BGM-Sonic Adventure 2 OST-It Doesn't Matter (Instrumental)

Sonic: I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog! To prevent Apocalypse from taking over the rest of the world, me and the gang destroyed The Core and the Infinite Factory to deplete the strength of his army, but his forces still have control of New Vale City. We're headed over there right now to drive that maniac away and save the city, and hopefully find a way to save Team RWBY.

The Ruins of the X-Mansion

BGM-X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse OST-X-Mansion

Several of Apocalypse's ships fly over the darken skies of New Vale City handling anyone that would dare infiltrate or escape the eternal one's new domain now that he has taken over the city. Wolverine peeps out from a wall sniffing the area for anyone spying them from afar but found nothing, meaning they are safe. He walks back inside the ruins of the mansion where the rest of the united heroes are taking camp after sneaking into the city.

"No sign of Apocalypse's goon knocking on our ruined door. We're safe for now." Wolverine told his allies.

Knuckles casually kicks a rock while walking around the destroyed mansion, "We were pretty lucky that we sneaked into the mansion. Or what's left of it."

"Yes. Apocalypse was quite thorough in its destruction." Xavier remarked.

"For Apocalypse, this is all a test of who's fit to survive in his new mutant world. If we don't do something, a lot of people are going to die." Cyclops stated.

"If we want Apocalypse out of New Vale City, we'll have to battle him in his tower. But we first have to get into his tower, which according to Nicole, is impossible." Sally informs the team.

"Why's that?" Iceman asked.

"It's defense systems are WAY too good. If we fly into the city, we'd be shot down in seconds." Sally explained.

"I have an idea. How 'bout we use Chaos Control?" Sonic suggested.

"Chaos Control?" Sally remarks with a surprise tone.

"I'm not a master at it like Shadow, but I should be good enough to get us all inside." Sonic said, planning to teleport the group into Apocalypse's tower using a Chaos Emerald.

"But Apocalypse has six Chaos Emeralds and we don't know where the last one is." Tails reminded him.

"How 'bout I locate the last one using Mystic Melody? Hopefully it's nearby." Amy recommends. The pink hedgehog mystically summons an energy flute into her hand and plays a melody on it, which should connect to the positive mystical forces of the world to locate the last Chaos Emerald.

"Anything, Amy?" Sally asks as she finished playing.

"I sense the last emerald moving within Manhattan, in possession of a hero of pure heart." Amy said cryptically while in a trance-like state.

"Since when could she do that?" Shadowcat asks Sonic while confused of her magical technique.

"Long story involving fish people. I'll tell ya later." Sonic casually quipped.

Xavier speaks to the united heroes, "Amy, you will be assigned to the team to locate the remaining Chaos Emerald. We CANNOT allow Apocalypse to get his hands on it. It is our only way to infiltrate his tower. Another team will be assigned to disable the defense platforms Apocalypse has placed along the coast. A group of Sentinels are being sent to pick up New Vale refugees but those platforms will destroy anything that flies by."

"What's to prevent the Sentinels from attacking us while we're on the platforms?" Storm asks the professor, as the X-Men are very much aware that Sentinels are designed to kill mutants such as them.

"Bolivar Trask himself has put in overrides and blocked their mutant killing programming. They should completely ignore mutants. I've also requested the aid of SHIELD. They will provide us some assistance." Xavier told everyone.

"Trask and Fury are on this, huh? It really is the end of the world." Wolverine joked.

"We should hurry and find that last emerald. Whoever has it will be in REAL trouble if one of Apocalypse's Horsemen finds them first." Sonic remarks, worried for the poor hero who might get attacked by a Horseman of Apocalypse.

