ISSUE #5 CHAPTER 2:Breaking the news

So where was Spider-Man? I'll tell you where, in a bus!

Only 10 hours after the whole bank robbery, a limousine bus pulls into the parking lot of a very familiar Condominium building. In the bus, were twelve people all of whom at that point, fell asleep during their journey from Manhattan and to Canterlot City.

Flash Sentry was one of these people. Making his summer even more eventful and going on a trip to Manhattan with Sunset and her friends, along with their boyfriends. They went there for one sole purpose, to go to the engagement party of Rarity and Applejack.

It was a very interesting party, being a mesh of elegance and fun! Perhaps you could possibly say it was a semi-formal, but nevertheless it was a very well planned event by Applejack and Rarity and they all were tired afterwards, just from exploring the whole city with a new friend.

That new friend was Cheese Sandwich! A Manhattan native who somehow and someway became Pinkie Pie's boyfriend. He'd shown them around the city, showing every best landmark of it during their one week stay, and after all of the fun adventures he had in his home town, he agreed to come to Canterlot with them, maybe even living there if he decides on it.

All of them had all fallen asleep on the leather seats of the bus. Some of them lying upside down on the seats while some were sitting upright. Flash and Sunset were among the few that were sitting upright, leaning on one and other.

##"Madam Rarity?"## The intercom to the Limousine Bus went off, waking up all twelve of the passengers, ##"Madam Rarity, we have arrived.

Rarity crackled her eyes opened, in an almost raspy voice she replied, "Uh~~ y-yes, thank you Chives, We will be out shortly."

The intercom went off, all twelve of the passengers getting up right or stretching, "So were finally in Canterlot City?" asked Cheese Sandwich, "Oh man! I hope it's as exciting as you said it is Pinkie Pie!" He went from exhausted to energetic in almost an instance, though unnatural, it was impressive.

Flash and Sunset both groaned out of getting up, the two prior to falling asleep had had a conversation about air travel and road travel, both of whom debating about which form of travel was better.

"I still think... road travel is better!" She said feeling very weary, "you just don't get a nap like that on a plane, and you have to pop your ears before lift off!"

Flash blinked both of his eyes, trying to adjust to his surroundings, sounding weary himself, "What?! That's just because air gets trapped in your ear or something, it's easily fixed by yawning, and I'm pretty sure it could happen in a car too."

"Speaking of which...." Sunset stretched her arms out and let out a yawn.

They all got out of the Limo bus. Rarity spoke back to Chives, "Chives Dear, you are relieved of your duties for the rest of the day."

Chives nodded from the driver window and drove off.

"So what do y'all suggest we do now?" asked Applejack.

Pinkie Pie put her hand up, "Ooo! Ooo! ME! ME!"

Applejack pinched the bridges of her nose and giggled, "Yes Pinkie?"

"How about we show Cheese Sandwich around Canterlot! You know, get him used to the area!"

"I think we've had enough adventures for a week." Twilight chimed in, "Maybe something that will involve relaxing."

"Well we could watch a movie together." Rainbow Dash suggested, "I heard Kill Bill was brought back to Netflix, we gotta see it!" She pumped her fists in the air from the overwhelming excitement at the thought of watching Kill Bill.

Fluttershy on the other hand, was not as 'on board' with the idea, "Oh... Does it have to be Kill Bill?"

"OF COURSE!" Rainbow Dash blurted, "Everyone knows Kill Bill is one of the greatest pieces of media depicting Martial Arts in the history of ever!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, not expecting Rainbow Dash to use those choices of words in a sentence. Then.. Soarin spoke up.

"Wow! First of all I had no idea you could even say those words in a sentence and second of all, Fluttershy is kinda right, I mean we have seen the movie a thousand times at this point."

"WHAT!?" Rainbow Dash had a very egotistical tone in her voice. She soon calmed down, "Well then what do you want to watch?"

"Well…." Soarin stroked his chin, "We could watch Raiders of the Lost Ark!"

"Are you kidding me?" Rainbow Dash protested, "Daring Do would kick his ass in any situation!"

"WHAT?!" Soarin too had that same egotistical tone, "Indiana Jones is way more action packed than some... SOME RULE 63!"

Rainbow Dash felt the anger boil inside her, and in a fit of rage she yelled at her boyfriend, "YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" They both growled at each other for a minute, but that gave Sandalwood an idea.

"Dude, Dudet! You guys are geniuses!"

The two glanced at Sandalwood with shocked expressions, "We are?" The both spoke in unison.

"Yeah! Maybe we could turn this argument into a competition, all of us watch the best movie of each film franchise, and decide on which is the better one."

Everyone seemingly agreed to the idea. Though it sounded like a bit of a long stretch, seeing how both film franchises had multiple films, it would be almost impossible to decide on who is the better adventurer, but both Soarin and Rainbow Dash were competitors and couldn't care less about the movie they'd watch.

Soarin glanced at Rainbow Dash, "Whoever wins has to buy dinner on the next date!"

"You're on!"

The two bolted for the condo entrance, leaving everyone to laugh at their expense as they began following the two inside.

Sunset glanced at Flash, "So are you stayin' 'camera boy'?" Sunset teased.

Flash stroked his chin, "Well common sense says I should go freshen up and change out of these, but at the same time seeing Soarin in a competition is too good to miss."

"I'm gonna take that as a yes."

"Well I never said yes... but I never said no either." Flash chuckled, pointing his index finger at Sunset, tilting his head to seem slick.

Sunset rolled her eyes and gave Flash a playful punch to his arm, "Whatever you say 'Doctor Strange'."

"What?" Flash sarcastically shrugged, "Who said being normal was always--" But then out of nowhere, Flash's phone began to ring, playing an itsy bitsy spider jingle. "The Daily Bu--Oh uh I gotta take this!" It was from one of his co-workers, Robbie Robertson

Flash cleared his throat and answered the phone, "Hey Mr. Robertson!"

"Flash, how many times do I have to tell you not to be so formal" Robbie chuckled. "Anyway, I'm just here to call on J.J's behalf."

Flash arched an eyebrow, "Doesn't seem like Mr. Jameson to not call me in a fit of rage."

"Well he's sick today, poor guy."

Flash couldn't help but kind of smirk a little, "Well at least my ear drums can have a break."

"So what'd he want to 'say' to me" Flash gestured his fingers, putting a sarcastic emphasis on the word say.

"Well Flash this is some serious stuff, I'm not sure even he'd joke about it"

Flash couldn't see it but he could tell Robbie changed his tone, furrowing his eyebrows he too stopped chuckling, "What Happened?"

"There's seem to be a slew of crimes across the city throughout the week and even weirder, they were all hate crimes directed to Spider-Man, and I'm talking big, Vandalism, Public Discords, even today there was a Bank Heist where three suspects got away with thousands of dollars worth of gold!"

Flash was almost in disbelief, "No way!" Even when he was gone in Tokyo, the worst that'd happen was a burglary, but Vandalism aside, people have probably been hurt through the Discords and possibly the early morning Bank Heist.

"Now, I'm not encouraging this but Jameson want's you to go get pictures of the events that took place and at the press conference tonight, but I guess judging by your track record you don't need a warning, but still, be careful out there Flash!"

"Got it!" Flash nodded. Flash let out a sigh and gritted his teeth, "I'm gonna be doing a lot more than getting pictures Robbie!"

The group could see Flash and the growing tension and nervousness within him. Sunset could especially see it and out of habit she put her hand on his shoulder. That broke Flash out of his trans. "Flash what's wrong?" She spoke in genuine concern and urgency.

Flash glanced at Sunset, glancing away he let out a sigh, "Sunset... I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to miss out the whole competition thing."

"You don't have to apologize!" said Sunset, she took a breath, "So is J.Jonah giving you a hard time again."

Flash shook his head, he wanted to tell Sunset about the slew of crimes but he didn't want to scare her with it, after that whole week in Manhattan he thought that she deserves to relax and not have to worry about anything, "No, this time he has a job for me, something I probably can't get out of."

"Well... if you still want to come by tonight The door is always open for you." Sunset smiled. "If not it's whatever, I'm not gonna get at you for it, but you know call first before coming."

Flash smiled back, "I'll see how the night plays out." He planted a kiss on Sunset's forehead and ran off to the entrance, "Love you!"

"Love you too!" Sunset could feel her cheek becoming red as she smiled.

***

Flash ran out of the Condo Entrance and dashed towards an Alleyway, "Good thing I packed this with me!" Pulling the hoodie over his head, it revealed a red spandex-compression mesh torso with a black Spider emblem in the middle, pulling a mask out of his pocket he put it over his head, taking his pants off to reveal the other part of his spandex body suit, he took his phone and placed it in the pocket of his leggings. Finally taking his shoes off he grabs all the clothing he had and stuffs them in his backpack.

"Better make a quick detour home to lift the load!" He leapt in the air fired a webline, a whitish grey rope of webbing that wrapped around a flag pole.

He began swinging, arcing his webline upwards he fired another one at a building a few blocks away.

Author's Note

And that was the second Chapter of FSTSS Issue #5

So in it, Flash and the gang come back from Manhattan, (Because I'm not doing the whole Manehattan thing!) and Flash learns of what happened earlier in the morning when the Enforcers struck.

So I know I wanted to minimize comedic tones in the story but I just had to do the Daring Do and Indiana Jones bit for two reasons, one was I needed filler XD, the second was for my own amusment to write out two fictional characters fighitng about two fictional characters.

So something new I did in this story, which will be happening from this point forward was italicize Flash's thoughts and put quotation marks around them to help differentiate from the narration text, you know like most books would.

Tell me what you think in the comments and hey maybe even leave a like, I don't know!

ISSUE #5 CHAPTER 3:A Dinner Party Attack

But as Flash was on his manhunt to figure out who was behind the chain of crimes that had been committed for all of last week, two robbers made their way into the closed doors of The Equestria State Laboratory. The two were dressed in black and both wearing trench coats, after hacking the security system, they were able to make their way to the item of the night.

"Okay! Here it is!" Said one of the robbers. Pointing both his arms at a big circular glass chamber holding a black, goo-like organism.

"Okay...." His partner seemed less than interested, "Why did Kingpin send us to get some black goo?"

The robber shook his head, "Oh no this isn't just any goo! This is an alien lifeform!"

His partner arched an eyebrow, "Alien lifeform, how do you know?"

"So get this, two weeks ago a space shuttle landed from the ISS, and apparently this gunk was stuck onto the ship and it's unlike any species on earth, they're doing research about it but haven't made any progress."

"So I'm guessing Kingpin want's us to grab it because it's probably worth millions on the black market?"

The Robber nodded, "Now you're getting it!"

"Alright then let's do this!" The Robber and his partner got their supplies out, a titanium container and a big set of pliers with long handles.

Spider-Man fired a webline onto a phone line and swung around it, letting go of his webline when it was on an arc and firing a new one. "My god this place already has police tape!"

Spider-Man let go of his webline and landed on top of a street light post. He peered at the bank, there seemed to be some exterior damage done to it, especially a large gash like hole on that looked to be where the entrance once was. Spider-Man grabbed his camera and snapped a picture of the exterior damage to the bank.

He saw a few police officer at the scene, trying to hold back what looked like paparazzi trying to get a scoop of what happened. "Well looks like I got my fist lead!" Spider-Man snapped his fingers to get the attention of one the police officers, "Uh you!" He pointed.

The tall and somewhat bulky officer glanced up at the street light post, he could only find it in his heart to bellow at Spider-Man, "Oh so now you show up!"

"Yeah look uh..." He got a look at the Officer's badge, "Mr. Brawly Beats?... Whatever! Look I was kinda preoccupied with this thing I like to call summer vacation, anyway...." He gestured his hand in a twirling motion, pointing at the bank, "What happened."

Officer Beats let out a sigh of annoyance, but ultimately knew Spider-Man could probably do more than he could, "What does it look like genius, a bank robbery took place."

"So you got any suspects?" Spider-Man asked.

"We got three perpetrators! Well we don't know their name we know what they looked like..."

"Go on...."

"Well one of them seems to be in a red and gold... jumpsuit or something... and he has these grey bulky wrist things on him and they shoot out electric blasts and vibrations..."

Spider-Man's right lens squinted while his other widened, "I didn't know Electro had a brother.."

"What about the other two?" Spider-Man asked.

"Both of them seem to have red and grey suits of armor but they both seem pretty distinguishable." Officer Beats used his hands to further elaborate, "One is pretty massive, like larger than life and is really, really strong! while the other is kinda normal sized but can bounce off of walls."

Spider-Man's was really skeptical about the things he was hearing but at the same time, 'he's dealt with some of the most ridiculous things Canterlot threw at him so maybe it wasn't that big of a stretch.'

"Okay.... so have you guys actually located them?"

Officer Beats shrugged, "Sorry... they escaped without a trace."

Spider-Man glanced away for a minute, both his lenses squinting in suspicion, "Wow this is gonna be harder than I thought!"

"Well thanks for you inte--"

But then, Officer Beats Walkie Talkie went off. "##ATTENTION ALL UNITS! THERE IS AN ATTACK TAKING PLACE IN A DINNER PARTY AT THE FISK TOWERS! I REPEAT ATTACK AT THE FISK TOWERS! ALL AVAILABLE UNTIS PLEASE RESPOND! SUSPECTS BELIEVED TO BE THE THREE WANTED IN THE BANK ROBBERY EARLIER THIS MORNING! PLEASE RESPOND!##"

Spider-Man's lenses widened for a moment, "Mayor Fisk!"He fired a webline and swung in urgency towards the scene. He needed to, no matter what, to protect Mayor Fisk who was undoubtedly still in the building at this time, along with the other civilians.

Officer Beats turned back to glance at Spider-Man, maybe to see what he thought about the situation, only to watch him swing off to what he assumed was the scene of the crime. He could only sigh at the sight of Spider-Man swinging away, "Be careful on this one!" He muttered.

***

Spider-Man let go of his Webline and landed on top of a flag pole, he looked down at Fisk Towers, particularly the entrance. The cameras in his lenses zoomed in to get a better look, it proved to be a little tough however, as using a camera in a ill lighted area, especially the dark made things look a bit grainy, but he was able to see what looked like the same gash like damage on the entrance, with police cruisers and armored trucks at the scene as well.

The camera's zoomed out, "Man these guys sure now how to mark their territory." But then something dawned on Spider-Man, a very certain realization, "Wait a minute, this is like the hundredth time I've dealt with a Mayor Fisk related problem. What is it with that guy anyway?"

Spider-Man stroked his chin, he could remember the conversation he had with The Green Goblin, the last one they'd had before he'd slam him through a glass window at Canterlot Towers, "Goblin did say that he harboured dark secrets... Wait-No! Goblin was partially insane, but even so when I mentioned it to Mr. Breaker he seemingly believed it as well."

This was the first time Spider-Man had finally taken into account about the Wilson Fisk conspiracies, was he really a Criminal Kingpin, did he really have dark secrets.

"No!" Spider-Man shook his head, "I don't have time to conspirasize against Mayor Fisk, I have to go stop the situation at hand!"

Spider-Man leapt off the flagpole and fired a webline onto a street light post, his webline curved downwards as he was swinging in that direction. It then began arcing again, prompting Spider-Man to let go and fire another one. He fired with urgency, trying to get into the building as fast as possible.

Spider-Man swung past all the officers and their vehicles and swung towards a large window.

*CRAsh!*

Spider-Man crashed through the large window, executing a triple somersault he landed on a table, knocking down the pot in the middle and some of the plates and silverware.

He analyzed the scene around him, many civilians were hiding under the tables, behind chair's, anything they could use as cover they hid behind, even Mayor Fisk who hid behind the podium in which he was delivering a speech.

But what really caught Spider-Man's eye were three figures, one dressed in a red and gold complex suit while the other two were in red and grey armor. Spider-Man's lenses widened,"They match the description perfectly!"

The men Spider-Man was looking at were the Enforcers, the criminal group Big Man hired to take him out, his lenses squinted, "So, you must be the three nut jobs who robbed the bank earlier today!"

"Why, 'robbed' is a strong word, Mr. Spider-Man!" Said Shocker, "I prefer, borrowed forever!"

"HAH!" Spider-Man lunged at Shocker, leaping off the dining table and towards him, only for OX to jump right in front of him. Spider-Man thought fast, firing a webline onto a chandelier and tugging on it, sending him flying up. But he was stopped again, this time by Ricochet who curled up in a ball and collided into him mid air. Spider-Man rebounded himself midair and landed on the ground.

Then, his Spider-Sense went off. He glanced at Shocker who pointed his gauntlet at him. Spider-Man quickly leapt out of the way, avoiding one of Shocker's shockwave blasts, only for his Spider-Sense to go off again.

OX picked up a table and threw it at Spider-Man. That prompted Spider-Man to leap onto a wall. Only for his Spider-Sense to go off again.

He glanced forward and saw Ricochet leaping towards him in that curled ball state. He leapt off the wall and onto the ground. Only for Ricochet to bounce off the wall and towards Spider-Man, causing him to fire a webline and climb up it.

"Come on boy!" Shocker scoffed, "Stay still so's we can put's you outta yer misery!" He raised his arm and pointed the gauntlet at Spider-Man.

"How about out of my mystery!" Spider-Man let go of the webline, avoiding the shot from Shocker, "Who are you guys, the Circus!" He landed on the ground.

"Were even better than the circus!" Ricochet grinned behind his mask, "Were the Enforcers!"

"That sentence didn't even make any sense--" Spider-Man's Spider-Sense went off, "Speaking of Sense!" He looked behind him to see OX charging at him, he decided to sprint at him as well. as OX got closer and closer it looked to be that he was gonna collide into Spider-Man and that Spidey was just asking for his visit to the hospital.

But outsmarting him, he slid right under OX's legs. "So uh, poor 'making-connections' to a sentence aside, what's your names?" Spider-Man asked.

"I'M OX!" OX pounded his fist into his chest and charged at Spider-Man. Spider-Man fired a bunch of webbing into his eyes, blinding him for a second. Spider-Man drove a push kick into his stomach, knocking him back a little.

"Well you're no Rhino!" Spider-Man's Spider-Sense went off, glancing behind him he saw Ricochet, ready to drive a fist through the side of his head. Spider-Man thought fast, setting his feet quickly he raised his arm up and blocked the fist with the side of his forearm!

"Call me Ricochet!" Ricochet moved his arm back and attempted a high kick, only for his foot to be caught by Spider-Man.

"Is it because you 'Ricochet' yourself into every problem?" Spider-Man threw him aside, falling to the ground he shot some webbing at Ricochet's arm, trapping him to the ground!

"And I'm Shocker! The Leader of this here team of ours." Shocker pointed his gauntlet at Spider-Man. "And we've been sent by the Big Man to wipe the to wipe this here floor with ya!"

Spider-Man's lenses squinted,"There's that name again!" Spider-Man shot two strands of webs at another chandelier, tugging both of them, he swung towards Shocker. Spider-Man let go of his webline and raised his fist up to punch Shocker right in his jaw!

But then suddenly, Spider-Man was stopped in midair. His fists were just inches away from Shocker but he was stopped midair. Spider-Man began feeling unnaturally strong vibrations and it didn't take long to figure out who was emitting them.

"Hoowee! Boy you just applied for your Hospital Bill!" Spider-Man's lenses widened, but he couldn't react, he wasn't able to react, the Vibrations were just too strong. Shocker pointed his Gauntlet at Spider-Man and shot it right at his chest, sending him back, "Hey Ricochet, catch!"

"Aw yeah!" Ricochet leapt and drove a tornado kick at Spider-Man's back, "Ey OX! You wanna do the finishing touches?"

OX caught Spider-Man's whole head, "WITH PLEASURE!" He threw Spider-Man into the wall as hard as he could. Spider-Man's whole body violently funneled through the wall and into a Police cruiser.

Shocker looked at his gauntlets, his eyes widened and his teeth clenched together, "Aw DAMN!"

Ricochet glanced at Shocker, mostly confused, "What's wrong Mo?"

"These damn doohickeys were set to low! I just blew my chance at squashing that little rascal!" Shocker adjusted his Gauntlets to maximum power, realizing he'd merely just stun Spider-Man.

Spider-Man on the other hand had just collided into a police cruiser. "Unnhhh…" He was moaning in pain, "It's a wonder that I'm still alive!"

Officer Hothoof and Officer Whistles both came to Spider-Man's aid, picking him up off the ground.

"Spider-Man! What happened?" asked Officer Hothoof.

"Long story short, Three guys in costumes are doing the opposite of what I do on a daily basis!" Spider-Man shook his head and regained his consciousness. "But uh, hey could you guys do me a favor."

"What is it?" asked Officer Whistles.

"Get the area evacuated--" Spider-Man's Spider-Sense went off again. He threw the officers to the side along with ducking away, avoiding a powerful shockwave blast from Shocker. He glanced at the two officers, "I'mma take care of this, If you don't mind!"

The two nodded, running to the other officers and doing as Spider-Man told.

Spider-Man glanced forward. Facing the three super criminals, facing the 'Enforcers!' "Okay Sentry! This would probably be the perfect time to think of a game plan!"

"Sorry about that bug!" Shocker charged up both of his gauntlets, "That was just to set the mood!"

"Wow this relationship is moving by fast, maybe some dinner would've been nice-- Oh Wait!" Spider-Man bellowed at the end of his sentence before dodging another one of Shocker's blasts and landed on a street light post."Wait!? 'Moving fast!'... Maybe I should get them to move fast and away from the area!"

Spider-Man, using his quick thinking he fired a webline onto a building a few blocks away, "Hey, how about a late night jog to get the blood flowing?" Spider-Man swung off.

"After him!" Shocker demanded. The three began chasing after Spider-Man, much to Spider-Man's expectations.

Soon a chase ensued, Spider-Man swinging across the city but keeping within close range with the Enforcers.

Spider-Man glanced behind him, he began thinking, "Should probably take out the Brawns of the team!" Spider-Man changed his direction, turning around and firing another webline and swinging towards OX. He knew he'd be stopped by Shocker and Ricochet, so midswing he shot some webbing into their goggles and fully pursued OX, stretching out both his feet.

OX stopped and set his feet, something that Rhino had lacked. Crossing both his forearms he blocked Spider-Man's kick. Spider-Man glanced back quickly, he knew for a fact the webbing would only stay there for so long before they ripped it off. Spider-Man jumped down.

He dropped to the ground, using his hand as a balance he swept OX off his feet, using his foot to do so. OX fell to the ground, this however did not affect the oxygen tank in his back, luckily for him it was reinforced with steel, something Spider-Man wasn't able to puncture so easily, no less the ground.

Ricochet and Shocker both the got the webbing off their lenses, again much to Spider-Man's expectations. They both looked at Spider-Man, who was casting them a determined expression, being able to read his squinted lenses. Ricochet rushed Spider-Man. Meanwhile Shocker looked at his gauntlets, he casted an annoyed look at them, they'd almost run out of power.

"Well this night couldn't've gone any more peachy!" He growled.

Ricochet and Spider-Man ensued on some one on one combat. Ricochet tried to get the first blow, he went at Spider-Man with a back hand fist, only for it to be blocked by Spider-Man's forearm. Ricochet chuckled, "So.. I see someone knows a thing or two about hand to hand combat."

"Well maybe I've been punched enough by the right people!" Spider-Man raised his leg and swung it towards, attempting a roundhouse kick at Ricochet, Unfourtanetley Ricochet blocked the attack with a forearm block of his own, using the side of his forearm.

"Well, I'm not one to brag but I'm a bit of a fighter my self!" He lowered his offensive posture and attempted an elbow, prompting Spider-Man to leap over him and land behind him.

Spider-Man lunged towards Ricochet, trying to punch him, but it seemed Ricochet had agility that was on par.

Ricochet used a quick opportunity and clinched Spider-Man, putting him in a bear hug lock. "Ey OX! You wanna soften him up a bit?"

OX pounded his fist into his palm, "Well... if you insist!"

Spider-Man's lenses winded, "Something's telling me 'Soften him up a bit' is the nice way of saying turn Spider-Man into human putty and break his bones!" Spider-Man, in a quick thought, stepped on Ricochet's foot, causing him to let go of Spider-Man.

Spider-Man glanced at OX! He shot some webbing into his goggles. Blinding his field of view for a moment. Spider-Man glanced back at Ricochet, but that would be the least of his problems.

"Well Mr. Spider-Man I'm offended!" Scoffed Shocker, "You done did nearly forgot about me..." He lunged towards Spider-Man.

Spider-Man's lenses squinted, "Oh boy!"

Shocker swung at Spider-Man, only to miss him. Spider-Man used that opportunity to try a headlock grapple and maybe get those gauntlets off his wrists., but as soon as his hands made contact with Shocker's neck. The same Vibration stopped Spider-Man in place. Causing Spider-Man's whole body to shake intensely, causing Spider-Man to be pushed back into a car.

Shocker ran to OX and Ricochet, "Boys bad news!"

"What is it now?" OX demanded.

"These hoo hahs are low on juice, there's no way we can take him out with hand combat, we'll have to hold off on the bug squashing."

Ricochet glanced back at Spider-Man who was on the ground, thinking he was unconscious, "Fine we'll all regroup back at Sherman's tower!"

But then, Spider-Man arose to his feet, "Sorry the only place you'll be regrouping in is Prison!" They all glanced back at Spider-Man.

"Mo--Shocker!" Ricochet nearly gave away Shocker's name, "Are you sure you can't do anymore of those maximum shockwave blasts or whatever?"

"Sorry", he raised his arms up and gestured at the gauntlets, "these guys are maxed out!"

"What about your Vibration blasts?" OX asked.

"I have enough power in my suit for one more!"

Spider-Man clung onto a wall and casted them very angry looks, "This is the bottom line for you guys!" Spider-Man leapt towards Ricochet, raising his leg out. He swung at the side of Ricochet's head, only for it to be caught by OX.

"Sorry Bug!" said OX, "Our Playdate is postponed!" He threw Spider-Man across the street and into a building wall as hard as he could! "Okay let's move!" The three all made a run for it.

Spider-Man groaned in pain, "I wish walls were softer sometimes!" He glanced forward to see The Enforcers running away, "Oh no they don't!" He jumped out of the wall crater he was in and shot a strand of webbing and snagged it.

But then he heard something, something that would compromise everything...

Spider-Man's lenses widened, widened to the sound of police sirens squealing right past him. "What now!?" He glanced to his left, he could see multiple police cruisers barreling down the street, following the sound of what sounded like gunshots.

Spider-Man glanced back forwards, The Enforcers were still on the move.

This left Spider-Man at a tough decision, go pursue the Enforcers, or go deal with whatever that was. But there always was a compromise.

"Okay! Maybe I could web them up to keep them in place and go deal with that!" It seemed like a bit of a stretch to Spider-Man, but he was willing to try anything to make the whole night easier for him. He tugged on the webline to send him upwards.

Swinging towards the Enforcers, he let go of his webline and surprised them, landing right in front of them. He acted quickly, not giving them any time to think. He outstretched both his arms out, shooting some webbing at them, he shot a bunch of webbing at OX's feet and legs, making him fall, trapping him to the ground, not letting him walk or for that matter run.

