Spider-Man: Watch out! Here comes the Spider-Man! Damn it! After all these months, I finally found out Green Goblin has also been stranded in this dimension after the accident! He's been behind everything! Harnessing ISO-8 and establishing his own criminal gang called the Goblin Nation. This is all my fault. I should've realized he was here. Pull it together, Parker. You're the only person who can stop him from taking over this entire dimension.

Beacon Academy
BGM-RWBY OST- Welcome to Beacon
A large an unnerving ship descends upon a landing pad at the school while two Bullheads fly by above swarms of people on the paths around Beacon. At the top of Beacon Tower hiding behind the clouds, Professors Ozpin and Glynda are watching all of this happening through the window in Ozpin's office.
"Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels." Glynda crossed her arms, clearly annoyed with all these ships at her school.
"Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man." Ozpin remarks while three more Bullheads fly in, "But yes, those are a bit of an eyesore." He then hears a chirping beep sounding repeatedly from a holo-message on his desk requesting access into his office, which he permits, "Come in."
General James Ironwood walks out of the elevator as he approaches his old friend. "Ozpin!" He greeted cordially.
"Hello, General." Ozpin responds formally, standing at attention of his old friend.
"Please, drop the formalities. It's been too long." Ironwood remarks, as the old friends shake hands as Glynda also approaches them, "And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met."
"Oh, James!" She gives a personable wave and then immediately drops all pleasantries, "I'll be outside." She says, walking out of the office.
"Well, she hasn't changed a bit." Ironwood quipped.
"So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas?" Ozpin asks as he turns to his desk, picking up a mug and a kettle, pouring as he speaks, "Headmasters don't typically travel with their students, for the Vytal Festival." He turns and offers the cup to the general.
"Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year." Ironwood grabs the mug, taking out a canteen from his inside coat pocket and pours its contents into his drink, "Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up." He says, while Ozpin walks around to his desk, kettle and new mug in hand.
"I can certainly appreciate the quality time between friends, however, a small fleet outside my window has me concerned." Ozpin remarks, sitting down and pouring himself some coffee.
"Well…concern is what brought them here." Ironwood replied.
Ozpin says, "I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult-."
"Oz, you and I both know why I brought those men." Ironwood interrupts him, as the Vale headmaster takes a drink and sets down his mug.
"We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression." Ozpin sighed, while the general sets his mug down.
"But if what Qrow said is true…" Ironwood starts before getting cut off by his friend.
"If what Qrow said is true, then we will handle it tactfully." Ozpin emphasizes this as he holds up an index finger, "It's the Vytal Festival. A time to celebrate unity and peace. So I suggest that you not scare people by transporting hundreds of soliders halfway across the continent."
"I'm just being cautious." Ironwood replied. "We have not one, but TWO unknown enemy groups hiding out there. This 'Goblin King' Qrow mentioned. It's no question he was the mastermind behind the attack on Atlas and the Elementals, not Mach-X. And there have been rumors of his cult spreading and secretly infesting each kingdom." He calmly said.
"Which is why we will continue to train the best Huntsmen and Huntresses we can." Ozpin replied. "Not to mention we have a certain hero in this city who has encountered this monster before and will heed our call when the time is right." He said as he talks about Spider-Man, and seems to be implying that he knew Norman Osborn is here as the Goblin King.
"I assume this hero goes to this school?" Ironwood asked.
"You've met him back at Atlas, haven't you?" Ozpin leans on his hands.
"Yes I have." Ironwood responded, implying he has deduced Spider-Man's secret identity earlier. The general turns and walks away, but stops near the door and looks back at Ozpin to ask him one final question, "But ask yourself this: Besides him, do you honestly believe your children can win a war?" He asked, continuing his way to the exit.
"I hope they never have to." Ozpin muttered somberly.

Meanwhile inside Team RWBYP's dorm…
Peter leaned next to the window with his arms crossed while completely lost in thought over recent discoveries. The Green Goblin. It wasn't that long ago he learned his arch-nemesis has been working behind the scenes, scheming a plan involving ISO-8 so dangerous that it could threaten this entire dimension. He can faintly hear the Goblin's maniacal laugh in his mind taunting him, causing him to grunt in frustration and almost tempted to punch something. He's too distracted in his own thoughts that he didn't hear someone entering the room until they called him.
"Peter?"
"GAH!" He jumps after being spooked, turning around to see it's just Blake. "Blake. Sorry, I thought…What do you want?" He asks her.
"Everyone's hanging out at the library to play some board game. Thought you could join us." Blake said.
