Issue 6: Devourer of Totems
Ylisse's Capital
Now that they've gotten Ferox's full support, the united warriors made their successful retreat back to Ylisse to inform the exalt of the excellent news.
"…Then Regna Ferox will support Ylisse?" Emmeryn questioned Chrom, who stands alongside his sister, Spidey, Sonic, and Ruby in the throne room.
"With full interest and cupcakes, ma'am." Spidey joked.
"Thank you, everyone. I knew sending you all was the right choice." Emm smiled in joy.
"You should see Ferox's warriors! Perhaps now our people will be safe from-."
"Your Grace," Phila interrupts Chrom, hurriedly rushing towards the heroes and the exalt, "M-Milord! Forgive me, but I bring alarming news!" She said, exhausted, gasping for air.
"What happened? Is something wrong?" Ruby asked the leader of the pegasus knights.
Phila managed to regain her breath and answers the huntress with dire news, "Plegian soldiers have been sighted inside our southwest border! They attacked a village in Themis and abducted the Duke's daughter."
"The Duke's daughter? Who's that again?" Sonic wondered, unaware he actually met he recently.
"T-That's Maribelle!" Lissa said, terrified to hear her overprotective friend has been kidnapped.
"You mean the yapping lady that called me a cow?" Spidey casually asked, remembering the insult.
"Chrom, we have to do something!" Lissa turned to her brother for help.
"There's more: King Gangrel of Plegia claims Lady Maribelle invaded HIS country. He demands we repay reparations for this "insult."" Phila gave more bad news for the heroes to dread.
"Pfft. Does this Gangrel guy really think we'll buy that? He must be really asking for a butt-whopping." Sonic said, cockily not believing the mad king's claims.
"Peace, Sonic. We must keep our wits about us." Emmeryn calmed the hedgehog to not do anything rash.
"We should put a sword in his gut and be done with it," Chrom responded, "The Mad King has been trying to provoke war with Ylisse at every step! He won't stop until he drags this whole continent to hell with him!"
"I agree with the prince, Your Grace. We must demonstrate to Plegia that such actions have consequences." Phila responded, agreeing with Chrom's plan to simply kill the mad king.
"No! We're not doing that! I understand where you're coming, Chrom, but killing him won't solve anything, it'll just make things worse! Trust me! There are other ways we can settle this without taking a life! We don't have to stoop to their level." Spidey said, wholeheartedly rejecting the notion to take a life, even if it's against a monster.
"Spider-Man's right. We can't risk starting a war." Ruby agreed with the wall-crawler.
"Yes. If we give him his war, then we lose, no matter the outcome. Our last conflict nearly ruined the halidom. It left Ylisseans homeless and starving. We cannot repeat that mistake. I will offer parley with King Gangrel." Emmeryn proposed, shocking everyone in the room.
"Emm, no! You can't!" Lissa argued.
"Are you SURE that's a good idea?!" Spidey asked the exalt.
"Weren't you that believed there are other ways to settle agreements without taking a life?" Emm replied with Spidey's earlier comment.
"Yeah, but from what I've heard, this Gangrel person sounds as crazy as Norman Osborn. Talking to him is nigh impossible." Spidey replied.
"So we either choose to march to war or leave Lady Maribelle to die? No, I will not accept that." Emmeryn said, causing Peter to sigh in defeat.
"If that what you wish, Your Grace, so be it. I know you will stand always by your own principles. Pray, allow the pegasus knights to accompany you, though." Phila said.
"I'm going, too. Someone has to save you from your good intentions." Chrom offered.
"And I want to be there for you AND Maribelle!" Lissa offered to as well.
"And we'll join too!" Ruby said, wanting to help the exalt.
"Let's show this Mad King never to mess with us!" Sonic smirked.
"I'll bring the popcorn." Spidey joked.
"As you wish. Thank you all. Your strength will be mine." Emm smiled, happy to have such good siblings and friends by her side.
That night, after a little while getting prepared, Chrom, Robin, Lissa, as well as Spidey, Knuckles, and Yang walking through the halls until they stopped to face each other.
