Spider-Man sets out from dimensions to Counter Vale, a futuristic counterpart of the fallen Vale where Bestials are first class citizens and human and Faunus alike are dismissed as second class citizens. Spider-Man and his team join with a resistanc...
Days later... Spider-Man and his team woke up. Nightingale asked, "Ugh, where are we? We remember the crash..." Venus looked around and asked, "Where's the Green Goblin?" Then Lady Vermin came up to Spider-Man and replied, "The Green Goblin managed to get away. But I'm satisfied with what we've caught~" Venus gritted, "You stay away from him, you buck-toothed rodent!" Lady Vermin frowned, "Oh, I almost forgot. The pussy cat claiming to be Spider-Man's lover." Venus hissed, "You take that back!" Sir Ram came in with lab clothes and went to Lady Vermin. He ordered, "Enough." Spider-Man chuckled nervously, "You know, in another context the idea of a goat-man dressed like a doctor might be amusing." Lady Vermin giggled as Sir Ram lectured, "I would curb my ardor were I you, Lady Vermin." Lord Tyger looked at Team SVRN in their bindings as he agreed, "Aye, Sir Ram. But be he human or Bestial, tis certain that he is a valiant warrior." Lady Ursula crossed her arms as the High Evolutionary's face appeared on a rather large screen and demanded, "Why are these four in my domain?!" Sir Ram answered, "Apologies, excellency. They stowed away with the Atlesian colonel." The High Evolutionary looked at Spider-Man as he asked, "Why are you here? For revenge? Surely you could have seen it was futile." Ricochet retorted, "Actually, we're here for a much more bigger reason than you!" Venus turned to him and whispered, "Shut up!"
The High Evolutionary nodded in understanding as he said, "I see. Like yourselves, I came here on a quest. I sought utopia. An unspoiled paradise free from the petty squabbles that have plagued my existence. But instead of the new Eden I sought, I found only the same. Diseases I have tried to escape. Greed, selfishness, violence, hatred. Human diseases. At last I came to a fateful realization. To have my paradise I would have to build it myself. It has taken decades, countless experiments, countless failures, but at last my perfect society nears completion." Images of Bestials living like citizens in the dome city with tall skyscrapers and flying cars and trucks were shown to Team SVRN and the Knights. "Look upon my works, Spider-Man," introduced the High Evolutionary. "Great cities, spires of glorious technology rising into the sky. Populated by these noblest of creatures. My Bestials. My new men. Stronger, faster, free of the weaknesses of the primitive human mind. Every brick, every circuit, every cell exists here by the grace of my hand. Except, of course, for you, Spider-Man and your team. You are unpredictable. Uncontrolled variables introduced into my grand experiment. And that is something I simply cannot allow."
Team SVRN struggled in their bonds as Sir Ram held up a surgical buzzsaw. Lord Tyger frowned with disappointment as he thought, 'Our foes' actions have been consistently noble and courageous. Would it were possible to say the same of our own.' Finally Team SVRN broke out of their bonds as Ricochet threw a disc at Lady Ursula and Nightingale shot a mystical arrow toward Lord Tyger who ducked from it. Spider-Man started to swing away with Venus speeding next to him while Ricochet carried Nightingale and leaping acrobatically. Team SVRN burst through a door and began escaping as Spider-Man quipped, "The name's not Guinea Pig-Man. It's Spider-Man!" The High Evolutionary ordered, "Stop him, my Knights! They must not escape alive!" The Knights of Wundagore quickly started to chase after them. Lady Ursula and Lady Vermin started blasting at them as Venus twirled her energized whip to shield her teammates from the blasts. Then she ran to join her team in their escape.
They finally got out of Alchemax as they met up with a red-haired woman, a blonde-haired man, and a living mummy with a trench coat on the roof.

"You must be Spider-Man," said the woman. "We were sent here to rescue you." Spider-Man asked, "Yeah? Well, right now would be a good time for it." The Knights of Wundagore were on their way to them. Team SVRN and the woman ran for cover as the man replied in a British accent, "Don't give us any grief, old son. We're risking our necks here. Gratitude might be nice." The man joined them as Ricochet stated, "Looks like it might be time for Plan B, guys." Nightingale asked, "Do you have a Plan B?" The man chuckled, "No worries. This oughta take the wind out of their sails." He took out a small bomb and lit it by flicking his fingers. Then the man threw it over the Knights' heads and into Alchemax. "It's Bromley!" alerted Lord Tyger. "Take cover!" The Knights instantly took cover while the seven ran to a red flying pickup truck and they flew off away as a part of Alchemax exploded. The woman berated, "I said a mild explosion, Bromley. Is that what you call a mild explosion?" Bromley answered, "Well, compared to what else I could do." The woman reminded, "And I said leave plenty of time to get away." Bromley replied, "Current, love. We had eight point seven seconds to spare. You're losing your sense of drama, darling." Then they noticed the Knights of Wundagore were flying after them while blasting them. Spider-Man quickly made a web shield as the Knights of Wundagore chased after them.
