A Spiderman story
Chapter 6 - Jumping to new heights
"So you are starting to realise something is going on," Mai said. "Then what happens?"
"Well…I ran," Yugi said. "And ran, and ran, and ran…"
"Okay Yugi I get it! You ran."
"Don't interrupt! And I ran…until I came to an empty ally…"
---Flashback---
Ilent up against the ally wall as I looked down at the white mark on mu wrist, where the web had come out of.
'What's happening to me,' Yugi thought, but then he tuned his hand over and saw the bite mark that the super spider had given him. 'Wait a sec, I was bitten by a genetically engineered spider…this white stuff comes out of my arm that looks like a web…I have an early awareness of danger…'
Yugi looked up at a near by spider web and then turned to face the wall behind him.
"I wonder," Yugi said to himself.
First, Yugi placed both of his hands on the wall; he then reached out his left hand further up the wall and pulled himself up and did this with his right hand as well. Yugi kept on doing this until his feet were of the ground and started to crawl up the wall.
"Whoo-hoo!" Yugi yelled out, after he climbed halfway up the wall and looked down.
Once Yugi had climbed up to the top of the building, he looked out over the other building roofs.
"Let's see," Yugi said to himself. "I can climb like a spider, now lets see if I can jump like a spider."
Yugi walked to the edge of the building. He then turned around, ran over to the other edge and jumped off.
"Whoa!" he yelled as he jumped through the air and landed on the other building.
But Yugi didn't stop there, he kept on running, jumping and landing on the other buildings, until he came to a building with a wide road beneath it and the building top on the other side was much further down.
'What now?' He thought, before remembering he had his web.
Yugi looked across the road and saw a crane. He brought his arm back and then flicked his wrist out, with his palm facing upwards.
"Go web!" Yugi yelled, but nothing happened. "Fly!…Up, up and away web!…Shazam!" Yugi then tried it with his palm facing down. "It's time to duel…I mean web!…I summon the web!" Still nothing happened. Yugi tried again by putting his hand in different positions. "Go! Go! Go web go!"
---End of Flashback---
Mai fell down in laughter.
"I summon the web?" she laughed
"Hey, I was desperate, nothing was working!" Yugi replied. "Thank god it didn't work, those would have been terrible words to say! Any way…"
---Flashback---
I was just about to give up when…
'Oh this isn't working!' Yugi thought before he flicked his wrist out again, this time he had his palm facing upwards and his middle figures closed into his palm. But this time the web came shooting out. 'Yes! I did it, now how do I do it again?'
Yugi tried flicking his wrist in the same way and the web came out again.
'All right Yugi, this time concentrate. Aim for that crane over there.'
Yugi's eyes tightened as he aimed his wrist. He shot out the web and it stuck onto the crane. Then, Yugi jumped onto the building edge, while still holding onto the web and looked out over onto the building that he needed to jump onto.
'Okay, just swing from here over to that building down there, shouldn't be to hard…should it?' he thought before taking a deep breath.
"Tallyho."
Yugi jumped off the building and swung down to the other building across the road, whilst screaming. But when he got to the other side, he couldn't stop.
'Uh oh, how do you stop this thing!' he thought before crashing into the wall behind the building that he had landed on and fell down. "Ouch!"
After a long day of practicing my new powers, I returned home. Only to find that I forgotten I promised my grandfather I'd help paint the kitchen…
'Oh man, I completely forgot about this,' Yugi thought as he let out a sigh, while he stood in the painted kitchen.
Suddenly, Yugi heard shouting and screaming coming from Tea's house.
After Yugi had something to eat, that his mother had left him, he took out the trash bag out to the bin out back. The screaming and shouting still continued next door.
Suddenly, Tea stormed out of her back door. She was upset, but then saw Yugi.
"Were you listening to that?" she asked.
"No," Yugi replied. "Well, I heard, but I was just taking out the trash."
"I guess you can always hear us."
"Everybody shouts."
