What's this? Another chapter has been released? This early? Well I'll be damned. I didn't expect to get it out this fast. I hope all of you get to enjoy this, because this chapter was a little tricky to do.

Onto the story!

######################################################################################################################################################

Ichigo was walking down a street of Naruki City, as he was seen in his Spider-Man costume though he didn't really wear the mask. He just kept walking while there were nothing but dead bodies that lied before him, with empty eye sockets and ripped bodies.

Ichigo didn't seem to be bothered by this. Why would he? He's already seen enough dead bodies as it is.

"You have only brought this on yourself…"

Ichigo moved his head upwards. His eyes widened in horror when he saw himself - who was a far distance away - towards his mother, who had her back turned. His other self held a particular weapon that manifested in the form of an ornate sword, reminiscent of a Dadao, with a relatively long handle and a cross-guard shaped like a bird.

"Hey...hold on a second!" Ichigo started running towards them. "Stop!" he shouted. 'Not again! I can't let her die again! She has to live this time! Not me!'

He then felt a cold hand holding a tight grip on his ankle. Ichigo looked down and his heart nearly stopped when he saw one of the dead bodies looking at him with desperation and fear. "Saaaaaaave meeeeeeeee…." was the strangled choking sound heard from the supposed eyelless dead human.

Ichigo shakingly caught his breath as he moved his leg away before he started running again towards his mother. "Mom! Get out of there! Stay away from him!" his voice pleaded with desperation. 'I have the power! I'm stronger this time! I-I can save her!'

He kept running. And running. And running. He aimed his arm so he could fire off his web to pull his mother away. He wasn't sure if he noticed but for the entire time, Masaki had only been standing still, not moving at all. Ichigo was about to fire off his web before he felt a force pulling him back. "What the-" Ichigo looked to see more of the dead bodies holding him, pulling him back. "No! What are you doing?!"

"Saaaaaaave meeeeeeeee…."

"Save us!"

"We need you!"

"So much pain…"

"Help!"

"I...I promise I'm going to help you! All of you! I need to save her first!" Ichigo was getting pushed down on the ground as he was being pinned down. He tried to get out of their clutches but they felt too heavy for him as more of the bodies were coming on top of him. 'I'm sorry...I'm so sorry. I want to help all of you. I shouldn't be selfish but this is something I have to do!'

Ichigo could do nothing but just watch as he watched the imposter brought down his blade, and sliced Masaki's head. Ichigo screamed as the emotions were lingered with terror, despair, and anger all mixed into one. "Noooooooooooo!" he continued to get pulled back but Ichigo desperately tried to crawl back, but it was futile.

He fought with everything he had but it just wasn't enough. He then saw Zangetsu in his spirit form manifesting himself from the shadows, walking towards him. "H-Hey! Old man! I need help!"

Zangetsu casted a brief look at his master before he walked past him. Ichigo was shocked by this. "Hey! What are you doing?!"

"Everything will become clear in 2 years. When those 2 years pass, all of the answers will be clear to you."

"What the hell are you talking about?! What answers?!"

His vision started to blacken. It was getting weaker. But he didn't want to quit. The last thing he could see from his weak vision were two pair of large yin and yang swords. 'Those swords... I... I need more power!' Ichigo thought as he closed his eyes.

Ichigo woke up from his bed. Cold sweat had been shown on his head. He made rapid breathing as he clutched his chest tightly, feeling his heart beating, as if it was gone explode at any second from now. "By the Gods...what the hell was that?" he asked himself from the nightmare he had just witnessed from his own eyes.

Ichigo tried to take deep breaths so he could calm himself down. He looked at the time and it was nearly 6 in the morning. He rubbed his face. It had only been several hours ever since the incident with Carnage had ended. 'I really shouldn't be so surprised…' he looked down with guilt. 'A nightmare of me murdering my mother...why wouldn't I have those? It's what I actually did to her.' Even though he knew that Grand Fisher was the one who killed her, he still thought and blamed himself that he was the one truly responsible for causing all of that, and he could have prevented it so easily if he just listened to her…

He removed the sheets as he walked towards his kitchen so he could get a glass of water, as his throat felt sore now. Ichigo gulped the glass water down his throat till there was nothing left of it. 'Well now what do I do…? There's no way I'm going back to sleep after...that.' Ichigo thought as he shook his head from the nightmare he had. 'Yuzu and Karin won't be up till at least another hour or two. And I'm really not in any mood to go as Spider-Man, or slay some hollows.'

Though it could relax his body, it wouldn't really put his mind at ease. But suddenly, a bright idea came to his head. 'Hold on...who said I had to wait? I could just make my own damn food! I think it's about time I learn how to make it so I don't starve to death!' Ichigo thought as he went ahead to get the kitchen supplies to make his first breakfast. 'Though what could I make? Hmmm...some Takoyaki sounds good. Could use some Curry. Oh! Definitely gonna eat mashed potatoes. Man, I friggin' love those!' he made a small smile thinking about that. 'Well...here goes nothing!'

