…..Entry #1…..
So, I’m writing a journal about one of the most tragic quite possibly the weirdest event in human history. The event that started when magical talking ponies suddenly appeared with an island right in the Pacific Ocean. Now, some of you that may read this, if there are any that will, will most likely say what was so bad about that. Or you may say, no shit, it was horrible. Depends on what may happen in the future. But the bad stuff didn’t happen until a bit later.
Before we get into the nasty side of things, let me state what these ponies are, and what they hope to accomplish. The ponies are essentially split up into four different categories. The first being ‘Earth’ Pony. The tree huggers and the one’s that use their hooves to complete objectives. Then there are the ‘Pegasus’ Ponies. The have wings to fly at ridiculous speeds, and can use clouds to literally control the weather. Yeah, but Storm is still the queen of weather as far as I’m concerned. Next we have the ‘Unicorn’ Pony. These ones have horns on their heads that let them use ‘magic’ to do a variety of things. Yet Doctor Strange is still Sorcerer Supreme around here.
And lastly, the most powerful of all four is the Alicorn. They are the rulers of ponykind, and for good reason. They have the abilities of all three if the other kinds of ponies, and those abilities are magnified tenfold. The ‘magical’ ability of a Unicorn’s horn, the strength of a Earth Pony, and the speed and weather ability of the Pegasus. The whole package all in one. They are even somewhat immortal. The two in charge are maybe half as old as Thor himself. Which brings me to them, the two main rulers of the Island, Equestria as they call it.
The first is Princess Celestia. She is most likely THE most powerful pony alive. Second being her sister, Luna. Very little is known about Luna, and I’ll get to that in a sec. Anyway, Celestia is the main ruler as far as we humans can tell. Now get this, she claims she can RAISE the SUN! HA! I don’t know about you, but I laughed ALL day after I heard that! And that her sister can raise the moon? HOHO BOY! Ahh, my lungs haven’t had such a work out in a while! She also said that she can draw her power directly from the sun. That I can believe, because I have heard of many beings in the Universe that can draw power from nature. So a solar powered super pony? Childsplay compared to the others I’ve heard about.
Now, her sister Luna is an enigma as far as we know. She almost never shows up when ponies come to answer our questions, and even if she did she never talks. While Celestia is the most powerful, I have a feeling that Luna isn’t a slouch in that category either. From what talk’s I remember her having on national TV, she’s very intelligent. Able to cleverly avoid questions that may have revealed to much about her and their civilisation. Which begs the question, what exactly do they have to hide? I get that every nation has their secrets, but they seemed to have taken that to a new level. We don’t even have a proper drawing of their island on a map. We humans have tried to get a satellite picture, but their power source, ‘Magic’, keeps interrupting the scan.
Okay, now that I’ve caught you up on what they are, let’s talk about what's been happening since they’ve showed up. At first it was actually okay. They stayed on their nice and cozy island and we just left them to their own devices. Yet as time went on, the Ponies somehow got the idea of coming and living in our land. Not saying that was a bad idea, but it did kick start things that WERE bad. Things that many wish never happened.
So a while after they left, suddenly a huge barrier started to expand around Equestria. No one, Human, Mutant, or Pony know how or why this barrier started to expand. Yet we have our suspicions the Ponies know more than they’re willing to tell. You see, the barrier was a bad thing for what it did to regular humans. It was horrible what happened to the first city that barrier touched. Every human in the city was killed, disintegrated by the magic in the barrier. Yet somehow every plant and building remained intact. Completely left alone from the barrier. Scientist like Reed Richards have deduced that it only works on Organic matter. Human matter to be exact.
And that led to the next big discovery, only regular humans were affected to the barrier. Meta Humans, like myself, Mutants, Inhumans, and basically every other form of super powered being weren’t affected by the barrier. Well, not noticeably. We just can’t stay in there for over a few days. After that, we die just like the rest. Or, at least that's what IronMan said. Having ran like a biggilion test on the heroes that were left unaffected. Heh, I’m one of the lucky ones that wasn’t affected.
