Issue 10: Back to the Awakening
White Space Manhattan, Triskelion
"Why am I not surprised," Peter questioned, traveling with his friends to the Triskelion, home base of S.H.I.E.L.D. And like everything else in this white void, it's drained of its color along with the countless S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the vicinity, including the director, Nick Fury and his second in command, Maria Hill, "Here we are coming to the Triskelion to find the next portal, thinking we could get some help from S.H.I.E.L.D., only to find out thousands of highly-trained agents, their one-eyed boss and his grouchy assistant, have turned into life-model statues." He joked.
"Since when do we ever need help from S.H.I.E.L.D.? We're always the ones doing all the heavy lifting." M. Sonic asked as they walk around.
"Someone's got to clean up after ourselves." Peter joked.
"To think a military force as strong as Atlas's could be beaten so easily." Kid Weiss commented, comparing the Atlesian Military to S.H.I.E.L.D.
"It's not like we all knew we would get snatched up by a time-traveling monster." C. Sonic replied.
Thanks to Lyla pointing them to the right direction, they locate the next portal floating right next to the statues of Chrom's little sister, Lissa, Vector the Crocodile, and Lie Ren. "Same routine as before. We need to hurry. All these time distortions are ripping apart our worlds by the second. If we don't stop this, everything will be wiped out." Miguel said.
"We got this. Nothing can scare us!" Kid Ruby said determinedly.
"Kid's got a point." C. Sonic smiled.
"Let's go." Miguel and his allies walk into the time portal back to the past.
Spagonia, Rooftop Run
BGM-Sonic Generations OST-Rooftop Run (Modern)
It's a wondrous day during this time period. The team arrives in Spagonia, a town famous for its cultural structures and rooftops. "Hey! This is Spagonia, right? I've heard about this place! I finally get to visit it!" C. Tails said happily.
"And it's looks like we're in the middle of a party!" Modern Tails smiled, looking up to see all the festive confetti and balloons all around Spagonia.
"Can we join the party?!" Kid Ruby asked excitedly.
"Why of course!" Peter grabs the young silver-eyed girl so he could show her the beautiful sights of Spagonia, bouncing off each balloon they see, "WOOOHOOOO!"
"HAHA! THIS IS SO AWESOME!" Kid Ruby exclaimed with excitedly joy.
The other members of Team SSSS pick up their own RWBY kid to have some fun with. Miguel carries Kid Weiss swings up the rooftops, web striking the Egg Launchers that are shooting missiles at them. "This town ain't so bad!" Miguel commented, actually having fun swinging through this city. Classic Sonic carries Kid Blake and the two have a high-speed adventure down a cellar while avoiding large barrels and knocking Egg Fighters into next week, even destroying a giant airship in the sky. Kid Yang holds onto Modern Sonic as the hedgehog run up a tall clock tower, with the two grinning as they avoiding the lasers from the Aero-Chasers and jump above the tower, getting an amazing view of the town before grinding down a rail to the next area. Even the Tails get in on the fun, putting the Spider-Mobile on auto-pilot as fly around with their friends. The Tails, Team SSSS and the RWBY kids eventually re-group so the Remnant kids could high-five each other for having a great time with their now-future friends.
"I've always loved coming back here!" Modern Tails smiled.
"What's your history with this place?" Kid Blake asked Modern Sonic.
"Eggman broke the planet into pieces to unleash Dark Gaia, an ancient god monster of darkness that really made a mess of things." M. Sonic answered.
"HE BROKE THE PLANET?!" The RWBY kids, the Classic Duo, and Miguel exclaimed in absolute surprise.
"Yup," M. Sonic casually replied, "We fixed it, of course. Couldn't have done it without our pal, Chip."
"I miss Chip." M. Tails said, missing their Light Gaia friend who loved chocolate and other foods.
"It's okay, Tails. He's a part of the earth we thread. He's always with us." M. Sonic smiled to cheer up his best buddy, which works.
"I really hope we don't have a god monster that lives inside MY planet." Peter remarked.
"I don't see how's that possible though." Miguel replied.
"Everything we DO is not possible!" Peter retorted as they find the next portal and enter it swiftly.
BGM End
Tropical Resort
BGM-Sonic Generations 3ds OST-Tropical Resort (Modern)
Next stop is a familiar amusement park set in outer space above Mobius, as the heroes dash out of the portal to opening area that is Tropical Resort. "Now THIS is a place I wanted to revisit!" M. Sonic grinned.
