BGM-Spider-Man: Web of Shadows OST-Web of Shadows
Cinder: My name is Cinder Fall. I'm on a quest to obtain the ultimate power. Our forces invaded the Tricarrier to destroy the remaining symbiotes. Little did we know that Salem would summon an entire planet of them to invade our worlds. She retreated to the Symbiote World, with Spider-Man and Shadow giving chase, leaving me and the remaining heroes to stop Venom and Carnage. It'll take a miracle for us to survive this. Let us hope Spider-Man and Shadow are up to the task.

Issue 24: Symbiote Dimensions (Part 2)-Queen in Black
Symbiote World
BGM-Shadow the Hedgehog OST-Black Comet
A portal open in the skies of an alien forest, where all of the flora and fauna are bonded to black symbiotes. Spider-Man and Shadow jump out of the portal, and as Shadow safely lands on a symbiotic runway, Spidey freefalls towards a black river. A symbiote crocodile-like creature rises from the river and opens its mouth at the falling webslinger.
Spidey's eyes widen at the crocodile, "Wuh oh." He quickly fires a webline at a symbiote tree and narrowly web slings away from the crocodile's mouth. "Whew. That was WAY too close." said Spidey, swinging near Shadow on the runway, "This is it, huh? The Symbiote World…Think this is the homeworld of the Symbiotes, or one of the planets they conquered?"
"Does it make a difference?" Shadow raised an eyebrow at his question.
"Probably not, but I'm going with the latter based on my little experience visiting alien planets." quips Spidey while glancing his alien surroundings, "Air is breathable, and gravity's a little heavy. Nothing like my friendly neighborhood, but it is to the symbiotes. They're everywhere, no doubt." He looks ahead and was nearly caught off-guard by a small horde of symbiote bats, birds, and small winged dragons flying at him, "Like these winged things!" He quips while dodging the aliens.
Shadow runs into small Venom heads that repeatedly try lunging at him, but swiftly moves away from them at high speed. He then runs into three giant symbiote plants that spit goo, forcing him to jump away from them, "Even the plants are symbiotes!"
Right after that, a symbiote gunship warps into the forest to confront the invaders. "So is that gunship!" Spidey quips, watching it spawn symbiote soldiers wielding various weapons that they immediately fire at the heroes. Spidey disarms the aliens with his webbing, allowing Shadow to quickly destroy them with Homing Attacks before obliterating the gunship that tried to shoot him.
"The entire planet is after us." Shadow says while landing in front of Spider-Man, "This is what will become of our worlds if we do not stop this invasion."
"And how are the two of us gonna defeat an entire planet?" Spidey quipped.
"By destroying the hive-mind, and that means destroying Salem. Once she's dead, the rest of the symbiotes will follow." Shadow replied, speaking from his experience with the Black Arms.
"If she wasn't immortal, I would still hate this whole 'killing her' plan." quipped Spider-Man.
"Salem may be immortal, but her symbiote is NOT. And it's just been proven that her symbiote is vulnerable to electricity." Shadow remarks, continuing his run on the runway.
"Should've dragged Electro into this. Or called Thor." Spidey joked, continuing his web-swinging through the cloudless orange sky.
"No time. I have my Chaos Spears, and you have your Electric Webbing. With them supercharged with the Chaos Emeralds, the fight will end quick." Shadow responded.
"One problem: We don't know where she is! She could be anywhere on this planet! I don't have a Symbiote-Sense anymore to track her down." Spidey commented.
Shadow says, "I can use the Chaos Emeralds to track down the Cosmic Emeralds in her possession. Remember what Dr. Strange said. In close proximity, the Emeralds are like pair of magnets that call out to each other."
"I also remember hearing that having both sets exist in the same reality could END all of reality." Spidey quipped, worrying they might cause the destruction of the universe.
"Only if they are misused." Shadow reminded.
"Which is exactly what Salem is doing with the Cosmic Emeralds!" Spidey retorted.
"Calm down. Reality will be fine since we have experience controlling the seven Chaos Emeralds." Shadow assured him.
