BGM-Sonic Heroes OST-System Screen: Select
Sonic: I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. We were invited to have fun in a beach party by Peter's classmates. It was a blast! Even won a chili dog eating contest! Too bad Pete and Blake didn't stick around since they had to go stop Shocker from getting away with the prize money and some… 'Chaos Stone'. Whatever it is, it's extremely dangerous that could threaten dimensions. Must be a sign bad things are 'bout to happen again.

Issue 6: Hot Date, Fantastic Race
One Night at the Parker Residence.
BGM-Mega Man X8 OST-VS Sigma Demo
Yang found herself inside a nightmare. All around her are broken pieces of a church and darkness, causing her to look around in horrified confusion while trying to figure out how she got herself in this situation. Before she knew it, she let out a small gasp that got her looking down at both of her arms and turns them, examining their presence, particularly her right arm which isn't cybernetic anymore.
"NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…!"
Surprised by that scream of terror, Yang looks up from her arms to see Spider-Man struggling to break free from symbiotic tendrils that are dragging him to the massive floating head of Venom. Yang tries to rescue him, but she was too slow. With a monstrous roar, Venom swallows the webslinger whole before melting from the inside out, doing this horrific act just so his symbiote could once more bond and corrupt Peter down to his heart, turning him into the monster that nearly killed Yang in a fit of rage during the Symbiote Invasion.
The newly-reformed Symbiote Spider-Man stands up from the ground without spouting a word. Just stands there, menacingly, as he shoots a death glare at Yang. And joining his side is another monster that the huntress wished she never lay eyes again. The Green Goblin. The monstrous smiling psychopath that was responsible for destroying her right arm months ago during the Goblin War. Both monsters approach Yang, with tentacles bursting from Symbiote Spidey's back and flames erupting and enveloping Goblin. Yang steps back defensively and discovers that she is suddenly wearing Ember Celica, quickly using them to blast them several times until she realizes they do nothing to them as they steadily continue walking closer.
In a blink of an eye, Spidey blinds Yang with a shot of webbing. She swiftly rips it off and tries to attack again, only to notice her weapon is gone, as is her right arm. She stares for a moment in confusion and disbelief and then startles when Symbiote Spider-Man abruptly appears behind her, distracting her from Goblin ruthlessly grabbing her by the throat.
"Hehehehehehe…Ahahahahaha…AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" Goblin just laughed, laughing so creepily as Yang can't do anything to break free from this chokehold.
BGM End
"GUH-HUH!" The gasping Yang suddenly awakens from that traumatizing nightmare. She finds herself back in her room, lying on top of her bed. The rest of Team RWBY are still sleeping peacefully around her while her face is covered in sweat. She pants for a moment before wiping the sweat off her face, then hears a thud coming from outside near Peter's room.
Curious, Yang heads to the hallway to take a peek through Peter's slightly opened door to discover her ex-boyfriend crawling into his room after a night of patrol. He lets out one big yawn after removing his mask, not bothering with the rest of his costume as he's exhausted and just collapses on his bed already asleep. Yang quietly closes his door then sighs to herself, giving her cybernetic arm a somber stare before deciding to head back to bed.
The Next Morning…
BGM-Sonic Unleashed OST-Apotos (Day)
Peter yawns his way downstairs to find something to eat that'll leave him awake. He heads into the kitchen to find no one but Yang enjoying a hearty breakfast, stopping herself for a moment to cheerily greet Peter with, "Rough night?"
"Something like that." Peter smilingly quipped, "Blame JJ for keeping me up. Wanted me to take pictures while I wanted to take down the Manfredi Crime Family. Doing both at the same time inside a restaurant led to things getting a little messy."
"Would love to hear the full story." Yang grinned.
"You wouldn't. It's disgusting." Peter snarked. As he grabbed his own breakfast, he asks, "Where is everyone?"
"Out doing their own thing." answered Yang, right as Peter sits next to her with his food. "I'm planning to do some Extreme Gear training right after." She then takes a large bite from her food and still insist in talking with a full mouth, "Wynnna juin?" She asked if he could join her for training.
"Don't talk with your mouth full." Peter grinned, prompting Yang to swallow her food but failing to notice some grub left on her cheek. "Here. Got a little something." He playfully wipes it off with a napkin.
"Don't treat me like a baby." The annoyed Yang slaps his hand away.
"Then stop acting like one." Peter slyly quipped.
"Jerk." snarked Yang as she playfully smacks his arm, causing the ex-couple to laugh at their little antics.
Back on topic, Peter tells her, "Yeah would love to help you with training, but I'm meeting with Tails at Avengers Mansion to further study that 'Chaos Stone' we found the other day, then do some patrol with Blake."