'About time it's finished!' Ichigo wiped a sweat of his brow as he prepared to set the food down onto the table when he heard his sisters coming down.

"Hey, are you smelling food or am I not just fully awake yet?"

"I'm smelling something…"

The two sisters walked into the kitchen, and both of them were surprised when they saw their own brother set down mashed potatoes. "Uh...morning?" Ichigo said, with an awkward grin plastered.

"Did...did you actually make all of this?" Yuzu asked as she looked stunned.

"Well...yeah. You know. I just thought I could try something new. Do something around the house myself." he answered.

Karin whistled. "Well consider me impressed. This looks pretty good."

Karin and Yuzu sat down and went ahead to pick up their chopsticks, as they chose to eat some curry first before they picked a ball of Takoyaki and put it on their mouth. "So...how is it?" Ichigo asked, as he hoped that they would like it.

"Hmmm...it's not bad." Karin commented.

"I'd say it's decent." Yuzu said. "If you want, I can teach you how to cook better."

"Sure. Sounds good to me."

Ichigo sat at a chair where Gwen was sitting to the opposite side as the two of them at some restaurant. "Ok, remind me again why exactly did you just call me here for?" Ichigo asked, as she had called him here to meet her up for a small hangout.

"Eh. Thought I could call you up here. To, you know, hangout or something?" Gwen shrugged.

"I don't mean to be rude, but why me? Couldn't you just call anyone else?"

"Yeah but some left to another city. Others are busy with some studying in hand. Others...are just weird. Plus my dad wanted me to socialize with people or something like that…"

"Well that explains it…" well now he understood why she called him to get here. "...But you won't really get to talk much. Since I gotta go to Harry's place pretty soon."

"Oh…"

"So what exactly do you wanna talk about?"

Gwen rested her elbows on the table and had her chin rest on her hands. "Dunno…" she looked at him again. "Oh yeah...I kinda heard from others that you have some kind of reputation of beating people to a pulp? What's that all about?"

'Oh brother…' Ichigo rolled his eyes at this. "Yeah, more or less. But it's not exactly the way you think. I don't really do it for a living like some people claim. It's completely ridiculous. I beat up punks that keep harassing me for having orange hair instead of having black. And a lot seem to think that its died when I was literally born with it."

"So...you got all of that for your hair color?"

"That's not the only reason. I can tend to go a little... overboard, on the fights I'm in."

"It can't be that bad can it?"

"...How does putting some people in a hospital sound?"

Gwen widened her eyes. "...Oh... Uh... That's...interesting to know…" she coughed. "Don't you think that's going a little far?"

"Hey, some of those assholes deserved it!" Ichigo defended. "Especially when some morons just keep knocking over stuff that belonged to people who died in some areas, and just think they can get away with it! There is no way I could just stand there and let that happen!"

"Oh…" Gwen muttered. "I didn't know…"

Ichigo shrugged. "It's fine."

"Moving on…is there anything else I should know or?"

"Uhhh... I managed to cook today."

Gwen sparked her eyes in interest. "Really? You can cook?"

Ichigo scratched his head. "Well...kinda. That was the first time I ever did that. My sisters said it was decent."

"Well it doesn't sound so bad for a first try."

"Yeah...but I kinda wish it could be a lot better than that."

"You can try more. It'll have to get better eventually. But at least you did better then what I could do… "

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Ichigo looked at the time on his phone. "Well I gotta be going now. I'll see ya later, Gwen." he said, getting up from his seat and running off to Oscorp.

"See ya later!"

It didn't take too long for Ichigo to make it to Oscorp. It did take him only a few minutes to get to the living room from the elevator he had to take in. When he made it there, Ichigo was confused to see that Harry wasn't there, but instead it was Norman, who had his back turned against him as the head was staring through the large windows.

"Hey, Norman, where exactly is Harry? I thought he was supposed to be here. We were supposed to hang out weren't we?" Ichigo asked in confusion as he saw that only Norman was here as the head of Oscorp was turning his back while he stared out the window.

Norman turned his shoulder while he kept his body still. He gave the young man a blank stare. "Harry is being tutored at the moment at another place. He won't be back for a while."

Ichigo gave Norman a confused look. "I don't get it. He texted me that he was free and had nothing to do?"

Norman fully turned his body around and made a silent chuckle, which made Ichigo become uncomfortable as he was having a bad feeling. "Oh, so you really thought it was Harry? You oughta be more careful what you get into next time. I thought your little spandex agenda would have taught you that, no?" he saw Ichigo widen his eyes in shock. "Or did you still not learn that yet? Then again...I suppose I can't blame you too much, considering how easy it is to fool people using technology these days."

"W-What are you talking about?"

