Spider-Man: Keep No Secret

Night of Moonlight

(October 24th)

"Hey, Ned, how's it hanging", Peter asked? He was hanging upside down from a web.

"Yeah, I am out as Spider-man right now", Peter replied. "What am I doing? Oh, I'm hanging upside down & talking to you, I'm bored, nobody is robbing banks or stealing any cars".

"Maybe you're not looking hard enough for crime to stop", Peter said in a mocking tone. "No you're being a child".

"No you are", Peter said.

"Alright, alright, Ned, let's be adults about this", Peter said as he jumped off the web & sat down on the ledge of a fire escape. "Hey, I was thinking about calling it a night & maybe i could swing over to your house & spend the night, my dads already think that's what I'm doing anyways".

"Thanks, Ned, I'll be there in an hour", Peter said. He hung the phone up & put it away.

He jumped off the fire escape & started to swing away. But as he swung above the buildings, he saw a blue explosion across the city.

"Son of a bitch", Spider-man said as he started to swing in the direction of the explosion.

He opened his web-gliders as he swung through the opening of a building. He swung from building to building at remarkable speeds & flinging himself around corners. He got to the sight of the explosion quickly, landing on top of a building across the street.

A tanker truck had exploded & Sider-man saw some old friends of his.

"Hey, Snakehead loser", Spider-man yelled out as jumped down from the building, he shot a web & started to swing at them.

As Spider-man swung closer to them, a blade was thrown at him, it missed Spider-man by a long shot, but it slashed through his web & sent Spider-man falling to the ground.

Spider-man caught himself. He shot a web & swung to the building across the street. He jumped up with a web shot to the building, he swung close to the ground, kicking a masked villain to the ground. He let go of the web & dropped to the ground.

One man pulled out a long rod, but energy surged from his hand & up the rod, a battle ax head formed at the top of the rod. Another man pulled out two rods that turned into a set of swords. A woman grabbed out her rods & those turned into double ended swallow axes. The last woman had an energized shield & warhammer. And the last man had two rods that sprouted long neuronic whips.

"Come on guys, can you at least tell me your names, that way after I turn you into the police, I can give them your weird alter ego names", Spider-man said as he took a few steps back. "I'll call the guy with the double swords... um, Ronin, like the samurai".

Ronin & the four others charged at Spider-man.

"The guy with the battle ax, I'm going to name you Poleaxe", Spider-man said. He jumped back & barely dodged a slash from the words of Ronin. "I'm calling the girl with blades at the end of the staff, Warden".

Spider-man jumped back as Poleaxe brought down his battleax, just barely missing Spider-man as it crashed into the cement pavement. But as Spider-man jumped back, he landed in front of the other girl. She planted her feet & charged the shield with glowing energy, then she struck the shield against Spider-man's back.

The blow stunned Spider-man but he quickly got up to his feet, though he was quickly wrapped in the whips & trapped.

"By me dinner first... Whiplash", Spider-man said. "Oh, no, that one is taken already... what about Thrasher"?
