Chapter 1

Let's Play!

"I'm bored! Very bored." Ruby moaned.

It had about close to a week since the train incidence with Roman and the White Fang. Studies have calmed down as Vytal Festival was going to start soon. The weekend had some freedom for extra practice, extra studying, some rest, or quote Ruby "to be bored." In the dorm room, Ruby was slumped over her bed with head hanging off the bed. Weiss was reviewing her notes. Blake was reading in her bed.

Weiss looked from her notes and turned to Ruby. "Why do you keep telling us?" she asked, annoyed.

"Entertain me?" Ruby suggested.

"I can't," Weiss answered as she went back her notes. "And I wouldn't anyway. Just study your notes."

Ruby sighed. "I did that yesterday."

"Then do it again," Weiss said, turning back to her notes.

Ruby groaned as she flipped herself over the right side up. She then looked towards Blake, who didn't even bother to look up. "Blake?"

"Practice," was all Blake said, still not bothering to look.

Ruby slumped down again. "I did yesterday and earlier today."

"And yet studying again can't be done," Weiss mumbled. Ruby groaned with her face in the bed. "Why didn't you just go with Yang when she went to walk Zwei?"

Ruby lifted her head. "I would've, but Yang left with Zwei before I got back." Ruby groaned again.

"Can't you just relax?" Blake asked.

"Too bored to relax."

Weiss completely turned around, seeing as she wasn't going to get anymore studying done. "Doesn't make it easier to relax?'

"No."

Weiss just groaned in response, really wishing Yang had just taken Ruby with her when she went to walk Zwei.

Suddenly, the door burst open, causing all three members to have their attention. It was none other than Yang with a grin on her face as Zwei came in behind her. "I got it!"

Ruby quickly sprung up with a smile on her face. "Yes, I knew it!"

Weiss looked confused. "What? You didn't even know what she got or if she was getting anything?"

Ruby jumped down from the bed. "It's Yang. She can sense boredom!"

Yang grinned. "And I've got the perfect thing!"

Ruby smirked as she turned to an unamused Weiss as Ruby tapped the side of her head. "Boredom senses," she repeated.

Weiss just rolled her eyes, and Blake closed her book, now interested in the conversation. "What did you get?"

Yang pulled and game case from behind her back. "I got a new game, never before seen or heard of, and we are going to play it."

Ruby 'ohh-ed' as her eyes sparkled with glee. Weiss and Blake, on the other hand, exchanged looks. "Wait," Blake asked as she tried her best to stay away from Zwei as he tried to get closer to her. "Reo, just let you take that off of him?"

"No, Reo wasn't there," Yang said as Ruby swiped the game case from Yang, and Yang closed the door. "Some other guy was. Zwei went in back and brought it. He said it was a new game and it has never been played. We get to be test subjects."

"You just took it?" Weiss asked.

Yang shrugged. "I got a new game for half the price, and we'll be first to play it. The question is, how fast did I take it?"

Before Weiss could even ask what she meant by 'we,' Ruby started to look at the cover. "Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions?" she read aloud. "What's a Spider-Man?"

Blake, still avoiding Zwei, took a look at the game case. On the cover, there four people that looked like spider-like but more human. "More like who," Blake corrected.

"Is he a Faunas? Like spider Faunas?" Ruby asked.

"I've never heard of him," Blake responded. "Besides, I doubt, they would make a game about it… and be as civil."

Weiss then took it from Blake. "This looks… stupid," she stated. She looked at Yang again. "And did you mean 'we'?

Yang quickly took it from Weiss and turned the case to the backside. "Listen, 'four parallel worlds. One unparalleled adventure,'" Yang said in announcer-like voice.

Weiss folded her arms. "Can you do it without the voice?"

Ruby gave a small nodded. "Yeah, needs work."

Yang, still smiling, rolled her eyes. "Fine," she quickly went back to reading the back. "'As Spider-Man, it is up to restore the shattered fabric of reality across four distinct parallel worlds. Experience epic boss-themed levels and deal damage in a variety of ways as you take on the unique strengths of each of the four Spider-Men across each dimension.'"

"Cool!" Ruby exclaimed.

Weiss was unimpressed. "Again, why 'we'?"

Yang held up four fingers. "Four Spider-Men to play as "she then started rereading the back. "'2099: Explore a Futuristic New York City. Ultimate: Unleash the power of the Black Suit. Amazing: Battle with innovating web combat and Noir: Experience stealth-based gameplay.' Four people playing for removal of boredom."

"Yes!" Ruby said as she pumped her fist. "Boredom removal."

Weiss folded her arms. "No," stated firmly. "I don't want to play. "

Blake looked at Weiss. "Wait, do you even know how to play a video game?"

Weiss looked stunned for a minute but quickly recovered. "No, even if I did, wouldn't want to. I was just fine studying my notes."

"Come on, Ice Queen," Yang said.

"Hey!"

"Yeah, come on," Ruby started. "This could help with… teamwork."

Weiss looked unconvinced. "Teamwork? Really?"

Blake shrugged. "It does help with hand coordination and strategy, and it could be fun. Besides, you've been looking at the same notes for the past few days."

"Hey!"

"Yes!" Yang pumped her fist. "We have three for some action!"

Ruby grabbed Weiss's arm. "Come on, please." Weiss didn't say anything.

Yang smirked. "It's a shame you can't take a challenge."

Weiss frowned. "Fine, I'll play, but only once, and you can do whatever you want on your own."

Ruby quickly let go and jumped up in excitement. "Yes, Team RWBY will be playing Spider-Man: Shattered Worlds!"

"Dimensions," Blake corrected.

"That too! All in favor, say: Aye!"

"Aye!" Yang and Blake said, raising their hands.

"We just agreed," Weiss mentioned.

"Please?" Rudy begged.

Weiss just sighed as folded her arms. "Aye."

Ruby quietly pumped her fist. "Finally," she cheered softly.

Zwei kept barking at Yang as she started putting the game disc into the console. "Zwei, stop it!" Yang exclaimed. "Zwei! Ruby!"

Ruby quickly grabbed Zwei. He didn't struggle; he just continued to bark as Ruby sat on the ground. "Zwei, calm down," Ruby ordered.

