Chapter 3

The Hunt

Ruby as quickly as she could stood on her feet, still face to face with the Amazing Spider-Man, who still looked confused. "Hi, again," Ruby said a bit anxiously as she put her Crescent Rose away behind her. "I'm Ruby Rose, and your…" Before Amazing could even question or respond, Ruby cut him off. "No, no, no, wait. I know. You're Spider-man. I don't know why I asked that. I mean more specifically the Amazing Spider-Man. At least, that's what Madame Web called you. I mean one of the you(s). Cause I didn't even know anything that would make you—"

"Wait, wait," Amazing Spider-Man said stopping Ruby. "Madame Web sent you?"

"Yeah! She sent me. I mean she actually took me. I mean us, to help you. Actually, me and you."

Amazing quickly held up his hands. "Okay, okay, little red riding hood," he said stopping, again a bit anxious Ruby. "You said Madame Web sent you? And wait she called me Amazing?"

Ruby shrugged. "Well, she didn't say it with… greatness."

Amazing shrugged. "Eh, take whatever you get. Besides that, why are you here and why was I almost the big bad wolf?"

Ruby thought for a minute. "Wait, long story or short story?"

"Normally, I'd like a long story but I'm in a bit of a rush."

"Oh, yeah," Rudy mumbled. "My sister bought a game that wasn't a game and when you shattered the Tablet thing, it connected our realities and if we don't find the tablet piece: my whole reality could be gone and so will the one that's married to you. And I'm really sorry about almost shooting you I was just using a landing strategy and I thought you would just be a bird."

Amazing stopped for a minute to process the situation only to respond. "Wait, I'm married to you?"

Ruby shook her head, freaking out. "Not me! Older me! Other me! And I could not exist. Neither you or our others!

Amazing quickly grabbed Ruby's shoulder. "Okay, okay, okay. Ruby, you just need to breathe."

"I am."

"Slower." Ruby started taking deep breathes to calm down. Amazing couldn't help but chuckle a little. She was just as… well socially awkward as he is… well as Peter Parker is. Ruby breathing started to slow a bit finally seeming to be calm. "Remind me, never to introduce you to Jameson."

"What?"

"Don't worry about it," Amazing quickly said. He then examined her. She was just 15 years old by the look of it almost… innocent. Granted, he couldn't talk, and she could do so damage and looked like she knew what she was doing. But why would Madame Web send her? She always had a reason as crypt as she was, she always had a point. "So, you're the hero of your world?"

Ruby scuffed her feet bit shyly. "Not exactly, I'm a huntress in-training and… me and my team are kinda the only ones who know about this. And you got me."

"Huntress -in-training?" Spider-man questioned. Ruby just nodded. "Okay, do you have any powers?"

Ruby smirked a bit and in a red blur, Ruby was gone with only rose petals left behind. Amazing was shocked. "What? Ruby? Ruby? Little red riding hood? I won't huff, I promise."

"Behind you." Amazing quickly turned behind him to see Ruby, smiling and pointed at herself. "See. I'm fast. That's my semblance."

"Semblance?" Ruby nodded with a smile. "You know, I'd like to learn more about that, but we have to find the—" Suddenly his back of his head started tingling. He then looked to the side.

Ruby looked to Amazing confused. "What? What is it? Is it your Spider-sense thing?"

Amazing looked at Ruby confused. "Wait, how did you know—"

"I played you in the gameplay…" Ruby than thought. "I mean I watched you… I think…" Ruby sighed as she grabbed her head. "Okay, my heads starting to hurt.

"Well," Amazing said. "Hope this helps. My spider-sense picked up a fragment."

Ruby smiled as pumped her fist. "Yes! Let go!" She then walked toward the edge of the roof. She stopped as she realized something. She slowly turned back to Amazing. She just could feel the smirk on his face. She had a feeling this guy was like Yang both good and bad. "Uh, I forget I was on a roof and I'm not in my… zone."

Amazing pointed behind him. "Hop on, I'll tip you later." Ruby grinned as she quickly ran behind Amazing and hopped on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Please, remain from kicking or screaming in the ear while on Air-Spidey," he quipped. Before Ruby could question it, Amazing shot a web line from his hand grabbed on, swung off the building and to swing from building to building. As he swung with Ruby on his back, she wasn't screaming but… somewhat cheering. Honestly… he wasn't used to it unless it was MJ.

