Chapter 2: New Allies, New Enemies Part 1
"Finally, I'm in Japan. SHIELD could've at least given me some kind of entertainment as I wait. Not even a ball, cup, or string!" Peter complained to himself as he walked through the hallways of his apartment building. He had arrived at his apartment building in Japan. The travel between America and Japan was only at least six hours since a SHIELD Quinjet was faster than a regular commercial plane, but it felt like a day had passed. Peter didn't have much to do during his travel. There was no type of entertainment whatsoever. No movies or music, not even . He could hear the wind from the outside and frequently, a beeping sound every 10 minutes. The size of the jet from the outside was almost the size of a stunt plane which was small. But the space inside felt like he was a fighter pilot in war. Peter couldn't spread out his legs or arms or put up his feet. However, he could put his hands behind his head, but that's all he could really do in during the flight, other than sleeping which Peter mostly did. But once he arrived, he was just happy to finally stretch out his legs and arms. The SHIELD Quinjet flew back to the SHIELD Helicarrier. Peter walked towards the edge of the rooftop and looked down. The building was no doubt, tall, probably at least 16 floors, maybe even more. He entered inside the building by the vents. Peter was careful not to enter someone's room, but rather the hallways.
Walking through the hallways, Peter tried to find his room. The number was room 835, which was on floor 8 of the building. And people would think it was easy to find your room in your apartment building. But when everything was in Japanese symbols, it was more than difficult for Peter, it was almost impossible without any help. He had a swipe card he retrieved from the lobby, to unlock his room. And since Peter couldn't understand or read Japanese, he had to do trial-and-error. Before Peter left, he came up with an excuse for leaving New York. His excuse was he was part of the Student Exchange Program at his school and a school in Japan chose him to be at their place of learning and he accepted it. At first, Peter thought it wouldn't work, but as it turned out, when he explained it to his Aunt May, she actually believed it. She immediately helped him pack his clothes and valuables. Aunt May told him to have a great time in Japan and be safe before he left. Peter didn't have enough time to say goodbye to his friends in person, so he contacted them by cell phone. However, he could only talk to his best friend, Harry Osborn, due to the limited time he had. Either SHIELD wanted him leaving to Japan immediately because the situation was dire or something else. Either way, Peter didn't care. If he needed to go to Japan, then he needed to go to Japan, no questions asked from him.
Peter found his apartment room, but in a different way other than swiping his scan card to random doors. People who lived in the rooms complained about him swiping his card on their door locks. One of them even started smacking Peter with a broom until he closed the person's door. So, that strategy went out the window. He figured if he started from the first door on the second floor and counted each door until he reached the number 35, he'd find his room. His strategy ended up accomplishing his desired goal. Swiping his access card to the door lock, he gained access to his room and entered inside with his two bags. His room was actually great, something he almost couldn't afford. Peter was glad SHIELD was paying for his rent, but the pay was under his name so they won't be compromised as a espionage and intelligence agency. The room was quite spacious and had what you'd would expect from almost any apartment room. There was no fancy interior designs. The walls were no other color than white. The kitchen was similar to his kitchen in his house back at Forest Hills, Queens. There was no bedroom. His closet, which wasn't the sliding door he was used to, but was the one he saw in Narnia, was right next to his bed. His bed was placed at a corner of his room, near the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, like the kitchen, it wasn't fancy like you'd expect from almost any apartment room. It was just a regular bathroom, no luxurious toilet paper or marble sinks or tubs, although, Peter would very much enjoy that. But sadly, SHIELD didn't provide him such luxury. The television wasn't no flat-screen. One of those TVs with the giant 'thing' on the back. Good thing was he was provided with Comcast. And the TV was conveniently placed near his bed. The best part about his apartment room was it had a balcony. Now, Peter has a great view of Tokyo and a way to get out of his apartment whenever he changed into Spider-Man.
