Chapter 01: Another Day another Mishap
"You know, I shouldn't even be surprised." A young seventeen year old teenager muttered as he was standing on the side of an extremely tall tree with his arms crossed, looking out over the forest he was in with the sun rising in the distance. "How the heck do I get myself in these situations?"
If one were to see this teenager, they would most likely do a double take considering his odd attire.
He was wearing a form fitting red and blue spandex-looking costume with black web lines on it along with a black spider emblem on the front and a red mask with silverish bug eyes was over his face.
"Yup." Spider-Man, the web swinging Superhero of New York City gave a nod as he sat down, not even close to losing whatever balance he had on the tall tree. "The ol' Parker Luck is what it is."
One second he was in New York fighting Otto Octavius who stole some sort of artifact from the Museum, something called the Tablet of Order and Chaos.
It was strange enough for Ock to steal something like that in the first place, but it was actually bait to ambush yours truly with the rest of the Sinister Six ready as backup to fight him. The tablet however shattered in their fight and a backlash of energy erupted from it sending him here.
Wherever 'here' was.
"I better at least get to the nearest point of civilization and hopefully someone has a phone so I could call for a ride." Spider-Man muttered as he kicked off of the tree, doing a flip as his hand reached out and grasped a branch, using it to propel himself forward as he began jumping from tree to tree. "Johnny still owes me for saving his hide from Beetle anyways."
"Seriously?!" Spider-Man shouted as he has spent hours jumping from tree to tree, and he was still finding no end to the forest while the sun was high in the sky now. "Did I end up in the Savage Land or something?!"
Although he doubted it because he did hear gunshots earlier in the distance, but it was hunting season so he didn't really look into it.
Shaking his head, Spider-Man gave a sigh as he sat on another branch to rest for a bit.
"Great, I'm lost in the woods." Spider-Man muttered his whole day went through his head. "I knew I should've stayed in bed this morning."
Feeling bored, Spider-Man flipped on the branch and his feet stuck to the underside to where he was standing completely upside down, his adhesive bond going through his feet to ensure that he wouldn't fall.
"But no, I had to get out unless I face getting fired from my freelancing job at the Bugle." Spider-Man sighed as he thought of his crabby old boss. "Why do I work for Jameson again?"
Closing his eyes behind his mask, Spider-Man stiffened as a tingling was going on in his head. 'My Spider-Sense? But what's the danger?'
His sixth sense always went off right when something bad was about to happen, it saved his life a thousand times over in his line of work.
Snarling made him look up, or down really, as he saw some bears looking up at him as they had bone like armor on them.
"Okay this is new." Spider-Man muttered now worried that he might somehow be in another dimension.
It wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened.
"So any of you know a way out of here?" Spider-Man asked curiously as if they could speak english only for them to roar causing him to sigh. "Yeah, somehow I didn't think so-."
He stopped when one of the bears began climbing the tree as Spider-Man frowned before jumping off, kicking it in the face as he used it as a springboard and did a flip, landing in his signature crouch behind the other bear as the first one slammed into the ground with a sickening thud.
The second bear roared as what looked like black smoke began emanating from the first one and lunged at Spider-Man who ducked before shooting two web strands from a wrist mounted device, connecting with the back of the bear.
"How about we do a little spin?" Spider-Man joked as he tugged and began to spin in a circle causing the bear to spin before he let go and it slammed into a tree, cracking it as it fell to the ground in the same condition as the first one. "Had enough?"
Feeling his spider-sense going off again, Spider-Man looked to the left to see two more.
"Oh boy." Spider-Man muttered as he got ready. "Okay Smokey, let's do this-."
"Ruby is that you?" Spider-Man looked over his shoulder to see a young woman with wavy blonde hair and lilac eyes pop her head out of the bushes before she saw the strange scene and blinked before responding in a deadpan tone, answering her own question. "... Nope."
"Uh you might want to get out of here-." Spider-Man went to say before the bear lunged and Spider-Man dropped down to his back with his hands on the floor and kicked straight up, launching the bear into the air before he shot it with webbing and attempted to have it slam into its friend, but the friend moved out of the way and ran at Spider-Man. "Man, when will you learn-?"
The girl rushed forward surprising Spider-Man as he could see more than her head now.
She wore a buttoned tan vest over a yellow top as an orange scarf was around her neck and black shorts with a brown belt that had a pleated skirt on the back.
Her gold bracelets however changed into gauntlets as she punched the bear in the stomach before the sound of a shotgun sounded in the area surprising Spider-Man as the bear flew back.
The girl turned to Spider-Man who was staring at her in surprise and despite the masked face, the eyes were wide open. "What? I can't let you have all the fun." She said with a teasing smile. "So I guess we're partners?"
That snapped Spider-Man out of his surprise. "Partners?" He asked in confusion. "Lady I don't even know you."
The girl now looked confused. "Aren't you going to Beacon?" She asked with a raised brow as he did sound like he was the same age as the other initiates.
She wasn't really questioning his attire since some Huntsmen and Huntresses wore some weird things.