Weiss looked at Ruby, who was still holding Zwei. "Didn't you have a new dog, whistle?"

"Blake broke it again," Ruby said quickly, avoiding the subject.

Weiss then looked to Blake, who was glaring. "Don't even think about buying a new one."

Weiss just slowly turned back around to the T.V., as if nothing happened, as Yang placed the disc into the game console. "Alright, let's play!" she shouted.

"Yeah!" Ruby and Blake shouted, well Blake in her own way.

Weiss just sighed as she shook her head.

The screen went black, and the game started.

(pages from what looks like comic pages begin to flip and soon revealing the title: Marvel.)

Ruby looked at Yang as she sat down, holding the controller. 'What's Marvel?"

Yang shrugged. "I don't know."

Blake looked at Weiss. "Do you know a company by that name?" she asked.

"No," Weiss answered. "But I wouldn't know all or any game companies anyway."

(On the screen the title appeared: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. And on a rooftop appeared, one of the Spider-Men on the cover jumped on to the roof, landing on his hands and feet looking out. And each one changed matching Spider-Men's background character. And the bottom was a label that read: Press the Start button)

"Press, Start!" Ruby cheered, causing her to let go of Zwei, who scurried away. "Press, Start!"

"Alright, Alright," Yang said and then pressed the start button on the controller.

(It the revealed a screen: that had empty like shell of the figure standing tall. Above it was the word: New game. And the bottom was a label that read: Select X/ Back: O)

"Press X for New game! Press X—"

"Ruby," Yang said. "I won't press anything if you say anything else."

Ruby pouted but remained quiet. Yang then pressed the X button on the controller.

(The amazing shot an out a web line and swung off the screen. The story was about to begin.)

"It's starting! It—"

"Ruby!" they all exclaimed. Ruby pouted again and remained quiet.

(In loading screen revealed an elderly woman with webs of strange figures behind her. She wore a peculiar red dress that covered her body with a white spider in the middle and red cloth over her eyes.)

"Who do you think that is?" Blake asked.

Yang shrugged. "Well, find out soon enough."

The city appeared and a building that looked like some type of museum. "Hey, there true believers!" an elderly man's voice spoke off-screen. "Watch, as once again, frightening forces are at work in our world ready to wreak havoc with our very existence." It pans into the museum, revealing all sorts of artifacts. One in the center case in the glass seems to be the one of interest. "Who or what prowls the halls of Empire State University after dark." In the dark appeared a strange-looking figure. He had a peculiar bubble-like helmet and purple cape with strange armor like underneath with purple smoke flowing behind and around him.

"He's… subtle," Blake said with a raised.

"The purple smoke completely gives him away," Weiss said, annoyed.

Ruby then looked at Yang, who looked puzzled. Ruby quickly pressed the start button. "Yang, I thought you would say something about his bubble helmet."

Yang looked at Ruby. "Oh, I was, and he has a fishbowl head, and I have more, but that old guy's voice."

"What about it?" Blake asked.

"I just I've heard it before. I just can't remember."

"Well, you can figure it out later," Ruby urged. "I wanna see what happens."

Yang shrugged. "I guess I'll figure it out later." She thought and then pressed Start, and the game started again.

"None, other than the master of illusion himself, the menacing Mysterio."

"Mysterio?" Ruby asked. "That's a really dumb name."

"I agree with Ruby," Weiss said. "Rarely, but I agree."

"I guess Mysterio is just mysterious?" Yang quipped.

All three just groaned. "That one was just bad," Blake said.

Yang just smirked in response.

Mysterio walked up to the glass case. "Ah," he said as soon as he was close enough. "The Tablet of Order and Chaos."

"There is NO subtly in this," Weiss said

"You're not wrong," Blake shrugged. "But it's like a comic book, and they're never subtle."

Weiss looked confused. "Wait, you read comics?"

Blake was quiet for a moment. "No comment."

As Mysterio admired the artifact, a figure jumped down, landing on the platform. He wore a skintight cloth, most likely Spandex, mostly blue with red gloves, boots, mid-section, and mask with a web pattern that covers the red portions of the suit, starting at the mask. It also had a black spider in the center of the chest and a more massive red spider on the back, both of different designs.

"Is that—" Weiss started to ask.

"Shhh," all three hushed not even looking away from the screen, Weiss just huffed.

"Selling you on the black market," Mysterio said as he lifted the glass case from around the Tablet. "is gonna make me a mint."

"Good, you could use a mint," said a voice.

Mysterio jumped, dropping glass case to shatter as it hit the ground. He quickly turned to the same figure with white lenses for eyes lower himself upside-down from a web line. "Ugh, I can smell your breath from here."

"Spider-Man?!" Mysterio shouted while he clenched his fist.

"Wait, how would you eat mint through that fishbowl?"

"Oh no," Blake groaned.

"I'm starting like this guy," Yang said with a smile.

Ruby turned to Yang with almost a deadpan look. "That's why she said, 'oh no.'"

Mysterio quickly slammed down some sort of capsule, and it exploded, creating more purple smoke. Out of the smoke appeared a snake hissing and snapping at the hero.

"Cool, he summoned a snake!" Ruby squealed.

Weiss just looked at her. "Please," she said. "It's clearly an illusion."

"I'm with Rudy," Yang said. Ruby didn't even turn around the two-high fived.

"I agree with Weiss," Blake said, causing Weiss to smile. "I should know."

"Nice," Amazing Spider-Man commented, unphased. "Don't get me wrong, your illusions are nifty."

Ruby groaned and slumped over, and Yang patted her shoulder as Weiss proudly smiled.

"But if you ask me," Amazing Spider-Man continued. "it could use a little more kick." He then quickly swung through the illusion and kicked Mysterio, launching him across the room and knocking over the Tablet and landed on the ground.

Blake facepalmed. "Oh no," she groaned again

"Oh, yes!" Yang shouted as she pumped her fist. "I officially like this guy."

Amazing Spider-Man looked to see Mysterio on the ground crawling towards the Tablet. "Uh-huh," Amazing Spider-Man stated. "souvenirs are available in the gift shop." He shot wed line from his hand, sticking to the Tablet and tossing it back.

