The Norrisville high talent show is underway! And despite what happened last time, Theresa Fowler AKA spider gal was determined to make up for auditions! There was one thing that had kept getting in her way however….
"Ugh I am so sick of Marko!" She groaned as she and her friends waited in line for auditions. "He's practically robbed every Bank in town and used almost every trick in the book! Twice!" "I'm sure he didn't use EVERY trick in the book!" Dave replied. "Oh really? Let me recap…"
Flashback 1:
Theresa was walking back home from school when she spotted an armored truck full of cash dashing away with the cops behind it, she quickly donned her spider gal persona and chased after it. There she encountered flint Marko driving the van. "Hey buddy, can you drop me off at jail? My friend Flint Marko is there!" Spider gal quipped then grabbed Marko and webbed him to the top of the truck before taking the wheel to prison. "Oh wait you're Flint Marko aren't you?"
Flashback 2:
Spider gal crawled through the sewer system before crawling out of a hole leading to the inside of a bank vault, where Flint Marko was stuffing a bag full of cash. "Pop! Goes the spider!" Spider gal quipped before webbing Flint to a wall.
Flashback 3:
Theresa was standing in line at the bank with her mom, before noticing Marko outside trying to break open an ATM, she groaned before asking her mom to go to the restroom and leaving to change into her superhero persona. Outside Flint continued to try and break the ATM open with a crowbar, "ahem…" the crook turned around seeing spider gal, arms crossed and a look of annoyance on her face. "Oh spider gal!" He began hastily, "I uh… this isn't what it looks like, I was… returning this crowbar back to the… truck! That fell out of…" spider gal simply webbed Marko to the wall.
"Ok that last one was just plain ridiculous!" Theresa continued, "oh Theresa!" The cheerleader turned, seeing both Randy and Howard dressed in punk rock getup, "oh hey Randy, you're in the talent show too?" "Sure Theresa! We plan to blow away the judges with our Bruce band…" the two freshmen then raised two instruments, Randy had a guitar and Howard had a drum set and sticks. "30 SECONDS TO MATH!" "Wait, weren't you guys judges last time?" Julian asked, "they were but Howard took the stage and kinda rejected most of the contestants, myself included…" Theresa growled, looking specifically at Howard. "Hey in my defense, Randy was the nice judge and I was the mean judge!" Howard defended, "and besides, we got banned for being judges afterwards so that's not gonna happen again!"
Suddenly, the screen on the TV flashed on, showing Heidi, at the back of the school. "H sizzle here, looks like both the ninja and spider gal gotta talent show up!" She announced as both flint Marko and the green goblin made their way with a bunch of cash. "The green goblin's stealing the spotlight and the money!" "Goblin, you just crossed the line…." Theresa growled, "I got to go…" she quickly rushed over towards the most secluded place to change into you-know-who.
At the back of the school, the green goblin and their henchmen had attacked the school with pounds of cash in their hands. "I'm starting to like you, Greene!" Marko commented gleefully. "What can I say?" The green goblin replied, "I'm a goblin for all seasons!" "Really? Cuz that outfit says otherwise!" The two villains looked above seeing spider gal on the roof. "Spider gal! Your timing is impeccable!" The green goblin snarked. "Took the words right out of my mouth gobbie! Is that a felony?" Spider gal quipped, "I hope so this little goblin would be caught dead committing a misdemeanor!" The green goblin then hurdled a pumpkin bomb directly at spider gal.
The arachnid superhero quickly jumped and avoided the bomb strike. "Now how's about I introduce you to my new razor bats!" The goblin threw new bat-like razor boomerangs at the vigilante, she quickly dodged them and web zipped straight towards the goblin and kicked them in the face and knocked them off their glider.
The green goblin arose from the ground, looking all the more menacing. Two police officers immediately arrived, "Hold it right there!" One yelled, raising their hands. "I surrender!" The green goblin lied raising their hands, before grabbing the officers and throwing them away like rag dolls. Spider gal quickly jumped and web grabbed them by the back, "now gobbie I got some things to get back to so if we could just wrap this up I'll save you an extra large butt whooping ok?" Suddenly Marko came from behind and grabbed spider gal by the cape, "hey! Who's grabbing who?" She replied then kicked the crook in the stomach before the goblin slashed the webs and threw another pumpkin bomb and making their escape, alongside marko. "See? If you did that earlier I wouldn't have to knock you off your toy!" Spider gal replied, then web zipped away.
