Chapter 10: Wild Rhino
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. This one is the last piece I needed before things get really interesting. I hope you it. Please Review and Enjoy.
It was early in the morning as the sun rose on Metropolis and all was peaceful. Suddenly the call of the police sirens echoes throughout the city as multiple police cars were chasing an OSCORP truck.
"Attention all units we have a grand theft auto, suspect has stolen an OSCORP truck loaded with weapons grade Plutonium." The Police system said.
Driving the truck was a muscular man in a leather jacket. This was Aleksei Systevich. In the back were two men with machine guns firing at the cops to keep them away.
As Aleksei was driving through the streets he heard a loud honking. Looking over he saw a red dune buggie driving up next to him. Looking over he saw Harley Quinn waving at him and flying next to her was a girl with orange hair and dressed in purple. This was Starfire.
Flying up to the window Starfire knocks on the window telling him to roll it down. "Hello there kind sir. Would you be so kind as to pull over?" Starfire asks politely.
Aleksi responds by trying to ram Starfire out of the way, but she flies up dodging it.
"Sorry Star, but this calls for a little Harley Quinn finesse." Harley said as she floored the gas pedal and drove in front of the truck. "Here ya go!" Harley threw a pie in front of the windshield blocking Aleksei's view causing him to swerve all over the road until the truck crashes.
The two guys in the back with guns fired continuously when suddenly two webs shot out yanking their guns out of their hands.
Looking up they saw Spider-Man swooping in.
"Hey guys, my name's Spider-Man. You can also call me Spidey, Web head, just don't call me during dinner." Spider-Man chuckles when the two men knock him out of the truck and onto the hood of Harley's buggie. "Criminals they just don't have a sense of humor." Spider-Man said looking at Harley.
"Been there Spidey." Harley giggles.
Standing up Spider-Man shoots two webs tying up the two criminals and yanking them out of the truck.
Aleksi tries to start the engine but for some reason wasn't moving. Looking towards the front of the truck he saw Starfire was stopping the truck with her bare hands.
Suddenly the door opens to reveal the chief of police who pointed a gun to his head.
"Aleksi Systevich, you're under arrest." He said slamming the handcuffs on him.
As the police load Aleksi into a Police van the chief turns towards Spider-Man, Harley and Starfire.
"Thank you all for your help kids." He said.
"Our pleasure officer." Starfire said.
"That's Officer Harrison." He smiles making Spider-Man's eyes widen under his mask.
'Ironic, Zack's dad is a police officer, but he doesn't seem to drop the law everytime his son shoves me in a locker.' He thought. "Well I better get going. See ya." Spider-Man shoots a web and swings away.
Making his way to the van Officer Harrison looks over at Aleksi who shoots him a glare.
"No prison can hold me Officer, I'll make you suffer." Aleksi glares.
"Tell it to the judge." Officer Harrison said as he slammed the door and the van took him away.
Aleksi growls in anger when a speaker was turned on.
"Hello Systevich." A computerized voice came from the speaker.
"Who's there?" Aleksi asks.
"A friendly sponsor who is willing to offer you a chance at revenge and in return you must do something for me. Interested?" The voice said as a grin appeared on Aleksi's face.
Meanwhile at Metropolis High Jaden was in Science class with Miles, Harry and Kitty as the teacher was handing out the grades from the last test.
Harry looks at his and smiles. "Check it out guys, B minus."
"Not bad Osborn, but I think my B plus beats yours hands down." Miles smirks holding his up.
"Sorry boys, my A minus is here for the win." Kitty smiles.
"What about you Jaden? How'd you do?" Harry asks.
Jaden turns to them and holds up an A plus. "And Jaden wins again." Miles chuckles.
"Seriously Jaden how do you do this everytime?" Harry asks.
"I'm just really good at Science." Jaden shrugs.
"And Math." Miles smirks.
From the back of the classroom Zack looks at Jaden and then to his test grade which was a D plus. Crumbling his test in Zack growls in anger.
At Doc Ock's hidden lab Aleksi was laid down on a metal table as Doc Ock injected him with some sort of formula.
"What are you planning on doing to me?" Aleksi asks.
"Giving you the powers to destroy everything that stands in your way, when you attack nothing will stop." Doc Ock said as the formula entered Aleksi making him scream as his body started to grow as he breaks out of his bindings.