Placing his bags onto his bed, he unzipped them open. His first bag had mostly spare clothing inside and there was a lot of clothes. It was just enough to fill up a large drawer. Peter was just surprised he and Aunt May found a way to put all of those clothes into the bag. But the bag wasn't all clothes. It had his toothbrush and a pack of toothpaste…somewhere inside. He shrugged, thinking it was buried under the amount of clothes. Peter motioned his hands to his last bag. It had a lock that could only be unlocked by a combination. He had to keep this specific bag so secure because it had his SHIELD gadgets he's been provided with his mission in Japan. The monsters Fury showed on the holographic screen, were supposed to be difficult to defeat from what Fury informed. With that being said, he provided Spider-Man new SHIELD devices such as a SHIELD version of Spider-Man's web-shooters and, to communicate with other people, a ear-fitting mic. But it was no ordinary one. The way it worked was, if Peter said something, it would come out in Japanese, but if someone said something to him, it would come out in English. Essentially, it should work with any language if the said language was loaded into the mic. It will be a useful device when he make friends here, insult the local criminals gangs as Spider-Man, or when he needed to ask directions for the nearest bathroom in the very near future. The last item inside was more important than anything else inside this one bag, that was his traditional red and blue Spider-Man costume. Well, it was his only costume unless he counted a Fantastic Four outfit with a paper bag on his head as a costume which he avoided as much as possible after his first time using it, the red and blue was his only one.
After an hour of unpacking, Peter felt like he could explore the city. But he wasn't going to walk around on foot, but rather 'Spidey-style.' Once that thought came to mind, he immediately stopped what he was doing and changed into Spider-Man. He mounted his new SHIELD web-shooters onto his wrists, already pre-filled with web fluid. What makes his new web-shooters so special was it had different types of webbing, not just the regular webbing. But to Peter's demise, there was only three types. He hoped there would be more, forming a little frown on his face. But it was better than nothing. There's electric webbing that electrifies the enemy. There was also flash webbing which acts like a flash grenade but it flashes on contact. And lastly a type of webbing Peter would never thought of, ionic webbing which brittles armor and metals. It would come in handy to use that type of webbing if his foe had strong armor that his spider strength couldn't penetrate. The SHIELD web-shooters also have an increase in range than his old ones. For more accuracy, SHIELD added in a holographic sight. They added another tweak to the web shooters and it will come very handy when fighting against the heavy-hitters. It's called Seismic Blast. SHIELD kinda copied it off Herman Schultz's ability, or as he liked to call himself when he stole that kind of equipment from Oscorp, Shocker. This ability was able to stun heavy-hitters, giving Spider-Man time to lay some hits, but it was able to potentially put average thugs unconscious. But he'd rather not do that. It would be too easy. Plus, there's a charge time when he could use that ability again. So, he'd also not waste it on normal thugs. Since the web-shooters were chunky and big, it wouldn't fit inside the costume's sleeve and it would be too distracting if it was mounted on the costume's sleeve. So, to fix that, SHIELD installed a camouflage mode so others won't see it. All of those abilities made Spider-Man very happy to own such a device, made it all worth having. He opened the glass doors to his balcony. Spider-Man looked around to make sure no one was watching before he jumped off his balcony and started web slinging through the city.
Like Manhattan, Tokyo was full of activity and you'll find it right around every corner. Everyone seemed so happy and enjoying their life to the fullest, you know, when they're not being attacked by monsters which is almost like everyday. That's what 'activity' meant. The activity in Tokyo could be enjoyable and fun such as concerts and festivals. But then there's comes the monsters to ruin everyone's day. When these creatures roam around either in the day or night, they cause more than destruction of property or harming of innocents. They could, you know, suck your soul out or steal something in their bodies that wasn't discovered by scientists like pure heart crystals for instance. However, those kind of acts never brought the people of Tokyo down when the Sailor Soldiers were around to stop them. With them around, the people felt safe and in peace with almost no bother. This was something Usagi Tsukino, Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, and Minako Aino, or by their sailor names, Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus, were proud of. These five girls were doing something right and that was a big team effort accomplishment.
