Issue 1: The Return of Divine Trouble
It's been a while since the first ever, interdimensional racing tournament, the DX World Grand Prix ended. All of the dimensions and their people have gone back to their daily lives, that includes the criminal underground, still working the day and night shift to give the police a headache with their underhand tactics. But recently, a new criminal organization have surfaced to turn New York City upside down.
Right now, inside a museum
"Get on your knees!" A man in a black-and-white business suit, wearing a demon-style mask, punks an innocent lady with his gun to the ground, where he and his other masked-wearing friends hold the entire museum hostage. "Let's keep this place secured until the boss is done. If any of them so as move a finger, shoot 'im." He ordered, guarding the hostages with his fellow thugs in case they do anything funny.
But unknown to the masked thugs, an amazing man in a spectacularly red-and-blue spider costume is watching their every move from a hidden wall above their eye sight. "Okay, I'm in position. How 'bout you guys?" Spider-Man quietly speaks to his team through their ear comms.
'We're set. The Demons have taken everyone hostage.' Weiss Schnee, also known as Ice Queen, whispered through communications.
'There's certainly a lot of them. Nothin' we can't handle.' That cocky sounding voice belonging to none other than Sonic the Hedgehog.
"We'll handle them after we save the hostages. Lucina, you ready?" Spidey asked the future warrior princess from an alternate dimension.
'Ready.' Lucina replied.
"Good. Alright team, you know what to do." Spidey leaps over on top of a protected artifact to get behind the two Demons watching a group of hostages. He quietly hops down to web up their heads so they won't scream, silently pinning them to the floor, all webbed up. The Web-Slinger senses an incoming thug approaching him. Thinking on his feet, he fires his small Tripwire gadget to a museum artifact he's walking pass. Once the Demon passed it sensors, the Tripwire activates, firing a web strand that pins the goon to the artifact, simultaneously knocking him out. Peter assures the hostages they'll be free as soon as he takes care of remaining goons.
Somewhere else in the large museum, the Inner Demons are using the building's high tech security to detect any unusual activity it can follow. Too bad for them, Sonic is too fast for the cameras to follow before he destroys them. With the cameras destroyed, Sonic quickly, and silently dispatches any goon watching over the hostages.
Using her glyphs like steps, Weiss walks above the another batch of Demons and the hostages their holding. She silently freezes the thugs before they could let out a breath.
Nearby, a lone Demon walks along a wall to make sure everything's in order. Behind him, however, a masked Lucina, now back in her "Marth" guise, easily knocks out another thug, then proceeds to karate chop the walking Demon in the neck. "That was too easy." She said, then slightly flinches when she hears someone reloading their gun behind her instead. "Okay. I spoke too soon." She quickly draws out her sword, the Falchion, to effortlessly deflect all the gun-fire from the Demon before non-lethally taking him down. Now aware there are heroes in the vicinity, the Demons have just gone into high alert and starts firing at the three other heroes.
BGM-The Amazing Spider-Man Game OST-Combat
"Spider-Man, they've noticed us." Lucina informed while dismantling a few Demons.
"Yeah. I heard the gunfire." Spidey casually replied while zipping pass the thugs, flinging them away with his strong webbing.
"Sorry!" Lucina apologized.
"That's okay. You're still new to the whole "superhero" thing. Just get the people out of here. We got things here." Spidey ordered while he's met up with Sonic and Ice Queen.
Lucina nods and turns to the freed hostages. "Follow me!" She said, running to the exit.
While Spider-Man avoids getting cut into several pieces by a Demon's high-tech electrified sword, he calls up Yuri Watanabe, Captain of the NYPD. "Yuri, this is Spidey. The hostages are freed. Marth should be coming out with them." He said, finding an opening to punch the masked goon in the mask.
'I see them. How about Mister Negative?' Watanabe asked the D-Avengers.
"He's still somewhere inside." Weiss replied while striking down a Demon with her rapier. "What does he want here anyway?"
'Sources say he's after the Tablet of Death and Entropy.' Yuri replied.
"Tablet of Death and Entropy?" Spidey repeated, juggling a goon in the air before smacking him hard to the floor. "It wouldn't be related to the Tablet of Life and Time, would it?" He asked the captain, remembering a few years ago he stopped a gang war over a tablet that grants youth and immortality to its wielders.
'You guessed it. If Mr. Negative gets a hold of that tablet, he's become the most dangerous man in the city.' Yuri said.
"Not on our watch he's not." Sonic plows through a row of Inner Demons using his speed, knocking them to their stomachs, then seconds later, they just walk back up acting like they didn't get hit by speedy projectile. "These Inner Demons guys are resilient fellas, aren't they?" Sonic smirked, then homing attacks them into submission.
Ice Queen combines her fire and Ice ISO-Dust to unleash a combined wave that blasts the Demons away. "They seemed to have been enhanced someway. Who's this Mr. Negative guy anyways?"
Spider-Man throws in a couple of punches onto one goon, then once he senses a few more arriving, he webs him up and tosses him on top of his scared friends. "Don't know. He and his gang are new to town, as far as I know anyways. Maybe he's one of those junior crime bosses entering the big leagues." He replied to Weiss, zipping over to the other side of the museum to kick a Demon's face in.
