Chapter XXIV: Law Of The Jungle

November 29 2020

Desmond was walking through the busy streets of New York as he looked at his phone and the time was eight fifteen p.m as he put his phone back in his pocket. Desmond was thinking about the murders that have been happening for the last six days as he wasn't able to get any clues on the murderer. Desmond was fixing his hair and jacket as he looked at his attire.

Desmond continued walking as he was fixing his hair until he got a phone call as he looked at the Caller ID and it was Gionna as he answered it.

Gionna: Hey Cutiepie!!!!

Desmond: Hey, How are you?

Gionna: I'm doing great. What about you?

Desmond: I'm doing good too.

Gionna: That's great to hear. Hey, We have movie night happening. Wanna join us?

Desmond: Sure. I'll buy one fruit cake on the way there.

Gionna: Yes!!!!! Take care Boo.

Desmond was gonna say something to her until he bumped into someone as he spoke to him.

Desmond: Sorry-

He noticed something off about the man, He was wearing a cloak and was even grunting. Desmond continued looking at the man until he noticed blood in his hand as he stared at him.

Gionna: Desmond? Are you there?

Desmond: I'll get to the party Liv. Take care.

Desmond disconnected the call as he saw the cloaked man entering an apartment complex as Ketch called Captain Stacy.

George: New York Police Department, This is Captain George Stacy.

Desmond: Hey Captain, You need to head towards my location.

George: Why? What's the matter?

Desmond: I think I found the murderer, You know the one that has been mutilating thugs for the last few days. He's hiding in an apartment complex.

George: Stay right there. I'm coming.

Meanwhile Gionna and The Others were preparing some food as they were talking to each other while deciding on what movie they wanted to watch.

Thea: What should we watch?

Lexi: Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

Cassie: I was thinking Terminator.

Jessica: That's a great movie.

Chris: Hmmm The Crow?

Priscilla: Yes!!! Let's watch that.

Michelle: Indeed, Its a great movie.

Gionna: Your right about that.

Dori: Is Desmond coming?

Priscilla: I hope not, I don't want to see his face anymore.

Michelle: You really need to stop that attitude.

Chris: Indeed, We all moved on from this, You also move on too.

Priscilla: Never, I hate that bastard.

Gionna: That's enough Priscilla. If you say one more bad thing about Desmond, I'll kick your ass right here.

The Group tried to cool down the tension as Priscilla and Gionna had a stare down before they went back to doing their own work.

Meanwhile The Cloaked Man was in his apartment as he began screaming in pain as he looked at the file in front of him.

Kill Rio Morales and Simon Krieger.

The Cloaked man saw Roxxon Headquarters as his screams turned into growls as he said something to himself.

Cloaked Man: Roxxon. . . . . Roxxon. . . . . . ROXXON!!!!

The Cloaked Man let out a growl as he looked at the window which showed the Headquarters as he let out another menacing growl and then....

Meanwhile Captain Stacy and Desmond entered the apartment complex as George had a pistol in his hands as Ketch was following him.

George: You sure he's here?

Desmond: Yeah.

Captain Stacy nodded as he asked the landlord about a Cloaked man living in the complex as he said he lives in Room 217. Captain Stacy and Desmond made it to the room as George kicked down the door and looked around the room as no one was there.

Desmond was looking around in the room along with George until he noticed the broken window as he saw the Headquarters until Desmond saw a file as he showed it to George.

George: *Looks at the file* Oh no.

Desmond: What is it?

George: Desmond Go home. I'll handle this.

Desmond was confused until Captain Stacy said something on his radio.

George: *On Radio* All Units, Get Rio and Simon out of Roxxon Headquarters. There is a maniac trying to kill them.

Desmond was shocked as he left the apartment complex as he went to an alleyway and changed into his Spider Man suit as he put his mask on and activated his web shooters as he shot a web line and began swinging.

Meanwhile In The Headquarters Rio and Simon were talking about the medical facilities in New York along with their thoughts on the Killer.

Rio: Have you found the killer?

Simon: Not yet, I'm working on it.

Rio: Hopefully we can stop the murderer. He has killed too many.

Simon: Indeed. Hey I have a question to ask you.

Rio: Go ahead.

Simon: What do you think of the New Spider Man in your opinion?

Rio: He's a good man, He risks his life to save others and he has done so much for this city already.

