Issue 27: Clash! Time-Transcending Brawl

Above Corrupted Little Planet

The malicious fell dragon controlling time flies all around Little Planet, ready to destroy all of time. But first, he has to deal with some heroic pests that have been teleported to his neck by his benevolent divine counterpart, Naga.

"IT WOULD SEEM MORLUN HAS FAILED…" Grima noticed that the Inheritors have been defeated by weakling prey. "NO MATTER. YOU WILL BE DESTROYED BY MY POWER, WRETCHED SON OF NAGA. AND YOU, SPIDER, WE WILL FINALLY SETTLE THE SCORE."

Dr. Doom takes a second to spot the Grima-possessed Robin all the way at the other side of the neck, still looking as corrupted as before thanks to the cracked Genesis Stone infused to his body, forming many grotesque veins across the chest area. "The infection is growing worse. The Genesis Stone has corrupted his evil essence. There isn't much time."

"Are you ready, Robin?" Chrom asked his favorite tactician.

"As ready as I will ever be, Chrom. Let's finish this!" Robin nodded.

"And how about you, Spider-Man? Are you sure your plan will work?" Chrom asked the wall-crawler about his plan to bring back Robin after he kills Grima.

"Absolutely. But, uh, just in the small chance it backfires and we blow up the universe, I just wanna tell ya, it's been fun!" Spidey shamelessly rubs the back of his head, not completely sure his plan will actually work.

"I have faith in your luck we will succeed." Chrom gave an assuring smile to the bugman.

"Faith in his luck? Yeah. We're definitely going to die." Scarlet Spider quipped.

G-Robin raises one hand to the sky, then while he swifts it back down, he simultaneously attacks all party members with critical force before freezing them in time. "You just…had to say something…" Blake weakly ridiculed Kaine for speaking about their deaths.

"Oh…shut the hell up…" Kaine barely replied to his cat mentor.

"…Wh-What…What manner of magic…" Chrom tries to stand up, but his wounds and Grima's time freeze prevents him from moving an inch.

"Magic?" Basilio pants heavily. "That was a damned…catastrophe…He's weakened us all…Froze us in time…He's too…strong…rrgh…"

"His power has completely exceeded our analysis…" Ock remarked, unable to move.

"I can't be beaten by this…name-stealer…" Grimadoom said, as even he's been heavily weakened by Grima's power.

"It cannot end like this... I won't have...all our struggle...be for naught..." Frederick struggled to move a finger, but is too weakened to do so.

"We can't…give up…we have to…keep fighting…" Yang said, completely tired on the floor.

"No... This darkness... The future is upon us! Oh gods... F-Father..." Lucina said, starting lose consciousness.

Grima mocks his defeated enemies with a soft chuckle, but to his interest, Spider-Man slowly stands up through all the pain with the help of his Other, barely able to break out of the time freeze. "Spider-Man?" He said.

"GRIMAAAAAA!" Spidey screamed, enraged. "Get ready, 'cause I'm gonna break down all your clocks!"

"Spider-Man!" Robin said while on his weak knees.

Grima chuckles. "I can see why your cowardice Other chose you. I like you, Spider-Man."

"Enough of this foolishness! This is between me and you! Leave the humans out of this! Let us settle this ancient feud of ours once and for all!" Ero told his arch-rival.

"Of course. I've been looking forward to this rematch for a thousand years." Grima smirked.

BGM End

Spidey's and Ero's eyes glow brightly, indicating they are about to perform Perfect Finalization. They surrounded themselves in an energy cocoon before immediately breaking out of it as the badass-looking Shin Black Ace.

"Shin Black Ace, correct? What an intriguing level of power. A mortal, who has achieved Perfect Synchronization, has gained the strength to surpass the gods." Grima responded to Spider-Man's Totem transformation.

"Keep talking, until I send you to your grave." Shin Spider-Man threatened the fell dragon with the cackles of electricity surroundings his fused body.

"You make it sound like I'm not so powerful. Watch and learn. If you gain that level of power, then so can I." Grima said as he gets in a charging up position to boost his powers to new heights.

BGM-Dragon Ball Super OST-The Birth of a God

"Wait. Are you-?" Spidey is quick to understand what Grima's about to do.

