Twilight was walking down the street, she was visiting a house that had been set up after her brother’s funeral; two of her friends were staying there. Twilight knocked on the door, and Flash Sentry answered.
“Hey Twilight.” The jock greeted.
“Hi, mind if I come in?”
Flash welcomed her into the house, “Of course, the officer said we can have visitors.” Twilight stepped inside, she saw Sandalwood on the couch.
After the event with the Insidious Six, Flash Sentry and Sandalwood had their trial; even though many people believed they’re innocence and there was evidence that they were being control, the judge put them under house arrest in a house under surveillance.
“Hello Twilight, how’s the gang?” Sandalwood asked.
She replied, “Everyone’s fine, Sunset and Fluttershy wonder when you two will be let go.”
Flash walked into the room and said, “Until that Taskmaster guy’s been caught, there’s no evidence that we weren’t involved. We just have to get a confession out of the guy, and we’ll be free men again.”
Twilight wanted to lift their spirits, so she said, “I’m sure Spiderman will catch the guy, and then you guys can have your lives back.”
That statement made some improvement, but they were still down; Twilight needed to help them in any way she could.
“And they say there’s no way they’re getting out of there until Taskmaster is caught and confesses that he used them, he controlled them.” Twilight explained.
She was in her Spider-Girl suit, and standing on a rooftop behind Adam; he was wearing the Spiderman suit and listening to her story.
“Well, I’m no close to finding him; and hasn’t been seen in months.” Adam said. “That’s what this guy does; he comes out of hiding, put me through some kind of test, and then once I complete it, he disappears again.”
Twilight sighed and walked next to him, “Well, this creep messed with my friends, I want in on this case; I want to help catch this guy.”
Adam looked at her and replied, “I have no idea what this guy is capable of, I can’t put you in harm’s way.” That statement just made Twilight sigh again. Adam then said to her, “But you are the smarter one out of this partnership, I could use your help.”
Spider-Girl turns to Spiderman and smiles under her mask, “Thanks.”
With that said, the two spiders fire web-lines and swing off into the city; there was still other things that required super-hero attention.
Within the lair of this maniacal group of villains, Mysterio was looking at a wall; this wall was covered with papers, pictures and documents for their plan. She looked at one picture specifically, whilst holding a marker pen.
With the pen, Trixie crossed out the picture of the diamond; the one she stole from the bank, with Molten Man’s help. But now he’s back in Rykers, but it didn’t affect her plan, she could still get what she needed to complete this heist.
The next the thing on her list of items to steal was a computer circuit, one that could grant them access to the police servers and allow them to pull off their great heist.
Mysterio turned to the meeting table, sitting at the table was Blizzard; just playing on his phone. The other two members were busy at the moment; Tombstone had gone to get something for their team, and no one knew where Pyro went.
Trixie said, “Since you’re the only one here, Winter; you’re going to help me steal that computer circuit we need.”
Blizzard looked up from his phone, “That is not my name, Winter Breeze was destroyed by me…” he dropped his phone and stood up out of his chair. “The Blizzard.” His hands began generating snow and ice.
Mysterio replied, “Well then, Blizzard. Will you help me steal something, which could help us steal something else; something that’ll make us all rich?” she said it with no fear, Blizzard’s power didn’t scare her.
Suddenly, one of their minions came into the room; he was wheeling a table into the room, on the table was a bag. Mysterio unzipped the bag, revealing brand new pieces of technology that she was going to give to Blizzard.
“These will insure the destruction of Spiderman, and that people all around will fear the name, Blizzard.” Trixie explained.
The ice cold villain turned down his power and looked into the bag, he then answered her question, “I could never say no to new toys and an enormous pay check; let’s go.”
They both walked over to the convoy used on the day they escaped, the crook in the driver’s seat was ready to take them to the location they needed to go.
When the two villains arrived, Blizzard noticed where they were; it was a police server farm; this was where they monitored everything, all the police data comes through here. If a villain got his hands on that kind of info, they could be unstoppable; learn police secrets, money transport schedules and even locations of people under witness protection.
Trixie explained to cold friend, “All we need is a circuit from here, one from the main server; once we have, we can learn what the vaults are like in the Canterlot gold refinery.”
The two villains stepped out of the truck, two guards from the server farm came outside to investigate the truck that pulled up outside the building. When the two guards saw Blizzard and Mysterio, they gasped.
“You two.” One of the guard said, they drew their batons. “Don’t move freaks.”
Blizzard didn’t take that insult likely, his hands raised out in front of him; without another word said, a blast of ice cold particles was released from his fingers. The blast encased the two guards in blocks of ice.
“Cool off, boys.” Blizzard joked.
