> Sci Twi and the Spider's Web > by cornholio4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCI TWI AND THE SPIDER'S WEB QUEENS, NEW YORK In an apartment one Friday afternoon a young fifteen year old by the name of Peter Parker was in his room busy at work wearing goggles as he was getting to work fixing up an old broken computer that he had. “Flash when he gave it to me told me it would never work again and I was just wasting time, when it’s done I should film a video of it working and show it to him.” Peter said grinning to himself as he recalled what his Uncle Ben once told him about one man’s trash being another man’s treasure. Then came a knock on the door and entered was his guardian Aunt May, she looked to him working on the computer and told him with a smile “if only my sister was still around to see what a huge tech prodigy her son turned out to be.” Peter then shook his head not thinking much of the compliment and kept on working. “Well I got to go and give the rent to the landlord, I won’t be long.” Aunt May told him as she left. “Goodbye Aunt May.” Peter told her as she left with a wave which he returned, after ten minutes he figured he was done for the moment took off his goggles and looked at it proudly. “Wonder what I can do now, maybe go on the TV and watch that recording of that episode of the Flash........” Peter thought to himself amazing that comic and TV superheroes were still popular despite the real world now having actual Superheroes in the Avengers and............ “What the......” Peter thought as he jumped hearing some sort of strange sound, “Should I......... well it could be trouble and I might as well help.......” Peter muttered opening up the secret compartment on the ceiling of his room and out came his secret mask, goggles and homemade costume that he used his for secret heroics of Spider-Man (though apart from videos on the internet, so not a lot of people knew about him or the name he picked out for himself). Quickly putting the stuff and his homemade electronic Web-Shooters into his school backpack figuring if it was something he could hide in a closet to change. “What is it, I must warn you I have super powers....” Peter muttered quietly walking out of the apartment room and had his mouth wide open as he saw some sort of portal out of a science fiction movie in the middle of the hall. “This is so cool.......” Peter could not help but mutter, he then suddenly felt what he called his 'Spider Sense' going off, but before he could react he then found himself being dragged into it, the people around tried to grab him to help him out of it but the force was too strong and pulled him in. The people stared in shock and a white haired elderly man with glasses remarked “I thought something weird would happen to that kid one of these days.........” CANTERLOT, EQUESTRIA GIRLS UNIVERSE Peter groaned as he woke up on some sort of couch, all he recalled was going through a portal, catching glimpses of what looked like Donald Duck, a racoon wearing an orange suit, a purple being in golden armor and then passing out hitting something solid and hearing a car alarm being set off. “Shining, he is waking up.......” Peter heard a girl’s voice say his vision returned to see that he was facing a girl with glasses, Peter looked freaked out and saw that he was lying on a couch and in some sort of room that looked like some weird cartoon. “Glad to see you are alright but I am surprised to see that you have healed from that quicker than it would be possibly for any human to be after what you just went through, I’m Twilight Sparkle!” the girl told him introducing herself. Peter wondered if Twilight was some sort nickname, “Well nice to meet you Twilight, I’m Peter Parker.” Peter told her shaking her hand and Twilight gave him a smile when Peter saw an older male enter the room and the look of him made Peter think of how this still looks like a cartoon. “Thank you for helping me but how did I get here, you might not believe me but in the hallway of my apartment I was sucked into some sort of portal...........” Peter told them hoping the guy would not just phone a psychiatric ward. “Oh we can believe that alright.” The man told Peter which made him blink in surprise that his story was believed and looking back to Twilight he saw she was intrigued. “I can believe it because we were walking to our house when you suddenly appeared screaming out of the portal and landed on my car, still wondering how to explain that to my insurance company.” The man told Peter which made him looked apologetic. “It’s alright, I’m Twilight’s brother by the way Shining Armor.” The man said introducing himself which made Peter blink at the name but just shrugged going with it. "So where am I, I think I might be a long way from Queens." Peter told them getting up only to see them stare at him with a confused expression. "Queens, New York?" Peter told them only for them to keep looking confused. "Sorry I never heard of those places, you are here in the city of Canterlot." Shining told them and Peter stared at them in shock wondering if he was sent to another planet or something. Peter then looked down thinking that he was a long way from his home and any minute his Aunt May could get home and realise that he was not there. Looking concerned at his saddened expression Twilight pulled him into a comforting hug which made him lighten up a bit and gave her a grateful smile. "Thanks for helping me but I wonder how I am going to get home, I have my classes at Midtown Science High and my Aunt May will be worried sick once she finds out that I am not home..." Peter muttered and while Twilight was a bit excited that Peter maybe into science like her she was still feeling sorry for this boy that came here inexplicably. "Don't sweat it Peter, we can help you any way we can." Shining told him putting a hand on his shoulder, "You can stay here in a spare room we have and I can make arrangements for you to be allowed here and be enrolled at Twilight's school at Crystal Prep until we can track down your aunt and get you home." Shining told him and Peter lightened up at the mention that this meant he had a place to stay in the mean time. Twilight helped him up and told him she can show him her room and Peter followed her. "Don't get up to any funny business with my sister Peter." Warned Shining coldly