THE GODZILLA CHRONICLES! PART 6
THE SPIDER'S WEB
Time: 10:24 PM
Location: midtown Manhattan, New York
"Someone please help me!" A voice screams from inside an alley.
"What are you stupid, nobody's gonna help you." A smug voice says before the victim in question is silenced by a stiff punch to the gut as two other accomplices look on.
"Please, just let me go." The victim wheezes trying to catch his breath.
"Oh, we can't do that." A second mugger says.
"Yeah, this is our bread and butter." The third one adds.
"Please! Can't you get somebody else?!"
"Sorry buddy, you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now fork over your wallet!" The lead thug demands as he pulls out a switchblade.
But just then out of nowhere a blue fireball flies in and disarms the mugger............ literally! He hits the ground screaming clutching the bloody stump where his forearm once was as his co-conspirators look on in horror!
"What the hell?!" One of them blurts out shortly before they look up to see something moving toward them at the other end of the alley.
When it finally gets close enough to be seen their faces go pale.
"What the hell is that?!" One of them screams as Godzilla finally comes into view.
Not wasting anymore words the two remaining muggers take off running leaving their wounded partner to fend for himself. The near mugging victim also makes a hasty exit upon seeing the kaiju king. The last to leave is the injured punk who shrieks in terror upon making eye contact with Godzilla as he pulls himself up off the ground and hobbles out of the alley leaving Godzilla behind. Now all is quiet once more so Godzilla turns back around and walks back the way he came.
The next day.........
Location: Still in Midtown Manhattan at the new apartment of Mary Jane Watson............. and her new roommate Peter Parker.
Peter sits at the kitchen table reading the morning edition of the Daily Bugle when Mary Jane walks into the room wearing a bathrobe.
"Good morning Tiger." She says as she walks up behind him and leans down slipping her arms around him.
"Good morning." Peter says as he tilts his head back resulting in a kiss very much like the one she gave him in the rain two years ago.
"I didn't know you were up already." She says.
"Yeah, you looked so peaceful. I didn't want to wake you."
"I figured you'd be outside web slinging already at this time of the morning."
"There are some mornings in which even Spiderman needs to take a break. Besides I have a really good reason to stay in in the mornings now." Peter says charmingly with a knowing smile that makes M.J. grin before she kisses him once again.
"So, what are you reading?"
"The too weird to be true section of the Bugle, it's normally where you'll find articles about me when Jameson doesn't already have me splattered on the front page. But today there's something else."
"Really, what?"
"Something about a bizarre admittance to a local hospital, some guy that had his right forearm blown off. There were signs of radioactivity in the injury, and that the victim kept babbling and ranting on and on about a big fire breathing alligator that attacked him in an alley."
"Are they serious, maybe the guy is just a nut-case."
"Could be..................but it certainly sounds unusual."
"You mean more unusual than having a superhero for a boyfriend."
"Maybe.........just a little." Peter smiles as M.J. kisses him one more time.
Later.........
Godzilla lumbers through the New York City sewer system in an attempt to avoid human contact and the major roadways as he continues walking through midtown. As he walks along though he hears the sounds of children up above through a manhole cover nearby what sounds like a busy street, so he decides to investigate. He barely lifts the manhole cover as he takes a look around, he then spots around five or six children playing up ahead. He has only been watching them for a few moments when he sees a speeding car rushing down the street swerving back and forth. The children are on the sidewalk but the vehicle appears to be out of control. Sideswiping another parked car it veers right toward the kids! The children see the car coming and quickly run but one of them, a little boy falls down and gets left behind with only seconds before the vehicle runs him over!
Tightening the muscles in his legs, arms, and tail like coiled springs Godzilla leaps, exploding up through the pavement and into the center of the street! Another vehicle approaching from the other direction has to slam on its brakes to avoid the suddenly gaping hole that Godzilla has made! He lands right in front of the little boy and a split-second before the car would have hit him! The car plows into Godzilla as if it hit a tree completely demolishing the front end and sending the rear end of the vehicle flipping up into the air, but Godzilla stops it from flipping all the way over as he reaches out his right hand and pushes the car back down letting it land on all four tires. The little boy is in awe as he looks up at Godzilla standing directly in front of him. Well, he had saved the child but in the process has revealed himself to everyone present as onlookers and bystanders gawk at the monster in shocked silence. The silence is broken when an old lady nearby starts screaming her head off.