Meanwhile in Manhattan…

BGM-Spider-Man: Web of Shadows OST-Protect the Innocent

A small crowd of screaming civilians are running for their lives away from the Infinite Soliders attacking the area. Luckily, the people are protected by the young war hero, Flash Thompson as the military solider kills as many clones as he could with his automatic assault rifle. "Run! Get to the safe zone! I'll hold them off!" Flash shouts at the civilians to escape as he plays hero. One of the Infinite Soliders fires a blast at Thompson, as he barely rolls out of range and finds cover behind a destroyed car. "I come back home from the military to enjoy a little vacation, and this is what I have to do deal with. New Vale hasn't changed." He jokes, popping out of his cover to kill more soliders.

"Glad you're back home, Flash!"

Suddenly, Flash gains amazing assistance from the superhero and his number one idol, Spider-Man, as the webhead swings into battle laying the smackdown on Apocalypse's men with his brutal punches and spectacular web shots. "We could use a war hero like you on the streets. The city's gone nuts." Spidey said to his friend.

"You could say that again, Spidey. Apocalypse means to start a war." Flash shoots down more goons to help out his favorite hero.

"That's not gonna happen. You help people to safety. I'll hold them off." Spidey orders the military solider.

Flash nods to the plan, "Sure thing." before running away to help people to safety while Spidey fights off more Infinite Soliders. While Flash races through the streets, he suddenly stopped on his tracks when his eyes caught a beautiful glimpse of the Horseman Killer Frost, which is really the mind-controlled Weiss, minding her own business while leaping over rooftops. 'Who was that? She looked beautiful. Focus, Thompson. Not the time to be lovestruck. Spidey gave you a mission, and as solider of the U.S. Army, I have to obey orders. Besides, I already have a date.' Thompson shakes his head to clear his thoughts and focus on the task at hand: protecting the civilians of New Vale City.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man continues his brave assault clearing the streets of Apocalypse's goons by himself and doing a considerable job holding his own against the small army, 'What a perfect day for most of the Avengers to be off-world. We could use a Hulk or Thor. I'd even take Hawkeye. Where're the X-Men? Apocalypse is their baddie, but no one hasn't heard from them since the X-Mansion blew to pieces. I'm sure they're okay and planning something to defeat Apocalypse. I should focus protecting the streets and making sure people are safe.'

Spider-Man finds himself fighting outside Avengers Mansion as he ruthlessly swings his large web hammer right on the remaining strikers in his path. He takes a second to catch his breath until he notices six Sentinels landing near his position to help save innocent civilians. "Sentinels. Look like some of them were lucky enough to make it into the city. So glad they're here to help and not kill the good mutants, or me. I'm not even a mutant." He joked.

BGM End

Disturbingly, his trusty spider-sense tingles to incredible danger headed his way. 'Whoa. Spider-Sense banging like a drum. What is it?' Spidey looks to the dark sky and sees something, or someone, about to crash onto the Sentinels like a flaming meteorite. 'What is THAT? My sensors say that's a…mutant?' He questioned with a shock expression on his mask.

The mysterious flaming individual smashes down on a Sentinel, causing it to topple as they leap to destroy the others easily with flaming punches while their body is surrounded by flames, making it hard for Spider-Man to figure out who is annihilating the Sentinels. "SYSTEMS CRITCAL…UNABLE TO FUNCTION…" A Sentinel says while shutting down from receiving critical damage. All six Sentinels fall down and explode at the same time, while the mystery attacker lands stoically on their knees in front of the explosion. Their flames diminish, revealing herself as a deadly blond-haired woman dressed in cybernetic armor.

'She just annihilated six Sentinels. Quite a debut.' Spider-Man joked.

BGM-Spider-Man 3 (Game) OST-Black Tension

The mutant woman stands confronting the webhead with a death stare from her pure red eyes. "Okay, whoever you are, you caught my attention. I'm guessing you're not one of the good guys. Wanna save yourself the embarrassment of getting beat up by the city's favorite webhead and surrender?" Spidey jokes with his mysterious adversary.

"You don't recognize me, honey?" She speaks to Peter as if she knows him very well, which utterly disturbs and leaves him a little shock as he tries to figure out who she is.

