An entire week has passed since Peter revealed his secret identity to Gwen. He knew that he could trust her because now she was giving him heads up on crimes that aren't even on the radar and she could sneak into public places that Spiderman nor Peter Parker could investigate crimes.

Peter was enjoying himself, laying down in his bed on his back with only his mask on, he was given a bulletin via Karen from Gwen. Peter jumped from his bed and onto the ceiling spontaneously. With his two feet and one hand sticking to the ceiling with his free hand dangling down, he asks Karen what is going on?

"Peter," Karen began in an unusually nervous voice. "It appears that Gwen has given you an update. Apparently, in Brooklyn, there is a building that has been set on flames. The cause of the fire is unknown but currently, the fire department is there and they are saving civilians."

Peter shrugged as he saw nothing wrong with it. "Is that it?"

Now Karen was stuttering slightly. "Well...er...there is also something else, Peter. There is a male with green battlefield armor flying around the city whilst on a glider. He also appears to be shooting rockets and is most likely the cause of the fires breaking out."

"Oh crap," Peter exclaimed in horror as he leaped down. "What are we waiting for, Karen?" He looks around to see where he stored his suit. "Where the hell did I put my suit?" He looked through his memories for help. "The attic!" He snaps his head up to see the attic door on the ceiling. With a thin wire dangling in the air from the door, he grips and yanks with minimal force. The door opens up and his costume fell down, but he catches it. "Karen, ETA on getting to the glider guy?"

"I can't give you an exact destination because he is moving too fast. But I can give you a general idea as to where he is."

"That's good." Peter jumped into his onesie costume, loaded a new cartridge of webbing into his web shooters and closed his attic door before leaping out the open window and swinging into the city. "All right, Karen, give me those general directions!"

"Northwest of Kings County Hospital."

"On my way then."

Spiderman swung from one building to the other, not stopping or slowing down for any reason. When he spotted a helicopter flying in the same direction as he was from behind him, he gained speed on his web zipping. Karen was constantly giving him updates on how far away he was and which direction the flying figure was flying. He was already getting closer and closer to the flyer's general direction, and his spider-sense was tingling with massive intensity, almost as if his skull was about to explode.

Reaching the Kings County Hospital he swung through the air and landed on the roof of the emergency building before leaping to one of the edges on the northwestern side of the building.

His head shifted from side to side like an owl looking for its prey. He kept his eyes and ears alert for anything out of the ordinary. A man flying on a glider would be impossible to miss. Even if he did miss him with his eyes, the almost painful sensation back of his skull would help him.

Spiderman's eyes widened as this spider-sense tingle even more than before as if it was right on cue. His passive, yet powerful powers were alerting him to look behind. Slow motion from his perspective, he turned around and saw a green figure flying a silver glider towards him. This figure was dressed from head to toe in green battlefield armor with his mask looking like an ancient mask of a green goblin. The glider had two large blades protruded out at the front with the intent to stab Spiderman. He backflips as high as he can through the air, getting behind the Green Goblin as he passes his initial resting spot and shoots two lines of webbing at the glider and catapults himself towards it.

The Green Goblin feels two feet hammer into his back and throws him off the glider. The Green Goblin doesn't even scream as he begins his plummet to the ground. Spiderman was going to shoot a web out to save him, but the glider reacted on instant and flew towards the direction the Green Goblin was falling. It was so sudden that Spiderman was yanked with the glider when he did not let go of his webbing.

The glider catches up to the Green Goblin at such amazing speed, almost faster than a bullet, floating under his feet, waiting for him to step on the glider before it flies off with the Green Goblin on. Spiderman almost hit the ground but the glider yanked him with before he could hit rock bottom. "Oh man," Spiderman started to complain behind his mask. "What the hell?!"

As the glider ascended, the farther away Spiderman was from the ground and back into his usually elevated level of swinging.

"You tried to kill me," a cackling voice said. The voice was deep and had a demonic tone to it, something similar to the Joker's voice in The Dark Knight. Spiderman turned his head up and saw the Green Goblin staring at him with a devilish smile on his face (although that could've been the mask's default expression). "You tried to kill me, but now, I am going to kill you, Spiderman!"

"Who are you?" Spiderman asked but the wind slamming into his face made him wheeze out the words. "Karen, scan for weaknesses!" To avoid being in Green Goblin's control, he lets go of the webbing and swings off another. He pursues the flying villain as fast as he can but the glider was fast as hell.

"How does the Green Goblin sound for a name?" the villain laughed. "The Green Goblin: Killer of the Spiderman!"