Lucina returns with her blade drawn out to her side and lets out a battle cry for her enemies to tremble before. "I'm here!" She announced her presence while striking down the Demons.
"Good! I'm going after Mr. Negative! Keep these guys busy!" Spidey ordered, then web swings deeper into the museum.
"More fun for me!" Sonic chuckled while he, Weiss, and Lucina have their fun with the Demons.
BGM End
The Chinese, negative skin-colored crimelord of the Inner Demons, Mr. Negative, calmly tugs on his white business suit as walks through the museum halls towards the large circular room where they keep the Tablet of Death and Entropy secured for display. "Ahhh, the Tablet of Death and Entropy." He speaks as he opens the glass case and picks up the dark stone. 'This will help me take this city without interruption. Finally, with this, the Kingpin's days are numbered."
BGM-Spider-Man: Edge of Time OST-Fighting Enemies
"If your grand plan is to smack him with that rock very hard, then you, sir, have not met Jolly McFatty." Spider-Man quips from a wall, grabbing Mr. Negative's attention.
"Spider-Man!" He shouted. While he's distracted, Spidey web yanks the tablet from his palms. "You fool! Give that back! NOW!" The negative crimelord fires darkforce energy as a beam to attack Spidey, but missed when he webbed swing away from harm.
"Maybe if you were a little less negative and a little more positive, I might reconsider." Spidey quipped while he continues to dodge the crime boss's destructive power. The second Peter lands on the ground, he is immediately sent flying through the museum's walls after getting punched by Mr. Negative's surprise superhuman strength, sending him back to the room with his friends. "Ow! Didn't know the Chinese could pack a wallop." He narrowly dodges Negative's enhanced blade and kicks him away to breath. "Sonic, catch!" He tosses the tablet to Sonic's hands.
"Thanks Spidey. Always wanted one of these." Sonic quipped. Mr. Negative switches focus onto Sonic, trying to blast him while he's moving all around the museum. He then predicts where Sonic's about to run to and blast the support of a giant model of a T-Rex skeleton to topple over the hedgehog. "Okay, never mind, you can have this, Ice Queen!" Sonic quickly tosses the tablet to Weiss before getting smooshed by the bony artifact.
"It's not the new phone tablet I wanted, but I appreciate the thought." Weiss quipped.
"Stop playing around! It's not a toy!" The annoyed crimeboss fires another blast that Weiss blocks with her glyph.
"I'm more responsible with it than you! Marth, here!" Weiss throws the tablet to Lucina's hands next.
"I got it!" Lucina replied after retrieving the ancient stone, but is quickly forced to block another beam from Mr. Negative with her sacred blade. His power soon proves too much for her, and is blasted to the ground along with the tablet.
"Now it's mine." As Mr. Negative's about to grab the tablet, Spider-Man yanks it from the floor.
"If you want it so badly, let me give it to ya!" Spidey spins the tablet around with his webbing and throws it right at Mr. Negative's face, destroying the relic into tiny pieces.
"NOO! The tablet!" Mr. Negative exclaimed, leaving him distracted for a straight kick from Spidey, flinging him through a sturdy wall. Moments later, Spidey and his team sees the negative crimelord all unconscious.
"Wow. You were the easiest crimelord I've ever taken down. Say cheese." Peter takes out his camera and to take a photo for the Daily Bugle.
BGM End
Later…Outside the museum
"What do you mean that was the Chameleon?!" Spidey asked Captain Watanabe right after the museum heist while the Master of Disguises himself, Chameleon, and the Inner Demons are arrested.
"Seems at the last minute, they switched places. Don't worry. We'll get him next time." Watanabe assured Spider-Man.
"At least the tablet thingy was destroyed." Sonic said to brighten up the mood.
"Agreed." Watanabe responded.
"Why was something that dangerous in a museum? Next thing you know, there'll be a tablet that controls reality up for display." Weiss joked.
Watanabe chuckled. "Yeah, that'll be the day. Good job today, Avengers." She praised the heroes for a job well done.
"Thank you, Captain." Lucina respectfully thanked the police captain as she walks away, waving good-bye. "So, uh, with that out of the way, Weiss, didn't you say we were going shopping today?" She smiled to her friend
"Oh right, I almost forgot! We better hurry. I know the perfect clothes that'll look good on you." Weiss happily replied.
"That's great. Spider-Man. Sonic. Do you two want to join?" Lucina asked the boys in the area.
"No, they're not." Weiss replied, sounding so serious.
"Huh? Why not?" Lucina asked, confused.
"These two don't DO shopping. They'll just make a mess." Weiss said, remembering during the last time she went shopping with them and how much of a disaster that was.
"Good. I wasn't planning on going anyways. I have a racing appointment with Quicksilver. We'll be running around the world three times today." Sonic replied with an annoyed look towards Weiss.
"And I have to turn in my pictures with Jameson before heading back to Avengers Mansion. I have a project that needs finishing. Maybe next time" Spidey explained his good reason why he's not joining the girls.
