Land of Darkness, Remnant.
BGM-RWBY: Grimm Eclipse OST-Ambient Mysterious 02
Months ago, Evernight Castle used to be the headquarters for Salem until it was destroyed by the Green Goblin. Nowadays, it has been rebuilt as a massive factory thanks to the ingenious combination of magic and technology. A Dimensional Harvester was built here and, like all others, is extracting ISO-8 from this universe until it bleeds dry. Tanks are filling up fast, with some being teleported to the Master Sanctorum with enough time before the Masters of Evil initiate their grand plan for the cosmos.
Overseeing this operation are Salem and Spider-King from a balcony, the latter being petted with affection by the Witch since he has proven to be her most loyal enforcer. Her countless other workers she's just apathetic toward, including Cubot who's bumbling around with stacks of ISO-8 containers that are in danger of falling out of his hands and making a mess that Orbot doesn't want to clean up.
What Salem is most interested in at the moment is the Dimensional Harvester. She stares at it intently, the limitless cosmic energy that it is absorbing from the atmosphere, making her sternly reminisce of her past and future, 'This Dimensional Harvester is truly a marvel of engineering. A machine capable of absorbing the life energy of an entire dimension at the risk of destroying it entirely. It could easily be used to destroy this ruined world and rid me of my curse of immortality, though I acknowledge the possibility that act alone won't be the key. I will need power. Power that transcends the Gods and their foolishness. That is why the Exo Stones caught my interest. Just one Stone has wrought chaos across our Three Dimensions and it isn't even CALLED the Chaos Stone. All eight are my last chance in restoring what I've lost over the millennia. My mortality. My children. My kingdom for them to grow up in. I will destroy this world in spite of the Gods before I destroy them. Before I finally allow myself to die, I will ensure all my enemies suffer beyond imagination and eternity. There will be no balance. No peace for anyone but my family. NONE will have a happily ever after…besides me.' She finished with an ominously creepy smile.
"Excuse me. Ms. Salem?" Orbot casually joins her side upon her finishing her inner monologue with some important news he wants to tell her.
"What is it, Orbot?" Salem politely responded.
"I have just been contacted by Doctor Doom. He wants me to tell you that your treatment is ready aboard the Master Sanctorum and that you should head there immediately." Orbot informed her.
"Thank you. I will leave at once." said Salem, ready to walk away while ordering Spider-King, "Keep an eye on our harvest until I return, Spider-King. I won't be long."
"As you wish, your grace." replied Spider-King, bowing to his master as she leaves for her mystical treatment.

Later in the Master Sanctorum…
BGM-Ultimate Spider-Man (Game) OST-Father's Pride
Salem had her hair down and changed into more comfortable clothing before being strapped into a specially constructed medical chamber by Doctor Doom. This machine contains several mechanisms ready to inject the subject with the Spider-Virus with the additional capabilities to harness and project beams of dark mystical energy that is out of this realm. Salem remains calm while being infected with a needle that would make any person wince, as she clearly knows that was only the beginning of this experiment as Doom is preparing for the next phase behind a computer.
Doom tells his immortal test subject, "We will begin with a series of micro-injections to your major muscle groups. The Spider-Serum infusion will cause immediate cellular change and access to the Web of Life. Then, to stabilize your condition and reawaken the symbiote within your bloodstream, you will be saturated with mystical energy derived from special ISO-8 I've constructed that combines the DNA of Grimm and Dark Gaia."
"What is this 'Dark Gaia'?" Salem questioned.
With Doom answering, "A primordial hyper energy organism from the dawn of time that grows strong on the negative energies of the world. Essentially Mobius' counterpart of your Grimm God and Earth's Symbiotes. Eggman was able to harvest some of its essence as ISO-8 during his tests with the Dimensional Harvesters that led to that dimension's end."
"Three Dark Powers from Three Worlds, plus the essence of the Spider. You believe this will be enough to restore me to full mystical power?" Salem asked.
"Indeed. But as a tradeoff for greater darkness, it will weaken the light of your immortality. Reduce your time of regeneration and strengthen your pain receptors, leaving you far more vulnerable to those that have mastered light, holy power, or electricity." Doom claimed, very subtly implying this is on purpose to avoid making Salem too powerful.
