This story is a sequel to Ultimate Spiders and Magic: Episode I "New Beginnings"
In spite of taking down the Mighty Vulture, the people of Canterlot City can't help but distrust the new hero in town. Sadly, Peter's personal life shares similar struggles as he can't seem to blend in with anyone at Canterlot High during the Musical Showcase. However, things seem to escalate once three girls start causing trouble for Spidey and Parker.
It's just another day in the life of a rookie superhero.

Yo!!! This is noice!! Seeing Sunset have a crush on Peter is cute~
Sweet! Another Spidey story, in Rainbow Rocks!
Poor Peter, still trying to fit in.
With Trixie rejecting his help in the Musical Showcase, his first meeting with the Rainbooms was awkward, and everyone hated him as Spider-Man... no thanks to a certain Tiara-wearing girl and her uncle! 
At least Sunset likes him.
And the Dazzlings... I don't know what they're planning involving Spidey, but something tells me that it wasn't anything good!
Can't wait for the next chapter!
"In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually, they will hate you." _The Green Goblin, Spider-Man (2002)
Spider-Man's story continues into an adaption of the Rainbow Rocks storyline, and his luck is already sinking lower. The whole town views Spider-Man as a menace, no thanks to Jameson and Diamond Tiara's public slandering tightening the noose on Spidey's reputation. And it looks like the Dazzlings are going to take advantage of this opportunity. The more the people hate Spider-Man, the more the negativity exhausting from them will be drained.
Not even Parker's luck is going up. His singing harshly criticised by Trixie in preparation for the upcoming musical event and he has made an awkward first impression with Sunset's friends, the Rainbooms (Mane 5). Heck, he hasn't even hung out with Sunset long enough to get to fully know her nor does he know about her past deeds along with the "Raging She-Demon" incident. Well sooner or later, he'll find out one way or the other by himself or straight from the horse's mouth (or in this case, pony transformed into a human's mouth).
Well I mean it's not like anyone was expecting him to be a singing Spider-Man performing dances and dangerous stunts in a musical titled "Turn Off The Dark".
Will there be a good Venom just in case since there will be many things that will happn in the many fanfics of this series. But I’m guessing not, but if there was a good Venom, maybe in Friend ship games where Venom gets a ride from Harry Osborn aka the new Green Gob, and try to help Pete with either Midnight or some villain else.

Sunset does remind me of both the movie version of zendaya mj and the ps4 mj
Ah, Parker Luck, you sick sonnuva--
11087275
Yeah. She does. I like that
Well now, this will almost certainly end well. And by end well, I mean in disaster. But it wouldn't be Peter if it didn't, so I'm going to enjoy the ride.
Awesome, eager to see more of the main MLP cast, and see how well Peter interacts with then this time around. Also it looks like The Dazzlings have made their entrance as well, should be interesting.
Great just great. With JJJ and Diamond Tiara stirring up trouble and the old Parker Luck these three will have an easier time. I hope at least Sonata and Aria will switch sides.
Oh boy, they're gonna be feeding off of Spider-Man for all eternity. And Jameson and Diamond are the forever meals.
Honestly I could see the Dazzlings become good guys and keep their powers just like Spitfire. Seriously it seems that you're setting it up that at least Aria knows that Adagio is not the one to lead them. I think if by the end of this story the three of them especially Adagio become friends with Peter / Spider-Man they could turn to the side of good or at least become antiheroes on par with modern Venom
Also I still see Sunset as a Ghost Rider type character I mean it's canon that she can drive a motorcycle owns a motorcycle and her demon form had a particularly fiery motif just like her angelic form so I can definitely see her being apprentice to someone like Johnny Blaze (he holds Zarathos the angel of Justice as his demon of vengeance because Zarathos fell)
I'm actually surprised that Wong and Strange have not tried to get in contact with the magic users of the town, I mean seriously a town with a multi-dimensional portal! Of course they should have a sanctum sanctorum there! I mean if you don't include at least one of the Masters of the mystical arts showing up in Canterlot it's just a massive missed opportunity (honestly I could see Zecora be in undercover agent for the masters of the mystical arts)
I agree With Tempest_Flare, I've been following this story since the first one, and I was hooked. But he does make some valid points about the Dazzlings and Sunset.
