jenscott: Yeah I noticed that as well I guess clones are 'disposable' characters since you can kill them off then just clone them again if you needed to lol. I hope to start Spdier-X sequel and another AGU fic at least soon. Yes this is the last arc, and you'll see what happens.

Doza: I don't have as much free time so updates are slower then they used to be. I wanted to go another route with X23 for the moment, I get tired of the same old stuff all the time.

Sean Malloy-1: I'm trying to write the final chapters of Exiles now, the AGU I will get back to most likely after this is finished, and those sequels will take time I NEED to FINISH a few fics before I start those.

Silver Warrior: Go to and you can read up on pretty much all Spider-Man villains there.

Danrilor: I always wanted those Goblins to team up in the comics cause you know they would be a major threat to the world, Spidey and to each other. You'll see what Shadow Spider fully is soon enough and a fe surprises as well. I always try to get the characterizations as close as I can.

Lady Suneidesis: Sometimes I do but I always get back to them after I take a small break. Glad you liked this and I hope you didn't wait too long for this chapter.

The Uncanny R-Man: Thanks I wanted to bring him in as a deal with the devil type of thing, plus those two would be in hell and I think it would be easier to get them back from him then Death herself. Yep looks like they'll have to move now anyway.

Ldypebsaby: LOL, Glad you really liked this one and yes it was a good idea they were planning on moving.

Lipana: Since that character is from an alternate future no I won't. Besides this is nearly over anyway.

THE NEW TEACHER

CHAPTER 45: THE GOBLIN GANG ATTACK

There were days when Peter thought the universe was against him and having four of the worst enemies he had, two of which were back from that dead, surrounding him was proof of that. So far his home was most likely burned to the ground, he just fell into a trap and he was most likely going to feel a lot of pain at the moment. It was safe to say this wasn't going to be a good day at all for him.

"Great, just great. Hey Norman, you giving out your secrets for coming back from the dead or what?" Peter shouted out at him.

The Green Goblin only grinned at Spider-Man, "Actually I had very little to do with that."

Peter looked at the other Goblin in gray, "So what are you then? Hobgoblin Version 2.0?"

"Just call me Cyber Goblin, it seems to fit with my new look anyway."

"Enough of this," Demogoblin was getting impatient and wanted to end this. He threw fire at the web-swinger but he jumped up and started to swing away. Peter needed to keep them on the move so they couldn't gang up on him and also to find somewhere to give him the advantage then just out in the open. Now where in New York that was he didn't know, so he figured he would try to lose them at least.

The Green goblin was leading the pack as they chased down their nemesis. He was heading for the area of the city with all the taller buildings and he was currently going to swing around a tall tower, "You two go around and cut him off!" Cyber and Hobgoblin took off the other way to try and get ahead of him.

"Think man think. You got four Goblins on your tail so come on and think of something," He figured he should come up with something given that he's fought the Sinister Six a few times alone but then again last time he got the Calvary. He was pretty sure they weren't coming this time but boy this would definitely be one of those times.

Maybe he could swing by Ben's place and hope to get his attention? Although if Ben was on his way to work then he was screwed. He was so lost into his thinking that he nearly missed his spider-sense as it warmed him for something coming from in front and high up. He dropped himself from his line just as a pumpkin bomb narrowly missed him. He shot another line and kept on moving, he knew stopping would mean that they would have a chance to really hurt him. Hobgoblin swore to himself about missing him and they managed to herd him back to the others.

Peter saw the coming enemies and then he swung straight up and let go. He let gravity pull him back down and fired two web-lines to either side. He used the momentum to swing forward in a slingshot maneuver under the two Goblins and launched himself forward at great speed to try and put some distance between the two of them. He didn't need to look back to know they were still on his tail but at least now he had some breathing room.

Back at the apartment building X23 was helping MJ down on the ground. The older woman was coughing a bit from the smoke and that slight injury wasn't too bad. On her it would have already have been healed but she knew enough from personal experience MJ's injury wasn't life threatening. The young clone looked up at the burning place that had been her first real home in her life. Her fists clenched as the thoughts of that stranger in the weird green mask and clothing had attacked them.

"Who was that?" She asked MJ sitting down next to her whispering as the on lookers started to come and the sirens of a fire truck could be heard.

"That was the Green Goblin, one of Peter's most dangerous enemies," MJ said back quietly to her, her lungs felt like they had charcoal in them and her head hurt but was otherwise fine. "He knows that Spider-Man and Peter are the same."