His Spider-Sense went off, arching his back, he dodged a swing from Ricochet, Spider-Man retaliated, elbowing his stomach. He shot some webbing all around Ricochet's body, trapping him from moving his upper body.

Spider-Man's Spider-Sense went off again. "If I started keeping count on how many times my Spider-Sense went off, this would probably tie my fight with Goblin!" Spider-Man jumped up, avoiding a sweep kick from Shocker.

Spider-Man landed in the same spot, picking up Shocker, he threw him up towards a wall and webbed him up to it, trapping him in web from neck to toe.

"Well guys it was fun and all, but I gotta go stop something else." He began running off, "Say hi to my fans in prison for me will ya!" He leapt in the air and fired a webline, swinging off towards the police sirens.

.....

Author's Note

And that was the Third Chapter of FSTSS Issue #5....

So it was really hard to think of how I wanted this fight to play out, originally I was gonna have the Enforcers patrol the city and eventually spot Spider-Man, all orchestrating a surprise attack on him.

Then there was the whole, how Spider-Man was gonna get the Symbiote, for some reason, a heist was the only thing that I wanted to use for this and so I did, going under the implication that the Symbiote would be a valuable item to the black market, So Kingpin would probably want it before someone like Big Man.

And for the first time, I did something I never did in a first battle, "Make Spider-Man Win". I've never made Spider-Man win in the fist fight, usually he gets defeated or he villain runs away.

Tell me what you think in the comments below and hey maybe even leave a like, I don't know

ISSUE #5 CHAPTER 4:Rich, Thick and Creamy!

Spider-Man let out a webline out of his wrists, following the multiple police cruisers and swat cars chasing an armored truck, entering Caneswirl road. Spider-Man had taken the risky move of trying to compromise two crimes. He'd seemingly think he'd taken down the Enforcers, marking them off the list of criminal pests, but during that whole ordeal, he witnessed as an armored truck was being chased by police vehicles, shooting firearms back at one and other.

Spider-Man had made an even bigger, ambitious and risky move by simply webbing up the Enforcers in hopes that they would stay put and be trapped, hoping that the police would arrive and take them away. He seemed pretty stressed about the whole thing wondering whether or not the police have put them under arrest or if they've escaped. But nevertheless he had this whole ordeal on his plate and he had to put an end to it.

Spider-Man was, baffled to say the least, this was honestly the first time he'd seen so many police cars chase a vehicle, it made him wonder what they'd actually did to get to this point. "Jeez, What did these guys steal? The Moon?! I've never seen so many police cars chasing after a vehicle before!"

Spider-Man arced downward, swinging at the police cars level. Doing his usual routine he briefly saluted them with two fingers before arcing up again and letting go of his webline, firing a new one.

He out sped the police, something he'd done numerous times. Just like the police, he was pursuing the armored truck, the one that was being chased by police. He outstretched both his feet, deciding to make a rather grand entrance into the back of the truck.

Spider-Man, kicked the back doors of the armored truck wide open! Swinging inside, being met by four thugs. Spider-Man clung onto a corner of the cargo space he was in.

"YOU!" screamed one of the thugs.

Spider-Man chuckled behind his mask, "I'm not sure if any of you know this, but I'm kinda the sheriff around these parks!"

"GET HIM!" screamed another one.

Spider-Man leapt down from the corner and onto one of the thugs, lowering the number down to three.

A thug swung at Spider-Man, prompting Spider-Man to catch the fist in his hand, more or less cupping it. He shot some webbing into the thug's eye and kicked him back, shooting some webbing at him. Than his Spider-Sense went off, but it wasn't from any of the thugs, but rather the truck itself.

Unbeknownst to everyone in the cargo space, including the wall crawling hero, the truck took a hard right to the next turn, causing everyone in the cargo space to go flying to their left and slamming into the left wall of the cargo space.

Crates, machine guns, money, everything in the car went flying into the left of the vehicle's cargo space.

Spider-Man, in the process of slamming into the wall, ended up getting a steel container to collide right into his chest, breaking the lid open and having some sort of black goo oozing out all over his costume as he and the rest of the thugs fell to the ground.

Spider-Man got up to his feet and instantly looked to his chest and bellowed at the scene of black ooze on his costume, bellowing at it.

"Eugh!" He grunted, "Talk about rich, thick and creamy! What is this stuff?" He placed his hand on the goopy substance, it felt very squelchy and gooey, moving his hand back, he looked in disgust as the goo stretched out and stuck onto his finger tips.

"Great! Just Great! Now I'm gonna have to wash this damn thing!" Spider-Man let out a sigh.

Spider-Man glanced up, seeing the all unconscious robbers, rolling his eyes he just webbed them up to keep them in place, still not being sure of what they actually stole, not realizing the item they stole was right on him!

Spider-Man crawled out of the cargo space and onto the outer part of the armored truck, to stop the two who were in the front.

One of them noticed Spider-Man and pointed their gun at them, "OH NO!" He screamed, "YOU ARE NOT COMPROMISING THIS OPERATION WEBHEAD! DO YOU HEA--" Spider-Man shot some webbing in his mouth and the muzzle of his gun.

"Yeah! Yeah! Look I don't know what you stole, but whatever it is, the police are gonna have to deal with it!" Spider-Man crawled up the armored truck and gazed at the road. There was an intersection coming up, and judging by the driver, he was gonna go for another hard right, so Spider-Man needed to act fast.

Spider-Man crawled over towards the driver window, it was rolled up, for the reason that the driver also was shooting at the police whilst driving. "Man if I were a real cop I'd deduct so many demerit points off this guy!"

Spider-Man tapped on the driver's shoulder. This prompted the driver to glance at his left, only for him to be met with a punch, square in the face. Spider-Man used the time to fire a bunch of webbing right in front of the vehicle, creating a life sized spider-web which stretched out from one building across the other.

This prompted the police to all hit their brakes and lower speed of their vehicles. Watching as the armored truck crashed into the web, getting stuck onto it.

Spider-Man pulled both the driver and passenger out of the vehicle starting with driver, the thug whom he was closer too and crawling towards the other side of the truck and pulling out the passenger. Tossing both of them on the ground and to the police, who'd all at that point rushed to the scene.

Spider-Man decided to swing off, needing to take care of one more thing, "Hopefully 'The Enforcers' stayed put."

***

Spider-Man made it back to the area in which he'd left the Enforcers, only to stop right in his tracks, they were nowhere to be in sight, instead were a bunch of Police officers and SWAT Officers lying on the ground. His lenses widened, "OH NO!" He rushed over to the officers, making sure the worst hadn't happened.

"Hey!" He began shaking an officer, "Hey you! Are you alive?"

The officer had black hair and two whitish gray stripes going down his hair, he had light purple skin and wore blue shades, the man's name was, Officer Ringo

He woke up, stuttering a little, as his eyes were focusing he found himself looking at Spider-Man, confused he arched an eyebrow, "Uh... Spider-Man?" He sounded almost hesitant, trying to figure out whether he was hallucinating or not.

"Y-YES!" Spider-Man blurted out, "Yeah welcome back to consciousness, now can you tell me what happened?"

Ringo sat upright, rubbing his head, feeling some pain from it, "Gah!" He grumbled, from rubbing what felt like a bump, "Well the police force rushed over here after getting calls about, well you fighting the three wanted in the chain of crimes, We went to arrest them but when we got there they all seemed to be in tip top shape because the big guy of their group knocked everyone out!"

Spider-Man glanced away for a minute, thinking he might have a chance he glanced back, "How long ago did you respond to the calls?"

"I don't know, about 8:50ish!" Ringo replied.

Spider-Man took out his phone from his pocket, opening it up he looked at the time, "Damn it's already 9:15! They've probably already escaped!"

Spider-Man got to his feet and leapt in the air, firing a webline, the fight he'd thought he had won went terribly wrong. Arcing his webline he glanced down back at his chest, still covered in that black ooze. He let out an angered sigh, "Great, just great!"

He decided to swing back to Fisk Towers, "I beat the bad guy's first try and they end up escaping! To make matters worse, now my costume is covered in... well whatever this is!" He glanced down at the ooze again, "Well, might as well get some pictures at Fisk Towers and maybe get some decent paycheck!"

Spider-Man than looked down at his chest, "Well, I might as well take this thing off for now and put it in the laundry bin at home!" Spider-Man changed directions, deciding to swing home as fast possible and take off his costume. In all honesty he didn't even want to see it right now. Not just because it had a grotesque substance on it but also because he couldn't stop The Enforcers. After what happened tonight, he'll consider himself and Spider-Man a failure until he catches them and puts them away for good!

***

Flash crawled through his bedroom window, closing it behind him. Taking his costume off he threw into his closet and grabbed a black sweatshirt and some tan jogger pants. Putting them on he grabbed his camera and phone. He went over to his night stand and grabbed his keys.

Walking into the living room he walked over to the balcony to see what the road would look like, to no surprise it was busy, Flash sighed, "It's gonna take me ages to get there!" But he was defiant on web-slinging right now, obviously for the reason that, his suit needed to be cleaned and he would be out of his mind if he was gonna do that without the Spider-Man costume.

Then Flash's phone went off, a text message had been sent to him. Taking his phone out, he smiled when he saw the text was from Sunset.

Reading it, it said: "Hey Lightning⚡ Just wanted to know if you're gonna come by or not?"

Flash chuckled a little, unlocking his phone, he texted her back saying: "I just gotta get a few more pictures, but by the looks of it I think I can manage to come by!"

Flash waited as he got response back, only a few seconds later he did, He read it to himself, "Oh... well at least I have something to look forward to, call me when you arrive, k love you!" It had a heart emoji at the end, making Flash smile even more.

"Well.... that makes the both of us." He texted back.

Flash started to feel a lot better after just having a brief conversation with Sunset.

…..

ISSUE #5 CHAPTER 5:What is this?

After a long night of chasing criminals and watching a few adventure movies, Flash made it back home to his apartment. He was exhausted, quite exhausted. He felt like he was all over the town tonight, but even so he felt that not much really came out of it.

With the exception of stopping a bunch of robbers and getting to relax with his girlfriend, there was still The Enforcers, they were still on the loose and Flash believed it was all his fault. He felt that there was a better way to stop them in their tracks but he didn't know how.

He walked into his room, placing his camera and phone down on his desk. Walking over to his nightstand he placed his key on the top of it. Going to his closet, he grabbed an undershirt and took off his sweatshirt. Putting on the undershirt, he pulled his pants off, revealing striped boxer shorts.

Flash walked over to his bed, it wasn't very well made, as he'd left it like that when he left for Manhattan just a week ago. He crawled onto his bed and draped the covers over him. "I just hope things wont get any worse tommorow!" Closing his eyes he began drifting off

But what he didn't know was, he was being watched. But he wasn't being watched by someone, he was being watched by something!

Just inside his closet was his Spider-Man suit, on top of the suit laid the black ooze, all over his suit. It looked to be moving, crawling slowly off the red and blue costume and towards the door of the closet. Though it didn't have any eyes, it peered out the closet door.

It saw Flash's arm, dangling off the edge of his bed. It seemed to be intrigued , intrigued by the flesh covered limb. It continues to crawl on the ground, emerging out of the closet door and towards Flash's arm. It was getting closer, and closer, and closer!

Until.....

It made contact!

The ooze stretched out and upwards and touched the finger tips of Flash's finger, and soon beginning to cover his whole hand.

Flash, still asleep began squirming around, his teeth clenching, he was having a nightmare...

Flash found himself fighting a black, shadowy figure.

He was in Canterlot City but it wasn't his Canterlot City. The place was empty, looked like a ghost town. The sky was looking like the Sun had just set but in the distance, stood the moon, there was no glow from it, instead it looked more like a still meteor in the sky, all the craters clearly being defined on it. The streets had cracks in them some of the buildings looked like they were deteriorating, it looked like the end of the world had just taken place!

Flash swung his fist through the shadowy figure, his fists funneling right through it, not affecting it at all, it was like it was invincible, maybe not human.

Flash quickly brought his fist back, letting out a grunt he jumped in the air and attempted to drive a spinning tornado kick through the side of his head. The whole kick did in fact go through the side of his head, it was almost as if Flash was kicking a gas. He didn't feel any impact or collision for that matter.

Flash landed on both his feet, but that would be the last time he'd ever stand!

Without any sudden movement or warning, the Shadowy figure grabbed Flash Sentry! Extending his arm and growing his hand out, the fingers wrapping around him. That was the start of it's metamorphosis...

The shadowy figure grew bigger and bigger, becoming more like a monster! It's head grew pupiless, white, pointy eyes which ran up it's head, it then.. grew a mouth! It looked like it was a toothless black void into the abyss.

The shadow monster raised it's arm up, holding Flash just above it's mouth. Flash looked in horror, his eyes widened, his mouth hanging open, he could feel himself shiver in fear.

And then....

Drop..

The monster let go of Flash, dropping him as he plummeted towards his the black void of nothingness. Flash screamed, screamed in peril! It was scary, it was terrifying, it was, it was....

"A dream?"

Flash was hanging upside down on a web in the middle of Canterlot City. But something was different, something looked different! Flash looked at himself through the reflection of a building, but it wasn't him, it was.... Spider-Man?

Or was it?

Flash leapt onto the wall, he looked at a reflection of a figure in all black, with big white, pupiless eyes that resembled those of Spider-Man's lenses. On his torso was a large, white spider logo which was wide and ran down his whole torso, "What is this?"

It didn't feel like cloth at all, in fact it didn't feel like anything at all, not even flesh! There was wind blowing but Flash couldn't even feel the slightest breeze.

Flash chuckled gesturing with his hands, peering at himself, "This... feels good...."

Spider-Man leapt off the wall and dived towards the road, letting out a scream of excitement, "WOOOO!"

He glanced up onto a crane that was up real high, merely outstretching his arm, a strand of black webbing came out of the top of his hand. "Wow? This is new!" The webbing soared through the sky and stuck onto the crane.

Spider-Man snagged the almost unseen webline and swung at almost outrageous speeds. Arcing the webline, he let go of it and it was like he soared through the air, high in the sky! Flying right past multiple buildings!

"WOAH!" Flash exclaimed, "I've never been able to do this before!"

He began diving back down, not even being phased by the wind that was blowing into his body. He fired another webline, flicking his hand down this time, the black webbing came out of his top-hand like before. The webline glided down towards another building wall. He snagged it again, swinging downwards towards the building.

Letting go of the webline, he clung onto the building, panting at the amazement that he'd just been through, "I've never been the air that high before! Not to mention going past all those buildings!"

It almost didn't even dawn on Flash that somehow he woke up in the middle of the street and in a new suit, he was completely distracted by how tremendous the suit was, "It's like this suit has.. made my 'spiderness' even better!" shaking his head in disbelief, he chuckled a little, "This is something else!"

Spider-Man climbed through the window to his bedroom, closing it. He'd finally come back home after that whole adventure through the city in the new 'black suit' as he dubbed it.

He pulled on what he assumed to be the sleeve of the suit, it was very firm and strong, not being stretched at all by Flash's spider strength, "Hmm? So how does this come off--" He was stopped, suddenly the suit looked as though it was forming into something, with his quote on quote mask completely retracting off his face, surrounded by a small blue aura, but that wasn't the case, instead the suit became, clothing, a black hoodie, black jeans and black sneakers.

Flash's eyes widened, "Did.. that just happen?" He ran to his washroom and checked the mirror. His eyes were not deceiving him, he was wearing clothing. He felt the sleeve of the hoodie, it felt too real, it kind of weirded Flash out, "Okay... that's gonna take some getting used to."

He stroked his chin, "Spider-Man." And in an instance, that same blue aura came around him and the suit covered his body again. He looked into the suit, it seemed that the eyes were moving according to Flash's facial expression behind the mask.

He tried again, "Flash Sentry?" than, it happed again, going through the same retracting process with the blue aura surrounding him and in no time he was wearing the same clothing moments ago. "HAH! I don't believe it, I don't even need to spend 15 minutes changing into it."

But then, it finally dawned on Flash, "Wait?! WHERE DID THIS THING COME FROM?!" Flash was so distracted by the suits awesome powers he didn't even know where it came from. Than his eyes widened, "Wait a minute!" He ran out of his bathroom and back into his bedroom.

Opening his closet in a hurry he grabbed his actual Spider-Man costume, the one he knew for a fact was stained with black ooze. He shook it once and peered at the suit, his eyes widened even more, the ooze was gone. "It's gone? Wait, no..." He backed up for a minute, throwing his Spider-Man costume back into the closet, "Is that ooze responsible for all of this?!"

Flash looked at his arm, "No it has to be a coincidence!" He shook his head, trying to deny the fact that there was sludge all over his body, "Oh who am I kidding, THIS IS THE OOZE!" He felt a shiver go down his spine, he had some unknown ooze all over him.

But then, he stopped, he thought about what had just happen moments before outside the city, he couldn't deny it, the ooze made him more powerful, "But... is it really that bad of a thing?" His tone eerily changed quickly, going from nervously scared to curiously nonchalant.

"Maybe... it's for the best? I'm not seeing anything wrong with it not to mention it hasn't done anything.... I'm faster, stronger, and better than ever! And I can hardly tell it's there it....I guess there's no harm in keeping it.."

He chuckled, "Pajama's!" Flash's clothing glowed a blue aura for a moment before the suit did it's thing. Changing the hoodie, pants and shoes into a black light weight cotton collared shirt and black flannel pants. Flash headed towards his bed, crawling onto it and draping the blanket over him.

"Yup! Life is gonna be pretty interesting from now on!" He closed his eyes and began to fall asleep again, now feeling more relaxed, even forgetting about his worries earlier tonight.
…….

ISSUE #5 CHAPTER 6:The new Spider-Man!/An Alien Lifeform?!

Meanwhile in an abandoned subway station, The Big Man, The Enforcers and The Tinkerer all met there. The Tinkerer was adding upgrades to Shocker's suit, giving it an even bigger power supply and working on newer gauntlets. Meanwhile, Big Man was baffled.

"YOU MEAN YOU LET EM' GET AWAY?!" Big Man grit his teeth and clenched his fists.

Ricochet and OX both backed up, both in fear as Big Man was the most threatening person they'd met, "DON'T LOOK AT US!" Exclaimed Ricochet, "MO WAS THE ONE WHO CALLED IT OFF!"

OX nodded his head, agreeing with Ricochet, "YEAH WHAT HE SAID!"

Big Man glared at Montana who found himself shrugging, maintaining a nonchalant tone, "Sorry Big Man, but my damn suit ran out of power, besides my damn suit decided to show some o' it's inconvenient flaws."

"Yes about that!" a man with whitish gray hair and chin hair, wearing a lab coat and glasses walked into the room. This was The Tinkerer and he was holding the Shocker suit with the new gauntlets, "I think you'll find this suit to be superior, with an even better power supply than before!" He handed Montana the suit.

Montana peered at the suit, and the new gauntlets, they were much more smaller compared to the bigger clunky ones he had, the also both had red lines going down them. He furrowed his eyebrows, "What's with the new tech bracelets er whatever?"

"They hold their own separate power supplies, both being able to hold the equivalent amount to your old suit" He then handed him a charging dock, "They are both rechargeable, but remember, they will only be necessary once your suit fully runs out of power."

Montana formed a wicked grin across his face, "Alright Doctor! I'll take yer word!" He glanced at both of his partners OX and Ricochet, "Boys! Look's like we better resume our hunt!"

Ricochet rolled his eyes, "It's about damn time!"

Big Man however had a different idea, something he should've done from the start. "No!" The Enforcers all turn their heads at The Stern looking Big Man.

"What do you mean no?" OX asked, "I thought you wanted us to squash him?"

Big Man shook his head, "You three clearly couldn't get the job done yourselves, so were doing a new plan!" He folded his arms, "Find Spider-Man, give him a good beating, AND BRING HIM TO ME!" He let all his hatred pour out, making The Enforcers flinch.

Shocker regained his posture and nodded his head, "Yes sir it will be done!" The three moved out rather quickly, making the Tinkerer chuckle.

"Well I better be heading down to CTU." said the Tinkerer, "You have fun with your Spider-Man hunt!" He walked off, going in the same direction that The Enforcers.

It was early in the morning, just past the crack of dawn. The city was in it's usual busy state, cars driving, people walking and pigeons flying.

But then suddenly, tires were heard screeching on the ground.

That's when a car hauling truck barreled to it's next turn. The people driving the car were two robbers, a man and a woman wearing guy fawkes masks, they were the Gonzales Twins.

Jone was behind the wheel, trying to manhandle the vehicle while Jane had her head out the window, having difficulty at shooting multiple police cars.

She glanced back at her brother, "Uh? Jone, it wouldn't hurt to speed up a little!"

"I'm trying!" He grit his teeth, "This is a lot harder than it looks!"

"Well try harder!" She protested before glancing out the window and beginning to shoot the police again.

But just around the corner, a black strand of web traveled through air and stuck onto a building. Bystanders peered at the rope like webline for a moment before they watched as a black blur travelled past them. It left them shook, wondering what they'd just witness.

I'll tell you what they witnessed, they witnessed, 'The New Black suited Spider-Man!'. He let go of his webline while it was on the arc and began barreling through the sky, something he usually never did, but thanks to his 'new suit' he was able to go a bit haywire and do things like that.

"WOOO! WHAT A RUSH!" He exclaimed. He dove towards the hood of the truck, with the intentions of completely surprising the robbers. "Man this is really going to take some getting used to!"

The robbers were about to head for another turn, when suddenly things took a turn for the worst. "Shit!" Bellowed Jane.

"What, What is it?" asked Jone.

"The damn thing is out of ammo!" She threw her automatic machine pistol away in a fit of annoyance, "That was my only gun!"

"Wha--? You didn't think to pack more?!"

"I DIDN'T PLAN FOR IT ESCALATE THIS BADLY JOEY!" She protested.

Than suddenly, Jones view of the was blocked as Spider-Man landed on the truck. The two both screamed, being startled by Spider-Man, or who they thought to be Spider-Man, honestly they didn't know, but at the same time didn't care to know because he'd just come out of nowhere.

Spider-Man peered at the two for a moment, "Wow looks like Ski Masks aren't the latest fashion trend anymore!" He flicked his fists down, letting out more of the suits webbing, covering the whole windshield in it. He glanced behind him, his eyes widening, they were heading straight for a wall!

"Uh-Oh!" He climbed down to the front of the barreling vehicle. He thought fast,"I don't have enough time to make a full web wall!.... Looks like I'm gonna have to find another way to stop the driving force! , nervously gulping, thinking of one idea! "Well let's hope I can actually pull this off!"

He stretched out both his arms and started firing multiple weblines onto multiple buildings, side by side, across from one another, anyplace he could fire weblines on.

Suddenly, he felt himself be slightly pushed back, holding onto all the weblines he fired with both hands. But, he didn't feel any sort of strains on his arms, in fact he felt a little relaxed, like none of the compression force was affecting him. "I don't believe it! Its like I'm standing in plain air right now, I don't feel a thing!"

The truck began to slow down at an almost unnatural rate, and soon enough it stopped.

Spider-Man himself was in disbelief, "Wow.... Just wow!" He had never been able to do that before. He looked down at his suit, "Man would I ever do without you!" Then he had another idea, he had his camera with him and the paparazzi hadn't showed up yet, "Well might as well blow Jonah away!"

He took his camera out of his suit, a new thing he'd learn about it was he could store his phone, camera, just about anything really, in his suit, making things much more easier on him. He glanced up at a light post, leaping up onto it and placing his camera there with some webbing as reinforcement.

"Okay make this look interesting Sentry!" He leapt up on top of the truck, then he fired a webline onto a building. He stood their, waiting for the right moment, counting in his head for his camera to go off.

"Now!"

He leapt up and swung, just as the camera flashed and snapped the shot. As he swung he grabbed his camera off the light post and put it back in his suit. "The Bugle is definitely gonna love this! The internet's gonna go nuts once they read the headline, 'The New Spider-Man!'" Spider-Man then furrowed his eyes, thinking whether or not that was a headline worth reading, "Well whatever J.J comes up with!"

Spider-Man grabbed his phone out to check the time, "Hmm? 6:56, The Internship starts in 15 minutes, might as well head there!" He changed directions of where he was going, letting go of his webline, turning his body around and firing another webline.

As he swung however, he realized that the Daily Bugle wasn't far from his location. Thinking about it, he decided to take a little detour, "Well... I mean I don't wanna hang onto these pictures for too long. Probably should head too the print shop though!"

He changed directions again, letting go of his webline and firing a new one from his top hand and heading towards a photo print shop and then, towards Daily Bugle.

***

Spider-Man arrived at the top of the Daily Bugle building, where he was out of plain sight, well in terms of human sight. "Okay suit! Flash Sentry!" A blue aura glowed around Spider-Man, the suit began forming into a hoodie and pants like it did last night.

Now he was less conspicuous and looked more average so to speak. "Man this beats changing for fifteen minutes any day!" Flash was more than happy with this 'new suit' of his, it was like the world finally listened to him and gave him something helpful.

He opened the door, the one that led directly to the staircase, luckily it wasn't so much of a long way down for Flash as thankfully, the office he always headed too was on the top floor.

Going down a flight of stairs he reached the door leading to the top floor officers. He stuffed his hand in his hoodie pocket, grabbing the picture out of his hoodie. It was a really big picture, just the size of an 8x11 inch paper, being a bit smaller, he smirked, "If this doesn't get on the front page I don't know what will."

He opened the door, walking through it and closing it. Despite the early morning, The Bugle was pretty packed, with editors and photographers already working on the clock, rushing through everything, making sure they get on before deadline.

"Man, when does this place open?" Flash thought to himself.

He walked through what he sometimes considered, 'The Paper Jungle.' Walking near J.Jonah Jameson's office he noticed that his level-headed secretary, Betty Brant was nowhere in sight, "Odd, Betty's usually always here before I am." He peered at the empty chair for a moment before shrugging, "Maybe she has a day-off or something."

He walked into Jameson's office, only to be met with Robbie Robertson. "Robbie?" Flash walked into the room with a furrowed eyebrow, "What is J.J still sick?"

Mr. Robertson glanced at Flash, "Oh hey Flash!" he greeted, "Well it's more than Jonah, a lot of our staff has been catching the cold recently, you know, Jackelyn, Raphael, heck I think Betty's gotten sick too.

Flash's eyes widened a little, "Really?!… Well that explains why she's not here today."

"So what brings you to The Bugle this early?" asked Mr. Robertson, "Usually we see you come In mid day."

Flash handed the picture of Spider-Man to Mr. Robertson, "I actually just came by to give you this new picture I snapped of, well I assume to be Spider-Man." Flash obviously was faking his cluelessness, just to be able to sell the picture.

Mr. Robertson's eyes widened, "Flash, what is this?" He sounded shocked, but not particularly in a bad way, "Oh this is definitely news worthy, Spidey saving the day in a new pair of threads."

Flash chuckled, "You know most headlines involving Spider-Man seem to always have the word menace."

"That's just Jonah!" said Mr. Robertson, brushing off the comment, "But speaking of Jonah, how much does he usually pay you for your pictures?"

Flash blinked twice, "Well, four to five hundred really." He shrugged.

