Spiders Stick Together

"So, what happened?" asked Future Sweetie. The future ponies and Spiders had gathered in the same spot they found the rift into Equestria's future, the heroes getting the Spider-Mobile upon returning to Canterlot a few days later. "We came here after everything was cleared, but the portal didn't open."

"It's strange... I think that the portals to Earth are closed, but I think since you're timeline is in the same dimension, the rift here could still be tampered with." Peter explained. "Meaning that even though we can't go to Earth, we can still travel to Equestria's future. I had to... Redo my old scrapped crystal experiment for this."

"He had some help of course." Miguel added. "We messed with Pete's old crystals and managed to find a way back to your time." he said, pointing at the glowing gem in his hoof.

Ben chuckled, "Well, those two did all the work. Kaine and I just sorta sat there since we didn't know how any of this stuff works."

"Cool! So that means that we can visit anytime we want?!" Future Rainbow wondered in disbelief.

Peter nodded, "Yep! With the crystal's magic, the portal to your time and mine is for the most part permanent. So, come here and you can stop by anytime you want! We'll gladly have all of you here, but we may have to explain this to your present selves."

"Younger me will enjoy the hell out of it." Pinkamena smirked.

Rainbow and Applejack looked at one another, "Iron Pony competition tag-team with our younger selves?" the pegasus asked the earth pony, who nodded.

"You bet!"

"I'll visit Rarity and kid me soon..." sighed Future Sweetie, "But I'll worry about that later. We have to get back before the country begins to worry about us."

Trixie spoke, "Yes. And Parker... Make sure you and those Spiders don't drive me insane!" she laughed.

"No promises!" Peter said with false assurance and a raise of his right hoof.

Miguel grabbed the gem and held it in the spot where the portal was. Suddenly, a vortex began to form, the crystal glowing in his grasp while it did. The future hero tossed it to Applejack, who managed to catch it swiftly. "Use this to get back." he told her and the others.

"Thank you." said Future Sweetie.

"Stay cool you four!" Future Rainbow said, being the first to fly into the portal.

"Remember what I said." Trixie scolded with a smirk. "Take good care of Twilight, Spike and Mayday."

"We will, Trixie. We'll bug you even more." Ben said.

Future Trixie scowled, but then the unicorn gave the Spiders a smile before stepping into the portal. "You're all idiots... But damn it, I can't stay mad at them." she muttered before vanishing.

"Ah'll visit Applebloom, Big Mac and Granny Smith one day... But in the meantime. Make sure young me takes good care of 'em and not fer granted." Future Applejack told them before stepping into the portal as well.

Kaine nodded, "You got it."

"I'm glad that we managed to meet again." said Pinkamena, "We'll stop by once everything gets cleared up."

"We'll be waiting." Ben replied. With one last nod, the pink mare hopped back into her timeline.

Future Sweetie glanced at the heroes, before pulling Peter into a hug, surprising the stallion greatly. "We'll miss you all. Good luck in getting back." she released her grip on Peter, and then faced the active vortex again.

"Thank you. We'll try our best." said Miguel.

Future Sweetie smiled at the Spiders, then stepped into the portal where it closed behind her. The stallions sighed, "So... What do we do now?" questioned Kaine, "The two of you are working on getting the crystals to work across dimensions, so where does that leave us at?" he wondered aloud.

"How about we celebrate? Let's invite Eddie and go to Sugarcube for a well-deserved meal. Just the five of us." Ben suggested. "Let's not worry about that right now. We'll worry about getting Earth tomorrow, but we should just rest."

"You know what? That sounds nice." admitted Miguel.

Peter grinned, "Then hop in the Spider-Mobile. I guess we're getting dinner! You two are paying right?"

"Shock no, Parker." Miguel shook his head. With a defeated sigh, Peter looked away.

"Fine. But I'm getting you two jobs."


Discord clapped as random credits appeared on the projection. "Yes! Bravo! Encore! Those Spiders are a riot I swear!" the draconequess laughed, wiping a tear from his eye with his furry palm. "Ha! That was fun while it lasted."

"Are you done?"

"Yes, Tirek." sighed Discord, "In fact we're about to begin a very important business meeting!" as he said this, he changed uniforms, now wearing a business suit and glasses while holding a briefcase in his hand, it opening to reveal a sandwich. "Our special guest should be here right about..." he paused.

Suddenly, a rainbow beam appeared within the pit of Tartarus, startling the Sinister Six and getting their attention. "What the hell is going on?" asked Electro, being the first to step forward.

