Ch. 15 Enter Sandman

3rd pov

Several Minutes before the Explosion happened.

An unmarked self-driving car with darkened windows two passengers Flint Marco, and a hacked Atlassian Knight that is being used a proxy for Norman Osborn, Norman Is talking through the robot but with a voice scrambler, to keep his identity a secret.

Flint Marco is in solid form is still has a sandy color all over his body

Proxy Robot: OK you got your clothes, now concentrate.

Flint: *nph*

Flint finally gets his color back

Proxy Robot: Now you're in color, see it's not so bad.

Flint: NOT SO BAD!? I AM MADE OF GODS DAMN SAND!

Proxy Robot: Sure maybe you are, but now you have power, and nobody can stand in your way, not even Spider-Man, now you can get revenge for all those times he took you down.

Flint: Yeah, Wait no revenge was for losers I only wanted was enough money for, wait I don't need to explain myself to you I don't even know who you are!

Proxy Robot: Now listen, you little nobody!

Flint: NO! Flint Marco was a nobody, but everyone will know the name Sandman!

Sandman then kicks the car door open and turns into sand and exites the car.

Then he morphs his hands to giant hands made of sand then grabs the car and throws it at a nearby tanker.

*BOOOOOM*

The noise of the explosion could be heard for miles thankfully nobody was in the general area.

Sandman then looks and sees that he is very close to the same exact bank he tried to rob before he was put away.

Sandman: *Smiles* Hows about we try this again.

And in one swift motion, he turns into a stream of sand and breaks into the bank by through all the windows at the same time.

Gaurd1: What the Hell is that thing

Gaurd2: I don't know just shoot it

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

However, he just absorbs the bullets and spits them back out, and grins.

Gaurd1: SHHHHHHHH.....

Meanwhile, Spider-Man is going to where he heard the explosion while he was on his date with Yang. and finds that firefighters are around a busted tanker.

He then sees a commotion at the bank and followed then sees Flint exiting with bags FILLED with money,

Spidy then just jumps on a nearby car and squats down.

Spider-Man: Seriously Flint Marco, could not have picked another day to rob your next bank, I was having a really nice evening so I don't mean to be rude but it would just be a lot easier on me if you just turned your self in so I can go back to my date.

Sandman: Awww, sorry I messed your romantic evening web head but hey I can give you something that will get you good and hammered.

He then morphs his hand into a hammer and stretches it as he swings it at Spider-Man.

Spider-Man: OH GOD!!

*BAM* He is nocked about a dozen feet and is a little slow to get up.

Spider-Man: OW! Ok, two things. First, that pun was terrible, second WHAT THE HELL...

Sandman: Happened? I happened the Sandman happened!

At the Moment he used his sand to extend his arms and punch Spider-Man into an 18 wheeler truck and denting it.

Spider-Man: *Hmpf* Now here I thought People turning into birds was going to be the strangest thing I have seen.

He then spins a web to a nearby building to swing then tries to swing kick Marco but when he tries his legs get stuck in his torso and he can't move.

Spider-Man: How is this physically possible!

He tries to get out but to no avail.

Sandman: Hey, Spidey need a hand?

He then turns his hand into a giant fist made of sand.

Spider-Man: OK I..um..I...*sigh* OK I am going to need some time to think of some good Sand quips you got a pen.

Sandman responded by raising his fist in the air and Spidey raised his arms to block in the incoming attack.

Sandman: AHHHHHHH!!

Sandman started to rapidly punch Spidey while all he could do was block as if he where a boxer forced into the corner of the ring betting pumbled by his opponent.

Sandman started to spin Spidey and then swung him into the bank he just robbed.

Spider-Man: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! *He then crashes into the reseptionist desk* offffff, *moans* ow.

Sandman: Hahaaha! Yeah, that's what happens when you mess with the Sand...

Soldier 1: Flint Marco! This is Oscorp Private Militia, you are surrounded surrender now or we will open fire!

Marco looks and sees about 20 soldiers on all sides

Sandman: Cute.

Sandman threw a punch at about 5 at once knocking them out, and the others took cover and started firing their guns, but they weren't guns like the Atlas Knights had these guns actually seemed to be effective against the Sandman. They did not do much but it was something.

