Chapter 11: Spider-Man

August 7th, 1999

Earth - ?????????

20 Ingram St., Queens, New York.

In the middle of the night at around 11pm, a young man who appeared to be the age of 16 could be seen in a red, blue, and black spandex suit laying on top of a rackety suburban two story home.

The young man laying on his roof removed his mask. This boy is Peter Parker. Dark circles could be seen under his eyes, evidence of deep exhaustion. Peter has had an extremely terrible experience over the last year.

Being bitten by a radioactive spider and finding out his crush since boyhood; MJ, was dating his childhood friend Harry Osborne was bad enough, but he soon witnessed the brutal murder of his Uncle Ben at the hands of a man he could've stopped.

The only thing that kept Peter going was his aunt May, seeking revenge against the man with a star tattoo, and his two friends: Ned Leeds and Gwen Stacy.

Ever since the night his uncle was murdered, he decided he would take matters into his own hands. With his enhanced spider powers and superior intellect, he was able to develop and devise a suit and web shooters capable of fully unleashing the potential of his powers.

With those complete, Peter spent his nights listening in on police radios and catching criminals hoping to find the tattooed man that killed his uncle.

During the day, he was interning at Oscorp; making a paltry amount of money to help Aunt May with the bills.

Between the internship and the constant patrols at night, Peter was exhausted despite his superhuman powers. Gazing up at the stars, Peter lost track of the time.

Hearing a car pull up next to his house, he was startled. Looking over the ridge of his roof, he spotted a dark green muscle car that screamed wealth. Recognizing it as Harry Osborne's car, he was depressed; especially when he saw MJ step out to embrace and kiss Harry. Feeling a pit form in his stomach, Peter quietly made his way into his bedroom window.

Taking off his suit and flopping on his bed depressingly, Peter sighed loudly before trying to get rest for work tomorrow. He prayed nothing bad happened to Dr. Connors, as he hasn't been responding to his calls or texts since he gave the research he found in his fathers belongings to him.

Drifting off to sleep, Peter, instead of the usual vibrant red image of MJ he sees when he closes his eyes; oddly found himself subconsciously replacing her with his friend Gwen instead. With a slight smile upon his lips, Peter fell asleep for the first time in 4 days.

After 13 hours of sleep, Peter was awoken through the blaring police alarm and the shouting at the door.

"Peter! What is that?! Are you alright?!," A distraught female voice could be heard on the other side of the door.

Leaping up from his bed and shooting a web from his synthetic web shooter at the police radio silencing it, he then answered back, "I'm alright, sorry Aunt May, I must have left the radio on last night while I was asleep," Peter said thinking of an excuse as fast as possible.

"Okay, well, make sure to get plenty of rest. It's a Saturday, and your only day off from that internship. There's lunch in the fridge, I'm going out to shop. I want you well rested, young man. You've been looking awfully tired lately," Aunt May said to Peter.

"Yes, Aunt May. Thanks, love ya," Peter said to his aunt after giving a breath of relief.

After hearing his aunt get in her car and drive away, Peter immediately peeled the webs off from his police scanner and turned it back on.

Usually, the police scanner wouldn't be making that much noise at noon on a Saturday, no matter how crazy New York gets sometimes, he thought.

With that in mind, he turned the radio back on, and what he heard stunned him.

"WE NEED ALL UNITS ON THE WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE! REPEAT, ALL UNITS ON THE WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE! HEAVY CIVILIAN CASUALTIES! SOME SORT OF MUTANT GIANT IS ON A RAMPAGE KILLING CIVILIANS. I REPEAT, ALL AVAILABLE UNITS TO WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE!," a blaring message was coming from the radio on a loop.

In the middle of the message, Peter was already suited up. With the final sentence of the message, he raced out his window in full regalia, making sure not to be seen.

