Vi Pov
This was a nightmare. Everything around me was chaos. I couldn't recognize the place I once called home. Everything I knew was being taken away. My companions and I tried to run, but that monster had caught up to us. We knew we needed to get away, and the destruction caused by Karito and those other supervillains had opened up a small opportunity for escape. But, in the end, it was futile. Just when we thought we were safe, a maniacal laugh would surround us. The first one to start losing his mind was Claggor; he would hold his head as if having an intense migraine. I tried to help, but he pushed me away.
(Claggor) "HAAAA!!!!" Falls to his knees "RUN! It's too late for me now! I can feel him invading my-! NHAAAAA!!!"
(Vi) "No! Claggor! Come on we need to-!
(Claggor) "JUST FUCKING GO! HAAAA!!" Starts to convulse on the floor
(Powder) "What the hell is going on?!" Tears stream down her cheeks
(Mylo) "G-Guys! W-We need to go! NOW!" Afraid
(Vi) "But Claggor is-!"
(Mylo) Grabs Vi's shoulders "Can't you see that we lost him?! His mind was invaded first and then we are gonna be next! We got to run!"
(Vi) "Fuck... FUCK!"
I didn't want to leave Claggor, but judging by the looks of it, as Mylo said, he was the first victim. With no other choice, we continued running. The fight between Karito and those monsters didn't fade away; it's as if they were moving with such speed that they were all across the battlefield. This... I don't even know what the hell this fight is. My mind can't even process what's going on, and I'm sure that's the case with the others as well.
After minutes of running, we stopped in a destroyed home. We saw too many casualties from this fight. So much violence and gore littered everywhere. I lost count of how many times I almost hurled, but because of the desperation to survive, none of us did.
We hid, our breathing heavy and our adrenaline on max output. We could still hear the fighting, even if we were a few miles away from it at this point. Just how exactly powerful are these people?
Crack!
(Mylo) "HAAA! NOOO! FUCK! FUCK!"
(Vi) "Mylo!"
(Powder) "HAAAAAAAA!" Panics
The wall where Mylo was turning his back to, a hand suddenly pierced it and his chest. At first, Mylo started to panic, but then he just shut down after realizing what just happened. In succession, the Red Goblin had gone through the wall, still holding Mylo in his hand. His demonic smile reached from ear to ear as he looked at us as nothing but prey.
I knew what this meant. I didn't want to admit it because it would be too much for me, and if Powder heard, she would probably end up worse because of how sensitive she is.
But... Vander.
Is dead.
(Dark Red Goblin) "I found you~"
(Vi) "Fuck off!" Throws a punch with her gauntlets
I used all the strength I could muster to land a decisive strike, something to at least hurt him or give us space. These gauntlets were... Blessed? By Karito, so that should mean something, right?
With that in mind, I went straight for his shin. My fist went closer and... wait... Why isn't he moving? Is he just gonna...
Clack!
It's as if my gauntlet clashed into a metal surface. Nothing happened. This monster just took it without flinching. His skin didn't even move. It was like wind to his face.
He raised a finger, and with a flick to my forehead, I was launched into the air and crashed through a closet. I was almost knocked out, but this dizziness, the screeching from my ears, the blurriness. This is definitely a concussion. I tried to stand, but my body just gave up. I could barely hear Powder's scream of horror. She ran towards me but was quickly grabbed by the neck by that goblin.
No... please. Not my sister.
PLEASE! NOT HER!
I BEG YOU, PLEASE! NO!
TAKE ME! NOT HER! PLEASE! SHE'S TOO YOUNG!
NO!
I saw his hand turn into a sword.
NO! NO! NO!
He was preparing to pierce it into her heart.
NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO! NO!NO! NO!
(Powder) "EAT THIS, DIPSHIT!" Her hand violently glitches and suddenly a grenade with an interesting design appeared in her hand and she shoves it inside the Goblins mouth
Wait... what is she doing?
An explosion caused by the grenade she shoved into his mouth pushed her and the Goblin apart. Powder crashed into a table, while the Red Goblin just remained stationary. She grunted, slowly stood up, and ran towards me, clear worry etched into her face.