Mr. Robertson's shoulders dropped, there were many absurd things he'd heard in The Daily Bugle in all his years but this might take the cake, "Four to five hundred?" He was baffled, "HOW?!"

Flash furrowed his eyebrows, "Is that overpriced?"

"OVERPR--" He nearly screamed before letting out a sigh and pinching the bridges of his nose, stopping himself, "Flash are you for real, people would pay over a thousand for something like this!"

Flash's eyes widened, "A THOUSAND?! B-BUT I THOUGHT THAT $400 WAS THE STANDARD RATE FOR A KID LIKE ME!"

"Sentry... you gotta start bargaining more, not standing around and take what you get!" He took out his wallet, "Now, I'm gonna pay you $1200, and don't you dare try to refuse it." He handed Flash the stack of cash, "Once Jonah gets back, I'm gonna put in a good word for you and get your salary increased because there is no way you should be getting payed this low for pictures as good as these."

Flash shot up his hands, "Oh no, Mr. Robertson you-you don't have to do that, really I--"

"That's an order!" His stern tone stopped Flash in his tracks, making him merely nod his head and walk out the office.

As Flash walked out he was trying to process what had just happened, he looked at the cash he'd been given, he hadn't seen so much since the whole wrestling match. He put it in his jacket and found himself smirking while his mouth was still hanging open.

"Man... things just keep getting better for me!" He ran out towards the staircase again, feeling more ecstatic than ever, now setting off towards the Canterlot Tech Laboratories

***

Spider-Man landed right onto the wall of the lab department to CTU, just above the entrance. "Okay, Flash Sentry!" The suit had a blue aura around it before turning into a hoodie, black pants and black shoes. But then Flash stroked his chin, "Hmm? well maybe a windbreaker would be more comfortable!" His torso had blue aura around it, before the hoodie became a black windbreaker with white stripes and an Adidas logo on the chest.

Flash chuckled a little and shrugged, "Hmm? More of a Nike guy but whatever" He leapt off the wall and headed for the entrance.

"Hey Sentry, wait up!" Flash glanced behind him, it was his co-worker Sugarcoat. As soon as she caught up to Flash, she stopped, she bent down and panted, "Jesus you are a hard person to catch up with!"

Flash chuckled even more, "Is it really that, or are you just trying to exaggerate the long distance you ran to reach this point?"

Sugarcoat glanced up at him and smugly smirked, "Okay Einstein, being literal and blunt is my bit!" She stood up straight, "But honestly you're more competent than that Micro Chips character! Why'd you even ask him to fill in for you?"

"Hey come on, that guy's like my brother! and besides he seemed like a fair substitute" said Flash, "Oh yeah, he said something about finally getting you to date him? Wanna elaborate?"

"He WHAT!?" Sugarcoat's eyes widened, her teeth gritting but a noticeable red on her cheeks. "When I get my hands on him!" She grumbled viciously.

"So am I supposed take that as a yes?"

She glanced at Flash, calming down a bit, "Look, he just... wouldn't stop asking!" She flailed her arms out in annoyance, "It was always, 'Oh Sugarcoat would you go out with me' o-or 'Sugarcoat please you're so beautiful!' he was always complimenting me, and well...." She trailed off for a bit, her tone changing near the end from sour to nervous, leaving Flash in anticipation.

"And well what?" he gestured his hands for her to keep going.

She took a moment, taking a deep breath, "And well I thought it was really cute-- why don't we go inside!" She shuffled her feet towards the door.

Flash couldn't help to chuckle even more but shrugged his arms, "Alright, whatever you say."

She pushed the entrance door opened, walking inside with Flash following. Heading towards the entrance to the lab, they could hear Professor Discord and what sounded like he was arguing with someone.

Sugarcoat glanced at Flash, "What do you think is going on there?"

Flash shrugged, "Let's find out." Without any second thought, he pushed the lab entrance doors opened. He saw two people inside, Professor Discord, and a blonde headed person in a lab coat that he'd never seen before, the most eye catching feature was he had a prosthetic arm.

The two scientists turned their heads towards the doorway, seeing both the interns, "Ah, good morning you two!" Professor Discord nodded.

The two nodded. "And you are?..." Sugarcoat asked, gesturing for an answer.

"Hmm?-- Oh yes", he gestured his arms at the person Sugarcoat was wondering about, "Flash, Sugarcoat, This is Doctor Curt Connors.

"Pleasure to meet you both." He gave out his hand to shake.

Flash blinked twice, "Wait you're Doctor Curt Connors." he grabbed his hand and shook it, "The Geneticist at Equestria State?"

He arched an eyebrow as they continued shaking hands, "Are you familiar with my work?" letting go of Flash's hand he shakes Sugarcoat's hand.

"Well, kinda." Flash shrugged, "Me and my friend did a presentation that went in-depth about your theory of Lizard DNA in tenth grade, oh by the way that theory is brilliant and could possibly translate well if you made a stable serum."

Doctor Connors smirked, "Impressive, most tenth grade students I meet seem to only be interested in the Chemistry aspect of high school."

Flash chuckled, "Well, I mean.. I've kind of been more interested in technology and physics but I kinda have a soft spot for Biology."

"So what exactly were you two skirmishing for?" asked Sugarcoat, trying to change the conversation.

"Well you see, Connors here has lost an important so-on-so, 'un-native organism' that was found on a space shuttle."

"I didn't lose it!" Protested Doctor Connors, "It was stolen, I swear!"

Flash's and Sugarcoat's eyes widened, putting the pieces together in that sentence they realized un-native was another word for alien.

Sugarcoat adjusted her glasses, "Wait?! So you're basically saying that Doctor Connors lost an alien life form?"

"Or it got stolen?" Flash chimed in.

"Well, yes!" said Doctor Connors, "Well the stolen part anyway, the police caught the perpetrators"

"How does an Alien Lifeform get stolen?" asked Sugarcoat, "Wouldn't there be maximum security surrounding it or something?"

"Well yes! We put it in the most secure containment chamber we could build, not to mention we had alarm systems programmed at night, it seemed almost impossible for someone to take it."

Flash arched an eyebrow, "What happened?"

Professor Discord chimed in, "Well apparently, a group of criminals planned a robbery, hacking into the mainframe security at Equestria state and snatching the alien lifeform from the chamber and putting it into a thermos or something."

Sugarcoat raised an eyebrow, "Wait then how did the police know the lifeform was being stolen?"

"They were amateurs, apparently they only hacked into one alarm system that secured the organism, otherwise they were being livestreamed by NASA who had live feed to the laboratory and quickly called the authorities to the location."

"Were they caught?" asked Flash.

Doctor Connors let out a sigh, "Well thankfully yes, Spider-Man came in and stopped the attempted robbery."

Flash's eyes widened, "Did he just say Spider-Man?!"

"But when they searched the van the alien lifeform was gone, now they have no idea of where it went."

Flash was trying to figure out what in the world Doctor Connors was talking about, but then he realized what he was talking about, remembering everything from last night, "T-The Truck I stopped last night! That's why there were so many police chasing after it, but I don't remember seeing anything out of the ordinary! Unless.. he discretely glanced down at his clothes, but before he could even think he heard the doors to the lab open.

"Am I interrupting?" The four all glanced back at the door and saw a man with white hair and chin hair, glasses and a lab coat walk in.

"Oh, Doctor Mason!" Discord Nodded, "Oh no there's nothing eventful going on in here."

Flash and Sugarcoat look at each other with confused looks, shrugging as to who Doctor Mason is.

Discord glances at the two, "Oh yes, Flash, Sugarcoat, this is Doctor Phineas Mason, Doctor Mason, this is Sugarcoat and Flash Sentry."

"Mm yes, The professor here seems to speak very highly of you two." He shook hands with both of them.

Sugarcoat glanced at Flash and gave him a blunt smirk, "So you know him to?" Flash merely shrugged, not knowing who this guy was.

Doctor Mason glanced at Doctor Connors, holding a sheet of paper with some analytics on it, "Connors our team has finally gotten some information about the organism you sent us, but for all we know this might be the only information we'll get."

"Well what did you get about it?"

Professor Discord glanced at Flash and Sugarcoat, "Uh you two, um with all due respect, go find something to do, this is kind of a, 'grownup situation' if you get my gist."

Both of them blinked twice and nodded, going towards a table with lab equipment.

***

Spider-Man swung through the city, thinking about the news he'd learn earlier today, the fact that an alien lifeform was bonded onto him.

"Face it Sentry! You have an Alien lifeform now bonded with you and you don't even know what it could do!" He let go of his webline and turned left, just near Equestria State University. "You should just return it and go back to being normal Spider-Man! It's not even ethical to be hauling this thing around!"

Spider-Man clung onto a statue, just overlooking Equestria State University, "Okay... here I go!" he stood there on the statue, still looking at the sleekly designed, huge glass building, "Gonna return that suit now!" but he didn't move an inch.

He let out a sigh, "Oh great the thing has grown on me so much I don't even want to let it go" He leaned his head back onto and rested it onto the surface of the statue, "It's made life so much better--but it's not right, I have to return this thing!" He let out a growl of annoyance, "Why am I always in tough dilemmas!"

Suddenly, Spider-Man heard a crowd of people all speaking and screaming among one another. His eyes furrowed, glancing behind him he looked behind him and saw a building burning from the top floor. His eyes widened, "Oh my god!"
…….

ISSUE #5 CHAPTER 7:I want some answers!

Leaping off the stone monument, he flicked his wrist down and fired a webline from his top hand and swung over towards the scene.

He let go of his webline and clung onto a building, close to where the fire was happening, it looked bad from before, but now it looked worse up close. His eyes squinted, "This is definitely not good!" He looked down onto the street, seeing a bunch of firefighters and some officers.

He took out his camera from his suit. He set the camera on a timer and swung off towards the ground, "Let's hope it isn't anything to serious."

He swung downwards, letting go of his webline he landed right on top of the fire truck, startling a few firefighters and officers, "Hey guys!" He saluted with two fingers, "So uh, what's going on here?"

All of the officers and firefighters furrowed their eyebrows, looking at the figure that was on top of the firetruck, but it didn't take long to realize who it was.

"Sp-Spider-Man?" a hesitant firefighter asked.

"Yeah look so I decided to switch things up for the new year, but uh" He pointed his arms at the building on fire, "What's going on here?"

The firefighter blinked for a minute before shaking his head and focusing, "OH! Well a fire just broke out a few minutes ago and we've been trying to contain it, the worst part is police believe there is still a person trapped at the top floor!"

Spider-Man glanced up at the building, "Okay I'll have a check on it!"

The firefighter's eyes widened, "WAIT IT'S WAY TOO--" But before he could finish, Spider-Man shot out two strands of webbing, walking back a little, he shot himself up in the air, going past fifteen stories out of the eighteen, "DA-ngerous, way too dangerous!"

The firefighter let out a sigh, "May god be with that guy!"

Spider-Man landed onto the building with his feet and sprinted up the last two stories. At his last step he leapt off the wall, executing a somersault mid-air, firing a webline just at the thin edge of the buidlings glass frame, he swung forward, towards the smoke covered window.

*CRASH!*

He crashed in through the window! Landing on the floor, avoiding some flames from touching him. Landing on the ground he looked around, "Hello? IS ANYONE IN HERE!?" he screamed.

Nothing, the only thing to be heard was the crackling of the fire around him. He glanced up at the ceiling, not having much options he jumped up and clung onto the ceiling, "I just hope I'm not toast by the end of this!"

He began crawling on the wall, cautiously, probably the most slowest he'd ever been today. He looked around, still no sign of anyone in the top floor, but then suddenly.

"My Spider-Senses are tingiling!" He glanced behind him and saw what look liked a blue ball of shockwave energy coming right at him. He let go of the ceiling and landed on the ground. "What was that?!" He turned his head and seriously gazed into the direction in which the blast was fired.

He heard the most unthinkable thing possible. Among all the crackling fire, fire and smoke alarms and things burning he heard the most unthinkable and kind of eerie, he heard whistling, a person whistling a small catchy tune.

"WHO'S DOING THAT?!" His eyes squinted, trying to look for something or for that matter, someone. But he got more than what he bargained for.

The whistling went on for a bit until...

He heard footsteps accompany the whistling.

And after that

A silhouette accompany both the whistling and footsteps. As it got closer and closer to Spider-Man, two more began walking from the opposite direction, right behind Spider-Man's back, one of which being a big silhoutte , it soon dawned on him that the silhouette wasn't someone in danger.

"Oh, it's you!" Spider-Man clenched his fists and put them up.

"My, My Mister Spider-Man!" Said The Silhouette got closer and evntually the shadow let out, revealing him to be the Shcoker, "Yer offly a smart fella!"

"So are you alone on this one? where's your friends at?"

Shocker chuckled and mocked him, "So much for calling you a smart fella!" He snapped his finger, signalling for OX.

Spider-Man glanced behind him, realizing that the rest of The Enforcers are right behind him. Just as he turned his head, OX began charging at him.

But Spider-Man was way too smart to be caught by someone like OX. He flipped into the air, just as OZ tried to grasp him. Spider-Man ended up landing right on top of OX's head.

OX paused, thinking he had Spider-Man right where he wanted, acting slowly at first, he slowly raised his arms up and then with no hesitation, he attempted to grasp Spider-Man, prompting Spider-Man to jump off his head, making OX miss him and making him clasp his hands together.

Spider-Man jumped back and landed on the floor, just as he did his Spider-Sense went off, glancing back, he saw that he was about to be hit by Ricochet's boot. Using the few seconds he had he caught the armored foot and without thinking, he heaved him across the room.

As Ricochet flew mid-air, he rebounded himself and curled up in a ball and bounced off a wall, barreling in the air, towards Spider-Man direction.

Spider-Man lowered himself, outstretching his right leg and bending his left knee, while putting both hands on the ground and ducking his head.

This caused Ricochet to slightly scrape the edge of Spider-Man's back and instead hit the unintended target OX, right in the stomach.

Spider-Man stood up, with a grand and string posture, he stood right in front of them.

Ricochet got himself up and off the ground, meanwhile OX stopped clenching his stomach and looked at his armor, there was a small dent on it, but nothing too serious. Ricochet glanced at Spider-Man, that furrowing an eyebrow, something seemed offly different about him.

Than he realized it, widening his eyes and pointing at Spider-Man, "Dude, what happened to your suit?"

But instead of answering it, Spider-Man had decided to completely dodge the question and decided to steer the conversation in a different direction "You know what, no." He hissed, "This time I ask the questions" He pointed at the three, "For starters, I want to know about this Big Man! Who is he?!" He began walking at them in a threatened manner.

Shocker rolled his eyes, "Gee when ol' Marko said that you were dumb, I didn' think he was bein' serious!"

Spider-Man clenched his fists, he was done messing around, he needed to stop the source off all the super-criminals and he knew for a fact the only lead he had was 'The Big Man', he grit his teeth under his mask and let out a yell, "ANSWER ME!" He lunged towards the three.

OX knew that this was his time, he stood in front of the two Enforcers, trying to act as a brick wall to Spider-Man.

But that wasn't enough to stop the Black Suited Spider-Man!

He bellowed,"MOVE!" Spider-Man not thinking twice, he pushed OX with his arms, using all his might! This surprised OX completely as he felt the unexpected force that Spider-Man expected, causing him to fly back taking Shocker and Ricochet with him.

*CRASH!*

OX and the two other Enforcers went flying out the window, but Shocker and Ricochet came perfectly prepared, Ricochet leaped off OX and curled into a ball, heading for a building wall while Shocker had come with a parachute, just in case something did go 'haywire' as he'd put it.

Meanwhile OX fell to the ground, but even if he did hit the ground, it wouldn't affect him as he had the same durability as The Rhino!

Meanwhile Spider-Man clenched his fists, "That, Stupid, WHALE OF A HUMAN BEING!" Spider-Man was not about to let them escape again, so he decided on one thing, taking out the biggest hurdle standing in his way.

He sprinted towards the hole in the wall and leaped out, by that time Both Shocker and Ricochet had landed safely, meanwhile OX crashed into the ground back first, creating a huge sink hole on the road, not to mention a crater right where he landed.

Spider-Man dived towards the ground, not even firing a webline, landing on the ground he stomped towards OX slowly, angrily breathing, "You!" He pointed at OX, "I'm particularly growig tired of you OX!" His voice had somewhat changed, like he had a double voice, it sounded scary, horrifying, maybe even menacing.

He jumped up in the air, doing a somersault before landing on OX's stomach, "And I am done with your high levels of incompetence!" He raised his fist up before driving it into OX's head, "I'm done dealing with big bone heads like you!" Raising his fist up he drove it back into OX's face, making sure to sink his fist into his face with each punch, "I WILL END THIS!" Gritting under his mask, Spider-Man raised his fist one more time before using all his might and punching OX as hard as he could! Knocking him out.

Spider-Man however wasn't done there, looking at a glass wall of a building right in front of him, he punched it, sending shards of glass to fly everywhere. Spider-Man caught one of the shards of and glanced back at OX! He leapt up and outstretched his hands, letting out some webbing and encasing his whole body in his 'new' webs. Looking at the mask OX was wearing he put both of his hands on it and broke it off, not realizing that the mask was a part of the suit.

He raised the shard of glass up, right between his eyes and he was about to jab, until....

"SPIDER-MAN!" He stopped his eyes widening, glancing back he saw Shocker and Ricochet standing behind him, Shocker pointed at him, "You, us, Bell Tower at eight tonight!"

Spider-Man dropped the shard of glass, "This Big guy wasn't worth my time anyway!" instead of going after them, Spider-Man... agreed, "Make it a date!" He hissed viciously. He leapt up and fired a webline, swinging off.

Ricochet however didn't seem to agree and wanted to take him out now, but Shocker stopped him from following him, putting his arm up.

"Leave him Ricochet, a man's word is a man's word."

Ricochet's eyes widened, he wanted to differ but Spider-Man had already swung off at that point so all's he could do was just take Shocker's word for it. He glanced over at OX, "What about OX?"

"Leave him!" ordered Shocker.

Ricochet's eyes widened even more, "What?" this time he did beg to differ, "What do you mean leave him, that's our guy! Without OX there is no Enforc--"

"RICOCHET!" Shocker put his foot down, "We can't keep pickin' up after him, we have to leave him, right now we have to move forward and finally end this nonsensical game o' cat and mouse between the bug!"

Ricochet was in disbelief, Shocker had now become so invested in killing Spider-Man it started to affect his decision making, he sighed in defeat, not really knowing what to make of any of it, "Yes Shocker"

The two ran off, evading the public and leaving OX behind, "So what about Big Man?" asked Ricochet, "I'm not sure he'll be so happy to know Spidey is still roaming the streets."

Shocker glanced at Ricochet as they were running, "Were not reporting back to him, were going straight to the clock tower!"

Ricochet let those words sink in, now Shocker was trying to hide things from Big Man, it seemed a bit too odd, but whether it was odd or not he just shrugged, "Aright! I just hope you know what you're doin'"

Shocker smirked under his mask, "Leave that stuff wit' me!"

Spider-Man crawled through the window of his apartment, camera in hand. Closing the window, his suit molded into cloth and turned into a black long sleeve and dark denim jeans. He started for his bed, sitting down on the edge of the bed, he held the camera very firmly and sat there, gazing into his camera.

He was thinking, but he wasn't thinking about the photo taking device, he was thinking about what he did, his set of actions. Questioning what went down near the end of the fight, especially with OX "Why did I act like that back there? I've never wanted to have the notion of killing someone as Spider-Man, why was it that suddenly I wanted to just go off?" Taking one hand off the camera, he peered into his hand.

"Was it... the suit? Like, some....alien effect of it?" He rotated his hand, peering into it even more.

But then, suddenly, out of the blue, Flash had a feeling of doubt go down his spine, like he was talking nonsense, "No, it can't be the suit, it's done so much good why would it--" Then he stopped, realizing that he still had the alien lifeform still bonded to him, "Wait--THE SUIT!" He staggered to his feet quickly.

"Oh no! The Suit, I still have it I gotta return it I can--" Then he stopped again.

He also realized at the same time, he had to face off against The Enforcers at 8:00 tonight at Canterlot's Bell Tower, Rutherford Tower.

He shook his head, now being opposed to giving the suit away, "No Sentry what are you thinking!" He smacked himself on the back of his head, "If you take off the suit then that means you wont have it's powers, and you need it." He looked to the window, peering at the Bell Tower from afar, "And Plus, The Enforcers wont stand a chance against me, they'll have to give up!"

He walked over to his bed, lying down on it and taking out his phone, "Until the, I guess watching vines ironically will help me pass the time."

ISSUE #5 CHAPTER 8:Ricochet's meltdown/Shockers last stand

Night time, some could say it's bone chilling, while others might say it's one of the most beautiful times of the day. But For Spider-Man, it's probably the most busiest time of his life. At this point in his life he's gone up against a hundreds maybe even thousands of goons and villains during the night, and this was no different.

The Black Suited Spider-Man complimented the night sky, he could've almost went unnoticed if it weren't for the brightest city in Equestria State.

He was heading to Rutherford Tower, Canterlot's Bell tower, one of the city's most finest and well known structure. Waiting for him was the Shocker and Ricochet.

This time Shocker thinks they have a better advantage now that OX is weighing them down, meanwhile Ricochet thinks that they're gonna have a hard time as OX was kind of the brawns that took the beating or beat the person up, leaving Shocker and Ricochet to always be the brains of their operations.

But Ricochet couldn't tell Shocker that directly, Shocker would probably lash out at him, so he played it safe and just obeyed Shocker, even if he didn't agree with it.

Spider-Man shot out a strand of webbing and snagged it, swinging up on an arc and glancing to his left, he could see the Bell tower and could hear it ring just as the time had met it's next hour. Spider-Man let go of his webline and turned left, passing a billboard.

The Billboard displayed footage of Spider-Man, holding a big shard of glass and pointing it right at OX with the headline, "Spider-Man, Threat, Menace or Attempted Murderer"

Meanwhile at the top platform of Rutherford Tower, Shocker and Ricochet waited there, waiting for Spider-Man's arrival. The platform itself had a big rusted copper bell, being controlled by some hidden gears for whenever the next hour would begin. The floors were wooden, feeling a bit rigid but was still a solid floor, there was even a small pile of leftover crates on the floor.

Shocker glanced at Ricochet who sat on the ground, leaned up against the crates and his arms folded, "Okay Dan, he's coming up close!"

Ricochet peeped one eye open, putting his thumb up, signifying that he was ready, "Alright Mo, whenever you're ready!" He got up for a moment and then hid behind the pile of crates.

Shocker grinned under his mask, "Let's just hope we can do this buttery smooth this time."

Spider-Man could see Shocker, standing there, trying to look all sinister like, "Okay Sentry, Just stay in the Zone and hand them over to the police afterwards." Spider-Man arced his webline and eventually let go, diving towards the top platform of the bell tower.

Spider-Man executed a flip through the air before landing right in front of Shocker, narrowing his eyes on him.

Shocker giggled, "Well, Well, if it ain't thee Amazin' Spider-Man."

Spider-Man rose to his feet, "Oh can it with the jokes." Spider-Man groaned, "The whole sarcastic talkative persona is my bit anyway."

Shocker chuckled, "Well, looks like I just rewrote them rules." He snapped his finger, signalling Ricochet to attack.

Ricochet did so, charging up right behind Spider-Man and raising his fist. Spider-Man didn't even need his Spider-Sense to know someone was running behind him, so quickly he pivoted and turned to face Ricochet. He caught Ricochet fist just before it even hit him.

"You know, for such a unique person you seem pretty bland in the fighting in department!" Spider-Man swiftly jabbed at Ricochet's face, stunning him, than heaving him towards the wall. Then his Spider-Sense went off.

Jumping up, he avoided a sweep kick from Shocker. Spider-Man acted quickly, driving a knife hand strike to Shocker's stomach and kneeing him.

But Spider-Man hadn't been paying much attention to Ricochet. When he heaved Ricochet, he had quickly rebounded himself and curled into a ball, hitting the wall and going straight towards Spider-Man.

That's when Spider-Man's spider-sense went off again, jumping back and flipping in the air, he avoided Ricochet. But Shocker on the meanwhile ended up being Ricochet unintended target.

*BONG! BONG!*

The curled up Ricochet collided into Shocker, knocking him into the huge bell of the bell tower, making it ring loudly from the violent amount of impact.

But then suddenly, Spider-Man felt weak. "GAHHH!" Letting out a loud cry, he got onto his knees and clutched his head, as if everything in him was falling apart. "What's going on? Why did I get weak all of a sudden?!"

Ricochet and Shocker both got of the ground, looking at the weak Spider-Man, Shocker knew they had to strike. ""Ricochet!" He pointed at the 'weakened' hero, signalling for another attack.

"I'm on it." He ran towards Spider-Man, jumping up and raising his clenched together fists in the air.

It was at that moment, Spider-Man's Spider-Sense went off. But before he could even look up, he was met with Ricochet's attack, right to the top of the head! The blow sent Spider-Man's head into the floor, breaking the surrounding floor around him and causing him to fall through the floor and onto floor below.

Ricochet went after Spider-Man, going down through the broken hole of the wooden floor and attempting to hit him foot first. Shocker on the meanwhile decided to take the stairs and meet Ricochet on the floor below.

Ricochet was just about to hit Spider-Man, his foot getting closer and closer to his chest. But then, suddenly, Spider-Man had regained all his strength and focus and caught the foot with just one hand, inches away from his chest. Spider-Man had a firm grip on the foot, making sure Ricochet couldn't move.

Then without hesitation, Spider-Man swung his arm downward, still holding onto Ricochet's foot and sending him face first to the ground. Spider-Man jumped back onto his feet and raised his foot up, just above Ricochet's stomach. But before he could act, his Spider-Sense went off.

"Oh you gotta be kidding me!" He glanced up and at Shocker, who was about to shoot a shockwave blast at him, narrowing his eyes, he leaned his body to the left, narrowly missing the blast from Shocker. Then his Spider-Sense went off again.

Looking to where his feet was set moments ago, Ricochet had staggered to his feet and lunged towards Spider-Man. Spider-Man knew where this was headed. But instead of dodging Ricochet, he decided to go with a different, time consuming, but at the same time could prove to be effective.

Spider-Man.....just blocked Ricochet's every block. Every strikes, kicks, anything Ricochet tried to do Spider-Man just kept rejecting. The two were basically contrasting each other, one being on the offensive while the other was on the defensive.

Meanwhile, Shocker was having a hard time trying to get a blast onto Spider-Man. Because of the Spidey and Ricochet interlocked in hand to hand combat Spider-Man wouldn't stay still, either moving back a or forward with each blow from Ricochet.

Shocker grimaced, "Ricochet get outta the way!" But Ricochet was too focused on the one on one with Spider-Man. Just ignoring Shocker's request and continuing to fight with Spider-Man. Shocker gritted his teeth, "RICOCHET!"

But then Ricochet finally barked back at Shocker, pushing Spider-Man aside for a moment, "Get outta the way for what huh? So you can blatantly miss like you've been doing this whole time?"

Shocker was taken back by that snide remark, "Excuse me?" Shocker angrily arched an eyebrow.