"Well, okay, I understand. Good luck." Lucina smiled, a bit sad she won't be hanging out with more of her friends but understands they can be very busy. She would know since she is the Exalt of her world now.
"See ya soon!" Sonic smiled as everyone went to do their own thing for today.
Inside Peter's Laboratory in Avengers Mansion
A few hours have passed and Peter has just finished his newest gadget. "And done. Ta-da! My brand-new Spider Orbitars!" He said, holding up two spider-themed orb objects in his hands. With a simple thought, the orbitars float by themselves to either side of the chuckling kid scientist. "I doubt anyone has thought of this."
'You'd be surprised then.' A very rough, but familiar voice echoes in Peter's lab. Seconds later, a deific, six-armed version of Spider-Man in his black suit slowly appears in the lab to show off his spider-like fangs and the white markings and red gems all over his body. "Nice little weapon you've built." He complimented his human other.
"Ero," Peter smiles to see The Other, a Spider-God, and his trusty partner, in the same room as him. "How's the meeting with the Council of Godheads?" He asked, referring to a loose committee consisting of Earth's pantheons of Gods, which includes the Great Spider-Totems like Ero.
"Boring to say the least. Madame Web did most of the talking in my behalf." Ero said.
"What did you guys talk about?" Peter asked him.
"Nothing too important. It was just a check up to see how the other gods are doing. We did have a little discussion about the Exo Stones though, and the trouble they've been causing with these recent world-ending disasters, but I told them we had them under control. And to my annoyance, we added a new member joining the council." Ero said, crossing his multiple arms.
"Really? Who is he?" Peter asked.
"SHE you mean, and she's no one important. Just a pathetic god from a backwater universe." Ero said, implying he has problems with this female god from another universe.
"I thought only our Earth gods joins the council?" Peter questioned.
"There are special exceptions though, like the Gods of Remnant I once told you about. Just wished it wasn't THIS person." Ero answered.
"You really don't like this woman." Peter said, noticing Ero's sudden annoyance with this female goddess.
"I don't like anyone from her universe, but that's not important. It's time we continue your training." Ero said.
"Aww man. Can we do it later?" Peter asked, not in the mood for training.
"NOW, Parker!"
"Okay, okay. Don't get all grouchy any more than you usually are." Peter joked, annoying his spider other.
Training Room
BGM-Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds OST-Training Room
In the underground training room of Avengers Mansion, Spider-Man meditates on a giant web to train deep within his psyche. In his mind, he faces off against Ero who has taken the form of a giant spider. "Now, shall we begin?" Ero asked Spider-Man.
"This is starting to feel like a tutorial session in a video game, but without Bruce Campbell as the guide." Spidey said.
"Focus Parker! I'm about to teach you one of the Great Weaver's signature technique that he couldn't master, but I'm confident you can complete his work." Ero said.
"Why? Is it because I'm his reincarnation, or Avatar or whatever?" Peter asked if being the Avatar of the Great Weaver might have to do with perfecting this ancient technique.
"Part of it, yes, but because of achieving the rare divine state, Perfect Synchro, and the enhancements Naga gave to your Aura, it should be possible for you to master the technique. Now, start enhancing your Aura. Wrap it around your whole body as if you're being encased in your own web." Ero instructed the young Spider-Totem.
"If you say so." As instructed, Peter closes his eyes and starts focusing his whole purple aura around his body. Tiny flames slowly start to flicker on several parts of his costume, then finally, in a quick flash, Peter's whole body is shrouded in light purple energy, constantly radiating flickering flames with specks of green, red markings and blue gems on certain parts of his new look, and the spider symbol on both his chest and back are smaller and turned black. Peter opens his eyes, revealing his slightly majestic azure lenses. "Whoa…I feel…weird." He said, with his voice sounding much cooler, more calm and collected than his usual tone of voice.
"Excellent. You have unlocked "Aura Arachnid Mode." This is your own unique spider transformation, multiplying all of your natural abilities without the needed of finalizing. This is the result of mastering your OWN power." Ero complimented Peter of completely a form his previous incarnation could not.
"This is much better than the black suit. WAY much better." Spidey said, comparing this awesome new spider form to the terrible body-consuming symbiote he once bonded with.
"Indeed."
"But I'm starting to feel like those OP anime characters with so many different transformations and hair styles." Peter joked.
"Oh please. Your friends with mortals that does the same thing. This isn't completely out of the ordinary." Ero said.
"Good point. In fact, don't you think the two of us are like that ninja kid with the demon fox inside him. What was his name again?" Spidey tries to remember the name of a certain anime involving some ninja kid but can't remember off top of his head.
"Who cares! Now, let's test out your power?" Ero instructed to test Spidey's Aura Arachnid Mode. Moving so fast that it looks like he's teleporting, Spidey appears above Ero producing large aura arms, attacking the Great Totem with enormous barrages of punches and kicks. He summons his energy spider legs to strike at the giant spider, then uses them to form four Kumodama energy balls that unleashes a giant explosion across his mind. "Impressive. Your spider-strength and speed has improved to new heights. How 'bout your spider-instincts?" It was Ero's turn to attack, stretching his many legs to take a stab at Peter, but in his new mode of his enhancing his Spider-Sense to its absolute maximum, he's able to automatically and instantly dodge every attack flawlessly, countering with tremendous force. "As I figured. When a Spider-Totem mastered Perfect Synchro, their natural instincts improve so greatly, their body automatically reacts to any threat without acknowledgement, truly making you untouchable."
