//------------------------------// // A Sinister Batch Of Rogues (Part 1) // Story: Tomorrow War // by Battwell //------------------------------// As Peter and the others caught up to Sonic and Twilight, said Wall Crawler was just ending his conversation with the Wachowski's. "And that's pretty much it." Peter finished recapping recent events. Sonic Wachowski was in complete awe, as were Tom and Maddie. They thought that they had been through a lot with Robotnik, but what this other version of Sonic and his friends had been through, it just makes their adventures seem miniscule in comparison. "That all sound awesome and terrifying at the same time." Sonic Wachowski stated with shock written all over his face. Tom nodded in agreement, "You can say that again." Sonic Wachowski turned to his counterpart, "I mean, you're Eggman sounds absolutely insane. Granted, mine is too, but yours sounds like he's on a whole other level." Sonic chuckled as he placed his hand on his hip, "Believe me, he's WAY worse than he sounds." Twilight and Peter nodded in agreement as they had their own experiences with the mad doctor. Starlight looked at Twilight, "From what little experience I had facing him, he felt like he was one of the worst villains we've ever faced. You've had more experience with him, Twilight, am I wrong?" Twilight shook her head, "No, he's definitely up there with the worst of the worst. But it's not like we could hold him anywhere. He would most likely escape Tartarus with ease, and he probably already has a contingency plan if he got sealed in stone." Sonic smirked at Twilight, "Glad to see that you've accepted that Eggman just doesn't quit, Twi." "It seems that no matter what, even if we reverse this Convergence, Robotnik will always be a threat to Equestria." Tempest then walked past the group, "Alright, we've wasted enough time." Spidey nodded, "Tempest is right, we're almost done out here. Just a couple of inmates left before we can get inside and get that Stone back." Then all of a sudden, a yellow lightning bolt struck the ground where they were all standing. The blast sent them all back a few meters before they all fell to the ground in pain. Peter's Spider-Sense went nuts, alerting him of another incoming attack. Peter quickly got to his feet and looked up to the sky to see his attacker. Electro laughed, "Welcome to the party, Web Head!" "Oh, hey Electro. It's rude to interrupt someone else's conversation, you know." Spider-Man replied to the electrified villain. "Do I look like the type of guy to care about being rude?" Electro deadpanned. Peter tilted his head as he replied, "Now that you mention it, your face looks like a melted cheese pizza, so probably not." Electro gritted his teeth before he noticed Twilight and Sonic. Electro turned to the pair and said, "Well, well, well. If it ain't the other two twerps that locked me in here! Thanks for being here, saves me the trouble of looking for you." Sonic smirked at the villain, "Say, sparkles. What happened to you being a being of pure energy?" Electro glared at Twilight as he responded, "You can thank HER for that!" Twilight glared back at the villain, "And I would've done it again, if I had to. It's over, Electro, there's eight of us and only one of you. You're alone while we are united, you can't win." Electro simply chuckled in response, "Who said I'm alone?" Then out of nowhere, a second lightning bolt struck Tempest in the chest and knocked her down. The only difference with this lightning bolt was its color. It was blue. A figure then materialized right next to Electro with blue electricity crackling around the area he appeared in. A second Electro. Electro gestured towards his counterpart, "Web Head meet Electro," He then gestured towards Peter, "Electro meet Web Head." Peter backed up along with the others and said, "A second Electro? Seriously?" Webb-Verse Electro smirked, "Well look who it is, another Spider-Man." Electro grinned, "Bet you never saw this comin'!" Peter shook his head as he responded, "Gotta be honest, I REALLY didn't expect this." Webb-Verse Electro then took notice of Twilight and the others and arched an eyebrow, "Are...are those--" Electro sighed and nodded, "Ya get used to it." "Havin' a REALLY hard time believing that, man." "Just trust me on this. Either way, it doesn't matter, they'll be dead in a few minutes." "That's true." Both Electro's hands sparked up as a mixture of yellow and blue electricity crackled in the sky behind them. They stared down at their foes with anticipation as the heroes readied themselves. Sonic Wachowski quickly zipped Tom and Maddie to safety before running back and standing next to his counterpart, "So, other me? What are the odds of us actually beating these guys?" Sonic shook his head, "Not very high." (End song) Both Electro's fired a blast of electricity at their enemies, Peter quickly shot a line of web at Electro's chest and Web Zipped up to him. Peter delivered a punch to the villain's jawline, which sent Electro back a few meters. Webb-Verse Electro turned and tried