Issue 15: Clash at Lightning Speed
Deep Space
BGM-Sonic Adventure 2 OST-Highway in The Sky (Final Rush)
Hundreds of light-years far from the Pit's world, a huge space battle has caught the attention of the cosmos. Hundreds of weirdly blue battleships unleash all of their weapons on a single, strange blue, mechanical entity covered in a chaotic blue aura flying at light speed towards the whole fleet.
The entity, revealed to be Neo Metal Sonic chuckles as he easily dodges all of the lasers aimed on him. "Pathetic." He said, as his simply plows through dozens of battleships, destroying them in the process as he makes his way to the heavily-armed, yet seemingly incomplete-looking massive fortress dispersing its whole army.
Many weird, white geometric-shaped aliens try to destroy Metal as he gets closer to the core of the fortress, but he easily disposes them without batting an eye.
BGM End
And with a powerful spin dash that drills through the alien walls, the metal monstrosity flies into a white technological room that houses a large core, the "brain" behind this technological alien race. "According to my readings, this core shares the same technology as the cube the old man gave me. This must be it." Metal said, almost done completing his current objective, now he sees to fully complete it. He slowly hovers to touch the large core and begins hacking it to gain control over the whole army, but the second he interfaces with it, the core fights back and tries to take control of Metal. "Trying to take control over me?" He grunted as he feels himself losing control, slowly turning into one of these hostile aliens, but he surprisingly laughs it off as he continues to push through. "You're going to have a hard time doing that, my friend. I may be a machine, but my will surpasses all life. Allow me to give you a proper demonstration!" He opens up his chest reactor, revealing the immensely powerful light-blue Exo CHAOS Stone the Masters of Evil possess and has apparently entrusted to him. With the chaotic power of the Exo Stone, Metal Sonic completely turns the tables on this alien core and bends it and the whole army to his own will, turning the white core into a menacing blue color to his likening. Neo Metal laughs sinisterly as he knows has full control over these techno aliens. "This will certainly surprise everyone. Now to do a little remodeling." Metal said ominously, waving his hand to reshape the fortress to how he sees fit.
Meanwhile, back on Pit's World
The D-Avengers and Pit rush to the door to begin today's mission. "What kind of crazy adventure are we gonna have today?" Spidey asked, and as soon as the door opens, "WHOA" they leap away from a beam that engulfed the room in flames. "Oh. That kind of crazy." He quipped casually as they leap through the door.
BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Lightning Battle
"Is the door busted?" Pit asked Palutena.
'The door is the least of our concerns. Hades and Loki has rejoined the fray.' Palutena replied as they spot various troops of the Underworld Army and Forces of Nature fighting each other through this stormy weather.
"Ah great." Weiss said sarcastically.
'My thoughts exactly. Now we have both their AND Viridi's forces wreaking havoc!' Palutena said.
'Be careful. They're out for blood, each other's and yours.' Ero warned.
"I like gaining attention." Sonic quipped, smiling as he homing attacks Shrips, Miks, and Nutskis while the others blast their way through the chaos.
"Who's leading the troops?" Spidey asked during his rapid-fire session against the Underworld.
'On the Underworld side, Hades has put Thanatos back into play as commander.' Palutena answered.
"Thanatos?! He's still alive?!" Pit exclaimed.
'Apparently.'
"He is the god of death. I imagine death doesn't mean much to the guy." Sonic said.
"And what about the Forces of Nature? Who's leading them?" Lucina asked while taking down a Paramush.
'A powerful commander by the name, Phosphora.' Ero answered.
"Phosphora? Who's that, and how crazy are they?" Spidey joked while in the middle of fighting against a squadron of Underworld troopers, until…
"Yes? You called?" A powerful, blond, female warrior zips in front of Spidey, easily taking care of the Underworld troops he was fighting with a single lightning strike, then quickly zips right in front of Peter's confused face.
"YOU'RE Phosphora? You're just a female version of Electro, only cuter." Spidey said, somewhat flirting with her.
Phosphora giggled, "How sweet."
"We're in the middle of something here! Can this wait?" Thanatos said as he flies past Spidey and continues fighting Phosphora as a glowing serpent-like dragon thing.
"So Thanatos was resurrected as…a glowworm?" Pit wondered.
'I think the look he's going for is more glow dragon.' Palutena said as they saw Phosphora and Thanatos power their energies so high, their clashes form powerful shockwaves, causing the winds to almost blow away the dimensional heroes.
"Talk about intense!" Sonic remarked while blocking the massive wind currents.
"This is crazy! Was this Electro guy ever this powerful?" Pit asked Spidey.
"Once or twice, usually through hacks!" Spidey answered. (Electro once used the ISO-8 to become extra powerful in *Spider-Man and Sonic the Hedgehog-Fate of Two Worlds Act 6*)
'It's the Underworld versus Nature, their commanders locked in fierce battle…I'm ready to pull you guys out of there if things get out of control.' Palutena said as the heroes continue pursuing after the clashing commanders.
"Still can't believe Thanatos is still alive. That guy was so annoying!" Weiss said.
'He's just as perky as ever I've noticed.' Palutena remarked.