"I remember when I had used to have simple spider powers. I wonder how my fanbase are gonna react?" Spidey wondered in a meta sense how his fans would react to these new powers of his.
"Who cares what they think. The moment you first visited Remnant and unlocked your Aura, they should expect this sort of weirdness. Your special aura grants you a plethora of new spider-like abilities. They should get over it." Ero replied.
"This is truly a lot of power. How long can I hold this form?" Spidey asked.
"Since you're a mortal utilizing a divine technique, a few minutes at most before your body breaks down. But with enough training, you can eventually overcome that limitation. This is necessary, as I won't ALWAYS help you in your battles." Ero instructed, saying that there won't be times they're able to finalize to fuse together to form Black Ace or Red Joker, like what happened during Spider-Island.
"I have been doing a good job at it before you came along." Spidey coolly replied as he can certainly take care of himself without Ero's help all the time.
"Hmph. I'm aware of that." Ero said.
With a quick switch of the mind, Spider-Man turns off his Aura Arachnid Mode, returning back to his basic colors and tone of voice. "Thanks, Ero. I honestly don't mind getting these new spider-like powers. If it helps protect my love ones, I'm all for it. Now where are my cosmic powers?"
"In another universe."
"Aw man."
"Trust me. This is much better than becoming "Captain Universe"."
"I kinda doubt that."
"Oh shut up."
Outside his mind, Spider-Man quickly wakes up in the training room after getting interrupted by the mansion's AI, J.A.R.V.I.S. calling for him. 'Spider-Man. I am here to inform you the Exo-Radar has located another Exo Stone.'
"That's great. Call the others. Tell them it's time to assemble in the meeting room." Spidey ordered as he swings out of the room.
'As you wish, sir.'
Later…In the Meeting Room
BGM-Ultimate Spider-Man Game OST-"Spider-Man Hero"
Sonic, Weiss, and Lucina arrive in the meeting room where Spider-Man patiently waited for them. "Alright! Another adventure! I'm all pumped up!" Sonic grinned with joy for another exciting adventure in another world.
"Hey Peter. I bought you a new shirt. Hope you don't mind." Lucina kindly hands Peter a bizarre shirt filled with disorganized stripes.
"Oh…you shouldn't have." Peter kindly accepted her very weird gift.
"So you found another Exo Stone?" Weiss asked the web-slinging leader.
"Yeah, in Earth-26435." Spidey answered. Inside his mind, however, Ero perks up once he heard the name of the dimension they'll be traveling and groans, hinting he knows about this world and doesn't exactly like it.
"What are we waiting for? Let's get going!" Sonic said, putting up a smiling thumbs up.
"Shouldn't we wait for the others before we leave?" Lucina questioned about their other teammates like Ruby and Tails.
"They're all busy with their own thing at the moment: Tails is with working with Tony on some projects at Stark Enterprises Headquarters in California. Knuckles is doing his job guarding the Master Emerald. Ruby and Yang are with Captain Marvel in another galaxy. And Blake's assisting Charles Xavier with young mutants at the institute. It'll be just us for the next few days." Spidey answered while setting in the coordinates in his dimensional travel watch for their destination.
Lucina frowns, "That's a shame. I was hoping all of us would be together for this mission, just in case things go bad."
"Maybe next time. We can handle this." Sonic smiled to cheer up Lucina.
"Right. Say that again when we're facing a doomsday monster." Weiss said with a deadpan stare.
"Sure." Sonic replied, annoying Weiss but getting a cute giggle from Lucina.
"Got it." Spidey said after locating their destination. He puts up his Webware for activate a stable blue portal that'll send them to an alternate dimension. "Hope your ready guys. Here we go!" The four D-Avengers walk through the portal, off to an exciting, yet perilous journey that might prove too much for simple mortals.
BGM End
Earth-26435
Excited loud footsteps can be heard when a young angel with fluffy, brown hair and a white outfit where his wings can be seen from his back. The gleeful little angel holds onto his blade as he rushes towards the door and says, "Sorry to keep you waiting," as he leaps out through the door and starts flying through the air of the beautiful sky.
BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-The Return of Palutena
"It's been too long, Lady Palutena!" The angel said.
'We can chat later, Pit. But now it's time to fight! The Underworld Army's invading!' The majestic woman known as Palutena speaks to Pit via telepathy.
Then right before Pit's sights, a single one-eyed round monster called a Monoeye shows up. "Whoa! You weren't kidding!" He exclaimed. Pit flies around the incoming Monoeyes and easily destroys them with rapid-fire shots from his blade. "If there are Underworld troops, are you saying Medusa's been…"
'Resurrected. Yes.' Palutena answered Pit's darkest fears. 'Though the goddess of darkness was defeated long ago, she's back now. And as the goddess of light, it's my duty to protect humanity from her.'