Grima starts screaming immensely as he begins his sinister transformation using the Genesis Stone. The skies rain down with booming lightning storms that strike all of Little Planet and Earth, causing massive earthquakes that shake the heavens themselves.

"What is going on?!" Knuckles asked after Grima surrounds himself in his roaring, malicious energy.

"He's…He's changing…" Lucina looks terrified as Grima's transformation is nearly complete, barely able to spot his new maniacal design. "Into a new form…" She said as the smoke starts to clear after Grima's Totem Change.

Both the heroes and villains take a long, awe-shaking stare at Grima's new hybrid form, a monstrous state between his original, humanoid form and his demonic fell dragon form. He appears roughly the same size as Robin, still possessing the same facial structure as his host, with the veiny Genesis Stone still infused to his chest, along with parts of his original clothing deep to his skin, and multiple, smaller eyes circling above his corrupted eyes, now with black scleras and dark red pupils along with black lines going down the eyes. His white hair has turned a spiked up corrupted, black, and now has a tail and blackish colored legs.

BGM-Dragon Ball Super OST-Zamasu's Overwhelming Power

"What do you think of this? I too can perform a "Totem Change" fitting for a god, or should I say, a "Fell Totem" some of you like to call me. And as oppose to "Black Ace," how 'bout this state of mine "Dark Destroyer Shin Grima." Shin Grima introduced his new hybrid form with a much sinister voice than before, constantly surrounded by his violent dark energy.

"Dark Destroyer…Shin Grima…" Lucina repeated in terror.

Meanwhile, Black Ace Spidey stays completely calm and focused on the matters at hand. "Hmph. I thought performing the Totem Change technique was more complex for a simple-minder." He mocked the fell totem.

"Anything you can do; I can perform better. We aren't so different, Great Totem." Grima taunted him by showing him his clenching left fist.

"Listen, I don't care what form you take, this ends NOW!" The Black Ace Wall-Crawler roars his way to Shin Grima's vicinity, unleashing an earth-shattering punch that Grima effortlessly catches, much to Spider-Man's surprise. "What?" He flies to the air to blast Grima with energy barrages, but even those vicious blasts didn't result in much except to make the fell dragon smile in cockiness. Irritated, Spidey goes for a dive-bombing right kick Grima managed to catch in a blink of an eye and throws him away with a dark energy blast, knocking Spidey to the ground.

"Spider-Man…Are you alright?" Robin asked the wall-crawler, relieved to see him still kicking but injured.

"I'm okay, but man, he's like a totally different person now. He has me completely outclassed." Spidey replied, saying that in his current state, Grima is much stronger than ever before.

BGM End

"Hmhmhm. Is that all you got? I knew fusing with that human made you weaker, Other." Grima mocked the fused spider. "Now do you see, Robin? See how frail human bonds are? How short lived and pointless they get you? You have all thrown your lives away, and the result is the same!"

"We're not dead yet!" Robin exclaimed.

"Details, details." Grima sighed. "But yes, I suppose it's time I got you all off my back, so to speak, permanently."

"No…" Robin replied.

"No, you don't want this, do you? You do have a choice, you know. It doesn't have to be this way. You can still save all your friends... Become one with me, and we shall spare their lives. Even the spider, maybe. ...Refuse, and watch as I rend the flesh from their bones!" Grima offered to his past self an impossible ultimatum.

Robin thinks about this choice for a second. "…I…"

"No, Robin! Don't…do it…" Chrom shouted him to refuse Grima's insane offer.

"He's lying…" Lissa said.

"It's a trap…You know it is…" Sonic spoke up.

"NOW! I will have your decision! Will you save these worms? Will you JOIN ME and become a GOD?" Grima asked one last time, embrace the fell totem and achieve ultimate godhood over reality, or let his friends die in agony.

"Do you think me a fool? You'll kill them anyway!" Robin gave his answer, refusing to ever bond with his dark self.

"...Well, of COURSE I would. I only thought you might want to leave your comrades with a heroic, selfless image." Grima said.

"You're as twisted as you are idiotic." Spider-Man mocking, slightly angering the fell dragon.

