Prologue: A New Menace

All is quiet in the Milky Way galaxy. No disturbance that would threaten the cosmos. All is that it should be, until a meteor storm flies through the galaxy. This common phenomenon flew far and fast until it circled around the planet Mobiant Earth acting as a shooting star. But as the meteor storm harmlessly passes by Earth, one of them actually breached the atmosphere and broke into five smaller shards. Each meteorite quietly crash-landed in different parts of the globe that got the attention of no one, for now.

Annapurna, Nepal (12:42 AM EST)

One of the meteor shards landed outside a village up in the mountains in the country of Nepal. Its mysterious presence settled in the snow idly, doing nothing but glowing an ominous black aura. The glow wasn't bright enough to gather any attention as there wasn't anyone around to notice it. All but one person. A mysterious shadowy figure wearing a snow coat to hide everything about themselves, hiding even their face in the shadows. This mystery person was around when they spotted the meteor shard hit the snow and went to investigate. Once their eyes gazed at the dark glow the shard emitted, they picked it up to closely observe it. The minute this person touched the shard, the dark power emitted from it quickly enveloped them in the form of a dark aura. This cause the mystery figure to quickly go mad with an absolute lust for power, corrupted, causing the eyes behind his shadowy face to brim a menacing red, leaving this to only do, laugh maniacally, "BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!"

Two Weeks Later…New Vale City, USA (United States of Amerius) on Sunday (2:10 PM EST)

BGM-Sonic Rush OST-The Ordinary Zone

"Smile!" Peter Parker takes a picture of his awesome reporter huntress girlfriend, Yang Xiao Long, who is wearing a casual brown leather jacket with a combed ponytail.

"Maybe I should drop-out from Beacon to become a model." Yang joked, smiling while Peter takes some pictures of her.

"Sure. You'd be perfect." Peter said.

"Would you two lovebirds stop flirting with each other? We're gonna be late for the Oscorp press conference, or do you want Jameson to yell at you two again?" Weiss interrupted the joking couple as they walk through town.

"He'll do that anyways." Peter replied.

"We're going, we're going, Ms. Future Osborn." Yang teased the heiress of her relationship with Oscorp's CEO, Harry Osborn, which annoyed her but at the same time made her blush as they moved on.

It's been about a month since the adventure on the Lost Hex. Peter Parker is spending the day hanging out with some of his friends like Yang and Weiss. Among with them are the other members of Team RWBY, Ruby Rose and Blake Belladonna, as well as their mobian friends such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Amy Rose. The gang are currently heading to the Oscorp building to attend a press conference being held by their friend, Harry Osborn, about the future of the company. Hundreds of reporters have already arrived in front of the Oscorp Tower where the press conference will be held. Harry is already standing in front of the microphone to get ready to begin the conference.

"It's starting! You two better do your jobs correctly!" Weiss ordered Peter and Yang, both who work for the Daily Bugle as photographer and reporter respectively.

"Yes, ma'am." Both jokesters replied dryly, with Peter taking the pictures and Yang writing down notes while everyone else watch as Harry's about to speak to the massive crowd.

BGM End

"Thank you all for coming," Harry began talking to the public, "You may know Oscorp, but you might not know me. I'm Harry Osborn. When my father was arrested for his criminal activities, it was my mission to free this business from his corruption and transform it into an institution for the better of mankind. It was my privilege to rebuild this great city after the recent crises followed by the Convergence several months ago, but that was just the start. Recently, Oscorp has acquired HEXAeco, an energy production company that provides clean energy, as one of its new subsidiaries. In the months following today, starting with New Vale, cities all around the world will be powered by clean energy for a safer, healthier environment. My mother wanted to make the world a cleaner place, and that is what I am doing. It's the beginning of a new era. And we're going to enjoy it. Together."

The crowd clapped like crazy for the cleanest and encouraging press conference Oscorp had in a long while, signifying the company has regained the full trust of the public after Norman Osborn tarnished it with his crimes as the Green Goblin and is more successful than ever.

