BGM-Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds OST-Theme of Spider-Man

Spider-Man: Watch out! Here comes the Spider-Man! Couldn't resist, but I've entered a relationship with Yang, right after we stopped a Rhino robot from trashing the city. We noticed there was a strange message painted on his foot written "Missing you". Do I know what that means? Do I WANT to know what that means? All of a sudden, I'm feeling sick to my stomach. The Goblin King…It can't possibly be…?

Vol 2 Issue 4: The Fated Reunion

City of Vale

A ship flies through the skies over Vale while the owner of the Dust shop, "From Dust Till Dawn", is hanging a sign declaring it's re-opening following the recent robbery months ago. As he climbs down from his ladder, he stumbles and falls next to a young, green-haired woman named Emerald Sustrai.

She giggles, "'Scuse me, sorry. I'm not really from around here." Emerald helps him to his feet, "Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?" She shows him a piece of paper with writing on it and the shopkeep looks it over.

"Hmm? Mm-hmm." The Shopkeep points her in the right direction, as she walks away while they both wave goodbye.

Emerald passes by her partner Mercury Black, who's leaning at a corner with his arms crossed, "I knew you were lost." He snarks at her.

"Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up." Emerald shows him a wallet with Lien and waves it in his face.

"That's not your money." He remarks to the thief.

"But it can be yours for 5 minutes of silence." Emerald grins.

Mercury thinks about it for a moment, "Mmmm…no deal." He quips, angering his thieving partner.

"Fine." Emerald takes the Lien and tosses the wallet, turning to walk away from him.

"Whatever. You want me." Mercury jokes, as the mystery duo walk through the city searching for a certain place while passing by a café where people sit chatting. "So, how much farther?" He asks impatiently.

"A few blocks." Emerald answered.

"Ugh…this place is so dull. Where are those supervillains that spider-guy keeps fighting? They usually liven things up." Mercury groans, finding the city boring without a villain threatening it.

Emerald remarks, "Eh, I kinda like it how it is. Tall buildings, diverse culture…"

"And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket." Mercury quips, causing her to stop.

"That's every city." She remarked.

"Ooh, Emerald! Master thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!" Mercury mockingly acts as one of Emerald's victims, causing her to glare at him, groaning angrily before walking away from him, "Ugh…you're no fun today."

Mercury follows behind her, as they enter a shop full of books. The shop owner can be heard humming a tune. Mercury stops near the door to look at books while Emerald approaches the counter and rings a service bell. "Be right there!" The owner shouts from the back.

Emerald looks back at Mercury, as the shop owner is seen through a set of double doors carrying stacks of books as he walks backwards and out toward the counter, "Welcome to 'Tukson's Book Trade', home to every book under the sun." Het sets the stacks down while asking, "How may I…" As he turns around, he gasps and hesitates upon recognizing the two of them. Mercury is now holding a book as the owner keeps his cool and asks them, "How may I help you?"

"Just browsing." Mercury responds, staring at Tukson while shutting his book.

"Actually, I was wondering, do you have any copies of 'The Thief and The Butcher'?" Emerald asks the shop owner.

"Yes we do." He answered.

"That's great." She responds excitedly.

"Would you…like a copy?" Tukson asks, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"No, just wondering." Emerald replies, while her partner closes another book. "Oh, oh! What about 'Violet's Garden'? In paperback?"

"He's got it. Hardback too." Mercury answers, holding the book.

"Ooh, options are nice." Emerald remarks with a smile.

"Eh, no pictures." Mercury closes the book. "Hey! Do you have any comics?" He asks the owner.

"Near the front." Tukson answered.

"Oh, no, wait! What…about…'Third Crusade'?" Emerald asked him with a suspicious grin while glaring at him.

BGM-RWBY OST-Best Day Ever

Tukson hesitates, visibly unnerved while the suspicious duo is eyeing him carefully, "Um…I…don't believe we carry that one."

