Chapter 7 - The Heist Of The Century

Inside the room Marmalade had planned to kill Wolf, Diane, Tarantula and Spider-man, The Green Goblin and Spider-man were standing there, just staring at each other with no words spoken for a while. The Green Goblin wanted to give Spider-man some time to process the information that he knew his real identity, to make him understand the Green Goblin had the advantage in this situation.

Inside the mask of Spider-man, Angel couldn't understand how the Green Goblin found out about his true identity, it's not like he left clues about it. Maybe he went to his apartment and found his wrestling suit, but still, it was just a look-alike of his spider-man suit and also why would he go to his apartment anyway. It was confusing to him, but he was worried about what the Green Goblin would do now that he knew who he really was.

"Don't worry, I don't plan on sharing your identity with anyone." Green Goblin spoke up, "After all, you and I are not so different."

Spider-man chuckled from hearing that phrase, "I...never heard that one before."

Green Goblin moved his eye lens up, letting Spider-man see his real eyes under the mask, the eyes of a human, "We're both human gifted with extraordinary powers. But under these masks of ours, we're just miserable, aren't we? We keep being taken advantage of by everything and everyone. Is it fair for everyone to look down on us, while we are clearly superior?"

"Using these powers for our own gains, it's not right." Spider-man stated.

"Don't start with that nonsense!" Green Goblin shouted, angrily waving his arm, "Altruism doesn't exist, every action we do, we expect a reward from it, and if you don't then maybe you're just crazy." The Green Goblin paused, waiting for Spider-man to bounce back from that, but he was met with silence. He continued, "Maybe you are? I know who you are, but yet I just can't find out why you continue like this, being the friendly neighborhood Spider that saves the city for free. You could be so much more, so why not use your powers at their full potential?"

"What would be the point? Being the public enemy number one, it doesn't sound appealing. But helping people? Giving them this push, this hope, that no matter the situation they're in, there will be someone that can help them. That's what I do." Spider-man said, still not convinced of Goblin's words. Then Spider-man waved his finger up, "I mean, let's change our roles. Why don't you join me? We're not so different. So, help me help people, you'll see, it will feel good."

"I tried it many times. But I don't see the appeal that one mistake ruins everything." The Green Goblin turned down the offer without hesitation, "Look at the people of this city, they found you amusing for a while, and now they despise you. In spite of everything you've done for them, they hate you. People are easy to fool when you give them something to hate, true or not, they don't care as it gives them a sense of superiority, because the one thing these people love more than a hero...is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. Why bother?"

Spider-man looked to the side, without words, he admitted Green Goblin was right, after many years of service the people just hate him, because of a bunch of lies made by Marmalade. But still, no way he would join the Green Goblin, he was a murderer trying to convince him to join his messed up ideals, maybe he was saying some truth, but under that truth lied someone who just wanted to use that truth as an excuse to give him right.

Spider-man looked back at the Green Goblin, "Like I told you, I'm doing what's right for the people, not for me. Maybe they don't understand or don't want to, but that doesn't mean I have to stop what I do."

"Unlike them, I'm trying to offer you a hand. You don't deserve a life like this, everyone looking down on you, having to live in a pitiful apartment, a freelance job, and on top of all doing right to a bunch of people that will only give you wrong at every turn." The Green Goblin was trying to personally appeal to Angel, "Imagine what we could accomplish together, living our lives to our deserved full potential, or we could destroy them. Cause the deaths of countless innocents in selfish battles...again and again and again until we're both dead. Is that what you want?"

"You want to know why I live like this?" Spider-man asked The Green Goblin, answering his question himself, "Because I don't believe in murder."

The Green Goblin understood there might be no way to convince Spider-man, even after trying to make it personal, he put his hands to his back as if he was just joining them in his back, but in his right hand, he hid a pumpkin bomb, "So, you're out?" The Green Goblin gave Spider-man one last chance to join him.

"It's you who's out, Gobby. Out of your mind." Spider-man told the Green Goblin.

The Green Goblin laughed at Spider-man refusing his offer, he tilted his head a bit up as his yellow eyes lens came back on, "You're crazy." The Green Goblin said, activating the pumpkin bomb and then throwing the bomb towards Spider-man.

Going off Goblin's hand, the orange metal sheet pelled off the bomb as five sharp razor blades flew towards Spider-man.

"Oh, great." Spider-man muttered to himself, seeing the razor blades flying rapidly towards him.

He quickly crouched down, dodging the first two razor blades, he saw two more razor blades coming at his direction, so he jumped up, extending his legs to the sides as best as he could and then he lowered his head mid jump to avoid the last razor blade hitting his face, he landed on the ground having dodged all the razor blades.

Green Goblin waited for the moment that he landed to punch Spider-man in the face, he tried to fight back but the Green Goblin gave him another punch in his face, he backed away from the force of the punch then his spider-sense tingle, the razor blades were coming back to his direction, right in his back. He leaned his back forward as the Green Goblin moved to the side, avoiding the two razor blades.

Still leaning forward, the Green Goblin slammed his knee high up to Spider-man's face, forcing him to stand again, he went for another punch in the face, but this time Spider-man was able to block his punch, by putting his arm over Green Goblin's arm, he used his free hand to punch Green Goblin's mask, making him back away to the side, in a way the punch helped him avoid the two razor blades coming back.

With no time to dodge them, he put his arms in front of him at the right moment to destroy the two razor blades coming towards him without hurting himself, he was able to destroy both of them, but then a razor blade came flying from the back, flying right above his arm, ripping his suit a bit and making a deep but small cut in his arm.

He looked in front of him and saw the same razor blade coming back towards him, he leaned his back backwards, avoiding being cut more by the razor blade as it then flew towards the razor blade that was coming from the back, the two razor blades slammed together, breaking them apart. With all the razor blades destroyed, Spider-man could now focus on the Green Goblin.

He leaned forward, standing ready for combat as he looked at the Green Goblin, arm in front of him and in his hand a pumpkin bomb, it was safe to say it was another bomb that had the flying razor blades.

"Remind me to never play a fighting game with you." Spider-man told the Green Goblin.

He didn't answer Spider-man's one liner, and just threw the pumpkin bomb, the orange metal sheet of the bomb peeled off confirming Spider-man's doubts that more flying razor blades were coming.

At the same time, The Bad Guys and Diane were driving on the highway back to the city to deliver the meteorite. In the car, they were cheering from being able to take the meteorite without much trouble, the Bad Guys looked forward to giving the meteorite back, since it would help them clear their names and they would finally do something good.

"Now to get this thing to the chief and clear your names." Diane told them.

"Weird. Usually, we drive away from the police." Shark stated.

Piranha was looking to the roads ahead, perplexed at what he was seeing, "Hey, chico, are you sure we stopped the heist?" He asked Wolf, tapping on his arm a few times.

Wolf nodded, "Yeah."

"Relax." Diane told Piranha to not worry about it, and then explained, "Marmalade can't control them if he doesn't have the meteorite."

Piranha pointed forward, "So, who's driving those trucks?"

The others looked at the direction he was pointing at, seeing the charity trucks driving in the highway, getting a closer look at the trucks, they saw guinea pigs were driving those trucks.

Then they looked at the meteorite on the back of their car, "The meteorite." Diane said.

"It's still transmitting." Wolf added.

Shark went to look on top of the meteorite, "Uh-oh."

