Chapter 50 - Symbitech Wyrm

"Super Ultron, turn on some live action footage," Ben commanded, Super Ultron responded immediately, projecting a live event onto the screen.

In the midst of the cityscape, a humming sound came, and showed a mysterious figure arriving on a sleek bike. As the bike descended from above, its rider was none other than the star of the city, Spider-Man.

Zooming through the city on his Spider-Cycle, Spider-Man said, "I love the freedom of riding in the open sky, full of fresh air. Or on the ground, there is so much traffic, I hate it. Don't know when the government will look into this matter."

As Spider-Man was enjoying his ride, suddenly a swarm of robo-bats materialized. And their metallic wings slice through him.

"Just when I thought today was going to be a good day, evil robo-bats show up to ruin my fun. But they don't know that when you face Spider-Man, you're going down," Spider-Man said, and he quickly set his Spider-Cycle on autopilot.

While he focuses on the robotic bat, and using his web-slinging powers, one by one. Spider-Man started destroying all of the robo-bats, and after destroying the last robo-bats.

"Now, I can finally ride my Spider-Cycle," Spider-Man murmured, but before he goes on his Spider-Cycle. Green Goblin, his oldest foe, appeared there, he was going somewhere.

"Oh my Greeny, where are you off to in such a rush?" Spider-Man quipped, firing a web at Goblin's face, suddenly stopping him, causing him to collide with the side of a building.

"Spider-Man, why do you always get in my way?" Green Goblin shouted angrily, and launched many missiles at the web-slinger.

But Spider-Man easily dodged the projectile, and was again ready to fight him.

Green Goblin noticed he had less time for whatever he was going to do. He scanned the surroundings. And his eyes fixed on a pillar supporting a nearby building.

Forming a plan, without hesitation, he unleashed a missile, shattering the pillar, causing the building to start collapsing.

"I would love to stay and battle with you, but I have a family matter to attend to, so enjoy it for now," Green Goblin said after seeing Spider-Man busy stopping the building from complete collapse.

Spider-Man started webbing the structure, preventing it from falling apart. But still, it was not easy for him to do alone. And soon, he realized that the building was again going to collapse, and he didn't have any solution to stop this.

Ben from his room, seeing everything. And he understood it was a difficult situation for Spider-Man.

So he created a gravity device, and gave it to Super Ultron. "Super Ultron, go and help this teenager."

Super Ultron after taking the command, in a few seconds, he reached towards the Spider-Man

And from far, he throws the device, which goes and gets stuck on the building. Causing the building to freeze in place, suspended mid-air, but it was not seen by Spider-Man.

Spider-Man's teammates, arriving on the scene, gathered around the web-slinger. Sensing their presence, Spider-Man addressed them with a plea, "Guys, I'm telling you not to interfere this time. I'm going to meet Harry Osborn, and maybe Goblin's going to attack us at that time. But, please don't get involved this time because Harry and I are still best friends."

Understanding the situation, White Tiger spoke for the group, "Yeah, we won't bother Harry with everything going on." And everyone nodded. Then Spider-Man unmasked himself, and now it revealed he was Peter Parker, the man behind the superhero.

Ben observed the scene through the Super Ultron, he focused on Peter Parker. And became interested in the Spidey-Guy's adventures. "It's interesting to follow this Spidey-Guy. In Universe 613, I haven't found anyone like Spidey-Guy yet," Ben mused, and commanded Super Ultron to track Peter's movements.

Meanwhile, Peter Parker got a warning sense in his Spidey tingle. But even after looking everywhere, he didn't find any danger, and then he dismissed the unease.

"Well, forget about it. Now, I need to decide whether to tell Harry I am Spider-Man or not," Peter pondered. He was engaged in an awkward conversation with Harry Osborn.

And when Peter decided to reveal his truth to his friend, his Spider Sense gave an immediate warning. With a rapid movement, Peter pulled Harry down just in time as the Green Goblin tore off the car's roof.

"Ha-ha, I've found you again, my son," the Goblin declared. Reacting quickly, both Peter and Harry sprinted down a nearby alley, their hearts pounding as they sought refuge from the Green Goblin.

In this urgency, Peter realized that he needed to wear his Spider-Man costume for enhanced abilities. However, he remembered leaving the suit in the car. And without it, he can't face the Green Goblin, only on his civilian identity.

As the dire situation showed, Peter was again going to reveal his secret to Harry. Yet, before he could start the explanation.

Power Man, White Tiger, Nova, and Iron Fist, the rest of Spider-Man's team, arrived there. Stopping Peter from revealing his secret, and to save Peter.

Peter and Harry hastily navigated the labyrinth in an attempt to escape from the threat of the Green Goblin.

Meanwhile, the team of heroes were struggling against the Green Goblin, because Goblin easily ensnared them in a trap, leaving them helpless.

And then, he redirected his focus toward Peter and Harry, and started pursuing them. The chase reached its climax when they found themselves cornered.

"Father, you want me, so I'm here, take me," Harry confronted his father, believing the Goblin wanted his child to be like him.

To everyone's surprise, the Goblin's response shocked both Harry and Peter, "No, this time I'm not wasting my time on you, but I still need a suitable candidate for a successful experiment."

Before everyone realizes what Goblin wants, Peter understands the gravity of the situation. Goblin seized Peter, and before anyone reacted.

With Peter in his clutches, the Green Goblin soared into the night, leaving behind a stunned group of heroes.

When Peter regained consciousness, he realized he was strapped to a cold, metallic table. While Green Goblin was going to do some experiments on him.

