A helicopter landed on the roof of an old toy factory; as the propellers started slowing down, five people ran across the helipad to the door that led down into the building. The five people entered a large room, it looked like where the old toys were manufactured. Only it had some changes; the work benches were where someone had been building weapons and bombs, at the end of the roof was a large thrown-like chair, and someone had painted a strange logo all over the walls. One of the five stepped into the light, “Welcome to our new base of operation.” Discord stated. Screwball stepped out from behind her father, “Wow, this place looks fun, Daddy.” “Doesn’t it just, my little abomination.” Discord replied. The three other men stepped into the light of the room; Bulls-eye, Spider-Slayer and Dragon Man. Alcester said, “I don’t know, for me to build machines and reactivate my robots, I might need something more; high-tech.” “Not to mention, old toys and dolls give me the creeps.” Dragon Man stated. Discord turned to his companions, he was unhappy that they did not like it here; he said, “Please gentlemen, it may be a little sleazy, but I’m sure we can make it work.” Bulls-eye then chuckled, “Ha, ‘We’? What makes you think that we’re staying with you?” “Because, my friend… YOU’VE GOT TO!!” Discord suddenly shouted. “Do you really want to go out there on your own? You wouldn’t last an hour on the streets; in the face of the unstoppable Juggernaut, by which I actually mean the Spiderman, we are nothing.” The other villains started listening to what he had to say, “Out of all of us, we have not been able to commit a single successful crime in the last two years; that’s a lower ratio than Cyclops’ screen time in the movie, X-Men III.” “Ha.” Dragon man laughed. Discord continued, “The point is, every time we’ve battled the Spiderman, we’ve failed to win. So if we band together and combine our abilities and powers, we should have a really good chance this time.” He looked at the three villains standing before him, “Are you with me lads?” The three of them thought for minute, the silence was broken when Smythe answered for all three of them; he replied, “Alright Discord, we’ll play your little game.” “Yeah, maybe we underdogs need to stick together.” Bulls-eye said. “As long as I get my cut, I’m fine with anything.” Dragon Man said. With that said, the villains decided to get settled into they’re new lair; Discord went off on his own, he wanted to see what this place had to offer. The lord of chaos entered what looked like a manager’s office; it was filled with prototype toys, a powerful looking desk and a mirror of the right-wall. Discord looked around the room and stated, “Yes, this will do nicely.” He sat down in the chair behind the desk, on the desk surface, was a surprising amount of newspapers; all of them were stories about Spiderman. “Wow, complimentary reading material.” He opened the paper and began reading one of the articles. Suddenly, Discord heard something; a voice… “You should keep your eye, on the ball.” Discord stood up, he looked around the room; he said, “Who’s there? Show yourself.” “Follow the cold chill that's now running down your spine.” The villain looked around the room, he stared at all the toys and things that were scattered on the shelves and surfaces; but he saw no one else in the room. It was almost like he was talking to a ghost. “I’m right here.” Discord suddenly turned to the mirror, but then he said, “I don’t understand.” Discord was talking to his reflection, only his image was speaking in the tone of the voice he was listening to. The reflection stated, “Oh, but I think you do understand.” Discord’s reflection held up the newspaper; the strange thing was, Discord himself was doing the same thing. He turned the page to an article that was about him, about how the city was moving on from his reign of terror; about how the world had gone on and left his legacy behind. Discord mumbled, “But, I left my legacy to this city.” “Being locked away for almost fifteen years will do that to a criminal of your standards.” The reflection replied. “However, there is a way you can change that; you can have my legacy.” Discord looked up at his reflection and asked, “What legacy? I don’t even know what you are.” Suddenly, Discord’s reflection changed; the body reshaped itself, to become a creature of pure nightmares. The villain recognised this creature from old news reports; with his green skin, purple outfit and hat, and the purple hand bag hanging off his shoulder. “Recognise me now?” Discord mumbled this creature’s name, a name that the whole city, Spiderman, and the whole multiverse had tried to forget; Discord said, “The Green…Goblin.” “That’s right.” The goblin said. “And now, it is time for you to take over the Goblin Nation; restore honour to the ‘Goblin’ name.” the mirror being paused for some effect, “I want you, to be the next Goblin.” The Lord of Chaos then replied, “But, I have my own legacy to take back; how could I abandon that to take yours?” “Because your legacy is gone; it is time to start fresh Discord.” Goblin smirked at Discord. “Become my heir, be a true ‘menace’ to this city; it’s what you want.” Discord had to think for a minute, but Green Goblin didn’t give him much thinking time; the mirror being shouted, “ISN’T IT!” “No!” Discord then picked something up and through it at the mirror, the object broke the mirror into pieces; however, it revealed something behind it. There was a whole room behind the mirror, Discord’s curiosity got the best of him; he went inside to have a look around. The room was dark, not a lot could be seen; the only source of light was the moon light leaking in through the cracks in the roof. All was quiet, until Discord turned his head a got a real fright; one of Goblin’s spared masks was on its stand, it scared Discord senseless. He backed away from the mask, and bumped into some shelves; when he hit them, a light came on. Discord turned around and saw a large supply of pumpkin bombs lined up on the shelf. And standing before him, was a work area, where someone had been building spare gliders; almost like someone knew that an heir was going to find this place. The Lord of Chaos smiled and said, “Hmm, ‘Menace’ hey? I like the sound of that.” Discord then started laughing, like he used to. laugh
