BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Wonder World
Spider-Man: Watch out! It's your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man! It's been 7 months since anything crazy happened around here. Animals have been reported missing all over town. Sounds like Eggman is back to his old tricks again. We can't have that now, can we? Sonic. Ruby. Tails. Hope you guys are ready for another adventure. Let's bust out the Tornado and track down Eggman.
BGM End
Issue 2: Lost and Found
The skies of Mobiant Earth
The animals of New Vale City have gone missing and all fingers are pointing at Dr. Eggman, who is said to have escaped to the skies. Not a problem. If you're going to chase a mad scientist in the air, you must bring your own air support. And that air support is the Tornado. Or more specifically the Tornado-1, the futuristic-looking biplane built by Tails that was used during the Dark Gaia incident.
Team Spidey, which consists of Spider-Man, Sonic, Tails, and Ruby are currently flying on the Tornado-1 in search for Eggman. Tails is behind the pilot seat driving the Tornado, sitting in front of Ruby who is wearing plane goggles to protect herself. Spidey and Sonic? Those two prefer standing on the wing, mostly because they're crazy and there's no other seat for them.
"THERE! I think I see—nope, that's a cloud!" Spider-Man joked, thinking he saw Eggman.
"Oh! Right THERE! That's—another cloud." Ruby pointed, also thinking she saw Eggman but she didn't.
"Ooh! That one LOOKS like a tubby mad scientist!" Sonic joked, spotting a cloud that might resemble Eggman, but it is not the real doctor himself. And this is all to the amusement of Tails who just smiles from his friends' antics.
"C'mon guys, we've got to get serious! I've got Eggman on radar!" Tails said, looking at his "Eggman Radar" and sees the mad doctor's symbol heading north.
"You've got Eggman-specific radar?" Sonic asked his fox buddy.
"After all we've been through?" Tails replied, referring to their many, many encounters with that evil genius and the constant times he keeps escaping.
"Touché."
Spidey's Spider-Sense then tells him something, something moving ahead of them. "My own Eggman radar is telling me he's right there!" He points ahead to the doc's Egg Mobile carrying an animal capsule.
"Let's go, Tails!" Sonic ordered.
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Opening
The Tornado-1 speeds up to chase Dr. Eggman along the clouds, with the mad doctor also accompanied by his robot lackeys, Orbot and Cubot. When they got close enough, Sonic says to his arch-nemesis, "Drop the critters, Eggman!" before the doctor ignores him by boosting ahead of the heroes. Once he gained enough distance between him and them, Eggman presses a button that releases the capsule.
"If you insist!" Eggman smiled, taunting his foes.
"How could he?!" Ruby remarked in horror that Eggman is so willingly to drop the animals out of the sky, showing no remorse for his own actions.
"Whoa, that's harsh!" Tails remarked, also horrified.
Using their quick thinking, Spidey webs up a curled-up Sonic, spins for a second before throwing him off the Tornado, reaching for the capsule's button but narrowly misses and would've fell to his doom if Tails didn't catch him on the Tornado.
"We'll have to swing back around for it!" Tails said.
"Predictable." Eggman said, knowing they would take this action. They come Orbot and Cubot uncaringly shoves themselves in front of their boss.
"Very." Orbot said.
"They must really love those things!" Cubot idiotically said.
Eggman shoves his annoying lackeys away and pulls out a laser gun. He aims it at the Tornado just as Spidey's danger senses tingles. "Watch out!" Peter shouted, but it was too late. Eggman fired his gun that hit the plane's wings and propeller.
"We're hit!" Sonic shouted as he and Spidey cling to the wing to save themselves while Ruby screams for her very life.
"UWAAAAAAAAAAH!" The young Huntress yelled.
"HOLD OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!" Tails shouted for his very life too.
As Tails does his best to regain control of the plane so they won't crash, Sonic was the first to notice something in the clouds that got him amazed. "Whoa! What's that in the clouds?" The hedgehog points to what appears to be a floating continent, spherically shaped but missing a few notable spots, and it's all hexagonal with different colored areas.
