Issue 1: The Strand of History
New York City, Cunningham Park over at Queens
BGM-Dragon Ball Super OST-Limit-Break X Survivor (Relaxed Ver.)
'Hi. The name's Peter Parker. Maybe you heard of me,' Peter asked, acting all cool, 'Or perhaps you've heard of my totally awesome, webheaded alter-ego? No? How? I'm an amazing legend. The Hero of New York. Savoir of missing purses. Ah. I need a new agent. Anyways, in case some of you aren't aware, or haven't checked my blog, I'm on summer vacation. Taking a break from school, hanging out with some friends who are LITERALLY out of this world, or dimension in this case. But we aren't some ordinary, hyperactive teenagers. We are some ordinary, hyperactive SUPERHEROES called the 'D-Avengers.' Weiss doesn't like that name for some reason. It's been about a month since we saved our worlds from a serious case of 'spideridis' thanks to the Masters of Evil. Who are they? A group of supervillains handpicked from each of our worlds led by the one and only Doctor Doom, who wants to collect these mysterious gems called the Exo Stones scattered across the multiverse to rule the world. We have one, the 'Espeon Stone,' while they have the 'Chaos Stone.' Just one of them could pose a threat to the entire universe. Who knows where the other six are at? Like I said, it's been a while since we heard a peep from them. Probably playing some golf at Latveria. Us? We've been taking it easy. Y'know. Hanging out at the beach. Playing at the casino, even though I'm sure we're not old enough to play there, yet Sonic's been at a couple like 20 times in his career. And also…'
A small baseball is seen flying across the skies above a field, only to be caught by a web, reeled back to the hands of Peter Parker wearing baseball gear. 'Some classic baseball.' He finished in his thoughts, as right now, he and his friends from two dimensions are playing baseball game against each: Team Amazing, consisting of Peter, Knuckles, Ruby, Weiss, and a spider clone of his Other, Ero, using thousands of spiders to give himself a humanoid body. They are playing against Team Spectacular, which consists of the rest of the D-Avengers: Sonic, Tails, Blake, and Yang, and another clone of Ero on their team, with the third clone taking the appearance of Ben Reilly, one of Peter's first clones made by the Jackal, acting as umpire. Peter has just caught the ball that the pitcher, Knuckles, threw at the batter Yang, with Sonic already at first base and the rest of Team Amazing taking positions on the other bases since Team Spectacular are in the lead.
"Out! That's your second. Take a seat." Umpire Ero, as Ben Reilly, informed everyone.
"Oh, c'mon!" A slightly frustrated Yang said, throwing the bat to the floor close to Weiss acting as the catcher.
Sonic quickly zooms through all three bases with his signature speed before arriving at the catcher's base with little trouble. "Haha! Better luck next time, Yang." Sonic chuckled, walking back with Yang to the seats so Blake could have a turn at bat.
"Remind me again why I'm doing this? Couldn't you get any of your other friends to play this 'baseball' with you?" Umpire Ero asked the two huntresses in front of him.
"We were, but MJ's out of town, Team JNPR's hanging out at Hawaii, and Johnny and Ben are helping the rest of the Fantastic Four in Dimension 12 to fix their sun that got sucked into a black hole." Blake replied, trying to find the best position to properly hit the ball.
"Are you kidding me?" Ben Ero responded to that last part.
"Why are you complaining? Have you ever played baseball before?" Weiss asked while getting ready to catch another mad ball from the hard-throwing Knuckles.
"I…uh…no." The Spider-Other shamefully answered the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company.
"Seriously? You're over 15 million years old and you've NEVER played baseball? You NEED to expand your hobbies." Weiss told the Other, irritating him a bit.
Knuckles throws another one of his hard-knuckle throws that could smash through a wall at Blake, but with the use of her shadow Semblance, she created a clone of herself to help her smack the ball over at the other side of the field, granting her a home run.
"Aw man!" Knuckles said, seeing Blake running across all three bases with nothing to worry about, but just before she could reach the third base, a stream of rose petals pass by her, ending with Ruby touching the faunus with the ball she quickly caught using her speedy semblance.
"Gotcha! Three outs! It's our turn." Ruby said, getting Blake to sigh in defeat.
"Hehe! Nice one, Rubes!" Peter congratulate his surrogate little sister, receiving a big-wide smile and a thumbs up from the little rose.
"It's nice to be normal kids for once. I don't remember the last time we had a break this relaxing." Tails said as both teams switch sides.