Suddenly, Mercury slams another book shut, "Oh."

"What was this place called again?" Emerald asks the shop owner.

"Tukson's Book Trade." Tukson answered.

"And you're Tukson?" Emerald questions him.

"That's right."

"So then I take it that you're the one that came up with the catchphrase?"

"Yes."

"And, what was it again?" Mercury enters the interrogation.

"'Tukson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun'." Tukson quotes his own catchphrase.

"Except the Third Crusade." Mercury remarked.

"It's just a catchphrase." Tukson protested.

"It's false advertising!" Mercury retorted.

"You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep, Tukson." Emerald glares menacingly at him, while her partner activates a switch near the entrance causing a front window to darken as she continues talking, "I hear that you're planning on leaving. Moving all the way to Vacuo." She says, as Mercury activates another switch and the window in the front door darkens, "Your brothers in the White Fang won't be happy to hear that." She says, while Mercury activates the final switch, darkening the last window as he smiles creepily at Tukson, "And neither are we…You know who we are, don't you?" She asks him.

"Yes." He responded.

"And you know why we're here?"

"Yes."

"So…are you going to fight back?"

"YES!" Tukson produces claws from his fingers, leaping atop his counter in a threatening manner, "Yaargh!" Mercury and Emerald back up slightly and he leaps at Emerald and slashes at her, but she dodges. He looks forward and is surprised at Mercury as he raises one leg for a kick with his shotgun-greaves.

The murderous duo exits the book shop after killing its owner, as Emerald stretches her arms overhead and Mercury is carrying a comic. She asks him, "What's with that?"

Mercury responds, "I like the pictures."


Meanwhile at Beacon Academy…

Team RWBY and Team JNPR are sitting together in the school's cafeteria eating lunch without Peter, because of his hidden responsibilities. Blake looks over some sketches and notes on her book, which includes the White Fang insignia, a picture of a hornheaded masked swordsman, his rose, and a few sketches of Spider-Man as well. She smiles at the Spidey sketches because of her crush on the webhead, but was interrupted when Yang slides up next to her.

"Whatcha doing?" She asks the cat faunus.

"Nothing." Blake closes her book. "Just going over notes from last semester." She claims while Yang catches a grape in her mouth.

"Lame." Yang quipped.

Nora giggles as she continues to toss grapes at yang with her spoon. Yang catches the fruit with ease, giving Nora the thumbs up. Ruby, giving an enormous heave, slams a binder onto the table, catching everyone off guard. On the cover of the binder is written "Vytal Festival Activities, Property of Weiss Schnee". This has been hastily crossed out with a red marker pen, and with the same pen, a new title, "Best Day Ever Activities", has been written underneath.

The scarlet leader clears her throat, gesturing to everyone at the table, "Sisters…friends…Weiss."

"Hey!"

"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream." Ruby said.

"This ought to be good." Yang remarks, catching another berry in her mouth.

"A dream that one day, the five of us will come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had... ever!" Ruby says with excited glee.

"Did you steal my binder?" Weiss accused, glaring at her partner.

"I am not a crook." Ruby claims, making peace signs with both hands.

"What are you talking about?" Blake questions her leader.

"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!" Ruby points her finger at the faunus.

"I always kick my semesters off with a Yang! Eh? Guys? Am I right?" Yang punned, which none of her friends found funny at all. "I'm sure Pete would've laughed." She claims.

"I'm sure your boyfriend would've groan." Ruby teases her sister, who has recently started a romantic relationship with Peter.

"You two are dating?" Blake asks her partner, feeling disheartened since she also has romantic feelings for the outworldly hero.

"Not yet. We're just yanging it for now. Eh? Eh?" Yang quips, as an apple hits her in the face for that bad pun causing her to glare at Nora.

"Booooooooooooooo!" Nora hollered.

"Look guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But, classes start back up tomorrow! Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today." Ruby told her teammates.

