I know is not working properly, but the chapter is ready and out on the other platforms, so I kinda have to drop it. I'll make sure to remind everyone next week to check it if it's not working by then.

"Outstanding." Izmird said, "Both the Stormlord and the Greed taken down not by enemies of their own size, but by the concerted effort of many. Wouldn't you agree that this is an extraordinary show of resourcefulness?"
"It's proof we can defeat you, I suppose." Itsuka replied, and Izmird laughed.
"Perhaps it is. If you were still that strong, that is. How many people did you lose in those fights? Why, just now you lost, I believe, Chimera, Revenant, and perhaps the Green Scar, Canary and Arsenal too." He smiled as he noticed the woman suddenly shift on the seat, "Yes, I hope you don't think I didn't collect information in my own way. I know you might have lost most of your strongest fighters just now."
He could tell she wanted to say no and refuse his generous offer. Humans tended to be very emotional, and right now she was definitely thinking that there was a way for her to defeat him.
"I don't want to." Said someone else. He turned, to look at Deku. He had stood up from his chair, as if it made any difference. Izmird's elvish disguise might have been shorter, but he was definitely still taller than the ten. "I refuse to side with you. I won't help you take over the Multiverse."
"A portion of it. And really? Even if All for Deku might be differently inclined?" Izmird let a smile grace his face, "I told you, Deku, I do not care who works for me. You interest me, but I have my ways to force you into compliance, if you won't submit on your own, and I do not care who rules your little patch of universes." He saw Deku's eyes land on the ring on his right hand, and nodded.
"You just admitted you would be defeated if the League came after you all at once."
"I would be, alone. But this was a great test to prove I won't be. All I have to do is summon more strong fighters, while taking control of those they defeat. If three of those pushed you this far, what will happen when I double, or triple, or quadruple that amount?"
"I thought conquest wasn't your ideal." Huanli commented, "In short, you just plan to force us to bow the knee in the face of your supposed 'superior strength'."
"I have an interest in taking over the League, enough that I can afford myself to be somewhat blunt in my desires." Izmird admitted, "I dislike the idea of imposing my will on you and turning you into puppets, because I fear this will make you malleable to my… our enemies. But if the choice is that or losing the option of expanding my domain entirely, I don't believe this is a choice. I think I made my intentions abundantly clear."
Itsuka slammed a fist on the table, and snorted. Izmird wasn't surprised by the change in attitude, because he could see the woman's eyes. She was furious. He had touched a nerve, it seemed. Interesting…
"You know, the last person that told me I had no choice but submitting or dying was a man called Tenko Shimura. He was the leader of the All for One and an incredible asshole. You know what happened to him?"
"You killed him, I assume." Izmird grinned, "Am I supposed to feel intimidated?"
"No, you are supposed to listen. Here is my counter offer, Izmird the Emeraldine." He raised an eyebrow again. Hearing his title was surprising, given he hadn't shared it. Then again, he supposed that the woman had either found out thanks to her companions or her own ability. Hard to say. "You surrender the ring and Kai. You go back home, back to your own domain. We won't come hunt you down in exchange."
Izmird couldn't help it. He snorted. This human thought she could give him orders?! How daring! Bold of her, he supposed, but stupid. So very stupid. He could see why she hadn't tried to trick him – he was a skilled mind reader, and would find out, and thanks to Deku they were aware – but to think she would turn down his generous offer…
"How unfortunate. But maybe this was already fated. Very well." Izmird lurched forward, hands trying to grab Itsuka, but she jumped back. Good reflexes, he admitted. Hawks shot up from his chair, ready to fight and die on his side, but Deku and Huanli seemed to have the same realization as they both attacked the feathers user as one, the man going limp and then losing consciousness entirely as a fist hit his chin and another his stomach.
"Three to one, Izmird." Itsuka replied.
"You are right." Izmird smiled, "Let me fix those odds for you."
He snapped his fingers, and a flash of light enveloped the entire room.
-x-
Dekirn stumbled as a magic circle appeared on the tower's stairs, a blinding white light almost grabbing at him.
-x-
Argali watched the magic circle in the center of the garden suddenly light up. Just as he was about to tell Merino, a blinding light shot out of the circles around the garden, enveloping the whole Garden.
-x-
Ojiro and Izumi rushed away from the magic circle that suddenly appeared next to them, a blinding light enveloping them quickly.
