It didn't take long for Peter to get to the scene of the crime and he was pleasantly surprised to see that Spider-woman has already dealt with Shocker and Mysterio. He was however put off by the man flying on a glider that looked to be made of fire and metal
Also his attire was different from the standard orange of the Hobgoblin. He was wearing what looked like a black version of the Hobgoblin's cloak but it had burn marks on it and had a large red pentagram symbol on the back that looked like it was glowing. Peter also saw that this goblin was much taller than then any Hobgoblin he's encountered before save the original but even that that was stretching it
"That's not Hobgoblin, hell it's not even the Green Goblin" Peter said to himself as he shot several web bullets at the goblin before he could throw what looked like fire balls at Julia Carpenter aka the 'Sensational Spider-woman' who was busy shooting her psi-webs at Electro while Sandman tried to crush her under a mallet made of sand while spot was nowhere to be seen
Peter saw the web bullets impact against the side of the unknown goblin's face and nearly knocked him off the glider before he ripped them off and centered his gaze on Peter and grinned darkly.
Peter felt his blood run cold at the sight of this new goblin. It looked unlike either the Green Goblin or the Hobgoblin, in fact it looked more demonic in appearance
"Spider-man…" the demon goblin purred in a dark echoing tone "I was hoping you'd show up"
"Aww really how sweet of you" Peter quipped as he saw that Spider-woman seemed to be holding her own for now before refocusing on his opponent "But really, you didn't have to go to all this trouble to see little old me, you could have just called me out on social media like any other wanna be villain"
The demonic goblin chuckled "Oh but where's the fun in that…Peter"
Peter's eyes widened at realizing that this person, whoever they are, knew his name. He narrowed his lenses at the man "Who are you!"
"Me?" the goblin pointed to himself with a confused look before grinning "I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to pronounce but you can call me…Demogoblin!"
"That's…actually a pretty good name for yourself" Peter conceded before he shot several web bullets at Demogobin who laughed as he flew under the projectiles and shot several crimson red and black fire balls at him
"Holy-" Peter swore as he ducked under one of the fire balls and leaped over the other's before feeling Spider-woman's psi-webs snag him and yanked him out of the path of several more fire balls
"Head in the game Spider-man!" Julia yelled as she grabbed a turn over car and threw it at Demogoblin who was to slow to dodge and was knocked off his glider that almost instantly vanished and right into another parked car
KRAKOOM!
Peter winced at the impact before looking towards Spider-woman "A little harsh don't you think?"
"I punched him in the face earlier with every ounce of strength I had and barley fazed him" Julia said as she and Peter danced around Sandman and shot multiple web bullets at him that vegan to cover him in a combination of psi-webbing and Peter's re-enforced webs
"Seriously?" Peter said in shock as Julia's strength rivaled his at fifteen tons "Damn, maybe that car you threw wasn't enough than"
"Agreed which s why we need to hurry up with litter box here" Julia said much to Sandman's annoyance
"Stop calling me that!" Flint Marko yelled as she sent multiple sand tendrils at the two spider themed heroes who dodged them with a sort of grace and skill that'd put the world's greatest acrobats to shame ten times over
"Would you prefer sandbox than?" Peter asked as he reached into his utility belt he had under his suit and pulled out a small blue web capsule and placed it in his web shooters before taking aim at the man
"How about neither!" Sandman yelled out in rage as he formed a large ax of sand with one hand and a saw with another and prepared to attack Peter when suddenly several psi-webs wrapped around his neck and yanked him to the ground
Peter used that time to shoot the capsule into Sandman's chest which immediately started to turn to ice, much to the man's shock
"What'd you do!" Flint Marko screamed as he tried to get up but found himself restrained by more psi-webs as his body froze
"Oh I just shot a formula of composed of my typical web formula and liquid nitrogen. Don't worry you'll thaw out in a hour or two and be in a nice cozy cell by than" Peter said as Sandman was completely covered in ice
Peter looked over towards Julia and nodded at her "So that's Marko and it looks like Electro is dealt with" Peter gestured to a psi-web covered Electro lying next to an equally restrained Mysterio and Shocker "Now that just leaves Spot and Demogoblin"
"Demogoblin?" Julia asked in confusion
"The guy who looks like Hobgoblin in a fear toxin induced nightmare" Peter gestured to the demonic looking goblin who had just freed himself from the two cars he was crushed between with a roar
"I haven't seen Spot in a while… Demogoblin there said something to him before he vanished in one of his portals" Julia said as she and Peter ran towards Demogoblin who was now throwing fireballs at them
"We'll deal with him after we blow matchstick here out" Peter said as he rolled under a fire ball and threw a punch at Demogoblin's face who caught it with shocking speed before headbutting Peter and smacking him away
"GAH!" Peter cried out as he felt his jaw nearly dislocate from the power of the hit 'Man this guy's strong, easily up there with Venom!'