"That's okay…I'm not in the mood to play anything." Peter answers while shyly turning his face away from her, which caught her curiosity and concern.
"Are you okay, Peter? You seemed lost and spook when I came in, and you've been pretty quiet ever since you beaten that mutated monkey faunus. Is something the matter?" Blake asks him.
"It's…It's nothing." Peter lies with a sad frown, wanting to hide everything he knows about Green Goblin.
"If this concerns the White Fang, I need to know. They're my responsibility too." Blake responds with a determined look on her face that wants to know what he's hiding.
"It's…It's the Professor. I…I found out who he is." Peter reluctantly answers, but still doing his best to hide the whole truth.
"Who?" She questioned.
"His name…is Norman Osborn." He answers shamefully.
Blake lowly gasps in shock at this news, as she heard about Osborn from him and Weiss some time ago, "Norman Osborn? The father of your deceased best friend? He's been behind everything?"
"I'm afraid so." Peter responds somberly. "He's…plotting something. Something massive that could endanger the entire planet. I can feel it, which means I can't just sit around doing nothing while he's putting innocent people at risk. I need to find him. Stop him before it's too late. And I need to do it alone." He says, starting to sound angry as he makes his way towards the door.
Blake argues, "Why? I can help-?"
"No!" Peter angrily snaps back at her, which was a shock for her to see him so angry, "You don't know Osborn the way I do. He's a monster in every sense of the word. He will not hesitate to use the people I love for his own twisted endeavors just to hurt me. I care about you and the others way too much to lose you now, which is why I must find him and stop him permanently!"
"But, Peter…" Blake lowly responds.
"I MEAN IT!" He snaps back again, as his anger causes him unintentionally activate his X-Aura, causing him to have slitted red eyes and snarling fangs, "LISTEN to me, Blake! DON'T get yourself involved with Osborn!"
Blake steps aback with a spooked look of her own, as she feels a little scared by his unexpected rage. "Peter, your eyes and your fangs…and…your wrists?" She remarks, as she strangely notices something that appeared on his wrists suddenly.
BGM-Spider-Man 3 (Game) OST-Black Tension
Peter looks down at his arms to figure out what she's talking about, and was shocked and horrified to learn he has developed retractable, razor-sharp stingers that unsheathed themselves beneath his wrists. "What the?! Stingers?! Since when did I have stingers?! Spiders aren't supposed to have stingers!" He reacts in surprise.
"Your powers and Aura. They're fluctuating again." Blake said.
"No. They're not just fluctuating. My powers. I think they're…mutating. What's going on with me? Why am I suddenly losing control of my own body? It feels something is trying to take control over me." The horrified Peter asks, panting in shock as he manages to sheath back the mysterious stingers and turns off his X-Aura.
"Are you okay?" Blake asks him, reaching out as she is increasingly becoming concern for his wellbeing.
"I need some air. Don't follow me, for your own good." Peter softly warns her, as the depressed hero walks out of the room, leaving his faunus friend by her lonesome.
"Peter…What's happening to you?" She asks with a deeply concerned expression on her face.
BGM End
Emerald Forest
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" In the forest, Spider-Man explodes with outrageous anger while unleashing the full fury of his X-Aura, giving off a powerful scarlet explosion that craters his position and scatters bushes to the wind as he furiously demolishes every type of tree he comes across with his punches alone to relieve all the stress after learning about Goblin's plans.
Once his intense anger was spent after demolishing a section of the forest, Peter falls on his knees exhausted, taking deep breaths while turning off his aura. 'Calm down.' A familiar elderly voice tells him, as he is suddenly whisked away by a vortex into Madame Web's pocket dimension, "Unless you want an entire forest of Grimm to pile on you." She calmly jokes.
"YOU!" Peter stands as he angrily approaches her, "You KNEW Goblin was here all along, didn't you?! HE'S the big threat you kept babbling about, isn't he?!" He asks her.
"That is correct." Madame Web calmly answered him.
Peter argues, "Why didn't you tell me?! If I knew Goblin was here, then maybe-!"
"Maybe WHAT, Parker?!" Madame Web raised her voice, prompting Peter to shut up and listen to her words, "You were not ready. Osborn has aligned himself with powerful dark forces that go beyond the White Fang, manipulating each of them to further his own agenda. That is why I wanted you to adjust to Remnant first before hunting him down. Training at Beacon Academy to improve your fighting capabilities and gain allies who will risk their lives for you in the coming battles."