"You said it. Why can't all vacations be like this?" Yang said, with each team member taking a position, with Sonic acting as the pitcher and Yang as the catcher. Everyone else takes a base.
BGM End
BGM-Dragon Ball Kai 2014 OST-Battle Royale
"Okay, let's do this!" Peter said, stretching his arms while holding onto his bat. The hidden spider-hero gazes his cocky demeanor towards the blue pitcher, getting his spider-sense ready to hit a home-run.
"It's on, Peter! I'm gonna make you regret forcing me to that cruise a week ago!" Sonic smirked at his friendly opponent.
"C'mon, Sonic! It's time I pay you back for tricking me to time travel when we explored Little Planet yesterday!" Peter said, getting in position to hit his super-speedy ball throws.
"Heh. Guess that means I should go full power!" Sonic said. Using the power of the seven chaos emeralds they recently collected, stashed in a bucket next to the resting seats, Sonic transforms into the golden Super Sonic to grant his team invincible victory.
"And I'll do the same!" Peter said, with his eyes transforming to give him beasty red-and-blue eyes because of his Other, simultaneously using the emeralds to grant him a golden aura and a golden bat covered in webbing.
"Aren't you two getting a little worked up over a baseball match?" Ero asked his human other.
"A fight's a fight! I'm in it to win it!" Peter replied.
With a mighty roar, Super Sonic pitches the light-speed baseball surrounded by chaos energy at Peter, who is prime and ready to knock it a sunder with his enhanced spider-sense, but everyone else is a bit worried they might die because of their recklessness. "Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! OH GOD!" Yang shouted, terrified, as the ball gets closer and closer to her, and before anyone knows it, a powerful explosion, equivalent to an atomic bomb, encompasses the entire baseball field, capable of being seen from space.
Luckily, somewhat, Peter was able to hit that light-speed throw at the dime, flinging the ball all the way to Avengers Tower over at Manhattan, where it accidentally hits the Hulk's head and lands on Hawkeye's unknowing hands, and before the archer could wonder where the ball came from, he is tackled to the ground by a rampaging Hulk.
Back at the destroyed field, everyone but Sonic and Peter are absolutely stunned and jaw-gapping they're still alive, trying to process how. "We're still alive…" Weiss asked, almost speechless.
"I don't know…" Knuckles responded, covered in dirt, still as stunned as everyone else.
"That was a true vanishing ball…" Blake said as she gets up from the destroyed field.
BGM End
After that explosive pitch, the team rightfully decided to end the game as a tie, not wanting to destroy anything else at the park. "I think that's enough excitement for one day." Peter said, putting on his regular clothes, then taking a drink from his water bottle.
"You two are nuts. Really, really nuts." Weiss said to Peter and Sonic, getting them to laugh.
"Speaking about nuts, how are those mentor-mentee sessions going along with Kaine, Blake?" Peter asked the black-haired cat friend.
"Ignoring the fact we constantly argue and yell at each other for about 60% of the time, great. Maybe." Blake said, remembering how once in a while she checked up on Kaine, Peter's former evil clone that was brought back to life recently, to tutor him to becoming a better person and lessen the anger, with little success.
"I heard you two went to a rodeo together. How was that like?" Yang slyly grinned towards the faunus, thinking the two went on a date.
"It's not what you think," She said with an unnoticeable blush, "I had to DRAG that stubborn guy out of bed just to get him dressed. Seriously, your brother is just the worst." Blake said to the original spider.
Peter lets out an embarrassed chuckle, knowing full well how much of a hand full Kaine can be since he IS him, "The guy had a tough life, can you blame him? I'm just happy your helping him out. Seriously, I can't thank you enough for doing this for him."
Blake smiled after hearing that lovely comment, "Hey, what are friends for? Besides, he told me he prefers me than your annoying mouth."
'Razzum frazzum…' Peter said in his head, annoyed.
"So, why is it we collected the Chaos Emeralds?" Ero asked, changing topics, before transforming back into his humanoid, spider-spirit form with the multiple arms.
"Just to make sure the Masters of Evil won't find them before us. Y'know, just in case." Ruby said before drinking from her water.
"Shouldn't we be more focused finding those Exo Stones," Knuckles asked, "We don't know if Doom found them all yet."
"Don't worry, Knux. We'll find them. We're just taking it easy." Sonic assured him.
"Me and Tails already built an 'Exo Radar' that's currently scanning the multiverse for any Exo Stones." Peter informed the guardian.