"Well then! Is everyone ready to go? It's a long march through the western mountains to the Plegian border." Chrom asked everyone.
Yang groans, "I'm getting tired of all this walking. We should've brought the Quinjet. Then we would've ride the skies in style." While she was talking, the group notices a young mage hurriedly running towards them.
"Hey. Who're you, squirt?" Knuckles asked this little man.
The mage ignores the red echidna and turns his attention to the prince, "Captain! I'm all packed! When do we leave?!" He asked Chrom.
"Ricken? How did you…Go back inside. You're no old enough for this mission." Chrom advised him to stay in the capital.
"Yet we're okay bringing two, hyperactive 15-year-olds and a two-tailed, eight-year-old fox?" Spidey asked.
"Your team. Not mine." Chrom casually replied.
"But, Captain! You know my skill with magic! You know I can handle myself!" Ricken pleaded him to let him join their journey to the Plegian country.
"I'd feel safer with your magic here, protecting the garrison. All right? We're off, then. Be good." Chrom said as everyone but Ricken leave for their quest.
"Bye, kid! Remember to feed the fish!" Spidey joked.
""Be good"? "Feed the fish"? Gods, how old do they think I am? Well, I'll show him just how good I can be!" Ricken said to himself.
Plegian Border
BGM-Fire Emblem Awakening OST-"Now, that's a declaration of war if I've ever heard one!"
After a few hours trekking through the harsh mountains that'll take them to the border, the united heroes arrive with the famous exalt to meet with King Gangrel and his seductive-looking subordinate, standing on a rock formation above them.
"What's this, then? The exalt herself, in all her radiance? I fear I must shield my eyes! Bwa ha ha ha!" The Mad King laughed.
"Ugh. He really is like Goblin. Just as ugly-looking too. He has a stench that would make Wolverine vomit." Spidey joked.
"And look," Tails directs them to a distinct yellow gem stationed around Gangrel's necklace, "He has a Chaos Emerald!"
Chrom growled in rage to see the Mad King now possess mad power, almost making it impossible to retrieve it without making it seem like an act for war, "I dreaded this would happen."
"Peace Chrom," Emm calmed her young brother, focusing her attention back to the Mad King, "King Gangrel, I've come for the truth of this unfortunate incident between us." She said to him.
"The truth? I can give you the truth." Aversa responded in her king's stead.
"Perhaps milady might first share her name?" Emm requested.
"You may call me Aversa." She answered.
"Very well, Aversa. Is Maribelle unharmed?" The exalt asked, wanting to know if her fellow friend is alive and well.
"Who? Oh yes, that little blonde brat." Gangrel directs their attention to nearby Maribelle tied up to a brigand. Mysteriously enough, this barbarian seems to be wearing advanced, futuristic versions of his ordinary armor and weapons.
"Huh? Spidey." Weiss sees what Spidey sees on that high-tech brigand.
"That brigand is wearing some advanced tech. Where did they get it?" Spidey wondered, silently surprised that Plegia gained access to some highly advanced technology, the likes he didn't think could appear in this world.
"Unhand me, you gutter-born troglodyte!" Maribelle tries to wiggle free from her predicament but fails massively.
"Maribelle!" Lissa calls out, gathering the noblewoman's attention.
"Lissa? Darling, is that you?" Maribelle asked.
"This girl crossed the Plegian border without our consent. And what's more... She wounded the brave Plegian soldiers who sought only to escort her safely home." Aversa spoke.
"LIES! You speak nothing but lies, hag! Did they not teach the meaning of the word "truth" in wretched-crone school?!" Maribelle retorted.
"…You see? No manners at all. Such a nasty little bird simply had to be caged." Aversa slyly smirked.
"Such a violent temper speaks to her guilt. This will call for a weighty punishment. And if she were to later confess to being an Ylisse an spy? My goodness! It would take an act of CONSIDERABLE good faith to repair our relations." Gangrel said.
