Chp. 17-Teacher v.s. Student
( Doc Ock Fight Theme Plays ) Spider-Man launched up from the desks and landed next to Connors and grabbed hold of him.
"Doc. Don't do this, We can get you help..."
Dr. Connors broke from the hold and grabbed Spider-man by the neck, holding him up with his scaly hand.
"I don't need help!!!!! And if you continue to interfere, my dear Ssssssssspider-man, I'll kill you!!"
He hurled Spidey into the desks again, ironically the same spot.
"Hey, I think I have been here before," he said as he got up.
Spider-Man fired a web line from both hands that began to wrap around the Lizard formerly known as Connors. Connors growled as the webbing continued wrapping around him, the ripped it free off of him and grabbed one of the lines Peter was firing and yanked him forward. Spider-Man landed on his stomach in front of Connors and quickly rolled out of the way as he brought a clawed foot down onto the ground.Peter sat in a crouched position as Dr. Connors roared and charged. Peter fell backwards onto his back and then, using his hands, propelled himself forward and slammed his feet in torpedo fashion into the body of the Lizard. The former Dr. hit the wall, cracking it.
"I'm going to tear you apart Sssssssspider-man," he roared as he charged our hero.
Spider-man webbed the nearest desk and threw it at Connors. It hit the Lizard square in the head, but did not stop the charge. Connors grabbed Spider-man and both of them went through the classroom door and wall and into the hallway. Lizard then head butted Peter and smashed an open palm into his right temple, making him tumble down the hall, before getting back up. A crowd of students left the rooms and watched down the all as Spider-man and Connors locked grasps with each other.
"Come on Doc, eerr, let's get you some, errrrr, help!"
"I told you, I don't need help," Connors said with a roar as he overpowered Spider-man and pinned him to the floor.Then his head snapped back and lunged at Peter, attempting to bite his head with his jaws. Peter grabbed the open maw as Connors tried to get at his head, his hot breath engrossing Peter. Connors grabbed Spidey's arms and started to move them away from his mouth. Spider-man grunted as he used all his strength to hold on. He slowly maneuvered his legs in front of Connor's and kicked up into his belly, knocking him off of himself. Spider-man then rolled backwards and stood up. He fired a web line right into Connors' eyes, blinding him for a moment. Then Spider-man then rushed at him, throwing his entire body against Connors' dropping him down onto his back. Spider-man then pinned Connors' arms down with his legs.
"Alright Doc, do you give up now?"
The Lizard growled as his tail rose out from under him and wrapped itself around Spidey's neck and lobbed him off and out two double doors in the hallway. Spider-man landed hard and rolled on the concrete outside. The cold air bit through his suit and chilled his skin. He stood up and shook his head and turned only to see the flying image of a man reptile hurling through the air towards him. Connors went at lightning speed, bounding towards him. Spider-man leap frogged over him, kicking him in the back of the head and narrowly missing his tail. Lizard turned and roared at him.
"I will kill you Sssssssspider-man!!!!!"
He lunged at Spider-man who began dodging Connors' clawed swipes and tail swings. As Spidey was dodging, he realized Connors' attacks were beginning to move slower. Then as he did a downward swipe, Peter took advantage and nailed the Lizard in the left side of his face with a hay maker, knocking the great reptile backwards. Connor's looked at Peter, breathing somewhat heavy. Spider-man was breathing heavy too, both of their breaths showing due to the cold. Then it hit him. Connors is cold blooded now. The cold was beginning to take effect on the beast and cause him to move slower. Sirens could be heard coming towards them in the distance.
"It's over Dr. Just let us and the police help you!"
Connors sneered, looked towards where the sirens were coming from, then started off down the steps of the university, running at full speed. Peter ran after him, following his movements. The Lizard then jumped into the middle of the road. As the cars stopped and honked at him, he ripped the manhole cover from the road and hurled it at Spider-man, who was instantly knocked over. He then laughed and jumped down the hole and disappeared from sight. Spider-man staggered up. Dr. Connors was gone, only a hole where he escaped was left. He looked back at the university and saw police there. Then the sound of sirens in the opposite direction, caught hold of him. He sighed and lept into the air, firing a web line and swinging off towards it, an ominous feeling hitting him in the gut.
Chp. 18-Omens
Spider-man swung through the air with incredible ease as he followed the sound of the sirens. He landed on a ledge right above a group of police vehicles, looking to them and listening for what had happened. Apparently all the commotion was due to something in an alleyway.
"5 victims total," an officer with gloves on said as he got up from behind the dumpster of the alley way, "All of them terribly mutilated sir. I've never seen anything like it."
The other cop nodded and began filling out a report while forensics on scene were taking photos of the crime. As the flash of the camera was going, one of the cops noticed something along the alley wall. Spider-man silently lept to the other side of the alley so he could see what was there. Upon the wall, above the mangled bodies of the victims written in blood, was the phrase "Carnage Rules". Thunder clapped overhead as Peter's eyes went wide.
Images of Carnage flooded his mind. The symbiote covered villain above him, mocking, hammering his head to the ground, laughing and giggling maniacally. Thunder clapped overhead once more as Spider-man entered the window of his home, sliding the mask off and sitting on the bed, the image of the murder still fresh in his mind. Carnage's laugh could still be heard even as he closed his eyes, trying to block it out. The laugh became louder, hammering into his skull as he started to thrash around on his bed. His breathing picked up and goosebumps and sweat formed on his body. The laughing grew louder, until it boomed ominously throughout his mind and then finally ceased. His breathing slowed and before he realized it, he had drifted off into slumber.