"Wahoooooo!"

"You've done this before?" Amazing questioned.

"Ummm, sorta of," Ruby answered over the wind. "I rode on the back of Grimm… wasn't as fun as this if it makes you feel better."

"Umm, thanks."

"You're welcome," Ruby answered with almost of kind innocence.

Amazing soon felt his Spider-sense go off again. "Okay," he said aloud. "Here's our stop." He soon let go of the web line and landed on the building, stick on the side and started to climb up as Ruby still held on. "Swing around long enough, and my new upgraded Spider-Sense points us towards a fragment." He said as he continued to climb to an open window.

"Is it the building?" Ruby asked as they got closer.

"Definitely sensing something from inside the," he soon stopped, and Ruby looked over to see what was in the room. The room was filled with all sorts of stuffed animals' heads mounted on the wall and even dinosaurs' heads. "Uhhh... jungle room?"

He soon jumped in the room and Ruby quickly let go and land on her feet as Spider-Man landed on all his hands and feet. Ruby looked around. "This is…uh… Okay, It's really creepy." Ruby admitted.

"Yeah," Amazing said looking at dinosaur head mounted on the wall. "If I'm right, which I'm really hoping I'm not, which is usually isn't the case: we might wanna get out of here as soon as possible."

Ruby was going to question but honestly chose not to but looked at ahead instead. She smiled. "Well, that won't be a problem cause I found it." She pointed ahead.

Amazing looked ahead to where Ruby pointed. At the end of the hall, there was a platform holding a tablet piece on it. "And there's Mr. Tablet Fragment," he said and the two started walking towards it as quietly as and as quickly as possible. "Right there waiting for us to grab it."

"This is… really easy," Ruby said insecurely.

"Yeah," Amazing agreed. "Which can only mean one thing." Quickly his Spider-Sense went off. "Move!" he yelled. He quickly jumped out of the way and Ruby used her semblance and speed ahead. "IT'S." As soon as he landed on the ground and Ruby was standing beside him, his Spider-sense went off and again. As soon as he moved, Ruby quickly used her semblance again as darts flew out and Amazing maneuvered through them as the speeding Ruby split and dodged the darts as well. "A. TRAP!" Amazing and Ruby soon landed at the end of the hall near the platform. Amazing quickly grabbed the Tablet piece. "Gotcha!"

Ruby sighed. "That's really… a lot more than I thought," she said. Amazing continued to look at the fragment a bit confused. "Spider-Man? What's wrong?"

"That wasn't so bad, actually," Amazing said aloud a bit concerned.

Ruby thought for a moment. He wasn't wrong. It wasn't like fighting the White Fang, Grimm, or a giant robot. It was just a lot for a hallway. So was he saying… "Wait, what could be—"

Suddenly Amazing quickly turned to the side feeling his Spider-Sense go off again and Ruby followed. They saw a silver cinder like object and before the two could move, it quickly sprayed an orange smoke. "Oh, COME ON!" Amazing exclaimed as Ruby tried to cover her mouth and nose. Amazing's head started to feel like it was spinning and fell to the ground unconscious and the tablet piece fell out of his hand.

"Spidey!" Ruby yelled in worry. Ruby's head started to feel like it was spinning. "Really… really dizzy," she said weakly. She tried her best to pull out Crescent Rose but soon gave in and she fell to the ground unconscious as well beside him.

As the two laid on the ground completely knocked-out and the smoke cleared, a man from the other side of the platform appeared. He was a large muscular man with black hair and a mustache and had some sort of markings on his arms he was dressed in a lion-faced vest that still revealed his abs, a zebra belt with spikes and leopard print pants and flat brown boots. He walked into the room. He chuckled as he picked up the tablet beside the still unconscious Amazing Spider-Man. "Rest now, my preys," he said in a Russian accent as he stood up and looked over two with a grin. "Save your strength. For when you awake, we begin... THE HUNT!" He then laughed as he walked away from them and his men quickly grabbed the two unconscious heroes behind him.

"Mom…"

"It's okay. It's okay. I'll come back."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"And bake cookies?"

She chuckled. "And bake cookies."

"Okay… I love you, mommy."

"I love you too, my little Rose."

