Back at the Web, Anansi watched the situation intensely. He hated feeling like he had to do this, but he had to make sure they were ready and were the right ones for the job. He chose them for who they were in their previous lives, but with his interference he changed their destinies and maybe who they even were. He was glad to see how quickly they responded to the situation. He even distracted the other heroes to make sure they wouldn't interfere with this group's chosen mission. He was grateful that some of them prioritized saving lives and making sure the civilians weren't in any danger from the ensuing battle. But unfortunately things weren't going to be so easy for them. It wouldn't be a test if it was. He just hoped they could handle everything that was about to get thrown at them.

The Spider-Monkey wasn't just a Spider-Monkey in design. It was a totem as well, that included its own set of spider powers. Its senses alerted it to the incoming attacks from both Araltus and Weaver. With a simple motion it blocked both Araltus' kick and Weaver's webs with the head of its staff. Fortunately for Araltus, her tactic was more of a hit and run, but Weaver's web got caught on the Spider-Monkey's staff allowing him to pull him and swing him around like a lasso before swinging down with enough force to break the webs off and send Weaver hurtling towards the ground.

[color=E137E3]"Gotcha!"[/color] Caty barely made it in time to prevent one of the other Spider-themed heroes from becoming street decoration, catching him in one arm while she swung with the other. She took in the scene completely while in the air. Buses were apparently thrown and webbed up and this was the biggest Spider-team up in recorded history. It honestly made a surprising amount of sense that the one thing that'd bring them together is a giant Spider-themed villain that she wasn't sure they'd all be able to take on alone. If this didn't feel like a personal attack on her life and sanity she would've found this exciting.

Caty dropped down next to the bus and the other Spider-Person she didn't know about. This one had a fairly interesting look and theme to their costume, but this wasn't the time to compare costume notes. She placed the Weaver down and looked back up to the building the Spider-Monkey was looking down from. She scanned the area watching as civilians filed out of the area. They were still plenty left. They needed to get to a more open area, but how exactly were they going to lead this thing away from here? It wasn't like it was targeting them specifically. Then an idea came to her. If it didn't make him angry and follow them it'd at least help get the weapon out of the already overpowered monster's hands.

The Arachnid was on his way to the scene, in fact he was pretty much already there. He was just focused on other things at the moment. He decided to redirect all of his Spider-Bots. Most were being used as a way to guide civilians out of the way and into safe areas, but the rest were in the Bronx Zoo looking for the Gorilla Tranquilizers. He didn't care how many they had. He had a feeling they were going to need all of them, if not more for this giant amalgated beast.

He knew the others would be able to hold their own while he waited for his reinforcements and guided others to safety. He wouldn't let anyone innocent die on his watch and he didn't even have the intention of killing this creature. It was clear that someone sent it here and he was going to find out who and if this simian arachnid was intelligent once it awoke from the nap he was about to force it to take.
