Spider-Man: Watch out! Here comes the Spider-Man! You'd think we're almost done, and we are. We defeated Grandmaster Meio and destroyed his Third Moon. What we didn't know is that its Gravitron Core was carrying the Sigma Virus and it's now on a collision course for Earth! If it hits the planet, then it'll be Maverick Day everyday worldwide!

Issue 16: Symbiote Attack
S.H.I.E.L.D. Tricarrier, New York City. Earth Prime.
BGM-Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order OST-Under Siege
Warning alarms are blasting in high quality throughout the Tricarrier that is still under reconstruction after the Maverick attack. Nick Fury walks into the command deck with a stern look demanding, "Give me a sitrep, NOW!", from all agents behind computers so he could learn what is causing all this noise.
"Something triggered the planetary alarms, sir! We're having trouble pinpointing its location!" A SHIELD Agent informed his boss.
"I bet I know where." Fury then initiates a holographic video chat with the Resistance from the other Earth just to shout at, "Spider-Man! What the hell is going on over there?"
'Can you call back, Fury? We're trying to stop a Sigma Virus BOMB that was ejected from a moon! Looks like it's going to impact Metro City!' Spider-Man retorted, showing him the projected point of impact.
"That's linked to New York." Fury said, stating that New York City will also suffer the virus because of the dimensional link between Earths.
'Course it is! Why can't it be ever New Jersey?' Spidey quipped.
'We've never seen technology like this. Everything we throw barely scratches it.' X urgently informed the SHIELD Director.
"Do whatever it takes to stop that virus! If it reaches your Earth, my Earth is doomed as well!" Fury ordered calmly.
'Acknowledged.' X nodded.
"Director Fury, we have another problem!" Another SHIELD Agent proclaimed.
"Now what?" The irritated Fury retorted whilst facing his employee.
"A dimensional anomaly has been detected and is currently rampaging through Manhattan, but we can't see it! It seems to be attacking from Metro City!" The SHIELD Agent reported.
"Give me visual!" Fury tasked by granting access to the multiversal satellite D.A.N., wanting to know exactly what is going on in the other world.
Metro City, Earth-30847.
The large metropolitan area is in a panic. Not because of the Gravitron Core heading for the surface, but because of a threat that's already on the surface. "AAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAH!" Hundreds of civilians are running away from a demonic terror. One that causes an explosion that knocks down several people that are unfortunate enough to be confronted by Jedah and Salem.
"I sense more Stones nearby…Yes…With their power I shall save this wretched world." Jedah proclaimed.
The demonic duo then flies away so their masterpiece can enjoy itself. The Grimm-Symbiote they were raising in the Majigen has awakened, appearing as a gargantuan dog-like monstrosity that is hungry for souls and Exo Stones. "GRAAAAAAAARRRRR!" The Symbiote Monster roars before feasting on the poor saps that were knocked down earlier, increasing its already outrageous strength to another level that is expressed by its growth spurt and invulnerability to the police force's heavy artillery.
Meanwhile in Space…
"Well they chose the perfect time to go soul searching." Dante quipped, with he and his fellow dimensional heroes watching live coverage of the Symbiote Monster's rampage on Metro City in the Aven-Jet.
"This is a worst-case scenario palooza! We don't have time for this!" Sonic scowled, very irritated that they have to deal with both the Sigma Virus and the Giant Symbiote.
"Then let's try!" Chun-Li retorted, determined to put a stop to all this evil, "We're needed in the city! Help people evacuate and stop that monster! I can get in contact with Mayor Hagger! He can help us!"
"Zero and Demitri, I want you two to stay up here and stop that virus! Hold nothing back!" Spider-Man ordered them.
"We won't." Demitri declared, eager to fly out and stop the bomb with his bare hands.
"Don't make this a repeat of the Eurasia incident." X warned his fellow Maverick Hunter, worried that his best friend might sacrifice himself.