"Peter, my son, my best son, you know, Peter, I always wanted you as my son instead of Harry because you could be a better creation than Spider-Man and destroy him," Goblin shouted, revealing his intentions.

Peter was shocked after realizing the Goblin's intentions.

"Better creations than Spider-Man, and he doesn't even know that I am Spider-Man," Peter pondered, realizing the situation he found himself in.

He even attempted to break free himself from the capture of Goblin, but his attempts were futile.

Then Goblin injected Carnage into Peter's veins, triggering a transformation that surged through his body. The alien symbiote coursed through his veins, and Peter felt the surge of power and aggression.

With an anguished cry, Carnage broke free from the restraints. Green Goblin monitored the situation, and then he ordered.

"My dear son, Carnage, go and destroy my enemy, Spider-Man," Goblin commanded him, unaware that the very Spider-Man he sought to eliminate, he was with him in the face of Carnage.

Even Carnage has forgotten himself that he was Spider-Man, and he followed Carnage's order, and rushed out of the Goblin's lab tearing through the building.

Ben was seeing everything, and he marveled at the Goblin's plan.

"Wow, this Goblin is a genius. He's turned Spider-Man into Carnage and sent him to kill Spider-Man. Now, Spider-Man is Carnage. So, who will Carnage kill?" Ben chuckled at this unique drama.

Back at the Oscorp building, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., arrived to address Harry about the situation.

"Harry, do you know what happened to Peter?" He inquired, seeking answers, since he didn't know what happened to Peter.

"I'm still confused about why my dad chose Peter over me," Harry confessed, he was both confused and hurt by his dad's choice.

"Why did the Goblin take Peter?" Nova also pondered aloud. The motives behind the Goblin's actions remained in mystery.

"And what is the Goblin doing to Peter?" Power Man questioned.

"Maybe he knows about Peter's identity as Spider-Man," Iron Fist thought, giving the explanation.

With this revelation, the team started growing uneasy. The possibility that the Goblin had uncovered Peter's secret, created tension between them.

While everyone was thinking how to rescue Peter. Carnage with so much anger, burst through the window and started attacking the team.

Harry seeing that a symbiotic entity attacked them, he recognized his dad's plan, "So my dad wanted to turn Peter into Carnage this time, that's why he wanted Peter."

Just as Carnage prepared to unleash its fury upon Nova, Harry intervened, stepping boldly in its path. The symbiote recognized Harry as its original host, it quickly got off from Peter, and went on to Harry.

"Now, I'm going to finish the Goblin once and for all," Harry shouted, and he went to confront his dad.

Peter, sensing the danger, understood the situation, and transformed into Spider-Man. And with a mission to understand Harry's plan, he starts following him.

And then both Spider-Man and Carnage work together and defeat the Green Goblin.

With the Goblin defeated, Harry, fueled by a desire for revenge, declared, "Now, I'm going to kill you for good."

"No, Harry, that's not the right way," Spider-Man shouted, attempting to dissuade his friend from crossing a boundary.

Despite Spider-Man's plea, Harry pushed him away, determined to carry out his act of justice.

Then Iron Fist appeared there, and Spider-Man formed a plan with him. He removed his costume, revealing his true identity to Harry.

"Harry, look at me. I'm your friend, and your friend is asking you to please stop trying to kill your father," Peter shouted, his heartfelt plea reaching the core of Harry's heart. And he understood, he was doing wrong.

Yet at this moment, Osborn shouted, "No, Harry. You kill me. And become like me, I want you'll follow in my footsteps."

This sentence left Carnage confused, and they didn't know what he was saying.

Ben, seeing the situation, became little interested in Symbiote, "Go, Super Ultron, retrieve some of the symbiote. I want to examine it," He commanded Ultron.

He has created a humanoid robot, who looks like a human, and whenever he needs, Super Ultron AI will go inside of it.

The synthetic humanoid glided toward the Carnage, Spider-Man and Goblin. And when everyone was busy deciding what to do next, Ultron discharged a surge of electricity towards Harry.

And this attack made the symbiote relinquish its hold on Harry's body. And when the symbiote dispersed, the Super Ultron collected a sample swiftly, leaving remnants of the alien entity behind.

Collapsed in pain, Harry was shocked, and didn't know from where the electric shock came. Even everyone was confused, what just happened.

The Goblin, looking at Peter, questioned him, "How could you be here, Peter, when Spider-Man left?" Before Peter could provide an answer.

Iron Fist, wearing Spider-Man's costume, accompanied by White Tiger, Power Man, and Nova, appeared on the scene. Using Peter's instructions, Iron Fist swiftly took charge of Harry and departed.

"So, it looks like they saved the day," Ben murmured, then his attention shifted to the remnants of the Carnage symbiote.

Seeing the Carnage was trying to get on him, he understood, "It seems, this Symbiote wants to bond with me and control my mind." Then he allowed the Carnage to bond with him, "let's see what it can do to me."

However, when the Carnage assimilated on the Ben, it quickly posted his free will. And then everything started happening as Ben's will.

Instead of adopting the familiar red and black hues like Peter or the black and white of Harry, the symbiote transformed into a green color, with a white dragon design at its center. Its free will shattered.

"Amazing," Ben marveled at his looks, outcome, then he thought, "Carnage's name doesn't match my character. Let's call it Symbitech Wyrm." With that, a new symbiote emerged, distinct in color and identity.

The Symbitech Wyrm, after a brief display of its form, receded into Ben's body, and now whenever Ben needs it, it will appear.