to his ear and Peter gave him a frightful nod as he followed Twilight up the stairs. They saw a purple and green dog and Twilight told him that was her pet Spike, and Peter gave him a slight clap on the head. "Well this is my room!" Twilight told him and Peter was amazed at all the science books and science trophies there were, he was now meeting a girl who was a science nerd like him. Well there were definitely girls at Midtown but none he could really be a nerd like him and his best friend Ned, well except for Michelle but he didn't talk to her much. "This is amazing, I am really into science myself as I have studied thesis written by Bruce Banner, Howard Stark, Helen Cho..." Peter told her dropping his backpack (that he picked up from the side of the couch) but before Twilight could ask about the people he just mentioned Spike went into his backpack and the stuff inside fell out. Peter panicked as Twilight picked up his Spider-Man suit and asked "where you about to go to a costume party or something?" Peter let out a grateful sigh as he was about to use that excuse when Twilight dropped the costume also noticing his Web-Shooters and then a scrapbook marked "WORLD'S SUPERHEROES". Peter especially panicked as he realised it was his scrapbook of newspaper articles about superpowered incidents in the world, his Uncle Ben helped him get it started when Tony Stark first became Iron Man. Peter was about to take when he accidentally dropped it and it opened up at an article. Twilight's eyes widened at it and then picked it up to have a look inside before Peter could stop her. "Twilight I can explain..." Peter told her softly not sure that he actually can as Twilight looked through the headlines: 'I AM IRON MAN!' - TONY STARK GREEN MONSTER SIGHTING DISASTER AT STARK EXPO WEIRDNESS IN NEW MEXICO THE BATTLE OF NEW YORK: HEROES THWART ALIEN INVIASION IRON MAN AND IRON PATRIOT SAVES PRESIDENT ELLIS FROM THE REAL MANDARIN THOR BATTLE IN LONDON HYDRA REVEALED TO THE WORLD IRON MAN FIGHTS HULK IN AFRICA AVENGERS STOPS ULTRON INHUMAN INSURGENCE? Twilight's face went even more shocked as she went through the articles in the scrap book, "Men turning into giant monsters, guys in suits of armours, a guy with a shield and someone based on the Norse God of Thunder, killer robots..." Twilight muttered as Peter got freaked out wondering how to explain all this. "Wait I think I have it, you were sent from another Earth!" Twilight said with a stance apparently proud of herself for figuring this out as Peter just looked dumbfounded. "Another Earth, you mean like that episode of that really old science fiction show where the crew goes to another world where they are evil and the pointy eared guy has a goatee?" Peter asked taking this easy and thinking he can believe it since he did go through a portal and ended up here. Twilight and Spike shared a disbelieving look but Twilight just shrugged. "I don't believe another human appeared from out of nowhere, a world where superheroes exist like in those comic books that Shining Armor reads..." Twilight muttered excited at the prospect and Peter was weirded out by how well she was taking this. Twilight then blinked and then showed him a shrine she had made of the weirdness going on at Canterlot High and Peter wondered how he missed that. "A lot of stuff has been going on at this school Canterlot High and I am not talking an incident where an online user called Anon A Miss caused some tension there; I believe it might be responsible for that portal that sent you here." Twilight told him but Peter blinked again. "So you are saying this School is Hogwarts?" Peter asked and Twilight blinked and he responded by saying "Never mind..." Peter did not think that simple school could be responsible unless there was some sort of powerful alien artefact there. "So even if there is something going on there that sent me there, how do we find out?" Peter asked and Twilight smirked. "Crystal Prep and Canterlot High have a competition called the Friendship Games that is being held there, once Shining arranges for you to be sent to my school we can go there together and investigate together, we might find a way to send you home." Twilight told him holding out her to shake and Peter thinking he had no better ideas he shook it. Twilight then realised somethign and mumbled out "oh my gosh, sorry for going through your book without you even saying anything. It was rude and I am sorry about that." Peter laughed telling her that they can move past it now and he can even show it to her in more detail later to which Tailight smiled. Twilight and Peter then jumped when she saw a web go past them and they turned to see that Spike was now beginning to play with Peter's Web-Shooters. Peter took them away as Twilight gave Peter a question face as she then pointed to Peter's costume and Peter realised what she was asking. "Yeah though no one knows of me outside of a few sightings caught on videos online but I call myself Spider-Man." Peter said jumping to the ceiling and was now hanging on it with Twilight's jaw opened up. "That's not scientifically possible; you're not scientifically possible..." Twilight muttered with a look that was adorable to Peter, Peter laughed as he jumped down laughing at the still dumbstruck look on Twilight's face. He hoped his stay here would lead to him going home and seeing Aunt May again so that he can see if it was like Narnia where he was only gone for a few minutes. Still at least he had a friendly face here to help him get home. > First Day at Crystal Prep > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- That weekend passed quite surprisingly normal for Peter apart from having to adjust staying at Twilight and Shining’s house, adjusting to a cartoonish version of his own Earth (he felt like he should have paid more attention to the alternate Earths stuff in the Flash but hopefully he wouldn’t have to face anyone like Zoom). He wondered how people got these weird names (instead of Matthew Ellis back on his own Earth, the President here was some guy called Discord). Still he got interested when reading the comic books that Shining lent him and the Daring Do books that Twilight let him read as well. “So basically this Tony Stark Guy is extremely wealthy so he can use his inventor skills to build state of the art armours to become a superhero