Vol 2 Issue 1: Finals and Family

In some sort of black void, you can see billions upon billions of portals, each representing a different dimension. This is the multiverse, infinite worlds that are either very similar or entirely different from one another. And in the center of the multiverse is one dimension that is considered to be the prime universe of the entire multiverse. That dimension is Earth 616, home of the Marvel Heroes, and next to it is the world of Remnant, home of the Huntsmen and Huntresses.

"We are born of multiple universes…" A voice says in this black void. "Each of them imperfect, each AFFLICTED with the cancer of war, violence, and hatred. The people of the multiverse needs someone to rule over them, someone to CONTROL them of their actions so we can finally achieve peace. From their ruins, a new multiverse shall be forged, in the fire of the power of the ISO-8 and the OZ Formula. All life remade in my image, as goblins, free from the sins of imperfection." Suddenly, a hand appeared as he holds all of the dimensions in his palm. Then, you can see the smiling face of the Green Goblin from out of the shadows. "I am the Goblin King. I…am your God." He finished, crushing the multiverse in his hand as he begins to laugh.

An Island far from the Kingdom of Vale

BGM- Marvel vs Capcom 3 OST- Theme of Akuma

It wasn't long ago when Akuma arrived in Remnant to help the Green Goblin, who is currently not wearing his cloak by the way, unlock his Aura. The two decided to immediately start training so that Goblin can finally achieve his ultimate power.

"Are you ready, Goblin?" Akuma asked the Goblin King as he stands a few feet across from him on the island.

"Hehe, I was born ready." Goblin replied with a grin.

"Hmph. Alright." Akuma said with no emotion while crossing his arms, as he is dead serious in training Goblin. "Since your Aura is similar to the Satsui no Hado, the requirements to tap into that power should be simple: First, you must be consumed with the desire for victory and complete perfection. Second, you must be close to death."

"Does actually dying and coming back to life count?" Goblin asked him since he is immortal, but he did die before when he impaled himself with his own glider months ago back on Earth.

"Possibly." Akuma simply answered him before continuing his explanation on how to unlock Goblin's Aura. "And finally, third, you must have intense rage and hatred in your heart. Have the desire to kill your enemies without hesitation. With that, you should be able to unlock that power of yours." He finished explaining.

"That's it? I was expecting more 'challenging' requirements." Goblin said.

"The most challenging requirement is that if you are willing to sacrifice your humanity to have complete control of your power." Akuma told him. "So, Goblin, do you want to destroy whatever is left of your humanity for ultimate power?" He asked the King.

Goblin starts laughing at that stupid question before settling down. "Heh, I have LONG abandoned my humanity the moment I lost everything in my life! Now, let's get started, shall we?" Goblin asked his master as he gets into fighting position.

"Fine…" Akuma unfolds his arms as his body glows red with the Satsui no Hado. He puts one foot forward as he gets ready to fight. "Now let us begin your training!" He declared.

"Hehehe…" Goblin laughs as his body starts to glow a fiery, orange color. "Let's go." The two have a stand, with both of their auras glowing around them as they have a little stand off before they start clashing fists.

Three Weeks Later…At the City of Vale

Peter and Yang are walking out of the movie theater and into the peaceful, quiet night of Vale, ending their first, official date.

"Man, was that a great movie or what?" Yang happily asked him, as the two head towards Yang's motorcycle.

"Yeah, it was!" Peter replied to her. "Just wished we had more popcorn though."

"Sorry, my bad." Yang said embarrassed while scratching her hair. She stops as she turns to Peter. "I'm really glad we were able to do this, Peter." She said to him with a smile.

"Well thankfully, nothing major has been happening in the city lately, so we could finally kick back and relax." Peter said as he puts his hands behind his head.

"I'm just happy to see that you are feeling better now that you don't have those random black outs anymore." Yang said, remembering what she was told about Peter's DNA evolving. "So, do you feel any different, like have you unlocked your Aura yet?" She asked him.

Peter shakes his head." Nuh-uh. I still haven't unlocked the thing. Even after all the training I've been going through with Pyrrha, that blasted Aura still hasn't appeared yet. But, at the very least, I do feel much stronger, more durable, much faster, better agility and reflexes."

"I doubt you are stronger than me, though." Yang said to him.

"Maybe because I always hold back when I fight my battles compared to you." Peter said to himself in his mind, since he is easily stronger than Yang, just always hold back when it comes to his fights.

