Along Came a Spider
Chapter 17: We're All in this Together
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
It had been four hours since Vlad had left the gang of four at the warehouse by themselves. And each one was starting to stir. As they each woke up, they rubbed their heads and looked around.
"What just happened?" Sam asked as the others became conscious.
"I don't know, but does anyone remember the past couple hours?" MJ asked back.
"Couple hours? I don't even remember the past few DAYS," Harry said with a sigh, "but I have a feeling some of this is my fault."
"Yeah, well, we'll explain later. We need to find Danny," Tucker added as he rose to his feet and leaned against the wall, for he was still exhausted.
"And how are we supposed to do that, exactly? We have no clue where he OR Peter is," MJ said with a sigh.
It was true. They really had no way of finding Danny at this current time, seeing as they were knocked out earlier when Vlad had taken them.
"What about the Booo-merang?" Sam asked, suddenly excited.
"The boo-what?" both Harry and MJ asked at the same time.
"The Boo-merang. It's a tracking device that's keyed into Danny's ecto-signature. If we use that, we can find him!" Sam said happily.
"One problem Sam, we don't HAVE it," Tucker said with a sigh.
"Oh yeah," Sam replied, disappointed, but then added, "But we can get it! Harry, can you take me on your flight pad thing to MJ's place to get it?"
"Yeah, I guess so," was all Harry could say. "But how do we get in?"
"I'll give you the key," MJ said, reaching into her pocket and pulling out the silver key. "Here," she said as she gave it to Sam, who put it in her pocket.
"Okay, ready, Harry?"
"Ready."
"Let's go get that thing and find Danny and Peter!"
With that, Harry grabbed his flight pad and jumped on with Sam behind him, holding on for dear life, as she and he flew out of the building and to MJ's apartment to get that stupidly-named tracking device.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
It had only been a few minutes since Vlad had taken Peter into the other room for "experimentation," but Danny was still struggling with his binding to get free. He knew he had to do something to help Peter, because he knew in his heart it was his fault.
If only Sam or Tucker or someone else were here, this would be a lot easier.
As if someone, somewhere had heard his plea, he suddenly heard a blast come from somewhere and turned his head to see Sam stepping over some rubble, carrying an ecto-gun, followed by Tucker holding the Booo-merang, Harry with his glider, and MJ who just looked confused.
Sam looked around and saw Danny against the wall, and quickly ran over to him. The rest quickly followed.
"Sam?" Danny asked as she began to untie him (A/N I forgot to put in the last chapter that he was indeed tied up). "What are you doing here?"
"Well we went back to MJ's and got the booo-merang, and a few other things, then we used it to find you," she explained as Danny became untied and looked back at Sam in amazement.
"Hey, where's Pete?" Mary Jane asked, breaking the silence between Sam and Danny.
"Ah, shoot! I almost forgot. Vlad took him and was going to get a DNA sample for some clone thing he's doing!" Danny said, frustrated.
"He's cloning again? What's he gonna come up with this time, a dog that says it's your aunt?" Tucker said, thinking of Danni.
"No, this time he wants Peter's so he can create a clone with spider powers as well," Danny explained. "But what are we standing around here for? We need to go save him! Who's with me?"
With that, he put his hand out, and MJ, Sam, and Tucker all put their hands on top, but Harry didn't.
"Harry, what's wrong?" MJ asked, removing her hand and going over to where Harry was standing with a glum look on his face.
"It's my fault he's here, my fault for letting that...that...that JERK control me!" Harry said, angrily.
"No, it's not. Once he put that thing inside you, inside all of us, really, there was no escape," MJ said, putting her hand on his shoulder and bringing him back over to the group.
"Okay, so are you going to help us or not?" Danny asked Harry cautiously.
"I'll help, to save Peter and beat that JERK!" Harry said, putting his hand in the group.
"Actually, he's more of a fruit-loop," Danny commented as they all brought their hands up like a football team does before a play.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Peter, in the mean time, was also struggling, but with no hope of getting loose, for he was strapped to a metal table with metal bands around his arms and legs keeping him strapped in. Vlad was hovering in front of him, with an evil smile on his face.