Mysterio turned back to him as he held his hand out. "Stop it!" he yelled. "Cease your incessant prattling!" He started fire fireballs from his sleeves. Amazing quickly shot a wed line and swung away, just missing explosion.

Weiss folded her arms. "I agree with him." All three of the girls looked to Weiss. Weiss then looked at them, confused. "What?"

"And Weiss agreeing with the bad guy," Yang said.

"A little terrifying," Ruby added.

Weiss just huffed in response.

Amazing quickly swung and grabbed the rails from above as if he was sticking to them. "Incessant is the best kind of prattling," Amazing quipped and promptly moved. He started shoot shooting wed lines while dodging the fireballs and things getting destroyed in the process.

Mysterio soon stopped as he grabbed the Tablet, but when he did, it started to glow. Soon the glow began to travel up his arms. "What's. -What's this?" he exclaimed.

"Hey, bubblehead," Amazing yelled, revealing he had created a launching pad made of web. Mysterio only slightly turned holding the Tablet.

Weiss looked at Ruby. "He's as reckless as you."

Ruby smiled, almost proud. "Thank you."

Weiss just rolled her eyes.

"Think fast! Amazing yelled, and the launched himself at him. Mysterio quickly held the Tablet out in front of him and causing Amazing's punch to hit the Tablet, and it shattered. Soon a glowing green light spread across the screen.

Suddenly green light blasted off the screen, and Zwei started barking again as each girl gasped as they covered their eyes. "What's going on?!" Ruby exclaimed.

"I-I can't see!" Weiss exclaimed.

"Turn down the brightness, Yang," Blake shouted. "Turn it down! Pause the game and turn it down!"

Yang quickly pressed the start button and went to the T.V. to turn down the brightness, and as she soon as she touched it, the light stopped. Yang then leaned on T.V., "Blake, I have to say that thinking was pretty bright."

Girls groaned as their eyes started to adjust as Zwei's barking died down too.

Weiss blinked a bit more as her eyes finally adjusting. "What was that?" she asked.

Rudy looked at her partner, confused. "Light."

"I know that, why was it so bright?"

Rudy raised her eyebrow. "Then, why not ask why?"

"You know exactly what I mean."

"How high was the brightness was that?" Blake asked, stopping the argument.

Yang shrugged. "I don't know."

Weiss frowned. "What do you mean you don't know? You turned down the brightness, and you and Ruby practically the only ones that use it."

Yang shrugged again. "I don't know. I barely touched the button, and before I could check light went down, and brightness didn't even come up."

The girls slowly looked at the game console as Zwei was sniffing it and giving small whimper.

"Turn it off," Weiss said instantly.

"Why?" Rudy whined a little. "It was just some weird brightness issues."

"Do all games send out the bright blinding light?" Weiss asked.

"Uhhh."

"Exactly," Weiss said. "It could be something that spreads a virus and trick from Roman. It could be dangerous if we keep that thing."

Blake looked at Weiss skeptically. "Roman is tricky, but I doubt he would make a game just for a virus or anyone. Besides, Zwei found it and the games not even out yet."

"And he's been barking sniffing ever since got it!"

"He's a dog. I've seen him bark at my books sometimes."

Weiss huffed and folded her arms, annoyed.

'See Weiss," Yang said, sitting back down, picking up the controller. "You're more paranoid than Blake." Blake just gave a small glare. "Come its game. Worse happens again, we return, and I get my money back. And a possible discount from Reo later."

Weiss thought about it and sighed. "Alright, but if something else happens. I refuse to play, and you take it back."

Ruby squealed. "Yes, you heard her, Yang press start."

Yang quickly pressed Start, and the game started again.

The fragments of the Tablet flew out of the museum and out into the city. Back in the museum, the Amazing Spider-Man was holding his head in pain as Mysterio laughed manically. "Whoa," Amazing said bit dazed. "What was that?"

Mysterio continued to laugh and held a piece of the Tablet as he disappeared into the purple smoke leaving Amazing alone and a bit confused.

"Okay," Amazing stated still confused with his head turned from the center something started to appear behind him. "Can somebody tell me what's going on?"

The appeared an elderly woman with webs of strange figures behind her. She wore a peculiar red dress that covered her body with a white spider in the middle and red cloth over her eye but a bit blurred. "Spider-Man." Amazing gasped a bit frightened as he turned around to see the woman. "You are needed."

"Madame Web?"

"Madame Web?" they questioned in unison.

"That is not the name I imagined for her," Weiss stated.

"As if this night wasn't strange enough already," he mumbled.

"The Tablet of Order and Chaos," she spoke softly and sternly. "is the most powerful of all mystic artifacts in the world and shattered it."

"Yeah," he said a bit guilty. "Sorry about that." He then shrugged, "Guess they don't make tablets like they used to, huh?"

Weiss looked at Ruby. "I take it back; you two are both reckless."

Ruby smiled, almost proud. "Thank you again."

"That is not a compliment."

Ruby just continued to smile.

"The pieces," Madame Web continued. "are now fragmented across other dimensions. Dimensions that are strange reflections of our own" She waved her sending out a picture to him in vision. There was a black-and-white setting with a Spider-Man standing above some unconscious criminals, who then looks up as if hearing something. "a past unlike ours." The changes to s smaller one in a black suit with setting in color sitting on top of lamppost who also looks up as if he heard something. "a present-day out of sync." It then changes to the future-looking setting with a Future looking Spider-Man sticking on the building, who also looks up as if he heard something too. "and a distant future which may or may not come to pass." The visions fade out.

Amazing then points to one of the wed pictures. "Is that a cartoon pig?" he asked as if he heard none of that.

Madame Web quickly held her hand out, stopping him. "Focus!"

Yang and Blake turned to look at Weiss and Ruby. Ruby and Weiss looked at the two confused. "What?" they both asked, Ruby, confused, and Weiss annoyed.

Blake and Yang just gave an all-knowing smirk at each other.

"I require your help. Yours and the help of these three other Spider-Men. The humans into whose realities the fragment tablets fell."

Amazing quickly held his hands shook them, stopping her. "Whoa, whoa," he said a bit more seriously. "slowdown. Other realities? Other me's?" he questioned.

