421. What Happened in the Train ~Birth of the Red K...

*CHOO CHOO!!!*

*RUSH!!!*

In the city of Burnham, Earth-Prince, Bruce and Peter eat Pancit Canton on a train.

The song on Peter's phone plays, "Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, choo choo, baby... Try boxin' and beatin' and crappin' over me. You took away my morality and snatched away my ethicality and turned me into someone like the Red Knight, Daddy."

"I heard that Maharlica recently elected the Great-Grandson of the One Who Should Not Be Named," said Peter. "And he won!"

"I do not care," said Bruce.

"Well! Sure, we elect every ten years... But... Dude! Mr. Wayne! This guy's like... a fascist...?"

"No. He was authoritarian."

"Are you saying... you support this guy?"

"Do you really want to trash on a guy whose ancestor was demonized by the west? Hasn't he had enough...?" asked Bruce, sipping some soup.

Peter's eyes widen. "But... Oligarchies-!"

"Are illegal, yes... But the descendant of the one who shall not be named wasn't a Maharlican President. Just a Filipino one."

"SHEESH!!! Loopholes are loopholes. Weird that Miguel JoJo kept that because that's pretty corruption-y."

"Yeah... I don't care."

"You're apolitical!?"

"No... But I can totally puppeteer him."

Peter looks left and right. "Wait, what?"

"I won't. But I totally could."

I predicted the elections with that one chapter when Gabrielle and the others were arguing back in JoJoverse. Boom. I'm God.

Son Christ, dude... No, you're not.

Pfft... I'm gonna predict another thing. Um!!! The Messiah comes out to the world in 2029 to fight the evil Anti-Allied Powers, the Socialist Party! And he will have a cool sword... And... A dragon...! And... The Angels are actually kinda like aliens... And the end of the world will be the beginning of a new era of coolness!

DUDE!!!

What!? I predict everything... NGYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!!! Seriously, though. I'm not a fascist. Don't cancel me pwease... (And the One Who Shall Not Be Named was Authoritarian, NOT fascist, in accordance to my research. Reaction? Filipinos are pretty mixed? MY OPINION!? Well, either I anger Filipinos or I anger the west. So... I won't talk! YOU WON'T MAKE ME!!!YOOOU WOOON'T M-!!!)

I mean, literally, your first series was about stopping fascists and socialists...  Now, it's about beating up anarchists... You did a pretty good job

Wh-whoa... Do you really think I did...?

*nods...*

Yeah, yeah... Yeah! Thank you! *sniff, sniff...* Wow... People like me...? Hooray for Liberalism!

And Conservatism!

What is it with you and Conservatism...!? Your own son is a liberalist!

Pfft... I'm practically everything's Dictator. And... they see me rollin'? They hatin'... I'm God, Author... I'm The One Above All...

Bruce and Peter realize that everyone is asleep on the train because it's night.

They happily eat noodles.

"Huh..." said Peter. "It's so weird that everyone knows I'm Spider-Man in this Universe while no one has ever heard of me in others."

"Yeah... That's why Memory-Wiping is essential unless you're part of the Hellsing Organization," said Bruce.

Suddenly, Peter senses something wrong.

Bruce squints his eyes. "You noticed something wrong, too?"

"Yeah..." said Peter, as his eyes squint.

"Let's go," said Bruce, standing up, as he places their foods in a portal bin. Peter does so as well and follows after Bruce.

"Do you have your Web-Shooters?" asked Bruce.

"Yep," said Peter.

"Okay..."

*clang!!!*

Peter senses that the sound came from the end of the train.

"The end of the train," said both.

They look at each other and go on to the back of the train.

*SPLAT!!!*

Bruce and Peter open the cabin and see that a man is dead.

"Oh, Jesus Christ," said Peter.

Bruce touches his forehead with the back of his hand. "He's warm. The killer's in here."

Peter senses a tingle.

Peter blocks the punch and crashes outside.

Bruce turns around and sighs. "Hello, Fisk."

Kingpin smiles. "Good evening, Mr. Wayne. Or... Should I say... Batman..."

