"You know, just one time I'd like to be in Canterlot and not have a disaster happen!" Spike shouted, shielding his head as bits of masonry flew about him. "Is that so much to ask? Some peace and quiet instead of pieces flying at me trying to silence me forever!"
"I'm just glad that for once the chaos isn't my fault!" Scootaloo exclaimed, hiding behind a trash can.
"Well, technically it is,. since you are the one that caused all these Twilights to appear," Spike pointed out.
"Yeah but... shut up," Scootaloo grumbled. "And-TWILEY!" Scootaloo tackled the purple filly, who had grabbed an abandoned sword in her teeth and was preparing to rush into the heat of battle. "What were you thinking?!?" Scootaloo screamed.
"Savior of Canterlot Cutie Mark!" Twiley said happily.
“Huh, so being a filly means you’re born with a death wish,” Wall Breaker said as he grabbed Twiley and Scootaloo and pulled them back behind the safety of the overturned fruit stand he’d positioned himself behind.
“Its not a death wish!” Twiely complained. She glanced over at a Morning Star, her eyes grow huge with delight. “Oooo….”
"No!" Scootaloo shrieked. "You are not going out there!"
"You know, you are no funny alternate dimensional Scootaloo!" Twiley complained. "My Scootaloo would have rushed out there and-"
BOOM!
Twiley, Scootaloo, Wall Breaker and Spike stared at the large slab of concrete that had smashed down only a foot away from them.
"Ended up a bloody smear the moment she went out into this?" Spike asked.
"... I could have totally dodged it!"
"How can you be so pigheaded and not even concerned about... I owe Miss Rarity and Miss Applejack a huge apology, don't I?"
"Pretty much," Spike stated.
"Give up now!" Coltson shouted from the dumpster he was hiding behind. "We have you surrounded!" He poked his head up, only to duck down when Twiock threw a gargoyle statue at him (and not the good kind that are voiced by Keith David… that man is a gift). The guards that hadn't run off looked at Coltson and silently wondered if they shouldn't ask 'Who is this 'we' you speak of, we are just a traveling group of circus performers'. The villainess they were facing grabbed a chariot and tossed it at the guard, the few remaining soldiers scurrying away with their tails tucked between their legs.
"Cowards!" Captain Sparkle shouted before rushing towards her enemy, her sword pulsing with magic. “FOR EQUESTRIA!”
Doc Twiock laughed, casually lowering herself to the ground even as she batted the leader of Luna's Rangers to the side. Three of her tentacles began lashing out at Cadence and Shining, who were attempting to get close enough to fire a blast of magic at her, while the fourth had reached into a bakery and grabbed a cup of coffee, bringing it over to the mad mare. "You honestly think you peons can do a thing to stop me?" Twiock took a sip of her coffee, frowning for a moment before her fourth tentacle brought over some cream, which she added to the coffee. Taking another sip and finding it now to her satisfaction, Twiock smiled slightly even as her tentacles grabbed Cadence and began to toss her about like we was a ragdoll. "Do not be absurd." She swung the pink alicorn at Captain Sparkle, once more forcing the warrior down. "Your feeble brains lack the ability to comprehend my genius, let alone find a way to stop it."
"You'd be surprised what I can comprehend," Captain Sparkle said, firing a bolt of magic at a manhole cover and lifting it up. The disc rocketed towards the back of Twiock's head, only for the evil Twilight to catch it with one of her clawed tentacles and crush it like it was a paper cup.
"You look like me but you are not me," Twiock said coolly. "A clone, perhaps, but an inferior one. You are all attack and battle and fail to use your frontal lobe as anything more than something to keep your thick skull from caving in." She turned and gave Captain Sparkle a dismissive snort, using one of her tentacles to flick her away like a discarded soda can. “You are nothing more than a paper tiger against a storm.”
"And I thought my sister was wordy," Shining muttered, firing a blast of magic at the villainess, only for her to easily defect it with her tentacles.
"You uneducated baboon," Twiock said dryly, "do you think I did not come prepared to fight magic users? My tentacles are made from the finest magic-resistant steel in all of Equestria! Even Princess Celestia could not affect them!"
"You know, normally I enjoy some tentacle action..." Cadence said, struggling to free herself. "I feel like I should be in a school girl uniform."
