BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Wonder World

Sonic: I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog! Gettin' PRETTY tired running into Anti-Venom. The only thing scarier than his teeth is his persistence, and the fact he has an ability that allows him to absorb people and use their powers, just like how he's using the Wisps. Ruby, are you alright?! You just took a point-blank blast from his laser. Rest up, kid. We'll handle things from here.

Issue 12: Zavok's Taunt

Sky Road Zone

Sky Road, your typical islands in the sky. A zone high above the skies where ancient ruins and floating platforms are located. A peaceful, daytime-like zone where only dark entities hang out.

Ruby lies down on the comfy grass, still unconscious after her grave battle against Anti-Venom and Zor which resulted with her getting pretty wounded. Her Aura has reached an all-time low after a direct hit from Anti-Venom's laser attack, so it'll take some time until that recharges. In the meantime, Peter has just finished covering her wounds with webbing and watches over her with a sighing face of regret as he blames himself for her injuries, gently rubbing her face to see if she's alright. This adventure hasn't been too kind to everyone: Sonic inadvertently put the whole world in danger by freeing the Deadly Six and Anti-Venom from Eggman's control, which also resulted in the capture of his best friend, Tails. Peter's little sister figure, Ruby, is injured. And Eggman has control over his army. Could it get any worse? Possibly.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Who Got Us into This Mess?

Sonic stares outward to the peaceful sky zone with a sad face as he's still worried about Tails. Then comes Orbot floating behind him talking something very stupid, "If we don't find your friend, can I be your sidekick?"

"What? Shut up! What kind of question is that?" Sonic retorted after he turned around to face Orbot.

"I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought it might be better to work for you than Eggman." Orbot sassily replied.

"Hello? I'm sitting right here, you know." Eggman spoke up while in the middle sitting on a chair tinkering with Cubot's head.

"Orbot, no matter what happens, I won't fail again. I WILL save Tails." Sonic declared.

"It's stuff like that that makes me want to be your sidekick. Tails is lucky." Orbot replied, which annoyed his master enough to drop Cubot to retort to him.

"Seriously! I'm right here. I can still hear you." Eggman retorted.

Sonic turns to the webhead, still kneeling over the sleeping Ruby. "Spidey, let's go check this place out. See if we could find something." The hedgehog said, wanting to investigate Sky Road for a bit.

"Right." Peter replied somberly, standing up. But before they leave, he confronts Eggman to ask him something, "Eggman. Watch Ruby for us."

"Why?" The mad scientist replied.

"You may be the worst bad guy in the world and this whole ordeal is your fault, but I'm still trusting you to keep her safe. If anything happens to her, you'll find me scarier than any Zeti and symbiote alive." Peter coldly threatened the doctor if anything should happen to his little sis while she's recovering.

"Hmph. Fine, fine. I'll babysit the kid. Just get out of my sight." Eggman scoffed and shoos them away, accepting this responsibility watching over Ruby.

"Thank you." Peter replied, then joins Sonic to explore the floating islands in Sky Road.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Sky Road (Zone 1)

"Doesn't this place look like that first zone we visited?" Spidey joked about how Sky Road looks similar to Windy Hill as he swings high above the floating plains.

"Nope. Don't see it." Sonic quipped, running alongside the swinging spider. "I do enjoy running through these sky zones, high above the clouds. Very peaceful up here." He said, enjoying himself above the clouds.

"We needed this. Things have been pretty tense lately." Peter remarked, relaxing by parkouring off some flying Nevermores.

"Still worried though. About Tails. Our friends on Earth. And now Ruby?" Sonic said, looking a bit depressed while chaining his Homing Attacks on incoming Egg Pawns and Galaga Bee Badniks.

"They'll be okay." Peter assured him their friends will be fine.

"I know. But I'm also worried about you too." Sonic told him while bouncing off the clouds.

"Me? I'm fine." Peter quipped, casually dodging a King Taijitu Grimm like it was moving in slow-mo.

"For now. Anti-Venom's still out there. He knows who you are." Sonic replied as he finishes off a giant Caterkiller badnik.

"That is pretty worrisome, a symbiote that can take away my powers and knows my secret identity. Not good for the health." Peter joked.

"You SURE you never met this guy before?" Sonic asked him if he truly has ever encounter Anti-Venom, before their battles in the Lost Hex.

"I could NEVER forget a guy with that many teeth that I wonder how could he still talk with those. I might not know Anti-Venom, but there is a chance I might know the guy wearing the suit. Just need to see his face, and perhaps be ready for whoever it is that has a hate stick for me." Spidey replied, unsure if he wants to learn Anti-Venom's true identity.