At an abandoned facility, the green goblin, alongside their henchmen flint Marko, were recovering from the defeat by spider gal. "Two bags full of cash and they slip through our fingers!" Marko growled, "never mind that, my plan is still underway." The green goblin replied, slightly irritated. "What even is your plan anyway?" Marko complained, only for the goblin to growl at him, making the criminal step back fearfully. "That's on a need to know basis, and right now, you don't." "You know boss, one thing I don't understand is, why do you wear that mask, and why a goblin?" "Well when I was younger my father used to tell me stories about goblins and how they were a symbol of fear…" the green goblin then closed in on their henchmen. "I want this face to be the last thing my enemies see…."
Back at the school, Theresa was second to next in line for auditions. Where bash and his bros were singing their "who are my Bros? Yo! We're you're bros yo!" Song over and over until bash smashed his turntables. "Incoherent, babbling, you're in the talent show!" Bash immediately cheered before throwing his mic at the rest of the contestants. "Up next is… Morgan and her dancing fish!" Soon came Morgan, she was tall with dark green eyes long Red Violet hair tied in a large ponytail, she was dressed in a light blue top that exposed her midriff and wore dark blue pants that had one sleeve rolled up and dark blue sneakers along with red bands on her wrists. She was joined by her dancing fish, a group of teens dressed in hip hop outfits. "This is a dance dedicated to like spider gal and her movements…" Theresa smirked at that announcement, given that she's spider gal. Morgan then demonstrated her dancing skills; they were so vibrant and electrifying, with excellent spinning and movement. "Interesting Morgan, but not perfect enough…" Morgan simply groaned in anger before storming off.
Theresa clenched her baton anxiously, "next is Theresa Fowler and her amazing twirling sticks!" That was her cue! Theresa gulped and warrily started scaling the stairs…
She stood there motionless before taking a deep breath and began twirling both her batons amazingly, the judges however were not impressed. "Not very amazing Miss Fowler…" the cheerleader immediately tensed before realizing something: she has superpowers! She then got an idea…
Theresa began flipping with her twirling sticks, twirling around with them like a hurricane and spun them around while she balanced herself with one hand! The arachnid superhuman then finishes it off with all three sticks, two in her hands and one on her head while doing the splits. "Hmmm, impressive!" The girl smiled gleefully. The plan worked like a charm!
At mcfist industries, Flint Marko, disguised as a janitor, had gone down the corridors and seen one of viceroy's experiments.
Just then mcfist himself busted through viceroy's lab, where the scientist was working on a large machine. "What's with the giant laser viceroy?" He asked, "I told you that if I wanted to destroy the ninja and spider gal we needed to go bigger!" "You didn't tell me that…" "WELL I JUST DID!" "As for these nano machines, they're my latest plan to destroy the ninja and spider gal!" "YOU MEAN MY PLAN TO DESTROY THE NINJA AND SPIDER GAL!" "Do you even know what your plan is?" "Of course I know! It's um…" "anyway… this particle accelerator is designed to generate enough energy to disassemble an entire body," viceroy continued, "all we need to do is to get the ninja and spider's attention and lure them into spring the trap!"
Outside Flint Marko heard everything and was intrigued… particle accelerator? He could sell it on the black market and make hundreds! It's genius! The crook quietly snuck in, trying to blend into the background, but once they were gone he snatched the weapon and made a break for it.
Unfortunately mcfist ordered the alarm and sent out his robo apes, Marko took off his disguise and ran away with the weapon in hand the robotic hoard chased him through the facility until they reached the particle accelerator testing room where it was filled foot deep in sand. "Stand back, you metallic baboons!" Marko growled, aiming the particle accelerator at the robo apes. "I don't know how this thing works, but that doesn't mean I don't know how to use it!" Just as he was about to fire, the weapon suddenly malfunctioned and sparked electricity, the criminal quickly dropped it due to it burning his hands, the machine hit the ground and electrocuted both the sand and Marko, the green sweatered criminal were electrocuted as the sand swarmed around him, "what- what's happening?" He panicked, Marko felt slight pain as the sand circled around him, he suddenly felt grainy and itchy, he looked at his hands and to his horror, they were turning grainy and sand-like! "Argh! It hurts!" His body began to crumble away into dust, soon mcfist and viceroy came to the scene and were horrified by the whole thing, "make it stop, MAKE IT STOP!" The crook screamed in agony as body crumbled into dust, leaving nothing but a pile of sand.