(Powder) "Vi! A-re you o-kay?" Her voice shaky
(Vi) "Powder... what did you do?" Winces from the pain
(Powder) "I-I don't know, it was like... I had memories of someone else..."
(Vi) "What?"
(Dark Red Goblin) "Very interesting."
Both Powder and I froze in place and slowly turned our heads towards the monster. Smoke was coming from his mouth, but he was perfectly intact. How the hell does someone take an explosion like that from the inside and remain completely intact?
(Dark Red Goblin) "It looks like Kwaku is almost done with the fusion of the two universes."
(Vi) "What... The hell are you... Talking about?"
(Dark Red Goblin) "You two wouldn't understand, but I'll enlighten you. You see..." Pauses "The dimensions from both universes are colliding into each other. Space-time, narrative stacks, dark matter, dark energy—everything that makes a universe and its cosmology whole—is fusing into a new one. Because of that, characters from that other dimension, or their memories, start planting into the ones that exist here. The same effect is happening on the other side. So what you just did is almost fuse with an alternate version of you from that dimension... Jinx."
(Powder) Panicked "W-What? The hell is that supposed to mean?!"
(Dark Red Goblin) "And, as expected, you feeble minds remain ensnared in the labyrinth of ignorance. The intricacies of these themes transcend your paltry mortal comprehension. Now, we need to enrage a..." Pauses " Stain in the internet. It's about time the Guardian gets deleted. I don't want to involve a Swann's Proposal and others like them in this mess if necessary."
The Red Goblin conjured demonically crafted red pumpkin bombs and hurled them directly at us. Powder managed to flip a table to obstruct their path, but the ensuing explosion proved overpowering, propelling us forcefully through a dark alleyway.
We can't beat him. He stands as an unyielding force, his existence a literal cheat.
Karito... we need you.
Please...
Before it's too late.
No Pov
The clash between a God, the embodiment of wrath, and a Guardian unfolded in a cataclysmic display. Each collision sent shockwaves reverberating through the landscape, reshaping everything in their wake. The pace of the battle was so swift that it seemed to transcend realms, initiating in Piltover before the Spider executed a dropkick that propelled Hercules beyond the mountains, skipping above the ocean until his crash landing in the Nation of Iona.
Mangog retracted his fist, but the Spider, fueled by a 100-times enhanced limit, deftly spun and countered the impending blow. The ground beneath them morphed, birthing new terrains. Reacting swiftly, Spider-Man shot a webline at the monster's jaw, delivering a forceful knee to his face and sending him soaring into the air. In a rapid succession of movements, he employed lateral repulsion, ascending higher and higher until he breached the clouds. Crackling with energy akin to a thunderstorm, he raised his hand, absorbing lightning strikes that only served to empower him.
Encasing Mangog in a barrier, the hero merged it with a Mega Venom Blast, resulting in a thunderous explosion rivaling a Tsar Bomba. The light emitted from the blast blinded like a second sun in the sky. As the explosion dissipated, Spider-Man dissipated the barrier and remained afloat using his magnetism. True to his expectations, Mangog roared in a wrathful fury akin to the collective souls of billions.
With newfound speed, the hero found himself abruptly tackled, engaging in a relentless series of stabs with his stingers. However, it became evident that the monster remained impervious to pain. The clash traversed the lands of Noxus, Demacia, and Frejlord, leaving the hero coughing violently and his muscles on the brink of explosion. Yet, endurance was imperative.
(Dark Mangog) "Thanks for the boost. It was delicious." Smirks
(Spider-Man) "..." Looks to his left
(Dark Mangog) "DON'T GET DISTRACTED, GUARDIAN!"
Mangog surged with elevated energy levels, an effusion of electricity emanating from his formidable form. Undeterred by Spider-Man's previous attack, he had effectively absorbed the assault. Yet, this outcome had been anticipated by the cunning hero. As Mangog unfurled his massive maw, unleashing a formidable energy wave poised to engulf Spider-Man, the resourceful hero promptly conjured a portal directly in front of himself. The aperture, precisely tailored to accommodate the oncoming energy surge, materialized strategically.
Mangog, astute to the sudden development, halted his onslaught and regarded the hero with a discerning gaze, suspicion etched across his imposing countenance.