with his own money?” Twilight asked amazed as Peter was in her room the Sunday afternoon helping her put together some device that looked like some sort of purple hi-tech compass. Peter laughed as he handed her a screwdriver, “That’s incredible; I’m pretty sure that if Filthy Rich tried that he would go bankrupt before he can even get a working prototype like that.” Twilight told him and Peter shrugged as he continued helping her. “So this thing you are working on, it’s supposed to track down these energies of this rival high school?” Peter questioned as Twilight nodded eagerly, “Okay but let’s just say we find out how where this energy is coming from, how do we even know what to do with it because from what I heard people messing with the wrong thing leads to situations where the Avengers have to save the day.” Peter told her and Twilight sighed. “We will be able to study it until we can safely find a way to use it.” Twilight told him dismissively as Peter just rolled his eyes, “I have been meaning to ask, it’s okay if you don’t want to answer but how did you change? You know be able to walk on walls?” Twilight questioned as Peter laughed. “Well I was at a science exhibit and some altered spider got close enough and bit me.” Peter told her and Twilight looked to him asking for clarification. “Sorry Twilight, how the spider got like that I am sure is super top secret.” Peter told her and she looked disappointed. “So you put together a costume and equipment to be like these Avengers?” Twilight asked and looked concerned as Peter looked down. “Did something happen?” Twilight asked wondering if this was the wrong thing to ask. “Well I was not responsible with what happened to me at first, I goofed around and I didn’t interfere in something where I could have and well..........” Peter told her his expression growing sad. “I lost someone near and dear to me, I decided I have the power to help people and if I didn’t and something bad happened then it would be my fault. So I put together the stuff, made the substance I used for my web and built my Web-Shooters taking some time to get the design to work.” Peter told her and Twilight looked apologetic but he just gave a smile in return. Then came in the room was a smiling pink haired woman followed by Shining, “Nice to see you Cadence.” Twilight told her as she shared a hug with her. “This is Peter and Peter this is Cadence, she is the Dean at Crystal Prep.” Twilight said introducing the two to eachother and Cadence gave Peter her hand to shake which he accepted. “So nice to meet your Mr Parker, Shining was telling me on the phone about he and Twilight taking you in, I hope to see you on Monday so we can get you sorted out to your classes plus a short test.” Cadence told him and Peter was wondering how formal she was and how close Twilight seemed to be to her school’s dean, “So what school did you come from Peter?” Cadence asked in a formal tone of voice which made Peter forget he was speaking to a faculty member of a school he is going to. “Midtown Science High, it’s a science based high school where I am from but it’s kind of far away and I somehow got lost to here.” Peter explained deciding to choose his words carefully since he didn’t know how Shining explained to her he appearing out of nowhere and landing on his car. “Well looks like you might have chosen the right new friend as Twilight likes science herself, see you on Monday and I will leave you to your fun.” Cadence said leaving with a wink and Shining giving Peter a knowing glare which made him gulp. Twilight sighed at the thought of how Peter will fit in at Crystal Prep but it seemed that Peter did not notice it. They continued working on Twilight’s device until it was completed, “All set to use Peter, we will explore the mysteries of that school soon enough!” Twilight told Peter and he decided to take her word for it at the moment. The next morning Peter (wearing an old Crystal Prep uniform that Shining had given him) joined Twilight on the school bus and he from the looks the students were giving Twilight he could already guessed she was not exactly popular among her classmates. There were mutterings about the new boy especially when he sat next to Twilight, “So not exactly the popular girl, are you?” Peter asked Twilight hesitantly and she gave a slight nod. “Hey sorry for making you feed bad by asking but I was never popular myself, even going to the science High School I went to, the other prodigies there are actually academic rivals to me instead of friends, well most of them anyway.” Peter told her and she gave him a smile. Peter saw that Twilight brought out a book to read on the school bus so he decided to take out his music player and put in the headphones to listen to it. Peter closed his eyes and was humming the words, he was not the biggest rap fan but rap songs made about superheroes was something he could get behind. He then felt his headphone being pulled out and saw a girl on the seat behind him had pulled them out and took a listen to it herself. “So you like rap huh, I prefer more rocking music myself but that’s just me.” The girl said excited as she took his hand and shook it vigorously, “I’m Lemon Zest and I hope we can get along just fine new boy!” the girl told him giving him back his headphones. Peter turned to Twilight with a weirded out kind of look and she laughed saying “don’t mind her, Lemon Zest is always kind of like that.”Twilight told her and Peter just sighed thinking it was still better than dealing with Flash. When the bus arrived at the school Peter was off first and he felt his Spider-Sense going off and then jumped and helped Twilight off the bus missing one girl who had put her leg out to trip her to the bewilderment of Twilight and the others. “Extra enhanced senses which allow me to sense danger before they happen; it’s one of the abilities I got from being bit by the spider........” Peter whispered to her and she seemed to accept it. Cadence came up to them and asked Peter to follow her so they can get him sorted at an office, Peter gulped as he followed him. There Peter was asked to take a general test on various subjects like science and physics. It felt really easy for him and after waiting for his test to be looked over he was called to the Principal’s office which made him gulp like that. Upon seeing Principal Cinch