"I welcome all pain. Do it." Salem sternly ordered for him to begin the experiment.
Without uttering another word, Doom presses a switch. The injection pads click as Salem readies herself for the unseen needles being deployed to her skin. The blue fluid slowly empties from the spider-serum injections as they cause the sorceress's veins to swell and her head beginning to shake. Doom hits another button, which causes padded restraints closing in on Salem's head, holding her still as her widen eyes glow an intense red, turning almost spider-like as the injector vials empty completely.
"Hmph." Doom scoffs while pulling down a lever, causing Salem's table to slowly tilt upright and rise like a rocket ready to launch. The panels unfold, with a hood lowering over Salem's head, sealing her inside the mystical chamber. With a flick of a switch, Doom has his ISO-8 reactors come online to bombard the witch with an absurd amount of Dark Gaia Grimm mystical energy.
As the energy levels climb to 100%, Salem starts screaming. Screaming with painful agony she hasn't felt in a long time because of her immortal body, "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Like before with the Cosmic Emeralds, her body cannot handle the overflowing dark power being infused to her DNA. This time, however, she endures it with all her willpower. Her determination to erase her immortality and slay all enemies that have made her suffer over the millennium. The God Brothers. Ozpin. Spider-Man. Shadow the Hedgehog. They will all pay. She promises herself to make them pay.
Seamlessly, the Witch feels herself changing from the cellular level as the machine reaches full power. The basis of her newfound Spider-DNA is being infused with unique Dark Gaia Grimm DNA. Her broken symbiote cells were then revived stronger than before as they help in permanently stabilizing her DNA, just in time for her magic to return in frightening full.
The experiment appears to be done moments after Salem stopped screaming. With a push of a button, Doom opens the chamber that is releasing a blast of steam, hiding the sorceress as she casually emerges. "How are you feeling?" asked Doom with a stoic yet intrigued tone.
The steam begins clearing to reveal Salem in all her glory. She looks the same as she did before, on the outside. But on the inside, she feels stronger, faster, more attuned to the dark mystical forces than ever before, which makes her happy enough to darkly smile, "Reborn." to confirm she has become the Spider-Queen of Darkness.

Arc House, Argus. Remnant.
BGM-Sonic Unleashed OST-Apotos (Day)
"I can't believe I'm meeting your sister! I have so many questions."
"And you have six other sisters?"
"Oh, I can give you the rundown later!"
"Will you guys knock it off?" Jaune angrily shouted at the teasing trio of Ruby, Spider-Man, and Nora from pestering him about his family life.
After preventing the Masters of Evil from destroying Argus, the Dimensional Avengers decided to take a small break with Team JNPR in a living at a home they've been staying for some time. A three-story house belonging to Saphron Cotta-Arc, Jaune's caring older sister, and her adorable son, Adrian. Most of the gang are relaxing with sandwiches they've been loving, with Yang and Weiss playing around with Adrian on the ceiling since all three of them have spider-powers.
"What? I love telling stories about my baby brother." smiled Saphron, teasing Jaune by squeezing his cheek.
Already annoyed by the teasing, Jaune groans, "I am not a baby!" while flailing his arms at his elder sister. "THAT is a baby." He points up at Adrian, who huffs back at him.
"Awwwwwwww…!" uttered by both Yang and Weiss as they get all wide-eyed fussing over Adrian, with them both making baby talk at him.
"Aww, you're so cute! Yes you are! Oh, look at your little face!"
"Aww, coochie-coochie! Aw, baby! Oh my!"
"WOULD YOU IDIOTS KNOCK IT OFF AND BRING THAT BABY DOWN ALREADY?!" Knuckles furiously shouted at the girls on the ceiling, more concerned about the baby's safety than them.
"So Saphron, you're the only Arc living here?" asked Blake.
"Yep!" Saphron answered, giving a quick glance at the Arc Family photo on the nearest bookshelf. "Moved the second I could. Jaune and I are the only two living away from home. I guess he just wanted to be like his big sis." She teased her baby bro.