-x-
Canary grunted as he stumbled back to his feet. The singer didn't take long to notice he seemed to be the only one still up. No, wait, as he thought that, a few figures managed to push through the rubble.
The Green Scar was the first, standing up and coughing. He had a large gash on his cheek, undoubtably the result of the attack. "Are you ok?!" Canary asked, rushing next to him.
"I think so. How did you…"
"Got the right song." Canary replied, "Not my genre usually, but Indestructible at least works."
"And here I had to combine Blackwhip and One for All to cushion that hit enough." He looked around, "Anyone else up and alive?"
"That's a complicated question." A new voice said, and they turned to see Revenant emerge from the rubble of the house he had been slammed into. Something looked… off about him. His eyes felt colder, but they also felt more innocent, like looking in a frozen lake during a still winter morning, when before Canary had always seen a fire burn behind those eyes.
"Are you ok, Revenant?" The Green Scar asked.
"Passed out." He admitted, "But I'm sure I can help." He quickly added, leaning on the blade of Artorias.
Canary hummed and looked around, until he spotted the missing person. Chimera laid on the ground, unmoving, and Canary rushed towards him, fearing the worst.
The good news what that he found Chimera still alive. The bad news was that he was missing an entire arm. It looked like it had been ripped off at the shoulder, and the man was bleeding profusely from the wound. 'Shit…' Even using Stitches, Canary wasn't sure he could entirely close the wound, deep and large as it was. He put a hand on his hear. "Slice! We need you, now! Chimera is…"
"He is coming!" Slice shouted in response, before appearing in the middle of the road. She looked at Chimera's wound and gasped, biting her lower lip. "Get ready." She hissed, and then jumped toward Chimera and teleported him away, just as a white light enveloped the road.
When it vanished, Canary was in the middle of a crowd. Argali, Merino, Spider-Man, Deku, Itsuka, Huanli, Ojiro, even Clockwork holding up a wounded, passed out Arsenal, her gun arm bent and broken, likely because she had used it to block the final attack of the Greed. Clockwork stood next to her, likely saved by the other One for All user from being hit.
"What is…"
"Don't let him touch you!" Itsuka shouted, jumping in the way as suddenly another Izuku – an unassuming one with elvish feature that they hadn't even noticed at first – rushed Canary.
Then it registered. An elvish Izuku. Izmird.
"Everyone!" Itsuka shouted, batting aside the hand with the back of her fist, but warily making sure to dodge every consecutive blow from said arm, "It's Izmird! He has a ring he can use to control you! Don't let him touch you!"
Izmird smiled, kicked toward Itsuka – with enough strength to launch her back, Canary catching her and stumbling in turn – and then took several steps back. "You heard her." The elf said, and his voice was… wrong. It was a low grumble, a roar that made Canary instinctively take a step back in fear. "I wish to acquire your services. Surrender now, and I promise I will grant you control over your own world. Fight me, and I will be forced to be more… insistent." He smiled, "Your choice, League for All."
Itsuka rushed forward first, slamming her fist against Izmird's face… only to impact an invisible force field, stumbling back. Deku, who had tried to go around, brought down an axe kick, but the barrier blocked that too, with Izmird not even bothered. Itsuka looked around. "Listen up, everyone!" She shouted, "This is it! Arkin is dying, Kai is safe in the tower, and you are all free! All that's left is to take down this dragon and ensure he can never take over the Multiverse!"
Canary looked at Izmird. The elf Izuku seemed amused as each of his opponent took a combat stance. By chance or by design, the enemies he would face were mostly Izukus, the sole exceptions being Ojiro, Itsumi and in a sense Arsenal, even if Clockwork was taking the chance to put her delicately down in a corner of the road. He grabbed something from her hear, and Canary supposed he was talking with Slice using Arsenal's communicator.
"I take you have opted for combat." Izmird commented. Canary gulped, feeling that dread once more, "Very well. I frankly expected this. Humans are stubborn animals. Sometimes, lessons have to be taught. Carrot and stick and all that nonsense the farmers of my world say." He bowed, "Come then. You bled and cried to get this far, and now I grant you an audience with the King of Dragons. Use your time wisely."
-x-
Izmird hadn't gone insane, no matter what each of them might be thinking. On the surface, this was a tantrum, but he had more than a simple grudge as a reason for his decision.
In the establishment of power, one had to carefully calculate the use of violence against the use of diplomacy. But in this case, those were warriors. They weren't here to parlay and come to an agreement, they were here to defeat him and those that he had taken under his control.
