Chapter 4

Highway chase

As Spider-man and Scarlet-Spider zoomed past cars and traffic, Scarlet yelled over the engine asking "How are we gonna find your wife anyway?" "While I was fighting Chameleons thugs, I placed a tracker on one of the insurgents, now we're right on there tail, there on West side high way , turn right." Said Spidey as they came across a sign saying cross here to west side. "Hang on." Replied Scarlet before making a sharp right turn. As the 2 web-slingers sped passed by traffic and red lights , they came upon a convoy of Black insurgents , the leading car had an armed machine gun ready as they continued on there root. "There here they are." Pointed Spidey. Suddenly the gunner in the car behind the rest of the others caught sight of the heroes and yelled in his radio. "Sir, it's spider-man ,he's on our tail with scarlet spider."

"Then don't just stand there and look stupid, BLOW THEM OFF THE ROAD, YOU MORON." Yelled Chameleon from the other line. Without even replying the thug started shooting like a mad man at the heroes. "Well they're definitely unhappy to see us." Joked Spidey as he and Scarlet douched incoming bullets. "You got any plans of how to stop that convoy or just bad jokes?" "I got a plan divide and conquer." Replied Spider-man pulling out a hand full of smoke grenades. "Nice, okay one three." Said Scarlet spider. "One, two." "Three." Yelled Spidey throwing the grenades in front of them , causing a cloud of smoke between them and the convoy. "Sir I lost sight of them." Said the thug just as the smoke appeared.

"What do ya mean you lost them?" "One of them threw a smoke and—hang on I see them." The thug replied as Spider-man and Scarlet Spider can through the clearing , but something was wrong. "Sir I only see one of them." "What , where the hell is the other one then?" yelled Chameleon threw the radio. Before the gunner could reply he noticed a shadow growing over him. He quickly looked up only to see Spider man coming down on him hard. Kicking him into the inside of the car with 2 more thugs siting between the thug that Spidey landed on. The impact from Spider-mans landing in the car caused the driver to flinch and side-swipe a nearby car. After stomping the thug Spider-man turned his attention to the two thugs on his left and right in the car. Before they could hesitate , Spider-man quickly elbowed the thug on his right in the face without looking and disarmed the thug on his right , then kicked the thug in the passenger seat. Then he grabbed the thug on his left by the neck and slammed his head into the back of the driver seat , Then Spidey turned his attention to the thug on is right and said , "Look out crotch roach ." as he swung his right elbow right in between the thug s legs causing him to yelp in pain.

Then he grabbed the thug and swung him into the drivers shoulder before throwing him back to the car. From the impact the thug fell out of the back door of the car and grabbed onto the floor to keep himself from falling out completely. Spidey turned to see the thug clinging onto the floor as him legs were being painful burned from scratching the road surface as the car sped. Spider-man gave a quick laugh before the thug grabbed him and threw him into the back of the passenger seat, pinning his head against the back of the seats head. "Nice Corinthian Leather." Commented Spider-man before getting the thug off of him and putting a choke hold on the thug with his legs. "I'm looking for CHAMELEON." He said before swinging the thug into the window causing him to loos conscious, then he turned his attention to the remaining two thugs. He punched the driver in the face then pulled out a wanted Poster of Chameleon with a drawn smiley face on it. "Have you seen this man?" he asked in a classic Detective accent. The thug responded by punching in the chest and started slamming Spideys face into the radio station. "OW ,OW,OW,OW,OW." He yelled painfully as his head hit the radio and changed songs as his head hit the radio.

Mean-while Scarlet Spider pursued the convoy from Behind. The last 2 trucks fired at Scarlet spider ,trying to shoot him off the road. Scarlet returned the favor by activating 2 gun barrels that came out from the side of the front section of the bike behind the front wheel. The guns fired purple Laser balls as they hit the cars, causing one to wreck and the other one to fall on its side form impact. Scarlet spider zoomed past the cars and fired at the others one by one as he got closer to them.

As Scarlet Spider thinned out the convoy ,Spider man is still getting his head slammed by the thug , after slamming Spidey's head three more times against the radio , the thug pulled out a pistol and was about to aim at Spidey s head before Spider-man caught sight of it. "WO , mango ,mango, mango." He said as he grabbed the thug by the arm that has hold of the gun and pointed it at the driver s leg. "YAHHHHH, AHAAA." Yelled the driver as the gun fired into his left leg. A thug riding a motorcycle drove to the right side of the car and pulled out a machine gun. Spidey saw this as an opportunity and shot a web line at the door and connected the other side to the thug in the passenger seat .