"I have done nothing wrong! It is they who should confess! They are the ones who invaded Ylisse. They razed an entire village! When I attempted to intervene, they took me and dragged me across the border. Let the plundered shops and charred homes of that village serve as my proof!" Maribelle informed her friends of what really happened, speaking the truth while Gangrel does not.
"That would only prove Ylisse has a bandit problem—something I hear oft of late... But indeed, tonight I shall weep salty tears into my pillow for your dead villagers." Gangrel said with a devious smile plastered on his disgusting face.
"Your Grace, please!" Maribelle pleaded.
"Peace, Maribelle. I believe you," Emmeryn gently calmed her with a raised palm, turning her attention back to the Plegian King, "King Gangrel, I request that you release this woman at once. Surely you and I can sort out these affairs without the need of hostages." She kindly asked for a gentle negotiation between the two rulers.
"Without so much as an apology? Why should I even bother with parley? I'm within my rights to have her head this instant and be home in time for supper." Gangrel said.
"C'mon, kingman. I'm sure we can work something out," Spidey said, taking out half-eaten popcorn he made before the trip, "Want some popcorn?"
"Spider-Man! This is no time for games!" Chrom advised him to shut up.
"Control your dog, my dear, before he gets someone hurt." Gangrel joked with the exalt, angering Chrom by the second, "Now then, Your Graceliness. Perhaps we can arrange a trade? You give me the Fire Emblem, and I return Mari Contrary here in one piece." He asked for.
"Fire Emblem?" Ruby repeated, looking confused, never hearing about this "Fire Emblem" before.
"You would ask for Ylisse's royal treasure? But why?" Emmeryn asked of his purpose if she, ever, gave the mad man their most sacred relic.
"Because I know the legend! The Fire Emblem is the key to having all one's wishes realized." Gangrel answered.
"But you already have a gem of unlimited power wrapped around your neck. Why do you need the Fire Emblem," asked a perplexed Yang.
"I have desired the Fire Emblem for years. YEARS! ...Yet my birthday comes and goes each year, and nothing from Ylisse. Heheh…" Gangrel chuckled.
"Maybe if you stop acting crazy and act like a good boy, we MIGHT consider giving it to you." Sonic said.
"The Emblem's power is meant for a single purpose, King Gangrel: to save the world and its people at their hour of most desperate need. Would you claim a more noble wish?" Emmeryn asked.
"I want what every Plegian wants—a grisly end for every last Ylissean! What could be more noble than that?" Gangrel asked.
"An everyday, 70% sale at Walmart?" Spidey joked, confusing both rulers for a moment, since they rightfully have no idea what he's talking about.
"I was being rhetorical! Surely you have not forgotten what the last exalt did to my people? Your father named us heathens! His "crusade" across Plegia butchered countless of my subjects and my kin!" Gangrel told them.
Emmeryn stood silent for a moment, as she knows what part of what he said is not all wrong, "…I have never denied Ylisse's past wrongdoings. But I have sworn to never repeat those mistakes. Ours is now a realm of peace." She said.
"Yours is now a haven of hypocrisy! Now give me the Fire Emblem!" Gangrel demanded, losing his nerve.
"No, Your Grace! I'd sooner die than act as a bargaining ship for this filthy reprobate!" Maribelle said, rather sacrificing herself for the good of the kingdom.
"No, Maribelle…" Emmeryn said.
"Ugh... Taaaaaalk talk-talk-talk-talk. It's time to speak louder than words! This negotiation is over, Your Luminosity! I shall have the Emblem if I have to pry it from your shiny dead hands!" Gangrel said, crushing his right hand in fury.
"Not happening, Gangogoblin! Sonic! Get Maribelle!" Spidey ordered.
"I got it!" Sonic revs up a figure-eight and runs through the wind to rescue the Duke's daughter, but out of nowhere, rapid-fire bullets fire at him from above, causing him to wildly dance to avoid getting shot. The hedgehog quickly spins back to the others when they find themselves confronted by three, highly futuristic, robots that resemble Plegia's own army packed with guns for arms, accompanied by three armored up barbarian men.