"What? That voice…It almost sounded like…Yang? Yang, is that you? How did you become a mutant?" Spidey remarks, horrified to learn his new enemy is his own girlfriend.

"Haven't you heard the news? I go by the name, Sunbreaker, a Horseman of Apocalypse." Yang responded.

Spidey sighs while shaking his head in disappointment, casually remarking, "Yup. Figured Apocalypse had something to do with this. You're looking beautiful by the way. Very hot, figuratively and literally. That new outfit is sexy. And very, very scary. So, what does my mind-controlled mutant Huntress girlfriend want from me?"

"Give me the Chaos Emerald. Weiss told me you have one." Yang points at him menacingly.

"Weiss? Is she a Horseman too? What's going on? Why do you want the Chaos Emerald?" Spidey asked.

"My master Apocalypse seeks to unlock the seven Lights of Chaos to gain the great power needed to conquer this world. You possess the last emerald. You are standing in the way of my master's ascension." Yang said.

"It's a habit." Peter quipped.

Yang offers him his hand as she sincerely says to him, "Come with me, Peter. Join us. You are one of the strongest people I know, and only the strong could live in his new world. It doesn't have to be this way. We could live happily ever after. The two of us. Please. Do it for me."

Spider-Man ponders her words for a moment, staring at the ground before looking back at his corrupted girlfriend with his answer. "Heh. We really are meant for each other. Our jokes have never been funny." He jokingly declines her offer, causing Yang to sternly put down her hand. "You have to snap out of it. Apocalypse has twisted your mind to make you think what HE wants. He's going to destroy the world, Yang. The world you promised to protect as a Huntress! I know what you're going through. I've been there, remember? When the symbiote almost possessed me during the symbiote invasion. Let me help you like you helped me back then, before you do something you're gonna regret!" He pleads with her.

"I MADE the regret of ever falling for a weakling like you." Yang retorts, which left Peter's feelings a little hurt. "If you won't give me the Chaos Emerald, then we're through. But not before I break every single bone in your body." She gets into her fighting stance, glaring at Spider-Man as she slowly powers up her energy.

BGM End

BGM-Spider-Man: Web of Shadows OST-Symbiote Boss

"Like you could ever beat me. You hit like a girl." Spidey jokes, striking a furious nerve at the Horseman of War.

Sunbreaker dashes furiously at the webhead from a bursting recoil. Despite her frightening new speed, Spider-Man was able to dodge her at the last second and throw her through the hard walls of a building with his webbing. "Fight Apocalypse's control! I know you can do it!" Spidey pleads with her again, but it doesn't work. A burst of flames erupts from the hole as Yang blitzes at Spidey and delivers a brutal punch that sends the poor man flying through the windows and walls of several buildings before he finally crashes down on another street. "She's not taking the breakup very well. How strong did Apocalypse make her?" He wondered, until he senses a large 30-ton gas truck thrown at his direction, much to his shock. "Oh, lord." He mumbled.

Spider-Man quickly jumps away from the truck as it exploded on the ground. As he lands, he sees a figure with deadly red eyes glaring at him from the fire. It's Yang walking of the flames unscathed, flickering with burning fire thanks to her augmented Semblance. 'Just remembering the pain is allowing her to use her Semblance whenever she wants. Terrific. Now she's one of those anime characters with the spiky golden hair that yells a lot.' He noted sarcastically. Yang unleashes a large fire blast from her cybernetic hand that forces Peter to swing to the side to avoid. Yang rushes to punch him with fierce flaming punches that craters anything it touches. Peter is punched to a fire hydrant, giving him an idea of attack as he sees her coming with another punch. "You need to cool off." Peter jumps from her attack so she could accidently punch open the fire hydrant and douse her with pressurized water, simmering her flames as she gets kicked away and webbed from Spidey's thick Impact Webbing.

"Don't MAKE me get serious." Spidey said.

