LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Ronnie Anne was running through a stormy jungle while hearing a roar with every bolt of viridian lightning.

"Ronnie Anne. It's alright. You don't have to run." A comforting voice said to her, causing her to stop running.

"Dad?" She asked as tears began to well up in her eyes.

"I know you blame her for what happened to me." Her father's voice said. "But I made my choice and I wouldn't change a moment of those days." Said as a pair of viridian eyes began to approach her.

"But... Why is she calling to me?" Ronnie Anne asked, her self doubt clearly showing.

"She has watched you your entire life. You have a ferocious spirit and a kind heart. The exact kind of person she chooses." Her father said as a green paw with black stripes reached out for her. "I believe in you, Ronnie Anne. You can do it." He urged on as Ronnie Anne reached for the paw.

(Dream end.)

Ronnie Anne's eyes shot open as she sat up in a cold sweat. She then got up and walked over to her closet and picked up the box inside, opening it to reveal a green necklace that had two paws next to a Tiger's head.

Ronnie Anne hesitated for only a moment before she picked up the necklace and put it on. As she did so, she felt energy surge through her body as her canines began to grow and her nails became razor sharp claws as her now viridian eyes opened to reveal slitted pupils

(With Spiderman)

"YEEEEHAAAW!" Spiderman shouted as he used a web to swing up and jump about ten stories above the building he had been latched on to.

"That was slightly too high of an octave, big brother." Lisa said from over the phone.

"Sorry. Got a little carried away. I'm just really impressed you were able to improve on my web shooters that quickly." The hero said.

"That is nothing. You shall really be impressed once the suit is finished and once I am able to add all of the functions that I have intended." Lisa said with a smirk clear in her voice. "Regardless, this field test was a success and you should return home before everyone wakes up." She said.

"No problem, getting from Brooklyn back to Queens should only take me thirty minutes." Spiderman said before he heard a scream and looked to a subway entrance to see people fleeing in terror. "Better make that forty." He said as he swung down, to see what the trouble was, only being able to hear some distressed shouts about some kind of monster being seen on the tracks.

Spiderman swung down in to the tunnel and began looking around on the tracks.

'I don't see anything.' Spiderman thought as he was looking around. Just then, he sensed something above him and he quickly ducked out of the way, doing a flip to meet his attacker and was shocked at what he saw. A large half man/Lizard hybrid creature with a piece of fabric hanging off its left shoulder. 'Okay. Now I can see it.' He said, dodging in to slash and going for a punch only for the Lizard creature to spin around slap him with its which caused him to get slammed in to a wall.

Spiderman then scrambled up and saw the Lizard running for him. In response he jumped over it and used a web to latch on to the Lizard and pulled towards it for a kick only for it to turn and chomp on his leg.

Spiderman was struggling to get free when suddenly, he heard a horn and turned his head to see a subway train coming right for them. Acting as quickly as he could, Spiderman punched the Lizard square in the eye and pushed off as hard as he could, grabbing the piece of fabric off of the Lizard as the train came between them.

Spiderman was angered to find the Lizard gone. That anger quickly turned to worry however when he looked at the fabric to see a B on it. As quickly as he could with his leg, Spiderman made his way out of the tunnel and began swinging back home at top speed.

(Back at the Loud House)

Spiderman covertly made his way up the wall to Lisa's room, knocking on it with his head as the young genius silently ran to open it and saw her bothers blood stained pant leg before running to grab a tourniquet to wrap.

"We've got a problem." Lincoln said as he took off the mask.

"Indeed. This bite nearly reached your bone." Lisa said as she wrapped the tourniquet around her brother's leg with some bandaging.

"This'll heal in a couple hours. This is what we need to worry about." Lincoln said before handing Lisa the fabric scrap.

"This is from a Bulldogs jersey." Lisa said with fear quickly rising up in her voice.

"Exactly. Which means Lynn could be in danger. Not to mention the entire family and countless innocent people who will be at the game tonight." Lincoln said, verbalizing his sister's concern. "I don't suppose you can have the suit done by tonight." He said as he looked to a pod that was assembling the unstable molecules.

"I will have to temporarily forgo some of the intended features in order meet the deadline. But I should be able to get it done." Lisa confirmed.

