BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Wonder World

Ruby: My name is Ruby Rose, leader of Team RWBY! I hate sitting out on the sidelines, but what can you do when a monstrous symbiote with freaky Aura-draining powers among other crazy powers almost killed you? While I was out cold, Spidey and Sonic took on the leader of the Deadly Six called Zavok. Wish I was there to help. That guy sounded like he gave them a tough time. I'm sure we'll meet up with him again. Count on it.

Issue 13: The Venomous Truth

Sky Road Zone

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Eggman's Secret Weapon

An ominous storm overwhelms the skies of Sky Road, darkening the clouds with its mighty thunder strikes. This is all but a sign that the world is coming to an end. In just a few short hours, all life on the planet will cease to exist, drained completely by the Zeti's Extractor, which they are using its energy to make themselves that much stronger, leaving the planet Mobiant Earth a barren wasteland.

Sonic leads his group consisting of Spider-Man, an unconscious Ruby Rose being carried on Spider-Man's sticky back, Dr. Eggman, and Orbot and Cubot, through this mysterious temple-looking area they located and decided to traverse through. The temple appears to be haunted, at least to Orbot and Cubot. The two dimwitted bots shake cowardly in fear through this area, walking past under streams of sand, and might've seen a real-life ghost here and there.

Sonic takes a second to look at the dark sky above him. "Sure is getting ominous, dontcha think?" He asked his group.

"Yeah. It's like the world's in danger." Peter joked. "How much farther to Lava Mountain?" The Web-Slinger asked the egg scientist behind him.

"Just a few more miles in this direction. We should arrive there pretty soon." Eggman answered.

"Pretty soon's not good enough. We need to be there NOW." Sonic remarked, totally in a rush given the circumstances.

"Sonic's right! We need to step it up! We don't have much time until-!" Before Spider-Man could finish, his Spider-Sense goes into overload to the point he drops to his knees holding his banging headache, almost dropping Ruby off his back.

"What's the matter?!" Eggman asked what's wrong with Spider-Man.

"Spidey, you okay?! Your Spider-Sense-!" Sonic quickly remarked to his friend who is suffering the worst headache ever.

"Is going crazy!" Peter finished for him. "Aaargh! I can FEEL the Earth being drained like an empty juice box!" He said, sensing the Earth is being withered away. Color and life being drained in a green vacuum, killing everything and everyone that draws breath by taking that breath away.

"Our friends! Call our friends!" Peter hurried Sonic to call their friends down on Earth as his Spider-Sense, and his heart, are both telling him that their friends are also in grave danger and wants to check up on them at once, before it might be too late.

Sonic doesn't say anything. He just does what he's told and brings out the Miles Electric to get in contact with Amy and hope that she answers. "C'mon…C'mon…" Sonic prays Amy is still okay enough to answer the call. When she did however, both he and Peter gasp when they notice she's looking a little pale and shriveled of life. The same could be said about Knuckles, Mary Jane, Team WBY, and Team JNPR in the background. All of their friends down on Earth being drained of their energy, and it looks like they don't have much left until they're done for.

"Amy!" The S.S. Duo shouted loudly to get her faint, dying attention on them.

'It's... t-too l-late for us, Sonic. S-save the w-world and k-kick some b-butt for a-all of us…' A dying Amy requests her best friends to avenge her.

'G-go get 'em, tiger…We're c-counting on you…' A fading Mary Jane tells Peter to also avenge them.

'If Ruby's with you…t-tell her I love her…Take care of her for me, Wolf…' Yang requested Peter to do as she's on her last legs as well.

'I'm s-sorry, Sonic, I never got to s-say-.' But before Amy could finish her dying line, the screen blacks out with the last things they see are her closing her eyes, forever.

"No! NOO!" Spidey shouts, fearfully horrified to the heart that the worst has happened to his friends down on Earth.

"Amy!? Knuckles!" Sonic furiously shakes the handheld to get back in contact, but it's utterly pointless.

"They can't hear you anymore!"