"You're caught under my trap, little spider. I know who you really are, Ichigo. Or would you prefer if I call you Spider-Man instead? You can cut the bullshit denial. I admit that I'm a little frustrated it took me longer than I expected it to figure it out. But I know it's you…"

Ichigo scowled. "So you finally figured who I am now? Oh wow, well fucking congratulations! Give yourself a pat on the back and fuck off why don't you! I also know that you're the Green Goblin!"

Norman grinned, as he still remained calm. "That you do...but we don't really have to fight one another you know?"

"What?"

"You wouldn't be who you are today without my spider that bit you. I wanted you here so I could offer a deal."

"And what's that?"

Norman smirked. "I want you to hang up your black tights for good—"

Ichigo was outraged by this. "Why the fuck should I do that?!"

"Calm down. You really need to control that temper of yours...what I'm trying to say is — I want you to quit your other persona, so I can get the full control of this town. And when that day arrives...I won't get to harm you, your friends, nor your family ever again. You and I will be completely free from one another."

Ichigo gave Norman a glare. "The deal is still no! I'd rather fight you till one of us can't breathe anymore! I try to be the best Hero I can be! A Hero of Justice! It's sick people like you that get in the way because of that! I don't want anything from you!"

Norman had a frown. "So you still chose to do this the hard way then?"

"Do I have to beat your green scrawny ass again to prove my point?!"

"Very well...if that's your final decision, than you will surely regret it."

Ichigo started to leave. "Whatever! I can take on anything you throw at me!"

Norman watched as Ichigo left the room with an angry slam heard in front of him. He made a smirk. 'Oh, we'll see about that soon enough, boy. Don't think you'll beat me as easily as you did before.'

George sighed as returned to his home, putting his police uniform as he was now in his casual clothes. 'I'm really tired now. These shifts are starting to kill me with all these crazy villains continuing to pop up out of nowhere. At least I have the rest of the day off now. Gwen should be getting home pretty soon…' the police captain thought as he rested on the couch.

However, fate had other plans for him instead. The police captain was in shock when the sounds of glass becoming shattered was heard. He looked to see where the direction came from. And George was shocked to see the Green Goblin in his house.

"Hello captain, good to see you're alive and well. Now then, would you mind giving me a little hand on something?" Green Goblin asked with a smug smirk.

George was in shock. But nevertheless he tried to grab a gun and shoot, but Goblin was already in front of him and grabbed his wrist. George was struggling with his arm to take the shoot. Compared to Green Goblin's superior superhuman strength, George was heavily outclassed here. Goblin then headbutted George, which knocked him out in the process. Goblin put a pumpkin bomb on the floor, along with a small paper

"There. That makes things easier for me." Green Goblin then grabbed George by his collar and jumped through the window, landing on his glider in doing so. His glider flied again, going at the speed of 200 MPH in doing so.

'If Kurosaki wants to be a greedy bastard of saving everyone in the entire planet, let's see how well he would do if he can't save one innocent life!' Green Goblin thought as his glider flew away above the buildings he was going. 'Now sure, I could kidnap one of his friends, or even one his family members for that matter! But what good could he do if he fails to save one police captain, what good could he do to possibly save his loved ones! You brought this on yourself, Ichigo!'

'I had to have drawn the most powerful Servant! I know it!' Rin Tohsaka had thought with a smirk while the camera made a close shot on her face.

The camera briefly changed to the mansion where a crashing sound was heard to a floor above her and the camera changed back to Rin crashing on her butt. "What was that?" she asked to no-one.

"Well you probably summoned a Servant, didn't you?" Ichigo said, as he watched the anime known as Fate/Stay Night...or from what he heard the DEEN version of it; on his computer. "Isn't it supposed to work like that or…?"

Camera changed from the door getting kicked open but it was blocked by some locker. The door eventually got kicked open fully, and the camera zoomed out where Rin was shown along with a man with white gelled spiky hair who wore black armor with red cloaks. "Oh, fantastic. Just my luck. I've been drawn to a peculiar little master." the unknown tanned man had the camera towards him as he sat on the table with his elbows rested on the destroyed closets while putting his leg over the other one.

Ichigo gasped before he stopped the video. "Holy shit! That just looks awesome!" he stated a little childishly, as he turned his head and he heard no-one was close to his door. Ichigo got out of his chair and sat on his bed. He put his elbows on the window and rested his leg on top of the other one. "Well, well. This is just my luck. Seems to me...that I've been drawn by a peculiar master." Ichigo said while closing his eyes, trying to imitate the Servant on the screen and tried to make his voice deeper. Ichigo didn't seem satisfied by this. "Nah, not cool enough."

Before he could try another attempt at this, he received a phone call. Ichigo picked it up and saw it was Gwen who was calling him. He found this a bit odd but nevertheless he did answer it. "Hello?"

"Ichigo! You gotta come here, quick! My dad's gone missing!" said a panicked voice from Gwen.

Ichigo widened his eyes at this. He didn't expect that one. "Wait — hold on, what?"