"So far, we haven't detected any, and I'm certain the Masters of Evil haven't found any either. Besides the one they already have." Tails said, referring to the Chaos Stone they were forced to switch for the Espeon Stone.
"The sooner we find them, the better. I'm not in the mood saving the universe again from total destruction." Weiss said.
BGM-Fire Emblem Awakening OST-I mean it! GO!
Before the inter-dimensional troublemakers could think about leaving, Peter's spider-sense picks up a unique signature he never felt before, causing his eyes to glow red-and-blue again. "You just HAD to say something, didn't you?" He criticized Weiss.
Then suddenly, a mystic portal, not of this world, opens up below the heroes' feet, making them gasp and wonder where it came from. "Oh no! Not again!" Yang said, remembering how not long ago she and the rest of Team RWBY, and Sonic, were transported to the world of Camelot with something like this happening before.
"What's happening?!" Tails shouted as the portal tries to suck them up like a vacuum.
Ero, mysteriously, seems to already know who summoned this portal before them. "Grrr. What is she playing?" He implicitly asked before transporting himself back to Peter's mind.
"Ero, what're you talking about?! Ero?!" Peter tries to speak with his other but receives no answer what so ever.
As the heroes try to escape the portal's wrath, the Chaos Emeralds they collected are accidently sucked into the portal. "No! The Chaos Emeralds!" Sonic shouted as the portal's winds get stronger and stronger, slowly pulling them in.
"If this day gets any weirder, I may have to scream." Peter said, just as he and his friends are suddenly floating in mid-air above the portal, looking like it's ready to swallow them whole. "Yup. That'll do it!" He screamed, along with his friends, as they sucked into the portal before it closes completely, sending them to parts unknown.
BGM End
Ylisse, Outside of Southtown
"Chrom, we have to do SOMETHING," said a young teenage girl, standing by her brother over a white-haired man in a black hooded robe that looks to be unconscious.
"What do you propose we do," asked Chrom.
"I…I dunno…" His sister replied.
Slowly, the mystery man on the field starts to open his eyes, getting the attention of the two figures looming over him.
BGM-Fire Emblem Awakening OST-"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know"
"I see you're awake now." Chrom said to the awaken fellow on the ground.
"Hey there!" The young maiden smiled to see he's okay.
"There're better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know," Chrom holds his hand out to the person on the ground, "Give me your hand." The white-haired man obliges, grasping onto the swordsman's hand with his own hand that possess a strange mark on its back but no one seems to notice it.
BGM End
BGM-Fire Emblem Awakening OST-Id(Serenity)
As the robed man stands on the field, he notices another man in blue knight armor standing behind Chrom and his sister. "You all right?" Chrom asked the mystery man he helped up.
"Y-Yes…Thank you, Chrom." He replied.
"Ah, then you know who I am?" Chrom asked.
"No, actually. I…It's strange…Your name, it just…came to me…" The mystery man replied.
"…Hmm, how curious. Tell me, what's your name? What brings you here?" Chrom asked, wondering who this man is.
"My name is…It's…Hmm?" The mysterious youth ponders this question for a bit.
"…You don't remember your own name?" Chrom asked.
"I'm not sure if…I'm sorry, but where am I, exactly?" The robed man asked the blue-haired swordsman.
"Hey, I've heard of this! It's called amnesia!" The little maiden spoke up, thinking that's why this person can't remember his own name.
"It's called a load of Pegasus dung," said their knightly guardian, "We're to believe you remember milord's name, but not your own?" He asked the amnesiac man.
"B-But it's the truth!" He replied.
"…What if it IS true, Frederick? We can't just leave him here, alone and confused. What sort of Shepherds would we be then?" Chrom said to his guardian.
"Just the same, milord. I must emphasize caution. 'Twould not do to let a wolf into our flock." Frederick replied.
"Right then. We'll take him back to town and sort this out there." Chrom said.
"Wait just one moment. Do I have a say in this?" The mystery man asked, wanting to defend himself.
"Peace, friend. I promise we'll hear all you have to say back in town. Now come." Chrom gestures the man to follow him back to town along with his sister and guardian, but just a few seconds after they start traversing the field, their mystery man hears a couple of loud cries and screams from somewhere.
BGM End
"Do you all hear that?" He asked the Shepherds.
"Hear what?" Chrom asked, prompting them to stop on their tracks.
"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!"