"Oh…" Yang frowned with a mixed tone of dejected and jealously, "So, you and Blake. You two dating now?"
"Wha-No, no, no, no! She's just my partner-in-crime! Same as you, if you're interested!" The flustered Peter denied any suspicions of him in a romantic relationship with his faunus teammate.
"Not for a while. I just…really need this vacation." Yang gloomed, with Peter sympathizing as he understands they've been throughout a lot in the past months, as far back as when they first started dating.
One sorrowful glance of guilt at her cybernetic arm got Peter up from his seat to go give his ex-girlfriend a comforting hug. "You deserve it." He sincerely told her, "Maybe at 8 we'll go catch a movie."
"That'd be great." Yang smiled acceptingly, "Just don't stand me up like you did at the beach."
"I won't. Promise." He said confidently, already regretting making that promise as he has no clue how the Parker Luck might screw him up.
BGM End
Later…
Yang rides her Extreme Gear alone through the nice breezy skies of Queens simply to relax and train. Training was nice, having a better handling on jumps and turns without disrupting the local traffic, but her mind is focused on something else. 'Beacon…' She solemnly muses of her school, of her first days there and the adventures she had as Team RWBY, 'Crazy to think a lot happened during my first year there that would change my life forever. I was put on a team to become a Huntress. Made friends. Had adventures that I'd never dreamed of. Even helped save the world. Now here I am, spending my summer on an entirely different world as an Avenger. I have "him" to thank for this.'
Images of Peter Parker race through her mind as she remembers the good times she spent with him. Memories of an amazing friend that she'll forever cherish deep within her heart, 'Even before I found out he was Spider-Man, before I learned he was from another universe, I always liked him. He thinks himself a loser, but I always thought of him as a cool guy with a big heart. Always wanting to help people even if it's as trivial as finding your lost pencil. Why does a guy that nice always has to suffer? Have friends that die or bros that become his enemy? Why doesn't he give himself a break? He deserves this vacation more than the rest of us. That double life of his…Hard to love a man when that love could jeopardize both lives. I get WHY Peter does it, but I never totally loved the "heroes hide behind masks" thing. Feels like part of being a hero is standing behind your actions; being willing to say "yeah, that was me." That's the sort of hero I'd want to be. At least, if I wasn't so…' Yang somberly stares at her left hand which was trembling while she reminisced. Her metal hand grabs and steadies it, giving herself a long, shaky sigh before picking up the pace on her Gear.
Suddenly amidst her flight, a blazing streak of fire blitzes past the huntress at speeds that may be too hot for her to compete but nonetheless leaves her amazed. "What was that?" She asked herself. Curious, she speeds up to catch up with the mysterious flames. The flames appear to be alive, as closer inspection reveal that they really belong to a cocky young man around her age enveloped in flames, wearing a costume with a familiar "4" insignia while riding his own specialized Extreme Gear designed to handle his hotness. "Hey matchstick! Gonna want you to pull over to the nearest ocean!" Yang jokingly greeted this fire man.
The Mystery Fire Man looks back with a smile upon recognizing the huntress following her, "Yo, yo, yo! Yang, right? Long time no see!"
"Johnny Storm of Earth's Famous Fantastic Four. What on this dimension you doing in Queens?" Yang asked.
"What, I can't be in Queens?" Johnny quipped.
"I HAVE to be here. Team and I are living with Peter for the summer. But you? Go save the world." Yang snarked.
"Oh I got a better idea. I see we're both training with Extreme Gear. What do you say, uh, a quick race around Queens?" Johnny proposed.
"What is this? You think just because you can already fly in a streak of fire ooooh you can beat me?" Yang teased him.
Johnny chuckles, "I do believe that's what I'm saying."
"Then I got two words for you…" Yang then cockily smirks him, "Bring it on."
The starting point of the race is Midtown High School. Yang stands atop the rooftop holding her Gear ready to race, with Human Torch hovering over the roof while eager to show off his hot skills on his own Gear. Torch is in charge of the countdown, using less numbers and more words such as, "Ready…set…GO!" to initiate the race between hotheads.
BGM-Ultimate Spider-Man (Game) OST-Race
Simultaneously with rivaling ferocity, Yang and Torch leap onto their respective Gears while flying off at blistering speeds. They tear through the Queens with skills that push the other to take theirs to the next level. The rivals ride over rooftops to soaring over bridges, taking brief moments to race on the streets when traffic isn't much of an issue. Torch gained the lead but it didn't last, as Yang took a blitzing shortcut through a park to stylishly steal his position.
