Lap 1: Shift into Zero Gravity
It's been about one month since the multiverse was saved thanks to heroes from five other dimensions teaming up and working together to stop the Green Goblin and his dreaded Goblin Nation. Everything has been at peace on Earth besides the regular supervillain attack that have always been quelled thanks to Earth's Mightiest Heroes: The Avengers, who recently gain a new addition to the team in the form of the wisecracking webhead himself: The Amazing Spider-Man.
Thanks to his sensational efforts during the last battle, not only was Spidey granted membership to the Avengers, but he was also made the leader of the new sub-team of Avengers called the D-Avengers, consisting of his friends from Mobius, Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails, but also his friends/teammates from Remnant, Team RWBY, with their job being to protect their dimensions from total chaos and destruction. But since everything has been at peace since they last met, they have no reason to assemble until their summer vacation, which is still a while away.
Manhattan, New York City
It's a peaceful and lovely evening at Manhattan. No major crime is currently taking place, so the people of New York can relax while walking down the streets of the city. But somewhere down at a Stark Industries warehouse near the piers, there is some trouble afoot. In his security room, with many cameras focusing on the many boxes inside the warehouse, Security Guard Lee is taking a nap, not noticing four strange but familiar individuals breaking into the warehouse, temporarily disabling the security and tech surrounding one of the boxes, and taking out four hi-tech hoverboards and using them to ride out of the facility before security is back up.
Lee yawns and scratches his head before turning back to the cameras, where everything looks as normal as before. "Everything seems normal." He said as he stretches his arms to the air. "Guess it's time for me to continue my break." He said with another yawn, going back to sleep by the next second.
Outside the warehouse, the four burglars use their new, stolen hi-tech hoverboards to fly through the nightly skies of Manhattan, leaving glowing, colored lights of energy from the backside of their respective boards before landing on top of a rooftop.
"There. We got you a hoverboard. Are you happy now?" The green emerald thief from Remnant, who has the ability to mess with a person's mind, and holding a lush white/pale-green hoverboard, Emerald Sustrai asked her partner in crime as he fondles over his new, shiny grey-black hoverboard.
"Yes. Happy. Very happy. Oh, I always wanted one of these." Mercury Black replied, kissing is new board, causing her emerald colored friend to let out a huff on how childish he's acting.
"Ah yes…" Their boss and fearless leader, Cinder Fall, started talking to get her associates' attention while looking down on her sleek and fiery, crimson hoverboard with her left arm. "The new Stark Board EGX. Powered by clean and renewable energy, this hoverboard can allow the user to fly and hover at incredible high speeds, easily surpassing that of the speed of sound, making them almost impossible to catch up with. A glimpse of a hi-tech future, since this board won't be released to the public for another few months."
"But thankfully, thanks to us, we are the first ones in the world to own such a board." Their friend and newest addition to the team, Venom, aka Eddie Brock, spoke up with his creepy grin and elongated tongue sticking out from his mouth while holding onto his big, black-and-while hoverboard.
Cinder smiles as she turns to Venom. "Your right. This is certainly a wonderful gift you gave us, Eddie."
"Anything for our inter-dimensional friends." Venom said, still with a grin on his face. "When I heard rumors about these Stark Boards held up at that warehouse, we thought it would be appropriate to clue you all in, since you three have been such lovely guests in our dimension, and to congratulate ol' Cindy here for completing that gruesome training session at China two days ago."
"Don't remind me." Cinder said while holding onto her head, repressing the horrible memories of her training at China. The cunning crimson fighter then hops onto her hoverboard. "Let's head back to the apartment to get some rest, then we can try out our new boards in the morning."
"Yeah!" Mercury agreed with excitement as he hops onto his floating board. "Can't wait to try out my new Dusk Star and show off my air-grinding tricks.
"Dusk Star?" Emerald scoffs with a smirk while hoping onto her hoverboard. "You already named it?"
"Why not? A cool board needs a cool name." Mercury replied before he starts flying through the skies above New York on his new board.
"In that case…" Emerald starts chasing down her partner on her hoverboard. "Let's see who'll get home faster: Your Dusk Star or my Solar Emerald!"
"Children, children. We all know the Dark Heart is the best board ever." Venom said as he and Cinder hop onto their respective boards. "Race ya home, Cindy!"
"Bring it, Eddie." She replied with a cocky smirk. "The Crimson Phoenix can beat any board without trouble. It is second-to-none, and I'm going to prove it." She declared as the two race each other through the night back to their apartment home somewhere in Manhattan.
