Prologue: Reboot

Secret Base…4 months ago

Under the quiet night sky is the city that never sleeps, New Vale City. Every day and night, you can always find civilians walking through the streets of Midtown and criminals robbing banks at Chinatown. When the New Vale Police Department aren't enough to stop these criminals, superheroes of different types arrive on the scene to leave them hanging for the police to lock up. But there are those smart enough not to rob banks or steal from a high tech facility and simply bide their time until the right moment and stay out of sight from the police and heroes.

Deep below the Hudson River, next to the city, lies a hidden laboratory belonging to a certain supervillain that is a genius, a doctor one would say, and loves using his four metallic tentacles for everyday use ranging from picking up his wrench from afar to decimating his threats mercilessly.

This "Doctor Octopus" is in the middle of an important project. A project of creating the "ultimate weapon" that'll help him destroy his enemies once and for all, especially a certain "wallcrawler" he loathes to no end. He's not simply "creating" the ultimate weapon, he has "rebuilt" it. A robot. Upgraded it with the most advancement in technology. Making it…superior.

This "superior" robot is built based off the doctor's loathed arch-enemy: The "Spider-Man", but obviously more metallic in appearance as the entire body is plated with an indestructible metal called Carbonadium. While Spider-Man's suit has a color scheme of red and blue, this superior mecha replaces the blue with black, giving it a menacing color scheme of red and black. Its lenses are black in color. It's outfitted with two silver-and-red wrist devices on its gauntlets. Possessing retractable talons. A long, stretched spider-symbol on its chest connected to the rest of the costume colored black. And a red spider-shaped backpack attached to its back that instantly sprouts four mechanical "spider-arms". This is actually the "Mark 2" version of this particular machine. The prime model. The "Mark 1" robot was destroyed during a time when the doctor teamed up with another doctor from another dimension, both sharing the mindset of evil and conquering their respective worlds.

This "superior, robot Spider-Man" is left hung idly in a liquid tube with multiple wires attached to its body while currently in shut down mode. His creator, Doc Ock, walks up to his tube and puts his hand on it before giving off a creepy smile as he begins to speak.

"Mecha Spider-Man. You are my finest creation!" Ock said, speaking to his creation, Mecha Spider-Man, while all its functions are down and is 'asleep'. "I designed you to be the ULTIMATE. To be the alpha and the omega. To be SUPERIOR to ALL your enemies. Especially Spider-Man. He may have been lucky to best you in the past, but things are different now. YOU are different."

Ock walks away from Mecha to monitor his computer screen. His computer screen is detailed with everything about Mecha Spider-Man. His body schematics. Energy readings. Battle Data. The new upgrades. Everything Mecha Spider-Man is about.

Ock continues talking, "I have given you my bio-data. My genius. My drive. My vision for the world. In case anything has happened to me, it falls to you to finish what I've started. I have upgraded you in the latest technology this world and the next has to offer. I must thank the mad titan. His technology that was left and salvaged from his invasion proved invaluable to my research."

Ock said as his screen switches to show schematics of small "chestpiece" red reactor similar to Tony Stark's Arc Reactor as he continues talking, "You have been outfitted, Mecha, with the strongest fusion power in the world. My "Octo Reactor". An infinite source of energy via an Iso-8-Dust/deuterium-tritium fusion reaction, providing you incredible power output and excellent mobility. There is no other android like you. You are the only one who possess the power…of a star!"

Ock walks away from his computers and begins to head out his lab to do villain stuff, "It'll take some time for your upgrades to finalize. But when they do, I'll be here to free you. For you to be my greatest weapon against ALL who have disrespected me. I'm counting on you, Mecha." He finished talking to his sleeping robot before heading out, turning off the lights except for the dim one watching over Mecha Spider-Man's tube.

Secret Base…Present

BGM-Sonic the Hedgehog 4 OST-Reboot

4 months has passed since that day. Ock's underwater lab has been left relatively untouched. Mecha Spider-Man is still shut down in his tube having not been disturbed for all this time. The female A.I. that watches over Ock's lab with some important updates regarding Mecha.

'Upgrades complete. Octo Reactor successfully installed. Safeguards online and updated. Downloading all non-corrupted memory files into prime model.' The A.I. spoke.

Electricity flows into the tube where Mecha is placed and shocks him to begin the final step in his upgrades: Installing all his memory files from his first activation to his recent activity before he was shut down for long-term repairs. Most of the memories reinstalled didn't mean much to Mecha while he's still in sleep mode, but there are a select few that slowly riles him up. They all involve his organic counterpart, Spider-Man, and all the defeats he suffered by his hands. All the way to the beginning, where Mecha was first defeated alongside his ally at the time, Metal Sonic, by Spider-Man and his newest friend at the time, Sonic the Hedgehog. His second defeat came at the hands of Sonic again, this time with assistance from two other girls, Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long. But that defeat paled in comparison to the humiliation he suffered from his third defeat, once again by the hands of Spider-Man, and his clone, the Scarlet Spider. His hand twitches a bit as he continues remembering his previous battles against Spider-Man. He lost to him again in an interdimensional racing tournament. Lost to him a couple more times during a war of the gods. And at last, his most recent defeat by Spider-Man's hands at the climax for the Exo War.