Jaune groans, "I, uh…"
"Aw, you didn't deny it!" Saphron teased again, which riles Jaune enough for them to play fight with each other by pulling each other's cheeks.
BGM End
While the two siblings are busy beating each other up, Ren wants everyone else to discuss with him about the increasingly serious situation their dimensions are suffering. "So let me see if I got this right…There's this new interdimensional terrorist organization calling themselves the Masters of Evil that have been wreaking havoc across our worlds in search for these Exo Stones that'll help them conquer all reality. And to accomplish that, they infected our dimensions with the Spider-Virus to create an unstoppable army that they're controlling with the Espeon Stone."
"NOT to mention there's an evil clone of Sonic running around that has all our DNA and can compete with him as Super Sonic?" Pyrrha added, talking about Grimadoom.
"That's the gist of it." Spidey remarked, "We still don't know who's leading them or where their HQ is. All I know is that we can't let them get the other Stones, and that we have less than a day left before everyone that's been infected turn into spider-monsters. That includes all of you…" He gloomily glances at Team JNPR and Saphron, all who have been infected.
"You guys been in Mistral for a while. How did the outbreak start for you guys?" Ruby asked Team JNPR.
BGM-Spider-Man 3 (Game) OST-Black Suit Theme #3
Jaune lowers his head to frown, "It just…happened." He stated upon reminiscing the beginnings of Mistral's spider-outbreak, "One night we were all sleeping, then we woke up the next morning with spider-powers. And so did everyone else in the kingdom. It was crazy."
"Crazy fun!" Nora interjected.
"It didn't last." Jaune sorrowfully continues, "Soon after people began mutating. Getting new powers until those powers overwhelmed them, turning them into monsters. Haven Academy was the first to fall, then the capital city. Wasn't long 'til the spiders ruled most of the kingdom." He proclaimed after remembering the horrific conquest of Mistral.
"I already lost someone to the Virus…" said Saphron, looking depressed as she recalls how the Spider-Virus impacted her life, "My wife, Terra Cotta, she also mutated. We were strolling through the city when it happened. She started feeling sick before vomiting acid. Next thing I knew she tried eating me and Adrian with her monster fangs. It was horrifying, and I have no idea where she is."
"I'm very sorry to hear that." Spider-Man somberly apologizes to his host, "This is all on me. I should've hunted down Warren before any of this started."
"No need to apologize. You're still just a kid doing your best. You saved our whole world before. I know you'll do it again." said Saphron, smiling alongside her baby son as they have complete faith in Spider-Man.
"Thank you. I WILL do my best." Spidey nodded.
BGM End
"Anything else you guys know? Like how the Virus was distributed? Because in our worlds it was released as a gas." Tails asked Jaune's team.
"Same here from what we heard. We also heard rumors it was because of a flying faceship. Weird, right?" Nora revealed, which is sounding very interesting to the heroes.
"Not to me. Eggman likes to put his face on his ships all the time. The Masters MUST be hiding in a new Death Egg, or something as ridiculous as the Octo Egg!" Sonic realized.
"A secret space station that can travel between dimensions with technology that can hide themselves from the public eye…That will require an immeasurable amount of energy." Spidey pondered.
"The Master Emerald!" Knuckles exclaimed upon connecting the dots in his head, "That's why they stole it! To save up on gas! No wonder I wasn't able to sense a hint of it back on Mobius. They've been using it to hide in other dimensions!"
"And I'm guessin' it's not here anymore?" asked Spidey.
Knuckles sadly frowns, "No. It's long gone from this world."
"What about a Dimensional Harvester? If we can find the one here, we can use it to help us find their hideout." Ruby suggested.
"Unfortunately, I haven't been picking up any cosmic anomalies in the area. They must've wised up and moved their operations outside the kingdom." answered Tails, having used his Miles Electric to scan for any Harvester.
"That's just peachy. And we can't exactly leave the kingdom like this. We're running out of time." Yang scowled, annoyed that they're running out of leads that'll help them find their enemies.
