//------------------------------// // Spider Mare v.s. Electro // Story: The Amazing Spider Mare: The Symbiote Saga // by SuperPinkBrony12 //------------------------------// It took a little bit of intimidation, but Spider Mare managed to extract the necessary information about Electro. Sure enough, as she climbed to the top of the same bank she'd been inside of just a short time ago, there was Electro. Electro was clearly a stallion, but what kind of stallion he was could not be determined. That was because he wore a dark green suit with yellow gloves, and a similarly colored mask in the shape of a five sided star. Each side was a zig zagging lightning bolt shape. The only thing that could be seen through the suit, was what looked like light-blue electrical waves. Electro had just finished inserting what appeared to be a small ruby into his suit, when he became aware of Spider Mare's presence. "Ah, so you actually decided to show up," Electro snarled, as he glared at Spider Mare. "And it seems those two good for nothing dunderheads were telling the truth, you do have a new suit." "And you must be Electro, I suppose," Spider Mare replied. "Funny, you're a lot more puny than I thought you'd be." "And you're a lot stronger than I thought," Electro commented. "I'm a tad bit surprised you were able to defeat The Mane-iac and The Scorpion so effortlessly, when they used to give you so much trouble. But you're still no match for me!" "That's what they all say! But sooner or later, they all fall." Spider Mare said seriously. "We'll just see about that, Spider Mare!" Electro replied ominously. "Now you face the master of electricity! Beg for mercy!" "I won't need to beg for mercy!" Spider Mare told Electro, as she swung forward and threw a punch right into Electro's chest. Much to Spider Mare's surprise, she received a nasty electrical shock while Electro appeared to be unharmed. "Painful, isn't it?" Electro laughed, as he kicked Spider Mare away without effort. "This suit isn't just a fashion statement, I modified it to increase my electrical powers! You can't hit me without getting several volts worth of electricity, and that jewel I put into the suit has made me even stronger! So you can consider this, check mate! I have more power than I know what to do with, and I think I'll put it to good use by frying you here and now!" But Spider Mare simply shook her head. "That's not what real power is, Electro. Real power comes from within." "Don't lecture me about power! If there's one thing I have plenty of, it's power!" Electro boasted, firing off a bolt of electricity at Spider Mare, who barely dodged it. "With my power I can turn off street lamps, disable radios, ground airships, and plunge entire cities into darkness! Now, neal before your master and soon to be king!" "King? You? Don't make me laugh." Spider Mare snorted. "Oh, but I will be king!" Electro vowed, shooting more bolts of electricity towards Spider Mare. "Once the princesses see what I'm capable of, they'll have no choice but to yield to me! And if they refuse, I'll just hold this city as a barging chip! Now, hold still, so I can put you out of your misery!" "Why don't you put me out of my mystery?!" Spider Mare asked, narrowly dodging bolt after bolt of electricity. "Who are you?!" "You need only know me as Electro, my real identity is not important!" Electro snapped, punching Spider Mare hard and sending her flying backwards across the roof top. "But if you'd like to take off your mask, be my guest. I would love to go down in history as the only one to unmask Spider Mare, in addition to the only one who was able to defeat Spider Mare!" "Sorry, I make it a habit not to take my mask off around strangers!" Spider Mare teased. "Then get ready to die!" Electro bellowed, throwing an electrified punch. Spider Mare barely dodged said punch, only to find that she was leaning on the edge of the rooftop! "I need to find a way to turn the tide in my favor," Spider Mare thought to herself, then she eyed something on a nearby rooftop. "That might work." she thought to herself, and began to make a plan. "Oh my, what is this?" Electro laughed wickedly. "Looks like you're at the end of your rope, Spider Mare." "Not quite," Spider Mare smirked. "I think a little change of scenery is in order." Dodging another punch from Electro, Spider Mare leaped off the rooftop, and quickly shot out a stream of webbing. In a matter of seconds, she was able to swing herself from the bank roof to the roof of a neighboring apartment. Electro, followed after her. "Foolish choice, Spider Mare," Electro taunted. "I don't know why you'd want your defeat to be here, but it doesn't matter. This ends now!" "We'll just see about that, Electro!" Spider Mare replied, as she raced towards Electro. Electro paired to throw a punch, only for Spider Mare to jump and swing over him. Before he had a chance to realize what was going on, Electro found himself being webbed up by Spider Mare. "Now that you're all tied up, I think it's time