"Can't say the same for Salem. Who's to say pulling two planets from their respective dimensions wasn't a happy accident? Just in case, let's hurry and beat her up before the universe explodes. I think I have a plan to stop her." Spidey quipped, having a plan in mind to defeat Salem.
Shadow smiles, "Sure. We'll use Chaos Control to bypass the planet's defenses and search for Salem!" He looks ahead with a Chaos Emerald in hand and shouts, "Chaos Control!" and causing himself and Spidey to warp out of the forest.
BGM End
Meanwhile at Westopolis, on Planet Mobius…
Like Remnant, Mobius was suddenly warped into Spider-Man's universe and is warped with symbiote roots in the sky sprouted from the Symbiote World. The entire planet's population is scared, staring at the sky in fear while talking. Suddenly, the worlds of Mobius, Earth, and Remnant hear a mysterious female voice speaking to them from the roots being used as loudspeakers. 'WE ARE THE KLYNTAR, EMISSARIES FROM THE STARS WHO HAVE COME TO TAKE CONTROL OF THIS PLANET.' said Salem, speaking from Symbiote World, 'TO THE FOOLISH HUMANS WHO ARE OPPOSING US…DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND HALT YOUR USELESS RESISTANCE.'
At Planet Remnant, Atlesian Command Center
'IT IS NOW OBVIOUS HOW INCOMPETENT YOU HUMANS ARE…' said Salem, as her voice is being heard by General Ironwood and his soldiers in an Atlas military base.
Scowling at the sky, Ironwood slams his fist on a console, "Damn it…!"
Beacon Academy, City of Vale
'FROM THIS DAY ON, I, THE SYMBIOTE QUEEN, SHALL RULE YOUR WORLD!' Salem continues speaking, with Professor Ozpin looking out the window of his office with a somber expression.
"Salem…H-How can this be…" Ozpin muttered, recognizing the voice of his former lover.
'AND NOW WE SHALL ELIMINATE ALL OF THE WORLD'S INCOMPETENT LEADERS AND THE HEROES WHO RESIST.' Salem announced, much to Ozpin's horror.
"Wh-What!?" Ozpin responded.
Central City. Planet Mobius.
BGM-Sonic Generations OST-Crisis City (Modern)
'TAKE A GOOD, LONG TASTE OF THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA FILLED WITH TERROR AND DESPAIR!' Salem proclaimed, as a variety of symbiotes rain down across the planet from the roots.
A massive horde of symbiotes lay siege to Central City, with a large and strong symbiote monster crushing a car as it lands, then smashes another one that drives by with a feral snarl, sending it flying towards a building on the opposite side of the street. GUN Soldiers were already in the city and firing their guns at the invading aliens. A soldier got blasted down while his allies fire at a large symbiote, who furiously throws a police car that explodes and kills a few more soldiers. A symbiote soldier jumps on a car and blasts its alien gun to kill more GUN soldiers.
From afar, a female GUN agent by the name of Topaz stares in horror of the fires and explosions that are destroying the city. She receives a call from her commander and touches her earpiece to hear him, 'Contacting all field commanders in Central City. I'm authorizing full use of all tactical weapons! I want those symbiotes stopped and buried! Failure is NOT an option!'
Topaz nods, turning around to face her army of GUN soldiers and robots to say, "You heard the Commander! Let's show these aliens they invaded the wrong planet!" She rallies her men before leading them to a massive counterattack against the Symbiotes.
Running towards the massive battle is Sonic the Hedgehog, leading his Freedom Fighters and Knuckles into the fray. "We can't allow GUN to hog all the fun." Sonic smiled.
"The city has been evacuated and we know the symbiotes' weaknesses! Show no mercy, Freedom Fighters!" Sally Acorn commanded her team.
The Freedom Fighters' presence quickly turns the tide to their favor. Antoine delivers a sword-slashing Spin Attack, effortlessly slashing through several symbiotes. Bunnie blasts aliens off their hovercrafts and into patches of fire to severely burn them. While Big throws a car to destroy a large symbiote, Tails throws a sonic bomb in the middle of a crowd which detonates and severely stuns the symbiotes, allowing the likes of Sally, Amy, and Knuckles to easily dispatch with their swift attacks.