Violence was their whole involvement in this affair. He had decided to offer them a chance at parlay, but truly the time he had given there served to intimidate and push them further into a corner. To see if they would crack under the pressure and fold, trying to please him, or if they would react like cornered beasts. And like cornered beasts, they inevitably lashed out, trying to defeat him.
All Izmird had to do now was defeating them, showing that he was too strong for them to defeat at the present, and then take control of enough of them he could comfortably negotiate with the remaining League members.
Of course, he was aware this was, in some way, a bet. He wasn't ignorant of the possibility of failure, and the Greed's corpse was a clear indicator of what could happen if the power was not wisely directed. However, Izmird was a Dragon King. He had ruled over vast regions of his home world, and it wasn't the first time overwhelming odds were stuck against him.
He was going to defy them and come out victorious, as usual. He would win. And he would start by getting rid of their support.
He vanished, and reappeared right next to the passed out Kaina Tsutsumi. And as he expected, in Kaina's defense appeared Kiruka Yagi, the One for All wielder that had been using her powers to carry off the wounded. Her red eyes went wide seeing Izmird next to her, but he just smiled and moved his ringed hand forward. Slice had no choice but to Teleport away again, Izmird humming. 'Willing to sacrifice Arsenal? Or just a failure to grab her?' He wondered, intrigued.
Four people that weren't Izuku were left on the field. Itsuka Quanteng, Huanli Quanteng, Itsumi Midoriya and Kiruka Yagi. He had collected those information cross-referencing Izumi's and Jack's memories of the League, and he had a decent idea of the capabilities of most of them. But Kiruka Yagi was a bit of a mystery. She hadn't fought Jack before, unlike Itsuka, and she hadn't shown particular skills when encountering Izumi. Izmird didn't know enough about her abilities to make a judgment.
He turned in time to see the so called Green Scar and Merinoriya both attack him, but his shielding spell was still active, and both attacks, while they did crack the barrier, weren't enough to break it. He smiled and extended his hand, casting a new spell.
Black, thorny vines emerged from the ground and aimed at the enemies that were trying to crack his barrier. Merinoriya had the good sense of jumping back, and the Green Scar did too, but Izmird had seen the fights, and knew who he wanted to target first.
Canary was enveloped so quickly he didn't even have the time to process it before Izmird started dragging him in, more black thorns extending outward to grab and drag in also anyone that would try to intervene, as Revenant learned when his attempt at cutting them ended with the sword caught in more vines and the blade user forced to let it go. He stepped back – stumbled, actually, unusual from what he had seen of him, but Clockwork swung in and used Blackwhip to get him out of arms way before Izmird could trap him too.
A fist slammed on his shield, and he glanced behind his back to see both the Green Scar and Merino were trying to ram in through the other side, while Zombie and the Spider-Men tried to attack from above, the former transformed in some sort of monster, the others using punches and kicks. He could feel the hits make a dent on his magic power. Luckily, he was an almost infinite well of it, it was inconsequential. Let them try to punch their way through, but even their strongest hitters like the Green Scar lacked the power to make a crack in one hit, and the shield would repair immediately after the blow, so long as he had magic.
"I want to break free, I want to break free…" He heard Canary sing, and turned in time to see the grasp he had on his body grow loose, as if the spell was working incorrectly. He forced more vines his way. "God knows, god knows I'm falling in love…" Canary kept singing, the new vines letting him go even more loosely and dropping the sword as well, "Oooooh I want to break free!"
The vines stopped holding him entirely, and the man immediately rushed away. In response, Izmird retreated them. 'Tch, I should have taken the risk and blocked his mouth…' He thought. He had purposefully held back from doing so, fearing he would damage Canary's Quirk and thus its usefulness, but this was clearly not good. He would take note of that. For now, though, there was still more he could do.
He looked up, staring at Zombie's transformed form and the Spider-Men. "I suppose I can start with them, then.
And he opened his mouth, a pillar of fire sprouting out of it.
-x-
Spider-Man was used to his Spider-Sense saving his bacon. One could say it was the only reason he was still alive at all, and he wouldn't have fought that notion.
He had only heard it ring so strongly once before, and that had been when facing the Stormlord earlier, when the pillar of fire had almost killed him, Superior and a whole lot of his companions.
