BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Wonder World

Sonic: I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog! We crash-landed on this weird world called the Lost Hex while chasing Eggman. What is this place? Guess it doesn't matter. Eggman's here and that's all that matters. On the way, we ran into one of the zeti called Zazz. He's a bit crazy, which is why it was insane to fight us! Hehe! Now we need to find Eggman and figure out what these Zeti are, oh, and help Ruby with her history report.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Careening Cavern

"What's the hold up, petals? Have your legs withered out inside this cave?" Sonic teased Ruby. Right now, those two and Spider-Man found themselves exploring within a tubular gem mine inside ancient ruins on their quest to find Eggman and save the animals. Sonic is exploring ahead while the other two are taking it slow for more research to help Ruby's history report about the Lost Hex.

"I'm researching for my history report due in a few days, which YOU'RE supposed to help me with, remember noodle-limbs?" Ruby quipped, jotting down notes about this cave system on her notepad.

"'Noodle-limbs'? I'm lean, kid. Aerodynamic!" Sonic quipped while easily taking out the Badniks and Grimm up ahead with a chained-homing attack. "Sides, I AM helping. Scouting ahead taking out Batbrain Badniks and Grimm until I find something cool while you and Pete do the more slow stuff." He grinned. And as he runs, the hedgehog unexpectedly slows down from the weird, disgusting green slime on the floor.

"Oh yeah. That looks cool." Ruby quipped, chuckling.

"You need to google the definition of what 'cool' really means. I'm sure you'll find my name at the top of the result page." Sonic smirked as he continues exploring while being more careful of the green slime.

"Using Google WOULD make this report a whole lot easier, then we wouldn't have to deal with rolling boulders." Spidey quipped while dodging a few boulders rolling down the tunnel.

"No way. If you want to make research exciting and less boring, surviving numerous death traps in uncharted territory is the way to go." Sonic quipped, hopping over another boulder.

"You never strike me as one to do research." Spidey quipped as he takes pictures of these caverns and the blocks of crystals beside him.

"If it involves how to make the best chili dogs in the world." Sonic keeps on going with the quips and jokes during this cave exploration.

"So why is the Lost Hex referred to as the 'illusionary continent'?" Ruby asked a question that'll be useful for her report.

"Because this places makes no sense and sounds like Mysterio's dream home." Spidey quipped.

"Less joking, more in-depth." Ruby replied, looking pretty serious.

"Who knows. We just got here. My advice when it comes to research: Keep searching every nook and cranny for resources until you've gotten more than enough on your plate." Peter advised his surrogate little sis, something she takes to heart.

"Like that small army over there?" Sonic stops on his tracks to point the gang at a small army of goons up ahead: Just a couple of Beowolves and Motobugs led by a Death Stalker.

"Yeah, basically. This also leads to another advice about research: Remove the unnecessary stuff that could potentially kill you." Spidey joked as the small unified grunts slowly approach them.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Color Power: Black Wisp

The heroes get ready to fight these monstrosities until Sonic spotted two Wisp Capsules up close: the bursting Red Wisp and the new bomb-looking Black Wisp. "Cool new lookin' Wisp!" Sonic grinned. Using that trademark speed he loves boasting about, Sonic napped the two Wisps before he was attacked by the Death Stalker. "Hey Rubes, catch!" He tosses the young huntress the Burst Wisp to absorb into her gun while Sonic absorbs the new Bomb Wisp. When he does, he becomes a Black Bomb as his body transforms into a black, orb-shaped bomb with a scary-looking face that somewhat resembles his own. The Black Bomb Sonic rolls over to the Death Stalker and its small army, getting their confused attention.

"He's a bomb?" Spidey questioned.

"I see where this is going." Ruby grinned, cocking her Burst Wisp-powered gun. Aiming her gun at the bomb-transformed hedgehog, she fires a fire shot at him, instantly causing him to explode and destroying the enemies blocking their way. Her face quickly goes into shock when she believes, "Oh my god, I think I killed Sonic! That was a bad idea!"

"Nope. I'm fine." Sonic revealed himself through the smoke, perfectly fine and so is the Black Wisp.

"You were the bomb, Sonic." Spidey punned, which made Ruby to roll her eyes from the obvious pun, but with a smile on her face.

"Aren't I always?" Sonic joked. "C'mon! I think I saw a capsule up ahead and an exit." He gestured. In little time after traveling through an underground pathway, the trio successfully located the capsule that Spidey gained the honor to unlock, freeing the animals, and the exit out of this cave.