Tails gasps as he recognizes what this place is, "That must be the Lost Hex. COOL!"
"The Lost Hex?! We just learned about that in class!" Ruby said, recalling her boring history class with Dr. Oobleck earlier today. The little huntress was totally not expecting her new adventure would lead her to discover a lost continent she just learned about.
"The continent of illusions? I think I once heard Reed talked about it before. Never thought it was real." Spidey said, also remembering hearing about the Lost Hex one time before, with Reed Richards describing the Lost Hex as the "continent of illusions", whatever that means.
"Less LOOKING, more LANDING!" Sonic reminded everyone they are currently on a damaged plane in danger of crashing to this newly-discovered continent.
"Alright, I can land us, but it's gonna be bumpy!" Tails replied, drifting the Tornado into the Lost Hex and into a brand new zone that looks familiar but different at the same time.
BGM End
Windy Hill Zone
Windy Hill. A zone consisting of many planetoids full of idyllic, grassy setting level, with lush green trees and simple plant life. It was certainly bumpy, but Tails managed to land the damaged plane in this new environment with everyone safe and sound.
"Is everyone alright?" Sonic asks his friends as he jumps off the wing.
"I think so." Ruby replied she's fine as she takes off her goggles and hops down next to Sonic. The two speedsters are simply amazed to be one of the first to have discovered a new continent, a zone full of planetoids, big and small, just like the tubular one the four heroes are standing on.
"This place looks weird." Ruby observed.
"And familiar. Why does it remind me of Green Hill?" Sonic scratched his head, getting the sense of déjà vu about this zone.
While those two stand around looking at their new surroundings, Spidey and Tails are checking the damage done to the Tornado. "How bad is it?" Peter asked the fox mechanic.
"There's a hole through the wing and the propeller got damaged. Nothing I can't fix in a few hours." Tails replied, saying the damage isn't too bad.
"We need to find Eggman! And the capsule he dropped! Ooh, I hope the animals are okay." Ruby said, worried for the little critters.
"Those things are pretty sturdy. I'm sure they're fine." Sonic assured his fellow speedster before turning to Spidey, "So what's the plan, Spidey?"
"Free the animals, find Eggman, and kick his egg butt off this new continent while Tails here fix the Tornado." Spidey gave the plan to his allies.
"Is that alright with you, Tails? Hate leaving you here on your own." Sonic asked his little bro, not liking the idea of leaving him by himself in new territory.
"You know I can handle myself. Don't worry. I'll be done by the time you guys are back." Tails smiled, assuring his big bro he'll be fine alone.
Sonic smiles and responds to his fox friend with a nod before turning back to Spidey and Ruby, "Okay guys, let's go make history being one of the first explorers exploring a new floating continent."
"Ah yeah! What're we waiting for?" Ruby smiled, feeling her blood getting all excited for some exploration.
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Windy Hill (Zone 1)
The three titular representatives of their respective worlds begin their adventure in this Windy Hill Zone. They run or swing along the planetoids that offers giant windmills to climb and huge islands to bounce between. On a tubular planetoid, they come across Motobugs dirtying this zone with their presence.
"Badniks! Seems that Eggman made himself home here." Sonic joked, using his homing attacks to defeat a few of the Badniks.
"That explains where he's been all this while. He got lost finding a lost continent to make it his." Spidey joked that Eggman found the Lost Hex before they did and made it his new base. The webhead kicks a Motobug to the air before catching it with his webbing to spin and slam on a small crowd, freeing the animals trapped inside.
Ruby jumps off the leaping Choppers from the rivers, switching her scythe into a gun to destroy them, then immediately transforms it to a War Scythe to slice open three Motobugs, freeing the grateful animals inside. "He's gotta be around here somewhere. Let's keep searching!" She told her friends.