"The charity money." Wolf went back to focus on driving the car, he told the others, "Change of plan, guys. Webs, is there some way to override the truck's navigation system?"

Tarantula got out her laptop and started typing on it, "Uh, we'd need some kind of magnetized cross-circuit interceptor."

Diane got out the case she brought with her, opening it and taking out a round device with a large button, she showed it off to Tarantula, "You mean this?" She pressed on the button, lighting it up to an orange color.

"Ooh! She just keeps getting cooler!" Shark said, impressed with Diane's gadgets.

"Oh, yeah!" Wolf made a sudden detour, driving back to where the trucks were heading. Soon enough, he was able to catch up with them, driving right in the middle of all the trucks.

Diane leaned out of the car, carefully reaching out her arm to the closest truck, trying to put in the round device to it, the guinea pigs to their right noticed them, they hit the side of the truck against the side of the Bad Guys' car. From the shock, Diane let go of the round device, she tried to catch the device in the air but she wasn't able to catch it then it fell off, bouncing on the road as the car lost distance to it, Diane got back inside the car. The trucks started driving to different roads, trying to escape the Bad Guys.

Diane got her head off to the car's roof looking at the trucks taking all different directions, "Oh, no." She got back inside the car, "We got to split up." She grabbed her case and looked at Tarantula, "Webs, you feel like a girls' trip?"

Tarantula closed her laptop and nodded to Diane, accepting her offer, "Um, yes." Then Diane put on her mask and went up to the car's roof with Tarantula on her back, "Later, boys."

Diane jumped out of the car as she opened her case mid-air, it morphing into a white motorcycle, the motorcycle landed down to the road as Diane sat down on the motorcycle starting to drive it to the nearest trucks, Tarantula crawled up to the top of the handlebar.

Piranha looked at the girls driving away on the cool motorcycle, he leaned against the car's door sighing, "I want to go on the girls' trip."

Wolf drifted, changing to a road where the trucks were. While Diane was approaching the motorcycle to the trucks, Tarantula took out her laptop and started typing on it, preparing for the moment they would have the devices glued to every truck. Diane drove fast and threw one of the devices to a truck, landing on the side of the truck before she sped up and drove away from that truck to the next one.

Shark saw that Piranha had four round devices on his hands, he looked at Wolf, "You're insured, right?" He asked Wolf.

"Yeah. Why?" Wolf asked back, as with the confirmation Shark didn't hesitate to bring his arms up at full force to the car's roof, breaking the car's roof as it started bouncing down on the road, "Hey! That's my car!"

Shark grabbed the back collar of Piranha's shirt and held him high up, "It's ceviche, baby!" Piranha laughed as then Shark threw him far forward.

Piranha flew at a immense speed, being able to be faster than the trucks, he put two devices to the two trucks closest to Wolf's car, as he then soon landed down, but it didn't stop him, using his momentum Piranha started running, still keeping his immense speed, he was able to outrun another truck in which he put the device on.

Diane and Tarantula had caught up to the last truck of their side, Diane activated the round device ready to put it on the truck, but the guinea pigs saw them, turning the wheel to the right ready to hit the motorcycle, Diane quickly put Tarantula to her hand then she jumped out, her motorcycle started to morph back into a case, Diane landed her back on the case and went under the truck as it stirred to the barricade, Diane put the device to the car's pipe and then got out under the car through the left side, she jumped up as the the metal case morphed back into a motorcycle, Diane landed on it and started driving it far from the truck, and she put back Tarantula to the top of the handlebar. Tarantula just stood there thinking about what just happened, she didn't know how Diane did it, but it was awesome.

Piranha was running between two trucks, showing off his last device, the guinea pigs from both trucks coordinated themselves to collide the two trucks smashing Piranha in the middle of them. After some short seconds the two trucks separated as the guinea pigs looked in the middle of both trucks, seeing that Piranha wasn't there anymore. Suddenly, he landed on the car's hood, the guinea pigs looked in front of them, seeing Piranha licking the back of the round device and putting it on the truck's front window. He started laughing and jumped out of the truck at the same time Wolf's car sped past the truck, Piranha landed back on his seat.

Wolf looked back at the truck on their right, "So long, suckers." He threw the round device like flipping a coin as it landed on the truck's hood.

Tarantula saw the devices were glued to every truck, "Whoop-bam!" She said, as she tapped on the space-bar, starting the process of re-routing every truck that was now under their control.

All the devices faded from orange to red, as the GPS tracker from inside the trucks changed from an image of laughing Tarantulas with the subtext "you have been hacked!"

The trucks all stopped at the same time and started driving back to the addresses where the trucks were supposed to be driven before being stolen by guinea pigs.

Diane looked down at Tarantula, "Where'd you learn to do that?" She asked Tarantula.

"Well, I'm, you know, kind of a natural." Tarantula told Diane, then she shrugged, "Mostly YouTube."

Diane drove close to Wolf's car and gave Tarantula a boost with her paw to jump back up to the car.

"Nice work." Wolf told Diane.

Diane told them where to go next, "Meet me at the police station. Don't be late." Shen then started driving off to the plains, taking a shortcut to the police station..

Wolf looked at the others, "What do you say we deliver this butt rock to the chief?" Wolf asked them.

They agreed with him and started driving off towards the police station. The trucks had arrived at their original destinations, while parking in front of the schools and hospitals of the city the guinea pigs quickly got out of the trucks. Marmalade was on his helicopter, flew by Cuddles, he was looking down at the scene with Snake by his side.

He waved his arms around, angrily jumping up and down, "No, no, no, no! That's my stolen money." He turned his head to Snake, glaring at him, "What good are you if you can't even anticipate their next move?"

Snake pointed to himself with his tail, "Oh, so it's my fault?" He asked Marmalade.

"Yes." Marmalade quickly blamed Snake.

Snake rolled his eyes, "I'm sorry, where's your goblin buddy?"

"As you should know! He's fighting Spider-man!" Marmalade screamed at Snake. Then he turned his head away, looking down, "Spider-man..." He whispered to himself, realizing that Spider-man was too busy fighting the Green Goblin, meaning he wouldn't be here to save the day. Marmalade looked back at Snake with a twisted smile.

Diane had put back her formal suit she used as the Governor, she put the earphone to her ear as she called Spider-man, wanting to know if he was alright.

"Hey, Spider-man. Are you still there?" Diane asked Spider-man through the earphone.

Spider-man was hanging on a wall, "Still fighting the Goblin." He said, then he jumped out of the wall, avoiding a razor blade that flew towards him, which then slammed itself on the wall and shattered apart upon contact.

"Need backup?" Diane asked Spider-man.

"Nah, I'm fine." Spider-man refused the offer for help as he was web swinging around the room in circles, shooting web balls in his free wrist trying to immobilize the Green Goblin, "You know, he actually did a speech about me joining him."

"Did he?" Diane asked Spider-man.

Spider-man nodded, even though Diane couldn't see it, "He did."

"Wait, did he do the whole thing like "We're not so different?"" Diane supposed.

"Yep." Spider-man confirmed Diane's supposition, "What about you, guys?"

"We just need to deliver the meteorite and we're done." Diane told Spider-man they were nearly done in their part.

"That's great." Spider-man was relieved they were doing good, but then he saw razor blades behind him heading his way.

