Christopher weighed his options, considering the consequences of aiding either Doctor Octopus or Spider-Man in their conflict.

"If I help Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus will likely turn against me," he mused. "But if I assist Doctor Octopus, innocent lives on the train will be at risk."

He's not one to condone mass killings, but if there's significant gain involved, he might reluctantly consider it. However, in his current state of contentment, he chooses to rescue the travelers, feeling a sense of altruism.

Suddenly, an ingenious solution dawns on him, offering a potential resolution to the moral dilemma.

Christopher resolved to rescue Mary Jane, Spider-Man's girlfriend, from imminent danger. With her safe, Spider-Man would be free to confront Doctor Octopus without distraction. With Spider-Man's unparalleled agility, Doctor Octopus would be unable to pursue him effectively.

While Christopher contemplated his plan, the battle between Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man raged on the locomotive.

Recalling the pivotal scene from the movie, Christopher realized that Doctor Octopus, unhindered by any ulterior motives, would likely sabotage the train's systems, endangering the passengers aboard.

As Doctor Octopus was ejected from the train by Spider-Man's swift kick, he swiftly regained control by infiltrating the locomotive's cab and dispatching the driver.

With malicious intent, Doctor Octopus increased the train's speed and systematically disabled its braking and acceleration mechanisms, ensuring an inevitable collision.

Returning to the train's exterior, Doctor Octopus callously informed Spider-Man of his actions, relishing in the chaos he had wrought.

Spider-Man, overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation, faltered momentarily, allowing Doctor Octopus to seize the opportunity for a surprise attack.

With deadly precision, Doctor Octopus's mechanical tentacle lashed out, aiming for Spider-Man's heart. Yet, Spider-Man's heightened senses warned him of the impending danger, prompting a swift evasion to avoid a fatal strike.

Spider-Man agilely rolled and skillfully used his hands and feet to ascend into the damaged cab.

Observing the dire state of the cab, a worried expression crossed his face. "What should I do? What should I do? There are so many people on the train, how can I save them?"

As the train gained speed, the passengers aboard sensed something was amiss, causing panic to set in. Timid voices cried for help.

"Help!"

"Please...someone save my child."

"What should I do? If I jump out of the car, I'll fall to my death. If I don't jump, the car will be destroyed, and I'll be killed. What should I do? Who can tell me?"

"Hey, Police? I'm on the train. The train we're on has been destroyed by two monsters and is accelerating rapidly. Please come and save us quickly."

A chorus of desperate pleas filled the air.

The panicked cries, the sounds of despair, and the heartbreaking cry of a child left Christopher with no room for hesitation.

Christopher took control of the Optimus and propelled it towards the locomotive.

In an effort to halt the speeding train, Spider-Man positioned himself in front of the locomotive, leaped off, braced the front with his upper body, and landed on his feet.

The fixing bars in the middle of the rails snapped.

In a matter of seconds, Spider-Man, enduring the intense pressure, could no longer maintain his position. His feet were on fire, and he had to swiftly get up and cling to the front of the car.

"What? There's nothing we can do? If everyone on this train dies, it's your incompetence that killed them," gloated Doctor Octopus. Deliberately refraining from attacking Spider-Man, he wanted to witness Spider-Man's attempts to rescue the passengers.

Spider-Man brushed off Doctor Octopus's taunts. After a brief contemplation, he made a decision. He opened his hands, shooting out streaks of spider silk from the wrists of both hands.

The spider silk strained under the pressure.

Spider-Man refused to relent, shooting more webs to anchor himself to the adjacent buildings. Christopher arrived on the scene and directed Spider-Man to step aside, offering to handle the situation himself.

But Spider-Man, determined to assist, countered, "Let's tackle this together!"

Doctor Octopus, displeased by Christopher's continued involvement, questioned, "Are you still interested in cooperation?"

Christopher replied firmly, "The passengers are innocent," justifying his intervention. He then commanded the Optimus to land, seizing Spider-Man and tossing him into the cab to clear his path.

Positioning the Optimus against the locomotive, Christopher activated its jet system at full power, generating resistance to slow down the train. Despite his efforts, the train persisted in moving forward, prompting Christopher to instruct Spider-Man to disable the locomotive's systems.

Spider-Man, surprised by Christopher's knowledge of his identity, complied with the request, utilizing a wrench to dismantle the locomotive's components.

During the chaos, Doctor Octopus became perplexed by the unexpected turn of events. He reconsidered his stance, recognizing the formidable power of Christopher's mech and opting to prioritize rescuing the passengers over his feud with Spider-Man.

As Spider-Man continued to dismantle the train's systems, the powerless locomotive gradually came to a halt, aided by the obstruction provided by the Optimus.
