//------------------------------// // When Magic Strikes // Story: Spiders and Magic Equestria Girls // by Alvaxerox //------------------------------// It's been a 8 months since Twilight defeated the Kingpin and saved New York city from his wrath. The spider venom she created has worn off. But thanks to Peter Parker. She can now work on a new super spider venom to make. And this would be permanent because it's from the same spider that bit him. Twilight told spike about her adventures in New York City. Spike always knew that she wanted to see what the world has to offer ever since before the Friendship Games. But with Sunset's advice, it was time to relax. While walking in Canterlot City, Twilight bumped into a young girl. "Oh uh, sorry there. i didn't see where you were going." She apologized. "No it's my fault. I was just... thinking of some stuff." The girl replied. "What's your name anyway." She asked. "Oh uh... my name is Twilight Sparkle. What's your name?" Twilight answered back. The girl looked up acting like she's bruting. "I am Gloriosa Daisy. So where are you heading too..." Gloriosa asked. "Well since some of my friends are out of town for vacation. I was thinking of going down to the big presentation. I heard that Filthy Rich has a big announcement for everyone in the city." Twilight said lookilooking a bit exited. "Oh sure... Filthy Rich has something big... in fact he got that something when he bought..." Gloriosa paused... "Bought what?" Twilight asked. Looking confused. "It's nothing... nothing important. Why don't we go to the presentation together. I was just gonna meet my brother there." Gloriosa said. "Okay?" Twilight said, a little creeped out. She sees Gloriosa giving a weird giggle while giving a creepy smile. Twilight's legs were shivering a little bit when she held Gloriosa's hand. She tried to calm down only briefly. Later on. They made to the presentation. Twilight was impressed by how much people had help prepare for this presentaion. Later, they saw Filthy Rich at the stage center, and the people applauded. "Alright, alright Everyone. Thank you for coming on this beautiful night." He said. Twilight saw Gloriosa's face being crossed. She had a mean look while looking at Filthy Rich was talking. "One day... Rich, one day..." "Hey Gloriosa you made it." A young boy ran up to Gloriosa. "I was thinking you'd never come. Who's your friend." The boy said while looking at Twilight. "Oh.. This is Twilight Sparkle. Twilight, this is my brother, Timber Spruce." Gloriosa introduced. "Please to meet you." Timber said to Twilight while shaking her hand. Twilight began to blush. "*giggle* Pleasures all mine." "... And now, thanks to acquaintanceof mine... I would like to meet my new assistant into fast science and research... Phillip Mynock." Filthy Rich finished as he introduced Scientist Phillip Mynock. Twilight noticed that Gloriosa was now growling while seeing Filthy Rich walk out of the stage. "Uh... Timber?" She turned facing Timber. "Yeah?" He asked. "No offense but... your sister is kinda creeping me out. It's like she lothes Filthy." Timber replied quietly. "Look... *sigh* about 7 months ago, Gloriosa and I own a camp that lasted for generations. It was our family camp called Camp Everfree. But one day, Filthy Rich arrived, saying that we didn't raised any money lately. And he was gonna turn our camp into a spa. Gloriosa stayed up all night and day trying very hard to raise enough money to keep the camp alive... But our parents decided that maybe they should negotiate with Filthy Rich. The deal was the camp stays... then let the spa be part of it. Gloriosa hated the idea, it was in the tradition of camping. Our parents were about to agree, they wouldn't mind a spa close to the camp. They can let the campers relax there for showers. But.. Gloriosa refused and ran off. I followed her to the where the spa was gonna be. There were machines their. She was gonna sabotage the machines i tried to stop her but then our parents and Filthy Rich saw her hitting the machines with a hammer. She even hurt me. Because of her, our mom and dad has no choice but to sell the camp to pay for the damage that Gloriosa did to the machines. When we came back home to Canterlot. she was having a tantrum. What she did was not an accident. She was ground for 3 weeks. She never came out of her room. Only to eat. When 3 weeks were up. Mom and dad said that she can come out. But she closed the door on them. Like she doesn't care about them anymore. She would mostly go outside and come back at sunset. But she's been stubborn lately. Sometimes it feels like I don't even know her anymore." Timber said. Twilight felt sorry for Timber. She turned her head to Gloriosa, she tried so much to help save her camp and she didn't even ask for her family's help. "Technology is the light that can cut through the darkness. When humanity comforms to a single truth." Phillp Mynock said In his speech. "A truth based on technological progress and scientific method , then we'll be unstoppable! I.. Doctor Phillp Mynock, vow as fellow scientist and businessman, that my duties to humankind will be fulfilled." The audience cheered for him. "Thank you, Thank you. Thank you very much. You've all been wonderful." "I really despised that guy." Gloriosa said. "Because of my 'camp Everfree justice' they turned my camp into a Reserch facility." "Your camp?" Timber asked. "Alright. Our camp." Gloriosa pointed out. "Can you stop it!?" Twilight shouted. "Look, just because you were reckless and stubborn trying to save you family's camp, doesn't mean that you can be selfish about it." Gloriosa's opened when Twilight said that to her. "How dare you?!" She said angrily while tears were coming out of her eyes. "It wasn't my fault, i had it under control! If it was anyone's fault it's Timber's and Rich's!" "WHAT!?" Timber was shocked to hear that his own sister is accusing him. While Timber and Gloriosa were fighting. Twilight notices something at the backstage. Spike's head jumped out from her backpack. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Shhh... quiet... I think something is wrong." She whispered. She saw someone beating up some security guards. The beats were getting louder. It caught Phillp's attention. "Who dares interfere with my presentaion. Face me you cowerd! Face a worthy foe!" Phillp said. The shadow figure shows.. herself. "What the hell? The Spider-Girl?" "Huh, the last time I check, you were Spider-Girl." Spike said. "Shut up Spike!" Twilight whispered. I need to get into my costume and stop that imposter." "But Twilight, you left your costume as home. Plus you don't have your spider powers anymore." Spike pointed out. Twilight now starts to worry. Her reputation will be ruined. People will consider her a criminal, Twilight had no choice... "Sorry guys. I have to go. Hope to see you next time. Bye." She said while waving goodbye and running away. "Gloriosa Look! Spider-Girl's stealing Mynock's device." Timber said. As the policemen came to stop her. Spider-Girl use her magic to blast them away, while making her exit. "Let's get home sis, something has gone terribly wrong." As both of them left. Gloriosa has a bit of a grin on her. 'I believe that the tides has finally changed.' Elsewhere... "Well done. Phase one is complete. Now let's begin phase two... shall we?" Said a mysterious figure. "Indeed.." and very soon... It begins..." another mysterious figure said. "Remember the rearrangement that me and your boss made, I'll have this city to my knees. You can have the world." The first figure said. "Oh I remember " the second figure said. "Let's see how this will end up being. As the both the shadowy figures laugh. While turning on a machine. A gust a black as filed Canterlot City. To be continued...
