Hi, it’s me, Adam; you’re friendly neighbourhood…. you know.

I’ve come a long way from being just a normal loser who bit by a common house spider; a spider that might have been radioactive. The city is at last at peace; I think I had something to do with that.

Lately, things have been coming up ‘Spidey’; I’ve got the girl, the most beautiful girl in the multiverse, is my wife, how many people get to say that?

Not that there aren’t problems; like my brother-in-law, Zephyr Breeze, lost another job that me and Fluttershy got for him. He’s really starting to get on my nerves; it’s like he’s trying to fail at these things.

On top of that, new gangs have moved in and they’re dividing up the city; still, it’s nothing me and my friends can’t handle.

Another weird thing, there haven’t been any ‘new’ super-villains around since Plant Man or Ghost; and I have this weird feeling, like the sky is gonna fall or something.

And soon….







Falling from a tall building in the middle of the city, Adam could feel the wind blowing onto him; just before he could hit the ground, the masked hero fired a web at another building. The web latched on and Adam began swing through the city.

“Woohoo!” he cheered.

Adam kept swinging and firing webs left and right; he muttered to himself, “What have you got for me today Canterlot?” The communicator in his mask tuned into the police radio, the hero listened to the police report.

“Attention all units, a Roxxon truck, carrying vials of energon, has been hijacked. Officers already in pursuit.”

The hero said to himself, “Alright, lets wrap this up before lunch.” He then let go of his web and fell towards the streets; he landed on the trailer of a truck that was going in the direction he needed to go, he’d caught a free lift.

Police cars were in pursuit of the stolen Roxxon truck, the one driving the truck was crashing into everything that was unfortunate to be in front of him.

“Say hello to Forest Hiker!” the crook laughed while shouting his name. This guy wasn’t a pretty sight, a stubble beard on his face, a little overweight and he was kind of dressed like a lumberjack. 

On the roof of the truck, two other thugs were cutting their way inside; the back was locked up tight, they had to cut through the metal. Two police cars managed to get in front of the truck, but Forest’ revved the engine and drove faster, pushing and smashing them out of the way.

Adam could see the destruction from above, when he saw what a mess this guy was making, he muttered, “Alrighty then.” He swung closer to the ground to get a piece of the action.

While swinging lower, he heard a person on the ground shout up to him, “Spiderman!” the guy cheered.

Spidey replied to the people, “Hello pedestrians.” Spiderman then swung faster after the stolen truck.

The two crooks on the roof of the truck had finally cut into the truck, they both dropped inside to steal the goods. Meanwhile, Spiderman had jumped to the front of the truck; he knocked on the window of the driver’s seat, Forest’ rolled down the window.

Spiderman offered his hand to shake, “Hi, I’m Spiderman; you can call me web-head, you can call me amazing. Just don’t call me later for dinner.” He joked. All Forest Hiker did in response was raise his fist and punched at Adam.

But Spidey dodged the attack and tried something else, “What’s the matter, you not a shaker? Ooh, are you a hugger?”

“I’m a shooter!” Forest’ shouted. He then pulled out the shotgun he had on the other seat, he fired a shot at the hero, and Adam only just dodged it.

Adam’s spider-sense went off, he remembered that there were two bad guys in the back. That’s when the hero had an idea, he jumped away from the truck began swinging in front of it; when they reached a clear road, Spidey jumped behind the truck and prided the back doors off with his webs, exposing the two crooks.

Using two webs lines, Spiderman grabbed them and pulled them out of the truck; he then webbed them both to a nearby lamppost. Once they were dealt with, Spidey kept chasing the truck.

A police officer walked up to the lamppost and pointed his gun at the crooks, “Hands up.” He ordered.

But the two thugs arms were webbed down, one of them said back, “We can’t.”

With the door of the truck open, the energon was exposed; the truck hit a speed bump and the vials fell from their stands. “Oh no you don’t.” Spiderman pulled himself forward with his webs and caught all the vials in a web-net, he stuck them to the wall. “Whoa, that was close.” He stated.

However, he didn’t notice one vial still in the truck, “Oh come on.” Adam moaned.

The vial then fell from the truck and onto the street; Spidey let go of the web and grabbed it. But what he didn’t notice, was the police car driving up behind him; before he could sense it coming, the car hit him. “Ah!”

Luckily, he wasn’t hurt; his sticky fingers latched him onto the front of the moving car, the chase continued. While held onto the police vehicle, he received a call on the phone system in his mask; he answered the call, his wife was on the line.

“Hi honey, I’m sorry, I’m running a little late.” Adam said.

Fluttershy responded with, “Where are you Adam, we started already. Rainbow Dash wanted us all to be here for her and Soarin’s wedding rehearsal.”

Spidey replied, “I know, I’m on my way there, blocks away.”

“Are those sirens I can hear?”

“No.”

“Adam…”

Spiderman didn’t want to hang up on her, but he needed to stop this guy before someone got hurt. “Fluttershy, I love you, and if you’re not mad at me I’ll be there in five minutes. Ten tops.”

Before Fluttershy could say anything else, Adam hanged up the call; Spidey then jumped off the police car and back onto the truck, he crawled to the front to stop the crook.

Adam landed on the front of the truck and knocked on the windscreen, “Look, I am running late; my wife is going to kill me.” Spidey then sprayed the window with webs, blocking Forest Hiker’s view of his road.

The truck then crashed into a bus, pushing the bus towards a group of people; Adam saw these events unfold and quickly said to himself, “It’s not even midday.”

Spiderman had to work really fast; he jumped off the truck and webbed the energon vial to a lamppost, he then jumped over the bus and landed behind it. He used all his strength to push the bus to a halt; right up until it stopped in its tracks.

When all the people were safe, Adam took a minute get his breath back.

Forest Hiker jumped out of the truck with his gun, he grabbed the energon vial from the lamp; Spidey saw him running away and said, “Oh right, the bad guy.” Adam jumped into the air and began swinging after him.

The criminal began shooting his gun at Spiderman, but the hero was able to dodge all the shots; he landed in front of Forest’ and kicked the gun out of his hand, it went up into the air. Adam then snatched the vial from his hand and strayed him with webs, tying him up.

While Spiderman was walking away from a job well done, he whistled some music to himself. As he walked away, he could hear Forest’ shouting, “This isn’t over, Spiderman!” only for his gun to fall from the sky and land on his head, knocking him out.





Meanwhile, across town, in the same church where Adam and Fluttershy were ‘meant to be’ married; Rainbow Dash and Soarin were rehearsing for their wedding day, which was in just a few days. 

All of the Mane 7 were here, Twilight, Applejack and Sunset standing in place as the brides maids; Rarity was sitting next to Pinkie Pie, sketching ideas for the wedding dress. And Fluttershy was standing behind Rainbow Dash, waiting for ‘her’ husband to show up.

The vicar said to the couple, “Okay, after you two have said your vows, I’ll ask the best man for the ring.” He then turned to the side, only to find Adam wasn’t there. “Where is the best man?”

Spiderman had arrived at the church, he was hiding in the church’s toilet, changing out of his suit; when he left the cubical, he looked in the mirror and still had his mask on. He took of his mask and hid it in his pocket; once he was ready he walked out into the main room.

“I’m here.” Adam announced has he walked up to the alter.

Rainbow Dash turned to him and said, “You’re late.”

“Sorry, traffic.” Adam replied. He then reached into his back pocket and pulled out the wedding rings he was carrying.

Once the rings were in sight, things could get back on track; the vicar continued, “So you to will say the ‘I do’s before putting the rings on each other’s fingers.”

Soarin turned to the vicar and said, “Thank for this, sir.” The holy man just nodded his head before walking off.

He said back to them, “I’ll see you all next week for the big day.”

Once he was gone, and the rest of the room was empty; the group of friends were allowed to speak freely, about their secret stuff.

Rainbow then turned to Adam and said, “Alright, spill it; what the heck took you so long?”

Just before the webbed-hero could answer, Sunset pulled out her phone and checked the news app; she said to her friends, “I can answer that question.” She tapped the audio button so they could all here the news report.

“What an amazing takedown, Spiderman single handily stopped the robbers and saved the energon vials; however, damaged was caused to the local area. In any case, all Forest Hiker will do now, is have playmates with his cell buddies in Rykers.” The reporter explained.

Twilight Sparkle watched the news footage, she then turned to Adam and said, “Why didn’t you call us?”

“You guys were busy.” Adam replied.

Applejack then stepped forward and said, “Yeah, but we’re an official super-hero team now; you can’t keep going out there by yourself.”

Adam sighed before replying, “No offence girls, but I think I’ve been doing this job a little longer than you guys.”

Rainbow Dash took what she just heard to heart, “Oh my gosh, this is an ego thing.”

“What?” Adam questioned.

Twilight then agreed with what she was saying, “Yeah, you don’t want us stealing your thunder. And since me and Applejack can pretty much do everything you can do, you’re worried we might be better superheroes then you.”

Spidey was gobsmacked, “Okay, now I know you guys are crazy.”

Pinkie Pie joined in with the argument, “What about when your magic doctor friend came from your world and recruited you to go fight that alien robot that loves stones so much. We all would have gone with you in a heartbeat.”

“You guys didn’t have superpowers at that point, plus, I don’t think magic crystals would have helped you against alien robots.” Adam replied.

