Issue 16: Metal Invaders

Skyworld

After countless battles between the Underworld and the Forces of Nature, the Goddess of Light has finally found some free-time to herself. With no catastrophe at the moment that requires her attention, Palutena sleeps peacefully in her divine bed. That is, until she was frighteningly awoken by a loud explosion nearby.

"HUH?! What was that?! Are we under attack?!" Palutena exclaimed. She summoned a magic bubble to give her insight of the mysterious loud noise, scowling immediately when she learned who the culprit is, "Seriously? This early in the morning?"


Outside…

Ero punches then kicks the air of the floating island he's training on in Skyworld. He swings a few more punches before rapidly striking nothing with his spider-legs and roundhouse kicks, leaping several feet away to perform a few coordinate punch-kick maneuver he taught himself, sweeping the floor and slides under the air, as if he's sliding under his opponent, to kick it in the back. Finally, he immediately jumps into the air, attaching four web-lines to the ground using his spider-legs and reels himself to crush the ground with his feet, completely shattering the island as he swings away to another.

"There goes another one." He casually said, acting like the loss of another of Skyworld's islands isn't such a big deal.

As he sighs, readying himself for another session, his Spider-Sense picks up an angry goddess walking up to him from behind his back. "Hold up! Just what in the world are you doing?!" Palutena shouted at the reckless spider.

"Training." Ero simply replied.

"This early in the morning?!"

"Sorry if I woke you."

Palutena exasperates, "You're impossible, you know that?"

"Hmph."

The goddess sighs as she face-palms, knowing she'll never understand Ero's stoic attitude. Then she gets a tiredly idea. "Alright. Put 'em up." She said as she ready's her fists to Ero.

"What game are you playing?" Ero asked her.

"What else? I'm gonna help you train so I can go back to sleep." Palutena replied.

"You're no fighter. I doubt you could land a single hit on me." Ero cockily said.

"Try me?" Palutena smirked.

"Hmph." Ero grunted as he crosses one pair of his six arms, not taking Palutena seriously as she darts forward to punch him repeatedly, but each shot it easily blocked by the other usage of his arms.

"No fair! You have multiple arms!" Palutena complained. As she's about to land another punch, Ero instantly, and easily steps aside, causing her to miss and trip, almost making her lose her balance. And as soon as she regained her footing, Ero wraps an arm around her neck to prevent any more sudden movements.

"Pitiful." Ero criticized her poor fighting style, but didn't expect her to slam the back of her head to hit his face, causing him to fall in ground in defeat.

"Check and mate. Wasn't expecting that all, huh?" Palutena asked with a smug smirk.

"Dirty trick. As expected from a poor fighter." Ero replied as he stands up.

"I'm just as good as anybody. I'm a goddess, remember?" Palutena arrogantly said.

"Being a god doesn't mean you're the strongest. You're still too soft." Ero told her, unknowingly irritating her. "You don't have the stench of a true warrior."

"Wait a minute!" Palutena retorted as she's up close to Ero's personal space. "You did NOT just make fun of how I smell!"

"I think you misinterpret what I said." Ero calmly replied, as what he truly means Palutena doesn't have the spirit and will of a true fighter.

"You WERE making of my stench!" Palutena retorted, clearly not understanding Ero's words. "Well! I'm glad I don't smell like blood, sweat, and death every day!" She said, insulting Ero.

Ero sighs and hopelessly shakes his head, "You're still such a child."

"And stop calling me a child! That's as bad as being called "ma'am"!" Palutena exclaimed.

"Child. Ma'am. You women confuse me. So concern about age." Ero replied.

"Shut up! That's because you don't understand a woman's feelings, jerk!"

"I could care less."

"Not even me?!"

"Nope."

Palutena, at first, growls in annoyance, then immediately turns around to whimper while drying her tears with a napkin that came out of nowhere. Ero knows what she's playing but just couldn't it within himself to leave her like that. He then groans as he rolls his eyes. "I do…respect you in some areas.' He reluctantly said, immediately feeling an ecstatic Palutena hugging him.

"Really?!" She asked as her eyes sparkle in joy.

"You're doing this to annoy me, aren't you?"

Palutena smiled. "Yup." She simply said, playing with him as she slowly leans forward to kiss him. Suddenly, Ero senses a strange presence about to hit the land, turning to his right as he protrudes a spider-leg for Palutena to kiss instead, causing her to instantly lean away to spit.

"Urk! Yuck!" Palutena said in complete disgust as she continues to spit, then angrily glares at Ero. "I was just playing! The nerve…"

"Stop whining! Your world's in danger." Ero told her.

Palutena gasps, "It is?! From who? Loki? Hades? Viridi?"

"Check for yourself." Ero replied.

The goddess of light summoned her staff to project an image of something very, very dire approaching the earth. "Oh…This is bad, isn't it?" She asked, completely wide-eyed.

"Indeed. Assemble the Avengers." Ero ordered her.

"Already on it." Palutena replied as quickly runs back to her temple while Ero teleports back to his human host.


Five minutes later…

"YAAAAAAAH…So tired…" Spidey yawned as he and the other tired heroes sluggishly make their way to the teleporting door.

"Who's bright idea was to wake us up so early…" Weiss wondered, looking very tired and exhausted as she materializes her Extreme Gear.

"I'm sure it's…" Lucina loudly yawned. "For an important reason…"

"Not as important as my sleep…" Sonic groaned slothfully. "I need eight hours to function…"

"I'm…so sleepy…" Pit yawned, barely holding onto his Crystal Bow as they groggily walked over to the door and free-fell out of it.

Thankfully, Palutena activates both Pit's power of flight and Spider-Man's Spider-Armor, as well as making sure the rest safely ride on their Extreme Gears as they are lifted up, 'Sorry to drag you all out so early, but we've got an emergency. We have a BIG problem. Bigger than all of us gods.'

"Do tell…" Sonic said, half-asleep.

'Spider-Man. You sense what I sense, right?' Ero asked his human partner.

"How much sleep I need…" Spidey tiredly quipped.

'Focus, boy!'

"Kinda hard to…" Spidey replied as he starts scanning the skies for anything weird. He glances left and right, not seeing anything suspicious until his eyes are directly pointed to a cluster of floating islands shooting beams to the earth below, instantly waking him and everyone else when they hear all that loud noise. "Okay, we're awake! WHAT IS THAT?!" He yelled.

"It's…it's ransacking the earth!" Pit remarked in horror of the destruction those mysterious islands are causing to the world. While the Avengers are paying close attention to the earth being destroyed, several unknown triangular-shaped, white enemies suddenly fly at them.

BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Mysterious Invaders

'Enemies incoming!' Palutena informed as the techno-triangle enemies fires lasers at the heroes, forcing them to dodge and shoot back.

"They're firing on us!" Pit exclaimed as they continue to fight the mysterious creatures.

'I'm not even sure what THEY are!' Palutena replied.

"Whatever they are, I've never seen technology like this!" Spidey remarked as he shoots a green-looking triangle creature.

'And they seem pretty organized, but who's giving the orders?' Palutena wondered.

"Maybe they're a new unit of the Forces of Nature?" Pit believed.

'Come on now. Do they look "natural" to you?' Viridi suddenly started talking.

"Vi-!" Sonic began before he got interrupted by two more unwelcomed guests.

'MORNING, DO-GOODERS!' Hades chimed in.

'You all seem to be busy.' Loki said.

"This is what we need…Are you three behind this?" Weiss asked.

'Sadly, no, though we do applaud any and all violence directed at you.' Hades answered while Loki nods in agreement.

'Plus, you should know that I'd NEVER work with those two. In fact, I was about to destroy them when THEY suddenly appeared.' Viridi said.

'Oh no no no. They saved HER at the last minute.' Loki replied.

"Mmmm-hmmm!' Hades nodded.

"So none of you are at fault here?" Lucina asked as they continue fighting more variations of these mysterious creatures.

'I'm sure know-it-all Palutena is just dying to illuminate us.' Hades said.

'Unfortunately, I don't know any more than you do. I can only tell you that they're not of this world.' Palutena replied.

"You mean they're…invaders from space?!" Pit responded, eyes-widen.

"Aliens…Seems really out of place." Spidey said as they pick up the pace.

BGM End

BGM-Sonic Heroes OST-Metal Sonic: The Ultimate Overlord

While everyone is still confused what is exactly is going on, a sudden loud and sinister chuckle can be heard all across the world, as a large image slowly projects itself in front of the ransacking islands and in front of the D-Avengers: a blue, mechanical robot, with spikes that resembles five quills and a black cape around the waistline, looking all too similar to the inter-dimensional heroes, mostly Sonic as this mysterious robot reminds him of…himself.

"ALL LIVING THINGS KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER!"The robot declared as his red eye gleams menacingly.

"No way…" Sonic muttered as he recognizes this mechanical menace, "…Metal Sonic?!"

"NEO METAL SONIC."Metal Sonic corrected his organic counterpart. "LONG TIME NO SEE, SONIC, MY LOATHSOME COPY."

BGM End

BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Mysterious Invaders

"A robot Sonic?! What the heck is going on?!" Pit asked, just as confused as everybody else.

"Metal Sonic…If he's here, does that mean the Masters of Evil are here too?" Spidey wondered in fear.

Neo Metal Sonic chuckles, "CORRECT. THEY HAVE SENT ME HERE TO TAKE CONTROL OF THIS WORLD. AND TO ACCOMPLISH THAT, I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE ALIEN LIFE YOU SEE BEFORE YOU." He said as he commands more of the weird white aliens to attack the D-Avengers, the Forces of Nature, and the Underworld Armies.

"Is that so?" Sonic grinned as he kicks another alien triangle. "Here I thought you betrayed them, like the time you tried to take over the Eggman Empire. But me and the boys kicked your butt and turned you back to normal." (*Play Sonic Heroes*)

"LORD EGGMAN REPAIRED ME. REMOVED THE REBELLIOUSNESS FROM MY CODING. BUT YOU KNOW THIS-WE'VE CLASHED SINCE THEN." Metal Sonic replied as the heroes swerve around a porcupine-shaped floating island as Metal continues monologuing. "THE MASTERS OF EVIL DECIDED TO UPGRADE ME TO THIS FORM ONCE AGAIN. I WAS TO SERVE AS THEIR GREATEST WEAPON TO RECOVER THE MISSING EXO STONES, AND TO DESTROY YOU HEROES WHEN THE TIME CAME."

'So that's why you're here, to take the Exo Stone.' Palutena replied.

"CORRECT, GODDESS." Metal replied. "WE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR SOME TIME. WE KNOW YOU HAVE ONE IN YOUR POSSESSION. GIVE US THE DREAM STONE, AND I PROMISE TO LEAVE YOUR WORLD IN PEACE."

"Fat chance! You'll just use it to destroy more worlds!" Pit said.

"WHAT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE I'M DESTROYING YOUR WORLD?" Metal asked.

'You hunk of junk! Can't you see your "machines" are harvesting whole sections of the earth! You're like bees taking pollen to whatever hive you call home.' Viridi exclaimed.

'Not to quibble over details, but I think locusts are more apt analogy.' Hades said.

"TO ANSWER YOU QUESTION, GODDESS OF NATURE, WE ARE SIMPLY COLLECTING INFORMATION, BEFORE WE ROBOTICIZE YOUR WHOLE PLANET." Metal replied, shocking everyone at what he plans to do.

"SAY WHAT NOW?!" Weiss exclaimed.

'Umm, I didn't catch that. What does he mean by "roboticize"?' Hades asked.

"He's going to cyberform the earth. Turn everything into metal." Spidey answered.

'Ooh. That's a problem.' Loki remarked, nonchalantly.

"That's crazy! But what about the people?!" Lucina exclaimed.

"THEY'LL DIE, ALONG WITH YOU!" Metal laughed. "IN MERE HOURS, THIS WORLD, AND THE EXO STONES, WILL BELONG TO THE MASTERS OF EVIL!"

Sonic kicked another weird triangle into the air as he ponders what Metal said. "Hmm. That's pretty terrifying." He said so calmly. "Just one teeny-tiny problem with your grand, evil scheme."

"OH? AND WHAT MIGHT THAT BE?" Metal asked.

"We're gonna whoop your spiky butt before you robotize ANYTHING!" Sonic declared with a confident smirk.

Neo Metal laughed in response to his counterpart's declaration. "TOO LATE. WE'VE ALREADY STARTED. BUT I AM INTERESTED TO SEE HOW YOU'LL STOP THIS ONE." He said as the projection disappears and they continue fighting more of his alien troops.

'Ooooh. Such a serious villain. And while I'm interested to see what a robot Earth would look like, this is MY flower to plunder, not his!' Hades said.

'Do I have to do everything around here? Forces of Nature, drop the hammer!' Viridi commanded.

'Guess it's time for us to get involved.' Loki said. 'Underworlders, shoot anything that moves!' He shouted as the Underworld Army and the Forces of Nature join in on the fight against Metal Sonic's army.

"Still can't get along, I see." Pit muttered.

'Just do what you can, and try to stay out of the thick of things.' Palutena advised.