The five girls, out of uniform, chatted as they walked to their desired destination, and that destination was the mall. Mamoru Chiba, or known as Tuxedo Mask, who was following the girls from behind, lost a bet against them. And the punishment for losing the bet was serving the five girls for the day. That meant, buying everything that their heart desired. Mamoru didn't like this but if he didn't serve them, then their trust might be justified. However, the Sailors will be a tad upset but they'll forgive him for this. Besides, they knew Mamoru wasn't fond of the punishment given, so they wouldn't have Mamoru do the punishment. It was his choice of he wanted to, however. Mamoru decided to serve them for the day with the money coming out of his wallet. It was something he promised to do if he lost the bet. A promise was a promise. The five sailors smiled and squealed with glee as he said so to them. But nevertheless, they wouldn't purchase an absurd amount of items.
On their way to the mall, a bank robbery was taken place and it was near their current location. In fact, the bank was just across the street. Obviously, it was an armed bank robbery. Everyone who were in vehicles immediately abandoned them and ran for their lives. Everyone in the area was screaming in panic as bullets fired out from the bank inside and out, shooting directly at the police officers taking cover behind their parked police cruisers. The abandoned vehicles on the street exploded and the fire of the destroyed vehicles was blazing. Some police officers were shot by the armed robbers inside and were immediately give medical attention, even the innocent civilians caught in the crossfire was hit and given the same treatment by the paramedics that arrived at the scene of the crime. The five girls were completely scared, especially Usagi. Mamoru tried to act calm and directed the girls to inside the nearest building where they could be safe from the carnage taken place outside. A news helicopter just arrived at the scene. The news reporter, Whitney Chang, reported everything that was taking place obviously in Japanese while the cameraman recorded everything live on television.
"We have just arrived at the scene of the crime. The battle down there is in full swing! The police are fighting against the armed robbers inside the bank and it looks like its not going well. Some police officers are currently wounded by the robbers. It seems like the bank robbers are even brave enough to exit out of the bank and take on the police outside, hiding behind the marble pillars. Who will win this battle? So far, it seems that the armed thugs are winning. Is there anyone who could help out our fellow police officers? Any hope that can stop these menacing robbers…wait—who's that in the sky?"
A red and blue figure appeared in the sky, grabbing a hold of a white rope as he swung from block to block. Practically everyone saw this man as he swung closer to the robbery, performing some stunts and tricks. Everyone was caught off-guard and all action froze as they watched this man. All of the civilians and the police were in awe, seeing him swinging through Tokyo. The robbers were completely surprised and confused. The red and blue figure released his grip on the white rope as he fell to what seemed his inevitable death. Everyone in the area, even the thugs, gasped. The mysterious man dived with his face pointing straight down. His arms spread out and legs stuck together, making the man form into a cross-formation. He impacted the ground. But what seemed to be his death turned out to be his deserved wonderment from the people. Everyone, including the police, robbers, and the five girls and Mamoru, were completely surprised. He landed on the ground with no physical pain or any blood visible. It was utterly mouth-gaping.
The figure dawned a red and blue costume. A big black spider with its four bottom legs extending down, was placed on the center of his chest. A spider insignia was visible on his back but it wasn't black, rather red and a little bigger than the front spider logo. His mask lenses was white and no one could see through it. Because of that, he couldn't show any emotion. The only way he could do so was through his tone of his voice. The red sections of his costume had black lines spreading across his costume, starting from the centre of his mask. Muscles and lower abdomens were visible because of the tight costume. From the looks of it, this man seemed to be physically strong. And from his stunts and parkour, he also looked to be agile.
The mysterious figure turned his head towards the robbers. He crossed his arms and had an almost straight posture. He looked at the robbers.
"Hey fellas! So I'm here to make a transaction. Where does the line start?" He asked as he made hand gestures such as waving and pointing, sounding very joyful. The thugs were confused by his question. All of them had a puzzled look on their face, as well as, the police and the civilians.
One of the thugs replied to his question, "This is a bank robbery! There is no line!"