Then grabbed the ceiling of the car ands kicked the door off it s hinges with both legs. The door went right into the biker, knocking him off the bike and bringing the thug in the passenger seat with it. The thug who got thrown out the back pulled himself back into the car after 6 minutes of hanging on for dear life out of the back. Spidey turned to see the thug fully pull himself back in the , and then ramped his fist into the driver s injured leg causing him to get his right foot off the gas pedal. Spidey quickly pushed hard on the gas pedal with his right leg the driver grabbed Spidey by thee thrown in an attempt to strangle him. Unknown to both of them the car was speeding right to a vehicle in front of them, the impact caused the thug in the pact to fall forward into the passenger seat. With quick speed Spidey pinned the driver with his right foot and grabbed the other thug by the arm. Having his arm over the thug, Spider-man Shot 3 to 6 balls of web into the thugs mouth before covering it with his mouth. "I really don't have to say this, but don't swallow the webs." He asked the Thug as he moaned under Spidey s hand. Ask the car sped past traffic another insurgent, with 3 thugs and an extra thug in the passenger seat loading machine guns as they came to the side of the insurgent with Spider-man.

As the insurgent lined up on the right side of the other car , Spidey caught sight of the thugs inside of it as they rolled down the left windows. By instinct , using his free foot he turned the steering wheel to the left , causing the car to crash into a nearby fence and started to roll to the side repeatedly. As the car continued to role down the road ,Spider-man and the 2 thugs were pouncing off the walls in side the car , from the floor to the ceiling and the doors. As the car continued to roll, another biker that riding along with the convoy, got ahead of the car before it started rolling on its side. As the car got closer to the biker, it rolled over him in mid air, at that moment the biker took out a sub machine gun and attempted to shoot out Spider-man. Unfortunately for him Spidey shot a web at the back side of his pants ,and pulled him from the motor-cycle seat , Now both the car containing Spider-man and the 2 thugs along with the biker were now flying across the road with the toppling car. In on millisecond Spidey asked himself "Wait , did I leave the flash on?" before the car came to contact with the concrete road. At that moment Spider-man shot another web line at a nearby light post and connecting it to the line with the biker thug, causing him to get swung into the pole , knocking him out cold.

Then Spidey put both of his hands against the left door and using his strength he kicked the thug in the passenger seat out sending him flying out of the car front flipping towards a green traffic sign over the road. As Spider-man kicked the thug out of the car , he threw a tiny device at the thug at that moment , it landing on his back a started rapidly beeping. Just when the thug was merely a foot away from the sign the device went off and covered the thug in a ball of webbing, as it hit the sign preventing the thug from breaking any bones, The webbing surrounding the thug prevented him from falling to the street as the insurgent flipped two more times before landing on it's right side. The other insurgents stopped in front of the wrecked car, and let out small groups of chameleons thugs out each holding a different kind of fire-arm. The groups approached the wrecked car carefully with there arms drawn , ready for battle. As the thug moved closer to the car the window on the left door slowly opened up , at that moment Spider-man s head popped out saying "hey guys." The thugs responded with gun fire at the car , Spider-man ducked back into the car after yelping from the gun fire.

The thugs moved even slower to the car now that they know that Spider-man is still in the car. After the first thugs in front of the group took 2 steps , Spider-mans arms flung out of the window and in the air. "Wait." He asked , the thugs drew their guns again but didn't fire yet out of curiously. "You all maybe wondering why I decided to mess with you all on thanksgiving , well that's so no one would have to worry about bad guys stealing there turkey. "This guy came prepared, he wore the nice brown pants." Spider-man said pointing to the thug on the right side of the group. The thug looked down at his pants confused than shot at the Spider-man in anger. Spider-man brought his hands back into the car and said, "Fine , I have an important place to be , so you're gonna have to take your turns. Lets get started." AT that moment Spider-man jumped out of the car and shot two web lines. One connected to a thug s head and got pulled to the ground. The other web line hit a thug s foot and with a tug, he lost his footing and fell right on his back. As the thug rolled on the ground in pain ,Spider-man advanced at the rest of the crooks. With Quick speed Spider-man front rolled to a minion and gave an upper cut in the jaw just before Taking the gun from his hand and grabbed his shoulders and front flipped over him, as he did he threw the thug into a nearby empty car. From impact the thug lost conscious and fell to the ground. A thug standing behind Spider-man cocked his gun and prepared to fire at Spider man in the back, thanks to his Spider sense he dodged the flying bullets and turned around and shot a web at barrel of the gun.

