Spider-Man: Watch out! Here comes the Spider-Man! With the help of Madame Web, and the surprising assistance of Dr. Strange, I was finally able to beat The Other and merge with its power. I feel incredible! New Aura! New powers! I'm a whole new Spider-Man! Let's hope this'll be enough when we fight Goblin. I know he's somewhere in Mt. Glenn, and I'm gonna find him and take him down.

Vol 2 Issue 18: Battle of Vale (Part 1) – Secret Invasion
Beacon Academy
BGM-RWBY OST-Mountain Glenn
General Ironwood looks out from the landing docks of Beacon to the city of Vale at night, with a few airships hovering over the lit-up buildings. Walking up from behind him is Professor Goodwitch, curious to know why the general is up at this late hour, "Trouble sleeping?"
Ironwood looks back at her, gripping his shoulder with the other hand, "Arm was acting up."
"Of course, so logically, you got out of bed, dressed yourself completely and decided to gaze menacingly out into the distance." She quips as she approaches all the way to his side, then looks at him concerned, "What's wrong?"
"I've trusted him for years. We both have. I just…I can't help but feel like he's keeping us in the dark." Ironwood talks about his trust issues with Ozpin.
"Don't be ridiculous! You know very well that we are not the ones in the dark." Glynda replied.
"That makes it worse!" Ironwood laughs humorously. "I refuse to believe that a man that I've trusted for so long would act so…passively."
Glynda puts a reassuring hand on her friend's shoulder, "You're a good person, James. You've always done what you think is best for the people, even against strong protest. It's admirable. But it's high time you stopped talking about trust and started showing it." She drops her hand as they stare into the distance together, "Ozpin has experience that the rest of us lack. And I think that's something worth remembering." She said, staring into the distance alongside the general.

Meanwhile at Mt. Glenn…
After Peter defeated The Other inside the Spider-Temple, the heroes returned to their camp at Mt. Glenn for sleep. A full moon shines over the ruined buildings of the city, and a lone Beowolf is searching through the rubble. It looks up briefly at the young girl who has it in her red crosshair scope, but Ruby just lowers her weapon and sighs in tiredness at she keeps lookout over the destruction. The rest of her team is lying down on their sleeping mats around the fire with weapons nearby, and Doctor Oobleck is higher up, slumped down against the wall next to the hole in the ceiling. The four members of RWBYP have their eyes closed, but Yang is the first to stop pretending.
"Blake, are you awake?" She asks her partner.
"Yeah." Blake answered.
"Why do you think he asked us about being a Huntress? Like, what was he trying to say?" Yang asks, still bothered by Oobleck's interrogations on their goals.
"Maybe he was just curious." The Faunus guessed.
"You think?"
"No."
"Peter, are you awake?" Yang turns to her sleeping boyfriend.
"Zzzzzz…"
"Shouldn't be surprised. He did just beat a god a few hours ago." Blake responded, noting Peter's exhaustion after defeating a spider-god inside his own mind.
Yang decides to turn to Weiss next, "Weiss, are you awake?"
"Of course I'm awake!" Weiss retorted, wide awake as the other two. "You two are talking. And I think he... When I said I wanted to honor my family's name, I meant it. But, it's not what you think. I'm not stupid. I'm fully aware of what my father has done with the Schnee Dust Company. Since he took control, our business has operated in a... moral gray area."
"That's putting it lightly." Blake commented.
"Which is why I feel the need to make things right. If I had taken a job in Atlas, it wouldn't have changed anything. My father was not the start of our name, and I refuse to let him be the end of it." Weiss calmly affirmed.
"All my life, I fought for what I thought was right." Blake speaks about her backstory. "I had a partner named Adam. More of a mentor, actually. He always assured me that what we were doing would make the world a better place. But of course, his idea of a perfect future turned out to be not perfect for everyone. I joined the Academy because I knew that Huntsmen and Huntresses were regarded as the most noble warriors in the world. Always fighting for good. But I never really thought past that. When I leave the Academy, what will I-? How can I undo so many years of hate?" She wonders, looking sad in the eyes.
"I'm sure you'd figure it out. You're not one to back down from a challenge, Blake." Yang reassures her.
"But I am!" Blake retorted. "I do it all the time! When you learned I was a Faunus, I didn't know what to do, so I ran! When I realized my oldest partner had become a monster, I ran! Even my Semblance! I was born with the ability to leave behind a shadow of myself; an empty copy that takes the hit while I run away!" She professed.
"At least you two have something that drives you." Yang turns on her belly. "I've just kinda of always, gone with the flow, y'know? And that's fine, I mean, that's who I am. But how long can I really do that for? I wanna be a Huntress, not really because I want to be a hero, but because I want the adventure. I want a life where I won't know what tomorrow will bring. And that'll be a good thing. Being a Huntress just happens to line up with that. I'm not like Ruby, she's always wanted to be a Huntress. It's like she said, ever since she was a kid, she'd dreamt about being the heroes in the books. Helping people and saving the day, and never asking for anything else in return. Even when she couldn't fight, she knew that's what she wanted to do. That's why she trained so hard to get where she is today." She explains her reasoning for being a huntress.
"Well, she's still just a kid." Weiss sits up from her mat.
"She's only two years younger. We're all kids." Blake does the same up from her mat.
