Otto places the book on the shelf, 'So, it seems I have caught myself on most of the history of this world it seems. It was not a lesson I was anticipating, but if I am to become a pony, it was a smart decision to learn how this world came to be.'
'Quite the bizarre world I found myself in. This land was once protected by a great wizard and two princesses, the latter seemingly alive today somehow after more than a thousand years... Yet the book claims them to be gods, something I cannot agree with, despite their supposed abilities to mess with the natural orders of day and night cycles. That is something worth looking into for future reference.'
Octavius sat down to continue thinking, 'It claimed that the night princess, Luna, grew bitter toward her sister because she believed nobody to enjoy her night sky and became a demon known as Nightmare Moon. It was then the day princess, Celestia, banished her to the moon for a thousand years... Quite the uprising.'
Looking at the shelf, the scientist pondered, 'There were quite a few threats in this world. The spirit of chaos, Discord, who was supposedly trapped in stone again thanks to the Elements of Harmony, something else I will look into. Queen Chrysalis of the changeling race, driven away by Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. There is Sombra, who was recently destroyed in the Crystal Empire, and the being known as Tirek should still be in Tartarus to this day.'
Standing up at last, Otto yawned, looking at the night sky out the window, "I have been at this longer than I thought. Very well, I should probably rest for the night. I have done enough learning for the time..." he began to walk to his room to wrap things up for the day, but a knock on the door got his attention first.
'Who could it be at this time of day? Twilight and the dragon should still be sleeping. Feh, I guess I'll see who dares to disturb us at this hour.' he groaned inwardly.
With nothing else to do, Octavius opened the door, spotting a pink mare on the other side. He rolled his eyes, 'Oh, of freaking course. Of all the company to have it had to be the pink one.'
"Hi, Otto." Pinkie greeted.
Otto's eyes drooped, "Why are you at this time of night, Pinkie? Some of us wanted to get some sleep."
Nodding, Pinkie continued, "I know, but something was bugging me. Why do you call yourself Spider-Man? I mean, what is a man?"
"A miserable pile of secrets..." Otto muttered under his breath, referencing something he can't quite place. 'Oh great. It seems I adopted Parker's constant need to spew references.'
"So, I was thinking about changing your name." she pointed out. "I was thinking... Spider-Mane!"
Octavius gritted his teeth, "No offense, Pinkie. But I will stick to using Spider-Man. The name doesn't roll off the tongue in my case. Perhaps if you were talking to Parker, he would agree to the name change, but he isn't here. So, I will stick to Spider-Man."
"Stick to? Ha, spider pun." Pinkie chuckled.
Slapping a hoof onto his face, Otto groaned, "Damn it... Let it be known, Pinkie, that I am just Spider-Man. Not Spider-Mane, not the Superior Spider-Man. Just Spider-Man." he dismissed.
"Okie dokie lokie, Otto!" Pinkie cheered, bouncing away, prompting Octavius to close the door.
'That was a bizarre venture. Let it be known that I tolerate nuisances like her and Parker. But something tells me I'll be seeing more of her.' he sighed.
Making his way to his room, Otto looked at the supplies that came with him when he arrived in Equestria, hoping to do a recountnof what he had aquired. 'Let's see. My costume... Still in good condition and obviously fitting on account of my new form. The fire gauntlet, designed for symbiote threats... And yetis it seems.' he mused, taking a glance at various functions of his suit.
'Of course, there are the webshooters... I am afraid I maybe running out of  webbing. If only I can find a way to replicate the formula required for my version.' he ran upstairs, grabbed a couple of books and began to wonder what he could use. 'I am not sure if Equestria has the proper materials needed to create the webbing, but I will do my damnest to recreate the cartridges.'
He turned page after page, looking over what he needed in order to create the formula. 'Hm. It may not be as advanced as my version of the webshooters, but if I can gain the necessary tools to at least start with what Parker had when I was in his body, then I will consider it good enough.'
Otto flipped a page, looking over the many materials that existed. 'Just as expansive as Earth. Perhaps I can find some polyisoprene and a bonding agent to ensure that the materials sticks and doesn't dissolve when I use the shooters. Or I can find a way to make artificial silk if there is such a way here.'
'Hmph. It seems I may have to wait for morning in order to begin hunting for web fluid materials, it seems.' he lightly yawned, 'No, Otto. You are not sleeping now. Not until you can figure out how to create the formula. After all, what if something happens that requires webbing?'
The scientist turned his head to the mirror, seeing a reflection he knew all too well. "Why must you pester me now, Parker? First the pink one now you... Ugh. What is it?" he asked, wondering why his predecessor's memories revealed themselves once more.