sitting at her desk made her look threatening to Peter and he gulped as she looked at his test, “I must say that you perform quite admirably on your test Mr Parker, so you are fifteen on the forms that Mr Armor filled in for you?” Principal Cinch asked and Peter gave a short nod. “Well I will be putting you with the year up from you so you will be in the same class as my star pupil Twilight Sparkle.” Principal Cinch told him and Peter blinked in surprise, “Yes I hope with your combined talents the Friendship Games will be claimed as a victory for our school once again.” Principal Cinch told him and then gave him his new schedule as he took it and left. He went out to see that Twilight was waiting for him outside and he showed his scheduled to her and she blinked in surprise, “You will be in the same class as me?” Twilight blinked in surprise and Peter nodded to the year older girl. They then began walking to their first class as Peter decided to ask something. “This Friendship Games you have mentioned before, what is it?” Peter asked and Twilight blinked in realising that of course Peter would not know about it. “Is it some kind of Olympics where the games including hugging competitions or things like that?” Peter decided to ask and Twilight giggled a little. “No the Friendship Games is a sporting event we hold against our rival school Canterlot High.” Twilight told him and she then sighed again, “It’s supposed to be a friendly contest but our schools take it personally especially the students here who like to rub it in the Canterlot High Students since we kind of beat them at the games as well as every competition we have against them.” Twilight told him and Peter guessed he knew what she was talking about as he had met students like that before. Before they went to their first class Twilight showed him the device she was keeping around her neck and whispered about them investigating after school and Peter gave a slight nod. Well first day of school and then we will have trying to find weird stuff at a rival one, what could happen? CANTERLOT HIGH After school seeing that just about every student there disliked Twilight for being the top student and thus Peter by proxy for hanging out with her (and apparently being smart enough to move up a year Twilight was clumsy so he had to help her by using his Spider Sense to stop her from bumping into other students every so often), Peter was a bit peeved at this but Twilight said she was used to this. They were now on the bus to go to Canterlot High and Peter was sitting next to Twilight (now wearing a light blue hoodie she brought with her in her bag) looking at the device which was according to her a more advanced model of her previous one which she finished with Peter’s help. “Not only can I believe studying this can get you home Peter but this can get me into the Everton independent study program, once I help compete in the games after.......” Twilight told him excitedly only for Peter to give her a look. “Yeah, Principal Cinch is making me compete saying my application for Everton will be denied if I don’t.” Twilight explained with a saddened expression. “That hardly seems fair; you should talk to your brother about it...” Peter told her with a crossed expression but Twilight told him to forget about it and that it was alright. Peter did not think so but decided to drop the subject for a minute as the bus stopped in front of the school. Peter thought it looked like any normal high school as Twilight looked as her device was glowing and pointing to the school’s statue. “Twilight, is this statue supposed to come alive when the night comes out?” Peter asked and Twilight just gave him a glare, “Okay, I will be looking around if you need me!” Peter stated whistling while taking a look around him. He saw several students still there guessing that they were at some after school clubs. Twilight then gasped which caught Peter’s attention was that purple energy came out from the statue and into Twilight’s device. Peter felt his Spider Sense going off and gasped when he looked up to see that a younger purple haired girl was teleported up to the sky and was screaming for help as she was hanging to the roof of the school. Twilight did not notice Peter rushing to the bushes to hide and then opened up his backpack to reveal his costumed suit, mask goggles and Web-Shooters and quickly put them on over his new Crystal Prep uniform. The students were screaming for someone to help the girl and then they all gasped when she lost her grip and fell......... only to be caught by Peter in full costume passing by a web Tarzan style and catching the girl with his arm, “I think you are safe now.” Peter told her putting her down as the girl’s two friends came up to make sure she was okay. “I’m Sweetie Belle, who are you?” the girl asked and Peter seeing at all the phones taking his picture or video he then used a web to jump away before anyone could notice him. Twilight was looking at the students trying to find this masked individual again only to feel a tap on her shoulder and saw Peter quickly shoving his mask and goggles into his backpack, “Even here you can’t resist being a hero, can you?” Twilight asked with a smile and Peter gave her a smirk and said it was the right thing to do. They then quickly took the bus back thinking it might not be safe to try continue their study with all the students trying to find Peter’s alter ego and they still have the Friendship Games to come back here for so they can continue studying then. As they got on the bus a group of six students including Sweetie Belle’s older sister Rarity was wondering what had just happened. > Arriving at Canterlot High > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Soon it came the day of the Friendship Games and Peter was sitting next to Twilight along with the other Shadowbolts (sounded more like a supervillain team to Peter than a sports team), Peter was sitting next to Twilight on the bus and was going through his backpack where he saw the pictures of the charts from Twilight's room and from the little secret lab she set up Crystal Prep (which she showed Peter) and he even somehow fit all his Spider-Man stuff (including his boots, sweatpants and gloves) along with stuff for the Games. "You seriously brought that with you?" Twilight questioned Peter with a look, "I don't