Spider-Man: No Way Home (Spider-Legacy #1)

Chapter 6 (Sub-Chapter 1)

Time slowed down as I charged against the Sandman, as my fellow Spidermen charged the other two villains. The huge face came towards me and I had no way of fighting it. I used my web to swing myself upward and go behind the face. As soon as the face missed me, it contracted, and there he was. Sandman.

Just how Tobey had described him. He was a normal middle aged man, but his hands were made up of sand. He looked at me and raised his fist. A bunch of sand from the construction site below rose up and mimicked his fist. He punched the air, and before I could fathom what was happening, the huge sand-fist punched me, causing me to fall directly on the roof of the building.

I manage to get up, and look around to see Tobey fighting Electro and Andrew engaged in combat with the Lizard. I did not have enough time to look for a long time as Sandman reached me and I had to engage him in a fist-fight. He tried to punch me but I kept dodging and swinging around him, landing a couple if kicks here and there.

I knew we were not going to be able to hold on for a long time. The fight continued for a while, my mind continuously going back to MJ and Ned below on the 5th floor. Suddenly, I saw that the villains were slowly drawing back. Sandman did not charge me and the other villains started going back to the edge of the roof. At that time three portals opened up, and they jumped back inside it, the portal closing up beside them before we could follow.

I rush back to the 5th floor to MJ and Ned, Tobey and Andrew following me closely. Thankfully, both of them were fine and rushed to me at the edge of the building as soon as I swung inside the 5th floor.

"You guys ok?" I ask.

"Yes!" MJ says before Ned can reply.

"By the way, where were you guys? And where is Strange?" I ask Tobey and Andrew.

"Let me Explain!" Andrew says, before Tobey picks up and says "Andrew will tell you guys everything."

"Ok then." I say.

"As soon as you and Gwen went away to check the Perimeter, two portals opened up and out came the Green Goblin and Doc Ock. We tried to engage them but they went straight after Strange. Doc Ock snarled him with his arms, and before we could do anything, they vanished inside one of the portals. We two engaged Green Goblin in a fight, and maybe you were too far away, or I don't know, we could not call you or Gwen. Goblin entered the other portal, and we followed him in hope of finding Strange. When we entered we saw we were in a open field, and Strange was fighting Doc Ock. Green Goblin was gone, and we rushed to help Strange. After sometime of fighting, Strange quickly opened up a couple of portals while we kept Ock busy. Strange said to go and help you, and we rushed inside the portal. Strange was still fighting Doc Ock while we came here. That's it."

"Damn man! That's clearly the divide and conquer rule. But what about Gwen? Where is she? " I ask.

"Here" a female voice came from behind us.

Gwen was there, her suit a little damaged, and her hood was missing. She removed her mask and smiled. There was a long scar through her face. Matt soon followed her in his Daredevil suit.

"Now where were you Gwen?" Tobey asked from beside me.

"Well, as I was watching the surroundings, Vulture appeared out of nowhere, and attacked me. I tried not to engage and get back to you guys, but he was too keen on fighting. And I thought, I had fought him before so why not now. Then Matt came up and we both fought together, and soon Vulture ran away. I wanted to follow, but Matt advised against it. Then Matt somehow located you guys and we came here."

"Hmm. As I said. 'Divide and conquer'. That's what they are doing." I say.

That's when another portal opened up beside us, and Strange stepped out. He looked a little bruised, but fine otherwise.

"We have to get to New York. Now." He said as soon as the portal closed up.