After bouncing off a couple spring planetoids, they land next to a large windmill with small animal capsules. "Animals! Let's free them!" Ruby recommended. With a simply bounce on the switch, the animals were freed, thanking the heroes for saving them. "Stay safe, little guys! We'll find the rest of your friends." Ruby kindly assured the little critters before they continued on their adventure freeing more animals, fighting more Badniks along the way like Orbinauts and Snale Blasters. The young huntress uses her Semblance to temporary fly through the air as a stream of petals. Meanwhile, Spidey and Sonic use some hardcore parkour to travel up or beside walls.
"Finally perfected your parkour, huh?" Spidey asked the hedgehog while wall climbing up a windmill.
"What do ya think I've been doing lately? I've become better at it than you are." Sonic quipped, using his speed to wall run while leaving blue afterimages of himself.
"Dude, I am the parkour master! None can surpass my parkour-spider skills!" Spidey quipped.
"I don't mind taking some parkour lessons." Ruby said as the gang bounce off clouds in the sky.
"Sure thing. We'll teach you." Sonic smiled while running on another tubular planetoid.
"Oh, that is nice." Ruby said sarcastically, jokingly thinking Sonic and Spidey aren't good teachers.
"Was that sarcasm?" Sonic asked.
"No, of course not." Ruby replied sarcastically with a smirk and chuckle.
Not long after, the gang arrive at another tubular planetoid, this time one with wall rivers flowing down while Chopper Badniks leap from them. It is on this planetoid they reunite with a familiar cyan alien in a capsule. "Guys, look! I found a Wisp! Seems they're also living on this continent!" Spidey called out to his friends that he found a Wisp, more specifically the Cyan variant.
Sonic frees the Cyan Wisp from its capsule and talks to it, "Hey guys. Remember us? Saved your planet from Eggman at his amusement park? Thinking of helping us out like old times?" He asked the little alien if it remembers the heroes who saved the Wisps from Eggman and Doc Ock months ago. The little alien definitely remembers the heroes who saved his race and is more than happy to help them out on this new adventure. The Cyan Wisp enters Sonic's body, transforming him into the destructive Cyan Laser that zooms through the planetoid as it bounces off the prisms in the area.
"Can't let him get ahead of us. C'mon, big bro!" Ruby said to Peter as they run to catch up with the laser-powered Sonic. By the time the rose and the spider caught up with the hedgehog, he has already turned back to normal and freed the big animal capsule Eggman dropped earlier.
BGM End
"You're too slow!" Sonic taunted his slow friends with a smirking fingerwag.
"Is that why you took the speedy laser alien?" Spidey quipped, annoying Sonic and getting Ruby to chuckle.
"We freed one of the capsules. Think we should contact the others?" Ruby asked if they should inform their friends from the world below of current events involving them.
"Give it a second. I'm sure Amy will call any second now." Sonic believed, getting the feeling Amy will call them before they call her.
Back at Central Park, New Vale City
A few of the animals are hanging around with the gang back on Mobiant Earth. The rest of Team RWBY, most of Team JNPR, Mary Jane, and Amy are comforting the little critters to assure them everything will be alright. Meanwhile, Knuckles and Jaune are having a bit of trouble keep their group of animals still, mostly Knuckles.
"Ha-ha. Take it easy there." Knuckles said, but the animals keep messing with him, bouncing on his head, thinking he's funny.
"I think they like you, Knuckles." Yang teased her fellow brawler.
"Stay still, please. We're on it, okay." Knuckles told the playing animals.
Amy pets one the pig animals to keep it from being scared, "Oh, stay calm, little guy. Our friends will get your buddies back." She takes out a Miles Electric to call up Sonic, who immediately answers it along with Spidey and Ruby with him.
'See? Tol'ja she was going to call.' Sonic told Peter and Ruby next to him.
"Sonic! Did you guys get those animals back from Eggman?" Amy asked him.
'Uh, just the one container he tossed off his Egg Mobile.' Sonic answered, surprising his friends they only found one so far.
'And a few smaller ones.' Ruby added.
"What?" Weiss remarked in shock.
"Wait a minute, just the ONE and some small ones? Pfft, weak! I would have gotten them all back by now!" Knuckles arrogantly believed.