With one tug the gun went flying out of the criminal s hands and Spider man swung it around it and when he turned back to face the thug the gun went flying right into the thug s face, sending him to the ground. Spider man quickly took cover behind a nearby mustang car as another thug fired an assault rifle at him. The firearm quickly ran out of ammo and the thug took cover on the opposite side of the mustang Spiderman was using. As the thug reloaded his gun Spider-man peaked through the window on his side. After looking through the window, Spider-man gave a high pitch yelp as the thug appeared on the other side of the car through the window.

Just nearly missing Spider man, the bullets flew threw both of the car windows shattered the glass as Spider man ducked from them. At that moment the thug climb onto the hood of the car and looked to his right seeing Spider-man lying on his right side posing with his right hand on the right side of his face. The thug quickly started pulling the trigger to his gun, but no bullets came flying out of the weapon. "Some one's not thinking ahead." Said Spider-man just before shooting a small ball of webbing. After hitting the thug right in the chest , the thug spazzed out as if he was electrocuted and fell right off the car unconscious. "Got ta love Taser webs." As soon as Spider-man said that took cover behind a grey car 4 feet away from the car Spider-man was behind. Spider-man caught sight of the second thug as he took cover behind the car with his partner.

The first thug pulled out a grenade from his left pocket and threw it toward the car Spider-man is behind. Just as the grenade left his hand , Spider-man shot a web line at the flying bomb forcing it back toward the thug , it flew right behind them 3 feet away and exploded sending the thugs to the ground avoided the blast. "To birds , one bomb." Joked Spider-man. His moment was quickly interrupted as a thug riding a motorcycle with a sub machine gun started firing at the hero as he drove by him. Spider-man quickly jumped out of the thugs way , but as he got his feet a bullet went right next to his right arm brazing it causing some blood to drip out of his arm. "Ow , you mother trucker." Yelled Spider man as he started firing webs at the biker , but every shot unfortunately missed the bike as it sped off threw the wreckage. "Bad Spider-man." He said lowering his head down when another with a knife headed for spider-man.

Spider-man quickly turned around and shot a web line that connected the thug s head and with a tug , he pulled the thug s head to the car he was using as cover. From impact the thug fell to the cement ground unconscious. Spider-man shot more web balls at the thug to make sure he dosen't get up after he gains conscious. "Probably unnecessary but worth it." Said Spider-man talking to himself. Just the last three thugs started shooting at Spider-man after taking cover behind a truck. Spider-man front rolled to the other side of the truck and crouch as the thugs continued shooting.

Just as Spider-man took cover, the thugs started to advanced on Spider-man , going around the car , past the front. Spider-man jumped to their side from behind ,after completing a front roll , he fired a sonic blast from his web shooters , sending them flying 6 feet away from him and fell right to the ground. "Okay, I'm very awake right now." Said Spider-man as he started to skipping to one of the insurgents that are now empty. "Chameleon, Oh Chameleon?" As he approached the car door, he opened the vehicle revealing the vehicle to be empty. "Oh what crap nuggets. Your too old for hide and seek Chameleon." He yelled as one of the 3 thugs that got blasted got up uneasily. Spiderman gave a low sigh as he turned around and said, "You're not the Chameleon." The thug responded by rolling up his sleeves as he approached Spider-man. "Really, dramatically rolling up the sleeves and pulling out knifes." Just as he said that, the thug pulled out 2 combat knifes and prepared to stab them in Spider-man s chest. With a quick side step, he dodged the blades just in time. But the thug quickly turned and slashed the knifes in front of him.

After 3 failed attempts to stab Spider man , a web line hit the thug in the back and sent him flying backwards into an empty car. Then Scarlet Spider appeared next to the unconscious thug and walked toward Spidey. "I was about to take him out." "Yeah but I got tired of seeing you show off , so I thought what ever." Replied Scarlet Spider. "Well thanks I guess. Now if I was a famous top class criminal with a white maks and a hostage , and goes by the name Chameleon I would I getaway." Asked Spider-man . "Looks like the answer's right behind you." Replied Scarlet Spider as the sound of car engine roared to life from behind. Spider-man turned his head to see an Insurgent , "oh!" he said as the car speeded to him and Scarlet Spider. Both heroes quickly jumped to the side as the vehicle nearly ran over them. As Spider man jumped out of danger he shot a small device at the , hitting the left front door as it sped off . "Was that suppose to kill the vehicle? " Asked Scarlet Spider. "Actually to track his location." Replied Spider-man. "Come on let's go." Said Spider-man as the spider-cycle drove up to the heroes by remote controlled.