"Well, that's only fair. I've been finished off a few times myself." Pit said.
'Hmm…Thanatos, Pandora, Hewdraw…Hades revived them all from the old days.' Palutena remarked as they see Thanatos flying away from a pursing Phosphora. 'It must have taken some work to bring them back.'
'With ISO-Norn Stones in his possession, anything is easy.' Ero said.
"But this is Thanatos's third time around!" Pit emphasized.
'Thanatos is a bit of a…special case.' Hades chimed into their conversation.
"Is it because he's the god of death?" Sonic asked as he already guessed it before.
'You guessed it, rathog, so he gets perks like evil powers and health insurance. And free soda.' Hades answered.
"Told ya!"
'Resurrected from the dead. That's some health insurance!' Palutena remarked.
"With free soda! I never get that when I come back to life. It's usually another punch in the face!" Spidey complained, yelping when the two lightning-fast commanders pass him, with Phosphora giving a quick wink to Spidey during the scuffle.
"Got to admit, they're fast!" Lucina remarked.
"Probably as fast as you, Sonic." Weiss smirked.
Sonic laughed before instantly giving her a deadpan glare and voice, "You must be joking."
"It must be all that free soda." Pit said.
"I knew it!"
'Lovely little Phosphora's no slouch in the fighting department, either.' Hades said, complimenting the lightning lady.
'Ugh, will you stop trying to butter up all the ladies? It's gross.' Palutena said in a disgusted tone.
'There's nothing wrong with compliments.' Viridi spoke up.
"Viridi! Where'd you come fro-?" Pit began before getting interrupted.
'But Commander Phosphora must also be respected for her power!' Viridi said.
"I'd like to see how she'd do against me." Spidey confidently said.
'You sure about that?' Viridi asked smugingly.
"Kid, I've been fighting a guy named Electro for years. I know all the ins and outs of these "living lightning bolts". A slightly more powerful and attractive one won't do me in." Spidey cockily replied.
"Uh, attractive?" Weiss questioned, raising an eyebrow when Peter found Phosphora "attractive."
'Anyway, just keep after Phosphora and Thanatos. It's great how they're wearing each other out like this. I mean, who knows? You may have to fight them both at the same time.' Palutena said while Phosphora and Thanatos clash and shock the heavens.
"I would love that challenge." Sonic smirked.
'Even so, we all know how THAT would end.' Viridi said with smug.
"With us winning?" Spidey quipped.
'NO! The complete opposite!' Viridi shouted.
'Almost makes you take pity on Pitty…possibly the D-Avengers but mostly Pitty.' Hades smiled.
"Gee, thanks for that…" Pit muttered. "By the way, where's you buddy, Loki?"
'He's out. Should be back in time for dinner.' Hades joked.
'That leaves me suspicious.' Palutena remarked as the battle between top commanders starts to cool down with Thanatos on the losing edge.
'Thannypoo, are you OK?' Hades asked.
"Oh, yes! I'm just peachy!" Thanatos yelled.
'He doesn't seem peachy…' Palutena noticed.
'That's because Phosphora combines the depeachifying power and speed of lightning.' Viridi boasted.
'This battle is over.' Ero stated, as he can clearly tell Phosphora won this fight before she struck the finishing attack on Thanatos.
"Finishing blow!" Phosphora declared her victory.
"Aaah! Farewell cryyyyyy!" Thanatos yelled as he turns back to normal and falls to his doom.
'Bravo! BraVO!' Viridi cheered.
"That was cool!" Sonic said.
"Don't you mean "electrifying"?" Spidey punned, making everyone but Sonic and Phosphora groan in disgust, including Hades, while Sonic and Phosphora laugh it off.
'Oh me oh my. Now whatever shall I do?' Hades wondered.
"She really brought the thunder!" Pit said as they flew after Phosphora.
'I said lightning, Pit! Sheesh, get it right!' Viridi scolded him.
'Whatever. We'll just keep fighting without someone out there giving orders.' Hades said.
'Are you saying it makes no difference whether your troops have a leader?' Palutena questioned.
'They're all idiots. Seriously. I don't even know if any of them have actual brains.' He replied.
"So where's Eleka?" Spidey asked.
"Who?" Pit asked.
"Phosphora." Spidey replied. "Hello? She's a female Electro. I would've called her "Elektra" but that name's already taken."
'She must be recharging after her battle with Thanatos.' Palutena believed. 'Now's your chance. Let's hit her before she fully recovers.'
"Good idea!" Pit responded.
'We may not have the best dental plan, but justice is on our side!' Palutena said.
"Remind me not to go to a dentist on Skyworld." Weiss muttered.
"Now it's OUR turn to bring the thunder!" Sonic exclaimed as they approach a whirling mass of clouds.
"Readings saying she's somewhere in those clouds." Spidey said after scanning the clouds.
'Persistent, aren't we?!' Phosphora asked as she calls in reinforcements from the clouds
"Spider-Persistent-Man is my full name." Spidey quipped as the heroes take care of the Nature troops.
"It is?" Both Pit and Lucina asked at the same time, causing Peter to groan at their stupidity.