That familiar, monstrous taunting voice grabs everyone's attention to see both Anti-Venom and Zavok standing on an upper ledge behind them, taunting them. "One by one your friends are falling. Soon you will be all alone." Zavok taunts the heroes, with both he and Anti-Venom continuing to taunt them with their combined laughter before they leaped into the clouds. Furious to the point where they can't think straight, Sonic and Spider-Man chase those monsters through the clouds to get revenge for their friends' apparent deaths.

"No, you fools! They're luring you to a trap!" Eggman shouted at them, but their rage clogs their ears as they still rush towards their hated enemies. Eggman wonders what he should do until he spots Ruby still lying unconscious on the floor. He kneels down and rustles her body, do everything he can to wake her up. "Nap time's over, kid! Your friends are in trouble!" He tells her.

It took a moment, but it looks like Ruby's starting to stir. Her hands move a bit. He hears her moan lowly. The little Huntress's special silver eyes blink a few times to show the world she's finally waking up and ready for some action.

BGM End

With Sonic and Spider-Man…

Lightning strikes. Thunder cackles. Atop of Zavok's repaired Mech Dragon surrounded by several other floating island temples, the merciless Zeti and the destructive symbiote land on its back, awaiting their opponents. And how quickly they arrived. Their arch-enemies, Sonic and Spider-Man, the bane of their existence have finally shown up, and they are not happy in the slightest. The thrill-seeking, go-lucky jokesters of the D-Avengers, silently fume with rage. Rage they never thought they would feel. The rage of loss. The loss of their friends and love ones. And now they stare down at their, and countless millions, murderers, Zavok and Anti-Venom.

"What's with the long faces, guys? I thought you'd be happy to see us. I mean, it's not like you're in a rush to save a girl or best friend or anything. Oops. Was that too soon?" Anti-Venom taunts his enemies with a nasty grin, riling them up more and more it almost looks like they'll turn into the Hulk.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Battle with Zavok

"Don't worry…" Zavok slowly cracks his knuckles, getting ready for the big brawl that'll end in the D-Avengers' death, "Soon, we'll send you to the same place as your friends. Death is a blessing for you foolish creatures."

"We may have not been able to save our friends, but you can be DAMN well sure we'll avenge them!" Spidey said, his voice completely mixed with rage. His rage awakens his mystical purple aura to take over his body. His eye lenses become heterochromic, turning from the usual white to vengeful red and blue, quietly manifesting the power of The Other and his status as the Avatar of the Great Weaver.

"We're going to beat you, here and now! Because if we don't…!" Sonic points at his malicious grinning enemies and gets ready to battle, two-on-two.

"WHO WILL?!" Both he and Spider-Man shouted at the same time, darting towards them for another great showdown.

Immediately both heroes go for the monster they hate the most: Spider-Man versus Anti-Venom and Sonic versus Zavok. "Hahaha! We've been looking forward seeing you squirm, Spider! You have much to pay for!" Anti-Venom smiled. Several tendrils thrust out his body towards the Spider. Silent but still deadly, Spidey unsheathes his stingers to slice them up while he leaps through them to punch Anti-Venom in the face. Utilizing his web hammers in his Crawler Assault, Spider-Man lays the ever-living beatdown on Anti-Venom like he never has before.

"Never heard you so silent, Spidey. What happened to that big mouth of yours? Did it get clogged by the blood of your friends?" Anti-Venom taunts after smacking Spidey off his combo. The webhead wasn't done as he back-flips on the dragon to launch a web barrage. Anti-Venom roars and forms an arm shield to barrel through the webbing to unleash his new Sym Wisp power. "Sym Wisp Power: Sonic Cannon!" His right arm transforms into a magenta color as he uses the Magenta Rhythm Wisp to launch a powerful soundwave at Peter, blowing him backwards and almost off the dragon.

"Usually symbiotes hate loud noises! Guess that makes you the freak of the family of freaks!" Spider-Man quipped, webbing himself back onto the dragon to kick Anti-Venom straight in the chest, then bounces above for a ferocious web-stomp. He's not done yet. He grabs the symbiote with his Ultimate Web Throw and tries to throw him overboard.