"How about, Jolly Green Tiny? You'd make a fortune selling books." He tries shooting a line of webbing at the villain but Green Goblin ducked out the way and yanked the web out of his hand. "Hey, Gobey?" Spiderman called out in his consistent pursuit. "Where did you get that glider from? Did you find it behind a dumpster because that glider looks like trash?!"

It was a lie. That glider looked as rad as hell but Peter wasn't going to give Green Goblin any satisfaction.

"This trashy glider as you call it can impale you if it wanted to on its own!" Green Goblin taunted, intending on driving fear into the young hero. "It's going to be the death of someone though: You!"

This chase happened all out the city, Spiderman actually swung from Brooklyn all the way to Upper New York Bay. Spiderman was slightly closer to catching up to the Green Goblin, but when he shot a concentrated line of webbing out towards his glider, the trajectory was too low and the webbing just fell towards the earth. Spiderman tried again and this time, he was successful, but he was completely oblivious of how fast the glider was flying because he was being yanked forward by one hand with high speed. He felt like his arm would've ripped itself from its socket.

"Why don't we go somewhere where the police won't shoot at us?" The Green Goblin had a destination in mind and he wanted to make sure it was a location where there would be little to no cops shooting at them. Spiderman struggled to keep a grip but heard what the Green Goblin said and wondered exactly what he meant. His lists of where the goblin was taking him were narrowed down to an island over the ocean that had a huge green lady holding a torch.

"Liberty Island?! Are you kidding me?" Spiderman shouted at the top of his lungs.

"No," Karen buzzed in suddenly. "He's right."

It was too late to rethink anything because the glider was already flying over the water and towards Liberty Island. Karen already alerted him that a fall from a height of one hundred and twenty feet and into the water would most likely result in death by blunt trauma. Spiderman groans in frustration and starts panicking slightly once he feels his palm slip from the webbing and hanging by his index and middle finger.

The Green Goblin saw something that piqued his interest as he closed in on the island. "A ferry full of sweet innocent people? All wrapped up like a Christmas present to be blown up by me? How wonderful!"

Spiderman's senses went off and Karen alerted him that the goblin's glider was about to launch an anti-tank missile towards the orange ferry on its way to the island. Spiderman's eyes widened as he stole a glance at the ferry and thought of all the people that were going to die. "NO!" He had to do something because his senses were telling him that the villain was going to fire in three seconds. He could not shoot a line of webbing out so he had to think of something else. It took him a half second to come up with a plan and another half second to activate. "KAREN, TASER WEBS!"

The taser webs activated and a stream of electricity shot out from his web shooter and along the line of webbing that he was being dragged from, and towards the glider just as it fired the anti-tank missile. Green Goblin groans in pain as over a thousand volts of electricity course through his body and the glider and causes him to lose his balance. While that is not it, the glider spins out control and the anti-tank missile is nevertheless shot out but falls harmlessly into the ocean.

Green Goblin falls towards the ocean too, but Spiderman does everything in his power to save him. The glider did not come back to retrieve the rider, so let go of the webbing he was clinging on, shot a harmless web out towards the Green Goblin and shot another web out onto the Statue of Liberty, barely being within range.

Spiderman nosedives faster towards the falling Green Goblin, catching him with one hand before swinging into the air and landed on the crown of the Statue of Liberty. Green Goblin broke free out of Spiderman's grip, causing them both to fall to the green floor of the statue. Spiderman hit his back hard against the wall, huffing the wind out of him, and Green Goblin simply landed on his feet and glared at the downed Spiderman with malice.

"Honestly, you just should've let me fall to my death," Green Goblin spoke demonically as he walked towards the hero. Spiderman heard that demonic voice and slowly crawled to his feet. "You didn't kill me, now I'm going to kill you." Spiderman's sense went off but it was too late. Green Goblin already punched him in the stomach with another blow clipping him in the jaw. Spiderman toughed through the pain and went to punch his enemy in the face, only for Green Goblin to catch his fist mid-punch. "Impressive," the Green Goblin mocked with a smirk under his mask.

Then there was that electricity feeling again. Karen activated the taser fists and shocked Green Goblin back. "Thank you, Karen." He whacked Green Goblin across the face with the other taser fist.

"You're welcome, Peter. Scanning for weaknesses."

Spiderman kept on hammering the goblin's face with punches, not stopping for anything. The punches were sending the villain a step or two back and over the edge. Spiderman had no intention of letting him fall to his death, but he wasn't going to leave him conscious either. The next taser punch he aimed for the back of his head, only Green Goblin had regained his senses and ducked. He came back up at Spiderman with a powerful uppercut.