“How about that time you fought the Master Planner; you left us in the HQ, hardly any information, except that he had killed Fluttershy. Then you went and fought him all by yourself.” Applejack explained.

Adam countered that with, “I’ll have you know, Twilight was there for that, and I was going through something, because I thought he had killed my wife.”

Twilight then said, “Yeah, but for most of that, I was locked up in a room with….” She then truly remembered that day. “Nevermind.” Sunset put her arm around her girlfriend, comforting her.

“I do agree with Twilight, darling.” Rarity stated.

“So do I.” Soarin said.

Sunset Shimmer finished what they were saying, “Look, the point is Adam, we’ve spent the last three and a half years trying to make you understand, that you’re not alone in this fight anymore.” She gestured to her friends, “We’re a team, and we fight together.”

Adam thought for just two seconds before replying, “You guys are right, I can’t keep doing this to you.” He raised his arm and allowed Fluttershy to walk over to him, she hugged her arms around her love. “I promise, from now on, I will keep you guys in the loop about everything.”

“That’s all we ask, darling.” Rarity said.

Pinkie Pie then jumped into the middle of the group and said, “I don’t know about you guys, but I’m in the mood for some Sugar Cube Corner treats.” The group all agreed with the party girl’s statement, so they all left the church to get some lunch.





The very next day, Adam was sitting his apartment, sat on his laptop; on the screen was something he’d been putting off for a while, the bills. And from his point of view, they weren’t looking good; money was what they needed and money was they didn’t have right now.

While her husband was mashing buttons on his computer, Fluttershy walked over to him and placed something on the coffee table; a piece of art she had just bought.

“Well, what do you think?” she asked.

Adam looked at it and replied, “Looks…. Expensive.”

Fluttershy sat down next to Adam and said back, “Well, too late now; it’s kind of our wedding present to Rainbow and Soarin.” She then looked at what Adam was doing, “I haven’t seen you do math like that since Canterlot High.”

“Monthly expenses.” Adam replied. “If I can sell three lots of footage to Diamond Tiara and her news show, plus what you’re getting from the animal shelter; I think we can afford, half of the rent.”

The kind girl stroked Adam’s arm and explained, “Don’t worry, honey; I’m sure we can think of something. I mean, after Rainbow Dash and Soarin get back from their honeymoon, me and the girls will be a part time band; we can earn money doing shows.”

Adam then said, “That is great, sweetheart, and you know I believe in you; but we need money by the end of the month.”

At that point, Fluttershy decided to try something new; she stood up and face Adam, she then took his hands and looked him in the eye. “You need to loosen up; chill out, do you own thing.” She explained to him. “It’s like you feel like you have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.”

“I would love to do my own thing; but that involves catching criminals and swinging from building to building.” He said back. “Which isn’t really going to earn us much.”

After Adam said that, Fluttershy picked up her bag and walked towards the door; Adam asked, “Where are you going?”

“Pinkie Pie’s house; she needs some help with the wedding cake.” Fluttershy replied. “As for the rent, maybe I can get you a job back at the animal shelter; then you can stop selling footage to a news show that depicts my husband as some kind of criminal.”

With that said, Fluttershy left; even though he was now the only one in the room, Adam said aloud, “But I like taking news footage.” He then mumbled the last piece to himself, “Besides, not everyone hates Spiderman.”

Suddenly, without warning, the apartment started to shake; Adam’s papers fell off the table, the piece of art was about to fall as well. Luckily, Adam was wearing his web-shooters; he sprayed a web-net just underneath it as it fell.

The spider-hero then looked out the window, a mini helicopter was seen flying past his apartment; with the machine guns on it, the chopper was shooting at a car on the street below. Adam pulled out his phone, to call the girls; but then he stopped and thought for a sec.

Adam said to himself, “They’re busy, plus it’s not that big of a deal.” He then left his phone of the couch and went to change into his suit.

When the chopper came back around, Spiderman swung into action.

The car it was chasing drove into an old warehouse; there was a ramp inside so the driver could get up to the roof. Once it was in sight, the helicopter began firing at it again.

But then, out of nowhere, Spiderman landed on the front of the chopper; he joked to the pilot and passenger, “Hi, are you guys showing a movie on this flight? I’d love to see Snakes on a Plane.” Spidey then sprayed webs on the windscreen, forcing the helicopter to land on the roof of the warehouse.

When the propellers stopped, Adam leaped off the chopper and watching the passenger step out.

The man took of his sunglasses and said to the hero, “You passed with flying colours, Spiderman; no pun intended with the word ‘flying’.” The guy then took out a batch from his pocket, “Special agent, Tumbler, F.B.I.” the driver then got out of car, Tumbler introduced him, “That’s Wild Card.”

“All this was a test, and here’s me without a number two pencil.” Adam replied.

Agent Tumbler explained, “You’re hard man to find, Spiderman.”

Spidey said back, “I’m not bullet proof either.”

“Blanks.” Tumbler said, pointing at the chopper’s guns. “We needed a way to draw you out. I’m here because you’re country needs you Spiderman.”

“My country?” Adam asked. “You mean the whole country?”

Tumbler placed his hand on Spiderman’s shoulder and replied, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here.”

All Adam could say in response was, “Well, would you look at that.”
> Equestria's Heroes: Part 2
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spiderman was still stood on the roof of the warehouse, along with the F.B.I agents; they explaining the situation to him.

Agent Tumbler explained, “The entire country, maybe even the world is in trouble, Spiderman.” He turned to his partner, who opened up a laptop. The computer showed an image on the screen, “This is the TX10-Super Chip; with it, you could gain access to all the banks and digital currency of the world.”

“Interesting, do you know who commissioned the chip?” Spidey asked.

“A company you’re familiar with, Roxxon.” Tumbler replied.

Now Spiderman was a little confused, “But I thought they were shut down after Phyllis Cloverleaf went to Rykers.”

Tumbler said back, “They were, but her son, Sprout Cloverleaf took back the company; now they’re up and running again. However, just because they’re not criminals anymore; they sure as heck aren’t good people.” Wild Card pulled up another image on the laptop as his partner continued, “We requested that this project be terminated, but they didn’t listen; and we didn’t have the authority to seize the tech.”

Adam raised his eyebrow as he kept listening; Tumbler explained, “Right now, the chip is being finished in a Roxxon lab here in Canterlot City; on the top floor of one of their research buildings. Lots of security, no way to get in unnoticed; unless you can crawl up the side of the wall.”

“You want me to steal the chip?” Adam asked.

The helicopter suddenly started up again, as Tumbler walked back over to it, he explained, “I want you to help us save the planet from a financial meltdown.” He sat back in the passenger seat. “Get the chip to us so we can learn how to neutralize it, in case it falls into the wrong hands; once we’re done, we’ll give it back.”

Before the chopper could take off, Tumbler said one last thing, “One last thing, don’t tell any of your super-friends about this assignment; we need to keep it as confidential as possible.”

Spiderman replied, “Okay, do get anything out of this?”

“Well, we’re told you don’t do this job for profit; but what we can do is get the authorities off your tail, we could have a word with head office.” The propellers started spinning again. “You scratch our back, we’ll scratch yours.”

When the helicopter flew away, all Adam did was wave goodbye; Wild Card got back into his car and drove away as well.





Not long after the little meeting, Wild Card drove to an office building in the middle of the city; this place was known across town as the company called CanterLogic, the business that managed most projects in the city. Run by a man called Stormy Skies; he was friends with the former mayor and had connects to people in high places.

The agent stopped the car outside the building and walked inside to the elevator, the lift took him to the top floor; the office of the CEO.

As Wild Card stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the desk; a man was sitting in the large desk chair, talking to someone on the phone.

“Governor, may I remind you; that when you want to blow up a country, or take out a target, you ask for my permission first.” The man then said, “I gotta go, something’s just come up.”

Stormy Skies turned around in his chair, coming face to face with Wild Card.



“Spiderman swallow the bait.” Stormy’ asked his man.

Wild Card replied, “Like it was a breath of fresh air; just as you predicted Storm King.”

Storm King, the name Stormy Skies had given to himself; the name he uses as the new head of the criminal underworld. When Filthy Rich went back to prison, and the underworld lost faith in the other crime bosses; the criminals of the city turned to Storm King, the new head of organised crime.

The crime boss said back, “Poor Spiderman, can’t get any respect. What a stooge.” Storm King then stood up and walked to his window, as he looked out at the city, he asked, “You make that pick up for me?”

All Wild Card did was put the briefcase he was holding on the table and open it.

“If there’s even one fry missing.” Storm King said, turning around and making some kind of threat.

Inside the briefcase was a fast food meal, burger and fries; but Wild Card replied, “Boss, you know I don’t eat this crud.”

Storm King simply replied, “Good.” He then picked up the burger and began chomping on it.





Meanwhile, across town at the hero HQ, Rainbow Dash was walking into Rarity’s sewing room; the room she used to make the suits for all the heroes. The rainbow haired girl saw Rarity working on something, along with her new assistant.

Appearing next to the fashion girl, was the computer AI person, Coco Pommel.

After the events in Las Pegasus, Fancy Pants made a generous decision; he let Rarity keep Coco, seeing how well they got along.

Rainbow Dash approached her friend with a strange request; he tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention. Rarity turned around to greet her friend, “Rainbow, darling; what can I do for you?”

