Back with Moria, she was alone in her house and poured herself a drink when Malcom showed himself again by approaching from behind.
"And I thought it couldn't hurt to add extra security guards." Moria muttered to herself.
"It hurt them..." Malcom said as he passed a few guns from her guards. "...badly. Have you prepared Peter?"
Moria was glad he brought that up this time around and turned to face Malcom. "No. You will not go need peter. You will not speak to him, and you will never step foot in this house again."
"I set you free, Moria." Malcom said as he approached. "Your life belongs to me."
Moria then put the drink down before taking any and turned to him. "I am through being afraid of you."
"You think you can stop me?" Malcom asked with a laugh. "Even the vigilante couldn't stop me."
"No, he couldn't." Moria confirmed, not affected by his threat. "But I know someone who can...Ra's Al Ghul."
That name immediately struck fear into Malcom as his cool face got shattered and he began to visibly shake.
"How do you know that name?" Malcom asked, even his voice cracking and almost stuttering.
"We'll, I didn't...until you mentioned Nanda Parbat." Moria informed him. "The League of assassins, however twisted their aims believes very deeply in a code of honor." She then walked closer to Malcom, seeing she's the one holding the power this time around. "Your Undertaking betrayed that code."
"You told Ra's I'm still alive?" Malcom asked.
"Oh, he was so grateful to hear it." Moria stated as she became close enough she just had to whisper to him. "Because he so very much wants to kill you himself. So my advice, Malcom...run."
Malcom was impressed as he gave a smile and walked off. "This isn't finished."
Moria smiled and knew it was indeed finished, at least for now.
Miles and Peter raced through the city until they thought they were a safe enough distance to finally stop and look back to where they faced off the Rhino.
Peter dropped down and franticly breathed to cool down after that fight. "He...he just couldn't be stopped."
"How do we stop a moving human wrecking ball?" Miles asks.
"We have to find him first." Peter regretted as he got back up and contacted the team. "MJ, Anya, any ideas where our mechanical rhino is?"
"We'll, let's say that he's not exactly subtle." MJ added as they heard a keyboard clicking. "He's at some sort of facility out of the Glades."
"And I'm guessing we're going in the opposite direction, right?" Miles asked when Peter leaped and swung off in the correct direction. "Right? Come on! Would it kill for us-" he then immediately stopped himself from continuing they thought. "Okay, I finally hear myself."
By the time that they got to the building, they were met with a destroyed building and no sign of their Rhino.
"MJ, you sure he's here?" Peter asked.
"Should be." MJ confirmed.
Peter and Miles looked around as they made their way inside and got below into the bunker of it, they noticed there was no sign of Rhino, or just about anyone.
"Looks like Arrow and Rhino had a bit of a kurfuffle here." Peter commented, realizing his slip up.
"Ha! You called him the Arrow!" Miles cheered.
Peter groaned and rubbed his head. "Forget it, I need to get home. Get some rest. You should do the same."
"No arguments from me." Miles said as he walked off and the two made their way out.
The next morning, Peter was at least healed from the fight very easily. Groaning, Peter made his way out of his room and left his suit behind. He made his way down the stairs and made it to the living room.
Once there, Peter noticed the Christmas tree was being put up in the room with his mother overseeing it.
"Morning, sleepyhead." Moria mentioned as Peter sees he slept in until around noon.
"Wow. Didn't noticed." Peter muttered as he rubbed his eyes. "Guess last night took a lot out of me."
"Well, you took on a Rhino, if what MJ informed me of was any indication." Moria said as she looked him over. "Anything injured?"
"Anything broken is easily fixed." Peter assured his Mom.
"Don't be getting cocky out there." Moria warned him, knowing that's been known to cause the greatest men to fall.
"Trust me, I'm staying on my toes every step of the way." Peter assured her when his phone went off. "Hey?"
"The police have an lead on Sytsevich. Miles is on his way over, despite his objections I convinced him to go." MJ informed him.
"I'll be right there." Peter said as he hung up and looked to his mom. "Something happened. Rhino's about to be cornered and those cops don't have it in them to take him down alone."
"Be safe." Moria asked of him.
When Miles arrived, Quinten and Lucas made their way in with Yuri leading a SWAT team in as they looked around an empty building. Well, not empty, but deprived of anyone.
As they looked around, Peter and Miles senses something when one of the men are killed by a flying saw.
Rhino then leaped down and laughed as he raced in, the two Spider-Men quickly acting as Peter and Miles shoot webs at their backs and rescue the cops, Yuri noticing the two were there.
"Thanks for the Dave." Yuri tells Peter.
"No worries." Peter said as he and Miles leaped in to attack Rhino.
