Lala blinked "Origin? What do you mean?..."

Peke said slowly, as if trying to understand themselves "I believe... Rito-San wants to tell us how this all started.. Am I correct?"

Rito nodded "Right in the money... Be warned, this story is not for the faint of heart," He looked her right in the eyes "And if you desire to not be my friend, I would understand..."

Lala looked at him as if he grew an extra head "I would never that, you are my best guy friend!"

Rito shoved his hands in his coat pockets "We'll see about that..." He took a deep breath "To understand how Spider-Man came to be... I'll start off with that night..."

Lala and Peke stared " 'That' night?..."

Rito nodded "The last day of the Stark Expo."

(Seven years ago)

A small boy looked around with bright eyes at all the flasjmhing lights, Everything was so bright and priming with energy that the child couldn't help but feel powered by all that was happening "Wow! This is so cool! Right mama and papa?" The child turned to his parents

Mama was a tall woman with similar colored hair and eyes, a nice casual outfit consisting of skinny jeans, tennis shoes, a white buttoned shirt opened to reveal the black v-neck underneath. Papa was a man in disheveled and wrinkle t-shirt of a monkey holding a wrench, baggy pants, sneakers and a Red bandana on his head. On papa's shoulders was a smaller girl in a yellow dress with matching ballet slippers and eating cotton candy.

Mama smiled at her child "Yes Rito, it is really cool but don't run off too far, or we might lose you! Then scary monsters might gobble you up like... This!" The woman lifts the boy up and tickles the boys tummy with her nose, earning a happy giggle from her child

Papa chuckled and turned to the girl on his shoulders "Sweet isn't it?"

The girl only looked at them and shrugged, chewing on her candy. "I guess?" This earn a bead of sweat down the man's forehead

"Haha... Well, I think we should start heading to the presentation area, I think that new thing coming soon." The man said, trying to steer them on topic

The woman rolled her eyes and set her son down "All it'll be is just Justin Hammer trying to out-Tony-Stark Tony Stark! And do I mean say falling while doing so?" She stuck her tongue out gave a thumbs down

"But what if it's something cool? Might inspire a possible future Manga?"

"Hmmfp, maybe, just don't be caught plagiarizing... Again."

"Oi... Just because you Take a few elements of a old soldier doesn't make you a plagiarist."

"Honey, you literally just remade Captain America."

"He won't mind, hasn't he been dead for 50 years or so?"

While his parents were discussing the father's need of research materials, the boys eyes caught of some new flashing lights. Enthused, He ran to what the lights were and it was what looked like a toy store. The inside was filled with shelves of red and yellow robot action figures, racks of costumes of the robot and helmets of the robot's head!

The boys eyes shined "So cool!" He ran in and grabbed a figure and proceeded to fly it in the air and make plane noises.

Sounds of clicking caused the boy to look around and see his mother holding a camera, taking some photos of him "Oh, you look so cute!" She gushed

The boy shrugged it off and showed his mother the toy "Look Momma, a robot!" He happily said "Robots are everywhere!" He said running to the toy helmets

The mother smiled fondly "Perhaps, but that isn't a robot, Rito."

Young Rito held up a helmet in front of him "Nope, Robot, see?" He said placing the helmet on his head "Now I am the robot, beep boop."

The mother laughed at her adorable son, knowing She couldn't convince as of now decided to just roll with it "Well okay, 'Mr. Roboto', Let's head to the arena, the show is about to start, Papa and Mikan are waiting there with seats."

Rito nodded but stayed in place "Momma?"

"Hmm? Yes?"

"Can I get this? It's so cool!" He said pointing at the helmet

The mother smiled "Okay, My little Iron Man."

The mother and son went to the checkout station to pay for the helmet and a pair of glowing palm-lights They found on the way. The mother giggled madly when She saw her son try to pay by asking her for money, which She gave to him, only for her to take it back as He couldn't reach the counter.

Peke decided to ask "Rito-San, I have to ask, where was this Stark Expo?"

Rito shrugged with one shoulder "Queens, New York, That's in America."

Lala tilted her head "America?"

Rito nodded "Yeah, one of the most powerful countries on the planet, not without it's misgivings, but still good."

Lala nodded as Peke asked "But why were you all there?"

Rito shrugged again "In America? Visiting my Great Aunt May, Great Uncle Ben and Baby Cousin Peni. The expo? My mom thought 'what the hell?' and made it a field trip."

Lala's interest was piqued "Great Aunt? Great Uncle? Are they cool?"

"The coolest, but not why they are named that, They took care of mom when she was younger. I think that's enough exposition.."

"Expo-what now?" Lala said confused

Soon they traveled to the main presentation area of the facility and were amazed at just the enormous number of people, Young Rito paid not too much and kept shining things with his palm lasers

"Pew Pew."

His mother picked him by his armpits "Look, I see Papa and Mikan." He looked to see his father waving them down while holding down a seat, Mikan sitting comfortably in his lap drinking from a juice box. THEY made their way to them and sat down as well, Young Rito in his mother's lap.

"I was lucky to grab these seats, the whole place is packed!"

The woman rolled her eyes "Yeah, just hope old Justin doesn't make a jack..." She stops to look at her children "-BUTT out of himself like usual..."

Suddenly, loud guitar music begins playing as a man in a suit and glasses strolls onto the big stage doing a small jig, doing a spin and and shuffles to a podium that was there.

The woman stared deadpanned "Spoke too soon..." As the audience applauded his arrival, with the man soaking it all up

Soon, the man reaches the podium and places two hands on it while smiling to the crowd "That's what I'm talking about! Thanks for coming!"

Young Rito looks to his mother "Who is that, Momma?"

The woman looked to her child "Justin Hammer, of Hammer Industries. They make all the big bad weapons soldiers and police use protect us, though you wouldn't think that looking at how this guy acts..."

Rito didn't quite understand and turned to the man who was beginning to talk again, while smiling "Ladies and Gentleman, for far too long, this country has had to place its brave men and women i harm's way." He smiled a bit wider "Then, The Iron Man arrived and We thought that the days of losing lives were behind us." He drops the smile as He looks to the crowd "Sadly, That technology was kept out of reach. That's not fair, That ain't right and... It's just too bad."

Rito could hear a lady say in a annoyed whisper "Oh lord..."

Hammer continues "Regardless, It was an impressive innovation. One that grabbed headlines the world over, Today, My friends, The press is faced with quite a different problem." He said ominously, Making Rito wonder what He could mean?

Hammer smiled "They are about to run out of INK!" He said joyfully

The audience was dumbfounded, unsure if that was meant to be unfunny or not. A few gave the CEO a few pity claps of applaud.

Rito just sat there beginning to be a little bored, He yawned wondering when something cool will happen

Two people ran over to pull the podium away from the man as He placed his hands on his hips "Ladies and Gentleman, Today, I present to you, the new face of the United States Military!" Hammer announced, hoisting his arms to the air before pointing to behind him "THE HAMMER DRONE!"

Suddenly Lights flash and video of soldiers marching played on a screen behind him "ARMY!" He said, as a large group of green robots rose from the floor, big and bulky They were armed to the (Lacking) teeth with weaponry, the most notable weapon was a shoulder mounted Tank gun. This got WAAAAY more applause

Hammer pointed to another part of the floor as the screen showed a crew working on a ship "NAVY!" A large group of blue robots appeared, looking quite similar in build to the army robots, but instead of the tank gun on their shoulders, it was 2 guided missile launchers.

Hammer continued and said "AIR FORCE!" As another group of robots appeared, looking like a slimmer version of the other bots with no notable weapons in sight. If older Rito had to guess, it was probably to be more Aero-dynamic as it was part of the air force.

Hammer finishes by announcing "MARINES!" As a final group of robots pop up, these had a camo-paint job to probably assist with stealth.

Rito's father clapped merrily with everyone else in the audience along with his son who had sparkling eyes underneath the mask He wore "Have to save Hammer is quite impressive, eh Ringo?"

Ringo crossed her arms and stared at the mechs "Something doesn't feel right..." She said watching Hammer try and diss stark by comparing his unveiling drones to Tony Stark's entrance on opening day with the cheerleaders "Very wrong..."

Hammer eating up all the attention motioned to the audience to quiet down "But as revolutionary as this technology is, there will ALWAYS be a need for a man in the theater of war." He said walking to the front of the stage again "Ladies and Gentleman, today I am proud to present to you the very first prototype of.. the variable threat response battle suit and its pilot, Air Force Lt. Col. James Rhodes!" He said, presting one last robot sprouting from the floor.

A dark blue and gray suit with large arm cannons , a shoulder mounted machine gun, large arm gauntlets standing very imposingly in front of all the mecha. He made a salute that all the robots copied, along with Hammer.

Hammer smirked "For America and its allies, Hammer Industries is reporting for-" Hammer cut his sentence as He looked tot he distance making many others look as well before the robot Rito had saw before in the gift shop

He tugged on her arm as the robot landed "Look, Momma look! The robot!"