"I wouldn't say the same about Peter." Yang remarks, as the girls stare at the sleeping spider, "He had to become a man when he lost the choice to live an ordinary life after his uncle died. He felt guilty, and decided on that day to use his powers for the greater good, sacrificing his own health, personal life, and relationships for the people of this world and his world." She acknowledges Peter's maturity and sacrifices.
"'With great power comes great responsibility…'. Blake quoted. "That's what his uncle taught him. That's what Peter has been trying to teach us. Being a superhero, or a huntsman, is no bed of roses."
"Well…yeah. I mean, look where we are! In the middle of a warzone and armed to the teeth." Yang remarked.
"It's the life we chose." Blake stated.
"It's a job." Weiss stated. "We all had this romanticized vision of being a Huntress in our heads, but it's like what Peter once said. Being a Huntress isn't a game. It's fate. At the end of the day, it's a job to protect the people. And whatever we want, will have to come second." She states, as the three girls finally understand what it means to be a Huntress, something that the apparently-sleeping Oobleck smiles at when she finishes.
Sometime later…
Yang has taken up watch, allowing for Ruby and Zwei to sleep on the sleeping bag Yang had been lying on. Zwei suddenly wakes and stands up, causing Ruby to wake up, "Huh? Zwei, it's late. Go back to bed." She sees him run off, "Zwei! Zwei! Ugh!" She then wanders out of the building, looking for Zwei, "Zwei! Zwei, where are you? Zwei! Huh?" She spots her dog urinating on some ruins, "Zwei, this is a wasteland! You literally could have done that anywhere!"
"Bark!" Zwei barks, which caught the attention of a mysterious enemy nearby.
BGM-RWBY OST-Mountain Glenn
"What was that?"
Having heard the enemy, Ruby grabs her dog as they hide behind some ruins. They peek out to see two War Goblins and decided to eavesdrop on the conversation. "What was what?" The second War Goblin converse with his pal.
"I thought I heard a Beowolf or…something." The first solider replied.
His pal scoffs in annoyance, "Let's just finish our patrol and get back to base. This place gives me the creeps."
As the Goblin Thugs walk away, Ruby and Zwei sneak around in the background, following them. They eventually reach a ruined building with a pair of metal doors, and Ruby hides behind a corner, holding Zwei out to watch them, "Did they go in yet? One bark means yes."
The sound of the door closing echoes out, meaning they went in, "Bark!"
"Oh! This is it! This is it!" An excited Ruby whispers, bring out a small scroll and tries to call her teammates. However, the screen says 'low signal', "Aw man. We had signal earlier. Come on, we gotta get the others!"
Ruby and Zwei hurry off down the street. However, the asphalt beneath them suddenly sinks before caving in. Ruby grabs onto a ledge and catches Zwei. She tosses him up out of the hole and begins to attempt to pull herself up. However, the ledge she is holding onto breaks off, and she plummets into a huge cave filled with ruined buildings, far below the surface. She lands on a building up against a cavern wall, and as she gets up, a nearby door bursts open to reveal two other Goblin Thugs.
"Freeze!" A guard shouts, as they point their guns at the little huntress.
"Where did she come from?" The other asked.
As the guards walk forward, Ruby backs away only to end up on the very edge of the platform. "You're a long way from home, little girl." A guard taunts her.
Ruby reaches back for her scythe, only to realize that she doesn't have it. Both guards approach her, and one of them grabs her arm, "Hey! Hands off!" Ruby jerks her arm out of the guard's hand and starts punching him. It has very little effect, and he punches her in the face hard enough to knock her down.
"Our king is gonna want to see this one…" A guard says, kicking her in the head hard enough to knock her out.
With the other heroes…
From his mat, Peter's heightened Spider-Sense kicks in as he springs up in shock while his eyes turn to a mystical blue, now that he has fully merged with The Other. "Ruby!" He shouts, waking up his friends.
"Ruby? Where is she?" Yang glances around for her sister, but doesn't find her.
"Something's wrong underground. I-I feel it." Peter sensed.
"You can tell from up here? Is this one of your new powers?" Blake questions if this is a new power granted to him by The Other.
Suddenly, Zwei comes running into the room barking profusely. "Zwei?" Yang kneels to pet her worried dog.
"I felt Ruby fall somewhere, beneath these ruins. We need to hurry!" Peter stands as his clothes light up, instantly switching to his Spider-Man costume.
"Grab your weapons! Your leader may be in trouble." Oobleck orders his students.
With Ruby…
She awakes to the two Goblin guards who caught her dragging her by both arms through the underground city. All around her, Goblin soliders and robots are at work, doing various things such as piloting a recolored Paladin in Goblin colors to carry large shipping containers. There is a loud sound nearby as one of the War Goblins drops a large device.
"Hey, be careful! What are you trying to do, blow us to the moon!"
"Sorry sir!"
And to Ruby's speechless horror, she spots the humongous Goblin Mech looming over the soliders. Like Peter described, it's a roboticized version of classic Green Goblin with wings and a little bulky. It has aspects that were taken from the Grimm, like a bone mask that resembles the Goblin. Its primary color of the robot is black but with enough green and purple accents of the Green Goblin to give it that frighteningly demonic presence to scare an entire kingdom. From the looks of it, the Goblin Mech is deactivated and it hasn't been completed yet, but it's dangerously close to completion any time now.
