"GET BACK HERE, HEY I'M TALKING TO YOU CRACKPOT!" Spiderman shouted chasing a girl in a white and magenta wing-suit
"The name is Screwball" the girl said
"Crackpot, Screwball both mean exactly the same thing" Spiderman said as flew past some building getting a view of the transformed Statue of Liberty still hanging around, it had been a month and no one was closer to finding out who or what was behind it. But he put that out of his head for now as he closed in on Screwball, who swerved to the left before diving "Okay if you want to handle things this way" Spiderman said as he swung over her and landed under her
"Hey loser" Screwball said before she was brought down, right in front of Jefferson Davis
"Hey Spiderman, another Screwball day huh?"
"So is Officer Davis" Spiderman said "Now if you'll excuse I'm late for something important"
"Hot date?" Screwball asked
"Yeah, with an examination observer" Spiderman said
"You could always drop out you know" Screwball said
"Girl, shut up!" Jefferson said placing her in the police cruiser "Good Luck Spiderman
"Thanks Officer" Spiderman said
At the end of the day the exams were done with and Peter was confident he one well on them, most of his group did well, heck Flash was pretty confident he had done well thanks to Mary Jane and Gwen helping
"So are they any closer to finding out who did that to Lady Liberty?" Ned asked
"No I don't think so" Gwen said
That isn't going to be permanent is it?" MJ Asked
"It won't be" Flash said
"Way to sound confident Flash" Anya said
"So Peter, have you heard anything?" Cho asked
"No, JJ and the rest of the Bugle are stumped" Peter said
"What about Spiderman, could he do something like that?" Cindy asked
"No, he was seen chasing the Black Cat when it happened" Gwen said
"So who was it and how did it happen?" Harry asked
"I have no idea" Peter said
Spiderman was swinging in Time Square when he saw something not quite right, for there in the middle of the New York landmark was a UFO
"That's new" Spiderman said landing in a bus stop just as a police cruiser showed up, out of the car was Jefferson Davis and a new office
"Officer Davis, ma'am" Spiderman said
"Spiderman, met Yuriko Watanabe, Yuri say hello to Spiderman" Jefferson said
"Nice to meet you, heard a fair bit about you in the month you've been around, minus the scathing Daily Bugle reports, the more flattering one we enjoy" Yuri said
"Glad I could be of service" Eddie Brock said showing up "Spiderman"
"Mr Brock, you Parker speaks highly of you" Spiderman said "Now can we please have ET phone home so we can get back to solving the mystery of our lives?"
"You want to piss of our first contact with alien life, yeah I don't think so" Eddie said
"So what is your plan huh?" Spiderman asked
"Ask them if they come in peace" Eddie shrugged
"Seriously?" Spiderman asked
"Like your was any better?" Eddie asked when a bright light flash and there stood a being shrouded in a purple cloak while on his head was an orb filled with greenish smoke
"Is he wearing a fishbowl on his head?" Spiderman asked
"I dunno" Yuri said
"People of this city, I am Mysterio! And I have come here from the stars above to this wretched planet to make sure you are kept safe from those you call 'heroes'" Mysterio said in an altered voice
"Okay what?" Spiderman said
"And I will do this by making this world my own, all I ask is for tribute, half a ton of gold bullion will be a nice start, you have 24 hours to meet my demands of a peaceful surrender or else suffer my wrath" Mysterio said disappearing
"NO doubt the Mayor is already working with SHIELD" Yuri said
"Come on" Jefferson said
"I'm head back to the Bugle" Eddie said
"And I'll try and find him as well" Spiderman said 'But where to start?'