After tailing the convoy for 6 minutes , Spider-man and Scarlet-Spider chased the remaining cars in the convoy lead by Chameleon up to an abandoned wear-house at Devils Kitchen. "Why does Chameleon have an evil lair at a wear-house." Asked Spider-man as the last three insurgents enter the building threw a garage door. "Maybe this is wear he gets fish. Joked Scarlet-Spider. Spider-man took a quick glance from left too right and said. "Okay I gonna try and sneak pass their security , you take out the guards and get ready to get us out of here as soon as I get Mary Jane." " Hold on , something about all of this feel a little weird." Replied Scarlet-spider. "You mean that a criminal chose to hide in a wear-house at Devil s Kitchen, yeah I think its weird too." "No, I mean shouldn't we go in together." Asked Scarlet-spider. "Not a bad idea but one person going in will make a lot less noise, besides will be fine and you're better at driving the cycle." "All right , just be careful Punk." "You too!" replied Spider-man just as he swung to a nearby crane to get a bird s eye view. Just below the crane six of Chameleons thugs in pairs of twos are walking around the perimeter, which is a maze of cargo containers.

One pair went up and down a flight of stairs next to a container with 3 more above it. Suddenly an insurgent pulled up in a parking space in front the stair case. Then 6 more thugs climb out of the car, but these thugs were dressed differently from Chameleon's thugs. Each criminal wore a bullet proof vest and had on army uniforms and weapons that aren't usually used on the streets. "Wow, this is getting a little more than just a kidnapping." "Hey Scarlet , a convoy just drove up on my side." Said Spider-man talking threw an earpiece in his mask. "Yeah I just saw it pull up to the wear-house , so what?" "Well the guys driving it look different and they're caring some unusual weapons." "What kind of weapons." Asked Scarlet-Spider." "I'm not sure , I'm gonna get a little closer to find out how they got these weapons." Spider-man descended from the crane , by using a web line to get closer. Then he jumped behind 2 cargo containers on top of each other and started eavesdropping on them. The leader of the thugs in armor walked up to a pair of guards that observed the glowing weapons. "So what do think." Asked the leader. "Once again amazed , how'd you gets these?" "If I told you, I'd have to kill you." Joked the armor thug. As they continued to talk about the weapons, none of them even noticed Spider-man peeking his head around the cargo container.

Inside the wear-house on the second floor, in a room with a table in the center of room. One the left side of the table sat Mary Jane , behind her stood two of Chameleons both armed with assault rifles. On the opposite side of the table sat Chameleon himself playing with a glass cup with red wine in it. "I don't what you hope to gain from kidnapping me , but you should know that this isn't gonna end how you want it to end." Said Mary jane. "Actually this day is going exactly how I was promised it would Mrs. Parker. You see kidnapping you isn't just to get attention, but to get the attention of this Cities most famous hero." Said Chameleon now siting up straight in his seat. "you kidnapped me to get Spider-man's attention? Wow , I thought you just wore silly clothes but now you're clearly stupid." Said M J boldly. "Wow , your not just a pretty face after, you're a smart-ass pretty face." Said Chameleon with a smirk as he got up from his chair and walked to her side ,then suddenly he swung his right arm at her right cheek , creating a red mark. "I can see what that nerdy photographer sees in you." He whispered in her ear. Mary jane quickly spat at his jacket and said "His name s Peter Parker you psychotic son of a bitch." She replied.

Out-side the wear-house the thugs who were observing the weapons carried by the armored thugs. "What does that thing do?" asked one of Chameleons thugs as an armored Thug wearing shaded glasses. "I'll show you." And without another word the thug drew his gun and shot the man who asked the question right in the chest. Spider-man eyes went wide as the thug fell to the ground dead. At that moment the rest of the armored thugs started to gun down the remaining thugs one by one. Inside the wear-house the gun shots were like fireworks as the sounds rang threw the walls. As soon as the guns shots started , Chameleon quickly drew a gun out of his tux and grabbed Mary Jane , putting his arm around her neck as a human shield. "You two make sure no one gets in." yelled the crime boss in a state of fear in his voice. Out side the pair of thugs were now dead and piled up on each other. The thug with the glasses pulled out a small device and threw it at the body pile , the device went off ,covering the corpses in a blanket of webbing , without even looking back he grabbed a motorcycle and drove off in it followed by his companions in the car they arrived in. Spider-man came out of his hiding place ,completely stunned of witnessing the massacre. "Spidey , what the hell just happened I heard the shot from across the wear-house?" said Scarlet Spider through the earpiece.