"Prepare yourself Metropolis, the Rhino has arrived." Doc Ock grins.
A few hours later Barbara was at her tech lab at Super Hero High typing on her computer.
"Whoo finally." Barbara sighs as she lays back in her chair having completed her last assignment. "Been awhile since I got out any free time…wonder what Jaden's up to?" Barbara asks herself when she heard a knock at her door. "Come on in."
The door opens to see Bumblebee walking in. "Hey Barbara."
"Hey Bumblebee, what's up?" Barbara asks.
"Couple of us were going to Capes and Cowls want to come? Or do you have another date with your new boyfriend?" Bumblebee asks making Barbara blush.
"What? No, Jaden isn't my boyfriend, we just hang out." Barbara said nervously.
"Relax girl I'm just messing with you." Bumblebee chuckles. "But seriously you two have been hanging out for almost 2 months."
"Well Jaden and I have lots of fun hanging out he's really…well he's fun to be around." Barbara said.
"Is he cute?" Bumblebee asks.
"Maybe a little." Barbara smiles.
Bumblebee giggles when suddenly the map of Metropolis beeped signaling there was danger.
"What the?" Barbara starts typing. "We got a Save the Day alarm, the figure is near Metropolis High with the police trying to catch up with it."
"I'm on it." Bumblebee said flying out of her room.
On the streets of Metropolis, a large muscular man in a high-tech armor that resembled a rhino was smashing through town as many police cars surrounded him. (Google Spider-Man PS4 Rhino)
In the school hallways Jaden was at his locker talking with Miles.
"So Miles what's going on with your dad?" Jaden asks.
"Oh, you know him, being a cop is tough job, so he always comes back exhausted. You'd think with a school of supers nearby we'd have less crime, but we don't." Miles shrugs.
Zack was walking down the hall to see Jaden near and open locker. 'Just what I need to cheer me up.' Zack grins.
He was about to make his way towards Jaden when a loud crashing noise outside the school.
"What the?" Miles said as he helped Jaden up.
Looking towards the window Jaden, Miles and Zack looked outside to see multiple cops shooting at Rhino, but none of their bullets were making a dent in his armor.
Charging towards them Rhino smashes into the police cars sending them crashing sideways.
"We gotta get outta here!" Miles yells as they made a run for it, but Zack trips and falls to the ground.
"Zack!" Jaden said when his spider sense went off.
Looking outside he saw Rhino pick up an entire Police Car and threw it in their direction.
"Look out!" Jaden grabs Zack's arms and pulls him out of the way as the police car crashes through the wall and lands literally inches from crushing him.
Zack looks to the car and then to Jaden with a surprised look on his face. "You just…saved my life."
"Well if you don't hurry you won't have a life for much longer." Jaden said as Zack stood up.
"Come on this way!" Miles said leading them out the emergency exit, but when he and Zack ran out they saw Jaden was nowhere to be seen. "Wait what happened to Jaden?"
"He was just here." Zack said when some police officers rushed to them.
"Come on this way!" They said leading them away from the fight.
"Wait! My friend is still in there!" Miles yells.
As the Rhino had all the police on the ropes he was about to charge when a large blue blast hit him in the gut knocking Rhino backwards.
"Booyah!" Turning around they saw Cyborg with his sonic cannon at the ready.
Flying in Bumblebee shrunk down to bee size and was zapping Rhino multiple times with her stingers.
"Get off me you worthless insect!" Rhino yells trying to swat Bumblebee away.
"What's a matter big guy? With all those muscles you can't hit a little bee like me?" Bumblebee smirks when a web hit Rhino in the face blinding him. Looking up Bumblee and Cyborg saw Spider-Man drop in next to the police.
"Hey this looks like a fun party why wasn't I invited?" Spider-Man asks.
"Why am I not surprised to see you show up?" Bumblebee asks flying over.
"Hey officer may I borrow that?" Spider-Man asks as he grabs a megaphone. "Attention large guy in the middle of the street! On the behalf of the good people of Metropolis and real rhinos everywhere we ask that you put your arms in the air."
"Never! I crush you! I'll kill you!" Rhino yells.
"Wow he's sure inviting." Cyborg chuckles.
"You want me to come down there, so you can kill me?" Spider-Man asks.