The speedster breathed in before replying with, “Rarity, I don’t do this very often, but I’m desperate.” Rarity listened to what she had to say, “I’m getting married in a few days, so I need a wedding dress. So I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I want you to make my dress.”

The only thought that went through Rarity’s head just then, was a rendition of fireworks; she was more than happy to do this for her friend.

“Rainbow Dash, like you even would’ve had to ask; of course I’ll make the dress for you.” The fashion girl replied.

“Great.” Rainbow said back. “However, I would like you to make it, my style if you know what I mean.”

Rarity then said, “I know just the thing.” She then turned to her AI assistant. “What do you think, Coco?”

The AI replied, “We do have some ideas in the records, Rarity.” The three of them smiled at each other, they knew exactly what they needed to do for this.

After about an hour of the three of them working; Rainbow was sitting in a chair, watching Rarity draw some sketches. Rainbow Dash was beginning to get a little bored, she was spinning in her chair and staring at the ceiling.

Rarity was deep in thought, nothing could break her concentration; except Rainbow pithing an idea.

“Hey, why don’t we have some music?” 

However, Rarity turned to her friend and replied, “But I need to concentrate.”

Rainbow Dash then flashed a wink at Coco, she knew what to do; the AI pointed at the music box on the other side of the room and it automatically turned on, music began playing. In order to make this situation a bit more entertaining, Rainbow started singing to the music.

(Original)

“Think of your fellow man,

Lend him a helping hand;

Put a little love in your heart.”

However, they got no response from Rarity, she was still drawing; Coco then had a go at it herself.

“You see it's getting late,

Oh, please don't hesitate;

Put a little love in your heart.”

When that still didn’t get the fashion girl up and about, Rainbow and Coco decided to sing together.

“And the world (the world), will be a better place,

And the world (the world), will be a better place;

For you and me.”

“You just wait and see.”

Rarity couldn’t help but smile at them, dancing around; she finally gave in to the temptation to join in. She stood up and started her verse.

“If you want the world to know,

We won't let hatred grow;

Put a little love in your heart.”

Rainbow then took back the song.

“And the world will be a better place,

And the world will be a better place.”

“For you (for you).”

“And me (and me).”

Coco cut in with,

“You just wait and see.”

Rarity sat back down and kept drawing, all while she was still singing.

“You better take a look around,

And if you're looking down;

Put a little love in your heart.”

The Rainbow haired girl started dancing and singing behind her.

“And the world will be a better place;

Oh, the world will be a better place.

For you and me.”

Rarity then showed Rainbow the final sketch of her dress, in her eyes, it actually looked alright; all three of them sang the final bit.

“You just wait and see.”

The three of them began putting the dress together; Rainbow stood in the middle of the room, Rarity and Coco taking measurements and sewing things together. They were all still singing the song.

“Put a little love in your heart.

Put a little love in your heart.

Put a little love in your heart.

Come on and put a little love in your heart.”

When the song ended, Rainbow Dash looked in the mirror at her final wedding dress; it was perfect.





Later that evening, Adam was stood on the roof of the Roxxon building the TX10 was being created in; he looked in through the skylight, he could see the chip. However, it wasn’t alone in there; Sprout Cloverleaf and one of his scientists were putting the finishing touches on the chip.

Spidey muttered to himself, “Can’t grab it until it completed; otherwise it’s useless to the F.B.I.” This would mean, he would have to wait around.

Hours passed by, day turned into evening; Adam was just walking along the roof of the tower, just finding ways to pass the time. He had found himself on the side of the building, when he got a phone call from the comm in his mask.

His wife was on the line, “Hi honey, I was just wondering what time you going to show up tonight.”

Spidey replied with, “Uh..?” he had completely forgotten what she was talking about. “Showing up to what?” he said with doubt in his heart.

“Our concert, the Rainbooms are performing at the youth centre tonight; you are coming, right?” Fluttershy replied.

Adam quickly said in return, “Of course I’m going, sweetheart; do you honestly think that I wouldn’t show up.” 

Fluttershy replied, “Great.” She then thought about what she was going to say next. “And, I was thinking, maybe you’d like to come to the centre early and… help out, like you used to.”

Spiderman’s eyes flared, he said to her, “Yeah, that would be great.” Suddenly, a bird flew by him, he looked down and remembered where he was. Adam explained to her, “Wait, I can’t. I’m in the middle of an assignment for Diamond Tiara; she kind of has me…” he looked up to the roof. “..up against a wall here.”

Fluttershy replied, “Okay, but you’re still coming right?”

“Of course, I’ll be there at eight. I love you.” Adam replied.

“I love you too.”

When the call ended, Spiderman crawled back up to the top; he ran across the roof and back to the skylight, he could once again see Sprout and the scientists working. Right up until the worker put the equipment down and began leaving the room.

Adam heard Sprout say, “Okay, it’s done.”

Once everyone had cleared the lab, it was time for Adam to make his move; he lowered himself down on a web-line, until he was right above the chip.

A security guard walked into the room, he shined his torch at where the chip was being held; only to receive a bit of a shock. The chip was gone; and so was Spiderman.

The wall-crawling hero leaped off the roof of the Roxxon building, he had the chip, all that was left was to drop it off to the F.B.I.

After a few minutes of swinging, Spiderman arrived at where he was meant to hand over the chip; he had put it in an envelope, for safe keeping. He climbed down into an alley way, where a smart looking limousine was parked; Spidey was hanging from a web when he knocked on the window of the car.

“Special delivery.”

The back window rolled down, not all the way, only so Spidey could see a pair of eyes staring at him. Adam might have only been able to see the person’s eyes, but they would eyes he recognised; the hero asked, “Where’s Agent Tumbler?”

The man in the limo replied, “Special Agent Tumbler has more important stuff to handle instead of minor pickups.” 

“Okay.” Spidey replied.

The limo person then said, “You have the chip?” Spiderman showed him the envelope. The man reached out the window and took the package from the hero, “You’ve done your country proud, Spiderman; thank you for your service, we’ll take it from here.”

The limo window then rolled back up, leaving Adam a little bit confused; he said to the man, “Hey what about the scratching of backs? I did you a solid now I get a…” he mumbled to the rolled up window. The car then pulled away, leaving Spiderman even more confused.

“I thought you were going to tell the world what a great guy I am.” Adam shouted to them.

However, nothing more could be done here; he decided to get to his wife’s concert on time, before she found out what he was up to.





The hero needed to show up in his normal attire, otherwise the girls might get suspicious; he changed out of his costume and walked the rest of the way there. In order for him to get to the youth centre, Adam had to walk past the theatre club; outside the entrance, one of the actor was going over his lines.

The actor said to the man inside, “Tell the director not to interrupt me, I’m rehearsing.”

A voice could be heard from inside, “Well, the director wanted me to tell you, that after your little disappearing act yesterday, he wants to know where you are 24/7.”

“I told you, I had a well-paying gig that allowed me to make a fine donation to this club.” The actor replied.

“Oh yeah, the mystery producer you won’t tell us about.”

The actor then turned to the guy looking at him in the street, Adam got a clear view of the actor’s face; he looked familiar. 

The actor said to Adam, “What are you staring at; never seen a real life actor before?”

There was no doubt about it, it was Agent Tumbler; the exact same guy, but he was an actor. It didn’t take long for Adam to piece this together; Tumbler, the chip, the world’s currency.

“I’ve been scammed.” The hero then ran back the other way, ran into a dark alley and changed back into his costume; once he wa changed, he jump up in the air and began swinging into the city.





Spiderman could not believe what had happened, he just handed the key to the world’s currency to a potential threat. He was swinging through the city, trying to find the limo from the ally.

He was muttering to himself, “Limo, limo, gotta find a limo.”

As luck would have it, he found one; a limo was driving past underneath him. He swung down to the car and landed on its roof; however he got a bit of a shock when he looked in through the window.

“Okay listen.” The hero said with might. Only to hear a woman scream; a man and his girlfriend were kissing in the backseat of the limo, and the woman shrieked when she saw Spiderman outside. “I mean, you two make a great couple.” Adam then said, trying to make it less awkward.

Wrong limo, he jumped away and continued to swing around; still not having any luck with his search. It was at this point, Adam needed to remember certain things to look for; that’s when it came to him. 

On the door of the limo he was looking for, was a medium sized scratch in the paint; Adam looked a little harder, and that’s when his luck turned around. “Gotcha.” He said aloud.

Inside the limo driving down the street, the passengers were talking; Stormy Skies asked Wild Card, “What do you think is better, becoming one of the richest men in the world, or knowing Spiderman was the idiot who made it happen.”

“Storm King, he could still be a threat.” Wild Card replied, “Once he figures what’s going on, he’ll just find us at the satellite uplink tower.”

The Storm King said back, “Even if he found out, he wouldn’t be able to get past the mini-chopper. Not when the ammo’s real this time; he’s a light-weight.” Little did the two of them know, Spiderman was on the roof of their car, he heard everything.

All Adam said in response was, “We’ll see about that.” With a mighty punch, Spidey smashed through the limo’s skylight, trying to grab Storm King by his neck tie. The two crooks duck out of the way of his reach; Storm King using his cane to swat Adam’s hand away.

