Flash Sentry The Spectacular Spider-Man Issue #3: Welcome to Tokyo (REMASTERED)
Movie Nightmare
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was about Twelve at night in Tokyo. Flash had fully gotten settled in his room and had changed into fresh clothing. A White Air Jordan T-Shirt and black jogger pants.
He was with his two Aunts and his Cousin Firestar as they all were sitting together and watching the Dark Knight. A movie Flash found himself a bit more interested in than ever before. He remembered watching the movie when it premiered with his Aunts back in Canterlot but now that he was an actual super hero he felt he could somewhat relate to Batman.
"Wow! in all the years I've seen movies, who knew I'd connect to a billionaire philanthropist who dresses as a bat and stops crime in one of the most greatest pieces of fictional media."
As the movie progressed, it prompted Firestar to ask Flash something that had been on her mind, "So uh Flash." Flash glanced at her and nodded, "So uh, doesn't Canterlot have that Spider-Guy person or whatever?"
Flash's eyes widened, "Spider-Man? What about him?" He shot her a nervous smile. Meanwhile in his head, "How could she possibly know about Spider-Man? I cant be that well known globally can I?"
"Well what's his deal?" asked Firestar, "Like do you know where he came from and well maybe who he possibly is. I mean I heard you get pictures for him from uh.... uh what's that place called?"
Flash's eyes widened even more, he thought he could escape from Spider-Man for at least half of the summer, "Uh...The Daily Bugle?" Flash shrugged, "Well I mean.... yeah I get his pictures but I don't know the guy personally. The most we've ever talked was just me asking if I could get some pictures."
"Well, do you ever wonder who could be behind the mask."
"Wow...talk about Irony.", Flash smirked a little. He knew exactly who was behind the mask. He shrugged, "Well..... I guess I sometimes think about it. I don't really care to be honest, he lives his life the way he does and well.... a lot of people don't exactly view him as a good influence at times."
"Interesting." Firestar stroked her chin and glanced at her parents, "Hey Moms, what do you think of Spider-Man?" Both Spark and Thunderstar looked at each other and merely shrugged.
"Well, I don't know." Aunt Thunderstar shrugged, "I guess I see him as a creep crawling around town. Firing ropes and stuff out of his hands."
"I mean... he sounds like he's in it for a great cause. But I wouldn't count on it." said Aunt Spark.
Flash's shoulder's dropped. His eyes narrowed and his jaw dropped, WHAT?--Man first Mom thinks I'm a Criminal and now my Aunts." He turned his head at Firestar, "Well hopefully Firestar and Snowstorm can come in to the clutch for me."
"So what do you and Snowstorm think of Spider-Man?" asked Flash.
Firestar stroked her chin, "Well Personally... I'm just curious to know whether or not he's legit. Like if his powers are real or if he just uses complex gadgets. As for Snowstorm, I mean she's heard of Spider-Man and she likes the idea. But she's a kid so I'm not going to ruin in on her fun."
Flash discreetly pouted, "Man, even Batman has more fans than me! Lame! Well at least Snowstorm is on Spider-Man's side."
The sky was cloudy with an ominous dark blue. It couldn't be told if it was day or night, but nevertheless for Spider-Man it was in fact ominous, in fact the battle had already begun between him and The Green Goblin.
Spider-Man and The Green Goblin are both in the extravagant hotel known as the Canterlot Towers. Specifically the Banquet Room at the top of the building. The room is a mess, tables destroyed and scattered everywhere. The huge window was shattered and shards of glass all over the floor. Both of whom standing near the wall of glass.
Spider-Man swung at Goblin but ended up getting his arm grabbed by Goblin. His eyes widened, glancing up at Goblin he watched as he laughed manically. Goblin then headbutted Spider-Man, sending him into through the glass wall!
Spider-Man found himself falling and landing on top of a building. He rose to his feet and looked around, dazed at how he'd ended up at the top of a building. "What in the world--"
Than suddenly, he felt a shock of static hit him from behind. Spider-Man fell to his knees and grunted in pain. Looking back his eyes widened even more. His second nemesis, Electro! stood behind him with a twisted grin on his face and a charge of lighting sparking from his hands.
