THE SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN
CHAPTER 8:
ARMED & DANGEROUS: PART 1 OF 4
Nuclear Power Plant-
New York
"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how, in theory, we would be able to stop radiation poisoning from harming life once and for all," said a tall, overweight man, dressed in a white lab coat. He had short brown hair, coming down to his collar with a fringe almost touching the tops of his heavy lab goggles. He stood on a stage, in the power plant's auditorium, with some assistants at his side, all who stood in front of a giant screen that had just finished showing a power point presentation
From the audience, a man stood up at his seat, alone, and began to clap as he said, "Bravo, Dr. Octavius! Bravo! Your speech was marvelous! I speak for my students here, and the others that weren't able to come, that it has been a great honor being here today, learning this from you."
Dr. Octavius looked in glee as he told the man, "Why, thank you Mr…"
"Paxton. Professor Paxton, actually," He replied back to Dr. Octavius, still standing at his seat.
"GEEK!"
"NERD!"
"LOSER!"
The students screamed from the desks, the entire class bursting into laughter. Professor Paxton. Everyone, but the professor himself, of course. His face grew red as a tomato, and immediately yelled at the students.
"ENOUGH!" He began. "You have NO respect for the wonders of science. For that, you will all have to do a 12-page report on this field trip, due NEXT class! Now everyone, back on the buses!"
All the students walked out as they muttered and complained about the punishment given to them. As they walked out, Professor Paxton counted them all, but noticed one student was missing. He kept thinking, looking quickly at all the students, who was missing?
"Parker!"
Elsewhere-
It's just my damn luck running back into the Lizard. I mean really, why can't these guys just stay away?
Spider-Man thought to himself as he fought the Lizard on a school rooftop. The Lizard, spat green ooze at Spider-Man, nearly hitting his target, but missed as Spider-Man back flipped onto an air conditioner.
"Come on lizzie, can't we talk this over?" Spider-Man asked The Lizard as shot his web and at him and tried to hold him with it. But the Lizard broke free and flung himself at Spider-Man to try and tackle him.
Spider-Man dodged out the way, and said to Lizard, "Ha! You mis-!" Spider-Man was saying, but than his spider-sense tingled, and when he turned around, The Lizard's tail slammed into him, sending him flying from the rooftop towards the middle of the school's playground, but Spider-Man quickly shot webs to the sides of the school, catching himself quickly before falling into the ground.
You'd think I would have seen that one coming, seeing how it ALWAYS HAPPENS IN THE MOVIES! Man, I must be slacking! Come on Parker, focus here!
.....
Oh yeah, talking to myself reeeeeeaaaaalllly helps a lot.
Just than, The Lizard jumped down in front of Spider-Man, who quickly jumped on his feet.
"You don't want to keep doing this! We talked about this, remember? Don't let those voices take over you! Pull yourself together, Connors!" The Lizard stood there, staring and hissing at Spider-Man.
Hey, did I actually get through to him?!
The Lizard again charged at Spider-Man and wrapped him with his giant tail. Spider-Man tried to escape, but The Lizard was fast enough to catch him there, and had a tight grip on him.
"That's a big 10-NO!" Spider-Man said to himself.
"Raaaaaaaaaker!"
It talks now?!
"Raaaaaaaaker!"
"Raaaaaapaaarker!"
"PARKEEEEEER!"
"Wah?! Huh?!"
A dream. It was all just a dream. I hate my dreams.
Peter Parker fell asleep during the presentation by Doctor Octavius. Though with the expression on Professor Paxton's face, he would've stayed getting a beaten from The Lizard, than face what he was about to face.
"Parker! This is unbelievable!" The professor started to yell. "This is something I would've expected from Flash or someone else, but not you! You should be ashamed of yourself! Sleeping though all this? What were you thinking?! We will finish this talk later at my office. Now get on the bus!"
Later on-
"Jonathon! Jonathon Ohnn!" Cried out Octavius.
"Yes, Doctor Octavius? How can I be of help?" Jonathon asked. Jonathon was Octavius's favorite assistant, who was soon going to become a doctor of science himself. He was only a young man, in his early twenties. With having smooth black hair and smooth skin, he was a favorite among the women there as well.
