Canterlot City, the more the heroes save it, the more it needs saving. But that doesn’t make any less of a great city; as you all know, this city is protected, by the universes greatest heroes.
Led and inspired by the first superhero to every come to Canterlot City; the Spectacular Spiderman.
And this is the story of how his friend, with the same powers as him, learned how to be the best spider-person she could.
Under the city, on the subway train; Twilight Sparkle was on the train, looking down at her phone. She had her ear-pods in, listening to some of the music that her and her friends have made; however, while she was listening, she got a text message from her mum.
“Don’t forget to pick up the eggs for tonight.”
Twilight replied, “Don’t worry, I’m on it.”
When the train came to a stop, Twilight waited for the doors to open and got off the train; her mum then texted her back and said, “Be careful going through town, watch out for the prison convoy this afternoon.”
Before Twilight could reply, she got another text from someone else; someone she actually had to meet.
“Hey Twi, I waiting on top of the council building. Where are you?”
Twilight saw this text and replied, “I’m on my way.”
With that said, she left the subway station and walked down the street; as she walked, she saw the people, just living their normal lives. Sometimes, she forgets what a normal life is like; she tries to remember what life was like, before the spider-bite, before Canterlot High. But still, she wouldn’t change anything that happened for the world.
When the moment presented itself, she slipped into an alleyway, where she could quickly change without being noticed.
Once fully suited up, she leaped up to the rooftops and began making her way to the location given to her. Using her webs, she hooked onto a moving train and ran across its roof; before summersaulting off it and swinging through the city. While swinging however, she swung past a sign on the one of the building; it was promoting a new energy source made by the newest technology company.
After firing a web, she swung high into the air and cheered, “Woohoo! Let’s go!” Then without warning, the phone system in her mask received a call, from Spiderman.
“Hey, Adam, I’m on my way now.” Spider-Girl answered. “Did I miss the convoy?”
Spidey replied, “Not yet, they’re still securing a couple of inmates.”
Twilight then stated, “I bet it feels good; seeing all those guys who escaped prison again, going back to Rykers.”
“Real good, Rykers is way more advanced now; not to mention, since Celestia won the election, the council has been given the 'okay' to fund the Ravencroft facility. All those people who didn’t ask to be this way, can receive the help and care that they need; and not just a padded jail cell.” Adam explained.
“Let’s hope this helps. I’m almost there, see you soon.” Twilight then hanged up the call, so she could focus on swinging.
As Twilight kept swinging through the buildings, another thought came to her mind; she said to herself, “I should call Mum and let her know I’ll be late.” She used her mask again to make the call.
Her mum answered with, “Hey Sweetie, you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine; but the department store was out of eggs. I gonna check the mall down town.” Twilight replied.
Twilight Velvet replied, “Okay, but avoid the council estate; that prison convoy is making traffic a nightmare.”
“Okay, I’ll see you at dinner, Mum.” Spider-Girl replied. The call ended and Twilight kept making her way to Adam’s location; she began talking to herself again, “Wow, this whole ‘secret identity’ thing is kind of stressful.”
The last obstacle was Twilight having to crawl to the top of a large building, Adam was waiting at the top; when Spider-Girl finally landed on the roof, she perched herself on ledged to wait for her partner.
“Adam, you here?” she asked.
A voice was then heard from behind her, “Just downing some rocket fuel.” Twilight turned to see Spiderman, with his mask above his nose and eat a cheese sandwich.
The first thought that came to mind was, “Where did you get that?” Spider-Girl asked.
“From that sandwich shop just down the road there.” Spiderman replied, pointing at the shop below them.
Something then caught both their attention, a helicopter carrying a large container; the prison transport had begun. Adam threw the left-overs of the sandwich into a nearby dumpster, he pulled his mask down over his mouth and started swinging after the helicopter; Twilight jumped and started swinging after him.
The two spiders followed the helicopter down the street, and below them, prison convoys were moving other inmates.
“Wow, the police really went all out for this one.” Twilight stated.
Adam replied, “Yeah, they really don’t want anyone to get out again.” The both then heard a rumble coming from the container hanging from the chopper. “Especially our guest of honour.”
Spider-Girl asked, “You mean one of the powerful super-villains is in there?”
“Yep; they have to move everyone to Rykers before the chosen few can be moved to Ravencroft, once is up and running.” Spiderman explained. “So, it could be anyone in there; could be Molten Man, could be Man-Wolf.” They both heard another rumble, “Or someone bigger.”
Suddenly, something caught Twilight’s attention; one of the cables holding the container up was snapping, so she jumped into action. “That cable is breaking, I got this.”
“Twilight, wait…”
But before Adam could stop her, she stuck to the side of the container and shot some web at the snapping cable. “It’s secure.” She explained. But something went wrong, the whole thing started shaking; the inmate inside was taking advantage of the situation and trying to break out.