Yet just because we were ‘safe’ didn’t mean every other regular human was. They were still being affected by that stupid Barrier. So, we had to find a way to contain it. Luckily, Reed Richards found a way to contain the barrier. He set up multiple thingy majigs around the area of the barrier. These devices created a type of pulse wave that pushed back against the barrier. Even going as far as to actually push it back! At a very slow rate, but it still worked!
Yet, even after our victory against the barrier, a group of Ponies called the PER created a type of liquid that, guess this, turned regular humans into ponies. I couldn’t make this up if I wanted to. The PER were formed under the assumption that Humanity was killing themselves. So to ‘save’ us, they created the Ponification potion.
Then the PER started to come to the human’s world to spread their new liquid. They did so by setting up clinics called ‘Conversion Bureaus’ to turn humans into Ponies. The only okay thing, was that humans were allowed to keep their free wills. Well, most of their free will, their memories as humans, and their intelligence. Yet, something was always off about them after they turned. I should know, one of my best friends was turned against her will.
One of the worst parts? The fact that they did it to quote unquote, ‘save humanity from themselves.’ Someone better call Doctor Doom, these ponies are stealing his thunder. Trying to save humans from themselves, how more cliche can you get?
As soon as people realized the barrier was retreating, they stopped considering the Conversion Bureau since the only reason they would want to become ponies was now no longer a problem. The PER noticed how poorly their efforts to convert us was going, so they started to kidnap humans and turn them into ponies against their will. And their excuse? It was for our own good. That humans and Super Humans were to blame for all the problems in the world. Rather they were right or wrong, that didn’t give them the right to wrongfully turn innocent humans into them! And do you want to know what the Princesses of Equestria did?
She and her sister turned a blind eye, and left the PER to do as they please. And my friend payed for it.
That is actually the reason why I’m writing this, because anyone who reads this needs to know the horrors of what happened, and how the idiots running Equestria responded. They are even giving the PER funding! They are giving criminals and kidnappers money to continue doing what they're doing! I have been out there every night, stopping the PER from kidnapping and doing whatever they want. That's also how I learned that Superhumans were also immune to their liquid version of the barrier.
HA! Another win for the superpowers!
And yet, there are still people being kidnapped. Not nearly as many as there was, but enough for people to know exactly what's been going on. And so, the HLF was born. The Human Liberation Front. A group of humans that acted very violently to the Ponies. They were made as an organization to combat the PER, and basically every pony they see on the street. If you weren't one of the ones that were turned against their wills, then the HFL would be targeting you.
Now remember how I had to save humans from ponies? Now I had to save ponies from humans that desperately wanted revenge. I have even saved a Conversion Bureau worker from them at one point. I did not like that. Yet the whole, ‘Great power comes Great Responsibility’ thing sorta left me with no choice. And now, my public image is even more screwed up than normal. Humans hate me for saving ponies, and the ponies living around here hate me for saving humans.
Wow, even among a whole different spices, I just can’t win. And now I once again relize how unfair the world is.
Anyway, during the last few weeks, the attacks on both sides have gotten much more violent. The PER are now going out and attacking much more frequently, and the HLF are hitting bigger targets with much more ferocity than before. It’s got to the point where even Equestria and the United Nations have taken notice of all the attacks. Both organizations have expanded world wide, getting every major city around the world caught in the crossfire. Me and almost every other hero have been staying up late nights, and spending hours upon hours trying to keep the fighting in New York contained.
So I have now caught you all up on recent events. The PER and HLF are at war. And as of yesterday's UN meeting with Equestria, a representative from each of the main races on Earth are now due to a meeting to discuss how we are each going to handle the war between the two organizations.
The species going to the conference are very divers. Ranging from Humans, to Ponies, to Mutants, to the Inhumans, and finally to us regular Super Humans. And there is exactly three representative from each race going to the conference. As for the Human’s, Tony Stark has managed to get a position as the lead, being one of the only humans that can defend themselves from the ponies in case of attack from the PER. I don’t really know who else are going to be sent, seeing as their political figures, and I don’t really follow recent politics.
As for the Mutants, it wasn’t really any question who should go. Cyclops, Beast, and Emma Frost were chosen to go. Cyclops is one of the most prominent figure in the Mutant community, and is well renowned as the leader of the X-Men. Beast was chosen for his amazing intellect and diplomatic skills. Emma Frost is basically their defense against any attempts at mind control and PER attacks.