Ringo looked to the sky to see the flying man in red and gold soar over the audience and land on the stage next to Col. Rhodes. She hummed "Stark crashes his own party again.."

Suddenly, The red and gold man walks up to Hammer and stands over him imposingly and could be heard from Hammers microphone

"Where is He?"

Hammer appeared confused from what He saw "What?"

Iron Man persisted "Where Is Vanko?"

"Vanko?" Lala and Peke asked extremely lost

Rito explained in great detail "From what is known, A scientist named Anton Vanko fled Russia and worked with Howard Stark, Mr Stark's father, into designing the Arc Reactor, a source of unlimited energy. But Vanko was caught stealing secrets and was sent back, where the authorities tried catching him for stolen plutonium. He died penniless while on the run. He had a kid named Ivan, who was raised in such in environment and swore vengeance on Mr Stark for what his father did to his father by making himself an arc reactor."

Peke blinked but understood while Lala was still in the middle of processing that information when Rito continued

"With the Arc reactor, Vanko tried killing Mr Stark and nearly did it when Mr Stark used his cunning to survive. Justin Hammer, seeing that fight, faked Vanko's death, broke him out of jail and hired him to make his robots beat Mr Stark. But He betrayed him and... I'll get to that..."

"Rito-San, you sure do know a lot about the Vanko's.." Peke said in awe of the info-dump

Rito shrugged "Well... You could say Vanko was my first bad guy..."

Hammer tried to play innocent "Who?"

Iron Man was having none of it "Tell Me."

"What are you doing here, man?" Hammer tried saying casually

That was until Col. Rhodes began to shake suddenly, Iron Man turned to see what was going on when machine gun deployed! This shocked the audience

Iron Man was also shocked "Is that you?!"

Col Rhodes could Be heard saying "No, it's not me, It's not me! I'm locked up, I'm locked up!" Suddenly all of the hammer drones rose their arms and deployed their arm cannons! "Get out of here! The whole system's been compromised!"

That was enough for everyone to know the Expo was dangerous now and everyone rose from their seats and ran to the exits as fast as they could, the Iron Man flying into the air to draw their fire, making them only shoot glass which fell on some passerby's.

Both Yuuki parents got up as soon as everyone else did, clinging their children as tightly as they could while running. Mikan looked scared as Rito swallowed the fear He did have, They were going to be okay, Momma and Papa were her right?

Suddenly some runners bumped into Ringo, making her lose her grip and drop Rito while falling to the ground herself! Her husband knelt to her side as Rito picked himself up when a wave of people came up and dragged Rito away! The parents and Little sister noticed this and screamed "Rito!"

"Momma! Papa!" The child screamed, being dragged along against his will. He tried desperately to pull himself from the crowd only for more people to come and suck him in.

"Stop! I want to see my Mommy and Daddy!" He screamed, as The crowd slowly started to spread out after a few minutes. taking his chance, Rito leaps from the entanglement of limbs and lands on the floor, breathing heavily. He notices He was far from where He last saw his parents. Suddenly loud explosions surrounded him, knocking people off the ground He sees the Marine drones were firing their shots. He moved as to get away from them, while having no idea where He was going.

Suddenly He halted.

He saw it. Staring right at him.

It saw an Army drone, tall, terrifying, and most of all, deadly looking. Rito tried to stepped backward only for the machines tank gun to deployed and aim. straight. at HIM.

Rito stood in fear as it stared at him, Rito rose his arm as trying to communicate and trying to tell it to stop when the gun made a noise, looking like it was about to fire.

Rito began to cry from under the mask. He was so scared... Momma?... Papa?... Mikan?... Anyone?... He closed his eyes. Help me...

Suddenly a loud fired and He screamed! And He felt... Nothing. He was completely fine. He opened his eyes to see the drone was blown to pieces. It was dead but how?...

He heard a step from behind him and He looked directly at the Iron Man, Holding his arm out like Rito. He saved him.

Iron Man looked at Rito and stared into his eyes. But Rito wasn't scared, He felt more in awe of the hero, Such power. such speed. Such utter coolness! Iron Man Nodded as his boots lit aflame and He flew a few feet in the air, giving Rito one last look and said something to him, words He will never forget.

"Nice work kid!"

Those words echoed through his mind as Iron Man flew into the air and start beating up all the Hammer drones like it was nothing! He did it with such style and such finesse, Rito didn't notice the tackling hug that came for him from behind, He sees his mother holding him with tears in her eyes and slowing cooing into his ears. He slowly shifted the helmet off his and looked his mother right in the eyes "Momma?"

She cried more "Oh my Baby, I am so sorry... Are you hurt?.."

He shook his head "Nope. An angel saved me!"

She smiled "An angel named Iron Man I guess?" She said as Her husband ran to them and Mikan ran and held her brother tight.

Rito didn't mind, He had something to ask "Momma... You said Iron Man had another name... What is it?"

"His name is... Tony Stark."

Rito tasted the name "Tony. Stark." He nodded, getting it right "Tony Stark is so cool!" He said, eyes flashing.

"And from that moment on, the highest greatness in my life was Mr. Stark." Rito said "Even when Norse gods and legendary super soldiers arrived, their was no one cooler."

Lala and Peke were in awe. such an event? It was like a knight coming to save the helpless people in fairy tales. That could actually happen?

"I dedicated myself to following Mr. Stark's life, I learned that even at a young age, it was obvious He was meant for greatness. The fact that being a badass superhero was actually a recent acquisition at the time was a sign that anyone could do anything if They put their mind to it." Rito smiled fondly "I had passing interest in studies as a kid, but it remained a passing as I couldn't see a point to doing research at that time and was just going to goof off and play games, Mr Stark changed that amd mow, I'm one of the highest rank in the city of over 2 million." He said with a hint of pride

Lala stared at him and felt amazed that He could just do it like that, and actually a little jealous at having such a cool story, as one who only really ventured to a few miles from the castle with a squadron of guards always tailing her.

"That was... an interesting tale, Rito-San, but how does that event matter?" Peke asked

Rito sighed and pulled a piece of gum from his pocket and began to unwrap it "Like I said before, Everything that comes afterword to this point in time was dictated by that one fateful day, as I am not some idiot who has to go to several cram classes to get out of zeroes all the time." He takes the gum and tosses it in him mouth and chews, He offers some to Lala who also takes a piece "Instead now is what you were actually expecting, the 'Spider-Man' portion of this story."

Lala shyly nods while her left cheek was pudgy due to the gum

"Well... Might as well give em what they want. So why not?"

Rito spitted out his gum into the wrapper He had and stuffed it in his pocket. He motioned over to a park bench "Come on, this'll take a while."

They sat and Rito spoke again "Y'know... It is unbelievable to say 'My whole life changed in a single night' but I will contest to that with saying that has happened to me three times: One was the Stark Expo, another was when I met you... And the third... Was when I encountered the Spider..."

Yuuki Rito stood outside of the special research division of Sarutech's main experimentation headquarters. The reason why He was here was simple:

"Single file Ladies and Gentlemen, We are invited as honored guests and will not bring shame to our school with any tomfoolery!"

A field trip. The last field trip before they were meant to crack down on their exams for High school entrance tests, this was meant to be a motivator for any students on looking into the field of science... or at least test dummys putting it all on the line for the sake of science and paying rent on time.

A raven haired girl with an armband led his class while holding a directory in front of a female scientist "And remember, any disturbances will result in a immediate timeout and removal from the tour, do you understand?" She said, extremely serious

"Geez... Who knew Kotegawa could have that stick up her ass when it's meant to be a fun trip.." A whisper to the side of Rito said, coming from his partner in this venture.

Rito whispered back "She is only doing her job, Kenichi, I think we could her a break, this IS real important."

"Give HER a break? Ever heard yourself talk cause you are way off dude..."

Rito rolled his eyes. Yui Kotegawa was the leader of his juinor high disciplinary committee and set to do so again when it came time for high school, many give her flack for being a stickler for the rules but He honestly found that quite admirable that she was so determined..

plus always being there to stop bullies from stealing his lunches and shoving him in toilets was nice too.

The scientist from eariler coughed into her hands "Thank you Kotegawa-San, I'll take it from here."

The girl gave a bow "Of course, Sensei" And slid next to her partner... Haruna-chan. He huffed disappointingly, all that praying He'd end up in the same group as her was for naught, Maybe He could of also confessed! Science was romantic, right?

The scientist led them inside the examination room where many screen displayed vast amounts of data, the center held a powerful microscope developed by Sarutech of course, It said to be the most powerful in the world, able to see things at a near subatomic level. They were showed a set of glass cases that led a variety of spiders, She had began to explain the spiders in said cases, like the genus salicus who could leap over forty times it's body length (A precursor to his incredible leaping abilities and parkour), The genus atrax, whose webs were comparable to high tension wire for bridges (That He based his web formula on) And Genus Misumena who hunt on a set of reflexes that seemed to border on precognition (Spider-Sense anyone?). While He was intrigued, his classmates were not so much as He heard both Sawada and Momioka yawning through the explanation.