"Okay so a month passes and this Mysterio arrives in time square after changing the statue of Liberty, I think that means something" Eddie said
"So what's the mayor doing?" Peter asked
"Exactly what Mysterio has said to do, he's trying to get the federal reserve on board" Robbie said
"And how does JJ think our newest hero fit in to an alien space wizard?" Eddie asked
"So far, he doesn't as of yet" Robbie said
"Something's not right about this guy" Peter said
"But what is it?" Robbie asked
"I don't know" Peter said
That night Spiderman was able to get over to Liberty Island and look around
"There's nothing here Spider" Black Cat said appearing out of nowhere
"So what are you doing here?" Spiderman asked
"I was curious" Black Cat said
"Didn't you know" Spiderman said
"Finish that line and it be the cat that killed the curious spider" Black Cat hissed
"Good to know" Spiderman said
"So this is Mysterio huh" Black Cat said looking up at the statue
"Yeah it is, but something is bugging me about it" Spiderman said
"But what?" Black Cat asked
"I don't know just something is throwing out a weird vibe" Spiderman said looking at the statue
"Hey what's that?" Black Cat asked as the pair walked over to a large black box
"It can't be" Spiderman said
"What is it?" Black Cat asked before a thick green smoke surrounded them
"I see you have found my trans-modifier" Mysterio said showing up
"Get real!" Spiderman said
"Oh but I am real" Msyterio said opening his purple cloak to reveal high tech looking armour that was a pale green colour with mystical looking decals on the bracers before he held his hands up making the two good guys woozy making them fall to their knees. "Shame I had heard you were one of the good heroes who kept their nose out of the businesses of more powerful beings" he said firing lightning out of his glove at the two heroes "Now let this be a warning, don't get in my way again, otherwise the world will suffer" Mysterio said opening a portal underneath them
"What, was that a teleporter?" Black Cat asked "And where did he send us?"
"Coney Island" Spiderman said
"You have to be kidding" Black Cat said groaned while rubbing her eyes "Let's just get out of here"
"You want a hot dog first" Spiderman asked
"I doubt you have your wallet on you" Black Cat said
"No, no I do not" Spiderman said
The next day Spiderman was at the sight of the exchange, NYPD has sent several teams including Yuri and Jefferson to the party, Spiderman noticed a couple of SWAT Snipers as well, one of them trying to get a photo of him, so he stuck up a peace sign just as it was being taken smiling under his mask
"Thanks bro" the sniper said before he became serious as Captain Stacy walked out with the mayor before Mysterio appeared in a cloud of green smoke
"Okay he's here, go and check out those trans-modifiers" Spiderman said
"You got it Spider" Black Cat said
"And Cat be careful" Spiderman said before he jumped down and landed next to Jefferson
"Spiderman" Jefferson said
"Officers" Spiderman said
"Bring it out" Capt Stacy said as several officers brought out cases of gold bars, Spiderman went to help and subtly placed a tracker underneath one of them before stepping back
"It is good to see that you have come to your sense" Mysterio said arriving, shrouding himself in his cloak and smoke
"It's all here, 500 kilos of gold" Capt Stacy said
"You are a credit to your people officer" Mysterio said as the cases floated up to his spaceship "Now I want 50 kilos of gold weekly and maybe I'll return your statue" he said entering the spaceship and took off.
"He's going to bankrupt the city" Yuri said
"Not if we stop him first" Jefferson said
"Don't worry we will" Spiderman said
"So what did you find?" Spiderman asked
"You were right, those cubes aren't alien technology" Black Cat said
"So what are they?" Spiderman asked
"I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't have the logo of Stark Industries on the side of it" Black Cat said
"I knew it" Spiderman said
"What is it?" Black Cat asked
"This Mysterious isn't a space wizard" Spiderman said "Now to find him
"So how are you going to do that?" Black Cat asked
"Just watch" Spiderman said
After heading back to his dad's lab he located that case he bugged in an abandoned warehouse which was big enough to hide a spaceship. He entered and looked around seeing various pieces of junk and blueprints. And there on the table was Mysterio's helmet without the gas. Spiderman kept to the high place of the roof as who he guessed as Mysterio as he tinkered with some before the ship released the cases and Msyterio opened them before running his gloved hand over the gold. Spiderman looked around and noticed that amongst the technology
"Ah this people are so gullible" Mysterio said giving Spiderman a look at his face
"Yeah gullible" Spiderman muttered
"Time for my next trick, Oscorp and Stark Enterprises" Mysterio said "I think the Mysterio Towers will be good" he said pulling his helmet on and filling it with smoke
"I don't think so" Spiderman said landing in front of the villain
"SPIDERMAN!" Mysterio exclaimed "You dare invade my sanctuary?"
