"To a point." Tsukasa said. "While I am not quite as powerful as him...or ZI-O, I have friends. Build has some ways of helping, he merged two realities once." He turned. "We should move out soon. Someone kind of stirred the hornets nest."
--------
"Among other things." Punisher said. "No one shoots a president and gets to live."
---------
"Not near here. But we need to make time." Shokichi said.
----------
Joyce walked in carefully and looked around.

"To a point." Tsukasa said. "While I am not quite as powerful as him...or ZI-O, I have friends. Build has some ways of helping, he merged two realities once." He turned. "We should move out soon. Someone kind of stirred the hornets nest." -------- "Among other things." Punisher said. "No one shoots a president and gets to live." --------- "Not near here. But we need to make time." Shokichi said. ---------- Joyce walked in carefully and looked around. "Yes, let's... we might be needed elsewhere." said Brainiac-5. --- "Great, so we gonna kill 'em. Let's go!!!" said Arrowcaster. (Continued in Assassination Attempt) --- "As always, time is of the essence." said Lydia. --- Peter walked in as well and held Joyce's hand. His Spider-Sense then tingled. "Can I help you?" uttered a man with a rather soft-spoken, raspy voice. However, despite how ordinary it sounded, his voice did feel a bit unsettling. "Oh, we wanted to buy some drinks." said Peter before looking around and seeing renaissance paintings hanging on the wall. "And maybe talk about these paintings." "Oh, really? Well, they are some of my prized possessions." said Prescott. Although he was just an inch shorter that Peter, his more stocky, heavyset appearance really made him appear to be stronger. His demeanor was relaxed and laidback, but still, it unnerved Peter. "Y'see this one?" said Prescott, showing a painting to Peter. "The Birth of Venus. What a beauty." Prescott then saw Joyce's face. The way he looked at her was somewhat odd. He was remembering something of his horrible past alleigance with the NYPD. She looked just like the daughter of the man he hated most, the late Captain George Stacy. "Have I seen you before?" uttered Prescott, looking at Joyce. "Oh, she's my fiancée, Joyce Delaney." said Peter. "She reminds me of a pretty Irish girl... Irish girls are so pretty... so good in bed... too bad their fathers are always such jerks and assholes that constantly need to be taught a lesson." said Prescott, not letting out what was really in his mind, but it was enough to give Peter an idea that before being killed, the Irish girls had been assaulted. Peter gulped a bit and then continued. "Well... um... anyway... I think you were showing us the painting." said Peter. "Oh, yeah... Birth of Venus. I bought this one on an auction. Really proud of it, too." said Prescott. "Isn't it a beauty?" In the storage room, Sarah was taking note of any items that looked like they didn't belong to Prescott. She was wearing gloves as she examined the items. This list of items could help in a search warrant once it was approved. Among the items, she found two driving licenses. One belonged to Susan Shaw, the killer's first victim, the other, to Lauren Macintosh, the eighth victim. She then went to another table and saw a ring, which belonged to Beth O'Reilly.

"Let's take the fight to the FBI infiltrators." Tsukasa transformed into Decade.
"Dibs on any treasure." Diend said, doing the same.
"Well, we came all this way..." Cosmic Boy said. "and they are metal..."
--------
"That is why were are on the move." Kuuga said, uplling up. "So...are you the victim?"
---------
"Well, it is an Irish name, so I imagine I have some history there." Joyce said. She had a file concealed in her hand in case he moved in fast. "But no. Well not exactly. I was kidnapped by a psychopath and he turned me into someone else. It kind of stuck. Only in New York, huh?" She said, ready in case he acted. "It is a nice piece."