"Sonic! Still wearing that Flame Ring?" Tails asked him.
"You bet!" smiled Sonic, wearing a golden bracelet on his wrist. He destroys a symbiote with a fiery somersault, then jumps and Homing Attacks more aliens that were giving GUN trouble while enveloped in a fiery aura, "Makes it easier roasting these symbiotes, both figuratively and literally!"
"Rotor! How's it coming destroying those roots?" asked Sally, contacting her teammate through her earpiece while slashing symbiotes.
In the sky, Rotor the Walrus is piloting the Sky Patrol alongside Cream, Cheese, and Nicole. 'Have my hands full fighting a dragon!' quips Rotor, while fighting against a massive Symbiote Dragon. The Sky Patrol fires a barrage of missiles at the dragon, weakening it but not enough to slow down its roaring rampage. The Symbiote Dragon lashes tendrils at the aircraft, damaging it before nearly knocking it out of the sky with a powerful claw strike.
On the streets, Sonic and Amy spot another Symbiote Dragon rampaging through the city and flying towards their direction. "Croquet Special!" Sonic shouts, quickly revving up a flaming Spin Dash.
"Gotcha!" Amy gets behind Sonic and uses her hammer as a croquet mallet to launch him towards the Symbiote Dragon as a flaming projectile. The dragon roars monstrously while opening its massive mouth to swallow Sonic, but the hedgehog bounces within its body at high speeds before piercing out through the back, weakening the dragon enough to crash into a building and have it collapse atop of it.
Sonic lands near the defeated dragon with a smiling quip, "Watch what you eat next time."
"SONIC!" Amy shouted in distress.
Hearing her, Sonic quickly turns around and is shocked to see Amy about to bond with a symbiote. "AMY! NOOO!" He hurries to save her, but he was too slow. The symbiote bonded with Amy, transforming her into a Venomized version of herself that snarls while smacking her hammer onto Sonic, sending him flying over the streets until he crashes. "No good! Amy's been infected!" He announced.
"NOT JUST HER!" shouted Sally, as she, Antoine, Big, and several GUN agents have been infected with symbiotes and are about to transform into Venomized version of themselves as well. "GRAAAAAAAAAG!" Symbiote Sally roars fiercely at the sky before she and her venomized army confronts the remaining Freedom Fighters and GUN agents.
"This…is not looking too good." Sonic quips with a frown while staring at his infected allies.
BGM End
Meanwhile on Planet Earth, at Stockholm, Sweden…
BGM-Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 OST-Planet in Peril
"Greetings from Agnafit!" said Thor, leading SHIELD fighter jets in an epic fight against flying symbiotes over the city of Stockholm.
'STOCKHOLM, Thor! It hasn't been called Agnafit since the Norse Age.' Iron Man quipped through the communicator. 'Everyone, stay sharp and stay in contact. We've already lost Cap and Hulk to the symbiotes. Salem thinks that by splitting the Avengers across the world she can divide and conquer, but be clear. We may be separated, but the Avengers will NEVER be divided!'
Hovering in the sky, Thor empowers his hammer with lightning and throws it, piercing through a horde of flying symbiotes before the hammer returns to his hand. The Thunder God raises his hammer to the sky, and as Symbiote Dragons fly towards him, he calls down a storm of divine lightning that utterly obliterate the dragons.
"Ha! These dragons fall as easily as the one from the Viking Age. They cannot handle my lightning!" Thor boasted.
Suddenly, Thor was blasted down from the sky by a tall humanoid symbiote that resembles Venom, but with a crown of antlers upon its head and a red dragon emblem emblazoned on its chest and back. Quickly, Thor stops himself in midair and stares at the Super Symbiote, "I can tell this creature is different from the others. This one has possessed a divine spirit."
