Chapter 58: The Rescue
(Oscorp Tower, a few moments later)
Spider-Man, Iron Spider, and Agent Venom slowly snuck their way through the tower.
"Spidey, bro…I'm glad you brought me along for this mission…but…wouldn't uh…it have been better if we brought a little more help?" Agent Venom whispered.
"Because in the battle below we need as many of the heroes from the Academy down there as possible. I need you two here for your respective skills and abilities. The others down there are to draw the battle in and cause as much havoc as possible." Spider-Man replied.
"Ok…got it." Agent Venom sighed.
(I really hope this plan works.)
Spider-Man motioned for them to follow. They continued to make their way through the tower, slowly yet surely bypassing every guard and making it to the makeshift holding cells within the building.
"You have it all ready, Cho? In case we meet our hellish host earlier than expected?" Spider-Man asked.
"It is. We just have to find the others and bring down the Goblins." Iron Spider answered.
"And the security system?" Spider-Man asked.
"Taken care of." Iron Spider answered.
"You make it sound SO simple." Agent Venom hissed.
"Hey, don't get mad at me because Spidey picked you to come along." Iron Spider grunted.
"Quiet guys. As much as I love talking, we can't let them detect us." Spider-Man hushed.
Iron Spider and Venom chuckled under their breaths.
(Really?)
"Come on." Spider-Man grunted.
The three continued to make their way through the building, avoiding guards…who were mostly asleep for some reason. They rushed through the building, making sure to avoid the eyes and ears of the Goblins throughout the building.
"Are you sure we're going the right way?" Venom asked as they stopped to briefly hide.
"Yes, I'm sure. I walked through these halls long enough." Spider-Man answered.
"Alright, just making sure." Venom replied.
Spider-Man nodded then led the group on. After several minutes they soon came near the cells.
"We're close guys. Keep an eye out for guards." Spider-Man said.
"Why haven't wee seen that many?" Agent Venom asked.
"Probably heading out to the battle. We've got more firepower targeting this place than last time." Iron Spider answered.
"Yeah…true." Agent Venom sighed.
"Alright guys, come on. We're getting there." Spider-Man said.
The trio continued to move closer and closer to where their friends are being held.
"Spider-Man, I've got several foes on my radar ahead of us. But there's a ventilation shaft a few feet before we could get to them." Iron Spider said, studying a hologram projecting from his wrist.
"I'm good with taking them on…but it's your call, Spidey." Agent Venom added.
"No…we can't be delayed. The sooner we're reunited and regrouped, the sooner we can take on the boss." Spider-Man grunted.
"Fair enough." Agent Venom replied.
The trio slowly made their way to the ventilation shaft. Spider-Man carefully took it off. Agent Venom and Iron Spider crawled into the space. Spider-Man crawled in then carefully placed the metal back over the space with carefully hidden webbing. They continue to crawl through the space.
"Damn, now I'm regretting wanting to do this." Agent Venom grumbled.
"You've always wanted to do this?" Iron Spider scoffed.
"Yeah…ever since I saw it in a spy movie." Agent Venom sighed.
"Wow." Iron Spider scoffed.
"Shut up. How much farther?" Agent Venom grumbled.
"Not much farther." Iron Spider answered.
"Good, the sooner we free the others the sooner I can shove my foot up Goblin ass." Agent Venom hissed.
(That's a lovely picture.)
"Shh, remember to stay quiet. Don't want anyone to find us." Spider-Man cautioned.
The other two nodded and continued to crawl through the vents. Iron Spider led the way as he tracked the placement Spider-Man had given him.
"Guys, we're just above where the cells are. I don't read any enemies on my radar except for two guards." Iron Spider whispered.
"Good, we'll knock them out then free our friends. Let's go." Spider-Man said.
The trio made their way out of the vent, carefully dropping down before the guards noticed them. The trio lunged at them from behind, sending a flurry of attacks. The guards were knocked out quickly.
"Alright, come on." Spider-Man whispered.
They hurried to the cells. The prisoners grunted as they were woken from an uneasy sleep. Spider-Man saw Ava's amulet on a shelf. He grabs it.
"Guys! Guys!" A familiar voice whispered.
White Tiger gasped as she got off the floor.
"Web Head? Is that you?" White Tiger gasped.
"Tiger! Where are you?!" Spider-Man called out.
"Here!" White Tiger grunted.
The others clamored as Iron Spider and Agent Venom went to their respective cells. Spider-Man moved in front of Tiger's cell, getting face to face with her.
"Spidey!" White Tiger gasped, relief thick within her voice.
"Tiger…a-are you ok? Are you hurt? I'm sorry I didn't come sooner." Spider-Man quickly stated.
"Yeah, I'm fine…I-" White Tiger grunted.
"I know, I know! I just need to tell you-" Spider-Man interjected.
"Spidey-" White Tiger sighed.
"No, let me talk. I know you've been angry and disappointed with how I've been doing things lately-" Spider-Man interjected, his voice thick with concern.
"Spidey!" White Tiger groaned.
"Let me finish! I'm gonna change! I'm gonna change because we're both heroes and I should commit to it just like you! And I…I should open this door, shouldn't I?" Spider-Man exclaimed yet not in an angry way.
"Yes. Get me outta here!" White Tiger sighed.
"Right! Right now, let me…uh…" Spider-Man nervously chuckled, trying to open the door yet it was locked from the outside as well.
"You've gotta be joking." White Tiger grumbled.
"Uh…heh heh...Ok…Alright, quickly! Move aside!" Spider-Man stated.
White Tiger moved to her left of the door. Spider-Man took a few steps back then let out a growl as he charged forward. The door smashed down with him falling with it then he rolled further into the room and hit the wall with a thud. White Tiger slightly grimaced when he made impact. She sees her amulet and grabs it, and places it back with her suit. She sighs in relief and chuckles, feeling the mystic energy empowering her once more. Spidey got onto his feet, his right hand clutching his left shoulder.
"Owww! Hohoo! There goes that shoulder!" Spider-Man cried out and whimpered in pain.
White Tiger approached him, smiling. Spider-Man turned to look at her, letting down his hand.
"If you ever change I'll kill you." White Tiger chuckled in hissing yet joking manner.
Spider-Man smiled. White Tiger then punches his right shoulder, which results in a cry in pain from Spidey as he clutches that shoulder with his left hand.
"There goes the other shoulder." Spider-Man groaned.
"Now let's get outta here." White Tiger states, grabbing his left arm.
Spider-Man's eyes widen in surprise and let out a mild cry as she pulls him out of the cell. The group, all of them with all their gear and equipment, rush away from the holding cells.
"Alright, let's get to Osborn's machine." Director Fury grunted.
"No, we gotta get outta here and come up with a new plan." Spider-Man grunted.
They turn a corner and run right into the Goblin King and a dozen or so of his minions around and behind him. The Goblin King's arms are crossed and he's grinning from ear to pointed ear.
"Oh, but none of you are going anywhere! HehahahaHAHAHAHA!" Goblin King cackled.
To be continued…
(I'm so sorry for the really late update everyone. I didn't mean for me to take this long to update. I hope with this Winter Break I'll be able to get back into the swing of things.)