"Listen, if you need any help don't be shy to ask." Diane offered to help Spider-man.

Spider-man let go of the web string and landed down on the ground, avoiding the flying razor blades, "Me? Shy?"

"You never asked me for my phone number." Diane pointed out.

"I'm sorry, how do you want me to carry a phone in this suit-" Spider-man was about to point out in return, but the Green Goblin punched him in his face, Spider-man backed away and saw the Green Goblin approaching him ready to strike again, Spider-man webbed up a flying razor blade and threw it at the Green Goblin, he blocked it with his arm, and then he saw Spider-man webbing up to the ceiling, putting his hand and boots to it, "It seems like he's getting jealous that I'm talking to you, so I'll hang up for a bit."

"Alright, be safe." Diane told Spider-man.

"I can't promise that." Spider-man said, before hanging off.

Diane saw she was close to the police station, she jumped out of the motorcycle as it morphed back into a case, she grabbed it and put on her glasses, casually walking to the front of the police station where the Chief and Thierry Margoulin, reporter of BFC news, were at, "Chief." Diane greeted the Chief.

The Chief turned to Diane, "This better be good."

"Trust me, you don't want to miss this." Diane told the Chief, patting on her arm.

"Look." A random man pointed far out, they all looked at where he pointed, but saw nothing out of the ordinary, they looked back at the man as he was laughing, "Ha! Gotcha! There's nothing." He waved at them, "See ya." He then started walking away, proud of himself.

The Chief bared her teeth and started following the man, but Diane stopped her, not wanting the Chief to deal with someone not worth their time.

The Chief pointed to the man, "But he lied, that's illegal."

Diane just patted the Chief's back, telling the Chief to not worry about it.

Then Thierry Margoulin gasped and pointed far out, "Look."

They looked to where he pointed and there was something out of the ordinary this time. The Bad Guys were delivering the meteorite back.

The Chief put her hand on her hat, "Well, butter my crumpets." She was surprised to see the Bad Guys do something good.

Thierry Margoulin looked at the camera filming the scene, "Unbelievably Unbelievable. The Bad Guys are returning the meteorite that was supposedly destroyed at the Gala. Perhaps not all stereotypes are real, can it be that the twitter court was wrong?"

The Bad Guys were listening to the news on the radio, they cheered on knowing the public seemed to not be against them anymore.

"Do you guys think they'll throw us a party?" Tarantula asked the others.

Piranha nodded, "Yeah. With fireworks, pinatas and cake."

But then their thoughts were stuck at the word "cake" remembering that a few days ago it was Snake's birthday, they looked at the empty seat seeing his birthday hat laying there. Wolf stopped the car right in the middle of the road, He looked at Diane with a guilty look on his face as she just stared at him, confused as to why they stopped. Wolf lowered his head down as he sighed.

"We can't do this without him." Wolf declared.

"He might be a Mr. Grumpy Pants..." Shark started to say.

"But he's our Mr. Grumpy Pants." Tarantula finished Shark's phrase.

"Yeah." Piranha agreed with them.

With the group thinking the same thing, Wolf pressed on the accelerator pedal, speeding past the police station. A intense gush of wind flew to the others at the police station, making Thierry's gray wig fly off, showing to everyone his natural brown hair.

"Wolf!" The Chief shouted, seeing Wolf was still bad, but then she noticed Thierry without his wig on, "Wait, who are you?" She asked him.

Thierry looked nervously at the Chief as he typed a number on his phone, when the call got picked up, he put the phone close to his ear, "Putain mec, prepare des tickets pour Belize, on m'a retrouver!" He then ran off as fast as he could, dropping the microphone and leaving the cameraman alone and confused.

"Yes!" Tiffany screamed from behind the police station's tree, she got off the trees and grabbed the microphone, "Tiffany Fluffit is back into the spotlight!" She exclaimed with excitement.

The Bad Guys were back on the highway, as they were following Marmalade's helicopter.

"So will you explain to me your plan?" Snake asked Marmalade, still not knowing what was the next part of their plan that made Marmalade be so joyful about it.

Marmalade shrugged, "I'm not one to explain my plans."

Snake raised an eyebrow, "You are."

"No I'm not." Marmalade denied Snake's claim.

"Okay, you're not." Snake quickly agreed with Marmalade, looking to the side, not wanting to partake in this useless back and forth.

They both looked down as they heard Wolf honking the car's horn repeatedly as he shouted Snake's name, "Snake! Snake!"

"Wolf?" Snake asked out loud, surprised to see Wolf was back.

"Snake, come back!" Wolf shouted to Snake.

"We need you, baby!" Shark begged for Snake to come back.

"And you need us!" Tarantula added.

"Oh, there you go again, making it personal." Marmalade said looking at the Bad Guys, Then he pointed down at them angrily, "I'll give you one last chance to give me the meteorite."

Piranha put himself on top of the car's windshield, "Oh, yeah? What you gonna do, Whiskers?" He asked Marmalade, telling him to see his worse.

Marmalade took Snake's helmet and put it on his head, "This." He started mentally using the helmet.

The Bad Guys then all felt the ground shaking, they also heard lots of strange sounds coming from behind.

"What the..." Wolf said, weirded out by whatever was happening.

They all looked back, seeing what was causing this. Then they saw, right behind them a giant swarm of guinea pigs running towards them, forming a tsunami of guinea pigs.

Shark gasped, "We've got adorable company."

They all got back to their seats.

"Floor it!" Tarantula screamed to Wolf to drive away as fast as he could.

Which he didn't hesitate to do, driving inside a tunnel while trying to dodge the tsunami of guinea pigs that were catching up to them, they would form giant balls of guinea pigs trying to strike the Bad Guys' car. The guinea pigs were unstoppable, easily breaking the tunnel's walls apart as they soon caught up to the Bad Guys, the car's tires weren't touching the road anymore, but guinea pigs.

"Maybe I shouldn't have called him Whiskers." Piranha regretted his poor choice of words, as he held onto the seat for dear life.

They were able to get out of the tunnel, but not escape the guinea pigs, attacking them from all sides, as Wolf tried his best to keep the car driving forward without getting stricken by the tsunami of guinea pigs.

"When I woke up this morning, this is not where I saw the day going." Tarantula told the others, sliding all over the car's dashboard mat.

Snake looked down at the Bad Guys struggling against the guinea pigs, he couldn't help but let off a concerned look out. He turned his head to Marmalade, seeing him smiling proudly at the Bad Guys' suffering.

"Hey, hey, let's dial this down a notch, huh?" Snake asked Marmalade to make them suffer more lightly, "Besides, you'll never get him. He's too good a driver."

Marmalade put his finger up to his chin, seeing that Snake had a point, Wolf was able to dodge the guinea pig's attacks, no matter how impossible they were to dodge, "Hmm. You're right." He agreed with Snake, he looked back at him, "I think it's the best moment to explain to you my plan."

Snake nodded, giving Marmalade a huge forced smile, "Ah yes, go on."

"I think it would be better to exploit his greatest weakness." Marmalade explained as he grabbed Snake's tail, patting it a bit.

"Exactly." Snake was quick to agree with Marmalade, but then he looked off to the distance, dropping his smile, as he realized what Marmalade meant, "Wait."