"No you wouldn't!" Yang pushed the echidna away to be carried on his back by several animals as Team JNPR and MJ simply watch him being taken away while he yells several unclear phrases for help.
"Save the rest of them!" Amy urged them. "Oh, I hate to think what Eggman's doing to those poor things." She said, can't bearing the thought of the animals being enslaved by Eggman's cruelty.
Sonic nodded in understanding and gives her a thumbs-up of assurance, 'We're on it!'
"Where are you guys anyway?" Mary Jane asked the explorers.
'You wouldn't believe us, but we just found a new continent!' Spider-Man told her.
'We found the Lost Hex!' Ruby joyfully told her friends on Earth they found the illusionary continent, something that greatly surprised her team and Team JNPR.
"No way!" Nora remarked in surprise.
"You mean the future continent we learned from class today?" Pyrrha remarked, also surprised of their discovery.
"But that place is a myth lost in history for hundreds of years!" Weiss remarked, both shocked and surprised her friends found the lost continent.
'Not anymore, Ice Queen. The Lost Hex has just been found! We're gonna keep searching for Eggman. He's around here somewhere. We'll call back soon!' Sonic told them before turning off the call to continue their adventure on the illusionary continent.
Eggman's Base in the Lost Hex
Orbot and Cubot are taking out animals from dozens of capsules to be placed in a Badnik assembly line, where it then becomes a simple case of the metal arms placing the animals inside their new robot home, ready for deployment and conquest. Eggman, Zavok, and Anti-Venom are watching the animals being enslaved into Badniks, much to Eggman's delight.
"Transformation 101. Bunnies to Badniks. Boom! Instant army. It needs to be a big army if I'm taking over the world below." Eggman told his enslaved, and powerful minions.
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Eggman & the Deadly Six
"You are quite the mighty conqueror." Zavok said with complete sarcasm, something Eggman doesn't notice and couldn't care less as he chuckles.
"Yes. Yes, I am. I conquered you, didn't I?" Eggman points at the annoyed zeti. "And with your help, I'll not only rule the world, I'll finally destroy that blue nuisance, Sonic, and his annoying D-Avengers!"
"Who the heck are they?" Anti-Venom questioned who are the D-Avengers.
"A troublesome band of wannabe young heroes led by that accursed bug, Spider-Man. He's also grown to be quite a nuisance the same level as Sonic. Even that little huntress girl they're always hanging around has also been getting on my nerves. Ohoho. I cannot WAIT to finally get rid of them in one fell swoop!" Eggman laughed as he walks up to his badnik assembly line to check how things progress personally, leaving a pondering Anti-Venom and the Deadly Six by themselves.
"Eggman wants the little Avengers destroyed." Zavok took note of the doctor's hatred for the young Avengers.
"Yeah, well I feel like destroying something!" Zazz psychotically said.
"You're ALWAYS like that." Anti-Venom remarked.
"But that's what I like about Zazz, Anti-Venom. Always ready for a fight, even before he knows what he's fighting." Zavok replied.
Zazz chuckled crazily, "You bet! Bring it on, and I'll rip it up!" he says, madly laughing and doing jumping kicks as he exits for the door to fight the D-Avengers.
"Win or lose, I'll learn something about our enemies." Zavok pondered.
"Especially this 'Spider-Man'. Something about that name…irritates me." Anti-Venom snarled, possessing a distinct unknown high levels of hatred for the wall-crawler he never met before in his life.
BGM End
Back with Team Spidey at Windy Hill…
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Windy Hill (Zone 2)
Spidey, Sonic, Ruby's travels through Windy Hill takes them to an area during a sunset. "Sundown already? We haven't been here that long." Spidey joked as the team casually walks through the area.
"This place is all kinds of weird." Sonic commented.
During their walk, Ruby suddenly stops to gasps, "I got it!" She said, getting an unknown idea that confuses the red and blue duo.
"Got what?" Sonic asked her.
"I can write my history report about the Lost Hex!" Ruby smiled after having a wondrous idea.
"History report?" Sonic questioned, wondering what that's all about.
