Walking Dead.

Ben Reilly's trying to decide if the 'completely resurrected' dead are creepier than zombies. At least with zombies, you can put them down without remorse... although they just keep coming

... and that's when he hears the snarl, and gets blindsided by a six-armed monster.

"Oh, crap," Ben snaps, before going limp to try and roll with the blow. Holy crap is this - no, the TEETH, but... crap crap crap.

Ben slips down and tries to flip himself onto the thing's back before - NNG! - too late, claws scraping his legs...

The creature slams the Spider onto a rooftop and pins him down with four of its arms, clutching his head with the upper two.

The teeth are not unlike Venom.

The red is not unlike Carnage.

The eyes - they're all creepy.

Swinging down from above, comes a similarly-clad figure - the swing arcs into a double-footed kick at the Doppelganger.

"Is it surreal in here, or is it just me? And me? And me?"

Norman knows Parker's lack of a lethal instinct, and thus he doesn't move in anticipation of a direct hit. Instead, an impossible spin move - a complete mastery of the glider of his own design.

"Then he's weak! The Green Goblin is power, not simpering like some friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man!"

[dead_n_departed]

Suddenly, a six-armed monster comes spiraling upwards out of cotrol, to peg one of the two Goblins...

[acloneinthedark]

... flung by the other Spider in the area.

"Crap! Which one is which?! Which one is the bastard that killed Gwen?!"

He still has some issues about that.

[dead_n_departed]

The answer might not come fast enough, as Norman arcs his glider to deflect the oncoming beast, toward either Harry or Parker, whomever is closer.

"ANOTHER of your idiot sychophants, Parker? This city has obviously gone to hell since you killed me..."

Norman is slammed by Spider-Man's maneuvering with the stovepipe, then caught in the storm of Harry's Flyers.

Defensively, he wields the pipe against the flyers while his course starts to radically shift out of control... towards a tenement building's top floor.

[dead_n_departed]

The Doppleganger, meanwhile, recovers enough to scramble up the webline and screw up Norman's trajectory even more by pouncing from his glider toward the Web-Head, teeth bared - and he's still smoldering and hot to the touch after that electric shock.

Ben is in serious pain, lying in a pile of rubble, but his vision clears enough at the Green Goblin offering him help that he catches the Yellowgoblin's move, and quickly his one good arm raises up and a glob of impact webbing is shot up to smother the bomb before it explodes.

"Get down!"

[greenharry]

-crap. Both flyers went after Norman. At least it gave Pete some breathing roo-

"Hobgoblin!" The Green Goblin snaps, leaping up into the air in time with Ben's 'Get Down!', pressing yet another button on his gauntlet...

...causing the Sky Stick to /rocket/ towards Hobgoblin's position! Don't worry, kids, Harry's replaced the spikes with a battering ram.

Landing with a swoop by Ben, Harry coughs once, groaning. "I really hate that guy." The Goblin offers the Spider, fishing around in his cloak for a second before pulling out a purple and green arasol can. "Here, this should help with the pain and the bleeding a little."

Two hours later, by the time that all the dead returned from whence they came, the body of Norman Osborn was found in an alley, a razorbat in his chest.

The costume of the Green Goblin was nowhere to be found.