"I recall surviving that one. You just worry about the people below." Zero snarked, focusing his piloting skills on the falling Gravitron Core while X and others are teleported to Metro City by Ingrid.
BGM End
At Metro City…
BGM-Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order OST-Planet in Peril
It's a race against time to save Metro City from being destroyed by either the symbiote, the virus, or both. This won't be easy, but the Resistance are trying their absolute best to stop these calamities. Evacuation is already in full swing thanks to Mayor Hagger and those needing assistance are granted such by friendly heroes like Spider-Man, Xiaoyu, Blake, Sonic, and Viewtiful Joe. Police find themselves overpowered by the Giant Grimm-Symbiote that is continuing its destructive rampage through the city and only saved from a total defeat thanks to the timely arrival of more powerful fighters like X, Jin, Knuckles, Ruby, and Wolverine.
"Create a perimeter! Don't let this monster leave this spot!" Jill ordered her forces, shooting her ineffective gun at the giant alien.
"How do we stop this thing?!" Hsien-Ko asked, watching Axl almost get crushed by the big beast.
"Symbiotes are weak to fire and loud noise, and maybe electricity!" Wolverine suggested, taking cover alongside Chris and Knuckles.
"I got it." Chris tries firing his rocket launcher at the monster, but the blast sends pieces of the symbiote all over the place, with some bonding with police officers.
"Great job making a mess!" Wolverine sassed, with he and Hsien-Ko taking on the Symbiote Police Force while the Giant Symbiote simply regenerates from its minor wound.
Knuckles assists by punching a taxi, triggering its extremely loud alarm that weaken the beast and force the symbiotes off of the police. "Son of a gun." Hsien-Ko joked, watching the echidna punch another taxi.
With the Giant Symbiote weakened for just a moment, several heroes launch a coordinated attack that utilizes its other weaknesses. X slides under it to burn the belly of the beast with his Fire Wave, while Trish flies overhead to electrocute its body with her Maximum Voltage combo. Their strong combo forces its mouth wide open so Jill could feed it highly flammable grenades. But that pales in comparison to the force Ruby will unleash from the nearest rooftop. Since the creature is part-Grimm, her Silver Eyes may do some damage. After a short struggle concentrating, the little huntress fires a bright light that harms the giant beast. Petrifying it partially but only for a few seconds as its strength grows, shattering the stone on its body and swiping its furious claw at the weakened Ruby's roof, causing her to fall until she is caught by Jin.
"Thanks…" Ruby said weakly.
"That creature is resilient to your power. It can only slow it down. Conserve your strength until we can come up with a better plan." Jin advised while gently putting down the huntress.
"Right!" Ruby retorted, whipping out her scythe as she confronts the roaring monster once more.
Nearby, Spider-Man is swinging away from the symbiotic action. Not because he's scared for his life but for the female civilian he's swinging to safety. "Hold on tight! I'll get you outta here!" He advises the terrified woman.
BGM End
Suddenly an energy blast cuts his webline, forcing Spidey to the take the blunt of the fall and see that he was ambushed by Jedah. "You may have escaped the symbiote, but you will not escape me. Surrender your Stones, and I'll allow you to keep your soul." Jedah threatened the webslinger.
"If I had a dollar for every time I heard that line…" Spidey quipped, refusing to hand him the Exo Stones.
Spider-Man can't fight Jedah, not without risking the civilian's life. Thankfully his friends, Dante and Morrigan, come in to lend a hand. "Get her outta here, Webs! We got this! Go!" Dante shouted, prompting the nodding wallcrawler to swing away with the girl while the heroic demons confront the Makai noble.
"Jedah!" Morrigan confronted him, "End this, please. The humans are not-."
Only for Jedah to cut her off by arguing, "They are the cattle on which we feed. This is merely a culling of the herd."
BGM-Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite OST-Theme of Jedah Dohma
"You sure are screwed in the head, you know that." Dante snarked.
"The souls you have taken, Lord Jedah…I will have you pay for them in pain." Morrigan declared, fiercely ready to put down the Dark Messiah with Dante supporting her.