Meanwhile at the bank y/n was regaining his focus.

y/n pov

OK y/n focus, he is a being made of Sand, how he got turned into this Sandman, is something I am going to have to look into later but now I need to work out how to beat him.

He is durable and can take any punch, kick or any spidey trademarked move that I can throw at him. But even the strongest sand can be worn down, but punches or whatever those Osborn guys are using won't cut it he will just regenerate to fast, only if I had some water but I can't lead him to the docks, the streets are busy and who knows how many will get hurt. Wait! I saw some fire trucks just a few blocks down. YES! if I can lead him there I should be able to use the water long enough to get the upper hand, which shouldn't be too hard Marco is not very bright.

3rd pov

Soldiers are holding their ground but they are being slowly overtaken by the Sandman.

Soldier 2: We need to fall back.

Soldier 1: No we hold the line! We have our orders subdue and contain.

They keep firing but they just can't keep the Sandman down. But out of nowhere a manhole cover comes and knocks Marcos legs out from under him but they almost immediately regenerate. Marco immediately turns to see what just happened. And he is less than thrilled to see Spider-Man on the side of a building waving to him.

Spider-Man: Hey Marco why don't you pick on someone on your own strength.

Sandman: Gladly as soon as I meet one.

Spider-Man: Oh that is actually a good comeback. But seriously Marco, just tell me who did this to you and I can help you!

Sandman: Oh NO! I know when to keep my mouth shut, I DON'T wanna end up like the guy with the energy gloves!

Spider-Man: Energy gloves? Wait! You mean Shocker!? What happened to Shocker!?

Sandman: Oh crap! No, I can't, I just want to get my money and leave the kingdom so s..stop asking questions.

He tries to sand rush him but y/n dodges it and swings away toward to the firetrucks

y/n: Come on please still have a hose connected to a fire hydrant.

He swings until he sees a fire hydrant and as luck would have it it was still connected to the firetruck hose.

Spider-Man: Yes!

He then jumps down to it with Sandman hot on his heels, and in one quick motion, he grabs hose turns it on and aims it at Sandman dousing him in water.

This causes Marco to fall to the ground and become a Mudman rather than a Sandman.

Spider-Man: Got him!

Spidey doesn't wast this chance, he jumps kicks Sandman and then starts punching and kicking him without slowing down until he finishes his barrage of attacks with a front flip kick to the jaw.

Sandman stumbles back

Spider-Man: Marco please if you just tell me what's going on I can protect you.

Sandman: No way man, you have not seen what I have seen, I don't want to end up dead or back in the laboratory.

Spider-Man: Laboratory? But...

Before he could finish that thought a shot rings out and what looks like kinetic net lands on Sandman Subduing him and an Oscorp soldier ties it up and picks up the bag containing Marco as if he were buying a bag of soil.

Soldier 1: Thanks for dampening his power Spider-Man but we will take it from here.

Spider-Man: What! Where are you taking him!?

Soldier 1: Oscorps Main Research Ship.

Spider-Man: What have you seen him he needs a doctor.

Soldier 1: Don't worry Sidey he will be given the best care.

The militia walks away as Spider-Man tries to figure everything out.

Later that night

Spidey is on the side of a tall building deep in thought

Spider-Man: I never seen Marco so afraid, he was always so fearless that's why he never stopped trying to get money even though he knew I would catch him. Whoever did this to him they don't seem like someone who you want to get on the wrong side of. Whoever they are they must have bigger planes than Shocker, and Sandman, and I can only think of one place where someone can gain sand powers overnight. *Looks at Oscorp Mother Ship* Maybe I should pay them an after-hours visit.

Meanwhile on General Ironwood Atlas Ship

Torchwick is sitting in his tiny cell making music with his mouth to pass the time when his cell door opens. It is pitch black on the other side but he can make out a man with yellow eyes holding general Ironwoods revolver.

Torchwick: Alright I'll bite, who are you?

???: Today I am death. *cocks revolver aims it as Torchwicks head.*

Torchwick: W..what...are you doing!?

???: Well you have an annoying tendency to, well survive I have to decide to take it upon myself, to fix that. Hahahahahhahahahahhahaaaahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!

Torchwick: No, Please wait!

???: Hahahahahah*bang*Hahahaha*bang*Hahahaha*bang*Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

???: Oh its so therapeutic to laugh.