"We'll try, but I'm sure it's impossible." Spidey replied as they proceed to take down more alien enemies as they approach the floating islands.

"Whoa! Look at those islands!" Weiss pointed.

"I've never seen anything like this! Metal Sonic isn't playing any games." Sonic noticed.

'No kidding. These things are tough.' Viridi remarked.

'But what are they?' Palutena wondered.

"HAHAHAHA!" A voice suddenly laughed and then someone on fire just flew past them all.

"Human Torch?" Spidey responded, mistaking the man on fire for the flaming member of the Fantastic Four.

"Villains are no match for Pyrrhon!"

'Pyrrhon? The sun god Pyrrhon?' Palutena asked.

"The one and only!"

'Oh joy.' Ero said sarcastically.

"This wacko's the sun god?" Pit wondered.

'Well, that's what he calls himself anyway' Viridi said.

"Ah! So you're all together?! Good! Pyrrhon loves a party!" He said.

"And he refers himself in the third person…" Weiss groaned.

"Is he really the sun god?" Lucina asked with a deadpan stare.

'Listen, do you know what anything about these enemies?' Palutena asked the egotistical sun god.

"Of course! They're the Aurum, and THIS passel of floating islands is just one of their bases." Pyrrhon answered.

'Just ONE of their bases? How much more hell DO they plan to raise?' Loki asked.

"Let me drop a little knowledge on you!"

'Oh, goody.' Viridi said sarcastically.

"It's all in the Book of Divine Prophecy, chapter 84, section 3. "Beckoned by destruction and corruption, the Aurum are born from and return to nothing. "They travel across the galaxy to swallow up the heavens, land, and seas.""

'I don't remember that passage.' Viridi replied.

"I'll break it down for you, godlings and earthlings. The Aurum WERE gonna eat the entire earth, until that Metal Sonic guy rewrote their coding. Now they plan on cyberforming the entire earth!" Pyrrhon said.

"Yeah. He just told us." Sonic glared.

"But stow your fear. Pyrrhon has a delivery, and the return address is "justice"!"

"Can we really trust this guy?" Sonic asked.

'Um…' Palutena mumbled.

'As long as he doesn't get in the way.' Ero said.

'You know things are dire if THAT'S the guy we're listening to!' Viridi said.

"Fear the wrath of my pyroblasters, space weirdos! HAHAHAHAHA! Kablooey! Kablammy!" Pyrrhon laughed, destroying any Aurum in sight.

"Ooooh boy…" Spidey sighed. "Yeah, um, let Pyrrhon take care of this side." Spidey suggested.

'Agreed. We'll take the other side of the islands!' Palutena said.

"Good plan!" Pit agreed as they flew into the crevice where Aurum Quoils await them, but they quickly destroyed them and went down beneath the islands, where they saw the earth slowly being attacked by a large beam that's transforming everything and everyone below into metal, much to their horror.

"This is out of control!" Spidey remarked.

"He's really doing it! He's robotizing the whole planet!" Pit said.

'Viridi, it was you, Loki AND Hades who lured the Aurum to our world.' Palutena said.

'What?! That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!' Viridi exclaimed.

'No. I believe Lady Palutena is correct.' Loki said. 'The one called Pyrrhon said the Aurum were "beckoned by destruction and corruption" from our little war.'

'Little? This war has gotten the attention of villains from different dimensions using the Aurum to their advantage.' Palutena said, referring to Metal Sonic and the Masters of Evil. 'We wouldn't be in this mess because of you!'

'You're not still mad about the time I tricked humanity as you, ARE you?' Loki asked to irritate Palutena.

'I find it HIGHLY convenient how you've forgotten YOUR little tiff with the Underworld.' Viridi said to Palutena.

"And I find it HIGHLY convenient how YOU'VE forgotten a massive Reset Bomb visible from space." Pit retorted.

'You! Zip it! It's because of your human friends we're in this situation in the first place!' Viridi said, blaming this invasion on the D-Avengers, arch enemies to the Masters of Evil.

"How were supposed to know they'd bring an alien invasion?!" Spidey asked.

'Guess it doesn't matter who to blame anymore. The Masters of Evil and their Aurum pets are the aggressors here! We're the victims!' Viridi said.

'You're absolutely right. Like it or not, we're on the same side now.' Palutena said.

"This wouldn't be the first time we worked with the bad guys!" Sonic grinned as the reach an island with a large tower in the center.

'We're heading to the center of the Aurum islands.' Palutena informed. 'I sense Metal Sonic is in that tower. Stopping him should stop all this devastation. Prepare for land battle.'

"OK!" The D-Avengers said at the same time.

"Here we come, Metal!" Sonic grinned, hearing his steel nemesis's ominous laugh as the fly toward their landing destination.

BGM End


Metal Aurum Island

BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Aurum Island

"Is this…the future?" Pit asked, fascinated by all this high-tech covering the whole island.

"Maybe we're in Cybertron." Spidey quipped as they walk around and are confronted by Tribytes, prompting to take extreme prejudice against them.

'The Aurum have collected countless information from across the cosmos.' Neo Metal Sonic said, speaking through everyone's mind with a telepathy power he never had before.

'How many planets have the Aurum harvested?' Palutena asked the metal overlord.

'Thousands, for over many millennia.' Metal answered.

"For being patched together, everything seems pretty structured." Pit remarked.

'How kind of you. I hope you'll be impressed with this next little trick.' Metal said as the liquid metal floor start to rise in front of the heroes, slowly starting to take a shape into several Aurum-colored Egg Pawns. 'Introducing my Aurum Badniks. Crush them.' He commanded as the Aurum Pawns shoot their guns at the heroes, prompting them to take cover.

"Badniks are still badniks, no matter where they're from." Sonic smirked, bouncing into the air and quickly destroys all the Aurum Badniks with a single homing attack chain. "Anything else?" He asked cockily as they continue wandering around the island.

'There's more where that came from.' Metal calmly replied. 'Before, the Aurum were simply mindless machines. No free will. No objective other than total destruction of the universe. But then I came along and gave them a new purpose. Instead of destruction, there'll be creation. A world created in my image.'

"A place like this? All activity but no actual life? It's pretty creepy!" Pit remarked. "At this point, I'd expect a boss or something. And he'd be like, ""Muah ha ha! I've been waiting for you, Pit and Avengers!""

'Aww, poor Pit. Are you feeling lonely? Because I can call in one of my commanders to keep you company!' Viridi teased.

"Heh heh…I was just kidding. I'm fine!" Pit nervously replied. "Remember, I'm here with the Avengers. I'll never be lonely."

"Now you're talking, kid." Spidey smiled, giving Pit a high-five.