"What the?!" Sonic asked, surprised just as his friends.
"What are those things?!" Lissa asked, scared.
"Robots?! Here?!" Blake said, stunned but draws out her blade regardless.
Chrom joins Sonic, Spidey, and Ruby to easily dispatch the robots and goons with a single blow. "Stay back! Or you'll all suffer the same fate!" Chrom threatened.
"Now that's a declaration of war if I've ever heard one... A big, messy war that will bleed you Ylisseans dry. Bwa ha ha!" Gangrel laughed himself, joyful he will finally get his war.
"Hold on there, your majesty! Where did you get this tech? I doubt you and your pathetic kingdom TOGETHER are smart enough to make something THIS complicated, even with that Chaos Emerald!" Spidey asked.
"What? Don't you believe we can get smarter? We're not all dumb, you know, bug-boy." Gangrel laughed as he leaves his upgraded army to squander the Shepherds and its Avengers.
BGM End
Close by, Aversa approaches the handcuffed Maribelle with a daunting smile. "Poor, stupid girl... Are you really worth fighting a war over? Years from now, you'll be remembered only as she who destroyed House Ylisse." She said to taunted Maribelle.
"No... That's not... Oh, Lissa... Please, no…" She sadly said in disbelief.
BGM-Fire Emblem Awakening OST-I mean it! GO!
But unexpectedly, a powerful wind spell incapacitates the brigand holding Maribelle, which is quickly revealed to be Ricken approaching her.
"Maribelle! Go! You're free!" Ricken told her.
"RICKEN?! What are you doing here?" Maribelle asked about his sudden appearance.
"Just run! We can talk about it later!" Ricken replied.
"Oh, is this your little boyfriend? Isn't he just precious." Aversa mocked.
"Don't talk down to me, witch!" Ricken attacks the cocky witch with his wind magic, forcing her to her knees.
"Nngh! W-Wing magic?" She said in pain.
"Come on, Maribelle!" Ricken said, not wanting to waste any more time.
"Right!" Maribelle agreed and the two ran off, leaving Aversa behind.
"Wasn't expecting that, weren't you?"
Aversa turns around to see the dreaded totem hunter, Morlun appear out of nowhere behind her. "Oh, it's you. It doesn't matter. Our soldiers have them outnumbered. The brats will be dead long before they can reach their comrades. What about you?" She said with confidence.
"I'm ready to begin my hunt." Morlun said, casually walking to the battlefield to fight Spider-Man.
BGM End
Out at the warzone, the united heroes are working together to take down the Plegian army while King Gangrel laughs at their futile efforts from afar next to his general. "I have my war! Captain Orton! Remain here, and take down as many Ylisseans as you can. You can expect reinforcements from the forts as well. Now, do your best—at doing your worst!" He cackled once more before leaving the battlefield.
"We have to rescue Maribelle! Spider-Man! Lead a team to save her! Sumia! Accompanying him for aerial support!" Chrom ordered after cutting down another Plegian robot.
"On it, Captain! Let's go, Spider-Man!" Sumia grabs onto Blake's hand and flies over the field.
"Let's go, Sonic!" Spidey calls out to his favorite hedgehog.
"Ride on!" Sonic replied and the two of them follow the friendly pegasus to Maribelle's direction, beating a couple of Gangrel's new upgraded men.
On the middle section of the border, Ricken protects Maribelle with his wind magic against the mecha Plegians. "What are these creatures? I've never encountered anything like them!" Ricken said. Before a Blaster Plegian melts his face off, Spidey quickly arrived and webbed its face up shut so Sonic could easily blow it up with a spin attack.
"Spider-Man! You're here!" Ricken said, happily, just as Blake and Sumia land on the ground.
"Ricken?! What are you doing here?! Ah, well, it doesn't matter. You did good protecting Maribelle. You have my respect." Spidey thanked his young ally, making the mage happy, but before the spider could do anything else, he feels the strangest, heaviest danger his Spider-Sense ever triggered before, so much so it starts to give his inner other, Ero a massive headache.
