Plot
In a HYDRA facility located in Siberia, Doctor Octopus is having an argument with Viper Empress over their agents’ past failures at the hands of the New Avengers which only resulted in the young heroes’ team getting stronger every time they progress. Octavius assures her that things will be different when the HYDRA Goblin Project is complete, to which Viper warns him that this is his last chance. Just as HYDRA agents begin their project, the New Avengers (consisting of all members who had joined the team previously), followed by Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Iron Patriot and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Fury, Hill, Coulson and Mockingbird arrive and break in the field and begin their final assault on HYDRA. The event is being observed by the Red Goblin from the Negative Zone as he claims that “HYDRA will yet live.”.

The battle goes on as the Avengers defeat countless waves of Venom-mutated agents and subjects and work their way to free the civilian hostages the Sinister Six captured for Doctor Octopus’ HYDRA Goblin Project. Iron Patriot also works his way well with the mission, although in a more threatening fashion, to which Captain America convinces Spider-Man that Norman must remain in check, because Octavius’ plan may involve driving Norman mad enough to go rogue, to which Spider-Man, regarding HYDRA’s previous attacks with Oscorp technology and the previous incidents of Norman’s Goblin rampage, agrees as Mary Jane also senses that the worse is still coming. Just as the young heroes manage to defeat the Sinister Six, a portal to the Negative Zone opens and Spider-Man and Captain America are confronted by Red Goblin, whom they recognise as the Red Skull.

The duo battles the Goblin while the rest of the heroes escort the hostage subjects to safety. American Son and Iron Man also join the fight while Phoenix Princess and Black Widow continue fighting Viper Empress and Agent Hill and Iron Phoenix discuss about an idea to drive off the HYDRA agents once and for all. Just as Spider-Man and Captain America defeat him, Red Goblin notices Norman in his Iron Patriot armor and takes off to challenge him. Noticing what the Red Skull had become, Doctor Octopus and his teammates assume that HYDRA agents had used them for their own purposes just like Osborn had enslaved Octavius and take their leave, resigning from HYDRA. As he battles and subdues Norman, Red Goblin infamously mocks Norman over his attempts to be a hero being just a deception to hide his shame over his past mistakes enough to Norman activate an serrum within his armor which transforms him into the Green Goblin, to both Harry and Peter’s horror.

As the two Goblins continue battling each other, Peter apologises for Harry over what he could not stop, to which Harry forgives him and claims that he always knew a day like this would have come and chooses to accept that his father is the one who really brought this on, deciding that Norman will not be a part of life anymore. As the battle goes on, Hill and Gwen head to the HYDRA base Control Room and create an Hyperdimensional Portal using a duplicate of the Siege Perilous and, with Stark’s help, they create a portal which vacuums all HYDRA forces, including Red Goblin, Viper Empress, Carnage Strucker and Arnim Zola into the Negative Zone, ending HYDRA’s threat. Spider-Man and American Son also defeat an berserk Green Goblin and use an upgraded version of the Anti-Goblin antidote to permanently cure Norman off his mutation. Back in the Triskelion, the young heroes are residing satisfied over their victory, although Harry is still saddened over what his father brought on. He is consolidated by Peter, Mary Jane and Liz, who assure him that, as long as he still has friends, he still has a better family he can look after. The New Avengers are aware, however, that Norman, having learned of the young heroes’ identities, might plan to threaten their normal lives like the Sinister Six would, but Captain America assures them that as long as he and the Avengers are there, Norman will be stopped. As he leaves, Captain America also assures them that he and the Avengers will be handling Osborn’s next move and suggests Peter for one favor: to keep the family together, to which Peter agrees to do so... whatever it takes.