He jumped out of the way, trying to drag Zombie with him, but he was just a bit too slow. The raging fire enveloped the man's monstrous form, who roared in pain and launched himself to the side, in his pain dragging Spider-Man before the fire made the webs melt and snap.
Spider-Man jumped on the wall of the house the Chimera – that was what Zombie had become – slumped on the ground, fuming, and slowly reverting back to a burnt and panting Zombie.
"Really… Really glad I chose Chimera there." Zombie replied, trying to stand up only to slump to the ground. "I think my muscles are badly burnt." He added, "This is gonna suck."
"You don't look in much pain."
"I don't feel much pain, but I'm not of any use right now if I can barely move beyond limping." He replied, "Whatever else I turn into will suffer more, and if I stay Zombie I'm very flammable."
Spider-Man nodded. Yeah, he had seen enough zombie movies to know that was one way to deal with them. "Slice…"
"On it." She said, appearing in the room, "Come on, I'm taking you to the healing area. Spider-Man…"
"I know." He raised his hand, "We need to put the plan into motion as soon as possible. How long will it take to do the jump?"
"If I keep going like this? I'm fairly sure that I need at least five minutes to put together the energy for a Multiverse jump, and it's growing with every Teleport I use." She grimaced, "And that's assuming everything goes to plan…"
Spider-Man nodded, and then jumped back out of the building. 'At least five minutes…' He grimaced. If Canary could help, they had about three minutes of his ultimate move, and then maybe another three if he added a song he was less sure about. That should have covered what they needed, but it still required everything on Kiruka's side to go without hitch.
"We need to get that barrier down!" He shouted toward Superior. The other Spider-Man was about to answer with something clearly sarcastic – Oh thank goodness, Spider-Man was getting worried he had found the only killjoy version of himself in the Multiverse – when the air stilled and then the Spider-Sense told him to jump. Turning around while doing so, he noticed Izmird had launched an explosion against Merino, Argali and the Green Scar. Spider-Man cursed and jumped in, grabbing the still Argali and dragging him in. He put his hear to his chest and sighed in relief, feeling it still beat. Calling Kiruka, he jumped back around and landed on a roof, where the woman appeared, murmured a 'six' and then vanished with Argali in her arms.
"Alright, we need to take this down fast…" He decided. He looked at the field from above, as Superior landed next to him.
"Any ideas to break that barrier?" The Spider-Man asked. Uh, it was the first time he asked anyone's opinion. So all it took was a dragon-elf camping on them from behind a magic wall to make him do that. Good to know.
Spider-Man looked at the Green Scar. He was the one closest to breaking through, hence why Izmird was pretty much ignoring everyone else, even Merino and Itsuka, and focusing on him. Even then, while his fist made the sound of a cannon ball, had cleared the sky of any form of cloud, and were this close to break through, they still needed more power.
'More power…' He looked around. Dekiru, Clockwork and Deku had the same One for All, but they lacked the level of control and could only dish out lower percentages of the power. Itsumi had a lower power version, even if her Quirk made up some of the difference. Canary was completely different, but he had to save at least some of his music power for the final part of their plan, so he was stuck playing mostly support. Itsuka was on the same boat, and Huanli wasn't as destructive. Merino had a version of One for All a bit lower in raw power compared to the other Izukus. Revenant, Ojiro, Izumi and Piper… they were strong, but didn't really count as much in the power department.
And Izmird was smart enough to stop them from focusing all at once on one point.
'If the One for All users could fuse it would be easy, but like this-' And then it came to mind. "I have an idea."
"I bet it's terrible." Superior said, "Doc's words, not mine."
"… You know, I have a feeling I know what's going on with you, but let's put that aside. How much do you know about the Marvel universe?"
"… You could say enough."
"So what do you think would happen if we…" He explained the plan, and saw his eyes first grow wide, then thoughtful.
"It's a terrible idea." Superior finally said.
"But would it work, in your opinion?"
"Possibly. It's a big bet, and it depends on the other two. I would reconsider, but you are Parker's protegee. I will trust your bad luck will stop hindering you the moment you get near the Villain." Superior said.
"Doc's words?"
"Half of it, the other half is mine." The Spider-Man said with a smile.
"Cool." Spider-Man jumped off the roof. He needed Dekiru and Canary, now.
-x-
"Izumi!" Huanli shouted, Deku landing next to her.
"Good to see you guys. And you too, Revenant." She added, when Revenant, sword in hand, stepped back and landed next to them.