"Eh, you worry too much!" Pit said after destroying a Gyrazer. After finishing off a few more Underworld troops, something, or someone emerges from beneath the clouds as the sky turns red, revealing to be a large projection of the Goddess of Darkness herself, Medusa. "Medusa!" Pit shouted at his long-thought dead adversary.
"HELLO THERE, PIT. AND YOU TOO, PALUTENA. HERE TO CRASH MY HOMECOMING PARTY?" Medusa asked her hated enemies.
'Uh... This really doesn't look like much of a party...' Palutena replied.
"WHAT BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE MY RETURN THAN WITH A FESTIVE LITTLE BLOODBATH? AFTER ALL, I HAVE BEEN GONE FOR 25 YEARS." Medusa soon disappears and the sky returns to normal.
Pit notices the Underworld Army retreating to the surface. "They're moving their attack to the ground!"
'Then so are we!' Palutena directs Pit through the clouds towards the surface while he's focusing destroying the incoming eye monsters.
"I can't believe I'm actually flying!" Pit said happily.
'The power of flight is my gift to you. I'll control your route so you can focus on battle. But I can only maintain this power for five minutes at a time. After that, your wings will burn up, and you'll fall.' Palutena explained.
"You have no idea how embarrassing it is to be an angel who can't fly on his own. So thanks for your help. Without you, I'd be finished!" Pit returns his attention destroying more Underworld hamsters, finishing a good chunk of them with a charge shot. While that's happening, Palutena senses a strange presence entering her world.
'What is this?' She wondered.
"What's wrong, Lady Palutena?" Pit asked.
'I'm sensing a godlike presence entering this world. Two in fact.' Palutena answered.
"Two?! Are they friend or foe?" Pit asked, looking a little worried.
'No, I don't think so. Strange. It's like a two-in-one package. One of them feels AWFULLY familiar. But this second one? I dunno. It FEELS godlike, but at the same time it's not, it feels faint.' Palutena replied.
"What does that mean?" Pit asked, confused.
'Hold on. They should be at your incoming destination.' Palutena said.
After taking care of more flying monsters, Pit flies past some hills and spots a town being attacked from the distance. Pit gasps at the horror the Underworld Army are causing, "Now they're attacking the town? This isn't right!"
'The people need your help. I'd better get you over there.' Palutena sends Pit flying over the town and the two hears the distant sound of people cheering.
"Do you hear that? Do you hear the people's cheers? They're celebrating the return of the goddess Palutena!" Pit said all cheerful.
'Despite the Underworld invasion, the people haven't lost hope. It's our duty to protect them. Prepare for land battle, Pit. Make sure to locate those two individuals. Something tells me I'll be reunited with an old friend.' Palutena smiled as Pit flies down toward his landing destination.
BGM End
A few minutes earlier at that First Town
Before the Underworld invasion, the townspeople are enjoying their peace. Up on a nearby rooftop, a portal opens up, and out comes the four heroic D-Avengers from different dimensions. "Alright. We're here." Spidey said as the portal closes behind him.
"Whoa. Where are we?" Weiss asked while looking down at the town and the happy people.
"I don't know. It kinda reminds me of home." Lucina smiled as her home in Ylisse isn't too different from the looks of this town.
'That's great. Now let's hurry up and find the blasted stone! The sooner we do; the sooner we can leave this pitiful dimension.' Ero telepathically said, not sounding very happy but really serious, much to the confusion of his mortal allies.
"Boy. Someone's grouchy." Sonic joked.
"What's wrong, Ero. Don't tell me there's another ancient rival I need to fight?" Spider-Man asked as their last adventure involving fighting a dragon god that repeatedly fought Ero a couple times in the past.
'Something like that.' Ero implicitly said, annoying Peter. 'If you don't like it here, we can always go home.'
"But we need to find the Exo Stone before the Masters of Evil or someone else finds it first." Weiss reminded the spider god of their mission that could decide the fate of the world.
Ero growls as he knows she's right. 'I'm almost tempted to allow the villains to take the stone.'
"You really don't like this place, do you?" Spidey asked him.
'No! Stop wasting time and find that troublesome stone!' Ero angrily ordered the heroes.
"What do you think I've been trying to do!" Spider-Man retorted as he's been busy locating the Exo Stone's location using his Webware's holographic radar.
"What seems to be the problem?" Lucina asked the web-slinger.
"Something's jamming the radar. There's like a…weird form of energy signature all around the area interfering with my sensors. I can't pinpoint the stone's location." Spidey answered. Suddenly, his spider-senses tingles to immediate danger approaching.
BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-That First Town
"I think I know why!" Weiss points to the Underworld Army invading the town, destroying everything in sights, causing the people to scurry for their lives.
"What are those things?" Peter asked.
'The Underworld Army.' Ero answered, knowledgeable of the threat.
"You fought these things before?" Sonic asked as the heroes hurriedly hops down to help cease the chaos.
'I've heard of them. Seems that the gods are locked in another war of destruction.' Ero said.
"Gods?" Spidey responded while zipping over to give a Skuttler a quick two-punch kick, then forms a hammer made out of webbed up concrete to sweep away the dozen Keron.