Shining rushed forward, his horn glowing as he fired off several bolts of magic. "Let go of my wife!" he snarled, attempting to buck Twiock in the face, only to be batted away for his trouble. "I don't want to hurt you, Twilight, but I will if you keep manhandling... or ponyhandling... or tentacle handling I guess... uh... if you keep doing what you are doing!" His magic flared and much like Twilight did when she was in a fury his mane began to sizzle.
"Your wife?" Twiock said with muted curiosity. Her fourth tentacle lowered her sunglasses and Twiock stared at Shining for a moment before smirking. "Of course... how utterly foolish of me! It is clear that this dimension is not my own!" She put her sunglasses back on, two of the tentacles raising her up. Her fourth tentacle grabbed onto a street lamp and used it like a club to send Shining flying across the road. His body crashed into a bridal shop, the mannequins falling on top of him. Twiock 'walked' towards Shining's fallen form, her third tentacle still clutching Cadence while the fourth reached through the window and forced Shining to look her in the eye. "That explains why you are attempting to fight me and not cowering behind that rag my Shining Armor publishes lambasting that fool Spider-Mare."
"Yeah, goodie for him," Shining grunted, firing off another blast right in Twiock's face. The villain stumbled back, dropping Cadence and snarling in pain. Shining raced past her, pausing only to buck her in the face, before hurrying over to the dazed Cadence and dragging her behind an overturned chariot.
Twiock looked at her broken sunglasses, a bit of blood oozing down her forehead. "That is going to cost you a rib, you odious malcontent!" Twiock shouted.
"Dang, girl!" Zapapple said, popping up in front Twiock and bucking her in the chest. "Listen, I get yar anger! All these horny ponies got my hat all twisted too, but ya don't see me runnin' around like a weasel in a hen house!"
"We get it, your rural!" Spike shouted.
"You insufferable odious daughter of a woman of ill-character!" Twiock bellowed.
"I think that Shinin' Armor was right: ya did swallow one of them word books!"
"A dictionary is what you speak," Twicora said, throwing a bottle at Twiock when she attempted to crush Zapapple. The glass shattered and a pale green mist swirled around the tentacled attacker. Twiock began to cough, her eyes watering as the foul fumes assaulted her senses. "Let us take her now, while she is weak!"
Two metal appendages burst out of the cloud, lashing out and striking the two other Twilights. "I am never weak, my primitive sisters," Twiock snorted, coughing slightly as she tried to clear her lungs of Twicora's gas cloud. "I am the great Doc Twiock and with Spider-Mare not here to stop me, I will finally achieve my goal!"
"And what's that?" Spike asked, only to gulp when Twiock turned to stare him down. "If, uh, you don't mind tell us?"
Twiock laughed. "It is rather simple: I am going to destroy all magic!"
“The metaphysical power of the unicorns or the card game?” Scootaloo asked.
“The first one.”
"Are you kidding me?" Shining asked after a beat. "You can't get rid of magic!"
"Of course I can! Magic is a horrible thing! It makes ponies lazy and weak. Why bother expanding your mind and learning new things when you can just use magic to get what you want? Magic is the root of all the world's problems and when I wipe it away I will bring about a new era of peace! Equestria will enter a new golden age... an age of the machine and of science!" Twiock reached up subconsciously, touching her broken horn.
Spike tilted your head. "Somepony needs to get laid."
"I... I have had relations many times!" Twiock stammered.
"Name one stallion you've been with," Scootaloo taunted, channeling Diamond Tiara.
"George," Twiock said. "George... uh..." she looked at the shattered window Shining had flown through. "George Glass!"
"...yeah, this one is crazy!" Coltson said, rushing over to an abandoned cannon and lighting its fuse. "Fire in the hole!"
The cannon bucked and Twiock blinked... as her tentacles were covered in balloons, streamers and glitter.
"... who the hay sold the royal guard party cannons?" Scootaloo complained.
"Better than pies," Shining grumbled.
