Chp. 23-Help
Connors was laying with his head back, a smile on his face as he was conversing with his wife and son. As he was talking to them, he glanced outside and saw Spider-Man hanging outside the window, his finger to the lips of the suit, sh shing the scientist. Connors nodded and looked at his wife.
"Martha, will you go get me something to drink please. And take Benjamin with you please. IT would do him some good to exercise. Thank you darling."
She smiled and took Benjamin and left the room. Connors then sat up and moved as close as he could to the window and cracked it so Spidey could get in. Spider-man stood there and Connors eyed him up and down.
"I'm sorry we got into so much of a tassel, Spid..."
"Save it Connors," Spider-man said quickly," I need your help.
Connors looked worried.
"Help with what?"
"Do you remember that black symbiote that Peter had given you to examine?"
Connors searched his thoughts and remembered it.
"Yes, I remember. What about it?"
"It escaped your lab during the accident and bonded with a serial murderer. He's out there terrorizing the city and he's going to hurt alot of innocent people."
Connors sat down, distraught.
"Spider-man, what do you expect me to do about it?"
Spider-man sat down next to him.
"It seems to be affected by loud noises. That's how I beat the previous one and that's how we gotta beat this one. I need some sort of weapon that will create a high enough frequency of sound to separate the two entities."
Connors held his hand to his chin and thought.
"It's possible to create an emitter that will do the job, but you would have to use it in isolation somewhere so no animals were affected by it. Wait a minute! I know where you can trap him and use the emitter! Quickly, let's get to the lab at Oscorp and I can get us something built!"
Spider-man smiled under his mask.
"Wait," Connors said. He disconnected himself from the machines he was on and left a note for Martha.
Martha Connors returned to find an empty hospital bed and no sign of her husband.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Connors and Spider-man were busy working on Sonic Emitter, piecing it together slowly. After about two hours, they were finished.
"Alright, Spider-man, this is how it will work. You must hit this button prior to use, so that the emitter is fully charged," Connors said, pointing to a solid green button on the back of it.
"Then you can hit this button here," he said pointing to a red one, "to open up the frequency and cast it out. Now if fully charged, the sound wave should continue on for no less than 2 minutes as long as you hold the button down. Hold it any longer and it will overload and be of no use to you. Let's hope that thing separates within two minutes."
Spider-man took the emitter, made a web strap and wrapped it around his body.
"Alright, now you said you knew somewhere I could isolate Carnage and use the wave free form. Where is it?"
Connors pulled a map of the subway transit systems. He searched his mind and found the spot.
"Here. When I was that thing, I found an open cistern here at the underneath Deerfield and Cawfield lanes. It's open and even has a small source of power. If you can get him down there, you'll be able to use the emitter without disturbance."
"Thank you again Dr. Connors. I now know why Peter looks up to you so much."
Connors smiled.
"Thank you for helping me Spider-man. Now you better get out there and stop this thing from boiling over. I'll find my own way home."
Spider-man nodded. With the emitter, he felt he could stop the symbiote once and for all.
He left the lab, webbing himself up through the sky light. As he left, Connors began coughing hard. He knelt down and held his chest with his hand. As he looked at it, a faint green color began to fill his skin pigment, only to dissolve away again.
"It isn't over yet," Connors said, breathing slowly.
Chp 24-Empire State Chase
(Symbiote theme plays, a deeper tone, giving it a sense of dread and doom)
"It's been over two hours since the attack began," the anchor said reporting live, "An unknown assailant has been attacking dozens of pedestrians, drivers, and even law enforcement, in an attempt it seems to...oh my god!"
The anchor is cut off as Carnage pounces down on her, hammering her into the ground. He picks up the mic and looks into the camera.
"Anarchy! Anarchy," he roars, as his free hand forms a long blade and he drives it through the camera.
Cars are destroyed. Several people are lying motionless in the street. The bitter cold fills the afternoon sky as the sun bears down on the many people running from the symbiote attacker. Carnage keeps leaping through the air, his symbiote skin forming tendrils that latched onto the buildings, allowing him to swing at his prey. Laughing as loud and maniacal as he could, he dropped down on another person and brought his axe down on him. Just before the blade met flesh, a glob of webbing held the axe to the wall. He looked up and snarled. Spider-man stood on top of a building looking down at him. Carnage roars, ripping his hand free of the webbing.
"I told you," he roared maniacally," Now you must suffer!!!!!"
Carnage then jumped into the air and swung towards the Empire State Building, Spider-man jumping off the building and following him. Carnage swung quickly through the streets, moving ahead of Spider-man. Spider-man fired some web blasts as he swung, making it harder for Carnage to swing as he dodged. Other pedestrians looked into the air as the two combatants swung through downtown. Carnage threw himself off the tendril line, turned in mid air and fired 3 blades off of his suit, then turned and continued swinging towards the Empire State. Spider-man's eyes went wide as he spun to try and dodge. Two of the blades slid by him, cutting into his suit, causing him to yell in pain. He continued on, when he noticed Carnage already climbing the building. Spider-man began making larger swings, picking up speed, trying to catch the symbiote as he sprung up the building.
(Spider-man theme begins playing, with bits of the symbiote theme playing as well, the two of them trying to overpower one another)
Finally landing on the side of the building, Spider-man began to zip up the building, shortening the gap between them. Carnage hung from the side and looked down to see Spidey closing the gap. He growled and let go of the building. His body dropped quickly through the air. Spider-man's eyes went wide as Carnage crashed his body into Spidey, causing Spider-man to bend off the building, perform a 180, and smash his back into the windows. Carnage then proceeded to punch at Spider-man's face. One hit, two hits, three hits, and another, his fist punching into Spider-man's face.
"That's it Parker! Take it all," Carnage said laughing.
Spider-man the knocked his fist away and countered with both feet, pulling both of themselves off the building and rolling down it. Glass cracked as the weight of the two fighters fighting one another, giving hit after hit, until the rolled through some glass and into the actual building. Spider-man kicked Carnage off of him and through a wall. He stood up, his outfit slightly torn in parts from the glass and clawing of Carnage. Taking advantage of Carnage being down, Spider-man jumped out of the broken window, fired a line onto the building and swung up high, letting off the line and zipping up the building once again. As he neared the top, Carnage broke through a window and hammered into Spider-man, knocking him away, before he began to swing up the building with the tendrils. Spider-man recovered and fired a line to the building and swung up, following Carnage to the top. As he finally reached the peak of the building, Carnage was standing there, his face receded, holding a formed blade to Aunt May's throat. He smiled evilly. She was whimpering, but not crying, fear in her eyes.
"I told you Parker! Don't you know how to follow a simple request?"
May looked at Spider-man, who stood there quietly, shock on her face as she didn't know what Cassidy meant.
"Let her go!"
Cassidy laughed. He held the blade closer to her throat. She continued whimpering.
"I tell you what, Parker. I will give you one more shot. Take off the mask and I'll let her go," he said slyly. May looked even more frightened. Spider-man shook his head and stood there in silence.
"Alright, you had your chance, now she's..."
"Wait!"
Cassidy grinned as Spider-man slowly began to take his mask off, revealing himself to be Peter Parker. May gasped when she saw him.
"Pet...Peter," she said gasping.