"Someone took my dad!"

"Wait, hold on a minute Gwen...are you sure he isn't just being late from his work or something?"

"No! The windows here are broken and my dad put his police uniform away! He should have came back here at least a few minutes ago! I-I don't know what to do!"

Ichigo made a frown. "...Alright. Just calm down and think. Do you see some...clues or anything like that? Some trail?"

"Not much...except there's a gun lying on the floor, and some weird pumpkin ball."

Ichigo raised an eyebrow. "Pumpkin ball?"

"Yeah. I know it sounds weird and I'm still confused myself but there's a weird pumpkin ball, around the size of a baseball or something. I never saw this in my life."

Ichigo widened his eyes. Small pumpkin ball? He could feel some dread creeping up to his spine. If this was who he thought it was… "Can you send me a picture?"

"What?"

"Send me a picture. I gotta know what that really looks like."

"Ok? Do you know what it is?"

"More or less. Just send me the picture."

The phone call ended. 'Damn it...this is bad. Really bad. If Goblin really is responsible for kidnapping Gwen's father, then it's gotta be my fault. I refused his offer so now he's getting back at me.' Ichigo thought before he received a text message. He quickly looked up and he saw the picture of the familiar pumpkin bomb. Yep, this was him alright. 'Shit! I should have figured. But I don't get it...why would he settle with a police captain?'

Ichigo texted her a thank you and to call the cops to know about this. He then went ahead to change to his costume in less than a minute before he opened his window and jumped through it. 'Please...just don't let me be too late!' he thought.

And so it began: the adventurous Web Slinger searched for the missing police captain, relying on his Spider-Sense to find him. It has been over half an hour ever since the search had began, and Spider-Man was now on the docks that were full of warehouses.

He kept trying to find where Goblin and the captain could be and his first tries didn't really end up so well. That was until he went a little further to one of the warehouses in the middle and he found George tied up to a steel beam on the floor, with his mouth gagged by a blindfold of some sort.

'Hang on captain, I'm coming to help!' Spider-Man thought as he started running towards George.

George saw the hero coming towards him, and he started to shake his head while trying to speak. "Relax, it's just me. I'm just gonna help you get outta here." Spider-Man misunderstood George's body language as he went ahead to take off the blindfold from the mouth.

"— A trap!"

Spider-Man widened his eyes before feeling his Spider-Sense warning him danger. He turned around to see a pumpkin bomb heading straight for both of them. Spider-Man reacted quickly by using a rapid web as a bullet to fire back at it. The moment contact between them was made, an explosion occurred.

"Ah! The guest of honor has finally arrived!" the smoke had cleared as Spider-Man glared at the Green Goblin who was hovering on his glider. "About time! I was beginning to get bored!"

Spider-Man said nothing but instead he lunged in the air by webbing the Goblin's chest, dragging himself to him as he was throwing the punch. Green Goblin took advantage of Spider-Man's momentum by timing his movement by grabbing his wrist, and threw his across a wall which formed cracks. Green Goblin grabbed two more pumpkin bombs and threw them at the Wall Crawler who leaped sideways out of the danger. Spider-Man saw the Green Goblin headed towards him with his glider. Spider-Man crouched down on the floor before he flipped behind Goblin and webbed his back, pulling towards him.

Spider-Man punched Green Goblin's head which sent him crashing on the ground. Spider-Man thought this would give him enough time to run over to George as he ripped off the bindings. "It's better if you get out of here." Spider-Man said.

George got up. "You don't have to tell me that." he pulled out his phone so he could get in contact with the police since he didn't really have a walkie talkie to get in contact, but this way he should still be able to tell them his location. But before he could do that, he felt Spider-Man's hand grab his shirt and pull him back when a razor bat nearly sliced his hand off.

"Just get out of here!" Spider-Man webbed a box as he threw it back at Goblin whom easily destroyed it with a punch. 'I need to get him off his glider. That way I can gain more advantage against him!' he thought before jumping towards Green Goblin whom launched two more pumpkin bombs at him. Spider-Man twisted his body to avoid them before he launched a web at Goblin's face and pulled a punch, hitting him in the process.

George tried to run but the pumpkin bombs got in his way as they headed towards him, to which the police captain ran to his right although the bombs still detonated which sending him back on the ground. George groaned in some pain. 'Can't do that Web-Head. You help this city and save lives. It's time for me to at least repay you back!' George started running the other way of the exit. 'Come on Stacy, this is a warehouse! There's gotta be some weapons here at least!'

Spider-Man ducked under Green Goblin's fist and countered with a spin kick at his armored hip. He made a flip over to Gobby's side and went ahead to to make another jab, only this time for Green Goblin to grab it with his arm and counter by backhanding the Web Slinger. Spider-Man got thrown out of the glider but sticked his fingers on the glider as he sticked to the lower part. Spider-Man peeked his head and his lenses widened in shock when he saw a sadistic grin as Goblin threw a pumpkin bomb thrown, directly onto his face. Spider-Man couldn't dodge this one in time as the pumpkin exploded on his face. "Gaaaah!" Spider-Man thought as he forcefully crashed down and rolled on the floor, with the mask being damaged as it showed nearly half his face, and a part of his bright hair.