"Wow…." The RWBY kids take in the beautiful scenery of the planet outside the park. "An amusement park in space?! It's official! I love your world!" Kid Yang expressed.
"We just visited this place recently, back when Eggman and Doc Ock kidnapped the Wisps to power up a mind-control weapon." Spidey Prime said, still swinging around with Ruby.
"That means we're catching up with current history. This adventure should be over soon." Miguel proclaimed. While swinging with Weiss, he unexpectedly frees a Burst Wisp from its capsule. "Huh? What the shock are you? An alien?" Miguel asked the red alien but is having trouble understanding it's alien language.
"That's a Burst Wisp! Try it out! It's great!" Peter instructed.
"What do you mean 'try it out'-?" Before Miguel could finish, the Burst Wisp flies inside the future spider, allowing itself to be absorbed. "Hey, what did you-," Suddenly, Miguel's costume gains a futuristic, neon-red color, "WHOA! This is a new experience!" Miguel tries out his new powers against some Egg Pawns. He fires large flaming web bombs that explode upon impact, destroying a whole group of Egg Pawns in a single blow. "I could get used to this!" He said, slashing his flaming talons on more robots, even forming a fiery Accelerated Decoy that blows up if you so much as touch it, which is what some idiotic Egg Pawns did.
Classic Sonic joins on the fun, holding onto Blake as he absorbs a Burst Wisp of his own. "Sonic, you sure that's a good idea-." Blake was cut off when she and Sonic's body turns into red, large versions of their heads with no facial features except for the eyes. With this new power, C. Sonic jumps repeatedly in the air, charging up his power to unleash a large explosion that destroys nearby enemies before they turn back to normal. "Never again…" Kid Blake said, dizzy while Sonic laughs.
Meanwhile, both Modern Sonic and Spider-Man Prime free themselves a few Laser Wisps. "Hello there, guys. Long time no see." M. Sonic greeted his alien friends.
"Hi!" Kid Ruby shakes the tentacles of a Laser Wisp, who happily accepts. The cyan aliens allow Peter and Sonic to absorb them, granting them the powers of Laser. With a thwip from his Laser-enhanced Web Shooters, Spidey and Ruby transmit themselves through the laser webbing to bounce off the walls repeatedly, hanging around M. Sonic and Yang who've also transformed into lasers with them. They have so much fun as lasers they already zipped into the next portal with the others following suite.
BGM End
Chrom's world, The Mila Tree (The Fell Awakening Timeline)
From Tropical Resort, the gang winds up in the shrine of a very large tree known as the Mila Tree, a location located in Chrom's world and a place Sonic and Peter visited not long ago. "And this place is…" Miguel asked.
"I think this is…the Mila Tree. We visited this place when we visited Chrom's world, to find a dragon girl named Tiki. I can sense our past selves are still down below fighting Walhart's forces." Peter answered.
BGM-Dragon Ball Xenoverse OST-Cutscene: Grave Mishap
"AAAAAAH!" The screams of a girl capture the heroes' attention and they race off to the source. Close to the shrine they find Tiki, the voice and princess of Lady Naga, the prime divine dragon, being assaulted by Walhart the Conqueror himself and an old foe of Spider-Man, Michael Morbius the Living Vampire. The two time-displaced villains loom over the weakened Tiki, already in their second-stage Xeno Mode, brimming with dark energy.
"Tiki!" M. Sonic exclaimed.
"Walhart?! And Michael Morbius?! They shouldn't be here! Walhart especially! We don't fight him until later!" Peter said.
"Tiki holds the gemstone called Azure that's needed to complete the Fire Emblem. If she dies and the gem is destroyed, our past selves won't be able to defeat Grima, changing the course of history!" M. Tails explained to those unware of this timeline's history.
"Kids!" Peter turned to the RWBY kids.
"We know!" Kid Ruby nodded, running with the other children along with the Tails to a safe place to hide while Team SSSS to do all the work.
BGM End
BGM-Dragon Ball Xenoverse OST-Open Field
Xeno Walhart knocks Tiki around a little more and prepares to finish her with his lance called "Sol" until he hears someone making fun of him, "Picking on little girls, Walhart? Is that how you made your reputation as "conqueror"? A big fat bully is more appropriate."
