Issue 5: Twin Electro
Together with their counterparts at last, the Sonics and Spider-Men formed the time-patrolling group called Team SSSS and now journey through this White Space City to find the Time Eater. While they journey through the city to locate the next time hole, the team take the time to get acquainted with their own counterparts.
"Never in a million years would I ever imagined I'd race against myself." Modern Sonic grinned, racing against his classic self through the white streets of New York.
"We all know who's gonna win this race. Me, obviously." Classic Sonic smirked.
"Yeah, right!" M. Sonic smirked and the two of them start laughing together.
"So, O'Hara, haven't seen you in a while. What's been going on in the future?" Spider-Man Prime asked his future counterpart, web-swinging with him above the streets.
"Oh, you know. Tirelessly saving a city that doesn't appreciate you 24/7. The usual. You?" Spider-Man 2099 replied.
"Same. Nice to know some things never change." Peter joked.
On the Spider-Mobile, the Tails' are in the middle of their own conversation. "You added legs to the plane? What have you done to Sonic's Tornado?" Classic Tails asked his modern self from the passenger seat.
"Yeah…I really did overdo it with the legs…" Modern Tails replied, feeling a bit embarrassed.
And in the back of the car, Team Kid RWBY have a moment to themselves. "Team RWBY? That's our team name in the future?" Kid Blake asked her future teammates.
Kid Ruby nods excitedly in response, "Big Brother Spidey says I'm gonna be the leader of the team, and you're my partner," She innocently points at an unamused Kid Weiss.
"The Headmaster of Beacon must be really stupid to appoint a kid as team leader. I should be team leader." Kid Weiss arrogantly said.
"Drop the ice on that attitude first and we'll see, Ice Princess." Kid Yang punned.
"Why do people keep calling me that?!" Kid Weiss complained, raising her hands angrily to the sky.
"So what's the deal with that giant creature that brought us here? What's it doing?" Peter asked his future counterpart as he wants to know more about the Time Eater and its goals, if it has any.
"That thing's a mindless beast. It has no goal other than rip through time. Tear it apart. Changing our history," Miguel started explaining, "If history is in any way altered or distorted, it could change the world as we know it."
"How? Sorry, I'm just…time travel gives me a headache." Peter asked, a little confused.
"Let me show you," Miguel presses a button on his communication watch and pops up three holographic screens of Peter's recent visits into the past fighting the likes of Vulture, Green Goblin, and Lizard, "What you haven't been seeing, history has already changed multiple times. The villains of the past grew stronger and crueler than their historical form. Strong enough to kill you and disrupt the flow of time, "He shows Peter images of Vulture killing his past, classic self, Goblin impaling Peter with his glider, and Peter being crushed by the heavy contraption in Doc Ock's old underwater lab. These images silently shock Peter as Miguel continues talking, "But now, because of these time rifts, we can go back to the past and correct history to the way it should be, or as accurate as we can get it."
Peter sighs after being educated on the flow of time being attacked, "This is a lot to take in. But, why is it my and Sonic's history being attacked?
"I have no idea." Miguel casually replied.
While driving, M. Tails picks up a time hole reading from his Miles Electric, "We're closing in on another time hole! Stay alert!"
The Time Patrollers make their stop at the crowded Time Square, pestered with lifeless statues of many New Yorkers, including a man made out of rocks, wearing pants with the symbol "4" on the belt, and a cute little rabbit accompanied with her little chao friend.
"Who are these guys?" C. Sonic asked.
"It's Cream and The Thing." M. Sonic answered.
"What kind of name is "The Thing"?" Kid Weiss asked.
Miguel walks up close to scan the Time Hole next to the statued heroes, "It's a distortion in time alright. This will take us to an earlier point in Sonic's history."
"What are we waiting for?" M. Sonic grins, cracking his knuckles as the heroes take the Spider-Mobile into the time hole for their next mission.