'Damn...vision is blurry now…' the young hero thought as he held his eyes while his lower month was showing blood trickling. He had to get eyesight back, now.

'Now's my chance!' Green Goblin thought as his upper glider formed a sword that came from its mouth. The villain charged at the wounded hero as fast as the glider could go so he can finish him off once and for all. Only 3 seconds left to kill him…

But it wouldn't be that simple as Spider-Sense was warning Ichigo of the incoming fatal blow that was coming behind him. Spider-Man looked behind, and using his speed and agility he barely managed to jump sideway out of the danger at a split-second reaction. 'Oh man...that was way too close!' Ichigo thought, as he grit his teeth before he started running away from Green Goblin. He got to the steel beam and he growled under his throat as he tried to take it apart.

"Oh no you won't!" Green Goblin turned his glider and he went ahead to stop Ichigo, only for a bullet to shoot his armor. "The hell?!" the maniac looked to see George was the one who shoot him as he held a sniper rifle.

George tried to shoot Goblin's leg this time but it was a little difficult for him to shoot as this wasn't something he was used to using, and it didn't help when Green Goblin was moving as he threw another pumpkin bomb at him. George jumped and rolled out of the way before he decided to go with a random shot. He shot a bullet again but he missed. "Shit…" George cursed. He really wished he knew how to use this properly.

Sounds of loud shrieks were heard as both men turned their heads to see the superhero tearing apart the steel beam. "Nnnnnnnnnn — Grrhaaaaaaaarh!" Ichigo shouted as he teared up the entire steel beam and lifted it with his bare hands.

"Holy shit…" George murmured as he was stunned at the display of strength from the teenager.

Green Goblin was speechless by this. "Get down!" Ichigo told George. George did so before Ichigo made a battle cry as he swinged the large steel beam at the Goblin. Green Goblin tried to run away with his glider but it was no use. The force of the steel beam knocked his left side of the body, and it sent him spiraling through the walls, and he was out of his glider as well.

Green Goblin was seen hurling uncontrollably in the air. He couldn't stop his body as he crashed on the ground and rolled on it till he crashed his back onto another warehouse. The only thing that kept him alive at this point were his powers. Green Goblin kept withdrawing breaths as he felt like the wind got knocked out of him. He got up and saw that he got knocked back twenty meters away.

Green Goblin glared with hostility. His fists clenched with utter fury as he grit his teeth. 'It's not fair! I was supposed to win! Not Kurosaki! I just don't understand this! My powers have doubled since the last time we fought - and yet I still can't beat him?!' anger had started to get in him. 'No! I can't accept this! I worked too hard to just LOSE here!'

Green Goblin pulled out a switch from his armor, he was a little surprised this wasn't damaged but no matter, it was what he did. "Fine then! If I can't beat him through combat, I'll just beat him the other way! Either way, I won't let him win! He'll know who is his superior!" he started cackling as he pressed the button with his thumb

Ichigo destroyed the glider with the steel beam as he swung it down. He put down the beam on the floor. "There. That oughta turn the tables on my side." he said, dusting his gloves off. He looked at George who didn't seem to physically injured. "You should probably run now and call the other cops to pick you up. Thanks for the assist but I can handle the rest from here since Goblin doesn't have his favorite toy anymore."

George looked at the vigilante's face with a frown. He was surprised at how young he actually looked; hell, he could bet that he looked to be around his daughter's age. "Right…" he nodded his head slowly.

"Something wrong?"

"No it's just... I'm surprised. You look so...young. You're around my daughter's age for God's sake. How old even are you?"

"Sixteen."

"Good lord…don't you think you're too young to be doing this whole...stopping crime?"

"Eh, maybe…" Ichigo shrugged. "But my age won't stop me from doing this. And nothing is going to change that. However...now that you know who I am—"

"I swear I will keep your identity a secret. And tell it to no-one."

"I appreciate it." Ichigo smiled. "But anyway, it's better if you get out of—" the smile disappeared as Ichigo's expression was replaced by shock. The Spider-Sense was ringing immense danger that was coming from this place. It almost made Ichigo get a headache from how strong it was ringing in his head.

Ichigo cried out to George to run as fast as he could right now, but it was far too late for such a thing. He felt his ears ringing, watching in horror as he saw a powerful explosion engulfing him and George at blank range. The detail was small but Ichigo also noticed shrapnel coming at them. Running away was far too late as the metal shards have cut his face, sliced his costume, and cutting into his body as well. The warehouse also started falling apart, crumbling down like a wildfire. Soon the entire warehouse crashed down on top of both of them.