(Dark Mangog) His eyes narrow "The hell are you thinking now?"
(Spider-Man) "I sensed Hercules coming this way."
(Dark Mangog) "You didn't..."
(Spider-Man) "3....2... and 1."
A few miles distant, their vantage point afforded them a view of an electrifying explosion, its seismic repercussions reverberating across entire continents. In a matter of seconds, the formidable shockwave reached their location, yet they remained stoic and impervious. Seizing the opportunity, the hero swiftly materialized in front of Mangog, but the creature, displaying remarkable agility, promptly countered the hero's punch, ruthlessly slamming him against the unyielding floor.
A barrage of punches ensued, each blow driving the hero deeper into the ground, until, in an act of resilience, Spider-Man manipulated space itself, utilizing his hacking skills to teleport. Emerging above Mangog, the hero, employing his mastery of magnetism, suspended himself in mid-air, opting to disengage from his current adversary by depositing Mangog in a desolate locale.
Upon teleporting to Hercules' presumed location, the hero's heightened senses alerted him to an impending assault. While he managed to block the attack, the force shattered his forearm, and he was propelled into a substantial boulder. There, amidst the wreckage, he found Hercules, his gaze ablaze with unbridled fury, fixated on the fallen hero.
(Spider-Man) "Look's like my little gift hurt huh?" His arm instantly heals
(Dark Hercules) "You cowardly mortal! You used such tactics! HOW DARE YOU!!!"
With an instantaneous burst of strength, Hercules seized the hero by the neck and forcefully propelled him against the unyielding surface of the boulder. Unfazed, Spider-Man, driven by resilience, countered swiftly, thrusting his stinger into the God of Strength's abdomen. A guttural scream erupted from Hercules as, with mace aglow with dark energy, he retaliated by swinging the formidable weapon at the hero's countenance. The Spider, taken off guard by the unexpected surge in the villains' power, had already invoked his "Limit Breaker X100" to contend with their formidable might. However, this assault shattered his mask like fragmented armor, unleashing an unholy torrent of blood from the newfound wound. Though teetering on the brink of unconsciousness, the hero swiftly regained his composure, seizing Hercules' hands and endeavoring to push the god back, striving to reclaim a semblance of space in the tumultuous encounter.
(Dark Hercules) "YOU WAN'T TO HAVE A CONTEST OF STRENGHT WITH ME?! HERCULES?! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH! I'M A GOD! THE GOD OF STRENGHT! YOU ARE FIGHTING IN MY DOMAIN!"
(Spider-Man) "NGH! GET OFF ME!!!"
The relentless struggle persisted as both contenders vied for supremacy. It was an unexpected showdown of sheer might, prompting one to wonder why the arachnid hero would willingly engage in a strength competition with Hercules, of all adversaries. The answer, however, was remarkably straightforward: desperation. With time rapidly dwindling, a surge of urgency propelled the hero into this seemingly ill-matched contest. The impending threat of Mangog's imminent arrival hung heavily in the air, threatening to tip the scales decisively against the hero. Against opponents of such formidable caliber, the conventional tools of tactics, strategy, skill, and brute strength appeared futile.
As the duo continued to exert titanic force upon each other, a grim realization dawned upon the hero — a strategic breakthrough was imperative. The relentless pursuit of a solution raced against the ticking clock, for once Mangog arrived, the hero's chances of survival diminished drastically. The stoic Hercules bore a confident smile, in stark contrast to the arachnid hero's visage, now etched with a furious and bloodied determination.
Beneath their dueling forms, the ground itself succumbed to the intense clash, caving in as the two mighty forces collided. The very earth quaked beneath the strain of the battle, resonating with the dark energy emanating from the God and the crackling electricity swirling around the hero, reminiscent of a violent thunderstorm. Their throbbing arms mirrored the relentless pounding of uncountable jackhammers, each jarring collision echoing the intensity of their struggle.
(Toxin) "Karito! We are being pushed back! We can't keep this any longer!" Panicked
(Spider-Man) "He already had me pinned! I can't move unless I push him back!" Thoughts
(Toxin) "But this is Hercules! How are we suppose to do that?!"
