"Things are starting to look good again." Davis said as he was swinging through the city. "I got my girl back and nothing really bad has been happening. I just hope it can stay that way." Davis thought things were finally going his way and nothing could ruin it.

"Dokugu-Man! Down here! Davis was swinging by and saw Satina was calling out for him.

"Oh man. I thought I made it clear our little arrangement was over." Davis swung down and landed on the same building as her. "Satina, I thought I made it clear that what we did is over."

"Dokugu-Man….help…help me." Satina said and she sounded weak. She dropped to her knees and appeared to be hurt.

"Satina!" Davis called out as he ran to help her. "Are you okay?" He said as he helped her stand. "What happened? Are you hurt?"

"Hold it right there, Dokugu-Man." He looked around and saw he was surrounded by the same members of Royal's elite force. Some on those hover-cycles and others on the roofs.

"Not these guys again." Davis said as they all took aim and he got ready to fight. "You guys want to rumble? Bring it." He shot a web and blinded one. He webbed the cycle and swung himself up. All of them took aim with their blasters and tried to shoot him down. Davis swung over to another cycle and kicked the two down. He landed over at two more and split-kicked them.

"Freeze."

"No thanks." Davis said. He jumped away as some more of them shoot at him. He landed right on top of one and used his webs to pull at two more to have them crash into each other. "You guys have to do better than this." He shot another cycle with his webbing and used incredible strength to have it crash near some others.

"Dokugu-Man!" Satina shouted and sounded like she need help. He looked over and saw one of them was about to shoot at her.

"I'm coming!" Davis called out. He webbed the guy and ran to help her. He webbed the weapon and pulled it out of his grasp and gave him a strong hit to the head. "Just stay behind me." Davis was getting ready to fight them all and protect Satina. He didn't get the chance as he felt himself being electrocuted and the weirdest part was that his Dokugu-Senses didn't go off. Davis dropped to the ground and wondered what happened.

"Sorry, my little spider." Davis looked up and saw it was Satina who did it and she was holding an electrical charged rod. With all the time they've been together, she didn't trigger his Dokugu-Senses. Davis wondered why she would do this as he lost vision and blacked out.

Davis

Davis felt a lot of pain going through him as he was coming back to his senses. He felt that he was standing, but his arms were being pulled and he was restricted. He was able to see clearly and saw he was in a room with chains going through the wall that held his arms. There were no windows, but the room was lit up from lights on the ceiling.

"What is this?" Davis said. He tried to pull himself free, but the chains wouldn't budge. He heard the door open up and was met with his captive: Satina.

"Try all you want. The weight connected to those chains could hold an elephant." Satina said.

"Satina, what are you doing?" Davis said.

"I'm impressed, my dear. Your plan actually worked." Davis was surprised to see Walter Rumin walked through the door.

"Walter Rumin? What are you doing here?" Davis said.

"You actually might know me as someone else." Walter said.

"Who?" Davis asked.

"He's Royal, doofus." Satina said and Davis was greatly surprised.

"You're Royal?!" Davis said. "Walter Rumin? You held some charitable events. A lot of people think you're a great guy."

"In a way, I am." Royal said boasting. "I'm glad that we finally meet in person, Dokugu-Man."

"I don't understand." Davis said. "How can someone like you be Royal, the man who created most of my enemies, or is the whole nice guy thing really nothing more than an act?"

"Well, I have an empire to build and you are in my way." Royal said. "No one ever would have expected a generous man such as myself to be a criminal mastermind. I also have you to think, Satina. I never would have caught him if it weren't for you." Davis looked at Satina and was pretty angry.

"You're working for him? Was everything you said a lie?" Davis said.

"Of course not. I have my reasons for what I did today." Satina said.

"And now the moment I've been waiting for." Royal said as he rubbed his hand in anticipation as he walked over to Davis. "It's time for the unmasking of Dokugu-Man." He reached out for Davis' mask. He tried to get free, but the chains were too strong. Davis thought it was the end for him.

