BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Wonder World
Spider-Man: Watch out! It's your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man! Curse you, Zavok! Our friends are dead because of you! Both you and Anti-Venom are gonna pay for this! What? Eddie Brock?! He's Anti-Venom?! How is he still alive?! His near-death experience must have caused him amnesia and doesn't remember that he saved the world. We may have had our differences, Brock, but I'm willing to put that aside. I'm going to save you and Tails and stop the Deadly Six, no matter the cost!

Issue 14: Revenge of the Six (Part 1)
The Deadly Six's Base
"Wakey, wakey, little foxy."
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST- Tails Gets an Upgrade?
Tails slowly wakes up strapped onto a table with a Roboticizer device pointed down on him. Drops of saliva fall on the little fox as he sees they're from Anti-Venom's grinning, monstrous tongue. Zomom stands next to the symbiote eating a sandwich, while Zavok is typing on the computer to prep for roboticization on the fox cub.
"Your friends have embarrassed me for the last time." Zavok said, then points to Tails, "YOU will be the instrument of my revenge."
"It'll be fun to have your little buddy scramble you like an omelet. Omelet…Mmmmmm." Zomom moans, putting down his half-eaten sandwich on the table before pointing the Roboticizer closer to Tails.
"Enjoy your last moments of free will. When we return you'll be our slave." Zavok presses a button to begin charging up the Roboticizer and walks away with Zomom and Anti-Venom to prepare for their inevitable final battle against the D-Avengers.
With his kidnappers gone and his body strapped, just moments away from being turned into a robot, Tails is helpless. There's nothing he could do but to looks at the sandwich Zomom left behind. He stares at it and then at the toothpick stuck on it. It was at this moment Tails realized there is still hope for him.
'I've built a TV out of paperclips and reprogrammed a super computer using dishwashing detergent and a toothpick.' He remembers what he told Sonic earlier back in Windy Hill. The clever little fox uses one of his tails to pick up the toothpick out of the sandwich and uses it to start typing on the computer to sabotage the Roboticizer.
"I'm not even gonna need the detergent for this one." Tails chuckles with a clever plan in mind that'll set everything right.

Lava Mountain Zone
Lava Mountain. The last zone of the Lost Hex. A volcanic region where a huge castle can be seen in the distance beyond the deadly fire pits and the path of massive cannons that could stop an army, as well as home to the most dangerous of Badniks and Grimm living here.
The remaining D-Avengers, Eggman, and his robot lackeys walk over a long, and clearly unsafe bridge above a pool of lava. Spider-Man and Ruby walk together in front of the group as they make their way across. It's hard to make conversation with each other considering everything that has happened recently, like Tails's kidnapping, the death of their friends, and perhaps most importantly, processing the fact that Eddie Brock, the original Venom that hates Spider-Man but in the end sacrificed his own life to save him and the world during a symbiote invasion a year ago, is still alive. Reborn as Anti-Venom, but at the cost of losing his memory, which made it easier for manipulative villains like the Deadly Six to use him to destroy the world.
"It…must have been a shock for you to learn Eddie Brock is still alive." Ruby started talking so she could get in a conversation with Spider-Man about Brock's sudden reappearance.
"Yeah…For a whole year, I thought he was dead. Can't believe he's still alive." Spidey replied.
"He was like your big brother, right? You two grew up together after both your parents died in a plane crash. It kinda reminds me of me and Yang's history with our parents." Ruby said, remembering the story Peter once told her that he and Eddie Brock were childhood friends, almost as close as siblings.
"At least your sister didn't grow up jealous of you. Eddie was my bro. He always had my back. And how did I repay him by ruining his life. It's always like this. My heroics always seem to have a side-effect of harming the people closest to me. Eddie lost his job. His home. Everything, all because of me. His hatred for me and my alter-ego is what made him the perfect host for the symbiote. I created Venom. I get it. It's on both of us in some small way. If it wasn't for me, Eddie would've never sacrificed himself on that day and we wouldn't be in this mess right now." Spidey somberly explained his history with Venom, taking the blame for everything Brock has done to hurt the world.