Morrigan attacks first with a furious Finishing Shower, firing a hail of missiles from her wings that prompts Jedah into summoning his scythe to form a blood barrier that absorbs her attack. Dante strikes next, only for a scythe swing to knock him down and nearly reap him if Morrigan didn't intercept with a bladed high kick that knocks the dark savior into the air. Jedah recovers using his Spirale Infernale in midair, crashing down like a giant pizza cutter that tries spindashing his enemies. "Sonic's gonna sue if he saw you stealing his move!" Dante quips while leaping away from his razor-sharp rampage.
Morrigan was too slow to escape as Jedah catches her by the throat and nearly sprays blood in her face if it wasn't for Dante slicing off his other arm. He continues wounding him with Stingers that forces him to let go of Morrigan, who declares, "In the name of Aensland, I sentence you to oblivion.", before using her Harmonious Spear to impale the villain until he explodes into a bloody mess. A bloody mess that he quickly regenerates from.
BGM End
"Did you think that spilling my blood would accomplish something? Fools." Jedah taunted, hurling spiraling projectiles that trips his foes. Morrigan is down but not Dante, yet the prospect of fighting the Legendary Devil Hunter refuses to inspire worry in the dark messiah, "Dante, son of Sparda…Half human, half demon…and a traitor to both. Do you really think-?"
Dante sighs, "Man, just stop talking…Let's do this." He strikes with another Stinger, only this time Jedah is able to dodge it and stab him so viciously that the half-demon can't save himself from being thrown aside like trash.
"How does it feel, half-blood…to know that you have failed?" Jedah taunted with his back turned to the downed hunter.
BGM-Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite OST-Theme of Dante
But to his curiosity, the Demon Lord senses a change happening within the demon hunter. A tremendous demonic power is discharging from his body that's rising on its own ominously. "Failed?" said Dante with a distorted voice. The Devil Hunter fully rises in a reptilian-looking demonic form. His Devil Trigger. Laughing, "I'm just getting warmed up.", before engaging the demon lord in another round.
"Your arrogance will be your undoing…half-blood." Jedah proclaimed, powering himself up with the Nightmare Stone.
A sudden burst of outrageous speed from Devil Trigger Dante was enough to stun the demon lord before pushing him back with a ferocious flurry of sword strikes. Sword and scythe collide, briefly, with great force that pushes back both fighters and goads them to clash again. Jedah gains the edge, projecting bloody hands that pursue Dante on the ground but not to the sky that he flies to with his newfound wings. There, he fires multiple lightning bolts that Jedah deflects wonderfully before launching a dashing sword slash that collides with the noble's swinging scythe strike. The collision of phenomenal demonic energies amazes the likes of Morrigan as it shakes the neighborhood. Though Jedah's power is magnificent, Dante proves to be slightly stronger upon winning the struggle with stylish power that sends the noble flying through multiple buildings.
After crashing through one more building, Jedah decides enough is enough whilst stopping himself in midair. He bears witness to Dante flying toward him and uses the Nightmare Stone to drag him into a world of total darkness, "Enter the banquet of the abyss!"
"Ugh…Feeling a little tuckered out…" Dante feels himself falling asleep, slowly succumbing to the Stone's dark power.
"Ugh, what a fool Sparda was…to leave such talent so bereft of knowledge. And as I know realize, foolishness is a sin. All sinners must be punished. All souls must be preserved. Do you have any final words before your endless sleep?" Jedah babbled, believing he has won this fight.
"Sure…I got something…" With his human soul pushing himself to the limit, Dante burst free from the Nightmare Stone's influence to quip, "I hate people who talk more than I do. Got it?", before delivering one all-powerful slash that cuts Jedah down as well as the dark dimension he was trapped in.
BGM End
Jedah falls in defeat while accidently letting go of the Nightmare Stone in his possession. Morrigan tries catching it but was intercepted at the last second, with the Stone being webbed into the hands of the smiling Salem. "Damn you, Salem." Morrigan scowls at the scoffing sorcereress that teleports away.