Sonic hops into the air to successively spin attack the Monoeyes before landing on the ground to roll under the skeleton eyes Ganewmede. Weiss blitz her rapier through the green monster Miks, thrusting her weapon into the air to summon a powerful lightning storm that toasts the Gyrazer. Lucina slices up a giant Nettler, back-flipping over another Skuttler and stabs through its icky chest.
Spidey was in the middle of webbing up a few Shemum until he senses a few townsfolk about to be crushed by a massive mechanical tank called a Crawler. "Hold on!" Spidey quickly web zips over the machine to find its weak spot. The second he located the heart on its backside, Spidey enhances his right fist with his aura to smash through it, instantly destroying the tank and saving the people's lives.
"Thank you. Are you an angel that serves our goddess?" A grateful townsman asked Peter.
"Do I look like an angel? I'm your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. I don't work with any gods, except Thor sometimes." Peter replied. "Anyways, all of you go find a safe place to hide. We'll handle things here." He instructed the townsfolk to escape from the premise. He turns back to his friends. "We'll split up! Go find anyone that needs help!" He instructed as he swings along with Lucina to another location, leaving just Sonic and Weiss.
"Are you sure you can keep up with me?" Sonic asked the heiress.
"I've been doing it these past few months!" Weiss angrily retorted to the hedgehog.
"If you can't keep up, join them." Sonic said after patting her in the back then runs ahead.
"One of these days, I'm gonna knock you out. Seriously." Weiss said annoyed, then hurries up to join the hedgehog.
At the town's center, Spider-Man and Lucina easily overcome the Underworld Army all while protecting the people of the town. Lucina cuts through a Keron and leads a mother and her daughter to a safe zone. "Hide! We'll take it from here!" She quickly turned for a downward slash on a Wave Angler. She meets up with Spidey, who's using his new Spider Orbitars in combat. "What are those?" She questioned the floating spider orbs.
"They're my new Spider Orbitars. They're like satellites that follow me wherever I go, capable of targeting multiple enemies at once and fires either webbing or energy blasts." Spidey dauntlessly uppercuts a Nettler into mid-air and follows it with a simultaneous barrage of arachnid-speed punches while his orbitars blast it to hell with energy blasts, and once it's worn down, Peter dive kicks the giant slug to its defeat. "Everyone's clear in the area?" He asked Lucina about the townsfolk.
"Yeah, and it seems the Underworld Army are dwindling." Lucina replied.
"Good." Peter nodded, but then his head tingles to a swarm of Mik about to gobble him up. "Uh-oh." Spidey prepared to jump out of the way but there was no need, as he was saved by a young angel and his rapid-firing gunblade, destroying the Miks with ease.
"Don't worry, folks! Pit is here to save the day!" Pit shouted as he runs bravely into the danger zone.
"An angel?" Lucina stunningly responded.
"That packs heat? Now I've seen everything." Spidey quipped, surprised to seeing a holy angel holding a gun.
Pit gives a Skuttler a backflip kick before throwing a grenade he found that destroys it and the swarming Shemum, "Here you go!" The young angel impressively combos a few Gyrazer out of the area, then when fully charged, fires a large shot that demolishes a Wave Angler. "Oh yeah! Take THAT, Underworld scum!" He cockily said and would've eaten those words from a large Nettler if Spider-Man didn't quickly dive kick it in the eye and web throws it for Lucina to cut into two.
BGM End
"Whoa. Thanks you two. Y'know, you're pretty strong for humans." Pit said to Spidey and Lucina.
"I feel we should be insulted by that." Peter replied to be treated unfairly because he's human.
Pit sheepishly smiles. "Right. Sorry. My name is Pit, servant of the goddess of light." He introduced himself to the D-Avengers.
"I'm Spider-Man, and this is my beautiful sidekick, Lucina." Spidey joked.
"I thought I was your teammate?" Lucina questioned, missing the fact he was joking, something Spidey's famous for.
"I was joking. We really need to work on your humor. But yeah, we're part of a team, the D-Avengers. If Weiss was here, she would complain about the name." Spider-Man said to Pit.
"The D-Avengers? Wow, that sounds pretty awesome. But why does Lucina remind me so much of Marth?" Pit questioned, surprising Lucina that this angel knows of the Hero-King of her world.
"How do you know the Hero-King?" Lucina asked him.
"Oh. I fought him in the Smash Bros. Tournament a while back." Pit casually answered.
"Yeah, we've heard of it." Spidey said, remembering that Sonic once joined the same tournament too, thinking to himself that he must've met Pit as well.
Before they could do anything else, Pit gets a telepathic call from his goddess. "Hold on a sec. Lady Palutena's talking to me inside my head." He told the heroes.
"I know that feeling." Peter joked, irritating Ero inside his head.
For the next few seconds, Peter and Lucina just stand there watching Pit talk to himself. The two look at each other with a confused face for a bit before Pit finishes up with the goddess. "Sorry about that. Spider-Man. You wouldn't have someone called "The Other" living inside you, right?" He asked the Other's human host.