( Sad Spidey Theme )
"Peter," a voice echoed, calm and cool. "Peter? Are you awake," the voice echoed.
Peter slowly opened his eyes and found himself in the familiar surroundings of a car. The area around the vehicle was white and looking to his left, good ol Uncle Ben sat there smiling.
"Hey there kiddo, I thought you were sick."
"Uncle Ben," Peter said softly, giving the elderly man a hug.
"How've you been kiddo," Uncle Ben asked. Peter shook his head.
"Things are going pretty bad right now. My teacher has become a monster, I have pushed Mary Jane away from me, and now that symbiote thing is back with a new host and he's even more deranged than Brock was." Uncle Ben sighed.
"Peter, you can't let this overwhelm you. You're stronger than this kiddo. You can do it. I believe in you. That's why you and I talk to one another. I'm here for you Peter. Aunt May is there for you. Mary Jae is there for you. We all believe in you Peter." Peter sighed.
"Mary Jane? She doesn't even agree with this choice anymore. Once she accepted it, but now it's too much for even her. Uncle Ben, keeping the balance of this life is so hard. I ruin the relationships I have with my friends, I've seen my family and others hurt and it is just so much to bear Uncle Ben. I even tried to give it all up and it still burdened me with the lives of others! I don't know what to do anymore!" A tear rolled down his cheek as Ben put a hand on his shoulder.
"Peter, I understand that this burden is heavy on your shoulder's, my boy. But you're doing it for a greater cause and that's why you keep doing it. You're Spider-man Peter and nobody can change the fact that you are a hero and a caring individual. You are him and he is you. You are one with one another and nobody can take that away, no one. And with each challenge you face, you have to become that much stronger, that much more prepared, and remember that brawn isn't the only way to solve problems. A hero knows when to use his head, not his fist."
Peter gave a smile and hugged the older man once more.
"Thank you Uncle Ben. Thank you so much for being there."
Ben smiled warmly, and reached his hand out.
"Take my hand...son."
Peter stretched his hand out. As they were about to shake, the top of the car exploded off and Peter was propelled out of the seat and hanging off the trunk. ( Symbiote Theme Plays ) He was in his torn Spider-man attire from the fight with Eddie. He climbed up onto and there, standing on the hood of the car was Carnage. The symbiote face pulled backwards and revealed Eddie.
"Hey Parker," he said showing his sharpened teeth.
"My God, Eddie!"
"Oooo, my spider sense is tingling," he said as the symbiote pulled Ben from the car with a tendril, "If you know what I'm talking about!"
As Spider-man charged, Eddie back handed him off and into the white void. He landed on something hard and couldn't move. Eddie dropped onto him, his knees driving into Peter's gut. Then he tore the mask off of him.
"Hi again, Parker," he said grinning.
Peter's eyes were filled with anger mixed with shock at Eddie's return.
"Face it Parker, you've lost this one. I may not of taken you out for all you did to me, but sure enough, revenge is still ours."
He smiled again as the symbiote enveloped his head once more. Then he punched Peter in the face 3 times, making his lip bleed.
"Never wound what you can't kill Parker!," the terrifying double voice of Carnage boomed, hitting him again, "Remember that piece of advice!"
He hit him again and the slashed across his face with a sharp claw.
"And now," the double voice said, pulling back and revealing Cassidy, "I'm going to kill you nice and slow. Say good bye Parker!"
Then, as Carnage formed a large axe in his hand and brought it down, a bell rang loudly. Carnage reared up and roared, his hand reforming. Peter looked to his left and saw Mary Jane ringing a large cathedral bell. Carnage roared and then dissipated into the white void. He turned to Mary Jane who smiled at him, a ray of light showing above her red headed form. Peter smiled at her, but it soon faded as Dr. Connors appeared behind her. He grabbed her by the waist and held her up, looking as if he was going to bite her. Peter struggled to get up, but couldn't. As he watched her screaming for him, he saw a little syringe appear before him. Then Ben's voice appeared from the nothingness.
"We believe in you, Peter"
Peter grabbed the syringe and hurled it at Dr. Connors, nailing him right in the side. Connors roared and slowly went back to his human form and crouched down on his good hand. He looked at Peter and smiled as he dissipated. Peter sighed and suddenly the whole world around him and went black. Peter found himself in the darkness once more. He looked around, turning constantly in a circle, looking for any sign of light. Then without warning light enveloped him and he fell backwards into it's light.
He awoke to the sound of thunder once more, the rain still coming down heavy. Sweat poured from him. He looked outside and saw glimpses of lightning. He slowed his breathing and then laid back down. Uneasily, he drifted back off into a dreamless sleep.
"Yes! We rule," the double voice said as Carnage broke through the boarded up window of the warehouse and landed crouched on the ground. He looked around and growled. Then the head receded and he looked around.
"Not bad at all," he spoke normally, talking to himself. "You've given me a whole new reason for living. I think I'll keep you."
His eyes began to wander and a creepy smile came across his face. He giggled a little and laughed as he listened to the voice of the symbiote in his head.
"Oh yes. Ooo! I like that idea very much. Yes, it's wonderful you know all this. Uh huh. Uh huh, ooo goody! Hahahahahaha! Oh yes perfect!"
He danced around crazily for a moment, laughing.
"I love this power so much! You're never leaving me. We've bonded on a level not even your other had! We are now the same blood," he yelled as he slit the symbiote at the wrist, a portion of it splattering on the ground and reforming on his wrist. He then dipped his finger into it and began writing on the floor. He whistled as he did. When he got up, he smiled.
"So pretty," he said giggling. On the ground, in his own bloody symbiote, it read "Carnage Rules".