"Yes," she said as if it was simple. "I explained our dire situation to them. They will be your allies in this quest."

"But I'm the most charming, right?" he quipped as he pointed himself.

"Overbearing, conceded," Weiss added.

"You just literally met," Ruby said.

"And he's not even real," Blake added.

Weiss didn't even bother to respond.

"You must gather all the pieces of the tablet before they fall into the wrong hands or our reality as well as theirs will be utterly destroyed." She then disappeared before Amazing's eyes.

The Amazing Spider-Man sighed a bit exasperated and confused. "Yeah, right." He then shot a wed line and swung out. "No pressure or anything." The screen went dark.

"Well," Yang started. "she was… blunt."

"She's like Weiss and Goodwitch combined," Ruby stated.

Blake thought for a minute. "Wait, isn't that just Adult Weiss."

"Yep," Both Ruby and Yang said.

Weiss didn't say anything, but she tried to hide a smile.

The screen brightened, revealing a city building, and Amazing jumped on to the edge, landing on his hands and feet. "Alright, let's get started." He stated. "These Neighborhoods aren't going to friendly themselves."

"If you follow instructions," the voice, Madame Web, spoke, "I will assist you in finding the fragment. now"

Amazing gave a slight shrug. "Who am I to refuse a lovely lady?" he joked. "Lead on M.W." He then jumped up and stood on the roof's building.

(the health bar the appeared above the appear above.)

"Alright!" Yang shouted as she rubbed her hands together. "Starting the gameplay!"

"Okay," Blake said. "Who goes first?"

"Me!" Ruby yelled as she held her hand.

"Wait," Yang looked at her half-sister. "I bought the game." Ruby glared at Yang, and Yang glared back. "You know what we have to do."

"I've always known," Ruby responded.

Yang put down the controller, and the two stared at each other with a deadly glare.

Weiss sighed. "Are they going to do this again?"

Blake just looked at Weiss. "You know they are. They always do."

Ruby held up her hand, and Yang held up hers. "Ready?" Yang asked.

"Let's begin," Ruby countered.

Then…

"Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!"

Rudy quickly grabbed the controller. "Ha! Ha! I got it! I go first!"

Yang glared but gave a slow clap. "I'm so angry but so proud." as Blake just gave an amused smile as Weiss rolled her eyes.

"Alight," Madame Web. "You will need to reach that ledge. to begin your quest."

"Wait, this quest involves jumping?" Amazing asked in a teasing tone.

(Bottom of the screen read: Use L [left analog stick] to move)

Spider-Man started to walk towards the giant air conditioner

(Bottom of the screen read: Press X to Jump/Double Jump)

Spider-Man then jumped on to the large air conditioner. Then jumped and did a flip to get to the ledge above it, reaching the building wall.

"And now," Madame Web's voice came again." Now scale the wall with your unique adhesive abilities."

"Uh, I believe the technical term is "stick 'em powers.""

(Bottom of the screen read: Press L toward the surface to stick)

Amazing ran to walked to the jumped. Amazing's hands and feet contacted the building, and he started to crawl up the wall.

"Stick 'em powers?" Blake asked as Ruby was still focused on the screen.

"She did say unique adhesive abilities," Weiss said. "I didn't think he'd look like that though. He looks like… a spider."

Yang glanced at Weiss with her eyebrows raised. "You do remember what the game is called, right?" she teased.

Amazing Spiderman started to reach the top of the building and jump up on the ledge and stood on his feet. He was on a rooftop with rubble on it. His head started to show a small line coming out.

"I am augmenting your Spider-Sense. Now, instead of just detecting danger, you have the added abilities of seeing through objects, locating enemies, and discovering structural weaknesses in your environment."

"Coool," Amazing responded, genuinely happy.

(A textbox appeared)

"Okay," Ruby said aloud and started to read it. "' Press the down arrow to activate the Spider-Sense. With Spider-Sense, Spider-Man can: See enemies and interactive wall and reveal health states of enemies."

Yang whistled, impressed. "That is some power. I could use that."

"No," Blake said.

"No," Weiss added.

"No," Ruby said, not even turning from the screen.

"What?!" Yang exclaimed. "It would be awesome."

"For us, it would be," Weiss said. "But with you its… unstoppable thinking robot that can destroy everything in its path."

"What?!"

"She's right, you opening jars is scary enough," Ruby added.

Yang glared as Blake shrugged to hide her smile. "Et Tu, Ruby?"

Ruby just shrugged as she continued and clicked out of the text box and clicked the down button.

"I will bestow it upon other Spider-Men as well. Don't let weak structures or other obstacles block your path. Use your webbing to pull that wall down," Madame Web added.

The environment changed to a dull color around and highlight a piece of rumble, revealing something is there. Amazing got close to rubble an 'O' appeared moving up and down. The 'O' disappeared, and Amazing quickly shot a few wed lines and grabbed them, and started to pull back with his strength till the rumble broke. It then revealed a strange fragment with strange wording glowing floating off the ground.

Amazing walked up to it and took it. "Hey, look what I found."

"Excellent work. A job well begun is half done!"

"What?!" Ruby groaned. "Already." She then slumped to the ground, and Yang just smirked.

"Now to another Spider-Man! And to bestow a different gift upon him."

The scene quickly changed to different Spider-man in a completely black suit with a white spider on it, but for some reason, a black substance and he was a bit smaller in size.

"The Black Suit? What am I doing in the BLACK SUIT!? I hate this thing!" Ultimate Spider-Man exclaimed while sticking to the wall. The voice was different and younger than Amazing.

"Stay calm, young Peter. This suit has extra abilities you will need in your quest," Madame Web's voice cautioned.

"Like what tryin' to take over my body!?" he snapped a bit panicked.

"I said: stay calm! My psychic powers will keep it from overwhelming you." She assured.

"Yeah? Well?" a bit cynically as he shot a black web line. He then swung a platform that revealed he was in water powerplant.

"Okay!" Yang exclaimed she cracked her knuckles and grabbed the controller. "My turn."

"Why you?" Weiss asked.

Blake glanced at Weiss. "Wait, you didn't even want to play."

