Having gained the knowledge that Shadaloo and S.I.N would be assisting the super villains, Chun Li worked hard on her investigation with and without Spider-man. Each lead she got, she investigated fully. Now that it wasn't just the Kingpin dealing with Shadaloo, but other criminals.
She caught sight of a suspicions looking man. He ran away from her, but went after him. She captured him in her grasp. This was revealed to be a dummy. Pellets were then tossed her way spreading a smoke bomb. Chun Li quickly covered her mouth as she escaped. Before she could react, a dart was shot at her.
She quickly took it out, but she had begun to feel dizzy from the effect of the dart. Another dart shot at her, as she fell to her knees. Her strength was beginning to vitiate. Before long she fell unconscious. A Russian hunter wearing lion's mane reported to his client.
"The prey has been caught sir."
"Good Kraven, bring her to me, and leave a message to our friendly neighborhood Spider-man. He will come regardless." The client replied.
Peter arrived at his apartment to produce his photos for the Bugle. When he got to his door, a message was found on his door. The message said, "If you ever want to see your precious women again, tell your friend Spider-man that the hunt is on. Come to the old warehouse and follow the trail. P.S no backup."
"Kraven!" Peter muttered.
Spider-man rushed to the same location Chun Li was abducted. If something happened to her, he didn't know what he'll do. But he knew Kraven would not hurt his companions, because he enjoyed the thrill of the hunt. He still had a sense of honor inside of him despite being villain. That fact alone was a relief to Spider-man.
"Chun Li! Where have you gone?" he puzzled.
Spider-man spider sense alerted him of danger. When he turned around he was already pinned to the wall. He heard a familiar sinister chuckle. He didn't want to believe it.
"Aw, what's a matter little spider? You look like you just seen a ghost or maybe a goblin."
"It can't be, Green Goblin…you're…" He paused.
Green Goblin slammed Spider-man's face to the wall, "Yes, in the flesh Spider-man. How long has it been a year, decade, hard to tell? But it is good seeing you again. We should have a welcoming party and you're the guest of honor. Catch me if you can spider."
Before Spider-man went after Goblin, he had to be sure on something. He checked the mental institute. The doctor's had assured him that Harry has been with them still struggling through split personally. Liz Allen still checked up on him, due to her love for Harry. She still felt hope that he will get better leaving him a bundle of flowers.
Next he checked the New York cemetery. He dug up the body of Norman Osborn. Shockingly, he body was still intact. This left Spider-man plague with questions. He knew Goblin could not be Norman Osborn.
Green Goblin flew away on his guilder as Spider-man had followed his trail. He could not believe that Green Goblin was back. Spider-man felt both shocked and angry at the same time. His head was spinning. He didn't know what to think. His encounter with Goblin had begun to bring back a painful memory.
He remembered the time he last fought Green Goblin one year ago. He held Gwen Stacy at the top of the Brooklyn Bridge. Spider-man had managed to save her. However, he then realized that Gwen Stacy had died. It was due to the effect of whiplash.
Enraged, he cursed revenge on the Green Goblin. Although he had beaten him severely, he could not bring himself to kill him. Goblin made a last stitch effort to impale Spider-man with his glider. His spider sense warned him of danger as dodged the blow. Therefore, the attack killed Norman Osborn aka Green Goblin. Even if Green Goblin was at fault, Spider-man still blames himself for what about to Gwen.
"Come on out Osborn, and we'll settle this spider to Goblin!"
Spider-man exclaimed busting in the old Oscorp facility. He touched a tile, thus activating booby traps. Warned by his spider sense, he maneuvered around the traps. From arrows, spears, darts and boulder traps, he avoided.
Spider-man called out, "Is that the best you got Kraven, because I'm still standing. Why don't you be good hunter and give up?"
"That would not be very sporting Spider-man, and besides it is quite fun seeing you get through my obstacles." Kraven replied.
"You have to kidnap someone to get my attention?" He inquired.
"Less talking and more walking Spider-man. Otherwise, something may accidently happen to your love; we would hate to spill some blood." Green Goblin taunted.
He clenched his fist, "Oh I bet you would, because I'm going to spill yours if you do something to hurt Chun Li."
A bunch of pumpkin bombs hailed his way, "Don't make promises you can't keep Spider-man!"
Spider-man rushed through Goblin and Kraven traps endlessly. All what was going on his mind was saving Chun Li. He would hate to lose her like he lost Gwen.
Chun Li had discovered that she was captured as struggled to get free. She used her spiked bracelets to try to cut the thick rope.
She was set free as she knocked out the two guards. Chun Li still felt the effects of the darts as her movement began to dim. Her version was also starting to grow dim. It was like her body was heavy and ready to give up on her.
