Marvel Superhero Adventures: Intergalactic Grand Prix/Transcript/Chapter 1

The transcript for "The Race is On!", the first chapter of the story mode of Marvel Superhero Adventures: Intergalactic Grand Prix.

Cutscene 1: "Prologue"
(story opens in space, with Uatu the Watcher in a silhouetted form)
 * Uatu the Watcher: The galaxy... to your eyes, a hundred billion points of light. But where you see light, I see worlds and the countless stories that fill them. I am Uatu the Watcher. And I am your guide to the story of this vast new universe. Where the heroes you know have fought the most remarkable battles. Including one in the most unlikely of forms...

(next, we see the Fantastic Four battling alongside the Silver Surfer against Galactus, whose ship is about to harvest the planet of Sakaar. We see Invisible Woman and Human Torch in the core of Galactus's ship, with Mister Fantastic and the Thing joining them)
 * Mister Fantastic: The Surfer's bought us some time. But we're not sure how long he can keep Galactus distracted.
 * Invisible Woman: Hopefully, long enough for us to have this ship send Galactus to the Negative Zone.

(as the Four work to reconfigure the ship, Silver Surfer is seen fighting Galactus)
 * Galactus: You cannot defeat me! I made you my herald! I made you to serve me!
 * Silver Surfer: I will no longer serve. (Galactus notices his ship being obliterated as a portal for the Negative Zone opens and engulfs him) This is the end for us both. (enhanced by the Power Cosmic, Surfer pulls Galactus into the portal. He then sees the Fantastic Four) This is where we part ways, my friends. Thank you for showing me the path of redemption.

(Silver Surfer enters the portal to the Negative Zone, preventing a struggling Galactus from escaping before the portal closes, as the Fantastic Four look on)
 * Mister Fantastic: Til we meet again, old friend.

(the Four are shown leaving Sakaar in their ship, with the Grandmaster watching)
 * Grandmaster: Well, that was anticlimactic. But thank the Elders the Fantastic Four could redeem the Silver Surfer before it was too late. It would be a devastating shame. Sakaar is one the many places in this galaxy where I plan to host my newest tournament.
 * Sakaarian Guard: But I thought you retired from hosting gladiatorial battles, my lord.
 * Grandmaster: Gladiatorial battles, yes. But not the one I have been inspired by the Terrans to commence. The one... (sees a fragment of Galactus's ship, which is still pulsing with energy. Grandmaster uses his powers to turn the fragment into a decorative trophy) the one which is worth a magnificent masterpiece of prize. (levitates in the air, as the Sakaarians notice him) For long, you have waited for this, my people. And now, that wait is over. Alert the realms. Alert the Nova Corps. Alert the Terrans' military agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. The preparations for your new contest of champions, the Intergalactic Grand Prix... begin now! And may the winner be declared the Ultimate Traveler.

(The Grandmaster holds the trophy in the air triumphantly as the Sakaarians are heard cheering)
 * Uatu the Watcher: (narrating) And that was the beginning of a race. Not just to determine who was the best... but also, to save the universe.

(Scene fades in white light for the opening titles, which are presented in images of superheroes in their racing vehicles) "Disney Interactive presents... in association with Marvel Comics... a game by Sega... Marvel Superhero Adventures: Intergalactic Grand Prix"

Cutscene 2: "Introduction"

 * Taglines: "TWO MONTHS LATER..."

(scene opens in New York City, where Peter Parker / Spider-Man swinging around the city, while flashbacks of his earlier days are shown)
 * Peter Parker: (narrating) Okay, let's do this again just one last time. My name is Peter Parker. I was bitten by a radioactive lab spider, and for the last two years... I've been your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Pretty sure you know the rest. On that time, I've faced some of the nastiest supervillains ever born. Including my old nemeses Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus and Venom. And saved lives like every hero is meant to do. Of course, I'm also maintaining my relationships with the important people of my life. People I trust to keep my life as a superhero in secret. Especially with the two first girls who knew my identity from day one: my sweet princess and angel, Mary Jane Watson, who even convinced me to join ranks with Earth's greatest heroes... and my best friend, Kamala Khan, who received superpowers after she found out she's a rare Inhuman/Mutant hybrid, and for the last six months, has been your all new, all different Ms. Marvel. More recently, we've been fighting together, training together, and having more fun together. And doing some more alongside friends who are ready for anything. Like in this case... (scene shifts to Peter with Mary Jane Watson (who is wearing her racing flag girl suit), her pet tiger Diego, and Guardians of the Galaxy members Rocket Raccoon and Groot are hitching a ride on Happy Hogan's trailer, which is followed by remote-controlled trucks from Horizon Labs and Stark Industries) taking part of a new, big event that will determine the fate of the universe. And in the most unlikely of forms...
 * Betty Brant: (on live streaming) This is Betty Brant reporting live from Happy Hogan's theme park, the AvengersLand, with more news about the incoming universal championship known as the Intergalactic Grand Prix. Today, we stand in the middle of a crowd of both superhero fans and sports fans, as they cheer on their heroes, including the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and his amazing friends, in today's first race, which will take place right here in New York City, with the starting and finishing line set in front of the Avengers Tower. (Grandmaster appears on scene) And here, we have the alien emperor known as the Grandmaster, who organized this great event which both heroes and villains are participating. So, Grandmaster? Is inviting the supervillains part of your plans for the competition? Or did they just join in willingly like the heroes did?
 * Grandmaster: Mostly, my dear Betty... inviting the villains, including the Kree Empire's insane accuser Ronan, was a scheme my brother Taneleer Tivan, also known as the Collector, planned. "To hasten the challenge", he said.

(as the Grandmaster speaks in the news, Rocket talks to the gang)
 * Rocket Raccoon: (scoffs) You believe this? I mean, the fact that the Grandmaster became the good guy because of this racing championship?
 * Peter Parker: I know. He once admitted that he used to get gladiators to fight in his arena against their will. But after that match between Hulk and Thor, he did decide it would be better if the gladiators fought more willingly than being forced to do so.
 * Mary Jane Watson: Not to mention that the Grandmaster grew to trust humans since the Avengers once saved Sakaar from Kang's alternate timeline variants, and after the Fantastic Four convinced the Silver Surfer to help them stop Galactus from destroying Sakaar. Which was enough reason for him to follow our rules.
 * Groot: (agreeing tune) I am Groot.
 * Rocket Raccoon: Right, if you say so...

(the truck at the testing grounds of Horizon Labs, where Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel is waiting)
 * Happy Hogan: (parking his trailer) Alright, gang. It's Horizon Labs. We've got 30 minutes to test your vehicles before the show. Modell, how are the tracks?
 * Max Modell: (speakers voice) Functional and ready, Hogan. Just the same as the vehicles.

(the vehicles are placed in their test fields)
 * Mary Jane Watson: (to Peter) Hope you and others don't mind. I'll be in my room to test my suit's capabilities one more time before the big event. Don't crash your cars too soon on your tests, okay?
 * Peter Parker: We promise, MJ.
 * Mary Jane Watson: Very good. (kisses Peter) See you at AvengersLand, Tiger. (Diego walks next to Peter) Come on, Diego. (she walks forward with Diego following her, greeting Kamala, and giving Peter a flirtatious wink before heading to her room, as Diego keeps on guard)
 * Rocket Raccoon: (to Peter) How such a hot babe like her wound up with someone like you, that's still a mystery.
 * Groot: (curious tune; to Rocket) I am Groot?
 * Rocket Raccoon: What?! No, of course I'm not flirtin' with her! Where'd you get that idea from? I'm just... ya know, curious. (Groot just stares at him) Let's just... test our vehicles, and get the heck goin'.

(Rocket and Groot move forward, as Kamala approaches Peter)
 * Kamala Khan: You know, I still can't get over that leotard that MJ's wearing. I'm almost even jealous.
 * Peter Parker: (chuckles) Yeah, I know. Felicia said the same thing. Not just about MJ, but the other girls in her band when we were at the auditions. (they met with Max Modell) How are the vehicles, Max?
 * Max Modell: Just the way you and Kamala left them, Peter. We also took liberty of adding some of our own improvements. To make sure they could withstand the tricky obstacles and debris on the tracks. You and I have both heard of gruesome accidents that happened to race cars because of debris, didn't you?
 * Peter Parker: Yeah, I know. Even the smallest ones that blew up tires like balloons, and caused those crashes that put a lot of racers out of the races. These accidents either left racers hospitalized, or...