"Why you?" Weiss repeated, ignoring Blake's comment.

"What I like him," Yang admitted. "He's sarcastic and witty."

Ruby looked at Yang, confused. "So was the other one."

"More sarcastic and witty," Yang emphasized.

"That's a teenager," Blake stated. "Besides us," she quickly.

"Besides," Yang insisted. "I also like the suit. It looks," she quickly covers Ruby's ears. "sexier than the other suit." She then uncovered Ruby's ears. Ruby just glared. She hatted when she did that.

"Wait," Blake questioned. "Didn't he say that suit tried to take over his body?"

"And an air of mystery," Yang said with a sly smirk.

"Now, that retrieves the next fragment! Split spot!" Madame web persisted.

"Did you say spit-spot? He teased.

Yang smirked. Blake rolled her eyes. "Point taken," was all she could say.

"First, with your ability to Web Zip, you can travel quickly from perch point. Try it now."

(A textbox appeared on the screen.)

"Alright, 'wed zip,'" she started to read aloud. "Tap R2 (Right 2 button) to web-zip. Spider-Man to specific porch points in the environment.'"

"Alright." Yang focused on the screen as she presses the R2 button. "Let's do this."

"Go, Yang!" Ruby cheered.

Ultimate shot a web line from small light stands to be well balanced till he landed on the next platform and walked across a short walkway to the new platform with an enormous gap to the next one.

"Occasionally, in order to reach distant perch points, you will have to jump towards them and web-zip in mid-air," Madame Web instructed.

"Uh-huh," Ultimate muttered. "Talk about a leap of faith."

"And you can walk across narrow walkways such as this one without fear of falling, due to your natural agility and powers of adhesion."

"They're called "Stick 'Em Powers,"" he quipped. He then seemed to think for a moment. "Did one of the other me's make that joke already?"

"Yes," Madame Web said unamused. "And it was no funnier then."

"Ouch," Ultimate muttered.

All three girls started to look at Weiss. Weiss didn't even bother to look. "Stop that!" she exclaimed.

"The fragment is at the end of the corridor. Can you swing across to it?"

"Can I?" Ultimate asked smugly. "Lady, it's my trademark."

(A textbox appeared on the screen.)

"Trademark?" they exclaimed.

Weiss looked at Yang. "I thought this game was completely new."

"It is," Yang insisted. "Never heard of it. Not ever mentioned. This character is completely new."

Ruby shrugged. "Bad writing?"

The girls remained quiet, but Yang quickly started to read the textbox.

"' Spider-Man can web-swing almost everywhere. Hold R2 to Web Swing. Press X while swinging for a Speed Boost. Hold X anytime to perform Web Jump.'" Yang, she then scoffed. "Let's see this trademark." She then pressed x, and the held the R2 button.

Ultimate jumped in the and shot wed-line and started swinging. "I gotta admit," he said aloud while swing. "the suit does seem fairly under control. And I feel stronger... faster! Maybe this'll work out after all... fingers crossed!"

He jumped down on to the last platform to see a strange fragment with strange wording glowing floating off the ground. Ultimate then swiped it. "They're all gonna be this easy to find, right?" he asked almost seriously.

"No," Madame Web answered bluntly.

"Son of a—" Ultimate said about to curse.

"Alright," Yang than placed down the game controller. "Beat that."

Ruby glanced at her. "It a tutorial. No one can beat that."

"It's literally a tie."

Yang just smirked as if she still won.

"But now, I must turn my consciousness to the future! And to…"

The scene quickly changed to entirely different looking Spider-Man, almost futuristic like. It was similar to the other one but with a more skull-like spider and much bluer throughout. It also featured a cape made of a web-like material and a different skull-like mask. The hero stood on the building and behind a very futuristic city with flying cars speeding through the air. He then jumped down, almost like he was flying to down to the platform below landing on his feet.

"Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man of the year 2099."

"That's me," 2099 Spider-Man, he said proud and tall with a different voice than both Ultimate and Amazing. A bit older than Amazing but not too much older. "Ready to save the universe and lookin' good while doing it."

"Modesty is not their definition," Weiss muttered, but no one really responded, just hiding small chuckles.

There then was a building across the bridge shown. "The next fragment is close. Just ahead, in fact," Madame Web instructed.

"I'm on it.," he assured. He then started looking around a bit. "Gotta watch out, though. This area's property of the Alchemax corporation, and that means the Public Eye'll be everywhere."

"And what, pray tell, is a Public Eye?"

"Not a what, a who. The police force owned by Alchemax. And I'm not sure which is more corrupt."

"Alright, who's going—" Yang asked but then saw a hand reach for it and was surprised who's hand it.

"I'll go," Weiss said.

Ruby looked confused. "What?"

"I like the look of this… dimension," Weiss said as if she was trying to admit something. "I also like the plot of this one."

"Corporate scandal?" Blake questioned.

Weiss didn't say anything but had her focus as she moved the L analog stick forward.

2099 ran across the bridge and made it to the door but stopped, turned around, and looked up. Suddenly a massive future-looking ship came to the platform and slightly landed. "Speak of the devil. Here comes the Public Eye now!" he exclaimed.

"Many enemies will try to stop you from collecting fragments. You must defeat them in combat!"

"What?!" Both Yang and Ruby exclaimed, causing Weiss to pause the game.

"You get to do the combat first?!" Yang groaned.

Ruby flopped the ground dramatically. "How could my partner betray me?

Weiss just chuckled proudly.

"You two did want to go first," Blake mentioned. The sisters just groaned as if they were in some sort of agony as Weiss focused on the screen and pressed Start.

"Tell me about it!" he exclaimed as he shrugged. "I tried to defeat them in cards once. Didn't go so good."

A soldier then jumped out of the ship. "This one looks easy! Try a light attack."

(Bottom of the screen read: Press square, square, square to perform a Spider Attack.)

2099 ran up to the solider, and he gave him to side swift punches and on final uppercut, and solider was then launched into the air and landed on the ground.

"Weiss, you did it!" Ruby cheered.

"Shhh," Weiss hushed, not even turning. "I'm trying to focus."

Ruby just squealed with excitement.

