About a dozen feet from where Spiderman and others stood a small crackling noise could be heard. And then it started getting louder.
There was a bunch of sparks starting to fly and then with a flash something hit the ground with a crash and sent up a cloud of dust.
As the dust clear a figure stood up. A four and a half meter tall figure stood up. A pair of glowing green eyes marked its head and its white and golden armor shone in the light.
It slowly turned to face the entire group seemingly carefully where it put its feet.
"Patience, Atrocious." came the voice again. "I will not have you setting the forest alight- there are some very valuable specimens in there.
"As for the rest of you- I have chosen each of you for a specific purpose. Perhaps it would be best if we meet in person...
A blue light shimmered in the air in front of the group, a minor but beautiful display of magic. It coalesced and formed into a humanoid shape, approximately eight feet tall. It's skin was a dark navy blue, interspersed with glowing sky-blue lights that pulsated and flickered. His eyes and face, stern but with a kind aura around them- were sunken into his bald head. He wore a simple loincloth and bandolier, but attached to these pieces of fabric were a fantastic array of trinkets and accessories- dreamcatchers, runes, wands, and other strange items, all emanating clear mystical power.
"My name is Moja," he said, as if this would explain everything. "Great things are afoot. Follow me into the forest, and I shall explain as we go."

"I know many things, Dexter," said the voice calmly. "In fact, I have monitored your lives and adventures intensely for the past while... and I have handpicked you all for a specific purpose... something that my kind cannot achieve. [[red: "It will be easier to explain this in person," the voice mused to itself.
With that, a series of red lines, intersecting one another to form a three-dimensional grid, sprang down from the air, tightening and figure appeared, similar in appearance to Moja. This particular individual, though, was bright red, with dark crimson lines etched across his body. Rather than the shamanistic garb of Moja, he wore a series of metallic rings fastened to his body, humming with power as dozens of small mechanical objects and tools orbited them. "I am Mbili," he said simply, and turned to walk towards the meadow. "If you desire to learn more, follow me."

Another godly being who was kidnapping people from across the Multiverse?

Flere-Imsaho wobbled - a Drone shrug - and followed Mbili. There was not much to do, otherwise, and perhaps that strange being could explain why it was Displaces into this weird place.

Dexter gulped hard, and followed the iridescent being.
"Great things, is it?" Shantotto appeared to consider this.
"Very well, I'll listen for a bit." Shantotto started to follow the weirdo.
"But if your plan is not to my liking, you'll find my uncooperation to be rather tiring."

"Er... I wouldn't call myself a superhero... But I know you. You're Spider-Man. You were one of the founders of what I do... I thought you left for America years ago, though. What are you doing here?"

Dexter drew closer. "Did you say...superhero?"

"It's quite simple really..."
In a flash of white-green light, the ferret was replaced by a small blonde-haired boy in a green hooded sweatshirt and brown shorts.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
"...Whu!?" Lyna jumped to attention and performed a perfect 180 degree pivot as soon as she heard the booming voice... Before falling flat on her butt.
"Owies... Umm... Hey, Happy... Were those people always there?" She asked her familiar, who merely shrugged its wings in response. "Um... Hey, wait for me, uh, Mojo! And, uh... All you other guys!" she blurted out, scrambling towards the others, tripping up more than a few times as she rushed across the sand.
"Ah, that makes sense." Koragg said as he saw the boy. He then saw the blue man and recognized his voice from the same one that denied that Imperious was involved. "Very well. Lead the way, Moja. Though I will want an explanation of where we are." Koragg said.
Screw the Lion!
Atrocitus growled at Moja, angered that they all had to go for a nature hike before they can get any answers. In fact: "Is it TRULY necessary to lead us into this blasted forest before we can get any straight answers!!" the Red Lantern roared as he followed. "If at the end of this trail you STILL do not relinquish any information, whatever gods you worship will spend an ETERNITY sewing you back together when you reach the afterlife!!!"
Everyone around Atrocitus could feel the temperature spiking considerably around him. As well as their tempers on a much subtler scale.....

Quote stood a little apart from the group, mostly unnoticed. He wasn't precisely surprised when another person (robot?) appeared, along with an orb... and their patron. He wasn't quite sure to think of that. A being with equal or greater power to the wielder of the demon crown? Wanting to change the multiverse? Handpicking a group of individuals for a specific purpose? Quote was just a scout robot, this was a bit heavy for him.
Still, he was, by nature, curious. He followed the being (avatar?) to where ever he was being led.

Boss! Boss! Da sky is talking!!!
Shaddap, ya grot! I'z workin'!
Working on wut, boss?

But it don't look like a 'cron, boss.
-The mekboss sighs with the weariness of the wise speaking to the foolish before sending his apprentice bowling with a gentle backhanded slap.-
It'z 'cuz it's a new kind, roight? Like them weird skin-wearing ones. Dey'z different, and we'z gonna find out why!
Okay boss, but wut about da talking sky?
Is you an git or wot? If a sky's making noise, den put dakka innit 'till it shuts up!
Can do, boss!
-The air buzzes with shrill cries, gunshots, and grunts of effort as the gretchin hurl rocks skyward, followed by more cries as the rocks land on their senders. Meanwhile, Bigrench approaches the group of heteroclite creatures, boomstikk ready.-

"That's a pretty long name." Sky heard Sprant before he asked. "Mind if I call you Sprant?"

"My Full Name is indeed long," said Flere-Imasho. "I am usually addressed as Flere-Imsaho, which is my given name."

Robotboy remained silent despite the strange things happening around him, trying to avoid being noticed. The strange red man seemed to know what was going on, so it only made sense to do what follow him.
Krika looked at the being in blue with obvious alarm.
Interdimensional travel has been well known to me but.....
Krika tapped the ground.
This is something quite out of my league perhaps, there is not a single speck of prodertimis here.
After the blue being beckoned, Krika drifted after it: It was the safest thing to do.

After Atrocitus' outburst, Lyna decided that it would probably be better to stick around the back of the group, away from the angry red person. However, she still wanted to get to wherever Moja was taking them as quickly as possible, and found herself stumbling as the two conflicting thoughts clashed with each other.
"So, um..." she asked the group in general, between stumbles. "Uh... What's, uh, going on here? Any idea where we, um, are? Anyone?"
Sherlock pulls out his cell phone. Hmm... No signal, at least not yer... He kneels down and starts examines the ground around his feet. He lifts some sand up, and watches as it falls from his hands. Standing up, he looks out into the distance, following the ocean as it curves upward. Finally, he turns to examine the mishmash of strange people standing nearby. He approaches them, his hands in his pockets.
I'm Back Bitches (not really)
Spider-Man stares at Mibil. "How many of you crossdimensional beings are there?!"
He then turns to Eiji. "Which country are you from?"
Lastly he goes to Sec. "OK his name sounds better than Fawful but I don't know him."

"A pleasure to meet you then Flere." Sky said before he introduced himself.
"I'm Sky Tate of the Space Patrol Delta's Earth Branch. I'm an officer cadet at the moment, but I've been forced to be deployed on the field in order to stop an invading alien army called the Troobian Empire."

"Japan, Mr. Spider-Man. Do you not remember the Gorangers? Or Kamen Rider? They worked alongside you, occasionally even with you, saving the country from evil."

Kribnefka sighed, rubbing his temples. This was going to seriously cut into his time granting miracles to the good.
"Look, if whyever you brought us here is that important, couldn't you just use your "snatch things from other planes" thing to grab some alternate versions of yourself?"
...and that's terrible.