The dark conqueror, as well as Morbius, turns around to face Spider-Man and his Team SSSS. "Well, if it ain't the childish "Hero-Spider" and the blue rat. I thought my forces were keeping you busy." He said, already swinging his lance at his foes.
"We decided to hurry it up when he heard you were having a great time playing with Tiki." M. Sonic quipped, launching a homing attack Walhart blocked with his lance.
"You're not usually one to come out to do your own dirty work. Got bored sitting on your throne all day?" Peter joked, jumping over his lance swing.
"I thought it would be a good idea to strike the Voice before Ylisse could reach her. This country is mine to rule, and I can't allow you or anyone else get in my way!" Walhart fires a dark energy blast from his lance that the heroes avoid presumably because he's in Xeno Mode.
'He doesn't have the War Stone with him. Good. Taking him out will be tough but easy. The other guy on the other hand…' Peter gets snatched in the neck by Morbius, 'Will be trouble.' The Living Vampire pins Peter to a tree and tries to bite his fangs on his face to consume his blood, but Peter keeps moving his head left and right to make it hard for him to connect. "Michael. I already donate my blood to the blood bank last Tuesday. Go find it there!" He kicks Morbius to a ray of light shining a spot on the shrine, weakening him out of his Xeno Mode.
"The light…" Morbius moans in pain, trying to cover himself from the bright light.
"Don't like the light, huh? Should've stayed indoors." Classic Sonic quipped, attacking Morbius with a spin attack.
"RRRAAAAGH!" Meanwhile, Walhart strikes Miguel's sides with his dark lance.
Miguel growls, "Give me that!" He web yanks Sol out of Walhart's hands and breaks it into two. He web zips and dropkicks the stern conqueror in the chest, hopping straight to the air and web slams down right on top of him. "I'm gonna tear your armor like it's tissue paper!" Miguel claws off part of Walhart's armor bit by bit. He gets grabbed by the neck but was freed when M. Sonic triple spin kicks the conqueror's face.
"How are you overpowering me?! I am inexorable!" Walhart arrogantly said.
"Because behind all that armor and weapons, you're just an ordinary guy with an ego. Us…" Both Miguel and Sonic attack and defeat Walhart with a powerful, combined attack, "We're more than that."
"I will drain your blood, little one, and you'll turn into me." Morbius said as he flies around chasing C. Sonic.
"Vampire Sonic does sound pretty awesome. I'll pick up a costume for this year's Halloween!" C. Sonic quipped. The young hog leads Morbius to a web trap that bounces him to another ray of light to weaken him.
"Sorry to do this to ya, Michael. But you tried to suck my blood without permission and that's just not right." Peter joked and finishes Morbius with lightning-fast combos.
BGM End
BGM-Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 OST-Kami's Lookout
Both the Vampire and the Conqueror lie on the ground, unconscious and defeated before fading away. The heroes believe they've corrected the change in history but that isn't the case, not yet at least. A wormhole in time and space suddenly appear above the shrine, getting the heroes' immediate attention. "W-What?!" M. Sonic remarked. Descending from the portal is a humanoid woman with purple-gray skin, lavender eyes, scaly arms, and a black tattoo over her left eye. Her long, black hair has several teal snakes mixed in, with a single orange snake on the left side of her head. She wears a long, dark purple dress that blends into red at the bottom, with gold trimmings throughout and gold ornaments that matches a certain Goddess of Light's dress. She wields a two-pronged gold and blue staff with two snakes wrapped around it.
"No way…Medusa?" M. Sonic recognized the Goddess of Darkness from Pit's world. Medusa smiles as she confronts the heroes, turning on her corrupted Xeno-2 Mode with the face of the Time Eater on her forehead.
"Medusa shouldn't be in this time period!" Peter remarked in shock, avoiding the energy blasts evil snakehead lady fires at him and the others.
"Gaaah! Time Holes are becoming increasingly unstable! We need to take her down!" Miguel said, using his Decoys to avoid the energy wave slashes.
Xeno Medusa laughs, "Finally I get the chance to destroy Palutena's precious little helpers! You will not stop me!"
"This is getting nuts!" C. Sonic lunges at the god with a mighty spin attack but she teleported away before he reached her.
"That woman…She's not from here, is she?" Tiki asked Modern Sonic.
"Definitely not. Go hide with Tails. We'll finish this." He ordered the manakete, who does what she's told.
