Issue 1: Back to Basics

One Week Later…At New Vale City

BGM-Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse OST-My name is…Peter B. Parker

'Alright, let's do this "one last time",' said in the thoughts of one 18-year-old web-slinging hero dressed in red and blue tights, running along on top of a building, 'My name is Peter B. Parker. I was bitten by a radioactive spider, and for nearly 4 years, I have been the one and only Spider-Man. In this universe anyways. I'm pretty sure you know the rest.' Spider-Man flips off the edge of the building he was running on to perform one of his signature web swings and some hardcore parkour through the peaceful night of New Vale City.

'You see I saved the city, fell in love, broke up a few times, saved the city some more, maybe too much. I'm a senior in high school. Joined the Avengers. Saved the world. Saved the universe on an occasion. And that was all back in regular ol' New York. In case some of you missed it, don't know how you did, my universe and two others merged together by a couple of jerks we later beat up. We now live in this new world called 'Mobiant Earth', and it's been like this for the past 7 months. I mean, it hasn't been all bad. Sure I made some new enemies from those universes. Broke my back one time. A drone flew into my face. Kept showing up late for school half-asleep. But I handled it like a champ. Wanna know why? Because I'm the Amazing Spider-Man. So no matter how many hits I take, I always find a way to get back up. And it's a good thing too.'

BGM End

The amazing webslinger lands perfectly like a spider on top of a rooftop near an abandoned warehouse, 'Because for the past week, there's been numerous reports about missing animals around the city. The kind from Mobius. We call those types, "Mobinis". Creative, I know. Thugs have been taking them from zoos and parks to your local pet shop. I've managed to save a few, but if I'm going to stop this, I need to go to the source. Thanks to a little tip from Ben Urich from the Bugle, there's gonna be some trade between gangs involving the animals happening right here at this warehouse. Why is it always a warehouse and not an abandoned cafeteria? Now I'm just making myself hungry.' He jokes as he spots a few thugs and crooks entering the warehouse suspiciously, some unloading capsules containing the missing animals and bringing them in, 'There're the animals. And as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, it's up to me to bring them back to the neighborhood, and give those thugs a friendly smackin'.'

The webhead slides down the building before making one heck of a leap to the rooftop of the warehouse, making sure he landed silently as he senses some trouble inside using his incredible Spider-Sense, 'Ooh, I sense a party gathering. Better take out a Spider-Bot to see what I'm up against.'

Using his signature hand gesture to shoot something out of his Web Shooters, a red automatic drone shaped like a spider pop outs and crawls through the ventilation shaft to have a closer look inside the warehouse. Peter uses his suit's HUD to see what Spider-Bot sees. Inside the secured warehouse, Spider-Bot sits on a wall to see a bunch of thugs standing behind a man with a bowler hat and a cane, his ice-creamed partner who wears the same black bowler hat as him, and a man wearing hunter-themed clothing holding knives. This gang is politely confronted by another gang, if you can call them that. Led by Pronghorn sisters is a small army of Badniks and cybernetic soliders wearing uniforms similar to one fat egg doctor.

'This is definitely a party I wasn't expecting. I recognize most of these lovable gents,' Peter jokes as he turns bower hat man's faction of thugs, 'Roman Torchwick and his silent ice cream loving partner, Neopolitan. They were a couple of crime thugs from Remnant, one of the worlds that merged with mine. They weren't really that impressive, against me anyways. Next to them is someone I'm WAY too familiar with and his hunger games, Kraven the Hunter. I can imagine Torchwick hired him to steal the animals since he's too lazy to do it himself. Or he's too old. That would explain the crane.' Peter then shifts attentions to the faction with the robots and cyborgs. 'Right there is the North Amerius Egg Army, led by the Egg Boss sisters, Clove and Cassia the Pronghorn. They used to be called the "Northamer Egg Army" from Mobius before, ya know, worlds collided. With them here, it's obvious why they need the animals and who the real bad guy is. But I thought Eggman was in jail. Should've known better.' His attention is then turn to see Torchwick's gang trading animal capsules for some new high-tech weapons created by the Eggman Empire. 'And the pieces are coming. Trading a capsule of cute woodland creatures for a crate full of dangerous weaponary that could spark a gang war. Whelp. Can't have that. Better go do something about it. But first, a little stealthy spider action.' He said before entering quietly entering the warehouse himself.