Twiock picked up one of the cannons and threw it Spike, Scootaloo and Twiley; the three just managed to dive away, though Scootaloo did notice the party cannon had a Pinkie Corp logo on it. Wall Breaker found himself separated from the kids and despite his efforts to get back to them, found his way blocked by the villainess. "I would be enraged right now," Twiock said sternly, her tentacles slamming down on the pavement as she stalked towards the drake and two fillies, "but that cannon only proves my point! Science and technology will always be the better path than magic! Magic makes one weak and complacent... better to be strong and powerful! I dream of a world of gears and assembly lines, creating a better Equestria, a stronger Equestria!"
"Well, ya had me till the machine part," Zapapple said with a snort, leaping into the air and slamming her hooves into a heavy column. The white marble rocked back and forth before toppling down, nearly crushing the villainess. Her tentacles managed to catch the column, only for Cadence to zoom in and hug the mare tightly.
"I don't know what happened to make you so angry, but you need to let love into your heart!" Cadence said sweetly, her pink magical aura surrounding Twiock.
"I... I do love..." Twiock murmured before her head shook and her eyes regained focus. "I love my tentacles!" She grabbed Cadence's legs and began to pull, the pink mare crying out in pain. Shining let out a bellow of rage and raced towards her, only to be pinned by Twiock's third tentacle. The fourth darted about, forcing Coltson, the kids, and Wall Breaker to back away. "And I so do love the sound of pathetic pink princesses being plucked like petunia pet-"
KRABOOM!
Cadence fell to the ground, groaning in pain. Shining rose, his knees trembling, and made his way over to his wife, wanting to ensure that she was ok. He knew in his heart that Cadence was an alicorn and thus basically indestructible, but Twiock's attack had left the stallion shaking with fright.
As for the tentacle villainess, she was moaning herself, her metal arms waved about as she tried to right herself. The blast had sent her crashing into a Pottery Barn and she was now half buried in crappy clay sculptures.
"I don't know who you are..." a voice called out, "and I don't know why you are wearing my face... but I won't let you hurt another pony!"
"Twilight?" Scootaloo said in shock. Cadence and Shining's savior resembled their Twilight more than any of the other Twilights she and the rest of the group had encountered. She wasn't an alicorn... but from the looks of it, this Twilight was the spitting image of the purple mare who had first come to Ponyville and discovered the Elements of Harmony and the power of Friendship. She stood tall and proud, eyes narrowed and a slight smile on her face as she stared down the villainess that was attacking Canterlot.
"Another weak peon?" Twiock said, her tentacles finally lifting herself from the rubble. "What do you do?" she asked, rolling her eyes as she moved towards this new Twilight, gesturing lazily at the others. "We have a mystic, the soldier, a country bumpkin and a baby-"
"Hey!" Twiley shouted in annoyance. "I am so not a baby! I use the big filly potty and everything!"
"What do I do?" the newest Twilight asked, a slight smile forming on her lips. "I take down villains like you."
Twiock laughed. "You got in a cheap shot with your magic... it will not happen again." Twiock's tentacles moved in to shield her. "I will remove that bony appendage from your cranium and insert it into your rectum!"
"It wasn't magic," the new Twilight said. For the first time they all noticed that there was one difference between this Twilight and the original one: a simple green babble on the base of her horn. The ring began to glow and the new Twilight rose in the air, her eyes shining with emerald energy. "In brightest day... in blackest night..." the ring flashed and green energy raced along the newcomer's body, "no evil... shall escape my sight." The energy began to fade, revealed a solid black and green body suit with white boots. Upon her chest a white circle appeared with a green ring framed by two solid green lines laid within. "Let those who worship evil's might..." an emerald aura surrounded the newest Twilight, "beware my power... “ several green constructs, resembling this Twilight’s friends, all dressed in different superhero costumes, surrounded her. “GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!"
And thus ends a Twilight I mentioned wanting to write a story for back before I even did Faith and Doubt: The Green Lantern of section 2812, Twilight Sparkle, founding member of the Justice League of Equestria.
More on her next chapter, but for now, some stuff about Twiock's world for anyone interested in writing a fic about her and Spider-Mare
Tales and Origins of Spider-Mare Universe
Lyra was just a normal nerdy pony obsessed with humans and who mostly just hung around in the background and never went on adventures. All of this changed when Nightmare Moon decided to wage war on Equestria by first launching a sneak attack. The Mare in the Moon created several shadow beasts and sent them to Ponyville to terrorize the ponies that lived there. The first, a shadow spider, bit Lyra just as she was using her magic to blast it away. The venom caused a strange reaction in Lyra, giving her special powers: she could shoot webbing from her horn, she could stick to walls, she was stronger than Celestia and now had a Spider-Sense. She decided to become a superhero and, as Spider-Mare, defeated Nightmare Moon and became Equestria's hero.