"So be it. I'll leave your friends with the final memory that you fools were their undoing!" Grima starts to absorb both Robin and Spider-Man into a black portal as they cry out in agony.

"Robin! Spider-Man!" Chrom shouted but they have already disappeared.


Chasm of Time

With his power over time, Grima has teleported Robin and Spidey to a lifeless dimension that exists separated from time, where crystalline structures called "Time Chasm Crystals" float all over this void, depicting events of the past, present, and future.

"Where are we?" Robin asked his future self.

"Where your god wills you to be." Grima implicitly answered his other self.

"A dimension where time intertwines." Spidey gave a more understanding answer.

"Must you explain everything? You never changed, have you? Oh well. Now if you will excuse me…I have some fleas on my back to take care of." Grima said, planning to leave them in this crack in time before heading back to kill their friends.

"No…I won't allow it!" Spidey switches to his Shin Red Joker form to try and crush Grima's hands, finding himself in a violent stalemate.

"Still you struggle against a god?" Grima asked him.

"Even if Robin DID join you, you'll never become a god!" Spidey told him while still stuck in their heated hand struggle.

"I command the power of time. I'm already a god over reality. 'Sides, it ain't so different from what "Ero" done to his host." Grima replied, slowly gaining the upper hand in their struggle.

"Unlike you, Ero sees his host as his partner, his friend. You just see Robin as another vessel to flaunt your inflated ego." Spidey replied as he starts to gain the upper hand over Grima. "When two distant souls, heart to heart, form a true bond, a legendary miracle of power is formed, and that's something you'll never achieve!" Spidey pounds Grima with a hard-hitting head-butt, knocking the dark destroyer to his butt.

Grima growls in frustration. "You little…Don't lecture me about power!" He attacks Spidey with a nerve-crunching energy blast that knocks the Great Hero-Spider unconscious.

"Spider-Man!" Robin runs to his side, still ignoring the monster he supposed to embrace for so many years.

"You still DARE resist ME?! Then perhaps I should end you first!" Grima ruthlessly attacks Robin to the ground next to Spidey, barely having little strength anymore to lift a finger.

"So dark... A sea of black... I have...no final strategy... No cards left to play... He has...won... Ah... I c-can't see... I can't hear... I feel...nothing... ... ...Nothing... ..." Without any trick or strategy left to play, and Spider-Man out of commission, Robin falls unconscious, defeated. As both heroes slump to their failure in this world of time, distant faint voices start to enter their ears from a faraway place.

'—ve to —ack!'

Robin slowly starts to wake up to the voice. "... ...Huh?"

'Yo— ha— fi— back! —ghting!'

"I…hear something…A voice…" Robin said.

BGM-Fire Emblem Awakening OST-Id (Return)

'Fight ba—! —ave to keep —ing! Fight back, Robin! You swore to do so, remember? Now keep your damn word!'

Robin's eyes widen as he recognizes that familiar voice. "C-Chrom? Chrom! Chrom, I can hear you, from across time!"

"What?! No! You are mine now! The dragon's grip cannot be broken!" Grima stated. More voices coming from the time crystals starts to make their sound to their fallen friends, encouraging them to not ever give up.

'Spidey! Robin! Can you hear us?' Sonic appears from one of the time crystals, speaking to them from across time and space. 'The Chaos Emeralds are allowing us to speak to you! Listen! Don't give up! We know you can do it!'

Ruby starts to show herself in another time crystal. 'We believe in you! Break free, and kick that dragon's butt!'

'Come back to us, Robin! Spider-Man!' Lissa starts talking through time.

'We'll keep supporting you, no matter the odds!' Tails said.

'I know it would take more than this to stop you, sir!' Frederick said.

'C'mon! Get up! The world's counting on you!' Weiss speaks.

'Go after him, guys! Give 'im a good beating!' Knuckles said.

'Keep fighting, right to the bitter end!' Blake said.

'Good luck, you two! You can win!' Amy said.

'Crush every bone of his body!' Yang said.

'You have earned my trust and my love. Now return to us!' Lucina said.

'Show us your true power.' Shadow said.

'Don't you DARE lose, brother!' Kaine told Peter.

'You are not Grima, nor is he you. Remember that, Robin!' Tiki said.