After teleporting away from another attack, Medusa smiles, only to lose it when her snake hair gets a webbing makeover from Peter, "Oho. That's a good look on you. Dashing. I know the perfect shampoo that'll help with that hair." Medusa growls as her powers vaporizes the webbing off her hair. She shoots numerous dark lightning bolts that Peter hops and leaps away from, but was soon grabbed in a dark bubble the dark goddess created. She proceeds to enjoy herself by repeatedly slamming Peter to various parts of the shrine before flinging him away.
She sees Miguel running to attack so she won't give him the chance. The second she swings her staff on him he created a Decoy to avoid damage, jumping over it and punches Medusa in the face. "You dare touch me, mortal!" She blasts Miguel but he ducked under it, quickly countering with a brutal web strike to the gut, sending her back a few feet.
"Hey, hey! Try to keep up, old hag!" C. Sonic taunted the god, working with his future self to blitz and disorient Medusa from all directions until she got tired of their games and unleashed an explosion that blows the two to the sky. That didn't stop them as they dive back down and bury her with a twin spin attack.
As she gets up from the crater that was formed, Peter web yanks her staff out of her hand, "Give that back!"
"Only because you demanded it!" Peter uppercuts Medusa to the air and follows with spectacular air combos using her staff. He throws the staff down to Miguel and kicks Medusa towards him so he could slam her head to the floor with her own staff. From the air, Peter attaches two weblines to hurl himself foot-stomping Medusa, forming an even bigger crater. With her weakened, Peter wraps her up in webbing and spins around a few times, "See ya later, Medusa! Remember to check out a barber!" He throws Medusa back through the wormhole she came out from, finally defeating her and correcting this timeline.
BGM End
"Looks like the timeline is stabilized. History is back to normal." Lyla confirmed as the Time Key appears in Peter's hand.
"Nice!" M. Sonic grinned as Tiki, the Tails, and the RWBY kids walk out of their hiding spot. "Tiki, you alright?"
"I'm fine. Thank you all for saving me. I expect nothing less from the heroes allied with the children of the Great Divine Spider." Tiki smiled, referring to the Spider-Men.
"Uh, what is she talking about?" Miguel asked Peter.
"Don't worry about it." Peter casually replied.
"I sense time is of the essence. The creature that has thrown our worlds into chaos is almost done completing its task. I pray, the four of you, are our only hope of survival." Tiki, now aware the timeline is thrown into a loop, said to Team SSSS.
"You can count on us, dragon girl." Classic Sonic smiles and gives her a thumbs up.
"Get some sleep, Tiki. Our past selves should be meeting up with you soon." Modern Sonic instructed her.
Tiki lets out a wide yawn and rubs her eyes, "I am pretty tired from all the trashing. I will get some sleep. Thank you, kind heroes." She lies down and immediately falls asleep just like in the original timeline. The heroes silently open a portal and exit this time period quietly so they won't wake her up.
White Space Manhattan, Triskelion
The heroes return to the Triskelion, with the base and it's highly-trained S.H.I.E.L.D. are restored back to normal, including Lissa, Vector, and Ren. "Haha. Awesome! You guys saved us! We knew you could do it!" Lissa said happily to her heroes.
"Are you guys alright?" Ren asked.
"We're fine. And it looks like S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fine too." Peter said.
"Got that right," A sudden Nick Fury accompanied by Maria Hill meets up with the heroes. "Good job restoring the Triskelion, but your mission ain't over." Fury told them.
"We know. We have to restore the last of Manhattan and put an end to that monster. Hopefully doing that will bring everybody back home." Modern Sonic said.
"You know, I've got a hunch someone or something is controlling that monster." Vector believed.
"You think so? That thing's a mindless beast." Miguel argued.
"If it's mindless, why is attacking just "our" worlds and not everything else. That thing has a goal, and I'm certain it involves destroying Sonic and Spider-Man and everyone related to them." Vector replied.
"Could that really be it?" Lissa wondered.
"You might be onto something, Vec. And if that's true, who's controlling it, and why attacking our history?" Peter asked.
"Could it be Kang the Conqueror? That guy will do anything to conquer all of time." Maria guessed.
"But why attack Sonic and Spider-Man specifically is the question," Fury replied, thinking it's not Kang behind this. He turns to the heroes, "It's up to you guys to solve this mystery and put a stop who's behind all of this."
"We're on it, Fury. Time Patrollers, we're moving out!" Peter and his time-traveling team race back to Avengers Mansion where the last Time Portal will be found.