"Hey, Goblin Knight! Where's the king? Found something you might want to see!" One of the Goblin guards that was dragging Ruby shouts to the man inside a railcar.
"Is it good or bad, Perry? Because let me tell ya, I have had a day." A voice answered, which sounds oddly familiar to the confused Ruby.
"Uh…it's a little girl?" Perry responded.
The Goblin Knight leans out through the doorway and recognizes Ruby, "That would be bad."
Ruby's eyes widen in shock as she recognizes Goblin Knight's voice, and couldn't believe that her arch-enemy was transformed into a goblin, "Torchwick?"
With Spider-Man…
"Wow, big hole." He jokes, carrying his Iron Spider backpack as he and Zwei observes the hole Ruby fell in earlier.
Oobleck and the rest of the team regroups with them, as Yang spots Crescent Rose next to the hole, "Ruby's scythe!"
"Oh no." Blake remarks worriedly.
"You said she fell down here?" Weiss asks Peter as she approaches the hole.
"That's what I felt. Could be wrong. Not used to these new powers. What could be underground?" Spidey wondered.
Oobleck looks down at the hole as he comes to a startling realization, "Oh my…Of course…Of course, of course, OF COURSE!"
"What is it?" Blake asks if something's the matter.
"How could I be so stupid?!" Oobleck berates himself.
"Dr. Oobleck, what's wrong?" Yang asked.
"Forgot to refill your thermos?" Spidey quipped.
"Mountain Glenn!" Oobleck remarks, suddenly talking to each of his student's face while explaining very fast, "Yes, an expansion of Vale that was inevitably destroyed by creatures of Grimm! Previously home to thousands of people! Working people commuting to the city, the main city! Developed a subway system to the inner city! Grimm attacks increased! Population in danger, now desperately searching for shelter! City evacuates into the metro tunnels and what do they find? The southeast quadrant of Vale is known for wild forests and deep caves!"
"Doc, what are you saying?" A highly-confused Yang remarked.
"My dear, we're not just looking for an underground crime network, we're looking for an UNDERGROUND crime network!" Oobleck clarified.
"They've been working in caves?" Blake questioned.
"No, no, Mountain Glenn was Vale's first serious attempt at expansion. It worked for a short period of time, thanks to an aggressive perimeter defense, and unique transportation; the city developed an elaborate subway system to carry citizens safely from the new territory into the main Kingdom! Sadly, without the many natural barriers Vale had to protect its borders, Mountain Glenn was doomed from the start! As the end drew near, the citizens of the territory made one last attempt at survival: They took up shelter beneath the city! In massive caves that they had cleared out for the subway. And they had cut themselves off from the surface!" Oobleck explained.
"A-an underground village?" Yang questioned.
"More like a Goblin Underground." Spidey remarked. "It makes sense for Goblin to hide underground. New York is famous for having plenty of abandoned subway stations that criminals love to take over to build the perfect hideouts away from prying eyes until they're ready to strike from below." He emphasizes by pounding his fist atop of his palm.
"The underground city was a safe haven." Oobleck continues with his history lesson. "Until…an explosion opened the mouth of another cavern, filled with subterranean Grimm. After that, the Kingdom officially sealed off the tunnels, creating the world's largest tomb. If Ruby is down there…" He deploys his flamethrower weapon, "We must find her…"
"Peter, you're our co-leader. What's the plan?" Blake asks the webhead for a plan to raid Goblin's underground base.
Spidey thinks for a moment while staring at the hole. He smirks behind his mask and simply says, "Knock knock."
BGM End
Back with Ruby…
The scarlet huntress gets easily thrown across the floor by the goblinfied Torchwick, "Wow! You are much more manageable without that oversized gardening tool of yours." He laughs. Ruby gets up and charges at the Goblin Knight, which he simply sidesteps, sending the girl stumbling across the floor as he laughs, "Oh man. You know, Perry, I really did need this." As Perry raises his thumb in agreement.
Goblin Knight walks over to Ruby and points his new flaming sword at the frightened child, "Like my new look? This ISO-8 stuff is really something. If I knew it existed earlier, I would've never wasted my time stealing Dust for that woman." He refers to Cinder. "But seriously. How'd you find this place, Red?"
BGM-Mega Man X7 OST-Sigma's Theme
Ruby growls and uses her Semblance to escape Roman and start running for an exit, until she accidently bumped into someone menacingly familiar and was pushed to the ground as the villain laughs, "What's the hurry, child? The apocalypse hasn't even begun."
Ruby shakes her head and looks up with a frightened gasp, as she is being confronted by the looming Goblin King in a new outfit. His new, royal attire consist of a purple armored tunic and armored gauntlets and boots of the same color. As a belt, he wears one with the Goblin emblem and around his knees are black rings of spikes. He also dons a new green cape that flows to the wind.
"Nice new outfit, Goblin. Was there a blowout sale at the bad guy cape store?" Ruby lets out a brave little quip that admittedly got a little chuckle from the Goblin King.