Simon: I can agree on that.

Unknown to them, Someone was climbing on the Headquarters as He let out another growl. Meanwhile Desmond shot another web line as he was getting close to the tower.

Rio and Simon were gonna talk about something until someone busted through the office as they were shocked by who it was.

Simon: Oh my God, Connors.

Rio: I thought he was locked up in the Raft.

The Lizard let out a growl as Simon hit the monster in the face with a chair as Both Rio and Simon run to the meeting room.

Meanwhile Desmond entered the Headquarters and began looking for Rio and Simon until he heard loud growls as he began following it.

The Lizard threw Simon to the wall as he slashed Rio in her arm as she fell down and looked at the monster as He was gonna kill her until The Lizard heard something.

Desmond: Hey Scaly, Know where I can get a little tail?

The Lizard turned around and growled at Desmond as he was staring at it.

Desmond: Oh great.

The Lizard tried to attack Ketch but he dodged it as The Lizard tried to bite him but he dodged it and hit a...

Desmond: Get out of here.

Simon helped Rio as they both left the meeting room as Both Desmond and The Lizard continued fighting until Conners threw Desmond to the window as he was holding his back. Conners growled at Desmond as he charged towards him and then...

Both Of Them continued falling until Desmond shot two web lines as he was on the wall and the Lizard was making his way to the rooftop as he was following it.

Meanwhile Gionna and The Group were waiting for Desmond as they looked at the time and it was Nine Fifteen p.m.

Dori: You sure he's coming?

Gionna: He said he's getting fruitcake first.

Chris: Hey, Look at the news.

Michelle opened the TV as There was a live broadcast happening near Roxxon Headquarters.

Reporter: As you can see in the Rooftop of the Roxxon Headquarters shows The New Spider Man fighting a reptilian monster who is revealed to be Curtis Conners who broke out of the Raft six days ago.

Lexi: Oh No.

Meanwhile The Lizard was on top of the antenna as he was multiple helicopters surrounding the monster.

Roxxon Guard: Conners, This is your last chance.

The Lizard let out a growl and threw a derby at the helicopter as it let out another growl until Desmond surprised the monster with a...

Desmond and Connors continued fighting mid air until they landed on the spotlight.

Conners threw Desmond out of the spotlight as Ketch tried to keep his distance until Conners grabbed his leg and threw him off the tower.

Desmond began free falling until he shot a webline and continued crawling back to the rooftop. Conners tried to hit him with a tail strike but he countered into a...

Conners charged towards Desmond as both of them fell off the Headquarters until Desmond shot a webline on the helicopter as he was holding Conners hand. The Lizard tried to attack Desmond as he spoke to him.

Desmond: Listen to me Conners, If you keep struggling You'll-

Desmond: Fall.

Ketch jumped off the helicopter and shot a webline as he was on street level and noticed Conners was gone as he was confused.

Civilian: Hey, What's the matter?

Desmond: Did you see Conners running around?

Civilian: Oh yeah, I saw that monster. He disappeared into a alleyway.

Desmond checked out the alleyway and noticed he was gone. Ketch continued looking until he received a phone call from Liv as he answered it.

Gionna: Hey Boo, Where are you?

Desmond: I'm coming.

Gionna: Its okay if you don't bring the fruitcake. Just come join us for Movie Night.

Desmond: I already got the fruitcake. I'm coming right now.

He disconnected the call as he changed into his casual attire and brought a fruitcake before making his way to Gionna's house as they let him in as they all began watching the Crow Movie.

Three hours have passed and Desmond was gonna leave the house as he was tired until Gionna stopped him and spoke to him.

Gionna: Hey We're going to meet a friend of mine in Horizon University tomorrow. Wanna join us?

Desmond: Sure, What time?

Gionna: Seven A.M.

Desmond: Alright, I'll be there.

Gionna: Awesome, Good Night Ketch.

Liv kissed Desmond by his nose as he blushed at her before he began making his way back home.

Meanwhile Conners was at his makeshift lab in the sewers as he received a video call from someone.

Unknown: Let me guess The Plan failed.

Conners: I tried to kill them but that arachnid got in my way.

Unknown: *Chuckles* Don't worry Curt, The Big Man always has a Plan B.

Conners: And That is?

Unknown: Horizon University.