The two arrive at Yang's motorcycle, where Yang hops on and puts on her helmet. "You coming?" She asked Peter.

"I'll catch up. I have some other things to take care of." Peter replied.

"Okay, just remember we should start studying tomorrow for finals, then we could go onto Winter Break." Yang reminded him.

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I promise to help tutor you and Ruby the first chance we get tomorrow." Peter said.

"Thanks, Pete. You really are a life saver when it comes to our tests." Yang said with a smile as she turns on her engine. "See ya!" She waved as she rides off back to Beacon.

"Bye!" Peter waved back as he sees her off.

"Yeeeehaaaaawwww!" Spidey swings through the quiet, peaceful city as he enjoys himself. "Man, this is just the life!" He said to himself as he hops off his web and runs across a wall before web swinging again. "Man, have my life ever been so perfect!" He said to himself. "Ever since me and the girls beaten the U-Foes three weeks ago, things have just been going my way." He said as he performs some parkour on some rooftops. "Since then, there have been barely any White Fang attacks recently, and when there is one, it usually takes me a second to put them down and swing off back to Beacon. I can finally get to class on time, help train with Jaune and Pyrrha, and actually get to go out on dates with Yang."

He lands onto another rooftop and stands up to see the beautiful city around him. "I think, after all this time, I might've finally found the girl that is right for me: one who likes me for who I am, one that could surely protect herself when she's in danger, and one that actually make as many bad jokes as me." He lies down onto the rooftop as he gazes at the stars. "But still, I wonder if she feels the same way to me as I do to her. I mean, I know she has a crush on me, but is there more to that, I wonder? Does she, I don't know, love me?" He asked himself as he continues to stare at the stars above. "There's just something more about her that I just couldn't place my finger on, something that truly makes us similar to one another, but what?" He again asked himself as he places a finger over his mouth.

'Are you sure it's not your awful sense of humor.' A voice said to him.

Peter immediately gets up from the ground. "Who said that?" He asked until he finds himself surrounded by a purple fog. "Oh no, please not this old crone again!" He said as he teleports to Madame Web's realm.

"Old crone, am I?" Madame Web said as the Spider enters her world.

"Ah great, what do you want now, Madame Web? Can't you see I'm just basking in the moment." Spider-Man told her.

"I wanted to show you something, something that you might want to know." Web said to him.

"What, like how you get your fortunes from fortune cookies?" Spidey joked.

"You are almost correct, young Spider." Web replied.

"Wait, really?" He said, surprised that he was somewhat right about her.

"Behold…" Madame Web's chair of webs start to glow, as images of multiple Spider-Men and Spider-Women start showing up on the web.

"Whoa…" Spider-Man looked at it in amazement. "What is this…"

"This is the Web of Life and Destiny." Madame Web told him. "This allows me to see multiple realities, each with a different Spider. This also allows me to see into the future as well."

"Incredible…" Spidey said, still amazed at what he his seeing. He then spots something in one of the images of a different type of Spider-Man. "Is that a cartoon pig?" He asked while pointing at the image of Spider-Ham.

"Yes, Spider-Man. How very observant you are?" Web said sarcastically.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Spidey said as he takes another look at the Great Web and sees something that catches his eye, a blue, running hedgehog. "Wait a minute?! Is that Sonic?!" He asked, surprised that Sonic's world is too connected in the Great Web.

"Ah yes, it is." Web answered him. "You see, Peter, out of every Spider-Man in the multiverse, YOU are in the center of it, and your presence in other worlds that aren't connected in the Great Web are then connected with a new strand. Your time at Mobius, and your relationship with the people there, created this new strand, allowing me to see what fate has in store for Sonic and his friends."

"Does the same thing apply to here in Remnant?" Spidey asked her.

"Of course. There is already a strand that connects this world to the Great Web, but it is still weak, not fully woven yet." Web explained to him.

"Why is that exactly?" Spider-Man asked her.

"It might be because of your relationship with the people here, most notably your teammates in Team RWBYP." Web answered him. "Have you told them about your secret identity yet?"

Spidey lowers his head to the floor in shame. "No, I haven't."

"Why is that, exactly? Weren't you planning on telling them soon?" Web asked him.

"Well, for starters, that Professor that apparently works for the White Fang and knows so much about me." Spider-Man confessed. "He's been on my mind for weeks. I just wished I know who is he?"

"Hmm, makes sense. And what is the second reason?" Web asked.

