Chapter 6: Villains Galore!
Peter and Gwen walked toward Midtown in silence, although Peter was wondering if it had been wise to let Warren take his blood. He was about to ask Gwen, when a column of smoke coming from their school's location made both teens run in that direction, because they were New Yorkers, and Peter was a hero, while Gwen was a police captains daughter. Peter's keen sight noticed a group of familiar figures hulking near his school.
"And the Parker luck strikes again," Peter groaned. He opened his mouth to tell Gwen to stay back, but her murderous LOOK shut him up. He held up his hands in surrender, before hurling a truck into the air, and it sailed straight at the largest figure-the Rhino. O'Hirn bellowed as the vehicle struck him, more in annoyance than in pain.
"Quiet fool!" Otto snaps. "Don't give the insect what he wants."
"Real nice Ock. Spiders are arachnids not insects. How many times will I have to tell you people that? What are you anyway? The Villains Who Regularly Get Their Butts Kicked By A Teenager Group?"
"We are the Sinister Syndicate!"
"Right. Doctor Octopus, the Rhino, Kraven, the Scorpion, the Vulture who escaped prison again, the Hobgoblin, Electro, the Sandman, Mysterio, Shocker and his Enforcers, and Hydroman. How are you guys sinister?" Peter drawled from the schools roof. He hid his uneasiness over a carefully composed snarky poker face. Most of his more dangerous villains were there, he was lucky the Green Goblin or Carnage didn't join them although at least he didn't have to worry about Venom anymore.
Peter winced as he saw another pair of figures appear. Stupid Parker Luck. I can't keep my mouth shut can I? He inhaled before launching himself at the Scorpion.
"Geronimo!" Peter cried as he landed a solid kick to the villains jaw. Scorpion stumbled back dazed, but whatever the prodigy could dish out he could return. Peter jumped back and ricocheted of Ox, before punching the Shocker and mule kicking Rhino, desperately trying to stay moving, and untouchable. His luck, bad as it was, didn't comply. He got knocked to the ground, courtesy of the Sandman.
"Jeez, warn a guy! Or do you possess too few brain cells to do that?" Peter mocked, cursing the fact that his bouncing around prevented him from twisting out of the way. Peter jumped high into the air, followed by all the villains that could get airborne, or possessed a power similar to his.
"Stop moving! You're making this harder for yourself than it has to be!" Vulture crowed (Vulture, crow…anyone?) as he dive-bombed Peter who was sticking to one of the Goblins gliders upside down. At which point Peter realized that he and Harry were cool, so he had no idea who the Green Goblin was.
"I'm supposed to make this easy? Then how are you going to have fun?" Peter quipped, reaching into his pocket to signal for help. He could fight, but it was better to have backup when fighting multiple villains. Even if said help never arrived until the fight was over.
"Hey, Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle Dum! Over here!" Peter yelled at the Goblins, and then jumped into the mass of villains, hoping that the two would send missiles that would incapacitate villains. They only served to scatter the villains, which was not the desired result. Peter retreated and stared at the mass of villains. He couldn't use brute force, so he had to outthink them. Some of them were geniuses so his only choice was to do what he did best and insult them until they got sloppy. Peter then winced as several small darts pierced his flesh. He'd forgotten about Carnage, who's ability to mess with his spider sense was the most dangerous of all.
"Your spleen will taste delicious Parker." Peter shuddered in mock fear.
"That's gross, you know that?" Peter back flipped to avoid Carnage's ax arm, only to be knocked into a wall by the Sandman. He rolled, hoping to soften the impact, and threw a haymaker at the silicon villain.
"Sandy, didn't we have that talk? You don't have to be a villain!" Peter did something he rarely did when fighting- appealing to a villain's soft side. Something the Sandman's eyes hardened then and Peter had to duck to avoid the wall of sand, only to be hurled into a mini tornado.
"You're wrong. I am the Sandman!" Peter sighed and resumed his witty banter.
"Uh huh. I tried, but I guess the good Octopus brainwashed you too much." Peter leaped into the air and attached a web-line to a Goblin's glider to escape the Sandman, and threw a double fisted punch at the Scorpion, only to be hit in the head by said person's tail.