(they look at an old newspaper reporting the )
 * Max Modell: Yeah, that's... very concerning. But, I'm sure you and the others will be fine. You've endured far worse, after all. (Peter nods for yes) And the Grandmaster, as dedicated to this tournament as he is, might as well ensure those accidents won't happen.
 * Peter Parker: Yeah, one would say it's "better safe than sorry", right?

(Modell gives an agreeing nod and opens the doors for the vehicles on the track)
 * Max Modell: Now, back to your vehicles... like I said, we added the finest adjustments we could provide to make sure the said accidents won't happen. Hope you didn't mind...
 * Peter Parker: It's good enough, Max. Thanks. (Modell gives a positive nod, and leaves) (to Kamala) Ready to test your kart and your scooter one more time before the big show?
 * Kamala Khan: (shares a fist bump with him) Just as ready as you are.

(they enter the training track)
 * Peter Parker: J.A.R.V.I.S., you up?
 * J.A.R.V.I.S.: Always, sir.
 * Peter Parker: Alright. (hops on his race car, Arachne's Hound, while Kamala hops on her kart, the Baby Sloth) Let's put those bad boys for a test.
 * J.A.R.V.I.S.: Affirmative. (systems power up, as engines are heard roaring) Initiating training section.

(End of the cutscene; cue to the "One Last Test" mission)

Cutscene 3: "Welcome to AvengersLand"
(after the "One Last Test" mission, cutscene opens with Peter / Spider-Man and Kamala / Ms. Marvel watching as their vehicles are put on Hogan's truck)
 * J.A.R.V.I.S.: Congratulations, mr. Parker and ms. Khan, for your successful tests with your vehicles. And good luck in the Intergalactic Grand Prix.
 * Peter and Kamala: Thank you, J.A.R.V.I.S.. (they hop in Hogan's trailer, where Tony Stark is waiting)
 * Tony Stark: Ready for the show? (Peter and Kamala thumb up for yes) Alright. We're good to go, Hogan.
 * Happy Hogan: (smiles and puts on his cowboy hat) Oh, yeah. (puts on his sunglasses) Next stop: AvengersLand.

(Hogan drives onward. Scene shifts to AvengersLand, where other superheroes are waiting for their vehicles to arrive, and conversate with each other; we first see Felicia Hardy / Black Cat with Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow and Clint Barton / Hawkeye)
 * Black Widow: Surprised to see you joined the contest like most of us, Felicia. I suppose you're hoping to achieve a good fortune like those treasures you collected in your off-time? Or... some money that you stole from rich men like Kingpin and donated to the poor?
 * Black Cat: Yeah, but fortune's something I already have in my mansion. I'm actually in for the sport like Peter and Kamala are. If someone would be on for the money, that would be another cheap crab like Kingpin. Or that loud mouth J. Jonah Jameson.
 * Black Widow: Fortunately, Jameson stopped bickering about your friend, and started accepting him as a hero. Although, Robertson is the one doing the reports from now on.
 * Hawkeye: But I still don't get why Jameson was so paranoid with that "Spider-Man Menace" nonsense he wrote in the Bugle without any proof or evidence of what happened. What was he on to?
 * Black Cat: Some people say that he was afraid of Spidey. Some say he was jealous, which's typical. But as it turned out, it was always about him wanting credit for the good someone else did. Including even superheroes like you Avengers. Worst of all... his own son.
 * Black Widow: Because he thought he had to be the one holding the knife, and then that knife turned his beloved son into the very menace he accused your friend to be. The same menace which's imprisoned in the Raft even now.

(next, we see Miles Morales / Kid Arachnid being approached by Glory Grant)
 * Glory Grant: Nervous, cousin?
 * Miles Morales: Been practicing for this big show a lot. More excited than nervous.
 * Glory Grant: (giggles and hugs Miles) That's the spirit.
 * Miles Morales: (seeing Gwen Stacy with her sister Sarah, and Felicia with Betty) Now, about what you, MJ, Sarah and Betty... you're not too nervous about wearing leotards in public, are you?
 * Glory Grant: It was Betty's idea, you know. To make sure we're lookin' as hot as other heroines. Especially She-Hulk, eventually... so, no. We actually kinda liked it. (she and Miles see Mary Jane being greeted by Logan / Wolverine and Stan Lee, with the latter petting Diego) And I still think MJ is the luckiest of all of us. Ever since she got that big handsome tiger as a pet...
 * Miles Morales: Could've been better. He could be the band's mascot, if you approve...

(next, we see Gwen approaching Captain America)
 * Captain America: Eager for the big show, Gwen?
 * Gwen Stacy: After spending days preparing for it, you can take that as a yes, Cap. And, of course... (referring to Sarah, who is with Betty and Gloria) looking after my little sister, as I promised my mom. (sees Winter Soldier exercising alongside the Thing) And I'm glad to see your pal Bucky also signed up for the competition. For a while, I thought he'd want no part of it.
 * Captain America: Yeah, he did want to stay out of battles some time to recover from Hydra's brainwashing. But it worked well for him after all that. And now... now, he's embracing the ideals of being a superhero.
 * Gwen Stacy: And the ideals of being a racer too, right.
 * Captain America: Yeah, that too.

(Then, they are met Peter / Spider-Man, Kamala / Ms. Marvel and Stark / Iron Man)
 * Peter Parker: Sorry we might be late. Had a lot of stuff to do in Horizon Labs before the first big show.
 * Captain America: Not late at all, Peter. Not late at all.
 * Tony Stark: That's good. 'Cause MJ just called. She said our first race might begin in any minute.

(next, we see Mary Jane and Diego with some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Nova Corps troopers in a starting/finishing line in front of Avengers Tower)
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: Circuit 1 is ready, ms. Watson. Agent Coulson and mr. Robertson are waiting for the racers of Group A to be ready in five minutes.
 * Mary Jane Watson: (nods for agreement) Consider it done. (materializes an ear communicator in her right ear) Our first race will begin in five minutes. (cut to the Avengers in the park; speakers voice) All participants of Group A, please choose your vehicles, and present yourselves to your positions prior to this time.
 * Captain America: Well, that's our cue. Let's do this. (he and the Group A racers move on)
 * Kamala Khan: For a while, I was expecting him to say: "Avengers assemble".
 * Peter Parker: Yeah, but he more usually uses that line as a battlecry than an everyday catchphrase. (looks around, and sees that someone is missing) What about Thor? Isn't he joining us like he said he would?
 * Captain America: Oh, he said something about fulfilling a promise he made to one of his fans about... giving an epic entrance in this first race. "Straight from Asgard", he said. But he'll join us soon. Don't worry.
 * Tony Stark: Let's just hope he won't be late.

(meanwhile on Asgard, Thor is watching Earth before being greeted by a group of vikings)
 * Viking Leader: Your chariot is ready for you, sire. (the vikings present Thor with his vehicle: Frigga's Gift)
 * Thor: Thank you, loyal vikings. And now, like the Avengers said: for the show...

(End of the cutscene)

Cutscene 4: "The First Race"
(cutscene opens in the streets of the Avengers Tower, where numerous citizens and Avengers fans are cheering around the starting line)
 * Betty Brant: Good morning, sports fans! I'm Betty Brant from Horizon Academy's Journal Bugle, reporting live on the starting line of the first circuit of the Intergalactic Grand Prix! Taking place in the streets of the Avengers Tower, and the finest areas of New York. As well as the AvengersLand. (Mary Jane arrives via teleporters and walks fashionably on EMP platforms) And there's the flag girl for the races, Horizon's star cheerleader, and leader of the Mary Janes rock band: Mary Jane Watson! (Mary Jane blows kisses and waves at the cheering crowd and chuckles softly. Diego is shown next to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Hogan) And now, I pass the word to the Grand Prix's racing announcers: agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Phil Coulson and Daily Bugle reporter Robbie Robertson.
 * Phil Coulson: Thank you, Betty. And welcome, sports fans, to our heroes' first challenge on the Intergalactic Grand Prix! Where the finest of them race to determine the galaxy's Ultimate Traveler.
 * Robbie Robertson: That's right, Phil. And fans roared loud to see their heroes, including the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, participating in this sensational tournament. Beginning with this course, taking place in New York. And... without that paranoid Jameson to jeopardize the event with his fake news.
 * Phil Coulson: And now, for contestants of Group A.

