Chapter XXXVI: TakeOver

August 5 2023

Two Days have passed since the fight with Lucas. There was a press conference happening as multiple reporters looking around as they saw Captain Stacy was walking up the stage as multiple photographers began taking pictures as reporters began asking him questions as George looked at them before he spoke on the microphone.

George: Well let us begin then. I'm sure all of you are aware about this news that Desmond Ketch is Spider Man however there is something I want to tell you all.

The reporters began asking him questions as George was looking at them before he gave his response to everyone.

George: Desmond Ketch is not Spider Man and I have evidence to prove that.

Everyone was shocked by what they heard from him as George continued talking to the reporters.

George: Multiple Witnesses confirmed that during the day the robberies were happening, Desmond was at a friend's house. Not only that, The Spider Man that police fought was a copycat who was trying to frame Desmond and place all blame on him.

This reporters were shocked by what they heard as Captain Stacy said that Desmond is innocent and He isn't Spider Man. The press conference ended as George continued walking until he saw Desmond standing in front of him as George spoke to him.

George: Everything is okay now. I promise you Desmond, I will find that Copycat and bring him to justice.

Desmond nodded as George said something to him as he was listening to him.

George: I knew you weren't Spider Man and now the public knows the truth now. You just take care of yourself, It's already been a rough few days for you.

Desmond nodded as George walked away as he was looking at him. Desmond sighed to himself as he began walking until he saw someone in front of him.

Gionna along with her friends were looking at Desmond as he looked at them. They were staring at him as he looked back at them before he began walking away.

Gionna was staring at him as she noticed he stopped walking and turned around as he looked at her until he sighed to himself and continued walking away while the group watched him.

Desmond fixed his hair as he continued walking down the street as the time was seven twenty three p.m. He continued walking until Desmond heard his phone ringing as he pulled his phone out and looked at the caller ID as it was Tay calling him.

Desmond: Hello?

Tay: Desmond, Are you alright? You've haven't spoke to anyone for the last two days.

Desmond: I'm fine Tay.

Tay: Can we talk around nine p.m?

Desmond: Sure.

Tay told him to take care of himself as Desmond said the same thing and disconnected the call as he sighed to himself until he heard his phone ring again as he saw Diana calling him as he answered the phone.

Desmond: Hey Hannah.

Diana: Desmond, Are you okay?

Desmond: I'm fine Hannah. Everything Is okay.

Diana: I saw the news, I'm glad they cleared your name.

Desmond: I'm glad too.

Diana: Can we talk around Nine?

Desmond: Sure.

Diana told him to take care of himself as Desmond said the same thing to her as he disconnected the call and began walking down the streets of New York.

Meanwhile At Otto's house, Otto was looking at the picture of Desmond standing in front of Him and Rosie as he sighed to himself and looked at the ground.

Otto was looking at the ground until he heard his phone ringing as he looked at the caller ID and the hospital was calling him. Otto immediately answered the phone as the doctor was speaking to him.

Otto: Hello?

Doctor: Mr. Octavius, I have some good news for you.

Otto: What is it?

Doctor: Rosie has awaken from her coma.

Otto was shocked from what he heard as he had a small smile on his face as the doctor told him that Otto can talk to Rosie.

Otto told him he was gonna head to the hospital as he disconnected the call until he looked back at the picture on the table as he continued looking at it as he said something to himself.

Otto: Desmond. . . . I'm sorry for pushing you away. It was never your fault. . .

Otto wished that Desmond was with him and now regretted everything pushing him away and all the cold words he said to Desmond two years ago.

Meanwhile At The Manhattan Opera House showed Fisk talking to Wesley as he was fixing his suit.

Fisk: Will they be here?

Wesley: I sent them the invitation, They will be heading to the summit.

Fisk: Good.

He took a sip of wine as he sat on the chair until he saw the door being opened as Kingpin saw Tombstone.

Fisk: Welcome to the summit Lincoln.

Lincoln: I receive your invitation Fisk. I hope this is good.

Fisk: Don't worry, It is gonna be good. Have a seat Lincoln.

Tombstone looked at him as he took a seat as Fisk was looking at him until they heard the door opening again as they saw Anne along with the enforcers.

Anne: Hello Lincoln and Fisk! Hope I'm not late for the party?

Fisk: Not at all, I'm glad your attending the summit.

Anne: This better be good Fisk or else. . . .

Meanwhile Desmond was walking down the street as he was thinking about Gionna. He really missed her and wanted to talk to her but he knew she still hates him for what happened two years ago.

He sighed to himself and looked at the time as it was eight ten p.m. Desmond continued walking until his Spider senses alerted him of something as he heard someone calling his name. Desmond saw a alleyway as he was confused as he began walking towards the alleyway.

Meanwhile Fisk along with Anne and Tombstone were at the summit as they were talking to each other.

Fisk: We've been on this power struggle for the last two months and nothing has changed.

Lincoln: I've been trying to take over and expand my operations but we always interference from you and Anne.

Anne: You two don't seem to understand. New York has forgotten about the Kingpin and Tombstone. The Underworld needs someone new. Someone who can instill the fear back into the city and that someone is Me.

Fisk: Now Let's us calm down for a moment. We should look at this the other way. A Criminal Empire is a business and in many businesses you need to defend it and make sure you won't lose anything.

Lincoln: So What do you purpose?

Anne: Do you want us to divide New York and rule it?

Fisk: No. . . . New York is mine and I won't let you two take over this city.

Fisk snapped his fingers as Tombstone and Anne looked at him until Ox and Fancy Dan attacked Montana and destroyed the gauntlets and restrained him as Anne was shocked.

Anne: You bastards. . . .