"Here comes another! Perhaps something stronger?"

"Keep the battle tips coming, lady. It's like having Sun Tzu as a light coach."

Another soldier jumped from the ship.

(Bottom of the screen read: Press triangle, triangle for Spider Strike.)

2099 ran forward once again and gave two swift jump kicks again, launching the solider back and land on the ground.

"Is it me, or does he seem faster than the other ones?" Blake questioned.

"I mean," Ruby shrugged. "I guess it is the future, so it has to be faster."

"Or Weiss pressing so fast cause she is excited," Yang teased.

Weiss bushed a little, but she quickly recovers. "That's not even remotely true!"

"She says: not turning away from the screen."

"Yang!"

"Impressive! With your strength, you can possibly even knock enemies into the air."

"Sure, can. Wanna see?" 2099 teased.

"Try to hit him while he's airborne." Another soldier came from the ship.

(Bottom of the screen read: Press triangle to perform an Air Launcher)

2099 ran to solider and gave him a sweep kick lancing him the air causing him to land.

Another soldier soon came out of the ship.

"You must never miss an opportunity to subdue an enemy - even in the air."

"Now this just overkill. And yet... so cool."

(Bottom of the screen read: Hold triangle then press square, square, square to perform an Ariel Rush)

2099 soon performed, and another swipe kick launching the soldier in the air. 2099 quickly jumped up and delivered several quick punches and kicks. The man landed roughly on the ground.

Soon another soldier came out of the ship.

"Now, try to grab your enemy."

(Bottom of the screen read: Press O to grab enemies)

2099 once again ran to the soldier by his collar.

(Bottom of the screen read: Press square, square, square to perform a Grab Attack)

2099 then gave several fast punches. He webbed the person and started to swing him around overhead

"Isn't that over—" Blake began to say.

He was then launched off the platform in the air.

"Never mind," she said quickly.

"Oh no!" 2099 exclaimed worriedly. "I didn't mean to—"

Before the man hit anything or fell to his death, he physically disappeared.

"Make him disappear?" he questioned, confused.

"You didn't," Madame web interjected. "have saved him from peril and transported him to safety to a dimensional rift caused by the Tablet. But please," she said a bit more sternly and a bit exasperated. "try not to be cavalier next time."

2099 then looked up. "Good to know you got my back!" he replied, sounding happy. "Guess, I'll just worry about my front."

"You better not be looking at me! Stop that!"

Soon three soldiers came from the ship ready to fight.

"Beware, Spider-Man - here come the last three! Take them out how so ever you choose... make it good!"

"You are one bloodthirsty old chick, I like it!"

2099 Spider-man quickly ran to the three and delivered punches and kicks.

"Keep going, Weiss!" Ruby cheered as she shook Weiss excited as she was trying to contrate as pressed different buttons. "You can do this! Poke those Public Eyes!"

"I'm trying to concentrate," Weiss said, not even bothering to look at her.

"Come on, Bestie!"

"No."

As soon as they were defeated, the futuristic doors open to reveal a strange fragment with strange wording glowing floating off the ground. 2099 then walked up to it swiped it. "Ahh... that was a good warm-up," 2099 said, sounding like he was stretching. "So, when do I get a real challenge?" he questioned teasing.

"I fear it will be sooner than you think," Madame Web answered honestly.

Weiss smiled proudly. "See, I told you I could play."

Ruby smiled. "Proudly, and you loved it!"

Weiss scoffed. "No, I didn't, but if I'm going to something, I'm going to do it right,"

Yang smirked. "Then, you can you let go of the game controller you're gripping so tightly?"

Weiss looked down and noticed she was still gripping the game controller tightly as if she wanted to continue. Weiss slightly embarrassed quickly put it down, causing Ruby and Yang to chuckle.

"I turn my attention from the future to a world set in the past..."

The scene changes to a black and white setting with different Spider-Man upside-down on a web line. It was an all-black suit with a black jacket and black boots with more google like eyes and black gloves. He then lowered himself and looked around to reveal he was in the train station.

"Say your prayers, punks - here comes the Spider-Man," the Noir Spider-Man said. His voice was a little bit deeper and dark than the others. He also seemed to be the age of 2099 Spider-man. "Whadda, we got here?'

The train station was filled with goons, who had guns walking around the train station as if they were guarding something. "Looks like criminal forces in this world have already found one of the fragments! They've taken over the station."

Noir scoffed. "And this used to be such a nice place." He then jumped down on the lamp post.

"Blake," all the three girls said at the same time.

Blake looked at them with an eyebrow raised. "Why me?" she asked. "Cause he wears black? Cause he stays in shadow? Because he's dark?"

Yang looked both confused. "No," she said. "Cause there's four of them, and this the last one."

Blake slowly picked up the controller. "Oh," was all she said as she faced the screen.

Ruby leaned into Yang. "I thought it was those things?" she whispered.

"Oh yeah, that too," Yang whispered.

"I can hear you."

"Yeah, I knew that too."

Underneath the lamppost was a goon under who didn't notice Noir on the lamppost. "Use the shadows to your advantage. See if you can subdue these opponents silently - with stealth attacks."

"You read my mind, sister."

"Yes," Madame Web said in a bit of matter of fact tone. "That's what I do."

(A textbox appeared)

"' Stealth Takedown,'" Blake read aloud. "' Press O to perform a Stealth Takedown. Spider-Man can perform Stealth Takedown on unsuspecting enemies under the following conditions: enemies are unaware of Spider-Man's presence, and Spider-Man is close enough to the enemy's back.'"

"Wait," Ruby started. "Why does he need stealth? They all look pretty strong."

Weiss looked at Ruby. "Strength isn't everything."

"I know. It's not, but in the game, it doesn't seem like that cause."

"Maybe," Blake said, not even looking from the screen. "Maybe he's not a strong as the others. He needs the shadows."

Yang looked at Blake, a little unsure. "You sure."

Blake didn't answer but pressed O.

Noir shot some web line attaching to man. He then pulled, and goon was upside and pulled up panicked, but unheard. He was yanked up. Noir the webbed him up in the cocoon.

"That was…" Yang started. "Brutal."

Blake shrugged, not looking. "He can't get caught that way."