The Super Symbiote unleashes another massive energy blast at Thor, who counters with his own massive beam. Both attacks collide and clash for a moment until it reached a stalemate. Quickly, Thor flies towards the symbiote and pummels it with powerful blows from his hammer. "How dare you puppeteer a god! HAVE AT THEE!" Thor spins his hammer, channeling a maelstrom of lightning that he fires at the Super Symbiote.
The lightning storm was powerful enough to peel back half of the symbiote that has bonded with the mysterious deity, partially revealing its true golden form with a face devoid of features. Thor gasps, stopping his attack as he seems to recognize the deity, "You are…"
"Thor…Away…" said the Light God, weakly trying to warn the thunder god to escape before it is too late. While he spoke, his symbiote slowly rebonds with him until he was completely taken over once more. He was quick to deliver an energy punch so powerful that it forces Thor to drop his hammer, stunning him before grabbing him with both hands. Then, the corrupted god uses pieces of his symbiote to forcibly bond Thor with one, turning him into a Venomized version of himself with his own red dragon emblem.
"GRAAAAAAAAH!" Symbiote Thor roared, bursting himself free from the Symbiote Light God. Then all of a sudden, both corrupted gods are teleported away.
BGM End
Meanwhile on Planet Remnant, Beacon Academy…
BGM-RWBY OST-Battle of Beacon
Both Vale and Beacon are being overwhelmed with symbiotes. Huntsmen, both professionals and trainees, as well as the police are throwing everything they have at them to slow them down, but it hasn't been easy. The tremendous increase in negativity polluting the kingdom attracted Grimm, who become infected with symbiotes, making them stronger and more dangerous for the police to handle as they easily get massacred.
Resembling a giant humanoid lizard, a Super Symbiote Creep Grimm leads the massive assault on Beacon Academy. Students and Professors are holding their own against the lesser symbiotes, but the Super Symbiote easily breaks through their ranks and decimates several huntsmen. Suddenly, loud music plays from the school's loudspeakers, critically stunning the symbiote horde as well as the Super Symbiote, forcing it to collapse to the ground.
"They're stunned! ATTACK!" shouted Glynda Goodwitch, leading several of her students on the offensive against the stunned symbiotes.
Lie Ren uses his weapons to slash the eyes of the Super Symbiote Creep, while Nora Valkyrie uses her hammer to slam the Creep's head into the ground. Then, both Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos perform a spinning slash attack with their swords, decapitating the Creep.
Nearby, Velvet Scarlatina of Team CFVY uses a copy of Crescent Rose as she imitates Ruby's overhead spin to slash a Symbiote Grappler. She then replicates Myrtenaster to deflect the punches of a Berserker and land a few blows before pushing it back with an Ember Celica imitation. Once after she lands a few shots, she slides under its fist, similar to Blake as she uses a Gambol Shroud copy and uses its strings to trip the Berserker.
Meanwhile, Professor Peter Port and Doctor Bartholomew Oobleck stand back-to-back with their weapons in hand as flying symbiotes circle around them. Port laughs enthusiastically, "One final match, Barty! PLACE YOUR BETS!"
Nearby, Weiss uses her glyphs to slash through a large group of stunned symbiotes until she meets up with Ruby, who just finished fighting off waves of unarmed symbiotes. "Nice idea using the school's loudspeakers to stun the symbiotes!" Weiss smiled, complimenting her partner with the brilliant idea to stun the aliens.
Suddenly, they spot Symbiote Gunships warp above Beacon and decimate the main building with cannon shots, forcibly disabling their loudspeakers that were harming the symbiotes. "It was a nice idea while it lasted." Ruby quipped.
"HEEELLLLLLLLPPPP…!" yelled Jaune, gaining Team RW's attention as he and the rest of Team JNPR, as well as Glynda, have become infected with their own symbiote.
Ruby gasps in shock upon witnessing their transformation, "JAUNE! They've been Venomized!"
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!" Symbiote Glynda roars furiously, using her telekinesis to stun Ruby and Weiss, lifting them up to repeatedly smashing them through several objects in the courtyard before painfully slamming them to the ground, leaving them weak and vulnerable for a finishing blow from Symbiote Team JNPR.
