A Spider's Hope (cross posted on fanfiction.net)

Chapter 7: the war in New York comes to Tokyo

An: sorry for the wait guys things have been pretty hectic recently. it may take a while to get chapters out due to my new job and college starting up again soon. anyway I'm pretty sure you guys didn't come to hear me complain about my life, so let's hop into it.

it's been a a couple weeks since our wonderful webhead saved the Lil Ultimates, dealt with Kraven, gained a couple new people on the Spidey squad as well as get a new suit and figured out that the master planner is lurking somewhere in the shadows waiting to make their next move... figuring out who it this master planner is is going to be one tough cookie. especially if they're dealing with Hydra and the criminals of New York City.

but that can wait till class is over. it was a pretty normal day, well as normal as it can get in Hope's peak. after that whole fiasco getting kidnapped by The mad Hunter and trapped on an island with dinosaurs... again, Sakura The Ultimate Martial Artist, offered to train Peter. seeing how much he was in a pickle dealing with a super steroid Hunter and having to be saved by his upper classmen riding a T-Rex, he agreed.

Peter laid on the ground huffing and puffing. 'man, even with very fast reflexes that was a challenge' he thought. "you lasted longer that time. why don't we take a break" the martial artist said.

"yeah, that's good with me." Peter said. Aoi ran to Peter and give him a water bottle. "wow, you did pretty good that time. soon you'll be able to kick butt." she said as she handed him the water bottle. "thanks Aoi" he said. "and thank you Sakura for offering to train me." he continued.

"after seeing how worried Aoi was I couldn't, just stand by." martial artist replied. "YES! BECAUSE I WAS WORRIED FOR A FRIEND!" said our favorite swimmer frantically trying to get her friend to be quiet. "anyway you owe me a donut for making me worry about you." Aoi said somehow being cute while pouting.

"Wow, you are getting better at fighting Peter!" said Chihiro excited while lifting dumbbells with Mondo and Leon. "thanks Chihiro, Looks like your doing pretty good yourself." Peter replied. Chihiro then looked at his watch "oh my gosh, I'm going to be late!" he quickly we gather his things and ran.

"what was that all about?" Peter asked.

"well... you see, he started asking me about asking a girl out. that was before Mondo walked in and stopped me from giving him a proper answer" Leon explained.

"I may not have much experience dating girls, but I can automatically tell that was terrible advice." Mondo said. "oh yeah, do you still yell when you're nervous?" Leon said.

"will you two brutes quit your pathetic squabble, I'm trying to read here" Byakuya said rather bluntly. "and besides, you two are clearly not the examples he should be going to for a romantic advice" he added.

"the hell did you say, you spoiled brat!" Mondo and Leon say at the same time. "Oh, yeah. like you could do better." Leon retorted. "I could, but such things are a waste of time for people like me" Byakuya said. "why are you even here? there is a library." Mondo asked. "let's just say, I was intrigued to see who our favorite programmer has his sights on, plus I made a bet with Celestia about it." Byakuya answered.

"it's great to see that he embraced who he is and faced his fears, as well as build enough courage to ask whoever it is out." Aoi said. "I have to agree with that, but I still can't help but wonder, who is it? what do you think Kyoko?" said/asked Makoto.

she put her gloved hand on her chin as she thought deeply for a few seconds. "I'd say it's one of three suspects. number one, ultimate nurse, Mikan Tsumiki. she reminds him of how he used to be and he wants to help her. number two, ultimate photographer, Mahiru Koizumi. she would acknowledge his attempts to be a better himself and his computer skills would help her edit photos. and number three would be, ultimate musician Ibuki Mioda. she seems like a pretty nice girl in her own way." the detective said.

"or he can be going out with all three of them." Hifumi suggested before being hit in the back the head by Leon's baseball pitch. "either way, for the bet I made with Byakuya I required to know who the lucky lady will be. are we sure it's not someone like Junko or Mukuro?" said Celestia. "Master's always right, j-just remember that Edward Cullen" said Toko.

"speaking of Junko. where is she?" asked Sayaka. "she said that she had to do a quick modeling gig for a major swimsuit company, but she shouldn't put that ahead of her education" Ishimaru said.

if only they knew the truth in actuality she was the Mastermind called The Master planner and she was just waiting for a certain events to swing into motion as well as tormenting The ultimate animator Ryota Mitarai into making something for her. save that for a truth bullet later.

"well whatever the case, I guess we all have things to do. this evening." said Peter. "Hey, Petey. before you go, do you wanna go jogging together tomorrow morning?" asked Aoi with her cheeks a little crimson. "yeah, sure why not. might as well get that exercise in." Peter said.

as Peter and the ultimate swimmer left the gym, Leon started asking everyone who they think is going to make the first move. Toko says something along the lines of they should just get a room and do a certain deed together.

Tokyo

"all right alter ego, what do you got for me?!" asked Spider-Man as he was swinging through the City. "there have been some break-ins recently and gang activity has been oddly silent." replied the artificial intelligence.

"really? well whatever it is, we'll have to solve it. speaking of solving do you know who Chihiro likes?" Peter asked. "I'm afraid that information is classified" alter ego said with a grin. "of course it is. do you think those break-ins and gang activity being quiet is somehow related?" Peter asked.

"it's possible, but it requires further analysis before jumping to that conclusion." alter ego said. he swinged around for a bit before he found a couple of people that were unconscious. "those tattoos! those indicate that they are members of the Kuzuryuu clan." explained alter ego. "wait, that name sounds familiar." said Peter.

"it should, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu is the ultimate Yakuza and is in the same class as most of the members of the Spidey squad." explained alter ego. Peter's eyes widened as he heard that explanation. "I honestly didn't think that would be considered a ultimate talent." he said. just then, a black blur rushed by. 'wait a second this seems oddly familiar. could it be..?' Peter thought. he chase the mysterious figure to a construction site.

after realizing they've been cornered, the figure turned around. "been a while, spider. so how's Japan's treating you?" the figure said. "you know not too bad. so what you doing in Japan, stealing samurai armor or something? what's the black cat doing these days felicia?" Spider-Man asked.

"let's just say Fisk hired me to do a job. if you want the rest of the details you're going to have to catch me. come on, it'll be like old times. your it!" Felicia Hardy aka the black cat explained before jumping off a steel beam.

"wait, you know her?" asked alter ego. "let's just say after Gwen died I was in a tough bitter spot and she helped me on a few occasions .we dated for a bit. I thought she was trying to go straight last time I checked in on her. she must be very desperate" Peter explained as he was chasing her.

An: all right I think I'm going to wrap this chapter up here for today. and I will start part 2 later. thank you guys for reading and have a fantabulous rest of your day
