Chapter 9
"Is that really the best you can do?" Spider-Man leaped to his feet as the Red Goblin charged him with his glider, nimbly dodging it, he shot a web onto his back and thrust him off of his glider, landing him in the concrete. "Oof, that's gotta hurt" Spidey made the gesture of looking away from the Goblin of pain, "I'll get you for that" The Goblin growled as he tossed two pumpkin bombs at Spidey, "if you can catch me" Spider-Man quipped, "joke now, Webhead, for it will be the last time you smile" the Red Goblin called for his glider and leaped on it, "how do you mean, Gobby?" Spider-Man asked, "within 2 minutes, your precious Minneapolis will go up in flames, my bomb planted on Oscorp will see to it" "what!? Bomb!?" Spidey considered the odds of this while dodging more pumpkin bombs, "the whole bomb thing is exactly what killed the OG Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, he's trying to recreate this scenario, and prove something" Spider-Man finally webbed himself onto the glider and head butted the Red Goblin, "argh!" The Goblin growled fiercely as Spidey kicked him off his glider and directed it towards the city, "I'm not going to die, not like the first Spider-Man, but I will save Minneapolis" Spider-Man was determined. Just then he looked back to see the Red Goblin was holding on by a grapple hook, "your going to come down with me!" The Goblin was going to short out the engine! Spidey wouldn't let that happen, "keep telling yourself that" Spidey retorted as he kicked him in the face, as soon as he was within the city, he used two individual buildings to slingshot himself off the glider and towards Oscorp. "So long, Gobby!" Spider-Man joked as he started shooting more weblines in the direction of Oscorp, swinging from rooftop to rooftop. "Finally!" Spider-Man finally leaped onto the Oscorp roof and was prepared to disarm the bomb when the Red Goblin tried to chrage him with his glider, consider the fact that the Goblin was still hanging on via grapple hook, "time to die!" The Goblin screamed as Spider-Man's spider-sense went crazy in the head, telling him to dodge. He did so as the glider impaled the bomb and sent it flying into the sky, "nooo!" The Goblin started screaming in terror "he's in the blast radius, it'll kill him!" Spider-Man found two vantage points to swing up to, "I won't let him die" Spider-Man thought through gritted teeth, but he was too late. Just as he was about to reach the Red Goblin, the bomb hit zero and exploded, "no!" Spidey was almost blasted off the roof, using his adhesive properties to keep him attached, "Elijah! You okay?" Spidey heard Luke's voice come onto the headset, "well you took your time" Spidey joked slightly as he laid himself against the wall, despite not being seriously wounded, he felt exhausted, "I did it, I fought my first super villain" Spidey pointed out to Luke, "well, I hope you feel statisfied" Luke replied, "not even close, I couldn't save him from his own bomb, however he was, he's dead" Spider-Man sighed in utter defeat, "welp, you better get back here, before everyone starts to worry" Luke broke the silence, Spidey mustered the strength to get up and shot a web in the direction of his school, just as the fire department arrived, "perfect timing, man you really are becoming a good Spider-Man, aren't you, Elijah?" Spidey thought to himself in approval as he swung off into the distance.