Fortunately, there is still hope, and it's coming as a beeping sound from Weiss's Scroll. She takes it out of her pocket to check then answer the call, speaking to someone she wholeheartedly recognizes, "Hello? …Yeah, he's here. …Alright. I'll put you on holo-speaker." The Heiress then turns to Peter with, "It's my sister. She wants to speak with you."
"Winter?" The shocked Spidey responded.
BGM-Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 OST-Earth's Mightiest Tower
Weiss places her Scroll on the table as it projects a hologram of the stern Winter Schnee, her elder sister and Huntress Specialist of the Atlesian Military. "Greetings, Spider-Man. Dimensional Avengers. It would seem you are all handling yourselves just fine during this crisis." She formally greeted her friends.
"More or less. This isn't a rollercoaster I ever want to ride again. What's up?" Spidey responded.
"I called to thank you and your team for protecting Argus, and to inform you that I'll be supervising your activities during your stay in Mistral. General Ironwood has placed me in charge of quarantining the kingdom until the collaboration between Atlas, GUN, and SHIELD finish developing a cure." Winter debriefed the heroes.
Sonic grins, "Nice to see you military folk are gettin' cozy. What's the update?"
"We're about to ship to Doctor Richards of an experimental cure Atlas has been developing since this outbreak started for him to analyze and perfect. A serum created from special ISO-8 that harnesses antibodies from symbiote samples left behind from the Invasion." Winter informed.
"Sonofa-ARE YOU PEOPLE THAT STUPID?! Have you people forgotten how CLOSE the symbiotes were in destroying our worlds?!" Spidey shouted at the specialist with ferocious fury as he's clearly upset with Atlas secretly experimenting with symbiotes.
"We haven't." Winter retorted with stern calmness to counter Peter's rage, "But it left us with the rare opportunity to study their biology and prevent any future attacks and hopefully develop the revolutionary means to heal humanity of all diseases and illness."
"Military better not use that as an excuse to build weapons. I'll know, and I WON'T be happy." Spidey sternly warned the specialist who doesn't seem to care what he thinks.
"Secondly…" Winter is then ready to deliver another bombshell that will definitely surprise the younglings, "We may have gained a lead on who is leading the Masters of Evil. Our intel suggests it's Salem."
Weiss gasps, "But that's impossible! She was rendered powerless after the Invasion and imprisoned in that Negative Zone, wasn't she? There was no way for her to escape!"
"One of her new allies set her free. Which one is irrelevant. Despite her power loss, she is still a deadly schemer hiding in the shadows that is threatening our existence." Winter proclaimed.
"Jackal did hint someone with magic is behind all this. It could be Salem." Ruby believed.
"I dunno…Something about this feels misleading." Knuckles thought otherwise, thinking someone else is leading the Masters.
"We don't have much to go on. Once we find Salem, we'll learn the truth." Ruby declared sternly.
"Leave that investigation to another team that's already on the case. I require your efforts in maintaining quarantine." said Winter, before turning back to Spider-Man to ask him something, "Spider-Man. You know more about Spiders than anyone else amongst our dimensions. Know any weaknesses that we can exploit to neutralize the armies?"
"Well there is Ethyl Chloride. That chemical is nasty." Spidey answered, as he starts pondering, "But their Spider-Sense will help them avoid it…First we'll need to disrupt it. Create machines that can jam their Tingles and set them up around the kingdom. Four in total. They'll create a 'psychic barrier' that'll keep the infected from breaking quarantine. I can easily set up the right frequency that'll block everyone's Spider-Sense 'cept for mine."
"That's amazingly selfish." Nora glared, not too happy she'll lose her spectacular sixth sense.
"At least I'M not in danger of mutating into a MONSTER!" Spidey retorted.
"It's settled. Rendezvous with my scientists to begin working on the Spider-Sense Jammers and Ethyl Chloride-based weaponry. If this works, I'll send the data for Mobius and Earth to utilize for their quarantine. Hurry! We're minutes away from a full kingdom-wide contamination!" Winter ordered both the Avengers and Team JNPR to follow their new mission objectives.