The Next Morning
The next day, Cinder and her team practice their new hoverboards at an abandoned skateboard rink at the edge of the city so they won't be spotted. And to match the style of their new boards, the team got some new racing gear for themselves, with slight redesigns of their regular clothing pattern, as well as wearing respective colored glasses over their heads to look cooler.
Eddie Brock, in his normal human form, leans next to a lamppost and drinks from his water bottle as he watches new friends continue performing some amazing tricks on their new hoverboards all across the rink.
"Woo-hoo! This is awesome!" Mercury exclaimed in excitement, grinding on some rails with his hoverboard.
"Doing good, Merc! Keep at it!" Eddie encouraged Mercury before turning to Emerald, who is busy practicing her swerving with her hoverboard. "Make sure to balance yourself or you might fall, Em!"
"I know! I know!" Emerald said while trying to keep balance with her board, but is then taken back as she sees Cinder racing around the entire rink at mind-blowing speeds. "Oh yeah! Go Cinder!" She cheers for her boss as Cindy surrounds herself in a flaming aura, entering the deep well of the rink before launching herself up into the air and performing tricks with her hoverboard that would make Tony Hawk stare in awe.
Eddie claps for his friend as she lands right next to him. "Not bad. Not bad, Cin. You were incredible. Though I'm sure I could do so much better."
"Is that a fact, Eddie? Who won last night's race?" Cinder asked him with a cocky smirk, already knowing who won that race.
Eddie takes a sip from his water before answering her question. "I did, of course. I was so fast last night that I had to go back and see what was taking you so long." He said, getting a laugh from Cinder as the other two members of the team fly back to them.
"So now that we got the hang of these boards, let's say we race around New Jersey for a couple of laps. Find out which one of us is the fastest. What do you say?" Mercury asked the rest of his teammates.
"Hmm. Sounds like fun. But what I think would make this even more fun if we had another guest to join us in this race." Cinder replied.
"You're thinking who I'm thinking?" Eddie asked Cinder with a smirk.
"You bet." Cinder answered him.
"Who?" Emerald asked the two, as she and Mercury are lost on who they're referring to.
"The Spider, of course." Cinder answered her subordinate' question.
"Spider-Man?" Mercury asked with a confused look.
Cinder nodded to his question. "The Spider is the only one we saw who has a similar board to ours. I want to race him and find out which one of us is the fastest. I'm sure the Spider can't deny such a challenge from his favorite rival."
"Rivals. Remember?" Eddie asked the crimson racer as he puts on his symbiote and transforms back in Venom, this time using the symbiote to form a spiked helmet over his head while also forming racing glasses over his head. "If there's anyone that's going to beat the Spider in anything, it's us." He said while pointing to himself.
"Then let's go find him." Cinder said as the form of them split up from the rink to find and offer Spider-Man and race between them for fun and glory.
30 minutes later…
"Find him?" Cinder asked her teammates above a rooftop building somewhere in the middle of Manhattan.
"Nope. Me and Mercury searched the entire city for him but found nothing. Not at any crime spot or anywhere else." Emerald informed her boss on the status of Spider-Man.
"He's not at his usual hangouts either." Venom informed Cindy after taking a quick visit to Peter's home, school, and job since only he and Cinder are the only ones out of the four of them that knows his secret identity.
"Maybe he's on an Avenger mission somewhere around the planet." Mercury conjectured.
"If that's the case, he might not be back for the rest of the day at the very least." Cinder said while pondering to herself. "Now what?"
"Hey. I know someone else who is as annoying as the Spider to race against." Venom started speaking.
"Who?" Cinder asked the black monster.
"That blue hedgehog from that other world." Venom answered her.
"You mean that Sonic guy or whatever his name is?" Cinder asked him to make sure she got his name right, which Venom confirms with a grinning, and creepy, nod.
"From what you three told us a month ago, that sewer rat has a hoverboard like the Spider's and ours. We're sure he could provide us with so much fun if we kindly ask. And this is also the perfect opportunity to check out what his world is like." Venom explained the plan to the team.
"Excellent idea, Eddie." Cinder responded with a smile as she starts to mess with the controls on her highly advanced, hi-tech wrist device, given by Spidey himself, her Webware, powered by the mysterious, yet immensely powerful ISO-8 which can allow one to travel dimensions with ease. After a few seconds messing with the controls, she opened up a red portal right in front of her team to Mobius. "Next stop: Mobius. Time to see if Sonic the Hedgehog really is the fastest thing alive." She said as all four of them enter the portal together before it closes behind them.
Mobius, The Gigan Rocks
After crossing dimensions thanks to the power of Cinder's ISO-8 wrist-powered device, the anti-heroes find themselves at Mobius, somewhere in the middle of a mountainous region in a moonlit canyon at night, filled with ancient ruins of an abandoned civilization.