As the corrupted huntsmen lunge at Ruby and Weiss with the intent to kill them, Ozpin intercepts and uses his magic to surround himself with a rotating circle of flame, repelling the symbiotes whilst burning them.
"Professor Ozpin!" Ruby exclaims with shock from being rescued by her headmaster.
"Are you two alright?" Ozpin asks his students.
Ruby nods while she and Weiss stand up, "Yeah, but the symbiotes…They're everywhere. All across our worlds."
Ozpin scowls while staring at the Symbiote World, "This is all my fault. I never DREAMED Salem would go this far…I have to make this right."
"GRAAAAAAAAAH!" Suddenly, a Symbiote Dragon rams through the CCT, destroying it as it flies towards Ozpin at ferocious speeds. The immortal headmaster work together with Ruby and Weiss to blast it with fireballs from their respective weapons, but their efforts could barely slow it down. All of a sudden, the Dragon swallows Ozpin whole and flies away from Beacon.
"PROFESSOR!" yelled Ruby, watching the Symbiote Dragon flying into space towards the Symbiote World.
"RUBY! We have other problems!" shouted Weiss, noticing a symbiote horde rampaging towards them.
Ruby scowls at the aliens while holding out her scythe. "OUT OF OUR WAY!" She shouted angrily, dashing alongside Weiss to fight the mindless aliens.
BGM End
Symbiote Castle, Symbiote World
The Symbiote Dragon that swallowed Ozpin flies over a dark and symbiofied city, making its way towards a symbiotic castle that has been embedded with a giant sword-like structure. The dragon lands roof of the tall castle, then protrudes Ozpin out of its back and entangles his limbs with tendrils to prevent him from escaping. The headmaster struggles with all of his strength to break free from its grasp, but it was pointless. The dragon is incredibly strong and is stopping him from breaking loose.
BGM-Sonic and the Black Knight OST-Merlina: Queen of the Underworld
"Long time no see, Ozma." announced Salem, emerging out of the ground in front of Ozpin with the seven Cosmic Emeralds floating above her.
Ozpin stares at his corrupted lover, "Salem…What is the meaning of this?"
"Salem is no more. There is only the Symbiote Queen. And I want you to marvel at my accomplishments before you drown in darkness for all eternity." Salem smiled.
With a snap of her fingers, she summons Symbiote Thor and Symbiote Light God to stand behind her and shock Ozpin with this reveal, "Thor…? A-And is that…?"
"Yes…It is the God of Light. The one responsible for your reincarnation." Salem responded with a grin.
"How…?" An extremely stunned Ozpin questioned her.
Salem says, "Even the gods are vulnerable to a surprise attack. Osborn proved that much when he lay siege on Asgard. A simple use of Chaos Control to warp him to this planet and freeze him in time, while bonding him with a symbiote empowered by the Cosmic Emeralds. Not even his light can break free from the darkness I have entrapped him."
"But why Thor…? He has nothing to do with our past." Ozpin asked.
"His power, like all gods, are a threat to my rule. With the power of these Emeralds, I will BUTCHER them all and conquer the universe. And it's ALL thanks to YOU, Ozma! For failing to mentor that wounded soul. To think, you two are supposed to be like-minded souls." said Salem, smilingly mocking her lover while referring to Spider-Man.
Ozpin scowls as he retorts, "That is because Spider-Man is a purer soul than mine! He has surpassed me in many ways and has even taught ME a few lessons in responsibility, identity, AND forgiveness! Like him, YOU were corrupted by darkness. But unlike you, HE has reawakened his true self! It is not too late. Fight the darkness within, my love, and return to the light."
Salem frowns while gesturing to the Venomized Light God, "You seem to have forgotten that the Light rejected ME and CURSED me from his Fountain of Life. Now it is I who has cursed him to be my eternal slave. The Light of creation will be devoured into the primordial Darkness that I have taken command."