"C'mon, Torch! My little sister is faster than you!" Yang taunted him.
Eager to return the favor, Torch takes his own shortcut, grinding on power lines to build up momentum for one powerful boost to retake the lead. "How's the view back there? Would hate for your beautiful hair to blind you to my victory!" Torch retorted with an annoying taunt of his own.
"Oh ho, you're in for it now, Hothead!" Yang smirked.
The competitive huntress begins to speed up, weaving in and out of cars on the street until catching up with Human Torch. They exchange a few blows but Yang is still unable to overtake him, so she manages to perform a clean swerving technique that allowed her ahead of the superhero, much to his amazement.
"Oh, not bad." Johnny smirked deviously, ready to show off a special trick that'll make her eat his dust, or flames.
Clearing the traffic, Yang looks back to notice her rival had just disappeared. "What-?!" She looks up shocked to see Torch throttling down from the sky, his fiery speed generating a flaming shockwave that nearly knocks Yang off her board, slowing her down immensely.
"NEARLY WINNING!" shouted Torch, nearing the finish line that is Midtown High.
"NOT YET!" Yang retorted with a last-ditch plan to win the race. Just as swiftly as her recovering on her board she shouts, "GEAR CHANGE!" Her voice commanded the board to seamlessly morph into a powerful hoverbike resembling her Bumblebee motorcycle back home. With the extra power of this transformed Gear, Yang unleashes a tremendously devastating burst of speed that sends the surprised Johnny spiraling through the air and off his board, leaving a clean path for the huntress to ride to the finish line.
BGM End
"Aw man, you're faster than I thought." Johnny returned as the second-place loser of the race, left impressed of Yang's speed.
"Now I OWN YOU!" Yang mocked him, clearly happy over her victory.
Though it sucks he didn't win, Torch remains a good sport about it as he just laughs it off, "Yeah, whatever. If you ever want to race again, look me up. I'm usually hanging out by the Baxter Building."
"Why not we go right now so I may embarrass you again. I'm free." Yang taunted the fantastic hero.
"I'll make you eat those words. Let's race there right now!" Torch already challenges her to a rematch, which she excitedly accepts as the blond-haired fiery duo hop back onto their Extreme Gears for another heated race.
Avengers Mansion
BGM-Sonic Battle OST-Emerl's Theme
In one of their sub-basement labs, the unmasked Spider-Man has spent tireless hours with Tails studying the Chaos Stone safely contained in a machine that is constantly analyzing all its unusual energies. There looked to be no end in sight of its mysteries. Whatever data they collect is immediately followed by dozens more, with some being so hard for super-geniuses like them to understand at the moment.
Constantly keeping watch of the Stone is Blake leaning on a wall. She stays vigilant, glaring suspiciously at the gem that nearly killed her just from a simple touch and wants to prevent anything like that at all cost. Her attention is briefly swayed by the loud sound of Sonic biting on an apple as he enters the lab asking, "So what's up with our little blue mystery stone, Science Bros?"
"That this troublemaker is somehow a Chaos Emerald/Infinity Stone fusion thanks to ISO-8." Spidey quipped, "Don't know exactly how this was made, but we've been analyzing its energy all morning to discover properties frighteningly similar to both. A stone like this is filled to the BRIM with limitless cosmic energy, granting godlike power to whoever holds them. It's in its own league compared to the other cosmic stuff we've been dealing up until now."
"In regards to this Chaos Stone, it allows one absolute control over the very fabric of chaos, deriving a universal supply to fuel it. Its capabilities rival that of the Master Emerald, at least!" Tails briefed everyone on what they learned.
"It's definitely seven Chaos Emeralds wrapped as one more dangerous gem." Peter added, which Sonic took a mental note about.
"Guess that means I'm qualified to use it." quipped Sonic as he walks toward the contained Chaos Stone.
"You better not! That Gem nearly killed me!" Blake sternly warned him not to touch it.
"You lost control cuz you don't have the experience using chaos energy like me." Sonic retorted.
"Even still, just one little mistake could end the universe. You're not touching it." Spidey ordered the mischievous hedgehog.
Sonic shrugs, "Whatever. What about that other Stone you talked about?" He turned back to the faunus.
"I don't know where it is. Just felt that it was 'different' from the Chaos Stone but equally dangerous. Also remember seeing something of a hedgehog and a…spider-monster?" Blake revealed everything else the visions showed her.
"Don't see how's they're related to cosmic power that could end dimensions." Sonic quipped.
Spidey says, "Let's focus on finding that other Stone before another idiot like Shocker get their hands on it. Should've told you guys this earlier, but I was paid a visit by Madame Web. More like she dragged me to visit, as usual."
