"Ah, no screwball, no dumbasses trying to rob a bank, no SHIELD, just me on a web hammock watching New York going by" Spiderman said as the hammock swayed in the breeze. This was a past time he had started to enjoy a fair amount since it was soothing for him. He was about to nod off when a scream woke him and made him fall off his hammock "Asshole criminal, what are they trying to do, can't I get some me time?" Spiderman asked swinging off to where he had heard the scream "So what am I dealing with today?" he asked landing on the street "Did Mysterio return, some thugs, maybe a couple of gang bangers" Spiderman said before he came face to face with someone wearing heavy mechanical armour and metal horn like that of a Rhino's on his face, in fact the whole headpiece resembled that of a Rhino's head "Or an escape Rhino from the Zoo"
"Funny, you stupid spider, for I am not a Rhino; I am the Rhino" Rhino said
"Seriously, and where did you get that big idea from?" Spiderman said
"I like Rhinos" Rhino said rearing back before smacking his horn into the ground just seconds after Spiderman jumped out of the way
"HEY! Watch where you put that thing!" Spiderman shouted
"Oh yeah and why's that?" Rhino asked smirking
"I hate being stabbed" Spiderman said
"That's not the only thing you have to worry about" Rhino said before using his horn to stab a car enabling him to throw it at Spiderman, who narrowly jumped out of the way of it before he was forced to dodge again only this time is it was a massive armour fist. Rhino snorted before turning
"Hey where are you going?" Spiderman asked shooting web at Rhino's back while he was walking away, only to be dragged behind him. Rhino snorted again and grabbed the webbing "Uh oh" Spiderman whimpered before he was thrown into the air all while Rhino trundled off, Spiderman looked confused as he had somehow landed on his hammock and looked as Rhino turned a corner. "That was tough" he said laying on the hammock with his mask pulled up over his face to breathe, unaware that someone was watching him.
"So I'm up against a walking tank with a horn, geez this isn't going to back fire on me or anything" Spiderman said as he swung after the Rhino when he's phone rang "Hello?" he asked
"Peter!" Gwen shouted
"Gwen what is it?" Spiderman asked he landed on a nearby roof
"I'm just calling to check in with you since there is a monster running through Manhattan"
"Where are you?" Spiderman asked panicking
"We're in a nearby coffee shop" Gwen said
"Wait we?" he said dread filling his body
"Yeah I'm with the others, Peter just stay safe, I don't think its seen us yet" Gwen said
"Hold on I'll call the police and get them over here" Spiderman said
"They already are, and they're not faring well" Gwen said
"Hold on, HEY SPIDERMAN! Don't worry Gwen help's coming" Spiderman said hanging up before swinging away "Of all days" he muttered
"Where's Pete?" Harry asked hiding
"Safe, I think he's sending help" Gwen said
"Who?" Cindy asked
"Spiderman" Gwen said
"Hopefully he gets some good pictures" Cho said looking up
"Down" Ben whispered pulling him down behind a table "And hopefully he won't because that means he'll be here!"
"Oh right" Cho said as he peeked around the side to see Rhino smashing a cop car
"MOVE IT!" Jefferson shouted as he pulled Yuri out of the way
"Thanks Jeff" Yuri said pulling out her sidearm and taking a couple of shots
"That won't work, you're basically using a peashooter against walking tank" Jefferson said "Any word on SHIELD?"
"Twenty minutes out sir" an officer said
"Great!" Jefferson shouted before he looked up seeing Spiderman had landed behind the Rhino "Yuri, keep firing" he said pulling out his own sidearm and started firing
"Paperwork's going to be a bitch" Yuri said firing as Rhino was drawn to them. Spiderman then jumped into the air and webbed up Rhino's eyes before landing in front of him and punching the only place not protected, his mouth!