Green Goblin as the warehouse explode as it was crashing down till there was nothing of it remaining. Green Goblin walked back to the destroyed warehouse, and he made a cruel smile as he watched that there was nothing but rubble of it.

"Hah...hahahaha — hahahahaha!" he laughed, throwing his head back in doing so. There weren't any bodies shown, but that didn't matter to him. He believed that his enemy and the cop were finally dead, buried under the rubble. "Yes! I won!" his eyes had shown mad glee. "Hear that, Kurosaki?! I won!" the coward boasted to himself. He didn't care if no-one was here to see this. He won. That was all that mattered. "Not you! Me! How does it feel to lose?! Oh wait! You're dead, so you can't answer that!"

He continued to laugh to himself, but this was cut short when a hand bursted through the rubble, a red gloved hand to be exact. Green Goblin looked shocked by this. The villain watched as the "dead" hero slowly crawled out of the rubble that was on top of him. "Nngh...ah — fuck." Ichigo was fully revealed with the dirty and damaged costume he had on him. Some blood was leaking from his chest and along with blood running down on his lower eye. "Gah — hah — ugh." he panted a little, trying to catch his breath as he was crouching while trying to stand up.

Ichigo managed to fully stand up, and he looked around his surroundings to see amount of rubble that was around him. His eyes went to a suspension of disbelief as he hanged his mouth. He wasn't shocked that he was alive, but more so on the person he feared the worst had happened. "Stacy …?" he whispered. "Stacy?!"

Green Goblin looked in a bit of interest as he watched the peasant beneath him struggle to find the cop that obviously should be dead by now. That interest turned into amusement as he saw Ichigo picking apart the rubble, desperately trying to find any hope lingering even though he himself should know that there was no way a human could survive that. He didn't get it though. Why try search for something that's already dead?

It wasn't until Ichigo threw more rubble to find a skeleton hand. 'Damn it…' he clenched his teeth in defeat, feeling quite foolish. 'He really is dead! There was no way a human would have been able to survive that explosion, let alone a whole warehouse fall on them!' he lowered his head, letting his hair shadow his eyes. 'What am I gonna tell Gwen about this?'

The superhero heard a loud chuckle coming from behind him. Ichigo let go of George's hand, and slowly turned his head to look at the person that murdered an innocent person that didn't deserve to die like this. "What the hell is so funny to you..." Ichigo gave the Green Goblin a death glare, as he was standing up. "Do you have any idea what you've just done?!" his fists were clenching, eyes glinting with rage and killing intent. "DO YOU?!"

Green Goblin merely looked at him with a smug smirk. "Oh please, if you wanna blame someone, you can only blame yourself. If you accepted my offer, then none of this would have happened! Though then again...you said you wanted to be a Hero of Justice. Yet, you can't even protect one innocent life? Wow, consider yourself a failure why don't ya?" he shook his head in amusement. "I almost wonder how well you would do when I go after your precious loved ones.'

'I failed...I failed to save someone. Again. I had the power to help others. Yet, I still couldn't save an innocent life. Actually, no. It wasn't just some life, a police captain and a father was lost, and I couldn't save him in time! If I reacted faster, I would have been able to…' Ichigo was furious. Not just at himself, but at the monster that mocked him. Looked down on him. 'I failed to live up to my ideals! Wait. No. I don't think that's true. I did fail, but I can have the chance to repair them again. And to do that…I have to kill the Green Goblin.'

Ichigo closed his eyes. 'And to do that…I must turn my mind to steel. I can't allow anything else to hold me back. I don't care if my one of my best friend's dad is under that stupid mask. I don't care if I'll end up killing him. I'm sorry Harry, but your dad is just too unstable and too dangerous to be left alive at this point. I cannot allow any more sacrifices to happen just to take him to jail, or a mental institution, only for him to break out and kill God knows how many people for his sick amusement!' he growled under his throat. 'Turn your mind to steel…'

He opened his eyes, and he ripped out the metal shards that were cut into his body, throwing them before he proceeded to launch himself like a rocket towards Green Goblin, with the intent to kill this bastard. Enough was enough. He had to end this.

Green Goblin raised his eyes in shock. On instinct he lowered himself to a fighting stance and his eyes fixed to Ichigo's chest, and he swung his fist at full speed. This resulted in both of them getting hit at the same time, with Ichigo hitting his face, and Goblin hitting his chest. Both men stumbled backwards from one another.

Ichigo recovered by the adrenaline fueled by his rage, as he slams his fist onto Green Goblin's gut, following that by kneeing his jaw, sending him flying back ten meters away. Green Goblin landed on his back, rubbing his jaw in doing so. Green Goblin looked up in the air, seeing the enraged teen not giving him any time to recover as he was already running up to him. Ichigo jumped in the air before going down with his fist ready to attack Goblin more.