"YOU COMMAND!?" shouted a furious god that the former lovers instantly recognize.
Instantly, Salem warps away from a massive beam of dark energy that came from above. She scoffs while staring at her assailant, the God of Darkness, with a calm smile on her face, "I was expecting you would come."
"What gave you the right to KIDNAP my brother and take command of the dark?!" The Dark God asked the corrupted human.
"To lure you to your destruction." Salem remarks calmly, "There can only be ONE ruler of darkness, and you abandoned it to my command millennia ago."
The Dark God growls with anger, "Arrogant as before, mortal. Thinking you can simply usurp with outworldly lifeforms." He rockets down at her with immeasurable speeds and would've crashed onto Salem, if she didn't use Chaos Control teleport to the sky.
Salem thrust her hand at her symbiote followers in the city and uses telekinesis to steal them, gathering and manifesting the symbiotes into a singular form of a red sword made from living darkness that she now wields in her right hand. Spotting her in the sky, the Dark God flies at her while unleashing a massive energy beam. Salem blocks the beam with her new sword, then counters with an energy slash that surprisingly stuns the deity with pain.
"That is no ORDINARY blade." The Dark God noticed.
"It is called the Necrosword, formed out of living abyss and empowered by the Cosmic Emeralds. It is an emulation of the FIRST symbiote: The All-Black! A weapon capable of slaying GODS!" Salem proclaimed, pointing her new symbiote sword at the dark lord.
"Impressive trick, child, but you didn't learn this on your own. No…I can sense it from the lifeform bonded to you…You have become nothing but a PUPPET for a primordial deity! A fate worse than what my brother and I cursed you with." The God of Darkness mocks her, visibly angering her.
Salem scowls, "I am NO ONE'S puppet! I am the Queen that has surpassed even the GODS!"
The seven Cosmic Emeralds encircle Salem as she drains them of their negative energy, causing them to become inert and lose their luster as they fall to the ground. Suddenly, a massive pillar of dark energy explodes from Salem. The energy can be seen from space. And the energy is so strong that it violently shakes not just Symbiote World, but Earth, Mobius, and Remnant. Each world's population feel the massive tremors and hold onto their dear lives, while the Symbiotes stare at the sky and feel the transformation of their queen.
From within the energy pillar, Salem's form undergoes a drastic change. Her outfit changes to a revealing black and red skin tight body suit with black outer sleeves and red inner sleeves with jagged points. She gains a wears a black open leg cape that is jagged with a few red jagged points at the bottom, and red and black high heels. Her red spider emblem becomes a white dragon emblem around her stomach, exposing the top of her breasts. Her hair becomes spiky, flowing and smooth and grows down to her waist. Her forehead gains a red circlet, and her eyes gain red tribal markings on both sides of her face as they open and glow with menacing energy.
As the energy pillar diminishes, both Ozpin and the Dark God are in awe of Salem's dark transformation. "Behold this ultimate vessel. The abyss made flesh! Revere me. Praise me. This noble and beautiful…immortal and most powerful Goddess of the Symbiotes…Salem." The newly-transformed Dark Salem smiled ominously.
"Do not delude yourself in thinking you have become a GOD!" retorted the God of Darkness, transforming into a nightmarish, dragon-like form that snarls at Dark Salem. He unleashes a barrage of mystical attacks at Salem, who easily catches them all into her hand, absorbing them into a purple sphere of energy that leaves the god in shock.
Salem smiles at the sphere, "Doesn't this bring back memories." She squeezes the sphere within her hand, using the energy to slam the Dark God into the ground with a massive energy beam. Swiftly, the Dark God flies out of the beam and rushes at Dark Salem. They strike at each other with flurries of magical blast that shakes the symbiote city.
The Dark God manages to land a few blows on Salem, stunning her to be grabbed by his incredible power, "You cannot stop me with darkness that I command!"
"But YOU do not command the raw power of the COSMOS!" quips Salem, freeing herself from his grasp with a burst of cosmic energy. "CHAOS CONTROL!" She instantly freezes the Dark God in time, then warps around him and hits him with a flurry of vicious sword strikes from her Necrosword. Once time resumes, the Dark God found himself roaring in devastating pain.
