Sinister Plan

Christopher ripped of the armour from Harry. Once transformed into the Green Goblin, Harry harbors no fear of death. However, in his human form, he trembled at the thought.

Stripped of his Green Goblin armor, Harry reverted to his mortal self, vulnerable and apprehensive.

Confronting Christopher, the Green Goblin's bravado faltered.

With a dismissive gesture, the Green Goblin gestured towards a nearby hotel, disclosing, "Dr Lizard and Mary are in the hotel."

Upon hearing this, Spider-Man darted towards the hotel, eager to rescue Mary.

Christopher, however, remained unmoved, skeptical of the Green Goblin's words given his notorious lack of integrity.

Observing Christopher's distrust, the Green Goblin feigned nonchalance before attempting to flee.

But Christopher was quick to ensnare him with a strand of spider silk, halting his escape.

"It's futile to flee," Christopher taunted.

In a desperate bid for freedom, the Green Goblin deployed a concealed scimitar, severing the spider silk.

Aware of his inability to escape without his glider, the Green Goblin acquiesced to Christopher's demand to summon Dr Lizard and Mary.

But first, the Green Goblin sought answers.

"Who are you? Why do you possess abilities akin to Peter's? And why are you so intent on saving Mary?" he inquired, his tone laced with suspicion.

"And why should I tell you?" Christopher retorted, a smirk playing on his lips.

Enraged by Christopher's defiance, the Green Goblin retrieved a sinister pumpkin bomb, his intentions clear.

With a menacing glare hurled the bomb and making a hasty escape, leaving Christopher moving for cover.

But as Christopher watched the bomb roll ominously without exploding, realization dawned upon him—it was a dud.

The Green Goblin displayed cunning tactics, choosing to run into a large department store instead of towards the street. Inside, he utilized the armor system to contact his subordinates, instructing them to bring weapons, spare armor, and inform Dr Lizard of Spider-Man's presence, urging him to come immediately.

Christopher pursued the Green Goblin into the department store, where chaos ensued as panicked people ran in all directions, screaming for help.

"Help!"

"... Mommy, Mommy..."

Amidst the chaos, the Green Goblin callously knocked aside anyone in his path, occasionally tossing people towards Christopher to impede his pursuit.

Christopher caught the thrown individuals and ensured their safety on the ground. However, the Green Goblin, without concern for their lives, continued his reckless path. In a desperate attempt to slow Christopher down, the Green Goblin grabbed a terrified woman and hurled her towards him.

Though Christopher caught her, the woman clung tightly to him, pleading not to be let go. Christopher, focused on the chase, used brute force to free himself, ignoring her offer to repay him with companionship.

Undeterred, the woman shouted after Christopher, proposing to be his woman, but he chose to ignore her advances.

The Green Goblin, realizing he couldn't outrun Christopher, reached a corner where dozens of people sought refuge. Holding pumpkin bombs in each hand, he threatened them, demanding they squat down or face explosion.

"Dozens of people cowered on the ground, paralyzed by fear, unwilling to resist."

Christopher continued his pursuit.

Unfazed, the Green Goblin taunted, "...Spider Tyrant, come on! I have two pumpkin bombs here with a killing radius of up to 20 meters. Once exploded, everything within 20 meters will be blown to pieces. Come here, and I will manually activate the explosion, sending these dozens of people to hell with you."

Amid pleas for help from the terrified hostages, the Green Goblin reveled in his sinister plan.

"Save us, hero! Please, you're our only hope," the desperate pleas echoed through the room.

"My old mother needs someone to care for her. I can't bear to leave her," another voice joined in, filled with desperation. "Please, you have to save us."

"Hero, if you have any ounce of compassion, rescue my daughter. She's just a three-year-old," Tears mixed with the words, tugging at the heartstrings of all who heard.

Christopher stood at a crossroads, torn between his indifference towards the hostages, strangers whose lives he didn't personally value, and the nagging hesitation stemming from the senselessness of their potential demise.

He grappled with the realization that just a few days prior, he had been an ordinary guy, his heart not yet hardened to such extreme circumstances.

Yet, Christopher remained steadfast in his resolve not to capitulate to the Green Goblin's demands, refusing to be manipulated or controlled by him.

"Spider Tyrant, we've been deceived by Harry. There's no Professor Lizard or Mary in the hotel," Spider-Man's voice cut through the tension, offering a glimmer of hope.

Christopher seized the opportunity, turning to his Peter.

"Peter, you've arrived just in time. I'll leave the Green Goblin to you. I need a moment to collect myself."

Stepping back, Christopher found solace on a nearby shelf, grabbing a bottle of red wine. Sipping through a straw.

"What in the world?" Spider-Man muttered, baffled by Christopher's unexpected actions.

Throwing the responsibility of dozens of lives onto his ally's shoulders, and leaving the menacing Green Goblin for him to handle – it seemed like an impossible task. But for Christopher, it was a necessary respite, a moment to gather his thoughts amidst the chaos of heroism.

The Green Goblin's laughter echoed through the room as Christopher retreated, a twisted sense of satisfaction evident on his face. Meanwhile, Spider-Man remained unfazed, accustomed to the villain's antics.

After all, Spider-Man had his fair share of weaknesses.

For one, his innate kindness often left him vulnerable, allowing him to be manipulated time and again.

Then there was his unwavering commitment to heroism, a trait the Green Goblin exploited to toy with innocent lives.

In contrast, Christopher posed a far greater challenge for the villain. With no apparent weaknesses to exploit, he presented a formidable obstacle.

"Peter, help me take down the Spider Tyrant, or I'll detonate these hostages," the Green Goblin's sinister ultimatum hung heavy in the air.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Spider-Man struggled to make a decision.

Meanwhile, Christopher's voice cut through the tension like ice.

"Green Goblin, do you truly believe I'll be swayed by the lives of a few hostages? Let me make one thing clear – if you dare anger me, I will slaughter your entire family."

The Green Goblin's facade faltered for a moment, realizing the gravity of Christopher's threat. Despite his bravado, the safety of his family was non-negotiable.

"Misunderstanding, my friend," the Green Goblin backpedaled, a forced smile masking his unease.

Though fearless in battle, the prospect of losing his family struck fear into his heart. Without the shield of the Osborne name, he knew he was vulnerable to the consequences of his own recklessness.