The Inhumans were also very easy to pick out. Black Bolt, being the leader and all. Medusa coming along as his diplomat, and I think Watch Dog is also going. Not really sure about that one. Other than that, I have no idea what they have in store. I don’t really talk with Inhumans very much.
We, the regular Super Humans have a very surprising roster one our side. First off, Captain America has volunteered as the Lead for obvious reasons. And as lead, he had decided to hand pick his team of diplomats. And boy oh boy, did he pick. The first one was Reed Richards. One of the smartest men alive, and Mr. Fantastic himself. His brilliant mind and experience in diplomacy made him the obvious choice there. You see, it was Cap’s next pick that had the whole world shocked. He chose me. He literally looked at a TV screen, and said to the world that he wanted Spider-Man there as well. I for one, had to have my jaw placed back into it’s proper place after hearing that. And so did everyone in New York for that matter. And now Last but not least,
The Ponies. Again, other than one new face, I’m not very surprised by the choices they are going to send. Celestia, the sun goddess herself, is going as the lead. Being the 1000 year old leader of her kingdom, it wasn’t a big shock. Luna was also picked to go as, not diplomat, but the extra protection. This came as a shock to some, but not as much as the latter. One Twilight Sparkle. A regular Unicorn pony that no one has ever heard of. She is being sent as the Diplomate, and other than that, she’s a complete mystery to everyone.
I don’t really know what to expect. Hell, I don’t even know why Cap picked me to go. But I have the feeling that I’m going to find soon. In exactly one day, we are all going to meet up at the SHIELD Helicarrier, which is positioned over high above the ocean near the outskirts of North and South America. Far away from that life threatening barrier and any attempts at attacking us during the conference. Yet that's why there are three representatives being sent to the conference. I’m sure the only reason I’m going is because of my Spider-Sense, and because I arguably have the most experience fighting every kind of Pony. Except the Alicorn’s. I still don’t have any plan incase they decide to attack us. Not like they would, but I trust Celestia and her gang much as IronMan does.
Which he doesn’t by the way.
I’m not sure anyone not a pony trust Celestia. I mean, it would be nice if we could. But her actions in funding the PER is enough for every other hero and I to not like her all that well. I just really hope the talk goes well and without a hitch. The last thing we need is some kind of attack to screw things up. If the human’s attack, the ponies might think we set them up. And if the ponies attack, humans would believe they tried to ambush us.
Oh man, the world is so messed up now. I really wish we could go back to those normal days where the only problems we had were non-super powered problems. Back then when a bank robber didn’t have the power to turn into sand, or where psychos didn’t fly around on military grade gliders. Those were safer and simpler times for everyone. Not having to worry for an end of the world event every few months or so.
Well, here's to hoping tomorrow’s conference goes okay!
-Spider-Man.
…..End Entry…..
Closing the book, Peter Parker looked up to the ceiling of his new apartment. A look of worry stretched across his face as he began to think about everything over and over again. And how tomorrow could affect the world as they knew it. This isn’t an option, the conference HAS to go smoothly. Or every attempt at a peaceful solution will immediately be swept to the side, and war between humanoids and Ponies would rage on.
The humans, powered people and all included, would obviously have the number and power advantage. Yet Equestria has the potion, and an almost unbreakable defense. One where we could only send powered humans in for only a short amount of time.
If worse comes to worse, at least Humans don’t have to worry about that stupid barrier. From what Reeds told me, it’s getting smaller and smaller every second. Bad thing is, that the barrier will only be pushed back to the borders of Equestria and not all the way like we wanted. I’ll have to ask Reed what the theory behind that is later.
For now, I have a long a few hours to kill by swinging around the city and catching some criminals. Who knows, I may just run into one of my old pals. Haven’t heard from Shocker in a while, and Vulture has been lying pretty low to.
Getting off his bed, Peter moved to his closed closet. He opened the small room, and immediately crouched to the floor. Peter ran his fingers threw the tiled floor, only stopping at the feeling of a small gap between two of the tiles. HIs fingers used there adhesive capabilities to lift the tile away from the floor, revealing his Spider-Man suit and web shooters. He grabbed the familiar costume with a smile, thinking of the rare times he saves someone that doesn’t hate him.