“Take care of this.” The crime boss said. Wild Card picked up the shotgun that was on the seat next to him; he aimed it at the skylight and fired. Adam spider-sense warned him of the danger and he dodged the blast.

Spiderman leaped off the car and down into an alleyway, the car stopped in its tracks and followed him down; Adam jumped up and latched onto a wall. He watched the latest crime-lord step out of the vehicle, revealing himself and all his might.

“Nice of you to swing by.” Storm King stated.

Adam replied, “Thanks, will I be fighting any of your henchman, or are they ‘sleeping with the fishes’, as you mobsters say?”

The crime boss just chuckled, “Funny guy huh.” Wild Card walked up behind his boss, and the limo driver got out of the car as well. “Show him what he’s made of.” The two thugs fired pistols at Spiderman, he dodged the shot and shot two web-lines at the guns, and pulled them away.

“Didn’t mommy ever tell you that guns are dangerous?” Adam joked.

Storm King held up his cane, the design was unique; it was made to look like a stick, with a blue crystal at the tip. The mob boss aimed his cane at Spiderman and blasted a lightning bolt at him; Spidey jumped out of the way.

The hero landed on Wild Card and kicked the limo driver away, knocking them both down; Storm King was about blast another bolt, but Adam shot a web at the cane and pulled it out of his hand.

“Hardly seems fair, a human spider against an unarmed man.” Storm King stated.

“Yeah, except you armed is what I don’t want.” Adam replied, shooting a web-line at Storm King’s hands, tying them in webs.

Somehow, the crime-lord just pulled the web apart; he then pulled at the web Spidey was holding and pulled him forward, and then punched him away.

Spiderman muttered, “How did you…?”

“All thanks to the blue stuff.” Storm King replied, referring to energon. Wild Card handed him back his cane, he then fired a lightning blast at the limo, causing it to explode. The limo went up like wild fire, in the commotion, Storm King and his men ran away.

As Adam started picking pieces of car off of him, he looked around to try and find the bad guys; they were gone.

“Fluttershy is going to be so mad.” The hero stated.





The next day, at the HQ, the girls, Spike and Soarin had already heard about what Adam had done; on the news, there was a report about Spiderman stealing the chip.

“Security camera caught the entire theft on tape; Spiderman entered the lab from the skylight and stole the chip from Roxxon. Police Captain Gilda has already issued a warrant for the webbed-hero’s arrest.” The reporter explained. The screen then went black.

“I am so, so, so sorry.” Adam begged.

The only Rainboom to speak was Rainbow Dash, “Save it, web-head.”

Twilight then stepped forward and stated, “I don’t believe this Adam, you looked us right in the eyes and you lied to us.”

“You said you’d keep us in the loop.” Pinkie Pie said, butting in. “Does this look ‘in the loop’ to you?!” 

Adam tried to explain, “They told me it was top secret, and that I couldn’t tell anyone. Plus, they said they would help us by getting the police off our backs.”

Sunset then said, “It was a scam, Adam; and you played right into their hands.”

Rarity then said, “And that doesn’t change the fact that you went behind our backs again.”

“Rarity’s right, how can we trust you after this?” Applejack asked.

They all made a good point, why should they trust him; he lied to them and went over their heads, how was he going to get out of this one?

The hero looked over to his wife, however, Fluttershy had nothing to say to him.

Rainbow Dash then said, “It doesn’t matter now does it, we know what you did; I think you should just go.” For the moment, everyone agreed. Adam just nodded his head and walked out the door, before he was out of ear-shot, Rainbow also said, “And don’t bother coming to the wedding either; it wouldn’t be right, right now.”

Spiderman walked away, feeling like he could never return; he’d really done it this time.

He’d lost his only friends.





Meanwhile, at the CanterLogic building, Storm King had gathered his board of director; but in reality, they were actually, what he liked to call ‘dukes’ in his growing crime empire. Storm King emptied a jug of coffee into his mug, then poured some milk in.

He looked around the room, “Anyone else want coffee?” no one answered, because they wanted to get down to business. “Good.” The crime lord stated.

Storm King pointed at a map of the world, mainly the continent that they were in, “The Great Treasury, Manehattan. State Starswirl’s Bank, Fillydelphia. Lotus Casino, Las Pegasus. Think of these vast riches as ATMs, dumping billions into our pockets, once the TX10 super-chip is linked to our satellite; the greatest digital heist in criminal history.”

One of the board members raised their hand, like a student in school, and asked, “When will the chip be operational?”

The crime-lord turned to his board and replied, in a powerful tone, “Tonight.”





Adam was at his apartment, he was on the labtop looking up reports of any criminal activity; if there was even a hint of the Storm King’s location, he wanted to know about it. He knew now that his friends weren’t going to help him, not after he hurt them; so it was up to Adam to stop the Storm King before he robbed the entire world.

While working, Adam looked at the picture he had on the coffee table; it was him, Fluttershy and all their friends, having a day out to Friendship Land. He picked up the picture and stated, “I’m so sorry.” He put the frame down and remembered what was at stake here.

Thinking about it made Adam worry, all of the world’s currency in the hands of a mad man. He didn’t want to think about it, until something came to mind; Agent Tumbler may have been an actor, put he was telling the truth about something. The TX10 is the only one of its kind; and linking up to every online banking system would give off a unique digital signature.

The webbed hero ran a data search, then something pinged up; a map of the city was shown on the screen, and a red dot showed the location of the chip.

“Bingo.” The hero said, with the location, he was going to stop this before it was too late. He ran into his bedroom and changed into his spider-suit; before he left, Adam picked up his phone and called the girls at the HQ.

However, the call went to voicemail, so he left them a message; Adam explained, “Hey girls; I know you don’t want to talk to me after what happened, I get it. Believe it or not, this isn’t the first time me being Spiderman has messed up my friendships. The point is, I’m sending you the location I’m going to, I’m stopping Storm King; if you guys want to help, I’d be glad to fight by your side.”

With that said, Adam hanged up the call and sent them the location; not expecting any kind of response. Spiderman put his mask on and jumped out the window; he began web-swinging to Storm King.





On the roof of a building in the middle of Canterlot City, Wild Card was rewiring a fuse box that was connected to a satellite dish; Storm King walked onto the roof, with a briefcase, he had quite a few men there. The case had a hidden laptop inside, the crime-lord opened it a checked the data; he pulled the TX10 out of his pocket, he then threw it to Wild Card.

“Talk about one big holiday bonus this year.” Wild Card stated.

Storm King replied, “Are you kidding, we could retire on this; and our great grandchildren could retire the moment they finish school.”

Wild Card installed the chip into the fuse box, he had to check the connections before running the system; it wouldn’t take long.

“Not so fast, beardy.”

Storm King and his squad of henchmen turned to see Spiderman land on one of the rotors of the mini-chopper parked on the rooftop. All the goons pulled out handguns, Storm King put down his laptop and stated, “I guess some bugs just don’t know when they’re been squashed.”

The crime-lord aimed his cane at Adam, he fired a bolt of lightning, but jumped out of the way; he landed on one of the crooks, knocking him down. Before the rest of them could open fire, Adam jumped up onto the satellite tower. Spidey blasted a web-net at Storm King, but the crime-lord used a different method; his cane’s head opened wider and fired four ninja-stars.

The blades hooked onto the web-net and pushed it back to Spiderman, trapping him in his own web.

Wild Card closed the fuse box and stated, “Good to go.”

One of the crooks handed Storm King his laptop, he began typing in the code that would activate the download. It looked like he’d won, until something unexpected happened; a blast from the sky knocked the laptop out of the crime-lord’s hand and it smashed.

“Mind if we cut in?” 

The criminals and Spiderman looked up and saw them, they saw them all. The Equestria’s Heroes; Spider-Girl, Spiderwoman, Nova, The Dash, Ms Marvel and Iron Heart. Nova fired a low powered beam and cut Adam out of the web; he jumped the tower and joined his team on the roof.

He said to them, “You guys came.” 

Dash walked over to him and said, “You owe us, big time for this.” 

The heroes all got ready for and fight; Storm King was tired of this, he said to his men, “Mop the floor with these freaks.” With that said, the criminals charged at the heroes, the heroes did the same to them.

Spiderwoman had four guys surrounding her, she channelled the power of her symbiote and released four tentacles from her suit; they grabbed the crooks, lifted them up into the air and slammed them back down. Three of them were knocked out, but one guy got back up; so Applejack finished him by blasted another tentacle out of her arm and sticking him to a wall with symbiote web.

Nova and Dash fought together; Rainbow’ ran fast around the three criminals they had to deal with. She created a small vacuum to pull them together, Soarin then flew above them and slammed down into the middle of the vacuum; the pulse blasted knocked them out and threw them away. Once they were down, Rainbow’ walked up to Soarin and planted a quick kiss on his lips, making him blush a little.

Ms Marvel used her stretchy arm as a lasso and tied the two crooks up; once they couldn’t move, she made her other fist grow and punched them hard, knocking the unconscious.

Spiderman and Spider-Girl shot web-lines to Iron-Heart, she lifted them into the air and allowed them to swing towards Storm King; Twilight shot and impact-web at Wild Card, tying him up, while Adam delivered a powerful kick to Stormy Skies, knocking him down.

Once all the crooks were down, Adam approached his team; he said to them, “”Thank you guys, for following me.”