Without letting Snake a second to react, Marmalade threw him off the helicopter, Snake screamed as the Bad Guys looked up at him being thrown, he was able to bite the helicopter's landing skid, saving himself from falling off the helicopter. But then he looked up seeing Marmalade laughing as he jumped down to the top of the landing skid and put his shoe up close to Snake's face, ready to kick him off the helicopter without a way to defend himself.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on." Wolf put his paw up, hoping his words would stop Marmalade, "Hold it, hold it, hold it." Marmalade didn't stop, as Wolf saw his words didn't have any effect on Marmalade and quickly decided to give up on the meteorite for Snake's life, "Okay, okay. You win. You can have the space rock."

Marmalade put his foot down, "Good boy, Wolf." He then started controlling the guinea pigs around the Bad Guys' car, moving them away from the car to leave them space and have a clear path to take the meteorite.

Back at Marmalade's mansion, Spider-man was exchanging blows against the Green Goblin, Green Goblin threw a kick at Spider-man but he dodged it by jumping back. Spider-man then stopped, starting to feel his spider-sense going off, but this one felt weird, the sign of danger wasn't coming from here but from afar, that was peculiar.

His thoughts were interrupted when the Green Goblin rushed towards him, pushing him to the wall, he put his left arm over Spider-man's throat, pinning him to the wall.

"You're unfocused, Spider-man!" Green Goblin screamed at Spider-man, not understanding why Spider-man didn't seem to take this battle seriously.

"I was." Spider-man agreed, "You failed a good opportunity to get rid of me, though."

"I will now." The Green Goblin declared, holding his right arm back as he made a fist with his hand.

Spider-man then noticed a razor blade at the floor, he shot a web string at it from his right wrist, as the Green Goblin punched him in the face, backing his right arm away to punch him again. Spider-man pushed the web string towards him and caught the razor blade, before the Green Goblin could throw him another punch, Spider-man blocked the punch with his arm as he slammed one of the sharp ends of the razor blade right to the Goblin's right eye lens, shattering the lens apart.

Green Goblin put his right hand to his eye, as Spider-man used that moment to uppercut Green Goblin's chin, making him back away in the air, he shot a web string at the Green Goblin while he was mid-air and brought him down close to him, once close enough Spider-man kicked him in the chest, bringing him down to the floor.

The Green Goblin grunted as he jumped up to stand, getting out a pumpkin bomb from his belt, pushing the button to activate and then he threw it at Spider-man, he leaned against the wall as the pumpkin bomb fell to the floor and was about to explode, Green Goblin was suspicious about Spider-man not dodging out right the bomb and instead just staying at a safe distance. The bomb exploded, engulfing the room with flames and smoke.

The Green Goblin looked around the room, not seeing where Spider-man was, even after the smoke started to dissipate, he had run away. He felt the blood on top of his eye flowing down, he closed his eye once the blood made contact with his eye, the blood flew down on his face. He was angered at Spider-man's decisions, first refusing his offer to join him and now he fled from their battle.

"No one says no to me!" The Green Goblin screamed, feeling he was disrespected by Spider-man and he was going to make sure Spider-man would regret his decision.

At the highway, the Bad Guys were looking up at the helicopter approaching their car from upwards, Cuddles pushed the button to roll down the open claw as it was going down to the meteorite.

Wolf looked at the claw approaching the meteorite, "Take the wheel." He told the others as he got out of his seat and then went to the top of the meteorite as the claw had closed on it, "Not so fast." Wolf told Marmalade, looking up at him, "Pull him up first, or I'll use this." He took out the lipstick out of his pocket.

Marmalade narrowed his eyes looking down at the lipstick in Wolf's paws, "Oh, come now." He wasn't really threatened by it.

Wolf rolled the top of the lipstick as it blew fire out of it, Wolf aimed the fire towards the metal chains of the claw, starting to burn them, "Do it, or you'll lose the rock."

"If you insist." Marmalade whispered, "Cuddles!" Just shouting his name was enough for Cuddles to understand Marmalade's orders, he started flying the helicopter higher and further from the car. He looked down at the end of the road, seeing they were to the site where the meteorite crashed a year ago, he looked back at Wolf, "You want him? He's yours." Then he kicked Snake's head.

From the kick, Snake let go of the landing skid, he yelled, eyes wide, as he started falling.

"Snake!" Wolf screamed seeing Snake falling to the huge crater, "No, no, no." Wolf quickly ran back to his seat, driving the car as fast as he could to catch up to Snake, not caring about stomping on the land made out of guinea pigs with the car's tires. He looked in front of him seeing the highway was cut off, but from afar he saw the other side of the highway, he looked back at the others, "Guys, I know it's crazy, but we're gonna jump it."

Piranha put his arms up, "Crazy? You're finally speaking my language, chico."

Wolf pressed on the pedal as hard as he could as it drove through the swarm of guinea pigs, where at the end of the road it made a ramp of guinea pigs. The car flew up, approaching Snake and the other end of the highway.

"We're gonna make it!" Piranha shouted with excitement, already cheering from their future achievement.

But then the rules of gravity slapped them back to reality as the car started going down.

"No!" Tarantula shouted, realizing they wouldn't make the jump.

The car being heavier than all of them started falling faster as the Bad Guys got off the car falling on their own.

Snake looked at them falling with him, "You came back."

Wolf started approaching Snake like he was swimming in the water, "Snake. I should've been honest with you. I was afraid that if you knew. I-I wanted to be good that you'd..."

"Act like a jerk and never talk to you again?" Snake asked Wolf if this was what he was trying to say.

"Yeah." Wolf laughed, "Point is I...I..."

Snake didn't let Wolf finish his phrase, "Yeah. I love you, too, buddy." Then they hugged each other, as a sign of their restored friendship, the others approached them as they let off the hug and Snake looked at Tarantula, "So, how is your first day as a hero?"

Tarantula looked down at the huge crater they were about to fall into, she looked back at Snake, "Well, I'm falling to my death right now."

"Yep, me too." Snake nodded, "I suppose whatever path we choose in life, we are all destined to succumb to death eventually."

"Too dark, amigo." Piranha told Snake.

"No, no, it's hopeful, believe me." Snake went to explain what he meant, "This makes me realize our fight back in the prison was just a pity fight, ya know? Me and Marmalade had the same ideals, but it just didn't click unlike with you all. Whatever you choose to be, I'll always be with you."

"That was so beautiful." Shark told Snake, he was starting to cry, his tears falling upwards, "Do you know how beautiful this is, you guys?"

"Now...now you're gonna make me cry." Piranha blamed Shark for making him cry.

"I know! So pathetic, right?" Tarantula started crying too.

Everyone started crying together, except Wolf.

"Come on, guys." Wolf said calmly, he then got up the grappling hook gun, "Who said it was the end?"

They all gasped as Snake chuckled from Wolf's last resort. They all held onto Wolf as he aimed the grappling hook gun up and pressed the trigger, the hook flew up, with Wolf's pants too, after a few seconds of going up the hook went back down being too short for the distance between the Bad Guys and the highway, the hook started going down faster and further than them, Wolf let go of the grappling hook gun as they all eyed it down, their sudden rush of hope had completely been emptied out in a second.

"This thing doesn't work like in the movies." Snake stated.

"Yeah..." Wolf agreed.

Without options, they just accepted to wait and let gravity do all the work in falling down, until they weren't. They were just stuck there in the air, Shark looked behind him seeing a web string going down to his back, they all looked up and Spider-man standing right at the edge of the highway, holding the web string with both of his hands.

