Chapter 19: getting serious..?
As William was dealing with his injuries, Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy walked hand in hand through the bustling streets of Manhattan, Spider-Man's spider-senses were on high alert. He had been feeling a sense of unease all day, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
Suddenly, a maniacal laugh echoed through the air, and Spider-Man's head snapped towards the sound. That's when he saw him - the Green Goblin, standing on the rooftop of a nearby building, his eyes glowing with an otherworldly energy.
"Ah, Spider-Man!" the Green Goblin cackled, his voice dripping with malice. "I've been waiting for you! And you've brought your little girlfriend along for the ride. How quaint!"
Gwen's eyes widened in fear as she clung to Spider-Man's arm. "What do we do?" she whispered.
Spider-Man's eyes never left the Green Goblin as he pushed Gwen behind him. "Don't worry, Gwen. I've got this."
With a fierce cry, the Green Goblin launched himself off the rooftop, his glider swooping down towards Spider-Man and Gwen. Spider-Man sprang into action, his spider-senses guiding him as he leapt out of the way just in time.
The Green Goblin's glider crashed to the ground, sending debris flying everywhere. Spider-Man quickly pulled Gwen to safety, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of the Green Goblin.
But the Green Goblin was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a trail of smoke and flames led off into the distance, beckoning Spider-Man to follow.
"What's going on?" Gwen asked, her voice trembling with fear.
Spider-Man's eyes narrowed. "I don't know, but I'm going to find out. Stay here, Gwen. I'll be right back."
With a fierce determination, Spider-Man set off in pursuit of the Green Goblin, ready to face whatever dangers lay ahead.
Spider-Man was swinging through the streets of Manhattan, his spider-senses on high alert. He had been tracking the Green Goblin for hours, following a trail of clues and hints that had led him deeper and deeper into the city.
As he turned a corner, Spider-Man's eyes locked onto the Green Goblin's glider, soaring through the air. The Goblin himself was perched on the glider, his eyes gleaming with maniacal intensity.
"Ahahahaha! Spider-Man!" the Green Goblin cackled, his voice echoing through the streets. "You'll never stop me! My plan is already in motion!"
Spider-Man's spider-senses tingled with alarm. What plan was the Green Goblin talking about? And what did it have to do with him?
With a fierce cry, Spider-Man launched himself at the Green Goblin, his webs shooting out to ensnare the villain. But the Green Goblin was too quick, and he dodged the webs with ease.
Spider-Man was hot on the Green Goblin's heels, chasing him through the streets of Manhattan. The Green Goblin's glider was fast, but Spider-Man was faster, his spider-senses guiding him through the crowded streets.
Just as Spider-Man thought he had the Green Goblin cornered, the villain suddenly dodged to the side, avoiding Spider-Man's webs. Spider-Man quickly recovered, but the Green Goblin had already made his escape.
Unbeknownst to Spider-Man, the Green Goblin's henchmen had been watching from the shadows. They saw their chance and snatched Aunt May from the sidewalk, dragging her away into the night.
Aunt May struggled and kicked, but the henchmen were too strong. They tossed her into a waiting van, which sped away into the night.
Spider-Man, still chasing after the Green Goblin, had no idea that his aunt had been taken. He was too focused on stopping the Green Goblin and putting an end to his evil plans.
But as he finally managed to corner the Green Goblin, he received a shocking message that made his blood run cold...
The Green Goblin's eyes gleamed with triumph as he sent a message to Spider-Man's comms device.
"You'll never stop me, Spider-Man!" the message read. "I have Aunt May, and if you want to see her alive again, you'll do exactly as I say."
Spider-Man's heart sank as he read the message. He knew that the Green Goblin was capable of anything.
"What do you want me to do?" Spider-Man typed back, trying to stall for time.
"I want you to expose your true identity to the world," the Green Goblin replied. "If you don't, Aunt May dies. You have one hour to comply."
Spider-Man's mind reeled in horror. He had always protected his secret identity, but now he was faced with an impossible choice.