Before they could talk more, Storm King got back up and ran for the chopper, with the chip; he stated, “Follow this you half-wits.” He raised his cane in the air and smoke began dispersing from his it, clouding the heroes’ sight.

By the time the smoke had cleared, the mini-chopper had flown away; the heroes couldn’t go after it, no one saw what direction it went, the smoke was too thick. Storm King had escaped; they’d failed.





The next day, the fight had already made the news, the hero team was at the HQ watching the reporter explain what had happened.

“Spiderman and his accomplices escaped, but a lot of suspects were taken in for questioning by the police; unfortunately, there is still no sign of the Roxxon super-chip. Police Captain Gilda has declared that the entire CCPD is to find and arrest Spiderman or any of his partners.”

Sunset turned off the monitor, she explained to the team, “This isn’t the end, we’ll find Storm King, put him behind bars and prove that the Equestria’s Heroes are here to help this city.”

Applejack then replied, “She’s right; as long as we work together, we can accomplish anything.”

Adam stood up, with Fluttershy’s hand in his, “Then what are we waiting for?”


> Later Never Comes
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a calm night in the middle of Canterlot City, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle were sat in Twilight’s apartment, watching a move in the living room. Sunset had her arm around her girlfriend; this wasn’t like a date or anything, just the two of them enjoying each other’s company.

Whilst the movie was playing, Sunset turned to her love and asked a quick question, “Twilight, are you happy?”

“What do you mean?” Twilight said back, not taking her eyes off the screen.

Sunset proceeded to ask again, “I mean are you happy, with me?”

The spider-hero grabbed the TV remote and paused the movie, she then turned to Sunset and replied, “What, how can you even ask me something like that? Of course I’m happy with you.”

Turning away from Twilight, the red-haired girl explained her reasons, “Its just, I didn’t want you to think of yourself of just a rebound.”

It took a minute for Twilight to understand, but then she remembered something; Twilight wasn’t Sunset’s first love, and not just Flash Sentry. She was referring to Adam’s former pet, Spikey the Dog; the talking dog from Adam’s world that came to this world via the magic mirror portal. When he stepped through it, it made him human, just as if a pony were to walk through.

Twilight remembered that Sunset dated him for a few months; just before she and Twilight started going out.

“I promise, I don’t think of myself as a rebound.” The science girl explained. “I chose to be with you because of all the things I love about you.” Sunset turned back to her and smiled. “You’re funny, smart, great to be around; and I’m in love with you.” 

Sunset Shimmer put her hand on Twilight’s shoulder, “I love you, so much.”

The two girls quickly shared a kiss on the lips, then they turned their attention back to the movie. After a few more minute of watching; and seeing as how the subject was on the table Twilight had something she wanted to ask Sunset.

“How did you and Spikey break up?” Twilight Sparkle asked.

Sunset replied, “I don’t really want to talk about it; it wasn’t one of the best things I’ve had to do in my life.” 

“Go on, I promise no matter what happened, I won’t think any less of you for it.” The purple girl said back.

With that said, Sunset didn’t really know how to respond; but she decided to give in and explain the story to her.





1 month after Adam and Fluttershy’s wedding

Sunset had taken a quick trip to Fillydelphia; she wanted to know why Spikey didn’t come to the wedding like he was supposed to. Him and Sunset were going to go as a couple, but he called her the day before the ceremony and said he couldn’t come.

She arrived at his apartment, and went inside; she had a key from when she would stay over. Sunset found him in the living room, his Deadpool suit laid out on the coffee table, as well as an assortment of guns.

“Dessert eagle, check. Two hand guns, check. AK-47, check.” Spikey then turned to the rocket launcher he had left on the arm chair. “And there’s that.”

Without warning, Sunset announced her presence in the room; Spikey turned to her and greet his girl with, “Hey babe, what you doing here”

The red-haired girl replied, “I just came round to see you; and ask why you didn’t come to our friends’ wedding.”

Spikey said back, “I told you over the phone, I had a job to do, couldn’t break it off.” It’s like he was paying more attention to counting his guns then to her, and Sunset was starting to notice this.

“You’re always busy; you never have time to be with your girlfriend.” Sunset Shimmer said to him, but he didn’t even flinch at those words. Sunset was about to get mad, but instead, she stayed calm and decided to just talk to him; whether he was going to listen or not.

Original

Music started playing and Sunset started singing.

“When we first met;
Your heart was free.”
“Your hopeful eyes;
Saw only me.”

She wandered around the room, singing to him.

“Now you’re looking for something;
Something I could never be.”
“When you are really;
All I need.”

She stood in front of the TV set, so now they were face to face; but he was looking down at his guns.

“You keep on telling me ‘later’;
But ‘later’ never comes around.”
“Please stop telling me ‘later’;
As you search for what just can’t be found.”

She reached out to him, offering her hand.

“Take my hand;
Come with me now and we’ll fly free.”
“No more ‘later’, we both know that’s a lie;
Don’t let this be the day I say....”

“Goodbye.”

She pulled her hand back and repeated.

“Goodbye.”

Deep within Spikey’s mind, there was a part of him that was listening to her; from his thought, a spirit was projected into the room. No one could see this thing, it was Spikey’s subconscious speaking; it was him, in his Deadpool suit. He looked away from the two of them, and turned towards... you.

He sung.

“When I met her;
I was set free.”
“My love for her;
Was plain to see.”

He turned back to them and sang.

“I kept looking for something;
A measure of security.”
“But she was really;
All I’d need.”

The spirit then looked directly into Sunset’s eyes.

“I kept on telling her ‘later’;
But ‘later’ never came around.”
“Why did I tell her ‘later’;
Why’d I search for what just can’t be found?”

The vision then reached out to her.

“I should take her hand;
Go with her and we’d both fly free.”
“No more ‘later’; we all know that’s a lie;
So this will be the day she says...”

“Goodbye.”

Sunset then sung, a little louder.
“Goodbye!”

“Goodbye.” The Deadpool vision repeated.

“Goodbye.”

When the song had ended, the spirit of Deadpool disappeared; Spikey stood up off the couch and reached into his pocket, he pulled out his phone and began calling one of his clients.

"Rocky, how you going, my son?” he greeted. He then noticed Sunset was still in the room; he put the phone down and said to her, “Just give me a moment, babe; I’ve got to take this.” Before she could even answer, he turned away and went back to his call.

Sunset wasn’t going to take this anymore; she headed towards the door, ready to leave. Before she did so, she turned around and took one last look at Spikey; under her breath, she whispered to him, “Goodbye, Spikey.”
With that said, she left.





Returning to the present, Sunset had finished telling the story of how she broke up with Spikey. Twilight was surprised that it ended like that; but it was what needed to be done.

“I’m so sorry, Sunset.” Twilight said to her.

The red-haired girl replied, “It doesn’t matter now; because I have you.”

The two smiled at each other and shared one last kiss before returning to watching the movie.

What the two didn’t know, was outside the apartment, across the street on the roof of the neighbouring building; someone was watching them through his binoculars. It was Spikey, or Deadpool as he likes to be called; wearing his suit, with his swords and guns.

He knew Sunset couldn’t hear her, but he whispered to himself when he put the binoculars down, “Goodbye, Sunset Shimmer.” After that, he jumped off the roof and left.
> Rat-Attack
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I don’t know if I can do this Adam.” Soarin muttered.

Adam said back to him, “You can do this, I know you can.”

“I don’t know man, this might be one of the toughest challenges I’ve ever faced.” Soarin wasn’t muttering anymore, he was almost panicking.

Before he could flip out, Adam explained what he do need to do to make it through this, “Remember Soarin; all you have to do is one thing....”

He and Soarin were standing at the alter of Canterlot Church, the vicar was there and the place was dressed up for Rainbow Dash and Soarin’s wedding. “Say ‘I do’.” Adam said to the groom. All of the Rainbooms attended the ceremony; but, just the Rainbooms. The bride and groom decided not to have a large wedding, just a short and low key ceremony with their closet friends.

Sunset Shimmer, Twilight and Applejack were standing next to the alter as the bridesmaid, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie were sitting in the rows, watching the service; and of course, Adam was standing beside Soarin as his best-man.

Without warning, the music started playing and everyone stood up to welcome the bride into the room; as the music took over the room, Rainbow Dash walked down the isle towards her husband-to-be. She was dressed in the beautiful gown Rarity had made for her; and despite her protests, she held and bouquet of flowers.

Once she reached the alter, the vicar began his words, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to unite Rainbow Dash and Soarin, in marriage. Isn’t it lovely, to see these two, surrounded by friends, and choosing to spend the rest of their lives together.” He turned to the couple and asked, “I believe you two have prepared vows for each other?”

Rainbow Dash pulled a small piece of paper from her pocket, she then spoke her vows, “Soarin, since the day we met on that boat, I’ve not met anyone as cool as you. And I know this might sound cheesy, but I can’t wait for us to build a life together; I love you and hope I can be a good wife to you.”

Pinkie leaned against Rarity’s shoulder, a tear rolled down her cheek; what she just heard was beautiful.

Now it was Soarin’s turn, “Rainbow Dash, what can I say that you haven’t already said; you are the most awesome girl I know and you show me every day just how amazing you can be. Like you said, our life together has only just begun and I hope I can make you happy.”