"Jonathon! It's ready for testing! The actuator arms are ready for testing for tonight! You must be there!" Octavius said in joy.
"Doctor Octavius, you were told to stop that project. Are trying to get us fired?!" Jonathon asked in shock.
"Listen to me, my boy," Octavius told him as he grabbed him by his shoulders. "The purpose of creating the actuator arms was to help create successful fusion! Just imagine the wonders it can do for mankind! Think of cheap electricity with the fusion! Please, you must be there to witness the miracle!"
Jonathon stood there, quiet, thinking. Would he help Octavius out? Risk his job to help out mankind for the better good, or turn away from the man that has helped him so much?
"….I…I'll do it. I'll help you," He told Octavius after some hesitation. A bigger smile grew on Octavius face when he heard the good news.
"Good, good, my boy! Meet me here tonight! We will test then," He said to Jonothon, turning back to his work. Jonothan looked at him a moment, face worried.
"I have such a bad feeling about this," he whispered to himself.
At Peter's residence-
"You cannot use that!" Mary Jane yelled.
"What? Come on, it's a word!"
"No, Harry, it's…it's disgraceful it what it is!"
Harry Osborne. Best friend of Peter and Mary Jane. He sat around the table with Mary Jane and Peter, as they played a game of Scrabble. Harry laughed at what Mary Jane said.
"What's wrong with me using 'boobies'?" Harry asked, still laughing.
"You are SUCH a pig! Peter, say something! Tell him he can't use that!" Peter just sat there, laughing himself, as well. Mary Jane grunted and stared at him.
"What? Come on, MJ, it's just a word. I mean, it's not like you're going to die from it, are you?" Peter asked her, chuckling.
"How about a soda re-fill?" Peter asked them.
"Pepsi," Harry responded.
"Same, but make it diet, Tiger," Mary Jane told him.
"Must be the model you in, huh?" Harry asked, trying to poke fun. Mary Jane just looked at him funny, and turned her head away.
As Peter kept playing before getting the sodas, he heard on the news about a hostage situation at The First National Bank.
One night! One night is all I ask for once in a while without having to go out. You know what? That's going to be the first thing on my Christmas list! Either Santa brings it, or HE gets a coal!
Peter, walking as fast as he could, walked towards his door, and told the others, "Uh…out of soda. Going to get more. Bye!"
"Out of soda?!" Harry asked, confused. "I just saw like two 12-packs in there! I swear to you, Mary Jane, he may be a genius in science, but he can be retarded sometimes."
"Look who's talking about retarded!" Mary Jane said, grabbing a pillow. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at Harry's face.
Meanwhile-
The police cars blocked the only exit of the The First National Bank, as they parked the cars in a half-circle formation, and news trucks close by.
The Captain yelled, "This is Captain Stacy. Come out with your hands up! Leave the hostages alone, and you won't get hurt!"
Inside the bank, a man wore a ski mask, as he held a woman with a gun pointed at her head. The woman cried, pleading to be let free, but the man would not listen.
He kept crying out, "This isn't my fault! Nooo! I…I told them to only give me another day. The check was coming the next day! But they took it away from me! EVERYTHING! My house, my car, and my wife took my kids and left me! SHE ^#*&^!$ LEFT ME! This is the entire bank's fault. They took too long with the money. Now they pay. I'm gonna get my money one ^&#^%#$ way or another!"
Spider-Man showed up, and landed right next to the Captain's side.
"Hi-ho, cap'n! What's the situation here arrrr?" Spider-Man jokingly asked.
"Spider-Man!"
"What? Where? Get me his autograph! He's soooooooo dreamy!"
"What are you doing here? You'll just make things worse!" Captain Stacy yelled at him.
"Worse? Aww…you hurt my feelings!"
"Listen, we can take of this. It's just your normal bank thief. Just an auto 8MM gun. We don't need you," Captain Stacy explained, trying to get rid of Spider-Man.