Inside the Abandoned Warehouse

Spider-Man infiltrated into the warehouse with no trouble at all as he crawls on the ceiling to stealthily take out as many thugs and soliders as humanly can while Torchwick babbles his mouth. "Hurry it up loading those capsules, boys! I don't have all night!" The crime boss ordered his minions loading the animal capsules he's secured into some of the Blowfish Transporter Badniks parked back. He turns back to Clove and Cassia, "Is there anything else your boss wants me to waste my time doing?"

"Continue capturing more animals and you'll continue receiving support from us." Clove stoically replied to the Vale criminal.

"I've already kidnapped and stolen practically every single fuzzy rodent in this city. What more do you want me to do?" Torchwick asked.

"Then I guess we're done here." Clove replied.

"Good, 'cause I'm in a mood to try out these new toys." Torchwick chuckled a bit menacingly, taking out one of the new high-tech guns built by Eggman for him and his gang. "With these new weapons and Fisk still behind bars, I'll DEFINITELY become the new Kingpin of Crime! Hahaha!"

"Sssh!" Kraven suddenly told the chuckling criminal to shut up.

"Don't 'sssh' me!" Torchwick retorted, annoyed.

"Some of our men have been knocked out." Kraven noticed there are less thugs now than they were a minute ago.

"Same with us." Clove's younger cybernetic sister, Cassia noticed that some of her Egg Soliders and Badniks have been quietly knocked out or just straight up disappeared.

"How the hell did that happen?" Torchwick asked.

Kraven sniffs the air, grabbing the scent of the intruder, one he recognizes almost instantly, "The Spider. He is here. I can smell him."

BGM-Spider-Man: Web of Shadows OST-Kingpin Henchmen

"Why do people always say that? I wash this costume whenever I remember to, but it wouldn't matter because I keep running into you smelly gents." The leading thugs of both factions look to the ceiling to find the quippy Wall-Crawler casually sticking up there while surrounded by a dozen crooks and badniks he webbed up without them noticing.

"Aaargh! Not that annoying accursed bug again! Kill him!" Torchwick ordered his men, along with the Egg Army to turn their attentions to kill Spider-Man. Guns and lasers among other dangerous attacks are fired on the wall-crawler and missing terrible.

"Thanks guys, but I already took a shower," Spidey jokes as he jumps down, swerving through their shots with ease, "But you gentlemen could certainly use a bath!" throwing a few Web Bomb to blast a few crowds with webbing, leaving them open for a blurry beatdown from the hero. After bouncing off an Egg Pawn, he commands his Spider-Bot to assist him battling the crooks by firing beams of electricity to weaken them for a finishing blow. "Shocking!" He still jokes while firing more of his awesome gadgets like Concussive Blasts and Impact Webbing. "C'mon, cyborgs, where's the arm cannons? And are one of you voiced by Khary Payton?" He continues joking as he defeats the cybernetic Egg Soliders. One of the big brute thugs rushes to grab Spidey, but the webhead was too nimble and fast to be caught, vaulting over the brute's head as he webs him up for a sweep-kick. "Ain't hugging this spider!" Peter forms a web hammer to smack him, sending him flying, crushing Badniks. More enemies from both gangs rushes to surround Spider-Man, which is a bad call as he still has a few cool tricks up his sleeve. "Let me take you for a ride. It'll be fun, I swear!" He surrounds himself in a web-like dome to initiate his "Rising Web" technique, and as the name implies, he rises into the air in his web dome while taking the crowd of fools up with him. Then, with a small use of his Aura, the web dome explodes, blowing all of the mooks down unconscious.

"Don't tell me you guys are tuckered out already? We've only just begun this party." Spidey joked. Of course, those were just mooks. Easy to beat. But what triggers his Spider-Sense might give him a challenge. Peter managed to dodge the two-headed spear from Kraven, who looks eager to fighting his old nemesis once again.