Green Goblin had to take this fight seriously now. He didn't dare take his eyes off his opponent. Goblin rolled on the side, and Ichigo's fist hit nothing but the ground as it formed a tiny crater with the size of his hand. Green Goblin quickly took this chance to counterattack by swinging his jab with full force by punching Ichigo.

Except Ichigo managed to grab the fist and countered by making a roundhouse kick at Green Goblin's hip, making a successful hit as his leg managed to break a part of Goblin's armor, cracking bones in the process of doing so as well. Ichigo continued to add by kneeing Goblin in the gut, making him cough out some blood. Along that the teenager gave a backhand to the villain's face while still holding onto the fist he clenched tightly in order not to let go. After the second backhand Ichigo gave, he pulled his hand onto Goblin's mask and proceed to take off the mask, showing off Norman's face.

Now this made things better. Both men were unmasked. Neither of them had any weapons left to fight with. Both were injured and wounded. Ichigo let go of Norman's fist as he let him kneel down on the ground, just so that he would let him breathe. This wasn't even a fight to him. But that really didn't matter.

"Having trouble catching your breath, Norman?" Ichigo knelt down directly in front of Norman, who held out his right fist in pain. ''We just started. Don't tell me you're already out of breath."

It was strange to him. All the pain he felt a moment ago just disappeared for him. He didn't see Norman say anything to him. That was fine. He didn't have much to say to him either.

That wasn't until Norman tried to catch Ichigo off guard by hitting him in the face, which he managed to do by tilting Ichigo's head from the blow. Norman made a smirk, thinking he caught the fool by surprise. The smirk dropped when Ichigo grabbed his wrist, turning around to look at the monster with an annoyed look on the teen's face. Ichigo got up from the ground and lifted Norman like a doll.

'Let go already!' Norman thought with annoyance as he tried to Ichigo with his leg now. Ichigo only stood still and didn't budge from the blow, as if he couldn't feel it. The second time when Norman tried to attack Ichigo again, the teen reacted faster by headbutting Norman, breaking his nose in the process of doing so. "Hmmphm!" Norman's yells were muffled, as his nose started bleeding profusingly. Ichigo pushed him away and saw Norman fall down on the ground.

Nothing would stop him from doing this. He could never turn back on his conviction. For the sake of a man who wasn't saved, he could not let anyone else share the same fate. His mind was as hard as steel. There would he nothing to stop him. He would use any means necessary to dispose of evil, and regardless of the consequences, paying prices means little to nothing for him.

And to make sure he kept up with that ideal of being an Ally of Justice, Ichigo was walking over to Norman, who slowly started to get back up again, but he seemed to be quite weak to do so. Ichigo was tired of playing around, it was already time to finish this, for good. So with that said, Ichigo ducked his head when Norman tried to punch him, and Ichigo responded by ramming his fist right through Norman's chest, breaking through his armor and causing a hole through, as if it was made of a twig.

Norman felt like his body was on fire. "Gh…gack!" he choked up, coughing up blood as he got blown away to somewhere else, with his body crashing against his back. He groaned, struggling to get up as he forced his body to do so. He didn't know how much longer his body could withstand this much punishment from Ichigo. 'Oh God...I don't think he's bluffing! He really is going to kill me at this rate!' he thought as he could stand up now. He looked behind him to see a control switch that seemed to be linked with a hook crane. 'Yes...that could work! It's my only shot to win this!' he thought in desperation.

Ichigo started running towards him, not wanting to give him anymore time to recover. He was going to end this once and for all. There would be no hesitation. And nothing was going to stop him.

Norman pulled the latter down and the crane hook started falling down. Ichigo was warned by his Spider-Sense that danger was coming above him. The teenager looked up and saw the crane hook falling down to kill him. Fortunately his reflexes came to a save as Ichigo lifted his hands and caught the massive hook within ease.

Norman was starting to sweat. "W-Wait a minute, Ichigo. You wouldn't really kill me, would you? What do you think Harry would think about this? You wouldn't exactly want him to think that Spider-Man killed his own father, would you?"

Ichigo scoffed in disgust at him. "Don't cut me that bullshit. If Harry choses to hate me after I kill his father, it would be understandable of him to do so, but he's gotta understand that I chose to kill to save lives from scum like you. Never for a living. If I keep letting you live just for someone else's sake, it wouldn't be worth it if people would die by you. You're arrogant, manipulative, ruthless, and now that you're at your most desperate, a major coward." Ichigo steadied the hook, as he was about to throw it. "Have fun in hell, Goblin!"

Norman watched in horror as Ichigo threw the hook back at him again. He couldn't move his legs well, and because of that the hook pierced through his body. "Gah - guch!" he coughed up blood. He was heavily trying to catch his breath but it was futile as he was about to die anyways. But Osborn refused to give up like this. So he grit his teeth and with all his strength remaining, he pulled the hook out of his body making tons of blood drop on the ground. Norman fell on his pool of pool. He moved his head to look at Ichigo with all the hostility he could muster. "I HATE YOUUUUUUU!" he screamed hysterically, as he weakly crawled towards Ichigo.