"Oh you heard me, 'Mr. I jeopardized our first attempt!'"

Shocker protested back, "HEY! That first attempt yer goin' on about was because of a slight inconvenience with the suit, what else could we have done huh?"

Spider-Man put his finger up, "Uh hey, look not that I'm against the whole working it out thing but aren't we supposed to be, oh what's the word?" He sarcastically snapped his finger three times, "Fighting?"

They both glared at Spider-Man at the moment and yelled at him at the same time, "CAN IT WEB HEAD!"

Glancing back at each other, the contiued to bark back at one and other.With Ricochet picking up on where hey left off, "Oh I don't know, there's endless possibilities, beating him to a pulp until he dies, throwing him in a wood chipper, letting OX BREAK ALL HIS BONES!"

"Oh is this what this is all about? Because I decided to leave OX behind?"

"YES! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS ABOUT!" Yelling at Shcoker, he pointed an accusing finger at him, "AFTER EVERYTHING HE'S DONE FOR YOU, YOU JUST ABANDONED HIM! AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR THAT!"

Shocker was silent for a moment. Behind his mask he had a blank expression. Adjusting the knob on his gauntlet he raised his arm up and pointed it at Shocker, "Okay, you wont have to then!" He shot one stun blast at Ricochet, than adjusting the knob on his gauntlet to maximum power.

Spider-Man, who had been standing there with folded arms widened his eyes, "He wouldn't !" He stopped crossing his arms.

Shocker smirked, "Sienarra, former compadre!"

"NO SHOCKER!" Spider-Man ran forward and outstretched his arms, firing a webline from his top hand to try and stop Shocker.

But just as Spider-Man tried to intervene, Shocker raised his other arm up and let out some Vibration waves, stopping Spider-Man and his webline. Not looking at Spider-Man, he merley responed to Spider-Man's brief act, "Stay outta this Spider!"

Without any hesitation, he fired a huge Shockwave blast at the stunned Ricochet, destroying half his armor and sending him to fall onto the ground, face first.

Spider-Man's eyes widened, as he was let go out of Shocker's vibration grasp. He looked at him with anger and a bit of shock. He bent his knees and got into an offensive position, staying silent.

Shocker grinned under his mask, "Don't worry boy, you're joinin' him!" Pointing both his gauntlets at Spider-Man. Spider-Man's eyes narrowed, raising his hand up and gesturing for Shocker to 'come at him'. That made Shocker's wicked grin even wider under his mask, or so what Spider-Man thought.

Shocker went for it, not thinking twice he blasted out both a maximum charge and a stun blast towards Spider-Man. Spider-Man however ever so quickly somersaulted out of the way, dodging the blasts. The blasts created a huge hole in the wall.

"Oh Man Jameson is gonna get at me for that one!" Than, Spider-Man had an idea, something that would make the fight easier for him. "Wait! If I lead him outside than that'll mean I'll have the advantage, I always work best in open areas."

Spider-Man ran towards the hole and stood in front of it, nodded his head at Shocker, "Hey Shocker!" He scoffed, "Let's play follow the leader!" He crawled out the hole that Shocker made and then secretly clung onto the wall, out of Shocker's sight.

Shocker meanwhile, gritted his teeth, thinking Spider-Man was trying to run away. Without thinking, he started for the hole, "Ain't nobody gonna run out on me like that!"

Spider-Man watched Shocker charge out to the hole and flailing his legs mid air. "Man and he called me the dumb one!" He leapt off the wall and dived towards Shocker. Grabbing him by the waist and as the two both fell. Spider-Man than threw Shocker away, grabbing him by a webline and tugging it.

This caused Shocker to be pulled by Spider-Man. However it was only for a moment as Spider-Man drove a punch right into Shocker's face, sending him down at fast speeds, almost inhuman.

As Shocker collided into the ground. Spider-Man effortlessly landed on the ground with two feet not even striking a pose. A big crowd of civilians gasped as at the sight of Spider-Man. Everyone backed up a little, not because of the fact that Spider-Man was fighting off a criminal, but because they thought he in fact was a criminal.

"Woah it's Spider-Man!" Parents who were at the scene with children all held them back, keeping them away from Spider-Man.

"I heard he was a criminal!" said another civilian holding a newspaper.

Spider-Man arched an eyebrow, "What?" his focus that was on the task at hand was now directed to the comments made by the civilians, "After everything I've done for this city you're calling me a criminal?" Spider-Man made a very sour sneer at the end of his comment.

The civilian barked back with a scowl of his own, "Jameson always said you were a menace!" He bellowed, "I never thought he was right until what happened today!" He held the newspaper up, showing Spider-Man what the headline said.

Spider-Man's eyes widened, "Spider-Man attempts murder?!" The headline was complimented of a picture with Spider-Man attempting to stab OX with a glass shard. Spider-Man found himself gritting his teeth under his mask, "Jameson...JAMESON?!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, with that noticeable 'double voice' coming back into his speech.

He threateningly walked over to the now stunned citizen, grabbing him by his shirt and raising him up. That whole action caused the whole crowd to gasp even more in shock. Spider-Man was angrily breathing in and out before he spoke, "Jameson is just a snobby editor who has nothing better to do with his life accept blabbering about ME!"

He raised his fist up for a moment, with the intentions of punching the man out cold. But then his Spider-Sense went off, he grit his teeth under his mask, throwing the citizen out of his grasp. He pivoted to his other side and kneed Shocker before he could get a shockwave strike on him.

Spider-Man completely discarded what he was gonna do to the citizen and re-directed all his attention back to Shocker, "You're really starting to get on my nerves, Shocker!" He bellowed.

Shocker merely chuckled, pretending to get into a frantic posture he mocked Spider-Man, "ooo." That mocking coo set Spider-Man off, causing him to go full charge at Shocker. Spider-Man put up a tornado kick, only for it to be caught by Shocker.

Shocker grinned behind his mask, exempting a fierce charge out of his gauntlets which hit Spider-Man. Shocker then hurled Spider-Man towards the middle of the street.

Spider-Man's Spider-Sense went off, cocking his head up and glancing to the right, he could see a Semi-Truck come right his way. Spider-Man used his hands and launched himself into the air, leaping back and landing onto the walkway of Canterlot Park.

Shocker chased after him, running across the street. But as he was running, he stopped. Glancing to the left of his shoulder, he could see a car coming right at him. Being unlike Spider-Man, Shocker adjusted the knob onto his gauntlet so there would be less energy consumption and pointed it at the oncoming vehicle.

Without any hesitation, Shocker blasted the car with a shockwave blast. Exploding the hood and derailing the car away from the road and into a building. Shocker continued running across the street.

Making it across the road, he pointed both his gauntlets up in the air and began firing small shockwave blasts towards Spider-Man. This prompted Spider-Man to start running, trying to avoid as much blasts as he could.

Shocker winked behind his lenses for a moment, trying to adjust to the amounts of blasts his new suit could let out, "Come on boy! Stay still!" He scoffed, "These here blasts ain't gonna hurt ya! Shoot they're probably as harmless as my old retriever Seabiscuit!"

Spider-Man let out an annoyed grunt, "Man do I really sound this annoying during fights!?" He ran up towards a small bridge, jumping up onto the bottom and hiding from Shocker.

Shocker let out a huff, and then a laugh, "Haha! Boy if you think playin' chicken is gonna get ya outta this one you're dead wrong!" Spider-Man stayed silent however, waiting for Shocker to come to him.

And eventually, he did. Shocker started walking towards the middle of the park, right past the bridge. Spider-Man blended well with the shadows, not even being as so much seen by the red and gold villain. Spider-Man knew this was the time to strike.

Crawling up onto the side of the curved bridge quietly, he took a deep breath and then without a second thought, jumped towards Shocker. Stretching his arms out and opening his hands as he dived towards Shocker. Spider-Man let out an angered cry, finally getting Shocker's attention. But before Shocker could say or do anything, Spider-Man pinned him to the ground.

Shocker squirmed for a bit until Spider-Man jabbed at his face, stunning him. Using that moment he grabbed one of Shocker's Gauntlets and ripped it, along with the some of the cloth right off his arm.

Shocker's eyes widened, finally regaining his physical composition, he pushed Spider-Man off with a vibration wave from his suit. He staggered to his feet, looking at the ripped sleeve of his suit. He gritted his teeth under his mask and glanced at Spider-Man. All of his anger slowly and slowly building up.

But, somehow he managed to merley hiss at Spider-Man instead of yelling at him, "You....You just signed yer death certificate!" He pointed his right gauntlet at him, setting it to maximum power. Spider-Man got back up onto his feet and clenched both of his fists.

Shocker started shooting violent blasts of shockwave energy at Spider-Man. This prompted Spider-Man to charge at Shocker. Spider-Man jumped over a blast and raised his fist up, attempting to punch Shocker.

But then, he was hit. Hit by a maximum shockwave charge. Spider-Man's eyes closed as he fell to the ground. Not getting back up. Not even moving.

Shocker peered at the body for a moment. Should he leave it there? Should he hand him over to Big Man?

Shocker shook his head, doubting the fact Spider-Man was actually dead. "I'm gonna make sure you never come back to bite me in the ass."

He walked over towards the body laying on the ground. Picking it up by the back of his neck, clenching the 'cloth' of the suit.

He raised the gauntlet up to Spider-Man's face, charging it up with the intentions to deliver one final blow to Spider-Man. Finally ending the game of cat and mouse they've been playing.

ISSUE #5 CHAPTER 9:Retaliation/The Big Man

But then, when everything seemed hopeless for Spider-Man, his suit answered back. 'The Suit' shot out a tentacle and in only a matter of seconds the tentacle covered the gauntlet. Shocker's eyes widened. He moved his head up and looked directly at Spider-Man.

Spider-Man's face cocked up slowly. It'd now occur to him that he looked more sinister and grim at night. His eyes narrowed and then the unthinkable happened.

Spider-Man grew.... a mouth?! Shocker's eyes widened in shock and fear as the mouth grinned widely.

Then suddenly, Spider-Man let out an ear piercing screech, not sounding anything like himself. The shriek stunned Shocker, scaring him beyond belief.

Spider-Man quickly acted, punching Shocker square in the face, sending him flying back. Spider-Man's mouth suddenly retracted, but Spider-Man showed no signs of slowing down.

He lunged towards Shocker, running a few steps before jumping and diving towards him. He landed on top of Shocker and he began to relentlessly punch Shocker in his cheek, not taking any pauses or breaks to even so far as breath. Spider-Man then picked up Shocker, looking over at a light pole and throwing him towards it.

At that moment, the police had arrived on scene. They all hid behind a solid block fence, with Officer Hothoof peeking behind the corner in shock. He was in disbelief, was everything The Daily Bugle spewing out about Spider-Man true?

Another Swat Officer nudged Officer Hothoof's shoulder, "Officer Hothoof." Hothoof glanced behind his shoulder and looked at the Swat Officer, "What's going on over there? Is everything alright?"

Officer Hothoof's, though unsure he nodded, "Yeah, I think Spider-Man's got this thing under control." Meanwhile in his head, he had a very different tune, "Or so help me god he's got this under control!"

Spider-Man grabbed his camera out of his suit. Snapping a picture of Shocker as he was motionless against the street light pole. Spider-Man then rushed towards Shocker. Throwing his camera up onto another light pole and webbing it up on an angle so it would snap the pictures of what Spider-Man was about to do to Shocker.

Shocker cocked his head up slowly. He regained his vision for a moment, everything coming back into focus. But just as he was trying to get back his composure, Spider-Man punched him square in the face again.

The Camera Flashed.

Spider-Man picked Shocker up by his foot. Twirling him into the pole, colliding back first each time. Spider-Man threw Shocker up in the air. He too jumped in the air, going farther up than Shocker. Clasping his fists together, he swung at Shocker's stomach as hard as he could.

This caused Shocker to fall back onto the ground. He fell really hard, causing the ground around him to crack and create a small crater on where he lied.

The Camera Flashed.

Officer Hothoof watched in horror, it was unbelievable. He didn't know what to do, he didn't even know whether or not Spider-Man was even acting consciously.

Spider-Man landed on the ground, right next to Shocker. He looked at the laying body on the ground, a sad motionless man wearing a complex, technologically advanced suit. Or at least in Spider-Man's eyes.

He picked up the body, grabbing him by the neck and holding him up with his left hand.

The Camera Flashed.

Spider-Man grabbed Shocker's arm with the other hand and he pointed the gauntlet right to his face.

Officer Hothoof's eyes widened, "He wouldn't!" He swore under his breath.

Spider-Man, somehow and someway turned the gauntlet on. The gauntlet began charging up with sparks of blueish green shockwave energy coming out of the gauntlet. Spider-Man's eyes narrowed.

Then suddenly, Spider-Man gasped. His eyes widening, acting as if he'd just woke up from bed, "What- Wait where am I? How..." He then glanced at the body he was holding, it was Shocker. Spider-Man's eye arched, "Shocker?! Wait what?! Why is he unconci--"

"SPIDER-MAN HANDS IN THE AIR!" Spider-Man glanced away from Shocker and looked forward. He saw Officer Hothoof pointing a gun at him. Behind Officer Hothoof was a bunch of S.W.A.T Officers.

"Drop the body!" Officer Hothoof ordered.

Spider-Man's eyes widened, now he was being targeted by the police. Then his eyes narrowed, "I don't believe it?! The Police are pointing their guns at me!?" Spider-Man grit his teeth under his mask, he dropped Shocker as the gauntlet stopped charging up.

The Camera Flashed. Spider-Man glanced over his shoulder and then looked up. Right where his Camera still stood. He grabbed it quickly with a webline. Then leaping up and firing another webline, swinging away from the scene.

An S.W.A.T Officer was about to shoot, only to be stopped by Officer Hothoof. "Hold your fire!" The Officer's eyes widened, he put down his machine gun and watched as Spider-Man swung away.

"Should we do something about him?" The S.W.A.T Officer asked.

Hothoof shook his head, "I'm not sure." He stroked his chin, "Wait!? There were calls at the Bell Tower earlier, go check it out, I have a feeling Spider-Man might have something to do with it."

The officer nodded, "We'll have a team check it out!"

Spider-Man swung towards the bell tower. Right where the whole fight started, he had one thing on his mind at the moment, Big Man. Knowing that Shocker is the police's problem now, he only had one lead. That is if he was still alive.

Spider-Man went through the opening he had taken. Than going down the hole he had fell through. There lied Ricochet, the betrayed member of the Enforcers. Though it looked unsure, Spider-Man had some feeling he was alive. Now he was going to test that theory.

He walked over to the body, it seemed to have been moving a little. Getting closer it was clear Ricochet was panting very heavily and slowly.

Ricochet slowly glanced at Spider-Man and chuckled, "So what? You come here to finish the job?" His voice was weary, the blast severely weakened him.

Spider-Man held Ricochet up by the back of his neck, "I want answers, Who's the Big Man!" He got straight to business, finally wanting to get more light shed on the otherwise mysterious figure to Spider-Man's point of view.

Ricochet coughed, "Well shit.... guess I'm not going to have to rely on him anymore." Spider-Man's fist clenched, his eyes narrowing. Ricochet continued, deciding to finally let Spider-Man know who the Big Man in.

"The Big Man." He coughed, "Is a powerful crime boss in Canterlot City, he's been at this business for years.... One night, the guy had an insane idea. Creating super mercenaries and finally putting the city at his feet."

Spider-Man's glanced away and grit his teeth, being very familiar with a few of them. Especially one, "Electro!" He glanced back at Ricochet, "Then what happened?" He asked in a stern tone.

"Than.... A Spider came along. He started to compromise Big Man's ambitious plots. So, in retaliation he started making more and more of these super powered mercenaries to take you out and get you out of the picture."

Spider-Man let all those words sink in for a moment, "Man this Big Man Guy really doesn't like me."

"Okay final question." Said Spider-Man, "Where can I find him?"

"Sorry Spider." Said Ricochet, "But I ain't no snitch, and besides I gave you the info you came here for." He began to mock Spider-Man with a chuckle.

Spider-Man curled his lip under his mask, "Look Pal, we both know that your not making it to a hospital anytime, at least not alive! So I'm gonna ask you again, or else!"

Ricochet rolled his eyes under his mask, "Or else what? You gonna Square up on a dead man walking?"

Spider-Man couldn't believe this guy, he's met ignorant people but Ricochet might be the most ignorant, "Alright... you asked for this." He raised his fist in the air hearing it crackle. He slowly and slowly moved it back, wanting to make this punch count.

But then suddenly, he hear police sirens squealing from the outside. Spider-Man's eyes narrowed, he knew the police were gonna intervene as soon as they got in so he just dropped Ricochet, "You know what, you're not worth my time." He started for the hole that Shocker had created. Firing a webline and swinging away.

A few police cruisers arrived on the scene. As an officer got out, he saw Spider-Man swinging away from the scene.

"Hey look it's Spider-Man." He pointed out the blur swinging off, catching the attentions of the other officers. They watched, thinking he'd probably gotten the job done for them. "Well at least our job has gotten easier for the night."

They all entered the bell tower. They went up the stairs for a while, not finding anything of interest. But when they reached the floor that Spider-Man just exited, they all gasped.

They saw Ricochet's body lay motionless on the ground. They quickly approached it, Ricochet's condition had only worsen from the point that Spider-Man had left and until the police had found him.

An Officer knelt down and spoke to Ricochet with urgency, "What happened?"

Ricochet's head slowly turned to the officer. He grabbed the offices by the chest weakly, "I-It was....Spider-Man..." He was panting more heavily, "He.... did th.." Than he trailed off, his grip weakened and let go, his head rattled back onto the ground.

The officer wanted to feel Ricochet's heartbeat, but he couldn't. He didn't know how to remove the armor off of him. The officer's lip curled in disgust. How could Spider-Man do something like this, that is if he did it. A bunch of officers soon came up to the officer near Ricochet.

"What should we do?"

The officer glanced over his shoulder, "Issue a press statement."

….

ISSUE #5 EPILOGUE

The Skyscraper, Sherman Towers.

The news of Shocker's arrest and Ricochet's death didn't take long to get to The Big Man. Only a few minutes time, that's how long it took for Big Man to receive the news. He of course realized that he'd wasted even more money on an otherwise useless experiment to take down Spider-Man. But he did have a backup plan.

The Tinkerer otherwise known as Doctor Phineas Mason, had developed a super human serum. A new serum that uses the elements of Globulin Green but completely contrasts it by being a more stable serum. And it was to be administered by a needle.

Big Man sat on a chair. He wore just a white dress shirt, black slacks and dress shoes. His sleeve was rolled up and with that revealed dark beige skin.

"Okay Doctor!" said Big Man, "Are you sure this is foolproof? Because as far as I'm concerned, the whole 'technological super suit idea failed!"

The Tinkerer smirked, flicking his finger at the end of the needle, "Well, I say in order to run a successful experiment, you need a lab rat or two to test the.....conditions, yeah we'll just say that."

Big Man arched an eyebrow behind his mask, "Touché."

The Tinkerer walked over to The Big Man, "Okay, from the research I've done, this serum should give you the same reflexivity as the Green Goblin and the fighting ability of.... what was his name."

"Tombstone?"

"Yes, that one."

"Do it." Big Man demanded.

Tinkerer smirked, "As you wish."

He knelt down so his field of view could be fixed on Big Man's arm. Taking the needle, he began piercing the needle slowly into Big Man's arm. Big Man sat there unfazed by the slight sting of the needle. Tinkerer pushed the plunger top, making the serum travel through the bassel and adaptor of the needle all the way into the shaft. The serum came out through the bevel and was slowly being injected into Big Man.

Big Man grit his teeth, his arm became completely numb. Then, he suddenly started palpating. He was breathing faster, hyperventilating in fact. Was it all a mistake, was all of this a huge mistake?

Meanwhile, Tinkerer had his eyes narrowed on Big Man. There was two scenarios of what might go down. One, the whole procedure goes successful and he would've created an artificial Super Human. Two, he dies of shock due to how overwhelming the serum is.

Suddenly, Big Man stopped. For a moment scenario two seemed likely. But then Big Man started panting slowly, meaning it worked. Big Man slowly got to his feet. He gazed into his hands for a moment, opening and closing them. He glanced away from them.

Then he let out a grunt, performing a high kick in a fast motion.

Tinkerer smirked, "So I presume it worked."

"Well you're the expert Doctor." Said Big Man, "But I think all signs are in a positive direction." He glanced at the clock, "I better go, no doubt my wife is probably wondering why I'm late for dinner."

Tinkerer nodded, "Of course." Taking his brown leather bag he started for the elevator. Walking inside and watching as the doors slid closed. He had a sinister smirk across his face. Getting his phone out, he dialed Circuit Breaker's Number.

"Okay, I've administered this new and improved Globulin Green of yours."

"Good!" said Circuit Breaker over the phone, "Excellent even."

"So." Tinkerer took a deep breath, "How confident are you that this enhanced serum is going to be better than it's predecessor?"

"Better Stabilization, for months we've been trying to make it just stable enough so the user wouldn't have any sort of blackouts, now with the help of your team I think we've created the perfect serum. You're not doubting you're team are you?"

"Of course not." The Tinkerer managed to keep his calm, nonchalant tone, "I'm just curious to see what will happen to this lab rat of ours."

"It's like you said Phineas, in order to have a successful experiment, you need a lab rat or two!

FLASH SENTRY THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN ISSUE #6: REDEMPTION Written By: SpideyFlash CHAPTER 1: The feeling of betrayal.

A few days has passed since Spider-Man's encounter with Shocker. He had found himself in a new alien suit bonded onto him, giving him immense power, speed, agility and an enhanced Spider-Sense.

However, even though Flash had gotten the pictures of Shocker and had gotten payed for his pictures. The headline that was given to the newspaper featuring his picture and details about what happened didn't sit well with him. For months he had been slandered by his nutcase of a boss over his heroic deeds. This time, he decided it was no more.

He stormed into the Daily Bugle Building, clenching the newspaper in his hand. He had an infuriated expression due to his disagreement with the headline. So now, he was going to make it clear to Jameson, whether he liked it or not.

His friend, Betty Brant. Saw him coming up and waived her hand, shooting him a friendly smile. "Hi Fla--" But Flash completely walked passed her, not even acknowledging. Her eyes widened and her eyebrow arched. That was the first time Flash had even ignored her. She glanced back into J.Jonah Jameson's office, looking into it with a window.

Flash slammed his fist into the desk and gave Mr. Jameson a piece of his mind, "This is Slander and you know it!" He scowled, pointing at his boss with an accusing finger. Showing him the front of the paper.

Mr. Jameson let out a sigh, "Sentry. I pay you to get pictures of this criminal, not be his attorney."

"What?" said Flash, "The guy risks his life for the city and you thank you to him is by committing slander."

"No, but do you want to know what is slander?" said Mr. Jameson, "Leaving Neverland."

Flash wanted to so much attack his boss right there. He wasn't even taking any of this seriously. He grit his teeth and let out a grunt.

Mr. Jameson decided to reply to Flash's angry grunt, "Look Sentry, I'm not your physiatrist, I'm an editor. Now if you don't have any pictures to give me, than get out!"

Flash's lip cured. Turning away he stormed out of the office, pulling the door open and then slamming it behind him. Mr.Jameson merely shook his head in disagreement, not even knowing what was up Flash's ass today.

Betty meanwhile was just as speechless as Mr. Jameson or so to speak. Her mouth was hanging open and her eyes were widened. She didn't say a word to Flash as she watched him walk away angrily. Wondering the same thing, what was up with Flash today?

Flash started for the staircase of the Bugle. Opening the door and walking up the steps, all the way to the top of the
building. Opening the door he emerged from the building and stood on top of it.

He closed his eyes and let out a sigh, soon his body was surrounded by a small blue aura before his new suit completely covered him from head to toe. The Black Suited Spider-Man the citizens called him and let me assure you he embraced it at this point.

"I don't even know why I keep working for this bum!" He leapt into the air, getting a good view of the city below. Extending his arm out, he fired a black webline out of his top hand and snagged it. He swung downwards, towards the road.

"Every time I do something the crazy bastard makes up some stuff to make me look bad." His webline went on an arc, he let go and fired another one.

"Maybe I should just quit that lousy job. Hell maybe even the Globe would reward Spider-Man for his actions more than the jolly one himself." He let go of his webline and dived for a street light. Reaching for it, grabbing it with his hands and hanging on it.

It wasn't long after that police cars completely drove past him. The squeal of their sirens were just enough to somewhat intrigue him. "Well maybe a little morning workout will get my mind off of it." He extended his arm and fired a webline, following the vehicles.

Meanwhile, at jewelry store. Many civilians who had just come there for the simple sole purpose of shopping and browsing now found themselves in a hostage situation, taking cover wherever they can. Anything to get away from the three ski-mask....masked men. In other words, Robbers.

The Two Cashiers both male and female, looked terrified out of their minds. Hiding behind the counter as two robbers began grabbing cash out of the cash registers and breaking the display boxes, taking as much valuable items as possible. Putting each piece of jewelry in their bags.

Meanwhile, the third robber of the group had his hand gun pointed at everyone. "Alright, everyone calm the f down. If anybody makes a wise ass decision, you'll regret it." He glanced back at his two partners, "Uh hey guys, can we hurry this up?"

"Hey look Big Man wants his money." The other robber protested, "Were not sparing anything."

"Well see, you kinda have to." The three robbers stopped abruptly and turned their heads towards the entrance. Their eyes widened. Spider-Man was casually hanging on the wall just above the doors with his arms folded. He saluted the three. "You know at this rate I don't even know why you guys keep trying."

The Robber who had been pointing his gun at the hostage, stood there with a shocked expression. He was in fact shocked to see Spider-Man, not only because he'd never encounter him before, but because he had no idea of how he managed to slip inside without being noticed.

"Uh, Spider-Man." he nervously chuckled, "And you have a new costume, uh that's kinda bad ass right?"

Spider-Man leapt off the wall in and landed right in front of the robber, his eyes narrowed. The robber gulped nervously, out of fear he pointed his gun at Spider-Man and began to creep back slowly with Spider-Man slowly walking towards him, "Uh, I'm waring you." He was visibly trembling, "I, I know how to use this."

Spider-Man scoffed, "Cute."

In a flash, his fist drove into his the robber's stomach! This inadvertently made the robber drop the gun and clutch his stomach instead. Spider-Man shot out some webbing onto his face, blocking his view of anything. Spider-Man glanced at the other two robbers.

There eyes both widened. Out of fear, they both dropped the bags and made a run for it. Hurriedly starting for the entrance. Spider-Man rolled his eyes, letting out a sigh. He acted quickly; discarding the robber for a moment and focusing on the other two.

He extended both his arms and fired two weblines out of his top hand. The two weblines caught the running robbers, stopping them in their tracks. Spider-Man snagged both weblines and then tugged it! Causing the two robbers to be sent flying away from the door.

The two both slammed into a wall really hard, knocking both out and making them fall to the ground. He glanced back at the robber on the ground. He was still struggling to get the webbing off his face, making Spider-Man chuckle. He fired a webline towards his leg. Once the webline stuck onto it he tugged it, making him fall to the ground as well.