"Huh?" Chrom and the others look to the skies to see other mysterious youths free-falling uncontrollably down to their direction, and before they know it, they crash-land right on top of the Shepherds, with the exception of the flying fox and the gliding echidna, who landed safely on the ground.
Peter grunts in excruciating pain after he fell on top of the Shepherds and his fellow Avengers stacked right on top of his aching back. "Man, you guys are heavy…" The brown-haired hero said, trying to get up but fails.
"What have you girls been eating…?" Sonic asked in pain and aches.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" All girls, including Chrom's little sister, quickly gets up and gives the idiotic males a scary look that destroys souls.
"WE DIDN'T MEAN IT! IT WAS THE SLIP OF THE TOUNGUE! PLEASE DON'T KILL US!" Both the hidden spider and scared hedgehog apologized to the girls while Tails and Knuckles chuckle at their friends' expense.
The angry girls still stare in rage at the boys until they wonder where they are, and more importantly who the other person beside them is. "Huh? Who are you?" Ruby asked the young maiden standing beside her, with the latter saying the same thing at Ruby simultaneously.
"Hey. Where are we?" Parker asked, checking his surroundings, with his spider sense tingling to Frederick threatening him with his silver lance to the back, frightening the heroic spider.
"Who are you people, and where did you come from?" The serious knight asked Peter.
"How 'bout you point that stick somewhere else and I might tell you?" Parker responded, not scared at all from this threatening knight in armor.
"Or better yet?" Sonic quickly snatches Frederick's lance without giving a warning of his movements.
"Hey! Give that back, rodent!" Frederick threatened, trying to get his lance back from the speedy hedgehog, only to face-plant to the grass, causing everyone to laugh at his embarrassed state.
"Alright. I think that's enough fun and games for now," smiled Chrom, turning to the outworldly looking teenagers. "So, care to explain why you're all falling from the sky not long ago?"
"Sorry. This might be hard to believe, but we're not from this world. We sorta got sucked through a portal that led us to…wherever this is." Tails explained.
"A portal?" questioned Chrom's little sister.
"That IS hard to believe," said Frederick as he slowly stands back up on his feet. "Just how I find it hard to believe THIS man holds amnesia," he said, pointing to the amnesiac man they found not long ago. "You can't POSSIBLY expect us to believe oddly-dressed younglings and their pets are really beings from a distant world and not common thieves of the land?" He asked.
"Pets?!" Knuckles growled.
"Nuh-uh. Did he just call us younglings?" Blake asked, looking confused.
"And oddly-dressed. Yeah, Weiss, maybe." Peter mocked, getting on Weiss' nerves once again, his favorite past time.
"Frederick here might not believe you, but I can sense you're not lying, so I'll trust you," said a smiling Chrom. "Still, it would be better if you all come to town with us so we could hear your stories."
"Sure. Lead the way." Sonic said, throwing Frederick back his trusty lance. The inter-dimensional heroes then follow Chrom and his Shepherds back to town for further questioning.
"So, what're you in for?" Peter asked the amnesiac man beside him.
"I'm still trying to figure that out," He replied, looking back at the hidden spider hero. "It's strange, but have we met before? I have a feeling we have." He asked Peter, having a small feeling as if he and Peter once met at one point.
Peter shakes his head, "No. I was honestly gonna ask you the same thing. Huh. Weird." The boy said. For a quick second, an invisible Ero materializes beside Peter so he could have a better look at his new friend. The Spider-God takes a note of this amnesiac man, looking like he should know this person but can't exactly place his finger on it, so he lets out a quiet grunt and forgets about it before going back to his host's body.
Shortly after, the heroes and the Shepherds are seen walking along a road. "What are you gonna do with us? Are we like prisoners or something?" Ruby asked Chrom as they walk.
"Hah! You'll be free to go once we establish that you're no enemy of Ylisse." Chrom replied.
"Is that where we are? Ylisse?" Yang asked.
"I was just about to ask the same thing." The mystery man said, as he's been curious where in the world they are.
"You've never heard of the halidom? Ha! Someone pay these actors. They play quite the fool! Their furrowed brow is especially convincing…" Frederick mocked the two, which does seem to get on their nerves, well Yang's anyways.
"Frederick, please," Chrom calmed his guardian before turning to the newcomers of the land. "This land is known as the Halidom of Ylisse. Our ruler, Emmeryn, is called the exalt. I suppose proper introductions are in order…My name is Chrom, and the delicate one here is my little sister, Lissa." He said, pointing to his young maiden sister.