She herds them all toward a glass case with 15 separated segments, each having a cobweb. "And We come to establish a combine genome with all 3 of those spider for these 15 genetically-enhanced super spiders." Inside each held a seperate spider, any of varying colors and sizes, building homes and trapping prey to each later. They looked quite fascinating.

"Uh... Sensei, they are only 14 spiders."

Rito blinked as the head scientist was taken aback "I beg your pardon?" She asked the questioner who was-! Sairenji?

Sairenji nodded and pointed at the case "See? This one is empty." Rito squinted hard past his glasses to see she was correct, it was only a web inside the small case.

The scientist looked embarrassed as she placed her hand under her chin "I... suppose we must've removed that one for further study..." She quickly moved away "I shall discuss this with my peers, and I'll leave you children to your lunch period.." And She left in a huff

Rito stared at the case, wondering on what happened to the specific spider that had vanished, was it a camouflaging spider? Probably not as the scientist was shocked that it disappeared, so what could-?!

Sairenji stood and studied the case as Kotegawa motioned her to continue with the group. He turned to Kenichi to try and get a word in when He found his friend had vanished into thin air. Alarmed, Rito scanned around to see him walking towards the lunch area, making the nerd gulp.

What does He do now?! Go to lunch? Go to the bathroom? Confess his feelings and sweep the girl off her feet and travel into the sunset? Nope. Not that one, He lacked the arm strength... Damn it! What can He do now! *Thump*

He looks at his chest and remembers the digital camera He had on lanyard around his neck. Of course! Try using his position at the school paper to start a conversation! Brilliant!

"H-Hey..."

Both girls turn to him and He felt a large lump in his throat, He was never good at talking to girls and now He realized two were staring at him! Quick, the plan!

Rito gently held the camera with one hand "I uh... need a picture with some students for the paper... Everyone else left so..." He said awkwardly,

Sairenji only stares at him as Kotegawa crosses her arms "We should be leaving, Yuuki-San."

"I-I know, It's just I need one here and.." He gulped, His palms sweaty, lump in his throat choking him.

Sairenji smiles angelically "I don't mind, It will be really quick, Kotegawa-San."

Kotegawa groans "Very well, One picture then We return to the group."

Oh thank god. Wait, is Kotegawa joining in? Oh well, thems just the works He guesses.

Both girls took to the sides of the spider cases and looked natural with Sairenji looking at the cases while Kotegawa looks at a pamphlet, appearing bored. Not good for giving off any energy but She was really just an afterthought here. Rito held the camera nervously, his hands shaking a little. He had shot girls before for coverage on tennis games and chess matches but here He was with Sairenji!... And Kotegawa, but still! It had to be perfect, so He took a few steps back as He now under an archway

"Are you done?" Kotegawa asks annoyed

"I-I was just getting the right light..." He said now aiming the camera at them, it was a wide shot that showed both of them. Sairenji's hair glistening in the afternoon sun peering from the skylight, a charming smile that could end wars. Pure innocence.

"Wow, You must really like Haruna, Rito!" Lala said happily, making the boy realize He got lost rambling. Lala looked non the wiser as Peke sighed at the girl's innocence

"Y-Yeah... She's cool..." He said, cursing himself out mentally while blushing like a tomato

"Ugh... Now? It's been a minute!" Kotegawa said frustratingly

"Ah! Uh... Just one second!" Rito was driven out of thoughts as his lens refocused, capturing the two again. "S-Say cheese!"

The two girls smiled doing what they were doing for the last minute, Sairenji's smile being so beautiful it caused him to slightly shift and edge some of Kotegawa's hair out of the frame, Oh well, he could fix that in post.

And wasn't his fault his left hand had gotten a bit more tingly all of a sudden.

Though to edge on the air of safety when the image appeared in the paper, He went to ask for another "T-That was good, but I could- Hello?" He sees the two had left the frame and were following the rest of class. Rito now realizes He didn't get to talk to Sairenji much at all just now, He talked with Kotegawa more, dam it!

"Oh geez, Great going, Rito... You blew-OW!" He yelled in pain as His left hand had been the source of the pain to see what looks like a blister, all really red with a little blood leaking out. "What the hell? What did that-?!" Suddenly his eyes pinpoint to a single small object on the floor. It was a spider, an unnaturally colored RED AND BLUE SPIDER!

He bent down to inspect it, it wasn't moving so it had to be dead, a dead, radioactive spider that just bit into HIM. Okay, no need to panic, oh too late.

Rito breathed heavily, scoping up the spider and stuffing it in his pocket and quickly made way to his classmates.. right before slamming into a wall. He gripped the wall as his legs suddenly felt wobbly as He began to breath harder. Gripping tightly to the wall, He limped down to the cafeteria area where everyone else was. He saw Kenichi at a table by himself with their lunches

Kenichi smiled at his friend "Oh hey, what took you long? Seems somebody took a little something out of your-Rito? Are you okay? You don't look so good?" He suddenly looked worried. Rito sat down and ran a hand under his glasses and rubbed his face, feeling very wet.

"I don't know... I just feel sick all of a sudden..." Maybe because of that spider? Oh god what else was going to happen?!

"M-Maybe you're just hungry, come on, Mikan's food should fix you right up..."

"Y-Yeah.. Maybe it could..." Rito said, gasping for breath. He hastily opens his bento and began digging into his chicken when- "HFFMPF?! His cheeks expanded like a chipmunk, his face green. He got up quickly and ran to a garbage can and violently heaved. Bile spewing from his mouth as his ears caught steps running to him

"Rito! What the hell?" Kenichi asked, patting his friend on the back causing more vomit to come out. When He stopped, Rito was pulled from the trash can and a hand was placed on his forehead "Crap, you're burning up!"

Rito's vision was blurry as all hell and could barely make out what anything was going on "I think I might have a fever..."

"Yeah, no shit..." Kenichi's voice muttered as the Rito's sight made him look like a mirage "I think you should head home, sleep this off..."

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm-" He felt a large gas pocket burst in his stomach and he let out a loud burp that tasted like acid "Yeah, sleep sounds good..."

Rito was excused and let back home by the chaperones, and driven by the personal Saruyama limousine. After a few minutes, He made it home, thanking the driver, whoever they were and limped into his house, finagling with his keys before hastily opening his door. He limped in, hearing no voices, which was expected as Mikan was at school, Dad was barely home and Mom was never home.

He didn't trust himself to shower in his condition so He crawled up the stairs and threw his door open. He ripped the top half of his uniform off and grabbed onto a dresser and pulled himself up. He got up to look at himself in a mirror, his vision healed enough to make him notice how very scrawny He was. Thin arms, no muscle or anything. He slowly backed up to his bed and fell on his futon. He pulled a blanket over his body and clung it tight, bright flashes appearing in his mind.

He saw his actual DNA break apart as new bits were added, He felt the little muscle He did have tighten as if to choke him and He let a whine before passing out.

When Rito woke up, He felt odd, for start, their was a cold towel on his forehead. He reached up and lifted it off, looked to the side and noticed a small bowl of water groaned "Ugh...Mikan must've set it up...What time is it?" He pulled out his cellphone and saw it past midnight. He had slept the whole rest of the day! "Ugh... I feel sticky.." He lifted himself from his soaking bed and looked at the mirror again and saw himself looking a bit ragged and messy and-

"WHAT." He said looking at his body, it wasn't pencil thin anymore! He marveled as his body now sported an eight-pack, leaner arms and broader shoulders. It wasn't as big as older kids muscles but they looked a hell of lot better than before!

He raised his left arm to see it closer and poked it to see if it was in fact real. It was. "Holy hell, y'know, this is more like it!" He said flexing his muscles and making a pose like an Olympic god before his stomach growled. He blushed "Oh... I did puke out whatever breakfast I did have... Better grab a late night snack." He said grabbing a random tee from his laundry pile (Specifically One of a Parallelogram equation to find 'X') and quietly sprints done the stairs

He crosses his arms at the kitchen to see nothing prepared, "Huh, Mikan must've not ate because She was looking after me... Great, now I feel like a dick." He said dejectedly "I suppose I could make something for for breakfast... But my cooking skill is on par with Ray Charles' accuracy at the shooting range so what do I do?"

He stood and pondered "Hmm... Instant Ramen? Instant Ramen it is." He said, 100% sure of himself

He walked to the front door, slipped on some sneakers whose soles were a bit on on the thin side, put on a red hoodie and exited.

He quickly ran, admiring that He had a speed boost all of a sudden. He makes it to the 24 hour convenience store, Bought a pack of Ramen to eat now and some for breakfast and left, He quickly sprinted back home to get the food into his stomach when- *Sam Raimi Spider-Sense noise*

Rito halted "What the hell was that?!" He said gripping his head "Jesus Christ, that stings!.."