think that's the best way to keeping your identity a secret?" Twilight whispered to him. "Yeah well you are the one sneaking Spike in your bag..." Peter whispered back to her and smiled at the look she now had as she wisely decided to be quiet about the subject. They heard mutterings from the girls about how Peter must be Twilight's boyfriend and since they heard he was staying at her house it was obvious what they were getting up to. Twilight and Peter blushed at the idea of that but decided to try and ignore it. Peter found his phone in his bag and deleted some heard voicemails on it like some from Ned and his Aunt May but kept one of them that came from his Uncle Ben. He sighed looking at it, "Are you alright Peter?" Twilight asked Peter putting a hand on his shoulder, who jumped as he put his phone away and told her he was just fine. "If you don't want to make people think you two are going out, you are being pretty bad at this with how you two are never apart." stated the girl Sugarcoat bluntly from a nearby seat who both blushed as they began spitting out denials. Soon the Bus was there at Canterlot High and they all went out. Twilight dragged Peter to the statue as more of the strange energy seemed to be going into the device, "so are you sure the statue is not some gargoyle?" Peter asked as Twilight shook her head with a sigh. "I would like to fight a gargoyle myself, I may have helped people and stopped a robber or two but I have not actually faced actual villains before. I bet if I had a rogues gallery it would have a man made out of bees or how about an evil chameleon..." Peter whispered to her who gave him a blank look. "You have been reading too much of Shining's comic books." Twilight told him bluntly as she dragged him into the entrance of the school as Peter looked aghast. "I mean if you're going to do this then please don't totally throw logic out the window here." Twilight told him sternly as Peter then reminded her that she was the one investigating weird energy at the school and some came from that statue as Twilight just shook her head. As they entered and walked through the corridors they seemed to notice that the students seemed to be greeting Twilight by her name, "How do they know you Twi?" Peter asked her and she gave him a confused look and said she had no idea. Twilight bumped into a guy before Peter's Spider-Sense could warn him soon enough to stop and her glasses fell off. The guy seemed to also know her even asking how long she would be here but after Peter gave her back her glasses they went off. "Okay are you sure you don't know the students here, because all these students are acting as if you are all old friends." Peter told her but Twilight did not have an answer for him. Peter then thought it over and blinked when something came to him, "Well maybe there is a twin of you here from another world herself." Peter suggested and Twilight gave him a look. "On my world there is this TV show called the Flash about this super fast superhero and in the second season he meets the Flash of another Earth to fight an evil speedster called Zoom who is sending bad guys from his Earth to his one, the Flash goes to the other world and finds out there he is married to his best friend. Plus there is this jerk from the other world who is the counterpart of a scientist guy who..." Peter clarified but Twilight stopped him with another look. "Peter here is some advice to you, please don't focus too much on strange fiction and try to think more logically." Twilight told him sternly but Peter was tempted to remind her that he did come from another Earth where there were superheroes and he had superpowers himself. Then Twilight's device was glowing and showing a direction that they were now following. "If you are interested I can tell you about the episode where they fight a telepathic gorilla or that there is a hero with fire powers made up of two guys..." Peter told her but Twilight gave him a glare that was daring him to continue. Meanwhile in the music room of Canterlot High the students Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were talking amongst themselves. "It's bad enough that we are 'Ponying Up' out of nowhere which could interfere in the games but now some guy dressed as some sort of superhero pops out of nowhere..." Sunset was saying and sighed, "Maybe this guy was changed becoming some sort of spider hybrid by the magic around us." Sunset said out loud thinking putting her hand to her chin. "Well I am grateful he was able to help Sweetie Belle like that, I can't help but look at his tacky outfit." Rarity commented as everyone gave her looks, "What if I came up with a superhero costume, I would make something dazzling like a mask, a cape and a hat which would match! I mean if you are going to be a superhero then you should have a fashionable costume!" Rarity told them as everyone just rolled their eyes at that. "Well until we can find out more about this guy we should give him a name, how about the Scarlet Spider or the Human Spider?" Rainbow Dash suggested but then the door opened and Twilight was talking to Peter as they entered the room. "For the last time Peter, I am not interested in your theories based on TV shows..." Twilight warned them but before Peter could respond they were greeted by everyone in the room yelling out Twilight's name. Twilight was then weirded out as they then began acting like they know her and even knew about Spike, "We are super glad you came here Twilight." Sunset said walking up to her with Peter being forced to stand by the sidelines at how most of the students were focused on Twilight. "There is strange things happening and there is now some guy going around dressed like a costume that can shoot web, Rainbow Dash has some names for him if you want to know..." Sunset said talking to Twilight as if she was the one to come to for this sort of thing. "Spider-Man." Peter spoke up after coughing for a bit and then everyone looked to Peter and Peter grew nervous at the stares of him. "...I mean I saw the videos of that guy when he was here and I thought the name Spider-Man suits him." Peter said trying to think of an explanation on the fly. Twilight crossed her arms and Peter whispered to her "hey I came up with the name for myself, if people know about me I would want that they at least use the name I had