Dark Salem smiles, flicking her hair before encasing the deity in a mystical energy sphere. She points her sword at him while saying, "I'm sending you straight to hell!" Her sword glows with energy, causing a massive glyph to appear underneath the trapped god. Her sword glows again, this time causing the sphere to explode impressively.
BGM End
The explosion was so powerful that it forced the God of Darkness to return to his humanoid form as he crashes into the ground, left barely conscious and in a near-death state. "Still alive? Stubborn dragon. That can be easily remedied." Dark Salem lifts up her hand and conjures a large ball of energy, intending to kill the God of Darkness with this next attack while she laughs maniacally.
"SALEM, DON'T!" shouted Ozpin, struggling and pleading with her to stop her own insanity.
"Don't let her do what? Refund her new clothes?" quipped a certain webslinger.
Hearing that familiar voice prompted Dark Salem to stop her attack and turn to the rooftop of the castle, where she finds Spider-Man and Shadow staring at her. "Her new duds are a slight improvement. Trying to catch someone's eye, 'cause you caught ours." Spidey jokingly greeted her.
Ozpin gasps in shock, "Spider-Man? Shadow?"
The incapitated God of Darkness weakly looks at Spider-Man, "It's…The Other…"
"It's not surprising you're here, Professor." said Shadow, looking at the imprisoned headmaster.
"I assuming Salem didn't bring you here to finish the divorce papers." quipped Spidey, then looks at Symbiote Thor, "And is that…Thor? Was thinking of calling him for backup, but it seems that Salem beat us to it." He then looks at the Symbiote Light God, "But who's the symbiote with the deer antlers? Kinda looks familiar."
"That is the God of Light of my world." Ozpin answered.
Spidey's eyes widen in shock, "Really? That explains why purple man is here. Thought the Relics called them again."
"I thought the Relics were destroyed." Ozpin remarked.
"And they chose my body as a repair shop, because I'm just that lucky." Spidey said sarcastically.
Just then, Dark Salem descends to her castle and confronts the new arrivals, "The Legendary Spider-Totem and the Ultimate Lifeform. Good work on making it this far. I have to give the both of you credit…"
"What is the meaning of this? Attacking the gods?" Shadow asked her.
"Do you still not understand?" Salem questioned him, "The future we are leading to is the most ideal one left for mankind. The Gods of Light and Dark once wiped out humanity with a single blow. I want to liberate you all from this lack of freedom and create a paradise that the old Gods could not."
"You call bonding with symbiotes FREEDOM?! You're such a hypocrite!" Spidey retorted angrily.
Shadow scoffs with a scowl, "I'm tired of listening to your nonsense! You're getting out of my sight NOW!" He flaunts his right arm.
Dark Salem chuckles ominously, "I see, how unfortunate…So you are just like those fools after all…"
BGM-Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 OST-Threat from Beyond
Suddenly, the floor beneath the heroic duo's feet seamlessly turns into a massive puddle of symbiote goo. It protrudes tendrils that latch onto Spidey and Shadow to slowly pull them into the puddle. "I-I'm being pulled in!" Spidey remarks, struggling to break free from the puddle.
"I still need you to become complete, Spider-Man. You and Shadow will plunge into the abyss and be reborn as my heir and protector respectively. And once I have claimed your Chaos Emeralds, then I will truly be unstoppable!" Dark Salem smiled deviously.
Despite their combined might, Spider-Man and Shadow cannot break free from the tendrils. As they are about to be pulled into the puddle, they let out one last scream before they drown into the abyss.
BGM End
"SPIDER-MAN! SHADOW…!" Ozpin shouted, as he couldn't believe with his own eyes that two of their worlds' greatest heroes fell into the abyss.
As Ozpin lowers his head in sadness and tears, Dark Salem lets out a creepy laugh, "Hehehe…Hahahahaha!" She gestures her arms to the sky while saying, "I did it…I'VE FINALLY WON!" She proclaimed before laughing manically.