"It's adorable how much of an impact the Spider has had on your useless life. Keep trying, brat, and perhaps one of these days your jokes will annoy me." Goblin laughs. "Speaking of the bug…" He smiles creepily as two Hunter Killers hover by his side, pointing their laser guns at the scared child, "If you're here, then Spider-Man is not far behind." He deduced. "Excellent. I've been anticipating his arrival. We were just about done wrapping up here. I wanted to launch my plans during the Vytal Festival, but there's nothing wrong starting the fireworks early." He presses a button on his gauntlet, which opens a portal underneath his Goblin Mech and transport it to another dimension, "The ISO-Dust Reactor embedded in the Destroyer Goblin was also designed to work as a Convergence Device. So I've sent it to a little pocket dimension I've crafted so my boys could finish it in time for the parade!" He grinned maliciously.
Suddenly, the criminal gang heard a massive explosion, causing Roman to look up in curiosity, "Oh, what the…Perry, if you and the boys could take care of that? Kinda in the middle of something."
Perry nods and goes off to investigate the explosion just as another one sounds, irritating Roman, "WHAT is going on here?!"
"Must be our OTHER uninvited guests." Goblin smiles, having anticipated his enemies to raid his underground sooner or later.
A third explosion sounds and multiple Goblin Soliders come running around the corner, some firing at unknown enemy. Spider-Man suddenly kicks them down as the rest of the heroes run around the corner, much to Roman's annoyance and Goblin's happiness. Ruby decides to take this moment to try and escape. She jumps off a Hunter before it could fire and then flees towards her friends.
"Somebody kill her!" Torchwick shouts, glaring at his arch-nemesis.
He and other soliders were about to fire, until Goblin raises his palm to gesture them to stop, "No. Let her go. She can't run away from fate. Attach this cart and spread the word: We're starting the train. The experiment begins!" He chuckles as he walks away with Goblin Knight, "Now, it is time for me to take care of Ironwood and Cinder once and for all! NO ONE WILL SURVIVE THE GOBLIN'S WRATH!"
BGM End
BGM-Ultimate Spider-Man (Game) OST-Spidey's Rhino Beatdown
Ruby continues to flee but screeches to a halt as she realizes she's running towards a group of Cyber Goblins. Before they fire, a huge explosion appears behind them, sending them flying into pieces and revealing Yang behind them.
"Ruby!" She shouts, as her sister jumps into her arms.
"Are you okay?" Weiss asks her partner.
"I'm fine! I'm fine! But listen…" Ruby jumps down to explain Goblin's plan. "Goblin's got all kinds of weapons and robots down there. He turned Torchwick into a Goblin Knight!"
"Torchwick's a goblin now? Ain't that terrific?" Spidey quipped.
"What?!" Blake remarks while handing Ruby her weapon.
"Androids, mechs, they're all loaded up on the train cars! I saw him teleport his giant Goblin Mech to a pocket dimension!" Ruby informed.
"He must've rebuilt his Convergence Device. Un-good." Spidey quipped.
"Ahhhh, that's ridiculous." Oobleck responded. "Not the different dimension stuff, but the trains! These tunnels are sealed. The tracks lead to a dead-end."
'All aboard the Goblin Train! Get to your places, we are leaving now!' A Goblin Thug announces across the speaker system, as the train starts moving towards the tunnels.
"Well, it sounds like they're going somewhere." Yang quipped.
"We need to find Goblin." Blake suggested.
"Find him…Sure that sounds like a great idea." Spidey quips sarcastically, annoying the faunus. "How come nobody ever says, 'Hey Spidey, I think going after the crazy genetically enhanced madman and his interdimensional army is a BAD idea. Let's wait for help'?"
"Spidey's right." Ruby agreed, even though he was joking.
"I am?"
"We need backup. Let me call Jaune." Ruby takes out her Scroll to make a call, but her phone flashes 'low signal' still. "I can't get through!"
"We ARE how many feet underground?" Peter quipped.
"So, what do we do?" Weiss asked.
"I believe we only have one option…" Oobleck remarked, as Ruby turns around facing the runaway train.
"We're stopping that train!" She declared.
BGM End
With the Goblin Nation…
BGM-RWBY OST-No Brakes
The Goblin Train rushes through a tunnel, loaded with mechs and Spider-Slayers. A goblin thug standing on the train hears a noise and looks outside the train to see rose petals. He brings out a communication device to speak through, "I think they're on the-." until his mouth was webbed and falls down as Oobleck hits him in the head with his weapon.
The Goblin Knight is in the front of the train as a goon rushes in informing him, "Sir! They made it on the train!"
Roman sighs and orders, "Then grab some cargo and get them off the train!" The solider nods and leaves to follow his orders. "Man, goblin animals, every one of 'em." He insults the goblinfied faunus, before awkwardly looking at another goblinfied faunus sitting next to him, "Not you though, you're, heh…you're great."
With the heroes…
They find themselves standing on top of the train as Oobleck gives out their objective, "Hurry, children! We must get to the front and stop this train!"
"Easy peasy." Spidey quipped.
"Seriously?!" Blake turns to the jokester.
"Wouldn't be the first time I stopped a runaway train." He stated.
"Err…Professor?" Weiss speaks.
"Doctor…"
"What's that?" The heiress points down a hatch into the train that's containing a dangerous device.
Oobleck kneels down to take a look, recognizing what that device could be, "That, my dear…appears to be a bomb." He answers casually, causing the girls to cringe away from the hatch.
"And that's bad, right?" Spidey joked.