(Spider-Man) "Use Limit Breaker times 200..."
(Toxin) "Are you insane?! Your body will explode!"
(Spider-Man) "Not if you focus solely on recovering me and not assist me in defense nor battle."
(Toxin) "This is crazy, Karito. There's just no way we will pull this off!"
(Spider-Man) "Just do it! Buy as many regenerative potions as you can! Whatever the fuck works so you can heal me the instant my muscles explode."
(Toxin) "FUCK! FUCK! FINE!" Grunts "It's not like we can teleport away, we would take him with us. And he's very resistant to your bio-electricty."
(Spider-Man) "Probably because of Thor."
(Toxin) "Okay, are you ready for this?"
(Spider-Man) "Fuck no."
(Toxin) "Didn't think so. Here goes nothing"
(Spider-Man & Toxin) "TIMES 200!!!"
Player: Karito Josue Valdez
Level: 95
EXP: 338,000/950,000
HP: 129,000/864,000
Prestige: Monarch
Hero: Spider-Man (Miles Morales)
STR: 879 x 200 = 175,800
END: 864 x 200 = 172,800
INT: 864 x 200 = 172,800
DEX: 905 x 200 = 181,000
VIT: 864 x 200 = 172,800
In this cataclysmic crucible, the hero's physical form underwent a transformation, a process oscillating between destruction and rapid reconstruction, transpiring within the span of milliseconds. This ordeal birthed not only an overwhelming surge of power but also subjected the hero's body to an unholy symphony of agony, an experience that defied the boundaries of mortal comprehension.
The unexpected metamorphosis caught Hercules off guard, leaving the God momentarily bewildered by the unprecedented escalation of power. The clash unfolded as an unprecedented contest, testing the invincible force of a deity against the enduring might of an extraordinary being.
As the struggle unfolded, Spider-Man and Hercules summoned forth the entirety of their Guardian and Dark powers. The magnitude of their forces defied calculation, eluding description, resisting any attempt at recordation, and transcending the bounds of human comprehension.
Amidst the titanic clash, a resounding "Crack!" echoed through the heavens, a sound that transcended the limits of language. This enigmatic noise marked the fracture, the shattering of the entire plateau beneath their monumental clash. Such was the magnitude of their conflict that the generated pressure threatened to displace the entire planet from its celestial orbit.
Yet, amid this cosmic turmoil, the struggle persisted. The arachnid hero, seemingly engaged in a cosmic juggling act, continued to push Hercules back while simultaneously harnessing the power of his magnetism to stabilize the very planet they fought upon. The 200-fold increase in power exhibited its efficacy, but the unspoken question lingered — how much longer could the hero sustain this Herculean effort before succumbing to utter exhaustion?
(Dark Mangog) "GUARDIAN!!!" He approaches dangerously
(Dark Hercules) "HAHA! WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT?! Your adaptation is incredible Guardian! But unfortunately, this will have to end! RIGHT! NO-!"
(Spider-Man) "One centimeter... that's all I need..."
In the pivotal moment when Hercules poised to amplify his force and deliver a devastating blow upon the arachnid hero, an imperceptible recoil transpired, creating a hairline breach in their titanic struggle. This minute divergence, seemingly inconsequential, became the fulcrum upon which the hero's tactical brilliance pivoted.
Exploiting this fractional opening, the hero swiftly enacted a sequence of movements. In an instant, he materialized behind Hercules, deploying two intricately woven webs that momentarily ensnared both the God of Strength and the relentless Mangog. An acute awareness pervaded the hero's mind—he recognized the ephemeral nature of these bindings, understanding they offered only a brief respite.
In a daring maneuver, he executed a teleportation, translocating the trio to the desolate expanse of Runeterra's moon. This swift relocation granted him a momentary advantage, an opportunity seized with tactical acumen. Harnessing the very energies generated in their cosmic clash, the hero absorbed the residual power, a feat facilitated by the advanced upgrades to his suit. The symbiotic fusion of his abilities allowed him to redirect the amassed energy back to its originators.