Yang quickly burns the webbing away and dashes at Spidey, "Don't act like we've never fought before."

"During training and game night. You have one win over me." Spidey quips while doing his best to deflect her ferocious attacks.

"Another to add to your numerous failures." Yang coldly remarks as she fiercely kicks him to the ground as he wallows in pain. "If you weren't so weak, you might've saved me. Or this city. You keep letting so many people down. Just like how you let your Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacy to die." She mocks him coldly of his failures with no remorse from her voice.

Spidey instantly recovers from his wound, enraged from her taunts as he instantly activates his Hyper-Sense Semblance. With his enhanced speed that makes him completely untouchable, Spidey ruthlessly kicks Yang in the chest so hard that she is sent crashing onto a car at the other side of the street. "I know that's not you talking, but that hurt." He pants, glaring at her coldly. "You're starting to sound like your mother. The same mother who abandoned you as a child. Are you going to do the same thing and abandon this world for Apocalypse?" He asks her ruthlessly.

"Don't compare me to her." Yang snarls viciously, as she unleashes a violent barrage of fireballs from her cybernetic arms. Spidey dodges most of them so he could find an opening to electrocute her with his electric webbing. It worked for a moment until Yang yanks on the webbing and hurls the webhead to a jaw-breaking uppercut, knocking him to the sky. Spidey quickly recovers long enough to fire two sonic disruptor devices on the ground next to her, activating them to eject a powerful sound frequency that deafens Yang's ears, causing her to scream out in pain. This gave Spidey the opening to zip down on her with a strong web-strike, fiercely attacking her with a powerful Crawler Assault to deplete her Aura to the point it gets shattered by his two web hammers that spin in midair as they slam her to a crater.

BGM End

Spider-Man pants exhaustedly from his heartbreaking fight with his mind-controlled girlfriend as he stands over her unconscious body and checks if he didn't hurt her too badly. "Are we DONE, Yang?" Spidey asks but she doesn't respond, much to his relief and torture. "It wasn't supposed to be like this. I wanted to…tell you earlier…how I really feel. But I missed the chance. I'll find a way to fix this. I promise-."

But suddenly, as his spider-sense surprisingly tingles to his confusion, Yang immediately wakes up. And before Peter could react, she breaks his left arm with a ferocious punch. Much to his utter shock, Peter could say nothing but grunt from the sheer pain he's feeling on his broken arm. He falls on his knees as he desperately tries to calm himself down, but it was all in vain. The wounded hero lets out a loud scream of agony of having his arm broken, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

"You were always so soft." Yang coldly states, after faking her defeat to let his guard down.

As Yang holds out her flaming fist, ready to kill Spider-Man while he's wounded, she stares at his pained eyes and listens to his quiet words, "Don't…Yang…"

Yang's fist shakes as she's hesitant to go through with the attack. She suddenly gains a headache that she clenches onto as her pure red eyes turn back to their normal lilac color. "Peter…what am I doing…?" She asks herself in her normal voice, as it seems she's slowly overcoming Apocalypse's control.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" A young mutant that goes by the name, Firestar suddenly flies into the scene and blasts Yang away with her flames while her guard was down, allowing Apocalypse to regain control over her mind.

"Firestar?" Spidey weakly questions her sudden presence.

"And her amazing friends." Firestar said, as she and the webhead look to see Sonic, Amy, Bunnie, Shadowcat, Iceman, Wolverine, and Raven arrive to save Spider-Man from Sunbreaker's wrath.

"Spidey! Oh man! Are you alright, dude?" Sonic asks his best buddy, horrified to see how beat up he looks.

"Just a few broken ribs and a broken arm. Why are you guys here?" Spidey asks him.

"Amy sensed the Chaos Emerald you have, and Firestar gave us some directions." Sonic replied.

"It's like a little reunion. Me, Spidey, and Firestar. When was the last time we were together like this?" Iceman joked.