"Very."
"Good to know."
"We've got baddies!" Ruby points forward on the train, spotting dozens of War Goblins climbing onto the top of the train.
"Well, I didn't expect them to go-." Oobleck stops talking when he heard the bomb start being and charging up underneath them, "-easy on us." He stands up. "Time to go!" As the team start running away, Oobleck stops Blake for a second, "Blake! Detach the caboose! It will kill us all!"
"On it." She jumps down onto the connectors and gets ready to cut the connection, but as she does, the connection comes loose on its own, "Huh?" She looks up at Oobleck, "It decoupled itself!"
"What?!"
"I guess he really doesn't want us on this train." Yang quipped.
As Oobleck looks back at the detached cart, it explodes in the tunnel, "That's not good…"
"Err, neither is this!" Ruby stands next to another open hatch, pointing to another bomb.
"Another bomb?!" Blake remarks in shock.
Oobleck looks around and runs to the next train car, "No. No. No." He opens the hatch and looks in, then yells back to the team, "They ALL have bombs!"
"Could've told ya that with my Spider-Sense, doc!" Spidey quipped.
The bomb under Team RWBYP charges up and starts beeping and the cart they're on detaches itself, forcing Team RWBY to run to the next cart. "This doesn't make sense!" Yang commented.
"NOTHING with Goblin makes sense!" Spidey remarks, as they see more War Goblins, Cyber Goblins, and Spider-Slayers climbing the train to confront them.
"Get the humans!" A War Goblin shouted.
"Can't we all just get along?" Spidey jokes, as the team and Zwei charge forward and stop side-by-side in battle-ready poses.
A War Goblin runs forward and attempts to kick Yang, but Yang kicks his leg to the side with enough force to throw him off balance. While his foot is still in the air, she spins around, lowering herself to the ground, and sweeps his other foot from under him. As he falls, turning upside down in mid-air, Yang stands back up and winks before punching him in the face hard enough to send him through the car's roof hatch.
Blake charges forward, swinging sheathed Gambol Shroud at the War Goblins, first to her right, then left, then right again, knocking down four members. She stops next to another member, placing Gambol Shroud on her back as she does so, before unsheathing its katana and slashing diagonally downward at the member's abdomin. As he falls off the train, Blake turns her attention to the three members surrounding her. She slashes diagonally upward at the first and diagonally downward in almost a complete circle at the second, knocking both off the train. She then turns to the third and slams her fingers against his mask, stunning him, before uppercutting him just before the train passes under a bridge, which knocks him off the train.
Weiss gets a running start before using a glyph to send herself skating forward, while using Dust to trail giant ice crystals behind her. The ice crystals appear to jut toward the edges of the train, pushing organic and robot members off as she passes by. At the end of her speed boost, she swings Myrtenaster at a Cyber Goblin to her right. When she comes to a stop, she begins twirling around and swinging Myrtenaster as she makes her way past more thugs, cutting each of them down with ease.
With a smile on her face, Ruby positions Crescent Rose behind her and fires a shot, propelling herself forward with a blast that takes on the form of rose petals. Her smile changes to a determined look as she flies through the air, and she tilts her scythe until the blade bumps against a train car's roof, which pulls the blade completely backward until it is straight. She then plants her feet on a train car and hits a War Goblin off the train with Crescent Rose's pole.
The blade shifts back into its normal position immediately afterward, and Ruby fires another bullet, the blast, once again made of rose petals, knocking two members off the train. Ruby then swings Crescent Rose while leaping and turning in mid-air, hitting four White Fang members into the air with the back of the scythe's pole. More thugs and rose petals fly through the air, as Ruby continually performs spinning jumps while hitting members into the air with the front of her scythe's pole, the blade slashing through the train cars' roofs. She finally comes to a stop after all of the thugs near her have been hit.
"So does your 'team' have a nickname? How about the Punching Bags?" Spidey quips, pulling himself forward using a web zipline, knocking down all enemies in his path. He flies into a blurry assault with lightning-fast punches and kicks on the thugs, before creating two web hammers as he hops and flails them around to scatter the incoming Hunters. His Spider-Sense warns him to dodge a laser shot fired from a Spider-Slayer as its joined by a few more to attack Spider-Man. "Sorry, Spider-Slayers. You were designed to fight the old me. This new Spidey is a lot stronger and faster." He uses his new speed to appear as a blur, distracting the slayers with afterimages before destroying each of them with one punch thanks to his augmented strength, "I have night vision. Can control spiders. Shoot organic webbing, which is admittedly disgusting. And have razor sharp stingers like I'm the Spider-Wolverine." He unsheathes his new stingers and fiercely slashes more slayers to pieces quite easily, "How do you like this spider now?!" He swiftly spin-jumps into the air, using his organic webbing to construct a large web ball that he fiercely slams down on a group of War Goblins, knocking all of them off the train.
Oobleck turns around and watches the detached train car explode. Only this time it creates a hole allowing multiple types of Grimm to emerge. "Oh…dear…" He comments, watching the horde of Grimm advancing quickly toward the runaway train. "He's leading Grimm to the city!" He told the students.
"What?" Weiss retorts in surprise.
"It's the cars! They detach and explode, creating openings for the Grimm!" Oobleck deduced.