(we see Spider-Man approaching the track with the Neighborhood Wind)
 * Robbie Robertson: Riding on his new improved motorcycle... is New York's favorite wall-crawler and crime-fighter! That's right, folks! It's your friendly neighborhood, the Spectacular Spider-Man!

(Spider-Man enters his position and greets the cheering crowd. Next, Ms. Marvel approaches with the Sloth Baby)
 * Phil Coulson: Coming up next is... the Number #1 in New York's Top 10 list of best superhero Inhumans! And one of the Avengers' newest and best prodigies! The Destined One! The Shield to a Million Children! Let's hear it for... the Magnificent Ms. Marvel! (Ms. Marvel enters position cheerfully) Also joining our two contenders is... (we see a silhouetted biker approaching, and with crowd cheering) the best there is at what he does! And one of the greatest X-Men and war heroes in existence! Let's hear it for... (the approaching racer is revealed) WOLVERINE!! (Wolverine raises his clawed fist triumphantly for the cheering crowd)
 * Wolverine: (entering his position; to Spider-Man) In for the show, too. Eh, bub?
 * Spider-Man: Same as you, bub. (they fist bump)
 * Robbie Robertson: Also joining the circuit in Group A... (the next biker approaches; silhouettes reveal it is two on one bike) ...not just one, but two champions in one! The Guardians of the Galaxy's top dynamic duo! ROCKET RACCOON AND GROOT!! (Rocket and Groot pose triumphantly for the crowd, which includeds some fans with slogans "Go, Rocket!" and "We Are Groot! ❤💚")
 * Groot: (surprised) I am Groot.
 * Rocket Raccoon: Yep. It's really good to have fans among the Terrans, bud. (he and Groot enter their position, greeting Spider-Man and Wolverine)
 * Spider-Man: Someone took the "two heads is better than one" concept pretty seriously.
 * Wolverine: Shouldn't be surprised.

(the skies are covered in lightning-fuelled clouds)
 * Phil Coulson: And from this lightning storm, he comes, sports fans. (from clouds, the Bifrost Bridge descends) Oh, yes! Put your hands together, people of New York! For the son of Odin! Avenger! Lord and prince of thunder! (the Bifrost Bridge clears, revealing Thor in Frigga's Gift) THE MIGHTY THOR!!! (crowd cheers loudly; we see female fans dressed as valkyries. Thor enters his position)
 * Spider-Man: (to Thor) If your goal is to make us all jealous by making this super-cool entrance... you were successful.
 * Thor: (laughs) I seem to have make a fine impression for you and your people. Although I do believe they are asking for a bigger display.
 * Ms. Marvel: (hears a roaring engine from behind and far away) Speaking of big... better fasten your seatbelts, gentlemen. Because a monster, this way, comes.

(we see confiscated cars being put in line side-by-side by the police officers, with the convicts watching in horror in a prison television. An inhuman roar is heard, as shirtless fans painted in green are cheering in the streets)
 * Cheering Hulk Fans: (chanting; repeatedly) Hulk! Hulk! Hulk! Hulk! (chanting continues)
 * Robbie Robertson: That's right, sports fans! Coming up next in Group A is... (close-ups reveal a set of monster truck tires and a sticker saying "Smash". We see the last confiscated car placed in front of a green brick wall) the world's greatest smasher! The Green Goliath! The strongest hero there is! Heeee's... the Incredible... (a T-Rex-headed monster truck bursts through the wall, revealing Hulk driving it) HULK!!! (the crowd cheers as Hulk roars triumphantly and smashes the assembled cars with his truck. In prison, the convicts scream in panic and sob like children while their cars are destroyed; one convict even faints in horror. Back in the track, Hulk enters his position)
 * Spider-Man: I know. Our vehicles are 'puny'. Right?
 * Hulk: Nah, your bike and other vehicles are good. (to Thor) Even your sled, Goldilocks. Nice robot goats.

(Thor gestures positively at Hulk, taking his joke as a compliment. Then, red and golden jet planes fly in the sky as a red and yellow F1 race car approaching)
 * Thor, Wolverine and Hulk: (unison) Stark.
 * Robbie Robertson: And here's the next Avenger joining Group A, sports fans! And not just any Avenger! He's the Armored Avenger! The Iron Knight! The CEO of Stark Industries... Tony Stark, the Invincible Iron Man!!

(the crowd cheers loudly as Stark slowly approaches his race car to his position. Spotting three female fans, he dehelmets, and gives them a flirtatious wink. The girls scream glamoured)
 * First Fangirl: WE LOVE YOU, TONY!!
 * Wolverine: Show off.
 * Spider-Man: (as Stark enters his position) You just can't resist, can you?
 * Iron Man: It's part of the show. Don't forget that.
 * Spider-Man: I won't. (sees white, red and blue fireworks blowing up in the sky) And evidently, neither will he.

(the theme song "Captain America March" by Alan Silvestri is heard)
 * Phil Coulson: And last, but not least... it's the greatest of all superheroes on Earth! America's first superhero in history! (close-ups show a motorcycle with U.S.A. flag colors, and Captain America's shield) The one and only! The son of America! The mortal enemy of Hydra! The symbol of freedom! The First Avenger himself... (Captain America arrives in his motorcycle the Captain's Flag) CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!

(the crowd continues cheering. Entering the track, Captain America hits the breaks, slowly approaches his position, and makes a soldier salutation. Mary Jane watches as she also salutes with a smile)
 * Captain America: (to Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel) Ready for the ride, troopers?
 * Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel: (unison; saluting cheerfully) Sir! Yes, sir!

(Hulk and Wolverine also salute, with Thor giving his Asgardian salutation, and Stark giving a thumb up)
 * Iron Man: Fasten your seatbelts, Avengers... (puts on his helmet) It's showtime.

(still standing in her platforms, Mary Jane earns a positive nod from the racers that they are ready)
 * Mary Jane Watson: (materializes a green flag with her nanotech suit) Alright, racers... start your engines.

(cutscene ends, starting the mission "For the Show")

Cutscene 5: "An Unusual Prize"
(Following the "For the Show" mission, cutscene opens with the Group A back in the AvengersLand, and their vehicles being checked on by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Peter / Spider-Man is sharing handshakes with his fellow racers before walking with Mary Jane and Diego. They are met with Gwen / Ghost-Spider)
 * Gwen Stacy: So? How was your race?
 * Peter Parker: Not so bad. Just a little race for the show, as planned. And for the joy of fans...
 * Gwen Stacy: That's great. (while petting Diego) So I guess there's really no need to be too competitive with everybody in this circuit, right? Just the ones in the opposite side?
 * Mary Jane Watson: That's how the Grandmaster's establishing this race. With those villains that the Collector invited to join the Grand Prix, it's clear that it's going to be a Good vs. Evil match all over again.
 * Peter Parker: Do tell. Which, of course, will be more dangerous than we can imagine.
 * Kamala Khan: (off-screen) Hey, everybody.