X23 let out a small growl at that. She was wondering how he knew where to attack them, now wearing a mask made more sense to her. When she asked about his other identity and why he did it and wore a mask and costume he explained it all. He told her about his uncle and his own personal promise to use his powers for selfless reasons, to help others. That was the exact opposite of what she had been taught.

She had killed and destroyed that was what they had taught her to do. But Peter had opened her eyes to another world and another way of doing things. That one phrase he said to her that 'With great powers comes great responsibility' clung to her mind. She didn't fully know what I meant but she knew one thing. She had to help him if she could.

She looked at Peter's wife; she was a strong woman this she had seen even though her strength was hidden inside. "I'm going to help him, can you call for help?"

Mary Jane Parker was surprised that she said that. True she was more then capable from what she had seen her do at the mansion and from Peter's telling of how he found her but Norman Osborn wasn't the kind to fool around with, "This is very dangerous and Peter can usually handle these things." She was actually worried about Peter but she didn't want to have to worry about the both of them, she was only fifteen for crying out loud but seeing the look in her eyes she had to guess she was stubborn and wouldn't take no for an answer.

"I'm going, you two have done a lot for me…more then anyone else…I need to help him. I made sure you're safe so now I'm going to make sure he's safe."

MJ had to smile a little at her bravado although still had on a worried look, "Alright I'll call Ben or someone at the mansion but please…be careful…and look after Peter."

X23 gave a small smile and nodded. She ran off in the direction that they had left. MJ saw a Payphone and hoped that the others would help out soon. She didn't know why but she had a very bad feeling about all of this. It wasn't Norman's style to just flat out attack like that and then just run away. As she dialed Ben's number a feeling of dread just came over her and wouldn't let go.

X23 raced through the streets, her small statue made it easier to move through the crowds she jumped onto the hoods of cars ignoring the protests and cursing of the drivers as she just kept on running. It was hard enough trying to tack a sent in the city but since Peter as Spider-Man swung through the air it was pretty much impossible to find his scent.

She needed to get to higher ground so she went down an alley. She saw a fire escape and she jumped off a dumpster grabbing the lower bar and pulled herself up in one smooth motion. She went to the very top of the building and looked out. Trying to sniff the air for anything. 'Okay where would he be?' She asked herself looking around. Then she saw and heard a small set of explosions in the distance and she knew she had her answer. She set off hoping to catch up to him someway as she raced over the rooftops.

Peter however had missed his jump and the blast he had been avoided carried him through the air. He landed hard and bounced off the metal roof of one of those water tower things that seemed to be over Manhattan for years. He hit the rooftop surface and groaned.

"Okay…That hurt like hell…" He knew he had to get up and start moving. He lost track how long he had been fighting this group, it might have been an hour but it felt like a day. He was tired, aching and hurting and she still had four of them. The trouble was they were all air born and were even though it seemed reluctantly working together. He had tried losing them but they would only cut him off and gang up on him more.

He knew he had to be running low on web fluid and he needed to get the hell out of here. He just barely managed to dodge another bomb. He was really sick of those things at this moment as the explosion lifted him nearly over the edge of the roof. He just managed to hand on and tried to pull himself up.

Cyber Goblin grinned readying a razor bat to take off Spider-Man's head but someone grabbed his arm, he looked and snarled at the sight of Hobgoblin and yanked his arm away from him. "We were supposed to bring him back alive remember?"

"Well why the hell should we? I saw kill him now and be done with it!"

Norman flew over to him and crossed his arms, "Well for one our ally brought you back from the dead so you own a pretty big dept to him…if he is a he…but also he said that what he would do to Spider-Man would be long, painful and a horrific death," Norman's grin on his mask only went wider now, "And what sounds better to you? A quick death or a longer one where he suffers?"

Cyber Goblin sighed, "Fine! You made your point."

"Are you three going to talk al day or help me capture this heretic?" Demogoblin spat at them as he was on his flaming glider running down Peter. They continued their assault warring the hero down. Peter had been trying his very best but he was tiring. Every time he had managed to knock one down or blind one with his webbing the other three picked up the slack.

But it had to end at one point and that was when Hobgoblin and his glider hit him from behind, the pain from his lower back shot up right into his spine and he was eventually dumped face first into a very thick and strong wall. Peter's vision blurred in that familiar place between consciousness and unconsciousness. He tried to fight it off knowing that if he blacked out he was finished, he tried to move but every muscle ached and protested even the smallest movement.

The four of them floated down to him all wearing sadistic grins on their faces. "Well it's about time, I say we get this over with and just knock him out, I got a gas bomb on me we cane use." Hobgoblin said looking through the combat pouch he carried with many of the weapons in it.