"You mean your effects studio, yeah I know who you are Quentin Beck" Spiderman said
"HOW! I mean that is not who I am" Mysterio shouted shocked
"Oh please, it's so obvious, you're disgraced Hollywood Special Effects artist Quentin Beck who got kicked off the set of Simon William's latest movie 'The return of Wonder Man' for basically burning down the set with those faulty pyrotechnics. Plus you were voted the worse stage magician in new York which cause you to go in the film industry in the first place" Spiderman said
"I see, but did you know I am not some mere stage magician anymore" Mysterio said
"Of course not your a space alien wizard Mysterio , seriously I'm pretty sure Energy Guardians pulled it off better, and no not the season you worked on" Spiderman said
"So you're a fan of Energy Guardians?" Mysterio asked
"I prefer Masked Knights over them" Spiderman said webbing up his helmet before exploding into green smoke "Where did he go"
Mysterio appeared on the on Liberty Island and walked over to the black box while ripping the webbing off of his helmet before he saw the control panel had been accessed
"I have to work fast there is not telling how long until that pest shows up" Mysterio said as he went over to one of the boxes "I have to admit I have enjoyed using these Stark Industries Hard Light projectors to use in my scheme" Mysterio said "But now it is time to stop playing"
"Surprise" Spiderman said showing up
"What how!" Mysterio said
"aww, have a bug problem?" Black Cat said showing up before using her grappling hook to trip Msyterio up
"Another pest?" Mysterio said "Fine, try these on for size" he said conjuring clones of himself "So who is the true Mysterio?" they all asked
"This is going to be tough" Black Cat said
"I don't think so" Spiderman said before the Mysterio clones rushed at him, but the two heroes dodged them all, only for Black Cat to be grabbed by the hair and thrown to the side
"So think you can still stop me?" Mysterio asked as one of them summoned a blade and placed it on Black Cat's back
"Yeah I can" Spiderman said shutting down the projectors making the clones and the Statue disappear revealing that Mysterio was pointing the sword at Black Cat and the statue was back to normal
"NO!" Mysterio said before he felt Spiderman tap his shoulder "Not the face!" he panicked before he created an actual portal behind him
"Don't think so" Black Cat using her grappling hook to pull him back in, only for the portal to close
"You have to be kidding me, he can use actual magic?" Spiderman asked
"I don't know" Black Cat said "So what do we do now?"
"Go home, get some sleep and try to find him in the morning"
"Okay, night Spider" Black Cat said kissing his cheek before walking off
"Whoa mama" Spiderman said pulling out his phone
"Davis" Jefferson at his desk "Good to hear Spiderman, Quentin Beck huh, yeah I've heard of him, yep okay, okay, sure thing catch you later"
"Spiderman?" Yuri asked
"Yeah he has a real name for our Space Wizard; one Quentin Beck" Jefferson said
"Okay I'll put out an APB on him" Yuri said as Capt Stacy walked in looking concerned
"What is it Cap?" Jefferson asked
"He's back in town" Capt Stacy said
"You're kidding me" Jefferson said
"Who?" Yuri asked
"An old colleague of ours, do you know why?" Jefferson asked
"Carradine was spotted entering the city two hours ago, an hour later our friend shows up
"Come on" Jefferson said getting up
"What?" Yuri asked racing after her partner
G'day Guys Grizz here with the debut of Mysterio who was chosen because of Spiderman Far From Home, plus if you noticed there was a certain little hidden twist with Mysterio that will be revealed a bit later on but his illusions was of course made by technology and it was provided by Stark Technology and that weight and what not about the gold is real...I googled it so it would be the correct information and of course this was technically part 2 of the last chapter and that ending will lead into the next chapter whcih will feature a surprise character
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