"If you're thinking that you're going to break free, you're wrong, for it's not possible. These restraints and the table are made out of titanium alloy, which is unbreakable by anyone," he said to Peter as he watched him struggle.
"Oh, I know THAT. I'm just biding my time until Danny gets here and kicks your big ghostly butt!"
"Wanna see big butts!" Vlad yelled angrily, feeling offended. "Go talk to Jack Fenton!"
"What?"
"Never mind, boy!" Vlad said, as he got back on subject. "Danny is never coming, for I have that room he's in heavily guarded!"
Just then the door behind him opened and in walked Skulker, carrying what looked like a ham sandwich and talking to Ember.
"So the music career isn't going well, is it?" he was saying.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" Vlad yelled in rage as he turned around to see the two of them. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GUARDING DANNY!"
"Can't a guy take a break?" Skulker mumbled as he and Ember left the room and headed back to where Danny was being kept.
"Some guards," Peter replied.
"Never mind them. Let's get back to business. I think you owe me some DNA," Vlad said, turning towards Peter again. He quickly grabbed a weird-looking rod type thing with a container attached to the end from the table sitting by where Peter was strapped, and flicked a lever. Peter's eyes went big when he saw a bright green beam emit from it.
"Like my weapon?" Vlad asked with a smile. "I call it the DNA Ray. With one touch of it to you, I can retrieve all the DNA I want, which then transfers into this holding device," he pointed at the cup on the end, "allowing me to use it for whatever I want."
With that, he aimed it about a foot from Peter's extended arm, and began to move it slowly upwards, getting closer to his arm by the second. But just as it was about to touch Peter, the door behind him slammed open and in ran Ember.
"Oh, now what?" Vlad yelled, turning to Ember as she ran in.
"The dipstick...he's...he's GONE!" she yelled at him in anger.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
And Ember was obviously right, for Danny and the rest of them (who no one even knew were there) were sneaking through the rooms of Vlad's lab, all invisible because Danny had gone ghost and grabbed onto all of them before going invisible.
"Danny, isn't this risky? Someone could still catch us," Sam whispered to him as they sneaked into yet another room. (A/N, yes I picture Vlad's lab being very complex with many rooms, ok?)
"Nah, we're invisible, remember? No one can see—ah crap, I forgot!" Danny said, letting go of Tucker (who was on his right, Sam on his left), and slapping his forehead in frustration, causing Tucker to go visible for a moment before Danny grabbed onto his hand again. "Vlad developed a new power. He can see invisible ghosts now!"
"Great, just great, now what are we going to do?" Harry asked from behind Tucker (Harry was holding Tucker's hand, MJ was holding Sam's).
"Find where Peter is and hope Vlad ISN'T there," Danny replied. "It's our only hope." With that, they all kept on walking, not saying another word. After a little while of walking, they came to a room that was locked.
"Guys, I think this is it," Danny whispered. "Everybody hold on. I'll phase through the door." And with that he went intangible and phased them all through.
"Well, well, well, look who decided to pop in," came Vlad's voice, for he was in the room, and behind him was Peter, looking mildly confused (because he couldn't see anyone) as he leaned his head up the best he could to look. "And you brought company. How nice," Vlad said, clapping his hands together and smiling.
"Yeah, for us!" Danny yelled, letting go of everyone's hands and going visible again, as he took off into the air, leaving the rest of them helpless.
Vlad too quickly flew up into the air, leaving Peter's table, the table with the weapons, and the controls to Peter's restraints available to anyone who would happen to walk in.
"We should probably help him," Tucker said, looking up at the fight going on above them.
"How, though? It's not like we have guns or anything," MJ asked.
"Here's an idea. GET ME OFF THIS THING!" came Peter's voice from the table in front of them. They had been so busy watching Danny and Vlad have it out, they almost forgot about Peter, who was still stuck to the table.
