Devaki Drive [Mass Effect / Spiderverse Quest]

Travelling dimensions isn't a simple thing. You thought you had it handled. Reverse the polarity, jam the goober in, send all the Spiders home. Take the leap, beat the bad guy, and always get back up. That's how it works. That's how it should have gone. That's how it did go, in countless infinities. Too bad this isn't one of them.

But let's go over this, just in case.

Spiderman - or in this case, five Spidermen - get the Goober, infiltrate the supervillains lair, and are right on the cusp of fixing their problems. It turns out to be a trap, but through skill and living up to heroic ideals, they defeat the bad guys and switch the machine on - in a way that won't destroy all of reality, that is. Here's where things change, though. Not majorly - everybody jumps in the portal, personal issues have gotten the shock treatment of life-or-death, tearful farewells are had. The multiverse is saved. But not every Spider got to go home. Not this time.

They took that leap of faith, and instead of catching air and soaring, they slammed into the dirt. Face. First. But like any good Spider, they get back up. But instead of finding themselves back home, or in a giant Super Collider, they see something entirely different. A new dimension. A new world. And what new world is this, might you ask?

Well that one is simple.

The new world is war.

When you pick yourself up, you're expecting a supervillain, New York, even the Super Collider again. Maybe you missed the portal somehow, and you're still in that eye-bending space/time-warping mess of realities being mashed together.

Instead, you're on top of a building. Unfortunately, it seems to be collapsing.

The entire structure is collapsing beneath you, tipping over and about to crash directly into the next building over. You sprint for the edge, hopping off and twisting in the air, taking in a million details in an instant.

- Hovering tanks, racing through streets like race cars -

- Giant insect creatures, like walking artillery, swarming by the hundreds -

- Barricades of light and steel, manned by figures in full-body armor, some wreathed in blue light and others bearing horns and small arms -

- an alien sky, ships titanic machines blasting eachother apart to the backdrop of a gas giant that takes up the entire horizon -

- and beneath you, dozens of people and creatures scrambling for safety -

- and then, knowing only that you've somehow entered a warzone, you do the only thing you can do.

The only thing that Spiderman could do.

You save the day.

But let's back up a moment here, 'cause there's still one very important question. You're Spider-Man, nobody can take that from you. But as you've learned the past few days - there's more than one Spider-Man. Which one are you?