Amazing slowly blinked open his eyes as his world came into view. He soon saw he was no longer in the hallway where the Tablet was as the ground was no longer carpet and his head still hurt. He really hated when this happened. "Unnnhhh... Kraven!" He groaned as he started to get up. "That maniac. Where has he taken me this time?" he somewhat ranted as he steadied himself. "What horrible death trap will I have to overco…" He finally looked around in his environment. It was jungle-like but not even... deadly looking but like he was in some abandoned ancient ruins. "Hey! This is a pretty nice view, actually." He stopped looking at the view when he realized something. "Ruby? Ruby? Ruby?" He then looked over to the far side of the platform to see her laying on the ground, still unconscious. Amazing quickly ran over to her. He kneed down and lifted her by her shoulders and shook her. "Ruby. Come on, Ruby. You need to wake up."

"Mo—" she mumbled still unconscious. "5… 5 more minutes."

Amazing sighed with relief. At least the gas didn't mess with her too badly. "You know I would but to be honest not the greatest place for 5 minutes."

Ruby started to blink open her eyes. "S-Spidey?" she questioned a bit weakly. "Why-why are there two of you?"

"I would be flattered, but only one of me… well at least as charming," he quipped as he let go of Ruby and Ruby groaned as she grabbed her head and slowly started to stand up.

Ruby was a bit shaky as she stood up straight. "Uhh, I feel like… something really hit me, and it wasn't Yang."

"That would be Kraven's knock out gas, you get used to it after a while."

"Umm, no thanks," she said more firmly as her head stopped spinning. "Wait, Kraven? Uh, who's Kraven?"

"He's Sergei Kravinoff. He goes by Kraven the Hunter… he go to the same hunter and huntress school you do?"

"No, no, … we don't use knock out gas… and not in the same dimension." Ruby then looked ahead. "Does he have the fragment?"

"Well, yeah, probably took it during our force" Amazing said, following her gaze. "If I know Kraven, the only way to get out and get what we want and play by his rules." He then looked Ruby. "Are you sure you can do this? You can—"

Before Amazing could finish, Ruby quickly wiped out Crescent Rose and cocked it. "This is my job too," she firmly. "I can do it."

Amazing nodded. "Alright," he the shot a wed line on in the tree. "Follow the spider." He then started to swing away over the gap.

Ruby quickly ran and turned into red blurry and flew over the gap with rose petals behind. She landed only to see a much bigger gap. "Oh boy," she mumbled.

Amazing landed on the small platform and turned back to see Ruby looking worried. "Need a taxi?" he called.

Before Ruby could answer, "Fear not Ms. Rose," Ruby jumped as looked around. "If you recall, I extended you semblance. It will allow you to maintain your speed for much longer and allow you to cross large gaps."

"Madame Web? Where—" Ruby stopped. "Oh yeah, in my head… that's creepier than I thought."

"Focus."

"Yes, ma'am."

"And beware do not push yourself, for it could be your downfall."

"Ummm."

"Ruby! I'm coming back."

Ruby snapped of… well, her own mind and quickly ran a became red with again rose petals and speed across the large gap and landed. Ruby looked back with sparkles of excitement in her eyes. "That was amazing!" She then turned to Amazing. "Did you see that?! Madame was right."

"Wait," Amazing said. "She was talking to you. Did she say anything else?"

Ruby stopped and thought. "Just that she upgraded my semblance."

Amazing shrugged and jumped on a large tree branch on the ground. "Let's get going." He then ran across it. Ruby followed. She hated to lie but… her home was in trouble and she wanted to help, and she needed to prove she could handle this. Besides she wouldn't push herself too hard.

They soon crossed the last gap and landed on their feet. There was closed large wooden gate and a stone path, that led towards it. There he stood in front of the gate. "That's—" Ruby started.

"Kraven."

"Got it."

"Welcome, Spider-Man and his young protégé," Kraven said. "Welcome to the jungle."

"I am not his protégé," Ruby said. "I am a huntress-in-training."

"Yep, just the intern," Amazing add.

"Right," Ruby stopped and sent a slight glare but didn't bother to respond to Amazing and went back to Kraven. "We just want the tablet back. It's dangerous."