chosen..." "Who is this guy Twilight, is he your new boyfriend?" Rainbow Dash asked speaking up and then Peter and Twilight shared blushes that did not went unnoticed by Sunset, Applejack and Rarity who grinned at them. "Guess he is cute but won't Flash be jealous?" Rainbow Dash asked and Twilight whispered to Peter to not speak up about his TV show. Then came in Canterlot High's Principal Celestia who also knew about Twilight it seemed but then Principal Cinch came and said "sorry Celestia for how curious my top student and newest student are being." Cinch told Celestia which got confused glances from everyone in the room as Principal Cinch asked them to follow her to join the fellow Shadowbolts. "Are you sure you don't want to go with my alternate counterpart idea?" Peter whispered to Twilight's ear but she just gave a sigh which said that she gave up. "Or maybe there is a clone of you hanging around, well I don't know about that because that would sound like a bad comic book plot." Peter told her and Twilight gave him a smile. "And the stuff from your TV show isn't?" Twilight responded and Peter gave a laugh conceding her point. Well maybe they can sort it out and see if they can find a way for him to get home. He was wondering what was happening on his Earth anyway... AVENGERS FACILITY Meanwhile back on Peter's Earth in the Avengers Facility watching the monitors were the current members of the Avengers; the leader Steve Rogers or Captain America, Sam Wilson the Falcon, the Vision, Natasha Romanoff the Black Widow, Wanda Maximoff the Scar Witch and James Rhodes who was known as War Machine. They were watching monitors with reporter Christine Everhart making the report: "...we continue the story where in an apartment building in Queens, New York there were reports of a strange portal popping up and sucking in fifteen year old high school student Peter Parker. According to tenants of the apartment the portal seemed to pop out of nowhere and they attempted to pull Mr Parker out but had failed. The teachers at Mr Parker's school Midtown Science High say that Peter was a talented student and the staff of the school plus the students of the school shall continue to hope for his safe return, wherever they are. Mr Parker's aunt Mrs May Parker had this way to say:" "Peter is a good boy, always had good boy and since the recent death of my husband Ben he is all that I have left. I please ask that anyone could help please bring him back to me..." The Avengers pondered this, after certain authorities had no luck with this the Avengers had been asked by representatives of the United States Government to pitch in, obviously not liking the idea of portals coming up and sucking in their citizens. "The poor woman, he could be anywhere..." Wanda muttered remembering how she lost the last bit of family she had and Vision comforted her when it looked like she was going to cry over this. "We are going to return Peter to her safe and sound." Steve told them with a sense of finality, "still I admit it won't be easy, if Thor was here I think he would have a better idea on what happened but we don't exactly have the number to whatever phone or communication device he has on Asgard." Steve muttered trying to think through. "Well we have his girlfriend Jane Foster being called in to help; maybe she will have the info." Suggested Rhodey (as James Rhodes was known as), "But what I discovered is that there are some recent disappearances; Ian Quinn disappeared from his office when he was left alone and all his bodyguards had said happened was that they heard screams and by the time they entered he was gone and some of the other incidents say the same thing. Maybe some of these disappearances were related but this is just the first one where people saw the portal. This could be some alien kidnapping plot." Rhodey told them all and they did not like the idea of that. Then came in Maria Hill who told them "There is a weirdly dressed individual who suddenly appeared and said that he could help with the missing Peter Parker case." Maria told them and they shared a look but Steve told her to let him in and see if he can help. "Come on in Mr Strange..." Maria said peeking out the door and in came a strange dressed individual. "It's doctor actually..." > The Friendship Games > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the gym soon enough the students of the school were together for a party of sorts before the first part of the Friendship Games began and Peter was sitting next to Twilight as he was reading something that was being covered by his backpack. Twilight as she was fiddling with her machine looked to Peter's book and he showed her the cover which had a photograph of a man in a business suit with grey hair, glasses and goatee plus the title read MY LIFE AS HANK PYM. "I don't want to draw attention to myself by people seeing me reading an autobiography of someone who doesn't exist here..." Peter whispered in Twilight's ear and she gave a giggle. Peter continued to read but felt uncomfortable when they heard students of CHS talking about Peter and the fact that the heard from other Shadowbolts that apparently he was staying at her house. Before they could try to ignore it however Twilight's machine went off and they looked between the seats to see portals going off. "Okay that was weird, maybe there is something weird going on in this school Twi..., Twi?!" Peter muttered but then looked concerned as Twilight's jaw opened up. "...my machine is making these portals appear, it's probably my fault you got stuck here in the first place Peter..." Twilight muttered with tears in her eyes but Peter comforted her in his arms to much more mutterings of the students and they let go with more blushes on their faces. "If it's my fault you are stuck here, I will find a way to get you home..." Twilight muttered quiet enough to not be heard from any normal people but Peter managed to pick it up with his extra senses. After Pinkie Pie livened up the party the staff told them it was time for the first part of the Friendship Games where the students competed for points to make it to the next round. "Okay let's start this tri-wizard tournament... no wait would that be double-no really wizard tournament..." Peter muttered as Twilight giggled out loud again finding his reference amusing despite having no