(A/N: This chapter coincides with Chapter 14 of Spider-Man: The Wrestler)

—————

It was now a week since the birth of Zach, and now, the Ninjago Force were trying to enjoy life until a new villain would show up. But truth be told, one wanted some action. In an alleyway, a man in black is sent being knocked into a wall while another man prepared to move his switchblade to his attacker, who turned out to be Cole, who grabs hold of his arm, and twists it, causing the man to scream and drop the knife. "This is what you want your life to be?!" He asked.

"Don't!" The man replied, scared for his life.

"Don't what? Don't kill you? You were going to kill this woman! For nothing! You were going to take her money and hurt her!"

"No!"

Cole immediately grabbed hold of him by his collar while grabbing the other man, and forced them to the wall. "You have to change, you hear me?! You have to change your life, or you're going to kill someone, or someone is going to kill you! Is that what you want? Is it? This is it! There's no second chance! There's no 'do over'! You have to change now!" He soon forced them to face a young woman. "Say you're sorry."

"I'm... I'm sorry!" The man in black said to the woman, frightened for his life.

"I'm... I'm sorry!" The man who wielded the switchblade said to the woman, also frightened for his life.

"Now do something with your life!" Cole yelled, throwing them away from the woman. They quickly got up, and took off, leaving their weapons behind.

Once the burglars took off, the woman came up to Cole and hugged him. "Thank you, Rocking Earth." She said.

"Uh, you're welcome."

She soon backed away. "By the way, did you ever hear about Spider-Man?"

"The wrestler from Chen's Capable Wrestlers?"

"Yes. With what you did, maybe even you could take him on."

"You think so?"

"Of course. I know a guy, who knows a girl, who knows a girl, who is in a relationship with a guy's brother, who knows a guy, whose uncle is one of the organisers. I can recommend you, and you could be a wrestler yourself."

Cole thinks for a bit. "All right then."

Later that day, Cole explained to his fellow crime fighters what he should do, and they all nod. "Yeah, you should do it." Lloyd said.

"Why not?" Kai asked. "You're the strongest in our team, and can practically lift anything big."

"I'm not sure, Kai." Nya replied. "I read on the show's site that their champion, Spider-Man, hasn't had a single loss since beginning almost 4 months ago."

"He's even shorter than all the fighters he ever came across." Zane said, looking at the image of a wrestler wearing a red, blue and black leotard. "I'd say he is 5' 9", and could practically lift someone even 200 pounds."

"You don't think he's a mutant, do you?" Jay asked.

"Given all this, I'd say he is."

"Well, this'll be one fight, mutant against mutant." Cole said, standing up, determined to defeat the wrestling champion. It took a few hours, but upon hearing his name, the wrestling organisers agreed to set him up for tomorrow night's fight.

The following evening, in a stadium, there was a large amount of people in a crowd, including Kai, Jay, Zane, Nya and Lloyd, all wearing t-shirts with Rocking Earth on it. "Ladies and gentlemen, this will be a very special wrestling match for tonight." Chen said through the speakers as the crowd was cheering. "For the first time in this ring, say hello to your favourite city hero from the Ninjago Force, Rocking Earth!" Rocking Earth, in his tight-suit with an added patch of a black crystal on the right side of his chest plate, started walking out from backstage, up to the ring as the crowd was cheering loudly, up until he vaulted over the ropes, and raised his arms, waving to them before flexing his muscles.

"Go, Cole, go!" Kai and Jay said aloud.

Zane soon turned to Lloyd. "When did he have that crystal patch?" He asked.

"I sewed it onto all our suits just the other day." Lloyd replied.

"Up against our undefeated champion, Spider-Man!" The crowd cheered even more as Rocking Earth turned to see his opponent, Spider-Man exiting his side of backstage. The wrestler was wearing a red, blue and black leotard, just like the promotional image, hence his name, Spider-Man. Once the opposing wrestler was close to the ring, Spider-Man raised his arms and fired lines of webbing which hit part of the lighting bars atop the ring, moves back, and jumps in the air having the web lines like bungee cords.

As he was flew in the air, Spider-Man then somersaulted, and landed in the ring on one knee. "Ta-da!" He called out.

Rocking Earth looked on as Spider-Man stood up before they come up to the middle and shake hands as the ninja in black glared at his leotard suited opponent. "You're just a kid." He insulted.

"So are you." Spider-Man counter insulted. "Did anyone ever tell you that black means angry?"

"I'm gonna make you eat those words."

"Looks like our fighters are riled up already." Chen's voice came through the speakers as the fighters back away. "But, only one can remain." He soon pressed a button and a gong sound goes off, beginning the fight. "Fight!"

Rocking Earth crouched down, slamming his hands on the ring in the process before immediately jumping at Spider-Man, who quickly cartwheels to the side, making his opponent hit his chin on the floor. "Might want to watch that step next time." Spider-Man sarcastically said. "Bit of a doozy."

Rocking Earth quickly raised his legs to spin around and get back up, turning to his young opponent. His arms soon glowed as he went to punch him, but Spider-Man vaults over him before firing web lines at his back. As he prepared to kick him, Rocking Earth quickly turned around and raised a leg to kick him down, striking his left cheek while landing, earning gasps from the crowd. Rocking Earth soon chuckled at his fallen opponent as the crowd cheered. "I win, Spider-Kid." He said.

Just as the referee was about to check on him, Spider-Man quickly rolled back before jumping up, then somersaulted over Rocking Earth before he soon held out his arms, firing shots of web that hit his legs before pulling them back, sending Rocking Earth in the air. Spider-Man then moved his arms up, bringing the web shots along before letting go. The result causes Rocking Earth to fly over the ropes, landing close to the first row of spectators. "Out of the ring!" Chen yelled through the speakers, and the crowd cheers for Spider-Man's instant victory as he lands in the ring. "Winner: Spider-Man!" Rocking Earth got up and slammed the floor, angered at his loss.