"Nuh-uh. I'm a hard symbiote to get rid of." Anti-Venom jokes. Summoning another Sym Wisp Power, he uses the Wing power-up, granting him large wings on his back to fly, unwillingly thanks to the Crimson Eagle Wisp stored in his stomach. "Now shut up and let me eat you!" Anti-Venom tackles Spider-Man from the air, trapping him in a large web for him to immediately break and demolish him with a series of melee attacks. "We live for moments like these, beating you down like the spineless weakling you are, Parker!" Anti-Venom taunts, ending his monstrous assault with his Anti-Venom Fang, the move that morphs him into a giant mouth.

"Who the hell are you?!" Spidey asked, dodging his giant mouth with a timed web-throw to the dragon.

"Your worst nightmare! We will do what Venom could not, and that is killing you!" Anti-Venom said, rushing back in to battle against his hated foe.

Spider-Man and Anti-Venom aren't the only ones having an epic battle. Sonic and Zavok duke it out, one-on-one, with neither combatant holding back their punches. "Your fate is to be destroyed! Why won't you just accept that, lie down and die?!" Zavok taunts the hedgehog, throwing a punch the nimble hero avoids over.

"'Cause I'm VERY stubborn! Why won't YOU accept that?!" Sonic quipped, performing an axe-kick Zavok blocks with his arms.

"Tenacious little hedgehog. I'd respect you if I didn't hate you so much!" Zavok retorts, deploying a dash punch attack that blows the hedgehog back.

Not one to give up after an attack like that, Sonic charges up a Spin Dash and blitzes Zavok from all sides. Irritated, Zavok commands his Mech Dragon to fire off its lasers just in time to zap Sonic when he approached. While stunned in the air, Sonic was helpless when Zavok jumps and grabs him by the neck and slams him furiously down on the dragon.

"All this effort, just to reach the one Zeti you cannot defeat. As Zor would say, "How pointless"." Zavok taunts as he slowly squeezes the life out of Sonic. Again too stubborn to die, Sonic break-dances Zavok off of him and counters with a flying kick and multiple Homing Attacks.

"Playtime is over, hedgehog!" Zavok stated, still not down for the count.

Still eager to kick his butt, Sonic dashes towards Zavok, only to get punched by the giant fist of Anti-Venom, "Knock knock!" Zavok and Anti-Venom decided to switch opponents during the chaos, with Anti-Venom focusing his tendrils on Sonic while Spider-Man dodges the flaming fists of Zavok.

"What's the point of this? You're only making things easier for me-!" Spidey taunted Zavok but was immediately cut off when he suddenly got ensnared by Anti-Venom's hidden tendrils, allowing Zavok to beat the ever-living stuffing out of him while his powers are being drained by the symbiote. Because Spider-Man was briefly focused on Zavok, and since his Spider-Sense is useless against Anti-Venom, this was a good way to sneakily attack Spider-Man.

"Spidey!" Sonic tries to rush over to help his bro, but accidently ran over Anti-Venom's hidden symbiote goo, also getting himself ensnared and unable to do anything.

"I love it when a plan comes together. Don't you?" Anti-Venom asked Zavok.

"Very. Let us finish them." Zavok replied, switching back to their initial opponents to pummel while they can't do anything about it.

"And here I thought you were a challenge! We need to find more worthy prey!" Anti-Venom taunts Spider-Man while beating him senseless.

"Perhaps when we're done here, we'll explore the remains of your decayed world for anyone slightly more challenging." Zavok chuckled menacingly, stomping on Sonic's head relentlessly. It looks like all hope is lost now that Sonic and Spider-Man are helpless to stop their enemies' vicious onslaught on them. It's like they said earlier, if they can't beat them, then who will when everyone they know and love are gone and practically dead? Well, there is one person that comes to mind.

BGM End

"GET AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS!" A girly voice shouts that distracts the villains for a moment to get strike by a familiar scythe slash coming from a cluster of rose petals.

BGM-RWBY OST-Red Like Roses Part II

Those cluster of roses so happens to the revived leader of Team RWBY, Ruby Rose, fully healed from her injuries and ready to strike vengeance on her enemies for dare hurting her friends.

