Prologue: Story of Three Heroes
Two weeks has passed since New York City was saved after being trapped in a world, void of time, by a monster called the Time Eater. Peace has returned to the Earth and its neighboring dimensions, Mobius and Remnant. It's quite a shock. For what feels like years when it's only been a few months, these three, parallel worlds have been caught together in world-ending events that has doomed them and their whole universes to the brink of destruction. Whether it be by mad doctors, monsters of darkness, evil robots, these universes have encountered them all, and always survive. How? Because these dimensions contain the best of the best. Heroes, no matter how big or small, young or old, human or animal, will always step up to the challenge when their worlds are in danger. Perhaps it's fate these worlds were meant to collide with each other. To stand united against a common threat one universe can't handle on their own. Nobody knows for sure. We're just grateful we're still here because of them. And it's all thanks to one hero, who has brought all these worlds together, for simply doing his job to protect the people he loves.
New York City, Forest Hill Cemetery
3 Days before Convergence
It's a summer morning in the island of Queens. The wind is blowing nice and the birds are chirping on a brand-new day, sitting on the gravestone of one "Ben Parker", a beloved husband and uncle who lost his life to a burglar three years ago. Though his body has left this world, his spirit still lives on in the people he has inspired, particularly one boy.
The birds flutter their cute wings when they spot an 18th-year-old man approaching the gravestone of Ben Parker. The brown-haired, hazel eyes man, wearing a flannel green shirt kneels down in front of the gravestone as the birds leave him to his privacy.
"Hey, Uncle Ben. It's your lovable nephew, Peter. Thought I drop by to say hello." The kind-hearted man known as Peter Parker said to his uncle's gravestone with a warm, joyful smile on his face. He scratches his head in slight embarrassment, "Sorry I haven't come by in a while. Things have been…well, things have been, pretty busy. He stops scratching his head as he continues, "This year has been pretty hectic for me, though I argue the stuff that happened three years ago is right up there because…well, I think you know at this point," He refers to his 'special gift' as he continues, "I'm still doing my best to make you proud. I've saved the city, a little too much at this point. Saved the world a dozen times. Saved the universe on an occasion. Even saved all of reality from time to time. Wish I could save a paycheck. Or my grades whenever I'm running late to class. Hehe." He chuckled from his own joke. Peter takes a moment of silence while staring at his uncle's gravestone, "You're probably wondering what I've been doing these past few months. It's a pretty long story, and I'm not good at condensing it, but I'll try my best."
"It all started January. The whole Earth was hit by a large "Pulse" from space. Knocked out all the world's technology for days. The Pulse brought something called the 'ISO-8', millions of 'cosmic space rocks' scattered across the planet, each one very dangerous. A LOT of interesting people wanted their hands on one. One of them happened to be an old enemy of mine, Dr. Otto Octavius, but I like making fun of him by calling him Dr. Octopus. Science Squid used one to travel to a whole new world that had its fair share of trouble, in the form of a madman named Dr. Eggman. The two of them worked together in hopes of conquering both dimensions. As expected, I was there, kicking their butts with another hero. He's small, fast, doesn't do his chores, but we're really good friends. The best of the best, I say."
"Of course, Ock wasn't my only villain that had his creepy hands on the ISO-8. Norman Osborn…the Green Goblin. That ugly green troll tried to rule all of reality using the ISO-8, turn everyone into his personal goblin slaves. It was the biggest battle of my life, and there was no way I could've beaten him on my own, not without help from another dimension. I went to this school that trains kids to become superheroes. Huntsmen they call themselves. I was put in a team with four other girls. It was really awkward living in the same room with cute girls, knowing my track record with women. But it turned out alright. They helped me stopped Goblin and saved the multiverse, and only in their first year. They were always there for me. Even when I lost my way they never gave up on me. We were friends. More than that. We've become family."