"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store." Weiss remarks with a worried expression.

Still glaring, Yang picks up an apple and tosses it across the room, accidently hitting a boy that shouts "Hey!" while Nora giggles.

"I don't know. I think I might sit this one out. Besides, Peter isn't here." Blake said, not exactly in the mood to hang out with her friends today.

"Then let's go find that little rascal!" Weiss retorted. "He's been disappearing and reappearing since the first semester doing who-knows-what solo and it's starting to get annoying! Sit out or not, I think that however we spend this last day, we should do it as a team!" She expressed.

"I got it!" Nora shouts positively while planning something devious towards Yang.

"I for one think that…" Weiss is suddenly interrupted by Nora accidently throwing a pie at her face. The hyperactive girl sits down and casually points at Ren who has his head in his palm. Pyrrha's hand is over her mouth and Jaune simply sits staring wide-eyed while covering his ear with his palm.

Back in Vale…

BGM-Spider-Man 2 (Game) OST-Ballad in the City

Spider-Man runs along the wall of a tall building, leaping to bounce off buildings to enjoy himself as he zips atop an edge of a rooftop to gaze over the city. He whistles, "Great! I'm feelin' good! I'm in a new relationship with Yang and the city is already healed from Rhino's rampage. Maybe my luck's finally changing."

Suddenly, he looks down to see several police cars frantically driving down the streets to an unknown destination. He jumps down to the sidewalk and quips, "I was waiting for the universe to prove me wrong. What's going on?" He asked, launching a webline to swing on as he follows the police cars to a crime scene.

BGM End

BGM-Sonic Adventure OST-Strain

The police have pursued this newest supervillain to the architecture district as it's rampaging through the area and stealing money. It appears to be a mutated monkey Faunus looking very Hulk-like in physique, sporting greenish-grey skin and wearing nothing but ripped brown pants. The monster monkey jumps off a building as it stomps on a truck as the police rush out of their cars and point their weapons at the mutant. "You are surrounded. Calmly surrender!" The police demanded.

"The Simian does NOT surrender! He KILLS!" The Simian Sentry jumps off the truck confronting the police with a menacing growl.

"Never mind. Fire!" The police unload all of their bullets at the roaring mutant, but the creature's durability is insane as he withstands their bullets and watches them bounce off him harmlessly. The only thing the police accomplished was making the creature angry, and they know they are toast if he's angry, "Wh-What is that thing…?! R-Retreat! Retreeeeeeat!" A cop shouts, as the police army flees the scene.

"Ummm…" Spidey swings into the scene, clinging onto a wall above the mutated monkey, "I don't suppose you're a nice crazed monkey? You know, like from some zoo crew or something? Maybe a guy in a suit?" He quips to the criminal.

"The Simian will stomp you, like a bug!" He lunges with a powerful punch that craters the wall as the webhead easily jumps over his attack.

"Um, technically I'm an arachnid, so you know, crush me like an arachnid." Spidey quips, clinging onto another wall above the mutant.

The Simian makes monkey noises as he retorts, "Coward! Stop jumping around and FIGHT ME!" He craters the other wall just as Spidey jumps over him again.

"Well, that's sweet, but I think maybe you should be battling Zoo Keeper Man or something. You know, the guy with the big net? But if you want to fight me, you got it!" Spidey lands behind the new menace, ready to pummel him into submission.

BGM End

BGM-Spider-Man: Battle for New York (DS) OST-Boss Theme 2 (Spider-Man)

Spider-Man quickly punches the monkey's face before leaping backwards to smash him into a building with a blitzing web strike. "Eww! Someone needs a wash!" He quips, mocking his smell.

"Will peel you, like banana!" Simian grabs some of the large debris inside the shop and furiously hurls it at Spidey.

"You wouldn't happen to be Sun's unwanted brother, are you?" Spidey dodges his projectiles before he was brutally smashed onto a police car. The monkey menace tries punching him again, only for the webhead to jump away. "Don't have any bananas. A web salad might be a suitable appetizer." He quips, webbing the beast long enough to get smacked around by his strong web hammer.