The figure sighed in disappointment, "The typical bank robber. It's probably because every thug and crook in the world is dim-witted as I thought they were, including you fellows! I mean, come on! Robbing the bank is so 1950s! The police would expect this kind of thing. All of this yells out: 'Hey! I want to be put in jail!' when you rob a bank without a 100% guaranteed plan. Anyway, get in a single file line and prepare for your beatdowns! I'll even give you all lollipops when its all over. Come on, lollipoooooops!" The figure taunted the thugs. The robbers discovered a new-found hatred for this man, insulting them like that. The robbers growled in anger.
"Grr, shoot this asshole!" One of the robbers roared.
The four robbers immediately shot their AK47s at the red and blue figure. He flipped, ducked, and dived out of the way of the bullets to ensure his safety, but he also ensured the safety of those around him by moving them away from the crossfire. He even told civilians to somewhere safe, sounding more serious than he was a couple of minutes ago but still had the time to say a few jokes here and there. People assumed he could care less about he was about to do to the robbers. But when civilians get in the way, he became slightly more serious as if he really cared for their safety. After all of the civilians were in a safe location, he shifted back to his cheery and witty attitude.
"I wonder no thug told me this: Curse you! I'll get you for this!" The red and blue man laughed at his last sentence, imagining if one thug would say that. He jumped on the walls of a building across the street from the bank and ran in a certain direction, avoiding the bullets being shot. The man put force with legs onto the wall to jump off and advance straight towards the robbers as he performed flips and twirls in midair to steer clear of the firing bullets. The red and blue figure tackled one of the robbers down. He shot white rope out of his wrists and wrapped the injured robber in a web cocoon, leaving him immobilized and easily defeated with no trouble at all.
"Did that hurt? Oh wait! I don't care." The man insulted the unconscious bad guy.
"Shit! Kuro is down!" A criminal stated, shouting to his two other allies.
There were only three left. The red and blue figure shot white balls from their wrists, aiming at the thugs' eyes.
"A little web here! A little web there!" The spider-like man joked. The sticky ball impacted their faces, rendering them blind.
"Gah! What is this stuff?!" One of the thugs panicked and was engrossed by the sticky substance the red and blue figure called, web. They had trouble ripping off the webbing on their eyes. It appeared to be really durable and tough. The figure ran towards them. He pulled back his arm and punched the nearest thug in the face. He kept delivering punches. After left punch and right punch, the thug almost lost balance. To finish him, the figure jumped and sent a straight left kick to his head, rendering him unconscious. The thug in front of him, couldn't see but heard his ally scream in pain, signaling that he was defeated in battle by the mysterious spider-like man. The thug blindly shifted his hands towards his assault rifle. He had a tight grip onto the gun and shot it blind. The spider-like man jumped towards the thug as he twirled around to dodge the bullets. He used the thug's head to jump off it and landed behind the second remaining thug. The man shot two white ropes at the thug he bounced off of and pulled him to the thug in front of the spider-like man. The two thugs were stacked on top of each other with the red and blue figure tying them up with the white sticky ropes. He looked at the work he had done. The thugs were subdued and tied up.
"You know, I learned a very valuable lesson today! Beating up bad guys is fun!" He cracked a joke, sounding cheerful than ever. Looking around to be sure, there was no other bad guys that he could see in his peripheral vision. He sighed in relief that it was all over. Or so he thought it was. A muscle car drove out of the bank through the back alley. It got on the road and tried to escape, speeding past cars. It's most likely they have stacks of gold bars in their trunk. The spider-like man shot a white rope at a building and swung off to catch the speeding car. The police were still in awe that this man beat down the crooks and was left unharmed. They brushed off their feeling and immediately followed him in their police cruisers. The news helicopter flew away from the scene to follow the spider-like hero and the police to chase down the crooks. All civilians and the Sailors and Mamoru watched as they witnessed everything in awe.