Speed Highway
BGM-Sonic Generations OST-Speed Highway (Modern)
The time-traveling heroes end up in a nightly portion of Station Square filled with skyscrapers and tall buildings. "I know this place. This's Speedy Highway." M. Sonic grinned, happy to be revisiting a zone he's more familiar with.
"We need to find the time hole that leads to the current change in history," Miguel presses a button on his wrist device to bring up a small, yellow holographic woman in a dress.
"Who's that?" Kid Yang asked the future spider about his personal A.I.
"I'm a 22nd century Lyrate Life-Form Approximation," Lyla started speaking, amazing the Remnant kids, "For my time period, I'm rather ordinary. But here, I'm beyond cutting edge."
"Lyla, where's the next Time Hole?" Miguel asked his A.I.
"Approximately 25 miles north from here. I'll inform you of any shortcuts along the way." Lyla answered.
"Thanks."
"What're we waiting for? Let's get busy." C. Sonic grinned and starts taking off.
"Right behind ya, dude." M. Sonic dashes off with him along with the Spiders swinging above.
"Fasten your seatbelts, kids!" M. Tails grins, instructing his time-displaced friends to put on their seatbelts as he drives the Spider-Mobile into the crazy highways of Speed Highway. They drive down a long road up through a large loop. This caught the attention of the local badniks, Cop Speeders.
"Police!" Kid Ruby exclaimed.
"Never seen those type of Badniks before." C. Tails said.
"They go down just as easy as the others. Watch!" M. Tails presses a button that protrudes two high-tech blasters and destroys the incoming badniks, even throwing in a little web shot at a Speeder.
Modern Sonic's having a blast running along and breaking a glass wall. His classic self is enjoying himself rolling down a large road slope before latching onto a rocket that flies him past Peter, who's hanging on the side of a helicopter observing the city.
"How do people drive in this place?" Peter asked himself, then jumps into the air to repeatedly web strike a row of floating Spinner and Thunder Spinner badniks. "Hey Miguel, try to speed up!" He taunted his future self.
"I'll get right on that when I'm not busy with the police!" Miguel retorted while he fights a couple of Speeders, webbing them to the ground and continues his web-swinging fun.
"So what's your history with this place?" Classic Sonic asked his older self.
"At this time, Eggman released a water god named Chaos to take over the world." Modern Sonic replied.
"Water god…" C. Sonic remarked, a little worried because of his fear with water, "That didn't sound fun."
"No it wasn't. Hated fighting Chaos," M. Sonic replied, sharing his counterpart's feared sentiments, "Didn't help that the big drip kept getting stronger with each Chaos Emerald. Soon it became too powerful for Eggman to control, so I had to use the Emeralds to calm it down before it destroyed the world."
"Didn't think Eggman would go on and try to control gods in the future." Classic Sonic remarked of what his arch nemesis would later do in his career.
"He still does it time to time, and always fails." M. Sonic said. The other time patrollers soon catch up to the Sonics running up a building and breaking through glass windows of a restaurant.
"What is wrong with you two?!" Kid Weiss criticized the hedgehogs for recklessly running through a restaurant building.
"There was no one there, weren't there?" M. Sonic smirked back. As everyone either runs down the tall building, or in the Spiders' case free-falling, a horde of Cop Speeders is seen chasing them. "I remember this." M. Sonic said, remembering a similar sequence in the past.
"See?! We're in trouble because of you!" Kid Weiss shouted at Sonic, the older one.
"I don't see how we can outrun them!" Peter shouted, web shooting like mad at the chasing Speeders.
"No need! Look!" Lyla points everyone to a Time Hole down the building.
"Is that the one to my world?!" Peter asked the futuristic A.I.
"Not exactly!" She replied as the heroes venture into the portal to escape the rampaging Speeder badniks.
BGM End
Emerald Coast
BGM-Sonic Generations 3ds OST-Emerald Coast (Classic)
Team SSSS pop out of the portal and eat the coursing sands of a peaceful beach resort, along with the gang on the Spider-Mobile who arrived safe and sound. "Where are we?" Classic Tails asked.