"Ow! How is it fair that there are fifteen of you and one of me? Or are you too scared of Midtown's biggest nerd that you have to gang up on me?" Peter jeers, hoping to rile them into rushing him while he's in the center of the circle of villains. Most of them comply, but they realize the trick far too soon.
"Oops. Come on idiots! I'm standing right here!" Doc Ock wraps a tentacle around the Avenger, who is going through his collection of puns and quips rapidly.
"You hope to best us boy? Unless I am very much mistaken, you couldn't even stop the criminal who killed your uncle!" Peter narrows his eyes. So Ock wanted to play that game.
"At least I help people! You are to idiotic to realize how much you could help people!" Peter snarls, and with renewed vigor, rips out of the tentacle, causing a hiss of pain from the good doctor. He whirls into action, and sends a web-line to each Goblin, then sends them hurling into each other.
"And he shoots, he scores!" Peter cries. "Sandy, come and get me, or are you too old?" Peter dives through Hydroman before the water villain could react and the Sandman follows the hero, which ends up in a mud creature forming briefly, before the sludge drips into a drain. I was not expecting that. Four down, eleven to go. He shoots a glob of webbing directly into the Rhino's eyes. "Come and get me O'Hirn! Or does the horn prevent you from moving in a straight line?" Thankfully, the gray suited man falls for it and charges into the Scorpion and Ox, who are caught by the bigger villain's vicious assault. Peter smirks, only to be thrown a good twenty feet by the red symbiotic creature.
Peter rolls upright, wincing as his ribs, already sore from Otto's squeeze, crack.
"That was for destroying our father. Hahahahah!" Peter raises an eyebrow at the insane cackling and twirls a finger around his temple.
"Okay. You're crazy. Shouldn't you be in an asylum- the one for crazies, not the safe haven- right now?" Peters only response is a red blur kicking his legs out from him. In response, Peter pushes up from Cletus's back and does a handspring, ending up punching Ricochet out cold, considering the fact that he has no super strength whatsoever. An ethereal fog, clouds Peter's vision, and his spider sense is the only thing that prevents Kraven from sucker punching him into Jersey.
"Of all the things! Bad kitty! Don't you know it's rude to punch people when they can't see you?" Peter asks mockingly. "Anyway, why does the world's greatest hunter have to ask for help?" Peter rushes the feline hybrid, only to end up electrocuted. "How do you expect me to take you down if you don't even let me attack you D-listers in peace?"
"Hey Webhead! You oughta know by now that these idiots are too cowardly to attack one at a time! Oh, and by the way, the cavalry has arrived! Drakes back from Antarctica, so the five of us shall kick some villain butt! As my sidekicks of course." The pyro cries, before he leaps into action. Nightcrawler bamfs next to Peter, while the two elementals take on Electro and the Shocker. Deadpool chops off the Doctor Octopus's tentacles, and seems to enjoy it more than he should. Peter and Kurt stand back to back, facing Kraven and Mysterio. The two acrobats charge their opponents and Peter kicks Kraven in the chest, throwing him into Mysterio. Kurt then proceeds to teleport them rapidly, until both villains collapse into the ground, dazed from the teleports and being thrown into one another.
"That worked. Now we have the Rhino, the Vulture and Carnage left. Johnny, you and Bobby take down big, mean, and gray. Wade, you handle Vulchy. Kurt and I will take the alien."
"Aye, aye Captain!"
"How come I get stuck with the lame-o?!"
"…"
The elementals manage to encase the Rhino in a block of ice, with his legs sunk deep into melted tar. The Vulture ends up with his wings sliced to pieces. The wall crawlers end up leading the symbiote in circles, until Kurt hits him over the head with the hilt of his sword, while Peter throws a bus on top of Kasady.
"We rule!" Bobby cries.
"Sure we do Popsicle. Last one to my house is a rotten villain!" The five teens break off into sprints of some sort and race off, laughing.
A/N: R&R! Sorry for the fight scene, I'm still not so good at them.
Deadpool: You stuck me with the Vulture of all people-
*Drags Deadpool outside and throws him into a pile of snow, then hammers boards over all doors and windows.*
AG: So R&R or Deadpool will forever bug you, driving you insane! ^.^