'C'mon, now! You can't stop here!' Ilia said.

'You two are so awesome! Now let's save the day!' Aracely said.

'We're in this together!' Sun said.

'Pull it together, lads! Death is overrated, believe me!' Basilio said.

'You don't bow to dragons. You break 'em!' Flavia said.

'You possess honorable spirit brighter than the sun!' Silver Samurai said.

'If this is all it takes to break you, then I'm HIGHLY disappointed.' Dr. Doom gives some "encouraging" words through time.

'You are a worthy adversary, Spider-Man. Do not lose to this primitive creature!' Doc Ock said.

'Come now! Time is of the essence!' Eggman said.

'Show me what the power of bonds can accomplish.' Salem said.

'Only I get to defeat you, Spider-Man. This isn't the time to die!' Cinder speaks.

'This has REALLY dragged out! Get up already! And everyone, shut up! If you keep talking, this story will never end!" The impatient Grimadoom speaks, breaking through the fourth wall a bit there.

BGM End

BGM-Fire Emblem Awakening OST-Id (Purpose)

Thanks to a time-transcending bond of their friendship, Robin and eventually Spider-Man stand right back up in the dimension of time. "I can hear them…Spider-Man! Our friends!"

"Yeah. Grimadoom's right. They're as talkative as ever. They won't let me sleep with their constant babble." Spidey joked.

"Stop this at once! SILENCE those wretched voices! You are all powerless! Frail! Insignificant! You are NOOOTHING!" Grima was about blast Robin and Spidey away before a bright light blinds him, which so happens to be the seven Chaos Emeralds protecting the two great totems. "Urgh! The emeralds! What are they doing here-?!" He asked before Black Ace Spidey stabs him with his spirit sword.

"What did I just tell you, Grimace? When our bonds form a true unison, it can transcend time itself!" Spider-Man said with a cocky grin behind his mask.

'Now, return to us! Let's show him the true form of our bonds!' Chrom said.

"Chrom! I'm coming, Chrom! Hold on!" Robin replied.


Back on Grima's back

Thanks the Chaos Emeralds, Robin and Spidey broke free from their timeless prison and returned back to their friends. "How was the trip?" Ruby asked them.

"Timeless." Spidey made a clever pun that made Ruby giggle.

"Let's end this shindig once and for all!" Sonic said with a confident smirk plastered on his face.

"I'm game!" Chrom said.

'Children of man and totem, use the emeralds' power! Rise now, and face the fell dragon!' Naga instructed them to power up for a super showdown.

BGM End

BGM-Sonic and the Black Knight OST-Transform into Excalibur Sonic

The seven mystical Chaos Emeralds, circle their power above the heads of Spider-Man, Sonic, Ruby, Shadow, Chrom, Robin, and Lucina, greatly worrying Grima as he could sense their power already reaching transcendent levels. "The real battle begins now! Time to show you our true power!" Spidey said.

In a bright, beaming flash that completely envelops the fell dragon, the main heroes of their respective dimensions enter their super state while the rest of their friends gain a Chaos Shield, enhancing their speed and power to incredible heights. Sonic and Shadow, as usual, gain golden fur and spiked up hair as their super state. Ruby's clothing as gains a golden makeover, as well as her Crescent Rose. With the Chaos Emeralds, Chrom gains spiffy new golden armor as a "Knight Exalt," with his brand-new "Chaos Exalted Falchion" exploding with chaotic power. Her daughter from the future is instantly promoted to a "Super Great Lord", sporting a similar golden armor like her father, as well as an enhanced Chaos Falchion. And Robin's robes just gain a golden makeover as expected.

"Whoa…" Is all Chrom could say while he's in awe at his brand-new powers.

"The power of the Chaos Emeralds…It's so warm…I can form any strategy now!" Robin said in amazement of his incredible power.

While Lucina is checking herself out, having never experienced power that rivals the gods, she is more interested in Spider-Man's Ultimate Totem Form. "Spider-Man…" She says, lost in awe at his divine transformation fitting a Hero-Spider of Legend. This is the same, majestic form Spider-Man once took against his recent inter-dimensional battle against the Green Goblin. A brand-new, golden Spider-Armor with shiny black and silver accents, with the spider-pendant given to him by Naga fused to his upper chest area above the stylized spider symbol. His godly helmet is shaped of that of a spider, but his shoulder pads are shaped that of a divine dragon, thanks to the new power Naga awakened for him. Last, but not least, a transparent silvery cape made of exalted webbing flaunts behind his sparkling greenish-golden aura made of flames.