"We're in Emerald Coast." Modern Tails answered, a bit surprised to suddenly be here again.
"Is this the place?" Miguel asked if this zone is the source of the distortion.
"No. The time distortions are getting worse. We should still be able to locate our primary destination in this zone." Lyla answered.
"At least we won't have to deal with the monkey cops anymore." Peter quips before they take off to the islands of Emerald Coast.
C. Sonic runs on the wooden walkways to spin through a Rhinotank badnik and grins, "I'm definitely coming here for my next vacation."
"Take it. This place is great. Just avoid the killer whales." M. Sonic quipped while homing attacking Kikis.
"This is where I first appeared in Sonic's world. The beginning of many, many dimension-hopping adventures, "Spidey reminisces while web striking a Sweeper and throws it at a tree, "Eggman and Ock teamed-up. Then me and Sonic teamed-up. Kicked their butts, and the rest is history."
"Am glad to have met ya, Pete. Your one cool dude" M. Sonic smiled.
"Thanks, but you do get on my nerves sometimes." Peter joked, maybe.
"Glad. And your jokes need some fine tuning." M. Sonic quipped.
Not long, the time-hopping heroes travel on a long wooden planks. Peter's helpful Spider-Senses tingles to something swimming below them and causing the road to rumble. "What's that?" He asked. Then, a huge orca pops out behind them, breaking a part of the road and begins chasing them.
"A giant whale!" Kid Ruby exclaimed as the kiddy Team RWBY's eyes are widen to the giant whale.
"Is that the giant whale you talked about?!" C. Sonic shouted to his older self as they run away from the killer whale.
"It's actually an Orca but what's the difference?!" M. Sonic loudly replied.
"Shock! This is why I don't visit the beach!" Miguel jokes.
Luckily, they were able to outrun the killer Orca and land on shore, spotting their target portal that leads a nightly carnival city dead ahead. "Is that it?" Peter asked.
"Yes. That portal should take you to the change in history." Lyla answered.
"Wonder where it leads? Looking forward to it." Peter quipped.
"Can we come!?" Kid Ruby asked excitedly, wanting to witness this point in history with her own eyes, with the other future members of Team RWBY seemingly agreeing with their future leader.
The amazing webhead sighs, "Fine. Just this once, so stay safe."
"YAHOO!" Ruby cheered as the whole gang enters the portal in history.
BGM End
Night Carnival
As the heroes walked out of the time portal into Night Carnival, dozens of people scream for their lives as they run away from the numerous electrical strikes tearing up the city. "Where are the people running away from?" Peter asked as his Spider-Sense starts tingling.
"AHAHAHAHA," The heroes look up to see a masked man in a green and yellow jumpsuit, wearing a mask that resembles a lightning bolt hovering in the air using the electricity he sparks out from his hands, "SPIDER-MAN! I was wondering where you and your new rat friend would show up! The docs will be pleased to hear me destroying you!"
"Electro…Oh yeah, I remember this," Peter turns to M. Sonic, "This is one of the places we checked out during our first team-up."
"Oh yeah, when you tricked me to go out on a date with Amy." M. Sonic crosses his arms and glares at Peter.
"You had a good time. Don't deny it," Peter quipped as he turns to the Tails, "Tails'! Fox boys! Take the girls to a safe place and a good view of us kicking the shock out of Electro here!" He commanded.
"Right!" M. Tails nodded and starts driving away.
"Good luck!" C. Tails waved at his heroes.
"Fight well!" Kid Blake shouted.
BGM-Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions OST-VS. Electro (Overload)
With them gone, Team SSSS can focus their full attention on Electro, as the living lightning rod takes out a blue ISO-8 crystal and absorbs its power, transforming himself into a pure being of made of electrifying blue energy. "With this ISO-8, I can absorb all energy. ENERGY WITHOUT LIMIT!" Electro proclaimed.
"You said that last time and it didn't work. Can't wait for history to repeat itself." Spider-Man Prime said clenching his right fist, looking forward to kicking Electro's butt again.