"You won't escape from me this time! Come, let us have our dance!" Kraven said, gripping on his spear.

"I never invited you to prom and I don't think I'll ever will." Spidey quipped as he dodges more of Kraven's vicious swings. Kraven is an opponent that, while sometimes gives Spider-Man a run for his money, is still someone he could handle. That becomes much harder once Torchwick, Neo, and Clove finally join the fight, making this a four-against-one brawl. "Hey-hey! Don't interrupt me while I'm smokin' Kraven. You'll all get a beating each, I assure you." He joked.

"Neo, would you shut him up?" Torchwick asked his partner as he's already tired of Spidey's annoying quips.

Neo smiles, dashing towards Spidey for a quick one-on-one clash using her umbrella blade. The two combatants are equally matched in speed and reflexes, but Spidey has the upper hand in strength. To counter this, she uses her Semblance to cast an illusion of herself to trick Spidey into breaking like glass. "Lil' Ms. Mysterio is still really annoying!" Peter quips before Neo appeared to smack him from his blind spot for Torchwick to finally get a few hits on him with his cane.

"Can I help?" Cassia asked her big sister, who is currently holding her purple energy scythe.

"Get the transport ready! We'll be leaving shortly!" Clove ordered as she gives a vertical swing on Spider-Man.

"Aw man. I never get to do the fun stuff." Cassia complained but reluctantly follows her sister's orders.

Kraven throws a metal ball that quickly turns into an electric titanium net trap that captures Spider-Man, pinning him to a wall. "Well this doesn't look good." Peter said jokingly as four of his enemies slowly approach him with their respective weapons.

"That's what I wanted to hear." Torchwick smirked.

"Did you really think you could defeat the four of us all by yourself?" Kraven taunted his nemesis.

"Possibly. And if he could…" A female voice said, surprising the villains. Suddenly, three familiar heroes crash through a window, each one a mobian: one is a two-tailed fox, the other is a red echidna, and the last one is a pink hedgehog wielding a hammer that packs a wallop. "We still want a piece of the action!" Amy finished, with her and her friends, Tails and Knuckles, protect Spider-Man as they confront the villains.

'And if it isn't the backup I didn't call for: my good fox buddy, Tails. Hardheaded powerhouse, Knuckles the Echidna. And one of my favorite hammer people, Amy Rose.' Peter joked in his mind, watching Knuckles and Amy take on the villains while Tails helps break him free form Kraven's trap.

"You know I totally had this, right?" Peter joked to Tails as he didn't call them, believing he could handle this operation himself.

"Says the guy trapped behind a trap." The fox quipped while using his Arm Cannon weapon to free Spider-Man. "Luckily, one of the animals told us something was happening here, so we got here as fast as we could. Figured you could use the backup."

"It does make life easier." Peter quipped.

Now it's a more even battle: Spider-Man embarrassing Torchwick. Tails is holding his own against Clove's scythe swings. Knuckles destroying Kraven's weapons with single punches. And Amy doing her best to keep up with Neo's illusions. "What's the matter? Too afraid to fight me yourself and prefer hiding behind your illusions?" Amy taunted Neo after bashing another one of her illusion clones. That was enough to tick the real Neo off, kicking the hedgehog through the air to Spider-Man's vicinity.

"Spidey! Hammer Web Throw!" Amy shouted.

"Sweet! This will be embarrassing!" Spidey replied. He fires two weblines, one at Torchwick's face and the other at the flying Amy to catch. With a few spins in place, he throws both of them at Neo's surprised attention. First hitting her with Torchwick, then immediately after comes Amy to smash them both straight into seeing stars.

Meanwhile, Kraven raises his two knives above Knuckles as he intends to stab him with them until they were web-yanked from his shocked hands. "Hey, Kraven. You should never bring knives to a knuckles fight!" Peter quips, kicking Kraven in the face towards Knuckles, who defeats the hunter with one heavy punch that almost crashed into Clove during her battle against Tails.