"Yo kid!" Rito's eyes widened as He sees a delinquent with a pompadour that was large while holding a switch blade "Pleasant time for a moonlit stroll, Eh kid?"

Rito gulped and backed up slowly before bumping into something, He tried to look but a set of large arms grabs him around the waist and lifts him up

"Nice work, big bubba, 'old 'im tight, ya hear?" The punk said walking towards him, causally tossing the the knife up and down his palm and stands in front of Rito, placing the blade right underneath Rito's chin "Mind sharing a donation to the children's youth center? We're really hungry.." He said sinisterly, lightly grazing the boy's skin

Rito gasped "I-I don't have any money, I spent it on food for My little sister and I-?!" Rito's grocery bag was swiped out and held in front of the pompadour teen

"Oh thank- Seriously, not even the spicy stuff? Ugh, guess we'll have ta make do," The teen said sadly as He robbed Rito before looking the big guy in the eye "Shake him down, See if He has any loose change, If He does, we will have to teach him a lesson on lying to his superiors..." The teen said casually licking his knife and walking away

The big guy nodded "Okay, boss." As He squeezed hard into Rito's rib cage and shook him up and down making the boy gasp. Rito quickly begins thrashing around , kicking his legs around to try and break free "Hey, stop moving will-ARRGH!" The big guy said releasing the boy and falling on his back, grabbing his leg that looked caved in "My leg! My leg!"

Rito blinked "Is that a Spongebob reference?" He said, on the ground before picking himself up. Strange... He was sure He never had strength to do something like that! Was it it the spider bite? Wasn't there something about proportional strength?

A third punk gasped "Big Bubba! Why you!" He said brandishing a knife and sprinted at Rito.

Rito's eyes widened "I-I didn't mean to-?!" The noise from before? It was if it was saying...LEFT! Quickly, Rito sidesteps the blade to avoid the thrust to his face, only having to have his shoulder cut "Hey! This is my favorite hoodie!"

The punk, angrily, turned to face Rito who took a few steps back and growled "Wise guy, huh? I am going to enjoy cutting ya to ribbons!" He said making another sprint, but Rito was ready as He quickly swerves along the blade and the guys arms, positions his elbow at the guy's back and drops it hard! This made the man fall to the ground moaning in pain.

A fourth one holding a pipe ran to Rito as well but the boy already had a counterattack as He ducks underneath the overarching swing, gets into his personal space, does a spin and delivers a wicked roundhouse sending the creep far away! Rito smiled, feeling pretty alive at the moment but also confused. He sure as hell never done something like this before, He was only copying stuff He had watched in Kung Fu movies and anime, had this spider given him some sort of super agility?

Pompadour punk sat in awe as his men were dispatched with haste before growling "Okay, fucker! You are dead!" before sprinting after him. Rito made to run when he halted as his left sleeve had a tug, He looked to see punk number #4 latched onto his arm, arm pulled back, ready to strike

quickly, Rito pulls himself away, ripping the sleeve off and and making come in between thug 1 and thug 4. In the spilt second before pompadour could make contact, Rito remembered, the spider's jumping ability! Quickly, He ascends by curling into a ball and leaping into spinning into the air, reminiscent of a blue cartoon hedgehog. Caught of guard by this jump, the leader couldn't stop as He collided into his last teammate, causing both to ram into a wall.

Rito lands and stares at the pile of limbs, before scanning the area to see his bag not far away and goes to pick it up. After He does so, He looks back at all the delinquents He had just defeated, unsure of how to process this now "Uh... I hope this teaches you that picking on people smaller than you is wrong... uh...OKAYBYE." He quickly sprints from the street as the guys groan in pain.

A good distance away, Rito stops and evaluates the situation. The spider bite must have somehow TRANSFERRED the combined abilities of a spider onto him with his body in mind, Him his super strength comparable to a spider's strength time it's body weight if the broken leg was anything to go by...

Rito suddenly felt kinda bad, a little as the guy WAS robbing him but didn't really deserved the broken limb, He would need to surpress this specific power, if not then He could very well hurt someone real REAL bad. That thought legitimately scared him.

He sighed as He reclined against a wall, how was to actually cope with these powers? How could He actually use them in day to day life? The abilities of a spider could only get him so far... right?

Rito halted his thought, did He have every ability a spider had? He looked up to see a spider climbing the wall He was on. He stared before looking at his hands. Slowly, He touched the wall and for a moment, felt nothing, and then-

"Huh?"

His hand... It felt like some kind of force held it in place for a second, He removed his hand and inspected his hand and saw nothing out of the ordinary. He stared them for a minute before looking at the wall again

"Well... I guess I might as well try..."

Rito placed his hand a bit higher up the wall and clinged on. He slowly placed his second hand on a lower part of the wall and stuck to it. He pulled himself, subconsciously lifting his leg for balance. His leg also managed to cling so... He just started climbing. Higher and higher, He marvelled at the tremendous height he had reached before stopping and looking down and noting he was at least 3 meters up.

He smiled a satisfied smirk "Now THIS IS HAPPENING!"

"Wow! That must have been fun!" Lala said joyously

Rito reclined on the bench, hands in his pockets while staring at the sky "Yeah, it was, then it all started falling from there..."

"Wait, if you have all those powers, couldn't you make your own webbing?" Peke said curiously

Rito shook his head "Nope, all of all the powers at my disposal, organic webbing was out of my reach, so I made a substitute webbing comprised of liquid cement, corn starch, a jalapeno, and various other ingredients."

Papa stared at the boy "...w...why a jalapeno?"

"Hey, it took some time to write a good formula and various failed test formulas." Rito said defensively

Lala, like an impatient child, got annoyed at the bickering and bounced on the bench "What happened next?

Rito looked at her and sighed "The following week, I spent researching my powers, every time I left home and every night before coming back, I spent time at the junk yard lifting things, leaping over things and practicing parkour, the art of epic climbing things."

Lala smiled "Oh wow! You did all that while going to school? That's so cool."

Rito then looked uncomfortable, looking off to the side and tugging at his collar. Lala raised an eyebrow in confusion while Peke glares like a disappointed mother "Rito-san, you DID go to school, right?"

"Uh..." Rito drawled on, not giving an answer, which was enough for the costume robot

"You skipped!"

"Only that week!" Rito held his hands up in defense "I needed to know what exactly I was capable of, so I stuck it out and trained for a bit."

Lala tilted her head "Were you discovered?"

Rito sighed "Yes, but... Not fast enough..."

Peke asks "Why?.."

Rito stared at the ground with a certain intensity "I... tried to exploit my powers... make a little money to help pay for college when I get there...So I planned to join this fighting ring on the other side of town..."

He looks at his two companions to see them waiting for him to continue

"...On the day I planned to go, I said I was just going to the library..." Rito suddenly placed his head in his hands "...Of all the days to arrive, why did she have to pick THAT DAY!" He yelled into his palms

Lala's eyes widened "She?.."

Rito sighed once again "Yeah... My mom..."

Rito sat his desk smirked as He filled his bag with his fighting costume. He had caught sight of a forum online of a travelling wrestling group under Sullivan Edwards, a business man from america. He was aiming for the top prize: 30 Million yen, and what does He have to do? Last 3 minutes in the ring with the reigning champion, someguy named bonesaw. AND it was written as a rule, colorful characters a must! SO He had spent and afternoon designing the perfect costume!... Which He couldn't make as He had no sewing experience so He sort of half-assed it and assembled blue sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt, red legwarmers and sneakers, his old red hoodie being incorporated with a spider emblem in front and a balaclava designed to cover his face.

If worst comes to call, Yuuki Rito wouldn't be as embarrassed as He usually is for getting his ass beat again. If He DID succeed, He would use a small portion of that money to assemble the REAL costume.

He wore the sweats under a boring grey hoodie along with something else. On both of his wrists were two bracelets with triggers to shoot his artificial webbing. He means, what really is a spider without webs?

That was a rhetorical question by the way.

He made sure his red hoodie, which had the other arm removed for symmetry, his mask and legwarmer-sneaker combo snuggled tightly on the bottom of his bag and exited his room, quickly stepping down the stairs into the kitchen before tossing a piece of bread into the toaster.

He called into the air "Hey, Mikan! I'm going to be late coming home tonight, gonna head to the library!" He said this while opening the fridge to grab a carton of milk. Always important to have your vitamin D-

"Oh! The library! That sounds like fun!"

Rito's eyes widened as they turned to the direction of the voice that responded to him to see his mother sitting in the living room holding a cup of coffee to her lip. She looks to be waiting for him. "M-Mom?! What are you doing here?" He said, admittingly a little joyful as She had been gone since last LAST Christmas.

Yuuki Ringo gave a playful smile as She set her drink on the coffee table. "I live here, don't I?"