Doc Twiock- Twilight Sparkle, no longer the savior of Equestria, never made friends and thus continued with her studies. Deciding to attempt an alchemy formula using special metal arms that allowed her to work at a safe distance, Twilight became too focused and caused a magical explosion that robbed her of her magic, shattered her horn, and grafted the arms to her back. Twilight, feeling that magic had failed her, became obsessed with science and took the name Twiock in her quest to rid the world of magic.
Sandjack- Applejack of this world also lacked friends and thus had no one to fall back on when her mouth wrote checks she couldn't cash. A bet with the Flim Flam brothers cost her Sweet Apple Acres but the brothers allowed Big Mac to keep the farm if Applejack helped them with a new invention that would purify soil and remove sand and other particles. When the machien malfunctioned Applejack was destroyed, her body and soul merged with the sand the brothers had removed from the dirt, and she became Sandjack, a pony made of living sand. Driven mad by the transformation, Sandjack commits crimes in the name of her family, failing time and again to realize that they would prefer her to just stay home and be Applejack again.
Mystarity- After her first big fashion show in Canterlot was upstaged by Spider-Mare battling Electidash, Rarity decided to take revenge of the mare by upstaging her. Using her magic and talent with gem stones, Rarity created brilliant illusions that were designed to entrance Canterlot. The gem magic worked too well, trapping the citizens in near vegatative states. Spider-Mare defeated Rarity but the mare, noticing all eyes were on her, decided a life of crime would make her famous and became Mystarity.
Electridash- Much like Rarity, Rainbow Dash sought fame and fortune. Seeing how popular Spider-Mare was with her acrobatic tricks, Rainbow decided to attempt something never done before: Piercing the Rainboom. She performed the first Rainboom correctly, but as she whipped around and attempted to perform a second within the first, the raw energy bombarded her cells, turning Rainbow Dash into a living lightning rod. Electridash is not evil, though... she only goes along with the rest of her friends' plans because she figures it will be fun. Half the time she gives up to Spider-Mare before they can even fight if she is distracted by something else.
The Pink Goblin- Pinkamenia Pie is one of this world's greatest success stories. She took her families merge rock farm and, with her cunning and inventive prowess, turned it into a multi-billion bit business. But under the mask of a calm and collected business pony, there lies maddness. The Pink Goblin, Pinkamenia's twisted second half, is a cackling madmare who enjoys causing insanity wherever she goes. Only Discord rivals her in madness and even he fears the Pink Goblin.
Flutters the Hunter- Fluttershy was always someone who didn't like sticking out in a crowd or causing a fuss. But when she happened upon a seminar by Iron Will, Fluttershy's life changed. Empowered by her new 'take no bs from any pony'attitude, Fluttershy felt her confidence grow. When a rouge dragon attcked her in the Everfree, Fluttershy felt not fear but a rush as she used her Stare to make it back down. Since then, Fluttershy has hunted out other dangerous animials, both out of curiousity and in thirst of a new challenge. Spider-Mare is merely the latest target of Flutters the Hunter
An interesting universe, for sure.
Green lantern is my favourite dc hero so yay gl twilestia
Hey sometime do you think I can write a spinoff involving gl twilight
And so, a hero from a entirely different universe with the same goal has come forth. You sir, have combined Marvel with DC. I clap to you.
3459850
I got the others but I can't seem to know what villain Rarity and Fluttershy are.
Twilight: Doc Oc
Applejack: Sand Man (best villain ever)
Rainbow Dash: Electro
Pinkamena: Green Goblin
3459875
Go right ahead.
3459950
Rarity is Mysterio, and Fluttershy is Kraven the Hunter
Are the rest of the Mane Six different lantern colors?
Now we need a red lantern twilight.
oh how wonderful marvel vs dc
this should get some people angry
So I guess Twiock and her "friends" are the Sinister Six of their world, interesting world and one I wouldn't mind seeing written out. Also Green Lantern Twilight was just awesome.
