Spider-Man Unlimited S2 Ch7

Chapter 7:
Help has arrived

"That…that armor."  Spider-Man questioned as his opponent was walking right at him.  The person, who he guessed was the High Evolutionary - source of all of this madness, but he was not wearing the same outfit he wore when they last met.

"Is there something the matter, Spider-Man?"  He questioned calmly while wondering if his soon to be dead foe knew of this former outfit he was wearing for this occasion.

"My friend Magneto fought someone with those same threads, but just before he left the master of magnetism made a promise to that Frankenstein poser."  The web-spinner said back with a hint of anger since he was also told what he wanted to due with the twins and what he had done to his other friend - Wolverine.

"Promise?  Promise?"  He questioned coyly, pretending to not know what the foe was speaking about.  This tactic was one of many that Parker knew about: it was also one of his least favorite methods of stalling.  "Oh, you mean this promise?"  He questioned before pressing a button on the back of his right hand which caused a flat screen to appear to they're right side, and on it was the promise New York's scapegoat was referring to:

"There is no place on this planet for him to hide from me."  The mutant known as Magneto: Erik Lehnsherr, said as the device fled from him and the others.  The current time Spider-Man watched the short video with a small grimace under the mask, but he tried to focus on his comedic side…at least for now.

"That be the one."  He said in a light hearted sense, but then grew serious.  "You heard him and decided to go off the grid. But what is your deal about using children for you're sick jokes."  The purple toned man glared at him from beneath the helmet.

"What do you mean?  I wanted to use Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to make my creatures more perfect.  The reason why I used my own granddaughter was because I knew that my son and daughter in law would be too narrow minded to truly understand my vision."  The man said back, but the milasecond that he had said that the hero plowed his fist into the helmet.

"What the hell is wrong with you!"  Peter shouted in pure anger after the blow, and then added three more punches and a round house kick to his neck.  "I thought you were just crazy of making beast people even though now I don't seem to bothered by that, but what gives you the rite to do that to Karin, to the twins."  He shouted after landing on both boots.

"Because I was in the right.  I am the High Evolutionary.  I have th rite to do anything that fits my goal."  The man shouted back and fired a mind punch, but he missed the warrior by a mile.

"And you're fine over what had happened to Karen, to Bromley, and everyone else."  The arachnid shouted back countering by firing twin web-lines(one on each shoulder), spun him in a one turn circular fashion, and then slammed him face first onto the floor.

"How dare you!"  He shouted in anger as he got his face out of the floor.  The dictator charged at him.  Ignoring the need to use his reflexes Spider-Man charged at him, and the two began changing blows without worrying about defense.

'Can't let him win.  Can't let the others get involved.'  Peter thought as the two butted heads.  As they clashed the back-up heroes were completely oblivious to what was happening to their friend.

"That was a great cat-nap."  The stripped warrior said as he stretched in traditional cat style, but while in the middle of that stretch he saw that his strength factor was staring at him strangely.  "Is there something wrong, Lady Ursula?"  He questioned with concern since as far as he's known her she never had this expression on her face before.

"Oh…uh nothing, Lord Tiger.  Nothing at all."  She answered back to him white trying to act as though nothing was out of the ordinary, and knew that he had suspected something.

'She is probably excited about dealing with our former leader.'  He thought and decided to tend to the others with a little bit of her help, "You check on Bromley and X-51.  I'll check on Jameson and Karin."  He instructed to his female friend.

"Very good, my lord."  She answered with a bow, grateful that he did not suspect her true motive of staring at him as he slept.  The bear and the tiger went into two different rooms: one to the medical room while the other went into the kitchen.

'Could he possibly snore any louder.'  Git thought as he was pacing around the kitchen floor while listening to his teammates nasal problem.  Due to what the good doctor has done to him he no longer needed sleep, but that didn't mean he was immune to those that could sleep.  'I think I know how to handle this.'  He thought as an idea struck in his head, but about that time the noble tiger had made his way to the doorway.