"Here we go again." Godzilla thinks to himself as people and cars alike start scattering in all directions in a panic!
The Daily Bugle.........
"Parker! Parker get in here, where have you been all morning?!" J. Jonah Jameson grumbles.
"I'm sorry Mr. Jameson but I had classes." Peter says standing in the doorway of Jameson's office.
"Classes smasses get your butt in here!"
"What's up?"
"What's up! A creek and you minus a paddle if you don't get out there and get me some snap shots of Godzilla for our front page!"
"Godzilla?"
"Yes Godzilla! Where you been under a rock?!"
"Well actually--"
"Don't wanna know, don't care!"
"You can't be serious." Peter says with a slight laugh.
"What, about not caring? Completely!"
"I mean about Godzilla."
"What am I a comedian?! I'm always serious, especially when it comes to news! Besides I have no sense of humor! He was spotted a couple of blocks from here just a few minutes ago!"
"Unbelievable."
"What, that you're still sitting here, yes I agree!"
"What's the headline gonna be Jonah?" Robbie Robertson says stepping in for a brief moment.
"Big G in the Big Apple! Sounds great don't it!" Jonah says looking back at Peter.
"You mean doesn't it sir."
"What are you a walking thesaurus, get out there and get me my pictures! Heck maybe Spiderman will even show up and cause some more havoc like he did with the Goblin and Octavius!"
Just then Peter's pager goes off as he looks down and recognizes M.J's cell number so Peter takes off. Outside The Bugle he drops a coin into a pay phone and dials her number.
"M.J. I got your page, whats going on?"
"Uh Peter, remember that big alligator you were reading about in the paper?"
"Godzilla! You've seen it!"
"No, actually I'm seeing it right now and wait a minute, Godzilla? That thing is Godzilla?"
"Yes, are you alright?! Where are you now?!"
"Yes I'm fine, it's down the street from where I am and I'm in front of Picalli's Diner at the corner of Westlake and Quaker street!"
"Okay, stay out of its way if you can! I'll be right there!"
Within moments Peter has already ducked into an alley and comes swinging back out as Spiderman. He reaches Picalli's Diner in no time flat as he lands on the sidewalk almost right next to Mary Jane.
"Where is he now?" Peter says looking around and not seeing any sign of Godzilla.
"After all the chaos started he walked into that alley across the street." M. J. tells him as she points him in the right direction.
Peter starts to take off when Mary Jane grabs him by the arm.
"Peter, please be careful. I watched him stop a car in its tracks just by standing in front of it and he didn't even flinch, it was like it had hit a telephone pole or something." She whispers to him trying not to let her voice carry to anyone else around her.
"Oh, don't worry. I've read about Godzilla, I know what I'm up against."
"There's something else also."
"What?"
"When he jumped out in front of the car he was standing in front of a little boy, there's a pretty good chance that if he had not done what he did the car would have ran the boy over."
"Are you suggesting that he saved the kid?"
"Maybe I'm wrong, maybe there's something else that I missed, but it certainly looked that way."
"All right, I'll keep that in mind." Peter says a split-second before taking off towards the alley.
Peter swings into the alley and sees Godzilla walking up ahead so he sticks a landing about 20 feet in front of the kaiju. Godzilla stops when he sees Spiderman land in front of him and tilts his head sideways a curious fashion.
"Whoa, you're still a lot bigger than I thought you would be." He admits gazing upon the eight foot behemoth.
Peter had read about Godzilla's battles from decades ago as well as his recent reemergence at his current size but it certainly didn't make him any less imposing now that he saw him in the flesh. Peter also takes notice of the obvious transformation that has taken place as he gazes upon the kaiju's now far more intimidating appearance.
"Okay, let's just take it easy now." Spiderman says with his hands up in front of him.
"Nice day for a walk huh?" He goes on not really getting any response from Godzilla who then starts walking again looking as if he is going to try to walk around Spiderman.
"Well, that's kind of good I guess. At least he wasn't trying to start a fight." Peter thinks to himself.
