Spider-Man
When Worlds Collide
Chapter 5
"Ha ha ha ha!" The Hobgoblin cried as he made his way towards the streets.
He needed to be in the air if he was going to get the chance knock Spider-Man 2099. He bolted upwards towards a street drain cover and blasted it open with one of his missiles. The cover was catapulted into the air so fast that it smashed into pieces when returned to the ground, scaring the people who were nearby. They all screamed and ran for their lives as Hobgoblin emerged from the ground.
The screams were so loud, that they could be heard from below. Back in the tunnels, Miguel had begun to give up the search when he heard the panicking public above him.
"And now he's up there." He moaned to himself. "This guy sure is picky on where to fight me? Oh well I can't blame him, it so dark here that I'm beginning to forget what natural light looks like."
He instantly located the exit, fired two web lines and slingshot his up through the hole. As shot up like a speeding bullet, he saw the Hobgoblin, up ahead, waiting for him. Firing more web lines, Miguel pulled himself out from the accent and swung onto a near by building. The Hobgoblin flew over to him and began to continue the game.
"I'll tell you something." Miguel quipped as he tried to get his breath back. "You can make a work out video out of this?"
"Enough you snivelling fool." Hobgoblin replied. "I'm going to finish you off up here infront of everyone!"
"I agree to that." Miguel replied. "Enough of this Tom and Jerry shit."
Suddenly, two cannons appeared from underneath the Hobgoblin's glider. They fired multiple missiles that exploded on the building, all around Miguel. The building was now a blaze and Miguel had to get off the building before the flames would burn him to death. Using all of his strength and agility, Miguel leaped off the building and flew out towards the glider.
The Hobgoblin began to take off again, but he did not intent to loose the future wall crawler. He waited for him to catch up by flying at a slow speed. Miguel shot a web line, which attached itself to the back of the glider.
"Hold on tight!" Hobgoblin chucked as Miguel appeared through the glider's fumes. "It's going to be a bumpy ride aboard the Hobgoblin express."
"You know what? You should patent that?" Miguel said.
Suddenly, the glider's thrusters ignited and the Hobgoblin began to pick up speed. Minuets ticked by and the glider was travelling so fast that the buildings, vehicles and streets were just blurs. Miguel was clinging onto his web line for dear life, knowing that it would disintegrate within the hour. The Hobgoblin knew that and decided to try to speed up the process. He lent back, sending the glider upwards into the clouds at an alarming speed.
"Let's go up for a bit of fresh air?" he chuckled, looking down at Miguel.
"I've got to crawl up and reach for the master control circuit box." Miguel thought to himself, as he slowly climbed upwards on the fast disintegrating strand of webbing. "I've to work fast those otherwise I'll get raped by frost particles and I know what that means."
The circuit box was easy to locate, as it was situated under the belly of the glider. It wasn't as fully armoured as the rest of the glider, which meant that it could be easily punched through or ripped apart. Miguel had to take the chance as they both had passed through a second layer of cloud. He struggled to battle the muscle – squashing G force as he reached the box. Slowly clenching his fist, Miguel made his move.
"Here goes."
His threw his fist through the circuit box with success and pulled out a huge bunch of multi- coloured cables. He ripped them out all at once and through them away. Sparks and smoke erupted from the glider. They then both realised that they had began to slow down. They then both began to fall back down at an even faster speed that before.
"You fool!" Hobgoblin cried. "We're going to die now!"
"Oh yeah!" Miguel replied, as he moved into a diving position. "Well I have other ideas."
He dived onto Hobgoblins back and began to punch his assailant in the back of the head. The Hobgoblin became dizzy and began to pass out from Miguel's repeated jabs. The city skyline came into view below them, as they hurtled towards the vast mass of the city below them.
"Well Hobby's out cold." Miguel thought. "So I'm going to have to use him as bouncy cushion!"
Miguel spun two webs in the air, which formed a parachute, and the two men began to pull out of the dive. Miguel wrapped his legs tightly around the Hobgoblin, keeping him steady and trying not to drop him.
As the two got closer and closer to the streets, Miguel realised that the police were below, waiting for them to land. They were fully protected with armour and they were armed with advanced laser rifles. The vast number of squad car sirens, lit up the streets, acting as landing beacon.
"You're in real trouble this time, Spider-Man!" the police chief said.
"Fine, you take him?" Miguel replied as he dropped the Hobgoblin, sending him crashing on top of the police. "Goodbye fellow douche bags."
The police fired a huge spread of lasers as Miguel swung away to the safety of the rooftops. Within a couple of seconds, he was gone and police ceased the firing.
