Chapter 3: Shrine:

Kai's POV:

When I was walking, I saw Sixsix and Queen Bee. They were up to something. The two entered this warehouse. I decided to follow them.

. . .

I saw the two, with Charmcaster and Darkstar and they were all with this girl. "I can't save you four all the time," she said, "but at least you got me the webshooters. With these and the chemicals, my plan will be complete!"

"And we will be rewarded, right," asks Charmcaster.

"Of course," says the girl, "now, I'm going to work on the project. You four can do whatever but stay out of my private room!"

"I don't care what you do in there," says Darkstar. They all left, and this girl went into this lab. That private room could tell me what her plan is.

. . .

I entered the private room and saw something horrible! All the walls were covered with pictures of Ben! It was way too disturbing. I saw one picture, it looked like someone's head was removed... then I realized, this was a picture of me with Ben! I gotta get out of here!

"I did say this room was off limits!" I turned around and saw that girl.

"I... uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh..."

"Kai Green, right?"

"Yeah..."

"So nice to finally meet you. I'm Elena Validus. So, like my artwork?"

"It's... interesting," I said.

"I'm so glad you like it," says Elena, "because you are never going to leave!" She then turns to this black thing with tentacles. I then screamed...

Ben's POV:

Gwen, Kevin, and me were talking with Spider-Man.

"This could be connected with the crime Charmcaster and Darkstar did," I said.

"Of course," says Spider-Man, "I heard there was a break in at this chemistry lab! Someone plans to use my webshooters to spread whatever it is they stole!"

Then Mei came in with another note. I picked it up. "Just the mention of your name makes me feel like I'm in Heaven!" Who is this?

"What's that you got there," asks Spider-Man.

"Probably some other cheesy love note from his secret admirer," says Kevin.

"Really," asks Spider-Man.

"It's not that big a deal," I said, "Mei, stop accepting letters from strangers!"

Mei's picking her nose.

Then Kai enters. "Ben, you gotta come with me, quick," says Kai, "it's urgent!"