While Spiderman was dealing with rescuing with the rescue and potential capture of green goblin his brother was just finishing his recovery from his Danger Room training.
After his Danger Room training William was resting in his room when he got bored and turned on the TV to entertain himself, as he flips through the channels a local news station caught his attention.

Stay tuned for further updates as this breaking news story continues to develop."
William shot up.. it was clear from the video feed exactly who was taken by green goblin and he wasn't about to let his brother handle this alone especially given the goblins sadistic and cunning nature.
William dons his cracked armor and begins to head out when he hears a voice in his mind
"William I've seen the new cast, please be careful I have a bad feeling about this so ill be sending a few X-men as backup! - Professor Xavier"
William thinks for a second!
"Professor please be quick that's my mother out there and i don't know what will happen if she gets hurt! - William"
William charges down the hall deftly dodging students who couldn't react before a blur blasted past them causing a few pieces of paperwork to fly around the hall causing a momentary uproar, as William heads down the stairs and nears the exit he can see a few of the older X-men getting prepared!
"It's Wolverine, Colossus, Iceman and some guy with angel wings! - William thinks"
William doesn't have time to stop and say hi, the door nearly goes flying off its hinges as William charges through shoulder first and starts flying, slowly at first but soon began to travel at subsonic speed!
The roar of air braking echoes across the city landscape causing people to want to cover their ears and soon he is hovering over the middle of New York like an avenging angel trying to get a grip on where exactly he needed to go and soon, he got his wish.
the sound of police sirens soon enters Wills ears and to his worry the sound of explosions and the screams of civilians soon followed!
William rushed toward the sounds of sirens and as he looked on from Above and saw the police chasing an armored van with little success and William decided to help out.
William was about to descend when a helicopter came from ahead and began shooting the police cruisers with a mounted machine gun and soon bullets turned closest cruisers into Swiss cheese before they exploded causing the 4 cruisers behind them to take evasive maneuvers down different streets which gave the armored van and the accompanying helicopter some time to get further away but before they could become too happy that they got away with their lives and prisoner intact the driver looked to his right and saw a flying person looking at him with eyes that screamed murder!
William pressed his hand onto the windshield and applied pressure!
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Shatter!"
The glass shattered causing thick shards of glass to pierce the face of the driver!
"Ahhhhhhhh my face you destroyed my face! - Goblins Driver"
the man lost control of the van and caused it to crash into a nearby parked vehicle effectively totaling both vehicles!
the helicopter soon noticed that the van it was escorting was no longer driving and was in fact crashed and began to circle back with the gunner preparing to fire if needed but before they could get halfway to their target a flash of green light appears in William's hand, and he launches it into the helicopter's propellers to not cause unnecessary explosions and soon the helicopter crash lands on the roof of a nearby building!
"Crash!"
the helicopter blades grinded to a halt against the rooftop and the door opened as the pilot and the gunners escaped with their weapons in tow.
"Whoosh.. Thunk!"
They saw an armored stranger land in front of them with a burning fury clearly displayed on his face and pulled their guns on him!
"Who the hell is this guy OPEN FIRE! - Pilot"
they opened fire on the stranger with pure killing intent.
the roar of gunfire and ricocheting Bullets echoes over the rooftops as they do their absolute best to shoot down the armored stranger!
"Brrrttt!"
"Brrrttt!"
"Brrrttt!"
William circles the men like a bird circling a carcass with a speed that seemed to create afterimages that the Shooters were aiming at, and as he completes his third circle, he opens his hand to charge up a ki blast in his hands and when it completes William rushes to the center of the two men.
"Whoosh!"
The two men's faces turned a pale sheet of white when they saw the glowing green energy appear between them
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaa! - William roared"
William extended his arms towards both gunners and turning the ki blast into a purely kinetic wall of force that sent the two criminals flying in opposite directions and the pilot completely lost his weapon which flew off the side of the roof!
Before the pilot could recover, he felt the Cold Grip of someone's hand grabbing his face and he was lifted off the ground to the point his toes were barely touching the ground.