"I wouldn't get your hopes up about that." A new voice speaks out and enters the battlefield with a blast of light blue electricity. This new figure rises next to Electro, looking like a silver android colored light blue in parts of the arms and face, sparking electricity around its body.
"Another Electro due?" Classic Sonic asked, wondering who this Electro rip-off is.
"It's the Electro from my time. An android construction worker that was in an accident that gave him his powers." Miguel briefly explained the origins of Electro 2099.
"Still shouldn't be a problem for us." M. Sonic grinned, looking ready to fight. Both Electros grin as a dark aura envelops them, giving them a formidable increase in power. "Never mind. We're in trouble." M. Sonic quipped, losing his grin and replaces it with a look of worry.
Both powered-up Electros charges up their hands and fires multiple lightning bolts the heroes are forced to dodge like crazy. "Where does that dark power keep coming from?!" Peter asked while avoiding getting shocked.
"The Creature that sent us here is increasing their power to alter history, bringing villains from different timelines to further the chaos," Spider-Man 2099 started explaining, avoiding an electric punch from Electro, "They're in a "Xeno" Mode, a form of negative quantum energy that's harnessed from time itself! It'll take our combined strength to defeat them and correct history," He finished explaining, webbing up Electro and throws him to a building.
"Not a problem! Let's go, little me!" The Sonics grin and jump at Electro 2099 and hit him with a combined spin attack.
"That tickled, and I don't like being tickled!" Electro 2099 proclaimed he barely felt their attack, and with a wave of energy, blasts the Sonics out of his sight.
"I can take on these chumps myself!" Electro told his future counterpart.
"Better safe than sorry, dude!" Electro 2099 replied and they both firing powerful electrical bolts that knocks away the heroes.
"Ergh! Won't beat him like this. Let's try another approach." Spidey said. He covers his hands with his webbing, "This helped us last time. Follow my lead!" He commanded. The spectacular web warrior throws a trash can at his electrical nemesis, who growls and retaliates with an electric bolt Peter easily dodges. "Lousy shot, Max! Go get some glasses, and pants! I can see your junk! Sheesh!" He covers his eyes to not see Pure Electro's junk, getting him irritated and launch a powerful lightning attack. Peter flips high into the air avoiding getting crisped, simultaneously grabbing Classic Sonic and puts him in a wrecking web ball. With a loud battle cry, Peter smacks Electro with the wrecking ball, then goes up close and personal with his webbed fists, unleashing his mighty Spider-Fu before using C. Sonic again for the slamming finisher.
"Can't touch me, you shockin' scrap pile of metal!" Miguel quipped as he side-steps from an incoming electric tackle from Electro 2099.
"Stay still so I can blow out your brains!" He threatened. He fires an electric fist at Miguel but was blocked by his left insulated arm. With his webbed right fist, Miguel launches a powerful fist that sends the future shock into M. Sonic's direction. He launches two weblines pass the flying Electro android to envelop Sonic in a large web ball, yanking it in to smack the android while he's still flying. Miguel lets out a battle cry and slams the Sonic Web Ball right on top of the electric android.
"Did we get 'im?" M. Sonic asked after popping out of the web ball.
"YAAAAGH!" The android roared, unleashing electricity to escape the ground. The same thing happening with the original Electro, and the two energy villains rise into the air above their annoying enemies.
"Fools! Now we'll show you what OUR powers combined will look like!" Electro snarled. The two Electros turn into small balls of electricity and twirl around the other multiple times before clashing. The energy coming from them is massive, causing every electrical appliance in Night Carnival to go haywire, even causing the sky to rain and create a frightening vortex in the dark sky. With their powers combined, they form a massive Electro that looms over the small heroes.
"HAHAHAHA! HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?!" Xeno Electro laughed.
"All that power and still no pants? What's the improvement?" Spider-Man Prime joked.
