Chapter 116

A/N: This Chapter has 2.5k words, and personally, I really like how it turned out even if some of you won't

*******************************************

[Third Person's PoV] 

Peter quickly made his way towards Oscorp upon realizing where Dr. Ock was going.

"Daddy… I'm sorry," Aria said in a sad voice.

"It's not your fault," Peter said as he swung.

"How is it not? It was my job to look after them and make sure they didn't turn into villains. I failed you."

"Aria, if it was only one villain that was created, I would say it's kinda your fault, but it would have been acceptable since everyone makes mistakes. If it was two, it would have been a strange coincidence. But it's three. So when I say it's not your fault, I mean it. I'm not trying to be nice. Three villains being created at once is no coincidence; it's the work of Fate. For one reason or another, they needed to be born. So when you took your eyes off them, the mechanism of fate started to come into play."

"So if anyone's to blame, it's Fate."

Peter arrived in time to see Doc Ock standing at the edge of Oscorp, with some of the windows shattered. Norman was by his tentacle arms, extending outward over the ledge, struggling, while police helicopters flew around them.

"Hahahahaha! Norman, Norman, Norman. Oh, how I longed for this day, the day you get your comeuppance for the state you put me in," Otto cackled.

Norman was struggling for air as he held the mechanical arm, trying to pry it off his neck. "How many times do I have to tell you, Otto? I didn't do that to you; I didn't hire those men."

"LIAR!" Otto spat with venom in his voice. "You were always jealous, Norman. You were envious of my abilities–"

"Put me down, you psychopath!" Norman shouted.

Otto smirked. "With pleasure."

"No, wait–" But it was too late. Doc Ock had released Norman and watched him with glee.

Norman looked up, flailing his arms trying to grab onto something, until he heard something apart from the gushing wind and the mortified people screaming below him.

*whpssshh*

He then felt himself being grabbed out of the air. "Spider-Man?" Norman asked as he looked at the one who grabbed him.

Peter lowered his descent with Norman in his arms. "The one and only. Want an autograph?" he said, deepening his voice a bit.

As Peter brought Norman to the ground, he ignored the people cheering below him and the audience of newscasters recording everything as he started to run up the building.

He used his webbing to shoot himself upwards, speeding his way up.

Just as Peter was about to jump over the ledge, his Spidey-senses kicked in, causing him to move to the side.

Where he once was, a tentacle arm pierced the spot, destroying part of the ledge and causing rubble to fall to the ground.

"Spider-Man!" Otto said with hate in his voice.

"Dude, come on. I just met you and you already hate me? Take me to dinner first," Peter said in a flirtatious way.

"You just had to show up and stop my revenge. But it matters not! I was expecting you to get in my way."

From Peter's back, four mechanical limbs appeared. "You know, since I had this appearance first, I could sue you for copyright."

"How...? You know what, forget it. I'll get the answer from your corpse," Otto said as he launched himself towards Peter.

Peter ran towards him, their limbs clashing against one another. Peter went and punched Otto in the face, but Otto tanked it and laughed. "You gotta try harder than that. With my damaged nerves, I barely feel any pain."

Peter gathered electricity in his fist and sent a punch towards Otto, but one of Otto's mechanical limbs stopped attacking and moved to take the punch.

Instead of being destroyed, the limb absorbed the electricity and flowed it back to Otto's harness. The limb snapped its claws onto Peter's fist as Otto smirked.

"Thanks for the juice. I was hoping you would do that," Otto said as he lifted Peter and slammed him on the rooftop, causing it to break and hurling Peter to the floor inside the building.

As he fell, Peter took hold of Otto's mechanical arm and pulled him in with him. He flipped him around, causing Otto to break through the floor they landed on, making them further descend down the building.

Due to how close they were fighting, Peter was able to dodge most of Otto's attacks, but so was Otto.

Peter kept punching Otto across the face, causing blood to drip down his nose and mouth.

One of Otto's mechanical limbs grabbed Peter by the leg and threw him far enough that he smashed through a window, ending up outside.

Once Peter flipped through the air, he shot a web towards the building and pulled himself back inside. As he entered, he did so with his legs out, kicking Otto with both legs sending him out through another window, landing outside.