I am." uttered Felicia in Lydia's body. "I was killed by a clone. I thought she was the real deal, but..." She then shivered a bit. --- "Thank you... and yeah... only in New York there is such filth. The only problem, Miss Delaney, is that sometimes, cops in charge tend to be so old fashioned that they don't understand how big the threat is." said Prescott, still talking softly, but showing some anger and resentment. "And because of that, they ignore what others have to say in their own defense or when they give any ideas about who might be a potential suspect." He then looked at Peter. "Yeah, I know... I was working under an Irish cop... real old-fashioned assface. There was this little punk out there being paid to kill others. Hell, he would have even killed his own mother for money. I got to him and roughed him up, angry at him. But did I get anything? No... just disgrace. The stupid old fart that was my commanding officer canned me for unnecessary roughness. After that, I lost my family. My wife and kids left me. I had nothing... now, all I have are my prized possessions." said Prescott. "It's a fuckin' awful thing to have no one in the world that understands you. No parents, no mentors... no nothing." Peter remembered Lt. Petersen's profile. Prescott matched it perfectly. He was just a regular soft-spoken Joe who had a passion for renaissance art, was fired from a law enforcement job, his family left him, and he had no one to take care of him as a child. He then kept wondering if he would have become like Prescott if he hadn't had his uncle and aunt during childhood. Prescott noticed Peter's expression. "You understand what I'm tellin' you?" asked Prescott. "Yes... I do." said Peter honestly. "But that is no reason to be angry at the world." "Then what should I do? Just let everyone step on me? Kick me? Piss on me?" uttered Prescott. "No... just let life run its course." said Peter. There was a moment of silence until Prescott grabbed two bottles of wine. Apparently, being friendly and gaining his trust seemed to be working. "So, you did want something to drink, would you like this wine or something else?" asked Prescott.

"Now you are talking smart." Decade revved up.
---
"A ghost in another's body?" Kuuga sighed. "Maybe we should have summoned Ghost or Kiva?"
"We're all they need." Shotaro said.
---
"No thank you. I don't drink. I have...control issues from what happened. Kind of puts a damper on social settings but...it keeps creeps like the Jackal from getting to me again." Joyce politely declined. "PTSD...it's real, and it is a bitch."

"I always do." said Brainiac-5 with a smirk. --- "Yes, that's what I am... a ghost in my own lover's body." said Felicia. --- "Yeah... we all have our demons to carry." said Peter. "And it can either break us or make us understand more about ourselves." He then looked at a familiar painting. "Nice. Michelangelo, right?" said Peter. "You are quite smart for a kid. Yes, it's a small scale reproduction of the Creation of Adam painting at the Sistine Chapel. What an impressive piece of work." said Prescott. "Indeed, I heard it took possibly four years to make." said Peter. "Approximately, yes." said Prescott. "However, I think you might be more interested in these." Prescott then took a large amount of manuscripts and books. "Whoa... Leonardo da Vinci's works." said Peter. "Yes... almost perfect reproductions of his manuscript. The man was a genius." said Prescott as he started showing the Codex Atlanticus reproduction. "He came up with the idea of flying vehicles and submerging vehicles before they were even created."

"Not always." Rokk teased. "I've been your wingman. Unless stammering and a confused look is genius."
"He has you there." Val said as he took flight.
--------
"And here I thought we had interesting lives." Kuuga noted.
---------
"And yet he was ran off for his radical ideas. People were not ready for his genius." Joyce sighed. "Idiots, really."