Eh, debatable. He could count the amount of times She stayed in this house with two hands, maybe three if He was generous. He smiled anyway "Hey have you seen Mikan, I just wanted to tell her I was heading out."

"Oh, She went to help your father, the slob. So it's just you and Me, sonny Jim." His mother said, looking him right in the eye

Rito was alittle confused, but thought no more of it when He heard his toast bing. He ran and grabbed the slice, added jam and held it in his teeth. "We-weY? Lat's kool." He said with the piece in his mouth

His mother sighed "Damn it, Rito. You don't do that when talking to girls, would you talk to your girlfriend like that?"

He suddenly thought of Haruna-Chan scolding him in the same way before it shifted into her coming close, removing the piece from his mouth and saying coyly with eyes of allure 'Oh, you have some jam on your lip.. let me help you..' before puckering her lips and-

He bites hard on his toast, breaking it off and caught it just as it was about to hit the floor. He blushed even harder when He heard his mother giggle at him. He gave a embarrassed smile "Saw right though me, eh?"

She smiled "I always do."

Rito smiled as He held his toast to his mouth again and took another bite, and said in between chews "Well... I'm heading out.."

Not missing a beat, Ringo stood up "Is that so? I don't mind driving you to the library, it's on the other side of town right?"

Rito blinked, He couldn't let her know where He was really going and the library was a block away from the fighting arena. "Oh, uh... No thanks, I'll just take the subway." He said in hopes of keeping his mother away

Ringo, on the other hand, had strolled past him to the doorway and placed on some fashionable tennis shoes "Nah, We can still talk on our way there."

Rito suddenly broke into a cold 'CRRRAP, huh... I guess I just have to hoof it from the library then...'

They went outside to where a rental car was parked nearby, fairly new model too, and climbed in and drove off. On the way, Ringo tried prying into his relationships with his friends where He had to remind her He only had one that went to his school discounting his Kouhais in the newspaper club, his relationships with girls that He commented as "If I were lucky to able to look at a girl, would I be talking to Kenichi?" He said taking a potshot at his best friend while making his mother laugh. oddly, her topics of discussion were school focused, Then again, considering they WERE in japan, grades are really the big thing parents cared about. And grandchildren, but maybe that was just his mom.

They arrived at the library as Ringo parked closeby, Rito, to not be late to the fight, undid his belt "Thanks mom." But as He grabbed the handle, He felt a touch on his other hand, He looked to see his mother looking at him with sad eyes "Mom?"

She sighed, not looking away from him "We need to talk."

Rito's eyes widened, When somebody wanted 'to talk', It is never a good sign "We could talk later.."

"Or We could talk now." She said, putting her foot down

Rito sighed, not liking what was being implied "What do We have to talk about, why now?

Ringo let go of his hand and gave a inquisitive look "Because We haven't talked in such a long time, Your father, Mikan and I don't even know who you are anymore."

Rito glared, of course SHE wouldn't, It's been over a year since they looked each other in the face!

"You shirk your chores around the house, have those strange experiments in your room and SKIPPING SCHOOL." Ringo stated disappointingly

Rito snapped back "I wasn't skipping..."

"Yes you are, and you are lying!..." Ringo sighed "Rito, I need you to cut the bullshit, Your father and I know you haven't been to school this whole week, that you have been doing SOMETHING somewhere, it's scaring me..."

Rito gripped his hands tight, getting angrier at the talk down.

"I know what's like to be young, Rito. I was the exact way when I was your age, and I know what you are going though.."

Rito scoffed, looking away "Not exactly.."

Ringo continued "Yes I do! And what you do at this point in your life is what forms how you will be for the rest of it-"

"What? Think I'll be some criminal?" Rito snapped again

"Nononono, Not like that, nothing like that." She tried calming him down, it didn't work. She sighed "I want you to see that I want you to be the best kind of man you can be..." She held her tongue for a moment "Our family, well.. The Parker side of it, has had a saying, One that I had HAMMERED into me by Uncle Ben, but it is.. without a doubt, the greatest advice I could have ever gotten." She straighten in her seat "You are a good boy, Rito. You are so bright, as smart as they come even, but this path you seemed to be walking... is just irresponsible."

Rito glared at her, tears brimming from his eyes "So what?"

Ringo looked him right in the eyes and placed a comforting hand on his "Our family has had a philosophy, one that has held very strongly. And as a young man, almost ready to venture out into that new world you must understand this too." Ringo sucked in a large breath "We believe that in this world, We all have our special talents, things We can do better than anyone else and with these 'Powers' at our disposal, We must interpret how We use them. To what ends will We use these strengths? Will We use them for the good of others? Yes.. That will always be the correct choice. It is our sole 'responsibility' to give it all we got and never go for less, Great things are coming for you, Rito. Really great things. And with that, you will gain a great responsibility." She smiled "Yes, With great power, there must always come great responsibility!"

Rito shook his head, the hell does she mean? Great responsibility? Power? Coming from her of all people?! "Tch! Easy for you to say, Miss hypocrite!"

Ringo's eyes widened "E-Eh?"

Rito snapped again "Oh yeah, going ON AND ON about this ted talk shit, great responsibility? Are WE, your FAMILY, not good enough for your 'POWER' " Rito made a mocking gesture with quotation marks "Months on end, Mikan and I walk in a empty house while YOU travel all over the damn world making clothes?! Do you know how many damn birthdays you missed!"

Ringo looked as if She was stricken by a backhand "R-Rito.."

He wasn't done "Mikan is scared of thunder, you know that? Who does she call out for? Me, not 'mommy' or 'daddy', why? Because you are never there! So don't come at me talking about responsibility!"

Ringo looked as if She was to break into tears "Rito... Baby... I-I know I haven't been the greatest mother-"

"THEN STOP PRETENDING TO BE!"

Lala gasped as She slid back on the bench, Peke's eyes were large as They both stared at the boy who only stared at the ground

Rito gave a glance to them and nodded when He saw their reactions, as He expected "I want to let you know... If I could have a single wish.. give up these powers or even my very soul for a chance to go to that time again... I wouldn't hesitate to punch that obnoxious fucker right in his proud face, I feel like punching myself right now for just thinking it."

Lala let her hands fall to her lap "S-So what happened?"

Rito sighed "I left in a huff... while everything told me not to.."

Ringo stared at her son, at a loss for words. She grabbed onto her steering wheel and peered down on it. "O-Okay... Right..." She said heartbroken

That was when the first pang of quilt stabbed Rito, How could He say that! But.. Was He wrong? No, He wasn't.

Ringo sniffed "I-I'll be here to pick up at T-Ten..."

That was when the second one hit him, so He only nodded and quickly escaped the car as to avoid judgement. For a split second when He exited and went to close the door, He looked back at his mother who looked at him. She was crying. And then the third came out, So He shook his head and quickly walked in the direction of the library.

As He made it to the steps, He looked back to see his mother drive away. Everything in his being was telling, don't do this. Go back and apologize.. for what exactly? Being right? And if He really did feel remorseful, He could just say sorry when She came to pick him up. Just.. gotta do it before She leaves again.

He steps off the steps and treks to his actual location. After a bit of walking, He made it to the wrestling location, a dirty and shabby building, posters adorned every corner, loud music played with the cheers of large audience, blaring lights flashing him in the face, kinda making him disoriented but He would push through.

He entered and followed a sign to the registration, which was closeby to the main arena. It was there He witness the champion, A large muscled man with a mighty beard, a skin tight black outfit with silver spike prodding out. He looked to be climbing one of the corners as a man laid helplessly on the ground, quickly shaking his head. The muscle man ignored him as He leaped from the pole and elbow drops the mans neck, a disturbing crack was heard before the audience erupted into applause. A referee checks the man, gave a signal of 'He's okay' Before running to raise Muscle Man's arm to announce He was the winner

A man in a fancy tux with gold coat began to hype up the crowd "Ladies and Gentleman! Give it up! For BONESAW MCGRAW!" Rito was feeling the pressure of the situation now "For 30 Million Yen! Is there no one here who could stand to last three minutes in the ring with this titan OF TESTOSTERONE!" He gestures to Mcgraw who was having his muscles by a harem of buxom girls in black short shorts and bikini tops.

Rito gripped his hand and whispered "Oh yeah.." He quickly scooted to a line waiting for the registration behind a man in a red tank top who looked at him. He had no qualms until it was his turn to sign up where a lady looked at him

"Kid? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school or something?"

Rito shrugged as He heard Bonesaw own another opponent "I need the money, that's all their is to it, mam."

She looked him over "There is no featherweight in this division, small fry. Next please."

The guy behind Rito try shoving him out of the way but Rito stood firm "No please! Sign me up! I can do it!"

The lady looked at him again and sighed "Idiots could only be taught one way..." She pushed a waiver in front of him "Please understand Sulliven-Edwards is not responsible for any injuries you can, and probably will, sustain and fully proclaiming you are participating under your own free will?"

