Alright! It's about time that this damn thing finally got released. I am now pretty sure that this is going to be the very last chapter of Web of Waves (thank God).

Well...still hope you enjoyed this last chapter of the story that's been disappointing to me

#################################################################################################################################################

Jackal leaped towards Spider-Man whom jumped and sticked to the ceiling. Spider-Man webbed Jackal's feet and managed to yank him through the office door, causing a hole in doing so. Spider-Man leaped to get through the hole and he found a table getting thrown at him. Spider-Man flipped to get away but he couldn't be fast to dodge the next blow as the Jackal hammered his head down onto the floor.

Jackal grabbed the back of his head and punched his ribs which made Spider-Man gasp in pain before he got thrown across the lab before he got thrown to a wall.

Spider-Man: 'Oh man...he really packs a punch.'

Symbiote: 'And he's faster then given credit for. And those claws don't exactly help, along with the limited space in here.'

Jackal: Oh come now, Peter...don't tell me this is all you can do…

Spider-Man: Oh don't worry. I'm just getting started!

Jackal started leaping between the walls with superhuman speeds, before he managed to tackle Spider-Man on the ground as he pinned him to a wall and started to trade punches to his head. Spider-Man kept grunting from the pain before he raised his leg and kneed Jackal in the stomach before making an uppercut to his chin which sent him flying back. Spider-Man than webbed a table behind Jacklal before he proceeded to pull it, hitting Jackal to his blind spot in the process. Spider-Man sticked to the ceilings as he saw Jackal getting up while rubbing his head.

Spider-Man: I don't get it. Why are you of all people attacking me? I don't exactly recall doing anything to you!

Jackal: Oh. This isn't exactly what you think it is, Wall-Crawler. This isn't really anything personal.

Spider-Man: So why are you doing this stupid stuff?! I've done literally nothing wrong to you, and all of the villains I fought at least had some grudge against me! If it's nothing personal, why do this in the first place? To prove you can be next Big Man of Crime? To brag that you were the one who beated Spider-Man and found out his secret identity?

Jackal merely responded by chuckling at this, which confused and annoyed the Superhero. He shook his head.

Jackal: Oh no, nothing like that. Quite the contrary, I never really had any sort of a grudge against you in the first place. I was actually quite interested in you when I heard about you. After all, without you I couldn't really reproduce your twin clone now, could I. Though unfortunately, he wasn't like how I imagined him to be, but oh well. First time's for everything…

Spider-Man: So, what's your angle in all of this then?

Jackal: I'm only doing this for someone else's work. Really, it's that simple, Peter.

Spider-Man: So...you work for someone else then? Who is it? Doctor Octopus? Silvermane? Big Man himself?

Jackal: It's someone by the name of Shadow.

Spider-Man:...Shadow?

Symbiote: 'Wow...you would at least think that whoever came to with that name would have at least come up with something better.'

Spider-Man: Who is he? What does he want with me?

Jackal: I don't have much information on him to be honest. All I know is that he was the one who was helping me with these new villains you kept facing for the most part. Deal was to have them study you, and he could give me the money and resources I needed for more of my clones!

Symbiote: 'Keep him talking longer. It's clear that he's enjoying his voice right now. And it's giving us more time for the cops to get here.'

Spider-Man: 'Yeah I think I already got that.' You said you were working for him... That would mean he has something against me. Was it someone I encountered? Is it someone new?

Jackal: I really couldn't care less who it was either way.

Spider-Man widened his eyes when he saw the Jackal jumping up towards him. The teenager jumped away backwards as Jackal's claws pierced through the ceilings. Spider-Man countered by webbing the ceilings and pulled himself there before he kicked Jackal through the ceilings.

Symbiote: 'Now's your chance to get more space!'

Spider-Man listened by webbing himself above the highest ceilings where he could see glassed windows. He web zipped there before he crashed through it, as he got to the rooftop which gave him more space to fight in. He waited slightly before he saw the Jackal coming out as well.

Spider-Man started firing multiple webs at his enemy, to which Jackal grabbed them with his hands. Spider-Man widened his eyes when he saw Jackal pulling them forcefully as Spider-Man got moved away from the rooftop as he got sent flying down. He was about to get himself back out there but Jackal leaped towards him by grabbing both his arms, preventing him to escape. Spider-Man struggled to escape by using his strength, along with the precision to fire his webs. He then hit his back on the ground which made him grunt in pain.

Jackal: And now… (he got up while pinning his foot down on his chest while raising his claws at the neck)... To end this!

Harry was using the elevators from the OsCorp tower. He waited patiently for it to come down as he descended down to the lower floors. Reason being was that Smythe had called him personally to get here. He didn't leave too much detail as to why he did this, only that he would tell him once he got there.