The thugs inside the stolen muscle car, started panicking. Their lips twitched; their throats gulped in fear; they heavily inhaled and exhaled air; they tightly gripped onto their assault rifles while the driver was gripped tightly onto the wheel; and their heads kept turning into all directions to see if there any red and blue lights flashing. They were completely afraid. However, many would be thinking it would be police officers or the amount of time they would spend in jail if they get caught, no it was something different. It was that red and blue freak they saw beating up their allies. He wasn't like any other person they met, in fact, he wasn't like the Sailor Soldiers they've heard about. He was more stronger, quicker, agile than a regular human being, and most of all, annoying because of his insults and petty jokes he cracks. Maybe he's one of those monsters the Sailors fight against. Maybe not. But the monsters and the spider freak have one thing in common, 'they were creepy as hell', the bank robbers thought. One of the thugs shouted to his ally who was the driver to drive faster. But, the faster they drove, the faster the police drove. The thugs rolled down their windows. With the guns in their hands, they brought down raining bullets. Many civilians saw this and ran for their lives, panicking and screaming in fear. To those who were absent-minded, they felt the rush of wind alerting them of the thugs and police's quick presence and their fast disappearance. The thugs saw an alleyway the car could fit through on their left. They could potentially lose the police there and confuse them of their location, but it was possible that they could be spotted again. However, they would take any chance to escape the police. They drove towards the alleyway and made a sharp left turn. The car's side crashed into a wall, but it didn't make bricks tumble down upon the thugs. It only left a huge dent on the passenger door. They ignored it and continued driving through the alleyway. To their luck, the police lost them. They drove past the alleyway and turned in the direction away from them. The thugs waited for their sirens to die out.
After a few minutes, the sirens were fading away from their current location and they waited until the sirens were completely gone. The bank robbers couldn't believe it. They actually escaped and got away with millions. They all cheered with joy as a result for the bank heist being successful. The thugs exited the vehicles and opened the trunk to reveal larges stacks of money. There were stacks of $100 all around and even some gold bars. The leader of this well-planned heist held 2 gold bars, one in each hand, gazed at their shining rich glory, and smiled and laughed with joy. His minions did the same.
"WE'RE RICH FELLAS!" The leader applauded, yelling the sentence out loud, not caring who's going to hear since he and his allies were too busy admiring the gold. "WHOO! YEAH!"
"FUCKING A!"
"THIS WAS SOOO WORTH IT!" The thugs never felt this happy in their entire lives. They thought of all the items they could afford now they were millionaires. They could afford anything and buy anything to what their hearts' desire. As they pondered on their seemingly future with the loads of cash, they were completely oblivious to a red and blue figure upside down, rappelling down behind them slowly and silently. The figure tapped his foot on top of one of the thugs' head. He turned around and all he saw was black. Nothing else, he couldn't even hear his comrades. There was no light, color, or peep; just darkness, black, or silence.
Because of the events of the bank robbery, Usagi, Mamoru, and the other four girls couldn't make time to go the mall today. Instead, all of them ended up staying at the Hikawa Shrine for the rest of the day. All of them, with the exception of Mamoru, were quite disappointed. Their fun time was interrupted by the robbery and if it didn't happen in the first place, they would be able to go. However, more important matters were pondered as of this moment. Like everyone else in the scene of the crime, they all saw a spider-like hero aiding the police in stopping the four bank robbers out front. He was amazing, not ordinary, something special. This man could avoid bullets with ease and they assumed he owned such strength that a regular human body couldn't possess by looking at his muscles and lower abdominals. His muscles weren't absurdly huge and his abs were like normal, but his actions said otherwise. This hero also didn't take the situation seriously since he sounded very joyful and kept making jokes, but he did a great job at stopping the bank robbery and keeping the civilians safe. No one was hurt when he arrived and everyone, including the Sailors and Mamoru, felt safe around the spider-like figure when he defeated the robbers.
Watching the news, it showed the three robbers that attempted to escape from the police with the money, subdued. One of the robbers was stuck onto the wall by some white string substance. One was lying prone on the ground, stuck by the same substance. And the last robber was upside down with his feet being hanged by the white string, sticking onto a lamppost. All of them seemed unconscious. The police checked the trunk and all of the gold bars and money was safe and sound, still there, but that wasn't the only thing there. A card was left on top of a stack of gold bars. It laid on its front side. A police officer grabbed the card and held it with his fingertips. On the back of the card, it showed a red spider insignia, completely the same as the spider-like figure's. The police officer flipped it to the front. It revealed a sentence. The sentence was either written or typed in a font that Usagi, Rei, and Makoto didn't quite understand. It read: Courtesy Of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! It was in English but in cursive. Mamoru, Ami, and especially Minako understood it almost clearly. Luckily for the ones that couldn't read English, the news reporter, Whitney Chang, read it out in Japanese.