'Nonetheless, no matter what you think, this is the ideal world my master wishes, and I will not let you organics ruin it.' Metal said.

"Ruining a villain's wishes are always the best ways to keep me happy." Sonic quipped as Weiss hits the glowing center of a wall obstructing their path, lowering it for them to progress.

'Taking out targets like that is the key to moving past certain obstacles.' Palutena advised.

"…Or I could just go "woo hoo" and fly over them entirely." Pit said.

'You know I can't enable the power of flight right after you've used it.' Palutena replied.

"That would make things too easy, taking away all the fun." Spidey added.

"I know…But it sure would be nice…" Pit muttered.

'Sheesh, talk about passive aggressive!' Viridi said as the heroes enter a techno room with a couple of Aurum Octobots and two Aurum enemies seemingly waving at them.

"Octobots!" Spidey recognized Dr. Octopus's favorite mechanical robots, Aurumified. "But who are those enemies over there, and why are they waving at us?" He wonders.

'They're not saying hello, if that's what you're asking.' Viridi replied.

'Those Aurum enemies are known as Zaurums. Their attacks can confuse you, so don't stop to say hi.' Palutena advised.

"Hi!" Spidey waved at a Zaurum, webbing it up to throw at a few Octobots while his friends deal with the rest, destroying a large core in the process to progress in the area and take an elevator with a treasure box on it.

"Huh?!" Pit said as the whole team gulp while staring in fear at the treasure chest, really hoping it's not another Mimicutie.

"PLEASE tell me it's not a Mimicutie?!" Weiss asked.

"I'm afraid to know." Peter said.

'An elevator into a torture chamber. Convenient!' Viridi smirked.

'Hades. Loki. Did you put that treasure box there?' Palutena asked the two obvious trickster gods.

Hades gasped, 'US? We would NEVER!' He said, obviously lying.

'You have to stop accusing us of all bad deeds.' Loki replied.

"Kinda hard when talking to the "God of Mischief" and "Lord of the Underworld"." Sonic replied as Pit stupidly approached the treasure box to reveal it really is a Mimicutie. "WHY DID YOU THAT?!" The hedgehog shouted.

"I tried not to!" Pit retorted and barely avoiding another of the Cutie's mean kicks as they fight it.

'That's strange…' Viridi said, sounding suspicious of that Mimicutie chest.

'Maybe it was Metal Sonic that brought it here?' Palutena wondered as the elevator reached its lowest level where a hot spring is located.

"Ooh hoo hoo! A hot spring!" Pit makes a mad dash for the hot spring, but like a jerk, a laughing Metal Sonic manipulated the platform containing the hot spring to rise out of his reach. "Where's it going?! Get back here, hot spring!" Pit yelled.

"That's just mean." Lucina remarked on Metal's teasing.

Spidey walks up next to Pit, who's looking pretty sad the hot spring left him. "Don't worry, Pitty man." He grabs Pit's shoulder and tosses him up to the hot spring. "Have fun!"

"I LOVE YOU, HOT SPRING!" Pit shouted as he dive-bombs into the hot spring and relaxes. "Ahhh. I'm feelin' the healin'." He said as the Avengers jump up to meet him on the pool's edge.

'I hope for your sake that's a hot spring and not some other kind of…puddle.' Viridi said, causing Pit to instantly pale up and walk out of the hot spring with the Avengers laughing before they walk outside and spots an Exo Tank.

"Hey, look! An Exo Tank!" Pit exclaimed.

'Hey, look! Who cares?' Hades remarked.

"Was that rhetorical?" Peter asked.

'Who knows?' Hades chuckled.

'It doesn't make sense.' Viridi said, confused why an Exo Tank, a vehicle of the gods, is on an alien vessel.

'I certainly didn't put it there.' Palutena said.

"Well, since it's here, I might as well use it!" Pit said as he hops on the vehicle.

"Let's make this a race." Sonic said as he puts his legs in a racing position.

Pit remembers the last time he raced Sonic and doesn't want to repeat losing again (*D-Avengers: God Mission Issue 11*). "We are not gonna-!" And was cut off when Sonic speeds ahead. "OH COME ON!" He yelled as he revs up to hopelessly catch up with the blue blur.

Sonic easily takes the lead, boosting through all Aurum enemies blocking his path as he approaches a jump ramp and a platform containing a treasure chest straight ahead. 'There's a jump ahead.' Palutena informed him.

'You're gon-na fa-all! You're gon-na fa-all!' Viridi taunted.

Unfazed and grinning, Sonic rolls up the ramp and lands stylishly on the other side. "You were saying?" He smirked, hearing Viridi's irritated mumbles.

Meanwhile, Pit also makes the jump a little too successfully, as he intended to land on the platform containing the treasure chest but missed by a large margin, shouting, "NOOO" as he leaps over to Sonic's side.

'Nice one, angel!' Loki mocked as the rest of the Avengers catch up with the racers and continue forward, soon confronting Aurum-styled Grimm beasts like Beowolves and Nevermores.

"Oh great. Aurum Grimm. We didn't NEED this!" Weiss said as they take down the techno Grimm and then confronts another treasure chest.

'There's another treasure box.' Palutena noticed.

'All hail the goddess of obvious.' Viridi mocked as Pit stupidly activates another Mimicutie.

"No no no no no no noo!" Pit said while the others are paled up.

'What elegance! What grace! What disturbing brutality!' Hades cheered.

"NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" Spidey said as they barely avoid death and finish off the chest with legs and take an elevator to a higher level.

'I placed a grind rail up ahead for you.' Palutena said.

"Thank you very much!" Pit thanked.

'Don't thank me yet. It didn't turn out exactly as I'd hoped. It got a little...weird.'

"Not a problem! I eat "weird" for breakfast!" Pit said as they get off the elevator to see the weirdly jagged grind rail, raising an eyebrow. "But it IS kind of crooked."

'Something seems to have distorted it.' Palutena said.

'I copied your data. Yours, Hades's, and Viridi's. All your godly powers are mine to control.' Metal Sonic answered, surprising the heck out of th gods that a machine can copy the powers of a god.

'You WHAT?! How is that possible?!' Viridi yelled.

'It seems we've underestimated mortal machinery. I'm impress.' Hades complimented.

'Sorry about that, guys.' Palutena apologized to her mortal friends.

"It's okay. We'll make him pay for an invasion of privacy." Spidey declared as the gang hop on the zig-zaggy grind rail that leads to attacking an inactive Baglo, causing it to counterattack with lasers.

'Your attacks are only making that thing stronger.' Ero informed the team.

"You couldn't have mentioned that earlier?!" Weiss retorted as they finish it off.