11088424
I hope that's what you have planned Maximus, because that would be so awesome, in the immortal words of Rainbow Dash
Please be with Trixie!!!! XD I've been hoping for this for awhile.
I am surprised that Peter’ Spider Sensetm hasn’t been flaring up around those three. Then again he is very down in the dumps.
11089034
If we're being honest, that's not how the Spidey Sense would or should work. It only works for imminent danger that will bring physical harm to Peter in the next few seconds.
So since Peter mentioned Eddie once more. Will there be the movie version of the Lethal Protector since he wouldn’t hurt his friend bc Pete ain’t at the Bugle anymore and since maybe it could sorta be 2018 Venom, silly and a bit goofy. Maybe he can appear in the Friendship games but then Lasher comes up and tries to kill Venom for abandoning Knulls mission to conquer Earth. While Pete is trying to help Midnight bring her to the light again. So maybe…?
11089039
He is still young. I was probably thinking of in the comics where he has used it to help track villains or when he knew something was up with JJJ because anytime Peter was near him the Spider Sense would go off. Turned out it was the Chamaeleon and he was impersonating JJJ.
11089058
That was a one-time thing that wasn't used again afterwards (if it was, then it was a long-ass time after) where Peter was somehow able to use his Spidey Sense to intercept radio waves to track down Doctor Doom.
Peter just can't catch a break. Now that the Dazzlings have moved into the school and ignited the Battle of the Bands, things are really going to get hectic from here on out. especially since they now know that Peter is Spider-Man.
But at least he has found comfort with Sunset who has finally opened up to him about her past mistakes and was totally understanding of her as he should be since he himself knows the feeling when his irresponsibility has costed him big time and that he has to live with that. Heck he even stood up to Flash to get him to lay off Sunset and showed self-restraint when he could've just easily beaten him using his spider powers, but he chose not to because it wouldn't be the responsible thing to do. Just goes to show that even if the whole world goes against him, he'll always find the will and strength to do the right thing in the end.
So Eddie Brock is Peter's other best friend besides Harry Osborn, his bro even, in this reality like how he once was in Spectacular Spider-Man and the Ultimate Comics. Makes me wonder if any possible future Black Suit/Venom origin will be either based on the original alien symibote or the Ultimate version that was a biological suit created by Peter and Eddie's fathers.

EEEEDDDIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE.
And the plot thickens.
Dude..Peter was about ready to break Flashes neck. Glad he held back.
Interesting idea,
Is trixie like Ned Leeds? Or the Betty Brant?
keep up the story!!!
and good work!
Okay so far I'm guessing that Sunset is gonna be the new Marry Jane in this universe. At least I hope she's MJ and not Gowen, don't need to see my girl falling off a bridge. And is Flash Sentry just not in this universe here? I guess that keeps things from being too confusing with Thompson hanging around. Also Dash Rarity chill the fuck out on Pete, he's just awkward not dangerous.
11089039
Actually it works based on both immediate as well as potential danger. He won't know automatically what the threat is unless he really focuses. He kinda has to "listen" to the tingles sorta like morse code to discern what it is based on its intensity/proximity. Technically speaking the sense never really shuts up. He just sorta tunes it out unless it's something that REALLY refuses to be ignored. It's sorta like having super hearing. Potentially able to hear everything, but only the things you want to focus on. Normal humans do it all the time when we filter out useless information input until it's brought up (like the fact that most people don't notice their own nose between their eyes because of how distracting it would seem once you pay attention to it)
11089084
It's actually been used alot afterwards. Maybe not so much in that era, but still alot since then. And the thing about Doctor Doom using Radio waves to contact spider-man, That's just the same frequency Peter uses whenever he relies on his iconic spider tracers. So really there is no contradiction to the canon.
11090021
Funnily enough, evil Sunset Shimmer would've fit perfectly with how Gwen Stacey was like in the Stan Lee run of the comics, in which Gwen was the stereotypical Queen Bee Bitch in college, and the fandom's portrayal of Vinyl Scratch if she was more carefree and sensual would be MJ in the Stan Lee era.