"Ah this," Kraven said as he held up the tablet fragment as it was glowing. Ruby was stepped forward but Amazing quickly held his arm out stopping her. "This rock - it holds great power, no?" he lowered his arms and had a look the looked almost like a deadly animal snarling his prey. "I could use it to crush you both... like a bug."

"That wouldn't be very sporting of you, wouldn't it?" Amazing countered.

"Ah," Kraven started with almost a devilish look on his face, "you speak a great truth! Let it be your prize then if you can survive my gauntlet." Ruby wanted to argue but at this point, there was no point in arguing as she had no idea how to deal with Kraven. "Your powers against my skills, your brains against mine." Kraven then jumped high in the air over the large wooden gate disappearing behind him. "Come!" He called. "Enter my game of death! Claim your trophy - if you dare!" Then the large wooden gate opened revealing inside.

Ruby looked to Amazing still holding Crescent Rose. "Is he really hunting us?" she questioned.

"Yeah," Amazing admitted. "He does it every time he comes to town. Knocks me out, he makes do his hunts. I try to escape, fun day."

Ruby looked at him a bit worried as he made it sound as if it was normal. "He has the tablet. We have to get it back."

"Yeah," Amazing said. "We just have to play by his rules."

"Uhh, can we trust him?" Ruby asked.

"Kraven may be crazy, but he takes his honor code seriously," Amazing looked ahead as Ruby followed his gaze. "We'll play his game." Amazing and Ruby at the same time and ran the wooden gate as the two then sung across the first gate leading them deeper into the ruins as the gate closed behind them.

"Hurry! Hurry!" Kraven called as if his voice was everywhere Amazing on his web line launched himself from one small platform on to another while Ruby sped to and on them.

"So, you want me to run through the jungle? Should I not look back?" Amazing quipped aloud.

"Do not mick me, Spider-Man!"

"You're really pushy for a hunter," Ruby commented. "We're coming."

As the two swung, jumped, and sped across the small platforms. Ruby found two things interesting. One: the ruins it was pretty amazing. It was like something out of time in great condition. Kraven did a lot to just hunt them. She still wasn't too comfortable with being… hunted. Grimm, sure. Roman, yeah, he hated her, but he wouldn't do it for sport just revenge. … Great, she didn't know which was worse? And two: was the Amazing Spider-Man himself. He… well, he reminded her a lot like Yang. Such, he joked, badly, but ever since she came here he cared about her like… she was his responsibility too. She was glad but at the same time… deep down… angry.

"Come, come! We have only scratched the surface!"

Ruby ahead of Spidey as he swung high in the air as she landed near the flat wall. Soon Amazing landed next to her.

"Uh, is he always this impatient?" Ruby asked.

"No," he answered. "seeing him be so excited is creeping me out."

"Oh, uh, that's… scary."

Amazing shrugged. "You get used to it."

"I really don't want to."

Amazing went up started climbing up the wall and Ruby jumped and turned it red blur and traveled up the wall. The two landed on the top at the same time. In front of them, was Kraven, with two carved safari swords in each hand. Ruby could just see the look in his eye, Amazing was right, him being excited was now officially starting to creep her out.

"Yes, there is much for you to experience here," Kraven said. "Traps, Long range weapons. And of course, hand-to-hand combat." Suddenly from almost out of nowhere 6 people dressed similarly to Kraven also held curved safari swords jump out and landed beside him.

Ruby quickly whipped Crescent Rose and cocked it as Amazing stood in fighting position. "How cute. You put together your own boy band!" Amazing teased. Ruby snorted a laugh trying to hide a smile but was failing.

"My disciples," Kraven said firmly. "They have come to study at the foot of the master. To learn the art of the hunt - from the greatest hunter of all!"

Ruby frowned with an eyebrow raised.

"And the most modest," Amazing said sarcastically.

"You dare mock me in front of my students!?" Kraven challenged in a low tone.

"No...," Amazing started saying. "in front of your boy band and my intern."

"Partner!"

Kraven gritted his teeth. If he was excited before, he was mad now. "Men!" Kraven shouted as he turned to his men. "Remember what I have taught you. Strike hard. Strike fast..." he then slowly looked back slightly to Amazing and Ruby with a deadly look in his eyes ready… to kill. "and show no mercy!" He then dashed away from them.