Peter rubs his head as he tries to think of an answer. "I just don't know how to properly tell them, ya know. I can't just walk up to them and say 'Hey girls, I'm Spider-Man. Not only that, I'm also from another dimension as well.' It would be really awkward when I say it out of the blue."

"But aren't you always awkward?" Web asked him.

"No…sometimes." Peter replied before sighing. "I just feel like, the moment they know my secret identity, their lives might become even more dangerous than it already is. I don't want to go through the same, painful experience like with Gwen and Harry."

"You really need to stop being so obsessed with what happened in your past, Peter, or else you may never move forward in life. Don't let it take over you completely. Learn, like your Yang friend." Web told him.

"What about Yang?" Spidey asked her, curious on what she knows about his friend.

"As you might already know, you two are a lot similar than you think, especially when it comes to family." Web started explaining to Peter. "You both have lost important people in your lives that drives you to do the things you do today. In your case, Peter, you use your power to help people so they won't have to deal with the same loss you've experienced like you did with your uncle. With Yang, she lost someone in her family that she is desperately trying to find but to no avail, which almost ended her life at one point. It's because of that is probably the reason why you two go so well with each other. I'm sure Yang, deep down in her heart, knows what you might be going through, and I know the two of you can learn from one another, you just got to open up to and the rest of the team about your secret and your past."

"I'm still not sure if I should tell them my secret yet." Peter said, still fearing for what might happens when he tells them he's Spider-Man.

"At the very least tell them something about your past. You can't keep all the pain alone in your heart. Try to talk to your friends about it and they might understand and help you." Web told him as Spider-Man is surrounded by purple fog. "Remember, you can't do everything on your own, Peter. Try opening up more, and you would be surprised on how far your friends will go for you…" She finished as Peter finds himself back on the same rooftop he was before.

"I'll try, but still…" Spidey lowered his head. He then shakes his head to stop thinking about it. "I can deal with this later. Right now, I have a Final to study for." He said as he attaches a web line to a building and starts swinging off back to Beacon.

The Next Morning at Beacon

Peter is in the library with Yang and Ruby to help them get ready for their Final at the end of the week.

"Alright, let's get started!" Peter said as he sits down across the table from Yang and Ruby. "With my amazing brain and intellect, helping you guys pass the Final would be a cinch."

"Alright! I might actually get straight A's on my report card for once." Yang said with a fist pump in the air.

"Same here!" Ruby said, giving her big sister a high five. She then turns to Peter. "Oh, I just remembered something." She said.

"Remembered what?" Peter asked her curious.

"I just remembered that a few other people are going to study with us for the final." Ruby told him.

"Like who?" Peter asked her.

"Just a few more of our friends, that's all." Yang answered him.

"Heh, like who, Weiss? I'm pretty sure she is smart enough to study on her own." Peter said with a chuckle before he feels a book hit his head.

"Ha Ha. Very funny." Peter turned around his chair to see Weiss and Blake behind him.

"Weiss? And Blake? What are you two doing here?" Peter asked them, wondering why the other two smart members of Team RWBYP are coming to his little study group.

"We're here to study with you guys, well more like you help tutor us." Blake answered with her books in hand.

"Wait, me tutor you. Is this some kind of joke?" Peter asked her.

"Of course not!" Weiss exclaimed annoyed. "Compared to Professor Port and Professor Oobleck, we can actually understand what you are saying that actually makes sense. You don't go into random tangents about your past, or you are lecturing from across the back of the room and zoom to the front of the room."

"You really have a hard time following Port and Oobleck, huh?" Peter asked her.

"Yes, that's why you're going to help us." Weiss told him as both she and Blake sit down on the table.

"Well this shouldn't be too hard tutoring you four. Alright, let's get this started." Peter said. Just as he was about to sit down, he hears a voice close to him.

"Wait, hold on!" Peter turns around to see Jaune and the rest of his team making their way to Peter's study group.

"Jaune?" Peter said surprised.

"Hey, Pete." Jaune greeted him. "Mind if we join your little tutoring group?" He asked the hidden hero.

"Wait a minute! You guys need tutoring too?" Peter asked them.

"Well, you are the smartest kid in the school that understands everything." Pyrrha told him. "No offense, Weiss."

"None taken." Weiss replied.

"Ah great…" Peter scratched his head, not knowing how to process all of this. "Who else is joining?"

"Hello, Peter." Peter turned around again to see Velvet and her team, Team CFVY, which consists of Coco Adel, Fox Alistair, and Yatsuhashi Daichi.