(others address to her, Rocket and Groot)
 * Gwen Stacy: Were the three of you still practicing after this race?
 * Kamala Khan: Yeah, we were doing fastest laps, until... we found this. (shows them a mysterious silver stone, which Diego smells curiously)
 * Gwen Stacy: And what might that be?
 * Peter Parker: Whatever it is... (scans the fragment with his Vibranium glasses) ...it's pulsing with some sort of cosmic energy. And... (scans showcase the map, which is detecting more fragments) there are more of these around the world. We better find them before someone else does. Just in case. (others nod for agreement before Mary Jane's suit starts beeping a white light in her suit's logo) Another race?
 * Mary Jane Watson: (touches her logo, showcasing a virtual monitor) Same track... but with the next group.
 * Gwen Stacy: (sees the list) I'm on this one. Better get my motorcycle. I'll meet you guys, soon. Wish me luck. (rushes forward, with others waving at her. She runs next to the Group A heroes) Excuse me, gentlemen. (she reaches her vehicles, selecting her motorcycle)
 * Rocket Raccoon: One's excuse for situations like this: the show must go on. Isn't that what you people say?
 * Peter Parker: Yeah. That's the way.
 * Groot: I am Groot.
 * Kamala Khan: Well, let's hope Gwen and her fellow racers will make a good show in this one.
 * Mary Jane Watson: Agreed. (uses her ear communicator to make her public announcement) Group B race is about to begin on Circuit 1 within five minutes. All participants, please choose your vehicles, and present yourselves to your positions prior to that time. (to the heroes) I'll talk to you guys later. Because, like Rocket said: the show must go on. (approaches Peter, and they share a kiss) Do watch yours and others' backs until then, will you? (Peter nods for agreement, as Mary Jane addresses to Diego) And you behave yourself 'til I come back, okay? (Diego licks her as she cuddles him; chuckles softly) That's my big daddy. (kisses Diego's cheek and teleports away)
 * Wolverine: How did she...?
 * Tony Stark: Well, her leotard isn't just some spandex to make her look attractive like Captain Marvel and She-Hulk, you know. It's also nanotech.
 * Captain America: From both Stark Industries and that tech we've confiscated from Kang, I believe...
 * Tony Stark: Sort of. (sees the teens also petting Diego) Also, no further questions asked about her big tiger Diego. Except about "How did she have him?"... well, you might wanna ask Black Panther and the Wakandans...
 * Captain America: No questions asked, at all. (notices Peter, Kamala, Rocket and Groot having an inaudible conversation before moving on) Hmm. Something tells me there's something going on around here. Peter and his friends know that.
 * Tony Stark: And there is. (checks his scans) Just scanned the rock that Kamala, Rocket and Groot found. And according to my scanners, there are more of it scattered across the city.
 * Captain America: Whatever these are, we better find them before someone else, someone untrustworthy, does. Because, who knows what these rocks can do?
 * Thor: Aye.

(they move on, as a mysterious figure is watching them from far away. End of the cutscene)

Cutscene 6: "Unwelcome Guests"
(cutscene opens with Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Wolverine finding and investigating some silver stones, similar to the one found by Kamala / Ms. Marvel. They are met with Maria Hill and some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who are doing the same)
 * Maria Hill: Best we can tell, they're extremely powerful and not from around here. Electromagnetic, neutron, vita radiations, all off the charts.
 * Hulk: (sniffs) No Gamma radiation in them, though.
 * Maria Hill: The artifacts have a bit of an attitude. And seem to be connected to something far more powerful.
 * Iron Man: Something that powerful goes missing, someone always comes looking. We just have to cross our fingers that this someone is an ally.
 * Wolverine: So, what’s the move, Cap?
 * Captain America: Same as always, Logan. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

(suddenly, they hear a rumbling and an inhuman roar)
 * Wolverine: I think the worst just got here.

(they then notice Fin Fang Foom going for a rampage, and Red Skull, Doctor Doom, MODOK, Magneto and Abomination coming)
 * Captain America: They have to be after the fragments. (to Hill) Send in backup. Have them evacuate the city.
 * Maria Hill: Understood. You heard him, men! Move!
 * Captain America: Avengers, ASSEMBLE!

(they charge forward to confront the villains)
 * Maria Hill: (to Stark, about the Avengers and the villains) There's only five of you against these scums and Fin Fang Foom. Model: 3FB is good for use?
 * Iron Man: (seeing Hill and Foom) You sure about this? (Hill nods for yes) Okay, then... (gives Hill a control device) Make him cry.
 * Maria Hill: (smug smile) First in my list. (she teleports away while Stark joins the others. We see Hill in the Model: 3FB the Fin Fang Foombuster, confronting Foom) Now, I'm only gonna say this once, Foom: (bangs the mech's fists) get off my planet! (Foom roars)

(Cutscene ends, starting the "Supervillain Mayhem" mission)

Cutscene 7: "Victory! For Now..."
(following the "Supervillain Mayhem" mission, the defeated villains are breathing exhausted, while Fin Fang Foom is laying in the ground unconscious, pinned down by Hill in the Model: 3FB)
 * MODOK: We are outnumbered! We cannot attack under these conditions!
 * Doctor Doom: (growls angrily) Then, teleport us back to my palace! (stares angrily at the Avengers) Now is not the time.

(MODOK obeys, and begins teleporting the villains one by one, staring with Magneto and Doctor Doom)
 * Abomination: No! I'm not finished with Hulk, yet! I'm not FINISHED!! (charges towards the heroes, but he is teleported away)
 * Red Skull: This is not over yet, Avengers. Next time we meet, you will not be so fortunate! Mark my words...

(he and MODOK vanish, while Hill exits the Fin Fang Foombuster, and approaches the heroes)
 * Maria Hill: Escaped, again. Typical. But at least, the city is safe.
 * Captain America: (notices the collected fragment) For now, that is.

(Odin and some Asgardian soldiers arrive)
 * Odin: (to Thor about Foom) Have we not banished this monster in the Void?
 * Thor: Aye. But it appears that someone has released him from his prison.
 * Iron Man: And whoever that is must be after this. (shows Odin a silver fragment)
 * Odin: Hmm. This relic foreigns me. But I sense it is connected to a mighty warrior. One you might have met before. This venture in the Grandmaster's tournament might prove hazardous if these fragments are involved, Avengers. I suggest you to beware of the worst to come.
 * Thor: My friends and I will, father. This, we assure.
 * Odin: (nods for agreement, and uses his staff's magic on Foom) As for Fin Fang Foom... his fate shall be decided in Asgard. Heimdall, portal! (the Bifrost bridge is opened, sending Odin and the Asgardians along with Foom to Asgard. His voice is then heard in the skies) Best of luck for all of you, Avengers. And I would recommend talking to your young protege and his friends. They must be made aware of the great threat which comes by.
 * Captain America: We give you our word, Odin. They will be. (to himself) Although, I have a feeling they'll already know before we can tell them.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 8: "A Strange Assignment"
(cutscene opens with Peter / Spider-Man and Kamala / Ms. Marvel exiting Shuri's workshop with Hank McCoy / Beast holding a Silver fragment in his hand)
 * Beast: Shuri and I will run some tests with this fragment. We'll contact you when we make progress.
 * Peter Parker: Thanks, doc. We won't take long to come back.
 * Kamala Khan: (seeing footage in her cellphone) Gwen didn't take too long to come back from her assignment, either. She and Group B just finished their race. And got good results about it.
 * Peter Parker: Nice. Next one's for Miles. Very hopefully, he'll do just as good as we did.
 * Kamala Khan: Now, back to these fragments... anyone else we should consult to have answers about them?
 * Peter Parker: Considering the "unworldly nature" doctor McCoy warned us about these fragments, the next person we're talking to might be the one who could give us more answers.
 * Kamala Khan: (seeing a wizard-themed poster) Yeah, I don't even need to ask who that is, do I?
 * Peter Parker: No, you do not.

(later, we see them in front of the Sanctum Sanctorum with Rocket Raccoon and Groot)
 * Rocket Raccoon: You sure 'bout this?
 * Peter Parker: Being the Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange spent years of his career dealing with cosmic threats like he dealt with mystic ones. If someone might know something about these fragments or what's going on, that would be him.
 * Groot: (shrugging; to Rocket) I am Groot.