to zap Peter, but Sonic Wachowski charged up and hit the villain with a Spin Dash, which actually managed to hurt him. As Electro chased after Peter, Tempest and Starlight decided to follow so they could give Peter some back up while Twilight and both Sonic's stayed behind to deal with Webb-Verse Electro. Webb-Verse Electro gritted his teeth, "Come on!" He fired an electric blast at the trio of heroes. Twilight took to the air while the two Sonic's dashed away in opposite directions to avoid the blast. Twilight, now flying in the air, used a shield spell to incase Webb-Verse Electro to prevent anymore movement. Webb-Verse Electro wasn't deterred however, as he released a massive burst of electricity that shattered the shield and sent Twilight flying back. Webb-Verse Electro then saw Sonic running towards him at high speeds. He wasted no time and fired a stream of electricity at the hero. Sonic moved to the left to avoid the attack, only to be seized by the throat as Webb-Verse Electro appeared in front of him. Webb-Verse Electro then tightened his grip around the Hedgehog's neck, zapping him with electricity which caused the Hedgehog to scream out in pain. Unbeknownst to Webb-Verse Electro, a large golden Ring opened behind him and an electric blue Hedgehog ran through and hit the villain in the back with another Spin Dash, causing Webb-Verse Electro to let go of his grip on Sonic's neck. As Webb-Verse Electro turned around, he was struck in the chest by a blast of magic, curtesy of Twilight Sparkle. The blast sent the villain rolling across the floor until he teleported to the sky and fired a blast of electricity at Twilight. She tried to block the attack with her magic shield, but the shield was starting to crack under the amount of pressure it was being put under. Before Webb-Verse Electro could break through however, another Ring appeared above him. Sonic tried to get the jump on him, but Webb-Verse Electro wouldn't let it happen twice as he stopped focusing on Twilight and teleported away, which confused Sonic. As the Hedgehog was falling, Webb-Verse Electro appeared beside him and blasted him in the chest, sending the Blue Blur hurdling across the sky and landing in a pile of rubble. Webb-Verse Electro quickly teleported away as Sonic Wachowski tried Spin Dashing him from behind again. As Sonic Wachowski landed on the ground, Webb-Verse Electro appeared behind him and started draining the electricity out of his body, causing the young hero to scream out in pain. "SONIC!!!" Webb-Verse Electro turned to see Tom sprinting towards him. Webb-Verse Electro scoffed and simply blasted the Cop in the chest, sending him flying through the air and landing on the ground on his back. "T-TOM!!!" Sonic Wachowski shouted between screams, clearly worried for his adoptive father's well-being. Suddenly, Webb-Verse Electro was struck in the side of the head by a large piece of rubble, causing him to let go of Sonic Wachowski. The young hero fell to his knees before falling to the ground and drifting into unconsciousness. Webb-Verse Electro turned and saw Twilight levitating two more large pieces of rubble with her magic. She threw them at the villain with all her might, but the electrified villain released a burst of electricity which destroyed the two pieces of rubble and zapped Twilight in the process, causing her to cry out in pain. She fell to the ground, panting heavily. She looked up and saw Webb-Verse Electro walking right towards her. "HOLD STILL, YA WALL CRAWLIN' ASSHOLE!" Electro shouted as he tried hitting Peter with an electric blast, but the blast merely destroyed the wall Peter was stuck to after he jumped away. Peter, while leaping in midair, hurled a Web Bomb at his enemy. The Web Bomb detonated and trapped Electro in webbing. Tempest, who was on the roof next to where Electro was hovering, fired a blast from her broken horn to try and stop the villain. But Electro broke free of his bonds and caught the magical lightning in his hand. He smirked at Tempest before throwing it right back at her. Tempest quickly leaped off of the building as the edge of the roof exploded with magical electricity. Tempest stuck the landing and tried attacking again, but Electro zipped down towards her and blasted her in the face with a lightning blast. Peter tried sticking a line of web to Electro's back, but Electro shot up into the air and turned around to face the hero. Electro fired two lightning bolts from his hands and just before they could strike Peter, he quickly Web Zipped to the side of the building behind Electro. Electro snarled as he fired another blast, but Spider-Man kept dodging the attacks with his agility. Peter shot some webbing into Electro's eyes, blinding him for a moment. Peter Web Zipped over to Electro and gave him a series of punches and kicks before he kicked him away with his two feet. Electro tore off the webbing blinding him and quickly zapped Peter into the side of the building behind him with an electric blast. "YEAH! EAT THAT!!!" Electro shouted as Peter fell to the ground below. "How