"Let me guess: You guys are here to be tutored?" Peter asked with little enthusiasm, clearly getting tired of these surprises.

"Yup." Coco simply replied.

Peter puts his hand on his face and shakes his head. "Please tell me that's all of you?" He asked until he feels someone's hand on his shoulder. He turns around to see Cardin and his team behind him, with books in their hands.

"Hope you don't mind if you help us study, despite what happened between us before." Cardin said to him, letting bygones be bygones.

"So you all need tutoring from me?" Peter asked his fellow classmates.

"Yes!" They all replied.

Peter lets out a sigh, not knowing what to do anymore. "We're gonna need a new study room."

Ozpin and Glynda are currently walking through the hallways of Beacon, talking about what Qrow texted them a few weeks ago.

"A Demon King?" Glynda thinks to herself as she and Ozpin walk past the classrooms. "Who could it be?"

"We're not entirely sure. This is a brand new enemy we never heard of." Ozpin said while holding onto his coffee mug.

"The fact that this 'King' knows about us and is apparently more dangerous than Salem herself…" Glynda said. "Could he have been behind the recent attacks in our world for the past few months?" She wonders to herself.

"Qrow seems to believe so. Just wished we knew who we are up against." Ozpin said.

"Should we ask Mr. Parker?" Glynda suggested. "I have a strange feeling that he might be connected to this in some way."

As the two continue walking through the hallway, they stop in front a classroom, where they see Peter, in front of the classroom, tutoring Team RWBYP, Team JNPR, Team CFVY, and Team CRDL for their final exams.

"Let's not bother him now. He seems busy enough already." Ozpin said with a smile, looking through the door window watching Peter write down notes on the board, with his friends writing the notes in their notebooks.

"As you wish." Glynda said before the two continue walking down the hallway.

One Week Later

All the teams walk out of the Professor Port's classroom, with their exams done and graded, which brings a smile to all their faces.

"I can't believe it! I passed!" Ruby shouted with a fist bump in the air.

"Me too. Got all A's on all my finals." Yang said, clearly happy with her results.

"For once, I actually got good grades! This is amazing!" Jaune said, since this is probably the first time he got straight A's on any test.

"I think we all know who we should thank for this." Pyrrha said with a smile, as all the teams look at Peter.

"Who? Me?" Peter points to himself.

"Of course!" Velvet answered. "It's because of you, we all passed!"

"You really are amazing you know that, Parker." Cardin said to him with a smile.

"Hey, I shouldn't take all the credit. You guys deserve some of the praise too." Peter said, since all he did was tutor them.

"Must you always be so modest?" Weiss asked him.

"Yeah, I guess so." Peter replied while scratching his head.

"Well, whatever. Let's give on to Peter, guys!" Yang shouted as they all clap their hands for Peter, while the boy just nervously laughs from the applause.

"So, what are you guys going to do for Winter break?" Ruby asked the rest of her team as they make their way back to their dorm room.

"I think me and Blake are going to stay here for the next two weeks." Weiss answered her question. "What about you and Yang?" She asked them.

"Me and Ruby are going to head back to Patch and stay with our father for the break." Yang answered her.

"Yeah, I can't wait to meet with dad again!" Ruby said as she is excited to meet with her father after so long.

"Mm-Hmm." Yang nodded as she turns her head to Peter in the back. "What about you, Peter?"

"Huh?" He said since he wasn't paying much attention to their conversation.

"What do you have plan for Winter Break?" Yang asked him.

"I…" Peter started, scratching his head to think of something, but nothing comes up as he just sadly sighed. "I don't know." He frowned as he lowers his head to the ground.

The team stopped walking to see what is wrong with Peter. "How come?" Yang asked him. "Do you have plans on seeing your family after so long?"

Peter stood there in silence, not wanting to answer her question. "Peter, what's wrong?" Blake asked him, concerned for her friend.

"Do you WANT to see your family again?" Ruby asked him worried.

Peter stood there silent for a few seconds before he finally answers her. "That's the thing…" He looks out to window right next to them. "I…don't really have a family to go back to."

The girls' eyes all widen from his shocking answer. "W-What do you mean by that?" Weiss asked him, worried for him.

"You don't mean…they're dead…" Yang said sadly.

Peter slightly turned his head to her with a slow nod, causing Yang to gasp and cover her mouth with her hands. "Peter…" Ruby started talking to him, concerned for him. "What happened? Like, what happened to your parents?"