'Ero's never been much of a conservationist, you know.' Palutena said.

'He's probably too shy to talk to cuties like us.' Viridi teased.

'Why would I waste my time talking to two annoying brats?' Ero stoically asked, insulting Palutena and Viridi.

'I think it's better you shut up now.' Viridi replied, immediately annoyed of being called a "brat" as the team continue grinding the crooked rails to an elevator that takes them downward.

'There's a path down through that tower.' Palutena informed.

"So we should continue going down this path?" Lucina asked.

'I'm picking up high energy readings from the base of the tower. That must be where Metal is…I think.'

'Aww, sounds like someone's losing her nerve.' Hades teased. 'I guess I'd better step in! Get in here, boys! It's time for some Underworld Army action!' He ordered a few Monoeyes and a Wave Angler to head on in, only to be completely obliterated by lasers. 'Well, that didn't go so well.'

'I think we should leave this to Pit and the Avengers.' Viridi suggested.

"Oh, sure. Do you want me to pick up your dry cleaning too?" Pit muttered.

'Now, now, Pit. Viridi has faith in all of you, and so do Ero and I. We know you all can handle it!' Palutena said while Ero simply grunts.

"We'll do our best. But only for you." Pit said.

'Pit certainly is devoted to you, Palutena.' Viridi said. 'I'd say the same with the Avengers, but…eh…'

"Thanks, Poison Ivy." Sonic replied sarcastically.

'Don't mention it.' She replied, annoying the hedgehog.

'It's only because she squeezes his head wreath when he doesn't follow orders.' Loki said.

'You mean like…THIS?!' Palutena asked.

"NO NO NO NO NO! You'll squeeze my brains out!" Pit shouted before realizing Palutena's just messing with him as he blushes in embarrassment, not to mention he heard his friends laughing. "Aww…Why do I always fall for that?"

'Ha ha ha ha! Nicely done.' Viridi laughed.

'Thank you' Palutena said, smiling.

'Who knew pretty Palutena possessed a sense of humor?' Hades asked.

"Hmph. Very funny." Pit muttered as they proceeded to go forward, taking down the rest of the Aurum before approaching an elevator.

'The center of that platform is an elevator down. It should take you directly to Neo Metal Sonic.' Palutena informed as they stand on the platform.

'Congratulations making it this far.' Metal complimented the heroes for their perseverance.

"Are you ready for another dance, scrap brain?" Sonic taunted the metal villain.

Metal chuckled, 'Quite. Now we'll see for certain who's the "true" Sonic.'

BGM End


Aurum Core Chamber

BGM-Metroid Prime 2: Echoes OST-Dark Samus Approaching

Neo Metal Sonic waits patiently in front of the large Aurum Core powering all his islands. He folds his mechanical arms behind his back as he sees the D-Avengers and Pit hop down the elevator to confront his cold maliciousness. "Greetings, Avengers." He calmly greeted.

"Hey there, Chrome Dome. Ready to be deactivated?" Sonic cockily asked his robot doppelganger.

Metal chuckles, "You and your cocky attitude, hedgehog. You won't be so cocky when I'm ruling this land."

"And just how…do you expect to do that?" Sonic smirked.

The metal overlord laughs, "Oh, quite simple really. With this." He opens his chest to reveal the Exo Chaos Stone, shocking both mortal and godly adversaries.

"What?!" Sonic exclaimed.

"No way!" Spidey also exclaimed.

"The Chaos Stone! Why does HE have it?" Weiss exclaimed.

"Is that another Exo Stone?" Pit asked.

Sonic gets into a defensive position, "Yeah. It's essentially all seven Chaos Emeralds wrapped into one DANGER of a gem." (The Chaos Stone made its debut in *D-Avengers: Spider-Island DX Issue 2*)

"So he has your OP Final Smash? That can't be good." Pit replied.

"The Masters of Evil stole that gem from us when we stopped one of their plots to take over our worlds." Weiss said. (You can thank Grimadoom for that in the ending of *D-Avengers: Spider-Island DX Issue 17*)

"How amusing to see how much you're unaware." Metal said. "This ISN'T the Chaos Stone, at least not a completed version. What I'm in possession is the "Chaos Stone Prototype". C.S.P., for short." He revealed.

"W-WHAT?!" Spidey exclaimed in shock, just as much as the others.

'A duplication of an Exo Stone?!' Palutena exclaimed.

Spidey grunted. "That shouldn't be possible!" He said.

"But it is. Dr. Doom theorized it himself." Metal replied. "He and the other Masters conducted heavy research on the original. The process was enduring and suffered multiple setbacks. We were lucky we created a few that didn't risk tearing the world apart. However, most that were developed were defectives that made unusable to but a few. Only those possessing a strong will but no soul could properly channel the C.S.P. Machines like me and Mecha were worthy enough for this power." He explained.

"Worthy enough to turn into scrap! I'll pick up your pieces and throw you to the junkyard." Pit cockily replied.

"Hmhmhm…HAHAHAHA!" Metal laughed at his little "joke", clenching his right fist. "You're going to have a tough time doing that."

"Let me demonstrate!" Pit roared as he wields his dual bow blades towards Metal, releasing a quick double slash. As he lands behind Metal, who didn't bother moving or looking like he received any damage, all of a sudden, Pit's Crystal Bow breaks into pieces, shocking the angel is bow was destroyed from just touching the surface of Metal's body. "Ooookay. That wasn't supposed to happen." He then takes out his signature Palutena Bow from his belt. "Good thing I brought a spare." He shoots Metal with a single arrow but he simply disappeared before it could connect.

'He's fast!' Viridi remarked as Metal reappears behind Pit, drop-kicking him to the ground.

"He's not one you should blow off as an easy opponent either!" Sonic said, spin-dashing at Metal Sonic, only for him to easily catch him with one hand and hits him at Spidey, knocking them both down.

Pit gets back up and starts slashing Metal relentlessly, but nothing he does make him flinch, even for a little. Before he could land another pointless blow, Pit is grabbed by the throat by the robotic commander's sharp claws. "THIS is this world's greatest champion? Hah! You're nothing but a naïve child who can't even fly on his own." Metal insulted as he throws Pit for Lucina and Weiss to catch.

"We got ya." Lucina said as Spidey and Sonic stand up.

"With the C.S.P. and the data of the gods, I'm more powerful than ever before." Metal Sonic boasted.

"We'll see about that, Tin grin. It's time we shut you down for good!" Sonic declared.

"Fools! If you're all so eager to throw your lives away, then so be it!" Neo Metal declared.