"Fast forward a bit, the Avengers thought it was a good idea to set up a new sub team of Avengers to protect our home dimensions. Enter the Dimensional Avengers. D-Avengers for short, consisting of me as their awesome leader. No doubt that was a mistake. Why leave the fate of our whole dimensions in the hands of kids? I…don't really have an answer for that, but it seemed to have worked out. Throughout this whole summer, we've cured a dimension-wide spider epidemic. Stopped an alien invasion. Saved all of time…twice. Raced a few times, once in a black hole, don't ask. Saved the gods. Played around in a space amusement park. And stopped killer robots from making everyone like heavy metal, all while trying to find eight powerful, cosmic McGuffins that when together could change our whole reality as we know it."
"And that's pretty much it." Peter finished telling the story of all his recent adventures to his uncle's grave. "Summer's almost over. 'Bout to enter my last year at Midtown. Hope the universe doesn't get destroyed by the time I graduate. I plan on attending ESU. Becoming a scientist. Thinking of working at Horizon Labs. Stark Industries is nice, I'm an intern there after all, but Horizon seems more my style."
"Peter! There you are!" An adorable voice of a 15-year-old girl captures his attention. A cute silver-eyed girl wearing a red cloak jumps up and hugs Peter from the back while giggling.
"Yo, Pete! What's shakin'?" A 16-year-old, blue talking hedgehog walks up to meet his dimensional friends.
"Hey you two. Good morning." Peter smiled, happy to see them with him. He turns back to his uncle's grave, "Uncle Ben, these are some of the new friends I've made. This here is Sonic," He points to the world's fastest hedgehog, member of the D-Avengers.
"Sup, Uncle Ben. Nice to meet you." Sonic smiled.
"And this cute little doll strangling my neck is Ruby," Peter jokes while pointing to the up-and-coming Huntress of Beacon Academy still hugging him, also a member of the D-Avengers.
"Hello, Uncle Ben! Hope you don't mind if I adopt Peter as my big brother. I got the paperwork and everything almost finalized." Ruby smiled and joked, causing Peter to roll his eyes with a smile on his face as the two share an adorable brother-sister relationship.
"It's been one crazy year, Uncle Ben, and I'm kinda glad it was. Would've never met these two if it wasn't," Peter points to both Sonic and Ruby standing next to him, "They've taught me a lot, and I'm going to assume they've learned something from me."
"Nope." Both joking speedsters shakes their heads.
"And they'll keep learning something from me." Peter said, ignoring the jokesters.
"Doubtful."
Peter's cell phone starts to vibrate after receiving a police alert. "What is it?" Ruby asked her surrogate big brother.
"Trouble at Manhattan. Nothing too major. You guys wanna come?" Peter asked his two speedster friends.
"You bet! It's always fun when we're together!" Sonic replied smiling, giving a thumbs-up.
"Yeah! The three of us are the best! Let's go take on the bad guys!" An excited Ruby fist-bumps the air.
"Then keep up, kid!" Sonic revs up a figure eight and runs at supersonic speeds towards Manhattan.
"Sonic! That's not fair! I can't run as fast as you!" Ruby whined as she uses her speedy Semblance in hopes of catching up with Sonic.
Peter chuckled, happy to be with amazing friends you can't find anywhere else. He looks back at his uncle's grave to have one last talk to him, "Hope you're watching, Uncle Ben. I'm gonna continue keeping everyone safe. Keep them from getting scared. And make it fun. You do what you do 'cause it's the right thing to do. You were more than a father to me, Ben Parker. More than a role model... You were my hero. Now it's my turn. Because from now on, I'm going to be yours! You'll see. I'm going to give it my all! We'll have fun! I'll never quit! Instead…" Peter takes off his clothes to reveal his signature red and blue spider costume. He shoots a webline to the nearest tree and starts swinging to catch up with Sonic and Ruby, "I'll continue being Amazing!"
KFX Here: It's a beginning of a long journey, folks. This prologue served the purpose of recounting previous stories for those who haven't caught up or haven't bothered reading them. I recommend you should. They're not the best but should be fun. We got a new opening and ending next. Something fitting. And look forward to the 17 chapters of Act/Volume 1 of the finale of the Masters of Evil Saga.