'I'm going to open up a path through these storm clouds. Stay sharp!' Palutena said as she opens a tunnel through the thunder clouds.
"Thank you, Palutena!" Sonic said as they fly in and encounter many Forces of Nature troops, and on top it off, Phosphora shooting dozens of lightning bolts through the clouds.
"This is intense!" Lucina remarked, barely able to avoid all the incoming lightning bolts.
'Hold on as best as you can. Phosphora is definitely up this way.' Palutena said.
'Nope. There's nobody here.' Phosphora smiled.
"We can totally hear you!" Pit exclaimed as he barely avoids a shocking lightning bolt to the wings. "This is REALLY getting intense!"
"I got this!" Spidey quickly morphs his armor into the Gemini-Spider ISO form to absorb all the lightning and redirect it into a large electric blade. "Thunder Bolt Blade!" He shouted, striking the slashing the Nature troopers with powerful lightning strikes that shocks them into smithereens before deforming back to normal, leaving Phosphora impressed in his ability to manipulate lightning, while he's wearing his armor, of course.
'That's pretty impressive, Spider.' She said, flirting with the wall-crawler.
"There's more where that come from." Spidey replied.
"Spidey, stop flirting with her!" Weiss said.
"Who said I am?!" Spidey replied as they near the end of the tunnel.
'Almost there. Three…Two…One…You're out!' Palutena said as the Avengers arrive inside the quiet thunder cloud, spotting an ancient temple floating in its center.
"What's that over there?" Sonic asked.
'That's the Thunder Cloud Temple. It's been abandoned since ancient times.' Palutena answered.
'Here already? I didn't even have a chance to take a shower!' Phosphora joked.
"Too bad!" Pit said as they fly closer to the temple, but as they do, a blue beam is shot from it's top at the heroes, barely avoiding it.
"That was close." Lucina said.
'I guess she's not completely spent after her battle with Thanatos.' Palutena said.
'It's just one fight after another. Today is not my day. The fortune Mistress Viridi read me didn't paint a very good picture either.' Phosphora said.
"Wait…Viridi reads fortunes?" Pit wondered.
"Viridi can read?" Sonic joked.
'I wonder what other services she offers.' Palutena wondered.
"Maybe she has her own cooking show." Spidey quipped. "Anyways, hope you're ready, Eleka!"
'Looking forward to it!' Phosphora replied.
'Sending you in!' Palutena directs Pit to a landing zone in the temple, with the others following him from behind.
BGM End
Thunder Cloud Temple
BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Thunder Cloud Temple
Just as Pit lands, Spidey spins down with a spider landing of his own, taking off his armor as the rest of the crew show and walk forward. "Looks at this place. It's brimming with electricity." Spidey observed. "Phosphora must be powering it. We'll have to cut off the supply. In the meantime, don't get zapped." He instructed.
"Wah!"
Spidey turns around to see Pit's puffed-up hair after accidently touching an electrified pillar. Peter face-palmed, "What did I just say?"
"Sorry! Sorry!"
After taking down some Bladers and Nutskis, the team takes a ride on an electrified elevator. "There sure is a lot of electricity." Lucina noticed.
"Yeah. Good thing our suits are insulated." Spidey said, touching his well-made Advanced Suit.
"Thank you." Weiss thanked Peter for giving them insulated attire when he upgraded their suits. (*Peter gave Weiss and the other members of Team RWBY upgraded costumes in D-Avengers: Spider-Island DX Issue 3*)
"Lucky you. Should've made my sandals rubber." Pit muttered.
'It's not my fault you conduct electricity so well.' Phosphora giggled, joking around with Pit.
"We'll see who's laughing when we shut the power down." Pit declared as they move to another area with a crystal surrounded by a barrier and guarded by Forces of Nature troops.
"That looks to be one of the power supplies. Destroy it should make our lives easier." Spidey suggested as they start fighting the Nature troopers.
"You sure know your stuff about electricity." Pit said to Pete while blasting the floating acorns with his Sonic Cannon.
"I'm a science nerd, remember? It also helps I fought Electro that loves this kind of stunt, and Thor on the occasion." Spidey replied while spraying his enemies with webbing.
"Thor? You mean the God of Thunder of your world?" Pit remarked.
'Ooooo! So the little spider fought an all-powerful Thunder God.' Phosphora said.
"Fought? More like SURVIVE! Whenever we fight, it's usually through some misunderstanding, typically through mind-control or trickery. Thank you, Loki." Spidey said, blaming the trickery part on the god of tricksters. "Ah! I can still feel his hammer crushing my skull." Spidey replied, rubbing his head as he remembers the pain of his occasional fights with Thor.
'Still, it's not every day you survive a battle against a god of thunder. That just makes you more amazing.' Phosphora said as she continues to flirt with Spidey.
"That's one of the adjectives people like to describe me. Can you guess the other few?" Spidey quipped, flirting back.
'Maybe another time, webby.' Phosphora replied as Sonic destroys successfully destroys the crystal powering parts of the temple.
Sonic chuckled, "Alright!"
'That seemed to cut some of the power, so you can move forward now.' Palutena said.