He knew he wasn't in any trouble as he was quite certain he hadn't done anything remotely wrong. But he still didn't get as to why he called him personally like this…

The elevators stopped themselves, and the doors opened for Harry to come out. He stepped away. His eyes scanned to the place where he was at, and he saw the usual hallways he more or less crossed.

Harry: 'I don't get it. What did he want to show me here?'

He kept walking down further till he managed to find a hallway between some walls. That was odd. He didn't remember seeing that before… but nonetheless he continued walking down till he saw Alistair himself standing in front of him with the doors behind him.

Alistair: Ah, Harry! Glad you could make it!

Harry: Uh...right...what exactly did you call me here for? Am I in some kind of trouble?

Alistair: Trouble? Oh, no. Nothing like that. I brought you here because I wanted to show you something. It's from the talk we had before.

Harry: The nano machines thing?

Alistair: Exactly! I've been thinking, in case if you still didn't trust me, I thought I should you actually show you what I'm doing.

Harry: I thought you said you weren't allowed to do that?

Alistair: Not really. But I decided to screw it and do it anyways. However…

Harry: However…?

Alistair: I brought you here because I trust you, Harry. What I'm about to show you behind these doors, you'll have to keep to yourself.

Harry: Uhm...got it?

Alistair: I'm serious. I'm already through enough trouble as it is to show you here.

Harry: What exactly is even so secretive about this place anyways? It can't be that bad, can it?

Alistair: Machines to let me rule the world.

Harry: What?!

Alistair: Hehe. I'm just joking. But seriously, don't tell this to anyone unless it's someone you really trust.

With that, the new head of OsCorp got to the closed doors and started unlocking it by pressing numbers on the code, along with an eye scan and a handprint. The doors opened themselves as Alistair started walking towards the glassed path with the windows that were added on the sides so in case no-one fell. Harry looked around and was shocked to see what he was even looking at. Down below the floor were some unknown creatures that seemed to be locked up with glassed chambers, and seemed as though they weren't awake. When Harry looked in front of him again, he couldn't help but gasp loudly when he saw a creature that was trapped in a large glass chamber that was mostly covered with green gooey .

Harry. Oh my God…

Alistair: Told you.

Harry: Wh- What is that thing? What even are these - what is going on here?!

Alistair:What you're looking at in front of you is a Cross-Species. Or as I like to call them that at least.

Harry: Cross...Species?

Alistair: I'll keep it simple and say that they're genetically altered human experiments that went wrong.

Harry:...What?!

Alistair: Don't get the wrong idea. These...things existed for a quite a while now in this city we live in. They were captured here with the help of my machines. It's the sole reason why I became a head of OsCorp in the first place.

Harry: How long were these...things even here in the first place? How come we never saw one of these things pop up?

Alistair: I'd say over a year now. And again, I was hired to capture them, and since the public already had enough freaks in this city running around, I'd say it wasn't worth the effort for these things to know in public.

Harry: Well... I guess you have a point there…

Alistair: We've been thinking about whether or not we should destroy these creatures or somehow use them for our benefit. Arguments were sparked, but ultimately we decided to destroy them, and oh boy it was difficult to do that. I still have trouble doing these things…

Harry: How long till they're gone?

Alistair: I would estimate for about another month at best.

Harry: How do these even exist in the first place? Isn't there some cure?

Alistair: Believe me, we tried everything we could come up with to make them human again, but nothing worked. So destroying them is the only solution we came up with. There is no other alternative…

Harry: Uh...why exactly put this one in a place this huge? And why does it look like it wants to eat me…

Alistair: It's always like that, don't worry about it. As for why it's trapped like this...simply put, he is a literal walking disease. Any direct physical contact leads to infection, and infection can either lead you to death or turning into one of these yourself. Personally, I would prefer the latter.

Harry:... Any other creepy stuff I should know about?

Alistair: I think that's rather enough for today. How about we check out the nanobot lab?

Harry: Sounds good right about now.

He then received a phone call. He checked to his pocket to see who it was, and he saw that it was Gwen.

Alistair: A friend of yours I assume?

Harry: Uh...not exactly?

Alistair: Are you gonna answer it?

Harry:... (declines the call) Nah. I'll do it later.

Spider-Man double kicked Jackal's stomach which made him stumble back with his guard down. He then added by performing a bicycle kick before he webbed the walls behind Jackal before he launched himself, knocking him and Jackal as they crashed through the walls and fell at the same time.

Jackal managed to recover and went ahead to grab a table and smash it on Spider-Man's head. He yelled out as the table broke in half from the contact. Jackal went ahead to kick his hip which sended Spider-Man back at the end of the office they were in which cracked a wall.