William stared coldly into the Pilots eyes and asked!
"I'm only going to ask once.. Where is the hostage? - William said with barely contained fury"
the man began to shake as the pressure on his face slowly began to increase.
"I.. I..I don't know what you are referring to - the pilot said nervously"
William squeezed the man's face with increasing pressure!
"Ahhhhhhh stop, stop my face AHHH! - Pilot cried"
the gunner on the other side finally came to and noticed his Conrad being brutalized on the other side so he struggled to lift his machine gun and pointed it to the back of William!
"Brrrttt!"
"Brrrttt!"
A burst of bullets crashed against the armored back of William and bounced off into random directions but one managed to slip through the crack in William's shoulder armor causing crimson to stain the cloth around it!
"Oh, I almost forgot about you, how rude of me! - William"
William seemed to disappear in the gunner's perspective and as he looked around, he felt a cold shiver down his spine when green ghostly light appeared behind him but before the man could react he felt the light crash into him from behind turning him into a human pretzel for a few seconds as he tumbled to the other side of the roof with his eyes rolled back into his head clearly unconscious!
the pilot across from him started panicking and began to mumble and beg
"Please don't kill me, we are just the distraction to keep the cops away from spiderman! - Pilot"
William took a step toward the panicking man who had begun to relieve himself subconsciously in fear!
"What do you mean a distraction... Where is the hostage? - William"
William charged a glowing green ball of energy and held it to the man's face to instill an increased amount of fear!
"TELL ME!!! - William"
the man began to shake and soon he opened his mouth.
"There was a second van, we switched the hostage at the halfway point before the police showed up! - Pilot"
William glared furiously at the man
"Where did they take her? - William"
he pushed the energy ball closer to the man's face to the point he started feeling the heat.
"Off the books Oscorp warehouse in the waterfront.. please don't kill me! - the pilot begged"
William thought for a half second and spoke.
"Okay, but not because you asked! - William"
William absorbed the ki blast back into his body before picking the man up by his leg and flying towards the remaining police sirens!
"AHHHHH! -Pilot"
William dropped the man in front of a police barricade however the police all immediately pulled their firearms on him.
"This man was involved with a kidnapping; you should restrain him! - William"
William began flying toward the Waterfront warehouses in haste, the afterimage of his figure left the police speechless!
"Who the hell is that guy, last thing this city needs is another vigilante! - Police sergeant"
the sound of explosions in the city soon receded as William moved to save his mother, he is flying slowly over the warehouses as he looks for a specific vehicle to confirm the location and he sweeps his senses over the buildings but so far, he has found nothing which causes William to become deeply nervous and he speeds up!
suddenly William senses the life force of nineteen people one of which was flickering like it was beginning to go out and William focused on the building
"It was a very understated building, clearly designed in a way that draws attention elsewhere"
William floats near a skylight to get a better view and can hear what's going on inside!
"The dirty bitch bit me, of course I had to teach her a lesson hahahaha! - criminal "
the man was holding a bloodstained knife
"We needed her as a hostage, now all we have is a corpse, you are a fucking idiot! - Criminal"
the Second criminal shook the First Criminal by his shoulder, and he could only chuckle as he removed the hands of the second criminal and looked at the female hostage who was looking weaker and weaker by the second!
"She is still warm you know we could have some fun! - First Criminal"
they both grinned and the rest of the men all began to look forward to having some fun, but before they could get the woman's clothes off completely the doors came flying off!
"Boom!"
The door struck several of the men who definitely broke some ribs from the impact the remaining men all pointed firearms at the intruder who has yet to become visible and began firing with reckless abandon.
"Brrrttt!"
"Brrrttt!"
"Brrrttt!"
"Brrrttt!"
Copious amounts of gunfire spit through the air and sped through the smoke and dust and hit absolutely nothing!
the remaining men lined up in front of the door while the two in charge stayed with the hostage and the perverted one began to fondle the chest of Aunt may, the man clearly expects to still have some fun
green ki balls appeared on both sides of the warehouse unbeknownst to the criminals on the inside and William walks through the destroyed entrance with his eyes glowing green with fury and energy.