"Good. I'll start doing some research on the members of the team. Maybe that could give us about the Lizard." Lincoln said as he silently made his way to his room and went online to the Brooklyn College website to look up the team members, looking for the slightest clue about the Lizard before arriving on quite the big one. The name William Connors. "Connors." Lincoln whispered as he rubbed the scar from the spider bite that gave him his powers.

Lincoln quickly grabbed his suit and began to run down stairs only to be alerted by his oldest younger sister, Lucy being behind him.

"Hey, Lincoln." The gothic Loud sister said, a little surprised that Lincoln hadn't jumped at her greeting.

"Hey, Luce. Sorry. But I gotta head out for a little bit to get something for a project I'm working on." Lincoln said.

"It's seven in the morning." Lucy argued.

"Yeah. But I have a bit a deadline I have to meet." Lincoln said before waving to Lucy as he left the house.

(Curt Connors' lab: Empire State University)

Spiderman swung through the city before landing on the skylight of Dr Connors' lab to see the him in the middle of doing some of his research. Spiderman then opened the skylight stopping only for a moment to look at the machine that was half responsible for his powers.

"Dr. Connors." Spiderman said, making himself known and surprising the scientist. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He said as he webbed down.

"You're the Spiderman." said, having recognized the hero from the news.

"I'll cut to the chase, Doc. I need your help." Spiderman said.

"What could I possibly help you with?" asked.

"Your research in to cross species genetics." He said before having to just rip the band aid off. "I recently fought a Lizard man in the subway and he had scrap of a Bulldogs jersey on him." With that said Dr. Connors ran to a cabinet to see that there was a vile missing.

"Billy, what did you do?" Dr. Connors asked in a panicked whisper.

'So, I was right.' Spiderman thought in regret. "You developed this stuff. I got to assume you'd have come up with a way to reverse it incase things went out of control." He said.

"I have. But since I haven't even started trials with the initial cross, lord knows what the antidote will even do." Connors admitted.

"Then run some tests on your blood. I need to get something from my base. Odds are, Billy will be at the game tonight. Bring it there." Spiderman instructed, noticing the scientist was still worried for his son. "I promise he'll be okay, Dr. Connors." The young hero said before webbing out and swinging back home.

(Back at the Loud House.)

Lincoln entered the house, grabbing a quick bit before heading up to Lisa's room, hoping to have good news from the young genius.

"Tell me it's ready to go." He said as he closed the door behind him.

"As ready as it can be on such short notice." Lisa replied as the pod with the suit opened. "I must once again remind you that the suit is not yet complete which is why you will only be able to use a few of the new web configurations effectively in combat until it is." She warned.

"I'll work with what I have." Lincoln said as he grabbed the suit and went to his room to put it on under his clothes before grabbing a cartridge of the improved web fluid Lisa made and put it in to the new thinner red web shooters and pressing a button of the right shooter and fired out a web at the metal part of a light bulb. Upon connecting a current went through the web, causing the bulb to light up as a smile graced Lincoln's face.

"Lincoln! It's time to head to the game!" Lincoln's mother, Rita called before Lincoln quickly pulled his sleeves over his web shooters and headed out.

(At the game)

The Loud family van arrived near Brooklyn College as the Loud kids and parents got out and were greeted by three of the older Loud sisters. Leni along, with the oldest sister, Lori and the comedian, Luan.

"Hey, guys." Lincoln said as he hugged his three older sisters.

"Anyone seen Luna?" Lana asked, noticing that the struggling rocker and the third oldest of the Loud sisters had yet to arrive. Just then, a beat up Chevy drove in to the parking lot as a young woman in a jean jacket, faded blue jeans and a white shirt got out before another young woman in a leather jacket, ripped up blue jeans and a purple shirt.

As the second one was getting out of the drivers seat, she stopped for a second before frantically pulling a gun out of the front of her pants and hiding it under the seat. An act that went unnoticed by all but Lincoln and Lisa.

"Hey, Luna. You doing okay?" Lincoln asked as he gave his third oldest sister a hug noticing her arm was cut in three equal spots under her sleeve.