(Peter approaches the front doors, which open in their own just before he can knock. He and his group enter the main room)
 * Kamala Khan: Does that mean he knows we're here?
 * Doctor Strange: (astral voice) Just as I know why, Kamala Khan. (appears before the four through a sling ring portal)
 * Peter Parker: You found one of those too, didn't you?
 * Doctor Strange: Since they begun falling across the universe. Which happened two months ago.
 * Peter Parker: Two months ago? That was like... the day the Fantastic Four redeemed the Silver Surfer so that he would help stop Galactus.
 * Kamala Khan: Which means... could these fragments be pieces of him?
 * Rocket Raccoon: Or that surfboard he flew in. 'Cause I heard he wasn't that made of silver until Galactus came along.
 * Doctor Strange: The Valkyrie and Namor had similar theories. Yet, there came no clear evidence if it was true or not.
 * Peter Parker: You're right. Last I heard from the Surfer, he seemly sacrificed himself to drag Galactus into the Negative Zone. And no one else, not even the Fantastic Four, ever heard of him again after that.
 * Doctor Strange: (the fragment in his possession starts blurring) Regardless... we must still find our answers. And I think there is a way.

(creates a large circle of mystical runes around himself, Peter, Kamala, Rocket and Groot which begin liking with the fragment. Then, the fragment implodes with light. The heroes find themselves in spirit forms, and out of their physical forms)
 * Kamala Khan: What's... what's happening?!
 * Doctor Strange: You are now in the Astral Dimension. A place where the soul exists apart from the body.
 * Peter Parker: Are we to suppose there are sentient beings within these fragments?
 * Doctor Strange: Yes. (sees silver duplicates of himself, Peter, Kamala, Rocket and Groot) But I fear they will not be easy to bargain with.

(End of the cutscene, cue to the "On a Stranger Frontier" mission)

Cutscene 9: "Empty-handed Again"
(following the "On a Stranger Frontier" mission, the heroes watch as their defeated duplicates are pulled back into the silver fragment. Strange cancels the Astral Dimension, sending his and the heroes' Astral forms back to their bodies)
 * Rocket Raccoon: Whew! I don't think I wanna do that out-of-body experience ever again.
 * Peter Parker: So much for getting the answers we needed.
 * Kamala Khan: And here we are. Empty-handed again.
 * Rocket Raccoon: I admit it. It was worth a shot. Really, it was. I'm not bein' sarcastic.
 * Kamala Khan: Thanks. I think.
 * Groot: (to Strange) I am Groot?
 * Doctor Strange: Right now, there is nothing else we can do about the fragments. Except keeping them safe from those who are greedy to their power.
 * Peter Parker: Supervillains included.
 * Doctor Strange: Yes.

(opens a portal to AvengersLand, and the five cross over)
 * Peter Parker: Weren't you selected for the Grand Prix?
 * Doctor Strange: I was. But not for the races of today.
 * Happy Hogan: Hey, everybody. And, Doctor Strange. I suppose you'd like to hear about your schedules for the competition.
 * Doctor Strange: Just as I'd like to hear if my vehicles are intact. (he moves along)
 * Happy Hogan: I assure you, sir. Not a scratch on them.
 * Rocket Raccoon: So... you kids hanging fine? Groot and I are gonna check-in our vehicles.
 * Peter Parker: Sure. No problem.

(Rocket and Groot give them a good nod, and leave)
 * Kamala Khan: Yeah, I gotta check my vehicles, too. And make sure they're good for the next race. Also heard the Fantastic Four created a racing circuit for the Grand Prix, which I'd like to test, by the way... (to Peter) You're gonna be okay?
 * Peter Parker: Yeah, sure. Just... (notices police officers driving in the streets. He then puts on his Spider-Man mask) ... still on duty. (web-swings to the policemen's direction. He lands on a police car) What's the situation?
 * Police Man: The Sinister Six. They're loose, again.
 * Spider-Man: Ugh. These ogres, again. I'm on my way.

(Spider-Man web-swings forward, as Miles, Gwen, Felicia watch)
 * Miles Morales: What's the emergency?
 * Felicia Hardy: The Sinister Six. Causing trouble, again.
 * Miles Morales: And I thought we'd spend a (puts on his mask) peaceful racing season without these ogres on the way.
 * Gwen Stacy: Especially those who signed up for the competition. (she and Felicia put on their masks) Doc Ock should be disqualified for that. (she and Miles web-swing to Spider-Man's direction with Black Cat swinging with her whip)
 * Spider-Man: (swinging around the city, he starts running in a building's walls while noticing the fragment with him) Not quite sure if there'll be consequences or not. But, if they're after more of this... (uses the fragment to power-up his web-shooters) Then, we're gonna have to fight fire with fire.

Cutscene 10: "A Fantastic Internship"
(Cutscene opens with Kamala / Ms. Marvel visiting the Baxter Building, where she is greeted by Invisible Woman)
 * Invisible Woman: I'm glad you accepted our invitation, Kamala. We were hoping to have a fellow racer to help test this racing track that the Grandmaster ordered.
 * Kamala Khan: Pleasure's all mine, Sue. Always happy to visit the Fantastic Four in their building for the finest occasions.

(we then see Mary Jane with Diego and Dr. Richards / Mister Fantastic descending the building in the elevator)
 * Mister Fantastic: So, I heard Peter and Kamala begun investigating the truth about these silver fragments that came falling on Earth?
 * Mary Jane Watson: And working hard about it. They already consulted Doctor Strange for answers. But still, no evidence of what these fragments are. Or where they came from. You don't think... that these fragments are connected to...?
 * Mister Fantastic: Not sure. I just hope they mean the Silver Surfer is still alive. We haven't seen or heard about him for two months. Since that attack on Sakaar by Galactus. (the elevator reaches the reception floor, and opens the doors) (takes a deep breath) Until then, let's... alleviate our minds with the Grandmaster's contest. And hope for the best.
 * Mary Jane Watson: Otherwise, we might go just as paranoid.

(they meet up with Susan and Kamala, while the Thing and Human Torch bring up Four's racing vehicle the Family Traveler)
 * Human Torch: So, Double M? Whad'ya think of our big boy? Smooth, isn't it?
 * Kamala Khan: (giggles) A masterpiece. Just like the Fantasticar.
 * The Thing: An' every race car an' motorcycle other supes are ridin' in this big show. What 'bout ya, babe? Aren't ya gonna show us yer big boys?
 * Kamala Khan: One of them. My Sloth Baby. (uses her Quantum Band open a teleportation hole)
 * The Thing and Human Torch: (quizzically; unison) Sloth Baby? (from the teleportation hole, comes Kamala's kart the Sloth Baby, and both are impressed) Ooooooh.
 * Invisible Woman: (inspecting the Sloth Baby) Such a beautiful design. I heard from Anya that it was just a regular go-kart until you two upgraded it. Right?
 * Kamala Khan: Yep. With a piece of the Terrigen Crystal that awakened my Inhuman powers six months ago. Of course, I also used my Quantum Band to boost the process.
 * Invisible Woman: Like you just said about mine and my men's Family Traveler: it's a masterpiece.
 * Kamala Khan: Thank you. And, what about Franklin and Valeria? Aren't they gonna feel lonely while you and Dr. Richards are with us in this trip?
 * Invisible Woman: Oh, they'll be fine. Tigra, Hulkling and Wiccan are taking good care of them and of the Power siblings. Giving what they call a cosmic field trip until we're done.
 * Kamala Khan: Oh, that's nice. (the Grandmaster comes, and Kamala puts on her mask) (to Mary Jane) So... we're starting another one, right?
 * Mary Jane Watson: It was supposed to be a test for this track circuit. But I'm sure the Grandmaster will count it as another one.
 * Grandmaster: Indeed, I will, my dear Mary Jane. Let this be another remarkable show of great performance in the Intergalactic Grand Prix!