"And while I was adjusting, HE'S been busy building an army using ISO-8 and causing chaos around the world with his Goblin Nation! I DON'T want my friends to get involved in a fight that's not theirs! It's because of me this entire dimension is in grave danger! I CAN'T risk their safety! Goblin is way out of their league!" Peter argued.
"Do you have such little faith in your own teammates?" Madame Web calmly asks him, which shuts him up again. "There was a time when you yourself was an inexperienced, naïve hero, yet played an important role in the universe's greatest battles. No matter the challenge, there is nothing wrong having allies by your side, regardless who they are. Fighting Goblin now, alone, would most certainly end in your own demise." She argues with some wisdom.
"I don't care what happens to me! I want my friends safe! That's all! I don't want them to get themselves killed in my problems!" Spidey argues, turning away from his advisor as he walks away, "Take me back! I'm going to search for clues on Goblin, ALONE! Don't even think about stopping me, or I'll never forgive you!" He sternly warns her with a menacing glare.
"As you wish." Madame Web calmly responds, mentally using her powers to teleport the hero out of her dimension. "And those clues you are looking for? Expect them to come to you." She says ominously, having a little plan in mind that's already in motion.
Meanwhile at the Beacon Library…
BGM-RWBY OST-Welcome to Beacon
While Peter goes off on his own to search for Goblin's whereabouts, the rest of his friends are in the library playing a board game called Remnant: The Game being played by Weiss, Yang, Ruby, and Blake, who is obviously distracted after her recent conversation with the webslinger.
Ruby contemplates her next move, "Hmmmmmm…All right…All right!" She points at her sister, "Yang Xiao Long, prepare your kingdom for battle!"
"Bring it on!" Yang said, thrusting her elbow down as she balls her fist.
"I deploy the Atlesian Air Fleet!" Ruby declared, slapping her card down on the table as Yang feigns a look of shock at her move. "Looks like I get to fly right over your Ursai and attack your walls directly!" She makes noises like airplanes flying and bombing as she makes a bird with her hands.
"You fiend!" Yang feigning indignance as she points at Ruby.
Ruby ducks under the one end of the table, looking at the board and its player pieces in detail, "And since Atlas is part of Mantle, my repair time is only one turn." She peaks her head up, but then gives a look of surprise as Yang is heard laughing arrogantly.
Yang raises her card, "Pretty sneaky, sis, but you just activated my trap card!" She shows the card, which causes Ruby to be visibly disturbed by the, "Giant Nevermore!" as the card gets slam on the table, "If I roll a seven or higher, fatal feathers will slice your fleet in two!"
Ruby points at Yang to retort, "But, if you roll a six or lower, the Nevermore will turn on your own forces!"
"That's just a chance I'm willing to take." Yang responds, as sisters glare at each other.
Yang is heard shouting triumphantly while Team JNPR are listening to their banter sitting at another table close to them. Ren and Pyrrha studying while Nora's snot bubble inflates and deflates as she sleeps.
"Noooo! My fearless soldiers!" Ruby shouted.
"Eh, most of them were probably androids." Yang quipped.
"Goodbye my friends, you will be avenged."
"Not until I draw my rewards! Which are double this round thanks to the Mistral Trade Route!"
"Bah!"
"Oh. Have pancakes." Nora randomly said while snoring in her sleep.
"Oh, and what's this? The Smugglers of Wind Path?" Yang continues talking, while Pyrrha clears her throat and then confiscates a comic book Jaune is reading, trading it for a textbook.
"Bah! Bah, I say!" Ruby retorted.
"I say, it looks like I'm taking two cards in my hand!"
As Pyrrha reads Jaune's comic, a Nevermore player piece is tossed over Jaune's shoulder, while another piece bounces off of his head.
"Have you no heart?" Ruby collapses on the table, groaning, "Nooo!"
"Well, Weiss, it's your turn." Yang said to the confused Weiss, who has no idea what is going on anymore.
"I have…absolutely no idea what's going on." Weiss admitted.
Yang slides up beside her and puts her hand on her shoulder, smiling, "Look, it's easy! You're playing as Vacuo which means that all Vacuo-based cards come with a bonus."
"That sounds dumb." Weiss remarked.
Yang starts looking through Weiss' cards, "See, you've got Sandstorm, Desert Scavenge…Oh, oh!" She pulls up a card to show Weiss, "Resourceful Raider! See, now you can take Ruby's discarded Air Fleet-."
"Nooo!" Ruby interrupts with her crying.
"-and put it in your hand!" Yang finished.
