I DON'T OWN ANYTHING.

Chapter Four: Buried in Ashes.

Two hours earlier…

JFK International Airport, a small SHIELD issue personal airplane landed SHIELD agent Phil Coulson and Captain America waited outside as its occupants exited out the aircraft. One was Flash Thompson along with Andi Benton, who managed to convince her aunt that her class was having a field trip to New York for two weeks at most, along with Kaine Parker and Aracely Penabla who were reluctant of joining them. However, the four had been called by SHIELD do the recent Intel of the Goblin Underground and Carnage from Spider-Man made the other Spiders realize they need to band together for their own safety.

"So this is New York, I sense…crowdedness." Aracely said to herself as she already sensed the thoughts of those around her.

"Should see Philidelphia…" Andi joked as she got a chuckle from Aracely.

"Now that we're here…" Captain America said as he turned to Flash and Kaine "…as you two and Spider-Man already told me, it seems the Goblin Underground have resurfaced and allied themselves with Carnage and released Gabriel Stacy and Jack O Lantern while killing the entire staff and patients of Ravencroft."

The mentioning of Jack O Lantern made Andi have a venomous look and just when Flash was about to calm her down, Aracely beat him to it as she said "I sense anger in you along with sadness, you don't hold that in your heart." And for some reason it worked on Andi and she calmed down.

"Speaking of Carnage, any ideas if the symbiote in control?" Flash asked Rogers.

"Unknown, but I'm not the one who'll brief you on this…" Captain America answered.

"Really, then which military jock is going to tell us what the hell is going on?" Kaine asked impatiently.

"This military jock…" A female voice said behind them and as they turned they all looked in shock as the woman looked like a ghost from their past.

Current time…

"It is Parker…" Carnage mocked as the symbiote flowed off his face, revealing Norman Osborn's face "…I can never truly die."

"So you took the symbiote for yourself Osborn?" Peter demanded before Goblin's flamsesword and Jack O Lantern's chain scythe inched closer to his neck menacingly.

"Actually I simply "borrowed" Octavius's toys and took over the lease in Kasady's noggin." Osborn answered menacingly as he revealed the scar around his neck that shows his recent surgery.

"You transferred your mind into Kasady's and even use plastic surgery to butcher his face!" Peter said in shock on what Osborn did to Cletus's body.

"More like turn him in a god, I am smarter than him and now I need to expand my empire by bringing in the family. This reminds me…" Osborn stopped as he commanded the symbiote to flow unto his face "… Grey Goblin and Menace, come with me! Green Goblin, Jack O Lantern you can have fun with Spider-Man but don't kill him."

In that moment Carnage shot some tendrils at the nearest elevator and literally ripped it out and he, Menace, and Grey Goblin made their way up to the top floor.

"Well Spidey…" Jack O Lantern laughed as he kicked Spider-Man down "…Are you a fan of Halloween?"

It was then he grabbed his flame thrower and just when he was about to spray his flames, suddenly he was knocked down by a black figure and just when Green Goblin was going to his ally's aid, a web line was shot on his and whipped him out of the building.

"Uh…what just happened?" Peter thought as he got up to see Mania wrestling Jack O Lantern on the ground and looked outside to see Agent Venom grabbing Green Goblin by the neck with Scarlet Spider along with both Hummingbird who was running to Mania's aid and an unknown woman in a black ops attire.

"That's twice I owe you bro." Scarlet Spider said with sarcasm as he turned to Goblin.

"You have once chance Urich, tell us where Carnage is or get your ass kicked." Agent Venom threatened.

"And tell us why he broke Gabriel Stacy and Jack O Lantern out of prison?!" The mystery woman added to the demands.

Urich simply grinned as said "How about I let some friends answer that, Jack?" Goblin then turned to the pinned Jack O Lantern as the madman chuckled.

"What's so funny you sick sack of s**t?!" Mania growled in anger of her father's murderer.

"Just bringing in the kids!" Jack O Lantern laughed as suddenly an ice cream truck burst through a wall and after a few silent tension moments, the truck exploded as dozens of small goblin robots burtst though and launched themselves at the heroes.

"Gotcha!" Urich laughed as he unleashed his Goblin sonic laugh, weakening Venom and took flight was about to use his sword on Kaine before Spider-Man tackled him and quipped "Now it's time to save you Kaine!"

"Guess we have to kick some ass!" Venom said to himself as he grabbed a grenade launcher as he opened fire unto the Goblin robots with Mania and Hummingbird fighting Jack O Lantern.

Meanwhile in the panic room at the top floor, Liz Allen, Normie Osborn, and Tiberius Stone hid in some safety as the heard the chaos outside.

"Why the hell is Carnage here?!" Stone said in a cowardly tone.

"I don't know but I am glad Peter is here…" Liz tried to calm Stone and her son down before suddenly the metal door began to dent as something was pounding on the door as the panic room occupants backed against the wall in fear. It was then there was silent before the door was whipped from its hinges as Carnage stood there along with Menace and Gray Goblin as Carnage's symbiote flowed off his face.

"Hello Liz and hi there sport!" Osborn greeted creepily.

"Oh god…" Liz Allen gasped in fear.

Back on the ground floor, the heroes tried to hold their own as they were overwhelmed by the "reinforcements".

"A dirty trick Jack!" Venom growled as he tried to shoot down Jack O Lantern as Mania continues to dodge Jack O Lantern's flame thrower while Himmingbird held her own against the Goblin Robots.

"Never expected us to do this huh Parker?" Goblin laughed as he tried to use his sword on Peter, Kaine, and the mystery woman.

"I have no time for this Urich! Where's Osborn!" The woman demanded as she grabbed an electric baton and tried to hit Goblin with hit, though missed.

In that moment Urich pressed the ear of his masked and asked "Boss you ready?"

"Yes Phil, we have what we need, you can leave now." Osborn said on the other line.

"Jack time to pack it and leave!" Uerich ordered as he stopped his attack and flew up in the air at hypersonic speeds.

"Sorry Flashy and Andi, time to end our date." Jack O Lantern chuckled as he too flew out the receptionist at blinding speeds as the Goblin Robots shut off with power.

"Where are they going?!" Kaine questioned in anger as they looked up to see the window of the top floor burst as Carnage swung out with Grey Goblin holding on an unconscious Normie Osborn and Menace holding an equally unconscious Liz Allen.

"No!" Peter said in fear as he tried to save them before Venom put his hand on Peter's shoulder and said regretfully as the Goblin's made their escape "It's too late…"

A few minutes the heroesd made their way to the top floor to see Stone webbed against the wall as he yelled "Free me you idiots!"

"What happened?" Spider-Man asked as he pulled stone down.

"Osborn is back and took Liz and Normie!" Stone frantically answered before becoming unconscious.

"He had a lot of stress." Aracely commented.

"Osborn has the symbiote!?" Venom said in shock.

"No, he used Ock's tech to transfer his mind in Carnage's body and modified his face to look like his." Spider-Man explained as he himself was shocked by the revelation.

"Ah hell…" Scarlet Spider cursed to himself.

"You can't be serious." Mania said to herself as didn't realize how big the situation.

"It seems Osborn has truly gone insane and is dragging anyone relating to the Osborns." The masked woman deduced of situation.

"Okay I don't want to sound rude but who are you lady?" Spider-Man finally asked about the masked woman.

"It truly has been a long time huh Peter?" The woman said sadly as she removed her make to reveal herself to be a blonde and appeared to be in her late thirties'.

"Oh my…" Peter said in dumbstruck her face almost resembled someone he knew too well.

"Yes Peter it's me Sarah." Sarah Stacy revealed herself to Peter Parker.