"Uhhhh…maybeee…" Peter carefully replied, not knowing if he should really tell the truth or not to an angel he just met. But that doesn't mean anything anymore as his Spider-Sense triggers to another dangerous threat approaching. "Ugh. Spider-Sense just picked up something mad and ferocious." Together, the three united heroes notice the sky turn death red as a massive fireball crashes inside the coliseum with a monstrous sound.
"Wh-What was that?" Lucina asked.
"According the Lady Palutena, Medusa unleashed an evil beast in the coliseum!" Pit answered.
"Medusa?! From the Greek myths? I didn't know she was real." Spidey said as they towards the coliseum, fighting more monsters along the way.
"She's VERY real. 25 years ago she almost destroyed the world, but I stopped her. And now, she's back to destroy all of humanity." Pit said while destroying a Mik.
"Can't let that happen, can we?" Peter replied, then gets a call through his ear comms. "Hold on. Gotta answer this." He picks up the call while easily fighting a couple Keron and Ganewmede on his own. "Alright. We're almost there." He hangs up and turns to Lucina and Pit. "Sonic and Weiss are already in the colosseum fighting some fire dog thing."
"Sonic?! You mean Sonic the Hedgehog?! You know him?!" Pit asked about his fellow smasher.
"Yeah! Good friends! Likes to go fast! C'mon! We should hurry!" Spidey swings into the coliseum with his two friends running along.
Town Colosseum
"Way too slow! C'mon! Step it up!" Sonic smirkingly taunts the large, flaming two-headed dog chasing him throughout the coliseum. As the hedgehog leaps away from its fire breath, Weiss jumps in for a strike. The fire dog quickly attacked Weiss before she could make a move, flinging her to airborne Sonic, knocking both of the heroic teenagers to the ground.
"Hey Pluto! Old Spidey's gonna teach you some new tricks! Now play dead!" Spidey swings over and kicks the flaming dog in one of its two heads to the stands, just as Lucina and Pit shows up.
"Weiss! Sonic! Are you alright?" Lucina asked about her friends' well-being.
"We're fine, Lucina." Weiss replied.
Sonic gets up on his feet, only to be surprised to see his old pal, Pit standing right next to him. "Pit? What are you doing here?" He asked the angel.
"I could say the same thing about you." Pit replied as Spider-Man lands in front of his team.
"You can have a reunion later!" Spidey said as they see the fire dog back on its multiple feet, roaring at his meaty human lunches. "Avengers! Assemble!" He shouted as the heroes get ready for battle.

The Avengers and Pit scatter across the coliseum to give the fire dog multiple targets to focus on and attack on their own. "Alright, Pitty, what can you tell us about your pet?" Spidey asked while avoiding the dog's large claws.
"Twinbellows is not my pet! He's the Underworld's flaming watchdog!" Pit answered while firing a charge shot at the two-headed dog.
Twinbellows destroys a piece of the coliseum, causing the debris to almost fall onto Lucina if she didn't dodge in time. "Spider-Man, do we have a strategy?"
"Obviously, fire's bad, so let's focus on long-ranged attacks!" Spidey quickly swings over to rescue Lucina from getting burned by Twinbellows's fireballs. He gives Lucina his Spider Orbitars. "Here! It'll help you out!" He said. The Exalt princess commands the orbitars to fire multiple homing energy shots that hurt the large dog.
Sonic breezes over the flame dog's fire breath while activating the Flame Shield power-up from his Skill Bracelet, granting him protection from his flames. "You know what they always say: Fight fire with fire!" Sonic grinned.
"You sure that won't give it a power boost?" Pit asked, thinking that Twinbellows might get stronger if he's attacked by Sonic's flame shield.
"One way to find out!" Sonic smirked before performing a flaming mid-air dash that damage the flame dog.
"You haven't changed a bit." Pit sighed to see Sonic's cocky attitude hasn't changed since their last meeting.
The roaring Twinbellows starts to lose its cool, repeatedly firing multiple fireballs to destroy the heroes and the coliseum as well. Spidey jumps over the flame balls and counters with his new Aqua Webbing, firing a barrage of water-based web bullets that dozes some of the flames off the fire dog, but he realizes they'll need a bigger storm, so he turns to Weiss. "Weiss, bring down the rain!" He implicitly said, but Weiss understood what he meant.
"You want rain? I'll give you rain!" With her Unstable Molecule costume, she transforms into the stylish blue AquaCustom Style Change, and with the use of a large glyph floating above Twinbellows, she unleashes a powerful rain that dozes most of its flames off.
"Alright!" Pit fist-pumped.
"Good job. Now let me finish this. I want to try out my new technique." Spidey said to Weiss.
"Be my guest." Weiss smirked at him.
"Time to permanently doze you out, Twinbellows! Aura Arachnid Mode!" Spidey instantly transforms into the flaming purple spider-mode he was recently taught, amazing his friends with his new power, including Palutena who's watching from her home. "It's over." Spidey calmly said, summoning giant aura arms from his body, large enough to grab the weakened Twinbellows and throws him into the air, above the coliseum. Mini seconds later, Aura Spider-Man is already above Twinbellows for a large smackdown that sends right back down to the coliseum, pinning the dog with his webbing. Still up high in the air, Peter creates a large, green energy sphere, which is quickly surrounded by three regular-sized energy sphere, similar to a moon around a planet. He gets in position, and flings himself back to the coliseum with his new attack. "Planetary Kumodama!" Spidey shouted as he strikes Twinbellows in the stomach. The disordered rotation of the individual Kumodama, created by the central and smaller ones spins in different directions, interact with each other to form a gigantic explosion that completely disintegrates the howling Twinbellows.