for a little reunion with your so called 'pals' in prison," Spider Mare snickered. "Something tells me they won't exactly be pleased to see you. A pity I won't be around to see how that cage match turns out." "Insolent web slinger, your flimsy webs won't stop me!" Electro shouted, melting away the webs with electric sparks. Surprisingly, Electro seemed to be completely immune to the massive amounts of electricity he was generating. While Spider Mare was forced to take cover behind a nearby water tower. "Darn it, I knew it was too easy! Looks like I'm gonna have to go with Plan B, I just hope it works." Spider Mare thought anxiously to herself. Meanwhile, the now freed Electro was growing impatient. He was shooting off bolts of electricity in every direction, all the while shouting "Where are you, Spider Mare?! I know you're here somewhere, you couldn't have turned tail and run off! Show yourself and face your destruction with dignity!" "I'm right here, Electro!" Spider Mare cried out, perching herself on the front of the water tower. "But you know, with that accuracy, I'll bet you couldn't even hit the broadside of a barn!" That remark made Electro furious, and without thinking he hurled a massive blast of electric energy at Spider Mare! "TIME TO DIE, SPIDER MARE!" he shouted! Spider Mare jumped out of the way of the oncoming blast, as it struck the front of the water tower and exploded with a loud boom! When the smoke cleared, water began to pour out of the hole the blast had created. "He fell for it, now's my chance!" Spider Mare thought. Reacting quickly, she swung around so that she was behind Electro. Then, she fired a ball of webbing at Electro, sending the super villain into the water. "You fool!" Electro remarked. "Don't you know water and electricity don't mix?" "Oh, I know that. In fact, I'm counting on it!" Spider Mare smirked, and sure enough Electro's suit began to short circuit as water washed over it. As Electro tried to escape from the gushing water and reach a dry place, Spider Mare spotted what looked like a small hatch just above the chest area. "What do we have here?" she asked, as she used her webbing to open the hatch door, revealing a bright and shiny ruby. "No! Not my jewel!" Electro pleaded. "I need that jewel!" "Sorry, but I don't see your name written on it," Spider Mare replied, as she tossed the ruby into the air and then caught it with her webbing before Electro could snatch it. "I hate to do this to such a fine piece of jewelry but-" Spider Mare proceeded to crush the ruby into tiny pieces right before Electro's eyes. "You shouldn't have done that, Spider Mare!" Electro gasped, as his mouth dropped open in shock. "Now I'm going to make you pay! Pay with your life!" But unfortunately, with his suit now thoroughly soaked with water, Electro was unable to do much of anything. He couldn't channel his energy into any part of it, it was completely useless. "Looks like you're all washed up, Electro!" Spider Mare replied, kicking the now weakened super villain hard in the chest. "And it's time to shut you down!" The kick sent Electro flying across the roof, and much to his horror he began to slide off it due to how slippery it was (thanks to the water). However, right as he was about to plummet off the edge, Electro found himself being wrapped up in Spider Mare's webbing. Only this time, he lacked the ability to escape it. "Well, that was fairly satisfying," Spider Mare remarked, as she approached Electro. What she said next made the super villain's fur crawl. "But I find there's no more enjoyment to be had, so I'm putting an end to this, permanently!" "Wait?! What are you doing?! They say you don't kill!" Electro squirmed. "Please, I'll do anything! Spare me, I beg of you!" "And why should I?" Spider Mare asked angrily. "Scum like you will just break out and cause trouble again, leaving it up to me to put you away! I'm tired of it! You are far too dangerous to live, Electro!" "But! But!" Electro stuttered, squirming helplessly about it. "It's time for you to say good bye!" Spider Mare vowed, as her hoof seemed to take on a claw like shape. But just then, Spider Mare seemed to freeze, as if she were having second thoughts about her course of action. Then, in the distance, a large clock tower struck the hour. The noise echoed through the streets of Manehattan, and to Spider Mare it sounded as if someone had amplified the intensity of the bongs by at least ten times. Her suit seemed to almost come apart, as the clock continued to ring. "What is happening?! That noise, why is it driving me so crazy?!" At last, the noise stopped. Spider Mare shook her head, and her hoof returned to normal. "What have I done?!" she asked herself, as she quickly swung off of the roof top, leaving the tangled up Electro behind. "I almost broke my biggest rule back there! I can't let it happen again! I won't let it happen again!" she thought to herself, as she set off for home to clear her head. Even though she knew who would be waiting for her.