"Defeating me won't change anything…Your destruction is nigh without my salvation!" Jedah proclaimed, both angry and weak from the fight that he is left no choice but to retreat from the battlefield.
"Gang, this is Dante! Jedah retreated, but now Salem is playing around with the Nightmare Stone!" Dante contacted his friends through their comm link.
'I'll sniff her out! Go and help out with the symbiote!' Wolverine ordered.
"On our way!" Morrigan responded, with the demon heroes hurrying back to the fight against the Giant Symbiote.
BGM-Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order OST-Riot on the Raft
One threat down, three more still endangering the city and world at large. The last of the civilians have been evacuated thanks to Chun-Li before she reunites with Spider-Man, Sonic, and Blake to make certain. "Are the streets clear?" She asked them.
"Yeah. Now we can focus on the symbiote." Spidey nodded.
"How are we gonna stop it?" Blake asked.
"I dunno. Damn thing is near-unstoppable." Spidey quipped.
Suddenly the Arachnid Avenger has to touch his earpiece upon receiving contact from Alia enduring radio interference, 'We're passing through the…attempting to neutralize the…'
"Alia, I can barely hear you. What's going on up there?" Spidey retorted, wondering if her group in space destroyed the Gravitron Core or not.
'It's no good! The core has entered the atmosphere.' Zero reported in frustration.
"Damn." Spidey cursed under his breath, "Okay…You guys did your best. Meet us in the city. We'll need your help here."
'Acknowledged. Sorry, Spider-Man.' Alia apologized before signing off.
"So what do we do now?" Blake asked, getting worried now that the Sigma Virus is minutes away from impacting the planet.
"Take your pick. We can either get eaten, get cyberized, or get blown up with the rest of the city." Sonic quipped, listing off their desperate choices with his fingers.
"I choose none of the above." Chun-Li snarked.
In frustration, Spidey exasperates, "If only Cap or Iron Man was here! They'd know what to do!"
"Well they're not. YOU are here. And you've been doing an amazing job getting us this far." Chun-Li retorted to cheer him up, encourage him to not give up when his friends need him the most.
"But I don't know what to do. We're dealing with so much at once. All I can think of is pray for a miracle." Spidey proclaimed, struggling to come up with the idea that will save their dimensions.
BGM End
"Then consider your prayers answered. By the TRUE savior of dimensions."
The four knows that bigheaded voice all too well, as they look more annoyed than surprised when they notice the menacing Doctor Doom approaching them. "We don't have time for your ego, Doom." Sonic quips at the masked monarch that's been trying to kill them throughout this adventure.
"Then I'll cut right to the chase. I have a plan that can destroy the Gravitron Core before it infects the planets. All it requires is your trust in me." Doctor Doom claimed.
"Why should we trust you? You're the reason Ultron Sigma was born in the first place!" Chun-Li retorted, thinking it's a bad idea to work alongside the Masters of Evil.
"Indirectly. I too was being used and desire vengeance on that traitor for endangering Latveria. The Earth is MINE to rule. That machine cannot have it." Doom proclaimed.
"Spidey…" Blake glances at her boyfriend, waiting for him to decide whether or not they should trust Doom.
Sighing while scratching the back of his head, Spidey quips, "Wouldn't be the first time we teamed up to clean up your mess this summer. Alright, whaddya have in mind?", as his way to reluctantly accept Doom's help against the Sigma Virus.
BGM-BlazBlue: CentralFiction OST-Walpurgisnacht
The clock is ticking. The Gravitron Core is breaching the atmosphere as a flaming meteorite. While at the same time Knuckles hurls a car with all his roaring might at the Giant Symbiote that isn't stopping its destruction on the city. Other heroes attack the monster with everything they got, like Morrigan with her missiles, and Jin pulverizing each leg with electrified punches. A flying kick from Xiaoyu was humorously deflected as is a lance toss by Arthur before he was almost crushed. Dante's attacks don't leave a mark that isn't easily regenerated. A powerful Fireburst from Amaterasu only enrages the alien demon. Even Ingrid's mysterious powers can just slow it down for a few seconds before it breaks free with a roaring fury. Reinforcements come in the form of Demitri and his relentless Chaos Flares, assisted by Viewtiful Joe once he whips out his Six Cannon.