"That's insane!" Blake remarks, as another train car detaches itself.
"Insanity is just a matter of…perspective." The heroes turn around to see the Goblin King riding his Goblin Glider as he hovers over the train menacingly, "I call it genius, but I wouldn't expect you to understand, kitty." He smiles before laughing.
"Goblin!" Spidey confronts his nemesis with a glare.
Goblin returns with a curious stare at Peter's lenses, smiling as he senses something different about him, "Hmm. I see a new clarity in your eyes. Your power no longer troubles you." He sensed that Spidey has conquered and embraced The Other inside him.
"Too bad for you! I'm not the same Spider-Man that I was before! I'm a WHOLE new man and spider that's finally gonna take you down!" Spidey quips, as his lenses glow blue with the power of The Other.
"Spider-Man…That look in your eyes makes me think you might be ready to face me. But I have some new and improved FRIENDS I want you to meet." Goblin grins evilly, as several War Goblins riding their own gliders join their liege by his side, "My newest strand of the ISO-Oz Compound allows me to CONTROL those who have been 'infected'. DESTROY THEM, MY CHILDREN!" He chuckles, before breaking out into a mad cackle while mind-controlling his own henchmen.
"Is there an echo in here, or are there a bunch of psychos out to get me again?" Spidey quips, jumping into the air to fight the henchmen.
"We have to hurry! Spider-Man, take care of those gliders!" Oobleck turns to Weiss, Blake, and Yang, "You three! Go below and try to stop those bombs!"
"What about us?" Ruby asked.
"We're going to stop this train." Oobleck states while standing determinedly.
"Yeah, I know. I said that earlier." Ruby remarks casually, making him lose face.
"I'd like to see you try." A cackling Goblin throws fireballs at the group, as they run forward avoiding them.
As the train continues towards it destination, War Goblins start piloting multiple Goblin Paladins and jump to the top of the train to confront the running combo of Ruby, Zwei, and Oobleck. "Up ahead!" Oobleck shouts, noticing a Paladin charging towards them, "We got a problem!"
Oobleck takes a sip from his thermos before transforming it into its weapon mode, a small flame burning at its tip. Zwei barks, prompting he's ready for an attack. The corgi leaps into the air and curls into a ball as Oobleck pulls his weapon back, and with a powerful swing of his fire-tipped bat, Oobleck sends Zwei, now on fire, toward the Paladin. The mech fires several bullets and is quickly knocked into the air by the flaming dog.
Zwei lands on the roof and victoriously watches as the Paladin falls and is sent tumbling across the ground beside the train, eventually exploding from the abuse it takes. He then watches Ruby and Oobleck run toward him, while wagging his tail, but his attention is soon drawn by another Paladin walking behind him. The Paladin shifts its arms into guns, but before it can shoot, several jets of swirling flame are sent toward it by Oobleck. The flames converge on each other, turning into one massive spiral of flame upon impact with the Paladin. Oobleck then leaps forward, spinning in the air and sending an arc of fire at the mech. The resulting explosion knocks the Paladin off the train and into a wall.
Inside the Goblin Train…
Down below, Yang, Weiss, and Blake enter the train car. "I guess this is what we trained for." Yang said.
Weiss reaches into her pouch and gives Blake a magazine filled with Dust vials, "Here, this should help you."
Blake slides the mag into Gambol Shroud, and then the three of them charge forward. Suddenly, the goblinfied Neopolitan, now known as Menace, drops from the ceiling and blocks their path. "You two go ahead. This one's mine." Yang tells her teammates that she wants a piece of Neo as revenge for helping Torchwick escape last time.
As Blake and Weiss run past Neo, Yang unleashes a shot from Ember Celica, prompting Neo to flip backwards so as to avoid the blast, landing in a crouch. Yang proceeds to walk up to Neo as she stands up, where the two stare at one another, Neo with a smile and Yang with a frown. Yang tightens her fist, and throws a simple forward punch towards Neo's face, which is deflected with a white flash of unknown origin from Neo, causing Yang to stumble back. Neo opens her umbrella, and the fight truly begins.
Yang dashes forwards, unleashing a flurry of several punches, resetting each time instead of redirecting her blows, as Menace simply dodges each attack, moving her body swiftly in order to avoid them in a very laid back, but extremely effective style. With every unsuccessful punch, elbow, and kick, Yang continues moving forward as her last three blows bring her to a knee, where she attempts a roundhouse kick, allowing Neo to deliver a spinning hook kick, knocking Yang to the ground, the former's guard completely open on the left side.
While on the ground, Yang growls in anger, to which Neo responds by performing a drop kick. However, Yang dodges by rolling away, and subsequently springing up to attack once again.
Neo counters through a pull in redirection of force technique, pulling Yang's arm in with her own left arm, and performing a well-executed ax kick to hit Yang on the chin, before kicking Yang in the stomach with a perfect side kick. Neo then begins pushing Yang back via her umbrella, now on the offensive, as Yang tries to counter her movements with Ember Celica. Neo is able to effortlessly push Yang back against a wall, until the latter shoots a blast directly towards the former's feet. Neo, however, backflips effortlessly, and she lands perfectly on a metal container, before sitting, awaiting Yang's next attack.