“Ahh, hello beautiful. Feel like saving the day again?” Peter says to the suit as he puts the tile back in it’s place, and closes the closet behind him.
It almost become routine how he puts on the suit. He’d been doing it for so long, that it doesn’t even seem to take more than a few seconds. The feeling of the nano fabric over his body, to the robotic eyes that help him concentrate when he has to. Thank goodness Stark saw fit to improve his suit. And not by giving him another Iron Spider costume.
“Okay then. I’m ready to head out!” Spider-Man quickly walked to his window to open it, making sure no one below was specifically looking at his apartment. A grin broke out under his mask as he looked about the small crowd below, not a single soul was looking up. But even so, he’d have to go fast to keep it that way.
In one fluid motion, Spider-Man opened the window and jumped to the wall above it. And in that same second, he pushed the window down and hopped off the building all together. A ‘YAHOO!’ following a web stream aimed at the neighbouring complex.
The yell got a few heads to look up at Spider-Man, but the citizens were already somewhat use to seeing the wall crawler swing around and acting like a goof ball. So they just shrugged the sighting off and went about their day. Some hoping that Spider-Man would just give up the vigilante thing, others hoping that he’d still be around tomorrow to help keep the city safe.
Yet a single pony in the crowd stared intently at the webbed themed hero. A cyan Pegasus with rainbow colored mane and magenta eyes looking at where he swung off to. A smirk playing on the mares lips as she suddenly unfolded her wings.
“Why hello, ‘hero’.” And she shot out of the crowd, leaving dust as the only sign she had ever been there.
…..THE END…..

See!? Didn't I TELL you I was going to post something soon! ... Wait, I didn't? CRAP! Anyway, this will mainly be all that's to this story. That is, unless you guys really like the idea and want to see more. I defiantly have a few ideas, but I already have another full blown story, along with a few One-Shots planned out. So don't go expecting the next chapter to come soon. Anyway, SON BARDOCK OUT!
Can I have Some Skittles?
The Conversion Bureau: Heroes Shall Rise
Chapter 1: Can I have some Skittles?
“Talking.”
Thinking.
Disclaimer: I don’t own the Marvel Universe, nor do I own MLP.
Fair warning, I had some major Writer's Block during the last few parts of this story.
…..New York, Manhattan…..
“~Spectacular, Spectacular, Spider-Man!” Sang Peter as he swung from building to building, not even caring to look where he shot his webs as he turns a corner, and then let’s go of the web strand.
Spider-Man loved this part of his job. Swinging around the city never got old; even when he would end up doing it for hours. It was the one thing Spider-Man would always miss when he’s not crime fighting or doing his superhero thing. And the fact that the views in Manhattan were always good looking from high up. Unless you move into the bad parts of the city.
Which is exactly where Spider-Man was heading for now. Right back into his same schedule he made long ago. Every few days he’d change and go different routes, before changing again and again in a random fashion. Yet there were times when Spider-Man would find himself repeating a path he had used long ago, and tonight's just happened to be one of them.
With a quick ‘thwip’ of his webs, Spider-Man web zipped right over one of the smaller buildings in his path, running over what he hadn’t skipped already and jumping off the roof to continue web slinging his way to the rough part of the city. The last time he had went there, Daredevil showed and helped him beat up on some of Kingpin’s thugs. Plus Bullseye, but that was all Horn Heads fight.
Now that Spider-Man thought about it, he hasn’t talked to Daredevil in a while anyway. Maybe he’d see him in Hell’s Kitchen tonight? Eh, unlikely. Their meetings weren’t exactly a regular thing. And it always involved Kingpin in some way of form.
“Ahhh, enough of that!” He says with a small grin under his mask. Today was hopefully going to be a slow day; no supervillains, PER or HLF kidnappings, and especially no convoluted plots against humanity.
“~Yup. Today is going to be a good-”
*SWOOSH!*
“The hell!?”
