A Spider That Can Survive

The beginning of a Legacy

The bright moon sat in the night sky peacefully, as the gleaming, lit up city of New York continued to hustle and bustle well into the night as a traffic jam in Times Square kept the epicenter of Manhattan busy and packed as usual.

Suddenly the slow pace of traffic in the large metropolis came to a screeching halt, as several cars flipped over crashing near a small downtown mall, as several people ran outside of the tall building in fear.

"It's a rhino!" An older woman shouted in fear as she scurried through the street along with several others, other people panicking and backing away as a big man in a rhino costume hoofed out of the New York mall.

"I swear, paydays getting smaller everyday." The New York ruffian said loudly to himself as the rhino villain began to stuff stolen jewels and gems in his costume. "Now, onto-," was all the Rhino could say before several webs shot into his eyes and mask, as a red foot came barreling down into the mans face, the force sending Rhino into a shop window violently, glass shattering and now more people aware of the chaos were running in panic.

The Rhino got up and began to claw at the webs and angrily shouted out, "Who the hell did that?" The villains eyes widened as before him, in the bright cities lights, stood before him the red and blue dressed hero, Spider-Man.

It was a strange way to reveal oneself, the criminal thought, as the Rhino growled out loud in his thick accent, "You're mince meat Spidah!" But as the strong trouble maker began to throw cars and large items at the skinny hero, he received no response, which was unlike the boisterous chatterbox hero he knew.

As Spider-Man swiftly dodged a flying car, the spider themed hero swiftly turned around surveying the area as he shot his web slinger, hitting a man's back who was eating a hot dog not even paying to the scrap fight behind him, as the vigilante pulled the man out of the way before the car took the civilians head off.

The skinny hero quickly turned around to see the large villain beginning to run away, down the busy street towards sixth avenue.  The spider quickly shot his web up in the air striking a lamppost as he ascended over thirty feet in the air.  The hero landed in front of the big man smoothly, causing the Rhino to stop.

Only uttering a single word, the New York vigilante ordered the man to halt with a strong, "Surrender."  Rhino growled, "I'm sick of you!  I should just squash you now!"

As Spider-Man went into formation with another right hook, planting his fist against Rhino's jaw, the older man growled, "Night night Spidey!"

Before the vigilante could process what the Rhino had said, the big man in his Rhino suit shoved a small piece of metal towards Spider-Man appearing to be a technology which latched itself onto the teens suit as it began to crackle electricity through the hero.

"Shoot!" Spider-Man cried out in pain falling to the ground, as Rhino began to laugh smugly, "Seeya latah' bug!" The villain shouted out as he quickly made an escape, leaving the thin hero to writhe on the ground in pain from the massive shocks he had been forced to receive.

'Nice going Peter...' The vigilante thought to himself as he slowly pulled himself up off the ground, tore the shocker device off of himself and smashed it under his foot.

Peter quickly looked up through his mask lens' to see several police cars racing up the street towards him, and sighed seeing several people taking photos of him. He shot his web up towards a nearby skyscraper and pulled himself up, as the wall crawler began to glide through the concrete jungle of Manhattan.

"Wooohooo!" Peter shouted loudly as he glided through the city with ease. One web after another being slung out, not worried slightly about anything else in the world at that moment. Swinging through the city calmed the teens nerves, especially after the death of his aunt several months before.