The pilots of the helicopter were trying to keep the chopper level; but one of them shouted, “Weight balance has been thrown off, were going down! Brace for impact!”
Spiderman and Spider-Girl used their webs and tried to catch the chopper before it went down; but all they managed to do was soften the landing, kind of. The helicopter crashed into the street, hitting two of the prison convoys on the road; Adam and Twilight landed on the street to see how bad the damage was.
Twilight was worried she’d caused something bad; she was saying, “Adam, I’m so sorry, I thought I had it.”
But Adam replied, “It’s okay Twilight, we just need to contain this before…”
Before Spiderman could finish, the container that was being carried by the chopper was ripped open from the inside; the door fell off like paper, and the inmate marched onto the street.
“…that happens.” Adam finished.
“Two little spiders, standing in the street; guess I’ll have to crush you beneath my boot before the police arrive.” The inmate stated.
Twilight gasped the prisoner’s name, “Juggernaut.”
Juggernaut was wearing the pair of special hand-restraints the prison had made for him; two large metal spheres covering his hands, held together by a beam of steel. However, with the power dampener off, he was able to rip them apart.
Also, the two convoys that were hit in the crash, they were compromised; the inmates inside were able to open the doors.
Spiderman turned to Twilight and said, “I’ll handle the big guy; contain the breakout before this gets any worse.” With that said, Juggernaut charged forward, attempting to knock down the heroes; Twilight jumped out of the way, but Adam jumped over the villain and shot two webs at him. Spidey began latched onto Juggernaut’s back and started steering him around the street, trying to stop him.
As for Spider-Girl, she had to stop the inmates from getting away; the crooks surrounded her, she began to take them down one by one.
The first guy ran towards Twilight, but she jumped over him and kicked him in the back of the head; she then rapidly fired webs at him, sticking him to the ground. Two other guys attack her at the same time; but Twilight swung her leg around and kicked them both in the face, knocking them to the ground.
Whilst she was fighting, Twilight could hear Spiderman trying to talk down Juggernaut. “Come on Bulk, where’s the friendly jock who went to Canterlot High and had friends?”
“He went away when the Juggernaut was born; he lost everyone, but gained something better. Power!” the villain replied.
“Whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night.”
Trying to escape from the debris, one of the convoy guards was crawling to safety; but he was discovered by one of the convicts, the crook grabbed him by the neck and took his gun. The thug held the gun to the guards head; Twilight had to help the guard before it was too late.
Her timing was key, quickly she shot a web-line at the gun and pulled it away from the inmate; she swung it around before throwing it into the crook’s face, knocking him down. Spider-Girl ran over to see if the guard was okay; she then told him to get out of here.
And then suddenly, Juggernaut came crashing through the scene; punching past the other damaged convoy truck. The door to the truck fell down, allowing the prisoners to escape; more of this city’s more dangerous prisoners.
Running down the door, which now acted as a ramp, Smythe stepped out into the street; he smelled the air and said, “”Ah, I served the time; now for more crime.” He laughed at his rhythm.
Spider-Girl turned to the super-villain and ordered, “Smythe, put your hands on your head and get down on your knees.”
“No.” he replied. “Come on, everyone; we’re free again.” With that said, Smythe ran away. Twilight was about to stop him, but one of the convicts grabbed him from behind and held her still; now she had to watch as her mistake caused all these criminals to get away.
The next person down the ramp was another super-villain, The Blizzard; he said, “The cold air feels good on my face.” All the villains were still wearing their suits, the convoy kept them deactivated; but now that they’re free, the gear works again.
Blizzard ran away as the next inmate walked to freedom, one that people would prefer not to see again; “I still have hope she’ll love me.” Blue Blood said as his suit reactivate and he flew away; the Living Laser got away.
The three of them had all escaped again; and Twilight couldn’t help feel like it was her fault.
But broke free from the thugs grip and kicked him away, she was about to go after the escaped villains; but Adam called her on the comms, “Twilight, how about some help here.” Spider-Girl turned to see Juggernaut, smashing his way out of a building, with Spiderman clutching onto his back; they began running down the street, so Twilight swung after them.
So while Spiderman was riding on Juggernaut’s back like a mechanical bull; Spider-Girl wasn’t far behind, swinging after them. The villain was fast, and Twilight was finding it hard to keep up; whatever came into Juggernaut’s path, was instantly smashed.
Twilight was speaking to Adam on the comm channel, “So Adam, how are we doing?”
“Civilian safety, about a seven; but property damage, definitely an eleven. We need to stop Bicep before anyone gets hurts; I can already see tomorrows news headline, ‘Spiders let the human wrecking ball loose on the streets again’.” Adam explained.
Spider-Girl replied, “If the worse thing we’re gonna get out of this is a bad headline; then I’m okay with that.”
