Marvel With Spider Power and Omnitrix

Mary Jane opened her mouth and explained with obvious difficulty, "I'm looking for Ben and... Peter. We're... neighbors. If anything happens to them, May and Ben. would be devastated..."

Felicia, consumed with worry, didn't notice the slight hesitation in Mary Jane's tone. She replied frantically, "I didn't see him anywhere. He wasn't in the classroom when this all started."

"We have to find him. If he doesn't know there's a monster loose in the school, he could be in serious danger."

Hearing this, Mary Jane nodded decisively. This wasn't the time to worry about her bruised ego or social insecurities. Ben's safety was the only thing that mattered!

Fortunately, even in the chaotic crowd, Ben spotted the two girls easily.

Both Mary Jane's distinctive red hair and Felicia's bright platinum blonde locks were highly visible above the sea of panicked students. With his enhanced hearing, he could also make out their conversation despite the surrounding noise.

Seeing that both girls were about to turn around and search for him, Ben quickly pushed through the crowd and approached them directly.

"Felicia, Mary Jane."

Both girls cried out in relief when they saw him safe and unharmed. But Mary Jane immediately noticed Peter's absence and asked urgently, "Ben, where's Peter? There's some kind of terrifying monster loose in the school—we need to evacuate immediately."

"You two follow the crowd and get out of here. I'll go find Peter," Ben said, placing his hands on both their shoulders and gently but firmly guiding them toward the exit.

By this point, most of the student body had already been evacuated successfully.

Felicia clearly didn't want him taking such a risk. She grabbed Ben's arm—her palm was cold and slightly damp with fear-induced perspiration—and said quickly, "This is way too dangerous."

"Peter's my cousin. I can't abandon him," Ben replied with absolute conviction.

At that moment, a tremendous crash echoed from behind them as Connors charged forward like a runaway freight train. His massive bulk slammed into Spider-Man, sending both figures crashing through several interior walls before disappearing from the trio's line of sight.

Felicia was so frightened that she nearly forgot to breathe.

"Was that... Spider-Man?" she asked in a whisper.

Ben nodded grimly, then issued clear instructions. "Spider-Man will keep the monster distracted. I'll find Peter, and you two get out of here safely. Mary Jane, make sure Felicia gets to safety!"

Felicia opened her mouth to protest, but Mary Jane grasped her shoulder and looked at Ben with serious intensity. "Be careful!"

After watching Mary Jane pull Felicia toward the exit, Ben turned his attention to the path of destruction left by Connors and Peter. They'd already smashed through the first floor's ceiling and were now fighting in the second-floor corridor, where the towering Connors had seized Peter's smaller form in one massive hand and was slamming him repeatedly into the ground!

The disparity in their physical capabilities was devastating.

The original Lizard had possessed combat abilities roughly equivalent to Spider-Man's, and had actually been stronger than Peter, who hadn't yet reached his full potential. Now, Dr. Connors—transformed into something resembling a prehistoric predator and enhanced with Dr. Animo's genetic modifications—had become exponentially more powerful than his previous form.

Ben suspected that Connors' physical abilities might now rival those of the Hulk in his calmer moments!

"This isn't an opponent Peter can handle alone," Ben realized.

He sprinted into his classroom and retrieved the antidote serum from his locker. He looked down at the Omnitrix but chose not to activate it. Instead, he pulled a red and black costume from his backpack.

Advanced Combat Suit – V1.

The traditional blue sections had been replaced with deep black, and a massive white spider emblem covered the torso like an anatomical diagram! After last night's siege at Oscorp, where he'd been overwhelmed by Dr. Animo's creatures, Ben had deeply regretted not having web-shooters available. So after returning from Kamar-Taj, he'd transformed into XLR8 and rapidly constructed a battle suit for himself.

The process had nearly destroyed his family's sewing machine in the attempt.

Ben had considered going with a white and black color scheme for his Spider suit—after all, it matched the Omnitrix perfectly. But in the end, he decided against it. The last thing he needed was for people to start linking his superhero persona with his future alien activity.

The web-shooters were still somewhat crude in design, but they would have to suffice until he could implement future improvements.

Ben quickly donned the enhanced costume.

He leaped out of the classroom window, raised his wrist, and fired a web-line that launched him through the air like a living projectile—this was his first time web-swinging since acquiring spider powers, and he had to admit the sensation was absolutely exhilarating. No wonder Peter enjoyed his nighttime patrols so much.

The suit's lenses didn't impair his vision in any way, and Ben quickly locked onto Connors' position in the second-floor corridor.

The monster was gripping Peter with both massive hands, his enormous palms nearly engulfing the teenager's entire body. His ten claw-tipped fingers were clenched tight, clearly attempting to crush every bone in Peter's frame!

"Ahhh—" Peter screamed in agony.

In contrast, Connors appeared almost serene. His elongated snout was positioned mere inches from Peter's face, and his terrible fangs were easily half the length of Peter's head! He spoke with cruel satisfaction.

"Poor Peter Parker. Why did you choose to oppose me?"

Peter couldn't form words in response. If Connors had torn away his mask at this moment, he would have discovered that Peter's face had turned an alarming shade of red. The crushing pressure on his body was preventing proper blood circulation, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

"You have no father, no mother... so tragically alone," Connors continued with mock sympathy.

From this day forward, every person in New York City would be transformed to match his own superior form—everyone except one individual. Spider-Man would remain unchanged.

"You'll be the only aberration, Peter, but don't worry—no one will have the opportunity to look down on you for this," Connors offered with false comfort, "because you'll die right here."

Just as Connors was about to snap Peter's neck, Ben's voice suddenly rang out from outside.

Connors immediately turned toward the sound and saw a red and black shadow streaking past the window!

"Incoming!"

Ben's kick, delivering more than ten tons of force, shattered the reinforced glass like it was tissue paper and connected solidly with Connors' shoulder, sending the massive creature flying backward.

"Reinforcement is here Spider-man!" Ben declared, executing a perfect somersault and landing in a combat crouch.

He immediately assessed Peter, who appeared to have collapsed into a heap after being released from Connors' grip.

"I'm okay, just a few broken ribs..." Peter groaned weakly. "If you'd been any slower, I'd be dead right now."

"But you're not," Ben replied pragmatically, tossing the antidote serum to Peter.

"I'll keep him busy while you find an opening to inject him!"

"Wait, Ben..." Peter hesitated, examining the vial.

Ben assumed Peter was worried about his safety. "Don't worry about me."

"No, I just discovered a major problem," Peter said with obvious distress, indicating the thin needle attached to the serum injector. "This thing won't be able to penetrate his hide at all!"

"Sorry—when we synthesized the antidote, we only considered the possibility that Connors would remain in lizard form," Ben admitted helplessly.

How could they have predicted that the lizard-man would evolve into something resembling a dinosaur?

BOOM!

Connors launched himself forward, smashing through the ceiling and reappearing directly in front of them.

He opened his cavernous maw, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. "Two annoying spiders?"

"I wasn't aware that Richard Parker had another child. No matter—"

He abandoned any attempt at complex reasoning, and a cruel smile spread across his monstrous features. "This is actually fortuitous. Congratulations, Peter. You won't have to face death alone!"

Connors bared his fangs in a predatory grin, and the next moment, he attacked with the fury of a primordial beast!
