Spider-Man, Gabriel and Sarah stood helpless as the monstrous creatures surrounding them closed in for the kill. Sarah tried shooting the gems around the werewolves' necks, but, while they did shatter, they stayed on, for they were permanently grafted to their skin.

"What'll we do?" said Sarah. Spider-Man caught sight of a samurai sword on the wall.

"Sarah," he said, "you and Gabriel take the gems off their necks."

"But they're grafted on there." said Gabriel.

"Trust me." Spidey said. They reluctantly did so, and when they reverted to humanoid form there were no neck wounds.

"How did you know that would work?" said Sarah.

"I saw that one of them had a scrape on their face, which disappeared when he turned into one of those Man-Wolf things."

"Clever." said Gabriel.

"Of course it is," said Spider-Man, "now to take care of the Carrions." he shot a web to grab the sword, "I wish I didn't have to do this to you." he said to the zombies before sullenly swinging the sword at their necks. All that is shown on camera is the bodies of a few Carrions falling to the ground (from the neck down). He did the same thing to the other zombies, each swing with more and more sullenness until his mask was damp with tears.

"Now what about the Brains?" said Sarah. Without answering Spider-Man hit a button with a web ball, shutting all the robots down. Tinkerer tried turning it back on, but Spider-Man webbed him up.

"You two stay here incase Mysterio has anymore monsters hidden away." said Spider-Man, "I'll handle Aunt May." And with that, Spider-Man ran towards Aunt May's cell.

When he arrived there, he found Aunt May, still attached to the guillotine.

"Don't worry," said Spider-Man as he tried to get her free, "I'll get you out of here." However, before he could free up her neck, Mysterio showed up.

"Stand down, Spider-Man." said he said as he dropped down his hypno-watch. Spider-Man reluctantly took his hands off the guillotine.

"You've lost, Spider-Man." Mysterio went on, "This could've turned out differently. We could've been a team and I would've spared you and the woman. But you chose the path of a hero. A path which, while I'm on guard, leads to madness." He almost pushed the button, but Spider-Man tackled him, but Mysterio instantly threw him off, "As I was saying, you chose the path to madness." he pushed the button on the watch, but something was wrong: Mysterio was the one who doubled over in pain.

"What's going on?" said Mysterio. Spider-Man did not respond with words, but instead held up a small clump of wire and scaly cloth.

"But how are you unaffected?" Spider-Man took off his mask, revealing not only his secret to his aunt, but also the ear protectors in his ears.

"I also put some more discreet ones in Aunt May's ears." said Peter. Mysterio, however, was most likely not listening, for the sound of the watch was getting louder. tick, tock, tick, tock, each tick causing Mysterio more mental pain until he couldn't take it anymore and put the gun he had stolen from Gabriel (off-screen) to the glass, smoke filled dome. He pulled the trigger and just as the shot cut to Peter and Aunt May the sound of shattered glass, metal and skull rang through the room. Peter was mortified.

"I caused this." he said over Mysterio's dead body bloody face partially exposed, "If I hadn't taken that relay wire he wouldn't have shot himself."

"No one could have anticipated how powerful that frequency could be, Peter." said Aunt May, "It's not your fault."

"Thanks for the consolation, Aunt May. And when we get home I have some explaining to do. A lot of explaining."

"So let me get this straight," said Aunt May, "those wounds you came home with every night when you were a teenager was because you're Spider-Man, and you were keeping it a secret for your loved ones' safety. Then Harry's father was the Green Goblin and died in battle. Then Harry blamed you and tried to kill you. Then he died from an overdose of the Goblin serum."

"Yeah, you've got it right." said Peter, "I still can't believe I lost my best friend to such a stupid misunderstanding. Not to mention everything else he took from me over that."

"Peter, don't dwell on the dark past. Look ahead towards a bright future."

"You always knew exactly what to say and when to say it, Aunt May. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The film ends with Spider-Man swinging through the city at night, the Sun rising behind him. The streets of New York City are truly clean for the first time in years. At long last, for Peter Parker, all was well.

THE END

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is, indeed, the final installment in my main Spider-Man story series. However, this is not quite the end of my Spider-Man related stories. There will be more chapters in Venom 2 and there will be a Venom 3. There is also going to be another story trilogy spun-off from this (I want to surprise you when it comes to what it is about). There is also in my mind's eye a whole bunch of other spin-offs (e.g. Iron Fist, Nightwatch, Black Cat, Cloak and Dagger, etc.), essentially creating a Spider-Man cinematic (technically literary but I'm theorizing cinema) universe, which could also be an expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I may also theorize other major motion pictures of my interest, with my current idea being Transformers: Age of Extinction. I hope you've enjoyed what I've written so far and will enjoy what relative little I'll write in the future, I know I enjoyed writing them. Thank you for reading my stories. DFTBA, guys.
