A Fresh Start

The Spider vs. The Goblin

Peter swings through Ponyville. Royal Guard ponies and police officers were racing towards Goblin and Venom. "I don't like leaving anyone to fight my battles, but Brock's right. I need something that can give an edge against Gobby."

Peter burst into Trixie's house, stopping once Trixie was in his line of sight. She was wearing his spider armor! Or at least a finished model of it. "What are you doing?"

"Going to fight Goblin." Peter rips off the remainder of his mask, his face was badly bruised. Blood pours from his head.

"You can't! He's too dangerous! He'll--"

"I'm not some helpless mare Parker! I can take care of myself. Besides, you couldn't even keep Twilight safe, how can I even trust anything you say?"

"But I found Twilight. I found her and Spike. Their safe in Goblin's bunker. Venom is keeping Goblin distracted, but he needs backup."

"Then I'm going. Your not stopping me Peter." Trixie puts the helmet on. The spider eyes glow blue. Peter takes notice to the addition of the horn on the helmet. He sighs as Trixie flies past him.

"Did she add boot jets too? Iron-Stallion's gonna think I ripped him off." Peter enters his bedroom, parts were scattered over the floor. "If I want to beat Goblin, I'm gonna need to make something that can withstand the beating he's gonna give me." Peter grabs one of the parts. He looks over it, before smiling.

Venom back flips onto a building as a pumpkin bomb hits the ground. "Where's Parker. We need some extra hands." Venom leaps onto another building as Goblin smashes the previous one. Venom extends the symbiote to wrap around Goblin's throat. Venom uses the tendril to pull Goblin down, but instead he was yanked forward. Goblin backhands Venom, sending the brute flying into the dirt. His body bounces off the ground before coming to a halt. Now they were in the center of Ponyville.

"That hurt."

"No shit it did Eddie. Now focus! We need to keep Goblin from harming any innocent ponies."

"Yeah yeah where's our backup?"

"I don't know." Venom sees Trixie fly past him. "Guess backup has arrived."

"Are you okay Twilight? Do you have any injuries?" Twilight took a minute to catch herself. She shakes her head. Shining smiles. "Do you know what--"

"That Goblin dude's took us to lure Spider-Mane to him. He...he said that he was going to kill him and Ponyville! We have to help Spidey stop him!" Shining turns to his men.

"You heard Spike, help Spider-Mane, and anypony who aids him, in stopping the Goblin! GO!"

"What can we do to stop him Dash? We don't have any special powers! W-we're just everyday ponies for Celestia's sake!" Rarity shakes in fear. Fighting somepony powerful enough to rip her in half wasn't on her "To Do" list.

"It doesn't matter Rarity! We have to help him! He went through all the trouble to find Spike and Twilight, the least we can do is lend a helping hand!" The mares were quite. Finally, Applejack spoke.

"Then what in tarnation are we wait'n for?"

"Parker?" Goblin takes a barrage of missiles to his face. Going to rub his eyes, his arms are yanked back. Once his vision returns, Goblin sees his arms are being held down by a spell. Goblin tries to free his arms, but the chains only grew tighter. He roars in frustration. "Parker can't do this! You must be another one of his friends! What? Is he scared to face death?"

Trixie glares underneath the helmet. She charges her horn, and unleashes a flurry of magic attacks. Each blast hitting their target. The spears dissolve, leaving Goblin's chest to bleed out. Goblin smiles. "Go ahead, kill me. See if Parker won't stop you." Trixie fires up her horn. Before she could go with that act, a web strikes the helmet.

"We don't kill pal! Number one rule of mine." Trixie looks at Spider-Mane. He's suit was the exact one she had requested days ago. The suit bore a black color scheme. The lenses were now red. The spiders on his chest and back were replaced with two red spiders. Talons were at the end of each digit. On his palms were the black widow's hourglass. Spider-Mane's lenses shift to anger.

"Donning a new suit won't save you Parker!" Goblin pulls at his restraints again, finally breaking free.

"This ends Goblin. Whether you like it or not, this ends!"

"And we're standing by his side!" Goblin, Spider-Mane, and Trixie turn their heads to see the Royal Guard and Shining Armor, the princesses, Dash and her friends, Iron-Stallion, the police force, and Venom.

"They wanted to kick some Goblin ass! I couldn't say no to that." Venom says. Spider-Mane and Trixie lock onto each other. The two friends nod.

"No matter, I'll kill you all!"

"Take your best shot Gobby!" Spider-Mane leaps at Goblin, the crowd behind readies themselves. One way or another, one of them was going down.

One of them had to lose.