"I am NOT delicate," protested Lissa, flailing her arms around, then turning back to the Avengers. "Hmph! Ignore my brother, please. He can be a bit thick sometimes."
"Behind that messy hair, I can believe it." Peter joked, getting Lissa to laugh. "My name is Peter Parker and these are my friends, who are also from 'distant worlds'. It's complicated." He said, gesturing his arms to Team Sonic and Team RWBY.
"The name's Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog." Sonic introduced himself, giving the Shepherds a smiley thumbs-up.
"Tails." The two-tailed fox introduced himself.
"Knuckles the Echidna." Knuckles continued.
"Ruby Rose." The little huntress nodded politely.
"Weiss Schnee." The heiress formally bowed to the Shepherds.
"Blake Belladonna." The faunus smiled.
"And Yang Xiao Long." Yang smiled greatly.
"We call ourselves the D-Avengers, our worlds' mightiest heroes and whatnot." Peter finished introducing the team to their new friends.
"Still a dumb name," protested Weiss.
"Stop complaining."
"Wow, that's so cool. I guess we Shepherds shouldn't be worried if we didn't find you. You all look like you could handle the Brigands no problem!" Lissa said.
"Shepherds? You tend sheep?" The mystery man questioned their team name.
"In full armor? What kind of sheep puts you guys on edge?" Sonic asked the Shepherds.
"Heh, it's a dangerous job. Just ask Frederick the Wary here." Chrom points to his knightly guardian.
"A title I shall wear with pride. Gods forbid one of us keeps an appropriate level of caution. I have every wish to trust you strangers, but my station mandates otherwise." Frederick said.
"Perfectly understandable, Freddy." Peter said, annoying the great knight.
"Yes, I would do no less myself," The mystery man agreed with them. "My name is Robin…I just remembered that. How odd. I suppose that's one mystery solved." Robin said, now remembering some parts of his memory.
"Robin, huh? But where's your skinny red clothing, and your brooding mentor?" Peter joked, comparing him to someone else.
"I'm sorry, what?" Robin asked, not getting the joke.
"Don't mind him, he's an idiot." Weiss answered the confused amnesiac man.
"Robin? Are all you're names foreign," asked Chrom but quickly dismissed it. "Ah, well. We can discuss it later. We're almost to town. Once we-."
Just that moment, Peter's spider-sense tingles to nearby danger. "I'm sensing trouble." He told everyone.
"Where?" Ruby asked him.
"Guys, look! The town!" Lissa points everyone to a burning Southtown that's surrounded by smoke.
"Damn it! The town is ablaze! Those blasted brigands, no doubt," Chrom said, turning to his friends. "Frederick, Lissa! Quickly-!" And before he could give any orders, Sonic and Ruby, as you would expect from a couple of heroic speedsters, zooms to the town to help, leaving behind dust trails and completely stunned Shepherds, who are rightfully amazed of their unimaginable speeds. "…Huh?"
"I-Incredible. Such speed…" Frederick responded, surprised on how fast those two Avengers are.
"HEY, YOU TWO! REMEMBER TO LEAVE SOME TO US," shouted Peter. The Avengers quickly switch to their superhero uniforms and follow their friends to the town, leaving behind the Shepherds to stay in place, motionless.
"Whoa. They really do look like superheroes." Lissa said, seeing them off.
'Wait…' Chrom takes another observant look at the Amazing Spider-Man, as if he recognizes him from somewhere. 'It can't be…' He turns back to the other three. "Alright, like I said, Frederick, Lissa! Let's go help them out!"
"What about him?" Frederick points to Robin.
"Unless he's on fire as well, it can wait! Let's go help out Spider-Man!" Chrom replied.
"Spider-Man? The Spider-Man? Him? That's not possible" Frederick shockingly questioned his milord that Spider-Man is some other Spider-Man they know.
"Let's go already!" Lissa shouted, running with the other two to the town, leaving Robin by his lonesome.
"But what about…Hmm…" After a brief moment of indecisiveness, Robin decided to tag along and follow them behind.
Southtown
BGM-Sonic Forces OST-A Hero Falls
At the small town, the leader of the Brigand, the barbarian Garrick, is holding some townsfolk hostage in front of the town's main hall along with his men. The barbarian lets out a creepy laugh, "Get to it, lads! Grab anything shiny, and put the rest to the torch! We gots an example to set for these Ylissean types! Ain't that right, lass?" He creepily walks over to a young maiden.
"S-Stay away from me! Please! Someone! HEEEEEEELP!" She yelled in terror.