"It's the brat!" Anti-Venom remarked in surprise to see Ruby still alive.

"What?!" Zavok remarked.

Ruby's not the only surprise contender. An armored-up Dr. Eggman in his Hard-Light Armor shows up from behind and punches both monstrosities away, "Never turn your backs away from the REAL danger, you traitorous neanderthals!"

Eggman keeps the two demons busy while Ruby cuts Spidey and Sonic free from Anti-Venom's goop. "Ruby, you're okay! Perfect dramatic entrance!" Sonic smiled his fellow speedsters okay, even giving her a playful noogie to her hair.

Ruby giggles, "Thanks."

"You're fine, right?" Peter asked, still a bit worried for her safety if she's not feeling up to it.

"Still a bit banged up, but I'm alright." Ruby replied, then her smile almost quickly turns into a frown. "Heard what happened on Earth."

"Yeah, it sucks." Spidey moped along with Sonic.

"No time for moping. It's time for some avenging. Avengers Assemble!" Ruby shouts, posing in front of her bros.

"You made a foolish mistake coming to us, doctor. Now we'll finish you off personally!" Zavok said, punching Eggman's armor before a roaring Anti-Venom lunges at him and swipes him viciously.

"Death to the Egg!" Anti-Venom reels back his symbiote blade to finish off Eggman for good, but got interrupted with a kick to the face by Spider-Man.

"Marvelous Onslaught!" Ruby shouts out their triple-team attack.

Spider-Man rushes in with a Crawler Assault on Anti-Venom that sends him closer to Zavok. Sonic speeds by and kicks Zavok in the back towards Spidey's assault, as the webhead web-throws both monsters into the air for a critical slash from Ruby before he web-slams them down for a triple ground-breaking stomp from all three heroes.

"Graagh! How is it not even YOU could kill one simple little girl?!" Zavok angrily asked Anti-Venom.

"Simple? Have you seen the size of her scythe she's holding?" Anti-Venom quipped.

"Gah! It doesn't matter! They'll all drop DEAD!" Zavok said, punching out segments of the Mech Dragon in an effort to drop them into the bottomless pit below.

"No, no, no, no, no!" Spidey shouts repeatedly as the gang jump off the falling body parts to safety. He web-throws both Sonic and Ruby to tackle their enemies before he slingshots himself forward to unleash his Maximum Spider on them, but with a bonus. Ruby and Sonic also join in on the fun, after the latter charged up his Light-Speed Attack.

"Maximum Speed Attack!" The trio shouted, blitzing the villains with remarkable speeds together, ensnaring them in a series of webbing, wind, and rose petals. For the finishing blow, Spider-Man webs up Sonic into a large web hammer and joins Ruby and her scythe to slam the monsters crashing down.

"We ain't done with you yet, worms!" Anti-Venom proclaims as he uses his Sonic Cannon to blast the trio. Then comes the armored Eggman choking on his neck from behind.

"I did say I'm gonna strangle a symbiote, and that's what I'm going to do!" Eggman scowled.

"Plech! Pathetic doctor!" Zavok comes in and destroys Eggman's armor with one punch, allowing Anti-Venom to breath and throw him away like he was trash.

"Anyone else with surprises?" Anti-Venom taunts his enemies with a cocky grin.

"Yeah. My Sunday best!"

The symbiote and Zeti turn in shock to see that Ruby has morphed her weapon into a large ISO-8-powered cannon that is aimed right for them. "Here's the big one…ISO-CANNON!" The little Huntress the unleashes an enormous beam of potent ISO-energy directly in front of her, big enough to engulf both Zavok and Anti-Venom into it, screaming, causing enough damage on the Mech Dragon that it crashes down on one of the floating island temples.

BGM End

Amazingly, the D-Avengers and Eggman survived the crash, popping out from the rubble with little cuts and bruises, but otherwise they're okay. "We're you trying to get us killed, you little rosy the rascal?!" Eggman shouted at Ruby for almost using a weapon that powerful it almost got them killed.

"We're still alive, so everything worked out." Ruby nonchalantly replied to the mad doctor.