"Ruby needed help what to write about for her history report, so she came to me and Tails for ideas." Spidey explained to his confused friend.
"This is so GREAT! Writing a report about an unknown continent will most definitely get me an A++ from Oobleck!" Ruby said cheerfully.
"It's a good thing you tagged along, huh kid?" Sonic smiled.
The excited huntress nodded her head happily, "Oh yeah! Peter! Can you help take pictures while me and Sonic jot down notes? I want this to make this the best report ever!"
"Sure thing, Rubes. We can save the world while completing your report." Peter smiled, more than glad to help out his little sis.
With a camera and some note pads in hands, the group split off for a bit to research Windy Hill. Ruby hops onto a windmill while writing down notes. Sonic destroys a few more Badniks while casually jotting down more notes as he falls from the air. With Spidey, he swings around acting as Ruby's photographer, taking amazing pictures of the environment from many incredible angles. While taking a few snaps, his Spider-Senses warns him of a few dark creatures he hasn't seen in a while.
"This is unexpected." Spidey jumps away from a claw strike from a Beowolf Grimm, who stands with some other Grimm like Beringels. Sonic and Ruby quickly reunite with Peter once they spotted the Grimm in the area.
"Wasn't expecting Grimm to be here. Been a while since I actually fought one." Ruby said, slicing them up with her scythe.
"There hasn't been that many since the Convergence wiped two-thirds of them out. Now stay still little puppies!" Spidey joked, kicking a Beowolf out of existence. As the webhead fights more Grimm, he then notices another Wisp capsule containing an "orb-shaped indigo" variant he's never seen before. "Never seen you before. Let's set you free, little guy." With a single web shot, the Indigo Wisp is free from its capsule. As thanks for freeing him, the alien allows Spider-Man to absorb his powers.
BGM End
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-"Color Power - Indigo Asteroid"
"Oh yeah! Time to unleash the cosmos!" Spider-Man said. His red and blue costume changes to a neon indigo variant. A matching planetary ring made of indigo-colored webbing surrounds Peter. "So what can you do?" He wondered. His Spider-Sense tells him of a Beowolf lunging at him from behind. With a single shot from his enhanced webbing, the Grimm instantly converts into chunks of matter that circles around his new gravitational pull, allowing Peter to hover for a bit. "Woohoo! Look at me, guys! I have ORBIT!" Spidey jokes around, using his new "Indigo Asteroid Webbing" to pull in more Grimm into his Asteroid Web Ring. And once he converted enough, the gravity-powered wallcrawler unleashes a gravity explosion from his webbing, which either kills the remaining Grimm or disable gravity for them, allowing Sonic and Ruby to finish them off before his new powers disappears.
BGM End
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Windy Hill (Zone 2)
"Not a bad power, Spidey. Wonder what all-new Wisp we'll find here." Sonic smiled.
"Just another thing to report for my report." Ruby chuckles from her little joke while noting the Indigo Wisp and the Grimm of the Lost Hex.
Then out of nowhere, from somewhere in this zone, Zazz's voice can be heard taunting the surprised heroes, "Ooh! They're getting' pretty close. I'm gonna have to bring my "A" game if I wanna mop the floor with their little butts!"
"Who's speaking?" Sonic asked.
"It sounds familiar." Spidey said, vaguely recalling he's heard that voice before.
The gang quickly traverse through the zone to find the source of the voice, fighting more Badniks and Grimm that were in the way. The farther they go, the darker this area gets until it hits night time, where they see a yellow mech with a scary face that resembles the moon floating in the sky.
"Is that the moon?" Ruby questioned, pointing at it.
"Gahahah! I never thought you'd make it this far in one piece. We may get to tangle after all!" Zazz taunted.
"Who are you?!" Ruby asked the mystery voice, demanding some answers.
BGM End
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-The Deadly Six Theme
The Moon Mech finally decided to appear above the heroes to reveal the crazy zeti, Zazz is behind it. "Hello there." Zazz crazily grinned, giving his new foes a monstrous roar.