"Spidey!" Blake shouted.
"Are you hurt?! Do you need to be healed?!" Maribelle asked in great concern for the webhead, despite not liking him so much the first time they met, seeing him in this much agony puts her opinion of him aside for the moment.
"Spider-Sense going nuts…Screaming to hide…HIDE-!" And without ANY of them noticing, a mysterious force punches Spider-Man in the face so hard, he's flung across the border straight smacking to a large boulder, collapsing the entire mountainside on top of the webhead that temporarily stops the fight between the Shepherds and the Plegians, as they want to know who was powerful enough to cause that.
"Spidey! You okay, dude?" Sonic and his team race towards Peter, helping the knocked-out wall-crawler up on his feet as he dwells in immense pain and agony.
"AH! AHHH! My face! I think it's broken!" Peter said, wallowing in unbearable pain.
"What?! That can't be?!" Blake said in disbelief.
"Let me heal you!" Maribelle quickly takes out her magic staff, mending the Spider's wounds to almost full health, lessening his pain greatly, but the scars are still there. "Are you better now?"
"I…I think so. Oh man…I've never been hit that hard before. That was the hardest punch I've ever felt, and I've fought the Hulk and Thor!" Spidey stated, never in his life as a superhero has he encountered such a trembling menace.
"Who are we talking about here?" Sonic asked.
BGM-Spider-Man 3 Game OST-Black Suit Theme #1
Spidey slowly directs his eyes towards the man in question, standing about 10 feet away from them. "Him." He points everyone to Morlun, glowing sinister eyes and flaunting his blue coat.
Inside Peter's mind, the Other sees Morlun from the outside world and, for the first time in a very long time, is left completely speechless and stunned to no end. 'No…It cannot be…' He mumbled to himself.
Not in the mood to talk since a mountain collapsed on him, Spidey leaps towards Morlun's front, delivering a three-punch combo straight to his own face, but to everyone's surprise, Morlun didn't felt a thing, just stands there, smiling. He gently retaliates by pressing his left palm on Peter's chest, blasting him across the area with a simple push.
"That's my friend you're beating on! You're not going to get away with this!" Sonic snarled, joining Blake and Sumia in a blitzing assault against this mysterious force, but none of their attacks lay a scratch on him as he simply stands in place, taking all the hits but not flinching a muscle. "Wha-?!" Sonic is left stunned his lightning fast attacks didn't leave a mark, punched aside by Morlun's right hook while Sumia gets kicked off her horse.
"Hey-!" Blake was left distracted long enough for Morlun to lift her by the throat.
"Ahhh. A Faunus. It's been ages since I fed on your kind." Morlun smiled, somehow knowledge about Faunus.
"Huh?" Blake responded with a stunned facial expression. Thankfully, Ricken comes to her rescue, releasing a powerful wind magic that was enough to knock the cat hero off Morlun's grasp. The young mage tries another wind blast but Morlun effortlessly dispels it with a simple hand motion. Before the Inheritor could have the chance to kill the child, he finds his feet webbed to the ground after Spider-Man arrives back to the scene.
"Y'know, most of the guys I fight spend a lot of time telling me why they're doing it. Their motives, the reasons they don't like me, how they never got enough love as kids, which they didn't deserve because they were psychos even then-." Spidey stops rambling for a minute to avoid Morlun's axe swipe that leaves a crack on the earth. "Missed me, by the way. -The usual boring, self-indulgent bad guy rant. So, sunshine, you got anything you want to tell ol' Doc Spidey? I promise I'll keep it strictly confidential. Just you and me, and the staff at Bellevue." He finished jabbering, but his words don't seem to interest Morlun one bit, not at the slightest.
BGM End
"I like you. You're funny." Morlun complimented the heroic spider.
"Wha?"
"That's not good. A bad guy admitting Spider-Man is funny has to be powerful." Blake said, clenching onto her wounded left arm.