"I keep moving, little bro." Luna said as she began to greet the rest of the family before they went in to watch the game.

The rather large family entered the gym and took seats just before the game was about to start. All the while Lincoln was scanning both the crowd for Dr. Connors and the bench for Billy. His scans continued for several minutes before by chance, he accidently looked up in to the rafters to see the shadow of a tail.

"He's hear. Cover for me." Lincoln whispered to Lisa before getting up to find a safe space to change. As he did so, the game started.

As the actions of the game commenced, the Lizard watched from above as Lynn quickly got the ball and made her way up the court, easily scoring the first basket for the Bulldogs. She quickly targeted the player who got the ball and attempted to reach him along with one of her teammates only to trip over the feet of one of the opposing players.

After Lynn tripped, the Lizard suddenly became angered and leapt down at the player that Lynn only to be kicked clear of anyone by Spiderman who then landed in the center of the court now clad in his new suit.

Said suit was blue on the limbs with the exception of his web shooters, knuckle padding and the red pads on the bottom of the feet connecting to the sides of his legs which connected to the torso and shoulders. All the red parts of the suit with the exception of his web shooter had black web patterns on them and on the chest, there was a large black Spider the top four legs of which going over his shoulders and connecting to the legs of an identical Spider on the back and the bottom four of both stopping at his waist. Finally his mask was red with angular silver eyes and a web pattern forming that of a traditional Spider web over his face.

Spiderman quickly stood up and ran to Lynn to help her up. "You have to run, now." He said as the Lizard stood up to see the red and blue clad hero touching Lynn and began to sprint towards them. "GO!" He shouted pushing Lynn to run before turning as the Lizard leapt at him with the intention of stabbing his claws in to him. In response, Spiderman grabbed the Lizards arm and flipped him over.

Capitalizing on the stunned state, the Lizard was in at the moment, Spiderman leapt back while pressing in a button on his right web shooter. He the pointed his arm out and fired a web at the Lizard which began to shock him on contact.

Though the attack did cause pain to the Lizard, it did not stop him from continuing to approach Spiderman. In response, Spiderman back flipped out of the way when the Lizard got to close and stuck to one back boards before pulling off the hoop and jumping back to the Lizard and using the hoop and some webs to stick the Lizard's mouth shut. He then jumped back while pressing a button on his left web shooter and fired a web which formed a bolas that tied up the Lizard's limbs.

"Spiderman!" The young hero heard before he turned to see Dr. Connors running for the fight.

"Good timing, doc." Spiderman said while webbing the Lizard's tail to the floor. "Where do you need him to be held?" He asked.

"Just keep his head from moving so I can apply the antidote at the base of his neck." Dr. Connors said as Spiderman complied, holding the Lizard's head down as Dr. Connors quickly took out a syringe and injected it in the Lizard's neck. Almost immediately, he began to shrink and his tail began to shrivel up and fall apart. Dr. Connors quickly draped his coat over the creature as it fully reverted back to the form of his son.

"Will he be okay?" Spiderman asked.

"Yes, he'll be fine." Dr. Connors said, as he put his hand on his son's face.

"You should get him out of here before the police show up." Spiderman said before turning to leave.

"Spiderman." Dr. Connors said, catching the attention of the young hero before he had a chance to leave. "Thank you for helping my son." He said, gaining a nod from Spiderman.

"Any time." Spiderman said before swinging out of the gym.

(Outside)

The Loud family along with the rest of the crowd had fled the building in a panic when suddenly, Leni noticed something.

"Wait! Where's Lincoln?" Leni asked in a panic.

"He got up for some reason before that creature appeared." Lisa said, trying to cover for her brother.

"And when it did, I wanted to make sure everyone got out." Lincoln said as he walked up.

"Are you crazy?" That thing could have killed you!" Luna shouted.

"I couldn't just leave without making sure everyone was okay. Besides, that Spider guy showed and took care of things." Lincoln defended his actions.

"Still you shouldn't rush in to something like that." Lynn chastised in clear worry for her bother's safety.

"You're right. I promise I won't do something like that again." Lincoln said before mentally adding 'But I make no such promise for Spiderman.' and with that, the members of the Loud family decided to return to their respective homes.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