"What just happened?!" McFist yelled, outraged. "It appears that Mr Marko has used an untested weapon that backfired horribly!" Viceroy replied dryly. "Wait, how come he turned into sand?" "Because it was the last thing he touched before turning into… that…." Mcfist gagged looking at what's left of flint Marko. "Get rid of it!" The robo apes quickly scooped up the sand and dumped it outside. "Why do we even have a room filled with sand in the first place?" Viceroy groaned, "for the mcgolf course of course!"
Outside, the sand was dumped into an alleyway outside mcfist industries. Suddenly it started to move and wiggle, as if it was alive… it tried to rise and take form but it failed, and again and again… eventually through it managed to keep its body steady, soon the body formed arms and legs then a head before it opened its eyes. They were pitching black illuminated by green glowing dots. It's mouth opened with strings of sand sticking to it. The body was horrified by its heinous transformation, it roared in anger before it realized something: if its body is made of sand, then it can't be hurt! It's basically invincible! This little transformation may be more of a blessing than a curse! Now if only it could get its old body back… that's when the sand's body began to slim down and revert back into its old body: flint Marko…
The next day at school, Theresa had a chat with her friends about yesterday, "so I used my spidey skills to get in the talent show!" She began, "but it's not like I cheated! I mean bash uses his natural talents so figured that I use mine!" "Yeah but those talents of your's aren't exactly natural…" Dave replied worriedly, "not to mention that they have a chance of exposing you for being well you know…" Theresa groaned knowing that Dave was right, those moves might make someone suspect her of the arachnid vigilante. Unfortunately it was already too late as Debbie kang eavesdropped on their conversation and wrote down notes.
After school and work, spider gal swung through the streets of Norrisville on her daily patrol, all the while thinking to herself about the whole thing. "Ok sure I went a little arachnid style on my act, but that doesn't count as cheating right?" She asked herself, "I mean sure it's a little irresponsible but I don't need to make a big deal out of it, right?" Suddenly her train of thought was halted by the sound of an explosion at the bank. "Finally! Something to take my mind off things!" The arachnid then web zipped straight to the scene.
At the bank, flint Marko came out with two duffle bags full of cash in his hands. "Alright Marko, this is just getting old!" Spider gal said, weaving down to the criminal. "I suppose it IS getting rather old…." Marko replied sinisterly, dropping both of his bags. "Fortunately for you, old flint Marko's ain't the same guy he once was…." He then raised his arms outward, "in fact, I'll let you have the first punch!" The arachnid then hopped down with a confused look on her face. "Really? Huh! Well that's generous!" "Smoke bomb!" The ninja appeared once more next to the arachnid vigilante, "ninja! Get this, Marko says he's changed and he's letting me whoop his butt!" She recapped, "Really?" The ninja asked, confused. "Sure, how about we cut to the chase!" Spider gal then cracked her knuckles and went in for her punch but once she did, she was shocked by what happened after: instead of simply punching Marko in the stomach, her fist simply went right through him! "What just…."
"Happened?" Marko replied sinisterly then spat spider gal's fist out, then turned his hands into giant maces before swinging at both of the heroes, they immediately jumped but were caught by a giant sandy hand, brought out by Marko, and slammed to the ground. "You got your butts kicked by ME that's what happened!" Marko chuckled proudly, his body then distorted into a large sand monster. "And the name's SANDMAN!"
"That is wrong on SO many levels!" Spider gal gagged before swing kicking right into the monster, only for her foot to get caught by flint Marko, now calling himself sandman, he then turned into a sand tornado and threw out the hero, spider gal quickly got up and tried web shooting but nothing came out, "oh no…." She said to herself worriedly, "nononono! Not a good time to run out of—" Sandman quickly slammed spider gal into a butcher shop window, causing it to break and leave her covered in meat. "Web fluid…."