'Strider, we need Ruby and the Maverick Hunters here at the Skyscraper Under Construction! Do you see it?' Spidey contacted the ninja in the midst of him fighting the Giant Symbiote.
Strider quickly finds a massive construction site in the distance retorting, "I do! I will bring them at once!", before racing off to complete his objective.
Elsewhere, Wolverine found Salem as the two battle in an intense clash outside of a Mad Gear Hideout, with the X-Man being relentless in his attacks so as to not give the witch time to channel the Nightmare Stone. "Do yerself a favor and give up, witch! Your immortality won't save you from the Sigma Virus!" Wolverine argued, taunting her to surrender.
"No, but I have confidence your Stones will save me." Salem smirks, even after finding the opening to backflip away from his relentless assault, "How about this?" The Dark Witch fires a quick elemental barrage consisting of fire, ice, and electricity, all that were swiftly evaded by the mutant with the superhuman agility. He then knees her in the face just before she flips over him from said knee, hovering in the air to bombard him with dark magic.
"Shinku…" Suddenly Ryu comes to his friend's support by shouting, "HADOKEN!", and firing a massive beam that smashes through her energy volley. The attack nears Salem, prompting her to shield herself with a sturdy symbiotic barrier that crashes down from the blast. Wolverine cuts through her barrier only to find the witch gone before being ambushed by her smirking yet fiery explosive punch to his face. The snarling mutant doesn't stay down for a second as he rushes back to the fight, launching a leaping slash that she ascends over. "Tatsumaki Senpukyaku!" Ryu almost hits her with a powerful spinning kick that she repels with powerful wind magic as seamless as her knocking down Logan with more fire magic.
BGM End
"That was close." Salem smirked deviously, finally having the chance to harness the Nightmare Stone and fire a horrible aura imbued with dark thoughts at Ryu. The dark power is trying to awaken the Satsui no Hado within him, with the World Warrior struggling to fight against it. "Now the Satsui no Hado will be mine. Allow me the pleasure to release this burden from you." The Witch then extends her symbiotic hand to grab and sadistically attempt to absorb the Dark Hado to add to her already immense dark power.
All this darkness nearly breaks Ryu into giving in. But he doesn't. He can't. As he recalls the word of a Grim hedgehog he fought in Makai, "I can't let you have this power…yet I can't allow it to consume me…I must not suppress it…I must conquer it…With my true strength!"
BGM-Project X Zone 2 OST- Heartwarming Feelings (Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie)
Seamlessly, his eyes turn pure white as Ryu screams, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!", while his entire body erupts with intense blue energy that eradicates the darkness that nearly consumed him and nearly blowing away Salem with such tremendous force she has never felt before in her immortal life.
"What is this light?!" Salem shouted with genuine surprise.
Enveloped by the pure light of this Sacred Hado, this Hado Kakusei, Ryu charges up an attack that he is certain will defeat the dark enchantress. "Return it all to nothingness! Shin…" He says calmly, cupping his hands together to power an attack stronger than the Shinku Hadoken.
"No, you don't!" Salem retorted, preparing her counterattack with the Nightmare Stone.
But to her added shock, Ryu appears right in front of her so seamlessly as if he teleported before letting off his unstoppable Shin, "HADOOOOKEEEEEEN!", at point blank range. No matter how hard she resists, Salem can't stop herself from screaming and being blasted across the city block until she is smashed right onto a building.