"I remember you. You were one of those colorful goons that knocked me out of the ship with the animals!" Spider-Man remarked, recognizing Zazz from last night's trade.
"Glad you remember, because now it's time for another BEATDOWN, little bug!" Zazz cackled. The insane zeti uses his moon mech to shoot stars as his starting attacks. The heroes were more than quick enough to dodge all his star shots. "You guys are pretty fast, but not fast enough!" He rams his mech to tackle the three while in the middle of his star barrage, but to his surprise, Spider-Man uses his own strength to slow down the mech.
"I'm definitely STRONG enough!" Spidey kicks the mech back into the air.
"Get off the moon, crazy pinky!" Sonic taunts, using homing attacks in conjunction with Ruby's bullets to damage the moon mech, angering the zeti.
"You wouldn't like me when I'm angry!" Zazz snarled. He eyes at Ruby's Crescent Rose and gets an idea. He uses his magnetic ability to push her weapon off her hands with ease, leaving the surprised huntress weaponless.
"Hey!" How did he do that?!" Ruby remarked.
Zazz manipulates Crescent Rose to its War Scythe mode to almost slice off Ruby and Sonic's head, but they narrowly dodged it with a sweat for the scythe to be grabbed by Zazz. "Oooh! Who's ready for a shave?!" Zazz taunted.
"That's mine! Give it back!" Ruby scowled at the zeti.
"Make me?!" Zazz smirked.
"Okay." Spidey surprises the zeti with a snap from his camera, taking a picture of him before kicking Zazz off his moon mech for Sonic to attack him.
"Stinkin' puny heroes!" Zazz roared. With Crescent Rose in his hand, he attacks the three heroes, managing to get a few strikes on them thanks to his frantic and fast abilities. "You're USELESS without your toy!" He taunted Ruby after almost slicing up her body.
Ruby flips onto the floor before using her Semblance to circle around Zazz and roundhouse kicks him in the back of his head, "Then it's a good thing I've been training NOT to use it!" She said, as she has been doing unarmed hand-to-hand combat sessions with her friends and Captain America over the past few months.
It would take a lot more than a kick to defeat Zazz, like a web shot to blind his eyes to allow Spidey to web yank the scythe back to Ruby's hands, "There ya go, kid!" Ruby gets in one swing on Zazz, sending him to Sonic to slide-kick him, tripping him up to see Spidey about to slam his Moon Mech right on top of him. "Here's your toy back!" The wall-crawler joked, defeating Zazz with his own mech.
BGM End
The angry loud zeti bust out from the pieces of his mech and proclaims, "You were lucky this time! I'll be back! Just you wait!" before he leaves the area to fight another day, just as the heroes witness a beautiful and quick sunrise in the background.
"What was that guy's problem? Is he one of the locals?" Sonic asked, wondering who Zazz is and where he came from.
"I remember Professor Oobleck said something about 'Demons' that live on the Lost Hex. He called them Zeti." Ruby recalled.
"Whatever they are, they seem to be working for Eggman." Spidey believed, recalling his first encounter with the Zeti when they flew off with animal capsules for their new master. "C'mon. Let's investigate this further. Maybe when we find Eggman, we'll get some answers." Pete recommended. With the other two agreeing, the gang set off again to find Eggman and the Zeti and put a stop their plans.

KFX Here: In this story, I'll be taking a lot of elements from the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World while I'll probably just add the 3ds exclusive Wisps into the mix, so expect to see the Gray Wisp, Ivory Wisp, and the Burst Wisp show up.
And in case some of you forgotten, this story takes place 7 months after the alien invasion from Exo War (and 1 month after the epilogue of Exo War), so there was a time-skip between stories. It's the month of April right now during the events of this story.
Great Saiyaman54: I don't really have a favorite Spider-Man voice actor. I like most of them. If I were to choose a top 3 then: Christopher Daniel Barnes, Josh Keaton, and Yuri Lowenthal. Honorable mentions would be: James Arnold Taylor and Drake Bell.
Question of the Chapter: If you played Sonic Lost World (either Wii U or 3ds), what are your opinions on the game?