BGM-Spider-Man 3 (Game) OST- Black Suit Theme #3
Not long after her dark spider-evolution, Salem decided to put on some new clothes that befit a Spider-Queen. It isn't much. Simply switched to a stunningly black jumpsuit with red boots and a stylized red spider-emblem on her chest, as well as wearing an unhooded purple cloak. She still has her white hair down but her eyes are closed, as she's in the middle of meditating within a training room with Doom observing her.
The Spider-Queen focuses. Concentrating with all her newfound spider-power until she manifests an illusionary model of the Web of Life and Destiny behind her back, "Amazing…There is no other term to describe this feeling. To think Spider-Totems have this much potential…A Web of Life that entangles countless realities…Gifting me glimpses of possible futures…Of worlds where Exo Stones are hiding…"
Slowly uncontrollable, Salem becomes engulfs with magic as she further taps into the Great Web to learn more of the Exo Stones. She experiences strange visions of the Stones, of the other six that are hidden within the multiverse: A crimson red Stone with ultimate power over War. A white Stone that spells the Genesis of creation and destruction. A golden Stone made of light and Dreams. A black Stone made of darkness and Nightmares. A pink Stone that can Evolve anything. And, a rainbow Stone that holds power over the Stars as well as parallel dimensions. These six Stones come together with the other two that are known to form the complete set of absolute cosmic power over the multiverse, unleashing an agonizingly terrifying vision that forces Salem to drop on her knees in exhaustion, horrifically stunned from what she had just witnessed.
"What did you witness?" asked Doom, gently helping her back on her feet.
"The greatest power in the multiverse…unparalleled in their destructive capabilities…" Salem pants, seductively leaning on Doom's armor to relax for a moment while she catches her breath, "You were right in claiming there are eight. They are out there, separated, each desiring to be together…"
"And we will find them in due time, once you have mastered your spider-abilities and our respective worlds are conquered." Doom replied stoically while giving her a soft hug to comfort her.
Slyly, Salem teases, "Is it wise of you to train me? We are allies, but who is taking advantage of who? And who's to say this alliance won't end with a betrayal for sole possession of the Stones?"
"I am training you because I am your master. Anyone taking advantage of the other's weakness is doing them a favor as long as it leads us into accomplishing our mutual goal for the Stones. And betrayal is a possibility from this alliance of egos, most notably from Eggman and Octavius. It's important not to lose sight of what drives us: Peace, respect, glory...but the moment you put your desires before the others...ALL of ours will be lost. This isn't a threat, this is simply the truth. The path to your desires is only found...through me." Doom proclaimed his truth coldly to the witch.
"You truly are a man to admire, Victor." Salem expresses some genuine respect for the Latverian King as she walks out from their little hug, "Being with you has made me nostalgic of my early days. Conquering a world like a god to create the paradise that the old Gods could not. With a plan in motion to remake humanity into what they could never be, and destroy those who deny our dreams. Rest assured, if you can trust my words, I will NOT betray you." She proclaimed, changing up her plans a little to ensure both her and Doom's dreams are realized in the end.
"Then continue your training. Use the Web to discover what the Children are up to." Doom ordered her to locate the Dimensional Avengers as a test of her new powers.
Complying to his commands without hesitation or argument, Salem returns to her meditative stance as she conjures up the Great Web with her magic, this time with her eyes glowing with psychic energy. One strand of the Web displays to Doom of Pyrrha helping to set up a strange mechanical tower at some train station, "I can sense it. This child by the name of 'Pyrrha Nikos'. A friend of the Avengers, and part of our colony. They seem to be preparing 'jamming machines' that will weaken our children's connection to the Web."
"I will have Jackal send an army to destroy them." Doom commented.
"No." Salem objected calmly, "Leave this one to me. A good way to test what I'm made of." She declared with a villainous smile.
BGM End
Back at Mistral…
"How're we looking up there, Tails?" Pyrrha smiled at the foxy genius working on their jamming tower.
Alongside Ruby and a squadron of Atlas' best soldiers, the duo has been ordered by Winter to guard a quiet Mistral Train Station that serves as a makeshift fort for their Spider-Sense Jammer that's nearing completion. So far so good with no Spiders in sight, leaving Tails at peace as he's seconds away from activating his Jammer. Once he did, he smiles back at Pyrrha conforming, "Our Spider-Sense Jammer is fully operational!"
