Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 R1: The Spider’s Fun

Peter POV

Spiderman sat atop the tallest building in New York, staring at the place he once protected with all his strength, and now he was here to get revenge.

"SPIDERMAN MENACE to society at large!" Screamed JJ through the screen. "Menace Spiderman executes criminals in one of shield's largest prisons, THIS is what I was telling everyone he needs to be behind bars or put down!" "He even merged with some alien lifeforms, yet Shield has made no official statement? WHAT ELSE COULD THEY BE HIDING FROM US WE DESERVE TO KNOW!!"

"He still hasn't changed, well, that's ironic," spoke Peter solemnly.

(Orange) "WHEN will we spread madness? WHY ARE YOU SITTING AROUND?" Orangie screamed in his mind.

Spiderman chuckled, "You don't know how to savor this moment, do you? All you think about is madness, don't you?"

(Orange) "I am literally born from your own mind, and like five other symbiotes, OF COURSE I AM MAD!" Orangie screamed inside his mind

"...This is why you don't have any friends," Peter said.

Peter then leaped from the building as he began to emanate the "Madness Pulse" or whatever orangie called it.

As the pulse spread across parts of New York, chaos devoured the city. People drove off bridges or robbed flower stores blind.

Police robbed banks, while criminals tried to stop the police. Flames slowly engulfed the city as something akin to the purge echoed across it. Adults riding children's bicycles, a clown car with only one clown inside, and zoo animals eating every single donut in the city.

That was the goofier part of the city, as the other site was much worse. Gangs were in massive shootouts over the most minor things, and politicians were hanged outside their homes alongside their families.

Peter watched from atop a building as smoke and fire billowed towards the sky.

(Orange) "The smell of madness is truly intoxicating."

Spiderman leaped from his perch as he saw a massive group of thugs robbing a police station's armory and going on a gigantic purge across the city.

Spider-Man leaped directly into the group as limbs flew everywhere.

"What the hell is that!!!" screamed one of the thugs before his head exploded. Bullets flew as Spider-Man ripped through every thug with meticulous precision. Some a spike through the skull, another tossed away like a leaf.

Spider-Man stared at the bodies covering the outside of the police station. He paused for a moment as if deep in thought before laughing and swinging away.

Shield decided to send an armored force alongside Shield operatives to take out Spider-Man and "restore order" to the city. Of course, Spider-Man had already prepared for this situation, and boy, was he going to enjoy it.

3rd person POV

As Military and Shield forces entered the city, they were instantly attacked by gangs and police alike. Everywhere they turned, it was blockaded roads, traps, Molotov's, and even suicide charges.

They wiped everyone they came across as orders from the top were to "clear the city".

As the convoy continued through the city, a massive explosion rocked it, sending a transport truck flying.

First, frenzied zealots in red attire rush out with melee weapons and slam directly into the right side of the convey. Shield turrets and personnel open fire, littering the streets with corpses, while on the right side, a massive mob charges. The mob oddly seems as if it's fleeing something as they violently push through vehicles and shield agents, screaming about a "monster". The zealots continued unrelentingly as they sliced into military personnel and even bit into them. The tide of fear had an unexpected effect as the right flak began to collapse from the sheer number of people fleeing.

This didn't stop Shield, which ordered a missile strike up close and had any remaining units from the right flank retreat. The missile strike leveled three blocks and killed several thousand individuals. The shield operatives could mostly care less, but military personnel were shaken and beaten.

"IF YOU USELESS SACKS OF MEAT DON'T KEEP FIRING, I WILL MAKE SURE TO PUT YOU DOWN PAINFULLY!" screamed the military general. Personnel scrambled forward, retaking some vehicles that could be recovered and opened fire on the "civilians."

The military opened fire with tank shells and .50 caliber rounds, cutting down the "retreating" individuals.

The losses for Shield were staggering, and the military lost ⅓ of their personnel and over half of the vehicles. The convoy set up small checkpoints and comms towers before continuing deeper into the city. The meat grinder continued as the military moved towards the Bronx, and Shield focused on clearing out Manhattan so they could land more troops.

Global News

"Breaking News: New York has fallen into chaos after Spider-Man rampaged through the Shield facility and stirred up chaos in New York."

"Let's go over to our reporter live in the air. Take it away, William."

"It's absolutely chaos out here, Shannon. I see fights and shootouts breaking out all across the city. Police were robbing the central bank, while affiliated gang members tried to stop them.

"Several skyscrapers and high rises engulfed in flames as people jump out of windows or from the roof, insanity!! Shannon. I don't know what's wrong with all these people and what caused them to do this, but it can't be a coincidence."

"Look, folks, as you can see, the military alongside shield are moving into the city, securing multiple locations, and look, a few families have appeared approaching them with hands in the air."