Rito signed the paper with his alias/Wrestling name "Yes!"

She shook her head "Down the hall to the right, may god be with you.." She said with no faith He was even going to live

He nodded and followed her instructions and saw a locker room which He placed his items and left his grey hoodie and pack, grabbing his mask and walked until He stood before a white shroud that was a few meters tall and waited as He heard the announcer said "May the next challenger please enter the ring at this time! If He could last three minutes in the ring with Bonesaw Mcgraw, the money will be delivered to-" The announcer stopped as He banged against the shroud and stage whispered "Hey kid, what's your name?"

Rito proudly proclaimed "The human spider!"

The announcer stood there for a second and said at a loss "That's it? The Human Spider? That's the best you got?"

Rito looked a bit offended as He slipped on his balaclava "Yeah!"

"Ugh That sucks, lemme show you how it's done kid."

Rito stood offended, it was an accurate enough name!

"THE SUM OF 30 MILLION YEN WILL BE PAYED TO THE TERRIFYING, THE DEADLY... THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN!" The shroud is lifted and the crowd gets a hard look at him.. before laughing

"Rito shouted "Hey, you got my name wrong!" A stage hand punches him in the back and He stumbles forward as the crowd began to berate him, booing him and throwing concessions at him. that's a waste of popcorn you just threw at me!

The harem girls strolled forward and looked down at him, their breasts jiggling as They sneered "Bonesaw's gonna eat you up litlle man!"

"I hope you brought your mommy with you!"

"Nice outfit! Comes with a handbag?!"

"We're gonna tear you apart!"

"IMMA RIP OFF ALL EIGHT OF YOUR FREAKY LIMBS AND BEAT YOU WITH EM!"

The crowd got into it too as they shouted to Bonesaw "KILL HIM! KILL HIM!"

Everything in his being told Rito to go back now but He strolled forward anyway, stepping into the ring to face Bonesaw, who regarded him the same as everyone. Sneering at his smaller and less muscular frame, okay, He felt right back to how He usually felt when facing the actually athletic students of his school. Small and insignificant, which was very accurate here

Rito gave a sight wave "Uh, Mr. Bonesaw? Nice to meet you, I am the h-"

"Spider-Man!" Rito yelped as Bonesaw cut him off "You think you can step into my ring and win, you have another thing coming!" He said as suddenly, steel bars dropped from the sky and circulate around the arena. Rito stared in shock as the crowd started chanting

"CAGE! CAGE! CAGE!"

The teen looked around to see stagehands chain the cage so neither of the fighters could escape, or so did everyone think, HE couldn't escape! "WHAT?! I didn't sign up for a cage match! " He ran over to start tugging at the cage, making the metal creek "HEY! Unlock the thing! Take the chain off!"

Bonesaw smiled as He loomed closer, muscles glistening with sweat "Hey, freakshow!" Catching the young man's attention, Rito saw the man take a charge at him " You ain't going nowhere! I got you for three minutes! Three minutes of PLAYTIME!" He broke into a sprint at Rito

The buzzing from earlier alerted Rito to... JUMP! And so He did, Leaping into the air and latching onto the cage near the top. He shook as Bonesaw collided with the cage and caused a vibration to be sent to him. Bonesaw stepped back from the cage and stared at the boy holding onto the cage for dear life

"What are you doing up there?!"

Rito turned to see one of the harem girls, the one who dissed his suit specifically, and decided to snark "Oh, Just staying away from you, figuring out how I got into this point in my life, trying to look good in tights, BTW Nice suit."

Bonesaw raised an eyebrow

"Did you HUSBAND make it for you~!" He sang at the top which made Bonesaw see red as He tried leaping at Rito as He hopped off the wall and landed in the center of the ring. When Bonesaw touched back down, He saw where his opponent was and ran at him, but Rito quickly fired two webs to hop right over the wrestler

One of the harem girls quickly tosses Bonesaw a steel chair "Finish him off!

Rito quickly turned to her voice "Huh, talking to-" He was interrupted as the chair smacks him, sending him right into the ground face first, with Bonesaw hammering him down with repeated chair smacks, Rito groaned in pain as He saw the chair got thrown away "Huh? What are-" He was interrupted as Bonesaw latched onto his leg and slams him into the caged wall two times before dropping him onto the ground

Rito opened one eye to see Bonesaw receive a crowbar from the girls

He gritted his teeth "Ain't no way I'm getting Jason Todd-ed.." He said getting up in time to see Bonesaw charge with crowbar in hand. He quickly shoots a web at the bar and rips it from his hand tossing it at the wall, high up. He caught Bonesaw off guard which allowed Rito to leap up and right hook him in the face, dazing him, then He does it again, dazing the wrestler even more and to top it all off, He quickly leaps into the air and sends a flying kick to Bonesaw's skull sending him flying into the cage wall, leaving the audience in stunned silence... Before they all clapped in applause to the brand new winner!

Rito sent a cocky look at the girls who had once berated him "Not bad for a string bean, eh?" The cage lifts itself off the ground after the guards cut the chains and the girls immediately hopped onto the stage to where He was.. and lifted him onto their shoulders for the entire arena to see. The referee checks the the discarded Bonesaw, gave a quick thumbs up as the announcer proclaimed

"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR NEW CHAMP, SPIDER-MAN!"

"SPIDER-MAN! SPIDER-MAN! SPIDER-MAN! SPIDER-MAN!" They all cheered!

Rito lifted his arms in victory "Y'know? I think I'm starting to like Spider-Man.."

Lala smiled as She could picture such an event in her head "Wow~! You really did win, that is so cool!"

Rito gave a small smile "Was there any doubt?"

"Nah uh! But..." Lala tilted her head "You said you all have money problems still? Where did all the prize money go then?"

Peke gave a glare "Are you still hiding it?"

"Explain where I suddenly got 30 million yen? Don't worry... I didn't get it..." Rito said in a huff

Lala looked confused "But you won?"

Rito sighed "That's show business..."

Rito excited waited in front of the fight broker who distributed the cash for all the fighters who won and smiled as He opened a safe and pulled out a fat stack of paper Yen. He smiled until a contract was pushed in front of him

"Eh... what's this?"

"Oh, just a little contract that entails that you join our wrestling federation to receive your full prize." The broker said

"But I won?"

"Yeah, and only losers don't get this chance to leave with a couple hundred yen and their tails between their legs, plus We know you are a minor.."

Rito's eyes widened, they were cheating him! "But I can't sign if you know!"

"Exactly so here," He slipped the bug man a single bill before returning the stack in the vault "Take the bus."

"I won that money!"

The broker smirked "Then sign, if not, that's not my problem."

Rito stared at the contract, He couldn't. If He left, then Mikan will be all alone. Then HE would be the hypocrite, this was so unfair! He grumbled as He took the bill and dragged himself out the doorway, He walked out, puts on his hoodie and shambled down the hall with his pack over his shoulder.

Suddenly, He feels that tingle again, here? Why? He looks up to see a man, in a beanie holding a bag. The man appears frightened as He quickly squeezes his bag with his left hand and takes his right into his back pocket. They stare at each other for a bit before Rito continues on, not paying him any mind. The man stares at him for a second before continuing what He was doing.

Rito reached the end of the hall where their was an elevator to take him down so He could leave and never think about this again, maybe think of another way to use these powers, window cleaner maybe?

Then He heard shouting from the stock broker's room, making Rito roll his eyes. Maybe some other poor sap got duped into the scam? The elevator opens and He takes a step in

Suddenly the door to the broker's room rips open as the man from earlier sprints out, his previously empty bag was full while over his shoulder and He was armed with a pistol. He looked panicked as The broker appears from the door holding his while it was bleeding, screaming "Stop him! He's stole the gain!"

A security guard pops in from a hallway closeby and The thief makes a mad dash for the elevator. Rito and the thief look each other in the eyes once more as time slowed down, at least for the spider. Rito immediately steps out of the way as the thief slams into the elevator, recomposing himself and pressing a button. He looks at Rito and smiles

"Thanks!" As the door shuts, the guard from earlier slams into it and tries to pull it open to no avail. He looks at Rito angrily

"What the hell's the matter with you, You let him go!"

Rito crossed his arms "Oh right, take on the guy with a gun? Sounds REAL smart there.."

The guard grunts before leaving to use the stairs to catch him, leaving Rito alone before the stock broker comes to him and grabs his arm

"You could've taken that guy apart! Now He is going to get away with my money..."

Rito rips his arm from the man's grasp and said with a hint of malice "Tch, Not my problem."

The broker looks at him in shock before scoffing and walking away in a huff

Rito smiled "That'll show you..."

*PUNCH!*

Both Lala and Peke looked in shock as Rito punched himself in the face, He held his jaw afterward and spat out a tooth. He turns to them and smiles apologetically

"Hehe... Sorry, just sort of came over me..."