Now, consider the magnitude of the energies forged in this celestial clash. It wasn't just a struggle of physical might but an accumulation of forces that, if quantified, rivaled the potential to dislodge Earth from its orbital trajectory. The very density of their struggle created an astronomical confluence, a cataclysmic ballet choreographed in the celestial theater of Runeterra's moon.
(Spider-Man) "Dimensional Mega Venom Punch!" His fist glitch violently
(Dark Mangog & Hercules) "!!!!!"
(Spider-Man) "I'M TAKING AWAY YOUR ABILITY TO TRAVEL DIMENSION TEMPORAIRLY! BUT YOU WON'T HAVE A FUN TIME IN A UNSTABLE REALITY WHERE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS ARE UTTERLY FUCKED!"
With the precision of a cosmic maestro, Spider-Man's punch seamlessly intersected with the forms of both Mangog and Hercules. The concussive impact sent their collective mass hurtling towards the lunar surface, a momentous collision that reverberated through the celestial expanse. In a symphony of destruction, the moon, once an immutable celestial entity, succumbed to the overwhelming force encapsulated within that singular punch. The lunar body fractured and fragmented, dissipating into an ethereal cascade.
Vi Pov
I'm convinced that what's happening right now is hell. There's no other word to describe it. I feel so small, so insignificant around these... beings. I can't fight back because it's like nature itself is forbidding me to damage this Goblin—the same one that killed my little sister right in front of me.
I don't know what I was thinking; that we had a slim chance to win? But we weren't meant to win, now were we? No matter how much I try, no matter how much I do, it's all insignificant. My rage, my wrath, is just something for this monster to laugh at. My hope is devoured. I don't want to live in a world where everything is destroyed, where everyone I loved is dead. Karito is nowhere near me. Even with his help, we still failed.
KA-BOOM!
Ahh... There goes the moon. Did I ever really know Karito?
This is his fault, right? These villains are here because of him, right? Everything is destroyed because of him and these monsters, right? Just how much are they going to take? Destroy? Kill? Just for it all to end?
But will it ever end?
It doesn't seem so. This torment is eternal.
I don't know anymore.
My last light has faded.
My eyes are now dead, my mind, my soul...
I don't know...
I...
...
All of them... are monsters...
(Dark Red Goblin) "Jeez, breaking a character is always too easy. Now, I still need you alive, so don't die on me now."
(Vi) "...Why?" Dead inside
(Dark Red Goblin) "To distract the Guardian. We are almost done here anyways."
(Vi) "Why would he care about me? Just kill me..."
(Dark Red Goblin) "Fist, no. Second, because it's his job, duh."
What?
(Dark Red Goblin) Grin "Yeah, his duty revolves around safeguarding the most crucial individuals within the intricate tapestry of this narrative's future. Vi, your prospects were radiant, poised for remarkable accomplishments. However, your aspirations hold no significance to us. Dreams, after all, pale in comparison to the grander purpose the Darks serve."
(Vi) "You...took EVERYONES FUTURE! BECAUSE YOU CAN?!"
(Dark Red Goblin) "Hush, Vi. In the grand scheme, you were a mere dossier, a compilation requiring safeguarding. Merely a facet of the Guardian's responsibility. You were, at the core, nothing more than a vocational duty~."
So... all that time we spent together... Was it all a front?
(Dark Red Goblin) "Yes, it was.~"
What? No... What is he doing?! H-He's getting in my head! Karito cared! I saw it!
(Dark Red Goblin) "He has done this many times before, Vi. He's the best actor I've ever seen~."
(Vi) "...Is that why he's being so destructive? Because he doesn't care?"
What am I saying?
(Dark Red Goblin) "He was so focused on the other two he didn't made any effort trying to save you and your family. Why would he? He can just let this one die and fix the damages later. Just like how he did with another dimension."
(Vi) "No..."
(Dark Red Goblin) "You where just part of his job, Vi. Nothing else."
I don't understand.
HOW DARE YOU!
What is he?
A MONSTER!
Why is he?
IF HE DIDN'T EXIST THIS WOULDN'T HAPPENED!
I HATE IT! I HATE IT! I HATE ALL OF THEM!
(Dark Red Goblin) "Yes~, that's it. Lose your mind~."
This world can burn...
...
...

