Well I'm certainly happy to see this story continues to grow, so there's a couple of things I'd like to talk about. SO the shipping has been decided for its amount of vote, which will be PeterXRuby! I'm not sure what the name of this shipping should be so I'll let you guys figure it out, also there's was something I can't help but wonder, if people really like the idea of this ship then how come I can't find any fanart of it. Which is why I decided to make a drawing to show my support for this ship which you all can find on my DeviantArt webpage and the link is on my page.

Now there's a couple of reviews I got concerning about Peter's spider-senses, so I looked up the Civil-War movie and he did have it and as well as in the Infinity Wars trailer but when I saw the Spider-Man homecoming, I couldn't help but see the moments where Peter didn't have his spider-senses, like where the Vulture managed to grab Peter without sensing it or anything and how Peter was punched in the face by Shocker when he was leaving the dance. So I decided that this Peter Parker will still have his spider-senses but since he's still young, he'll still need time to properly to utilize with it.

LASTLY I have very exciting news but I'll tell you all at the end of the story! So enjoy!

The yellow shining sun started rising from the ground, filling the sky with mighty colors of red, and splashing the clouds with endless rays of pink.

Most of those rays peaked through the leaves of the forest, one of which managed to shine in the sleeping face of Peter Parker.

The young hero let out a small groan as he moved his hand in front of his eyes to block the unwelcome light. He slowly opened his eyes before bringing himself up to stretch his arms, letting out a grunt of comfort.

He regained his senses before looking around and seeing Amber sleeping besides her horse across the burnt out campfire. He recalled last night what happened after he finished his small video journal. Amber had returned with a couple of fishes for them to eat. The two had talked quite a bit about certain topics last night.

For instance, that creature from last night was known as Grimm, specifically called a Beringel, as there were several other types of Grimm than just gorilla-types.

Also, Peter was able to learn that the crystals attached to the end of Amber's staff was something called Dust. Apparently, it was a special type of mineral (can be in crystal or powder form) that each had its own unique ability, depending on the color.

"I wonder if I can mix them with my web fluid," Peter muttered in thought, then winced at the mention "Then again…I don't even know if I can make any more web fluid when I run out."

A yawn interrupted his aloud thinking. He turned to see Amber waking up as she slowly sat up and stretched her arms. She turned to him and gave him a wave.

"Morning," she greeted before looking at her horse and petted it to wake it up. "Did you manage to sleep well?"

Peter nodded. "Yeah, I slept fine."

No thanks to the horse farting on Peter last night.

"So, what's the plan for today?"

The horse had finally gotten up, Amber now sitting on the saddle. "Well I'm going to go out to gather some water in a nearby river. Ready to leave?"

"Actually," Peter said. "I was wondering if I could look around the area a bit more."

Amber frowned a bit. "Are you sure? There's a high chance of more Grimm in the area."

Peter gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Amber. I know I may not look it, but I can take care of myself."

Amber remained silent for a couple of seconds before letting out a sigh.

"Alright then, but please don't go too far. We're still on our way to Vale."

Peter nodded his head. "Yeah, yeah. I promise I won't go too far. But mind pointing where the river is at?"

"Sure," Amber smiled as she pointed north. "There's a dirt road that'll led you to the river. Just be careful, alright?"

Peter nodded quickly, picking up his backpack. "Yeah, no problem, I'll be careful."

"Alright then, just making sure."

With that, Amber commanded her horse in the direction of the river.

Watching her go for a bit, Peter turned and moved in the opposite direction.

Once he got far enough, he stopped and looked around to be sure to coast was clear of either Amber or any Grimm.

He quickly brought out his backpack and began removing his clothes until he had only his boxers on. He stuffed his clothed into the backpack, then started to put on his suit. Once on, he put on his mask, activating the suit.

"Hey, Karen."

"Hello Peter," Karen greeted. "Is everything okay? Did you manage to find the information you were looking for?"

"Yeah, it's all good, and I did learn a bit more about this world." Peter replied as he stuck his backpack on a tree. "One bit of info being these things called Grimm."

"Grimm?" Karen repeated. "I'm afraid I'm not familiar with any species by that name."

"Well, apparently they're these creatures from this world that have no soul, making them look all scary and pitch black."

Peter began walking through the forest. "I only saw one yesterday and it looked…I guess all I can think of is 'freaky'."