Their smiles and hope came back, "Spider-man!" They all said in unison.

"Hey, everyone." Spider-man greeted them, "Sorry I'm late. I had to beat a Goblin with a stick to get here."

"Hilarious. Can you get us up?" Snake asked Spider-man, he was glad he was saved but it didn't mean he had to suffer through Spider-man's one liners.

"Oh you changed sides? Good on you, Snake." Spider-man told Snake, "I'm pulling you up."

Spider-man started pulling the web string up.

Snake just shook his head, he then looked at Tarantula, "You like this guy only because he's a spider, right?" He asked her.

"Don't be ridiculous, Snake, he's more man than spider." Tarantula pointed out to Snake.

It took some time but the car had finally landed down on the crater, exploding on contact with it, creating an explosion of flames and smoke, destabilizing the helicopter enough that Marmalade had lost his helmet and it flew up to the helicopter's rotors breaking the helmet apart. Marmalade had lost control to all the guinea pigs as their eyes returned to their normal color, all the guinea pigs casually walked back to their homes.

With the helmet hitting the rotors, Cuddles had lost control of the helicopter, smoke was coming out of it as the helicopter was flying down, turning around itself.

"No, no, no, don't...No, no. Cuddles! We're losing altitude! We're going down!" Marmalade told Cuddles.

Piranha got off between Shark's legs, he was hanging down as he coughed a bit, "What happened? Did we blow up?" He looked around with a smile on his face while still not understanding where he was, "Is this heaven?"

Soon enough, Spider-man had got them back to the concrete land. He removed the rest of the webs that stayed on Shark's back.

"Everyone's here, right?" Spider-man asked them.

"Oh, I knew you were working together." The Chief spoke up, everyone looked at her, seeing her accompanied by a group of officers. She had a satisfied look on her face, having watched the whole scene, "There is absolutely no way you're getting away this time."

"Wait, Chief." Diane told the Chief to stop, putting herself in front of her.

"Governor Foxington?" The Chief asked, surprised to see Diane coming to the scene.

"Don't do this." Diane was quick to defend the Bad Guys and Spider-man, "They didn't steal the meteorite. They were bringing it back."

The Chief made a quick laugh, "Ha! So what? Were they also bringing the Golden Dolphin back? Stopping the Green Goblin? Going back to prison? Healing the wounds of said prison's guards? How can you defend them?" She asked Diane, then she bit her lower lip, "Unless...you were conspiring with a bunch of known criminals." She joyfully supposed Diane was working with the Bad Guys.

"Well..." Diane started to say, then cleared her throat, "As a matter of fact, it's time I came clean about something." She removed her glasses, "The truth is I'm really..."

While Diane was still hesitating to say her true identity, Wolf tapped on Spider-man's arm with his arm, "Hey, Spidey. I'm sorry."

Spider-man turned to Wolf, "For what?"

Without even a millisecond to react, Wolf kicked with all his might Spider-man in the crotch, everyone focused at the scene unfolding right in front of their eyes, shocked to see what just happened. Spider-man went to his knees grunting in immense pain.

Wolf casually readjusted white tuxedo vest, a proud grin on his face. He crouched down near the cat and picked him up, then he walked up to Diane's side, "I think she meant she is really a big fan of redemption arcs." He told them, then looked at the still shocked Diane, "Yeah, we know." He looked back at the others, understanding where Wolf was going with this, they nodded at him, ready to follow his plan, he looked back at Diane and gave her the cat and then put his arms in front of him and in front of the Chief, "We're done running away." The other Bad Guys walked up to Wolf's side, also putting their arms in front of them, "Chief, do what you need to do."

For the Chief, this was more shocking than the crotch-kick from earlier, "What..." She then stopped and thought about it, they wouldn't give up so easily, would they? No, they must be hiding something, "Wait! What about Spider?" The Chief asked them, looking behind them and seeing Spider-man, still in pain.

Wolf pointed back at Spider-man, "Didn't you see what I did to him?" Wolf reminded the Chief.

The Chief shrugged, "So what?" She asked Wolf, wanting to know his point.

"C'mon, by now you should know the code of honor between criminals." Wolf told the Chief.

Then she remembered that code of honor, she turned back and pulled out a small notebook from her pocket, quickly swiping through the pages reading everything, until she would find the rule he was talking about. Then, to her surprise, she found, "No criminal strikes another criminal in the crotch." She read it again and again, just to be sure she wasn't misinterpreting it, but no, Wolf was right, he wouldn't hit Spider-man in the crotch if they were colleagues, she closed the notebook and turned back to the Bad Guys, seeing Wolf raising his brow in a look like, "Do you believe us now?"

She pulled a pair of handcuffs, but she was still unsure about this whole situation, "This is not a trick, right? You really turning yourself in?"

"We might not have stolen the meteorite, nor the Golden Dolphin, but we did steal a lot of other things. It's time we took some responsibility. Start a clean state." Wolf explained to the Chief, who couldn't believe what she was witnessing right now, he winked at her, "Take us in, Chief."

"Wow, really?" The chief asked Wolf, even after all the confirmation, she still couldn't take in the moment.

"You finally did it." Wolf helped her out, putting the handcuffs on him himself, "This is your moment, Chief. Drink it in."

The Chief gasped, "Wow. You know, I should...I should give a speech. I...Well, I-I should, shouldn't I?"

"Uh..." Wolf wasn't so sure about the speech.

But the Chief did it anyway, turning back to all the other officers, "When I was six years old, I decided that I wanted to play the piccolo, only to find that my fingers were just too powerful for that fragile little instrument. And that's when I discovered law enforcement..."

"I'm proud of you, Wolf." Diane praised Wolf for turning himself in.

Spider-man went to Wolf's side, while still keeping a safe distance from the cat that Diane was holding,"Yeah, great job Wolf..." He said, with a bit of bitterness from the pain caused by Wolf.

Wolf looked at Spider-man, smirking at him, "I hope it hurts, man."

Spider-man tilted his head to the side, "You should know this is painful." Spider-man told Wolf.

"Glad to know." Wolf then went on to explain why he did that to Spider-man, "Now that we turned good now, we won't ever fight each other like we used to, so consider this as a parting gift, and a sign of our victory in the Spider-man and the Bad Guys war."

Spider-man chuckled as he looked down. Sure, what Wolf did to him was painful, but he was glad to see he had changed into a better person. He didn't know how much he influenced him to make this choice, but in the end, Wolf turned good and even helped him get out of a sticky situation.

Spider-man looked back up, "Thank you, Wolf."

Wolf shook his head, dismissing Spider-man's thanks, "No, thank you."

Then officers came in, taking the Bad Guys to their car.

Being back on the job, Tiffany was the first on the scene to announce the news, "So, it turns out the saga of the Bad Guys has come to a simple and totally satisfying conclusion." She put her face close to the camera, "Just like that horrendous BFC news channel, Channel 6 Action News is back, baby!"

Then right behind the camera's feed, Marmalade's helicopter was seen slowly flying up, "Cuddles! Faster, faster!" Marmalade ordered Cuddles to leave the scene quickly.

"It's Professor Marmalade!" Tiffany exclaimed, then she saw the helicopter's claw had the meteorite, "He's bringing the meteorite back."