Spiderman is shot weightlessly up into the air, coming down hard on the concrete floor just a few feet away from Green Goblin. The villain leaps forward towards him with a front flip and kicks Spiderman hard against the sternum. He kips up and tries to trap the goblin in a web, but the villain was faster. He was already leaping forward with his feet connecting to Spiderman's face. Spiderman was dizzy under the mask, lightheaded and world turning black. He was now seeing three Green Goblins.

"Peter," Karen called out after thoroughly scanning Green Goblin. "I'm afraid that there is no visible weakness on Green Goblin, but he can be tired out."

"Tired out?" He swung at the wrong Green Goblin. "I tire him out?"

"There is a faster way to defeat him. I could activate the instant-kill mode."

Spiderman yelled out in opposition. "No killing!"

Green Goblin chuckled at Spiderman and scooted around him. "No killing for you, just me." He reeled his fist back and threw it forward, aiming for the back of Spiderman's skull.

The only thing that saved Spiderman by dodging the punch was that his spider-senses gave him one-one hundredths of a second warning to think and plan. Spiderman leaned forward to dodge all the way, avoiding the punch and kick Green Goblin back.

Spiderman backflips towards the Green Goblin and kicks him hard across the kaw. Green Goblin counterattacks with a few strikes. He grabs Spiderman by the waist and threw him across the concrete ground. Spiderman shoots a web at Green Goblin's face to blind him. Green Goblin groans in frustration and rips the webbing out of his eyes. Spiderman already jumped back to his feet and bear hugged tightly. "TASE!"

Karen activated the suit's taser and electrocuted the Green Goblin with seven thousand volts of electricity. Even the webs around his eyes were electrified and the Green Goblin lost all traces of strength within him. The blood inside the Green Goblin's veins felt like they were being turned to stone, which caused him to yell out in anger and rip his opponent's grip from his body, forcefully tearing out the webs in his eyes and punches Spiderman hard in the face, his two fists connecting to his left eye lenses, snapping Spiderman's head back.

Spiderman felt like he was falling in slow motion. The metallic taste of blood coated his tongue and his back hit hard against the ground, knocking the wind out of him. He yelps in pain as he feels the muscles inside him tense up. Then he felt his left eye hit by cold air and the fingers to his left hand went to touch his eye. He couldn't feel his spider lense, indicating that the goblin broke it and exposed his hazel eye.

Green Goblin charges to Spiderman kneels down to one knee, grabs him by the arm and yanks him to his feet to deliver another uppercut to his jaw. This time, Spiderman toughed through the pain and was earned another hit from the goblin. He was almost about to push hit goblin, but Green Goblin shoved him back with a powerful kick to his chest.

Spiderman flew across the ground and almost went flying off the edge but a single grip onto the ledge wall prevented him from falling to his death.

"Peter, you have a serious concussion!" Karen warned with concern. "Your heartbeat is one-seventy-five beats per minute. You have sustained several bruises on your jaw and your cheek is bleeding. You bit your tongue also. No major injuries, but you will be bleeding profusely from the tongue."

"How do we take him down, Karen?" he mumbled with his bruised tongue.

"Tiring him out," Karen suggested. "You have tired yourself out and with a few more punches, he will be able to beat you."

"Isn't there any kind of web variant or super combo movie that we can use that will beat him?"

Karen searched through her systems for a web variant or super combo that would be enough to withstand the Green Goblin. Her searches ended in failure. "There is nothing. There is only one way to beat him."

Spiderman panicked upon deducing what the only way was. "No instant-kill mode!"

"I will activate instant-kill mode, then I will tone it down to the lowest setting possible so we will exhaust him faster. Then, I will deactivate the kill mode and let you do the rest."

"No, Karen," Spiderman objected as he hoisted himself up slightly. "I don't want to risk killing."

"PETER!" Karen yelled into Peter's eardrums, startling him. "Trust me! We are not going to kill anyone! I promise. I don't want you to die!"

Green Goblin went over to the edge to see where Spiderman had landed and was satisfied to see him still hanging on, talking to himself and unaware of his presence. He wrapped his hand tight around Spiderman's upper arm and yanked him up. He threw Spiderman to the ground and stomped on his web shooters with so much force that they crumbled and webbing spewed everywhere.

"No more taser webs, Spiderman," Green Goblin said vindictively. "I am a little disappointed that this fight didn't last as long as I expected it, but it brings me great pleasure to know that I'm gonna squash you like a bug. I promise to make this slow so your eyes can slowly close as you die."