"So this is Mobius?" Mercury asked while the team takes a little walk around the canyon filled with sparkling crystals and whatnot. "Definitely a downgrade from both Earth and Remnant."
"That's because we're in some ancient ruins, genius." Emerald, annoyingly, replied to her dumb, non-thinking partner.
"There's definitely some strange about this place. It's faint, but I can sense a mysterious power not far from here." Cinder said while scanning her surroundings, using the powers from a modified ISO-8 crystal Spider-Man gave her from their last adventure to absorb and give her power that makes the Maidens from Remnant weak in comparison.
After hearing those words out of her mouth, Venom hops onto his hoverboard and starts floating in the air. "So what are we waiting for? Let's find this 'mysterious power' and use it to crush our enemies, mostly the bugman himself."
"Not so fast!"
BGM-Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity OST-Catch Me If You Can
The four anti-heroes turn around to meet three new, anthropomorphic bird animals that are like Sonic approach them on their own, unique hoverboards. One of them looks like a green, humanoid hawk, the other looks like a purple swallow bird creature, and the last one looks like an albatross with grey feathers.
"I don't know who you four are, but no one is getting that treasure except me!" The green hawk said to Cinder and her team.
"Treasure?" Emerald asked while staring at the new arrivals, still trying to get used to meeting with actual, talking animals after meeting with Sonic and his friends back during the universal war two months ago.
"That's right, and it's ours, so beat it!" The purple swallow warned the humans.
"Or else we'll do the beating for you!" The grey and dumb albatross said, hitting his fists together as a way to threaten them.
"Is that so? Bring it on, birdy! We've been in the mood to eat some fried chicken lately!" Venom said while sticking out his long tongue.
The humanoid hawk takes a quick glance at Cinder's hoverboard and seems pretty interested. "Hmm. That's an interesting board. I've never seen an Extreme Gear like that before." He said to Cinder.
"Extreme Gear?" Cinder asked, a bit confused on what an Extreme Gear is while taking another look at her Sun Phoenix board.
"How about this…?" The green bird starts talking to get Cinder's attention. "Let's race each other and see which team will make it to the treasure first. Whoever does gets to keep it." He proposed to Cinder, shocking his teammates from his offer.
"J-Jet!" The purple swallow is taken back from his daring proposal.
Cinder lets out a smile, as she can tell this guy can provide her a fun challenge. "You're on, Jet." She said before hoping onto her board, with everyone else doing the same thing.
"Wave! Storm! Let's show these amateurs what happens when you race against the Babylon Rogues!" Jet said to his teammates.
"Right!" Both Wave and Storm agreed with a nod as they steadily prepare to race against Cinder's team.
"Hope you birds have an appetite for dust, because that's what you'll be eating in the next few minutes!" Mercury trash talk his new, otherworldly opponents.
"Heh! Kid! You're talking to the Legendary Wind Master of this world! Providing dust for my opponents to eat are my specialty!" Jet replied to Mercury with his own trash talk.
"Let's see how long you can keep that title!" Cinder said to the legendary hawk man.
"Let's talking, more racing!" Venom said to get everyone ready.
"I agree with this one! Let's begin shall we?" Jet asked as everyone starts powering up their hoverboards and begins to race each other through the mountainous canyon track course.
BGM End
BGM-Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity OST-Sealed Ground
Both Cinder's team and the newly-introduced Babylon Rogues start racing each other across the tracks of this nightly canyon course. Because of their more veteran experience with Extreme Gears and hoverboards, the Babylon Rogues easily manage to out-speed Cinder's team through tricks and taking advantage of tight corners.
"These guys are good." Emerald said while riding beside her teammates, noticing how easily beaten they are getting.
"Doesn't matter. Just watch this!" Mercury said, using a variety of tricks after jumping off a ramp to gain speed, managing to catch up with Storm.
"Whoa! Where did you come from?" Storm asked the grey-haired teenager.
"From the winning ramp of victory." Mercury joked.
"Very funny." Storm said, trying to punch Mercury as they race, but Merc blocks the punch with his mechanical leg. As the two riders fight against each other, fist-to-feet, Venom comes barging through the brief feud as Emerald and Cinder hold onto his stretched out tentacles.
"Out of the way, featherless maggot! Venom's coming through!" The symbiote monster said to Storm, shooting out another tendril from his black back at Mercury, who catches it and is dragged across the track with the others, leaving Storm behind their dust.
Using her Semblance, Emerald creates a fake mental rock appear out of nowhere in front of Wave, causing her to temporarily lose her balance for a quick second as Cinder's team passes her. "Hey! That's cheating!" Wave said in frustration, raising her fist in the air angry.