"What is he up to?"  The swords-cat questioned under his breath as he watched what the mummy was planning.  The rebel to the bearded one tore a small piece of his fingers off and stuffed them into his nose which seemed to make him breath normally until…

'Oh come on!'  The bondage blonde thought as he realized that the man snored louder through his mouth rather than his nose.  'That was hopeless.'  He thought before seeing his new found friend who simply jerked his head: a sign for them to follow him.  'Guess I should take this guy with me.'  He considered before slapping his head with the back of his hand.

"What!  What!  I'm up.  I'm up."  The green skinned man shouted in alarm after being slapped.  'What the?'  The man thought after realizing that it was clogged with paper.  "Not cool mi amigo."  He muttered after pulling them out, but instead of tossing them to the ground he instead did the polite thing and threw them in the trashcan.  "Wait up."  He called to Git before running over to the fellow hero.  Spider-Man was still hard at work for trying to beat up their sworn enemy.

'Geez, and here I was worried about his mind punches, but his real punches are painful too.'  Spider-Man thought after enduring a right punch to his ribs.  The two have been going at it in this fashion for two whole hours.

"I will not lose to the likes of you or any other weak human."  The enemy target shouted with rage before intertwining his fingers and shot one big mind punch which hit it's target: hard!

"Whate are you four doing?"  Lady Ursula what are you doing she questioned after entering the med-lab and saw that her two friends were playing Go Fish with the two former thugs.

"Oh, `ello, love."  The bomb expert said to the bear with a wave of his right hand before returning to the game.  "Don't get the wrong idea, knight, I still don't trust em, but I thought that this would be the best idea to keep an eye on them."  He explained to her, and that was when he heard something from Brock.

"Enough  stalling Bromley.  Do you have any 6's or not."  The former owner of the black suit shouted in anger after seeing the two talk.  The blonde bomber chose the card in question and tossed it on the table.

"I hate to tear you away from your game, but I believe Lord Tiger believes that it is time to attack, so come on."  She told them and walked off leaving the four a little confused over what she had just said, but decided to follow through with it.

"And just when I was about to win."  Kletus said to the others while everyone else knew that he was a long time away from winning their little game.

"Why don't you just go down."  The dictator demanded while firing a steady green stream from his left fist.

'Great so he can do something else with his mind punch instead of just firing one blast at a time.'  Spider thought while trying not to get hit, so he kept running straight ahead, wall- climbed up, and launched from the wall to him.  With the speed of his launch he connected to his face again.

"Do you not understand that no matter what you try I, the High Evolutionary, will survive?"  The man still safe in the armor questioned while getting up to his feet.  With a sigh he started the battle again, and prayed that the others still won't come.

"Colonel Jameson, it is time to…go."  The leader of the trio said, but stalled after seeing a strange sight even for him..

"Who's a good Colonel.  Who's a good Colonel.  Who's a good boy."  Karin said in a happy tone after finding her boss' ticklish spost as he stayed in his wolf form.  The tiger saw the happy wolf and a small part of his mind…a very tiny part wondered if his old friend would do the same for me.

"I hate to interrupt this moment, but it is time to attack."  The big cat said to the two after clearing his throat.  The two of them quickly looked at the doorway and saw the spectator; out of instinct the two of them stopped what they were doing and stood off the bed.

"Let's get going."  The descendent of the dictator said to the two men and walked out of the door.  The both of the males just stared at awkwardly and then nodded to one another before leaving a few paces behind her.  Back at the brawl Spider-Man wasn't doing so well by now.

"Okay.  I have come to a decision.  Taking this guy on by myself wasn't such a good idea."  Peter muttered after feeling a mind punch slam hard on his ribs.  The hero tumbled after the attack made a successful slam, but recovered and tried to impact web him like last time; the only thing was that he had anticipated that.

"Not this time."  He shouted at him before using his psychic powers to turn the attack back at the user.  Before Parker could do anything he found himself ensnared in his own webbing.