"Back for round two, tiny Spiders?" Rhino asked as they noticed he was clenching something in his fist.
"He is, I wasn't." Miles said and looked to Peter.
"Good jug standing at my side, man." Peter replied as he ran in and went to punch Rhino when his fist came and punched Peter like he was nothing and sent him flying into the wall.
"Oh crap." Miles whispered as he saw he was the only one left to stop Rhino. "So...any way we can just talk this out?"
"Oh, we will talk." Rhino promised with a grin. "With my horn!"
"That's not even a sentence!" Miles cried as he shot a web net to catch Rhino, but he just tore through it and kept going.
Rhino went to punch him and Miles quickly dodged by going through his legs and shooting more webs at him, but none of them are working. Taser webs don't affect him, ricochet webs bounce off him, and web grenades only hold him down for a moment.
"Your penny webs have no affect on me!" Rhino cried as he grabbed Miles by the face and started to squeeze.
Miles let out a cry of pain, causing Peter to immediately wake up, and his entire suit to reform back into its black form and he bashed his way out.
Peter shot two black webs at him, shocking Rhino when the webs were actually holding him back.
"What!?" Rhino cried as he turned to face Peter as he came in and punched him in the face.
This time, that injured Rhino as he was tossed across the building. Rhino was sent tumbling and rolling across the ground when Miles got up and saw Peter's suit.
"What, did you stop to change?" Miles asked Peter, who was currently in no mood for jokes.
"Get everyone else out of here." Peter tells Miles. Ready to finally end this. "Time for me to end this."
"Got it." Miles said, looking over the black and white suit, making a mental note for his own suit later on and made it towards the cops. "Come on, let's get you out of here."
"Thanks, Kid Arachnid." Lance tells Miles.
"Come on!" Miles complained at the name.
Rhino got up and even felt his chin to see if it was broken. "Well, the itsy bitsy spider is decked out on new threads! They ain't gonna help you for long!"
He then charged at Peter who just stood there and waited for the moment to then spin, tripping him up and sending Rhino into the wall.
"Where did you get this armor from?" Peter asked him, keeping Rhino occupied long enough for Miles to get the cops to safety.
"Someone who's dying to get back at you." Rhino answered as he punched Peter, only for him to dodge, leaping over his head and kicking him in the face.
As he was going down, Peter grabbed his foot and spun Rhino around like he was nothing this time. "And who might that be? There's a lot of people that have it out for me." He then tossed Rhino into the wall again before webbing him and spinning him again.
"This...can't be possible." Rhino groaned as he tried to get back up.
"It's possible alright!" Peter cried as he leaped on top of Rhino and grabbed him by the horn. "Now who are you working for?"
"You know what he'll do to me if I told?" Rhino asked.
"Something worse than this?" Peter asked as he grabbed the tip of his horn and used his legs to steady himself as he ripped the horn off of the armor, causing Rhino to cry in agony.
Rhino then tossed Peter off his back, sending him flying into a bunch of pipes before hitting the ground. But it didn't stop there when the pipes all hit the ground, causing a sonic vibration that caused Peter to last out and the suit to almost look like he was leaping off his head, revealing something else.
"What the...?" Rhino asked as he saw the otherworldly creature trying to leap off of Peter.
But before he could look into it, Miles came leaping in and kicked Rhino himself, finally knocking him out and breaking a few extra pieces of armor.
"Pete?" Miles asked as he ran over and helped his friend up and wondered what happened to his black suit. "You okay?"
Groaning, Peter got up and took Miles' hand as he got back up. "I'm okay." He then looked over towards Rhino and was shocked at the thought he did that. "Did I do that?"
"Yeah, and you saved lives of all the officers." Miles informed him as he patted Peter on the back. "What about that thing he was carrying?"
Peter walked over and pried open his hand and saw whatever he was carrying got crushed and sent flying when he was tearing him a new one.
"Well, whatever it was, it's gone now." Peter shrugged it off, seeing it as nothing to worry about now.
Miles then looked and saw the time. "You know, if we hurry, we can watch them turning on the particle accelerator in Central City."
Peter shrugged and looked back at Rhino who wasn't going to be going anywhere anytime soon and saw their work was done.
"Yeah, let's get out of here before less enthusiastic vigilante supporting officers show up." Peter agreed as he and Miles swung themselves out and left Rhino for the authorities to deal with.
And none of them were the wiser about the fact that the parasite Peter has is slowly corrupting him. But to him...the suit was just powerful. It allowed him to save Miles. The suit's supposed to be dangerous, but all it is so far is a weapon that he can use to save people. Without it, who knows how much damage Rhino could've done? But with it, he stopped Rhino, saved Miles, and God knows how many more people.