Oscorp Mansion Penthouse (4:22 pm EST)

A few hours after the press conference, Harry returns to his mansion in the city, extremely tired after answering so many questions and other things when you're the big-time owner of a multinational company.

"I am beat." An exhausted Harry said, sighing.

"Mr. Osborn." Harry's personal butler, Bernard Houseman, walks up to his young boss with some news. "Your friends are here to see you."

"Let them in. Thanks, Bernard." Harry replied, having a respectful and kind relationship with his butler, considering him family after disowning Norman as his father.

Houseman nodded in acknowledgement and went to open the door. Seconds later, his best friend, Peter, Team RWBY, Sonic, Tails, and Amy are all allowed in to meet up with the man of the hour.

"Harry, congratulations. I'm so happy for you." Weiss walks up and hugs her boyfriend, who has become an inspiration to her the day she takes over the Schnee Dust Company.

"Thanks, Weiss." Harry replied, sharing a kiss between them.

"Smile, lovebirds." Peter takes a picture of the cute rich couple.

"Peter…" Weiss remarked embarrassedly.

Harry chuckles as he walks up to his best friend for a bro-fist, "It's okay. Hey, man. Good to see you. It's been a long day. Press conferences never get easier."

"Whaddya talking about, Harry? You were great. You managed to turn Oscorp around in such a short time. I'm proud of you." Peter smiled.

"Yeah. It's no longer controlled by a hideous goblin monster that wants to share the world his evil skin cream." Sonic joked, getting Harry to chuckle.

"How 'bout you guys relax. Bernard should be getting the snacks. One of you will be getting all the cookies you want." Harry said, that last bit in regards to Ruby who loves her cookies.

"Yes! Why can't Weiss be this nice?" Ruby joked.

"Hey!" Weiss retorted in offense.

BGM-Yu-Gi-Oh! GX OST-Everyday Life at the Academy

Everyone went into the living room to relax. Harry was sitting with Weiss. Peter was sitting with Yang. Sonic and Tails were sitting with Blake. And Ruby was sitting with Amy. Bernard got them plenty of snacks and drinks which people like Ruby and Amy were more than grateful for. Once everyone got settled in, it was time for some friendly conversation regarding a future event at Midtown High that only Seniors like Harry and Peter should be focusing pretty soon.

"So Pete, have you gotten ready for Senior Prom this weekend?" Harry asked his best friend.

"That's this weekend? I totally forgot." Peter responded.

Yang sighs, "What else is new?" as she's used to Peter forgetting big social events because of the double life he lives, which also includes their dates and whatnot.

"Where is it gonna be at?" Tails asked Harry where the biggest dance of the Senior year is gonna take place.

"At the OsBall Club from 7 to 11 at night." Harry replied, having gotten permission to host the dance at one of Oscorp's private venues.

"OsBall Club. Catchy." Sonic grinned.

"I was in charge of organizing the dance. The place is just perfect! Juniors and guests are also allowed to join!" Amy smiled, as she and Tails are also Juniors of Peter's high school.

"Oscorp will be funding the event, so expect this to be the dance of the lifetime. I heard MJ's already going. How 'bout you guys?" Harry asked the rest of the group.

"Sounds fun!" Ruby smiled, planning to attend the dance as a guest.

"Me too!" Tails remarked, also planning to attend the dance.

"How 'bout you, Sonic? Will you come to the dance with me?" Amy flirted with her self-proclaimed boyfriend.

"Nah, pass." Sonic casually denied her request.

"Oh, for the love of-WHY?!" Amy retorted in shock.

"Not interested. Got something else to do." Sonic replied, leaning on the comfy sofa.

"Like running around the world with nothing to do for the umpteenth time?" Amy responded, giving him a deadpan look.

"Pretty much." The blue hero answered casually as well.

"There'll be chili dogs." Harry told him to convince him to come to the dance.

"Tempting." Sonic casually responded, a bit more interested but not enough to really change his mind.

"Sonic. You're GOING to the dance, or did you think I've forgiven you after you forgot our date when you SUPPOSDEDLY traveled to some 'medieval world'?" Amy glared at him.