Mysterio walked past him and said, “What did I tell you about those cold puns?”
The two villains made their way inside, followed by a group of thugs; one was carrying the bag that contained Blizzard’s upgrade.
Earlier that evening
Adam was sitting on his couch, the TV was playing and he was staring at the screen; Fluttershy was in the kitchen, she was sitting on a stool and writing in her note book. When the commercials came on, Adam turned to his girlfriend and spoke to her.
“Sweetheart, are we okay?” Adam asked.
Fluttershy looked up from her notes and replied, “Of course we’re okay, why wouldn’t we be.”
“No I don’t mean ‘us’, I mean financially. Do we have enough money?” Adam looked down at her notes, they weren’t for a new song, or for the animals. “Are these the bills?” he picked up her note book and found sheets of paper.
Fluttershy put her hand over her mouth, she was about to start crying; but she said, “I’m sorry, Adam; I’ve been trying to sort out the bills, I didn’t want you to worry.”
Adam could never be mad at Fluttershy, but he did wish she’d told him; he picked up one of the sheets of paper. “We don’t have this kind of money, we spend most of our money getting this place fixed after it exploded months ago.”
Adam saw only way out of this, “If we don’t come up with some money, we could lose the apartment; If we want to keep our home, I’m gonna have to go out and find a job.”
Fluttershy then suggested, “I could ask for my old job back at the animal shelter.”
“Okay, if you do that; I’ll look for something in the paper.” Adam said, he then walked over to Fluttershy and held out his arms. She was welcomed into a hug, she nuzzled his shoulder; Adam whispered to her, “We’ll get through this.”
They walked back over to the couch and sat down; Fluttershy felt safe in Adam’s arms, like she had a guardian that cares for her, which he does.
However, the moment ended when Adam got a crime alert on his phone; he took it out of his pocket and swiped right.
“Mysterio and Blizzard harm broken into the server farm down town.” He turned to Fluttershy, he was expecting her to pout, but she didn’t.
Fluttershy said, “Why are you still sitting here, people need you, go.” She took up and walked into the bedroom, she pulled Adam’s costume out of the cupboard. Adam was about to say something, but Fluttershy through the suit over his head.
Adam took the suit into the other room and changed into it, “I didn’t know you were so keen to get rid of me.” He joked. She giggled at his joke, Adam walked out of the room in his red and blue suit.
Before he left, he contacted a friend to come and help him, “Nova, I’m heading to the Canterlot police server farm; mind giving me a hand?”
Soarin replied with, “I’ll get my helmet and meet you there.”
Adam walked over to the window, before he put his mask on, he turned to Fluttershy; she walked over to her boyfriend and kissed him on the lips. They pulled away and Fluttershy said, “Go get ’em tiger.”
Spiderman smiled before putting his mask on, he then jump from the window and fired a web-line; the hero swung through the city, not a bad thought in the world.
Spiderman swung to the entrance of the server farm, standing outside the main gate was Soarin; suited up and ready to take on the super-villains. But what was standing next to the energy hero, gave Adam the creeps.
Two guard were frozen in ice, Nova was beside one of the frozen men; his hands were glowing, he was trying to use his powers to melt the ice. Unfortunately, it wasn’t melting fast enough.
“We need to get inside and stop Blizzard.” Adam said.
But Soarin replied, “But what about these guards, we can’t leave them like this?”
Adam thought, then he knew what he could do; he used the communicator in his mask to notify the authorities. He explained to Nova, “I’ve notified the hospital, they’ll send some help; meaning we can focus on catching the man that did this.”
Nova agreed to the plan, he followed Adam into the server farm; this was just the beginning the night.
Adam and Soarin walked into a room, it was filled with computer servers; there didn’t seem to be anyone here, so the boys looked around for some kind of clue.
While the looked, Soarin asked Adam something; “Hey Adam, is it true that your from another dimension?”
“As true as the situation were in now.” Adam replied. “Why’d you ask?”
Nova explained, “You’re from another universe, why’d you leave? I mean, didn’t you have friends and family back where you come from.”
Adam stopped in his tracks, “Okay Soarin, I’ll level with you; the girls know this, they found it weird at first and so did I as a matter of fact. But I am here now because I love Fluttershy, nothing more.” He thought about how he was going to say it.
“I don’t know if Sunset told you, but there is a world where you’re all ponies; talking ponies. And where those ponies come from is an alien planet to me; there, there was a Fluttershy, a pony Fluttershy. She was beautiful, but there were reasons why I couldn’t be with her; she was married with kids, twice my age and she was a different specials.”
Soarin had some thoughts on what he was hearing, but he wanted Adam to explain more.