A sudden wind caught Spider-Man unprepared, sending him flying in the air for a bit. His eyes widened while he tried to look at what had caused the gust of wind. And to say he was a bit surprised was an understatement.
Hovering right where he was, was a technicolored Pegasus with crayn fur and a rainbow colored mane. Wide magenta eyes, and a proud smirk that adorned her mussel. He wings flapping at a medium pass to keep her floating. A quick check to her flank revealed a Lightning bolt. A speed demon perhaps?
Regaining his composure, Spider-Man quickly web-zipped to the edge of a nearby building. Which just happens to be a conversion center.
Great, a pony ambushed me near one of these places. Spider-Man really didn’t like how this was going. One random citizen looking up and seeing the both of them there would lead to a wide spread of rumors and wild stories that could either lead to good publicity for Spider-Man, or fuel for J.J’s Spider rants.
Turning to look at the still smirking Pony, Spider-Man couldn’t help but feel like he’d seen that rainbow hair before. But he put that away for later. Snarky comment now.
“Hey! I’m swinging’ here! Do you even have a license for those wings on your back?” The pony seemed annoyed for a quick second, but then the face of confidence came back in full swing.
“Yeah, I have one.” She said in a tomboyish voice, one that really got Spidey's brain moving. Slowly, a look of realization hit him like a ton of bricks. And the smirk that the Rainbow haired mare had only grew larger as his own robotic lenses grew as well. He had met this pony before, at a HLF attack on one of the Pony facilities.
Apparently, she was an official from Equestria that decided she would keep any hostile Humans away from the facilities in the first place. Which only gained more attention from the HLF as they planned a big attack on the compound. Spider-Man had just made it there as the soldiers of the HLF started to raid the place.
Now, Spider-Man may sympathize with the HLS for their reasons, but taking the lives of random ponies on the streets was a no go. No matter the reasons. And so, Spidey did the only thing he could in that situation. Help the ponies defeat his fellow humans. Being a hero really sucked at times, but he had to help. Responsibility and all that.
As soon as they really started to get working on their plan, Spider-Man himself swung down and quickly put a few of them down. And wouldn’t you know it? Skittles here burst forward and took a few of the stragglers out. She tried to tackle Spidey, but he proved a bit too agile and ducked under her rather rude attack.
Then, after a few words here and there, the two started to work together to take down the HLS soldiers. The mare even backed up a few of his witty quips as they decimated the HLS forces. The ones still standing ran for the hills, screaming about ‘TRAITOR!’ this, and ‘DEMON RAINBOW!’ that. At the end, Spider-Man and Rainbow gave each other a nod and went back to business as usual. Well…. Not before she tried to unmask the webbed hero.
“AH! Skittles! Now how could I forget that wonderful hair style?” He joked, clearly relaxing as he crouched on the roof. “Really brings out the anger in your eyes.”
Spider-Sense!
Yet before Spider-Man could react to the tingling sensation in the back of his skull, Rainbow had tackled the arachnid to the ground. Pinning him to the roof as her cocky attitude quickly shifted to a mean glare. A glare Spider-Man really couldn’t look away from.
“My, my, how forward. People will begin to talk soon.” Just because she had a mean glare, didn’t mean he wasn’t going to stop joking around.
“Let them. I have a bone to pick with you.” Anger traced her voice as the unsaid threat hung in the air.
“Yeah, well I didn’t bring my pick axe. So rain check Skittles?” Spider-Man got his answer as she only glared harder at him. Clearly she was willing to let him leave peacefully.
“Shut up. I want answers, and you’re my best bet at getting them.”
“Well when you put it that way how could I refuse?” He shrugged. Getting a nod from the rainbow haired Mare.
Rainbow Dash then stepped off Spider-Man, content to keep a close eye for any tricks the web-slinger may have. Spider-Man then got back to his feet, glad that the pony had let up. Anyone seeing that would defiantly spread the word. His reputation in the city would take a huge hit. Being pinned to the roof by a, what, 120-250 pound pony? And in a scandalous pose no less.
“Okay Skittles, tell Uncie Spidey what's got my tongue?” Wow, he really couldn’t stop with the jokes today, could he?