"Is that the…Legendary Exalted Weaver of Lore?" Lucina mumbles to herself, still at a loss for words at his transformation.

To show off his ultimate power, Exalted Weaver Spider-Man unleashes a mighty, dual roar to the heavens that almost sends both Grimas off balance. "So what if you got a little power boost?! YOU'RE STILL FLIES COMPARED TO ME!"

"Technically, he's not wrong. We can fly now." Super Sonic mocked what Grima meant with a smirk.

"Woo-hoo! Look out, world! Super Ruby's here to save the space-time continuum!" Ruby cheered excitedly, punching the air.

"Try to give us a fair fight." Super Shadow taunted the fell dragon of time.

"Oh, Lucina." Spidey speaks to the future princess in a calm, refined manner, getting her attention so he could give her a fist bump, a sign of their promise and friendship that they will succeed in this battle. Smiling brightly, Lucina shares fists with Spidey, making the Exalted Spider very happy behind his mask before he turns his attention back to Grima. "Hey, Grima. Try not to cry while I'm kicking your tail. It'll be really embarrassing." He taunted the fell totem to get angry, which he successfully did as it looks like the mad dragon is getting tired of his babbling mouth. "It's over. Prepare for your oblivion!" He stated as everyone charges in to take down the Dark Destroyer for good.

BGM End

BGM-Sonic Mania OST- Egg Reverie Boss

Immediately, Grima summons countless Symbiote Risen and Iblis Grimm to deal with the super pests before they confront him. Swiftly, Chrom and Lucina spin in place a couple of times, lighting up their respective Falchions to unleashed a Father-Daughter Chaos Sword Beam Slash that eviscerates all of Grima's minions in a blink of an eye. "NO!" Grima exclaimed before Spider-Man appears before him.

"YEEES!" He quipped along with devastating Grima's chest with a brutal punch. Grima tries to counter with dark energy beams, but Spidey's enhanced Spider-Sense helps him dodge all incoming projectiles like a cocky spider, then counters by piercing several parts of his body with his spider-legs, throwing him into the air of a giant web he instantly created and kicks him through.

As the fell dragon regains his balance, Super Sonic and Super Ruby blitz him constantly at the speed of light despite his best efforts to break free and attack them himself. "Don't tell me your giving up already!" Sonic taunted.

"How disappointing!" Ruby smirked before the two kick Grima to Super Shadow's vicinity.

"Your powerless! Fall like your title describes!" Shadow taunted, blasting Grima through the sky with a large chaos beam.

Robin sees his counterpart flung to his sights. "Time to tip the scales!" He uses his brand-new tome, Chaotic Chaos, that shares elemental of every tome increased to chaotic levels, and blasts Grima back to his flying dragon with the force of a nuke.

"What's the matter? I know you can do better than that!" Spidey taunted the fell totem, irritating him to power up his energy, but nothing that'll make the heroes tremble in their boots for.

While the main heroes deal with Grima, the rest of the United Army contend with the massive army Grima has unleashed upon them. Thanks to their increased power because of the Chaos Emeralds, the army has little trouble against the endless amount of Iblis Grimm and Symbiote Risen that are struck against them.

"Pick a god a pray!" Frederick, on horseback, instantly demolishes three dozen Risen with a simple swing with his lance. He spots a line of Grimm heading his way, so he gets the idea to throw his Chaos Lance through their bodies, instantly killing them. "I never imagined our bonds could provide us impressive amounts of power." He said as Lissa and Maribelle appears next to him.

"I know! I can heal everybody with a single swing! This is awesome!" Lissa spins around with Maribelle, using their staff to heal and enhance the abilities of all their allies currently fighting.

Weiss works together with Miriel, Ricken, Tharja, and Henry to summon one gigantic glyph under a swarm of dark minions. "Your dead meat!" She said as they all blow them up with a booming vertical beam of magic.