BGM End

After playing around with the Crimson Wisp power-up, flying above the clouds a little more, they turn back to normal and sky-dive to the field below. The second they landed, Peter senses a great power near them, and it's getting closer. "I'm sensing something. Someone powerful. It's another one of the Zeti." Peter sensed.

"And by process of elimination, I think we both know who it is." Sonic said with a serious face, already having a good guess who is their next opponent.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Zavok's Taunt

The heroic red and blue duo runs ahead as they follow Spidey's Spider-Sense to the source of the problem. That problem happens to be main man that leads the Deadly Six. The maniacal red brute with a cunning mind, Zavok, who stands to see his arch-enemies approaching them with their scowl faces.

"Hello, Sonic, Spider-Man." Zavok kindly greeted his enemies.

"You're Zavok, right? We've been looking for you." Sonic replied.

"And we've been looking for you, both you two and that little girl. How is she doing by the way?" Zavok taunted the heroes about Ruby's current condition.

"Fine. Taking a little break after the smackdown we gave to your emo little freak and parasitic monstrosity." Spidey angrily quipped.

"That's good to hear. Unfortunately, I wish I could say the same about your friend, Tails." Zavok taunts back, slowly walking around them.

"Hey, you hurt one hair on his head…" Sonic starts threatening the leading Zeti.

"Don't worry, we're actually making him better. He'll be much happier as a robot." Zavok taunts them he's going to turn Tails into a robot, laughing menacingly as he leaps several feet back.

"What'd you say!?" Sonic shouts angrily.

"No! Get back here!" Spidey yells and the two begin chasing the demonic Zeti.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Dragon Dance

Zavok leaps through and on top off from multiple floating ruins to give his pursuers a good workout before he could kill them. "These are the pests who has beaten the others? Pathetic. I'm going to have to find better Zeti, once I'm done with you." Zavok taunted the heroes, laughing at their faces before he continues jumping about.

"You can't run from us, ya big red mutt!" Sonic taunts back, speeding up along with Spidey.

"Oh, I'm not running. I'm just waiting for my ride." Zavok replied.

"Ride?" Peter questioned. His answer quickly arrived in the form of a giant Mech Dragon breaking through the floors, roaring loudly.

Zavok hops to the head to continue his taunts, "Insignificant creatures! I'll shatter you, your friends, and your world!" With a simple thrust of his palm, he commands his dragon to destroy the platforms they are running along. It flies at incredible speeds to pierce through the platforms and break them. If that wasn't enough to kill them, he commands it to destroy them with fireballs, breaking more platform and ruins in the process.

"The whole place is crumbling! We need to get off!" Sonic says, looking behind to see the road collapsing.

Peter's Spider-Sense comes to the rescue once more, picking up a Sphinx Grimm flying by looking to kill them. "There's our ride! Hop on!" Spidey said. They both hop on the Sphinx before the road completely collapsed. Spidey attaches two weblines to the back of the Sphinx to reel it into his control. "Giddy up!" He jokes, managing to quell the Sphinx and get it under his control.

"You have a way with demonic animals." Sonic joked.

"I do have Salem's blood still in me, remember? Alright, let's go hunt ourselves a dragon!" Spidey whips the Sphinx and gets it to chase Zavok and his Mech Dragon.

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

"Hey Zavok! Nice dragon-bot! It'd be a shame if someone breaks it!" Peter jokes, engaging Zavok in an aerial battle. He commands his Sphinx to shoot fireballs at Zavok and his dragon. He took some damage but was able to deflect most of the fireballs with swings from his forearms.

"The Grimm are no match for a Zeti! Hah!" Zavok gets his dragon to fire lasers at the Grimm.

"Evasive maneuvers!" Peter shouts, using the Sphinx to dodge most of the laser blasts. One of them managed to scar it and slowly causes its destruction in free-fall.

"We're hit, but we're not out! Jump!" Sonic shouts. The heroes jump off the dying Grimm towards Zavok, kicking him off his dragon mech. Everyone lands on a planetoid above the clouds looking no worse for wear.

"If that's how you want to play, fine. I will show you my full strength…" Zavok said, cracking his neck and uses a hand motion to gesture them to fight him head-on.

"Sweet. We love to embarrass bad guys when they go all-out." Sonic jokes, joining Spidey to clash against the all-powerful leader of the Deadly Six. They attack him from both sides with speedy punches and kicks, but to their annoyance he's handling them like a champ, blocking and countering their attacks with incredible precision and brutality.

