~Peter~

In the bathroom, the wallcrawler stared at the spirit of Summer as her gaze remained on the floor.

"Ruby and Yang's mother?" Peter asked.

"Yes. Every time Ruby visited my tombstone, it hurt my heart and made me happy to hear her stories. Recently, she told me about the friends she made, and you." Summer said as she looked up, silver eyes meeting with curious brown.

"If you're dead, then how are you here?" Peter asked.

"It's fuzzy to remember. But I remember visiting Ruby as she told me about her recent adventure with Yang when a purple blueish portal appeared and seemingly pulled me into it. I remember seeing purple before I collided with you as we were spat onto that building." Summer explained.

"Its not the first time I've seen or heard of this. If there was a Doctor Strange of this universe, though I highly doubt it, we could talk to him/her about this situation." Peter offered.

"I didn't think about that, but it would be great of I could talk to my children and tell them how proud I am." Summer replied.

Peter looked at the mother as she held a hopeful glint in her eyes as she awaited his answer.

"I've dealt with you since I came here, I think I can handle your idiocy a little bit longer." Peter replied, a smirk on his face as Summer grinned happily.

"Thank you Peter." She said as tears began to form before someone banged on the door.

"I know you're not talking to yourself Peter." Terry said from behind the door.

Peter froze as Summer smirked and chuckled as the wall crawler began to create an excuse.

"Uh, just looking for my comb!!" Peter shouted as Summer looked on in amusement.

"It's not funny." Peter retorted before opening to door to see his team, Ruby and Blake.

"C'mon slowpoke, we're gonna miss Penny, Weiss, and Yang, then it's you and Aaron." Ruby said.

"She's right, if you're done talking to yourself then let's go Pete." Blake said as the six began to leave.

~Coliseum~

The first scene Peter sees as they enter the Amity Colosseum's mountain biome being bombarded by several explosions all around the area. Russel Thrushdaggers in hand, is running from the mayhem before spinning around, ready to face his opponents, who turns out to be the familiar face of Penny Polendina and her beret-wearing teammate. With an ever-present smile and simple arm movements, she summons six floating swords from behind her and rears them back before launching them in a ring at Russel, who barely manages to duck behind a rock to protect himself.

Wasting no time, Penny does the same thing with another group of blades, homing in on the other CRDL teammate Sky Lark until he uses his own halberd to vault over another stone for defense. The two exchange a worried look at the sight of their rocks still pierced with multiple blades, and Penny grins in combat-ready fierceness as she looks to her partner, who simply taps her watch as if hurrying Penny up. Wasting no time, Penny raises her hands like a puppetmaster and uses the near-invisible strings attached to each hilt to lift the giant rocks up in the air, with the screaming Russel and Sky still hanging on. Bringing her arms down to her sides, the stones come crashing to the ground as well, leaving Penny's opponents in the grass. Her swords come back to her pack as the buzzer rings.