Whitney Chang continued reporting the scene, "Well, there you have it folks, we have a new hero defending our beautiful city Tokyo, stopping crime wherever he may roam. Watch out all you thugs and crooks because the Amazing Spider-Man is here to take you down, protect our fellow civilians, and serve justice. This is Whitney Chang, signing out on Channel 8 news!" The news channel went into it's credits scene and advertisements.
Some of the girls and Mamoru felt very strange about this new 'hero.' Usagi and Minako felt this new hero is what he seemed to be, a good guy who's looking out to save innocents. And the two blondes liked his attitude when he fought against the robbers. Some of his jokes cause them to giggle. Rei thought his positive attitude can bring some moral to the people but she couldn't share the same feelings about the hero's jokes. She wasn't an absurdly serious person, but she felt no one should joke around when innocent lives are at stake. It would potentially cause him to be caught off guard and have civilians unprotected, thus endangering them. But while his habit of making jokes in battle also annoyed Rei, she had some respect for Spider-Man. He aided the police in stopping the crooks from stealing the money from the bank and apprehended the escaping and remaining robbers. And while fighting against the robbers, he was regarded on the civilians' safety more than himself or having complete focus on the robbers. He moved the civilians out of the crossfire to a safe location, saving them from possible injury or death. Because of this brave act and his valiant effort to save the innocent lives, Spider-Man earned Rei's admiration and she had no doubts as to his heroic status quo. Ami had feelings mixed with Usagi and Minako's opinion and Rei's opinion about Spider-Man. She felt that his positive attitude was definitely helping the civilians keep their moral when it seemed that all hope was lost and it wouldn't hurt to crack a couple of jokes. Some of his jokes told at the bank robbery were funny, adding on to his attitude and it gave himself a good reputation. But telling an extreme amount of jokes was not necessary or needed in battle. Unless he used jokes as a sort of aid to help stop the bad guys, it wasn't all that required to have. But she could see that Spider-Man was only trying to do what a hero does, stop the crime, save the civilians, and do the best as he can to stop the threat. For that, Ami has taken a liking to the arachnid hero. Makoto wasn't convinced enough by Channel 8 News or the bank robbery. It was so sudden and his first appearance only happened about four hours ago. He needed to proved more of himself in order to have Makoto's admiration and liking. His actions at the bank robbery were impressive and showed his supposedly heroic status. And his enthusiastic attitude was necessary to keep up the moral of civilians. But like Makoto said to herself within her own thoughts, Spider-Man needed to show more of his heroism in order to have full respect and trust. Mamoru had some respect for Spider-Man. His actions at the bank robbery were definitely something to praise him for and with those actions, he could be trusted, but he couldn't trust him just yet. His heroism might be just a scam to fool people to think he's the good guy, then he might possibly do the opposite of his heroic duties, disturb the peace, break into private property, or even kill innocent people. Maybe worse, Spider-Man could be related to the Death Busters' actions. It could be jealously of the webslinger, but Mamoru highly doubt it. Like Mako-chan, he wanted to know more of Spider-Man like what were his intents, is he really brave and virtuous hero as the people of Tokyo think of him to be, or just another evil villain? These were the type of questions flowing through his head, wondering for the answers. He wanted to be extremely cautious about Spider-Man, even people thought of him as a hero.
No one spoke their opinions about the arachnid hero. They were waiting for someone to say something and have the conversation lead on there. The girls turned their heads at each other while Mamoru bowed his head down, still thinking about his response. He raised his head up, receiving attention from the Sailors.
"I don't trust Spider-Man." He said.
"Why would you say that?" Usagi asked. "He seems like a very nice guy!"