Swinging his way through Queens and Brooklyn, he finally arrived at the Williamsburg bridge that connected Manhattan and Brooklyn. The scene depicted before Spider-Man was hell itself. From a quick estimate, at least 50 cars were halfway submerged in the East River. He could see people escaping their cars while others were slowly sinking and banging on their windows, begging for help.

Gunshots were ringing all throughout the bridge. Hundreds of civilians were running off the bridge, trampling each other. A police barricade could be seen escorting the civilians into Brooklyn safely while also helping the trampled civilians. News anchors and vans were everywhere, filming the carnage unfolding.

Seeing cars being thrown into the river from a distance, Spider-Man immediately sprang into action. Swinging over to the bridge, he shot a web at every car that needed help. Pulling the cars up so they weren't submerged, he then stuck them to the side of the bridge.

Saving as many people as he could, he was also paying attention to what was causing the problem in the first place.

Getting his first good look at the monster, he was honestly terrified. Standing at around 12'6, a giant Lizardman could be seen trampling civilians and throwing cars that were in his way off the bridge.

Hundreds of gunshot wounds littered his body, but they were closing fast and healing at an unbelievable rate. Body parts were scattered around in every direction, and the tarred bridge ground was caked in a layer of blood.

Police cars with their sirens blaring had bloodstains and body parts of their drivers all over them. There were only 30-40 cops still alive on the bridge that were trying deperately to stop the Lizardman and get the remaining civilians to safety.

As the 35 or so cops were unloading on this creature and Spider-Man was saving as many cars as he could, the Lizardman approached an expensive looking B.M.W. with two men in it.

Peering into the car, the Lizardman shoved his giant fist through the back window, gripping an Indian man in a suit in his fist.

Lifting the man up in the air, a cruel and crackly voice came out of the Lizardman, "Dr. Ratha, oh, what a coincidence it is to see you here. Look at what you did to me. LOOK AT ME!," the Lizardman screamed at the flinching man.

Dr. Ratha didn't even dare to open his eyes. Piss was leaking down his pants, and tears were starting to fall from his eyes. With his eyes still closed, he said, "Dr. Connors, we can still fix this. Please stop this. We can fix this. Please dont kill me," the man pleaded.

"Fix? Oh, I don't want to fix this. I want everyone to experience the power and the superiority of my higher evolutionary form, and for that, I need the Lizard serum YOU STOLE FROM ME!," the now identified Dr. Connors screamed at the shaking man.

With that said, the Lizardman opened his gaping maw with hundreds of razor-sharp teeth and bit down on Dr. Rathas head. Sinking his teeth into the mans neck, he ripped the head off and spit it out. Human flesh and hair were stuck in some of his teeth. Reaching his two giant fingers into the mans suit pocket, he retrieved a vial filled with a dark green subtance that glowed.

Cackling madly, he was interrupted when a web latched onto the vial. Having it ripped out of his hands, he immediately looked to where it went.

There, hanging from the bridges overhang, was Spider-Man. "Looking for this, you big green freak?!" The man in a spider costume yelled.

Spider-Man had just saved over 70 cars, all dangling off the edge of the bridge. It looked like a horizontal industrial christmas tree with decorations.

Having done that, he turned his attention back onto the Lizard. Seeing him bite off the head of a man made his stomach turn, but he was even more stunned to learn the Lizard is actually Dr. Connors; the man he interns for.

Getting over his shock and seeing him cackle over a vial, he immediately shot a web at it, taking it away from the Lizard.

The Lizardman screamed in rage. It started running towards the hanging Peter and leaped off a car with the occupants inside getting crushed.

Cocking his right fist back, he punched Spider-Man so hard on the chest, he was launched nearly to the base of the bridge.

Running after Spider-Man, the Lizard ignored the cops and civilains alike while trampling through them under gunshots and screams. Flipping cars and eviscerating people, the Lizardman was like a tank plowing through fields of grass. Arriving at the police barricade that blocked the entrance to Brooklyn, he was enraged when he saw Spider-Man hand the vial to a policeman.