"This is not gonna end well." Sonic said.
"I have no special desire to see you dead." Morlun admitted.
"Finally. Something in common." Spidey responded.
"It is, however, quite necessary."
"Oh."
BGM-Spider-Man 3 Game OST-Lizard Tension (Part 1)
'Parker.' Ero starts speaking to Peter telepathically.
'Ero?'
'Listen to me, and listen well! Do not hold back against this one! He is a force beyond nature! Everything you've experience up until now PALES to his terrifying might! So for once in your life, shut up and fight,' advised the spider monster living inside Peter's body.
"Right!" Spidey replied, getting serious now. Spider-Man unleashes the full force of his arachnid might against this invincible foe, throwing every super-powered punch he can muster in a vain effort to defeat him, but nothing seems to be working, he keeps on coming, countering all of Spider-Man's strongest attacks with an attack 20x harder. Even when Peter gets a direct hit off, it doesn't mean a thing to Morlun. The Inheritor doesn't talk, doesn't snarl, doesn't yell, gloat, cackle, threaten or mock. He just keeps coming.
Eventually Spidey starts to wear himself out while Morlun's still fully fresh, more than strong enough to casually slam kick the hero's left arm, breaking it to make him gasp in sheer pain. "Too…strong…" Peter said, falling flat on his cracked ribs, defeated.
"Now you've done it!" Sonic proclaimed, blazing at Morlun at top speed, but even the world's fastest hedgehog can't seem to land a single hit on this hunter as he moves around at top speed. "No way! He's not just strong, he's fast too!" Sonic said, getting a devastating kick to the face by Morlun.
Riding on the pegasus, Blake and Sumia work together in an effort to end Morlun's rampage, but to no one's shock they were easily dispatched after Morlun casually grabs the winged animal and throws it aside like it was trash.
"Ugh…That's impossible. Someone like this shouldn't even exist." Blake muttered in an effort to keep herself conscious.
Not far from this ferocious fight, the Shepherds and the remaining D-Avengers are close to taking down Gangrel's men when they notice Spidey and his team not looking so hot. "Chrom! Spider-Man's in trouble!" Robin shouted.
"I know," replied Chrom while he clashes with Captain Orton of the Plegian Army, kneeing him in the chest so he could hurriedly knock him out with a single punch so the rest of the heroes could assist Spider-Man.
"This matters not. Soon war will be upon…your soil…Heh Heh…" Orton weakly said before losing consciousness.
Before he could feast on Spider-Man's weakened body, Morlun has to deal with the other remaining heroes on the field by his lonesome, but he doesn't seem worried in the slightest. The likes of their strongest warriors were slammed to the ground without a care in the world. The magicians and sorcerers were soundly defeated when their magic couldn't slow this silent predator down. And the healers, he simply ignores the young maidens as they are too scared to move a muscle.
"You should tend to them once this is over." Morlun advised a stunned Lissa.
Angered to see his friends hurt, Chrom soundly stabs Morlun straight through the chest, but to his increased shock, Morlun smiles, looking alive and well despite having a sword stuck between his organs.
"This sword is familiar. The person who wielded it before looked similar to you." Morlun said, referring to the first exalt as he pulls out the sword from his chest, tossing it back to Chrom.
"Hey! Chowderhead! Surprise!" A random, weakened Spider-Man appears out of nowhere, forcefully slamming Morlun's head to the ground with his non-broken arm, leaving a small crater, but despite even that, this vampire-looking hunter shrugs it off and gets back up. "I have to give you credit. You are one, stubborn moron who can't take the hint that no one here likes you." After not receiving a reply, or a growl from this mysterious foe, Spidey unsheathes one of his wrist stingers to stab Morlun in the shoulder, actually getting him to flinch from it.
"Ah. It is true, then. You possess the Other," Morlun smiled, grabbing Peter by the throat, "I'm going to savor you for days, Spider-Totem."
"You don't have to do this. I can always buy you lunch. Let me check my bank account. Did I even open a bank account?" Spidey joked while trying to gasp for air, slowly feeling like his life force is being drained.