Bruce breathes out softly. "Peter. You're okay, there?"

"I'M FINE!!!" yelled Peter, clinging to the wall of the train. Suddenly, a sign gets closer, so Peter jumps to the top of the train.

"It's amazing how much trust you have for Spider-Man..."

"What are you doing here?" Bruce squinted his eyes.

"I am here because I was paid a fine amount to... well... work for a special friend of mine."

"Rasputin, I wonder...?" asked Bruce.

"Yes..." said Kingpin. "This... partnership... It is a reminder of mine that it is an absolute requirement that one of the finest heroes of Prime-Earth and Earth-616 should kill a whole train of... insignificant civilians. We would reach our goal of... well... framing you."

Bruce squints his eyes.

Bruce charges at Kingpin and punches him in the face with Brass Knuckles he quickly equipped, as his nose severely bled.

Kingpin shooks his head and punches Bruce, making him crash into the Gangway Bellow.

Bruce slowly stands up, but Kingpin grabs him and beats him over and over again.

So, Bruce presses a button on his watch that lets out a sonic screech as Kingpin covers his ears. Bruce's ears, however, are covered by high-tech earplugs.

Bruce stands up and punches Kingpin over and over again with his Promethium Brass Knuckles.

Bruce's sleeves are also revealed to be equipped with an exo-sleeve that allows Bruce to equal Kingpin.

Kingpin tries crushing his arm, but the Exo-Batsuit prevents it from breaking.

Bruce smiles and kicks Kingpin away in his Exo-Batsuit, which is similar to the one he wore in Kingdom Come and the one Kevin Conroy wore in Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Bruce grabs Kingpin and punches him over and over again.

Meanwhile, Peter clings to the top of the roof and sees that the end of the track is a dead-end, blown up seemingly by Antipower supporters.

"Holy shit..." said Peter. Peter began crawling quickly toward the front of the train.

*CLANG!!! CLANG!!!*

Peter senses danger and sees that there are ninjas in front of him. "What the hell?"

The ninjas are all wall-crawling like Peter using special high-tech adhesive gloves and socks.

Peter shoots webs at each of their hands and punches two of them. One falls off, so Peter webs him up back to the top of the roofs.

One ninja shoots at Peter with a Gatling gun on his shoulder, shooting Peter in the face, but his suit activates and the bullets bounce off of his suit. He then webs their guns. Peter then crashes the one man into the window and ties him up inside of the train.

The other man grabs him and shoots him in the face. Again, the suit is a titanium-based tri-weaved kevlar, similar to Bruce's latest Batsuit. Peter then stands up and begins fistfighting the ninja on top of the roof.

The ninja has an exosuit, allowing him to equal Peter.

Peter gets punched away as Peter rolls on the roof of the train but managed to cling with his four fingers on his right hand. 

The ninja then grabs him and tries throwing him off the train, but Peter webs back on the train's wall, he webs the ninja, and he crashes themselves into the train's window.

Peter punches the man over and over then proceeds to web him.

The people on the train are shown to have woken up by the commotion and have run to the front of the cart. 

"Is everyone okay?" asked Peter.

One person points behind Peter.

Peter's Spidey Sense tingles as he turns around, slowly, with his goggles contracted.

"Put him down..." said Peter.

"Or what...?" asked the man.

*click*

*THWIP!!!*

Right as he was about to unlock his safety, Peter webbed the gun as he tackled the man to the ground. Peter then angrily punches the man over and over again, as flashes of Aunt May's corpse and a sobbing MJ flicker in his mind.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" roared Peter.

"Yes... Show them who you really are..."

Peter stops, realizing that his fist is filled with blood. The man coughs blood as he drops to the ground.

Peter's goggles dilate as he pants out of tiredness. 

"It seems... like him... You have adopted the dark."

"Bane..." Peter looks up.

"Bingo, daddy-o," he spoke with his classic Tom Hardy accent. "It is quite a peculiar time to meet someone like you.The Bat truly took the Spider under his wing. I didn't believe it when I heard it. But seeing you now shows our culture... Our tradition... splattered all over your fists..." Bane turns to Peter's bloody fist, as he hides it. "Who knows? You could be his successor."

