Propelled by a mix of anger and determination, I swung toward Oscorp at a breakneck speed. Helicopters circled overhead, their bright lights illuminating the dark facade of the building. From the corner of my eye, I could see Otto, using his mechanical limbs, holding Norman precariously over the edge. His voice echoed with rage, demanding some sort of confession from the terrified man. Otto's antics were being broadcast live, and I spared a quick glance at my phone to follow the stream. With the building in sight, I pocketed my phone and focused on the task at hand.

As I neared the apex of Oscorp, I witnessed Otto's grasp on Norman loosen, and in an instant, the man was sent plummeting downward. Reacting quickly, I opened a portal right beneath Norman, catching him safely. Without missing a beat, I shifted him to a safer location on a neighboring building before creating another portal that led me back to the rooftop to confront Otto.

"The cure. Give it to me." I demanded, any semblance of humor or jest absent from my voice.

"You're targeting the wrong enemy," Otto retorted, a hint of pity in his eyes.

My gaze narrowed. "I don't care about picking sides right now. The only thing I care about is the cure. Hand it over," I growled, each word dripping with menace.

Otto's face twisted in irritation. "Very well," he responded, allowing his mechanical appendages to elevate him. With a sudden, violent movement, two of his arms hurtled down at me. I nimbly sidestepped, shooting webs to ensnare and immobilize them. However, one of the arms caught me off-guard, ensnaring me, while another surged forward threateningly. Using my momentum, I managed to intercept it, redirecting its force to smash into the limb holding me captive. With a loud clang, the two mechanical arms clashed together, the impact releasing me from Otto's grasp. I swiftly retaliated, launching a series of web-shots at his exposed torso, hoping to restrict his movement. But Otto was quicker. He expertly maneuvered his limbs, deflecting the incoming webbing.

Suddenly, from behind, a deafening explosion erupted. Both of us turned to see a portion of Oscorp's rooftop on fire. The distraction was all Otto needed. With unparalleled speed, one of his arms lunged at me, striking me squarely in the chest. The sheer force propelled me backwards, and I collided with a nearby ventilation shaft.

Gasping for breath, I struggled to rise, the pain in my ribs intense. Otto loomed over me, his mechanical arms writhing menacingly. He had the upper hand and he knew it. "This cure you so desperately seek," Otto sneered, holding up a vial filled with a glowing blue liquid, "is it worth your life?"

My vision blurred as I tried to focus on the vial. "More than you can imagine," I managed to reply, coughing. In a split second, I initiated a portal below me, placing its exit directly over Otto. Falling through, I launched a double-web shot at either side of him and yanked, propelling myself forward, feet first. The impact sent him sprawling. But Otto was far from defeated. Two of his arms darted out, gripping my wrists, while the others reeled me in.

"You're getting on my nerves." Otto growls.

"I have a knack for that." I reply.

"Not anymore." His retort was swift. The mechanical limbs slammed against my head and tightened, pressing against my temples with a crushing force. Darkness began to creep at the edges of my vision. Desperate, I shot webs to two electrical boxes, yanking them toward us. Electricity surged, jolting Otto, causing his grip to slacken. Seizing the chance, I dropped through a portal, reappearing above him, and delivered a spinning kick, knocking him back.

"Enough of these games!" Otto roared, lunging for Oscorp's satellite tower. He tore into it ferociously, sending fiery blasts in all directions. The rooftop became an inferno, forcing me to seek refuge on a nearby pole. With a manic energy, Otto hurled debris at me. Weaving through the air, I dodged the projectiles, eventually ensnaring one with my web and sending it hurtling back at him. It struck him off balance, allowing me to close the gap and land a solid blow. In a rapid succession, I shot webs at his chest, yanking him down, causing him to collide with the now cooling rooftop. The intense battle between us had taken its toll on Oscorp's rooftop. The once pristine helipad was now a smoky, charred mess, with debris scattered everywhere. The glinting lights of the city below seemed like distant stars, offering a stark contrast to the chaos above. My heart raced as I stared down at Otto, desperation clear in my eyes. The once brilliant scientist was now consumed with rage and revenge. As the helicopters circled overhead, their blinding lights bearing down on us, "You have no idea of the sacrifices I've made!" Otto screamed, his mechanical limbs writhing with intensity. With a powerful thrust, he lunged at me, his arms moving with lightning speed. I tried to dodge, but I was too slow. One of his limbs caught my side, sending a sharp pain through my body. I collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. As I tried to rise, Otto loomed over me, his menacing silhouette blocking out the helicopters' lights. "You think you can stop me? You think you can just take the cure and walk away?" he spat.