“One day, when I was on the alien planet; Princess Twilight Sparkle told me about the multiverse, and that there was a world that had a human Fluttershy. At first, I was with this Fluttershy to replace the pony one; but the night that Doc Ock kidnapped her and her friends, it made me realise I wanted to be with her and no one else.”
Soarin thought about what he just heard, the first thing that came to his mind was, “Wait, there’s a pony version of me?”
“Yep.” Spidey replied.
Before either of them could say another word, a blast of cold was fired across the room; the beam him Nova in the chest and sent him across the room. Spiderman ducked behind one of the servers, he looked round to see who did that; even though there was only one possible answer.
“So, the great Nova came to stop me on his own.” The Blizzard said as he stepped out of the dark, he hadn’t noticed Spiderman; so Adam had the chance to sneak into the air vent.
Spidey looked down through the vent, Blizzard and his men had put power damping cuff on his friend; “If we have you, Spiderman will come and try to save you; and when he does, I turn him into and ice sculpture for my trophy case.”
Two of the crooks grabbed Soarin by the arms and dragged him along, Adam waited until they had left the room before he jumped down; now he had to rescue Soarin and stop Blizzard.
Adam ran through the halls of the building, he had no clue on where to look for Soarin; that was until he heard a noise coming from a room close by. Spiderman ran for the door that led to the room; only to find out that the door actually led outside.
It was a small circle shaped courtyard in the middle of the building, it would be where the workers would have their breaks.
And in the middle of the courtyard, was a rotating platform; and standing on the platform, was Blizzard. “What’s up, web-head? You like my new toy?” Blizzard was showing off a large freeze ray he had mounted onto the platform.
Before Adam could respond to his comment, Blizzard fired a blast from his weapon; the beam just missed Spiderman as he ducked behind a pillar.
It was dark outside, so Blizzard had a bright torch on the end of his weapon; as long as Adam stayed in the shadows, he’d be safe. He just needed to get behind Blizzard, then he do some damage.
Blizzard used the platform to spin around the courtyard, he shined the torch at each pillar; Spiderman was hiding behind one of them. What he didn’t realise was that Adam had already snuck up behind him.
Once Blizzard’s back was facing Adam, he web-zipped towards the villain and kicked him in the back; he spun him around and punched his face two or three times.
But the villain recovered from the blow quickly, he spun the weapon around and it wacked Adam away. Blizzard used this chance to blast three of the pillars, that took away some of Adam’s hiding places; he did however manage to hide himself again, waiting for the moment to strike.
While the villain searched for the hero, he began to talk to the darkness; he knew Spiderman could hear him. “So Spiderman, what pose will you be in when I freeze you solid?”
Adam kept his voice down, so that Blizzard wouldn’t hear where he was; but he still replied, “The only pose I’ll be making, is a happy one, when I put you back in hand cuffs.” Spiderman saw his chance to sneak up on the villain again.
Spidey web-zipped and kicked him in the back; after three or four kicks to the stomach, Blizzard fought back, spinning the weapon around and whacking Spiderman away.
Blizzard once again fired an ice blast at the pillars, the ones he knocked down left only one still standing; the ice cold villain now knew exactly where the wall-crawler was hiding.
“Cool off, vermin!” he yelled, he then fired the freeze ray.
The beam of ice destroyed the last pillar, but to Blizzard’s surprise, Spidey wasn’t there. “What?” Blizzard questioned; only to be kicked in the back of the head and thrown across the room.
He recovered from the attack, he looked at his freeze ray; Spiderman was balancing and crouch on the end of the barrel. “Ta-da.” The hero joked.
The super-villain was beyond mad, in ice cold words he said, “I’m gonna turn you into a red and blue snow cone, you pest!” Blizzard threw ice blasts at the hero, Adam managed to dodge them so he could get close enough to the villain.
Once Spiderman was close enough, he punched Blizzard in the stomach; it take much to make this bad guy go down.
The ice man put his hands up after the punch, “Okay, no more, I give.” He explained.
“Well, okay then.” Adam was about to tie Blizzard’s hands together, but then…
The villain head butted Spidey in the face, knocking him to the ground; Adam was dazed, the fact that the villain was wearing a metal mask. Blizzard looked down at his fallen foe, “Sucker.” He muttered, before running for a door on the edge of the plaza.
After a few minutes of being knocked unconscious, Spiderman came to; “Anyone catch the number of that snow-plough?” he joked. Suddenly, his attention was drawn towards a tower on the far side of the facility.
Adam swung up to the roof, the air around the server farm was getting colder; as Spiderman got closer to the tower, he began to shiver more. It was as if the tower was producing this early winter, no doubt the snow miser was inside.