Val said as he took flight. -------- "And here I thought we had interesting lives." Kuuga noted. --------- "And yet he was ran off for his radical ideas. People were not ready for his genius." Joyce sighed. "Idiots, really." "That is just when Linda is around." said Brainiac-5. "I was not programmed for attachement, hence my hesitance." --- "Believe me... a lot more people have tons of interesting stuff to tell." uttered Mortimer. --- "Exactly... just as the people who once I considered friends and co-workers..." said Prescott, obviously meaning the police. "I always felt a sort of kinship towards Leonardo. He was defeated... exiled... just like I was." As Peter heard those words, he remembered his experiences. --- *FLASHBACK* Peter remembered when he burned his original Spider-Man suit when Prescott mentioned the word defeated. "Never again... Spider-Man will never again be responsible for the death of any more innocents." said Peter with grief and anger as he set his Spider-Man costume on fire. He then teared up and looked at the sky. "Gwen... I did it... I am not wearing the suit anymore... but I guess it's too late for it to make a difference." said Peter as he cried. --- *FLASHBACK* When Prescott said the word exiled, Peter remembered the aftermath of the coin-robbery case. "PARKER!!! YOU MISERABLE NO GOOD EXCUSE FOR AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER!!! YOU LET YOURSELF GET ARRESTED FOR WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE?!!! I CAN'T HAVE THAT ON MY REPORTERS!!!" said Jameson. "I did what I thought was right... I couldn't let an innocent person go to jail." said Peter. "Parker... this is the last straw. I've put up with your stupid, hard-headed antics for too long... but no more. YOU'RE FIRED!!! GET OUTTA MY SIGHT!!! And don't return until you learn to obey orders." said Jameson. "FINE!!! Then I won't come back. I'm not gonna let anyone preventing me from helping people that don't deserve harsh treatment!!! And since all of your orders so far have been to not get involved like that, I think I'd prefer being unemployed instead of licking your boots." said Peter, tired of always trying to appease Jameson. --- Back in the present, Peter sighed. He actually understood Prescott. The pain he went through. The loss he suffered. The self-hatred. Now he was positive Prescott was the killer. He was alone in the world. No one loved him. Peter sighed and then decided to speak up. "Mr. Prescott... we didn't come here to buy liquor... we... we came to talk to you about the murders of the Irish girls. I didn't want to let anything on, but... I have good reason to believe it's you. You and me... are alike." said Peter. Prescott just looked down as he heard that and sighed. "You are a bright kid..." said Prescott. "Yes... I am the Renaissance Killer. But how did you find out?" "It figures... you were doomed from the start. A bad childhood, no parents, bullied at school, filled with anger and losing everything you cherished because of authority. Killing is inevitable." said Peter. "You and me, Mr. Prescott... we are both one and the same. We both suffered so much in life, we didn't meet our parents, we have been fired from our jobs and we have killed people. The only difference is that you killed because you wanted to get to the man who fired you... the father of my deceased former girlfriend. Make him suffer for making you feel even more inadequate. Whereas I... I killed because of recklessness. The man who raised me and taught me the most important lesson in my life was killed because I was careless. My former girlfriend... she died thanks to me... I was impetuous and so obssessed with making things right that I ignored her. We are both at fault..." Prescott just looked at Peter as he spoke. "So... you're gonna arrest me?" asked Prescott. "No... that job is for the arresting officer that is arriving now." said Peter as he heard Zack Hanlon's car arriving. "Then that's it... it was inevitable. My life was over from the start." said Prescott.

"No one is programmed for love." Tsukasa said as he rides. "That is why it is so special."
--------
"I once fought a man possessed by a God." Terry said. "Beat him too. It was Ares." He then looked solemn. "Lost someone doing so..."
"That is...I am sorry Mr. Bogard." Shokichi said.
----------
"Your life was over the moment you gave into the madness." Joyce stared at him. "You had a choice, to prove Captain Stacy wrong about you. To be a better man. Instead, you chose to validate him but being less. This is coming from a woman who lost it all. I can't go home. Physically I'm not the same Joyce. My parents see a stranger, a dead classmate of mine. My friends...they are freaked out over me wearing a dead woman's face. I have lost many over that. Peter....it took forever for us both to understand what we have isn't him filling the Gwen sized void, but something that is ours. You want to talk self hate...try looking at a stranger every day for the rest of your life in the reflection. I've been fired from my life." She shook her head.
"An ending is only an ending if you let it be. You could have done something else, something better...anything but...murder. You could have done real art. Not with...people. You could have expressed your pain...through...anything else and...transformed it into a positive." Joyce looked at him sadly. "Like I am. You could have done so much good, like Leonardo did. He kept going. He...he bloody well helped form SHIELD. Why something so petty as revenge? You could have done so much better."