(Diego roars triumphantly, surprising and amusing Grandmaster, who pets him to Mary Jane's joy. End of the cutscene, cue to the "Fantastic and Magnificent" mission)

Cutscene 11: "Back from a Fantastic Ride"
(following the "Fantastic and Magnificent" mission, Kamala / Ms. Marvel is returning happily to AvengersLand, where she is met with Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel, who greets her gently)
 * Captain Marvel: Back from another wonderful race with your Sloth Baby today, honey?
 * Kamala Khan: You'd call it fantastic.
 * Captain Marvel: (giggles) I'm sure glad you were a big help for the Four in testing their racing circuit. Just like we'll all be to each other against the villains in this Grand Prix.
 * Kamala Khan: I'm having high hopes about it. And... you wouldn't happen to have like... you know...?
 * Captain Marvel: Had any news on the Silver Surfer? I'm afraid not. Nobody had. But I did hear from MJ that you and other heroes are also investigating the truth about these silver fragments that feel on Earth. Didn't get much updates about them either, did you?
 * Kamala Khan: I wish we did. But we're still empty-handed.
 * Captain Marvel: (puts her hand on Kamala's shoulder) I know it's gonna be hard. But don't worry, honey. We'll solve it, together. (Kamala smiles. Then, they see Mister Fantastic speaking with the Grandmaster) Still, like Doctor Richards might've said to MJ, let's try alleviate our minds a little bit, and focus on the show. Don't you agree?
 * Kamala Khan: Yeah, you're right. (referring to both Captain Marvel and Mister Fantastic) You're both right.
 * Captain Marvel: (passionately hugs Kamala) That's a good girl. (Kamala gives a positive nod, and leaves. Then, Captain Marvel looks around) Yeah, Surfer. Wherever you are, I just hope you're alive to tell us all what's going on.

(Captain Marvel hovers towards the Baxter Building. End of the cutscene)

Cutscene 12: "Four Against Six"
(cutscene opens with Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six (consisting of Electro, Lizard, Mysterio, Scorpion, and Rhino) attacking Queens)
 * Doctor Octopus: (using his tracer to seek one of the silver fragments) The artifact of which Doctor Doom informed us about is somewhere in this town. Find it and bring it to me.

(the Six begin scavenging the town, scaring away the citizens)
 * Spider-Man: (stopping Rhino from from harassing innocent bystanders by webbing his horn) Not here, ogre! (pulls Rhino with full force, and sends him flying with a EMP powered uppercut, and throwing him at the Six, knocking them; surprised) Whoa. (the source of his new device is revealed to be the silver fragment in his possession) This fragment sure is useful. And... no consequences for using it. Good, let's keep it that way.
 * Mysterio: (getting up and seeing Spider-Man) Spider-Man?! I thought you said he would be busy with the Grandmaster's contest, Octavius!
 * Doctor Octopus: Unfortunately, he has no other scheduled races for today.
 * Scorpion: Who cares? We can still squash him like a bug he is!
 * Electro: Darn right! Cuz it's six of us, and one of him! (Spider-Man's friends soon join him) (defeated) Oh... never mind.
 * Mysterio: They are still outnumbered! We can still... (pauses, confused) Octavius? (notices Doctor Octopus running away, and Mysterio growls annoyed)
 * Kid Arachnid: So much for team spirit. And leadership spirit for that matter.
 * Spider-Man: Yeah, it's what an evil leader usually thinks: teammates are nothing more than expandable tools.
 * Black Cat: Talk about ego.
 * Ghost-Spider: And a villain's knack for loving himself.
 * Spider-Man: One advantage in this, though. They'll be a bit easier to deal with.

(cutscene ends, starting the "Sinister Foes" mission)

Cutscene 13: "Amazing Friends, Not So Sinister Foes"
(following the "Sinister Foes" mission, Spider-Man and his friends stand over a defeated Doctor Octopus. Electro, Mysterio, Lizard, and Scorpion attempt to attack them, but the young heroes counter and swiftly defeat them; Spider-Man tricks Scorpion into shocking himself with his electric tail, Kid Arachnid absorbs Electro's lightning and shocks him with his Venom Blast ability, Ghost-Spider dodges Mysterio's illusion bolts, blocks his fists with webs, and knocks him out of cold with a flying kick, and Black Cat easily dodges Lizard's attacks, and inserts an Anti-Serrum in his head, reverting him back to Curt Connors. The four are soon tied up in webs)
 * Spider-Man: Doc Ock, Lizard, Scorpion, Mysterio, and Electro. But where's...? (Rhino bursts out of the debris) Oh, there he is.
 * Ghost-Spider: You still got the ice webs, don't you? Please, say yes.
 * Spider-Man: (shows her an ice web fluid in the web shooters) Worked all night on them.
 * Ghost-Spider: (excited) Yes!
 * Rhino: Rhino will squash Spider-People like...! (Black Cat leaps on him, stares at him eye to eye, as her eyes turn cat-like and glow light; confused) What did cat lady do to Rhino?

(Spider-Man shoots an ice web on the ground, encasing the road with ice, and causing Rhino to slip uncontrollably. Electro and Mysterio (realizing what is going on) are dismayed)
 * Electro: Oh, no! Not again!
 * Scorpion: What again?
 * Mysterio: Black Cat just used her power. And Rhino looked at her in the eyes.
 * Scorpion: So? What happens now?
 * Mysterio: Now?! Now, he's cursed! Cursed with...

(Rhino tries not to slip by standing still, until Black Cat and Ghost-Spider skate on the ice at high speed towards Rhino and kick him, causing him to slide uncontrollably towards the tied up villains)
 * Electro and Mysterio: (unison; terrified) BAD LUCK!!!!

(as Rhino continues sliding, Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid leap on him)
 * Kid Arachnid: (points at Rhino's horn, asking Spider-Man to put a web bomb in, which they tie up in webs) Bop. (charges the bomb with Venom Strike with a tip of his finger. Then, Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid leap out of Rhino, and are joined by Ghost-Spider and Black Cat)
 * Spider-Man: (to the villains) Get ready for a lot of stinging! (he and his teammates put a small ramp in front of the sliding Rhino, who is thrown into the air towards the villains, who scream in panic as Rhino collides with them, detonating the web bomb off-screen. We see the villains battered and tangled in webs as the young heroes watch amused) Yeah, Ock. You still got time to change your team's name. Because they're not so 'sinister' like their name says. (he and his friends laugh as Doctor Octopus growls frustrated and furious at Spider-Man's joke)
 * Doctor Doom: (radio voice) Octavius, have you obtained the artifact yet?
 * Doctor Octopus: Unfortunately, no. My idiotic teammates held me back! Incapable as they were of destroying Spider-Man!
 * Doctor Doom: (radio voice) Disappointing. MODOK, retrieve Octavius. We have more matters to discuss.
 * Doctor Octopus: (takes a deep breath) Yes, my liege. (MODOK's teleporters begin extracting Octavius; to Spider-Man) Next time we meet... you and your friends will pay for this humiliation, Spider-Man!

(Doctor Octopus vanishes, as Spider-Man and his friends are met with S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury)
 * Nick Fury: Just as Hill said about you, Spider-Man. You and your gang still have this knack for making your villains a joke for the criminal underworld. Under those conditions, even the so-feared Kingpin would be referred to by everyone as "Clownpin".
 * Spider-Man: I admit it. It's kinda what we do, Fury. To brake their reputation. And make sure people are less afraid of them.
 * Nick Fury: Very strategic. Might as well assume you plan to use this in the Grand Prix as well...
 * Kid Arachnid: Yeah. We maybe do.

(next scene, as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents apprehend the defeated villains, dr. Connors is interrogated about the incident, and Damage Control agents work to fix the damage caused by the Sinister Six, Black Cat sees something sparkling in the wreckage, and uses night vision, which shows her signs of radiation in the debris. She then goes investigate the debris, drawing Spider-Man's attention)
 * Spider-Man: (following Black Cat to the wreckage) Anything down here, Cat?
 * Black Cat: Yep. And it's probably this artifact that Doom sent Ock and his pawns after. Any guesses what it could be?
 * Spider-Man: (removes the debris, and finds out what the artifact is) Surprise, surprise. (the artifact is revealed as another Silver Fragment) Another one.

