Nathol: Well thanks I appreciate it, and yes I did, I was trying to think of a good line near the end for him to say and that was just perfect for it.

Supergirlhv: Well I hope this summer is good for ya now that you're out.

Beastdog: My guess...pray.

IolantheDuCoudray: So you know BlackRose too huh? Nice and thanks I really appreciate it.

Red Witch: Oh yeah a major fight is going to happen.

Emmett Thompson: Well I just really like the quote then a reference.

Dac173: Yeah I know all about Kaine and Ben and all of that, in fact I use that site often for the characters, it's where I got the real names of those villains from. And after that whole clone saga I'm not surprised Marvel is staying clear of clones, although I did like Ben Reilly.

The Uncanny R-Man: Yeah you're right, well he may not screw him over but you will see some in fighting.

celtcath74: Oh you can expect Wolverine and Shadowcat to get involved, maybe a few others too.

RealityDreamer: Well did I lie, of course not. And if you're bored don't forget to check out the other stories while you wait of other updates.

THE NEW TEACHER

CHAPTER 24: SHOWDOWN AGAINST THE SINISTER SIX


The Green Goblin came closer to Peter and pulled out a pumpkin bomb. "I've been waiting for this Spider," He said and drew back his arm, only to have it grabbed by one of Doc Ock's tentacles.

"Hold it." He demanded. "Why should you get to finish him off, I should be the one to do it."

"This is my plan, it worked so I get to do it." The Goblin said to him pulling his arm free.

"Please!" The Doc said in disgust. "I only went along with this for the chance at revenge, I only followed this plan of yours only out of curiosity, do you think that I would allow someone else to control me or to take away my rightful revenge?"

"Hey what about the rest of us, don't we get a say in this?" Mysterio said to both of them. "We got our own beef to pick with him." He said pointing at Peter.

"Hey don't I get to say anything about any of this?" Peter asked.

"NO!" They all said at once, and continued to bicker between each other on who gets to finish of Spider-Man.

Peter was actually glad for this. Maybe with all of this he could capitalize on this, but first he had to figure out how to save the kids, he looked around then noticed something, or someone he should have known was going to show up. Kitty.

He could see her partially phased through a box and she noticed him looked at her. She motioned for him and then to the others arguing, then to her, the cage and brought her hands to her neck then slowly took them away.

If Peter read it right he figured she wanted him to distract them while she got the collars off. Peter couldn't think of any other way and it was the best plan, hell the only plan they got. He nodded his head then back flipped to the top of the cage.

"Hey, are you guys going to be at this all day? I got Venom and Carnage to deal with at five, and then Shocker and Rhino at seven, so could move this along please?" Spider-Man said to them.

"How about this gentlemen? First to get the Spider has the honor of killing him?" Doc Ock said to them. They all looked at each other then turned to Spider-Man. They all voiced their agreement.

Peter sighed. "Ya gotta love a consensuses." He said then jumped as a tentacle, electric bolt, and a razor bat were thrown at him at the same time. The students watch in amazement as he dodged and fought his way though, and around the six villains.

"We got to help him." Sofia said watching this.

"But how?" Eve said looking at the collars.

"Maybe I could help with that." They looked behind them and saw Kitty phasing through the bars.

"Miss Pryde?" Fiona said surprised, like the others.

"Quiet." Kitty warned them. "Look I'm going to phase these things off then all of you out of this and through the wall, the others are outside waiting so be quiet while Spider-Man distracts them." They all nodded, and Kitty slowly phased the collar off of David first.

It came off and since it didn't explode, she went to work on the others. After a minute all of the young mutants were freed, then out of the bars and soon out the wall.

Peter had kept and eye on them as best he could, which wasn't easy. "Come on guys, at least when you had Hobgoblin in the group you had someone who could aim." He taunted.

"That copycat?" Screamed The Green Goblin firing more bombs at him from his bat glider. Peter was glad Norman had a sore spot for the Hobgoblins, and also for the fact that he just saw the kids just leave through the wall.

What he didn't see was Vulture tackle him from behind in midair and they both landed hard on the ground. Peter groaned and slowly tried to get up only to be grabbed by the neck by Doc Ock's tentacles.

"Well looks like I win." Doc Ock said grinning.

"Hey he's mine! I got him first!" Vulture shouted out to him.

"Too bad for you, you couldn't keep him." He shouted back, and then the wall of the building blew inwards. When the smoke cleared they saw several X-Men by the entrance. Currently there was Nightcrawler, Marvel Girl (Rachel Grey), Wolverine, Havok, and Beast there. Behind them with the children were Rogue, Gambit and Kitty.

"Mind if we crash this party?" Logan said to them.

"Not at all guys, but could someone get this guy off of me first?" Peter said to them struggling against the tentacle on him. A blast from Havok took the metallic tentacle dead on whipping it from Peter.

"I warned you Spider-Man, no help." Green Goblin said grinning, and pulled out a detonator then he looked at the cage as he was about to press it. "WHAT? Where did they go?"

"Over there behind the X-Men." Electro shouted while pointing.

"Great plan you idiot, why did I ever listen to you?" Dr. Octopus shouted to Norman.

The front group of X-Men charged the villains. "Nuts to this, if you want to lead so bad Octavius then go ahead, I'm out of here." Green Goblin said to him and flew up and blasted a hole in the roof and went through it.

"Not so fast Goby!" Spider-Man said and webbed his glider going after him.

