"And now," Don Cheadle said, somehow speaking to all of the sandworm's teeth at once "you will participate in the greatest game of basketball known to man, or rather, worm, kind. Defeat Spider-Man (depicted by Timothee Chalamet), and you may leave. You don't want to know what happens if you fail to do so."
the sandworm dug once more beneath the ground, and don cheadle spun around in his big funny wheely chair.
in his new york studio apartment, peter parker felt his spider sense rattling like a fucking idk maracca. he was a skinny white bitch and had no skills in basketball, and now don cheadle, also known as Al G. Rithm, expected him to defeat a creature mountainous in size?? not to mention, he wasn't even sure how basketball would function in a match like this... would the court be increased in size? would the ball? the nets?? but, as his Warner Brothers licensed property exclusive smart watch told him he had run out of time, he pulled his mask down over his face, stilled his nerves, and leapt from his window.
sandworms feel not the conscious thought of man/machine. the sandworm is too goated.
the balling sandworms rocked up to the basketball court. much as spiderman suspected, the court was about 3 times larger than normal.... which wasn't too large considering a singular sandworm still took up most of the court. the sandworms struggled to coordinate themselves. there was no sand on this court. why had don cheadle brought them here? what would be won from this event? Spiderman was not a sizeable foe, they could punt him across the court with a little nudge of the head into the insect's body. they supposed only time would tell what was about to go down on this court.
'Here goes.' Spiderman whispered. As he ran towards the sandworm, he prepared himself to jump over it and lob the ball into the hoop. With a tense feeling in his legs, he jumped up, only to be immediately beaten to the side with a mighty swing on the sandworms head. As he lay on the court, the sandworms massive body hurtling towards him, he only had a second to consider the fact that he was going to die. With a mighty crash, his life was over, and the sandworm was victorious by default.