"Okay." Weiss said, still considerably confused.
"And since Vacuo warriors have an endurance against Natural-based hazards, you can use Sandstorm to disable my ground forces and simultaneously infiltrate my kingdom!" Yang points a finger at Weiss while glaring, "Just know that I will not forget this declaration of war." She warns her while pulling away to her seat.
"And that means…" Weiss asked, still confused.
"You're just three moves away from conquering Remnant!" Ruby answered her while still in tears.
Weiss stands along with her overjoyed psychotic laughter of her near victory, "Y-yes! Fear the almighty power of my forces! Cower as they pillage your homes and weep as they take your children from your very arms!"
"Trap card." Yang nonchalantly interrupts her while holding a card.
"Huh?"
Yang shuffles the pieces on the board, causing Weiss' pieces to disappear in a puff of smoke, "Your armies have been destroyed." She stated.
Weiss slumps in her chair, crying and whining, "I hate this game of emotions we play."
Ruby hops into Weiss' lap, still in tears, "Stay strong, Weiss! We'll make it through this together!"
"Shut up!" Weiss hugs Ruby, "Don't touch me!"
"Alright Blake, you're up!" Yang said, while putting her arms up behind her head.
"Oh, um, sorry, what am I doing?" Blake asked, as she was completely lost in her own little world throughout the duration of the game.
"You're playing as Vale, trying to conquer the Kingdoms of Remnant!" Yang reminded her.
"Right."
"Hey! Can I play?" Jaune asks the girls as he approaches their table.
"Sorry Jaune, we've already got four people." Ruby replied.
"Besides, this game requires a certain level of tactical cunning that I seriously doubt that you possess." Weiss mocks him.
"Uhh, you attacked your own naval fleet 2 turns ago." Yang reminded her, causing Weiss to make an annoyed sound.
"Bring it on, Ice Queen! I'll have you know that I have been told that I am a natural born leader!" Jaune challenges the heiress to a match.
"By who? Your mother?" Weiss mocked.
"A-And Pyrrha!" Jaune sheepishly replied.
"Hello again!"
"Come on, let me play your hand for a turn." Jaune begs her with both hands folded together.
"I'm not trusting you with the good citizens of Vacuo!" Weiss retorts.
"Why not?" Jaune asked, "You've trusted me with way more important stuff before. I mean, you told us all that Blake is secretly a Fa-." He got cut off by Pyrrha, who darted over to him and slaps a hand over his mouth to prevent him from talking.
"Fun-loving person, whom we all admire and respect." She finished for him, making Jaune laugh nervously.
Everyone looks nervously at Blake, who is obviously annoyed that her secret is out. "Right. That. Ladies, enjoy your battle." Jaune bows to them as Pyrrha walk away.
"'Sup losers." Sun said as he and Neptune walks over to his friends while holding his fingers in a 'peace' sign.
"Hey Sun!" Ruby greets him.
"Ruby, Yang, Blake…Ice Queen." Sun greeted his new friends.
"Why does everyone keep calling me that?" Weiss remarks annoyingly.
"I never got a chance to formally introduce you to my old friend." Sun introduces Neptune to the group.
"Uhh, aren't libraries for reading?" Neptune asked them, wondering why they're loudly playing a board game in a library.
"Thank you!" Ren throws up his arms, thinking the same thing for a while.
"Pancakes!" Nora pops her head up.
"Shut up. Don't be a nerd." Sun told his friend.
Neptune shakes his finger at Sun, "Geh, geh, geh, geh! 'Intellectual', okay? Thank you." He waves at the group, "I'm Neptune."
"So Neptune, where are you from?" Weiss asks, curious to know more about him.
"Haven." He answered her as he approaches the heiress, "And I don't believe I've caught your name, snow angel." He flirts with her, finding her attractive.
"Um, I'm Weiss." She responds to his flirt softly.
"Are you kidding me!?" Jaune retorts from the sidelines, angry that Neptune is making a move on his love interest.
"Pleasure to meet you." Neptune responds to the cute heiress.
"I never took you as the board game playing type." Sun said to Blake. "By the way…" He looks around the table to look for a particular photographer, "Where's Peter? Is he out taking pictures of Spider-Man again?" He asks the cat Faunus, which internally disturbs her.
"Right, well, I think I'm done playing actually." Blake responded, ignoring his question about Peter as she gets up from the chair, shoving Sun aside and leaves the room, "I'll see you guys later."
Everyone looks at Blake walking off, wondering what's on her mind. "Women." Nora shrugs casually, causing everyone to look at her.