"No one didn't say we can't use our powers!" Emerald replied with a devious smirk back to Wave.
All contestants see the finish line not far from them, with Jet still in first place out of everyone. "Venom! Throw me!" Cinder shouted to Brock to help her win before Jet does.
"You got it, Cindy!" Venom flings Cinder from his tentacle at high speed, causing her to catch up and actually get in front of Jet, giving her the first place position.
"Huh…Not bad!" Jet said, impressed by Cinder's skills and her teamwork with her crew.
Cinder takes a look back to find Jet is nowhere to be seen behind her. "What the…?!" She takes a second to look up to the night sky above her, where she sees that Jet has jump high into the air, looking like he's in the center of the half-destroyed moon of Mobius, and comes flying down at Cinder while enveloped in a gush of winds.
Thinking quickly, Cinder powers up a flaming aura around herself and her hoverboard, releasing a sudden burst of fire as Jet's own wind energy collides with her flames, releasing a bright light as the two, fierce riders manage to fly through the finish line at the same time, ending the race in a tie.
BGM End
"I'll admit. You weren't half bad for a bunch of amateurs. I wasn't expecting you four to be this good." Jet complimented his new opponents for an excellent race.
"And you definitely live up to your Wind Master title." Cinder said to Jet before taking his hand and shaking it. "The name's Cinder Fall." She kindly introduced herself to Jet.
"And I'm Jet the Hawk, leader of the famous Babylon Rogues. Nice to meet ya, Cinder." Jet said as he takes out his hand so he could turn to Cinder's teammates and his own teammates as they arrive across the finish line.
"So who won?" Storm asked his boss.
"It ended in a tie." Cinder answered the grey bird.
"A tie?" Emerald asked, sounding a bit disappointed that they neither won or lost.
"Right. And since it ended in a tie, how about both groups check out this treasure together?" Jet asked both teams.
"You're the boss, Jet. Lead the way." Wave said as they all start walking towards this great treasure central location.
"So what's so special about this 'treasure' you birds keep spewing from your beaks?" Venom asked, wondering what the treasure is.
"This treasure is called the Ark of the Cosmos, invented by our ancient ancestors, but that's all we know until we could get our hands on the thing for proper research." Wave explained to the symbiote.
"Hmm. Sounds interesting." Venom replied.
"Boss, look!" Storm points Jet and the united crew to a stone keyboard which has a chalice with an Ark of the Cosmos in it.
"I'll grab it." Mercury spoke up.
BGM-Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity OST-Give Me the Power
"No." Jet stopped him with his left arm. "Do anything stupid and the traps will go off. Leave this one to me." The leader of the Babylon Rogues walks up to the stone keyboard with his teammates and new friends right behind him. Jet starts pressing on some keys while everyone but Cinder and Venom looking a little scared and worried on what happens if he presses the wrong key. After a few seconds of key pushing, all the keys he presses glow green and are pushed back slightly. He then turns around to his friends and thinks for a moment. "That takes care of that trap." He said with a confident thumb up.
The girls of the group nod while Venom and Mercury smiles and Storm hits his fists together. "Yup!" Storm said.
They all then stare at Jet as he steadily takes out the Ark out of the chalice so he won't trigger a last-minute trap. After succeeding in taking out the Ark, he holds it up to the air. "I got it!"
"So that's the Ark of the Cosmos. I can definitely feel a mysterious power resonating from it." Cinder said crossed armed while standing beside Jet to take a closer look at the stone.
"And it could use a bit of dusting as well." Venom said while staring at the stone himself.
As they all do that, Wave sees a shooting star up at the nightly skies above. "Look, a shooting star." She said, closing her eyes and putting her hands together.
"Hey, Whatcha doing there, Wave?" Storm asked his purple teammate.
"Making a wish. They say if you make a wish before it disappears, it'll come true." Wave answered the big, grey buffoon.
Mercury and Storm start laughing on how ridiculous that sounds. "Oh man, that's precious!" Mercury said while wiping a fake tear from his eye.
"I know. Seriously Wave, how old are you? Grow up! Right, boss?" Storm and Mercury see both Jet and Cinder making a wish, as well as Emerald and Venom, leaving only these losers the only ones not making a wish. "Uh oh…"
"Ah man. You guys too?" Mercury asked his friends, starting to feel really left out and awkward of not joining in on the fun.
"All right, star, give me the power to beat him." Both Jet AND Cinder think to themselves at the same time, wishing for the power to defeat their respective rivals.