A figure appeared, in the form of an alicorn, surprising the Sirens when spotted. His fur was blue. He wore a golden and green robe and armor. On his head was a golden pointed helmet, which the spikes curved upwards. In his hoof was a large staff, which glowed blue for an unknown reason. The pony looked at his wings, then felt the horn protruding on his head.

"I must say... This form suits me."

Discord clapped, "Welcome to Equestria, Loki!"

"Loki?" asked Norman.

Loki chuckled, "Hm. Norman Osborn... The one so-called Goblin King... It seems you are alive. And Electro... It appears that buffoon I call my brother couldn't even finish you. What a shame on his part." he taunted his brother.

"Greetings, Trickster God. I am Tirek." the centaur introduced himself.

"Ah, yes. Discord told me about his little game. His Sinister Six. A fitting name." Loki revealed. "Adagio, Aria, Sonata, Goblin, Electro and Carnage. A deadly team if I say so myself. But that's not why we're here for today." he added.

The draconequss snapped his fingers, summoning a conference table, with enough seats for them, as a projection screen appeared nearby the table. "Indeed. Everyone take a seat!" he ordered. The Sinister Six looked at one another before doing so, while Loki sat at the other end of the table, where Discord stood next to him. "So, Loki. During our brief chats, I came to you with a proposition."

"Yes, but I think we should bring our new... Ally into the conversation as well." the Trickster God chuckled. Discord revealed a projection image on the screen as static appeared.

A figure appeared on the screen. He revealed himself to be a human. The figure wore a business suit and had no hair on his head. "Greetings, Discord. Loki. I take it that you wish to discuss our long awaited plan at last?" he asked.

"Yes I do!" cheered Discord.

Carnage looked at the screen, "Who's this clown!?"

"Oh. That's right. Sinister Six! Meet our newest aquaintance, Lex Luthor! The longtime nemesis of that Earth's greatest hero, the Man of Steel!" he introduced. "Now, Lex. Before we begin, I must say this. I'll let you do anything on one condition. You leave Spider-Man and the Elements of Harmony alive." he revealed in a serious tone.

Lex chuckled, "I assure you. Spider-Man is yours for the taking. You remember why I agreed to this don't you?"

Looking at the screen, Discord smirked, "Of course! You and Loki join forces, and find a way to wreak havoc and chaos across Equestria! In exchange I'll give you the power necessary to destroy your hated enemies, the Avengers and the Justice League! As well as any other hero that plans to stand in your way."

"Oh, I have a way to wreak havok. I shall put as many heroes as I can under mind control, leaving Spider-Man to scatter around for his friends, and being forced to fight them once he figures that out." Loki snickered. "Not even the heroes of that world are immune to my spell."

Lex nodded, folding his hands on his desk. "I have decided on who shall be joining my Legion of Doom on this journey. We will be heading to Loki's Earth to bring him more heroes to control and recruiting more members before joining you all in your hideout. We keep our bargain, you keep yours. Sound fair?" he negotiated.

"Of course."

Everybody in the room began to laugh maniacally as the plan began to form for them. The time was near, and the Avengers,or Justice League cannot be prepared for what's to come.


"Five cupcakes and cups of coffee on the house for the Spiders!" Pinkie shouted, carrying a tray of treats on her back. She trotted carefully to the table where the Spiders sat. And she gently placed the silver tray on the table for them to eat.

"Thanks, Pinkie." said Ben.

Pinkie smiled, "You're welcome! Enjoy!"

Peter was the first to grab one right before Miguel did the same. "Dig in you guys!" Peter said. Ben, Kaine and Eddie picked one up as well and took a bite. A look of satisfaction appeared on their faces. "So, what do you think? Worth it?"

"Heck yeah!" cheered Ben.

Eddie nodded, "Not bad."

Kaine shrugged with a grin, "Eh. It's not too bad I guess."

Brock looked at Peter, who took a sip of his coffee, "Thanks for inviting me, Peter. I know that before we weren't on the best of terms, but I'm glad you're giving me a second chance."

The stallion faced his former enemy, "It's no problem, Brock. You've proven that you've earned my trust during this little war. You're a part of the family now." he assured.

Miguel swallowed the treat. "As long as we're here, we'll stand against whatever shocking threatens Equestria."

"I'll drink to that." agreed Ben.

Ben held up his coffee, "To the Spider-Bros."

The others held up their cups as well, each of them holding it in a circle. They all chanted at once, something they'll stand by for the time they're in Equestria.