City of Vale
BGM-Spider-Man: Web of Shadows OST-Act 1 City 3
"Damn it! Where could he be hiding?" An irritated Spidey asks himself while swinging through the city for any clues on Goblin's whereabouts, but so far hasn't gotten a whiff of his hideout or any sign of his Goblin Nation. "I have to find Goblin before he initiates whatever crazy master plan he has with the ISO-8, but I have no idea where to start looking. He could be anywhere. Anywhere out of the kingdom. Argh! This is hopeless!"
The frustrated webslinger swings higher into the air as he lands on top a rooftop, "To think once upon a time I wanted to tell my friends my secret identity. Not anymore! I was a fool for thinking that. A fool to get too involved in their lives. And now they're potential targets because I was an idiot for allowing Ozpin to convince me to join his school." He berates himself.
"Yes, you ARE an idiot for trusting that old fool. It would seem we have something in common." A mysterious female voice says near him, as his spider-sense alerts him to this potential opponent.
"Who's there?! Show yourself, because trust me buddy, I am NOT in the mood to play games!" Spidey shouts, preparing to web the person once they show their face.
"Calm down. I am not your enemy." The woman approaches the wallcrawler from behind, causing him to turn around to be confronted by none other than the masked Raven Branwen.
"Who are you? Are you part of the White Fang?" Spidey asks with a serious tone, clueless that he's being greeted by Yang's estranged mother.
"No. My name is not important. I'm here to help you." Raven replied.
"Help? Yeah right. Look mask lady, I don't need your help or anyone else's for that matter. So why don't you back off and leave me alone." Spidey rejects her mysterious offer as he turns and walks away from her.
"Madame Web warned me you'd be this stubborn, Peter Parker." Raven said calmly, which instantly causes the surprised hero to stop and turn around to face her.
"How do you know about me? About Madame Web?" Spidey asks her, wanting to know how she's aware of his secret identity.
"The old crone told me. Somehow, she convinced me to help you stop Goblin." Raven replied, having begrudgingly allying herself with Madame Web.
"Yeah, she certainly has a way to convince others to do her dirty work." Peter quipped. "Why go to a complete stranger with a funny mask for help and not tell me anything about Goblin?!" He asks, irritated that Madame Web doesn't seem to trust him.
"You're one to talk." Raven remarks on his funny-looking mask. "Madame Web came to me because I am a member of his Goblin Nation." She told him.
"You work for Goblin?" Spidey remarks, putting his guard up as that instantly puts him in the serious untrusting mode.
Raven calmly responds, "For now. I have my reasons to join his little nation. For months, I've been planning to betray him once I secured enough ISO-8 for my own survival. Madame Web knew about this and thought it was a good idea to recruit me in this 'secret war' against Goblin. Said the best way to betray Goblin is by continuing to work as an undercover agent for Spider-Man and provide him intel that'll help him dismantle his organization from the outside. I argued immensely against the idea as I hate being a pawn, but like you said, she can be annoyingly convincing."
"That's what you get for working with a genetically-altered madman that wants to destroy the world!" Spidey quipped.
"Goblin was also irritatingly convincing." Raven dryly remarked.
"Whatever you say, mask lady." Spidey joked.
Raven scoffs as she hands him some pieces of paper related to Goblin, "Here are some notes on a Goblin hideout here in the city. Building C located at the industrial district. The goons there love explosives, so that might give you an idea how to destroy their headquarters." She told him.
"You're not coming with me?" Spidey questions her, while reading through the notes.
"Do you not pay attention? I must continue staying undercover to gain more intel so you can do all the dirty work." Raven remarks, insulting the webslinger.
"And help you get out of this mess. Got it. You continue being mysterious and useful." Spidey quips, annoying her as he jumps off the building to swing towards the hideout, "Building C at the industrial district, here I come!" He says to himself while swinging.

At the secret Goblin Nation hideout…
BGM-Spider-Man: Web of Shadows OST-Gang War (Red Suit)
Arriving at the industrial district, Spider-Man lands on a rooftop across an abandoned apartment building that supposedly is being used as a hideout for the Goblin Nation, "This must be the place. Sensing a lot of activity inside. Has to be Goblin's goblins. Better knock."
Spider-Man smashes down a steel door that leads into the evil lair, quickly gathering the attention of several goblin-masked thugs and criminals with goblin tattoos that all work for the Goblin King. "Hiya folks. I'm the friendly neighborhood door-to-door apartment inspector. Dropped by to inspect any evil activity cooking in here, and boy do I smell evil!" He jokes, while immediately avoiding the goons firing at him.