BGM End

BGM-Super Mario Bros Z OST-The Doomsday Zone (Project Chaos Remix)

The whole chamber, possibly the whole islands, shakes violently as Metal Sonic starts powering himself up to his ultimate state, roaring viciously. Using the C.S.P., a violent golden aura envelops him. The increase to his power is so strong it almost blows away the daring heroes near him, forcing them to shield their eyes from the immense blinding light. Soon after the light starts to dim, the heroes open their eyes in terror of Neo Metal Sonic's new form: the same body build with a new fresh coat of black paint and golden stripes and cape. His new golden eyes strike fear into his enemies, and combined with his intense golden aura even makes some of the gods watching sweat.

"I'LL CRUSH YOU!" TURBO Metal Sonic shouted to his new victims.

You would think Sonic would be fearful of facing against a supped-up Metal Sonic. Nope. The hedgehog grins excitedly, shouting, "AH YEAH! BRING IT ON," and revs up his feet, much to the dismay of his friends, who glance at him before face-palming.

However, before Sonic, or anyone, including the gods watching could react, Turbo Metal Sonic easily blitz the hedgehog out of the tower in a nanosecond, leaving the others dumbfounded before they give chase. Out in the open island, Sonic lands on the ground just a split second before Metal could attack him again, managing to grab his claws into a hand struggle, trying to push the other back. Sonic tries a kick, but Metal quickly teleports away for another brutal attack. Sonic tries to counterattack, but Metal continuously teleports around the area, confusing the poor hedgehog long enough for him to appear behind his back and kick him diagonally to the air.

Thankfully, Spidey leaps into the air and catches Sonic with a webline. "Sorry! No refunds!" He quipped as he hurls the curled-up hedgehog at Metal, who kicks Sonic straight up into the air, and tries out his Spider-Fu onto the robotic menace, but couldn't land a single hit because of the enemy's absolute speed before getting roundhouse kicked across the area.

Metal wastes no time to trash the other heroes, cupping his hands on top of Pit's skull, stomping on his back to punch, and then blast Weiss and Lucina away before kicking Pit's body seconds before Sonic and Spidey return to get utterly curbstomp.

'What power! To think a robot could be so powerful!' Viridi remarked in utter shock of Metal Sonic's insane power.

'Such brutality. He's ruthless. The heroes have their work cut out for them.' Hades said as Metal again kicks Pit so the angel could regroup with his wounded friends.

"Aw man! How is this guy harder than Medusa?!" Pit shouted.

"He's persistent. That's what makes him so dangerous." Sonic replied.

Spidey smashes his fists together, decided to get serious, "Form up everybody! It's time to pair up!" He said.

"Right!" His teammates responded.

"Nothing you do will faze me!" Metal proclaimed as he rolls up into a spiky ball and darts towards the heroes from the air.

Weiss quickly goes into her Maiden Style Change and creates a glyph seconds before Metal dived-in to leap everyone back from his bloodlust. Sonic goes for another spin dash, but again missed when Metal teleported. He repeatedly utilizes his homing attack to land a single blow but nothing he does could catch up to Metal's relentless teleporting spam. And just as he's about to successfully land a blow, Metal knocks him back, but seconds later, Sonic hops off a glyph Weiss made, as she runs along him, immediately bouncing off to land a decent blow against Turbo Metal Sonic. He does a couple more times, repeatedly bouncing off the many glyphs Weiss creates to do some damage against the steel menace before the robot monster got annoyed.

"Enough games!" Metal used Palutena's Reflect Barrier to bounce Sonic from the vicinity. "Scum!" He then uses a chaos-enhanced Autoreticle to blast Weiss off her feet.

Immediately after Weiss is down, Spidey attaches a webline to Lucina and spins in place to gain enough speed to throw her into the air as she changes into her AquaGround Style Change and attacks Metal with her blade, who blocked the attack with his right arm. He quickly blasts her to the ground as she immediately gets on her feet. The metal monstrosity lands in-between Lucina and Pit, both determined to finish him off. He chuckles, then forms dual-wield purple energy blades, ready for some swordplay action. Pit and Lucina immediately utilized coordinated slash attacks that Metal effortlessly blocked with his blades. When he tries to stab them, they jumped away. Instantly as she lands, Lucina stabs the ground to create a water field, summoning multiple pillars of water around and on top of Metal and Pit, thrusting them into the air for Pit to land a nice strike.

"Is this your best?!" Metal taunted, blowing Pit away with a Chaos Explosive Flame before he could land that nice strike, and then vaporizes the pillars of water with a humongous eye blast, flinging Lucina in the process through the smoke, but out of the smoke, Spidey jumps straight for Metal with a barrage of webbing and a roaring fist the robot overlord effortlessly catches, then grabs Peter by the throat. "I'll make you suffer for the time you punched me through the chest." He said. (That's how Spidey destroyed Metal Sonic in *Spider-Man and Sonic: Fate of Two Worlds Act 9*)

"Dude, it's been months! Let it go!" Spidey told him.

"Never!" Metal replied, brutally spin-attacking the wall-crawler from all directions before smacking him to the ground in severe pain.

"Have no fear! Pyrrhon is here!"

'Pyrrhon!' Palutena said as Pyrrhon flies over to help against Turbo Metal Sonic.

"It's time I toast your circuitry, robot!" Pyrrhon declared.

"Who is this babbling idiot?" Metal Sonic asked as he confronts the sun god.

"You're in big trouble now, baby." Pyrrhon said to Metal. "Sun god Pyrrhon is gonna roast you and your Aurum buddies! Yeah-ha! Once I go full power, you'll be shakin' in your boots! Too bad those will be melted too!"

"Do you ever shut up?" Metal asked, really not taking Pyrrhon seriously.

"I'll be the one shutting YOU up! FIRE IT UP!" Pyrrhon unleashes incredible fire power from blazing beams to flaming hurricanes, all enveloping Metal Sonic as he doesn't bother to move or to care, as none of those attacks didn't do a thing against him, leaving Pyrrhon stumped. "Ooooooh…"

"Are you finished? Good. Now it's my turn." Metal destroys Pyrrhon with a devastating spin attack, flinging him afar as he teleports ahead to combo his back, kicking him into the air, then teleporting again to utterly blast him straight through an island, blowing it up in the process. "No god is a match for me!" He arrogantly said. Above the metal master is a heavenly light that blasts Metal back to the island he was fighting the Avengers on, turning to see Weiss using the Dream Stone on him. "Give that to me!" He demanded, but was caught by a strong webbing that slammed him to the ground. As he stands, Metal is surrounded by Sonic, in his Red Star Ring-enhanced Light Speed Mode, and Spider-Man, in his Nature-enhanced Aura Arachnid Mode, leaving the Turbo Badnik intrigued. "Hmm. I assume we are done warming-up?" He asked.