Spider-Man then turned towards the duffle bags that the robbers had dropped. Going over towards them, he picked them off the ground and looked over the counter. He saw two cashiers hiding in fear, hands on their heads and some sounds of what sounded like whimpering from the male cashier.

"Uh...yo." The eyes of each cashier shot open and the two looked over to Spider-Man, "Uh... I think these are yours"

The two however completely ignored those words. Their eyes widened in fear and they began trembling. The female cashier spoke up, "P-Please don't hurt us."

Spider-Man's eyes furrowed, his shoulder's dropped, "Eh?"

The male cashier followed, "Look man we don't want no trouble. Please!"

Spider-Man was in disbelief, "Are you guys afraid of--"

But before he could finish. The door was kicked open by an officer, completely catching Spider-Man off guard. He turned around, dropping the duffle bag. The officer pointed his handgun at Spider-Man, "Hands in the air!" He bellowed.

Spider-Man's eyes narrowed, beneath his ooze mask was an expression of anger. It seemed like anytime he acts upon stopping crime, he's found in some 'coincidental' predicament. Spider-Man was quiet. He needed to act fast to get out of the store.

So he did. Extending his arm and aiming it at the officer; he fired a webline out of his top hand. The webline caught the muzzle of the handgun, stunning the officer. Spider-Man tugged the webline, making the gun escape the grip of the officer and fall to the ground.

Spider-Man started for the door, running. The Officer saw this and grit his teeth. In an attempt to stop the hero, the officer charged at Spider-Man.

He however came to no avail. Spider-Man made an impressive leap over the officer, narrowly dodging him. Spider-Man made it towards the entrance and quickly fired a webline.

The officer watched as Spider-Man had escaped, kissing his teeth and snapping his fingers in anger, "Fuckin' shit!"

Spider-Man made it back to his apartment. Closing the window behind him. He ordered his suit to turn into regular clothing.

He was mad to say the least. His morning had started like crap and ended like it to. "Even the police. EVEN THE POLCIE IS OUT TO GET ME!" Not thinking at all, he grabbed his camera from his desk and threw it against the wall! It broke into half and fell into the floor.

He collapsed on his bed, clasping his hands together and resting them on his forehead. "Every time I try to do something they take it as a threat! Fuck me I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm better than the police!"

He sat upright, realizing that just bickering about it wont get him anywhere . "What's the point. Maybe they're just so mad at me because they can't do their job." He chuckled a little, finding himself funny.

He got out his phone and went into his contacts, scrolling down until he found Sunset Shimmer's name. He smirked, "Maybe she can at least make this day go better."

The Big Man was sitting in his office at Sherman's tower. A tall Accounting firm building. A skyscraper in fact.

One of his men, a common mercenary named Darius came into the office. Coming out of the elevator. He had a worried expression on his face as he was coming in.

He stood in front of Big Man's desk and gulped, "Uh, sir?" He nodded, "I got some bad news."

"What is it?" His voice was nonchalant yet it felt very threatening.

"Well uh.... you remember when you sent Francis and his men to go get some of their, 'Interest' money."

"And?"

"Well... they got arrested."

Big Man was quiet. He wasn't mad nor sad. He wasn't happy either. He didn't care about them anyway, to him they were common bums who just needed to pay him back. "Let me guess, Spider-Man?"

The Mercenary stood there, speechless. It wasn't exactly the most greatest guess but nevertheless his boss was right. He let out a sigh, "Y-yeah, Spider-Man."

Big Man lowered his head a little and closed his eyes. He found himself smirking at the news, even letting out a little chuckle. "Should've known."

The Mercenary looked bewildered. This was a first to him. Seeing his Boss chuckling over the news of Spider-Man taking out one of his quote on quote "moneymakers."

"Uhh, boss."

"Yes?"

"I just said Spider-Man…. got Francis and his men arrested."

Big Man nodded, "Yes. I am aware."

The mercenary arched his eyebrow, "Your not pissed or anything?"

Big Man let out a relaxed sigh and leaned back in his chair. "Nope."

The mercenary was shocked. Never in his life had he seen Big Man act so relaxed and look so care free. "Wh-Why?"

"Because, I'm impressed." said Big Man, "Impressed that this man has somehow single-handedly taken down everyone he encounters. I think he could make a useful addition to our empire."

The Mercenary's shoulders dropped in complete shock. His jaw hung wide open and his eyes widened, "WHAT! Spider-Man working with us?"

"Is that a problem?" The Big Man's smirk faded away and now formed into a frown.

The Mercenary realized that it could be the end for him if he dare spoke back to Big Man so he quickly corrected himself, "NO! No." He let out a sigh, "It's just....I'm pretty sure he has a bad rep amongst everyone in your... 'empire'."

Big Man slightly lowered his head again and closed his eyes for a moment. "I see what you mean." He looked back at the Mercenary, "But after that tantrum he had on camera I think he's pretty much on life support when it comes to--" his lip curled, "Fighting crime."

"A-Are you sure?" The Mercenary asked.

"Are you defying me?"

The Mercenary's eyes widened again. He quickly shook his head, denying Big Man's claim. "No-No."

"Than go make yourself useful and help me.... 'set up a meeting' with him." He moved his chair back and opened his drawer. Rummaging through a few things he grabbed out a piece of paper with an address on it. "I want you to go see Wilkinson." He handed mercenary the paper

"Our arms dealer, why?"

"Get a C4 from him. Once you've done that, go to Magnus Square and blow it up at noon, exactly at twelve. It will garner lot's of unwanted attention yes, but if I'm correct Spider-Man should most likely arrive at the scene. Once there formally invite him here and tell him to meet me at the top floor. Through the ceiling window."

The Mercenary took in all of the information he'd received. It seemed quite odd to him really. It seemed like Big Man was going into a lot of trouble to get Spider-Man on their side. But he didn't want to defy him because god knows what could happen to him if he did.

He nodded, "I'll get it on it right away Boss." He started for the elevator.

ISSUE #6 CHAPTER 2: "Setting up" a meeting

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

ISSUE #6 CHAPTER 3: A little disagreement

Flash knocked on the door of the Rainboom's place. Standing there, waiting for someone to answer the door.

Soon, Sunset opened the door and smiled, "Well it's about time you showed up."

Flash chuckled, "Hey, you know traffic can be a pain in the butt sometimes."

She rolled her eyes and let Flash in. Closing the door behind her, she and Flash started for the sofa. "Sooo… School Orientation is coming up."

Flash nodded his head, "Yeah. What about it?"

"Well...okay this might sound odd but..... do you think maybe I could spend the night at your place the day before of the orientation?"

Flash's eyes widened, he arched an eyebrow, "Wow, that's a first."

She giggled, "Well you know, you live way closer to ESU than we do. Plus it gives me excuse to have more boyfriend time." The two both plopped down on the couch, Flash putting his arm around Sunset.

"Well I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to that idea." Flash shrugged.

"So I'll take that as a yes." She leaned closer towards him.

Rarity and Applejack walked into the Livingroom. Flash greeted them upon their entrance, "Hey guys." He nodded.

"Mornin' Flash." said Applejack, "When'd you get here?"

"About a minute ago." He looked at the clock.

"Well Flash, what brings you to our lovely home?" asked Rarity, "I mean were about to make breakfast, if you'd like we can serve you too."

Flash chuckled and shot his hands up, "Oh it's fine! I just came by to hang with Sunset and besides I already ate breakfast."

Sunset rolled her eyes and smugly crossed her arms, "He still aims to be humble." she chuckled, "It's kinda cute, but I think he should take up an offer every once in a while."

Flash shrugged, "What? My parents kinda raised me that way."

"Ugh, I know what you mean Sunset dear!" said Rarity, "Applejack more or less does the same thing."

"HEY!" Applejack yelled. She folded her arms and turned away from Rarity for a moment, "I was just raised to be a hard worker. Ma whole family has just always been like that."

Rarity rolled her eyes and placed her hand on Applejack's shoulder, "Look Flash, The point is Sunset is right. Taking up a handsome offer every now and then wont kill you."

"Well I mean, I guess." Flash shrugged.

Sunset smiled, "Well now that that's all taken care of. Why don't we watch some TV." She reached for the remote and pointed it at the television. She clicked the power button and in an instant, the television screen turned on.

The first channel to come on was the Canterlot news channel. It was showing Spider-Man, but it wasn't exactly showing his best moment in public. Instead it was him picking up a random civilian and yelling at him. Flash's eyes narrowed on the screen, his lip beginning to curl.

"Great Just what I need. A media corporation criticizing me because I do what the police can't. Man at least Tokyo enjoyed Spider-Man's hospitality. Not even my own home-town!"

An Anchor lady began to commentate on the video as it kept looping over and over again. "So this video has been trending on social media over the last few days. This video depicts to what is now been confirmed as the black suited Spider-Man threatening a civilian in plain sight while fighting The Shocker. Shortly after the video was released, a man was found in critical condition at the Bell Tower. He has still not been identified yet but what the police were able to find out was he had direct involvement with the hostage situation at Fisk Towers and the building fire not too long after. Now why are we mentioning this? It was because when the body was found, Spider-Man had left the scene moments earlier. Now the police force have released a statement about the ongoing situation. They said to be vigilant if Spider-Man is nearby. They have caught him in a bunch of bad situations and warn civilians if he is spotted and nearby, do not approach him and immediately call 911 or crime stoppers. But even though they have released a statement about Spider-Man, they need more evidence before they can put him under arrest. Meanwhile, the city is left shocked by the video. CTV news's Dev Starstrom got some reactions from the some civilians, take a look."

Flash curl disappeared and instead he found himself gritting his teeth. Everything he had just heard made him seem like a bad guy, "Damn News Outlets! I didn't even threaten him I was telling him about why J.Jonah Jameson was a scumbag."

The screen transitioned from a news anchor to footage of civilians and their take on the video. The first was a man who appeared to be in in early 20s wearing a red hoodie. "Personally, I'm Shocked. I thought Spidey was a genuine hero. Some guy we could look up to. But I guess you never know someone from just the outside."

The screen transitioned again. This time showing an eight-year old. "Spider-Man is not bad. He's just getting mad at someone. I know he's good!"

The screen transitioned one last time, this time showing a woman in a her mid 30's, "I mean, we can't say this is a surprise. Spider-Man has always been something of a suspicious person. There've been theories for months that he's been personally orchestrating everything himself in order to get some publicity and be looked upon greatly."

That last one really stuck with Flash. Not because of how infuriated it made him, but because of how absurd it was. But he couldn't keep his words to himself, this time he blabbered them out. "WHAT?!"

All four girls were shocked by the sudden outburst and all looked at Flash. This prompted Sunset to speak up, "W-What is it?"

Flash's eyes widened, he had realized he just screamed out of nowhere. He rebounded himself quickly and continued, "It's just.... how can she say all of that?" He asked, "How? After everything he's done for this city how can she act like he's always been a 'suspicious person' with the sole purpose of getting publicity and a good rep. It's completely unfair!"

The four were silent. They listened to everything Flash had just said. But... unfourtanetley they weren't on the same boat as he was.

"Uhh…. Flash? With all due respect....." Sunset trailed off, she didn't even know how she could word it, "Look I think everyone is right to think Spider-Man is not exactly a hero."

"WHAT?!" Flash screamed. It was outrageous, he wish it weren't true but his ears were not deceiving him. His own girlfriend was on the Anti-Spider-Man bandwagon. "B-But I thought you all liked Spider-Man?"

Rarity chimed in, "Well, darling. There's just too much overwhelming evidence against him. Not only that but it's quite odd that every major threat to the city has always been self-centered on Spider-Man. I-I guess what people are saying about him may be true."

Flash's shoulders dropped, making his arm drop a little lower on Sunset's shoulder. "This can't be for real. Them too!?"

Applejack chimed in as well. "Ah mean, he has acted a bit.....like an outlaw recently'. Threatenin' a guy and he might be a full on murdering outlaw."

Flash could feel his blood boiling. He knew Spider-Man's identity was a secret he had to keep. But he wasn't going to sit there and hear them critic Spider-Man. He couldn't care less about whether or not they knew it from his side, in fact he didn't care about reasoning with them. "DO YOU ALL HEAR YOURSELVES!?" He rose to his feet and clenched his fists. "How can all of you say that about him when he's nearly DIED for this city!"

Sunset was startled by Flash's sudden outburst, it was unlike him to explode. Meanwhile the newly engaged saw that outburst as somewhat of a childish move and so they clapped back.

"Flash I must say you are acting rather childish right now!" Rarity scolded, "Just because he's your money maker does not mean he's justified to be a good person."

"And if your so opposed to that there idea! Well then you can just leave!" said Applejack.

Sunset's eyes widened. That would be the last thing she'd want right now. If she's learned anything it was that there was always time to work things out and patch up rough edges. She was about to bud in and maybe end the squabble. But she was too late.

Flash started for the door. He didn't say a word, Rarity and Applejack both glared at him as he walked out. Sunset felt frozen, she was speechless as well. The door opened and then closed as Flash exited the apartment room.

Rarity turned to Sunset, shooting her an angry look, "That Boy is not allowed back until he apologizes. Do you understand Sunset! You may tolerate his behaviour and but we don't!"

Sunset stayed silent for a moment. For the first time she could care less right now about what Rarity has to say, she was more worried about what had gotten into Flash. Her eyes narrowed and she turned to Rarity, "Something's wrong."

Applejack arched an eyebrow, "Come again?"

"Guys something is wrong and I can just smell it!" said Sunset, "I know Flash. He's most nicest guy I've met! he's never gotten this worked up like that before. Not unless something bad has happened."

Rarity let out a sigh, "Sunset dear, people have tendencies to change overtime."

"Guys I know something has to be wrong." said Sunset, "The only times he's ever done something remotely like that was around the time his dad died and when we broke up for the first time. You guys were both there."

Applejack rolled her eyes, "Well how can we be so sure Sunset? People can get a bit mad over arguments but what he did was being a plain bitch."

Sunset was no way in hell going to 'tolerate that type of behaviour', especially trash talking Flash right in front of her. "So you're being better by saying that about him behind his back?"

Applejack's eyes widened. She let those words sink in and realized she was right. Her shoulder's dropped, her angered expression was now a guilty one, "Gee Sunset, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult him like that I was just--"

"It's fine." Sunset pinched the bridges of her nose, "I'm just so worried about him right now that I can't even think right."

Rarity pouted, now she was beginning to feel the guilt bug bite her. Maybe it was just her fiancée's influence or maybe she realized that she might've been a bit harsh to call him childish. "I'm sorry too." she looked at Sunset, "Maybe I was just being over dramatic. I just never expect that from him."

"It's alright Rarity." said Sunset, " I just don't know what to do right now."

…..

ISSUE #6 CHAPTER 4: We finally meet!/Back and fourth

Flash exited the condo building and started for a nearby alleyway. "Stupid Rarity and Applejack. Calling me Childish. Who the hell gives them the right to talk bad about me and then call me a baby!"

Flash hadn't brought his car with him, instead he had swung to the Rainbooms Place. Walking down the street he took a right into the alleyway. When he was for certain that there was no video camera in sight and no one around he took a deep breath and let his suit do the work. Completely draping itself over him and fitting on perfectly.

Spider-Man jumped up and onto a wall. He clung to the wall, beginning to crawl on it. "What do they know anyway. 'Spider-Man's an outlaw' my ass!" He could feel his lip curl behind his mask, "Who cares about their stupid opinion anyway.' He crawled over the wall and made onto the rooftop.

He then leapt in the air, executing a somersault. He landed right at the edge of the building and looked at the city in the distance. It wasn't far from where he was but what made it so long to get there was the traffic. He looked at the many buildings he was surrounded by. He fired a webline and began to swing off towards the downtown core of the city.

Meanwhile at Magnus Square, The great city plaza. Darius parked the car near a the many marketplaces and began wiring the C4 at the bottom of the car. There were many people around, doing their own thing.

"Okay....Okay.....Almost Got it!...…..And Done." Darius moved back and got up from off the road. "I got everything setup, now we just have to detonate it at the right time."

"I say now!" said one of the men, "Might as well get this over with right?"

"NO!" One of the others intercepted, "We just set it up, we should at least wait a bit." He looked up at the clock, it was nearly 11 o'clock, "Look it's 10:54. Let's wait a minute and then detonate it."

Darius nodded, "I'm all in for that plan."

So they all waited until that exact time. They all leaned on the bomb planted car, not garnering any suspicion whatsoever. They kept their eyes glued on the clock, watching the clock hands do their work.

The second hand passed twelve on the clock. This was it, this was the time. They all moved away from the car and started for a restaurant entrance. Darius whipped out a remote control that was connected to the explosive.

"Okay, here we go."

Spider-Man swung over Magnus Square. Meaning he entered the downtown of Canterlot. It was busy as always, vehicles clogging up the road , civilians walking everywhere and going anywhere. Spider-Man didn't have anything else planned so he clung onto a wall of a building and let out a sigh.

"Well this day's already been shitty. First the Bugle, then the cops and now Sunset and her friends. He grabbed his phone from out of his suit and opened it. "Let's see, what else could I do to at least try and make a shit day less shittier."

He swiped through his phone. Going through Yelp, Netflix, hulu. Anything that he found the most bit entertaining. There were either things he'd already seen or things he wasn't interested in. Spider-Man let out an annoyed sigh. "Ughhhh. Dammit, nothing good is on. Well I guess I might as well go home and fire up some Hesit--"

*BOOM!*

Spider-Man was stopped after hearing an explosion in the distance. It completely shook him and caught him off guard. His eyes narrowed, "Or I should probably deal with that."

He jumped off the wall and swung towards the cloud of smoke now forming in the sky. Spider-Man swung around the corner and landed on top of a street lamp.

The scene that he saw was shocking. An explosion had blew up a few cars, a fire hydrant some concrete and some people were injured. Spier-Man's eye arched. "Jeez what happened here?" He was looking around, trying to look for someone out of the ordinary.

Meanwhile, Darius and the men were still hiding in the restaurant. They were surprised, he'd actually shown up to the scene of an otherwise far-fetched plan.

"Well damn. He actually showed up." said Darius. "Alright, let's send him the memo." They all emerged out of the restaurant calling out Spider-Man. "Yo Spidey!"

Spider-Man looked down at Darius. Immediately feeling vigilant of the person and his surroundings. But at the same time, his first action was to scowl at him. "Hey dipshit. If you want to blow up stuff, do it somewhere less crowded." He leaped off the lamp and stood right in front of Darius. He raised his fist up, ready to land a punch on him.

Darius's eyes widened in the heat of the moment. "Wait, wait."

Spider-Man let out a sigh, "Look man, I already dealt with one pussy today. I'm not going to make you an exception." He was about to execute his punch, swinging straight at him. That was until Darius followed up.

"I-I. Big Man want's to formally meet you!" Darius squealed.

Spider-Man stopped. Out of everything he'd expected from the group of criminals today, that was not one of them.

"What?" He slowly dropped his arm altogether, still being vigilant, "What do you mean he want's to meet me?"

Darius saw that Spider-Man no longer looked that threatening. He nervously smiled and continued. "B-Big Man. You know the criminal--"

Spider-Man in this situation would've pulled out the sarcasm card. But he wasn't messing around this time. "Yeah I know what the guy is." Spider-Man got up all in Darius's face, "When and where is what I want to know."

Darius gulped. He didn't know which looked more threatening from Spider-Man, him attempting to punch him or him getting all in his face. "S-S-Sherman's Tower, right now. Top floor and take the open window on the roof."

"Sherman's Tower. Why would a crime boss be at a business building?"

Spider-Man moved back. It'd seemed that his search for Big Man was over. But it left a curl on his lip, he was a bit suspicious about the information he was being given. "How do I know you're not just trying to make me look like an idiot in public."

"L-Look Man. I'm just his messenger, I wouldn't want to mess with you." Darius quivered.

Spider-Man's eyes narrowed. He looked up at the clock, it was nearly noon. He looked back at Darius, "Okay let's go." In a flash, he raised both his arms up and pointed them at Darius. He let out some webbing from his top hand, covering Darius from the neck down in black webbing. Darius fell to the ground, screaming in mortification.

All the men that had been accompanying Darius all looked mortified and stepped back. Spider-Man shot them a glare. "You know what. I'm feeling kind of generous today, so why don't all of you go run along and play before I change my mind." A clear snarl escaped his voice, intimidating the men.

Spider-Man grabbed Darius, holding him in one hand. Spider-Man leapt in the air and fired a webline. Going to the exact place where Darius had told him about. Sherman's Tower.

Big Man sat in his chair. Overlooking the city from the wall of Glass in his office. It looked exhilarating from Big Man's point of view. So many buildings that could be seen in the distance, that morning rush hour only getting bigger by the minute. And the multiple crimes he'd see every so often.

This was his home, this was Canterlot.

But then, suddenly.

*CRASH!*

He heard a window crash. This however kept him unfazed. He'd known who had just arrive.

Spider-Man threw Darius on the ground. "Well looks like the window the closed, huh buddy?" He raised his foot up. "It's one thing to waste my time with a meaningless explosion. But drag me over to a vacant office with thousands of cameras probably installed is just putting the icing on the cake." He was about to slam his foot into Darius's back. That was until Big Man finally spoke.

"So we finally meet, Spider-Man."

Spider-Man cocked his head up, looking straight at the chair that was turned behind his back. His eyes widened. "Well. I spoke too soon."

Spider-Man looked up at the corner of the ceiling, right near the desk and chair. He ran towards the desk. Big Man kept his vigilance up, he knew if Spider-Man attacked it might be a big mess to clean up.

Spider-Man leapt up towards the corner of the ceiling and clung onto it with all fours. What he saw was unexpected. A man with a face that looked of that of iron. Wearing a blue fedora and blue suit. It was honestly not what Spider-Man had imagined him to look.

Big Man turned his chair a bit, just enough to be on the same diagonal line as Spider-Man. He looked up at him and smirked. "I've heard you wanted to, speak with me?"

"Cut the evil guy act!" Spider-Man scowled, "Do you realize the shit I have to clean up after when it comes to you and your men. hm? Do YAH!?" Spider-Man bellowed.

"I can see your visibly angry."

"Angry, ANGRY!?" Spider-Man's eye arched. "MY LIFE REVOLVES AROUND TAKING DOWN YOUR SUPERPOWERED FREAKS. FUCK I'VE GIVEN UP HAVING A RELAXING LIFE BECAUSE OF YOU!"

Big Man paused. He let those words sink in. It was clear he could get away with calling Spider-Man a hypocrite because when it comes to Super-Powered Freaks he'd be a perfect fit in that category. But he digressed.

"We all choose the paths we walk Spider-Man. Hero, Criminal it's our own choice whether we like it or not. But I'm not here to give you counselling sessions, I'm here to help you fix your path."

"Wow what an original idea." Spider-Man bellowed. "Save your breath, I'm not gonna join you. Not after everything you've caused me."

"I'll put it like this simply. I pay you handsomely for being my second in command. Give you any sort of real estate you've ever wanted. And I'll provide you with information about the criminal boss in Canterlot who is just as powerful as me. But that's only a condition once you've been here for at least over a few months"

Spider-Man felt himself at a halt. Those last words, information about the criminal boss in Canterlot who is just as powerful as Big Man himself . That would probably be the most useful information he could ever have. But there was a catch, he had to work under Big Man for a few months, something he would never do even in a million years. But with that offer on the table, it almost seemed to good to be true.

Big Man smirked sinisterly, "I know the hardships you've dealt with Spider-Man. Your public image has always been questioned and your acts have always been seen as acts of a menace. Everyone is out to get you and have you locked up. Accept for us."

Behind his mask, Flash frowned. All of that was also true, he was seen as a menace. He lowered his head for a moment. Letting all of that information sink into his brain. He looked back up at Big Man, regaining his composure, "So, you're helping me?"

"Only if you can come to your instincts and realize that being a vigilante is meaningless. It wont get you anywhere in life." He gave out his hand to Spider-Man. "Now are you in, or are you out."

Spider-Man was surprisingly hesitating in the heat of the moment. He was right about so much, but if he joined him than everything he'd be doing up until that point would be no more than a waste of time. But all of those things were so intriguing to Spider-Man. He could be making more money than the Bugle could ever pay him in his whole life and he could live comfortably too.

Spider-Man's eyes narrowed. His voice more grim, "I'll give you a call." He looked up at the ceiling window. The same way he had entered. He started for it, firing a webline and swinging out of the building.

Big Man watched as he did. He smirked even more, "I'll be waiting for you, Spider-Man."

Spider-Man swung into a church right at the top. In the bell tower. Landing on the wooden floor. He began pacing back and fourth.

"What's going on with me? Why-Why didn't I stop him?! He was right there. Right there!"

"Wait why am I worrying so much?! If I join him I could easily betray him later once he gives me all that info. There's no way he could stop me."

Spider-Man shook his head, "Wait no! I can't really be contemplating this right now."

"Believe it Sentry."

Spider-Man gasped. That voice, that voice sounded like him but it was more grim and hiss like. But he wasn't saying a single word. "Wha-I. WHO IS THAT!?"

"Don't Fear what you've already embraced Sentry. It'll lead to certain problems. You wouldn't want to cross that line would you?"

Spider-Man gasped. He looked at his arms, "W-What? Is my suit talking to me?!"

"I know it's hard to process but you're being offered the greatest opportunity to take down our most retched enemy. Even if we have to cross some lines."

Spider-Man's eyes widened. Those words. It started to occur to him that after he wore this suit his life started to get even worse. More arguments, bad reputation. The suit was jeopardizing him!

"T-This suit! It-It's like a symbiote. It's trying to take me over!" Spider-Man started backing up.

"It's not like that! Don't talk nonsense Sentry. Were not trying to take you over, were trying to help you!"

Spider-Man was slowly coming to his senses like Big Man said. "No, No you're not!" He grabbed his right arm with his left hand and began trying to rip the Alien goo off of him.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE!"

"The only mistake I've made was letting you in my life Symbi! And besides, you've over stayed your welcome." Flash ripped apart of the suit off. But it grew back again. He began trying to tear it off from his head. That inevitably stumble and clash into the huge bell."

*BONG!*

The suit didn't react well with the sound of the bell. Causing it to let out a shriek and tingle. That's when it hit him.

"Wait, the bell! When you come into contact with the soundwaves coming from it you become weak!" Flash smiled beneath his mask. It'd seem he'd finally found a way to rid himself of the parasitic suit.

"STOP! STOP! YOU DON'T WANT TO THIS!"

"I've made my DECISION!" Spider-Man punched the bell as hard as he could. The suit reacted to it, causing it to become more weak, making it easier for Flash to rip it off. Spider-Man punched it again.

*BONG!*

The suit was becoming even more weak. Flash eventually ripped all of it off of him.

He was finally free. He was finally free of the suit that he'd now realized was making his life a living hell. He felt weights being lifted off his shoulders.

Well... only for that short moment.

"YOU WONT GET RID OF ME THAT EASILY!"

Suddenly the pieces of the suit began to merge back together. Flash who was now in nothing but an undershirt and his boxers turned around. His eyes widened.