"This is pointless. We've already got what we needed! Fall back! Some of you, keep them busy while we get out of here!" Clove ordered her soliders to escape out back, along with herself. She leaves a few Badniks and soliders to keep the heroes occupied while she, her sister, and the rest of the Egg Army leave on transport ships with the animals they've traded for.

"I'll go on ahead and stop them!" Spidey told his mobian pals while zipping above the big crowd of mooks.

"Be careful!" Tails warned the webslinger.

BGM-Ultimate Spider-Man Game OST-Chasing Theme

Spider-Man swing-kicks some guards as he makes his way outside to the docks to find most of the Egg Army have escaped on Blowfish Transporters. "Most of them are already gone…" He says until he spots one giant Buzz Bomber-shaped battleship that's still in range in the air to hop in, "Except for that one." He quickly uses his webbing to slingshot himself into the open hatch of the Badnik ship and finds a dozen animal capsules inside. He walks up to one to see the animals looking quite scared, "Don't worry, little guys. I'll get you all out of here. Just need to take out the pilot." He then walks up to the pilot seat to find there is no pilot driving the ship, "Who is not here. Maybe this thing's on auto-pilot."

"Close enough." A tough-and-menacing voice triggers Peter's Spider-Sense, prompting the webslinger to dodge the red punch from Zavok.

"You're the most colorful Wendigo I ever seen in my life." Spidey quipped, having no clue who or what Zavok is, or the fact he's not alone. His Spider-Sense immediately tells him to duck under the leaping claw swipe coming from the crazy Zazz, "What the heck are you people? Demonic clowns?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Zazz crazily laughed.

"That's kinda why I asked!" Spidey quipped, then notices his left arm is binded by energy whips coming from Zeena at his side.

"Stay still, cutie." Zeena told the spider.

"Not today!" Peter uses his free hand to web yank Zeena away, freeing himself until he got attacked by the extremely skilled, and acrobatic Master Zik, "Master Yoda?! What is-?!" While he's distracted, Peter got kicked in the stomach by Zor, followed up with a belly tackle from Zomom, sending the poor spider to Zavok to have his bones crushed by his strong bearhug.

"You two look similar. Are you related by any chance?" Zavok asked while crushing Peter's bones as he references Anti-Venom, his new ally from the Lost Hex.

"Probably, if I had any clue what you're talking about!" Spidey quipped, having no idea about Anti-Venom's existence. A thin purple aura envelops Peter's body to give him enough strength to break free from Zavok's harsh grasp, bouncing off his head for a kick to the back, sending him back to other members of the Deadly Six.

"This is beneath us." Zavok said, already done playing with Spider-Man, but more done being Eggman's slave. But as long as he has the Conch, he and the other Six are at his mercy. To get this over with, the leading zeti uses his magnetic ability to throw a capsule out of the ship high above ground, horrifying Spidey.

"The animals!" He exclaimed. In that quick moment he was distracted, Zavok used that opportunity to punch Spider-Man out of the ship as well so that the Deadly Six could freely return to the Lost Hex with the animals they collected.

"Okay Spidey, don't panic. You're just falling 1500 feet above the ocean with nothing to swing on. Nothing new to you." Spidey joked while falling high down the cold night sky that leads to the ocean below along with a falling animal capsule. He web-zips to the top of the capsule and presses the switch that frees the Flickies and other flying-themed animals trapped inside. "Lucky for these guys, they could fly. Unlucky for me, I can't." He joked as he's still in free-fall above the ocean.

Tails, Knuckles, and Amy have just finished rounding up the other crooks including Torchwick, Kraven, and Neo as they head outside to see Spider-Man falling. "Tails, get him!" Amy said to her flying fox friend to save Spidey.

"Might be a little too late!" Tails replied.

Still falling from the sky, Spider-Man is running out of options how to save himself. "Still don't see anything to zip or crawl on. Should I start panicking or should I make this more dramatic?" He joked as he gets closer and closer hitting the ocean. Then out of nowhere, a stream of red petals too fast for the eye to catch catches Spider-Man before he made contact with the ocean and lands him next to his mobian friends, "Huh?!"