"There's some time to fix this. I don't know how, but I know everything will turn out alright in the end." Ruby said with a face of eternal hope.
"Ruby, I'm so sorry. About everything. It's because of me, our friends-." Peter wanted to apologize but it looks like Ruby cuts him off before he could finish.
"It's NOT your fault. Not yours or Eddie's. Your bro has amnesia. He's lost and confused and being used. It's up to you to make him remember who is really is. Got it, big bro?" Ruby smiled, holding onto her big brother's hand to encourage him not to give up, not when there's still a chance.
Peter smiles behind his mask and nods, "Yeah. Thanks, sis."
Still on the bridge, Sonic got bored and decided to drop some pebbles and throws them over the bridge into the deep lava, hundreds of feet below them. "Whoa, that's quite a drop." He said.
"Yes. Yes it is." Eggman stated the obvious.
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Eggman's Sacrifice
Suddenly, Peter senses danger that's about to make their lives more difficult than it already is. Rocks come out of the sky and hits the bridge they're on. It turns out it's the Zeti, Zazz and Zomom, that threw them to destroy the bridge and cause the heroes to fall to their deaths.
"HA! You guys are going down. This energy machine has made us way stronger!" Zazz said.
The Zeti throw more rocks at them as they try to escape and destroys the bridge. Spidey holds onto Ruby and quickly leaps to the safety, but unfortunately, Orbot and Cubot didn't and presumably fell to their deaths.
"ORBOT! CUBOT!" Ruby exclaimed in horror.
In the meantime, Eggman still hangs on the broken bridge and catches Sonic before he falls. Losing his grip on the bridge and knowing he's essential in defeating the Deadly Six, Eggman sacrifices himself for Sonic, throwing the hedgehog to safety with Peter and Ruby while the mad doctor falls to his death as well with his dying scream being, "NOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Eggman?" Sonic is shocked that his most hated arch-nemesis, the man with many master plans to conquer the world, sacrificed his own life to save him.
"Sonic! We gotta move!" Spider-Man shouts as they're still being pelleted by rocks.
Sonic agrees and runs away with the others, but not before giving one quick glance at the destroyed bridge and scowls.
BGM End
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Revenge of the Six
Moments later, Zazz watches the D-Avengers from a distance to see them running towards the castle. "Time for some REVENGE! Hoo-hah! Right, master?" He asked Master Zik.
The old sage comes out from the sky and lands next to his fellow zeti, "Correct! Revenge is a dish best served cold!"
"Aw man, now you made me hungry." Zomom comes running towards the other two and stands beside them. "Let's hurry up and destroy them!" He said. The three members of the Deadly Six each perform fighting stances and take off to face the D-Avengers in their final battle.
BGM End
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Boss Rushes
While running along the path, Spider-Man senses his enemies approaching, just as he figured. "Here they come! You guys ready?" He asked his teammates.
"It's showtime!" Sonic grinned.
"Let's take them down!" Ruby replied confidently.
The heroes leap back the moment the Deadly Trio was about to stomp them. The D-Avengers versus three members of the Deadly Six. A deadly clash is about to begin.
"Avengers! Assemble!" Spidey shouted, thrusting his finger at their opponents.
"Deadly Six! Attack!" Master Zik yelled, pointing his stick at their enemies.
A three-on-three brawl in an area surrounded by lava and constantly bombarded with meteors with large lava rocks rolling around it. Spider-Man takes on Zomom. Ruby clashes with Master Zik. And Sonic collides fists against Zazz's.
"Gonna beat you like a DRUM!" Zazz taunts, throwing a fist that knocks Sonic backwards, but it'll take more than that to slow him down. Zazz fires several volleys of energy balls at the hedgehog. The blue blur zigzags away from the blasts and performs a boost to deliver a booming punch on the crazy zeti, knocking him backwards several feet.