"Ooh ooh!" The monkey sentry makes monkey noises as it tears a nearby police car in half and uses it as improvised boxing gloves, "RRAAAAAAH! The Simian will smash you!"

"You're not green enough to coin that catchphrase." Spidey quips, dodging his furious knuckledusters until he finds an opening for a powerful web strike to the chest, then bounces off into the air. The crazed monkey throws his boxing gloves at him one at a time, in which Spidey bounces off one and throws down the other with his webbing, "Monkey say, Spidey do!" He jokes while smashing the monster with the piece of the car.

Seeing the sentry dazed and weakened, Spidey decides to finish him off with a hyper combo. "Ultimate! Web-!" He fires a giant triangular web that ensnares the monkey, "Gotcha!" swinging him around in overhead circles several times before, "THROW!" slamming him into the ground, forming a sizable crater in the process.

BGM End

BGM-Mega Man X8 OST-VS Sigma Demo

Just as Spidey lands at the edge of the crater, he notices something strange happening to the Simian Sentry. His body is slowly turning back to normal, regressing back to a normal, monkey Faunus criminal lying in the crater unconscious while only wearing his ripped pants. "What the-? He's…He's a normal guy? Oh come on, does anybody not have superpowers these days? Jeeesh…" Spidey quipped.

Police sirens can be heard from a mile away, rushing to the crime scene as the battle is now over. "The police? Great. That's my cue to swing on out of here…" Spidey swings away before the police arrive and would potentially arrest him.

A short while later, the webslinger hides on a rooftop while watching the police take the non-powered simian into custody and investigating the crime scene. "First a guy in the robot rhino suit, and now a mutated monkey man? This city really is becoming a zoo, and I have no idea why? Or do I?" Spidey contemplates today's fight, until his Spider-Sense suddenly tingles to some fireballs he quickly jumps away. "Fireballs?! Where did those-?!" He again senses fireballs that are hurled at his back, blasting him onto another rooftop.

As Spidey slowly stands through the pain, he hears a very familiar and very daunting voice that frighteningly surprises ever bone in his body, greeting him by saying, "Peter Parker! How the HELL are you?"

"That voice…!" Spidey flips onto his feet as he shockingly finds himself confronted by the purple-cloaked Green Goblin looming over him.

"Long time no see, Spider-Man." Goblin greets his arch-enemy with a sadistic grin.

"No…It can't be…Norman Osborn?" Spidey stares at him in disbelief, as he didn't want to believe his arch-nemesis has also been in this dimension for months like him.

"You remember me. I'm flattered you haven't forgotten about the one man who has tormented your life into a living hell. How have you been liking Remnant so far after our little dimensional accident with your watch? Quite the inferior world compared to Earth, don't you agree?" Goblin asked.

"I didn't want to believe it, but you HAVE been hiding in this dimension." Spidey remarks, still in shock.

"Hiding?" Goblin sinisterly chuckles, "I suppose I HAVE been keeping myself occupied these past few months creating elemental monsters of destruction, plaguing an entire kingdom with a virus, building a rhino suit to say hello, and getting your attention with my monkey pet. JUST so we can finally have our fated chat." He jokingly tells his nemesis everything he's been working on lately.

"Osborn…Not only you're the Goblin King I've been hearing about, but you're ALSO the Professor working with the White Fang?!" Spidey remarks, learning the truth from Osborn.

Goblin cackles, "Finally piecing the puzzle? You've always been an ignorant learner. Do they not teach you anything at Beacon?"

"What?!" Spidey reacts in surprise that his nemesis is also aware he attends Beacon Academy. He snarls angrily at him, "Goblin! What's your scheme this time?"

"Scheme? This is providence! I'm merely ushering evolution along its natural path." Goblin laughs.

