Chapter XIX: The Hunt

November 2 2020

Dennis was Chris's Rival In The MMA and A Former Heavyweight Champion. Right now Dennis exited a convenience store as he got a cigarette out and light it up as he began smoking. Dennis continued making his way back home as he was peacefully smoking the cigarette. He went towards the alleyway as he threw the cigarette until someone called his name as he turned around and saw Desmond looking at him.

Dennis: Spider Man?

Desmond: Dennis, We need to talk.

Dennis: I didn't do anything wrong.

Desmond noticed the tone of his voice as he knew Dennis was hiding something and he didn't want to talk about it.

Desmond: I know what Chris is using.

Dennis: I swear I have nothing to do with this.

Desmond: Dennis, Tell me the truth. *Shows the Syringe* What is this and Why is Chris using it?

Dennis: Okay I'll tell you everything. Chris went to a abandoned Oscorp Laboratory and found that serum and since then he's been using it.

Desmond: For his fights?

Dennis: Yeah, He's been using it for the last few weeks but today I noticed he looked a little different. He was pale and his behaviour was different.

Desmond: So Chris has been using this as Sport Enhancers to win his fights in the MMA.

Dennis: Right. I told him to stop using it, I fear that if he got caught. He'll be in big trouble.

Desmond: I see.

Dennis: Is he alright?

Desmond: Yeah, He's alright.

Dennis: Oh Thank God. Look that's all I know man. I have nothing to do with this.

Dennis left the alleyway as he went back home as Desmond shot a web line and began swinging through different buildings as he decided to head back to the ESU to create an antidote. Ten minutes later, Desmond made it to the ESU as The Group already noticed him.

Lexi: Spider Man?

Desmond: Yeah, Its me.

Thea: Wait, What are you doing here?

Desmond: I'm here to help your friend.

Jessica: How do you know that?

Desmond: Uh. . . . . Spider Sense was tingling?

The Group looked at each other as they all began talking.

Priscilla: Well Some Of Chris's Blood was on the ground and I began analysing it and-

Desmond: His DNA is heavily corrupted with Lizard DNA.

Cassie: How do you know?

Desmond: Doesn't matter. Did you created an antidote?

Priscilla: Yeah, I managed to create an antidote and-

Desmond shot a web line as he grabbed the antidote and put it in his pocket.

Maria: Wait, You don't even know where Chris is.

Desmond: I'll find him.

Gionna: Hey Spider Man.

Desmond looked at Gionna as she looked at him with worry in her eyes.

Gionna: Be careful.

Desmond: Um. . . . Will do.

Gionna looked at him as he exited the ESU as He intercepted a phone call from Maria's Phone as he was listening to it.

Michelle: Guys, I know where Chris is.

Maria: Wait Where?

Michelle: He's at the Zoo.

Maria: Hold on, We're coming to the Zoo.

Desmond knew where to go as he shot another web line and continued swinging through different buildings as he needed to save Chris.

Three minutes later, Michelle was walking around the Zoo until she heard a sound as she turned around and saw Desmond.

Michelle: Spider Man.

Desmond: Where is he?

Michelle: He's at the reptile house.

Desmond: You stay here.

Michelle nodded as Desmond entered the reptile house as he was crawling on the wall while looking at the reptiles moving around the house.

Desmond saw a snake along with some lizards and a leather back sea turtle as he continued crawling until he saw the Lizard swimming around Saltwater

Desmond: There you are.

Ketch jumped to the Saltwater and attacked it but it wasn't the Lizard but another reptile.

Desmond: Oh Great, In Laws.

The Crocodile was angry as it tried to attack him but he jumped on a tree branch as he sighed in relief.

Desmond: That was-

Suddenly His Spider Senses went off as The Lizard attacked Desmond and both of them landed on the Saltwater.

The Lizard began choking Desmond as he was struggling to breathe as Ketch was slowly losing consciousness. The Lizard let out a growl as another crocodile tried to attack Desmond but The Lizard let go of him and began fighting the Crocodile.

Desmond was floating as Maria managed to pull him to shore as Michelle and The others looked at him as he opened his eyes and saw the group.

Desmond: *Coughs* What a pain.