Otto's arms protected him from the fall. Once on the ground, he shook his head to reorient himself, grabbed two cars, and sent them flying towards the building, creating an explosion.

He then used his mechanical arms to propel himself up, climbing back into the building. Once back inside, he saw Spider-Man helping people escape.

He went to tackle him, but Peter's Spidey-senses were too great. Peter flipped into the air, shot a web towards Otto, and flipped him around onto the ground, causing it to break apart and fall through.

One of Otto's limbs curled up into a fist and punched Peter across the face, sending him flying back and crashing through a wall, sending papers flying and breaking a pipe, which caused steam to expel out.

Peter then surrounded himself in lightning and rushed towards Doc Ock. Before Doc Ock realized it, Peter appeared in front of him and started swinging his fist left and right while swaying to the side, building momentum.

Blood ran down and stained Otto's face. His mechanical arms opened and started expelling fire from the middle of them.

"I've been studying the both of you. I don't know where your partner went, but I was prepared to fight the both of you."

"Not prepared enough, and you never will be, Otto. You may think–"

BOOOOOM!!

Peter didn't have time to finish his words as the fire Otto started hit a gas leak that was created.

From the audience's perspective below, the floor suddenly blew up. The windows all shattered as flames and fire escaped from every corner, almost causing the helicopter that was recording everything to catch on fire.

MJ gasped as she covered her mouth, almost blurting out Peter's name out loud. But her fears went away as she saw Peter swinging out with Doc Ock in his arms. This caused her to aim her camera up and start taking more pictures.

"This is so sick," Felicia muttered with a fascinated look.

Spider-Man and Doc Ock then began to once again fight midair as they started to fall down.

Once they were at a safe distance, Peter rolled Otto under him and used him as a springboard, causing his descent to quicken.

Otto's arms took hold of the closest building next to him. Due to his momentum, part of the building started to fall apart from Doc Ock's limbs trying to slow him down.

Once he was back on the ground, he looked at Peter with a large grin, exposing his bloody teeth. "Hahahaha!! Wanna know something, Spider-Man? I know your weakness. It's the weakness every hero has!"

Otto's mechanical arm grabbed a car and hurled it into the sky, causing it to go flying and hit one of the propellers of the helicopter.

"The people."

Peter clicked his tongue as he turned around and headed for the helicopter.

"Mayday! Mayday! We've been hit. We're going down. AHHHHHHH!!!" the pilot yelled as he tried moving the joystick.

The news helicopter ended up hitting the police one as well, causing it to smoke and fall down.

As Peter saw both helicopters falling towards everyone, his world slowed down to a screeching halt. To Peter, everything felt as if he was moving in slow motion.

He was in front of everyone and started shooting webs everywhere below the two helicopters, creating large spider webs.

He then jumped up and propelled himself towards them. Once he was over them, he was upside down started shooting the propellers with webs to stop them from rotating.

He continued to flip over and get behind the two helicopters, shooting multiple webs at their backs. Once he was done, he landed on the ground.

Once on the ground, everything returned to regular speed, and Peter started pulling.

Everyone screamed as the crowd saw the helicopters coming their way. They all instinctively ducked until they heard a strong yell.

They all slowly looked up, and even though the helicopters were coming their way, they were now being slowed down.

"AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH"

They all looked towards the scream and saw Spider-Man pulling on the two helicopters, stopping them from continuing.

Once they fully stopped, Peter's pulling momentum pulled him up and onto the top of both helicopters, which were covered in webs. Peter ended up landing in the iconic Spider-Man pose.

MJ instinctively went for her camera and started taking pictures. She felt that if she didn't take the picture, she wouldn't be doing the universe justice.

After he landed, Peter went to both helicopters, pried the doors open, and brought everyone down.

Peter didn't wait for their words and did a power jump, sending him flying towards Otto, who hadn't managed to get far away.

As Otto turned around and saw Peter coming towards him, he turned around and smirked, showing a button in his hand.

"I win, Spider-Man!" Otto said as he pressed the button.

Peter shot a web towards it, but it was too late as he heard multiple explosions, causing him to go pale.

He immediately forgot about Otto, turned around, and shot two webs to the side, slingshotting himself back towards everyone.