"We weren't counting on Spider-Man to show up!" A Goblin solider remarks on the hero's sudden appearance.
"I'd say perfect timing! I've been itching to prove my loyalty to the Goblin King!" Another goon cockily says, throwing a pumpkin bomb at the webslinger, who quickly catches it and throws it back as it explodes, blasting several goons through the walls.
"Shooting bullets and throwing pumpkin bombs at me will earn you a mark on this inspection. You're just asking to get evicted." Spidey web strikes a goon into the air, juggling him around for a while before brutally slamming him onto other goons as they lay down on the ground unconscious.
"Sorry kids, but I don't have time to play games with you. I need to speak with your daddy about the messiness of your apartment." Spidey jokes around while exploring the apartment, easily defeating his pumpkin bomb-throwing enemies while searching for a way to destroy their headquarters.
"We're not telling you anything about our king!" A goon throws several bombs at the webslinger, who quickly deflects all but one as they explode and kicks the last one right back at the goon.
"Fine. Be that way. Then I won't tell you how you and your bros are gonna get evicted for failing the inspection. Hint hint. It'll be very explosive." Spidey kicks down a door that leads him to a panel that controls an explosive stockpile nearby that's powerful enough to destroy the entire building. He quickly hacks the terminal to arm the bombs, wiring it to blow in less than a minute.
"Time to skedaddle!" Spidey swings out of the building, as everything starts blowing up around him. The remaining goblin soliders run away screaming from the exploding building to fight another day, as Spidey jumps through a window just as it collapses in on itself.
BGM End
After the dust settled, Spider-Man reenters the ruins of the hideout through a massive hole in the ceiling and looks around at the defeated goblin thugs lying unconsciously on the ground. "Phew! If only the real Goblin was this easy to take down. Oh well, never a dull moment in Spidey-town." He jokes, as his spider-sense alerts him to a mysterious hooded figure escaping down the hallway, "Wait up there mysterious hooded figure guy!"
BGM-Ultimate Spider-Man (Game) OST-Bonus USM City Mix 2
"Hold on!" A certain Atlesian Military general calls him out before he could chase the mystery goon.
To his surprise, Spider-Man turns around to be greeted by General Ironwood, as he and some of his military soliders have arrived at the scene to investigate the cause of the explosion and arrest Goblin's henchmen. "You've done quite a service for the kingdom here, Spidey. Got a second to talk before you zip off?" Ironwood speaks to the teenage webslinger.
"Oh…uh well…thanks for dropping in. I'm always happy to be of service to the kingdom and all, Mr. Ironwood, but I think I let one of these goons get away." Spider-Man replied nervously while in the presence of the military.
"That goon must've been Norman Osborn. He's the Goblin King. We tried capturing him when he invaded Atlas but he escaped." Ironwood said.
"Wait a second! How do you know about Norman Osborn?!" Spidey questions him.
"Ozpin speculated it was him when we first gained intel on the Goblin King. If I'm mistaken, you and Goblin are not from this world, are you?" Ironwood replied, aware Spider-Man and Goblin are from another world thanks to Ozpin informing him earlier.
Understandably furious by this news, Spider-Man angrily retorts to the general while heading for the exit, "Ozpin also knew Goblin was here and never told me?! What is up with people keeping secrets from me lately?! Osborn is MY responsibility! If I don't stop him soon, he could destroy this entire world! He HAS the power thanks to the ISO-8! That's why I need to hurry and-!"
"Peter, wait…" Ironwood calmly calls him out by his secret identity, which instantly forces the irritated Peter to stop on his tracks while listening to him, "He knows who you are. He was raving about you when we captured him; before he escaped with the Dust Reactor. And he'll do anything to destroy you. Though you are visitor to our world and understandably feel guilty for Goblin's actions, you've risked your life defending this planet and have been pushing yourself to stop him. But not even one man can win a war against an army."
"So what should I do?" Spider-Man calmly asks the general before he leaves the premise.
"Take this. You're gonna need all the help you can get." Ironwood hands the webslinger a small tracker device that'll pinpoint on his location if he ever finds himself in trouble with the Goblin Nation again.
BGM End
Short while later…
After allying himself with the Atlesian Military in his war against the Goblin Nation, Spider-Man swings back to the rooftop to regroup with Raven. "I see your mission was successful." She said.
"For the most part, but Goblin managed to escape." Spider-Man replied.
