Equestrian Dimensions: A Spider-Man X Power Ponies Story

Swinging their way through the city while Matter-Horn and Hum were holding onto them and Zapp was flying, the five made it to an alleyway where a manhole was located. Peter walked towards the lid and opened it.

“Are you sure this is the right way?” A nervous and disgusted Matter-Horn asked.

“We wouldn’t be here unless we had a specific reason behind it.” Peter said before jumping into the sewers.

The three looked towards Miles who just lifted his shoulders in response before jumping into the sewers. The Masked Matter-Horn turned towards her friends, feeling unnerved about what was inside the sewers.

“Do you think this is safe?” she asked, having second thoughts.

“Oh c’mon. You’re not afraid of a stinky, filthy sewer, are you?” Zapp taunted.

“You’re thinking of Radiance. I’m talking about the myths surrounding them. There aren’t any alligators down there, right?” Matter-Horn asked before looking down into the manhole.

Hearing this, Zapp blew a raspberry and said,

“Suck it up, Matter-Horn.”

On that note, Zapp pushed Matter-Horn into the sewer and laughed, watching her splash into the waters.

“That wasn’t funny, Zapp!” Matter-Horn shouted.

“Oh, that so was! You should’ve seen the look on your face!” Zapp laughed.

Rolling his eyes at their antics, Hum Drum went by Zapp and climbed his way down where the two Spider-Men and Matter-Horn were waiting. After making his way down, Hum Drum looked around the sewers to see if there were any enemies around. Taking note of this, Peter said,

“There’s nothing to worry about, kid. We just have the smell to block out.”

“Right. So Zapp, you feel like coming down here?” Matter-Horn asked.

“I’ll provide lookout. Somepony could come by, sooner or later.” Zapp answered.

Rolling their eyes in annoyance, the four pressed on into the sewers to find Doctor Connors. Walking through various tunnels and scaling every city pipeline, they went through every twist and turn to get to their destination. Even if that meant nearly walking into harm’s way on their perilous journey. Upon finally making it to the doorstep, Peter stops them and says,

“Now before I knock on the door, I need you to promise that you won’t scream or attack in any form of manner.”

“Okay. How come?” Matter-Horn asked.

“Let’s just say he’s a little… different.” Miles clarified.

“We’ve seen worse.” Hum Drum said.

“Don’t say we didn’t warn you.” Peter said before knocking on the door.

Upon hearing the knock, a security camera moved and spotted the foursome as they waited for entry.

“Spider-Man?” the voice asked via the intercom.

“Hey there, doc. I know it’s been awhile, but we have… visitors.” Peter said.

The camera moved slightly and noticed the two ponies behind them.

“How utterly curious. Come right in.” Dr. Connors said before buzzing the door open.

Upon hearing the locking mechanisms move and unlock the door, Peter and Miles turned towards the Masked Matter-Horn and Hum Drum and the first former said,

“Now this is where you follow the two warnings I told you. I promise that when you see him, he won’t attack you.”

“Okay…? How scary can the good doctor be scary?” Matter-Horn asked, nervously chuckling to herself.

Both Peter and Miles chuckled to each other before entering the room. Matter-Horn and Hum Drum turned to each other nervously before shakily entering the room with the two Spider-Men. Inside the room, it was cluttered with computers, science-related equipment, and wooden boards underneath their feet to serve as walkways. There were lights on the ceiling and they kept flickering on and off.

“Dr. Connors!” Peter called out.

“Just one moment, Mr. Parker.” Dr. Connors shouted before injecting himself with some form of purple liquid.

As the four waited for a few minutes, they noticed something crawl along the ceiling. Both Matter-Horn and Hum Drum were creeped out by this while Peter and Miles just stood there, waiting for it to drop down from the ceiling. Looking up, they saw glowing, yellow eyes staring down at them in the shadow. The creature up on the ceiling dropped down in front of them before rising off the ground. Getting a closer look at it, both Matter-Horn and Hum Drum were horrified by its reptilian appearance. It had the appearance of a giant lizard and it was quite tall. It wore a pair of ripped-up pants, a slightly-torn shirt, and a dirty lab-coat. Its limbs were extra long and muscular, its claws were razor-sharp and extra point, it had an elongated tail the size of a snake, and its face ranged around from crocodilian to dinosaurian. It spit out its forked tongue in a snake-like manner and it was quite beastial. Matter-Horn and Hum Drum were breathless and the former was on the verge of activating her powers before Peter and Miles stopped her.

“Wait! That is Dr. Curt Connors!” Peter shouted before moving her arm away.

“Y-You mean t-that monster is-” Hum Drum stammered.

“Yes. And he is not a monster. He was one of Peter’s mentors.” Miles explained.

“I must apologize if my appearance unsettles you. I have been down here for so long that I forgot what it was like to be in the company of others. That, and I have been in this form for so long that I hardly ever try dress for the occasion. But still…” Dr. Connors said before walking closer to Matter-Horn and Hum Drum.

Closely examining their appearances and features, Dr. Connors crawls on the wall and prepares writing notes on one of his journals. While they were watching him write, Matter-Horn leans closer to Peter and whispers,

“Is he always like this?”

“Only when visitors such as you two come around.” Peter answered.

Matter-Horn and Hum Drum looked at each other in confusion before turning to Dr. Connors who had just finished writing his journal. Crawling back down to them, he asks,

“So Peter… how did you and you Equestrian friends meet?”

“It’s a long story…” Peter said before giving a deep sigh.

“We’ll explain everything…” Matter-Horn said with a nervous chuckle.

***

After explaining her story on who she and her friends are along with how they ended up in New York City, Dr. Connors was astonished by everything that he has heard. He climbed all the way up to his office and wrote down everything that he was told by Matter-Horn and Hum Drum. While waiting for him to finish, Matter-Horn turned to Peter and asked,

“Do you know how he ended up like this…?”

“Don’t ask…” Peter said while cringing at the thought of it.

When he was finished, Dr. Connors climbed back down and presented them papers. They were pictured with a giant portal and the materials that they would need if the Power Ponies were to return to Equestria.

“If you girls and your sidekick wish to return home, I will need these parts for the portal. They are being provided by Alchemax. You will have to find and steal them before somebody else finds them.” Dr. Connors explains.

“If that’s what it takes. But what about you? Why are you down here?” Hum Drum asked.

“That is a story for a different time. But as far as I know, the parts are being held in different sections across New York. And Tombstone is one of the only mobsters who knows about the parts needed for the portal. I will provide you with subvocal earpieces, so that I can communicate with you on what to do next.” Dr. Connors explained before heading to another section to grab the earpieces..

“So what must we do first?” Matter-Horn asked.

“You four need to pay a visit to a certain feline in Downtown Manhattan if you want this heist of yours to succeed. Someone who knows her way in the criminal underworld.” Dr. Connors answer while holding onto the earpieces.

“Oh no…” Peter said upon realizing who he has to visit for his first mission.
