The Equestrian Spider-Man
Along Came A Spider
Load Full StoryNext ChapterMorning in New York City, with the sun just rising, A spider was crawling on its web when Spider-Man swung past it until he landed on a flagpole and looked at the city with the lenses of his mask reflecting it. He was wearing his Spider-suit, which was a red and blue skin-tight bodysuit with a red full face mask that white eye lense rimmed with black. The mid-section of the suit was red and had a red belt connected to it whereas the back, sides, waist down (except for the red calf length boots who each had a red band at the top and red soles underneath) and underside of the arms to the middle of the forearm were blue with a red sleeve on the topside of each arm that extended to the red gloves, which the palmar surface of hand didn't have a web pattern and there is a small nozzle that blended into the suit. There was a black web pattern on the red sections with the center commencing at the mask, a small black spider logo on the chest that had the head smaller than the body and a large round red version on the back that had four legs going up and four going down.
He then pulled out his phone and looked at it which showed a map of the city with a spider icon pointing in a direction.
"Found you." he muttered before making his way to the location. He entered the Brooklyn borough and looked at where his phone was directing him "The old abandoned Domino Sugar Refinery. Perfect place to hide all that stolen tech." he said to himself before making his way inside the abandoned complex. Once he entered, he landed on a structure beam and looked around "No one home. Man, I hope it's the right place and not a dead end. Or a trap, 'cause that would suck." he said to himself before lowering himself down to the ground.
He followed the tracking app on his phone, which showed a three dimensional arrow, as he made his way deeper into the abandoned refinery and then saw a giant generator-like machine that had two enormous cylindrical engines on it.
"That's what he was building: a giant generator?" he asked himself "Where is he, according to my signal tracker he should be in the room." he looked at his phone and looked where the arrow was pointing. He then saw one of his Spider-tracers on a table that had blueprints of the machine, he picked it up "Trap." he realized.
"Ah, yes. Such a clever little spider to deduce that... after he crawled into it." an ominous voice was heard in echo.
It was then his Spider-Sense tingled as turrets began popping up and were aiming at him "Oh, boy." he muttered before the turrets began firing on him.
In Equestria, Twilight Sparkle and her friends were out enjoying a morning picnic. Twilight levitated her muffin and took a bite at it.
"Mmh, what a beautiful day it is." she said to her friends.
"Indeed, truly the pegasus ponies have made this a wonderful day to be outside." Rarity agreed.
"Too bad it won't be the same for tonight. Schedule says there's supposed to be rain starting this evening." Rainbow Dash said as she leaned back with her shades on her face.
"In that case let's make the most of the day. Anyone want to try a mufcake?" Pinkie Pies asked while presenting said thing that looked like a mix between a cupcake and muffin, making the rest look confused at her.
"Uh, mufcake?" Fluttershy inquired.
"It's a little thing I've been working on by combining a cupcake and a muffin. Not only is it for breakfast, but it's also like eating desert!" the pinkie pony said with a squee smile.
"Is that even atetable?" Applejack asked, feeling unsure if it's a wise decision to mix a cupcake and muffin together.
"Well there is only one way to find that out is there?" Pinkie said as she leaned on the farm girl before getting back to her place. She threw her breakfast treat in the air and was about to eat it in one bite, until a loud thundering-like boom was heard and the mufcake landed on her head.
"What was that?" Fluttershy asked nervously.
"It sounded like thunder." Twilight answered.
"But that's impossible. There isn't a cloud in sight." Rainbow Dash pointed out by motioning the clear sky.
"Then what do you think it was?" Rarity asked.
"I don't know." Twilight answered "But I think we should go find out." she said
"Then what are we waiting for?" Rainbow Dash asked before hovering off the ground "Let's go!" she flew away, leaving the others, only to return with a sheepish look on her face "Uh, where exactly are we going?" she asked.
"I think the explosion came from the Everfree Forest." Twilight sated "Let's try there and see if there's anything out of the ordinary." she suggested and the group began making their way to the said forest.
Inside the Everfree Forest, Spidey was laying on the ground, with twigs and leaves covering him, groaning in pain "That... was weird." he said to himself as he sat himself and looked around "What the-" he then got up to his feet "This does not look like Central Park." he noted before pulling out his phone "No satellite connection. Must be all these trees." he told himself as he looked to a tree "So let's try the old fashion way." he stated before jumping on the tree and began crawling it up rapidly.
At the top of the tree he poked through the canopy and looked around "Wow, big forest." he pointed out before pulling out his phone and tried again, but to no avail "Nothing. Must at a bad spot." he said before spotted a town "Hey, there's a town over there. Maybe there's a phone that I can use. Or at the very least someone who can help and tell me where I am." he then began making his way towards the town "I hope it all goes well. Knowing my luck, things are bound to get worst." he said as he parkoured through the forest, but stopped when he heard voices "Someone's coming!" he told himself and hid in the tree, using the branches and leaves as cover.