The suit swiftly started for Flash. Grabbing his wrists and ankles. Flash squirmed, trying to break free but it was no use. "NO! NO!" The suit began wrapping itself all over Flash again. This time not bonding with him, but this time becoming a cocoon.

It supported itself by shooting it's 'webbing' across the room onto each wall, keeping it firm in place.

…..

……..

ISSUE #6 CHAPTER 5: Control

"Where am I? What's going on?!"

"What's going on is you're late for school."

Flash's eyes widened. He found himself sitting in bed with his pajamas on in their old house. A place that his mother sold a few months ago. He looked to his left and saw Lucas Sentry standing right there. His father.

"D-Dad!?"

"Well who'd you expect, Peter Pan?" His dad chuckled, "Nah, but seriously you're going to be late for school. So uh...you know why don't we hop to it you know, get going?"

Flash found himself smiling in joy. "Dad, you're really here!" He went up and hugged him. Getting another chuckle out of his father.

"Aw gee. I haven't gotten a hug like that out of you since you were 12." He broke it off, "But come on let's go." Both he and Flash started for the living room. They walked in to be met with his mother, Sabrina Sentry.

"Well it's about time you got up sleepy head." She handed him his lunch pale.

Flash however, still oblivious to what's really going on grabbed his mom's arms, "Mom do you believe it! Dad's back, he's here! Isn't great!"

Both Sabrina and Lucas shot each other confused looks. Not really knowing what's going on in their child's head. Needless they completely overlooked him.

"Okay kiddo time's ticking." Said Lucas, "You gotta go. You don't want to miss that field trip of yours do ya?"

Flash, still with a smile across his face arched an eyebrow. "Field trip? who cares about a dumb field trip. We need to celebrate! I have so much I want to tell you guys."

"Well you could do it after school."

Suddenly Flash found himself going further away from his parents, as if they were zooming out. He couldn't stop himself either.

"Wait!" He tried to reach out his arm to them, but it was no use.

Everything stopped. Flash now found himself standing in a laboratory with all his classmates. Looking around he saw a huge machine that was emitting radioactive beams of energy. His eyes widened. He knew what Field trip his father was referring to.

"The Field trip. The one where it all began." He began searching the room for a certain genetically modified super arachnid. The super spider that started it all.

"I-If I can just find that Spider. Then everything can go back to normal, Dad will be alive and-and."

But as Flash was trying to put his plan into fruition. He felt a sting in his hand, "Ow."

Looking at his top hand he saw the Spider that he'd been trying to look for and avoid ended up biting him again. Flash's eyes widened. It was happening all over again.

"Oh No, NO! NOT AGAIN!"

Flash watched everything flashing before his eyes. Everything!

Him first climbing a wall. Him swinging through the old abandoned school he'd been filming in. Him creating his own costume. A whole montage of Flash starting out as Spider-Man was flashing before his eyes. But the most important part of that whole sequence was the interactive memory of the whole wrestling match.

He was in his original suit, the one he had created before the real Spider-Man suit.

He looked at himself, "Wait. The wrestling suit, but that could only mean..."

"HEY FREAKSHOW!" An accented voice bellowed at him.

Spider-Man turned around, his eyes widened behind his goggles. He took a few steps back. What he saw was a big muscular man taller than him in a white spandex wrestling suit and black boots.

It was Crusher. The six-foot eleven wrestler he'd beaten. "PREPARE TO HAVE YOUR ASS HANDED TO YOU!"

Spider-Man however didn't want any part of it. "What?! I don't want to fight you! I want to get out of here!" He turned around, looking at a worker behind the cage of the wrestling rink. "Yo! GET ME OUTTA HERE!"

"YOU AIN'T GOING NO WHERE!" Crusher got Spider-Man's attention back. Much to Flash's dismay. "THIS IS MY PLAYGROUND."

Spider-Man rolled his eyes, "Ooo scary. Look, I don't have time for this." He looked back at the cage, trying to find a way to break out of it and get out of the rink.

But unfourtanetley, time was going his way. That's because the bell rung three times, meaning the match began. Spider-Man facepalmed, realizing he'd let the chance of escaping go past him. "Great now I have to fight in this sorry excuse of a figh--"

His Spider-Sense went off. He turned around and saw Crusher rushing at him. His eyes narrowed, he leapt upwards, causing Crusher to crash in to cage wall. Spider-Man had also clung onto the cage wall, right out of Crusher's reach.

Crusher staggered back onto his feet., looking around for Spider-Man. Eventually, he looked up and saw Spider-Man sticking onto the wall. His mouth gawped wide open seeing Spider-Man up that high.

"EY WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE HUH?"

Flash however wasn't in the same show time mood he'd been when he first fought Crusher. He instead was more blunt.

"Use your eyes dumbass! I'm staying away from you." That was Spider-Man poking the bear with a stick. He infuriated Crusher by his mere bluntness.

In response, Crusher jumped in the air to try to catch Spider-Man. Spider-Man however knew that Crusher wouldn't be able to grab him from up there. But still, he responded by jumping off the cage wall and landing right behind Crusher. He had a reason for it, he wanted to get this over with and get out as fast as possible. Crusher rushed Spider-Man again. Practically barreling towards him. Spider-Man was anticipating this. To him he was just fighting a brainless bull. Crusher attempted to grab Spider-Man but that's when Flash struck.

He jumped onto Crusher's arm. Swinging at his face in what seemed like a blur. That stunned Crusher as Spider-Man's strikes were more impactful than his. More powerful. He used the moment of him being stunned to perform a chain swift punches. Ending it off, he jumped off Crusher's arm and executed a tornado kick. Hitting Crusher across his face and sending him flying towards the cage walls.

He was knocked out. Spider-Man landed on the ground. He smirked a little behind his mask, feeling a bit of pride over what he'd just done. "Man, I didn't even take me half the time than it did right now."

But that small bit of pride would ultimately be his own downfall. Suddenly, the area around him started to change again. The wrestling arena was now the setting of the outside world, specifically outside the Canterlot Downtown Library. Flash he wasn't wearing his wrestling outfit, instead he was wearing normal clothes.

He looked around, even more dazed. "What now? Where am I?" He looked behind himself and looked at the building that stood behind him. His eyes widened, that confused look became a panicked look.

"Th-The Library?! But if I just fought Crusher and won, th-that would mean." He looked to his side, a bunch of people huddled up together. His heart dropped, he knew this scene all to well. "No, No, NO!" He began running towards the people, he could feel tears swelling from his eyes.

He pushed his way through everyone to make it to the center of attention. He stood there for a quick second, he could feel his heart wrenching even more at the body laying on the ground.

"NO!" He let out a loud cry, trying to get to the body.

An officer noticed. So in-turn, he tried to hold him back. "Hey! Hey! Stay back!"

Flash however, wasn't having any of it. He pushed through officer, "OUT OF MY WAY!" After doing that, he knelt down to the body. "Dad! Dad please don't go!" He held the head of his father in his arms.

His father had been shot, a pool of blood surrounded him. But he was able to muster enough strength to see his son one last time. He smiled, his eyes were a little teary but it was tears of joy. "F-Flash." He tried to reach out for Flash's face. But his head rattled back slowly and he passed away in his son's arms.

Flash closed his eyes and began to sob. "I-I'm too late!"

The scenery around Flash changed again. But except there was no actual scenery this time. Instead it was Flash alone on his knees, sobbing in an empty void of nothingness.

That was until the black-suited Spider-Man appeared out of the ground. He looked at the sobbing teenager and began to speak to him.

"Don't you see now Sentry?! Anytime, anytime we've done something that was for good means, the world doesn't want to reward us. You didn't kill your father, the world took him away from us! All's we've been doing was trying to help you."

Flash looked at the alien figure with teary eyes.

"Join us again. Bond with us again! Let the world witness our greatness and let them wallow in their own guilt and make it rue the day it took your father away. Let us be one."

Flash looked at the alien figure. "It's right. I'm nothing without "the suit" what choice do I really have?"

Flash gave his hand out to the creature. The creature's eyes narrowed at the despaired teenager, it brought joy to him. The black-suited Spider-Man grabbed Flash's hand and it began to crawl up his arms.

But that's when a familiar male voice called out to the both of them, "Wow. Don't you think I get a say in your future?" Flash was pulled back and taken away by the alien's grip.

Flash looked at the person who did it. His eyes widened in disbelief, "Dad?"

The alien of the room however was not having it. "We don't need you anymore old man!"

Lucas smirked and chuckled, "Your right. You don't need me" He patted Flash's shoulder, "But he does." He turned away from the alien and looked at Flash, "Come on kiddo, let's go for a walk."

Flash, though completely dazed on what's going on. Obeyed his father and began walking with him.

"Now I know you're at that age where you'd loathe me for trying to get in your personal life, but I-I'm telling you I gotta step in right now." He took a pause."You know, that guy may seem all cool and powerful and stuff but the truth is, he's not gonna do you any good, and half the things he's telling aren't necessarily the truth."

"But he's right about one thing." Flash sounded gloom and depressed, "The whole world is always against me whenever I do something good."

Lucas frowned. As if he'd heard this one so many times, "So, even after all these years, you're still bothered by everyone's public perception of you. That's your biggest adversity?"

"Well...I mean it's more than that but yeah--"

*slap*

Flash was cut off by a slap to the face by his father. It completely side tracked him. He looked at his father shocked, but not saying a word.

"I-I'm sorry but, you have got to be kidding me!" He sounded a bit more stern with Flash and began to yell at him. To him that was probably the most stupid thing he'd ever heard his son say, "You've got good friends, a good girlfriend, a caring mother and you've got a good future ahead of you. And you want to throw it all away because you want the approval of random people you've never met? That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard out of you. If anything, the people that actually care about you should be worth more to you. Not to mention you're trying to make the worst mistake of your life and join that monster!"

"Don't listen to him Sentry! He's dead what's his opinion matter to us! We have to think ahead."

Lucas got Flash's attention back and put both hands on his shoulders, "Flash forget him! Let me tell you something that I want you to remember for the rest of your life! You've never understood a thing about control, you blame yourself for the things you have no control over and you've lost your own self-control to him! I know you more than he ever will and he's nothing like you! You're the man in control not him, remember that." He gave Flash a determined smile.

Flash stood there silent. Not saying a word for a while. He turned around and looked at the black suit Spider-Man. He wasn't sad anymore instead his eyes narrowed on the 'shadow clone' of Spider-Man. Flash grabbed the hoodie he wore and zipped it down, revealing the real Spider-Man costume.

"You're making a mistake Sentry!"

Flash threw his hoodie off of him and took his pants off. Then, he put on the real Spider-Man mask, "I've made my decision."

Symbiote's eyes narrowed on Spider-Man. It was clear to him he wouldn't join by his own will, not even making him pity would do the trick. Instead, he had the plans of making him join against his will.

"Fine! Look's like You'll have to join by FORCE!"

The Symbiote lunged towards Spider-Man. Spider-Man reacted quickly, leaping out of the way just as the Symbiote was centimeters away. Spider-Man clung onto what he could assume to be a wall in the empty void. Symbiote regained his composure and the two both gave each other a stare down.

Spider-Man eyes narrowed on Symbiote. He launched himself off the non-existent wall. He dove towards Symbiote, but that would result in an unsuccessful attempt. Symbiote fists drove into Spider-Man's gut. This caused Spider-Man to go flying back and fall onto the ground.

Spider-Man groaned in pain. He mustered up the strength to rise back to his feet and regain his own composure. As soon as he got up however, his Spider-Sense went off. Spider-Man turned around to see Symbiote coming at him with a flying kick. Spider-Man quickly grabbed Symbiote's foot.

He hurled Symbiote over his shoulder and turned around. As Symbiote was about to hit the ground, Spider-Man extended his arm out and fired a webline at the bottom of Symbiote's foot. He snagged the webline and tugged on it. Symbiote was pulled back by Spider-Man's webline and was on route to meet Spider-Man's fist.

Symbiote acted quickly to avoid Spider-Man's fist. He rebounded himself mid-air and fired his own webs from his top-hand. These webs met Spider-Man's face, blinding him and making him let out a cry. Shortly after, Spider-Man was met with a kick from Symbiote, causing to stumble to the ground. He ripped the webbing off of his face but it was too late.

Symbiote landed on top of Spider-Man and began to relentlessly punch him in the face without any pause. He mocked Flash as he did so. "DO YOU SEE NOW SENTRY? DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DEFY US?!"

Spider-Man couldn't get up, no less try and fight back. Symbiote was too powerful. His Spider-Sense was going crazy as each punch met his face.

Symbiote stopped, thinking he'd made his point. He laughed and scoffed at Spider-Man, It's over for you. You will be ours!

Spider-Man winced. He raised his head up slowly and muttered out his response. "I'm, stronger than you think."

Without hesitation, he drove his fists into Symbiote's jaw. This got Symbiote off of him and he quickly got off the ground. Symbiote landed on the ground flawlessly and let out screech. Out of his back came tentacles.

"WE ARE GROWING QUITE TIRED OF YOUR STUBORNESS SENTRY! JUST GIVE IN AND JOIN US!"

Flash smirked under his mask, "It's going to take a lot more than sophisticated words and sentences to get me!" He charged at Symbiote, letting out a battle cry.

Symbiote snarled, "YOUR FUNERAL SENTRY!"

His tentacles rushed for Spider-Man, trying to get him into their grip. Spider-Man however anticipated for this; it was almost predictable that this would be Symbiote's set of actions. Spider-Man leapt up high in the void. The tentacles followed in pursuit but Spider-Man saw them as an advantage for him. To make Symbiote weak.

Spider-Man ripped the first few oncoming tentacles off of Symbiote with all his might. Landing back on the ground, he set his feet on the ground and watched as more of Symbiote's tentacles came towards him. Spider-Man grabbed both tentacles, moving his hands in opposite sides. He gripped both of them firmly and ripped them off of Symbiote.

Spider-Man began charging for Symbiote, this time avoiding any tentacle that came his way. He vaulted over, slid under, any means of motion to dodge Symbiote's tentacles. Much to Symbiote's annoyance.

"STAY STILL!"

Spider-Man chuckled under his mask, "Look's like the jig is up for you." He landed punch of Symbiote, sending him flying back. "It's a shame really. Heh, forgive me for sounding tacky but this whole time I was led to believe you were a lifesaver for me. But in reality, you're nothing but a lifetaker."

Spider-Man charged at Symbiote, who retaliated by charging back at him. Spider-Man narrowed his eyes. Symbiote reached for Spider-Man's neck. Spider-Man used overly aggressive nature and countered by grabbing Symbiote's wrist and quickly jabbing at his face.

Spider-Man continued by continuously punching him. He held back for a moment and took a deep breath.

"Sorry, but consider yourself dumped!"

Spider-Man let out one last cry before releasing all his strength into one punch.

Symbiote felt all of it. Suddenly he found himself melting away, screaming as he'd been defeated.

Spider-Man panted, he'd finally avail over his toughest battle. He took off his mask and looked into the distance, he smiled as he saw the face of his father.

"Thanks for slapping some sense into me Dad."

Lucas chuckled, "Anytime. And hey, remember you're never alone."

Spider-Man broke through the cocoon created by his own suit after defeating it's manifestation. Causing pieces of the symbiote to go everywhere.

*BONG!*

"NO STOP! YOU'RE MAKING A MISTARE!"

*BONG!*

Flash however didn't respond, he'd felt he'd make his point.

*BONG!*

The suit screeched with each violent sound of the bell.

*BONG!*

Flash began ripping the suit off, bit by bit!

"NO, STOP! STOP!"

Flash took ahold of his chest, otherwise the upper torso of the suit. He girt his teeth as he used all his strength to rip it off of him. He then looked at the bell, he clenched his fist and gave it one last punch.

*BONG!*

The suit fell off of him due to the soundwaves, revealing Flash to still be in an undershirt and striped boxers. Flash spotted a bucket and lid in the corner of the room. He quickly fired a webline towards them and pulled it over to himself. He scooped up the symbiote with the bucket and quickly put the lid on the top of the bucket to trap the symbiote in the bucket. To add on, he shot some webbing to reinforce it.

"I better get out of here." He looked out the window, it was night time. Flash had been trapped for a few hours. It amazed him, he'd been there without anyone noticing him.

He spotted a window at the ceiling. He jumped up and grabbed a railing with one hand while he held the bucket in the other one.

He crawled through the window and he now found himself standing on top of the large cathedral. A full moon was out, it'd looked beautiful and made the webbing glisten a little. Flash knew he was truly in a tough situation, his apartment was a bit far from the cathedral but not too far.

He looked at the roof he was on. He had a pretty clear mindset of what he wanted to do. He used his webbing and stuck the bucket of the Alien Ooze onto the roof.

Turning away, he fired a webline and headed for his apartment to get a clean change of clothes.

ISSUE #6 CHAPTER 6: Let something off my chest

Flash had made the whole trip from the Cathedral and back relatively undetected. Now he sat on the floor in the corner of his Bedroom. He'd taken a quick shower and put on some clothes. A black sleeve shirt and jeans. He was relatively quiet, he was speechless to say the least. He'd gotten rid of the symbiote but the realization that Spider-Man was public enemy number one now sat with him.

He had no idea of what he was supposed to do now. If he stopped being Spider-Man, the whole city would go to crap like it did the first time he'd try to give it all up. But if he went out there, what good would that do him. He wasn't at square one again, but he didn't know what to make of Spider-Man's situation.

That was until he'd gotten a knock on his door.

*knock, knock, knock.*

Flash was caught off guard by the knock. He initially ignored it, he just put his head back down and continue to sit there in silence.

But then it happened again.

*knock, knock, knock.*

But it was followed by a faint voice.

"Flash? Flash it's Sunset. Are you home?"

Flash's let out sigh. It already made him feel bad enough that he had a tantrum at her place, but it made him feel even worse that she'd want to check on him, considering he considered himself a jerk right now. But he'd be even more of a jerk if he didn't answer the door. So he got up and started for the living room.

He opened the door. Sunset smiled, "Can I come in?"

Flash mustered enough strength to form a weak smile on his face, "Yeah"

He moved out of the way and let Sunset in, closing the door behind him. Sunset looked around the room, "Well this place is nice and cozy as always." She giggled and plopped down on the couch. "When you left earlier I felt like something was wrong so I just came to check on you."

Flash was silent, but Sunset nonetheless continued.

"How's your Mother doing?"

"She's alright, she's been happy with her boyfriend and well she's invited me over for dinner next Saturday."

Flash knew he had to bring up what'd happen or else it'd be awkward between him and her friends forever. He walked towards the couch and sat next to her. He took a deep breath, "L-Look Sunset, about earlier. I-I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me, I--"

Sunset chuckled and cut him off, "Flash. It's fine. I know you didn't mean to do any of that." She got closer to him and held his arm. "You're still that nice goofball that everyone knows and loves."

Flash found himself slowly smiling again. He gave Sunset a look as she basically cuddled with his right arm. It'd crossed his mind once but he kept 'it' out of the picture after they're first breakup. When he took up the mantle again and they got back together he decided to just keep it a secret from her. But now, now he felt that she was gonna find out one way or another.

"Sunset?"

"Yeah?"

"Do-Do you think I can tell you something? Like something you can keep a secret."

Sunset nodded, "Of course you can."

"But you'll keep it a secret, right?"

"Yeah." She looked up at him and gave him a reassuring smile, "What is it?"

Flash nervously gulped, what he was going to say wasn't exactly easy for him. He didn't know how she'd react, would she mortified? would she be supportive? would she plain out just leave him? he didn't know, but he had to take the chance.

"I-I-I...."

Sunset gestured for him to go on.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "I'm Spider-Man."

Sunset let all of that sink in, those two simple words. Her eyes widened at the words, "What?"

Flash opened his eyes, he knew he said it. This time he looked Sunset in the eyes, "Sunset Shimmer, I'm Spider-Man."

She looked at Flash. It was more clear to her about what he'd just said. She looked him in the eyes, it dawned on her that he wasn't bluffing. But then she began putting the pieces together, his sudden disappearances, missed dates, his flawless pictures of Spider-Man! She gasped at the realization.

"Flash. Y-You're....."

Flash lowered his head and nodded, "Yup, that's right. I'm 'The Spectacular Spider-Man'." He sounded rather dull.

"So the pictures in the Bugle--"

"Are just pictures of me taken on my Camera on shutter mode."

"A-And all the times you took those long Bathroom Breaks in school were--"

"To go stop an armed Robbery, Mugging, Car Chases, anything really."

"S-So, all the times you've missed our dates were to fight criminals and keep the city safe."

Flash frowned, "Are you disappointed?"

Sunset's shoulders dropped at the comment, she found herself smiling, "WHAT!? No! Oh my god Flash that is so cool, oh now I just feel stupid for always yelling at you when I should've realized you were out just trying to protect us and--" she stopped, she remembered everything that happened earlier in the morning, "Oh. Wow....So when you got mad at us it was because we were trashing you in front of your face."

Flash blushed a little in embarrassment, "Again, I didn't mean to. But it's not like I should've gotten mad in the first place. Besides, the whole city is basically against me. They think I'm a criminal, I'm out for the sole purpose of clout or whatever and they think I murdered a guy. I should've been used to it by now."

Sunset's eyes narrowed on Flash, "Hey! Don't let them get your head! They don't know anything about you! If anything they should just be grateful that someone cares enough to protect them."

Flash looked at Sunset and the two both exchanged smiles, "Thanks babe. I needed that."

A few moments of silence went by. They didn't say much to each other. Sunset was curious however, she wanted to know Spider-Man's full backstory everything. So she asked.

"Flash?"

"Hm?"

"If you don't mind me asking, what's your story. Like, were you born with all of this or how does your powers work."

Flash smirked a little, "You want Spider-Man's backstory?"

She blushed a little and nodded, "Yeah."

Flash put her arm around Sunset and reminisced. "Well for starters, I wasn't born with these powers. I was born just a normal person. Anyways, it all began at he beginning of senior year. You recall the CTU Trip, right?"

Sunset chuckled, "How could I not, Twilight had been on and on about it before school even began."

"Heh. So anyway, at The CTU trip. Well, it basically when we arrived, an emergency protocol had been let out because of some missing project or something. Turns out, that missing project was some sort of Genetically Altered Spider or something. And well, during the whole radioactive showcase. I guess the Spider just happened to stumble onto my hand because the next thing I knew, I was bit by it."

"Woah!" Sunset exclaimed, "So what, you then suddenly just had a huge power surge and began climbing on walls and stuff?"

"No." said Flash, "I felt like crap afterwards. Then the day after I began feeling all uh...strong and stuff. I mean you wouldn't believe it. The day after, I woke up with a six-pack and felt completely great as if yesterday didn't even happen. But then later on, I kinda discovered that the Spider Bite left more than just a six-pack."

Sunset got closer, getting more and more intrigued by the story, "Like what? Please, you gotta tell me."

A small giggle escaped Flash. He rolled his eyes, "Okay calm down. Sheesh you're like my cousin when she found out."

"Wait, what?"

Flash's eyes widened, "Uh...I'll explain later. But back to the powers, well I was at the Library just studying when for some reason, the my pencil was stuck onto my wrist. When I inspected it I saw a bunch of whitish grey sticky stuff. I was a little confused at first so I tried to pull it off but instead I ended up shooting a bunch of it out in the form of...I guess you could say a rope or something, I'm still working on a name for it, but anyway I shot it onto another book. It really, really freaked me out so I left the library in a hurry."

"D-Do you think you could show me?" Sunset asked.

Flash arched an eyebrow, "Wait, in here?!"

"I just want to see it in person."

Flash was about to argue the fact that she'd been there for his first encounter with Goblin, but he knew if he did than Sunset would immediately think he was lying. He let out a sigh and took his arm off of Sunset. He got off the couch and searched for something he could fire a webline at.

He spotted a wrapper near the garbage can. He looked back at Sunset, "You're absolutely sure you want to see this up close?"

Sunset nodded her heard. Very interested.

Once Flash knew she approved, he turned his attention back to the chip bag. He narrowed his eyes on it and outstretched his arm. He flicked his middle and ring finger on his palm, letting out a webline. It wasn't anything dramatic for Flash, the webline had traveled quickly and struck the chip bag. Sticking onto it.

"There. It's not really that special or anything but, well here it is."

For Sunset however, it was probably the most coolest thing she'd seen tonight, possibly in her whole life. She quickly got off the couch and ran to Flash. She inspected the webline and looked at Flash's hand to the piece of litter.

"Wow so that's how you shoot your...web ropes? Just like that?"

"Y-Yeah?" Flash nodded.

She looked up at him, even more intrigued and excited, "So what else can you do?"

Flash snagged the webline and caught a hold of the chip bag. He set it down, the webbing still on it and off his wrist. He looked up at the ceiling. He jumped up and clung onto the ceiling. Surprising Sunset even more. She backed up a little but looked at him with amazement.

Flash smirked a little, "Well I mean, I think you know the rest. Heck you were there for one of my fights. Wall-Crawling, Enhanced Speed and Agility and this little thing I like to call my Spider-Sense."

"Spider-Sense?"

"It's kind of like a sixth sense, well I mean technically it's been proven that we have more than five senses but you get the picture. The Spider-Sense basically allows me to sense danger in my surroundings a few seconds before they happen. It's kind of my trump card."

Her eyes lit up in amazement, "Wow. That's so cool! So what? You found out you had all these powers and decided that you needed to use them for the greater good?" she chuckled a little. However, the comment made Flash frown a little.

"That's...not exactly the full story."

Her smile basically faded away. She saw Flash not laughing. She watched as Flash let go of the celling and. Flash took a deep breath and lowered his head.

"W-When I'd discovered I had all these new powers I had a billion ideas just pop up in my head. And all of it had to do with becoming some sort of Media Icon. I wanted to prove everyone who had doubted me wrong. I kinda started neglecting school because of it. Then...….Then there was this televised wrestling competition at the Coliseum. I thought it was my perfect shot, my one chance at getting recognized and maybe getting a big break. So I jumped on the opportunity and created a costume with the time and budget I had. My plan was to secretly enter it, win the cash prize and eventually tell my parents. I even had a good decoy to cover it all up and evade suspicion from my parents. I did end up winning the cash prize, but when I walked off with the cash a robber had made it's way into the building and he robbed the manager of the whole event. I had become so full of my own pride that when I saw that the robber was running my way I....I moved out of the way and let him go. I ended up paying the biggest price that night, the same robber who I let go ended up gunning my Dad down in front of the downtown library. It...It hurt me a lot, I wanted one thing that night and that was revenge. I chased the robber down into an old warehouse, but that was when I learned that he was the one I had let go. After that, after that one event occurred it became a turning point in my life. My Dad had told me one thing that I always lived by and that was 'With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.' That's why I became Spider-Man, to protect innocent lives for the greater good."

Sunset felt so bad for thinking about Spider-Man's story with a grain of salt. She hugged Flash, embraced him. "Flash, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you sound like a joke."

"It's fine." Said Flash, "It's not like it's public knowledge or anything, you didn't even know."

She rested her head on Flash's chest. She was letting all of the information sink in. She looked up back at Flash, "Flash, why are you telling me all of this?"

Flash let out another sigh. He held Sunset a little tighter, "Because I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do."

"Why?" Flash was silent however. It worried Sunset even more, so she insisted. "Come on Lightning, What's wrong?"