about YOU eat THIS!" Electro turned to see Starlight floating in a magical orb beside him before being struck in the chest by a blast of magic. Electro recovered in midair before flying over towards Starlight and firing another electric blast from his hand. Starlight saw this coming and flew away from the blast with her magical orb. She then fired a blast from her horn, which still hadn't recovered from her fight with Sephiroth, but she pushed through the pain. She had to. Electro swayed to the left to avoid the blast before firing a blast of his own. Starlight couldn't avoid this one, so she was sent flying towards the ground by Electro's electric blast. Her magical orb shattered on impact as she tumbled to a stop on the ground. "Hah! This is too easy!" Electro boasted. Suddenly, he was kicked in the face by our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, "You sure about that?!" Peter then Web Zipped over to him and punched him in the face before webbing him again and swinging the villain down to the ground. Before Peter even managed to land on the ground, Electro flew upwards and delivered a mighty uppercut to Spider-Man's chin. Electro then grabbed his shoulders and shot downwards, slamming Peter into the ground. Peter groaned in pain as Electro stood over him with a smile on his face. The villain turned around to see his counterpart landing behind him. Electro noticed the unconscious forms of both Sonic's, Tom, who was being tended to by his wife, and Twilight Sparkle. Electro gave his counterpart a smile, "Seems like you had a good time." Webb-Verse Electro smirked, "You could say that." The two Electro's then floated into the air, hovering over the fallen heroes. Peter struggled, but managed to get back onto his feet to face the two Electro's. Electro laughed, "This guy just doesn't know when to quit!" "Let's burn him from the inside out!" Webb-Verse Electro suggested. "Great idea, my friend!" Electro agreed as his eyes crackled with yellow electricity. The two Electro's aimed their hands at the Wall Crawler, ready to finish him off. Peter stood his ground as he entered a crouched position, ready to pounce. "SAY GOODBYE!!!" Electro shouted as he readied to end this. (End song) But suddenly, a line of web stuck to Electro's vest, and it wasn't from Peter. "W-WHAT THE--" Electro was then cut off by being socked in the jaw by someone. The figure bounced off of Electro's chest and Web Zipped over to Webb-Verse Electro and kicked him down to the floor with his feet. Before anyone could question it, the figure landed in front of Peter. The figure was wearing a red and blue suit with webbing on it. Just like he was. It was another Spider-Man. Peter's eyes were wide open, as were his lenses, "What.....the...." Both Electro's recovered and shot back up into the sky. They're eyes widened at the sight of another Spider-Man, Webb-Verse Spider-Man to be specific. "TH-THERE'S TWO?! NOBODY SAID THERE WERE TWO!!! HOW ARE THERE TWO?!!" Electro shouted in anger. Webb-Verse Peter simply turned around to see who he saved, but his eyes widened when he saw Spider-Man, panting heavily on the ground. "Uhhhhh...." Both Peter's said in unison before having to leap away to avoid being hit by two lightning bolts. They landed next to one another and turned their heads to each other. "Introductions later?" Webb-Verse Peter suggested. Peter nodded, "You read my mind." The two Spider-Men turned their heads to face the two Electro's that hovered before them, yellow and blue electricity crackling behind them both. (End song) Both Electro's fired two lightning bolts from their hands. The two Spider-Men Web Zipped in opposite directions and stuck to the side of a broken structure nearby. "Okay, I'll deal with Electro," Peter started as he pointed to his Electro, "And you'll go for....Electro?" Peter finished in a somewhat confused tone as he pointed to Webb-Verse Electro. Webb-Verse Peter nodded, "Got it." Peter was honestly really giddy, his inner nerd was having a freak out, but that'll have to wait as they had to deal with the two Electro's. Peter Web Zipped to Electro and socked him in the jaw while Webb-Verse Peter leaped off of the broken structure and taunted Webb-Verse Electro. "HEY, MAX!" He shouted, gaining Webb-Verse Electro's attention, "I MISSED YA, MAN!" Webb-Verse Electro growled in anger as he fired a blast of electricity from his hand and tried to zap Webb-Verse Peter, but the Amazing Spider-Man quickly Web Zipped to the left and avoided the attack. He swung around as Webb-Verse Electro followed, shooting bolts of lightning in an attempt to kill his enemy. Webb-Verse Peter let go of his web and rolled into a crouched position on the ground as Webb-Verse Electro hovered before him. "Max, Max, Max!" Webb-Verse Peter started, raising his hands to show Webb-Verse Electro that he didn't want to fight, "Can we just talk for a second? Just you and me, just talk?" "Look who showed up! My old friend, Spider-Man!" Webb-Verse Electro sneered. "I'm trying to save you, Max, that's all I ever wanted!" "You're