Xeno Electro roars and gets charged up with his dark aura. He starts launching massive beams of energy that almost vaporizes the heroes as well as those hiding with the Tails from a safe distance. "He's too powerful for any normal attacks! What should we do?!" Miguel asked while swinging from more massive energy beams.
"The ocean! That's how we beat him before! Follow me!" M. Sonic leads his pals, and the unknowing giant Electro who's following them just to kill them, to the docks that leads to the open waters next to it, "Now we need to get him to take his bath."
"How?! He's too big!" C. Sonic asked.
"And that's his downfall!" M. Sonic replied, planning to use Xeno Electro's giant body to stop him.
"TIME TO ROAST ME SOME FRIED HEROES!" Electro said, firing an energy beam. The heroes dodged it so it can pierce through a part of the docks, slightly unstabilizing it.
"I get it now. Good plan." Miguel complimented Sonic's plan.
"Here I am, lightbulb! Let's make this personal!" Peter goaded.
"I'M GONNA HAMMER YOU!" Electro slams a fist that Peter barely avoids, causing another part of the docks to crack and leak water.
"I'm over here, buddy! Give me your best shot!" Classic Sonic taunted the giant electric man.
"WITH PLEASURE!" Electro slams another fist the blue hero narrowly avoided, causing the docks to further crack with water. This starts to get his attention as water from the docks start spraying on him. "AAHHHH! IT'S TOO MUCH! GOTTA GET AWAY!"
Too bad for him, the Spiders webbed up his feet to prevent him from moving an inch. Meanwhile, the Sonics stand behind him for the finishing blow. "Hey big guy! Drinks are on us!" M. Sonic said, charging up a spin dash with his younger self and fires on Xeno Electro's back, crashing him down through the docks and into the large ocean, short-circuiting him. He screams as he feels his powers fading away into the water, finally defeating the electric menace.
BGM End
"We did it! History here has been corrected." Miguel said as the heroes notice the Tails and Team Kid RWBY driving up to them.
"You did it, guys!" The Tails said simultaneously.
"You sure showed him what's…watt." Kid Yang punned, making her future teammates groan in disgust.
"This was a problem since she was a kid?" Peter asked, referring to Yang's terrible puns.
"She probably got that from us." M. Sonic believed.
"So 'we're' the problem. Oh god, what have we created?" Peter joked.
A Time Key forms above the heroes and descends into Peter's hands, "It's another one of these keys."
"A Time Key. It's connected to this era. Find all three, and we can fix the major time distortion of this era." Miguel explained.
"Glad some things are starting to make sense," Peter said, flipping the key in the air as a time hole opens up back to White Space, "Here's our ride. Let's head back." He said and everyone walks into the time hole.
White Space Manhattan
The heroic time patrollers arrive back just in time to see Time Square being restored to its original state, including Cream the Rabbit, her chao Cheese, and Ben Grimm. "Heh-hey! Look! We're back to normal! You guys did it!" The Thing happily said to their rescuers.
"Thanks for saving us, guys. It was scary in the dark, but I tried to be brave." Cream said.
"Good job, kid." Classic Sonic gives his future friend a thumbs up but it also makes her confused who she's looking at.
"Hey, is it me, or did you get a new haircut?" Cream asked Classic Sonic, making him shock and run his hand through his quills.
"That's my younger self you're talking to, Cream." Modern Sonic told her.
"Younger self? You time traveling or somethin'? Does that explain why there's two Spideys," The Thing points at the Spider-Men, "And why the kids are smaller kids," He then points to Team Kid RWBY.
"Yup." Peter casually answered.
Ben face-palms, shaking his head with a sighs, "Of course somethin' like this happens when we celebrate your birthday for once."
"We're gonna go set everything right. Can you and Cream hold the fort here?" Peter asked the two to protect Time Square while they save the city.
"You can count on us, webhead. Go clobber that thing for us." The Thing smiled.
"We'll do our very best." Cream politely bowed in response while Cheese nods.
"Onto the next time zone." Peter said, and the Time Patrollers roll out to find the next Time Portal.
