Sandman's Downfall

"DOMINATE UP!"

"GET! Grasshopper, gene mix."

As the driver announced, Parker's legs transformed into a new form.

They bent like grasshopper hind legs, imbued with incredible jumping power.

Parker's knees bent slightly, and he unleashed immense power the next moment.

Instantly, he leaped in front of Sandman, delivering a powerful kick.

Sandman's head shattered, scattering sand everywhere. Before Sandman could react, Parker struck again.

The combination of super speed and grasshopper-like jumping rendered Sandman defenseless.

As soon as Sandman tried to recover, another massive wound appeared.

The towering Sandman was now a heap of scattered sand, unable to launch effective attacks.

"So, will you surrender or continue to resist?"

Parker stood on a high wall, looking at the pile of sand and speaking calmly.

Sandman didn't respond but began moving toward an underground pipe.

He knew he was no match for Spider-Man now and decided to flee.

Parker noticed Sandman's movement and tried to stop him, but his kick only scattered the sand further, creating a large hole in the ground.

Sandman had already escaped into the underground.

Seeing the sewer entrance, Parker didn't hesitate and followed.

Parker noticed the sand beneath his feet seeping further underground inside the sewer.

He remembered that below was the New York subway.

Parker realized Sandman was using the subway tunnels to escape.

If Sandman got inside, it would be tough to catch him.

Thinking quickly, Parker pressed the sides of his driver again.

"ADD!"

He took out the Mole Vistamp. Like before, it glowed faintly green.

"Mole!"

The next moment, he pressed the stamp onto the driver.

"DOMINATE UP!"

"Mole, gene mix."

Parker's right arm began to be wrapped in dark red, tentacle-like material.

After a bright flash, his right arm had transformed into a powerful drill, green with dark red streaks, giving it a dangerous look.

The drill whirred to life, drilling through the ground.

Sandman was slowly moving through the subway tunnel.

He thought Spider-Man couldn't possibly follow him underground.

Sandman sensed something unusual as he walked and stopped, looking into the darkness.

He felt something was there but saw nothing.

Just as he turned around, Parker, in his Kamen Rider form, appeared upside down in front of him, hanging by a web.

Sandman was startled, stepping back.

The next moment, he reacted, turning his fist into sand and swinging at Parker.

Parker leaped to another wall, dodging the attack.

"I don't want to hurt you. Just give up."

Sandman retorted, "But I want to hurt you."

He swung his fist again.

Just then...

A subway train roared by, forcing Sandman to dodge.

Parker seized the moment, shooting two webs at Sandman.

Sandman dodged, and the webs attached to the speeding train.

Parker used the train's speed to launch himself at Sandman.

Caught off guard, Sandman was kicked several meters away, crashing to the ground.

Parker pursued, leaping in front of Sandman.

Sandman turned his legs to sand, kicking Parker hard.

Parker was thrown onto another track, and a train approached quickly.

Parker flipped away, shooting webs to swing through the tunnel.

Thinking Parker was hit by the train, Sandman looked at the tracks.

He didn't expect Parker to appear behind him.

Parker kicked Sandman into the speeding train.

Sandman rebounded and fell to the ground.

Parker walked up, grabbed Sandman's neck, and pressed him against the train.

"Ahhhhh!"

Sandman's face was ground away, revealing sand instead of flesh.

The train passed, leaving Sandman on the ground, furious.

"Damn you! I'll make you pay!"

Sandman summoned more sand, ramming his head into Parker.

Caught off guard, Parker stumbled back.

Sandman punched Parker's face.

Parker retaliated, punching Sandman hard.

Sandman's face shattered but quickly reformed.

Parker kept punching, cracking the ground.

Finally, Sandman turned entirely to sand, fleeing in another direction.

Parker didn't let up, following the sand.

As Sandman passed a puddle, his body, wet from the water, started to dissolve.

Seeing this, Parker smiled.

"So, you're afraid of water. That makes things easier."

Parker noticed a sewer pipe nearby.

An idea formed.

He pretended to chase Sandman, then jumped to the sewer pipe and drilled into it.

Water gushed out, flooding Sandman.

Instantly, Sandman's body began to disintegrate.

Panicking, Sandman shouted, "Help, help!"

Seeing this, Parker hesitated but eventually saved him.

The Gaia Memory separated from Sandman.

Parker webbed the Memory, securing it.

He left Sandman for the NYPD.

After delivering Sandman to the police, Parker returned to his room.

De-transforming, Parker lay on his bed, examining the Gaia Memory.

He wanted to understand it better.

"Ring, ring..."

His phone rang suddenly, startling him.

It was an unknown number.

Curious, he answered.

"Hello, Peter Parker, or should I call you Spider-Man? Or Kamen Rider Demons?"

Peter frowned, trying to think of who it could be.

How did they know his identity?

The voice continued, "Really? You forgot me so quickly? It's me, Iron Man. We worked together during the Amazon incident, remember?"

Peter was stunned. It was Iron Man.

"Are you Iron Man?"

"Who else would I be?"

"How did you know my identity? I never revealed it."
