealth in this shadowy place, but someone had already taken that tactic. "Spider-Man! Too late! I already made the plan to hide in the dark!" Spider-Man stood there and scratched his head. "Electro?" He asked. Electro looked puzzled. "You were expecting someone else, freak?" Spider-Man stuck out his finger. "Number one, Sparky, is that you're the freak. And two, is that yeah, I was expecting someone else. Maybe one of the smarter members of this stupid gang your in, not including the ones I've thrashed already." Electro blasted bolts, left and right at him. Spider-Man ran, mocking him all the way. But once he'd gotten to the corner, Sandman quickly showed up in front of him. This is when Peter Parker's science wisdom came in handy. All right, he thought. I've got to time this one perfectly!
Another one of Electro's blasts came from down the hall. Spider-Man, at the very last second, leaped up onto the wall. The blast hit Sandman instead. Now, as the scientist behind the mask figured, the heat from Electro's bolt rapidly turned the Sandman to glass! Spider-Man had also taken the time while he was up on the wall to spy a water valve. And, as it is known, water and electricity don't mix. Spider-Man quickly hopped over to it and started spinning the wheel, not giving Electro a second to realize what had happened. The rush of water came as a ton of bricks, short-circuiting the idiot. "I really don't get it Electro! I beat you the same way every flipping time! You are the dumbest villain I have had the pleasure to pound."
Spider-Man felt so victorious. He stood over Electro prouder than the national bird. Then, his spider-sense started to go crazy. Spider-Man ducked just in time. The Vulture swooped above, just missing him. Spider-Man decided he'd try a trick he did once before. He hopped onto The Vulture's back and blinded him with webbing. "Yee-haw!" He cheered as he navigated the large birdman. "Now, I'd usually have a big, snappy, comeback. But…" He said as he hopped off the man. He watched as the Vulture glided straight into the stonewall. "…I didn't have the time!" Spider-Man dusted his hands together. "Alright, now just Doc Ock and the Goblin." He counted aloud. "Ah, but it isn't just us, at all," He heard Doc Ock say. He looked up and saw them, the Green Goblin, hovering on his glider, and Doctor Octopus, hoisted up by his metal arms. "We are not your average super villains…" "Oh, there are average ones, now? I'm sorry, evil is spelt out the same to me." Spider-Man interjected. "We are your two deadliest enemies! The ones that can really hit you hard. This is the end for you, Spider-Man! Your deadliest foes untie!" Spider-Man pretended to yawn. "When you call yourself 'deadliest', you say that without modesty, right? Because if you were saying it matter-of-factly, you should use a different tone." They charged him, yelling "ARRRGGGGHHH!" Spider-Man dove out of the window, shattering the glass, in order to avoid a hard blow. "Argh? Nice battle cry, losers." Spider-Man laughed, but inside he was shaking. He knew Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin were, in fact, two of the worst super villains he'd ever faced.
Spider-Man decided he'd take this away from the water. He spun a web and made the two lunatics chase after him. He was swinging faster and faster, switching hands on each new web line. "You are just delaying the inevitable!" Doctor Octopus yelled to him. Spider-Man laughed and replied, "You make that sound like it's a BAD THING!" But, the two sly monsters behind him tackled him and pushed him through an office window. He rolled with pain until he saw where he was. "The Daily Bugle? You have got to be kidding me! How many times am I gonna wind up in this place?" And, to top that entrance off, he'd crashed into J. Jonah Jameson's office!
"Spider-Man? Jesus Christ! I just finished paying off the damage you caused! Now you're back! You're doing this on purpose, you're trying to push my buttons!" He accused. "Oh, yeah! I planned to crash in here with two escaped prisoners from the psycho ward! Wait...where are they?" He asked. The two super villains had vanished. "They did crash in here, right?" Jameson didn't answer-just stayed extremely angry. Spider-Man ran out of the office door to see if they'd gone by there. No. Nothing. They were gone!
Spider-Man leaped out the already broken window of J.J.'s office and crawled onto the rooftop. There, his spider-sense tingled rapidly. He turned around. No one was there. "Okay, this is way over the weird limit here." He said aloud. Then Doctor Octopus and The Green Goblin appeared out of nowhere. "Wow! I'm impressed! Mysterio must have taught you some magic tricks, 'cause you've hammered the disappearing and reappearing act very well!" "Spider-Man, you may have beaten the others, but I, Doctor Otto Octavious, always have a plan b!" "Yeah, well so do I!" Spider-Man lied. "Meet, Plan B!" Spider-Man couldn't believe it! Out of nowhere came the most sinister villain- even worse than Doc Ock or the Green Goblin. It was him, in his old costume! Venom! "Geeze! How many f&#ing twists are gonna happen within an hour?" Spider-Man said, pissed. "So, Spider-Man, what is your Plan B?" The Green Goblin crackled. Spider-Man gulped, looking at all of the three criminal masterminds, then answering the question by announcing; "Stop using Plan A!"
