Prologue

"I should go up there and help him." Miles Morales was on the sidelines watching Spider-Man be restrained by the Green Goblin, who was utterly monstrous. By his side was the Prowler, who gave him a pretty good fight. "Who am I kidding? I should not do that!"

That's when he heard large footsteps as a figure walked into the control room that seems to power the strange machine Spider-Man is on.

"You like my new toy? It costed a fortune, but you can't take it with you, right?" He walked in the control room facing Spider-Man, still restrained. "You came all this way. Watch the test. It's a hell of a freakin' light show. You're gonna love this." That's when the lights came on, prompting Spider-Man to try and talk him out of what he's gonna do.

"No! No! Don't do this! Stop! You don't know what it can do, you'll kill us all!" But it was to no avail as a device was lowered into the middle of the machine. And then… BAM! The two sides merged together, covering the box and making black Kirby dots appear. A scientist starts to see its effects and starts getting worried.

"I see multiple dimensions opening! 3… 4… 5… 6 separate dimensions!" A display showed their home dimension, E-1610. However, more popped up, including E-616, E-65, E-90214, E-14512, E-8311, and E-5509. That's when a dimensional quake ensued, prompting visual glitches throughout New York, including a traffic light merging with different ones, appearing different in style, some black-and-white-ish, some anime-ish, some cartoonish, and some plant-ish. The Brooklyn Bridge also glitches out, switching to different forms, leaving everyone confused. As this is happening, Spider-Man distracts Green Goblin.

"Hey, Norm. What's your take on head trauma?" A ceiling tile hits him, making him release him. "I tried to warn ya, pal." Spider-Man webs to the ceiling to disable the machine but Goblin got back up and caught him. He then lowered him down into the beam, even as Kingpin was telling him not to. As he went further into the beam, he saw a strange dimensional plane of webs. Then he glitched unexpectedly, getting glimpses of other people. As he glitched, the machine began to malfunction more until it couldn't take it. The beam exploded, sending out a shockwave that briefly caused a power outage. To no one's knowledge, six balls came blasting out of the wave…

Meanwhile, in E-5509…

"Alright, let's start at the beginning one last time."

"My name is Jordan C. James."

"And my name is Viney."

"We used to be two different people who would do anything for each other. He's there for me when I need help walking due to my handicapped-ness, and I help him whenever he runs into trouble on the lawn. One day, an extraordinary thing happened: I was bitten by a radioactive spider, which was complemented with a super-empowering blast. Since then, for three months, we have become the duo known as the one and only… Spider-Vine."

"We're pretty sure you know the rest. We plant Plants, fight Zombies, are a part of a team of Heroes, you know, like a weekly thing. Every day it's the same routine: we fight the Zombies, drive them away, and live to fight another day. Little did we know that on this day… things… would be different…"

The Zombie Heroes were invading Suburbia (the Backyard Battleground, to be exact) and the Plant Heroes were in the process of driving them off. Spider-Vine was fighting Rustbolt, which wasn't that hard when they got the skillset of a Spider plus multiple Plant seeds at their disposal.

"Hold still, you mutant!"

"Mutant is such a strong word," said Viney. "We prefer the word 'duo'!" This quip was followed by them unleashing a Shamrocket, heading straight for him.

"Dang it." He was blasted away to Zomboss Mansion. The others were pretty much finishing their battles. They all landed in the middle of their Backyard Base, where Crazy Dave was there to congratulate them. He actually speaks in gibberish most of the time but he can speak normally too.

"Nice goin' guys! You knocked those Zombies back to the ground for us all to live another day!"

"Thanks," said Viney. "You know, the same old, same old. Sometimes, we wish for something… more to happen. We do have the Zombie battles and occasional story elements but you see, we just- wait, what is that?" Viney pointed to a strange-looking dot on the ground. It was moving around a bit, which confused everyone. But then, it expanded into some weird-looking vortex that looked like it was from a comic book. As it opened, Spider-Vine started to glitch out a bit, which worried everyone.

"What the-?!" Jordan and Viney's confusion escalated as they were suddenly lifted off the ground. They realized that the vortex was starting to pull them in. They tried to web themselves to the ground, attempting to not get sucked in. Rose was the first Hero to help them out, and she was followed by everyone else. But alas, the hole was too strong and the two circled around it until they finally fell in. After this, the portal closed. Everyone kind of stood in silence, trying to process what just happened.

"So," said Grass Knuckles, admittedly confused. "What just happened?"

It was weird. One minute, they were in his world of talking Plants that fight Zombies. The next, they were in this weird looking dimensional plane of webs. They're also glitching out a bit, which they did not notice as they were being thrown around before being sent to one part of the web in particular.

E-1610

Six balls blasted out of the shockwave. One of them featured Spider-Vine, who was trying to catch his balance as he was launched into the air. He came back down, smashing among the walls and streets until he finally stopped, smacking against a billboard.