"To the Spider-Bros!"

Author's Note:

And that's a wrap! Man, I gotta be honest. I had a lot of fun writing this little spin of mine on the Spiders and Magic series. Which, by the time this is posted, is one week away from ending its final hiatus! I'm hype!

Thank you for reading! In the meantime, I gotta get back to my other two stories that I started, but we'll be coming back to this world once I finish them.

See you all for the next story:

Spiders and Magic: Dimensional Crisis!

This adventure may be over... but the journey has just begun... You have made an amazing story, and for that, you've gained a follow!

7495795 So, we're doing JLA & Avengers?

"So, what happened?" asked Future Sweetie.

"We came here after everything was cleared, but the portal didn't open."
"It's strange... I think that the portals to Earth are closed, but I think since you're timeline is in the same dimension, the rift here could still be tampered with." Peter explained. "Meaning that even though we can't go to Earth, we can still travel to Equestria's future. I had to... Redo my old scrapped crystal experiment for this."

as Commander Firebrand might say, :ajsmug: "Convenient..."

"He had some help of course." Miguel added. "We messed with Pete's old crystals and managed to find a way back to your time." he said, pointing at the glowing gem in his hoof.

understatement

Rainbow and Applejack looked at one another, "Iron Pony competition tag-team with our younger selves?" the pegasus asked the earth pony, who nodded.
"You bet!"

yeesh: they ARE the clones of the Elements of Honesty and Loyalty...

"I'll visit Rarity and kid me soon..." sighed Future Sweetie, "But I'll worry about that later. We have to get back before the country begins to worry about us."
Trixie spoke, "Yes. And Parker... Make sure you and those Spiders don't drive me insane!" she laughed.
"No promises!" Peter said with false assurance and a raise of his right hoof.

this is both hilarious and adorable at the same time...

Remember what I said." Trixie scolded with a smirk. "Take good care of Twilight, Spike and Mayday."
"We will, Trixie. We'll bug you even more." Ben said.
Future Trixie scowled, but then the unicorn gave the Spiders a smile before stepping into the portal. "You're all idiots... But damn it, I can't stay mad at them." she muttered before vanishing.

I WANT to be mad, but this is just too cute...

"Ah'll visit Applebloom, Big Mac and Granny Smith one day... But in the meantime. Make sure young me takes good care of 'em and not fer granted." Future Applejack told them before stepping into the portal as well.

later that week...
Granny Smith: (after being part of a sudden group hug, courtesy of Applejack) Not that Ah'm complaining, but that didn't seem normal...at least for her...
Big Mac: Eenope
Applebloom: Yeah: I mean, this seems more like the type of thing that Pinkie Pie would do
Big Mac: Eeyep

"I'm glad that we managed to meet again." said Pinkamena, "We'll stop by once everything gets cleared up."
"We'll be waiting." Ben replied. With one last nod, the pink mare hopped back into her timeline.

"Thank you. We'll try our best." said Miguel.
Future Sweetie smiled at the Spiders, then stepped into the portal where it closed behind her.

later in the future:
Pinkamena: Dudundu dudundu dudundu, DUN-du, dudundu dudundu dudundu, DUN-du (starts to whistle)
Future Sweetie: What are you doing?
Pinkamena: Oh, somehow my younger self managed to sneak this musical disc into my bag: it's actually QUITE catchy (pauses) Was I singing along to it? I...I haven't done anything like that in YEARS
Future Sweetie: (gestures to some poofiness on her friend's tale) Looks like PINKIE PIE isn't as dead as you think she is...
Pinkamena: I...don't understand (music suddenly breaks out) The face in my reflection...it's not something of deflection...but this is getting scary...and that's not ordinary...could it possibly be...that the girl I once was is still...ME!!! (music ends, her hooves slapping over her mouth)
Future Sweetie: (smiling) I'd say it's a definite possibility...

"How about we celebrate? Let's invite Eddie and go to Sugarcube for a well-deserved meal. Just the five of us." Ben suggested. "Let's not worry about that right now. We'll worry about getting Earth tomorrow, but we should just rest."

so I guess it DOESN'T pay to be a hero...