"H-How could this happen…You actually hurt me…My…body…" Salem commented in shock, feeling her muscles burned and her body melting as if she's the Wicked Witch of the West. After collapsing to the ground below, she notes to herself, 'Could it be? This world's equivalent to the Silver Eyes? And this warrior is using it to control the Satsui no Hado? No doubt it will one day be a nuisance…', before a Doombot flies her away from Wolverine's wrath.
"She got away with the Stone!" Ryu noticed whilst powering down to his normal state.
"It doesn't look like she'll bother us for a while. What was that power?" The curious Wolverine questioned his newfound power.
"The Power of Nothingness." Ryu smiled, "I should thank Salem the next time we meet. Conquering my nightmares helped push me beyond my limits."
"We're not outta the woods yet." Logan said before contacting his allies, "Salem got away with the Nightmare Stone. Can we still pull off whatever it is we're doing?"
'Hopefully. We need those Stones here, now!' Spider-Man ordered his forces.
BGM End
BGM-Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order OST-Knowhere to Run
It's all or nothing with this next move. Half of the threats have been neutralized while the other half are moments away from completing their objectives. The Giant Grimm-Symbiote nears the flying Trish as she shouts, "Catch!", while throwing the Heart Stone at Knuckles gliding his way to the Skyscraper Under Construction. Spider-Man, Blake, and Chun-Li await there with the Aven-Jet parking near them to drop off Zero and Alia, right before Strider teleports in Ruby and the other two Maverick Hunters for their special purpose. Nearby are Sonic and Doctor Doom standing patiently on a platform with a clear view of the symbiote nearing the construction site. At the same time, the rest of the gang spots the Gravitron Core that inches closer to the surface.
"We're out of time. Knuckles! Give the Stone to X!" Spidey tasked the echidna that just arrived at the construction site.
"Better not lose it." Knuckles joked, tossing the Heart Stone to the blue reploid.
X with the Heart Stone. Zero with the Dream Stone. Axl with the War Stone. Sonic with the Genesis Stone. Doctor Doom with the Chaos Stone. And Ruby with her Silver Eyes. All five of them standing on the same platform sharing the same goal of saving the dimensions from the Sigma Virus. "You up for this, kid?" Zero asked the Grimm Huntress.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Ruby responded firmly.
"Sure you won't get mad at us when we blow up your little monster?" Axl quips at the Latverian dictator.
"It was a failure. At least it will be sacrificed for a noble cause." Doom proclaims no remorse for his intentions to destroy his own Symbiote Monster.
"Let's do it to it!" Sonic shouted determinedly, with all five fighters charging up their respective powers.
The Giant Symbiote is not far off from the construction site as Morrigan and Amaterasu delay it to buy their friends just a little more time. Ingrid is near the battle when she is contacted by Spider-Man, 'Ingrid, do you have something to redirect the core to us?'
"Of course. It'll be a snap." smiled Ingrid, literally snapping her fingers to cause the Gravitron Core to fall toward the construction site.
Doom's group is just about done charging up their ultimate power. Those wielding Exo Stones combine their energies into one incredibly powerful sphere that they hold in place, awaiting the ideal moment to fire, and the huntress with the Silver Eyes keeps them locked onto the Grimm-Symbiote until it is her time to unleash their power. And just as the roaring Monster lunges at the heroes, just as the Gravitron Core is about to crash, Doom shouts, "NOW!". In seamless succession, Ruby unleashes her power to stun the alien Grimm right as her friends fire their unified cosmic beam to smash the Gravitron Core onto the monster.
BGM End
The Symbiote Monster and the Gravitron Core. Both were destroyed by the real superpower of teamwork. Unfortunately, there was a slight miscalculation to the plan. The Sigma Virus was still released in such a burst that it spreads across a portion of Metro City. The same area where Doom and the entire Resistance are inhabiting at the moment. In other words, they have become infected.
BGM-Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 OST-Game Over
"No! The Sigma Virus…We're too late…" Spidey stated in horror.
"Spider-Man! They're down!" announced Strider, pointing out Doom's group fading into unconsciousness.