"I think came from this way." Twilight's voice was heard.
"Are you sure Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked.
As Rarity walked, she stepped in a puddle of water "Ew! If I knew we would be going into the Everfree Forest today, I would have worn a pair of boots." she said.
"Quit yer frettin', Rarity." Applejack began before continuing "We're here to find what was that noise. Not worry about getting our hoofs dirty."
Fluttershy was looking around, but was scared of being in the Everfree Forest "Uh, maybe I should head back in town. You know, to make sure everything in Ponyville is fine" she said nervously.
"Don't worry Fluttershy, there's nothing to worry about." Pinkie Pie said to the shy pegasus.
"Yeah, and if there is we can handle it." Rainbow Dash said in a cocky tone.
"Multi-colored talking horses?! Well that's something new." Spidey thought to himself "Either I hit my head to hard or this is one of Mysterio's tricks. Nah. Can't be. Beck's in prison. And even if he wasn't, this would be a little too much for him. It look's more like I'm in a 1980's girl's cartoon or something. I really hope I haven't gone crazy and this is just a weird dream. he thought Either way, I better just back away and not get in their way. Last thing I want to do is bring them into my problem. he began backing away and was about to leave, but stopped "But on the one chance that this is real and not some twisted thing from my imagination or a crazy stunt to drive me insane, I could use help. Plus if they run into trouble they might need my help. he pondered. It was then his train of thoughts were interrupted by a disgusting smell.
"Urgh. What is that smell?" he asked, lowly enough to not be heard. He then spotted three pairs of glowing yellow eyes in a darkened are of the forest. The pairs of eyes advanced to revealed that they belonged to timberwolves "You kidding me?"
"AAAAHHH!" the group of ponies screamed and fled "TIMBERWOLVES!!"
The three timberwolves began chasing the terrified ponies " So much for not getting involved!" Peter exclaimed as he followed them. As the timberwolves were closing in on the ponies, Spider managed to get their attention by shooting web balls at them, getting their attention "Hey, kibble breaths! Come get me!" he called out and began leading them away from the ponies.
As for the mares, they stopped to see the timberwolves following the stranger "What just happened?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I think whoever was there got the timberwolves to chase after him." Twilight said.
"What?! Is he nuts? That feller won't stand a chance with those things." Applejack stated.
"Let's go!" the purple alicorn said and the group followed the timberwolves from behind.
As they followed the trail felt for them to follow, Twilight spoke to the group "Okay girls, be ready. We might have to save him from those timberwolves."
"Yeah, yeah." Rainbow Dash replied "We'll be so fast those timberwolves won't... see... it... coming." she said as her face, as well as the others, were in complete awe.
In front of them, the three timberwolves were tangled up in a giant web cocoon. While they were attempting to get free, their efforts were useless since the webbing was too thick for them to break through.
"Wow!" Pinkie Pie said as she looked in wonder at the site.
"I know. It's awesome." a voice was heard. They looked over to see Spider-Man on a branched looking at them "But if I were you I'd get out of here fast. The webbing can only last so long until it dissolves and I'm all out until I refill." he told them before vanishing in the tree. The group looked at each other before running back towards Ponyville, following the web-head's advice. Unaware that there were two changelings watching them from afar .
"Did you see that?" one of them asked.
"I did. But I don't believe it." the second one answered.
"We gotta tell Queen Chrysalis about this." the first one said. They then departed to reach their queen while they too were being watched by a shadowed figure.
Once the Mane 6 were out of the forest they stopped to catch their breath and Applejack spoke "Everypony okay?"
"I'm good. You?" Twilight asked to the group and they all confirmed.
"Who was that guy?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"How did he ever managed to tangle three timberwolves in webbing?" Rarity asked.
"Where did he go?" Fluttershy asked.
"Who wants to continue the picnic." Pinkie asked, only to receive funny looks until a voice spoke up.
"That sounds like a good idea to me." They looked to see Spider-Man perched on a branched "Especially since I skipped breakfast."
"Who are you?" Twilight asked.
"I'm your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man." he introduced himself dropping off of, landing in front of the ponies and continued "And you would be?" he asked
"My name is Twilight Sparkle." the young alicorn introduced herself.
"Well, I'm Applejack." the farm pony said while tipping her hat.
"The name's Rainbow Dash, the fastest and awesomest flyer there is." she boasted.
"Someone's in need of an ego check." the web slinger muttered, earning a glare from the light blue pegasus.
"You cannot be anymore right." Rarity said with a dry look before introducing herself "My name is Rarity, and I will say that we are deeply grateful for you saving us from those timberwolves."
Spidey paused for a moment and blinked before speaking " Uh, your welcome." he replied awkwardly before muttering to himself"Don't hear that too often." feeling a little weird since he didn't get thanks too often.
"What?" the white unicorn asked, but didn't get her answer since Pinkie Pie jumped in.