“If that’ all from you two, we’ll move onto the ‘I do’s’.” The vicar explained, he then turned to Rainbow and asked, “Rainbow Dash, do you take Soarin to be your lawfully wedded husband?’

The rainbow haired girl replied, “I do.”

“And Soarin, do you take Rainbow Dash to be your lawfully wedded wife?”

Soarin looked his love in the eyes and said, “I do.”

Adam whispered under his breath, “Nailed it, buddy.” He joked, referring to their earlier conversation.

With that said, the vicar concluded the service by saying, “Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife; you may kiss the bride.” Rainbow Dash shoved her flowers into the vicar’s hands and pulled Soarin into a deep kiss.

The group of friends all cheered at this, another married couple in their little family. With the wedding service over, the vicar shook hands with Soarin before leaving the room; this left the gang to talk freely. 

Rainbow quickly wanted to talk to her friends before they moved this party to Sugar Cube Corner for the reception; she said to them, “So guys, are you going to be okay without me and Soarin for a while?”

Twilight replied with, “Of course.” She then followed that up with, “Don’t get me wrong, we’ll miss you guys terribly, but you’re just going on your honeymoon.”

“Yeah, you guys will be back in two weeks.” Applejack stated.

Soarin joined the conversation and said, “It’s just, we don’t want to be away and something big happen; we want to be here to help out.”

That’s when Fluttershy explained to them, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine. You two just go and enjoy yourselves.” With that said, everyone was calm, the gang made their way to the exit and were ready to celebrate tis union the right way; with a party.

Before they got outside, Pinkie Pie said to them, “After all, we’re superheroes; what could happen?”











A few days after the wedding, Adam was in his home, adjusting the where the TV was on the wall; on the screen, the news was on, it was a report about Spiderman.

“I here at the sight of what seemed like a fight for survival; about a dozen suspects were apprehended by the police here on the this rooftop.” The field reporter was standing on the roof of the building where Spiderman and his friends were fighting the thugs working for Storm King. The reporter walked over to an officer who was still investigating the crime-scene. “Officer Bars, do we know how the fight came to be here.”

The cop replied, “Were not positive, but Spiderman had attacked the ones responsible for the trespassing on this privately owned property; but their ring leader was seen flying his getaway chopper. Those so-called super-people chased him away before the security cameras could get a look at him; this makes it impossible to ID the suspect.”

Suddenly, the sound of falling soda cans came from behind Adam; h turned around and saw his brother-in-law waking up on his couch. Zephyr Breeze got up, wearing only pyjama bottoms and a robe; he sat up on the couch and looked towards Adam.

“You know, my man; the TV might be easier to move if you unplugged it.” Zephyr explained.

But Adam replied, “Except for, I’m watching.”

Zephyr Breeze popped open another can of apple-cider and said, “Spiderman’s a crook, there’s no news there.”

The spider-hero was about to complain about how there was another person he knew that hated Spiderman, but at this point, he was used to it. Adam then turned off the screen but kept moving the box-set.

“Zephyr, I get that you think Spiderman’s a criminal.”

“On account of, he is.” 

Adam turned to Zephyr and explained, “Not that I have a horse in this race, but if he wants to use his powers to help people, you have to respect him for that.”

“You mean he’s like a Robin Hood, men in tights thing?” Zephyr replied.

Adam pretended to chuckle before saying, “I don’t think he wears tights.”

Fluttershy then walked into the room, stood behind the couch and joined the conversation, “Who doesn’t wear tights and why would you know?” Fluttershy asked them.

Adam replied, “Spiderman.”

Zephyr Breeze then said, “Your husband thinks he’s some kind of Robin Hood-good guy.” He then put down his drink and stated, “Those costume nuts are all a menace if you ask me.”

Fluttershy responded to her brother’s words by saying, “If Spiderman is out there looking out for his community, he’s gets my vote; agree or disagree.”

After that was said, Zephyr got up and walked towards the door; before opening it, he said, “Don’t you watch the news sis, people who run around the city in masks are criminals; they should be put away with all the other lunatics.”

Before he could leave, Adam stopped him and asked, “Hey, where’re you going?” 

“You said I couldn’t hold a job; well, I might have found something that’ll stick.” Zephyr replied. He left saying, leaving the married couple alone in the apartment.

Fluttershy then walked over to Adam, he was still adjusting the TV; when she was right behind him, he turned around and found them there. She backed him against the TV wanted to talk.

“You shouldn’t be so hard on Zephyr, he’s trying his best.” The pink haired girl stated.

Adam replied, “He’s trying to get fired all the time; he needs to learn to take responsibility for his life.”

“And you need to learn to help your family when and if they need help.” He then put her hand on the TV and slid it across the wall to the right spot, “There.”

After that, she walked away to the kitchen; Adam rested his head on the screen and sighed.





“Uh, I hope there isn’t as much paper work as last time, that really made my head hurt.” Zephyr Breeze explained. He was sitting on a lab table in the middle of a laboratory; his ‘new job’ was at Canterlogic, he was in the lab of one Stormy Skies best scientists, Professor Cross.

The scientist was mixing some chemicals together on the work bench across the room, he then turned to Zephyr and showed him the green liquid in the test tube he was holding.

“Today I get my first pay check, right?” Zephyr asked.

Cross replied with, “Actually, the ad said you be handsomely paid if your trial run was a success.”

Zephyr looked around the room and noticed something strange about this guys lab, he kept a lot of rats in display cases on the wall.

“Do you know why rats fascinate me?” Cross asked him. Zephyr simply shook his head. “People see them as pure vermin, but they are the worlds most powerful species. They can survive in toxic environments and are faster than most nocturnal animals.” Cross then poured the green chemical into a syringe.

“Whoa, you’re not going to stick me with that, are you?” Zephyr asked, panicking a little.

Cross pushed a button on the remote control he had, and the lab table bend into like a hospital gurney; Zephyr laid back in the seat. Cross then replied, “Of course I’m not going to inject you with this; that’s what the robotic arm is for.” He pushed another button and Zephyr’s wrists and ankles were locked down by cuffs; a strap even went around his forehead, to keep him still.

“Whoa, whoa, hold on; hold on, I didn’t sign up for no alien autopsy.” Zephyr cried.

However, Cross replied with “Actually you did, all that paper work, remember.” Cross then inserted the syringe into the robot arm and ready the experiment. After pushing another but on his remote, the robot arm injected Zephyr Breeze’s neck with the green liquid. Zephyr cried out in pain, until the syringe was taken out and he calmed down. “How do you feel?” the professor asked.

“Like I just got poked in the neck by a sharp needle.” Zephyr replied.

Now that he had been given the serum, Professor Cross walked over to his work bench and picked up a gas mask; he put it on and then picked up a small canister from the floor. He unscrewed the lid and watched as the green fumes rose out. He took the canister over to Zephyr, he could smell the contents of the can a mile away, and Zephyr thought it was horrible.

“How does this smell?” Cross asked him, his voice muffled by the mask.

“Awful, like last week’s garbage, time a million.” Zephyr replied.

The professor then asked, “Ad your still alive.” Zephyr then looked at him, confused; so Cross decided to explain, “What you just smell was toxic swamp gas; lethal to humans, but not to rats. The serum I gave you was concentrated rat DNA, you can now survive in habitats that would be deadly to us humans.”

Zephyr took a minute to process this, did this mean, he had a super power?





That night, Adam and Fluttershy were walking through town, they were going to meet up with the rest of the girls; minus the newly weds. Twilight, Sunset, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie were sipping milkshakes and looking at the city from a highway side-walk above the other streets.

“Hi girls.” Fluttershy greeted her friends with.

Adam then asked, “So what kind of fun, fun, fun are we having tonight?”

However, the expression on all their faces changed from happy to sad; they had some news they needs to share with Adam and Fluttershy. Sunset took a piece of paper out of her jacket pocket and handed it to Fluttershy, the pinked haired girl read it and then gasped; she then handed the paper to Adam.

Sunset explained, “With expenses rising and the city always having to rebuild certain parts of the itself; costs have gone up. We can no longer afford to keep the HQ.” She looked down and sighed.

Applejack then said, “Twilight spoke to someone on the phone, they said we have a way out of this.” Adam and Fluttershy then turned to Twilight for the answer.

“If we move anything important out of the HQ and sell the building by the end of next month, we can keep whatever profit is made from the sale; it should be enough to find somewhere else to set up shop.” Twilight explained.

Pinkie Pie then said, “Somewhere we won’t need to rely on lots of power and money to sustain.”

Without warning, Adam phone rang; when he answered it, Zephyr was on the line, “Adam, can you come and pick me up; I’m out of cash and need someone to help me.”

Adam sighed and replied, “Yeah man, I’m coming.” With that said, Adam hanged up the call. He then turned back to his wife and friends, “I need to go get Zephyr; I think his latest job was a bust.”

“You want me to come with you?” Fluttershy asked him.

But her husband replied, “No, its okay.” He then turned to the rest of them, “Why don’t you guys head into town; I’ll go get Zephyr, take him back to the apartment and meet you guys there.” Twilight nodded her head, and the rest of the girls agreed. Adam kissed Fluttershy on her head before he ran off to an ally.

When no one was watching, he changed into Spiderman and jumped up the wall and began web-swinging down the road.