Juggernaut punch away any car that came into his path, he even jumped up and smashed through sizes on the sides of buildings; Twilight was quick and was able to dodge the debris. And that’s when she noticed the villain was heading to the park, on a direct course for the children’s play area.
Adam noticed this and muttered, “Not good, not good, very not good.” He used all his strength to try and steer Juggernaut away from the play area. “Twilight, mind giving me a hand down here?” The hero said into the comm.
Twilight heard his call and shot a web-line down to Juggernaut, pulling herself onto his back; she landed right next to Spiderman and asked, “The plan?”
“Right, the plan.” Adam replied. He noticed where they were heading now that Juggernaut was steered away from the kids; he shouted, “Oh, watch out, the mall!”
But it was too late, Juggernaut crashed through the malls door; a piece of debris knocked Adam off, leaving Twilight to steer the brute away from the people. But that didn’t stop him from smashing into signs and marble columns.
Spider-Girl tried to persuade the villain to stop, “Okay Bulk; next time, just do the time. No more break outs, please?”
However, Juggernaut’s reply was, “You think you can just lock me away again? I’M THE JUGGERNAUT, B….”
Before he could finish that sentence, Spider-Girl intentionally steered him into a column; destruction was better than hearing language like that. The villain then leaped up to the higher floor, meaning Twilight had to steer him away from the people; and that’s when something in front of them caught her attention.
“Whoa, baby.” A baby stroller was right in the path of the brute; Twilight acted fast, web-zipping forward and grabbing the stroller, she moved it out of the way as Juggernaut ran past.
The mother of the baby in the stroller only managed to say, “Thank you.” As Spider-Girl web-zipped towards Juggernaut again.
The hero said, “Don’t scare babies.” Before punching him in the face, causing them both to fall off the higher levels, back down to the ground floor.
But when the brute got back up, Spider-Girl landed on his back again as he started running away once more; now they were heading for the other entrance to the mall.
Outside the building, Diamond Tiara was on getting into her new car; she had just passed her driving test and her mother had bought her a car to say ‘well done’. She was on the phone to Silver Spoon, her assistant at the news company she owns.
“You know, Silver Spoon; maybe I’ve been too hard on Spiderman. In my mind, I think he's a responsible, heroic….”
Before she could finished that sentence, Juggernaut came crashing through the mall’s entrance, and he smashed right into Diamond Tiara’s car; Twilight was still on his back, and Adam was swinging on his webs after them.
“….maniac, a no good jerk, and a menace to this city. Put that in our next article!” Diamond Tiara cried.
Spiderman jumped let go of his web and landed next to Twilight; “Okay, enough is enough, we need to stop this guy now.” But that’s when Adam noticed where they were heading next; an old chemical factory.
“Time to heat things up!” Juggernaut shouted; before running faster into what looked like and giant chemical pumper. Adam acted fast, he threw Twilight of the brute, sending her up to the wall of the building; while he and the villain crashed into the machine, causing and large explosion.
The destruction didn’t stop there; Twilight watched from her vantage point, Juggernaut kept running, with Spiderman still holding onto him.
The two of them crashed into a building, Spider-Girl swung down to the ground; she looked into the hole that the villain had just made, she muttered, “Spiderman? Are you okay?” but there was no answer; aside from the sounds of flames from the recent blast, all was too quiet. “Spide….”
Before she could finish, Adam went flying right past her; crashing into another brick wall and falling to the floor, Twilight ran over to him to see if he was okay.
Adam’s suit was covered in scorch marks and rips; Spider-Girl tried to help him up, but he was too weak.
“This spider’s broken; I’d like to exchange it for a new one.” Twilight turned to see Juggernaut stepping out of the hole he made. “You’ll do.” He said, pointing at her.
Spiderman managed to say, “Twilight, get out of hear.” His voice was too weak for Juggernaut to hear Spider-Girl’s real name, he passed out from his injuries.
The villain was about to charge again, this time, heading straight for Twilight; as he started running again, Twilight was saying, “Buddy….back the heck….” She used her webs to grab a piece of debris, she swung it around and…. “Off!”
The chunk of rumble crashing into Juggernaut’s face, knocking him to his knees; Twilight saw the opening and leaped forward, and began punching and kicking him. As a finisher, she walked up his chest and kicked his chin; before jumping backwards and pulling herself forwards again with her webs, kicking him right in the face.
However, Juggernaut got up again and knocked Spider-Girl away, he smashed his foot in the ground and broke loose a chunk of concrete; he picked it up and threw it at the hero. But Twilight caught it with her webs and threw it back at him.
Now he was mad, the brute charge forward and grabbed Twilight with his giant hand; he slammed her on the ground like a rugby football, which made her bounce back up into the air, allowing Bulk to kick her into the side of the building. He charged towards her and smashed them both through the wall.
Now inside the generator room of the facility, their fight continued.