"He'll turn up again. I'll contact you tomorrow for your next mission as I gain more intel." Raven told him, as she swings her sword in the air to open a portal to an unknown location, "Get some sleep. I'm giving you a hard one tomorrow." She warns him before leaving through the portal as it closes.
"Oh sure. As if everything up until now has been easy." Spidey jokes, launching a webline to swing on through the night. "But I will admit, having that mystery woman and the military help me fight Goblin is rather comforting. Just as long as my friends aren't involved. They're more important to me than anyone else. That's why I don't want any of them involved. This is my fight. My war to win. I have to do this, without them." He said somberly, yet determined to stop the Goblin Nation without assistance from his own teammates.
Meanwhile inside Team RWBYP's dorm…
BGM-RWBY OST-Welcome to Beacon
Blake sits with her knees folded to her chest on her bed, reminiscing past events regarding Torchwick, the White Fang, Norman Osborn as the Professor, and more importantly, Peter's weird mutation.
'"Brothers of White Fang, why are you aiding this scum".'
'"The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture".'
'"What's going on with me? Why am I suddenly losing control of my own body? It feels something is trying to take control over me'."
Blake recalls the sounds of battle including slashes, grunts, gunfire, and Torchwick's laughter, as well as recalling a flashback with Ozpin after that night with the Elementals.
Flashback…A few weeks ago…
"Well, this has certainly been an eventful evening." Ozpin enters the interviewing office, as Blake sits behind a table while quickly acknowledging his statement.
"Hmph." She scoffed.
"I'm sure that after a night of thwarting attempted robbery and saving the kingdom from a merged elemental monster, you probably just want to go home and take a nap. But, I was hoping that maybe we could have a chance to talk." Ozpin says, taking a seat at the table across the faunus.
"Of course." Blake nodded.
"Wonderful." Ozpin responded. "As you know, in order to enroll at my academy, students must first pass a rigorous entrance exam. Most applicants spend years of preparation training at one of the many combat schools around the world. You are one of the few that did not. And you passed the exam with flying colors."
"I was raised outside the kingdoms. If you can't fight, you can't survive." Blake replied.
"Well, you have most certainly survived, Blake. I admire your drive. And I am proud to run a school that accepts individuals from all walks of life. Rich, poor, Human..." Ozpin sips his coffee before saying, "Faunus…" earning a glare from his student as he has been aware of her true heritage, "Why do you wear that bow, Blake? Why hide who you are?" He asks her.
"You may be willing to accept the Faunus, Professor Ozpin, but your species is not." Blake answered.
"True, but we are continuing to take strides to lessen the divide." Ozpin admitted.
"With all due respect, you need to start taking some larger strides. Until then, I'd rather avoid any unnecessary attention. I want people to see me for who I am, not what I am." Blake responded.
"And what are you?" Ozpin asks a strange question.
"I don't understand what you're asking." She responded.
"How did you know the White Fang would be at the shipyard tonight?" Ozpin interrogates her.
"I didn't. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time." She lied.
"You wouldn't have been the first. But what happened tonight was not an isolated incident. I may be your headmaster, but I am also a Huntsman, and it is my sworn duty to protect this world from the forces that conspire against it. Blake, are you sure there is nothing else you would like to tell me?" Ozpin asked, wanting to learn the whole truth.
"I'm sure." Blake lies again.
"Very well. Thank you for your time, Ms. Belladonna." Ozpin stands and heads to the door, but stops for a moment as he turns to Blake, "If you ever need to talk to me, please, don't hesitate to ask." He shuts the door behind him.
Flashback Ends
Present Day at Team RWBYP's dorm…
After remembering that conversation, Blake hears her teammates, except for Peter, entering their dormroom. "Ugh, we should have never let him play!" Yang remarks angrily for some reason.
"You're just mad cuz' the new guy beat you! See, if you had just attacked when I told you none of this would have happened." Ruby remarked.
As they enter, Blake approaches the door to leave, only for Weiss to notice and say, "Stop." while pointing at the faunus, who's hand retracts from the door knob, "Lately you've been quiet, antisocial and moody!" Weiss accuses her teammate.
"Uh, have you met Blake?" Yang quipped.
"Which I get is kind of your thing, but you've been doing it more than usual! Same thing with Peter, wherever that guy keeps running off to! Which quite frankly, is unacceptable! You made a promise to me, to all of us, that you would let us know if something was wrong!" Weiss flips through the air and lands on a chair, "So, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong!?" She points her finger at Blake again, while balancing precariously on the chair's back feet. She quickly puts it away and returns to stand near the girls.