Zephyr Breeze was walking down the street, he had a splitting head ache; he walked past the national bank, where a guard was loading some bags of money into the back of an armoured van. When the guard saw Zephyr coming down the road, he chuckled a little.

“Looks like someone’s been working late tonight.” The guard joked. 

When Zephyr passed the bank, the guard went back to work; he loaded the last bag and locked the truck. Before he could drive away with the money, he noticed someone across the road. A man on a motorcycle quickly revved the engine and sped towards the truck; when he reached the guard, he pointed the shotgun he was holding at the guard’s head, with his finger on the trigger.

“How about if you just take the truck.” The guard offered, he then moved away from the vehicle and was ready to run away. But the robber used the gun and bashed him on the back of the head, knocking him out.

Before the crook could take the van, Zephyr had walked back over to them and made his presence aware. 

“You know, I hear that’s illegal.” Zephyr said, trying to turn down the situation.

However, the crook just replied, “Someone talking to you?”

Not wanting any trouble, Zephyr just kept on talking, “I was just offering my opinion on the matter; I also heard that vermin like you, often get wiped out.

After that was said, the robber bashed Zephyr Breeze in the stomach and aimed the weapon at him, “We’ll see who gets wiped out.”

Without warning, a web line was shot from the rooftop at the robber’s gun; he then shot it off and knew that this meant Spiderman was nearby. The robber got in the van and drove away; Spiderman, already on the scene, jumped down from the roof and began swinging after him.

The robber was driving as recklessly as possible, Spidey swung from building to building, trying to get him to stop; the crook would even point his gun out the window and fire at the wall-crawler. That was until Spiderman saw an opening and web-zipped to the roof of the truck; he then shot a web-line onto the roof and swung in through the passenger seat, kicking the robber out of the vehicle and into the street.

Luckily, Spiderman quickly shot a web-net and caught him before he hit the ground.

Adam then jumped in front of the truck and pushed it to a halt; it took all of Adam’s spider-strength, but the van stopped in it’s tracks. Once this was done, Spidey quickly swung away to change back into his normal clothes; so he could check on his brother-in-law.





A few moments later, the police had arrived; the robber was arrested and the officers asked Zephyr for a statement. Officer Bars asked, “So, which officer was the one who aided in this suspects capture.”

But Zephyr replied, “Didn’t you hear me; Spiderman was here.” He then looked in the police car and saw the crook, “As for him, he should put where the rest of the trash from this city goes.”

“That’s a bit harsh, don’t you think?” Zephyr turned around to see Adam.

“Adam, where the heck have you been?” 

Adam quickly made his excuses and said, “I couldn’t get a cab, and I tried to call you but my phone died. Its a good thing Spiderman showed up when he did.”

Officer Bars heard that comment and said, “Did you happen to notice anything from this event.”

“What?” Adam replied. “No, it all happened so fast.”

“How do you know how fast it happened if you didn’t see anything?” The officer then stated. Adam was stuttering, he couldn’t think of anything to say. “Whatever, see you can jog your memory within the next twenty four hours; I want to talk to you down at the station.” Officer Bars then went to his car.

Before the police could drive away, Zephyr looked through car window; the crook looked back at him. Zephyr showed his teeth and hissed at him; the strangest thing was, his teeth looked more like fangs, causing the robber to gasp in fear.

The cops drove away, and Zephyr walked away as well; Adam didn’t know what to make of this, so he just followed Zephyr to the bus stop.





The next day, Adam and Fluttershy went to the HQ, the rest of the gang were already there. The married couple entered the control room and saw the girls had already started packing things away; cardboard boxes were all around the room.

Adam put his arm around Fluttershy’s shoulder, she stroked his hand and said, “I can’t believe this is happening.”

Sunset turned to them and replied, “I remember when we first bought this place.” She thought about that memory for a sec.

“Remember what we did to raise the money?” Pinkie asked the group. That’s when the Rainbooms all looked back on that day; before Adam and Fluttershy were married, before most of the group even got their powers.

The band was performing a song, and the guy who booked them said he would give the Rainbooms $5000 if the audience liked the act. The crowd loved it, and the girls were handsomely paid; that money combined with what each member already had, helped them buy this place, to make their superhero headquarters.

“Still, life goes on.” Twilight said. “Even without this place, we’ll still be superheroes and we’ll still be a team.”

Rarity then replied, “That’s the truth, Twilight.” Complimenting her friend’s statement.

Fluttershy looked around, most of the stuff was already packed away, but there was still a lot to do; she then said, “Well, this shouldn’t take more than a few days if we all pitch in.”

The group all gathered around the control desk, only for Adam to say, “I can pitch, as long as I leave the game in two hours.” All the girls looked at Adam in confusion. The spider-guy explained, “Date with a cop.”





That evening, Adam had arrived at the CCPD; for once, not as Spiderman. Officer Bars had him in one of the interrogation rooms, and through the one way glass, Adam could see that the robber from last night’s heist was in the room next door.

“So, let me see if I got your story straight; you tell your brother-in-law to go out and find a job, then he calls you to pick him up and you just happen to arrive after we nab the perp.” The officer explained.

Adam replied, “Yeah, I saw what was happening and went to look for a pay phone.” He said, making up some kind of story. “To call for help.”

Officer Bars then said, “Oh wait, that’s where I know you from.” He muttered sarcastically, “You’re the only young adult in the city without a cell-phone glued to his head.”

Suddenly, without warning, the lights went out it was a power failure, the whole room went pitch black. Officer Bars turned on his flashlight and found Adam in the darkness, “Stay here, the generator will kick on in a sec.” With that said, he left the room.

The officer went out to the hall and shined his torch around, it was almost spooky, this entire floor of the building had completely lost power. The officer in the other room, interrogating the robber came out and found her colleague; the two shined their flashlights up at the ceiling and found something creepy. 

It was a power cable, torn out of the ceiling and ripped in half; Bars whispered into his radio, “Officers in need of assistance, third floor.”

Back in the interrogation rooms, the red lights had come on; lights that ran on the backup power, not enough to light up the room, but enough so people good just about see. Suddenly, Adam heard something coming from the other room, a growl; he looked over at the glass and saw the robber jump out of his chair, trying to get away from something.

Adam pressed his head against the glass, trying to see what as in there; he heard another growl before the robber was violently thrown against the glass. Adam couldn’t just sit here anymore, so with the lights barely on, Adam took his outer-clothes off and revealed his Spiderman costume underneath.

The cops heard the commotion in the other room, they barged in with their pistols drawn; while shining their torches into the room, they saw on the floor, what was left of the robber.

Without warning, a hand or a claw reached out from the darkness and slashed at Officer Bars, causing him to drop his torch; after that, him and the other officers open fired. The creature escaped into the air-vent in the ceiling; the officers then noticed Spiderman crawling into the room and up the vent as well.

Bars yelled into his radio, “There’s two of them, they’re heading for the roof.”

Spiderman followed the creature through the vent system and up to the roof of the police precinct; the way they got out was the same way the creature got in. It was too dark for Spidey to get a good look at it, but he could still follow it; when they reached the roof, Adam couldn’t see where the thing went.

Adam’s spider-sense then warned him about an incoming threat, but it was too late to dodge it; a tail-like thing whacked Adam across the room. The hero heard one last growl before he got up, only to find the creature was gone.

Spiderman ran over to the vent the thing crawled out of, he found what looked like a clue; a torn piece of clothing, and animal hair. Before he could call the girls, the cops turned up behind him.

Officer Bars yelled out, “On the ground now, you’re under arrest.”

But Spidey wasn’t going to stick around to chat; he jumped off the roof and began swing away.





“Amazing.” Diamond Tiara said, holding photos in heard hand.

Adam had used a new invention of his, lenses in his mask that could take pictures; with an added filter so no one got to suspicious. Adam had taken some photos of last night’s events, hoping to sell them to Diamond Tiara’s news show.

“Creature tail, spider-foot, spider, creature, spider. Cop.” Diamond Tiara then threw the pictures onto the desk, “Can you believe this? This crazy town is over run with animals.”

Adam then replied, “Actually, Spiderman is a man.” His boss then looked at him funny. “Sort of.”

She then responded to that with, “Oh goody, he’s a man. What next, the human-duck?” ‘Tiara then turned to her window and explained, “Headline, the human-duck; terrorizes local ponds and flies south for the winter. What do you think?”

But Adam didn’t know how to respond; Diamond Tiara then looked over the photos one last time, “Four, five, six photos; I’ll give you twenty dollars for each of them.”

“Great.” Adam replied.

Before he could leave, ‘Tiara said one last thing, “This kind of stuff is what I like to see; bring more photos or videos and I’ll take them off your hands.” Adam nodded his head in agreement. “Just remember this is the great city of Canterlot, not the animal planet.”

With that said, Adam collected his check and left.





Later that day, Adam arrived at the HQ, he found the girls were all already there; most of the stuff had already been packed away. It shouldn’t take anymore than a few days to clear the rest out.

Just as Adam was walking in, Fluttershy noticed him come in and walked over to him; she had something to tell him. “Adam, Zephyr called me this morning; he’s moving out, said he found a place he can afford.”

Adam was surprised to hear this, they were talking about the same guy who had been living on their couch for about two weeks because he couldn’t hold a job. The spider-guy replied to her statement, “Did he tell you anything else?”

