I DON'T OWN ANYTHING.
Chapter Three: Impending Doom.
It was late night in New York City, specifically the ruins of Ravencroft, Spider-Man along with Black Cat and Wolverine as they try to figure out just what happened. They also tried not the make themselves sick as virtually no one survived the attack except for the escapees Jack O Lantern and Gabriel Stacy.
"Flash and Andi is going to have a fit when they find out…" Spider-Man said to himself as he tried to look through the security footage.
"Think they've planned this?" Black Cat asked.
"Doubt it; the way it looks, someone recruited these psychos." Wolverine answered as he used his senses to figure out who was at the scene.
Spider-Man then managed to fix the security footage as something got all their attention, Carnage walking along with Gabriel, Jack O Lantern, and what looks like a winged Green Goblin. The heroes already knew that "Carnage" has escaped without leaving a trace; they were shocked he seemed to be taking charge of the attack as they knew Scarlet Spider gave Cletus Kasady a lobotomy in Houston.
"Did they symbiote healed his brain?" Wolverine asked as he remembered the last time he face Carnage during his takeover of a Colorado city.
"I don't know, but the fact there's a new Goblin isn't something I want to have in my dreams." Spider-Man said in some humor yet concern as he knew how deadly the Goblin Underground was during the time he was dead.
"Could be Phil…" Black Cat injected as she observed this Goblin has the distinctive wings.
Spider-Man nodded as he opened a window and Wolverine asked "Where you going?"
"I need to makes some calls to a few friends…and an old past." Spider-Man answered calmly as he web zipped out.
An hour later Peter was in his condo with MJ sleeping soundly on the line with a certain friend from across time.
"So you can't help out Miguel?" Peter asked as Miguel O'Hara, aka Spider-Man of the year 2099, via his cross-dimensional "cell phone".
"I wish Peter but according to the data on the timestream, it's still healing from Otto's mess and if I help figure out what Carnage and the Goblins are up too, I could cause another time decay." Miguel answered with some regret for his friend.
"Gotcha Miguel, man Goblins and Carnage together is making me want just hide with MJ and the baby." Peter sighed as he feared for his family's life now that his identity is public.
"I understand, but I can do this, though a lifeform can't cross time just yet, I can send an inanimate object, specifically I got a new toy for you tom play with." Miguel said with a chuckled as Peter was at least thankful to get help from his future successor.
"Thanks Miguel, I'll ask Tony to send his mailing address across time." Peter joked as he hung up the "time phone".
The doorbell then rang as he walked to hit and once it opened, he sighed with annoyance.
"Oh come one Julia, is it this bad?" Peter sighed as Julia Carpenter, Madame Web, was waiting at the door with a face that means she's going to say that something bad will happen.
"Unfortunately it is! I had another vision…" Web said as she walked in.
"So what's going on, Carnage and a Goblin recruiting for a supervillain soccer team?" Peter asked.
"I don't know, all I've seen is that this city will be a battle ground and every hero is in danger, especially you and the other spiders." Madame Web tried to explain her vision.
"You mean Flash and Kaine? I already altered them and we all have been getting some gifts I really don't want to talk about." Peter said with some hint of anger as he's still angry some dishonored Gwen Stacy's memory along with Ben Reilly's and insulted Flash and Andi's tragedies.
"Whoever is behind is trying to undermine you and your allies and wants to make this personal." Madame Web analyzed what Peter told her as she knows of the messages the Spiders where given.
"You think? Well thanks for the warning Web, just be careful as you're just as big as a target as us webheads." Peter warned Madame Web as he escorted her out.
"And I hope MJ will be safe as well…" Peter thought as he went into bed with her sleeping form, hoping to get a goodnight's sleep.
The next morning, in the newly built Alchemax building, the staff where working as usual with Liz Allen, Tiberius Stone, and Normie Osborn were at the top level as they observed the progress. Though Tiberius was angry at Spider-Man's intervention of his failed attempt at destroying Horizon Labs, Liz and Nomrie are at least satisfied that having some of the smartest minds backing them.
Unknown to them, a lone man in a hood walked into the receptionist as everyone there already figured means trouble. So the female receptionist gave one of the security guards and the guard came to the hooded man and asked "You need something sir?"
It was then a toothy grin was seen under the hood and the man said "I seem to be on a spree against security guards…" The suddenly a red tendril from the man's jacket and stabbed the guard in the head, killing him instantly. The man then morphed into Carnage as everyone there screamed in terror.
"ATTACK MY FOLLOWERS!" Carnage proclaimed as suddenly Jack O Lantern, Green Goblin, Menace, Gray Goblin, and Doppelganger burst into the building along with dozens of armed men began they're onslaught.
"This will be fun!" Jack O Lantern laughed as he was equipped with a flame thrower and was burning whoever he saw.
"Don't get carried away Jack. We're here for the kid." Green Goblin ordered.
"He's right, now you keep the police distracted as I find…" Carnage said as just when he was about to enter the elevator…
*BOOM*
Carnage was then with an onslaught of web bullets as the Goblins observed to see Spider-Man swinging his way to the now destroyed Alchemax first floor.
"He came fast…" Menace commented.
"So you're in charge of this Carnage! I'm going to make sure you stay down you sick-ack!" Spider-Man was about to tell the downed Carnage as suddenly his neck was wrapped with a chained scythe that belonged to Jack O Lantern and Green Goblin's flame sword was very closely against his neck.
"Think Kasady is behind this Spider?" Carnage chuckled with a familiar voice that made Spider-Man shocked in fear.
"No it can't be…" Spider-Man whispered in disbelief.
"It is Parker…" Carnage mocked as the symbiote flowed off his face, revealing Norman Osborn's face "…I can never truly die."
To be continued.