Marmalade looked down, seeing he was being filmed, making him uneasy at first, "Huh? Uh, yes, yes." He nodded to Tiffany's words, glad that they weren't suspecting him of stealing, "Bringing...bringing it back. That's precisely what I am doing." Then Cuddles rolled the claw down to the highway, putting the meteorite down on it, the helicopter landed down then Marmalade jumped out of it, announcing to the people, "Look no further. Your hero has arrived. Not like that scam artist that is Spider-man."

Tiffany went close to Marmalade, crouching down to his level and telling him the fact, "Professor, actually Spider-man was never affiliated with the Bad Guys."

"Oh..." Marmalade stopped smiling, Tiffany put the microphone close to him waiting for him to say something further, he quickly corrected himself, "Well, I always knew that he was a good guy! After all, me and Spider-man are so close, like family!"

"Care to comment about the Bad Guys?" Tiffany asked Marmalade.

Marmalade put his hands together, looking down in sadness, "I tried to help them, Tiffany, but in the end, it's the same old story. Bad guys bad, good guys good."

Tiffany looked back at the camera, "So true. So wise."

Then Marmalade had an idea to keep the meteorite, he walked close to the camera's view, "Furthermore, for the good of the city, I have generously decided to take the meteorite back to my compound for safekeeping."

Everyone on the scene clapped at Marmalade's brave offer to take the meteorite to himself, except the Bad Guys, Spider-man and Diane who knew exactly who he was.

"Is he seriously gonna get away with this?" Tarantula asked the others.

"Thank you. Gosh, you're kind." Marmalade thanked the people clapping for him, as he started clapping for himself, "Give it up for me!"

Spider-man noticed that the meteorite was switching its blue lights on and off each time Marmalade clapped, he tapped his finger at the Chief's shoulder and pointed to the meteorite, but she had already noticed the fact the meteorite was acting strange, for a meteorite.

The Chief rolled her eyes at Spider-man, "Thank you detective Spider-man, I could never have figured this out without you."

Spider-man took a deep voice, like a film noir detective narrating the bad state of his city while being inside his office while it was raining outside, "No problem."

The Chief walked up to the meteorite, "This isn't the meteorite." The Chief declared loud enough for everyone to hear, she clapped her hands to show the others the meteorite switching the lights on and off, "It's a lamp."

Everyone gasped, except Snake. He was chuckling proudly at the scene, the Bad Guys looked at him.

"What?!" They all exclaimed at the same time, knowing Snake was behind this.

Snake was in front of Marmalade's mansion, asking him to join him in his plan to be bad, "I'm bad." Snake pointed to himself, "You're bad." He pointed to Marmalade, "He's bad." He pointed to the Green Goblin, behind Marmalade, "We're all bad! So, let's be bad together."

Marmalade was quick to accept Snake's offer, "You've got yourself a deal." They shook hands(In Snake's case, tail.) Snake looked up at the Green Goblin, nervous to work close to him, he was hoping he wouldn't try to kill him out of nowhere.

"Can I try it on?" Being a snake meant that nobody ever trusted him, never trust a Snake, they said, they always stab in the back. But Snake didn't care about the critics so he decided to be the best at manipulation.

"Of course, partner." But Snake wasn't doing it for his personal ill-intentions, no. Spider-man really inspired him to do good, it's true, really, believe Snake, he never lied. He just wanted to teach Marmalade a lesson, after all Spider-man taught him: the sprinkler gets sprinkled.

When Snake got the helmet on his head, he used it to guide the guinea pigs inside the cages in the room where the meteorite was at, he used the guinea pigs to take out the lamp that looked like the meteorite, painting it exactly like the real meteorite and switching both meteorite's places.

"Don't mind us. Just robbing this place." While the Bad Guys took the lamp, thinking it was the meteorite...

"No, no, no!" And Marmalade ran behind them, also thinking they had taken the meteorite. Snake, with the help of the guinea pigs, had put back the real meteorite to the top of the machine and pulled the machine's lever to overdrive mode.

But one detail that he forgot was that Green Goblin was still at the mansion. He was standing on top of the machine, staring at the meteorite right in front of him. In his right hand he had a bottle with the performance enhancer inside of it.

Inside the Goblin's mask, Norman shook his head, "I can't do this."

"You can. We need power!" The Green Goblin was quick to give Norman a reason to continue.

"It won't work." Norman wasn't so sure this would even work in his favor.

"Don't be a coward." The Green Goblin repeated Norman's words, "Risks are part of laboratory science."

Then the Green Goblin smashed the top of the performance enhancer with his other hand, and poured the contents of it inside the meteorite, upon contact with the insides of the meteorite the green liquid quickly dissipated to gas.

Back on the highway, Marmalade pointed back to the lamp, "If that's the lamp, where is the..." He stopped when he heard Snake chuckling.

"The old switcheroo." Snake said, putting his tail up and then clicked it like clicking a finger.

And at the same time a huge green explosion came out of Marmalade's mansion, caused by the meteorite overcharging. Marmalade looked with his wide eyes at his mansion being destroyed right in front of him. Soon enough only smoke was left out of the explosion as a huge gust of wind came to the highway, Snake slurped his tongue looking at Marmalade. Then the Bad Guys went to the police car waiting for an officer to drive them out of the highway.

Marmalade froze there as Spider-man came to his side and patted his hair, "Don't worry, since we're as close as a family, you can live with me in my apartment." Spider-man offered Marmalade a place to stay.

But he didn't answer him, still frozen in place, until the Golden Dolphin dropped down right on top of his face, the Golden Dolphin then dropped to the ground as Marmalade unceremoniously fell to the ground too.

"The Golden Dolphin?" The Chief asked, picking up the Golden Dolphin and wondering how it fell to her, she looked down near Marmalade seeing a peculiar diamond, "And hold on..." She picked up the diamond and noticed it was the Zumpango diamond, "This is the Zumpango diamond. But this was stolen by the..." She gasped and then pointed at Marmalade, "By the Crimson Paw!"

Hearing the accusations, Marmalade shook his head and came out of his trance, "Me? Oh, no, no, no."

Tiffany and the cameraman stood really close to Marmalade, "O-M-G! In a shocking twist, the notorious bandit known as the Crimson Paw has been revealed to be...None other than Professor Marmalade."

While the Chief picked up Marmalade, Spider-man felt his spider-sense rising up in sign of an incoming danger, he started looking around to see the source of it, he found nothing at first. But then he started thinking about it, remembering that this may be the Green Goblin, after all he had left him alone inside Marmalade's mansion, he started wondering if he got caught up in the explosion or not.

While he didn't know about it, his suspicions were real, the Green Goblin was still intact and he was coming towards them, flying on his glider over the hills approaching the highway.

He sang an edited version of a children's lullaby to pass time, "The itsy-bitsy spider, went up the water spout. Down came the goblin, and took the spider out."

Then when he was close enough to the highway, he blasted a missile out of his glider towards the highway. Spider-man was the first to notice it, he saw it was heading towards the Chief that had Marmalade in her hands. Spider-man shot a web string to the Chief's back and brought her and Marmalade away from the missile, but with doing that he didn't have time to dodge the missile himself, while the missile didn't strike him, once he landed down on the highway and exploded, Spider-man did take the impact of the explosion.

Spider-man flew back, slamming his back to the steel guardrail, bending it as he went over it and going down off the highway, he shot a web string up on the left edge of the highway, hanging on that web string.