“Only that he’s back at the apartment right now, collecting his things.” Fluttershy explained. “I don’t know where all this is coming from, but it was a bit of a shock.”

Wanting to put her mind at ease, Adam said, “Don’t worry, I’ll pop round the house and see if I can talk to him; maybe find out what’s going on.” With that said, Adam kissed his wife goodbye before heading out again.

After seeing him leave, Pinkie Pie stated, “Man, that guy will do anything to get out of work.”

“PINKIE!” the rest of the group cried.





With a quick swing and quick change of clothes, Adam arrived back at his apartment; when he opened the door, he noticed the blinds were down and the lights were out. The only source of lights was what was seeping through the gaps in the blinds.

Sitting in a chair by the window, Adam saw someone; he figure that it had to be Zephyr Breeze, but he was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up.

“Zephyr?” Adam asked, checking it was him.

The figure replied with, “Adam.” But the voice sounded different.

Adam then said, “You don’t sound very good; maybe we should get you to a doctor.”

“No, I’m fine.” Zephyr replied.

On the coffee table, Adam noticed some documents, “Those papers; are these your employment forms?”

“That job didn’t last long; they had me in for one session then never called me again.” The hooded Zephyr replied. “Had me test some kind of medicine; he made me think it was going to change the world.” He didn’t notice it at first, but the floor had something that shouldn’t be there; small clumps of hair, or fur.

Zephyr Breeze then said, “Go Adam; I’ll pack my things and I’ll be out of your hair.”

“Zephyr, you’re not well.” Adam replied.

But all the hooded figure said in response was, “Please, go, now.”

He wasn’t going to win this talk, so Adam did as instructed and left; but not before he picked up a piece of the hair that was on the ground. He had an idea, but he was going to need Twilight’s help.

Once he had left, Adam didn’t Zephyr turn his head; he didn’t hear it, but a small growl escaped his mouth. It sounded like an animal.





Adam returned to the HQ and asked to see Twilight in the lab, she followed him to her worked station and he showed Twilight the hair he collected; not only that, but he also had the sample he got from the roof vent at the police station.

“Twilight, I need a DNA signature on this hair; I need to know where it came from.” Adam explained.

So the science girl took the hair and ran a scan on he to samples; while they waited for the results, Twilight asked, “Where did you get this hair anyway?” Before Adam could explain however, the scan was over quickly; meaning the DNA was an exact match for someone they had on file.

In case it ever became useful, the heroes had DNA samples of all their friends and family; if they ever became in danger and need to be tracked and rescued. Twilight took the paper with the results on it, she read it before showing it to Adam.

“The scan reveals traces of rodent DNA, like a mouse or a sewer rat; but that’s not the strangest thing.” Twilight turned Adam’s attention to the bottom of the page. “The hair is heavily mutated, but has an exact match... to Zephyr Breeze.”

Adam fell back in his chair, he didn’t want to believe it; and as much as he didn’t want to hurt Fluttershy, was going to have to bring Zephyr in?





Back at Fluttershy and Adam’s apartment, Zephyr was staring out the window again; he could see the Canterlogic building from here. The poor guy then looked at his hands, and then his face in the glass; what had he become, what had Cross done to him.

Zephyr then looked at the papers on the coffee table; in his new hissy voice, he muttered, “Cross. Cross!” he yelled.

That’s when he could feel the change happening; Zephyr tore off the hoodie as he started to grow taller, he could he his bones scraping against each other. Once the transformation was complete, he looked towards the Canterlogic building and used his claws to scratch the window.

Moments later, Adam arrived back home; just as thunder was starting to rumble in the sky. He opened his front door to find his brother-in-law; but the apartment was empty. It didn’t take Adam long to figure out what had happened; especially with the huge claws marks on the window.

Adam looked down at the papers once again, only this time, they were all scratched up and shredded. The only paper left was the employment form; Adam picked it up and read the description, it said that the accepted applicant would be working with Professor Cross, at Canterlogic.

“Oh my gosh.” Adam muttered.

He looked out the window and saw that you could see the Canterlogic building, he knew instantly that’s where Zephyr Breeze would have gone. Adam used his phone to call Twilight; he told her to suit up and head to the Canterlogic building, he would meet her there.





Professor Cross was working in his lab, trying to duplicate the rat DNA formula; what he didn’t know, was that his test subject was putting his new abilities to use, and scaling the side of the building. Once the creature had reached Cross’ window, he growled and punched his way, smashing the glass; this alerted the professor and caused him to drop what he was doing and attempt to flee.

Zephyr entered the room and slashed a power line with his claws, the lights went out and the room had gone dark.

Not far away, Spiderman and Spider-Girl were on their way to help their friend; they were swinging from building to building, trying to get there before it was too late.

Cross was trying to get away, but the creature was blocking the door; he tried to grab something to defend himself, but all he had were test tubes and lab equipment. The professor attempted to make a run for it, but Zephyr jumped up on to the table and slashed at his arm, causing him to stumble back.

Once Cross got a good look at this creature, it let out a spine shaking growl; Cross tried t back away, but there was no escape from this thing.

Before Zephyr could exact his revenge on Cross for making him this way, the two spiders finally arrived and entered through the hole in the window the rat creature had mad when it broke in; Twilight decided to act like Adam and say a quip, “Hey squeaky, know where we can get a little tail.”

The rat turned around and stared at the two heroes; without warning, Zephyr pounced at Adam, causing them both to go flying out the window. Twilight watched them both begin to fall down to the street below; but Spiderman managed to latch onto the side of the building, Zephyr kept falling before digging his claws into the wall.

Professor Cross crept up behind Spider-Girl with a fire extinguisher he’d taken off the wall; he muttered, “Spiders.” He held up the extinguisher and tried to hit Twilight with it.

“Get out of here.” Spider-Girl ordered.

“Why are you helping me?” Cross demanded to know.

Spider-Girl just replied, “Go!” 

Cross did as instructed and just ran out of the room; as he was running, he used his phone to call the authorities, “Yes police, we’ve got an emergency at the Canterlogic building.”

Back outside, the rat was climbing back up the building, trying to go after Adam; Spiderman just stayed where he was, he didn’t know how he was going to stop Zephyr without hurting him. What he did know was that he couldn’t continue this fight on the side of a building, so Spidey crawled up the wall to the roof; Twilight saw him go past and went after him, all while the rat creature was chasing them.

When the two spiders reached the roof, they had to think of a plan; but it was too late, the rat jumped up behind them and whacked them both away with his tail. Fighting him wasn’t the answer, so they tried to see if they could get through to him.

“Zephyr, we know its you, we want to help you, but you have to stop this.” Adam explained. But the rat wasn’t listening, he just kept using his claws to slash at Adam and Twilight. They both jumped up to and satellite tower for safety, “Think about it Zephyr, you don’t want to be like this; but we can’t change you back if you shred us to pieces.”

Spider-Girl then noticed something, a fan behind a panel down on the roof; she drew Zephyr’s attention to the spiders, “Spiderman’s right, Zephyr, let us help you.” She then jumped down to the fan and used her strength to pry the panel away.

Adam jumped down as well and web-zipped towards Zephyr; he didn’t want to, but he began punching and kicking him. Enough to daze him; Twilight then shot two web-lines at the rat and attached the other ends to the centre of the fan.

The strength of the fan pulled Zephyr towards it, causing him to crash into it. Twilight and Adam jumped up on top of the fan’s container and looked down at the rat creature; Adam stated, “I’m sorry Zephyr, but we don’t live in the jungle; we’re gonna have to turn you in.”

Suddenly, a police helicopter flew over the roof of the building; one of the officers in the chopper spoke into a megaphone, “Spiderman, you and your accomplice are under arrest!”

“Accomplice, I’m not his accomplice.” Twilight stated, feeling insulted for being called that.

Without them noticing, Zephyr had got backup; he grabbed both their ankles and pulled them down, h then grabbed them by the neck and held them up against the fan, just as it was starting back up. The rat was about to shred them in the fan, so Spiderman saw only one option; he shot a web-line up to the helicopter and pulled himself up, he used another web to pull Twilight to safety as well.

The rat creature growl when he saw them get away; the spiders weren’t done with him yet, Adam shot another web at Zephyr’s tail and pulled him up with them.

The officer with the megaphone said to the officer piloting the chopper, “We’ve got all three, let’s get them to a holding cell.”

Zephyr was waving his claws around to try an get free; Adam was trying to hold on, Twilight was trying to help, but was also trying to avoid the sharp claws. Spidey said to the rat, “Zephyr please, we can get you help. But if you struggle you’ll just...”

Without warning, the rat slashed at Adam’s hand, causing him to let go of the web and drop Zephyr.

“Fall.” Adam finished with.

After falling from the sky, Zephyr crashed into the street, causing all the cars on the road to stop; the rat had smashed through the ground and into the sewers below. The two spiders jumped down and swung to the street; they reached the hole where the rat had landed, but... he was gone.

All that was in the hole was broken debris, Zephyr had escaped. In light of what had just happened, all Adam could say was, “I’m so sorry Zephyr; I promise, i will find you and help you back to your life.”

Twilight then patted Adam on the shoulder, “We should get out of here.” She said, hearing police cars coming.

The two heroes then shot some webs and swung away; they weren’t sure if they had won this day, or if they had failed horrible.