Thankfully for her, help has arrived in the form of Sonic and Ruby. The speedster duo blitz through enemy defensives in a blink of an eye, scattering all the bandits across town. Ruby incapacitates some foes with her Crescent Rose, knocking most of them out while in the form of roses. Sonic performs his signature homing attacks on the mages before boosting through the rest so he could finish them off with a powerful stomp to the chest.
BGM End
"Is everyone here alright?" Ruby asked the townspeople, who all seem very grateful for their help.
"Look out!" The maiden woman from before warns them to a couple swordsmen brigand about to sneak attack the speedsters, and even though they could've easily handle them, they decided to let Spider-Man web them up as he and the other Avengers arrived.
BGM-Fire Emblem Awakening OST-Prelude (Ablaze)
"Hope you don't mind if we cut in?" Spidey quipped, landing in front of Sonic and Ruby.
"No problem. We save a few, just for you." Sonic smirked to his webheaded friend.
"Nice. Alright, team. You know the drill. Different world, same heroics. Avengers Assemble!" Spidey shouted, working together with his friends to effortlessly take down the bandits. Peter decided to play around with a swordsman for a bit, easily dodging all of his measly sword swings as if they're moving in slow motion. "It seems that no matter which world I stumble upon; the goons here never seem to give a proper workout." He quipped, kicking the bandit straight to the jaw, knocking him out.
Tails spin dashes the feet of some barbarians to the air, leaving Ice Queen Weiss to fling them away with a glyph. Blake wraps up a few brigands with her ribbons and throws them across the town for Knuckles and Yang to plow to the ground. At that moment, the Shepherds appear only to be amazed the Avengers have practically cleaned the town without their help.
"Whoa. They've already took down half of the bandits." Lissa said, amazed at their strange and unique abilities.
After elbowing a goon in the face, Spidey spots his new friends and zips over to meet them. "Where were you guys? Herding sheep?" He chuckled at his own joke.
"I'm impressed, Spider-Man. It would seem you Avengers are more capable than I first suspected." Chrom said with a smile.
"Huh? How do you-?" Peter was about to question Chrom how he knows his superhero identity when he hasn't told him yet, but before he could, Robin shows up right behind them.
"Wait!" He shouted, looking very exhausted.
"Robin! You followed us! Why?" Chrom asked him.
"I…I'm not certain myself. But I'm armed, and I know my way around a fight, if you'll have me." Robin said, showing his bronze sword and magic book.
"Is that a sword? And why do you have a book? You're gonna read them to death?" Spidey asked.
"That's a tome? You know magic?" Chrom asked the magician.
"I…believe so? I suppose I should check." Robin said, looking a bit unsure.
"You 'believe so'? Perhaps I'll just keep a few paces behind you for the time being…" Chrom advised, not wanting Robin to be a danger to everyone.
"No, I can control it. I'm sure. Now, how did this work again? Ah, yes…" Robin looks through his tome, and before you know it, he blasts a nearby bandit with thunder magic.
"Wow, that's incredible, but try to ease up on the pain factor. We don't want to kill these guys." Peter advised the sorcerer.
"They are thieves and murderers. They will grant us no quarter. It's kill or be killed." Frederick said on horseback, thinking these bandits have no reason to live anymore.
"And I think that's stupid. Just knock them out. No point putting in the extra effort. Ever tried that, Fredbear?" Spidey objected to Freddy's "kill or be killed" policy.
"I agree with our friend. Incapacitate them, but don't kill. Lissa. You attend to the wounded. Let's heed, Shepherds!" Chrom shouted, taking out his sacred sword.
"Is that you guys' shout-out slogan? Not bad." Peter quipped, working together with the Shepherds to take down the remaining bandits terrorizing the town. While Lissa heals any wounded civilian she comes across with her magic staff, Frederick carefully strikes down his foes with his silver lance to the point of unconsciousness, following Chrom's orders of no killing, something he's not quite used to. Robin, using his clever tactics, works together with Weiss to summon thunder magic that blows away the bandits to the walls, giving Sonic and Ruby a chance to bop some heads in. As for Chrom, he and Spider-Man are face-to-face with Garrick, the leader of these persistent bandits.
"Here, sheepy sheepy! Come to the slaughter!" He taunted his foes, leaving him open to a kick to the face from Spider-Man.