Karito Pov
I don't know how long I've been screaming in the vacuum of space. The pain I felt after utilizing a 200 times increase has quite literally broken my body. The muscles in my body tore apart repeatedly; I saw the inside of my flesh burst and heal instantaneously. There were even times I could see the bones from my body. I was on the verge of passing out, but the incalculable pain prevented me from falling unconscious. However, I can't stay here. I need to at least save Vi and completely reset this timeline. I just need to go through the reality cracks that the Darks created and initiate a "Factory Reset." But will I be able to make it in time? And with this pain and exhaustion, I don't think I'll be any good. But I can't stop. It's only a matter of time before Mangog and Hercules recover from my skill cancellation.
(Toxin) "Karito, the only way you'll be able to move is if I take control of your body. Your levels of exhaustion are past 100%. Heck, you shouldn't be awake right now but dead from exhaustion. How you're even conscious after all that is a mystery to me."
(Spider-Man) "Then... Do it. We don't... have a... choice."
(Toxin) "Just letting you know, even breathing for you is gonna be painful."
(Spider-Man) "Even blinking puts me through hell right now... But screw it. Just do it."
(Toxin) "Alright. Try to resist."
And as he said, he took control of my body, and the instant I moved, it was like my bones and muscles just shattered. I held back the urge to scream, and it quickly healed itself. Without wasting any time, Toxin used lateral repulsion to rocket towards Runeterra.
No Pov
The arachnid hero descended into Runeterra's atmosphere with remarkable velocity, resembling a celestial body hurtling towards Piltover. Employing his mastery over magnetism, he adeptly decelerated his descent as he neared the ground. Upon reaching Vi's presumed location, he navigated the space with unparalleled speed, arriving at her last known whereabouts in the span of a mere second. However, instead of finding a soul nearby, he encountered only the abandoned gauntlets he had entrusted to her, accompanied by a foreboding red pumpkin bomb positioned ominously beside them.
(Spider-Man) "Vi's gauntlets... The ones I gave her not so long ago. And a Goblin's Lantern. He knows I'm weak, and fighting the mix of Cranage and Goblin is going to be extremely troublesome. And he has Vi. Shit."
(Toxin) "We better find him quickly. We need her to fully reset the timeline. If no data of the timeline exists, recreating it will be too difficult."
(Spider-Man) "Copy-pasting the program is a lot easier than making it from scratch. Use the Spider-Sense to detect them. We have to hurry."
(Toxin) "I already was." Moves Spider-Man's body.
Employing the heightened sensitivity of his Spider-Sense, Spider-Man adeptly pinpointed the location of the Red Goblin. The villain perched triumphantly at the summit of the bridge that linked the undercity to Piltover.
(Dark Red Goblin) "Spider-Man! I'm glad to see that you've made it. I have your girl up here, my friend. I trust you understand what that means?"
(Spider-Man) "...Tch... What?"
(Dark Red Goblin) "It's quite simple, web-spinner. Your presence in the very fabric of fiction is a constant source of agony to us Darks. I wish you to leave it... permanently. Or else... Vi dies!"
(Spider-Man) "You already know my answer to that."
(Dark Red Goblin) "You're exhausted, bloodied, broken, barely awake, and you want to challenge me? I don't know if that's brave or just incredibly stupid. You think I don't know that you need her existence to recreate this world again. You need something that already exists so you can recreate it. Like a copy and paste. But if I kill her, you will have to do everything from scratch, which will take you an unholy amount of patience and time. It's like what you did in the Lycoris Recoil anime when you visited. Because the dimension of Web Of Shadows was stacking above the anime, all you needed to do was "rip it out" like a piece of paper. So choose wisely again, Spider, die, or she dies."
(Spider-Man) "Fuck you."
(Dark Red Goblin) "So be it."
The Goblin poised for a decisive strike against Vi, but the hero swiftly conjured a portal, seizing the villain's hand, and propelled him through it. A point-blank venom blast was unleashed directly at the Goblin's stomach, causing him to traverse the entire length of the bridge before colliding with one of the nearby buildings. Seizing the opportunity, Spider-Man hurried towards Vi, intending to secure her safety within a makeshift pocket dimension and harness her existence to restore the original timeline. However, just as he swung towards her, an imminent sense of danger tingled in his senses.