(Music insert: Spider-Man-Revenge)

Rito walked the dimly lit streets of Sainan, arms in his pocket as He kicks a can that was lying on the ground. He was still feeling bitter about not getting his money, but He should probably lighten up. He was going to go through the back of the library, walk out the front doors and make it look like He was there the whole time in case His mother was out in front like She said She would be.

He felt another stab of guilt! "Damn it, I'll use this money to make it up to her then, geez!" He throws his hands in the air. He was going to go to the back when He heard police sirens sound off front the front of the library, probably nothing...

The a group ran by "Oh god, I think someone was hurt.." Nothing...

"I think it was a woman." ...

Rito immediately sprint to the direction of the sirens and his head grew fuzzy as all of the sounds made him slowly develop a migraine. A large summation of people gathered around as police tried to push them away "Step away, step away!"

He moved amongst the crowd, what was He doing? This has nothing to do with him, nothing to do with him, nothing-

His eyes widened. On the ground was a bleeding woman, a woman of fashionable apparel and similar hair color as him.

He broke past a few people before a blond officer caught him and held him "You can't-"

Rito looked at him in fear "THAT'S MY MOM!" The officer's eyes widened as He let go, allowing Rito to crouch next to his mother, who was looking very pale "What happened?!"

The officer looked very uncomfortable as He said with a heavy heart. "It was a carjacking, She's been shot..." Rito looked at him before inspecting his mother to see the bleeding hole in the woman's stomach "D-Don't worry, paramedics is on the way." HE said, trying to calm the boy down

It didn't as Rito turned back to look at his mother, who looked to be in great pain. One of her hands was placed over her stomach as She tried to stop the flow of blood while the other lay flat on the cold hard ground, He picked that hand up and held it tightly "M-Mom?.."

Ringo's lips mumbled as her eyes glistened with tears, He tried again

"Mom?.." He said, hoping to reach her

Ringo's vision was trained on his voice, they were half-lidded as They stared in her son's eyes. She tired giving a feeble smile "Rito..."

He smiled too, to give her comfort "Look at that beautiful smile, you- You look great.."

Her hands trembled "I-I'm Sorry...I'm so sorry.."

Rito looked at her in shock "Mom, you don't have to apologize for anything... I was wrong.. I..." He choked back a sob "Please don't go... Mikan... Dad...Me... We need you.."

Ringo's hands shook a little harder as She cried out "Baby..." And then.. Her hand slacked in his grasp, Her eyes lost their light, Her breathing stopped and her smooth fingers became cold as He held onto her. She was gone...

Rito's eyes erupted with tears falling down his cheeks, He held onto his mother's hands, praying that this was just some horrible nightmare, but no... She was really gone

The blond officer looked at the boy with pity before his partner stage whispered "We got the shooter." Rito's ears perked "Heading down Main Rd."

Rito knew where that was... And with his abilities... He could make it there...

Rito looked once more at his mother and let out one last sob before placing her hand on her stomach and stood up. He then sprinted down the street towards his destination

"Okay, people, nothing to see here, Kid, I- Kid? KID?!"

Rito payed him no mind as He tucked into a corner, the road they had described was one hidden in a maze of twists and turns, but with his new abilities He merely had to climb and leap over them.. along with something else.

In the alleyway, He tosses his back aside and rips off his hood and casts it aside to the ground, He pulls his web shooters out and places them on his wrists. At last He slips his Balaclava over his face and leaps to a wall and climbs. As He climbed, he made sure to leap over small gaps and when He reached the top of one building, He braced his and springs himself to another by latching onto a pole and spinning on it to launched himself further into the city and his to his destination.

As He lands on a rooftop, He braces again and does a long jump to another building, where He runs to give his next jump more momentum to jump even higher before He lands on a tower. he peers down to see the road He was looking when He saw a small rental car being pursued by two squad cars. That was the one He had rode...

Rito was about to leap off when He notice that the building were far too spaced out to leap to and catch... By any physical means that was. He looks to his wrist before He moans in dismay "Grr... Web Swinging, Don't fail Me now!" He pressed the trigger and fired a powerful line at a building and attaching itself to it perfectly

He breaks the piece off the shooter's spinneret and grips it tightly, standing up and taking a deep breath "Okay... Only did small ceilings before this.. can't be too hard right?..." He gulped before leaping from the building , holding on for dear life. He swung from that angle and made it through the gap.

It was then He realized He was going to hit that wall! Quickly, Letting one hand go, He fired a web at another building, canceling that building momentum and pulling him away from the wall where He let's go of both webs and fires a new one to lead down the streets to follow the killer. He swung over lamp posts, turned corners when they did before He reached to where the killer was driving next.

He swings before getting to the right angle to let go and land on the escaping car, inciting a scream from it's passenger where Rito punched through the roof and started clawing at the killer's face, fingernails telling him He was drawing blood. Suddenly the ringing warned him to dodge left, which He did to avoid the killer's gunfire. Rito followed the advice until He started slipping off the roof.

He quickly leaps off the car and lands on a nearby truck carrying alcohol. Rito watches the car drive ahead of him under a bridge, One that He was going to slam right into.

"SHIT!" He quickly high jumps over the bridge to land on the alcohol truck as it to passed the bridge. Rito looked to see that They close enough to the stolen car to attack again, so after taking a quick run up the truck, He leaps towards the car and lands on the hood to stare the killer right the eyes. The killer looked frightened as He reached for his gun but Rito didn't give him a chance before shattering it into a million different pieces, making the killer scream and swerved the car off the road and enter an abandoned warehouse district. Rito sensed something behind him, He looked to see them going to ram a steel fence, making him leap off of the car as it slams as expected.

Rito hanged from a wall to see the killer exited the totaled car and enter the building as the police started to swarm "Looks like the boys in blue are closing in..." His eyes narrowed "They can have whatever's left after I'm done.." Before firing a web at the building and entering through a shattered window

Rito spent a bit of time navigating the warehouse where He found the killer shaking and looking around every corner in case of threats, too bad He wasn't looking up

The killer sighed "Okay, I lost them, all I gotta do is-" Suddenly, his gun was snatched from his hand and thrown out a window "WHAT THE?!"

Rito leaped off the roof and stood before the killer, who also wore a mask, like that was going to change the fact He knew who killed his mother "I got you right where I want you...

The killer stepped back "Who are you?!"

Rito glared "I'm the one who is going to kill you..." Rito stepped forward as the killer brandished a knife. Rito fired a web and disarmed him again, implanting the knife into a wall, The killer tried striking Rito with a pitiful left hook but He ducked and sent a quick gut shot into his abdomen, making the killer bend over. When He was there, Rito lifted both fists into the air and slam them into the killer back sending him crashing into the ground.

Taking a hint from Bonesaw, Rito grabs the killer's legs and spins him around before slamming him into a crate, and slamming him down into a table that shattered into many splinters. The killer coughed before looking at him "Please... You... I can pay you a cut but please don't kill me..."

Rito was furious " 'Don't kill me' You said?!" He walks over and stomps on the killer's ribs over and over again! "Did She say that?! That mother you killed in cold blood?! and for what?! SOME STUPID CAR?!" He ended by kicking the killer away to a wall, slamming right into it. A tear in his mask reveals that the killer was coughing up blood.

The killer looked at the spider who loomed over him with murderous intent "W-What?... Wait, You don't understand.."

"ENOUGH TALKING!" Rito grabs him by the throat and hoists him into the air, his other hand on the killers mask to show his true identity "ALL I WANT TO HEAR IS YOUR SCREAMS!" He yelled before ripping off the mask.

And Rito froze.

"No way... It can't be?!..."

The killer...

Was the thief from the wrestling building

Lala gasped as Peke squeaked "No..."

Rito bowed his in shame "I know..."

Rito held the man the scruff of his neck before slamming him through the window. He held from from the three story drop.

"I should kill you... Take what you took from Yuuki Ringo.."

The killer wheezed "Please...

His eyes narrowed "And that's what I'll do..." He said, releasing it he criminal and watching him fall. Rito smiled...

To what ends will We use these strengths? Will We use them for the good of others? Yes.. That will always be the correct choice. It is our sole 'responsibility' to give it all we got and never go for less

Rito's eyes widened staring at the falling man "WHAT AM I DOING?!" He shot his arm forward and fired a line of webbing

Great things are coming for you, Rito. Really great things. And with that, you will gain a great responsibility

The shot quickly hits the man's legs and saves him from becoming a splat on the pavement

Yes, With great power, there must always come great responsibility!

Rito gave a hard sigh "This isn't what she would have wanted... It was my fault He got there..."

This was all my fault...

He fled the scene as soon as the police descended on the area and checked the killer. He climbed along the wall to avoid the law. He said nothing as He made his way back to the library to collect his things. After retrieving them, he went to see if his mother had been moved. She was as an outline of where she was was made as the road was nearly empty.

Nearly being the middle aged man in a bandanna sitting on the cold steps, a small girl resting her head on his lap covered in blanket while her father stroked her back.