Touching her ear comm, Ruby sternly informs her other teammates of, "Jammer 2's online! How about everyone else?"
Stationed somewhere in the kingdom is another Atlesian Squadron led by Sonic, Yang, and Ren. They've been tasked in protecting a Just Rite fuel station that's holding their Jammer on the roof. Yang relaxes for a bit, walking out of the station drinking water while Ren whips out his pistols and Sonic returns from a quick scout of the area for any spiders. "Jammer 3's up and running with us ready for a fight in case bugs swing by to refuel their webs." Sonic said via their comm link.
Team 4 consists of Jaune, Knuckles, and Weiss as they're in charge of defending Shion, a village that was recently destroyed by bandits before the outbreak. "We're still waiting for our Jammer to show up. Luckily there're no spiders around our area, but you may never know." Jaune told his friends.
'Just relax and leave your worries to your Spider-Sense.' responded Spider-Man through their comms.
"For the next few minutes we have it." Jaune snarked.
'Then use teamwork to compensate.' quipped Spidey.
Over at the abandoned Oniyuri Village, Spider-Man is hanging upside down from his web as he's nearly done finishing his squad's Spider-Sense Jammer, "Don't forget we have shield generators and Anti-Spider Weaponry almost done that'll show up in a flash if we need it. We'll be fine." He stated while activating his Jammer, "There. Jammer 1 activated! Once all four are activated, everyone's Tingles will be untangled. But if one of them gets blown up, then say goodbye Spider-Mistral and hello Spider-Remnant." before backflipping to the ground to meet up with his mission partners, Blake and Nora.
"Surprised we got these done so fast. Forgot you and Tails are both super-geniuses." Nora smiled at her amazing friend.
"Helps we had ISO-Dust to exponentially boost their signal strength, otherwise we'd still be building dozens of these across the kingdom." replied Spidey, before giving a worrisome glance at the large scarlet spider-like robots the Military placed as additional guards, "Also, when did Atlas get into the Spider-Slaying business? Did I do something to make them jealous?"
"These Spider Droids have been in production before you showed up in Remnant. I speak from experience." said Blake, recalling an encounter with Spider Droids during her last White Fang raid on a cargo train.
'Be grateful I convinced the newer models to be colored in your honor.' Weiss said, upon Spidey taking note of the Advanced Spider Droids that share his iconic red-and-blue colors.
"Thanks. Just hope you didn't have them programmed to slay me after making a bad joke." Spidey quipped.
'That'll be part of the next batch of upgrades.' Weiss snarked, which got an adorable giggle from the webhead.
'All units, listen up!' Winter exclaimed, coldly earning everyone's attention as she has something important to inform them all, 'Jammer 4 is en route to Shion. ETA: 3 minutes!'
BGM-One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 OST-Strong Men of the New World
At in that moment, some serious trouble is being sensed by Spidey's team. "Perfect. 'Cause we're about to have some company to keep us company." joked Spidey, as his squad get ready to face a monstrous storm.
Spider-Monsters that were minding their own business in the wild mysteriously gained the interest to assault the Oniyuri base. They're about to rampage through entrances seeking to destroy the Spider-Sense Jammer, with an Atlas Soldier shouting to his fellow men, "Spiders incoming!" before shooting at several with their rifles.
"SHOWTIME! Push them back! Don't let them anywhere near the Jammer! We'll use the shields to repel them the INSTANT all four Jammers have been activated!" Spidey ordered his squadron as he takes charge in resisting the spider-swarm.
As stated before, if one Jammer gets destroyed, the entire psychic barrier will be broken and leave the Spiders unstoppable. The heroes cannot allow that to happen. With all their power and teamwork, they clash intensely with the monsters, with many Atlas Soldiers already sacrificing their lives to ensure the Jammer's safety. Spider-Man swings over the battlefield firing Web Bombs that webs all enemies in range, making it easier for Nora to bash some with her hammer and Blake to slash several with her dual blades. "WEB TACKLE!" shouted Spidey, using two massive pieces of webbed debris that he rapidly spins around to really blow away a spider-squadron, "STRIKE! Best game of tower defense I've played yet."