Next to them, Blake slices down a good number of Risen before letting Panne, Nowi, and Tiki on the fun. "Give them what's coming!" She said, encouraging Panne to maw on a Risen while Tiki and Nowi burn away the rest.

Nearby, Yang is having fun crushing house with Basilio, Gregor, Kellam and Vaike on center of Dragon Grima's back. "Give 'im hell!" Basilio shouted while slicing off the head of an Iblis Ursa.

"Oh yeah!" Yang replied while delivering a flaming uppercut to Symbiote Risen Soldier.

In the sky, Tails blasts away Iblis Nevermores and Risen Pegasus Knights while working alongside Cordelia, Sumia, and Cherche with Virion riding on the latter's pegasus so he could shoot down the undead monsters. "Let's show them we mean business!" Cordelia said.

"Yeah!" Tails agreed as they continued fighting in the skies.

Back on Grima's dragon back, Knuckles punches out a stomping amount of the undead by himself while Sun and Ilia ride horseback on Sully and Stahl respectively for extra assistance. "No holding back! Tear them apart!" Knuckles shouted to them.

"Got it, Knux!" Sun jumps off the horseback and stabs a Risen with Ilia's help.

Much to his regret, Lon'qu is working together with Amy, Anna, Oliva, Flavia, and Say'ri to fight off the monsters, forgetting that Libra, Donnel, Silver Samurai and Gaius to balance out some of the pressure. "Let's kick their butts, Lon'qu!" Amy told him.

"…Fine. Just don't do it so near me." Lon'qu replied before they head to work.

Around that same area, Scarlet Spider stabs through his enemies with ferocious strength while Toxin backs his play. "Scarlet! On your right!" Cinder warned him of an incoming Symbiote Risen assassin Kaine was able to slam through with his flaming fists.

"Thanks. Times like this, I really wished I had a spider-sense." Kaine said to her before he almost got burned by Hummingbird's sacred fire.

"Sorry! Sorry! Hey, Scarlet! Can we get a bite after this? I'm hungry." Aracely told him.

"You're always hungry! And also, when did you start shooting fire?" Kaine asked the mysterious youth he still has no idea what her entire story is all about.

"I dunno. Just now, I think." Hummingbird replied.

"She is very weird." Cinder told Kaine.

"And VERY annoying. Moreso than Spider-Man." Kaine replied.

"Oh god." Cinder responded.

At the very back of Dragon Grima's back, the Masters of Evil are seen together against the endless hordes of inter-dimensional mooks. "Take this! Take that! Ahahaha!" Eggman laughed, shooting missiles with his repaired Eggwalker at his foes.

"Calm down, doctor. Remember to leave some for us." Salem deviously smirked while blasting away her own set of undead annoyance.

"These undead fools are no match for the genius of Doctor Otto Octavius!" Ock said while slamming multiple Grimm with all four of his tentacles.

"Destroy them, my allies! Do not let up!" Doom encouraged his evil allies while killing a massive horde with his magic tech beams.

"If you say so!" Grimadoom grins ecstatically, summoning a large sphere of energy that's strong enough to tilt the fell dragon to its right side.

Back to the main super champions of his epic showdown, Spider-Man's team seem to be on the cusp of victory over Shin Grima. "Cover me!" The Exalted Weaver instructed his allies as he aims his right hand straight to the sky to power up an oversized reddish blue energy sword.

"Leave it to us!" Chrom replied. The Knight Exalt charges in at Grima, slashing him repeatedly for a bit before letting his daughter in on the fun. Quickly after the slashing assault, Robin blasts Grima to the air so Sonic and Ruby could blitz them again with their speed. Once that was done, Shadow temporarily traps Grima in a Chaos Control bubble so Spider-Man could have an easy target.

"This might tickle." Spidey joked once he finishes charging up his long attack. "Here goes. Spirit…Arachnicalibur!" He slams the giant spirit sword down on Grima while he's temporarily trapped, crashing the Fell Totem to his dragon's back, greatly wounded.

BGM End

"Hmph. This is getting dull." Spidey said, putting his hand up in Shin Grima's face, psychically knocking him to the floor once again. "Usually, you would put up more of a fight. Guess you're the one that's gotten soft over rotting for three millennia." Spidey mocked with his two-in-one voice.