"Yeah," Amazing said to Kraven's men still keeping his fighting position. "Let's see if you've got what it takes." Amazing glanced at Ruby. "How about we share?" he said slightly joking.

"3/3?"

"Ladies first."

Ruby smirked and spun Crescent Rose and it transformed into her scythe and she slammed the blade into the ground. Amazing looked shocked. One of them charged towards her, she quickly jumped, holding on her scythe's handle started to spin her body and kicked him in the stomach launching him another man and they fell to the ground.

"Okay," Amazing said still a bit shocked. He then looked toward his three. One of them charged at him, Amazing quickly moved and maneuvered from the blades, he swung. "Oh, don't worry," he said as ducked down. He then gave him an uppercut sending him back. "Here's something for ya!" he then jumped and gave him an upper kick launching the back.

"Get them!" one yelled. The men charged at them.

Ruby quickly pulled Crescent Rose and off the ground and placed the blade behind her firing a blast behind her and launched herself forward one of them. The man charged but in a red blur she was gone. She appeared behind him and hit his head with the handle and as he moved forward, she swept the scythe under his feet and slamming into the ground Another one charged, Ruby quick dashed away avoiding the blades. Ruby aimed at the ground and quickly fired. The man was launched into the air. Ruby slammed the scythe into the ground again. As he started to fall, she spun on her hilt again, but this time pulled it out of the ground and herself launched in the air with it and slammed him down with the brunt of the scythe as he landed roughly, Ruby landed gracefully.

Amazing dodged again one of the men's bladed but jumped and gave him two quickly sidekicks send him in another man. "Come on, I can't I hear one song," he joked. His spider-sense tingled, and he jumped over one of the men, charging him from behind. "Alright then," he then webbed the loose ground stones as the man charged. "Take this yo!" then with his strength pulled the wed almost like a bag but with stones and swung it across his face and as he tumbled gave him two quick pushes behind swept kicked him to the ground. "Sorry, you can take auditions again next time."

The two looked and saw they were all unconscious. Amazing walked to Ruby as she transformed back to Crescent Rose back to a carriable size. Amazing looked at her and then pointed to it. "That's a scythe?" he questioned.

"It's also gun," she said proudly.

"Yeah…," he said a bit awkwardly.

They looked down and see the unconscious bodies fade away until they were gone.

The two were silent as well as shocked.

"Madame Web?" Ruby asked, not even looking away.

"Yep."

"Okay."

"Yeah," Amazing said. "Let's go before more Kraven's boy band members decide to audition for us." Amazing started to run towards the edge and Ruby nodded and quickly followed and speed across the more platforms as Spidey webbed line to them.

After traveling across the ruins, a bit, Ruby and Amazing soon landed in a corner ruin room.

"Ah," Kraven spoke causing the two to look around. "It seems my men have not proved much of a challenge for you."

"Are you kidding me?" Amazing said. "Those guys were brutal. We barely survived!"

"Really?"

"No. We creamed 'em."

It was then silent. Amazing sighed with a bit of relief. "Okay, you've got a minute before Kraven sends more his followers." He said as he lifted the glove sleeve of his costume and took a small capsule from his side. Ruby saw the machine around his wrist as Peter loaded a capsule in.

Ruby's face quickly lit up. "Amazing!" she shouted. Amazing was startled and nearly dropped his web capsule. "I thought your webs were organic!"

"Oh," Amazing said as he loaded the capsule, put his glove back on and started on the started on his other hand. "No, that's actually gross now that I think about it. No, I created the webbing and the wed shooter myself."

Ruby soon zoomed over to Amazing and examined it. "This is so cool! It looks like it works by when you lower your fingers and hit that pad it can shot the fluid making it look like it actually comes from your wrist Wait, so how sensitive is it?"

"I tap twice."

"Oh," Ruby said intrigued. "And your webbing is so strong too. How did you make it? The web shooter and the webbing. Does it dissolve? If it does, how long does it to dissolve?"

"You a science person back home?" Amazing asked as he loaded his web capsule.

"No, I'm a bit of a dork when it comes to weapons.," Ruby admitted. "When did you decide to add web shooters to fight crime?"

Amazing looked down putting his glove back on. Suddenly Ruby felt a bit tense. "That wasn't the first reason for the web shooters." Ruby felt even tenser hearing his voice. It sounded… sad, actually it was more shameful. It was uncomfortable to see him that way. Amazing seemed to notice. "So, where'd you get your scythe and… gun."