"Evolution?" Spidey questioned.

"It begins now, Spider-Man. A new world will be born! When I'm done harnessing the ISO-8, I'm finally going to SHUT your mouth for good!" Goblin scowls, clenching tightly on his angry fist.

"Don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds like an evil scheme that needs a stoppin'." Spidey quipped.

"Playtime is OVER, webhead! The Goblin Nation will make sure of it!" Goblin laughs ominously as he spots his glider flying pass him, jumping onto it to flee the scene, but not before throwing a few fireballs that blast Peter off the rooftop and crash into an alleyway trash can.

Spidey groans weakly as he gets up from the trash can, "Goblin Nation…I can't believe this is happening. Osborn has been in this dimension for MONTHS, and only NOW I'm finding out he's here planning something big. And if really does have ISO-8, then nothing can stop him from taking over BOTH universes! My friends. This entire world. I've put them all in grave danger. This is all my fault…" He blames himself, feeling utterly responsible that Goblin is here and has the power to take over their universes.

BGM End


Meanwhile, outside Beacon's Cafeteria…

"Man, that's harsh," said Neptune Vasilias, the calm blue-haired member of Team SSSN, as he walks together with Sun learning about his fight against the Elementals a few weeks ago.

"I know, we were fighting side by side fighting those elemental monster things. She was super fast and I threw a banana at the guy, which sounds gross, but it was awesome." Sun said.

"Nice!" Neptune smiled.

"Right? And the best part is, she's a Faunus." Sun accidently reveals to his friend, "But that's a secret, okay?" He told his pal.

"Got it."

"And not a, 'I'm gonna go tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back secret', I'm talking secret secret." Sun leans in close in order to stress the importance of this secret.

"Whoa, chill out, man, okay? I got it." Neptune then whispers another, "I got it!"

"You better." Sun replies, unknowingly walking pass food splattering on the windows inside the cafeteria as students run around. At one point, even Jaune is the one splattered into the window. "I just don't want to screw this up, you know? The people here are the coolest! No offense to you guys." Sun says, oblivious to what's happening inside the dining hall.

"None taken." Neptune replied.

"They're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So be cool, okay? You're gonna be cool, right?" Sun said.

"Dude." Neptune poses coolly, smiling while his teeth gleam with coolness.

"Good point." Sun responded.

BGM-RWBY OST-Best Day Ever

The two friends enter the cafeteria just in time as students are heard screaming, "FOOD FIGHT!" Many students are shown stampeding out the door past Sun and Neptune, the latter of whom is looking quite worried.

"Ahahahaha!" Nora maniacally laughs, while Team JNPR are shown to be standing atop a tower of tables stacked in a ramshackle manner. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" Nora proclaims while singing.

From across the cafeteria, Ruby stomps her foot on a table and points dramatically at her rival team, "Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful!" She says, crushing a carton of milk in her hand, "It will be delicious!"

"Yeah!" The other girls of Team RWBY shouts while raising their fists simultaneously.

"Off with their heads!" Nora yells, declaring war as Team JNPR grabs a ridiculous number of watermelons and throws them at Team RWBY.

"Yang! Turkey!" Ruby orders, as Yang then picks up two turkeys from the ground and uses them like gloves to punch through the barrage of watermelons thrown off a table by Nora; upon completion, Blake then leaps in front of Yang and picks up two baguettes. Yang then throws her turkeys at Pyrrha, who dodges out of the way and grabs a single baguette, leaving Jaune to take the blows.

Pyrrha and Blake duel in a one-on-one fight. Despite Blake's attempt to disorient Pyrrha with her shadows, Pyrrha knocks her back and throws three more baguettes to Yang, with the last knocking her down as well.

Ruby uses a food tray to slide towards Pyrrha across the table and hits a baguette back at her with the same tray; Pyrrha manages to dodge the shot, but is unable to stop Ruby from knocking her backwards with the same food tray. Ren and Nora then charge at Ruby, but Weiss intercepts them and uses ketchup to cause Ren to slip and crash with a group tables which are launched because of the impact.