Sandman grinned as he approached the arachnid hero, with one of his hands turning into a giant mace. "Looks like our little feud's reached its end, spider punk!" The villain replied sinisterly before raising his hand before turning around, seeing the ninja latching onto his hand. "My turn! Ninja air fist!" The ninja then conjured a light blue fist made out of the wind and blasted it directly at the sandman, blowing him to chunks of sand. "Ugh, thanks for the help…." Spider gal groaned, getting back up and recovering from her ordeal with the sandman. "So is he dead or…?" Spider gal's question was quickly answered by the remains of sandman reforming back into the monster. "Nice shot kid…" he replied smugly, turning back into his human form. "But not good enough! Now while I'd love to keep using you two as my punching bags, I've got business to take care of!" He then turned into a pile of sand and slithered down a storm drain. "Did we just get our butts kicked by sand…?" Spider gal asked. "On the bright side he just left behind his money!" The ninja replied before hearing the sandman's voice. "Oh SON OF A—"
The next day at school, Theresa walked with her classmates, chatting about what happened with Marko. "So let me get this straight, flint Marko, the most common criminal you ever fought kicked YOUR butt this time!?" Juilan gasped, "yes… flint Marko or 'the sandman' he's calling himself now… just got his own super powers and whooped my butt!" Theresa growled, angry from her humiliating fight with the sandman. "Which is VERY ironic now that you think about it!" "What is very ironic?" The klub flinched upon hearing someone asking them intriguingly, they turned around and saw Debbie kang with a smug look on her face. "Uh that story from Miss Ringwald's class!" Theresa lied hastily. "Riiight…." Debbie replied suspiciously, still with the smug look. "You know those moves of yours are pretty neat… almost like spider gal's moves…." Theresa felt a chill of anxiety dash down her spine, she just had to use those moves during the auditions! "Me? Spider gal? Ha yeah right!" Theresa laughed, slightly. "I'm the furthest thing from spider gal!" "Really?" "Look Debbie, just because me and spider gal have similar moves doesn't make us the same person!" Theresa replied, "True, but one similarity can open up a whole string of others…." Debbie pointed out. "Like for example you two have the same voice and smugness and line of bad jokes!" "It's hard to think of good jokes when you're in danger, ok!" Theresa yelled before realizing what she just said, "I mean for spider gal of course!" She added, Debbie simply hmmd and walked away writing in her notepad, "great…." Theresa groaned, this wasn't good….
Back at the goblin's lair, the green villain had been experimenting with the stank and loading them into small containers. "So far so good… you won't know what hit you spider gal…." They said sinisterly. Suddenly one of the pipes had busted open and a swarm of sand flooded the ground, "What in?" The sand then reformed into flint Marko. "Hey boss, do you like my new trick?" He asked smugly. "Marko?! What the hell happened to you?!" The goblin demanded, "I got a major revamp, that's what happened!" The crook replied proudly. "Hmm this might work out in our favor! Marko, I need you to do something important!" The green goblin ordered. "What'll it be, boss?" Marko replied sinisterly….
At mcfist industries, the superhuman girl was working on a sample of sandman, courtesy of it being filled in her costume. "Looks like his DNA was hit with some kind of high energy…." She said to herself. How did Marko get those sand powers? Did he get exposed to some radioactive sand or something? Whatever happened, she needed to stop the sandman! "I heard that Marko suddenly got his own superpowers…" said Dr Connors, "yeah…" Theresa replied, occupied by what she was doing. "Still don't know how to stop something made of sand…." Then she remembered something: he's made of sand! She could use that to her advantage! And she might know one way of stopping him.
At Norrisville high, the accepted candidates for the talent show had arrived for the show. Theresa was practicing with her twirling sticks all the while anxious and scared about what happened with Debbie. 'Ok Fowler, just do your thing and don't go spider….' she thought, it was then that she heard her name being called she turned seeing randy and Howard in their punk rock attire, "oh hey Randy… I see you got into the talent show too…." She said awkwardly. "Y-yeah… we're making it the most Bruce band of all time!" Randy replied proudly, "say you wanna join us? We got a keytar!" Howard immediately interrupted the two, "absolutely not Cunningham!" He argued, "Fowler is a girl and girls have no place in our band!" "Hey! Heidi's a girl and she's in a band!" Theresa retaliated, "I said that girls have no place in our band!" "C'mon Howard! At least give her a chance!" Randy argued, "Up next is Theresa Fowler and her amazing twirling sticks!" "We'll talk later about this…." Theresa replied, then went to the stage.
"So what do you think will happen when Theresa finds out you're the ninja?" Howard asked, "Don't know, but I know one thing it's gonna be REALLY awkward…." "Ahem to that…" Howard replied, "do you think that she knows that you know?" "Doubt it, every time I ask her where she's been when spider gal comes she gives me the same excuses." Randy replied, to be honest he was still worried about her, their first encounter with sandman was way too close for comfort. If the ninja didn't come and interrupt their sandy advocacy at the last moment then… well let's not go down that rabbit hole….
