Chereads / Spider-Man: Absolute Godspeed / Chapter 79 - Recreating History

Chapter 79 - Recreating History

"How about we repeat some history together, Parker!" As the Goblin taunted the hero, his hoverboard appeared out of nowhere, and he jumped on it with Spider-Man still in his grasp. Immediately they begin flying up into the air together toward the plane.

Seeing this, Silk started running up a nearby building and webbed herself to the Green Goblin's new glider. This caused him to nearly lose his balance as he continued flying upward. "Ah, so Ms. Moon wants blood on her hands too? That's fine by me!" The Goblin continued flying the two spiders upward until they were above the clouds and at the same height as the plane.

"We have an unidentified object in the skies." One of the pilots talked into his radio upon seeing the silhouettes of the two fighters in the distance, along with one hanging from beneath them. The copilot squinted as he noticed it as well.

"What is it?" He asked, leaning closer to the window before speaking once more. "Are those… people? Wait it's-" Before he could finish that sentence, the flaming body of Spider-Man crashed through the cockpit.

"What would you like?" One of the flight attendants who was passing out drinks asked one of the passengers. The passenger was a middle-aged man wearing a suit and tie. He rubbed his chin before giving his answer.

"Give me a fireball whiskey." As he said this, Spider-Man's body, still covered in the Green Goblin's flames, crashed through the cockpit and into the passengers' cabin. His body rolled into the walkway of the cabin, nearly hitting the stewardess in the center. The pressure of the outside of the plane began to suck the air out from the cabin, sending drinks, phones, laptops, and any other small object out through the front of the plane.

Spider-Man shot up, and the flames on his body began to die down as he fired webs toward the people who were not wearing seatbelts. He could feel the plane quickly losing altitude as every single person on the plane started to panic. Their screams, cries, and prayers began to overwhelm Eren. From one of the passenger's windows, he could see Silk attempting to climb up onto the Green Goblins glider.

Spider-Man was beginning to feel overwhelmed, unable to think due to all the mayhem. Unable to take it any longer, he screamed.

"Everyone shut up!" This caused the entire plane to stop panicking at the same time. Once he had all of their attention, he spoke to them all calmly. "Put your masks on. Help people who need help with theirs and calm yourselves. I'll fix this." The people followed his orders, putting on their masks and helping the children and elderly put on theirs.

"How are you gonna fix this?" One of the first-class snobs asked him.

"I'm working on it. Just… shut up okay?" He flash-stepped into the cockpit and began talking to the pilots. The wind being sucked out from the front nearly muted his voice as he screamed to them. "Can you guys fly this thing still!?"

"No, the engine is fried and the wings are severely damaged, we're headed straight for the One World Trade Center." The pilot could barely speak due to the severity of the situation.

"If I were to pull on the wings from the roof do you think that'll work?" Spider-Man spoke quickly, awaiting a quick response. He looked out of the window and sees that the plane was headed toward the city at a rapid speed.

"Maybe but-" Before the pilot could finish his sentence, Spider-Man lept out of the window and swung himself to the roof of the plane. He tried to contact Harry through his mask, but due to their altitude, he couldn't get through to him. "Damn it."

Next to the plane, he could see the Green Goblin and Silk fighting on top of his glider. Knowing that a fall could result in her death, Silk was on the defensive, dodging the Green Goblin's strikes as his hot aura nearly blinded her. She looked over at her partner and tried to speak to him. "Don't worry about me, I'll-" As she spoke, the Goblin punched her in the face, sending her flying backward.

Before she could hurl back down to the earth, she webbed the Goblin's glider and yanked him down toward her, this caused them both to fall out of view of Spider-Man. Knowing he had to act fast, he stood at the center of the roof and webbed the right wing using both of his hands. He grunted, causing a vein to pop out of his forehead as he began steering the plane to his left.

"RAAAAAAGH!" The plane began to slowly tilt, flying away from the direction of the One World Trade Center. With his other hand, he webbed the left wing and began pulling up in an attempt to gain altitude. The strain on his muscles could be seen as they bulged outward and his costume began forming around them.