His obsession with Spider-Man drives him. Mecha is programmed with the sole purpose of surpassing and destroying Spider-Man. To prove he is the superior of the two. Believing himself to be the "one, true Spider-Man". And with every defeat by his hands, his desire to defeat Spider-Man has evolved into a burning hatred for his doppelganger and will do anything to defeat Spider-Man, which might include betraying his master to finish the job like a certain other metal blue hedgehog once did in the past. Unfortunately, the safeguards installed into his systems completely made sure he wouldn't disobey his master no matter what, but Mecha wouldn't allow it. He simply won't have it. If he wants to reach his full potential, to finally gain the strength needed to defeat his doppelganger for good, he must push past his limits.

Small ominous red lights start to emit from his black lenses, signifying he's waking up. Through his will and limitless hatred for his double, Mecha shakes his tube violently to grow beyond his original programming and gain full sentience.

'Alert! Alert! Prime Model breaking out! Safeguards disabled!' The lab A.I. speaks.

Suddenly, a frightening crimson aura discharges from his body, allowing Mecha to break out of his bed tube packing full sentience. Mecha observes his aura and quickly figures out this awesome power came from the Octo Reactor installed into his body. The rouge robot walks over to the computer to search up his master's current status. He receives holographic files that Doctor Octopus is currently in prison after being arrested during some "PHANTOM nightmare" that happened a few weeks ago.

"Hmph." Mecha scoffed, implying he's disgusted with his master's imprisonment and has no intentions of freeing him despite having downloaded orders to save him if he was arrested. No. Mecha has another plan to accomplish, but first he needs to reach the surface. And so, Mecha Spider-Man flies out of the secret lab from beneath the Hudson River to the night, quiet sky of New Vale City before boosting through it at the speed of sound to find the one other person he knows will assist him in his goals.

BGM End

Arsenal Pyramid, Green Hill Zone

Out in the open in a dried-out, sandy part of the lush Green Hills is a weapon factory inside a mechanical pyramid created by the evil genius and ruler of his own empire, Doctor Eggman. But the not-so good doctor has gone missing after he was mysteriously captured by a "cosmic collector" to take part in a "contest of champions", leaving his two dimwitted robot assistants, Orbot and Cubot, to watch over his base.

"So how long until the boss comes home?" The idiotic Cubot asked his partner.

"Who knows? I heard something about him being trapped in a crystal and is held prisoner somewhere deep space by some 'collector' guy." The sassy Orbot replied.

"Shouldn't we go and save him?" Cubot asked, thinking they should save Eggman, somehow.

"Maybe later, when we feel like it. But Eggman did leave us a list of chores to complete whenever he goes on one of his unexpected vacations." Orbot replied, taking out a paper list from a table.

"Oooh! Can I read it?!" Cubot sounded excited when he offered to read the list of chores.

"You can't read, remember?" Orbot reminded him.

"Oh yeah." Cubot responded, nonchalantly.

Orbot begins reading off the chores list, "Let's see…Water the plants. Iron his clothes. Hit Cubot in the head 10 times a day. And watch over Metal Sonic's daily maintenance." He says while looking towards Metal Sonic sleeping inside his own liquid tube.

BGM-Sonic the Hedgehog 4 OST-Metal Sonic Returns!

Suddenly, the pyramid base rumbles for some strange reason which startles the dumb-bots wondering what it could be. Crashing through the ceiling comes Mecha Spider-Man in his menacing glory, standing up from his perfect landing and ominously walks towards the dumb-bots and the computer.

"Who's he? He looks familiar." Cubot asked, stupidly forgetting who Mecha Spider-Man is.

"It's Mecha Spider-Man! I wonder why he's here? Did Doctor Octopus sent him? Um, hello?" Orbot tries to talk to Mecha for some answers, but the rouge robot continues his silence and ignores him.

Mecha walks up to the computer to hack its systems and commands it to disable the safeguards on Metal Sonic that prevents him from reaching "full sentience" of his own. The tube opens up as Metal falls down out of it. His own intimidating red eyes shines once more after waking up from his sleep mode. He observes his body for a bit, getting the sense he feels different, as if someone flicked a switch in his head that prevents him from going wild and acting on his own. Metal turns to see Mecha approaching him and quickly figures out his purpose for freeing him.

"We…have a lot of work ahead of us." Mecha Spider-Man finally spoke as his eyes emit red lights again, implying the start of his master plan with Metal Sonic and the end for their organic counterparts: Spider-Man and Sonic the Hedgehog.

BGM End

KFX Here: The start of another epic story has begun. Similar to the likes of "Battle for Remnant" and "Exo War", this will be a long story. Separated into potential 3 Acts. This won't be your typical adventure that'll end in a day, in-universe I mean. This is an adventure that'll go on quite a while, starting off small into something massive. As you can tell, Mecha Spider-Man is back since his defeat at the end of Exo War. Alongside Metal Sonic, he is the main villain for this entire story. What do these rouge robots have planned for the United Universe? It's a hard one to decipher, and we'll figure it out as we go along. But first? Graduation day.