Raven ignores the conversation as she's completely surprised to see what has become of her daughter after Apocalypse turned her into his Horseman. "Yang? Is that really you?" Raven asks her corrupted daughter.

"Yes, mother. It's me. The daughter you abandoned as a child for your tribe, but that's okay. I found a new relationship with Apocalypse. He sees my worth as something that holds value and can't be ignored, unlike you." Yang said coldly to her own mother, who was horrified and internally hurt by the belief that she led her own daughter to get consumed by the darkness of Apocalypse.

"Don't listen to her, Raven! She's been brainwashed by Apocalypse. The girl we're looking at right now is NOT your daughter!" Wolverine told her to not blame herself for what happened to Yang.

"Final warning, Yang! Stand down and back off! Look what you did to Spidey! How could you do that to him?!" Sonic sternly asks why she almost killed her boyfriend.

Yang has another painful headache as she's fighting to break free from Apocalypse's control, "I didn't mean…I…" Having a hard time controlling her own thoughts, Yang flees the scene and returns to Apocalypse's Tower.

"Yang, WAIT!" Amy shouts, wanting to chase her, but Wolverine maturely says otherwise.

"Let her go. Apocalypse is starting to lose control over her, meaning there's still a chance to save her and the rest of the girls." Wolverine claims.

"You mean…all of Team RWBY…are his new Horsemen…?" Spidey weakly asks while struggling to stand with his broken arm.

"Yeah. But you heard Wolverine. They're finally fighting back against his control. If we're going to save them, we'll need your Chaos Emerald to infiltrate his tower." Sonic said to his friend somberly.

"Good idea…Here." Spidey takes out the ring box from his costume that contains the final Chaos Emerald, and a wedding ring that got Sonic's curiosity.

"Why do you have a wedding ring…? Oh…Oh, Spidey, I'm so sorry." Sonic frowns sadly after realizing Peter was planning to propose to Yang, but that has become impossible thanks to Apocalypse's interference.

"If only we were here sooner." A sadden Shadowcat comforts her ex-boyfriend with a hug.

"That's alright. I know you guys will save her. Save all of them. Promise me you'll make Apocalypse pay for all of this." Spider-Man requested.

Sonic nods with a serious expression and shares a bro-fist with his spider-bro, "You got it. Apocalypse has gotten on my last nerve."

"You guys are headed for his tower, right? Good luck. I'll stay on the streets to make sure no one else gets hurt." Spidey said to the heroes of this mission.

"You sure with that broken arm?" Bunnie asks if he could still fight with his injuries.

"I'm no Wolverine, but I heal pretty quick. Go. I can handle myself." Spidey jokes, webbing himself a cast for his injured arm.

"I'll stay with him to lend support. We'll protect the city. You guys go kick Apocalypse's ass." Firestar said, planning to stay with Spider-Man to protect the city.

"We're on it!" Sonic grins with a thumbs-up.

"Take care of yourself, kid. Don't do anything reckless." Wolverine advises Peter to take it easy as he makes his leave with the others.

"Were you seriously planning to marry my daughter?" Raven asks the nervous webslinger.

"If I was, would we get your blessing?" Peter jokingly asks her, as he only receives a stern glare from the tribal Huntress. "Is that a yes? A no?" He nervously quipped. Raven ignores him as she leaves to catch up with Sonic's group to infiltrate Apocalypse's tower. But unaware to Spider-Man, he didn't see the small smile that was forming on Raven's face as she left the premise.

BGM-Sonic Heroes OST-System Screen: Select

KFX Here: No, guys. Peter and Yang didn't break up despite what Yang said before the fight. Remember, she's under mind-control by an evil mutant. Of course what she says isn't genuine.

Next time: The path to power!

Trivia of the Chapter: The idea of adding ISO-8 as a major plot point in this series came from the various mobile games like Marvel Future Fight and Marvel Avengers Alliance.