'Whatever. It's no skin off my back.' Phosphora shrugged it off as they enter a room with a train car, supposedly transporting goodies.
"Is that a train car?" Pit wondered.
'There's something inside of it.' Palutena noticed.
"Is it a pay check? God knows I could really use one." Spidey asked.
'You do?' She joked as Peter growls. She chuckles, 'Break it open, and I'll move its contents near the exit for you to grab.' She said as the heroes did just that and received a few prizes for their efforts, none of them being cash for Peter, much to his sadness.
'Sure, go right on ahead.' Phosphora said.
"You're seriously not gonna put up a fight?" Sonic asked.
'What do I care? This isn't my place.' The lightning warrior replied.
"That does make sense." Sonic said.
'So you're basically squatting in this abandoned temple. Dignified.' Palutena said.
'Not squatting. Repurposing! Besides, I'll be out of here before too long.' Phosphora said.
"Why's that?" Pit asked.
'Because the free-spirited Phosphora isn't one to put down roots!' Viridi spoke up. '…Like a hobo. Anyway, I've been bust with the Underworld Army, so I've asked her to defeat you.'
"How cute, Ivy. It be interesting to see her try!" Spidey said.
'Ooh, what bluster! What bravado! I guess I can't back down now!' Phosphora flirted.
"Kinda hard to resist me, I know. Few ladies can barely take their eyes off of me." Spidey quipped.
"Haha!" Weiss laughed, believing the exact opposite.
"Oh, hush you."
BGM End
During their venture through this electrified temple, the heroic Avengers arrive in a large room, to be surprised when greeted by Loki and two of his returning Dark D-Avengers, Dark Weiss and Dark Lucina.
"Loki!" Pit exclaimed.
"It's you!" Lucina glared at her malicious counterpart.
"Long time no see, me. Have you changed the fate of your doom yet?" Dark Lucina slyly asked.
"Loki, not now. We have a date with Lightningtress upstairs." Spidey quipped.
'I didn't know we were going steady.' Phosphora joked.
"Don't mind me. It's just these two have been eager for some serious action for quite some time now, and I couldn't refuse their request, so I brought them here." Loki calmly answered.
"Yeah! This time your dead meat!" Dark Weiss said, laughing crazily.
"Says you!" Weiss retorted, flaunting her rapier outwards as she stands by Lucina's side. "You three go right ahead! We'll handle things here!"
"Hey, we're not stopping you! Let's go, guys!" Sonic said as the boy squad continues climbing the temple while Loki teleports away, leaving the girls to have another match with their doppelgangers.
BGM-Sonic X OST-Battle
The ice queen immediately goes to break the dark ice, clashing swift coordinated swings from her rapier while her dark counterpart manages to avoid almost all attacks, apart from a few. As Weiss swings her rapier horizontally, Dark Weiss jumps above it, but Weiss quickly counters by summoning a pillar of ice that sends shadow ice to the air.
"BURN!" Dark Weiss declared, summoning her glyphs to burn the ice while also attempting to burn Weiss as she runs away to avoid it. As soon as Dark Weiss landed, she incants a spell called, "Fangs of Farallah", summoning a sorcerous monster maw that almost bites Weiss out of existence, followed by summoning another glyph to rapidly attack Weiss with the "Daggers of Daveroth.
"By the Seven Rings of Raggadorr!" Weiss incanted, surrounding herself with seven energy rings that protects her from the mystical daggers. She then switches her rapier's ISO-Dust to produce electricity, stabbing the ground so it could ride all the way to shock her dark self, angering her as they continue to battle. (Weiss learned magic from Dr. Strange in *Spider-Man: Battle for Remnant Vol 3 Issue 11*)
It's not just the ice queens' battle that has quickly become intense. The two Lucinas are locked-head-to-heated in a vicious clash of swordplay, with neither warrior giving in to the other's clever maneuvers. The good Lucina almost cut the hair of her evil self before she ducked under the sword and kicked her across the room.
"Let me show you something good." Dark Lucina smiled. Her dark aura starts to simmer as it completely envelops her, changing her outfit to match that of a Great Lord with darker aesthetes, frightening Lucina with her dark promotion. "Dark Promotion. A little trick Master Loki granted me to match your Style Changes." She maliciously smiled as she carves a large beam slash through the ground, forcing Lucina to move out of the way.
As Lucina continues hopping over each dark sword slash, she quickly activates the green WoodShield Style Change of her suit, forming a shield to grind off a vertical beam slash then hops off the wall to bump Shadow Lucina in the face, bouncing her off the ground before safely landing on her feet next to Dark Weiss, with their good counterparts doing the same.
Both blade-wielding Avengers pant in exhaustion. "How long do you think this'll take…?" Weiss asked Lucina.
"…I don't know. 10. 15 minutes at most." Lucina replied.
"Too long. Let's make it 5." Weiss smiled.
"Got it." Lucina smirked as they return to battle against the Dark D-Avengers.
BGM End
Meanwhile…With Spidey, Sonic, and Pit
BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Thunder Cloud Temple
Confident Weiss and Lucina can easily defeat their dark clones, the boy squad of the D-Avengers continue their electrifying journey up the Thunder Cloud Temple, deactivating the power supply to the temple as they make their way to Phosphora.