"Uh? Oh, hi." The swordsman replied, and Izumi frowned. What was that? He sounded… not very Revenant-y, as far as she could tell.
"It's nice that you found each other, but could you all do this after we are done with this fight?!" Ojiro shouted.
Izumi nodded. Ojiro had shown up out of nowhere, following Fuyumi's communicator's signal, to help Kiruka make sure she was ok and transport her out if she wasn't. They had barely done that before the teleportation spell had dragged them there. "Problem is, I don't have any ideas."
"None of your powers…" Huanli started, and Izumi bit her lip.
Right, there was a way, maybe. She had a Pact with She Who Bears Gifts, and that meant she could technically ask anyone at any time if they wanted a Deal. If he did that now…
The problem was, there wasn't a right deal for this. The Barrier-Crushing Deal, 'Hey, Teacher!' was already taken, she knew that from experience. The deal would likely let someone slip through the walls, but that would just put them in the situation of facing the Dragon alone.
Also, she had a reason to not spread those powers, if Oboro was right.
"No." She finally said, and Huanli grimaced. Deku nodded, and instead looked around, before frowning.
"Guys, where are Dekiru, Canary and Spider-Man?" He asked.
-x-
"It's a terrible idea. And I don't mean a 'might go wrong', I mean a 'playing dices with death' kind of scenario." Canary said, before glancing at Dekiru. He was already nervous, having been dragged away from the fight, but then that was Spider-Man's big plan.
"Not… Not necessarily." Dekiru offered hesitantly, "I mean, I can keep up a three-people fusion for a while still, and I… I can use that song, I think."
"And do you know if that will help? Sure, Spider-Man let you use One for All better, but now both your arms are bruised and on the verge of breaking."
"Well then it's lucky we won't need his arms for this." Spider-Man countered.
Canary glared at him, "We don't know what it will do."
"Well, I for one have a very strong image, and so do both of you if I'm right." Spider-Man replied, Canary grimacing. He did, and that was what scared him. He had used transformation songs before, like Titanium making him entirely of the material or The Greatest Show borrowing several of his classmates powers, which included turning into at least a couple of them. But he had never tried this one. "Only question is if you two like the song."
"I liked it." Dekiru said, "Not my favorite or anything, but it was fun."
"… I don't hate it." Canary admitted, "You like it a lot, right?"
"It's not in my top 20 or anything, but yeah, it's fun. Wouldn't have suggested this plan otherwise."
Canary took a deep breath. They didn't have much time, and the way the battle was going made it clear they didn't have many options either. Their plan relied on dragging Izmird to that place, and they couldn't unless they first managed to break through. Plus, they needed a way to remove the ring, and this could be one.
The risk, of course, was that they had no idea how the Quirk and the plan would interact. Probably badly, since Spider-Man was involved. Still… "Fine." He said, "Let's go, now. Before I change my mind."
"Awesome." Spider-Man grabbed the hands of the other Izukus, and then nodded toward Dekiru. "Alright, do your thing."
Dekiru closed his eyes, and there was a flash of light.
-x-
The man that stumbled out of the fusion was not Canary, nor Spider-Man, nor Dekiru. Looking down at his clothes, he noticed Canary's shirt was now worn above Spider-Dekiru's suit, now adding four sleeves for the extra arms. He was also really tall, at least two meters. Made sense, he supposed.
He opened his mouth. Two sets of tongues and teeth, allowing him to sing two different songs if he wanted to. Nifty.
"Well, I guess I'll call myself Spider-De… No wait, that's not good enough. The Decary Spider… Mmmh, that's also repetitive… Ah, I know, the Singing Spider!"
-x-
The Singing Spider!
Can do whatever a Spider can… And a canary too! He can use his songs like Canary does, but with two sets of vocal cords, and his strings are thinner and stronger, like the chords of a guitar, allowing him to also play. Wonder what happens if he does that…
-x-
The Singing Spider shook his head. "Alright, focus. Do I like the song?" He hummed it, "Alright, I do. Well then…"
He cleared his throat, and wondered if Canary or Dekiru would have been embarrassed about this. The answer was probably. After all, rapping wasn't really their thing. It barely was Spider-Man's, at karaoke mostly.
'Here goes nothing…'
"I got a song filled with shit for the strong-willed…" He begun to sing, and he felt his body change immediately, far faster than Canary's body would had he been using Living Melody alone. It was a weird sensation. Not painful, but noticeable. He was becoming something else.