"It would be hard for you to joke with no teeth. I'll savor your every scream and feast upon your fear." Zavok taunted, punching Sonic away.

"How do you eat fear? Do you use a straw?" Spidey quipped, throwing a punch the Zeti grabs and crushes it, causing Peter to scream a bit in pain before getting slammed repeatedly on the ground. Sonic slides under Zavok to free Spidey from his wrath and roundhouse kicks him away, that way Spidey can shock him with electric webbing, and when the shocking was over, Sonic runs on the weblines to kick the Zeti back again, but they ain't done yet. Spider-Man jumps high to use his Ultimate Web Throw on Sonic, grabbing him with his large web ball and spins a few times in the air before throwing him down on Zavok.

"That's right. Enrage me further!" Zavok said. With a loud roar however, he punches the web ball, scattering the webbing and knocking Sonic onto Peter.

"This guy's a cut from the rest…" Spidey rubs his aching head, noting Zavok is on a level of his own compared to the other Zeti they fought, besides Master Zik. Unsurprisingly, since Zik taught Zavok everything he knew during his teaching days.

"Hmhahaha!" Zavok laughs, jumping back onto the top of his Mech Dragon after it landed. "Are you two ready to suffer?" He taunts them.

"I am getting pretty hungry." Sonic quipped, jokingly thinking he said "supper" instead of "suffer", which did annoy the red Zeti.

"Rraaagh!" Zavok growls, commanding his mech to snake around the planetoid with its body electrified trying to run over them. The duo uses their parkour skills to avoid getting tackled, including the homing fireballs from its mouth.

"Keep practicing!" Peter quipped, jumping and zipping towards Zavok on top of his mech.

"Persistent little gnat!" Zavok retorts, clashing fists with Spider-Man, matching him blow for blow.

"I prefer arachnid, thank you." Spidey quipped, webbing up his face momentarily. While Peter keeps Zavok busy as long as he can, Sonic runs up from the back of the mech, avoiding lasers, to join his pal to fight Zavok together with everything they got. Again, Zavok matches them blow-for-blow, despite getting double-teamed.

"You cannot beat me! I know your every move!" Zavok proclaimed, slowly overwhelming their attacks.

"You sure about that?" Sonic smirks. The reason for is that he spotted a nearby new Wisp capsule containing the rocky Gray Wisp. He signals Spidey to free it, so he does, using a web-yank after flip-kicking Zavok in the head and absorbs its power.

"Prepare for some intense quake action!" Spidey said. With the Gray Wisp absorbed into his body, his costume's color changes to match the alien's. The Spider stretches out his arms to form two large gray web balls. They're very heavy, but Spidey's strong enough to lift them. They're so heavy that after Peter smacks them on the ground, it causes a destructive shockwave that's powerful enough to damage the Mech Dragon and make Zavok lose balance. "Catch these for me, will ya?" He joked, throwing the heavy web balls right onto Zavok and packing enough force to knock him off his dragon in his first-ever defeat.

"I am defeated? A minor fluke." Zavok's arrogance doesn't count this as a loss, even though it certainly is. "Maybe it's too early to kill you…We'll meet again pretty soon." The ominous Zeti then leaps away down into the clouds, with no way for Sonic or Spider-Man to give chase without risking their own lives.

BGM End

"Darn! He got away! I hate it when they keep doing that!" Sonic cursed, getting really annoyed that every time the Zeti lose the first time, they escape until they come back much later, and stronger.

"If he's like the others, he'll come back, but we're running out of time. It's not long until the whole planet's energy is stolen." Spidey said, knowing time is running out for their world.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Who Got Us into This Mess?

With Zavok gone and defeated for the moment, the duo returns to reunite with the rest of the group with new information, the not-so good kind. "They're gonna turn Tails into a robot! That's horrible! What should we do…?" Sonic asked Orbot and Cubot, who are looking a little funny for some reason.

"Oh, I don't know. Being a robot's not so bad." Cubot replied.

"From where I'm sitting it's a nightmare." Orbot said, slapping Cubot's head away now that it's attached to his body, as punishment for mocking Eggman earlier. "Who thought that putting this bucket-brain's head on mine was a good idea?" He asked but no one cares. Sonic and Spider-Man are more worried about the current condition of the planet. Tails's in the process being turned into a robot. And Ruby is still unconscious. Now this is a true nightmare. A nightmare that might lead to their ultimate destruction at the hands of Zavok and his deadly, venomous team.