Peter shook his head, 'Come on, Otto. Look at what you're doing. You're too focused on being Spider-Man, pushing aside everything else. You know, it wouldn't hurt to be Otto Octavius without worrying about the other identity. Back on Earth, you pushed everyone aside to focus on being a hero and because of that when they needed you, you weren't around to protect them.'
"You speak as if I am doing that now. I have the time to devote into ensuring the costume is able to push on and fight any threat without any hinderence." Otto explained, holding up his mask, "In fact, very soon, I wish to upgrade the lenses."
'Look, Octavius. I may only be a remnant in your mind, but even I can tell you're avoiding them. Why is that? They want to be your friends, yet you pushed Pinkie away earlier.' Peter wondered.
Octavius gritted his teeth, "I grew tired after Rainbow's little incident yesterday. I had been studying for hours on end hoping to learn about this world and I wanted to come down here to see if I am able to be Spider-Man without any malfunctions to my suit, then she decided to interrupt me at such a late hour. Plus, she didn't seem to be so offended." he said.
'You know what I mean, Otto. She decided to come all the way here to give you a neat little nickname. Which I kinda like. It's goofy, but it makes sense given you're a pony.' Peter chuckled.
"How are you a manifestation in my brain again? You are as childish as the real Parker." Otto grumbled at the reflection.
Peter raised a finger, 'I'm as childish as you remember him. This one's on you.'
"Snarky as ever. Is there any other reason why you're here other than to spew unfunny nonsense?" grumbled the scientist, planting his head on the table.
'I only came to warn you not to repeat what you did on Earth. Because what happens when the six need you and you're not willing to listen?' he asked before fading away, leaving Octavius to his own devices once more.
'I do not need him lecturing me everytime I do something... I am my own man. I am not sure why my own brilliant mind would create such a feeble thing.' Otto grumbled.
Some more time passed as Otto studied, him accidentally asleep headfirst on the table. Images flashed back in his head, bringing to mind his greatest failure.
The Superior Spider-Man perched himself on a gargoyle. He could hear the screams and laughter that echoed across New York. 'Going by all available data... I, Otto Octavius, the Superior Spider-Man, have achieved my goal. By targeting and destroying every major crime syndicate I have effectively ended crime in New York.'
'So why is the city laughing at me?'
Spider-Man screamed, "This can't be happening! It's not possible!" he wondered, his Spider-Bots not tracking any crime, despite seeing otherwise, "But the city's burning! I can see it!" with no other option, he swung away.
"Spider-Island! Come in!" he ordered, trying to contact he secret base, to no avail. He landed on a rooftop, able to see the Brooklyn Bridge and seeing the source.
"No... Osborn."
'All this time it was you. And you want me to know. Not that it's just you, but that it's over and you already won.'
"That's right Otto!" Green Goblin called out suddenly, surprising Otto even further.
'Wait... This isn't how I remembered it.' Spider-Man realized, swinging after Osborn. He noticed a familiar short woman hanging on a rope underneath his glider, which the end was held by his hand. 'This must be a strange dream. One I intend to stop.'
"Anna Maria!" Otto called out.
The Green Goblin chuckled, "That's right, Otto! Chase after me! See what happens!" he commanded.
In silence, Spider-Man leaped after the Green Goblin, hoping to stop him once and for all. Otto tackled the Goblin, bringing the glider down with his weight. "Ah ah ah, Otto! Think about the girl here! She could possibly..." he paused, dropping the rope, "Oops!"
Without hesitation, Spider-Man dived down, aiming a webline to Anna, who fell without a scream. As the two neared the ground, the line nearly connected...
Suddenly, Otto snapped awake with a small scream, sweat pouring down his face. He held his head, 'What was that...? That wasn't how I remembered that day. No, I chased and tracked Osborn, Parker got his body back... She should be safe.'
Getting up, Otto looked at his costume. 'If it is morning, then I will seek what I need.' a familiar tingling sensation rang through his head, "The Spider-Sense? Why is it going off now? I just woke up!" he groaned to himself.
He grabbed his costume and stormed up the stairs, putting it on in a hurry. "Twilight? Spike! What the hell is going on?" he asked, seing nothing major happening.
"Otto? You alright, dude? You look like you saw a ghost." Spike wondered worriedly.
Shaking his head, Octavius looked at the drake, "That part is not important dragon. You see, I have a sixth sense Parker and I call the Spider-Sense. It allows me to detect danger."
"A sixth sense? That is fascinating." Twilight gasped, "Can you figure out what it is?"
"No, mare. That's why I came up here!" Otto snarled.
Rumbling was heard, alerting Octavius's Spider-Sense again. He looked outside, his mask over his head. His eyes widened at what he saw. '"Of all the things..."
A dragon was rampaging around Ponyville, destroying buildings and releasing fire breath. 'Dragons... I am brought to a world of ponies and have fought a yeti and I can add dragon to the list. Parker would be losing his mind if he were here.'
