Race 0: Attention Inter-Dimensional Racers

It's a quiet, summer afternoon over at New York. No supervillains. No alien invasions. Everyone and everything is so peaceful and calm. And it's not just the people of Earth enjoying their time of peace. Both their neighboring dimensional counterparts, Mobius and Remnant, are also experiencing healthy relaxation without having to worry about the end of the world. To most people, it's a godsend to enjoy their summer break without worry. But to some that are hungering for some action, don't fret, because in a few short minutes, their hunger will be satiated by an incredible announcement so big, all three dimensions will be caught in this massive windstorm, made possible by the man who has it all.

During a commercial break, all eyes from across dimensions are glued to the screen once they immediately see the big man himself, the owner of THE largest multinational tech company on Earth, and a founding member of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, The Avengers, Anthony "Tony" Stark, also known as the Invincible Armored Avenger, Iron Man, here to make an out-of-this-world announcement that will change the world forever.

BGM-Sonic Riders OST-Get Ready for the Big Event

'Ladies and gentlemen! People from across dimensions! Welcome!' Tony introduced himself through everyone's screens, whether it's their handheld device, TVs, or even their radio. 'My name is Tony Stark: Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist, but I'm sure you all recognize me as my equally handsome other…' And in just a quick second, Tony suits up into his Iron Man Armor. 'Iron Man, and I'm here to give you an exciting event you do NOT want to miss! Since all our worlds have been at peace for a while, Stark Industries have created something that'll not only spice up your lifestyle, but for each of our dimensions to know each other a little more. We're calling it the "DX World Grand Prix," the first and BIGGEST interdimensional, no-holds-barred racing tournament to find out who's the best of the best on our brand-new "Stark Board EGXs," the next-generation in Extreme Gear technology.' He said while showing off one of his company's newest hoverboards to his adoring audience. 'So, if you think you're fast, grab an Extreme Gear from one of our inter-dimensional partners.' said Stark, showing his partners like the Schnee Dust Company and Breezie Media among other big industries he could find across their worlds. 'The winning team gets an ABUNDANTLY large cash prize and treasure, a full-paid trip around a world of your choosing, AND the chance to hang out with ME for a day, where I build you your very own Extreme Gear, using top-of-the-line Arc Reactor technology!' He said while showing off the prizes on screens, completely capturing the interest of everyone paying attention. 'Heh. But don't expect it to be easy! You'll be racing across each dimension, through green hills and grim canyons, from simple hard-light highways to challenges of mind-numbing complexity! If you want to know more, join us at the opening ceremony this weekend at this year's Stark Expo over at Queens, New York! Try to keep up!' And with that closing line, Stark ends his mind-blowing commercial, with everyone from Earth to Remnant already in line for their Extreme Gear and practicing until the tournament.

BGM End

Earth, Latveria

And it's not just ordinary people too that are joining this race. Heroes and even some villains are thinking about taking time off to participate in the races. "Oooooo! That sounds fun!" Cubot said after watching the grand announcement inside Castle Doom with his other robotic pal, Orbot on the couch.

"Oh, how I always dreamed of racing. Too bad none of us don't have legs to really ride an Extreme Gear on. What a shame." Orbot said, sounding disappointed he or Cubot can't race because they don't have feet, or even legs. To his side, however, he spots the Dark Mistress from Remnant, and a member of the maniacal Masters of Evil, Salem, simply sitting on a chair, minding her own business while she reads off one of Doom's books. "Uh, Ms. Salem?" He nervously starts a conversation with her because he finds her pretty scary.

"Speak, Orbot." Salem calmly replied, still entirely focused on her book.

"Are you, by any chance, interested in the DX World Grand Prix?" Orbot asked her.

Salem takes a second from her book to answer Orbot properly. "DX World Grand Prix?"

"You don't know? There was just a commercial about it. Everyone from all of our dimensions will be entering to race for big prizes." Cubot told her.

"A race? That must explain what Grimadoom and Cinder have been doing for the past few days." She thought in her head, as she's been wondering why her "son" and Cinder's team have been messing around the country on their hoverboards. "I have no interest in participating in human racing."

"That's quite a shame, my dear."

Wondering who was just speaking to her, Salem turns around to find her equal associate of their sinister group, Dr. Eggman walking up dressed like a weird king. "Doctor. What is the meaning of those…clothing?" She asked with a strange look on her face after noticing Eggman's new design.

"What are talking about? I'm King Doc! Of, uh…Toreggmania! I'm joining the Grand Prix as one of its sponsors. You should know that I also hosted my own racing tournament before." Eggman told her.

"Enlighten me." Salem replied, sounding totally uninterested.

"C'mon, Sal. Lighten up a bit. I say join. With Doom and Otto out of town for a while, we have to do something to enjoy ourselves. After all, it's summer vacation! Us hard-working conquerors need a break too, you know!" Eggman said to convince Salem to join the races.

"No." Salem simply replied before turning back to her book.

"Are you sure?" Eggman asked again.

"I'm not participating in a childish competition!" Salem replied, starting to sound irritated from the constant pleading.

Even with that relatively small outburst, Eggman remains calm enough to let out a devious smirk. "Childish, you say? Ohoho. You won't be singing the same tune once my plot sets into motion."

That little response finally got Salem's small interest. "What kind of plot are we talking about?" She asked the egg scientist.

"It's nothing much, but I'm sure you'll find it intriguing to say the least." Eggman replied, still with the creepy grin plastered on his face.

Salem thinks about this for a moment, while not too interested in what Eggman has plan, she is in the mood to do something after being inactive for weeks since the fell dragon incident. She finally put her book aside, "…You win, doctor. Let's hear this intriguing plan you have."

"Excellent! You won't be disappointed! Now…" Eggman takes out a queen costume for Salem to wear. "Put on this disguise." He requested just as fast as he was met with her glowing death stare straight down to his soul. "…Or…not…" He said, scared.

"Hmph…" She grunted, then takes another glance at Tony Stark's commercial about the Grand Prix, starting to find the concept a little interesting than she initially thought before. "The DX World Grand Prix…Hmm…"

KFX Here: Just like in Sonic Free Riders, Eggman will be the main villain of this story, with Salem tagging along because she has nothing better to do. And also expect some other villains participating in the races as well. This is sure to be an awesome tournament.

And now, to answer the many constant questions of one "Joey Fonseca of the Review Section:"

I don't care how you view the Marvel characters since in this story they take many aspects from the comics to the cartoons to the games and especially the MCU.

Spider-Man likes to TEASE his friends, not mock them, there's a difference. That just shows he cares about them. This is my OWN version of Spider-Man. Like I said before, he takes aspects from the cartoons to the comics and etc, so he's kinda like Spectacular Spidey but not completely.

I do not CARE about the DC Arrowverse OR the Marvel Netflix shows or this Crisis on Earth-X. Bother somebody else.

At this point in the series, we are FAR removed from normal RWBY canon, so don't expect Ozpin to die anytime soon or Oscar appearing.

And lastly, if you don't care about the Kaine/Blake relationship, SORRY, but I'm gonna make it work damnit! Kaine's a dick but for good reason, that's why Blake is here to help him become less of a dick. She's the only one that knows what Kaine's going through and feels for him. And if you haven't noticed, since Battle for Remnant, Blake harbors romantic feelings towards Peter, but since he's with Yang, that has transferred to Kaine. A bit creepy, maybe, but don't lie, they both have a lot in common that makes them perfect for one another, and none of you aren't going to change my mind. Like I said in the last story, if you don't like it, either give me advice that'll make the pairing more pleasing to your eyes, or go read something else. Simple as that.