A Flage tries to swipe at Pit, but the warrior angel rolled away to blast it to dust with his cannon, "Another one bites the dust!" He said with a fist-pump as they continue climbing the transparent walkway.
'Phosphora is busy recharging at the temple's center.' Palutena informed the male heroes.
"Got it." Sonic said, kicking a Bumpety Bomb to blow up in a Toxiecap's scared vicinity.
'You'll need to move fast and get to her before she's done.' Palutena said.
"Absolutely, Lady Palutena!" Pit replied.
'Absolutely, Lady Palutena!' Phosphora mocked. 'You're such a yes-man, Pit. Good thing you're so cute. Maybe not as cute as Spidey there though.'
"You're…you're not making fun of me now, are you?" Pit blushed.
Spidey laughed. "You're turning red." He said as he puts his hand on Pit's shoulder. "Don't worry, Cupid. You'll get used to this. She might turn into your own Black Cat."
"Who's that again?" Pit asked as they start rail-grinding.
"Long story short, she's a cat thief that has a thing for me. A lot of homicidal, beautiful women do. How am I such a magnet for these kinds of ladies?" Spidey asked an important question that'll never get answered until the end of time.
'Because you're so hot and handsome, with a brain the size of a continent.' Phosphora said to him.
"Your words shock my heart; I might be oozing with electricity." Spidey quipped, getting her giggle as they hop off the grind rail.
'Not to mention funny. I think I might be in love.'
"Him? Funny? Barely." Pit scoffed at the thought Spidey is funny, while Peter just laughs if off until Sonic walks up to his ear.
"Uh, Pete, bro-to-bro." Sonic whispered to Peter's ear. "Not saying it's wrong to flirt with other girls, but you do remember you have your own girlfriend, right? And what kind of temper she's packing?" He whispered, making Pete's eyes widen in fear as he imagines Yang, flaring in rage and flames, cracking her knuckles before crushing Peter to oblivion. "You must be SO glad she's not here." He smirked.
"Yeah…" Peter replied, still shaken in fear. He groaned, "I don't have luck with ladies now, do I?"
"Nope." Sonic smiled.
'What were you two talking about?' Palutena asked the boys about their secret conversation.
'Nothing I'm sure concerns you…ma'am.' Phosphora said.
Pit's eyes widen in fear as he can sense what's coming, "Uh-oh…"
Palutena's eye twitches. 'Did you just call me "ma'am"? Are you trying to start something? I've already tolerated Spider-Man calling me that EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.' She said directly at Peter, who just nervously laughs it off as he fights more Nature squadrons.
'You're right, I'm sorry. You're MUCH too young to be called "ma'am"." Phosphora replied.
'You know as well as I do the lifespan of gods. And how about you? What's YOUR age?'
'I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours!' Both girls said at the same time.
"Probably somewhere above the limit, I'm sure." Sonic muttered, but it was loud enough to FEEL the intense glares from both Palutena and Phosphora.
"For the record... I don't mind being called "sir."" Pit chimed in.
'Yes, well, as much as I'd like to continue this delightful chat, I have things to do.' Phosphora said.
'Spider-Man. Would you quit flirting with her? Remember, she's the EN-EM-MY!' Palutena said to the Web-Slinger.
"Tell HER that! And Black Cat!" Spidey replied as they enter a room with an air vent and several spheres.
"Is that an air vent?" Pit asked.
"I'm guessing if we want to proceed, we need to move those spheres to the correct place. That might turn on the air to its maximum." Sonic observed.
"Let's try that." Spidey said as they all kick the spheres down the hole, getting the air current to its highest and take the air vent to the highest floor with moving beams of electricity.
'Pay attention to the movement of those electric currents.' Palutena advised.
'I think it's probably fine to touch them. Seriously, they're perfectly safe.' Phosphora said.
"Tempting, but I like my life." Spidey quipped as they dodge the electric beams and take out the enemies blocking their path to the next room with another power crystal to destroy, opening a hole downward.
'You can hop on in! I set up a grind rail for you to use.' Palutena said as they the three hop down to grind on some rails.
"YAHOOOOO!" Sonic screamed in enjoyment.
'Grind rails, huh? Well, la di da! Wish we had the budget for grind rails…' Phosphora said, disappointed.
"Ahhh! So you guys are as broke as Spidey." Sonic quipped.
'Another thing we have in common.' Phosphora said, flirting with Peter again.
"How is that a good thing?" Spidey asked as the grind rail escorts them to a long walkaway outside the temple.
'This way goes to the center of the temple. Watch out, though. The route looks pretty treacherous.' Palutena warned them.
"It doesn't look that bad." Pit said a little too soon as they confront not one, but TWO Mimicuties, much to the guys' horror. "I TAKE IT BACK!"
"Now these are ladies I'm terrified of!" Spidey quipped as they are ferociously kicked around until Pit stunned them for Spidey to throw Sonic from his web so he could knock them off the temple.
With no one else in their way, they head back inside the temple via a jump pad to the boss door. 'Phosphora is just ahead.' Palutena informed.