clue as to what he was talking about. Well during the various tasks that the students were taking part in to get points, Peter did impress when he was in a group that had to try and fix any of the machines giving to them. At the end Principal Celestia and Princess Luna had their mouths open as they saw that Peter had decided to use a computer with a label marked 'DUE FOR PICK UP' in a closet instead of the ones that were put out. "Mr Parker... the technicians told us there was no hope of getting that one working again..." Principal Luna muttered to a smirk from Principal Cinch but Peter just stood proudly reminding him of the one he fixed up at home and still needs to show to Flash. Needless to say he got extra points there which lead him to the next round plus some science tasks which involved mixing chemicals. After Twilight managed to score the winning point for the round by solving a math problem against Sunset Shimmer, Peter ran up to congratulate Twilight but he seemed to be the only one of the Shadowbolts to do so. "So the jerks at the school won't even congratulate you even when you win them the round?" Peter asked appalled, "Wished somebody would teach them some manners..." Peter muttered not happy but Twilight told him to forget about it but Peter did not have plans to. Later outside Peter was on a bench as Twilight was nearby talking to the girl Fluttershy and smiled when they showed eachother their pets, "Looks like Twilight might have some new friends from this school, says something when the students of the rival competing school are making her more welcome than her actual teammates..." Peter muttered deciding to take a look at his phone and once again saw the message from his Uncle Ben. He sighed as he put it to his ear and listened to it for the who knows how many time: "Hey..." said a voice and Peter jumped when he saw it was a boy who Twilight had bumped into when they first got here. "Flash Sentry." the boy told him offering his hand to shake and Peter accepted it after putting his phone away. He could not help but laugh at the fact that the boy's first name was the star of the superhero identity of the main character of his favourite TV show right now. "Peter Parker, professional wallflower or at least that's what the kids at my old elementary school called me." Peter told Flash who blinked but gave a laugh which Peter returned. Flash asked about him and Twilight and Peter responded "yeah I am kind of far away from home in a hard to explain way, Twilight and her brother are letting me stay at their house for the moment and she is kind of the only friend I have made since I got here in Canterlot..." Flash gave him a smile and said "well hope you make more and listen..." Peter listened as Flash whispered to him "take care of Twilight, won't you..." Flash then left before Peter realised what he meant but he felt his Spider-Sense going off and saw Twilight and Fluttershy screaming with several portals around them and Spike went through one only to come back out again. Peter rushed to help as a familiar elderly man with grey hair and glasses went through two himself while shouting "oh come on, I have already made my cameo..." Peter rushed as everything was clearing up and was greeted to the sound of Spike talking. After he, Twilight and Spike shared a scream they walked away together, "okay now portals popping up and your dog can talk now, even after everything my world has had to go through this is still pretty weird. If I get home I will all probably have to dismiss all this as a dream just to keep my sanity in check!" Peter muttered putting his hands to his head as Twilight just sighed. "Now we just have to focus on the next part of the Friendship Games, a Tricross Relay..." Twilight told him only to stare at his shocked face. "Something the matter Peter?" Twilight asked as Peter decided to explain. "After getting my powers I decided to stay away from sports, you know how to keep my secret. I would love to play football but puny Peter Parker was never the sporting type so it would draw too much attention if I become one and it could be cheating..." Peter muttered as Twilight put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Any athletics, just try to tone it down to normal levels and I am sure you will do fine." Twilight told him and Peter smiled. They then got ready for the Tricross Relay. Twilight and Peter were paired together for the archery but was having trouble trying to hit the targets, "This is a side effect of my senses, it's why I have the goggles as part of my costume to help me focus..." Peter whispered to Twilight who found it fascinating but then Applejack came to help them hit their targets. However that appeared to cause Applejack to be glowing in energy which was engulfed by Twilight's machine, Peter had to use his Spider-Sense to dodge and help Twilight get to the ground. Then came more portals and out came several strange tentacle vines which made Peter think of the Batman villain Poison Ivy. Then everyone stopped in horror as a big portal in the middle of the field opened up and out came strange creatures. "What are those things; I have never seen anything like that in Equestria..." Sunset muttered as everyone looked at the monsters that appeared. However Peter knew all too well what they were and faced Twilight. "Twilight, I know those things, they are aliens who were responsible for what is called the 'Battle of New York'. They invaded New York and the Avengers were first revealed to the public stopping their invasion." Peter muttered and normally Twilight would be excited for the prospect of seeing ACTUAL alien life forms but now she was terrified for her life. "I will take care of this..." Peter muttered running to the lockers where his backpack was stored as Sunset and her friends began using their energy to fight back against what they didn't know were called the Chitauri. Twilight even cried when Sunset confronted her about messing with the energy what was known as Equestrian Magic and putting her friends and everyone else in danger. Then the monsters stopped coming through but there seemed to be more than enough to do damage. The students ran in panic from the Chitauri and Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna and Cadence were helping getting the students to saftey. "You guys are going to pay for this