Discord clapped as random credits appeared on the projection. "Yes! Bravo! Encore! Those Spiders are a riot I swear!" the draconequess laughed, wiping a tear from his eye with his furry palm. "Ha! That was fun while it lasted."
"Are you done?"
"Yes, Tirek." sighed Discord, "In fact we're about to begin a very important business meeting!" as he said this, he changed uniforms, now wearing a business suit and glasses while holding a briefcase in his hand, it opening to reveal a sandwich.

the god of chaos and the god of mischief are in the same room:

:pinkiehappy: :twilightsmile: :yay: :raritywink: :pinkiehappy: Justice League fan

"Oh, I have a way to wreak havok. I shall put as many heroes as I can under mind control, leaving Spider-Man to scatter around for his friends, and being forced to fight them once he figures that out." Loki snickered. "Not even the heroes of that world are immune to my spell."

:ajbemused: right: because it worked SO WELL when Osborn tried it...

Lex nodded, folding his hands on his desk. "I have decided on who shall be joining my Legion of Doom on this journey. We will be heading to Loki's Earth to bring him more heroes to control and recruiting more members before joining you all in your hideout. We keep our bargain, you keep yours.

"Of course."
Everybody in the room began to laugh maniacally as the plan began to form for them. The time was near, and the Avengers,or Justice League cannot be prepared for what's to come.

(skip to 0:17 to get to the relevant part)

Brock looked at Peter, who took a sip of his coffee, "Thanks for inviting me, Peter. I know that before we weren't on the best of terms, but I'm glad you're giving me a second chance."
The stallion faced his former enemy, "It's no problem, Brock. You've proven that you've earned my trust during this little war. You're a part of the family now." he assured.

okay, so how many manliness points would I lose for finding this part adorable?

Ben held up his coffee, "To the Spider-Bros."
The others held up their cups as well, each of them holding it in a circle. They all chanted at once, something they'll stand by for the time they're in Equestria.
"To the Spider-Bros!"

...and that last scene wasn't bad either :trollestia:

Overall Total 'Glitch' counter - 16

Overall, I felt this story was average at best, enjoyable but average. The concept seemed alright and all, given that it was loosely based off the game of the same name, however in most areas it does feel a bit rushed. And to be frank, the ending feels kind of disappointing. It's a bit too happy and it kind of defeats the point of how Part IV's story is followed what with Peter suffering from PTSD and all the tragedy he went through both past and present. Although to be fair, it does seem you put effort into this at your best level and you stayed true to the characters present.

This is how I think it should have ended:
-In the fight with Atrocity, Kaine gets impaled saving Peter from being killed by Atrocity and gets thrown into a rift. Peter goes into a rage and brutally attacks Atrocity, sending themselves into the portal and getting caught in a bridge gap in-between time and space. Ben volunteers to go in while making a quick stop in Equestria while Anti-Venom goes into a rift back to Earth in the past, taking Jackal in his custody (as well as Sloan in secret), and Miguel stays behind in his time so that when the rifts close they won't be stranded.
-Back in Equestria, with Ock's robots dealt with and the rifts getting more unstable, the future ponies take the chance to enter the rift back to their future before it closes. Ben goes to Twilight and tells her and her friends to use the Elements of Harmony through the rift as soon as Peter comes out of it so that Atrocity can be destroyed from within the bridge gap.
-In the bridge gap, the fight between Peter and Atrocity continues. Despite having the advantage over Atrocity, his efforts are in vain as Atrocity can't be killed while it still holds the quantam energy within it. Ben catches up to Peter, calms him down and after having a few parting words he throws him into the rift back to Equestria much to Peter's shock and heroically sacrifices himself making sure Atrocity doesn't escape just as the Elements of Harmony blast them both, Atrocity and sadly Ben are erased from existance and time and space is then restored as the rifts close.
-A few days past, Peter is still in mourning for his clone brothers Kaine and Ben. Twilight comes in and tries to cheer up Peter, they then have a talk about having a second child and that if it's a boy they should name him Ben (Ben Parker-Spakle) in respect to both Peter's Uncle Ben and his clone brother Ben Reilly and Mayday butts in on the moment liking the idea of having a little brother. As Twilight and Mayday leave the room, Peter then hears Miguel's voice in his head (the latter having used a communication method similar to the chronal link Miguel used in the game to talk to Peter in the past from the future). He explains that the gaps between Earth and Equestria are not fully closed just yet and that they only have a few hours to talk. Peter thanks Miguel for all that he's done for him and they share a few parting words to each other. Miguel mentions to Peter seeing records of a Scarlet Spider in Earth's past in a costume identical to Kaine's, giving Peter some hope that one of his brothers is still alive. They then spend the remainder of the time they have left to talk before the bridge between Earth and Equestria closes again talking about quantum physics.
-On Earth in the past, it turns out that Kaine had indeed survived and is now spending the remainder of his life living in New York as the masked vigilante Scarlet Spider (taking the name to honor his fallen brother). Meanwhile Anti-Venom finally takes his revenge on Sloan for controlling him, the latter tries to make an excuse on why he did it and that Brock should be thanking him, to which Brock replies "Let me show you just how GRATEFUL I AM!!!". The scene then cuts leaving it ambiguous and up to speculation on whether Brock killed Sloan or not.

