Shattered Arrival
"Ugh," Miguel says as a giant croc breathes above him. "May I help you?"
-
"Ouch," Peter says as he wakes up in a sewer, costume ripped up. Why was he in a sewer?
"Owie," said a young but familiar voice.
Peter looks at the end of the tunnel to find his younger counterpart, Ultimate, groaning in pain as the Black Suit heals him. Ultimate looks at his older counterpart.
"Amazing? Where are we?" Ultimate asks.
Before Amazing could answer that question, they heard loud footsteps.
They turn around to see a giant humanoid crocodile looking at them. Before they could fight, Miguel walked past him.
"Amazing! Ultimate!" 2099 shouts as the three hug.
"2099! You're alright!" Ultimate shouts.
"Have you seen Noir?" Amazing asks.
"Negative. We're still searching for him," 2099 answers.
"'We're?'" Ultimate asks as he looks at the giant gator.
"This is Waylon Jones or Killer Croc. Met him while I was searching around the place," Miguel explains to the other two Spider-Man.
"Wow. I never thought we met a sane lizard man, ai Ultimate?" Amazing asks, much to Killer Croc's surprise.
"I know! You look, Killer, Croc! In a good way!" Ultimate laughs at his quip, with the others joining in.
"Heh heh. I like you three. So none of you are afraid of me?" Killer Croc curiously asks. Not many people would shrug his appearance off.
"Puh-lease. We've seen scarier than you. And much more disturbing," Amazing explains as he turns to Ultimate. "Hey, Ultimate. Do the thing."
"Okay!" Ultimate says as he clenches his fists. His suit morphs from a little man to a giant beast with teeth. The beast flexes his muscles as he shouts, "Ta-da! I am Venom now!"
"I see what you mean. It's nice to find people who won't judge my condition," Killer Croc says as 2099 whispers to the other Spider-Man and Venom, "We're definitely making a cure for him."
The two nod as they continue on their search.

Parker woke up wet. He shakes his head. Where was he? He looks at the teal water on him in curiosity. What is this?
Something screeches as he turns to see some kind of owl creatures heading towards him, ready for a fight.
Firing a web net, he throws a tech grenade the others made for him that blasts the captured owls away. He then brings out his dual Arc Tasers as he fires them from a distance.
As they got close, he kicked up into the air as the wind blew them away. He attacks one in the air, slamming him down, and flurry-punches it. Two owls grab him by the arms while another pounce. Spider-Man raises his feet and kicks it away before split-kicking his captors.
He runs up a wall, firing on the climbing owls using his revolvers. More leaped on him, but he punched and kicked them away.
An owl trips him into the ground before too many owls dogpile him. Before they could overwhelm Spider-Man Noir, tendrils whack them all away as Spider-Man turns to see Ultimate Venom in the distance with his two comrades and a giant reptile.
"Come on, old man! We need to leave!" Ultimate shouts as Noir rushes towards them.
Killer Croc blocks the owls from reaching the Spider-Men before shouting, "Go!"
"Jones!" 2099 shouts at their ally.
"I'll be fine! You need to leave before your friend gets taken by those freaks!" Killer Croc shouts.
Amazing puts a hand on 2099's shoulder. They nod to each other before the Spider-Men left to escape.

Ultimate, back being Spider-Man, lifts a manhole cover to look around for citizens.
"Coast is clear, people," Ultimate says as he and the others exit the sewers.
Where they were at was surprising. It looked like Amazing's and Ultimate's New York, but with the atmosphere of Noir's.
The four Spider-Men notice armed men transporting stolen weapons from Wayne Enterprises. They use their Spider-Sense to see snipers surrounding the place.
The Spider-Men split up. Spider-Man Noir snags on one sniper and slams him to the wall before webbing him up.
"Lights out."
Spider-Man 2099 leaps to another sniper and lands him, knocking him out.
"Was expecting more."
Ultimate Spider-Man uses his tendrils for a two-for-one takedown, slamming them into each other.
"Too easy."
Amazing Spider-Man fires a stream of webbing, trapping the poor goon in a cocoon.
"Sorry, not sorry."
The four Spider-Men took out the remaining snipers before leaping to the scene.
They land as the wind blows a bunch away, revealing themselves.
"More costumed wannabees! Get them!" A goon shouts.

Red Hood was watching in the distance as his siblings and Barbara joined him.
"What's going on, Jason?" Nightwing asks.
"Look over there," Red Hood answers as he points to four new heroes.
The red one has great agility. He dodges bullets without a single scratch, knocking goons around with hammers and spikes made out of webbing, trapping his enemy with excessive amounts of it. He rapidly punches his foe, appearing in multiple places in milliseconds
The gray one is stealthy. He disappears into the shadows before reappearing to pluck his foes one by one. When he is stuck in the light, he punches and kicks with so much force while blasting a multitude with his energy weapons.
The blue was fast. Way too fast for the goons to track. Sometimes, he sees the bullet before it hits him and dodges, as if he's seeing things in slow motion. He hits one enemy to others in a flash.
The black one was powerful. He whacks everyone goon that crosses him into next week. Tendrils come out of his body as he roars before pummeling the poor saps into next week. The tendrils could grow into the size of steel beams.
The gray hero's body glows teal. A familiar teal Red Hood uses himself.
"Noir? What's happening?" The red one asks.
"Don't know. But let's find out," The newly-named Noir says as his body emits a teal shockwave that blacks out the surrounding lights across a couple of blocks.
The henchmen panicked as the new heroes took them down quickly, with lots of "oofs" and "aghs" heard.
The lights turn on with the goons webbed to the ground and lamps. They look straight towards the Gotham Knights and wave at them before swinging away using thin threads of webbing.
"Shouldn't we stop them?" Robin asks.
-
"What was that Noir?" 2099 asks.
"I don't know," Noir admits as teal energy flows through his fists. "But I like it."