"Well look who it is... some guy? we were expecting spiderman you see! - Criminal one said as he continued to fondle the breast of aunt may"
the man licks his lips sadistically.
"Kill him so we can have our fill of this whore! - Criminal two stares menacingly at her womanly curves"
The men are about to pull the trigger, but before the do so William gestures with his left hand and the green orbs on either side of the building come rushing through the metal and brick building like a knife through butter and pushed the lined-up criminals in the center before they are pressed to the point of unconsciousness!
William dissipates the blasts and turns his head to the last two conscious criminals!
"D..Don't come closer, we will kill her if you take a single step closer! - Criminal one"
He points the blade of his knife to the pale neck of the barely conscious woman and a small drop of blood started dropping down her chin and suddenly that was all William saw!
"RED!"
"BLOOD!"
"RED!"
"MOM!"
Pure panic and grief is overshadowing the absolute anger he was displaying before and William stopped moving closer.
the criminal with a knife gestured to his companion
"Beat him to death with that pipe wrench over there! - Criminal one"
William eyed the man as he neared with the weapon and braced himself for a beating not really knowing how to proceed from here!
"You think you can just walk in here and cause us trouble and there won't be consequences? - Criminal two"
the man sneers as he finally starts to swing
"Crack!"
William dropped to his knee and grunted in pain as the man continued to pummel him.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Blood began to drip from William's head as he was beginning to lose consciousness, aunt may who was still awake saw all this and started to cry silently as she took in the situation!
She looked to the man who was still fondling her breast with a knife loosely held against her neck to avoid accidentally killing her.
"Crack!"
She has no choice Aunt May reached up and bit down on the knife hand of the criminal holding her hostage
"AHHHHHHHHHH YOU BITCH! - Criminal One"
He pulled his hand back accidentally slitting her throat and she collapsed to the ground twitching and choking on her own blood!
the criminals pause... they were supposed to hold her for ransom but now that was ruined but all of a sudden storm clouds appear in the sky and lightning arcs across the sky accompanied by the sound of thunder.
The man who was beating William had a bad feeling he looked down and the glowing green eyes he saw nearly scared him out of his skin!
"Wh..what..what the hell ar.." the man began to say but before he could finish the sentence his vision goes black!
William grabbed the head of the man and planted it inside the concrete floor causing spiderweb cracks to appear throughout the warehouse and William didn't notice that his hair was standing on end with a green overtone but not completely green
the criminal began to panic as he no longer had a hostage to guarantee his survival
William points the palm of his hand at the man who started to beg for his life, but it all fell on def ears and William began gathering his ki into several small orbs in his hand!
"You are going to pay! - William"
several small balls of energy blasted through the man over and over again!
"AHHHHHHHHH! - Criminal"
the man collapsed to the floor after the orbs finally disappeared, he was barely alive much to William's fury, but he needed to save his mom!
"Mom.. mom, please hang on help is coming! - William"
William pressed his hand against the wound to attempt to stifle the blood flow, but the wound was too big, Lifeblood was flowing like a river and soon William was drenched in the blood of the one of the people he loves the most!
"My baby boy.. when did you get so strong? - aunt may"
her eyes were slowly closing, and her grip was weakening
"I love you and peter more than my whole world! - Aunt may"
her grip fell apart, and the woman finally stopped breathing
"Mom, you can't be dead.. this is a joke right please tell me this is a joke! - William cried"
lightning struck the warehouse painting the surroundings blinding white for a moment and Williams green energy began to spike and engorge and his green/black hair finally turned fully green!
William's pupils were nowhere to be seen, he had a fierce snarl on his face as he rose to his feet and roared.
"ROOOOOAAAAARRR!"
The roar was accompanied by a wave of energy that cause a local blackout for a second and soon the sight of a glowing green man was seen flying toward the city in fury with speeds that caused glass to begin to crack!
He was coming for the Green Goblin and this time he was serious!