Peter webs the man to the ground and slowly stands up. "I can never be Bruce. I can never be Tony, either."

"But you are becoming more like him! Correct?" sneered Bane. "An agent of vengeance he is... And his fist of vengeance you are... A Red Knight.I saw his Robin... Die that night... You're just one of his... replacements..."

"I'm more than just that..." said Peter.

Bane sighs. "I could offer you a better-..."

*THWIP!!!*

Bane catches his web bullet with his hand. "That was awfully rude."

"You talk a lot," Peter charges at Bane, but Bane punches him to the ground with one swing.

Meanwhile...

Kingpin beats Bruce over and over again into submission. "So... This is the Batman...? As sad as this is... I have a train to blow up."

Kingpin throws a handkerchief at his face.

"Clean yourself up for now..." said Kingpin, walking into the cabin.

Bruce awakens and tries standing up, but the suit isn't responding. So, he deactivates his exosuit, standing right back up, slowly but surely regaining his strength.

Bruce charges into the room, but Kingpin closes the door as the ninjas enter through the windows.

Bruce then pulls up his sleeves and loosens his tie.

The people hide in their cabins as the ninjas try shooting at them, as Bruce smiles.

All their guns explode.

"Do you think I'm stupid enough to not invent these?" Bruce shows that he's remote-controlling tiny drones.

They all attack at once as Bruce is overwhelmed almost immediately, so Bruce begins breaking their bones one by one.

First, he broke the bones of those closest to his body. He then presses a button on his watch and a shockwave occurs, blasting away all of the ninjas and slightly breaking the cabins.

Bruce slowly stands up and begins beating up three ninjas, getting stabbed in the arm twice as he ends up knocking two out. He then headbutts the third one. The fourth one, he grabbed his tie and grappled his arm, snapping his bone in half Bruce then grapples his neck and bashes his head into the metal door, knocking him out.

Ten of the other ninja warriors attack at once, but Bruce pulls a metal bar of the train out from the wall with a laser on his watch. Bruce then blocks all of their katanas and knocks each of them out.

One tries to kill a civilian to piss Bruce off, but he tosses the stick into the ninja's face and knocks him out, as the stick bounces on the floor and bounces back into his hand.

Note: Bruce installed the bouncy Promethium bars of trains all over Maharlica to make sure that if anyone tries to do a terrorist attack on a train, officials very well know that they are legally allowed to pull the bars out of the train and beat the terrorists up in case of emergency.

Bruce then beats the ten ninjas one by one. For the first three, he immediately broke their arms and knocked them one. The fourth did a back kick, so he dislocated his leg by grabbing his shoulders and stomping on it and knocked him out. The fifth and the sixth were beaten over and over again with his fist and his stick. The seventh, eighth, and ninth were knocked out at once as he tossed his stick at them. The tenth ninja picked up the stick and prepared to strike Bruce down, but Bruce grabs the stick as the ninja was about to strike and beat the ninja over and over again. He kept on beating him over and over.

After that, he brushes off his suit and fixes his tie as he speedwalks toward Kingpin.

Meanwhile, Peter punches Bane over and over again, but Bane grabs his head and begins crushing it.

"I always wondered what would break first... Your spirit..."

Peter thwips his eyes, but Bane ignores this and grabs Peter by the shoulder, and holds him up. He then drops him down his kneed.

"Or your body!" yelled Bane, as he knee kicks Peter's back.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" sobbed Peter, dropping to the floor.

*CLANG!!!*

A civilian on the train had struck Bane at the back of the head.

"How... dare you..."

"NO!!!" yelled Peter, trying to stand up.

Bane grabs the man by his neck and throws him to the ground, breaking his ribs.

"NOOOOOOO!!!" sobbed Peter.

The other civilians begin throwing objects at Bane.

"Do you think that you have anything against me...?" asked Bane, as he is about to grab a little girl's head.

Mayday's face flashes before Peter's eyes, as he stands up and tackles Bane into the Gangway Bellow and beats him over and over again.