3459961 thanks I will wait till next chapter to see gl Twis bio
Also is shining against spidermare because she is against his is sister
So, we have as follows for the good guys: a crazy filly who's down right near suicidal when it comes to
getting her periodgetting her cutie mark, a rhymes on a dime purple Zebra, a farmer who is kind of a out her element, a Captain of the guard who's willing believe in magic but not the possibility of a multiverse (Still trying to figure out how she's really all that different from the real Twilight), and a Fucking Green Lantern.For the Bad Guys: EEEEEEVVVVVVIIIIIILLLLLLLL Twilight, and a Brain(horn) damaged Doc Sparklepuss.
Place yer bets, how one sided is this battle of the Twilights is going to get. How many "Spike's piss" jokes can the author make.
My question is: who's next? Twilightimus Prime? The Mistress (Time Turners'/Dr. Whooves' nemesis)? Kamen Mare Den-O? Twilight Q (yes that would be Twilight as a Q from Star trek)? Twi 10? Anthro Twilight? Miss Freeze?
NEW CHAPTER? Take these pointless gif's as a token of my excitement

Okay, now I want to read about the adventures of Spider-Mare vs the Sinister Mane Six. Seriously, those are some awesome background stories, I want to see more of that.
3460075 Actually, as the author of the series Captain Sparkle is from, I can say that she probably is open to the idea of parallel universes due to a few citizens of her Ponyville being immigrants from another timeline, thanks to a certain Dalek.
I imagine that what she has a hard time believing is that crossing universes could be so easy that she could accidentally be yanked into another timeline without her even realizing it. Plus, she was so stressed out over doing a good job with the War Games scenario that it was easier for her to focus on that to the exclusion of everything else, right up until Doc Twiock showed up as a clear and present threat to prioritize.
Great!
3460075 Twilightmius Prime? She sounds like she could Optimus a run for his energon.
Twiley has a point, she can speak full sentences and she's potty trained. The real Baby Twilight has yet to appear.
Also I think Doc Twiock seems to be the most aware of the multiverse. For better or for worse.
And now I wanna see Shining Armor as J Jonah Jameson.
I loved this. If anyone makes the Spider-Mare universe, I'll be the first to read it.
Out of curiosity, does the Pink Goblin try and challenge Twiock for control of the group? Or does she just go along with it while planning silently for the right moment to strike?
Bah, Twi isn't GL. Applejack is! ;)
3460321
Exactly. Notice she doesn't deny anything in this chapter or think this is part of the gag. As soon as she saw Doc Twiock she was like "Ok, alternate dimension. Let's do this."
3460404
I see the group as such: When just by themselves, they are like the Mane Six we all know. Twiock is a bit more obsessive, Sandjack a bit more nutty (think Applebuck Season Applejack), Mystarity is pretty much Rarity as is, Electrodash remains almost the same, Pink Goblin is pretty much Blitzwing from Transformers Animated, and Flutters the Hunter is Putting Your Hoof Down Fluttershy.
3460421
Hmmm... a farmer with great strength taught high moral values... yeah, she's not GL. Think red cape.
3460463 Bah, I don't assign superman to any of the Elements. I reserve that for Celestia. :D
RD: Flash
AJ: GL
Twilight: Dr. Fate
Pinkie: Batman... I'm not kidding.
Rarity and Fluttershy are the sticking points for me ;)
Twilight as a time lord would be freaking amazing. lol
3460321
Yeah, I know. It was either say she was in denial (or something to that affect) or say she was completely oblivious to what is going on. The second choice just made the captain look like a complete moron. Saying she didn't believe what was happening just seemed more in-character for her, though I could have worded that better .
3460693 Ahhh, gotcha.
3460471 Pinkie should be Ambush Bug!
Sweet alliteration, by the by.
Looking forward to seeing the Green Lantern Twi in action. Twiock's magic-resistant tentacles may be pretty awesome, but when a Twilight can make constructs of anything she can imagine...
3460471
Humm Super lineups...
DC:
AJ: Wondermare -Athletic+ lasoo (cowpony+honesty thing)
RD: Flash or Hawkgirl (I say Flash cause hawkgirl is pretty sad for a pegasus, plus you know, traitor)
Twilight: Dr. Fate good call
Pinky: Batmare - Pinky Pie the party pony by day, Pinkamena under the guise of Batmare by night!