(Spider-Man) "What the...?" Spider-Sense "Did he recovered that fast?"
(Symbiote Vi) "Because of you..."
Her physique underwent a transformation, manifesting a hue of violet as her musculature swelled. The distinctive countenance of the symbiote adorned her face. The Goblin had successfully infected her prior to their confrontation, plunging the hero into a profound state of internal conflict.
(Symbiote Vi) "Because of you my life was robbed!"
She throws a fist so quick that the hero failed to register. He cursed himself mentally, that 200 increase in power he did before had damaged him more than he thought, and he's about to pay the price with a cross punch directly at his face.
CRACK! SPLAT!
The hero collided with the bridge, plummeting into the murky waters below. A sensation of his entire facial structure fracturing overwhelmed him, yet the timely intervention of Toxin and his accelerated healing factor swiftly mended the damage. Emerging from the water's surface, he employed one of his abilities to stand atop the water. Casting his gaze upon the cavity he had created, he witnessed Vi's enraged screams as she propelled herself towards him. This time, he was prepared. As she drew near, he executed a precision spinning back kick, sending her crashing into a nearby warehouse. Wasting no time, he pressed on in pursuit, his muscles throbbing in persistent agony. Upon reaching the scene, he called out to her.
(Spider-Man) "Vi! I need you to come to your senses! We can still win!"
(Symbiote Vi) "NO! You're just like them! You didn't care! Just reset the timeline already!"
(Spider-Man) "But I need you! I can't do this without you."
(Symbiote Vi) "Shut up! Why didn't you protect us when we called you!"
Vi lunged toward Spider-Man with rapid determination, yet the hero's swift reflexes allowed him to grasp her hand adeptly. Assisted by Toxin, he promptly initiated measures to incapacitate her.
(Symbiote Vi) "I know you could hear us! You always did! No matter how far you where, you somehow, someway, always came to the rescue. But why didn't you save us this time!"
(Spider-Man) "We don't have time for this, Vi! I need to fix things!"
(Symbiote Vi) "It's always about you, damn it! You always make it sound like you care, those pep talks, those times we spent together. Did you just spew out words so you could stuck to us?! Did those words held any value?! Are you just a hypocrite?!"
(Spider-Man) "What difference would it make?! Stop being so damn annoying!"
...
(Spider-Man) "Mylo and Claggor where suppose to die. That was their fate."
(Symbiote Vi) "...What?"
(Spider-Man) "The only ones I only gave a SHIT about was you and Powder but because you WASTED my time in this pointless TEAR jerking drama, Powder is dead too!"
(Symbiote Vi) "You're blaming me for that?! YOU MOTHER FUCKER!"
(Spider-Man) "FUCK! JUST SHUT UP AND LET ME FIX THIS DAMN DIMENSION! You can't possibly understand what I've been through! What I've had to do! So shut up and I'll put you exactly where your suppose to be in your DAMN LIFE!"
Spider-Man's gaze discerned a poignant detail — Vi's symbiote was fracturing, revealing her tear-streaked face. A wave of realization swept over him, recognizing the consequences of his harsh words. Once again, his emotions had seized control, dictating his actions. The outcome? The shattering of Vi. A profound sense of regret enveloped the hero, his heart sinking in the face of the damage he had wrought. An unsettling nausea threatened to surface, yet he suppressed it. The familiar pattern from his youth repeated itself — when overwhelmed, regrets followed. Despite years of experience, Spider-Man found himself humbled by the relentless power of unchecked emotions. Vi's final words, spoken through shattered composure, echoed in his ears, further fragmenting his already burdened heart.
(Vi) "If you didn't exist. None of this would have happened..."
She descended gracefully to the ground, the malevolent symbiote, once forcefully implanted by the Goblin, dissipating into nothingness. However, in its absence, a profound revelation unfolded. The revelation of an existing wound concealed beneath the symbiotic veneer—a gap in her stomach that bespoke untold history. The hero stood in a silent tableau, a spectator to the consequences of his hurtful words. He never anticipated sinking so low once again, a realization that weighed heavily on his conscience. The recognition that he had allowed his emotions to dictate his actions, employing fights as a cathartic release for his pent-up anger, resorting to manipulative tactics, and ultimately letting words marred by emotion dismantle the fragile connections around him.