"Yes!" Rhino yells.
"I'll be right there." Spider-Man said tossing the megaphone back to the police. "Don't suppose you have any cool tricks?" He asks looking at them.
"I've got a few." Cyborg grins as he charges at Rhino who charges back at him.
The two of them met in the middle with their punches colliding. Both struggle to get the upper hand when Cyborg turns his other arm into his cannon. Rhino's eyes widen as Cyborg blasts him from close range making him skid backwards in pain.
"How was that?" Cyborg asks.
"Pretty cool trick." Spider-Man said impressed.
"That Rhino has some pretty strong armor." Bumblebee said.
"We can take it." Spider-Man said. "Think you two can keep up?"
Both Cyborg and Bumblebee chuckle.
"Just try Spidey." Bumblebee said as she flew in, Spider-Man shot his webs and swung in and Cyborg charged.
"Little insects." Rhino glares as Spider-Man shoots a web at his arm. Pulling his arm Rhino yanks Spider-Man in and punches him knocking Spider-Man into a wall.
"Did anyone get the license plate on that truck?" Spider-Man groaned in pain.
Bumblebee flew in and fired multiple blasts as she circled Rhino confusing him. Using this opening Cyborg jumped in the air to deliver a punch to Rhino's face.
Looking up Rhino swings his arm and punches Cyborg to the ground before grabbing Bumblebee by her leg and throwing her into Cyborg.
"That is one annoying Rhino." Bumblebee groans as they picked themselves up.
Rhino charged towards them and the three heroes scramble out of the way as Rhino smashes into some parked cars.
"We have to slow it down…. I got an idea if you two are on board?" Spider-Man said.
Both Cyborg and Bumblebee look at each other and nod.
Rhino turns towards them to see Cyborg standing in front of him.
"Come and get some!" Cyborg said turning his arm into a cannon.
Rhino prepares to charge when Spider-Man and Bumblebee swoop in.
As Bumblebee blasted him Spider-Man swung around him shooting as many webs as possible trapping Rhino's legs, arms and body. Rhino tries to break free when Spider-Man activates his electro webs zapping Rhino making him scream in pain.
Using this opening Cyborg rushes and delivers a powerful right hook to the face knocking Rhino to the ground.
"Booyah! Take that Rhino!" Cyborg smiles at their victory as Spider-Man lands in front of them.
"Quick thinking Spidey." Bumblebee said.
"Thanks, I'm glad I had you two for backup." Spider-Man said.
"Where'd you get your hands on this kind of tech?" Cyborg asks.
"Sorry but that's my special secret." Spider-Man said as he swung away.
"I like him, he's funny." Cyborg chuckles.
As Rhino was loaded into the truck he was being escorted away.
"I'll crush those supers, they are nothing but worthless children." Rhino growls when a speaker turned out.
"So happy to hear you say that." Rhino looks to hear it was the same voice who gave him the powers. "It's time you made do on that favor you owe me Rhino and by the time we're done Super Hero High and all those annoying super brats will be destroyed."
The next day Jaden was walking to school with Miles as he explained what happened.
"So basically I tripped on a loose tile and found a hiding spot until the supers came to beat that guy." Jaden said.
"Jay don't do that to me, I don't want to lose my best buddy." Miles said.
"Don't worry Miles, everyone says I'm too smart or crazy to die." Jaden smirks.
"I vote crazy." Miles chuckles.
"Hey Cooper!" Looking ahead they saw Zack making his way towards them.
"Uh oh, run Jaden." Miles said when Zack stopped in front of him.
"Uh hey Zack. What's up?" Jaden asks nervously.
Zack sighs. "Listen I owe you about a million apologies, I've treated you like garbage for years, but you didn't even hesitate to save my life yesterday. I gotta know why did you do it?"
"Well Zack…I figured even after all you've put me through no one deserves to die like that. I just was doing the right thing." Jaden said.
"Cooper I never thought I would say this in a million years, but…thank you and I was wondering you know since you're such a nerd with Science…maybe you could…" Zack rubs the back of his head.
"No way Zack Harrrison wants you to tutor him?" Miles said holding back his laughter.
"Shut up Morales!" Zack snaps.
"You know what sure Zack I'll tutor you." Jaden nods.
By that one selfless action Jaden's long time bully had decided to change, hopefully into a better person.