'THAT WAS A WARM-UP?!' Viridi exclaimed.

"Now it's time to get serious!" Aura Spidey said as he releases his aura spider-legs.

"Here we come!" Sonic said as he and Spidey enter a chaotic, high-speed brawl that pushes them to their limits. Loud booms explode during their three-way clash. Metal tried to spin attack Sonic up the gut but the hedgehog quickly reacted and axe-kicked him for Spidey to punch, causing him to skid away as his feet are webbed to the ground for Spidey to claw off his metal with a rapid Crawler Assault, extending his aura arms to cyclone him into the air for Sonic kick in the face.

"I've let you live long enough!' Metal blitz the red-and-blue duo with teleporting barrages of brutal spin attacks. As he hovers, he feels a few arrows hitting him in the back, turning around to find Pit riding an Exo Tank along a track of Weiss's glyphs, "Still alive?"

"I'm too hard to get rid of!" Pit said as he jumps over Metal Sonic as his Exo Tank crash on him, releasing a plethora of arrow shots that do some damage against the steel monster. After Metal extended his arm to Pit's throat and buries him to the ground below, he's immediately attacked by Weiss's Bolts of Balthakk and her summoned Nevermore that he easily distinguishes and burst for the heiress, about to attack her with his saber until Lucina jumped in to block the attack with her shield in HeatShield Style, that way Weiss can swerve around to blast him off for Sonic and Pit to kick in the face, allowing Spidey to grab him with a giant aura hand to slam him until he burst out.

"DIE!" Metal creates a chaotic red energy sphere and blasts it at the heroes, forcing them to dodge for it to ride out to the open world for it to explode in a populated area.

"There were people over there!" Palutena exclaimed.

"You monster! How could you be so heartless?!" Sonic shouted at his robot twin.

"I have no heart, as you will experience!" Metal raises his hand to release a hell storm of energy onto the heroes, forcing them to dodge to his brutal teleporting attacks that break some bones of their bodies, pounding the floor that flings them upward for a relentless assault of spin attacks. Sonic and Spidey managed to stay in the conscious enough to combine their attacks right at their mutual enemy.

"SONIC WIND!"

"FLAMING WEBSHURIKEN!"

They both fired at the same time, forming a massive explosion that did sting Metal quite a bit, angering him to brutally smack them and the rest back down for another beatdown. The ruthless metal commander chuckles as he continues teleporting his vicious combos into each fighter that dared challenge him. "Taste my power!" He leaves them suspended in the air while shocking them to death before charging up a massive Chaos Blast. "I AM THE MIGHTEST!" He shouted as his giant explosion nearly envelops the whole battlegrounds, flinging each nearly killed hero to a different part of the island, with Spider-Man being flinged back to the Aurum Core Chamber as he knocked out of Aura Arachnid Mode.

BGM End

'Game over!' Hades said.

'Oh my. Are they dead?' Loki remarked nonchalantly.

'C'mon, guys! Don't give up! This isn't over!' Viridi yelled.

'Pit! Spider-Man! Stand up!' Palutena shouted.

Turbo Metal Sonic hovers in the air, laughing maniacally as he thinks he won, "I can't believe how easy this was. This is what happens when you challenge the strongest!"

"Don't flatter yourself, bolt brain…"

Metal turns to see a wounded Sonic barely standing from the rubble, holding onto his right arm. "This fight isn't over yet…" He proclaimed, grinning as the steel menace hovers down a distance from him.

"Of course you'll say that on death's door. I suppose I'll humor you for a few seconds before I end this." Metal said as he and Sonic start to battle again.

Meanwhile, the other heroes slowly start to stand through the bruises and bleeding. "Spider-Man. We're gonna help out Sonic for as much as we can…" Lucina communicated with Spidey through their ear pieces. "While we do, come up with a new strategy to beat him." She said as she rejoins Pit and Weiss to help Sonic distract Metal Sonic for a chance for Spidey to come up with a plan to defeat him.


Aurum Core Chamber

Spidey groans as he slowly stands up, "I'll see what I can do…when I'm not dying…" He quipped. "Pally, any godly tips…" He asked Palutena.

'I'm sorry. I can't seem to find a weakness in his power. He's practically invincible.' Palutena sadly replied.

"No weaknesses are a myth, and I don't believe in myths..." Spidey replied.

'What do we do?' Palutena wondered, sounding worry.

'You're the smart one, Webhead. Think of something!' Viridi yelled.

"Stop yelling in my head! I need to think…" Spidey ponders a plan that might stop put a stop to Turbo Metal Sonic. "The C.S.P. is still a prototype, so there's more flaws than accounted for. Even if he's near "super" levels, he's not totally invincible." He then starts to get an idea. "And it's being used by a machine…and a half-invincible machine is still weak to electricity."

'What are you proposing?' Palutena asked.

"If we have enough electricity to apply enough pressure, we may be able to short-circuit his power." Spidey predicted as he summons his Spider-Armor and instantly morphs into the electric Gemini-Spider Form.

'That won't be enough.' Ero said, knowing his Gemini mode won't provide the amount of electricity he needs.

"I know. I need another living generator. But who can I find at this-." And then, all of a sudden, Peter just had a terrible thought of the one person that could help them in their most dire hour. "God help me…" He muttered before turning to the sky. "Viridi!"

'Yeah, what is it?' Viridi asked.

"I need your help. Can you call Phosphora down here for me?" Pete requested.

'Oh no no no! Not after what YOU did, messing with her feelings like that!'

"Listen, I'm sorry! I didn't have a lot of options!"

'SURE you didn't!'

"Can you drop the attitude and bring her over here, like NOW? The guys aren't gonna last any longer!" Spidey said as he could sense his friends won't hold out against Turbo Metal Sonic much longer.

'Why would I take orders from a mortal?! This is your mess! Fix it!'

"This isn't about gods or mortals anymore! The fate of your WHOLE world's at stake!" Spidey shouted, really tired of Viridi's arrogant attitude. "Yes, this is our fault, but I'm begging you to help us! Do you WANT all of nature, the nature you love, turn into metal, or destroyed, just so you can keep nursing your FOOLISH GRUDGE?!" He shouted, which manage to hit a nerve in the goddess of nature. "How do you want this to end, 'cause we are DYING to know?"

'…Fine. Do as you wish.' Viridi reluctantly replied to Peter's request.