When Spiderman kicked the door open, he saw Blizzard standing in the centre of the room; and he wasn’t alone.
Nova was here, he was trapped in ice that made him stick to the wall; the collar around his neck was blocking his powers, so he couldn’t melt his way out.
“Welcome to my private ice rink Spiderman, like these new toys Mysterio cooked up for me?” Blizzard had two weapons mounted onto his arms; one looked like a mini-gun, while the other was a cannon. “Let me introduce you to, Icicle Thrower and Snow Blaster.” The villain said.
Spiderman stepped forward and said, “Alright Winter, time to bring back summer.” With that said, the hero and the villain charged at each other.
Blizzard got the first hit by whacking Adam with the cannon, Spidey couldn’t fight him head on, so he needed to do something else. Blizzard decided to try his new blasters, he started by using the mini-gun to fire a few rounds of icicles at the hero; some of them blasted him into the wall.
While the hero was down, Blizzard saw a chance to use his other weapon; he charged the Snow Blaster and was ready to use it. Adam’s spider-sense went off, warning him of the incoming threat; he got up and jumped out of the way of the blast, but the ice beam still hit something.
One out of the three boilers that were scattered around the room was hit by the ice blast, the pressure built up inside and the machine blew; steam was released into the room, making it hard to see.
Spiderman had escaped up to the rafters, his lenses could see through the mist; Adam could now sneak attack Blizzard, without his knowledge.
The hero swung over to the beam behind the ice villain and put his attack into action; Adam shot a web-line down at his back and pulled him up, after punching him a few times, he found a wire the led to one of his weapons and pulled it loose.
Blizzard dropped back down to the ground as the steam cleared, the power going to his Icicle Thrower had been lost; he pushed a button and the weapon slid off his arm. No point carrying it if it didn’t work.
With one of the weapons offline, Adam thought he could now take on Blizzard in a straight forward fight; but it didn’t turn out like that.
Spiderman swung towards the villain kicked him in the chest; but after that blow, Blizzard swung his other weapon around and bashed Adam away again. It was clear that a straight fight wasn’t going to work as long as Blizzard still had one of those weapons.
The villain now focused on just using the Snow Blaster, he fired blast after blast, trying to hit the hero; but every shot missed. Until managed to hit another boiler, causing more steam to be released into the room.
Once again, Adam used the distraction to leap up to the rafters and attack Blizzard from above; he used the same trick as before. Spiderman shot a web at the villain’s back and pulled him up to him, Adam punched him a few times before pulling the wire out of his other weapon.
When Blizzard was dropped to the floor a second time, his Snow Blaster slid off his arm; he stated, “Who needs upgrades, I turn you into an icicle with my own hands.” Blizzard used his classic power to try and freeze-blast Spiderman; however, now Adam could attack in a straight up fight.
Spiderman swung down from the rafters and kicked Blizzard in the stomach, then started punching and kicking him; the finally kick to the face broke his gas mask-like face cover and hurled him at the finally boiler. When the villain hit the machine, it released steam like the other and knocked the bad guy out cold.
Adam walked over to the unconscious criminal and muttered, “You’ve been melted, snow-cone.”
The hero turned to the side and remembered his partner was still frozen; Spidey leaped up to the wall and punched through the ice. After helping Nova to the ground, Adam made sure he was okay.
“Are you good?” the hero asked.
Nova shivered a little before replying, “Not really, without my powers protecting me, the ice has done something to me.”
“We’ll get you back to base, you can recover there.” Adam explained.
Suddenly, laughter could be heard from above them; Spiderman turned to see Trixie standing on a platform above them.
“One less super-villain to pay for his services, thank you Spiderman. And with this computer hard-drive…” she showed him the device, “Pulling off my scheme, will be easy as pie.” Instead of disappearing, Trixie just ran off.
Adam saw that this was an opportunity to catch her as well; he quickly called back to HQ, “Rainbow, come pick up Nova; I need to go after Mysterio. Oh, and tell the police that Blizzard is waiting for them at the server farm.” Spidey quickly webbed up Blizzard and then made sure Nova was okay before swinging after Trixie.
Spiderman followed the villain outside, he saw her climbing into a large truck convoy; he hard to go after it.
Before it drove away, over vans baring the same colour scheme drove past it; one of them stopped and someone got out.
Tombstone got out of the vehicle and walked over to the larger convoy, he opened the door to the driver’s seat and pulled the driver out of his chair; “I’ll drive.” He said as the driver was thrown to his fellow crooks; they took him to the other vans and they all drove off.
Adam now knew he really had to catch that truck, it would be a chance to catch both Mysterio and Tombstone. So he quickly refilled his web-shooters and started web swinging after the trucks; he wanted to end this tonight.