"HEY HORNHEAD!" Spiderman shouted "Over here" he shout making Rhino charge at him, only to jump out of the way "You missed" he laughed before Rhino tried again. Spiderman then noticed that the Rhino was looking a bit tired "What's the matter, nappy time already?" the hero asked as Rhino stood still giving Spiderman enough time to leap onto his back before a series of vents opened up unleashing hot air "Hot, hot, hot" Spiderman said jumping back and saw that Rhino was in charging form "Oh great, he has a cooling system, and here I thought he needed to wallow in mud" Spiderman said running as Rhino charged
"SPIDERMAN!" the police shouted in worry
"Watch where you're pointing that thing" Spiderman said panicked
"ARGH!" Rhino shouted as he charged again
"Okay so he can only charge a certain number of times before his suit has to vent the hot air, which means I have to close the vents before he can cool himself down" Spiderman said as he swung around taking pot shots at Rhino with his webbing which didn't do much since Rhino would break it, soon it was the fight was taken to a construction site and Spiderman used the height to his advantage by crawling over the Rhino when charged forcing him to change direction until Rhino stopped 'now' Spiderman thought jumping into action and webbing up the back vent just before they were going to open, but the others still worked fine venting the hot air.
"So you think that will stop me think again" Rhino shouted grabbing Spiderman and throwing him on the ground, forcing a groan from the young hero before he rolled out of the way of Rhino's foot. "Stop running and fight" Rhino shouted as webbing was shot onto his visor blinding him while Spiderman swung off to check on his friends
"You guys okay?" Peter said running up to them
"Yeah we are, what about you?" Gwen asked
"Yeah, yeah I am" Peter said
"Who was that guy?" Harry asked
"The Rhino, but that's because he looked like one" Peter said
"I don't think even Spiderman can deal with him" Harry said
"No I don't think he can either" Peter gulped
"Great a Rhino tank on legs, what's next?" MJ said
"Don't say that" the group groaned
"What why?" MJ asked
"Okay, so what should I do to stop Rhino?" Spiderman asked he sat on a wall looking down at the streets below hoping it would provide an answer, but he shot his head up and looked around "Plus why do I get the feeling of being watched?" he asked the air before swinging away. "Plus that damage he did to his suit in the construction yard probably won't be easy to fix" he said as he dove to the street only for his spider-sense to go off just as a wall exploded behind as the Rhino showed up
"Hey Bug" Rhino said snorting hot air into his face making Spiderman flinch and flip out of the way. "So how should I squish you?"
"How about you don't" Spiderman said firing a web bullet at Rhino before jumping behind him and trying again
"If you're trying to seal my vents, it's not going to work" Rhino said smashing him into the ground while rearing his fist back punching the ground just as Spiderman dodged out of the way and webbed his fist so it wouldn't move, jumping afterwards a bit, Rhino snorted before he turned and ran off breaking the road with his stomps. Spiderman quickly followed the walking tank to a structure still under construction like the last one, Spiderman jumped up onto the roof and looked down as Rhino just stood there
"Okay horn head, time to head back to the zoo" Spiderman said "So give up"
"I don't think so" Rhino said swinging his horn to destroy two support pillars which broke the roof of the upper level, causing it and Spiderman to break through the floor and crash, Rhino just stood there before he stamp off
"What happened" Spiderman said as he was under a pile of rubble, the biggest of which were the two pieces currently on top of him, he tried to lift them but could move them. He's breathing started to become quicker and shallower "HELP! PLEASE I'M DOWN HERE, HELP, I CAN'T MOVE, HELP ME, SOMEONE, SOMEBODY HELP!" he cried out trying to lift the rubble again, but he gave up and struggled to try again, his panicking was making his spider-sense go haywire, he then heard several large thumps "HELP! PLEASE!
"Help please" his cries were mockingly returned at him by Rhino "Looks like you're stuck" Rhino laughed as he pressed down on the rock causing Spiderman to groan out in pain an increase his panic attack. "But if you stay put then maybe, just maybe I'll get you out" he said walking away a fair bit then turning around and lowering his horn, and kicking the dust up.
'No, no, no, no, I have to get out of here!' Spiderman thought continuing his panic as the Rhino started to charge at him. 'No this isn't the way its suppose to be, I'm sorry Aunt May, Uncle Ben' Spiderman said as the Rhino started to charge at the helpless teenager, he closed his eyes waiting for the end to come for him
Rhino was mid-charge when something unexpected happened as a woman appeared, flipped over the Rhino and pulled him away from Spiderman.