"The feelings mutual." Ichigo replied blankly. "Tell me...how does it feel, knowing you're about to die in just a few minutes?"

"SHUT UP! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU INSOLENT LITTLE BRAT!"

"Not a very pleasant feeling, is it. How does it also feel to lose to a teenager?"

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

"Thought so." Ichigo gave the Osborn a cold glare before he started walking away. "Honestly...you're not even worth it anymore. It's kinda pathetic seeing you like this." he then turned back at the pathetic site of Norman before him.

"H-How?! How is it that you're this strong?!" Norman demanded to know this. "Did you become stronger?!"

"Stronger?" from behind, Ichigo almost seeemd insulted by this. "Are you that dense? Let me mske one thing clear to you, you never stood a chance against me in the first place. Sure, you may have gotten a drop on me once or twice. Here's the thing about me, I hold back a lot against the opponents I'm up against. I pull my punches as much as I can, even against other superhumans. That me you just fought moments ago? The one that put a hole in your chest? This is what I'm really like when I'm at full strength. If I really wanted to, I could just kill almost all of the opponents I fought up against. Vulture, Electro, Rhino, Doctor Octopus, Tombstone, Kingpin, and you as well. Hell, put them combined against me and I'll be able to rip most of you apart. I always go easy on people like you, up until now. But you just had to make a mistake in pissing me off as well..." he began to walk away.

Norman was starring to seeth in his own rage. 'How dare he walks away from me like this!' he moved his arm towards the purse where he grabbed the very last pumpkin bomb remaining. 'I'm going to make him pay for this!' he activated the trigger, just three seconds remained till it exploded. "If I'm good to hell...I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME!"

Norman gave everything he had in his strength as he threw the pumpkin bomb at Ichigo.

One second passed.

Ichigo turned to give Norman a death glare as he quickly managed to grab the pumpkin bomb and throw it back at him.

Two seconds passed.

Norman watched in utter horror as the bomb had been countered, and it was thrown back at him. "No - NO - NOOOOO-" he screamed in fear as the bomb made contact on his face.

Three seconds passed. And the bomb blew up directly at Norman's face. Ichigo watched the explosion unfold in front of him. He heard Norman's screams die off completely. When the smoke cleared he saw that there wasn't a head anymore, and instead it was replaced by more blood on the floor.

He was dead. Norman Osborn, known as the Green Goblin, was finally dead.

Ichigo took a deep breath to himself. He watched the decapitated body, and he felt the adrenaline leave him as his rage was starting to cool off. 'I should feel satisfaction that he's dead. I mean, he killed a life that was too soon for him to pass away. And I'm the one who killed the monster, and I know I've done the right thing by killing him as well; if I kept him alive he would just terrorize and kill more innocents. But seeing him dead...just makes me feel empty instead.'

Ichigo stopped clenching his fist and looked down at the dead with some pity. 'Although...I kinda feel bad for Norman. Not him as the Goblin of course. But before he turned into...this. I don't think he ever really wanted to go insane like this on purpose. I think the real Norman Osborn died the moment he turned into this thing, and his soul has been replaced by the devil that I'm looking at right now. He would never use his son on the line like that to make me feel guilty just so a worm like him could live longer. If there was any piece left of Norman's soul, I think this is what he would have wanted me to do. He would have wanted me to kill him. Not for the sake of the world. He wouldn't give two shits even if it burned in front of him. But for the sake of his son. And now...since there's literally no head, no-one would ever know that Norman is the Green Goblin. He would just be presumed missing.'

He felt his mind returning to normal now. 'Stacy... I'm sorry I couldn't save you. If only I reacted faster and took you out of that warehouse sooner, you wouldn't be crushed. If I took the blow for myself, you would be alive. I swear, I will make it up to you by protecting your daughter even though I barely know her at all. So this way, I could protect her to fight worth for my ideals.'

And with that, Ichigo began to walk away from the docks, not once turning back.

Ok… wow that took a little longer than what was supposed to, but hey! I finally released this! I'm kinda glad this chapter is finally seeing the light of the day. I wanted to write this for a really long time, and I feel pretty proud for what its become, and what its going to become.

Now for a question, why exactly are MJ and Gwen just classmates instead of the childhood friends with Ichigo? Simple, I retconned it because I didn't think they would fit to be honest, and they really didn't. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and fortunately a good friend convinced me to do this.

Also… Sheesh, poor Ihci...he can't get a break can he? Cause this chapter got messed up really fast... Even I was a little surprised by this.

Also the next chapter will be the last Spider-Man chapter I get to write in this story, for now at least. Right now I'll get to the Hueco Mundo arc pretty soon.

Also, no previews this time. I don't think I'll do them any time soon again, and the next chapter will contain a major surprise that I'm really excited to write. And I hope all of you will like it. What will the surprise be? You'll have to wait to find out!