It does sort of bring a bit of bad memories." said Brainiac-5, remembering how he felt the time when Supergirl had been killed. During that time, he felt so much pain and grief. "I suffered so much because I thought I could control my feelings. But when that special someone died for a while, I couldn't control myself. I even attempted to rip out my central processor." --- "Damn... just... that really is tragic." said Mortimer. --- "You see, Mr. Prescott... we both know how it is to suffer like you have... you could have asked for help." said Peter. "As Joyce said... even though she had the face that haunts me in my nightmares... we both discovered that... we needed each other, more than ever... she needed someone who saw her for who she was, not what she looked like... I was that someone. We understood that our bond was new, it wasn't replacing Gwen... it was moving forward. You could have done so... but the odds against you were much more than mine." "I didn't have anyone... all I wanted was respect... love... appreciation... but no one gave it to me. No one understood how I felt nor they cared. So I decided to stop trying to impress and help others." said Prescott. "You two are the first people that have actually come to me willingly... even though you knew the risk. You are the first people in my life that I can truly call... friends." said Prescott. "Yes... we are your friends... and I hope that you will finally find a way to make real art." said Peter. "And because you showed remorse and confessed... I know the judge will show leniency." He then started crying, guilt and remorse plaguing him. Zack entered the room. Peter looked at him and nodded, as if to say that he confessed. Zack sighed, now feeling more guilt for not pushing for his report to be considered by Lt. Stacy. If the Lieutenant had read the report and investigated Prescott, the last three murders wouldn't have happened. "Mr. Prescott... you shall come with me to the station." said Zack. Prescott stood up and went with Zack. Sarah walked out of the storage room and gave Peter a list of elements that looked like they belonged to the victims. Peter just nodded as he saw it. He then hugged Joyce tightly as Prescott was being taken away. "We did it, Joyce... we managed to get through to his heart." said Peter. "And that... is the greatest kind of victory... not only because we didn't have to fight, but because we did it together, as a couple. This just proves how much stability we bring to each other's lives."

(Continued from "The Start of a New Rule")
Brainiac-5 looked up after he spoke.
"Oh, no..." said Brainiac-5 before being engulfed in the evil essence. "I... must... destroy... everything!!!"
Brainiac-5 lost control of himself as he mutated into a Two-Face.
---
As Lydia drove, she noticed something ahead.
"Oh, no... not again!!!" said Lydia desperately before she and Mortimer were covered in mist and started laughing and speaking awkwardly. Her voice changed into Felicia's voice, but sounding much more manic. "Now to show... what we're made of."
---
Peter looked up and saw the mist.
"What in the world?" uttered Peter.
"Fuck, do you see that?" said Zack.
"How do we protect ourselves?" said Sarah.
"The storage room. We must go there!!!" said Prescott.
"And why should I--" said Zack.
"Zack, please... trust him... we don't know how that mist would affect us, but it's better than staying out here to find out!!!" said Peter as he grabbed Joyce and Sarah and took them inside the storage room.
Zack and Prescott went in after them and Prescott locks the door. The mist doesn't go in and dissipates without affecting them.
"Although I'm glad we aren't affected, I'm really worried about the others." said Zack.
"Me too... I hate to think that I'll have to fight my friends again... or worse... my own brother and children." said Peter nervously, referring to Ben, Lisa and Buck.
---
Spider-Gwen was now a Two-Face creature as well, and she just laughed as she and Dave were wrecking every store around their vicinity. Gwenom followed them as well. Lisa and Buck Parker were swinging around, laughing.
"Time... to make us feel... important, sis!!!" said Buck with a rather sinister tone.
"Indeed... they will all know... the true power... of a Two-Face!!! AAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!" laughed Lisa.

"A gas." Tsukasa said, spinning around as Projectra, Cosmic Boy and Karate Kid changed.
"Why are we not affected?" Diend said.
"Reality jumping lends itself to certain perks. Plus...Rider suits are not standard fare." Tsukasa said as he got off.
"You owe me for this one." Diend got off too.
----------
Kuuga paused. "What is going on?"
Ryu turned as he saw his wife transform. "AKIKO!!!"
Shotaro transformed quickly. "Phillip?"
"I am fine. It seems being a living Gaia Memory kept me safe. Though it seems anyone bonded to a Rider system might possess some immunity due to how the powers affect our bodies." Phillip said.
"So I had a window before this happened to me?" Kamen Rider Skull spun around. "Shotaro, protect our client at all cost."
-----------
Joyce stood there. "I was closest tot he gas. Why am I not..."
------------
Spider-Bot powered up. "I will...stop you all."