BGM-RWBY OST-This Will Be the Day (Instrumental)

"You're getting sloppy, Spidey." A young 16-year-old girl with mysterious silver eyes dressed in red and black wearing a red cloak playfully taunts the experienced superhero with a smirking fingerwag.

Peter smirks after reunited with an old friend he hasn't seen in a bit, "Ruby. Long time no see, ya little rascal. What's been going on with you?"

"Not skydiving like you." Ruby smirked from her little quip.

"Clearly." Peter quipped back.

"Hey kid. Nice to see ya again." Knuckles smiled, walking up to them along with Tails and Amy.

"Hi guys! Long time no see!" Ruby happily waved at her mobian friends.

Spidey stares at Ruby while she's having a cheerful conversation with her animal pals she hasn't seen in a while, 'Ruby Rose. A good friend of mine from Remnant you'd mistake us for siblings. She is basically the little sister I never had. Haven't seen her since spring break two weeks ago. Been kinda busy to hang out. My fault. Superhero life, you know. Wonder what's been going on with her and her sunshine gang?'

BGM End

"Now, Spidey, don't be mad, but I, uh, kinda, um…" Ruby adorably pokes her fingers together, looking quite embarrassed about something she's having trouble telling her big bro.

"Ummm, what?" Spidey asked, having no idea what Ruby is trying to say, until it shows up.

"Yo guys! What's up?!" The sound of a cheerful, 18-year-old blond girl gets everyone's attention. Spider-Man and his friends turn around to see some other old "huntress" friends of theirs driving up on a high-tech red and blue spider car: One is the cheerful blond on the driver's seat, the other is a black-haired girl with cat ears, and the last one is a girl with a ponytail wearing a white combat skirt.

'I was wondering where the rest of Team RWBY were at. Heiress to the Schnee Company, Weiss Schnee. Faunus black cat, Blake Belladonna. And my current girlfriend, Yang Xiao Long driving the Spider-Mobile, which…' Peter takes another take at his car, the Spider-Mobile, which looks like it just went through war and barely survived, as evident with the numerous scratches and other damages on the car.

BGM-Sonic Rush OST-Theme of Comical Event

Seeing his personal car looking all types of busted frightens Spidey to scream, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CAR?!" while an embarrassed Ruby chuckles.

"Tol'ja he would be mad." Weiss casually told a smiling Yang.

"Hiya, Webs. Fancy meeting you here." She cheerfully waved at her boyfriend.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SPIDER-MOBILE?!" It looks like you went through some of Screwball's challenges!" Spidey shouted, wanting answers.

"That's kinda what we've been doing all night." Blake calmly answered that's exactly what they did, going through the live-streaming criminal, Screwball and her wacky challenges for clicks online.

Amy exasperates, "That wacky girl again?"

"Why use my car for that lunatic's challenges?!" Spidey asked loudly.

"Ruby got her learner's permit yesterday." Yang smiled, happy her younger sister is learning to drive.

"Congratulations, but why MY car?!" Peter asked Ruby.

"You said we could borrow it." Ruby replied.

"To test out the new plane and boat modes I incorporated! Not to help give clicks for Screwball!" Spidey retorted.

"How else are we gonna track her down and put her away? We're killing two birds with one stone. One of the birds being Screwball and the other practicing my driving skills. Though I will admit, it was probably a bad idea to do both at the same time. Good idea, Yang!" Ruby said sarcastically to her big sister who thought of the idea of practicing her driving while tracking down Screwball, something Yang doesn't seem to regret judging from her smile and thumbs-up.

"Why my baby?!" Peter asked while looking at his half-destroyed Spider-Mobile, sounding like he wants to cry.

"Your baby? I was the one who built it. Although if you DO want one, you only need to ask." Yang flirted, teasing with her boyfriend.

"I am NOT thinking about that right now," Peter blocking her flirts, "What I am thinking is how I'm going to repair this? This is a very expensive car with custom parts, close to $50,000."

"Send me the bill." Yang casually offered to help.