'Here so soon?' Phosphora joked.
"We like to arrive earlier for our dates." Spidey quipped.
'Such a gentleman.' Phosphora replied as the three head inside.
BGM End
Spidey swings into the room first with Sonic and Pit right behind him. "Sup, beautiful. Hope we didn't leave you waiting too long." Spidey quipped as he spots Phosphora lying in mid-air with a smirk.
"Nope. You've arrived just in time." Phosphora replied.
Pit smirked. "Attention, pet of Viridi! You'd better sharpen! Your! Claws!" He yelled with several striking poses. "I am the servant of Palutena, goddess of light, and-!"
Without warning, Phosphora shoots a couple of lightning bolts around Pit's feet, "Ow OWWW!"
Sonic face-palms and shakes his head, "We told you that was unnecessary." He said to Pit.
"Enough blabbity blab." Phosphora said as she blows away the smoke from her fingertip. "Now let's get to the main act!" She declared as she takes a fighting stance against the male Avengers, and Pit, and would've made the first move until…
"Hold on ONE second." Phosphora and the D-Avengers turn to see Loki walk inside the stage. "This looks a bit unfair, don't you think? I thought you heroes were wise enough not to group up on a defenseless lady."
"I am not defenseless!" Phosphora growled.
"But you are still weakened, are you? In your current state, the angel alone could beat you." Loki proclaimed.
"I could?" Pit responded.
"Allow me to be of service." Loki summons an ISO-Norn Stone out of thin air, floating ominously in his hand. "This is an ISO-Norn Stone. It should not only return you your previous power, but break through its limit, granting you power you could've never dreamed of." He said as he psychically hands Phosphora the Norn Stone.
'Waaaaait. Why are you helping me, Loki?' Viridi asked him.
"You should know by now how powerful these mortals have become, from destroying your Reset Bomb Depot to blowing your Lunar Sanctum out of space." Loki said to give Viridi multiple reasons why she should trust him, even if it's just this once. "I simply want to see the Avengers destroyed. I don't care who does it. That is my only wish, a wish I'm sure dear Phosphora will accomplish." Loki answered.
'Hmmm…I might consider it, ONLY this once. Just curious to see how powerful these Norn Stones are.' Viridi said, agreeing with Loki.
"You can't be serious!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Phosphora, I know we just met, but don't listen to the man! He's the "God of Mischief" for a reason! That could be a trap!" Spidey warned her not to use the Norn Stone.
"Hmm. Maybe. Buuuut…I'm tempted." Phosphora smirked as she absorbs the Norn Stone's incredible power, causing the whole arena to spark electricity as her skin turns pure, blue energy, thankfully with her clothes still on as she laughs maniacally.
BGM-One Piece: Pirate Warriors OST-Gear Second
"Ooooo! It's that GOOD stuff!" OVERCHARGE Phosphora said with a new voice filter to accompanying her massive increase in power. "Forgive me, Spider. I know we just met, but it's time for you to die!' She declared as their battle really begins as she summons a guitar made of pure energy, unleashing a powerful wave of energy that scatters the heroes across the stage.
'Her power is incredible!' Palutena remarked in amazement.
"I know. Her new power might rival that of my brother." Loki replied, referring to Thor and the strong lightning he controls, comparing his power to Overcharge Phosphora.
"That's just perfect." Sonic said sarcastically as gathered the strength to stand on his two feet after her guitar attack.
"My skin feels all tingly!" Pit noticed.
"The air in here is electrified." Phosphora said as she instantly zips up to Pit to repeatedly roundhouse kick him for a short while. "It's good for the complexion, doncha know?" She quipped before she's covered up by Peter's webbing, shocking the white substance to shock Spidey enough to send him flying to the wall.
"I knew I should've brought my Electro-Proof Suit…" Spidey groaned.
Phosphora smirks before she was smacked bouncing across the area from Sonic's homing attack, who lands on the ground while equipped his Lightning Shield from his Skill Bracelet, enough to protect himself from the feminine Lightning Flash. "Let's see how you can handle me!" He said, grinning.
"I'd love to!" She smirked before the two fight clash as actual lightning bolts, moving around the whole arena it causes the place to vibrate from the power of their clashes alone, with neither speedster giving up.
"My, my. Isn't this lovely?" Loki remarked on the battle so far.
'Just look at them go!' Viridi said.
'And I thought the fighting outside was exciting! But it looks like the real action is in here! You've done well, Loki.' Hades said.
'The Avengers doesn't stand a chance!' Viridi proclaimed.
'Glad you're enjoying the show, oh divine peanut gallery.' Palutena said while Phosphora narrowly dodges Sonic's kick and counters by blasting him away, repeatedly back-flipping as she lands on the ground.
"I, for one, am honored to have you all in the audience." Phosphora said before she's hit by Pit's charged shot.
"Who's the yes-man now? Kissing up to management won't help you, Phosphora!" Pit said as he rapidly-fires shots at the living lightning, who keeps zipping on and off through his shots before firing a huge beam that consumes both Pit's shots and Pit himself, sending him bouncing away.