"I don't think that's the best way to greet your friends, buddy. How about, 'Here, sheepy sheepy. I'm here for my daily beat-up session because I'm an idiot?' See? Sounds so much better." Spidey rambled, with Chrom striking down at the lead bandit with a diagonal sword swing, weakening him for the web-slinger to web him up so he won't be a danger to anyone else.
BGM End
"And that's the end of that." Peter said, wiping off the dust from his hands as his friends from different worlds walk up to him and Chrom.
"Lucky for the town, we were close by." Sonic said.
"Holy wow, you guys are SO amazing," said an ecstatic Lissa, amazed by the Avengers', and Robin's, spectacular abilities that seem out of this world. "Not only some of you are super-fast, but so incredibly strong as well!"
"Oh wow. You kinda sound like Ruby when you're so excited." Yang smiled, noticing the similarities between her little sister and Chrom's little sister.
"Oh no." Weiss mumbled, hating the fact they're now friends with another Ruby.
"Oh yeah! I know, right?! We're so awesome," said an excited Ruby, turning to Robin beside her. "And you, Robin! You're like SUPER awesome! Swords, sorcery, AND tactics! Is there anything you can't do?"
"You're no weakling, that's for sure." Knuckles said.
"Indeed. Perhaps you might even be capable of an explanation for how you came here?" Frederick asked of Robin to answer.
"Maybe he fell through a portal like us and lost his memory?" Peter suggested, only to receive a serious glare from the great knight. "Oh, c'mon! You still don't believe us?"
"I understand your skepticism, Sir Frederick. And I cannot explain why only some knowledge has returned to me. But please, believe me. I have shared all that I know." Robin said to the Shepherds.
"You fought to save Ylissean lives. Both you and these Avengers. My heart says that's enough." Chrom said with a comforting smile.
"And your mind, milord? Will you now heed its council as well?" The wary Frederick asked.
"Frederick, the Shepherds could use their talents. We've brigands and unruly neighbors, all looking to bloody our soil. Would you really have us lose such an able tactician and powerful allies? Besides, I believe their story, as odd as it might be." Chrom said, firmly believing the newcomers' stories and belief.
"Thank goodness." Blake sighed.
"Th-Thank you, Chrom." Robin thanked his new friend.
"So how about it? Will you join us, Robin," asked the blue-haired leader of the Shepherds.
"I would be honored." Robin happily nodded.
Chrom nods back before turning to the D-Avengers before him, "And how about you, Avengers? Would you join us as well?"
"Sure, why not, since I'm certain we were summoned here for a reason. That, and we need to collect the Chaos Emeralds which are probably scattered across this world. Oops." Spidey said, agreeing to help out the Shepherds.
"Chaos Emeralds?" Chrom questioned the details of these gemstones he's talking about.
"It's a long story. We'll tell you later, but first, I want to know something. How do you know my name is Spider-Man? I don't exactly have a nametag on me, do I?" Spidey asked, wanting to know how Chrom knows his hero identity before he got the chance to actually tell him.
"You're the Legendary Hero-Spider spoken in legends, correct?" Chrom responded, shocking the Avengers that Spider-Man is somehow some legend in this world.
"Spider-Man's a legend?" Tails asked.
"This guy?! Seriously?!" Weiss pointed to the webhead.
"Me? Legendary? I've been called amazing and spectacular, but legendary? Even I find that hard to believe, especially when I've NEVER been to this world." Spidey said.
"Your appearance marks a remarkable similarity to the ancient spider-warrior that saved our world centuries ago. The Other, I'm correct? And you're his destined host?" Chrom asked.
"Wha-? Ero? Is that true?" Spidey asked his spider-other. To proper answer his human host, the Other summons himself in humanoid spirit form, gathering the shock of the four Shepherds.
"Whoa! Is that really him? This 'Other' you speak of?" Robin asked.
"Hmm. I knew this world felt familiar. Yes. I took part in a great battle upon these very plains 1,000 years ago." Ero answered.
"Oh cool. That's awesome." Sonic said.
"By the gods, I never thought the day would come the Legendary Hero-Spider and his sacred Other would present us with his presence. Forgive me for my false accusations earlier." Frederick respectively bowed before Peter and Ero, making the former a bit uncomfortable.
"There's no need for that. I've never been one for formalities." Ero said to Freddy.
"Yes, of course. Sorry." The knight replied, standing back up on his feet.
"This is really weird." Peter said, still can't believing he's a legend in a world he never visited before but his other did, making him wonder what else this world knows about him.