"On a reporter's salary…Riiight." Spidey quipped, turning around with his arms crossed, seemingly forgetting he's friends with Weiss, Tony Stark, and other rich people, or that the money doesn't really matter and could simply repair with Tails's help.

"So what are you guys doing this late at night?" Blake asked the friends who had interrupted a trade between Torchwick's gang and the Egg Army.

"We're investigating the disappearance of animals that's been happening all over the city. We managed to stop Torchwick that's been collecting them but the Egg Army got away with some of the animals." Tails answered.

"Oh yeah. Heard some of the Chao from Beacon's Chao Garden also disappeared. Poor things." Yang remarked.

"The Egg Army wants the animals? Does that mean Eggman's behind this? But wasn't he in jail?" Weiss asked.

"If it's not Eggman, I'll EAT the Master Emerald!" Knuckles scowled.

"I also ran into some weird people before I fell off their ship. They were six different-colored monsters I never seen before." Spider-Man told them of his brief encounter with the Deadly Six.

"There's still plenty of new stuff popping up in this merged world." Ruby replied.

"Does it explain why I feel like some of my memories have been altered and played out a little differently, like when Ock and Egghead first teamed-up?" Spidey asked, getting the feeling the past have been slightly altered and overwritten with something else similar, like they've been "remixed". (Hint: Spider-Man and Sonic: Fate of Two Worlds RX)

"Just another effect of Doom's Genesis Wave. It's not a big deal. Right now, we need to focus saving the missing animals, and that means finding Eggman." Tails replied.

"We're gonna need Sonic's help for this. Where is he?" Amy asked Peter.

"I don't know where your boyfriend is. Last I heard, he was on another world tour and forgot how to turn on his phone." Peter quipped, having no clue what Sonic is doing at the moment.

"Seriously?! Ugh! That's so like him!" Amy retorted, annoyed of her self-proclaimed boyfriend's attitude.

"That's why you love him." Spidey quipped.

"You are right about that." Amy smirked.

"I get the feeling he'll notice quite soon, but I think we should turn off for the night." Blake suggested some sleep and continue their investigation tomorrow.

"By the way, Pete, did you finish that 12-page book report that's due tomorrow?" Amy asked her classmate at Midtown High School.

"And did you also study for our Spanish test that's in the morning?" Tails asked him another question regarding their studies.

"Oh yeah, totally! Got everything in the bag!" Peter lied.

"You forgot, didn't you?" Amy replied, with her and Tails instantly seeing through his lie with their deadpan stares.

"More like it was deep at the back of my mind to think long and hard about it." Peter joked.

"Seriously, Peter. How do you expect to graduate this year? You know college is going to murder you if you keep this up." Blake asked him, also not amused with how he continues to miss his studies because of his superhero life.

"I know, I know. Sometimes makes me wish somebody would just kill me to avoid all of that." Peter joked.

Upon hearing that, Weiss stands in place with a straight face as she takes out her rapier to answer Peter's wish. "Weiss." Ruby was standing beside her partner with a deadpan stare that's not aimed at her, simply telling her to stop the funny business.

"I was just being a good friend." Weiss replied as she puts away her weapon. "And as your friend, I recommend you clock out for tonight, Pete. Try to get some studying in. Get some sleep. Wake up early for some more studying. And you're good to go." She friendly recommended to her spider friend.

"Thanks for the advice, Miss Heiress Weiss Schnee, ma'am!" Spidey joked with a smirking salute.

"Don't make me slap you." Weiss smirked after a good chuckle.

BGM End

These good interdimensional friends all about to head home for the night, taking the damaged Spider-Mobile back for repairs. Everyone but Ruby exits the docks of the warehouse as the little huntress turns to the stars above with a smile on her face, thinking about her other close friend, Sonic. 'I wonder where he is right now on his journey?' She asked herself in her thoughts.

Flower Park Zone

Flower Park Zone is filled with giant bouncy flowers, thorn-covered vines and other flora. Through this zone is a speedy blue blur belonging to the world-renowned hero, Sonic the Hedgehog. The grinning super speedster speeds through this zone, bouncing off multiple giant flowers to land on one of the tallest flowers in this zone. The blue hero uses his fingers on his mouth to blow a whistle a few times for an unknown reason, perhaps to see if anyone else is here. When no one response, he still smiles before jumping down to continue exploring the world.