"Yeah! That was awesome!" Pit said, making a small hop of joy and victory as the sky returns to normal.
"That was sweet. Ero taught you that one?" Sonic asked Spidey as he deforms back to normal.
"Yup. Pretty crazy." Spidey said, but then his spider-sense triggers to an even greater threat than Twinbellows. Towards the clear skies, a large projection of Medusa reappears.
"Who's that?" Weiss asked.
"It must be Medusa." Lucina replied while glaring at the villain goddess.
"Medusa?" Sonic repeated.
"Listen well, Medusa! Your days of darkness are numbered. Prepare to meet the light!" Pit declared to the Goddess of Darkness.
"Hopefully we can shed some light on that terrible hairstyle of yours! I mean, WHEW, I knew you were ugly, but MAN, I am impressed!" Spidey bravely mocked the Dark Goddess, making her very angry that a mortal dare to taunt her.
"YOU "DARE" TAUNT ME, MORTAL BUG! I'LL MAKE SURE "YOU'RE" THE FIRST TO DIE BY MY HAND!" Medusa coldly threatened Spider-Man.
"No need! Your figure is already killing me!" Spidey replied, angering Medusa to even greater heights.
"WHY YOU LITTLE…" Medusa pauses for a second, as she takes another look at Spider-Man, or more importantly his soul. She senses something, that someone else inhabits his body. And to her great horror, she sensed a destructive presence deep within his soul, forcing her to take a few steps away from Spider-Man. "I-IT CAN'T BE…T-THE OTHER?! WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?! ALL TROOPS, FALL BACK! WE'RE DONE FOR THE DAY!" Medusa sounded scared of Ero, confusing the D-Avengers of why she is. "YOU HAVE BEEN SPARED, MORTALS, BUT I PROMISE YOU THE NEXT TIME WE MEET, I WON'T BE SO NICE!" And with that cliché closing line, Medusa disappears.
"Wow. That was weird. You certainly have a way with the ladies, don't you Ero?" Peter joked with his spider spirit.
'Hmph. You have no idea.' Ero stoically replied.
Next to Pit, a pillar of light appears. "Hey guys. Follow me. We can take this back to Skyworld." He said to his new friends.
"Skyward?" Weiss questioned the name.
"Yeah. You'll love it there! C'mon! You'll love Lady Palutena!" Pit directs everyone to get whisked away by the light, leaving just Spidey as last.
'Do we really have to go?' Ero asked him.
"What is your deal?!" Peter asked, really curious why Ero's bene hating on this world ever since they arrived.
'You'll learn soon enough, and why I despise the gods of this world.' Ero ominously said before Peter gets whisked away by the vanishing light.

Spider-Man: Hey, it's Spider-Man. Whoa. So you're this Palutena person we kept hearing about. Nice to meet ya. Huh? Ero, what's your problem with Palutena? Did you guys break up or something? Argue later. We're on a mission here: To go take down a Dark Lord hiding in his castle. Are we sure we're not entering final boss territory?
Next time on D-Avengers: God Mission

Spider-Man: This Magnus guy sounds like a calm Hulk. Why is that?
KFX Here: First chapter is finally done. 30 pages. That's how long this was on Microsoft Word. I will say this again: Spidey, Weiss, Sonic, and Lucina are the only D-Avengers in the story. Honestly, I've been overwhelmed handling so many characters recently, as evident with The Fell Awakening and Transdimensional Racing. Trying to ease off the pressure. Now for a quick description of Spider-Man's new mode: Aura Arachnid:
Spider-Man (Aura Arachnid Mode)-
-A heightened divine transformation unique to the Avatar of the Great Weaver who has mastered Perfect Synchro, aka Spider-Man
-Multiplies all of Spider-Man's skills to new heights by at least 40 times. Think of it as a greatly enhanced Black Suit, or similar to Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode from Naruto Shippuden, which was the inspiration for the form
-Unlike Black Ace or Red Joker that requires fusing with Ero, Spider-Man can access this form on his own. Still weaker than either finalized form
-Has a link and can absorb and manipulate natural energy from the atmosphere and terrain
-Spider-Senses and natural instincts has been enhanced to point of turning Spider-Man untouchable
-Lasts about five minutes before body breaks down, severely leaving the user weakened
If you have a problem with Spider-Man gaining a new godlike power like this, this isn't anything new for the Marvel Universe. If you're not aware, in the comics, Peter DID gain god powers, a cosmic variation in the form of Captain Universe. Or how about Iron Man piloting a large battle suit called the GODKILLER Armor (MK II version) to battle the Celestials, SPACE GODS. And those are just a few examples. In this story, stuff like Black Ace or this new Aura Arachnid Mode is TAMED compared to how WEIRD the actual Marvel Universe can be.
