Chapter VIII: Back In Black.
Last Time.
A Few Days Later; Queens, Peter's House.
Naruto, Peter, and Mary Jane watched her report on YouTube rather than on D.B.C.'s website but she still used their logo on the green screen at the end. She explained she didn't enter knowing J. Jonah would have chopped it up/made it look like Spider-Man didn't save the day before the doorbell rang.
Going to the door, they saw a delivery man holding a package. "M.J. Watson? Her folks said she was here. Signature required."
M.J. signed and took the box before they went back inside and opened it showing a digital camera. "It's a new camera from the Daily Bugle!" She picked it up and turned it on showing a video of J. Jonah.
"Saw your footage, Watson. There might be a place for you at the Bugle. Send your work to me before you post next time."
"Well, whaddya know. He does have a heart." Naruto said as Mary Jane erased the video and had the camera turn to her friends. "I wished they would have let me know who they were." She said as Naruto covered the camera.
"You never know. You might get another shot someday."
Now.
Shinobi was looking across the skyline from atop a 35-story office building with a 3-D '4' as the rooftop before diving off of it. Diving down, he saw his motorcycle hovering several stories below before flipping to land on the seat.
He then quickly turns off the flying mode and rode down the windows before pulling a wheel stand and had the thrusters slow him down as he landed on the ground. And missed a plaque on the wall by the door with several candles and bouquets of flowers in front of it.
'In Memory Of Stan "The Man" Lee.
1922-2018
"The more you read, the better you're going to become as a storyteller."
"EXCELSIOR!"'
Speeding down the road, Naruto had a screen pop up on his hologram dashboard underneath his speedometer. He saw an android attacking a street that has an appearance of a large purple humanoid-dragon being, with sharp claws and large wings.
This is Dragon Man, a villain Spider-Man has fought on numerous occasions.
Naruto reached for his thruster button, only to stop seeing someone take out the android.
Naruto saw the person was wearing a costume that looks the same as Spider-Man but is completely black with a white spider on the chest and white patches on the top of his hands.
"The hell?" Naruto asked as he set the bike to auto-drive to the Heli-Carrier and saw posts on social media praising the black Spider-themed hero, even J. Jonah. "Yeah, that doesn't make Triple J look like a biased jackass. I thought he hated most masked people after his wife was killed." (1.)
Naruto then continued through the traffic before seeing the Heli-Carrier come into sight.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Meeting Room.
Naruto took off his mask as he walked in to see the team also has their masks/glasses/helmet off as Fury was showing them footage of the black Spider-Man stopping various crimes.
(ACHOO!)
Peter sneezed as Naruto noticed the bags under his eyes and red nose indicating he was sick.
"This new kid looks like an up and comer. What do we know about him?" Fury asked as Naruto crossed his arms.
"Little to nothing, outside of being an all-black version of Spidey, but it could be Venom."
"Are you serious?! It looks nothing like Venom. Venom was too muscular!" Sam said getting the Avenger to look at him.
"After getting on Spider-Man, sure. But when he took over you, Danny, and Luke he took your body frame. What if Venom knows we're looking for him and slimmed down?"
"Perhaps you're seeing connections where there are none," Danny said folding his arms in front of him on the table.
"Or are you jealous that someone's a better you?" Sam said looking at his leader.
"I'm with our leader on this one," Peter said as he sniffled.
"No one is better than me. Sure the Hulk and Thor are physically stronger, but they haven't fought me yet."
"Is this some 'ninjas never trust anyone' thing?" Luke asked from his spot.
"You have someone you thought of as a friend run a lightning covered fist through your chest two times in a row and see if you come out without any trust issues."
His team just stared at him in shock.
"What? Look, we'll keep an eye on him for a while before doing anything, good or bad."
(ACHOO!)
Peter sneezed again before leaving.
"He better not get me sick," Ava said as she tried to move away from Peter.
Later.
A little while later, Shinobi and Spider-Man caught up with the black spider hero to talk to him only for the black-suited hero to blow them off. Naruto sighed as he looked through files on his hologram dashboard for anything after hearing that the voice of the new hero was deep and sounded slightly scrambled. And missed cameras keeping watch on them as well.
Dr. Octavius' Hideout.
Otto was watching the reports on the news Spider-Man before Norman walked in from the shadows.