"What is it with kids and their nonchalant attitude?! If we weren't working together, I would kill you myself!" Eggman retorted.

"Like that ever worked." Ruby quipped, which only irritated Eggman even more.

Spider-Man stands tall, staring at the rubble where Zavok and Anti-Venom were buried. "Stop playing dead, you two. You can come out now. We won't bite." Peter joked.

Zavok was the first to burst out from the rubble, weakened and battered from battle. It was Anti-Venom that was taking a bit long to bust out. "What's the hold up, Anti-Venom? Too scared to face me?" Spidey taunted.

Slowly, Anti-Venom busts out from his pile of rubble, looking a bit worse than Zavok. That ISO-Cannon shredded a majority of his symbiote right off the skin of his male host. "Hmm?" Spidey looks closely at the human host using Anti-Venom as he looks oddly familiar to him, almost as if he's seen this person before. As the symbiote heals itself, Spider-Man looks at the face of his newest enemy: A 6-foot blond male with short hair and blue eyes, practically glowing for vengeance that has been rooted in his heart for years.

It took a long moment staring at this man's face until it finally sparks in his head that Spider-Man recognizes this man. The man behind the Anti-Venom symbiote. The monster that tried to kill him all day. The demon that caused the death of his friends and the countless innocents of Earth. He recognizes this man. He recognizes him too well that he is absolutely shocked, deep, deep to his heart.

"It can't be…Eddie Brock?" Spidey recognizes the human behind the symbiote, as his mystic lenses turn back to normal white. Eddie Brock. But perhaps most famously known as, Venom. He's back.

Eddie stares at him strangely, as he has no clue what the hell he's talking about. "Who the hell is Eddie?" He asked the shocked Spider before the symbiote completely reforms, turning him back into Anti-Venom.

"YAAARGH!" In the meantime, Zavok throws a fireball to distract the heroes to give himself and Anti-Venom the moment to escape.

"They got away!" Sonic noticed.

Ruby runs up to Spidey, who's looking very stunned and deeply confused at the moment. "Spidey, are you alright? Did you recognize that guy?" She asked her big bro.

"That was…Eddie Brock…The original Venom." Spidey slowly told both her and Sonic that the host using the Anti-Venom symbiote is in fact the presumably deceased Eddie Brock. Unsurprised to say, both Ruby and Sonic were shocked to hear this shocking news.

"HUH?!" Ruby remarked, completely caught off-guard with that reveal.

"Whoa-whoa-whoa! Venom?! That other black monster symbiote you used to fight a lot?! Didn't you guys tell me he killed himself during that big symbiote invasion that happened a year ago?!" Sonic asked, also in shock of this news.

"He did, but I saw his face. There's no mistaking it. That WAS Eddie Brock wearing the Anti-Venom suit. He's alive!" Spidey said.

"But HOW, and why is he working with the Zeti?! Didn't he sacrifice himself to save the world?" Ruby asked, greatly confused.

Spider-Man turns his sharp lenses at Eggman, who's still reeling from the crash and reunited with Orbot and Cubot. He webs the confused doctor into his hand and raises him up high by the grip of his jacket. "What is this about?!" Eggman asked, confused and worried.

"Talk!" Spidey demanded.

"About what?!" Eggman asked.

"About Venom! Anti-Venom! The man behind that suit is Eddie Brock! HE is Anti-Venom!" Spidey angrily told him.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Eggman retorted.

"Don't you lie to me, Doc! It's because of him, most of our friends are DEAD! Now spill! What do you know about Anti-Venom? Tell us everything!" Spidey threatened the mad scientist.

"Put me down first and I'll talk! You got me?!" Eggman demanded.

"Start talking now, Doc, because we're ALL not in a good mood today!" Sonic glared at him along with Ruby, both who are also not happy with Eggman and demands he spill the beans about Anti-Venom.

"Fine! Fine! To be honest, I didn't know this 'Edward Brock' was Anti-Venom! I never bothered checking who was its host! I was more interested in the power of his symbiote! I found him in a coma here in the Lost Hex a week ago stuck inside some symbiote cocoon!" Eggman started explaining what he knows about Anti-Venom.