Flash's eyes narrowed, he took a deep breath. "Sunset. The suit, the black suit I had. It wasn't something I created or even intended to have, it was an alien life form."

"An alien life form?"

"Yes. It was like a symbiote parasite. It took complete control of me, I couldn't even make my own decisions without it's influence. To make it worse, I was so blinded by all the power I didn't even realize the harm it was doing to me. Now that everything is said and done, what use will it make if I put the costume on again. This time the city is really against me and it's all my fault."

Sunset placed both her hands on Flash's cheeks after listening to all of that. She now put it upon herself to console him, "Hey, I know where you're coming from. I know what it's like to have all of that power. You think it feels good, like you're on top of the world. But deep down, you know it isn't right and when you've finally realized it, you feel like you deserve the most harshest and cruel punishment imaginable." Flash was about to lower his head but Sunset lightly pushed it back up so they'd face each other one on one, "Flash, redemption isn't an overnight thing. It's a long process that could take months maybe even years. But before any of that, the first thing you have to do is forgive yourself."

"F-Forgive my self?"

"For all the harm you truly believed you caused." She gave him a reassuring smile, "You've always been a good person Flash and you always will be. And the whole city needs you whether they like it or not. You just have to see it." She got on her tippy toes and gave him a meaningful peck on the cheek, "I'll see you tomorrow."

She broke the hug off. She started for the door and exited the apartment room, closing the door behind her.

Flash stood there. The only thing residing in his head was Sunset's words, especially 'Forgive Yourself'. He walked towards his balcony of his small studio apartment and stared into the distance. He began recollecting one promise he'd made to himself.

"As I long as I live, I will never forget these words! 'With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.' I won't let these powers go to waste! I'll make sure no one has to go through what Dad did."

He leaned against the side of the balcony wall and crossed his arms. He let out a sigh, so many times had he try to go back on his word. So many times had he given up. Especially in the beginning of it all. But then he remembered something else, something of when he was in that symbiote cocoon.

"The people that actually care about you should mean more to you!"

Flash's eyes narrowed. He couldn't let Spider-Man go out like this, he had to make up for what Symbiote caused and he had keep his promise alive no matter what.

He turned around and headed for his bedroom. He closed the balcony door behind him and stormed into his room. He started for the closet and pulled the doors opened. There he found his Spider-Man costume on top of a pile of clothes. He grabbed it with both hands and held it up.

He gazed at it's red and blue. The "OG colors" as he would put it.

"Time to finish some unsettled business."

Sunset Shimmer had got into a taxi. "Take me to 81 Magnus Street please." The Cab Driver nodded and began driving towards the location. She got onto her phone to listen to some music. But in doing so, she saw a shadow completely jolt past her.

It caught her off guard. She rolled the car window down to see what that had just been. She poked her head out the window and what she saw began bringing her a smile to her face. She could make out a red and blue figure holding onto what appeared to be a rope.

She knew exactly who it was beneath the mask.

"Go get em' Thunder."

ISSUE #6 CHAPTER 7: Unfinished Business

Big Man was typing on his computer. The top office room of Sherman's Tower was well lit and it was a good night for his crime network. He planned something huge, another attack on Kingpin's new number two, Tombstone. What he was typing was orders for the criminal who was in charge of executing the whole scheme. From what he was being told, the attack at one of Tombstone's waterfront warehouses were going well and it seemed by the end of the night he'd be owning another piece of land.

But that wasn't the only thing he was anticipating for. We all know what he was really anticipating for, Spider-Man. For Spider-Man and him to finally make amends and have him join the criminal network's conquest in taking down the rival gangs. He knew Spider-Man was just as good as Tombstone and he'd be giving Kingpin a run for his money. With Spider-Man at his side he'd be the most untouchable man in Equestria State maybe even all of America if he wants to be extreme about it.

He sipped on some fine wine from a glass. It tasted sweet, as it was rather sweeter than most wine. But it's what he wanted to taste. It was a metaphor of the sweet taste of victory. Then suddenly he stopped. He looked at his wine glass and could see the reflection of the window behind him. His eyes narrowed.

*CRASH!*

Spider-Man came in through the huge window which overlooked the city. A rather dramatic but kind of epic entrance for the web-slinger. He did a triple somersault over Big Man and landed right in front of his desk. Where most of his men would stand.

Big Man was unaffected by any shards of glass, instead he found himself to be nonchalant about it. "You do know we have a front door, don't you?"

Spider-Man's eyes narrowed, "Gigs up Big Man. You're coming with me whether you like it or not."

Big Man arched an eyebrow, "So I presume my negotiated offer fell through with you?"

"You'd be out of your mind to think that I would ever consider joining you."

Big Man got up from his seat, "Well I should've known that trying to convince the hopeless wouldn't exactly prosper. Even if I was willing to make an exception out of them."

Spider-Man scowled, "What, is that supposed to be a threat?" He stood up straight, keeping his gaze on Big Man, "You honestly think I'm afraid of a guy in a suit?"

"Think is an understatement."

Spider-Man grit his teeth under his mask. Big Man was eerily very confident for some reason. But nonetheless, he had the chance to take him down and he was gonna take it this time. "BRING IT!" Spider-Man bellowed.

Big Man sighed, "When this is all said and done, I'll be to personally finance your funeral and show your family how pathetic you are."

That one comment personally ticked off Spider-Man. It prompted him to go at him first. He let out a cry of anger and lunged towards him. He leapt over Big Man's desk and stuck his leg out quickly. However, that would end up being Spider-Man's gravest mistake.

Big Man caught the attempted kick. In other words, his leg. Spider-Man's eyes widened. Big Man merely chuckled, "You really shouldn't judge a book by it's cover Spider-Man, its proven to be a common disadvantage." Big Man quickly jabbed at Spider-Man's jaw, knocking him back.

Spider-Man rebounded himself and staggered to his feet. He narrowed his eyes on Big Man, realizing why he was so confident. "Look's like this guy has more than meets the eye! I better keep my guard up." Spider-Man clenched both of fists and got into an offensive stance.

Big Man face crept a mocking smile, "Cute." He effortlessly leapt over his desk and landed right behind Spider-Man. Spider-Man wanted this however, he was gonna use his Spider-Sense to it's extent.

Big Man quickly attempted a punch right behind Spider-Man's back. But fortunately , Spider-Man ducked and turned around before the punch could land on him. Unfortunately though, Spider-Man too attempted a swift jab. Big Man caught the punch and quickly retaliated with a fist he drove right into Spider-Man's stomach. Furthermore, he elbowed Spider-Man's back and held him up by his head, throwing him down on his back. He then placed his foot on Spider-Man's chest, firmly keeping him in place.

Spider-Man let out a groan in pain, Big Man merely scoffed at him. "What a pathetic display of job action. But that's not to say I haven't seen worst."

Spider-Man was looking around and searching the room. His eyes fixated on a pool table. "Okay Number Eight, don't fail me now!" He fired a webline at a pool ball. He had an anticipation, the eight ball hits the side of Big Man's head and he get's free. He snagged and tugged the webline super hard, sending the eight ball towards the side of Big Man's head.

However, when his said plan was put into motion. Big Man caught the pool ball with out even breaking a sweat and crushed it in his hand. Spider-Man's eyes widened, "Oh, how I've become error."

Big Man smirked, "Well I might as well end this ugly confrontation of ours." He raised his foot off of Spider-Man's chest. Both he and Spider-Man knew what he would do next. "See you in hell wall crawler."

Spider-Man knew that if he'd gotten up and tried to attack, he'd be pin down to the ground again."I need a distraction and quick. Then Spider-Man had an idea, "WAIT! The Ceiling window!" He looked Big Man in the eyes, pretending to accept his fate. Then he quickly raised his arm up and fired another webline towards the Ceiling window he had used earlier, catching Big Man's attention. He tugged on the webline, breaking the metal frame of the window off.

Big Man was confused, "Wait what was even the point of--" However, midway through his sentence, Spider-Man shot some webbing in his face, completely fooling him. He then rolled out of the way and got back onto his feet.

Spider-Man knew that he had a few seconds before Big Man would rip the webbing straight off so he used it. He lunged towards Big Man. "Let's see how you can dodge this!" He droved a punch to Big Man's stomach, finally landing some contact on him. He continued by kneeing him and then doing a high kick to his jaw.

It sent Big Man up in the air and then falling all the way to his desk. Upon landing on it, the front leg of the desk completely broke due to Big Man's impact force, Causing the desk to break down and be slanted. Big Man finally ripped the webbing off his face and got off the desk.

"Seems I've underestimated you Arachnid. No wonder my men have trouble exterminating you. You're a whole different species of pest."

Spider-Man chuckled, "Well I'm no House Spider."

"Enough of this nonsense." Big Man scowled, "I'm going to end this!"

He charged for Spider-Man, running at speeds comparable to Spider-Man himself. Spider-Man's eyes narrowed. He leapt over Big Man and stared down at him mid-air. He clung onto the ceiling and continued to stare down Big Man.

He then decided to launch himself off the ceiling and straight for Big Man. He outstretched both his arms and began firing web bullets at Big Man from his wrists. As Spider-Man was getting a little closer, he knew that web bullets wouldn't be exactly his focal point offensively. He knew that he would be diving straight into Big Man's grasp.

He quickly fired a webline and snagged it. Swinging in the air. He stretched out both his legs and charged at Big Man. Big Man's eyes widened as he saw Spider-Man only a few seconds away.

Spider-Man ended up kicking Big Man square in the face with both feet! Sending him into the wall. Big Man created a small crater in the wall due to his impact and lost his composure for a moment. Spider-Man's eyes narrowed on Big Man. He dashed for him, raising his fist up.

"I-If you think it's ending that easily you're sadly mistaken!" Big Man regained his composure way before Spider-Man even landed the punch on him. It was too late for Spider-Man to turn course now, he had already lunged towards Big Man and was about land the punch.

So Big Man found his advantage point. He got out of his impact crater and lunged for Spider-Man. He quickly kneed Spider-Man in the stomach mid air, stopping him in his tracks. Spider-Man nearly stumbled back but kept his balance, his he was bent over with his arms wrapped around his stomach and his head down.

Then his Spider-Sense went off. He cocked his head up and was nearly met with Big Man's dress shoes. Spider-Man ducked quickly and dodged it.

Spider-Man pivoted to the side, letting go of his stomach and mustering enough strength to stand up straight and keep going.

Big Man grimaced at Spider-Man. "Pest."

He charged at Spider-Man. He attempted a few quick jabs at him but Spider-Man had now been a little comfortable with dodging Big Man's attack. It wasn't a breeze for him but it certainly was a little work out.

"Man, now that I think about it. He kinda reminds me of Goblin. Like an even more juiced up one."

Spider-Man leapt over Big Man dodging a knee and landed right behind him. "Did he associate with Goblin? Or is he like some sort of Chuck Norris?"

"You know Spider-Man. The more you keep running, the longer this insignificant fight will be." He charged at Spider-Man again.

Spider-Man chuckled, "It could be shorter if you just well, oh I don't know turn yourself in and enter the prison system--" He dodged another one of Big Man's punches and stepped back. "To become a better person in society."

Big Man found himself chuckling and stood his ground. Spider-Man's eyes both narrowed as he got into an offensive stance.

"I'm going to offer you this one last time Spider-Man. Join me now. Everything is still on the table except, I'll be willing to give you all that information I know you've been looking for."

Spider-Man stood up straight, "Sorry. But I do things humanely."

Big Man closed his eyes and smirked, "I should've known."

The two both intensely stared at one and other for a moment. It was silent in the office, despite the sounds of cars and people below along with the sound of a clock in the office. Neither Spider-Man or Big Man spoke.

But then, Big Man began to charge at Spider-Man again. Spider-Man clenched his fists and began to charge at Big Man as well. Both Spider-Man swung for each other which in-turn led to both their fists ramming into each other.

Spider-Man winced, let out a scream and moved back, rubbing his knuckle. "OW! Oh man, they make that look so easy in Dragon Ball--" He was cut off again by his Spider-Sense. Big Man was charging at him again. So he decided to take a different approach.

He leapt up and fired a webline on the ceiling, narrowly dodging Big Man. He had to make the most of the confided space he was in. He swung around the room, and began shooting web bullets at Big Man. They weren't so much as hurting Big Man but rather irritating him.

Then, Spider-Man let go of his webline and nailed two web bullets right in Big Man's eyes. Causing Big Man to bellow at Spider-Man, "GAH! DAMN YOU!"

Spider-Man landed on the ground and quickly rushed for Big Man. He drove his fist into Big Man's stomach. It caused a wheeze to come out of Big Man. Spider-Man then executed a flying high kick under Big Man's Chin, sending him flying.

Spider-Man smirked under his mask. "That's it! His big weakness is the lack of eyesight."

Big Man ripped the webbing out of his eyes and was absolutely livid. Spider-Man could hear Big Man huffing. "Y-You.....are......such.....a......PEST! YOUR LUCK ISN'T GONNA LAST FOREVER!"

He ran at Spider-Man, even faster before. Before Spider-Man could react, he was met with multiple swift punches to the face. It was unreal, it was like Big Man's skills had just multiplied and became even greater. Spider-Man was kicked in the chest by Big Man and sent back.

Spider-Man rebounded himself mid air and reached for the floor. His finger tips stopped him from flying back and he slid on the ground for a moment until his fingers grip stopped him.

He winced, feeling a sharp pain in both cheeks. In a jerky motion, he cocked his head up to face Big Man but instead, his Spider-Sense went off and he faced the bottom of Big Man's shoe. He was sent flying back again and crashed into the Elevator of Big Man's elevator. Spider-Man practically funneled through the Elevator doors and slammed into the wall of the Elevator.

Big Man followed. Running towards the Elevator, he crawled through the hole Spider-Man made and stood in front of Spider-Man's laying body. Spider-Man let out a groan and slowly looked up at Big Man who was chuckling and cracking his fist.

He gave Spider-Man a twisted grin. He was done with trying to recruit Spider-Man, instead he now has murder on his mind! "I am going to enjoy turning you into a rug Spider-Man."

Spider-Man's lenses widened. Being a sensible human being, he rolled out of Big Man's way and quickly clung onto, "Sorry Pal. But uh-- well you see I kinda want to see this thing called My Future!. And besides, I'm not sure being a house rug is a sensible way of earning income--"

"SHUT UP!" He Big Man swung at Spider-Man as hard as he could, only for Spider-Man to cling onto the ceiling.

Spider-Man's lenses squinted, "Look's like he's more closer to his original pace. But still there's no telling what he could pull out of his sleeve. I can't believe I'm saying this but--"

Before Spider-Man could finish. He again switched positions from the ceiling onto the opposite side of where the Elevator doors once stood. Otherwise known as the wall he slammed into earlier. Without hesitation, he outstretched both arms and shot two Weblines at Big Man's feet. Snagging the two, he tugged on them as hard as possible, sending Big Man to fall on the ground.

"Okay where was I again?...…Come on, Come on, Come on.....OH YEAH! I can't risk ticking him off to the point where he's the Rhino. If I do that I might be sleeping in a coffin tonight."

Big Man groaned from the pain in the back of his head. Spider-Man's lenses widened as he had an open opportunity right in front of him. "Well Sentry, better make this one count!"

He launched himself off the wall and dove for Big Man. Extending his foot out, Spider-Man attempted to kick Big Man in his face.

Big Man had a wry grin slowly form on his face. Catching Spider-Man by surprise, he grabbed Spider-Man's ankle mid air. Keeping him in place. Adding the slightest pressure to his hand, it was enough to make Spider-Man scream as the pressure of Big Man's hand felt like squeezing on Spider-Man's ankle.

Then, what looked to be effortlessly. Big Man tossed Spider-Man up. But the toss was of much greater impact and caused Spider-Man to crash into the ceiling and completely emerge from the elevator box.

Enter the elevator shaft. It was rather wide despite the fact Big Man had the one elevator in his so on so 'luxury office suite.' But that was because the building had another two elevator boxes. The main ones used by the people during office hours in Sherman's tower. However, the one in Big Man's office was only accessible to him and otherwise completely hidden from all floors.

Spider-Man ended up crashing into right half of the Elevator Box. So out of habit he landed on the other half. Sitting down. The first set of action you may be asking? Well, it was to immediately clutch his ankle and grit his teeth in pain.

"AUGH! DAMN! MY ANKLE'S KILLING ME! Oh my god, what the hell did he do to it." Spider-Man tried standing up straight but almost immediately went back down to grab his ankle. Wrapping his hands around both sides. "Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow Dammit, OW DAMMIT!"

Then, Big Man leapt out of the Elevator and again stood right in front of Spider-Man. "Well would you look at that. The big and tough Spider-Man is now weak and hurting on the floor. Such a predicament."

Spider-Man arched an eyebrow for a moment, mustering up some strength to speak, "Okay. Either you're really old or you've run out of sinister lines and are now having to use cliché ones to kill me." He tried getting up, still the sharp pain in his ankle wouldn't go away but he pushed through and stood slouching a little, "Because, and I'm being honest here. It might be working."

Big Man's maintained his twisted smirk. In a display of pride he gestured at Spider-Man to come at him. Looking at how understandably how weak Spidey looked.

But if there was one thing Flash learned, it was that 'It ain't over till it's over!' So, even if he felt like he was about to collapse on his own weight. He wasn't about to give up and lose without dignity. So with all his might, he swung at Big Man.

But, despite all of Flash's effort (and cliché motivational writing). He missed Big Man completely. Big Man found it almost amusing and laughed, "You're gonna have to better than that Spider-Man." He swiftly elbowed Spider-Man's back, sending him towards the wall of the Elevator Shaft.

Spider-Man however was too proud of himself to let himself lose. He rebounded himself mid air and quickly gripped onto the wall with his fingers. He turned back at Big Man and launched himself off the wall towards him.

But that would end up being his biggest mistake.

While yes he was in Big Man's path. His honest intention. Big Man got the last laugh by grappling Spider-Man and putting him in a headlock. His arm wrapped around Spider-Man's neck. Spider-Man was heard making stridor's and seen twitching his lenses. He tried to separate the arm but it was no use. He was too weak. This got Big Man lauhing. Laughing Maniacally in fact. Almost mirroring a laugh from a certain Goblin.

"My....My....My. This is how it ends for you? The great Spider-Man goes out like this. Well, I'll give you credit where it's due but, maybe at your funeral." Big Man then grabbed the top of Spider-Man's mask. "It's a shame really, we would've made a great and unstoppable team."

"I don't like where this is heading."

"But I guess before I commit your murder, I might as well see who the culprit behind the mask has been all along. Time to see who is Spider-Man."

Big Man began to lift the mask from the top, much to Flash's panic. Even if he was to beaten to show it. Everything was flashing before his eyes. It just wasn't as simple as him dying with his identity being revealed to the public. If the mask comes off then everyone he'll love will be targeted by the worst of the worst. Everyone from his Mother to Sunset or even his best friends Micro Chips and Sandalwood.

Big Man had been anticipating for this moment since he'd receive the news of Spider-Man taking Electro down. "Yes, YES! IT'S TIME TO FINALLY SEE THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK!" Big Man ended up revealing Spider-Man's actual mouth.

But that would be as far as he got.

*CHOMP!*

Big Man's eyes widened, he removed his arm off of Spider-Man and let out a scream. He rolled his sleeve up to see a bite mark from Spider-Man.

Spider-Man however wasted no time. He quickly rushed Big Man with everything he got. Letting out a cry, it caught Big Man's attention but by the time he looked up it was already too late. Spider-Man elbowed Big Man square in the face as hard as he could!

This sent Big Man back and into the abyss of the Elevator Shaft. This was when Spider-Man finally took a breath and re-adjusted his mask. He panted for a moment but then immediately stopped. Realizing that he just sent Big Man down an elevator shaft.

He got up quickly, but as he did so, he heard a crashing sound down below. For a moment there, Spider-Man was almost confused of what he could've crashed into as he though it was just a pit down below. Then, he realized that there were two other Elevator Cars in the shaft.

His lenses widened. Looking down, he realized that both the public elevators were deadest at the bottom and had no doubt Big Man crashed right through one of them. His teeth grit, even though he hated Big Man's gut, he had to bear the responsibility of a hero and actually make sure he was okay.

He looked to the far wall of the shaft and quickly jumped for it.

…….

ISSUE #6 CHAPTER 8: Watch Your Back

Spider-Man crawled down the walls of the wide Elevator shaft until he saw a hole at the top of the middle Elevator Car. His eyes narrowed. "Looks like this is it." He landed at the third elevator car which had some small bits of debris on top.

Spider-Man knelt down and took a deep breath for the moment of truth. He looked into the hole and in doing so, something immediately caught his eye. It looked to be a mask. Spider-Man's eyes slowly widened as he stared at it. The mask had an iron like coloured skin and a blue fedora on top.

"A MASK?! Than that means." He continue to search the elevator car and saw what appeared to be Big Man sitting against the wall with his head lowered, but instead he saw top of his head, nothing but jet black hair. Spider-Man's right lens squinted.

"Uhhh…..Wakey, Wakey?"

There was silence for a moment, Spider-Man actually thought that Big Man was dead. That was until he heard Big Man cough.

"I-If I have to hear your voice one more time I swear to god!"

Spider-Man gasped. The voice he heard was a complete 180 from what he heard during the entire fight. Instead of a nonchalant monotone voice. It was more of a western accented voice that sounded more rough. But that wasn't what shocked him, it was the fact that he recognized the voice.

How could he not, he saved him during Goblin's Canterlot Tower Attack.

"N-No, It Can't be." The head of Big Man jerked up. The mask he'd been wearing the whole fight revealed a man with tank skin, brown bushy eyebrows and a mullet with a receding hairline. Spider-Man quivered at the sight of bruised Filthy Rich. "N-No this has to be a fluke, the Big Man is you!?"

Filthy Rich growled at Spider-Man and sarcastically congratulated him, "Hoowee! Why don't we give ya a medal for cryin' out loud huh?"

Spider-Man's teeth gritted, "B-But I don't understand. Your one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the whole country, why would you be a Crime lord of all things."

"Uhhh…..Wakey, Wakey?"

There was silence for a moment, Spider-Man actually thought that Big Man was dead. That was until he heard Big Man cough.

"I-If I have to hear your voice one more time I swear to god!"

How could he not, he saved him during Goblin's Canterlot Tower Attack.

Filthy Rich growled at Spider-Man and sarcastically congratulated him, "Hoowee! Why don't we give ya a medal for cryin' out loud huh?"

Spider-Man's teeth gritted, "B-But I don't understand. Your one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the whole country, why would you be a Crime lord of all things."

"Oh you can't be serious Spider-Man." Big Man scowled, "How do you think I even got all my money to start up huge companies or buy successful stocks. It isn't no family fortune I'll tell you that. My whole family has been in the organized crime business for years. But it was me who truly came into it and become the most successful."

Then it hit Spider-Man. Remembering everything from the Green Goblin Incident, he realized that he was right all along. "I don't believe it. If Goblin attacked you and targeted Mayor Fisk, than that means."

"We're Crime lords. Wow they should cast you to be the next Sherlock Holmes. Who knows maybe you could hit it big."

Spider-Man leaped inside the Elevator Car and walked directly towards Filthy Rich. Grabbing him by the collar and lifting him up. "DO YOU THINK THIS IS SOME SORT OF GAME! YOU'VE PUT YOUR OWN CITY IN DANGER AND FOR ALL WE KNOW PROBABLY HAVE NO REMORSE FOR IT! ALL FOR WHAT HUH?! TO MAKE YOURSELF FEARED AMONG EVERYONE!?"

Big Man grit his teeth, "There's more to a story than it's cover you know. Everything, Everything I've done is for one thing and that is my family. I do it so they can live comfortably and not have to worry at all about financial issues."

"That doesn't excuse anything!" Spider-Man bellowed, "What's next. You're gonna tell me that you left bribes for Mayor Fisk to win so you two could gain strict authorized access into our cities.....well WHATEVER you get the point!"

"No really I don't. And besides, I couldn't care less about Wilson Fisk. The only reason I joined him was to cover him up and do his dirty work. And when I finally had enough I decided to hell with it! I killed one of him most valued allies and now, now were at war."

"Anything else you'd like to spill?" Spider-Man scoffed, "Or do you want to save the rest for the police?"

Big Man laughed. But then he coughed a little, partly due to the injuries he's sustained, "Y-You know what I just have one tiny warning for you..." He trailed off and chuckled a little, "J-Just know, Wilson Fisk isn't the only one you should be worried about. He has a new sidekick by his side now."

"Alright, tell me his name and I'll go do exactly what I did to you."

"Y-You're funny, but the problem is, he goes by many names. He's more stronger than I could ever be."

"Spill it!"

"H-His name is L. He'll become the second most powerful criminal in Canterlot with me now out of the picture. He was my replacement as the second to Fisk. But now, he'll be replacing me as the Big Man of crime." He laughed maniacally, wheezing like an elderly man. "You better watch you back Spider-Man. Things are going to get tougher from here."

Spider-Man's was emotionless. His eyes were just narrowed on Filthy Rich. He wasn't so much threatened by any of what he said. He reached into suit and pulled out his phone, dialling 911 while continuously staring at Filthy Rich.

"Hello Operator. Refer to me as Anonymous."

A police cruiser with only one officer in it. We all knew him. He was referred to as Officer Hothoof while on the job. As the car pulled up to Sherman's Tower his eyes widened. What he saw was Filthy Rich wrapped in a cocoon of webbing while hanging on a street light.

He got out of his car. He ran up to another officer and questioned him. "What happened here?"

The Officer glanced at him and smiled, "I think he'd explain it better than me." He handed him a paper note, "It was left there with the criminal, and it was surprisingly addressed to you." He glanced away and headed to another officer.

Officer Hothoof arched an eyebrow. Looking at the note and began reading it.

Officer Hothoof and or Officer
Windy Whistles

This one is a bit of a special case. I can't
give you the full details as I don't know th-
at much about him myself. But let's just s-
ay that he's been responsible for some of
the "serious threats" over the past few m-
onths.

BT Dubs, you might want to get some people
to check out the elevator

Yours Truly....
Spider-Man

Officer Hothoof's mouth opened but no sound came out of his mouth. He turned around and looked up in the distance. He could make out the figure of Spider-Man squatted down on top of a building and watching over him.

Spider-Man noticed him instantly, and from up above he saluted Officer Hothoof. Officer Hothoof chuckled and exchanged a salute with him.

He watched as Spider-Man rose to his feet and swung away. He smiled, "That crazy son of a gun."

Spider-Man didn't go home however. Instead, he swung right near Fisk Towers. Where The Mayor operated sometimes. He landed on top of a building that overlooked Fisk towers. The building was lit up and it seem any damages from the Enforcers incident was erased from the building.

Spider-Man however could care less about that. Instead, he looked at the building with a bit of hatred and suspicion.

Flash took his mask off. Clear scratches and some bruises were prominent on his face. His mouth had been bleeding during the fight. The only remanences of that was a tickle of dry blood coming that had came out of his mouth.