Other than that, this story was a good read. I hope you improve well on your later stories. I am particular looking forward to that Justice League crossover.

7495795 Thank you! I hope I won't disappoint!

7495816 Next up, the Avengers and JLA are coming to Equestria!

7495905 I'm glad you enjoyed the ending. I could totally see young Pinkie mellow out her future self.

7496435 Thanks for the honest critique. And I have to admit, that is a better ending than what I came up with! But I assure you, I will make sure that we get to Part IV and Peter's character arc there. I just wanted to give him a small win for now considering his next battles. And I have a different idea for Kaine and Ben, but that will have to wait till After the Crisis. I'll be getting to the next story in about a month and it will be bigger and better! This was just something I wrote in preparation for the final act of Part IV, and I knew I couldn't top the main series.

And here's a little idea I have in mind for the sequel as a little thanks for everyone who checked out the story:

:pinkiehappy: :twilightsmile: :yay: :raritywink: :pinkiehappy: :coolphoto: :rainbowkiss: :rainbowwild: :moustache: :scootangel: :ajsmug: :raritystarry: :coolphoto: :pinkiehappy: :twilightsmile: :yay: :raritywink: :pinkiehappy:

I could totally see young Pinkie mellow out her future self.

glad to hear it; oh, and in case your wondering how "young Pinkie" a) got her hooves on the "Doctor Who" theme song *hence the "dudundu" and whistling* and b) managed to sneak the disc, along with a photo and a note that basically said: "Dear future me: here's something to help you remember the happy times. Love, your younger self" *though I'll admit to forgetting to mention that earlier*, into her future self's bag, well...it's Pinkie Pie...

7496859 :pinkiesmile: Well while you may not be anywhere near Maximus' level of writing, the fact you took the time to make this spin-off while awaiting the final act of Part IV really shows your dedication and support for the main series, and that's something you should be proud of. And considering the Parker Luck, it's bound to catch up to Peter AND his clones sooner or later. :pinkiecrazy:

:twilightsmile: And thanks for liking my thoughts on a different ending. The idea had occurred to me when I was thinking Kaine and Ben should be given a proper send off (and I did wish that Brock had more time to get even with Sloan :pinkiecrazy:) and just so it would fit in with continuity. But I'll wait and see what you have different in mind in future.

Feel the need to review this story.

First I'd like to say, the Slice of Life moments with them kinda goofing around (Especially the beginning), it very nice to read. Everyone's got some great lines, some cute Parker-Sparkle family moments among others. Peter is so well here, just like he always is.

Also I really like Miguel O'Hara, his futuristic way of talking is too entertaining, especially how he reacts to certain things he's not used to. I like seeing more Spider-Man lore in Equestria. He adds greatly to the story.

Seeing Venom reform is great, he's always had potential and it did bug me that the original Venom never really appeared much in the main stories. For me, if it's not Eddie Brock, then I really don't care much about Venom, whether it was others in the comics who used the persona or the ponies in the main stories, the best Venom was the original because he wasn't just wearing the suit, he and the suit were like one, perfect combination.

Seeing Future Equestria again was a nice tough, really wanna see more of Future Sweetie Belle, she's got an interesting character. She might very well be the Trunks of Spiders & Magic.

Plus Mayday's interactions with the others was entertaining, the cute little Mayday from early Spiders & Magic has that adorable personality that's fun seeing others react to. To know that Spider-Man and Twilight have such a great daughter.

Overall, well made story.

Needs a serious comb-over by an editor, but other than that, a very, VERY good story. Definitely earning an easy favorite from me.

7475241 ........Does this guy love his voice enough that can ever shut up?

7457638 Spidey: Brock, if you make another web joke, I will strap you to a foghorn, so help me god:twilightangry2:

7385667 How the fuck does a futuristic cowboy bounty hunter sound Russian to you?

7375863 Because Pete and Twi fucked like bunnies in Max's story, cause (in pecker bird voice) he's a pervert

I really liked it it was awesome end amazing