"And I'm guessing that you wish to fight one of these 'Grimm'?"

"Yeah," Peter admitted. "I figured if I'm going to be stuck here, then I should try to see how I stand up to these things."

Peter then stopped when a noise came about near him. He quickly climbed onto one of the tree branches to get a better view.

What he found was either really cool or really scary.

What he found was a group of werewolf-like creatures. Since they had black fur, bone-like armor, and red eyes, they were most likely Grimm.

"Whoa," Peter said in awe.

Cool and scary, it is.

"Is that a Grimm?" Karen asked as she ran a scan on the creatures. "I can't seem to detect a heartbeat or any proof of life from them."

Peter hummed. "Well, Amber did say they were soulless, so it wouldn't be surprising"

If he remembered correctly from last night, this had to be one of the types of Grimm Amber mentioned to him as an example. A Beowolf.

Peter stared down his hands, seeing the various options of web-shooters. "So Karen, what do you think we should use against these guys?"

"Honestly, it's quite hard to say. I'm not sure how these creatures tend to attack. However, if they're like wolves, then their attack patterns will be quite unpredictable and will most likely involve group attacks."

"Unpredictable, huh? Then let's go for the-."

Peter was unable to finish his sentence as his mind practically screamed a warning that something was coming at him from behind. He quickly jumped off from the branch, the limb destroyed by one of the werewolf Grimm.

Peter landed on the ground with no problem, then found all the Beowolves glaring at him. Peter let out a sheepish chuckle as he rubbed the back of his head.

"H-Hey, guys. I-I don't suppose we can settle this matter with a game of fetch?"

He could've sworn the Beowolves deadpanned at him for that, but that was quickly replaced with howls of anger as they charged at him.

"Guess not."

Peter quickly dodged one of the Beowolves by moving to the side, then quickly countered by shooting his webs at the creature, connecting with the torso. He pulled the web as he began spinning in circles until he slammed the Grimm into a tree, shattering it from the collision.

As he released his web, Peter once again felt something akin to a warning alarm go off in his senses. A second later, one of the Beowolves tackled him down. The wolf tried to bite down on Peter, but he held it back by its throat as the jaws snapped at him.

"Oh, come on!" Peter groaned. "At least tell me you got your shots!"

"I'm not quite sure how giving this creature the proper vaccinations would alter its behavior, Peter."

"Not what I meant, Karen."

Peter folded his legs and kicked the Beowolf off him, sending into the air a bit. He quickly shot web strings at it, then pulled it down and slammed it into the ground.

Peter then turned his attention towards the last one.

"So, you wanna keep going or-?"

Before Peter could finish his sentence, the last Beowolf let out a loud howl, yet was making no move to attack.

"Oh, that can't be good."

"It seems it's trying to call for reinforcements. It would be best to take it out before the others can respond."

"Way ahead of you."

Peter quickly shot some webs at the Grimm's mouth, keeping it shut. The Grimm tried to claw the web off its snout and jaw, but Peter grabbed the web before it could even try and pulled on it.

The Grimm came soaring towards him. Once it was close enough, Peter balled a fist and punched the Grimm in the chest, cracking the armor and its innards. The Beowolf was sent flying back into a tree, crashing into it and rolling for three seconds before coming to a stop, unmoving.

Peter clapped his hands together and inspected his handiwork. "Alright then, seems like we were able to handle them pretty we-."

He stopped when he noticed that the bodies were starting to fade away, almost like they were evaporating.

He blinked. "Huh…hey Karen, can you scan those black particles coming out of the Grimm?"

"Of course, just give me a moment."

She began scanning the black matter that was floating away into the air before it completely evaporated. A couple of seconds passed before Karen replied.

"I'm sorry Peter, but the black substance from the Grimm are an unknown material that I can't seem to match with anything in my database. Perhaps it's something that can only be found on this world?"

"Yeah, that seems to-."

Peter stopped speaking when he felt the ground slightly shaking. He turned around to see some of the trees being knocked down. Peter's eyes widen once he saw that it was another Grimm knocking them down as it made its way towards him.

"Oh, that's not good."

The Grimm turned out to be another Beowolf, only much larger and with more, different bone armor. The Beowolf looked down at Peter and growled.

"N-Now I know what you're thinking. Should I eat the human that killed my pack? A-And the answer…may surprise you-."