"You're still mad about that?" Sonic sweatdropped, a bit shocked Amy hasn't forgiven him for the time he, along with Team RWBY, was summoned to another world to stop King Arthur.

Sonic sighs as he feels like he has no choice and reluctantly accepts Amy's offer, "Fine, fine. I'll go with you to the dance."

In a pink blur, an extremely happy Amy hugs him, much to his dismay, "You promise? HURRARY!"

"What about you, Pete? Will you and Yang be going to the dance? Me and Weiss have already agreed to go." Harry asked his best friend if he'll attend the dance.

"I will." Peter responded.

"You promise?" Yang asked her boyfriend.

"Trust me, I'll make it." Peter replied.

"You said that for the last 12 dates you missed." Yang frowned, as there seems to be a bit of strain between their relationship lately, most obviously because of Peter's life as Spider-Man has once again put a bullet in his social life and his relationship with Yang.

"I know, I know. Just been VERY busy with you-know-what. Don't worry. I promise I'll make it this time." Peter assured her confidently.

"How do you plan that?" Yang asked, not convinced of whatever plan he has in store.

"I'll just call Kaine. I'm sure he won't mind filling my shoes for a day. After all, he IS me." Peter explained, giving her his idea to call Scarlet Spider, his clone, to fill in for him while he's attending Senior Prom.

"That's a shame." Blake spoke up.

"What?" Peter turned to his faunus cat friend.

"I was actually thinking of calling Kaine if we could attend your Prom. He IS you, so I'm sure we can attend, if that's okay with you." Blake explained she was planning to go out with Kaine for Midtown Senior Prom.

Peter sighs in defeat as now he has no plan he'll be able to attend prom with the girl he loves without any distractions, "Alright. Fine. Guess that plan is out of the window. Just have to be lucky nothing bad happens on Saturday."

"You remember your special type of luck, right?" Sonic quipped about the Parker Luck, the bane of Peter's existence.

"You shut up, Mr. I'm Too Cool for Prom!" Peter quipped back, which only served to displease Yang some more.

"Ruby, make sure to keep an eye on these two morons so they won't show up late." Yang suggested to her little sister to watch Sonic and Peter and make sure they arrive to Prom.

"Seconded." Amy agrees with Yang, not wanting Sonic to run out of this dance of a lifetime.

"You can count on me!" Ruby saluted.

"This is gonna end in disaster. I just know it." Sonic said with a deadpan look.

"God, I HOPE not." Peter responded, face-palming while praying to the gods to make sure nothing world-ending happens on Saturday that needs the likes of him or Sonic to prevent.

Annapurna, Nepal (10:47 pm EST)

BGM-Shadow the Hedgehog OST-Foolish Humans

"MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Inside a mysterious temple in Nepal, the Mysterious Figure from before laughs evilly after completing their research on the meteor shard he collected. After two weeks of tireless experiments, this person has created an abomination. It would seem the meteor shard contained the alien organism referred to as a symbiote. Simply put, symbiotes are among the most dangerous creatures in the universe. They have converted whole worlds across the cosmos into their image by bonding with their unfortunate victims to do their bidding. This person is fully aware the dangers a symbiote could bring to the world and wants to use that to their advantage. By combining salvaged Chitauri and Metarex technology from the recent alien invasion that happened months ago thanks to Thanos with the symbiote substance from the shard, this shadowy evil has created a new monster that resembles a symbiote, but one that they could control. Their first creation was a dark purple-schemed symbiote that has the face and monstrosity as another famous and deadly symbiote the people of the world knew as, Venom.

"It's finally done. This power…I'm going mad with it and it's so…liberating." The shadowy figure said, as the corrupted dark aura and glowing red eyes they gained from the shard envelops their body once again. "Soon, I'll have an army under my control to destroy ALL resistance and take over this wretched world. But I still need the other shards. With the power of these meteorites, no one will stop me! They will only watch, helplessly, as I BURN their world around them! Mwhahaha! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The mystery villain laughed maniacally with a plan to conquer the world with the meteor shards and destroy anyone that dares to get in their way.