"Octavius, don't tell me you called me all the way down here to watch something I could watch on my office's flat screen?"
"Of course not, Mr. Osborn," Otto said as he brought up footage of Naruto and the others fighting Venom at Norman's house. "Observe. This new player has many of the same qualities as our last experiment. But more… focused, controlled, deadlier. See any similarities?"
"I want you to get to the bottom of this. Now." Norman said before walking away.
"Of course, Mr. Osborn. I'll send the Dragon Man android out again to do further tests."
Midtown High 8:50 A.M.
Naruto was putting books away at his locker before hearing two girls walk past him while talking about how the new hero was cute. Even though he was wearing a mask.
"Although Shinobi is hotter." One girl said passing Naruto.
"How can you tell? He also has a mask."
"You see those muscles under that skin-tight shirt?!"
The girls then left giggling as Naruto closed his locker and saw Sam was talking to Peter who coughed.
"Whoa! Aim that somewhere else!" Sam said before leaving himself.
"Hey, Pete!"
Naruto saw Harry run up to them, and after seeing at how bad Peter was looking took him to the restroom to tell him something in private before shrugging and leaving for class himself.
New York City, Night.
Shinobi was patrolling the streets as Spider-Man was on the other side looking out for his copycat. Hearing something, Naruto looked down and saw a group of masked men trying to break into a building from the alleyway exit.
"Well, I don't think they forgot their keys."
Naruto then dropped down and slammed one man's head on the ground knocking him out. He then stood up and dashed to the others before ducking underneath a swing of a crowbar and uppercuts the man. Naruto grabbed the crowbar and threw it at another man hitting him in the head having him flip back to the ground.
He then kicked the final man forcing him to fall to his knees before bringing his foot to the back of his skull and brought the man's head to the ground.
Naruto dusts himself off as the man he uppercut fell on a pile of trash bags
After dealing with the group, Naruto ran up to the top of the building and saw a jewelry store was being robbed.
Running to it, he dropped down at the window.
Knock-Knock!
Naruto knocked on the window getting the thug's attention. "Hey fellas!"
"It's Shinobi!"
"Get him!"
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!
Naruto jumped out of the way as the robbers shot at him before creating clones that went to each man and slammed their heads on the walls, knocking them out.
He then ran up to the roof and saw Spider-Man talk to Fury over his watch before running over.
"Hey, when I know, you'll know. Over an out." Spider-Man said as Naruto landed in a crouch.
"You're lying."
"What?! No, I'm-!"
"Yes you are, the only person who would come into contact with Venom who has that build and you're doing everything to keep Fury and the team from fighting him is Harry. So it's him, isn't it?" Naruto asked walking to the edge of the roof.
"(Sigh) Yes, he is."
"So it is Venom. Let's stop him before it takes him over."
After traveling for several blocks, Naruto looked down to see Dragon Man run into Spider-Man and attacked him. Right as Naruto stopped to help, the black Spider-Man swung and tackled the android to the ground and rip its wings off. Naruto saw someone take a picture and saw the black-suited hero throw the wings at the person.
"Whoa!" Naruto yelled as he grabbed the teen and got out of the way of the wings that are now stuck in the wall.
"Who's next!?" The black Spider yelled voice deepened. "Come on, somebody!
He then grabbed a taxi and lifted it over his head.
"Hey! You're supposed to be a good guy!"
"Put him down!"
The black suit looked to see Naruto and Spider-Man standing to his left. And then threw the cab at them. Spider-Man and Naruto whose body glowed blue for a second grabbed the cab and puts it down.
"Spider-Man and Shinobi! Always getting in the way!" Venom said as tendrils appeared on his back and had sharp teeth come over his mouth. "Not for long!" He yelled attacking the heroes with swipes from his claws.
"Come on, Venom! Let the person you're on go!" Naruto said thinking if he should use his shock ammo but decided against it in case Harry got hurt.
"Hoo, boy! You think you may have some control issues here or what?" Spider-Man said hanging upside down from a light post.
"I'm in complete control. I can do anything. I'm the best Spider-Man there is!" Venom yelled standing up as more tendrils sprouted from him.
"Well, that wouldn't be difficult. Believe me." Spider-Man replied flipping to the ground.
They continued to fight on the side of the building, Venom gaining ore of his muscles that he got after getting on Spider-Man from their first encounter.