Peter was unable to finish his statement due to the Beowolf raising its claw up and bringing it down upon the young hero.

Peter quickly responded by moving aside and countered by shooting his web towards the Beowolf's arm. He tried pulling on it like usual, only to find that there was much more resistance from this Beowolf than the regular ones. It pulled Peter towards him with ease, surprising the young web-slinger.

The large Beowolf managed to land a backhand at Peter, sending him soaring into the forest. He broke through a tree or two before smacking into a tree that didn't give way.

Peter slumped to the ground with a groan. "Didn't see that coming."

The sound of large footsteps and another tree giving way brought Peter's attention forward, allowing him to see the large Beowolf charging at him.

"Alright Karen," Peter said. "Let's go for some web grenades."

Peter fired several balls of webbing towards the charging Grimm. The Beowolf saw them coming and tried to smack them away, only for its arm to now be covered in web. It grew distracted by its confusion of what just happened, allowing the other web grenades to make contact with it, encasing it in webbing. Peter quickly returned the web settings to normal and began firing webs at the trees, connecting them to the Grimm so that it would stay in place.

Peter then fired some more webbing against two trees near himself, creating a slingshot.

"Alright, let's hope this works."

He began backing up a good distance on the web slingshot, stretching it quite a bit. He stopped and grinned.

"It's all or nothing!"

He lifted his feet, and the web slingshot propelled him at high speed. He kicked his feet outward towards the large Beowolf's chest. The force of the propelled kick was enough to break the webbing holding the Grimm and sending it flying back, its limbs now severed from its body.

Peter landed on the ground while looking at the direction the large Beowolf was sent to. It's dismembered body was slumped against a tree, evaporating into nothing.

Peter let out a wide-eyed grin. "Oh my god, that actually worked!"

"Peter, perhaps now would be a good time to leave without having to attract more attention?"

Peter nodded his head. "Right, yeah. I think so, too."

Peter turned and made his way to where he left his backpack.

It took him a few minutes to find the exact spot where his backpack was, but he found it. He held the bag in his hands and gazed up at the sky.

"Huh," he thought aloud. "Looks like it's going to be cloudy today."

Shrugging, he decided to change into his normal clothes. Just as he was about to place his bag down, he heard a loud noise in the distance. He looked up and saw a thunderstorm forming some distance away. Only, there was something odd about that.

"Hey, Karen? Is it normal for a thunderstorm to gather in a small area?"

"Normally a thunderstorm should expand at least 57.17 miles. But to gather in one singular point is quite improbable."

"So, either Thor somehow ended up here, or-."

Peter stopped when a certain young woman with a staff came to mind.

"Amber."

On the one hand, she had only done a gust of wind. A thunderstorm was something completely different.

On the other hand, this "thunderstorm" was in the exact direction that Amber had gone in. And again, it shouldn't be that small compared to normal thunderstorms.

'Coincidence? I think not!'

Peter made a mad dash in the direction where the thunderstorm was gathering. As he neared the area, he couldn't help but have this bad feeling that something was wrong. And that feeling was growing with each passing second.

"Karen, activate Droney! I need to see what's ahead of me!"

"Understood. Activating Spider-Drone."

The emblem on Spider-Man's suit popped off, revealing a small drone. It flew ahead of Peter to scan the area. Peter was able to see what the drone did and it surprised him.

Amber was currently fighting against three people. One was a raven-haired woman in red, the second a dark-skinned girl with green hair, and the third a grey-haired guy in mostly grey clothing with what appeared to be metal legs up to the knees.

The woman in red fired three arrows towards Amber. The arrows landed around Amber, and suddenly, the ground beneath her erupted in flames. Amber was sent into the air a bit, some sort of force field (that's the only explanation Peter could think of at the moment) shattering from her person.

Peter's eyes widen when he saw Amber crashing into the ground. The three assailants were about to gather around her, but Amber blew them away with a wind attack and continued briefly fighting against the guy and green-haired girl.

Peter was almost there, but his worry grew into panic when the woman in red fired an arrow at Amber, hitting her from behind.

"No!" he cried out as he finally reached the dirt road and broke into a dead-on sprint. He didn't need the drone anymore, the small device returning to his suit.