"Changing topics, those brigands with the weird accents. Who were they exactly?" Blake asked, wanting to relieve the stress Peter might be going through at the moment after finding out about his legendary status.
"Plegian, I'm afraid." Frederick answered the cat faunus.
"Plegian? What's that?" Robin asked.
"Plegia is Ylisse's westerly neighbor. They send small bands into our territory, hoping to instigate a war." Chrom replied.
"That's not good." Yang said.
"No kidding. Don't these creeps have anything better to spend their lives on?" Sonic asked with his arms crossed.
"Unfortunately, no. And what's worse, the poor townsfolk suffer because of them. Totally innocent, and total helpless…" Lissa said with a sad face.
"We understand. Trust us, and don't worry about it. With all of us working together, Avengers and Shepherds, we'll avenge and protect the sheep, if that makes any sense. So try not to look so glum, okay Lissy?" Peter said to brighten up the grim mood in the air.
Those kind words were enough to brighten Lissa's spirits back to its highest top, "Yeah, thank you. Guess the stories about your kind words are also true, Spidey."
"I am really interested how much you all know about me." Peter said.
BGM-Fire Emblem Awakening OST-But, Frederick, it's nearly dark!
As the two groups were talking, a villager walks up to greet them, wanting to thank them for saving their lives at their darkest hour, "Milord, please! You must stay the night! We are simple folk of simple means, but we would gladly toast your valor with a feast!"
"Ah yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" Knuckles said, extremely looking forward to a big feast.
"A most generous offer, sir, and no doubt your hospitality would be grand…But I'm afraid we must hurry back to Ylisstol." Frederick kindly rejected their offer, but Lissa and Ruby accept their kindness right away by asking what they want to eat.
"Dark meat only for me, medium well, and no salt in the soup." Lissa ordered her food right away.
"And I want what she's having with a side of cookies-." Ruby also starts ordering her food.
"Guys, we're not staying!" Weiss told the two hungry girls.
"Wait, what?! We're not staying?!" Ruby asked, looking disappointed.
"But, Frederick, it's nearly dark!" Lissa protested to the stubborn knight.
Freddy knight chuckled, "When night falls, we'll camp. Eat off the land, make our bed of twigs and the like... I believe you mentioned you would be "getting used to this"?"
"Frederick? Sometimes I hate you." Lissa said, getting a laugh from her new Avenger pals.
"You've quite the stern lieutenant there." Robin said.
"Yeah, well, 'stern' is one name for it. I can think of a few others!" She said.
"Like moron, meat-headed, a dork in some ways?" Spidey mocked the knight.
"Yeah, those." Lissa giggled.
"Frederick only smiles when he's about to bring down the axe." Chrom smiled.
"What? On his toenail?" Sonic joked.
Frederick lets out a fake cough, "You do realize I AM still present?"
"Oh, we realize." Chrom smiled at his guardian knight.
"We're gonna LOVE messing with ya, Freddy." Spidey said with a smile behind his mask.
"Wonderful." He said sarcastically, causing everyone to laugh once more. "Now then, shall we be going?" He asked the heroes.
"All right, all right. Ready to go, everyone? The capital isn't far." Chrom said to the Avengers and Robin.
"Heh. With my speed, we'll already be there. Let's go, everyone!" Sonic boasted, already racing towards the capital by himself at sonic speed.
"Sonic! Have you forgotten we're not ALL crazily hyperactive!? Get back here!" Spidey shouted at the speeding hedgehog, joining everyone to catch up with Sonic to a brand-new adventure in this new world.

Spider-Man: Sup. It's your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. On our way to the capital of this world, we decided to take a nightly break, that is until we were interrupted by these strange zombie guys from out of nowhere. And if that isn't weird enough, some guy calling himself Marth shows up from the exact same portal that brought us here. Who is this guy, and why does he have Chrom's sword?

Spider-Man: That's a cool mask you're wearing, but not as cool as mine I'm afraid. Wanna trade still?
KFX Here: So far when it comes to this story, I've only written the outline as far to the end of the first arc of the original main story. Once I'm done with that, I'll think of how I'm gonna write the second arc.
Like I said before in the FAQS page, only Chrom's getting married since it was required in the original story. I'm not so good in romance plotlines, which is part of the reason why I'm not pairing up anyone else but it would be a clusterfuck.
I also recommend you all read D-Avengers: Avenging Knights, which was a rewrite of my very first crossover story so it could have better dialogue and continuity fixes since it takes place shortly after Spider-Island DX but before this story.