'Spidey, we have a problem!' Ruby urgently contacted her friend.
"YOU have a problem?" retorted Spidey while punching back a spider-monster, "Doubt it's any worse than dealing with party crashers!"
Meanwhile at the Train Station, Ruby snarks, "Oh it's just as bad." before quickly spinning her Crescent Rose around herself to knock all lunging spider-monsters backward. "Spiders have invaded our base!" She informed everyone while taking note of the sudden spider-incursion that is making a mess of everything.
Atlesian Knights quickly prove to be threatening in large groups as one saturate monsters with riflefire, prompting a singular Man-Spider to slaughter them from the shadows. Several spiders ruthlessly pursue Pyrrha backflipping away from their attacks until she jumps over and webs her pursuers in the middle of train tracks, where they are swiftly rammed by a train hijacked by Tails's genius. The two friends celebrate their little victory before another swarm comes rushing to confront them. "Another wave inbound! They just keep coming!" Pyrrha scowled.
Simultaneously, the Spiders invading the Just Rite base are barely being fended off by Sonic's squad. As an Atlesian Paladin collides fists with an equally-powerful Man-Spider, both Yang and Ren are firing away at any other spider lunging at their Jammer. Sonic lends them a hand with Light Speed Attacks that stun a majority until he's in the air unleashing a powerful shockwave from a high-speed spin that sweeps them off the roof.
Sonic scowls, "They just came outta nowhere, attacking all of us at the same time! This CAN'T be a coincidence!"
Over at Shion Village, with heavy assistance from Spider Droids, Jaune's team is doing their best clearing space for when their Jammer arrives in the next minute. Using skills she learned from Doctor Strange as a former student of Avengers Academy, Weiss casts a spirit version of herself to help her fire a mystical barrage of Bolts of Balthakk that fiercely fends off numerous spiders. One Man-Spider throws a mighty punch that Jaune blocks with his shield, claiming, "The Masters of Evil must've found out about our plan! Using their Espeon Stone to stage this attack!" swiftly as Knuckles knocks out the overgrown bug.
"Dunno. Whatever's controlling them feels less cosmic and more magic." Knuckles sensed.
"So Salem IS behind this and somehow got her power back. But since when could her magic control spiders and at this scale?" Weiss wondered, completely unaware that Salem recently transformed into the Spider-Queen.
'Team 4!' Winter interrupted her sister's thoughts, 'Your Jammer is ready to land! Clear some space then activate it!'
Flying through the skies is an Atlas Manta ship that is seconds away from dropping a Spider-Sense Jammer into the chaotic battlefield. Right after slashing down a giant spider, Jaune shouts at Weiss to, "Activate it! We'll cover you!" The Heiress hurries to the dropped Jammer, quickly interacting with the console until the device powers up to its maximum. Now, all four Spider-Sense Jammers have been activated, and with them synchronizing their signals, they project an invisible psychic barrier so wide and powerful that it weakens every mutated spider across the entire Kingdom of Mistral.
'All Spider-Sense Jammers are online and functional!' Weiss informed all teams.
"It worked! Can't feel my Spider-Sense anymore." Blake noted.
"That's a bad thing while still in the middle of a warzone!" snarked Nora while defending herself from a Spider that is frantically trying to bite her head off.
"NOW! The shields!" Spidey ordered.
BGM End
All at once, the shield generators of each Jammer base are activated in the spectacular form of energy beams hitting the sky that then burst into impenetrable energy domes that only push back mutated spiders until each base was finally safe. Spiders try to break in with all their fury but in the end their efforts were fruitless and were forced to retreat, leaving the heroes with a victory their soldiers happily celebrate.
BGM-One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 OST-Victory!
"All the spiders have retreated and the shields are holding up, only blocking those who have reached Stage 3 of the infection. Guessing the same is said for everyone else?" Spidey contacted the other teams.
'Yup. Still, we need to keep an eye out for another attack since we all lost our Spider-Sense.' Ruby responded.