He saw Amber being held down by the guy and green-haired girl, while the woman in red appeared to be putting on some sort of glove. Peter didn't want to find out if that glove would do something bad, and he was very much sure that Amber didn't want to, either.

Peter fired off one of his webs towards the woman in red, attaching to her back. He didn't hesitate and pulled the woman backwards. She tumbled a bit before regaining her footing and turning to the source of her trouble. Shame she had, since Peter managed to web her gloved hand, temporarily immobilizing and stopping whatever she planned to do with it. She bore a look of frustration, but Peter ignored it in favor of sprinting towards the two holding Amber.

The two released Amber in order to deal with the new and unknown arrival. Peter fired off a splitter of webbing towards the two, but they suddenly disappeared when it made contact. Almost as though those were illusions.

"What the-?"

Peter once again felt that something dangerous was about to happen. For some reason, he instinctively jumped to the side. Not a moment later, the silver-hair guy landed in the spot Peter had been before. Peter sense something else and turned his gaze to the side, only to find the green-haired girl aiming her gun-like weapons at Peter, which surprised him.

'Okay, so this world has guns. I've dealt with that before, at least.'

He was forced out of his thoughts as she fired. He instinctively dodged the bullets by jumping over the wooden fence. He ran in a semi-circle to avoid the bullets, but he was stopped in his tracks when the silver-haired guy landed right in front of him. The green-haired girl landed right behind him, aiming her guns at him.

Peter made to fire off a web at the green-haired girl, but the silver-haired guy took that chance to rush him and engage in close combat. The silver-haired guy sent an onslaught of rapid kicks, but Peter managed to dodge them. When Peter tried to throw a punch at the guy, it went through him.

Peter's eyes widened in shock.

Before he could give a proper response to that, he felt a powerful force hitting his back and was sent crashing into the fence.

Letting out a small groan as he brought himself up, he shook his head and found the guy and girl stalking towards him. Before they could reach him, however, a sound of thunder could be heard and two lightning bolts fired at them, forcing them to dodge and fall back.

Peter looked to his side to see that it was Amber that came to his rescue, but she looked like she was struggling a bit before falling back to her knees.

"Amber!"

Peter rushed to her side, pulling the arrow out of her back before he placed her arm over his shoulder to help her up.

"Are you alright?"

Amber weakly nodded her head. "I-I'm fine…t-they ambushed me. They caught me by surprised. I-If you hadn't come…I don't know what would have happened."

Peter frowned underneath his mask before looking towards the enemy, seeing them regroup with the women in red, who managed to escape from his web.

"Amber," he said softly. "Can you run?"

She sadly shook her head. "I used up too much power during the fight. At most, I can only walk."

"Then I need you to get away from here."

Her eyes widened. "Y-You can't be serious?! I can't leave you alone with those three!"

"Amber, you already did your best against them. I'll take care of the rest."

Amber could only frown at his words. "But can you even handle them?"

He actually paused for a moment.

"…Y-Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can."

Peter gave a small laugh to try to ease Amber's worried look, but she was able to hear the slight nervousness in his voice.

"Peter-."

"Amber…you helped me when you saw that I need help. Now please, let me help you."

Amber could only let out a sigh before moving her arm away from Peter's shoulders, using whatever strength she had left to keep her standing. She looked at Peter with a look of determination.

"Just be sure to win."

Peter nodded, a smile hidden beneath his mask. "Yeah, I can handle that."

Amber nodded back to him before turning around and walking (bordering on stumbling) away. Peter kept an eye on Amber to make sure she was getting away, but he noticed a flash from the corner of his eye.

He brought his hand up, catching an arrow that would've hit Amber in the back again.

Peter turned to see the woman in red looking angered at the interference, and he tossed the arrow aside as he prepared for the coming fight.

'Alright Peter…you got this! I mean, I was able to fight against Captain America, so I can totally handle these guys!'

Maybe.

Possibly.

…Hopefully?

Oh well, too late for second thoughts now.

"So, uh," Peter began. "Mind telling me why Robin Hood and his merry men tried to hurt a fair maiden such as Amber?"

He then mentally slapped himself, realizing that he's the only one that'll ever understand the references he'll make while in this new world.

The woman in red, however, was unamused by his antics.

"You do realize that you will pay for standing in our way?" she asked with a glare.

Peter shrugged. "Yeah, I get that a lot."

He fired his web-shooters, and the battle commenced.