(Spider-Man) "I...I can fix this..."
(Toxin) "Karito, can't you understand what you just did?"
(Spider-Man) "This is only a-a set back, I can fix this!"
(Toxin) "Did you not listen to yourself?!"
(Spider-Man) "SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
(Toxin) "Tch! I will this once because we have things to do! But after this is done, we are talking!"
(Spider-Man) "..."
(Dark Red Goblin) "Holy shit, I thought I was evil. But you would make a PERFECT Dark."
(Spider-Man) "Shut up..."
(Dark Red Goblin) "Doesn't that activate some memories? How you would blame your autism for your outburst? It did, right? HAHAHA! You always thought of it at such!"
(Spider-Man) "No...It's NOT!"
(Dark Red Goblin) "Hehe... Does Retard ring any bells?"
(Spider-Man) "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!"
At unparalleled speeds, Spider-Man seized the Goblin's neck, unleashing a potent Venom blast that propelled the villain forcefully into a nearby wall. A palpable gasp escaped the antagonist, but any respite was short-lived as the hero launched into a relentless assault, propelling them both through the structure. The Goblin rebounded off the floor, only to be met with a punishing spinning back kick that sent him hurtling into a sturdy pillar. The hero pursued with a relentless intensity, initiating an unceasing barrage of punches and kicks, each blow registering with the seismic force of an earthquake. Employing his magnetism, he exerted control over the fractured pillar, preventing its complete collapse. Despite the mounting toll on his own body, driven by an infernal surge of emotions, Spider-Man pressed on with an unyielding fury, each subsequent strike heavier than the last.
(Spider-Man) "You piece of shit! Who do you think you are?!"
CRACK!
(Spider-Man) "I've HAD it! I'm doing my best! I'M FUCKING TRYING!!!"
SPLASH!
(Spider-Man) "But I won't let you disrespect something I was born with and had no control of!"
THUMP!
(Spider-Man) "I CAN'T give up! I can't! Because if I do, what will all my hard work value too?!"
SPLAT!
(Spider-Man) "I WON'T BE CALLED A DISAPOINTMENT!"
CRACK!
(Spider-Man) "I'M SICK OF BEING LEFT BEHIND BECAUSE I'M SLOW!"
BOOM!
(Spider-Man) "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?!"
THUMP!
(Spider-Man) "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE?! WHAT IT MEANS?!"
CRACK!
(Spider-Man) "YOU FILTY- FUCKING- BASTARD!"
Spider-Man finally quelled his tempest of fury, his gaze fixing upon the macabre tableau that the Goblin had become. His vision blurred, teetering on the edge of collapse under the weight of exhaustion. Nonetheless, he gritted his teeth, defiantly standing his ground. With each laborious step, he moved forward, conjuring a portal near the rift in reality. Time dwindled, a mere ten seconds remaining. By some miraculous feat, he managed to reach his destination. Just as he prepared to forcefully extract the First Spider-Man from the tear and rectify the timeline, his heightened senses alerted him to an impending assault. Exhaustion held him captive, and he made no attempt to evade as an entire arm thrust through his abdomen, eliciting a tortured scream. When he turned to face his assailant, horror painted his features—Goblin, having regenerated, stared back with a twisted revelation dawning across his malevolent countenance.
(Dark Red Goblin) "You should've finished me off. But if you did, you wouldn't have any time."
5...
(Spider-Man) "HAAAA! NGH! NO!"
4...
(Spider-Man) "FUCK OFF!!!" Tries to use his stinger but is too exhausted to do so
3...
(Spider-Man) "NGHH!!!" Tries to move forwards while Goblin pulls him back
(Dark Red Goblin) "HAHAHA! You really are insane! Moving while my hand is still in your abdomen!"
And during that small dialogue, 1 second remained...
0...
And with a cosmic symphony, a resounding explosion echoed—a metaphysical crescendo heralding the genesis of a conjoined universe.
(????) Gasps and coughs "....Ugh... Where in the four seas am I now?"
