Several blocks away, Bumbler flies above the city, searching high and low for their common foe while Rhino stampeded through the streets in search of the web head. "Where are ya you stupid bug! Come out so I can squash ya!" Rhino bellowed out, smashing into a car, sending it flying into the air and crashing back into the ground with a harsh crash.

"Yes shout out your intentions. That should drag him out." Bumbler shouted at Rhino with sarcasm. Of course he was gonna want to kill Spider-Man. But he knew he'd have to be patient, wait for him to come to them. So that's what he did, all while extending his weapons out to prepare for Spider-Man's inevitable arrival. After all, he wouldn't leave innocent civilians to die.

Not long after, Spider-Man lands on top of Bumbler's back. "Surf's up!" He joked, using his adhesive abilities to stay on him.

The bumblebee themed assassin was having a difficult time trying to stay airborn the way the superhero was staying on him. But he was still doing his best no matter how much he struggled. Although, his biggest issue......he couldn't shoot Spider-Man at this angle. If he fires his bee stingers, they'd miss. If he shot honey out, there was a high chance Spider-Man would jump off and trap himself instead. So he spun in an attempt to get him off. "Get off of me you meddling insect!"

"I'm offended by this nickname! Spiders aren't insects. I thought you were an expert on insects you fool! Guess I'll just have to punish you." Will joked before trying to punch Bumbler's wing covered jetpack to destroy it. However, it didn't break..... This one was much more durable than the last.

"Did you honestly believe I would let you destroy my jetpack this time? I will not let you defeat me the same way twice in a row." Bumbler said coldly, getting ready to spin again.

"Well if that's the case, then you won't mind if I drive then." The wall crawler quipped, immediately grabbing the assassin by his arms and yanking them to the right, steering his body to the right. Before Bumbler could react, he'd smash into a wall, skidding on it for a couple of seconds, and scratching his armor little by little. The superhero would repeat this action a few times before running into Rhino, slamming into his body. Of course Spider-Man jumped off at the right moment and stuck on a building.

Rhino grunted lightly from the impact, but didn't let himself get too hurt due to his massive size. "There you are you annoying bug." He said with obvious malicion, picking up cars and throwing them at Spider-Man.

Spider-Man, seeing the cars, jumps off the rooftops and webs the cars safely, suspending them in the air. "Thanks but no thanks. I'm much more of a web swinger than a car guy." He joked, landing in front of Rhino and punching him in the face a couple of times.

Rhino barely reacted, his massive frame much more durable. "That the best you got web head?" He asked mockingly, punching the wall crawler as hard as he can. But of course, Spider-Man was too fast and was able to dodge the attacks as if they weren't there.

"Oh yeah? I'm waiting for you to actually hit me!" Spidey mocked, landing just in front of Bumbler, who seemed ready to fire honey out at Spider-Man from behind. But of course, his spider sense warned him of the threat.

Rhino rushed forward, head lowered to skewer the wall crawler, but Spider-Man quickly jumps and dodged out of the way. At the same time, Bumbler fired his honey at the ground, missing where Spider-Man was. When Rhino stepped on the honey, his right foot was stuck, and his left foot accidentally kicked Bumbler hard and sent him flying. "Watch where you fire that thing you stupid bee!" Rhino shouted with annoyance.

"Why don't YOU stop and watch where you're running you insufferable bugs?!" Bumbler shouted back, showing frustration towards his partner.

Spider-Man smirked as he lands behind Rhino, punching him harder in the face and causing him to fall hard on the ground on his butt. "Gee, you two don't seem to be getting along well. Did you two consider doing some bonding exercises before you punched in?" Spidey joked as he kicks his leg then his jaw with gracefully agility.

Rhino grunted from each hit he took, realizing his hits were actually harder than before. Enough to actually hurt. This hero was pulling his punches earlier on purpose! Out of rage, he tore his foot out of the honey and stampeded toward him. "YEAH! IT'S GONNA BE CALLED KILLING SPIDER-MAN!" He screamed out in visible frustration.

Behind Spider-Man, Bumbler was floating above the ground, stingers at the ready, and immediately Spidey jumped in the air to dodge them. "I'd work on the title if I were you. You could do better." He joked as he slams down on Bumbler, sending him crashing into the ground before diving to the side.

As Rhino zips past Spider-Man, he heard the sound of metal being crushed under his massive foot, but couldn't stop himself in time. But when he finally did stop and turned to where the sound came from, he sees Bumbler on the ground, his jetpack completely crushed, and his suit short circuiting. "Rhino you bumbling towering idiot! You ruined my suit!" He shouts with rage.

"Damn here I thought your suit would last a bit longer. They just don't make armor like they used to." Will quipped before webbing him to a nearby wall, assuring he couldn't escape.

Bumbler struggles in vein, trying to get free of this trap. "You planned this....you used our defeat. You calculated everything to the wire....." He then said with dawning realization.

"Of course. You didn't exactly make it difficult to figure out how to beat you." Spidey joked as he looks at Rhino. 'Now for the difficult part of my plan......' He thinks to himself, web swinging away from the rhinosarous themed supervillain, who was chasing after him with rage and the intent to kill. "He was right about you. You ruined his gear. How do you expect to pay for property damages?" He quipped.

Rhino roared in anger as he gets led to a construction sight nearby, charging forward to hit his spider foe. "How?! By selling your corpse to whoever will buy it when I'm done with you!" He shouts out, missing Spider-Man by a wide margin.

The rookie superhero then lands in front of a wall, stanced as if ready to attack. "Well c'mon then you big grey lug. What are you waiting for? An invitation? For your face to look attractive. Because I got news for you. In your current state? That's a lost cause. At least in your old self you had somewhat of a chance." He mocked openly.

That set Rhino over the edge, charging forward with his horn, and of course, missing, causing him to slam into a nearby wall. But he immediately charged toward to hit the web slinging superhero. But just before his horn could touch him, he was suddenly stopped, stuck to the ground by both feet this time. "What the- I can't move! What the hell did you-"

"Webbed the ground before you got to that spot. Figured you wouldn't mind standing still for a minute." The superhero said calmly, smirking under his mask.

"Yeah well, you're too tiny to really knock me out. What can you possibly do to-" before Rhino could finish his question, he heard something creaking.....as if something big a metal was swinging toward him. What he saw next was a massive wrecking ball speeding toward him....the wall he crashed into..... it released the wrecking ball and let it swing freely.

"Figured you defeated Bumbler for me. Why not let you defeat.....you?" Spidey joked as he takes a few steps back, away from the wrecking ball.

Rhino glares at the rookie superhero, annoyed by him, but he knew he couldn't do anything. Even if he could get his feet free, he'd get hit by the wrecking ball before he could truly react. "I hate you. So.....so much." He grumbled before getting slammed by the wrecking ball and sent flying into the air.

"Figured you'd appreciate seeing things from Bumbler's usual perspective!" Spider-Man then joked as he webs his massive foe back to him then slams his frame into the ground, and webs him to the ground. That's four of his supervillains down. All that was left now was Soundwave and Mantis before dealing with Doc Ock. So he swung ahead, ready to face the next challenge ahead of him.

(Editor's note: yeah....kinda shorter chapter, but it makes sense to do so if you ask me. Hope you're enjoying so far! :3)