The Green Goblin lifted his leg and placed it slowly on Spiderman's temple. As Spiderman felt the boot against his leg, he thought of all the people in his life that he would no longer see. Aunt May, Harry, Ned, Betty, Jameson, Eddie Brock, but most of all, Gwen.

He was not going to lie there on the ground and die, he was going to fight to survive. "Activate kill mode!" he shouted as soon as he felt the weight being to press down on him.

"Level One: Instant Kill Mode: Activated."

Spiderman's only eye lens turned red and he punched Green Goblin in the leg. The blast was powerful enough to shatter the bones in Green Goblin's leg. He staggered back and growled in pain, but his regenerative healing factor was starting to take place. Spiderman kips up and punches Green Goblin a few times across the face.

The kicks and punches were coming much faster than the Green Goblin could detect and it was tiring. His mask was split in half and exposed his left eye and some of his red hair.

When he finally couldn't take any more punches, he scooted back towards the ledge and raised a hand in defeat. "Wait, I surrender!"

Spiderman witnessed his enemy's visible defeat, but this did not stop him from doing anything else, only for him to tell Karen to deactivate instant kill mode. Once that was deactivated, he grabbed Green Goblin by the chest and punched him in the stomach three times. Green Goblin folded over but was yanked back up to his feet. Spiderman punched him several times across the face, jaw, stomach, and chest and they were all causing pain to Green Goblin that his regenerative healing factor was starting to retard.

Green Goblin collapsed onto his side and stared at the superhero in horror and resumed raising his hands in defeat. "Wait, stop! Stop! I give up!"

Spiderman reeled his hand back to finish Green Goblin off until he saw Green Goblin's brown eye color and red hair that looked familiar to Peter.

The Green Goblin peeled off his mask slowly to reveal the scared face of Norman Osborn. Spiderman's eyes widened and the Goblin noticed it through his exposed eye. "Norman Osborn, is that you?" Spiderman lowered his fist and stepped back from Norman in horror. "You're the Green Goblin? You set those houses on fire?"

He was expecting Norman to justify his answer or even beg for forgiveness, but he got something else. "I didn't do it, it was the Goblin! I couldn't stop him! He tried to make me kill people, please help me!"

"What are you talking about?" Spiderman asked. "That was all on you. There is no one else to blame but you. You could be tried for assault and battery, arson, and attempted murder." Spiderman took a step closer. "You tried to kill me; how could you do something like that?"

Norman threw the mask over to the side and laid his back against the ledge. "I would never do something like that," Norman attempted to convince. "I had no control over my actions. It was the Green Goblin, he did everything. I was just a hollow shell, a vessel for something of pure evil. You have to believe me."

Split personality, Spiderman deduced. Maybe he had no control over his actions. Maybe he really is sorry and that he really is a hollow shell for something pure evil. "Scan," he muttered to Karen. She did a quick scan of him to indicate if he was telling the truth or not. The flashing green light in his lens that is still in contact told him that he really was indeed telling the truth.

"What happened to you, Mr. Osborn?" He suddenly thought of his friend, Harry and what he would think if he saw his father like this. He could not allow that to happen; Harry would be devastated that his father was a criminal. "Tell me what happens from beginning to end and I will make sure that you get the best help there is."

"Thank you, Spiderman," Norman said gratefully as he sat up. "I don't want to hurt anybody." There was still an ounce of the Green Goblin trying to take over the helpless man's persona and was partially successful in getting Norman to discreetly press a push pin sized button on his leg to signal his glider.

The glider very silently ascended up to the top of the statue with the same blades that were attempted to stab Spiderman earlier with protruded out at the front.

"Someone," Norman began. "Someone gave me something that made me go super strong. Enhanced reflexes, insanity." He looked down in shame. "He wore a mask and he never showed any of his skin. He also kidnapped Dr. Otto Octavius and put inhuman arms on his back. He wanted me to kill you."

Spiderman held his hand out to Norman to indicate that he could trust him. "Let me help you. Together, we can find him and we can bring him to justice for what he has done to you."

"I'm afraid I can't do that, my friend," Norman said abruptly. "That serum my friend gave me and Otto, they didn't break our sanity, because we never had any sanity, to begin with. That serum, brought us to realize what we really are and it made me realize, that I like being this way." Now he was no longer Norman Osborn. He never was Norman Osborn and he was always meant to be Green Goblin and Otto Octavius was always meant to be Dr. Octopus. "I have an exceedingly pressing appointment elsewhere." Spiderman narrows his eyes and looks at Norman with shock and sadness that he is unable to save his friend's father.

"I'm giving you a choice to come clean, Mr. Osborn," he tried to warn.