"'Cause it latches on you like… Knock knock, let the devil in…" He started to truly melt, even as his teeth grew longer, his body turning a shade of green he found quite humorous. The Singing Spider started to move, singing again as the Symbiote he had become rushed for his host.
"Because they are gonna taste my"
~Venom - Eminem~
-x-
Deku should have known the fight would be weird. He had already seen and done so many weird things, he shouldn't have been surprised when a rapping green sludge slithered next to him and raised to face him with a mouth filled with long, pointy teeth and white eyes that vaguely reminded him of Spider-Man's face.
He shouldn't have.
"What?!" He shouted, jumping back as the sludge followed him.
The mouth of the creature that wasn't busy rapping – yeah, apparently it had two – opened. "Deku, it's me, the Singing Spider, the Fusion of Canary, Spider-Man and Dekiru."
"What are you doing?!" Izuku hissed.
"Long story very short…" The other mouth said, clearly worried about the time, "We think with this we should be able to pseudo-fuse, allowing you to use both our One for All and yours to their full potential, since we could cushion the blow with our current form and your Blackwhip."
"That… What would that be… a sum reaching 200% or a multiplier up to 10000%..."
"We don't know, but I think we want to find out, because if we are right..."
"The barrier." Izuku nodded, "Why me though?"
"We need the Green Scar to keep distracting Izmird so he won't focus on us until it's too late, and…"
"Venom is based on how fitting the host is for his DNA, or something like that, and since we are all Izuku we should be the most fitting for each other."
"Good guess." The Symbiote smirked, as the song reached what Izuku believed was near the half-way point. He sighed.
"If I get back home, no one will ever believe me."
"Welcome to the Multiverse." The Singing Spider Symbiote quipped, before beginning to fuse.
Deku closed his eyes as the liquid being spread around his body, coating him entirely but also filtering through his skin. They weren't just suit and wearer, he realized, they were one and the same. They were…
"You marvel that, Eddie Brock is you, and I'm the suit, so call me-"
He was Venom. He was Deku. Deku – or should he call themselves Venom Deku now? – jumped. They flew through the sky, his body now covered entirely by the dark green symbiote. Izmird took passive notice of them, launching a series of air projectiles their way before turning around to deal with others, but Venom Deku – yes, that felt right – sprouted out of their back six tentacles of green goo, that were promptly reinforced by Blackwhip's tendrils, and blocked each of the attacks. Izmird noticed, but he was too busy with the Green Scar and Merino attacking the other side and almost cracking the barrier on their own, forcing him to launch his own attack and disperse them.
Giving Venom Deku the time to bring back their fist, the Symbiote around their arm growing in size like a balloon, like the limb had just bloated, and Blackwhip coiling around it, making the arm firmer and sturdier still.
They breathed out. One of his mouths was still singing – he still had multiple, apparently, the singing one behind his head like the mouth of a Futakuchi-onna. They pulled back their fist, and as they punched shouted what seemed right. "Klyntar…"
The enormous fist, almost exploding with energy, impacted the barrier. "SMASH!"
And the barrier exploded, 200% One for All – or really two One for All, one from the suit and one from Deku behind it – proving enough to obliterate it.
For the first time since the fight begun, Izmird's eyes went wide in fear.
In response, Venom Deku smiled, their longue tongue extending out of their mouth.
"They ain't gonna know what hit 'em…"
The follow-up punch connected with Izmird's face.

A good bunch of chapters but we finally punched Izmird in the face. All it took was Canary, Dekiru and Spider-Man literally melting themselves into a Symbiote to fuse with Deku so they could bypass a force field.
You know, sometimes I wonder if someone drugs my water or something.
Jokes aside, this Venom transformation is actually one of the earliest things I set up for Canary, Spider-Man and Dekiru. Spider-Man and Canary get into a discussion on rap (and why Canary doesn't like it much while Spider-Man is a big fan) and then Spider-Man mentions he will make Dekiru listen to some of it... which leads us here, with that coming back to something that is both in theme with Spidey and allows all three of them to play a part in this.
I'm sure this will have no consequences. No sir.
And the wall is down, but Izmird still has his ring and the small fact he can return to his natural form of a massive dragon, and now Zombie, Argali and a lot of other big hitters are out, so...
Izmird "All according to keikaku."
Venom Deku: *Appears*
Izmird: "Well I didn't expect that, but I was expecting to not expect something, so it doesn't count-" *gets punched*