BGM End

"The light at the end of the tunnel. Feels like I was just in an Indiana Jones movie." Spidey referenced as the gang walk out of the cave back to the green hills of Windy Hill. He then senses danger not far from their position. Seven high level threats, but he also gets the strange feeling he miscounted somehow. "Guys. Think I found him." Peter told his little gang.

"Eggman?" Ruby believed that's who he's referring to. And she was correct. The moment the three turned around, they found Eggman on his Egg Mobile, his new six demonic minions which included Zazz, the one they faced not long ago, as well as what appears to be a white new symbiote working under him.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Face-off with Zazz

"A symbiote working for Eggman? He kinda looks familiar." Spidey remarked, getting the feeling that new symbiote hanging with Eggman reminds him of another symbiote he used to fight a lot.

Sonic and his companions waste no time running up to confront Eggman and his new minions and surprise them they've found him. "Hey! We've been looking for you, Baldy McNosehair. Who're your friends?" Sonic asked his nemesis.

"Friends? These are nobody's friends. They are The Deadly Six and they are your worst enemies!" Eggman announced, gesturing his right arm to show his enemies of the threatening-looking Zeti of the Lost Hex.

"Aww. You got yourself your own Sinister Six in remembrance of your best friend, Wiggy McSquidy," Spidey joked, "And who's the Venom ripoff?" He asked about the Venom-looking white symbiote that looks pretty annoyed of the wallcrawler.

"This here's Anti-Venom. He is my most loyal agent of destruction that'll prove to be your downfall!" Eggman grinned.

"Is he part of your Deadly Six? Wouldn't it be called the 'Deadly Seven'?" Ruby asked.

"I think a better name would be 'Anti-Deadly Six'." Spidey quipped.

"So they're not deadly at all!" Sonic joked as all three of them laugh, annoying both the Deadly Six and Anti-Venom from their constant joking.

"Anti-Venom! Zazz! Show the blue pest and his friends how you two do things up here." Eggman ordered two of his most dangerous and crazy minions to fight the D-Avengers.

"With pleasure!" Zazz replied, sounding just as crazy as before.

"I would have done that anyway! I've been itchin' to fight you for a while!" Anti-Venom creepily grinned, with the two maniacs getting up close to the two non-scared jokesters and one on-guard Huntress.

"Haha!" Sonic chuckled, not scared of the powerful lunatics at all as he sniffs both of them with a cocky smile. "I think you're itching because you need a bath!" He taunted.

"You two smell like those dumb robots and Grimm." Spidey joked.

Those insults got both lunatics smelling themselves for a bit then looking at the fourth-wall with the heroes before turning back at them. "Are you two disrespecting us?" Zazz asked Sonic and Spidey while Anti-Venom growls harshly at them.

"Maybe." The jokesters simply replied with a quick sly look, which really got on their crazy nerves.

"We're gonna mess you up!" Zazz declared.

"No more mercy! Time to chew you into pieces!" Anti-Venom punched his symbiote fists together.

"I'd love to stay and watch them disassemble you, but I have business to attend to." Eggman then takes off in his Egg Mobile while Zavok orders the remainder of the Six to follow him, leaving their crazy brother Zazz and Anti-Venom to deal with the joking heroes.

Zazz chuckles, looking forward to a rematch with these punks, "We know the perfect SPOT to take care of you chumps."

"That's funny, because I know the perfect spot to KICK you." Sonic quipped.

"Let's have a little fun, shall we?" Spidey quipped, annoying the maniac duo to jump away to the arena to punish the heroes that soon follow them.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-The Deadly Six Theme (Orchestra Version)

Both the heroes and their psychotic opponents take their fight on a planetoid big enough for all of them to have a good time beating on each other. "This is the perfect spot you're gonna take care of us? Couldn't find another place to fit your brain?" Sonic joked, with his insults really getting on Zazz's nerves.

"Gettin' REALLY sick of you dissing me! I'm gonna skin you alive! Anti-Venom! Clobber up those two brats over there! I can deal with the spiny tough guy!" Zazz ordered his symbiote friend he'll deal with Sonic while he go take care of Spider-Man and Ruby.

The crazy symbiote chuckles with a sinister grin on his face, "Wouldn't have it any other way." He said before leaping to strike at the humans with a tendril swipe.

"We haven't properly met! I'm Spider-Man and this is my rosy sidekick, Ruby!" Spider-Man jokes, successfully as he and Ruby jump away from his tendrils.

"Would you please stop calling me a sidekick?" Ruby asked, kinda annoyed being called a 'sidekick'.

"But you're so adorable as a sidekick." Spidey quipped.