"Madame Web? If she's involved, then this CAN'T be good." Blake noted.
"She was being her usual cryptic self. Told me we'd encounter 'Chaos on the streets' in multiple ways. Guessing this Stone is one of them." Peter shoots a worrisome glance at their Chaos Stone, "I should really start taking her warnings more seriously."
"Better late than never." Tails retorted, typing tirelessly on his computer to project points of cosmic interest in the city, "I've been analyzing for ISO-8 throughout the city. Since our Stone radiates an energy reading that's similar, we should be able to track down the second Stone. I've already pinpointed several caches possibly owned by gangs."
"Transmit the coordinates and keep studying the Stone. And contact Doctor Banner. This Stone emits a Gamma signature too weak for us to study. With his expertise, it'll be easier tracking the other down." Spidey ordered.
"On it!" Tails nodded before returning to his work.
As Spidey walks up to both Sonic and Blake, he tells them both, "I'm gonna investigate some Oscorp research facilities for clues, since they were the ones that found the Chaos Stone."
"That'll leave us with the ISO-8. Don't worry. We'll take that stuff off the streets." Sonic said, sharing a stern nod with his webbed leader.
"Be careful." The worried Blake tells her leader.
"You too." Peter solemnly retorted, "If you're feeling like a scaredy cat to touch more cosmic stones, just call." He joked to provide levity before their mission.
Blake smiles, "I will." which makes Peter smile before putting on his mask as he runs out the lab with Blake watching him leave in silence for a moment.
BGM End
"So you two dating now?" Sonic asked, so casually and abruptly that his question greatly surprises Blake.
"NO! No! What makes you think that?" Blake blushed while feeling embarrassingly flustered.
"Well first your cheeks are red." Sonic teased while ignoring the faunus's annoyed growl down on him, "If you like him, go ask him out. Sure he likes you too."
"But he likes Yang more…" Blake remarks sorrowfully.
"Haven't seen those two date in a while. We know Pete is dense and likes to confuse himself. Just give it a shot." Sonic advises the faunus, which she gratefully takes to heart.
"Love advice from the guy that avoids dates like the plague?" Tails slyly teased his big brother.
"Only when they love hitting me with a hammer." The annoyed Sonic snarked, with the fox and cat laughing at his expense.
Baxter Building
BGM-Mega Man Star Force OST-Science
The Baxter Building. The specialized skyscraping home to the First Super Family of Earth, the Fantastic Four. Sitting in the living room is the Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing, sitting back on his sofa enjoying a movie with popcorn that he scoops up a handful from his large cup into his mouth. Amidst his fun, he spots his non-invisible friend, Susan Storm, entering the room in her civilian clothes. "Hey Sue. Yer kids enjoyed their trip to the amusement park?" He smiled at her.
"They enjoyed it too much that they conked out the moment we came back. Had to use my inviso-bubbles to carry them to bed." Invisible Woman quipped, eliciting an amused chuckle from her rocky friend before asking, "Is Johnny not back yet from testing out his Gear?"
"You know how that kid is with new toys that always gets him into trouble." Thing quipped.
Susan sighs, "Better call him to check if he's okay."
Just as Sue whips out her cellphone to call her reckless little brother, he suddenly flies through a large open window in the room alongside Yang on their Extreme Gears, going so fast pass Thing that his popcorn scatters from the winds while the cup lands atop his head, leaving him furious and Sue sighing for having a reckless brother.
"WOOHOO! I win!" claimed Johnny while jumping off his hoverboard.
"No, I won!" Yang argued.
"We can compromise and call it a tie."
"If it'll make you feel better."
"There you are, Johnny!" The annoyed Sue steps forward greeting her brother, before immediately calming down in happiness of noticing Yang, "And Yang! Oh, I didn't know you came to visit. So happy to see you." She went to go give her huntress friend a welcoming hug.
"Same here, Sue." Yang smiled.
"Nice to see ya, Fisticuffs. The Grimm in your world still causin' ya trouble?" asked Thing, also happy to be reuniting with one of his favorite interdimensional fighters.
"More or less. Petra Gigas still have nothing on your rocky punches." Yang quipped while sharing a fist bump with the fantastic clobber.
"There's no Grimm in any universe that can compete with Ben Grimm, the most handsome of them all!" Thing joked.
The last member of the Fantastic Four that Yang is about to reunite is a scientist that is smarter than any man and woman among their universes. Reed Richards, more famously known as Mister Fantastic, walks into the room holding a tablet that's helping him with his countless research, "Johnny! I calculated you'd be late by exactly 6 minutes and 24 seconds. Nice to have you back."