and for New York!" shouted a voice and Peter came slinging through in his costume and on a web and everyone gasped when they saw Peter there. Peter swung from one web and kicked one of the Chitauri in the head knocking it out, "Can I borrow this, thanks!" Peter said taking the spear from the Chitauri and then used it to push some of the other Chitauri away. The Chitauri were weirded out being in this strange new world unexpectedly and this strange individual dressed in garb that reminded them of the six warriors that thwarted their attempted conquest of Earth. "So you are the superhero guy?" Rainbow Dash asked as Peter looked her way and then grinned as Dash as well as the rest of her friends were using their magic to knock away the Chitauri. "Yep, your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is here!" Peter told her with a salute using a web to catch onto one of the Chitauri and used it to throw him into several of the other Chitauri like bowling pins. "I must admit that I have never actually fought aliens before or even actual super villains before so yeah... I am kind of nervous to be honest." Peter said nervously having to use kicks to the guy and the agility from his Spider-Sense to dodge more of the Chitauri. "Wait aliens?" Rarity asked disbelieving as some of her other friends had similar reactions but Pinkie sprouted out: "Oh I think these aliens tried to invade another Earth for some pointy hatted sorcerer who is working with a purple alien who has a crush on Death and wants to collect six powerful stones so that they can go into his glove giving him the power to rule the universe..." Her friends blinked but surged and continued on. Noticing the residents of the world were running towards the entrance of the school, they turned their attention to follow them, but Peter was following him so he could protect them. Twilight was running towards the bus but was now cornered by six Chitauri, fearful for her life she then saw Peter swing by a web and kicked some of them away. "This is my fault; I was messing with the magic and..." Twilight said but Peter caught her shoulders so she looked at him so she could see his eyes through his goggles. "Don't worry Twilight, we will soon get all these aliens under control and I don't blame you, get to safety!" Peter told her and she nodded running away and Peter then turned his attention back to the Chitauri. Twilight then ran into Principal Cinch, "Twilight, you have been absorbing some of that magic in your little toy, haven't you?" Principal Cinch asked and Twilight nodded nervously ready for a scolding. "It is obvious what you must do, let out the magic in your device to take care of these creatures, once you have saved everyone here I will make sure that CHS forfeits or is disqualified by the obvious acts of cheating they have done with the magic as well as endangering everyone by bringing these creatures here!" Cinch told him sternly. "But Principal Cinch, I have no idea how this magic works..." Twilight asked but Principal Cinch gave her a stern look at but something else caught Twilight's eye, the sight of the students running away from the Chitauri in terror as well as Peter and the six magical CHS Wondercolts struggling to get people away and being overrun by the number of Chitauri that was left. "You brought them here Twilight and Peter is stuck here because of you, you have to make this right..." Twilight thought in her head and with a serious look on her face she looked up at Principal Cinch and nodded, a grin forming on the educator's face. She then opened right the Device and the magical shockwave (that sent Peter's Spider-Sense into overdrive) caused all the remaining Chitauri to suddenly shut down but everyone was now facing Twilight as she seemed to be engulfed by the magic causing her to scream. Her hair and clothing transformed as well as growing wings and a horn, Peter was fearful for what was happening to his friend as Twilight's transformation was complete and she grinned at all around her. "The Magic is amazing, I can feel its power..." Twilight shouted looking at the portals with a grin "I can study the Magic where it came from and how it works..." > Interlude > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CRYSTAL CLUB, CANTERLOT THE PREVIOUS NIGHT The Crystal Club a night club in Canterlot that attracts a lot of questionable people especially those who do business with it. Seated at his desk dressed in a black business suit was the club's owner an intimidating man who went by Sombra Umbra or his nickname 'King Sombra'. Sombra had dealings in the night underbelly of the city. He had dealings with weapons and drug dealings plus protection ' but had connections to make sure there were fall guys to go down in case the police were onto him. He made careful sure that nothing could be traced back to him. It was a business inherited from his mother Rabia who helped mentor him and he came from a clan of organised crime leaders. He suddenly heard shouting and gunshots and sighed, "You two go and take care of it." He said facing two of his bodyguards and they nodded leaving while drawing their weapons. He tapped the desk only to hear screams of terror and more gunshots, what was weird was that he recognised the screams coming from his men. He looked worried but shrugged it off and quickly ordered the rest of the men to go and take care of it and they quickly hurried it out. Soon there were more screams and he decided to wait, five minutes later he got tired and got up to see what this was about taking his great uncle's Tommy gun. "What is going on.." Sombra said going to the lobby of his club only to see the guests have all evacuated and only his men and some of his partners were there. Only they seemed to be taken care of themselves and Sombra felt physically ill at the sight and saw one of his men who was still alive. "Alright who dared to mess with me, who was it?" Sombra demanded as the man gasped for air. "...one man..." the man told him and Sombra dropped him suddenly, he must have heard him wrong. No one man could do all this... "One batch..." He looked around when he heard the whisper but no one alive seemed to be around. "Two batch..." "Who is there?" Sombra asked panicked grabbing his Tommy gun and looking around. Then suddenly a man walked out from the shadows. "Penny and dime..."