"It was only a couple of hours ago since his first action as a hero and his appearance was all sudden. I'm not saying he is acting as hero, but to be sure, I want to see more of Spider-Man in action to prove that he is what the news says he is."
Makoto nodded, "I felt the same way. His actions at the bank robbery was very heroic of him, but he could be faking it. Or maybe he could be doing this just for the thrill."
"I don't know. He seems like a great guy and is probably trying to be a legitimate hero. He did save all those people who didn't hide from the gunfire." Rei protested.
"I agree. Without the aid of Spider-Man, the police would never stopped the bank robbery. And for that, he should be praised." Minako added on to Rei's argument.
"True, and I do agree with you, but I feel we should keep an eye on Spider-Man. We need to learn more of him if we want to know of his intents." Ami said.
"Are you sure? I don't think he'd favor us spying him." Usagi asked, really unsure about this plan. "I don't anyone would like being spied on. It's invading privacy in my opinion."
"I don't like doing it and I'm sure everyone else doesn't want to it either. I have some respect for Spider-Man, but we are sure to know more of him and his intents for the citizens of Tokyo and the city itself, then we need to do so. We're heroes, so we need to be sure about him." Mamoru replied. Usagi was still uncomfortable of spying on someone or anyone to say the least. None of them don't want to either, but they chose to go along with the plan. Now, they were waiting for Usagi to agree on the plan. They knew her. She was a kind person and wouldn't want to hurt anyone who was innocent. But she was also Sailor Moon, a heroine. And Usagi had a duty as Sailor Moon to uphold the peace and save everyone from the bad guys' clutches. She believed Spider-Man was a good person, even he did one heroic act, but she had almost no choice.
She sighed, "Ok, we'll go along with the plan."
Somewhere in the Juban district, two figures stood on a rooftop, overlooking the citizens from above. Both figures were female, having serious looks like something was about to happen. The first figure was short but curly pale blond hair. Her eye color was a dark blue. She dawned some masculine clothing as her style. She wore what a grown male adult would wear on a regular basis. A tie was one of them and suit pants as well. No skirt or anything relating to feminine clothing and accessories. She was always mistaken as a male like the time she had two young girls fall in love with her until she revealed her true identity as a female. The second figure had ocean blue hair that easily flowed with the wind. Her eye color was a greenish blue. Unlike the first figure, this woman dawned elegant feminine clothing as her style such. Skirts, earrings, some mascara, anything relating to the feminine clothing style was something she wore. They were both recognized as Haruka Tennou and Michiru Kaiou, or as their alter egos, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune.
The two would focus on the silence that was soon to come if they don't find the three talismans from people's pure hearts. Luckily, these talismans were only found in Tokyo, Japan and not anywhere else in the world. If so, then the journey would be a lot longer than it should. It was said that these three talismans were the key to the human race and all life on Earth's survival, but it could be also used for the Earth's ultimate destruction. When the three talismans were combined, it created the Holy Grail. But only two specific people can use it. Haruka and Michiru only knew that the Messiah of Silence, their enemy, was able to use the Holy Grail. The good Messiah was still a mystery to the two.
Normally, the two would focus on this, however, something came up and they were concerned about it. It had to do with the bank robbery near the mall and the 'hero' who aided the police in subduing the criminals. This Spider-Man caught Haruka's and Michiru's eyes. The way he fought was something that rarely anyone could do. His abilities were almost incredible. He even avoided gunfire, up close too. This Spider-Man was a force to be reckoned with. However, they felt uncomfortable with this man. He could be a potential threat to them or anyone to say the least if he wasn't what the people of Tokyo thought of him to be or influenced to do some horrible things to people. He could also get in the way of finding the three talismans. The fact they had to sacrifice someone to retrieve one of the talismans would make this Spider-Man enraged. The two saw he was very concerned of the people's safety. Even sacrificing one would get his attention. Haruka and Michiru talked to each other about their plan with him.
"So, the plan is set? We keep an eye on him?" Michiru asked.
Haruka nodded, "Yes. He might get in our way of finding the talismans. We can't have that happening."