“I have a lot of questions for you. But first off, why are you webbing ponies to be sent to jail!?” Rainbow yelled. Spider-Man was taken back by the sudden question. It should have been common knowledge why he webs up ponies. Because their part of the PER and were usually trying to kidnap some random sap on the streets.
“Is that really what this is all about?” Spider-Man had to be sure here. If she was misunderstanding his actions, then his whole relationship to the ponies could already be damaged. Well, more damaged than it might already be.
“Yes! Why are you webbing up random PER members and sending them straight to the human slammer!” This time there was a fierce fire in her eyes. One that made Spider-Man realize, she meant business here.
“Okay, first off. Calm down.” She did, but still gave the hero a hard glare. “Second, I’m not just webbing up every PER member I see on the street. I web up the PER members that I see kidnapping humans off the streets.”
Rainbow’s eyes widen a bit at the news, but she shakes it off and then continues to glare at Spider-Man. A snarl coming from her mouth.
“The PER doesn’t kidnap. They convince humans to turn into Ponies willingly.” Spider-Man just stared at her, watching her smirk like she’s won some grand argument. Well, she was in for a very rude awakening.
“Yes they do. I should know, because I go out on the city almost every night and stop about 10 to 15 attempted kidnappings. So don’t you DARE tell me that they don’t!” He may have been a bit more harsh than he originally wanted, but no one was going to convince him that the PER didn’t take people off the streets.
“No they don’t!” Rainbow yelled back.
“Oh yes they do! And you want to know why I’m so sure?” This pony was really starting to get under Peter’s skin.
“Oh yes, please tell me how they made someone’s life a bit better!”
Spider-Man’s eyes went wide with rage, giving him an intimidating look as his lenses copied his muscle movement. After the things he had seen them do to people? Taking them while they kick and scream? Forcing that damned Serum into their bloodstream? No way in hell were they making people’s lives ‘better!’
“Now listen here you uneducated pony.” He said, venom spilling into his voice as the memory of his best friend replayed in his head. How she use to condemn the PER, and how he had failed to save her.
“One of my friends. No, my BEST friend, was taken one night. She was a ‘high level target’ as they put it. Sent a crap ton of more PER soldiers after her than others. As I was fighting off about 20 different ponies, she was taken. I was to slow, and to full of myself to stop them. And you know what happened!?”
Rainbow found that she couldn’t help herself. She asked the one thing on her mind at that specific moment.
“What?”
Spider-Man’s lenses narrowed to a dangerous degree, making the normally happy-go-lucky hero seem intimidating to the rainbow haired mare. Something she realized a bit too late. Rainbow had opened the can of worms.
“She was injected by it. I had just found her, strapped to a table and gagged.”
“Then what?” Shut up Rainbow! Just shut yourself up! But the Rainbow mare just couldn’t help herself.
“I think you can piece the rest.” He said, loosening his shoulders. A sigh of annoyance coming from his mouth. He had no idea why he acted like this so suddenly. It would normally take much more than a simple disagreement to get him that pissed. There were only a few that could get under his skin like that, and one was dead while the other was locked up, hopefully for good.
“I-” But a hand from Spider-Man made her close her snout, her eyes looking at him with a bit of worry.
“Now, I’m going to leave before I do anything I might just regret.” And before the bearer of Loyalty could comment, Spider-Man was already swinging away from the building. Doing various flips and exaggerated, yet graceful, movements that could put any many highly skilled Pegasus’s to shame.
Looking at his retreating form, Rainbow couldn’t help but feel a bit stupid. After his sudden outburst, Rainbow Dash felt a small but powerful wave of guilt fill her. She really believed that the PER were innocent in all of this. That Spider-Man just webbed them up for being ponies. But the more she thought on it, the sillier the idea seemed.
The arachnid themed hero had captured just as many HLF members as he did PER. Wow… she may have screwed this up big. She COULD have been a little less forceful, and maybe she could have had a little more tact when talking to him.
Hell, the only reason she was out here was because she saw a story on the Human's news about the many stories they had about Spider-Man. Safe to say, some of them weren’t very flattering. This got her thinking that Spider-Man was a bad guy, and that he was actually leaving innocent ponies for the human police to pick up. Turns out, she was wrong.