"Whoa-ho! Is that all you got?!" Sonic smugingly taunts him, angering the zeti.
"I'm gonna kill you!" Zazz threatened him.
"Try it!" Sonic grins, jumping up for a Homing Attack.
Zazz blocks the initial attack then grabs the curled-up hedgehog and uppercuts him to the air and chases towards him for a beatdown with his claws. Sonic breaks off his combo with a quick kick before Zazz shouts, "I'm gonna…Auugh!" and proceeds to launch a horizontal line of energy balls.
"Sonic Wind!" Sonic counters with a blast of wind from his feet to destroy the energy balls. Both combatants land to almost get bombarded with the meteors, which gives both of them the idea to use them to their own advantage. Sonic kicks multiple meteors right on Zazz, getting some hits in. Zazz grabs and throws back the meteors without a moment to lose, hurting Sonic with some of the molten rocks he threw at him.
"You'd better try harder, small fry! Or you ain't never gonna beat me!" Zazz taunted.
"Perfect timing. I just finished warming up!" Sonic smirked.
"Warming up?" Zazz remarked in shock.
Sonic goes full speed using his boost to circle around Zazz. His constant speed quickly forms a gigantic blue hurricane that sucks up the Zeti and the incoming meteorites, directing the meteors to aim and pellet Zazz from all sides, including blitzing Spin Attacks from Sonic. "You're done!" Sonic delivers one finishing Homing Attack that stomps Zazz into submission, ending the tornado and finally defeating the crazy zeti.
"The boss is gonna beat me…" Zazz groans in defeat as he falls unconscious.
The victor of this first battle belongs to Sonic, but this boss rush is far from over. "Red and blue, my favorite flavor!" Zomom said, almost stomping on top of Spider-Man if the web-slinger didn't flip backwards.
"Have you ever tried webbing before?" Spidey quips, unloading a barrage of web bullets that quickly prove ineffective against the chubby zeti.
"It tastes horrible!" Zomom countered. The fat demon spins around rapidly, shooting multiple energy projectiles in the process. Spider-Man uses his acrobatic skills to avoid his attacks while placing Web Bombs to trigger once Zomom is in vicinity, which he does in a moment's time and gets ensnared by thick webbing. "Aagh! See? They're horrible!" He said.
"Not for me it's not! I find them quite a treat!" Spidey quipped, web-throwing multiple falling meteors to hit Zomom as he broke free from the webbing. With him momentarily stunned, Spidey goes for a Web-Strike that hurls him in the air for fast-strikes from the swinging arachnid. "C'mon, yellow tubby! At least make a fight out of it! Kingpin puts up a better challenge, but I can't tell which one of you is the fatter one!" He joked.
"Stop making fun of me!" Zomom smacks Peter away and burrows underground and follows Spidey.
"Fatso! The chubby zeti! The anti-diet demon! Fats-a-horns!" Spidey keeps mocking the increasingly angry Zomom, who is unknowingly being led to a lava pit all part of Spider-Man's plan.
"SHUT UP!" Zomom resurfaces from the ground but only into the lava pit, which burns him as he catches on fire and runs around like a madman shouting, "HELP! I'M ON FIRE! I'M ON FIRE! I NEED WATER!"
"I got something better than water! Fireman Spider-Man is about to splash you with a web-hammering smackdown!" Spidey pummels Zomom with hard-hitting, lightning-fast web hammer attacks, spinning around with the hammers and slams him and then uppercuts him. For the finishing blow, Peter wraps his right fist with repulsor webbing, and within a single leap, he clobbers Zomom, resulting in a large explosion that would've blown off Peter's arm but didn't, but it was enough to finally defeat Zomom for good.
"Mom was right, I'm a failure…" Zomom groans, falling to his knees and then lies on the ground unconscious.
"Ouch." Spidey quipped.
It's 2-to-0 for the heroes. Now it's up to Ruby to finish off Master Zik by herself. "This time, I will hold nothing back!" Zik stated.