Nora jumps through these tables to grab a metal flag pole and attach a watermelon to it. She attacks Weiss but hits Ruby instead, who manages to stand between them to protect her partner from the assault; however, the force of this impact knocks her down. Weiss grabs a swordfish and engages Nora in a one-on-one, but ends up being defeated after Nora throws her against a pillar, knocking her down, and causing the pillar to break. Before the pieces crush Weiss, Ruby jumps in and saves her partner. "Weiss, Weiss! Don't leave me! NOOOOO!" Ruby shouts dramatically, cradling over her partner's apparent demise as the pillar collapses around them.

Yang grabs two more turkeys and duels Ren, who wields a pair of leeks. Ren is overwhelmed by Yang's reflexes and takes a lot of hits before being sent a few meters into the air by an uppercut. He recovers from the strikes and throws his leeks at Yang, but she manages to dodge them and proceeds to finish Ren by jumping high enough to punch him toward the floor, knocking him out. Nora intervenes immediately afterwards and sends Yang flying through the roof with her hammer but destroys the weapon in the process.

Blake gets back up to dodge the debris of the roof and grabs a link of sausages. She whips it at a disarmed Nora, throwing her against two soda machines. These leak some soda cans that Nora throws at Blake, who manages to dodge them all. Pyrrha then uses her Semblance of polarity on the puddle of soda, causing all the soda cans on it to rise after Blake, barraging her with soda.

Ruby, the last remaining member of RWBY, then uses her Semblance of speed to dash through the food court, causing everything to follow her through the tailwind caused by her overwhelming speed. She spins like a torpedo, creating a hurricane of food that come backs at JNPR, knocking all four members out.

"I love these guys." Sun says casually, though Neptune is less than pleased since their food fight got him drenched.

The doors behind them open and Glynda storms in angrily, using her telekinesis to re-organize the room. "Children, please." She says as she adjusts her glasses, "Do not play with your food!" She reprimands the students.

Nora burps aloud as both Team JNPR and Team RWBY try and fail to compose themselves. A screaming Yang then crashes from the ceiling into one of the tables. Glynda grumbles. Ozpin approaches and places a hand on her shoulder.

"Let it go." He told her.

Glynda sighs, "They're supposed to be the defenders of the world."

"And they will be, but right now they're still children." Ozpin says, while Team RWBY laugh together, "So why not let them play the part? After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever."

"And what of Mr. Parker?" Glynda asks, noticing the boy is nowhere to be seen.

"I'm afraid he has long lost the role to live a normal life." Ozpin says while walking away.

"I see…" Glynda frowns, feeling sorry for her outworldly student as she follows the headmaster.


At Torchwick's Warehouse…

In an old warehouse, the White Fang are moving crates as Emerald and Mercury enter to meet with Torchwick, who was busy looking at a map of Vale until he notices them. "Oh, look! She sent the kids again! This is turning out just like the divorce!" Roman approaches the two from behind and wraps his arms around them in a group hug.

Emerald obviously shivers in disgust, "Spare us the thought of you procreating." She says, as she and Mercury pull away from his grasp.

"That was a joke. And thisjust might tell me where you two have been all day." Roman takes out a piece of paper he secretly stole from Emerald during the hug.

"What?! Agh…" Emerald growls at him.

"I'm a professional, sweetheart. Pay attention, maybe you'll learn something." Torchwick holds up the paper asking, "Why do you have this address?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Emerald refuses to answer him.

"Yeah, I would. Now where have you been all day?" He asks them.

"Cleaning up your problems. One of them, at least." Mercury responded.

"I had that under control." Torchwick claimed.

"Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise." Mercury quipped.

Annoyed, Torchwick threatens him saying, "Listen, you little punk. If it were up to me, then I would take you and your little street rat friend here and..."