Juggernaut charged towards Twilight again, but she had recovered from the crash and was able to jump over him and latch onto his back; she began steering him around the room. Right up until she caused him to crash into the wall; once he was down, Spider-Girl punched and kicked the air out of him.
When she saw him recover, she jumped back to avoid getting hit; she said to the brute, “You need to pay for all the people you hurt today, Bicep.” She then grabbed a piece of debris with her webs and threw it at him, knocking him back slightly
Juggernaut replied, “No, I am the strongest person in the world; you have no right to just lock me away!”
The villain knocked her to the ground, he then tried to crush her under his giant fist; however, she caught it before it hit her, and she used all her spider-strength to push it away.
“Just except that what you’ve been doing is wrong and spend a few years in Rykers to pay for your crimes. If you come in quietly, maybe we can cut some kind of deal with the police.” Twilight explained.
“Never!” was his reply.
Spider-Girl grabbed another chunk of rubble and threw it at Juggernaut, it hit him hard; she started punching and kicking him, and with one final kick, he was pushed against the wall. The villain sat against the wall, but notice a crate next to him; he grabbed it and threw it at the hero.
She dodged the attack and landed in front of the villain, who had already got back up and was ready to charge again; and just as he did, Twilight jumped over him and latched onto him again. The two of them ran out of the first hole in the wall that was made and stopped outside, in front of where Adam was sitting.
To finish this guy off; Spider-Girl jumped off him and latched a web onto him, she swung around the brute before delivering a power kick to the back of his head. This caused Juggernaut to land face first on the concrete floor; his helmet should have protected him, but he was weak from the fight, he was out cold.
When the fight was finished, Twilight ran over to see if Adam was okay; he was starting to get back up where vans started arriving. Around five black van pulled up to the scene, and emerging from those vans were what looked like soldiers; wearing red body armour.
“Did Sable get an upgrade?” Twilight asked.
Spiderman replied, “I don’t think that’s Sable.”
The logo on the side of the black vans matched the sign on the side of the building site they were at, ‘Roxxon’.
The red soldiers were holding Sable-like weapons, and they were all aiming their guns at the Juggernaut; from the third van, came a woman, she looked like she was in charge. The woman noticed the two heroes and went over to introduce herself.
“Hello, my name is Phyllis Cloverleaf; CEO of Roxxon.”
Spiderman shook her hand; but he then turned the attention back to Juggernaut, “Sorry, I think our ball landed in your yard.”
But Phyllis replied, “Not a problem, you actually did us a favour; we were planning to tear this building down to put up something new, and now we have a head start.” She looked at the brute and explained, “You two can be on your way, and we’ll hold this one for the police.”
With that said, she walked away; so Spiderman and Spider-Girl made their move, they started web-swinging away.
Just as the sun was going down, Adam and Twilight were sitting on the ledge of a rooftop; not wearing their masks, just staring at the city.
“Adam, about today, I’m sorry.” Twilight stated.
Spidey rested his hand on her shoulder and said, “It okay, these things happen; so some bad guys got away, we caught them once, we can do it get.” He then remembered something he had to tell her.
“Which brings me to the reason we need to talk; I’m not going to be around for the next couple of weeks.” Adam explained.
Twilight noticed him saying this, she then replied, “What? Why?”
“Me and Fluttershy are gonna take a little vacation; it’s sort of a delayed honeymoon.”
Having mixed thoughts about this, Twilight replied, “I don’t know if I can do this job on my own; especially with most of our friends out of town.” Adam knew what she meant; most of the Mane 7 had taken little trips of their own.
Rainbow Dash went to see Soarin in Manehattan, and she took Pinkie Pie with her. Rarity had accepted an invitation to spend the next two weeks with Fancypants in Las Pegasus. Applejack was still in town, but she’d requested some time away from the whole ‘super-hero super-villain’ thing.
“Where are you and Fluttershy going?” Twilight asked.
Adam replied, “I’m taking her to see Earth 1; we’re gonna stay with my parents and I’m going to show her where I grew up.” He noticed that she was worried about this, so he tried to cheer her up, “Hey, don’t forget, you’ve still got Spike and Sunset here to help you; don’t worry, you’ll be fine.” He then pulled something out of his pocket, “And take this.”
It was a small device that linked to the communicator in Twilight’s mask, “With this, you’ll be able to call me, even if I’m in another dimension. Just in case you need some friendly neighbourhood advice.”
Twilight replied, “Thank you Adam, for teaching me everything I know about being a spider.”
“No worries.” He replied. “Well I better get home and finish packing; see ya round, spider.” He stood up and put his mask back on, “Canterlot’s only spider.” Spiderman then jumped off the roof and began swinging away.
Spider-Girl watched him leave and muttered to herself, “I’m Canterlot’s only spider.” She then put her mask on and started swinging home.