"Sup, Mr. F!" Yang happily waves a greeting at the hyper-genius.
Upon immediately recognizing his interdimensional visitor, Reed smiles while stretching his hand to shake hers as he still approaches, "Greetings, Ms. Xiao Long. A pleasure to see you. So what brings you back to our home dimension?"
"Taking my summer break while training for the DX World Grand Prix!" Yang expressed enthusiastically.
"Ah yes, Tony's new multiversal tournament. We're all excited for it! Built my family their own experimental, highly advanced Extreme Gears to test in time for the tourney. I still require exceptional data if I want to perfect their design." Reed said.
"Then let's do some more training in that 'Cosmic Interstate' you discovered! Best way to win a multiversal tournament is by practicing across the multiverse." Johnny highly recommended to his brother-in-law.
"That sounds fun!" Yang supported that outrageous idea.
"Well if you insist, I'll support your idea." Reed smiled, going along with the plan.
BGM End
BGM-Mega Man Star Force 3 OST-The Cosmowave
All of the Fantastic Four grabbed their own custom-made Extreme Gear before entering Reed's lab that houses the interdimensional portal device for their little multiversal training session. "So what is this Cosmic Interstate?" Yang curiously asked the big brain.
"See for yourself." Reed responded while activating his portal device.
The device projects a quantum gateway that is allowing the team to bypass the border between dimensions. In mere seconds, the gang found themselves taking a step on a normal-looking highway, only to be swiftly amazed upon noticing this highway is connected to an endless series of pathways floating in this cosmic void. Pathways that connect to many, many universes that Reed is simply eager to explore all one day.
"Whoooooa…! Look at all these highways…" Yang expressed with such stunned eyes.
"Welcome to the Cosmic Interstate. Discovered this reality some time ago while exploring the origins of The Pulse. This nexus Zone of realities allows one to travel between dimensions." Reed briefed her on the nature of this dimension.
"And best part? Little traffic. No one here to slow me down while I own you." Johnny teased the huntress.
Yang cockily scoffs, "You think you can beat me this time?"
"I was going easy on you the last time, just so you know." Johnny quipped.
"Yeah, yeah…" Yang sarcastically remarked before shouting, "LET'S DO THIS!" as she is eager for some multiversal Extreme Gear training with the Fantastic Four.
BGM End
BGM-Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity OST-Aquatic Time
All five racers boarded their hoverboards right as they power up to the extreme for an explosive start in this cosmic void. They race at top speeds throughout the Cosmic Interstate, already fierce in competing for the lead position while searching for a multiversal track they can expand their fun. Yang was the first to randomly choose a dimension, with everyone following her through a portal to suddenly find themselves riding down a building on Kattelox Island in the Captain Universe. They race under the nightly fireworks, moving too fast for the locals and Servbots to notice in time as Susan takes the lead over a river to perform one invisible aerial trick. They take their races to the next level and into the next dimension connected to the Interstate, which happens to be Sunshine Tour from the Samba de Amigo Dimension. Each racer tear through the Mexican carnival town with their own fantastic style, with Yang giving a passing two-finger salute to an orange hat-wearing monkey boy that loves to dance and play the maracas. They exit the dimension just as quickly as they entered it, with Johnny performing stylish midair tricks as they drop into the next world. This world happens to be the Woolly World from the Smash Bros. Universe, with everything and everyone made out of fabric so interesting that Reed couldn't help his stretchy himself from examining as much as he could before his wife forces him to focus on the race. The race nears its end as they venture into a Snow Town in the BlazBlue Universe, with Thing smashing his way through snowy obstacles until he's being messed with by Torch and his fireballs. He returns the favor by grinding up snowballs to throw at his face, immediately enacting a snowball race fight that all five racers are having way too much fun with until they leave this reality with each sharing an insane speedy burst, unknowingly observed by a young mysterious vampire girl.
BGM End
Though the winner of the race will remain ambiguous, it clearly didn't matter to its racers as all of them had an amazing time racing through the multiverse. They took a break in the Skies of Arcadia Dimension on an island haven known as Rouge's Landing. Three of the Fantastic Four explore the island, chatting with the locals and learning about some Valuan Empire, while Johnny and Yang hang out and laugh atop a docked pirate ship.
"Man I don't care who won that race! That was a blast!" Johnny conversed with his huntress friend.
"Haven't had that much fun in a while. Hanging out with you guys is a lot different from hanging with my team. We either spend time fighting crime or doing homework." Yang smiled.
"That's cuz the Fantastic Four are moreso awesome explorers than incredible superheroes." Johnny remarked while Yang beams him an adorable giggle. "Haven't gotten the chance to ask, but how's everyone else doing? How's Pete?" He switched topics, curious to know how his other friends are doing.