BGM-Sonic Advance 3 OST-EX Demo 2
Unknown to everyone, seven strange lights glow from the depths of the puddle that swallowed Spidey and Shadow: A white light, a purple light, a yellow light, a turquoise light, a red light, a green light, and a blue light. Suddenly, those lights converge into a massive golden beam of energy that erupts from the puddle, surprising Salem, Ozpin, and even the Dark God.
"Huh?" Ozpin remarks in shock.
"NO!" Dark Salem reacts in complete surprise.
"This light…It rivals my brother's…The Light of Chaos?" The Dark God commented.
Beacon Academy, Remnant
While fighting the symbiote horde, Ruby and her remaining friends notice something weird and surprising happening to them, all at once. The symbiotes become paralyzed, all over the globe as the roots that have encased it retract halfway to reveal an enormous bright light emitting from Symbiote World.
"What just happened?! What is that bright light?!" asked Weiss, staring at the light in space.
While staring at the light, Ruby gasps with happiness as she smiles with renewed hope, "I recognize that light…"
Central City, Mobius
"Sonic!" shouted Tails, as his world is experiencing the same phenomenon that involves the symbiotes being paralyzed and a bright light erupting from Symbiote World.
Sonic smirks at the light, chuckling as he says, "It's about time they got serious!"
SHIELD Tricarrier, New York City
"WHO TURNED ON THE LIGHTS?!" shouted Devil Carnage, being blinded by the light emitting from Symbiote World.
"It's Spider-Man and Shadow! They're using the Chaos Emeralds! Weakening the hive-mind with their light!" Dr. Strange announced, quickly making his allies happy and extremely hopeful after things were looking bleak for them.
"SWEET CHRISTMAS!" Luke smiled.
"WOOHOO!" Yang hollered while bumping the air with a smile.
"Those boys just love being dramatic." smiled Rouge, causing Toxin to smirkingly scoff behind her mask.
"IMPOSSIBLE! HOW CAN A MERE SPIDER AND HEDGEHOG GENERATE THIS MUCH LIGHT?" Mega Venom commented in annoyance that his plan is falling apart.
BGM End
Symbiote Castle, Symbiote World
BGM-Shadow the Hedgehog OST-Super Shadow
Ozpin, Dark Salem, and the God of Darkness just watch as the pillar of light slowly disappears to reveal the transformed Spider and Hedgehog. In Spidey's Super Form, his costume changes from a red-and-blue to a gold-and-white that keeps the black accents. And in Shadow's Super Form, his black fur turned into a golden lemon-cream color and his eye color becomes completely ruby red.
"You thought we were stupid enough to run into a trap without a plan first? You're getting senile, grandma." Super Spider-Man mocks the immortal witch, powering up his amazingly large golden aura.
"BEHOLD, SALEM! THIS is the ultimate power!" Super Shadow mocks her next, powering up his ultimately massive golden aura.
Dark Salem growls angrily at the transformed heroes and snarls, "Don't assume such a transformation will allow you stand up to ME!" She fires a massive sphere of energy at the heroes, who work together to easily dissipates it, much to the dark witch's shock.
While Super Shadow smirks with silence, Super Spider-Man taunts her by saying, "Now, let's get this Salem witch trial started!"

KFX Here: Originally, this finale was gonna be 3-parts long until I was surprised by how long this chapter went on. This chapter was going to include the heroes' fight against Dark Salem, but I'll save that for the next chapter. So yeah, this finale is now 4-parts long. This chapter explored how each world is tackling the symbiote invasion, and the next chapter should focus on the Dark Salem fight. Look forward to that.
Guest 1 (Chapter 24): The Knull references are very subtle throughout the whole story. The biggest reference you should notice is the God of Darkness pointing out Salem being controlled by a "primordial deity".
Question of the Chapter: What are the perfect taunts for Spider-Man to say in his upcoming fight against Dark Salem?
Next Time: Showdown! The Light of Chaos vs. the Dark Cosmos!