The next morning…at Beacon Academy

The next day, a bored Ruby is sitting in her school uniform. She is sitting next to the other members of Team RWBY, right below the row where her other friends, Team JNPR, are sitting on. These two second-year teams along with other students are sitting in the middle of a lecture from their history teacher, Dr. Bartholomew Oobleck, talking about a mysterious hexagonal continent.

"No one knows much about the Lost Hex. According to myth, it is said to be an unexplored 'future continent' in the sky from Mobius that is home to a fabled race of demons known as Zeti that possess an innate ability to manipulate magnetic fields." The hyperactive Oobleck said as he zooms around the room while holding his coffee mug. "Even if this place existed, we are unsure if it or the Zeti survived the Convergence from seven months ago. If it did, it would be the greatest historical find this world will ever witness." He said, taking a sip from his coffee just as the last bell of the day rings, "And speaking of history, don't forget your history report due at the end of the week! Extra credit if it's something I don't know about!" He yelled at his retreating students exiting the class.

Mystic Ruins Station Area…Outside Beacon Academy

BGM-Sonic Mania Adventures OST-Discovery (Special Remix)

"What are you guys' history report gonna be about?" Yang asked her team as they walk outside of Beacon, intending to hit the train station to the city.

"I'm planning on writing my report about the ancient Babylonians. An ancient alien civilization of genies is just ASKING to get bonus points." Weiss answered, thinking about writing about the children of Babylon.

"Mine will be about the Inhumans and Attlian. I have to thank Crystal for allowing me to interview Medusa and Black Bolt about their history." Blake answered, saying her report is about the history of Inhumans.

"How do you interview a guy whose voice can destroy cities?" Yang joked.

"Well, what is your interview about?" Blake asked her partner.

"Managed to convince Knuckles to help me write about the lost Echidna Tribe. What's your report about, Ruby?" Yang asked her little sis, who seems a bit nervous to reply.

"I, uh, haven't really thought about it." Ruby embarrassedly replied that she doesn't have an ancient topic to write about.

"Ruby, you're as bad as Peter." Weiss remarked.

"I know. Maybe I'll go ask him and Tails for help. I'm sure they visited a few ancient zones and met ancient civilizations a bunch of times. I'll see you guys later!" Ruby dashed with her Semblance to the train to go meet up with Peter and Tails for help on her report.

Outside Midtown High School

"I'm impressed. You managed to pass your Spanish test and finish your book report all in one night." Tails said to Peter, walking with him, Amy and Mary Jane Watson outside of class now that it's done for the day.

"I know. I'm good." Peter quipped, smirking.

"Have you guys have any leads on the missing animals?" MJ asked her friends concerned for the missing animals from the city.

"Not yet, but we know Eggman's behind it." Amy replied.

"What could he be planning this time?" Peter wondered.

"Building a robot army to conquer the world?" Tails quipped as that is an Eggman thing to do.

"Nah. Too obvious." Peter joked.

"PETER! TAILS!"

Peter's gang stop on their tracks to see Ruby riding her Extreme Gear to meet up with them. "I need your help!" She requested from the smartest people she knows.

"Did you break the Spider-Mobile again?" Peter joked.

"No! I need help writing a history report that's due at the end of the week! I was hoping you guys might know something I could write about." Ruby requested.

"Sure, Ruby. We'll be happy to help. Just meet us at Central Park with the others." Tails smiled, happy to help out a friend.

Ruby replied with a happy smile on her face, "Thanks, guys! You're the best!"

"If Sonic was here, he might have some topics you could write about since he's always running around. Then again, he's not much of an historian." Amy joked.

BGM End

Two hours later…at Green Hill Zone

Sonic runs through his all-time favorite zone, Green Hill Zone, as he's returning from his world tour. During the trip back to New Vale City, he looks around the area for any of his animal buddies, but notices no one is here. No soul nor animal. Green Hill is totally empty, much to the hedgehog's confusion.