"GRAUGH!!! RAUGH!!! RAUGH!!! YOU DON'T GET TO FUCKING DO THAT!!! DON'T YOU DARE..."

*CRACK!!!*

"FUCKING!!!"

*CRACK!!!*

"KILL!!!"

*CRACK!!!*

"HER!!!"

Meanwhile...

Bruce walks out of the cabin, leaving several ninjas with broken bones.

Bruce walks into the Gangway Bellow Peter is on, seeing that he's brutally beating a bloody Bane.

"WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO!? Then... YOU... HAVE... MY... PERMISSION-!!!"

Bruce tackles Peter as he falls to the ground, so Peter punches Bruce in the face as he crashes into the wall.

Bruce's node bled heavily upon the impact, as he relocates his nose and stands right back up. "Peter... Calm the hell down..."

"This... piece... of shit... was going to kill a little girl."

"And that piece of shit helped kill my son," said Bruce. "We don't kill, Peter... We don't FUCKING kill! What you were doing was practically a death wish to who you are!"

Peter sighs and breathed angrily. "I feel like that the more we hang out, the more I go closer to becoming you."

Bruce sighs. "Yeah... I know... I'm sorry..."

You're teasing what the third Arc is about, aren't y-?

I'm teasing the third Arc. Yes.

"Peter... Peter, just calm-..."

Peter senses a man about to leap out from outside the window.

As he crashes in, Peter grabs him by the neck and punches his neck, angrily.

Peter breathes in and out, angrily.

Peter's eyes dilate, realizing that the man's mouth is foaming. "Wh-...?"

The man drops to the ground and begins having a seizure as his neck begins expanding.

"Wh-...?" Peter's hands shake in fear.

"Peter..." said Bruce. "Peter... Fuck..."

Bruce presses yet another button on his watch.

Rick's hand pops out with a portal and zaps the man in the head, frying his brain and killing him.

Rick does a thumbs-up as he leaves the portal.

"There! Rick killed him! You didn't!" yelled Bruce. "I didn't either. It doesn't fucking count. Let's go..." Bruce walks away.

"He was about to die... In... a few seconds..." said Peter, as he takes off his mask.

Bruce stops for a second and sighs.

"I killed... him..." Peter's voice broke.

"You didn't fucking kill him! Rick did! I did! I called Rick! I DID!!!" roared Bruce. Bruce grabs Peter's face, who is about to cry. "Hey! Hey, look at me... Peter.... Look at me... Don't fucking cry right now... Because you didn't kill anyone."

Peter begins to cry. "Holy fucking shit... Holy shit..." He shook on the ground.

"Peter... Peter... Peter, listen. These people need you right now."

He sees that some of them are videoing Peter with their phones.

"Peter... If you don't do anything, they die."

Peter begins to cry.

"Peter... CHILDREN are on board!"

Peter is just... crying.

Bruce sighs and hugs him. "I'm sorry... Hey... Hey, I'm sorry. I taught you to hate... too much, and I'm sorry..." Bruce's voice broke.

Peter hugs him back and sobs on his shoulder.

"I'm a terrible mentor... I'm also a terrible father..." said Bruce. "I never meant for this to happen to you. And I'm so Goddamned sorry... I know... You're confused right now... Like... you weren't the one doing what you've done... But you did it... And you feel like you just woke up after blacking out... But it'll get better. Listen to me. It'll get better. I promise you... Just, please... Help me stop this train."

"Okay..." said Peter.

Peter stands up and crashes outside as he webs to the side of the train and swings to the front of the train.

The train gets closer to the end.

Peter begins to cry again, but closes his eyes, shakes his head, turns around, and puts his legs on the tracks to try and stop it, but it doesn't work.

The train gets even closer.

So, Peter begins webbing the buildings around the train over and over to the point where the train begins slowing down.

The train is much closer, around less than a hundred meters.

His suit, spectacularly, doesn't break, as Peter kept on pulling harder as the train finally stops inches before the end, but it kept on going as half of the first cart stayed hanging above the tracks.

Suddenly, the video gets shared around the network as all of Maharlica saw what happened... in the Train.