Shin Grima pants heavily, weakened, but suspiciously still has one more ace up his sleeves. "…I'm not done…I still haven't shown you all my horrors…And I feel it's appropriate we our feud in MY domain…"

"Huh?" Spidey replied. Without a second's thought, Grim surrounds his himself and the entire arena in some time vortex, and before they know it, everyone, including the dragon Grima, disappear.


Chasm of Time

The rift in space-time teleported the Super Warriors, except for Shadow, back into the Chasm of Time. "Hey. Where are we? Where's Shadow? Where's everybody else?" Super Sonic asked while they float in this timeless dimension.

"Look!" Ruby gasped once she sees their friends back on Chrom's Earth through a time crystal. "They're still back there, but where are we?" She asked while glancing around.

"Grima sent me and Spidey here earlier. Some sort of "Time Dimension" where many eras interconnect." Robin answered.

"ERAS THAT ARE NOW UNDER MY CONTROL…"

An extremely colossal Grima appears before the super warriors, now fully taking his Fell Dragon Form but with a few changes. He looks like a darker, more demonic alligator in this form, possessing a long dark slithery tail that reaches no end, now with a more brutal-looking muscular upper body with spiked shoulders and arms, and also a defined six-pack. He also has large horns all over his head, and a long blue lizard-like tongue. The corrupted Genesis Stone can also be seen deep within the large core of his veiny chest.

"Grima! Damn! He's changed again!" Chrom cursed.

"HERE…I AM ETERNAL…I EXIST IN ALL ERAS…I AM THE PAST… PRESENT… AND FUTURE… ALL. IS. XENO GRIMA!" Xeno Grima introduced his new form.

"If we defeat you here, you'll be erased from all timelines, never to exist again. You just made our jobs easier." Spidey smirked.

"Now, warriors! One last assault for time!" Chrom shouted, pairing himself up with Spidey for the present, Robin pairing up with Sonic in the past, and Lucina pairing up with Lucina in the future. All are ready to destroy Xeno Grima from all eras in time to save all of time.

BGM-Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) OST-Solaris Phase 2

Now fully intent on wiping out his accursed adversaries out of existence, Xeno Grima unleashes everything he's got at them, firing large dark laser beams surrounded by time meteors. Through their teamwork and quick play, each super pair in different era managed to avoid an untimely catastrophe.

"Spider-Man. How do you suppose we take him down in this state?" Chrom asked while slicing through the incoming time meteors.

"See the core? Attack it. That's where the Genesis Stone is. It should weaken him for a chance to take it back. But let Ruby and Lucina start the final assault." Spidey advised while avoiding Grima's energy beams.

"Sure thing." Chrom replied, allowing Lucina and Ruby to be the first to take on Xeno Grima.

"Thank you, Father!" Lucina replied from a future era in this dimension.

"We'll take care of this!" Ruby said, darting at light-speed to Grima's core, slashing it relentlessly with her scythe, hurting Grima a good deal. "This is the end! Prepare to meet your doom!" Ruby finishes off her combo by unleashing a powerful chaos beam up close and personal to the core.

"AGGGGHHHH…LITTLE…BRAT…" Grima was about to claw Ruby out of existence if Lucina didn't interfere with her blade.

"I lost to you once, monster. I shall not lose again! Die now, that our future can live!" Lucina told the time beast as she deflects his hand away.

"... YOU CANNOT SLAY...WHAT MAY NEVER DIE..." Grima proclaimed.

"Wanna bet!" Lucina smirked, clinging her Falchion with Ruby's Crescent Rose to unleash a roaring sword slash at Grima's core, damaging greatly. "I think we're done here." She believed.

"Sonic! Robin! Good luck!" Ruby said to the super pair of the past era.

"All right, it's our turn! Let's have some fun, Grima!" Super Sonic grinned, boosting around the large time dragon, distracting him long enough for Robin to hurriedly damage the Exo Core. "Let's see how long you can keep up that big attitude!" Sonic taunted Grima, launching himself as a shooting star straight smacking at his core, damaging Grima greatly.