Taking this chance while she's distracted, Spidey webs her up and decided to throw her to the nearest wall. She quickly starts to blitz him, almost intractable, but Peter's Spider-Sense barely warned him to jump into the air seconds before she head-butted him, attaching two more weblines to her back so he could yank her in for a devastating webbed-up fist that knocks her to the ground to be pinned down by even more webbing.
"Why do you people keeping forgetting? I have experience fighting your kind." Spidey confidently said, with his arms folded, reminding everyone once again he has years of experience fighting the most powerful of living generators.
Phosphora gathers enough energy to rip apart the webbing pinning her down. "I'm on a WHOLE another level than that "Electro" guy you keep babbling about." She proclaimed.
"Nah. You're on the same level as the time he stole the Bio-Nexus Device, and I beat him then too. I got ya" Spidey replied. (*Play the PS1 game Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro*).
Phosphora growled, firing multiple electrical orbs of various speeds that Spidey hopped and leaped over most of them, with Sonic coming in to kick away the remaining few. "Sonic. Use a Sonic Wind." Spidey instructed the hedgehog.
"If you say so!" Sonic replied, kicking the air hard enough to unleash devastating wind blast that really do some damage against Phosphora.
"Electricity don't do well against the wind." Spidey said, using his knowledge of electricity to give themselves an advantage.
"Then I'll have to try harder.' Phosphora growled, starting to lose her patience. She instantly pounds Sonic to near-unconsciousness before smacking Peter across the face with her energy guitar. She then turns to notice Pit running in, screaming as he fires at her. "I don't have time to play with you." She fires her lightning bolts that split off into three segments along the ground. Pit was able to avoid this, but this gave her enough time to trap the angel in an electrical sphere of her own, playing around with him a bit by repeatedly smacking him around the area before he loses consciousness and is slammed to the ground.
'Pit!' Palutena exclaimed as Pit lies, seemingly defeated.
As Peter shakes his head, Phosphora instantly grabs him by the neck area and flies through the ceiling out of the temple, hovering above the tippity-top of the floating temple. "I'm sorry it has to end this way, Spider. You are pretty cute. Let me send you off with a farewell gift." She opens the part of his mask that covers his mouth and kisses him.
'Oh my.' Hades remarked like he's George Takei.
While she's kissing him, she's also electrifying him to excruciating levels across the body. As the pain starts to overwhelm him, so does the violet flames of his aura shrouding him in a spider cloak, instinctively activating his Aura Arachnid Mode.
"Huh?" Phosphora stops kissing him as Spidey releases a monstrous roar that was strong enough to fling her back inside the electrical arena, where Sonic and Pit recovered for another round with her, while Spidey loses his Aura as he falls on a nearby rooftop.
'Ow…That was shocking. Pun not intended.' Spidey thought as he shakes his head and barely stand up on his feet. 'She's powerful, I'll give her that. Don't know Aura Arachnid Mode would be enough. Even if it did, I rather not be too dependent on it. It's better I finish this off with my brain than brawn. She wouldn't expect that.' He thought. 'C'mon, Peter. You're the science guy. You've bragged about Electro. This is your chance to prove your mettle.' He encouraged himself to find tactics to defeat an overcharged lightning bolt. 'She overcharged herself beyond her limits. Excess energy with nowhere to go. Got to get her to release that energy. And think I might know how.' With a confident plan that doesn't rely on his Aura Arachnid Mode to win, Spidey web swings back to the battle where Sonic and Pit are barely hanging their own against the super-charged up Phosphora.
BGM End
"Back for more, huh," Phosphora begins to say to Spidey. "There must be really be a "spark" between us if you keep coming back."
"Actually, you couldn't be more right." Spidey says as he advances toward the lightning warrior.
"Huh?" Loki responds with a weird look of confusion.
Phosphora raises an eyebrow in confusion, "Wait? What?"
"Huh? What's he doing?" Pit asked, also confused.
Meanwhile, Sonic quietly chuckles to himself, "Oh, I know what's going on." He muttered, instantly figuring out what Peter has in mind.
Spider-Man continues talking as he advances towards Phosphora. "We both have a lot in common, you and I." He starts talking in a cool voice that it starts to leave Phosphora totally defenseless as he wraps an arm around her waist. "We both love joking around with our enemies. Making fun of old ladies."
'OLD?!' Palutena said in anger as Spidey continues.
"To be honest, my heart was stirred the second I saw you flash before my eyes. None of the ladies I've met are as dazzling as you." Spidey said with a cool smirk behind his mask.
Phosphora's eyes widened in surprise as she immediately blushes and starts to get flustered, "I…uh…huh…"
'What is he DOING?! What are YOU doing?! Attack! ATTACK!' Viridi yelled at Phosphora, but her screams are left in deaf ears of a flustered lightning maiden.
'The Spider knows his way with the ladies. I should start taking notes.' Hades remarked.
"How 'bout one more kiss? To truly seal the deal. What do you say?" Peter whispered as he pulls up his mask to expose his mouth, while secretly preparing his web-shooter to release its Micro-Coiled Z-Metal strips, or "Bug Zappers" he prefers. As their lips are just inches from touching each other Spider-Man speaks up, "Oh, and one more thing."