He saw how an explosion occurred on each pillar of the ground floor.

'It's going to come crashing down, and there are still people inside…'

Peter surrounded himself in lightning as he rushed inside.

As soon as he stepped inside, the building came crashing down but stopped.

Everyone grew pale and shocked at what they were seeing. Due to the explosion, they were able to see inside the first floor of the building.

They watched as Spider-Man held up the entire 108-story building with his bare hands. They watched as he knelt down in all the rubble and fire, holding up the entire structure on his knees.

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!! QUICK, GET EVERYONE OUT!" Peter yelled. He felt like he was going to collapse due to the strain.

Due to the unbearable pain and agony he was in, Peter started to grow delirious. He kept telling himself words of encouragement, not knowing he was yelling out his inner thoughts.

"I have to do this!"

"Come on! Come on! You got this!"

"I have to save them! I have to save all of them!"

"I can feel all of my muscle fibers ripping apart, but I can't give up! God damn it, I'm Spider-Man! And Spider-Man doesn't give up!"

MJ had tears streaming down her face as she quietly sobbed, "Oh Peter," she mumbled between her quiet sobs.

Felicia's eyes widened as she turned towards MJ, before looking at Peter. Seeing him struggle with the weight of the entire building, her eyes also began to water upon realizing who it really was behind the mask.

She pushed forward and shouted at the top of her lungs, "YOU GOT THIS, SPIDER-MAN!!! YOU CAN DO IT!"

Felicia's shout was like a spark that started a forest fire.

Everyone began to chant, "YOU CAN DO IT, SPIDER-MAN!!"

Even those who were watching the news were shouting at Spider-Man.

Uncle Ben hugged Aunt May as she sobbed while watching the news, his face also streaming with tears.

Hearing everyone shouting his name, Peter started to take deep breaths. "In and out," he said, talking about his breathing.

He made a large grunting noise as he started to shift. He put one foot down and began to yell at the top of his lungs.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

While he slowly stood up inch by inch, lifting the building higher and higher until he was on both his feet.

"AAAAAAAAAAGH!" he shouted as he lifted both his arms up and stood on both legs, which caused everyone to cheer in excitement.

MJ, with tears streaming down her face, lifted her camera and snapped a picture.

Peter felt all the bioelectricity of the people slowly leaving the building, each one of them being escorted out.

A fireman then shouted, "THAT'S ALL OF THEM!"

Upon hearing that and not feeling any other bioelectricity, Peter let out a sigh of relief, which caused his feet to give in and the building to come crumbling down on top of him.

The crumbling building sent a storm of dust flying everywhere, knocking everyone back and onto their butts.

Seeing this, both MJ and Felicia grew as white as ghosts. When the dust cleared, they rushed past everyone towards the mountain of rubble.

"Wait!" some of the cops and firemen tried to stop them, but they were already ahead. Once they were by the rubble, Felicia and MJ tried moving what they could until they saw a hand punch out.

Seeing the hand, they both took hold of it and tried to pull Peter out. As they pulled him out, his spider mechanical limbs started to help him crawl out.

As they pulled him out, they both fell on their butts while Peter was face first on the ground.

As they landed on their butts, they looked to the skies and let out a sigh of relief.

But while they were looking at the skies and Peter was face down on the ground, none of them realized three little spiders that survived the explosion had crawled out from the hole Peter was just under.

One of the spiders went and crawled towards the unsuspecting MJ, while the other one crawled towards the unsuspecting Felicia.

As for where the third one went… that remains to be seen.

Peter started to come to consciousness and slowly picked himself off the ground. He held his limp arm and slowly limped down the mountain of rubble with MJ and Felicia helping him down.

Once they reached the bottom, Peter got off them so people wouldn't question their connections, and started to slowly limp his way towards the crowd while holding his injured arm.

His suit had chunks of it ripped off, but was covered in blood, not exposing his skin. When he arrived, a single brave reporter walked up and held the microphone to Peter.

"Please tell us, Spider-Man, how are you feeling at the moment? Are you alright?"

"You want to know how I feel?" Peter asked, his voice groggy and strained.

"I feel like an entire building just collapsed on me."

With just those words, Peter continued to make his way forward as the people started to part like the sea and make way for him.