"My ambitious foe, my choices are unlimited." Spiderman's senses went off, causing him to gasp in horror as he feels the tingling feeling of the Green Goblin's glider rocketing towards him with the blades aiming for his heart. "It is you who-"

Spiderman backflips high into the air and the glider flies for Norman's chest, piercing him in the chest. Spiderman lands on the edge he was hanging off of and snapped his head towards the stabbed Norman, the blades of the glider deep into his chest and blood starting to leak everywhere and Norman yelling in pain. Spiderman gasps in shock as he witnesses the father of his best friend slowly fade away from existence, the guilt seeping into him like a bookshelf falling onto him. The last words that he heard Norman ever utter was: "You will pay…."

Peter started crying under his mask, one tear running down his mask from his exposed eye as he held his head down in mortification. "I was supposed to save him….and he died….."

"Maybe it was for the best."

Spiderman snapped his head to gaze over to a new person who had just somehow snuck onto the very top of the statue. Dressed in all black with a jackal mask over his face and was leaning over the edge in a suicidal way. Spiderman jumped off the edge and turned his body to face him, prepared to fight if his spider-senses alerted him of it. "How'd you get up here?"

"Same way you did," the Jackal said in a deep voice. "I climbed up here like a spider." The masked figure turned its head to Norman's corpse, Peter unable to read his face or emotions (if any) due to his Jackal mask. "Died by his own glider, that is some insane irony."

"Who are you?!" Spiderman shouted, trying to sound threatening, only to fail pathetically.

"The Jackal," he answered proudly to the hero. "You are aiming your fists at the wrong man." Jackal took several steps towards the masked hero, "I stopped the Green Goblin and Dr. Octopus from doing any harm."

"What are you talking about? I'm the one who stopped them."

"You only stopped them because I wanted you to stop them," Jackal argued. "If it wasn't for me, you never would've unlocked your greatest potential. Green Goblin and Dr. Octopus were perfect enemies for you. Just to kill you and you unleashed your greatest potential and defeated both villains. I am the one who gave them their abilities."

Suddenly, the rage within Spiderman was about to spike. "What?"

"Not for any malice reason, but to show New York City that New York really is safe with Spiderman. I recorded your fights with both villains, about to publish both to the web to show New York that if Spiderman can defeat two of the most powerful villains in this city, then he really can keep this population of eight million people safe." The Jackal leaned in closer on Spiderman. "I don't care who you are under that mask." He mentally took a picture of Peter's exposed hazel eye in his memory. "If it weren't for me, then your fame never would've been expanded."

"I'm not looking for fame, I'm trying to protect the people of this city."

"You can only protect the people of this city for so long before they want you to fail, die trying to save a little boy from being crushed. They will eventually hate you, one way or another. I mean, look at the Daily Bugle. I am trying to make New York safe by unlocking your full potential and increasing your popularity so people will not want you dead and maybe even save you from another villain in the future."

"Creating and unleashing Green Goblin and Dr. Octopus is just as inhumane as killing a person," Spiderman argued.

"They were already corrupt," Jackal snapped. "Because of me, you gave people hope that there are still good people out there and that the Amazing Spectacular Spiderman is a good guy that we should all adore. You owe me that much to keep the city safe."

"Your heart may be in the right place, but your actions are inexcusable. People would have died because of you."

"Could've died if it wasn't for Spiderman to save the day! You should be thankful that both villains are stopped for good. Dr. Octopus, I executed in his jail cell so he would never break out again. Walked right in there, and snapped his neck at a one-eighty degree angle."

"You're a murder!"

"No," Jackal justified. "There are two types of people that this city needs: Those who will do what is right and those who will do what is necessary. Killing Dr. Octopus and let's face it after you defeated Green Goblin, I was going to kill him anyway. Call me whatever, we both made sure that these villains would do no one any harm from this point on. You should be thanking me for doing what is necessary."

"I understand what you are trying to do, but it's wrong," Spiderman argued.

"Sometimes, doing the wrong thing is the most necessary thing to do in order to protect people. From here on out, I'm going to help you take down criminals and I will kill only if it is necessary. Trust me, I am an exceptional spotter when it comes to crimes." The Jackal looked over the edge and then back at Spiderman. "Now if you excuse me my ally, I must be leaving. I have a dinner that I must attend to."

Spiderman threw a punch to Jackal as soon as he turned his head. Jackal deflected the blow and pushed Spiderman back. The hero tries shooting a taser web at him, but Jackal was far too fast and dodged it before leaping over the edge with an exceptional jump into the air and nose diving into the ocean.

Spiderman couldn't pursue him in the water and was left sitting there, rubbing his head, thinking of what to do next.