Ruby smiled proudly. "I built my sweet baby at Signal Academy. You have to anyway, it's part of training."

Amazing raised his eyebrow, but Ruby couldn't see it. "Training?"

"Yeah," Ruby said with such excitement. "Ever since I was little and even when I found out my semblance. I wanted to be a Huntress to help people, fight the Grimm and I guess to make life better. So, I went to Signal Academy and then things happened, and the headmaster of Beacon noticed me and… let me go to Beacon. I was so cool! I mean it still is cool."

Amazing felt a smile on his face. To him Ruby was… innocent. Honestly, he wasn't sure that's the right word, but it was the closest one he could think of. She just always wanted to help people. When she found her power-semblance, she still wanted to do. Even though she knows what her world is like, he assumed, she still wants to. When got could his powers… well, helping people wasn't the first thing on his mind. It made him… glad to see someone like that so… optimistic, more than him.

Amazing then leaped onto a small platform, that led out of the corner room. He looked over to see them ahead. He looked to see a cliff that leads out of there, but he saw some of Kraven's men. He and Ruby could fight them, but more would probably be more on the other side. Unless…

Amazing still on the platform turned back to Ruby. "That Sniper rifle. How good are you with that thing?" What kind of ammo do you use?

"Really good and dust."

"Wait, dust-like off old books or some crushed stones."

Ruby looked confused. "What?" she then shook her head. "No, but it does come from a mine. Dust is what an ammo is called. All types fire, ice, wind lightning—"

"Okay, I again have questions but later, but" Ruby couldn't see it, but she could feel a smirk on his face. "I've gotta a plan."

Ruby aimed her sniper rifle at cliff edge as carefully as possible not to be seen. At the same time watched the Amazing Spiderman do his best to sneak close to the men up above. Ruby saw some commotion above. Kraven's men seemed to notice something. "Uh oh," Ruby muttered. If they looked over and saw Spidey, they would surprise him instead. "I REALLY hope this works." Ruby as she loaded into fire dust quickly aimed for the side and cliff side and fire a small shot. Kraven's men were quickly startled and started looking around. She smiled and then quickly and the first on the ground again. The explosion made some of them fall back. "Yes!" Ruby cheered as she quickly changed her clip to water and the fired as steam came surrounding them. She then gave a quick hug to Crescent Rose. "Thank you!"

On the ledge, Amazing quickly jumped on the ledge. "Thank you, dust." He soon saw one. "Don't worry. I'll thank you too." He quickly shot web over his eyes. He desperately tried to get it off. Amazing quickly grabbed his collar and punched him before he threw him into another man causing them to fall to the ground. "Thank you."

"For Kraven! For the thrill of the hunt!" A man shouted.

"Oh, okay, then." Amazing quickly webbed him and shot web line at him and pulled towards himself toward the man. He kicked him launching him into the wall and fell to the ground. "Well, I hope I gave you the thrill." She soon watched as they disappeared. He then looked to see Ruby zoom up in red petals. "Great shootin' little red."

Ruby smiled proudly. "I told you I was good." She pointed forward to ruin door "Let's go."

Two walked till Amazing felt his spider sense. "Ruby, step back!' Ruby quickly zipped back. Suddenly darts came out Amazing quickly maneuvered passed all the darts that came out. When they were gone, he stood in fighting position.

Ruby quickly ran to Amazing. "You okay?" she asked.

He sighed with relief as he stood. "I wasn't a spider dart board. So, I'm fine."

Ruby sighed with relief as well. "He wasn't kidding about traps."

Amazing chuckled and pointed to himself. "He's not as funny as I am."

Ruby smirked. "I think that's a good thing." Ruby started walking ahead.

"Geez," Amazing said but smirked as he followed.

The two walked up to a different path with more small platform pillars. In the distance, they saw Kraven with his men and heard him.

"Wait for them to come within range. When you have the shot... take it!" He then dashed off.

The two looked forward to see some men climbing up the pillars. "Uh oh," Ruby said as she readied Crescent Rose.

"I guess this begins the bullet-dodging of the festivities," Amazing said. One of the and pointed directly at the gun. "Uhh."