He used his free hand to touch his face, feeling that the left part of his mask got ripped off near his eye. His vision was a bit blurry from the shock of the explosion, but he felt his spider-sense rising up again, seeing with a bit of difficulty that the Green Goblin was rapidly approaching him sharp blades were extending out from the lower front part of his glider, he didn't know if he had time to dodge it, but he had to try.

The Green Goblin was close to the kill, his glider's blades nearly in contact with Spider-man's body, until the Golden Dolphin was thrown down at him, landing on top of his mask, he grunted in pain and shock as he was knocked off balance, his glider deriving a bit as Spider-man was able to dodge it.

The Green Goblin quickly gained back control of the glider, and flew in place as he looked up who threw the Golden Dolphin at him, it was Diane, still having the cat in her arm and her other paw grabbing the top of the guardrail as she looked down on the Goblin.

The Green Goblin looked back at Spider-man, getting out a rope from his glider and throwing the end of it towards Spider-man, the rope enrolled around his waist and the Green Goblin started dragging him out of the scene, flying away as Spider-man was forced to let go of his web. Everyone looked at them getting away.

"My first day back is amazing!" Tiffany screamed with excitement, and then the fear kicked in, "And terrifying!"

"The Bad Guys are getting away too!" An officer exclaimed, pointing behind him.

The Chief looked back, and saw the car the Bad Guys were at was being driven away, "What?! No!" She was about to follow the car, but it was already taking distance, she shook her head, "Argh! Can't leave them out of my sight." Then she addressed every officer at the highway, "Alright everyone, I want every unit to follow wherever the Green Goblin is taking Spider-man, I'll take care of the Bad Guys."

Everyone nodded and every officer started going back to their cars, ready to follow the Green Goblin. Meanwhile, Marmalade was leaning against the SUCM truck, ready to sneakily get out of the highway while everyone was distracted with the Green Goblin.

"You might not be that useless after all, Goblin..." Marmalade whispered to himself, he started walking away, but then stopped bumping into a wall.

But it wasn't a wall, it was the Chief, looking down at him, "Don't think I forgot about you."

"No!" Marmalade screamed as the Chief quickly grabbed on the back of his collar and pulled him up and took him to the back of the SUCM truck, throwing him inside of it and closing the doors, as the truck then drove away.

The Chief turned back, to speak with the Governor, "Don't worry Governor, we will-" But she stopped when she realized Diane wasn't there anymore, "Governor?" She asked, looking around but she didn't find the Governor.

The Chief looked down and saw the cat Diane had in her arms being in front of her as the cat looked up at the Chief. That was definitely a cute cat, but where was the Governor?

Inside the police car where the Bad Guys were at, the car was driven by Diane, they were looking at her, surprised she would steal a police car.

Diane threw them the keys she stole from an officer, "Use the keys, get yourselves out." She told them, focusing back on driving.

The Bad Guys all took turns to use the keys and get out of their handcuffs.

"So, we're helping Spidey now?" Wolf asked Diane.

Diane nodded, "Exactly."

"Do we have to?" Snake asked them.

"Not now Snake!" They all shouted to Snake at the same time.

"What? I'm just saying I thought he was the hero of the city that never needed help from anyone." Snake pointed out.

"Well, now he needs help, our help." Tarantula pointed out in return.

Snake sighed, "Fine, but only because I want to beat someone up before going to prison." He noticed everyone glaring at him, Snake put his tail up as a sign of apology, "All right, also because it's good to do good."

"That's the spirit." Shark told Snake, putting his arm over Snake's back.

"Let's do this." Wolf declared as they watched the Green Goblin taking Spider-man away. Making sure to follow them.

Spider-man tried to get off the rope but considering there was nothing close he could grip his web into, except water, then he had no choice but stay on.

The Green Goblin spoke to him, "I knew you would be foolish enough to save his pathetic life. You think you can do good forever?" Then he threw the rope away and Spider-man with it, "Then I'll show you wrong!"

Spider-man fell away to an abandoned and broken ruins, his back slamming to the brick wall of an old building, breaking it as he crashed inside of it, falling inside the ruins he shot a web string up, trying to regain control of his fall, but then he crashed into a glass window, shattering it to pieces ripping a few parts of his suit as he also lost grip of his web. But his fall was stopped when his back hit a carved wall, he slowly got up as he leaned on the wall.

Then he saw a pumpkin bomb falling down right in front of him, he didn't have time to avoid it as he saw the bomb blowing away right in front of his face, he took the full-blown explosion, throwing him backwards, breaking into the carved wall and his back slammed into a pillar, he fell down in front of him to a pile of bricks.

He spit out some blood coming out of his mouth to the bricks as the left part of his mask was torn off. The Green Goblin flew towards Spider-man, then he jumped out of the glider letting it fly away as he landed right in front of Spider-man.

Spider-man tried to get up with much difficulty, as the left eye lens of Goblin moved up, letting Spider-man see both of his eyes, "Misery, misery, misery. That's what you've chosen." The Green Goblin slowly approached Spider-man as he stood up facing the Goblin, "I offered you friendship...and you spat in my face."

Spider-man saw the Goblin's punch coming, he put his arms in front of his face, Green Goblin punched his arms but he quickly used his other fist to punch him in his unprotected chest, he backed away, leaning to the pillar behind him as the Green Goblin went for another punch, Spider-man dodged it by crouching down as Green Goblin punched the pillar, breaking the part he punched.

The Green Goblin held his knee high up, hitting Spider-man's chin and forcing him to stand up. Then Green Goblin punched him in the face, the strength of the punch made Spider-man turn his head and body back as blood blew out of his mouth. Nearly out, Spider-man still tried to get back into the fight, turning back to the Green Goblin but he was instantly met with an uppercut to his chin, sending him high back in the air, he landed to the ground on his back.

The Goblin flip-jumped towards Spider-man and once he landed in front of him he punched him again on the maskless side of his face, he threw another punch for good measure. Spider-man fell back but put his hand on the floor trying to not fall to the floor, he put his other hand up in the air and shot out a web string trying to get away from the Goblin, once making contact with the ceiling he pulled himself up, but Green Goblin wouldn't let him escape jumping towards him and doing a flip kick up in his left shoulder to throw him back down to the floor.

Spider-man landed on the floor on his back, as the Green Goblin landed down and went down on Spider-man, ready to punch him again, Spider-man double-kicked Goblin's stomach, not with much strength but enough to make him back away and leave enough time for Spider-man to get back up.

Spider-man quickly shot web at two symmetric half-broken pillars, making a web wall, The Green Goblin went to that web wall, being stuck for a bit, until he was able to break it apart, Spider-man used that moment where Goblin was distracted in breaking the web to run towards him and punch him, but the Green Goblin kicked him in the stomach from the hole he made in the web wall, sending Spider-man back to a broken brick wall.

The Green Goblin approached him as Spider-man stopped leaning on the wall, the Goblin held his leg high up kicking Spider-man right in the face, once again aiming for the maskless part of his face. Then the Green Goblin walked backwards, taking his time knowing Spider-man didn't have the strength to fight back anymore, then he ran towards him and jumped sideways as he dropped kicked him in the chest sending Spider-man to slam his whole back body to the brick wall, he collapsed down to the ground.