Spider-Man staggered to his feet, baffled, "Y-YOU! That's impossible..." Spider-Man gave Electro an accusing finger, "I DEFEATED YOU!"
"We all have dreams and wishes sometimes Spider-Man." Electro Scoffed.
Spider-Man's teeth gritted behind his mask in plain fury, "I BEAT YOU BEFORE, I CAN DO IT AGAIN!" He lunged towards Electro raising his fist up and diving towards him.
Electro's grin became wider. He raised his arms up and pointed them at Spider-Man clenching both his fists. Laughing menacingly he exempted violent charges of electricity towards Spider-Man.
Spider-Man's eyes squinted behind his mask as he grit his teeth in pain, "AUGHH!" He was sent to the ground, moaning in pain. Landing right near the edge of the building.
Spider-Man tried getting back, but he couldn't. Spider-Man couldn't get back up, it was like he was paralyzed from the neck down. "What's happening?! Why is my body completely frozen."
Suddenly he heard Electro laughing, walking towards him, but he couldn't see any of it. He felt him self be picked up by Electro, being held by his chest. Looking Spider-Man directly in his 'eyes' he found himself chuckling, "Look at Canterlot's so-called hero."
His chuckles became more apparent laughs as he tossed Spider-Man off the edge.
Spider-Man screamed as he began plummeting towards the ground. "NO, NO!" But there was nothing he could do, he was completely paralyzed. Powerless. "PLEASE I CANT GO OUT LIKE THIS!"
As Spider-Man's plummet was progressing, he began to hear the voices, the voices of his friends and family. All mocking him.
First it was Micro Chips, "So this is what you've hidden from us all along?!"
Than it was Sandalwood, "You're our so called hero?! what a joke man!"
Soarin, "Man, you're comeback was worst than you're beginning."
Flash was shaking his head, "NO, NO! NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!?"
Sunset, "Even at being a hero you still fall flat on your face!"
"NO!"
Spider-Man's plummet ended.
Flash's eyes shot open. Waking up abruptly, he sat up and began panting heavily. He looked around as his pants for breath slowed down. It seemed to be morning as the sun was out. His relatives were all asleep, His Aunt's were snuggled up next to each other while Firestar's head was rested on the edge of a couch cushion.
Flash lowered his head and put his hand on his forehead, "It was a dream. Thank God it was a dream."
Lifting his head, he checks the time on his phone, "Wow, 5:00?" He was baffled to say the least, "I haven't gotten up this early since Middle School."
That left Flash with a minimum amount of options. He could go back to sleep in his own 'room' for the time being. He could maybe take a quick shower in the bathroom, or he could just go on his phone and waste two hours of his time doing nothing of significant productivity. And that's exactly what he did.
He decided to check the news, something that he usually did in the mornings. "Okay let's see.... Stock Market....Stock Market...Gas Price--My god Gas Prices are really that high today?" Soon a notification came from a police radio scanner app, prompting him to swipe out of habit as he continued, "Hostage Situation at Mitsubishi bank ....Elon Musk's new--wait what?"
He quickly presses the home button and went into the app, "Hostage Situation in Progress at the Mitsubishi Bank of Japan?" He looked a bit interested at first but then, he shrugged. Trying playing it off, not really wanting to deal with that, "No, No! This is Vacation time! The Police can probably handle it.
Flash pressed the home button again and decided to go on a game. But as the game was loading, he felt his stress level go up more and more. Someone could get hurt or worse get killed. In other words, only after five seconds of discarding the matter, he couldn't help himself.
He facepalmed himself and swore under his breath, "God Dammit!" He looked at his relatives. He'd been in clutch situations before but this might take the cake, that is if he can pull off a successful sneak out, "I have time to spare, let's just hope I can make it back."
He got to his feet and started for the stairs in a hurry. However, trying to make as little noise as possible.
Author's Note
So this is the dream sequence, just like the original had only the fact that it's a different dream.