"I am?" Ruby remarked.

"I know who you are. Your name rings a bell in my empty head." Anti-Venom forms a handblade to swing horizontally at them.

"So you're one of those unique symbiotes with bells for brains," Spidey jokes, hopping over the handblade with Ruby, "Loud bells usually sing doom for most symbiotes. Perhaps I should try something more electrifying." Peter then shocks Anti-Venom with his Electric Webbing, but to his surprise, it didn't do anything as Anti-Venom seems immune to electricity. "That's a shocker." He punned before getting punched by his new symbiote rival.

Anti-Venom was soon ambushed by Ruby, who recoiled herself from a shot from her gun to increase the force and speed of her scythe swings combo, ripping some parts of his symbiote off him. "Was that supposed to hurt, kid? You need more bones in that thin body of yours to cut me down!" The crazy symbiote heals from his wounds like they were nothing as he forms a handblade to strike the little hero away to the ground. Not one to give up, Ruby equips ISO-Fire Dust into her gun, pelleting the symbiote with fire shots before ending the combo with a switch to a war scythe ignited with flames for the finishing strike, but even fire doesn't seem to effect this type of symbiote. "Not hot enough!" Anti-Venom taunted after blocking Ruby flame strike swing, then stretches his right arm to punch her outta sight.

"This is bad! Aren't symbiote usually weak to fire?!" Ruby asked Peter, who's back engaging Anti-Venom in combat.

"Not this one!" Peter noticed. He even tries out his Sonic-Disrupters that usually works on symbiotes, but Anti-Venom is completely unaffected and crushes the gadget into pieces. 'That didn't work either. Is he wearing ear plugs? What kind of symbiote are we dealing with here?' Peter wondered. And since his Spider-Sense is useless against symbiotes, he's forced to rely on natural instincts if he wants to stay alive against him. He hops over a few tendrils swipes while joking, "Are you Venom's long-lost ugly brother he never told me about? You can be honest. I won't laugh. Probably."

The white symbiote grabs Peter and a Semblance-using Ruby with his webbing and pulls them over his head, slamming them into the ground repeatedly, "I don't know who this 'Venom' you keep blabbing about. I'm Anti-Venom! Loyal warrior to the Eggman Empire and the eater of your fleshy hearts! Ahahahaha!"

Spider-Man and Ruby are in trouble fighting Anti-Venom. Sonic, however, seems to be holding his own against Zazz and his returning Moon Mech. "You're going home in a box!" Zazz threatened as he rides atop the Moon Mech to chase the speeding Sonic around the planetoid.

"If you can catch me and know how mailing works!" Sonic taunted. The hedgehog was able to evade the homing stars from the Moon Mech by back-flipping to knock Zazz off his mech. The crazy zeti quickly recovered to attack Sonic with a barrage of insane claw swipe.

"Not so tough now, tough guy?" Zazz taunted, but then Sonic broke free from his claw barrage with a speedy spin attack.

"Tough AND fast!" Sonic taunted. Zazz chuckled for a bit as he commands his moon mech to crush Sonic, but the hedgehog rolled away just seconds before he was squashed. He goes for a Spin Dash Zazz tries to block but failed and got hurt. As the two fighters have a little standoff, Sonic notices his friends are biting off more than they can chew with Anti-Venom.

"Get ready to die, humans!" Anti-Venom taunted while sending his tendrils to attack Peter and Ruby.

"I hate dying! That's overrated!" Spidey quipped. Ruby tries her best to cut off the tendrils that Zazz notices. To help his symbiote pal, he uses his magnetic ability to once again rid Ruby of her weapon.

"Oh not again!" Ruby complained.

"They're all yours, partner!" Zazz told his symbiote teammate.

"Ha ha ha! Let the fun times begin!" Anti-Venom thrust his tendrils to wrap around his two pathetic prey, levitating them into the air to demonstrate a new ability unique to him that no other symbiote could do. He begins to "cleanse" Peter and Ruby of their special powers, draining their radioactive powers and Aura/Semblance respectively.

"What is he…doing…My…powers…?" Peter remarked, struggling to break free from Anti-Venom's grasp, but the draining of his powers is making it harder to perform by the second.

"My…Aura…I can't…" Ruby weakly struggles as her Aura is being drained as well to the point she can't use her Semblance to break free.

"You two will be cleansed! Aahahahaha!" Anti-Venom cackled.