Peter turned his head back to the window before sighing again, remembering his about his past. "When I was just a baby, my parents died in a plane crash, so I don't exactly remember much about them, or what they looked." He started explaining his past, causing all the girls to gasp from that sudden reveal, mostly Yang since something similar happened in her past as well. "Since then, I've been living with my uncle and aunt at their place. I even came to see them as my own father and mother. We were living a good life, whenever I was sad, those two would always be there for me when I needed them the most. They were my entire world, they meant everything to me. That is…until the accident." He said as he lowered his head.

"What accident?" Blake asked him.

"Was it…your uncle?" Weiss asked him, since she was already informed by Peter about what happened to his uncle.

"Yeah…" Peter nod his head but still doesn't turn around to face his friends. "Two years ago, my uncle was shot and killed by a burglar that was trying to break into our home. My own Uncle Ben…" He said before clenching his fist in anger. "It was my fault that he was killed." He said without raising his voice. "I could've easily stopped the burglar when I had the chance. He was right there next to me when he was robbing a studio a few days before the accident, but I was too arrogant and selfish not to stop him, and because of that, my uncle paid the price."

The girls were completely speechless to what they are hearing. They feel so bad for what Peter has been going through that tears falling from their eyes without their notice. "So…what happened between you and your Aunt?" Ruby asked him.

Peter sighed but decided to tell them the story. "After my uncle died, me and my Aunt were struggling on our own, having trouble to pay for the bills. I did everything I could to help her out, and for a while, we were able to survive and be happy, but as if faith were to have it, it didn't last long. A few months ago, before I got accepted into Beacon, my Aunt May was kidnapped."

The girls gasped again in shock. "Do you know who kidnapped your Aunt?" Blake asked him.

Peter again sighed, not wanting to reveal the name of the kidnapper, but he feels like he might as well, since he thinks the man is dead. "Yeah…. The person that kidnapped my Aunt May was a cruel and sick man named Norman Osborn." He answered her, completely shocking the girls again by that reveal.

"Norman Osborn?" Weiss said shocked. "You mean your best friend's dad? THAT Norman Osborn?" She asked him to be clear, with Peter nodding that she is right. "But…why? Why did he kidnap your Aunt? Does he have some sort of grudge against you?" She asked him.

"I'm not sure." Peter lied because that would mean that he should reveal his secret identity. "Osborn was a cruel, power-obsessed businessman that apparently hates everyone he doesn't like, which is pretty much everyone. If I was honest, he's more corrupt than your father." Peter told Weiss.

"I can believe that. Not even my father is that cruel to kidnap someone just cause." Weiss said.

"So, what happened to your Aunt? Did you ever find her?" Ruby asked him.

"Osborn said that if I beat him in a fight, he would release my Aunt somewhere I don't know where, because during the fight there was an explosion that knocked me to a forest near Vale." Peter answered her. "I've been trying my best to find out where my Aunt May is, but nothing has come up, but I know she's still out there, somewhere. I just have to have faith." Peter said as he turns around to face his team. "It's part of the reason why I want to become a Huntsman, so I can help people wherever I see them, so that way they won't have to suffer the same pain I've been through."

"Oh Peter…" Weiss said, feeling really awful for him.

"To think, you've been through so much in such a short amount of time." Blake said.

"Is there anything you want us to do to help? I mean, you can't just stay here for the entire winter break when you have no family." Ruby asked him.

"I think I might have a solution." Yang finally spoke up, after being oddly quiet during Peter's confession. "How about you come stay with me and Ruby back at our place for the next two weeks?" She offered him.

"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea." Ruby said, now sounding a bit happier.

"Are…are you sure?" Peter asked, unsure if he should do what she's offering.

"Peter…" Yang walks up to him and gives him a hug, with tears starting to come out of her eyes. "You're one of our best friends. It just hurts us to see you in so much pain, no matter how much you try to hide it. Please just do one thing, for me." She said as she lets go of the hug.

"Well, since you asked so nicely, and the fact that you didn't crush me this time, sure, I'll accept your offer." Peter agreed to her offer with a smile on his face, making everyone smile in happiness.

"Oh, thank you!" Yang said happily as she gives Peter another hug, which starts to crush him again.

"Oh…not again!" Peter said while being crushed by Yang's strength.

"Yeah! This is gonna be so awesome, I just know it!" Ruby said, excited that the friend she considers a brother is coming home with her.