(scene shifts to Spider-Man and his gang in Shuri's lab, inspecting the fragment with Shuri and Beast)
 * Beast: We ran some tests like we promised to do, including analyzing its molecular structures. Only a shame to tell they do not match the molecular structures of other substances we've seen on Earth.
 * Gwen Stacy: (sees the fragment's molecules with a microscope) Could they be anything like some new sort of nanotech? Or Vibranium?
 * Shuri: Vibranium may have started out as a meteorite which crashed on Earth centuries ago. But it wasn't made of cosmic radiation.
 * Felicia Hardy: Cosmic radiation?
 * Shuri: It's what the scanners detected.
 * Miles Morales: And if there's one guy we know was able to harness cosmic energy... that would be the Silver Surfer. Does that mean... those fragments are pieces of him?
 * Felicia Hardy: I hope it's from his surfboard.
 * Peter Parker: That's something Kamala and Rocket also thought. And what some of the Defenders thought. But, Doctor Strange said there was no clear evidence of that.
 * Gwen Stacy: We can only hope that the Surfer's alive after his fight with Galactus. This mystery about the fragments is making a lot of people nervous.
 * Captain America: (off-screen) Everything okay in there? (comes in)
 * Peter Parker: Yeah, we're just... trying to update ourselves from what we know. (Captain America notices the silver fragment) You and the others found one of those, too?
 * Captain America: (shows a fragment in his possession) After a fight against Doctor Doom and Red Skull. Just in case they might have planned to...

(suddenly, the fragment in his possession and the fragment in the table glow with energy, and levitate in the air. Then, they merge together as a liquid-like fragment)
 * Miles Morales: What... just happened?
 * Captain America: Deep breaths, everyone. This could be the beginning of something even more serious.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 14: "Small Solutions for Big Problems"
(cutscene opens with Iron Man, Thor and Hulk on their way to the Avengers Compound)
 * Iron Man: (contacting Mary Jane) We'll check that out soon, MJ. We're just gonna consult some more teammates who might know what to do about these fragments. That okay for you? Alright, carry on. (ends contact) Spidey and his pals found another fragment in Midtown after a fight against Doc Ock and his Sinister Six. And if I heard it right, this one merged with the one that Cap took to Shuri's workshop.
 * Thor: And regarding my father saying these fragments are connected to a mighty warrior... rumor has it here that they are connected to the Silver Surfer.
 * Hulk: And that they're either pieces of him or his surfboard. But Strange said there was no proof. So who do we talk to?
 * Iron Man: Strange and Dr. McCoy theorized that there are sentient beings within these fragments. Which made me think... if these fragments possess some sort of artificial intelligence in them. And we all know one genius besides me who knows a thing or two about artificial intelligence.
 * Thor: Aye, dr. Hank Pym the Ant-Man.
 * Hulk: Just like when he tried to warn those knuckleheads from Roxxon it was a bad idea to make one using the Mind Stone.
 * Iron Man: The one incident that created... (his suit's systems alert him of imminent danger. Stark looks behind, and sees a horde of robots flying towards the Compound) Ultron. (the robots descend on the Compound, with Ultron following and landing in the ground) Don't tell me that you came looking for these fragments that Doom and Ock were after.
 * Ultron: There is a yes and no for your question, Stark. Yes, I seek the fragments. But I have no interest in sharing their power with Von Doom or Octavius.
 * Iron Man: Oh, yeah... I did forget about that for a while. That you were just after more instruments for your evil plan to destroy all life in the world.
 * Ultron: A plan I will start by disposing off you and your pathetic Avengers.

(he attempts to fire a energy beam at the three, but is suddenly zapped in his visors by electro-beams of yellow light, and attacked by a swarm of new modified robot ants. The attack is revealed to be performed by Ant-Man, who leaps his way around the debris in small sizes, and lands next to the Avengers, growing back to his normal size)
 * Iron Man: Way to make an entrance, Hank.
 * Ant-Man: Nothing too personal, Tony. It was just Jan's idea.

(Janet Van Dyne / Wasp flies towards some robots, and blasts them with her stings. Then, she greets the Avengers while returning to her normal size)
 * Wasp: Just following Mysterio's only good advise, guys. "Regardless of the size of the audience... Always make an entrance."

(Ultron recovers and stares angrily at the Avengers)
 * Ultron: Fascinating. But it will take more than just "entrances" to stop me.
 * Thor: Then more you shall have, robotic demon.

(the Avengers enter their fighting pose. End of the cutscene, cue to the "No Strings on Me" mission)

Cutscene 15: "Aborted Plan"
(following the "No Strings on Me" mission, the Avengers stand in front of a defeated Ultron and in the middle of his destroyed robots, until one of them seizes the Silver fragment from Iron Man)
 * Ultron: An impressive performance, Avengers. But still futile to stop-- (takes the fragment, but suddenly, it begins overloading him) What...?! What is happening to me?! My body is-- (screams painfully, as the fragment overloads Ultron further, blasting him away. Ultron recovers, but with his body nearly jammed; grunts) You have won this time, Avengers. But do not presume you will have the same fortune next time we meet. (takes off, and flies away)
 * Ant-Man: Krieger will have a lot to answer for Ultron's insanity after this.
 * Iron Man: He and Ultron are the least of our worries, Hank. Right now, we've got another issue to deal with.
 * Wasp: Don't say it, we know. It's about these fragments that came falling on Earth two months, right?
 * Hulk: And don't say it, we know. You found one of those too, didn't you?
 * Ant-Man: (picks the fragment up) We've been doing researches and experiments with them. Like you might have theorized, we've detected some sentient particles coursing throught their internal system. Along with amounts of cosmic energy. Which... proved to be too much for even Ultron to handle, by the way.
 * Iron Man: Well... at least, we have one less villain after the fragments. Since Ultron won't be coming after them...
 * Thor: Yet, another major concern: about who else might come after them next.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 16: "A Lethal Feast"
(cutscene opens with Peter / Spider-Man and Miles / Kid Arachnid checking out data about the fragments)
 * Miles Morales: It's definitely got to do something about the Silver Surfer. From what Cap said he heard from Odin, these fragments are connected to someone powerful. Someone who might have landed here on Earth with them.
 * Peter Parker: Assuming that the Surfer survived his battle against Galactus, and left him imprisoned in the Negative Zone. Let's hope it's true. (his phone rings, and he answers in video call) Hi, Aunt May. How are things going there on F.E.A.S.T.?
 * Aunt May: Same as usual, Peter. (scene shifts to Aunt May doing her work on F.E.A.S.T.) Still feeding homeless mouths. Still providing them with a place to stay until they earn new homes. And, thanks to the technology Glory and Shuri shared with us... (sees some F.E.A.S.T. people watching superheroes in a race) allowing them to watch their heroes in the Intergalactic Grand Prix. Speaking of which, how did you and your friends go in your race today?
 * Peter Parker: Pretty good. So did the others. It was, of course, just for the show. But it was really nice.
 * Aunt May: I also heard from Tony that MJ's still doing a fabulous job in the Grand Prix as the flag girl.
 * Peter Parker: Yeah. She most certainly is. Just like Glory, Betty and Sarah. (sees data about F.E.A.S.T.) And data here says F.E.A.S.T. has a new homeless person living in your sector.
 * Aunt May: He calls himself "Mister Redd". But... he doesn't seem to want to show us what he looks like. He came here wearing an awful lot of clothes. And a hat. (cut to Peter and Miles) And a mask.
 * Peter Parker: And, did he say anything else?
 * Aunt May: Not much. He just said... he needs help from a hero. Anyone. Peter, I know you and other heroes are a bit busy with the Grand Prix, but... could you make it here to talk to him for a moment?
 * Peter Parker: Sure. Will be there as soon as I...

(hears people screaming in panic)
 * Aunt May: Ugh. People screaming. I know. That means another supervillain attack, doesn't it?
 * Peter Parker: Yeah. So, in case I don't come to you in five minutes, do you want Kamala, Gwen or Felicia to come see you?
 * Aunt May: Considering that you and Miles will be busy, yes.
 * Peter Parker: Alright, I'll speak to you when we're done.
 * Aunt May: Okay. And be careful.

(Phone call ends, and Peter and Miles put on their masks and go answer to the situation. They see Venom and Carnage having a fight terrorizing the streets)
 * Kid Arachnid: First, Doc Ock and his Sinister Six. And now, Venom and Carnage?! Like what the heck?!
 * Spider-Man: (seeing Venom and Carnage seemingly cooperating in silence) Something's also not right. Venom and Carnage aren't much friendly with one another. They were always rival siblings. (he and Kid Arachnid leap on scene and confront the two Symbiote villains, who are still acting uncharacteristically) Why do I get the feeling that they've been brainwashed? (hears a maniacal laugh) True, because they are.