Spider-man couldn't get up, only being able to slowly move his head back up glaring at the Green Goblin slowly approaching him, he also put his arm up starting to shoot web from his wrist, but Goblin quickly stopped him by stomping his boot to his wrist and slammed it down to the ground.

"You've spun your last web, Spider-man. Before I kill you. Tell me...Why? I just need to know the answer." The Green Goblin waited for an answer, but he was met with a silencing glare from Spider-man, "So reluctant to speak, I wonder...was it someone you knew?" He noticed the anger rising in Spider-man's face, confirming Goblin's supposition, "It was, wasn't it? Someone very close to you died, so you've decided to keep their being alive by living to their faith. How touching. But what a waste. Whoever they were, they were wrong." Spider-man grunted, trying to get off Green Goblin's grasp, not wanting to hear his words anymore, but he couldn't get out.

The Green Goblin continued, "We could have been something great, but you've decided it was best staying with those corrupt furries. And for what? I'll kill you, and then I'll kill them. First Marmalade. Then the Bad Guys and then...the Governor." Spider-man looked up at the Green Goblin, still glaring at him, "She's gonna be the last one, and the one I'm gonna enjoy the most...'Cause I'm gonna finish her nice and slow." Spider-man bared his teeth, as the Green Goblin paused, getting a steel bar from his belt. He continued, "Diane and I...we're gonna have a foxxing good time!" He declared as the ends of the steel bar separated into three sharp blades, like a trident, as sparks came out of them.

The Green Goblin brought down the trident to Spider-man's face, as with the new-found determination to protect those close to him, he was able to get his wrist off Goblin's boot and put his hands on two of the tridents' blades, stopping it from stabbing his face, they struggled for control as Spider-man slowly got up and once he was back on both of his feet, he pushed the Green Goblin's back with the help of the trident, sending him back to another broken brick wall.

Spider-man threw the trident away, he saw the Green Goblin getting up, so he shot two web strings to his legs and threw them up, making him fall back again. Again, he shot two web strings this time to the two top edges of the brick wall and brought it down to the Goblin. The Green Goblin was getting up as he looked behind him, realizing the brick wall was falling on top of him, he put his arms up, but let out a scream once he realized he couldn't push it away, the brick wall fell on top of him, falling to the ground creating a small smoke of dust.

Spider-man stepped back as the Green Goblin slowly took out his hand away from the rubble of bricks, he grabbed a brick, helping him up into getting his whole body out of the mass of bricks, with some difficulty he got up.

Then he heard Spider-man scream, he looked to the side where the screaming was coming from, "Huh?" He saw Spider-man rapidly swinging towards his direction, he picked the Green Goblin up and took him in the flight, until he was high enough and threw him out, he broke through some wooden pallets wall, until he got brought down and got his back slammed against a brick wall, as his boots landed on a broken wooden floor.

Spider-man swung down and landed right in front of a struggling Goblin, he forced him to stand up and then pinned him against the brick wall, putting his arm against his neck, and then he started punching continuously in the right side of his mask, making sure to hit him at full strength so that even with the mask's protection he would feel the pain caused by his punches.

The Green Goblin couldn't take it anymore, he put his hand in front of him, "Angel, Stop! Stop! It's me." He begged for Spider-man to stop, which he reluctantly did.

Seeing Spider-man had stopped hitting him, the Green Goblin removed his mask, revealing to Spider-man his true identity, Norman Osborn was the Green Goblin.

"Mr. Osborn." Spider-man said in disbelief.

Norman kept the mask close to him, "Angel, thank god for you."

"You killed Mario Price and those people at the Gala." Spider-man reminded Norman of the murders he did.

"The Goblin killed! I had nothing to do with it!" Norman quickly denied he was a part of those murders, "Don't let him take me again. I beg you. Protect me."

Spider-man wasn't convinced, "You tried to kill so many people; Diane, The Bad Guys, the Chief, Marmalade."

"But not you, Spider-man." Norman told Spider-man, talking softly to him, meanwhile he had reached his hand down to his other arm, pressing a button to call on the glider while he continued to talk, "I tried to stop it. But I couldn't stop it. I would never hurt you, I knew from the beginning..." The glider slowly and silently flew behind Spider-man, "If anything ever happened to me...it was you I could count on. You, Spider-man, would save me, like you saved countless people before, the Bad Guys and even Marmalade. Thank god for you. Whatever your beliefs are, so many people don't deserve your help, but you did it anyway, so please, give me a chance. Help me, redeem myself." Norman begged for Spider-man to help him, getting up and opening his arms to him.

"I will help you." Spider-man accepted to help Norman redeem himself, "But first thing you'll do is go to prison, answer for your crimes, that's your first step into redemption."

The Green Goblin quickly changed, no more begging as he sneered at Spider-man, "Godspeed, Spider-man."

Spider-man felt his spider-sense, there was danger right behind him, the glider's blades extended out of it as the glider started flying towards Spider-man at high speed, Spider-man made a backflip avoiding the glider's sharp blades as it continued to fly forward, heading to the Green Goblin.

"Oh." The Green Goblin simply said, in realization that he couldn't avoid the glider.

Then the glider's blades pierced through him, the blades were blocked in the wall as the Goblin was pinned in between the brick wall and the glider.

Norman wasn't able to scream, he was in too much pain to do so, he leaned his hands onto the glider, spilling out blood from his mouth, but then he looked down with a raised brow at his blood, his green blood. He didn't understand why his blood was green, but he knew for certain this wouldn't be good.

He looked at Spider-man, "Angel..." Norman used the last strength he had to mutter Spider-man a warning, as Spider-man looked at Norman's face, a green vein was popping out of his forehead, "...Run away."

Suddenly he started screaming loudly as he closed his eyes and leaned his head and back to the wall, he put his hands on the front of the glider and started pushing the glider out, at first it was unmoving, but as each second passed the more the Green Goblin started pushing the glider out, until he was able to push it with one last strong push, throwing it away to the wooden floor.

While he had removed the glider, the blades stayed on stuck on the wall and in him, he looked down seeing the blades, Spider-man was shocked, was he not feeling the blades that pierced his body? The Green Goblin looked down at them with much more annoyance than pain.

The Green Goblin put his hands on the wall as he started trying to walk out of the blades, like the glider at first it seemed like he was stuck there, but slowly he was moving forward, seemingly having more difficulty to move out of the blades stuck in his body than the pain that he was supposed to feel.

Soon enough he got his body out of the blades, keeping the blades bloodied with a mixture of red and green blood stuck in the wall. Two big but thin holes could be seen in his waist, green blood flowing out of these wounds, but once again the Green Goblin didn't seem affected by those.

The Green Goblin continued to move forward to Spider-man, "Spidey, Spidey. I told you to run away." The Green Goblin reminded Spider-man he had warned him.

Spider-man shook his head, "No, I won't run away. Not anymore." Spider-man said, determined to bring down the Green Goblin.

The Green Goblin stopped as he smirked at Spider-man, "Attaboy."

Oh hi everyone!

Another chapter done. This is the first chapter that has less words than the previous one, so I suppose the streak of the ever increasing word count is over, but still maybe at the end of this story I will reach the 100k words count, which I don't know if it's that massive, but I didn't expect this story to be so long, so yeah I won't complain about it.

So, the next chapter will have the true final fight, because the Green Goblin may have been impaled by his own glider but he is still not down.

Anyway, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

See ya!