11090182
I'm just waiting for Sunset to say "go get em Tiger" to Pete XP
11090176
The Spidey Sense has been extremely wonky in its portrayal, so yes, you're not wrong in what you say about there being no contradiction to this. But you do wanna have a consistent and ideal portrayal of the Spidey Sense, and the most consistent and ideal imo is when it simply alerts him to immediate danger and it's up to Spidey to dodge it. Only times he should fail to dodge it is if whatever's going to harm him is much faster than Spidey can react. Unfortunately, every Spider-Man writers including Stan Lee himself has failed to be consistent with this, which results in Spidey being hit where the Spidey Sense should've saved him if the writers either hadn't forgotten about it or decided to leave it out for plot convenience.
11090191
I prefer to see it as more Peter failing to properly utilize or listen to his spider-sense. Sure it won't account for every inconsistent showing, but it would explain alot. If he gets hit even when he shouldn't, it's usually his own fault because he tended to be kinda cocky. He's always got his head in the clouds thinking over his problems to the point where he almost didn't dodge an Attack when a foe named the Puma threw a lead pipe at him. His reflexes are usually automatic (Kinda like ultra instinct) but again he has made it a habit to ignore this sense most of the time because to rely on it all the time would just be maddening. Even characters like Superman can't handle having their super senses run at full capacity every second of the day.
It's also a matter of experience. Like Peter's abilities don't actually change in nature, he just gets better at using them the older he gets. If he put himself on autopilot all the time, he'd probably end up hurting someone on reflex completely by accident. Which kinda goes against his whole "not killing" mentality. His physical restraint is a symptom of even this ability.
Also think of extra applications for the sense as just a form of echolocation. We all have a sense of hearing, but only people who are really in tune with that sense can use it to the degree that I'm mentioning. If Peter should ever choose to use the spider-sense as if it were a radar sense, it would only be after he's gotten a better handle on how to interpret it.
I get it. It's real annoying when it feels like a character is not living up to their full potential. That's not something unique to Spider-Man. Take the flash for instance (or really any speedster from fiction for that matter) Writers are well aware how hard they are to write for, so they intentionally usually give them personality flaws to hold them back. Like say rushing in without thinking, impatience, catching them off guard, thinking ten steps ahead of them, that sorta thing. This is bound to happen to any character in pop culture if they are around long enough (let alone be written by different writers over the years)
Heck, Writers have already come up with ways to nerf the spider-sense in the form of guys like Venom, Or Goblin using a special chemical to numb it. Alchemax using a spider-sense Jammer to give him a heck of a migraine. Point is regardless of how OP/inconsistent the sense can get at times, there are still ways to write around it.
11090201
I half-agree with your post. I do want some consistency, and while I love the Stan Lee Spidey for being so OP yet still struggling for legitimate reasons, I'd rather leave out the omnipotence aspect and simply leave it to a simple warning of imminent danger. Furthermore, even an inexperienced Spidey still pulled off amazing feats, so I'd rather have Spidey get hit either because his opponent was too fast for him to react or he doesn't trust the Spidey Sense even though it's warning him of something he visibly cannot see. Venom's an exception, as the explanation they gave for turning off the Spidey Sense not only makes sense (lolz pun), but it also emphasizes how much of a threat he is to Spidey as well as one of many reasons why he and Venom should be arch-enemies on the same level as Batman and Joker.