"Oh, right!" Harry said, running towards Peter, followed by the rest. "I'm guessing this controls the table," he said, reaching for a lever on the end and pulling it. Instantly the restraints were gone and Peter was free.
"Thanks, man. It sure is great to have you back," he said, hugging Harry for a brief moment.
"It's great to be back, even though I don't remember anything," Harry commented, as he looked down at the table next to where Peter was just stuck. It had several weapons laid upon it, all used for different purposes.
"Hey guys, everyone grab a weapon and let's help Danny!" he cried as he grabbed none other than the same shield that Oscorp had been inventing (the same one from that night when Skulker and Danny had battled it out). "Although I don't know how this got HERE," he commented.
Sam, Tucker, and Mary Jane all grabbed weapons too. Tucker ended up with the sword Oscorp was inventing, Mary Jane with an ecto-goop gun, and Sam with the versatile rod from Oscorp's labs as well.
They all turned around, prepared to fight, as Danny and Vlad both lowered to the ground, deciding to battle it out on land.
The gang ran up behind Danny, Harry in the lead (feeling he had to help beat Vlad for what he had made him do), and once they were behind him, he yelled, "If you want to defeat him, you have to defeat all of us!" With that he pressed the activation button on his shield and held it in front of him. The rest of the group did the same, switching their weapons to "on" (or in Danny and Peter's case, preparing to use their abilities). Tucker waved his sword, Sam whipped her whip, and MJ aimed her gun right at Vlad.
"Move, and you're toast, Plasmius," Danny yelled.
"You all think you can beat me, Vlad Plasmius, when I managed to defeat you all on many occasions," Vlad commented slyly and he slowly began to ascend from the ground, and in doing so, every single one of them ran at him, weapons bared, prepared for a fight.
Danny's blast hit him first, though, causing Vlad to fall to the ground, but he got up again.
"Daniel, when will you learn that your blasts barely weaken me anymore," he commented.
"Oh, never I guess, but I'm willing to bet this will!" Danny yelled as Sam ran forward, whip in hand, and whipped it right at Vlad, hitting him in the face and making him fall down and not get up again.
"Now, now, young lady, we don't want to be running around with dangerous weapons, now do we?" he said in a fatherly-type way.
"Oh, I think I know the difference between dangerous and not, and right now, the only danger I see is you. Get him, Tuck!"
Tucker ran forward, his blade pointed forward, straight at Vlad, and he quickly swung it at him, hitting him directly in the shoulder.
"Ow, that hurt! Put it down!" Vlad yelled, still a little too weak to get up.
"Hey, Peter, how 'bout we shut him up!" Tucker yelled back to Pete, who was ready and waiting.
"Good idea!" And he aimed his web right at Vlad's mouth, causing him to shut up in deed.
And now it was MJ's turn to get her just desserts. She ran forward towards Vlad, her gun ready, and pulled the trigger, sending out a wave of ecto-goo, causing Vlad to be stuck to the wall.
"Finish him off, Harry. We all know you want to," MJ told Harry as he approached Vlad with a look of hatred in his eyes.
"You can take over me, make me evil, heck, even take away my company, but when you try to harm my friends like that, THAT'S when it's time to pay!" he yelled at the man in front of him.
"Hey, Sam, toss me that belt thing we brought along!" he called back to her. She quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out the specter deflector, tossing it to him.
"I knew we would need that," she said, remembering grabbing the specter deflector earlier at MJ's place.
Harry approached Vlad, belt in hand, and quickly whipped it around his waist, locking it in place. There was a slight shock and then Vlad turned back to human mode as his eyes closed and his head sagged. But Harry wasn't done. He motioned to Sam again, and she quickly threw him the rod. He hit the other button, causing the beam to appear. He quickly hit Vlad with it, HARD, causing him to moan in pain as he went unconscious.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
A/N ok so I ended this chapter here. Oh well, if someone could tell me what day this story is on right now (I honestly forgot if it's the Thursday or Friday of the trip!) that would be much appreciative, so I know how much more to write! Please review guys, for this was one of my better chapters!