"Do what, Roman?"

Intimidatingly, Cinder appears on a platform above them alongside Norman Osborn. They step onto an automated lift, riding it down to their level. "I'd, uh…not kill them?" Roman laughs nervously.

"Cinder!" Emerald said excitedly to see her boss.

"Hey, old man." Mercury mockingly greets the outworldly criminal.

"Don't make me kill you, child." Osborn threatens the assassin with a menacingly glare.

"I thought I made it clear that you would eliminate the would-be runaway." Cinder said, as she and Osborn approaches the crime boss.

"I was going to…" Torchwick claims until Emerald interrupts.

"He was going to escape to Vacuo! Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat." She stated.

"I think he was some sort of cat, actually." Mercury quipped.

"What? Like a puma?"

"Yeah, there ya go."

"Quiet." Cinder calmly shuts up her associate with a glare. "Did I not specifically instruct you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale? Under no circumstances should we draw Spider-Man's attention during this delicate phase of our plan." She says, while Roman points a finger at the pair while laughing in agreement.

Emerald shamefully rubs her head, "I just thought…"

"Don't think…obey." Cinder orders them, while Torchwick uses his fingers to mime having a slit throat.

"Yes ma'am. It won't happen again." Emerald apologizes to her master.

"And you." Cinder turns to the chuckling crime boss, "Why wasn't this job done sooner?"

As Torchwick speaks, he points to his right, then to his left, then behind him, "Uh…? Eh…? Eh…? EHHHHH! Sorry if I've been busy stealing every speck of Dust in the kingdom!" He snarkly answered.

"You're an inspiration to every punk with a gun and a ski mask." Mercury quips, while his emerald partner laughs at the remark.

"Look around, kid. I've got this town running scared! Police camping out at every corner, Dust prices through the roof, and we're sitting pretty on an old warehouse with more Dust crystals, vials, and rounds than we know what to do with!" Torchwick retorted.

"Scared, Roman? Stop lying to yourself." Osborn calmly mocks him. "Thanks to Spider-Man, the city is seeing you and the White Fang as a joke. And we wouldn't have this much Dust if it wasn't for my ideas how to steal them under the Spider's radar." He said, making the crime boss furious.

"Well, if your Elementals actually destroyed the Bug, we wouldn't have to push ourselves like this! Not to mention there's that 'Goblin' person who stole your precious formula and is already using it on half of my men! I already saw one of his monkeys trashing downtown!" Torchwick angrily retorts at the calm scientist.

Cinder remarks, "Enough, Roman. We'll deal with the Goblin when he shows his face. By the way, Osborn…" She turns to him, "How are the production of the Spider-Slayers coming along?" She asks him.

"Smoothly. Pretty soon, you'll have yourself an unstoppable army of hyper-advanced robots that'll crush the wallcrawler and the Goblin, and eliminate anyone else who gets in your way." Osborn answered.

"Good. I do not want to see anymore failures like the Elementals." Cinder reminds him.

"I don't repeat failures." Osborn glares at the fall maiden.

"Speaking of which, if you guys wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand master plan, it might actually make my next string of robberies go a little smoother!" Torchwick emphasizes the last word by clenching his fist.

"Oh, Roman. Have a little faith." Cinder approaches him as she places her hand on his face. "You'll know what you need when you need to know it." The crime boss seems entranced, but then looks away with a grunt as she talks, "Besides, we're done with Dust." She begins to walk away.

"O-okay, then what now?" Torchwick asked.

"We're moving. Have the White Fang clear out this building. I'll send you details and coordinates tonight." She orders him.

"Coordinates?" Torchwick questioned.

Cinder looks back at him stating, "We're proceeding to phase two." before walking away with Mercury and Emerald. Osborn watches her leave with his arms crossed, while Roman attempts to light a cigar, but realizes Emerald has stolen his lighter. She turns back to face him and sticks her tongue out defiantly.