"Remember who you are!" Naruto yelled as venom smiled with a long tongue.
"I remember! I am Venom!"
Naruto tackled Venom to the ground and crashed on top of a car, crushing the rooftop before jumping off the symbiote and continued the fight through the streets of New York. Naruto brought his tonfas out and spun them before flipping them to the inside of his arms and attacked Venom with several forearm strikes and blocks Venom's own strikes.
Spider-Man followed suit by webbing Venom's eyes and then had Naruto hit him upside the head with his tonfas. And revealed Harry's face for a second. Spider-Man attacked as well and each hit showed Harry's face before being wrapped by the symbiote.
"Help me! I-I can't-!"
"Yes, you can." Venom said before throwing the heroes at a fire truck.
"Fight it!" Naruto said before Venom grabbed Spider-Man and bounds away
"Oh, come on!"
Naruto followed to see Venom crash into Oscorp as Norman was holding a meeting.
"The great Norman Osborn." Venom said as Naruto stayed near the edge of the room in case Venom tried anything. "You never know, you never cared."
Spider-Man then got up and quickly attacked Venom before jumping to the ceiling.
Naruto then tackled Venom out of the window, used his shock ammo getting Venom to screech, and had Harry's back appear and then used a rope to pull the teen out.
(HISS!)
Venom lunged at the ninja, only for Naruto to use his shock ammo and then had a jar appear from a scroll he threw, trapped the symbiote, and sealed him back in the seal. They then landed on the ground as Spider-Man dropped down
"Guess I owe you, big time," Harry said as Naruto pocketed the scroll.
"Nah, but don't do something like this again, it looks like this thing is like a drug. You can get hooked on it if you're not strong enough to fight it. Get some sleep, kid."
Dr. Octavius' Hideout, A Few Hours Later.
Otto watched the fight and zoomed in on Harry.
"So Venom was Harry Osborn? Who'd have thought?"
"Octavius!"
Otto quickly shut off the screen as Norman walked in. "I saw it up close! Right in my own conference room. It's unbelievable! The power, the savagery! Whatever it takes, Octavius, I want Venom!"
Otto stared at him for a moment having Norman speak again. "What's the matter with you? Do you know something I don't?
"Not a thing, Mr. Osborn. Not a thing."
S.H.I.E.L.D. Heli-Carrier.
Spider-Man with his mask off just got done telling Fury about their fight with Venom.
"I think you know more than you're telling."
"(Sigh) Look, Fury, we don't know who Venom took over, but after what he did to them they deserve some rest for the moment." Naruto said without his mask as he stood at the door.
Later, they went to train a little with the team who were waiting inside, masks off as well. And saw them coughing and sneezing, catching the cold Peter had.
"Well look who it is, the original germ spreader himself," Luke said holding a tissue over his mouth.
"I (Cough!) said you'd better not get me sick!" Ava said congested.
"Oh, sorry," Peter said as he just got over the cold on the way to S.H.I.E.L.D.
"GET HIM!" Ava yelled at Peter.
Naruto got out of the way as the others ran after the arachnid-themed hero.
"She still looks good," Naruto said quickly taking a peek at Ava's ass through her skin-tight pants.
Norman's Penthouse, Middle Of The Night.
Harry tossed and turned before a piece of Venom appeared on his ear. He shot up from his sleep and panted after before rubbing the back of his head.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.

1. His background of not liking Spider-Man in the 90's show was his wife was killed by a man in a mask by a mob boss who Jameson was writing about and the Mob Boss killed his wife to stop him.
I guess because of Fox's censor they wanted to do a child-friendly explanation on him not liking Spider-Man/Masked people in general other than 'Taking glory away from cops/firemen/only hating Spider-Man.
OK, a 6 Ch. Update for a tribute to Stan Lee. Someone who has been apart of all of our lives. (Big or small depending on your age.)
He paved the way to humanizing the hero so we as readers/watchers/gamers, can relate to them more.
I can't tell you how many times coming home from being made fun of. (I was never in fights outside of play wrestling with friends and family)
And seeing the X-Men/Spider-Man cartoons and seeing they turned their bullying/prosecutions around to be better/shake it off for lack of a better word and knowing I can do that too.
There will never be another Stan Lee but he will live on with his works in comics, TV, movies, and games. Rest In Peace Stan Lee.