Out on stage, Theresa had stood there, shivering like a leaf from stage fright. She took a deep breath but just as she was about to begin… "AHH! SAND MONSTER!" The girl looked upwards and saw none other than sandman in his monster form, roaring at the audience. Everyone screamed in fear as sandman morphed into a monstrous wolf like creature and pounced onto the stage and roared at the people Theresa ran backstage while being watched by Debbie kang.
At the stage, the sandman morphed back into his human form and chuckled. "Gets 'em every time!" The mutant sand then dissolved into a guest of sand particles and swam into the air vents.
On the top of the school, the sandman emerged from the vent and pulled out a pack-like object with containers full of stank and placed it on the bell tower. Just then spider gal arrived on the scene, "Yo Marko! What's with the toy?" She demanded, "curiosity of my friend nanya!" "Nanya?" "Nanya business kiddo!" Sandman then turned into a snake-like monster and pounced at the arachnid hero. She quickly turned as the sandman splattered into a pile of sand and morphed into a swarm of tentacles that wrapped around the webhead and raised her in the air. "Smoke bomb!" The ninja then swooped in and sliced the tentacles apart and freed her companion, "slice to see ya again sandman!" The ninja joked, "Hey who's doing the jokes here?" Spider gal commented. Sandman then reformed into his human form while his legs remained a whirlwind of sand. "I don't have time for this, kids, my work's done here anyway!" The crook then blew through the skies with the two heroes following suit.
The chase led them around town where sandman had placed multiple versions of the same packs on different buildings. Eventually their chase led them to a construction site. Sandman was quickly kicked and left on the ground. "Of course they follow me!" He groaned, returning to his human form. "There's got to be a way I can crush…" he then noticed that he was surrounded by multiple trucks and bags, all of them full of sand. "Those oughta do!" He then concentrated as the sand flooded around him and circled around his body….
The two heroes arrived and started looking for their sandy foe. "How are we supposed to find a guy made of sand in a construction site?" The ninja asked before a hurricane of sand surrounded them and formed a 50ft tall version of the monsterized sandman, with several tentacles wrapped around the unfinished building. "Found him…." Spider gal squeaked.
"Let's see how many seconds you last with me now!" Sandman echoed, then readied himself for the punch. The two quickly dodged the sandman's attack, as well as fended themselves against sandman's tentacles. "Any ideas on how to stop this creep?!" The ninja panicked, "you're lucky I do!" Spider gal yelled, "but you're not gonna like it!" "What's that supposed to mean!?" "Just get your fire ball ready when I give the signal!" Spider gal then quickly hopped towards sandman, only for him to eat her. "Spider gal!" The ninja shrieked before spider gal's head popped up briefly. "Just trust me…" The tentacles sucked her back into sand, the ninja then realized what his partner was planning….
Inside, spider gal tumbled around in the sandman's body. "This. Is. Worse. Than. The beach!" She screamed.
"Now look Marko, I get you're not exactly a good person but teaming up with the goblin's just going too far!" The webhead retaliated, "I mean didn't like your dad tell you to be a good person?" Sandman then formed a head inside the monster's belly. "My dad's the reason why I'm a criminal in the first place!" He screamed before realizing what he just said but it already caught the arachnid's attention. "What…?" She asked, the sandman sighed, realizing that it was too late, the head then sunk back in and flint Marko rose forward. "Look kid, there are things that I don't wanna talk about, like to anyone." He groaned. "Maybe you can make an exception?" Spider gal asked, "to you? Yeah right!" "Come on Marko, if you keep holding back on things like that it's gonna make you bitter for the rest of your life!" "What if I want to be bitter, you know like privacy?" "You already told me that your dad made you a criminal!" Sandman sighed, admitting his defeat then released his advocacy and sat next to him, making the sand monster fall apart.