BGM-Sonic Adventure 2 OST-Reflection
"They're all doing fine. Pete too, doing his usual Spider-Man thing." Yang replied, albeit sounding disappointed upon talking about Peter.
"Sound disappointed." Johnny noticed, growing concerned.
"You know we dated, right? During that Goblin disaster?" Yang frowned upon asking him, "Probably a bad time to start a relationship. Not long after that we broke up, 'cause Pete was too busy to maintain a long-distance interdimensional relationship."
"You mad about that?" Johnny asked.
"No? Maybe a little. I understand being a full-time superhero is stressful, but, maybe less so if he focused a little more on a normal life." Yang said somberly.
"I getcha. Dating a guy trying to live two different lives can be stressful business too." Johnny commented solemnly.
"I just want him to take a break. Take it easy, at least for this summer. He's been through so much, alone for a long time, ever since he was orphaned. I sympathize, a lot…" Yang expressed her current feelings for Peter, and subtly, of herself, as her troubles started by her mother abandoning her ever since she was a child.
"Are you two scared of restarting your relationship?" asked Johnny.
"I am…at least." Yang answered with a most depressed tone, "I don't blame Peter for revealing a multiverse of dangers to me. I'm a thrill-seeker. I'm always up for an adventure. But even I have my limits." She shows off her metal arm to Storm saying, "I lost a part of me. A piece of me is gone. It's never coming back. And I nearly lost my boyfriend to aliens that tried to use him to kill me. That's something I won't forget no matter how much I try."
"You're right. That arm is not coming back, and you can't erase a terrible memory. That's why Peter stopped dating you. He's just afraid. Concern for your safety even if you are a kickass huntress." Johnny remarked.
"What about my concerns for him? For his safety? For his happiness?! Why keep going out as Spider-Man if it just makes his life miserable? Why not just stay a normal kid, or at least let everyone in on his secret identity? Huntsmen do that and we're treated like celebrities!" Yang angrily questioned.
"Being a superhero is different from a huntsman." Johnny solemnly argues, "On your world, huntsmen are like under a 'Superhuman Registration Act' that gotta give up their real name to the government and choose what missions they want as long as they follow the rules. On Earth, being a superhero is barely tolerated by most. Spidey's the perfect example. Everyone HATES him. But, that doesn't stop Peter's sense of responsibility from kicking in to help as many people as he could, even if it comes at the cost of his happiness. If his secret is revealed, it would endanger everyone he loves. He doesn't want to go through that. Being scared is normal. It comes and goes. It's all in how you handle it. Being Spider-Man? That's how Peter handles his fears. Sometimes vice versa."
"I don't think I could handle mine the same way." Yang remarked, remaining relatively unconvinced.
"You don't have to. You do you. Enjoy your vacation to the fullest. Continue taking your break from Pete until you can sort things out. Or not, I mean there are WAY cooler boys to date." Johnny advised.
"You recommending yourself?" Yang slyly smirked at the guy cleverly trying to ask her out.
"Well unlike you two, I'm not afraid to hand out my phone number." quipped Johnny, which gets the blonde huntress laughing while feeling a little relieved of herself.
BGM End
BGM-Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity OST-Stop the Black Hole
Break time is just about over. And it's not because they're eager to return to training. No. Unfortunately, this is because of something random cracking into this world. Literally. The dimensional fabric is slowly cracking from a mysterious force that it can't contain any longer. And then boom, a large dimensional rift erupts in town while capturing the surprised attention of the locals, the Fantastic Four, and Yang.
"What the hell…?" Johnny muttered in confusion.
Suddenly swarming out of the dimensional rift are dark monstrous creatures from that other dimension known as Dark Gaia Monsters, and they waste no time expressing their hostile nature on the poor residents of this dimension. The locals flee to safety while the monsters demolish everything and everyone in their sights, like an imposing Titan about to slam its massive club on scared civilians. Luckily, The Thing comes to their rescue as he swiftly catches the club quipping, "This is random. Think these guys came to race?" before knocking down the Titan with a powerful uppercut.
"Highly doubt it." quipped Invisible Woman, releasing crackling energy to trap monsters in bubbles, "Focus on getting people to safety!"
"FLAME ON!" Johnny ignites himself so he may join the fight, flying off to destroy several monsters with powerful flames that terrify them to their deaths.
Yang joins too, recoiling into the fight with explosive punches that knock out most variants with one blow. Killer Bees quickly overwhelm her with stingers and speeds that make it difficult to hit even one, until she gets the idea to deflect their piercing attack with her metal arm. "What are these things? Grimm?" She wondered before blasting the stunned Bees to death.