"I will...stop you all." "D... deactivate... meeeee..." uttered Brainiac-5 to the Riders, as if he was begging to be destroyed. The pain he was feeling was extreme. His computerized brain was starting to overload thanks to the evil essence. Sparks were coming out of his head. --- Lydia had a crazy glare in her face as she drove from side to side, making the car spin around. --- "I dunno... but maybe Jackal did something to your blood. Something that is producing anti-bodies to fight the gas." said Peter. "Or maybe the gas didn't get close enough, but still, we can't discard the other option." Suddenly, someone ran into the room and closed a large door. "Yuri?" uttered Zack. "How did you-?" "I followed you..." said Yuri. "I found an alternate entrance to this place and managed to escape the gas. I... I just had to make sure you were alright." Zack sighed. "I'm not... here I am... locked up with the main reason why I am considering resignation from the force." said Zack, aiming his gun at Prescott. --- Spider-Gwen pounced on Spider-Bot. "Look at us, Bot... don't you love this lassie's face?" said Gwen with a more deranged tone.

"No." Tsukasa said as he tossed a card to Diend. "Summon him."
Diend looked at the card. "interesting choice."
KAMEN RIDE
E-E-EX-AID!!!
Soon an odd looking rider with pink hair like spikes came. "What is going on?"
"We got some sort of biomutagen going around. That green man is a super genius being targeted by it. You are a medic, so...we figure you can cure him." Tsukasa said. "We will fend off the others."
Ex-Aid nodded. "understood."
------
A figure appeared and grabbed the Car. "Yo."
"YO!!!" Kuuga turned as the car was stopped...by Evolto.
"No time to explain, he's on our side." Sento said, charging in as Build. "I had to stun my team and store them in my lab for safe keeping. But we are here to help."
MadRogue, Grease, and Rogue showed up.
-------
Joyce grabbed the gun. "Right now we got bigger problems. He's beaten. He needs to face his crimes. You want him stopped for tasking life and death into his own hands. You need to be the example for that. Live in absolutes and all you get is absolutes. For now,w e stay here, once this is done, arrest him...and don't quit." She looked at him. "How many people did Spider-Man fail? Captain America? People who go out there to save lives have to face the facts that they will fail sometimes. But the part that makes the difference is not giving up, to keep going. If Spider-Man quit way back when for good...I'd be, at best, Professor Warren's...God...I don't even want to think about it."
She turned and looked at Prescott. "He quit, after all. If you do...how will he know there is something outside of failure? how will people who still have a chance to not fall as far he did know there is still time to stop before the point of no return? There is a reason for the system. It's not to let the guilty get off with life in jail. It's seeing what they can do with it. Never forget...never forgive even...but do not just...stop."
---------
"This is....an infection. Not you..." Spider-Bot struggled.

"H-hurry..." said Brainiac-5 as his forehead was starting to turn red due to the heat. --- "Shit..." uttered Lydia as the car was stopped. Her voice then changed to Felicia's, only this time, she sounded raspier. "WE MUST TAKE THEM DOWN!!!" --- "She's right, Zack... Mr. Prescott here is ready to face the consequences... and because of his cooperation, he might not get the death penalty and he'll possibly be sent to a high-security prison. However, he will be able to do art in there... just... not with bodies... but real art. Maybe he'll finally understand that he isn't worthless." said Peter. Zack lowered his gun and started crying. "He's not the only one with a life sentence, you know... I also have a life sentence... I've been sentenced to feel guilt, pain and loss for the rest of my life." said Zack sadly. "It'll take my own death to finally be at peace with myself... but now, I have to live with the mistake of not pressuring Lt. Stacy to read my report... I would have been fired then, but I at least would have saved the last three victims." "Zack... it wasn't your fault..." said Yuri softly as she put her hand on Zack's shoulder. Sarah then opened the door and looked outside. "The cloud dissipated. I guess you won't be mutated in horrific ways now." said Sarah. "The only problem is... our friends and close ones might harm us if they see that we protected ourselves from the gas before it dissipated." --- "That's what you think!!!" said Gwen before her voice changed. "Bot... help me!!!" And it changes again. "SHUT UP!!! HE'S MINE!!!"