Jackal: Get up! We're not done yet!

Jackal got to Spider-Man's side, and he was about to land a punch before the Wall-Crawler grabbed his fist and stopped it. He moved his head upwards and his masked lenses gave him a glare.

Spider-Man: I couldn't agree more...

Spider-Man brought up his left fist and punched Jackal's cheek which hurled him back through the office wall and landed roughly on the ground onto his back. Jackal got back up and went ahead to grab a table and threw it back at Spider-Man, who was already charging at him. Spider-Man backhanded it away, and he proceeded to jump in the air as he fired his webs at Jackal. Jackal rolled out of the way in time before Spider-Man crashed his feet down on the ground.

Jackal tried to catch him off guard by hammering Spider-Man's blind spot but with the Spider-Sense acting up, he managed to turn around in time and block it by putting both his arms above his head to stop the blow. Both of them were struggling to take the upper hand...but that wasn't until Jackal made a smirk where he let go one his arms, and proceeded to bring his claws and dig through Spider-Man's left hip.

Spider-Man yelled out in pain as he felt his side getting cut through by the claws. He stumbled backwards as he hissed painfully while he felt blood rushing out of his hip. The cut pierced through his skin but thankfully for him, the cut wasn't too deep, and his symbiote was already working on repairing this.

Before Jackal could move for another strike, he heard the sounds of police ringing thanks to his superhuman hearing.

Jackal: 'Damn it! I was stalled for too long! Now that there is evidence against me, I won't be able to continue my experiments! And own the ESU anymore! Oh well...no matter. I'll find a way out somehow, and I do have one treasure out of this…'

Thinking that Jackal might attack again, Spider-Man had changed with the Symbiote by launching black tendrils from his back and launched them at Jackle to get him away, to which the villain leaped in the air as he dodged them.

Jackal: You may have gotten away with luck this time, Parker! But don't forget that we will meet again!

Symbiote watched as the villain kept leaping till he got through the hole and he couldn't be seen anymore. Not wanting to let him get away, Symbiote went after him by web zipping, and he got on top of the rooftop. He kept turning his head but he couldn't see him anywhere.

Spider-Man: 'Damn, he's gone now…'

Symbiote: 'Not on my watch!' (he tries to use the Spider-Sense in order to track down Jackal) Hey... I think I found him — oh wait, nevermind...he's gone now.

Spider-Man: 'Gone?! He can't be gone! He knows who I am behind the mask!'

Symbiote: 'Look, just calm down... I know this looks pretty bad, but come on, who in their right mind would believe that a skinny teenager is gonna be Spider-Man in the first place?'

Spider-Man: 'Uhm...how about my crazy supervillains?!'

Symbiote: '...Ok, that does seem pretty bad, but relax! They're crazy but they can't be stupid. There's gotta be at least some evidence in this, and none of them ever really met Peter Parker in the first place.''Doesn't matter. I still can't allow someone to roam freely who knows my secret!'

Spider-Man: 'We'll go after him when we get the chance to recover. But right now your body needs rest from a wound like that.'

He looked down and saw the cops coming towards this way. He didn't really want to cause a panic with the wound, so the Symbiote webbed up his wound to cover it up as much as possible. So he went ahead to jump downwards on the ground, but when he landed on the ground he flinched. He saw George and other cops coming towards him.

George: Where's Warren?!

Symbiote: Hate to say it, but he's not here anymore. He ran the moment he heard you guys coming here.

Stan: Ah great. And just when we had evidence against this guy…

Symbiote: Sorry. Tried to stop him but we were caught off guard at the last second.

George: Do you know where he left?

Symbiote: Last we checked was he was somewhere south away from here.

George: Alright. We'll spread out troops, and in case we do find him, well I'm sure you'll be able to find us.

Symbiote: Got it. Just don't engage this guy head on. He's more on the superhuman leagues now, so damaging him might be a lot harder.

George: We'll see what we can do.

Symbiote was swinging through the city so he could find the clone version of himself...wherever he was...they may have suspected that he may have been on the warehouse where they fought each other. And it looked like they were correct as he saw the Scarlet Spider just standing on the top.

Symbiote: Hey! (lands down beside him) Thought we would find you here.

Scarlet Spider: I couldn't really think of any other place for you to meet me.

Symbiote: Fair enough.

Scarlet Spider: You...must be Peter Parker's symbiote then?

Symbiote: Pretty much. So, did you by any chance manage to get caught when giving the flash drive?

Scarlet Spider: Not exactly. I gave it to Captain Stacy's office and I saw no-one coming in there.