"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, your new friend." she said while she got into his face.
"Huh, hi." he dumbly said before asking "Can I please have my personal space back?"
"Okay." the hyperactive pony said before bouncing off, leaving Spidey confused.
"I'm Fluttershy." the yellow pegasus said shyly.
"Nice to meet you all." he said in a friendly manner "And I don't want to sound pushy or anything, but I need your help on something." he said.
"What is it?" Twilight asked.
"I need to get back to my home." he answered before continuing "Not sure if you'll believe me, but I'm from another world." he said, earning surprised looks from everyone.
"I figured." Twilight said "I went to another world once and it's inhabitants looked like you. Except they didn't dressed like that." she motioned to his suit.
"Yeah, I can guess." he admitted.
"What's with the get up anyway? Are you a superhero or something." Rainbow Dash asked as she flew around him.
"As a matter of fact, I am" he confirmed.
"Huh?" the group said before looking at each other and laughing, not believing him.
"I'm not lying." he insisted, feeling offended at the group.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just hard to believe." Rainbow Dash said as she continued to laugh and Applejack spoke up.
"Yeah, I mean, you? A superhero? I need to see proof of that." the cowgirl continued to laugh.
"Proof like me wrapping three giant wolves made of wood while you all ran away screaming in terror?" he reminded them on a deadpan tone. Hearing this caused them to stop laughing.
"Hmm, good point." the orange earth pony admitted.
"So how did you get in Equestria?" Fluttershy asked.
"Equestria?" Spidey felt confused
"It's the named of our land." Twilight. explained.
"Oh, okay." he nodded "I was fighting one of my bad guys when the machine he was working on malfunctioned. It must've opened a portal that sent me here." the red and blue clad hero explained.
"So you're stuck here?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Pretty much." he nodded before continuing "And he might be here as well. I can't leave until find him so I can bring him back to my world." he told them. The mane 6 looked at each other and nodded.
"In that case, we will help you." Twilight said.
"You are?" he asked.
"Why certainly. You saved us from those timberwolves after all. It would be rude not to return the favor." Rarity answered.
"And I give you my word as a princess that I will do whatever I can to help you get back to your home and find your enemy." Twilight said.
"Really? Thanks." he said before realizing something "Wait, you're a princess?" he asked
"Indeed I am." she answered with a smile.
"Huh. You learn something new every minute when you're in another world." he stated.
"Let's head back to Ponyville. You can stay at my place until we get you back to your world." Twilight suggested.
"Are you sure it's a good idea for someone looking like this to walk around in a town filled with ponies is a good idea?" the web-slinger implied while motioning at his appearance.
"Don't worry." Rainbow Dash spoke up "Ponyville has dealt with a lot more weird stuff than a superhero from another world dressed like a spider." she nonchalantly told him.
"Yeah, and you will love Ponyville and make lots of friends and have some super duper fun." Pinkie added.
"If you say so." Spidey replied, still unsure if that was the best course of action.
As they were walking back to Ponyville, Fluttershy spoke up "So, um, h-how did you get your powers?" she asked before adding "If you don't mind."
"I was bitten by a spider." he plainly answered, causing a long silence from the group until Applejack spoke up.
"Really?"
"It's a long story." he admitted "Let me start at the beginning." he said as the group walked towards Ponyville.
Author's Note
Hello my little true believers. I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of this story since more are on the way. For the event of the story, I was thinking of putting them during the 4th season of FIM, before Twilight "officially" became the Princess of Friendship. But if you guys have any other suggestions, like being set before Twilight becomes an Alicorn (putting the events in season 3) or after she gets her castle (putting the events in season 5 or after) I'm all ears and do it now.
As for Spidey, he's been a hero for about 6-8 months (making him either 15 or 16 years old) and has a fair degree of experience, but he's still a teenager and learning the ropes.
For the Spidey suit, it looks almost the same, but with a few small tweaks in order to make it as an amalgamation of various suits. The web-shooters' nozzle sticking out of the suit is a reference to the TASM movies where the web-shoots are partially visible, the spider logo on the chest is the same as the of the debut comic, the large one on the back is inspired by the ones in the Sam Raimi movies, the lack of web pattern on the palmar surface of the hand is from the 2017 series and the red trims on the boots is from into the Spider-Verse. As for the underarm webbing, I have an idea to introduce them into the story that I think you may like.
I'm not officially sure on which voice actor should play Spider-Man. My ideas are Josh Keaton (Spectacular Spider-Man), Robbie Daymond (Marvel's Spider-Man 2017), Yuri Lowenthal (Spider-Man PS4) and Tom Holland (MCU Spider-Man), unless you have someone else in mind. As for the Spidey villain for the story, I am between Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin (mainstream or Ultimate). Vote now on the one you would prefer (both voice actor and villain of the story).
Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I hope you're ready for more.
Edit: Corrections and alterations at the end.