Julia shot two psi-web lines at Demogoblin's hands and tried to keep him from throwing anymore fire balls. The goblin growled in annoyance before he inhaled and shot a blast of red and black fire at the surprised Spider-woman who was forced to dive to the left or risk being roasted alive
Demogoblin having expected this spat out another fireball that impacted not far from where Spider-woman landed and sent her flying across the street and into a window.
The demonic goblin chuckled at this as he tore off the glowing webbing and turned his sights on Spider-man and whispered darkly "Get ready…"
Peter shook his head to clear his vision and saw Demogoblin approaching him with a large broad sword made of the same black metal as the glider from earlier forming covered in red and black flames
"Man your really fired up for this fight aren't ya?" Peter joked even as his spider-sense was flaring
Demogoblin shot a wave of red fire towards Peter who jumped several stories over it and shot several web bullets at the goblin who blocked them with his blade. Peter landed behind Demogoblin and quickly punched the taller being in the back of the leg that earned a grunt of pain from the goblin who quickly turned around and tried to cleave Peter in half
Peter leaned so far back that his spine actually started to hurt before he righted himself and sent a powerful punch into Demogoblin's face that barely turned his head before he sent a jab in the demonic being's throat. That got a response as he clutched his damaged throat allowing Peter to grab him by the shoulders, while ignoring the sheering heat, and threw him over his shoulder and into the ground
KRAKOOOOM!
The impact created a small crater and sent bits of concrete and asphalt up everywhere. Peter didn't let up as he hopped on the goblin's chest and began to send a series of punches into the demon's face as fast and as hard as possible until his arms became a blur
KOOOM!
KOOOM!
KOOOM!
The last punch was stopped by Demogoblin's clawed hand "ENOUGH!"
Peter winced as he felt his hand was nearly crushed before his spider-sense flared and he suddenly found a small black portal opening in front of his face. Before he could react, a white fist came through and punched him square in the face before another similar portal opened behind his head and a foot came out and kicked him in the back of the head and right into a headbutt from Demogoblin
KOOOM
The hit sent him flying off the goblin and into the side of a building
KRAKOOOM
"Okay ow!" Peter groaned out as he slumped to the ground and looked up to see the Spot appear before him with a dark smile on his face "Hey poke-a dots, how's it going? Still spot on, on being a being walking fashion nightmare I see"
Spot didn't respond as he held up a small black portal that looked different compared to his usual ones, it somehow looked darker and seemed to be sucking the light like a miniature black hole almost "Oh I'm going to enjoy this"
Peter felt his spider-sense flared to unimaginable levels as he tried to move only for black chains to appear out of nowhere and restrain him "GAH! How the-"
"Magic…" Demogoblin said as he approached the two and stared down at Peter with a dark smile in his face "Demonic magic to be precise"
Peter tried to break free but found the chains were holding steady and glared at the two men before him "Alright what do you two want?"
"Me?" Spot said with a raised brow "I just want to watch you die and this guy" he gestured towards Demogoblin "Is going to make sure it happens!"
"Actually…" the hooded goblin said in a sly tone "I won't be killing him…"
"Wait what? You said-" the Spot was cut off as a sword of fire pierced his head causing Peter to gape in shock as the demonic goblin grabbed the small portal from the Spot's hands as he slumped to the ground with his head now on fire
Demogoblin than turned towards Peter and smiled "As I was saying, I won't be killing you Peter. No, that honor belongs to my master and even than he's going to take his time with you"
Peter felt a sudden chill crawl up his spine "Is your master the lord of hugs and ice cream?"
"No…Mephisto" Demogoblin began to chuckle while Peter's lenses and eyes widened in horror
"I take it he's still mad that I got his son Blackheart killed by Superboy Prime all those years ago and his daughter locked away in the Phantom zone" Peter guessed in dread
"Bingo" Demogoblin chuckled before he held the small portal over Peter than began to grow and dropped it on Peter that encompassed both of them
"AHHHHH!" Peter screamed in agony as he felt his body begin to burn as his vision darkened until all he saw was darkness all while listening the dark laughter of Demogoblin