not trying to save me." "I am!" Webb-Verse Electro shook his head, "I don't need saving! I'm finally able to be seen! People SEE me!" "No, they FEAR you, Max, there's a difference!' Webb-Verse Peter tried to get his point across, but Max wouldn't listen. Webb-Verse Electro shook his head, "If that's what it takes to be seen, then so be it!" Webb-Verse Electro then fired a blast from his hands to try and end Spider-Man for good, but Webb-Verse Spidey quickly Web Zipped out of the way and swung around the villain, shooting balls of web to try and trap him. Webb-Verse Electro quickly teleported in front of Web-Verse Peter and struck him in the chest, sending the hero down to the ground. Webb-Verse Peter landed on the ground and looked to his left and saw a broken piece of rubble lying beside him. As Webb-Verse Electro shot downwards towards him, Peter quickly grabbed the rubble with two of his webs and hurled it at the approaching villain. Webb-Verse Electro blasted it apart with two bolts of lightning, but he wasn't prepared for Webb-Verse Spider-Man, who had already Web Zipped to the piece of rubble before Electro blew it apart. Webb-Verse Peter then punched Webb-Verse Electro right in the face, which sent the villain down to the ground. As Webb-Verse Spider-Man landed on the ground, he noticed a fire hydrant on the other side of Webb-Verse Electro. He got an idea. As Webb-Verse Electro got back up, Peter swung over him, enticing the villain to give chase. Webb-Verse Electro roared in anger as he flew after his enemy. Just as Webb-Verse Electro flew over the fire hydrant, Webb-Verse Peter shot a line of web at the fire hydrant and gave the web a mighty pull. The fire hydrant was torn off the ground and a sprout of water shot upwards, hitting Webb-Verse Electro as he flew over. Webb-Verse Electro screamed in pain as he fell out of the air and rolled to a stop on the ground, unconscious. Webb-Verse Peter swung back and landed next to Webb-Verse Electro and looked at him with sadness in his eyes. "Sorry, Max." "I'M GONNA BURN YOU ALIVE!!!" Electro shouted as he fired an electric blast from his hands. Spidey quickly rolled out of the way and Web Zipped over to Electro. He then socked Electro in the jaw and flipped over the villain as said villain turned around and tried zapping Spider-Man with an electric blast. Peter, thinking quickly, shot some webbing into Electro's eyes, blinding him for a moment. As the webbing burned away thanks to Electro's electricity, Peter quickly swung away, goading Electro to give chase. The villain snarled as he flew after his most hated enemy at high speeds, shooting electricity at the hero as he flew. Every time Peter's Spider-Sense went off, the Wall Crawler either swayed to the left or right to avoid an incoming electric blast. Peter's Spider-Sense went off again, except this time, he dove down to avoid the electric blast. As he dove down, Peter turned his body around and shot a line of web at the electric villain. The webbing attached to Electro's chest, confusing the villain. "What the hell?!" Peter then gave the line of web a mighty tug and swung Electro down to the floor. Electro landed with a THUD, a cloud of dirt surrounding the villain due to the sheer impact against the ground. Electro snarled and shot up into the air, his eyes crackling with yellow electricity the entire time. Electro's hands crackled with raw power as he prepared to fire a massive bolt of yellow lightning at Spider-Man. Peter wouldn't let him get the chance as he quickly Web Zipped up to the villain, swaying his body to the left as Electro fired a bolt of lightning at the hero. Once Peter was close enough, he delivered a mighty blow to Electro's chin with his knee before he kicked him in the face, sending the villain crashing down to the ground. Electro tried to get back up, but he couldn't muster the strength to do so and fell back down to the ground, defeated. Peter quickly covered him up in a net of webbing as he landed on the ground to prevent the villain from causing anymore damage. (End song) As Twilight and the others regained consciousness, the two Spider-Men landed on the ground in front of them, shocking the awakened heroes. "Wha-what the?" Twilight stuttered as she took in the sight before her. It was then that Webb-Verse Peter took off his mask to show the other heroes that he didn't mean any harm. Sonic pointed at Webb-Verse Peter with his index finger, "Who the heck are you?" "I'm Peter Parker....." Webb-Verse Peter started. "That's not possible." Twilight cut in. "And I'm Spider-Man.....on my world," Webb-Verse Peter continued, "But then a few minutes ago, I-I was just here." Starlight turned to Sonic with a look of realization on her face, "Another Multiversal Trespasser." While the heroes were processing this, Webb-Verse Peter was taking it all in, "Wow, String Theory. Multidimensional Reality. All real?" Peter nodded as he took off his mask, "All real." Webb-Verse Peter was ecstatic, "Wow, so cool." Peter chuckled, "If you think THAT'S cool, boy do I got a story for you."