Maybe the PER wasn’t as good as I had first believed. Maybe… No Rainbow! Celestia and Twilight put their trust in the PER and their goal, and so will you!
She may not have a lot of experience with the PER outside of business, but she knew her friends! And it’d take more than some ‘hero’ in a costume to make her believe otherwise! There was no way her princesses would give funding to criminals.
Right?
……….
“Stupid Parker!” Swinging through the city normally cleared his head. Gave him a nice place to talk about personal issues on his own without worrying about anyone else’s input. Sadly, this was not like those times. This time, Spider-Man was spending his patrolling arguing with himself over how he had acted with Rainbow.
Firstly, he was way too pissed. Sure, she touched on a rough spot for him. However, that doesn’t excuse his angry tone and basically telling her off like that. She didn’t know, and it was wrong to yell at her like he did… Even if it was her fault to begin with…
A sudden realization came upon Spider-Man as he made yet another swing around the skies of New York. One which really set his guilt trip up… the fact he had just yelled off an official of Equestria.
“Ooooooooooh. Oooh crap,” Spidey said, aiming his Web Shooters at a nearby roof. “I just screwed up, BIG!”
Landing on the roof with little problem, Spider-Man quickly began pacing back and forth on the small roof. His head running with what sort of backlash his anger had caused him, AND THE EARTH! He was now an official representative of his ‘species’! Not to mention that this meeting was supposed to WORK things out! Not cause a political debate over whether or not he was in the right over YELLING AND INSULTING one of Equestria’s officials!
“Oh I’m boned! I’m so-so-so-so-so boned! I don’t even use the word ‘boned’! That’s how BONED I AM!” Peter began clutching his head in panic! He may have just threw the whole ‘peace talk’ OUT THE GODDAMNED WINDOW! How was he supposed to tell this to Cap!?
“Wait…. CAP!!!” What would the Sentinel of Liberty think when he hears that the ‘Web-Menace’ of New York botched up the meeting BEFORE IT EVEN HAPPENED!?
‘Why did it have to happen now of all days?’ Spidey thought to himself, aiming a web at a nearby corner.
“Okay,” He said to himself while yanking on the web, bringing him to the corner so he could collect his thoughts. “Let’s just thing this through.”
He sat on top of the corner, crouched with his hands holding on to the edges. He sent his city a look, staring directly out into the part he called home. Through the years of him being Spider-Man, things have been rather simple. At first it was stopping a robbers, muggers, and murders. Then Super Villains showed up, and things got even more complicated. Crime bosses then made him a target, sending even more crooks and baddies his way. And that was how it was for so many years. Then ponies came outta nowhere and now everything’s changing again! Now politics are being involved, terrorist groups at a worldwide war, and a whole new species that isn’t fond of humanity.
“…. Is it weird that I actually miss when the worst I had to deal with were the Sinister Six?” No response came to Peter, but he already knew the answer to that particular question.
For what it’s worth, things weren’t as bad as before. Mutants are now much more widely accepted by the public, minus a few racist here and there. Police are less likely to shoot him and other heroes at the drop of a hat. While he still isn’t loved by the city, Spider-Man is now the unofficial icon of New York. So yes, it is very weird that he’d prefer the older days.
“Ugh, I need some rest.” With a quick thwip of his webs, Spider-Man began to swing through the streets of New York once more. Making his way towards his apartment to catch some much needed rest.

Author's Note
Hey guys! And here is the second chapter! After what seems like an eternity, I have finally given you people the next chapter. And I have to say, I am very....
Disappointed in myself. For both the long wait, and the fact that this chapter is only a little under 3,000 words long. If it were me waiting for a chapter from a kinda good story, I would want more than 3,000 words in it. Yet, I have disappointed myself and have instead decided to give you guys this small chapter. Sure, the last one wasn't very big. But it was the introduction, so it was more forgivable.
And before I sign out, next chapter will have Spidey and the rest getting to the meeting, along with actually starting it. With this kind of set up, I'm sure most of you people will probably guess what is most likely going to happen. Especially if you know a lot of story telling tropes.
Anyway, it has been your lazy author Rising Saiyan, signing out!