"I just…I don't understand how everyone can be so calm." Blake confessed.
"You're still thinking about Torchwick?" Ruby responds while approaching her friend.
"Torchwick, the White Fang, all of it!" Blake raised her voice a bit. "Something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it!"
"Ozpin told us not to worry. Between, the police and the Huntsmen, not to mention Spider-Man, I'm sure they can handle it." Yang replied.
"Well I'm not! They don't know the White Fang like I do! Most of them don't know a dangerous man like Norman Osborn is with them!" Blake retorted.
"Wait, wait, wait! Norman Osborn? How is Peter's dead best friend dad a part of this?" Weiss remarks curiously.
"He's the 'Professor' that has been behind the creation of the recent disasters in the kingdom like the Elementals." Blake informs her friends.
"Does Peter know about this?" Ruby asks her in concern for Peter.
"He…Not exactly. It's probably best he doesn't know." Blake lies, visibly ashamed.
"Okay, between blowing up nightclubs, stopping thieves, and fighting for freedom, I'm sure the three of you think that you're all ready to go out and apprehend these ne'er-do-wells!" Weiss responded.
"Uh, who?" Ruby remarks confusedly.
"But let me once again be the voice of reason. We're students! We're not ready to handle this sort of situation!" Weiss voiced her opinion on this matter.
Ruby calmly argues, "Well yeah, but…"
"We're not ready!" Weiss retorted.
"And we may never be ready!" Blake argued. "Our enemies aren't just going to sit around and wait for graduation day." She says while pointing toward the door, "They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not!"
"Okay." Ruby raises her hand and does other random gestures, while looking manic as she says, "All in favor of becoming the youngest Huntresses, and Huntsman, to single-handedly taking down a corrupt organization conspiring against the Kingdom of Vale…say aye." She asks her friends who wants to join stopping the White Fang.
"Yes!" Yang accepts, pumping her fist enthusiastically while pointing at Blake, "I love it when you're feisty!"
"Well, I suppose it could be fun." Weiss accepts the mission as well.
"None of you said aye!" Ruby said dejectedly.
"Alright then, we're in this together!" Blake grinned.
"What about Pete? Will he help out? This is personal for him too since this Osborn guy is involved." Yang asks her partner.
"He's coming down with a sickness. It's best we do this ourselves while he recovers." Blake frowns, avoiding to tell them about his mysterious mutation.
"Let's hatch a plan!" Ruby said with a gesture.
"Yeah!" Yang agreed while pointing 'double-guns' at her sister.
Ruby gasps as she freaks out over something important, "I left my board game at the library!"
Weiss facepalms, "We're doomed."
Ruby quickly runs out of the room and down the hallway shouting, "I'll be right back!" before colliding with someone in her way and falls on the ground, "Oo-oof! Oh g-!" She looks up to apologize to the person, "Sorry. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Emerald replies while offering her hand to Ruby, "Just watch where you're going." She said as Ruby takes her hand, while Mercury is standing beside them.
"Oh…Right…Sorry…" Ruby continues speaking as Emerald helps her up to her feet, "Um…I'm Ruby! Are you…new?"
Emerald steps aside to reveal Cinder as she approaches, "Visiting from Haven, actually." Cinder said as Emerald turns to her master.
Ruby stares for a moment while Cinder stares back, "Ooh! You're here for the festival! But exchange students have their own dormitory." She told them.
"I guess we just got turned around." Mercury remarked.
"Don't worry, happens all the time!" Ruby says as Mercury and Emerald walk past her, "Uh, your building is just east of here." She told them.
"Thanks. Maybe we'll see you around." Cinder said as she walks past Ruby, gesturing in acknowledgement. She then stops for quick moment as she turns back to ask her something, "Oh, and by the way, aren't you friends with the photographer that takes pictures of Spider-Man? Peter Parker is his name?" She asks Ruby.
"Yeah. Why do you want to know?" Ruby asked her suspiciously.
"I want to personally talk to him and ask him how he takes those amazing pictures of our favorite hero." Cinder answers with a grin.
"Well, sorry. He's currently not here at the moment. He usually comes home late." Ruby answered.
"Hmm, maybe tomorrow then." Cinder said as she begins walking again.
"Yeah, maybe!" Ruby says as she waves at the three of them, "Oh, uh, and welcome to Beacon!" She told them, unaware of Cinder's evilish grin and her eyes glowing menacingly, as she has plans to personally meet with Peter Parker about Spider-Man.