"Your family don't."
"They can scream pretty good sometimes. Listen Tea, about today, at school with Tristan…"
"You really freaked us out," Tea said as she walked closer to Yugi.
"I'm sorry. Is he okay?"
"He's just happy you didn't give him a black eye for graduation." Tea paused, smiled at Yugi and walked towards him. "So where are you going after you graduate?"
"Well…I want to move into the city. Hopefully then I'll get a job as a photographer and then work my way though college. How about you then?"
"I'm heading for the city too. I can't wait to get out of here. I want to…"
"What?" Yugi asked. "Come on, tell me."
"I want to…dance, on stage."
"Really?"
"Well that's perfect. When I walk past the dance class-room and see you in there, you're awesome."
"Really."
"Yeah, I cried like a baby when you did that ballet show in front of the class."
"Yugi, that was first grade."
"Well even so. Sometimes when you know people you can just see what's coming."
"Really? What do you see coming for you then?"
"I don't know," Yugi said after taking a second to think about it. "Whatever it is, it's something I've never felt before."
"And…what for me?"
"For you? Your going to light up Broadway."
"You know, you're taller than you look."
"I hunch."
"Don't."
Suddenly, Tristan pulled up outside of Tea's house in his car. After hearing the horn, Tea turns to see him.
"Hey Tea," he yelled. "Come take a ride in my new birthday present."
"I got to go," Tea said as she turned back to face Yugi.
"Bye," Yugi replied as she ran off.
"Oh my god, it's gorgeous!" Tea said as she ran towards Tristan and his car.
"Cool car," Yugi said as he watched her drive off from his back of his house.
Yugi walked up to his room. Once he was in, he saw the millennium puzzle on his table and put it on.
/- Yami, Yami, are you there? -/
/-- Yugi, it's about time, where have you been and why didn't you take the puzzle with you this morning? --/
/- I don't know, I guess I…forgot -/
/-- Okay, just don't do it again, you had me worried, I couldn't even reach you though our link --/
/- Couldn't reach me? Why? -/
/-- I don't know, it was like this force was blocking me --/
Yugi suddenly realised what it could have been.
/- Oh…I'm sure it's nothing Yami -/
/-- Okay then. Did you have a nice day today? --/
/- Oh yes-/
Later that night, Yami went back into the puzzle to do what ever he does, while I was looking at the Daily Bugle newspaper…
Yugi looked at the cars that were for sale so that he could impress Tea. But they were all way to expensive for him. But suddenly he came across an ad in the corner of the paper.
It said:
Need cash?
Amateur Wrestlers
30, 000 yen for just 3 minutes in the ring!
Colourful characters a must
'Wow, if I win that money with the help of my powers, I can get that car, so I can impress Tea.' Yugi thought as he picked up his notebook and wrote 'Costume Possibilities' on the top of the page. 'Lets see, it needs to be something to do with a spider…I don't think I need a utility belt, even though that would be cool…I defiantly need a symbol so that people know who I am. I think I should just have a spider as my symbol so that they know what my powers are…I wonder what colour I should make it. Think Yugi, think! Wait a sec; the spider that bit me was red and blue. Maybe it should be those colours on the suit!'
Yugi drew and drew for hours, throwing most of his ideas way. Until he finished the drawing, held it up to eye level and smiled.
"I've done it!" Yugi shouted out.
/--Done what Yugi? --/
/-Err…nothing. Listen, Yami, can I be on my own for a bit-/
/--But Yugi…--/
---End Flashback---
"Suddenly, Yami disappeared, it was weird, I could hear him wanting to come back out, but it was like I had the power to stop him from doing it!" Yugi said.
"Couldn't you do that before?" Mai asked.
"No, I didn't have the puzzle for long back then, but it was always the other way round. Well, moving on next came target practice…"

P.S. A lot of you have been giving me suggestions for another super-hero story. So, if I was to do another super-hero/YuGiOh story, which hero should I do and which character shall it be?