"Everyone 'cept me."
'Don't rub it in.'
'Leave guarding the Jammers to my men. I have another mission that just came up for the Avengers and Team JNPR.' chimed in by Winter.
"And what would that be?" Spidey asked.
'Taking back Haven Academy. According to Sienna Kahn, Jackal made his base over there.' Winter informed.
Shocked from what she had just heard and already wanting clarification, Blake remarks with, "Wait a second! Did you just mention…Sienna Kahn?"

"The mission was a failure." Doom commented, having watched his Spider-Army fail in destroying the Jammers.
"Yes. But it was a successful test run in mastering my new powers. I am beyond the range of their bothersome Jammers." said Salem, unlinking from the Great Web for now to properly speak with her leader, "Right now I can reach into the minds of an entire island's worth of spiders, bend them to my will. Perhaps I will force some to accept their evolution, surprise the heroes with this upon their eventual raid on Haven."
"Contact Jackal of your plans. I must return to the Sanctorum to oversee construction of the World Spidericizer." Doom ordered, whilst revealing the name of his secret superweapon that'll help them conquer the dimensions.
Salem softly smiles, "As you wish, Victor." before the dark sorcerers go their separate ways.
Unbeknownst to the villains, the Land of Darkness has just been infiltrated by a Quinjet sporting the latest in stealth technology, rendering it and its mysterious passengers completely invisible to the Grimm that patrol this demonic wasteland. "We've tracked down the source of the cosmic anomalies. Does everyone remember the mission?" asked by a Shadowy Superspy piloting the ship.
"You four go have fun capturing Salem and shutting down the Dimensional Harvester, while the rest of us stay behind as backup." responded by a Scarlet Huntress Bandit wearing a Grimm Mask.
"Forgot to mention keeping an eye out for Ozpin. No doubt Salem's behind his disappearance." remarked by a Cosmic Cop wearing a golden helmet.
"Like I care about the old man." The Huntress Bandit snarked.
"Enough squabbling. The Dimensions are counting on our success." sternly said by a Black Hedgehog, revealing himself to be Shadow the Hedgehog as he steps out of the shadows.
Alongside the Ultimate Lifeform is his own secret team of interdimensional heroes consisting of: Black Widow, the Avenging Superspy of Earth. Raven Branwen of Remnant, Part-Time Huntress, Part-Time Bandit. Nova of Earth, the Human Rocket of the Nova Corps. Qrow Branwen of Remnant, Badass Huntsman with a drinking problem. Rouge the Bat of Mobius, Sexy Jewel Thief. E-123 Omega of Mobius, the Ultimate E-Series Robot. And Winter Schnee, who's busy dealing with the spider-crisis back at Mistral which is why she isn't taking part in this discreet mission. Together they are the Secret Avengers, formed by Captain America after the Symbiote Invasion as a black-ops strike team to covertly deal with interdimensional threats that can't be handled by the other Avengers.
"Director Fury gave us our orders. Let's go destroy the Masters of Evil!" Shadow declared, claiming his team will be the ones to defeat this dimensional menace.

KFX Here: Had some ideas I wanted to implement into this chapter but felt it would be padding, so I'll try to implement them next time since it'll be an all-out battle between the heroes and Jackal's forces. Also, say hello to this remake's version of the Secret Avengers. Roster is nearly the same as the original, with Nova being a new addition, and with Luke Cage and Iron Fist taken out simply because they didn't fit in before. Moon Knight is part of the team, but won't appear for this story. We're nearing endgame folks. About 5 more chapters left before moving onto the Fire Emblem Remake. Any advice/tips for that remake, just contact me.
AuraBender150: For now, the characters will remember both timelines, but their memories of the old timeline will eventually fade away. Don't think too hard about it. Any future remake won't be THAT radically different from the original. Main stories will be the same, just with different details. Also, only the Masters of Evil Saga is getting the remake treatment.
TheCommonCold: Been thinking of a NiGHTS crossover but can't think of a way to make it good, which is why I settled for their cameo appearances in The Solaris Dynasty.
Next Time: Stairway to Haven!