"It all started with dear old dad." Sandman began. "When I was just a kid, my family ran a sand shop in New York City. It wasn't much but it was paying the bills, but dad thought it was going nowhere, he wanted more in life, he wanted to be a powerful member of the mob. And his wish came true, he was made with a very powerful man, so powerful that he just went by the name: kingpin. His true identity remained shrouded in mystery and to this day it still does! And those who did and those who went searching just disappeared… As my dad climbed his way up the totem pole, it took a toll on our business and our family, what once was an innocent sand shop turned into a front for hiding cocaine in it. Mom couldn't stand it anymore and left the shop and our lives forever. Me on the other hand I didn't want to let my dad down, so as I got older, I followed in his footsteps, but that turned into a burden rather than a ascet, every chance I could to impress him slipped through my fingers… like sand. He blamed me for his screw ups and like a sand castle, crumbled any respect I had with him. Unfortunately the kingpin wasn't happy with him screwing up too many times, the next thing you know he's six feet under a sand trap, pretty ironic now that I'm saying it out loud… I vowed to avenge him and make any big score I could make and prove to him that I'm not a screwup but like my chances with dad, it slipped through my fingers…."
Spider gal was silent by what had happened, and to think all this time she thought that Marko was just some common criminal just doing crimes for fun, but no, instead his horrible father gave him the impression that crime does pay! Maybe it's time to give him some actual advice. "Look Marko- err flint. I'm sorry about how your life went down the toilet…." Spider gal began, "Don't be, I already chose my path a long time ago…." Sandman replied. "You didn't make that path, your dad did." Spider gal confronted him, placing her hand on his shoulder. "Look, everyone wants to live up to their parents' expectations but those aren't always bright and perfect. If anything you're in one business that you'd want to get out of!" "So what are you suggesting? That I'd just give up?!" Sandman argued, "no I'm suggesting that you chose your own path instead of going down someone else's." Spider gal corrected. "Try to give it a thought when you get the chance, ok?" Sandman smiled. "Say, can you do me a favor first?"
The ninja arrived with his hot balls out and ready. "Spider gal! I'll save…" he then noticed that his partner was completely fine and that sandman was gone! "Uh, what the juice happened when I was gone?" "Let's just say that I've made a frenemy…."
At the school Debbie got all the evidence she needed and with Heidi and other reporters, she was about to expose the true identity of spider gal once and for all! "There she is, guys!" Debbie said proudly pointing to Theresa calmly cleaning her baton, while her friends were stressed out about being exposed. "Uh Theresa, you think that we should probably make a way out of this situation…?" Juggo urged. "Relax, I got it covered!" Theresa replied calmly, "are you sure because it looks like Debbie's got us cornered…." Juilan replied, "Oh Heya, Debbie!" Theresa replied. "Nice to see you again Fowler… or should I say spider gal!" Debbie announced proudly as Heidi recorded. "That's right H hub!" Heidi announced. "The spectacular spider gal is none other than 10th grader Theresa Fowler!" "Debbie we've been over this! I'm not spider gal!" "There's no use in hiding it, Fowler! I've got you out in the open!" "Oh really?" "Really!" "Then who's that?" Theresa pointed at the window and to Debbie and everyone else's surprise, a silhouette that looked exactly like spider gal appeared! The silhouette waved at them before web zipping away. "But I— and you—" Debbie stuttered, "well it looks like all we've got here is a liar liar pants on fire!" Heidi announced, disappointed. Debbie growled before throwing her notepad in a fit of rage. "That eight legged trickster duped me again!" "Well it looks like you and Howard have one thing in common!" Theresa commented. Debbie only yelled in anger before stopping away.
"So how did you do that!?" Juilan asked surprised, "Let's just say I had a frenemy to help out… oh here comes Randy's act!" Everyone turned around as the duo arrived and rocked out with their performance: 'detention deficit disorder'.
Later on spider gal arrived on a rooftop where she met with sandman that turned out to be the fake spider gal shapeshifting into her to fool the rest of the school. The arachnid then took off her mask. "So that's what you look like under your costume!" Sandman remarked, morphing back into his human form. "Just don't tell anyone! I really appreciate it, Marko!" Spider gal replied putting her mask back on. "Don't worry your secret's safe with me!" Sandman replied calmly. "Just don't tell my boss ok?" He then dissolved and flew into the night. "Wait! What's your boss's plan!?" Unfortunately it was too late and the sandman had escaped again.
The next day, Randy and Howard were examining the photos Randy took while pursuing sandman. "So you're saying that this green goblin now has a superpowered villain at his side?!" Howard yelled, "I'm more concerned about what those things he was installing on those buildings!" Randy replied, what was the green goblin up to? What were those devices, all he knows right now is that those things can't come off. He tried using every weapon in his arsenal but not even his fireball could do that! Whatever the goblin had planned it wasn't good….