11090425
I half agree as well. While I do want some consistency, I also want a form of progression. And with this not being a several decade long story in the same way as the comics, I think that's a fine goal to have. I still think the spider-sense should be allowed its other uses, but just treated in a sorta shonen jump sorta sense. like when the main protagonist continually improves and the enemies simply get stronger in response to that rather then nerfing the hero outright. (BTW I know this is a nitpick but technically the term is omniscience, not omnipotent. The former mean's you know everything. The latter means you can do anything, subtle but big difference. Again sorry about that. just making a point that as great as the spider-sense is, in the grand scheme of things its not THAT OP) Now if you wanted a REAL OP Spider-sense, Just look at Madam Webbs Foresight or Assassin Spider-man (Basically a what if of Peter getting training and using the spider-sense to literally see the future)
qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-726fd198c0cfd48141076936b0d6068a

qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-148d625937b94c96be2bae9ef2f28454-lq
Also that advantage Venom has actually has more meaning to it if you allow for Peter's spider-sense to be that OP. It shows how much he relies on it and why it would make Venom that big of a threat a cut above the rest. (Plus You'd still face problems that you are criticizing even if it were limited to only immediate threats. It would STILL require alot a factors for peter to not always avoid getting hit. Which is why whatever argument that applies to him messing up with one side of the ability, also applies to the rest. It's all about focus no matter how he uses it, be it immediate or potential)
I get that it'd be easier to write if it was alot more limited. But I think the writing would be even better if instead of relying on shortcuts, the writers should just be forced to be more creative to get around it. That way tension is ironically higher because if something was so big a threat that the spider-sense almost didn't matter, then it would really mean something. Make the threats bigger, not the hero weaker. Otherwise how else are we gonna get cool scenes like this?
Use the force Luke! XD
There's also the MCU Approach where Peter describes his senses as just dialed up to 11. The mask helped him filter out it out because there was way to much sensory input. The films made it a point that peter had been neglecting the spider-sense until recently. Writing the spider-sense should be like writing a Daredevil book (who's senses are even sharper then Peter's) it's not impossible to write a character with senses like that. But super senses are like any tool or weapon. The weapon is only as good as the warrior that wields it. And most warriors are still only human and prone to making sloppy mistakes from time to time. Peter's basically simply a stronger daredevil who has enemies on par with him to make those extra abilities moot.

11090425
If anything it's not the spider-sense that bothers me. You could completely take it out of the equation and I'd still think it's dumb for only peak human level martial artist non powered characters to do to well against him in H2H combat. I'm fine with it when it's against other superhumans, but my suspension of disbelief gets stretched a bit thin when he either takes hits from or is injured by people far slower and weaker then him, spider-sense or not. Spider-man SHOULD seem unstoppable to the average thug. It's why most of his rogues gallery is comprised of individuals with powers comparable to his own.
11090577
Now that I truly agree with. Instead, there needs to be plausible reasons to be able to contend with Spidey. Villains like Doc Ock and Shocker are one-hitter quitters, but they have tools that give Spidey a lot of trouble that he needs to get past in order to one-shot them. Doc Ock has four arms that each contend with Spidey in both strength and speed while Shocker has super vibrations that Spidey can't push through without getting hurt. But dudes like the Enforcer and Kingpin should not give Spidey any trouble, though the latter thankfully has some memorable moments in both the mainstream and Ultimate comics where it's extremely obvious how much Spidey outclasses Kingpin.
11090597
Exactly! I'd simply appreciate a more honest take that doesn't feel the need to water him down just to make more human characters look good. It's not to say that a normal human like say the punisher wouldn't give him some trouble, but it would have to require alot of planning ahead and a little bit of luck (if Peter didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any). Any time a normal human tries to confront him, the gap between them should not be forgotten. Just because he's not invulnerable to bullets like the hulk, does not mean he's someone you can even remotely contend with without external help. You could honestly take a baseball bat and hit him in the face with it, and it shouldn't so much as phase him. Because This is the same guy who's literally had trucks slammed into him and walked it off. If you plan on doing any real damage, you hit him with something BIG.
11090611
Funny enough though, that's the problem I feel with MCU Spidey, which I'm gonna say right now, I actually really don't like at all whatsoever. MCU Spidey falls into this trap so hard that, after having read the Stan Lee comics up to issue 51 or so, it's easy to tell which kind of people actually read the comics and which one didn't.
And let's not forget Spidey solo'd the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, beat the Hulk in a fight (not the one where Spidey gets cosmic powers and beats Grey Hulk), knocked a boxcar over with a flick of a finger, and was stated to be so strong that the only big-named heroes who were stronger than him were Thor, Hulk, and The Thing.
11090630
While I'm not gonna get into a whole thing about MCU, I will just share this final image just as a sorta funny visual for how I see it
comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/14/141134/7216201-1492912968-unkno.png
Spidey 1.