With Blake and Weiss…
In the next train car, Blake and Weiss are seen running, and then look at each other when they hear the sound of a revving up ahead. It's an Elite War Goblin dragging a chainsaw along the floor. "You go on ahead!" Weiss tells her teammate, planning to fight this guy alone.
"Got it!" Blake responded.
The Elite chuckles menacingly as he holds up his chainsaw. The two Huntresses-in-training charge forward, with Blake deflecting an attack as Weiss flips backward. Weiss delivers multiple strikes at the Elite, knocking him down. She then smiles at Blake as she proceeds to the next car. The Elite gets back up, again chuckling menacingly. "Finally, I get to kill a Schnee…" He confronts her, as the heiress holds up Myrtenaster en garde.
With Blake…
In the next train car, the Faunus stops and grits her teeth when she's greeted by a familiar, yet unfamiliar foe in the form of the mutated Torchwick. "Hello, kitty cat. You miss me? You know, we really gotta stop meeting like this. People are gonna talk…" He taunts her.
A scowling Blake charges forward to attack, feinting and using her Semblance combined with dust to create a fiery shadow of herself. Goblin Knight strikes it and it explodes, propelling him into the air. Blake jumps up and delivers some midair strikes to knock him down, then lands in a fighting stance.
Torchwick throws a pumpkin bomb, as Blake uses Dust to create a stone shadow of herself to take the blow. She leaps overhead and prepares to strike, only to feint again and create another shadow of herself with her Semblance. Roman blocks a flurry of attacks from Blake and tries to strike her with an overhead blow, but she dodges back and creates a frozen shadow that traps his weapon. As he's about to ignite it, Blake performs a vertical slash that sends a shockwave down the train car, destroying the ice sculpture and knocking Roman into the door where he drops his weapon.
As Torchwick attempts to get back up, Blake steps on his chest and points her sword at his throat. He chuckles nervously, "Why are we fighting? I saw you at the rally. We're on the same side, and you know it." He said with a dramatic change in tone.
Meanwhile with Weiss…
The Elite runs towards Weiss as she raises her weapon defensively before using Myrtenaster to draw a pale blue circle in the air, forming a force-field. Cyan shockwaves radiate from the center of the force-field as the Elite tries, in vain, to saw through it. Weiss then knocks him back with a slash from her weapon. The Elite attempts another overhead swipe, but Weiss points her weapon downwards and lets the chainsaw simply run down the side of it, creating sparks but missing her completely. She then spins and slashes him again, knocking him back. She flips gracefully over him, slashing at his head and landing on the other side of him.
He gets up and spins around, viciously swiping towards her sideways with the chainsaw. She acrobatically lowers her body underneath it, dodging the blow and backflipping out of range before attacking in a series of slashes and stabs that throw him into the air and back onto the ground. She flips over him, facing him from another angle.
Rising from the ground, the Elite slashes at her, but she ducks out of the way. After attempting another overhead slash, which she dodges again, he manages to briefly knock her back after the two weapons clash. However, his subsequent kick towards her meets only a pile of boxes, as she leaps onto the ceiling. She spirals downwards with her weapon outstretched, but he steps out of the way. She lands, before getting up, deflecting one of his attacks, performing a backflip and countering with a stab of her own, which sends him flying backwards. As he stands back on his feet, Weiss holds Myrtenaster in front of her and concentrates, mixing yellow Dust with a glyph to create a haste glyph beneath herself. Utilizing her speed powerup, Weiss charges forward and creates a series of glyphs that surround the Elite. She leaps and begins ricocheting off each of the glyphs, slashing him extremely quickly each time she passes him, knocking him to the ground.
Creating another glyph, Weiss attempts to stab him where he lies, but the Lieutenant rolls backwards, preventing her from doing so. She jumps in the air in order to attack him again, but he yells, "C'mere, princess!" and grabs her face before brutally raising her above his head and slamming her into the ground, causing debris to be flung around. He then throws her into the air and slashes at her with his chainsaw.
Meanwhile with Yang…
As Yang approaches her, the goblinfied Neo smiles, taunting her, before Yang unleashes another attack. Neo counters, and begins kicking Yang back. Yang unleashes another blast from Ember, which Neo blocks. The two spar briefly, hand to hand, before Yang grabs Neo's foot, and pulls her closer to throw her, only for Neo to perfectly counter, before grappling Yang and using her momentum to throw her into the ceiling, knocking her unconscious.
Meanwhile with Blake…
Roman grunts as she points her blade at his throat, "Oh, still feisty. Soooo, what are we gonna do now? You think a little bow on top is gonna make people forget who you were? What you've done...?"
As she grits her teeth at his words, Blake hears the door from the previous train car open behind her. An unconscious Weiss is thrown to the floor, with the Elite emerging from the doorway, holding his chainsaw.
"So what's it gonna be, Blake?" Torchwick taunts her.
She sheaths Gambol Shroud and kicks Roman in the face, knocking him unconscious. Blake goes over to Weiss' aid, and flees immediately before the Elite can reach them.
Meanwhile with Yang…
Menace slowly approaches the unconscious hero, pulling out a small, cylindrical blade from her umbrella. As Neo raises the blade, ready to kill Yang, Raven suddenly drops into the car from a portal. Raven charges toward her and swings her sword, Neo moves away, just barely managing to dodge the strike. Right when Neo stops, the masked woman spins around and slashes her across the abdomen before she can block, knocking her back. Raven sheathes her sword and changes her blade in her sheath's revolving chamber. When the woman draws her sword again, the blade telescopes, becoming even longer than the blade she had just used on Neo. Upon realizing how dangerous the situation had become, Neo seemingly teleports away.