(the villains' controller, Sauron, appears floating in the air)
 * Sauron: How fitting to have this unexpected encounter with you, Spider-Man. My pets were waiting.
 * Kid Arachnid: So... who's this guy again?
 * Spider-Man: Karl Lykos. Former Oscorp executive who experimented on radioactive pterosaurs, which mutated him into this monster that can absorb metahuman abilities. And hypnotize them.
 * Sauron: Karl Lykos is no more. There is only Sauron!
 * Kid Arachnid: (to Spider-Man) And how come he's able to control Venom and Carnage? Aren't Symbiotes immune to psychic attacks like our Spider-Senses?
 * Sauron: Oh, they are. But, not to this... (shows them a sinister sword) The Necrosword. A weapon of darkness forged by the Symbiotes' long-gone creator himself. A weapon forged to destroy even the mightiest of the Celestials. A weapon which shall grant me the power to bend all to my will!
 * Spider-Man: Not your long, Sauron. With or without this sword in your hands, you're still going down.

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Symbiote Whisper" mission)

Cutscene 17: "The Herald Returns"
(following the "Symbiote Whisper" mission, Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid stand against a defeated Sauron, who attempts to attack them with the Necrosword)
 * Spider-Man: (holding a Silver fragment in his hands) Let's hope it works. (uses the fragment to empower his fist with cosmic energy, and punches the Necrosword's handle, destroying it and freeing Venom and Carnage from Sauron's brainwashing) (chuckles) That worked well.
 * Sauron: (breathes desperately as the Necrosword's shards dissolve into ashes) No! NO!! (stares angrily at Spider-Man) You... will pay for this!
 * Venom: (off-screen) You first!

(Venom and Carnage are shown staring angrily at Sauron, who helplessly crawls away from them)
 * Spider-Man: (Sauron tries to use his powers, but fails) Yeah, I forgot to tell you, Sauron. There are consequences for wielding the Necrosword. I know, Thor advised me about it. Consequences include getting drained of your life-force. Or in your case, your power. (Venom and Carnage slowly and menacingly approach Sauron) My friend and I would like to help you about it, but we've got other things to worry about. So if you don't mind... (swings away)
 * Kid Arachnid: What he said. Toodles. (swings away)
 * Sauron: (to Venom and Carnage) Uhh... can't we talk about this?
 * Carnage: By "this", you mean how we're going to punish you for making us your puppets?
 * Venom: Then, yes! We can "talk about this"!

(Sauron yelps as Venom and Carnage viciously lunge at him. We see a mysterious hooded figure in a building watching as Venom and Carnage maul Sauron off-screen)
 * ???: Such potential in the Necrosword. Wasted in the hands of a foolish mutant Terran. Disappointing. (he soon disappears)

(scene shifts to Peter and Miles at Aunt May's F.E.A.S.T. facility)
 * Miles Morales: That was a close call. But, we worked on it well, right? (Peter nods for yes; about the fragment) Want me to take this to Shuri's lab?
 * Peter Parker: Yeah, can't afford to draw anymore unwanted attention by having this fragment around.

(Miles web-swings away with fragment while Peter reaches the front doors, just as Kamala also arrives)
 * Kamala Khan: Oh, hey. Your aunt May called. She said there was someone named mister Redd wanting to meet a superhero who could help. Isn't that right?
 * Peter Parker: Yeah.
 * Aunt May: (coming by) Just in time, you two. And thank goodness you're alright, Peter. They're here, mister Redd. (mister Redd, a weary man with numerous clothes covering his body appears)
 * Mister Redd: Peter Parker? (Peter nods for yes) Kamala Khan?
 * Kamala Khan: Yes, that's us. Have we... met before?

("Mister Redd" unmasks himself, revealing to be a powerless Silver Surfer)
 * Kamala Khan: (gasps)
 * Peter Parker: Silver Surfer! (he and Kamala rush towards him, helping him walk) Are you alright? What happened to you?
 * Silver Surfer: (grunts) He left me no choice. He left me... (opens his secret box, revealing the Space Infinity Stone) no choice.
 * Mary Jane Watson: (teleports on scene with Diego) Peter? Kamala? Is everything alright in there? Miles said... (sees the powerless Silver Surfer with them; shocked) Oh, my...! Is that...?!

(she approaches the weakened Surfer to comfort him, with Diego licking his hand, as the Surfer pets him. Next scene, Silver Surfer is on a medical bed, being treated by Jane Foster and Sarah Stacy)
 * Jane Foster: His heartbeat is operating normally. He just needs something healthy to feed for now.
 * Sarah Stacy: A little Vitamin C should do the trick. Right?
 * Jane Foster: (nods for yes) Let's try this.

(as Sarah goes get some medicines, Peter, Mary Jane, Kamala are shown talking to Stark, Captain America and Thor)
 * Tony Stark: So, it's true. Those silver stone fragments we found really are pieces of the Silver Surfer's board.
 * Peter Parker: The more we thought about it, the more it made sense. Considering the amounts of cosmic energy our scanners detected...
 * Thor: Still, how has he managed to escape the Negative Zone without Galactus to follow him?
 * Mary Jane Watson: Not too sure, but he was keeping this. (shows them the Space Stone)
 * Thor: The Space Stone.
 * Silver Surfer: Yes, Galactus had taken it for his attempts to fulfill his plan to devour all planets. Including Sakaar. (flashback shows Silver Surfer fighting Galactus; voice over) Until the Fantastic Four convinced me to help stop him. After sending Galactus to the Negative Zone, I confiscated the Stone from him to prevent him from escaping. Even if it left me vulnerable to his last attempt to stop me. (in the flashback, Silver Surfer escapes using the Space Stone, but not before Galactus zaps him with concussive energy from his eyes, destroying the Surfer's board, and scattering its fragments across the universe; flashback ends) I spent the last two months hiding on Earth. Struggling to prevent other hostile forces from finding the Space Stone, and the pieces of my board next. Even if that would cost me my life.

(the Fantastic Four arrive, and are stunned to see the Surfer again)
 * Invisible Woman: Norrin! (approaches Surfer in his bed) We were afraid you were gone...
 * Silver Surfer: I had to take my chances, Susan Storm. Else, Galactus would have finished what he started.
 * Jane Foster: He'll be fine. He just needs to rest until he regains his strength. And until his board is rebuilt.

(Peter notices the fragment in his possession glowing light, and lets it reunite with the merged ones, which are contained in a Vibranium capsule)
 * Glory Grant: Progress. But it needs all fragments reassembled. Until the last one.
 * Peter Parker: It'll be hard, but we'll find them. Whatever it takes.

(the heroes nod determined for agreement. Then, they watch a broadcast bu the Grandmaster)
 * Grandmaster: (in the broadcast) For all heroes watching this broadcast. Congratulations on your performance at the Intergalactic Grand Prix, so far. Let us hope to see more of you until you reach the finals, and earn your prize.
 * Mary Jane Watson: And he still wants you to continue the tournament. Which will be hard.
 * Captain America: Not much. We'll continue the tournament as planned. And search for the fragments doing so. It won't be easy, I know. But it won't be impossible, either. This, we assure you.
 * Kamala Khan: Cap's right. We can do this.

(then, the heroes see their vehicles being taken to Hogan's truck trailers)
 * Captain Marvel: Well, let's just hope we'll find more where we'll go now. Been in touch with Hogan. He said our next base to prepare for the competition will be... (checks files on her wrist device) the Hall of Kings.
 * Kamala Khan: The Hall of Kings?
 * Tony Stark: A super special club that Black Panther created with help from other kings. (sees the file on Captain Marvel's device) And where he wants us to meet him. What do you say?
 * Peter Parker: (others share a "Sure, why not?" look, with Mary Jane holding Peter's hand with a supportive smile) Sounds nice. We're in.
