Chapter 55: Back in the Game

(Oscorp Tower, laboratory, moments later)

The group stared in shock as The Goblin King grinned at them as the flames burned like an aura around him. The flames dissipated everywhere, still leaving a terrifying visage.

"I must thank you…if it weren't for you, my backup plan would likely might not have worked. For that, I'll spare you…for what is to come." The Goblin King chuckled.

The group looked to one another in confusion.

"For you see, Mr. Parker told me about that serum he created. Before he…became 'normal' again and turned on me, he created an anti-serum." The Goblin King chuckled, a wicked grin across his hideous face.

"Y-You're lying." Nova stammered, fear thick within his voice.

"Am I?" The Goblin King scoffed, his grin spreading wider.

"I-I'm sorry guys…it…it's true." Spider-Man whimpered.

The group's eyes widened in terror.

"GET HIM!" Director Fury roared.

"No…wait!" Spider-Man gasped, trying yet failing to move to stop the group.

The group except for Spider-Man started to rush at The Goblin King, but their foe leveled his open right palm at the group with suddenly sent waves of red blazing energy forward. The group was sent flying through the wall behind them and knocking them out. The Goblin King chuckled in amusement. He started to walk towards the huge hole in the wall.

"I'll have to thank you and the runt for this new power. Now, if you'll excuse me." The Goblin King chuckled, blazing eyes and grinning face locked on Spidey.

(No…no…)

The Goblin King grinned as he walked through the wall and looked at the unconscious forms of the elite S.H.I.E.L.D. team. He saw a large shape from the corner of his eye. He saw a few Goblins rush into the hallway, eyes wide with shock and confusion on them.

"Seems the regime has switched back to its rightful place. Here, let's go spread the word." The Goblin King chuckled as he walked towards them and then pat them.

The Goblins saw the trail of deep red fire he left behind then followed him with heads hanging low and fear in their eyes.

(In the laboratory)

Spider-Man grunted as he crawled out of the room to the team. He grabbed Director Fury's communicator. He pushed a few buttons.

"H-Hello…is…is anyone there?" Spider-Man gasped over the communicator.

"Who is-Wait…Peter? Peter is that you?" The voice that Spidey recognized belonging to Agent Coulson gasped in response.

"It's me …Goblin…he's…he's more powerful than ever…the guys…they're out cold." Spider-Man replied.

"Get them out of there! We have the building surrounded and fighting the Goblins. We can storm into the building and overpower-" Agent Coulson stated.

"No…when…when I was a Goblin…I created a destabilizing agent to the serum Doctor Conners, Cho, and I made. If you come in and he uses it…all of us will become Goblins." Spider-Man replied, interjecting.

"What?!" Agent Coulson gasped, fear in his voice.

"I-I'm sorry…I couldn't-" Spider-Man stammered.

"You weren't you. All that matters is that you're back. Now get them out of there before Osborn turns you all green and try to destroy that antiserum. We'll continue to hold the line out here, but I can't say for how long." Agent Coulson replied.

"I…I will do my best." Spider-Man replied.

"That's enough for me. Good luck." Agent Coulson said then ended the comm chat.

Spider-Man remembered, to his horror, creating and hiding the antiserum within the laboratory. He crawled over to where he had hidden it. He carefully bypassed the safeguards his Goblin self created and found the disgusting yellow looking liquid within vials. Spider-Man grabbed the case the vials were locked in and proceeded to empty them into a nearby trash can. He looked around and found some chemical containers which he used to incinerate the trash can and the contents within it.

(Now…to…get the others out of here.)

Spider-Man's limbs shook and ached with pain. The energy transfer took his Goblinized abilities yet he could feel his spider strength. Director Fury shooting the machine must have let him keep his old powers or his DNA had completely stabilized again with the spider genetics after so long…he felt like it was both. However, he still was drained of energy. He rushed through the lab's contents as quickly as he could, for he knew The Goblin King would return.

(Come on…come on…I know you're here somewhere…)

Spider-Man gasped in relief at finding what he sought: syringe with a vial of adrenaline within it. He then injected the needle into his body, grunting in pain then slowly pressed the plunger which pushed the content within into Spider-Man. He then carefully pulled out the needle and dropped it. He grunted and gasped as he felt the adrenaline rejuvenating his energy. He hurried over to the S.H.I.E.L.D. group and Harry.

(I'm so sorry guys.)

He saw something in Director Fury's gear that looked very familiar to him. He took them out.

(New web shooters. Thank you, Fury.)

Spider-Man secured them on his wrists. Spider-Man moved down to pick them up. His eyes went to White Tiger.

(Ava…I'm…I'm so sorry…What…What…What can I possibly do to make up for what I said? Guys…I messed up…real bad…really bad…like…practically unforgivably bad…)

Spider-Man carefully lifted them onto his shoulders, stacking them so that he could carry all of them.

(Damn it Spidey, you've gotta move. Gotta make up for what you've done.)

Spider-Man gasped and grunted as he tried to hurry out of the building, moving as fast as he could without dropping any of those he carried them down several floors. His spidey sense went haywire as clapping was heard.

(Oh no.)

Spider-Man's eyes widened in shock at seeing The Goblin King slowly clapped his hands, grinning smugly with jagged teeth bared. Dozens of Goblins stood behind him then suddenly moved behind Spider-Man.

"Bravo, bravo, an extraordinary performance. Thank you for saving me the trouble of coming back up to get you. Now, surrender. I'm feeling generous, so surrender and I'll make this as painless as possible." The Goblin King chuckled, his toothy grin physically depicting the lie.

"N-No." Spider-Man grunted in response.

"Heh heh. I was hoping you'd say that." The Goblin King chuckled.

He threw his hand left out and a line of webbing the wrist flew forward, wrapping around those Spider-Man carried. The Goblin King pulled them back with his hand after grabbing the webbing. Something fell loose and fell in one of Spidey's hands. He didn't have time to look. Spider-Man rushed forward and then leapt forward, letting out a fearful and desperately angry yell, trying to make an assault on his foe. The Goblin King grinned as he moved his right hand to his left side then swiftly backhanded Spider-Man, sending the wall crawler crashing through several walls and flying out of the building. He grunted as he landed on a car, the metal being indented with the horrible sound of crashing metal. Spider-Man groaned as he saw unclear shapes moving towards him and his sight locked onto what was in his hand and recognized: a familiar looking white flower.

"A-Ava…I'm sorry…" Spider-Man whimpered weakly before falling unconscious.

To be continued…

(Again, sorry for the late update.)