Ox: We work for Kingpin now.

Fancy Dan: Consider our contract with you terminate.

Fisk smiled at them as Tombstone pulled out a Tommy gun and tried to shoot Fisk but Fancy Dan kicked him in the face as Anne used the tentacles and threw Tombstone and Dan to the wall.

Fisk: You should have all known. The Kingpin always hold the trump card.

Tombstone hit a knee strike on Ox and tossed Dan on the table as Anne grabbed Lincoln using the tentacles but Tomstone grabbed the Tommy gun and began shooting at Anne as she blocked the attacks as the fight continued.

Tombstone grabbed the tentacle as Anne tried to attack him until Ox charged towards Tombstone as he grabbed him and threw him to Anne as he charged towards both of them and then...

All three of them were on the ground as Tombstone began shooting at them but they dodged the attacks as the fight continued to get chaotic.

Meanwhile Fisk was drinking a glass of wine as he was Fancy Dan slowly getting up as he said something to him.

Fisk: Finish the job.

Meanwhile Desmond was walking around the alleyway until he saw someone standing in front of him as he looked at him.

The mysterious man let out a chuckle as Desmond felt chills running down his spine hearing the laugh as the man spoke to him.

Unknown: The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Desmond: For the last time-

Unknown: Oh I know the truth that you are Spider Man.

Desmond was staring at the man as he noticed he began walking towards him as he noticed he was wearing a hoodie as the mysterious man began speaking to him.

Unknown: I seen many good people who turn evil before but you are different.

Desmond looked at the man as he continued speaking to him.

Unknown: This city is infested with evil that these demons disguise themselves as Angels.

Desmond was silent until he saw the man smiling at him as chills ran down Desmond's spine until he spoke to him.

Unknown: But you are different. Your heart is incorruptible and You proved it many times that you are strong.

Desmond was silent as the man let out a chuckle again until he spoke to him.

Unknown: When there's hope, There is also Justice. No matter how many times criminals tried to break you, You showed no fear to them and became symbol of hope to this city.

Desmond was looking at the man until he said something to him.

Unknown: Always remember the people that were with you, Remember the people you love. Don't let your past keep holding you back. Let the past go and build a better future for yourself.

Desmond was silent as the man was looking at him until Desmond said something to him.

Desmond: You are right. These criminals need to know that we don't fear them and that without fear they will think twice before preying on another innocent.

Unknown: *Laughs* That is correct Spider. Remember if you ever feel down, Take this.

Desmond saw the mysterious man giving him a pink rose as Ketch was looking at the rose until he spoke to him.

Unknown: This rose will make you remember what I said to you.

Desmond nodded as the mysterious said his last words to him.

Unknown: You truly are the strongest Desmond. Never forget that.

The mysterious man was gonna walk away until Desmond spoke to him.

Desmond: Wait, Who are you?

The mysterious man had a smile on his face as he removed the hoodie as he saw who it was.

Daikon: My name is Daikon Black.

Desmond: Thank you Daikon for everything you said.

Daikon had a smile on his face as Desmond turned around and he was gone as he heard his phone ring as Maria was calling him.

Desmond: Hey Maria.

Maria: Desmond, I have good news for you. I managed to gather up enough evidence to put Tombstone behind bars.

Desmond: That's good Maria. Send the information to Captain Stacy so they can perform an arrest on him.

Maria: Will do.

Suddenly Desmond heard something on the news as he saw a fight happening at Manhattan's opera house as he said something to himself.

Desmond: Let's end this fight once and for all.

Meanwhile George and Yuri were making their way to the opera house until Stacy saw someone sending information on Tombstone's illegal operations and more as he spoke to Yuri.

George: An anonymous person sent information on Tombstone. Finally we can take him down.

Yuri: Right, I'll call for backup.

She was gonna call for backup until George noticed something and he saw what it was.

George: *Smiles* No need for backup Yuri. We are in for a show tonight.

Meanwhile At the opera house, Tombstone along with Anne, Dan and Ox were fighting each other.

Tombstone: That bastard betrayed us all.

Anne: I don't care, I will first kill you all then I'll kill Fisk and take over that throne.

Ox created a blast force and threw at Lincoln but he dodged the attack and began shooting at Anne as she dodged the attacks.

Ox grabbed Tombstone's gun and destroyed it as Dan tried to attack him but he threw him to the wall as he tried to punch Ox but he blocked the attack but Anne attacked Lincoln and Ox.

Anne: I will kill you all!

Desmond: Wow, What's going on here?

Anne along with Lincoln, Ox and Dan saw Desmond swinging around as he spoke to them.

Desmond: What is this? A Battle to determine New York's biggest loser? Where do I start?

Anne: *Activates buzzsaws on the tentacles* Let us start with your demise Arachnid!

Anne destroyed the chandelier as it was gonna fall on two waiters until Desmond saved them.

The waiters immediately ran away as Desmond slowly placed the chandelier down as Anne was gonna attack him until Tombstone grabbed the tentacle and threw Anne to the chandelier.

Desmond saw Fancy Dan trying to attack him but he dodged the attacks and began swinging away as Ox was fighting Tombstone until Anne used the tentacles throw a derby on all of them but they dodged the attack.

Anne was angry as she tried to attack Desmond but he dodged the attack and hit a swing kick on her sending her flying out of the opera house but she used the tentacles to grab Desmond, Tombstone, Fancy Dan and Ox as all of them were outside now.

Desmond was holding his back as the public along with a news helicopter were looking at the fight as police arrived at the scene.

Anne began fighting Tombstone as Ox and Fancy Dan began fighting Desmond as the fight began to get even more chaotic.