Wolverine charged at Mysterio only to go right through him, and then suddenly several other versions of him appeared. "The problem with heightened senses is that they can be fool more easily in certain ways." The master of illusion said.

Wolverine tried to fight off them, but his attacks only found nothing and then he would get kicked or punched from behind or the side. He tried to sniff him out, but one of the Mysterios saw this and threw something onto the ground. A cloud of smoke enveloped Logan and all he could smell was a very nasty smell, he also couldn't smell anything else.

"Great." He muttered and leaped at another one.

Havok was trying to blast The Vulture but he was too agile and fast in the air for him to get a decent shot off. "Come down here and fight old man!"

Nightcrawler was teleporting all over trying to dodge all the electric attacks of Electro. "Stand and fight you blue fuzzy monkey!" Max yelled at Kurt, he then teleported onto a beam overhead and smiled down at him.

"And why would I do that?" Kurt asked him. "I'm quite comfortable up here."

"That's what you think." He said and sent a charge into the metal girder close to him, which acted as a conductor and the beam Kurt was on was connected to it, and at the rate electricity travels, Kurt didn't dodge it in time and was zapped and started to fall.

Electro watched grinning as the incapacitated Kurt fell to his demise but at the last minute he stopped and floated there. "What the hell?" Electro shouted.

"He is a friend of mine and I don't like my friends getting hurt." He heard a very pissed off female voice say behind him. He turned to see an angry Marvel Girl standing behind him. "And this is what happens to those that hurt my friends." She said to him and raised a hand.

Electro found an invisible force send him flying back into a group of boxes. He groaned once before falling into unconsciousness.

"Well that's one down." Rachel said and went to check on Kurt when she found herself lifted into the air by a large amount of moving sand and was rammed into a metal girder. The sand enveloped her and she couldn't breath, she send out a powerful telekinetic blast and scattered the sand.

She fell to her knees gasping for air, and saw the sand reform and Sandman with his lower torso and arms still in sand form. "My turn little lady." He said and formed two giant mallets with each arm and was about to crush her when a blast of energy nailed him in the chest.

He was sent to the other side of the warehouse into the darkness and all was heard was a huge crash sound. Rachel looked to see Havok with an arm raised and she also saw Vulture lying unconscious nearby. "So you finally got him huh?" She said smiling slowly getting to her feet. "Where's Hank?"

Havok point to the side and she saw him fighting Dr. Octopus. He was dodging all the arms as best he could but his size was too good a target and Rachel saw him take two tentacles to the torso before they forced him into a wall and pinned him there.

"You know I respect a man of science." Doc Ock said to Hank. "It's truly a same to end the life of a brilliant man like yourself."

Hank with a small trail of blood from his mouth coughed. "It's a pity you yourself couldn't use your brilliance for good."

"I did once." He said evenly, then he raised his arms as two tentacles moved into position. "This is where it got me." He was about to strike when he felt a pressure in his mind and screamed out clutching his head in pain then fell to the floor out cold.

The tentacles holding Hank went limp and he was released. "Thanks Rachel." He said to the redheaded telepath behind the body of Dr. Octopus. He saw Havok coming over with Kurt who was leaning on him. "How are you Kurt?" Hank asked him.

Kurt muttered something in German before answering him. "I think some of my fur was singed off."

"Hey where's the web-swinger?" Wolverine asked dragging the body of Mysterio behind him. They could see the dome shattered open and his head in it with a few bruises on the face.

"Still outside I think, so you finally got him huh?" Alex said grinning.

Logan growled a little then dumped him. "Yeah, it too a little trial and error but I got him."

They went out side and looked up as they saw the students and the other three adults looking up in the sky. They saw Spider-Man on the glider with the Goblin in a fist fight flying overhead.

The two adversaries were grappling with each other. "You've gone too far this time Norman!" Peter shouted at him.

Norman only grinned at him. "You mean like when I killed the love of your life, what was her name again, oh yes Gwen wasn't it? Or how about when I made MJ lose your unborn child, Parker?"

"You monster!' Peter yelled out and threw a few punches but Norman hit him in the stomach and threw him off the glider.

"Until next time Peter." He said and flew off laughing.

Peter managed to stop his fall by webbing the side of a building and landing on the side. He looked over but the Goblin was long gone by then. Peter sighed to himself and joined the others on the ground. "Everyone all right?"

"Well not too badly, do you have to face those guys all the time?" Hank asked him.

Peter shrugged. "Well not usually all together like this, but sometimes yeah I do."

"My condolences." Hank said to him. Peter laughed a little at the joke.

Josh walked up to Spider-Man grinning madly. "Man I can't believe you came to save us man, that is so cool! How did you know where to find us?"

'Uh oh, think fast Spidey.' Peter thought to himself. "Uh Peter Parker got a package from the Green Goblin for me, since he knows how to find me for emergencies." Peter said, which wasn't far from the truth.

"Yeah Kitty mentioned something like that." Rogue said looking at Peter. Sirens could be heard in the distance.

"Well that's my cue to leave, the cops and me don't really get along." Peter said to them.

"Don't worry we'll baby sit the others inside until they cops can take them away." Alex Summers said to him.

Peter nodded and leaped up onto the side of a building then started to swing away. The others started to go back into the warehouse to check on the villains. Rogue looked to where Spider-Man was swinging. "See you in class Peter." She said silently to herself with a small smile.