"Why don't we have some fun first?" Cyber Goblin asked them stepping forward. He flexed his cybernetic hand as electrical energy crackled over it. "We were supposed to bring him in alive…Didn't say anything about what kind of shape he was in."

The others didn't really see a problem in this and while he raised his fist to send an electrical punch down onto Spider-Man who was still struggling to get up a roar was heard. They all turned to see a girl in black leather pants, a dark shirt with no sleeves jump out of nowhere and with claws coming out of her hands sliced off Hobgoblins artificial hand and kicked him in the sternum. He fell onto his back screaming bloody murder at the young dark haired girl.

X23 was out of breath since it had taken all her training and physical abilities to get to him in time. But she hadn't known there would be three more enemies, but that was okay with her. That just meant more to hurt.

"You!" Demogoblin yelled at her his red demonic eyes taking on a rage of their own, "You will pay for your sins."

"I thought you didn't do children?" Norman asked him jumping up onto his glider.

"Believe me this is no child. I can sense the blood she has spilled, that of the righteous, the sinful, and the innocent. You're sins will be paid with your blood." X23 heard all of this and was taken back a bit. She wasn't sure how he knew that and his smell. It wasn't human. He smelled of sulfur and other scents. He had never met anything otherworldly before and she had hesitated long enough for Hobgoblin to throw out his gas grenade at her and Peter.

"X! Get out of here!" Peter shouted coughing from the gas before he blacked out.

X23 tried not to breath the gas and jumped out of the green smoke, and right into a punch by Demogoblin. She took it and countered with a few fists of her own followed by a double kick. She turned to see the cyborg on his feet looking at her with a very pissed off expression. "You think that was funny girly? Well take this!" He activated a new feature on his systems a sonic weapon that was supposed to disorient.

But for someone with enhanced senses like X23 it was also painful. Her ears felt like they were going to burst her eyes watering from the sound and she tried to remain upright. The Green Goblin saw how close she was to the edge of the building and swooped down slamming the wing of the glider into the girl's head.

He laughed watching her fall. X23's mind was still trying to clear itself and she saw she was falling she hit a air conditioner on the way down bouncing off of it and then onto a closed dumpster and landed in the dirty water of the ally. Her whole body was in pain and she was sure she broke a few things. She tried to get up but her left arm had been broke and she slipped back down onto the ground. The last thing she remembered was that voice laughing from the rooftops.

Then as soon as the darkness took her she later woke up to see a light over her head. She felt like she was in motion but she was sure she wasn't moving. "Hey she's coming around."

She jerked up when she felt restraints on her bringing back bad memories for her. "Hey calm down it's us, you're safe." She looked to see Hank the blue furry man she met before.

"Where?" Her voice was a bit hoarse and weak.

"You're on the X-Jet, we found you in that alley when we were looking for you and Peter." He explained to her.

"H…How?" She felt so weak at the moment and wondered if they gave her a sedative.

"I called them." She turned her head to see MJ sitting down next to her, she had on a bandage on her head from the injury. She explained how she called in Ben but all she had gotten was the answering machine so she had called the Institute. They not only said they would tell Ben but sent out a team to locate them.

They had picked up MJ as she told them what had happened. They used the police radio traffic to tell where the fight was last scene, there was damage all over the place and Rachel had sensed X23's mind in the alley. "What about…him?"

MJ looked down trying to keep a brave face but inside she was worried sick, "We…we didn't find him." She had to swallow a lump in her throat. All those times she had been worried about him when he went out it was times like this, when she knew he was in trouble and didn't know how he was doing that was the worse for her.

"I'm…sorry, I tried…but…" She wasn't used to failure, she wished she had tried harder. She had never fought men like that before. They were vicious, ruthless and powerful. She was sure she could have taken two of them but three would have been a stretch and all four…She felt like she failed the Parkers.

MJ took the young girl's hand in hers. "I'm sure you did all that you could do, and Peter has faced things as bad as this even worse. I have faith that he'll make it through this."

Then MJ felt a hand on her own shoulder and saw Logan there in his uniform, "Hey Peter may be a bit of a wiseass but he's good to the kids and well…he's a good man."

"I think what Logan is trying to say," Kurt said smiling a little, "Is that Peter has friends now and we'll all help with finding him."

MJ looked at all the others and smiled her thanks to them all feeling tears threatening to well up. "Thank you all…I hope we can." She looked down as X23 squeezed her hand back looking into her eyes with an encouragement that they would find Peter and they would get him back.