All three looked a bit frightened as Blake didn't even bother to turn.

"Those typewriters they're slinging are no joke," Noir noticed. "Won't last long if they open up on me."

"Agreed. If an enemy spot you, it is imperative to defeat him quickly or retreat, either into the shadows or high above. I have gifted you the new web-swinging powers - they will be useful in that respect."

Noir chuckled. "Oh, I like this. Thanks for the enhanced powers, lady. The webs normally just kinda splatter everywhere."

"Use your Spider-Sense to locate the fragment."

"Typewriters?" Ruby questioned.

"I think he means the guns," Yang answered.

"Who talks like that," Weiss questioned.

"I mean, this is the past," Blake mentioned.

Ruby shrugged. "I mean grandpa never talked liked that."

Yang glanced at Ruby. "Consider things he did say: He wasn't allowed to speak to anyone."

The environment changed to a dull color around and highlight a cage across the train station. "There! Through that gate!"

"Got 'em, Blake!" Ruby and Yang cheered.

Blake didn't even look at them, but she couldn't help but give a small smile.

The environment goes back to normal. Noir jumped down from the lamp post and was behind another goon. Noir shot the web line around the man and pulled him forward. As the goon flew towards him, Noir did a quick flip and then delivered a kick to the stomach causing the goon to land on his stomach. Noir then gave a couple of quick punches to the head and then webbed him to the ground.

(a textbox appeared)

"' Stealth Mode," Blake read. "' Shadows are your friends! Use them to your advantage to surprise your enemies or slip past dangerous situations unnoticed. Stealth Takedown can be performed in various positions.'"

"This guy gets around," Yang said.

"He's… a bit more…" Weiss started.

"Dark."

"Horrifying mysterious."

"Yes, and extreme."

Noir slowly and carefully walks down the stairs standing a reasonable distance away from another goon. Noir shoots another wed line around the man's mouth and pulled back. This time he let the goon land on his back and delivered quick, fierce punches knocking the man out cold. Noir then webbed him to the ground. Noir later wed lined and swung himself to the top of the ticket booth and then jumped down and behind another goon. Noir once again shot a web line around the goon's mouth and pulled him back. This time he grabbed his leg and slammed him down, landing on his stomach, unconscious. He then webs him down. Noir climbs the stairs. He starts to climb on the side of the wall. He chuckled softly. "Now we're talking. This new wall-crawling ability will help me get the drop on these bozos."

The others didn't seem to notice or just didn't say anything, but Blake heard it. Before this, he couldn't even climb walls. He just had, maybe, slightly increase strength and maybe spider-sense. He has very little and still fights like the others. Blake looked at the character with some admiration. It takes a strong person to fight when they have nothing.

Noir soon crawled over and dropped on to another lamppost over another goon. Noir shot down a wed line over the man's mouth and pulled him up. As soon as he was up, Noir delivered quick, fierce punches knocking him out cold and then webbed him up in a cocoon.

He then jumped down and stood in a corridor. "The fragment is close! I feel its presence!" Madame web exclaimed. "May I suggest a stealth attack on this dirty louse."

"Lady," Noir said, almost amused. "You're alright."

Noir slowly walked down the hall. Noir then turned the corner with the goons back to him as he walked behind. Noir grabbed him by his back collar and slammed him into the wall several times, knocking him out and webbed him to the wall. Noir runs to the gate, when he did, an 'O' appeared moving up and down. The 'O' disappeared, and Noir shot quickly shot a few wed lines and grabbed them, and started to pull back with his strength till the gate was broken and fell down. It then revealed a strange fragment with strange wording glowing floating off the ground. Noir walked up, swiped it.

"And that's the end of that," Noir said proudly. It then flashed out to white.

Blake gave a small smile as Ruby and Yang gave small cheers.

"Yes! Pass the tutorial!" Yang said.

"This the beginning!" Ruby cheered.

The screen revealed a web that looked like shattered glass as each Sider-Men appeared looking mitch-match as they walked over and held the Tablet up. "No, Spidey, it's just the beginning!" The narrator exclaimed.

"Told you."

"Across many dimensions, these four, fearless Spider-Men, in all their various incarnations must fight to reasonable the Tablet of Order and Chaos!" The screen flashed again to revealed Amazing swinging through the city. "Not just for the sake of their own worlds, but for the fate of every world in every dimension! Good luck, web-slingers! We're all counting on you!"

The scene revealed Madame Web in an abandoned apartment Amazing walked with a slightly bigger fragment piece than he originally had. "You've recovered the first quarter of the Tablet. Excellent," Madame Web praised.

"I've always good at scavenger hunts," Amazing commented as he handed over to her.

Madame Web looked over the piece. "Like moths to a flame, those with evil hearts will be drawn to the unleashed power of the Tablet," she explained as she let go of it and guided to levitate up and created a mystic bubble around it. "gaining new and frightening powers. So far, you have been fortunate that none of them have fallen into enemy hands."

Spiderman gestured some slight frustration, and he wasn't the only one.

"Why'd you have to go and say that/ Why did she have to say that?!" they all exclaimed, echoing Amazing.

Amazing shook his head. "Man, what a jinx!"

The fragment soon sent out a small pulse, and a flash of light came across the screen.

It then cut to a different abandoned apartment, with a large fragment piece on a table and Mysterio walking to the window, who was quite annoyed. "Bah! Useless hunk of nothing..." he turned to see it glowing again. He then walked towards it. "Wait! What's this?" Once he grabbed it, the green magic came up his arms. "Ahhh, yes! Power! This is what real power feels like" he admired. He then lifted his hand as the green glow stopped. His hand then glowed purple up his arm. "No more parlor tricks and sleight of hand!" The purple glow then turned into a real purple snake. "Mysterio is now the Master of REAL MAGIC!" He held his hand out, and the light flashed across the screen. The flash died to reveal he broke the window. He then created a purple mist and stepped on to it, and he then floated out of the window on top of it. "And this is just the beginning!" he then laughing wickedly as he drifted into the city, and the screen faded to dark.

"Huh," Yang said. "I'm sure everything will be fine," she said a bit sarcastically.