From inside the One World Trade Center, people began to panic, afraid that the tragedy from two decades ago was about to repeat itself. One of the workers in the building stopped and looked at the plane, spotting Spider-Man as he steered the plane in the other direction. "Look! It's him!" She pointed at the top of the plane, causing a few of her coworkers to stop and take a look as well.

Due to his sheer strength and determination, Spider-Man managed to turn the wing enough to allow the plane to barely miss the building by a few inches. "Not this time!" He shouted as the plane continued to narrowly miss the building. The few people watching from inside the building and the passengers on the plane let out sounds of astonishment due to the impressive feat.

Now close enough to the city, Harry's voice could be heard through Eren's mask."Eren! Can you finally hear me? Holy shit, dude!"

"Yeah. Holy shit. Where do I bring this thing!? Where's an open field?"

"Uh…" Harry's keyboard clicking could be heard in the background as he attempted to pinpoint a location. "The park in Greenwich! It's east of your current direction! About two miles!"

"Understood." Spider-Man began leveling out the plane and directing it toward the park.

After a few minutes of piloting, he could see the park in the distance. However, he could also spot a large number of people in the park below. They attempted to move out of the way, but due to the speed of the plane, not all of the people were able to get out of the way in time. As soon as the plane touched down, he lept off it and entered his Ultimate Godspeed form.

As if the world slowed down, he landed and began sprinting toward the helpless civilians as the plane followed closely behind him, kicking up dirt and grass as it dug into the Earth. He grabbed a child who was starstruck by the moving plane and his mother trying to save him and pulled them to the side.

Another woman was seen trying to outrun the plane, he shot a web at her, using it to pull her out of the way before running back toward the plane, spotting an old man walking his dog. He grabbed the little Shih Tzu dog with one hand as he grabbed the old man with his other hand and dragged him out of the way.

The final group of civilians appeared to be a family of three. He spread his arms wide as he sprinted toward them, embracing them all with his long arms before pushing them to the side at a safe distance from the crashing plane. Now that everyone on the ground was safe, he leaped onto the nose of the plane which was sliding into the ground, and leaned back on it, using his feet as brakes.

He began webbing random objects such as trees, poles, gazebos, and anything else that can help him stop the momentum of the plane as he used everything he had to bring it to a complete stop. At this point, the aircraft was about halfway through the park and if it made it to the other half, it would crash into buildings and the traffic on the street.

"AAAAAAH!" Not wanting that to happen, he screamed due to the immense pain and strain that he was putting on his body, however, this pain meant nothing to him as long as the people on the plane were safe.

As he tried to prevent the chaotic crash from happening, a few of the objects that he had webbed snapped, however, the plane still began to slow down as it approached the other side of the park. He continued shooting out webs to gain more resistance, causing the plane to slow down even more.

The plane was finally coming up on the street, and people with self-awareness began exiting their vehicles and attempting to get out of the way. Spider-Man dug deeper, using all of the muscles in his legs and back to push back on the plane and all of the muscles in his arms to tug and grip his webs.

Just before hitting the street, the plane came to a complete stop, barely causing Spider-Man's leg to tap the vehicle in front of him. He let out a sigh of relief before falling onto his hands and knees next to the plane, breathing heavily as that took a lot out of him.

"Eren!? Are you okay? Holy shit!" Harry was in disbelief at the strength that he had just witnessed firsthand through Eren's eyes. He knew Eren was strong, but to stop a plane with just his body was insane.

"I'm fine." The hero caught his breath before standing back up and walking over to the side of the plane. He yanked the emergency door from its hinges and jumped into the cabin of the plane.

As soon as he entered they began to cheer and applaud him. He waved at them slightly but cut the celebration short. Knowing he didn't have the time, he silenced them and made sure everyone is okay. "Is anyone injured? Does anyone need medical treatment!" After scanning the plane and seeing that everyone was somehow safe, he exited the plane.

Being so distracted with Eren's feat, Harry failed to notice that Cindy was no longer holding her own against the Green Goblin, in fact, it was turning into a one-sided beatdown. "Eren, you need to get to her fast! She's in serious trouble!"

Without another word, Spider-Man dashed forward, using everything he could to get to Silk in time.