BGM End
BGM-Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity OST-Meteor Falls
As they all wish to themselves, three meteorites pass by one by one. Suddenly, just as Storm and Mercury look at each other awkwardly and starts wishing too, the horizon glows red from a meteor impact and the ground starts to shake, causing an earthquake. "Whoa!" Everyone but Cinder, Venom, and Jet shouted as the ground starts to shake.
"What was that?!" Venom asked, keeping himself in place while holding onto Cinder's arm thanks to his own sticking powers to the ground.
"I don't know!" Cinder replied.
Just then, the stone keyboard and chalice slowly starts to retract into the ground. "No, the trap!" Jet said, just before two huge boulders start to fall down onto them.
"Venom! Do something!" Cinder ordered the symbiote.
"On it!" Venom responded, getting ready to destroy the boulders as they start to fall right on top of them, but just as he was about to attack, the Ark of the Cosmos in Jet's hands start glowing, keeping the stones suspended in the air and the united crew start floating in mid-air inside a gravity bubble. "Wait! This isn't my doing!" Venom said while trying wonder why he and everyone else is starting to float in mid-air.
"Is this coming from the stone?!" Emerald asked while pointing to the stone. "The power it contains is…"
"Amazing…" Cinder said in awe.
Jet takes another look at the stone in his hand. "Looks like my wish came true already." He said with a smile before he uses the stone's power to send them all flying across the ruins as the green hawk laughs manically.
BGM Ends
Onboard the Babylon Rogues' ship
After blitzing through the ancient ruins thanks to the Ark of the Cosmos' power, both teams arrive back at the Babylon Rogues' ship to start analyzing the stone, but Wave spends her minute analyzing Cinder's team hoverboards, or Extreme Gears she likes to call it, and is simply amazed at the tech she's observing right now.
"This Gear. This tech. It's simply incredible. Absolutely incredible." Wave said in marvel on the analysis coming from Cinder's Crismon Phoenix Gear. "I've never seen something so advanced in my life that it seems so out of this world. Who build this?" The swallow mechanic asked Cinder's team.
"Not us, we can tell you that." Mercury answered her while leisurely leaning on the wall.
"So you four stole them, huh?" Jet asked the team while sitting on his big chair behind his desk.
"Yup. We stole them from a guy named Tony Stark. A bit of a genius from our world but is a bit too dumb to hire better security." Venom said while clinging himself to the wall.
"'Our world'? What do you mean by that?" Storm asked while scratching his head.
"We're not exactly from this dimension." Emerald informed the big oaf.
"Dimension?" Wave asked with interest in her voice.
"We come from a different world named Earth. Well, Venom here comes from Earth, the three of us are from a world called Remnant but are currently living on Earth to take a break from all the craziness that's been happening lately." Cinder informed the Rogues on other dimensions and junk.
"Other worlds, huh? Sounds interesting, but we can deal with that later." Jet said before turning to Wave next to his desk. "Wave, start analysis on the Ark of the Cosmos, and Storm, show our inter-dimensional guests their living quarters."
"Aye, aye boss." Storm said as he and his new pals start leaving the room.
"See ya in the morning, Jet." Cinder said to the hawk before closing the door behind her, leaving only Jet and Wave in the room alone.
"Can't believe there's a guy in another world that could produce Extreme Gear better than anything I could create. Ooooh, it makes me mad just thinking about it." Wave said, frustrated over the fact that a guy like Tony Stark is smarter and better than her in developing better hi-tech hoverboards than her.
"Quit your whining and start analyzing that stone already." Jet told her off before she could continue complaining like a child.
Wave sighed, knowing that he's right. "Right away, Jet." She said as she starts analyzing the stone they retrieved from the ruins.
"Other worlds…" Jet whispered to himself. "That definitely sounds interesting." He said with a small, hard to hear laugh to himself.
A strange and mysterious wasteland
During that same night, at a mysterious and hi-tech tower, one of the meteors that flew earlier at the ruins is seen from the computer room's window. After a while the shooting star distorts an energy wave, stops in midair and drops to the ground. It rolls along the ground until it hits a plain, black and white, with a disk for a torso robot's foot. The robots in that facility start to activate by themselves, destroy the walls, and stomp towards their front for a strange purpose.
*BGM-Dragon Ball Z Kai Buu Saga- Next Episode Preview (Never Give Up Version) *
Spider-Man: Yo, I'm Spider-Man. Since nothing's crazy been happening on Earth, I decided to pay Sonic and the others a visit through Mobius, more specifically that future city that looks like something you would find only at 2099. Huh? Why are these robots attacking us? I only came here to visit. Why is it that whenever I visit one of my friends, chaos also starts up? Guess me and Sonic will have to fight our way out of this jam as usual.