"I don't think so" she said as she stood proudly, she wore a dark red full body suit like Spiderman's costume, only it revealing her shoulder length light brown hair and on her torso she had a massive white spider insignia. She turned to Spiderman and placed a hand on one of her hips "So you just going to sit there?" she asked
"What?" Spiderman asked before the woman walked over to the rubble and threw a couple of pieces off of the pile on top of Spiderman
"I've been watching you and you have shown some great responsibility, but now I think you need to show some great power" she said happily
"Come again?" Spiderman asked
"I'm basically saying you can do this" she said in a sisterly tone of voice. Spiderman lifted the rubble a bit, so he could get onto his feet pushing more to lift the rubble off of him "That's it!" she shouted cheerfully as with one last mighty roar of courage and defiance he was able to get out of the rubble and stood proudly. The woman then came over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder "Good job, I knew you could do it"
"Thanks, now I want a piece of him" Spiderman said
"Okay, I'll set something up" the woman said swinging off. Spiderman nodded before turning back to the Rhino.
"Back for more huh?" Rhino snarled
"Yeah I am" Spiderman said jumping into the air and webbing up a piece of the rubble, swinging it into the Rhino landing on the ground, rolling and then popping up to web the lenses of Rhino's helmet while grabbing and spinning around the horn to slug him in the jaw, he then jumped into the air and shot webs at all of the Rhino's vents landing behind him and webbing up his legs, making the rhino themed giant tumble forward. Rhino bellowed as he broke the webbing and pushing up, only to have a car land on him "How was that, enjoy that Horny" he said before flipping off and swinging away, Rhino once again bellowed and got up, charging after Spiderman who flipped over Rhino
"Olé!" he cheered as Rhino turned and charged at him again, albeit a bit slower "Feeling hot under collar?"
"Shut it bug" Rhino said
"Wow, I heard of a person's brains being cooked but I thought that was a figure of speech" Spiderman said
"Why you" he said charging again, only this time Spiderman jumped onto his back and shot to web strains to Rhino's shoulder
"Turn Left lumpy" he said steering the Rhino left
"Right on time" the woman said as Spiderman steered the Rhino into a pit of mud. Spiderman jumped off and looked back to see the Rhino up to his head in mud sighing in relief
"You okay there Rhino?" Spiderman asked looking at his foe
"Yeah, I'm good" Rhino said
"Real Life Rhinos use mud to cool down and protect themselves from parasites and the sun" the woman said
"Ah" Spiderman said as SHIELD arrived to take the armour villain asked
"Five more minutes?" Rhino asked
"Better crank the AC up" an agent said
"You got it" the other agent said
"You know we made a good team" Spiderman said as they sat on the building where they had fought the Rhino
"Yeah, guess we do" she said
"So who are you?" Spiderman asked
"Sorry Spiderman, but I have to keep some secrets, but don't worry I'll be around" she said with a light laugh in her voice "And don't worry, you may stumble here and there but you're a teenager. That means you don't have your shit together, but in the end you will be an amazing superhero, maybe even Avengers level" the woman said placing a hand on his shoulder "But for now I think you are doing well" she said before shooting a web away "Until we meet again"
"Wait, what?" Spiderman asked
"See ya" she said as she swung into the New York city skyline before she rested on a roof and looked back at the teenage hero "I'm proud of you Peter; and I know if they were alive mum, dad and Uncle Ben would be proud as well" she smiled under her mask before swinging off
G'day Guys Grizz here bring Rhino into the picture and so far I think this might have been the toughest fight since if it wasn't for the new mysterious female character who I will reveal more of in the future when a particular enemy and plotline I'm going to be doing shows up, now the costume for the new character is based on the Ultimate Spider-woman from the ultimate comics (is you don't know who that is look it up) also the scene with the rubble is taken from Amazing Spider-Man #33 and Spider-Man Homecoming only in those versions the enemies were different then Rhino who is probably the closet to his original version I've done for this series
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