As he recovers from the damage, Grima turns to the super-powered Robin to once again plead with him to join forces. "...RETURN TO ME... COME... WE ARE ONE...AND THE SAME..."

"…No. This is the end of you. I will release you from the chains of our past!" Robin replied with a Chaos Thoron at the core, causing it to crack severely. "We severed his link with the past!" The tactician informed his allies.

"Spidey! Chrom! He's all yours!" Sonic said to the heroes of the present day.

"Finally! Almost thought you forgotten about us!" Spidey joked as he shoots spectacular web bullets to blind Grima's many eyes.

"We've come to end you, Grima!" Chrom declared.

"...ARROGANT MORTAL... I AM THE END!" Grima shouted.

"You don't decide the end times. The present day…The here and now that you've stolen…Time to take it back!" Spidey attaches a webline at Chrom, spinning like crazy so he could give Chrom that extra speed to loudly thrust his chaotic blade straight into the Exo Core after he's been thrown.

"Stand back, Chrom! This is gonna get wild!" Spidey warned the Exalted Prince to stand clear for his final attack. Exalted Weaver Spider-Man unleashes his large Man-Spider Avatar and commands it to prepare a dark red Kumodama while he puts his right hand and all four spider-legs to create a giant-size Web-Shuriken using Naga's divine green energy. "I'll send you to the next world with this: Divine Totem Planetary Webshuriken!" He launches the Web-Shuriken, then fires four satellite Kumodamas, circling around the shuriken as it strikes at Xeno Grima's core. The Fell Totem struggles to use all of his power over time to clash with the Great totem's incredible might, but after one mighty scream from the Exalted Weaver, the blast proves too much for Grima, obliterating his central core and Grima himself with an enormous dome of reddish-green energy.

With the core gone, the healed Genesis Stone flies its way to Spider-Man's hands. "Got it." He said as he sees Xeno Grima split back into its normal dragon form and Possessed Future Robin form, both incredibly weakened to do anything else.

"...NNGH...AAAAUGHHH..." Grima grunts as the other heroes regroup back with Chrom and Spidey.

"Is it time?" Ruby asked somberly, knowing full well what their next course of action is now.

Spidey and Robin silently answer with a nod before they stare at each other for a few seconds before nodding in acknowledgement of their next phase of this drastic plan. Slowly, Robin hovers through the timeless dimension to confront his evil future self, quietly preparing one last act of magic for his counterpart to taste headfirst.

"...WHAT...WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Grima asked his past self on his insane intentions.

"For once, I'm glad you and I are the same. Now I can give my life to protect those I care for..." Robin told him.

"...YOU WOULD...NOT DARE!" Grima replied, scared for his life.

"I would and I will. The evils you would visit on this world, on all worlds, are unthinkable... In some way, I—we share the blame. It's only right we meet our end together!" Robin said as he gets ready to fire the finishing blow.

"...NOOOOOOO!" Grima yelled for his dear life as Robin destroys him and the fell dragon from all of existence, never to threaten the world ever again with their corrupted evil.

As both Grimas start to fade away from reality, so does Robin. "Robin…!" Chrom said, with him and his friends around him starting to worry for his fading life, thinking deep within their hearts that if this next plan doesn't work, Robin will permanently be wiped out from time.

Robin turns around and takes one last look at his friends with a smile. "…In case this doesn't work, I just want to say…thank you. Chrom. Peter. Thank you all for…everything…Tell the others…my last thoughts were of them…May we meet again, in a better life…" Robin then waves his good-byes as he fades away in a brilliant light.

'Robin…' Chrom thinks to himself, crying inside to see his best friend just straight up die after saving all of history. All he hopes now is that Spider-Man's theory of bringing him back to life is absolutely possible.

The remaining Super Warriors exchange silent stares, knowing what they should do before Robin's light burns out from existence. With no time to waste, Spider-Man summons a massive construct of the Web of Life and Destiny behind them and they all start charging up all their chaos energy into a star light-like ball of yellow energy directly in their palms. "Chaos…

"…REGERNATION!" They all shouted together and then threw their light energy at Robin's dissipating light. As it connects, the whole Chasm of Time starts to glow a bright light and completely consumes the heroes, either destroying them or bringing them back home, hopefully with Robin by their side as well.
