A Spiderman Story
Chapter 24: We are who we choose
-Flashback-
"Ah ha! There they are!" Yugi said as he landed on a building's rooftop with his costume on and looked out over the Domino Bridge. "The Goblin, Tea…and a cabin full of children? What's that about?" he said as he saw the goblin blowing up the end station of a passenger cart rail and holding the cable up with a passenger cabin full of innocent children and some adults, as Tea stood stranded on the top of the bridge in her pyjamas, pink dressing gown and slippers. "I've got to get over there and fast! But it's so far; I'll never make it there in time! Unless…" Yugi thought out load before he looked at the two flagpoles beside him and had an idea.
Yugi quickly drew two webs out of his arm, which each attached to the top of the flagpoles. Then, while still holding on to the two webs, Yugi jumped down the side of the building as the two flag poles started to bend down into his direction, as he used all his strength to pull them back.
"Ha! The old sling shot technique, genius!" Yugi said out loud. "Just hope I don't crush into anything again or I over shot my target and end up a one wet spider! Okay…I here I go!" Suddenly Yugi weakened the strength in his arms while still hold out the webs and went shooting up like a slingshot.
"Wwwwweeeee! I'm flying!" Yugi yelled in excitement as he flew through the air, nearing the bridge.
Once Yugi reached the bridge, he shot out a few other webs as he twisted, turned and looped-t-loop around the bridges supported until he landed on his feet on the top of the supports just a above the bridge's road.
"Spiderman!" the Goblin replied as he stood the higher support in the bridge, way above Spiderman/Yugi.
"The one and only!" Spiderman/Yugi replied as he looked up at him.
"This is why only fools are heroes. Because you never know when some lunatic will come along with the sadistic choice," the Goblin said as he held Tea by the neck, with her hanging on to his arm, in his left hand with her hanging over the water, screaming, and in his right was a long cable that lead to the hanging cable cart mostly full of terrified children in his right. "Let die the woman you love," he said as he held up Tea a little more as one of her slippers fell off into the water.
"My slipper!" Tea yelled as she continued to scream.
'Women,' Yugi briefly thought to himself as he shock his head before snapping back to reality.
"Or, suffer the little children!" the Goblin said as the rinsed his right arm, which had the cable in it.
"Spiderman! Save us!" the children in the cabin screamed as he saw them on the end of the cable.
"Make your choice Spiderman! And see how a hero is rewarded!"
"Don't do it Goblin!" Spiderman/Yugi yelled.
"We are who we choose to be! NOW CHOOSE!" the Goblin yelled as he let go of Tea and the cable at the same time.
"NO!"

"OH RA!" Mai yelled as she jumped up in shock. "That is a tough choice! Who did you choose to save?"
"Oh Mai," Yugi replied. "There was no choice…"
-Flashback-
Yugi ran to the end and took a huge jump off the bridge, catching Tea in the process. Suddenly, Yugi drew a web and swung around under the bridge and caught the loose cable on the falling cabin. Then, with Tea now hanging around his neck, Yugi shot a web straight up under the bridge with his one free hand as the cabin suddenly came to a stop.
So there we were, I had the cable in my right hand, Tea hanging around my neck, and my only free hand on the web attached to underneath the bridge, hanging onto dear life, with the web breaking off bit by bit. I was a sitting duck! But my luck was about to change…
"Ahoy up there!" a voice came form down below. Spiderman/Yugi looked round to see a small boat coming towards them. "We're going to bring the barge right under you!"
"Okay!" Spiderman/Yugi yelled back. "But can you hurry it up a little? I'm not exactly in the best position a wanna be in!"
"Aaaahhhh!" Tea suddenly screamed very loudly.
"OW! Not so loud! My ears can't take it!"
"He's coming back!" Tea screamed again.
"Oh, well then why didn't you say so!" Spiderman/Yugi replied before he looked up to see the Goblin getting on his glider and started to head towards them. "Listen Tea, I need you to climb down!"
"I can't!" she whimpered.
"Yes you can!" Spiderman/Yugi replied before the started to break off more that they dropped a bit. "Tea you can do it! You have to! Trust me!" Spiderman/Yugi yelled as Tea looked at him and slowly nodded. She then started to slowly climb down the cable. Meanwhile, Yugi looked up to see that the Goblin was nearing them. "Hurry!"
"I can't…I can't do it!" Tea cried.
"Hold on Tea!" Spiderman/Yugi yelled as the Goblin flew straight past him and knocked him a little, making the cabin and the cable, which Tea was holding onto, shake. Tea tried desperately on hold on to the cabin as it shock. Suddenly, the Goblin flew back to Spiderman/Yugi, this time punching him in the face and he flew by. Making Yugi let go of the cable, but still holding onto the web connected to underneath the bridge.
At that point I thought it was all over. Tea had lost her grip on the cable as it started to fall again. But suddenly, I swung back and grabbed it, just as Tea managed to grab hold of the side of the cabin. But then, he was came back…
"Oh great, I'm a sitting duck!" Yugi said to himself. "I might as well of had a great big target sign on my chest!"
"Ha ha ha! Time to die!" the Goblin yelled as sharp blades suddenly popped out from his glider as he charged towards Yugi. But suddenly, something landed on his hand, which suddenly knocked him off course, and shot past Spiderman/Yugi.
"Come up here tough guy! I've got a little something for you!" a man with short brown hair shouted over the bridge as he as the other people of Domino city threw what ever they could at the Goblin as the villain looked up at them. "Leave Spiderman alone! You're going to pick on a guy trying to save a bunch of kids!"
"Hey, I've got something for your ass!" a girl with short black hair yelled as she threw a metal pole, which hit the Green Goblin on the head. "Ha! I got him Brian!" she said to the other guy.
"Good job Niri!" Brian replied.
"You mess with Spidey, you mess with Domino!" Niri yelled.
"Yeah! You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!" Brian shouted.
Meanwhile, Spiderman/Yugi watched the people of Domino help him out.
'Aww, they do love me after all!' Yugi thought before he suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, the bout!" he said as he let loose on his grip on the cable to the boat. When the cabin successfully was layered onto the boat, everyone took their attention off the Goblin and cheered.
"Whoo! I'm number one! I'm number one!" Yugi cheered.
"Spiderman watch out!" Tea yelled.
"Wha…" Yugi respond as he looked around, but then it was to late. The Goblin had thrown a bit of wire around Yugi and dragged him away. "AH! I'm being kidnapped! I need a hero…oh wait, I am the hero…HELP!"