Symbiote: Well that explains how it took them a little longer to get to the ESU…

Scarlet Spider: Yeah... I guess…

Symbiote: Uh...you alright? You kinda seem pretty down.

Scarlet Spider: It's just that...this whole thing got really confusing all of a sudden. This entire day made no sense.

Symbiote:..Well we can see why that's the case.

Scarlet Spider: So...has Warren been arrested?

Symbiote: Unfortunately, no. He left us with a bad injury and got away.

Scarlet Spider:... I see.

Symbiote: So...what are you gonna do now?

Scarlet Spider: Well, I'll need to find Jackal or Warren on my own. I don't know why, but I just don't like him one bit.

Symbiote: And after that?

Scarlet Spider: I... I really don't know. I don't know who I'm even supposed to be. I know I feel like Peter Parker, but I just don't want that one bit.

Symbiote: So...form your identity?

Scarlet Spider: Maybe…

Symbiote: You got super powers. So maybe you can be a Superhero?

Scarlet Spider: Maybe... Is it alright if you can leave now? I just... I need some time for myself.

Symbiote: Uh… sure I guess?

With that, the Symbiote leaped off in the air and he started swinging in New York, leaving the clone's thoughts to himself.

Symbiote: 'Man...this has been a really weird day.'

Peter: 'Tell me about it. We found out that there's a clone of us that looks almost just like me, and that the owner of the ESU was a mad scientist that experimented on people by another bad guy that tried to drink his blood yesterday.'

Symbiote: '...Don't you think this is a little weird?'

Peter: 'I just said it, didn't I?'

Symbiote: 'Not that. This whole winning streak we've been getting.'

Peter: 'What do you mean?'

Symbiote: 'New supervillains we've been fighting, and we won every single battle with them. We got through more dates with Liz than we ever did before, and it's going pretty well. The potential sharing you may or may not get. Found out there was a mastermind that we still don't know off, and nothing bad happened happened much. It's as though that-'

Peter: 'Things are going our way in life…'

Symbiote: 'Exactly. The Parker Luck didn't put much effect either…'

Peter: 'So...are you saying that all these good things that were happening...may end up something horrible?'

Symbiote: 'Honestly...that may be the case.'

Peter: 'So...what are we gonna do?'

Symbiote: '... I honestly wish I knew…'

The Caveman Islands were indeed a lovely place in Florida. Plenty of sun, a pleasant and a comfortable atmosphere that would insure that you couldn't be bothered by anything. Especially for the blond man who was relaxing at these sights. Well it was more so his body that was already relaxing, but his mind was preoccupied with a phone call he was having.

Roman: So, you mean to tell me that this Parker boy is Spider-Man?

Jackal: I know it sounds very far fetched. But I know what I saw with my own eyes.

Roman: Wasn't this debunked several months ago?

Jackal: So did I. But with the help of a little research, and personal viewing, I've seen more than enough. I even went as far as to tear his mask… though unfortunately I couldn't have any photographic evidence.

Roman: And how did he look like by any chance?

Jackal: Around 16 or 17 years old. Brown hair and eyes. And apparently seems to live in Queens as well.

Roman: Hmmm…

Jackal: Well…?

Roman:... I'll look into it. Thank you for the information (ends the call before he went ahead to make another one. It took one ring before his call was answered.)

Menken: Yes?

Roman: I need to know, is it safe to start the experiment?

Menken: I was just about to call you about that. But yes, the serum itself now should be safe enough to start the serum.

Roman: Good. So now the OZ project can finally begin…

Menken: So, how long do you plan on coming back?

Roman: I'm still trying to figure that out. It might be around a year or so before I make a comeback in New York.

Menken: I see then...anything else?

Roman:... Can I ask if you can keep a close eye on Peter Parker?

Menken: One of your son's friends? Why exactly?

Roman: I just got some interesting information from Warren...about him being Spider-Man? I need to make sure if he is telling the truth.

Menken:... Alright…I'll see what I can do. (the call ends)

Roman just hung his hands at the back of his head while staring at the bright clouds.

Roman: 'Parker...if you really are who I think you are...things are going to get so much interesting when I come back. Though for your sake...enjoy your wins while it lasts, cause when I come back... I will unleash hell upon you!'

#################################################################################################################################################

Well…I'd say this was a decent finale to finish… or underwhelming for some of you. I'm sorry if I couldn't bring any more, but this was all I could come up with.

To be honest with you…I'm starting to get bored of writing this. It's why I ended this so soon. I don't think I'm going to cancel this...at least I hope not. I may still release season 4 but I really don't know when it's coming out.

If you did enjoy this, then thanks for reading this story. I appreciate it.