Skilled but still normal Ninja, 0.
11090636
Eh, I'd have preferred the Ultimate comics first "fight" between Spidey and Kingpin, where Kingpin is delivering the typical villain monologue about how they finally meet for the first time while Spidey eagerly gets out his paper list of fat jokes and recites them.
11089039
Actually you are incredibly wrong the Spider Sense even protects Peter from threats to his wallet as long as he's playing against someone he knows is untrustworthy he can beat them in poker just by using his Spider Sense (no joke it's actually shown at one point that the Avengers don't invite him to poker because they thought he would cheat using his Spider Sense) In truth the Spider Sense is far more utilized than you think and would protect him he can actually ignore the spider sense and since it's probably a very low intensity tingle right now he's pretty much subconsciously ignoring it especially since they haven't directly confronted him yet.
11089084
That's actually how the Spider Tracers work. The story is the origin of the Spider Tracers, they use that unique radio frequency that he can track with his Spider Sense. So actually that has been utilized more than you think.
11091203
I already got that. I'm saying that there needs to be consistency with the Spidey Sense without the extra additions with the radio waves because it's incredibly stupid and the Spidey Sense acting only as a warning for imminent danger alone is OP enough as it is if written with consistency. Even Stan Lee was guilty of having the Spidey Sense to intercept radio waves, such as when he used it to track down Doctor Doom.
11090597
11090577
Most of the time that Peter gets hit by people weaker than him and it hurts him it's because he's literally rolling with the punches. Having to take the hits without bracing otherwise he'll cause more harm to the people he's fighting if he tries to either tank a hit or avoid it. It is literally shown that Spider-Man can break a heavyweight boxers wrist just by tensing up his muscles in anticipation of a punch that's why Spider-Man gets hit so often he's trying to avoid damage to his opponents by making sure that the damage they are dealing is directed at something that can take it or he's trying to keep them from damaging themselves from getting hit on his literal rock hard abs
11091217
I get that the spider sense is Op (as it should be) it is literally a form of precognition as it is mystical in nature unlike some of his other abilities (super strength speed durability) but there are other things that you should take into account. As I said in my last comment most of the time that Peter gets hit is because he's rolling with the punches, keeping people from hurting themselves by punching/attacking him while he's bracing. Inexperience for a younger Peter that's a definite Factor but when Peter is in his twenties most of the time the damage he takes in the hits that connect are due to him rolling with the punches. A famous example of how much Peter Parker holds back in a fight is when Doctor octopus literally punched the jaw of Scorpion off his head while in Peter's body. Scorpion a man that was supposed to be superior to Spider-Man in strength, speed, durability, and all that when he was initially created. Meaning that he should have been able to take a full strength hit from Peter Parker or Doc Ock in his body no problem if it was accurately calculated. That goes to show that everyone has been underestimating Spider-Man from the very beginning because he holds back all the time.
11091227
Spider-Man has always had great control over his strength, so there's no reason to implement that stupid DCAU Superman logic where he takes punches and such to gauge his opponent's strengths. Instead, Spidey wastes no time and tries to finish the fight as soon as possible, and if there's time, he'd screw around with them with insults. And the purpose of Spidey is that he's supposed to be OP but his life still sucks. So what the writers should be doing is instead of nerfing Spidey or pulling out stupid excuses that makes Spidey look worse than it visibly is, they need to make his opponents stronger. If you followed my conversation with Marvelsoldier, examples like Doc Ock or Shocker or Vulture are villains who can easily go down in a single hit, but they have other tools and weapons that contend with Spidey's insane powersets. Villains like Scorpion and Venom are superior than Spidey in every way, which is when you can have much better fights were Spidey does his absolute hardest without holding back. But with weaker opponents, there's no reason for Spidey to roll with the punches because not only is that a waste of time and energy, but that also further prolongs a fight, which also increases the danger and risks for civilians caught in the crossfire.
So this is connected to the other spiders and magic just in a different universe/timeline great story and great idea for linking things together
More!!! And Ouch, Peter is just not having a good day.
