The marvellous spider-man

Chapter 36

Spiderman jumped out the office window, swung around the building to the open bathroom window, leapt inside and burst through the door. Fortunately Harry and the three intruders, a minotaur, a samurai, and a cowboy orc, hadn't moved, so Harry was safe. Peter took one look at the intruders and said to Harry, "You! Get out of here!"

"My friend was in there!" cried Harry.

"I already got him out, just go!"

Harry made a dash for the stairs when the samurai ran quick as a cheetah and blocked him off, his hand resting on the sword at his side.

"Now now kid," said the orc in a gruff voice. "Leaving so soon?"

Harry looked at Spiderman pleadingly, and behind the mask Peter cursed his bad luck. Now his friend was a hostage, and all he could do was play for time until he came up with something. He quickly scanned the room, came up with a plan, put his hands up like he was surrendering.

"So," said Spiderman. "Samurai, a Minotuar, and a cowboy orc walk into Oscorp Tower. Why does this sound like the lead of a really bad joke?"

"Watch your mouth kid," said the orc. "I'm in no mood for your smart-alec nonsense."

"Smart-alec?" mocked Spiderman. "Who says that anymore? In all seriousness I do love the cosplay guys...but don't you know Comic-Con is that way?"

Spiderman pointed to the left, stretching his hand out and tugging on a line of stealth webbing he had placed when he raised his hands. A vase in the corner suddenly flew towards the samurai's head, pulled by a thin shimmering line. The samurai quickly turned around, unsheathed his sword and sliced the vase in two, but by the time he turned around Spiderman had already attached a web line to Harry and pulled him away.

Spiderman had to quickly grab harry under the waist and swing away as the couch was flying towards them, thrown by the minotaur. Spiderman swung to the emergency staircase behind the wall that the minotaur had burst through earlier. He jumped to the rim of the staircase and dropped harry down the middle. Harry screamed as he fell, while Spiderman threw webbing to block the three intruders and another line to catch Harry as he descended. Spiderman then let a dangling Harry down slowly.

The orc then pulled out a whip, pressed a button on it, and it came to life with electricity. He cracked it and shattered the webbing in front of him, and said, "Dan, go."

Sensing the samurai's footsteps through the ground, Spiderman swung Harry to the nearest staircase. He wasn't quite to the bottom yet, but he was close enough, and Harry started running down once he could. Spiderman then turned to face the intruders but the Samurai flipped over his head and landed on the other side of the stairs, right on the bannister. He then ran down the bannister at high speed, never falling off for a second.

Spiderman was about to jump down after them when he felt the Orc's running footsteps. Spiderman back flipped over the electric whip, hitting the wall, and then jumped away as the Minotaur came stomping through. Spiderman barely avoided the minotaur's fist as it shattered a hole in the wall. It was then that Spiderman jumped down the stairs, towards Harry and the samurai.

He quickly heard something and looked up to see that the minotaur had jumped in after him, was using his hands to grab the railings and quicken his descent, ripping off pieces of the stairs as he did. Spiderman quickly used his webbing to do the same, shooting lines down and pulling himself forward.

At the bottom of the stairs the samurai had almost caught up to Harry. Spiderman shot a web, swung down, and narrowly avoided the minotaur's fist as it impacted the ground with an earth shattering crack! Spiderman also just barely caught Harry's waist as the samurai was about to grab him. At that moment Spiderman, Harry, and the samurai were all knocked backwards by the force of the minotaur's impact.