'This is embarrassing.'  Peter thought, but before he had the chance to break free he was struck by another mind punch which shattered the barrier/prison along with almost all of his ribs.

"So, you finally know you're place, Spider-Man.  At the foot of the ruler of this Earth."  The armored antagonist said to the hero, and then added, "Or better yet…under my heel."  With that said he drove his right heel on Parker's nearly finished body causing him to scream at the top of his lungs.

"No, no. This can't be right."  The white faced woman whispered to herself after reading the note that her lover.  Out of instinct and concern she sped away from the attic and headed downstairs: determined to aid him.  Her move did not go unnoticed as the other eight members saw her dash down the stairs, but it was her 'sister' that caught her.

"Where are you going?"  Ursula questioned to the humanoid rat in her arms.  She did not answer she simply started to struggle out of her friend's grip, and as she was doing that the note that was read earlier fell from her hand.

'What is this?'  The mummified mangler thought before picking it up, and glanced at it.  'This can't be true.'  He thought after reading that note.

"What is the problem, Git?"  The machine creature questioned even though that for some reason he already knew that it was going to be bad news.  In a reluctant fashion the man in question gave him the paper and prayed that the servos in the mechanical shell could take the news.

'Hey Guys,

        I know that you want to help out, but I think, no I know that this is the best thing to do.  Who knows we'll take each other out, and I can finally be free.

Signed,
The Spectacular Spider-Man'  The note said through X-51's mouth piece.

"Now you know why I am in a hurry.  Now release me."  Lady Vermin shouted with rage and struggled to get free.  A few moments into her struggling did she feel being released, but not completely.

"You're going, but not alone."  Jameson said to the mighty mouse while taking a few steps toward her.  "Not without us."  He added and started for the door, but as soon as he had his claw on the doorknob he instructed to the two eavesdropper.  "Naoko, Shane: you two stay here with the former symbiotes."  He instructed before racing away; the others right behind him.

"How are we going to get to him fast enough?"  The red head asked them as they ran to the van they came in.  After boarding with the cat as the driver, said driver seemed a little nervous after she asked that.

"You know how!  Don't you!"  The scavenger shouted after seeing his body language as he boarded the vessel.  This made her leader even more nervous, but he knew that this was the only solution to get to the hero in time.

"I do.  A highly experimental jet booster.  It will either get us there in no time at all, or…"  Their second leader said to them, but hesitated to finish.

"Don't keep us in suspense gov, what's after the 'or'?"  The bomb expert questioned to him sort of wanting an answer, but at the same time not wanting an answer.

"It could blow up before we get there, and Spider-Man will die alone."  He answered back to them after a sigh, but with a voice slightly higher than a whisper.  All of them were concerned by that option, but it was the third armored person that spoke out.

"If my love was here he would go for it if it meant defeating a madman."  She said to the others with determination.  Everyone on the vessel were shocked at her tone luckily their shock didn't last long.

"You heard her tiger.  Go for it."  The wolf said to the person to his left.  Out of fear he hesitated, but he swallowed his fear, lifted an A/C dial, and pressed a red button.  Before any of them knew what happened their vehicle went faster, really faster.

'Can't breath.  Everything's going dark.'  Spider-Man muttered as he had been on the receiving end of the High Evolutionary's attacks as long as the others been getting ready.

"Soon I will be done with you.  You annoying little bug."  He shouted out with a combination of rage and joy as he continued to pummel the warrior.  After several more fast paced kicks and punches the man in question stuck out both hands.  "Farewell, Spider-AAAAHHHH!"  He said but ended in a shout as a laser blast got him right in the face.

'Who blew the whistle?'  Peter thought as he was struggling to stay on his feet.  He was able to look over his right shoulder and saw that his friends were there, and battle ready.

"We got you're back, web-slinger.  Jameson said to the hero which left the mutated man confused.  Should he feel grateful that he was saved or should feel defeated that he had to be saved, but he had to save that thought for later since their mutual enemy was getting back on his feet.