Suddenly the was a blast and man fell off the platform screaming before he disappeared. Amazing didn't bother to turn. "Thanks."

"No problem," Ruby said. "I can get the other guys."

"Nah, what fun would that be." Amazing quickly jumped on the platform ahead. He quickly shot a wed line on the next platform and quickly pulled himself across and kicked the man off. He screamed as he fell, and he disappeared. Ruby quickly followed using her semblance as Amazing repeated the same.

Soon Amazing quickly dove into a corner room with two-gun men. They fired but Amazing quickly avoided them. He then jumped over one of the men. "Here's web in your eyes!" he shouted. He then fired a web shot over the man's eyes. The man dropped his gun, trying to get the wed off his face. "Sorry but I have an intern waiting for me, so," He then grabbed him and threw him at the other man knocking of them both to the ground. Amazing jumped out the corner room and the pillars empty and empty high platform room that lead out of there. He then saw Ruby speed as she landed on the platform little far back but close. "There's a way out ahead. I'll race ya," he teased. Ruby smiled and used her semblance. Suddenly, he felt his head tingle. He looked back in to corner room to see one of the men hadn't disappeared and was on the ground. He held up his out gun, ready to fire. "Oh no you don't." Amazing shot wed at him the same time the man fired. The man was web to the ground and the bullet past Amazing toward a zooming Ruby. "LOOK OUT!" Amazing yelled in horror and warning.

The bullet fell past Ruby as the bullet grazed her shoulder. Ruby yelped in pain and grabbed her grazed shoulder. Unfocused, Ruby fell out her semblance and stared in the large pit and she screamed a little as she fell. "Hang on, Ruby!" Amazing quickly shot a wed line and swung our and quickly another wed line that wrapped around Ruby's waist and held it tight. Amazing let go of the wed line he was swinging on and shot another one and swung on that. Amazing groaned realizing what he had to do. "Ruby, this may hurt, and you can pay me back later for it." He swung the wed line holding Ruby and threw her into the room as gentle as he possibly could.

Ruby landed a bit roughly in the room and rolled a bit and groaned as she did. "Ow," she moaned as she slowly sat up.

Amazing swung into the room and landed to a bit further in the room and a bit diagonal to Ruby. "Ruby, you okay?" he asked worriedly.

Ruby slowly started to stand. "Ow," she repeated.

Amazing sighed with relief and started to jog towards Ruby.

Ruby soon heard a click and quickly turned to see holes open from the wall. Amazing stopped spider sense started to kick in. "Spidey!" Ruby yelled. She quickly turned into a red blurry with red rose petals flying. Before Amazing could respond, Ruby pushed Amazing out of the way as the darts started to fly. Both Amazing and Ruby landed roughly on the ground.

They soon stopped and Amazing looked to Ruby. Amazing grabbed her shoulders startling her a bit. "Ruby, you okay?" Ruby nodded a little uncomfortable hearing the worry in his voice. "Any darts? How bad did the bullet hit you?"

"It's just grazed me. My aura protected me."

"Another question for the ask later file," Amazing thought. He sighed relieved

Ruby gave a weak smile. "Aren't I supposed to be asking you that?"

Amazing quickly stood and head helped Ruby up. "I'm so sorry."

Ruby looked confused. "Why are you apologizing? You saved me. I should be saying thank you. Oh, thank you."

"I missed him and—"

"And you saved me. And I saved you. It's okay."

"Ruby—"

Ruby helped up her hands stopping him. "I'm only taking thank you. Cause we don't need to apologize."

"Ru—"

"Nope."

Amazing sighed but smiled thought Ruby couldn't see. "Thanks… intern."

Ruby smirked. "Thanks, web-head."

Amazing gave a quick pat on her back. "Let's go and that prize Kraven's holding on for us." He then ran out of the room.

Ruby was about to run but felt and shock of pain on her back leg. Ruby touched her back leg. She felt something, and she had a bad feeling what it was. She then pulled it out. She looked and saw it was a dart in her hand. Ruby quickly through it to the ground. This was not good. So far, she didn't feel strange. Should she— Ruby stopped that thought. If Amazing found out, they may never get to Kraven or get the fragment. For now, Ruby never got hit at all. Ruby quickly zoomed out of the room leaving rose petals.

2099 & Weiss: 1
Ultimate & Yang: 2