"There ARE similarities. They appear to be energy fragments of a hyper energy organism." Reed analyzed while knocking a few down with stretchy smacks. "They won't stop coming until we investigate that dimensional rift and close it before they consume this world." He proclaimed while staring at the dimensional right.
"I'll go on ahead!" shouted Johnny as he recklessly flies headfirst into the rift.
"JOHNNY!" Yang retorted. Worried for the friend that she has grown to really care about, the huntress hops back on her Extreme Gear and gives chase, right before the Fantastic Three follow them into unknown dimensional territory.
BGM End
Unknown Dimension
BGM-Super Dragon Ball Heroes OST-Shadow of Death
The world those Dark Gaia Monsters came from is an alternate version of Mobius that is overrun by them and eternal night, but they aren't the biggest concern at all. As soon as the Fantastic Four and Yang enter this dimension, they were quickly horrified to realize this world is suffering what appears to be a deathly cosmic storm that is tearing it apart at the seams.
"WHOA! This place isn't looking pretty!" The shocked Yang joked.
The planet quakes while it shatters, erupting terrifying lava pillars from cracking fissures that have spread across the planet. The cosmos itself is on the verge of destruction, with Mister Fantastic desperately analyzing what is happening and what is causing this madness, "Unbelievable...Not just the planet, but the very fabric of this universe is rupturing at an alarming rate! Everything is collapsing in on itself!"
"We can still stop it, right?" Thing asked, hoping there is a way to save this dimension.
"Hate to say it, old friend, but there's nothing we can do. We have about 10 seconds before this entire dimension is destroyed!" Reed retorted.
"RACE YA BACK HOME!" joked Johnny, as the family and huntress make a hasty retreat through the portal they used to enter this reality.
Unknown to the heroes, they were being spied on by a certain obese scientist riding an Egg Mobile that is preparing to exit this collapsing dimension. "Wasn't expecting the Fantastic Four to stumble upon my little experiment." Doctor Eggman muttered, "No matter. I obtained the data necessary to perfect my machine. Soon they'll all be too busy with the Bug Problem to realize the greater threat." He declared with deadly ominous, sinisterly smiling before teleporting himself away just as this planet, and its entire dimension, explodes into cosmic dust.
BGM End
Back at the Baxter Building…
"That pirate world is safe, but what happened to that other world, honey?" Invisible Woman asked.
After narrowly escaping the destruction of that unstable dimension, the Fantastic Four and Yang returned to Earth to discuss what just transpired. Everyone's in the lab watching Reed work on his big futuristic computer, quickly analyzing the data before telling his family what he discovered, "That dimension has been completely destroyed. Based on the little data I acquired before we left, I've come to the conclusion that the dimension's reservoir of ISO-8 had been tampered with, leading to the side-effects that destabilize that reality to the point of collapse. Curiously, the energy readings that caused such a feat are remarkably similar to what destroyed Exo-Space, which led to The Pulse."
"So who-or-whatever's behind this is trying to harness ISO-8 by destroying dimensions?" Johnny commented.
"Seems to be the case. For what purpose, I do not know. But I'll continue my research to get to the bottom of this dimensional mystery." Reed promised his family.
"I'll leave you to your research, Doc. It's almost 8. Got somewhere else to be and don't want to run late." Yang said, ready to leave for her friendly movie date with Peter.
Reed smiles, "I understand. It was a pleasure seeing you again, Yang. Have a good night and stay safe."
"You too." smiled Yang as she shakes hands with the stretchy scientist.

"Sorry we couldn't race longer. Maybe another time." Johnny said to the huntress, basically asking her out on a date.
"It's a date." Yang accepted.
"For real?"
"If you're not afraid to give me your number." Yang teased him, embarrassing the hothead a little.
"Heh. No I am not." smirked Johnny, handing her a paper with his phone number written on it.
Solemnly, Yang smiles at the good friend she has come to know better as she tells him, "Thanks, Johnny. You…really gave me a lot to think about. I appreciate it. Despite watching a dimension blow up, I had a lot of fun today."
Happily, Johnny smirks back with, "Anything for a friend."
As thanks for him being such a good friend, Yang gives him a kiss on the cheek. Johnny stood shocked by that, and remained shocked a bit after Yang left the premises as his brain tries to comprehend how he scored a beautiful adventurous huntress from another dimension that once dated his best friend. It doesn't matter, but he still stood so in shock that he accidently flames on in the presence of his family.
"Keep it in your pants, Flamebrain." Thing teased him.

