Chapter 53: For What is to Come
(Triskelion, the next day)
Director Fury stood on a raised platform, White Tiger and Agent Coulson standing at either side of him. The Academy and the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D., including those from the outposts around the city, stood below him with all their eyes on the Director. Agent Coulson was particularly nervous; he was reluctant to leave Peter's Aunt May. Regardless, when S.H.I.E.L.D. calls he came running, much to the anger of the woman who was counting on his company to try to possibly ease her emotional pain because of the situation.
"You all know why you've been called to this meeting. The threat of the Goblins is imminent to the world's security and our very survival. We cannot wait to mount an offensive on them. I have formed a plan to strike down the Goblin menace. Here is what we're going to do." Director Fury informed, his one eye narrowed in seriousness and his voice radiating his focuses anger.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. forces waited attentively to what was to be said next.
(Oscorp Tower)
The Green Goblin grumbled and growled as he woke up. He grunted in surprise and hissed as he found himself unable to get up. He looked to see familiar sickly green webbing locking down him from his shoulders to his hands and his knees to his feet on a metal table.
"Oh goody, looky who's awake! Hehe!" A familiar, cackling voice giggled.
'Oh great.' The Green Goblin groaned in his mind.
Now he recalled what happened. He was barely sleeping in his cell when a horrible crashing, screaming sound was heard. Explosions blasted before and around him before his spidey sense went off and he was knocked out by a vicious blow. He remembered now who hit him, he got the same feeling then that he has now.
"Hello, 'boss'. Heh heh hehahaha!" The voice cackled madly.
The Green Goblin hissed, baring his teeth at Goblin-Spidey. His former henchmen grinned back at him.
"You look well rested, like you're pitching not catching." Goblin-Spidey chuckled, his voice filled with the enjoyment of the mocking.
The Green Goblin hissed as he struggled against the webbing. He growled in frustration when he looked at the webbing again and realized it is denser and thorough than he originally saw.
"What the hell do you think you'll accomplish with me here? I'll break free, and I'll-" The Goblin started to say.
A goop of webbing shut his mouth, his furious eyes narrowed at Goblin-Spidey, who lowered his hand after firing the webbing.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Goblin-Spidey chittered, waving a finger before his former 'boss'.
(Heh heh heh, oh this is fun.)
"Is this a private party or can anyone join?" Another familiar voice chuckled.
(Ah, right on time.)
"Speak of the devil." Goblin-Spidey chuckled, turning to face the owner of the voice.
Hobgoblin grinned as he walked into the room. The Goblin's eyes narrowed with agitation.
"Hi dad. Such a shame we couldn't have had the father-son bonding time I so hoped e could've had." Hobgoblin taunted, his shark-like teeth chomping against one another with every word.
The Goblin rolled his eyes in annoyance. He grumbled in frustration and disgust as he started ripping the webbing on his mouth with his teeth. He spat the webbing he torn away, recoiling in disgust. Goblin-Spidey and Hobgoblin laughed at him, pointing fingers at their former master.
"Just wait you pathetic boys, you will regret what you have done." The Goblin snarled, baring his fangs at both of his former followers.
(How pathetic. I love it! Hahaha!)
Hobgoblin's right hand lit with flames, the fire dancing fiercely on it. The demon-like goblin slowly moved his hand towards The Goblin.
"You truly think you two idiots can possibly achieve your goals?" The Green Goblin grunted.
"Oh, we would say we learned from the best…but that wouldn't be true." Goblin-Spidey scoffed, moving his face closer to The Goblin's.
"You little bas-Arrrhh!" The Goblin hissed at Goblin-Spidey, but then bellowed in pain.
Hobgoblin's hand that danced with flames snatched The Goblin by his chin and jaw. Goblin-Spidey jumped up and down while laughing like a madman. Hobgoblin simply chuckled, his yellow toothy grin spread wide across his hideous face. The Green Goblin growled and groaned in pain, his eyes wide with shock then narrowed at Hobgoblin.
"Oh, old man, we've got one hell of a time planned for you." Hobgoblin chuckled.
"What are you blabbering about, by?" The Green Goblin hissed, his teeth barely pulling apart from one another as the fire from Hobgoblin's eyes increased in heat.
Goblin-Spidey chuckled sinisterly, suddenly above the father and son duo, slowly crawling on the ceiling. Hobgoblin released his grip on The Green Goblin. A horrible burn mark in the shape of Hobgoblin's hand was painted on The Goblin's face. Despite feeling the wound slowly healing, the pain was excruciating.
"Oh I know that those S.H.I.E.L.D. losers will be coming to take us down soon. With their loser leader back, they will plan to attack soon. And it couldn't be any better timing." Goblin-Spidey chuckled, his soulless eyes never moving away from the Goblin's.
The Green Goblin couldn't be except feel he realized he knew what his former lieutenant was talking about.
"The machine's updates have been finished?" The Goblin grunted, a faint sense of surprise in his voice.
Goblin-Spidey and Hobgoblin laughed madly, their mouths opened wide and spit flew from their jagged jaws. The Green Goblin grumbled in annoyance and confusion.
"You fool! The machine has been updated for weeks!" Goblin-Spidey laughed.
"WHAT?!" The Green Goblin screamed in shock.
"We just didn't tell you. You were so busy trying to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D., that you forgot entirely about the machine. You left it to us." Hobgoblin chuckled, adding salt to wound with his statement.
"You two little bastards! We could have dispersed out from Manhattan and eventually swallowed S.H.I.E.L.D. after we conquered everything, everyone, and everywhere else! With S.H.I.E.L.D. powerless to stop us!" The Goblin screeched in fury.
"Oh, but I had a most ingenuous plan come to me during our little…family squabble." Goblin-Spidey chuckled, crawling down one of the walls.
"What? What could you have possibly-" The Goblin hissed, but couldn't finish his statement.
Goblin-Spidey jumped over The Goblin, his right fist sweetly hitting his former master's jaw. He then landed on the other wall then dropped to the floor. He stood over The Green Goblin along with Hobgoblin.
"Let's just say…we've created something…that…will bring us…closer together." Goblin-Spidey chuckled, his wicked grin spread across his hideous face, letting his words linger in their cryptic meaning.
To be continued…