Rarity: Black Canary?
Flutershy: Aquaman/Nemor? for the animal talky thing...
Marvel (Avengers):
AJ: Capitain Equestria, no question
Twilight: a more serious Ironmare
RD: Thor
Pinky: Hawkeye
Rarity: Blak Widow
Flutershy: Hulk
Marvel (X-men):
RD: Wolverine
AJ: Cyclops
Pinky: Nightcrawler
Twilight: Phoenix
Rarity: Psylock
Flutershy: Archangel?? no idea
I couild do one for Marvel (general) too but meh. This is probably overdone has is.
that moment when princess cadence said that she liked tentacles and school uniforms.
Her weakness! It's alliteration!
What...just happened
Is Twiock abridged Frieza? That's definitely the vibe I'm seeing here
Well that was a fun chapter.
Excuse me for a seconds.
OMG Green Lantern Twilight! ITS SO AWSOME and the oath AWSOME!!!!!!
I feel better now.
If we do go with the mane 6 being the different corps
Fluttershy - Indigo (Compassion)
Rarity -Orange (Greed)
Applejack - Blue (Hope)
Rainbow Dash - Red (Anger)
Twilight - Green (Will)
Pinkie Pie - Violet (love)
I guess that makes Spike Yellow (fear) , well maybe in his giant form
3460705 Well I would do that but Ambush Bug is really lame ;)
3461392 Violet is love. Indigo is Compassion.
Also indigo brain screws you into following it. So does Orange. Red does you pretty badly too. Violet is... inconsistent.
3459850 so, WHO IS Spider-mare, and more importantly, who is the J.J.J. equivalent?
For Equestria? All I heard was Pewds saying, "FOR NARNIA!!!"
What was that chapter in God Squad? The one where the gods (Cadance included) reveal that they're only at 1%? Have Cadance go to 5 or 10%. Boom Problem solved.
3461786 Defender2222 said in earlier comments that Lyra is Spider-Mare (and Bon Bon is Black Cat), and Twiock says in this chapter that her Shining Armor is Jolly Jonah's counterpart.
Did NOT see that coming.
3460463 "Animated Blitzwing"? Ah yes that guy who could be cold and scientific, hot tempered and cocky, or just downright insane with the flip of a face. //
3460471>>3460705
I will give complete breakdowns next chapter, but the Justice League of Equestria is made up of the following:
Supermare (Applejack)
Wonder Mare (Fluttershy)
Mare-Do-Well (Rarity)
Green Lantern (Twilight)
The Dash (Rainbow Dash)
Pink Pie-er (Pinkie Pie as Green Arrow)
Captain Alicorn (Spike as Captain Marvel)
With supporting cast of including Trixie Gold, the Bon Beetle, and the Martain Derphunter
Green Lantern Twilight? Hell. Yes.
3462866 SHAZAM! For some reason, I especially like the 'Spike as Billy Batson' idea. The original version, anyway, and not the God-I-want-to-punch-that-kid New 52 version.
And Trixie as Booster Gold, of course.
OMG, I love you, Green Lantern!
TRIXIE! BUCKING! GOLD!!! Who put you up to this? It was Dash, wasn't it?! Dash, get back here so Trixie can make you uglier than you already are!
3462866 Wait, shouldn't Lyra be Booster? Booster and the Beetle are basically butt-buddies after all. ;)
Loving Pervy Cadance
3462958
It seemed to on-the-nose
"In the light of day, and the dark of night.
Let all evil, fear my might.
Let those whose hearts are filled with greed.
Fear my blade, for forever more you shall bleed."
A darker variation I thought up, for a type of medieval-esque military force.
similar to the Templars, but more dedicated to creating Balance.
This is pure awesome.
I also like that Shining (and to a certain extent cadence) got to be badass in this chapter, Its fun having them in comedy situations but they are meant to be pretty competent and its nice to see that again.
NOOOOO! NOT MAGIC: THE GATH... Oh... Oh, ok then. Crisis averted. Go on!
3466078 Yeah, it's always cool to see exactly why Shining Armor got promoted to Captain of the Guard. Even if, in this case, it's because he's the only one qualified for the job.
