GuestinyourStory: Interesting thought.

OfficialUSMWriter: Heh heh.

Sport21: Reasonable deduction.

Man285: It wasn't all that bad of an ending I suppose, but it could've been far better. Thanks.

The Timeless Writer: True.

Death Fury: Thanks.

Ultimatrix bearer: Things aren't as easy as that I'm afraid.

Chapter 29: Divided Or United?

(New York City, Manhattan, S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, a week or so later)

Every attempt to find the new lair of the goblins had been a failure. They looked all across the Manhattan borough, but could not find any indication to where they were. Doctor Conners had been working day and night with Spider-Man and Iron Spider to synthesize a cure to the Goblin virus and a vaccine for those who haven't been infected already. The three had nearly complete it.

"Just a few more adjustments to the white cells should hopefully do it." Doctor Conners said, checking the Goblin DNA.

"Enabling them to fight back against the virus. The protective layers on the chromosome should keep them from altering to a greener version." Iron Spider added.

(Just a few more touch ups guys, and hopefully we'll have something to stand against Goby's new virus.)

"How we looking Doc?" Spider-Man asked.

"Almost done." Doctor Conners answered.

Suddenly an alarm went off, all three of the scientists looked up in surprise and fear.

(Please don't tell me…)

The communicators of Spidey and Iron Spider instantly turned on. Fury's deadly serious face appeared.

"Goblin and his forces have been sighted at the Empire State Building. Osborn somehow smuggled his device to the top of it to unleash the toxin to transform anyone and everyone! I need you two to outside of the Academy. Conners will continue to work on the serum." Director Fury said.

(The Empire State Building? Isn't that kind of clichéd?)

"Sir, I need at least one of them to stay here to help me finish. It will require two of us to complete this in time." Doctor Conners said.

Director Fury was silent for a few moments, unsure of what to think.

"I'll stay sir. I've worked with these kind of genetics before, I'll handle it." Spider-Man said.

"Pete, I'll stay. You need to be out there to lead them." Iron Spider retorted.

"…Very well, Ms. Ayala will take charge of the attack. Several armed units of S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers have been sent to take the fight to the Goblin foot soldiers. Finish as soon as you can." Director Fury groaned in annoyance.

"I hope you know what you're doing." Iron Spider grunted, then swiftly flew off.

(So do I…if we succeed…I'll have to worry about something even far worse…)

(Outside the Academy, a minute later)

White Tiger's left eye was twitching in annoyance, completely flabbergasted that Spider-Man had decided to stay behind. If her mask was off, anyone looking at her would swear they could see a vein or two pulsing on her forehead.

"Your leader may not be joining you, but you still have a mission to complete and a city to protect. There will be two teams. Each will have a field leader with a specific mission. Team One will be consisted of: Triton, Squirrel Girl, Nova, Dagger, and Cloak will be led by Mr. Cage to defeat Osborn's foot soldiers. The rest of you shall be led by Ms. Ayala on a direct attack on Osborn himself. My S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers can only fight the Goblin menace so long, you must hurry there to fight them. Mr. Parker an Dr. Conners will hurry to complete the vaccine as soon as possible." Director Fury said.

"Let's charge them head on!" Rhino grunted, punching his right fist into his left palm.

"You said it!" Agent Venom laughed.

The two high fived one another. Director Fury nodded, the young agents nodded back. Two Quinjets lowered before them.

"I'll coordinate from here and stay with the good doctors as they work on the cure. Good luck." Director Fury said, walking away.

White Tiger looked to the others, while some were calm, many of them were frightened. A few of them were whispering about their wishes that Spider-Man was here to lead them against this monstrosity. Her eyes narrowed in anger and focus.

'Well, let's see how this goes.' White Tiger grunted in her mind.

White Tiger lifted her head and her right hand over her head then let out a sound that was a mix of a growl & a snarl. The Academy turned to her in surprise. She walked in front of them and stood before them.

"Get you acts together! This city is counting on us guys! It doesn't matter if Spider-Man is here with us or not! Those freaks out there! They don't care whether you're scared or not! What they want is to ruin this city and turn everyone in it into monsters just like them! Are we just going to sit here and let that happen?! NO! I'm going to tell you what the hell we're going to do: We're going to fly out there! We're going to beat the hell out of every Goblinized son of a bitch out there! And I am personally going to kick that motherfucking piece of shit's, the Green Goblin's, ass and his wretched son's too!" White Tiger proclaimed, her voice filled with fire and passion.

The other students started smiling and nodding to one another.

"WHO'S WITH ME?!" White Tiger roared, throwing her right fist into the air.

The Academy cheered and, those who could, threw their fist into the air, Zabu just roared to signify he was with them.

(The Empire State Building, top balcony, several minutes later)

The Green Goblin stood with his son, the Hobgoblin, near a tall odd looking, spiraling machine. They chuckled as they saw the Goblin henchmen decimate the armed men sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. to bring them down. There were even three dozen armed soldiers who lay at the two head goblins' feet, bloodied and broken. They both heard jet engines and looked up to see two Quinjets approaching the building, with several S.H.I.E.L.D. trucks racing through the streets towards the building.

"Ah, now it's a party." The Green Goblin chuckled, walking towards the edge of the balcony with both arms spread out as if he was going to hug his incoming enemies, a sickly grin spread across his face.

To be continued…

(I need to apologize again for the wait guys, I'm truly sorry it took so long.)