"Guys!" Sonic exclaimed as he witnesses his friends in major trouble. The hedgehog wastes no time to their rescue. He bounces off Zazz's head, making him dizzy for a moment so he could kick Anti-Venom with enough force to free his pals. "Are you guys okay?" Sonic asked them until he got caught by Anti-Venom's cleansing tendrils which starts to weaken him as well.

"Hmm. I can't seem to drain your speed, but I can seem to cleanse this 'chaotic energy' from your body. It tastes good.' Anti-Venom said. For some reason, he can't drain Sonic's speed, probably because it's natural and not something that was granted to him like Peter's spider powers. The residual chaos energy from his multiple usage of the Chaos Emeralds, however, makes for a good substitute to weaken the blue blur.

"We got to help…Sonic…but I'm still weak…" Ruby weakly said, barely having enough to strength to stand.

"Just need a little pick me up…" Peter weakly replied. Lucky for him, he spots a Burst Wisp capsule not far from him and tries to grab it with his organic webbing, but because his powers were drained, it took a while to thwip one, "Oh come on..." When he could and pulled the Wisp over, he absorbed its power to not only refill himself to full strength, but to gain the extra power to blast Anti-Venom with a Web Burst Shot, just packing the force needed to free Sonic.

"Sonic, you alright?!" Peter asked him.

"Think so…ugh…" Sonic shakes his weakened head.

"Hey, that's cheating! Using those little alien critters are against the rules!" Zazz lunges at Parker.

"So is bringing the moon to a fight!" Spidey quipped, surrounding his fists with the enhanced flaming webbing to punch Zazz so hard he bursts back through his moon mech and land on top of Anti-Venom, defeating them both for now.

"I can't believe it I lost to you punks again! Let's get out of here!" Zazz retreated before Anti-Venom.

"We will get you next time, bug, and next time, I'll drain you all dry and chew on your bones!" Anti-Venom threatened, then catches up via web-swinging with Zazz off the planetoid.

BGM End

The Burst Wisp kindly leaves Spider-Man's body to do his own thing. With the battle over, Spidey checks on his pals to see how they're recovering. "How're you guys holding up?" He asked them sincerely.

"I'm good, I'm good. Whew. Wasn't expecting to fight a guy like THAT up here." Sonic said with his usual attitude, signifying his strength is returning to him.

"Think I'm gonna be okay. For now, anyways. If he held onto me a little longer, he would've drained my Aura permanently." Ruby said, grabbing back her weapon from the ground, believing Anti-Venom has the ability to permanently drain one's Aura and Semblance forever, if given enough time.

"Same thing with my powers. It's like he was draining away the radiation from the spider bite that gave me my powers. I've never fought a symbiote that had that kind of ability before. Certainly not one immune to the standard symbiote weakness." Spider-Man agreed with Ruby that their powers would've been drained completely if Sonic didn't save them, "We need to be extra careful around that guy. That 'Anti-Venom'. Him and the Deadly Six. They're not going to be easy to beat."

"Doesn't seem like Eggman's hanging around this zone anymore. Let's head back to Tails to see if he's okay and got the Tornado up and running again." Sonic suggested.

"Right. Let's head back. I need a breather. And something to snack on." Spidey joked, swinging ahead of the gang as they head back to Tails's location.

It took a bit until the gang reunited with Tails where they left him and the damaged Tornado-1 for the past few hours. After venturing through Windy Hill and defeating Zazz and Anti-Venom, they got back to see the two-tailed mechanic still repairing the plane.

"Hey Tails! We're back!" Ruby happily waved as they approached the fox.

"Whew, alright. We good to go or what, Tails?" Sonic asked his little bro impatient as always.

A sighing Tails puts away his wrench as he approaches his friends, "I've built a TV out of paperclips…"

"Yeah…" Sonic said as Tails keeps talking.

"…and reprogrammed a super computer using dishwashing detergent and a toothpick…"

"I know…" Sonic simply replied.

"Really?" Ruby questioned if Tails really reprogrammed a super computer with simply utensils.

"That actually happened?" Spidey also questioned.

"…So look, fixing the wing and a propeller on a bi-plane? That's about as difficult as taking a nap." Tails finished as he flies up to spin the propeller and getting the plane up and running again.

"'Kay, we did not need your whole life story. A simple 'good to go' would have been cool." Sonic joked.

"Alright. Good to go!" Tails gestured.

"Cool!" Sonic smiled.

"Onward with adventure!" Ruby joyfully fist-bumped the air, excited for what awaits them next.

"Oh yeah!" Spidey agreed. With the Tornado fully repaired, Team Spidey hop onto their respective seats and fly away to their next destination of the Lost Hex: Desert Ruins.