"We'll, I didn't come here for nothin'! So I'm steppin' in!" Spider-Man quickly made his way to the bank by flipping himself over and over. He crashed through the windows and quickly webbed the gun, and pulled it away.
"We're going to end up paying for the damn window. I just know it," Captain Stacy mumbled to himself.
"Spider-Man!" The man said, turning sideways to the cops, as he faced Spider-Man.
"See, everyone know me! Yet I'm no celebrity…" Spider-Man said, tossing the guns at the cops.
"That doesn't change anything! I have another one!" The man was about to pull another gun from his pocket. Spider-Man webbed his face, which the guy than tried to take off, and a web line at the hostage. He pulled the hostage away, and then shot another web line at the man, pulling him in, and punching his face in. He picked him up, webbed him all around, and then threw him outside through the window he came in. Spider-Man looked at Captain Stacy and waved at him. Suddenly, a white flash spread faster than the speed of light, which made Spider-Man's spider-sense go crazy.
"Wowza! What the hell was that? Whatever it was, it came from the east side. Better check it out, before anything else makes me come out again," Spider-Man hurried along, and went in the direction of the flash. He kept going it the same direction, and saw another flash, and kept following.
At the private lab of Doctor Octavius-
"Dr. Octavius, It's ready. Stage One complete," Jonathon said. He was in the giant Orb room where the testing of the actuator arms would take place. Both wore tainted safety glasses.
Octavius replied, "Alright. I have the arms ready."
"So you are completely certain this will function correctly since there's no control?" Jonathon asked.
"I control the arms with a neural link through my brain. That gives me the power to control them so I am able to handle the fusion reaction we're about to make," He told him.
"Is that suit you're wearing, the "spot" suit you created?" Asked Octavius.
"Yes. Thought it might serve a purpose here," Jonathon said back to him.
Doctor Octavius just turned around, and turned the actuator arms on. He walked towards the machine in which would hold the fusion creation.
"Now what are we going to use for the fusion creation, Doctor Octavius?"
"Tritium, my dear Jonathon. Tritium!"
"Are you crazy! That special source is the rarest in the world! Only 25 pounds of it, and you're using it for this!"
"Don't worry so much. It's small, but the right amount we need. Soon, we won't have to worry so much. Now, go turn on the machine."
As soon as Jonathon turned it on, the power of the machine was quickly rising.
"Perfect! It's working just fine. If I can just grab this here…"
But Octavius wasn't able to. The power of the fusion was passing maximum limits.
"Turn it off, Jonathon! It's too much!" Octavius yelled.
"I can't! The controls are not responding! It won't shut off!"
Right than, Spider-Man showed up on and landed on the roof's window skylight.
"Now what is this? A party that I'm not invited to?" Spider-Man than punched the glass, over and over, and once broken, was able to get in.
Octavius looked to see Spider-Man, but did not look too happy about it. "Spider-Man?! Go away! You'll ruin everything!" But Spider-Man didn't listen. Spider-Man saw that whatever was going on, needed to stop. He looked around and noticed the big bulk cables behind the machine. He went and dived towards them, but was knocked back by one of Octavius's arms.
"In case you didn't know, this needs to be stopped!" Spider-Man yelled.
"No! You're going to ruin this! You're going to mess this up and ruin my chance at a new life! I need this! I need to have my wife back!" Octavius yelled. The tritium fusion began to escape out of the machine, due to the actuator arms poking at it, trying to stop it from releasing. Octavius tried to stop it, but nothing could stop it now, but unplugging the cables.
Spider-Man got up, and attempted to unplug the cables again. He got to the cables and pulled as hard as he could to take them out. Octavius noticed him again, and wrapped two of his arms around him and pulled Spider-Man away. He than tried to plug the cables back in. Suddenly, all metal objects were being pulled towards the fusion machine. Jonathon was at the edge of the room, near the side windows. But then the window frames were coming at full force and one hit Jonathon, pushing him towards the machine as well.
As Spider-Man was dashing towards him from the further side of the room, he was caught in the explosion's blast, and wasn't able to get Jonathon out of the way, leaving him and Octavius in the middle of the explosion.
To be continued…