Bang bang bang

"What in the, YOU SAW IT HERE FOLKS Shield and the military gunning down unarmed civilians, this is abso-" BOOM.

The live feed goes dead as the broadcast scrambled to figure out the problem before Shield's agents move through the facility and arrest the entire broadcasting studio.

Unknown POV

"Look at them, a city containing millions, and yet brought to its knees by a single being. Chaos incarnation across all that was deemed "Free":"

"How predictable. The Western heroes' ideals are weak and built upon faulty thinking. This is what happens when your ideals are broken, and all that is left is an empty house." "Have you finally shed your idealistic morality to turn towards the truth, Peter?"

"So many voices and so little time, And yet the spider remains?" Truly peculiar.

"The city is like a mirror into the mind of a once noble hero. He gave everything in return for nothing, but anguish, sorrow, and judgment. 

(he leans closer to his monitors, capturing different parts of the city as his men capture several "Individuals")

"If this is what happens when the spider breaks by pure accident. What could he become with purpose? A choice? An ideal?

"The world merely sees madness and the descent into chaos; however, I see the coronation of a new challenger."

(The helicopter from one of his feeds bursts into flames)

"Ah, alas, the frightened little sheep with their toys and badges trying to smother a fire before it burns brightly, and yet they don't under that it will only burn hotter."

"The flame does not go out; it ravenously consumes until it burns everything in its wake."

Back to 3rd Person POV

"We are under heavy fire in section 12. We need a missile strike at our position!" The military was currently engaged with a heavily armored gang equipped with military-grade tech upgrades. Power suits to their own armored vehicles pressed against the military frontlines, and cars exploded, and fire engulfed the street.

UAV flew across New York as precision airstrikes were being conducted all across Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx. Some new mechanical group of people ambushed multiple convoys and blew up a critical supply hub to the Bronx, and were currently the priority target.

"FOR THE GLORIOUS EVOLOUTION!" roared one of the mecha rioters.

Boom

"Section 12 clear, moving towards 13 over."

In Queens, Arson had engulfed almost the entire area. Molotov's, flame throwers, fire grenades, anything used for making fire was used.

The military had tried to make several incursions into this area, but was promptly forced back by the "faction" that had taken hold of that area.

In a small section of Sector 1 in Queens POV

"What is wrong with these people!" A military man was tackled to the ground by a flaming individual. "JOIN THE ENDLESS FIRE!!!"" The flaming women screamed as flames engulfed them.

"Sir, we lost sector one and have been pushed back once more."

"DAMN IT, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO I NEED SECTOR ONE. OTHERWISE, WISE I WON'T BE THE ONLY ONE IN A BODY BAG!!!"

The soldier rushed out and ordered all station troops to move back into sector one nicknamed "Sea of Flames".

In another part of New York, a terrifying group was forming, like a hive mind. They were coordinated, but felt as if they were dead. They ravaged through outpost after outpost and raiding convoys, no matter the casualties.

Peter Pov

"It seems even now I have yet to escape their grasp. The voices may be gone, yet the impact remains."

"DAMN IT," Peter roars as he throws a car at a gas station, causing a massive explosion.

"They better not think I am still a toy they can control, for they are in for a RUDE AWAKENING!!!"

Peter swung forward to continue his guerrilla warfare against the military and shield as he wanted them to make an irreversible decision.

Iron Man POV

"Nick, I don't care about these games anymore. Nuke the city already."

"Tony, you do understand the number of shield agents and military personnel currently in New York is astronomically high?"

"And? Once I have the improved Helix, my mechanical army will dominate any and every opponent, and I will be able to launch Extremis 2.0." "Then we can finally get all the vibranium from those damn Wakandans."

"Whatever you say, Tony, just remember our deal." Nick Fury said firmly.

Tony spoke annoyed, "Yes, yes, don't worry, you will have what you asked for."

Nick Fury spoke once more, "Hail Hydra!" and he walked out of the room.

"Hydra, Shield, The UN, The World government. Merely puppets in a game of chess."

Iron Man walked towards the edge of the room, where a massive glass window stood. He looked out to see that 6 Heli carriers were almost finished.

"It's almost time for the game to begin, truly." Tony looked towards a cryo pod where Pepper lay silently. "All for you, Pepper, I shall make it real."

Some part of the Web of Life

Cracks appeared as more threads loosened or flat-out snapped. Canon events spiraled out of control as Spidermen tried to contain the situation. The Multiverse is at risk as several eyes look towards Earth 71122. Neith sends several Spider Totems to figure out what is happening to that reality, while Morlun revels in the fate that is befalling the web of destiny.

Somewhere in the void

"A new child has awakened; it must be time then." "GO FORTH, MY CHILDREN!!!"