'Morlun, I think they got the message,' Out of nowhere, Grimadoom speaks to Morlun telepathically so the heroes won't know he's here too, 'After all, the war has just begun, and it's no fun if the big players are eliminated before the main event. Come back now. You can deal with him later. I promise you.'
"Fine," Morlun obliged, dropping Spider-Man to the ground, leaving the broken Spider to Chrom's care, "I'll see you again real soon, Totem. No matter where you hide, I'll always find you. I do not tire. I do not grow weary. I do not give up. Sooner or later, in about a day or about a week, I will find you, and you will die. But I give you my solemn word. It's nothing personal."
"Nothing personal…You have an odd way of showing it…" Spidey spoke while Morlun casually leaves the premise to the unknown.
BGM End
Shortly after the battle against Morlun, the united warriors have been fully healed thanks to the healers of the team, now back to full strength and ready to leave back to the castle.
"Spider-Man! Are you hurt?!" Ruby asked in great concern for her big brother figure.
"Do you need to be healed again?" Lissa asked in equal amount of concern.
"Whaddya talking about? I feel great!" Spidey said, nonchalantly moving his arm cast to point of breaking another nerve, "Ow! That hurt." He said in pain.
"Get some rest, Sir Spider. From what I've heard, it'll be but a few short hours until you've fully recovered." Maribelle genuinely said to the Spider-Hero.
"Thanks. I'm just glad your safe despite us getting on the wrong foot." Spidey said, remembering they didn't start off as the best of friends when they first met.
"It's not your fault. I am simply protective of Lissa. My treasure is very sensitive, and... Wait. Am I really justifying myself to a commoner? Gods... Yes, well, I do...apologize for being curt. And... And... And you have my thanks for your part in the rescue. There, I said it!" Maribelle, for once, apologized, earning a nice smile from the outworldly arachnid.
Afterwards, Spidey approaches Tails studying a destroyed Plegian bot while Chrom, and Frederick are talking with Emmeryn. "So, who built this stuff?" Spidey knelt down next to the genius fox.
"I don't know. Its tech is nothing I've ever studied before. They seem to have been built from those rare materials we saw earlier, powered by a Chaos Drive using the Chaos Emerald's energy. One thing's for certain, the person who created this is not from this world. We should watch our backs." Tails explained.
"No kidding." Spidey replied before walking over to Chrom and Frederick talking with Emmeryn.
"Forgive me, Emm. I acted rashly." Chrom apologized to his dear exalt sister.
"Don't take the blame yourself, Chrom. I also acted too immaturely." Spidey said.
"It's all right, you two. King Gangrel is the one at fault here. You all were only protecting me." Emm told them.
"The Mad King will be rallying his forces, if they have not mobilized already. I suggest we make haste back to Ylisstol and discuss our strategy." Frederick advised.
"Of course, Frederick. It seems war is upon us. We must protect the Ylissean people at all costs." Emmeryn agreed.
"By the way, Spider-Man. Who was the person we just fought then left?" Chrom asked the web-slinger.
"Wish I knew, but kinda glad I didn't, but Ero said he's gonna tell us once we get back home, and from how he sounded, this guy is MAJOR bad news, mostly for me." Spidey ominously said before gets ready to trek down the border to head back to Ylisse for some rest before the war.

Sonic: I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. The guy we barely escaped our lives with is called Morlun, and he seems to be out for Spidey. I dunno how we could beat someone who's effectively immortal, but I'm confident we'll somehow do it. Huh? Hey! It's Marth! What's he doing here? Does he have something to tell us?
Next time on D-Avengers: The Fell Awakening:
Foreseer
Sonic: Whoa. Not what I was expecting behind the mask.
KFX Here: Morlun beaten the entire Shepherds and Avengers while wondering if he left the oven on. How will he ever be beaten? Like I said before, Morlun is just the secondary villain of this story that will repeatedly kick Spider-Man's ass because that's what he's most known for.