" Half of Chameleons patrol just got gunned down by a group of armored thugs who just drove in , shot them all with some crazy weapons , and drove off. They also covered the bodies in some kind of webbing." "Wait , did you just say webbing?" "Yes and it looks exactly like our web formula." Said Spider-man as he observed the webbing around the bodies when suddenly one of the bodies burst to life and grabbed Spiderman s right shoulder. "Wo." Yelled Spider-man as he quickly freed his arm and got a better look at the crook. He realized that the man is the same guy that the guy in glasses shot dead , now bleeding out in a pile of his companions.

"Hey ,where's the reporter your boss kidnapped? Where is she? Where's Mary Jane Parker?" said Spider-man as he turned his voice into a yell to get an answer from the dying thug. The thug could only gurgle words so he pointed his free hand at the wear-house behind them. "Alright thanks for your help , now hang in there , the police are on their way , and so is an ambulance , hey , hey, HEY." Yelled Spider-man as the thug eyes went into his skull and he breathed his last breath. "Damn it." Said Spider-man "Hey , language man." replied Scarlet Spider. "One of thugs told me where Mary Jane is but he didn't make it." "There's something else to , look over the wear-house." Spider-man looked over the wear-house to see a drone flying straight for the wear-house with a bomb attached under the wings. "I'll get the drone , you get your wife Peter." "Thanks Scarlet." Replied Spider-man as he jumped to an open window over the door and crawled threw. As soon as Spider-man entered the room.

Scarlet Spider drove the Spider-cycle to the roof of the Wear-house and started cranking the engine. The drone started increasing it's speed as it drew nearer toward the Wear-house. Just when the drone got closer to the wear-house Scarlet-spider fired 2 rockets from the bike and blew the drone up , causing it to fall in the Hutson river. Inside the wear-house the tow thugs sent out of the room by chameleon walked down a dim hallway with a flickering light on the ceiling. As they walked further down the hall, both of them flinched in fear as they took a step further into the darkness. Suddenly a door air vent in the wall burst from its hinges as the thugs walked by it , Spider-man front rolled out of the air-vent and kicked him right into the wall then grabbed the other thug by his right arm and neck and lifted his body over himself, then threw it to the wall to spider-man s left.

Meanwhile, Chameleon frantically looked all over the room with Mary Jane under his arm and a gun aimed at her head. He kept looking left to right and behind hoping that there was an escape. "You might as well turn yourself in , it'll save you the bruise s ." said MJ trying to get out Chameleons arm lock. "One more word out of you and I'll turn pretty face into a mess." Yelled chameleon just before the door in front of him flew off its hinges onto the floor. Spider-man appeared in front of the door frame as the dust settled. "Take another step , and you'll see what the contents in her head look like web-head." Spider-man gave no response as he observed the thug holding the women hostage. Mary-Jane realized that chameleon s full attention is on Spider-man and slowly removes her arms from Chameleon s arm. As soon as her arms were by her side she gave Spider-man a nod. Spider-man s masked eyelids scrunched as , in that exact moment in a flash Spider-man jumped at Chameleon as fast as lightning , both him and chameleon flew out a nearby window , shattering the glass as they fell out the building. Mary Jane took a couple breaths before turning around to face the shattered window with a lot of thoughts coming in her mind.

About 6 minutes later , A patrol of police cars came into the parking lot in front of the wear-house. As soon as the cars stopped , the first car door opened to reveal Tynan with a look of shock and concern as he sped walked past some cargo containers to find a pile of corpses covered with webbing . behind the pile hung Chameleon from a web-line attached to the wall under a broken window. But what got Tynan s full attention was seeing Mary Jane squatting down on the ground holding a small device that she picked up and hid in her pocket as soon as she heard the sirens. "Are you okay ma 'am?" asked Tynan relieved to see her alive. "I'm okay , thank you captain." "I gonna call your husband, let him know you're safe okay." Thank you." She replied as Tynan turned toward the other police that observed the body pile. As he did that , she looked toward the top of the crane , to see spider-man watching her from a distance. He removed his mask to reveal a relieved Peter parker , happy that his wife is safe , but also concerned of what the police will think of the pile of dead thugs.