Rito's leg took the initiative as his mind was blank as to what to do. He walked toward his father and sister and the man turned him, they stared at each other right in the eyes...

"Son?..."

Rito only bowed his head in shame. He was a horrible person...

The man tapped his daughter in the back which awoke her from her sleep "R..." She halted, making him a little sad... Was he now nothing to her too? "Onii-Chan?.."

Rito's heart tightened. He shook as He choked up "I'm sorry... I am so sorry..."

Both of them got up and walked to him. Were they going to berate him... He would deserve-

All thoughts were cut off as both father and sister wrapped their arms around the boys and held him tight. The dams inside his heart were destroyed as Rito cried with his family

The three Yuuki's shared their pain...

Time had passed and Rito stood in front a grave. It was after the ceremony and his mother had been cremated and placed under the tombstone with his mother and father's name written as to symbolize that He was waiting for her. He bowed his head against the stone. They decided to leave all of his mother's ashes here as it would be a more American funeral that way.

Mikan was a distance away, speaking to some girls he would later know as her friends while Saibai stayed with his son.

He sighed "I yelled at her..."

Saibai looked shocked but waited for him to continue

He did "She was trying to tell me something important... And I threw it in her face..."

Saibai sighed as He placed a hand on his son's back "You loved her... As She loved you. She will never doubt that man you will become." He smiled "You are meant for great things, Rito. You won't disappoint her." He got up to regroup with his young daughter as her friends left with parents.

(Music insert: Spider-Man ost- City montage)

He stared at him before looking at the grave stone. Great thing... Never doubt... Won't disappoint.. But how... His mind focused on one word: Man.

Yes... Of course, he will be a symbol... One who saved everyone.. A true man... No family shall be ripped anymore when He will be on the job..

He smiled as He imagined a hero gliding through the air with greatest of ease. Yes... He will be that hero.

He will be... SPIDER-MAN!

The princess and the costume not stared at the boy who leaning back on the bench

"Or at least... That was the idea. Now though?... How could I even look at myself in the mirror, let alone going around serving vigilante justice..." He sighed dejectedly

Lala was at a loss for words, what could she even say? Maybe... "Because you ARE amazing, Rito."

The teen looked at the girl with a raised eyebrow, she continued

"I have seen you protect more than just me, you have saved Mikan, Run, Kenichi and so many! I can't say anything about Mr Osborn but... He made his choice when He attacked you, right?"

Rito stared "Y-yeah?.."

Lala smiled "Then you are not to blame.." She places a comforting hand on his "To me, you are.. A hero."

Rito felt a little of the weight on his conscious lift slightly. Not a lot but enough to make it easier for his head.

He smiled at the princess "Thanks Lala..."

They got up, gave one last bow to Ringo's grave and exited. As they left, they saw a few police cars with sirens blaring, Lala looks to Rito "Are you going to go?.."

The hero rubbed the back of his spiky head "I kinda haven't fixed my suit..."

Lala smiled, pulling out her D-Dial and summoning a book bag. "I had it repaired the first day, I was just waiting on you."

Rito stared at the princess before smile and taking the bag "The best part about having a friend know your secret identity? Not having to worry about your own sewing."

Lala nodded with giving a small bounce "Go get Em!"

The hero smirked "I intend to!"

"Hmm... Looks like a bit of a redesign.."

On the top of a condemned apartment complex, the young man know as Yuuki Rito walks out of a door while slipping on his mask, while wearing his suit that had a few tweaks courtesy of the devilukian princess. His back and front spider logo weren't of the cartoon spiders He had envisioned, now they seemed a bit more pointy and slightly more realistic? Oh well, He'll get used to it. His lenses were wider, considering these weren't made to fit a regular glasses frame which was nice. He has to say, She did a good redesigning his suit, maybe He could try and remake the cartoon spider design but how many suits can guy have, amiright? "

"Web shooters are check, still need that rotating carousal, but that's for later...Oh, Better see if my comm system is online." He said tapping his ear as see in the corner of his eye, a small set of profile pics saying ready "Okay good." Then one of the lit up "Hmm? A call from Lala?" He tapped his ear to except the call "Yo what up?"

"Rito, try the new function I set to your headphones, I'll think you like it." And She hung up

"New function? What kind of function we're talking about?" He tapped his ear to see a small option highlighted 'Music'

"Oh~ Let's see what I got?" He said selecting a song and got closed to the edge of the building amd looks towards the city, a blip inticating the police car He planted a spider tracer to do show it was there, several kilometers away, a hundred, give or take? He could make it in seconds.

(Music insert: Outasight - The boogie)

(Ladies and gentleman!)

"Oh yeah! This is happening, woo hoo!" Rito leaped off the building and plummeted to the ground

(Report to the dance floor!)

(Report to the dance floor!)

Rito lifts his arm up and fires a web to begin a swing to glide through the air

(I feel like getting crazy!)

(Do you feel the same?)

Rito swings towards a building and with his trajectory, manages to place his feet on the wall and run on it, holding onto the web for insurance before reaching the end and leaping off the edge to launch him far and lands on a billboard

(Let go of your problems, baby!)

Using his momentum, He leaps off this object and is sent flying very far while doing a mid-air twirl he dubbed the flying helix

(And come and dance with me!)

(No sense in going home now!)

(Staying out all night!)

He hangs in the air doing a trick he called a moonersault when his tracker told him He was here. He looked down to see the police hiding behind their cars as a pack of hoodlum opens fire on them, when He quickly stuck his arms out, fires some webs to hit the guns and pulls them out of their hands, surprising them as He tossed them away.

(Got the club blowing up)

(Like a stick of dynamite!)

He does a final roll, imaginatively called the spider-roll, before landing in front of the delinquents and gave a snarky quip "Morning fellas! Who's ready for their fresh hot cup of bodily harm?"

The leader pulled a knife out "Who are you?!"

Rito gave a small miffed sound "Leave a few days and everyone forgets ya, huh?"

(Step to the left!)

In time with the song, Rito dodges a swing of the knife and webs it out of his hand and tosses it away as the leader signals for his friends to back him up

(Two steps to the right!)

He steps to the right, casually backhanding one of the companions that tried to swarm him "You can called me Amazing.."

(Throw your hands in the air!)

He ducks under another one's ones punch, crouches low and shoot up, uppercutting the fool "Spectacular!"

(Wave them side to side!)

(Now two steps back! [Now two steps back])

He makes a backflip as the guy toppled over "Sensational!"

(Step to the front!)

The leader was getting annoyed and charged at him with a punch

(Do a 360! [Spin!])

Deciding to end the leader, Rito does a roadhouse kick to the leader's skull and knocking him down "But you can always call me your friendly neighborhood, Spider-Man!"

(EVERYONE GO CLAP, CLAP CLAP!)

Over 15,000 Words...

Oi vey...

That ends the first major arc of this story and I have to say... I feel I could have done better, but that is mostly my pessimism at play. I hope you liked it and this cluster of a chapter

Now I know To Love-Ru isn;t very established in this TO LOVE-RU fic so I apologize, most of the early content is very down to earth and... This is Spider-Man we are talking about, that's kinda his antithesis. But don't worry... I have what those of you want. She won't be next chapter.. but soon enough.

Crimson eyes stared at the image of a person cover head to toe in red and blue with large cartoon eyes. The owner of said eyes said monotonously. She was a girl with extremely long blond hair, fair skin and was dressed in a Gothic Lolita leather outfit with a star shaped hole above where her developing cleavage was. Her arms and legs were adorned with many black belts with some long sleeves on her arm held onto by, of course, belts. She was sitting in a booth at a bar with a umbrella drink on the table

"And what is this?" She said, demanding an answer of from the imp in front of her. The imp was dressed in a flowing robe with a poofy hat on top of his head in the shape of a crown. He hops in fright of the girls tone, He had to be careful, in the universe, they were few beings more dangerous than the mercenary Golden Darkness.

"A-A great threat, this is the alley of this man!" He pressed a button to show a young man with spiky hair and a unassuming frame. "He has captured the woman I wish to marry, all attempts at rescue are dismantled by his evil bodyguard! Please save my Lala-Chan!" He lied straight to her face, Lala actually really hated him for trying to add her into his harem about... 30? 50 times? No matter, She will be his soon...

Golden Darkness stared at the imp, not believing that for a second. He was obviously hiding something, but what was what she wasn't sure of yet without the necessary information. She saw him switch the visual back to the red and blue figure, who was seen battling a scorpian. That intrigued her, seems He wasn't a pushover... His form was lacking though, very sloppy from what She saw...

"Lacospo," The imp hopped again "What are their names." She demanded.

"O-Oh.. The boy is Yuuki Rito, the other is a being known only as Spider-Man."

"Spider-Man." Golden Darkness said, feeling the name out. Didn't feel like much but... It felt of something hidden just underneath. Something.. quite interesting. "I accept."