"I don't even know what Beacon is, I'm just trying to figure out where I am." Spider-Man told her as he was wary. "Next thing I know, Yogi thinks I stole his picnic basket."
The girl raised a brow at the whole Yogi spiel. "Well alright tall, limber and mysterious." She said poking some fun at him. "The name's Yang Xiao Long."
"Spider-Man."
"... Really?" Yang asked in a deadpanned tone.
"What, I don't give my real name, Superhero 101." Spider-Man said with a shrug before crossing his arms. "So how far am I from New York?"
Yang was about to question the 'superhero' thing before they tensed as more bears ran out. "Well, Spidey how about we save the questions until after we beat the Ursa's?"
"How did you know my nickname?" Spider-Man joked surprising her before he crouched. "Ladies first."
"And they say Chivalry is dead." Yang said sarcastically as she ducked a swipe and punched one back. "So Spidey, any chance you've seen a little girl in a red hood around here?"
"No Goldilocks, I haven't seen Little Red Riding Hood anywhere." Spider-Man returned with a quip. "Should we ask the bears or are they pissed that you took their porridge?"
Yang let out a chuckle despite not understanding the references, knowing a quip when she heard one.
Oh yeah, he'll be fun to hang around.
As she delivered an uppercut to the Ursa, she turned to see Spider-Man twisting and contorting his body in impossible angles to dodge attacks, even without looking to see the attacks coming.
He was a good fighter.
"So what about you?" Yang asked the Ursa. "Seen a girl with a red hood?"
A roar was her only response.
"Wow, you could've said no." Yang commented jumping back to where she and Spider-Man were back to back. "Hey Spidey, don't you have any weapons?"
"What, my web shooters don't count?" Spider-Man asked and that was when Yang noticed the metallic bracelet on his wrists.
"Huh and here I was thinking you actually shot them out of your wrists." Yang said as the Ursa didn't run at them now, they were instead surrounding them.
"You're not the first, I'll give you that." Spider-Man said as he shot strands of webbing, ensnaring the Ursa's, leaving only one left before it yelped as a blade went across its back.
Both Yang and Spider-Man paused as the last Ursa fell over dead, showing another girl with long black hair that had a bow on the top and yellow eyes as she wore a black buttoned vest with coattails, and a white, sleeveless undershirt that exposes part of her midriff with white shorts that may be connected to her shirt, although it is partly obscured by the vest.
"... I could've taken him." Yang said as she relaxed while the girl looked from her to Spider-Man. "But thanks."
The new girl was quiet for a bit before giving a nod. "It's no trouble." She said.
"Hey sorry for interrupting you two, but can someone tell me where I am?" Spider-Man asked now that was over as he didn't want to be attacked by anything else.
"Oh right, I forgot you were lost." Yang said as the other girl looked surprised. "Well Spidey you're in Emerald Forest."
Spider-Man looked at Yang for a few seconds before he replied. "I have no clue where that is." Shaking his head, Spider-Man sighed. "Great, I really am in another dimension."
"The first thing that comes to your mind is that you're in another dimension?" The new girl asked a bit dryly in disbelief at how he came to that idea.
"Wouldn't be the first time that's happened." Spider-Man quipped before jabbing a thumb at the Ursa's struggling in his webs. "After all back in my dimension we don't have angry bears like that."
Unknown to them, the entire conversation was being recorded as two people on the cliff were watching the three.
One of them was sipping coffee while the other one was furiously looking through the scroll, trying to figure out who that was.
"Well, this is an interesting development." The one with the coffee said as he pushed the small sunglasses up the bridge of his nose as his silver hair was shining from the sun while the blonde bespectacled woman in the white blouse gave him a look.
"Interesting isn't a word I would use Professor Ozpin." Glynda Goodwitch said to him. "This is a major security breach to our initiation exam-."
"Let it run its course." Prof. Ozpin said to her. "This test is to show us how the future generation of Huntsmen and Huntresses adapts to the unexpected, if anything this is a part of that test."
Goodwitch frowned at that before nodding, accepting his decision. "Very well but after this test we're getting some answers."
"So why are you following us?" Yang asked as since Spider-Man wasn't a part of the school, her partner was this other girl who introduced herself as Blake Belladonna.
"I don't know where I am and you two know where we are, it would be stupid not to follow you." Spider-Man said with a shrug. "Especially since I know nothing about these… You called them Grimm, right?"
"The Creatures of Grimm." Blake repeated as she did give him a rundown version, although she was a bit wary of him due to how he hid his face and refused to give his real name.
"Right." Spider-Man said with a nod.
"I guess that makes sense." Yang said with a nod agreeing with his reasoning. "Just don't hog all the action to yourself."
Spider-Man didn't respond as he rolled his eyes, and the mask even did that surprising Yang while Spider-Man just smirked underneath it.
His suit which used to be spandex was now made from unstable molecules and Omni-harmonic mesh that he borrowed from Stark upon joining the Avengers as well as Reed Richards giving him a hand at designing it, so it could repair itself if damaged and he could bend the light around him to turn invisible, it could even change to different clothes with a single thought, something he was grateful for considering he doesn't have anything else but this at the moment.