She shook her head multiple times to rid the drug effect. She even slapped her own face. But each moment the drug became stronger. She muttered to herself, "Come on Chun Li. Keep yourself together."
"It is like getting two birds with one stone." Kraven aimed his rifle at Chun Li.
"Yes, both the spider and the girl have fallen victim to our prey. I promise you Kraven, You'll be compensated for your work." Goblin replied.
Kraven grinned, "The thrill of the hunt is reward enough for me Goblin."
"Now then, why don't we check on our web slinging friend?" Goblin suggested.
Spider-man still continued to rush through the deadly traps. But now he was so focused on getting ahead, that he was starting to take hits. His costume was getting torn.
Before long, Spider-man busted through the main office of Oscorp. She demanded angrily, "Where is she Osborn!"
Green Goblin turned his back, "So the spider has landed? I can't say that I'm surprised."
"How are you still alive Osborn?" Spider-man inquired.
"Since you won't be around anymore Spider-man, I guess I can educate you. Before Norman Osborn's death, we created a backup plan, so that if he died. Another one would take his place on the throne. Kind of like a king."
"So you're not the real Norman Osborn?" he asked confused.
"No, I am someone inheriting his place with his skills, intellect and some of his memories. In other words, his mind is in my body." Goblin explained.
Kraven held Chun Li in his grasp; he held two machetes to her neck, "Congratulations on completion the hunt Spider-man. Once again you have proven yourself to be a worthy foe."
"Let her go Kraven!" Spider-man demanded.
Chun Li was still weak from the drug. She found herself unable to lift her arms, nor use her legs. Even her Chi energy was ignored.
Green Goblin held his gauntlet towards Spider-man, "I have to advise any rash actions Spider-man or Kraven will slit her throat and poor little spider will be all alone in this cruel world."
"Don't worry about me Spider-man, take him down!" she grunted.
Chun Li poked herself with her spiked bracelets. The pain was beginning to make her see clearly as the drug was being neutralized. Her strength had come back to her. She released a fury of punches and kicks against Kraven.
"Well, so much for making your life miserable little spider. No matter, because, your already dead. I suppose now would be the good time to activate this." Goblin triggered his gauntlet.
Chun Li held an evil scowl. She turned her attention towards Spider-man. She released multiple kicks against him. Spider-man stood in the defense watching out for Chun Li's attacks. He knew in hand to hand combat Chun Li had always matched him. Kraven swung his machetes knives and Goblin threw his pumpkin bombs.
"While you were taking your sweet time getting her Spider-man, we planted a control chip on her. So that you may kill each other in battle, isn't that glorious?" Green Goblin laughed.
"Osborn, so help me, you will pay!" he threatened.
"You will face all of us Spider-man! Consider this another part of the challenge to the hunt." He added.
All three charged at Spider-man. He tried to fight Goblin, but kept getting overpowered by Chun Li and Kraven strength. Chun Li remained motionless as Spider-man called out to her, but he was constantly being pushed around by Green Goblin, Kraven and Chun Li.
He found himself to the wall breathing heavily taken so much punishment. Pushed to the limit, he decided to go on the offense. He pinned Chun Li and Kraven in very thick webbing. Green Goblin shot energy blast from his gauntlets. When he threw pumpkin bomb, Spider-man redirected the attack.
He started beating Green Goblin savagely in angry rage.
"Yes, yes, yes! That's right Spider-man, release all your rage. Take me from this earth." Goblin taunted.
He halted his attack fearing if he goes further. He will regret it later. Deep down, he did not want to repeat his past mistake.
Spider-man took a deep breath, "I know what you're planning Osborn, but it won't work, not this time."
Spider-man took Chun Li and swung out of the building. He felt if he beat him even further, he'll kill him again. Spider-man could not take his chance of being consumed by hatred. Green Goblin wiped the blood from his mouth, still weak. Kraven had already left, Goblin could not help but feel contempt for his defeat rather then rage. "This isn't over Spider-man."
The next day Peter visited the New York cemetery. He offered flowers to Gwen Stacey's grave, still felt guilty for failing to save her. He still felt love and remorse for Gwen.
"I should have known I'd find you here." Chun Li spotted.
"Should you be in bed resting?" he asked with concern.
Chun Li placed flowers around Gwen's grave, "Don't worry about me, that chip didn't leave too much on me. I assume this must be the girl."
"Yeah, she was one of my first loves. I never forgiven myself for letting her die." he reminded.
Chun Li placed her hand on Peter's shoulder and reminded, "Forgive and forget Peter, you can't change the past. I'm sure if she was with you right now she would want you to move forward to live your life to the fullest. And besides I'm always here for you."