"It was weird. We were no strangers to cities, mainly because most of them were filled with Zombies, but this one looked… normal. And apparently, they had a Spider-Man. Who was apparently dead. But this was only the start of it."

"Hey, what is that?" A man came over and look at Spider-Vine, who flinched back in defense. "Whoa, whoa, I'm not gonna hurt you, I just wanna know who you are."

"You know," said Viney, "it's considered rude to just approach without asking."

"Hey, that thing TALKS!"

"I am a PLANT, sir. You know what, I have to go… somewhere…" The two dashed away, hoping to get away before more people question their existence. But then he remembered: he had no idea where to go. He was in a new world where everything is different and there was no person that would know anything… except… but no, there CAN'T be one in this universe… can there?

The next day…

It was a glum afternoon. The city was still grasping the fact that their beloved hero, Spider-Man is actually dead. Right now, everyone was gathered around Saint Patrick's Cathedral for the memorial of their hero. Jordan and Viney were watching on one of the rooftops, listening to someone by the name of Mary Jane Watson, who was apparently the widow.

"Sounds like this Peter Parker had a full life ahead of him…" Viney was saddened by the funeral, as was Jordan.

"Yeah. Just like mom…" They both teared up but kept a strong face and continued watching. Once the ceremony ended, they decided that whatever brought them here was the likely reason for Peter's death. They decided that their best bet for finding out what happened is to find the first laboratory they could find. But first, they have to blend in to keep suspicions low…

It was nighttime and the two were currently planning on settling in for the night. It took a while, but they ended up buying a large trenchcoat to keep themselves covered, so luckily no more people were hounding them and asking them what they were supposed to be. Unfortunately, they could not find out where they would have to go, so they figured that their best bet would be to wait in an alley until the morning comes.

Before they could go to sleep, however, they felt something. It was a strange harmful sensation that ran through both of them. It was like they were glitching out as they flashed and jerked around violently. It was definitely a painful situation for them as Jordan was now inside of Viney, pained.

"What… was that?"

"We just… glitched…"

"But how did that happen?" Jordan made a theory as he slowly came out of Viney's bag.

"Maybe our atoms really don't like being in another dimension…"

They glitched again briefly, proving this. They need to find out how to solve this and fast, prompting them to get back up and think of a way to resolve this. As the two got back up, they started walking around, trying to find out more about how he died. Walking around, he saw the giant screen in the center that previously advertised his death. It was detailing a company called Alchemax, demonstrating a secret project; it was the first fully-functioning machine that can open gateways to other dimensions. Spider-Vine immediately deduced that this machine was responsible for bringing them here and began to ask around for directions on how to get there. They were eventually told of a bus that travels between the city and Hudson Valley, the city which Alchemax is located. While they were glad to hear this, they probably won't be able to pay for it because they figured their money wouldn't work.

But they figured it was worth a try. See, the main form of currency that their dimension uses is bills and coins. They thought that maybe this dimension could accept it given how similar it looked. Getting directions to the bus depot, the two did have trouble buying a ticket at first due to their funds. They were forced to sulk as a woman walked by.

"Aw, are you okay, sir?"

"Yeah, it's just… I wanted to buy a ticket to get to Hudson Valley but my funds don't work here."

"Aw, you poor thing… you know what? I'm going to Hudson Valley. If you'd like, I can buy a ticket for you."

"Oh, that is so sweet! Thank you!" After buying her and Jordan's ticket, the two boarded the bus for what would be a two-hour ride. They then got to know each other.

"I'm sorry, what was your name?"

"Sarah Smith."

"Cool!"

"Do you have a name?"

"Oh, well, I'm not so sure if I should be telling you… it's kind of weird…"

"Nonsense! Just tell me!"

"Well, okay…" He removed his trenchcoat, revealing Viney.

"Hello, ma'am! My name is Viney!" He shook her hand, which left her intrigued. "And my name is Jordan James."

"Oh, it's uh… nice to meet you… two…"

"Yeah, it's a long story…"

During the bus ride, the two just chatted, knowing that they might not see each other after this. Though they did promise to chat every one and a while before they eventually reached the bus stop.

"Well, good luck with your job!"

"Good luck with whatever your problem is!" The two parted ways before Viney stared at the forest, seeing this as a way to get some sleep. Finding the perfect space between some trees, Viney made himself into a hammock, rocking themselves to sleep, ending this weird day...

AU: So in honor of the upcoming one-year anniversary of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, as well as my recent rewrites, mainly for my DC Super Hero Girls fanfic, SuperLife, I decided to do a complete rewrite of my Spider-Verse/Plants vs. Zombies story. It's still taking place before Battle for Neighborville in case you were wondering so no mention of that for now.

I decided to have Spider-Vine be the first person Miles and Peter B. meet, just before they enter Alchemax, just because I think there's more interaction potential.

So, not much to say for now since I just wanted to give some info about how this is gonna go down.

Well, as always, leave a review! Never hurts to help!