"Wait." Satina said and had Royal. "Why unmasked him here and now? Why not make it more soul shattering to Dokugu-Man?"

"What did you have in mind?" Royal asked.

"How about revealing his identity to the public?" Satina said. "It will build the excitement for you and be all the more pleasurable if you wait until then. Once word gets out of who he is, his enemies will destroy him and everything he cares about."

"I see. I like it." Royal said as he thought it was truly evil. "Looks like you still have some time. Savor it while you can until I find the right time and place to unmask you." Royal left the room and that just left Davis with Satina and his rage.

"I can't believe this. I can't believe I trusted you." Davis said.

"You can trust me. Otherwise I would have just let him take your mask off." Satina said.

"So were you working with him all along? Were you just trying to get close to me so I could get taken down?"

"I'll admit that I have worked with him in the past, but only for a few jobs." Satina said. "Besides, this is all your fault."

"How is it my fault?" Davis said.

"It was from all those times we were together." Satina said. "I never met anyone like you. I thought I was just looking for a good time, but then I began to remember what it was like to have…..feelings. I almost forgot what they were like. You made me experience feelings again."

"I did?" Davis said.

"So when you wanted to end things between us, I actually felt sadness because of it." Satina said.

"But you said you were fine with it." Davis said.

"I thought I was, but the more I thought about it, the more it upset me." Satina said. "Then, when I saw you with another girl, I was so angry and I snapped. That's how we got to here."

"So you stabbed me in the back by going to the guy who wants my head? Real nice." Davis said.

"I couldn't stand the idea of seeing you with someone else." Satina said. "You actually tried to understand me. You played hard to get and it worked on me."

"Yeah and looked where that got me." Davis said.

"I only went to Royal because now I have something you want." Satina said.

"What are you talking about?" Davis said.

"Are you blind?" Satina said.

"Enlighten me." Davis said.

"Look, I can get you out of here. I can help take him down." Satina said. "If you agree to be with only me. We can face everything the world throws at us together. It would be just us."

"Forget it. After what you just did, how can I expect to trust you?" Davis said. Satina didn't want that answer, but he's made his choice.

"Fine. Then enjoy watching your pitiful life fall to pieces." Satina said and was leaving the room.

"Satina, if you really feel that way about me, you let me out regardless." Davis said, but Satina didn't respond as the doors closed behind her and she shut away what she thought could happen.

…

Royal's Office

"Well done, Satina. I should have went to you right from the start." Royal said as the two of them entered his office and he took his seat. It was the middle of the day now and Royal had his plan made. "By tomorrow at noon, the entire world will know who Dokugu-Man is."

"I can't take all the credit." Satina said. "The only reason I was able to do it was because I wasn't considered a threat to him. I had to gain his trust first."

"And you ended up using that against him and help lead to his demise." Royal said as he was very pleased with her. Royal reached for his jacket pocket and pulled out a key. "I don't have to worry about him escaping either. I hold the only key to his cuffs and he doesn't have the strength to get out. Dokugu-Man is finished." He placed the key back in the pocket where it was safe and secure.

"And some people will see you as a hero as some believe him to be a menace." Satina said as she walked over to him and massaged his shoulders. "It's a win-win. Dokugu-Man will be no more and your publicity as the man people believe you are rises."

"I didn't even think about that." Royal said as his ego grew bigger. "This will be a wonderful day." He got up from his chair and Satina pulled her arms away. "Thank you for all your help, Satina. I would get a good night's rest if I were you. It's going to be one hell of a day tomorrow."

"Good night, sir." Satina said as she watched Royal leave the office. "Finally." She opened up the drawers in his desk and tried looking for something. She came across one that was locked. "Bingo. No one would lock a drawer unless there's something they're trying to hide." She took out a pin and jiggled it around the lock until she heard a clicking sound. "There you are." Satina pulled open the drawer and found a file with a bunch of papers in it. She looked through it to make sure she has what she was looking for. "Got it. We'll see who really holds the upper hand, Royal and my little spider." What's she up to and whose side is she really on?