"…It's gotten awfully quiet around here." Sonic noticed. "When the wildlife goes missing, that usually means…" He just now decides to contact his friends with his Miles Electric, managing to get in contact with Tails about the missing animals. "Yo, Tails! Listen, I've been cruisin' around and noticed…"

'A total lack of animals?' Tails finished for him.

"Yeah. You noticed it too?" Sonic asked.

'Everyone has! It's been happening all week in New Vale. Me and Spidey managed to save a few, but there's still a number missing. I think Amy found a lead, though. How soon can you get here?' Tails asked his speedy friend.

Sonic smirked, "Tails. Really? You're asking ME that?"

'Well, I don't know how far away you-.' Before Tails could even finished, Sonic has already gone top speed back to New Vale City.

Central Park, New Vale City

"—are. Sonic? Hello?" Tails wondered what happened to Sonic after he just suddenly turned off his communicator. Right now, the two-tailed fox was hanging around Central Park with Peter, MJ, Amy, Knuckles, Team RWBY, and Team JNPR, the latter two in the middle of working on their history projects, though Ruby still has no idea what to write about.

Then to the great, startling surprise of his friends, Sonic suddenly appears between them, accidentally blowing the Beacon students' papers all over the grass or on their faces. "BOOM! Record time!" Sonic grinned with a pose, ignoring how much he pissed off some of his friends, mostly Weiss.

"Got bored exploring the world for the umpteenth time?" Peter joked with his favorite blue friend.

"As if. What'cha got for me, Amy?" Sonic asked as he walks up to Amy.

"Almost all the little animals have gone missing. We've been looking all week and only found a few. And an hour ago, I found this little guy." Amy shows Sonic the Mobini Picky animal that's currently clinging on Knuckles's face after Sonic scared him with his sudden arrival. "The poor thing is too scared to think clearly, but it DID tell me the others were being rounded up into the large 'metal eggs' that were carted off into the sky."

"That definitely sounds like Eggman." Ruby said.

"I think that's a safe bet. Don't worry, li'l guy. We'll find your friends." Sonic promised the little pig, rubbing its head while giving him a comforting wink. "Amy, see if you, MJ, Team RWBY, and Team JNPR can round up any more animals and keep an eye on 'em." He ordered some of his friends.

"Sure thing!" Amy winked, giving a peace sign.

"You can count on us!" Jaune said, giving a thumbs-up.

"You mind sticking around and providing some protection, Knux?" Sonic asked the red brawler.

"You can count on me." Knuckles smiled, giving his blue buddy a bro-fist.

"And Tails, you, Peter, and Ruby come with me. You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" Sonic asked three of his best pals.

"Sure. What is it exactly?" Ruby asked, confused.

"You bet! If Eggman is air-lifting the captured animals, the best place to spot him is from the air!" Tails responded.

"Sounds like a great idea. Let me get into costume and we're off!" Peter smiled.

"Alright, my friends! Here we GO!" Sonic grinned, looking forward to stop another of Eggman's plans as he senses another grand adventure for him, Tails, Spider-Man, and Ruby.

BGM End

KFX Here: Nice first chapter, right? We see the gang reunited and having fun conversations, seemingly used to living in the new world. No universal-ending threat. Just simple stuff like stopping gangs and Eggman. A good breather story after the more intense, serious-focus Exo War, and with a much smaller cast. Spider-Man, Sonic, Tails, and Ruby are the main heroes for this adventure. Look forward to it.

A little note for those curious: Neo's current attire is her "Volume 6" costume, that includes the black bowler hat like Torchwick's.

The Spider-Mobile now has the ability to transform into a Plane or a Boat, just like the cars from "Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed".

Nexus240: I don't really have any plans to create a sub team of D-Avengers. The D-Avengers are already a sub team of the Avengers. I like to keep Miles Morales as an alternate dimension Spider-Man for now. No mobian Avatar character. And despite introducing Oscar Pine in the last story, I don't have any current plans for him as his cameo in Exo War was just to say he exists in this universe.

Question of the Chapter: A simple on. What was your favorite part of this issue?