Raven looks down at her still unconscious daughter, and slashes her sword to the side, opening an eerie red portal. She walks away from Yang and into the portal. At that moment, Yang regains some consciousness and slowly gets back up. As she opens her eyes again, she gets a brief glimpse at her mother before the she disappears. Yang rubs her head, still reeling after just regaining consciousness, before standing up and leaving the scene.
Meanwhile with Ruby and Oobleck…
The doctor dodges a couple swipes from the Goblin Paladin, and then runs to the top of its head, and shoots it in its engine before jumping back down. Ruby twirls Crescent Rose around a few times, and then she and Oobleck fire simultaneously at the Paladin's feet, knocking it off the train. The both of them switch positions. "Ruby! You go on ahead!" Oobleck orders his student.
"But-!"
"Don't worry, Ruby. It's time… I teach them a lesson..." The doctor goes to take on two oncoming Paladins. Before she leaves, Ruby notices the saddened Zwei looking up at her. She smiles and motions for him to go join his new friend.
"Go."
With that, Zwei expression changes dramatically and barks happily before running off to fight alongside the Doctor. Ruby hurries to the front of the train. The remaining members of Team RWBY reemerge from the train cars to rejoin their leader.
"Where's Spider-Man?" Weiss asks her friends.
Before they search for him, the girls spot the flying War Goblins get knocked off their gliders as Spider-Man lands in a heroic pose in front of his teammates. "Bad kids…luckily I was here to put them in their place…little dizzy here." He jokes.
The whole team hears fists pounding and cracking together as they look up to see the grinning Goblin King staring and hovering above them on his glider. "Hey, Gobs. Don't suppose we can take a time out or press the pause button or something…my thumb is getting tired." Spidey quips to his nemesis.
"The fun is only just beginning, Parker." Goblin grinned maliciously. "You killed my old family, you annoying pest. And now my new family is gonna return the favor a THOUSAND times over!" He cackles maniacally, riding his glider through the air as he flies into a dimensional portal he opened.
Spidey and Ruby look on worriedly as they realize the train is on a collision course with a thick concrete wall. "What do we do?" Blake asks her leaders. Ruby and Weiss smile at each other, and the latter forms an ice shield to protect her teammates, bracing themselves for the impending crash and the following explosion.

Luckily, the team managed to survive the crash as Spider-Man shakes his head and slowly regains his vision. "Ah man…What's that noise…?" He hears the sound of an emergency alarm blaring. Slowly turning his head, he spots the semi-unconscious Ruby next to him, "Rubes…you alright?" He asks her.
"Uhhh…Think so." Ruby weakly responded.
Spidey turns his head to the lower right and sees Blake and Yang slowly getting back up, with the blonde coughing as the dust settles. He turns his head again and sees Weiss sitting up against a large piece of debris, who also gives a thumbs up at her leaders signaling she's okay. The two leaders sit back up and then notice, much to their chagrin, they have returned to the central part of Vale, and multiple civilians in the area notice them among the debris. Spider-Sense tingles like crazy as Peter hears the sound of low rumbles and growls from behind him. Suddenly, a giant King Taijitu emerges from the hole, and multiple Grimm start pouring into Vale. The civilians scream as they attempt to flee the chaos. The sounds of screams and roars fill the air, and all Team RWBY and Spider-Man can do is watch in horror.
This amount of chaos and destruction was enough to light a spark inside Spider-Man's soul, as the determined webhead calmly walks forward, away from his teammates as he approaches a Grimm horde rampaging towards him. As he continues to calmly approach the rampaging Grimm, he tugs the strap on his backpack. Suddenly, the backpack morphs all around his body, equipping him in a red and gold suit of hi-tech armor that silently amaze Team RWBY. He swiftly summons his four spider-legs while simultaneously activating his Perfected X-Aura, charging up repulsor energy in his palms and waldoes, then fires and converges all shots in a singular spot to unleash one gigantic, devastatingly powerful beam that blasts through a street and utterly annihilates the Grimm horde that was in his way, leaving Team RWBY utterly speechless of the power of his hi-tech suit.
"Let's go." Spider-Man declares war against the Grimm, standing in a badass firing pose with his waldoes, powered up with his blue X-Aura while equipped in the Iron Spider Armor.

ssjmichael26: You're comparing "Comic Book" Spider-Man with "United Heroes" Spider-Man. This series' Spider-Man is a "modern" take on the character that takes inspiration from the TV shows and games, while the character from the early issues of the comic was from decades ago with outdated writing. These are two separate characters written from two different time periods. Realistically, having being Spider-Man for two years is enough for Peter to grow as a character and show more confidence, especially when characters like Flash have become nicer to him. And about Goblin, even if he doesn't hate, he's not someone you can easily forgive after killing his girlfriend, harmed his friends and family for years and started a Dark Reign.
Nexus240: The battle between Spider-Man and The Other was mainly inspired by the fight between Hulk and Devil Hulk from the video game, "The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction". It's pretty obvious from the dialogue alone.