'Did you find anything at Oscorp?' asked Blake through Spider-Man's earpiece, as the webslinger swings through the night after successfully completing his investigation mission.
"Some shady stuff, but nothing on the Stone. How 'bout you guys? Anything?" Spidey replied.
'Nope. But we did bust up the gangs that were going to use ISO-8 for a gang war.' Sonic informed of their successful patrol.
"That'd as chaotic as the Chaos Stone. Good job. What's going on with you and Tails, Bruce? Any leads?" Spidey then contacted his fellow Avenger and gamma expert, Bruce Banner.
Bruce replies, 'We had SHIELD call every lab they know, told them to put spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays. I'm roughing out a tracking algorithm based on cluster recognition. At least we could rule out a few places in this dimension.'
"You implying the other Stone could be in other dimensions? Like in Mobius, in Remnant?" Spidey questioned.
'This isn't like the Infinity Stones we encountered in the past, Spider-Man. This is different. This Chaos Stone is somehow linked to the multiverse. And I fear there may be more than the two we know about.' Bruce said forebodingly.
Spidey sighs, "Let's hope your wrong, Doc. I have enough problems to deal with this summer, such as…" He then uses his HUD to check the clock, which reveals to him a time that immediately scares him into shouting, "OH NO! IT'S 8:17! I'M RUNNING LATE! GOTTA GO!"

'Spidey, wait-!' Blake wanted to tell him something but the call ended just as hurriedly as Spidey is racing through the city toward his destination.
"I promised Yang we'd go to the movies together but I got so caught up in the Stone hunt I nearly forgot! She's gonna kill me! After all I put her through…" Peter laments over the recent tragedies Yang suffered through because she was his girlfriend. "Luckily, I'm close by and theaters love to play 15-minute previews." He joked as he nears the movie theater.

It wasn't long until Spider-Man lands on a rooftop near the theater. He spots Yang who has been waiting patiently for his arrival yet seems to have something on her mind. It didn't matter to Peter, as he's just glad she had the patience to wait for a tardy guy like him. But, just as he's ready to switch to his civilian clothes, an unneeded disaster catches his attention. From several blocks away he just heard an explosion rock a diamond store and alarms blaring too loud for him to ignore, meaning a dangerous robbery is taking place and only Spider-Man can stop it.
"What? Not now!" Spidey whined.

Peter gives a look down at Yang. He really doesn't want to keep her waiting anymore than she already has. He thinks about inviting her to stop the robbery together, but that runs the risk of revealing his secret identity and is ultimately a waste of time. Not to mention his concerns for her safety. This is her vacation from the heroics, and he wants what's best for her. Spidey then gives a look at the direction of the robbery. If he doesn't move now, the robbers will escape with the diamonds. He has the power, and it is his responsibility as a hero to stop them, even if it ruins his chances of living a normal life.
Ultimately, and somberly, Spidey swings off to deal with the robbery with some hope he'll return quickly. Yang catches a glimpse of him leaving, which leaves her disappointed. She thinks back to Johnny's words of advice and sees this moment as her chance to move past her feelings for Peter until she could resolve her own trauma. And so, she walks away.
"Hey. I think that's him. The real Spider-Man." said by a mysterious, yet oddly ordinary man spying on Spider-Man.
"Did he see you?" Another mysteriously ordinary man asked his friend, who strangely appears to be clinging to the wall of a building.
"No. C'mon, let's find the others." The first man suggested. And before anyone noticed them, the two friends swung away on weblines, ominously similar to how Spider-Man swings on his own webbing.

BGM-Spider-Man (Movie Game) OST-Main Menu Theme
KFX Here: I'm adding Yang's PTSD storyline from RWBY Volume 4 into this remake, with some slight changes such as adding elements from Spider-Man: Far from Home where Peter was too traumatized over the death of Iron Man that he didn't want to do any heroics during his summer vacation. This is planned to be a Saga-long subplot if I remake the entire Masters of Evil Saga.
Matthew0606: I typically end all my Sagas with the sense of finality. No need for some grand sendoff when there is ALWAYS the possibility of new stories.
Silverfox3456: This remake isn't set in an alternate world. This is the revised canon to the United Heroes Universe. You have The Solaris Dynasty to thank for reimagining the timeline.
Nathan Ramos: Kaine has RARELY been a team player. He prefers working alone.
Guest (Chapter 7): Man, you gotta stop with whatever nonsense you're talking about. What you're saying is so unnecessarily complicated and will never fit in the United Heroes series.
Next Time: Arise of the Spider-Imposters!
Please leave a review that'll tell me what you thought of this chapter! What did you like? What didn't you like? Would really appreciate the feedback.