"What is it?" Phosphora asks breathlessly, still completely entranced for the kiss.
"I am SO sorry."
"Huh?"
With no time to waste, Spider-Man surrounds his Bug Zappers around Phosphora and quickly absorbs all of her energy into his body, granting him an electrified aura while Phosphora is left completely depowered.
'YOU TRICKED HER, YOU DISGRACEFUL, HEART-BREEAKING HUMAN SCUM!' Viridi shouted at Spidey.
"And I apologize! For that, and for this!" Spidey leaps straight into the air and uses his newly absorbed electricity to pound the ground with his fist, expending all the excess energy into a powerful shockwave that flies across the whole temple, hitting Phosphora with it and completely defeating her.
"YES! Did you see THAT thunder?!" Pit exclaimed.
Phosphora grunted in pain, "No. 'Cause you CAN'T SEE thunder!" She drops to one knee as she slides backward in defeat, glaring intensely at Spider-Man as he approaches her.
"I am really REALLY sorry. I didn't mean to-."
"Forget it!" Phosphora interrupted. "I take back what I said before. You're not cute at all!" She rises, heart-broken as she teleports away.
'This can't be happening!' Viridi exclaimed in surprise.
"We're coming for you next, Viridi! You two, Loki!" Pit pointed at the God of Mischief standing nearby.
"Agreed. Until next time." Loki ominously said before teleporting himself.
Spidey sighs, face-palming really hard for breaking a girl's heart, even though she was the enemy, he still feels really guilty about playing with her feelings like that. "I am such an idiot." He berated himself as Sonic walks up to pat him on the back to lift up his spirits.
"You did what you had to do. She'll get over it." Sonic told as they see Weiss and Lucina running towards them.
"We beaten our counterparts before they escaped! What happened with you guys?" Lucina asked the guys.
"Spidey flirted with Phosphora to beat her." Pit nonchalantly gave the short story of the battle to the girls.
"Oh really?" Weiss smirked at Spidey, knowing full well what she could do with that information.
"PLEASE don't tell Yang. She'll kill me, then come to Hell to kill me again." Spidey clapped his hands, begging the ice heiress not to tell his hot-tempered girlfriend about flirting with another girl, bad guy or not, even if it was to save the day.
"I won't. But this does make for some good blackmailing material." Weiss replied, still smirking as everyone laughs at Peter's expense.
"Why don't I have any luck with girls…?" Spidey groaned as the whole Thunder Cloud Temple begins to fall apart.
'This place is going back to the gods without lovely little Phosphora.' Hades said.
'Smarm it up while you still can, Hades. We'll be after YOU soon enough.' Palutena said as she shines her light to whisk the heroes out of the collapsing temple.
Elsewhere…in a lonely forest
Grimadoom relaxes next to a springtime tree, enjoying the peacefulness as he hears Neo Mecha Spider-Man flying down. "What did you find?" He asked the robot spider.
"Not much. You?" Mecha replied.
"I might have found a lead," Grimadoom smiled with his eyes closed. "But we can deal with that another time. Has Metal Sonic reported in yet?" As he said that, his earpiece picks up a phone call. "Speak of the devil." He answers the call. "Metal. What's your current ETA, and tell me what you found is worth my time?"
'5 hours. And trust me, Grimadoom…'
Space
"You're going to love what I've brought." Neo Metal Sonic ominously said as he sits on his throne deep within a redesigned Death Egg Station, now in the shape of a real egg, surrounded by countless battleships, some designed like their original alien form while some are futuristic versions of the aquatic-styled Egg Fleet Metal Sonic commanded when he temporarily took control of the Eggman Empire (*Play Sonic Heroes*), all approaching Pit's world.
BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Opening
Spider-Man: Hey, it's Spider-Man. What the heck did I just wake up to?! Where did all these ships come from?!
Neo Metal Sonic: Hmhmhmhm. Long time no see, Avengers.
Sonic: Metal Sonic?!
Neo Metal Sonic: Do you like what I've brought? In a matter of hours, this whole world will belong to the Masters of Evil. Give up the Exo Stone, or we will be completely roboticized this whole planet!
Pit: R-Roboticize?!
Next time on D-Avengers: God Mission:
Metal Invaders
Neo Metal Sonic: You have no idea what I'm now capable of.
KFX Here: I'm considering having more appearances of Phosphora in this next arc. I'll have to think about that. But yeah, this next arc in God Mission is the "Aurum Arc", but with a twist. Team Superior, and by the extension, the Masters of Evil are controlling them with a new purpose. Things are really gonna get intense now.
Note: Spider-Man, since Spider-Island DX, with the exception of The Fell Awakening and Transdimensional Racing, has been wearing the "Advanced Suit", his current suit from Marvel's Spider-Man PS4.
Note: Despite the Masters of Evil being the main baddies of the "Aurum Arc", Dr. Doom, Dr. Eggman, Dr. Octopus, and Salem won't make an appearance. It's just Grimadoom, Neo Metal Sonic, and Neo Mecha Spider-Man.