"Me neither!" Ruby responded.
Scythe and stick clash intensely in this heated battle between a young student and an old master. It would seem Ruby has gotten more skilled during this adventure, as she holding her own against Zik's ridiculously-fast stick strikes and is capable of blocking and deflecting a majority of his attacks. Zik changes things up a bit and fires large balls of energy that are hard to avoid regularly. So, Ruby uses her Semblance to speed-dodge the energy balls and land a strike on the old zeti. He quickly bounces back and launches a crescent blue wave of energy that Ruby narrowly avoided at the cost of her left sleeve torn up.
"HAAAH!" Zik leaps in and kicks Ruby and does extremely-skilled combos that knocks her to the sky towards the meteor fall. Ruby recovers and gasps as she realizes the meteors are about to fall on her, which gives her a great idea. Using her Semblance, she hops off the meteors one by one and in a flash knocks them down on Zik in the process.
"What are you planning, child? Your tactics won't work on me!" Zik taunts her by destroying the meteors that are smacked towards him. At the exact moment he destroys another meteor, Zik realizes Ruby was gone from his sight. "A distraction!" He realized.
"You betcha it was!" Ruby taunts, coming from his side in a stream of rose petals carrying a dozen meteorites. Before Zik could react, the huntress drills onto him, leaping above him so her meteorites could add extra damage to the wounded master. From what she could tell, one more attack should finish him off.
"Time for the student to become the master!" Ruby swings her scythe to her side, and with a loud battle-cry, dashes towards Zik.
"Here is your final lesson!" Zik spins his staff, and with his own battle-cry, darts towards Ruby.
Both mighty warriors approach the other at incredible speeds with their weapons in hand. At the exact moment they believe was the right time, they each perform a Zantetusken, executing a single, impossibly fast strike that will decide this battle. After that single clash, both warriors find themselves at the opposite side and just stands there for a few seconds, waiting for the other to fall down in defeat.
"Ugggghhh…" It was Master Zik that groaned as he falls down to his defeat, with Ruby coming out from that clash with a few cuts on the face and clothing. "You've beaten an old man, are you proud…?" Zik weakly asked before falling unconscious.
BGM End
And with that last defeat, the victors go to the D-Avengers, having just defeated three of the six Zeti. "Whewww." Ruby wipes the sweat from her forehead as that was most definitely a tough workout.
"Looks like we won this round." Sonic said, walking with Peter as they approach Ruby.
"Thankfully." Ruby smiled.
"Three down, four to go. That includes Anti-Venom. I have a hunch just talking to Brock won't bring back his memories. Maybe talking to him while beating him up will do the trick." Spidey said, having a plan in mind how to help Brock regain his memories.
Ruby's face turns into a frown as she wants to attempt something, even though it might be pointless. "Should we try calling if anyone's still…" She wants them to try and get in contact with their friends down on Earth to see if they're still alive, that there's still hope at least one of them are okay.
BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Solitude
Sonic and Peter's faces say it all. They already know the answer, but a part of them still wants to believe otherwise. Slowly, Sonic takes out his Miles Electric to make one last attempt to contact anybody. "Amy? Knuckles? Anybody?" He asks but gets no response but just gets static.
Peter touches his ear comm to call JARVIS, the Avengers' A.I. butler, "JARVIS. Are the Avengers…the Freedom Fighters…?"
'I am sorry, sir, but I can't get in contact with the other Avengers or the Freedom Fighters. They cannot respond.' JARVIS responded with a bit somberance, which reconfirms what they already know. Their friends. Family. They're all gone. Most of the planet has no life anymore. It's just these three, alone in this floating continent. Sonic sighs while Peter touches his shoulder to comfort him and a silently crying Ruby with a hug, with nothing the but quiet wind to accompany their loneliness.
BGM End
KFX Here: Half of the Deadly Six are taken out. Now it's the other half's turn, along with Anti-Venom. The final battle draws near. Look forward to it.