The Group saw Chris fighting the Crocodile as Desmond shot multiple webs on the Lizard as he tried to attack him but the Crocodile attacked Ketch as he jumped on it's back and then...

The Lizard attacked Desmond as The Group exited the Reptile house as They heard loud growls.

Gionna: Oh God. I hope This ends soon.

Michelle: Me too.

Meanwhile Desmond shot multiple webs at Chris as he tried to inject the antidote on him but he was resisting.

Desmond: Chris, Please. I'm trying to help you.

The Lizard tried to bite Desmond's head as he dodged it.

Desmond: Hey I'm your best friend, Not Dinner.

The Lizard managed to break free as Chris and Desmond went through the window of the reptile house as they continued fighting until...

Desmond fell down as he was holding his back as the group was watching him.

Desmond: Come out Chris. There's no need play hide and seek. Man I prefer playing hide and seek with Gionna instead of a monster lizard.

The Lizard attacked Desmond and threw him to a tree as he was holding his back in pain. Ketch had a plan as The Lizard tried to attack him but Desmond created multiple cobwebs as The Lizard was dodging it.

Thea: What's he doing?

Michelle: He's trapping his prey just like how a spider does it.

Desmond fired multiple cobwebs around the trees as The Lizard tried to hit Ketch but he countered into a...

The Lizard managed to break through the webs and attack Desmond but he jumped over his head as he got stuck on another cobweb. The Lizard broke out again as Desmond kicked him to another Cobweb and started webbing him up.

The Lizard managed to break through as it growled at Desmond until he hit him with a..

Desmond started webbing Chris up until he broke free yet again as Both of them jumped on the trees as Ketch fired multiple cobwebs at Chris.

The Lizard growled at Desmond as he continued chasing him while Ketch tried to slow him down by firing more webs.

Jessica: He's actually slowing him down.

Priscilla: Its working.

Desmond continued firing multiple webs as Chris was trying to break through but failed as Ketch tried to fire more webs but...

Desmond: Great, I'm out of Web Fluid.

The Lizard tried to break through as Ketch was staring at him until....

The Lizard: Now Your Mine Prey.

Desmond: Sorry, Who's the Prey again?

The Lizard growled at Desmond until Desmond unleashed a fury of punches on him until the last two punches knocked the Lizard down as it landed on the cobweb.

Desmond jumped on the Lizard and injected the antidote on him as The Growls turned into screams. The Lizard slowly turned into Chris as Everyone covered him with a blanket.

Priscilla was holding Chris's head as Gionna saw that Spider Man was gone.

Desmond grabbed the camera that was on the pole as he looked at the pictures of the fight between him and the Lizard as he left the zoo.

November 3 2020

Desmond was at the hospital as he paid the medical bills as The Doctor looked at him.

Doctor: How much did you pay?

Desmond: Fifty thousand dollars.

Doctor: That's enough to cover all the medical bills.

Desmond: Hey, How's Rosie?

Doctor: She's a little better now.

Desmond: When will she wake up?

Doctor: Soon. Don't worry kid, She'll be alright.

Desmond nodded as The Doctor gave him a smile as he left while Ketch looked at the room as he continued looking at Rosie.

Desmond exited the hospital as he was walking through the street of New York as Someone grabbed his shoulder as he turned around and was met with a....

Desmond was holding his cheek as he saw Priscilla staring at him as she had anger in her eyes.

Priscilla: You Bastard!

Desmond tried to talk to her but she slapped him again before she grabbed him by the collar.

Priscilla: You Bastard. Where were you last night?

Desmond: I was-

Priscilla: Don't lie to me. You were at the zoo huh? Taking pictures of the fight between Spider Man and Chris huh?

Desmond was silent as Priscilla slapped him again as she looked at him.

Priscilla: *Shows Newspaper* I saw this picture on Todays Bugle News. There's no doubt that you took these pictures because our group including you know about this incident.

(Just tell her the truth, Your only gonna make this worse)

Priscilla: Were you that desperate for money that you didn't care about your best friend?

Desmond was silent as Priscilla slapped him again before she said her final words.

Priscilla: You greedy bastard.

Priscilla walked away as Desmond was staring at her as he was quiet and didn't even try to go after her. Ketch sighed in anger as he walked back home.