"Cocoon?" Ruby questioned.

"That's right. According to the Zeti, that cocoon has been up here for nearly a year!" Eggman furthered explained.

"That's around the same time Eddie scarified himself during the invasion." Spidey remarked, calming himself down a bit to finally let Eggman go. "But that doesn't make sense? How did Eddie end up here? More importantly, how did he survive? He was full on intent walking into that engine on the Helicarrier which blew the whole ship up out of the sky. No one could've survived that."

"Tails once told me Anti-Venom's Aura was using 'incredible amounts of residual ISO-8 energy'." Sonic informed the group.

"ISO-8…Wait, that's right. Brock was using the ISO Emeralds at the time to destroy the symbiotes. Their power must have teleported him to the Lost Hex during the explosion." Peter believed, after remembering the ISO Emeralds played a key role stopping the symbiote invasion.

"If that's the case, Brock should still be a dead torso!" Eggman remarked.

"But he's not. He's still alive, as Anti-Venom? How?" Ruby asked the doctor.

"The remnants of his original symbiote must have been altered and fused to his white blood cells caused by the ISO Emeralds' powers, forming the white symbiote we see him in now. To put it simply, Venom DID die on that day, but Eddie Brock did not and became reborn as Anti-Venom." Eggman explained.

"Does that explain why he doesn't remember his own name?" Spider-Man asked about Anti-Venom's amnesia.

"I presume it was his near-death experience that caused his amnesia." Eggman answered.

"And you used that to your advantage to make him your slave!" Spidey angrily retorted at the doctor, who tricked Anti-Venom into working for him with a fake promise that he'll help regain his memories.

"You tried to do the same thing with Shadow too by making him think he was an android!" Sonic added.

"Excuse me for wanting powerful minions!" Eggman retorted.

"And thanks to that, Brock is now working with the Deadly Six to destroy the world he sacrificed his own life to save because he's being manipulated that humanity is his enemy!" Spidey responded.

"Black Doom did the same thing to Shadow too, taking advantage of his memory loss and almost got the world destroyed." Sonic added.

"What is it with anti-heroes getting amnesia and working with aliens?" Ruby asked curiously, comparing both Shadow and Eddie Brock's similar history.

"We have no idea." The S.S. Duo replied with deadpan stares.

BGM-Sonic Adventure 2 OST-SA2 (Ver. C)

"Okay. New plan: We head to Lava Mountain. Stop the Deadly Six. Shut down the Extractor. Save Tails. And save Anti-Venom-I mean, Eddie Brock!" Spidey gave out the plan.

"It won't be easy. We'll be heading into THEIR territory now." Sonic said, knowing full well the next zone will be their most dangerous yet.

"Doesn't matter. They need to be stopped before more people get hurt. We owe it to countless people still counting on us. We owe it to our friends." Peter somberly said, with the heroes still sadden by their friends' deaths.

"I'm ready!" Ruby said, determined to put a stop to the Deadly Six once and for all.

"Let's go!" Sonic remarked, looking forward kicking some Zeti butt and saving his best buddy.

"Let's move out, team! We'll show them what being an Avenger is all about!" Spider-Man points bravely at the next zone they see on the horizon. Lava Mountain. The last zone in this lost continent, where awaits their toughest challenges yet.

BGM End

KFX Here: That's right, folks. Eddie Brock is back, alive, and reborn as Anti-Venom and suffering memory loss. I guess it was kinda obvious it was him, but can't blame a man for playing mind games with ya. The supporting cast like Mary Jane, the other members of Team RWBY, and Amy are currently dead. Most of Mobiant Earth is dead. I mean, damn. This is darker than Exo War somehow. The feels.

Note: I should also remind everyone that Eddie Brock in this series, his history, is mostly a combination of his original 616-counterpart (like being a reporter) and his Ultimate Spider-Man (The comic book) counterpart (for instance, he's a lot younger, like in his early 20s or something, and is a childhood friend of Peter Parker).

Question of the Chapter: How do you like the return of Eddie Brock?