… He might've messed with the lenses to where they would move with his eyes, Stark said it was a weird thing to do, but the reactions that people give upon seeing it made the process worth it.
"So what are you two even doing out here in the first place?" Spider-Man looked at them. "I remember you saying something about a Beacon?"
"It's an Initiation process to enter Beacon Academy." Blake told him as she kept her eyes forward, looking out for any Grimm.
"Yeesh, this Academy must have some high standards." Spider-Man muttered as he shook his head.
"It has to considering we're training to be Huntresses." Blake said as she turned towards him. "It's not something to be taken lightly."
'Huntresses… Somehow this is reminding me of SHIELD.' Spider-Man thought a bit unsure before they came out of the forest where they saw a pair of ruins.
"Think this is it?" Yang asked as Blake didn't answer as she slowly climbed down while Spider-Man just jumped and landed in his crouch. "Show off."
"I aim to please." Spider-Man said with a chuckle as she slid down.
"Chess Pieces?" Blake asked in confusion.
"Some of them are missing." Yang commented as there were only a few of them. "Look's like we're not the first ones here."
"Well, I guess we should pick one." Blake said before she noticed that Spider-Man was gone and she looked around before hearing a noise above and looked up, her eyes widening when she saw him sitting on the side of a pillar.
"What?" Spider-Man asked with a grin under his mask as he missed seeing that reaction due to how the people he knew back in New York were used to that.
Blake frowned at hearing the teasing tone in his voice as she turned away.
"How about a cute little pony?" Yang asked turning to them as she held the White Knight Chess Piece before blinking at seeing Spider-Man.
Blake rolled her eyes, trying not to smirk as she failed. "Sure." She said walking back to her as Yang met her halfway.
"That wasn't too hard." Yang said with a smile.
"Wasn't too hard? We fought an army of Yogi's on our way here." Spider-Man said in disbelief.
Yang waved that off. "That was nothing." She said.
Blake shrugged as she still had the smile. "Well it's not like this place is very difficult to find." She said as a thought came to her. "Hey Spider-Man, do you mind if I ask you a question?"
"You just did." Spider-Man said chuckling at her small glare while Yang snickered. "Sorry, what is it?"
"You said you weren't from around here, how did you get here?" Blake asked as Spider-Man frowned under his mask before he dropped off of the pillar, landing on the ground.
"Well I was just doing the usual patrol back in New York-that's the city I'm from." Spider-Man quickly explained as both of them looked confused, although Yang recognized the name due to him saying it before. "When Ock, one of my enemies was robbing the Museum of Natural History which was weird in itself due to how it wasn't his usual MO."
"What was his usual MO?" Yang asked as she was a bit interested in this story.
"He's a scientist so stealing an artifact was beyond strange for him." Spider-Man said with a chuckle. "I intervened, made a joke about his metal tentacles, don't give me that look, those things hurt when they smack you around the room." He said that last part as both the girls had another weird look due to the idea of a man with metal tentacles.
"Wow, I bet he had quite the tentacle fetish." Yang drawled out as Blake grimaced at hearing that while Spider-Man laughed.
"I always questioned that, anyways as it turns out it was a trap to lure me out where five more of my enemies were waiting to ambush me." Spider-Man said as he winced remembering the hits he got from the fight. If his suit wasn't unstable molecules he would most likely be wearing nothing but rags at the moment. "So I had to fight him, Electro, Kraven, Mysterio, Sandman and Rhino at the same time before the artifact that Ock had stolen shattered in the fight and it released some sort of weird energy and the next thing I know I'm in this forest."
"... That sounds like something out of those comic books that Ruby reads." Yang deadpanned at the explanation.
"Tell me about it, my whole life feels like one." Spider-Man said before muttering. "Sometimes I think Deadpool is right about that."
Blake however frowned as despite that being the most ridiculous story she ever heard, his voice didn't waver one bit and he seemed to be telling the truth and it would actually explain quite a bit about him.
But she couldn't exactly just take his word for it-.
"Wait… You were alone?" Blake asked as Spider-Man blinked before groaning.
"Oh great, I didn't even think about the idea of the Six being here too." Spider-Man muttered in annoyance. "Perfect, now I have to look for them before I find my way home."
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" A voice screamed out causing them to tense as Yang spun around.
"Some girl is in trouble!" Yang said in worry. "Did you guys hear that?!"
"Which way was it?" Spider-Man asked his hero side kicking in before noticing how Blake was looking up in disbelief. "What are you looking at-?"
Spider-Man stopped as he looked up to see a red dot that was getting bigger.
'What was that?' Spider-Man thought in confusion.
To Be Continued…
Yes, another RWBY story but this time with your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. So tell me what you think and if you think I should continue this along with Alien Huntsman.
Anyways, this version of Spider-Man is mostly inspired from Spectacular Spider-Man because that was one of the best cartoons about him and a few things from the comics.