"Captain, the Lizardman was after this vial. He trampled through civilians and cops alike to get his hands on this. You need to protect this at all costs while I try and stop him," Spider-Man said to the man. The middle of Spider-Man's chest was bare. The usual spider logo was blasted off through the punch the Lizardman delivered.

Seeing the Lizardman stomp his was towards them, the cops opened fire upon him, but it did virtually nothing. Around 500 police cars and armored vehicles were barricading this side of the bridge. AR-15 and Glock 22 gunshots were ringing out everywhere. Bullet casings were clanking off the ground, and news anchors were running away after seeing it start to turn south. Only two or three brave reporters stayed to capture the fight.

"GET THIS VIAL OUT OF HERE! THE LIZARD IS AFTER IT!," Captain George Stacy said to one of his men. The cop took the vial, hopped in his car, and drove away as fast as he could.

"RAHHHHHHHHHH!," Seeing this, the Lizardman sprinted towards the fleeing vehicle as fast as he could through a bulletstorm in a rage. Flipping over the armored police and S.W.A.T. vehicles, the giant Lizardman left a trail of carnage through its wake.

Spider-Man was shooting webs at his limbs and head trying to get him under control, but before he could shoot enough to trap him, the Lizardman already broke out of them through its insane strength.

As he only slowed the Lizardman down by a little bit, Spider-Man was helpless watching the cops get obliterated. Seeing Gwens dad about to get trampled, he shot a web at his vest and pulled back, saving his life.

Getting a nod of approval from Mr. Stacy, he then swung his way towards where the Lizardman and cop car with the vial were running off to.

Now rampaging in the streets of Williamsburg, this Lizardman seemed absolutely unstoppable while chasing after the police car. Seeing an intersection come up and the cop car having to forcefully slow down to not crash, the Lizardman sprinted at the car and kicked it, sending it flying through the air. Civilians were screaming and getting out of their cars to run away.

The cop car landed on top of a minivan. Inside this minivan was a mother and her 4 daughters on their way back from a movie day. The mother was petrified. She knew she couldn't get all her children out of the car in time, as she had a 2 year-old and a 5 year-old in the back seat. Her 14 year-old and 12 year-old were petrified looking at the monstrous sight before them.

Seeing the Lizardman stomp towards them, the mother tried restarting her car to no avail in tears, while all her daughters started letting out wails.

Lifting his two hands up, the Lizardman was about to pancake the cop car and the minivan.

Spider-Man swinging his way over and seeing this screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Before Spider-Man could react, two oval portals made of ice opened up on both sides of the stacked cars. The portals were 15 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Stepping out of the melting portals were two giants slightly taller than even the Lizardman.

Clad in ice-black armor and spartan helmets, they emitted a cold that Spider-Man could feel from half a mile away. Standing guard in front of the downed cars, they looked extremely intimidating.

Stunned with the sight before him, the Lizardman stopped his action and asked, "What ar-"

Before he could finish his question, the 13-foot giant on the right took a sharp and fast step with his left foot in the Lizardmans direction; causing the pavement beneath his foot to explode and frost over. With his left hand in the guard position covering the left side of his head, he used his right foot to pivot and swing his right elbow upward with extreme force, connecting his elbow directly with the Lizardmans chin.

The force from the upward elbow caused every tooth in the Lizardman's mouth to crack. His jaw was driven up into his skull, causing his oval head to shrink inward. Blood came out of his mouth, ears, nose, and eyes. The blood droplets that came spraying out froze and tinkled when they hit the ground while the excess blood was frozen onto his scaled skin.

An audible crack could be heard from the Lizardmans back neck, jaw, and skull. With a shockwave, every window in the vicinity exploded. The Lizardmen was launched upward and flew about 50 feet into the air before crumbling back to the ground.

The other giant made a wall of ice protecting the minivan and cop car, making sure no damage was dealt to them.

The two ice black giants then stood side by side, watching the Lizardman twitch on the ground.