All this time, all this time The Green Goblin had been right about Wilson Fisk. But there was no way no one would believe him. Not even Sunset. But along with that there's another Crime Lord far superior to Big Man. And all's Flash had to go off was the name 'L' and he was to become the new Big Man of Crime.

That's all he could get out of Filthy Rich. No more, No less.

Nevertheless, things were gonna be different. Quite possibly more dangerous.

"I'm keeping my eye on you Fisk!" Spider-Man put his mask back on and gave the building one final glance before swinging off and finally ending the rollercoaster of a day he'd been having.

ISSUE #6 CHAPTER 9: Acension

Mayor Fisk. Speaking of Mayor Fisk, he was having a rather relaxing night. He sat in one of the most finest couch he could 'find' whilst watching a romantic comedy with his wife in his huge home on his own private land.

In layman's term, Wilson Fisk was sitting on a couch that he had one of his men kill a guy for while watching a romance movie with his wife. A slender woman with long brown hair . She wore some of the most extravagant clothing. A very, very expensive magenta dress. Vanessa Fisk as she otherwise was known as

"I'm so glad weould finally find some time to spend with me love." said Vanessa, snuggled next to Wilson Fisk. "Richard has been driving me crazy!"

"The pleasure is all mine." Wilson acted very nonchalant, but in his head he wanted to get out of watching the retched film in front of him. Not that it was bad but it was so boring to him. "Come on, Come on! Why wont this film end already. I swear this guy is such a joke and this lady keeps crying for no reason. Ugh! If I could meet these actors I'd just so much as kill hi--"

*Ring Ring, Ring Ring*

The phone began to ring, stopping Mayor Fisk's train of thought. But there was a plus to it, getting out of the horrible movie in front of him.

"Who could that be at this time?" asked Vanessa.

"I'll get it. You just stay here and sit tight." Wilson Fisk got off the couch. Getting up it was clear that he was freakishly tall even in his own home. Not to mention he was a giant. To Vanessa and everyone else, he was a Giant with a heart of gold. To the underworld, he was the most sadistically evil mastermind to walk the earth.

Fisk walked in the other room and picked up the phone. He greeted the person on the other line with a warm friendly expression.

"Hello, this is Fisk residence. How may I help you?"

"Mr. Kingpin, It's me Harron. I have some urgent news."

Kingpin's smile faded away and his eyes narrowed. His friendly tone was more grim and serious, "What is it now?"

"Y-Yes sir Uh, We've just been given word that Mr. Rich's faction has been taken down and that Mr. Rich has been placed under Police custody."

Kingpin's eyes widened. "What? How? He may be a crooked bastard but he's been undetected for years. How did it happen?"

"According to multiple reports. Spider-Man is held responsible for it."

Kingpin's eyebrows furrowed almost immediately. Before he hadn't really cared all that much about Spider-Man as he didn't really bother him. But he knew Filthy Rich and had no doubt that he told him about their ties. "Well my young friend. It seems that Spider-Man may be more of a bigger threat than I thought."

"Then, what will we do? Should we keep an eye on Filthy Rich?"

"I wouldn't think so. Even though we don't associate with him. He wouldn't dare break his oath, especially not if he's and probably will end up in the Big House."

"And His base of operation?"

"I'll take care of it. Right now you need to go inform Lonnie of the new developments. And tell him that he might need to keep an eye on Spider-Man."

"Yes sir, of course. Anything else?"

Fisk thought for a moment. With Filthy Rich out of the picture, than that means his associates would be without a job and they'd probably be everywhere. But, now knowing Spider-Man posed as a threat. He thought that Lonnie Thompson Lincoln could use the extra fire power.

"Get me Mr. Breaker's number. I'd like to offer him a proposition."

Canterlot Casino. One of the most recognizable buildings in Canterlot City. But it wasn't just known as a place where you could win big and lose everything. It was ran by a philanthropist. A Hulky man with steel coloured skin and no hair pigmentation.

He wore a black suit with a silver tie and pale blue dress shirt. He was known in the Criminal Underworld for being Big Man's opposite. He went by a few names.

Lonnie Thompson Lincoln

"L" Thompson Lincoln

But his favorite was Tombstone.

He owned the whole Casino and used it to his advantage and made the public think he was an ordinary philanthropist with no dark secrets. Of course, similar to how Filthy Rich did it.

He too used it as his place of operation. However, he didn't use the hidden elevator tactic Big Man did as he thought it was just a waste of money. Instead, his men would just come into the building wearing ordinary Casino wear to dilute ant suspicion.

He sat at his office. The top floor of the Casino and where no one but Tombstone's men and Kingpin only had authorization to be in. The office was well lit and had many expensive pieces of furniture and weaponry hanging from the walls.

His feet were placed right on top of the desk. He was watching the news on his laptop and had a smirk across his face. Everything. He read the headline and kept his best not to crack up.

"Canterlot Entrepreneur Filthy Rich Under Arrest for Organizing Criminal Activity."

But then,

*Ring Ring, Ring Ring*"

The phone on his desk began to ring. He knew almost instantly what it was gonna be about. But he answered it anyway.

"Harron."

"Mr. Lincoln, I got some news."

Tombstone chuckled a little, "No need Harron. I know. Big Man is no more."

"Oh. Um well, Big Man also wanted me to inform you about Spider-Man."

"Figures. Go on."

"He says he wants you to keep an eye on him. He thinks he might pose as a big threat to both him and you."

"Tell Kingpin I'll be sure to keep the tabs on him. But for now, I'm gonna wait and see." He hung up on the phone. Getting up from his chair, he walked over to the window next to him and that overlooked the city. He found his smirk to get only wider.

"Well Rich. It seems there's a new Big Man of Crime. And his Name is Tombstone."

FLASH SENTRY THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN ISSUE #7: VULTURE Written By: SpideyFlash CHAPTER 1: A New School Year.

"Aw...This... is it." Flash beamed, "Equestria State University!"

Flash, Sunset, Soarin, Rainbow Dash and Twilight all walked on the huge school campus. A change of scenery for all of them as this was their first year in University. They were all pretty stoked. Well, mostly every one.

"Well at least all of you are enthusiastic." Twilight huffed, "I mean it's not like this will be any sort of area which drains your living sanity due to the piles and piles of work they'll give out every single day."

Flash raised both of his eyebrows and turned to Sunset. She merely chuckled and glanced at Flash, "Welp, that's Twi for you."

"Well, you guys can speak for yourself." Rainbow Dash scoffed, "Cuz, me and this big dingus are about to have the best four years ever!"

"Well actually two years!" Soarin corrected, "Cuz once I'm 20, I'm heading straight for the pros! Draft Night, Agents, Sponsors. Baby I'll be rolling in all that!"

Both Flash and Sunset glanced at each other. Both chuckling at the display of enthusiasm of their two athlete friends. Flash shrugged and whispered into Sunset's ear. "I mean what did you honestly expect from these two?"

She responded back, leaning closer to his ear. "Well If I said proper and nonchalant behavior, I'd be lying."

Flash, in 'Flash' manner. Gave Sunset a sarcastic gesture of disappointment. Folding his arms with a smug look to his face. Then, shaking his head and kissing his teeth. In-turn, the act earned him a 'Sunset' jab to his arm. Flash gave Sunset a dorky smile, shrugging.

He then changed the subject. Glancing at Twilight. "So, weren't we supposed to meet Timber or something?"

Twilight glanced back at Flash and nodded. "Yeah." She looked around. "But so far, I haven't gotten a glimpse of him. He might be running late."

Meanwhile, Soarin's eyes widened at the fact. He glanced at Flash. "Wait?! That 'Boy Scout' goes here!? Oh you gotta be kidding me." Rainbow Dash gave Soarin a blunt look. Raising her foot, she stepped on his. Causing him to yelp an "Ow" and prompting him to exchange a glare at her. "Come on?! Why?"

"Figure that one for yourself." Rainbow Dash replied.

The latter kind of laughed at Soarin's expenses. Soon, Flash responded to Soarin's initial 'question'. "And uh yeah. He does go here. I thought we established that?"

"Well you probably 'established' that while I was away or something. If I knew that then I'd probably would've went to Miami or-or heck maybe even LA or something." Rainbow Dash again gave Soarin the same blunt look again. Raising her foot. Soarin's eyes widened and he quickly justified himself. "Uh--But of course I'd never, never leave ESU. This place rocks over all the other schools!" He gave her a panicked smile. Causing her to sigh and pinch the temples of her nose.

And finally, Timber made his appearance. Coming up behind Twilight and wrapping his arms around her. "What's up Freshmen!"

Twilight's lips formed a smug smile. She placed her hand on Timber's. "Nothing much Sophomore. In fact, we were just looking for you."

"I'm flattered." He gave Twilight a quick peck on the cheek. Then, he glanced at Soarin. Smirking. "Well, well. I honestly didn't think you'd show up to 'my house'."

Soarin gave Timber a confused look. "Your House?"

"Yup. Honestly I thought that you'd head off for a place like Miami or LA if you'd known I was here. But you didn't. That's real nice of you Air Cadet."

"WHA--!?" Soarin glared at Timber and accused him. "You heard me say that, didn't you?!"

"Maybe." Timber shrugged. "Or Maybe I just know my best friend so well....'

"I--YOU!??" Soarin let out a groan of annoyance and folded his arms. "Alright you win this round."

Timber chuckled. Then, he glanced over to Flash. The only other male of the group. "So Flash, since you're the only guy I can have conversation with. Without Twilight wounding me afterwards...." He looked back at Twilight and gave her a smug smirk. She merely rolled her eyes and shook her head. Timber glanced back at Flash. "You pretty HYPED to be in 'My House'!"

"That's gonna be a recurring thing. Isn't it?" Timber nodded. Flash chuckled and decided to just join in with the vibe. Acting all hyped. "Well then....HELL YEAH MAN! I'M SO HYPED! AW DUDE-DUDE! I'M SO HYPED!"

"AYY DAS MY GUY!" They both began to dab each other up. Meanwhile, Twilight and Sunset both exchanged giggles looks at one and other due to the sheer dorkiness their boyfriends were displaying.

When it was all said and done. Sunset leaned closer to Flash and commented about what she'd just witnessed. "I swear it was like you two were destined to meet and just...just be the best dorks that no one ever was."

Flash put his arm around Sunset's shoulder. "You know, you and Twilight are something of a work of art yourselves. Madame Dorkee"

Sunset chuckled. Crossing her arms and shrugging. "Touché Monsieur Dorké."

The group continued walking on campus for a while. All of them mostly having casual conversations. That was until, Flash's Spider-Senses went off.

"What now?"

He stopped walking for a moment. In-turn confusing Sunset. She looked at him, seeing the on guard expression in his face. "What is it?"

"I just had a bad feeling go down my--WOAH!"

Curly Winds put Flash into a headlock and began grinding his knuckles on top of Flash's head. In other words, the usual custom. "SENTRY! LONG TIME NO SEE!" Naturally. Everyone began to laugh at Flash's expense.

Flash eventually, broke free of the headlock. Panting. Looking at Curly Winds. "WHY!?"

"This is the mutual understanding." Curly Winds replied. "Come on Sentry, I'm only here for the year. After that it's off to the Pros! Draft Night, Agents. Sponsorship deals. I'll be rolling in all of that!"

Soarin, who'd previously utter those exact words. "AY MY GUY WAS GOOD!?" Just like Flash and Timber earlier. The two dabbed each other up as most bros do.

But Curly Winds wasn't alone. Along with him came another Canterlot High student. He was a little shorter than most of the group. He had a brown bowl cut and wore a collared shirt and jeans. This was Wiz Kid. Curly Winds boyfriend.

Flash greeted Curly Winds's boyfriend. Raising his hand up. "Hey Wiz. Probably obvious but uh, what brings you to ESU?"

"Funny." Wiz Nodded. "I just came along to be a student. Do some work. You know the usual."

"Oh Alright. Seems pretty casual." The two exchanged a handshake. "Though I thought you wanted to commit to CTech."

"Well I did." He then gestured at Curly Winds. "But this lug kinda convinced me to come and join him at ESU."

Flash glanced at Curly Winds who merely just shrugged. Wallowing a little in his pride "Well what can I say. I'm a bit of a sweet talker."

Flash arched an eyebrow. Not really knowing on how he could exactly respond to that statement. So he just let out a sigh. Going on with his usual day. "Right...."

Curly Winds, out of Habit. Put his arms around both Flash and Soarin. Giggling as he spoke. "So what classes do you losers have?"

With that, the two of them gave him drastically different answers.

"Creative-Writing."

"Bio-Chemistry."

The two friends both widened their eyes. With Flash glancing at Soarin. "Wait you actually chose creative writing. I thought you were joking about it."

"Well.....I mean let's be real. I'm here more or less to play Soccer. But at the same time, I kinda wanted to see what writing would be like. So you know.." He flailed his arms around before finally shrugging. Not giving Flash very much context. Well more then he had already given. Prompting him to an arch an eyebrow. In-turn, prompting Soarin to follow up. "Well you....didn't take Creative Writing. Honestly you don't know what you're missing out on. I mean who takes Bio-Chem?!" In an instance. Flash, Sunset, Twilight and Timber all had raised their hands up to that. "Wait you?!" Soarin glanced at Timber, pretty baffled to the scene. "I didn't even know you head could store that kind of info."

Timber shrugged. "Well when you live under Gloriosa's roof. She tends to be really serious about studying. That and I'm a Camp Counselor. I could use the extra knowledge. And that being said...." He inhaled. "Thou has no actual space of communicating to me in such a rude manner as thou does not have the adequate capacity in thou's head to research and acquire the skills of writing a literate piece."

Soarin again, arched an eyebrow to that. Not even knowing where to begin with that. "What?"

Timber chuckled. Patting him on the back. "Good luck with Creative-Writing."

Soarin glared at him for that. "Oh shut the f-OW!" Rainbow Dash again proceeded to step on Soarin's foot. Making him yelp. Before he glanced at her. "What?!"

However, Rainbow Dash was unspoken. Merely giving him the disapproving glare she'd given him in the past. Letting out a sigh.

Soarin then glanced at Sunset. Knowing Flash and Twilight chose it because of their upbringing. "So what about you?"

Sunset shrugged. "Well to be completely honest it's the only class we have together as a group. Other than that, I got an Advanced Quantum Physics with Flash and an Analytical chemistry class with her. So you know.." She shrugged.

Soarin let out an annoyed groan. "Man why am I the only one in this bitch to take creative writing!"

ISSUE #7 CHAPTER 2

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

ISSUE #5 CHAPTER 1: The Failed Attempt

FLASH SENTRY THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN ISSUE #5: TRIPLE THREAT! Written By: SpideyFlash

It was just an average morning in Canterlot City, actually average is a bit of a rarity in the city of Canterlot. You see, everyday something new is always happening in the grand city, festivals, professinal sports games, celebrity visits, you name it and it would most likely be there!

But that isn't to say that everything is all rosy and safe in Canterlot all the time, as you may already know. Almost everyday, there's always a new crime taking place, and almost every so often, an even bigger threat unleashes their deadly wrath onto the otherwise nice and innocent city.

*RING RING RING RING!*

The sound of a bank security protocol going off, signalling to the police a robbery has taken place and well, it did. A robbery did take place but, it wasn't by any ordinary criminal. Well actually 'criminals' would be the correct term to use in this situation.

Inside the bank, three supercriminals were acting out a heist at a bank! Holding everyone hostage, threatening to kill a person who tries to be brave.

"Alright y'all! Just stay put and you'll be able to make it out of here in one piece!" Jackson Brice! The Texas native Codenamed Montana and under the new alias, 'Shocker!' He wears a red and gold super suit, allowing him to shoot shockwave and vibration blasts through the gauntlets on his wrist! The ring leader of the group.

"OX! You mind breakin' through the doors?" Coming from Los Angeles, Daniel Brito! Codenamed Fancy Dan and under the new alias 'Ricochet!' A master in mixed martial arts, he wears a specialized armor in red and grey, allowing him to bounce off of any solid surface.

"WITH PLEASURE!" and finally, Raymond Bloch! Codenamed Ox and under the new alias OX! The 'for life New yorker' as he likes to call himself is the brawns of the team. Given specialized armor with a similar colour scheme to Ricochet, he possesses enhanced strength, more than Rhino ever had, even being given reinforcements if he got tired!

These three supercriminals formed the deadly trio known as the enforcers! A criminal team working under none other than The Big Man, one of Canterlot's most powerful crime lord! All wearing duffle bags over their shoulders.

OX grimaced behind his mask, displaying mainly his health statistics like his endurance level. He raised his foot to the door and kicking the door off it's hinges with virtually no effort. "Alright! we're in! Let's get what we came for and scram!" said Ricochet.

Shocker, Ricochet and OX all made their way through the door, directly leading to the vault, with Shocker pointing his two gauntlets at everyone, making sure no one tries to be a wise ass and do something heroic. Of course he knew that they'd all probably run out the bank and contact more police officers, but there was no harm in making sure they're operation wasn't disturbed.

"Thank you all for yer cooperation!" He picked up the pace with his two partners and walked through the doorway.

The three all gazed at the vault door, a circular entrance with a dial. No doubt there was a combination to open the vault and get into the room where all the precious metals and cash were stored. Everything they needed was all stored in that vault room.

OX pounded his fist into his palm, "I'll take care of--"

"No!" Shocker raised his arm, signalling OX to stop, "I got this one!" Shocker raised two of his arms and pointed them at the vault door. The two gauntlets on his wrists began to glow a teal color with small sparks of electricity crackling. Shocker cracked his neck, leaning it one way and then to the other.

And then....

*BoOMMm!*

Shocker let out a violent blast of shockwave energy! The thought to be, strong steel vault door was blown into bits by a deadly shockwave blast!

Ricochet glanced at Shocker, "Uh Mo? Don't you think it's a bit of a jackass move to just blow up the door? You know with the gold and shit.." He trailed off and shrugged.

Shocker shrugged, "Eh what can I say? Back in that there high school I went to, they'd call me Jackass Brice!" Shocker was a bit of a cocky person but was proud of it, even going back to his middle and high school days. "But enough pish posh, let's get what we came for and get out of here!"

The three walked through what was left of the vault lock, making their way into the actual vault itself. It was filled with stacks of paper bills, gold bars, iron bars. It was a criminals dream and heist man's paradise. The room glowed because of how much gold was stored there.

"Ox, you take the metal while me and Dan over here will take the paper loot!" Shocker ordered, "No doubt Big Man might want a cut of the earnin's!" OX went one way to collect the gold bars while Shocker and Ricochet went to go get the cash.

***

Only a 15 minutes later did the three emerge from the Vault room, their duffle bags filled to the brim with cash and gold, collecting their sum of loot from the huge 'deposit' they would so on so make from the bank. "Alright, let's get back to Sherman's tower and report to Big Man!" said Ricochet.

The three emerged from the doorway in which they'd destroy only a few minutes ago. They were met with police officers and SWAT officers pointing guns at them, taking cover hiding behind anything they could find. The Capitan of the police force, Capitan Kurt Marshall, speaking from a megaphone.

##"OKAYY!"## His voice echoed through the room loudly, ##"IF YOU PUT THE STOLEN ITEMS DOWN AND COOPERATE WITH US YOUR PUNISHMENT WON'T BE AS SEVERE!##....

Ricochet rolled his eyes, he'd heard this one far too many times, "Bitch please! If I'd heard a nickel for every time I'd hear that one I'd be rolling in them!" That signalled the other two to back off as Ricochet decided he would take it from here.

Ricochet took a deep breath and leaped in the air, curling into a ball in midair. The Police officers were signalled to shoot but, they couldn't hit him, he was just too fast. Ricochet was gonna hit the ground level and the officers thought they'd have a chance, but they were wrong!

As soon as Ricochet hit the ground he immediately bounced into the wall and ricochet, hence his name. The officers were in disbelief, they'd never seen anything like Ricochet before, and they'd seen Sandman, Rhino and Electro unleash their wrath before.

Ricochet bounced off another wall and was barreling mid air, in the direction towards one of the officers. And then...

*WHAM!*

The curled up Ricochet collided into an officer's head, knocking him out! This was just the beginning of Ricochet's long chain of collisions towards officers. He hit one after another, after another, it was endless!

Eventually Ricochet hit every last cop that was in the bank, he and the rest of the group knew that there would be more on their way and they'd have to escape fast. "Okay, y'all!" Shocker opened the door, "Let's get movin' before they're so called reinforcements arrive!"

OX and Ricochet nodded, both of them bolting for the door with Shocker, completing another successful heist....

***

The Enforcers made their way back to Sherman's tower, the name of Big Man's business center, otherwise known as their base of operations. Though it acted like a business center at day, at night it usually was the place Big Man's men went for orders, including the Enforcers.

But it was just before opening hours of the center. For the people who worked their that meant they'd have to wait until the doors to the building actually open, but to the Enforcers that just meant Big Man was waiting for them in his office.

The three stood in Big Man's office, telling him about the operation.

Big Man tilted his head up, sitting in his chair and giving the three the quizzical look, "So, How'd it go?"

"It went flawlessly sir." Said Ricochet, "We got the cut you demanded and took out a lot of police officers." The three all handed their duffle bags to Big Man.

But Big Man was less than impressed, he wasn't very interested in what they'd actually get, he was interested about whether Spider-Man showed up or not, whether they'd squash him, "Let me guess, the bug didn't show?" he arched an eyebrow.

The three all looked to the floor. OX shook his head, "No sir! He didn't show."

Shocker let out a sigh, "We've tried everything Big Man! We've set a place on fire, cause a public disturbance, he just hasn't showed around."

Big Man's lip curled a little in disappointment, "Either the bastard is out of town or he's just waiting for the right time to strike!"

"Are... you sure?" Ricochet arched an eyebrow, "I mean he could be dead or somethin? I mean the odds aren't that much against him."

"Believe me, I trusted those two peanuts Sandman and Rhino but they couldn't get the job done, we have to be patient wait for him to act first not us, clearly the approach we've taken for the past week hasn't done us any good." The three were confused, the big question on their minds was how would they know when Spider-Man was gonna show around, but they were given orders about the different approach they'd take, "The three of you! Try something one more time, wait until Spider-Man shows around and rush him! There'd be no way he could survive against the three of you!"

They all looked at each other, guessing they didn't really have any other option they shrugged and nodded, agreeing to Big Man's order to find and kill Spider-Man!

….

Author's Note

And that was The first chapter to Issue #5.

So if the title might've seem a bit alluding if you read the majority of the chapter, wondering how a succsesful heist could've been alluding, but later on it's revealed it was just another on of the Enforcers failed attempt to lure Spider-Man into their hands.

So the Enforcers overall, I decided to go with the Spectacular Spider-Man versions of them, really liking how they were potrayed in it, of course tweaking some parts about them, (I.E Using the comic names for Fancy Dan and Ox.)

So this is the second story where I there is no villian origin in the first chapter, doing it intentinally in Issue #4's epilougue (with the exception of issue #3 becuase Serpent's origin is revealed.)

So... I can't believe that it's almost December! I started this Fimfiction account in July and I honestly never thought I would keep going on it daily. It's really crazy to realize 3 months have almost past.

Tell me what you think in the comments and hey maybe even leave a like, I don't know!

ISSUE #6 CHAPTER 10: Rightfully your's/Revolutinairy

"Professor."

Professor Discord, who was working at his desk. Looked away from the computer he was staring at to see Flash standing at the doorway of the lab. Holding a bucket.

He smirked and nodded, "Sentry." He got up from his desk, "What brings you here tonight? I said you two didn't have any shifts this week."

"That's not why I'm here." Flash began walking over to a counter where he placed the bucket. "I wanted to bring you this."

"A Bucket?"

Flash chuckled, "Well, not exactly." Out of his pocket he pulled out a note, "See, this is that space substance from the Space Shuttle."

Discord's eyes widened. "The Alien Lifeform?! How did you retrieve it? It's been missing for days!"

"I didn't get it." said Flash, "Spider-Man did."

Discord's lip curled in confusion. Both his eyebrow and back arched. "Spider-Man?! Explain."

Flash handed the Professor the note, "Well, you see..... There was this thing that happened earlier tonight and The Bugle sent me to get pictures. I was getting pictures in a vacant spot so I could get better shots. As I was, Spider-Man approached me and handed me the bucket. Telling me to go here and to give it to you. When I asked what it was, he told me it was the 'Alien Goo' and told me to be cautious with it and to get it here."

Discord tilted his head up and stroked his chin, "I see. Maybe I've taken this Spider-Man character with a grain of salt."

Flash shrugged, "Well. He sure is a mystery, I'll say that much."

Discord let out a sigh. Getting out of his chair and walking over to the counter. Getting there, he faced Flash with a rather serious expression. "Sentry since you're here. I'm gonna show you something, but you have to keep it a secret from everyone. Including Sugarcoat."

Flash arched an eyebrow. "Why?"

"It's been something I've been working on for years now. More than twenty years to be exact."

"What about the Alien Sp--"

"Don't worry about that." Discord nonchalantly interjected, "Just, come with me." Both him and Flash started for his desk. Discord went on his computer, opening up a file. Specifically, a completed blue print. Showing it to Flash.

"Welp, this is it." said Discord, "My pride and joy. Tridium Project 6302004."

Flash stared at what he was looking at. Widening his eyes a little, "That's a fusion reactor."

"Indeed. So, I presume you know what they're main purpose is right?"

Flash nodded, "Yeah. They're idea in theory is to use heat from nuclear fusions to generate energy.

"Right again." Discord pointed out.

"Who else knows about this?" asked Flash

"There are only a few people that's seen this project. Connors, Breaker and the other person who helped me design the machine. Breaker's been funding this project since it was conceived. Making this whole thing easier."

Flash was intrigued by the blueprints of the machine. But it also prompted his confusion on why he was the one to be looking at it. "Professor. Why are you showing me this?"

A small smirk formed of the Professor face, "Surely you can figure it out. Just look at the bottom corner of this."

Flash arched an eyebrow. Looking exactly where Discord said to, he found two signatures. One was a one he'd never seen. But the other one, the other one he'd seen so many times before. His eyes widened a little more.

"Dad."

"Yes." Discord nodded, "Before your father left the university, he used to be my student and eventually my own protégé. When I had the idea of this reactor, he offered to lend me a hand and helped me design the machine." He got out of his chair and put his hand on Flash's shoulder. "Your father was one of the most brilliant person I'd ever work with. I'm sure that he'd be so proud to see his son work on the invention that he had a hand in creating."

Flash smiled and nodded, "Thank you." The two began walking towards the entrance to the lab. "So, what's gonna happen now with the alien gunk?"

"Well. One thing is for sure, we have to keep it in an even more secure space. So here and ESU are both out of the picture. Unless CircoVision plans on taking it to their laboratories. Me and Connors plan on transferring it to DC." He glanced at the bucket, "In a more, cleaner and securer way that is."

Flash chuckled a little and headed for the entrance, "Well I better get going. Have a good night Professor Discord."

Discord nodded and waved to Flash. After he left he turned all his attention to the note Flash had gave him, beginning to read it.

To whoever this matters to

This is substance. It's like a parasite.
It can take over anyone's body and
turn them into something dangerous.
You must take all precautions with it.
If it gets on somebody, they'll be taken
