Emerald

Fourteen.

The whole of Peter's class were currently toward a double-decker bus from a tour bus company called, "London Sightseers". The Bus Driver is shown outside holding a sign that reads, "MIDTOWN HIGH", and shows Midtown School of Science and Technology's seal.

"Look at this!" Mr. Harrington squeaked out.

"Mr. Harrington. Come on. This is your bus." Said the bus driver.

"We've got a bus all to ourselves!"

"Nice to see you all. Come along." The bus driver helped them onto the bus. Kids hand the man some backpacks ad they climb kn. The bus driver, who is actually one of Beck's workers, presses a button on an earpiece in his ear.

"I have the kids."

-----

"Okay, people, no Avengers coming. We're good to go. William, launch the drones." Beck said, barking out orders at everyone. "Poet?"

"What?" She asked, her accent returning for the first time in a long time.

"You know what you're doing, right?"

"Protect you at all costs. Because you cannot protect yourself and you're frightened that you maybe Spider-Man isn't dead." She chuckled.

"E.D.I.T.H.?" He grumbled.

"Yes, Quentin."

"Show me my loose ends." Holograms showing Nick Fury and Maria Hill show up, then switch to Betty, MJ, and Ned. "Once the show's going, execute a kill order on my command."

"Copy."

"Alright, start the show. Let's save the world, people."

-----

"I don't like this. Something's definitely up." MJ said, watching the cloud gather above her head.

"You're an FOS now. "Friend of Spider-Man." And you have to remember, just stay calm." Ned examine flies he was the expert. Thunder can be heard rumbling off in the distance and suddenly, a crash of thunder is heard as Ned and MJ quickly look to their left. Storm clouds begin to descend from the top of a building.

"That doesn't look good." MJ said again.

"But it's fake, so there's nothing to worry about."

-----

"Okay. Fury's got the coded message. Your friends are at the Tower Bridge." Happy said, satisfied that he would get it.

"Okay." Peter replied.

"Your boy called it the London Bridge, but I figured it out. I'mma go scoop them up, okay?"

"Yeah."

"We're close. How's the suit comin'?"

"Almost done." Peter said.

"Good."

"Wait, wait, whoa, whoa. Before you go..." Peter pulls out the Black Dahlia necklace. "If something happens to me, could you please give this to Poet?"

"You're gonna make it back. You'll give it to her yourself. 'Kay? You got this."

"I got this."

"Now walk me through it."

-----

Ned and MJ are still worrying on the bus. The storm has nearly surrounded the Tower Bridge and lightning hits the top of the structure, causing sparks to fly out. Ned and MJ look toward where the lightning came from. Shouts and screams can be heard in the distance. The wind begins to pick up and thunder crashes can be heard. Mr. Harrington walks down to the first deck of the bus and makes his way to the driver's seat.

"Sir, is it still safe on the top, or should we all-" Mr. Harrington realizes that there's no bus driver to be found. "-come down? Oh, my." Mr. Harrington walks up to the top deck, panicked.

"What did the bus driver say?" Mr. Dell asked.

"Bus driver's gone."

"What?! Where?!"

"It's okay. Mr. Dell and I have it under control! Okay?" Mr. Harrington assured the students.

"No, no, no. Don't drag me into this, Roger." Mr. Dell said.

"I'm doing my best, Julius!" Mr. Harrington said back. A giant mass of water in the Thames River near the Tower Bridge rises up. "Oh! The witches are back." Mr. Harrington turns and realizes that it's an Elemental.

"Oh, my God, get off the bus!" He yells. Mr. Harrington and the rest of his class quickly rush down the stairs to the second deck and out of the bus. The road on both sides is jammed as everyone has abandoned their vehicles. Debris is flying around and sparks and smoke can be seen on the roads. People are running in both directions off the bridge. Three cyclones of water are seen emerging from the River. A motorcycle zips by Mr. Harrington, causing him to halt briefly. "Okay. Okay, follow me, kids." Screams can be heard. Lightning strikes a nearby vehicle, sending sparks out. Students follow their teacher. Flash attempts to capture everything that's happening around him on his livestream. Some people are seen exiting their vehicles. Betty and Ned hold hands as they run away. MJ is following behind them. A lightning strikes their tour bus, tipping it over and spewing debris, sparks, and smoke in all directions. A water cyclone grabs hold of the tour bus and destroys it causing a massive explosion. The Elemental as it loudly roars. Brad suddenly notices something and becomes excited.

"Hey, look, it's Mysterio!" He called. "He's gonna save us!" The class is elated and cheers for Mysterio as he shoots a green laser beam at the Elemental's head. MJ looks worried.

"Wait, Mysterio knows we know..." She said to Ned.

"Then we're in danger." He answered.

"Yeah, and so are they." She turned to everyone else. "We should go!" Betty, Ned and MJ quickly run away. Flash is recording the attack when he notices them leaving and quickly follows them.

"Kill that witch! Pa-pow!" Mr. Dell cheers. Mysterio shoots a green laser beam at the chest of the Elemental. The Elemental attempts to crush Mysterio with its hands, however Mysterio creates a green force field, fouling its efforts. The force field explodes and Mysterio flies upwards, away from its grasp.

"This is for my family!" Mysterio yells, sending a green beam that splits into various laser beams that impact the right side of the head of the Elemental. "You should get somewhere safe, Fury. I don't see this ending well." Beck said to Fury, through radio, acting panicked

"I appreciate your concern, but I never leave my men behind." Fury senses that something is off as what Beck is saying makes no sense at all. He turns to Maria Hill. "See, now, that's some bullshit." Maria Hill sighs, but she notices something up in the sky and begins walking toward the window.

"Is that...?" Fury notices it too. It's revealed to be Spider-Man, diving toward the Elemental from above.

"Be ready for anything." Fury said, looking toward the sky at Spider-Man.

"Yeah."

-----

Spider-Man drops low enough and ejects his parachute and uses his web wings to glide toward the Elemental illusion.

"Ah. It's not real, it's not real, it's not real!" Peter told himself, entering the illusion, crashes into one of the combat drones that was projecting the Elemental and holds onto it, looking all over in awe at the illusion. "Whoa. That's awesome." Peter witnesses hundreds of drones projecting the Elemental. He uses his webbing to stick onto the drone he was holding on. He flips onto another drone, linking them with his webbing. He flips from one drone to the next, continuing to link them with his webbing.

-----

"William, I've got drones breaking formation." Beck growls. "Poet, go fix it!"

"What do you want me to do?!" She snapped. "I'm not going in there!" From within the massive Elemental illusion, a drone turns around. From his wrist screen, Beck sees Peter webbing up the drones. "Oh dear." She laughs.