"Thank you. I mean it." Spidey said. He turns to his right to see Phosphora teleport in and definitely not happy with Spider-Man as she's sitting in mid-air. Peter nervously laughs as he can tell convincing her to help will be a lot harder than convincing Viridi, "Listen…" He shamefully rubs his head. "I am so so SO sorry about our fight. Did not mean to mess with your feelings like that. I am just terrible with women. If you want to kill me, you can do it after we stop robot boy who's killing us anyway. Deal?" He said, apologizing to Phosphora.

"Nope." She casually replied.

"Huh?"

"Maybe, if you go out on a date with me?" She smirked at the nervous spider.

"Whyyyyy…"

"No saving the world then."

Spidey sighs, as he really can't win with women. 'Yang's gonna kill me.' He thought. "Okay. Okay. I can never win." He muttered.

"Yes!" Phosphora fist-pumped as Peter turns to his earpiece.

BGM-Yugioh GX OST-Impossible Victory

"Guys, I have a plan." Spidey contacted his pals.

'Finally…' Pit began.


Outside the AC Chamber

"I can barely feel my legs!" Pit replied on his knees, tired, just like Weiss and Lucina while Sonic is slowly losing steam during his intense clash with Turbo Metal Sonic.

'See if you can lure Metal to the Aurum Core chamber.' Spidey instructed.

"I'll see what I can do." Pit said as he gathers the strength to stand on his two feet, running over to Weiss who's in possession of the Dream Stone. "Can I borrow this?" He asked as he takes it anyway.

"Sure. Go nuts…" Weiss replied as Pit runs to where Sonic has been knocked on his back, battered and broken while Turbo Metal Sonic shows no worse for wear.

"This is the end! Enjoy your last few breath of fresh air!" Metal chuckled as he charges up a finish blow to end Sonic's life.

"Uh, yoo-hoo!"

Metal turns around to see Pit, standing in front of the hole to the AC chamber, showing him the Dream Stone in his hands. "You still interested in this?" He asked while shaking the Exo Stone. The maniacal machine wastes no time hurrying to retrieve the Exo Stone from Pit's hands. Seconds before Metal could reach him, however, Pit uses the Dream Stone to temporarily turn himself into a puddle of water, tricking him back inside the chamber.

"What?!" Metal is left dumbfounded, and even moreso when he's surrounded by metallic strips, or "Bug Zappers".

"Hey, tin can!" Spidey grabbed Metal Sonic's attention as he and Phosphora grip onto the metal strips. "We're putting a shock to your system!" He quipped as the two charge up enough electricity through the strips to shock him, but it doesn't seem to work, at first.

"Fools! Nothing you do can stop me! I am invincible!" Metal boasted.

BGM-Yugioh GX OST-Jaden/Judai Yuki Theme

"We'll see how long that'll last!" Phosphora said as they pump more electricity into his circuitry, and by a miracle it starts to affect him, slowly overheating his systems and the C.S.P.

"It's working!" Pit said happily as the other three Avengers run up into the chamber, noticing Metal trying to break free from their electric grasp.

"Oh no you don't!" Weiss said as they start attacking him to keep him still while he's being pumped up with too much electricity, but it still might not be enough.

"I'm losing steam! We need more power!" Phosphora said, quickly getting drained of her energy. Spidey takes a quick glance at the Aurum Core behind him and gets the stupid idea to inject his spider-legs into it to absorb more power. "What are you doing?!" She shouted at him.

"Something REALLY stupid!" Spidey replied as he overheats his own armor and body while using this increase in power to intensify their electricity trap, completely overpowering Metal Sonic and weakening his power to the point he's back in his Neo form. Spidey's also weakened and falls on one knee. "You can finish him off at any time…" He tells his friends to end this.

Sonic grins as he stretches his right arm, so excited to end this. "You got it!" He revs up and delivers the finishing spin-dash that pulverizes Neo Metal Sonic through the Aurum Core, defeating him and destroying the power source of the Aurum Islands.

BGM End

"We did it!" Pit exclaimed.

"Alright!" Both Weiss and Lucina happily said, giving each other a high-five.

"Yay…" Spidey weakly fist-pumps the air while Phosphora helps him up.

"Game over, metal brain! You've lost! Again!" Sonic smirked at his defeated robot doppelganger.

Even in defeat, Metal Sonic laughs as if he's won. "For the moment. But we'll continue robotizing the planet, thanks to the "limitless" C.S.P.s the Aurum is creating for us." He revealed, shocking the heroes that the Masters of Evil still have more C.S.P.s. "That's right. With their advanced alien technology, creating more C.S.P.s has never been more proficient. It's only of time when we finalize the project. What you just experience is only the beginning! Farewell my adversary! Chaos Control!" And with that ominous remark, Metal Sonic leaves as the whole islands start to fall apart without their precious core.

"We should really get going…" Spidey said.

"Agreed!" Pyrrhon comes out of nowhere and collects the united heroes into a flaming bubble and flies them out of there, watching as the islands blow apart into nothing. "You all right there, citizens?" He asked the heroes.

"A-OK!" Pit replied with a thumbs up as Phosphora teleports back to Viridi's.

'Thanks for your help, Pyrrhon.' Palutena said as she shines her light down on the Avengers. 'Avengers, let's regroup.' She said as she whisks them away.

"Whoop!" Pyrrhon said as they left, but then senses something ominous. "Pyrrhon senses danger." He turns to spot a hoard of Aurum Battleships, some looking like Eggman's aquatic-themed Egg Fleet. "And now…Pyrrhon sees it." He then teleports away as everyone prepares for another battle against the Masters of Evil.

Spider-Man: Hey, it's Spider-Man. We need to take out the Aurum Hive next. That's where they're creating more C.S.P.s!

Pit: Countless Chaos Stones! We barely survived against one!

Spider-Man: Technically, countless Chaos Stone prototypes.

Pit: Does it really matter?!

Spider-Man: No, I guess. They're still a problem that we'll need to crash.

Spider-Man: Oh man. It's a library of books that could destroy the universe. Can I rent one?


KFX Here: HOT DAMN, this was a long one. Was not expecting this chapter to be a little more intense than I thought. As you have read, the Aurum Arc is gonna play a little differently, so I am curious to hear your thoughts on this one.

Fun Fact: Turbo Metal Sonic's color scheme (Neo Metal Sonic's transformation when using a C.S.P.) was inspired by Metal Sonic 3.0's color scheme from Sonic Rivals 2.

Great Saiyaman54: I will NOT be doing any crossovers with Mario or Kirby. But I am thinking about a Mega Man X crossover.

Sanantx: I don't really imagine Spidey with Yuri Lowenthal's voice a whole lot (it's either Josh Keaton, Drake Bell (a sin, I know), Christopher Daniel Barnes, or James Arnold Taylor). And when I do think of Yuri Lowenthal as Spidey, I always hear Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto.