Blake turned with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah, he's just excited about becoming a real magician."

"Uh guys," Ruby started. "The screen still dark."

The girls looked at the screen for another minute, nothing.

Ruby groaned and flopped to the ground. "It broke already?! It was just the tutorial! I wanted to see the villains! I wanted to with the Spider-Man."

"Spider-Men," Blake corrected.

"Yes, them too!"

Weiss just glanced at Yang. "Yang."

Yang sighed as she stood up. "Yeah, Yeah," she groaned as she walked to the game counsel as Zwei was sniffing at it again. "I'll take it back. He better give me back my—"

"You are needed."

The girls froze as Yang stopped as she was about to touch it.

"Madame Web?" Ruby questioned, recognizing the voice.

"It's working?" Blake asked.

"But I still can't see anything," Weiss added.

Yang shrugged. "Maybe the picture's just gone."

"This dimension has been connected."

The girls froze again a bit more freaked out than before as they all stiffly looked around.

"It-it feels like it's closer," Weiss said as looked around. "like it's in the room."

Ruby started to slowly sit up. "Yang?" Ruby said with slight fear in her voice.

"Yeah?"

"Remember those horror movies we watched?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't want to be like them!" Ruby screamed immediately cause Weiss to scream if not the mysterious voice then by Ruby's outburst.

Blake was even starting to freak out. "Take it out! Take it out!"

Yang quickly went to open it, but as soon as she touched, she winced and snapped her hand back. "It's stung me!" she yelled. She quickly tried again with the same results. "Ahh! I can't! It keeps stinging me!"

"Fight through the sting, woman!" Ruby yelled, still freaked out.

"Destroy that thing!" Weiss yelled.

"No, not our baby!"

"You all are needed."

Zwei started barking again, and no one bothered to stop him. Yang raised her hand to slam it but was shocked so hard was pushed back away from the game console.

Blake quickly stood and got the door holding on the handle. "I'm getting someone to—ahhhh!" Blake screamed as she used her free hand to grab her side, barely standing up, leaning on the door handle, panting as if she had just finished a fight

Weiss quickly got up running to her. "Blake! What's— ahh!" Weiss screamed in pain as she grabbed her stomach and fell on her knees till she finally fell flat on her stomach.

"Weiss!" Ruby and Yang yelled, horrified.

Yang was about to go over to the two girls when she screamed in pain as well and found herself leaning on the T.V. with Zwei barking more frantically.

"Yang!" Ruby exclaimed, horrified as she started to get up. "Someone! Someone hel— ahhh!" Ruby soon found herself screaming in pain as she fell on her side as she wrapped her arms around her and groaned in pain.

Ruby's body started to glow in flashes of green light as she groaned, still squeezing herself. Yang's eyes widened. "Ruby?" she questioned through her pain.

Ruby could barely lift her head off the ground as she looked up at Yang weakly as she flashed in and out as if she was a failing hologram. "Yang…," she said weakly. "I… don't feel so…" Ruby then disappeared.

"RUBY!" Yang yelled, this caused Zwei to whimper and sniff where Ruby once was.

Weiss and Blake did their best to turn to or even to move but little avail.

Yang looking soon started to glow green, and as soon as she looked up and say the game console, her eyes turned bright red. Yang, with every bit of strength and anger she could muster, she tried her best to stand and destroy the console, but soon she began too, she flashed green until she disappeared.

"B-Blake," Weiss said weakly. Blake turned slowly to Weiss as she was flashing green as well.

"Weiss don't…" Blake started to say but stopped as she couldn't do anything.

"Get… help." Weiss then disappeared.

Blake frowned but, with all her strength, tried to open the door, and soon she started to glow green. Zwei soon came up to the door and scratched it. Slowly the door opened. "Zwei... get help," Blake said weakly. As she started falling down, she disappeared. Zwei squeezed his little boy through the cracked door and ran out barking. The room was completely empty as if no one was ever there.

Ruby slowly blinked open her eyes. She slowly stood up… she was in a deep empty space, alone. "What happened?" she questioned herself. She looked around, then frantically. "Yang?" no answer. "Yang?! Yang?!"

"Ruby?!" Ruby started to look around for her sister. "Ruby, where are you?!'

"I don't know! It's all black!" Ruby looked behind her to see an anxious Yang. Ruby smiled as she ran to her sister. "Yang!"

Yang looked to see her sister. She then hugged Ruby. "Are you okay?" she asked as she spun her around. "You just disappeared."

"I'm fine, but you disappeared too, are you okay?" Ruby said as she let go of her sister.

"Wait, you weren't there? How do you know?"

"You're here," Ruby said, and then she looked around with a worried expression. "What is here?"

Yang didn't answer as she didn't know herself. It was like being in a dark room, except the room was huge. In fact, the room felt and looked like it went on for miles in any direction.

"Ruby! Yang! Ruby! Ruby and Yang quickly looked around until they saw Weiss looking just as confused and worried as Weiss began walking towards them.

"Weiss!" Ruby called as she ran to meet Weiss. Weiss noticed that Ruby running towards her about to hug as moved to the side, and Ruby fell to the ground, flat on her face.

"No," Weiss said. She then looked at Yang. "What happened? Where are we?"

"A dark empty space," Yang said nonchalantly.

Weiss frowned as Ruby started to get up. "I'm serious."

"I am," Yang said, slightly teasing. "I don't know where we are, but a dark empty space."

"Well, she has a point," Ruby pointed out as she rubbed the back of, he head.

Weiss just huffed in annoyance. "Maybe Blake got help," Weiss suggested.

"No," all three girls turned to see Blake walking towards them, looking pretty neutral about the situation, which was not a surprise.

"Okaay," Yang said. "This might be a problem."

Weiss the turned and glared at Yang. "When was it not a problem."

"But," Weiss, Yang, and Blake looked towards Ruby. "Who did this?"

"Team, RWBY."

The group quickly turned to the voice and stood in their fighting positions. Suddenly Madame Web appeared in her chair with weds surround behind her, revealing various Spider-Men and women in front of the confused group of huntresses. "You all are needed."

The group stared at her, confused, silent, and shocked.

"Uh, what?" Ruby asked utterly lost.
